Caroline: Come on now, level with me. How deep are you getting into this with EJ? (July 7)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sami: Grandma, I'm telling you EJ is different. Being a father has--well, it's-- I think that it just cancelled out everything that he was in the past.
Caroline: So then it's all for the sake of the children? It has nothing to do with your feelings for him? Right?
Sami: Look, it's not like I've forgotten what a bastard he used to be. I know that. But grandma, I can see a guy who's trying to change. And maybe he already has.
Caroline: I don't like to talk about this very much, but the hardest thing about loving victor was knowing that he sincerely wanted to change and knowing he just couldn't. (July 7)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EJ: Thank you, father. I'm not an idiot.
Stefano: You're in love. It's exactly the same thing.
EJ: [Scoffs] (July 7)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sami: Hey, EJ, I-- oh, um...you're obviously in the middle of something. I don't mean to bother you.
EJ: No, no, I'm fine, don't go.
Sami: Oh, no, no. It's a general rule of thumb with crime bosses that you shouldn't interrupt them while they're brooding.
EJ: Oh, is that right? Well, I was thinking about you, actually.
Sami: Really? 'Cause you didn't look happy. (July 7)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EJ: I was thinking you've had a pretty tough year, and... you deserve to be happy.
Sami: [Giggles] Well, I'm thinking about my plans for dinner, and a picnic. And I'm not gonna think about the crappy year I've had. Instead I'm going to focus on how hard I worked at the gym to enjoy my grandma's fried chicken and some flashlight tag.
EJ: You have quite the spirit.
Sami: Either that, or I'm just shallow. [Giggles] (July 7)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sami: Oh, we will. Yeah, yeah, it's gonna be really fun. But... look, look, I know if it seems totally boring to you, but... you're welcome to come with us.
EJ: Come with you like... a date come with you? Is that a date?
Sami: It's--
EJ: Sounds like a date.
Sami: It's not--stop.
EJ: Is that a date? (July 7)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sami: Yeah, yeah, it's totally a date I planned. Really romantic--with my twin preschoolers and a baby, at a community park. Definitely just as good as a weekend in Paris.
EJ: I think it sounds wonderful. I'm just glad that...
Sami: Say it.
EJ: I'm just glad that I didn't scare you off when I told you I loved you. (July 7)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EJ: Yeah, well, I think I know what you should say. I think you should say that you're starting to have feelings for me again.
Sami: [Giggles] I did talk to my grandma about it. Got a lecture. And, um...the truth is, I'm just really confused.
EJ: Confused? Confused is wonderful. I'm happy you're confused. You used to loathe me. I think confused is a fantastic step in the right direction.
Sami: [Scoffs] Only you. (July 7)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EJ: Samantha, I think you've grown up a great deal in the last year.
Sami: I'm not 16 anymore. I shouldn't be telling my grandma that I don't know how I feel about a guy, and I don't know how he feels about me.
EJ: I've told you exactly how I feel. (July 7)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EJ: Um... well...do you want to be more independent?
Sami: So right now you're thinking I should be focusing on my kids, and making sure that they have their father.
EJ: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait a second, Samantha, don't put words in my mouth, please. Okay. I think it's really important that your children see that you do exactly what is right for you.
Sami: That's all I want, you know. I shouldn't be involved with anyone until I can figure out if I can stand on my own two feet or not. (July 7)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EJ: If you want to go, I won't stop you.
Sami: Really?
EJ: Really. I want you to be happy. Even if that means I have to let you go. (July 7)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sami: Hey, come on. You don't have to be sad, we haven't left yet.
EJ: Yeah. You're not sad?
Sami: Well...
EJ: Maybe? A little bit?
Sami: [Giggles] A little. (July 7)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sami: Well...
EJ: Maybe? A little bit?
Sami: [Giggles] A little. (July 7)
Ej: Yeah. You know, you can--you can say the "f" word if you want to.
Sami: I'd rather not jinx it.
Ej: Nothing bad'll happen. Trust me.
Sami: It's nice to have the whole family together.
