Days of our Lives - Friday, June 20, 2008

>> Philip: [ Smooches ] Good morning.

>>> Chloe: Mm.

>>> Philip: [ Smooches ]

>>> Chloe: Good morning yourself. So much for just talking last night.

>>> Philip: I ran out of things to say. How'd you sleep?

>>> Chloe: You tell me.

>>> Philip: I get the feeling we're not finished yet.

>>> Chloe: Mmm.

>>> Chelsea: They totally airbrush these models. Where's the wrinkles or the cellulite? Nobody looks like this.

>>> Morgan: [ Chuckles ]

>>> Chelsea: Seriously, right?

>>> Are you done with that?

>>> Chelsea: Yeah. It's all yours.

>>> Thank you.

>>> Chelsea: Uh-huh. Speaking of being airbrushed, did you see how much makeup she had on? Who wears lipstick to the gym?

>>> Morgan: I don't know.

>>> Chelsea: Lip balm maybe. I've never worn lipstick.

>>> Morgan: Oh, oh! Crystle, right?

>>> Crystle: Yeah. Morgan and chelsea!

>>> Chelsea: I'm sorry.

>>> Morgan: Crystle is our alpha chi theta national chapter rep.

>>> Crystle: Adviser, actually.

>>> Morgan: She's organizing the breast cancer awareness walkathon.

>>> Chelsea: Oh, yeah. I participated in that.

>>> Crystle: I'm doing the same thing this year -- second sunday in july.

>>> Morgan: I will be there.

>>> Chelsea: Me too. We can walk all day and then recover by watching miss universe on tv that night.

>>> Crystle: Make sure you sign up those sponsors.

>>> Morgan: Will do.

>>> Crystle: Thanks. Nice seeing you again. Oh. You know all that trouble you and your sisters went through last year? I'm really glad everything worked out, especially for you, chelsea.

>>> Chelsea: Thank you. I forgot how nice she was.

>>> Morgan: Yeah.

>>> Chelsea: Are you okay?

>>> Morgan: Yeah. I don't want to talk about it.

>>> Chelsea: Okay. Whatever.

>>> Morgan: Actually, what are you doing tonight? I was thinking about going downtown to the art festival. I could really use a distraction.

>>> Chelsea: I'm sorry. I can'T. Um, I already have plans.

>>> Morgan: Care to share?

>>> Chelsea: I have a date tonight.

>>> Morgan: Oh.

>>> Daniel: I know it's late, but is there any way I can get a reservation? 7:30 for two? Oh, you rock, maggie. Thank you.

>[ Exhales deeply ]

>> Kate: Oh, god.

>[ Sighs ]

>> Daniel: So, how you feeling this morning?

>>> Kate: Get out of my room.

>>> Lexie: And if you are good, we'll stop by the toy store on the way home. Would you like that?

>>> Lindsay: Is that theo? Hey, buddy.

>>> Lexie: Say hi to lindsay.

>>> Lindsay: I got some neat stuff. You want to see?

>>> Abe: You know, there is no use worrying till we know something's wrong -- if there's anything wrong. Hey! Yeah, big guy! How about some breakfast, huh? All right. We're gonna head out to the cafeteria.

>>> Lexie: Okay. Our appointment's at 10:00, so I'll meet you back here at 5 of.

>>> Abe: That sounds like a plan. Say goodbye to lindsay.

>>> Lindsay: Bye-bye, theo. You have the perfect little family.

>>> Lexie: Thanks.

>>> Caroline: Well, I heard that you moved back into the townhouse.

>>> Marlena: Yes. That was not an easy decision, especially with sami and the twins still staying at the mansion, but it's best for john and me.

>>> Caroline: Yeah?

>>> Marlena: I think so.

>>> Caroline: [ Coughs ] Speak of the devil.

>>> Marlena: Oh.

>>> Caroline: [ Chuckles ]

>>> John: Hello.

>>> Caroline: Hi.

>>> Marlena: Good morning. I didn't think I'd see you here today.

>>> John: Rolf's on breakfast duty. He said he was going to experiment, and I really wasn't in the mood for anything strange. May I have grilled liver smothered in assorted fruit, please?

>>> Caroline: Uh, yeah. Sure. Uh, yes.

>>> Marlena: Please.

