Man: Welcome back, Mr. Bardwell. Jeff: Thank you. And thank you for keeping this safe. Man: Thank you. Gloria: Well, well, well. Look who's back. Jeff: (Chuckles) Hi. I just got in. Gloria: I thought we were gonna meet at the pool house. Jeff: Oh, I thought I'd grab us some food. Gloria: Great. I'm hungry. Jeff: Oh, good. As long as you're here, why don't we, uh, have a drink and eat at the bar? Gloria: Wait a minute. I think you've forgotten something. Jeff: What? Oh. Mm. (Chuckles) Gloria: So where is it? Jeff: Where's what? Gloria: The face cream-- the reason you went to Korea. Jeff: (Sighs) I'm sorry--jet-lagged. I'm not thinking clearly. Gloria: Okay, okay. Well, show it to me. Where is it? Jeff: I couldn't find Kyon. I have no idea where the cream is. [SCENE_BREAK] Nikki: I asked you a question, David. Who is Angelo Serafini? David: Angelo Serafini is my real name. Nikki: I don't understand. David: I've lied to you about who I am. Nikki: (Sighs) [SCENE_BREAK] (Door closes) Victor: What are you doing here? Nick: I was just, uh, returning the keys to the tack house. Victor: Put 'em on the table. Victor: Something else? Nick: Yeah. You know, its one thing to punish me. But you are taking away the only home your granddaughter's ever known. Victor: As long as she's surrounded by loving parents, she'll be all right. Nick: How'd you get to be so heartless? Victor: That is pretty harsh for you to say, Son. You have sailed on your father's coattails all your life. Nick: Oh, you mean 'cause I worked at Newman? Victor: You have had everything handed to you on a silver platter. You know that, don't you? Nick: And I always had to do exactly what you said. Why do you think I started my own business? Victor: A business that I advised you against going into. It won't last long... Nick: Time will tell. Victor: As long as you continue publishing slanderous articles, as you did about Sabrina. Nick: It was an editorial decision. If the facts prove wrong, I will accept full responsibility. Victor: Right. Well, you brought the key. Thank you. [SCENE_BREAK] Gloria: Thank you. Jeff: I checked all our old haunts, talked to everybody I could think of. Gloria: You don't sound very upset. Jeff: I am, and I want that face cream as badly as you do. Gloria: Somehow I doubt it. Jeff: Look, I was really looking forward to giving you that cream so you'd never have to worry again that I'd use it against you. Gloria: All right, fine. Go back to Korea. Jeff: Honey, for all we know, she's moved away, or she's traveling. Gloria: And you're very resourceful. Find her. Jeff: Aren't you being a little paranoid? She has no idea what that cream is. She probably threw it away. Gloria: It was in a safe filled with valuable stuff, and she ain't stupid. Jeff: Yeah, well, if she can't spend it, she's not interested. Gloria: Yeah, but what if she does use it and burns herself? Not that I'd care. Don't need her calling the cops on me. Jeff: There's no way she could connect it to you. Gloria: Yeah, easy for you to say. You--you're not the one who could end up in prison. And besides, Michael said without that face cream, he's not helping us buy up Jabot stock. Jeff: Trust me. We don't need your son, and we don't need the cream. [SCENE_BREAK] David: Why don't you see if you can tie it in with Jabot Retro? All right. Thanks. Nikki: Okay. Start explaining. David: Changing my name was the best move I ever made. It gave me a whole new life. Nikki: Really? And how is that? David: The neighborhood I grew up in, Nikki, there was a lot of organized crime. Nikki: Oh, my God. Are you telling me you're involved in that? David: No. No. No, I was a punk kid. I got mixed up in petty stuff-- breaking and entering, shoplifting. Nikki: Okay, okay. Just get to the point. David: I realized early on that's not the life I wanted for myself. Nikki: Well, then you change your behavior. You don't change your name unless there's more to this story. David: No. No. It's just everybody had me pegged as a criminal. The only hope I had was to reinvent myself. Nikki: You know, all I have ever asked of you is to be honest with me. David: I don't