All language subtitles for The Colbys S2 E6 The Gala.eng

Say hello to Mrs.
Miles Colby, Mom.

Miles and I were married a half an hour
ago at the "Wee Chapel On The Strip."

Well, Sable, looks as though
you and I are family now.

Announcer: Last
time, on "The Colbys"...

You hurt him, and
you'll answer to me.

And you won't find me
charming. Not in the least.

Sweetheart, I'm
sorry about last night.

Losing my temper with Miles...

You've said that before.

Fallon: And every time
you tangle with him...

Sweetheart, I'm sorry.

Man: Come on, Nikolai,
something for the front page!

How do you enjoy Los Angeles?

- Ham.
- Do you think they like me?

Don't worry, you've got
them completely fooled.

What about my IMOS
Project? Thumbs up or down?

Congratulations, Jason.

Ladies and gentlemen, you've
been hearing the rumors for years,

and I leaked a
few of them myself.

But this morning, Senator
Cassidy brought me the good word.

IMOS is in business.

What is that fragrance?

- Night Jasmine.
- It's beautiful.

I never lived in
California before.

I think I'm going to like it.

He's here...

Cash Cassidy, and
he's working for Daddy.

Oh Conny, I'm so
afraid I'm going to slip...

Say something.

God, I don't know what I'll
do if he ever finds out the truth.

- Jason?
- Right here, darling.

Go back to sleep.

You're up so early.

I've got a call into Washington
on the IMOS Project.

- The new space satellite.
- That's it.

Washington's behind
in a lot of things,

not time zones.

It's still dark out. I
can see the stars.

I'm going to put another
one up there. Just for you.

I'll call you later.

What do you think?

I think whoever invented
clothes ought to be shot.

You can't expect me to
walk around half naked.

Who said anything about half?

Is that all you
ever think about?

It's the only way to have
all those kids we planned on.

"All those kids"?

Just how many are
we planning to have?

Well, at least one for
every day of the week.

So we'd better get started.

Miles... the way that you talk,

I'd think that we were
competing with Jeff and Fallon.

Hey, come on. I'm
not competing with Jeff.

And I'm not
competing with Fallon.

Now, wait a minute,
Channing, I love you.

Fallon is... she's
part of my past.

And your present, as long as she's
living under the same roof with us.

She's Jeff's wife now.

If you're worried about
Fallon, you're wasting your time.

You've got nothing to
be jealous of, believe me.

You'd realize that if only
you'd get to know her.

If I have nothing
to worry about...

then what is this
doing in your wallet?

Uh...

I just never got around
to getting rid of it, that's all.

Then you won't be
needing it anymore, will you?

Say goodbye to
your past, darling.

"Dearest Monica,

I couldn't sleep a wink last
night after your phone call.

Life is so full of surprises...

Some miraculous, some painful.

Since being here in the Orient,
I've come to believe that strongly.

But I can't go into that now.

Please, Monica, you must
listen to your Aunt Conny.

What happened between you

and Senator
Cassidy is our secret.

Arthur Cates took care
of everything years ago.

It's over. Hold
onto that, please?

It's over."

Oh, Conny.

I hope you're right.

Would you go over there

and find out if
they're all right?

Frankie, I am sorry
about the racket.

It's the preparations
for the gala tonight.

I do hope we didn't wake you.

Oh, I've been up
for hours, Sable.

Looks like you have everything
under control, as usual.

There's so much to be done. If I
don't do it myself, well, who is there?

John, would you
please phone David

and ask him when exactly
the flowers will arrive?

Yes, ma'am.

I'm looking forward
to the opening tonight.

It's all over the papers...
Your latest gift to Los Angeles,

- the Colby Dance Theatre.
- Well, it is exciting.

But the biggest coup
was getting the Russians

to let us have Nikolai Rostov

as our guest dancer
for the first season.

This is something you
can be really proud of.

I do hope so.

All need cleaning.

But the arts are so expensive,
which is why I've invited the money

to support my
little... dream tonight.

Our prospective patrons. I
want everything to be perfect.

Anything I can do to help?

Just be your usual,
captivating self.

You know, mix and mingle.

I could help with the Russians.

I might know some of the
people from the Soviet consulate.

