document: Lauren: Fenmore's boutique.
  Michael: Hey, beautiful.
  Lauren: Michael. Nice to hear from you finally.
  Michael: And how's my best gal? You have time for dinner tonight?
  Lauren: Uh, hold on. I'll be right with you. Look, I only have a few minutes. You were saying?
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Kevin: Uh, are you comfortable, sir? Would you like another pillow?
  John: I'm just fine.
  Kevin: Um... well, I'd like to thank you for agreeing to speak with me.
  John: Well, I agreed because I feel I owe you a great debt, and I wanted to personally thank you. I would've bled to death had you not found me and made that tourniquet.
  Kevin: Well, you know, I'm just--I'm glad that I found you when I did. And, you know, my mom is real happy that you're doin' so well.
  John: What were you doing here that day? I mean, why did you come to our home?
  Kevin: Um, to-- to talk to you, sir.
  John: About the situation with your mother.
  Kevin: Yes. Mr. Abbott, my mom loves you. Since the two of you got married she's happy. I think that you should give her a second chance.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Kay: That pool will get a lot of use this summer. I'll need it cleaned twice a week.
  Man: Twice a week? Uh, most clients only really need it cleaned once a week.
  Kay: Well, I'm sorry, but if you can't make it, I--
  Man: Oh, no, no, no, no. Twice a week works fine for me.
  Kay: All right.
  Man: However, do you have any pool supplies on hand?
  Kay: Um, Esther, do you know about this? Pool supplies, where would they be?
  Esther: Oh, in the equipment shed by the cabanas.
  Man: Do you mind if I check that out, see what I need to bring next time?
  Kay: Oh, fine, fine. Help yourself.
  Man: Great. Thank you.
  Kay: Hmm.
  Esther: He's cuter than the last one.
  Kay: Yes, he is very attractive, is he not?
  Esther: He'll get lost. I better go show him where the shed is.
  Kay:  Chuckles  oh, you do that, Esther.
  Esther: Okay.
  Kay: Well, hello, my darling.
  Mac: Hi, Grandma.
  Kay: You have certainly made yourself very scarce today. Are you all right?
  Mac: Actually, I'm sort of bummed out.
  Kay: You are bummed out? Ah, the phone has not been ringing.
  Mac: J.T. hasn't called once since I moved out. I don't--I'm thinking of moving back into the loft.
  Kay: Shh. Shh.
  Mac: I'm really not cut out for playing these games.
  Kay: Mackenzie, I will bet you $5 you will hear from Mr. Hellstrom by day's end. Bet ya.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Phyllis: Oh, there you are. Hey, guess who I ran into at the Abbott house. Kevin Fisher. I told him to keep his distance. The last thing I need is for you to get messed up with him again. Oh, man. What's going on? Why are you so quiet? Are you in pain? Huh? You know, they say that sometimes, um, you hurt worse a few days after the accident.
  Daniel: Yeah? Well, I'm definitely hurting.
  Phyllis: Is it your neck? Is it your back?
  Daniel: No, it's not that kind of pain, Mom.
  Phyllis: What is it?
  Daniel: I don't think you're gonna like this.
  Phyllis: Oh, God. What is it?
  Daniel: Lily was here. And then her mom came by and kind of dragged her outta here.
  Phyllis: Lily. That's great. That's great. That's the last thing I need. I told you, please, don't get involved with that girl.
  Daniel: Mom, I kinda needed a friend, okay?
  Phyllis: Well, you have me. I'm your friend. I mean, if you need a friend so bad, why do you have to choose Lily Winters? Man, you just have a knack for picking lousy friends.
  Daniel: Can you not talk that way about Lily, please?
  Phyllis: I'm talking about Kevin Fisher mainly.
  Daniel: Well, it's funny that you should bring his name up.
  Phyllis: Why?
  Daniel: I don't know. I just finally understand how he feels, you know? Everybody hating you, nobody wants to listen. My friends won't even talk to me.
  Phyllis: Let me tell you something. Let me tell you something right now. If the world comes crashing down around you, you have me. Do you understand that? Not Lily Winters, not Kevin Fisher, me.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Neil: Lily, are you home?
  Lily: Yeah, Dad.
  Neil: Can you come here for a minute, please?
  Lily: Hey.
  Neil: Hey. Um... look, I just got a call from your mother.