>>> John: Thank you.

>>> Marlena: I really had a nice time last night.

>>> John: Well, we'll have to do it again real soon. Maybe next time you can sleep over.

>>> Marlena: [ Chuckles ] Well...

>>> John: Or you can just move back in. I haven't changed a thing in your room. In fact, I had rolf put up a velvet rope so no one would enter.

>>> Marlena: John... I don't think I'm ready for that. I don't think you're ready for that.

>>> John: You're still upset about ava, aren't you?

>>> Stephanie: I didn't sleep at all last night. I couldn't stop thinking about your dad.

>>> Max: Don't call him that. It's trent.

>>> Stephanie: Sorry. I can't believe what a jerk he is.

>>> Max: Well, I can certainly think of more colorful words.

>>> Stephanie: I just want to strangle him. The same goes for you.

>[ Cellphone barking ]

>> Nicole: Hello.

>>> Trent: It's trent. How's my sweet girl today?

>>> Nicole: Fine till she answered the phone.

>>> Trent: Where are you? We need to talk.

>>> Nicole: Isn't that what we're doing?

>>> Trent: Let's see. It's a weekday, midmorning. Deductive reasoning would tell me you're probably someplace they serve alcohol.

>>> Nicole: Very funny.

>>> Trent: And since the cheatin' heart's not open yet, I'm guessing you're at... the pub.

>>> Nicole: What the hell do you want from me?!

>>> Announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.

>>> Stephanie: Why didn't you tell me about dean robbins? I thought we agreed -- no more secrets.

>>> Max: I don't need you mad at me, too. I have enough problems.

>>> Stephanie: Sorry. Well, then, I'm just gonna remind you that I love you and that I will be here to help you through this.

>>> Max: My crisis counselor?

>>> Stephanie: Something like that. But when did you find out that he was your dad? And why didn't he recognize you at the book signing?

>>> Max: I found out he was my father years ago. I-I don't think he's seen me since I was a kid. I didn't even know he saw me then, but you heard him. He said that he checked up on me when I was adopted by the bradys.

>>> Stephanie: I don't understand what kind of parent could abandon their child.

>>> Max: I'm glad he did, 'cause otherwise I wouldn't have met ma and pop.

>>> Stephanie: So when are you gonna tell her?

>>> Max: Oh, no. I'm not ready for that. No.

>>> Stephanie: Your mom is the most understanding person i know, and you'll feel better once you talk to her about it. What do you say?

>>> Caroline: Here you are. Anything else?

>>> John: Fantastic. Thank you.

>>> Marlena: All righty. Shall we talk about ava, or do you want to act as though the situation does not exist?

>>> John: Before you go shrink on me, there's someone else we need to talk about.

>>> Marlena: Who's that?

>>> John: Philip kiriakis.

>[ Birds chirping in distance ]

>> Philip: [ Sighs ]

>>> Morgan: Okay. So, who's the lucky hottie?

>>> Chelsea: Um --

>>> Morgan: [ Gasps ] Is it that guy that we met at dune?

>>> Chelsea: It's daniel.

>>> Morgan: Dr. Jonas?

>>> Chelsea: Yeah. He finally asked me out and not for drinks or for coffee but for, like, dinner.

>>> Morgan: Wow. You seem really excited.

>>> Chelsea: And I can totally picture it, you know? There'll be like this, like, cool, little, romantic table for two, and we'll probably order a bottle of wine. And we'll talk. He has, like, the most amazing stories, and, um, we'll order. I'll probably get a salad 'cause I'll be, like, way too nervous to eat anything else. And then, um, afterwards, who knows?

>>> Morgan: You wouldn't actually, like...

> you know on the first date, would you?

>> Chelsea: Well, daniel's too much of a gentleman, but a girl can dream, right?

>>> Morgan: Honey, don't you think you're jumping in just a little too quick?

>>> Chelsea: No. I already told you. He and I -- we have, like, this -- this connection.

>>> Morgan: Okay, but, I mean, just a couple of weeks ago, you didn't think so. I mean, didn't he pretty much blow you off?

>>> Chelsea: Well, he was worried about what everyone would think.

>>> Morgan: Sweetie, you sound like you're making excuses for him.