Of course. From
your days when...

Was he your second
husband, the diplomat?

Peter Hamilton. He
was posted to Moscow.

My Russian's a little rusty,

but I'd be happy
to play interpreter.

Oh, it's very sweet
of you, Frankie,

but I think I can manage
very well by myself.

I don't really
trust interpreters.

Something always seems
to get lost in the translation.

You know... husband
here, husband there.

Nah, nothing.

Nothing here, either.

All right, let's go back
to that $2,500 deposit

that Mahoney made
in his wife's name.

Now, if we can trace that
bribe money to Zach Powers,

we could nail him to that.

I've already checked
with Mahoney's bank.

He made the deposit in cash.

$2,500 of untraceable
cash. Another dead end.

It's not a dead end. I'd say
it's more or less a detour,

but not a dead end.

You're not giving
up on me, are you?

I'm sorry.

No, it's just...

It's nothing that a good
night's sleep can't cure.

You too?

I thought I was the only
one not sleeping lately.

Too many things
on my mind, I guess.

It's strange.

You make choices in your life,

and the years pass and
you think it's all behind you.

And then you
realize it's still there.

It's been there all along.

Monica, if you need
someone to talk to...

I'm tempted,

but I have to deal with
this one on my own.

Well, thanks for playing
"big brother," though.

It helps.

Fallon: It's going to be
a lovely party tonight.

Sable really knows
how to do these things.

Well, I'm not at all
sure how to do this.

Do what?

Well, I was going
to propose a toast

to newfound
everlasting friendship,

but I think it's a
little much, I guess.

Friendship takes
some time to develop.

But... here's to a beginning.

Believe me, I
know what it's like

to come into this
family a stranger,

afraid that one word,
one dangling participle,

could set family
relationships back 10 years.

Mr. Colby... Jason...

He scares me a little bit,

but I think
underneath he's okay.

Sable, on the other
hand... Oh, yes. Sable.

Don't let her intimidate
you. Stand up to her.

She may not like you for
it, but she'll respect you.

And if you're lucky, she
may even keep her distance.

Welcome to The Colbys.

And to the new Colby.

I can't get over how wonderful
you look, considering...

well, considering
that you're pregnant.

They say that's when a woman is
supposed to look the most beautiful.

Do you believe that?

I mean, first you start
losing your figure, and then...

The stretch marks.
I know, I know.

It worried me when
I was carrying L.B.

This time, I'm determined
to enjoy this pregnancy.

God willing.

You're worried, aren't you?

Oh, just the standard,

mother-to-be worries.

Until the baby's
born safe and sound,

until you know for sure
everything's all right...

Well, I have to run now.
Doctor's appointment.

Oh God, I hope
there's nothing wrong...

I mean, with the baby. No
complications or anything?

Oh, it's just routine.
I'll see you later. Bye.

Bye.

It's all right,
Channing. It's all right.

I want my mommy.

Lucas Carter: Honey, I'm sorry,

but your mother's dead.

Sweetie, you've
got a baby brother...

I don't want a baby brother, I
want my mommy! He killed her!

The baby killed my mommy!

I've got no quarrel
with the cost-estimate.

We're not going to get this
thing into space for lunch money.

But I still want to see
those plans on my desk

before I leave for
Washington. Okay.

Jason, I just got off the phone
with the boys back home.

We fly to Washington
on the 17th.

You better alert Monica.
She'll be coming with us.

Sure thing.

Jason, they are willing

to listen to your objections
about the Russians.

I'll bet.

Your pals on the Hill can't
wait to get me back there.

They figure if they pound on the
table hard enough, I'll buckle under.

Look, involving the Soviets
in IMOS was not my idea.

But that's not what's
bothering you, is it?

The Russians bother me.
Your last name bothers me more.

I'm not my father!

I was a first-term senator
when you two went head to head.

Now we're going to have to
work together on this project,

so why don't you get rid of
that chip on your shoulder?

Hold it. Right there.

You see this?

You know how many years
have gone into that already?

I started putting IMOS together
before you were even elected.

This space program is
the biggest private sector,

multi-national project
ever attempted.

$7 billion.

