Clay Fallmont : Sammy Jo, you should have told me you were coming by.
Sammy Jo Dean Carrington : Why? So you could spend the day thinking up something ugly to say like you did at the club last night?
Clay Fallmont : Look, I...
Sammy Jo Dean Carrington : How could you do that? Steven and I were just dancing.
Clay Fallmont : You weren't just dancing with him, you were dancing with what the two of you once had together.
Sammy Jo Dean Carrington : That's not true.
Clay Fallmont : Isn't it? Look, the only thing I've got against Steven is your fantasy of him. He can't give you what you need, face it.
Sammy Jo Dean Carrington : Really? And you can?
Clay Fallmont : I can look at you and see you for the woman you really are.
Sammy Jo Dean Carrington : A liar and a cheat. That's what you called me, isn't it?
Clay Fallmont : I was hurt.
Sammy Jo Dean Carrington : Well, so was I. I loved you, and I trusted you. You've never seen me for who I am. Sure, you wanna make love, but when it comes to... to listen and to forgive, you're nowhere to be found. I don't know why we're dragging this out.
[produces documents]
Sammy Jo Dean Carrington : You have to sign these annulment papers.
[impatiently waving papers]
Sammy Jo Dean Carrington : Just sign them.
Clay Fallmont : [taking the documents] Sammy Jo, if I sign these papers, I'm admitting that our marriage was nothing but a fraud.
Sammy Jo Dean Carrington : Well, what else was it? In the beginning, you didn't want me as part of your family. And then, when I thought I was pregnant, you didn't even want the baby.
Clay Fallmont : I love you.
Sammy Jo Dean Carrington : I don't know what you feel, Clay, but it sure isn't love.
Clay Fallmont : No? Then tell me what this is.
[kisses her passionately, and she surrenders to her own feelings, until coming to her senses and pushing him away]
Clay Fallmont : I want you so much, Sammy Jo. More than I've ever wanted anything or anyone in my entire life.
Sammy Jo Dean Carrington : Whatever we feel, Clay, whatever you wanna call it, it has no future. Just sign the papers.
Clay Fallmont : [smirks] Same old story, isn't it? Whatever Sammy Jo wants, Sammy Jo gets. Well, you'd better grow up and decide what it is you really do want.
[signs]
Clay Fallmont : Take your papers and get out of here.

Steven Carrington : So it's really over then?
Sammy Jo Dean Carrington : Yeah.
Steven Carrington : I'm sorry. I mean... I want you to be happy.
Sammy Jo Dean Carrington : You know what makes me happy, Steven? It's when I see Danny running across the yard to the stable, wanting to feed Valez a sugar cube. And... and watching his eyes light up when he sees me. I've been waiting so long for that.
Steven Carrington : You're great with him. He loves you.

Steven Carrington : What would make you happy, Sammy Jo...? Besides Danny? I mean, if it;s really over between you and Clay, what's next?
Sammy Jo Dean Carrington : [shrugs] I don't know what's next. I'm just taking it one day at a time.
Steven Carrington : You know, Clay may have signed the papers, but... maybe it's not too late.
Sammy Jo Dean Carrington : For what? Steven, it's done. I know what I want.
Steven Carrington : Really? I just asked you, and you couldn't give me an answer.
[she looks down]
Steven Carrington : What do you want?
Sammy Jo Dean Carrington : [bothered] Not to be questioned, for one thing.
Steven Carrington : [rises from couch] Look, if I've invaded your privacy, I'm sorry.
Sammy Jo Dean Carrington : For God's sake, Steven, stop apologizing. Right now, I'm just... glad we're together.