  Lily: Yeah. I knew you would.
  Neil: She told me she found you with Daniel.
  Lily: Are you mad?
  Neil: No, I'm not mad. I'm just very disappointed. How many different ways do we have to explain to you that we don't want you hanging around that kid?
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Nick: How's her fever?
  Nurse: The same. I'll be back soon to check on her.
  Nick: Okay. Thank you.
  Sharon: How you feeling, sweetie?
  Cassie: Tired. I'm--I'm having some weird dreams. I'm at the party and I'm talking to Daniel, and he's been drinking beer.
  Nick: I'm sure you're gonna have nightmares for awhile.
  Cassie: It's just-- it's all jumbled up, and I can't... make any sense of it.
  Sharon: Well, don't worry. We know what happened, and you don't have to dwell on the accident.
  Nick: Your mom's right. The only thing you need to focus on is getting better.
  Cassie: But I'm starting to remember little pieces of the party.
  Sharon: Hey. We'll talk about all that when you're better, okay?
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  John: Frankly, had I seen you on my doorstep that day, I would've shut the door in your face.
  Kevin: That's a chance I was willing to take, Mr. Abbott. The thing is, you and my mom, you have something special.
  John: No, had something special.
  Kevin: No. I don't buy that, sir. If you really wanted to get rid of my mom, you would've kicked her out by now. Since you haven't done that...
  John: Look, none of that matters. Your mother and I have insurmountable issues.
  Kevin: Insurmountable meaning you can't get past her lying to you?
  John: That's right.
  Kevin: Mr. Abbott, you know that she loves you. She was afraid. She knew how you would react if you knew the truth.
  John: But she never gave me the opportunity.
  Kevin: Mom is a good person, sir. You've seen that in her.
  John: Look, look, I cannot forget your past, your mother's lies. I think it's best we end this conversation right now.
  Kevin: No. No, you said that you owed me. I'm here to collect.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Michael: Look, I know you're busy and this is the last minute, but will you come over for dinner later? I'll make my special jambalaya, nice and spicy, the way you like it.
  Lauren: I have tentative plans. I-I'm not sure I can give you an answer right now.
  Michael: Well I'll be at home chopping and simmering and waiting and hoping you'll come by.
  Lauren: No guarantees.
  Michael: I understand.
  Lauren: Maybe, okay? Look, I have a customer. I have to get going.
  Michael: I understand. I'll see you later?
  Lauren: Bye.
  Lauren: I'm sorry. I hope I didn't keep you waiting.
  Tom: No, no, it's okay.
  Lauren: Is there anything I can help you with?
  Tom: Yeah, please. I'm lookin' for a necklace...
  Lauren: Oh.
  Tom: For somebody really special.
  Lauren: Okay. So do you have a price range?
  Tom: Well, you know, somethin' nice, but, uh, not too nice 'cause I'm on a bit of a budget. Although I am expecting that I'll come into some money pretty soon.
  Lauren: Hmm. Playing the lottery or something?
  Tom: Uh, no, no, I don't like those odds. I-I like to go for the sure thing, you know? In fact, I'm working on a deal right now that, uh, really fits the bill. Yeah, I got some friends in the right places helping me out.
  Lauren: That's what friends are for, right?
  Tom: Oh, they sure are.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Michael: It's you. Since when do you ring?
  Gloria: That's a fine way to greet your mother.
  Michael: Look, I am cooking for Lauren tonight. I haven't even started preparing. I don't mean to be rude, but I'm in a bit of a time crunch right now, so--
  Gloria: Just wait till you hear what I have to tell you.
  Michael: Okay, make it short.
  Gloria: At this very moment, your brother Kevin is meeting with John. Isn't that wonderful?
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Lily: Look, I heard you the first 10,000 times. You don't want me seeing Daniel.
  Neil: Lily, hold on a minute. You know, this isn't about Kevin anymore. Daniel was arrested. If Cassie dies, he'll be charged with her death.
  Lily: Right, which is all the more reason why he needs me. Dad, he needs someone in his corner standing up for him. He's going through a tough time in his life right now.
  Neil: I am sure the young man is. And I understand your sensitivity. But that someone can't be you. Lily, listen to me. You got a lot-- I'm talkin' a lot of stuff-- goin' on in your life right now. You know, your mother and I, we don't want you takin' on somethin' like this. You get too involved, you'll end up paying the price for someone else's mistakes.
