Evangeline:「Come here often ? Or just when you get good and pissed off ?」
Cristian:「Trolling for clients ?」
Evangeline:「Former ones . I went by your studio , and when you were n't there , I thought I might find you here .」
Cristian:「Good guess .」
Evangeline:「You ok ?」
Cristian:「You win cases asking questions like that ?」
Evangeline:「All right , you know , I 'm not up for a sparring match of any kind , so I 'll just talk to you at another time .」
Cristian:「Evangeline , hold on a second . Look , I 'm sorry . It 's just been -- well , it 's morning and it already sucks .」
Evangeline:「Yeah . Tell me about it .」
Cristian:「What happened to you ?」
Evangeline:「Other than watching a client 's life slip through my fingers -- along with my career --」
Cristian:「That bad , huh ?」
Evangeline:「Worse . I -- I just lost it in front of the last person in this world I ever want to see me vulnerable again . I totally -- I totally broke down in his arms , just in time for the other woman to come strolling in . Really , you should do me a favor -- skip the speed bag . Why do n't you just punch me in the face ?」
Cristian:「Natalie went to see John ?」
narration:[SCENE_BREAK]
John:「To tell you the truth , I do n't know what you ever saw in me , either . But it 's more about you seeing me with Evangeline , is n't it ?」
Natalie:「You were holding her in your arms .」
John:「Occasionally , that 's what friends do .」
Natalie:「You know , she laid my mother out in court . She made her talk about her D.I.D. -- which is her worst nightmare -- in front of everyone . Now she 's going to be the topic of the gossip rags . I mean , how would you feel if somebody did that -- wait , I 'm sorry . Forget that I asked , because you do n't talk about anything that has to do with you , not even to a shrink .」
John:「We 're not talking about me here .」
Natalie:「I just ca n't understand how you could be friends with her after she did this .」
John:「It 's her job . She does n't feel good about it .」
Natalie:「Well , that obviously did n't stop her , did it ? What she did to my mother was horrible . I told her so .」
John:「Ok . I 'm not going to take sides .」
Natalie:「Well , you 're going to have to . Ca n't ride the fence on this one . If you 're going to take sides with Evangeline , you 're against me . Which is it ?」
John:「It 's not a contest , Natalie .」


Natalie:「I guess that 's my answer .」
John:「Hey , what the hell do you want from me , huh ?」
Natalie:「Nothing . I do n't even want to talk to you .」
John:「You know something ? I could n't have said it any better . If that 's what you want , you got it . We 're done talking .」

Adriana:「So , how does it look ?」
Michael Scott:「It 's not too bad .」
Rex:「See ?」
Michael Scott:「But you will need stitches .」
Adriana:「See ?」
Rex:「Am I going to need plastic surgery ? Oh , what , you think it 's so funny ? Why do n't you have him stitch you up ?」
Marcie:「I do n't need stitches .」
Michael Scott:「Excuse me . I wo n't be stitching anybody up . You 'll have to use the E.R. Like everybody else .」
Adriana:「Rex wo n't go there .」
Marcie:「Why wo n't you go to the E.R. ?」
Rex:「I do n't want some resident doing it .」
Michael Scott:「I am a resident . At least I was till last week .」
Rex:「All right , but now you 're a full - on doctor ? So if anybody 's going to do it --」
Michael Scott:「It wo n't be me . Do you know how long I 've been waiting for this time off ?」
Adriana:「Oh , come on . How long can a few stitches take ?」
Michael Scott:「Long enough for me to lose my reservations at The Palace .」
Marcie:「Michael , it 's ok . We can go someplace else .」
Michael Scott:「" We ? " This means you 'll be accompanying me ?」
Marcie:「Sure , why not ? I 'm free . Ok .」
Rex:「Well , let 's let these two kids get back together while I tape this thing up , huh ?」
Adriana:「Please , Dr. Mc Bain ? Look , if you do n't do it , he wo n't get it done .」
Michael Scott:「If Rex does n't care , then I do n't care , at least not as much as you seem to .」
Rex:「Yeah , what about that , duchess ?」
Adriana:「I am doing this for you whether you appreciate it or not . Look , if you do this , Rex will owe you big - time .」
Rex:「Whoa , whoa , wait a minute , I 'm not --」
Marcie:「No , no , no , no , no , you can not pass up that opportunity .」
Adriana:「Mm - hmm .」
Michael Scott:「You 'll wait ?」
Marcie:「Wait ? Oh , I 'm watching .」
Rex:「Oh , you are one sick cookie , Walsh .」

Evangeline:「Natalie and John work together . They 're going to see each other .」
Cristian:「So it was at the police station , not his house ?」
Evangeline:「His office , if that makes you feel better .」
Cristian:「So , why 'd you want to see me , anyway ?」
Evangeline:「I actually thought I 'd feel better if I saw one of my successes .」
Cristian:「Is that what you call me ?」
Evangeline:「Last month this time , you were in prison doing life for a crime that was n't your fault .」
Cristian:「Pulled one out of your hat , I 'll give you that .」
Evangeline:「Well , you did n't deserve to be in there .」
Cristian:「Not a hell of a lot easier out here . I ca n't even get a job in this dump .」
Evangeline:「You know so many people , your mom owns a diner .」
Cristian:「Yeah , I 'm not taking money from my mother . And who else am I going to ask for a job ? The Buchanan 's ? No , thanks . I 'm not about to take handouts from my brother , either .」
Evangeline:「Well , consider me your first character reference .」
Cristian:「What 's this ?」
Evangeline:「It 's a letter of recommendation . I still have some pull in this community , even if I do blow the Todd Manning trial .」
Cristian:「What is there to blow ? I mean , everyone expects you to lose , but if you win -- miracle .」
Evangeli:「Yeah , a miracle . That 's what it 's going to take .」
Cristian:「Well , if anybody can do it , you can .」
Evangeline:「Thanks . I appreciate that .」
Cristian:「You got to believe .」
Evangeline:「You , too . You have so much to fight for -- all that family that loves you and friends , and -- god , you have so much talent . You 're a brilliant painter .」
Cristian:「I do n't know about that anymore .」
Evangeline:「What , you 're blocked ?」

Natalie:「What is up with you ?」
John:「What 's up with me ? What 's up with you ?」
Natalie:「Ok . I did , I came on a little strong , but you did n't have to shut me down like that .」
John:「Ca n't have it both ways , right ?」


