ATWT Transcripts TV's Megasite Giving up on a dream - 04.01.03 Rose: Bye-bye, baby. (Paul enters Java.) Rose: Where'd you come from? Paul: So - you're still speaking to me? Rose: Of course I'm speaking to you. I love you. Paul: I love you, too. Sorry I stormed off like that. Rose: You were mad. I don't blame you. I should have come to you and talked to you about this, not taken Dusty's money. Paul: No, no, Rose, this is my fault. You have every right to pursue your dreams. Rose: You're my dream. That's why I've got to focus on you. I mean, we're getting married, you know? I've got a lot to do. I've got to pick a florist, a caterer, a theme. The rest - doesn't matter. Paul: That's all fine, but I'm still not letting you give up on the shop. Rose: It's all right. It's too late. Paul: Too much time. Too much - Rose: It's too late, 'cause I already told Dusty. The deal's off. Paul: Listen, I'm glad you decided to back out of the deal with Dusty, but that doesn't mean you have to give up the shop. You know, the lease is secure. With the new financial plan, you can get new backers. If not here, Chicago. Rose: You're not listening. Paul: What? Rose: It's not important. You and me, that's where I've got to put my energy. Paul: Rose, I don't want you to give up your career. Rose: I'm not. Just putting it on hold for a little bit. Paul: Why? Why? I didn't ask you to do that. All I did was question you borrowing money from Dusty. I don't expect you to - Rose: What, put you first? 'Cause that's what I'm gonna do. You're my top priority. Paul: Where's all this coming from? Rose: I had a long talk with Lily, you know? She reminded me of a couple of things. Like how our wedding has been put on hold over and over again, and how I'd never forgive myself if I didn't do it right. We've been cheated out of romance over and over again, and I just want this wedding to be beautiful and special, because - it is. Paul: I know. I can't wait. But I'm still not letting you give up the shop, all right? Rose: Paul - Paul: Listen, I've got to go. We'll talk about it later. Rose: Where are you going? Paul: Oh, my mother asked to meet me for a couple drinks. Rose: Oh, no. Paul: Think positive. Maybe she's gonna tell me she's moving to Wyoming. Protecting your dream - 04.02.03 Paul: You got me. Rose: How long you been standing there? Paul: Long enough to see this place through your eyes. Looks like a winner to me. Rose: You think? Paul: Yeah. So how you gonna make it happen? Rose: Well, I've decided to bring on Mrs. Walsh, as a partner. Paul: Really? What about the gospel according to Rose? "Never mix business and family." Rose: I was just being stubborn. Paul: Maybe you were being smart. This is your dream. Protect it. Rose: I'm trying to do that. But if I don't take on Ms. Walsh, I don't open. Paul: Will you marry me, Rose D'Angelo? Rose: Where is that coming from? Paul: Marrying you has been my dream, but I've been walking all over yours. So I was thinking - just a walk down the aisle with a jerk like me, then - I won't have any further objections about you partnering with Dusty. Rose: Do you mean that? Paul: Absolutely. Rose: Oh. Yes. Oh, yes, yes. Yes, I will marry you. But you already knew that. --- Rose: (on a cell phone) You're in big trouble, mister. Dusty: Uh - I don't know what you're talking about. Rose: You said you wouldn't tell my gorgeous husband-to-be that you found me crying. Supposed to be our little secret. Dusty: You know what? I've got so many. I guess I spaced on that one. Rose: So? You still wanna be my partner? Dusty: Yes! I mean, no, I haven't changed my mind. Rose: Can you repeat that? Dusty: I said, yes, I would love to be your partner. Nothing would make me happier than to help you make your dreams come true. Rose: He said yes! Oh, he said yes! I love you, Paulie. Kidnapping of Barbar - 04.10.03 (Cell phone rings.) Rose: It's probably Craig, about the designs. Hi, you got 'em? Paul: Hey, Rose, it's me. Do I have what? Rose: My shoes. I dropped 'em off at the shoe guy to have 'em dyed, and he said he was gonna call me. Paul: This time of night? Rose: Well, he's a very busy shoemaker. Hello, sweetheart, how are you? Paul: Not too good. Not too good at all. I'm at