Wallace: So you said you came home last night and found it like this?

Amber: Yeah, it's gotta be that did this.

Wallace: Wack jobs?

Amber: Yeah, one of those people who wrote the threatening e-mails.

Wallace: Look, why didn't you just call the police when it happened last night?

Amber: Oh... (Sighs) Nothing was stolen, and Daniel didn't want me to call.

Wallace: Nah, of course not. Where is Mr. Romalotti, by the way?

Amber: Um, he spent the day with his little sister. You know, I just kind of got all creeped out being here by myself, and--and every time I would hear a noise, I was like, oh, my gosh, are they back, you know? What's gonna happen? So you're gonna dust for fingerprints and--and talk to the neighbors and--and catch this guy, right?

Wallace: Look, you call to report a break-in almost a full day after it happened. You said nothing was stolen. Your boyfriend wasn't even concerned enough to call the police. Then he leaves you here all alone to go spend the day on a playground.

Amber: Sounds ridiculous.

Wallace: You said it, not me.

Amber: Daniel said you wouldn't believe us.

Wallace: Then he is a wise man.

Amber: You know, this is all your fault, Detective.

Wallace: Go on.

Amber: It's because of those letters and e-mails you gave Kevin about all those people who were angry with us.

Wallace: I'm still not connecting the dots. Has--has anyone threatened you or Mr. Fisher directly?

Amber: No, but it doesn't mean that they can't find us. You know, you can practically find anyone on the internet just by punching their name in a search engine.

(Door rattling)

Daniel: Detective. What'd you do, Amber?

Jana: "Stolen Terroni... Sheffer Museum... no leads."

[Jana remembering]

Daniel: (Whispering) Since my style is so close to Terroni’s, they want me to make a copy of the missing painting, you know, and then the guys from the D.O.J., they're gonna use it to lure out the thieves from underground.

Jana: (Whispering) Oh, my God. Oh, my God, Daniel, I do not like hearing any of this. I don't like hearing that you've been mixed up in something like this. I mean, even if it's legit, it's so bloody dangerous. You can't play games. These people do not play games, you know.

Daniel: Yeah, I know. Aucker's pitch was really persuasive, and I guess I just got caught up in it, but now it--

Jana: (Sighs) It just--this just sounds really, really bad to me.

Daniel: Things are definitely not what they seem, that's for sure.

Jeff: Yep, we checked out of the club yesterday.

Gloria: (Sighs) That's right, rented a penthouse. Well, you know it-- Phyllis Newman's place.

Jana: Oh, right. Yeah, where Amber used to live. I had my bachelorette party there.

Gloria: That's right, with the beautiful views, the concierge service, the whirlpool tub. (Laughs)

Kevin: And you're paying for this how?

Jeff: I'm taking care of it.

Gloria: Yeah, well, you know, I can't show any assets with that judgment against me, so Jeffrey's handling everything.

Jeff: Got her right where I want her. (Laughs)

Gloria: (Laughs) Mm.

Kevin: Look, Mom, if you need some extra money, we could use some help here for the next few weeks.

Jana: Yeah, half our staff is out because of finals.

Gloria: Oh, well, that's very sweet of you two, but Jeffrey and I have other plans.

Kevin: What plan?

Gloria: Secret for now.

Jeff: You'll come for dinner soon.

Gloria: Yeah, bring your brother. We'll open the beluga. Bye, Jana.

Jana: Bye, enjoy the penthouse.

Jeff: (Murmuring) beluga? Laying it on a little thick, aren't you?

Jana: (Sighs)

Kevin: My mother just uttered the four most frightening words in the English language-- "I have a plan." (Sighs)

Mary Jane: Oh, hi!

Nikki: Oh, hi.

Mary Jane: You didn't have to come all this way. I could've dropped it off at the office.

Nikki: Well, actually, I'm meeting my fiancé here for dinner. Would you like to join us?

Mary Jane: Oh, uh, you know, I'd love to, but I can’t. I--Jack has me working very hard at Jabot.

Nikki: Everything going on with Sharon, you'd think he'd be a little distracted.

Mary Jane: Oh, he's very dedicated. Yeah. Well, I should be going. Uh, have a lovely evening.

Nikki: Yeah, you, too.

Mary Jane: Thank you.

