Neil: Did I hear you right?

Dru: Yeah. Yeah, I think we should get married in Japan.

Neil: You're yanking my chain, aren't you?

Dru: No, honey. I've always been fascinated by Japanese culture.

Neil: You have?

Dru: Yeah. You know, I love Akira Kurosawa and the kabuki and sushi and--

Neil: Hold on, hold on, hold on. All the years that we have been together, not once--not one single time-- have you mentioned anything about Japan.

Dru: Oh, but I'm sure I've mentioned it, honey. I am sure I've mentioned Japan .

Neil: All right, what about Trinidad ? We've already made the reservations.

Dru: Yeah, well, I can cancel them. We could use our mileage.

Neil: And what about our family and friends? They're expecting to see us get married.

Dru: They will see us get married--in Japan . They want us to be happy, right?

Neil: I just don't get this. I thought you had your heart set on a honeymoon in Trinidad . It's all you been talking about for weeks.

Dru: Sweetheart, it's a woman's prerogative to change her mind, and I've changed mine.

Neil: You sure have.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Damon: You're jogging at quite a clip there.

Phyllis: Oh! Yeah. Yeah, I'm trying to outrun my problems.

Damon: Well, that would be wishful thinking I'm afraid.

Phyllis: I'm afraid you're right.

Damon: Lovely outfit.

Phyllis: Thank you. Thanks.

Damon: (Laughs)

Phyllis: So, uh, what's-- what's going on with you?

Damon: (Laughs) all sorts of things.

Phyllis: Really? Like what?

Damon: Nothing I'd like to bore you with. I might know some more when I get back.

Phyllis: Where you going?

Damon: I'm off to Japan .

Phyllis: Japan ? Oh, yeah, probably to study with one of those, uh, those big zen guys, right?

Damon: (Laughs) yeah, that's it. No, I'm off for some r&r.

Phyllis: R&r? Do the suits at jabot know this?

Damon: Well, the suits at Jabot, if they expect me to remain the wildly creative individual that I am, have to let me recharge my batteries from time to time, don't you think?

Phyllis: Sounds plausible, but I would bet a week's pay that this trip is about something other than recharging your batteries. I think it's about a woman.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Brittany : You are gonna be so sorry, J.T.

Bobby: You better find your friend before she does.

Raul: Keep him from getting his head busted in.

Bobby: No, dummy, so you can tell him to keep his mouth shut. She gets in his face, he's gonna tell her it was your idea to have my place shut down.

Brittany : Will one of you please tell me where he is so I can punch his lights out?

Raul: I don't know where he is.

Brittany : Bobby, he's the one. He came to the club all ready to try to order a beer, he knew that someone had called the liquor people and that they were waiting for him and that when he was going--

Bobby: All right, all right. Hold on, good-looking. God, isn't she beautiful when she gets all worked up? All right, now who called the alcohol control people?

Brittany : You promise you won't hurt anyone?

Bobby: Well, I can't promise that, but I will try and control myself. Now who?

Brittany : My parents. But they set it up with J.T.

Raul: They told you that?

Brittany : No, they tried to lie their way out of it. They were totally lame. You wouldn't hurt my parents, would you?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Doorbell rings)

Michael: All right. Kevin. Kevin, if this is you, and it better not be, this is... Victor, I-I forgot. I'm so glad it's you. Please, come in.

Victor: Who else were you expecting?

Michael: No, you know, I... thanks for coming on such short notice. Uh, it... I have a half brother, and anything you've ever said or felt about me over the years goes double for him.

Victor: Huh?

Michael: Forget about the bad influences and the horrible traumas that made him who he is. He is just a thoroughly wretched individual.

Victor: Well, now how often do you see him?

Michael: Five minutes a year is too often, but he just popped up on my doorstep suddenly and wants me to solve all sorts of problems.

Victor: Ah. Anything I can do?

Michael: No, no. Thanks. With any luck, he'll just sink right back into the muck. Anyway, I'm glad you came. It gives me a chance to ask you something I've been dying to ask.

Victor: Okay. What is it you want to ask?

Michael: Have you lost your mind, Victor? Have you utterly and thoroughly lost your cotton-picking mind?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sharon : Still here?

Nick: Yep.

Sharon : It's late.

Nick: Why am I not at the office? Is that what you're asking?

Sharon : Oh, I just didn't realize that you were working at home today.

Nick: Just doing a little housekeeping. Dad copied these files for me when he was mentoring me, and now I don't need 'em.

Sharon : Nick, you're talking as if... what have you done?