Natalie:「Like you 're one to talk .」
John:「Hey -- you know something ? I did n't do anything wrong here . I was just being a friend .」
Natalie:「A friend who 's trying to destroy my family .」
John:「Yeah , that 's right , Natalie . Everybody 's out to get you -- Evangeline , me , Cristian . Like we got nothing better to do . Hey , here 's a news flash for you -- everybody 's trying to get through the day the best they can . None of it is intended to be a personal assault on you .」
Natalie:「You do n't mean all that .」
John:「I do . I do , and you know what ? I 'm tired . I 'm tired of a lot of things . As a matter of fact , I 'm done with this .」
narration:[SCENE_BREAK]
Nash:「Just hear me out . That 's all I 'm asking .」
Viki:「Nash , I think it would be best if you left .」
Clint:「Now , wait a minute . I think we should let him talk .」
Nash:「Thank you . I know my timing is screwed up . But after you left the hospital , I took a look at the picture of that baby inside you and I realized that if I had even a prayer of being a decent father , then I got to put my past behind me . And I need you to forgive me , because if you can do that , then I have a chance at a fresh start at being a better person , at being a good dad -- like your dad . Tess , I want you back in my life . And if that means telling you what happened with Claudia Reston , then I 'll do it -- if you 'll let me .」
Tess:「Fine . Start from the beginning , and do n't even think about leaving anything out .」

Adriana:「Does it hurt a lot ?」
Rex:「Why , you not enjoying it enough ?」
Marcie:「You know we feel your pain .」
Rex:「Yeah , I can tell .」
Adriana:「Oh , just suck it up .」
Michael Scott:「There . I 'm done . Now your brains will stay in your head , at least until the next guy whacks you in it .」
Rex:「Thanks for the favor .」
Michael Scott:「Well , you know , had you come in on your own , I would 've thrown you out on your ass , but your girlfriend is very persuasive . So --」
Marcie:「So --」
Michael Scott:「Finally .」
Marcie:「Yes , finally . Let 's go .」
Michael Scott:「Let 's go .」
Marcie:「Ooh , you know , if you 're a really good boy , the nurse will give you a lollipop .」
Michael Scott:「I 'm hungry .」
Marcie:「Ok , I 'm coming .」


Rex:「It was n't that funny . Adrian actually , it kind of was . Do n't touch it .
 How does it look ?」
Adriana:「Kind of gross .」
Rex:「I thought that was the whole point of getting stitches -- so that it would n't look gross .」
Adriana:「But when it heals , it 'll look very tough , just like you wanted it to .」
Rex:「I think the word I used was " sexy . " Well , we better wash up . We 're in a major germ vortex here .」
Adriana:「You were very brave when Michael was sewing you up .」
Rex:「Is that why you made fun of me ?」
Adriana:「Sorry . It was out of line .」
Rex:「Like Michael calling you my girlfriend . Talk about way off , huh ?」
Adriana:「And I did n't even correct him .」
Rex:「Go figure .」
Adriana:「Yeah , go figure , because I really hate you for what you did .」
Rex:「Yeah , I can tell .」
Adriana:「I do . I really hate you .」

John:「You still here ?」
Natalie:「You mean it ? You 're done with me ?」
John:「Is n't that what you want ?」
Natalie:「I do n't know what I want . But I do n't want you screwing up your life .」
John:「If you 're trying to help , do n't , I do n't need it .」
Natalie:「Oh , that 's right , because you do n't need any help from anybody . I mean , this is your job , Mc Bain to the rescue . I mean , that 's what our relationship was all about , right ?」
John:「Oh , we 're back to this , are we ?」
Natalie:「Mm - hmm . I mean , that is why we got together , right ? My whole life is just one big search - and - rescue mission for you .」
John:「Is that what you really think ?」
Natalie:「I hate to say it , but I think Evangeline 's right about you .」
narration:[SCENE_BREAK]
Evangeline:「Look , Cristian , I am not an artist by any stretch of the imagination , but I have a pretty good idea of what you 're going through .」
Cristian:「Yeah , well , I 'm not talking job burnout here .」
Evangeline:「We 're talking about passion for what you do , whatever it is . It 's that fire that rages in your belly , and when it goes out , it -- look , it 's understandable after what you 've been through .」
Cristian:「But I never stopped thinking about painting and I started again in Statesville . Now I try and it all looks like garbage .」


Evangeline:「That 's because you 're confusing your love life with art . Love is n't always something you can create , but art is .」
narration:[SCENE_BREAK]
Antonio:「You know , I think -- I think we know everything we need to know about your relationship with Claudia Reston .」
Nash:「I 'm sure you do , Antonio , but Tess would like to hear more . You heard her .」
Viki:「Yeah , I -- I do n't really think we should make things any worse than they already are .」
Tess:「Will you stop talking about me like I 'm not even here ? Start talking , and then you can get your ass out of here .」
Nash:「I met Claudia Reston when I was out clubbing one night , upper east side . She was all lit up , in a real party mood . The next thing I knew , I was in the back of her limo drinking $ 300 bottles of champagne . That 's how she spent money -- like it did n't even matter , and you know what ? I figured , " hey , she wants to throw a little bit my way , who am I to say no ? "」
Tess:「So you hooked up with her for loads of sex and even more money -- is that it ?」
Nash:「Yeah , something like that . We only dated for about six months . It was nothing serious . I did n't even really like her most of the time . She was a spoiled little rich brat who needed some serious life lessons , and I needed the cash , so I figured , " you know what ? " I took her for a ride , a very long and expensive ride . I just -- I had no idea how much it would actually cost her .」
Tess:「Did you hit her ?」
Nash:「No . No , of course not . How could you even ask me that ?」
Tess:「Well , then what was the restraining order about , then ?」
Nash:「I did n't hit her , but what happened to her in the end was worse -- a lot worse .」

Marcie:「Thank you . Whoa !」
Michael Scott:「Sorry .」

narration:[ Marcie laughs ]
Michael Scott:「I miss your laugh .」
Marcie:「Well , there really has n't been a lot to laugh about . But things are looking up .」
Michael Scott:「Because of Hugh . Hugh Hughes . Creative parents .」
Marcie:「Actually , they are creative . I mean , they 're hippies . Hippies are all supposed to be creative , right ?」
Michael Scott:「They 're hippies ? You 're telling me you 've already met these people ?」
Marcie:「Michael , we 're friends .」
Michael Scott:「Yeah , I know we 're friends . You take every opportunity to remind me .」


Marcie:「I 'm talking about Hugh and me .」
Michael Scott:「Yeah , you and me .」
Marcie:「No . I 'm talking about Hugh --」
Michael Scott:「Hugh ?」
Marcie:「And me .」
narration:[ Marcie laughs ]
Michael Scott:「So you two are n't --」
Marcie:「No .」
Michael Scott:「No ?」
Marcie:「No . No , we 're not -- we 're not dating . I mean -- well , as far as I 'm concerned , we 're not dating . What --」
Michael Scott:「I do n't want to talk about Hugh anymore .」
Marcie:「Ok .」
Michael Scott:「You know , when I asked you to lunch -- it 's not exactly what I had in mind .」
Marcie:「Well , what did you have in mind ?」
Michael Scott:「Marcie , I -- I know things have changed for you , but I still love you . Nothing 's changed for me . Nothing .」

