We pick up right where we left off. Viki is about to say something to
Dorian about not talking about Todd. Then she changes her mind. She
decides the topic will keep Dorian distracted from their current
predicament.
Viki: Okay, what is it you want to say?
Dorian: He's a horrible person. He's an awful father and a terrible husband.
Viki: He loves his children.
Dorian: His love is not healthy. He makes Starr promise after promise that he can't keep. He gets her to lie to her mother and to spy on her.
Viki: Blair isn't exactly mother of the year.
Dorian: No, she's not. She lets Starr get away with entirely too much. But she does try to treat Starr like her child, not her partner in crime.
Viki: Todd does the best he can.
Dorian: He told Blair that Jack was dead.
Viki: I know.
Dorian: He never changes. He lies and schemes to get Blair back and then when they're finally back together his schemes blow up in his face and they are apart again. How can that be good for Starr?
Viki: It's not.
Dorian: And yet you still defend him and try to push them back together.
Viki: They love each other.
Dorian: Their love is sick and twisted. Would you want someone to love Jessica or Natalie that way? (Viki doesn't answer.) No, you wouldn't. I understand that he's your brother and you love him. I love Melinda but I know she's not mother of the year and I don't pretend like she is.
Viki: What exactly is it that you want from me?
Dorian: Nothing. You're never going to stop defending him so there's no point in talking about it. Let's talk about something else.
Viki: Okay. (there is silence for a couple of minutes) Like what?
Dorian: Food.
Viki: Food?
Dorian: I am so hungry. I haven't eaten since lunch. I would love a good greasy burger.
Viki: Don't rub it in. I can't eat food like that anymore.
Dorian: Sorry. How about some good raw vegetables? No, I'm sorry. That doesn't have the same ring to it. I want meat.
Viki: How about stewed chicken?
Dorian: Only the fat.
Viki: How is it that you've never had a heart attack?
Dorian: Heart problems do not run in my family. Head problems, on the other hand. I just remembered, I have lifesavers. Do you want some?
Viki: Sure.
Dorian goes through her purse and takes her wallet out. It falls open and her pictures drop down.
Viki: Can I look at these?
Dorian: Sure.
Viki: Aww, that picture of Ace is so cute. I don't think I have that one.
Dorian: I got the last copy.
Viki: No fair. I can't believe how grown up Starr looks.
Dorian: I know. Our baby's growing up.
Viki (looking at a black and white picture): What's this?
Dorian: That's Melinda and me when we were young.
Next to that picture is one of Cassie and next to that one of Adriana. Viki looks at them comparing Cassie and Adriana and then Adriana and a young Dorian.
Viki: Dorian, I am so sorry. I owe you a big apology.
Viki: Okay, what is it you want to say?
Dorian: He's a horrible person. He's an awful father and a terrible husband.