Nikki: What's this, a new case?

Paul: Hey, there. Not exactly.

Nikki: Now listen, mister. You promised, no work tonight.

Paul: I did. Well, it's nothing official. Actually, it's just, um, personal curiosity.

Nikki: Oh. Well, now I'm curious.

Paul: Well, um, I didn't want to talk about it until I had some specifics, but I'm coming up empty, so I think you should know.

Nikki: Don't scare me, Paul. What is it?

Paul: I'm investigating one of your business associates, Mary Jane Benson.

Victor: Well, we have never been in the casino business. Why don't you have your daughter talk to my daughter? Let's set up a meeting. Okay, all right. Bye-bye.

Jill: What do you mean, he's not seeing anyone? Victor!

Victor: It's all right, Ella. Come in, please.

Jill: Victor, I need to talk to you.

Victor: Do you? I wondered when you would show up.

Jill: Well, can you blame me? I wouldn't have lost my entire fortune if you hadn't pulled all your money out of that Cayman bank.

Victor: What the hell are you talking about?

Jill: Victor, you left me flapping in the wind.

Victor: I don't give a damn what happened to your money in that damn bank. Do you understand? None of my business. I have more important things to deal with right now, okay?

Jill: You know what? Maybe I overreacted a little. Okay, maybe I'm taking this too personally.

Victor: Yes, you certainly are. Apology accepted. Now if you'll kindly leave.

Jill: Wait, please, just hear me out for a moment? With your help, I can get all my money back. And in return, I can give you the one thing you can't have too much of.

Victor: Which is what?

Jill: Payback, Victor.

Kevin: Can you believe that my mom is relying on Jeffrey to take care of her?

Jana: Mm.

Kevin: I mean, the Abbotts wouldn't even have a judgment against her if Jeffrey hadn't turned on her in the first place. Uh, I'm thinking of cutting my ear off, and then maybe you and I can move in with mom and Jeffrey, and we can all squat together at Phyllis's penthouse. What do you say?

Jana: Yeah, sure.

Kevin: Jana! Jana, you haven't been listening to a single word I'm saying, and you've been acting weird all day. What's going on?

Jana: Nothing.

Kevin: Is this, um, is this because I'm holding on to those e-mails?

Jana: No. No, it's not. No, of course not. It's not.

Kevin: Are you pregnant?

Jana: (Laughs) N-no! No! K-Kevin! (Sighs) It's just... (Sighs) Things are just finally peaceful around here, you know?

Kevin: Yeah. Yeah, that's a good thing.

Jana: Yeah, it's a very good thing, but I just can't help shake this feeling that something really terrible is going to happen.

Kevin: Jana, nothing is gonna happen, okay?

Jana: You know, Amber started out trying to help Mrs. Chancellor, and look at how this whole thing snowballed. I mean, I lost you. What if that happens again?

Kevin: It's not gonna happen. Okay? I'm not going anywhere. Everything is great. You know, business may be a little slow, but we're getting by. Nothing bad is gonna happen, I promise you. There's no danger lurking around the corner, okay?

Jana: (Sighs)

Daniel: I thought we agreed not to call the cops.

Amber: You left me home alone, and I got scared.

Daniel: Why didn't you call me?

Amber: You're the one who's always telling me I shouldn't take on the world by myself. Why wouldn't you want me to call the cops, huh? I'm the reason why someone broke in in the first place.

Daniel: Oh, okay, you don't know for sure that those e-mails have anything to do with it.

Amber: Oh, you didn't read 'em! Those wackos are all twisted about--about me and Kevin having to pay for what we did. You know, I-- who else could it be?

Wallace: All right, I'm all done here, folks. You two can finish bickering after I go.

Daniel: Thanks, Detective. What do we do now?

Wallace: Well, I'll file a report for forcible entry, since nothing was stolen.

Amber: Well, um, what about protection? Can't you put someone outside the building to watch us?

Wallace: No, we don't have manpower for that unless, uh, we think you're in physical danger.

Amber: Well, what if we are? How am I supposed to protect myself?

Wallace: I don't know, call the governor. I mean, he helped you last time, right?

Amber: You know what? This is not a joke. I am a taxpayer. I pay your salary.

Daniel: Okay, okay.

