Billy: Eggs, eggs, eggs. Hey, good morning.

Victoria: Hi.

Billy: Hi. How was it wakin' up in your new home?

Victoria: Uh... (Sighs)

Billy: Yep, that's right. (Southern accent) Ain't nothin' like a double-wide, is there, baby? Whoo-hoo.

Victoria: (Sobs) Oh, no! (Sobbing) No!

Meggie: Yes, I'll give Mrs. Newman the final head count. Fine. Okay, bye.

Victor: What head count are you talking about?

Meggie: She's chairing the local benefit to the art in schools program.

Victor: Aha. Well, this new role seems to become you. I know Nikki likes it.

Meggie: You both are such wonderful people. I'm really, really glad to have the chance to get to know you better.

Victor: Are you now? That's nice.

Meggie: Well, I've never really had that many friends. But being on this ranch, I just... I'm a lucky lady, no doubt about it.

Nikki: Well, that's a very good attitude to have, Meggie.

Meggie: (Chuckles)

Nikki: Now...

Victor: Mm-hmm.

Nikki: I was hoping we could start planning our wedding today. Might you have some time later?

Victor: Baby, you know I will make some time.

Nikki: Mm.

Victor: Mm. I gotta go.

Nikki: Okay.

Victor: Okay? Do I have everything? Yep. See you later.

Nikki: Okay. Oh, were you able to reach Helen about the benefit?

Meggie: Yes, I'll type up all the details.

Nikki: You are a dream come true. You know that?

Meggie: (Chuckles)

Nikki: (Laughs)

Meggie: Happy to be of service.

Ashley: Well, how soon can you get me those revised estimates? Oh, super. Okay, yes. I'll talk to you then. Mm. Hi.

Tucker: Hello.

Ashley: Mm. What do you think our employees would say if they saw us carrying on like this?

Tucker: Well... (Sighs) Well, maybe they'd congratulate me for landing such a beauty.

Ashley: It's hard to believe I was ever really afraid of you.

Tucker: Come here, Beauty.

Ashley: Maybe-- what do you think? Maybe we should finish this after work.

Tucker: Hey, hey, hey. Who's the boss around here?

Ashley: Mm, that's what-- you are.

Tucker: Yeah.

Ashley: Yeah, Boss.

Tucker: Wait a minute.

Ashley: Guess what?

Tucker: What?

Ashley: Have you seen the latest sales figures? We're up 10%.

Tucker: 10%, huh?

Ashley: Yes.

Tucker: Well, that's impressive-- not as impressive as Beauty of Nature’s.

Ashley: Oh, come on. You gave it your best shot.

Tucker: Mm-hmm.

Ashley: It doesn't look like Victor's budging.

Tucker: Yeah, well, what about brother Jack? Didn't he say he'd find a way in?

Ashley: (Sighs)

Abby: Hey, Uncle Jack, it's your favorite niece, once again in serious need of cash. Now don't laugh, but there is this mad-sick new boutique opening in London in a month, and the designer requested that the Naked Heiress be there. Can you believe that? I don't know, must be an irony thing-- epic clothes, naked... but anyway, the bad news is, I have to pay my own way. And you know my mom and dad won't help, so I have a plan-- a way to get my hands on some of my trust money. So I want to run it by you first. Call me back. Call me.

Skye: Look at all those zeros, Baby. How big of a blast are we gonna have playing the street with Jack Abbott's money?

Adam: Why would you even want him to be an investor?

Skye: Uh, the man's rich. He's smart.

Adam: Yeah, and not to mention undeniably, unarguably, unbelievably untrustworthy. P.S.--I also happen to be suing him for millions.

Skye: Not exactly good for business, Adam.

Adam: Exactly, which is-- if I were you, I might not be racing out to cash that check.

Skye: You're telling me this, why?

Adam: Well, Victor and Michael wanted to meet with me regarding a settlement. I think they realize that if we put this thing to trial, they would lose in front of a jury, so, uh... (Sighs) You know, when the Newmans and Abbotts find out how far I'm willing to let this thing ride out, I wouldn't be surprised if Jack stops payment on that check.

