Dynasty s07e22 Episode Script
The Shower
She's been doing that most of the night.
She hasn't done that since she was an infant.
- Was she restless? - Yes, very.
All night.
- You should have called me.
- She finally fell asleep about 3:00.
- Mommy.
- Oh, hello, darling.
- Do you feel okay? - I'm tired, Mommy.
I know.
I want you to get some rest today, okay? All right, Mommy.
Mrs.
Johnson, call me if Kristina ever needs anything.
Mrs.
Carrington, I have taken care of children for a long time now.
Don't you think you're being overly protective? Overly protective? I'll decide what's best for my daughter.
Now, close your eyes.
Get some sleep.
[GRUNTlNG.]
You lied to me.
Repeat it after me, Michael.
"l am Adam Carrington.
" Say it for me so I can make peace.
I am Adam Carrington.
I am Adam Carrington.
I am Adam Carrington.
Liar.
Oh.
You lied.
Liar.
You lied to me.
You lied! Adam? It was just a nightmare.
Well, listen, I wanna talk to you.
I've got a hangover, I'm not in the mood to talk right now.
Adam, what is happening between us? Oh, not a scene, I hope.
I am definitely not in the mood for a scene.
Well, I am talking about the way you acted with me last night.
I couldn't sleep all night because of it.
That, and because I'm so worried about you, Adam.
I mean, all the things you said, and the way you were drinking-- Which probably accounts for some of the things I said.
Look, Dana, don't you have to go to work? I want to lose myself under a hot shower for a long time.
- Adam, please don't treat me this way.
- Treat you what way, Dana? It's morning.
In the morning people take showers, they go to work.
Oh, would you stop it? Adam, what does it take for me to get through to you? I am not your enemy.
I am the woman you asked to be your wife.
Except I'm not your husband yet.
You don't own me yet.
I still live my own life.
I still do and say what I want without apologising to the world for it.
Is that clear? Very clear.
Adam I love you.
And I love you.
Maybe we can chalk this up as a lovers' quarrel? Nesides, I really do have a hangover.
It's a lousy excuse, I know, but it's the truth.
Okay? Sure.
[DOOR CLOSES.]
SARAH: Good morning, Nlake.
Oh, Sarah, how are you this morning? A lot better than last night, if that's what you mean.
- Well, I didn't mean to imply anything.
- You don't have to dance around it.
Yesterday, I wanted to end my life.
NLAKE: Well, I didn't intend for you-- SARAH: It's a fact, nothing to hide.
The important thing is that thanks to Krystle, here I am, alive, ready to fight back all the way, and I will.
Well, Sarah, I don't mean to interfere, but have you thought about the possibility of getting some professional help? If you're talking about therapy, or some sort of grief counselling, I don't need it.
Where I come from, we handle these things ourselves.
All right.
Again, I just want you to know how pleased we are to have you as our guest.
The guest from Wyoming.
Our friend from Wyoming.
Thank you.
I appreciate it.
You know, Dex has talked so much about you, I'm really anxious to get to know you.
Good.
Incidentally, if you ever feel that you wanna get out of the house and do some sightseeing, just tell Gerard and he'll get you a driver and a car.
No, no, I'd rather stay here now, be close to Krystle and Kristina.
Nut thank you, anyway.
Thank you.
The maps aren't there because I brought them home to study them.
Well, that's very admirable, but I'd like to see them.
- So bring them by when you check in.
- Yes.
What? I'm sorry, I must have a bad connection.
What'd you say? Heh.
I said yes.
What'd you expect me to say? "Yes, sir"? "Yes, Mr.
Fallmont?" [LAUGHS.]
Yes, Clay.
All right, I'll see you at work.
Nye.
Morning, Dad.
Getting pretty friendly with Fallmont, aren't you? Are you ever gonna tell me what you really have against him? Why don't you just enjoy your breakfast? You know, there are some people who enjoy talking over breakfast.
Well, this morning, I am not one of them, Leslie.
Especially when the subject is the Fallmonts, right? What is it, Dad? I'll tell you exactly what it is.
I've learned that it's best if you work with someone, not to have any kind of social relationship.
Null.
Well, I'm sorry, I just don't buy that.
Dad, you don't even know Clay.
Okay, so you know his father.
Is it Senator Fallmont you have something against? I don't like the man, but no, it's not that.
I'm jealous.
I'm a jealous new father.
I haven't had my daughter back in my life for very long and she starts to run around with this young good-looking guy without even giving me a chance to let her know how much I love her.
Dad, there's room enough for both of you in my life.
You should know that.
When it comes to being a father, no matter how tall your daughter gets, she's still a baby.
Well, it's time for this tall kid to get to work.
Oh, there's a bridal shower for Dana tonight.
I'll be home after that.
Bye.
- Sarah.
SARAH: Oh, hi, Dominique.
It's so good to see you.
I heard you were here, that Krystle brought you back.
Yes, Krystle brought me back after I tried to kill myself.
- Look, Sarah, l-- - Don't be embarrassed, please.
I'm not.
It was just a stupid mistake, and I'm having to face up to it.
I owe it to myself, and I owe it to the two people I loved, and I owe it to their memories.
Nut life goes on, doesn't it? Yes, and I'm glad that you're here with us.
Thank you, that's very sweet.
- Good morning.
- Morning.
Mommy, doesn't Valez look nice this morning? - Yes, very nice.
- I gotta go take him in now.
Okay.
There you go, cowboy.
Unh.
You weren't there when I got up this morning.
Yeah, I decided to go for an early ride.
Well, I know you're an early person, but you must have left at least by 6.
Yeah, I did.
I just wanted to get out of the house for a little while, get some time to think.
I'm sorry for what happened last night.
It wasn't fair to you.
Oh, Sammy Jo, you don't have to apologise.
You didn't do anything wrong.
Well, we made a bargain and I broke the rules.
I promise it won't happen again.
Adam, in case you forgot, we had a breakfast meeting this morning, which you missed.
A power meeting with Mother.
Strikes me as being a little bizarre, somehow.
Is this your way of apologising? Ny getting drunk and being cute with me.
Mother, I have a hangover.
I think I'm allowed once in a while, just as I'm allowed to miss a meeting, just as I'm allowed to take the day off.
Oh, really? So you're not going to the office today, hm? You got it, Mother.
I'm celebrating the new me, if you like.
Speaking of celebrating, Adam, why the hell did you invite Neal McVane to the party last night? You know I despise that creep.
I didn't invite him.
He sort of inveigled his way in.
- And you had nothing to do with it? - No.
Nelieve a convicted murderer or believe me, take your choice.
- Scotch on the rocks, please.
- Nothing, thank you.
Adam, this is not like you.
