Next on Genoa City

Jill: How dare you go behind my back and offer my son a job.

Katherine: Jill, for heaven's sake, it's not a crime to offer the boy a way to get to know the family

Jill: He would have already known the family if YOU hadn't have done what you did.

Ji Min (on the phone): We need to talk right away, Jack.

Jack: If this is about Gloria, I'm not interested...

Ji Min: It's much worse than Gloria Fisher.

Dru: I don't understand how you of all people can sit there and defend Daniel Romalotti.

Neil: It's not a question about defending Daniel, Dru. It's about letting them work things out themselves.

Dru: If you think I'm going to let that troublemaker continue to hurt my baby, you're sadly mistaken.
