Mac: There, that's better, grandma.
Mac: Now... I'm not sure I heard you correctly.
Jill: Oh, mackenzie, don't be dense. If just once you had gotten down off your high horse and listened to me, maybe you wouldn't be in this mess. Look, I want to say some things to you, and I'm not gonna sugarcoat them.
Mac: Why would you, jill? It's not like you ever had a kind word for me.
Jill: But I had my reasons, don't you see? I sensed that you were wrong for my son. I mean, I knew it from the first day I saw you. That's why I've never liked you.
Mac: Wrong, jill. You never liked me because you are a callous, self-centered witch, and you knew you couldn't compete with me for billy. You disgust me.
Jill: Mackenzie, don't you see? It was intuition. It was fate telling us loud and clear that you could never have my son. (Knock on door)
Jack: Billy? (Knock)
Jack: Hey. Hey, we've been trying to call you.
Billy: Yeah, I know. The phone kept ringing.
Jack: You been here all night?
Billy: Yeah, here, alone.
Jack: Billy, look at me. Billy. Billy, look at me.
Jack: I am here to help you. Is there anybody I can call for you?
Billy: Like who?
Billy: I'm okay. I just-- I just don't know what to do.
Billy: You know, uh, my wife? She's my cousin, jack.
Dru: Damon. Damon. Oh, well.
Dru: Hi. Hi. Um, wow, this is so much stuff here. Uh, how come this doesn't smell? It has no fragrance.
Damon: Oh, that's what we call a neutral ingredient.
Dru: Really?
Damon: Yeah.
Dru: Well, ,, I hope you don't mind that i was sort of snooping around.
Damon: Knock yourself out.
Dru: I'm really curious.
Damon: It's your lab, too.
Dru: Ooh, you better not let ashley hear you say that.
Sharon: So you're just gonna leave now?
Nick: I have a lot to do.
Sharon: Did you hear anything I said?
Nick: Yeah, every word.
Sharon: Do you at least believe me? Can you give me that much?
Nick: Believe what, that all you ever felt for my dad were feelings toward a father figure?
Sharon: That's the truth, nicholas.
Nick: All right, put yourself in my shoes. Let's say it was you who walked by that window, seeing what I saw. Would you believe what you are telling me?
Victoria: So I've outlined the latest agreement, with changes in--
Phyllis: Good, your both here. You need to hear this. Where do I sta??
Victoria: What?
Victor: We are in the middle of something. Don't you ever barge in here like this again,you got that?
Phyllis: We're in trouble, victor. You need to know that. Satine cosmetics is in trouble.
Billy: All of our dreams-- building a life together and finishing hohool, kids someday, it's-- they're all gone. Yesterday I was looking at a bright new future. Now it's over.
Jack: Yeah, look, I'm-- I'm sure it's quite a shock.
Billy: I had a plan. I had-- our futures were all mapped out. It was gonna be mac and me from here on out. It's so damn frustrating. We fought so hard to get married. We waited so long--
Jack: Billy, now it's a good thing you waited.
Billy: But to find out the way that we did, right before we're-- before we're about to make love for the first time? I loved her so much, and now what? I just--I don't know.
Jack: Billy, thin h happen for a reason.
Billy: Don't give me any philosophical platitudes right now, jack.
Jack: That's not what I'm doing. I'm just saying that sometimes looking at a bigger picture is the only way we get through things like this.
Billy: I just loved her so much. We were so perfect together. I--
Jack: I know, I know. Phyllis and I had such hopes for the two of you.
Billy: We had everything planned-- our--our whole lives, from this day out-- we had it planned. These last months, getting ready for the wedding and making plans for the future, I had never been so happy before. I finally felt like my life was coming together.
Jack: Billy, I know this isililling you. Hell, it's killing me watching you. Eventually, though, you're gonna have to put this behind you. You're gonna have to chart a new course, your own course.
Billy: How? The only real plans I've ever had in my life are all about mac. Now I'm supposed to just blink my eyes and see everything differently? How am I supposed to do that?
Jack: I don't know. God, I wish I could tell you.
Billy: Yeah, yeah, jack, I do, too.
Jack: God, it is a mind-blower. Jill and katherine chancellor...
