Billy: How you doin'?

Man: Hey.

(Cell phone rings)

Billy: (Clears throat)

Billy: What took you so long?

Victoria: I don't know what you're talking about.

Billy: Calling to check up on me.

Victoria: I wasn't!

Billy: People could get suspicious.

Victoria: Of a wife calling her husband at work? How normal is that?

Billy: It gets a little abnormal when the wife is specifically calling for information to bring down the husband's boss.

Victoria: Well, the boss stole the company from the poor wife's family.

Billy: O-okay, Vick, I can't do this right now.

Victoria: Fine. (Sighs) Would you meet me for lunch at the club, if that's allowed?

Billy: I will see you later.

Victoria: Bye.

Victoria: Mom... (Sighs) Please don't try to talk me out of this.

Nikki: You're asking your husband to betray his brother.

Victoria: Billy knows how important this is to me.

Nikki: I just worry about the damage it could cause to your marriage.

Victoria: Well, you should worry about the damage that it will cause to Jack.

Nikki: Jack? He deserves everything he's got coming to him.

Jack: If those are the Swanson contracts, leave them there. I-I-I want the latest figures on Mitsukoshi sales, too-- exact numbers, not estimates.

Victor: First quarter, we did $1.3 million in sales, an 8% increase over the previous year. Second quarter, $1.55 million in sales. That's a 4% increase. Those are exact figures, not estimates, okay?

Heather: Hey.

Paul: Hi.

Heather: Any idea why Eden wanted to meet us here?

Chris: No, my message just said it was important.

Heather: Yeah, mine, too.

Paul: You know, maybe this is all getting too much for her.

Heather: Mnh-mnh. Doesn't sound like Eden. She's tougher than that.

Paul: I don't know.

Chris: Oh, here she is. Here she is. Hi.

Paul: Hi.

Eden: Oh, good, good. You're all here.

Heather: Uh, what did you want to talk to us about?

Eden: Well, I think I'm remembering more about the night Ricky died.

Jack: Well, you'd make a great assistant. Too bad I already have one.

Victor: This will never be your office, Jack.

Jack: Oh, this is my office. Certainly feels like my office, looks like my office. Maybe this'll help you. This is my new business card. Jack Abbott, C.E.O., Newman Enterprises. I've asked Connie to deliver your portrait and the rest of your bric-a-brac to your house. Oh, that's right, you don't have a house. Get the feeling lately somebody doesn't like you?

Victor: I'm so glad that my misfortune makes you happy. But I'm even more glad to know that your happiness will be short-lived.

(Knock on door)

Noah: Mom? You home? Mom?

(Keys jingling)

Noah: Mom? Mom, you home?

Adam: Sharon? Shar--

Noah: What are you doing here?

Adam: I'm looking for your mother.

Noah: Yeah, the way you called out her name kind of tipped me off. Why are you looking for her? I thought she cut you out of her life.

Adam: I came here to thank her. She sent flowers to Chelsea and me, offering condolences for the loss of our baby.

Noah: Yeah, I-I-I heard about that. I'm sorry.

Adam: Did you also hear that your sister caused it?

Noah: It was an accident.

Adam: And accidents happen, right?

Noah: Look, we--we all feel bad about what happened, but you can't--

Adam: Is your mother here?

Noah: (Sighs) No, but I'll be glad to leave her a message.

Adam: I'm sure you would. Kid, you should have never come back to Genoa City. Why did you come back?

Noah: Let me ask you a question-- why do you hate your own family so much?

Victoria: I thought that you seemed awfully quiet when I told you and Dad how I planned to get Newman Enterprises back.

Nikki: Honey, have you thought about what this could do to your marriage?

Victoria: Mostly, I thought about what Nick said last night. I still can't believe he's just gonna walk away.

Nikki: Well, his priorities have shifted, and for good reason. I mean, Sharon has never really been a very reliable parent, but lately--

Victoria: Yeah, I know. I understand he wants to focus on his family, which leaves getting Dad's company back to me.

Nikki: Just make sure you don't sacrifice your family in the process.

Victoria: Billy and I are in a good place.

Nikki: Honey, happiness is so fragile, it can slip through your fingers very easily.

Victoria: I'm not gonna let that happen.

