Days of Our Lives Transcript Thursday 10/3/02
By Amanda
Belle: You're supposed to be in the other bed.
Shawn-d: I was, but... I woke up and you were all the way over here.
Philip: [Groans] Oh, I think I'm dying.
Kate: Yes, I understand, Mr. Wallace. You're a very busy man. But I'm just trying to save you a tremendous amount of time and effort in the long run. Yes, of course, titan did well for you before, but that's because I was taking care of you. I'm at basic black now. Listen; just give me a minute, okay? Damn it.
John: What's wrong?
Kate: Well, what are you doing, checking up on me? I didn't expect you today.
John: Ah, I'm sorry that you've been saddled with so much responsibility since I've been spending so much time at the hospital.
Kate: Yes, well, that's a matter of national security, now, isn't it? Aliens in the basement and all.
John: Not aliens. They're human.
Kate: And they are here because...
John: Well, that's the question. Marlena's working with them, and she's making some headway, and that's about all I can say. And, yes, Kate, I am checking up on you, because I have noticed, believe it or not, that we've experienced a sudden loss in managed accounts. Basic black is now in trouble, and I want an explanation.
Russell: I lose. If you would have done this...
Russell: Yes, you're right, Cassie.
Rex: She always is. Better luck next time, agent spector.
Russell: Oh, I don't think there's going to be where did you learn to play chess like that?
Rex: Here. Yesterday.
Russell: Well, you must've had some knowledge of the game before to play so well now.
Marlena: Why don't you ask him where he got the chess program?
Cassie: My brother wrote it.
Rex: I didn't tell you. It was fixed in my favor. It's a joke.
Russell: Good one. You've done an amazing job, Dr. Evans.
Marlena: Cassie and rex are the amazing ones. They've made progress because they have worked very, very hard.
Russell: And with your support.
Marlena: Yes... Cassie and rex. You will get your wish. I'll get mine, too.
Sami: Brandon, there you are.
Brandon: I have been stopped by every security guard in this hospital today.
Sami: Oh, I know. The whole Gemini twin thing is crazy, isn't it? Can you believe these reporters? Well, we won't have to worry about it for much longer.
Brandon: We won't?
Sami: Well, at least, Brandon, I know we said that we were going to start over and take things slow and do it right this time. But that doesn't mean that we can't go away together, does it? I picked out this place, but we can go somewhere different if you would rather.
Brandon: Samantha, I love it. This looks expensive.
Sami: It's already been paid for. You don't have to worry about it.
Brandon: You know, I-I'd rather --
Sami: I want to do something so you want to go with me?
Brandon: Of course I do.
Sami: Good, because we both deserve it. And this is going to be a weekend that we remember for the rest of our lives.
Victor: You see? All you needed was a little fresh air.
Nicole: What I need is peace of mind, and there's only one person who can provide that -- Sami Brady.
Philip: Oh.
[Groaning]
Belle: Philip, in my room, are you?
Shawn-d: Hey, you weren't sick in my room, were you?
Philip: Does anybody have an aspirin?
Belle: I don't think that's right now. Here.
Philip: I tried to take some last night, and it didn't help at all.
Belle: While you were drinking? Philip, promise me you're never going to do that again. It's really bad for you.
Philip: Like I care at this point.
Belle: Hey, don't make your friends worry about you, too.
Philip: If Chloe wasn't so sick, I wonder how different everything would be right now. Maybe we'd still be together. And even if we weren't, maybe it wouldn't be so hard to let her go. I don't know. I don't even know if she knows how much I care.
Belle: Of course she does.
Philip: She didn't even invite me to her 18th birthday party. She obviously doesn't even think of me as a friend anymore
Belle: Philip, Chloe didn't even know about that party. It was a surprise. And dr. And Mrs. Wesley thought it might be uncomfortable for you.
Philip: Yeah, and for her and for Brady and for everyone else, including you, which it was. I can't do this anymore. No more drinking -- cold turkey. You know what? I'm going to do the same thing when it comes to Chloe.
Kate: John, I just didn't see the need to concern you when the losses are temporary -- recession-based panic. I mean, I'm in the process of getting most of the accounts if you give me a month; I'm going to have them all back and then some.
