Michael: So you're offering me a job if I have the guts to take it. That certainly sounds like a challenge.
Victor: I see you as a man who likes a challenge.
Michael: You flatter me.
Victor: I have no intention of doing that.
Michael: Let's cut to the chase, Victor. You don't like me. Over the years, you've used a lot of vocabulary to describe how little you do think of me. Everybody knows that Victor Newman thinks Michael Baldwin is a low-down, dirty snake. So really, what am I doing here?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dru: Now--oh, honey, I am all for setting a wedding date, but, whoa, four weeks? That's going to come up so soon.
Neil: Hey, but, baby, that's the whole point, you see? The sooner we tie the knot, the less time Lily will have to stress over it.
Dru: And you are so sure she's going to accept that, huh?
Neil: One thing I am sure of is that our daughter loves us.
Dru: Mm-hmm, and hates the idea of us getting married.
Neil: Well, that's because she's afraid it'll turn out badly, and that we'll repeat all our old mistakes.
Dru: I just recently realized how much our divorce scarred our baby.
Neil: Okay, then, so it's our chance to make it up to her. I mean, you've got to know what she wants. She wants two parents, together, who love one another. It's what any kid wants.
Dru: If you heard her talking earlier, you would know it's the last thing she wants.
Neil: Well, that's because she's so scared of the thought of us trying and failing again. It scares the hell out of her.
Dru: And you're saying that if she didn't care, it wouldn't make any difference to her, is that it?
Neil: Exactly. We'll be giving our daughter what I believe she longs for more than anything in the world, and that's a loving, happy family, Dru.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Colleen: Well?
Lily: Come on. Turn around so we can see your face.
Sierra: Well, he has got a nice butt. Uh, back.
Colleen: Well, don't just sit there. Go talk to him.
Lily: What, right now?
Colleen: That is kind of the point.
Lily: I have to see his face first, you guys.
Colleen: Look, I'm sure he's cool.
Lily: What if that's not him?
Sierra: He's wearing a Hawaiian shirt, just like you told him to.
Lily: True.
Colleen: Mm-hmm.
Sierra: So what's wrong?
Lily: I don't know. This still feels so weird, you know? I mean its one thing to talk online, but face-to-face? Maybe this wasn't a good idea, you guys.
Colleen: You cannot back out now.
Sierra: I'll go talk to him.
Lily: No, no, no, sit down. Stop. Stay. You guys, what if he's a freak?
Colleen: Well, you're not going to know unless you go over there, now will you?
Sierra: Yea heart was breaking.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nick: Well, that's too bad 'cause she brought that all on herself.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nikki: (Groans)
Jack: Should I take cover under my desk?
Nikki: Why, because you think I might start throwing things? Yes, it's a good idea.
Jack: Slow down. What's wrong?
Nikki: You don't become a parent because you expect gratitude at the end of the day, right?
Jack: It would be nice, but you probably shouldn't expect it.
Nikki: Just tell me it's normal, that I shouldn't feel betrayed and kicked aside.
Jack: You probably should feel betrayed and kicked aside, and, yes, it's normal. Who are we talking about? Nicholas?
Nikki: I just can't believe what has happened. That woman has treated our family abominably over and over again. She has turned our lives upside down, and I have been there for him. I have helped him with his suffering children. He has admitted to me that he would be better off without her in his life, that she is an unreliable, thoughtless, selfish, cheating, lying little tramp--
Jack: Let me guess. She came back, she waved her groceries in front of Nicholas, and suddenly it's like they're on their honeymoon again.
Nikki: You got it. Can you believe that?
Jack: To tell you the truth, yes, I can.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dru: Obviously, you've given this quite a bit of thought.
Neil: Hard not to, with Lily giving us this much attitude.
Dru: What if we get married and she still gives us attitude, Neil?
Neil: Mnh-mnh. That ain't going to happen.
Dru: How can you be so sure?
Neil: Because I know that the one thing that Lily needs in her life right now is stability, and that's what our marriage is going to give her.
