"Thank you, Mr. Jensen." "The Denver-Carrington building, Dennis." "Yes, Marcia?" "Mrs. Colby's here to see you." "Oh, fine." "Ask her to come in, please." "Come in, Fallon, I'll be with you in a moment." "It's not your darling daughter, Blake." "There are two Mrs. Colbys now, you know." "Yes, yes, you managed that very well." "I've heard of shotgun weddings but deathbed weddings?" "That's not fair, Blake." "Alexis, you really have got a lot of nerve to come barging in here after what happened at Colby's office." "Correction, Blake." "It's my office now." "And I didn't come here to discuss the contents of Cecil's will," " I came to talk about our son." " Son?" "What son?" "Now look, I've got a lot of work to do." "I refuse to stand here and waste my time talking about some fake who calls himself my son." "Fake?" "Is this rattle a fake?" "Is it?" "Where did this come from?" "He gave it to me." "Michael Torrance." "Our son, Adam." "Adam Alexander Carrington." "You may be a lot of things, Alexis, but one thing you are not is stupid." "Are you implying that I should know better?" "That this is as fake as he is?" "That he had it specially made for the occasion?" "I'm not implying." "I know it." "Then you are wrong, Blake." "Because 25 years ago," "I had Jensen's engrave this rattle with Adam's initials." "Now, a little while ago, I went back to Jensen's and Mr. Jensen told me that they hadn't made this particular design with this serial number since the year after Adam was born." "Blake, listen." "Don't you remember how he used to lie in his crib, playing with this rattle in the few short weeks before he was stolen from us?" "Don't you?" "Blake, what's happened to you?" "I'm talking about our baby." "Our first child." "Look at me and tell me that you don't believe that Michael Torrance is our son Adam." "I can't believe it." "I won't." "Well, I believe what I feel inside me:" "my instincts." "A mother knows her own child." "Alexis, you were hurt once when our son was kidnapped from us." "I wouldn't want you to be hurt all over again." "You think I'm a fool to accept him this fast, don't you?" "Yes, I do." "Well, we'll see who's the fool." "We'll see." "It looks wonderful on you, Mrs. Carrington, absolutely wonderful." "It is beautiful." "I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like it." "The clasp is a little loose." "Oh, I'll have that taken care of for you and we'll be happy to deliver it to your home." " Mrs. Colby." " Mr. Jensen." " Krystle, what a nice surprise." " Alexis." "I just dropped by to pick something up for my son." "I see you've picked out a little something for yourself too." " That's right." " It looked exquisite on you." "Thank you." "Must have been terribly expensive." "It was." "I'd love to see Blake's face when he gets the bill." "But I can just imagine what he'll say:" ""For you, my dear Krystle, nothing is too good."" "As a matter of fact, what he said was that he'd like me to stop in at Jensen's to see the present he'd selected for me for our second wedding anniversary." "Second wedding anniversary." "Really?" "How generous of him." "But then, he is generous, as generous as you are- What's the word?" " sweet." "Yes, that's what you are, Krystle." "Sweet and vicious." "Unusual combination of talents." "And doesn't it get tiring?" "You tire me, Alexis." "Don't walk away from me." "I've got something to say to you." "The fact is, Krystle, that I may have resented you at one time for what you had, namely Blake, but not anymore, not now." "Because I've found my child." "I've got Adam." "And nothing can ever hurt me or make me unhappy again." "Not even you." "Are you happy, Alexis?" "Really happy?" "Then I'm happy for you because maybe now with something of your own to fill that empty life of yours, you'll finally get out of ours." "Yes?" "Good." "Send him up." "Mr. Hess, you're right on time as usual." "Come in." "This is a great apartment, Mrs. Colby." "Yes, it is nice, isn't it?" "I was sorry to hear about your husband." "You read his obituary in the New York papers?" "Oh, yeah, it made the front page of The Times, Daily News and the Post." "Oh, well, Cecil would have been pleased." "Now, tell me about Mark Jennings." "Well, I only saw him from a distance and, as you instructed, I didn't approach him." "Well, what did you find out about him?" "Well, he was definitely married, in Ohio, to the present Mrs. Carrington." "Well, that I know." "He played the professional tennis circuit all over." "Mexico, Europe, here." "He just wasn't good enough to make it." "Now he's a pro at a country club on Long lsland," "living on lessons to juicy young things and rich divorcees." "And so he's not averse to money?" "Well, who of us is, Mrs. Colby?" "I hired you for information, Mr. Hess, not