Shayne: Are you the new nurse?

Dinah: I am Dinah Marler.

Military officer: You can't keep crashing here if you're refusing treatment.

Reva: What about life itself? I guess it takes almost losing it to make you realize how important it is to hang on to it. I'm going to do the chemo.

Military officer: Do me a favor, don't ever try to become real soldier.

Shayne: I think I'm a natural. Shayne Lewis reporting for duty, sir!

Mallet: Yeah. Hi, good morning.

Josh: Hi, good morning. Is it morning?

Marina: Yes.

Josh: Could this not have waited until, I don't know, maybe dawn?

Marina: Oh, no, no, no. We had to do this before my mother got out of bed.

Mallet: Yeah. She's still on L.A. time.

Marina: Yeah.

Josh: Well, that certainly explains that.

Mallet: Yeah, so we are going to ask you to something, but first we have to swear you to secrecy. Now, you left the church, but you're still ordained, right?

Josh: Yeah. What are you looking for?

Marina: I just wanted to make sure that this is Cooper-free zone.

Josh: Really?

Mallet: Yeah. See, we were going to ask you if you would, um... marry us in a very private ceremony.

Marina: Yes, very private. Just the two of us at our house tomorrow.

Josh: No family, no friends. Just... you do realize you need a witness, right?

Marina: That's fine. That's fine. Whoever. Just not anyone from my family. I mean, they mean well, but they can be really pushy. And I'm afraid if they find out about this wedding, they're going to completely take over.

Mallet: So what do you think, can you help us, or has the Cooper mafia gotten to you?

Josh: What did you bring me?

Marina: Cranberry muffin.

Josh: Okay. I'll help you. I'd be honored. Give me the muffin.

Marina: And a latte.

Josh: And a latte.

Dinah: Excuse me, soldier. I'm looking for a Sergeant Jack Randolph.

Randolph: Really?

Dinah: Yeah. He dropped his watch. I'm trying to give it back to him.

Randolph: I'm Sergeant Randolph, and that's not my watch.

Dinah: Well then who is that other cranky guy in the wheelchair?

Randolph: Which one?

Reva: Oh, right here. Oh, look at this one. This is it. This is the one.

Jeffrey: So we're going to do like a Charlie Brown Christmas?

Reva: Well, what can I say. I like rescuing things.

Jeffrey: You know what? Let's make this day our Christmas tree finding day. Every year we'll celebrate it, "our Christmas tree finding day."

Reva: I like that! We have a family tradition!

Jeffrey: But let's not stop at one, okay? Let's get one for every room in the house. We can get small ones, we can get big ones, fat ones, skinny ones.

Reva: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. This is just not like you at all. It's just so over the top.

Jeffrey: I'm going to put so many lights on them, they'll be able to see us from space!

Reva: (Laughs) Are you listening to this? Are you taking notes, little one? You're daddy's gone crazy. And I am crazy about him. Mmm.

Jeffrey: All right. That's settled. So... you ready?

Reva: Yeah. Yeah. As long as they know this is my tree.

Lillian: You know afterwards there are going to be some repercussions, and you might have a little hair loss, nausea.

Reva: I, I know the drill.

Lillian: Yeah, but did you know that for women who are pregnant going through chemo, there are a lot less side effects than non-pregnant women?

Jeffrey: Why is that? I think it has something to do with the baby wanting to make Mommy happy. You okay?

Reva: Yeah.

Lillian: I'm going to go get the I.V.

Reva: Okay.

Jeffrey: Okay. I'll get some water.

Reva: What is all of this?

Jeffrey: Well, do you take your sweater off or your shoes?

Reva: I'm okay.

Jeffrey: I want you to know that kid is doing more for you right now than I am. So I can't be shown up by my own kid, right?

Reva: It's okay.

Jeffrey: Let me get you something else to eat.

Reva: No, really, stop treating me like I'm an invalid.

Jeffrey: Some ice cream, I'll get you some ice cream.

