Grant questions Paulina

In this episode, Paulina, Grant, Frankie, Cass, Jake, Vicky

CARLINOS HOUSE

Paulina opens the door, and Grant is there holding a bouquet of flowers to Paulina’s surprise.

Grant: Would you mind putting these in some water?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PI FIRM

Frankie is at her desk thinking about her last conversation with Charlie, and Cass walks in.

Frankie: Cass?

Cass: How are you?

Frankie: I’m okay I guess. How about you?

Cass: I’m fine. Look I’m just gonna cut to the chase. Charlie told me about your last conversation. Didn’t go too well did it?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MCKINNONS HOUSE

Jake walks in while Vicky sits on the couch...

Vicky: Coming to get your things?

Jake: As a matter of fact I am. I’m going out of town for a while.

Vicky: How could you do this? We just buried our daughter and you’re going out of town?

Jake: Where do you suggest I stay Vicky?

Vicky: Here! With your wife?

Jake: And Bridget?

Vicky stays silent, staying steadfast in her refusal to let Bridget come home.

Jake: How can YOU do this to Bridget? I can’t stay in the same house with you!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Paulina (putting the flowers in a vase): These are so beautiful.

Grant: Only for you.

Paulina: Thank you.

Grant (pecking Paulina on the cheek): You’re welcome.

Paulina: So…what brings you by?

Grant: Well I didn’t come to see Dante.

Paulina: You like my house then?

Grant: Your house is pretty nice, but don’t you wanna…spend some time outside of it?

Paulina: However do you mean?

Grant: A nice dinner at Tops…a walk on the riverfront.

Paulina: Plenty of flowers huh?

Grant: Yes…plenty of those.

Grant kisses Paulina but she doesn’t return it. “I…I can’t.” she replies.

Grant: Not tonight.

Paulina: Not…in the near future. You’ve been a great friend, but I am not going out with you. I’m sorry.

Grant: Why not?

Paulina: I’m not ready Grant.

Grant: Is it Joe? When are you going to move on? Joe is dead!

Paulina: How dare you talk about my husband like that!?

Grant: I have done some unsavory things in my life, but so have you. Dammit I’m falling in love with you Paulina. I don’t know what else to do.

Grant storms out, and Paulina stops him.

Paulina: Grant don’t leave.

Grant: Why should I stay? You’ve made it clear how you feel.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Frankie: No unfortunately it didn’t.

Cass: She was really devastated.

Frankie: I saw that Cass, you don’t have to remind me.

Cass: I was, too.

Frankie: You shouldn’t be. You were happy with Lila and Jasmine. You moved on.

Cass: You let us think you were dead for years, and you just show back up in Bay City! How do you think I’m supposed to feel?

Frankie: I don’t know Cass. How was I supposed to feel when I saw you with another woman. We overcame so much. Kathleen coming back from the dead; Cecile and her lies….even a stalker. I come back to town and you had already moved on. Staying away was the RIGHT thing!

Cass: No it wasn’t. Especially not for Charlie.

Frankie: I realize that now, and I apologized to her.

Cass: What about me? You owe me one, too.

Frankie’s cell phone rings.

Frankie: Is that what you came here for? Charlie tells you that she got her feelings out, and now it’s your turn? Well you know what, I don’t need the aggravation.

Cass: I don’t care if you’re irritated. Charlie wasn’t the only you hurt by staying away.

Frankie (answering her cell phone): And you hurt me by moving on so quickly! Hello? Oh…Oh my God. Okay. I’ll be right there.

Cass: What happened? Is everything okay?

Frankie (concerned): It’s my mother. They said she wants to see me right away.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Vicky: That’s not fair.

Jake: Not fair? You’ve really lost touch with reality. How are we gonna work anything out if you don’t even want the only child we have left in the house?

Vicky: You’re still in denial about what Bridget is capable of.

Jake: I’m outta here!

Vicky: Have a nice trip! But you might not be welcome when you get back.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jake (outside the door on his cell phone): Round trip to Genoa City, Wisconsin.