blame you for being angry. Nikki: I am angry. I am so angry. I fell in love with a man named David Chow. Apparently, he doesn't exist. David: I'm still the same person, Nikki. Nikki: Well, is that supposed to be a good thing? How do I know that you're even telling me the truth right now? You lie as easily as you breathe. David: I'm sorry. I know. I know I should have told you. Nikki: Well, why didn't you? David: Nikki, come on. I was ashamed of my past, of who I used to be. I didn't want you to think less of me. Nikki: This has nothing to do with shame. The only reason you're telling me this now is because you got caught. If I hadn't have found out about this, you would still be lying to me. [SCENE_BREAK] Brad: Now if you want to take power from Katherine, it has to come out of the blue. Jill: Katherine needs to take her retirement seriously. And David and Nikki need to go off and work on their marriage. Brad: Among other things. Jill: What does that mean? Brad: It has recently come to my attention that David Chow has a gambling problem. Jill: Define "Problem." Brad: He's lost a ton of money. Jill: And how do you know this? Brad: You'll just have to trust me. It's a reliable source. Jill: (Sighs) Wow. All right, if it's true, we need to handle this internally. Brad: Yeah, absolutely. Shareholders get word that our co-C.E.O. has a gambling addiction, and there'll be a panic. Jill: I'll bet Nikki and David would do anything to keep this quiet. Brad: Well, I know I would, if I were in their shoes. Jill: Evidence, though. We need evidence if we're gonna use it as leverage. Brad: (Sighs) Yeah, I've been thinking about that. What about Chow's phone records? Jill: Good idea. Look into that. (Knock on door) Jill: Come in! Heather: Jill, you wanted to see me? Jill: Yes, Heather. Uh, I brought in Ji Min's personal effects as you asked. Heather: Oh, thank you. Brad: What's going on? Jill: Heather is reopening the investigation into Ji Min's death. Heather: Unofficially, of course, since I'm no longer the assistant D.A. Brad: Oh, I thought that case went cold. Heather: It did. But the killer's still out there. Brad: All right, well, good luck catching him. I'll take care of that matter we talked about. Jill: Yeah, let me know. Heather: (Sighs) You know, the other times I looked through this, I-I didn't find anything, but I think if I look at it with a fresh set of eyes-- Jill: You might see something you missed? Heather: Exactly. I have to learn everything I can about Ji Min, get a glimpse into what kind of man he was. And then maybe I'll be able to get him some justice. Jill: Yeah. [SCENE_BREAK] Phyllis: There's a penguin right there. What's the penguin doing, huh? Hey. How did it go with your father? Nick: Well, we are definitely moving out. Phyllis: R-really? Did--did you tell your dad that Jack changed the article without our approval? Nick: No. Phyllis: Why would you cover for Jack? Nick: Well, certainly not out of loyalty to him. Hey, Beautiful. Phyllis: Hey, listen. He--he needs to know. Victor needs to know that Jack did this, not us. Nick: Why? So he can twist this around and make it my fault? Phyllis: Why would he do that? Nick: Because Dad warned me not to go into business with Jack because he couldn't be trusted. Phyllis: Well, I-I still think that Victor needs to know that we were just as appalled as he was. Nick: After the way my father spoke to me, I don't feel the need to explain anything to him. Phyllis: What did-- what did he say? Nick: He said that I was leeching off my wealthy father my whole life. Phyllis: He said that? Nick: Hey, if that's the way my father feels about me, whatever. I'm just gonna start packing. [SCENE_BREAK] Sabrina: Was that Nick's voice I just heard? Was he here? Victor: Yeah. Sabrina: Did he-- did he come here to apologize for the article? Victor: No. You give people far too much credit, my darling. Sabrina: Why was he here then? Victor: To return the key to the tack house. He's moving out. Sabrina: When did he decide to do that? Victor: He didn't. I did. Sabrina: Victor... Victor: (Sighs) He is not allowed back on this ranch or the