Nick: Not a damn thing. Dad and I have come to a parting of the ways.

Sharon : Don't tell me you quit working for Newman Enterprises.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Olivia: Dean, hi. I'm sorry I've taken so long. I've gone through all the paperwork, all the tests. Everything is fine. I've signed the release papers. You can take her home, okay? Good. You're welcome.

Brad: Liv.

Olivia: Good, I was just gonna track you down.

Brad: So what do you think? She's come a long way, hasn't she?

Olivia: Yeah. There's been a lot of progress-- a lot of progress in a short period of time.

Brad: That's good, isn't it?

Olivia: On the surface, it can be.

Brad: What do you mean, on the surface?

Olivia: I just worry. I mean, when you think of all the trauma she's been through... look, I'm not saying I'm not being optimistic, I just don't want to push her.

Brad: The last thing in the world I want is to see Ash slip back into fantasyland.

Olivia: I don't think that's gonna happen. Although there are times when she's caught up in her thoughts.

Brad: She has a lot to come to terms with.

Olivia: True. In fact, there’s one thing that concerns me.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

John: Hello, sweetheart.

Ashley: Hi, daddy.

John: How are you?

Ashley: Well, I'm not hallucinating.

John: (Chuckles) that's supposed to be humorous, huh?

Ashley: I'm trying to retain my sense of humor.

John: Good for you.

Ashley: Yeah. I'm not always successful, but...

John: Oh, you'll get there.

Ashley: Did you see Olivia and Brad outside?

John: No, no. Why?

Ashley: Hmm. I thought they were talking.

John: Well, I must have missed them.

Ashley: Maybe.

John: Ash, what were they talking about?

Ashley: Well, I want to go home, and I'm just not sure they're gonna let me.

John: Oh, honey...

Ashley: Daddy, please don't say it. Don't tell me that I'm not ready to go home, because that's the last thing I want to hear.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bobby: Come on. Have you ever seen me be violent, Brittany ?

Brittany : No.

Bobby: All right. Well, then I'm not gonna hurt anyone.

Brittany : Not even J.T.?

Bobby: Ha ha. Him I might hurt.

Raul: Well, maybe I should go see if I could find him then, huh?

Brittany : Why, to warn him? No way. I want to be the first to get my hands on him.

Bobby: Now, brittany , just take it easy. Listen, I talked to the liquor people, and I'm all settled up with them.

Brittany : You did?

Bobby: Yeah. It wasn't cheap, it wasn't easy, but I got my ticket back.

Brittany : Bobby, that's fantastic. When do we open?

Raul: Well, I'm obviously not needed here.

Bobby: No, no. You wait right there. Okay, Brittany , here's the thing-- I need to know that do-gooders like your ex, your folks, aren't gonna talk you into quitting on me.

Brittany : Well, Bobby, why would I? I mean, they've been breathing down my neck--

Raul: Don't worry about it, Marsino. You go ahead, you strip your brains out, Brittany , if this is really what you want to do. I'm not gonna say anything else about it anymore.

Brittany : Can we please not talk about this right now?

Raul: What, because Bobby's here? Who cares? He's as much a part of this as I am. More in fact.

Brittany : No, that's not true. This is personal.

Bobby: All right, look, look, I just need to know that Marilyn’s on board. I've lost a lot of money in this deal. Sameitith Angelo, the girls, everyone. Now I gotta make sure that Marsino's comes back with a bang.

Brittany : Bobby, the only thing that would keep me from being there is if I get thrown in jail for killing J.T.

Bobby: Well, forget about him. He's not worth it. Now I want you to just get some rest, rehearse a little bit and take it easy. We got a big night ahead of us.

J.T.: Hey, honey, I'm home.

Brittany : You bastard! I'm gonna kill you!

J.T.: What the hell's wrong with you?

Brittany : Bastard! You're not different when you're at Ronald McDonald house.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nick: No, Sharon , I haven't quit.

Sharon : But you just said--

Nick: I am still one of Victor Newman’s minions. I'm just back to being a junior-level peon instead of the heir apparent.

Sharon : Okay, I don't understand.

Nick: My father said there's no point in mentoring me if I'm not gonna worship the ground he walks on.

Sharon : So this is Victor's doing?

Nick: Huh, oh, yeah. It's fine by me.

Sharon : Sweetheart, um, have you-- have you thought about this? I mean, have you thought about what you're throwing away here?

Nick: Yes, I have.

Sharon : Your whole future. Our future.

Nick: Sharon , I think I'll be able to provide for my family.

