 Nick: Victoria, get her coat.

 Cody: Thank you.

 Victor: Hello, cody.

 Cody: Hey, how's it going, mr. Newman?

 Victor: Have you seen sharon?

 Cody: No, I haven'T.

 Victor: Has she phoned?

 Cody: No, sir. But if you'd like to wait around, I'm sure she'll pop in to check on things.

 Victor: Unfortunately, I doubt that.

 Jack: Victor.

 Victor: Hello, jack.

 Jack: I hear you you say you're looking for sharon?

 Victor: Yes. Have you seen her?

 Jack: No. It must be something heavy

bring you here. I know this isn't one of your favorite places.

 Victor: I'm trying to locate my daughter-in-law.

 Jack: Well, good luck. I had heard things weren't going so well on the home front.

 Santana: Hello, mr. Williams.

 Paul: Hey, santana. This is kelly. Kelly, santana, ricky's babysitter.

 Chris: Pleasure to meet you.

 Santana: No calls from anyone.

 Paul: How is the boy?

 Santana: Sound asleep.

 Paul: Really? His teeth aren't giving him any problems?

 Santana: They must not be.

 Paul: That's good news. How's tomorrow look?

 Santana: Any time.

 Paul: All right, why don't I give you a call?

 Santana: Fine. It was nice to have met you.

 Chris: Oh, same here, santana.

 Paul: There you go.

 Paul: I appreciate you coming over.

 Chris: I'm not que rere why I did.

 Paul: Well, you met this guy in the coffeehouse who's a little down. Marital problems, you know? And being the perceptive woman that you are, you knew that he needed to talk. And your southern breeding took over.

 Chris: More or less.

 Paul: I'll be rightacack. I'm gonna check on the boy.

 Chris: You go ahead. Oh, god. Am I nuts? Get out of here, chris, while there's still time. (Doorbell rings)

 Neil: Yeah? Coming.

 Neil: Sid.

 Sid: Hello, neil. It's been a very long time.

 Neil: Yeah, sure has.

 Sid: I was just on my way to chicago, passing through...

 Neil: Yeah, uh, drucilla's not here. I don't know when she's coming back, and I'm on my way out.

 Sid: Actually, neil, I'd like a word with you. I won't take much of your time.

 Neil: Time is something I really don't have right now.

 Sid: I'm concerned about dru.

 Neil: Really?

 Sid: Mm-hmm.

 Neil: Come on in. So, sid, what's the problem?

 Sid: I just want to know how she is after my phone call the other day.

 Neil: What phone call?

 Sid: She didn't tell you? I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

 Neil: Hey, listen, sid, would you just cut to the chase? Get to the point here, please.

 Sid: When I spo with dru I had to tell her that her modeling career is over. (Doorbell rings)

 Dru: Hi.

 Olivia: Dru, hi. What brings you by?

 Dru: I didn't know I needed a reason to see my own sister.

 Olivia: You don'T. Just wondered why you were here.

 Dru: Well, you know, I have an interview for a modeling job.

 Olivia: You do? Well, that's great. What's it for?

 Dru: Well, nothing's written in stone. You know what, I don't want to talk about it, because I'll jinx it. But I will tell you it has unlimited potential, and it's an excellent way to introduce me back into the states.

 Olivia: Well, that's excellent news. Good for you.

 Dru: Thanks. But that's not why I'm here. I'm here to thank you.

 Olivia: Thank me? For what?

 Dru: For all the good advice you've been giving to the men in my life.

 Olivia: I knew you came over here for a reason.

 Dru: How y you do it? Full-time mom, doctor, bouncing to and fro, and still you find the time to dole out pearls of wisdom to neil and wes. I mean, it's amazing. How do you do it?

 Olivia: You know, I really didn't know I needed your permission to talk to wesley and neil. You may not be aware of this, but I do have my own relationship with the two of them.

 Dru: I know you do. Now let me level with you. I don't appreciate you discussing my personal business behind my back.

 Victoria: Great. You got the blankets? Miguel's waiting by the front for the paramedics. Here. Are you still there? Yeah. Is she still--is she breathing?

 Nick: No.

 Victoria: Oh, god, no. She's not breathing. I don't know! We don't know. How far away are you? Oh, god. Oh, god, please hurry. Please... 

 Paul: Quite a picture, isn't it?

 Chris: He's a cutie, all right.

 Paul: Would you like some coffee or some juice or anything to drink at all?

 Chris: No, thank you. One more cup of coffee this late in the day, I'll be sleeping with my eyes wide open. So how is that little guy?

 Paul: Oh, he's sleeping like a champ. He's always been a really good baby.