Wallace: All right, put a new lock on the door.

Amber: Ohh, do you believe that?

Daniel: Protect and serve, right?

Amber: The nerve of that guy, and you, too, for that matter.

Daniel: Excuse me, what did I do?

Amber: Somebody broke into our home and ransacked the place, and I am the only one who seems to give a damn.

Nikki: Why would you be investigating Mary Jane? She's harmless, isn't she?

Paul: Every time I talk to her, I get this strange vibe. She's evasive. There's just something that's not right.

Nikki: Maybe she's just a private person.

Paul: It's more than that. The first time I met her at Katherine’s wedding, it was like I had known her from somewhere.

Nikki: Well, you said she reminds you of someone else.

Paul: We've met before. She got tongue-tied when she was talking about her past, and she knew that April lived in New York.

Nikki: Really?

Paul: And she tried to cover her tracks. I'm telling you, Nikk, there is something about this woman. She's familiar to me-- her--her voice, her mannerisms.

Nikki: Oh, is that so?

Paul: She's not an ex. I'm not that crazy. And she's avoiding me.

Nikki: And to think I asked her to join us for dinner tonight.

Paul: Oh, well, I bet she couldn't get out of here fast enough.

Nikki: Now that you mention it, that is true, but, my goodness, if you keep giving her the third degree, I can't blame her. I mean, what is it that you have discovered about this mystery woman? Parking tickets? A bad yearbook photo? Maybe she's the member of a militia group?

Paul: That's just it. I found nothing.

Nikki: Well, Paul, there has to be something.

Paul: A friend of mine sent all the photo I.D.'s of all the Mary Jane Bensons in the D.M.V. database. She wasn't one of them. It's like she doesn't exist.

Nikki: Well, of course she exists. She has impeccable references.

Paul: Why, did you check 'em out?

Nikki: Well, I didn't personally. That's not the kind of thing that I would do, but somebody in my office did.

Paul: Okay, well, you know me. I'm not a paranoid person.

Nikki: No, you're not.

Paul: I'm telling you, this woman is setting alarms off all over the place. I could use your help.

Nikki: Well, I'll try, but I really doubt that you'll find anything surprising.

Paul: Well, I hope that's the case, but I really don't think it is.

Victor: What payback are you talking about?

Jill: Katherine made a fool of you when she stole Neil Winters from your company.

Victor: Stop right there. Although Neil Winters leaving the company was a big loss, he did so on his own volition, all right? That was his decision, okay? Now I do not get involved in battles between you and Katherine. You got that?

Jill: Thanks to your meddling with the Caribbean bank of Corozal, I have nothing, Victor. I have nothing but half a house!

Victor: People all over the world are suffering the consequences of the financial crisis.

Jill: Oh, my God, you have your nerve. I have gone out of my way to offer you my experience, my services, all for a little income. I'm not asking you for a handout.

Victor: There's no room for you at Newman Enterprises, okay?

Jill: I just wonder if Ashley knows what kind of man she's marrying, a man who would intentionally keep her from her own father's company. Maybe I'll tell her. Is she home?

Victor: Wait a minute. Now you listen carefully. I don't like you barging into my house, first of all. Secondly, Ashley was taken to the hospital last night. She's in a very fragile state. So is the baby she's carrying, you got that? If you do anything to upset her, anything, you will have far more things to worry about than your bank account, I promise you.

Daniel: You know, Amber, Detective Wallace already had an ax to grind. I just think involving the police was pointless.

Amber: Not to me.

Daniel: Okay, did he dust for fingerprints?

Amber: No.

Daniel: Did he take pictures?

Amber: No.

Daniel: Do you think he's gonna follow up on any of this?

Amber: You know he's not going to!

Daniel: Yeah, I know he's not going to. That's why calling the cops was just a big waste of time! Where are you going now?

Amber: I'm going to see Kevin, because if the police aren't gonna protect us, at least we have to look out for each other.

Daniel: S-so you just want to keep stirring things up, huh? You want to go cause more problems and attract more attention to yourself.

Amber: Look, I know I went too far looking for Mrs. C., but this is different, okay? Someone broke into our home, and it is my fault, and I have to fix it!

Daniel: No, you don’t. You don't--

Amber: Yes, I do! I will be back.

