Billy: Hey, Mr. Morrison. Here, let me give you a hand with that.

Morrison: Oh, thanks, Billy. I'm all thumbs before my morning coffee.

Billy: I thought the doctor said you weren't supposed to have any caffeine.

Morrison: I tried to give it up. I can't seem to shake the stuff.

Billy: Yeah, I know what you mean. Here's your key card. You have a good day, okay?

Morrison: Thank you.

Billy: All right.

Laura: Morning, Billy.

Billy: Morning, Laura. Hey, it's going to be a hot one our there today.

Laura: I got my shopping done early.

Billy: Ted, give me the good word.

Ted: Don't mess with Texas.

Billy: Oh, that's right, the Cubbies got Houston this week.

Ted: Yeah. Hey, they're home against the Reds on Tuesday. I've got an extra ticket.

Billy: Oh! No, I'm way too busy. Hey, no, I can't do nothing like that.

Billy: I think we could break ground on this project next week.

Charlotte: Can I get you anything else, sir?

Billy: Sir? Oh, no, no. I'm Billy. Billy Lewis, okay?

Charlotte: I'm Charlotte.

Billy: Good, Charlotte. Hey, you're taking great care of us. I really appreciate it. And just put this all on my tab, bring me the bill. Any questions?

Stan: I have one. You got a pen?

Billy: (Laughs) Here you go. Hey, I'm telling you, you're not going to regret signing on with Lewis Construction.

Stan: Looking forward to working with you.

Billy: Okay, yeah. Take care.

Wanda: Was that stern Stan Stein I just saw smiling?

Billy: It definitely was. And you know something, honey? You get a lot more flies with it than without it. (Laughter) Okay, what else we got on the list today?

Wanda: Well, you need to review those blueprints for the Brewster project.

Billy: Okay.

Wanda: Lunch back here later, and you've got that conference call with Troy Incorporated coming up. You've got that in... oh, in an hour.

Billy: In one hour, huh?

Wanda: Mm-hmm.

Billy: I'll... I'll tell you what-- I’ll meet you back at the office in an hour.

Wanda: Where you going?

Billy: I'm going to take care of some business, what do you think? Don't worry.

Any lovin's good lovin'

so I took what I could get...

Bartender: Hi, Billy.

Billy: Hey.

Bartender: Wasn't sure you were going to be in today.

Billy: Oh, I couldn't stay away from my best gal, now. Give me my usual, okay?

Baby, you ain't seen nothin' yet

here's something, here's something

here's something you never gonna forget, baby

baby, baby, baby, baby, you ain't seen n-n-nothin' yet

you ain't been around...

Bartender: You ever slow down?

Billy: No. I got too many people that are counting on me.

Four month’s ago...

Josh: Okay, you need to get all the files transferred to your office at Lewis, and that needs to happen as quickly as possible. And Wanda can probably help you with that. Are you listening to me at all, Billy?

Billy: This just isn't right, Josh.

Josh: Yeah, I know, but you asked me how you can help, okay? This is how you can help. I need to make sure that things keep moving forward.

Billy: You're moving just like nothing's happened. The world’s...

Josh: The world's not going to stop because I'm going to prison, okay? It's going to keep on spinning.

Billy: Yeah. Right.

Josh: So there are things, there are details... people that need to be taken care of.

Billy: Yes, okay. People, details. I got it.

Josh: The veterans at the H.B. Center. Make sure they continue to get the best care possible. And you need to stay in touch with Marah and Shayne, make sure they're doing okay, and see that they come here and they visit Reva as much as they possibly can.

Billy: Of course. I'll do it. I hate this, Josh.

Josh: Yeah, I know. I hate it, too. There's one more thing.

Billy: Yeah. What?

Josh: You have to keep an eye on Cassie and R.J. for me. Make sure they're... they're okay.

Billy: Of course I'll do that.

Josh: Cassie's going to fall in love again. Maybe not next year or two years from now or ten years from now, but it's going to happen...

Billy: Josh, wait...

Josh: Listen, okay? You have to listen to me because this is the most important thing. I need you to do this for me, okay? Cassie needs to know that it's okay for her to move on with her life, because I can't go with her. I know I'm asking a lot. Please.