 Chris: First babies are like that--god's little trick to make people want more. I'm sorry. I hit a sad nerve, didn't I? You said that your wife moved out?

 Paul: Don't get the wrong idea. She's not abandoning her responsibilities. It's killing her not to be with ricky full-time, but she gets to spend a lot of time with him.

 Chris: Here?

 Paul: Mm-hmm.

 Chris: If that's the case, I should g g going just in case--

 Paul: No, don't worry about it. We schedule it so we're not here at the same time. What's the difference anyway? We're just acquaintances.

 Chris: You think your wife would buy that?

 Paul: No, I think she would take it the wrong way. So care to sit down anyway?

 Chris: Well, I get the feeling that this schedule you've arranged isn't quite to your liking.

 Paul: No. No, but it's painful for isabella to be around me these days.

 Chris: Even for a few minutes?

 Paul: It's my fault. I have put her through hell emotiolllly.

 Chris: I doubt all the blame is yours. Situations like this-- there's almost always fault on both sides.

 Paul: Well, her only fault, as she points out, was believing in me, trusting in our relationship and not her instincts.

 Chris: Instincts about what?

 Paul: Another woman.

 Chris: Oh?

 Paul: A woman from my past-- my ex-wife. You know, I thought I had moved on, but, uh... you know, I don't know why I'm spilling my guts out to a total stranger. Maybe I should stop.

 Chris: Do you want to?

 Paul: No.

 Chris: So don'T.

 Victor: What is happening on my home front is not your concern.

 Jack: Relax. I talked to nikki. She shared with me that nicholas and sharon have had eieir share of problems in the last few months.

 Victor: Did you hear what I just said?

 Jack: It's personal, it's a family affair, yeah.

 Victor: You got it.

 Jack: What you're forgetting is I used to be family. Nicholas was my stepson.

 Victor: That is ancient history, jack.

 Jack: Or maybe you just don't want to remember it. Look, I care a great deal about nicholas. I want to help if there's any way I can.

 Victor: How the hell do you think you can help that boy? He's no longer a child. He's grown up with adult problems, all right?

 Jack: And god forbid he should turn to jack abbott for advice.

 Victor: What is your inint in all this?

 Jack: Tell nicholas to hang in there. I know from recent experience, when it looks like things couldn't get any worse, suddenly there is hope.

 Victor: That is your advice to my son?

 Jack: It might be good advice for you, too, victor.

 Victor: Thank you, jack.

 Miguel: Thank god you guys got here so fast.

 Medic: We were in the are when the call came in.

 Medic #2: Let's lay it right here on the floor.

 Medic #1: This is unit three. We're at the scene.

 Medic #2: Okay, sir, we'll take it from here, please.

 Nick: Thanks.

 Medic #2: How long's she been in the water?

 Victoria: We don't know.

 Medic #2: Okay, I got a weak pulse and no respirations. Let's bag her a couple of times.

 Medic #1: Victim has no respirations. We're going to intubate. We're not going to get a B.P. We're gonna have to start an I.V.

 Medic #2: Okay, go ahead.

 Medic #2: I'miN. Let's bag her right there. Bring the ambu bag right there. Check some breath signs. Okay, pump it.

 Olivia: What's your problem?

 Dru: You. You're my problem.

 Olivia: No, no, no, no.

You're your problem. All I did was talk with neil and wes. I certainly wasn't interfering.

 Dru: Really? Well, we were getting along just fine, under the circumstances, until you started running your mouth like a bell clapper. And now I'm having trouble with both of them.

 Olivia: And you're blaming me for that?

 Dru: Well, who else?

 Olivia: You know what? Let's get a few things straight here. I didn't seek out wes. He turned up at my door. All I did was ask the man how he was and it all came pouring out. And, yes, I went to neil to get his side of the story. But if my asking those two men to back off so that you have time to think is interfering, then, yeah, I'm guilty as charged.

 Dru: You should have told wesley it was none of your business.

 Olivia: Oh, yeah, like I told you it was none of your business when I was having problems with brad and ashley like that? You know what? Wesley has no one to talk to. He's holed up in that hotel by himself far away from home waiting for you to make up your damn mind. Oh, which brings me to a question I want to ask you. What is it you want? Is it wesley? Is it neil? Is it both of them?

 Dru: That's for me to know, and for you to find out. Beside, that is not the issue.

 Olivia: Oh, yeah, it is the issue. I mean, it's the reason that these two men are acting so crazy. So if you want to get rid of these problems you're complaining about, you better prioritize.

 Dru: Oh, and you be the priority authority. Let me just tell you, I have talked to these men over and over, olivia. I have been as honest as I can be, all right?

