Brad can't believe that Phyllis is trying to threaten him. Her eyes sparkle as she talks about Carlos who remembers Brad and Sharon in their robes in her room. Brad still tries to deny it, but then Phyllis says that Carlos has no need to lie about a thing like this, and she knows that it is true since she heard he and Sharon talking about this very subject at the Athletic Club the night before. "What do you want?" Brad asks her. Victoria is frazzled. She is upset that the family is fighting over this Clear Springs deal. Nikki sees that she is being very sensitive to the issue and that is when Victoria reveals that she is pregnant. Victor talks to one of the board members. Victor and Nick pitch a proposal to Bob, asking him to leave his board seat as they desperately need it. Victor offers the man some fetching stock options. Bob is interested now in giving up his seat but he needs to talk to his wife first. JT comes to see Colleen and is surprised to hear that she is dating some new guy that night. JT figures that she and Adrian must have broken up, but she says that she isn't sure. Adrian arrives and smiles when he realizes that JT is there as well. JT laughs. "This is a hell of a party, isn't it?" Jill is waiting for the test results to tell her if Cane is her son or not. She waits by the phone as she remembers how she offended the poor boy when she asked him to take the tests. Kay can't stand Jill being jittery. The phone rings. Jill stalls but eventually answers. It is the lab. When she hangs up, Kay is impatient and wants to know what the lab said. "The DNA tests are in. They are sending them over by messenger." Amber moves her things into Cane's apartment and he oogles her skimpy clothes. They are getting ready for the visit to Lauren's place to talk about the party hat she is throwing for the lucky newlyweds. Cane wants to get romantic and can't get to the phone to answer it in time. The person hangs up when he finally gets to it. No one leaves a message and so it is back to sex and lovemaking with Amber. Jill hung up because she has been rethinking how the tests should be revealed. She wants time to absorb whatever the results are. Kay finds her ridiculous. "Now you either call him right now on that phone or I will!" Jill and Amber are at Lauren's place with she and Gloria and they let it slip that Cane is going to find out soon if he has found his birthmother or not. They don't say that the candidate for the position is Jill. The phone rings and Jill is on the phone, summoning the kids to see the results with she and Katherine.
Brad: Are you threatening me? Phyllis: Oh, no. That's such an ugly word. I don't wanna look at it like that. Think of this as a business deal. Brad: You can't be serious. Brad: You weren't in New York. You don't know what happened. Phyllis: No, I wasn't, but Carlos was. Brad: Carlos. You're going to take the word of a room service waiter over mine? Phyllis: I happen to overhear you and Sharon talking about it at the club. And that room service waiter has no reason to lie, but you do. I wonder how Victoria will react when I tell her that you two were together in your robes. Brad: Why are you doing this? Phyllis: I have a lot of reasons for wanting to do this, Brad. But I need your support to lend money to NVP for Clear Springs. Brad: Victoria can't find out about any of this. Phyllis: Vote my way and she won't. [SCENE_BREAK] Rocky: Aw, she's really cute, man. Yeah, works here part-time. You never seen her? Anyway, we're going out on a date. J.T.: That's interesting. Last I heard, she had a boyfriend. Rocky: Not likely. I mean, uh... the way she was flirting. I don't think so. You guys want another round? J.T.: Don't mind if I do. [SCENE_BREAK] Korbel: Korbel here. Colleen: Hey, it's me. Where are you? Korbel: Athletic Club. Why? Colleen: Well, because my Uncle Jack's out of town. Korbel: You sure no one's gonna be there? Colleen: It's the housekeeper's day off, so I'm sure that we can find, you know, a place to work in private. Korbel: Work? Well, I wasn't aware that we had a project. Colleen: I'm sure we can think of something. Korbel: Said Eve to Adam as she dangled the apple. Colleen: So I'll see you soon? Korbel: On my way. [SCENE_BREAK] Cane: Are you sure this is the last of it? Amber: Yeah, except for a few odds and ends. Cane: You could have a fleet of moving vans parked outside. Amber: You marry someone, they