This is not like you at all.
A bit of rebellion, Mother? No.
I think you're playing a little game with me.
You think you know me very well, don't you? Mm-hm.
Well, Alexis Colby, you don't.
Goodbye, Adam.
- I won, Mommy.
- Ha, ha.
You sure did.
You've made just about the tallest building in all of Denver.
- I'll be right back, darling.
- Okay.
KRYSTLE: Sarah.
- Yes? Why didn't you come in? I used to play with Cathy all the time.
I loved being alone with my daughter.
And I just didn't want to invade on your time with yours.
Oh.
You mustn't ever think that.
Necause without you, l-- I wouldn't have these special moments with Kristina.
- Well, still-- - Please, come back in with me.
I'd like that.
And so would Kristina.
- So would l.
- Good.
Later, while she's taking her nap, we could have lunch.
After that, why don't you come riding with me? Oh, great.
That sounds great.
[DOOR OPENS.]
Somebody send you a belated Christmas present? It's for Dana's surprise shower tonight.
Oh, yeah.
Sammy Jo's all excited about that.
In fact, everybody in the family seems to be pleased with this marriage, including you.
Yes, Dana's a very likeable girl, and she is contributing to Adam's happiness.
Which is one of the reasons that I've asked to see you.
Why, is something wrong? Yes, something is very wrong, Steven.
I just left Adam this morning, and he was drinking heavily.
Something's obviously troubling him, and I don't know what it is.
Do you? No, I don't.
Well, I need your help to try and get to the bottom of things.
Well, Mother, Adam's his own man.
He might not appreciate my interfering.
Well, I know that, but you and he have become closer recently.
Thanks to Dana.
She's been wonderful.
Yes, but right now it's your brother, and only your brother that I'm concerned with.
He really needs your help, Steven.
- What do you think? - Mm.
Very good.
That niece of yours is something else.
She's really quite extraordinary.
Well, Leslie's a Carrington, isn't she? Blake, about Sarah.
I think it's great the way that you and Krystle have taken her in.
I have known Sarah since we were kids.
And I should have read what was going to happen.
- I mean, her suicide attempt.
- Well, how could you know? Those signals are difficult to read.
They're given, but we don't always see them.
How is she, Blake? I'm not sure.
Outwardly, she seems to be all right.
I mean, putting her life back in order.
Nut I noticed something about her this morning.
She has kind of a desperate facade, holding everything back in.
Yeah, that's Sarah.
Ne strong, be brave, don't show your sorrow.
The important thing for now is that Krystle is being a fantastic friend to her.
Yes, but Krystle is a new friend.
Now, you, you're an old friend.
I think you could help Sarah more than anyone.
Oh! - How do you like riding my horse? - Oh, she is wonderful.
I'm from just outside Laramie, what's your excuse? - For what? - For being such a good rider.
I thought you said you were from Dayton, Ohio.
Heh.
Yes, but I spent every summer on my grandparent's farm.
Up at the crack of dawn.
Helping with breakfast and some chores.
And then my reward of rewards was riding all afternoon and helping out in the stable.
As a matter of fact, I helped birth this horse I'm on, a couple years ago.
She is a beauty.
Oh, God.
I'll tell you, I can't tell you how many foals I helped birth in my lifetime.
You know, we've got a lot in common, Krystle.
In fact In fact, what? That night, that terrible night in California, when I got off the plane with Nlake and they were rushing Cathy to the hospital, and I saw you standing, waiting for us, it was dark, but I could see your eyes.
It was like the sister I never had before.
The closest friend left to me on this earth.
And that's what you've been to me since, a sister.
Yes, we do have a lot in common.
Like our beautiful little daughters.
-YELLS.]
[lNAUDlBLE DlALOGUE.]
- Dr.
Edwards.
- Dana.
Thank you.
- Would you like some coffee? - No, thank you.
I would like to thank you for agreeing to see me before you left for home.
You said you needed my help.
That's what doctors are for.
Even ageing doctors like me, huh? [CHUCKLES.]
What I want most from you is for you to be honest with me.
I've always tried to be that.
When we spoke earlier, you didn't seem to approve of my marriage to Adam.
Why not? I don't disapprove.
I'm simply, well, caught by surprise.
Oh, I don't think that's all there is to it.
In fact, I know it isn't.
That's a rather rude and uncalled for remark, Dana.
Well, is that why you look upset right now? Or is it because I've hit a nerve? I have to know, Dr.
Edwards.
Well, there a few things I know about him that That, what? I'm afraid you'll have to get your answers from him.
As Adam's physician, I must respect rules of confidentiality.
As Adam's physician.
When we were in high school, I remember Adam missed a semester.
Now, people said that he was having a breakdown and that you were treating him for it.
Is that what's happening again? Please tell me, Dr.
Edwards.
I'm talking about Adam.
I'm talking about a lifetime of loving him.
I'm sorry, Dana.
It's Adam who'll have to answer your questions.
You're not helping me at all.
I am drowning with him, and you're just standing by watching it.
I wish I could help, but I can't.
[SlGHS.]
I don't have time for any of this.
I'm very worried about my son.
You'd better take the time, Alexis.
[SlGHS.]
All right.
You have exactly one minute.
Nut I didn't agree to keep you posted on my business moves.
We're not talking about just any moves here.
I'm the one who introduced you to Dirk Maurier, remember? Yes, and I repaid you on the Four Crossings Deal, and I owe you nothing.
Alexis, nobody dumps me that easily.
Now, I have hard information that you and Maurier are negotiating without me, and I want in.
Oh.
What sort of hard information? Who've you been paying to spy on me? It's true then, isn't it? Your minute is up, and you and I are finished.
Through.
- Through? MlCHAEL: Oh, yes.
Nut I told her not to be so sure about that.
Listen, Alexis Colby will use you till she's done, and then she'll spit you out.
I know.
She did it to me once.
Once.
Nut she'll never do it again.
So, Culhane, you're ready to talk business.
That's right.
I wanna be a part of whatever deal you have in mind.
- Are you sure about that? - Very sure.
Because it'll cost.
Don't worry about the money.
I know where I can get my hands on plenty.
Now, wait a minute.
You're telling me that you suddenly wanna sell back to me - your share of the crater.
Why? - Why not? - I have no further quarrels with you.
- I see.
Nesides, those natural gas deposits at the crater could be very important to Colorado, as well as the rest of the country.
And you, Michael Culhane, don't wanna stand in my way.
- Is that it? - Exactly.
So I'm willing to take what you offered me for my share in the crater, and get out of your way.
Is there a problem? There usually is where you're concerned, with members of my family or in business.
Look, I have been out of Fallon's life for a long time now.
And as for Amanda, she's gone off to Europe.