tack house or any of my other properties. Sabrina: No, you-- you wouldn't do that. Victor: Yes, my darling. I would, and I did. Sabrina: Victor, why? Victor: What I never told you is that over the years, my son has shown an enormous amount of disrespect toward his father. One of the most egregious examples was when he actually went to the federal authorities to betray me, his own father. Sabrina: But I don't want you to permanently damage your relationship with Nick, or Victoria, for that matter. Victor: Damn. Victor: I have given those two children everything they could possibly want. Maybe when they were growing up, I didn't spend as much time with them as I should have. But you know, when you are in business and when you build this kind of empire, you don't always have time for family. (Sighs) How do they repay me? By being disrespectful, utterly disrespectful, to the woman that I've chosen to marry, the woman I love. Sabrina: I know that you're doing this to protect me. But I'm sure there's another way to handle this. Victor: This is the only way to handle it. [SCENE_BREAK] Nick: Here you go, Summer. Phyllis: I made you a sandwich. Nick: I'm not hungry. Phyllis: Well, you didn't eat breakfast, so you should eat something. Nick: I said I'm not hungry. I'm sorry. Phyllis: It's okay. I understand that you're upset after what your dad did. I get it. Nick: (Sighs) It's his loss. Phyllis: Well, it's kind of yours, too. Nick: Are you kidding me? I am better off in every way out of his life. Phyllis: Right. Nick, what your father did was wrong. He turned his back on you. I understand that, okay? It's gotta be killing you. Just admit it. [SCENE_BREAK] Brad: Looking into employee phone and e-mail records-- that's legal, right? Heather: Employee communication is fair game for management. Brad: Good. Then I want you to get David Chow's telephone records. Heather: Why? What's going on? Brad: Well, we're concerned that somebody may be using his phone to leak information. Heather: What type of information? Brad: Strategies on our new product lines. Jill wants that A.S.A.P. Heather: Okay. That's weird. Adam: What was weird? Heather: You--nothing. Nothing. Nothing was weird. Adam: Me? (Laughs) You sure nothing? You're not gonna tell me? Heather: Uh, no. You're a Newman employee. Adam: Well, I'm your man, too, aren't I? Heather: And a Newman employee. Adam: Okay. Okay. Well, I'm here on, uh, personal business. Uh, I want to talk to you about something. Heather: Okay. I just have to dig up some phone records. Adam: I can wait. Heather: Okay. [SCENE_BREAK] David: I need you to understand, Nikki. Nikki: I feel so stupid. David: Why? Nikki: For defending you. I always defended you when other people doubted you. David: And I never took that for granted. You know how much that means to me. Nikki: Well, those days are over. You are a compulsive gambler, David, and your ex-wife-- no, two of your ex-wives are dead. David: (Sighs) Nikki: And now your stepdaughter. Even your name is a lie. David: Whatever happened to my ex-wives and my stepdaughter are tragedies, but they have absolutely nothing to do with my actions. This is your friend Paul turning this into something sinister. Nikki: Oh. Oh, don't you dare blame Paul. All he gave me was facts, which is a lot more than I can say for you. David: Oh, really? Oh, really? Did he give you any facts about my childhood? Nikki: What does that have to do with anything? David: I was raised in poverty, Nikki. I had an alcoholic mother and a deadbeat father. My life was a living hell. Nikki: Oh, well, do you think my childhood was rosy? David: Oh, really? Well, then, hey, you of all people should understand why I wanted to leave it all behind. Nikki: Oh, I do. I do understand that. What I don't understand is your inability to tell the truth. David: (Sighs) Oh, my gosh. Don't you get it? I was trying to protect you. Nikki: From what? David: My past. Let me tell you something. If I never got out, I'd be in the mob right now, or even worse, at the bottom of a river somewhere. [SCENE_BREAK] Paul: Oh. No, that's a very good point. All right, thanks, Bobby. J.T.: More info on Walter? Paul: Yeah, a.k.a. Tony Ammato. J.T.: So that's what the phone call was about? Paul: Yeah, uh, that was a detective friend of mine with G.C.P.D. He's got connections all over the country. J.T.: Well, what'd he say? Paul: Well, apparently, Ammato is in deep with one of the major mob families. J.T.: How deep? Paul: Mid-level hood. He does a little bit of everything. His boss whistles, Ammato jumps. J.T.: What about the people he's associated with? Paul: As bad or worse than he is. J.T.: Any chance we can meet with your buddy? Paul: I don't know. I can give him a call, see if he has time. J.T.: 'Cause if he's got photos of Ammato and his associates, we need to see those. Paul: Well, that's a very good point. And if Bobby can't identify David Chow, we can. [SCENE_BREAK] David: So do you hate me? Nikki: No. I could never hate you. (Sighs) You've been very good to me, attentive, always trying to make my life easier. David: Then you'll give me a second chance? Nikki: Second chance? David, try third or fourth or fifth. I've lost count. David: All right, wait a minute. I don't understand. What are we--? Nikki: I was wrong. I thought that our love would be enough to get through all of this deceit. But it isn't. David: What are you saying? Nikki: I'm saying it's over. I'm through giving you more chances. [SCENE_BREAK] Heather: Jill, the papers you requested on David Chow. Jill: Can I help you? Adam: Uh, no. No, I'm just here to ask Heather out. Jill: Oh. Ever heard of a phone, Adam? Adam: Wow, she really knows how to make a guy feel welcome. Heather: Uh, yeah, everyone's a little uptight here today. Adam: What's going on with Chow? Heather: I don't know. But even if I did, I wouldn't tell you about it. Adam: (Laughs) Well, you can't blame a guy for trying, can you? Heather: So what is this about asking me out? Adam: Ahh, the gala-- would you go with me? [SCENE_BREAK] Gloria: You just said we don't need Michael to buy that stock. Now what does that mean? Jeff: Can we just relax and enjoy our meal? Gloria: No, please don't patronize me, Jeffrey. What's going on? Jeff: Going on? Gloria: Well, there's something you're not telling me. Jeff: There's nothing to tell. I hit a dead end. Gloria: Yeah. You know, for somebody who couldn't wait to go to Korea to get that cream for me, you're acting awfully blasé. Jeff: Okay, fine. I was gonna wait to tell you this after we'd had hot sex. Gloria: (Whispers) Tell me what? Jeff: Mm... on my back from Korea, I made a pit stop in the Cayman Islands. Gloria: (Normal voice) Oh. To get some of my diamonds you stole from me? Jeff: (Laughing) No. No. This time I set up an offshore company for you. It's called Agreeing Lovers. Gloria: Huh. Couldn't you think of something better? Jeff: It's an anagram for "Gloria's Revenge." Gloria: Oh, I like that. Jeff: Yeah. Yeah. Gloria: And that's how we're gonna buy up the Jabot stock? Jeff: Yeah. They'll never in a million years trace it to us. Gloria: (Laughs) Just tell me one thing. Jeff: Hmm? Gloria: Were you really gonna tell me about this? Jeff: You know, you really do need to learn to start trusting me. Gloria: Hmm. [SCENE_BREAK] Victor: Voilà. Sabrina: Merci. You know, I'm starting to feel like I have a baby bump. Victor: You do? Sabrina: Mm-hmm. Victor: You look the same to me. Sabrina: I know you have so many hopes and dreams for this child, Victor. Victor: Yes, I do. Sabrina: And... Victor: (Sighs) Sabrina: I'm sure you had the same hopes and dreams for Nick. Victor: I did. Sabrina: I just need to know, Victor, that no matter what our child does in the future to upset you, that you're not just gonna shut him or her out of your life. Victor: (Sighs) Sweetheart, I won't do that. You know that. But I am absolutely stunned by how forgiving you can be, considering what Nicholas has done to you. Sabrina: I don't know if I'm that forgiving. I just--the other day at the coffeehouse, we got into it big-time... Victor: Really? Sabrina: Nick and I. Yeah. Victor: Hmm. Sabrina: But... Victor: (Sighs) Sabrina: He's still your son, and he's a part of you-- you, the man I love. And just