Daniel: Yeah, is Howard Aucker in yet? Daniel Romalotti. Yeah, yeah, I've already called him four times. Uh, can you tell him that if he doesn't call me back soon, I'm gonna blow his case wide-open.

Jill: I'm sorry, I had no idea Ashley was having trouble with her pregnancy.

(Doorbell rings)

Victor: I'm warning you. Do not make threats against my family.

Jill: Look, I don't wish Ashley any harm, okay? I'm just not the kind of person who can roll over and die.

Victor: You are a resourceful woman. You find yourself a way out of this situation without involving me, you got that?

Jill: I wouldn't be in this situation if it wasn't for you.

Gloria: Of course he's going to see me! Well, hello, Victor! Aren't you looking well?

Jeff: Victor, Jill.

Jill: What are the two of you doing here?

Gloria: What are you doing here?

Jill: I am conducting business, Gloria, which is more than I can say for you two grifters.

Gloria: Oh, Victor, I guess, uh, she told you the gory details.

Victor: How dare you walk into my house like this? Whatever problems you have, you solve it on your own, all right?

Jeff: But, you see, with the Caribbean bank of Corozal folding, we find ourselves with a temporary cash flow problem.

Gloria: Yeah, and with our past association and fondness for each other, we thought you'd be willing to help us.

Jill: Oh, please, you're laying it on a little thick, Gloria.

Gloria: Why don't you shut up? This is all your fault, anyway.

Jeff: E-e-e-easy, cuddle bunny--

Gloria: No, no, no, no, no! You know, she tried to steal my husband.

Jill: "Tried"? He came running to me, Honey.

Gloria: And then out of spite, she gave him bad financial advice. Victor, we put our entire life savings into that belly-up bank. If I'd known the recommendation had come from between the sheets...

Jill: Oh, you selfish witch, you were trying to hide your money from the Abbotts.

Jeff: And I trusted you.

Gloria: She made fools out of us.

Jill: Oh, you did that all by yourself.

Victor: Would you kindly get out of here now?

Gloria: Victor, please, if you just give us a few minutes of your time, then--

Victor: I said, get out now, before I call security.

Jeff: Yeah, let's go.

Victor: Now!

Jill: Get your son to give you a job at the coffee shop.

Victor: And don't you ever dare to come into my house like this again. You got that?

Jill: And you can live off her tips.

Jeff: Right, well, this isn't over yet, Jill, not by a long shot.

Jill: I am so sorry you had to witness that.

Victor: What the hell was that all about? Are you kidding me? You two are arguing-- whatever you're arguing about, in my living room? How dare you?

Jill: I apologize for that. I've faced down worse than her. If she wants worse, she can get it.

Victor: Don't ever do this in my living room again, you got that?

Jill: I'll show myself out.

(Door slams)

[Phone rings]

Victor: Yes.

Mary Jane: It's Mary Jane. I need to see you right away.

Victor: Yes, I'd like to see you, too.

Mary Jane: I-I-I'm in my suite at the club.

Victor: All right, I'll see you there.

(Hangs up telephone)

Paul: No, it doesn't feel like we met through work. Maybe, um, a social connection, something more personal, like a family connection? I wonder if you know my ex-wife.

Mary Jane: Paul, New York is a very large city.

Paul: How did you know April was from New York?

Mary Jane: (Laughs) It was a natural assumption. I'm from New York. You thought we knew each other, right? Okay, this migraine is pounding. I really need to go lie down, all right? Excuse me.

(Groans)

(Sniffles)

Nikki: The office just faxed these over, Mary Jane's references. You're right, we never checked them out.

Paul: Why not?

Nikki: Jack vouched for her, said she was fabulous.

Paul: Well, maybe Jack looked into her references.

Nikki: No. He didn't hire her. Billy did.

Paul: I'll start making calls.

Nikki: You know, now that we're talking about this, she does seem rather eccentric.

Paul: Why? What makes you say that?

Nikki: She-she's just ou-ou-out of her depth somehow. You know, most P.R. people are social animals. She's very antisocial, almost like she's hiding something.

Paul: Well, I tell you, I can't shake the feeling that somewhere, we've crossed paths before.

Mary Jane: Don't worry, kitty. Victor's coming, and he'll know how to get rid of that mean, nasty Sharon. And then Jack will be-- he'll come back. He won't want to stay away. (Sighs) He'll come back. Yes, he will.