Billy: Okay. Cassie, R.J., Marah, Shayne. The business, the veterans-- I'll take care of all of that. I can't get you out of jail, though. But I won't let you down, okay?

Officer Bennet: You get your stuff back when you post bail, all right? There you go. All right, now. Come on. Sorry about that commotion. They're drunks-- what can you do?

Billy: Yeah, yeah, yeah-- drunks.

Bartender: Listen, I wanted to ask you something. It's about this investment I heard about.

Billy: Well, I'm not really sure I can help you.

Bartender: More than anyone else in this hole can. You're a businessman, right? Successful.

Billy: Oh, yeah, that's me. Hey, hey. You ask anybody. (Laughs) Successful.

Three month’s ago...

Billy: Tell me, you didn't think I could do it, did you? Run the company while you were gone

Josh: (Laughs) Come on.

Billy: No, it's true.

Josh: I didn't doubt you for a second.

Billy: Well, I... I kind of did.

Josh: You want a cup of coffee?

Billy: Yes, please.

Josh: All right. Here's the thing. Who taught me everything I know about the business?

Billy: Um, H.B.? (Laughs)

Josh: (Laughs) Well, that's true, he did teach me a lot, but you taught me a lot, too. The point is... the point is, I knew you could do it.

Billy: Yeah. Well, you know, I wasn't so sure. It's been such a long time.

Josh: So what?

Billy: Oh, you know. Hey, people look at you, you walk into a room, they try and see what you're drinking, they want to know what's going on.

Josh: Yeah, but you proved yourself.

Billy: Yeah. Yeah, I guess I did, didn't I. Hey, now I can turn the company back over to you and you're fit as a fiddle and take up the reins.

Josh: I'm not going back to Lewis. Are you okay with this, big guy?

Billy: If you are. (Laughter)

I can't believe you're going to...

Josh: There's the man.

Billy: Yeah, well, where else would I be? Josh, um...

Josh: Yeah.

Billy: I'm going to do right by this family. I've made some mistakes, but it's over. I'm... I'm good now, I promise.

Bartender: Almost forgot to tell you. You know that Gail chick?

Billy: Gail... Gail?

Bartender: You know, tequila with a beer chaser.

Billy: Oh, yeah, yeah.

Bartender: She wanted to know your situation.

Billy: You're looking at it.

Two month’s ago...

Reva: Jeffrey's not my boyfriend.

Billy: Well, he's something. Something I'm not.

Reva: Billy, I thought we'd gotten past that.

Billy: Well, darling, if the truth be told, I'm always going to be jealous when I see you with another man. Is that okay?

Reva: Would you mind terribly if I said I was flattered?

Billy: I'd expect it. Now, can I have a kiss?

Reva: (Laughs)

Billy: Okay. Go ahead. Chase Jeffrey, but you be careful. Careful of Olivia. She's pretty tough when...

Reva: When she's cornered?

Billy: Yeah.

Reva: Yeah, I know that. But I can handle her, all right? And you know what, Billy? You are the best. Love you.

Billy: Love you, too. You know something, Reva? I've loved you for just about forever and I figured if it wasn't going to be Josh, it was going to be me. But Jeffrey? Want to give me a short one?

Bartender: You going back to the office?

Billy: Well, I closed a deal this morning and I can't rest on my laurels. I'm going to go back, close another one this afternoon, hopefully. Yeah. Okay. Tell you what, darling. Have yourself a good day, all right?

Bartender: Yup. You too, Billy.

Billy: Yeah.

Billy: Sweetheart. I warned you to take care of those.

Wanda: How did you do that?

Billy: Well, I am highly motivated, and I'm highly caffeinated.

Wanda: You are in a mood today.

Billy: Yeah, well, look, my boy's on the mend, I run the best company, I've got the best secretary, and we're ahead of schedule. I mean, I think life is good. (Laughter)

Wanda: Hey, I'll have what he's having.

Billy: Here, here. How you doing again?

Charlotte: Good morning.

Billy: Yeah.

Wanda: Thank you.

Billy: Thank you. Okay, yeah. Here, get me a little more, right here.

Wanda: Oh, sure.