Adriana:「I 'm glad we got Michael to fix you .」
Rex:「Well , you did that , but thanks .」
Adriana:「I would 've done it for anyone I cared about .」
Rex:「I 'm sorry if I pushed you about Michael calling you my girlfriend . I know that 's over .」
Adriana:「Yeah , it is . But I was n't going to let you bleed all over the alley .」
Rex:「Yeah , I would n't want to mess it up any more than it already is .」
Adriana:「I should go .」
Rex:「It was nice bleeding with you .」
Adriana:「What happened between us in the car on New Year 's Eve , that meant something to me . And whatever happened next -- I just want you to know that night I felt more with you than I have ever felt with anyone else before .」
narration:[SCENE_BREAK]
Nash:「I do n't want you to think that what we have is anything like what I had with Claudia Reston .」
Tess:「Why ? Because she 's loaded and so am I ?」
Nash:「I did n't know that when I met you . Come on , you -- you stole my car , you stole my wallet . You were living on the streets when I took you in .」
Viki:「You were living on the streets ?」
Tess:「Not for that long . So what happened with this Claudia person ?」
Nash:「Well , you know about my dream -- the vineyard , the winery , California . The Restons are a wine family . They go back generations . I learned a lot from her father about how the business works and --」
Tess:「And what antique French oak barrels to buy ?」


Nash:「Yeah . I 'm sorry I -- I thought that I could get what I wanted with Claudia 's money . She spent it like it did n't mean anything to her . I did n't think that it would mean anything to her to give it to me .」
Antonio:「That justifies what you did ?」
Nash:「It does n't justify anything . I 'm trying to explain it . I was young . I was too stupid . I was n't thinking about Claudia . I was thinking about myself and what I could get out of it .」
Tess:「That does n't change what you did .」
Antonio:「Or what you did to that girl , so why do n't you tell Tess that ?」
Nash:「I 'm trying to , thank you !」
Clint:「Let 's all just let him finish .」
Viki:「Well , so far , what you did sounds absolutely reprehensible .」
Nash:「Yes , it was reprehensible . I want you to know that I was a different person before . I had no idea what it meant to love somebody so badly that it would kill you if you could n't be with them anymore .」
Tess:「Was Claudia in love with you ?」
Nash:「Yeah , she was . But I did n't -- I did n't realize it until it was too late . I never told her that I loved her . It was just fun . It was a constant party . She just -- I kept asking her for money and she kept giving it to me . It was too easy . Until her father found out , and then he cut me off , so I dumped her . I had no idea that she would take it so badly .」
Tess:「What did she do ?」
Nash:「She downed a bottle of pills . She did n't even do it somewhere where someone would find her . She did n't do it for attention . She wanted to die .」
Tess:「Did she ?」
Nash:「No . Uh -- somebody founder by accident . They got her to the hospital on time . But she was never the same again .」
Viki:「In what way was she never the same ?」
Nash:「She had a nervous breakdown . She spent some time in the hospital . They gave her pills to calm her down . They gave her pills to wake her up . They gave her pills , pills , pills for everything . I mean , she always liked drugs . But she was hooked . Her father figured it out , put her into rehab , and that 's where she 's been ever since .」
Antonio:「So you ruined this woman 's life .」
Nash:「Yes , I ruined the woman 's life . And her family has been careful to remind me of the fact that they know it ever since .」
Tess:「Are they the ones that came to beat you up ?」
Nash:「Yes .」
Tess:「Why did n't you just tell me that ?」
Nash:「I did n't want it to look bad .」
Tess:「Huh .」


Nash:「I did n't want it to look like I was doing the same thing to you , and I 'm not . I swear . I hated what I did . I hated myself for doing it . But then I met you . It was like the universe was giving me a second chance . I never loved Claudia . I never told her that I loved her . It 's just -- it got out of control .
 I ca n't expect you to take me back . I ca n't expect you to forgive me . But if you will , Tess , I swear to you I will never hurt you . I will love you and I will take care of you and I will take care of that baby forever . I swear it . If you 'll let me .」

Cristian:「I do n't know about this love and art stuff .」
Evangeline:「Yes , you do . It 's why you ca n't paint .」
Cristian:「I ca n't even draw a stick figure . I ought to be able to do that at least .」
Evangeline:「Ok , play the tortured artist for the rest of your life .」
Cristian:「Do n't give me that crap .」
Evangeline:「Do n't you give me your crap . Who do you think you are ? Because I can tell you what you 're not , and that 's weak . What you survived would 've killed anybody else , and if you can survive that , you can paint a picture .」
Cristian:「Oh , you think it 's that easy ? Why do n't you go do it ?」
Evangeline:「I do n't have your talent .」
Cristian:「Well , it looks like I do n't , either .」
Evangeline:「You do n't lose something like that just because you get your heart broken , Cristian . You got to just sit down and tough it out . Maybe the first couple of pieces wo n't be as good , but you keep it up , and before you know it you 'll be creating what you love .」
Cristian:「I do n't love it . Not like I love Natalie .」
Evangeline:「You were a brilliant artist before you ever met Natalie .」
Cristian:「I was better once I did . You know , I gave up on painting a long time ago . I had this hand injury . But Natalie made me try again . She helped me realize that I could express myself differently , that -- that I could change and still be good , maybe even better .」
Evangeline:「That 's what I 'm telling you right now .」
Cristian:「Natalie made me the best I ever was .」
Evangeline:「No , she did n't . Natalie did n't " make you " anything . It 's what she saw in you . It 's what she fell in love with . It -- it was already there , and it 's still there .」
Cristian:「Why do you care so much ?」


Evangeline:「What , you think I got you out of prison because you were innocent ? No , I -- I just could n't stand to see such a life wasted . But if you do n't care , then --」
Cristian:「She was the reason I fought to get out . Now I 'm out and she 's gone . I lost her . I 'm lost , too .」

John:「Believe what you want . You do anyway , no matter what I say .」
Natalie:「John , you do n't even realize you 're doing it . I mean , before me , there was Caitlin . I 'm sure before Caitlin there was somebody else .」
John:「I 'm not talking about that with you .」
Natalie:「Of course not , because you do n't want to talk about anything that has to do with you and shows who you really are . That 's why it did n't work out with Evangeline -- she did n't need you . And you know what ? I do n't need any more , either .」
John:「Yeah ? Then what the hell are you doing here , huh ? What are you doing here ?」
Natalie:「You want me to go ?」
John:「It 's what you want . I 've been upfront with you all along .」
Natalie:「" Upfront ? " Are you -- are you kidding me ? Our whole -- our whole relationship has been based on lies . You 've lied to me since the day we met -- besides the whole thing with Cristian . I mean , come on , Mr. F.B.I. agent . I mean , back then I was just a job to you . I wish to god sometimes that it just stayed that way .」

Marcie:「Stuff between us , but I just -- you know , I never thought you 'd just come right out and say it .」
Michael Scott:「Neither did I. It just sort of popped out .」
Marcie:「So then -- then you did n't mean it ?」
Michael Scott:「No , I meant it , and I 'm never going to stop meaning it . Oh , great . I did it , did n't I ? I am so sorry . You know , I did n't want to pressure you or make you feel guilty . You know , the last thing that I wanted to do was anything like that . I never want to make you upset , you know , and here I am upsetting you , so I should probably just shut up .」