Dru: She's still going to fight us on it
Neil: Mm, maybe at first, but once it sinks in that it's not going to be like last time, that we're committed to making it work come hell or high water, she'll let down her guard, and she'll start to feel safe.
Dru: And we're going to live happily ever after like the Cosby’s, right?
Neil: Yeah, that's the general plan.
Dru: For a guy, you know-- you know, you're making a lot of sense.
Neil: Oh, well, thank you very much. The point is, you know, Lily's protesting, it's all about just-- it's protecting herself. Do you understand that? She's afraid that she'll be hurt again.
Dru: And you really think that's where she's coming from?
Neil: Yeah, baby, I do. So what do you say, four weeks from now, from today?
Dru: Like I said before, four weeks gives me hardly any time, especially when we're working this hard.
Neil: Oh, come on, the hell with work and all that kind of stuff. This is about you and me, all right? Joining our lives together again.
Dru: I can't when you talk like that.
Neil: Yeah? So you with me on this one, huh? I mean, you do agree that the best thing for our daughter is to get remarried?
Dru: You know what? Sometimes, you're too smart for your britches.
Neil: I'm going to take that as a "yes."
Dru: (Laughs)
Neil: Good, then it is settled. Four weeks from today. Whoo!
Dru: We have so much to do, honey. I have to get a dress, I've got to figure out where to do the ceremony, who do I-- I want a wedding planner. I want 3 carats. Oh, man, I've got so much to do.
Neil: All right, all right, Dru, Dru...
Dru: What?
Neil: Just calm down, boo.
Dru: That's easy for you to say. All you have to do is hop into a tux and say "I do." I got to get a wedding dress--
Neil: No way! Are you kidding me? This is my wedding, too. I want to be just as involved in the details as you are.
Dru: See, now I knew there was a reason why I loved you.
Neil: Hey.
Dru: Hmm?
Neil: You know what I'm really looking forward to?
Dru: What?
Neil: Being able to introduce you all over again as Mrs. Neil Winters.
Dru: Yeah, that always did have a nice ring to it, didn't it?
Neil: Mm-hmm. Yeah, baby. We are so lucky, you and I.
Dru: We're getting a second chance, honey.
Neil: And I promise you one thing.
Dru: What?
Neil: We're going to make the most of it, or die trying.
Dru: You say the most romantic things.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Colleen: Am I drooling?
Sierra: Wow. He’s... he’s...
Lily: Beautiful. So beautiful.
Colleen: Yeah, he's cute.
Sierra: You hit a home run, girl. Now go touch all the bases.
Colleen: You guys, he's looking this way.
Cody: Hey, man, how's it going?
Boy: Uh, hey.
Cody: Can I get you something?
Boy: Uh, yeah, I guess. Uh, what's good?
Cody: What's good? Everything, but I did just make some iced tea.
Boy: Sounds great.
Cody: All right, you want that for here or do you want that to go?
Boy: For here. I'm meeting somebody.
Cody: All right.
Colleen: So, Lily, say something.
Lily: I can't believe that's really him.
Sierra: A complete and total hottie?
Lily: He is cute.
Colleen: But?
Lily: But doesn't he seem a little... old?
Colleen: How old do you think he is?
Lily: Well, older than us, that's for sure.
Sierra: He's got to be 20. Probably in college.
Lily: Wow, older than J.T.
Colleen: Wow.
Lily: You guys, how do I look?
Colleen: You look great.
Lily: Great like a 15-year-old?
Sierra: No, great like an experienced woman. Now go for it. Come on
Lily: Wait, you guys, even if we do hit it off, there is no way my parents would let me go out with him.
Colleen: Okay, now you're just making excuses.
Lily: No, I'm not.
Colleen: Yes, you are.
Sierra: Look, I know. Why don't we all go over and say hi?
Colleen: Yeah, that way you won't be in the hot seat.
Sierra: Yeah.
Lily: No, I have to do this on my own.