humour." "Now, I want proof that that Mexican divorce never happened." "There are no records in Acapulco or Guadalajara." "I mean, that's where Jennings went when he and Krystle split up." "I need something more tangible than that." "Well, the only way I can give you something more tangible is to confront Jennings." "You told me not to do that when I was in New York." "Now, if you'd like me to go back to New York..." "No, that won't be necessary." "I'll handle it from now on." "Here's your cheque, Mr. Hess." "Double fee, as promised." " Thank you." " You can see yourself out, can't you?" " Goodbye, Mrs. Colby." " Goodbye." "Look, Billy, I'm not a lighting expert but I know the kind of feeling that I want." "Billy, Dawson says you're a genius." "So maybe you can help me give this dead corner over here the kind of feeling that I want." "Kind of a cosy dim." "Like in, sexy dim?" " Yeah, like that." " Okay." "Thanks." " I wanna talk to you." " I'm really very busy, Jeff." " Look, I said I wanna talk to you." " Okay." " What is it?" " You haven't been home the last couple of nights." "That's right." "Things happen in hotels at night." "If you're thinking of another guy, forget it." "I don't have the time, energy or the inclination." "Well, you haven't forgotten our son, have you?" "Of course I haven't." "I was with him this morning." "I was with him yesterday morning." "Oh, when you breezed by the house for a couple of minutes, huh?" " A couple of hours." " When I wasn't there." "You weren't there." "When you are there, in case nobody's bothered to tell you," "I call every hour on the hour to check up on his feeding and see how he is and how he's doing." "Oh, I see." "The sometimes-home mother, the other-times-electronic mother." "Well, I'll tell you, that's really terrific." "Jeff, what are you doing here?" "I mean, what did you really come here for, aside from sarcasms?" "God, I don't know." "Maybe I'm too stubborn to give up on you." "Maybe there's something in me that makes think that you and I will eventually make some contact." "Is that honest enough for you?" "That's very honest." "I should be honest with you too." " Maybe" " Maybe what?" "Maybe I purposely picked a business that would keep me away from the house so I wouldn't have to deal with us." "Oh, Jeff, you do it to me, don't you?" "You always push me into a situation where I have to hurt you." " I don't want to." " Well, you do want a divorce." "Well, I don't want it for the baby's sake, but I need it for mine." "Why can't you ever think about anybody else's needs?" "Why does our son have to grow up in a divorced family?" "Well, that's not so unusual, is it?" "I mean, we both came from parents who weren't exactly crazy about each other." "Well, look at us." "Look at you." "Look at you in this office suite, this escape hatch of yours." "Who are you escaping from?" "You're not escaping from me." "And you're never gonna escape from yourself." "Tense, aren't you?" "It was the sudden sight of me, right?" "Wrong." "It has nothing to do with you." "Right, I am tense." "You're also frightened." "Well, that's not me, is it?" "I don't know." "I knew a girl once back in Montana who screamed every time she saw a tadpole." "Who adored Michael Torrance, I bet." "Well, let's say it was a different kind of scream when we were together." "Sort of hayloft gothic." "So, what do you do at the hotel?" "Secretary?" "Assistant manager?" "What?" "Well, a little of both." "Everything, in fact." "I'm climbing my way up the ladder to success." "Oh, I get it." "And kissing clients is one way to really make it to the top, right?" "If you're referring to that little peck in the bar the other night..." "That little peck you seemed to return for a moment." "You wanna try it again?" "Now?" "Well, let's just say that once was pleasantly enough." "We're not through with each other, are we?" "Aren't we?" "I don't think so." " I have work to do, Michael." " That's now." "What about later, huh?" "It should be somewhere in here, I believe." "Here it is, right here." "Well, there's no baby grave here." "Blake." "Does this prove that you're wrong?" "I don't know." "We'll have to find out." "We should be landing in Billings in about 35 minutes, Mr. Carrington." "There's a telephone call coming through for you." "Yes?" "Good." "Jonas Edwards?" "Fine." "Thank you very much." "Who's Jonas Edwards?" "He's the doctor in Billings I've been trying to track down." "The one who signed Kate Torrance's death certificate." "He's been contacted and he'll be expecting us." "Michael, possibly your child?" "Not David Torrance's son?" "I find that very hard to believe." " In fact, impossible to believe." " Now, just a minute, Dr. Edwards." "I didn't fly up here for your approval or