 Olivia: Then clearly you're not being honest with yourself. If you're having problems in your fefe with these two men, it has nothing to do with anything I said to them the other day. If the two of them are angry, it's because you created it.

 Dru: Well, if they're mad, they can stay mad. Who needs a man anyway?

 Olivia: Oh, there you go being rational.

 Dru: No, I think that I'm declaring I independence, and you know I am an independent woman. I have grip in the bank, I have a child, I have a career, and I think that's plenty enough for dru.

 Olivia: Don't you have a modeling gig, interview to go to?

 Medic #1: Is she responng yet?

 Victor: Oh, my god. What is her condition?

 Victoria: She wasn't breathing when we got her out of the pond.

 Victor: How did this ppppen?

 Nick: I don't know. She must not have gone to the house like I told her to go back there.

 Miguel: I didn't realize she was going to your house, nicholas. I thought she was gonna wait for you. I would have gone with her.

 Nick: It's not your fault. It's mine. I never should have blown her off a second time.

 Nick: Cassie, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.

 Medic #1: Give me another heat pack.

 Medic #2: There you go.

 Medic #1: All right, she's still unconscious. The medivac is coming. We'll bring her out to you.

 Medic #2: Would you mind holding this? Squeeze it every three seconds. Support it right here.

 Medic #1: Okay, guys, ready? On three--1, 2, 3, lift.

 Medic #2: Okay, watch your back. Ere yoyou go.

 Medic #1: Watch your back.

 Jack: It wan an excellent valentine's day promotion. Get me the new york numbers as soon as you can. (Knocks on door)

 Jack: I gotta run, okay? Thanks. Come in.

 Dru: Hi, jack.

 Jack: Drucilla. What a nice surprise.

 Dru: You look fabulous.

 Jack: Well, thank you. You look great.

 Dru: Balance. You know, jack, I know I don't have an appointment with you, but I was hoping that you could squeeze me in.

 Jack: Well, I have a few minutes before my next appointment. Consider yourself squeezed.

 Dru: Merci.

 Jack: You know, if you'd drop by the house to see your aunt mamie every once in awhile, we'd have more of a chance to talk.

 Dru: Well, it just so happens I do stop by to see my aunt mamie, but it's during the afternoon when all of you abbotts are over here busy running this fabulous company jabot.

 Jack: Okay, you got me there. So what's going on in your life?

 Dru: This and that, you know. I'm helping daughter acquiesce to high school, genoa city living.

 Jack: It's got to be a little difficult for you. Too.

 Dru: No, I can work anywhere. In fact, um, I was toying with an idea.

 Jack: Now why do I get the feeling this is more than just a social call?

 Dru: Because you're a very bright man, jack. And because you know it isn'T.

 Jack: Okay, let's hear it.

 Dru: Well, you know I'm relocating from paris.

Parle vu francais?

 Jack: Uh, oui.

 Dru: Okay, so from paris to genoa city, and I wanted to give jabot the first opportunity to hire me as one of their top models. Now I know I'm internationally renowned, name recognition, a known face--

 Jack: Believe me, I know what you've been up to the last few years. You made quite a splash in europe.

 Dru: Stop, jack, you're making me blush. I'm back now. And I want to stay on top. And the only way to do that is twowork with the best. And the best is jabot. I think it would be a match made in heaven, don't you? In fact, I was thinking we could do a whole campaign with me as one of your top models with a new fragrance. Or with me with an existing fragrance or a brand-new campaign with drucilla. Just--

 Jack: Drucilla, we have all of our lead models lined up for the fragrances. I'm afraid I have nothing for you right now.

 Paul: No, I'm talking about it because I want to, unless it makes you uncomfortable.

 Chris: No, no. So other than abandoning her instincts, your wife must have done something to contribute to your difficulties.

 Paul: Well, no, not directly. I mean, she's not perfect. There were some bumpy roads in the beginning of our relationship that were her fault. I mean, things that she could have been a lot more open about, but that was a long time ago.

 Chris: Do you think she's being open with you now?

 Paul: Well, I certainly like to think so. But if she isn't, who am I to talk? Isabella's dishonesty is nothing compared to mine.

 Chris: I can tell you still have deep feelings for her.

 Pau w well, it's a little late. 'S's just that I was not as true a husband as she was a wife. And I held back. I closed off half my heart.

 Chris: Because it belonged to that other woman?

 Chris: Why are you looking at me like that?

 Paul: No reason. I just, um... I'm amazed how well you can read me.

C chris: I'm just a good listener, that's all. I'm gonna have that coffee.

 Victor: How long was cassie in the water before you got her out?

