Phyllis: Do I think I can handle being successful? Hmm?
Victoria: That's not what we're asking, phyllis, and you know it.
Neil: Um, I think what it boils down to is if you're with us, you're against jabot, you're against your husband.Phyllis: I really don't see it that way.
Victoria: That's the way it is.
Phyllis: My marriage isn't an issue here.Victoria: Can you honestly say that you wouldn't feel the least bit uncomfortable helping us bury jabot?
Phyllis: You guys,give me a break. We've gone tooth and nail with jabot for years.
Victoria: That's small change
compared to this.
Confidentiality, loyalty,they're gonna be crucial.
Phyllis: Okay, I want you to name one instance where sensitive information has left this company through my door, one instance where I've balked about being merciless totoward the competition.
Neil: Part of our con is you don't know the whole picture.
Victoria: The company we bought, the one that we're building round, we just snatched it away from jabot. We took right out of their hot little hands. Is: That's capitalism for you. Big deal. Happens all the time. The abbotts aren't babies. They'll get over it. I know jack will.
Victoria: I wouldn't
count on that,
not by a long shot.
Dru: Did I come at a bad time?
Ashley: You could say that.
Dru: Well, if this is about my contract, I'm not here to play hardball. I called because I'm so anxious to start working. Now we can finalize the deal, let's all--
Jack: We're not ready to discuss your contract, dru.
Dru: Why not?
Ashley: We're rethinking our offer.
Dru: Oh, I get it. You guys are gonna play hardball. Well, you know what? I think that's really counterproductive. Let's all get in the dinghy together. Let's all be reasonable, then we won't have a problem.
Jack: We already have
a problem, a big one.
Ashley: We're not trying to bargain with you, drucilla. We're qutitioning whether we want you to work for us at all.
Jill: Damn it, how could you have done this, larry? How could you have been so incredibly stupid?
Larry: Gosh, I guess that's just how I am.
Kay: Jill, this is really out of line--
Jill: I told you to shut up. This is between us.
Larry: Boy, you must really be high up on the throne today, huh, jill? What happened? Did someone die and make you queen of the world?
Kay: Pay her no heed.
Jill: You better pay me heed.
You know
how incredibly important
it is to me
to find my birth parents.
Kay: Oh.Jill: I told you, "leave this to somebody more experienced, leave it to somebody more shisticated." But no, no, you had to see if you could work that magic and pull my birth record out of your hat, and surprise, surprise, you fell on your face. And I got a phone call from that awful woman at the hospital threatening to call the police, larry. My god, we talked about this. There are laws against this.
Larry: Yeah, and I thought that we agreed that they were unfair.
Jill: Oh, larry,
you of all people
should know we play by the rules
whether they're fair or not.
God, now I gotta tell frederick.
I don't want to.
Larry: Oh, gosh. Whoo. We wouldn't want to upset mr. Frederick, now would we?
Jill: No, actually, larry, we wouldn'T.
Larry: Well, you make sure to tell that turkey how to find me, in case he wants to tell me how stupid I am, too.
Kay: That was ugly, jill. Very, very ugly.
Phyllis: Whoa, whoa, whoa, excuse me, jack is my husband. Where do you get off telling me how he'll react?
Neil: Phyllis, chill, okay? You're missing a lot of the details.
Phyllis: What are the details?
Victoria: Jabot wanted
to buy this company for months.
They have to be
totally caught off guard
that somebody outbid them
at the last minute.
Neil: Outbidding them substantially.
Victoria: They caved immediately. That has to be a bitter pill to swallow.
Neil: You better believe once they find out that we're the ones behind this, ooh, boy, it's gonna make them mad.
Phyllis: Okay, listen, listen, of course, guys, jack's gonna be aggravated, he'll be upset, but he knew when he married me I I was a free agent. He has zero control over my career.
Victoria: You really think he's gonna accept this without a fight?
Phyllis: I...
he's my husband.
I'll handle him.
He's no problem.
Victoria: You can guarantee he won't be a problem?
Phyllis: Victoria, I'm gonna say this slowly-- when I walk into this building or when I log on to my computer at home, I'm working, okay? For the duration. You get my talent, my expertise and my ferocious desire to win, and you know what? If, uh, you can handle that, maybe, just maybe, we have something to talk about.
Dru: Where's all this coming from?
