Cynthia told you that she had an abortion? / Well, yes. / Heh, this may sound weird, but my wife may be under a grave delusion concerning the ABORTION. She, uh... thinks that she is someone else. / Mr McRae, I think we have some channels switched. Cynthia IS delusional, but NOT about her identity or the abortion. / Are you saying that my wife really DID have an abortion? / Yes. She had it five years ago. |
|
Cynthia said she told you about the abortion. I'm a little confused here. She said you were okay with it. / OKAY WITH IT?? That girl murdered a child and I'm supposed to be okay with it? / Calm down, Mr. McRae. / She's right Paul. You need to sit down and think this through. Just calm down. / NO! / I WILL NOT CALM DOWN! |
|
I'm... I'm so, so sorry Mrs. Monroe. I didn't mean to hit you... I didn't. / I'm okay, just... / I'm just so upset. / AND I'M NOT?!! You! I don't know why my daughter felt she had to have an abortion, but I'm going to find out. Until then, you just can your politics! / And the same goes for you!! / Huh? / Okay, what did I miss? -- Anybody want a cheerwine? |
|
If you ever hit my wife again, you won't ever be walking again, got it?! / I'm sorry. It was an accident. / I don't care! / You know, this is all your fault. / What's my fault? I don't even know what's going on! / Abortion? No, not my little girl. Never. / Paul hit my mom?! Cynthia had an abortion?! Was there some apocalypse I was unaware of?! / SHUT THE HELL UP!! / Uh... shut up, please? |
|
Is it true? Did you have an abortion? / ... Yes. / When? / While you were living in Raleigh, five years ago. / Then the child you... it couldn't have been mine. Whose was it? / I can't... |
| |
|
Cynthia, please. Don't you think I have the right to know? / You were gone. I was so lonely... and so was he. It was just one night. There were too many drinks, too much feeling sorry for ourselves. / It was Jubal, wasn't it? / What? No... no way. / I'm afraid, yes way. |
|
JUBAL??? / JUBAL AND CYNTHIA??? / My Jubal??? My Cynthia??? Together??? Pregnant??? Abortion??? / I'm gonna kill him!!! |
|
Oh no... / I have to get out of here! Get out of my way... please, get away! / Chelsea, you can prove the ghost was real! Stop! / Chelsea! Come back! I need you to change here! I need you to show the doctor and Paul... please? / Hey! / This is working quite well. / Chelsea? |
|
No! No! No! No! No!! I will NOT change!! / Grrrr! Grrrr! / Uh, security, it looks like we have another escapee from the fifth floor. Present location is elevator three, headed to the ground floor. / Calm... / Calm down, calm down, calllllllm down. Sweep the yard. Gently sweep back and forth... Calm. / Ma'am, you'll be okay. Some nice gentlemen are coming to help. / Huh? |
|
Just wait right here, and everything will be okay. / Uh, ignore me. I'm kind of having a bad day. Okay? / This the one? / Yes. / Come with us please, Ma'am. / I'm just here visiting my sister and... / Oh, the hell with it! / Zap!! / Wha...? |

Goddess, I just know that doctor of Cynthia's thinks I'm a total freak now. I only hope I can explain... / Doctor? What are you doing here? / Shhhh. / This is the begining, pureblood. From this day on, I intend to make your life an ocean of misery, until you have nothing left. You did not see me. / ... my actions so I don't come off as a complete nut. Of course, talking to myself doesn't paint a big SANE sign on me. / W-Where's Dr. White? She was standing right here... / Cynthia? / Cynthia! I am so sorry I did not get here sooner. One of my girls went into labor. / But, you were just here. Just a second ago. / I am sorry, but I have been in delivery for the past few hours. I only saw Cynthia's lab work a few minutes ago. / Wait a minute, you've changed. |
|
It seems that I may have experienced just a tad too much joy this season. |
|
Ahem. / Merry Christmas, Yuletide, Chanaka, Ramadan, Kwanza, Winter Soltice, and a Ho Ho Ho. / Did I forget anyone? / What about the atheists? / Have a nice day. |
|
I wrapped it myself. / I... see. |
|
Happy Christmas Chelsea. / Happy Christmas Jubal. / So this is Christmas, and what have we done? / Another year over, and an new one just begun... / Copyright! Copyright! We can't do that song without copyright! / Yeah, and Yoko doesn't really need the money. / I thought Michael Jackson owned that song. / No, Jacko bought the Beatles song catalog. Happy Xmas (War is Over) is a John Lennon tune. / Hmmm, War is Over. Interesting sub-title for this day and age. / It's a timeless classic. / Now, what could we do without a copyright? / There's always the Boar's Head carol. / I think not. / Oh well. Happy Yuletide Chelsea. / Merry Christmas Jubal. |
|
You were standing here only two minutes ago, but you wearing a lab coat, jeans and sandals. / ? / Look folks, I can appreciate a good joke too, but not when it comes to the relationship I have with my patients. Now if you don't mind, I would like to speak with Cynthia alone. / Again? / But, we just did that and then you told them about my abortion. / I never... Cynthia and I will only be a few minutes. / Deja-vu, here we go again. |
| |
|
Cynthia, I would never betray your trust. As a doctor, I CANNOT breach your confidence. This is a very serious accusation and we need to investigate this matter throroughly, but at the moment I need to know that you still have faith in me as a caregiver. / I don't know what to believe any more. Paul knows about the abortion, there's a ghost after me, I don't know if you're you or who. All I know is I'm scared. / Ghost? / Do we have to go through that again? / Cynthia, I wasn't... / No. We do not have to go through that again. |
|
All right, with the exception of a minor bruise, you are fit as a fiddle... both physically and mentally. / I am not sure what to make of the GHOST, but if anyone or ANYTHING threatens you again, you must promise to seek help. Call 911 and then call me. In fact, you may call me anytime, even if it is just to talk. I will check out this IMPOSTER for us both. / Thank you. / Oh, we had to do another ultrasound to make sure your baby was okay. Would you like to know the sex? / Uh, okay. / You are going to have a boy. |
