Sami moving with the kids to the DiMansion. Ejami growing closer and closer.
Sami: [Whispering] I'm gonna tell you a little secret. I can get both kids and a cup of coffee at the same time. It's crazy, I know. (May 5)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EJ: [Laughs] Okay, so the fact that I'm up and walking around and I have pants on is kind of a big deal to me at the moment. So why don't you, uh, make us a cup of coffee--black, two sugars--and I will do the most important thing, and I will go upstairs and get the kids, all right? Caroline's not gonna shoot me or anything, is she?
Sami: Well, you better mind your manners.
EJ: I always mind my manners. (May 5)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Roman: But, uh... there is a future for you and EJ?
Sami: Yeah. Maybe there is. (May 5)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Roman: Well, I know I don't have to remind you what happened last time you moved into that house.
EJ: It was a complete disaster, Roman, but, uh... I can assure you that won't happen again.
Roman: Better not. (May 5)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stefano: Look, Elvis... you and I are not fighting anymore, hmm? Samantha's in the house. And eventually, she will realize that she will want to stay here with you.
EJ: I hope so. (May 5)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EJ: Just don't let her get to you, Samantha, okay? I mean, Will cannot keep avoiding you forever. Look, you live here now, you know? And he misses you. He misses Sydney. He misses Johnny. I know that you can make this right.
Sami: Yeah. That's the reason I'm here.
EJ: Good. Is that the only reason that you're here?
Sami: What else would there be?
EJ: Well, I was just wondering if maybe, um, part of the reason that you're here might have been, uh, because of me. (May 5)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sami: [Chuckles] Sure, you're definitely one of the reasons I'm staying here.
EJ: Um, good. Good. I'm--I'm glad to hear that.
Sami: Well, it's like I told my dad, you know, you're... you're great with your kids. And they need time with you, and--at least, until you're 100% again, you know?
EJ: Oh, I see. This, um... it's about convenience, is it?
Sami: Well... we have a new understanding, right? We're cool with each other. (May 5)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stefano: [Sighs] My son is back in my life... and his children, all right? I want them to be happy. And... [Chuckles] He is in love with Samantha.
Kate: [Scoffs] Oh, come on. Seriously? You have to be kidding. There is no way. He didn't learn?
Stefano: Well, maybe he thinks she's changed. I don't know.
Kate: Well, she hasn't changed. She hasn't changed at all. She's using him. She's using him the same way she used Lucas, the same way she uses every man she's involved with. She uses them, and then she moves on.
Stefano: Samantha is not going anywhere. Trust me. (May 5)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EJ: [Laughs] Okay, so the fact that I'm up and walking around and I have pants on is kind of a big deal to me at the moment.

Stefano: Samantha is not going anywhere. Trust me. (May 5)
EJ: It is me, isn't it? I'm the reason that you don't want to be here.
Sami: Maybe it's a little bit you.
EJ: I thought so.
Sami: [Clears throat] Look...[Clears throat] I was really worried about you when you were hurt. And I was worried about Sydney, and Johnny, and what would happen to them. And just all of that, um, you know, I-I wasn't thinking straight. (May 6)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EJ: Look, we were doing really well in your place, okay? Why is this suddenly falling apart?
Sami: The kids loved having you. It's not that. It--this place, EJ, it is filled with really, really bad memories for me.
EJ: Okay, but you knew that going in, Samantha. You prepared for that. This is something else. There is something that you are not telling me. And I wish you would. Because whatever it is, I can help you deal with it.
Sami: You really mean that, don't you?
EJ: Well, of course, I do. (May 6)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EJ: What have you done?
Stefano: "What have I done?" Mm. I've tried to make you happy.
EJ: Do you know what would make me happy? Let me tell you. Being in Samantha’s house with Samantha and the children. That would make me very happy. (May 6)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EJ: And--and we... find as many ways as we can to make Kate’s life miserable.
Sami: Gee, I never thought of that.
EJ: Mm.
Sami: What'd you have in mind?
EJ: Well, I think between the two of us, there are limitless possibilities.
Sami: I don't know. It's very petty. And vindictive.
EJ: Mm. Very. (May 6)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sami: Will, you love your grandma. You love your grandma Kate no matter what she has done or what your father and I have said about her over the years. Because she's your grandma, right? EJ is Johnny and Sydney’s dad. That is never gonna change. And they love him. They love him no matter what. And I can't stand in the way of it. That's not right, okay? I have to back them up. Can you understand that?
Will: No. (May 6)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EJ: I take it things didn't go so well with Will.
Sami: That's definitely an understatement. I had him when I was really young and, um... it's not a joke to say that we grew up together. And right now it feels like... it just...feels like someone cut off my right arm because... because I really am afraid that I've lost him. [Crying] Um, EJ, uh, look, if I'm going to stay here, then we have to set some ground rules. Everyone has to understand that I am here for Will and--and Johnny and Sydney.
EJ: Yeah.
Sami: I don't want Kate or--or your father or anyone to think that it's for any other reason.
EJ: Of course.
Sami: Okay. 'Cause this is just a temporary situation. And as soon as my place is fixed, I'm out of here.
EJ: Look, I understand all of that, Samantha, but, uh, I also think that I know the real reason that you're so anxious to leave.
Sami: [Laughs nervously](May 6)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EJ: I know you're still in love with Rafe, Samantha. And I think that you feel that moving in here is betraying him despite the fact that he was the one--
Sami: No, EJ, stop. It's not about Rafe.
EJ: It's not about Rafe. Well, then, all right, fine. Then--then what is it about?
Sami: I told you. I've told you a million times.
EJ: I understand that, Samantha. But you keep putting up all of these walls that did not use to be there. And I don't understand why. Why?
Sami: It's because you kissed me. (May 6)
Sami: Maybe it's a little bit you.
EJ: I thought so.
Sami: [Clears throat] Look...[Clears throat] I was really worried about you when you were hurt. And I was worried about Sydney, and Johnny, and what would happen to them. And just all of that, um, you know, I-I wasn't thinking straight. (May 6)

