Актеры "С-Б" в "Молодых и Дерзких" (Y&R)

Том и Эшли за ланчем в атлетическом клубе. Во время разговора Том замечает, что к бару направляется Майкл, который может раскрыть всю его игру. Но Эшли уходит, раньше, чем к Тому подходит Майкл.




Tom: I'm glad you could take a break.
Ashley: Yeah, me too. I was kind of surprised to get your call.
Tom: Well, you know, you told me where you work, so...
Ashley: And you just took it from there, huh? You're very resourceful.
Tom: Well, a man's gotta be.
Ashley: Mm-hmm.
Tom: I just hope I'm not making your test tubes and your beakers too jealous.
Ashley: You probably are, actually. Jabot could desperately use some new products these days.
Tom: Oh, now don't tell me you're feeling guilty.
Ashley: Sort of. I feel like I'm playing hooky.
Tom: Oh, jeez, I hate to think of you being chained to a Bunsen burner all day.
Ashley: I'm not chained. I love my job.
Tom: Mmm. Now there's a dangerous word.
Ashley: What, love?
Tom: Mm-hmm.
Ashley: Mmm, yeah, I guess it kind of is, isn't it? Except when it pertains to cosmetics.
Tom: Yeah. Maybe you're right. I was just trying to keep the conversation interesting.
Ashley: Mmm. Well, trust me. You don't have to try too hard.
Ashley: Is something wrong?
Tom: No, I'm just, uh... just hoping I'm not saying anything that's too, you know, out-of-bounds.
Ashley: Oh. No, but even if you were, you know, it's been so long since anybody has said anything out-of-bounds to me, um, I guess I kind of like it. So I forgive you.
Ashley: You know, for somebody who's concerned about going too far, you seem to enjoy pushing the envelope.
Tom: Hmm. What's that supposed to mean?
Ashley: Never mind.
Tom: No, tell me.
Ashley: Maybe I'm just being paranoid.
Tom: Maybe you have reason to be.
Ashley: Now what does that mean?
Tom: Well, depending on where a woman's been, what her life's been like, she might have reason to be a little cautious of somebody who she barely knows-- not that she'd have anything to fear from him.
Ashley: Well, I would hope that she wouldn’t.
Tom: I mean, any, you know, truly beautiful woman who's as smart as you are has got to be well aware of the kind of effect she has on any man. And any man who wasn't a fool would have to be on his best behavior anytime he had the privilege to be in her presence-- which might make the woman wonder whether he was for real or just playing her.
Ashley: Interesting theory.
Tom: Oh, it's more like a fact.
Ashley: So does that mean that this is your best behavior?
Tom: Do I look like a fool?
Ashley: So how do I know who the real you is then?
Tom: Well, you don’t. It'd be just the same, though, if any other guy were sitting here.
Ashley: Oh, that's not true. That's a cop-out. I know guys. I mean, you know, like Paul.
Tom: Oh, Paul, right. He seems like a real straight shooter.
Ashley: Yeah, he is. He is. He's very sweet. He's very sincere.
Tom: Oh. Sincere is nice.
Ashley: What do you mean by that?
Tom: Just that you gotta have a little fun in life.
Ashley: So you don't think I have fun?
Tom: I don't know. Do you?
Ashley: No, I don’t. Not as much as I should.
Tom: That's where I come in. But first we gotta get out of here.
Ashley: Why?
Tom: Well, this may be an athletic club, but it's no place to have fun.
Ashley: What kind of fun were you thinking about?
Tom: Well, the kind you find when you kind of look beyond sincere.
Ashley: I can’t.
Tom: Come on.
Ashley: No, I really-- I can’t. I've got to get back to work.
Tom: All right. Suit yourself.
Ashley: That's it? You're just gonna give up like that?
Tom: Well, far be it from me to keep Ashley Abbott from creating the next miracle for the makeup industry.
Ashley: Uh-huh.
Tom: Just... just tell me I can call you again.
Ashley: Far be it from me to tell you when you can pick up the telephone.
Tom: Well, I thought I'd practice my good manners, you know?
Ashley: Oh.
Tom: Anyway, I'll see you soon, and thank you for joining me.
Ashley: Well, thank you. No, don't get up.

