Michael: You saw Lauren out there, right?

Phyllis: Yes, in the hallway. Ooh, tables have turned. Now it's Lauren getting called into work at all hours of the evening.

Michael: All hours, right. Yes, that's very funny, but it was a minor fam-- it was an emergency. It shouldn't take long.

Phyllis: (Chuckles) Okay, I am mostly here to talk to you. Listen, we have got to devise a plan to get Daniel full custody of Lucy when he ends his marriage to that freak Daisy, please.

Michael: All right, all right, all right, Ma'am, let me stop you right there. I will not be able to help you with that.

Avery: Hey. I've been meaning to call you. Did you ever meet up with that friend of Ricky's ex that said he had information for you?

Paul: Hi. No, and I never will.

Avery: Oh, my God. This is the guy?

Paul: He died in a crash on his way to talk to me. I'm trying to convince myself it's a coincidence.

Avery: You think Ricky might be responsible?

Paul: (Sighs)

Ricky: "New clients, Mr. and Mrs. Danny Romalotti. Court-mandated marital counseling."

Ricky: What could have possibly gone wrong?

Chris: You're leaving town already?

Danny: Yeah. (Sighs) I've got a show tomorrow night in L.A.

Chris: Oh. Well, I guess we're lucky to have crossed paths at all.

Danny: Hey... let's not let it go this long again, okay?

Chris: Do you have to leave right away?

Danny: No. Not immediately.

Chris: Okay, good. I'm just not quite ready to say good-bye.

Victoria: Oh.

Billy: Huh?

Victoria: You know, I think I'm in the mood for something island-y, like, oh, yeah, a bikini martini. Yummy. That sounds good. I-I'm gonna get that. What do you think? Billy?

Billy: Sorry. Um, I was just thinking about you and a bikini and Jamaica and... (Mumbling indistinctly)

Victoria: All right. Okay.

Billy: Mm-hmm.

Victoria: Good, so carry on. I'll just order for you.

Billy: Oh, yeah? No, you're not. No way. I know what you're up to. You're trying to get me all good and liquored up so that you can have the edge at the arcade. No.

Victoria: Mm, seriously, I'm gonna clean your clock, anyway, so you might as well get sloshed, so then you'll have an excuse.

Billy: Oh, I'm not gonna take it easy on you, at least not on video games, but everything else, I am very, very, very easy.

Victoria: You are so easy.

Billy: I'm so easy.

Victoria: Oh, don't I know it?

Billy: I'm so easy.

Victoria: (Laughs)

(Footsteps approach)

Victoria: Oh.

Billy: What?

Victoria: Uh...

Billy: Oh, boy.

Victor: Good evening.

Billy: It was.

Sharon: (Clears throat) We won't interrupt your date night. I realize how precious time alone together is.

Victoria: Oh, no. No. Are you kidding me? It's great. Who wouldn't love seeing their father and sister-in-law making googly eyes at each other all night?

Michael: (Chuckles)

Phyllis: District Attorney Baldwin.

Michael: Uh-huh.

Phyllis: Oh, my. What happened to that unethical scoundrel that I knew and loved?

Michael: Yeah.

Phyllis: You're all establishment.

Michael: I know, right?

Phyllis: Oh!

Michael: It happens to the best of us.

Phyllis: (Gasps) This is fantastic news. Congratulations. (Chuckles)

Michael: Thank you. I'm sorry it means that I won't be able to work Daniel's case.

Phyllis: Oh. (Groans)

Michael: But... you could always hire Avery.

Phyllis: Can't hire Avery. She works for Victor now.

Michael: For you, she would make time.

Phyllis: (Sighs) So this is why you were talking to the mayor.

Michael: Yeah, at the same time you were chatting up Christine and Danny, which I have to say, was a little odd to see.

Phyllis: Christine and Danny, they can do what they want. They no longer affect me.

Chris: So L.A. tomorrow?

Danny: Yep, L.A. Then I've got San Francisco, Seattle, Vancouver... and I forgot what's after that. (Chuckles)

Chris: Don't you get tired of traveling so much?

Danny: No. Well... except when I find myself someplace that I don't want to leave.

