Scene 1
Dorian (on the phone with her attorney): What do you mean, you don't have an answer for me yet? But that was several hours ago. Byron, I am not happy, and you know what happens when I am not happy. No, I'm afraid I don't care that you and your colleagues are all overworked because of some merger. You know, what if I canceled that really fat retainer I pay you every month? How would that work for you? It --

[Knock on door]

Dorian: I want results, that's all at matters. "Bertil?" Someone's at the kitchen door, please answer it, I'm on an important phone call!

[Knock]

Dorian: Sorry to be -- oh, goodness gracious. Bert-- maybe her name isn't Bertil.

[Knock]

Dorian: Uh -- hello! Can somebody get the door, please? Now, Byron --

[Knock]

Dorian: By the end of today, I want to know what Langston Wilde's options are. It's -- a young girl's life depends on this. Thank you! Oh, for goodness sake. What? Oh.

Scene 2

Dorian (at the kitchen door): Why, Mr. Buchanan, aren't you a sight for sore eyes. Come on in. Oh, this has been un jour d'enfer. Since you don't speak french, I'll translate for you -- "a day from hell."

Clint: Well, there's no blood, no broken bones.

Dorian: What are you talking about?

Clint: You're upright, mobile, and you appear to be in charge of your faculties.

Dorian: I'm fine, thank you --

Clint: Uh-huh.

Dorian: Well, physically.

Clint: That's what I came over to find out. I had to make sure you weren't trapped by a fallen bookcase or something. But I see that you're not, so I'll let you recover from your hellish day.

Dorian: Hey -- maybe I don't want to recover. Maybe I want to use all this nervous energy on something more fulfilling. What do you say?

Clint: I say you're going to have to look elsewhere.

Scene 3

Dorian: You're angry at me -- for missing dinner with you last night.

Clint: I'm not angry that you missed dinner. I'm angry that you didn't bother to call to explain why. And then you try to charm your way out of it when I show up here.

Dorian: I see. Oh, Clint, how can you ever forgive me?

Clint: What is that supposed to mean?

Dorian: It was a lapse. I mean, I stood you up for dinner, and then I had the temerity not to call you for, what, 24 whole hours. I -- failing to -- to check in with you, to let you know about my whereabouts, to grovel!

Clint: Oh, you're in a great mood.

Dorian: Ha -- because that is what you really want -- an apology. You know, maybe if I really were underneath a bookcase, you would overlook it, but, oh, no. What could be going on in my little life that's more important than you are?

Clint: I don't know what you're talking about, but I'm talking about a two-minute phone call.

Dorian: No, you are talking about control, because you are like every other man on this planet.

Clint: Oh, no. Oh, no.

Dorian: Oh, yes, you go to bed with a woman, and you think -- aha! -- You've now got to be the sun in her orbit!

Clint: Don't you turn this into a feminist rant. I was worried about you.

Dorian: No, you weren't. Your nose was out of joint, so you came over here to put me in my place.

Clint: No, I didn't. I was worried about you, but I'm not now, now I'm mad.

Dorian: Oh, yes, and enjoying every second of it.

Clint: What is wrong with you?

Dorian: You tell me. You seem to have everything all figured out.

Scene 4

Clint: You want me to tell you what's wrong with you? Sweetheart, there's nothing wrong with you. Dorian, you're a delight, an absolute walk on the beach.

Dorian: You know, I'm going to say something to you and I hope you're not going to take it the wrong way. When I say that, I mean I hope you're not going to think that I'm apologizing.

Clint: Heaven forbid.

Dorian: I am working on something, something that is very important to me, and it is not working out the way I wanted it to work out.

Clint: All right -- what is it?

Dorian: I was going to tell you all about it. In fact, you were going to be my next phone call.

Clint: Oh, darn the luck! I was the next phone call -- I see.

Dorian: But you know something? Now I don't want to talk about it, and I especially do not want to talk about it to someone who barges into my house and -- and has the presumption to assume that I am wrong and who presumes that I have to explain myself to him? Ha!

Clint: Ok.Was not thrilled at being stood up, so I may not have been in the best of moods when I showed up, but when I walked in, I suddenly became the guy to blame -- why? Because I was the guy standing in front of you. Now, you're suffering from something, you're worried about it? And yet, I'm taking the brunt of it.

Dorian: Hmm -- that's your opinion.

Clint: Dorian, we're going together. We have slept together. God forbid I should expect something from you like a phone call, or should I just be happy to be on your freakin' to-do list?

Dorian: Of course. You're right.

Clint: You can't mean that -- you just said I was right.

Dorian: You are right. Maybe you and I -- we can't pull this thing off.

Scene 5

Clint: Ah -- you're just determined to blow everything out of proportion today.