John: I hope so.
Kate: I will. And I promise to keep you completely informed in the future.
John: I appreciate that. Kate, for the record, I know that you have been working your tail off here while I've been gone -- and Brady -- but I just want you to know we're both going to be back to work full-time real soon.
Kate: You take all the time you need, okay?
John: I hope that won't be much longer. It better not be.
Kate: Uh, john, you know, about the Gemini twins, I mean, the way they've been isolated, why -- why is that? Is there a threat? I mean, I know that you wouldn't let Marlena spend that much time with them if you thought, uh...
John: Well, let's just say that it's necessary that she does this, and I really wish it weren’t.
[Cellular phone rings]
John: Excuse me.
[Ring]
John: Hello.
Marlena: Hi.
John: Hey, doc.
Marlena: Ha ha ha ha! It's me.
John: So, how's it going?
Marlena: I've got some good news for you.
John: I need some good news. Give it to me.
Marlena: I'd like to give it to you in person. How soon can you get here?
John: How about right now?
Marlena: I was hoping you'd say that. I love you.
John: I love you, too.
Kate: Well, you look happy.
John: I think I just got my wife back.
Kate: Oh.
John: I will, uh, check in with you this afternoon.
Kate: Great.
John: Lucas.
Lucas: Mr. Black.
Kate: [Groans]
Lucas: Hey, mom. What was that meant for -- john or me?
Kate: No, I was visualizing Nicole walker's head. Oh, god. Just one more thing I'm going to have to piece together, thanks to her.
Lucas: Don't worry about it. You're going to hurt yourself, all right? Don't touch it.
Kate: No, no, no. I'm going to hurt her. I worked so hard to build up basic black, and I promised john he could trust me. I said I'd fix it. Listen, if you came here to talk to me about something, it's just going to have to wait.
Lucas: Where are you going?
Kate: To permanently fix Nicole.
Brandon: Samantha, I do want to go so much, but I just don't think
Nicole: Brandon.
Brandon: Hey.
Nicole: Did I just hear you say you can't leave your sister? Where were you thinking of going?
Brandon: Well, Samantha planned a weekend getaway for us.
Nicole: Of course you should go. I'd only feel worse if you didn’t.
Brandon: Nicky.
Nicole: I don't need a babysitter, Brandon.
Brandon: Okay. Okay. If you're sure.
Nicole: Absolutely. Sami, before I leave you alone with my brother for the weekend, could I speak to you privately?
Sami: Yeah, sure, I --
Brandon: Uh, whatever you have to say, I'd rather you say it in front of me.
Nicole: I rather I didn’t. Girl talk, you know, and not about you.
Brandon: Yeah, right, well, still, you might need a referee.
Nicole: Says my brother the boxer. I won't punch Sami again, I promise. Bad news on top of bad news on top of bad news tends to suck the energy out of a person after a while. I assume my brother told you I might not be able to have children since the shooting. I'm sure you think that's a wonderful thing.
Sami: Well, Nicole, I...
Nicole: And since it can't happen for me, I... I at least want Brandon to have the happy family he's always wanted. He deserves that. And what I wanted to say is I'm sorry, Sami. Maybe you can wheel me out on the terrace. It's a beautiful day.
Sami: Yeah.
Victor: I'll be waiting right here.
Nicole: I'm sorry, Sami, that you're with my brother.
Sami: Let's not start that again, shall we?
Nicole: And I want you to know that you're the reason I'm infertile.
Sami: What are you talking about?
Nicole: The doctor said I had scar tissue from the shooting.
Sami: Look, we both know that it is not my fault that you got shot.
Nicole: The problem was compounded by an injury I got here in the hospital when you decided to wrestle me in the morgue.
Sami: Nicole, you were trying to kill me.
Nicole: No. You thought I was trying to kill you because that's what you would've done. But it doesn't matter, because you will be dead as soon as I tell victor what you did.
Philip: Mmm, that's good.
Belle: Cold turkey -- good for you.
Philip: Yeah.
Belle: But you're not saying you're never going to see Chloe again.
