J: I’m really nuts about you, Vicky.
V: You’re scaring me

J: I didn’t give her any choice. I wanted her out of the picture I wanted her out of the crossfire
V: It’s for real? 75 grand or get you blown away? (pauses) Don’t tell me, you used a loan shark. . . you used a loan shark. How could you get yourself in that kind of trouble? Yeah, I know. Well, there’s only one thing left to do. I’m going to give you the money. Is it 75 grand or is more? You gotta tell me now.
J: You would do that for me Vicky? You would give me the money?
V: What are you thinking of, do you think I was going to let you die? Now if it were 80 grand, I don’t know. 80 grand for a good looking guy with a sense of humor. I just think I could do better.
J: I can’t believe it
V: You have little faith.
J: That’s the thing, Vicky. I don’t have any. I know I look like it, but when I look inside, I think, when it comes right down to it, I am at the party alone.

V: Sex, it screws up the whole brain. That’s a smile.
J: I’ll meet you at the tracks at 7.
V: I’ll be the blonde with a gym bag full of Jackson’s
J: I’d say I’d owe you one, but you’d take me up on it.
V: You can count on that.

V: Jake, Jake, Jake. Don’t get dead on me!

Tape #3

stupidity.
--J&V at Tops

J:  Hi.  I am blinded by your beauty and nobility.
V:  Buzz off, Jake.
--J&V at Sassy's

J:  Vicky.
V:  What?
J:  Stay away from Carl or I'll spank you.
--J&V at Tops

J:  You know something?  I have known you ten times longer than Grant and I
still don't understand your wonderfully complex personality.
V:  That's why I'm not marrying you, Jake.
J:  Small, but perfect gift.
--Vic wondering if she and Grant will marry

V:  Ever since these threats against Grant's life, I mean, it's just been
like Alcatraz. Security guards follow me everywhere:  where I sleep, where I
eat.  It's a miracle I can even take a shower by myself.
J:  Since when has that been a problem for you?  Couldn't resist.
V:  Easy setup.
--Vic goes on the lam to Sassy's before she marries Grant

J:  You've come a long way, baby.
V:  Hey!  Don't call me "baby".
--Vic's wedding day to Grant

V:  When I'm with a guy it's just very hard for me to let someone else be
with him.  And, I suppose, there's a minuscule part of me that's jealous of
anyone who's with you, even
though we're ancient history.
J:  Yeah, well, I, uh, feel the same way about you.
--Jake telling Vic he and Paulina are engaged again

V:  You know, Jake might now have been perfect, but he never forgot my

J: Vicky, Vicky, Vicky, Vicky, Vicky
V: You know, no matter who else we loved, it was always Jake and Vicky and when you died, I just felt so alone. I just didn’t feel safe anymore.

V: You’re right, I hate it when I overreact.
(When she was trapped in the mansion by Justine, and hallucinating of Jake.)

J: Ok, you can stop being brave now, just for a minute.
. . .
J: Close your eyes. Close your eyes. I’m sure that Ryan is waiting for you in your dreams.
(When Jake is comforting Vicky after Ryan died)

V: So, you’re going to take me to that funeral?

V: And I’m going to be there the whole way!
(in the Cory living room after Ryan's funeral)

J: You’re needing me started in that playground when that bully was chasing you down and I beat him and you drug me home to Bridget and said "This was the man I was going to marry"
V: I never said that
J: Ok you can get picky with words if you want. How about that time when you bought that snazzy little black leather jacket, size 0, and you walked in the pool hall and you were going to kick the. . ., you were going to whoop the. . .sorest loser in there.
V: Ok, so I whooped em, I wooped everyone else in there, too, including 2-Ton Tommy.
J: You would have been 2 pounds of lunch meat if I hadn’t been for me..
V: Oh you’re exaggerating
J: Oh, I’m exaggerating. Ok, how about the time I helped you deliver Steven. You were glad you weren’t all alone then, right?
V: I have to get used to being alone. (kisses Jake’s cheek) Thank you.
(Right before Vicky’s first night alone in her house without Ryan)

J: I’ll tell you what you are, Vicky, You are my best friend, all right? Don’t do this to yourself. You are my best friend. Love is going to come back into your life, you watch for it.
(Another quote from after Ryan’s death)