Dorian: You know, when I first started to handle this problem, the one I was telling you was so important to me and isn't working out the way I wanted it to -- my every instinct told me to go solo.

Clint: Well, that's fine. Just call me and tell me that.

Dorian: And I'm sure if the tables were reversed, you would've called me.

Clint: Oh, yes, I would, thank you very much.

Dorian: But if you hadn't, it would've been no biggie for me because I don't need to know where you are and what you're doing 24/7. That would really be too much information.

Clint: No, it's not, dorian. It's called having a relationship.

Dorian: I didn't call you and I am very sorry. But you came over here in a really ugly mood, and I had to fight back.

Clint: So you're telling me, "aw, cowboy, it's not the end of the world"?

Dorian: It isn't the fight that's the problem. The problem is you seem to have these expectations of me, and I'm not sure I want that.

Clint: I have these expectations because I love you.

Scene 6

Dorian: Wow. I did not see that coming. You just said you love me. That's fighting dirty.

Clint: I was trying to get your attention.

Dorian: It worked.

Clint: This thing that you're working on, this problem that you're struggling with -- would you consider the possibility that it might be making you overreact?

Dorian: Yes, if you will consider the possibility that this relationship -- and, oh, I hate that word -- that this relationship has become so full of -- another word I hate -- expectations that it's -- it's --

Clint: It's what?

Dorian: It's -- oo much for you that I'm asking you to call me?

Dorian: It's -- it's just that we've come to this place without deciding that we wanted to be in this place. And I think we need to do some thinking -- both of us.

Scene 1

Dorian: Clint, I was going through a crisis. Ok, Todd is -- is chasing after Marcie so he can find his little boy, and his other two children, Starr and jack, are terribly confused. Blair is at her wit's end, and in the middle of all of that, I find out that Langston's parents are dead. Not only that, they've been dead for over a year --

Clint: Oh, god.

Dorian: And that poor little girl has been living alone in her house and not telling anyone.

Clint: I'm sorry. Poor Langston. Dorian, you were there for me all through Jessica's illness, all through Asa's decline and his eventual death. If I can't be there for you when you're overwhelmed, what's the point of us? What are we -- what are we doing here?

Langston: I'm not going anywhere with you.

Scene 2

Clint: Since I just told you I love you, I'm not questioning how I feel. I'm questioning how you treat me.

Dorian: And I'm questioning, who is it that's been filling your head with all of my shortcomings? I know that Viki is out of the country --

Clint: Oh, god --

Dorian: But I wouldn't put it past her to make an overseas call.

Clint: No, no, I'm coming to these conclusions all by myself.

Dorian: Nora --

Clint: No.

Dorian: Your roommate. Of course -- at your elbow, pouring you a nightcap at the end of a long day, not hearing from me, and pointing out that I would've called if I really cared.

Clint: No, it is not nora. Nos. I want to know if you care, even when things are going bad.

Dorian: It is Nora, isn't it?

Clint: You know, I always tell you where I stand. I'm here. I love you. But you? I don't know what you're thinking, and I don't know what you're up to.

[Dorian pulls him into her arms. They kiss passionately.]

Scene 3

Dorian: Oh. My lipstick doesn't look very good on you.

Clint: Huh. Uh -- maybe I shouldn't tell you what I feel.

Dorian: What do you mean?

Clint: From what I heard, david vickers always kept you guessing. I think that's what you like -- you like the chase.

Dorian: Well, the chase is fun. And I will always have a soft spot in my heart for david, but he is a boy. And I need a man in my life.

[Phone rings]

Dorian: Whoops. Oh, no. It's Starr. I really do have to take it. Sorry. Hi, kidlet. What is it?

Starr: Aunt Dorian, I need your help -- Langston's in trouble.

Scene 4

Dorian: Yes, but how did Child Protective Services get involved? We only just found out.

Starr: Britney.

Dorian: Who?

Starr: Look, Aunt Dorian, this witch from child services said that she'll take Langston away in 10 minutes.

Dorian: Where are you?

Starr: I'm -- I'm at the park right across the street from my high school.

Dorian: I'm on my way. Just -- just keep them there until I arrive.

Starr: Wait -- how?

Dorian: You are a Cramer woman -- figure it out.

Clint: You have to go?

Dorian: Yes. Child Protective Services somehow found out about Langston.

Clint: Yeah. I understand.

Dorian: And you're not going to hold it against me that I have to leave?

Clint: No, no. Go, you're needed.

Dorian: Huh -- thank you.

[Dorian chuckles]

Dorian: You can show yourself out?

Clint: I always do.

Scene 5

[Knock on door]

Clint: Well, mark it to my attention and I'll take care of it, and pull the transatlantic file. I'm going to need that for the meeting. Thank you, gwen.