(Intercom buzzes)

Victor: Yes? Send him in.

Jack: Oh, good, you're both here. I thought I'd give you the courtesy of a heads-up before you heard elsewhere.

Michael: Heard what?

Jack: My attorney has convinced the civil court judge to separate the Abbotts from the rest of the defendants. We are now separate entities in Adam's lawsuit.

Michael: Why would you do a thing like that, Jack?

Jack: Because your client here is Adam's real target. I figured if we're not joined at the hip with Newman and company, we have a better chance of convincing Adam to drop the suit against Billy and Ashley and me.

Victor: Jack, thank you for coming by. I appreciate it. You have a nice day.

Jack: Thanks. I fully intend to.

Michael: Obviously, you didn't tell him what we've been working on.

Victor: If he knew what I have up my sleeve, he'd be kicking himself.

Tucker: So what you're tellin' me is Jack's hit a wall.

Ashley: I really don't know where things stand. I wouldn't count on Jack bringing you Beauty of Nature any time soon, though. Victor's not just gonna hand over his prize division, especially to Jack, and certainly not without a long and dirty fight.

Tucker: I invented the art of dirty fighting, Darlin'. Don't you know that?

Ashley: Actually, I think I did hear that somewhere. But I know Victor, and he will stop at nothing to protect what's his. And believe me, it will get personal.

Tucker: Well, let Newman do his worst. I'm pretty good at protecting what's mine.

Ashley: Really?

Tucker: Yeah.

Jack: And here I was afraid I'd be interrupting work.

Tucker: (Chuckles)

Victor: Gentlemen, have a seat.

Vance: Adam and I are willing to settle this out of court. We're here with open minds, and we'd like--

Adam: Well, we're willing to entertain a settlement.

Michael: Well, uh, the settlement we've come up with is a little unorthodox.

Adam: As long as it has eight digits, I don't care how unorthodox it is.

(Telephone rings)

Nikki: Hello?

Kay: Uh, Darling, it's me Katherine. Uh, can you meet me? I really need to talk to you about the wedding.

Nikki: Well, aren't you psychic? My assistant and I were just gonna start going over that.

Kay: Well, then my timing is perfect. Um, meet me at the, um, golden, uh, worm, or, uh, uh, something like that, whatever the hell she named this place. (Stammers) Gloworm, yes.

Nikki: Um, okay, I'll be right there. Change in plans-- that was my friend Katherine, and I'm gonna go into town and meet with her, so, um, we'll start on the wedding then.

Meggie: I can tag along, if you like, if that’s...

Nikki: Sure, that's great. I'll get my purse.

Victoria: I'm very sorry that I lost it before. (Sighs)

Billy: Well, you know, you just had an entire life change. I mean, how often does that happen? You are entitled to have a little freak-out every now and again.

Victoria: It's just that I woke up in the middle of the night, and I was thinking about Reed, and I was thinking about, well, when it's my turn to have him, where is he gonna sleep? (Sighs) Is he gonna sleep on the foldout couch? I mean, at J.T.'s place, he has his own room. And here, he doesn't even have a place to keep his toys.

Billy: Yeah, that's true.

Victoria: It's not that I don't love it here.

Billy: Mm-hmm.

Victoria: No, I do. I-I love it here, but if I'm gonna try to get custody back, then I need to think about these things. And there's one more thing.

Billy: (Groans) What?

Victoria: Oh, it's just that your closets are so tiny.

Billy: My--

Victoria: I'm sorry. But, well, where am I supposed to put all of my clothes and my shoes and...

Billy: (Chuckles)

Victoria: (Sighs) I just... I mean, I know that you're not into having a lot of things, but...

Billy: (Clears throat)

Victoria: (Sighs) But I can't help it. I like my things. And--and I need some space. I need to spread my things out, and I need a bathroom with my own sink, and I need a great big mirror so I can look at myself, and-- I'm sorry. I'm a princess. I admit it.