I don't think it's necessary to get into that history.
Let's talk about now.
You have muscled your way to where you are today by using everybody.
What I really should do is to bring you back down and make you crawl.
Nut I'll be honest with you, I'm so happy to get you out that I'll pay you exactly what it cost you in the first place.
That's very generous of you.
Yes, I know.
Now, I'm busy.
Get the hell out of here.
[DOOR OPENS THEN CLOSES.]
[SlGHS.]
All right if I come in? Yes.
Of course.
Do you forgive me for last night and this morning? Of course I do.
You are so lovely when you accept an apology.
[CHUCKLES.]
Has anyone ever told you that before? - Oh, dozens of men.
- I'm jealous.
And I'm miserable for what I've put you through.
For what you're putting yourself through, Adam.
Dana, please, let's not start that again.
All right, all right.
It's just that I'm not the only one who's worried about you.
Dr.
Edwards is What about him? Nothing.
Have you been talking to that old man? I saw him for a few minutes today.
What did he say about me? What did he tell you? Nothing.
- If you have a secret, Adam-- - There are no secrets.
Will you ever understand that? There is something wrong, Adam, and it scares me.
Can you understand that? Whatever it is, don't you think it's about time you shared it with me? Please.
Something is bothering me, and it scares me too.
Nut I don't want you to worry about it.
Because I swear, l-- I'm gonna make it right.
I am.
"Cinderella and the prince lived happily ever after on his ranch.
" I thought they lived in a castle.
Well, he had both.
How about that? - You're funny, Mrs.
Curtis.
- Ha, ha.
So are you.
Hello, sweetheart.
- Hi, Mommy.
- Hi.
Sarah, where's Mrs.
Johnson? She asked me to sit with this little treasure while she went on a coffee break.
Actually, it's been a pretty long break.
Nut I haven't minded.
We've had a great time, haven't we? Yes.
Mrs.
Johnson, I'd like to speak to you outside for a minute.
Now, what kind of animals do you suppose Cinderella and What seems to be the problem, Mrs.
Carrington? You were due back here quite a while ago.
You know my daughter might need professional care at any given moment.
I'm aware of that, Mrs.
Carrington.
I'm also aware your daughter was not alone, that I was in the kitchen, not off in town somewhere.
And that if there'd have been a problem, Mrs.
Curtis would have called me on the intercom.
I am not interested in the geography of this house.
I'm only interested in my daughter's health.
I won't overstay my break again.
Please don't.
We could lay the pipe here, and we could bridge it over here.
- You don't wanna do that.
- What don't I wanna do? - Leave the pipe exposed.
- It's solid steel.
Why not? It's environmentally offensive.
Oh, that's right.
I forgot I was working with a woman engineer.
Well, why don't we just paint it a shade of pastel? Ooh, sounds great.
You could even have one of your groupies pick out the shade.
- Ha.
What groupies? - Oh, come on.
Those girls that drive out here every afternoon to ogle you.
Oh, yeah, them.
Well, maybe they think I'm kind of cute.
You don't? Eh.
Ha, ha.
Looks don't do it for me.
Brains do.
Well, I'm all for brains, but the idea of a little sex never turned me off.
Come here.
[CHUCKLES.]
Uh, Sammy Jo.
Ahem.
What are you doing here? Leslie has the other key to Dana's apartment and we need it to start the decorations.
Oh.
Sorry I forgot to give it to you.
Well, ahem, ladies, if you'll excuse me, I've gotta see a man about a pipe.
- Thank you.
- Do you mind if I get personal? How personal? Why did you and Clay break up? Well, it's kind of complicated.
Nut I guess you could say I fell out of love with him.
Ah.
Did he, uh, also fall out of love with you? I think you should ask him that yourself.
Maybe sometime when you're not working.
Oh.
Sammy Jo, it was just a kiss.
Relax.
Our marriage was annulled.
Clay is back in circulation.
I'm perfectly happy with my life right now.
See you tonight.
[SlGHS.]
- Hello? - I'm sorry, Mr.
McVane isn't here-- Mr.
McVane is expecting me.
I see.
Thank you.
Mr.
Torrance.
[CHUCKLES.]
You're wasting your time.
Those negatives you're looking for, they're certainly not in here.
I'll kill you, McVane.
I see you've been drinking.
Heh.
I hope it wasn't my better stock.
Damn you.
Let me tell you something.
That evidence that I described to you, along with that there's a letter to my attorney.
If anything ever happens to me, how long do you think your secret will be safe? Now, with your cooperation, I'll keep your secret.
Nut no matter what you do for the rest of your life, it won't make you a Carrington.
You never were, Mr.
Torrance.
You never will be.
[DOOR CLOSES.]
[DOOR OPENS.]
- Oh, Dex.
- Just hold on, Sarah.
Hold on.
- Nack home yesterday-- - I know, I know, I heard.
But that's past now.
You're here.
You're safe.
I feel safe, I really do, l You'll be living here for a while.
I don't know how long exactly, but I'll stay here for a while.
Good.
Now, how about having dinner with an old friend tonight? Go out? I might not be the best company in the world.
You'll sure be the best-looking.
I mean, I didn't campaign for you to be prom queen for nothing.
Except I didn't win.
The vote was rigged.
Okay for tonight? Yes.
You're sweet, Dex.
Sammy Jo, what are you doing here? - I came by to pick up Dana's present.
- Ah.
What did you get her? It's a negligee from the hotel boutique.
Yes, they do do rather good things there.
Sammy Jo, since you're here, I wanna ask you something about, uh About Steven living with you.
Go on.
You don't usually hesitate about anything.
- What exactly is it you wanna know? - Is he happy? He's always happy when he's with Danny.
You know that.
What about when he's with you? We share a son, Alexis.
We share a lot of good memories.
Oh, I know, but is that all you're sharing? I don't think that's your business.
Steven's happiness is always my business, Sammy Jo.
Anyway, I'll see you later at the shower.
If I'm a bit late, tell the others that I'll be along as soon as I can.
[SlREN WAlLlNG.]
Now, the first thing, hand me that flask.
And then let me see your licence and registration.
SAMMY JO: That's so pretty.
You have a wonderful touch, Dominique.
Thank you.
You know, when Nrady and l were married, we were so poor the only bridal shower I had was What is that old cliche? "Happy is the bride that the sun shines on.
" Well, we were happy.
We were for a while.
Then it all fell apart.
Well, that's the way it goes.
You never know how a marriage will end.
That's right, you never do know, do you? Sammy Jo, have I said something to upset you? Necause I didn't mean to.
No, no, it's not that.
It's just that I've gotta tell someone.
Well, what is it? It's about Steven.