К Тому подсаживается Майкл, который интересуется, почему тот еще в городе.







Michael: You were supposed to leave.
Tom: Why would I do that? I love Genoa City. I mean, the food is good, the women are beautiful--
Michael: I paid you to go far, far away. I wasn't kidding.
Tom: And what are you gonna do if I don't?
Michael: You're the only one unaware of the fact that you are a violent, abusive son of a bitch. You should--
Tom: So I was a little harsh with Kevvie.
Michael: "A little"? "A little." You beat a child. You put him in a closet. You'd leave him there for days.
Tom: Come on, don't exaggerate.
Michael: He couldn't go to school sometimes because of the bruises.
Tom: Yeah? You got that in writing? Look, I admit that I wasn't exactly cut out for parenthood, but what are you gonna do? Put an ad in the paper saying Tom Fisher was a bad Dad who used the old belt buckle too much?
Michael: It's a thought.
Tom: Yeah, right, me and half the other fathers on the planet.
Michael: Ohh, is that so? What, does saying that make you feel like a little less of a freak?
Tom: Take it easy, buddy. Wouldn't want you to blow a gut there.
Michael: Oh, thank you, but it's not my health you should be concerned about.
Tom: You know, I could've whooped you 20 years ago, and I would be more than happy to do it again today.

Поняв, что по-хорошему Том уезжать не собирается, Майкл угрожает ему.




Tom: Yeah, smart boy.
Michael: All right... what's it gonna take to get you to leave Genoa City?
Tom: Whatever it is, you ain't got it.
Michael: Come on, tell me. Let's hear it. What are you up to, Tom?
Tom: Why do you always assume the worst about me?
Michael: Maybe 'cause you are the worst, and if you try anything, and I mean anything with Kevin or Gloria or anybody in this town... you'll pay for it.
Tom: Now wait just a damn minute. Didn't I hear that, uh, you did some time, Mikey? Now who are you to look down your nose at me?
Michael: Trust me, it's not hard.
Tom: You know, you always did think you were better than me, even when I was the one puttin' a roof over your... head.
Michael: I am better than you, by any measure you care to name.
Tom: Hmm.
Michael: So tell me. What do I have to do to get you out of town?
Tom: Why are you in such a hurry to run me out of town?
Michael: Well, for one thing--Kevin. He's come a long way in getting over what you did to him.
Tom: I never did anything to that little cockroach he didn't deserve.
Michael: And for another, you generally stink up the area.
Tom: Careful, Mikey.
Michael: "Careful"? "Careful"? Come on, bring it on.
Tom: That's mighty tough talk.
Michael: No, listen, old man, things have changed since I left you.
Tom: Well, lucky for you, I don't play that rough stuff anymore. I'm reformed.
Michael: That'll be the day.
Tom: But I'll tell you one thing. I hated it when you looked down on me back then, and I hate it now, so you better watch yourself, or you're gonna be lookin' at me in a whole different way, and you're not gonna like it.

Джина сообщает Тому, что его кредит заморожен. Присутствующий при этом Майкл берет реванш и обещает заплатить за Тома. Том отказывается и платит наличными. Джина рада, что все уладилось, и перед уходом поздравляет Майкла с его помолвкой с Лорен.