Ej: There you go. See? No lightning flashes. No earthquakes. Think we're safe. You did it. (July 8)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sami: Fried chicken, salad, fruit, brownies. My grandma sure knows how to pack a picnic basket. Ooh, chex mix.
Ej: Chex mix? What's chex mix?
Sami: Are you serious? What, have you been living under a rock?
Ej: No, I haven't been living under a rock. I just don't eat chex mix. What is this?
Sami: It's so good. You have to try it. It's, like, a million different flavors in your mouth at the same time. (July 8)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ej: Wow. It's really good.
Sami: I know, right? Well, don't hog it all. I want some.
Ej: These are mine.
Sami: Hey, I want some.
Ej: Whoa, oh, oh! Wow.
Sami: I'm so sorry.
Ej: No, no, no, no. Not at all. It's completely fine. (July 8)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sami: Well, take your shirt off then, and I'll try to get it out.
Ej: Oh, take my shirt off. Oh, I see. I see. So you bring me down here in the middle of the night and cover me with--what did you cover me with?
Sami: It's just some salad dressing.
Ej: Olive oil. And now you--you want me to take my shirt off?
Sami: [Laughs]
Ej: You could have just asked me to take my shirt off.
Sami: All right, just give me the shirt, ej.
Ej: Uh-huh.
Sami: Stop it.
Ej: Here. (July 8)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sami to Sydney: [Sighs] What? I can't help it. He has his shirt off. I'm just looking. (July 8)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ej: Yeah? Maybe it's all the standing on your own two feet that's tiring you out.
Sami: Maybe, but it's still the right thing to do.
Ej: It is. I meant what I said. I want to give you your independence.
Sami: You know, um, just 'cause I'm standing on my own two feet doesn't mean that i don't like having you nearby. (July 8)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sami: Are you sure you have to go? (July 8)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ej: You want me to stay?
Sami: Yeah.
Ej: Why?
Sami: 'Cause. 'Cause you said we were supposed to have a family night together.
Ej: Well, um, I'm sure we'll have plenty of others. (July 8)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ej: I like practicing law, okay? And I get to work with somebody who's innocent. Doesn't happen very often. In our line of work.
Stefano: But it takes so much of your time. And you are not going to see any money.
Ej: Well, maybe it makes me feel good.
Stefano: And maybe it makes samantha brady feel good, huh? Because that's what's really going on here, isn't it? (July 8)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Will: So it is about ej?
Sami: For him, yeah. For me... I don't know.
Will: Look, I'm sorry. Um, I was such a jerk about ej. You know, um, I told dad that, you know, I think he's trying to be a decent guy, you know, and johnny and allie and sydney, they're all nuts about him. Um, maybe, uh, you know, maybe he's changed.
Sami: Maybe he has. (July 8)
Sami: I'd rather not jinx it.
Ej: Nothing bad'll happen. Trust me.
Sami: It's nice to have the whole family together.

Sami: Maybe he has. (July 8)
EJ: Well, I was, um-- I was actually thinking of taking, uh, Johnny and, um, Sydney away for the summer. And I was hoping that you and Allie and Will would come with me.
Sami: You were thinking about going away for the whole summer? Where?
EJ: Anywhere Father has some property, really. I mean, I was actually just talking to his property company now to see what they have.
Sami: Huh. So, um, I had no idea you were even thinking about doing something like that.(July 14)
Sami: You were thinking about going away for the whole summer? Where?
EJ: Anywhere Father has some property, really. I mean, I was actually just talking to his property company now to see what they have.
Sami: Huh. So, um, I had no idea you were even thinking about doing something like that.(July 14)
Sami: I don't just hate you, Nicole. I get you. I get why you're unhappy, why you're bitter. I get why you want to do everything you can to ruin things for EJ. After everything that happened between the two of you, you can't stand the idea that he might have a happy family life and you're all alone.(July 15)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nicole: Well, look who's here.
Sami: He lives here.
Nicole: It's not gonna make a difference, EJ. You're not gonna stop me from telling her the truth.
Sami: No, I am, because I'm not gonna listen. EJ, please take the trash out.
Nicole: [Chuckles]
EJ: With pleasure. (July 15)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EJ about Nicole: If you thought that she had something, why did you not just ask her to tell you?