Billy: Thank you. Good. Thanks. Oh. Hey, this is very dangerous. I think we better move these. What do you say? (Laughs) Mmm, coffee's excellent. Thank you. Okay. Lookin' good.

Wanda: Now, you wanted to check out the job site on Fifth. Oh, and you've got that 4:00 conference call. Oh, and the Brewer people have called again. "Has Mr. Lewis seen the plans for the... blueprint plans? Has he seen them yet? Has he looked at them yet?" That's all they want to know. I've laid them out on your desk.

Billy: Uh... tomorrow.

Wanda: But what about the conference?

Billy: I'M... I'm going to take off a little early today, okay?

Wanda: But you've got your 4:00 conference call.

Billy: Well... I'll look at the...

Daisy: Hey, Billy.

Billy: Hey, sweetheart. Hi.

Daisy: Have I ever told you that you are my most favorite grandpa ever? Ever.

Billy: Okay, what do you want? (Laughs)

Daisy: I come down here to... to play this message I got from Harley and Dylan, and that's how you talk to me?

Billy: You come way down here, but you're staying with Buzz. Oh, I get it. Okay, what did your other most favorite grandfather do, huh?

Daisy: It's a really nice message.

Billy: No, come on. Darling, what did he do?

Daisy: Buzz wants me to learn how to earn my keep, so he has me working a few hours every day in the storeroom. Not even the kitchen, the storeroom. So, maybe I could crash at your place, please? Pretty please?

Wanda: She's asking pretty please.

Billy: Darling, your mom wants you staying with Buzz. And if you want to really come up against some rough leather, all you have to do is go against your ma.

Daisy: All right. Well, can you at least give me a ride back to Company? I tried to catch you at your lunch meeting. I ran all the way here in these.

Billy: Tell you what. That... that, I can do. Yeah.

Wanda: They're so cute.

Daisy: Thanks, yeah. But they give me blisters.

Wanda: Oh, well, you know they've got that sticky tape that you can just put on to, you know, keep your...

Daisy: Yeah? You think that'll work with these?

Billy: You know, on second thought, Wanda, could you give her a ride home, please?

Wanda: Oh, yeah. Sure.

Billy: Um...

Wanda: Well, what about your 4:00?

Billy: I'm going to take off early today. Reschedule. And you... you can take off early, too, okay?

Wanda: It's my lucky day. Come on.

Daisy: Okay.

Billy: Uh, yeah. Okay.

(Knock on the door)

Billy: Yeah, just a minute. I'll be right there. Okay. Hey. Hey, Josh, how you doing?

Josh: Congratulations. I talked to Wanda. She tells me that Stan signed that contract this morning.

Billy: Yeah.

Josh: That's great.

Billy: Bet you didn't think I could do it, did you?

Josh: No, no, no, I know you could do it. In fact, I'm not sure that I could have done it.

Billy: Well, you gave me the reins to Lewis. You didn't want me to run it into the ground, did you?

Josh: I never thought you would. In fact, how would you feel about taking the reins on something else?

Billy: Oh, yeah? What?

Josh: I need someone to get me to the church on time. I want you to be my best man, Billy. I mean, I can't think of anybody else I'd rather have by my side when I marry Cassie.

Billy: You got me running the Lewis, I don't know if I could keep track of your rings. I've never been a best man that's very good anyway.

Josh: Well, I just thought... actually, no, I didn't think. I didn't have to think, because you're my brother. And you're the one that I want to be with me up there, and I just was hoping that you would want to be there with me, too.

Billy: Yeah, well, I mean, re-doing the entire water fountain, I don't think I'd be able to give you a five-star Oklahoma blow-out bachelor party like you need.

Josh: I don't need anything like that. I just don’t. I mean, this is not exactly the first time I'm doing this. I’m hoping it will be my last. But something small would be great.

Billy: I don't do things small. I mean, look at the waterfront. Josh, look, it's special, it's your day. I would hate myself if I just became an okay man and not a best man. What... what... what about Shayne or... you got close with Matt. I'll tell you what. After I do all of the traveling for this and you've done your honeymoon and everything's settled down after the holidays, I will throw you something special for you and Cassie, okay?