Chris: I'll bet you wish you could spend some more time with Daniel and Lucy.

Danny: Mm. Especially having to leave them with Daisy (Sighs) Phyllis was right about her, you know. And I know what you're thinking. But Phyllis has acknowledged the similarities between herself and Daisy...

Chris: (Scoffs)

Danny: Their tactics.

Chris: Yeah, wow, such self-awareness. Too bad she didn't have it back in the day.

Danny: Things might have been very different.

Chris: We should probably talk about what happened. I-I...

Danny: Sure, yeah.

Chris: It's just amazing to me that we can go a year with hardly any contact, and then...

Danny: Yeah.

Chris: Suddenly, I see you, and...

Danny: Right. Right. I mean, it all comes flooding back. It's, uh... (Sighs) Even stronger than before.

Chris: Yeah, I-I guess it means we'll never lose that... connection, and I'm glad about that.

Danny: Yeah. It means a lot more than that. It means we shouldn't be apart in the first place. Come with me.

Chris: To L.A.?

Danny: L.A., Seattle, San Francisco--wherever. Let's do it. It'll be a blast. You know it will. And then we'll see where it takes us. Hey, who knows? Maybe after all these years, we'll finally get it right.

Ricky: "Mr. Romalotti openly acknowledges his bitterness and resentment towards his wife. Declared almost immediately he never loved her and only married her because of the child." Ouch, Phyllis. What do you have to say about that? "He's never honestly tried to make this marriage work"...

[Scene from the past]

Phyllis: He's never tried to make this marriage work ever. If he had...

Danny: (Sighs)

Phyllis: If he had given me half a chance, we would not be in this office today. So no, Doctor, I don't believe it's hopeless.

Dr. Reid: Well, we certainly have our work cut out for us. I'd like to see you individually. I think I'll start with you, Mrs. Romalotti. Shall we set up an appointment now?

Phyllis: That's fine.

Ricky: Hmm. Here we go. The private sessions.

[Scene from the past]

Phyllis: (Sighs)

Dr. Reid: Are you saying you... (Sighs) Are denying your husband's allegations, Mrs. Romalotti?

Phyllis: Yes. To say that I drugged him so he'd have sex with me... (Sighs) It's ridiculous.

Ricky: (Chuckles) A little bit clearer now why Daisy drives you nuts, Phyllis. She reminds you too much of you.

Victor: Obviously, we're gonna run into each other from time to time, so there's no reason to be uncomfortable, okay?

Victoria: Okay. And even if your children are uncomfortable seeing you with Sharon, of all people, we're supposed to just shove a sock in it?

Victor: Precisely.

Billy: Okay, um, I think-- yep, that's our table. It's ready. We're gonna go sit down.

Victoria: Have a good night.

Billy: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm.

Victor: Sorry about that.

Sharon: Oh, no. No. I-I'm used to it. But, um, obviously, it bothers you.

Victor: Unfortunately, I'm used to it, too, okay?

Billy: We could go somewhere else.

Victoria: And let them chase us out of her? No. I'm fine.

Billy: Right. But it is a buzz kill.

Victoria: I'm just gonna ignore them, all right? And speaking of buzzes...

Billy: (British accent) Ooh, yes. Martinis. Just a minute. (Normal voice) I will get-- there's not a waiter--slow. You... stay... here.

Victoria: (Sighs)

Billy: Hey, uh... you... could have...

Victor: Something you wanted to say?

Billy: Yeah. I was gonna ask him for some drinks, as our waitress seems to have forgotten.

Victor: Victoria calm down?

Billy: Oh, she's fine. I guess it is a little weird seeing your father out with your former sister-in-law, but hey, whatever. (Chuckles)

Victor: For your information, Victoria had plenty of time to discuss that with me in private. I wish she hadn't tried to humiliate Sharon.

Billy: Oh, yeah, that's right, because you're so deeply and morally against humiliating anyone. I mean, that's never happened.

Victor: Mm-hmm. You know, I thought you and I were beginning to see eye to eye.

Billy: We have?

Victor: Yeah. I remember you and I had a discussion not too long ago where you said you understood why I despised you as much as I do.

Billy: (Chuckles) Okay.