Billy: (Coughs) Mm-hmm.

Victoria: But I don't think I can live in this tiny little trailer.

Billy: You know, I have the same problem when Delia’s here.

Victoria: Yeah, right? And what are we supposed to do when we both have our kids here on the same night? (Sighs)

Billy: Train wreck, yeah.

Victoria: I'm sorry. I just... I don't think it's gonna work.

Billy: Okay, um, might I suggest a solution? And bear with me, 'cause it's a little crazy.

Victoria: Okay, you have an idea?

Billy: Mm-hmm. (Clears throat) Want to buy a house together? (Chuckles nervously)

Victoria: You want to buy a house?

Billy: Yeah, get a house, you know? Like, a big house, with a big, huge suite for us, and then we can get, like, you know, little-- little bedrooms for the ankle biters, and a big backyard, maybe a dog. I don't know, this could be fun.

Victoria: Uh, I mean... well, I mean, that's kind of, like, a really huge step.

Billy: (Whispering) I know. It's, like, really huge. But what's funny about you and me... on one of our first dates, we tried to get married. (Chuckles)

Victoria: (Laughs) Oh, yes. Yes, well, when you put it that way... (Chuckles)

Billy: Let--let's do this, okay? I mean, this is the new-and-improved Victoria. I mean, you're spontaneous. You're rollin' with the punches. I mean, just come on. Let's do this before you talk yourself out of it. You want to do it?

Victoria: All right, I agree. Let's just do it. Yes, let's just go--let's buy a house.

Billy: You want to buy a house? Want to buy a house?

Victoria: Yes, let's buy a house. (Giggles)

Meggie: It is such an honor to meet you, Mrs. Chancellor.

Kay: (Chuckles) Thank you.

Meggie: (Sighs) I've read your book twice.

Kay: (Chuckles)

Meggie: (Chuckles) You've led a very fascinating life.

Gloria: She certainly has, and it was my son Kevin who rescued her when she was kidnapped. (Chuckles) As a matter--    

(Cell phone rings)

Gloria: Oh, oh, excuse me, Ladies. I really need to take this call. Enjoy.

Nikki: Oh, no problem, Gloria.

Kay: (Chuckles) All right, now what sort of wedding do you plan to have this time?

Nikki: Well, something simple. Um, elegant, of course, and something meaningful.

Kay: That fits right into my idea of what I had planned. Now see, Murphy and I were talking, and I decided that I thought it would be wonderful if you and Victor would have your wedding in my home.

Nikki: Katherine, that is such a generous gesture, but I don't want to impose.

Kay: Nikki, you have been like a daughter to me, and you know that. I would love to open my home to my two dearest friends for their wedding. It would give me great joy.

Nikki: Well, all right, since you put it that way, I accept.

Kay: (Chuckles) All right.

Victoria: So what time does the realtor get here?

Billy: (Clears throat) Well, we're gonna go meet her in about 20 minutes, and since this is so last-minute, and we have to do it today, uh, she's a newbie. I hope that's okay.

Victoria: Oh, yeah. I guess I'll have to be okay with that.

Billy: Well, the general manager says that she's very eager.

Victoria: This is gonna be fun.

Billy: Yeah.

Victoria: I mean, I've never been house-hunting before, so...

Billy: Yeah, me, neither. I bought this trailer from Murphy on a whim, so...

Victoria: What if we don't have the same tastes?

Billy: Oh, Baby, that'd be okay, as long as I can have a nice little man cave with a stripper pole in it.

Victoria: Um...

Billy: You know, for you and me.

Victoria: (Laughs)

Billy: I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I'm kidding.

Victoria: No, I know. I know that you're actually not kidding, and that's fine. That's fine, because the new-and-improved and more fun Victoria Newman says that if you want a stripper pole and a man cave, then you shall have it.

Billy: Really? You--you're--you are awesome.

Victoria: Yes. Yep, I know.

Billy: Have I told you how awesome you are? You're awesome.