>>> Chelsea: You know what, morgan? Why can't you just be happy for me?

>>> Morgan: [ Sighs ]

>>> Stephanie: You know I can't force you, but I really wish you'd talk to your mom.

>>> Max: I'll think about it. I can't promise you more than that, okay?

>>> Stephanie: Just remember she loves you.

>>> Max: I know.

>>> Stephanie: Okay. I have to meet chelsea and morgan at the gym. Are you gonna be here all day?

>>> Max: Yeah.

>>> Stephanie: I'll meet you later.

>>> Max: All right.

>>> Stephanie: Just tell her the truth. I know she'll be totally supportive, okay? I'll see you later.

>>> Caroline: Are you leaving?

>>> Stephanie: Yes. I need to go work off these blueberry pancakes, so I'll see you later. Love you.

>>> Caroline: Max.

>>> Max: Yep.

>>> Caroline: Is there something on your mind?

>>> Trent: See, I thought you'd be inside on your second bloody mary by now.

>>> Nicole: I'd rather the gossip gods not see us together.

>>> Trent: Oh, you hurt my feelings, nicky.

>>> Nicole: We shouldn't even be talking.

>>> Trent: Oh, come on. This reunion of ours is fate.

>>> Nicole: No.

>>> Trent: Nicky... I let you go once. Hey. I'm not gonna make that mistake again.

>>> Nicole: Please don't do this.

>>> Marlena: You want to talk about philip. Why, because you think he's still responsible for the drug bust?

>>> John: I know he is.

>>> Marlena: When are you going to give this up?

>>> John: Well, that's not how the game is played. The kid thinks he can win, but he's in for a big surprise.

>>> Nicole: We are never going back, trent, because there's nothing to go back to. You have your life, and I have mine. Let's just leave it at that.

>>> Trent: You don't really feel that way, nicky.

>>> Nicole: I-I still can't believe after all these years you've managed to finagle some cushy university job.

>>> Trent: Yeah, well, I haven't lost a step.

>>> Nicole: Yeah. Well, the people here don't know you like I do.

>>> Trent: Yeah, well, there is one person who, uh, knows me a little more than I'd like.

>>> Caroline: Max, please talk to me.

>>> Max: I'm sorry, ma. I can'T.

>>> Caroline: That's it. That's it. You're walking around here with a dark cloud over your head for weeks, and it's about time you tell me why.

>>> Morgan: Chelsea, don't be upset.

>>> Chelsea: I'm sorry, morgan, but you're one of my best friends. I just expected you to be supportive.

>>> Morgan: I am. I just don't want to see you get hurt.

>>> Chelsea: I'm not going to. Besides, I thought that you liked daniel.

>>> Morgan: I do. He seems like a nice enough guy. I just -- how well do you really know him?

>>> Chelsea: Well enough to know that he would never deliberately hurt me. Look, he's my grandfather's godson. He's completely trustworthy.

>>> Morgan: And victor knows about your date?

>>> Chelsea: Yes, morgan. When daniel asked me out, he did so in front of my grandfather, and he was okay with it, so you should be, too.

>>> Morgan: Look, I just want you to be careful. He's a lot older than you are.

>>> Chelsea: Why is everybody so hung up on the age thing? So he's older than me -- big deal. Girls mature faster than guys.

>>> Morgan: This is not high school, okay? You are not a freshman dating a senior. I mean, dr. Jonas is old enough to be your --

>>> Chelsea: Stop.

>>> Morgan: Well, he is, isn't he?

>>> Chelsea: Okay. Fine. Let's say -- I don't know -- johnny depp, who's 45 -- let's say that he asked you out on a date. You're telling me that you would say no because of the age?

>>> Morgan: You're being ridiculous.

>>> Chelsea: No, morgan, you're being ridiculous. Look, I appreciate your concern, but I am going out on my date with daniel tonight, and I'm gonna have a good time. All right?

>>> Morgan: Okay.

>>> Chelsea: Okay. So, let's talk wardrobe. I got this really, really cute dress from ballistix, but i don't have any shoes to match it. Are you wearing lipstick? Oh, my gosh. She is totally one of those girls that we make fun of at the gym. I'm just kidding, steph.

>>> Morgan: Sweetie, what's the matter?

>>> Stephanie: It's max.