Rosanna's, waiting for my mother, who hasn't arrived yet. Rose: Well, you know your ma. She does it her way. Paul: Yeah, I know that, but she was excited about this. You know what? I'm gonna stop by her apartment to make sure everything's okay. Rose: No, that's gonna be a mistake! Paul: Why? Rose: Because then you're gonna leave, and then she's gonna show up, and then you're not gonna be there for the meeting. Paul: Well, yeah, but if something's happened to her - Rose: You know what you always tell me? Don't jump to conclusions. Paul: All right. All right, I'll hang out here for a little longer. Rose: That's the spirit. I love you. Paul: I love you. Rose: You hear that? I'm lying to the man I'm gonna marry. --- Paul: Mom, you in there? Rose: Hi. Oh, it's so good to see you. Paul: Yeah, what are you doing here? Rose: I was looking for your mom. But she's not here, so - Paul: All right, well, did she leave a note? Rose: I was searchin' up and down for everything, found nothing, but you know, little bit of mom goes a long way, so I've had enough for the day. Let's go. Come on. Paul: Dammit. All right, all right, all right. All right, before we go, I just want to run something by you real quick. I have a bad feeling that Craig Montgomery is behind all this, and he's the reason why my mother missed that meeting. Rose: Craig? Paul: Yeah. Rose: Why would he do that? Paul: Because he doesn't want her anywhere near Monte Carlo. So obviously, if she misses a crucial meeting, it makes her look bad and hurts her chances of getting a foothold there. Rose: Did you tell anything - this to Rosanna? Paul: Yeah. Yeah, and naturally, she disagreed. But I'm telling you, this has Craig Montgomery's fingerprints all over it. Rose: Craig is a sleazeball, believe me, but I don't think he's a kidnapper. Paul: All right, then where's my mother? Rose: I don't know. But we'll find her. We'll find her. Listen, hey, you know what? You go down to the lounge, and I'm gonna call the front desk, see if she's checked in for messages. Paul: Okay, all right. Rose: Don't you think that's a good idea? Paul: All right, that sounds like a plan. Bye. See you down there. Rose: I'll see you down there. --- Lisa: Hello, there. Rose: Hello. Lisa: How's my favorite engaged couple? Are you enjoying every single minute? Rose: Oh, more than you can imagine. Absolutely. Lisa: Well, you just better. It's the best time of your life. Rose: You can say that again. Lisa: Yes. Rose: So why don't we sit over - hello, preppie, I'm right over here. Paul: There's Hal and Emily. I think we should go talk to them. Rose: Wait, wait, wait, just - sorry. Lisa: Sure. Paul: That meeting was very important to her, and she never showed up. Rose: I keep tellin' Paul not to worry, but he's always about the worst-case scenario. Hal: Actually, this time, I think he might have a point. Emily: You do? Hal: Barbara was supposed to deliver some allergy medication to Will. She never showed up. Emily: Oh, well - maybe she got called out of town or something. Maybe a family member - Paul: She would've called. This is very unlike her, Hal. Hal: True, true, but we all know how unpredictable she can be, so - why don't we give it till tomorrow, see if she shows up, then I’ll open a police investigation, and it will become a police matter. Rose sucks at lying - 04.11.03  Paul: To Rosie's roller palace, and to happy women everywhere. Rose: And men - if they behave themselves. Where are you going? Paul: I gotta go up to my mom's suite. I have a meeting with Hal. Rose: Keystone cops? Really think that's necessary? Paul: She was on top of the world, Rose. She was so excited about those designs. There's no way she would disappear on her own. Rose: I'm telling you, she's fine. Paul: Yeah, like you were fine? And Carly and Emily? Like they were fine? Rose: You think Stenbeck shipped her off to some spa? Paul: Well, I think somebody shipped her off somewhere, and I'm gonna find out who. Rose: I'm just tellin' you, don't make yourself nuts. She probably havin' a comfy time out somewhere. She's all right. Emily: Hi, guys. Paul: Hi, Emily. Emily: Paul, how're you doing, honey? Paul: I'm doing fine, except I have a missing mother. But other than that, just great. Emily: Oh. Well, Hal's upstairs. Paul: All right, I'll see you later. Paul: Rose, why didn't you tell me that you ran into Dusty last night? And why didn't you tell me that he was investing money for my mother? Rose: Is there a problem? Hal: Oh, we're just trying to establish a time frame, who saw Barbara when and where, so we can figure out what happened to her. Dusty: Barbara left me the check at the front desk. We had touched base the day before, but not on the phone, which is why I actually didn't see her. Now, if I can do anything for you, let me know. Hal: Yeah, if you see her or you hear from her, you get in touch with me at the station. Dusty: Of course. Paul: Thanks, Dusty. You coming? Rose: I gotta get Mr. Deep pockets to give me my check. Where can I find you? Paul: Call me. Rose: All right. Paul: I was about to ask you the same thing. Rose: Emily called me. Emily: I called her to meet me here, because she's the only one who speaks Italian. Isn't that the funniest thing? So I called Rose, and, well, the guy who owns the inn is - his English is - can I have your credit card? And let's - we can get the ball rolling. Craig: Right. Emily: This is going to cost you. Craig: Whatever you need, Emily. Emily: Thank you. Come on, let's go call Italy, Rose. Rose: Oh, yeah. Emily: Let's go. Rose: Wait - Hal: I might have a couple more questions for you, Montgomery. Craig: Not a problem. Paul: Nice to see you, Rosanna. Rosanna: Paul. Celebrating - 04.15.03 Paul: Rose, I - Rose: Not just tile, I'm talking about grout. Did you know grout - look at all the colors it comes in - antique white, Navajo tan. Paul: All right, Rose - Rose, if we could not talk about grout for a second, please. Rose: I thought we were here to celebrate my renovations. Paul: We were, but something came up. It turns out the letter my mother wrote to Rosanna from Milan - it turns out it was a fake. Rose: No kidding? How do you know that? Paul: Hal checked with the state department. And she hasn't used her passport. And I'm thinking about calling the FBI, get them involved. Rose: You don't even know that your ma is missing 100%. Getting the feds involved - I mean, that's extreme. Paul: Yes. And, Rose, I cannot tell you enough how excited my mother was about those designs she had for Rosanna. There is no way she would have missed that meeting. Rose: Maybe those designs were so good, she went right to New York, to the big boys on Seventh Avenue. Paul: No. Hal and I thought about that. And I called every contact I know in New York, all of B.R.O.'s old contacts, and nothing, no one has heard from her. Rose: I'm telling you, your ma is at some four-star hotel getting a massage right now. She gets everybody in an uproar, comes back and soaks up all the attention. Don't let her fool you, all right? Paul: Rose, I know you don't like my mother, but could you at least pretend like you care about what might have happened to her? For me? Rose: If I thought your ma was in real danger, I'd be out looking for her myself. My instincts tell me that - Paul: Your instincts? What about mine? I've got red flags flying up all over the place. Does that not mean anything? Rose: Don't you think your mom would do something like this for attention? She's done some pretty crazy things in the past, you know? I oughta know that. Paul: Yes, she has. But when she did those things, she was a different person. I'm not trying to make excuses for her, but she was suffering from post-traumatic stress. She's done a lot of healing since then. Rose: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. You know what? I don't want to argue with you. Paul: Okay. Why would she leave? Why would she leave? She was so excited about those designs. I haven't seen her like that in years. Rose: Did you actually see those designs? Hmm? Paul: I don't think she lied. And I don't think she ducked out of that meeting with Rosanna. But I do think she's in some kind of trouble. Rose: Well, if she is, maybe she'll learn something. Paul: You know, I'm going to try and forget you just said that. Rose: I don't want to fight, please. This is - we're supposed to be celebrating here. Come on. Paul: All right. Yeah, yeah. Congratulations on getting a