Victoria: But you can tell me more in the car, 'cause I want to go look for a house. Let's go.

Billy: Okay, okay. Can we--can we look for stripper poles, too?

Victoria: Yeah, of course.

Billy: I mean, do you-- do you like brass?

Victoria: Whatever you like.

Billy: Do you like nickel? Wh-what type--wow, I love you.

Victor: Word on the street is that your "Wifey-poo" has all the money.

Adam: Is that your business?

Victor: You're just a little monster, aren't you?

Adam: Take a very good look, Pop. You recognize anything? If I'm that monster, you were Dr. Frankenstein who created me.

Vance: I think we're getting a little off track here.

Victor: You were given every opportunity in the book. You have failed. You're a loser. And I'll prove it to you once again.

Adam: I don't give a damn what you think about me. I came here for a settlement. Now make me an offer.

Victor: Who the hell do you think you're dealing with? You know what my offer is? Nothing. You won't get a damn dime-- not from me, not from my family.

Tucker: All right, can you hold on a second? Yeah. Hey, Jack, can you hang around a little while? I want to talk about our pending acquisition.

Jack: Oh, I'll be here.

Tucker: Great. Talk to me, Dave.

Ashley: Yeah?

Jack: So I knew you two were an item, but seeing it up close and personal...

Ashley: Hmm. What? Did we offend your delicate sensibilities?

Jack: I'm sure I don't have to say this, but--

Ashley: Jack, don’t. Shut up. I like him. Give him a chance. You might like him, too.

(Door opens)

Tucker: Sorry for that interruption.

Ashley: Actually, you know what? I'm supposed to be somewhere. Can you hang out for a while?

Jack: Yeah, I'll wait for you.

Ashley: Okay, I'll be back soon. All right.

Tucker: Bye.

Ashley: Mwah.

Tucker: Oh, yeah. Jack, just so you know, I've grown very fond of your sister.

Jack: Yeah, I caught on to that when I first came in. I hope you're on the level with her.

Tucker: Oh, my intentions are noble where Ashley's concerned, much less so where Victor's concerned. So tell me, have you found a foothold in with Beauty of Nature?

Jack: I have.

Tucker: Really? What do you got?

Jack: Not another word until you sign this binding 3-year deal to make me co-C.E.O. of Jabot with Ashley.

Tucker: (Scoffs)

Tucker: You want me to promise you a job in writing before I know what you're offering-- that's asking a lot, Jack.

Jack: I have the goods, Tucker. You can take it to the bank. This is not negotiable.

Tucker: We already have a contract, don't we? It spells out the terms of our agreement. What are you so nervous about now?

Jack: Not a damn thing, once you sign that. No tricks, no deception-- a standard executive contract. Two copies, my signature on both-- you add yours, I start talking.

(Cell phone rings)

Tucker: Can you excuse me? This is Tucker. Yeah. Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

Jack: (Sighs)

Tucker: Oh, you look comfy. (Chuckles)

Jack: I spent most of my life here, Tucker. This company is in my blood. Whenever I'm here, I'm home.

Tucker: Yeah, I see that. Let me tell you something, Jack. Your sister is gonna be real mad at you if you're messin' me around. All right, welcome home, Jack. Now time to spill the beans. What's your strategy for prying Beauty of Nature out of Victor's hands?

Jack: Well, we're gonna use a secret weapon.

Tucker: What secret weapon?

Jack: Not what-- who, someone who is especially close to Victor, who's already agreed to help me.

Ashley: Hey, could I get a-a, uh, I don't know, a café au lait or something?

Abby: Hey, Mom. Hey.

Ashley: Hi. I was just listening to your message, Honey. What's up?

Abby: Hey. Um, I've been thinking about what the judge said about how I need to start acting more mature if I want to be taken seriously. So do you think if I enrolled in some college classes and maybe got a part-time job that you and Dad would consider giving me some of my inheritance?

Billy: (Speaking indistinctly)

Victoria: Mm-hmm.