  Lily: I won't. I won't, okay? No more Daniel.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Sharon: What is it?
  Olivia: Cassie's fever went down 2/10 of a degree.
  Sharon: Oh, my God. Oh, my baby.
  Nick: Her memory's coming back. She's remembering little pieces about the party.
  Olivia: Mm-hmm. That's an excellent sign.
  Sharon: She's gonna get better.
  Olivia: Well, it's important she get a lot of rest. All we can do right now is wait for that temperature to go down even more. She's not out of the woods, but she's holding her own.
  Sharon: Oh, Olivia, thank you. Thank you so much.
  Olivia: You're welcome. Okay, well, I will check back when I have more news.
  Sharon: Okay.
  Nick: Thank you.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Mac: Sure you wanna lose that 5 bucks, Grandma? 'Cause somethin' tells me he's not gonna call.
  Kay: Darling, would you please give J.T. time to miss you? You will see. He will come around.  Telephone rings 
  Kay: Uh, pardon me, pardon me. Yes, hello.
  J.T.: Hi, Mrs. Chancellor. It's J.T.
  Kay: J.T., I'm surprised to hear from you.
  J.T.: Well, I wanna make sure you're gonna be around. I want to come by and pick up that rent check you promised me.
  Kay: Yes, yes, I'll be here. Come on by.
  J.T.: I'm on my way.
  Mac: So what was that about?
  Kay: He is coming by.
  Mac: He probably just wants the rent.
  Kay: Yes, he, um, he mentioned that, but, um, I think there's more to it.
  Mac: I doubt it.
  Kay: Uh, Mackenzie, you know so very little about men. Now, um, I know how you think one should not play games... but would you please listen to your dear, dear Grandmother one more time?
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Lauren: Looks like we've narrowed it down to two-- the turquoise and the little crystal one.
  Tom: Which one do you like?
  Lauren: Hmm. Well, I like them both, actually, but they're very different.
  Tom: Mm, maybe if I could see them on. Would you mind, uh, you know, holdin' 'em up to your lovely neck?
  Lauren: Okay. All right, this one--it's a little bit more flamboyant, you know, but very nice.
  Tom: Yeah.
  Lauren: And then this one... a bit more understated. Which one do you think would appeal to her?
  Tom: Oh, neither. I'm--I think I like that one.
  Lauren: Oh, that one is beautiful.
  Tom: Yeah.
  Lauren: It's a great choice. All right. So is there anything else?
  Tom: Uh, no, that'll do for now.
  Lauren: Okay. I don't have any boxes here, so I'll go in the back and get some, okay?
  Tom: Okay. Yeah.
  Tom: Insurance.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Dru: How are you feelin', Daniel?
  Daniel: I'm fine.
  Dru: Good, good. I-I'm sorry about earlier. I know I went off on you.
  Daniel: It's okay.
  Dru: Okay. Well, um, I'd like to talk to you privately, Phyllis, if that's...
  Phyllis: If you have something to say to me, you can say it in front of my son.
  Daniel: You know what, Mom? I'm gonna take some of that stuff over to the Abbotts' place. All the boxes stacked out front, they're all goin', right?
  Phyllis: Yeah. I want you to go there and come right back, okay?
  Daniel: Okay.
  Phyllis: What do you need to talk about?
  Dru: Uh, did Daniel mention to you what happened earlier?
  Phyllis: He may have mentioned something.
  Dru: Yeah, I came over here to tell you how things were poppin' and snappin' at Newman Enterprises only to find my daughter with Daniel.
  Phyllis: So you came all the way over here to tell me that your daughter was with my son.
  Dru: Understand my position. My daughter is vulnerable to Daniel.
  Phyllis: My son is vulnerable, too.
  Dru: Okay, mother to mother, okay? Let's keep the kids apart, Phyllis. They're all wrong for each other.
  Phyllis: Drucilla, what are you doing? My son is looking at spending the rest of his youth behind bars, not to mention he may be responsible for the death of a young child.
  Dru: Okay, listen, time's are tough for everybody right now, okay?
  Phyllis: Times are tough for me and my son. Listen... I hate to say this, but Lily is really the last thing on my mind right now. So you're her mother, you keep her in line.
  Dru: And you keep your son in line.
  Phyllis: You keep your daughter in line.