Colleen: Okay.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brad: They've finally driven you to drink, huh?
Brad: I guess we've both had one of those mornings.
Brad: Screwdriver, please. No vodka.
Bartender: One O.J. Coming up.
Brad: Thank you.
Brad: I'm counting on the sugar rush myself.
Brad: Mm. Dark or milk?
Brad: Oh, no. I thought I had problems.
Brad: "It" being...?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Victor: Snakes have their place in the world, Mr. Baldwin.
Michael: (Chuckles) phrasemaker.
Victor: I can respect you without liking you. That'll have to do for now.
Michael: Fair enough. A business relationship doesn't have to be based on mutual affection, but there will, however, have to be a modicum of politeness where I'm concerned.
Victor: All right, agreed.
Michael: Not only from you, but from your family, the employees. There's no reason for us to initiate a relationship if I'm going to walk out that door any day, week or month because my value to you is compromised by constant abuse.
Victor: There'll be no abuse, I assure you.
Michael: I'm going to hold you to that.
Victor: You can do that.
Michael: So what do I give you?
Victor: Loyalty and hard work and commitment.
Michael: I give that to all my clients.
Victor: All right, then do we have a deal?
Michael: I need to know what that deal consists of.
Victor: It will consist of doubling your hourly rate.
Michael: (Chuckles)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dru: Out on the patio, a little privacy.
Dru: Come on, honey.
Neil: Where are you? There we are.
Lily: You guys, what is going on?
Neil: Hey, relax, Lily. Here you go.
Dru: Sweetie, you look nervous. Is something wrong? Thank you, honey.
Lily: No, no, I'm just, uh-- I'm just surprised to see you guys, that's all.
Neil: Like I said, we won't stay long.
Dru: No.
Lily: Jeez, mom, you tell me to get out and be with my friends, and then you show up here like this?
Dru: Well, honey, are we embarrassing you?
Lily: Well, I'd hate for Colleen and Sierra to think that you're checking up on me.
Dru: Oh.
Neil: I'm sure they'll understand once you tell them we came by.
Lily: Why did you?
Dru: Well, sweetheart, your father and I have some very exciting news to share with you.
Neil: Your mom and I have set our wedding date. We're getting married in four weeks.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nikki: You know what, Jack? You are no help at all.
Jack:
Nik, wait, wait. I understand your being frustrated. Try to remember, though,
one of the reasons Nicholas married
Nikki: Yeah, among other things. Those other things are very important.
Jack:
I'm just saying that chemistry is very strong stuff. Look, when
Nikki: He wanted to divorce her.
Jack: Extra strong chemistry.
Nikki: You know, when she first came back, she really didn't know where she stood. She was very careful because she knew she had blown it with everybody, including her children. She really watched her manners with me, particularly in front of Nicholas, but damn it, after she got him back under the sheets, boy, did those claws come out.
Jack: And now you just want to remind him he was ready to walk away from that marriage.
Nikki: Yeah.
Jack: Only now, he doesn't want to hear that. He wants you to stay away and mind your own business.
Nik: Right.
Jack: Babe, you have no choice.
Nikki: Don't you think I know that? The thing is, I would be willing to let that go. I can be philosophical about this. The thing is, I am starting to wonder if she's willing to stop at just getting Nicholas back.
Jack: Oh, come-- you don't mean Victor?
Nikki: I don't know. I don't know what's going on in her brain.
Jack: Nik...
Nikki: I don't know how far she's willing to go, but I do know she has this very weird attitude with me, like she's saying, "there's not enough room in this family for both of us." I really think she wants me out.
Jack: She can want whatever the hell she pleases. Getting it just isn't in the cards.
Nikki: You just said yourself, chemistry is strong stuff.
Jack: She goes near Victor-- anywhere near Victor-- she is history, no matter how besotted Nicholas is.
Nikki:
Did you notice that I left out the word "stupid" when I was going over
Jack: Jeez, you really think?
