Scene 1

Viki: Clint! Oh, hi. Well, this is a surprise -- come in.

Clint: Thanks. I was hoping to catch you at home.

Viki: Yeah. You look like you're all dressed up. We don't have a date, do we?

Clint: No. We don't.

Viki: But?

Clint: But I do have plans, with Dorian.

Scene 2

Dorian: Roxy, I'm sorry, but that is polish on the bottom of my hand.

Roxy: Oh, I'm sorry. So, did your regular manicurist die or something?

Dorian: She's in labor.

Roxy: I was close, huh?

Dorian: You are going to use topcoat, aren't you?

Roxy: Oh, yeah. You know, I'm -- I'm just a little nervous because the last time I had a highfalutin client like you, the circus was in town.

Dorian: Oh. I can see why.

Roxy: I'm sorry about this place. I know it looks a little schlocky. I think I should've desisted on more pink, you know?

Dorian: Pink -- yes, pink. More pink would've made all the difference.

Roxy: Well, how about if I offer you a free bikini wax -- what do you say?

Dorian: Oh. Another time, perhaps. I -- I have to get ready for a date tonight.

Roxy: You're trying to bag another husband, huh?

Dorian: Huh. Roxy, it's just a date.

Roxy: Hey, I can see by the way your cheeks are turning red, I think it's more than just another date.

Dorian: Huh.

Scene 3

Viki: So you have a date with Dorian. Hmm, it was nice knowing you.

Clint: I didn't mean to open with that -- it just came out.

Viki: Well, it was honest. So, where are you going?

Clint: Just going out to dinner.

Viki: Oh. Better get a move on because you do not want to keep her waiting.

Clint: Hmm --

Viki: Something else?

Clint: Viki, I didn't come here to push this in your face.

Viki: Hey, come on. At least I know where I stand.

Clint: I -- I just think it's best that everything be out in the open and, you know, with our relationship I -

Viki: Clint --

Clint: I just thought you should know...

Clint: What? We're friends, right? We're good friends. We're the parents of great kids -- that's it, for the moment, hmm?

Clint: Ok, you're jealous. Now, the question is, are you jealous because I'm going out with another woman or are you jealous because I'm going out with Dorian Lord?

Scene 4

Viki: Ok. I am not jealous. I am not jealous you're going out with Dorian lord, I'm not jealous you're going out -- sorry!

Clint: I wasn't trying to make you jealous.

Viki: So why are you here?

Clint: Because I didn't want you to hear it from somebody else.

Viki: Why not? Who cares?

Clint: I think that you care.

Viki: No, I don't care. It's your life, it's your decision.

Clint: Yeah, I know that, and I'm just trying to keep you in the loop -- that's all.

Viki: But I don't want to be in the loop. It's none of my business. Clint, you can do whatever -- you can get -- do -- you can go out with anyone you want to.

Clint: Oh. Then I shouldn't be worrying about you?

Viki: No. Why would -- why are we even having this discussion?

Clint: Talk about mixed signals.

Viki: What does that mean?

Clint: Where was this laissez faire attitude of yours a few months ago, huh?

Viki: I don't know what you're talking about.

Clint: When you couldn't wait to find out what was going on between me and Dorian, and then you tell me what you thought about it.

Viki: Ok, ok. Here, let -- let me put this very succinctly, ok? You have a free pass. You go out with Dorian, you go out with anybody you want to -- you won't hear a word about it from me.

Scene 5

Dorian: Oh!

Roxy: Clint Buchanan? Viki must be plotzing with jealousy.

Dorian: Viki has no right to plotz about anything. They're no longer married.

Roxy: Well, according to my kid Natalie, Viki is working her mojo on the Clintster, and he's got a soft spot for that kind of hoodoo.

Dorian: Huh -- trust me, Roxy. I've got this situation well in hand.

Roxy: Yeah, I'm sure you do. But, Dorian, if you need a leg up, I know this little old blind lady on Esther street and she sells potions out of a grocery cart.

Dorian: Do you think my nails are dry yet?

Roxy: Oh, let me put that -- that spray --

Dorian: Oh, yes.

Roxy: That quicky, quicky no-sticky dry.

Dorian: Wait, wait --

Roxy: Listen, if you don't like the idea of the potions, what about hypnotism? Nigel -- you know, Asa's butler? Well, he and I were hypnotized by accident a couple of years ago.

Scene 6

(Roxy's is held up by gunmen)

Dorian: Oh, dear.

Man: Come on.

Dorian: Wh-- what? How dare you!

Man: You shut the hell up or we'll take your gold fillings.

Dorian: Look, they are going to hunt you down! They're going to find you.