R.J.:「I 'm filing papers . Turns out Keri started a trust fund for Jamie 's education .」
Evangeline:「So young ?」
R.J.:「Yeah , well , I was n't around to contribute , and I guess Keri had to work two jobs all the way through college , and that 's something she wanted to make sure her daughter never had to do .」
Evangeline:「I 'm so sorry she never had a chance to see that through .」
R.J.:「Yeah . Well , I will . I 'm here now . Least I can do is make sure that Jamie never forgets her mother .」

Starr:「Mm - hmm .」
Blair Waldorf:「Now , as soon as you finish that , I want you to head upstairs and -- do n't spill it -- and get something on a little nice before you see the judge , ok ?」
Starr:「Maybe I 'm not in trouble . Maybe she 's just heard my side of the story and she knows that it 's true .」
Dorian:「Starr , what you did was very serious , and you 're going to have to face the consequences .」
Starr:「I did n't mean for Matthew to be kidnapped .」
Blair Waldorf:「I know , sweetheart , and I know that you 're upset .」
Starr:「You do n't know everything , ok ?」
Dorian:「You know , if you talk that way in front of the judge --」
Blair Waldorf:「Dorian , just stop , please .」
Starr:「Why wo n't you just let Dad go ?」
Blair Waldorf:「You know what , Starr ? If I decide to drop the charges , it wo n't be because you told me to ! It 'll be because I do what is right . Now , I 'm going to go upstairs and I 'm going to get ready for court .」

Matthew:「I guess so .」

Matthew:「Ok .」
Nora:「Do you remember when we talked about road signs ?」

Matthew:「Did you ?」


Troy:「I do n't know . But I said I did .」
Matthew:「Why ?」
Troy:「I do n't know . I do n't know , Matthew , I got confused . I just -- I do n't know , I ca n't remember . But I should remember , but I do n't know why I do n't remember ! Why ca n't I remember , Matthew ?」

Asa:「Where the hell are they ?」
Jessica:「They 're right here . Grandpa , Antonio and I are going to be together for a long time , maybe forever .」
Asa:「Did he ask you to marry him ?」
Jessica:「Gramps , that 's between Antonio and me . And if you ca n't deal with this , I do n't know if I can deal with you . That 's how important this is to me .」
Asa:「Hold it . I 'm sorry , Jessie . I was just thinking of Matthew and Bo , Kevin . Nigel just quit me . Remember the time I bought you a prom dress ?」
Jessica:「Yeah , I 'll never forget it .」
Asa:「Oh , Jessie . I just do n't want you saddled with somebody else 's baby .」

Viki:「The thing is that there are gray areas in your story , and that 's what worries me .」
Todd:「It 's not gray to me .」
Viki:「Ok , look , I 'm on your side , Todd , and I know how hard you have fought to get past what you did to Marty Saybrooke .」


Todd:「I ca n't change my past . I can change my face , I can change my name , but no matter what I 'm a rapist , and I 'm the son of Victor Lord .」

Judge:「Starr Manning 's day in court ! Bring the witness !」
Starr:「Todd Manning -- innocent or guilty ? Innocent ! He did n't do it !」
Dorian:「Do n't listen to her ! That animal is guilty !」
Starr:「Let me talk !」
Judge:「Gag order !」
Starr:「My dad loves my mom more than anything ! He tells lies sometimes , but only because he wants us to be a family again . This is a family court , right ? The only thing my dad did wrong was making my mom fall in love with him when she thought he was somebody else ! The only thing he 's guilty of is love ! And if that 's a bad thing , put me in prison , too ! Because if love is a crime , we should all be in jail !」
Judge:「Has the jury reached a verdict ?」
Blair Waldorf:「Not guilty , Your Honor .」

Bo:「Does it have a locator chip ?」
John:「Yeah , but he got off the phone before we could get an exact location .」
Bo:「All right , Matthew said 17 North .」
John:「Yeah , and that would be consistent with what the signal gave us . We 've narrowed it down to this area right here . I 'll call weather service to see if we could get some information about snowfall .」
Bo:「Yeah . Matthew did good , huh ?」
John:「Oh , he did real good . We 're bringing him home , Bo .」
Bo:「Yeah .」
Stephen:「It 's not likely that Troy is going to hurt Matthew .」
Nora:「Likely ?」
Stephen:「No , no . His hostility is aimed at women , not children .」
Nora:「By " women , " do you mean me ?」
Stephen:「No , no . His hostility predates you , although he certainly is fixated on your rejection of him .」
Nora:「What if he takes that out on Matthew ?」
Stephen:「Matthew is his direct connection to you . But also , the most positive feelings he has for you -- that 's going to keep him safe . He 's already reached out once . That 's a very good sign he 's going to do it again .」
Nora:「He is ? When ? When is he going to do that ?」
Stephen:「Soon . Like it or not , you are his lifeline . What 's that ?」
Nora:「Scout badge . His awards dinner was last night . He was supposed to go . He was so excited . He did n't make it , so his troop leader came by and dropped it off .」
Stephen:「Really ?」
Nora:「Mm - hmm .」
Stephen:「You know , my brother was a -- he was a scout .」
Nora:「Was he ?」
Stephen:「Yes , yes . He was a scout and he had all those badges . I never knew what any of them meant , but -- but I 'm sure you do . Tell me , what 's that one about ?」
Nora:「Uh -- orienteering .」
Stephen:「Orienteering ?」
Nora:「Yes . He 's very good at it , actually -- you know , maps and globes and -- taught himself to read a compass . I do n't think I could 've done that . He could find the longitude and latitude of any point on this earth . It 's nice because he 'll never be lost .」

Troy:「Yeah . Your mom always hated to cook .」
Matthew:「And we made those pictures after , and we hung them up in the shower to dry ?」
Troy:「Yeah , I remember . Those were good times , Matthew .」
Matthew:「See , you remember . Will you take me home now ?」
Troy:「I would come and watch you play soccer . I was there when you got your trophy .」
Matthew:「Maybe you just remember good stuff .」
Troy:「No . No , because I remember your mom and I having a fight , and that was the worst thing that ever happened to me until now . Matthew , I did n't kill those women .」
Matthew:「My mom sounded real upset . Will you please take me home ?」
Troy:「I ca n't , Matthew . You 're the only leverage I have .」

Todd:「Nora must really hate me now .」
Evangeline:「She 's offering a deal . Right now the charge against you is rape . That 's a first - degree --」
Todd:「I did n't rape her !」
Evangeline:「It 's your word against Blair 's , and depending on who the jury believes , you could be looking at 20 years . But the state is willing to let you plead guilty to sexual assault .」
Todd:「Assault ?」
Evangeline:「You 'd do a minimum of five years , 10 max .」
Todd:「Are you saying you ca n't win this case ?」
Evangeline:「No . But it 's not looking good .」

