"Don't you realize What she Could do to you?" "You gave her that property." "she owns it." "I don't care about that." "Nothing is going to stop ME." "alexis Will." "You'rE on probation." "she Wants you to do something like this so she Can get even With you." "now, KrystlE, you'vE been trying to get her out of here for Months now." "And I still do, but not if it means your getting hurt in the process." "besides, your grandson's coming home tomorrow." "now, What does that have to do With this?" "It's such a special day." "Don't destroy that pleasure for yourself, blake." "You'vE waited so long for this baby." "I don't understand you." "how you Can defend her after What she did to you, to us, to our Child." "I'M not defending her." "I hate her." "I'M just afraid of What she Can do to you." "blake, please." "All right, for now." "But I Will not let her get away With this, I swear." "I Will not." "Mr. Carrington?" "yes, come in, joseph." "there's a phone Call for you from steven." "Los angeles?" "No." "HE's here in denver." "HE's been arrested." " hello, steven." " Dad." "WEll, I'M glad to see that you'rE safe, at least." "What does that mean?" "That you made it back from Los angeles in one piece." "after stopping off in more than a few towns and at more than a few bars, as I understand it." "I drank slowly and I drove slowly." "steven, I'd like you turn around and look at ME when WE talk." "Did you hear What I said?" "now, did you find sammy Jo?" " yes." " What happened?" "It's My business." "WEll, WE didn't come here to talk about her anyway, did WE?" "I'vE spoken to the desk sergeant, he's having your bail papers filled out." "It'll take about 10 minutes." "HE said that you didn't have Enough money on you to bail yourself out." " That's right." " how come?" "I Was near home and I Was just about out of Cash." "But you did have Enough money in Santa FE to buy that young Man a few beers or whatever." "HE bought them for ME." " Oh, really?" " yes." "But you'rE right." "I Was loaded in Santa FE." "I had 100 Carrington dollars to My name." "Don't get smart With ME, steven." "I'M not in the Mood for it tonight." "What happened?" "I told you about it on the phone." "No, you didn't." "All you said Was that he tried to blackmail you." "Why don't you finish saying it?" "how considering My past history," "Why Would I invite a stranger, a Man, to drive back With ME?" "I mean, that's the next question, isn't it?" "I'd be lying to you, son, if I said no." "And you don't lie, do you?" "No, I don't." "Not to anyone." "I don't have to lie." "Go home, Dad." "I don't need you to bail ME out." "Fallon." "Fallon." "I Wanna talk." "Oh, jeff, WE'vE talked practically all night." "What is it?" "It's still our son." "now, there are some facts WE'rE gonna have to face about us and him before WE bring him home tomorrow." "WEll, one fact for sure is, is if WE don't get some sleep," "WE'rE gonna be too tired to pick him up." "I Was thinking about My father." "I still hurt for his loss." "And if WE don't give our son a chance to grow up With a mother and a father," "WE Could be hurting him very badly." "WEll, it Couldn't be any worse than living With our fights." "maybe." "WE just have to forget about ourselves for once and just think about the baby." "I'll think about it, okay?" "now Can I go back to sleep?" "yeah, go back to sleep." "What do you mean you left steven in jail?" "Fallon, I aM late for a business appointment." "I'd like to have a nice quiet breakfast and get out of here." "peter, some bacon and Eggs, please." "Good Morning, marie." "Daddy, I asked you a question about steven." "I got andrew Laird up out of bed at 6:00 this Morning to go down to that jail to talk to steven." "those Eggs are overdone and the bacon is burned." "HE talked to steven and he said that he Would represent him in Court." "WEll, he got about as far as I did last night." "All right, all right, if your brother Wants to face this thing by himself, fine." "maybe it'll make a Man out of him." "HE is a Man." "God." "when are you two gonna get together?" "What's gonna be the End of this?" "I don't know." "I Wish I did." "For his sake and for all our sakes." "What did you say to him?" "You Must have said something to upset him." "Will you please stop Cross-ExaMining ME." "And stop telling ME how to be a father." "Fallon." "What am I supposed to tell My son today, when he comes home?" ""Sorry your uncle steven isn't here, but as usual, he and his grandfather don't see eye to eye."" "This Was supposed to be a happy day." "It Will be." "Will it?" "come in." " What is it, joseph?" " It's Mrs. BlaisdEl." "she's demanding that I get her a suitcase immediately." "suitcase?" "she says she's leaving for South america to get her daughter." "Call Dr. TosCanni." "I'll talk to her."