Gina: Tom, I'm so sorry to have to tell you this. I honestly didn't know. But your credit here has been cut off.
Michael: Oh, how embarrassing. Oh, not to worry, Gina. I'll be happy to take care of this gentleman's last meal here.
Michael: Thank you, Gina.
Tom: Hold on there a second, Gina. I'm not a freeloader. Let's, uh, let's give Mr. Baldwin his money back. Let's see now... that oughta take care of it. Thank you, darlin'.
Gina: Thank you. Thank both of you.
Michael: Where'd you get all that money? My, don't we look dapper? In a sleazy sort of way. Hmm. You couldn't have anything left over from the 10 grand I gave you, so... oh. You been playin' the ponies? You strike it rich at blackjack?
Tom: No, I got a lot of ways to make money, mike.
Michael: Oh, right, besides gambling? Oh, right. Blackmail, extortion.
Tom: The point is, I don't need yours.
Michael: Great. Then you should be on your way real soon.
Tom: Mm, I don't think so. No, you see, I like it here. I like the people.
Michael: You don't like people. You use people. Who are you inflicting yourself on?
Tom: Oh, there is a very attractive lady, for one.
Michael: Hmm, well, that sounds like trouble.
Tom: Look, I told you before, Mike, I'm not here to make trouble. I just want to make a new start with my family.
Michael: You and I do not cross at any point whatsoever. We all came here to get very, very far away from you.
Tom: Well, now it's time to kiss and make up.
Michael: In hell. It'll be a cold, snowy day in hell.
Gina: Tom, here's your change.
Tom: Oh, that's okay, Gina. I don't need any change. I'm sorry. I shoulda told you that.
Gina: Oh, no, that's all right. Thank you very much. Michael, um, before I forget, I want to congratulate you on your engagement. I hope you and Lauren-- you'll be very happy. Excuse me.
Tom: Well, I'll be. Now there's the perfect occasion for a family get-together-- a wedding. What do you say, Mikey, can I be your best man?

Майкл признает, что у него скоро свадьба с Лорен, но требует, чтобы Том держался подальше от его семьи.







Michael: Trust me, when Lauren and I tie the knot, you will not be on the guest list.
Tom: Oh, that's a shame. I would've brought you a lovely gift.
Michael: The only gift I really want is for you to leave town.
Tom: Well, that's not gonna happen. See, I can live anywhere I choose, see anybody I want, 'cause there's nothing standing in my way.
Michael: Yet.
Tom: Oh, that's right. You got friends in high places. Lawyers and judges and cops-- oh, my. But don't you have to have, uh, some proof that I'm up to no good? I mean, last I checked-- I mean, you're the lawyer, of course-- but a man was free in this country until proven guilty.
Michael: Oh, you're guilty all right, Tom. By rights, you shoulda been put away a long time ago for what you did.
Tom: I'll say it again, mike. I'm a different man now.
Michael: Stay away from Kevin and Gloria.
Tom: Now why would I want to cause any trouble for Gloria? I just want her to be happy. Lord knows I let her down in that department. No, the last thing I'd want would be for her marriage to fail.
Michael: Sweet, but somehow I doubt your good intentions.
Tom: Well, that's your problem.
Michael: What is it you want, Tom? What are you after?
Tom: Now you listen to me. I'm gonna stay in this town as long as I like. So you better get used to it.
Michael: I'd almost erased that horrible, crazed look of yours from my mind.
Tom: Oh, but you couldn't forget my smilin' face, could you?
Michael: No. That is the problem.
Tom: No, that's not the problem. The problem is you want me to leave town. You want me to be scared of you, and I'm just not.
Michael: No, you wouldn't have the sense to be.
Tom: Oh, Michael, can't you see, I'm just doin' what I have to do here to keep body and soul together?
Michael: Soul?
Tom: Look, no hard feelings, okay? I wish you and, uh, you know, your bride-to-be a long, happy life. Now make yourself scarce, huh? I got some, uh, personal business to attend to.
Michael: Hmm. What kind of business?
Tom: Now, Mikey, you don't expect me to tell you.
Michael: You're not a member of this club. You're not a guest here. Your free ride is over, Tom.
Tom: Well, I guess we'll see about that. (Cell phone rings)
Tom: Aren't you gonna get that? Might be one of your big friends.
Michael: Don't push me, Tom.