Blair Waldorf:「Thank you , Viki .」


Viki:「Right . Just came from seeing Todd .」
Starr:「You did ? Are they being mean on him in jail ?」
Viki:「No , honey , they 're not . He is absolutely fine , he misses you , and he is really , really upset about what happened yesterday .」
Starr:「He knows why I did it .」
Viki:「Yes , but you scared him half to death .」
Starr:「Did he tell you he was innocent ?」
Viki:「I 'd actually like to speak to your mother about that , if I may , ok ?」
Dorian:「There is nothing to say .」
Starr:「I have to go to the bathroom bad .」
Dorian:「Todd did unspeakable things to Blair , and for you to suggest otherwise is just plain insulting .」
Blair Waldorf:「Dorian , please , just go with Starr . I hate what this is doing to my daughter . But what Todd did to me -- I ca n't let that go , Viki .」

R.J.:「Yeah . Yeah , she is . You know , I 'm surprised you can see it , though . I mean , she 's no relation .」
Jessica:「R.J. , we just , you know , thought that she could use all the love that she can get .」
R.J.:「Well , I wonder how Keri would feel about you Buchanans trying to buy her baby .」
Asa:「How about grateful , R.J. , huh ? And she 'd be very happy to have Jessica watching out for her .」
R.J.:「I thought I left Jamie with Antonio this morning .」
Jessica:「Well , Antonio had to work , and I did n't have any classes and I thought I 'd give Carlotta a break . I hope that 's not a problem .」
R.J.:「As long as you had a good day . She looks like she did .」

R.J.:「Yeah . Come here , little one . Yeah .」

R.J.:「Look --」
Jessica:「Same as you .」
R.J.:「I just want Jamie to know where she comes from .」
Jessica:「What 's that supposed to mean ?」
R.J.:「I think she needs to spend time around people who need to work for a living .」
Jessica:「Antonio and I work very hard at what we do , R.J. , and I really love her . I treat her like she 's my own .」

Todd:「I did n't rape Blair ! We had sex -- it was intense . Maybe it was a little rough , but she wanted it that way .」


Evangeline:「She what ? Are you serious ? I 'm warning you , do n't you let anyone else ever hear you say that . Now , how did she get the bruises ?」
Todd:「Afterwards . She could n't handle what we had done . She ran off , I tried to reach for her , she tripped over something . She hit her head . That 's how she got the cut . It was an accident .」
Evangeline:「Unfortunately , you have no proof of that .」
Todd:「She 's mad at me for pretending to be Walker Laurence . She feels guilty because she slept with Kevin , and she 's got to do this thing . Otherwise she 'd have to admit that she still loves me .」
Evangeline:「I 'm warning you , Todd , they are going to rip you to pieces .」
Todd:「Whose side are you on ?」
Evangeline:「Yours . And I actually believe you 're telling the truth , but the truth does n't matter if you ca n't prove it .」
Todd:「Well , that 's on Nora . Are n't I supposed to be innocent until proven guilty ?」
Evangeline:「You know , I was looking over your record last night . You have a prior rape conviction . You threatened Nora 's life .」
Todd:「Is that admissible ?」
Evangeline:「Only if I put you on the stand , and I 'm not putting you on the stand because your record goes on for pages , and as soon as you open your mouth it 's all in play .」
Todd:「Oh , I think I can -- I can prove to a jury that I still love Blair . And why would I rape her ?」
Evangeline:「Because she had sex with Kevin Buchanan and she said she loved it .」
Todd:「Shut up !」
Evangeline:「She said it to you the night that you --」
Todd:「Quit saying that !」
Evangeline:「Look , the prosecution is going to be saying that to you over and over and over again until you lash out , case closed .」
Todd:「Well , then I wo n't lose my cool .」
Evangeline:「One wrong word , and you lose the next 20 years of your life . By the time you get out of prison , Starr will be 30 .」
Todd:「All right !」
Evangeline:「Take the deal . It 's your best shot .」
Viki:「I know that Todd has done unspeakable things , and I know you feel betrayed -- you have every right to . He lied to you , ok ? But I also know he loves you more than anything else on this earth , and if he felt that he had hurt you -- especially in that way -- he would be destroyed . He swears that he 's innocent .」
Blair Waldorf:「Well , he 's lying .」


Viki:「The thing is , Blair , in the past whenever Todd has done anything that 's , you know , beyond the pale and been caught , you know how he behaves . He over explains , he sidesteps , he manipulates . He 's not doing any of that now . I mean , I 've never seen him this way .」
Blair Waldorf:「Well , he thought that he had changed . Now he knows he has n't .」
Viki:「He really thinks that what happened that night was consensual . He thought you were a willing participant .」
Blair Waldorf:「I was n't , Viki .」
Viki:「Did you actually ask him to stop ?」

Judge:「No . But if you do n't change your behavior , you could be sent to Juvenile Hall .」
Starr:「Is that some type of reform school ?」
Blair Waldorf:「Uh , Your Honor , my daughter -- she did n't mean to cause any trouble . See , her father and I are having some problems and she 's very upset .」
Judge:「I 've read the file . Take a seat . This is n't the first time you 've run away , is it ?」
Starr:「No , and I 'll do it again .」
Judge:「Well , if you do , the court can remove you from your mother 's custody and place you in a facility for delinquent minors . Do you understand ?」
Starr:「Yes , Your Honor . I just want to be with my dad .」


Judge:「Apparently . Frankly , I 'm astounded at your behavior . You engineered the escape of a dangerous prisoner , caused the kidnapping of a little boy named Matthew Rappaport , and endangered the lives of two officers of the law .」
Starr:「I 'm sorry .」
Judge:「I hope so . But you need to learn that there are serious consequences .」

Nora:「What the heck is he doing ? Why has n't he called ?」
Stephen:「My best guess ? He 's upping the ante . The more desperate you are , the more leverage he has .」
Nora:「Well , that does n't sound very crazy to me .」
Stephen:「No , no , no . He 's very , very smart . Plus , he knows and understands how you work .」
Nora:「Yeah , well , whatever Troy is doing , it 's working . I 'm calling him right now .
 Phone 's turned off .」

Nora:「Ok , how do you suggest I do that ?」
Stephen:「I think you should ask to see him .」

Stephen:「Go ahead , you have company .」
Nora:「Thank you . Hello , Starr .」
Blair Waldorf:「Go ahead , Starr .」


Starr:「I 'm really sorry about what happened to Matthew . I liked Dr. Troy . I saved him on the wheel and he was really nice to me . I did n't think that he was going to take Matthew away . I truly do n't think that he 's going to hurt Matthew . I feel really , really bad about what happened .」

Dorian:「Now -- now , do n't let Asa intimidate you , bully you . Tell her what happened .」
Blair Waldorf:「It can wait , Nora .」
Nora:「I am doing nothing but waiting . So what did Asa do ?」
Blair Waldorf:「Dorian 's right . He 's trying to pressure me into dropping the charges against Todd .」
Dorian:「Mm - hmm .」
Nora:「Why ?」
Dorian:「For his precious Kevin 's sake , of course .」


