Sharon: What do you want?
Cameron: Hey, just checking to see if you're ready.
Sharon: Ready for what?
Cameron: Well, you haven't forgotten that we're hosting a New Year’s Eve party together tonight, have you?
Sharon: I am not hosting anything, okay? I've made a few phone calls on your behalf, and that is it.
Cameron: So the guests are confirmed. Gina has her marching orders.
Sharon: It's handled, okay? Yes.
Cameron: Don't be late.
Sharon: All right, this is your party, Mr. Kirsten. It's not mine, and I really couldn't care less whether I'm there on time or not, so-- so I will see you tonight then. Okay, bye bye.
Nick: Was that Cameron?
Sharon: Yeah, he was just checking to see when we'll be there.
Nick: Yeah, he's pretty excited about this party you two are hosting.
Sharon: Um, honey, I wish you wouldn't look at it that way because it's really not my party, you know? It's Cameron’s.
Nick: Little Miss Modesty. So is everything set for tonight?
Sharon: It's all handled.
Nick: Except for one thing.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Cork hits wall)
Kevin: Ahh. Man, its fun being smart. Most people are dumber than dirt. You slap a restraining order on 'em, they think they're restrained, but not me. I fight back because I have a plan. I spit on your restraining order, judge. What? What's that? You call that contempt? You're damn right it's contempt.
Kevin: "So, Lily, if you didn't get it from Kevin, where did you get Chlamydia? You must have gotten it somewhere!" "Daddy, Daddy, I swear, I swear it was Kevin." (Laughing) oh, man, I would love to be a fly on the wall in that house right now.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Neil: No, I understand. We were out of the country. Your hands were tied. Well, meanwhile, we'll just cope with it as best we can. Yeah. Thanks, John. You take care.
Dru: Honey.
Neil: (Speaking softly) damn it. Damn it. Drucilla, you know how close I was. I was this close.
Dru: Yes, honey. I understand that. How did you leave things with John Silva?
Neil: I'm gonna talk with John right after the first of the year, see what our options are regarding our daughter, now that the restraining order's been lifted.
Dru: Oh, honey! You look absolutely fabulous!
Neil: Look out, world.
Lily: Thank you.
Neil: You look beautiful.
Dru: I knew this was gonna be gorgeous on you. Hey, kids.
Lily: Hey, guys.
Colleen: Hi.
Sierra: Hey.
Lily: So are we all ready to party?
Colleen: Yes, we are, but first things first. Welcome home, babe.
Lily: Thank you.
Colleen: Come here.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nikki: Another year gone by.
Victor: It's almost too cold for riding. But it feels good. It clears the cobwebs. You thinking about New Year’s?
Nikki: This year's almost over, thank God. Though I wonder if the next one's gonna be even worse.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jack: Boy, you look like a million bucks.
John: Well, I feel like 50 cents.
Jack: Dad, I know you're worried about Ash. We just have to hope and pray she's gonna pull through this.
John: Nah, I just feel I should be with her.
Jack: Dad, Dad, weren't you the one that told me Brad wanted to handle things with his wife?
John: Yeah, I know that, Jack.
Jack: So let's let him handle things. Look, you go to Cameron Kirsten’s party and let your hair down. Have a good time. You need to loosen up a bit.
John: Thank you. And what about you? Now I still don't understand why you don't go up, get dressed and go with me, make an appearance.
Jack: No, I'm still a bit jet-lagged from Japan. I'd just bring everyone else down.
John: That's the real reason?
Jack: What do you mean?
John: Jackie, your wedding anniversary was Christmas Eve. You have not mentioned it once. And I know that your problems with Phyllis have not helped your holiday spirit.
Jack: Yeah, probably not. The last thing I feel like doing on New Year’s Eve is celebrating with a lot of people. Look, if I don't see you before midnight, happy New Year.
John: Son, happy New Year. I love you, Jack.
Jack: I love you, too, Dad.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gina: I need some more champagne glasses. They're right over there. Let's stock up. Good.
Phyllis: Wow. Gina, the place looks great.
Gina: Thanks, Phyllis.
Phyllis: So I hear Cameron Kirsten is throwing a huge New Year’s Eve party tonight.
Gina: Well, don't tell me you're not on the guest list.
Phyllis: He's negotiating a very lucrative contract with my company, so why wouldn't I be?
