(Telephones ringing)

Phyllis: (Sighs)

Ricky: Full credit? You gave yourself full credit and didn't even give me a nod for research? Why the hell would I let you get away with this?

(Knock on door)

Victor: I saw the article. Are you all right?

Paul: Oh, damn it.

Victoria: Hey, you know, um, I didn't make any coffee.

Nick: I don't see any point in staying then, so...

Victoria: Oh, no, no, no. Hey, get back here.

Nick: I just came to check and see how your new Beauty of Nature gig is going.

Victoria: Well, you know, I'm--I'm just kind of settling in.

Nick: If anyone earned that C.E.O. job, it is you.

Victoria: Thank you.

Nick: I'm doing double duty on this front, you know, 'cause Billy's out of town.

Victoria: Well, I really appreciate your support. God knows Dad is not going to be joining you in that.

(Door opens)

Chelsea: Hi.

Victoria: Hi, Chelsea. Ok, you know I told you that I would-- I would get the--the stuff on the nutritionist's list.

Chelsea: That's okay. I was already out, but, um... look what I found. (Chuckles) Isn't this your brother? Quite the cover boy. (Chuckles)

Nick: (Sighs)

(Doorbell rings)

Jack: Could you get that, please? Thank you.

Adam: Thank you. Jack?

Jack: Son of a-- you got a hell of a lot of nerve, showing up here, Junior.

Victoria: [Groans] Okay. All right, I love you, too. I will.

Nick: So Billy did not know about the Adam and Patty story?

Victoria: No, but he doesn't really seem angry about it, especially because the production company is even more interested in doing "Behind the scenes at 'Restless Style'" show now.

Nick: Then the story must have been all Phyllis. She told me she was killing some controversial piece because she didn't want anyone to get hurt. She must have changed her mind. Wonder why.

Ricky: My name was supposed to be in here somewhere. You broke our deal.

(Elevator door opens)

Phyllis: Our deal had nothing written about your name, and I'm editor in chief. I can do what I want.

Ricky: I gave you a blockbuster story about Adam and Patty, and now I have nothing to show for it.

Phyllis: Hey, Paul.

Paul: I came to see Billy about running the story, but I guess it's you two. So you either have no idea the damage you're causing, or you just don't give a damn.

Sharon: Maybe I'm numb. No, I'm actually not. I'm furious.

Victor: (Sighs)

Sharon: Thank God Paul had already told me that Adam was protecting Patty, and I didn't have to read it in this.

Victor: Would have been devastating.

Sharon: Or I just-- I wouldn't have believed it. Always seeing the sliver of decency in Adam, when the truth is--

Victor: I hope that you realize now that his supposed change was nothing but manipulation.

Sharon: No, I don't. I actually think that what happened to Adam in Kansas was real.

Victor: I disagree with you.

Sharon: But it doesn't excuse the terrible things that he has done. I mean, poor Paul, and Jack...

Victor: (Sighs)

Sharon: And that I-- I supported him. I helped him.

Victor: You're a very kind and forgiving soul, and I've always been proud to have you as part of the Newman family, unlike Billy Abbott and Phyllis.

Sharon: Yeah, I'm not very fond of "Restless Style." But Adam helped Patty escape from that psych facility, and when she came back to town, he didn't tell anybody she was here. It was because of that that she was able to attack Jack. When you look at it like that, Adam's done as much damage as Phyllis and Billy ever did with their words.

Adam: You're right, Jack. I do have a lot of nerve coming here, but I had to. I don't even know what to say. I sort of half-expected you to be cursing at me or screaming or kicking me off your property. I'm a bit thrown off right now.

Jack: Keep talking.

Adam: (Exhales slowly) Jack, I knew Patty was in town as Genevieve's housekeeper. I did not bring her here, but I didn't turn her in, either. In the end, I tried to stop her. You see how well that turned out. Here I am... there you are... and I'm sorry, Jack. I'm so sorry. I know this sounds like just a load of bull, but it's not. I'm... truly sorry.

(Glass shattering)

Jack: That's what I think of your apology. Your apology means squat. It doesn't take the gun out of Patty's hands. It doesn't give me back my legs. She was a ticking time bomb, Adam, and you knew it, only you let the clock tick down to zero, didn't you?

