Days of our Lives - Friday, April 25, 2008

>>> Marlena: Wow. You look very nice.

>>> John: Thank you.

>>> Marlena: The candles and the room -- very well done. So, who are we dining with tonight?

>>> John: I believe I said that I had a date this evening, not we.

>>> Marlena: Oh, I know, but I figured you were just trying to get my goat. Oh. Well, uh...mind if I ask who it is?

>>> John: My date is with Nicole Kiriakis.

>>> Marlena: I didn't realize you were that well acquainted.

>>> John: We aren't...yet.

>>> Marlena: So, is this, uh...is this a dinner date or a business date?

>>> John: I believe I used the word "hot."

>>> Marlena: I know. Once again, I did figure that you were just trying to --

>>> John: Why don't you take a look around and tell me what you think, Blondie? Does it look like I'm preparing for business?

>>> Victor: Excuse me.

>>> Nurse: Are you here to see Chelsea Brady?

>>> Victor: Yes, I am.

>>> Nurse: She just left for more testing.

>>> Victor: Ah. Could you tell me how my granddaughter is doing?

>>> Nurse: I can't. I'm sorry. But you're welcome to wait here.

>>> Victor: Thank you. I will.

>>> Nicole: What part of "we are still married" don't you understand?

>>> Victor: How did you find me, Nicole?

>>> Nicole: One of your maids told me where you were, and then she started packing my stuff. You are not kicking me out of my house.

>>> Victor: I just did.

>>> Chloe: Philip.

>>> Philip: Chloe, what's going on?

>>> Chloe: Victor did it. He kicked me out of the house.

>>> Baby, I'm here...

>>> Stephanie: What are you thinking?

>>> Max: I -- I just wish we could do this all night.

>>> Stephanie: Me too.

>> [ Music plays ]

>> [ I'm here... ]

>>> Pete: Hey, Max. I'm here. I just clocked in.

>>> Stephanie: Guess your break is over.

>>> Max: Not if I can help it. Hey, Pete? Uh, can you cover me for a while?

>>> Pete: Sure. No problem.

>>> Stephanie: Yes.

>>> Max: Thanks, man. Are you sure you're gonna be able to handle me for a little while?

>>> Stephanie: Mm-hmm.

>>> Abe: Thank you, man. Thank you so much for meeting me.

>>> Roman: Well, your message sounded important. What's going on?

>>> Abe: Bo's missing.

>>> Roman: "Missing"? I thought he was still in the hospital recovering from his transplant surgery.

>>> Abe: Mnh-mnh, he was released last night.

>>> Roman: Did you talk to Hope?

>>> Abe: Hope's missing, too. And so are Steve and Kayla.

>>> Roman: What the hell is going on here?

>>> Abe: I don't know. I don't know, but I think their lives are in danger, and we have to find them, Roman, now.

>>> Hope: Where are you taking us?

>>> Kayla: I want to see my husband.

>>> Angelo: Oh, do you now?

>>> Kayla: Yeah.

>>> Ava: Oh, I missed you so much.

>> [ Door slams ]

>>> Kayla: Steve.

>>> Steve: Oh, God, Kayla.

>>> Kayla: Let me out! Let me out!

>>> Steve: No, no, no, no! Hey, baby, come here.

>>> Kayla: What the hell is going on in here?

>>> Ava: Ain't it obvious?

>>> Steve: What? What did you say?

>>> Ava: It's obvious.

>>> Steve: You planned this whole thing, didn't you?

>>> Ava: Look, I just wanted Kayla to see how good we were together.

>>> Steve: I should have known.

>>> Ava: Hey, look, I really didn't think that you were gonna want to make love, but now that I know you do, everything is really...unh.

>>> Steve: I don't.

>>> Ava: You do.

>>> Steve: I don't!

>>> Ava: You do! I want you out of here now!

>>> Kayla: I'm not going anywhere.

>>> Ava: Like hell you're not.

>> [ Like sands through the hourglass, so are the "Days of our Lives." ]

>>> Philip: Okay, Chloe, tell me exactly what happened.