Reva: No

Jeffrey: Okay? I never felt so useless in my entire life.

Reva: Okay. The first time I went through this, Billy was with me. He went and found me an MP3 player. It seemed that country music about broken hearts and trashed trucks seemed to make the time go faster.

Jeffrey: Okay. One radio coming up.

Reva: There you go. Thanks.

Lillian: Here we go.

Reva: Ouch! Hey, hey, what are you still doing here? Go find me some music, handsome.

Jeffrey: Take care of her, all right?

Lillian: Yeah, of course I will.

Reva: I'm in good hands.

Jeffrey: I'll be right back with the supplies.

Dinah: I just met Sergeant Randolph outside. You two could be twins.

Shayne: Hmmm. Anyway, you read the name on the chart. So, are we done?

Dinah: Are you even a soldier?

Shayne: I'm, I'm nobody.

Dinah: What's your real name? I'd like to know.

Shayne: Travis. Travis Bickle.

Dinah: Now, see that isn't so hard. Nice to meet you, Travis. So if you're not a soldier, then why are you here? How were you injured?

Shayne: Are you always this nosey?

Dinah: I'm curious about you. That's all.

Shayne: I don't know you why you decided to make me your project, but I'm not interested. And if you're waiting for a reward for returning my watch, well, you're out of luck.

Dinah: Maybe I can help you with something. Where are you from? Where is your family?

Shayne: Take the hint. Don't use me to make yourself feel like a better person.

Dinah: That's not what I'm doing.

Shayne: Yeah, that is what you're doing. And if your own life is so screwed up, then go deal with that! All right? Stay the hell out of mine!

Dinah: You're a self-indulgent jerk, and I don't know why bothered.

Shayne: Well, that makes two of us.

Eleni: Hey.

Marina: Good morning.

Eleni: You're up early.

Marina: Well, you know me. I love to clean.

Eleni: No, no, I don't remember that. Your room at home looked like a stuffed animal factory exploded inside of it.

Marina: Oh, give me a break. I was like ten. (Laughs)

Eleni: So, what do you want? Scrambled eggs with crispy bacon? French toast? What is it?

Marina: Scrambled eggs with bacon.

Eleni: See, you are still my little girl. (Laughs) This is fun, some girl time together. This is nice. Tell me, you and Mallet. You ah, what, similar interests outside of work?

Marina: Well, what do you mean?

Eleni: Well, you know, he's older than you and he may want different things than you. I used to know him really well, but it's was a long time ago.

Marina: That's real subtle, Mom.

Eleni: I'm sorry. Jet lag.

Marina: Look age has nothing to do with anything. I have just as much baggage as he does.

Eleni: But Mallet's been married a couple of times.

Marina: (Laughs) Oh, please. Do I really need to list my entire long list of bad relationships? Okay, where do I start.

Eleni: What about Shayne? He was a nice kid.

Marina: Oh, please, Mom, that was like a million years ago. We were kids. Besides, he left, and I finally found someone else.

Eleni: Mallet is great. I can't deny that.

Marina: But? Oh, come on. You know you want to say it.

Eleni: It's just that a lot goes into making a life with someone. Just ask me and your dad.

Marina: You and dad's marriage didn't last because you freaked out. Remember? It didn't have anything to do with age or similar interests or baggage.

Eleni: Well, maybe that's why I'm asking all of these questions. Because I know how hard it is to have a good relationship.

Marina: Mallet's a really great guy, Mom, and I'm grabbing him.

Eleni: Sweetie, what's the rush? Have you made wedding plans?

Marina: No.

Eleni: You have.

Marina: No, no! I just want you to be happy for me.

Eleni: And I want you to be sure before you head to the altar.

Mallet: Hello?

Dinah: Surprise.

Mallet: Wow, Dinah! Wow! I didn't think I would hear from you again.

Dinah: Are you glad you did?

