Found another of my GL favorites. This time, from 2000. The scene features the divine Mary Stuart as Aunt Meta and Joie Lenz (Bethany Joy Galeotti) as Michelle. Michelle has had enough of Danny's (Paul Anthony Stewart) mob ties and has decided to leave him. Unfortunetly, she has found herself pregnant and is fearful of what Danny might do if he found out, so she has decided to run away. Meta is trying to keep her from doing that.

Meta: Where would you go?

Michelle: New York. I was thinking cause Drew's there. I know she would keep it a secret.

Meta: Wouldn't you miss your family?

Michelle: You know that would be the hardest part. You should have seen Rick's face when I told him. He was so excited. But if Danny finds out and he knows that I'm carrying his child, forget it, he's going to be all over me.

Meta: So, you're gonna run?

Michelle: No. Well I'm going to protect myself and my child.

Meta: For how long? Hon, if you leave now will you ever be able to come home?

Michelle: Of course I will.

Meta: When? If you show up in a year, won't Danny wonder about this new child of yours? If you run now, you'll never stop.

Michelle: I really don't think you understand what I'm up against.

Meta: I think I have a pretty good idea and I can imagine the rest. I can see how frightened you are and that is the best reasonI know for you to stay right here. Face it now. If you don't If you don't hold your ground now while you have friends and family to help and protect you, Danny will run your life no matter where you go. Honey, whatever you do, just don't do it from a place of fear. That's not who you are. That's not who we are.

Michelle: Bauer power, huh?

Meta: Something like that.

Michelle: Do we get secret strength, energy, pills with that at all?

Meta: No. You get a free babysitter morning, noon, or night. Any hour of the day. And Uncle Rick. He'll be right there.

Michelle: Uncle Rick! He's gonna be the best.

Meta: yes he is. Sweetheart I don't want to try to give you pie in the sky that's not what I'm promising. I know, Being a single mother is a hard job. There will be rough times ahead. But it is doable.

Michelle; Yeah it is. Okay, I probably have to get out of here. I have to meet Claire at the hospital to settle the matter. So, at least I know what to say.

Meta: Tell her to stick it in her ear.

Michelle: Something like that.

Meta: Hey, I'm happy for you.

Michelle: Thanks.

Meta: And Bauer babies are mighty pretty.

Michelle: Bye. (And walks out of the Bauer kitchen.)

Tracy to Anthony: “I’ll give you a million dollars to go suck on that air vent”

GOD, I love me some Tracy Q.

Maxie: You really think i could do that?

Johnny: I have no doubt.

Maxie: You would had you met me a few years ago. B.S., before spinelli, He believes in be so much that its hard for me not to believe in myself.

Okay, so since Anna Stuart has been bandied about the boards lately, does anyone remember this one scene where she ripped Carlos a new one in the Fusion office? I used to know the whole damn thing by heart, because it was so hilariously bitchy and great. And per usual, Anna Stuart sold it. I think this is it, but I may be missing a few lines:

It started out like, "And you're just interested in a romance with a little rich white girl aren't you? Well don't fool yourself poncho because Greenlee is going to drop you the second she meets a halfway decent man who doesn't walk around wearing a T-shirt with his name on it. You are not good enough for my daughter, you were not good enough the day you were born and you never will be!"

The whole speech was delivered with such gusto and arrogance and Anna Stuart totally sold it. And afterward, she turns around and fiercely exits. Max Anderson(the "actor" who played Carlos) usually tried to evoke some kind of emotion, but when Anna Stuart's Mary got done chewing his ass out, he just stood there, motionless, like there was no way he could respond to it. It was as if his pride was hurt and there was no way in hell Max Anderson was that good of an actor.

Am I missing any of it? Does anyone have a clip of this gem of a scene?

Not sure if this is my "favourite" per se, but I just had to put it here, if only for the sheer (brilliant) nastiness of the words!

Kay: Exactly what my day needed!

Jill: Am I interrupting something, Kay? Your mending... perhaps tea with Esther?