J: Did I tell you, Vicky, that I think that you are absolutely the most beautiful, brave, brain-woman I’ve ever met?
V: Yeah. Well, not nearly enough.
. . .
J: She deserves to have a kid, she is going to be the best mother in the entire world
V: Second –
J: Second best mother in the entire world.
(After Jake finds out Paulina is pregnant)

V: Jake, will you do me a favor, would you get a life
J: I have a life, Vicky, a life that you are a very big part of since day one.
V: You’re a big part of my life, too, Jake . . .
(when Vicky was trying to prove Grant killed Ryan)

J: She is my best friend. I’ve known her my entire life. If she’s in there I just need to know that she is ok. Vicky means more to me than . . .
V: Than what? (Jake hugs her)
(Before Vicky leaves for Florida to get away from Grant)

V: You are it, McKinnon. So, come on, just promise me. Unless of course you don’t care for me as much as you say you do.
J: Don’t ever say that ok? When I thought I lost you Vicky. You know how much I care about you. (Wiping away tears)
(Again before Vicky leaves for Florida)

J: That blonde’s got me wrapped, no doubt about that. I mean we’ve been best buddies forever.
(Talking to Bridget before she collapses)

V: What do I tell Steven? He loved her very much.
J: I know.
V: He’s been with him since he was born.

V: Thanks . . .for this. I’ll never forget what you’re doing for me.
J: You know what I’ll remember most? I love the way your hair smells.

Steven: He (Kirk) hasn’t figured it out yet. Dads don’t come with the package in our family.
J: What would you say if I said I was going to be your dad? Would that be cool or what?

J: (telling the boys) A girl can be the best friend you’ll ever have. When you find one like that you can never let her go, she’s like gold, like the most valuable thing in the world.

J: You feeling a little more relaxed now
V: Thanks to you. You know you’re still my best friend in the whole world.
J: Well, I guess I should be happy that you think of me as the best of anything
V: You are.
(After Vicky came back from London and is staying at Jake’s place)

V: You were my conscience. I don’t know who to turn to now that you’re gone. I don’t know who I can rely on.
J: You ok, Vick? Cuz, you can rely on me.
V: That’s, that’s what Bridget just said.
(talking to Bridget's grave)

--Amanda's choices

V:  Do you know what would happen if you moved in with us?
J:  Yeah, we'd be happy.
V:  No.  Grant would run straight to the judge he had in his pocket that
week and he'd say
how the mother of his child is living in sin.

huckle buck.

--4th of July '96

Tape 5

J: Vicky, I’m sorry about before I just wanted you to know that I have more than newspaper ink running though my veins
V: I hate it when we fight. I really do. I hate it so much and I think I owe you an explanation. I do. You have to understand that I gave everything I am, everything I have, all my love, everything to one man, and then when Ryan was killed, it was just so hard. And the grief, it’s definitely still there, it’s better, but it’s still there. I know I need to get on with my life.
J: You do.
V: I know, it’s just the whole notion of trusting someone else. It’s just hard because now I know.
J: What is it you know?
V: Everybody leaves, everybody always leaves.
J: I’m not going anywhere, I promise.
(Hospital waiting room)

V: Are you all right, you seem little out of it?
J: I’m fine, I just forgot that you are the most beautiful woman in the world.

V: It’s you.
J: Who else keeps an eye on you everywhere you go?

V: Ouch, Ouch

V: The sticky side goes down.
J: I know.
(Jake playing doctor to Vicky’s hurt arm.)

V: I’m home
(Finding the cottage.)

V: Look! Is that heaven?
J: It looks a little bit like hell to me.
(Jake’s first reaction to the cottage.)