Gloria: Oh, well, hello, you two. Certainly picked a beautiful day to go shopping.

Victoria: Shopping?

Gloria: For homes. And there's so much to choose from right now.

Billy: Okay, how did you know that we were lookin' for a home?

Gloria: Because I am your new realtor.

Billy: You are not a realtor.

Gloria: Oh, yes, I am. I got my license about the same time Jeffrey and I moved out of the penthouse.

Victoria: Why?

Gloria: Why? Because I'm smart.

Billy: (Chuckles)

Gloria: And it's good to diversify. And I'm well-connected, know this town like the back of my hand.

Victoria: Yeah, uh, well, you are also the biggest gossip in the upper Midwest.

Billy: Yeah.

Gloria: You wouldn't believe what goes on inside a nightclub when they say, "Nobody's looking."

Billy: Actually, I--

Gloria: Unh, unh, unh, unh. Shh. That's business, and I am discreet. So got some fabulous listings. Should we get started? Hmm?

Billy: (Chuckles)

Vance: My client didn't come in to be insulted. If Mr. Newman has a serious offer, we--

Michael: He just gave you his offer.

Adam: Okay, that's it. Thank you, Gentlemen, we are done.

Victor: No, Son, you're done. Someone will come that will shine a very bright light on your miserable character. Okay?

Kay: Now we could have the ceremony out by the pool, or unless you prefer something more formal.

Nikki: Well, you know, that gazebo out by the rose garden?

Kay: Mm-hmm.

Nikki: It's so serene there.

Kay: Yeah, it's lovely. Now reception-- you want-- still want that out by the pool, or would you rather have it inside?

Nikki: I don't really care-- either one. The most important thing is Victor and I are getting married.

Kay: For the last time, I hope.

Nikki: Katherine, I promise you.

Kay: (Sighs)

Nikki: This time when we walk down the aisle, and we say, "Till death do us part," we're gonna mean it.

Victor: Kindly explain to Mr. Abrams what you told Michael Baldwin.

Skye: I've always known you were alive. You planted that ring in the stables to help me fake my death. We were in constant contact the whole time I was in South America. That's where I wrote the diary you used to blackmail Dr. Taylor, which you lied about at your criminal hearing.

Adam: No, no, no, no, no. Skye, you're the one who's lying.

Skye: Oh, come on, Adam. It's over. Drop this idiotic lawsuit.

Adam: Not a chance in hell. No. Nothing you said has anything to do with the injustices perpetrated against me.

Victor: Son, if this goes to trial, Skye will testify for our side. She will tell the jury what a con artist you are. That's your wife. How do you think that's gonna sit with the jury?

Adam: Oh, I know what this is about. This is about money, the fact that you can't stand the idea that I would have some of my own. You, Dear, just want me under your little thumb. You are nothing if you're not a greedy, controlling little witch.

Skye: You say that like you're surprised.

Vance: I'd like a moment to speak with my client.

Victor: Sure.

Victor: That's the problem with this young generation-- no respect.

Ashley: Your father and I already offered you a check for a substantial amount of money in exchange for more appropriate behavior. Do you remember that?

Abby: (Sighs)

Ashley: And as I recall, you turned us down.

Abby: Because the amount you proposed didn't even begin to cover my expenses.

Ashley: What expenses are you talking about, Abby?

Abby: (Scoffs)

Ashley: What is the money for?

Abby: Well--

Ashley: And don't say it's for the animals, because that's getting very tired.

Abby: I get it, okay? It finally dawned on me that if I am an irresponsible, spoiled brat, why would anyone hand me millions of dollars, okay?

Ashley: You didn't quite tell me what the money's for. Don’t. I have a pretty good idea. Look, I'll talk to your father, all right? And I'll get back to you, Honey.

Abby: (Sighs)

Abby: Hey, it's me. Since you never called me back, I decided to give my plan a try, but I think it was a bust, so the sooner you can help me get some of my money from Dad, the better, okay?

Tucker: So this, uh, secret weapon who's close to Victor?

Jack: His own daughter.