Billy: Yeah... and now I'm paying the price. The woman I love-- the woman I married turns out to be my cousin. I don't know what the hell to do withhahat.
Mac: You are the cruelest, most insensitive, most selfish person I've ever met.
Jill: I am not saying these things to hurt you.
Mac: Do you even care that you have a son out there going through hell right now?
Jill: You leave him out of this.
Mac: Why, because you can't face what a lousy mother you've been?
Jill: All right, look, I have made mistakes, and they have been big mistakes, but I'm paying for them now, all right?
Mac: Yes, you are, jill. You e getting exactly what you deserve-- a thther who hates you as much as you hate her, and a son who's never gonna want to see you again.
Jill: How do you know that?
Mac: You always wanted us apart. So now you've won. You got what you wanted, but I know billy still loves me, and seeing you is only gonna remind him of what he's lost and how much you hated me. You'll be lucky if you see him once a year at christmas.
Jill: Oh, my god, why does this have to be so ugly?
Mac: Atat's wrong, jill? Too nasty when you're the one taking the abuse? Is it a little easier to dish it out than it is to take it? Well, hold on to your hat because I am not through yet.
Damon: Volatilized in less than a minute. 1/2 C.C. Evaporated after 3 minutes at 110 degrees.
Damon: So is there anything you'd like me to demonstrate or explain?
Dru: Uh, well, this looks like an after-work cocktail. (Laughs)
Damon: No, no, no, no, I don't believe you would like to drink that. That is a solution of indole. It's very funky stuff.
Dru: Whoa.
Damon: Did I tell you?
Dru: You actually put this in our products?
Damon: Well, now a fragrance can't be all sweet, can it? You know, you use a whole spectrum.
Dru: Kind of like a person, but still, this is stank.
Damon: Don't worry. I only use a little.
Dru: Do you have something that smells good? You know...
Damon: Well, now I just might. I was about to try something.
Dru: Well, can I be of service?
Damon: Yeah. Why don't you hop up on that counter, and let me have access to your, uh... ankles. this is t there on global - I'm seanna collins. This will
Jack: Billy, when it hurts less, and it will hurt less, maybe the two of you can establish a different relationship. Not the one you're dreaming of, but one that's meaningful and... and helpful and full of strength.
Billy: You mean like best friends? Loving mac like I do, I don't think we'd ever get to that point, jack.
Jack: Give it time.
Billy: The thing is, time doesn't heal all wounds. I'm sure it's not gonna fix this one.
Jack: Billy, get your stuff.
Billy: What?
Jack: I'm taking you home with me. I don't want you here alone. You need to be with people.
Billy: No, no, what I need are answers...
Jack: No, billy--
Billy: And there's only one place that I can get 'em, jack. I've got to find her.
Jack: Billy...
Lauren: And there he is, ladies and gentlemen, eye candy for women everywhere.
Brad: Watch that now. I'm a married man.
Lauren: Not to worry, I have my memories to keep me warm at night.
Brad: What are you doing here anyway?
Lauren: You called a meeting.
Brad: I called a meeting for the buyers from the top department stores, and as I recall, joyce resnik is fenmore's buyer.
Lauren: Aha, but you see, my luck, joyce is in hawaii, and when I found out that you were running this shindig, I thought, well, who better to fill in?
Brad: Well, good. That ought to spice things up a bit.
Lauren: Oh, and how's that?
Brad: You've never been shy about expressing your opinion.
Lauren: Is that good or bad?
Brad: I'll tell you after the meeting.
Lauren: You know, the buzz on tuvia's pretty exciting.
Brad: What have you heard about newman's satine?
Lauren: My sources are telling me that it's dying on the vine. Inacact, some of my store managers are already pulling it off the shelves.
Brad: Oh, that is music to my ears.
Lauren: Not so fast. You know, once the newman ad blitz begins, and they roll out the new packaging, things could change. In fact, I think jabot could be in for quite a horse race.
Brad: We'll see about that.
Victor: So you're saying satine cosmetics weren't displayed at all?
Neil: Not at the fenmore's counter.
Phyllis: Yes, and when i specifically asked the clerk to purchase some, she acted like she barely knew what I was talking about.