Gina: Your company?
Phyllis: Yeah. Well, Newman Enterprises, same difference.
Gina: Hmm. Yeah, right.
Phyllis: So I guess everybody who's anybody will be coming.
Gina: If you're asking whether the Abbotts have been invited, say for instance, your husband Jack, well, yes, he has been. It's a pity, isn't it?
Phyllis: What's a pity?
Gina: That I know more about what's going on in Jack's life than you do.
Phyllis: Well, yes, that is a pity, but I'm not gonna lose any sleep over it.
Gina: Well, if I see Jack, shall I tell him you're looking for him?
Phyllis: Nope.
Gina: Then you're not staying?
Phyllis: No. If you see my husband, don't tell him anything.
Gina: Well, that'll be a pleasure. Guys, guys... (snaps fingers)
Phyllis: It's better that it's a surprise.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jack: Another year gone by. Question is, Jackie boy, what have you got to celebrate?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nick: You like it?
Sharon: It's beautiful. I love it. But, um, you don't expect me to wear this tonight, do you?
Nick: Uh, yeah, I do. You look great in that.
Sharon: Well, it's just-- I mean, it's a little too...
Nick: Babe, the Athletic Club may be 80 years old, but, you know, all the fellas, well, they're not. That dress is a ten and so are you. You have the perfect body for it.
Sharon: Honey, you're so sweet to say that.
Nick: Look, I want the whole world to see my sexy wife. I want 'em to feel a little jealous.
Sharon: But, honey, it's winter, and I am just going to freeze to death in this.
Nick: Well, I guess it's a good thing then that you could wear a coat on the way over there. Are the kids going with us?
Sharon: No. They both have sleepovers tonight with friends.
Nick: You know, I bet my Mom's feeling pretty rotten tonight.
Sharon: Well, maybe she and Victor will surprise us and they'll both show up.
Nick: I doubt it. The news of his arrest has been all over the papers. He won't wanna be there.
Sharon: Did you talk to your Mom about the party?
Nick: Yeah, she didn't sound too enthused.
Sharon: Well, I know how she feels.
Nick: Are you not excited about tonight?
Sharon: I know you're supposed to party on New Year’s Eve, but I'd give anything if we could just stay home and just ring in the New Year together without all the hoopla.
Nick: Babe... are you okay?
Sharon: What do you mean?
Nick: Well, you seem a little on edge lately, and my Mom said the same thing. Is there something going on, something I should know about?
Sharon: No. Nothing. I mean, everything's fine, except for this family, which is a complete mess.
Nick: Well, that doesn't really explain the other day.
Sharon: The other day?
Nick: Yeah, apparently, you were at lunch with Cassie. And I don't know, something happened. You kinda freaked out and practically dragged Cassie out of there. What was up with that?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Victor: It's ironic, isn't it? Our son is living a mere stone's throw away, and yet I feel as distant from him as if he lived on another continent.
Nikki: Yes, it's heartbreaking, victor. (Nikki pouring drink)
Victor: What are your feelings about me?
Nikki: Please don't ask me that right now. I can barely live just day-to-day.
Victor: I talked to Sharon earlier.
Nikki: Oh, how nice of you.
Victor: Are you aware that there's a function at the Athletic Club tonight?
Nikki: Yes, I am, and I'm not going.
Victor: Well, don't you think it would be better to be out somewhere?
Nikki: Better than what?
Victor: What do you mean, "better than what"? Better than sitting around here and watching the gulf between us grow larger.
Nikki: Do you have any idea how much it tears me apart that things are the way they are between us?
Victor: Don't you think they tear me apart
Nikki: You betrayed me, Victor. I don't know how to make that okay.
Victor: I didn't mean to hurt you.
Nikki: You know, I do believe that, but you still did it. You knew exactly what you were doing. So that makes me wonder-- forget it. There's no point in going over this again and again.
Jack: You talk about betrayal. I had warned you. I warned you repeatedly not to invest $35 million in Jack Abbott’s company. You went ahead anyway. Let's just put this behind us. This was a very difficult year. I think we should go out tonight and celebrate and just look at the New Year with a sense of optimism. Sharon would like both of us to be there.
Nikki: Why?
Victor: What do you mean why? Perhaps she intends to give the impression that this family is still holding together.