Sharon : Honey, look, that's not what I'm talking about, all right? Nick, will you stop that for a minute and just look at me?

Nick: What are you so upset about? This was inevitable. If you don't kiss the old man's ring, then you're done.

Sharon : All he ever asked for, all he ever wanted from you was a little love from his son and some respect. Why did that become so hard for you?

Nick: You'll find out soon, and so will everyone else. You'll know exactly where I'm coming from.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Victor: I hope you have a very good reason for your impudent attitude.

Michael: You know, Victor, every lawyer has horror stories about clients who are really hard to help. People who keep bailing water into the boat while you're trying to bail water out of the boat.

Victor: Please get to the point.

Michael: The fact that you told Phyllis the one thing we are so desperate to keep secret, that goes right up on the mantle with the rest of my trophies. It's a real doozy.

Victor: I trust her.

Michael: Victor, you don't know her.

Victor: I think I do.

Michael: The mere fact that we are standing here talking about this is proof that I'm right, isn't it? You swore her to secrecy. Two minutes later, when I walked into your office, she told me.

Victor: Did she?

Michael: Well, she didn't tell me in so many words. She said that you told her a deep, dark secret, and how did I feel about it? Oh, and then she hinted around, she rubbed up against it like a cat. She's coaxing it out of me till it was all there on the table-- how Safra was a party to some improper shenanigans, benefited from them in the early days on the market.

Victor: Sounds to me as if you told her more than she told you.

Michael: Look, if Phyllis had kept her mouth shut like she promised you she would, we wouldn't be having this conversation right now.

Victor: That's a point well taken.

Michael: Look, I'm accepting my share of the blame. She's good. One thing after another happened, and she got me to admit that I was a party to the aforementioned shenanigans.

Victor: I'm just amazed that I so misjudged her.

Michael: Look, uh, Phyllis is more likely to talk to me than she is to a lot of other people, but I mean, I'm, still-- I'm damn glad that wasn't Nikki or Victoria who had walked into your office at that particular moment.

Victor: As I am. As I am.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Damon: Now what might make you think that my trip had anything to do with a woman?

Phyllis: I don't know. A little birdie told me that there's a new lady in your life.

Damon: Oh, is that right?

Phyllis: Mm-hmm.

Damon: I think that birdie's got some wrong information.

Phyllis: Oh, well, you don't have to be coy with me. I saw you here in the restaurant sitting at the bar having a very intimate conversation with a woman.

Damon: Just a friend.

Phyllis: Oh is she new in town?

Damon: Passing through.

Phyllis: Business or pleasure?

Damon: Business, I presume.

Phyllis: Are you being straight with me?

Damon: Now what reason would I have to lie to you? Tell me about Phyllis. How are things going?

Phyllis: Oh, things are going terrible.

Damon: I assume that means that things between you and Jack haven't improved?

Phyllis: No, they haven't and they're not going to.

Damon: That's sort of a pessimistic outlook, don't you think?

Phyllis: Well, I have a reason to be pessimistic. What I'm dealing with is in the realm of "be careful what you wish for." There are just some things you're better off not knowing. You know, uh, forget I said that. Just... I'm... just never mind. Forget I said that.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Neil: Drucilla.

Dru: Huh?

Neil: When did you decide all of this?

Dru: Oh, I was struck today with the idea.

Neil: Oh, really? Struck, like by lightning? Just popped in your head-- "hey, let's go to Japan and get married"?

Dru: Well, I was thinking about lily and how a change of scenery would do her good.

Neil: Yeah, I agree with that. Getting out of Genoa City is the best medicine for our little girl, but what is wrong with Trinidad ?

Dru: Nothing. Trinidad 's fabulous. But I was thinking we should do something really different. You know, the planet's a very big place. You know, something totally culturally different. Something that will get Lily out of her head, you know, after everything that's happened.

Neil: Yeah, but Japan ?

Dru: Think about how exciting that's gonna be. What about the educational aspects of the whole thing?

Neil: Dru, is there something, anything going on besides just this intense interest that you had in Japan all of your life that I've just suddenly found out about?

Dru: No, honey. Absolutely not. What's with all the suspicion? Baby, do you realize that this is the first vacation we've taken as a family since we've all gotten back together? And I want it to be special. I want it to be so unique, that we never forget it for the rest of our lives.

Neil: Okay, all right, all right. Slow your roll. Stop the sales pitch. If it's sushi and hot sake you want, then, mama, Japan, here we come.

Dru: Oh, thank you.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Brad: Liv, to be honest, I still have concerns about my wife.