 Nick: How should I know? I was arguing with you.

 Victoria: Nicholas, come on.

 Nick: I don't know, like 5 minutes, maybe 20.

 Victor: Why wasn't she in school?

 Nick: She faked being sick so she could come home and check on sharon.

 Victor: Why did she want to check on sharon?

 Nick: She got this weird feeling from her this morning. She wanted to come home and see how she was doing. I never should have left her side after telling her sharon left. And then you had to walk in, have anoerer one of your talks.

 Victor: All you had to do was ask me to wait. I would have waited. You should have been with your daughter.

 Nick: Trust me, I wish I had. If she doesn't make it through this, I'm holding you responsible.

 Reese: Excuse me.

 Victor: How is she doing?

 Reese: Well, we need to talk about that.

 Dru: I see. All right, well, if those positions are filled, perhaps we can do something a little more conservative you know, I have a lot of obligations in my life right now--I'm a mother and lily is my focus, and who wants to work that hard again anyway? Something part-time would be perfect.

 Jack: I'm afraid we are full up at this point, dru. I mean, stay in touch. The possibility of a few day shoots is always very real.

 Dru: Somebody could call in sick, a cancellation, a pregnancy.

 Jack: Well, we both know that happens, don't we? Listen, leave your agent's number with my secretary. We'll keep you on file.

 Dru: Well, I don't have representation right now. I had to cut that agent loose. He was a slacker. But I have been taking appointments and there are some candidates. I need to make a choice.

 Jack: Well, leave us your home number then.

 Dru: I'll do that. I just happen to have my business card, the web site, the 2-way, the e-mail.

 Jack: Great.

 Dru: Okay. Well, I guess I'll let you get to your next meeting.

 Jack: Let me help you there.

 Dru: Merci.

 Jack: Well, good to see you.

 Dru: Au revoir.

 Jack: Au revoir.

 Reese: Cassie's still unconscious. She's on the ventilator, but she's breathing spontaneously. She took in a lot of water, but we've suctioned a lot out. The icy water saved her life.

 Victoria: I don't understand.

 Reese: Well, hypothermia reduces the vital organs' demands for oxygen. In effect, cassie went into a deep freeze when she fell into the water, and her breathing stopped.

 Victor: In other words, she was clinically dead.

 Reese: The paramedics were able to revive her. Her core body temperature was under 28 degrees centigrade when they brought her in. Now we're raising it with warmed I.V. Fluids, warmed oxygen, our bear-hugger warming blanket. We've regulated her electrolytes. It's all we can do right now.

 Nick: Is she gonna make it?

 Reese: I can't tell you that for sure. So far she's holding her own. It's touch and go.

 Victor: What about brain damage?

 Reese: Well, we won't know until she regains consciousness. It's possible she could recover completely.

 Nick: What are the odds?

 Reese: Nicholas, your daughter's a strong little girl. She's a fighter. Let's not speculate.

 Victor: Is there anything else you can tell us?

 Reese: Well, all we can do is wait. The next 24 hours will tell us a great deal.

 Victor: Thank you, doctor.

 Reese: All right.

 Dru: What am i going to do?

 Dru: Whoa! You're throwing me with the tux. Are you the matre d', the waiter or what?

 Neil: Both. I got a date tonight.

 Dru: Really? Well, tell me when she gets here and I'll make myself scarce.

 Neil: Well, um, actually, it's not what you think.

 Dru: You know, aren't you being a bit hypocritical?

 Neil: What do you mean?

 Dru: Aren't you the same man who told me not to have any romantic get-togethers in the apartment while lily's living here?

 Neil: Lily is spending the night with a friend. So there's no fear she'll walk in and ask what we're doing.

 Dru: What are we doing?

 Neil: Drucilla, you and me are on a date tonight.

 Dru: Really? And what's on the menu, neil?

 Victor: I just phoned miguel. He's watching noah. I asked him if he had seen sharon. He hadn'T. I told him to send her out here immediately as soon as he heard from her.

 Victoria: What about her mother?

 Victor: I talked to her earlier. She hadn't heard anything from sharon either.

 Victoria: So you haven't talked to her since cassie's accident?

 Victor: Unh-unh.

 Victoria: Well, I will give her a call, because she needs to wait by the phone, and if she hears anything from sharon, she needs to tell that woman to get over here as soon as humanly possible.

 Victor: Please do that, all right?

 Victoria: This isn't good, is it?

 Victor: No, it isn'T. I don't even want to think about it.

 Victoria: When's mother coming home?

 Victor: Tonight, I guess. What a homecoming.

 Victor: What was cassie doing by herself out in the cold near that pond? What the hell was she doing there?