Nikki: Well, that's too bad because I cannot face an entire evening of pretense.
Victor: Well, good. Then I'll go alone.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sharon: Nick, it was the weirdest thing. I had this sudden panic attack, and I started shaking, and I felt like I couldn't catch my breath, and I just-- I had to get out of there.
Nick: Has that ever happened before?
Sharon: No, no, not that I can remember, and I had no idea what caused it.
Nick: Maybe you should see a doctor.
Sharon: Well, I've already promised myself that if it does happen again, I will definitely have it checked out.
Nick: (Sighs) you know, this family has been through so much. And I guess I forget sometimes what it does to you. And I'm sorry. I'm glad you told me.
Sharon: Well, honey, I never meant for it to be a secret.
Nick: Well, that's good, because we both learned the hard way what secrets do to relationships.
Sharon: You know, I'm really fine now, so why don't we just forget it?
Nick: Are you fine enough to practice for when the clock strikes 12?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nikki: Good. You haven't left yet.
Victor: Change your mind or what?
Nikki: If you're determined to go to this thing, I don't want you to go alone.
Victor: Well, thank you.
Nikki: I'm not doing it for you. I'm doing it for the family. There's a lot to be said for appearances. Given our son's attitude lately, I think my presence will keep things more peaceful.
Victor: Let me help you with this.
Victor: You look beautiful.
Nikki: I wish things were different.
Victor: It'll be my New Year's resolution that they will. All right, Nikki Newman, let's go.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gina: John. Happy New Year.
John: Happy New Year to you. How's everything going?
Gina: Well, now that you're here, everything is wonderful.
John: Well, I think we ought to drink on that. What do you say?
Gina: I think that's a great idea.
John: The place looks great.
Phyllis: Hey, John.
John: Phyllis.
Phyllis: Did Jack come with you?
John: No.
Phyllis: Oh, is he planning to show up at some point?
John: No, he isn’t.
Phyllis: Oh. Well, thank you. Happy New Year.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lily: I am so glad that you guys believe me.
Sierra: Of course we do, Lily.
Lily: I mean, after Kevin was here last night, I was so freaked out. I was just thinking that-- that everyone's gonna think that I'm lying, you know, that I'm some big tramp.
Colleen: Hey, we would never think that, Lily, never.
Lily: I know. You guys are the best. Thank you.
Dru: Here we are.
Neil: Hey, kids, shall we get this show on the road?
Lily: Yes, we shall. I wanna have some fun tonight. It's New Year’s Eve.
Colleen: It's time to forget about you-know-who.
Dru: You know, I can't believe a new year is upon us, kids, can you?
Sierra: I think it's gonna be a good one.
Dru: Okay. You're a bright musician and have a beautiful voice.
J.T.: Oh, thank you. I'm all right. So where's this party at again?
Neil: Athletic Club on Melrose. You wanna take Colleen and Sierra and follow us there?
Lily: Dad.
Neil: Fine, sweetie, you can ride with them. Go ahead.
J.T.: All right, so we'll meet you there.
Neil: Sounds like a plan.
Dru: Button up, button up. It's really cold out. Here we go.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kevin: You're going to a party after what I just laid on you? Man, I gotta see this.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Phyllis: Hi.
Jack: You're all dressed up.
Phyllis: With no place to go.
Jack: Oh, I doubt that.
Phyllis: That's right. I'm quite the social butterfly, aren't I? I go to all the parties-- all the Christmas Eve parties, the Hanukkah parties, the Kwanzaa parties.
Jack: The New Year’s Eve parties.
Phyllis: You're in the spirit. How many have you had?
Jack: I'm not driving.
Phyllis: Oh, that many.
Jack: Is that why you stopped by here, to see how morose I am?
Phyllis: Are you?
Jack: Heck no. I love drinkin' alone.
Phyllis: Is that an invitation?
Jack: You just walked right in.
Phyllis: Well, technically, it's still my house.
Jack: Technically.
Phyllis: Do you want me to go? Because I can go.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lauren: You ready?
Paul: Why wouldn't I be?
Lauren: Oh, there are bound to be questions.
Paul: You wanna know something? There is not one woman on the face of this earth that I'd rather be here with. There is not one other woman that I'd rather have on my arm. So you know what I say? Bring on the questions.
Lauren: You just get hotter and more charming with every passing year.