(Sighs)

Kevin: Uh, some. I ripped most of 'em up.

Amber: No, you didn't!

Kevin: What is your problem?

Amber: (Sighs) Someone broke into our apartment, one of those e-mail maniacs that wants us to pay.

Kevin: Did you call the police?

Amber: Yeah. Yeah, of course, and guess who showed up? Our buddy Detective Wallace.

Kevin: (Sighs) That guy would be happy never to hear from you or me again.

Amber: Yeah, and that's why we have to find out who did it.

Kevin: No. No, no, no. I promised Jana, no more playing Shaggy to your Velma.

Amber: I'm totally a Daphne, thank you very much, and this affects you, too. Where are those letters?

Kevin: Well, look, you don't know for sure who broke in.

Amber: Well, who else could it be? Somebody for Daniel? I mean, come on.

Daniel: Hello, Agent Aucker. Yes, it's Daniel Romalotti again. If you continue to not call me back, I am gonna show up to your office first thing in the morning.

(Slams cell phone down)

(Knock on door)

Jana: Hey.

Daniel: Hey.

Jana: (Gasps) Oh, my God. What's happened here?

Daniel: Oh, you know, someone just broke in last night.

Jana: Broke in?! Daniel, were you home when this happened?

Daniel: No. No, thank God. Yeah, and the only thing that's missing-- the, uh, Terroni forgery.

Jana: Oh, no. Oh, my God, did-- did you tell the man from the department of justice?

Daniel: Who, Aucker? Oh, yeah, I've been calling him all day. He hasn't returned any of my phone calls.

Jana: Oh, God, does Amber know that the painting's missing?

Daniel: I'm pretty sure she didn't realize it was gone in all this. She thinks it's some message from one of the psychos that's angry at Kevin and her.

Jana: Daniel. Daniel, listen to me. You've got to tell her the truth. You have to. Otherwise, she's gonna pull another one of her crazy stunts, and she's gonna drag all of us down with her.

Daniel: No, no, no, no. We are not telling Amber the truth.

Nikki: I didn't realize Mary Jane spent so much time in Europe.

Paul: So do you know anyone at any of those companies?

Nikki: Well, not personally, but I can certainly look into it.

Paul: Oh, don't look now.

Nikki: What?

Victor: Excuse me for interrupting.

Nikki: Hello.

Victor: I just came by to congratulate both of you on your engagement.

Paul: Oh, thanks so much.

Nikki: Thank you.

Victor: Hope you'll be as happy as Ashley and I am.

Paul: We couldn't be happier.

Victor: Excellent. Have you set a date?

Nikki: Uh, no, not yet.

Victor: Ahh.

Nikki: Genoa City seems to have been hit with wedding fever this year.

Victor: Really?

Paul: We thought we'd give everybody a break.

Victor: That's nice.

Paul: (Chuckles) Yeah.

Nikki: I was disappointed to hear that you let go of Estella. She was a very loyal employee.

Victor: Well, the reason for that is there was a lot of tension between Estella and Ashley, and, uh, I wanted Ashley to feel comfortable at our home.

Nikki: And how is she feeling?

Victor: You know, she's resting, and, uh, it's doing a lot of good. So besides that, we're expecting our new baby soon.

Nikki: Yes.

Victor: Anyway, I just came by to say congratulations, all right?

Paul: Thanks again. Good to see you.

Victor: Okay, Paul. Nice to see you.

Nikki: Thank you.

Victor: Bye.

Nikki: Bye-bye.

(Clears throat)

Man: (Whispering) Mr. Newman?

Victor: Yes?

Man: We haven't received payment for the suite this month.

Victor: Mm-hmm. (Whispering) You will receive the payment very soon. Now you'd better be discreet in the future. Don't ever talk to me about this in person again, all right?

Man: Yes, Sir.

Victor: Thank you.

Jeff: Did he buy it?

Jill: Sure did.

Gloria: Well, I say it was a big waste of time. Would somebody please remind me why we orchestrated a fight for Victor Newman?

Jeff: It's preventative, Sugarplum. As far as Victor knows, you two are in the middle of World War III over yours truly. (Chuckles)

Jill: And you just love every minute of it, don't you?