contractor. Yutz's wedding - 04.17.03/04.18.03   Rose: All ready for a wedding. Dusty: Why don't you guys come and double date with me and Molly? Rose: That's a great idea. Paul: No, that'd be nice, but I gotta get there a little early. Rose: Why do you gotta get there early? Paul: I have a little investigating to do. Dusty: Investigating, huh? Paul: Yeah. There are tunnels under Fairwinds that my father used to use, and Craig knows about them. If he's got my mother, he's hiding her there. Rose: Huh. Emily: Rose, hi. Paul: Hey, Emily. Any news about mom? Rose: You wanna look at those presents over there, Em? Emily: I'd love to, Rose. --- Paul: I checked the tunnels under the house, and they are all sealed. Rose: Well, that's good, right? Because now you can relax, enjoy the wedding, maybe get a couple of pointers for us. Paul: Okay, all right. As soon as the ceremony starts, I'm going to slip inside the house and take a look around. Okay? Montgomery wanted my mother out of the way, and now she is gone. And once I find her, I'll make him and whoever who helped him regret this till the day they die. --- Paul: That's my cue. Wish me luck. Paul: Hey. Rose: What are you doing? You're going through Craig's belongings? Paul: Montgomery's phone. Rose: What's that gonna tell you? Paul: Maybe he's been in contact with the people who are keeping my mother hidden. Hal. Montgomery's phone. Hal: Turn it off and put it down, Paul. Leave it to the cops. Paul: Hal, are you serious? Are you serious? Playing by the rules, all that's gonna do is cost us valuable time and maybe my mother's life. How long are we gonna wait? Until she's gone months? Months, like Rose was? Hal: I'm taking this back to Craig. Keep investigating and I'm gonna run you in. Paul: Hal - Hal: Do you get me? Rose: You know, maybe Hal's right. Paul: You know what? I'm getting the feeling that you don't want my mother found. Rose: Of course I do. But I don't want you to be arrested, either. Paul: You know, I know my mother is far from perfect, and you and I both have every reason to distrust her, but she is my mother. Rose: And I - as much as I love you, I am never gonna forgive that woman for what she did to me. Or Carly. Or Emily. What was she doing when I was being used like a guinea pig with that mad scientist? Going around town, trying to get everybody to feel sorry for her. Did her life stop? Did she shed a tear for me? Was she worried about you? What it was gonna do to you? No. So you know what? I can't worry about her. And my gut's tellin' me that she's gonna be back. I know it. I know she's gonna come home. All right? Paul: I wish I could be as sure of that as you are. By your side, no matter what - 04.21.03  Rose: Hi. Paul: Hey. Rose: Mm. You know what I love most about you? Other than the obvious. Paul: What is that? Rose: At the end of a crazy day - and this one was - whoo! That was a whopper! I can come to you, take a deep breath, relax, and I’m happy again. Paul: Well, I’m glad you feel that way. Rose: So how was your ma? Was she calmed down when you brought her home? Paul: No, I’m afraid not. Once she got back to her suite, she looked for those designs she did for Monte Carlo. Rose: Mm-hmm. Paul: Turns out someone stole them while she was locked away in that cabin. Rose: That's gotta hurt. Paul: Yeah, it does. You heard my mother at the wedding. She believes Craig engineered the kidnapping, but she believes that other people assisted him. Two women. Rose, I hate asking you this, but could one of those women have been you? Rose: Okay. You got me. Is there a cop around the corner, or are you making a citizen's arrest? Paul: Rose, please! Now, all I’m asking for is an honest answer. Rose: Here's as honest as I get. Someone snatched your ma for a couple of days. She doesn't know who it was, and neither does anybody else. But she will use that to turn you against me, and we cannot let that happen. Paul: Don't you think I’ve thought of that? But my mother is not capable of boarding herself into a cabin. And she didn't beam herself home to steal her own designs. Rose: But she could have it arranged. She'd do anything to break us up. Paul: Those sketches were her ticket to a comeback, and she is desperate without