Roxy: Look, you know, you got to forgive my friend because she's got roulette's syndrome and she just can't shut shut her mouth.

Man: The ring.

Marcie: What my wedding ring. No this is my wedding ring.

Man: Come on! Give me --

Marcie: No! I'm not giving you my ring!

Man: Give me the ring!

Michael: Give them the ring, Marcie.

Marcie: I'm sorry. It's not -- it's not coming off.

Michael: Don't you touch my wife.

Marcie: No, Michael -- Michael!

Scene 7

Dorian: My regular manicurist is in labor, believe it or not, so I thought I would try Roxy's for a change.

John: Dr. Lord, I just need to talk to you --

Dorian: But I can tell you one thing -- I will never, ever again come to angel square.

John: Can we please just focus here, all right? I need a description of the perps.

Dorian: Oh, the perps?

John: Yes. Dorian -- um -- they ripped the necklace off me -- well, he had tiny, little, beady eyes.

Roxy: It would have been no big deal if that rich witch hadn't egged them on.

Natalie: All right. Roxy we need to know exactly what they looked like.

Roxy: Ok.

Dorian: And a beak of a nose --

Roxy: Big shnozz, a lot of character, very sexy.

Dorian: An ill-fitted suit, probably made of some cheap polyester blend.

Roxy: He had this cool leather jacket with the number 97 on it.

John: All right, everyone. I want you to take a look at some mug shots back at the station.

Dorian: The station? Oh, absolutely not. I'm sorry. I happen to have a dinner date tonight.

Dorian: No, I will not be late. I cannot be late. I -- I refuse to change my plans.

John: You' g t the station, Dorian.

Natalie: Listen, I'll -- I'll walk back with you. It'll only take a minute.

Dorian: Well, I guess I have no choice.

John: You catch on quick. Thompson, you take the ladies back to the station, please. Thank you.

Michael: Listen, honey, why don't I meet you at the station?

Marcie: No.

Michael: Yes. I need to talk to my brother.

Marcie: Fine. Look, you make sure that you take him with you, ok?

John: Of course.

Marcie: Ok.

John: You ok?

Marcie: Yeah, I'm ok.

John: All right.

Marcie: Bye, honey. I love you, ok?

Michael: I love you, too.

Marcie: Thanks.

John: You all right?

Michael: Yeah.

John: Hey, look, I'll handle this, mike. Can you give me something to go on?

Michael: Oh -- I got a pretty good look at one of the guys.

John: All right.

Michael: The guy that took Marcie's ring. You know, I go through so much to make sure that my family is safe and protected, and look. You know, I almost lose my wife in a random act of violence.

John: What are you talking about? What have you done, mike?

Scene 8

Clint: Oh. I did not know that I needed permission to date Dorian.

Viki: Oh, please don't put words in my mouth.

Clint: Well, believe me, that is not why I came over here.

Viki: Well, of course it is. You asked the woman out on a date, you feel guilty.

Clint: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. That's not how it happened. I did not ask her out. She asked me.

Viki: Whatever! The point is, you're going out with her, right? And for some bizarre reason, you feel im-- impelled to inform me of that fact.

Clint: I wanted to be sure --

Viki: Of?

Clint: I wanted to be sure that you'd be ok with it.

Viki: Do you want me to be ok with it?

Clint: I don't know. I'm not sure. And neither are you. But you are hell-bent not to give me a direct answer, right?

Viki: Well, hell, you haven't asked me a direct question just until now. And now that you have, I can give you my answer. And it's cool, it's wonderful, it's fine, it's peachy keen. Have a great time.

Viki: Now, you had better answer that, because it's probably Dorian wondering where you are.

Clint: It's Dorian. Yes, Dorian?

Dorian: Clint, I am so sorry, but I have to change our plans a bit.

Clint: Ok.

Dorian: Would you be able to pick me up at the police station instead of my house?

Clint: The police station? Is everything all right?

Dorian: No. I was robbed at gunpoint.

Clint: Dorian, I'll be right there.

Viki: Boy, your date with her is off to a flying start!

Clint: All right, I got to go.

Viki: I'll show you to the door.

Clint: Viki, if at any point this becomes too complicated --

Viki: Oh, Clint, you had better hurry up, because you know, Dorian might decide to go after Bo -- I mean, while she's at the police station.

Clint: This is not going to work.

Scene 9

(included for Dorian and Clint mentions)

Nora: Hi.

Viki: Nora!

Nora: I'm so sorry I didn't call --

Viki: Oh --

Nora: But I was driving by your street, and I thought, what the heck, I'll just try and take a chance.

Viki: Oh, I'm so happy to see you.