Paul: Come on, let's go.
Lauren: Okay.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anita: See you later.
Gina: Happy new year.
John: Happy New Year, you two. Happy New Year. Shall we?
Gina: Yes.
All: (Chattering)
Cameron: Victor, how are you?
Victor: Cameron, nice to see you.
Cameron: Good to see you, too, and this must be the amazing Nikki Nwman that I've heard so much about.
Nikki: Well, thank you for inviting us, Mr. Kirsten.
Cameron: Please, call me Cameron. And when you're hosting a party in Genoa City, well, who else would be at the top of the list?
Nikki: Oh, well, that's very sweet. Oh, Katherine Cancellor is here. Excuse me, won't you?
Cameron: Absolutely. She's lovely, Victor.
Victor: Thank you, Cameron. How's business?
Cameron: It's good. It's good. I gotta tell you, that son of yours is one hell of a negotiator.
Nick: Club soda and lime, please.
Cameron: Speak of the devil. Hey, Nick, come over here.
Nick: Hey, bu
Cameron: Good to see you.
Nick: Good seeing you.
Cameron: I was just telling your Dad what a talented deal maker you are.
Nick: Well, our companies make a nice fit, Cameron. We're both reasonable people. It makes it easy.
Cameron: I must be slipping. I try never to make it easy.
Nick: Well, I was just getting my wife a drink. So, uh...
Cameron: Oh, hey, listen. That reminds me, I need to talk to Sharon about something. His wife has been a lifesaver for me putting this party together. So I'll tell you what-- you keep your Dad company. I'll get your wife a drink.
Victor: You don't need to keep me company, son.
Nick: Happy New Year.
Victor: Let me have a double tequila, please.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sharon: It's actually Mr. Kirsten's party. I just made a few calls--
Cameron: Hi, sorry to interrupt. I'm Cameron Kirsten.
Paul: Hi. Paul Williams. Thanks for inviting us. Lauren Fenmore.
Cameron: Hi, how are you? Pleasure. Listen, I don't mean to be rude, but can I steal Sharon for one second?
Paul: Oh, sure. Coming?
Lauren: You know, actually, I do want some food.
Paul: Thanks again. Sharon.
Cameron: We need to get together someplace more private than this.
Sharon: Why, so you can beat me up again?
Cameron: I don't want to hurt you, Sharon. But I gotta tell you, I will tell your husband things that you'd just as soon he not know, unless you do me this one little favor. Capisce?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
J.T.: Are you sure you feel like being at a crowded party tonight?
Colleen: What, you'd rather be home?
J.T.: Yeah, just the two of us.
Colleen: Yes, but we can do that any time. It's New Year’s only once a year. It's a time to be with friends.
J.T.: Hey, you okay?
Colleen: Yeah. Would you do me a favor?
J.T.: You bet. Name it.
Colleen: Would you go get me a plate of food-- I'm starving-- while I go powder my nose?
J.T.: Well, your nose is perfect. But yeah, I'll get you a plate of food.
Colleen: Thank you.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jack: So if I asked you to leave, where would you go?
Phyllis: Oh, I would go into the cold, dark night.
Jack: Or Cameron Kirsten’s New Year’s Eve party. You went there looking for me, didn't you, hoping to find me?
Phyllis: Sue me.
Jack: You found out I wasn't there, and you thought, what?
Phyllis: I'll have that drink after all. Because technically, it's still my scotch.
Jack: Technically.
Phyllis: Technically.
Phyllis: So, what do I say? Here's mud in your eye.
Jack: How apropos.
Phyllis: Ahh. Oh, my God! What is this?!
Jack: Ambrosia.
Phyllis: Oh. Oh, my. Here.
Jack: Oh, there's wine.
Phyllis: Yeah. Do you wanna know why I really came over?
Jack: A gift for me?
Phyllis: It's an anniversary gift. Two years of wedded bliss.
Phyllis: Are you gonna open it?
Jack: I didn't get you anything.
Phyllis: I know. It's okay. Not really, I was crushed. Christmas Eve came and went.
Phyllis: I mean, I figured at least I would get a dead poinsettia or something.
Jack: Stop.
Phyllis: Maybe a card with a skull and crossbones-- "to my beautiful wife Phyllis..."
Jack: Stop. Please.