Josh: Okay. Do something later, that’s...

Billy: I'm... I'm flattered that you asked, though.

Josh: I understand. Say hi to Cassie and R.J. for me.

Josh: I will.

Billy: Yeah. Ooh, damn.

Reva: Hey, Billy. Where's the fire?

Billy: Oh, well, you can't believe... so much work.

Reva: Busy, huh?

Billy: Yeah, yeah. How about you? You okay?

Reva: Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.

Billy: Oh, really? Okay, well... what is it? Is it Jeffrey?

Reva: There are complications.

Billy: You told me you were going to keep it simple.

Reva: Yeah, well, that's what we were doing, and then one thing got caught up in another thing and then someone else got involved.

Billy: Ah, well, tell me, would this someone else have a name that began with "O" and sound like "Bolivia"?

Reva: It's not just her.

Billy: Yeah.

Reva: We were "no strings attached." We were, and it was easy. And I know Josh dumped me to have an easier relationship, and even though it's not the same thing, I can see the attraction there.

Billy: Well, it's never easy, especially if it looks easy. You just have to say you want out. I mean, that's what you did with me when you wanted to check out and have some space to see what life after Josh was like.

Reva: Ouch. (Laughs) I'm going to end it. There's just something about him. He's hard to walk away from.

Billy: Well, maybe you should run.

Reva: (Laughs) Yeah. Yeah, we both know how good running away from our problems always turns out, huh? (Cell phone ringing)

Reva: Oh, that's mine. (Sighs) Speak of the devil. Jeffrey? Hey. Uh, I was just talking, um... about you behind your back.

Bartender: Hey. Somebody must have closed another big deal.

Billy: You bet you my life.

Bartender: A lot of that going around.

Lizzie: So we're good?

Farley: She is all yours.

Lizzie: Hey, everybody! I am Elizabeth Spaulding and I am the new proprietor of this fine establishment, so to welcome you to Lizzie’s bar, the next round's on me. (Cheering) So, that means draw a free drink for you and a free drink for you and a free drink for you and a... Yeah, the next round's on me.

Billy: Yeah. Yeah, I heard that. As a matter of fact, I think everybody heard. Thank you.

Lizzie: Yeah. What can I get you?

Billy: I'm okay.

Lizzie: But when you're ready.

Billy: Soda.

Lizzie: What kind?

Billy: This kind.

Lizzie: That kind. Fantastic.

Billy: Well, see, I got good old boys for customers, I got to keep up appearances.

Lizzie: So, this is... this is a prop drink? You don't actually drink it.

Billy: Something like that.

Lizzie: And the investors? I mean, can you see them right now or are they invisible?

Billy: Look, little miss smarty pants, I'm not drunk.

Lizzie: I'm just checking because your soda smells like bourbon.

Billy: Well, that's because it is bourbon. Remember, I told you...

Lizzie: Right, it’s... it's a prop drink.

Billy: That's right.

Lizzie: Right.

Billy: And I am... "on the wagon."

Lizzie: I don't care.

Billy: Good.

Lizzie: Actually, I do care. I care... I care about myself and I care about my brand-new bar, and I would like you to not pass out in it.

Billy: Sweetie, I'm not drunk...

Lizzie: Or start a bar fight. And if you have to puke, maybe you could do it in the toilet, because seriously, Billy, seriously, I have enough problems. And buying this bar, it's been a highlight to a very bad day. And drinking in it might be the highlight to yours, and that's fine, I don't care. Just don't screw this up for me, okay? Did you hear that? Next round's on me. Hope you're having a good time.

Jake: I'm having a great time. I could be having a better time.

Lizzie: Oh, well, I do want to keep my customers happy.

Bartender: What is she doing?

Billy: She's about to get herself in a lot of trouble. Hey, Lizzie, I'll take that free drink now.

Lizzie: Okay, just tell the bartender.

Billy: No, I'm telling you.

Lizzie: I'm sorry...

Jake: Jake.

Lizzie: Yeah. Right. Okay. Well, I'll... I'll be right back, Jake.

Billy: Okay, okay, just take it easy. That's it, okay, take it easy. Good, good, good.