Nikki: Look, since the first day she showed up on Nicholas' arm, I knew she was a shrewd little gold digger, but I let it go. I was lulled by Nicholas' love for her, by their beautiful children, and I was determined to be the best, most supportive mother-in-law that girl could have. Boy, I should have trusted my first instincts because they were right. Look at all the damage that has been done, look at all the hurt, and there's more to come, Jack, plenty of it.
Jack: God, it is hard to believe that things have deteriorated that much.
Nikki: Well, they have, and I'm going to start sleeping with one eye open because that girl is dangerous. She is poison.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nick: Mom had to be put in her place. It wasn't pretty, and I didn't enjoy it, but it had to be done.
Nick: Well, my dad had to learn the hard way, too. They both have to realize that they can't run my life anymore.
Nick: Yeah, maybe.
Nick: Sounds like a dream if you ask me.
Nick: Doesn't mean it'll happen.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Randy: Who there's not -- a lot of strangers there. Sucker got duped again into
Dana: Okay, bye.
Randy: Our anniversary.
Johnny: Brenda, it's natural. I don't want to think I'm coming on to you or anything, but you must get hit do? They can do be dead in a year.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lily: Please, tell me that you're not serious.
Neil: Honey, yes, we're very serious.
Colleen: Shoot, he's looking at his watch.
Sierra: He's going to split.
Colleen: Why did Lily's parents have to show up now?
Lily: Didn't you hear a word I said to you this morning, mother?
Dru: Honey, of course I did, but please try to understand--
Lily: No. I can't believe this. It's like my worst nightmare.
Colleen: You know, maybe I should go over there and tell him to stay.
Sierra: Lily would kill us
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brad: End of your career? Thank you.
Brad: Listen, I heard about your father's offer to mentor your brother... and my first thought was what about Vicki?
Brad: You are a division president, officer of the company.
Brad: Sure.
Brad: Tell you what, how about we take turns?
Brad: Enjoy each other?
Brad: Glad to see you haven't lost your sense of humor.
Brad: You're hardly "no one."
Brad: I would.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Michael: No, no, let's not end the discussion.
Michael: I am prepared to take you on as a client. I'm prepared to deal with your issues, sight unseen.
Victor: And I won't have to listen to any speeches about legal ethics or bogus morality?
Michael: Morality is bogus?
Victor: Morality is bogus when it's an excuse for inactivity.
Michael: Good. I'm on board with that, but I'm of no use to you, myself or anyone else, Victor, if I don't have a license to practice law. You must understand, I will protect that asset at all costs.
Victor: You will only be in danger of losing that license if you're either stupid or careless.
Michael: Good. We have a deal. So what is this all about?
Victor: I'm engaged in a battle, a battle I intend to win. Quite frankly speaking, if I lost, it wouldn't mean the end of the world. I would still be powerful and wealthy. But I'm going to win this battle because it's something I want.
Michael: And you're used to getting what you want.
Victor: Let me tell you something about that. People like me get what they want... because they fight for it, and they work hard for it. You got that?
Michael: Fine. No free lunches. I'm with you all the way.
Victor: Good.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lily: You guys, where is he? Where'd he go?
Colleen: He left.
Lily: What?
Sierra: I guess he got tired of waiting.
Lily: Well, why didn't you guys stop him?
Colleen: We didn't know if you wanted us to.
Lily: I was just about to talk to him.
Colleen: I know, but your parents showed up.
Sierra: Yeah, we had no idea how long you'd be.
Lily: You know, this-- this is just great.
Colleen: I'm really sorry, but we didn't know if you wanted us to.
Lily: No, don't be sorry. It's not your fault. My mom and dad-- leave it to them to screw things up for me yet again.
Colleen: You know, I'm sure if you just tell him, he'll understand.
Sierra: Yeah, if he's cool, he'll be fine with it.
Lily: Yeah. Yeah, right. I doubt it. I'm sure he thinks I stood him up. You know what? Whatever. It's probably for the best. Never would have worked out anyway.
