Todd Buys B&B United From Blair


Todd and Blair, having just agreed that Todd will buy Blair's company, B&B United, arrive at Todd's office. Todd turns on the light and heads to his desk.

Blair: All right, whatever this is, make it quick. Max is waiting for me at home!
Todd: Fine. I guess I'll just re-work the headline for The Banner all by myself...
Blair: (surprised) The Banner? You can do that from here?

Todd sits and begins typing as Blair watches. He pulls up the headline for the next day's Banner: "Governor's Approval Rating Dips."

Todd: No good, is it?

He erases the old headline and puts in a new one: "Governor Is A Big Dip."

Blair: (giggling) Oh, Todd, you -- wait a minute, you're terrible!
Todd: You're right. It should be much bigger. So, um, what else do you want to do?
Blair: What else do you want to do?
Todd: Well, we could destroy someone's existence.
Blair: (quickly) Skye's. Destroy her trust fund. I'd love to see her in line at a soup kitchen.
Todd: Or, we could ruin Asa Buchanan's portfolio!

Todd pulls up a new screen with a bunch of financial information on it. The heading reads "Buchanan, Asa Financial Holdings 2000. Buchanan Enterprises." Blair doesn't like that idea, however.

Blair: No, no, no, no! That is Max's money, which --
Todd: (looking at the figures) Oh, God --
Blair: No, that's my money!
Todd: Okay, fine.

Todd gets rid of the screen and sighs.

Todd: So, if you want me to buy this company of yours, you gotta tell me what it's called.
Blair: B&B.

Todd begins searching for the company online. Bored, Blair looks around Todd's desk and spots a note. She picks it up, reads it, and quickly hands it to Todd.

Blair: Todd, this note's from Tea. She says she wants to see you.

--end scene--

Todd takes the note, glances at it, then puts it back down. Blair is surprised that he doesn't seem to care.

Blair: Didn't you read it?
Todd: You just saw me read it. Yeah.
Blair: But she says she misses you.
Todd: Yeah, well, it's very touching. Problem is, it's from RJ.
Blair: Come on, you don't know that.
Todd: Yeah, no, I do. I know it's from RJ.
Blair: Well, Todd, come on, maybe she wants to -- to get back with you. Maybe she realizes that she made a mistake. I'm telling you, after all of the things that have happened with Max and me, I mean, it's crazy, but -- you know, I realize that I still love him.

Todd gets up from his desk and paces a bit as Blair continues her story.

Blair: And it was -- it's bad, but I forgave him, and --

She trails off, seeing that Todd looks lost in thought. She walks over to him.

Blair: Hey.

She puts a hand on his shoulder.

Blair: I'm sorry.

--end scene--

The mood in the room suddenly turns a bit awkward, as if Todd and Blair have both realized at the same time that they're standing quite close together. They share a quick glance and then move away from each other.

Todd: So, what, you're going to sell me this --

He catches sight of his gold name plate lying on the floor. He picks it up and throws it on the desk.

Todd: See? You see? I told you. Told you RJ was here. (sitting in his chair) So, this B&B United I got to buy. You're going to sell it to me cheap, right? That's what you said.
Blair: Mm-hmm.

Blair picks up a notepad, writes down a figure, tears the sheet off and shows it to him.

Todd: Whoa!
Blair: We got a deal?
Todd: Max is worth more trouble than I thought.
Blair: Just make sure that you erase me from anything that will connect me with anything, because Skye will find out and she'll go straight to Max.
Todd: Right, wouldn't want that.

Todd shoots Blair a curious look.

Todd: Don't worry. I'll make sure that B&B disappears.
Blair: Thank you, Todd. Really.

That taken care of, Blair prepares to leave.

Blair: Well, I'm going to just head on home.

But there's one last thing she can't let go.

Blair: You know, Todd -- I always knew Tea was stupid. She should've never let you go.
Todd: Max is waiting, right?
Blair: Look, you -- you saved my marriage. And I want you to know that I promise you, I am going to find a way somehow to repay you for this. I promise. Thanks.

Blair leaves the office. Todd's computer screen shows the B&B logo.

Todd: Repay me for this.

Todd deletes the "B&B" above "United" and replaces it with the name "Blair Buchanan."