Adam: It's all true. Even I caught some of the fallout.

Jack: Oh, now we're gonna milk the blindness. Is that it? Boy, you are one pathetic piece. You came to my hospital room and told me we were both in the same boat, that Victor's to blame for bringing Patty into this town all those months ago. What was that, some kind of show? Or are you so pathological, you actually forgot you could have stopped it?!

Adam: Jack, if you remember, in your hospital room, it was you who reminded me that my father originally brought Patty back into town. He is responsible for what he did. I am entirely responsible for what I did, but so is he. I-I'm not dodging. That's just the truth.

Jack: So what's that make you? Poor man's Victor Newman? Every despicable trait you have is a direct line from Victor, only without the charm and the intelligence that that jerk used to succeed. That "Restless Style" article gave you too much credit. "Evil mastermind"-- you're too pathetic for that.

Adam: What--what article?

Jack: What, you don't know?

Adam: Jack, I'm a bit behind on my reading.

Jack: Well, the good news is you made the cover, Adam, again-- this time as Satan. The bad news-- this little mea culpa tour just went up in flames.

Phyllis: I made it clear in that article that Adam was behind Patty being free, and everything she's done in town since then was on Adam's head.

Paul: You know what? I-I don't blame you for hating Patty. She hurt Summer. Nobody's forgotten that. Patty is ill, and it tears me apart to know what she's done. It tears my mother apart, my brothers-- the entire family, or most of it, anyway. And it would break Patty's heart if she understood what she had done. But you really have no concept how much we care about her, and to see her exploited to sell ad space and magazine covers sickens me no end. And what about you? Wasn't it enough to run Heather out of town by--by taking those photos of Adam and her? You gotta tear our family apart piece by piece?

Ricky: We can do this someplace else.

Paul: We can and we will, so let's go.

Phyllis: Paul.

Paul: Oh, you are as bad as Adam! You both used Patty for your own good.

Victoria: To have all of this go public, all the people that he's hurt-- Jack and Genevieve, being conned by Patty, giving her a roof to live under so that she had free rein to--to act out, and... (Sighs) I mean, Adam could have put a stop to all of this before it got out of and. Have you seen Sharon?

Nick: Not since the article, but she already knew most of this. I'll check in with her, and with Dad.

Victoria: (Sighs) Oh, God. You know Dad's flipping out-- more exposure, more scandal.

Nick: Adam better hope Dad doesn't rip his head off, especially since Dad was just about to cut him a break. There is nothing that he hates more than being played.

Victoria: Yeah, but it's not just about getting played. I think that deep down inside, Dad is hurting for Hope's sake, you know, that they have a son like that. I... (Sighs) I'm so mad at Dad most of the time, especially after everything that he's done to Billy and me.

Nick: He's our father. No matter what happens, that'll never change.

Victor: None of this had to be made public. It's an attack on our family.

Sharon: It is. I agree with you, but to focus energy on that right now, when Adam has betrayed so many people... you know, he asked both of us for a second chance, and I was willing to give it to him.

Victor: So was I.

Sharon: I have to face that no matter what good I saw in him, he inflicted a dangerous woman on all of us, and innocent people were hurt.

Victor: Sharon, listen to me. Adam is a lost cause, okay? But his last name, unfortunately, is Newman, so I don't want this damn thing to be on every desktop and coffee table in town.

Sharon: I don't blame you. I can't believe I ever had anything to do with "Restless Style."

Victor: You know, I think back to before "Restless Style" was published-- I just remember that you and Nicholas were happy, Phyllis was Jack's obsession and problem, and Adam was too far away to cause any problems around here.

Sharon: Those were wonderful times.

Victor: Yeah.

Sharon: Things changed. But now's the time for a new start for me, without Adam. It could be a new start for you, too.

Victor: Yeah, maybe.

Jack: "Rendered sightless by Patty Williams, Adam Newman attained the title he was destined to hold-- prince of darkness, indeed."

(Tosses magazine)

(Metal clangs)

Jack: Care to make a rebuttal?

Adam: No, I'm not going to make a rebuttal. I came to make an apology. You heard me out. That's all I can ask for. Thank you, Jack.

Adam: Yes, hi, um, I-I'm gonna need help out of the house. I'm ready to go home.