Sami: It's because you kissed me. (May 6)
Sami: You kissed me.
EJ: I kissed you?
Sami: [Chuckles]
EJ: When?
Sami: After you were mugged. On the pier? You were hurt, and you were trying to sit up, and I was trying to help you lay back down, and you grabbed me, and you...
EJ: You're not joking, are you? I kissed you? I kissed you? How did you react?
Sami: You really don't remember?
EJ: I mean, I'm--I'm trying, but, um...
Sami: No, don’t. You don't have to try. I mean, it wasn't that big a deal. I mean, it wasn't that memorable.
EJ: No, Samantha, I think it was a big deal. (May 7)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sami: Are you all right? You have a headache?
EJ: No, no, I'm completely fine. I just--I'm embarrassed. And, uh, I'm sorry.
Sami: It's okay. Look, I totally know you had a concussion. You didn't know what you were doing.
EJ: Hmm.
Sami: I-I get that. And besides, it was really brief. I mean, believe me, it wasn't a big deal.
EJ: Well, it's no wonder you've been so awkward with me lately. I, uh, didn't realize you were harboring all this resentment.
Sami: I have not been resentful. (May 7)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sami: I will admit I was a little awkward, but that's just because I didn't know if I should tell you. I mean, it was obvious you didn't remember, and it just was weird. And, you know, we've kind of... well, we're friends, right? So I guess we should probably talk about what happened, right?
EJ: Mm. Probably not so much the "what" but the "why," right?
Sami: Yeah, okay. Do you know why you did it?
EJ: Yeah, oh, absolutely. I'm sure. (May 7)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sami: So you know why you kissed me?
EJ: You're beautiful, Samantha. I mean beautiful. And I've always been attracted to you. We have two kids together, you know, so... I just must have thought that, uh... I was in a different time and place... obviously, because, you know... [Clears throat] It's been a long time since we had any of those feelings.
Sami: [Chuckles] Right.
EJ: And obviously we don't have any in the here and now.
Sami: No.
EJ: So I suppose what I'm saying is, uh, I don't want this to be awkward or uncomfortable. The kiss, you know, it was... it was, um... came from a hit on the head, you know?
Sami: Right.
EJ: I was confused and disoriented. And, uh, I'm sorry if I caused you any distress. I apologize.
Sami: Well, I'm glad we, um, got it cleared up.
EJ: Yeah. Absolutely. Me too. Very glad. (May 7)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sami: If I haven't said it already, um, I'm grateful.
EJ: Grateful for what?
Sami: You... 'cause you're, um, understanding, and, you know, we
're cool now and, uh, you know, because we've become, dare I say it, friends.
EJ: You may dare, Samantha. You may dare. (May 7)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sami: Where are you going?
EJ: Swimming. You remember when I did that thing to my shoulder? I promised Lexie I'd do a hundred laps in the pool, otherwise she's gonna send me to some orthopedic guy.
Sami: A hundred laps?
EJ: Hundred laps.
Sami: You can't possibly be serious. I couldn't even do one.
EJ: Samantha, more than anybody I know, you can do whatever you set your mind to.
Sami: Thanks, coach. (May 7)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sami: EJ... I'm not gonna get in a bathing suit in front of people.
EJ: What are you talking about? Look at you. I mean, you're beautiful. You're--you're perfect. Tell me something. Is the real reason you don't want to do this because you're nervous that I might kiss you again? Hmm? (May 7)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sami:But I'm not teasing about how I don't want to go swimming, 'cause running is my exercise, anyway, so swimming is not really my thing.
EJ: Okay. If you don't like swimming, you don't like swimming. Hey! Oh! I know someone who likes swimming, though.
Johnny: I want to go swimming.
EJ: Where'd you get that idea from?
Sami: EJ. But you know what? Uh, Johnny, you can't, 'cause remember, daddy's--hurt his shoulder.
EJ: I have a sore shoulder. You know what that means? That means mommy has to come along and supervise.
Johnny: Please, mommy.
EJ: Oh. He said, "please."
Sami: Oh, you're so busted. Okay. All right, Johnny. Okay, I'll put your swimsuit on you. Come on. Let's go. [Laughs](May 7)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Calliope: So after Sami hid the baby from the father, she still ended up back with EJ?
Anna: It's a little more complicated than that, but honestly, though, I think he still has feelings for Sami.
Calliope: Even after she lied to him?
Anna: I know. I know it sounds crazy. But it is true. (May 7)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sami: Well, if you want, I could try to work through that knot for you.
EJ: Really? You would?
Sami: At one point, I even considered going to massage school. Sit.
EJ: Thank you. (May 7)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EJ: Mm-hmm. Oh. Ah.
Sami: Stop being such a baby.
EJ: I'm not being a baby. Oh, no, really, Samantha. You don't have to continue to show me how little you care for me. Ah. I know you, uh... can only have feelings for one man.
Sami: Yeah. But that's never gonna happen. (May 7)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anna: It's really no secret, the fact that EJ never got over Sami. Believe me, I lived in that mansion with Elvis DiMera for a long time before Tony died, and I saw firsthand.
Calliope: That he still loved her?
Anna: Yeah. For better or worse, that woman was his life. They had two children together. (May 7)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sami: Maybe I was doing it too hard. Sorry.
EJ: No, it feels better, though. It does feel better. You're pretty good at that. Maybe you should go to some kind of massage school.
Sami: Well, I was actually going... for a while.
EJ: Really? You were?
Sami: Yeah, and then... [Clears throat] Well, something happened, and, uh, they asked me to leave.
EJ: Uh-huh. Little misunderstanding?
Sami: You could say that.
EJ: Uh-huh. It's their loss.
Sami: That's what my mom always says when things don't go my way. Here, relax.
EJ: Things will go your way, Samantha. They will. You're a very gifted person, you know. All you have to do is believe that.(May 7)
EJ: I kissed you?
Sami: [Chuckles]
EJ: When?
Sami: After you were mugged. On the pier? You were hurt, and you were trying to sit up, and I was trying to help you lay back down, and you grabbed me, and you...
EJ: You're not joking, are you? I kissed you? I kissed you? How did you react?
Sami: You really don't remember?
EJ: I mean, I'm--I'm trying, but, um...