Lizzie: I told you not to give me any trouble.

Billy: Yeah, well, against my better judgment, I am trying to keep you out of some trouble.

Lizzie: Oh, your better judgment? Yeah, okay. Not good. What were we talking about? Oh, customer service, right? (Laughs)

Bartender: Oh, boy.

Billy: What's she doing?

Bartender: In another minute? Jake.

Billy: Lizzie. Hey, lizard!

Lizzie: Okay, do you know where the Beacon hotel is?

Jake: Yeah.

Lizzie: Lobby, ten minutes. What do you want, Billy? Do you need change so you can call Josh?

Billy: Darling, what do you think you're doing in here?

Lizzie: I'm doing whatever I want, from now on.

Billy: Do you even know this guy?

Lizzie: We go all the way back to yesterday.

Billy: Okay, well, I used to run a bar and I just wanted to...

Lizzie: Okay, well, you know something? Whatever you're going to say, it doesn't matter, okay? Because you don't run a bar anymore, because Jonathan is dead. I didn't lecture you, so just give me the same respect. Just close up for me later?

Rick: Hey, Billy.

Billy: Hey.

Rick: Going to the meeting?

Billy: No, no, actually, I came here to get Dylan’s records transferred to the rehabilitation center, yeah.

Rick: You're kidding? They didn't take care of that for you?

Billy: No, but, hey, you don't have to do it.

Rick: No, no, it'll just take a second. No, I got a few minutes before this thing starts. So, how's he doing?

Billy: Oh, he's doing great, you know. He’s... he's recovering, yeah. Better and better.

Rick: You know, it's never easy when your kid gets hurt.

Billy: Oh, no, no. But, yeah, he's going to recover fine. And I've got all this work to do. It keeps me just busy as heck. It keeps my mind off of, you know, things.

Rick: They've been sent.

Billy: They were?

Rick: Yeah, Dylan’s records have already been sent.

Billy: What do you know? Well, thanks. Yeah.

Rick: Listen, are you sure you don't want to go?

Billy: No, I'm way too busy, thanks.

Rick: Okay. All right, see you later.

Billy: Hey, Dylan, it's your dad. Daisy told me you called, so I missed your call, but we're okay and she's okay and we're just wondering about you. So give me a call when you get a chance. Love you. (Knock at door) Just a minute. Hey. Hi, Cassie.

Cassie: Hey, everything okay?

Billy: Oh, don't come too close. I'm just... I'm coming down with something.

Cassie: Oh.

Billy: Yeah, I'm...

Cassie: I'm sorry. Well, I won't stay long.

Billy: Well, you sure you don't want to have breakfast tomorrow or something?

Cassie: It's kind of important.

Billy: Okay.

Cassie: But Josh didn't tell me you were sick.

Billy: Well, you know, I'm just kind of getting sick right now, so...

Cassie: He just... he just told me that you talked.

Billy: Yeah. Well, look, I will do something totally about you guys, for you guys, you know, after... after the holidays.

Cassie: Are you sure you don't want me to drive you to the doctor?

Billy: No, no, I can drive to the doctor if I need to go to the doctor.

Cassie: No, I mean, but because I'm right here. Or why don't I call Josh?

Billy: No! Don't call Josh. Cassie, I wasn't really expecting anybody, and it's bad enough you're here-- the place is so messy...

Cassie: You're not fooling anyone. Faking a cold isn't going to get me out of here. We need to talk about the wedding, Billy, sooner or later.

Billy: The wedding?

Cassie: I understand why you told Josh no. You don't want to take sides and hurt Reva, but I talked to her after you told her the news, and she's really okay with it.

Billy: She said that, did she?

Cassie: Josh just wants you there. Okay? You can forget about the parties or the traditions. He just wants you to stand by him on his wedding day. He loves you. He looks up to you. And no, he doesn't know that I'm here.

Billy: Okay, I'll square it with Reva. How's that?

Cassie: Thank you.

Billy: You know, I really am coming down with something, okay?

Cassie: Finally, this family can get together for something hopeful, and I think that’s... I think that's worth all the awkwardness in the world. And at least we have each other; some people have no one.