I'm sure you know he's living at the ranch with Danny and me.
- Yes.
- Nut we sleep in separate rooms.
And I want it to work out differently.
It worked with us before, and we were very happy.
And Steven is Danny's father.
Fathers and mothers.
I know what you mean, Sammy Jo.
It's a very special bond between a man and a woman, parenthood.
Unfortunately, sometimes, that bond just isn't enough.
And believe me, Sammy Jo, I know what I'm talking about.
[DOOR OPENS.]
DOMlNlQUE: Oh! Hi.
Oh.
- Hi.
- Thanks.
DOMlNlQUE: It's beautiful.
- Doesn't it look great? DOMlNlQUE: Oh, yes.
- Oh.
She looks delicious.
SAMMY JO: Yeah.
LESLlE: I hope she loves it.
SAMMY JO: Oh, she will.
Good evening.
Thank you, George.
- Hello, darling.
- Hi.
- Have a good day? - Mm-hm.
- How's Kristina? - Oh, she's fine.
And very happy to hear that her daddy - was coming home from work early.
- Ha, ha.
- Krystle.
- Yes, Sarah, what is it? - Kristina's developed a rash.
- A rash? The doctor said to watch for anything out of the ordinary.
Let's have a look.
Mrs.
Johnson, how long has Kristina had this rash? - It appeared a little while ago.
- A little while ago? KRYSTLE: Dr.
Chadway, please.
Krystle Carrington calling.
Mrs.
Johnson, it's now 5:00, there haven't been any notations made on this chart since noon.
I have my own way of doing things, Mr.
Carrington.
Does that also include disregarding any vital information on my daughter? Well, that's gross negligence.
I have not been negligent.
I know what's best for this child.
Nut I am not prepared to take this kind of abuse.
In that case, you won't mind leaving this house.
No, I'll be more than happy to go.
The doctor will be right over.
Darling, I'm sorry to have created such a big to-do.
I've been wanting to do that all day.
- Thank you for being here, Sarah.
- I'm happy to be useful.
I'll go downstairs and wait for the doctor.
- All right, sweetheart, back in bed.
- All right, Daddy.
NLAKE: All right, now close your eyes, little one.
I forgot to ask.
Ask what? How much do I owe you for bailing me out? - Call it a gift.
- Heh.
To celebrate what, Steven? Oh, Dana's shower.
My secret present to the bridegroom.
Accepted? - Adam? - Hm? Yeah, thanks.
Good girl.
Nack under the covers.
There's really nothing to worry about.
The rash is just a minor irritation.
Oh.
That's good to hear.
You can understand why we were so concerned, doctor.
Yes, she's been overly tired lately.
That's normal for a recovery pattern.
She's doing beautifully.
That's very reassuring.
Nut call me if anything seems at all unusual.
Yes.
Yes, we will.
Thank you.
I'll walk you out.
I'll be back in a minute, all right? All right, Mommy.
I'll stay with her, Mrs.
Carrington.
She'll be just fine.
Won't you, darling? Hm? Of course you will.
Krystle, how is Kristina? - The doctor said she's all right.
- Oh, good.
I'm calling the nurses' registry.
We'll need someone right away.
If you have any problem trying to find somebody, I'd be happy to watch her.
And if you wanna go to Dana's shower-- No.
I wouldn't feel comfortable anywhere but here tonight.
But thank you for the offer.
She's very special to me, Krystle.
She's all that I have left of Cathy.
I know.
Oh, we'll miss you.
Yes, I'll tell the others.
Nye-bye, darling.
Well, Krystle sends her apologies, but she's had a problem with Kristina.
Oh, nothing serious, I hope.
No, she said it was minor, but she just didn't wanna leave her.
- Alexis, what did you buy for Dana? - Mm? Oh, I bought her the most beautiful vermeil dressing-table set that used to be owned by Madame Pompadour.
Louie XV's mistress? Oh, that's very good, Dominique, very good.
Actually, I heard that the old man wasn't such a great lover after all.
Of course, she told you this herself.
Ha-ha-ha.
No, dear, I'm very friendly with her great-great-great-great niece, the Comtesse de Vigny, and she's an expert on the family of Louis XV.
Oh.
WOMAN: Shh, shh! ALL: Surprise! Goodness.
Somebody should've warned me, I would've been more prepared.
Come on, everybody.
Dana, have a glass of champagne.
Everybody have champagne? - Dominique, there's one for you.
DOMlNlQUE: Thank you.
One for you.
Has everybody got a glass? All right, now I would like to propose a toast.
To the lovely girl who is soon going to marry my handsome son.
- Cheers.
ALL: Cheers.
Thank you.
DOMlNlQUE: May you have a long and wonderful life together.
DANA: Oh, thank you.
[WOMEN GlGGLlNG AND CHATTERlNG.]
How you feeling? Sober, almost.
A bit more coffee would help.
Adam Why are you on this binge? I don't wanna talk about it, Steven.
Well, I wanna talk about something.
I'm glad you called me today.
Are you? Neing dragged away from what you were doing, having to bail me out.
No, I am glad.
I told Dana how we've always been at each other's throats, treated each other more as strangers than as brothers, but how that's changing.
What did Dana say about me? [LAUGHS.]
- Nothing too bad.
- Steven, would you excuse me? - I've just remembered something.
- Where are you going? There's something I've gotta do.
[DOOR OPENS THEN CLOSES.]
What can I tell you? It's not the first time I've been stood up.
I'm sorry, I know I forgot about dinner, but with the excitement about Kristina this afternoon-- Come on, I understand.
I understand.
Look, we still have time to make it to that steak house.
- Uh - Sarah.
All right, as long as it's not too far from here.
I don't wanna be away from Kristina too long, okay? I'll go get dressed.
[SlGHS.]
Dana, are you sure you don't need any help cleaning up? I told everybody else, I'm going to tell you now, no.
Nut thank you for coming and for the wonderful gift.
Ha, ha.
You're welcome.
Enter the lucky bridegroom.
Hello, Adam.
Well, I'd better get going.
I'll see you both later.
They didn't believe me, but the shower really was a surprise.
Is that what they didn't believe, Dana? What do you mean? Who else have you been talking to about me? Nesides Dr.
Edwards, I mean, and Steven and God knows who else.
What? You been talking to my father too, about how strangely I've been acting.
And told Mother I've turned into a drunk.
- Adam, I don't know what it is-- - It won't work, Dana.
I can't pretend everything's fine between us when I know it's not.
Have you stopped loving me? Is that what's really wrong? ADAM: I don't know.
I'm not sure anymore.
I only know that I'm being smothered by you, by everybody.
And I've got to get away.
- Adam, if it's the wedding-- - Wedding? What wedding? There's not gonna be any damned wedding.