EJ: No, Samantha, I think it was a big deal. (May 7)

Sami: Yeah. Maybe I do. (May 8)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sami: Will... EJ is Johnny and Sydney's father. He was so amazing...when Sydney was missing. He's the reason we got her back. How about the fact that he forgave me for lying to him about Sydney in the first place? Come on, will. He is not a guy you should hate.
Will: So...what are you saying, that you're in love with him again?
Sami: I'm grateful to him. But Will... gratitude is not the same thing as love. I'm not in love with him. Oh, my God, Will, I am not lying!
Will: Yes...you are, because every time you get bent all out of shape like that, you're not telling the truth. You...are...lying. (May 8)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EJ: You know you, um...you can't avoid me forever, Samantha. (May 8)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EJ: Samantha, Rafe isn't coming back. You know that, right?
Sami: Yeah. I know Rafe's not coming back. But that doesn't mean that something's gonna happen between you and me. EJ, we have kids together. That's it. There's nothing else between us.
EJ: Yes, there is. (May 8)
Sami: Yeah. Maybe I do. (May 8)

Sami: I'm grateful to him. But Will... gratitude is not the same thing as love. I'm not in love with him. Oh, my God, Will, I am not lying!
Will: Yes...you are, because every time you get bent all out of shape like that, you're not telling the truth. You...are...lying. (May 8)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EJ: You know you, um...you can't avoid me forever, Samantha. (May 8)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EJ: Samantha, Rafe isn't coming back. You know that, right?
Sami: Yeah. I know Rafe's not coming back. But that doesn't mean that something's gonna happen between you and me. EJ, we have kids together. That's it. There's nothing else between us.
EJ: Yes, there is. (May 8)
EJ: Oh, and Johnny DiMera, proving to be quite a formidable match for EJ DiMera--oh, oh!
Sami: Oh, my goodness, what is happening here? No playing ball in the house.
EJ: It's okay if Daddy says so, isn't it?
Sami: It's not. What if he breaks-- ooh. Is any of this Kate’s? You could break that. (May 13)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sami: Johnny, do not wake up your sister. She will see your jacket after her nap, okay? [Sighs] We could get him a mobster jacket. Then you'd be even.
EJ: I didn't say anything.
Sami: Your not saying anything is very...loud. I moved my kids in here. We're living here with you so that you can be with your kids. But you can't shut them out from the rest of their lives. Johnny loves Rafe. And you have to deal with that.
EJ: I realize that. I do.
Sami: But you sure don't like it. (May 13)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sami: I'm just gonna throw this out there, but if you don't want Johnny to be unhappy with what you do, you could always do something else. You don't have to follow in Stefano’s footsteps, EJ. You don't have to do what DiMeras do. (May 13)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sami: It kind of is. It doesn't matter what Stefano is, what he does. You're you. I mean, believe me, I'm one of your harshest critics. But look at everything that you have done for me in the last couple of months. You've really been there for me. If you want me to tell Johnny, I will. EJ, you're not a good guy. You're a great guy. (May 13)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sami: EJ, I just said something nice to you and you're acting like I slugged you.
EJ: You kind of did. 'Scuse me.
Sami: EJ. I don't see why you can't say it. You're not like Stefano. You're not. I see it so clearly, I... I know sometimes you're influenced by him. But inside, you're... well, let me just say that I hope someday Johnny grows up... to be a man just like his father. (May 13)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sami: I know how much you worry about your kids. But that's part of what makes you a good father. Sydney and Johnny love you. They love you a lot. And no one will ever take your place in their hearts. And I wouldn't have it any other way. (May 13)