Billy: Yeah. Lizzie. Lizzie. Hey, Lizzie Spaulding, are you on this floor? Lizzie! Lizzie. I heard you down at this end of the hall. Lizzie. Liz... hey! Lizzie.

Lizzie: What the hell are you doing?! What...?!

Billy: What's he doing?

Lizzie: Hey, what are you doing?

Jake: Hey, dude, did my dealer send you with the stuff?

Billy: Your dealer? His dealer?

Lizzie: Okay. Okay, okay, okay. I don't do drugs. Okay, just get out. Get out.

Billy: Look, you don't have anybody, okay?

Lizzie: Yeah! I have Jacob.

Jake: It's Jake, babe.

Billy: Oh, well, you dropped this. Yeah, I was watching. And you, I'd like you to leave. She’s... the little girl is having problems...

Lizzie: Okay, you know something? Billy, just shut up.

Billy: And she's got a lot of trouble right now...

Lizzie: Shut up.

Billy: And I don't want you taking advantage of her.

Lizzie: Okay, this is under control!

Jake: That's what she likes.

Lizzie: Hey!

Billy: Come on. All right, hang on. Let's go, let's go.

Lizzie: Billy!

Billy: Come on, hey!

Lizzie: You are not my father, by the way!

Billy: You know, I knew you couldn't handle that guy before. I saw it in the bar.

Lizzie: Okay, I totally had that under control!

Billy: Darling, I should have stopped this early.

Lizzie: Oh, what, like a good drunk would have?

Billy: No. Because he's not Jonathan and he ain't never going to be.

Lizzie: You know, I was letting you do your own thing. Why can't you just leave me alone?

Billy: Because being alone sucks. You know it, I know it.

Lizzie: Well, wow. If I knew getting smashed made people so wise and considerate, I would have started spiking my family's punch bowl years ago.

Billy: You've got to stop being a little know-it-all brat and listen.

Lizzie: Here. Drink it.

Billy: Yeah, all right.

Lizzie: I know that being alone sucks, Billy. That's why I invited the guy over in the first place, okay? I just wanted someone to... oh, hang out with tonight.

Billy: Look, what's gotten into you? I mean, you have a bad day, so you buy a bar? You miss Jonathan, so you throw away your ring and you bring a creep home?

Lizzie: Yes.

Billy: Okay, now... now we're getting somewhere.

Lizzie: So, what about you, huh? What, you have a bad day and throw your sobriety completely out the window?

Billy: I threw it out a long time ago. Oh, now, I've got to leave. I can't handle him right now.

Lizzie: Whoa! Whoa, okay. I swear. I know what you're thinking, okay, but I wasn't going to go into the baby store.

Josh: Lizzie, I didn't even see...

Lizzie: Well, you don't have to lie, okay? I'm sure that that's, like, against the minister rule handbook thing.

Josh: I'm not lying. Are you okay? Do you want to talk about something or...?

Lizzie: No, no, no. No. I... I've been doing really well with all the stuff that... that we talked about. You know, letting go of the baby stuff and... and Sarah just... thank you so much. Thank you.

Josh: Oh.

Lizzie: Thank you.

Josh: Okay, I...

Lizzie: Okay, have a good night, okay? Just have a good night.

Josh: Okay. If you want to talk, call me.

Lizzie: Okay. All right. I couldn't handle the Jake guy before, okay? We're even.

Billy: Hey, um... it's usually not... not that difficult.

Lizzie: What, the drinking?

Billy: No, the drinking's always a problem. It's always difficult. I'm just talking about hiding the drinking. I mean, business going good, nobody knows, so... don't get me wrong here, I'm not in denial. I know I drink, okay? Hey, how about I walk you home, okay?

Lizzie: I think I should walk you home.

Billy: I don't need anybody to walk me home.

Lizzie: Call it customer service.

Billy: Look, I don't think that guy's going to come back.

Lizzie: Jake?

Billy: Yeah.

Lizzie: No, I'm not worried.

Billy: Oh. All right. Well, have a good night, then, okay?

Lizzie: Billy? I know that you're not my dad, but, I mean, you are a dad.

Billy: You need something, darling?

Lizzie: I don’t... I don't want to go home yet.

