10/7 Transcript

Singer: Look at us so surprised; Count the blessings realized. And the cross you bear won't hold you down; 'Cause we never go where we can't be found.
Taylor: I shouldn't be here.
===================================================================
[Music plays]
Jake: Are you tired?
Taylor: Of?
Jake: It's just that every time that you open up, you close right back down. I'm tired just watching. I'm exhausted.
Taylor: Do you know what exhausts me? Having the same conversation over and over again. Why can't you just let this go?
Jake: I don't know. I just can't.
Taylor: Because you like the soft, vulnerable side of me?
Jake: No. Because I think you're special.
Taylor: It's not real, Jake.
Jake: What does that mean?
Taylor: It's not me. That's not who I am, not anymore. It's just I get -- I get sucked in by you, and I forget who I really am.
Jake: So, letting your guard down, you think that's going to make you disappear or something?
Taylor: I do disappear. That's the point. That woman you think you see, the one who cries and feels things, that's my ghost. Taylor died a year ago because when Brot died, she went with him.
Singer: I walked down to the shore. I'll recover from this I've recovered from so much more.
Tad: Did I miss something?
Krystal: Well, the two of them were dancing. Uh, it was real sweet. And then all of a sudden, Taylor just goes off on him and the two of them go at it, and you saw the rest.
Tad: Huh. No shortage of drama.
===================================================================
Bartender: There you go.
Jake: I really shouldn't.
Tad: Yeah, stop whining. Come here.
Jake: I want you to know. I am going to get claustrophobia.
Tad: So, wow.
Jake: Yeah.
Tad: Sounds like your friend Taylor hasn't exactly dealt with the loss of her fiance.
Jake: Every time she opens up, she heads right out the door.
Tad: You tell her about Carolyn?
Jake: Why would I do that?
Tad: Well, it is common ground -- hey -- it's a loss. It's not the same kind of loss, but it's a loss all the same.
Jake: She's not who she pretends to be, this one.
Tad: And how do you know she's pretending? Come to think of it, you've got a pretty marked interest in this particular soldier. Why is that?
Jake: I don't know. Maybe it's because I'm a doctor. I'm trying to help her.
Tad: Or a man.
Jake: Hmm.
Tad: What do you mean, "hmm"? You don't exactly talk about her like she's just another patient. Does, um, does she have family? I mean, parents?
Jake: Who, Taylor?
Tad: No, Britney.
[Jake chuckles]
Jake: Yeah, she's got parents, you know, unless she was --
Tad: Okay, you know what I'm talking about.
Jake: She's got two brothers, I think.
Tad: Are they close?
Jake: Uh, I -- it's a military family. I don't -- that's all I -- that's all I got.
Tad: Okay, well, they must be very proud of her.
Jake: Actually, from what I gathered, they don't approve.
Tad: Oh. And she's waiting for redeployment. It's kind of interesting, you know, that she would choose to do it in Pine Valley. Where did you say she was from again?
Jake: Uh, Army bases all up -- what's with the inquisition?
[Phone beeps]
Tad: It's not an inquisition. So snippy.
Jake: Uh, it's you. It's not me. It's Amanda.
Tad: Ah, there you go.
Jake: I got go.
Tad: There's a woman who knows how to ask for help.
Jake: Why do you think I enjoy hanging out with her?
Tad: I don't know. Maybe it's the doctor in you.
Jake: Maybe it's the man in me. Hmm. You're buying my beer.
Singer: Look at us so surprised; Count the blessings realized. And the cross you bear won't hold you down; 'Cause we never go where we can't be found.
Taylor: I shouldn't be here.

10/7 ~ The Dance Continued
It wasn't much of a continuation. Two extremely short scenes of Jake & Taylor! Taylor pulls away from Jake and ends up leaving quickly. Jake hangs with Tad a little and then sees Amanda at Fusion. Tad tells Krystal that someone has contacted him about investigating Taylor. Ooooh...who would want to know about Taylor? Brot maybe? Brot's family? Or her own family? Hmmm.