EJ: Look, Samantha, just... don't let whatever he said or didn't say reflect on your feelings about your maternal abilities. You're a wonderful mother. I mean, look at everything you've done for your kids this last year. You moved in here. (May 14)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EJ: I mean, after the, you know, the hell we went through over Johnny's custody... I just--I never imagined that we'd be...able to find ourselves in a situation that vaguely resembles domestic bliss.
Sami: Heh! It's pretty vague.
EJ: I think my greatest hope was that we wouldn't find ourselves in a constant state of acrimony. But we've done much better.
Sami: [Sighs] Hate to admit this, but when I found out I was pregnant with Sydney... I thought it was a huge mistake. And now, every minute I spend with her, it's... it's such a joy. And I can't help but think about the lies that I told you about her, and... I don't know how you forgave me for that.
EJ: Well, it's no use dwelling on our mistakes, Samantha. We all have them.
Sami: Yeah, we do. (May 14)

Sami: Yeah, we do. (May 14)
EJ: It was thinking like you that got me in this mess in the first place. I mean, I told Anna to kidnap Sydney. [Guffaws] Why? Because Samantha fell in love with another man, and she lied to me... and I had to get some kind of revenge.
Stefano: Of course.
EJ: I--I watched her not know where her daughter was. I mean, I watched her not know if her daughter was alive or dead. I felt her suffering, and I felt completely vindicated. I did. Not even that was enough. I had...[Laughs] To go and do the worst thing that you could possibly do to a mother. And you know what she did? She fought... with everything she had, because that girl was more important than Rafe or anything in the world, save her other children. And I realized something. I realized exactly why she kept that child's existence from me. So if by some miracle, she doesn't find out about what I've done... I'm not gonna trick her into staying in this house with me anymore.
Stefano: Dear me. I don't think that I will ever understand you, Elvis.
EJ: Don't you understand, father? It won't work. Samantha's not here because of me. She's in this house because of Will! The reason they're killing each other is because of me. So if she wants to take her children and live in her house, I'm okay with that. (may 17)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sami: All right, how many you want?
EJ: Uh-huh. Ah, I'll take two.
Sami: One, two. You guys in?
Will: We'll take three.
Sami: Three cards for gentleman Johnny DiMera. Hey, hey, hey. [Taps table] Decorate the mahogany there, buddy.
EJ: Oh, yeah, that's Irish Brady for, "put your cash on the table." Everybody, first bets in.
Johnny: An elephant.
EJ: An elephant, yeah? I got a train. A train beats and elephant.
Sami: Well, the dealer does not have any elephant, so I'm gonna have to fold.
EJ: [Laughing]
Sami: It's pretty intimidating stuff.
Will: Well, now it's us against your dad.
EJ: Okay.
Will: And from here on in...
Johnny: I'll show you. An elephant.
Will: A raise.
EJ: You got an elephant.
Sami: Wow!
EJ: I'll see your elephant...
Sami: You are a mad gambler there, Johnny.
EJ: I'm gonna raise you a giraffe.
Will: You know, now we can pretend to have stuff that we don't really have. Everybody except for mom. Here.
Sami: Excuse me? I am an excellent poker player.
Will: Aw, mom, your poker face won't work on me. I can tell exactly what you're thinking. (may 17)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EJ: What I want is for you to be happy. So I hope you're not upset with me for taking matters into my own hands. (May 17)