disapproval," "I came up here to talk about some facts." "I understand you're a very powerful man down in Colorado." "Practically own a quarter of the state." "Is that true, Mr. Carrington?" "No." "No, it isn't." "And if it were true, what's it got to do with this?" "Namely, that you're in Montana now, where most people know better than to use that tone of voice." "Don't you understand, damn it?" "There are things I've got to know." " Blake." " No, please, Krystle." "Stay out of this." "What is it exactly you do want to know?" "Were you Kate Torrance's doctor when she came back here from Denver after her son and her daughter-in-law's funeral?" "That was in '57." "I was her doctor long before that." "Yes, but when she came back here from Denver, you saw the baby that she brought with her." "That's right, an infant boy." "Her grandson, Michael." "Did she ever use the name Adam?" "No, she didn't." "Why would she?" "Doctor, do you remember what season of the year it was when she brought the baby back here?" "Autumn." "Near the end of September." "But it's a long time ago." "You remember that part clearly, don't you?" "Because that was when she would celebrate his birthday." "The night he started his true life here, she'd say." "The 29th of September." "When was your son kidnapped?" "The morning of the 29th of September." "And the baby, what was his condition?" "Was he hurt or bruised in any way?" "No, he wasn't." "As a doctor, you didn't find that odd?" "He was in an automobile accident." "The same accident in which his parents had been killed." "And he arrives here without a scratch?" "No, I didn't find it odd." "As a doctor, I know that infants have been known to survive a lot worse than that." "And let me add, sir," "I was not looking for an alleged kidnap victim." "So far as I knew, the child was Kate's grandson, not your son." "Now, don't make any assumptions." "I came here to ask about Michael Torrance." "You are very hostile, Mr. Carrington." "Do you know that?" "I'm sorry." "I'm very sorry, I..." " Please forgive me." "I've been upset." " But you want to know more." "You're doubtful about all of this." "Oh, yes, of course." "I'm sorry too." "It's interesting." "You used the word "odd" a little while ago." "I sometimes found one thing about the boy very odd." "That he bore no resemblance at all to either of his parents." " I mentioned that once to Kate." " What did she say?" "Oh, she said, "That's because we're just plain old country folk, Jonas." "But my grandson is of another mould, a young prince." "Not of this time and place, really." "Not of us, really."" "Of course, I chalked it up then to her poetic nature." " And now?" " Now that we've talked about this?" "I don't really know, Mr. Carrington." "Do you?" "You're going through hell, aren't you?" "It's so hard." "It's so difficult." "Blake, you told me how arrogant Adam was that day he came to your office." "He was more than arrogant." "He was a liar." "He was an opportunistic, young liar." "Maybe it was all just a cover-up." "Maybe he was afraid of being rejected by you." "I don't know." "The only thing I do know is that I didn't trust him then and I still don't." "But..." "I don't know." "It would be easier if you were sure he wasn't your son, wouldn't it?" "Yes." "Now, this is real." "Not like that phoney paradise they're trying to redo back there." "I don't think it's phoney." "I think it's fun." "Real loyal to management, aren't you?" "Well, why not?" "I mean, they do sign your paycheck." " Weren't you even curious?" " About what?" "Seeing my hotel room after our swim?" "Oh, that." "Not really." "You've seen one, seen them all?" "All right, I'm talking about unoccupied rooms." "Yes, unoccupied rooms." "Definitely." "Oh, right, the abbey." "Indulgent rich have got to be indulged with extra towels and fresh flowers and a little tiny mint on their pillow." " You don't like the rich." " I can take them or leave them." "Is that why you checked into a hotel that's filthy with them?" "The filthy rich, that is?" "Well, call it curiosity that brought me here." "I'll bet." "You're probably looking for some wealthy heiress-type to latch on to." "Me?" "Any heiress I get, if I want one, is gonna latch on to me." "And maybe I'll say, "Yes," when she proposes," " Because-?" " Because I say what I feel and I take what I want." "There's one thing I did learn in Montana:" "How to handle horses and women." "I thought the song went," ""There never was a horse that couldn't be rode." "There never was a cowboy couldn't be throwed."" "Kind of turns around what you just said, doesn't it?" "Not in my case." "Not when it comes to getting what I want." "Do you know what I want right now?" "I mean, very badly?" "You." "You don't know anything about me, not even