Neil: Victor, get this, said we should wait until jabot's tuvia line comes out.
Victoria: What? You've got to be kidding.
Phyllis: Would we barge in here if we weren't serious?
Neil: You know, we went over there after checking out the latest sales figures.
Phyllis: Yeah, I'm sure you all know we're tanking, especially in the department store segment.
Victoria: Phyllis, for god's sake, we haven't done any marketing yet. The products that are still on the shelves are old products with old packaging. They are nothing like what we're going to be delivering.
Phyllis: Well, victoria, let me tell you, by the time we're ready to deliver, there won't be any market because jabot will already have sucked everything dry while we stand around twiddling our thumbs.
Nick: You still haven't answered my question.
Sharon: It's not that easy.
Nick: Well, at least you're being honest.
Sharon: I know how much it hurt you, what you saw that day.
Nick: Sharon, I've never felt so betrayed in my whole life. It was my father and the woman I love.
Sharon: So you-- you just decided to turn your back, to shut it all out, shut me out?
Nick: Remind me why we're going through this again.
Sharon: Because I hope that you'll be able to put all this behind you.
Nick: Well, like I said before, it's just not that simple.
Sharon: I know. I understand that. Look, there are a few things that I need to try to put behind me, too, like grace turner, for example...
Sharon: But I am willing to try. I'm not so sure I can say the same for you. Er's here butso is the pressure.
Lauren: You seem very confident. So tell me more.
Brad: Well, as the meeting--
Jack: Let's get started. Come on in.
Brad: Welcome, everyone.
Jack: Anne. There you are, bruce.
Brad: Allow me.
Woman: Thank you.
Brad: Sure.
Jack: Lauren, for you, my dear.
Lauren: Thank you.
Jack: There you are. Please, have a seat. As you can see, we have a few treats for all of you.
Brad: In your folders, you'll find promotional material on tuvia. Both cosmetics, which we will be introducing shortly, and skin care products, which are in development.
Jack: In the unlikely event you all don't already know each other, let me work my way around the table-- marcia thomas from nationwide stores, bruce norris from J.C. Bashford's, anne phelps from carson-dales, and lauren fenmore from the fenmore stores.
Brad: I'm sure you're all wondering why we've asked you here today.
Bruce: I flew in from new york. Better be worth it.
Jack: It will be worth it, bru. Listen, we all go back a long way. You or the companies that you represent have been dealing with my family for, well, as long as I can remember. We're about to embark together on a new project, a line of cosmetics for women of color.
Marcia: We're anxious to get the product on the shelves.
Jack: You will not be disappointed, marcia, I promise you.
Anne: I'm sure we can count on jabot coming up with a big winner.
Bruce: This stuff looks terrific.
Jack: Let me be very clear about this. We intend to give newman's satine cosmetics line a run for its money. In your folders there, you will find pre-marketing surveys as well as information about some of our future products.
Bruce: Newman's going to launch a heavy marketing campaign.
Marcia: That's what I hear, too.
Jack: Right, and that will stir some immediate demand. We believe very firmly though, that jabot's class and reputation will win out in the end. The tuvia line will do just fine.
Brad: What jack said about jabot's long history with your stores is true. Now the foundation of our relationship is one based on trust and mutual respect. Because of that, I'm going to be blunt. Jabot isn't going to be satisfied with doing, as jack just said, "just fine." We intend k kick some serious butt competing with newman's line, and we expect-- no, make that we demand-- your support in doing just that.
Victor: For your information, at this company, we don't sit around twiddling our thumbs.
Phyllis: I shouldn't have said that.
Victor: Now satine cosmetics always had a respectable share of the market, especially in department stores. Now you're telling me that sales have dried up overnight. It doesn't make any sense. Unless, of course, jabot knows what we're up to.
Neil: Victor, are you talking about corporate espionage?
Victor: All of you know it is a do or die situation with jabot, considering their extraordinary amount of debt.
Phyllis: Why is everyone looking at me? Oh, please... I'm not the only one connected to somebody who works at jabot.
Neil: Well, come on, it's not me. Nothing's leaked through me. I mean, not teter everything that's happened recently. What are you talk--
Victoria: It's not you we're worried about neil, it's that woman you live with.