Gloria: And what does that buy us?

Jeff: Victor knows we're holding a grudge. As long as he thinks we're squabbling, it won't dawn on him that we're working together.

Jill: So we can use that to our advantage.

Gloria: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. And now what?

Jeff: We wait. I've got a guy tailing him. Victor's closet is so full of skeletons, there's no room for clothing.

Gloria: And when we find just the right one?

Jill: Then we leverage him, and we get back all the money we lost.

Jeff: Ahh, "Leverage." It sounds so much nicer than "Blackmail."

Jill: Mm.

(Cell phone rings)

Jeff: That's my guy now. Yeah, what do you got for me? So? Victor's a member of the Athletic Club. He's there all the time. What? (Chuckles) Ladies, we have our skeleton. 

Nikki: It was wrong of Victor to fire Estella.

Paul: Mm.

Nikki: After all the years she had been with him, she didn't deserve to be treated that way.

Paul: I know. New rule-- no talk about work or exes.

Nikki: What's left?

(Laughs)

Paul: Um, what would you like? Big wedding? Small? I don't care about the cake.

Nikki: Oh, cake. Well, let's just make sure that we keep it away from Jill and Katherine.

Paul: Okay, and maybe we should add no mustaches, unless, of course, uh, it's on the maid of honor.

Nikki: (Laughs)

(Cell phone rings)

Paul: I've gotta take this.

Nikki: Let's hope not.

Paul: Yeah. It could be about Mary Jane. Hello? Hey, there. Wha--how are you doing? She's sitting right across from me. Oh, you are? Really? Um, we'll be right there. Yeah.

Nikki: Wha--who--who is it?

Paul: Well, it's a surprise. Come on.

Nikki: It's a surprise?

Paul: You will see.

Nikki: (Sighs) Okay. A surprise.

Paul: (Chuckles)

Gloria: So come on. What'd your guy find out?

Jeff: Well, apparently, Victor's been paying for a room at the Athletic Club.

Jill: Oh, Jeff, Victor puts people up there all the time on Newman business.

Jeff: Yeah? Does he usually pay in cash?

Jill: Wow, that does sound suspicious.

Gloria: Well, come on. Let's go. Let's go find out who's in that suite.

Jill: No, no, no, no. That is the perfect way to tip Victor off that we're in this together. No, let me go. The manager likes me. Maybe I can get him to talk.

Gloria: And what are we supposed to do in the meantime?

Jill: I don't know. Read a book. Ooh, better yet, there is a great article in this month's "Restless Style" on dressing age appropriately.

Gloria: I'm gonna wring her neck.

Jeff: No, no, no, no. Easy. Easy. This could be the break we've been waiting for.

Victor: I want to thank you for all your time and effort.

Mary Jane: Well, I'm not giving up. Jack is still interested. He's just had too many distractions lately.

Victor: The plan didn't work.

Mary Jane: But it will. You just have to give it time.

Victor: This is the last time you will see me, and this is for your effort.

Mary Jane: (Sighs) I don't want your money. We had a plan. Jack needs to pay for what he's done.

Victor: Well, unfortunately, this involves people who might get hurt, and I don't want that.

Mary Jane: Okay, like who? Oh, damn it, Victor, you owe me an explanation.

Victor: I don't owe you anything.

Mary Jane: (Sighs) You track me down after all these years, you take me away from my life. You give me a new face, a new persona. Now you're dumping me?

Victor: This will compensate for all of your efforts, okay?

Mary Jane: Okay. Please, just give me one more month. I promise--promise, Victor. One month...

Victor: Mm.

Mary Jane: And I will get Jack away from that blonde bitch.

Victor: Mm-hmm. Now be careful, because that "Blonde bitch" happens to be the mother of my grandson.

Mary Jane: (Sighs)

Victor: She is family. I don't want her to get hurt.

Nikki: What is with all the secrecy? Why did we have to rush over here?

Paul: Oh, just follow me. You'll see. Here we go.

Nikki: (Gasps) Father Todd!

Paul: Hey!

Nikki: Oh, my gosh. Mm.

Paul: Long time, no see, bro.

Nikki: (Laughs)

Fr. Todd: (Laughs)

Jana: (Sighs) What, so Amber has absolutely no idea that you spent the entire day searching for this Aucker person?