come with baggage. What, no snappy comeback? Cane: Yeah, I guess I'm a little preoccupied. Waiting drives me bonkers. Amber: DNA results day. Cane: Yeah, I thought they'd be in by now. Amber: But Jill said she'd call you as soon as she got 'em, right? Cane: Yeah, she wants me to be there when she opens them. Amber: Look, I really believe you're a Chancellor, but, if it turns out I'm wrong, and Jill is not your birth mother, then we are not gonna stop searching until we find her. [SCENE_BREAK] Kay: Staring at the phone is not going to make it ring. Jill: Wanna bet? Hello? Oh, it's you. Yes, Susan, I am aware of the meeting. I have it on my schedule. I will be there. Kay: Office? Jill: I can't imagine why we haven't heard by now. Kay: Well, you don't want them to rush the test, do you? Come on! Now just relax, Jill, please. Jill: Are you insane? Do you know all the years I'm gonna have to make up for? Katherine, it's gonna change my life. Kay: The press is going to be all over this story. Jill: I hope I get some alone time with Cane before that happens. Kay: And if he is a Chancellor, I have to put him into the business. Jill: If that's what he wants. Kay: Well, I doubt if he wants to be a bartender forever. But he will have to work his way up. Jill: This could be it. Hello? Jill: Yes, this is she. I don't-- no, I didn't know that. Excuse me, excuse me-- I really can't talk right now. Email me all the details and then I'll get back to you soon as I can? Great, thank you so much. Kay: Now what? Jill: The producers of "Extreme Catwalk." That's the last thing I wanna deal with right now. [SCENE_BREAK] Gloria: Yes, I've been expecting your call. Please put her on. Ms. Saperstein from "Extreme Catwalk"-- her assistant gave me the details. Lauren: Are you kidding? That's so great. Gloria: Yes, yes, yes, I'm right here. Uh-huh. First class airfare, of course, limo to the Four Seasons Hotel, a personal assistant, per diem... well, it all sounds fabulous! I can't wait! Uh-huh. Great. [SCENE_BREAK] Victoria: I just don't understand-- I don't understand why Dad would blow me off like that. I was so excited about my proposal. It was the perfect compromise for Clear Springs. Perfect. Nikki: Well, the numbers are still on our side when we go before the board. Victoria: I hate that the four of us are pitted against each other like this. Isn't the idea of a family business to work together? Nikki: In a perfect world. Sometimes family members disagree, especially when they're as stubborn as we are. Victoria: Hmm. Why did it have to be now, Mom? Nikki: Now, later, what's the difference? Victoria: Mom... I'm pregnant. Nikki: You are?! Victoria: Mm-hmm. Nikki: Oh! Oh! That--that's wonderful! Victoria: Thank you. Nikki: Oh, Brad must be so happy! Victoria: Yeah, he is. He's happy. Nikki: Oh, my gosh! Victoria: You know, we wanted to tell you sooner, but, uh, Dad and I had this argument. And then, it just didn't really seem like the right time, you know? Nikki: Oh, no, no, no, it's never a bad time for news like this! Tell him. Tell him. He'll be so thrilled. I know he will be. Victoria: Yeah? Nikki: Yeah. Victoria: Okay. [SCENE_BREAK] Victor: Yeah? Send him in. Nick: Mr. Wyatt? Victor: Uh-huh. If we get him to resign, then we'll have a well-deserved seat for Neil. Nick: Which changes the balance of votes. Victor: You got that right. Hello, Bob. Bob: Got your call, Victor. What's this all about? Victor: Thanks for coming by. You know my son Nicholas? Bob: Of course, how are you? Nick: Fine, Sir. Yourself? Bob: As well as can be expected for a man my age. Victor: That's why I asked you to come by, Bob. Bob: You found the fountain of youth? Victor: If I had, you'd be the first one to know. Please sit down. Now, Bob, I remember you telling me about that beautiful ranch you have out in Idaho. And how you'd like to spend some more time there with your grandchildren. Bob: Two great-grandchildren now. Victor: I'll be damned. Congratulations. All the more reason to go out there. Bob: Well, I have considered resigning from the board. Most likely, later this year. Maybe early '08. Victor: Now, Bob, what would you say if I were to encourage you to resign now? Bob: You want me out now? Victor: Let me explain the reason. There's some problems within the Board of Directors that we need to solve. And if you were to resign now, that would expedite a solution to those problems. Now