Franco:  Let's go, Samantha!
Sami:  I'm coming.  Could you give me a hand with my luggage?
F:  Yeah, I'm on my way.
S:  Let me call Eric & Nicole to make sure everything's ok.
(she calls & everything's fine)
S:  Ok, I'm ready.  Let's go to the airport.

Bo & Billie's
Billie:  Katiana, Brad, Scott!  Come downstairs for a minute please.
Bo:  What's wrong?
Bi:  I'll tell you once everyone comes down here.
Bo:  You're not.......pregnant again, are you?
Bi:  No, I'm not.  (Bo breathes a sigh of relief)  Can you go up & get them please?
Bo:  Sure.
(Katie, Brad, & Scott come downstairs.)
Bi:  I have something important to tell all of you.

Josie & Mel's
Josie:  Mel, I'm surprised that you agreed to watch all the kids for the night.  It's not like you.
Mel:  Well, I know I'm not getting any younger, so I figured that I should spend as much time with them now as possible.
J:  Don't talk like that!
M:  Sorry, dear.  Let me make sure the kids are sleeping ok.
J:  I'll come with you.
(They walk upstairs & check on Andrew, Louis, Melanie, Carissa, & Zach.)
M:  Remember when Karin, Minnie, Chuck, & Rob were little?
J:  Are you ok?  You haven't mentioned Chuck's name since we moved to Salem.  It's been, like, 8 years.  But, as for your question, ok course I remember when they were little.  They were some of the best years of our life.
M:  It seems like only yesterday I was tying Karin's shoes, or pushing Chuck & Rob on the swings, or buying dolls for Minnie at the toy store.
J:  I know.  (fake flashbacks are shown of Mel & Josie doing the above things with their children.)

Minnie & Greg's
Greg:  Min, your really tense, what's wrong?
Minnie:  I don't know.  I just get like this sometimes.
G:  I know, but I hate seeing you like this.
M  (to herself):  My past is haunting me again.  I wonder what ever happened to my child that I gave up for adoption.  {yelling at herself in her head} I don't even know if it was a boy or a girl!  
G:  You know, maybe you should go for some counseling.  Lately you've seemed like everything was troubling you.
M:  That's sweet of you, but, I'm fine.
G:  Well, I think I'm gonna call Jess & ask if she can recommend a good psychiatrist.
M:  Please, no.
G:  Why not?

Stefano's bedside
Kristen:  Father, are you asleep?
Stefano:  (in an annoyed tone of voice)  I was!
K:  I'm sorry.  I wanted to ask you something.
S:  Now that I'm up, I might as well answer your question.  Now what is it?
K:  Well, before you referred to Hope as Gina.  What ever happened that made you think that?
S:  I don't think I can answer that.
K:  But why?  Hope or Gina, whatever, left town, like, 7 years ago!  She took her kids with her.  Why can't you tell me.
S:  She left town?  Oh no.  (thinking to himself):Either she found out the secrets of her past, or she's left the country again to find out her past.  This can't be good.
K:  What's wrong?
S:  (hestitating)  Um, I thought I remembered something about my past that was bad.  I think that I was simply imagining it though.
K:  Oh.
(Stefano breathes a sigh of relief)

In the hospital
Mike:  Jess, I need a life.  Do you know any single woman around my age?
Jess:  I don't know Mike.  Let me think.  There's Kristen Blake/DiMera
M:  NO!  How could you even suggest her?  You've heard about all the trouble her father's put my family through.
J:  Sorry.  She's the only one I know of.
M:  Thanks anyway.  Maybe I'll go visit my son.  He lives in Israel you know.
J:  That'd be a good vacation for you.  How old is he?
M:  Well, I think he's (counting on his fingers) about 21 or so.
J:  Why doesn't he live with you?
M:  He lives with his mom.  She used to work here.
J:  Oh.  Well, I gotta go, there's some patients I have to see, but if you need anything, tell me.  Good luck.
M:  Thanks.
