Days of Our Lives Transcript Wednesday 12/18/02--Canada; 12/19/02--USA
By Eric
Belle: Hey.
Philip: Ah, there she is. There’s the Meemster of my dreams -- ow!
Mimi: You're in a good mood.
Philip: Well, you're looking at a man who just aced his history exam.
Mimi: Whoa. You're not turning into a student on us, are you?
Philip: I'm giving it my all, Meems -- got to.
Mimi: Well, that’s great. Of course, now that you're, like, smarter and cuter than ever, you're taking off and heading to New York City.
Philip: Yeah.
Mimi: You are still going to Columbia, aren’t you?
Belle: So, how did you do on your finals?
Shawn-D: I did okay, thanks to Cassie and to you, my beautiful note taker.
Belle: Oh, really? You think I take beautiful notes? Is it my artistic handwriting?
Shawn-D: You know what I mean. I would have been a total mess if it wasn’t for you this semester.
Rex: I think we should start packing, Cassie. Tony’s expecting us.
Cassie: Forget it. I'm not going anywhere.
Sami: I've got to get to the results of Lexie’s paternity test before Dr. Bader sees them.
Karen: Before I what?
Sami: Dr. Bader. I'm so glad you're still here. I was going to find Brenda. Mrs. Millbauer has gone into labor.
Karen: Ann Millbauer? She’s not due for another two weeks.
Sami: I guess Christmas has come early. And it better come early for me, too. Lexie just can’t be pregnant with Brandon’s child.
Lexie: Brandon, we need to talk.
Brandon: Yeah, we do, about your baby. I want the truth, Lexie -- now.
Nicole: Hong Kong, Quebec, Positano.
Victor: And you couldn’t care less.
Nicole: I'm not big on traveling.
Victor: Would you rather not have a honeymoon?
Nicole: Right now, I'd rather hear where you're planning to send Kate and Sami after our wedding. Someplace in hell, I'm hoping.
Victor: You think I don’t see through you.
Nicole: What?
Victor: You just want to marry me so I can take care of your enemies. Isn’t that the truth? Isn’t it?
Larry: You've been a very naughty boy, working with Raymond Grant behind Tony’s back. He wouldn’t like that one bit, would he? Oh, you know, but that’s okay. Not only are you not working for Raymond Grant anymore, you're not working for Tony DiMera, either. As a matter of fact, as of this moment, I'm the boss.
Colin: I won’t be blackmailed by you, Larry.
Larry: Ha ha ha ha. That’s impressive bravado from a man who doesn’t have a choice in the matter, Murphy. Not only are you going to carry out the hit on Bo, but now that I have this wealth of information on you, I see no reason why I have to pay the $2 million that you're expecting.
Colin: What?
Larry: [Imitating Colin] That’s right, mate. You're going to kill your cousin Bo out of the goodness of your heart, as a favor.
Nicole: Before you go jumping down my throat, could you just let me explain?
Victor: Just answer my question, would you?
Nicole: Fine. It’s simple, really. I'm marrying you because I love you, because you make me feel good about myself, even when you're mean to me.
Victor: And just how do I make you feel good about yourself?
Nicole: Don’t you know? It’s not that you just obviously need me and want me around that makes me feel important. It’s the feeling of power, knowing that I'll soon be a part of the amazing Kiriakis family. What an ego trip, huh?
Victor: An ego trip. Is that what I am to you?
Nicole: I'm joking. I thought you liked my sarcasm. You said I have your heart because I make you laugh.
Victor: You also make me want to strangle you sometimes.
Nicole: All right, well, if it’s a problem, let’s fix it. How can I avoid this, making you so mad? In the future, I mean.
Victor: Behave. Understand the rules.
Nicole: Sure. No problem. But could you write them down so I can study them?
Victor: I will give you the world, Nicole, as long as you accept the fact that it comes with a price.
Lexie: Brandon, I've told you the truth. I am pregnant with Abe’s baby. This baby is a gift from God, okay? It’s a sign that my life is finally back on track.
Brandon: Do you really believe that?
Lexie: Yes.