>>> Kate: [ Sighs ] Just leave. You're not my doctor.

>>> Daniel: No, but I'm a doctor who cares about you, and I'm just here to make sure you're doing okay.

>>> Kate: Well, I will. I will if I'm left alone.

>>> Lindsay: So if you ever need anyone to watch theo...

>>> Lexie: Why, thank you, lindsay. We're always looking for good babysitters.

>>> Kate: God, I can't deal with this right now!

>>> Lexie: Excuse me. What on earth is going on in here?

>>> Chloe: Hey, no encore?

>>> Philip: Does breakfast in bed count?

>>> Chloe: That depends.

>[ Cellphone ringing ] Mmm. Let it ring.

>> Philip: No, it could be work.

>>> Chloe: Or what's her face.

>>> Philip: This is philip.

>>> John: John black.

>>> Philip: What a perfect way to start my day.

>>> John: I need to see you.

>>> Philip: I'm kind of busy right now.

>>> John: Brady pub. I'll be waiting.

>>> Chloe: Who was that?

>>> Philip: 86 breakfast in bed. We're going to the pub for breakfast.

> Now, get ultra

protection to help you heal...

>> Lexie: What is all the commotion about?

>>> Kate: Could you kindly ask dr. Jonas to leave?

>>> Daniel: No, it's okay. It's okay. I'm out of here. Sorry.

>>> Lexie: Is there something you want to tell me?

>>> Nicole: Someone else knows your dirty little secrets. Who is it? A professor who has his sights on your job? Or is it a jilted lover who has an appetite for revenge? Please, tell me. I can't stand the suspense.

>>> Trent: Uh, it's one of my students.

>>> Nicole: [ Scoffs ] A pretty co-ed hoping for an "a"? These women of yours keep getting younger and younger, don't they?

>>> Trent: No, actually it's one of my grad students -- the kind of guy that, uh, just loves to challenge every word I say. Yeah, he thinks he knows me, but he doesn't have a clue.

>[ Chuckles ] You know, it's inconceivable what kids will do to get a good grade these days. Would you believe that he has gone so far as to threaten me?

>> Nicole: Sounds like my kind of guy.

>>> Max: Look, ma, I just can't talk about it right now. Trust me.

>>> Caroline: Max, you've got to trust me. You're my son, and I love you. If you're in pain, it hurts me. No parent wants to see their child suffer.

>>> Max: You'd be surprised.

>>> Nick: Hey, max, I burned the mix cd you wanted, and I put some bonus tracks on there, too.

>>> Max: Right. Thanks.

>>> Nick: Um, I'm sorry. Did I -- I walked in on, like, a conversation? I can go.

>>> Caroline: No. Nick, stay. Perhaps you can talk some sense into my son.

>>> Morgan: Sweetie, what's going on with max?

>>> Stephanie: Forget I said anything. You guys want a smoothie or something?

>>> Chelsea: No. You can't do that. You said that something's wrong. We're your friends. We want to know what.

>>> Morgan: Chelsea's right.

>>> Stephanie: I can't get into it. I promised max.

>>> Morgan: Honey, we're your friends. We're not gonna say anything.

>>> Chelsea: Did you get into another fight?

>>> Stephanie: No.

>>> Chelsea: Then what?

>>> Stephanie: He's holding this huge secret, and I'm the only one who knows about it.

>>> Morgan: And you think he should tell somebody else?

>>> Stephanie: Yes, but you know max. He's too stubborn.

>>> Chelsea: Okay, well, can't you talk to him?

>>> Stephanie: I have tried. And every time I think I'm getting through to him, he just freaks out again.

>>> Morgan: Maybe he just needs some time.

>>> Stephanie: It's just so frustrating. If he would just open up about it, he would feel a million times better. The longer he keeps it inside, the angrier he's gonna get.

>>> Morgan: You think you should talk to his mom?

>>> Stephanie: No. Trust me. She's the last person I can talk to about this.

>[ Cellphone ringing ]

>> Chelsea: You guys, it's him.

>>> Stephanie: Him who?

>>> Chelsea: My date tonight -- daniel.

>>> Stephanie: Your date?

>>> Chelsea: Yeah, but you're in crisis mode, so I won't --

>>> Stephanie: Who cares? Answer the phone.