После ухода Майкла, Том звонит Эшли и приглашает ее на обед в ресторан атлетического клуба




Ashley: Hello.
Tom: Hey, Ashley. It's Tom. What, did I catch you at a bad time?
Ashley: Nothing I can't handle. How are you?
Tom: Well, I'm all right. But I'd be a lot better if you'd join me for dinner.
Ashley: That'd be a very nice change of pace, actually.
Tom: Meet me at the club?
Ashley: Yeah. The club in about an hour. Bye.
Tom: Yeah, well, Michael's becoming a bit of a problem. Never did know when to keep his mouth shut. And that's where you come in. No, everything's goin' along all right, but-- well, no. Of course it's gonna take time. I'm not about to rush things. That's when you do something stupid. No, I'm just gonna keep takin' it nice and slow and easy.

Том приходит в ресторан и сразу же видит, что Эшли разговаривает с Джоном и Глорией. К нему подходит Джина, Том с трудом от нее избавляется.


Gina: Hey, Tom.
Tom: Hey.
Gina: It's good to see you again.
Tom: Yeah, you too.
Gina: Would you like a table?
Tom: Uh, no, thanks, Gina.
Gina: Well, let me know if I can do anything for you.
Tom: Okay. Yeah.

Тома видит Эшли, и подходит к нему. Она говорит, что здесь ее отец и мачеха, и она потеряла аппетит.



Ashley: Well, there you are. Hi.
Tom: Oh, look who's here after all.
Ashley: I've been here. I'm surprised you didn't notice me.
Tom: Oh, well, I'm a little nearsighted. Just too vain to wear glasses.
Ashley: Oh, really? Is that a new suit?
Tom: Yeah. Do you like it?
Ashley: It's very nice. You probably didn't see me because I was standing with my father and his so-called wife.
Tom: Oh. They still around?
Ashley: Yeah. Actually, they're over there.
Tom: Oh, so that's the wicked stepmother, huh?
Ashley: Yeah. You know, now that they're here and we're here, I've lost my appetite.
Tom: Well, we can go someplace else. Listen, I found this little hole in the wall, Eddie’s.
Ashley: Bet you think this is totally crazy. Um... why don't we go work out?
Tom: Work out?
Ashley: Yeah, you know...
Tom: All right.

Том находит Эшли в тренажерном зале. Пытается ее поразить своими мускулами и флиртует.






Ashley: Hey there.
Tom: Hey, uh, you know, I'm not really dressed for working out.
Ashley: Yeah, but I just... I just can't be in the same room as Gloria. You understand, right?
Tom: It's really that bad?
Ashley: Yeah, it is. I'm sorry. I know I keep complaining about her.
Tom: No, it's okay. I'll tell you what. For you, I will make myself comfortable, and we'll fool around here a little bit, okay?
Ashley: Okay.
Tom: Forget all about her.
Ashley: All right.
Tom: All right. (Grunts)
Ashley: Huh.
Tom: Now wait a second.
Ashley: You're not really the workout type, are you?
Tom: You know what? I get plenty of exercise working outdoors, 'cause I do a lot of manual labor.
Ashley: Uh-huh.
Tom: Yeah, I build houses.
Ashley: Oh.
Tom: Do crafts work. I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty. But I wouldn't mind having the kind of free time and money it must take to work out in a place like this. I tell you what. Just for grins, why not you teach me the right way to work out?
Ashley: You're gonna get real sweaty.
Tom: Well, I don't mind.
Ashley: Okay. This is called a curl.
Tom: Oh, oh, oh.
Ashley: You know, I still don't know anything about you. Still, I don’t.
Tom: Well, I thought that's, you know, what you liked-- a little mystery.
Ashley: Uh... well, actually, I think what I found intriguing was the way you just came in out of nowhere, you know, and tried to persuade me to support my father's marriage.
Tom: Mm-hmm.
Ashley: You were rude, but it was okay.
Tom: Have you been taking my advice?
Ashley: I think I could still use some persuading.
Tom: Well, I'd be willing to do that for you on some kind of regular basis even. Listen, are you, uh... thirsty?
Ashley: Yeah. Yeah.
Tom: Ohh. (Bones crack)
Ashley: (Laughs)
Tom: What?
Ashley: Working out might be good for what ails ya.
Tom: Well, only if you'd be my workout partner. Kidding.