Brandon: What, you get pregnant, and just like that, all the anger and the distrust that drove you and Abe apart magically disappears?
Lexie: Abe and i love each other. We've been able to forgive one another, and that’s a blessing, too, just like this baby. And I'm happy to report that Abe and I are moving back in together for good.
Brandon: For good?
Lexie: Mm-hmm.
Brandon: I don’t know about that.
Lexie: What do you mean, you don’t know about that? This has nothing to do with you, Brandon. You have no say in my life.
Brandon: Really? Well, you're obviously forgetting about one minor detail, Lexie -- the baby you are carrying could be mine.
Brenda: Oh, no, you don’t.
Sami: Brenda, I was --
Brenda: Dr. Bader told me what you did, Sami, and if you think that you're getting away with it, I've got a news flash for you.
Colin: If you think I'm going to kill Bo for nothing more than a thank-you card, you're greatly mistaken.
Larry: Am I? You realize, Colin, if you disobey, Bo and the Salem P.D. Are going to receive those incriminating files that I have on you.
Colin: You told me those files are only to be delivered in the event that something happens to you.
Larry: Or if I decide to stop paying rent on the safety deposit box where they're currently kept in because somebody keeps annoying me.
Colin: Go ahead. Give Bo the damn files. He doesn’t frighten me.
Larry: Really? Well, how about Shane Donovan, or, let’s say, Tony DiMera? You see, Colin, I plan to distribute those files to all of the people who can hurt you the most. Now, are you willing to take that risk? I need to repair.
Philip: Yeah, Mimi, I am still registered at Columbia, but before I go, there’s a relationship I need to repair.
Mimi: With who?
Philip: My dad.
Mimi: Oh. Phew. I thought you were going to say Chloe I'm glad you've finally given up on her. Someone who’s going totally love you back, Philip.
Philip: Thanks, Meems.
Mimi: You're welcome. Later.
Shawn-D: So... are you ready for our special party tonight?
Belle: Definitely. I can’t wait.
Cassie: Rex, um, I just talked to Tony, and he said that we can stay another night at the dorm so we can enjoy the party.
Rex: Great. In that case, I have to do something.
Cynthia: Exams may be over, Cassie, but your test has just begun. Can you stop Shawn and Belle before they get much, much closer?
Lexie: Brandon, how many times do I have to tell you? Abe is the father.
Brandon: And how many times have you and Abe tried to have a kid before and failed? There’s a reason for that, Lexie.
Lexie: And there’s a reason why you can’t be the father. You and I used protection, remember? Abe and I didn’t.
[Pager beeps]
Brandon: I have to call the hospital. We're not finished.
Victor: We have a deal, Nicole. It hasn’t slipped your mind, I hope.
Nicole: A lifetime of power, as long as I'm a faithful little wife who brings you your slippers and never so much as looks at another man.
Victor: Don’t mock me.
Nicole: Mock you? I love the idea, and let me tell you, it’s easy not to be interested in other men when you're deeply in love with one extraordinary, handsome, sexy man who satisfies all your needs.
[Cellular phone rings]
[Ring]
[Ring]
Victor: Yes, Marie. Yes. Did you hear from Gene Briscoe?
Nicole: [Thinking] No messages. Guess Dr. Murphy wasn’t up to a house call.
Victor: Well, my meeting with Gene Briscoe’s been postponed. I have the rest of the day free.
Nicole: Well, good for you. I, however, have tons of work.
Victor: No, you don’t. I've given you the rest of the day off.
Nicole: Why?
Victor: So we can go home and get in bed.
Nicole: No.
Victor: What?
Nicole: Getting in bed, you and me? Unh-unh. I can’t do it.
Larry: I want Bo taken care of now, Murphy.
Colin: Like I told grant, I'm a professional. I do things in my own time and with surgical precision. I will not make a move till I'm 100% certain there'll be no fingerprints left on the job -- not mine, not yours. Now, do you want it done fast or right?
Larry: Both. All right, but you've got till the end of the month. But then I expect you to give the Bradys and the Hortons a holiday season they'll never forget.
Colin: Fine. I'll take care of cousin Bo before the end of the year -- pro bono.
