Chapter 4: Tracy Explains All
(Tracy approaches Monica and the others.)
Tracy: Dillon and the others are in the boathouse in case anyone is wondering.
Monica: Since when do you care what Dillon is up to?
Tracy: (sighs)
Edward: Tracy, please show that man the way out! Now! (pointing to Coleman)
Coleman: I'm not leaving until my Mama gives me some lovin'.
Edward: Oh for God sakes.
Alan: This is ridiculous.
Ned: This is disgusting.
Skye: I was thinking interesting.
Tracy: Coleman, sweetheart? Not gonna happen. I'm a married woman.
Skye: That didn't stop you before.
Tracy: Oh would you stay out of this? Coleman and I would have never been together had I not been set-up.
Lois: Wait—What is going on?
Monica: Didn't I ask this earlier?
Alice: Am I going to have to explain again?
Edward: No.
Ned: Well, someone is going to have to explain.
Alice: All right. Here we go. It all started…
Tracy: Oh give it up! You wanna know what happened Monica? Luke wanted a divorce—
Monica: Can't blame him.
Tracy: Let me finish—He also wanted 15 million dollars in alimony.
Lois: Holy Toledo! 15 million dollars?
Tracy: (nods) I just wanted a divorce. I figured if I asked Luke to sleep with me—
Alan: This is not going to become very detailed, is it?
Lorenzo: Maybe all non-family members should leave.
Lainey: I'm beginning to think that would be a good idea.
Skye: Nonsense. This is where it gets interesting.
Ned: Mother, just continue.
Tracy: If I asked my husband to sleep with me, and he refused, I would have grounds for a divorce.
Justus: On the grounds of non-consummation.
Tracy: Exactly.
Alice: But he didn't refuse.
Tracy: I'm talking here.
Alice: (rudely) Oh excuse me!
Lois: Then what happened?
Coleman: It's where I come in. Luke asked me to sleep with his wife.
Edward: This is very revolting.
Coleman: Don't you already know this?
Edward: (shrugs)
Coleman: I slept with Tracy, and boy, let me tell you something, she is—
Tracy: Don't even. Don't you even say…
Skye: Luke had photos of Coleman and Tracy in bed.
Coleman: They proved adultery.
Tracy: They proved entrapment.
Ned: What they proved was sexual assault!
Tracy: Ned, darling.
Coleman: It was not like that; your mother enjoyed her time with me.
Lorenzo: All right. It's time for me to leave.
Alan: I don't need to hear this either.
Alice: Is anyone interested?
Tracy: Coleman and I pursued a relationship; Luke called off the divorce.
Skye: He was jealous.
Edward: Because he wanted to be with my daughter. (pause) That I'll never understand.
Tracy: (sarcastically) Why thank you, Daddy.
Alice: And now Mr. and Mrs. Luke Spencer remain together.
Edward: In a sham of a marriage.
Lois: Where is Luke?
(Luke enters.)
Luke: Right here.
Alan: You ought to be ashamed of yourself Luke; treating my sister the way you did.
Luke: Did I miss something?
Justus: We have just been informed of you and your wife's escapades.
Alice: They know everything.
Luke: Everything?
Alice: Well, not the stuff about Helena.
Monica: Helena gets involved?
Luke: She started it all! If you want to blame anyone, blame her!
Ned: Nice try, Luke, but I'm blaming you. My mother may be horrible and rotten and…
Tracy: Darling, I'm sure everyone's got the point.
Ned: But what you did was despicable.
Luke: She LIKED her time with Coleman.
Alan: She was making the best out of the situation.
Skye: Oh I don't know about that. She and Coleman…
Lainey: Excuse me, but I believe we've heard enough.
Coleman: So…Where's the food?