Victor: All right, this is not about pointing fingers, all right? Phyllis is right. We cannot allow the market to disappear before we roll out our new line.
Victoria: Look, we have a huge media blitz planned. You signed off on it. It's spectacular stuff, not to mention the new packaging-- it's cutting edge, and all the plans that we have for our rollout-- now is not the time to be pressing panic buttons, which our friend phyllis is doing.
Phyllis: Wait a second, wait a second, are you kidding me? Can't you see we're running out of time? I care about the future of this company, victor. We lost damon porter, we don't have an r & d genius like jabot has, we're being shut out from department store shelves. All of those sales have already dried up before we've begun.
Victor: You uncovered something that needs to be looked at. Thank you both for bringing this to our attention.
Neil: May I ask what you're gonna do?
Victor: We're gonna fight fire with fire. Thank you for coming by. That'll be all.
Victor: Victoria, I would like a minute with you.
Victoria: Sure.
Mac: It's so heartbreaking, grandma being like this.
Mac: You don't even care, do you? You don't care, and you're her daughter.
Jill: Oh, please, don't remind me.
Mac: Maybe there's a reason my grandmother gave you away. She knew you'd only bring heartbreak to her life.
Jill: Mackenzie, she conceived me out of wedlock, all right, while she was married to another man. It was a predictable outcome.
Mac: Promise me you won't be cruel to her. Jill, I want your word. You despise me, but don't take it out on my poor grandma, your mother.
Jill: I won't be cruel to her, hmm?
Mac: Maybe you two could finally start to understand each other.
Jill: Oh, I doubt that.
Mac: One more thing...
Mac: I do love your son, more than anything, and, you know, I almost feel sorry for you because I don't think you've loved anyone, not really, not even billy. Your life is going to be very empty, jill. All you want is people you could push around, people you can mold, make them be or do what you want.
Jill: And you're not one of those.
Mac: I'm not, and neither is your so you know, the only good thing that's come out of this is that I never have to deal with you ever again.
Jill: Mackenzie, don't go.
Jill: It's true, I have never liked you, and, yes, I have been very unfair to you... but it's because I wanted what was best for billy.
Mac: And that wasn't me.
Jill: I know how much you've loved him, and I know how much he loves you, as much as it kills me to admit it... but you're wrong about one thing. I know about loving, and I know about losing... and what you're going through right now-- this hell-- I wouldn't wish it on anybody.
Dru: Ooh, my feet are so sensitive. Ooh.
Damon: Mm-hmm. I'm just trying to get the blood circulating a little.
Dru: Yeah, well, you circulate that blood. I used to be a dancer, and we love foot rubs. Just take off the shoe and just get into the...
Damon: All right, all right.
Dru: Metatarsal arch.
Damon: Maybe we'll schedule that.
Dru: Okay.
Damon: Right now we're testing perfume.
Dru: Oh, okay.
Damon: Now... right here...
Dru: Uh-huh.
Damon: Your ankle bone...
Dru: Yeah.
Damon: The circulation tends to be very low.
Dru: Really?
Damon: Yeah. The foot is also an area of low P.H.
Dru: Low p--low-- I'm sorry. Low what?
Damon: A little more acidity than the skin on, say, your... neck.
Dru: Oh. Mm-hmm.
Damon: Let's just leave this alone for a minute.
Dru: All right.
Dru: I don't--you know what? I'm not-- I'm not smelling anything.
Damon: Well, that's because these are new undertones I've been working on. They're subtle, quirky, unexpected.
Dru: Well, if that's how you're trying to develop these fragrances, you will not have a problem.
Damon: Let's try this.
Dru: All right. Aren't you gonna do the whole rub? You know, the whole thing?
Damon: No. We don't want this one heated as much by circulation.
Dru: I see.
Damon: We'll leave that alone.
Dru: Okay.
Damon: All right, here we go.
Dru: Okay.
Dru: Smell anything?
Damon: The .05 solution of aldehyde c14 and verdex is too strong at minus 3.
Dru: Minus 3? Right.
Dru: Uh-huh.
Damon: At minus 5...
Dru: Minus 5?
Damon: Less aldehyde c14 will work, but still a bit too fruity.