  Dru: No, you know what? Let's just change the subject. Let's talk about business.
  Phyllis: Oh, that's a safe subject.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Lily: Hi, Mr. and Mrs. Newman.
  Nick: Hi, Lily.
  Sharon: Lily.
  Lily: Um, I just came by to see how Cassie's doing.
  Sharon: Well, she's doing okay, considering.
  Lily: Is she allowed to have visitors?
  Nick: She'd love to see you.
  Sharon: But not too long, okay? Cassie really needs her rest.
  Lily: Okay. Thanks.
  Sharon: Seeing her friends might cheer Cassie up, don't you think?
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Michael: I applaud all the inroads you've made so far, you know, with Kevin and John. It's just, it's--it's wonderful.
  Gloria: Mm. That's why it's a good time for you to jump in, too.
  Michael: Mm, but right now, I have bigger fish to fry.
  Gloria: What could be more important than helping your mother?
  Michael: Well, actually, there are thousands of things, but--
  Gloria: Listen, Michael, I need my sons now more than ever.
  Michael: Gee, where have I heard that before?
  Gloria: No, listen to me. John keeps letting people move into the house, and they're all against me. Now thanks to Jack, Phyllis and her in-a-heap-of- trouble son Daniel are now living with us. You're not handling his drunk driving case, are you?
  Michael: No, Christine is.
  Gloria: Oh, good. One less thing to worry about at the breakfast table. You know, I still think it's a big mistake for them to be living with us, and the last thing John needs is more stress. And on top of everything, I've still got Gitta to worry about.
  Michael: What in the world is a gi--oh. Oh. The physical therapist. How is your battle plan going against the, uh, what, queen of the fjords?
  Gloria: Hmm. John agreeing to see Kevin is a huge step. And now I would appreciate it if you would take the initiative and see John.
  Michael: What are you fantasizing is going to happen, that Kevin and I are gonna move in, too? The man doesn't even want you there.
  Gloria: Mm.
  Michael: All right. You know what? I'm not gonna make any promises. I will do my best not to alienate your husband, but don't go setting up any meetings with me like you did with Kevin.
  Gloria: I promise... for now.
  Gloria: Michael, it's just wonderful that my sons are looking after me.
  Michael: Mm-hmm.
  Gloria: But Kevin seems to be a little more protective than usual. Have you noticed any change in him?
  Michael: Yeah, a lot of changes.
  Gloria: No, no, no, you know what I mean. Is anything going on with your brother?
  Michael: Uh, he has formed some sort of odd attachment to John, but that probably comes from having saved the man's life.
  Gloria: Maybe. Maybe. But promise me, Michael, you'll make an effort to improve your relationship with John.
  Michael: You know, don't push it. If it happens, it happens.
  Gloria: What? Are you trying to get rid of me?
  Michael: Yes! Yes. I've got stuff to do. I don't mean to be rude, but you have to go now, all right?
  Gloria: All right, all right. Thank you. Um...
  Michael: You're welcome.
  Gloria: Say hi to Lauren.
  Michael: All right. You say hi to John.
  Gloria: I will.
  Michael: Okay.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Kay: Here we go.
  J.T.: Thank you, Mrs. Chancellor. I really appreciate this.
  Kay: Ah, it is wonderful having Mackenzie around. She's wonderful, wonderful company, don't you think?
  J.T.: Yeah, she is. Is she around? I'd like to say hi.
  Kay: Yes, she is. She's out by the pool with a new friend. Why don't you go say hello to her?
  J.T.: All right. Thank you.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Cassie: Hey.
  Lily: Hey. I'm sorry. Were you sleeping?
  Cassie: Just resting. I look really bad, huh?
  Lily: I'm so sorry, Cassie. I should never have left that party without knowing Daniel was okay. And I especially shouldn't have left you there to look after him.
  Cassie: Lily... it wasn't your responsibility. I'm not a little kid. Don't feel bad.
  Lily: Still, I shoulda stayed anyway. Daniel was plastered.
  Cassie: Have you seen him since the accident?
  Lily: Uh, yeah. He's, uh, he's pretty devastated. But all he wants is for you to get better.
  Cassie: Did he really say that?
  Lily: Yeah, he really did.
  Cassie: He's in a lot of trouble, isn't he?
  Lily: He's pretty scared.
  Cassie: I wish I could remember the accident.