Reva: You know I really wanted your first memories... to be your daddy's voice. And the warmth of my hand when I touch you. Not this. You are the most unexpected surprise in a life filled with them. What's funny is that there you are sitting right there inside me, but we really don't know much about each other yet. So, let's see. What can I tell you about your mama. I've always been a bit of a hell-raiser and a little bit crazy, but fun, fun crazy. Not everyone's vote for mother of the year, that's for sure. All you have to do is ask your brothers and sister about that on! But I swear to you, this time it's going to be different. I'm sorry I'm sick. I guess you don't deserve that. But I promise you one thing, I'm a fighter. And you're going to have to be a fighter, too, because we're in this together, little one. And in a fight like this, there's no one you'd rather have on your side than me.

Jeffrey: Blanket, cold. Blanket, blanket. Perfect, yes. Please, just let them be all right. Please, just let them be all right. If there are anymore bad things coming our way, just lay them on me, okay? Because... I'll take whatever you've got. But, please, please, let them both be all right.

Cyrus: Drinking alone so early in the morning? It's not like you, Detective.

Marina: It figures you would be here. I wasn't actually going to drink it. I don't know. It seemed like the thing that people do.

Cyrus: Well, what's the occasion? Did you catch your 100th criminal?

Marina: I'm getting married tomorrow.

Cyrus: I see. Cold feet?

Marina: No. No, no, no, no. Nothing like that. It's just... yeah, you know what? I think I am.

Mallet: Well, yeah, because I was worried about you. You took off so suddenly, where are you?

Dinah: You'll never guess.

Mallet: You're in a ritzy spa, wrapped in honey and seaweed?

Dinah: No. I am outside a U.S. military hospital in Germany.

Mallet: Wow, I didn't see that one coming.

Dinah: Yeah. I'm helping out others who are less fortunate this Thanksgiving. Doing the whole good-deed thing.

Mallet: Oh, yeah. How is that going?

Dinah: Oh, it's a giant bust. Which is why I need a favor.

Mallet: The last time you asked me for a favor, I went tromping through the woods with a suitcase full of ransom money.

Dinah: This is easy. There is this guy...

Mallet: Okay. Good.

Dinah: No! Not a guy in that way. I'm not interested. He is a wounded civilian that is stuck in this hospital. And he is in pretty bad shape. You know, you can see it in his eyes. You know. And I'm thinking maybe there is a way I can help him. You know? Maybe you could look him up and see where he’s from, how he was injured, that way I could help him out somehow

Mallet: Well, sure, what’s his name?

Dinah: Travis Bickle, do you want me to spell it for you?

Mallet: No, that’s okay. Travis Bickle, you know that’s De Niro's character in Taxi Driver, I think that this guy is messing with you.

Dinah: You know what, this is what I get for helping somebody out.

Mallet: Have you talked to your brother?

Dinah: Is he okay, is he out of the hospital?

Mallet: I don’t know all of the details, I thought you might’ve heard something.

Dinah: No, no. I’ve been worried, but thank God he’s okay.

Mallet: I mean sort of, not really. You know, there is a police investigation. Your brother has been indicted on kidnapping charges.

Dinah: What?

Mallet: Yeah. You know, Dinah, all of the evidence points to him. I'm sorry that I had to be the one to tell you that. Are you still there? The connection is kind of bad. Are you still there?

Dinah: Yeah, yeah. No, I'm here. I'm here.

Eleni: Okay, fess up. I couldn't get it out of Marina, but you brought me here for a wedding, didn't you?

Dinah: Are you getting married?

Mallet: Ah, I would have told you that before you took off, but you left so suddenly. We weren't going to tell anybody, but, yes, I would have told you because I, of course, wouldn't have told you over the phone like this. Because it's not right.

Dinah: You know what, the connection is bad. I'm sure I'll speak to you soon. Bye.

(Cell phone rings)

Reva: Hmmm. Hello?

Shayne: Hey, Mom, what's new?