Nikki: I know what Newman Enterprises means to you, to all of us, but I also know what it's cost us.

Jack: You think my happiness won't last long. Does that mean you're coming after me? By all means, knock yourself out. I enjoy the challenge.

Victor: You misunderstand me, Jack. I don't intend to come after you, nor after the business. You can have the whole damn thing. I just came to tell you that it won't make you happy.

Jack: (Laughs) Are you all right? This may be one of the aftereffects of your nasty head injuries?

Victor: After the setbacks I've suffered recently, I've come to realize that none of us control a damn thing.

Jack: Well, I understand how you'd feel that way. You just lost everything.

Victor: I have far more than you will ever have.

Eden: Uh, I was chasing Ricky down an alley, uh, and then he stopped and turned back. He had a knife in his hand, and it--it seemed so familiar. It was...

Paul: Well, I know. Maybe that's because, um... (Sighs) I told you that Ricky was threatening you with a knife the night he died.

Eden: Or because I'm actually remembering it. I mean, it sure felt real.

Chris: But you said it was a dream, not an actual memory.

Eden: Well, I mean, everything's all messed up in my head, so...

Heather: Look, we understand.

Eden: It's just--I feel like what happened in Ricky’s suite is finally starting to come back to me.

Heather: Look, unfortunately, even if it does, it probably won't help at this point.

Chris: Yeah, it wouldn't take much for the prosecution to convince the jury that it could be the hypnotherapist or one of us who planted those memories in your mind.

Heather: Yeah. I'm sorry.

Paul: (Sighs)

Eden: (Chuckles) (Sighs) I want to help you so badly, Paul. I mean, you saved my life. I-I can't let you go to prison.

Heather: Eden, you've already given us information that is going to help.

(Door opens)

Eden: And what if it's not enough?

Paul: You know what? I got three of the best attorneys in the country that are on my side, and, uh, I'm not a half-bad P.I., either.

Heather: Excuse me for a second.

Heather: I'm sorry, there a problem?

Michael: You're an assistant district attorney.

Heather: Mm-hmm.

Michael: Paul's about to go on trial for attempted murder.

Heather: Mm-hmm.

Michael: That is a bad idea.

Heather: You can't stop me from talking to my father.

Michael: (Sighs)

Chelsea: Excuse me, um, my parents and I are waiting for my husband, Adam Newman. We're supposed to meet him for lunch, so can you just send him our way when he gets here?

Chelsea: (Sighs)

Adam: What makes you think I hate my family?

Noah: Are you denying it?

Adam: I have no quarrel with you, Noah.

Noah: No, but you sure do with my dad, Aunt Vicki, Abby, Summer...

Adam: Don't forget your grandfather.

Noah: You know, you act like you're so proud about joining up with Jack against Grandpa. You know, my dad is right-- the only person that you give a damn about is you.

Adam: Yeah, your father isn't exactly the sharpest tool in the shed, and he's resented the fact that I came to town. He didn't want me in his life, sure as hell didn't want me in your grandfather's life, so, yeah, I wouldn't take everything that your father says about me as gospel.

Noah: Right, so he has no reason to hate you at all.

Adam: No, he has a perfectly justifiable reason-- jealousy.

Noah: Why would he ever be jealous of you?

Adam: Because I am more like your grandfather than he ever will be. Same goes for you, and I actually mean that as a very sincere compliment to the both of you.

Noah: You're a little twisted. Mm-hmm.

Adam: Yeah, see, you and your father could spend the entire rest of your natural lives trying to be like your great big hero Victor Newman, to no avail, but then being an arrogant, self-centered jerk like him just comes naturally to me.

Noah: Do not say that about my grandfather.

Adam: Ohh. You are your father's son, aren't you? Don't let 'em suck the life out of you, Kid. You're too smart and too talented to get pulled into this Newman family vortex. Get out while you can.

Jack: So you think you have more than I do.

Victor: You bet I do.

Jack: Well, let's take inventory, shall we? I have Jabot, I have Beauty of Nature, I have Newman, and I have a house. You--what do you have? You have--you have nothing. Oh, well, not nothing. You have a new-and-improved outlook on life.

Victor: You don't get it, do you, Jack?

Jack: Oh, I get it just fine. I am in your office, sitting at your desk.