She hasn't done that since she was an infant.
- Was she restless? - Yes, very.
All night.
- You should have called me.
- She finally fell asleep about 3:00.
- Mommy.
- Oh, hello, darling.
- Do you feel okay? - I'm tired, Mommy.
I know.
I want you to get some rest today, okay? All right, Mommy.
Mrs.
Johnson, call me if Kristina ever needs anything.
Mrs.
Carrington, I have taken care of children for a long time now.
Don't you think you're being overly protective? Overly protective? I'll decide what's best for my daughter.
Now, close your eyes.
Get some sleep.
[GRUNTlNG.]
You lied to me.
Repeat it after me, Michael.
"l am Adam Carrington.
" Say it for me so I can make peace.
I am Adam Carrington.
I am Adam Carrington.
I am Adam Carrington.
Liar.
Oh.
You lied.
Liar.
You lied to me.
You lied! Adam? It was just a nightmare.
Well, listen, I wanna talk to you.
I've got a hangover, I'm not in the mood to talk right now.
Adam, what is happening between us? Oh, not a scene, I hope.
I am definitely not in the mood for a scene.
Well, I am talking about the way you acted with me last night.
I couldn't sleep all night because of it.
That, and because I'm so worried about you, Adam.
I mean, all the things you said, and the way you were drinking-- Which probably accounts for some of the things I said.
Look, Dana, don't you have to go to work? I want to lose myself under a hot shower for a long time.
- Adam, please don't treat me this way.
- Treat you what way, Dana? It's morning.
In the morning people take showers, they go to work.
Oh, would you stop it? Adam, what does it take for me to get through to you? I am not your enemy.
I am the woman you asked to be your wife.
Except I'm not your husband yet.
You don't own me yet.
I still live my own life.
I still do and say what I want without apologising to the world for it.
Is that clear? Very clear.
Adam I love you.
And I love you.
Maybe we can chalk this up as a lovers' quarrel? Nesides, I really do have a hangover.
It's a lousy excuse, I know, but it's the truth.
Okay? Sure.
[DOOR CLOSES.]
SARAH: Good morning, Nlake.
Oh, Sarah, how are you this morning? A lot better than last night, if that's what you mean.
- Well, I didn't mean to imply anything.
- You don't have to dance around it.
Yesterday, I wanted to end my life.
NLAKE: Well, I didn't intend for you-- SARAH: It's a fact, nothing to hide.
The important thing is that thanks to Krystle, here I am, alive, ready to fight back all the way, and I will.
Well, Sarah, I don't mean to interfere, but have you thought about the possibility of getting some professional help? If you're talking about therapy, or some sort of grief counselling, I don't need it.
Where I come from, we handle these things ourselves.
All right.
Again, I just want you to know how pleased we are to have you as our guest.
The guest from Wyoming.
Our friend from Wyoming.
Thank you.
I appreciate it.
You know, Dex has talked so much about you, I'm really anxious to get to know you.
Good.
Incidentally, if you ever feel that you wanna get out of the house and do some sightseeing, just tell Gerard and he'll get you a driver and a car.
No, no, I'd rather stay here now, be close to Krystle and Kristina.
Nut thank you, anyway.
Thank you.
The maps aren't there because I brought them home to study them.
Well, that's very admirable, but I'd like to see them.
- So bring them by when you check in.
- Yes.
What? I'm sorry, I must have a bad connection.
What'd you say? Heh.
I said yes.
What'd you expect me to say? "Yes, sir"? "Yes, Mr.
Fallmont?" [LAUGHS.]
Yes, Clay.
All right, I'll see you at work.
Nye.
Morning, Dad.
Getting pretty friendly with Fallmont, aren't you? Are you ever gonna tell me what you really have against him? Why don't you just enjoy your breakfast? You know, there are some people who enjoy talking over breakfast.
Well, this morning, I am not one of them, Leslie.
Especially when the subject is the Fallmonts, right? What is it, Dad? I'll tell you exactly what it is.
I've learned that it's best if you work with someone, not to have any kind of social relationship.
Null.
Well, I'm sorry, I just don't buy that.
Dad, you don't even know Clay.
Okay, so you know his father.
Is it Senator Fallmont you have something against? I don't like the man, but no, it's not that.
I'm jealous.
I'm a jealous new father.
I haven't had my daughter back in my life for very long and she starts to run around with this young good-looking guy without even giving me a chance to let her know how much I love her.
Dad, there's room enough for both of you in my life.
You should know that.
When it comes to being a father, no matter how tall your daughter gets, she's still a baby.
Well, it's time for this tall kid to get to work.
Oh, there's a bridal shower for Dana tonight.
I'll be home after that.
Bye.
- Sarah.
SARAH: Oh, hi, Dominique.
It's so good to see you.
I heard you were here, that Krystle brought you back.
Yes, Krystle brought me back after I tried to kill myself.
- Look, Sarah, l-- - Don't be embarrassed, please.
I'm not.
It was just a stupid mistake, and I'm having to face up to it.
I owe it to myself, and I owe it to the two people I loved, and I owe it to their memories.
Nut life goes on, doesn't it? Yes, and I'm glad that you're here with us.
Thank you, that's very sweet.
- Good morning.
- Morning.
Mommy, doesn't Valez look nice this morning? - Yes, very nice.
- I gotta go take him in now.
Okay.
There you go, cowboy.
Unh.
You weren't there when I got up this morning.
Yeah, I decided to go for an early ride.
Well, I know you're an early person, but you must have left at least by 6.
Yeah, I did.
I just wanted to get out of the house for a little while, get some time to think.
I'm sorry for what happened last night.
It wasn't fair to you.
Oh, Sammy Jo, you don't have to apologise.
You didn't do anything wrong.
Well, we made a bargain and I broke the rules.
I promise it won't happen again.
Adam, in case you forgot, we had a breakfast meeting this morning, which you missed.
A power meeting with Mother.
Strikes me as being a little bizarre, somehow.
Is this your way of apologising? Ny getting drunk and being cute with me.
Mother, I have a hangover.
I think I'm allowed once in a while, just as I'm allowed to miss a meeting, just as I'm allowed to take the day off.
Oh, really? So you're not going to the office today, hm? You got it, Mother.
I'm celebrating the new me, if you like.
Speaking of celebrating, Adam, why the hell did you invite Neal McVane to the party last night? You know I despise that creep.
I didn't invite him.
He sort of inveigled his way in.
- And you had nothing to do with it? - No.
Nelieve a convicted murderer or believe me, take your choice.
- Scotch on the rocks, please.
- Nothing, thank you.
Adam, this is not like you.
This is not like you at all.