you would retain your salary through '07. And course, you would retain your stock options. Nick: Sounds like a win-win situation for you, Mr. Wyatt. Bob: I'll tell you what, Fellas. Let me talk to my wife. I'll give it some serious thought. Victor: Well, I wish you would and thank you for coming by and my regards to Helen. Nick: Good seeing you, Sir. Nick: What if he won't leave? We need his seat. Victor: Trust me, he'll leave. [SCENE_BREAK] Colleen: Hi. J.T.: Hey. I came by to see how you're feeling. Colleen: Oh, you didn't have to do that. J.T.: I can't help it if I'm a nice guy. What, is something wrong? Colleen: Um, I was just really tired. I was gonna take a nap. J.T.: Well, I won't stay that long. Don't worry about it. I thought you said you were gonna take a nap. Colleen: Oh, the candles? J.T.: Yeah. Colleen: Well, they're for aromatherapy, um, to help me relax and get better. J.T.: Well, they must be working. Colleen: Why do you say that? J.T.: Well, I talked to the bartended down at the club and he said you guys were going on a date. Colleen: He did, did he? J.T.: Yeah. Can't keep a secret around this town. Colleen: No. J.T.: So, you into him? Colleen: Yeah, he's cool. We'll probably go see a movie or something. J.T.: Hmm. So I guess this means you and Korbel broke up? Colleen: We weren't ever really a couple. And with what happened, you know, with the dean and all of that... J.T.: Yeah, yeah. Still, I know you cared for him. It must be rough. Colleen: Yeah, well-- why are we talking about this? J.T.: I-I just... I thought you might be upset Colleen: Oh. So you came here to gloat? J.T.: No. No. I came here because I thought you might need a friend. J.T: You want me to get that? Colleen: No, it's okay. I'll get it. Korbel: Hey there. Colleen: Hi. Wow, J.T. just got here and--and now you. Hmm. Korbel: Must be tough, being so popular. J.T.: Hello, Professor. Korbel: Hello, J.T. J.T.: Well, this is just a hell of a party, isn't it? [SCENE_BREAK] Brad: All right, I know you're not a big milk fan. Victoria: Uh, I know-- it does the body good. Brad: Yes, it does, especially a pregnant one. Here you go. Victoria: Thanks. Brad: Drink up. Victoria: Mmm. Mom thinks we should tell my father. Brad: Ah. What do you think? Victoria: I don't know. I'm kinda still angry with him, you know? But he should probably hear it from us, I think. Phyllis: Hey, guys! Guess what? I just spoke to Jack. Victoria: I thought he was out of town on business? Phyllis: Yeah, he is. You know, he's staying at this new hotel called the Ashford Baron. He couldn't stop raving about it. Um, do either one of you know it? Brad: Yeah. As a matter of fact, I'm familiar with it. It's a terrific hotel. You ought to have Nick take you there sometime. [SCENE_BREAK] [Jill remembering] Jill: I really think maybe you should have a DNA test. No, I'm sorry, we--we should both have a DNA test. Cane: A DNA test? What for? Jill: Just to be careful. You know, just so... neither one of us gets disappointed. Cane: You mean, so, uh, you don't get take by some grifter. That's what you're trying to say, isn't it? You gotta find some way to protect all this stuff from the likes of me. Jill: Cane? Cane: Look, I didn't volunteer to be the baby that you threw away, okay? And if you remember correctly, you we the one who found me, if you think for one minute I'm here for your money, you're wrong. [SCENE_BREAK] Kay: Would you please stop that infernal racket? Jill: Oh, excuse me! Kay: Oh, come on. Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap. It's like a Chinese... water torture. Jill: So I'm nervous, sue me! Jill: This is probably just a telemarketer. Kay: Or Esther calling from her car. Jill: Yes, hello? Yes, this is she. Thank you for letting me know. Kay: Today, Jill. Today. Jill: The DNA tests are in. They're sending them over by messenger. [SCENE_BREAK] Amber: I promised Lauren I'd stop by her place later. Cane: Is this about the party she's throwing us? Amber: Yeah. It's so sweet of her to want to throw a party to celebrate our marriage. I mean, the least I could do is help with the details, right? You should come with. Cane: Oh, I'm really not that well versed in girl speak. Amber: Oh, we could really use some male input. Cane: I just wanna stay and watch the telly. And I have a cold. I'm sorry. Amber: Come on. It'll help take your mind off waiting for the phone to ring. Cane: Okay. Why