>>> Chelsea: What if he's calling to cancel?

>>> Stephanie: Answer it, or i will. Go.

>>> Chelsea: It went to voicemail.

>>> Stephanie: I told you to answer it.

>>> Morgan: Did he leave a message?

>>> Chelsea: No. What do you think I should do? Should I call him back, or is that weird?

>>> Stephanie: Give me that.

>>> Chelsea: What are you doing?

>[ Beep ]

>> Stephanie: It should be ringing.

>>> Chelsea: Daniel. Hi. Um, it's chelsea.

>>> Daniel: I just tried to call you.

>>> Chelsea: Yeah, I know. Um, I-I couldn't get to my phone in time. What's up?

>>> Daniel: Well, are we still on for tonight?

>>> Chelsea: Yeah.

>>> Daniel: Well, I got us reservations -- chez rouge, 7:30. Does that work for you?

>>> Chelsea: Yeah.

>>> Daniel: Um...great.

>>> Chelsea: Great.

>>> Daniel: Are you having second thoughts?

>>> Chelsea: No. Why? Are you?

>>> Daniel: No. No. I'm actually looking forward to it.

>>> Chelsea: Me too.

>>> Daniel: Uh, okay. Bye.

>>> Chelsea: Bye.

>>> Stephanie: It looks like he didn't cancel.

>>> Chelsea: 7:30 at chez rouge.

>>> Stephanie: What are you gonna wear?

>>> Morgan: Oh, don't encourage her.

>>> Stephanie: Why not?

>>> Chelsea: Morgan doesn't think that I should go.

>>> Morgan: I just don't think it's a good idea.

>>> Chelsea: Would you please talk some sense into her?

>>> Stephanie: Yeah.

>>> Chloe: Who was that guy with nicole?

>>> Philip: I don't know, and i don't care. Good morning, marlena.

>>> Marlena: Philip.

>>> Philip: Okay, john, so, what's this about?

>>> John: Cut to the chase. I like that.

>>> Philip: Well?

>>> John: Our little dispute has gotten out of hand.

>>> Philip: Oh, look at that. We agree on something.

>>> John: But I have a fast and easy solution.

>>> Philip: Well, this should be good.

>>> John: It's time for you to cut your losses, philip. Step down. Accept defeat.

>>> Announcer: We will return for the second half of "days of our lives" in just a moment.

>>> Philip: You want me to just step down and give up?

>>> John: That's right.

>>> Philip: Come on.

>>> John: If you need time to think about it, that's fine. You have until the end of the day to get back to me.

>>> Philip: You don't give me ultimatums, and there's nothing to think about. It's not gonna happen.

>>> John: Philip, I am giving you the perfect opportunity to bow out gracefully, to... avoid public humiliation.

>>> Philip: What world are you living in, john? You're the criminal here.

>>> John: Because you set me up.

>>> Philip: We're through here. Nice to see you, marlena.

>>> Marlena: Philip.

>>> Chloe: What a jerk.

>>> Philip: Here. Get yourself some breakfast. I'm gonna hit the gym, work off some steam. I'll call you later.

>[ Door opens, closes ]

>> Marlena: I wonder why he wouldn't accept your suggestion.

>>> John: Because he's a fool.

>>> Stephanie: So, what did your dad say when you told him about daniel?

>>> Chelsea: Um, I did not.

>>> Stephanie: Why not?

>>> Chelsea: Because he would freak out. Then he would give me some giant lecture about how I should be dating guys my own age. Your dad would do the same thing.

>>> Stephanie: I didn't think about that. Yeah, he would freak. What about you, morgan? What would your dad say?

>>> Morgan: I honestly don't know. You know, I thought I knew my dad pretty well, but it turns out I didn't really know him at all.

>>> Stephanie: Uh, did something happen?

>>> Chelsea: He's not still in trouble, is he?

>>> Morgan: Why else would he have left salem?

>>> Chelsea: He left?

>>> Stephanie: Oh, my god. When?

>>> Morgan: Last night. He said he didn't really think he had a choice.

>>> Chelsea: I can't believe he would do that.

>>> Morgan: Look, you know what? Once he realizes he made a mistake, he'll be back.

>>> Max: I need your help more than ever, ma.