|
Mr. and Mrs. Monroe, please accept my apologies for my actions earlier today. I... uh, Diane, I can't believe I hit you. Please know that I didn't intend to, but I did. I suppose it was all the stress, however that is no excuse. I am sorry. / I think I can understand your anger, but please don't be too hard on Cynthia. / That's why I need to be alone for a while. I think it would be best if Cynthia stayed with you for a day or so. She'd probably rather do that, anyway. I'll speak with her tomorrow. / Has anyone seen my... shoe? Okay, what's going on? I missed something again, didn't I? |
|
Paul! Paul! I have to tell you... / Cynthia. / Where's Paul? / He's gone, dear. Paul said he would talk with you tomorrow and to stay with us tonight? Is that what you'd like to do? / I suppose that IS best, but I wanted to tell him... we're going to have a BOY. / Boy? / Well, damnit! Something good FINALLY came out of all this... MESS! |
|
Wait! Before we all go, I have to say this. I am sorry that I didn't tell you about Jubal and the abortion. I wanted to tell you, but I was afraid. I know that sounds stupid, but so am I. / You're DAMN RIGHT it was stupid!! How could you?! What the HELL were you thinking, getting into a situation like that! And what the hell you were afraid of?! / You have to ask? / You're really not going to kill Jubal, are you? / Well, not TOO bad. / We need to talk! |
| |
|
Dr. Patterson? May I speak with you a moment? / Please, Paul, come in. / I'm just revising my sermon for Sunday. What may I do for you? / I need some advice. It's quite a distressing matter, actually. / Please, sit down, Paul. I'll be glad to help ya if I can. / My wi -- Cynthia. I just found out she had an abortion some time ago. / Yours? / My brother's. / Oh my. / When I found out, I... hit my mother-in-law. Damn, it's all so absurd, it's almost funny. / Heh. / Snicker Snicker / But... / It's not funny! / It's not -- / I know, I know. It's isn't funny at all -- HaHaha. / No, hehe, it's not, hehehhe. |
|
I am sorry, Paul. I didn't mean to make light of your dilemma. I thought for a second you were rehashing my wife's daily soap operas. / That's okay. I shouldn't have laughed. / You're obviously under a great deal of stress, my boy. Sometimes, the only way to relieve stress is to laugh or cry. I prefer laughing, myself. / But you didn't come here to hear my philosophies. / What's on your mind? / Can we... can we take a walk? |
|
Cynthia had the abortion five years ago, so it wasn't TECHNICALLY an affair. She and I weren't married, but we were involved. I could almost forgive that though. The killing of a baby... / And there lies the problem. You need to understand, that any time someone talks about abortion, they begin to sound like a PREACHER or a politician and no one likes either one. / As far as the Church is concerned, it's wrong and that's the end of it... only that's not the end. What exactly IS life? Who really has authority? What about the mother? / See. I'm sounding like a politician already. / Heh. |
|
The other thing is... I'm afraid to confront Jubal. After the incident with Mrs. Monroe, I'm not certain how I will react. I've never thought of myself as being violent. / Now, I'm not sure. / Do you love your wife and brother? / At the moment... yes, I do. / Of course you do. / So you forgive them and move on. Unless you want to lose them, that's all you can do. |
|
You're a strong individual, Paul. I know you can lick whatever is thrown your way. You can lick this. You just need faith. / I have faith... or at least, I thought I did. There's so much coming at me all at one time, and it's very hard to judge what is real and what is not. / Then take the time to deal with it. / Take the hands of the very people you are angry with right now and hold on. They'll be your best leverage. I guarantee it. / I think my house is haunted and that my sister-in-law is a cat. / And I thought we were doing so well. |
| |
|
I must confess that I haven't ever seen a ghost, but that doesn't mean they aren't around. But I KNOW I've never seen a woman who was a cat. / I suppose you are speaking figuratively? / Well, actually... / Look, I need to run on. I've taken up too much of your time, but I DO thank you for your help. / Only if your're okay, now. / I'll be fine. / My sister-in-law is a dog... in a manner of speaking. |
|
Key! Catbutt! / My name is Sebastian! / Jubal!! Diane called a few hours ago. Cynthia was attacked this afternoon! Someone attacked her right in her own home! / What?! Is she okay?! How? / She's fine now. Jubal, you and I need to have a talk. / Huh? |
|
Do you know why I love the rooftops? I can look down at the them and just... pick one, like a bird of prey. / Especially when you can PLAY with your food, just as I am playing with HER. / I still say she is too dangerous. Kill her now. / NO! When Dracula is back, we will own the witch! With her power, we will be his equal and nothing will stop us! NOTHING! / You will do nothing with the pureblood witch! / Who? / I must say that your schemes with the Chattan witch have been entertaining thus far, but a word of warning. DO NOT harm her in any way, or you will answer to me. / She is mine to deal with. / She is mine alone! / LILITH! |
|
Jubal! You... I... waaaa... eeee... / Don't move! I have to go pee! / Perhaps you should sit down for this one? / Nuh-uh. I don't know what I did, but I ain't moving a single hair. |
|
Feel better? / NO! / I am so mad at you! But I can't be, because I kind of, sort of, did the same thing with Rose and that makes me even madder that I can't be mad at you, even though I'm still mad! / Pop! Pop! Pop! / Two questions. Did you just make sparks, and what are you talking about? / You and my BABY sister? Five years ago? Pregnancy? Abortion? Ring a bell? / Oh yeah. / What a tangled web we weave. |