Philip: No, no, I'm just -- I'm just giving us both a rest, so that the next time she sees me, she won't be all tense and upset. You know, maybe she'll think of me the way it used to be and realize how much she misses me. You guys think I'm crazy. You think she'll never come back to me, huh?
Shawn-d: Phil.
Philip: But I have to believe that she's going to get better. I know it sounds hopeless, but you guys believe, right?
Shawn-d: Sure we do.
Belle: Now, let's get some breakfast. I heard they were ordering in some stuff downstairs.
Philip: No, no, I'm not going down there. It's a mob scene. Everybody's babbling about that, uh, the votes for that homecoming thingy.
Belle: The heartbreaker election?
Shawn-d: Belle's dying to get downstairs to see if she was elected heartbreaker.
Belle: Oh, yeah.
Philip: Well, I think belle's going to win.
Shawn-d: Yeah? Hmm? Well, you better not break my heart.
Belle: Uh, sorry, Philip.
Philip: What are you sorry about? Look at you two. After everything you've been through... so why shouldn't that be able to happen with Chloe and me? I'm not going to make the same mistakes again when Chloe gives us another chance, and she will. She has to.
Sami: I wouldn't have been in the morgue in the first place if you hadn't tricked me into going down there. You were threatening me with a bottle of formaldehyde. I was just trying to get away. Is that what you were going to tell victor, that he's marrying a nut case?
Nicole: I'm going to tell him, Sami, that you shoved me down. And because of you I can't give him a child. And if there is anything victor cares about as much as me, you have yet again found a way to hit him where it hurts. And victor's the only one who can hit you where it hurts, since he can expose every bad thing you ever did to every person you ever loved, and I use that term loosely.
Sami: Well, you should, given that you slept with Colin when you were supposed to be in love with victor. If you dare to tell him any of your lies, he will find out all about your little affair.
Nicole: Your photos and your tapes don't scare me now, Sami. You shoved me in front of a bullet. You tried to pull the plug on my life support, and then you fought me and made me infertile.
Sami: You are lying about all of it.
Nicole: Prove it. I'm in a much stronger bargaining position than you. In fact, you're in no position at all except flat on your back with your tail between your legs.
Sami: Look, Nicole, why are we bargaining at all? Right? I mean, if we both keep our mouths shut, no one gets hurt.
Sami: What if I don't keep my mouth shut? It's my word against yours, and I will absolutely tell victor if you don't prove to me right now that you will leave us alone forever.
Sami: How?
Nicole: How do you think?
Sami: Ha ha. No, I am not giving you the pictures or the tape.
Nicole: I'm going to give you a deadline. You live right around the corner. How about a half an hour?
Sami: No way.
Nicole: You just wasted 10 seconds. Get moving, Sami, or say goodbye to Brandon and everything else that victor will take away from you when I tell him.
Brandon: Hey, whoa, Samantha. Hey, hey, what's wrong? What happened out there between you and Nicole? Looking for Harry potter magic?
John: Ha ha ha. Hey. Hey. Oh...
Marlena: Oh, I missed you so. Mmm. You know, I've seen you practically every day, but, oh, it's not like being with you.
John: Are you saying what I think you're saying? Is my good news the best news I could hope for?
Marlena: You are taking me home.
John: Ah, yes!
[Both laugh]
John: Now, the last time I was here, Cassie and rex still had amnesia. So, have you had a huge breakthrough, or are we just kind of shutting this whole thing down?
Marlena: No, neither one. But now they're communicating, and they're comfortable with strangers, and there's no longer a need for daily intense therapy.
John: But you're still with them, right?
Marlena: Oh, sure. I want to know who they are, where they're from. I know you can understand that. You said I couldn't read their minds, so I couldn't possibly know for sure if they were human weapons sent by Stefano. But when I look into their eyes, I see what I saw looking at you for the first time. Not exactly the same thing, the same benevolence, the same goodness.
John: All right. Hey, what do you say we put a moratorium on twin talk, huh? I mean, this is our day, so let's get the hell out of here and start enjoying it, okay? Come on.