>[ Knock on door ] Look, if ma sent you up here to talk some sense into me --

>> Nick: She's not the only one who's worried about you, max.

> Kosher hot dogs only use the

finest cuts of kosher beef.

>> Nick: I wanted to give this to you earlier, but you kind of ran off.

>>> Max: Summer school. No, thanks.

>>> Nick: It's not too late to register for the july session, and there's this class I think you'd really be good at, and --

>>> Max: Look, nick, forget it, okay? I'm not interested, and you know that. Besides, I have two jobs I have to deal with, one of which i have to get back to.

>>> Nick: Well, if you just took a couple of night classes each semester, you could probably --

>>> Max: I could get my degree. Great. And then I could finish a book and treat people like garbage!

>>> Nick: What are you talking about?

>>> Max: Just forget about it, all right?

>>> Nick: Okay, I just don't want you to look back on this and say, "what if I had gone to school? What if I really honed my skills?"

>>> Max: The only skill that i need right now is how to pour beer. I need to get back to work.

>>> Nick: Look, max, um... I never really told you this, but when I first got to salem, you were the man. You had this confidence. People wanted to be around you. And I admired that because it was something that I didn't really have. So when I see you acting like this and the hostility and the always putting yourself down, it makes me wonder what happened to the old max.

>>> Philip: Hey, man, I thought that was your car outside.

>>> Daniel: No rock star parking, huh?

>>> Philip: How much longer on this?

>>> Daniel: Nothing, man. Jump right on. I saw your mother this morning.

>>> Philip: Oh, yeah? How is she?

>>> Daniel: She's recovering. Had enough energy to bite my head off.

>>> Philip: She still giving you static about being her doctor?

>>> Daniel: You could say that.

>>> Philip: I'm sorry, man. I don't know what that's about.

>>> Daniel: Your mother's a complete mystery to me, man.

>>> Philip: All women are.

>>> Daniel: There's nothing more complicated than the female species.

>>> Philip: Yeah. So, why do we need them -- besides the obvious?

>>> Daniel: You're right there, man. See, that's the thing. That's the tricky part. Because you are living your life, traveling the world. It's just one big, wild adventure. And then you just meet a woman and -- bam -- like everything just goes out the window. Surfing trip to bali -- canceled. Monday night football -- click, don't need that. What kind of mind-altering drug is that?

>>> Philip: I don't know. You tell me. You're the doctor.

>>> Daniel: I wish I knew, but it's scary, 'cause the second that you find the one, it's all you think about. But how do you know, right? How do you know that you're not just looking for something new and exciting when it's actually the real deal?

>>> Philip: Tell me about it.

>>> Daniel: Look at that. Right there. See? You just did it. That's what I'm talking about right there. Look, I'm trying to help you, man. You cannot go into a relationship in that state of mind.

>>> Philip: Are we talking about you here?

>>> Daniel: That obvious, huh?

>>> Philip: I'm right there with you, man.

>>> Daniel: Yeah.

>>> Trent: So, I was hoping that maybe we could go out for dinner tonight -- hmm? -- Just the two of us. You still like ribs? Hmm? Oh, hello, stephanie. Nice to see you again.

>>> Chelsea: Um, steph, why were you just so rude to dean robbins?

>>> Stephanie: Trust me, I have my reasons. Do you guys see max?

>>> Morgan: [ Groans ]

>>> Chelsea: No.

>>> Stephanie: Are you okay?

>>> Morgan: Oh! Cramps.

>>> Chelsea: I hate that. It's the worst. It's always back before you know it.

>>> Stephanie: Yep. Exercising didn't help?

>>> Morgan: Usually it does, but not today.

>>> Stephanie: You know what? You are in luck, missy.

>>> Morgan: [ Chuckles ] My mom uses this.

>>> Stephanie: You don't? You should. It really works.

>>> Chelsea: She's right. I mean, look. It says on the box, even. It takes care of cramps, bloating, fatigue, and backache."

>>> Morgan: For real?

>>> Stephanie: Mm-hmm.

>>> Morgan: All right.

>[ Sighs ] Damn. I cannot believe that harlot chloe's here.

>> Chelsea: I'm sorry. What? Harlot?

>>> Morgan: It's a southern thing. Now I got a headache, too.