 Victoria: I don't know. I guess she overheard you and nicholas arguing.

 Victor: Yeah, but nicholas told her that he would see her in a few minutes up at the main house. He had no idea that she would wander off.

 Victoria: She must have been very upset.

 Victor: I guess she feels that her family is shattered. Her father and I are not even talking to each other.

 Victoria: I remember when she first came to us.

 Victor: So do I. You know, she is the one that sharon had to give up. And then when she found her again, it was a miracle.

 Victoria: Well, we'd better pray for one now, because that's what we need-- a miracle.

 Neil: For your drinking pleasure, I have a bottle of non-alcoholic champagne and in this hand the real stuff. We both know what I'm having, and it's not gonna hurt my feelings any if you go for the real stuff.

 Dru: Neil, just give me the champagne, please.

 Neil: Got you.

 Dru: You know, all this and a rack of lamb, too. Boy, if this is the way we justify our arguments, I say I pick more fights more often.

 Neil: No, no, no. I wouldn't advise that. Otherwise, my darling, you gonna be eatin' fast food every night of your life. There you go. So to new beginnings, huh?

 Dru: To new beginnings.

 Neil: Ahh! How was your day?

 Dru: Um, it was all right. I had an interview over at jabot today.

 Neil: Mmm... how'd that go?

 Dru: You know, um, they made me an offer, and I couldn't accept it. Sid never would have permitted me to take it.

 Neil: Mm-hmm. Who'd you interview with?

 Dru: Jack abbott. Yeah, I hated turning him down, you know?

 Neil: You didn't burn any bridges over there, did you, dru?

 Dru: No. No, uh, jack talked about this and talked about that on and on, and I listened to his deal about some big project coming to jabot later in the year. And he wanted my numbers, I gave him my digits, and, you know, but I can't wait. I told sid that I want to work now, and, you know, I'm not waiting for anybody. That includes the abbotts.

 Neil: You know, sid stopped by today.

 Dru: He did?

 Neil: Yeah. Yeah, he told me about his cal

 Dru: Really?

 Neil: Yeah. The truth, drucilla, I know. I know the truth. I'm sorry.

 Neil: It's all right, baby.

 Chris: Perhaps this isn't such a good idea, us having such a heavy conversation.

 Paul: No, I don't mind. I have been carrying this weight around for months and just being here, listening to me, has helped me more than you know. You know when I said that I wasn't a true husband? It wasn't just in my thoughts that I was unfaithful. I'm ashamed to admit I acted out on the feelings that I had for my ex-wife.

 Chris: You did?

 Paul: It was the most confusing time of my life. I was constantly being blindsided by my emotion and there were moments when I thought I would lose it altogether.

 Paul: And then one night, the night of my son's baptism, if you can stomach that, I found myself alone with her. You know, that's a lie. I did not find myself alone with her. I put myself in a position where I was alone with her. And all these emotions came over me-- anger and jealousy, fear... and love. And I wanted to be with her more than I ever wanted to be with anyone, and you know something? For a brief moment, I thought she wanted that, too. It was like she was throwing a lifeline to a drowning man. But dididn't want to be rescued. Instead, I pulled it in. I held on to her, and I--I took her to the bottom with me.

 Paul: And I was so wrong. This was not what she wanted, and she made it clear enough for me to understand and stop. But I didn'T. No, I didn'T. I wanted to make love to her, but my emotions were out of control. To say it was the biggest mistake of my life would diminish the wrong. Because you don't do that to someone who had been your entire world, who loved you more than life itself. And who trusted you more than was possible.

 Paul: And then she was gone, and I couldn't say anything. Not that an apology would make up for anything that I had done.

 Paul: I just wanted her to know how much I regretted what happened. Maybe just so she could hear me say "I'm sorry." I'm sorry. I am so sorry, chris. I am so sorry.

 Nick: Cassie. Hey, sweetie, it's daddy. Now listen to me. Honey, you have to wake up, okay? We're looking for mommy, and she's gonna get here as fast as she can. Oh, she loves you. I know that you felt alone and confused when she left, but she loves you, and she's gonna tell you that just as soon as she gets here. And you know who else loves you? Noah. You know, he looks up to you. You're his best friend, and he needs you to read to him and help him with his homework the way you do. So you can't leave him either, all right? You asked me why all this is happening. The only thing I can tell you is that we let you down and that we're your parents. We're supposed to care for you and guide you. And we lost our way somewhere, and we couldn't find our way back. Cassie, I love you so much. I'd trade places with you right now if it meant that you'd live. I could. I swear it. Please... please, don't leave us. We need you. Don't die.