That's not tax
dollars to boondoggle,

that's private money.
People's savings.

Now you want to
work with me? Fine.

But your dad damn
near drowned me once.

You try that on IMOS,
I'll have your guts.

Okay, Jason, you
make your speeches,

but then listen to theirs.
That's all I'm asking.

- Monica?
- Excuse me.

- Not this time.
- Please, Cash. I have work to do.

We both do. And we
have to work together.

Can't we at least be friends?

After what happened to
us, you want to be friends?

If I have to, I'll
work with you.

But that's as far as it goes.

I know that isn't
true, and so do you.

I know you too well. I remember
the way your mind works.

And your heart.

A lot's changed since
then... including me.

We're all finished,
Cash. It's over.

All we have in common
now, is business.

Let's keep it that way.

You're right. You have changed.

Eight years ago,
you had a heart.

Eight years ago, I was a fool.

Not anymore. Now,
please, leave me alone.

Mrs. Langdon? Well,
when did she call?

No, no, I'll have to get
back to her as soon as I can.

- I gotta talk to you, Dad.
- But can't it wait?

I've got to call Jorgensen
on this computer program.

Before you call.
I just got a tip.

Someone is buying
into Ohnishy Electronics.

Our microchip supplier?
Buying in heavily.

A takeover bid.

Colby Aerospace starts
beefing up for IMOS,

and somebody wants
a piece of the pie.

Before they get too hungry,
you'd better fly up to Silicon Valley

- and check it out.
- I'm on my way.

If somebody's trying to
control one of my suppliers,

I want to know
it... Especially who.

Another $30 million?

All right, buy.

I want every share I can get.

Yes.

Why this meeting, Zach?

We'll be seeing each other
at the gala tonight anyway.

Sabella,

you're negotiating
a very delicate,

very important
divorce settlement.

I'm not sure it's wise

that Jason sees the
two of us together...

Anywhere, let
alone his own house.

Nonsense.

It's none of his business
whom I see or where.

Besides, I'm seeing my
lawyer later this afternoon,

and he assures me that
everything's all but settled.

Oh, good. Good.

Including a share of
Colby Enterprises, I hope.

Of course. All
strictly A-class stock.

Now what?

Sabella, you must insist

on class C stock, not class A.

Don't be ridiculous. A is always
better than C in everything.

"C" for "Colby," my love.

A special class of family stock.

- Oh.
- Yes.

You must have that.

It's the only thing that will
guarantee you a seat on the board.

And once you get yourself
and your children on the board,

you can out-vote Jason.

But Monica's
already on the board.

- Jason would never agree...
- Make him agree.

Find a way.

If you're clever enough,

you can see to it
that Colby Enterprises

will no longer be
a one-man show.

More like a "mom-and-pop
store," you mean.

A sweet little family business?

If you play your
cards right, yes.

Isn't democracy wonderful?

I have told you to
reach for the stars!

Instead, your head
is in the clouds.

You're not concentrating.

10 minutes.

You know, Sacha,

you're making my job
with the press very difficult.

Nikolai is here to
rehearse. To dance,

not to smile for photographers.

Nikolai? They want
an interview with you.

That's nonsense.
My career is finished,

and I don't need to
be reminded of that.

Oh, come on, Sacha.

You were one of the legends
before you injured your knee.

Your modesty makes
my work twice as hard.

Well, I don't wish to make
things difficult for you.

There's a reporter from
"Dance Life" waiting downstairs,

begging for an
interview. Do it for me.

Well, perhaps a few minutes.

For you.

Clever girl.

- What is this?
- Good old American
milkshakes.

- Chocolate or vanilla?
- Chocolate.

Good?

I can think of only one
thing more delicious.

A kiss.

Your kiss.

What's Russian for "blarney"?

"Blarney"?

Never mind. Nikolai, I...

Kolya. Call me Kolya.

Kolya.

Are you coming to my mother's
gala after the opening tonight?

Only if you're
going to be there.

Of course I'll be there.

But if the great Nikolai Rostov

is too important to
attend the gala, then...

Uh, my sister and I will be
at your little party, Miss Colby.

After all, the press will be
there, and that is all that matters.

This is unfit for
human consumption.

Now, if you'll please leave.