J: You are still the same scheming little brat you were in high school
V: That’s why you love me!
(Discussing the house)

J: You know something Vicky, you are my best friend, you have been my best friend for as long as I can remember, so that gives me every right to be a little overprotective. As a matter of fact, a tad bit lot overprotective. I want you safe and happy so I am allowed to follow you around a little.
V: A little?
J: Yes, a little. You know something, you’re lucky to have someone in your life like me.
(Michael walks in)
Donna: Pretty lucky to have someone care about you that much.
(House talk)

V: They are sure looking cozy, don’t you think?
J: Vicky, they're eating dessert, they’re not making out. Would you mind your own business?
V: Mind my own business? That’s a fine thing for you to say . . . Mr. Nosey Parker! Bridget! She loved to call you Mr. Nosey Parker because you are the most nosey person I have ever met in my entire life!
(House talk)

V: . . . You’re afraid I’m leaving you behind
J: That is so out there, Man
V: You listen to me when I tell you that is never going to happen. You are always going to be a part of my life because we are so connected. I mean all the way from when we were kids. Nothing is going to split us up and I thank god for that.
J: I just want you to be safe and happy. I want you to be happy
V: I will be. I will be. I don’t even know how to explain it more any better than I have already explained it, but if I lived in this house, I will be very, very happy
J: Girl, you crazy, you know that? I think I have to have my head examined. I really need to have my head examined. Ok, let’s do it
V: Let’s do what?
J: Let’s go find whoever owns this shack and hunt him down so you can harass him and make him sell it to you.
(Vicky jumps into Jake’s arms)
(Talking about Vicky moving on in the cottage)

(Reading the back of Bridget’s letter when she bought her the house)
V: And remember, deary, always rely on Jake!

V: Thank you.
J: For what?
V: For supporting me. I know you’re not thrilled about me and the boys living here.
J: Well, like I told you before, I just want you to be happy.
V: I am going to be happy living here, I just know it. And I’ll tell you something, this house is going to be filled with love, just the way Bridget wanted it to be.
(More house stuff)

V: My first company
J: What does that make me?
V: Family!
(Welcoming Chris into the cottage)

J: You are absolutely the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in candlelight.
(after the power outage at the cottage)

V: Jake what are you doing?
J: (swinging a bat) Call me Ghostbuster. I am going to hit a little paranormal dinger.
V: That’s not funny. I thought I heard something.
(when Vicky thinks the house is haunted, still during the blackout.)

J: Like I said, I’m a guy
V: So you keep reminding me
J: Well, sometimes it seems like you forget.
V: It’s been a long time, but I can never forget
J: You know first love is a powerful thing, it doesn’t hurt to . . . reminisce about it sometimes.
V: We’re both sure there’s nothing going on here. Right?
J: Right.
(Unpacking)

J: This will show you everything I want to say.
V: ‘Rely on Jake.’
J: Bridget said to rely on me and trust me.
V: I do, Jake, I already do.
(Jake giving Vicky the "Rely on Jake" sign)

J: Vicky, I’m not leaving until I say what I came here to say. I know I have been a little over protective lately, this thing between you and me.
V: What thing? Nothing. We’re really just friends, pure and simple
J: I don’t want you the hate me for what I’m about to say. Ryan was a wonderful guy. Ryan’s gone. He’s not coming back. I’m alive. I’m alive and I want to be a very big part of your life.
. . .
J: Alright, Vicky, I’m not Ryan, that doesn’t mean I can’t make you happy. What I’m trying to say is that I care about you. You know that, and I don’t mean that as a friend. What I want, what I need to know is if you have feelings for me.
V: I don’t think we should be having this conversation.
J: I just need to know if you have any feelings for me.
(Michael and Donna interrupt)
(Discussing feelings)