Sharon: Can we... call a truce for you father's sake? I-I know that you don't mean to hurt him, and--and he would never admit that you'd gotten to him.

Victoria: No, you really are just playing this to the hilt, aren't you? You're so nurturing and supportive-- such a perfect lady.

Sharon: So my concerns can't possibly be genuine? Is that what you're saying? I mean, your father and I have had a bond that goes back decades.

Victoria: Yeah. Yeah, you've been my father's pet for a long time. I guess now you're just looking to be promoted, which has nothing to do with your concern for him.

Sharon: Well, think what you want. Your father knows best.

Victoria: My father likes pretty women. He likes having his ego soothed. You know, it may be enough to keep his attention, but it won't keep it for very long, Sharon. For that, you have to have a little more substance. You have to have something going on, something to offer. Oh, unfortunately, that's where you fall short. But I really wouldn't worry about it too much, because I'm sure there will be some lovely, lovely parting gifts.

Avery: It's hard to see how Ricky could be involved. This looks like a classic D.U.I.

Paul: Yeah, well, that's what Christine said. (Sighs) But I talked with Craig Hunt on the phone not long before that accident, and there were absolutely no signs of intoxication.

Avery: Paul... if there's any chance that Ricky could be a murderer, I have to warn Phyllis.

Paul: I would hold off on that.

Avery: Paul.

Paul: It's merely speculation at this point. And even if it is true, I think Phyllis would be better off not knowing.

Avery: How can you say that?

Paul: Because Phyllis is Phyllis. Is there any doubt in your mind that she would take matters into her own hands and--and--and put herself in the line of fire?

Avery: Well, she's crossed Ricky more than once already. She may be in the line of fire.

Ricky: "Phyllis' fixation on Danny and Christine continues to intensify she sees Christine not merely as a rival but an existential threat-- this, in spite of the fact that Christine's moved on with another man-- Paul Williams."

Ricky: "Attempted again today to challenge Phyllis' distorted perception of Christine. She grew angry and compared me to Paul, whom she considers dangerously naive." Well, pretty much nailed that one.

[Scene from the past]

Phyllis: So you just make sure your fiancé doesn't become confused these last few weeks before she remarries, because if there's any question about it, I will never let Danny go. I love him too much. Cricket... she did call off the wedding because of Danny. Well, you are not going to get him, Cricket. No way! I will not let you have my husband. It is not going to happen.

Ricky: Well, if Dad was no help, how did you manage it, Phyllis? How did you keep Danny and Chris apart? (Rustles papers)

Danny: I'll bet you have weeks of unused vacation.

Chris: Yeah, but you're not just talking about taking time off.

Danny: I want to be with you. I have always wanted to be with you.

Chris: We missed our chance.

Danny: We're single. We're both consenting adults.

Chris: Yeah, who have different lives very far apart.

Danny: We can be creative.

Chris: Oh, gosh. So what, me or you or both of us, we totally reinvent ourselves?

Danny: Okay. Maybe, um... (Scoffs) Maybe it's not my most realistic idea. I... I would have shown you the time of your life. (Chuckles)

Chris: I have no doubt. (Sighs) You have a plane to catch. You've got to go. (Sighs)

Danny: Yeah. (Sighs) Yeah. Good luck with your case and, you know, everything.

Chris: Okay. You, too. (Chuckles)

Danny: Yeah.

Chris: Okay. (Sniffles)

Danny: (Sighs) All right, you take care, okay?

Chris: (Sniffles) Yeah.

Danny: Okay.

Chris: (Sighs) (Sighs) (Sniffles) (Sighs)

Michael: Hey, you.

Chris: (Sighs)

Michael: You okay?

Chris: Yeah. I could use a friend. (Chuckles)

Michael: Use away.

Phyllis: Did Michael tell you that I wanted to see you?

Avery: Uh, I was just at Crimson Lights, and I thought you might like a scone.

Phyllis: Oh, thank you. A scone.

Avery: Mm-hmm.

Phyllis: Did you bring enough for both of us?

Avery: Yes.

Phyllis: Not really. (Chuckles)

Avery: Its four scones.

Phyllis: Um...

