In Troy's Office

Lindsay: Hey! Well I'm assuming that you were here all night. So I stopped off at the coffee shop and picked up a muffin and some coffee for you. Some real coffee, not the swill they serve you in the cafeteria.

Troy: (doing paperwork) Should I have it tested for arsenic?

Lindsay: I'm trying to make amends here. What would you say if I told you that I'm really sorry about the way I've treated you since you arrived.

Troy: Oh that's easy. (looking up at Lindsay) I'd say that I don't believe you. Lindsay listen

Lindsay: I do feel bad about the things I said last night. I was wrong to question your professional ethics. That's why I brought you the muffin and the coffee. It's a peace offering. If I test taste it, will it make you feel better?

Troy: No, that won't be necessary.

Lindsay: You were right to give Bo those test results. And Nora was right to defend you, especially after how hard you were working to save her little boy.

Troy: Thank you. Ah, wow, look Lindsay uh you know I didn't get any sleep last night. (walking her to the door) And I have a whole days work ahead of me. So if you don't mind, if your done apologizing . . .

Lindsay: How's Matthew? (he looks at her) I'm not asking you to break a doctor/patient confidentiality. I'm just asking in a general way how Matthew's doing.

Troy: Last time I checked, Matthew was resting comfortably.

Lindsay: Good. He's a great kid. I was worried about him.

Troy: He is a great kid . . . (walking back to his desk) Oh hey thanks for the muffin and coffee.

Lindsay: Your welcome. (walking back into the office) Nora doesn't just stick up for just anybody you know.

Troy: Is that a fact?

Lindsay: No, she's got high standards. Impossibly high standards if you ask me, if they're friends, but um she must think your pretty special.

Troy: Good to know.

Lindsay: You know after everything settles down, maybe you and I could go out to dinner.

Troy: (smiling) Did you just ask me out on a date?

Lindsay: NO I, I wasn't asking you out on a date!

Troy: It sounded like you were asking me on a date.

Lindsay: It's not a date. I mean we could just go on a hang out just to get to know each other better.

Troy: And what if I told you I was already taken?

Lindsay: Well I guess I'd have to tell you I don't believe you.

Troy: I'm pretty sure I should be offended by that comment.

Lindsay: No you don't have to be offended. It's just that I've done my homework and I know that you're not dating any of your collegues. And I don't think that you've been in town long enough to meet anybody new.

Troy: Well, that's where you're wrong.

Lindsay: Really! Am I? Tell me who's the mystery woman?

Troy: My personal life is none of your business Lindsay.

Lindsay: Oh no! Oh no, no, no, it's Nora, isn't it? It's Nora! Nora is your mystery woman. You are just like your brother!

Troy: Hey, hey, HEY! I am NOTHING like my brother!

Lindsay: When it comes to her you are. I gotta tell you I just, I don't get it.

Troy: What don't you get?

Lindsay: I don't get how you could be fixated on the same woman.

Troy: Let me ask you something Lindsay. Why were you in such a panic the night of Colin's will reading, hmm?

Lindsay: Everyone was.

Troy: Yeah, but yours was different. So was Nora's. You know I don't think I've ever seen anyone afraid of me as Nora was that night. Afraid of me, and weary of you. Why is that?

Lindsay: Maybe she hasn't gotten over being kidnapped by your twin brother.

Troy: No, mm mmm, there was more to it than that. So why don't you tell me what really happened between the three of you.

Lindsay: Nothing!

Troy: Nothing? So why did you try to kill me when you thought I was Colin? And why do you and Nora hate each other so much.

Lindsay: We don't hate each other.

Troy: You know what, you're right! You are absolutely right. It's more than that. You're afraid of Nora. Why?

Lindsay: I'm not afraid of Nora.

Troy: You could have fooled me.

Lindsay: It's her actually. She hates me, based on nothing.

Troy: Oh I'm sure its based on something.

Lindsay: She's had a vendetta against me for years.

Troy: Is that a fact?

Lindsay: Any chance I've ever had at happiness, she's managed to destroy. I mean even before I moved to Llanview you know she's the reason my first marriage didn't work out. Well, you knew that.

Troy: I believe you mentioned it a few hundred times.

Lindsay: And she won't let go of the delusion that I was in cahoots with Colin. If you can imagine that.

Troy: Yes, I can imagine that!

Lindsay: Oh come on. You don't mean that

Troy: You know Lindsay, they're not delusions if you really are out to get her.

Lindsay: Well that's a pretty big if.

Troy: You mentioned that Nora sets her standards high for her friends. Funny because she's always struck me as being a pretty rational human being.

Lindsay: You just don't know her well enough yet.

Troy: Why were you so desperate to get your hands on Colin's letters if you weren't in on it with him?

Lindsay: Why won't you let this go?

Troy: Because you had some kind of connection with my brother, Lindsay. I'm going to find out what it was.

Lindsay: The only connection I had to your brother is the fact that he was married to my sister. And I wasn't mixed up in any of the rest of it.

Troy: In any of what?

Lindsay: Nora's kidnapping. The way she lost her memory.

Troy: So then why is Nora so convinced that you were?

Lindsay: Colin was the one who kidnapped Nora. He held her prisoner and he's the one who injected her with the drug that erased her memory.

Troy: And you had nothing to do with it huh?

Lindsay: No I didn't.

Troy gets a call.

Troy: (answering the phone) Dr. MacIver. Uh, yeah, give him another 10cc's and keep a nurse in there to monitor him.

Lindsay has a flashback to when she injected Nora with the drug.

Troy: Yeah, if it isn't under control in 5 minutes just give me a call back.