Billy: Well, I don't feel much like going back, either. You hungry?

Lizzie: I could eat.

Billy: Let's go.

Lizzie: I even wore a power suit so that he'd take me seriously.

Billy: No dice?

Lizzie: Yeah, no. I had to buy the bar. My own grandfather won't give me a job in the family business. Who's going to hire me?

Billy: You know, people didn't take my Melinda Sue very seriously, but she's a big success. Do not, under any circumstances, let Alan Spaulding hold you back.

Lizzie: So I should invest in Lewis?

Billy: (Laughs) Where did you come up with that?

Lizzie: Well, you know, I... I said that if my granddad's not going to hire me, then who is? And you said, "Don't hold them back," so that's like a job offer, right?

Billy: (Laughs) I like the way you think.

Lizzie: Seriously, think about how cool it would be, okay? You could mentor me, which you've already started to do at the bar and the vendors and all that stuff, and I really want to learn.

Billy: Hey, Alan’s gonna be really P.O.'ed.

Lizzie: Oh, yes. Yes, exactly.

Billy: Well, there is a side benefit.

Lizzie: (Laughs) I'm hired!

Billy: All right. Well, you know, I do like pushy girls. (Laughter) Okay. Now, let’s... let's get some ground rules here.

Lizzie: Okay, okay, sure.

Billy: First... no more impulse buying.

Lizzie: Power suit?

Billy: No, I'm telling you-- the bar.

Lizzie: Oh!

Billy: You could max out an expense account in an afternoon.

Lizzie: Will I get my own expense account?

Billy: I didn't say you were going to get your own expense... okay, rule two, rule two. This is important. You can't judge me.

Lizzie: Trust me, I... I'm not someone to judge.

Billy: All right, rule three, and this is easy. No talking about Josh, no talking about Reva, no talking about Josh and Reva.

Lizzie: Okay, okay, I got that one.

Billy: And rule four. You heard the story about you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink?

Lizzie: Okay, okay, it was a suggestion, just a suggestion.

Billy: Listen, I'm going to drink occasionally.

Lizzie: Occasionally?

Billy: Mm-hmm. I don't want anybody to know. And this is a deal breaker, okay?

Lizzie: I'm going to take your keys if I think you can't drive.

Billy: I wouldn't expect any less. Deal?

Lizzie: Okay. Wait, first, my rules...

Billy: Wait a minute, I'm the boss here. I'm the one that gets the rules.

Lizzie: No, no, no. Don't judge me either, okay? And don't talk down to me. I hate that.

Billy: All right, that's good.

Lizzie: That’s... that's one and two.

Billy: Okay.

Lizzie: And rule three. I'm going to have bad days, so just let me have them, okay? Don’t... don't try to cheer me up or lecture me about letting go of Jonathan and Sarah and how time heals all wounds or just any of that crap. Just don't do that.

Billy: You won't hear one "blah, blah, blah" out of me, okay?

Lizzie: Okay.

Billy: All right.

Lizzie: Okay, rule number four.

Billy: Four. Wait a minute, you only get three rules.

Lizzie: Okay, okay, no, that's totally fine. I mean, I was just going to ask, you know, that no one park in my parking space.

Billy: What makes you think I'm going to give you a parking space?

Lizzie: Or you could just... you could walk home when I take your keys away from you.

Billy: Very good. Very good. (Laughs) Okay. What do we drink to?

Lizzie: Um... fresh starts and new beginnings?

Billy: Oh, darling. I'm not new and I sure as hell ain't fresh. (Laughs)

Lizzie: Um... I've got it. To being fine.

Billy: Oh, I like that. Thank you. To being fine.

Next, on "Guiding Light..."

Cassie: Imagine Olivia, if Reva shows up with Jeffrey on her arm.

Olivia: Oh, a good pop in the sack, that helps to ease the transition?

Reva: Yeah, something like that.

Coop: Wow, this is starting to suddenly sound a lot more like a...

Ashlee: A what?

Coop: Like, well, a date.

Ashlee: And what the hell is wrong with that?

Olivia: It's time for you to stop being so okay and start milking it.

Josh: I do not want you to walk away, but I don't think I can stop you.