Ashley: One word, trust, or actually lack of.
Dru: What?
Ashley: My one question
for you is were you
an active conspirator,
or was this just carelessness
on your part?
Either way, do you really think
we're gonna open ourselves up
to any more potential damage?
Dru: Whoa, whoa! "Conspirator"? Ashley, ifouou have something to say, put it on the damn table.
Jack: The company we were negotiating to buy, satine, was to be the cornerstone of this new line of cosmetics. As of about an hour ago, the deal fell through. Newman bought it out from under us.
Dru: And that would be my fault?
Jack: You're the only outsider we could think of who knew this inside information.
Dru: Jack abbott, as I live and breathe, I have no idea what you're talking about.
Ashley: Oh, would you please
just cut the act?
I told you all about it.
Dru: When?
Ashley: You don't remember our little one-on-one discussion awhile back?
Jack: And then you went to neil, and neil went straight to the newmans.
Ashley: Any of this
starting to ring a bell?
Good afternoon. A piece of edmonton's history went up in
flames last night. A massive
fire destroyed several
buildings last night. Here's a
live look at the scenecrews
are cleaning up after the fire
tore through the area along
whyte avenue and 104th street.
Tonight at six - we'll have
reaction from business owners
in t a area. Plus, we'll take
a look back at the colourfull
history of whyte avenuewe'll
be broadcasting live from the
scene - be sure to join us for
extensive coverage coming up
tonight on
Jill: Stop it, katherine. He had it coming. I told him to let frederick help me.
Kay: And because larry did not obey your orders, he gets a tongue-lashing like I just witnessed?
Jill: Oh, my god, this is a very emotional time for me. I've just found out I'm adopted after living my whole life thinking I was somebody else.
Kay: Please, please, don't you think you've gotten enough mileage out of being adopted?
Jill: You don't understand. Frederick told me that if we don't play by the rules, we might never get a judge to give us access to the information I need.
Kay: And you would
have to go back
to having elizabeth foster
as your mother.
Now that's a shame.
What a shame.
Jill: How can i explain this to you? I have a wonderful relationship with liz, okay? It's one that I cherish, and nothing I have learned has changed what we mean to each other. On the other hand, I have two people somewhere out there who actually made me. You know, biologically, nenetically. So we got one thing over here and one thing over there. Would you please stop mixing them together to make me out to be some ungrateful creep?
Kay: I did not say
that you were ungrateful.
I said you are using
this being adopted
to say terrible things to a man
who cares deeply for you
and simply wants to help you, jill.
Jill: Yeah, but I don't need that kind of help.
Kay: Oh, my dear, you need much more help than you will ever realize.
Dru: Yeah, I remember that conversation. In fact, I re--
Ashley: Thanks to your big mouth, neil remembered, too.
Jack: We know you two are living together. You don't remember mentioning this to neil?
Dru: Jack, if I did, it was in passing, that you might have a job for me.
Ashley: Oh, so I see, nothing about "new line" or "acquisition" happened to escape your lips?
Dru: Yeah, all right, okay,
I mentioned the modeling,
you know, the new cosmetics line
for african-american women,
and neil said
that newman enterprises
was thinking
of something similar.
That's--
Ashley: Gee, what a coincidence?
Dru: Well, it could have been, and by the by, when you and i had that conversation, you never mentioned confidentiality.
Ashley: I've heard enough, haven't you?
Dru: How much of this is personal, ashley, huh? From the get-go, you have not wanted me to be a part of this campaign, and now you're twisting and turning everything to get rid of me. Jack, do you see what I'm dealing with?
Jack: We'll be in touch, dru.
Dru: Oh, so you're gonna call me? All right.
Ashley: Well,
I'll resist the urge
to say "I told you so."
Jack: Thank you.
Ashley: (Sighs) back to square one where a spokesperson is concerned, but I do have a few ideas.
Jack: Just a minute. I think we need to discuss this.
Neil: Our success will be at jabot's expense. It's a direct correlation.
Phyllis: They're not our sole competitor, guys.
Neil: That's true, but they are the company that we intend to target for many reasons.
Phyllis: None of them being personal, of course.
Victoria: See? That's just the type of attitude that we're concerned about.
Neil: Okay, vicki, vicki, vicki.
The two competing divisions
will be similarly sized,
in a similar position
to own this segment.