Larry: Good.
Colin: Welch.
Larry: What?
Colin: How do I get in touch with you?
Larry: You don’t, but I'll be definitely in touch with you. After all, Santa knows when you're sleeping. He knows when you're awake. He knows when you've been bad or --
Colin: I get the point.
Larry: Good. Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas, everybody! Merry Christmas!
Colin: Damn it.
Colin: What am I going to do? What the hell am I going to do?
Nicole: Okay, wait, wait. Before you get all mad and paranoid, there’s a reason I don’t want to just jump into bed with you right now -- at home, I mean. It’s because I have an idea. Now, granted, it’s a little old-fashioned, but I think it’s kind of sweet.
Victor: What’s the idea?
Nicole: That we wait until our wedding night until we make love again.
Victor: And you just came up with this sweet little idea now?
Nicole: Actually, my mom came up with it, believe it or not. We sort of had a heart-to-heart. She told me she regretted treating certain moments in her life like they weren’t as special as they should have been, and that got me thinking, because I want our wedding night to be like a fantasy -- the start of a whole new magical life.
Victor: What a load of crap.
Nicole: What?
Victor: What you said. I don’t buy it, not for a minute.
Celeste: Alexandra, you must end your relationship with Brandon if you are to save your future with Abraham.
Brandon: I know you want everything you're telling me to be true, but it just doesn’t add up.
Lexie: Really? And since when did you become a fertility expert?
Brandon: I'm just asking what changed. I mean, you and Abe tried for years to have a kid, and then one night you're together, and just like magic --
Lexie: Okay, well, that’s what happened. Conception is like magic, okay? There are hundreds of variables. People can try for 10 years to have a baby and then suddenly, for no apparent reason, it happens, and only God knows why.
Brandon: And people sometimes make love only once, try not to have a kid, use protection, and also, like magic, a child is conceived, like with you and me.
Lexie: What is this, some macho B.S., Hmm? You think that you're that virile, that all you have to do is look at a woman and she gets pregnant?
Brandon: I did a lot more than look at you.
Lexie: Look, it was a stupid fling, Brandon, and your ego can’t take it. You can’t take that I didn’t come running back to you --
Brandon: This isn’t about you and me, damn it. This child could be mine, and if it is, I'm not going to walk away.
Lexie: Okay, enough. I will prove to you that this is Abe’s baby, and when I do, Abe and I will have the marriage we deserve, and we will live happily ever after, unlike you and Sami. I'm giving Abe a child. The only thing that Sami Brady will ever give you is grief.
Sami: Whoa, Brenda, I don’t know what you're talking about.
Brenda: You told Dr. Bader that Mrs. Millbauer was in labor when that wasn’t true.
Sami: Oh, I-I was just trying to help.
Brenda: You undermined my authority, and you made me look incompetent.
Sami: I am so sorry. I screwed up. I-I'll never do it again.
Brenda: Mm-hmm. You better not, because this is me being nice, Sami. You won’t like it when I'm angry.
Sami: I can’t stand you now.
Sami: Eugenia, just the person I was looking for. I'm here to pick up Dr. Carver’s paternity test for Dr. Bader.
Eugenia: Sorry. I've thought about it, and it’s against hospital policy to give out results without specific authorization from the attending physician.
Sami: Weren’t you the one who sent the wrong test results to a patient not too long ago? That poor woman had a chest cold, but thanks to your little slip-up, she thought she had lung cancer.
Eugenia: Only for two days.
Sami: That was long enough for her to threaten to sue the hospital until I bailed you out with a little fancy paperwork. In fact, Dr. Wesley never found out that you were to blame. At least... he hasn’t found out yet.
Sami: Thanks. See you later.
Sami: Oh, my gosh.
We will return for the second half of "days of our lives" in just a moment.
Cassie: You know, I appreciate the offer, Cynthia, but I don’t need to be tutored on how to get Shawn. It’s only a matter of time before he realizes that I'm the best choice around.
Cynthia: Ha ha. For someone so smart, Cassie, you are incredibly dumb. If you want to break up Salem U.’s supercouple, you're going to need all the help you can get. Speaking of breakups... hey, Philip.