Victor: Your ambition will destroy you.

Jack: Is that why you're here? You're concerned about me?

Victor: All the people you ever cared about have turned their back on you, haven't they?

Jack: If you're talking about Nikki...

Victor: Your sister Ashley, you drove her out of town. Abby... doesn't want a damn thing to do with you. It's your sweet sister Traci. She hasn't abandoned you yet, but she isn't making a beeline to Genoa City to celebrate your triumph now, is she? Then there's your son Kyle.

Jack: My son Kyle is living with me now.

Victor: It'll be a matter of time before he realizes who you really are, and then he will make a beeline to my house, knock at my door, looking for a role model to emulate. So what do you have, Jack? This desk? Got news for you-- too big for you.

Jack: This desk fits me just fine... just fine. If you're through with your little show, you can leave now.

Victor: You spent a lifetime trying to beat me, Jack Abbott. Look where it's got you.

Michael: An A.D.A. meeting with a defendant and one of his attorneys and a lead witness doesn't look good.

Heather: I haven't compromised your case.

Michael: You know I hate this.

Heather: Yeah, not half as much as I do.

Michael: I have some good news for your father. Let's go give it to him.

Eden: Oh, hey, Michael.

Michael: Hey, you.

Paul: Hey there. What can we do for you?

Michael: The judge finished reviewing Avery’s petition for a continuance.

Chris: And?

Michael: She granted the request.

Paul: Wow.

Heather: That's great news.

(Cell phone rings)

Chris: Okay, does Avery know? I want to call her.

Paul: Maybe that's her.

Chris: No, it's not. It’s... Danny.

Billy: I just saw "Captain Smiley" getting into the elevator. It's gotta be killing him that you're sitting behind this desk.

Jack: Do you have the data I asked for on our retail relationships?

Billy: Yes, I do, right here. Everything you ever wanted to know about Newman business with major department stores, sorted by region.

Jack: We'll get right to it.

Billy: You're welcome.

Jack: These are solid. These are shaky.

Billy: (Clears throat) Yeah? I take it that you're worried they're not gonna want to do business with Newman now that you're in charge. Am I right?

Jack: We simply have to convince them that it's in their best interests to maintain the status quo.

Billy: How you plannin' on doing that, Jack?

Jack: You're going to do that.

Adam: Sharon, it's me.

Sharon: Adam, come in. You should have never come back.

Adam: No, I made sure that Noah had left.

Sharon: I wish he hadn't seen you in the first place.

Adam: He bought my story about the flowers. Don't worry.

Sharon: Yeah, you covered really well, and then you filled his head with lies about his dad and his grandfather.

Adam: I kept talking because I wanted to make certain that you were here. Once I did, Sharon, let's be very clear about something-- what I said about my brother and my father-- everything that I said-- it's true.

Sharon: Noah loves them. Why would you turn him against his own family?

Adam: They'll destroy him, Sharon.

Sharon: No, they would never--

Adam: Never, as in not ever? Look what they've done to you.

Billy: Oh, wow, look at this. Honey, you didn't tell me that we were going to be joining your parents for lunch.

Victoria: Oh, well, actually, I was just waiting with them.

Billy: Okay. Victor, hello.

Victor: Hello, Billy.

Billy: How you doin'?

Nikki: Oh, he's much better, thank you, but the doctor says he should avoid stress.

Billy: Oh. Well, I could imagine it is a rough week. It surprises me that you were at Newman, though.

Victoria: (Gasps)

Billy: I-I saw you leaving. I didn't say anything because it's a little awkward that I'm working there and you're--you're not, so...

Victoria: Oh, you know, I was just telling my mom and dad how you accepted Jack's job offer...

Victor: I...

Victoria: So that you can help me get the company back.

Victor: Warned her not to trust you.

Billy: Color me shocked. I'm sure you did.

Victoria: Oh, look at, over there. Our table's ready. (Chuckles) See you.

Billy: Enjoy your lunch.

Victoria: (Exhales slowly) You just couldn't resist, could you? (Sighs)

Billy: What are you talking about? He started it. Thank you very much.

Victoria: First of all, are you 6 years old? And secondly, he didn't start it. You did.