V: Jake, please don’t go. I mean, it wasn’t just you, it was me, too, I kissed you.
J: That’s right, you did, didn’t you? You kissed me back. You kissed me back. Why did you do that?
V: I don’t know why I did that. That’s what I’m trying to figure out.
J: Maybe it was just one of those automatic things. You know how you walk up to someone, you extend your hand, they reach their hand out, they shake it.
V: I don’t think so. I don’t think that’s all it was. I think there was . . . It was . . . God, why is this so hard?
J: It was a big bone-headed mistake. I’m sorry, I apologize, let’s just forget about it, Vicky, really.
V: What, we can’t just pretend this never happened?
J: I’m not saying that, it happened, and you want to know why it happened? Because of the night. Because of the night. And I look in your eyes and it makes me feel . . . well, you know how we feel. Let’s not yack about it.
V: Oh, no, we need to yack about it, because I don’t want this to be the end of us.
J: What do you mean the end of us?
V: You and me, Jake. Oh. no, I just ruined us. I just ruined us. Oh, I didn’t mean too. I really didn’t. I think probably in another place or time, things would have worked out between us, I mean let’s face it you’re kind, you’re funny, you’re exciting, you’re attractive . . .
J: That’s what I’ve been trying to tell ya.
V: So, it’s just that this life, my life. What’s wrong with me, why didn’t I see this coming?
J: You had a lot on your mind
V: Oh, I never meant to lead you on. What if I did that when I moved into your studio? It seemed like a good time at the time. It did. But now looking back I think, it’s easy to understand how friends that suddenly starting getting closer, you know, that things could be misconstrued. I’m so sorry for being completely insensitive.
J: Stop apologizing. Vicky, listen to me for a minute. I should have seen it, I mean, you’re not ready to have another man in your life. You love Ryan, and no one is going to take his place especially not me.
V: You’re right about one thing. I know I’ve been living in the past. I know I have to find a way to let Ryan go.
J: For your own sake.
V: I think that’s why I got mad at you before, because it is so hard, but I cannot loose you, too.
J: You’re not going to lose me, There is no way you’re going to lose me. (almost kiss again) I gotta go.
(After sink explosion, and they are stuck inside the bathroom)

--Amanda's choices

J:  Friends don't date.  We agree on that, right?
V:  Right.
J:  Okay, I don't want to be your friend anymore.  I'd like to go out on a
date.  Just you and me.  Do you think that would be okay?  I mean, would you
go out on a date with me?
--Jake pursuing Vicky

J:  Sweet dreams, Hudson.
--J&V first date

J:  The woman who was in my dreams was the love of my life, my soulmate and
the only reason I could not see her face in those dreams was because I
needed to find love that was deep inside of me, someplace that I had never
touched before.
V:  Jake--
J:  And I was supposed to promise her that I would be with her, take care of
her, keep her safe and happy.
--Jake telling Vicky about his dream when he had amnesia

J:  You know what?  No matter what happens, I'm never giving up.  Never.
--after Vic urges Jake to take a step back from a relationship

me, young lady.  I am real and I'm not going anywhere.
--Vicky confused about Bobby having Ryan's corneas

J:  Because I believe that's the key to your mom's heart.
--Steven giving a Jake a key

talking on J&V's date

V:  Hmmm.
J:  What?
V:  Sounds a little like someone else we know, wouldn't you say?
--before day trip to Lassiter

V:  Listen to me.  Grand theft auto.
J:  Listen to me.  Get in the car.
--J&V hot-wiring car in Lassiter

J:  There were thousands of people there that night.  And you stood out.  I
mean, you were lost in the music and the lights -- it looked like there was
a halo around you.  You were beautiful.  I mean -- I never told you this,
but I remember thinking that Mick Jagger was going to steal you from me.  I
still can't figure out why he didn't.
V:  Who says he didn't?
J:  Hmm?  What did you--  (Vicky laughs and hugs him)  You know, that was
rude.  You know that? 
V:  I'm just kidding.
(later in same scene)
V:  Well, luckily I'm not impressed by stars anymore.  Except for the ones
up there.
J:  You are even more beautiful tonight.
--in Lassiter, talking about a Rolling Stones concert they sneaked
into

V:  It's always going to be like this, isn't it?
J:  God, I hope so.
V:  I mean, whatever happens, good or bad, it is always going to be Vicky
and Jake, right?
--dancing in Lassiter

V:  I'll tell you something, if there's one thing I've learned, it's that
there are absolutely no guarantees in life.
J:  No, there are guarantees.  There are guarantees.  I guarantee you I love
you, Vicky.
V:  Of course you love me.  I'm your best friend.
J:  I'm not talking about as a friend.  I think you know that.
V:  But...
J:  But what?  Look at me.  I love you, Vicky.  I love you.  That feels so
incredible for me to say that.  Don't be afraid of that. 
V:  I'm not afraid.  I'm not.  I love you, too, but...
J:  But...
(long pause)
V:  I can't talk about this right now. (gets up and sits on swing) Would you
push me? Jake?  Would you just push me?
(Jake gets up and pushes Vicky)
V:  Push me so high that the whole world just becomes a blur and the stars
are so close I can just grab them.
J:  Do you remember that movie where Jimmy Stewart said that he'd lasso the
moon for Donna Reed?  I'd do that for you, Vicky.
--J&V in Lassiter