Jack: Kind of tough on the shins, isn't it? See, I can't feel mine. At least I can see my bruises.

Victor: Excuse me, may I see that menu? Can I see it? So you work here now, huh?

Anita: I need some pocket money, now that the "Ship" I was expecting didn't come in.

Victor: Mm-hmm.

Anita: Thank you very much, Billy Abbott.

Victor: Billy Abbott is a punk.

Anita: Mm-hmm.

Victor: But their baby isn't due for a while, so you and your daughter can... do what you came here to do.

Anita: Except they're gonna see it coming now. Besides, Billy and Victoria are attached at the hip. You couldn't get them apart with a crowbar.

Victor: Uh-huh. A crowbar and Billy Abbott-- that's very interesting. Is this still available today? Thank you.

Anita: Meanwhile, a girl's gotta stay busy.

(Cell phone vibrates)

Victor: Yep. Oh, excuse me.

Anita: (Sighs)

Chelsea: Hey.

Anita: (Gasps) Honey, did you come to kiss and make up?

Chelsea: You tell me that you found my father, but you won't tell me where he is? I deserve to know him. You owe me that.

Phyllis: Sales indicate that we did the right thing. Uh, I have to go. I'll talk to you later.

Phyllis: I'm not defending my editorial decision to you.

Sharon: You know, I'm not a fan of your tabloid snark or the fact that you've once again painted me like a patsy, but I am kind of glad that the article came out.

Phyllis: Good. Buy another copy, if you want.

Sharon: Yeah, maybe I should do that. I'll spread 'em all over the house as a reminder that I did the right thing by cutting Adam out of my life for good.

Chelsea: Get your hands off of me.

Anita: (Hisses) Please. Save the "Little woman" act. Everyone knows you're getting ready to hand that baby over without thinking about anyone but yourself. Get your head on straight, and then we can talk about your daddy.

Chelsea: I am thinking about my kid. Why don't you try it sometime?

Anita: (Inhales slowly)

Chelsea: Tell me where to find my father.

Anita: If you want a name, then you're gonna have to remember your responsibility to this family tear up that deal that you made with Billy to hand over the baby free and clear.

Chelsea: Look--

Jeff: Um, am I doing the water at table 12, or are you?

Anita: (Inhales slowly) Uh--

Chelsea: (Sighs) You're incredible.

Anita: Thanks...

Jeff: I'll do the water.

Anita: Thanks. Uh, um, hey, we are not done yet.

Chelsea: You are disgusting. And you wonder why I want this kid as far away from you as possible.

Victoria: I saw the article.

Phyllis: Cheer up, Sharon. Adam always manages to worm his way back into your life, and now that he's truly blind, who does he have to hold his hand and guide him through the darkness but you?

Sharon: No, no, actually, I'm relieved to know exactly how evil he is, how selfish and thoughtless and cowardly. You know, he had a million chances to tell me the truth, and he wanted to atone for his sins, but even he can't keep track of how many of them there are, so it's over now for good with me and Adam.

(Elevator door opens)

Nick: Hey, what's up?

Sharon: Hey. I was just thanking Phyllis. You're always the first one to call Adam out on his crimes, and this time, it's no different.

Nick: Sounds like you're really okay with this.

Sharon: Mm-hmm. So yeah, I'm--I'll-- I've said what I came to say. I'll--I'll let you get back to work.

Phyllis: It was a pleasure.

Phyllis: Phones are off the hook.

Nick: I think, uh... you know, I think Sharon meant that. I think she's grateful for the story. I didn't expect her to handle it so well.

Phyllis: Oh, shocking. I figure you two have talked about it about a dozen times by now.

Nick: Why would you think that?

Paul: You got all this from Patty at Todd's church? You cornered her and pretended that you just got there when Ronan and I arrived, when in reality, you questioned your mentally ill aunt and you lied to me and the police, so, what? So you could write a story in a national magazine? Really, Ricky? Do you really hate your family that much?

Ricky: I'm a journalist.

Paul: You know, Patty has been broken for years. She's been broken for decades, really, but there's always been some hope that she might find her way back to reality. But now, she's away from any regular psychiatric care. She is in a maximum-security prison. There is no kindness there. There is no gentleness. There is no compassion. And now she has more crimes counted against her, all because Adam helped her escape, all because Adam did not find her help when she came back into town. And you... you wanted to make a name for yourself, huh? You wanted to make money from my sister's suffering?