Kay: What do you want, Jill?

Jill: I want to see my son.

Kay: If I didn't know your mother Jill, I would swear you were raised in an alley.

Jill: Where is he?

Kay: Upstairs.

Jill: Thank you.

Kay: Wait a minute! Upstairs is off limits. I reserve it for humans.

Jill: Now, as I recall, you used to reserve that for stable boys.

Kay: You go in there, and sit down.

Jill: In fact, I remember the days I practically had to drag you up these stairs, drunk.

Kay: Ancient tales, Jill.

Jill: My sentiments exactly. Tell me Kay: When are you finally going to die? When the government finds a safe place to bury your liver, I suppose.

Kay: Oh, there are a few things worse than death, Jill. Like, spending a minute with you.

Jill: As long as you have my son here in this household, you're gonna put up with that.

Kay: We all have our crosses to bear, dear.

Jill: Get him!

Kay: My, my, we are anxious, aren't we? More news about Danny and Cricket, I bet Jill!

Jill: Oh, did we hear about that?

Kay: That they broke up? Oh, yes, I was here when you told Phillip.

Jill: What is it with you? Did you have your living room bugged?

Kay: Only when you slither in.

Jill: I hope you're not trying to discourage that relationship.

Kay: Discourage them? My dear, I encourage that relationship, I was the first one to do that.

Jill: Oh, do you mean we agree upon something, Kay?

Kay: Though I am certain our motives are quite different. I want Phillip to be happy... What do you stand to gain from it?

Jill: Anything that gets him out from under your dotting, withering old thumbs is definitely a healthy alternative for the boy.

Kay: Aha! That's it, I knew it. I knew that was it! You're hoping his interest for Cricket will detract from his love for me.

Jill: Love? Did I hear you say the word 'love'? Please, Kay, you are deluding yourself!

Kay: Why do you think he's living here? Certainly not for my cooking.

Jill: Any child, and Phillip is still very much a child, who gets as much attention as you give him, of course he's gonna hang around some more! It's sort of like a drug, it's addicting.

Kay: I'll take that as a compliment.

Jill: You would.

Kay: Well, the fact remains my dear, he is here, and he intends to stay.

Jill: I mean, don't you have anything better to do than to hover over my son, all day? I mean, really Kay, it's very disgusting. One would almost think that you're coming on to the child!

Kay: Perhaps I should tell him that.

Jill: Perhaps you should. You could warn him!

Kay: You truly are an ugly... person.

Jill: You spend every waking moment of your day pouring maple syrup on a teenage boy to get his affections, and you call me ugly? Why don't you do something useful, Kay? Get a job, or better yet why don't you die?

Kay: Aha, it irritates you! It truly irritates you, does it not, that I make more time for your son and wonderful Jill, doesn't.

Jill: If I had nothing to do all day, I would be closer to my son than you. Now, go get him! I'm wasting precious moments I could have with my son.

Kay: Precious, few moments, Jill.

Jill: Oh, Katherine, make no mistake. You're living in a fool's paradise here. My son will not be with you much longer, I promise you that!

Kay: You mean about next week?

Jill: Next week?

Kay: You mean you don't even remember?

Jill: Remember what?

Kay: Your own son! It's his eighteenth birthday! You really make a miserable excuse for a mother!

I absolutely LOVED this scene. Does anyone know if there is a copy of it on YouTube or somewhere out there? I've searched all over for it and no such luck!

It used to be. Check the poster "itsmandykimper'- or email her at youtube- she is a HUGE Dickson fan/buff and I know she posted that scene at one time

mandykimper is like the biggest Dickson fanboy EVER. Lots of Dickson clips are on YouTube from him.

So, I watched this religiously back then (as now). But I never picked up on Jill being QUITE this much of a classic-camp-Diva. Honestly, I think she was kind of "normal" for an 80s soap villainous. Now, I watch this, and she's like a freakin' Jessica Rabbit cartoon.

Somebody's reading cue cards...

LOL! There was a lot of that during this era. At every soap.