>>> Chloe: Well, I came home, and I found one of the maids packing my bags.

>>> Philip: Did you ask why?

>>> Chloe: Yeah, she said Victor told her to do it.

>>> Philip: I can't believe this.

>>> Chloe: Victor has wanted me out of that house since the day I moved in.

>>> Philip: It doesn't matter. You're my guest, and I want you to stay.

>>> Chloe: That's very nice of you to say that, Philip, but it is your father's house. He has every right to ask me to leave.

>>> Philip: Don't worry. I'll talk to him.

>>> Chloe: You know what? Just forget it. Pretend like we didn't have this conversation. I've caused enough trouble already.

>>> Philip: No. You're family, Chloe. And my friend. Trust me -- by the end of tonight, you will be back in that house.

>>> Victor: You are not welcome in my house, Nicole. And if you try to enter it again, I'll have you arrested.

>>> Nicole: Both your lawyer and mine agreed that I have every right to live in the mansion.

>>> Victor: Well, unfortunately for you, I don't, and I'm what counts.

>>> Nicole: I'll take you to court if I have to.

>>> Victor: Oh, I'm counting on it.

>>> Nicole: Oh, you want to play dirty? Bring it on!

>>> Victor: There is no need for an invitation.

>>> Nicole: What about Chloe? Did you kick her out, too?

>>> Victor: I did. I've thrown out all the trash.

>>> Nicole: You should still be nice to me, Victor.

>>> Victor: Oh, well, now, this should be good. Why is that?

>>> Nicole: Because you don't want me to tell everyone your dirty little secret, now do you?

>>> Max: Well, it is starting to get packed now. Maybe we should, uh -- we should probably get going before Pete changes his mind about covering for me.

>>> Stephanie: Where do you want to go?

>>> Max: Well, we can go up to my room. Or not. We could go someplace else, wherever you want to go.

>>> Stephanie: You know what? Your room is fine.

>>> Max: Are you sure?

>>> Stephanie: Yes.

>>> Roman: Do you think this Ava took Bo and Hope and Steve and Kayla?

>>> Abe: I do.

>>> Roman: Well, if her beef is with Steve, why take Hope?

>>> Abe: I have no idea.

>>> Roman: My guess is this -- my guess is Steve found out about Hope, tried to save her, got caught. Then, of course, when Bo got out of the hospital, he went looking for both of them.

>>> Abe: Exactly.

>>> Roman: And then there's Kayla. I'm sure Kayla just badgered the hell out of Bo until he took her with him.

>>> Abe: Well, your sister can be very persuasive.

>>> Roman: So, are you saying Ava is Martino Vitali's kid?

>>> Abe: His only child.

>>> Roman: How in the hell did Steve get mixed up with that family?

>>> Abe: Steve told me it was one of the times that he got away from Stefano. He didn't know who he was.

>>> Roman: Well, we need to pinpoint exactly where she took the four of them and fast, because my gut tells me their time is about to run out.

>>> Ava: Come on, Patch baby, get back in bed.

>>> Steve: Nope. Hey, hey, hey.

>>> Ava: Do you see what you did?

>>> Steve: Hey, hey, hey!

>>> Kayla: What I did?

>>> Steve: Ava, listen to me -- hold on. Listen, you see this? She's not jealous, and we're not having sex.

>>> Ava: Make love, Patch.

>>> Steve: This has nothing to do with love. It's about your obsession with the past. Otherwise, why would you have to bring her into this?

>>> Ava: She needed to see how good we were together.

>>> Steve: What did you expect her to do?

>>> Ava: I don't know, Patch. Step aside.

>>> Kayla: Oh.

>>> Steve: Listen, let me talk to you for a second.

>>> Ava: I don't want to talk to you.

>>> Steve: No, I want to tell you something. Look at me. What happened to you happened to Kayla, too. She lost the love of her life.

>>> Ava: Oh, I'm really sorry for her. We're not talking about her right now. We're talking about you and me.

>>> Steve: I know that. But she got over the pain. And you will, too.

>>> Ava: When? When, Patch? Because it has been years.

>>> Steve: I know.