Jake: Excuse me. Hey. How you doing? Come here often, sailor?
Taylor: Now, that's an original line.
Jake: Yeah. Well, I've been calling you. Could I get a beer, Kyle? Just anything you got on tap is fine.
Kyle: Yeah, sure.
Taylor: Really? I've been busy.
Jake: Yeah? You've been avoiding me.
Taylor: I've been busy.
Jake: You're chicken.
Taylor: What?
Jake: You're chicken. I -- I guess I scare you or something.
[Taylor laughs]
Taylor: Um, terrorists scare me and IEDs scare me, but you don't scare me.
Jake: Okay. Well, I, uh -- I just wish that you hadn't left so quickly because we didn't get to -- thank you -- finish talking about what we were talking about.
Taylor: What were we talking about?
Jake: I see you, Taylor. Okay? And you talk about missing your fiancé. I see you trying to figure out who you are when -- when you try to find yourself --
Taylor: I'm not sure where you're going with this, but actually I have to go because I'm getting up very early in the morning --
Jake: Do not walk away from me, please.
Taylor: What do you want from me, Jake?
Jake: Why are you so hostile with me? What did I ever do to you? Have I done something --
Taylor: Why am I -- you know what? You always make me -- why can't I just buy you a beer, we play a game of pool, and we go our separate ways?
Jake: No, what were you trying to say before? You started to say I do what? I always make you feel what?
Taylor: You always make -- when I'm with you, I --
[Taylor sighs]
Jake: What?
Taylor: You make me feel vulnerable. Okay? I said it. There, you happy? Vulnerable.
Jake: So, what's wrong with that?
Taylor: Everything. I can't be vulnerable. I don't do that, not on a battlefield, not in a bar, and not with you.
==========================================================
Jake: I think you're scared of me.
Taylor: I'm not scared of you. I'm scared of -- I -- I don't do the touchy-feely thing, okay? It's weak.
Jake: Hmm. So, you can arm-wrestle and -- and curse with your buddies from your unit, but you can't be yourself with a friend.
Taylor: Wasn't the point? It's pathetic. It's useless.
[Jake sighs]
Jake: Do you know how you are when you talk to me and -- those little moments when you open up and talk about your fiancé and how much you miss him -- at those moments, I can see how much you miss him and how much you love him and that person, that woman, that's the person that I'm -- that I'm interested in. That's the person that I want to -- that I want to --
Taylor: Help?
Jake: No, but --
Taylor: Change?
Jake: No.
Taylor: You don't want this, Jake. You want cleavage and giggles. You don't want a solider. You don't want a screwed-up soldier.
Jake: Are you paying attention? I think you're amazing.
Taylor: Because I beat you in a sprint? I --
Jake: No, because you make me think. You -- you challenge me.
Taylor: I'm -- I'm done thinking for tonight -- done talking.
[Music plays]
Taylor: What?
Jake: No, uh, talking. No thinking.
[Jake and Taylor dance]
Singer: Take the time to let it be the things you loved don't make a sound you never go where you can't be found is it love or is it greed? Is it you or is it me?
Singer: Promise of affection takes me in let it in let it in.

10/6 ~ A Dance!
JAKE AND TAYLOR SHARE THEIR FIRST DANCE!!!!
Their scenes were very short, but they were very revealing. Taylor admits that Jake makes her feel vulnerable. Jake tells Taylor that she challenges him. Taylor's at The Comeback to not think or talk, so Jake offers a dance. And it oozes with chemistry!
The song they dance to is "Where You Can't Be Found" by Todd Thibaud.

Picture Of The 9/29 Week!
I've had the idea to share a weekly picture for a while, but I've been waiting for the right time in Jake and Taylor's relationship. This past week featured the opportunity to choose a picture that, in my opinion, is the best of all the screencaps I made for the week.
On October 2nd, Jake and Taylor's connection deepened a bit, and I finally saw a spark between them. I've been waiting for Ricky Paull Goldin & Beth Ehlers' famous magical chemistry to shine through in their new roles. Of course I was worried when viewers pointed out that they weren't seeing the chemistry. But I had hope that when it's suppose to be there, it will be. On Thursday Jake grabbed Taylor's hand. They held hands for a bit, and there was chemistry. They also had some amazing eye contact.
Thus, the picture-of-the-week features the hand-holding:

CAPTION THIS ~ 10/2
Taylor (thinking): Star light, star bright, please bring Brot back to me tonight.
Jake (thinking): Just stay cool, Jake. She's here, but she's missing another man. Just let her talk, and soon you'll be back with a woman who wants you.
10/2 Transcript
Credit goes to TV MegaSite again. Taken from Ricky's Official FanSite.
Amanda: Awkward.
Jake: This isn't, uh, well, no actually it is, it's exactly what it looks like.
Taylor: Nice outfit.
Amanda: Uh, the jacket, I know. I'm so sorry, I saw it in your stuff. I thought it would be fun to --
Taylor: You thought it would be fun to mock the military? And everything it stands for?
Amanda: No.
Taylor: Soldiers wear that while they fight. They're risking their lives. They're, they're dying to protect this country, to protect you, amanda.
Jake: Yeah, all right, all right, all right, come on, let's just take it easy, ok?
Amanda: I didn't mean to upset you.
Taylor: What do you care? What do you care about any of that nonsense? You're too busy playing. Always playing dress up on your fancy yacht.
Jake: Look, she didn't mean anything by it.
Taylor: That's a real uniform. Obviously, I've interrupted your moment. I'll let you get back to it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Amanda: I thought it would be cute, fun, sexy.
Jake: Well, but wait, wait, listen, look at me. It was, it was, it really was, it was all of those things. Oh, no.
Amanda: What, what does that mean?
Jake: God.
Amanda: What, you're freaking me out?
Jake: This is not taylor's jacket. This is monroe, her fiance, brot monroe.
Amanda: Oh, ok, hold up. Taylor's engaged?
Jake: Well, she was. The guy died last year.
Amanda: Oh, my god, I was using her dead fiance's uniform as foreplay. Can you imagine what she thought when she saw us like that?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jake: There's no way you could have known that.
Amanda: Still, I need to find taylor and apologize. Tell her she can use me for target practice, or something.
Jake: That's what I was going to say. Why don't you just take a deep breath and you stay here, ok? And I'll go look. I'll go look for her and talk to her.
Amanda: But I'm the one who messed up.
Jake: I understand that, but I'll tell her you're sorry, all right? I just don't want her to feel anymore uncomfortable than she already does. Make sense?
Amanda: Ok, I'll stay here in case she comes home.
Jake: Good.
Amanda: So much for our sexcellent celebration.
Jake: Sexcellent, nice.
Amanda: I just came up with that. You like?
Jake: Yes, very much, sexcellent. All right, so when I get back we'll pick up with um, with what you said, ok?
Amanda: Ok.
Jake: All right.
Amanda: In case you forget.
Jake: Yeah, that's a kiss you can't forget. I'll be back, don't worry.
Amanda: Ok.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jake: Well, wow, look who's on my porch. Ahem. Would you jump over the railing?
Taylor: I like it out here. It's peaceful, it's quiet. It's not silent.
Jake: Yeah, well, you know, wait till the crickets and the bull frogs get going during mating season.
Taylor: Won't bother me. It's the silence I can't stand. That moment of absolute stillness before everything explodes. I'm sorry.
Jake: You're sorry?
Taylor: For freaking out on you guys.
Jake: I understand.
Taylor: I know you understand, but amanda doesn't, or she didn't, unless -- did you --
Jake: I did, but I hope, I mean -- I told her --
Taylor: No, it's fine. I totally get that you had to tell her because she didn't understand, and I feel bad because I like amanda, so would you just, when you go back and see her, would you just tell her I'm not mad or anything.
Jake: Oh, of course I will, and she'll be glad to hear that because she feels awful, and she didn't mean anything by wearing the, you know -- and she doesn't know about your fiance and she didn't know and trust me when I tell you, she feels awful.
Taylor: Everybody feels awful and nobody understands. Well, nobody except you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Taylor: You know why else I like it here? Because this is the only place that I ever told his story out loud. So it makes me feel close to him.
Jake: Well, it's a lot of story to hold.
Taylor: I think about him all the time. I can see him. All I have to do is close my eyes and --
Jake: Or maybe you see him when you look at his jacket with his name on it. I have to tell you, I didn't -- I never saw the name on the jacket. I, you know -- you'd already left by the time I saw the name on the jacket.
Taylor: I didn't think that you did. You know, I thought about it afterwards and I said, he would never do that.
Jake: I would never -- I would never do something like that.
Taylor: See, I shouldn't be here. I mean, not here. I should be in iraq with my unit. Not seeing some psychiatrist. It doesn't get -- or even our little pushup contests. I guess it's --
Jake: I would like a rematch sometime. You know, there -- there's a valid reason why they don't want you to go back yet, a valid medical reason.
Taylor: This isn't about post-traumatic stress. It's not. What I saw over there? No matter how awful it was, I can get past that. I know I can. But I can't seem to get past -- the reason that I'm here is --
Taylor: I miss him. I just miss him. A place that is so deep in me. I miss him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Taylor: What is it about you? Why do I feel that I can tell you anything?
Jake: I don't know, but I'm glad that you feel that way.
Taylor: When will I stop feeling this way? I wish -- I wish that there was something, anything that would make this go away.
Amanda: Awkward.
Jake: This isn't, uh, well, no actually it is, it's exactly what it looks like.
Taylor: Nice outfit.
Amanda: Uh, the jacket, I know. I'm so sorry, I saw it in your stuff. I thought it would be fun to --