"I'M not sure how far ecuador is." "It's quite far." "WEll, so is China, but" "I mean, people are going there in droves all the time." "It's in all the travel magazines, "come to friendly China."" "You don't think I should go, do you?" "Why, I don't think that you should go until you see Dr. TosCanni." "Until he makes sure that you'rE strong Enough to make the trip." "I'M fine." "there is nothing that's Wrong With ME." "Claudia, you'rE recovering from an accident." "accident?" "What accident?" "I don't remember any accident." "I'll tell you What I do remember." "I remember how sneaky you Can be." "I remember how sneaky you were With My husband." "With matthew." "when they took ME away to the sanitarium, you took him from ME." "Took him from ME." "So if this idea of yours is just more of thE same, bringing Dr. TosCanni here to give ME his stamp of approval," "which you, I know, are going to talk him into not giving ME, no, no." "No, the answer is no." "I mean, there's no Way I'M going to listen to you or believe you." "Go, please." "I mean, I'M busy here." "You Can see that." "how much is it?" "A medium With mushrooms, 7 bucks." "Pay the Man, Will you, CECil?" " You said $7?" " yes." " remember, BEppE's 24-hour service." " Oh, I'll never forget." " there you are." "keep the change." " Thank you." "WEll, this is a kinky breakfast that I'vE invited you to." "Pizza and pink champagne?" "I think it's marvelous." "Did you bring the pizza up to the champagne or the champagne down to the pizza?" " these mushrooms look good." " yeah." "taste good too." "Do you know those damned servants over at thE house?" "they Won't let ME borrow a thing from the kitchen anymore." "I'M not even allowed to show My face over there." "ThE other day, I said to Mrs. GunnErson that I'd really like to have a loaf of her wonderful salmon pate." "And do you know What the wretched woman had the nerve to say to ME?" ""l'M sorry, Mrs. Carrington, but I'M not even allowed to give you so much as a graham cracker."" "WEll, as it so happens, I loathe graham crackers." "But the cheek of thE woman." "Why did you invite ME over for breakfast this Morning, alexis?" "WEll, I think that you should be the first to know." "I'vE decided to accept your proposal." " You What?" " l'M going to Marry you." "No kiss for the bridE-to-bE?" "I think that Can be arranged." "WEll, your lips have been known to be more passionate, CECil." "even at breakfast?" "breakfast, brunch, lunch and Midnight suppErs." "What Was it george bernard shaw wrote?" ""there are two tragedies in life:" "one is not to get your heart's desire, the other is to get it."" "Or something like that." "I see, so you see our future marriage as a tragedy, do you?" "Not at all." "But you never fail to surprise ME." "I mean, this suddEnnEss." "You'vE kept ME at arm's length, figuratively speaking, for Eons." "But perhaps it's the unexpected that makes you so attractive." "So My unpredictability is an aphrodisiac of sorts." "Shall WE drink to that?" "Why did you decide now?" "WEll, maybe I had to get rid of a lot of old ghosts first." " Why, blake's not dead." " Oh, no." "blake is very much alive." "But you no longer love him." "love blake?" "Don't be ridiculous." "I loathe blake." "I'vE always loathed him." "surprise again." "That Must have been the bEst-guardEd secret around." "Do you really think that I Would'vE come back to denver to testify in that disgusting trial if I had any love left in My heart for him?" " I thought things changed after that." " they didn't." "sometimes I" "I pretended they did, but I had My reasons." "HE's vile, he's arrogant, and I'd like nothing more than to see him destroyed." "are you serious?" "Oh, I'M deadly serious." "WEll, don't you hate blake Carrington too?" "You mean as a business competitor?" "No, as an anything." "WEll, put it this Way." "there's no love lost between ME and blake Carrington." "No." "That's good." "That's very, very good." "That puts us on the same side, as it were." "tell ME some more about how much you hate blake." "I find that very exciting." "there's no love lost between us, and I do something about it every day." "KrystlE." "It's okay." " Claudia's not going." " No, she's not." "I told her that the healing process is slow and that she's got to give it more time and she finally said all right." " I didn't know how to deal With her." " come on now, that's My specialty." "I mean, after all, I'M still part psychiatrist." "It's like, I Was talking to My nephew joey the other day in NEW York." "HE said to ME, "hey, uncle nick," "MoM tells ME that you switched back to being a neurosurgeon." "That makes you onE-third shrink, onE-third CuttEr-uppEr, and onE-third Italian."" "nick, I'vE been Wanting to tell you how grateful I aM to you for What you'vE done for Claudia." "And for putting aside your personal anger towards ME." "Oh, yeah, that." "WEll" "WEll, I Was angry about that, but" "I mean, after all, What guy likes to get dumped?" "But your love for your husband Was stronger." "I just hope he realizes how lucky he is." "Mrs. GunnErson thought you Might like to have some fresh clothes to wear." "It's all right, Mr. Carrington." "I'll have these when you Want them." "despite your feelings in this matter, steven, your bail has been set." "You go into courtroom in 10 minutes at 10:30 and I'M going With you." "I told andrew Laird I didn't Want anyone here." "I'M innocent, and that's the Way I'M going to plead, by myself." "I don't Want any high-priCEd DEnvEr-Carrington lawyer" "whispering orders to ME." "steven, plead guilty." "You think I'M guilty, is that it?" "Did you hit that young Man or didn't you?" "I Want an answer." "I don't have to answer to you for anything." "now, look, if you plead guilty, there Will be no trial." "I'vE been in your shoes." "I don't have to tell you What an ordeal My trial Was." "I Can handle it." "are you gonna be able to handle it when they bring up ted Dinard?" "This Won't be considered simple assault." "It Will be homosexual assault." "You did hit that Man, and reason or not, you'rE gonna have to answer for it." "steven, don't you understand What I'M trying to save you from?" "And it Could be that I didn't have much sleep the night before and I May have been a little grumpy this Morning." " l'M sorry." " It's okay, Dad, I" "were you able to get in touch With jeff?" " No, I tried but" " Why don't I phone him and tell him not to come here to the hospital, but to go straight home?" " Okay." " All right." " SEE you in the nursery." " You look happy now."

"Is it Worth more than ted Dinard's life?" "are WE back to that again?" "You were there, you know it Was an accident." "But My love for him Wasn't." "It Was decent and it Was honorable, but you Wouldn't accept that." "No, you had to make ME over to fit your image of a Carrington." "I wanted you to be a Man." "I aM a Man, just not your kind." "You know, I'M finally facing up to something here." "I tried to live a lie to please you." "Not anymore." "from now on, I'M gonna live My life My Way." "I'M a homosexual, Dad." "I'M gay."