J:  You know, I know that there is no amount of money in the world or
nothing you want more than the love that you had with Ryan, and I could give
you that if you just give me a chance.
(later in same scene)
J:  You know, I don't know if I... if I could ever take away your pain or
your loneliness, but I'd like to try.
(Jake gets down on his knee)
J:  Vicky, I am so full of love and I'd like to give all of it to you.  I
love you.  I always have.  Will you... will you...
--Jake's proposal

J:  You know something?  My heart belongs to you.  That's where my heart
belongs.  My heart belongs to the most beautiful woman that ever hot-wired a
car.  My heart belongs to the most incredible mother of two children that I
have ever met.  I got some bad news for you.  You're not going to have to
look too far, because I'm always going to be right
here by your side.
V:  I love you so much.
--trip to Lassiter

V:  I just don't have any answers.  Can't make any promises.
J:  It's okay.  I do.
V:  What... what is it?  There's something about you.  It... I mean, somehow
you seem sort of --
J:  Grownup?
V:  Well, I don't know if I'd go that far, but, yeah, something like that.
J:  I just figured out that I don't need to run around and make a lot of
noise.  I'm right. You're going to end up coming to me.  You know me.  I'm
the guy who always ends up getting what he wants.
--Jake dropping Vic off at the cottage after they return from
Lassiter

V:  You know something, Jake?  Lassiter is not home.  You know?  Home is
right here. Home is sitting around with somebody, talking about your stuff,
laughing about your stuff, and doing it with somebody that really knows you.
I mean, who really knows you, you know?  You are my home.
J:  I'm glad we went. (pulls out key from around his neck) Besides, I still
have this.  It's the key to your heart and in my heart, I know that you're
coming to me in the end.
(they kiss)
J:  Goodnight, Vicky.  Goodnight.
V:  Goodnight.

J:  In time.  In time.
--in front of cottage after trip to Lassiter

J:  I thought those flowers were beautiful until I saw your face.
--day after J&V kissed on her porch

J:  When we kissed, that was like magic.  I mean, it was exactly what I'd
thought it would be.  I should've done that a long time ago.  What?  You
think that's wrong?  That I should have asked permission?  I have one more
thing to say.  Listen to me.  I know this sounds, like, really crazy, but...
the earth moved, you know?  I mean, it just did. 
--day after J&V kissed on her porch

J:  Do I like being your best friend?  Hell, yes.  Do I think that's enough
for me?  Hell, no. I want everything, Vicky, and I want it with you.
--day after J&V kissed on her porch

V:  I do love you, Jake.  I love you like I love my kids, you know?  It's
forever and unconditional.  Huge love.

J:  Listen to me, man.  I gotta do this.  I love that woman.  I mean, I love
her a million times more than there are bulbs on that tree.
--Jake and Chris "liberating" the Xmas tree in Lassiter

J:  You know what I did this for?  I wanted you to know that there's another
man out there that loves you and who's shared a lifetime with you.
V:  You think I don't know that?
J:  I don't know, Vic.  I mean, sometimes I think that maybe you forgot.
V:  No.  Never.  You are my touchstone, Jake, always.
--J&V talking about the tree he "liberated"

S:  Who do you think brought it?
V:  Oh, I don't know.  I think some white knight, very brave knight, just
came up on a big, gorgeous flat-bed.
--Steven asking Vicky who she thinks brought the tree

J:  Oh!
V:  Stop it.  I've only been gone for five minutes.
J:  Felt like an hour.
V:  So, do you want your present?
J:  Oh, you shouldn't have.  I'm not really up for it.
V:  You always open a present on Christmas Eve.
J:  Oh, a yo-yo.  Cool.
V:  Yeah, I just went to the nurse, told her I needed something for a little
boy.  I just didn't tell her that the little boy was living in a grown man's
body.
J:  Cheek.
V:  What?
J:  Cheek.
V:  Oh, cheek.
(Jake kisses her cheek)
--Jake in the hospital after his "mugging"

J:  Would you do me a favor?
V:  Hmmm?
J: Never stop touching me.
--Vic cleaning behind Jake's ear after his "mugging"

V:  You're my rock, McKinnon.
        --Vicky calling Jake when she was discovered alive.
