One Life to Live Transcript Monday 11/25/02
Jen: He's not going to marry me. He's going to go right back to Natalie. I know it.
Natalie: We're going to be together now.
Cristian: Nothing's going to keep us apart.
Troy: The one person that I loved more than anything in this world is dead because of me.
Mitch: We have a child together, and you can't bear that now any more than you could bear it then.
Marcie: Cristian's still not home?
***********************************************
Jen: I don't understand this. Where is he?
[Knock on door]
Jessica: Hi. Hi. How are you, Jen?
Jen: I'm okay. I'm okay, I guess.
Jessica: Hi, Marcie.
Marcie: Hi. I got to go take care of something. See you.
Jessica: Hi. I -- I just wanted to know -- I brought these for you.
Jen: Thanks.
Jessica: Is there anything I can do for you, Jen?
Jen: Actually, there is.
Jessica: Oh. Great. What?
Jen: Go find Cristian and tell him I need to see him right away.
***********************************************
Cristian: Natalie, um --
Natalie: What? You having second thoughts?
Cristian: No. No, it's just that -- well, I waited so long for this.
Natalie: Me, too.
Cristian: I don't want to wait anymore.
Natalie: Neither do I.
***********************************************
Troy: Do you hear what I'm saying to you, Lindsay? You can turn Nora against me, but you can't ever make me stop loving her, no matter how hard you try and destroy that.
Nurse: Doctor, we need you in 16. Cardiac arrest.
Troy: Thank you.
Lindsay: I believe you, Troy. Maybe I can't destroy your love for Nora, so I guess I'll just have to settle for destroying you.
***********************************************
Mitch: That's your big, dark secret, Viki -- you allowed me to take your own child.
Viki: No. No. You're lying. You have to be lying. Why would -- why would you take one child and then switch her for the other? It doesn't make any sense.
Mitch: Well, I can explain that Viki. But I'm afraid you're not going to like what you hear.
***********************************************
Emily: Troy?
Troy: Em, hey. What are you doing here?
Emily: I just -- I wanted to see how you are after our conversation.
Troy: Oh. Well, professionally, I'm doing great. In fact, I just resuscitated a patient that went into cardiac arrest. Personally? Personally, I feel like my whole life's about to fall apart.
Emily: Because of Lindsay.
Troy: Yeah. She's going to tell Nora everything, emily, and there's nothing that I can do to stop her.
Emily: Well, you know, maybe Nora will find a way to understand.
Troy: To understand? To understand what? That -- that because of my jealousy, I -- I played a game on my wife and I pretended to be Colin so that she would think that -- that she had cheated on me with my own twin brother? Yeah, she'll understand.
Emily: Please, I mean, you're torturing yourself.
Troy: That's a small price to pay for what I did. Joanna loved me, Emily. She loved me. And you know how I repaid her? I drove her out of her house, off a cliff into the Zambezi River. Do you have any idea the pain and the fear that she must have felt before she died? And you think Nora is going to understand a man who could do that to the woman he loved? Hell, look at you. You can't even understand it, can you?
***********************************************
Lindsay: Nora, I'm happy to see you.
Nora: No. No, don't do this.
Lindsay: No, really, I think we need to talk.
Nora: No, we don't need to talk. I'm tired of you blaming me for everything that has gone wrong in your life and in Jen's life. Oh, and, by the way, I gave her the flowers. Deal with it.
Lindsay: It's not about that.
Nora: I don't care what it's about, Lindsay.
Lindsay: Well, you should. It's about somebody you care about.
Nora: Oh, gee, I wonder who that could be. Hmm. Never mind.
Lindsay: Nora, it's very interesting.
Nora: Hey, Sam.
Sam: Hi.
Nora: I -- I just went and saw Jen, and I think she -- she seems to be doing all right.
Sam: Good. Good.
Nora: And what about you?
Sam: Hmm?
Nora: How are you doing with everything?
Sam: To tell you the truth, I'm not sure.
Nora: Last time I saw you, you were trying to rip Todd's head off for taking custody of the kids away from Blair, and I wasn't having much luck stopping you.
Sam: Well, he still has his head, and I've calmed down since I saw him again.
Nora: Okay. Good. I'm worried about you, sam. You know, with Jen's miscarriage and what's happened with Blair, it's a lot to deal with.
Sam: And they've had the worst of it.
Nora: Yeah, well, it's taken its toll out on you, too, hasn't it?
Sam: Somewhat, maybe.