Phyllis: I got it right after that time I snuck in here and I seduced you. You remember? When I was under the covers?
Jack: Yeah, yeah.
Phyllis: And we promised to each other, no matter what, we promised that we'd always share the same bed. Do you remember that?
Jack: Yeah, I remember.
Phyllis: So much for keeping our promises.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Paul: So why don't you give me a call early next week?
J.T.: Sounds good.
Lauren: You know, I'm gonna get some water.
Paul: Okay.
Colleen: Paul, I need to talk to you. I need help.
Paul: Why? What's going on?
Colleen: It's Kevin. He's here. I don't know where he went, but if J.T. Sees him, he's gonna flip out.
Paul: Yeah, not just J.T. What about all the Winters? All right, don't worry about it. I'll take care of it.
Colleen: Thank you.
Kay: Jill?
Victor: Hello, Jill.
Jill: Hello, Victor.
Victor: Nice to see you.
Jill: Nice to see you.
Victor: Sit down.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cameron: Your husband's a bright guy. If he can pull off this deal with me, it'll prove he's got what it takes to lead Newman Enterprises into the next decade. Now I know you don't want to be the one who screws up that, do you? Here.
Sharon: Your business card?
Cameron: Turn it over.
Cameron: It's a small motel on the south side of town. I want you to meet me there after the party.
Sharon: Are you insane?
Cameron: No. No, I'm not.
Sharon: I am not going to meet you out at some motel.
Cameron: You know, don't worry about your husband either. I'll make sure that he's otherwise occupied. I'll see you there.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kevin: What the hell are you doing?! You're not a cop! You can't just come in here--
Paul: Shut up. You have to learn to play with children your own age. Now I want you to stay away from those kids out there, all of them.
Kevin: Reality check. The restraining order has been lifted, or have you already forgotten? It's a free country, and I can come and go as I damn well please.
Paul: You know what? I'm not gonna be able to protect you from J.T. But maybe we shouldn't be worried about him, because what I'd do to you is much worse.
Kevin: You'll both end up in jail.
Paul: You wanna bet your teeth on that? Now get the hell outta here. Now.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Phyllis: Dinner.
Jack: Technically still your cheese.
Phyllis: Technically, it is still my cheese and apple.
Phyllis: It's a tough night to be alone.
Jack: Are we?
Phyllis: I don't know. You tell me. Are we?
Phyllis: Something tells me you had scotch for dinner.
Phyllis: I'm sorry.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
J.T.: Boomer sooner.
Nick: That's right.
Cameron: Hey, Nick, you got a second?
Nick: Yeah, what's up, man?
Cameron: Listen, I need something from you. It's bad timing, but it's kind of important.
Nick: Hey, I'll do what I can.
Cameron: Yeah?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Victor: I don't know if you want to hear this.
Victor: But it feels good to have my arms around you.
Nikki: I'm not made of stone. Of course I wanna hear it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Paul: Hello.
Lauren: Oh, hi. Is everything okay?
Paul: For now, which is all that matters, right?
Lauren: Yeah. Live for the moment, that's my motto. It's almost midnight. Wanna go get some bubbly?
Paul: Sounds like a plan.
Nick: Baby, Cameron caught me totally by surprise. But he's leaving tomorrow and he wants to read the information on the plane. It's a summary of our entire deal, everything we worked on.
Sharon: He cannot just pull this on you out of the blue.
Nick: I know, but I'm not gonna tell him that, all right? I wanna be the guy that gets things done. I need to be that guy. Do you understand that?
Sharon: Yes, I understand.
Nick: Okay, I'm sorry, but I gotta leave right after the ball drops. So I want to say this to you now. Look, I know we've been through a lot together. There've been some tough times. I think they made us stronger, don't you?
Sharon: Of course.
Nick: I know there's gonna be challenges and surprises ahead, but we're gonna go through them together, all right? We're rock solid, baby. I love you.
All: Ten... nine... eight.... seven... six... five... four... three... two... one... happy New Year! (Noisemakers blowing)
All: (Cheering)
Nick: All right. I gotta go, okay? Have fun.
Sharon: He's gone tomorrow. He's gone tomorrow. He's gone tomorrow.
Cameron: But I'm still here tonight. I'm leaving for the motel. You be there in a half-hour, or your marriage is over by the end of January. (Whispers) I'll see you there.
