October 20, 2003:
Family dinner at the Chandler mansion, conclusion.


Ryan: [To JR] So, what do you say, man? You like the idea? Personally, I love it. Adam Chandler Jr., President of Chandler Enterprises. Liza Colby, CEO. Adam Chandler Sr., Parking Attendant.

Adam: All right, Lavery, stop blowing smoke. Get out.

Ryan: And when the smoke clears, Adam Chandler Enterprises will be mine, and then, of course, [to JR] yours.

Tad: [To Brooke] Careful. Soon, Jamie’s going to want to take over "Tempo."

Brooke: Doubtful. He's too hell-bent on taking after you.

Adam: [To JR] Do you really believe that this parasite owns my company?

JR: Well, if Ryan says he owns it --

Adam: Damn it, JR, how gullible can you be? First miss pretty face reels you in, and now you're falling for this ridiculous charade.

Ryan: [To JR] Are you going to take that from one of your underlings?

Adam: This has gone far enough.

Liza: What's the problem, Adam? This was your greatest worry. You were whining when JR was gone -- "Oh, there's not going to be anybody to take over the business." Well, he's back. And he's taking over the business. What's the problem?

Brooke: Be careful what you wish for.

JR: Well, this calls for a toast. I'm going to get Winifred to go ahead and bring another bottle in.

Adam: Hey, not so fast. Lavery, you're forgetting the biggest catch of all.

Ryan: Hmm.

Adam: It's not yours to give away.

Ryan: Oh. Right. Well, once the police figure out that Michael died well before his father, then it's a no-brainer.

Adam: Well, if by some sick twist of fate, the police actually do determine that Michael was killed before Alexander, then I will tie the financials of this corporation into so many knots, you're going to wish you were back on the yacht selling dreams to the wannabes and the hopeless.

Ryan: Wow, Adam, you would go to that extent to make sure your own son doesn't take over your business? Wow.

Adam: My son can have any damn business he chooses. I'll see to that. But what he doesn't need is some two-bit raider wannabe selling him something that he can't sell him because it doesn't belong to him.

JR: Why don't you let JR decide what JR needs.

Opal: Man, this is--

JR: Ryan?

Ryan: Yeah?

JR: I accept your generous offer.

Ryan: That's what I like to hear.

Opal: Well--

Adam: Damn you, Lavery, get out of here. You screwed my wife, and I'll be damned if you're going to screw my son! [He lunges at Ryan, but Tad holds him back.]

Tad: Come on! Come on!

Adam: Get out of here!

Ryan: I'm right here!

Adam: Get him out of here!

Tad: No, no, no, that's not a good idea.

Adam: No! That Neanderthal is --

Tad: Adam, not a good idea! Wait -- remember your Pigeon Hollow injury, right? Come on. Now, you're coming with me, or we're going to get Liza involved. [To Liza] You want to help me out here?

Liza: [To Adam] Listen, you swore that you would take my advice, and my advice is to get out.

Tad: Come on. Come on, Adam. Come on. Let's take a walk. Let's go.

Adam: All right, all right. I want that miscreant out of here by the time I get back, or I'm having him dragged out!

[Tad and Adam leave the parlor.]



[Most of the guests have left. Liza is in the parlor with Babe and JR. Tad walks in.]

Tad: Well, let me hear it for me. I have managed temporarily to soothe the savage beast.

[Liza smiles and claps.]

JR: I appreciate it.

Liza: Well, JR, would you make sure that Colby eats a healthy breakfast? Don't let her talk Adam into doughnuts and ice cream.

JR: Okay.

Tad: That's not a healthy breakfast?

Babe: I'm with you on that.

Liza: [Smiles] Welcome home. Congratulations.

JR: Thank you.

[Liza leaves.]

Brooke: So, has anybody seen Jamie?

JR: Last I saw, he was headed for the pool house.

Tad: That's probably where he had a little rendezvous last night and he's gone back for more. [To JR] Hey, thanks for everything. See you later.

JR: All right.

Tad: [He kisses Babe on the cheek.] You hang tough.

Brooke: Listen, both of you, congratulations and best of luck. [Tad pulls her away by the arm.] Bye.