Nora: I was on my way to Asa's, and I realized, you know what? I never thanked you for that wonderful care package you sent Matthew and me.

Viki: Oh, for heaven's sakes, that was nothing.

Nora: Oh, it was lovely.

Viki: If you need anything at all, please let me know.

Nora: Oh, god -- we're not needing for anything. -- Asa has completely showered Matthew with candy and video games and horses and small European countries.

Nora: Oh, god. And Renée -- she keeps buying me clothes. Every time I go back there, there's a new jacket or sweater or shoes, and -- I may have arrived with nothing, but when I leave there, it's going to be with a caravan of moving vans.

Viki: It's getting to you, isn't it -- living with them?

Nora: Oh, god. You're the second person that said that to me today. You know, they're wonderful. They really are. It's -- I'm very difficult to live with, Viki.

Viki: Oh, no --

Nora: I am. I'm just so used to it being just Matthew and me, you know? And then -- I really like my own space.

Viki: Well, you get used to that, don't you?

Nora: Yeah, I do. I just crave a night on the couch with a pint of ice cream and my fuzzy slippers.

Viki: I don't think Asa would mind.

Nora: Are you kidding? I wouldn't want to disillusion him about me after all these years.

Viki: You couldn't possibly do that. He adores you.

Nora: He has been wonderful. He really has been. He's like a father to me, if you want to know the truth, and he's just -- and Clint -- he's such a gentleman. When Asa gets a little overbearing, Clint will just step in and gallantly shift the focus over to him.

Viki: Oh. How does he do that?

Nora: Oh, well, this morning, it was starting, and all Clint had to do was say Dorian's name, and that did it -- bam!

Viki: Isn't that strange? Just before you arrived, Clint was here. That's what we talked about -- Dorian.

Nora: Um -- you -- you know that they're sort of seeing each other, right?

Viki: "Seeing each other" -- they've had a few dates, that's all.

Nora: Oh, well -- ok. And how do you feel about that?

Viki: I fear for his life.

Nora: Oh. Anything else?

Viki: Hmm -- I don't know. Other than the fact that I'm insanely jealous? No, not really.

Scene 10

Marcie: Commissioner, would it be ok if I go and call Michael? Because he should really be here.

Dorian: Bo, do you really need all three of us to stay here at the station?

Bo: Natalie, get --

Natalie: Right.

Roxy: Well, at least I get to spend some time with my baby.

Bo: Ok.

Dorian: Bo --

Bo: Now, what -- don't you want your property recovered, Dorian?

Dorian: Of course I do, but I have great confidence in your crack task force that they'll -- they'll catch the thieves without my help.

Bo: What is so important that you can't put it off for 20 minutes and just look at a couple of mug shots?

Clint: Dorian, is everything ok?

Dorian: Oh, Clint. Thank goodness you're here. Oh, it's been horrid, absolutely horrid.

Scene 11

Nora: So, you're jealous of Clint with Dorian?

Viki: Well, he's not "with" her, you know.

Nora: Ok, seeing each other, dating -- whatever it is they're doing.

Viki: Yeah. It's ugly, isn't it?

Nora: No, not really. No, thank you. Ugly? Ugly is finding out your husband's using you as a beard. Ugly is a year worth of bedpans. Jealousy, piece of cake, because you can do something about it.

Viki: Like what?

Nora: Well -- do you want Clint?

Viki: He deserves a hell of a lot better than Dorian.

Nora: But the question was, do you want Clint? Because if you do, you're going to have to take off your gloves and knock her back to the stone age. You're going to have to fight for him.

Scene 12

Dorian: I'm so glad you're here, because now maybe Bo will let me leave, and I can go home, change my clothes, and we can go on our date.

Bo: No, no, Dorian is going to be stuck here for a while because we need her help to find the guys that robbed foxy Roxy's.

Clint: All right --

Dorian: Bo, I have had a really long and terrible day.

Clint: Bo, the -- the mug shots -- where are they?

Bo: They're being set up right outside right now.

Clint: Ok.

Bo: Natalie's doing it. Excuse me. You know, I've got work that I've got to do.

Clint: All right, Dorian, I want you to take a few minutes and look at these photographs.

Dorian: But, Clint, what about our date?

Clint: Well, I'm not going to go anywhere without you.

>> On the next "one life to live" --

Nora: Do you wish Clint weren't seeing other women because you're falling in love with him again?

Dorian: Either she hits the road, or I do.

Nash: Nothing you can say is going to stop me from telling him the truth.

Natalie: Is there something that you want to say to me?

Scene 1

(The Palace)
Clint: Get down! Both of you, get down.