It's the only way to realize
significant profits.
Whichever company
fails to achieve that,
our analysis shows,
it's highly possible
they'll have to scrap
the entire line.
Victoria: Which means they'll have to eat their entire up-front investment.
Neil: The difference being newman has the cash reserves to take that risk. Jabot's in hock up to their eyeballs.
Victoria: Price of independence.
Neil: So now do you see where we're coming from? We're talking about a major blow to the abbotts' company, one they'll have a tough time weathering if they don't come out on top.
Victoria: If you're on our team, you will be one of the people that's trying to make sure that they don'T. Are you sure you can handle that?
Phyllis: It really
sticks in your craw,
making me this offer,
doesn't it?
But you're making it,
which tells me, um,
that victor made you realize
you can't afford to lose me.
You don't want me working
for the opposition
'cause of all the skill I have.
Neil: Phyllis, knowing what you know now, are you willing to put yourself in this position?
Phyllis: For the last time, yes.
Neil: Okay. Welcome back aboard.
Phyllis: Thank you. Always a pleasure. See you at work tomorrow.
Victoria: I hope we don't live to regret this.
Where we belong!
Larry: What are you looking at, man?
Cody: Oh, spot on this glass. What, you off work today?
Larry: Yeah, I clocked out early.
Cody: You want to talk about it, larry?
Larry: Sure. What's that that they say about doing good deeds?
Cody: Never goes unpunished?
Larry: Yeah. You know, you try and help someone out and you do the best that you can and your heart's into it. Somehow it goes sour, but no one's hurt. Now is that a reason to get reamed out?
Cody: That depends.
Larry: You know, if you're gonna be all reasonable, cody, don't even bother talking to me.
Cody: What I meant to say was you got a raw deal, man.
Larry: You're damn, damn right.
Cody: Yeah, I mean, you meant well. You should get some appreciation.
Larry: Damn right again.
Cody: At least not yelled at.
Larry: You know,
you're getting the idea now.
Cody: Let me guess--this, uh, this lady you've been seeing-- jill abbott.
Larry: Ah, that's the woman with one big mouth, two big lungs and one big, nasty attitude.
Cody: What the heck did you do?
Larry: You know, you think you know someone, you know, you been through a lot of stuff together, you've hammered out a few issues, you think you've earned their respect, and then all of a sudden they... they say stuff to you like, like, "whoa!" You know, if she thinks that she can talk to me like that, apparently we are not watching the same movie.
Cody: The thing about women,
yoknknow, they get mad,
they say things.
Larry: Yeah? Well, I sure hope it's worth it to her. So when she starts looking for loving again, when she gets tired of dealing with the same old stuffed suit, she's gonna come snooping around, and she's gonna find that ain't nobody home.
Cody: You sure about that?
Larry: One thing I've learned in this life, you give someone a second chance, they'll take advantage of you. Nope, not anymore. One too many times, little sweetie. That's it, jill. Nice knowing you.
Kay: So what was that all about-- frederick hodges?
Jill: He's lplping me find
my birth parents.
Kay: Is that all?
Jill: Yes, katherine, that's all.
Kay: Well, larry was helping you, too.
Jill: Larry doesn't know how to help me.
Kay: Jill, how much damage did he really do?
Jill: Who knows? The point is, it's not his problem. He should have stayed the hell out of it.
Kay: Ah, you see, jill, now that's something you don't understand and you never will. When you care for someone deeply, their problems beco y your problems.
Jill: And which one of the 12 steps is that? Would you spare me, please?
Kay: And I'm surprised,
I-I really, I am sure
it surprises larry
as much as it does you,
but he really likes you.
Jill: And I like him, too. I just don't like getting calls from irate bureaucrats threatening to send me to jail.
Kay: Do you have any idea how different larry's life has been from yours and mine?
Jill: Don't preach at me.
Kay: Ah.
Jill: I realize you took larry in and you gave him a home, katherine's one-woman, save-an-ex-con campaign, but you don't really know him.
Kay: I wonder if you have any idea what prison is like at all, what kind of life larry must have had before he went to prison. I wager it was rather bleak.
Jill: Well,
my life is bleak, too,
particularly at this moment,
listening to you
flap your gums.
Kay: You're avoiding the issue, jill.
Jill: What issue?