I have work to do.

Family-class stock?
There is no way

Jason will give in to that.

Then find a way.

Sable, when you brought
false charges against Jason,

you lost your leverage. You
gave him the upper hand.

- Unless...
- What?

Just how anxious is
he to marry Francesca?

He's already left
the gate, Arthur.

He's in the home stretch.

Then we can slow
him down to a walk,

by dragging our feet
on the settlement.

The longer it takes
to file for the divorce,

the longer he's forced to wait.

A quick divorce, in exchange
for the class C stock.

Tit for tat, so to speak.

Start dragging
your feet, Arthur.

I want that seat on the board.

Warren Hawthorne... he's the
ranking committee member on this...

He'll be in San Francisco today,

on your way back
from the junket.

And you want to know
what will be on our agenda

for the meeting in
Washington on the 17th.

Yeah. You and Cash should
fly up and meet with him.

Make sure there
are no surprises.

Daddy, I don't
need Cash with me.

Well, of course you do.

He knows Hawthorn.
That's his job with us.

Not with Cassidy, please.

I'm not crazy about
working with him either,

but he's Washington's
choice for the job.

You're very loyal.

This has nothing
to do with loyalty.

Oh? What, then? Something else?

Something happened when
you knew him in Washington?

It's not important.

That's about the time
I was suing his father.

- Did he give you a hard time?
- Daddy, please.

Monica, I'm not asking
you to marry the man.

Just fly up to San
Francisco with him

and make sure our
interests are covered.

Now that's an order.

Yes, sir.

Sable?

In here, Jason.

Henderson said that you...

you wanted to see me.

Yes, well you've done it again.

- Done what?
- Hurt Miles' feelings.

First that lavish gift to
Jeff and Fallon's new baby.

That trust fund's got
nothing to do with Miles.

Oh, I know that, but does he?

And then, you make
Monica a vice president

and put her on the board.

Oh darling, would you mind?
This dress is impossible.

I just gave him the whole
damn aerospace division.

I'm sorry, he's too unstable.

Now he's jumped into
another hasty marriage...

Well, this marriage could
be just what he needs.

Darling, please, show
him you believe in him.

Make him an officer
too. Put him on the board.

Not before he's settled down.

Let's see if he's serious
about this marriage.

- Started a family,
you mean?
- Well, yes.

Some sign that
he's... taking hold.

Then we're in perfect agreement.

You know, I'm sure that Miles
is just as keen to have a child

as... as we were, when
we were first married.

Well, it's not just a family...

Darling, would you mind?

Do you remember
how excited you were,

when I first told you
that I was pregnant?

Oh, you were so protective.
You were so gentle.

And then when you found
out that it was twins, you said,

"Naturally. Our
love is too great

to only produce
one child at a time."

- Oh, Jason...
- Yes?

Well, ah... Frankie's
waiting for me.

Come in.

Good, the color is perfect.

- For what?
- For your eyes,
and that dress.

I thought you'd like
to wear these tonight.

Oh, Sable, they're beautiful.

But what will I do with this?

Channing: From Miles.

Oh...!

Oh, it's absolutely stunning!

Oh, he'd better be
careful or he'll spoil you.

Oh, he called them "a gift
of love." Isn't that sweet?

"A gift of love"?

You'd better repay
him, don't you think?

How?

What's the greatest gift that
a woman can give a man?

A child.

A child?

I happen to know it's what
he wants, more than anything.

There'll be plenty
of time for that later.

I'm not ready now, thank you.

Then get ready, Channing.

You make that sound
like a royal command.

Yes, well... you
are royalty now.

You're Cinderella, my dear.

And if you want a happy ending,

not Jeff and Fallon
winding up with the kingdom,

I suggest you get busy.

Start a family. Now.

That's a decision I'll
make, Sable, not you.

If and when I decide to
have a baby, I'll let you know.

Now if you'll excuse me,
I'd like to finish dressing...

my way?

There's Santa Barbara.

We'll be landing soon.

Mother will be upset that I missed
the opening night performance,

but at least we'll be
back in time for our gala.

Monica, I want to talk to you...

I thought the meeting with the
congressman went very well.

He seemed reasonable.