Marlena: Oh, honey, honey, I am so looking forward to that, but there's one thing I must do first.
John: Yeah? What's that?
Marlena: Rex and Cassie and I gave ourselves two wishes. Mine came true when you walked in the door. Now I've got to make sure that theirs comes true.
John: Which is?
Cassie: Hello, Mr. Black.
Rex: It's good to see you again.
John: Hello.
Marlena: My husband and agent spector would like to hear your wish.
Rex: We appreciate everything that all of you have done for us here.
Cassie: Yes, we're very grateful. And now that we've cooperated with you and done everything that you've asked, we would like to ask something of you. Set us free.
Rex: Let us go today.
Dozer: I voted for you, you know, heartbreaker.
Cynthia: Thanks.
Dozer: You know, Cynthia, I was thinking, um, maybe you wanna come to some of the homecoming parties with me tonight after we win the big game.
Philip: Whoa! Is this like an official house thing? 'Cause I can go, guys.
Shawn-d: No.
Belle: Mimi comes with us to every official house thing, and she doesn't live here.
Shawn-d: Does she have a class now?
Belle: Yeah. She really wanted to be here for the heartbreaker announcement. Don't ask me why.
Girl: Everybody, attention, please. As president of Hartley house, I am pleased to announce our heartbreaker for homecoming 2002.
[Cheers and applause]
Girl: The envelope, please.
[Laughter]
Girl: Wow. A freshman. Isabella black. Congratulations, belle.
[Cheers and applause]
Philip: Belle.
Belle: Somehow this doesn't feel like a compliment.
Shawn-d: Well, you are the most popular, of course. Go get your award. You're the champion.
Belle: Thank you.
Girl: You're supposed to rip it in half.
Belle: Oh.
Belle: Philip, I thought you loved Chloe. How could you get naked with another girl? How could any guy do that?
Belle: I thought Shawn loved me, too. But he did the same thing with Jan.
Belle: You know what, Margot?
Margot: Come on, you have to. It's tradition.
Margot: All right.
[Cheers and applause]
Shawn-d: Yeah! Whoo! Whoo!
Dozer: You should have won, cyn.
Shawn-d: Belle!
Cynthia: Yeah, I should have. But you know what? I've lost to belle black and her stupid little groupies for the last time.
Belle: [Laughing]
Shawn-d: [Laughing]
Brandon: Samantha, talk to me. What happened out there with you and Nicole?
Victor: Nicole, are you all right? What happened with Sami?
Nicole: Nothing. We just talked.
Victor: Talked about nothing? You said you wanted to mend fences. I take it that didn't happen.
Nicole: Victor, if you don't mind, I really don't want to talk about it right now.
Sami: I really feel badly, Brandon.
Brandon: About what?
Sami: Nicole and everything she's going through. You know, I think about all the arguments. They all seem so petty now. I hope that's all over with.
Nicole: Victor, what time is it?
Victor: 9:25.
Sami: Brandon, I left my purse in the car. I have to go get it.
Brandon: Okay. I'll see you later.
Sami: Out, Lucas.
Lucas: What trouble are you running from now, Sami?
Lucas: Why don't you do us all a favor and keep running -- out of town -- and never come back?
Sami: Oh, but you'd hate that, Lucas, because who else would you have to torment?
Lucas: Aah! Ah, man!
Brandon: [Chuckles] Okay.
Lucas: One second. Hey. Spare me the sarcasm, huh?
Brandon: Are you secretly attracted to Samantha? Is that why you can't leave her alone?
Lucas: Why don't we talk about you leaving me alone?
Brandon: Aw, but I long to spend time with you, Lucas. You make one of the best case studies I've ever met.
Kate: Don't be so rude!
Victor: You would do well to heed your own advice.
Kate: Ahh. And what about your fiancée? Is it socially acceptable for her to tell me that we're both failures, including our son?
Victor: Perhaps if you'd leave us alone, as we've requested so many times.
Kate: Oh, I'd be glad to leave you alone -- if you would leave me alone and my basic black accounts. I'll be out of your life forever if you just sign them back to me today.