>>> Ava: You don't know anything. She ruined our night together. Now I'm really angry!

>>> Ava: Angelo!

>>> Angelo: Put them in separate rooms. Let's go.

>>> Hope: Aah!

>>> Victor: You know, I have to hand it to you, Nicole. Most women become more graceful with age. You, on the other hand, become more desperate.

>>> Nicole: Oh, I'm not desperate, Victor. I'm vindictive, so I'd be careful if I were you.

>>> Victor: Well, you certainly have become more dramatic since you've been gone.

>>> Nicole: I am moving back into the mansion.

>>> Victor: You do and I will have you arrested.

>>> Nicole: Maybe you didn't hear me the first time, Victor. I know your secret, the one that would destroy your relationship with your family if they found out.

>>> Victor: I don't have any secrets.

>>> Nicole: Everyone has secrets, even you.

>>> Victor: Oh? Then tell me what it is.

>>> Nicole: No.

>>> Victor: No?

>>> Nicole: We're gonna do this my way, Victor, not yours.

>>> Victor: I see. In other words, you're bluffing.

>>> Nicole: Am I?

>>> Victor: Yes.

>>> Nicole: You're making a big mistake.

>>> Victor: Nicole, you do what you have to do.

>>> Nicole: Don't worry. I will.

>>> Marlena: John, you and I should be clear about something. We are still married.

>>> John: I know.

>>> Marlena: Married people don't date.

>>> John: Not even each other?

>>> Marlena: Oh. I see where you're going, but this date with Nicole is completely inappropriate.

>>> John: Well, I disagree.

>>> Marlena: Somehow that doesn't surprise me.

>>> John: Well, that's because you are finally allowing yourself the opportunity to get to know me -- the real me.

>>> Marlena: I'd like to say that I appreciate what I see.

>>> John: But you don't?

>>> Marlena: No.

>>> John: You will, in time.

>>> Marlena: Don't count on that.

>>> John: Do I detect a bit of sarcasm in that tone? I do, and I like it. Jealousy becomes you.

>>> Marlena: I'm --

>>> John: In fact, it's very, very sexy.

>>> Marlena: I'm not jealous.

>>> John: Whatever you want to call it, it's still sexy.

>>> Marlena: I'm upset.

>>> John: With my dinner with Nicole?

>>> Marlena: Because you're my husband, and you should act like that.

>>> John: You first.

>>> Marlena: Meaning?

>>> John: If you want me to act like your husband, perhaps you should start acting like my wife.

>>> Marlena: What does that mean?

>>> John: Wives sleep with their husbands.

>>> Marlena: Oh. So the date with Nicole is about sex.

>>> John: I never would have invited her over if I had something better to do.

>>> Marlena: So you're baiting me now.

>>> John: And you're shrinking me.

>>> Marlena: No. I'm acting like your wife. Isn't that what you wanted? John...please don't do this.

>> [ Doorbell rings ]

>>> John: Too late. But if it'll make you feel any better, I was toying with you. The reality of the situation is my dinner with Nicole tonight -- strictly business.

>>> Marlena: Good. Then you won't mind if I join you.

>>> John: Actually, I do.

>>> Dr. Rolf: [ Clears throat ] Nicole Kiriakis is here to see you, Sir.

>>> John: Thank you, Rolf. Nicole, I'm so glad you could make it.

>>> Nicole: So am I.

>>> John: May I help you with your coat?

>>> Nicole: Please. You like?

>>> John: Oh, I like.

>>> Stephanie: You don't have to do that.

>>> Max: I know, but I want to. I want tonight to be special.

>>> Stephanie: It is special. 'Cause I'm spending it with you.

>> [ Music plays ]

>> [ ...Only to taste your lips ]

>> [ if only for this moment ]

>> [ for you, I would do it again ]

>> [ even for just one kiss ]

>> [ I'd risk it all just for this ]

>> [ 'cause I... ]

>>> Stephanie: Max, come here.