Daniel: No, I told her I was with Summer.

Jana: Oh, God, listen to me, Daniel. You are making a massive mistake here, okay? If Amber even finds out, if she has even a clue that you might be hiding something from her, she's--

Daniel: That's not gonna be better than if she finds out what's really going on. I mean, come on. You really think we need Amber going up against the department of justice?

Jana: Oh, God, department of bloody justice. What a joke. I mean, you tell him that somebody breaks into your apartment, and Howard Aucker can't even be bothered to phone you back?

Daniel: I don't know. You know, I'm sure that he's looking into it, and he'll call me as soon as he knows something.

Jana: Yeah, well, you know what? When he does, you tell him to go get bloody lost. I just can't shake this feeling that this is gonna end really badly.

(Sighs)

Amber: "Spare the rod, spoil the child. Your parents should be ashamed of you." Hmm, harmless. Pile one.

Kevin: Listen to this. "The world shall be rid of Satan's minions-- the liars, the cheats, the thieves and prostitutes. The streets will run with the blood of evildoers."

Amber: That's really creepy. Put that one in the second pile. Okay, here we go. Uh, "What kind of backroom deal did you make with the governor? Um, how many more people will have to be harmed before, um, people like you will come to justice? Um, why is it that the man who steals food for his baby goes to prison while people like you and your sociopathic girlfriend get off scot-free?"

Kevin: He's right.

Amber: "Sociopathic girlfriend"?

Kevin: We did get pardoned.

Amber: No, they just don't know the whole story, you know? I mean, if--if you told them, if they hear--heard your side, then they'd know you're not a menace to society.

Kevin: Oh, great. Great. And how do you suggest we do that? Track down every single person who sent an e-mail and-- and give 'em a muffin basket?

Amber: I've got an idea.

Kevin: No, no. No more ideas.

Amber: No, this is a really good one, and it's a way to tell the world we're not just a couple of lunatics who got pardoned because we have friends in high places.

Kevin: (Sighs) I promised Jana.

Amber: No, you gotta do it with me. Otherwise, it's not gonna work.

Fr. Todd: Well, there were 20 of us there from the parish. Our tour guide was a deacon from Jerusalem.

Nikki: Wow, three weeks in the holy land. That sounds like the trip of a lifetime.

Fr. Todd: We're already planning our next one-- Turkey and Jordan.

Paul: Oh, my.

Nikki: Wow.

Paul: My brother the globe-trotting priest. No wonder I hardly hear from you.

Fr. Todd: Yeah, I'm-- I'm sorry about that, but, you know, between the trip and my work with the archdiocese charities, and my assignments with, uh, St. Mark's, uh, I've been a little swamped.

Paul: Yeah.

Nikki: Yeah, I'm exhausted just listening to you.

Paul: So tell me, when-- what are you doing in town?

Fr. Todd: Priest convention. I just came back from the sacramental wine tasting party.

Nikki: I do hope you're kidding.

Paul: (Chuckles)

Fr. Todd: I'm working with a bishop setting up some youth programs.

Nikki: Ahh.

Paul: Great. So, um, how long are you gonna be in town?

Fr. Todd: Oh, I gotta take the red-eye back tonight, but hey, hey, hey, enough about me. Now what's going on with you two? Mom says that you're "Living in sin."

Paul: Well, not for long.

Nikki: (Clears throat)

Fr. Todd: (Whispers) Wow.

Nikki: (Laughs)

Fr. Todd: (Normal voice) Congratula--congratulations!

Paul: (Laughs) Thanks.

Nikki: Thank you.

Fr. Todd: He's finally roped you in, huh?

Nikki: Oh, yes, and I couldn't be happier.

Paul: Yeah, and, uh, I'm sure Mom is going to be relieved when she gets the news.

Nikki: Well, I don't know. You are marrying a divorcee.

Paul: Oh, that's right. She's gonna freak out no matter what we do.

Nikki: Mm.

Fr. Todd: Welcome to our crazy family.

Nikki: (Laughs) Thank you.

Paul: (Laughs) That's true, huh?

Mary Jane: You brought me here to ruin Jack Abbott, and now you're more concerned with his ex-wife? What is it about this woman that everyone in Genoa City, every man in Genoa City, wants to protect her?