A bit of rebellion, Mother? No.
I think you're playing a little game with me.
You think you know me very well, don't you? Mm-hm.
Well, Alexis Colby, you don't.
Goodbye, Adam.
- I won, Mommy.
- Ha, ha.
You sure did.
You've made just about the tallest building in all of Denver.
- I'll be right back, darling.
- Okay.
KRYSTLE: Sarah.
- Yes? Why didn't you come in? I used to play with Cathy all the time.
I loved being alone with my daughter.
And I just didn't want to invade on your time with yours.
Oh.
You mustn't ever think that.
Necause without you, l-- I wouldn't have these special moments with Kristina.
- Well, still-- - Please, come back in with me.
I'd like that.
And so would Kristina.
- So would l.
- Good.
Later, while she's taking her nap, we could have lunch.
After that, why don't you come riding with me? Oh, great.
That sounds great.
[DOOR OPENS.]
Somebody send you a belated Christmas present? It's for Dana's surprise shower tonight.
Oh, yeah.
Sammy Jo's all excited about that.
In fact, everybody in the family seems to be pleased with this marriage, including you.
Yes, Dana's a very likeable girl, and she is contributing to Adam's happiness.
Which is one of the reasons that I've asked to see you.
Why, is something wrong? Yes, something is very wrong, Steven.
I just left Adam this morning, and he was drinking heavily.
Something's obviously troubling him, and I don't know what it is.
Do you? No, I don't.
Well, I need your help to try and get to the bottom of things.
Well, Mother, Adam's his own man.
He might not appreciate my interfering.
Well, I know that, but you and he have become closer recently.
Thanks to Dana.
She's been wonderful.
Yes, but right now it's your brother, and only your brother that I'm concerned with.
He really needs your help, Steven.
- What do you think? - Mm.
Very good.
That niece of yours is something else.
She's really quite extraordinary.
Well, Leslie's a Carrington, isn't she? Blake, about Sarah.
I think it's great the way that you and Krystle have taken her in.
I have known Sarah since we were kids.
And I should have read what was going to happen.
- I mean, her suicide attempt.
- Well, how could you know? Those signals are difficult to read.
They're given, but we don't always see them.
How is she, Blake? I'm not sure.
Outwardly, she seems to be all right.
I mean, putting her life back in order.
Nut I noticed something about her this morning.
She has kind of a desperate facade, holding everything back in.
Yeah, that's Sarah.
Ne strong, be brave, don't show your sorrow.
The important thing for now is that Krystle is being a fantastic friend to her.
Yes, but Krystle is a new friend.
Now, you, you're an old friend.
I think you could help Sarah more than anyone.
Oh! - How do you like riding my horse? - Oh, she is wonderful.
I'm from just outside Laramie, what's your excuse? - For what? - For being such a good rider.
I thought you said you were from Dayton, Ohio.
Heh.
Yes, but I spent every summer on my grandparent's farm.
Up at the crack of dawn.
Helping with breakfast and some chores.
And then my reward of rewards was riding all afternoon and helping out in the stable.
As a matter of fact, I helped birth this horse I'm on, a couple years ago.
She is a beauty.
Oh, God.
I'll tell you, I can't tell you how many foals I helped birth in my lifetime.
You know, we've got a lot in common, Krystle.
In fact In fact, what? That night, that terrible night in California, when I got off the plane with Nlake and they were rushing Cathy to the hospital, and I saw you standing, waiting for us, it was dark, but I could see your eyes.
It was like the sister I never had before.
The closest friend left to me on this earth.
And that's what you've been to me since, a sister.
Yes, we do have a lot in common.
Like our beautiful little daughters.
-YELLS.]
[lNAUDlBLE DlALOGUE.]
- Dr.
Edwards.
- Dana.
Thank you.
- Would you like some coffee? - No, thank you.
I would like to thank you for agreeing to see me before you left for home.
You said you needed my help.
That's what doctors are for.
Even ageing doctors like me, huh? [CHUCKLES.]
What I want most from you is for you to be honest with me.
I've always tried to be that.
When we spoke earlier, you didn't seem to approve of my marriage to Adam.
Why not? I don't disapprove.
I'm simply, well, caught by surprise.
Oh, I don't think that's all there is to it.
In fact, I know it isn't.
That's a rather rude and uncalled for remark, Dana.
Well, is that why you look upset right now? Or is it because I've hit a nerve? I have to know, Dr.
Edwards.
Well, there a few things I know about him that That, what? I'm afraid you'll have to get your answers from him.
As Adam's physician, I must respect rules of confidentiality.
As Adam's physician.
When we were in high school, I remember Adam missed a semester.
Now, people said that he was having a breakdown and that you were treating him for it.
Is that what's happening again? Please tell me, Dr.
Edwards.
I'm talking about Adam.
I'm talking about a lifetime of loving him.
I'm sorry, Dana.
It's Adam who'll have to answer your questions.
You're not helping me at all.
I am drowning with him, and you're just standing by watching it.
I wish I could help, but I can't.
[SlGHS.]
I don't have time for any of this.
I'm very worried about my son.
You'd better take the time, Alexis.
[SlGHS.]
All right.
You have exactly one minute.
Nut I didn't agree to keep you posted on my business moves.
We're not talking about just any moves here.
I'm the one who introduced you to Dirk Maurier, remember? Yes, and I repaid you on the Four Crossings Deal, and I owe you nothing.
Alexis, nobody dumps me that easily.
Now, I have hard information that you and Maurier are negotiating without me, and I want in.
Oh.
What sort of hard information? Who've you been paying to spy on me? It's true then, isn't it? Your minute is up, and you and I are finished.
Through.
- Through? MlCHAEL: Oh, yes.
Nut I told her not to be so sure about that.
Listen, Alexis Colby will use you till she's done, and then she'll spit you out.
I know.
She did it to me once.
Once.
Nut she'll never do it again.
So, Culhane, you're ready to talk business.
That's right.
I wanna be a part of whatever deal you have in mind.
- Are you sure about that? - Very sure.
Because it'll cost.
Don't worry about the money.
I know where I can get my hands on plenty.
Now, wait a minute.
You're telling me that you suddenly wanna sell back to me - your share of the crater.
Why? - Why not? - I have no further quarrels with you.
- I see.
Nesides, those natural gas deposits at the crater could be very important to Colorado, as well as the rest of the country.
And you, Michael Culhane, don't wanna stand in my way.
- Is that it? - Exactly.
So I'm willing to take what you offered me for my share in the crater, and get out of your way.
Is there a problem? There usually is where you're concerned, with members of my family or in business.
Look, I have been out of Fallon's life for a long time now.
And as for Amanda, she's gone off to Europe.
I don't think it's necessary to get into that history.