I wish you were.

Monica, it's been eight years,

and I still don't know
why you ran out on me.

Cash, please!

One moment we were
in love with one another,

and the next you were gone. Why?

Do you really think it
could have worked?

A married senator
and a college girl?

Cash, I had a life ahead of me,

and you had a career.

A public career.

I didn't give a damn
about the career.

When you left, you
took my heart with you.

That's why I lost
my bid for reelection!

I just didn't care!

Well, you can't
blame me for that!

That happened
years after I left.

What do you think
I'm trying to tell you?

Even after eight
years, I still love you.

A day hasn't gone by

that I didn't wonder
what you were doing.

What you were feeling.

Whether you remembered.

If you cared.

I used to look into
those eyes, and melt.

Do anything for you. Forget
everything, everybody.

Not this time, Cash.
This time, I'm not giving in.

But everything's different
now! Everything's changed.

Everything?

You were married then,
and you're still married.

That hasn't changed, has it?

We have to dress for the gala.

The limo will be
waiting when we land.

Yes, it was a marvelous
performance, wasn't it?

I knew that it was something
you would enjoy, and...

would enjoy supporting.

Kolya: Okay, I have tried
your American dancing.

Now try this.

Ready? As we said.

Hey!

Careful, my brother... Sacha.

Shame if he spilled his drink

over his new American tuxedo.

What was all that about?

For a former dancer,

Sacha can be rather clumsy.

Miles, the music's stopped.

It was just a pause,

- to let us catch our breath.
- And to change partners.

You don't mind, Fallon, do you?

Not at all. Thanks, Miles.

Come on, don't
make me lead, darling.

I'm accused of that
far too often as it is.

You're still in love
with her, aren't you?

We were just dancing, Mother.

No. She was just dancing,
you were making love.

Oh, darling.

She's happily married to Jeff.

She's going to have his baby.

You must accept that.

Why shouldn't I? I'm
happily married too.

Are you?

I love Channing.
With all my heart.

Then prove it.

Make the commitment.

Have a family.

Why? To prove I love Channing,

or to please Dad?
Give him another heir?

To please yourself.

To give yourself
something to hold onto.

Something that's truly
yours for a change.

Something that no one
can take away from you.

Did I tell you how
beautiful you look tonight?

Yes, but I can't
remember whether it was

before or after Sable asked
you to her room to zip her up.

You must have
known she'd tell me.

Look, you said you
wanted to talk to me.

Let's not waste it
on Sable's zipper.

Look around you.
What do you see?

- A successful party?
- Sable's successful party.

Jason, I need to be useful.

Not just in your arms, but
in your life. Your business.

What are you talking about?

The IMOS Project.

My experience in
diplomatic circles

could make me an
excellent chief of protocol.

Frankie... I need
you by me as my wife.

What do I do in the meantime?

Sable runs everything,
and she's good at it.

Where does that leave me?

- Look, this isn't the time to...
- Then when is?

I tried to call you all day
today, but you were too busy.

Damn it, Jason,

when are you ever going
to take me seriously?

Lady...

I take you very
seriously. I always have.

The day I don't, you
can file for divorce.

We're not even married yet.

Certainly sounds
like we are, doesn't it?

Look, let me think
about your protocol idea.

Meantime, how about a truce?

- How about a dance?
- Okay.

No.

Here.

- Miles: Mm-mmm.
- Mm.

You think we'll be dancing
like this 50 years from now?

Mm, dancing and making love.

Both of which you
do very well, sir.

Oh, that's easy with
a partner like you.

Yeah, we'll be dancing like this
on our 50th wedding anniversary,

except, of course, we'll have
our grandchildren tugging at us.

Grandchildren?

Of course. Dozens of them.

From our seven kids, remember?

One for each day of the week?

I thought we were
talking about making love,

not having children.

One thing leads to
the other, doesn't it?

No, not always, Miles.

Not unless you've
talked to your mother.

What's wrong with
planning a family?

Because I'm not the
one that's planning it.

You are. You and
the rest of the Colbys!

Hey, Channing!

Leave me alone! All of you!

Channing? Open this door.

Channing!

What is going on with you?

You tell me!