Sami (About Sydeny):You two have a very special bond.
EJ: She adores you, Samantha. I mean, you see her face light up when you walk into a room.
Sami: I appreciate you saying that, but, I don't know, with you, there's something special. I mean, even though you were apart for all those months when Anna had her, there's just a connection between the two of you. (May 18)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sami: I, um... I have a confession to make.
EJ: What's that?
Sami: I'm jealous of you.
EJ: Why? 'Cause I can put babies to sleep?
Sami: Not just that. I am. I'm jealous of all that time you had with Sydney when she was a baby. All the times you got to sing her to sleep and give her a bath and change her diaper and watch her grow. I feel like such a newcomer in her life.
EJ: Well, not anymore, you know. I mean, we live here together in this house. We're a family. And, Samantha, you have the rest of your life to build a relationship with your daughter.
Sami: 'Cause I've done such a bang-up job with Will.
EJ: Look, Will loves you. Okay? Johnny loves you. Allie loves you. Sydney loves you. (may 18)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EJ: Look, I understand that you're angry. I'm angry. But the most important thing right now is that we have our precious daughter back.
Sami: I know. And I'm glad we have her back, but I want it all. You know, I want her to...
EJ: I know. I know. You want her to call you Mom, and she will. She will. Let's just not make a problem where there isn't one. Okay?
Sami: I can't help it. I love her. I love her so much, and every time I walk in there and get her up in the morning or wake her up from her nap, she's looking up at me with those big, beautiful eyes, and I... I think she's disappointed. I think she wishes I were Nicole. (May 18)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EJ: Look, she might not realize it right now, okay. But at some point, she is going to realize that she has the best mother in the world.
Sami: [Laughs]
EJ: Truly. A mother who is brave, who's nurturing, who's caring... who's gentle... who's wonderful.
Sami: You're a great parent too, EJ. You're all those things. I know I've said it before, but I just can't thank you enough for everything you've done for me the last couple of months. I am grateful to you, okay?
EJ: Shh. Shh. Thank you. Just thank you. (May 18)
EJ: She adores you, Samantha. I mean, you see her face light up when you walk into a room.

Sami: Before you get too high and mighty, I would like to make it clear that you are totally outnumbered here. I am on EJ's side. And I'm gonna make sure you never get anywhere near my children.
EJ: Samantha, this is, um, kind of...
Sami: I just want him to know... that you are never turning any of my children into some sort of creepy junior version of you. And if you even try, if I catch you even trying, it won't be the diabetes that kills you.
Stefano: [Chuckling] My, my, my, my. You're feeling very tough today, huh? Well, no. No, no, I wouldn't even think of such a thing. I will let them learn by their father's shining example. Excuse me. I have some business to take care of.
Sami: [Sighs]
EJ: So, um... how much of that did you hear?
Sami: Enough... enough to know you have my back. (May 21)
EJ: Samantha, this is, um, kind of...

Sami: [Sighs]
EJ: So, um... how much of that did you hear?
Sami: Enough... enough to know you have my back. (May 21)
Sami: What just happened?
EJ: Ooh, um, well, I mean, I think, you know--I'm--I'm guessing that, um... if we hadn't... things might've gone a little bit, uh, further.
Sami: What?
EJ: If we hadn't stopped, you know, when we did, we might've, um, regretted it, maybe in the--in the morning. (May 24)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EJ: Yeah. You know what, um, really makes me happy is that we've been able to put aside all the animosity that used to ruin things for us and--and--and we're working together, you know, which, um, is--is really enjoyable. (May 24)
EJ: Ooh, um, well, I mean, I think, you know--I'm--I'm guessing that, um... if we hadn't... things might've gone a little bit, uh, further.