them. And that's for real. Rose: You want me to feel sorry for what she lost? I'm sorry - I can't do that. After what she did to me, whatever she gets, she deserves. Paul: Understand this - I am not trying to manipulate you into feeling sorry for her. But you need to understand - Rose: Oh, then why are we having this conversation? Unless - well, if I didn't know better, it sounds like you're trying to build a case against me, Paul. Paul: No, I’m not. I am not. Listen - there's something I want you to know, okay? Even if you were involved in her kidnapping, I forgive you. Okay? I would not allow this to break us up. Rose: Mama Barbara would be very disappointed in you. Paul: Damn it, Rose. I am not here as my mother's errand boy. I'm asking you these questions because I need you to be honest with me. About this, about everything. Today, and always. It's what I give to you, and it's what I expect in return. Paul: The police are involved. There's gonna be an investigation. Rose: So what? What's that got to do with me? Paul: Because, if you were involved in this, I would protect you. I would make sure that nothing happens to you and that you won't get hurt. But I can't do that unless I know what really happened. Rose - trust me. All right? Trust me that I will be by your side no matter what. Rose: All right. You want the truth? Here - Dusty: This is why I came back to Oakdale. I got - friends wherever I go Paul: Hey, Dusty. What's going on, man? Dusty: Huh, let's have us a drink. I'm good now. Let's have us - Paul: Dusty, I appreciate it, but thanks. We're kind of in the middle of something. Dusty: Oh, come on. You're not fighting, are you? Paul: No, it's - sensitive subject. Rose: Paul thinks I kidnapped his mother. Paul: Hey, no, I didn't say that. Rose: Look, I can read you like a book. That's what you meant. Dusty: Is she serious? Paul: I am trying to figure out who grabbed my mother and why. And I'm not getting a whole lot in terms of answers. Dusty: Well, it's a good thing I came along. 'Cause Rose didn't kidnap your mother. Paul: How do you know? Dusty: The day Barbara went missing, Rose was with me. Paul: Rose was with you while my mother was being kidnapped? Dusty: Yeah. We were at the shop making plans for the renovations. We were there almost all day. Paul: And you never thought about telling me that? Rose: I - I didn't think I’d have to give my fiancé an excuse. Paul: So you guys were together all day? Dusty: Yes, I have renovation notes in my calendar. I can show them to you, if you want. Paul: I'm sorry. Rose: Oh, forget it! Paul: No, I’m sorry. No, I can't forget it. I shouldn't have come on that strong. Rose: No, you know, you had questions. You needed some answers. Paul: No, but I’m sorry, okay? I will make this up to you, I promise. Rose: Make it up? Oh. Makin' up, movin' on - that's what this is all about. Putting this behind us. Paul: Yes, I agree. But first I need to tell my mother that she was wrong. And when she finds out you were with Dusty the whole day, what can she say to that? Right? Dusty: I think, before we do anything, we should have a stiff drink. Bartender. Paul: All right. Keep it on ice. I'll be right back, all right? Paul: Sorry it took so long. Rose: What? Paul: Hey. I told my mother you had nothing to do with her kidnapping and made it very clear to her I would never discuss it with her again. Rose: Oh. Paul: Okay? Rose: Okay. I'm sure she was a real sport about that. Paul: Well, it doesn't matter. She's has to accept it. Dusty: Sounds like a dead issue. I gotta go. Paul: Hey, hey, hey, hey. What about the drinks? (Dusty laughs.) Dusty: Put it on my tab, you cheapskate. I gotta run. Paul: All right. Right there. Rose: What? Paul: Take a swing. Rose: What? Paul: I doubted you. I deserve it. Rose: No, you know what we're gonna do? Paul: What? Rose: We're gonna go up to your room. We're gonna fill the tub with bubbles. Paul: Mm-hmm. Rose: Okay. You just wear me out - 04.25.03 Paul: This is not a contest, Mom. It is different. It's supposed to be different. Rose: Hey. I hope I’m interrupting something. Barbara: Could we finish our conversation, please? Rose: Yeah. Go. Shoot. Barbara: How dare you come between me and my son when we were