Obviously I'm not
good enough for you

except as a baby maker!

If you don't want
to have children,

why the hell did you marry me?

Because I love you!
Not to have kids!

What is wrong with kids?

I want sons, and daughters!

And by God I'm gonna have them.

Not by me, you're not.

Miles... damn it,
don't you understand?

I can't have a baby!

The doctors have told me
I can't ever have children!

I'm barren!

Single malt Scotch, please.

- Yes, sir, Mr. Colby.
- A real man's drink.

Jason Colby. A man of no frills,

no nonsense, and no forgiveness.

Arthur.

A lawyer with a
guilty conscience.

Only on weekends.

Sable invited me, Jason.
I hope you don't mind.

It's her party. You're
her lawyer, not mine.

I have to make a
living too, Jason.

Helping my wife declare
my sister incompetent

isn't just making a living, it's
damn near making a killing.

Conny used to be your client.

Well, that's all
behind us now, Jason.

Behind you, maybe.

You're right. I
don't forgive easily.

Counselor, you play straight
in this divorce settlement,

or you'll find out just
how unforgiving I can be.

I just file the papers, Jason.

Sable has a mind of her own,
and when she makes it up,

well... well, let's just say,

it takes a better man than I am

to talk her out of it.

- Kolya...
- Shh.

But I want to tell
you how I feel.

Your eyes tell me,
just as mine tell you.

I can feel your heart.

Kolya: I thought it was yours.

Bliss...

Sounds like music
when you say it.

What does it mean?

- It means...
- Shh.

I think I know.

- Zach.
- Ah, Jason.

I didn't know you were
such an expert at the tango.

Oh yes. Yes, I
know all the steps.

Including the sidesteps.

Well, it's easy, when
you have the right partner.

All this time I thought
you were a loner.

Only in business.

There, I am very particular
about whom I crawl in bed with.

Oh, in that case, shouldn't you be
dancing to "The Japanese Sandman"?

I don't think I know that one.

Hum a few bars.

I think it goes like this.

Miles took a little run up
to the Silicon Valley today.

Looks like you're branching
out. Getting into electronics, huh?

Ohnishy Electronics?

Just dabbling, nothing big.

Dabbling to the
tune of $60 million,

or moving in on me?

Moving in on...? Oh, not at all,

not at all. I'm a great
fan of yours, Jason.

You've got the Midas touch...

and the IMOS Project may be
your most exciting venture yet.

I just want to share
your success, that's all.

That's fine with me, so
long as it's a minority share.

Minority?

At 4:15 this afternoon,

I bought control of
Ohnishy Electronics.

To your success, Zach.
Your limited success.

Miles: Russia may
have Nikolai Rostov,

but China has... Prima Panda!

This evening is dedicated

to the most beautiful
mother-to-be in the land.

A gift for your baby.

Thank you, Miles.

Jeff!

I thought I told you

to stay away from
my wife and my baby!

What's the matter, brother?

You got the girl.

Miles: You got the baby.

You even got the old man.

Can't I just be...
a loving uncle?

I said, stay away.

- Enough.
- Jeff! Miles! Please!

Oh yeah, I thought the
fun would never start!

No!

It never ended for us, Monica.

You've been
afraid to stand still...

Afraid it would
catch up with you.

Well, it has. I have.

Please, let go of me.

Monica, why didn't you
love me enough to trust me?

Trust you? Trust you with what?

What are you...?

- Oh, God!
- Monica!

I don't trust you either.

I don't take kindly
to a married man

making a play for my daughter.

Stay out of this. It's
none of your business.

My family is my business.

If I ever see you
touch her again,

you won't be able to run
fast enough or far enough.

If you don't believe me, boy,

you ask your father
what it's like to cross me.

Oh, Arthur!

Monica, what is it?
What's the matter?

Arthur, he's here.
Senator Cassidy.

Yes, I know. I saw him.

He was... You didn't
tell him, did you?

- He doesn't know, does he?
- Monica...

as your Aunt Constance's
lawyer, I swore

to keep that
information confidential,

and I've never
divulged it to a soul.

I assure you, Senator Cassidy

will never discover it from me.

God help me, I don't
know what I'd do

if Cash ever found
out I had his child.