because of that, I will always care what happens to him. Victor: But I can't be as forgiving as you. Sabrina: I don't believe that for one second. I see how affectionate you are... Victor: (Sighs) Sabrina: How you kiss me here... Victor: Mm. Sabrina: How you talk to the baby. Victor: Mm-hmm. Sabrina: And I'm sure when Nick was a child, that you sang to him, and you talked to him, and when he was born and they put him in your arms, the immense joy and the immense love you must have felt for him. Well... he's still that same child, no matter how much he-- he angers you or hurts you or upsets you. Victor: But I've got to tell you that all that sounds wonderful, but I just have very painful memories of how arrogantly and disrespectfully my son has often dealt with me. I think he almost... was angered by the fact that I had given him so much. I mean, he out-and-out betrayed me. Sabrina: (Sighs) He did something utterly foolish and reckless, that's for sure, but betrayal? Victor... Victor: (Sighs) Sabrina: I think the biggest betrayal is for you to turn your back on your son. Please, please, please... don't do something you'll regret for the rest of your life. [SCENE_BREAK] Phyllis: Oh. Summer... is down... for the count. Nick, come on. Stop, please. Nick: No. I need to get this done. Phyllis: Well, you don't need to do it right now. Nick: Yeah, I do. Can you see if the paper came today yet? Phyllis: Why? Nick: 'Cause we need to start looking for real estate. Phyllis: No. No, we're gonna sit down and talk first, okay? Nick: I don't want to talk. I just want to get the hell out of here. Phyllis: And then what? Nick: And then we find a new place to live, and we don't look back. Phyllis: Well, it's not that easy. Nick: Yeah, it really is. Phyllis: You have years and years of memories here. Nick: Well, then we make new ones. Phyllis: But you can't deny yourself the old ones. Th-this land is a part of you. You can't just walk away from it. Nick: Well, my father didn't really give me much of a choice. Phyllis: All right, well, he denied you that-- all the more reason you shouldn't walk away. You shouldn't let him take away the feelings that you have toward this place. Nick: You know, once I remember... riding my bike down by the spring, and I was kind of embarrassed, because my training wheels were still on. And I wanted them off, so I asked my dad to do it, but he didn't really want to. I finally talked him into it, and, uh, after a shaky start, you know, I was doing it. I was riding the two-wheeler. And I looked back at my dad, and he had this-- just this big smile on his face. He was proud of me. I'd made my dad proud. And the next thing I knew, I was, you know, riding my bike into the spring, got all wet. (Laughs) Yeah, I'm gonna miss this place. Phyllis: What about the landlord? Are you gonna miss him? Nick: (Laughs) What's the point? Once my dad's made up his mind, there's no getting through to him. Phyllis: I don't know about that. I just don't know about that, Nick. Why don't you let me talk to him? Nick: (Sighs) It won't do any good. He's a lost cause. Doing things twice is ridiculous. Phyllis: Let's sit down. You need a break. Nick: (Inhales deeply) I guess I'm pretty wiped out. Phyllis: (Sighs) Well, I would be, too. Nick: You know, my dad's right. I have been riding his coattails my whole life. Phyllis: That is not true. Hey, that's not true. You've worked very hard for what you've achieved. Nick: Yeah, but he's always been, you know, a part of it. You know, maybe this is a blessing in disguise. It's a chance for me to finally get out from under his control. Phyllis: Yeah. You know, we're never really gonna be free of your father. You know that, right? Nick: Wow. Party pooper. Phyllis: (Laughs) I am not a party pooper. Nick: (Laughs) Phyllis: (Laughs) You have the wrong girl. Nick: No, no, no. I got the right girl. And I'm sure as hell glad I do. Phyllis: (Laughs) (Laughs) [SCENE_BREAK] Victor: Hmm. Sabrina: You've been very quiet. Victor: Mm-hmm. I've been thinking. Sabrina: Come to any conclusions? Victor: (Inhales deeply) Mm-hmm. How lucky I am that I've been given