  Lily: Yeah, Daniel can't remember either.
  Cassie: If I could, maybe I could help him. What if... like... a car was coming at us and he swerved out of the way or something?
  Lily: Do you think that's what happened?
  Cassie: I don't know. It could've. I'm trying to remember, Lily. I really am.
  Lily: You really want to help Daniel, don't you?
  Cassie: I do. More than anything.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  John: Now look here, Kevin. When I said I owed you something, it's my thanks, nothing more. So whatever you're thinking--
  Kevin: With all due respect, sir, I just want a chance to explain myself. That's all. I don't want anything else. Just please listen to me.
  John: All right, fine. Then you say what you have to say.
  Kevin: Okay, look, I know you're always going to hate me, but I am not the same guy I was a few years ago. Maybe that doesn't mean much to you, but--
  John: You're right, it doesn't.
  Kevin: But I don't think it's fair that you hold that against my mother. She loves you, sir. She does.
  John: Look, your mother was dishonest with me from the very beginning, and that's why I feel the way I do about the situation.
  Kevin: We both know why she did it.
  John:  Sighs  please. Now that's water under the bridge. Look, as for my personal feelings about you, they have not changed, nor should you expect them to.
  Kevin: Okay. I said what I had to say. Thank you for listening to me. It meant a lot.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Dru: Phyllis, we need to work on the rollout for our new line of fragrances. Seasons?
  Phyllis: Yeah, right, right, right, the big hush-hush project that's gonna have the business world kissing your feet.
  Dru: Well... your division is absolutely crucial to our marketing strategies, and I'd like your input, but I, you know...
  Phyllis: But, you know, what?
  Dru: You're never at work, Phyllis. And under the circumstances with your son's situation...
  Phyllis: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What are you saying?
  Dru: I'm thinking I might want to hire someone else. Well, you know what? How about a leave of absence, a little sabbatical? Replace yourself. Let's find somebody else.
  Phyllis: There is no one else. No, no, no, no, no, no. Drucilla, I do not delegate when it comes to projects like this. I can't do that. I need to have my prints all over it.
  Dru: No, I understand that. I'm the same way, but I'm going to strenuously suggest that you replace yourself. I want you to spend some quality time with your son. Look at all the trouble he's in. Your job will be waiting for you when you get back. I'm just gonna hire someone for a little bit of time, you know, for that internet marketing piece.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Cassie: You seem like you're really worried about Daniel.
  Lily: That's 'cause I am. You know, um, I hope that one day you'll be able to forgive him.
  Cassie: I already have. It wasn't all his fault, me getting hurt. I was the one who got in a car with him.
  Lily: Um, anyway, I should-- I should go. Your parents said not to stay too long.
  Cassie: Thanks for coming, Lily.
  Lily: Get better, okay?
  Cassie: I will.
  Lily: Hi. Uh, thanks for letting me visit with Cassie.
  Sharon: I'm sure she enjoyed the company, Lily.
  Nick: You okay?
  Cassie: Mm-hmm. It was nice of Lily to come.
  Sharon: Cassie, what is it?
  Cassie: Um, it's just, uh, my head hurts a little. Dad, could you see if they can give me some medicine?
  Nick: Yeah, I'll take care of it.
  Sharon: Honey, you look a little tired, sweetie. Just keep your eyes closed. Maybe you'll take a nap.
  Cassie: Mm-hmm.
  Nick: Look, why don't you go home? You could check on Noah. Maybe you could get some rest.
  Sharon: Oh, I shouldn't leave.
  Nick: I'll be here. I won't leave her side. I'm just gonna go check with the nurse about her headache.
  Sharon: Okay. Yeah, I should talk to Noah and let him know what's going on.
  Nick: Okay.
  Sharon: Call me.
  Nick: Okay.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Kay:  Hushed voice  J.T., I'm positive Mackenzie would want to know you're here. Go.
  Kay: J.T.? Don't you want to say hello?
  J.T.: I need to get to the bank before it closes.
  Mac: Where's J.T.?
  Kay: He left.
  Mac: Did he see me with Jason?
  Kay: Yes, he did.
  Mac: Did he say anything?
  Kay: He took the check and left.
  Mac: So it didn't bother him at all?
  Kay: Oh, it bothered him a great, great deal.
  Mac: How can you say that if he didn't say anything?