my name." "You'll tell me later." "Very softly." "And whatever it is, I'll say, "That's beautiful." "That's a beautiful name."" "Just like you are." "Exciting, beautiful." "When can I see you again?" "Tonight?" "Seven o'clock?" "Meet me outside the bar." "This should be fine." "I think that" "I'll talk to you tomorrow." "Hello, did I make it?" "Oh, 7 on the dot." "And they shall sip cocktails together, and they shall plough into a steak together, and they shall quaff wine together." "And with any luck, they'll get to make merry together." "Fallon, Adam." "Well, isn't this wonderful?" "I'm so happy that you two have finally met." "Well, and what do you think of your good-looking brother?" "Brother?" "What?" "Didn't you know that Fallon was your sister?" "We" "We just met a little while ago." "Well, I'm sure that you've both got a lot to talk about, so I'll leave you alone." "And, Fallon, the news that I've got from New York can wait." "I'll see you later." "My brother?" "Oh, my God." ""Fallon."" "It is a beautiful name." "Oh, my God, no." "He's not my brother." "I've met him." "He can't be." "Why not, Fallon?" "What makes you so-?" "I'm not talking to you." "I'm talking to my father." " Fallon, take it" " I'm not talking to you either." "That man is not my flesh and blood." " He's not yours." " Krystle began to ask you a question before you were so rude to her." "I'll ask it for her." "Now, what makes you so sure about him?" "Do you really believe he could be your son?" "Well, I've had my doubts, but, yes." " Yes, I am beginning to believe it." " But he can't be." "Why can't anybody here understand that?" "Now just a minute, young lady." "Why are you so angry?" "What do you know about him?" "I just know." "If you don't believe it, then I'm getting out of here." "Now hold on a minute." "I want you to listen to me." "I owe it to myself, and to his mother, to at least try to get to know the boy." "Now, if I have fences to mend with him, I'll mend them." "And then we'll take it from there, all right?" "You'll go on from there." "I never wanna see him again." "Fallon?" " Hello, Fallon?" " Goodbye, Michael." "You're gonna have to get used to it, you know." "It is Adam from now on." "Let go of me." "Hey, what are you so riled up about?" "Another couple of hours, I could have ended up in bed with my sister." "In some parts of the world, they kill people for that." "Look, let's get one thing straight." "We were both caught in a situation we didn't know anything about." "Neither one of us knew who the other was." "I'm not so sure about that." "How do I know that all the time the would-be Adam Carrington was here, he never even heard my name?" "I didn't." "You got to my father and you got to my mother." "But somehow, just somehow, you never even tried to get to me." " Except for..." " Except what?" "Physically?" "Oh, come on, Fallon." "You can't believe that I knew who you were and still made a play for you." "That's right." "Because I can't believe any of this." "I mean, it's all academic really, anyway, isn't it?" "Because you're not my brother, you just claim to be my brother." "I really am Adam Carrington." "Now, be honest and admit to yourself you don't wanna know the truth about me because you have certain feelings for me." " Feelings you don't understand." " Feelings for you." "What the hell are you talking about?" "What makes you think you were anything more than a diversion for me?" "Do you really think I would have gone to bed with you?" "Yes, I do." "As far as I'm concerned, I only have one brother and his name is Steven." "I love him because he's straightforward and honest." "He doesn't go around doing numbers on people." "He's good and he's decent." "Steven." "I've heard about Steven." " What do you think of it?" " Mother, it is sumptuous." "Just a little bigger than my room in Montana." "By about a thousand square feet." "Well, of course, there's room service here." "In fact, anything you want, whenever you want." "But first, I want you to have that." "Go on." "Open it." "It's a welcome-home gift, darling." "I planned on giving them to you when you were a baby and I thought it would be a really good way to celebrate your new life here." "Our new life, together." "Thank you." "Right now I'd like you to send for some of your things from Billings, is it?" "Yes." "I'm sure you've got some books and tapes and records and things that you'd like to have here, haven't you?" "And then tomorrow..." "Tomorrow, we'll go shopping for a whole new wardrobe for you." "We'll buy shirts and sweaters and trousers." "Anything you want." " Mother, I haven't unpacked yet." " Well, there's plenty of time for that." "I'm not sure that I'm going to unpack and stay here." "You mean, in this apartment?" "I mean in