Nora: Okay. Well, don't try and take it on all by yourself, you know. How about using some of your friends for support? You can use me.
Sam: Nora --
Nora: No, no, no, I'm serious. If you just want to sit and talk or you want someone to run errands for you or just want someone to sit there and listen to you rail against the fates, please call me.
Sam: Thanks.
Nora: Okay, my phone better ring.
Sam: You haven't lost your skill for mind reading.
Nora: Only for the people I care about. Hey, do you have some available time coming up? Because I know someone who wouldn't mind you stopping by and saying hi, like me and a little boy who loves you.
Sam: I would love that.
Nora: Okay.
Sam: Let me just check on Jen's status and --
Nora: Okay.
Sam: Once I know she's settled in -- you know, actually, you and I should sit down with Matthew and tell him what happened to his sister.
Nora: Yeah, but let's not tell him too much.
Sam: Exactly, only what he can handle.
Nora: All right. That sounds good.
Lindsay: Excuse me, I just heard you talking about Jen?
Nora: Yes.
Lindsay: Well, I just want you to know that Sam and I are handling this. We are her parents and this is a family matter, so butt out.
***********************************************
Jessica: You don't know where Cristian is?
Jen: If I did, why would I be ask you to find him?
Jessica: Have you looked anywhere?
Jen: Yes. I've looked at the diner, the loft, Break Bar. I've called everywhere.
Jessica: Oh. I -- well, I don't -- I don't know where else you could look for him, then.
Jen: How can he just disappear like this? Doesn't he know what I'm going through?
Jessica: No man can. But I do.
Jen: Ahah, right.
Jessica: Jen, I lost my baby, too. She was going to be your niece. So, yes, I do know what you're going through, and it's awful. You feel empty. You feel like you're missing something in your body, in your life, in your soul, you know. It took me weeks to stop crying for her. Even now I still think about her. I still --
Jen: This isn't about you! This is about me! And the only person that I want to share this with is Cristian! That is why I need him here!
***********************************************
[Noise]
Natalie: What was that?
Cristian: I don't know. An owl, maybe?
Natalie: Well, whatever it was, it wasn't human, that's for sure.
Natalie: Cris --
Cristian: Yeah. Yeah, I know.
Natalie: I'm sorry.
Cristian: No, hey. That's okay. I mean, I feel it, too.
Natalie: You do?
Cristian: Yeah. Yeah, we can't do this. I mean, not yet. You're still married to Michael.
Natalie: Yeah. I mean, you wouldn't feel right knowing Jen's still in the hospital and doesn't know it's over between the two of you.
Cristian: No. I mean, I don't love her anymore, but I don't want to hurt her any more than I have to.
Natalie: Yeah. I don't -- I don't want it to be this way -- our first time.
Cristian: I don't want our first time to be like this, either.
Natalie: It should be really special.
Cristian: Yeah.
Cristian: It's really tough, though.
Natalie: Maybe that tow truck's going to show up soon.
Cristian: Yeah, and as soon as it does, I'm going to run right straight to that hospital and break the news to Jen. I mean, there's no reason why I should hold off any longer.
Natalie: Are you sure it's going to be okay?
Cristian: Oh, yeah. Definitely.
Natalie: I just feel so bad for you. I mean, I know it's going to be much easier for me with Michael.
Cristian: I hope so, for your sake.
Natalie: It will. I mean, Michael’s very -- well, he's a wonderful man. I mean, he really cares about me. Plus, he's extremely understanding. So it'll go fine.
***********************************************
Mitch: Jessica and Natalie. Natalie and Jessica. The shell game twins. You start out with one, and you end up with the other.
Viki: Why?
Mitch: What? You can't figure out why I switched them?
Viki: No. You ripped Jessica out of my arms because you say you fathered her, but why then send Allison to take Natalie and bring Jessica back to me?
Mitch: Well, it is a puzzlement.
Viki: Answer my question. Why would you bring your daughter back to me and keep the child that I had with Clint?
Mitch: I didn't exactly keep her, though, did I?
Viki: No, you didn’t. You doomed her to a life with Roxanne Balsom.
Mitch: Well, you know, I really didn't have much choice. I knew I was going to be on the run. That's a little hard to do when you've got a little baby under your arms.
Viki: Then why did you take Jessica in the first place?
Mitch: Well, I figured I could kick back for a little while and enjoy my daughter as long as possible.