Sami: Because I've been in your shoes. I think I'd rather hear you tell me. (July 15)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EJ about the flooding of Marlena's townhouse: Samantha, in my defense... I only did this because I could not bear the idea that you and the children were gonna be away from me. I want you to come here to live under this roof with me. I know that's not a great defense, but that's-- that's my defense
Sami: You're right. It's not a great defense. I mean, you destroyed my mother's property, EJ. You lied to me, EJ. And now I have to... find a way to make it-- you know the worst part is? It's actually sort of kind of--
EJ: Charming? A little bit? Maybe? Flattering?
Sami: Don't push it.
EJ: Dare I say? (July 15)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sami: EJ, what am I gonna do with you?
EJ: Okay, well, now that's out the way.
Sami: Oh! I'm still mad.(July 15)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EJ: Miss Negative. Stop thinking Negative Nelly (July 15)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sami: Stop. This has nothing to do with Rafe. This has to do with you and me. I've already told you that I am uncomfortable with... our proximity and how much time we've been spending together lately. And you think going on some romantic getaway is gonna change that? And P.S., I still have not entirely forgiven you for the whole destroying my mother's townhouse thing.
EJ: Have you seen it? I mean, I completely renovated it. It looks lovely.
Sami: Don't push your luck, EJ. You know what?
EJ: I'm sorry. (July 15)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sami: Go on your little getaway. Go to some gorgeous topless beach in Monaco. You're a good-looking, sexy, rich bachelor. Have a good time. Or stay here with me. (July 15)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EJ: [Sighs] Gosh. Love it when she's like that. (July 15)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nicole: Well, look who's here.
Sami: He lives here.
Nicole: It's not gonna make a difference, EJ. You're not gonna stop me from telling her the truth.

Sami: EJ's a great dad. He's been wonderful to me and the kids. I mean, he is kind and supportive and lo-- (July 21)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rafe: So did you mean loving to the kids or...to you? You're not gonna answer that. Sami: Yeah, he, um-- he admitted to having feelings for me.
Rafe: Oh, Sami, come on. He's in love with you. Say it. Just say it!
Sami: Okay, fine! He loves me! He told me that.
Rafe: And?
Sami: A-- and--and I think it's only fair that I give him another chance. (July 21)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sami: And those kids are devoted to their big brother. They're devoted to EJ. They love him. He's Johnny and Sydney's father, and I'm just trying to do what is right for my family.
Rafe: Right. Yes. That is what you always say.
Sami: You know, I think the best thing I can do for them is to give them two parents living together under one roof. (July 21)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sami to Rafe: Who says I'm not happy. Hey, man, living with EJ... they got that place set up. I mean, there are people there that help me with everything. My life will be so easy. (July 21)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sami: This is my life...and my future with EJ. And I would like to just be clear. And I think I have a chance in the future with him because I know he has feelings for me. Because he wants to be with me! He loves me. (July 21)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sami: EJ is a great father. And Johnny and Sydney, they-- they adore him. (July 21)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rafe: So did you mean loving to the kids or...to you? You're not gonna answer that. Sami: Yeah, he, um-- he admitted to having feelings for me.

Sami: Ej... he's become the kind of man I always thought he could be. (July 22)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ej:Just trust me on this one.
Sami: It's funny you say that, "trust me," and in my head, it echoes every member of my family telling me not to. But, um... I don't know, ej. Lately it just... seems right. Trusting you has gotten me this far, right?
Ej: You have no idea how happy that makes me. (July 22)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sami: Um... I have something I have to tell you too. I, uh--I spoke to my mom today. And she... she wanted to ask me if it'd be okay if she sold the townhouse.
Ej: Oh. Um... what did you tell her?
Sami: I, um... I told her that it'd be okay with me.
Ej: Okay, so, um... uh, do you have any idea of where you're going to live?
Sami: Well, it's funny you ask, because, um... actually, ej, I was sort of hoping... that the kids and I could stay here... with you. (July 22)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sami: Believe me, EJ, no one is more surprised than I am that I--well, that I, you know--
EJ: That you can trust me?