>> [ It only gets better from here ]

>> [ and I'm with you come whatever ]

>> [ as beautiful days turn to years ]

>> [ if only to love you ]

>>> Max: Steph, Steph, Steph, you know we don't have to do this, okay? I'd be -- I'd be happy if we just sat here and talked if that's what you want.

>>> Stephanie: I know, but, I mean what's happening between us, it just feels right.

>>> Max: Mm-hmm.

>> [ Even for just one kiss ]

>>> Stephanie: I want you, Max. I want us to be together.

>> [ 'Cause I want to love you forever ]

>>> Max: Are you sure? Because we can stop at any moment --

>>> Stephanie: Max, just kiss me.

>>> Max: All right.

>> [ And I'm with you come whatever ]

>> [ as beautiful days turn to years ]

>>> Kayla: Did you hear that?

>>> Steve: Sounded like a fight.

>>> Bo: Hey, Fancy Face, you okay?

>>> Hope: I'm okay. Are you all right?

>>> Bo: No, I've been better.

>>> Hope: Yeah, I can see that. We need to get you to a hospital.

>>> Bo: Let's get them out of that room.

>>> Kayla: I don't hear anything now.

>>> Steve: Got to get this door open.

>>> Ava: Patch. You're not leaving me.

>>> Steve: Put the gun down, Ava.

>>> Ava: No.

>>> Steve: Put it down.

>>> Ava: No. If anyone walks through that door, they die.

>>> John: Want some more champagne?

>>> Nicole: Please. It is wrong for me to say I'm glad Marlena didn't join us?

>>> John: Only if I disagree.

>>> Nicole: But you don't.

>>> John: No, I don't.

>>> Nicole: Good, because I don't like to share.

>>> John: Neither do I.

>>> Nicole: I have to admit, I was surprised to see Marlena. I didn't realize the two of you still lived together.

>>> John: May I be frank?

>>> Nicole: Of course.

>>> John: My relationship with Marlena is not what I was hoping to discuss with you tonight.

>>> Nicole: What did you want to discuss?

>>> John: You. Me. Just...how good we could be together.

>>> Marlena: [ Gasps ] I hold you responsible for what is going on in that room.

>>> Dr. Rolf: I don't know what you mean.

>>> Marlena: Oh, yes, you do. That man in there is not my husband, and I want you to reverse my husband's memory loss. Do you understand me, Rolf?

>>> Dr. Rolf: I'm afraid that is impossible.

>>> Marlena: I don't trust you. You're an arrogant man. So arrogant, you would have documented every single thing you did. So I know you can bring my husband back to me. And soon, I'm going to know how myself.

>>> Nicole: Careful, John. I've been known to fall in lust at the slightest bit of encouragement.

>>> John: Really? Well, then, would flying you to Napa to sample champagnes for our flight to Paris constitute encouragement?

>>> Nicole: Yes, it would.

>>> John: How about Saturday? We'll leave around noon, stay overnight at the vineyard that I'm looking to acquire, and then on Sunday, we will fly off to Paris for a weeklong vacation.

>>> Nicole: That sounds wonderful.

>>> John: You just leave it to me. I'll make all the arrangements.

>>> Nicole: I hope our trip won't disrupt your schedule too much.

>>> John: No, it won't.

>>> Nicole: Well, you are a man with considerable assets and interests. Are you sure our little excursion won't interfere with business? I know that you and Victor are engaged in a war of control of the docks.

>>> John: Took you long enough.

>>> Nicole: I'm sorry. I-I don't know what you mean.

>>> John: You didn't come here for dinner, did you, Nicole? You came here to spy on me.

>> [ Music plays ]

>> [ 'Cause I want to love you forever ]

>> [ it only gets better from here ]

>> [ and I'm with you come whatever ]

>>> Bo: Kay, it's me. I'm coming in.

>>> Kayla: It's him.

>>> Ava: No.

>>> Bo: You guys okay?

>>> Kayla: Yeah. We're fine.

>>> John: I lost my memory, Nicole, not my senses. You didn't honestly believe that this tasteless dress and your painfully embarrassing come-ons would get me to open up about my private affairs, did you?

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

>>> John: You're here to gather inside information. So who are you working for? Is it Victor or little Philip?