Viki: No, no. If she were really yours, why would you give her to Clint and to me and then take Natalie, who was Clint’s daughter, and give her to Roxanne?
Mitch: You still cannot figure it out?
Viki: No. Because there is nothing to figure out. You are lying to me! People do things for a reason, and there is no reason for this.
Mitch: Only the noblest reason of all -- a father's love. I wanted my daughter, Jessica, to have everything, just like I should have had everything if u hadn't come between me and your conveniently stupid sister, Tina.
Viki: But taking Natalie --
Mitch: Simple. I wanted Clint’s daughter to have nothing, just like I wanted my daughter to have everything. That's why Natalie grew up in filth and squalor with a drunken slut for a mother and my Jessica grew up here in wealth and splendor. Nothing's too good for Daddy's little girl.
Viki: How could you give away your own child?
Mitch: Look who's talking.
Viki: But you gave her to people that you despised.
Mitch: I still despise. Oh, God, it was so sweet. All-powerful Victoria Lord Buchanan and her cowboy consort not realizing that the baby that Allison brought back to them was not the baby that had been taken away.
Viki: I can't believe this happened.
Mitch: Yeah, well, it did. So there you were -- you and the almighty Clint Buchanan -- holding not Clint’s child in your arms but mine. My baby, my daughter sleeping in the fancy nursery. My daughter wearing the expensive baby clothes. My daughter with her nannies and the sterling silver baby spoon. My daughter enjoying the best of everything. Are you getting the picture?
Viki: You threw away Natalie’s life, and now you married her? What kind of a sadistic madman are you?
Mitch: The practical kind. Natalie's a Buchanan again, an heiress. And that makes me her consort now.
Viki: You just married her for her money?
Mitch: Among other things.
***********************************************
Cristian: What you thinking about?
Natalie: About Michael. He said that he saw happiness in my future, and I think he was right. Although, I don't think he was thinking of you.
Cristian: Do you feel bad about this?
Natalie: Well -- when this is all over, you and I are going to be together, so I can't feel too badly. I think I'll just feel a lot better when I can tell Michael that I'm not going to stay married to him.
Cristian: Yeah, I'll feel a lot better, too, once I clear the air with Jen.
Natalie: Good luck.
Cristian: Well, something tells me it's not going to be a total shock. I mean, deep down, Jen’s got to know that the only reason I was marrying her was because of the baby.
Natalie: Well, Michael knows how much I love you. I mean, I've told him enough times.
Cristian: He still wanted to marry you? Even though he knew you were on the rebound?
Natalie: Cris, come on, please. I know that you don't like Michael, but he was very good to me. I can handle this.
Cristian: Well, the tow truck should be getting here soon. You know, I'm really glad we had this time together.
Natalie: Me, too. You know, it weird. Everything's changing so fast. I mean, one minute I think that I can't have the one thing that I want most in the world, and the next minute there he is. I love you so much, Cristian.
Cristian: And I love you. And that's something that's never going to change.
Natalie: Cris --
Cristian: What?
Natalie: I have something for you.
Natalie: Here.
Cristian: My St. Christopher medal. But I gave this to you.
Natalie: Yeah, and I kept trying to get rid of it, but it kept coming back to me. Now I know why -- so I can give it back to you.
Cristian: But, Natalie, I wanted you to keep this.
Natalie: Yeah, so we'd have something to remember each other by when we thought we couldn't be together. But, Cristian, I don't need to remember you. I have you now forever. Come on. Bend your head down a little.
***********************************************
Jessica: Jen, a miscarriage can be really rough on a relationship. You know, you feel hurt and helpless, and the one person you need to be the strongest person in your life -- he's also hurt. So I understand if you guys are having problems.
Jen: We're not having problems. If I hadn't miscarried at the wedding, we would be married right now. And we will be as soon as I get out of here.
Jessica: You didn't get married?
Nora: We were two seconds away from saying our vows when it happened. I mean, it's not like we can get married in the E.R.
Jessica: You're going to be grieving for a while, you know, so maybe you should just take things slow and not rush when you get out of here to get married again.
Jen: What does it look like I'm doing? Having a party? I am grieving. Mind your own business.
Jessica: Oh, I'm sorry. I was just trying to help. I --
Jen: No, I know exactly what you were doing. You don't think I know that you're jealous that I'm marrying your first boyfriend?
Jessica: Maybe -- maybe you don't want me here.
Jen: No, I don’t. We're not friends, and we never have been. And I don't really like you much, to tell you the truth.