Tucker: Victoria?

Jack: Abby. She is not only an Abbott, she is a Newman. She is primed for battle with "Daddy Warbucks," and she is desperate to get her hands on her trust fund money.

Tucker: So this whole "Naked Heiress" thing-- how's it been working out for her so far?

Jack: Oh, that's been slow going. The judge already threw out her first lawsuit. I'm suggesting another approach, one based on some painstaking research I've done myself.

Tucker: Research of?

Jack: The contents of the Newman trust, Abby's share in particular. If I have my way, her old man's holdings are about to blow up.

Tucker: Victor's holdings and Abby's holdings...

Jack: Are one and the same.

Tucker: So if Victor controls the trust, which he does, then he makes all of her investment decisions. And I'm guessin' Abby's portfolio is pretty heavily weighted toward Newman Enterprises.

Jack: Abby has a piece of everything, Tucker.

Tucker: Including our takeover target.

Jack: Newman has invested the trust wisely, for the most part, with a few notable exceptions. A couple of major financial disasters-- startups that went bust and cost the trust a small fortune.

Tucker: You're gonna go after him for mismanagement.

Jack: Oh, I'm not. Abby is. With my help, she'll go after him again with a lawsuit, this time on fiduciary grounds. And if she wins, and she gets full share of what she has coming to her...

Tucker: Including the losses.

Jack: Newman's empire is gonna blow wide-open.

Vance: In light of Mrs. Newman's revelation, we'll drop the suit against your family.

Victor: That's a wise move.

Victor: Son, this is a very dangerous game.

Michael: Well played.

Victor: Mm-hmm.

Tucker: Well, Jack, you've definitely lived up to your reputation.

Jack: Thank you, I think.

Tucker: So Abby will go along with this?

Jack: I've got that covered.

Tucker: Then I foresee only one problem.

Jack: You don't have to worry about Ashley.

Tucker: Abby is her daughter. Ashley still has some authority over that money, too.

Jack: Abby will be suing for her share of the Newman trust, not the Carlton trust that her mother oversees.

Tucker: The real problem is, Ashley won't be happy that we're using her daughter to go after her father.

Jack: What Ashley doesn't know won't hurt her.

Tucker: Weren't you just preaching to me about being on the level with your sister?

Jack: In matters of the heart, yes. Business is business. Do we have a deal?

Tucker: All right, we have a deal.

Ashley: Hey. What are you guys doing? What are you shakin' on?

Jack: Mr. McCall just made me an offer I couldn't refuse.

Tucker: I just, uh, hired Jack as co-C.E.O.

Ashley: Wow. I thought you had to produce Beauty of Nature first.

Tucker: Oh, effective immediately. I know how much you wanted him on board.

Ashley: Well, thank you.

Tucker: I've got a meeting at Crimson Lights with a client, so I'm gonna take off.

Jack: Pleasure doing business.

Tucker: Yep. Bye.

Ashley: Bye.

Billy: (Chuckles)

Gloria: (Sighs) Okay, this is the very first house we're looking at.

Victoria: Uh, yeah, uh, listen, I know that retro is sort of in right now--

Gloria: Yes, it is, Victoria, and this house is precious. It's like stepping back in time. Want to take a little peek?

Billy: Lead on, "Macduff."

Victoria: Oh, my God. "Father Knows Best." (Gasps)

Billy: Oh, yeah. Huh.

Gloria: (Chuckles)

Billy: Wow.

Gloria: The owner is a complete media buff, so his dream was to replicate the TV homes of the 1950s as faithfully as he could.

Victoria: Well, he really succeeded.

Gloria: Isn't it fantastic? (Laughs) And, of course, the furniture, the drapes, even the lighting, all custom-made, so, of course, it stays. I mean you can really feel the love that went into this home.

Billy: Why is he selling?

Gloria: He's selling, believe it or not, because he found another home that's almost identical to the one that was on "The Brady Bunch." So, of course, he has to modernize that one, in a manner of speaking.