Ricky: The stories present themselves. The fact that I know the players-- that's not my fault.

Paul: Ohh, my God.

(Footsteps approach)

Paul: Just so you know, this is Paul Williams, about to knock you on your ass.

Nick: I assume this was the story that you weren't gonna run because you didn't want to cause any trouble.

Phyllis: Yeah, well, it's flying off the shelves, so it was a good call on my part.

Nick: So in your mind, by now, Sharon and I have talked dozens of times? Was that the plan, to prove a point by shoving us together?

Phyllis: I didn't really have to shove. You guys were standing there so warm and cozy.

Nick: What are you talking about?

Phyllis: The day before yesterday, I walked into the club. You guys were all over each other.

Nick: (Sighs) It was a hug. She was having a rough day, okay? She just found out about Adam and Patty, and she just--

Phyllis: Yeah, she was upset, so naturally, you came to her rescue.

Nick: It was a sympathetic hug. I would have done it for anyone. Is that why you ran the article, 'cause you were jealous?

Phyllis: You blame me.

Nick: Look, I know you're having a rough time right now. Your dad dying was terrible, and you're--you're going through this Lucy stuff, but... but you're stirring up trouble just 'cause I was civil to Sharon. Please tell me we're not going back to that.

Phyllis: I told you. No, I told you, I'm not standing by while you rush to Sharon every time she has a problem. I'm not doing it.

Nick: Well, are you trying to protect what we have, or are you trying to kill it?

Victoria: Adam always manages to top himself, doesn't he? I know seeing our name associated with all of the things that he's done, I know that that's not easy for you. But just so that you know, Billy had nothing to do with the story or the cover. Phyllis made that decision on her own.

Victor: It's Billy's magazine.

Victoria: He didn't approve the piece, Dad.

Victor: (Sighs) In other words, you stand by him.

Victoria: (Sighs) You know what? Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned Billy at all.

Victor: You know that Billy Abbott lives to damage our family and to ruin the bond between you and me. So did you accept Genevieve Atkinson's offer?

Victoria: Yes.

Victor: So you're gonna go ahead with it?

Victoria: Not that that has anything to do with the story about Adam, but you just want to lump it in there. You just want to put it right in there-- everything that you disapprove of, all in one big pot. You just never get sick of it, do you? I-I get sick of it.

Victor: Sharon, I would like to see you. I have a proposition for you.

Adam: You have every right to punch me.

Paul: You know how much time I have spent trying to bring my sister back to reality? Any idea at all? And my reality is now, if I were to bring her back, she would be totally devastated about what she's done. There really is no place in this world for Patty, and it's all because of you.

Adam: Paul... I'm sorry. I am-- for her, for the people that she hurt, for enabling her. I hope she gets help. I-I know that's useless to you now, but it's all I can offer. If it makes you feel any better, I'm paying for what I've done.

Paul: She will never spend a day of her life outside of her own mind or outside of a prison cell. You got off easy.

Adam: Barkeep, it's your lucky day. You get to serve the town's most hated man.

Sarge: Abbott, you're not on the schedule today.

Jack: Feel free to ignore me.

Jack: (Breathing heavily)

Jack: (Grunts)

Sarge: So what's that make? 20 times with the board? 30?

Jack: I'm not counting. I didn't come here to talk.

Sarge: No, you came in here pretty pissed off. Looked like you wanted to kill somebody.

Jack: (Grunts) Is this a lecture? I'm a little busy right now. (Grunts)

Sarge: I'm trying to back you up here. Now you channel that anger the way you're doing right now, and you just might get somewhere.

Jack: (Breathing heavily)

Jack: (Grunting)

Ricky: I wasn't sure you'd be back.

Paul: I just came back to tell you I'm leaving.

Ricky: Well, Adam's lucky you're a decent guy.

Paul: You know, Ricky, I really try. I know I wasn't much of a father to you, and I know that I didn't take enough time to get to know you the way I should have. But you're a grown man now, and from what I see, you are not a man I want to get to know.

Ricky: You can't lose something that you never had, can you, Pops?

Jeff: Here you go.