Jessica: Well, I'm sorry you feel that way.
Jen: I mean, come on, Jessica, you can bring all the sappy flower arrangements you want, but you don't like me, either.
Jessica: No, I never said that.
Jen: It's not what you said; it's what you did.
Jessica: What did I do?
Jen: You became friends with that psycho stalker, Al. Look what he did.
Jessica: When I told Al about the wedding, I never thought he was going to go to the country club and try and stop it.
Jen: You told Al? After everything I did to try to keep him from finding out.
Jessica: Well, he came to me really upset, and I thought he had a right to know. I thought he needed to accept the fact that you two were never going to be together.
Jen: I don't care what you thought. I knew he would ruin everything, and he did. And it's your fault. It is your fault that he came in, he barged in, and he ruined everything, and he made me lose my baby.
***********************************************
Sam: Lindsay, Nora and I were discussing how to tell Matthew about what happened to Jen, and that is Nora's business. We were also talking about Blair.
Lindsay: Yes, I know that you and Blair are seeing each other again.
Sam: No, that's not what I was going to say. You may not know this, but Blair -- she saw Starr’s nanny get shot and killed right before her very eyes, and she's had a complete mental and emotional breakdown.
Lindsay: What?
Sam: She's in a catatonic state with no hope of recovery. She's left Llanview for good.
Lindsay: I'm sorry, Sam. I'm so sorry.
Lindsay: Sam Rappaport, how could you? When our daughter is languishing in a hospital room and Nora's boyfriend Troy works here?
Nora: That's my ex-boyfriend, Lindsay. Since you pointed out what a monster Troy is, Sam and I are back together again, and now we're more in love than ever. Thank you.
Lindsay: I can't destroy Nora's world only to have her go back to Sam.
Mitch: As Natalie’s husband, I have ready access to her fortune. Oh -- that probably means I have ready access to your fortune, as well. And of course, I have very special access to Natalie herself. She's grown into quite a lovely young woman, in case you haven't noticed.
Viki: If you so much as touch her --
Mitch: Oh, it happens in the best of marriages.
Viki: I will kill you.
Mitch: Kill Jessica's father? Oh, by the way, that's another reason I married Natalie. I wanted to be closer to my daughter. And now I'm her brother-in-law. By the way, when will Jessie be back? I'd like to spend some more time with her.
Viki: You're going to stay very far away from Jessica, and I'm going to tell Natalie exactly who and what you are.
Mitch: You don't understand how this works, do you? If you tell Natalie who I am, I will tell Jessica the very same thing.
Viki: That would destroy her.
Mitch: Indeed. And you saw how much that picture of she and Clint together meant to her. How do you think she would feel after all she's been through? Those months when she thought that Roxy and her husband were her parents? How would she feel if she would find out that I were her biological father? Do you really think Jessica has the strength to handle that little bit of news?
***********************************************
Sam: Listen, I'm going to check on Jen's status. I'll see you later.
Nora: All right.
Sam: Excuse me.
Nurse: Yes?
Sam: Is Dr. Conklin making rounds again tonight?
Nurse: I believe so.
Sam: Well, could you tell her that I'd like to talk to her about my daughter's condition -- Jen?
Nurse: Certainly.
Sam: Thanks a lot. I appreciate it.
Lindsay: Sam? I'm going to stop by Cristian’s apartment and pick up some clothes for Jen.
Sam: Okay. Listen, could I talk to you for a second?
Lindsay: Sure.
Sam: Um -- what were you thinking earlier when you went off on Nora like that?
Lindsay: Is this going to be another lecture?
Sam: Well, I just don't understand. As it happens, Nora had good reason to be concerned about Jen. I mean, she is the mother of Jen's brother. And even is she wasn't, she's still my friend, and so naturally, I would talk to her about something like that.
Lindsay: Yeah, because you and Nora are always there for each other. Well, if it weren't for Nora, I could have been there for Jen and this whole thing wouldn't have happened.
***********************************************
Emily: Troy, you're my brother. I love you.
Troy: Yeah, you love me. You love me. I'm your brother, Emily; you have to love me. But let me ask you something. If the man that you loved had done what I did, could you ever trust him again? Yeah, that's exactly what I thought.
***********************************************
Jessica: You think Al caused your miscarriage?
Jen: I don't think it; I know it.
Jessica: No, that -- that can't be right.
Jen: Dr. Conklin told me that it had to be from stress, and you have no idea how stressed out I was at my wedding.