having a conversation after everything that you have put me through? Rose: Blow another tune, Barbara. Paul: All right. We were finished. Barbara: I need to know this - that if what I am saying is the truth, I need to know that you will stand by me. I'm your mother. I raised you. I love you more than anything. Paul: It is not gonna play out the way you think. But if it does, okay, sure, I'll stand by you. All right? Barbara: Thank you. Paul: Okay. All right. Rose: Well, she certainly pulled out all the stops. What'd I miss? Paul: Nothing. Rose: Oh, no, no nothing. What's goin' on? What's go you all shook up? Paul: She tried to convince me that she has an eyewitness that will prove that you were involved in the kidnapping. I told her it was impossible, but - Rose: If it was possible, then you would stand by her. Paul: But it didn't happen, so it doesn't matter. Rose: It matters to me. Paul: Listen, I was just trying to get her off my back. Rose: I don't know what you were trying to do, but what you did do was sell me out. And I don't like it. Paul: Rose, the woman wears me down. You know how she gets. She gets on something, and she won't let it go. So, yeah, sometimes I take the easy way out, and I just tell her what she wants to hear. That's it! Rose: Is that what do you with me? Paul: No, never, because you don't ever wear me down. You just wear me out. Rose: Don't get all cute and sexy with me when I got a head full of steam. Paul: All right, listen to me. I waited for six months for you to come home to me. I waited another few months for us to get our feet back on the ground. And then, when we finally decide we want to get married again, it was you, wasn't it, yeah? It was you who told me that I needed to rekindle some sort of relationship with my mother, wasn't it? Rose: You're never gonna let me live that down, are you? Paul: Nope. Rose: All right. Then I need a promise from you. Now, it's gonna sound a lot like the promise your mom wanted, but it's a little different. 'Cause I am not her. I am the woman that's going to be your wife. So I have to know, if it came down to a fight between her and me, you would pick me, matter what. Paul: Of course. No matter what. (Rose’s cell phone rings.) Rose: Sorry. Hello? Emily: Rose, it's me. Bad news. Rose: What a coincidence. Paul and I are just having a little bite to eat here at the Lakeview. Emily: We're totally busted. Hal knows everything. Jack has the receipt from the watch. And apparently I was I.D.’d by some clerk at that jewelry store. Rose: Well, I’m sure you'll find another dress just like it. Emily: Hal's trying to find a way to help, but I don't know how. But I thought you should tell Paul yourself before he finds out from somebody else. Rose: You're right. Thanks for the heads-up. Paul: Everything okay? Rose: No. Everything's not okay. I gotta tell you something. Paul: Okay. Rose: And I’m just gonna say it and let the chips fall where they may. Rose: Telling you this is - it's very hard. I've been wanting to tell you for a really long - (Rose’s cell phone rings.) Paul: Okay, can you turn that damn thing off? Rose: As soon as I get this last - hello? Emily: Rose, it's Emily. Did you tell Paul? Rose: I was about to, but I keep getting interrupted. Emily: Don’t. We may be in the clear. But I won't know until the morning. Rose: Sure, I’ll talk to Faith. Hey, honey. Yeah, Aunt Rose loves you very much. Emily: All right, I’ll let you know in the morning, when I have all the facts. Just sit tight. Rose: Yeah, yeah, Uncle Paul's here, too. I will. Love you. Bye. Paul: Now, where were we? Rose: I was just gonna say that - I can understand why someone would wanna take your ma and put her in that cabin. And take her designs. And there's a part of me that wishes she could've stayed there. Sorry. But no matter how I feel about your mom, I love you. And I love you so much; I would deal with her for the next 50 years, if I have to. Paul: Hey. Hey, hey. Where are you going? Rose: Oh, I can't. No, no, no, no, no. Lily says that Faith won't eat her peas unless I do this little - little dance. I'll call you later. I love you - 04.28.03 Paul: You're going up to his room? Rose: Yeah, you want to come? Paul: No. Shop business