Avery: So you and Michael were talking about me?

Phyllis: Um... well, I mean, not--not really. This is the thing is he's gonna be so busy D.A.'ing, he can't help Daniel.

Avery: He took the job.

Phyllis: Yeah.

Avery: That's great.

Phyllis: Yeah, he took the job. It is great. But, um, I-I need some legal assistance, um, with the strategy in dealing with the daughter-in-law from hell.

Avery: Oh, my God. Yes, I can help you with that.

Phyllis: Good.

Avery: And I think whatever we devise, we should make sure it doesn't bring you into any more contact with Ricky.

Phyllis: You know, that's...

Avery: Good.

Phyllis: The second time you brought that up today.

Avery: Well, yeah, because in my line of work, you run into a lot of sociopaths, and they can be very charming, and I think the more charming, the more dangerous.

Phyllis: Is this what you were talking to Paul about? Avery, do you have reason to think that Ricky is dangerous?

Avery: You know, Paul doesn't know what to think right now. So let's just err on the side of caution.

Phyllis: That's fine by me. I want zero contact with Ricky anyway.

Ricky: "Phyllis continues to insist the marriage will survive. Her total conviction that Danny loves her in spite of all evidence of the contrary borders on... delusional, and yet there is something very appealing about her childlike faith."

Ricky: (Chuckles)

[Scene from the past]

Phyllis: Thank you so much for helping me get my life together. You're the most wonderful man. (Chuckles) (Sighs)

Ricky: "I explained to her that her feelings of attraction were simply erotic transference and strongly recommend that she switches to another therapist." Oh, Doc. (Clicks tongue) You were so far in over your head.

[Scene from the past]

Phyllis: Look, I-I'll say it again-- that--that--that kiss, it was totally spontaneous, just a-an--an expression of my appreciation. That's it. Nothing more. There's no reason to turn this case over to another counselor. Dr. Reid, there's no reason at all.

Dr. Reid: How did I let this happen? How did I get so involved?

Phyllis: N-no! None of that. Listen to me. What happened here tonight was beautiful. I needed you so desperately.

Dr. Reid: Me or...

Phyllis: I have felt so unloved these past few months, so unwanted. I look at this as a therapeutic breakthrough. You will come back to my place, won't you, Tim?

Dr. Reid: I have paperwork I need to finish.

Phyllis: Surely that can wait till tomorrow.

Dr. Reid: I'm sorry, Phyllis, but I just can't do it. If I turn and walk out this door, as difficult as that will be, we'll both come to our senses and settle down.

Phyllis: Tim, it's our senses that are making us do this. So stop thinking so much and feel. Feel, Tim. Feel.

(Knock on door)

Billy: Obviously, on paper, I don't look like anyone any guy would pick for his daughter. I mean... (Clears throat) There were the marriages and that gambling thing.

Victor: And two babies out of wedlock and...

Billy: Yeah.

Victor: Mm-hmm.

Billy: That happened. All that happened.

Victor: Mm-hmm.

Billy: But that doesn't cancel out the fact that I... (Chuckles) Have changed. I've grown up. I am responsible businessman, husband, father.

Victor: Uh-huh. Billy.

Billy: If you only see that, then...

Victor: Billy, you have told me before that you have changed. You haven't changed one iota, okay? You're still the same Billy Abbott you always were. You're not gonna change my opinion of yourself, so save your breath.

Billy: Where's that bartender?

Victor: Huh? I wonder... as unreliable as you are.

Sharon: You must see how ironic this is, don't you? You're furious with your father for doubting your relationship and your judgment, and yet you want to turn around and do the same thing to him.

Victoria: (Sighs) There is no comparison.

Sharon: Really? Why not?

Victoria: Billy and I are building a life together. You're just the flavor of the week.

Sharon: Well, I don't know that your marriage is really all that solid. I mean, Billy lied to you, left you, cheated on you. Who's to say he's not gonna do that again?

Victoria: You don't know Billy.

Sharon: No, I do. I actually know Billy better than you think. We, uh, we slept together. It was the night before Chloe's wedding to him, in fact, and I was the matron of honor. So if that's who you're trying to build a life with, well... good luck with that.