Billy: Okay, fine. Maybe this time, it was me, but normally, he starts it.

Victoria: (Sighs) Never mind. Just--did you find anything out? I mean, did Jack say anything about any trouble with any of the department store chains?

Billy: Yeah, he, uh, designated a few stores that aren't exactly happy with the takeover.

Victoria: Which ones? Was Baker-Ryberg out of Miami one of 'em? Ohh, I knew it. I knew it, and Jack knows if a couple of those companies bail on him, then others will follow, and then his entire house of cards will fall.

Billy: Yes. He's hoping that I can persuade them with my charm.

Victoria: Yes, I'm sure you could do that, but not if I get there first.

Billy: I'm sorry?

Victoria: I have to-- I have to have a meeting in Miami with Baker-Ryberg.

Billy: Oh, come on.

Victoria: Listen, I'm sorry. I know you feel like you're betraying your brother.

Billy: Because I am betr-- 'cause I am.

Victoria: But you're securing your son's future.

Billy: You need to realize that Johnny is a Newman and an Abbott.

Victoria: I love when you say that, I really do.

Billy: Uh, d-don't do that. Don't change the subject. Don't be cute.

Victoria: No, I mean it. I mean it. Listen, that you consider him just as much my son as yours, that means a lot to me.

Billy: It is a shame that Chelsea and Adam lost their baby.

Victoria: What?

Billy: Yeah, a-after the accident they were in with Summer.

Victoria: Oh, no. She must be going crazy.

Billy: I don't know.

Victoria: Was there a more serious problem with the pregnancy? I mean, a lot of women can't carry a baby to full term, even if they've already had one. I mean, look at me.

Billy: Okay, Vick, just don't--don’t... (sighs)

Victoria: No, what if she can't have any more babies and she wants Johnny back?

Paul: Hey.

Michael: Hey.

Paul: Heather, uh, took off awfully fast. Did you have something to do with that?

Michael: Well, neither of us should be seen talking to you in public.

Paul: Oh. Then why did you come and tell me about the continuance in person?

Michael: I'm liking my job less and less these days.

Paul: You're thinking about quitting. Michael... you're one of the good guys. It's a tough job. I'm glad you're doing it.

Chris: And yet, you're still moving forward with Paul's trial.

Michael: Maybe if you spent more time looking for that new evidence that would clear Paul and less pursuing a civil suit against Phyllis, Paul's case would be dismissed, too.

Chris: Don't say it. I know you agree with him.

Nikki: So Pietro has a million ideas, but he wants to make sure that it's something that we want.

Victor: Uh-huh.

Nikki: He says... (Italian accent) "Decorating a home is like making love-- beautiful, but intensely personal." (Normal voice) So he is suggesting Tuscan, like this, but I don't know, I'm kind of thinking about contemporary. Nothing sterile, just maybe light and airy, you know?

Victor: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Nikki: And then I also told him that we'd have to have separate quarters for Segundo and the horses because, you know, Blue Smoke is gonna want his own room.

Victor: Oh, yeah, Blue Smoke for sure needs his own room.

Nikki: Uh-huh.

Victor: I'll be damned.

Nikki: You're not listening to a word I'm saying.

Victor: Um, I'm sorry, Sweetheart, I was just--

Nikki: I know what you're doing. You're looking at Billy and Victoria.

Victor: I can't help it. I mean, when I think that the fate of Newman Enterprises is put in the hands of that... fool...

Nikki: You're upset that Nicholas doesn't want to fight Jack.

Victor: A little disappointed, yeah. I told him, though, he can do as he chooses.

Nikki: I know, and you're saying the right things, you're doing the right things...

Victor: But you question my sincerity?

Nikki: I hope this new you is for real, because you need a much more relaxed life right now, but I know you, Victor. You want your son to fight for Newman.

Victoria: It could happen. It could. Even if Chelsea doesn't come up with the idea on her own, Adam could. He hates me. It would be a win-win for him. He can give his wife the baby she can't have and--and take mine.

Billy: Okay, stop. Just stop. All the T's are crossed, all the I's are dotted on Johnny’s adoption papers. He's ours. Nobody's taking him away from us.

Victoria: You're right. Okay, you're probably right. I'm overreacting. I'm sorry.