Anita: Oh.

Jeff: So, um, that little bun-in-the-oven gal you were talking to...

Anita: Mm-hmm.

Jeff: You, um, about to be a grandma?

Anita: Something like that. Do you have any kids?

Jeff: (Laughs) No. No, no way-- ah... at least, I don't think so.

Anita: Is your memory really that scrambled?

Jeff: (Sighs) You see this tooth?

Anita: Mm-hmm.

Jeff: Last night, I found out its fake. People want life to be full of surprises. It's overrated.

Anita: (Inhales slowly) Hey, Victoria. Sometimes my mouth runs faster than my brain, but you know this baby that Chelsea is having? I've got a say in what happens to him.

Victoria: Well, clearly, Chelsea disagrees with that.

Anita: Ohh. She's getting bigger by the day. She's just all full of hormones and mood swings. So she signed a deal with you. Tomorrow, she could change her mind.

Victoria: Yeah, well, I don't think so.

Anita: You don't know her.

Victoria: You see your daughter as an A.T.M., but I see a strong woman who's ready to make some good choices, who's absolutely nothing like her mother.

Anita: (Sighs)

Anita: (Sighs)

Chelsea: Hi. It's me, Chelsea. (Sighs) I didn't know about your cane.

Adam: Well, it is what some blind people use to get around.

Chelsea: Yes, I gathered that.

Adam: Well, I'm just clarifying, uh... seems as though everyone reading the "Restless Style" article is just skimming around for the juicy Satan parts. They might have missed a few details.

Chelsea: Uh, sorry. (Chuckles) I don't know about any article. I've been really busy reading up on prenatal nutrition. Um, so why don't I buy you a drink? We can exchange information, or we can talk about the weather. Did you hear? The sky turned pink. It is to die for. (Chuckles)

Adam: Busting out on the blind guy, huh?

Chelsea: (Laughing)

Adam: You're right. Drinks are on you.

Phyllis: Thank you. (Clears throat)

Nick: Just tell me if you're trying to tank us.

Phyllis: My father was a hateful, awful human being, and he promptly died. Lucy was ripped out of my arms, and she is living with a psychotic criminal who doesn't really care about her and is just using her, so I really don't have control of anything. I mean, nothing.

Nick: So printing the article was all about control? It wasn't about watching all hell break loose or to poke at Sharon?

Phyllis: I think I figure that if you and Sharon end up together, that I had something to do with it, t least, instead of constantly... wondering if, um, what we have together is enough.

Nick: I meant it when I said there is nothing between Sharon and me, all right? We just happened to bump into each other at the club. We didn't plan on meeting there. We didn't talk about it, all right? It wasn't clandestine, we aren't working together anymore, and we're not gonna work together. What more can I do to convince you that there is nothing between us?

Phyllis: (Sighs) (Voice breaking) I'm crazy and irrational. You're gonna get tired of me and walk away.

Nick: No, I won't. I'm not doing that. I'm not doing that, all right? I'm sitting right here in front of you, telling-- that's not gonna happen.

Phyllis: (Sobs)

Nick: Sharon and I have children together, and that's all. What you and I had was amazing, and... I want it back. It was good, so let us have it.

Sharon: I don't imagine this is another marriage proposal.

Victor: (Chuckles)

Sharon: (Chuckles)

Victor: Come here. It was fun wile it lasted.

Sharon: (Laughs)

Victor: Anyway, you know that I lost Beauty of Nature. Well, I intend to get it back, and I will, but meanwhile, there's nothing to stop me from developing a new cosmetics line at Newman. And who would be a better face for that new line than someone that I know is very familiar with Newman? That's you. It could be the fresh start that you were talking about.

Sharon: Really?

Victor: Yeah.

Sharon: Victor--yes, yes, I-I would love to develop a new beauty line with you.

Victor: But you and I would not be working together. Nicholas heads up that project, you know, so you'd be working with him. I think the two of you would be fantastic together.

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

Sharon: Phyllis would lose her mind.

Victor: Phyllis is a petulant child. I don't give a damn what she thinks.

Victoria: Why were you talking to Adam?

Chelsea: Because I know him.

Daisy: Phyllis, please, hand me the baby.

Phyllis: Can't you just let this baby be happy?