Michael: I have seen enough movies to know that the job of a best buddy at times like this is to tell the heroine to drop everything in the name of love and to go rushing off to the airport to toss herself into her lover's arms.

Chris: But that's okay, because she misses the flight. But he never got on board.

Michael: Hmm.

Chris: Proves they were meant to be.

Michael: (Chuckles) Roll credits.

Chris: Mm. Well, the credits rolled for Danny and me a long time ago.

Michael: Yeah, that's a damn shame.

Chris: And I love my life. I've worked hard to get to this point. And the work I do matters.

Michael: Some people have all that and someone to come home to.

Chris: I hope those people realize how blessed they are. (Sighs) Anyway, here is to putting the past in the past, where it belongs.

(Glasses clink)

Michael: Cheers.

Ricky: It's not my birthday. We've already had that get-together.

Paul: (Sighs)

Ricky: So what brings you by?

Paul: Well, I just hear that you moved in here, so I thought I'd check up and see how you're doing.

Ricky: Well, given the way that we left things on my birthday, I find it a little difficult to accept that you just popped in to say "Hi."

Paul: Well, still a cop at heart, I guess. I always want to make sure that the people I care about are safe.

Ricky: I appreciate that. But it's not exactly the kind of thing that you can... guarantee, you know? I mean, at a certain point, you have to accept that some things are just beyond our control.

Paul: I suppose.

Ricky: But, hey, so far, so good. And it's--it's nice to know that you still care.

Paul: (Sighs)

Ricky: Thank you for the visit.

Sharon: You know, the service is just a little slow, and Victoria is here-- she's making it uncomfortable.

Victor: I know. So why don't we go back to the ranch? I'll call the chef. He'll have dinner ready before we get there.

Sharon: We don't-- we don't have to do that. I'll just--I'll--I'll make something, unless you're too hungry to wait.

Victor: That's a wonderful idea. That's the best idea for the whole evening. There we go.

Billy: Guess it was too much for him, breathing the same air as me. Ha ha.

Victoria: You slept with Sharon?

Billy: Okay, uh, there has to be some sort of statute of limitations of premarital idiocy, right? I mean, that thing with Sharon, that was way before us-- way, way before us.

Victoria: It was during you and Chloe-- the night before your wedding. Sharon was your matron of honor. (Sighs)

Billy: That woman just unburdened her entire soul, didn't she? Okay, look, you... (Sighs) Know how I felt about marrying Chloe. And... (scoffs) It turns out, I was right. That marriage was doomed from the start. And--and--and... (Sighs) I acted inappropriately.

Victoria: Inappropriate? That's your word for it?

Billy: You're not expecting me to apologize for everything I did before it even occurred to me that I may be with you, are you? Because if you are, Sweetheart, Honey, it's gonna take till next spring.

Victoria: I know. I know there have been other women, okay? And I assume that most of them have been tacky, and I've made peace with that. But Sharon?

Billy: Hell of a date night, right? Yeah.

Sharon: (Sighs) Usually, I can deal with the general level of disapproval, but tonight, I just--I reached my limit. I'm sorry.

Victor: I gotta tell you, I cannot blame you.

Sharon: (Sighs)

Victor: Victoria's behavior was absolutely inexcusable. And then that obnoxious husband of hers...

Sharon: Well, now we can just relax and forget about them. Uh, what would you like for dinner?

Victor: (Sighs) Anything you have. Can I help you?

Sharon: No. I-I just--I wanted this to be my gift to you, because you already do so much for me.

Victor: You don't understand that I love doing things for you. I love the look of surprise on your face whenever you receive something.

Sharon: Well, you don't get to have all the fun.

Victor: Well, this is not a relationship where we keep tabs on what we have given to each other, not withstanding what Victoria said to you. That is what this is about, isn't it?

Sharon: But still, I don't think it's a good idea for us to get into bad habits, where one person's always taking care of the other. There should be some reciprocity.

Victor: Well, I can't argue with that.

Sharon: Good, because if you did, that wouldn't even work. I'm gonna go see what's in the fridge.

Victor: You bet. Well, that's quite nice of you. Thank you.