Reva: Shayne, is it really you?

Shayne: Yeah, of course it's me, Mom.

Reva: Oh, Shayne. I miss you so much.

Reva: It's so good to hear your voice.

Shayne: Same here. So what are you up to? Anything fun?

Reva: Ah... I'm, um... I'm Christmas shopping. You?

Shayne: I'm in this great hotel room in Germany, on the river. Taking a weekend off.

Reva: Germany? Wow!

Shayne: I, um, wanted to help some more, so I joined another team. It's such... rewarding work.

Reva: You're being careful, right?

Shayne: Always. I'm a big hero over here now. They're probably going to throw me a parade.

Reva: Shayne, are you okay?

Shayne: Yeah. I'm never better.

Reva: You know I think about you every day. Especially since I got pregnant. You were such a good baby.

Shayne: How's that going with the pregnancy?

Reva: It's, it's good, but all I want for Christmas is to have you home so that you can meet your little baby brother.

Shayne: Brother?

Reva: Yeah, Reva Shayne and her boys. I think Marah was kind of hoping I was going to have a girl.

Shayne: I think Marah is very happy being the only daughter of Reva Shayne.

Reva: I just want to hug you, you know? Really, really hard!

Shayne: Listen, some of the guys are here, and we're going out on the town.

Reva: Oh, sure, go. Go, go, go. Please, go. Have fun. Go out dancing. You know, just live every moment of your life, Shayne. I love you, baby.

Shayne: Same here.

Marina: I don't know Cyrus, I've screwed up so much. I just don't want to do it again.

Cyrus: Come on, don't be so hard on yourself.

Marina: No. I do. I do. I always jump into a relationship heart first, and, and it's because it feels so right. So right at the time. And then, and then for some reason, I don't know why, it just all seems to go so horribly wrong.

Cyrus: And you couldn't possibly be talking about us, could you? Because...

Marina: Please. I met you, I cuffed you, and it was practically downhill from there.

Cyrus: There were some really spectacular moments. But that doesn't change the fact that maybe I was the wrong guy at the wrong time.

Marina: Yeah. Maybe you were the worst.

Cyrus: Well, from what I hear, most of the other guys were pretty much the same.

Marina: Sometimes it's just so confusing.

Cyrus: It doesn't have to be.

Mallet: You know, Marina decided that she wanted this wedding to be just the two of us. And, um... I'm so sorry for bringing you all the way out here.

Eleni: Oh, no, no, no. That's okay. I mean, it's Marina's call. Look, I've been out of her day to day life for so long, I'm not about to tell her how to run her life now, so...

Mallet: Hey, you could give me some advice.

Eleni: Oh, it's beautiful!

Mallet: Thank you.

Eleni: And I wish you and Marina a really long, happy life together, and full of every blessing. I really do.

Mallet: Thank you. That means a lot to me.

Eleni: And, you know, children are one of the greatest blessings. Look, maybe something's changed since your accident and...

Mallet: No, nothing has really changed. I can't father a child, but I can be a father to a child. And hopefully I can be a good one.

Eleni: Marina has always wanted children. Have you talked about this?

Mallet: Not since we decided to get married.

Eleni: Mallet, you guys have to resolve this. This is one of those issues that can really hurt a marriage. On that note, I'm off to see Frank.

Mallet: Okay.

Eleni: I won't say a word about the wedding. I promise.

Mallet: Thank you.

Dinah: Come on, Grady. Why in the hell is Bill being blamed for the kidnapping? What did you do? Hello. Yes. Is this the operator? Do you speak English? I need a number in Springfield, Illinois. It's in the states. No, don't disconnect me, please. No. Come on.

Shayne: You're pretty dangerous with that phone there.

Dinah: Well, Travis Bickle, what's your problem?

Shayne: I was trying to get you to shut up.

Dinah: You know, maybe you wouldn't be so miserable if you just got some help, you know. Maybe talk to someone.