Том на минуту выходит из спорзала. Звонит телефон в его пиджаке, и Эшли хочет вытащить его, чтобы ответить за Тома. В этот момент появляется Том и злится, что Эшли занимается самоуправством.



Tom: Hey. What the hell are you doin'? (Ring)
Ashley: I beg your pardon.
Tom: My phone. (Ring)
Tom: What are you doin' with it?
Ashley: Well, I was going to give it to you. Here. (Ring)
Tom: Okay, well, I shouldn't have snapped at you like that. Um, I'm sorry.
Ashley: You should be.

Резкий тон Тома отталкивает Эшли, и она молча уходит. Том понимает свою ошибку и извиняется. Эшли смотрит на него с подозрением, но потом смягчается и соглашается вместе пообедать.









Tom: Really, I am sorry, Ashley.
Ashley: Yeah, I was just trying to be nice. I don't know why you had to be such a jerk about it.
Tom: Look, I admit, I-I can be a little bit of a hothead sometimes. It's one of the things I'm-- I'm tryin' to change about myself.
Ashley: Yeah, I can see why.
Tom: No, really, I am. I am changin'. I'm--I'm tryin' real hard and I'm doin' a good job at it, but just--I don't know, seeing you there with my phone, for some reason, it just kind of threw me off.
Ashley: Well, next time I'll be sure to let the damn thing ring.
Tom: Does that mean there'll be a next time?
Ashley: You know, the way you acted, it was almost as if you had something to hide. Do you?
Tom: Why would I have anything to hide from you? We're--we're friends, aren't we?
Ashley: I don't know. Are we? I keep telling you, I don't know anything about you. Who are you, Tom? Is it even your real first name?
Tom: Yes, my name is Tom. Tom Callahan. I'm originally from Michigan. My, uh, favorite color is green. My favorite hobby is fishing--smelting. You know that already. In high school, let me see, I played a little baseball, when I wasn't drinking beer and chasing girls.
Ashley: Okay, okay, I-I get the picture.
Tom: So if there's anything else you wanna know, you just go ahead and ask me, okay? I'm really pretty much an open book.
Ashley: Somehow I doubt that.
Tom: Look, I know I'm... you know, I'm a little different from the kind of guys you usually go out with.
Ashley: I liked that about you. Now I'm not so sure.
Tom: Ashley, please. Give me another chance.
Ashley: I don't think so. I don't know.
Tom: Wait, wait, wait. I'm--I'm just... I'm not used to bein' in the company of a woman of your caliber. I-I think you're--maybe you're just a little out of my class.
Ashley: Really?
Tom: No, I mean it.
Ashley: Yeah?
Tom: Yeah.
Ashley: Hmm, you know, that just doesn't explain why you freaked out when I picked up your phone, does it?
Tom: I'm--I'm doin' a kind of a business thing, and it's kind of at a crucial stage. It’s... I'm sorry. I-I didn't mean to scare you like that. The last thing I want is for you to be afraid of me.
Ashley: I'm not afraid of you. I'm embarrassed for you.
Tom: Okay. I deserve that. I'm embarrassed for myself. Just give me another chance. Please, huh? Can I make it up to you? You want me to buy you dinner? I'll bet you your father and that wicked stepmother of yours are gone by now.
Ashley: Well, it's kind of late. I think I'll just go home.
Tom: No. You don't mean that, do you? Not really.
Ashley: I-I didn't like your tone. You know, maybe it-- maybe it's me. I just--
Tom: No, no, it's not you. I'm sorry, and that will never happen again. I promise.
Ashley: Okay, well, it better not, or it's the last time.
Tom: Does that mean we're on for tonight? Listen, I know you gotta be hungry after all that workin' out.
Ashley: I'm a little hungry. I'm a little hungry, I am, but...
Tom: Look, why don't you go take a shower and change and, you know, just give me 20 minutes and I will take care of everything.
Ashley: Okay. However, you are forewarned.
Tom: Hey, forewarned is forearmed. 20 minutes, okay?
Tom: Oh, man.