Blair Waldorf:「No , this is my fault . If I had n't pressed charges in the first place , then Matthew would -- would be safe . He would n't be in danger . None of this even would 've happened .」
Dorian:「Blair , that 's ridiculous ! You did n't make Starr run away , and Todd is the one who criminally attacked you .」
Nora:「That 's right . Now , she 's absolutely right . Starr will understand , she will . You -- you have to do this for yourself , and you have to show her that you have to do this .」
Blair Waldorf:「I am turning her against her own father .」
Nora:「Blair , if you drop the charges now , Todd will be free to rape again , and that would be a crime .」
Blair Waldorf:「I hate that he 's doing this to me !」
Nora:「I know . I get it , ok ? And when this is all over , when Matthew comes home , I promise you , I swear I will do everything I can to make sure that Todd never hurts another living soul for a long , long time .」

Starr:「No . Unless you take everything back that you said and get dad out of jail , I 'm never eating again .」
Blair Waldorf:「Starr , I really wish that I could change what happened , but I ca n't . Your daddy hurt me , and I can not let that happen again . And I hope someday when you 're older you will understand . But please , sweetheart , right now just let me help you .」

Viki:「I came to help you .」
Todd:「Well , it 's about damn time . Untie these ropes .」

Blair Waldorf:「No , I --」
Margaret:「And all I have --」
Blair Waldorf:「I do n't live like that , Margaret .」

Natalie:「So what kind of sins were you confessing ?」


Cristian:「Well , the whole point of confession is that it stays between you and the priest .」

Cristian:「Anything ?」
Natalie:「Yeah . Cris , babe , I know that you 've been through hell and I can really -- I can understand you not wanting to talk about it , but you can trust me . I promise I wo n't tell anyone .」
Cristian:「You worry too much .」
Natalie:「I know . I love you . Do n't you understand ? Cristian , I know that you 're hurting , ok ? I know because you have the headaches and the nightmares , but I know you are not telling me everything . There is something else so , please , Cris , I am begging you . Let me in .」

Michael Scott:「You just accused me of murder ! I 'm not going to calm down , all right ?」
John:「No one 's accusing you of anything , all right ? You 're not hearing me here . I know you did n't kill Tico Santi . That 's not what this is about .」
Michael Scott:「Well , thanks .」
John:「You 're welcome .」
Michael Scott:「So what about the glove ?」
John:「I do n't know . I 'm not going to let you get jammed up with this , all right , so I 'm not reporting it .」
Michael Scott:「You 're going to hide evidence ?」
John:「I 'm going to delay evidence . There 's no point in going to Bo about this until I figure out what it all means .」
Michael Scott:「You do n't have a choice .」
John:「I got lots of choices , Mike . Look , you 're already on probation for what happened to Tico Santi on your watch , all right ? The Hospital Board is not going to give you the benefit of the doubt on anything .」
Michael Scott:「You 're probably right .」
John:「So why give them an opportunity to come down on you again ? You worked too long , too hard for this to end over something stupid like this . I 'm not going to let it happen .」
Michael Scott:「Well , I 'm sorry , John , you 're not exactly in good standing with the D.A. yourself .」
John:「Do n't worry about me , Mike .」
Michael Scott:「No . No , I 'm sorry . There 's no way in hell that I 'm letting you take the fall for me . It 's just not going to happen , John , no .」

Ace is a Buchanan , and we have got to get him back .」
Duke:「Grandpa , I hate to contradict you , but Ace is not a Buchanan . Ok , he 's not even related to us .」
Kevin:「Oh , hold on , now . I have full custody of Ace . Legally , he is my son .」
Duke:「I 'm sorry , dad , but I do n't think you have the right to go after a child that 's not even yours .」
Asa:「This is not about right ! This is about family ! Now , whose side are you on ? Bo ?」
Bo:「I put out an A.P.B. for Babe Chandler , and that 's the extent of my involvement in all of this . I do n't think it 's up to me to say who Ace belongs with .」
Kevin:「Oh , now , come on , Bo . I would think that you , of all people , would understand this . I mean , Sam Rappaport kept you in the dark over Matthew for years .」
Bo:「Yeah , that 's right Kev , but now you 're doing the exact same thing . You 're trying to keep a child from his real father .」
Asa:「If you 're telling me you 're not taking the side of your family , then you damn well better leave !」
Bo:「What a coincidence , pa . I was thinking the same thing . Come on , Matthew . We 're out of here .」

Viki:「Oh , be careful , Todd . You know that Dorian is very sensitive on the subject of lunacy .」
Dorian:「Viki , stuff it !」
Viki:「Excuse me ?」
Dorian:「You have more crazy people inside that head of yours than the entire population of St. Ann 's .」
Todd:「Hold on , this is my nightmare .」
Dorian:「Yes , you . You are the one who brought Margaret Cochran into all of our lives .」
Viki:「Well , for heaven sakes , you can hardly blame Todd for his own kidnapping .」
Dorian:「Karma , Viki . What goes around comes around . He got what he deserved . You know , I really do like the look of the snake all tied up like this -- helpless , at the mercy of a woman scorned . Do you think the ropes are tight enough ?」

Todd:「I 've been trying .」
Viki:「Well , you have to try harder .」

Michael Scott:「No , Marcie . Thank you very much , but I 'm really hoping that it does n't go that far .」
Marcie:「You know what ? You 're right . It 's not going to happen .」

Dorian:「All right , then . Bring it on .」
Todd:「Wait a minute . This is supposed to be about me , remember ?」
Viki:「He 's quite right .」
Dorian:「Indeed . And fighting with Viki is a waste of time . The truth of the matter is it does n't matter if you get free . You will never be able to get Blair back . She does n't love you anymore .」
Viki:「Do n't you listen to her because that 's not true . She does love you . You heard her sing to you on New Year 's Eve . Now , you have to hold on to that feeling because that 's what 's going to get you out of this -- Blair 's love .」
Dorian:「I do n't care if I am just a figment of Todd 's diseased imagination . I can not listen to another word of this .」

Adriana:「You told Michael and John that you trusted her , and she lied right to your face . What kind of person would do something like that ?」
Rex:「Adriana -- baby , we did that . We lied right to our friends ' faces about Tommy . We thought that we were protecting Michael and Marcie . That 's probably what Morasco thought she was doing , that she was helping . Now , I did n't tell her that I was friends with Marcie . She -- she might have thought that I was -- I was friends with Todd . Who knows ? But if you think that Morasco is even remotely responsible for what 's happening right now in Texas , so are we .」
Reporter:「Again , we are here at the hostage scene in Paris , Texas , where Dr. Michael McBain is currently inside the bon - jour cafe with the fugitive , identified as his wife , Marcie McBain , and a child known as Thomas McBain . We understand that if Dr. McBain is successful in convincing his wife to surrender , the child will immediately be given over to Todd Manning , whose paternity of the child was confirmed in court several months ago . That 's Todd Manning there with his wife , Blair , who arrived from Llanview , Pennsylvania , a short time ago . She is not the natural birth mother of the child in question . We 'll stay here and bring you back any updates .」
narration:[ Turns off TV ]
Adriana:「What are you doing ?」
Rex:「If Marcie comes out of there and has to hand Tommy over to Todd --」
Adriana:「She 'll be destroyed . But we have to watch , Rex . Because you 're right . We 're part of the reason this is happening .」
Todd:「I just do n't understand what the delay is . If he has n't talked her into coming out by now 」
narration:[SCENE_BREAK]
John:「You really want them storming in there with your son inside ?」
Todd:「Sutton , just go in and get her . She 's not going to shoot her own husband ; she 's not going to shoot the baby .」
Agent Sutton:「Mr. Manning , this woman is taking desperate measures to hang on to this baby .」
Blair Waldorf:「She would never hurt the child .」