Victor: I could do that. But I won’t. Nicole has your accounts because she's vastly more competent than you are.
Kate: Not in business, and not in bed... although she's gotten everything she has by lying on her back.
Victor: That's enough.
Kate: You may be barren now, Nicole, but when I'm finished with you, you'll barely exist.
Victor: I love you, Nicole, and Kate will pay dearly if she tries to hurt you.
Russell: You have been extremely cooperative, and we're not planning to keep you here forever, but right now, I don't have the authority to release you.
Rex: If you don't, who does?
Cassie: You put Marlena in charge. Ask her.
Marlena: Why don't you two go to your room and start packing your things? I'll take care of it here. Don't worry.
Marlena: Why are you stalling?
Russell: We still don't know who they are.
Marlena: And we won't if we keep them here. They haven't tried to hurt themselves or anybody else. And there's no reason to think they'll do that in the future. Their amnesia is clearly trauma-based, and if we don't expose them to the outside world, to some reminders of the life they had before this, well, they'll never improve. Now, do you want to undo all the good we've done here?
John: Hey, doc, that's it, look at them -- happy, healthy. I'd say a million times better off than when they first got here. So how can you say this place isn't good for them? Hmm?
Marlena: How long do you want to keep them here, the rest of their lives? I don't think that their health and safety is your first concern.
John: I'm not disregarding their health and safety. And I won't disregard yours or belle's or anyone else's, no. You and I both know that they are connected to Stefano dimera somehow. We just don't know how.
Marlena: I don't think that's why you want them here. I think you want someone to pay for Stefano’s sins, and you've decided that's going to be Cassie and rex.
Cynthia: What's the deal, Margot? I know for a fact at least 20 people voted for me!
Margot: I don't know where you got your facts, but two people voted for you -- one of them being you, I assume. And to tell you the truth, I really can't imagine who else. Look, it's my job to keep things happy and peaceful around here, and I've already had... well, complaints, Cynthia. This is college now, okay? So let's try to act like it.
[Laughter]
Cynthia: Well, you can count on belle to do that title proud. She's sure to break at least one heart before the year's over. I wonder who the poor guy will be.
Nicole: I'm feeling better, victor. Really, I am.
Victor: Get you a tissue.
Nicole: [Thinking] Sami's time is running out. She'd better get back here with those pictures and that tape.
Victor: There you go.
Nicole: Thank you.
Victor: Anything else I can get you?
Nicole: Um, there is. If you wouldn't mind going down to the gift shop, getting me a stuffed animal or something small and soft that I could hold on to.
Victor: I'll be right back.
Nicole: No way, never, huh? And look at you -- back with time to spare. All right, come on, hand it over before victor gets back and sees anything. Oh! A little game of tug-of-war, huh? Well, I can guarantee you who's going to lose this time. If you want your life, let go.
Sami: [Clears throat]
Nicole: There better not be any copies.
Sami: There aren’t.
Nicole: "Colin and Nicole admit they had sex"? Oh, this is great, Sami. What do you have, a library full of alphabetized blackmail tapes?
Sami: Oh, no, but maybe I should start one.
Nicole: Housecleaning complete.
Sami: So, now you are going to leave me alone, right?
Nicole: I swear. You won't ever have to worry about me again. Now get out.
Sami: Gladly.
Nicole: [Chortles] What are you, crazy, Sami? I'm just getting started with you.
John: How can you even say that to me? I understand that only Stefano can pay for Stefano’s sins. Look, I don't want anybody hurt here. I mean, that's the whole point.
Marlena: All right. What do you suggest we do with rex and Cassie?
John: I don't know. I -- you're the expert. What do you suggest?
Marlena: I think you should call somebody who can sign their release form. Otherwise, I'll be calling somebody who would be a civil rights attorney.
Russell: All right, I'll make the call.
Marlena: Thank you.
Russell: I'll be right back.
Cassie: We're ready.
Marlena: Oh, well, we're not quite ready yet. Agent spector has gone to find someone who can sign your release.
Rex: I know you think we're bad because of these. We don't want the phoenix. Take it off. Take it off so you'll know we're good.