a second chance to do it right. Sabrina: Do what right? Victor: Fatherhood. Victor: I guess I finally realized that family is the most important thing there is, even more important than success and money. Sabrina: Then if you feel that way, you'll reach out to the family you already have. Victor: You're not gonna give up, are you? Sabrina: No. Victor: Hmm? Sabrina: No. Victor, you're the one who said that you're blessed enough to have a second chance at fatherhood. Victor: Mm-hmm. Sabrina: So doesn't your son deserve a second chance? Please, please go to him. Take the high road. [SCENE_BREAK] Jill: All right, some of these look very familiar. I mean, there's Nikki's cell phone, the Athletic Club, Victoria. Brad: Yeah, well, that one comes up a lot, doesn't it? Jill: Does that look familiar to you? [Brad remembering] Brad: Andy, hey. Brad Carlton. Well, you tell me. How's our boy's win-loss column looking? [SCENE_BREAK] Jill: Brad? Brad: (Sighs) No. You know what? Why don't you call it? Maybe it's his bookie. Jill: That is worth a shot. Jill: Yeah, um, I'm a friend of David Chow's. I'd like to place a bet on a horse. Brad: What happened? Jill: He said if I'm a friend of David Chow's, I could stuff my bet. Brad: Wow. That's his bookie, all right, and he's placed a ton of calls to that number. Jill: Yeah. It looks like we have our proof. [SCENE_BREAK] Adam: Uh, I need to talk to you right away, okay? This is starting to worry me. I need to get that information on David. Is he a pro? How much did he lose that night? Call me back. (Sighs) Oh, come on. Where the hell is she? Nikki: I beg your pardon? Adam: Oh, hey, Nikki. Sorry. Just talking to myself. Bad habit. Nikki: What did Adam want? Heather: A date. We're going to the gala together. Nikki: Well, you might want to think about that before getting involved with a Newman. [Nikki leaves and Heather picks up a photo] Heather: Ji Min... and who's the other guy? [SCENE_BREAK] Paul: Yeah, that's the guy that calls himself Walter. Bobby: Well, it's definitely Ammato. Paul: (Sighs) Bobby: You should know, he knows how to cover his tracks. J.T.: Meaning you suspect him, but you can't prove anything. Bobby: Tony's a very bad dude. Paul: All right, thanks, Bobby. That really confirms what we, uh, always suspected. Bobby: Be careful, Paul. Ammato and his crew-- as dangerous as they come. [SCENE_BREAK] Nikki: What part of "We're through" did you not understand? David: I do still work here, Nikki. Nikki: Not for long. David: I know you're hurt, but I am good at what I do. Think of the company. Nikki: I am thinking of the company. I can't be with you every day all day. It's too painful. David: What about the gala? Nikki: What about it? David: Well, can't we at least keep up appearances until it's over? [SCENE_BREAK] Jeff: (Laughs) What's that for? Gloria: For being such a loving and handsome and devious husband. Jeff: Devious? Gloria: Yes. How clever-- opening a company in the Cayman Islands just for us. Jeff: Well, I learned a lot from you. Gloria: I think I've learned more from you. Jeff: (Laughs) Gaining some control of Jabot is gonna be a lot easier now. Gloria: And it proves that agreeing lovers can accomplish anything. Jeff: I love it when you talk dirty. (Laughs) Gloria: Let's go home. Jeff: Works for me. Gloria: Okay. I just think I'll stop by the powder room, and I'll meet you out front. Jeff: Okay. [SCENE_BREAK] Nikki: You expect me to stand by your side and pretend everything is fine? David: Not for me, for Jabot. Nikki: It's not gonna change anything. David: It'll give you some time to think. Nikki: I don't need time to think. I've made up my mind. David: What about the patrons of the gala? How do you think they're gonna feel once they find out that there's a rift between us? Nikki: Why do they care? David: We're the co-C.E.O.s of the company that's sponsoring the damn thing. I mean, if that's not bad enough, imagine Victor's reaction to the news that we've split. Nikki: (Sighs) I'd never hear the end of it. David: Not to mention the fact that it'll take away the focus from a very worthy charity. Nikki: Fine, but the