John: Oh, got him!

Marty: Miles!

Natalie: John, John!

Clint: No, get on the floor!

John: Is everybody ok?

Clint: Yeah, I got his gun, John.

Viki: Yes, I think we're fine.

Dorian: Speak for yourself. Blair?

Blair: I'm fine. Really.

Dorian: Blair! Blair? Let me see. Oh.

Blair: Oh --

Scene 2

John: How is she?

Dorian: I see an entrance and an exit. I think it's an in-and-out wound.

John: The ambulance is only a few minutes out. Yell if you need anything.

Dorian: Hang on, Blair. Can you� open your eyes for me? Blair? Blair, open your eyes.

Clint: That should hold them till backup arrives.

John: Thanks for the assist, Clint. I couldn't have done it without you.

Clint: Yeah, I haven't roped a steer in a while, but I guess you never forget.

John: Yeah.

Marty: Hold -- hold still, ok? I just -- I need to clean this cut.

Miles: Is Blair going to be ok?

Marty: I don't know. I hope so. I think the bleeding's stopped, so I'm going to -- I'm going to get you a Band-Aid.

Miles: No, that's not important. Help Blair.

Marty: Look, Dorian's with her and she's a doctor, ok? And I don't think she would take help from me anyway.

Miles: Why not?

Marty: Long story.

Miles: Yeah, I know. You keep referring to it.

Marty: It's just not something I like to talk about, ok?

Miles: Ok.

Marty: No, maybe next time, we can, you know, get the rabbit.

Miles: Crazy night. I guess I got more of what I'm asking for. More life experiences.

Marty: Ah. Huh. These life experiences include getting held up at gunpoint? I don't think that's what you're looking for.

Miles: No, but I could get used to some others.

Natalie: Yeah, where -- where is the ambulance? Ok, you said that five minutes ago. We need it now. We have a woman shot here.

Viki: Blair, can you hear me, honey?

Dorian: Viki, would you please stay out of this? And I mean that.

Blair: Hey.

Dorian: Hey.

Blair: What happened?

Dorian: I will answer that for her. You fainted, honey.

Blair: Why?

Dorian: Because you walked in on a robbery in progress. The gun went off.

Blair: I was shot?

Dorian: Shh, shh, shh. Yes.

Blair: Oh.

Dorian: I'm afraid so. Can I have some more clean napkins here?

Natalie: I'm on it.

Dorian: Thank you.

Viki: An ambulance is on its way.

Dorian: Well, thank you for that information, Viki. Now, I will allow you to be helpful, thank you.

Blair: Dorian, just --

Dorian: Shh, shh, shh, darling. I'm sorry, I'll rein it in. Look, press down on the wound like that, ok?

Blair: Easy. Yeah.

Dorian: Yes, and if the napkin fills with any more blood, you call me right away. Excuse me, Marty.

Marty: Yeah, is there anything I can do?

Dorian: Yes, absolutely. This may sound a little strange, but do you happen to have any antibiotics, alcohol? Towelettes on you?

Marty: No, but I can get some vodka from the bar. I'm sure that would help.

Blair: You? Over my dead body!
Scene 3

John: Read them their rights, and then book them.

Dorian: I'm going with her, ok? I'm not leaving your side, sweetheart.

Blair: Dorian --

Dorian: No, I will not.

Clint: All right, I'll go with you.

Viki: I'll -- I'll give you a lift.

John: What is it?

Miles: Is it ok if we take off?

John: Not until someone gets your statement. Excuse me. You hanging in there?

Marty: Sure.

John: You look a little shaken up.

Marty: No, I -- I'm fine. You know, getting used to being held up at gunpoint.

John: Not funny.

Marty: No, why don't you check on Blair? She's the one who got hurt. Look, John, I'm -- I don't mean to be rude. I just -- you saved the day. Thanks.

John: Just doing my job.

Natalie: Hey. How can I help?

John: They'll need your statement, but if you want to get out of here, I'll tell them to get it from you later.

Natalie: No, if you're sticking around, I'm sticking around.

John: I won't have a lot of time for you.

Natalie: That's ok, it doesn't matter. Look, we were in the middle of something, and you didn't get to say your piece.

John: It can wait.

Natalie: No. I have waited for a really long time, and I don't want to put my life on hold anymore. Our life.
Scene 4

(Llanview Hospital)

Michael: What do we got, guys?

EMT: Gunshot.

Dorian: It's an in-and-out wound, but I think she's getting a bit shocky.

Michael: Ok. Get her in here. Come on.

Dorian: Blair, I'm going to stay here with you --

Blair: Ok.

Dorian: No matter what, and Michael is here for you, too.