  Kay: Well, had you seen the look on his face, you would not be asking.
  Esther: Where's J.T.?
  Mac: He's gone. I never should've agreed to this. I knew J.T. wouldn't give in playing games.
  Esther: Wow. She's got it bad.
  Kay: Oh, yes, Esther. Yes, she does. But I do not believe for a moment that all is lost. Mnh-mnh.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Michael: You made it.
  Lauren: Yes, I did. But I'm not gonna stay. I just came by 'cause I was concerned about you.  Sighs  what is this?
  Michael: Open it.
  Lauren: If you think a gift is gonna make up for your lack of communication, think again.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Daniel: Probably shouldn't put these in here.
  Lily: Hello? Daniel?
  Daniel: Lily.
  Lily: Hey.
  Daniel: Hey.
  Lily: Um, the door was open so I figured you were here.
  Daniel: You figured right. Come here.
  Lily: Hi.
  Daniel: Hi.
  Lily: Um, I just saw Cassie at the hospital.
  Daniel: How's she doing?
  Lily: Uh, she, um, she looked better than I expected.
  Daniel: They don't know anything for sure though, yet, do they?
  Lily: Well, you know, I-I didn't ask. But, um, but we can hope.
  Daniel: You know what? Hope's just not gonna cut it.
  Lily: Daniel...
  Daniel: No. You know what? I've done such a perfect job of messing everyone's lives up-- I mean, Cassie and her parents and my mom. You know, we got kicked out of our house because of me. And next, she could lose her job. I'm just a total screw-up.
  Lily: No, you are not, okay? I believe in you.
  Daniel: Well, that makes two people-- you and my mom.
  Lily: And your lawyer.
  Daniel: Christine's three. As for the rest of the world, though, they just think I'm some heinous creep. They wanna lock me up and throw the key away.
  Lily: Daniel, you don't know that you're going to jail.
  Daniel: I wish. Everything's just gotten way too out of control. I just started to really think that, uh, everyone would be better off if I wasn't here.
  Lily: Are you kidding? That's crazy.
  Daniel: No, it's not. Look, I've made a decision. I gotta get outta here. I gotta leave Genoa City.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Phyllis: Drucilla, listen, the only thing that I have to hang onto right now is my work, okay? You know, truthfully, how long is this Newman job gonna last for me? You know that. So while it does, I just need you to cut me some slack at the office.
  Dru: Phyllis, this is the biggest gig I've had since I started at Newman Enterprises, and I don't want to take a risk.
  Phyllis: I know, I know. I understand that, but listen, I'm gonna give you 110%, I promise you. You understand this. You're a mother. I need to clean up this mess with my son, okay? And when I do, I'm all yours.
  Dru: Look, I really appreciate your commitment to your work, but there's just absolu-- okay, you know what? I'm gonna give you a little bit of time, but I need you back soon.
  Phyllis: All right. I'll be there, I swear to you. You have my word.
  Dru: It's hard when your kid's in trouble. I get that. Sorry. See you later.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Lauren: I came here to talk, Michael. Do you realize that the last time we saw each other was when you were on your way to see Tom, who you hadn't seen in years? And I was so worried that you were gonna see that man alone and all the emotional feelings from the past that it was gonna bring up for you.
  Michael: Well, it all worked out.
  Lauren: That's not the point. Didn't you realize how worried I was about you? And yet you haven't called me for days. I can only assume that I'm just... I'm not that important to you.
  Michael: You know that's not true. Now look, Lauren, just, please, just open the box.
  Lauren: How could you leave me hanging for days, just wondering? I mean, it really hurts me.
  Michael: I know. I should have gotten back to you, but, please, now, open the box.
  Lauren: Okay.
  Michael:  Chuckles 
  Lauren: Oh, my God. It's beautiful, oh! Oh, is it Forrester?
  Michael: Yes, yes, it's an original. Eric Forrester himself designed that for you.
  Lauren: Are you serious?
  Michael: I talked to him personally. You're very special to him and to me also, by the way.
  Lauren: Michael, you shouldn't have.
  Michael: No, I should have. You deserve for me to splurge on you like this.
  Lauren: Yeah, but the cost, come on.
  Michael: Who better to spend my lottery winnings on? Look, uh, would you mind terribly wearing this tonight and allowing me to escort you?
  Lauren: If you think this makes up for everything... where are we going?