Kay: A man like larry does not give easily. He probably thinks giving is for suckers. He doesn't go out ofisis way to give anything to anyone unless there is something in it for him, and just to hell with the other guy.
Jill: You've been watching too many old gangster movies.
Kay: Look at me.
Are you really that insensitive?
Hmm?
You know,
larry is still out on parole,
and from all I gather,
this talk about the police,
do you understand,
doing what he did, it--
he could havgogotten
into a lot of hot water for you?
Jill: Oh, my god. I didn't ask him to do it.
Kay: Well, and he deserves to be pistol-whipped, jill?
Jill: Was I that rough on him?
Kay: Do you not know?
Jill: I just wanted him to understand.
Kay: Oh, he understood all right, that you wouldn't treat a dog like you treated him.
Jill: (Sighs)
Kay: Shape up, jill. Lalarry is the only man who's given you the time of day in ages. Act like you appreciate it... because you damn well should... damn well should.
Jill: (Sighs) (knock on door)Victoria: Hey, I was hoping you'd be back.
Victor: I thought
that you and neil
would still be in here.
Victoria: No, the war room has been retired for the day.
Victor: Got good news for me, or what?
Victoria: I want to hear your news first. You went to the hospital. How's cassie?
Ashley: Come on, jack, what is there to discuss?
Jack: I didn't want to debate this in front of drucilla, but I think the prospect of hiring her on here should not be a dead issue.
Ashley: Oh, please!
Jack: Listen to me. This is an important decision. I still maintain drucilla is perfect for the job we have in mind.
Ashley: We can't find
another personality out there
that would serve our purposes
just as well?
Jack: Drucilla is a force of nature. She has that sparkle, that special--
Ashley: Oh!
Jack: Undefinable something that--it's what made her such a success in europe.
Ashley: Yeah, granted, maybe she has some strange kind of charisma--
Jack: I'm also believing her story. If she did leak anything to neil, she did so unintentionally.
Ashley: Okay, all right, let's assume you're-- let's assume you're right there, okay? At the very least we are dealing with a loose canon, jack, a loose canon who is living with the newman V.P.
Jack: I'd like to think
after what happened today,
drucilla would have learned
her lesson.
Ashley: Oh, you give her a lot more credit than I ever would.
Jack: You know, the more that I think about this, the more I think we have to take this risk. Drucilla brings a lot to the party, especially now that we have to start this damn thing from scratch.
Ashley: I cannot get on board with this. The whole thing just reeks of conflict of interest.
Jack: You're sounding like the newmans now, talking to phyllis.
Ashley: No, no.
Jack: You're looking for any lame excuse to fire her.
Ashley: Jack, that was
so completely different.
They were accusing her
of betraying them,
and drucilla has betrayed us.
Jack: We can't blame this whole thing on drucilla! I should have seen this coming. We should never have been blindsided! This is vintage newman!
Ashley: I don't think he was involved. He's been so totally distracted--
Jack: You don't think he was involved?
Ashley: Cassie--
Jack: This was a deliberate,
malicious act of sabotage.
Okay, let's say
he just happened to want to add
to his cosmetics line.
He had any number of ways
of doing that.
No, he went for the jugular.
We've seen this before, ash.
This is cls sic newman,
and if you think
this is the end of it,
you're kidding yourself.
Dru: (Sighs) "ten easy ways to wipe ten years off your face." Who comes up with this stupid stuff? Clowns. (Key turns in the door lock)
Neil: Hey, baby. You're home. Good.
Dru: Yeah, why wouldn't I be?
Neil: Uh, no reason. How'd you like to go out dancing?
Dru: Tonight?
Neil: Yeah, tonight. Why don't you go find a sexy dress, and we'll go paint the town?
Dru: I dot think so.
Neil: If you're worried
about me still being
in recovery
and you think I'm gonna
go hit the bar scene,
don't be.
Being with you
is intoxicating enough.
Dru: I'm really not in the mood, neil.
Neil: Don't you even want to help me celebrate?
Dru: Celebrate what?
Neil: Oh, my goodness, you're gonna get a kick out of this. We caught the big brass ring at work today. Aren't you curious what I'm talking about?
Dru: Satine cosmetics, the company you snatched out from under jabot.
Neil: Snatched? How do you know about that?