Dru: Too fruity? But fruity's good, right? I have fruity ankles?
Damon: Yeah. No one will know it unless they get right down next to them.
Dru: Mm-hmm. You know, before I forget, I brought a folder down here to go-- oh, shoot, I'm outta time.
Damon: Wasn't time wasted, now was it?
Dru: No, it was not, um, but I wanted to get your input on something before I show it to the troops tomorrow.
Damon: When, where?
Dru: Um, how about if i schedule a nice dinner meeting?
Damon: Sure.
Dru: Yeah, yves' bistro okay?
Damon: Don't know it, but if you say it's good--
Dru: It's very good. 112 lakeshore drive. 7:30?
Damon: Okay.
Dru: Great, and if you can't find me, you know, just, um, sniff around. I'm the one with the sexy, fruity feet, and thanks for the foot rub.
And here he's -- he's1 player, right?!
Jack: Well, you don't mince words, do you, bradley?
Brad: I shouldn't have to, jack. With the money jabot's generated for the stores you people represent, we've earned the right to make certain... requests.
Marcia: What exactly do you have in mind, mr. Carlton?
Brad: Well, it's quite simple really. We expect tuvia's products and promotional material to get the best placement on your store counters.
Anne: Same as for your established lines, you mean?
Brad: That's right, and marketing blitz or not, we don't want to see satine be given any priority, anywhere, anytime, ever. Do I make myself perfectly clear?
Bruce: That sounds like a threat, carlton.
Jack: Bruce, you've worked with us for a long time. You know we don't need to make threats to encourage cooperation.
Brad: Listen, maybe I'm coming off a little hardnosed, but I am dead serious. I strongly suggest you don't disappoint us given the impact jabot's sales have had on your store's bottom lines.
Jack: You'll forgive bradley's intensity. His justifiable enthusiasm for tuvia sometimes gets the best of him. Listen, people, we all know the importance of launching a new product line.
Brad: I'm sure we can work together without any problems, right?
Jack: Well, thank you all for coming in today. If you need to reach bradley or me with any questions, please, don't hesitate to call us.
Brad: Let's go get 'em, gang.
Jack: Thank you, marcia. Good to see you.
Marcia: Good seeing you.
Jack: Anne, thank you again. Bruce, safe trip home.
Lauren: I forgot how sexy you can be when you're being forceful.
Brad: Think they got my point?
Lauren: No doubt about it. All right, I'll see you later.
Lauren: Hey, jack.
Jack: Thank you, lauren. Good to see you. Thank you.
Jack: Boy, you hit 'em pretty hard, didn't you?
Brad: And you were a little too nice.
Jack: Well, what can I say? The good cop/bad cop thing works sometimes.
Victor: Would you mind closing the door, darling?
Victoria: Should i be worried?
Victor: I need to discuss something with you that concerns your brother.
Victoria: All right.
Victor: Would you sit down?
Victoria: I'm getting kind of a bad feeling about this. Why don't you just say whatever's on your mind?
Victor: Do you remember when I told you that I'D... offered to mentor your brother?
Victoria: Um, yeah, and prepare him to take over the company one day without me? Yeah, I remember that.
Victor: Most certainly not without you.
Victoria: You said he turned you down.
Victor: He changed his mind.He has accepted the offer.
Nick: You know, I probably shouldn't bring this up, but it's something that's been really bothering me.
Sharon: Well, please, tell me. What is it?
Nick: When you were gone, and after all those months, you finally decided to reach out to the family, you sent some letters... one to cassie, one to noah one to my dad. I didn't get one. It made me feel like you weren't thinking about me.
Sharon: Nick, you are so wrong. I thought about you all the time. I-I mean, I went to bed thinking about you, I dreamed of you, I woke up with you on my mind. Nick: You couldn't have written to me and said that?
Sharon: I didn't think that you would want to hear it. I didn't know how you would feel about a woman who had walked out of your life like I did. I mean, if I were you, I would have hated me. In fact, I hated myself. So I wrote to victor, and I wrote to the kids to apologize, but honestly, I could not think of the words adequate to apologize to you.
Nick: So you said nothing.
Sharon: I'm sorry. I really am. I see how much that hurt you.