Blair: Good. He better be.

Dorian: Anything you want?

Blair: Yeah, get Todd, please.

Scene 5

(Dorian calling Todd)

Todd: Speak.

Dorian: Todd, it's Dorian. You've got to come to the hospital right now.

Todd: What's wrong? Is it one of the kids?

Dorian: No, no, no, no. The kids are fine. It's Blair. She's had an accident.

Todd: Uh -- I got to go to the hospital. Something happened with Blair.

Cristian: Hey, Mark, cover for me.

Scene 6

Blair: Did you call Todd?

Dorian: He hung up on me, but I -- I do believe he's coming over.

Michael: X-rays showed that there was no major damage to any of your arteries. Exit and entry wounds are clean. So you suffered no major damage.

Blair: Hmm.

Dorian: Thank God.

Michael: Yeah. We'll put you on a course of antibiotics, but -- and painkillers, as well, but I don't see any reason why you can't go home tomorrow.

Blair: Ok.

Dorian: Thank you.

Blair: Well, looks like you wasted a whole evening for nothing.

Dorian: What are you talking about?

Blair: I'm talking about your big date with Clint. I ruined it. I'm sorry. Robbers ruined it. Well, actually, it was ruined way before they arrived.

Scene 7

Viki: By the way, thank you.

Clint: For what?

Viki: Well, for what you did at the restaurant, you know, when you tackled that other gunman, you know. We're all very grateful, that's all. Thank you.

Clint: Oh -- it was more stupid than anything else. I just got so damn angry the way he threatened Dorian.

Viki: Right, Dorian.

Clint: You want to talk about it?

Viki: You mean, my crashing your dinner date?

Clint: Hmm, and insisting that I ditch Dorian for you.

Viki: Guess I kind of surprised you, didn't I?

Clint: That's putting it mildly, Viki.

Viki: Well, I -- I don't normally burst into restaurants demanding that the father of my children ditch his dinner date.

Clint: No. So why the sudden impulse?

Viki: I told you.

Clint: I think I need to hear it again.

Viki: Because I would like to see you, exclusively. And I think I need to know what you think.

Scene 8

Clint: How do I feel about dating you exclusively? Well, Viki, to be perfectly honest with you, I --

Todd: Viki, hey. What happened with Blair? Is she all right?

Viki: Oh -uh, yes. There was a robbery attempt at the palace, and she was hit by a stray bullet, but we have every --

Todd: Shot?

Viki: We have every reason to believe she's going to be fine. It was up here.

Todd: Ok. That's good. Well, I want to see her.

Clint: Well, Michael's examining her right now.

Todd: In here?

Clint: Yeah.

Todd: All right.

Cristian: Whoa, whoa. Slow down. Why don't you give him some time to look at her?

Todd: I'm sorry, are you a doctor?

Evangeline: Great.

Cristian: You can't just barge in there. It could upset her. It might not be good for her.

Todd: Since when do you care so much about Blair?

Todd: So what's the deal, Cristian? You got the hots for my wife again?

Scene 9

Cristian: You mean your ex-wife.

Todd: How is she?

Michael: Well, luckily, the bullet passed right through without doing any major damage. She's going to make a full recovery.

Viki: Well, that's good.

Clint: When can she go home?

Michael: Well, I'd like to keep her overnight for observation. So, sometime tomorrow.

Todd: I think I should see her now, if that's ok.

Michael: Tomorrow. She needs to rest. Well, if you have any more questions, you have my pager number.

Dorian: Thank you, Michael.

Clint: Dorian -- you look like you could use a rest, too.

Dorian: I am a bit exhausted.

Clint: You know, as it turned out, Viki and I took separate cars over here, so I could take you home, if that's ok.

Dorian: Clint, that's more than ok.

On the next "One Life To Live" --

Viki: Guess what he did?

Nora: I don't know.

Viki: He went home with Dorian.

Dorian: You're ending it with me, aren't you?

Blair: I thought you knew. I mean, you didn't?

Evangeline: Stop it!

John: There's something important I have to say, so you need to shut up and listen, ok?

Scene 1

Dorian: Why, there you are.

Clint: Dorian, what are you doing? And what is all this stuff?

Dorian: I'm just being a good hostess and bringing us after-dinner drinks.

Clint: Ah -- "after-dinner"? Did we make it through dinner? I don't think we did.

Dorian: It's a bit of a haze to me, too.

Clint: What are you doing?

Dorian: Hmm -- getting ready to have a drink.

Clint: Of tequila?

Dorian: Well, it's not just ordinary tequila -- oh, no. It is the most aged, pure form, made from the Agave plant. As I understand it, the Aztec Indians thought it had magical properties.