Agent Sutton:「Did you ever think that this woman would kidnap this child and run off with him ? I 'm not going to pretend that I know what she 's thinking , Mr. Manning , or what she 's capable of doing . I have to make our next move with the task force .」
Blair Waldorf:「John , those guys are pointing their guns right at the door .」
John:「Yeah , that 's what sharpshooters do .」
Blair Waldorf:「But -- well , if -- if Marcie comes out , they 're going to shoot her ? What if she 's holding the baby ?」
narration:[SCENE_BREAK]
Michael Scott:「I love you , Marcie . I love both of you so much , and I will never forgive myself for letting things get to this point . If only I had told you about Tommy from the beginning , but I ca n't take it back now . And you ca n't , either . All we can do is move forward , together , and we can give our son a better life than he has had in the last few months . I know how much you love him . And I know in my heart that all you want is what 's best for our little boy . Marcie , you have to love him enough to let him go .」
Marcie:「Okay . Okay .」


Michael Scott:「Okay ?」
Marcie:「Yeah . Michael , no , I ca n't let him go .」
Michael Scott:「It 's okay , it 's okay . It 's okay . It 's going to be okay .」

Nora:「I assume you 're talking about the kiss ?」
Clint:「We never actually --」
Nora:「Well , no , but you were about to , were n't you ?」
Clint:「By God , that was certainly my intention , yeah .」
Nora:「Hmm .
 Why do n't we pick up where we left off before Nash interrupted us , and maybe we can find a place to start the discussion ?」
narration:[SCENE_BREAK]
Nash:「I 'm sorry , what 'd you just say ?」
Jared:「I said I just made a move on your wife .」
Nash:「Oh .」
Jared:「About supporting the buyout of the vineyard when it comes before the B.E. Board of Directors .」
Natalie:「Actually --」
Jessica:「Natalie walked in on Jared trying to convince me .」
Nash:「Unbelievable . Wow . Jessica and Natalie -- their -- their mother almost got killed tonight . Kind of in the middle of a family crisis , you know , and you -- you decide to take advantage of that ?」
Jared:「It was n't like that . I was only trying to explain that --」
Nash:「Nah , save it , not interested . We 're done playing games , are we clear ?」
Jared:「Could n't be clearer . You are determined to do things your way , even if that means destroying your precious vineyard .」
Nash:「I 'm not going to take the bait . It 's not going to work , all right ?」
Natalie:「Do you guys mind if I had a few minutes alone with Jared ? I promise that I will keep it down and not wake up Bree .」
Nash:「No , not in front of Bree .」

Jessica:「Please , sweetheart . Let 's -- let 's go . Let 's give them a minute .」
Nash:「Yeah . Just do n't leave him here alone with Bree , okay ?」
Natalie:「I wo n't .
 Okay , I want to know exactly what is going on . And if I ever meant anything to you , you 'll tell me the truth .」
narration:[SCENE_BREAK]
Nash:「I swear to God that if Bree had n't been sleeping , I would -- I would have just broken him up into pieces !」
Jessica:「Yeah , that would have been useful , Nash .」
Nash:「All right . You go pack our stuff . I 'll go tell your dad we 're leaving .」
Jessica:「I do n't want to leave .」


Nash:「All right , it 's been a long day , but your mom is fine . There 's absolutely no reason for us to keep hanging out here .」
Jessica:「No , no , I meant I want to spend the night here .」
Nash:「There is no way that I am going to sleep under the same roof as the guy who 's trying to take our vineyard from us , all right ?」
Jessica:「And Bree 's asleep , okay ? I have barely spoken to Natalie ; I 've barely spoken to my father . And when Renee wakes up in the morning , she 's going to want to know what happened , so --」
Nash:「Your dad and Renee -- yeah , all right , let 's stay .」
Jessica:「What changed your mind so fast ?」
Nash:「No , you 're right . You know , it 's -- it 's late . We 'll let Bree sleep tough the night . We 'll stay .」

John:「Okay , listen to me , Mike . You need to get the gun .」
Michael Scott:「Yeah . Yeah , I know the routine . It 's unloaded where the cops can see it . And Marcie 's going to be carrying Tommy .」
John:「I 'll be here .」
Michael Scott:「John , please -- please tell them to go easy on her . Please do n't let them hurt her .」
John:「I promise , Mike . Good luck . They 're coming out , unarmed .」
Todd:「Okay . Listen to me . Hey , my kid comes straight to me , you understand ?」
Agent Sutton:「Just do n't interfere , Mr. Manning . We 're taking every precaution .」

Nora:「Okay . So do you still think we need to have that discussion ?」
Clint:「No , I think we 've pretty much covered it . And you 're right that we -- we do n't have to label this , you know . Why should we so long as it feels right ?」
Nora:「It feels good . It feels very good . So -- what 's next ?」
Clint:「Yeah , what 's next ?」
Nora:「Oh , no , no , no , no , no . What ? Oh , you 've got a serious look all of a sudden . Why ?」
Clint:「I was just thinking that --」
Nora:「No , do n't do that .」
Clint:「Maybe it 's time to tell Bo .」
Nora:「Why , Clint Buchanan , you silver - tongued devil , you . That was our first uninterrupted romantic kiss , and you 're thinking about your brother ? Wow , I must be a lousy kisser .」
Clint:「I forgot , let 's review .」
narration:[ Nora laughs ]
Clint:「Great , now you 're looking awfully serious .」
Nora:「Oh , no , I 'm just thinking -- I mean , yore probably right . We should probably tell Bo . At least we should be the ones to tell him instead of -- oh , say , Dorian , who was chomping at the bit to go blabbing to him during the -- Lindsay 's hearing .」
Clint:「You 're kidding .」
Nora:「Does that surprise you ?」
Clint:「No , I guess not .」
Nora:「We should probably tell Lindsay , too .」
Clint:「Why ?」
Nora:「Well , she was your ex - wife and she will be probably living with Bo .」