Philip: Hey.
Cynthia: Word’s out you're transferring to Columbia next semester.
Philip: Yeah, I'm considering it.
Cynthia: Well, you should. Getting away from Chloe Lane will be the best thing that’s ever happened to you.
Belle: Hey, Mimi, I've been wanting to talk to you since this morning. I have major news.
Mimi: Cool. Gossip. Who about?
Belle: Me... and Shawn. We're going to -- tonight, for the first time, we're going to --
Mimi: [Gasps] Oh, no, Belle, you can’t.
Rex: Shawn, are you okay?
Shawn-D: What? Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine. Listen, um... there’s no chance that you're going to the DiMera mansion tonight?
Rex: No, not till tomorrow. Tony’s letting us stay for the party. Is that a problem?
Shawn-D: Yes, kind of. I was just hoping to have the room tonight.
Rex: Why?
Shawn-D: Belle -- Belle and i kind of wanted to spend some quality time alone, you know, just the two of us. You can’t -- can’t you just bunk in with Cassie?
Rex: I-I guess so.
Shawn-D: All right, cool. Thank you, man. That’s awesome. Uh, listen, I got to run. I have an errand to do. Have fun with your game -- everquest thing.
Cassie: Hey, Shawn.
Shawn-D: Cassie, hi. Yeah. You know... it’s so funny. I wanted to -- I wanted to thank you for all that help you gave me during finals. You really helped me kick some major butt on my tests. I think I passed, so...
Cassie: Oh, that’s good.
Shawn-D: Yeah, thanks. Yeah. Yeah, all right. Okay. Listen, I got to -- I got to run. I have errands, so I'll see you later.
Cassie: [Giggles] That hug was 1.8 seconds longer than the last one. Things are looking up. Ha ha ha ha.
Colin: What is this? "Dear Colin, here’s a little bit of Christmas cheer. More to come when I see you. Looking forward to spending quality time with you in the new year. Love, Jennifer." Hello, may I speak with Jennifer Horton, please? Then can you put me through to her voice mail? Thanks. Hello, Jennifer, it’s Colin. Thank you for the decorations and your lovely note. Let’s get together as soon as possible. Call me, please.
[Pager beeps] Hmm. A message from the $5 million girl. Thank you, Nicole. Now I know exactly how Jennifer and I can be together.
Nicole: What do you mean you're not buying it? I'm not selling you something. I'm opening my heart to you.
Victor: By denying me sex?
Nicole: Don’t be so crass.
Nicole: Look, I am talking about love and romance. Okay, sure, I've been kind of cynical in the past, but I'm changing. You're looking at the upgraded version of me -- Nicole 8.0 -- which includes a special feature called tradition. Please go along with this. Please?
Victor: Fine. We'll wait until our wedding night.
Nicole: Thank you.
[Cellular phone rings]
Nicole: How did I get so lucky?
[Ring]
Nicole: Excuse me.
[Ring]
Nicole: Hello?
Colin: Nicole, it’s Colin. I got your message. I'm free now if you are -- my place.
Nicole: No problem. Be right there.
Victor: Who was that? Who are you so eager to see?
Celeste: Are you following me?
Caprice: No, Frankie, I'm not.
Celeste: Who are you? How do you know me? Look, why don’t we just go inside and talk, hmm?
Caprice: Why? For what? I don’t owe you any answers. Truth be told, you owe me.
Brandon: Do not drag Samantha into this.
Lexie: You are such a hypocrite, Brandon. You're always telling me what a terrible person Abe is, how he’s going to ruin my life. But you act like Sami Brady is mother Teresa, and she’s going to fill your life with endless happiness.
Brandon: Abe destroyed
family.
Lexie: You think Sami didn’t destroy hers? Ask Carrie, Austin, Lucas what that bitch is capable of. She’s a liar and a heartbreaker. You don’t seem to care. You know what? Why don’t you leave me and Abe alone and focus on your own screwed-up relationship?
Nicole: That was Connie at the house of blur. Richard’s new collection has come in, and she wants me to try them on.