>>> Roman: Well, here he is.

>>> Abe: Ah, the infamous Earl Lawson.

>>> Earl: Yeah, that depends on who's asking.

>>> Abe: Salem P.D.

>>> Earl: You never said anything about me meeting another cop.

>>> Roman: Well, now you know.

>>> Earl: Yeah? Well, listen, I told you that I would talk to you as a favor to Bo. Him? He wasn't part of it. So guess what -- I'm out of here.

>>> Roman: Too late for that now, Earl.

>>> Earl: As long as I'm breathing, gentlemen, it's never too late for me to leave.

>>> Abe: Look, I don't have time for this. We need information now.

>>> Earl: I got all the time in the world. Why don't you get your information somewhere else?

>>> Roman: You know what, earl? You are starting to get on my nerves. So you tell us what we need to know, or you will spend the night in lockup.

>>> Earl: For what?

>>> Roman: Resisting arrest. How does that sound?

>>> Earl: Sounds like a bum rap.

>>> Abe: What's the new location of The Vitali Compound?

>>> Earl: Are you serious?

>>> Abe: Do I look like I'm joking?

>>> Earl: No, man. You don't. It's just that I thought you guys brought me here for something bigger, like when's the next shipment gonna be here. Crazy stuff like that.

>>> Roman: Earl, listen to me. Where is the compound?

>>> Earl: It's in Brookville. Maybe I should be wearing the badge. It's the only mansion on a private road.

>>> Abe: Street name.

>>> Earl: [ Sighs ] Riverstone. You want me to download you a map, too?

>>> Roman: All right, Earl, here's your cash. Now get out of here.

>>> Abe: Yeah. Riverstone. Meet us there in 20 minutes. Yeah, we're going in quiet. All right, you ready to get everybody out of there?

>>> Roman: Let's do it.

>>> Bo: Come on, let's get out of here.

>>> Steve: Wait a minute. We can't leave yet. Stephanie could be in danger. Ava said she had a guy following her.

>>> Kayla: But I thought you hired a guard to watch Stephanie.

>>> Steve: Ava paid the guy off.

>>> Bo: Here's Angelo's phone. Call her.

>> [ Cellphone vibrating ]

>>> Nicole: You're starting to worry me, John. Is paranoia a side effect of memory loss?

>>> John: Who sent you?

>>> Nicole: No one.

>>> John: Victor doesn't trust you, not after you tried to have him killed. It was Philip. What did he promise you -- money? A way out of your divorce?

>>> Nicole: You are paranoid just like Victor. I shouldn't have come here.

>>> Marlena: Leaving so soon, Nicole?

>>> Nicole: Suddenly I lost my appetite.

>>> Marlena: John can do that to people.

>>> Nicole: I'm sorry for your loss, Marlena. This man is nothing like the old John.

>>> Marlena: He's not, is he?

>>> Nicole: Well, maybe you can convince him to get professional help. He needs it.

>>> Marlena: So do you.

>>> Nicole: Excuse me?

>>> Marlena: You're a married woman, Nicole. John is a married man.

>>> Nicole: Yes, I'm married, about to get a divorce.

>>> Marlena: What did you hope to accomplish by coming here tonight?

>>> Nicole: Nothing that I care to discuss with you.

>>> Marlena: Must be hard to admit that, well, that you're a spy.

>>> Nicole: Oh, wow. You two deserve each other. You're just as crazy as he is.

>>> Marlena: She's not very convincing, is she, darling?

>>> John: It's embarrassing. You would have better luck trying to convince me that you're a virgin.

>>> Nicole: Now, why would I do that? I'll see myself out.

>>> John: My regards to Philip. You were impressive, Blondie. I see my talent in rubbing people the wrong way has rubbed off on you.

>>> Marlena: You were impressive, too. I thought you handled Nicole beautifully.

>>> Steve: Went to voicemail.

>>> Bo: Steve, come on, man. We got to get moving.

>>> Steve: We've already lost a lot of time, Bo. You got to get some backup. Here, take this. Put a squad on Stephanie, too, while you're at it.

