 Transcripts Snappies Fan Creations M & M Press LinksMay 3, 2004: Tad and Liza have a short conversation. Liza: Tad. Tad: [He stands up]. Hi. How are you? Liza: Got a minute? Opal: No, not really. Tad and me are, um, having a little mother/son-- [a cell phone rings] thing. Tad: Call it a hunch, but I'm guessing that's yours. Opal: Let's see. Oh, it's Daphne on her cell. Daphne? Tad: [To Liza] Petey's tap-dancing prison warden. Opal: Yeah -- Petey what? Oh, well, I guess it's good you had your cell in your pocket, huh? Yes, well, of course. Yes, I'll -- I'll be right there. No, don't -- don't be worried, there's plenty of air in there. Just -- just take tiny breaths. Yeah, all right. See you. Tad: Code Blue at Chez "Singin' in the Rain"? Opal: Oh, and Petey is so high-spirited. Tad: That's one way of putting it. Opal: Yeah. Well, uh [she hugs him, whispering in his ear] be careful. I'm calling you tomorrow morning early, like as a wake-up call? [She leaves.] Liza: Well, now that you've been abandoned -- Tad: Join me. [Liza smiles. They sit down.] Liza: Oh, I'll just take a minute. I wanted to share some good news with you. Tad: By all means, hit me. Liza: Well, Ryan has asked me and J.R. to stay on at Chandler Enterprises. Tad: [He smiles.] Liza, that's hardly news. Liza: I need you -- on -- on the team. We make a great team together. What can I do? What can I say or do to sweeten the pot to get you onboard? [Tad looks at her, unconvinced. Ryan comes up to them and sits down.] Ryan: Just the people to help me celebrate. I'm buying. Tad: What's the occasion? Ryan: I might be getting married. [Ryan has left the table.] Tad: Come on, let's talk about something interesting -- like the fact that the Ryanator might kind of sort of be getting married. Don't you want to discuss that? Liza: Not until you accept my offer. Tad: I can't. I'm sorry, I just can't. I told you, no more neckties or corporate nonsense for me. I'm going to rebuild my detective agency. Thanks, but no thanks. [He gets up from the table and leaves.] |