not? Amber: Yay! I'm so excited about this bash. I can't wait for everyone in Genoa City to see what a great guy I married. Cane: Oh... does this come with a warning label? Amber: What are you expecting? Flannel pajamas? Cane: I like you just the way you are. Amber: Oh, thank you for noticing. Cane: Come here, you. Amber: Oh, no, no, no, no, Lauren's apartment first, more honeymoon later. Cane: Well, I need some incentive to wanna have to go with you. Amber: Oh, too bad you already agreed! Wait! Cane: You know you can't resist me. Amber: I know. I know you're right. I'm so weak. Cane: Oh, don't move! Don't move! Amber: Ow! Ow! Ow! My hair is stuck in your watch! Cane: Keep still. Amber: Ow! Shoot! Damn it! Ow! Cane: Bloody hell! Cane's voice: G'day, this is Cane, bartender and crocodile wrestler extraordinaire. Be a sport and leave a message. Cane: I'm sorry! Keep still! Amber: It's in my... ow! I think you ripped a chunk out. Cane: They hung up. Amber: Well, if it was Jill and if it was that important she would've left a message, right? Cane: Right. [SCENE_BREAK] Kay: Why did you hang up? You should've left a message. Jill: I couldn't do it. That envelop. Jill: I've been rethinking that. Kay: Well, whether or not he's here, it's not going to change the outcome. Jill: I know. It's just that whichever way it goes, I would like some time to digest it. Kay: Oh, nonsense, Jill! I mean... he has every right to know the same as we do. Now you either call him on that phone right now, or I will. ? ? Jill: Don't you dare touch that phone! Kay: Well, what are you going to do, Jill? Rip it from the wall? Jill: I mean it, Katherine! Kay: You promised Cane you would call him the moment we were going to get the test results. Now are you going to break your very first promise to your son? Jill: What if he's not my son? Kay: Well, we have to know. And so does he. Jill: Listen to me, Cane is a decent kid. He's hardworking and he's easygoing. Kay: He's like his father. Jill: Exactly my point! I admit that I have this connection to him. I admit that every time I look at him I see Phillip. But what if-- if that's just because it's the way I wanna see him? What if the test is negative? Kay: You cannot avoid the inevitable call him. Jill: You're pushing really hard for somebody who has so much to lose. Kay: You're talking about William Bardwell? Jill: Do you know how much trouble you could be in? Kay: I don't care. Jill: Well... you should care. 'Cause last time I checked, they don't allow maids in prison. [SCENE_BREAK] Lauren: Well, hey, you two! Amber: Hi! Lauren: I'm so glad you came over. Cane, thank goodness! We have a male opinion. Good! Amber: See, what did I tell you? Cane: Are you sure I won't be in the way? Lauren: Oh, no, no, not at all. Besides, you know, you're cute and it is your party, so your opinion does count. I'm gonna check on the baby. I'll be right back. Amber: Okay, cool. No calls? Cane: Nothing. Amber: Just try to think of something else. Cane: Like what? Amber: Like what I was wearing in bed last night. Cane: But you weren't wearing anything in bed last night. Amber: Really? Gloria: Lauren, I'm back! Lauren: Shh! The baby's sleeping. Gloria: Ooh! Oh, so these are the newlyweds, huh? Amber: Yeah. Lauren: Cane, this is my mother-in-law Gloria. Cane: Gin martini, two olives. Gloria: Oh, boy! Cane: Cane's a bartender at indigo. Gloria: I think I've been there ice and you know what I drink? Cane: How could I forget such a beautiful lady? Gloria: I like this guy. And you're from Australia, right? Cane: What gave me away? Gloria: Sense of humor and handsome? Cane: I like your friends. Amber: Aren't they great? I wouldn't want anyone else to help me plan this party. Lauren: Aw, you're so sweet. Here, sit down, sit down. Amber: Oh, cool. Lauren: All right, so do you have any thoughts? Gloria: Well, the drinks are taken care of. How about the food? Amber: Hmm... Lauren: Yeah, do you have ideas? A theme? Cane: I don't know, I'm kinda simple. I'm thinking beers, burgers, Barbie, I don't know. Gloria: That could be a cute idea, huh? Lauren: Please, let's not do that for this party, okay? Cane: Whatever makes you ladies happy, that's all I care about, so... Gloria: Oh... Lauren: Oh... are they always that charming in the outback? Amber: Hands off, Ladies, he's mine. [SCENE_BREAK] Colleen: So... Korbel: I brought those assignments, uh, the ones you asked