Dru: I know all about your sneaky maneuvers. I know the role I played in it, and I think I have a big mouth, which I regret.
Victor: I wish I could tell you there's been some breakthrough.
Victoria: But
there hasn't been?
Cassie, there's--
there's no change with her?
Victor: No. The longer she remains in this state-- unresponsive-- the less of a chance for full recovery.
Victoria: And still no word from sharon?
Victo n no, unfortunately not.
Victoria: Damn that woman. For nicholas to have to go through this alone--
Victor: Sweetheart, he's not going through it alone.
Victoria: Cassie needs her mother.
Victor: I don't think her mother has any idea what happened.
Victoria: No, of course she doesn't, but maybe if she picked up the phone and called she might.
Victor: Victoria, please.
Victoria: No, come on, dad.
How can you defend her?
Nicholas is suffering.
Victor: We're all suffering. So tell me about the deal, did it go through?
Victoria: Yeah, about an hour ago.
Victor: Why didtt you tell me? Congratulations.
Victoria: Do you really mean that, or do you still think I'm making a big mistake?
Jill: I thought that you'd be stopping by here.
Larry: Yeah, I, uh, came to get my things.
Jill: Yeah, I can see that.
Larry: So what the hell are you doing home dressed like that?
Jill: Well, I have to get back to the office at some point, but I wanted to spend some time with you.
Larry: (Laughs)
yeah, right. Get real.
Jill: Larry, larry, please don't go.
Larry: Jill, if this is about an apology, you can just forget it.
Jill: Well, it is.
Larry: You know what? People apologize to get out of trouble, but nothing changes. They just try a little harder next time not to get busted, and today... well, today you showed me your real colors, and it isn't the first time. So you know what? Let's just call it a day.
Jill: No, please, let's not.
Come on,
I really want to show you
how badly I feel,
and how good
I can make you feel.
Good afternoon. A
[
Phyllis: Hey.
Jack: Hey, hey. What are you doing here?
Phyllis: Ohh!
Is that any way to greet your very grateful wife?
Jack: What are you grateful for?
Phyllis: I am grateful because you were so sweet to me earlier when I was upset.
Jack: Um, you know, look, don't take this the wrong way, I-- I've had a lousy morning, and I'm just not in the mood to be kissy right now.
Phyllis: What happened? Why?
Jk:K: Business.
Phyllis: Oh... and I'm still not in the loop, right?
Jack: Maybe once I've had
a chance to lick my wounds, huh?
Phyllis: Oh, okay. I won't hold my breath.
Phyllis: Okay, I'm gonna put the cards on the table here. Um, I also came over because I figured you would need some comforting.
>>Acack: How would you know that?
Phyllis: Because I know. I know about that acquisition that you wanted that didn't go through.
Jack: How did you find out?
Victor: I w hoping that you and I had gone beyond all this acrimony.
Victoria: I'm sorry. I guess I'm just on edge.
Victor: But why are you on edge? You got everything you wanted.
Victoria: I know. Without a fight, if you can believe that.
Victor: You mean
jabot didn't counter?
Victoria: I guess 25 million is just a little too rich for their blood.
Victor: So once we dot the I's and cross the t's, satine cosmetics will be part of newman enterprises.
Victoria: My marketing staff is already in high gear.
Victor: You seem happy about it.
Victoria: I am happy about it. This was a good business move. We will fifinitely be able to hit the market quicker.
Victor: What about the web site component?
Victoria: Now is that your clever way of asking if we talked to phyllis?
Victor: Yes. Did you?
Victoria: She's back. You happy?
Victor: I don't know
if I'm happy or not,
but obviously you aren'T.
Victoria: I don't like having my decisions questioned.
Victor: Why did you reinstate her if you had questions about the points I made?
Victoria: Look, let's not get into it, all right? I am gonna keep an eye on that woman. She was so blasé about her relationship with jack abbott and how it will affect her ability to go after jabot. Personally, I think she's in for a rude awakening when this starts getting nasty, and it will, fast, which you know. Or has that been your plan all along?
Larry: Mmm.
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Oh, god, that feels good.
Ohh. Ha ha.
Man, the way those
strong little fists of yours
dig into that muscle.
Jill: Of which there is plenty.
Larry: Mmm. Man, it is sore, too. (Knock on door)
Jill: What's the matter?