Shayne: Well, let's see. I'm talking to you right now, and, no, I'm still miserable.

Dinah: You know what, I'm fed up with the whole bitter guy crap.

Shayne: Bye.

Dinah: You know what? We all have screwed up. But the rest of us don't lie around and feel sorry for ourselves, or get ourselves half killed in a bar fight, okay? See you later, Taxi Driver.

Shayne: Landmine.

Dinah: What?

Shayne: I was helping clear landmines out of a field where kids play soccer. You know, it was a beautiful day. It was a lot like this, I mean, clear skies, sun in my face. It's one of those moments that doesn't come around too often. Where everything in my life just felt right. And then, boom! I never even saw it coming.

Dinah: I'm sorry.

Shayne: It wasn't a direct hit, but I had a previous spinal injury, so I was air lifted here. I survived. Lucky me, huh?

Dinah: It must not be very easy to talk about.

Shayne: I'm going to go now. The show is over.

Dinah: You know, really, you shouldn't be going through this alone. Where is your family? Do you have someone in your life?

Shayne: There was a girl. But she's gone.

Marina: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. What's going on here? What are you doing? There is always an angle with you? You need money?

Cyrus: No, no. In fact, the drinks are on me.

Marina: What the hell? What are you trying to do? Are you trying to torture me with old memories?

Cyrus: I was trying to prove a point. Jumping in is what you did with me. Dating a criminal, running off to live in France. Giving up what you love, your job, your family.

Marina: I can't believe I was ever that girl.

Cyrus: You're not. You're not that girl. You're the kind of girl that marries a decent guy, one of your best friends. I see you living in that house for a long time, working together, building a family, and just being happy. And that's what I want for you.

Marina: Thank you. I've got to go.

Dinah: Sorry for going off on you earlier, like that.

Shayne: So what happened to you? What's your problem? Lose your boyfriend? Your job?

Dinah: No. I don't think you want to know.

Shayne: Yeah, I do. Come on, why not? Let's share battle scars.

Dinah: (Laughs) Since I'll probably never see you again. What the hell. Right? I was an accomplice in a kidnapping. My brother's girlfriend.

Shayne: Well, you've got my attention now.

Dinah: Well, it's not like I am a professional kidnapper. I didn’t plan it. But I didn't stop it, either. And then my brother got into an accident trying to escape. Bad one.

Shayne: So what happened? Is he okay?

Dinah: He was in a coma, and I left town. I left town rather than give him anymore pain. But he's awake now. Thank God. And, you know, this was supposed to be a new start for him, but somehow the police are now blaming him for the crime.

Shayne: Wow. I'm glad I'm sitting down.

Dinah: No, it gets worse. It does get worse. My ex, A.C. Mallet, who I have loved forever, he's getting married tomorrow, which means I know that it's finally over between the two of us, and he is going to have someone else to be his wife. You know, it's his buddy, his cop partner. Ever so chippy. Chip, chip Marina Cooper. So, I'm sorry about your scars, but I tell you, right now I feel like I’ve stepped on a landmine myself.

Mallet: I wanted you to have flowers for your wedding, but so far I think the roses are winning. What is that for?

Marina: Cyrus kissed me today. And it was the best thing that ever could have happened.

Mallet: Because?

Marina: Because it just made me absolutely sure that marrying you is the best thing that I could ever do.

Mallet: Um... maybe we should re-think things. I mean, are you sure about that?

Marina: No, no, no babe. It was a stupid kiss.

Mallet: You know, maybe, maybe we should have a talk.

Marina: Wow! Those are like four of the worst words in the English language.

Mallet: We have to have that conversation. We keep avoiding it. I keep skating around it. And I can't do that anymore because in less than 24 hours, we're official.

Marina: What is it?

Mallet: I can't have kids. Are you sure you're going to be okay with that?

Jeffrey: Hi

Reva: Hi.

Jeffrey: Sorry I'm late. You know, I kept finding more and more things to bring over here.