Clint: Trying to figure you out is like trying to catch the wind.

Dorian: Hmm.

Clint: Now, where did you learn all this stuff about tequila?

Dorian: Well, actually, I did spend quite a bit of time south of the border, but mas tarde with that. Tequila is supposed to be the one for -- I know, I said it -- whoo, whoo, whoo.

Dorian: It must be the tequila hitting me already, but it is supposed to be the one form of alcohol which is not a depressant, and believe me, that is the last thing I want tonight is for you or me to become depressed.

Clint: Well, I don't think you're upset enough to chug the worm that comes in the bottom of each bottle of that stuff.

Dorian: Who said anything about worms? Here's looking at you, cowboy. Bottoms up.

Scene 2
Nora: Viki, are you all right? You sounded so upset on the phone.

Viki: Yeah, well, I'm -- I'm a little upset, yeah.

Nora: Well, what happened?

Viki: Um -- I took your advice. Come in.

Nora: Well, ok.

Viki: I decided that I would get off my bottom and stop dithering around and act on my feelings

Nora: Well how did it go?

Viki: Oh, splendidly. Yes! I opened myself up and I told him exactly how I felt. And guess what he did.

Nora: I don't know.

Viki: He went home with Dorian.

Scene 3
Clint: I understand completely. It's been a hell of a night -- I mean, being held at gunpoint would unnerve anybody.

Dorian: Oh, no. No, that's not what upset me.

Clint: Are you kidding me?

Dorian: Hmm. Please, those were the same two guys who held up foxy Roxy's while I was having my manicure. What made me go there, I'll never know, but at any rate, when I saw it was them, that these morons had stayed in town and were pulling another heist, it -- the you know, their chosen metier was not their forte.

Clint: No, no -- then what did get you upset?

Dorian: I wasn't going to say anything, but since you asked -- Viki. I mean, really. Her barging in like that, trying to get between us -- that was pathetic.

Scene 4
Nora: What the heck is the matter with that man? God, as far as I'm concerned, no man in his right mind would choose Dorian over you.

Viki: Well, obviously he's not in his right mind! I mean, how could he be? He's seeing Dorian!

Nora: Oh, my god. You must be so angry with me.

Viki: No, no, absolutely not. I'm not angry with you -- I'm angry with myself. I'm just taking it out on you.

Nora: But why?

Viki: Because you're here.

Nora: Oh, no --

Viki: Why am I angry with myself? Because, Nora, I acted like an idiot!

Nora: How? By telling Clint that you had feelings for him?

Viki: Did you know that there was a robbery attempt at the palace tonight?

Nora: Yeah. My office called me and they caught the guys and then -- how do you know?

Viki: Well, let me tell you what I did! After we talked and you left, I decided I was not going to wait until tomorrow because who knows what could've happened between Clint and Dorian tonight, right? So I decided to take the proverbial bull by the horns and I headed over to the palace, assuming that that's where they were having dinner, and I was right -- they were there. So I walked over to their table and I asked Clint if I could speak with him privately, and he said, "no, I'm in the middle of dinner. " So, I said, "ok. I will simply say what I have to say right here and now. "

Nora: In the middle of his date? Ahem. How did he react?

Viki: He tried to get rid of me -- oh, yeah. Didn't seem to want to end his dinner with Dorian. It was humiliating! And then, of course, the robbers showed up, which I now realize was god telling me to keep my big mouth shut.

Viki: And then Blair got shot.

Nora: But I did hear that that wasn't serious.

Viki: No, she's going to be ok, yes, but we didn't know that then, and so not willing to leave well enough alone, I followed them all to the hospital so that I could continue on my mission!

Nora: You know, after what happened to Blair, you -- it just shows you that life can change in a second, you know?

Scene 5

Viki: Maybe. Anyway, at that point, I said to Clint -- I told him -- basically, I -- I asked him to be my boyfriend -- oh.

Nora: Your boyfriend -- huh. In those words?

Viki: Yeah. And he responded by taking Dorian home.

Nora: Oh.

Viki: Yeah.

Nora: I'm -- I'm sorry. I gave you some really bad advice --

Viki: Oh.

Nora: And you have every right to yell at me, but first, let me just go on the record by saying I never think it's a bad thing to put yourself out there.

Viki: Are you kidding? You're trying to tell me this was a learning experience?

Nora: No, you're right, never mind. Just let me have it -- I deserve it.

Viki: Oh, no, no, no, no! No, you will get your reward in heaven.

Nora: Huh.

Viki: In the meantime, Nora, what do I do? How do I hold my head up in public having given Dorian the upper hand?