Billy: It's okay. Look, I better get back to work. I don't want to get Jack suspicious.

Victoria: All right, yeah. Go. I'm fine.

Billy: Everything is gonna be okay, mm-hmm?

Victoria: I love you.

Billy: Okay, good-bye.

Victoria: Good-bye.

Billy: (Sighs)

Victoria: (Sighs)

Adam: Noah's better off without Nicholas and my father in his life. You won't admit it, but you know it's true.

Sharon: Um, I'm not gonna argue with you about this. I can’t.

Adam: I didn't come here to upset you.

Sharon: Why did you come?

Adam: I found someplace for you to go, a place where no one will bother you.

Sharon: Where?

Adam: It's on my property. It's a cottage. It's quiet, it's private, secluded. It's pretty much cut off from the rest of the world.

Sharon: (Shudders) That's-- it sounds like a prison!

Adam: No, it's to keep you safe, it's not to lock you up. This is ultimately your call, Sharon.

Sharon: I'm not sure. I don't-- I don't know what to do.

Adam: Do you trust me, Sharon?

Chelsea: Adam? Babe, you home? Adam.

(Knock on door)

Chelsea: (Sighs)

(Knock on door)

Chelsea: Victoria.

Victoria: May I come in? Billy told me about the accident, and I just really wanted to tell you how sorry I-- how sorry I am.

Chelsea: Thank you.

Victoria: I understand what you're going through, losing a baby. I-I know how that feels.

Chelsea: I feel like my hormones are going crazy. One second, I'm fine, and then the next, I'm in tears.

Victoria: Yeah, I remember.

Chelsea: My first pregnancy was so easy. I had no scares, no complications. I just assumed it would be the same this time.

Victoria: Do they know what caused it? The miscarriage?

Chelsea: No, the doctor said there's no way to-- there's no way to know for sure.

Victoria: Yeah, that's what they told me. They told me that, and I thought that everything was gonna be okay, and then I would get pregnant again and have another baby, but... (Clicks lips) Well, that didn't happen. It's different for every woman, of course, you know. So did the doctors say anything about that?

Chelsea: About what?

Victoria: Well, will you be able to have another baby?

Chelsea: The doctor actually said that when I'm ready, we can try again.

Victoria: That's great. Wow, that's--that's good news. Um, I mean, because I know how much you and Adam want to have a child together.

Chelsea: You think I'm gonna try to get John back.

Victoria: No!

Chelsea: Victoria... you don't have to worry. You're not gonna lose your son. I know... (Sniffles) What that loss feels like, and I wouldn't put you through it.

Adam: There's a... fridge, I stocked it, and a nice view of the lake. Uh-huh, and there's, uh, there's a bunch of books there, plenty of 'em. I'm not sure what they are, but I'm sure you could find something interesting.

Sharon: (Sighs) I just want to curl up on this and shut the world out.

Adam: Do it. Rest. Don't think about anything for a little while, at least. You're safe here.

Sharon: Does anyone else know I'm here?

Adam: Just me. I have to go. I, uh, I'll check in on you later. I--

Sharon: Okay, Adam?

Adam: (Exhales slowly)

Sharon: I set the fire, didn't I? At the ranch?

Adam: It doesn't matter.

Sharon: (Voice breaking) Yes, it does! Please. I have to know.

Adam: Sharon, you were drinking. You were drunk. You didn't know what you were doing.

Sharon: Oh, my God. I could have killed someone!

Adam: You didn’t.

Sharon: What if they find out that it's me?

Adam: They won’t.

Sharon: (Exhales sharply) Oh, my God.

Adam: Don't worry, okay?

Sharon: I'm scared.

Adam: Hey, don't be. I'm gonna make sure that nobody suspects you.

Jack: Billy. There you are. How was lunch?

Billy: It was good, yeah. The shrimp was good. Pasta was a little overdone. There was-- that's not what you're asking me, is it?

Jack: What are you talking about?

Billy: (Chuckles) I'm-- I--nothing. Never mind. I-I don't know.

Jack: You have those documents I gave you earlier, about maintaining ties with our retail chains?

Billy: Yeah, I've got 'em. They're on my desk. Did you want 'em right now, or--

Jack: Well, not right now. I'd probably want to go over 'em later.