Let's talk about now.
You have muscled your way to where you are today by using everybody.
What I really should do is to bring you back down and make you crawl.
Nut I'll be honest with you, I'm so happy to get you out that I'll pay you exactly what it cost you in the first place.
That's very generous of you.
Yes, I know.
Now, I'm busy.
Get the hell out of here.
[DOOR OPENS THEN CLOSES.]
[SlGHS.]
All right if I come in? Yes.
Of course.
Do you forgive me for last night and this morning? Of course I do.
You are so lovely when you accept an apology.
[CHUCKLES.]
Has anyone ever told you that before? - Oh, dozens of men.
- I'm jealous.
And I'm miserable for what I've put you through.
For what you're putting yourself through, Adam.
Dana, please, let's not start that again.
All right, all right.
It's just that I'm not the only one who's worried about you.
Dr.
Edwards is What about him? Nothing.
Have you been talking to that old man? I saw him for a few minutes today.
What did he say about me? What did he tell you? Nothing.
- If you have a secret, Adam-- - There are no secrets.
Will you ever understand that? There is something wrong, Adam, and it scares me.
Can you understand that? Whatever it is, don't you think it's about time you shared it with me? Please.
Something is bothering me, and it scares me too.
Nut I don't want you to worry about it.
Because I swear, l-- I'm gonna make it right.
I am.
"Cinderella and the prince lived happily ever after on his ranch.
" I thought they lived in a castle.
Well, he had both.
How about that? - You're funny, Mrs.
Curtis.
- Ha, ha.
So are you.
Hello, sweetheart.
- Hi, Mommy.
- Hi.
Sarah, where's Mrs.
Johnson? She asked me to sit with this little treasure while she went on a coffee break.
Actually, it's been a pretty long break.
Nut I haven't minded.
We've had a great time, haven't we? Yes.
Mrs.
Johnson, I'd like to speak to you outside for a minute.
Now, what kind of animals do you suppose Cinderella and What seems to be the problem, Mrs.
Carrington? You were due back here quite a while ago.
You know my daughter might need professional care at any given moment.
I'm aware of that, Mrs.
Carrington.
I'm also aware your daughter was not alone, that I was in the kitchen, not off in town somewhere.
And that if there'd have been a problem, Mrs.
Curtis would have called me on the intercom.
I am not interested in the geography of this house.
I'm only interested in my daughter's health.
I won't overstay my break again.
Please don't.
We could lay the pipe here, and we could bridge it over here.
- You don't wanna do that.
- What don't I wanna do? - Leave the pipe exposed.
- It's solid steel.
Why not? It's environmentally offensive.
Oh, that's right.
I forgot I was working with a woman engineer.
Well, why don't we just paint it a shade of pastel? Ooh, sounds great.
You could even have one of your groupies pick out the shade.
- Ha.
What groupies? - Oh, come on.
Those girls that drive out here every afternoon to ogle you.
Oh, yeah, them.
Well, maybe they think I'm kind of cute.
You don't? Eh.
Ha, ha.
Looks don't do it for me.
Brains do.
Well, I'm all for brains, but the idea of a little sex never turned me off.
Come here.
[CHUCKLES.]
Uh, Sammy Jo.
Ahem.
What are you doing here? Leslie has the other key to Dana's apartment and we need it to start the decorations.
Oh.
Sorry I forgot to give it to you.
Well, ahem, ladies, if you'll excuse me, I've gotta see a man about a pipe.
- Thank you.
- Do you mind if I get personal? How personal? Why did you and Clay break up? Well, it's kind of complicated.
Nut I guess you could say I fell out of love with him.
Ah.
Did he, uh, also fall out of love with you? I think you should ask him that yourself.
Maybe sometime when you're not working.
Oh.
Sammy Jo, it was just a kiss.
Relax.
Our marriage was annulled.
Clay is back in circulation.
I'm perfectly happy with my life right now.
See you tonight.
[SlGHS.]
- Hello? - I'm sorry, Mr.
McVane isn't here-- Mr.
McVane is expecting me.
I see.
Thank you.
Mr.
Torrance.
[CHUCKLES.]
You're wasting your time.
Those negatives you're looking for, they're certainly not in here.
I'll kill you, McVane.
I see you've been drinking.
Heh.
I hope it wasn't my better stock.
Damn you.
Let me tell you something.
That evidence that I described to you, along with that there's a letter to my attorney.
If anything ever happens to me, how long do you think your secret will be safe? Now, with your cooperation, I'll keep your secret.
Nut no matter what you do for the rest of your life, it won't make you a Carrington.
You never were, Mr.
Torrance.
You never will be.
[DOOR CLOSES.]
[DOOR OPENS.]
- Oh, Dex.
- Just hold on, Sarah.
Hold on.
- Nack home yesterday-- - I know, I know, I heard.
But that's past now.
You're here.
You're safe.
I feel safe, I really do, l You'll be living here for a while.
I don't know how long exactly, but I'll stay here for a while.
Good.
Now, how about having dinner with an old friend tonight? Go out? I might not be the best company in the world.
You'll sure be the best-looking.
I mean, I didn't campaign for you to be prom queen for nothing.
Except I didn't win.
The vote was rigged.
Okay for tonight? Yes.
You're sweet, Dex.
Sammy Jo, what are you doing here? - I came by to pick up Dana's present.
- Ah.
What did you get her? It's a negligee from the hotel boutique.
Yes, they do do rather good things there.
Sammy Jo, since you're here, I wanna ask you something about, uh About Steven living with you.
Go on.
You don't usually hesitate about anything.
- What exactly is it you wanna know? - Is he happy? He's always happy when he's with Danny.
You know that.
What about when he's with you? We share a son, Alexis.
We share a lot of good memories.
Oh, I know, but is that all you're sharing? I don't think that's your business.
Steven's happiness is always my business, Sammy Jo.
Anyway, I'll see you later at the shower.
If I'm a bit late, tell the others that I'll be along as soon as I can.
[SlREN WAlLlNG.]
Now, the first thing, hand me that flask.
And then let me see your licence and registration.
SAMMY JO: That's so pretty.
You have a wonderful touch, Dominique.
Thank you.
You know, when Nrady and l were married, we were so poor the only bridal shower I had was What is that old cliche? "Happy is the bride that the sun shines on.
" Well, we were happy.
We were for a while.
Then it all fell apart.
Well, that's the way it goes.
You never know how a marriage will end.
That's right, you never do know, do you? Sammy Jo, have I said something to upset you? Necause I didn't mean to.
No, no, it's not that.
It's just that I've gotta tell someone.
Well, what is it? It's about Steven.
I'm sure you know he's living at the ranch with Danny and me.