Scene 6

Clint: I thought it took a lot of guts for Viki to do what she did.

Dorian: Right. It takes a lot of guts for a woman with her pedigree to be that rude.

Clint: I can't always stop you from going after Viki, but I can stop you when I'm in the room.

Dorian: What -- what -- what -- are -- are you condoning the way that she behaved tonight?

Clint: Do I have to remind you of some of the things that you did when Viki and I were together?

Dorian: Are you keeping score?

Clint: No, but righteous indignation is something that's never going to suit you.

was forthright. She -- she from the heart and no one will ever accuse you of doing that.

Dorian: Well, I do have a sense of decorum.

Clint: I said stop it. Just stop it.

Dorian: I'm sorry.

Dorian: I know that I am not a pillar of virtue.

Clint: Amen and again, amen.

Dorian: But if I am such a nightmare, what are you doing here?

Clint: I don't think that you're a nightmare except when you get on one of these anti-Viki tirades. Now, I've told you over and over just lea Viki

Dorian: But she refuses to leave me -- I'm sorry.

Clint: Let me tell you something. Viki did what she did because I have been pressing her to let me know how she feels about me. Now, her timing might have been off, but I'm thankful that she said what she said.

Dorian: I see. So I guess I misunderstood why you came home with me from the hospital. Huh. You're ending it with me, aren't you?

Scene 7
Clint: I wasn't talking about you and me. I was talking about Viki.

Dorian: Viki said that she didn't want you to see anybody else but her and you just said that you're glad she said what she said, so the implication is clear.

Clint: I'm thankful that Viki said what she did -- I just want to get things cleared up.

Dorian: There is a bond between the two of you. She's the mother of your children.

Clint: She's more than that and you know it.

Dorian: I'm not the one who is forcing you to make a choice, though it might be better if you did.

Clint: Do you really think so?

Dorian: Clint -- whew. I really care about you. You're very important to me, but I hate what this is doing to you, and to me.

Clint: But not to Viki.

Dorian: Oh, Viki's a big girl. She can take care of herself. But I think we're really good together. I don't think I've been unclear about that.

Clint: No, you have not been unclear and I appreciate that more than you realize. You know, when guys walk into a restaurant and they've got guns and then they point them at you? I don't know about you, but it makes me realize that -- how precarious life can be.

Dorian: Me, too.

Clint: Precarious and short. Dorian, I have to make a decision and I think that I have to make it tonight. Good night, Dorian.

Dorian: I suppose it would be pushy for me to ask if you'll be coming back.

Clint: Yeah. It would.

Scene 8
Viki: The thing is I really don't know if I want Clint that way at all. Not that it matters -- I mean, he's with Dorian.

Nora: Oh.

Viki: But I just -- I -- I don't know what to do next, you know? I'm just not used to feeling so exposed.

Nora: Well, I'm afraid the next move is probably Clint's.

Viki: Oh -- he's already made that, don't you think?

Nora: What's the matter with that man? What is he, insane or possessed?

Viki: Oh, "possessed" -- I like that. Thank you.

Nora: I'm sorry things didn't work out.

Viki: You know, it seemed like such a good idea at the time.

Nora: I guess hindsight's 20/20.

Natalie: Mom -- oh. I'm sorry. Am I interrupting?

Nora: Oh, no, honey.

Viki: Hi.

Nora: I'm just leaving.

Viki: Thank you for coming by.

Nora: Oh, I'm so sorry.

Viki: Oh, come on.

Nora: Next time you need some bad advice, just give me a call.

Viki: Ok.

Natalie: Good night.

Nora: See you, Natalie.

Natalie: So what was Nora giving you advice about?

Viki: Nothing important.

Natalie: Oh.

Viki: Ok, what is it?

Natalie: What?

Viki: Uh -- making you so happy.

Natalie: Am I that obvious?

Viki: Yeah, to me.

Natalie: Mom, my dreams are all finally coming true.

Scene 9

Natalie: Mom, john brought me to the palace to ask me to marry him!

Viki: Honey -- oh, my god, that's so wonderful!

Natalie: Well, yes, but we kind of got interrupted by the holdup.

Viki: Oh.

Natalie: So I took a rain check. But I -- you know, I didn't think this was going to happen. I mean, for months, I've been holding my heart back because john's been so secretive and irritable. In fact, I thought he was going to break up with me.

Viki: Darling, he loves you.

Natalie: I know. But that's not always enough, you know? Especially with a complicated guy like john.

Viki: But he's also a good man. And you have been a very good influence on him.

Natalie: So I guess we're going to be planning a wedding soon.