for. Colleen: Great. Thank you. J.T.: Hey, shouldn't you get your strength back before you start tackling homework? Colleen: A girl can only read so much "Cosmo." J.T.: Well, still, I don't think you need to worry about school when you're still recuperating. Colleen: I don't wanna fall behind. Colleen: Oh, it's my mom. I have to take this. J.T.: Hey, take your time. Korbel: Go ahead. Colleen: All right, I'll be back. [SCENE_BREAK] Victor: Well, he was hesitant, of course. I mean, it's not easy to give up something you have enjoyed doing all your life. Yeah. We certainly know what he is feeling. Well, you're a trusted friend. I think with a little nudge we might convince him to retire now. What do you think? All right? Call me back. Bye. Nikki: Hi. Victor: Well, Son, it looks as if we are outnumbered. Your mother has brought reinforcements. Victoria: It's not what you think, Daddy. Uh... we're here about another project. Victor: Something I wasn't aware of? Nikki: Something Victoria hopes will bring the family closer. Victor: How long has this project been going on? Victoria: Well, uh, it's a little hard to pinpoint a date, but it takes about... nine months to complete. Victor: Are you telling me? Victoria: Yeah. Brad and I are gonna have a baby, Daddy. Brad: I hope you'll be as excited about this as we are, Victor. Nick: Yeah, isn't that neat? Victor: Did you know? Nikki: I just found out. Victor: Baby! My goodness! Another grandchild! Come here. Victoria: Yeah. Victor: Oh, my Sweetheart. Victoria: Oh, Dad. Victor: Congratulations. Victoria: Thank you. Victor: Congratulations to you, too, Bradley. Brad: Thank you, Victor. Victor: That makes me very happy. Victoria: Thank you, Dad. Victor: So... Victoria: Now I hope this means that we can stop all this fighting that we've been doing. Victor: Well, you know, fighting and business-- big difference. Family comes first--always. Victoria: Good. I'm glad you agree. Victor: Which is why I want you to stay away from this Clear Springs project. You don't need any stress now when you're pregnant. It's not good for you. Victoria: Out of the picture, right? You want me out to have one less person to oppose you. Victor: Sweetheart... Nikki: Oh, no, Darling, your father would never do that. Nick: Vick, that is not what he meant. Victor: Darling, I'm concerned about your well-being. Stress is very hard on a pregnant woman. Victoria: Clear Springs is not stressing me out. Victoria: You're stressing me out. It's you. Phyllis: Hi. Is it a bad time? Victor: Uh, no, please come. Have you heard the good news about Victoria? Phyllis: Yes, I have. Congratulations, Victoria. Victoria: Thanks, Phyllis. Phyllis: I bet you're thrilled, Brad. I hope you do everything to make your wife's pregnancy as easy as possible, just like Nick did for me. [SCENE_BREAK] Korbel: This is Korbel. Yes, Ms. Hathaway, it's right here in my attaché. And as promised, it will be on your desk by midnight. Oh, just another hour or so on my computer. Okay. Bye-bye. I'm working on a, uh, piece for art history journal. They go to press in the morning. J.T.: Oh, don't let me keep you. Korbel: Yeah. Uh, tell Colleen I had to go, would you? J.T.: No problem. Colleen: Taking off? Korbel: Yeah. Uh, deadline to meet. Colleen: Oh. Korbel: Would you call me if you have any questions? Colleen: I will. Thanks for stopping by. Korbel: Of course. It's a pleasure seeing you again, J.T. J.T.: Oh, the pleasure's all mine, Professor. [SCENE_BREAK] Gloria: We've gone over just about everything, so what are we missing? Lauren: Uh the date. Do you two have any social commitments coming up? Gloria: Well, I do have to be in Hollywood to judge "Extreme Catwalk," but they haven't confirmed that date yet. Lauren: Don't worry, Gloria, we won't have the party without you. Gloria: Thank you. Cane: All right, so what's "Extreme Catwalk"? Amber: Oh, it's a reality show, Seetie. It's about modeling and fashion, that sort of thing. Lauren: Gloria is gonna be a guest judge Gloria: Mm-hmm. Yeah, we even practiced right here, and your lovely wife gave me some ideas. Cane: So this is something I'm gonna see on the telly or... Gloria: I sure hope so. Amber: Why don't I design a dress for you? Lauren: Oh, all the designs that she did for Forresters Creations-- they were exquisite. Gloria: I would love to wear one of your creations. Thank you, Amber. Cane: I didn't know you were a gown