Olivia: Naturally. She's gone through a great ordeal. I mean, you both have.

Brad: But I got the feeling you were talking about something specific when you expressed your concern.

Olivia: When I was with her earlier, she seemed distant.

Brad: What, like she was slipping away?

Olivia: I don't know. I was concerned, so I asked her some questions. She seemed fine. Now there's no doubt that she wants to be back with her family, reconnect with her life, and these are tremendous steps in the right direction.

Brad: Did she talk to you about going back to work?

Olivia: Yes, she did. And I think getting her feet wet at the lab is--is good, as long as it's not too much stress too soon.

Brad: Or we could be back where we started.

Olivia: You know what I'd like? I'd like for her to take it slowly, focus on her family. Work, and I know I shouldn't be saying this, is not the cure-all.

Brad: Liv, I know how desperately she wants to leave the hospital, but what do you think, honestly? Is she ready to be released?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

John: Now, Ashley, please, honey, now come on. Calm down. I don't want to see you getting upset.

Ashley: Daddy, do you have any idea what it's like to be trapped in this room all day long with nothing to think about but what I've lost?

John: I know that this has been a terrible time for you.

Ashley: There's nothing I can do about it. What's happened has happened, and I can't change it. All the dreams I had about having a child with Brad are gone, and I'm gonna have to find my fulfillment elsewhere.

John: And you will.

Ashley: I'd like to. That's the whole point. I'd like to get started. I want to leave all this sadness behind me.

Ashley: I just want to be happy again, daddy. Is that too much to ask?

John: No, honey, it isn’t.

[Ashley remembering]

(Instrumental version of "the first time ever I saw your face" playing)

Ashley: I think this is my favorite song.

Victor: Mine too.

Victor: I'll probably never hear it again without being reminded of you tonight... and your beautiful face in candlelight.

Ashley: You always say the right thing to me.

Victor: It's so easy to do with you.

Ashley: Maybe it shouldn't be.

Victor: I'd be terribly disappointed if you didn't have a good time, you know?

Ashley: How could I not when I'm with you?

Victor: I've missed talking to you like this and holding you like this.

Victor: You've missed it, too, haven't you?

John: You've missed it, too, honey, I know.

Ashley: Yes, I have. So much.

John: Ashley, Ashley, listen to me. Now no one is trying to keep you away from your family or your home. Sweetheart, that's not what this is about.

Ashley: I just wish people would give me a little more credit, Dad, that's all.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

J.T.: Get the hell off me, Brittany!

Raul: Relax.

J.T.: Get off me.

Raul: Chill out.

Brittany : No, Raul. You deserve to have your bones broken. How could you?

J.T.: What the hell are you talking about?

Brittany : The idea that I was loving what I was doing, that just really got on your nerves.

J.T.: Hey, I told you how I feel. That guy's using you. You're telling yourself it's all about some big singing career, while he's making money off you hand over fist.

Brittany : Fine, so that's your opinion, and I've listened to it. So just because I don't agree with you, and I didn't quit immediately, that gives you a right to shut down bobby's business?

J.T.: What? I didn't shut down Bobby's business. The liquor control people did. Raul, back me up.

Brittany : Oh, God, you know, that is so like you, J.T., To blame it on somebody else.

Raul: That's enough, Brittany. I was in on it, too.

Brittany : Y-you what?

Raul: I was part of the plan, with your parents, to shut down Marsino's.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Neil: Mmm.

Dru: I love you. Are you sure you don't mind us getting married in Japan ?

Neil: Hey, I got to admit I'm a little thrown here, but if it's that important to you, how can I refuse?

Dru: Honey, we're gonna love it and Lily's gonna have so much fun.

Neil: You better get ready to be my very own private geisha girl.

Dru: Baby, I was born ready.

Neil: Mm-hmm, I know you were. So what about the wedding? It's only a couple of days. You're not gonna cancel it, are you?

Dru: Oh, no, no, no. We're not gonna postpone it. Passports are ready. I'm gonna make all the arrangements with a travel agent.

Neil: Really? Okay, you told me Japan . Now where exactly in Japan are we going?

Dru: Oh, no. This is a surprise.

Neil: Haven't I had enough surprises for one day, young lady?

Dru: Honey, you're gonna love it, relax. Now I have to skedaddle. I have to go home and check on Lily. And I better get out of here before Victor Newman finds out I'm in the building.

Neil: Please, come on.

Dru: Honey, arigato.

Neil: Yeah... arigato.

Dru: Sayonara, honey! Sayonara!