is between you two. Rose: Yeah, but I might want to take that coffee break. Everything all right between us? Paul: Sure. Rose: Yeah? Even that little problem about you thinkin' I might have helped kidnap your ma? Paul: I love you. Rose: Well, take a memo, because I love you, too. See you in a little bit. The Truth Comes Out- 04.29.03 Rose: Yeah. Yeah. Paul? Paul: I need to see you right now. Rose: Where are you? Paul: At the Lakeview. Rose: Great. You want to meet in the lounge? Paul: No, not here. There's too much interference. Somewhere we can be alone. Rose: I'm all over being alone. Paul: Meet me at Java Underground. It opens in a few minutes. Nobody'll be there yet. Rose: Great. I'll meet you there then. Now, Paul, is everything all right? (Dial tone.) Rose: Your wish is my command. Paul: Really? Rose: Yeah, yeah. I'm gonna be your private genie. I'll go back to your place; you want to rub my lamp? Paul: Okay, here's my wish. You ready? Rose: Mm-hmm. Paul: I want to know why you and Dusty lied to me about where you were the day my mother was kidnapped. Paul: Were you or were you not involved in my mother's kidnapping? Don't you think I deserve to know if I’ve been the biggest fool in town? Rose: Don't think like that. You're not a fool. Paul: Well, how do you expect me to feel? I stood by you through all your denials, even when they didn't make sense. I begged you to come clean. I even told you - I promised you, promised you that it wouldn't break us up. Rose: Then you promised to stand by Barbara if I was involved. So forgive me if I can't keep straight all your promises. Paul: Hey, hey, hey, I'm not on trial here. I didn't break the law. And if you did, I want to know about it right now. Rose: Yes. Yes, I did it. I got your ma out of people's hair for a couple days. And I'm glad that I did it. Paul: I wanted to be wrong. I want - you have no - Rose: I hate to see - I hate to see that look on your face. Can't we just - there's got to be a way we can get past this. Paul: How? How? You've put me in the middle of an impossible situation. Rose: No, no, no, no, not impossible, 'cause there's no evidence that I was involved. Paul: My mother has an eyewitness. Rose: No, see, I know, but that eyewitness is not gonna pan out. So unless you tell the cops, it can be all over. Paul: Over? That's all there is, as far as you're concerned? Just the "over"? No explanations? No concern for what you did to my mother? Rose: I'm sorry that I had to lie to you, but I am not sorry for what I did to your mother. After what she did to me all those months. Do you want a list? I was out of commission for months. I nearly died, so forgive me. Forgive me. I don't feel bad for Barbara 'cause she couldn't play with her colored pencils for a couple of days. Paul: Rose, I know what my mother did to you was unforgivable. Rose: She's screams and there you are. You're standing right next to her. Paul: Hey, hey, hey, that is not - that is not fair. Rose: I tried to be fair. I did everything that I could, and you know why? Because that woman that you call mother, she's the only one that you've got, and I didn't want you to be stuck between choosing between her or me. Paul: Well, guess what? That is exactly the position you have put me in. What the hell am I supposed to do now, huh? Rose: I guess you gotta make that choice. Paul: I resent being pulled in the middle of a messed-up, illegal situation. Rose: And I resent that it's so difficult for you to make an obvious choice. Paul: It is a false choice, Rose. I shouldn't have to take sides between my sick mother and the woman I love. Rose: Sick mother? Sick? Now you know why it's so hard for me to come to you when I need help. Paul: Dusty - you've been taking everything to Dusty. Was he in on this, too? Rose: No. Paul: Tell me. Rose: No, his hands are clean. But when you decided to rake me over the coals, he chose my side. Very telling, isn't it? Paul: Yeah, it tells me that you are bent on making this about me and how I failed you. But you did this, Rose. Nobody but you. Rose: That's right. And I'm not gonna make excuses. I'm not gonna beg you to forgive me. Wanna turn me in? You go ahead. You call the cops. I'll be waitin' for 'em at home. |