Jessica: I can imagine.
Jen: No, you can’t. It's like everyone was trying to prevent me from marrying him. First, your disgusting twin sister, then Al. I guess you all got what you wished for.
Jessica: I did not want your wedding to not happen.
Jen: Then why did you tell Al about it?
Jessica: Because he came to me really upset talking about maybe stopping your engagement.
Jen: So you told him I was getting married?
Jessica: I didn't tell him where.
Jen: You didn't need to. He found out -- just like you wanted him to.
Jessica: No, that is not what I wanted, Jen. I wanted -- I told him about the wedding so that he could face the truth and move on.
Jen: Why do you even bother lying? Come on, there's nobody else in the room but us. And we both know that you wanted Al to stop the wedding. And he did, and killed my baby, too!
Jessica: And I'm really sorry about that, Jen.
Jen: Are you? Or was that part of your plan, too?
Jessica: What? That is an awful thing to say.
Jen: Oh, really? Maybe it was just a bonus.
Jessica: That is unfair, Jen. Come on.
Jen: Unfair? I'm the one sitting here with no baby, no marriage, and you're talking to me about "unfair"?
Jessica: I never meant for any of that to happen to you, Jen. I am --
Jen: Okay, what else do you want to do to me? I mean, I'm too weak to fight back, so here's your chance. Are you going to smother me with a pillow? How about poisoning my food?
Jessica: I shouldn't have come. I'm sorry that I upset you.
Jen: What goes around comes around, Jessica. And I can't wait till what you did to me comes around to you.
***********************************************
Mitch: Jessica thinks she just got big Daddy Clint’s D.N.A. back. How do you think she'll take it when I tell her it's all a gigantic lie, that her biological father is her own family's worst blood enemy?
Viki: It would shatter her.
Mitch: Well, the lord giveth and the lord taketh away. But he's been doing so much of that lately to poor little Jessica. I don't think she's up to another twist in her family's tree.
Viki: You say that you want to get to know your daughter and be close to her. How could you hurt her like that?
Mitch: I don't want to, Viki. And I won't -- unless you destroy my marriage to Natalie by telling her who I am.
Viki: You're asking me to sacrifice one child for the other.
Mitch: Yes.
Viki: I can't do that.
Mitch: Why not? You did it before.
Viki: Get out of my house.
Mitch: Excuse me?
Viki: I said, get out of my house. And don't you ever come back here again.
Mitch: Oh, forgive her, Lord. She knows not what she does. Tell you what, Viki. I'll give you a little time to come to your senses. In the meantime, looks like I'm back in business, so here's a little something to remember me by until we meet again -- which should be quite a t now that I'm your son-in-law, Mom. Ah. Well, every family has their little disagreements.
***********************************************
Viki: Natalie. Oh, my God, Natalie.
***********************************************
Natalie: Michael.
Mitch: Natalie. Something wrong?
Natalie: No. I just -- I didn't expect you to still be here.
Mitch: Oh, well, your mom and I were having such an exhilarating talk. It went on much longer than I thought. But we should probably discuss it somewhere else.
Natalie: Yeah, I think that's a good idea.
Jen: Cristian, I've been calling everywhere looking for you. Where have you been?
Cristian: I had some stuff I needed to take care of. Oh, and then I was driving, and out of nowhere this deer runs in front of my car.
Jen: Really? What happened?
Cristian: Well, I swerved to miss it, and I got stuck in a ditch.
Jen: Were you hurt?
Cristian: No, no, I'm fine. But I had to wait for the tow. Sorry. I didn't realize I'd be gone that long.
Jen: I knew something bad had happened.
Cristian: I'm fine.
Jen: Thank God. Come here. Look who's getting shy all of a sudden? Come on, I'm sure the nurses have seen a lot worse than that.
Cristian: I just saw Dr. Conklin outside. She says that you're making a pretty good recovery. You might be out of here soon.
Jen: Well, if she says so, but I don't know.
Cristian: You're not okay?
Jen: I don't know if I'll be ever okay. I lost our baby. I mean, all I have left is you and your love.
***********************************************
Lindsay: Oh, hey, excuse me.
Man: Oh, you're that nice lady who was here before.
Lindsay: Oh, yes, thank you. Listen, I -- my daughter's in the hospital, and I came by to pick up some clothes for her. But I'm so rattled, I forgot the keys, and I was wondering if you would be willing to let me into her apartment again.
Man: Let yourself in.
Lindsay: Oh.