Clint:「Lindsay and Bo ? I thought Lindsay was still at St. Ann 's .」
Nora:「Oh , yeah , I knew I forgot to tell you something . Bo 's volunteered to be her court - appointed legal guardian . And actually , R.J. is competing for the honor , although I think the judge will probably award custody to Bo because he 's certainly better in the judge 's eyes , and -- gosh , nothing like killing someone to make a girl popular .」
Clint:「This is such a screwed - up town .」
Nora:「Yeah . I like to think of it as vibrant , you know ? Keeps us on our toes .」
Clint:「There 's never a dull moment .」
narration:[ Nora chuckles ]
Nora:「So who should we tell next ?」
narration:[ Clint chuckles ]
Clint:「Oh , so now you like telling other people , huh ?」
Nora:「I am very proud of what it is that we 're doing .」
Clint:「I 've been wondering how Matthew 's going to react .」
Nora:「I think he 'll be fine with it . He just wants me to be happy , and he certainly thinks the world of you .」
Clint:「That 's good because I 'm crazy about that kid .」
Nora:「Mm - hmm . And then I got to tell my good friend Viki so -- wow , I 'm really not looking forward to doing that .」
Clint:「I do n't think there 'll be any problem with Viki . Viki wants you to be happy .」
Nora:「Yeah .」
Clint:「I 'm sure she wants both of us to be happy .」
Nora:「Yeah .」
Clint:「Besides --」
Nora:「Hmm ?」
Clint:「She has another man in her life .」
Nora:「Does that bother you ?」

Clint:「Viki 's activities have n't -- they have n't been my concern for a very long time .」
Nora:「Well , that 's a very evasive answer , Mr. Buchanan .」
Clint:「All right , Madam D.A. , let 's turn the tables . How do you feel about Bo being with somebody else ? Hi .」
Jessica:「Hi .」
Clint:「You okay ? Everything okay ?」
Jessica:「Uh -- yeah , everything 's fine . I was just wondering if I could spend the night tonight .」
Clint:「Well , of course you can .」
Jessica:「Oh .」
Clint:「I 'm sorry .」
Nora:「What ?」


Clint:「Not my house .」
Nora:「Oh , for God 's sake . Yeah -- yeah -- hello ? My house , Nigel 's house , Renee 's house , your house -- everybody 's house , absolutely . You can stay here as long as you want to without even asking permission .」
Jessica:「Thanks .」
Nora:「Yeah .」
Nash:「Yeah , you know , we just did n't want to wake Bree up for the ride home , so --」
Nora:「Yeah , well , as a matter of fact , I -- I could use some sleep myself . It 's been a long and eventful day .」
Jessica:「Uh -- thank you , Nora , for understanding with all of us kind of descending upon you tonight .」
Nora:「Honey , I 'm just glad your mom 's okay .」
Clint:「Nora ?」
Nora:「Yeah ?」
Clint:「I 'll see you in the morning .」
Nora:「Good night , Clint . Good night .」
Nash:「Hmm , hmm .」
Clint:「Good night , you guys .」
Nash:「Clint ? Um -- I was wondering if maybe in the next day or two , you and I could discuss a proposal that Jared wants to put to B.E.」
Clint:「Yeah , sure . Uh -- we 'll talk any time that you want to .」
Nash:「Great .」
Clint:「Good night , Nash . Good night , honey .」
Jessica:「Good night , Daddy . So that 's why you changed your mind so quickly , huh ? You want to tell my dad and Renee about Jared 's proposal ?」
Nash:「Unless Tess beat me to it , yeah .」
Jessica:「What ?」
Nash:「What ? Well , that 's what that was about , right ? Upstairs ? You were pretending to be Tess again ?」
narration:[SCENE_BREAK]
Jared:「What happened between Tess and me was a long time ago .」
Natalie:「So , what , you wanted a little refresher course ?」
Jared:「Look , Natalie , the -- that kiss that -- ugh ! It -- it was n't what you think it was , okay ?」
Natalie:「Oh , really ? And what exactly was it -- an uncle saying good night to his favorite niece ? What happened between us did n't mean a damn thing to you , did it ?」
Jared:「That 's not true .」
Natalie:「You were playing me . And then when you found out that we were related by blood , well , why not just jump to Jessica ? I mean , you know , it 's still disgusting but at least you eliminate the incest card .」
Jared:「You do n't know what the hell you 're talking about .」


Natalie:「Really ? Well , I know what I saw . You came to town a few months ago with a dream -- to have one shot to work at B.E. so you could prove yourself . Then , you -- you find out that you 're Grandpa 's son and you get to live here in the mansion , you get a seat on the board of directors at B.E. That 's a hell of a lot more than what you ever dreamed of . But it 's just not enough , is it , Jared ?」
narration:[SCENE_BREAK]
Rex:「You okay ?」
Adriana:「You 're being so sweet to me .」
Rex:「Well , I love you .」
Adriana:「I just ca n't get that image out of my head . Marcie looked like she wanted to die .」
Rex:「Well , she gave up Tommy . She can never have children of her own , you know ? Nobody 's going to let her adopt now .」
Adriana:「I thought she and Michael had everything . They were so much in love and now it 's all gone .」
Rex:「The love is n't gone .」
Adriana:「How did it ever get that far , Rex ?」
Rex:「I do n't know .」
Adriana:「I would love to blame Todd for what happened , but what was he supposed to do when he found out Tommy was his son ? Truth . It 's because everybody hid the truth . Promise me that 's never going to happen to us . Do n't ever let a secret destroy us .」
narration:[SCENE_BREAK]
Officer:「If you do not have an attorney , you will be provided one . You understand your rights ?」
Michael Scott:「Hey , quit shoving her around like that !」
John:「All right , all right . Listen , stay calm , Mike , all right ? Marcie needs you to be strong . Let 's go .」
Michael Scott:「Marcie ? Did they hurt you , honey ?」
Marcie:「What are they doing , Mike ?」
Michael Scott:「They just -- they just need to make sure that he 's okay .」
Marcie:「You know I would never hurt him .」
Agent Sutton:「Mrs. McBain , we 're going to be taking you to the local police station in a few moments . You 'll be staying there overnight until we decide where you 'll be prosecuted . Your wife 's been read her rights . I suggest you find her a good attorney .」
Michael Scott:「They really did n't need to be so rough with her .」
Agent Sutton:「Dr. McBain , you 're lucky she 's alive .」
John:「Listen to me . Can we buy these two a couple of minutes -- please ?」
Michael Scott:「I meant what I said before , Marce . I 'll always be here for you .」
narration:[SCENE_BREAK]
Todd:「Thank you . I do n't want her near him ever again .」


Blair Waldorf:「Well , I do n't think you 're going to have to worry about that , Todd . With everything that Marcie 's done here , she not only lost Sam , she 's lost everything .」
narration:[SCENE_BREAK]
Jessica:「I was in the room alone with Bree and Jared walked in . What was I supposed to do ?」
Nash:「Oh , you had no choice ?」
Jessica:「When Jared and I were alone at the cottage earlier , I -- I did everything that I could do to convince him that I was Tess ! What was I supposed to do ? I could n't just drop it !」
Nash:「What were you supposed to do ?」
Jessica:「What would he have thought ?」
Nash:「What do I give a damn about what Jared thinks ? Come on !」
Jessica:「Nash ? I really wish you would understand the only one that can find out the truth about Jared is Tess .」
Nash:「Tess ?」
Jessica:「Yes .」
Nash:「Is that the same Tess who slept with him ?」
Jessica:「That 's what this is about ?」