Victor: Oh, I'll go with you.
Nicole: You can’t. There are some items that you're not allowed to see, something special for our wedding night. Tradition.
Victor: [Chuckles]
Nicole: Listen, I will see you later. I'll be home for dinner, okay?
Victor: I'll alert the cook.
Nicole: [Thinking] To hell with tradition. I'm definitely having sex before my wedding, Victor -- just not with you.
Larry: What do you say, Victor? Why don’t we start your holiday season off with a bang?
Mimi: Belle, I'm sorry. That came out wrong.
Belle: Mimi, why don’t you want Shawn and me to -- is there something I don’t know about Shawn?
Mimi: No! No, Shawn’s great. This is really embarrassing and stupid, but... since you're my best friend, I'm going to tell you and you have to promise not to laugh or think less of me.
Belle: Mimi, I couldn’t possibly think any less of you. And that’s not what I meant. I-I love you, Meems, and if you have to confess anything, just...out with it.
Mimi: Okay, um, well, remember when Kevin and I almost did it on the island, like, a jillion years ago? Well, part of the reason I was so tempted wasn’t just because of how hot Kevin looked with his shirt off or how much I liked him. It was also because I-I'd be doing it before you and I imagined telling you all about it and you looking up to me for a change instead of me always looking up to you. How lame is that?
Belle: Very.
Mimi: Yeah, well, anyway, that’s why I freaked, but if you and Shawn have talked about this and you think you're ready --
Belle: We are.
Mimi: And you're going to be safe --
Belle: I promise. Shawn and I -- we love each other, and now’s the right time. I know it is.
Rex: Caprice, are you okay?
Caprice: Uh, yeah, Rex, I'm fine. Oh, could you help me get the rest of the party supplies out of the car?
Rex: Yeah, no problem.
Caprice: Okay, great. Where’s your coat?
Shawn-D: Hey.
Cassie: Hi.
Shawn-D: Hey.
Cassie: I can’t remember my life before you, Shawn. But I know in my heart no one has taken care of me or cared about me as much as you.
Shawn-D: Okay. How many candles did I get? Everything’s going to be perfect tonight, Belle.
Sami: Oh, my God. It is Brandon’s baby. If he finds out about this, it’s all over. I can’t let that happen. He can never find out.
Colin: Ah, I thought you would never get here. Come in.
Nicole: Ooh...look at this. I had no idea you were into the holidays.
Colin: I'm not... but Jennifer is.
Nicole: Oh... poor Colin. Are you still pining after boring Jennifer Horton?
Colin: Oh, Jennifer is anything but boring.
Nicole: Yeah. She’s a thrill-a-minute, I'm sure.
Colin: At least I want to marry her for the right reasons.
Nicole: Are you insinuating that I am marrying Victor for the wrong ones, that I don’t love and adore the man? How insulting. Now get over here and apologize.
Colin: I'm sorry.
Nicole: Pathetic. I want a real apology. Colin
Nicole: Oh, Colin. Yes.
Colin: Oh, I love you, Jennifer.
Nicole: What did you just call me?
Colin: What?
Nicole: You just called me Jennifer, you jerk!
Colin: Wait! Nicole, it didn’t mean anything!
Nicole: Loser! Idiot! When I'm with a man, he better be thinking about me and only me! Damn it! I knew this was a mistake! I never want to see your lying face again, Colin Murphy. You can go to hell!
Colin: We don’t have to see each other again, Nicole. I have everything I need right here.
Lexie: Victor, your appreciation of what I've done for Bo and hope means a lot to me. I do care about them very much.
Celeste: Alexandra.
Lexie: Mom! What a nice surprise. Hi.
Celeste: Hi, darling.
Victor: Hello, Celeste.
Celeste: Hello, Victor. Congratulations on your upcoming nuptials.
Victor: Thank you. Please take my seat. I was just leaving.
Celeste: Oh, thank you very much.
Victor: Lexie.
Lexie: Goodbye, Victor.
Celeste: Well, darling.
Lexie: Mm-hmm?
Celeste: You know, I, um, was passing earlier... I happened to see you and Brandon through the window.
