At Troy's
Troy is getting ready to go to The Palace for Nora and Sam's celebration dinner. The phone rings.
Troy: Hello
Nora: Troy hi! It's Nora. I'm sorry to bother you. I just want to call and let you know Sam called me, he's running little late, so I didn't want you to go to the Palace Restaurant and you know, wait there wondering where we were.
Troy: Oh okay. Well hey thanks for the call, that was very thoughtful of you. But listen I'm going to head over to the Palace anyway and have a drink. Why don't I swing by and pick you up. You can join me. We'll wait for Sam over there. We can kick off Matthew's recovery celebration in style.
Nora: Ah, well, okay.
Troy: Sounds good. Oh by the way I received a medical journal in the mail today. There was an article in there about the memory recovery treatment.
Nora: Troy, I thought we had talked about this.
Troy: Yeah I know, I know. I just wanted to keep you up to date. You see according to the article with these new advances, the chances of you regaining your memory have gotten much better.
Nora: Troy, thank you very much, but I have Matthew and I have Sam and we're planning on making a whole slew of new memories. So how can I say that isn't enough?
Troy: You're right. You can't. In fact that sounds like the best revenge against Lindsay that I can think of. I'll see you soon.
Someone knocks at the door.
Troy: Hold on!
Lindsay: Okay, I came running. Now you better explain that message you left for me, something about it being a matter of life and death.
Troy: (leaning on the door) Good I got your attention.
Lindsay: (walking into the loft) Yes you did. Now would you mind buttoning your shirt, otherwise I can't think.
Troy: Lindsay please come on in. Make yourself at home.
Lindsay: I don't know what could be so important that . . . Oh no! This about Nora, isn't it?
Troy: This may be a surprise to you, but not everything has to do with Nora.
Lindsay: Please, you have your brother's face and your brother's obsession.
Troy: I'm my brother's identical twin. End of story.
Lindsay: You know the last time I saw you, you were accusing me of being responsible for Nora losing her memory.
Troy: Yeah, look about that . . .
Lindsay: Humph, a matter of life or death my foot! This is all about Nora.
Troy: You finished?
Lindsay: My daughter needs me right now. She's taking off for NY. If you'll excuse me.
Troy: Look, I don't want to take you away from your family. I just wanted to apologize, that's all.
Lindsay: For what?
Troy: For suggesting that you were the one who gave Nora that memory drug.
Lindsay: You did more than just suggest that Troy.
Troy: You're right, I did. And I shouldn't have. Please accept my apologies.
Lindsay: Is this some kind of trick?
Troy: Not at all.
Lindsay: So tell me again why you're apologizing?
Troy: Because I was wrong, and because I need your help.
Lindsay: With Nora?
Troy: Why do you keep saying that?
Lindsay: Well, beause I saw the way you looked at her in the hospital. You were practically all over yourself.
Troy: You know if you would just listen for once.
Lindsay: I don't have to. I already know the story. I heard it from Hank, Bo, Colin. When Sam and I were married, he talked about her constantly. He was convinced that Nora was his soulmate. (Troy is looking at her) Why are you looking at me like that?
Troy: Because it's pretty obvious to me that you're the one obsessed with Nora.
Lindsay: I am not obsessed with Nora.
Troy: If you say so.
Lindsay: The entire time Sam and I were married he was in love with her. How do you think that was for me?
Troy: I'm sure that couldn't have been easy for you.
Lindsay: I have been compared to her over and over and I have never once measured up.
Troy: Look Lindsay I didn't call you to talk about Nora. I don't have time to get involved with anyone, much less a woman who's in love with someone else.
Lindsay: Oh, so Nora's in love with Sam again?
Troy: I don't know, and it's none of my business.
Lindsay: But that's what you think?
Troy: Can we focus here for a second?
Lindsay: What do you want from me?
Troy: I'd like to talk to you about my clinic. The hospital board told me that you loaned your gallery for some of their benefits. I was hoping that maybe you could help me plan a fundraiser.
Lindsay: Yeah sure. Fine. Whatever you want.
Troy: Well that was easy. Thank you.
Lindsay: Can we just get back to the Sam and Nora thing. I mean is there something going on that, that I don't know about?
Troy: I wasn't saying anything about Nora and Sam's relationship.
Lindsay: But you said there was a relationship.
Troy: They have a child together, of course there's a relationship.
Lindsay: So what! Sam and I have two children together.
Troy: Good, so then you can understand. Besides Matthew was pretty sick recently.
Lindsay: But he's better now, right?
Troy: Yes, thankfully.
Lindsay: And they're still spending time together.
Troy: I don't know. I guess Matthew's scare brought them closer together, don't you think?
Lindsay: I don't know what to think. I mean what is it about her? She murders your brother, of course I'm the one that gets blamed for it. And during the trial I made some huge sacrifices for my family, yet Nora's still a hero in Sam's eyes.
Troy: Well that's you're point of view.
Lindsay: No it's the truth.
Troy: In any case, I guess it just goes to show how strong the bond is between the two of them.
Lindsay: Not necessarily.
Troy: What do you mean not necessarily?
Lindsay: Well there was a time right after the trial that Sam and I started to get close again. I moved into his house. The kids were living there too.
Troy: I'm sure it must have been just like the Brady Bunch.
Lindsay: It was a really special time. And then Nora decided that she was interested in Sam again.
Troy: And she drove Will out of town then?
Lindsay: No, Jessica Buchanan did that. But to top it all off, Jen fell in love with Cristian Vega.
Troy: And that was Nora's fault?
Lindsay: No, but it wasn't my fault either. But of course Sam blamed me for that too . . . What?
Troy: You're in love with Sam, aren't you?
Lindsay: Where did you get that? I'm just saying that she doesn't deserve him, that's all . . . You know what, I really have to go now. This time I mean it.
Troy: Well, well wait a minute. We didn't talk about the fundraiser.
Lindsay: I told you I would do it. I just need you to call me for some details.
Troy: I can give you the details right now.
Lindsay: Well I can't do it right now. I've got a meeting at the Palace.
Troy: The Palace?!
Lindsay: Yeah, unfortunately it's the only half way decent place in Llanview to do business. Call me with those details. (She leaves)
Troy: And fortunately it's the only place in Llanview to celebrate the recovery of a little boy.
At Nora's
Matthew wanted to know when Nora and Sam were getting married. She explained to him that his parents would be talking about all of their future that night. Keri begins to quiz Nora on her feelings for Sam, and agrees to babysit Matthew after Mary Ann leaves.
Keri: The important thing is that you spend time with Sam.
Nora: Alright, if I'm going to be late I'll call you.
Keri: And I'll tell you not to worry.
Nora: How do I look? Do I look okay?
Keri: Do you have to ask?
Nora: Yes, of course I have to. That's why I'm asking. (The doorbell rings.)
Nora: Oh my God, Troy's here!
Keri: Ah, do you want me to stay?
Nora: No I'm fine, really sweetie. I have no reason to be uncomfortable around him, especially not in my own home. Not now.
Keri: Alright, well, have fun. (leaves)
Nora: Thanks. (opening the door for Troy) Hello there! Right on time.
Troy: WOW! Don't you look beautiful! (Nora appears pleased by his response.)
