CORY PUBLISHING

Amanda walks into Iris’s office with her tablet…

Amanda: I’m getting the final numbers together.

Iris: I’m glad you’re here. How was your evening?

Amanda: As if you’re really concerned.

Iris: Amanda, we’re working together, so can we at least be cordial. We don’t have to be mean to each other.

Amanda: Don’t get me wrong, I’m grateful to be back here at daddy’s company, but working with you is not going to be easy.

Iris: I’m not stupid. I know you don’t trust me after what happened at the hearing, but somewhere deep down, you want what’s best for Cory Publishing, and so do I. That’s why I need to talk to you.

Amanda: About what?

Iris: I’ve been thinking about some changes here at Cory Publishing. In fact, I don’t want it to be called Cory Publishing anymore.

BAY CITY CENTER

Rachel is sipping her coffee and looking at her tablet, and Paulina walks up to her.

Rachel (getting up): Paulina honey. It’s great to see you.

Paulina (sitting down): It’s been a while for us.

Rachel: Yes it has, and it is long overdue. So glad you called me.

Paulina: I know you’ve been a little preoccupied after what happened with Cory Publishing.

Rachel: That was difficult, but no matter what is going on in my life, I always have time for you. So what’s goin’ on? Tell me.

Paulina: I called you because we need to put our heads together.

Rachel: And do what?

Paulina: And find a way to get Iris out of Cory Publishing.

STACEY’S APARTMENT

Stacey opens the door, and Vicky walks in.

Vicky: We have to talk about Lindsay.

Stacey (shutting the door): I’m not discussing my daughter with you.

Vicky: I’m sorry but this has to be discussed. Did you know that Jake hurt his knee and Lindsay is his physical therapist?

Stacey: I’m aware of that.

Vicky: Well that can’t happen. You’ve got to convince Lindsay to give Jake’s care to another therapist.

Stacey: I don’t appreciate you coming to my apartment telling me how to handle my daughter.

Vicky: Do you want the truth to come out? Do you want see how much this might hurt Lindsay?

Stacey: Of course not.

Vicky: Then do something!

PART 2

Amanda: What do you mean?

Iris: It’s time to move the company into a new era. The company can’t do what it did in the past and expect to be successful.

Amanda: That’s obvious.

Iris: Times have changed and the company has to change with it. That being said, I would like to take the company into new ventures, like television shows.

Amanda: That’s very risky. Networks are not as patient as they used to be with shows. If they cancel the shows after a couple of airings, then we lose money. I’m not sure if we should be taking chances like that.

Iris: Why not? Didn’t daddy have to take chances in order for his company to grow? I want this company to do more than just print. I want people to watch our programs on their tablets and laptops anytime. There is money to be made in those markets. That’s why I want to change our name.

Amanda: Change our name? You mean the company’s name.

Iris: That’s right. I want Cory Publishing to now be called Cory Productions. Are you with me?

Amanda: Hmmm…I think you’re right. I’ll go with it. Cory Productions it is.

Rachel: Paulina I…

Paulina: Iris doesn’t deserve to be in control of Cory.

Rachel: That company belongs to all of you. That’s what Mac wanted.

Paulina: It’s yours, too Rachel. Dad loved you.

Rachel: Yes and I loved him, too, but I probably can’t help you.

Paulina: Why not?

Rachel: It’s Carl. He’s afraid that if I fight for Cory Publishing, that it will consume me and I’ll put it before our marriage.

Paulina: Oh come Rachel I don’t think he truly believes that, not after all you two have been through to be together.

Rachel: For some reason, Carl thinks he’s in competition with Mac. He couldn’t be further from the truth.

Paulina: Of course he is. He’s your husband, and he loves you. He has to understand that you will always be part of Cory Publishing.

Rachel: A part of me will always love Mac, but I love Carl with all my heart. That being said, I have an idea of how we can start the process of taking Iris down.

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

Vicky: Look I didn’t come to fight about this. We both have our reasons for not wanting Jake to know that he’s Lindsay’s father.

Stacey: We both agree that Jake can’t know the truth. Lindsay could be devastated if Jake can’t a feel a bond with her because he doesn’t remember anything about how we…

Vicky: And who knows what’s going to happen if Jake has all those memories rushing back to him?

Stacey: We’re trying to protect the people we love.

Vicky: That’s why you’ve got to get Lindsay away from Jake.

Stacey: You worry about Jake, and I’ll handle Lindsay.

Vicky leaves and Stacey makes a phone call…

Stacey: It’s your mother. Can you come to my apartment? It’s very important.