Victoria: (Chuckles) Well, everybody needs a hobby.

Gloria: Yeah. Four bedrooms, three and a half baths, um... and a dynamite master suite. Would you like to see some more?

Billy: Yeah.

Victoria: Well, you know, I mean, we're here, so we might as well, right?

Gloria: Exactly.

Billy: Yeah. Sure. Yeah, let's do it.

Victoria: Okay.

Gloria: Dining room is this way.

Victoria: Is this, like, a total coincidence, or what? I mean, you remember you and me and the "Father Knows Best" thing?

Billy: Yeah.

Victoria: And now here we are. We're standing in an exact replica of the Andersons' living room.

Billy: Total, total, total coincidence. I mean, it's crazy.

Victoria: It's crazy. I definitely could not live in a place like this, though. Could you?

Billy: Yeah, no way. Unh-unh.

Gloria: Victoria? Billy?

Victoria: Uh, yeah. We're coming.

Billy: Let's go. Hmm.

Victoria: Oh.

Kay: Flowers?

Nikki: Flowers.

Kay: Mm.

Nikki: Well, I think we should determine the color first, and white goes with everything.

Kay: (Chuckles) Oh, Nikki, you and your calla lilies.

Nikki: But I love my calla lilies.

Meggie: Are those your favorite?

Nikki: Well, I've had them at every wedding to Victor Newman.

Meggie: (Chuckles) How many have there been?

Kay: (Chuckles) Depends on who you ask.

Nikki: That's a good answer. I'm gonna use that.

Meggie: (Chuckles)

Kay: (Chuckles) Now when, uh, when are you gonna set a date for this wedding?

Nikki: Well, I don't know. I mean, it's just gonna have to be a matter of us looking at our calendars. Things have been so hectic lately.

Meggie: Any of you ladies thirsty? I hear they make a mean Moscow mule here. (Sighs)

Nikki: Well, Meggie, I don't drink, and neither does Katherine.

Meggie: Oh. Actually, you-- you mentioned that to me the other day. I'm sorry.

Nikki: It's all right.

Kay: Yeah, well, it was an honest mistake.

Meggie: Um, how about a ginger ale then?

Nikki: Listen, have them put a straw in mine, will you?

Meggie: Sure thing.

Kay: Now are you settled on the calla lilies?

Nikki: Of course I'm settled on the calla lilies.

Meggie: Three ginger ales, and make one of them a vodka and ginger ale, and put a straw in that one.

Victoria: Well, I'm just-- what do you think?

Billy: Well, I mean, it's, you know, it's--

Victoria: I mean, the-- the Jack-and-Jill bedrooms would be perfect for Reed and Delia, right?

Billy: Yeah. Yes.

Victoria: And there was a huge master closet. I didn't know that they made those kind of closets in the '50s.

Gloria: Well, you have to have someplace to store those fluffy crinolines.

Victoria: The--the storage. The storage is great.

Billy: Mm-hmm.

Victoria: And the backyard-- what about the backyard?

Billy: It's nice.

Victoria: It's nice, right? And the stone-- old-fashioned stone fireplace.

Billy: I know.

Victoria: And the covered patio. I'm just curious, how soon would the owner be willing to close on it?

Gloria: Well, if you made a cash offer without too many contingencies...

Victoria: Which we would. I mean, we would do that. If--no, if--

Billy: You're, um, being pretty obvious, aren't you?

Victoria: I mean, if we--

Billy: Tell you what, we'll take it.

Gloria: Oh, my God.

Victoria: What? Oh, my God. We'll take it?

Billy: We'll take it.

Victoria: We'll take it!

Billy: We'll take it.

Gloria: My very first showing, and I make a sale! Oh, excuse me. I'm sorry. But, oh, the other agents at the office are gonna be so excited for me.

Billy: You'll be a legend. You'll be a legend. Up top, legend.

Gloria: Very soon, Billy Abbott, very soon. You two wait here, and, uh, I'll get a contract.