Colleen: So what, that's it? You're just going to forget about this guy?
Lily: Well, what else should I do?
Colleen: Well, I think you at least owe him an apology.
Sierra: Yeah. Blame it on your parents.
Colleen: Yeah.
Sierra: That always works for me when I'm late for school and stuff.
Lily: Yeah. You know what? Maybe he's online.
Colleen: Why don't you go see?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jack:
Okay, so
Nikki: Well, Victor has already--
Jack: Don't fight this, Nik. Don’t. You're not going to lose Victor over this. God, if you do good riddance. Look, I'm-I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Come here. Come here.
Jack: Just take a page from the black knight's book, huh? Bury yourself in your work.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nick: You can't, huh?
Nick: Its tough being in the house with you and not... feeling certain things
Nick:
Nick: I just don't want you getting the wrong idea.
Nick: I mean, if that hurts you, I--
Nick: Look, I've said this before, and I'll say it again. I think you're doing an amazing job with the kids.
Nick: It's going to take a lot of time and effort to make things right with her.
Nick: Well, Noah thinks you are.
Nick: That's never going to happen again.
Nick: You wouldn't be here if I didn’t.
Nick: Look, I know that you have been trying to deal with all this stuff on your own, but...
Nick: Don't be afraid to ask. That's all I'm saying.
Nick: We could talk to her together. You know, present a united front. Maybe that would change some things.
Nick: Well, don't rule it out. You know, if things get too tough...
Nick: No problem. Well, I got to get back to the office.
Nick: Well, I'll be here.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brad: Well, like you said, batching it involuntarily.
Brad: You know what? Being away's really been good for her.
Brad: Yeah, I do.
Brad: What do you mean?
Brad: She'll be home soon enough.
Brad: Yeah, yeah, I will. Kind of hard to complain, isn't it?
Brad: So back to your situation.
Brad: Really does have you bummed, doesn't it?
Brad: Because of the way he's been treating you.
Brad: What else?
Brad: What?
Brad: Don't stop on my account.
Brad: I take it you feel your father is on the verge of making a serious mistake.
Brad: Deal.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Michael: There. I am now yours to do with as you please within reason and as long as you and yours handle me with a reasonable respect.
Victor: Agreed.
Michael: So this battle-- shall I assume that the enemy is Jabot Cosmetics?
Victor: I will fill you in as the need arises, all right?
Michael: May I at least have some context?
Victor: Shelf space.
Michael: Excuse me?
Victor: You can make the best product at the lowest price, package it very attractively, but what use is that if, when the customers go shopping, they can't see your product on the shelves?
Michael: Well, if that happens, you're doomed.
Victor: That's right. That is the battlefield we are on, Mr. Baldwin. Jabot Cosmetics has a long-standing relationship with the major cosmetics retailers in this country. It's a relationship that they've cultivated very carefully.
Michael: And you'd like to rip them out like so many daisies from a flower bed?
Victor: I will do that.
Michael: To do that quickly, you're going to have to apply some high-pressure tactics.
Victor: We, Mr. Baldwin. We will do that. You go back to your law practice. When I call, you drop everything, and give me your full commitment.
Michael: Why do I have the feeling I've signed a pact with the devil?
Victor: You have a nice day.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Colleen: Any luck?
Lily: No. He isn't logged on.
Sierra: He's probably not home yet.
Colleen: Yeah.
Lily: Well, either that, or he's avoiding me.
Colleen: Look, I'm sure if you just e-mail him--
Lily: Wait, there he is. "Hey, fisherman, are you there?"
Lily: "I'm sorry about this afternoon."
Colleen: Why isn't he responding?
Lily: I don't know. He's still logged on. "Fish, you still there?"
Colleen: Wait, there's more.
Lily: "You say you're sorry. I know you're not really. But you will be."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Next on the young and the restless"...
Billy: When I think about how things went wrong, there you are, right in the middle of it.
Bobby: Let me get something straight with you, kid. I don't give my customers what they want, they go somewhere else.