Man: Here. Drop them off in the basement when you're done.
Lindsay: Thank you.
Man: Anything for a pretty lady.
Lindsay: Oh. Thanks again. At least I'm hit with the super. Now, which one of these are -- "MacIver"?
Troy's voice: You can turn Nora against me, but you can't make me stop loving her. No matter how hard you try, you can never destroy that.
Nora: Great. That's great, Marianne. Thank you. Bye-bye. Oh, Sam, how's Jen doing?
Sam: She got a good report from Dr. Conklin. She should be leaving soon.
Nora: Oh, that's wonderful.
Sam: Yeah. Listen, there's something else. I -- I spoke to Lindsay, and I got a pretty good idea what's bugging her. Basically, she still blames you for all of Jen's problems. She's under this delusion that if she hadn't been sent to prison, that there would have been no fire, no pregnancy, no miscarriage. And of course, she thinks the fact that she was behind bars is somehow your fault and not hers.
Nora: I know. She took the opportunity to give me that little piece of guilt personally. It's nothing new, Sam. She does. She blames me for everything. It's my fault that she lost Bo. It's my fault that she lost you, that she lost Troy. It's my fault for everything -- everything that's happened in her life, including the fact that nobody loves her.
Sam: Yeah, and she seems to be blaming you more than ever, it seems. I hope she doesn't do something stupid.
***********************************************
Lindsay: God, I hate you.
Troy: Maybe I was thinking about what we did last night.
***********************************************
Cristian: Jen, look, I know you've been through a really hard time, but you're going to be okay I mean, Dr. Conklin said so.
Jen: Someday. But right now, that day just seems really far off. I mean, losing this baby, it just -- it feels like a big emptiness, you know, in my heart and my soul. And it's probably going to be weeks before I stop crying about this baby. I mean, I'm never going to stop thinking about it.
Cristian: Jen, I'm so sorry.
Jen: I'm sorry. I'm sorry; I don't mean to get emotional.
Cristian: Oh, come on, you have every right to.
Jen: I have to be strong. I have to get through this.
Cristian: And you will.
Jen: And I will because I have you. You're all I have. I mean, if I didn't have you, I can't even imagine the state I would be in right now. I just had an idea.
Cristian what?
Jen: As soon as I'm released, let's get Rev. Carpenter over to the loft and get married.
Cristian: I don't think so.
Jen: Why not? It could be the one good thing to come out of this tragedy. We could get married, and we could start having another baby right away.
Cristian: Jen, listen to me. I'm not going to marry you.
***********************************************
Mitch: And that's why I think we should both stay away from your mother for a while, give her some time to absorb all the changes in her world.
Natalie: Uh-huh.
Mitch: I mean, we need to look at it from her point of view. She's just found a long-lost daughter, only to lose her to love. And the best gifts we can give her right now are privacy and our prayers.
Natalie: Yeah.
Mitch: Natalie, you haven't said a word practically since we left Llanfair.
Natalie: I'm sorry. I just -- I have a lot on my mind.
Mitch: Well, don't worry. I know this is a bit overwhelming for your mother, but I know she's going to come around.
Natalie: Michael, she doesn't have to.
Mitch: Well, what are you saying?
Natalie: You know how I feel about you. You found me when I was at my lowest, and you picked me up. And I'll always be so grateful to you that, but --
Mitch: Yes?
Natalie: I -- I can't be the wife that you deserve.
Mitch: Oh, Natalie. Even God doesn't judge you as harshly as you do yourself. I'm sure you will make a wonderful wife.
Natalie: No. You don't understand. I want a divorce.
***********************************************
Viki: Natalie, it's Mom. You have to call me just as soon as you get this message. I'm not kidding. Immediately call me. Please.
Jessica: Hey, is something wrong?
Viki: No, I need to talk to Natalie.
Jessica: Mom, that sounded pretty important.
Viki: Yes, yes, it is.
Jessica: Well, if I see her, I'll say something to her.
Viki: What?
Jessica: This is the guy who was here with you earlier. Michael Lazarus is Mitch Laurence? What? He's alive? Mom, what does this mean?
Stay tuned for scenes from the next "One Life to Live"
***********************************************
On the next "One Life to Live" --
Troy: I know what you want, Lindsay. I know exactly what you want.
Cristian: There's something that I need to tell you, and it can't wait.
Natalie: Do you understand why we can't stay together?
Jessica: Why would he come back here at all? What did he come back for?