Billy: Okay. You happy, "Margaret"? (Chuckles)

Victoria: (Laughs) This is our home, Billy. We're standing in our home.

Billy: (Whispering) We’re standing in our home.

Victoria: (Whispers) Yeah.

Billy: Standing in our home. (Laughs) (Normal voice) Mm.

Ashley: Wow, how'd you do it? Co-C.E.O. How'd you pull it off?

Jack: How'd I pull off what?

Ashley: Don't pretend with me that you and Tucker are all of a sudden best buddies.

Jack: You heard your boyfriend. He did it for you.

Ashley: Yeah, I hope that's all there is to it.

Jack: Ash, this has been a long time coming, a very long time.

Ashley: Well, and you are an Abbott, right? You belong at Jabot. Think how pleased Daddy would be.

(Telephone rings)

Ashley: Oh. It's grand central around here.

Ashley: Ashley Abbott. You're kidding me. No, he's right here. I'll tell him. Thanks. Oh, my God.

Jack: What was that?

Ashley: That was the lawyer. He was trying to get in touch with you. Check your cell phone.

Jack: (Scoffs) It's off. What? Your face is white as a sheet.

Ashley: The lawyer just heard from Michael. Adam dropped the Newmans from his lawsuit.

Jack: That means we're hangin' out there alone. How did Victor pull this off?

Adam: First, you sell me out in Brazil, and now this? You're just like my jerk of a father. You think you can control people's lives.

Skye: You need to get a grip. Concentrate on our hedge fund and your commitment to me.

Adam: Are you serious? 'Cause you can't tell me what to do, Sk--

Skye: I am calling the shots now, Love. Get used to it.

Tucker: Hey. Double espresso, please.

Abby: Hey, "Friar Tuck." What's shakin'?

Tucker: Well, that's a first. A polite young woman might address me as "Mr. McCall."

Abby: In case you haven't noticed, I'm not a polite young woman.

Tucker: Mm.

Abby: I'm trying to become one, though. It's killing me, but I figured it's worth a try.

Tucker: New strategy for gaining access to your trust?

Abby: You think it'll fly?

Tucker: I've got a feeling things are gonna work out just fine for you, Abby.

Abby: That, Friar Tuck, is exactly what I needed to hear.

Michael: That's right. I should be home for dinner. (Chuckles) No, don't faint.

(Knock on door)

Michael: Oh, wait. Uh, someone's here. I'll see you soon. Bye. (Makes kissing noises) Oh, uh, Vance, forget something?

Vance: That was quite a turnaround you pulled off.

Michael: Yeah, well, just, uh, protecting my client.

Vance: Now the Newmans are off the hook, I'd prefer the Abbotts didn't find out what Skye had to say.

Michael: Well, I don't plan on sounding any alarms, but, uh, I can't promise the same for Victor.

Meggie: Here you go, Ladies. I got an extra one for Victor just in case, and I believe you wanted a straw.

Nikki: Yes, thank you very much.

Kay: (Chuckles) Oh, Darling, Victor, Victor, Victor. Mwah. Hello there.

Victor: Katherine.

Nikki: I see you got my text?

Victor: Yeah. What is this about a surprise? Excuse me. Meggie.

Nikki: Well, Katherine has made a very sweet offer.

Kay: Yes, a sweet offer.

Victor: Really?

Kay: Uh-huh. Murphy and I were talking about it, and we would love to host your wedding at my home.

Victor: I'll be damned. That's very nice.

Nikki: I already said yes, so I hope its okay.

Kay: (Chuckles)

Victor: You bet it is. And you say thank you to your husband.

Meggie: A toast to Nikki and Victor and a lifetime of happiness.

Kay: Uh, all right.

Nikki: Oh, thank you.

Kay: I'll drink to that.

Victor: All right.

(Glasses clink)

Nikki: Sir.

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

Skye: I am not prepared to discuss that with you, Jack, unless there was something in it for me.

Jana: Can you just give me another chance? Can't we just try?

Victor: What's that on your shoulder?

Billy: (Chuckles)