Sharon: (Chuckles)

Ricky: "According to Phyllis, she was devastated when the judge awarded custody to Danny. She continually referred to being alone and having no one. All of Phyllis' delusions have been stripped from her now and so has her child."

Ricky: You would have done the exact same thing to Daisy if you had the chance.

(Cell phone rings)

Ricky: Mm. (Sighs)

(Ring)

Ricky: Hello?

Tim: Mr. Williams, this is Tim Reid.

Ricky: Oh, yes, Dr. Reid, it's so nice to hear from you. Is there anything else you wanted to tell me?

Tim: I know you took the notes from Phyllis' file.

Victoria: Okay, so I'm not gonna tell you that it doesn't bother me, because it does. I'm not gonna hold it over your head, all right, this thing with you and Sharon.

Billy: Honey... (Sighs) It was over before it even started, and it was never even about her. I was just a jerk, and I was punishing Chloe for trapping me, and I was immature, but I'm not that person anymore. Do you want to call off the arcade?

Victoria: No.

Billy: Are you sure?

Victoria: Yes. Because this gives me even more reason to kick your butt now.

Billy: Okay. I am going to find the waiter and pay our bill so we can get out of here, okay? (Inhales sharply)

Victoria: Hi, Dad. It's me. No, no, I'm calling, because there's something you should know about your new girlfriend. You may not be aware of this, but she was Chloe's matron of honor when Chloe married Billy.

Victor: Well, why should I care about that?

Victoria: I just think it says a lot about her character that she would do that, even though she'd spent the night before the wedding in bed with the groom.

Victor: She slept with Billy Abbott-- is that what you're saying?

Victoria: She told me herself tonight, then Billy confirmed it.

Victor: (Sighs)

Victor: I, uh, there's, uh, I-I gotta discuss that with you later, okay? Bye.

Sharon: I'm making fajitas if that works for you.

Victor: Yeah, listen, something came up that I have to deal with, okay?

Sharon: Okay. Well, um... dinner can wait.

Victor: Unh-unh, I don't want you to do that.

Sharon: All right, then we'll have dinner some other time?

Victor: Uh, kindly show yourself out, okay?

Chris: I'm sorry. I didn't mean to wallow.

Michael: Phyllis put you through a lot in those days, not that I was around for most of it, but I have picked up a few choice bits and pieces.

Chris: Well, I can't blame her for all of it. (Sighs) Part of the reason it didn't work out with Danny and me is because I also loved Paul. I wanted to marry him. (Sighs) You might not have guessed from the number of times we had to postpone the wedding.

Ricky: So you're missing a file?

Tim: Don't panic. I'm not angry. I just thought you should know that certain things never made it into the file.

Ricky: (Sighs)

Avery: So did you see Danny?

Phyllis: Um, yeah. (Laughs) Are you star struck?

Avery: What? My big sis was married to a rock star, and I missed the whole thing? Come on.

Phyllis: (Sighs) Consider yourself lucky. I was... I was a little crazy when I was with him. Yeah. I did some things that... I regret.

Avery: Like what?

[Phyllis remembering]

Phyllis: (Sighs) Damn her! She's the only thing standing in the way of Danny and me. Our marriage will never have a chance unless... (Gasps) I'm not going to lose him. I won't. It's not going to happen.

Tim: If you want to expose Phyllis, look into what she was doing around Christmas of 1994.

Michael: Which one of the weddings? Was it the first one you called off because of the accident?

Chris: I don't know if you can really call it an accident.

[Chris remembering]

(Tires screeching)

Paul: Aah!

Chris: Ooh!

Michael: They never found out who the driver was, did they?

Ricky: I always knew that someone like you would have some dirty little secrets, Phyllis. Mmm. (Sighs) Not that they'll be secret for much longer.

Phyllis: I'd rather not talk about it. That was a very... very dark time in my life. I would rather let it stay buried.

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

Ricky: You gonna lock me in a cage?

Daisy: (Whispering) You don't know what I'm capable of.

Cane: You did this for me?

Genevieve: You're my son.

Jack: Genevieve will surely be stripped of Beauty of Nature. Then it will be mine.

Victor: Good luck to you.
