Todd: Step away from the baby. Look, I'm not kidding. Put the kid down now!

Cassie: Shh, shh, shh.

Blair: Todd, please, just let cassie take the baby.

Todd: You put down our baby.

Blair: It's not our baby. Our baby is dead, todd, and this baby can't replace it.

Cassie: It's ok, it's ok.

Cassie: Todd, what blair is doing is for the best.

Starr: No, it's not. Mommy, please, don't let cassie take the baby away!

Blair: Listen, starr

cassie: Starr, sweetheart, why don't you go upstairs to your room.

Starr: I don't want to.

Cassie: You know, this is something your mommy and daddy have to work out.

Starr: I'm part of this family, too!

Blair: Yes, yes, sweetheart. You are, but right now i want you to do
what cassie told you to do and that's go up to your room, ok? Can you do that?

Starr: Do i have to?

Blair: Thank you. Thank you.

Cassie: Todd

Todd: Put down the baby.

Cassie: Todd, you have planned

Todd: Put the baby down.

Cassie: A beautiful wedding. You showed everyone how much you love her.

Todd: What does that have to do with you not putting the baby down?

Cassie: Because if you really loved her, you'd see what having this
baby here is doing to her.

Blair: She , she's right. It hurts too much, todd.

Todd: Oh, but it's ok to hurt the baby?

Cassie: Shh, shh, shh.

Blair: No, I'm not trying to hurt the baby. I'm not going to put the baby out on
the streets. But until social services can find this baby a home, why can't cassie just take him?

Todd: What, you really think that's a good idea? Think about it. After
everything that this baby has been through, you think it's a good idea to
let the baby go live with some chick that just escaped from a loony bin?

Blair: Cassie did not escape from a loony bin, todd, and I'm sorry, cassie.

Cassie: It's fine. Todd, for your information, I was released from the
psychiatric hospital quite a while ago with a clean bill of health.

Todd: I'm not reassured.

Cassie: Well, I'm a lot saner than you are.

Todd: Really? Anyone who would marry kevin buchanan really is a few
dimpled chads short of a presidential election.

Cassie: All righty, I'll be sure to warn kelly.

Todd: You know, the last time kevin had a girlfriend, didn't you hold her hostage

Blair: Ok, todd, todd, todd, please, please, just stop. Stop, both of you.

Cassie: You know, blair, i'm sorry, I would really love to stay and help,
but i'm not going to stand here and take this.

Todd: Whoa, whoa, where you going with that kid?

Cassie: I am going upstairs to put this baby in his crib and then i am
leaving, alone. This is your mess.

Blair: Every time i hear that baby cry, todd, I'm reminded of the baby that we lost.

Todd: But this kid will help you get over that.

Blair: No, it won't. Please. Cassie will be a good foster mother. Just
let her take him. Please, just let him go.

Todd: Ok, fine, I'll do what i can about the kid, but it's probably going to take
a few days, maybe till -- I don't know -- new year's.

Blair: That's more than a few days, todd.

Todd: Yeah, well, you know, they said that they didn't anybody good.
That's what they said at social services. Now, you want the baby to go to somebody good, right?

Blair: Well, yeah.

Todd: Somebody that'll treat the kid like it was their own, somebody
that'll make sure nothing bad happens to the kid.

Blair: Of course I do, yes.

Todd: Somebody that'll hold the kid and say all the good, nice, parent kind of things.

Blair: And you know what , that's cassie.

Todd: No, it's not.

Blair: Yes, it is. I would trust her with my own baby. Come on, she and
andrew were approved as foster parents and that's when they , that's when they adopted river.

Todd: Yeah, well, that's because she lost her kid, so she needed a new kid,
just like you now. Now what you need is a new kid.

Blair: No, I don't.

Todd: Yes, you do.

Blair: Come on, todd, why do you keep going back to that?

Todd: Well, why can't you just love this kid like he was your own?

Blair: Because he's not! Because i can'T. This -- this isn't about me.
This is about you. You're the one that needs the baby. You're the one
that wants so much to make this baby your own.

Todd: What i'm saying is that we both need this kid.

Blair: What we need is to grieve, todd, together: you, me, and starr.
Not try to replace the baby.

Todd: That's not what i'm trying to do.

Blair: You know what -- I'm sorry, but i didn't consider how hard this
must be for you. I'm really sorry.

Todd: Don't be.

Blair: And I know why you brought the baby, I understand that, and he's
sweet and he's beautiful. But he's never going to be our baby.

Todd: You're sure?

Blair: Yeah. We need to do this, todd. We need to move on as a family, and

[baby cries]

Cassie: He's having no part of going to sleep. I think that he's hungry. Is there formula?

Todd: Yeah. Blair will take care of it.

Blair: Well -- todd, I can't.

Cassie: So what do you want me to do?

Blair: I want you to take the baby and I want you to take him home and be good to him.

Todd: You can't even say good-bye to him?

Cassie: I'll be in touch.

Cassie: Yes, sweetheart. You know that? Oh, yes, you are. Yes, you are.
So sweet.

Cassie: Yeah. So sweet. Shh, shh, shh.

Todd: No, you listen to me, ms. Social service lady, it doesn't matter
who I am. The point is that somebody's going to call you. Her name is
cassie carpenter and she's going to tell you that she's got this baby,
right, for you to take over, but there is no baby, right? She's done this before.
She's certifiable. She just got out of the cukoo clock factory in switzerland.
It's a mental institution. Look, her name is cassie carpenter. You got it?
It's spelled "car-pen-ter." I got to go. What?

Starr: Mommy told me cassie took the baby.

Todd: Well, that's because she did.

Starr: How could you let that happen?

Todd: It's all going to be all right, starr.

Starr: Do you have a plan?

Blair: Well, look what I have here three piping hot chocolates,
chocolate cookies, and "a christmas carol." Mm-hmm.

Todd: You know, I got a better idea. Why don't I go down to the video
store and see if i can't rent "evil dead 17."

Blair: Todd, wait a minute. Thank you. Thank you so much for not making me feel bad.

Todd: No problem. I really should go, you know, in case someone else gets it.

Blair: Well. You want to watch 'a christmas carol,' hemm?

Starr: No.

Blair: Wow. I kind of thought you liked scrooge.

Starr: I do. But I miss the baby. I want to go to cassie's, please?

Blair: Hmm. I'm sorry, but you can't see the baby.

Starr: But you never even let me say good-bye to him or give him his presents.

Blair: What presents?

Starr: See? I got him these presents for christmas. Please, mom. Just
let me say good bye and give him his presents.

Blair: Starr look, no matter what, he can't come back and live with us.

Starr: Ok. But just let me see him one more time that's all i'll ask for christmas.
Just please, mom, let me say good-bye. Let me give him his presents.

Blair: Ok. All right, i will take you over to cassie's, but i am not going to go inside,
so don't even ask me.

Starr: Ok. I won'T. I promise.

Todd: Shh, shh, shh. No, no, don't say anything. Shh. No, it's all right.
I'll get you out of here, get you home, yeah, where you belong. Because you're my son.