designer. Amber: Yeah, one of many. It's really no big deal. Lauren: It is a big deal some very famous women wore her dresses. Cane: I didn't know I was married to a celebrity. Amber: Hardly. Cane: So why'd you leave LA? Amber: Um, you know, the people--they're-- they're so phony there. It's not like Genoa City. Cane: I wanna hear some stories. Amber: Maybe another time, Sweetie. Can we just, um, you know, uh, oh, just finish planning the party? Please? [SCENE_BREAK] Jill: There you go. Thank you. Now stop acting like a child, Mother! Kay: Well, it's probably because I'm trying to find out if you might have one. Now are we going to wait for Cane or not? Jill: I don't know. Kay: Well, the open the damned envelope and put us out of our misery. Jill: I am not ready. Kay: Well, I am. I am. Jill: Stop it! Kay: Give it to me! Jill: No! Kay: Jill, I want to know the test results right now! [SCENE_BREAK] J.T.: Hey, what's up with you and Korbel? Colleen: What do you mean? J.T.: Was he really just dropping off homework assignments? Colleen: Are you calling me a liar? J.T.: No, I just thought maybe he said that for my benefit. Colleen: He didn't. J.T.: Well, that's good. Colleen: Yeah. J.T.: I know you don't believe this right now, Colleen, but he wasn't the right guy for you. Colleen: Okay, you know what? Whatever, J.T. J.T.: Colleen, you want me to tell you why I think that? I'd be more than happy to keep going. Colleen: Don't. J.T.: You mad at me? Colleen: No. I'm not mad at you. I'm just tired. J.T.: We've been through a lot of messed up stuff the last couple of months, huh? Colleen: No kidding. J.T.: But when I was standing by your side at that hospital... I realized something. Colleen: What? J.T.: I'm not ready to let you go. I hate that you cheated on me with Korbel. I hate it. But I can't stop thinking about you and what we had. Colleen: J.T. J.T.: No, look, just let me finish, okay? This is hard. We've made some mistakes, Colleen, we have. Victoria. Korbel. Colleen: J.T., that's all in the past. Why are you bringing that up now? J.T.: Because it doesn't have to be in the past. Colleen: It doesn't have to be-- what does that mean? J.T.: What would you say to giving this another shot? Come on, Colleen, say something. Colleen: Um... wow. Um, you know, you're-- you're a great guy. J.T.: Yeah, and we're good together. Colleen: Yeah, but, I mean, you were my first love. Nothing will ever change that. You saved my life twice. I'm never gonna forget that. But... J.T.: But... but... Colleen: Look, it's just that we're just-- we're gonna hurt each other. And I mean, I think you know that. I know that. J.T.: Yeah. Yeah, you're right. It was a stupid idea. Colleen: No, J.T.-- J.T.: No. Colleen: No, wait. J.T.: What for? What do you want me to wait for? You're right. I'm gonna move on. Colleen: Did anybody see you come through the back door? Korbel: Of course not, Ms. Hathaway. Now, um... about my article... for the journal. I was considering exploring a statue. "Woman bitten by a snake." [SCENE_BREAK] Lauren: Okay... who else? Amber: Um... oh, Adrian Korbel! Cane: You're gonna invite your ex-boyfriend? Amber: What? It wasn't serious. He's a professor. I was just trying to improve my mind. Cane: I bet you were. Lauren: Do you have any relatives you wanna invite? Cane: Um... it's always just been me and my uncle, so... Amber: That is gonna change soon. Gloria: Oh, what's the big secret? Amber: Can I tell them? Cane: I don't think it's good idea. Amber: Cane thinks he found his birth mother! Lauren: Where?! Amber: Right here in Genoa City. Gloria: Do we know her? Cane: We're not sure if it's her, so... Amber: I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said anything. [Cell phone rings] Cane: Cane here. Jill: It's Jill and I have the test results. How soon can you get to the house? Cane: Give us ten minutes. Amber: Yeah? [SCENE_BREAK] Phyllis: So is there any change in how the board votes are stacking up? Nick: Dad and I are working on a few things. Phyllis: Good. I think it's important to have a backup plan. Nikki: Um, could you two excuse us please for a minute? Nick: Sure. Victor: See you later. Nikki: How could you do this? Don't you know how much Victoria looks up to you? Victor: You don't think I do? Nikki: Well, then why do you treat her this way? Do you have any idea how important this baby is to her? Victor: Why the hell are you so upset? I'm