It's a few minutes later. Dorian is in one corner and Viki is in the other. Viki is staring off into space.
Dorian: I found them.
Viki: You found what?
Dorian: The lifesavers. There's four left. That means two apiece. There's two reds, a green and a yellow. What color do you want?
Viki: A red and a yellow.
Dorian: Here you go.
Viki: Thank you.
Dorian: You want to play the Or game?
Viki: That game Starr likes so much?
Dorian: Yes.
Viki: Sure. You start.
Dorian: Okay. The Brady Bunch or the Partridge Family?
Viki: Definitely the Partridge Family. Their songs were a lot better. Sonny or Cher?
Dorian: Sonny. There was something about his eyes that I really liked. Tom or Dick?
Viki: Smothers? (Dorian nods) Tom. He's always so funny. Star Trek or Star Wars?
Dorian: Star Trek. I especially liked Star Trek five.
Viki: You liked The Final Frontier? Nobody likes that one.
Dorian: I did, especially the guy that played Sybok. I can see myself having babies with him.
Viki: It always comes back to men with you, doesn't it?
Dorian: Not always. Besides, what's wrong with that?
Viki: You don't always make the best choices with men.
Dorian: You're the one who dated the governor.
Viki: You wanted to.
Dorian: David helped me see the error of my ways.
Viki: Isn't he a little young for you?
Dorian: Isn't Ben a little young for you?
Viki: Ben is a good man.
Dorian: Ben worked for the mob. David has made mistakes but he has changed. He loves me. And he loves all my kids. I know I can count on him to take care of them for me.
Viki: Yeah, I can always count on Clint to take care of my kids. Speaking of my kids, I can't believe you slept with my son.
Dorian: You sent me to death row.
Viki: I thought you killed my father.
Dorian: Well, I didn't and even if I did he deserved it.
Viki: I didn't know that then.
Dorian: Well, I didn't know that you didn't know. Otherwise I would've broken it too you much more gently.
Viki: Do you love David more than Mel?
Dorian: It's not a competition. I don't know if I love him more than Mel. I love him differently than Mel. We're much more compatible. David gets me. He doesn't try to change me. He's not worshipping at your feet and telling me to play nice with you or else. He's not blabbing all my secrets to you or printing them in The Banner. He's not forcing me to relive the hell that was my childhood.
Viki: It sounds like you are angry at Mel.
Dorian: Sometimes I am. When I look back on it, I sometimes can't believe I put up with his crap.
Viki: Well, I understand that. I used to hate when he would come running to me talking about you. It made me very uncomfortable. I mean, I don't mind you telling me things but I think it should be your choice, not his. I would hate if someone ran to you blabbing all my deepest, darkest secrets. Then again, you knew them before I did. Do you think you would still be together if he was alive?
Dorian: No. I don't think we could live together. I'm not going to change. And why should I have to? If he doesn't love me for me than he shouldn't have married me.
Viki: We've been through a lot of men, haven't we?
Dorian: Yes, we have. Do you still love Clint?
Viki: I'll always love Clint. He gave me Natalie. He adopted Joey and Kevin and later Jessica when he found out about Mitch. He's a big part of my life. But we grew apart. We have very different lives now.
Dorian: Why do all Buchanans run off to London? It doesn't seem like they would fit in there.
Viki: I don't know. It is strange to think about a bunch of cowboys living in London.
Dorian: That would be a good reality show.
Viki: Do you watch those?
Dorian: No, I like my drama to be scripted. Actually, I did watch The Osbournes. It made me feel like a good mother when I compared myself to their parenting.
Viki: I watched Survivor once. I hated it.
Dorian: I like A Baby Story. None of my girls like it though. Cassie says it reminds her of William. And Blair says it reminds her of Brendan. And I'm not really sure what Kelly's problem with it is. Apparently, giving birth to Ace wasn't a pleasant experience for her.
Viki: Well, she was all alone on a farm. Jessica doesn't like it either. She says it reminds her of Megan.
Dorian looks up shocked and Viki realizes what she just said.