[Knock on door]
Nicole: [Sniffling] That's very sweet, victor. Thank you.
Victor: Hey, now that was supposed to make you feel better.
Nicole: I'm sorry. I'm just thinking about the baby I'll never hold,
Victor: Now don't you worry about me. The only thing I care about is that you are okay.
Nicole: She told me it would matter.
Victor: Who?
Nicole: Kate. She came in here yesterday and told me you would leave me if I couldn't have your baby.
Victor: She what? Now, Nicole, you have to know that's not true.
Nicole: I don't have the strength to deal with her, with them.
Victor: I will take care she's the other one you're talking about, isn't she? Tell me for the last time. What happened on that terrace today?
Nicole: I tried to apologize to her, and Sami wouldn't accept. She's going to try and turn my own brother against me and ruin his life in the meantime. Kate and Sami hate me, and they hate that I'm marrying you.
Victor: You know, I've been trying for the longest time to come up with the perfect wedding gift for you, and I just figured it out. And it will banish all of your fears forever.
Kate: What are you doing here?
Sami: What are you doing here? You don't really want to be married to victor again, do you?
Kate: Oh, you have to be kidding.
Sami: Well, honey, why do you hate Nicole so much?
Kate: Why do you?
Sami: Because she does everything she can to make my life miserable, and I don't even know why.
Kate: Ditto. Exactly.
Sami: Yesterday, she got to you, didn't she? She made you upset.
Kate: No. No, it's just that she thinks she's winning. She thinks she's marrying such a great prize.
Sami: [Scoffs]
Kate: Yeah, well, she's not. And she's not going to beat me at anything. And knowing you, she's not going to beat you, either. I mean, look at you. Nicole's best efforts, all of her efforts, and you're still together with the latest love of your life -- her brother.
Sami: Yeah.
Kate: Ha ha ha.
Sami: What's so funny, Kate?
Kate: Well, I never thought I'd hate anyone more than I hate you.
Sami: What do you know? You and I, we have something in common.
Kate: A common enemy. Nicole walker.
Margot: Thank you. Okay, belle, the heartbreaker's first job is to lead the way to the field for the homecoming game.
Belle: Okay, well, let's get everyone together.
Margot: All right!
Shawn-d: Hey, you going to the game?
Philip: Well, what else am I going to do? Is your team any good?
Shawn-d: Dozer says they are, but then again, he's on it.
Philip: Ah, let's go.
Shawn-d: All right. You wear belle's sweatshirt.
Belle: Go eagles!
All: Go, eagles!
[Cheering]
Cynthia: Aren't you playing tonight?
Dozer: Sure, I am. Listen, don't worry about it. I'm sure you'll win heartbreaker next year. You never did tell me if you wanted to go to the parties --
Cynthia: Dozer, if you want to date me, you have to do me a favor first. Make sure belle lives up to her title. Do whatever it takes to make sure she breaks a heart.
John: Look, Cassie and rex, we don't want to have to put you through that. It would be a painful experience to have that tattoo removed, and it really wouldn't make a difference. As I showed you, I have a tattoo just like that one.
Rex: So it's not the tattoo? You think we're bad inside and you can't get rid of that.
Marlena: No. No one believes that. Nobody thinks that you are bad inside. I've got to speak to my husband privately about something. Would you mind going to your room just for a few minutes? I'll be right in.
Cassie: Okay.
Rex: Sure.
Russell: Well, you win. I have the directive. The twins will be released.
Marlena: Thank you.
John: And where are they going to go?
Russell: Well, given the fact that they have no memories of their past or any identification, obviously they can't be released to live on their own. So, we'll have to set in motion proceedings to establish court-appointed guardians.
John: Mm-hmm. And how do you find those?
Marlena: Right here.
John: What?
Marlena: Belle and Brady and we have two more bedrooms. They can stay with us.
John: Over my dead body. No, no, I take that back. There will be no dead bodies. It's not gonna happen, no way.
Nicole: Okay, I can't take the suspense anymore. You must tell me what my wedding present's going to be.
Victor: Peace of mind. Suffice it to say on the day that you and I are married; I promise you I will destroy Kate and Sami