Denver." "I'm thinking about going back home." "Why?" "Why, Adam?" "I have a good life there." "A good law practise, good friends." "Besides, what do you really care about me?" "What do I care about you?" "You're my son." "I love you." "That doesn't answer certain questions." "What questions?" "Why did you stop looking for me?" "We tried." "We tried so hard," "Blake and I and a team of detectives." "Tried all the time to find you." "But you gave up." " Eventually, we had to." " Why?" "Because somebody said, "The kid must be dead, so forget it"?" "Tell me, who was it who gave the final edict to forget it?" " Blake?" " No." "Blake was as shattered and heartbroken as I was." "Your loss changed everything between us." "Our lives were never the same again." "And that's the truth?" " The honest truth?" " Yes." "It's the truth." "Sometimes I wonder if anybody in this noble family of mine can ever be honest." "I am, Adam." "I am." "Oh, please stay." "You're my son." "We can have the most wonderful life together." "I need you." "My husband's dead, Fallon doesn't need me, and Blake certainly doesn't need me." "Steven..." "Well, God knows where he is, but he's proven how little he cares about me." "You're all I have now." "I don't know." "Adam, what's there to go back to?" "Your friends?" "You can find all the friends you want here in Denver." "You only have one mother." "A very powerful mother who needs you." "And you need her." "Hello?" "Yes." "Yes, I'll tell him." "That was Blake's secretary." "He'd like to see you at his office." "Yes, Marcia, I'm expecting Adam." "Please send him in." "I'm glad you could come." "It's important to me that you called." "Come in." "I guess Fallon's told you that she and I have already met." "Yes, yes, she did." "Nice girl, very bright." "Very pretty." " Won't you sit down?" " Thank you." "Can I get you something to drink?" "Yes, it occurs to me that I've asked you that question before." "Yes, the other day." "That was a very uncomfortable time for me." " Well, it wasn't for me." " Oh, wasn't it?" "No." "I walked in here, I didn't have one problem." "I knew you were my father." "You were the one with the problem." "Well, that's very frank." "I'll be equally frank." "I'm still a little uncomfortable." "I've asked you to come here to talk about you, your future." "How if you'd like to join my company, there's room, good room, for an enterprising young lawyer." "Who'd start at the bottom." "Well, that's the only way to learn the business, any business." "And who'll work his way up in that business." "Yes." "What do you think?" "Well, I have to say thank you, of course." "Is that a yes?" "I'm afraid it's a no." "I also have to say that I just got a better offer." "You have?" "Where?" "A company you may have heard about." "Colbyco." "I'd like to have a lot more flowers down there." "Maybe get some terra cotta and white pots, large, and put them all the way down on that railing there, and between the tennis courts there." "No, don't put them between the tennis courts." "That wouldn't be a good idea." "Well, I'm glad that you're really enjoying your work, Fallon." "Thank you, George." "Yeah, I am." "I haven't seen you since you met Adam." " How did you two hit it off?" " He didn't tell you?" "No." "He just said that you were very lovely." "I'm very busy, Mother." "You've done a wonderful job on the tennis courts, darling." " Have you hired a pro yet?" " No, I'm still looking." "Well, let me know when you find one and I'll be a regular customer." "Since when are you so interested in outdoor sports, Mother?" "Ever since I was 4, when I won the British National Potato Sack Race." "Fallon, I want to ask you something about Adam." "I'd rather not talk about him." "Because you're too busy?" " Yes, okay?" " No." "No, it's not okay." "I think there's something more." "It's not because he's stupid or ill-mannered or anything like that." "It's something sibling, isn't it?" "Do you feel that he's going to usurp your very special place with Blake?" "Because you shouldn't worry about that." "He's his mother's son." "Oh, you won't hear any argument about that from me." "Fallon, what is it that you're not telling me about him?" "Mother, will you please go run your new empire and leave me to run my hotel?" "All right." "I'm off to the airport now." "Well, aren't you curious about where I'm going?" "Not really." "Well, you should be." "Darling, I'm leaving." "I'll phone you from the office later." "All right." " Blake." " Yes?" "You know, you still haven't invited the boy to our home." "Yes, I know." "Are you trying to tell me that I'm dragging my feet on this one?" "Yes." "And that's not like you." "What is it?" "Is it because he's working for Alexis now?" " Yes, partly." " What's the other part?" "Is