minute the gala is over, I'm filing for divorce. [SCENE_BREAK] Sabrina: Well, it's-- it's their job to figure that out. They can just work in shifts. I'm coming in. I'll check on it. Okay. Bye. Victor: Who was that? Sabrina: (Speaking French) Just some stuff for the gala that I need to take care of. Victor: Do you have to go? Sabrina: Soon. Victor: Yeah? Sabrina: But while I'm gone... Victor: Mm-hmm. Sabrina: I want you to think about what I've said. Victor: You're such a kind soul. Sabrina: Underneath all that armor... Victor: Hmm. Sabrina: You are, too. Victor: (Chuckles) Sabrina: Mm. You don't believe that, huh? Mon amour, please, do the right thing. I love you so much. Victor: Go get ready. Sabrina: Yeah. (Sighs) (Door opens) (Door closes) Victor: Hello, Adam. Adam: Hey, Dad. I've got some news. Victor: Oh, yeah? What's up? Adam: Well, it turns out Brad and Jill are digging into David's past. Victor: In other words, they'll find out about his gambling. Adam: Mm. Actually, they're gonna try and keep it hidden for Jabot's sake, which, I think, makes it the perfect time for us to go public. Victor: Well, thank you for telling me that. Adam: Well, it's what you do for family. Victor: That's very useful knowledge. [SCENE_BREAK] Phyllis: All right, you need this. Nick: Oh, yes, I do. Phyllis: (Laughs) Nick: So, uh... where do you want to live, beautiful? Phyllis: Uh, a loft downtown near the magazine. Nick: Mm... I think I want Summer to have a yard. Phyllis: There are parks, lots of parks. Nick: Yeah. Phyllis: (Laughs) Nick: You know, this is gonna be great. It's a new everything for us-- a new-- a new business, a new home, a new life. Phyllis: Yeah. It'll be exciting. Nick: Besides, it doesn't matter where we live. Home is where you and Summer are. [SCENE_BREAK] Jeff: (Sighs) Gloria: So the charges my husband and I made in Korea and the Cayman Islands went through? Excellent. Thank you. Gloria: Are you all ready, lover man? Jeff: Yeah. (Laughing) Gloria: (Laughs) [SCENE_BREAK] Jill: Heather, I want you to pull David Chow's contract and personnel records and drop them off in my office. Heather: Okay. Jill: These are his phone records. I want you to put everything together and put it in the top right-hand drawer of my desk. Heather: No problem. Jill: Okay. (Sighs) Brad: The countdown begins. Jill: Nikki never should have hired David Chow. Brad: Yeah, well, even worse, she married the guy. Jill: I wonder if she knew he had a gambling problem. Brad: Well, either way, she bet on the wrong horse-- excuse the pun. Jill: It just makes it that much more simple for us to get them out of here. [SCENE_BREAK] David: Leo, hey, it's me, Angelo Serafini. Yeah, yeah. I know it's been a long time. Listen, I need you to score me some "Dreamer." Liquid. I don't care how much it costs. I'll pay. Just get it to me by tonight. Thanks. Call me. (Sighs) [SCENE_BREAK] Adam: Where are you off to? Sabrina: I'm going to the Colonnade room. There's a-- there are some decorations I'm overseeing at the-- for the gala. Adam: Well, that sounds like fun. Sabrina: Uh, yeah. Adam, I need a favor. Adam: Okay. What? Sabrina: Are you aware that Victor cut off Victoria and Nick from his will? Adam: Yeah. I didn't see that coming. Sabrina: Could you talk to him? Tell him how wrong it is. Adam: No. Sabrina: Maybe-- maybe he'll listen to you. Adam: No. Sabrina, no. I don't touch that. That's none of my business. Sabrina: Is it because it's none of your business or because it will leave more inheritance for you? Adam: (Scoffs) Right, 'cause that's-- that's the kind of person I am. Look, um, I'm not gonna change your mind. You think what you will. Sabrina: Adam, you got to trust me on this one. Victoria and Nick's loss is not necessarily your gain. Keep that in mind. [SCENE_BREAK] Nick: If you're here with more ultimatums, you don't have to worry about that. We're packing up. Victor: It's not necessary. Nick: Why? Victor: Because I've decided, in spite of your rather reprehensible behavior, that you and Phyllis and Summer can stay. Nick: I don't want to stay. We've moving. Victor: All right. You have it your way.