Sami: [Laughs] I mean, it wasn't too long ago that I was so grateful to have the witness protection program so that I could hide my pregnancy and the--and the baby from you. And now, looking back, I can't summon up any of those feelings. (July 23)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sami: Who are you, and what have you done with EJ DiMera?
EJ: It's not funny. (July 23)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EJ: Look, Samantha, you still have every reason to be on your guard around me.
Sami: I don't feel that I do.
EJ: I'm a DiMera.
Sami: I know that. But you're not the same kind of DiMera as Stefano. I mean, I kept telling you you didn't have to follow in your father's footsteps, and look at you. You--you actually did it. You've changed. You're--you're your own man.
EJ: You have no idea how much it means to hear you say that.
Sami: Well, you earned it. (July 23)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EJ: I was just thinking. You know, ever since... we've known each other, it seems that I've always been keeping something from you, conning you one way or another.
Sami: Yeah, well, we've both grown up a lot since then. Look, when I told you that I trust you, I didn't mean to bum you out.
EJ: Samantha, in the time that I've known you, you have made me very angry and you've made me very happy, but I can assure you, you've never bummed me out. (July 23)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EJ: I'm just remembering when I moved in across the hall from you.
Sami: Hmm.
EJ: I came in with this wonderful plan to exact revenge against your family. I didn't anticipate it would have one rather fatal flaw. I fell in love with you the moment I saw you.
Sami: Yeah, that always happens with me.
EJ: And you had no idea. You didn't even see me.
Sami: Come on, EJ. We both know that's not true. (July 23)

EJ talking about Sydney: Samantha, she adores you. You're her mother, all right? Just give it a little bit of time. Things will smooth themselves out. (July 23)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EJ: Do you trust me?
Sami: EJ, of course I trust you--I told you that. It's Nicole I don't trust. (July 23)
EJ: That you can trust me?
Sami: [Laughs] I mean, it wasn't too long ago that I was so grateful to have the witness protection program so that I could hide my pregnancy and the--and the baby from you. And now, looking back, I can't summon up any of those feelings. (July 23)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sami: Who are you, and what have you done with EJ DiMera?
EJ: It's not funny. (July 23)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EJ: Look, Samantha, you still have every reason to be on your guard around me.
Sami: I don't feel that I do.
EJ: I'm a DiMera.
Sami: I know that. But you're not the same kind of DiMera as Stefano. I mean, I kept telling you you didn't have to follow in your father's footsteps, and look at you. You--you actually did it. You've changed. You're--you're your own man.

Johnny: I'm sorry, mommy.
Sami: That's okay, pumpkin.
Johnny: I love you, mommy.
Sami: Oh, I love you too.(July 28)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ej: He knows you love him unconditiolly, so he's tryingto push here and there, see what he can get away with. A bit like me.
Sami: [Laughs] He is like you.
Ej: Mm-hmm.
Sami: I knew I recognized it. But you know what, I'm just glad to hear you say that because i would hate to think that I was screwing up my kids, you know, permanently.
Ej: Samantha, you're a wonderful mother. Wonderful. Your children are incredibly lucky to have you. You know that, right? (July 28)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sami: You amaze me sometimes, ej.
Ej: You amaze me all the time. (July 28)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sami: Johnny's amazing. And he's growing so quickly and...I-I'm just so proud of him.
Ej: Right. As am I, samantha. Did he say something that upset you?
Sami: It wasn't the popsicle thing. He said that he wantedo talk to the judge. I mean, why he even was thinking about the judge, I don't know. But he said he wanted to go to the judge and tell him that he loves his daddy more than his mommy. And I don't know why you think that's funny.
Ej: That little... he told me the exact opposite thing! The exact opposite.
Sami: Really?
Ej: Really.
Sami: No, he didn't. You're just saying that to make me feel better.
Ej: No, no, no, I'm not. Really. I wouldn't do that. I swear on everything I hold dear.
Sami: Well, if that's true, ej, then he is super-confused right now, and I really feel bad for him. (July 28)
Sami: That's okay, pumpkin.
Johnny: I love you, mommy.
Sami: Oh, I love you too.(July 28)