>>> Bo: I'm on it.

>>> Steve: Ava.

>>> Ava: Patch? What happened?

>>> Steve: It's okay. We're gonna take a little walk now. Come on.

>> [ Static ]

>>> Man's Voice: Angelo. Angelo, come in.

>>> Ava: Angelo.

>>> Bo: Hey, give me that walkie.

>>> Hope: Get up.

>>> Angelo: You want this, hmm?

>>> Bo: Don't be stupid. Give that to me now. That's my boy. Into the room. Get into the room.

>>> Angelo: You're not gonna get away with this.

>>> Bo: I'm done talking to you. Get in there.

>>> Roman: All right, I counted five armed guards in the Southeast corner. You?

>>> Abe: Yeah, same.

>>> Roman: Let's do it.

>>> Stephanie: What's wrong?

>>> Max: I, um... I know you, Stephanie. I re-- I really know you. And I know you're worried about your parents, and doing this is not gonna get your mind off of it.

>>> Stephanie: It's so much more than that.

>>> Max: I know, but... look, maybe it is. But I love you, all right? And I want this to be right.

>>> Stephanie: You don't want to?

>>> Max: No, hey. No, I want to. I just -- I don't want to -- I don't want to be selfish. Please do not make this more difficult than it is. Or I might just lose my manners. Ahh.

>>> Stephanie: I love you.

>>> Max: [ Sighs ] Look, I just -- I want you to know that...for the first time in my life, I know exactly what I want. And that's you, Stephanie Johnson. I want us. I mean, that's...worth waiting for.

>>> Stephanie: Would it be too forward of me to say, um, I don't know how much longer I can wait?

>>> Max: Hey, and I can? God.

>>> Nicole: Chloe, where's Philip?

>>> Chloe: Why, hello, Nicole. It's nice to see you, too. Me, I'm not doing so well, but thanks for asking.

>>> Nicole: Look, I don't have time for this. Where is he?

>>> Chloe: With Victor.

>>> Nicole: Oh. Great. You know, he kicked me out of the house today. I assume he kicked you out, too.

>>> Chloe: Yes, he did. Philip's speaking to him about it right now.

>>> Nicole: Maybe he'll talk some sense into him. After everything I have done for that man, he had a maid pack up my bags and he put Pookie in a cage. That's just not right.

>>> Chloe: I agree. Victor should have at least waited until you tried to kill him again.

>>> Nicole: Yeah, at least.

>>> Nicole: [ Chuckles ] Wow, Chloe, if didn't know any better, I would think we just shared a nice moment right there.

>>> Chloe: Is that what it was? 'Cause it was weird.

>>> Nicole: [ Chuckles ] Yeah. You know, you really have changed since I've been gone.

>>> Chloe: Have I?

>>> Nicole: You have a backbone now. You're not so disgustingly sweet anymore.

>>> Chloe: Well, it's been nice. We definitely should not do this again.

>>> Nicole: Wait, Chloe. Wait a second. Sit down please. You're gonna want to hear what I have to say.

>>> Chloe: Is this another one of your nice moments?

>>> Nicole: No.

>>> Chloe: What is it?

>>> Nicole: I warned Victor, but he wouldn't listen, so here it goes. There's something you need to know.

>>> Abe: All right, all units, stand by.

>>> Bo: Abe? Roman?

>>> Roman: Hey, Bo.

>>> Bo: Hey, man. Good to see you.

>>> Roman: Yeah, glad you called.

>>> Abe: You've got a lot of explaining to do, all of you.

>>> Bo: Yeah, yeah, we'll get to that.

>>> Steve: Hey, Roman, did they get that squad on Stephanie yet?

>>> Roman: Uh, I talked to them, but I'll check back with them.

>>> Abe: Is everybody all right?

>>> Kayla: Hope's been shot.

>>> Hope: In the shoulder, but it's not bad.

>>> Bo: We got to get her to the hospital.

>>> Hope: We need to get you back to the hospital, is what we need to do.

>>> Abe: You must be Ava Vitali.

>>> Steve: This is Ava.