Nick: No, sharon, you don't-- you don't have to apologize. I don't need your pity.
Sharon: Nick... you know, if I had written, I would have said that I love you more than life itself, and that without you, life just isn't worth living. For throwing away what we had, and for hurting you and the kids the way that I did, I feel unspeakable regret.
Sharon: I live in the hope that one day I will be able to have the strength to tell you what's really in my heart and in my soul, but I know that, probably by then, it won't mean much to you.
Sharon: You were my life. You are my life... and I love you. You know, if you ever do feel like you can open your heart toe e again, I will be here.
Sharon: And that's probably what I would have said in the letter if I had the courage to write you. Er's here butso is the pressure.
Victoria: Nicholas changed his mind? When did this happen?
Victor: Just recently.
Victoria: I see.
Victor: Please, don't be upset.
Victoria: All right. Why don't you just tell me how you would like me to be? Why don't you just go ahead and make that decision for me?
Victor: Sweetheart, your brother's very worried about your feelings.
Victoria: (Laughs) right. So you told him that you would placate me.
Victor: I didn't say any chch thing.
Victoria: Do you really expect me to just accept this like a good little girl, no questions asked?
Victor: If you have any questions, I am here to answer them now.
Victoria: Okay, well, why don't we start with, um, what does this mean, long-term, short-term?
Victor: In the short-term, it means nothing.
Victoria: Really?
Victor: Nicholas will be here full-time again, and I will give him a broad exposure to the inner workings of this company, that's all.
Victoria: Will he be promoted?
Victor: Well, in due time, but he'll have a seat on the board.
Victoria: A board seat. Are you gonna make him an officer? Will he have a title change?
Victor: Eventually, yes.
Victoria: So how long is this gonna take? I mean, are you phasing yourself out? I mean, how long is this little process gonna take?
Victor: However long it takes, sweetheart.
Victoria: So basically, all you really know is that at some vague point in the future, nicholas will suddenly become C.E.O.?
Victor: That's not gonna happen so fast, all righty? He's gonna have to prove himself first.
Victoria: So really, the only thing that you do know, is that at some point, my little brother's gonna be running things around here, and I will be answering to him.
Victor: We're talking about--
Victoria: I will be one of his division heads, I will be taking orders from him, I will be coming to him for budget increases?
Victor: We're talking about a long way off.
Victoria: Maybe, maybe not. I mean, doesn't seem to me like you have this much mapped out past the bribery phase.
Victor: That is not my motive.
>>Icictoria: Really? Isn't it? Because I think you're pursuing this because nicholas won't give you the time of day.
Victor: I wish you wouldn't feel that way.
Victoria: How the hell do you expect me to feel? You're naming a successor, an heir to the throne. One heir, not both of your very capable children.
Victor: Sweetheart--
Victoria: You're cutting me out.
Victor: Things have changed around here. Your division has doubled in size.
Victoria: That is a damn excuse, and you know it. I have worked my butt off for you. All of these years, I have sacrificed because you have always told me that nothing would be handed to me, that I would have to earn everything, and by god, I have, and now since you have ruined your relationship with nicholas, you expect me to just step aside?
Victor: I'm trying to save our family, and you think this is a betrayal?
Victoria: You're damn right. This is a betrayal. That's exactly what it is. That's the only way you can look at this, the only way. (Door slams)
Mac: Why are you making nice?
Jill: 'Cause I'd like us to part on a positive note.
Mac: Why would you even care?
Jill: You said it yourself. Billy loves you, and as impossible as it may be for you to believe, I have always wanted my son's happiness.
Mac: But you just felt he wouldn't have that with me.
Jill: Mackenzie, I regret what you're going through right now... and billy. God, I just hate what this is doing to all of us.
Mac: Well, you'll survive. You always do.
Jill: Yeah, so will you. You're very much a survivor.
Mac: Yes, I am. (Footsteps approach)
Jill: Billy. Oh, honey, I'm so glad you've come.
Billy: I'm here to see mac. Would you give us some privacy, please? Mom, please.
Next on
"the young and the restless"...
Victor: Since our last meeting, I've had some thoughts about your many talents.
Mac: I can't live on memories. That's why I'm here. I've come to say goodbye.