as happy about it as you are. Nikki: Well, after all of the uncertainty with Brad, she finally feels safe enough to bring a baby into the world and you just ruin it! Victor: How? How did I just ruin it? By not wanting her to stress over Clear Springs? Nikki: By using her pregnancy to get an edge on a business deal. You know exactly what you did. [SCENE_BREAK] Victoria: Why do I get my hopes up that he might react like a normal father? Brad: No one's ever accused Victor Newman of being normal. Victoria: I want you to promise me something. Brad: Anything. Victoria: That we will never treat our child that way. Brad: I promise. Victoria: All right. I don't care if our baby wants to be a doctor or a lawyer or a dog walker, but if he or she ever wants to come and work for Newman, it's not gonna happen. Nick: Boy, Dad really knows how to put his foot in his mouth, huh? Victoria: I'm glad you're so amused, Nick. Nick: He didn't mean that stuff the way it came out. Victoria: Of course you're gonna say that, because you're on his side. Nick: Why does there have to be sides? Victoria: Because. Nick: It happened to me with Noah and now with Summer. Victoria: That doesn't mean that I'm gonna forget about Newman. Nick: You don't have to, Sis. Just don't let it interfere with your happiness. Promise? Victoria: Yeah, I promise. Nick: All right. Victoria: There's nothing more important than this baby. [SCENE_BREAK] Victor: I did not mean to upset Victoria, all right? Nikki: What you said, and what you did are two very different things. Victor: I'll deal with it. Nikki: How? Victor: Don't you worry. Victor: Bob my God. Bob: Hello, Nikki. Nikki: Hello, Bob. Bob: My letter of resignation. Victor: Well, well, well... Nikki: You're retiring from the board? Bob: I think its best. Nikki: It's awfully sudden. Victor: No, Bob has been talking about this for some time. Victor: Listen you enjoy your time in Idaho. Say hello to your family. Victor: And thanks for all the great work you've done. Bob: Good seeing you both. Nikki: You, too. You forced him to step down. Didn't you? Victor: I did no such thing. Nikki: And I'm sure you have somebody waiting to fill his seat. Victor: You bet I do. Neil Winters deserves it. He's been waiting for a seat on the board. [SCENE_BREAK] Brad: Just the person I was looking for. Phyllis: Wow, you shock me. I thought it would take you a couple days to come around. Brad: It ain't gonna happen, Phyllis. Phyllis: Oh, it ain't? Brad: No. I won't be blackmailed. Phyllis: See, Brad, that is such a vulgar word. I prefer to look at this as, um, friendly persuasion. Brad: Mmm. You can't prove that Sharon and I did anything wrong. Phyllis: No, I can't, but Carlos the room service waiter can. Brad: Carlos the room service waiter? Give me a break. You don't know that he'd come through for you. And even if he did, I'd chew him up and spit him out. The fact is, this whole thing could backfire on you. Phyllis: Oh? And how's that? Brad: Do you really want your new in-law to know that you were blackmailing me? You wanna expose your manipulative nature to Victor and Nikki? Well, then of course, there's Nick. I really don't think he'd approve of your tactics. [SCENE_BREAK] Korbel: What? What is it? Colleen: Wait a minute. Oh, J.T. left his cell phone. What if he comes back? Korbel: Let me see that. Colleen: Why? Colleen: Maybe you should hide. Korbel: No, let him come. Colleen: Okay. J.T.: Hey, I forgot my cell phone. Did you forget your important papers, Professor Korbel? Korbel: Did you forget your cell phone, Hellstrom? J.T.: Give me that. Korbel: Not until I show Colleen what a lying bastard you are. J.T. called the dean yesterday. I know her number by heart. Colleen: That means that... Korbel: J.T. was the one who reported us. [SCENE_BREAK] Jill: Thanks for coming. Amber: Cane has been waiting for this moment all day. Kay: We haven't opened it yet. Jill: Look, my hands are shaking. Kay: Well, then I will do the honors. Jill: No, no, no, let me. Kay: Read it, Jill. For heaven's sakes, just read it. Jill: He's not my son. You're not my son. [NEXT_ON] Korbel: Don't underestimate my ability to knock you out. J.T.: Don't underestimate the joy it would give me to watch you try. Colleen: Okay, you know what? Stop it! Sharon: You just talk to Phyllis? Brad: She knows about us. Amber: If there is even just the tiniest chance, you guys should do the test again.