Larry: Uh, who's that?
Jill: Well, it should be esther.
Larry: And how does she fit into this?
Jill: Food. Lunch. Thank you, esther. We'll be down in awhile. What is the matter with you? Why are you so jumpy?
Larry: It's nothing.
Jill: It's that mrs. French, isn't it? What she said about calling the police?
Larry: It's not exactly music to my ears.
Jill: You took such a big risk for me.
Larry: It turned out okay.
Jill: I'm glad you didn't get in any trouble.
Larry: Look, look, hold on a minute, okay? I don't want any misunderstanding here. Yeah, yeah, I love a back rub, and if you want to give me one, I'll take it, and a man's gotta eat, too, so if you want to give me lunch, I'll take that, too, but I'm telling you--
Jill: But I shouldn't get any ideas, right? (Sighs) I shouldn't think that maybe I could make up to you for what I did and for the inexcusable way I spoke to you.
Larry: No.

Ready for turkey tuesday?
Phyllis: Well, after we talked, I went to the coffeehouse because I wanted to get my bearings, and, um, I saw drucilla winters. We had a very interesting chat.
Jack: About what?
Phyllis: About how jabot and newman enterprises are starting up competing lines of cosmetics.
Jack: Drunenew this morning what newman was up to?
Phyllis: About the acquisition, are you saying? No, I mean, not that I'm aware of.
Jack: Okay, go on.
Phyllis: Well, she was mainly talking about being the spokeswoman for jabot. She was walking on phyllis. I'm asking you to trust me.
Phyllis: No, you're asking
me to ditch my career!
Jack: No, I am not. Come aboard. We can use you.
Phyllis: Oh, really? Just like that.
Jack: This is a blessing in disguise. These people just fired you. You have no obligation to go back there.
Phyllis: I'd be a little impressed by your offer, but it sounds more like an ultimatum.
Jack: You know what? Maybe it is.
Phyllis: Really? Then I think it's a little more healthy that we don't work under the same roof. Thanks for the offer, okay?
Jack: Phyllis, I'm serious about this.
Phyllis: So am I, jack!
It's too bad that I have
a little more faith
in your ability to go
head-to-head with
newman enterprises than you do.
Phyllis: See you at home.
Neil: Whoa, whoa, back up. Explain that, dru.
Dru: Gladly. Remember the job offer that jack and ashley had on the table?
Neil: Yeah.
Dru: Turns out, it was more than modeling. They wanted me to be their spokeswoman for the entire line.
Neil: Spokeswoman--
Dru: Spokeswoman.
Neil: Did that have something to do with the conversation we had when you tried to convince me to give you a bigger role at newman enterprises?
Dru: Precisely.
Neil: Why didn't you tell me about the jabot offer?
Dru: Because I knew you'd be against it, neil.
Neil: So were you planning
on telling me well
after the fact or what?
Dru: Don't worry. The whole offer has been rescinded, which means you really do have something to celebrate now.
Neil: Oh, come on, dru, you make it sound like I enjoy your misfortune.
Dru: No, no, no, no. It's all my fault. I'm responsible completely, but just answer me this-- did you go to newman after we had our talk?
Neil: It might've gotten me to focus on the idea, yes.
Dru: So I did shoot myself in the foot, and you loaded the gun.
Neil: Drucilla, I don't see why you're so upset. You can still come and work at newman enterprises.
Dru: Gee, print ads. Thank you. Wow.
Neil: Well, it could lead
to more. You never know.
Dru: You know what I think? I think that you have no interest in me re-igniting my career. In fact, you'd prefer if it just wound down to diddly-squat.
Neil: I understand your disappointment, dru. But I'm telling you, the outcome of this will be absolutely terrific.
Dru: You're really cooking my grits. You know that?
Neil: I'm telling you, it will be for the best-- for lily's sake and for ours. Now it's been a long day, I'm tired. I'm gonna go get a shower, okay? (Telephone rings)
Dru: Yeah?
Jack: Drucilla, jack abbott.
Dru: Jack!
Jack: We've reconsidered.
Dru: Reconsidered what?
Jack: The job.
If you still want it,
it's yours.
Dru: Oh, my god. Of course I still want it, jack.
Jack: Good. I'll arrange a time for you to see a detailed proposal and sign a contract. We'll be in touch.