Viki: Oh, honey, that's wonderful. I'm so happy to hear this news tonight.

Natalie: Are you kidding? If I didn't tell anybody, I was going to explode. I just can't believe this is happening.

Viki: Oh, baby -- I could not be happier for you. You're going to spend your life with the man that you love. What could be better than that?

Scene 10
Dorian: Why did I tell him to make a decision? Oh, why didn't I just let nature take its course?

Dorian: Clint?

Scene 11

Dorian: Clint, you're back.

Clint: I didn't even get to the end of your driveway before I realized that I had made a decision, and I wanted you to be the first to know.

Scene 12

Natalie: You know, john and I -- we're just such two different people. I kind of thought we were going to end up splitting up. But when I saw the ring, I realized that everything was going to be ok.

Viki: I don't think that john is the kind of man who takes commitment lightly.

Natalie: Ain't that the truth.

Viki: And, darling, no one has been more loving and loyal than you, and I think when two people love each other, you know --- and -- I think you can overcome anything.

Natalie: Mom, you look sad.

Viki: Do I? Hmm.

Natalie: Yeah, is something wrong?

Viki: Ah. I -- I -- I discovered I still have feelings for your father.

Natalie: You do?

Viki: Mm-hmm.

Natalie: Well, that's great.

Viki: In a perfect world, it would be great, but this is not a perfect world. And unfortunately, I waited a little too long to be honest with him. And I ended up making an absolute fool of myself.

Clint: That is not true.

Natalie: Dad?

Viki: Oh, my god! What are you doing here?

Clint: Natalie, I need to talk to your mother.

Viki: So anyway, Natalie came by to tell me that she and john are getting engaged.

Clint: You're engaged?

Natalie: Oh, not yet. The stickup kind of got in the way, but not too long.

Clint: Oh, sweetheart, that's wonderful news! I'm so happy.

Clint: Congratulations. We're going to throw you the biggest party this town has ever seen.

Natalie: Ok, well, I don't know if john's going to go for that.

Clint: Oh, look -- we'll -- we'll get him to understand.

Natalie: Good luck. He's thicker than you think.

Natalie: Okay, well bye.

Clint: Congratulations.

Viki: So, what did you want to say?

Scene 13

Dorian: What have you decided, Clint?

Clint: First, you should know that this was not an easy decision. I mean, Viki and I are so simpatico about -- with so many things, and we're bound together by more than just our love for our kids. The tie that binds us together is very strong, despite our stormy past. And with you, the storms are very much in the present. You're like a wild bronco, and I'm not quite sure if you need to be tamed, and to be honest, I don't know if there' s a man who could do so, here I am. On one hand, there's Viki, who's mother earth personified. On the other hand, there's you, a woman who's as wild as the wind. And I realize that I can't live my life anymore hovering between the earth and the wind. So I have to make a choice. And, Dorian, I think you know what that choice is.

Dorian: Yes, Clint? Clint?

Dorian: Oh. Even in my fantasy, I don't know what his decision will be. Where's that tequila? Forget tequila. Where's the damn chocolate?

Scene 14

Viki: Look, you don't owe me any explanations, ok? I put you in a terrible position tonight. I apologize. I don't know what came over me.

Clint: Yeah, it was pretty much out of character for you to show up at the palace restaurant and say what you said.

Viki: You think?

Clint: And I kept wondering, why did you do it that way? If you had said the exact same thing to me while we were alone, I would have known that you meant what you were saying.

Viki: What? That was not a ploy.

Clint: When I asked you to share my life with you again and start a new adventure, you turned me down flat. Did you decide that's what you wanted, after all? Or did you decide that you just didn't want to see me with Dorian, and that's why you made that declaration of yours right in front of her?

Scene 15

Viki: Well, you know that I -- I don't want you with Dorian.

Clint: You hate Dorian.

Viki: So?

Clint: And I think you did what you did tonight because of how you felt about her, not how you felt about me.

Viki: Really? Is that what you think? I don't know.

Clint: Well, I need to know. Viki, I need to share my life with someone that I can count on, someone who wants me around, someone who cares about me. And Dorian has never been ambivalent about how she felt.

Viki: No, that, she has not, no.

Clint: I don't know what's going on. And I don't know what it is you want right now. But I'm pretty damn sure it's not me.

Viki: Well, I guess you would know how I feel. Anyway, I think it's perfectly clear that you and I have no future together.

Clint: I'm sorry if I hurt you.

Viki: I'll survive.

Clint: You always do.

Viki: Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Clint: Good night, Viki.

Viki: Good night, Clint.

Viki: Well, maybe I don't want your adventure. Maybe -- maybe I want one of my own.