>>> Stephanie: Well, it's a good thing you're gonna take midol, because it'll make that disappear.

>>> Chelsea: It's the miracle drug.

>>> Morgan: Too bad it can't make chloe disappear.

>>> Stephanie: All right. I'll be right back. Hi, grandma.

>>> Caroline: Hi. How was the gym?

>>> Stephanie: It was all right. Um, did max talk to you at all?

>>> Caroline: I'm afraid not. Excuse me, dear. Excuse me.

>>> Stephanie: Damn it, max.

>>> Lexie: I was surprised when daniel told me that you requested another doctor.

>>> Kate: Well, I thought I was entitled to make the decision, and now I'm getting feedback about it from everyone.

>>> Lexie: Daniel's an excellent surgeon. I was wondering why you didn't want him to perform your surgery.

>>> Kate: Say abe was in the hospital. I don't think you'd do the surgery on him. I think it's a conflict of interest.

>>> Lexie: Abe's my husband. Daniel's your friend. I've operated on friends before.

>>> Kate: I'm uncomfortable with it -- end of story.

>>> Lexie: Okay.

>>> Kate: Whoa.

>>> Theo: Mom!

>>> Lexie: Sweetheart, hi. Hey. Listen, mommy can't come right now, okay?

>>> Abe: Yeah, mommy's not done yet. I'm sorry.

>>> Kate: Hey, that's okay.

>>> Lexie: Are we late?

>>> Abe: No. We're early.

>>> Kate: Look at you. That's all right, sweetie. How you doing, theo?

>>> Abe: Okay, kiddo. Come on. Yeah. We're be out in the hall, so don't rush.

>>> Lexie: Okay.

>>> Abe: Come on.

>>> Kate: [ Chuckles ] Lexie? Lexie?!

>>> Lexie: Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, kate.

>>> Kate: Are you okay? You seem distracted.

>>> Lexie: Uh, we're taking theo in for some tests today.

>>> Kate: Oh. I hope it's nothing serious.

>>> Lexie: Yeah. So do I.

>>> John: What are we looking for?

>>> Marlena: It's -- it's my, uh, appointment book. It's brown leather, about that size. I thought I just left it somewhere right here. Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh. What are you, a bird dog? Okay. That's it. Thanks.

>>> John: So that's it?

>>> Marlena: Uh... you know, we never finished our conversation that we began earlier.

>>> John: About ava?

>>> Marlena: Yes. But actually it's more -- really more about us.

>>> John: Hmm. Sounds serious.

>>> Marlena: Well, I just think we have to, um, be serious about it. I mean, we've got to be fair. You don't want to be the old john, and I'm not sure that i can accept the new john.

>>> John: And the solution is...

>>> Marlena: I don't know. But if we can't come to some resolution pretty soon, I think we... should file for divorce.

>>> Philip: Yeah, well, you know, sometimes relationships can be a lot more trouble than they're worth.

>>> Daniel: Yeah.

>>> Philip: You know, why don't we move to tibet and become monks? Meditate on that.

>>> Daniel: Oh. Oh, I'm gonna meditate on that. Ooh. Man.

>>> Philip: So, you have any advice on how I can fix my mess?

>>> Daniel: Dude, I can't fix my own mess.

>>> Philip: You're single, you're a doctor, you're good-looking. That's like the trifecta. That's exactly what the ladies want.

>>> Daniel: Shut up.

>>> Philip: No, I mean it. Why do you think treadmill tina keeps walking by?

>>> Daniel: To check you out.

>>> Philip: No, man. She was checking you out.

>>> Daniel: Oh, no, no. I think she was checking you --

>>> Hi, boys.

>>> Daniel: Hi.

>>> Philip: Hello.

>[ Exhales deeply ] You should go for that.

>> Daniel: Well, you know, treadmill tina's really just not my type.

>>> Philip: Since when?

>>> Daniel: Uh, all right, look. Okay. I have a little crazy thing for this woman I keep kind of pushing away. That's all.

>>> Philip: How come?

>>> Daniel: Uh, a bit of an age difference. I mean, not that there's anything wrong with that, but --

>>> Philip: You're just worried what other people might think.

>>> Daniel: Which is so not my style, and now I'm supposed to be the cautious one? Let me tell you something. Caution has never been my strong suit. I see a risk. I take it. I always have.