Victor: She isn't well right now. She needs protection. I'm sorry to say it's gonna be Jack Abbott to do it. But Sharon is very fragile, okay? Now, you're paid up till the end of the week. I want you to leave town, all right?

Mary Jane: And where am I supposed to go? I'm not even my old self anymore.

Victor: You're somebody new. Imagine that. I have given you a new image. You're someone else now. How wonderful. Go anywhere. Start a new life. But forget about Jack Abbott. You deserve better than that, all right?

Mary Jane: I don't want better! I want Jack. And you promised you would help me get revenge, and I am not gonna let you walk away like everyone else has. I am not giving up, not until I break Jack into a million pieces.

Victor: You pull yourself together.

Mary Jane: (Sniffles)

Victor: This is the end of a chapter. Now get out of town.

Mary Jane: Don't you dare walk out on me! Please, Victor, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. (Crying) I need you. I can't do this without you. Please? Please? Please don't leave me.

Victor: You'll be fine.

Mary Jane: Don't leave me.

Victor: All right.

Kevin: I don't want to do this.

Amber: Don't you dare chicken out on me now. Just chill. Uh-huh, okay.

Kevin: Amber, I'm gonna make a fool out of myself.

Amber: Well, I'm right there with you.

Kevin: Oh, great. That helps. This could make people angrier, you know?

Amber: Hey, I got you out of that boxcar trouble. I can get you out of this, too. Hello.

Jana: I can't believe that Amber didn't notice your painting was missing.

(Knock on door)

Daniel: Who is it?

Aucker: Howard Aucker, department of justice. Daniel Romalotti?

Daniel: You're Howard Aucker?

Paul: So do you think Mom is going to show up at the wedding in black?

Fr. Todd: Well, I'm sure she'll light a few candles for your immortal soul.

Paul: (Chuckles)

Nikki: Suddenly, I feel like a teenager, dying for my boyfriend's mother's approval.

Fr. Todd: Don't worry. Don't worry. Look, once she finds out how great you guys are for each other, she'll come around.

Paul: Well, having your blessing helps. I want you to know how, uh, much I appreciate that.

Fr. Todd: I'm not one to judge.

Nikki: Well, I'm sorry you can't perform our ceremony.

Fr. Todd: I'm sure it'll be beautiful.

Paul: But you're gonna be there, right? I mean, having you and the rest of the family there is really important. I miss you guys a lot.

Fr. Todd: Same here.

Paul: I can't remember the last time we were all together as a family.

Fr. Todd: It's been way too long.

Paul: Well, we're just gonna have to fix that, huh?

Nikki: Mm.

Paul: Of course, it won't be long before we start driving each other crazy, either. (Laughs)

Fr. Todd: Probably, but I'll tell you what, I'll make you a deal-- you put up with me, I'll put up with you.

Mary Jane: (Breathing heavily) (Gasps) Oh, no.

Gloria: So Victor's paying cash for Mary Jane Benson’s suite at the Athletic Club.

Jeff: Who is that?

Jill: That is the director of public relations for Jabot. But listen. More than that, I saw Victor coming out of her room, and she was blubbering all over the place, begging him not to go.

Jeff: (Laughing) This is too good to be true.

Gloria: And poor little Ashley, sitting at the ranch, pregnant with his baby while he keeps his mistress at the club.

Jill: Ashley's P.R. director. This is better than we'd hoped!

Victor: Well, I just wanted to check on you and see how you're feeling. Yeah? I'll be home soon.

Gloria: It's really happening.

Jeff: Yep. Victor won't know what hit him.

Gloria: (Chuckles)

Jill: And we will get all our money back.

Gloria: And more, 'cause we deserve more after all our pain and suffering.

Jill: To the downfall of Victor Newman.

Gloria and Jeff: Hear, hear!

(Glasses clink)

All: (Laughing)

Victor: I love you, too, my darling.

Next on "The Young and the Restless"...

Mac: You really want to do this?

Amber: The Los Angeles Dodgers?

Tommy: I'm Tommy Lasorda, and you're on Dodger blue live.

Devon: Well, she pulled some pretty crazy stuff to get Cane to Genoa City.

Nina: I can't wait to hear more.