Reva: What have you got there?

Jeffrey: Well, then I tried to take a short cut, here is your favorite blanket-- and, of course, I got caught in traffic. And I almost ditched the car and just come walking over here. Your favorite book.

Reva: You know what? It does get easier.

Jeffrey: I should be saying that to you.

Reva: Did you... find a radio?

Jeffrey: Um, no, but I got this.

Reva: You are crazy. You can't play that in here.

Jeffrey: So what do you want to hear?

Reva: A lullaby.

Jeffrey: A lullaby?

Reva: A lullaby.

Jeffrey: A lullaby for my baby. A lullaby, what she want from me.

Reva: (Laughs) I like that.

Shayne: Mallet and Marina, ha, ha, ha.

Dinah: Yup. You have no idea. But we're not going to talk about them right now.

Shayne: Okay.

Dinah: Listen, do you need any help at all getting back to the hospital?

Shayne: No. What about you? Do you need a ride?

Dinah: I'm actually going home. Back to Springfield.

Shayne: Good. It's going to be quiet around here again.

Dinah: I wasn't ever going to go back, but I need to straighten out this brother thing, you know?

Shayne: What about this Mallet guy thing? Are you going to stop that wedding? You seem like the kind of gal who would break up a wedding for sport.

Dinah: No, no, no. I don't do stupid, self-destructive stuff like that anymore.

Shayne: Yeah. Right.

Dinah: I try not to. So, this is it. Good luck.

Shayne: Don't you worry about me. The chair is a chick magnet. No, really, it is. Come on. It worked with you, didn't it?

Dinah: (Laughs) Well, good-bye. Whoever you are.

Marina: What brought this up again? My mother. I will kill her.

Mallet: No, no, no, no, no. It wasn't just her. I see you with kids. I see you with Zach and Jude, Beth’s daughter, Peyton, and I see you with Matt and Vanessa’s daughter. They just love you. And your eyes light up. And they jump into your arms, like a perfect picture. Your arms, full of kids.

Marina: You know, just because we don't talk about it, didn't mean I haven't thought about it.

Mallet: You have.

Marina: Yeah. I know what marrying you means in that department.

Mallet: And does it upset you?

Marina: No. We'll find a way to make it work. We'll find a way to make it happen. And I know I'm going to end up with an armful of kids. And I want you to be their dad.

Mallet: I want that, too.

Marina: And we're going to have a great family, and we're going to have great kids. Because they are going to have two parents who love each other so much.

Mallet: So no doubts?

Marina: Not a one.

Eleni: Hey, stranger. (Laughs)

Frank: How are you?

Eleni: Hey! (Laughs)

Frank: It's good to see you. You look great.

Eleni: It's good to see you. You, too, Frankie.

Frank: I had no idea you were in town.

Eleni: Neither did Marina. Mallet flew me in to surprise her.

Frank: For the wedding?

Eleni: You know?

Frank: (Laughs) This family just can't keep secrets, can it?

Eleni: I just want our daughter to be happy.

Frank: Me, too. I'm glad to hear you say that, though. I'm going to need your help.

Eleni: Uh-oh.

Frank: Oh, yeah. This little private wedding that they're throwing, big mistake. I want us to throw them, Marina and Mallet, a big, old-fashioned Greek wedding, just like ours, whether they want it or not.

Eleni: Uh-oh (laughs) Good idea.

Doctor: This is a surprise. You working so hard getting back on your feet.

Shayne: Ha-ha-ha. Yeah, tell the gang they're not going to have me doing wheelies in the hall anymore. I've got something I have to go check out back home.

Coming up on "Guiding Light"...

Shayne: They say you can't go home again. I didn't think I ever would, not like this. (Hard rock playing) Oh, I'm so sorry.

Mallet: Why don't you watch out, okay? Is there a problem here?

Shayne: Yeah, we've got a problem.

Mallet: Oh!