>>> Abe: Hands behind your back. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have a right to an attorney and have him or her present during questioning if you so desire. If you cannot afford an attorney...

>>> Abe: You folks have had an exciting few days.

>>> Bo: Yeah, all thanks to that crazy woman.

>>> Abe: All right, let's go. Come on.

>>> Bo: Come on. Let's get you to an ambulance.

>>> Steve: Roman, how's it going with that squad on Stephanie?

>>> Roman: Well, they're on their way, but they don't know anything yet, though.

>>> Steve: They're on their way, baby. It's gonna be all right.

>>> Kayla: Stephanie's just got to be all right.

>> [ Grunting ]

>>> Angelo: You got a phone?

>>> Man: Here, pocket.

>>> Angelo: Yeah, it's me. It's a go.

>>> Marlena: Thank you.

>>> John: So, you were impressed with the way I handled Nicole.

>>> Marlena: Mm, I was.

>>> John: Is it safe to say that you were also surprised as well?

>>> Marlena: It is. I didn't think that this was really a business dinner.

>>> John: Admit it, Blondie. You were jealous.

>>> Marlena: You're my husband, John. I won't share you.

>>> John: You do realize the significance of this evening.

>>> Marlena: Hmm?

>>> John: You're beginning to accept me.

>>> Marlena: I wouldn't read too much into my reaction to your date.

>>> John: And now we are regressing.

>>> Marlena: Mm-hmm. And who's analyzing who now?

>>> John: Point taken. But you did say that you were impressed with the way I handled Nicole.

>>> Marlena: I was.

>>> John: Well, you haven't seen anything yet.

>>> Marlena: Really? What does that mean?

>>> John: Tonight, Philip Kiriakis made a pathetic attempt to infiltrate my organization.

>>> Marlena: I didn't know you had an organization.

>>> John: For our purposes, that is what we are going to call my various assets and interests.

>>> Marlena: All right.

>>> John: The point is...Victor and Philip have proven to be very disappointing adversaries.

>>> Marlena: What does that mean?

>>> John: I just wanted control. I just wanted them to roll over, but they didn't. They made a mistake. They fought back. And now I'm gonna put an end to this.

>> [ Door opens ]

>>> Philip: How's Chelsea doing?

>>> Victor: I don't know. Daniel's running some more tests.

>>> Philip: I hope she'll be all right.

>>> Victor: Yeah, so do I.

>>> Philip: So, I ran into Chloe at The Brady Pub. She said you kicked both her and Nicole out of the house.

>>> Victor: Yes, I did.

>>> Philip: Why?

>>> Victor: You know perfectly well why. I don't trust either one of those women. I don't want them in my home.

>>> Philip: But I thought we agreed to let the lawyers take care of Nicole.

>>> Victor: I changed my mind.

>>> Philip: What about Chloe? She was my guest.

>>> Victor: Yeah, well, she's overstayed her welcome.

>>> Philip: Dad, Chloe doesn't have anywhere else to go. Look, I'm gonna tell Chloe she can stay. And I don't like Nicole, I don't want her around, but we need to let the lawyers handle it.

>>> Victor: Absolutely not.

>>> Philip: Why are you being so stubborn?

>>> Victor: I don't have to explain my decisions to you, Philip. You, on the other hand, do have to explain your actions to me.

>>> Philip: What are you referring to?

>>> Victor: I want to know why you're supporting Nicole and Chloe against the family. And I want to know right now.

>>> Max: I'm sorry I have to go back to work so soon.

>>> Stephanie: It's okay. 'Cause once you're through here, we can have the rest of the night to ourselves.

>>> Max: Oh. Are you gonna be around for a while?

>>> Stephanie: Mm, yes.

>>> Max: Good.

>>> Stephanie: Take me to the bar.

>>> Max: All right.

>>> Chloe: What did Victor do now?

>>> Nicole: You're not gonna like it.

>>> Chloe: Come on, Nicole. Just tell me.

>>> Nicole: He knows where Brady is. He always has.

>>> Max: I'll be right back.

>>> Stephanie: Okay.