- Yes.
- Nut we sleep in separate rooms.
And I want it to work out differently.
It worked with us before, and we were very happy.
And Steven is Danny's father.
Fathers and mothers.
I know what you mean, Sammy Jo.
It's a very special bond between a man and a woman, parenthood.
Unfortunately, sometimes, that bond just isn't enough.
And believe me, Sammy Jo, I know what I'm talking about.
[DOOR OPENS.]
DOMlNlQUE: Oh! Hi.
Oh.
- Hi.
- Thanks.
DOMlNlQUE: It's beautiful.
- Doesn't it look great? DOMlNlQUE: Oh, yes.
- Oh.
She looks delicious.
SAMMY JO: Yeah.
LESLlE: I hope she loves it.
SAMMY JO: Oh, she will.
Good evening.
Thank you, George.
- Hello, darling.
- Hi.
- Have a good day? - Mm-hm.
- How's Kristina? - Oh, she's fine.
And very happy to hear that her daddy - was coming home from work early.
- Ha, ha.
- Krystle.
- Yes, Sarah, what is it? - Kristina's developed a rash.
- A rash? The doctor said to watch for anything out of the ordinary.
Let's have a look.
Mrs.
Johnson, how long has Kristina had this rash? - It appeared a little while ago.
- A little while ago? KRYSTLE: Dr.
Chadway, please.
Krystle Carrington calling.
Mrs.
Johnson, it's now 5:00, there haven't been any notations made on this chart since noon.
I have my own way of doing things, Mr.
Carrington.
Does that also include disregarding any vital information on my daughter? Well, that's gross negligence.
I have not been negligent.
I know what's best for this child.
Nut I am not prepared to take this kind of abuse.
In that case, you won't mind leaving this house.
No, I'll be more than happy to go.
The doctor will be right over.
Darling, I'm sorry to have created such a big to-do.
I've been wanting to do that all day.
- Thank you for being here, Sarah.
- I'm happy to be useful.
I'll go downstairs and wait for the doctor.
- All right, sweetheart, back in bed.
- All right, Daddy.
NLAKE: All right, now close your eyes, little one.
I forgot to ask.
Ask what? How much do I owe you for bailing me out? - Call it a gift.
- Heh.
To celebrate what, Steven? Oh, Dana's shower.
My secret present to the bridegroom.
Accepted? - Adam? - Hm? Yeah, thanks.
Good girl.
Nack under the covers.
There's really nothing to worry about.
The rash is just a minor irritation.
Oh.
That's good to hear.
You can understand why we were so concerned, doctor.
Yes, she's been overly tired lately.
That's normal for a recovery pattern.
She's doing beautifully.
That's very reassuring.
Nut call me if anything seems at all unusual.
Yes.
Yes, we will.
Thank you.
I'll walk you out.
I'll be back in a minute, all right? All right, Mommy.
I'll stay with her, Mrs.
Carrington.
She'll be just fine.
Won't you, darling? Hm? Of course you will.
Krystle, how is Kristina? - The doctor said she's all right.
- Oh, good.
I'm calling the nurses' registry.
We'll need someone right away.
If you have any problem trying to find somebody, I'd be happy to watch her.
And if you wanna go to Dana's shower-- No.
I wouldn't feel comfortable anywhere but here tonight.
But thank you for the offer.
She's very special to me, Krystle.
She's all that I have left of Cathy.
I know.
Oh, we'll miss you.
Yes, I'll tell the others.
Nye-bye, darling.
Well, Krystle sends her apologies, but she's had a problem with Kristina.
Oh, nothing serious, I hope.
No, she said it was minor, but she just didn't wanna leave her.
- Alexis, what did you buy for Dana? - Mm? Oh, I bought her the most beautiful vermeil dressing-table set that used to be owned by Madame Pompadour.
Louie XV's mistress? Oh, that's very good, Dominique, very good.
Actually, I heard that the old man wasn't such a great lover after all.
Of course, she told you this herself.
Ha-ha-ha.
No, dear, I'm very friendly with her great-great-great-great niece, the Comtesse de Vigny, and she's an expert on the family of Louis XV.
Oh.
WOMAN: Shh, shh! ALL: Surprise! Goodness.
Somebody should've warned me, I would've been more prepared.
Come on, everybody.
Dana, have a glass of champagne.
Everybody have champagne? - Dominique, there's one for you.
DOMlNlQUE: Thank you.
One for you.
Has everybody got a glass? All right, now I would like to propose a toast.
To the lovely girl who is soon going to marry my handsome son.
- Cheers.
ALL: Cheers.
Thank you.
DOMlNlQUE: May you have a long and wonderful life together.
DANA: Oh, thank you.
[WOMEN GlGGLlNG AND CHATTERlNG.]
How you feeling? Sober, almost.
A bit more coffee would help.
Adam Why are you on this binge? I don't wanna talk about it, Steven.
Well, I wanna talk about something.
I'm glad you called me today.
Are you? Neing dragged away from what you were doing, having to bail me out.
No, I am glad.
I told Dana how we've always been at each other's throats, treated each other more as strangers than as brothers, but how that's changing.
What did Dana say about me? [LAUGHS.]
- Nothing too bad.
- Steven, would you excuse me? - I've just remembered something.
- Where are you going? There's something I've gotta do.
[DOOR OPENS THEN CLOSES.]
What can I tell you? It's not the first time I've been stood up.
I'm sorry, I know I forgot about dinner, but with the excitement about Kristina this afternoon-- Come on, I understand.
I understand.
Look, we still have time to make it to that steak house.
- Uh - Sarah.
All right, as long as it's not too far from here.
I don't wanna be away from Kristina too long, okay? I'll go get dressed.
[SlGHS.]
Dana, are you sure you don't need any help cleaning up? I told everybody else, I'm going to tell you now, no.
Nut thank you for coming and for the wonderful gift.
Ha, ha.
You're welcome.
Enter the lucky bridegroom.
Hello, Adam.
Well, I'd better get going.
I'll see you both later.
They didn't believe me, but the shower really was a surprise.
Is that what they didn't believe, Dana? What do you mean? Who else have you been talking to about me? Nesides Dr.
Edwards, I mean, and Steven and God knows who else.
What? You been talking to my father too, about how strangely I've been acting.
And told Mother I've turned into a drunk.
- Adam, I don't know what it is-- - It won't work, Dana.
I can't pretend everything's fine between us when I know it's not.
Have you stopped loving me? Is that what's really wrong? ADAM: I don't know.
I'm not sure anymore.
I only know that I'm being smothered by you, by everybody.
And I've got to get away.
- Adam, if it's the wedding-- - Wedding? What wedding? There's not gonna be any damned wedding.