it Adam himself?" "Adam." "You can say that name so easily." "And you can't." "What are you thinking, Blake?" "What do you feel in your heart for him, right now, at this very moment?" "I feel I still have some doubts." "I don't know, maybe" "Maybe Fallon's instincts are right about him." "Forget about Fallon." "What do you think?" "Why don't you invite him over for dinner?" "Tonight?" "Get to know him." "We've had hundreds of strangers in this house." "This one could be your son." "Am I wrong about that?" "No." "No, you're right." "And I'll admit that." "How did I ever manage to get along without you?" " You must be...?" " Adam." " Jeff Colby, Fallon's husband." " Pleasure to meet you, Jeff." " Where's Alexis?" " In New York." "Why?" "Well, I was in Louisiana on business and I got a call from her." "She said she wanted to meet with me when I got back." "Some red tape about my uncle's estate." "And you just flew in." "You've got to be ready for a drink." "Anything special?" "Yeah, let me have a bourbon with a splash of water." "I phoned the house when I got into the airport." " I guess we're having dinner tonight." " That's right." "Well, I'm looking forward to it." " You sound as if you really mean that." " Well, I do." "Then, unlike your wife, you're not in the enemy camp." "Fallon's Fallon." "She'll come around." " I hope so." "Cheers." " Cheers." "You know, I see a lot of your mother in you." "Now, is that good or bad, Jeff?" "I understand there are people who really don't like her." "And yet you were very supportive of her when your uncle died." "I tried to be." "So you were in Louisiana." "What's happening down there?" "Well, I was looking over some offshore oil leases." "I guess you don't know this yet, but I'm working for Colbyco now with my mother." "No, I didn't know that." " Good luck." " Thank you." "Yeah, I think we're negotiating for leases down there too." "Near the Lafitte sector?" "Is that where you were scouting?" "Around there." "Well, then maybe you could help out a novice such as myself and give me your evaluation of the general area." "Oh, you gotta be joking." "No, I love a good joke, Jeff." "But no, I'm not joking." "Well, those reports happen to be property of Blake Carrington." "And I don't know whether you know it or not, but I happen to work for Denver-Carrington." "Oh, sure." "And I also know that you own half of Colbyco, so, what's the harm?" "We're just keeping it in the family." "I have to be going." " Thanks for the drink." " My pleasure." "And I'll see you tonight at dinner?" "If I can make it." "I have some things to look over." "Sure." "Well, try to make it." "I'm gonna need somebody there from a friendly camp." "Do you like the duck, Adam?" "Yes, it's good." "Very good, thank you." "It's too bad Fallon couldn't be here." "Yes, she's busy at work." "And Jeff." "I guess something came up." "Something sudden." "He called." "He said he was sorry to miss dinner." " Would you like some more wine?" " No, thank you, Krystle." "I'm not used to it." "You see, Montana..." "Well, Montana is more beer country." "Tell us about Montana." "Well, why don't you tell me about it?" "I mean, you were up there, checking me out, weren't you?" "Yes." "Yes, as a matter of fact, we were." "Did Dr. Edwards phone you about us?" "No." "A friend of mine did." "It's a small town." "People hear about everything." "And she thought it was kind of strange." "I mean, why I wasn't being taken into the family on what proof I had." "It's not quite that simple." "Oh, I know." "I know." "How did Oscar Wilde put it?" ""l can't believe anything unless it's incredible."" "Something like that." "He was gay, wasn't he?" "I wouldn't know." "We don't have too many of them in Montana." "But I guess you saw that for yourself." " No, I didn't." "I wasn't looking." " Would you have to?" "You should be able to spot them easily, what with my bother, Steven." "I'd" "I'd rather not talk about that right now, if you don't mind." "Why not?" "You want to know about me and my background." "Now I wanna know more about this family." "That is why we're all gathered here tonight, isn't it?" "For each of us to learn more about the other?" "We weren't spying on you in Billings, Adam." "What were you doing, then?" "Well, you said it yourself a minute ago." "I was checking you out." " Now, if you resent that" " I do resent that." "Then why the hell did you come here tonight?" "To tell you how much I resent it." "Invading my name." "My names." "Michael Torrance who was." "Adam Carrington who is." "Thank you for the dinner." "And don't worry about dessert." "I'll have that at home." "You've no idea how anxious I've been to meet you, my dear friend Krystle's first husband." "She's in trouble and she needs you, Mark Jennings."