Lexie: Oh.
Celeste: Yeah. It looked like you were arguing.
Lexie: Hmm.
Celeste: Alexandra, when are you going to learn? Brandon is going to cause problems for you and Abraham.
Sami: Oh, I'm sorry I had to have your car towed, Eugenia, but I need time alone in the lab. All right. Now I just have to find Lexie’s file on the computer. Okay. Bingo. Okay. Now I just change a couple of these items, and bingo -- the father of Lexie’s baby will be Abe Carver.
Brandon: Hey, Brenda.
Brenda: Huh?
Brandon: Have you seen Samantha?
Brenda: Well, not recently, but she was headed for the lab earlier.
Brandon: Thanks.
Victor: Here’s the setup. I'm preparing papers that will implicate you as the mastermind behind the entire drug deal, and I am going to bribe the authorities and the judge who is going to sentence you to two years in prison. You'll be remanded to a country club prison where the most that will be asked of you is to improve your golf game.
Larry: You are asking me to give up two years of my life. Now, nothing is worth that.
Victor: Nothing?
Larry: You're damn right.
Victor: How about $5 million?
Larry: [Thinking] You owe me, Victor, but I'm going to pay you back.
Victor: What the --
["These are the special times" playing]
Oh, yeah yeah oh, yeah, yeah in these moments
Mimi: Hiya, Rex. How are the holidays treating you?
Rex: So far, so good.
Mimi: Are you aware that you are standing smack underneath the mistletoe?
You and I sharing this time
Rex: Does that mean something?
Mimi: Yeah. This.
Sharing the same dream as time goes by
Penny: Here, Philip. Have a snowflake for the raffle.
We will find these are the special times times we'll remember these are the precious times the tender times we'll hold in our hearts
forever
Mimi: It’s a tradition. See, you stand under the mistletoe, and then you kiss whatever lucky devil happens to be standing there with you.
Rex: Cool tradition.
Mimi: No argument from me.
Rex: Is, uh, is something wrong with Philip?
Mimi: I'm not sure. I'll be right back, okay?
Are the times I share with you mmm, yeah, yeah with each moment moment passing by we'll make memories
Shawn-D: So you're ready?
That will last our whole lives as you and I travel through time together oh, yeah
Victor: What, did you forget another tradition? What is it? Is everything all right?
Nicole: No. No, it’s just this whole idea of getting married is too much pressure. Just take me home, Victor.
Larry: I could've killed you and your fiancée right then and there, Victor. But where’s the fun in that? No, first, I'm going to make you suffer over the death of your son.
Celeste: So, I've, um, taken a suite at the Salem Inn, and I've begun looking for a condo near you and Abraham, so that once your baby arrives, darling, I can be as much help as possible.
Lexie: Oh...
Celeste: A real grandmother.
Lexie: Ah, yeah.
Lexie: Mom, what is it?
Celeste: Darling, I... I don’t want to alarm you --
Lexie: Just say it. What? You're sensing something. What is it?
Celeste: Your happiness with Abraham... it could be fleeting, darling. All too fleeting. Oh, I... you know, I need to, uh, splash a little cold water on my face. Excuse me.
Lexie: Oh, please, God, Abe has to be the father of my baby. He has to be.
Sami: Congratulations, Abe, you are now officially the father of your slut wife’s baby.
Brenda: Brandon, you're needed in pediatrics. They just called.
Brandon: Thank you.
Sami: Voil! Now no one will ever know the difference.
Colin: Sami! What are you doing in here? You don’t have authorization to be alone in the lab.
Sami: Actually, Eugenia just wanted me to help her with --
Colin: Oh, no, you don’t.
Sami: No, it’s not what you think, Colin. Just give me that --
Colin: I know exactly what you're up to, Sami.
Sami: Eugenia just wanted me to help her with some --
Colin: Save the excuses. I understand. You're doing what you have to do to hold onto your man. Your secret’s safe with me... as long as you play by my rules.
Colin: Hmm. Now you better get out of here before someone not quite so understanding catches you.
Colin: This is turning out to be a good day after all.