>>> Philip: Well, then, go for it.

>>> Daniel: Okay. And there's my problem. Uhh! Let's hope I don't wipe out.

>>> Stephanie: You didn't tell your mom.

>>> Max: How do I do that without hurting her?

>>> Stephanie: You could hurt her more by not telling her.

>>> Max: [ Sighs ]

>>> Stephanie: Look. When your mom adopted you, she knew that there was a chance that one day you could find your biological parents. It's probably not as big a deal as you think it is, okay?

>>> Max: Ma, you got a second?

>>> Caroline: Of course.

>>> Max: I need to talk to you about something. It's about my biological father.

> (Mary)

we're looking for everyone

>> Lexie: Theo's been having trouble with the other kids at daycare.

>>> Kate: Oh.

>>> Lexie: Yeah. It's been very frustrating for abe and me. We just want some answers.

>>> Kate: Of course you do.

>>> Lexie: Yeah. It's difficult to treat someone when you don't have a diagnosis.

>>> Kate: Well, I hope you get all the answers that you're looking for.

>>> Lexie: Thanks, kate.

>>> Kate: You should go, all right? Don't keep that little boy waiting.

>>> Lexie: See you later.

>>> Philip: So, this woman you're talking about -- it's chelsea, isn't it?

>>> Daniel: Uh, yeah, yeah.

>>> Philip: Well, I think that's great.

>>> Daniel: Yeah? Well, not everyone shares your sentiment.

>>> Philip: You mean my mother?

>>> Daniel: She's gonna go through the roof when she finds out about our date tonight.

>>> Philip: So what? Out of all the girls I've ever been with, I think belle's the only one she's approved of.

>>> Daniel: Really? What about this woman -- or should I say "women" -- you're seeing now?

>>> Philip: I need to figure out what I want before I let my mother interfere. And, trust me, she will have something to say about it.

>>> Daniel: It sounds like kate's not gonna be happy with either one of us.

>>> Philip: Too bad.

>>> Daniel: You're damn right. Too bad.

>>> Max: I found out who my biological father is.

>>> Caroline: Oh, sweetheart. How long have you known?

>>> Max: Quite a while. I-I just didn't want to tell you because --

>>> Caroline: 'Cause you thought that I'd be upset. Come here, sweetheart. Oh, max. Thank you for telling me.

>>> Chloe: Hey, morgan.

>>> Morgan: [ Sighs ] Chloe, I'm not in the mood for another fight.

>>> Chloe: Come on. Let's sit. I'll buy you a cup of coffee.

>>> Morgan: Look, if you're still angry because I kissed philip, get over it.

>>> Chloe: That news is so five minutes ago. Listen. I just wanted to tell you that philip has this pattern. He finds a young girl, and he uses her to boost his ego.

>>> Morgan: Philip is not like that.

>>> Chloe: Honey, I have known the guy since high school. Trust me. Your relationship is nothing more a casual flirtation. I don't want you to get hurt. So for your sake, I would stay away from him.

>>> Morgan: Wow, chloe, you must really feel threatened by me. And you know what? You should.

>>> John: So you want a divorce?

>>> Marlena: I didn't say that. But I think it's important for you to explore your options.

>>> John: You're giving me permission to see other women?

>>> Marlena: Yes.

>>> John: Are you sure you want to do that?

>>> Marlena: Look, the more i think about it, the more it seems like the right thing to do.

>>> John: Oh, boy. You sure come out of left field sometimes.

>>> Marlena: John, I've been pushing you to make a decision you are not ready to make. So...I-if you want to, you should go ahead and try things out with ava or whoever else you choose...and see how that works for you, and -- well, if you c-come back to me of your own volition... that's fine. And if you don't, then we can end it.

>>> John: And you're doing this because...

>>> Marlena: Because I love you so much.

>>> Sami: E.J.'S moving out.

>>> E.J.: The hell I am.

>>> Philip: I don't know what i want, but I get the feeling that chloe's not gonna be too happy if it isn't her.

>>> Lucas: I know who set that fire, and I'm not gonna let my brother burn for it. Oprah: If you think your divorce is not affecting your ch knows.H $hh hhh @ @ @ @ " j &? ?"???ó