Billy: Okay, yeah, sure.

Jack: Okay. Let's get back to work.

Billy: Okay.

Victor: Mm-hmm.

Nikki: These are my final choices. This one, and--unless there's something else that you prefer. Now, Victor, you're still distracted. Victoria and Billy are gone, so what is it?

Victor: Well... there's just a deal that I have to close, you know?

Nikki: Oh, my God. I knew it. I knew it. You still have one foot in the corporate world. You want everybody to think that you've walked away. Here you are, trying to plan your next move.

Victor: Oh, no, no, this is more important than business.

Nikki: Victor, please. After all these years, you cannot fool me.

Victor: Oh, Sweetheart, this is really an important deal that has nothing to do with business.

Nikki: Is that so?

Victor: Uh-huh.

Nikki: What could possibly be more important to you than business?

Victor: You.

Chris: So I told Danny that I was going to California to find that video of Ricky killing Rachel.

Paul: Well, I'm sure he'd rather you meet him somewhere.

Chris: He told me I should do whatever I have to do to clear your name.

Paul: That's really nice. (Groans) You know, if I could leave the state, I'd go to California myself.

Chris: And deprive me of coming to your rescue?

Paul: (Chuckles)

Chris: It's my turn. After all the times you've saved me, I... I might not be here if it weren't for you.

Paul: I'm glad you are.

(Cell phone rings)

Adam: Yeah?

Chelsea: Adam, finally. I've been trying to reach you. Did you get my messages?

Adam: I haven't checked my phone yet.

Chelsea: I waited for you forever at the club.

Adam: I am so sorry. How was lunch with Jeffrey and Anita?

Chelsea: I survived... (Chuckles) But I was worried about you. When you didn't show up, I--

Adam: Yeah, I know, I should have called you. I-- look, another crisis came up. It's been pretty crazy. I had to reschedule with Jack, but I'm headed over to Newman right now.

Chelsea: Is there anything I can do?

Adam: (Sighs) No, everything's under control. I will, um, I'll be home as soon as I can.

Chelsea: You won't be too late, will you?

Adam: I don't know... but I will make this up to you.

Chelsea: Nothing to make up. I love you.

Adam: And I love you, too.

Adam: (Sighs)

Chelsea: Hurry home. (Sighs)

Nikki: Ohh, isn't it beautiful?

Victoria: What? Yes! Oh, my--it's gorgeous.

Nikki: (Laughs)

Victoria: Oh, Mom...

Nikki: (Sniffles) Ohh.

Victoria: But you-- you can't have the wedding yet.

Nikki: Oh. Well, Honey, I thought you would be anxious for us to get married.

Victoria: No, I am. I am, but, um, I'm going out of town for a little while.

Nikki: Oh.

Victor: You didn't say anything about going anywhere.

Victoria: Well, it-- it just sort of came up, and I'm gonna need to leave right away.

Victor: But why are you in such a rush?

Victoria: Dad, I think I might have come up with a way to force Jack out of Newman, but time is critical.

Victor: I knew I could count on you.

Victoria: We have to give Billy a little credit, too, okay? He's the one that made this possible.

Jack: Don't forget to set up that meeting with Phil Anderson at Largent, okay?

Billy: You know what, Jack? I heard you the first two times today.

Jack: There a problem?

Billy: No, there's not. I'm sorry, I'm just a little on edge at the moment.

Jack: About anything in particular?

Billy: Yeah, Victoria's taking a trip. I always get a little freaked out when she's in the air, you know?

Jack: Where's Victoria going?

Billy: She's going to Italy. Some art exhibit, neoclassical... I don't know what. I couldn't tell you.

Jack: Well, she's gonna have a lot more time on her hands these days. I hope she has a good trip.

Billy: I'm sure she will. Um, I'll see if I can't get a hold of Anderson for you.

Jack: Let me know when you've got something set up.

Billy: You got it. (Clears throat)

Jack: (Exhales slowly)

(Glass shatters)

Jack: Ohh! (Breathing heavily)

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

Phyllis: Jack offered me a job. I could work on the inside so you can get Newman back.

John: It's payback time, Jack. You've crossed the line, and your body knows it.

Avery: I understand not wanting to be around your family.

Summer: I want to sue them.