Nora: Hi.

Clint: Come on in.

Nora: Hi.

Clint: Hi. If you're looking for Dorian, she's on an emergency.

Nora: Oh -- another one?

Clint: Yeah, Starr's friend is in trouble and she's coming to the -- coming to the rescue. I was just on my way out and the office called.

Nora: Oh. She's rescuing a friend of Starr's? Wow, she's on a roll.

Clint: What are you talking about?

Nora: I just came from seeing lindsay.

Clint: How is she?

Nora: Well, she's not catatonic anymore. Dorian paid her a visit then, presto change-o, she's chatting up a storm.

Clint: You're kidding.

Nora: Hmm -- nope, I'm not. Of course, it's all hearsay because before I could have a chance to chat with her, Bo threw me out of St. Anne's. Well, I suppose it's a darn sight better than getting thrown into St. Anne's, but -- oh, wow, look at me. I've just insulted your girlfriend and your brother without even breaking a sweat.

Clint: Oh. Don't worry about that. And whatever happened with Lindsay, it's just one more thing that Dorian didn't tell me about.

Dorian: Hi, kids. Langston, are you all right?

Langston: Yeah, now that you're here.

Dorian: Ok, so where is this witch from Child Protective Services?

Langston: She's over there on the phone. She's got her goon watching me. They're going to put me in foster care.

Dorian: Don't worry, I will handle this -- unless -- do I have to handle that first?

Scene 6

Cole: I think Starr's taking care of it.

Starr (to Britney): If what you did today ruins Langston's life, your new start at your new school is over.

Britney: I'll make note of that.

Starr: And you know all those cracks that you made about my crazy father? Well, don't think that I won't hesitate to ask him for help, because unlike your parents, my father will do anything for me.

Cole: What'd you say to her?

Starr: I told her that I'd sic my father on her.

Cole: Hmm -- whoa. Whipping out the heavy artillery, huh?

Starr: It's not funny, Cole. If what she did today hurts Langston --

Cole: Hey, hey. Your aunt's here now, ok? It's cool.

Starr: Aunt Dorian, thank you for coming over here so fast.

Dorian: Oh, my pleasure, darling. I am going to take care of this bureaucrat. Oh. Hello. I'm Dr. Dorian Lord.

Mrs. Woodrow: Evelyn Woodrow, Child Protective Services.

Dorian: So nice to meet you, ms. Woodrow. You know, I really appreciate your concern. As soon as I heard about langston's situation, I stepped t in. It's such a sad thing -- a child alone.

Mrs. Woodrow: I couldn't agree with you more.

Dorian: Good -- so it's all settled. I will take full responsibility for her and it will be one less case for the county to have to take on. Thank you so much. Now, children, come on, let's go home.

Mrs. Woodrow: Dr. Lord, that is not the way that we do things at Child Protective Services.

Dorian: It's all rig. Just send the paperwork to me. "La boulaie" -- that's all the address you need. Come on, kids.

Mrs. Woodrow: Dr. Lord?

Dorian: Langston?

Mrs. Woodrow: I'm sorry, but if you take one more step with that child, I will have you arrested. Am I making myself clear?

Scene 7

Nora: Do you suppose that Dorian's coaching Lindsay?

Clint: I don't think so, but -- I don't know -- I don't know half of what goes on around here. You know, Nora, I care about Dorian, but sometimes --

Nora: Sometimes?

Clint: Sometimes it seems like she doesn't need me at all.

Nora: Ooh. That's a lousy feeling.

Clint: You're telling me.

Dorian: Ms. Woodrow, are you threatening me?

Mrs. Woodrow: I am informing you of my intentions, Dr. Lord, should you break the law!

Dorian: But I have told you I intend to take full responsibility.

Mrs. Woodrow: Well, I appreciate that. But no matter where miss wilde ends up, she has to come with me today. Miss wilde? I will let you say your goodbyes, and then we're leaving.

Langston: I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to drag all of you guys into this.

Dorian: Oh, don't worry, sweetheart. She's just trying to cover her derriere. Huh -- trust me, I've got a whole posse of lawyers working on this for you. You're not going to get lost. I won't let that happen, so you keep that pretty little chin up.

Langston: Thank you.

[Langston sighs]

Langston: Make sure Starr doesn't do anything crazy, ok?

Cole: I'm on it.

Starr: You're going to come home today, ok?

Langston: Mm-hmm.

Starr: Don't worry about it.

Langston: I'm going to be fine, don't worry about it. Ok?

Starr: Ok.

Langston: Oh.

Markko: Hey.

Langston: Hi.

Markko: You're a freak, remember? Tough as nails.

Langston: Yeah.

Mrs. Woodrow: Langston, we have to go.
