The Rich and the Ruthless, brought to you by Tricker and Cramble and the WNB

Network, delivering truth, not fluff.

We keep you clinging to a cliff while inspiring you during commercials to keep

your laundry white and those chocolate cakes moist.

20 years of aspirational escapism from your own damn dirty problems.

Really? I want to do a thank you for bringing me back to the rich and the

ruthless.

I was so depressed.

Allison even took my R &R exact vanity license plates.

Well, you never should have schemed to take over my dad's show.

You should have consulted me first.

But that's all in the past.

Here's to the future.

Future.

And don't get it twisted.

You've been demoted to associate producer.

Yeah, don't remind me.

Punishment. It's a better look.

Rock is still giving me shade for rehiring you.

But I recognize you work for me now.

Yeah.

She's hot.

I like small skirts.

Marooned on a deserted island, inhabited by cannibals, and still you betray me?

That's not right.

Jill, you... Ruby, what are you doing here? The show is shooting in

Burbank. Uh, yeah, Kitty, I... Well, come in, come in, come in, you're out.

in, sit, have a seat.

Yeah.

You'll have to forgive the towel turban. You can see I haven't had time to dye

my hair. And also the robe. But I have to memorize 35 pages by next week, and I

must stay in character.

Yeah, I know.

Yeah. I love being back on the show. I mean, I absolutely love it, but it's

grueling, huh?

With all of the yoga classes and the ballet lessons and...

All of the dieting and the colonics. My sober coach and my psychic.

Yes, well, it's all quite a bit.

Of course, there's all the professional jealousy.

Bags of fan mail that I've got to answer.

But I'm getting it done. Why are you here?

Um, I just wanted to check on Augustus and see how he was doing.

He's fine. Better than ever.

Yeah, since he's been home these past six months, especially with all of the

special physical therapy I've been giving him.

Okay.

Yeah, good. Great.

Is he around for me to talk to? No, at a doctor's appointment. Shall I give him

a message from you, perhaps?

Just let him know I stopped by.

Well, you really do care about him, don't you, child?

Not like the other people trying to collect a check.

Oh.

I went out of character on that one.

Yeah, I'm sorry.

I should go.

Oh, nonsense, nonsense. You stay right here and run lines with me.

Okay?

What's for breakfast?

Put on a shirt, Max. Breakfast was a half hour ago.

And try not oversleeping with all the work we have to do around here.

Hold up there, Tiger. Why do you think I rehired Randall?

Yes, I know, and nobody's happy about it, especially Daddy.

Look, I know I scheduled a show to be dark today to save on budget, but it

doesn't mean we get a pass.

Yeah, I undid all that.

You did what?

No, we don't have time for this show to be dark again. It's business as usual in

Burbank. Oh, God, I can't stand you.

No, that's not true.

Yeah, I guess I get you've always been kind to me, so... And why wouldn't I be?

You're like a daughter to Augustus and I, except for the time when he would...

Well, the time he'd come home and I'd get my panties all in a twist when he'd

dote on you night and day and day and night, night and day.

I got over it, and then there was that nasty story that ran in TMZ.

Yeah, except that...

You're having an affair with him, fake news.

So run lines with me, please?

I'd love to.

Great. Ruled on a deserted island inhabited by cannibals, and still

you betray me?

Look, I'm sorry to get the memo, but yesterday was a hot spring spa day for

right?

I might be, though. Keep trying to make me look incompetent. It won't work.

You know all that caffeine's back in reproductive organs, right?

So let me get this straight. Not only did you learn how to produce a soap

in jail, but you also got a medical degree?

Wow, we should be so proud of you.

The passage is passing.

I see you letting our differences stop good breeding.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Would you quit it?

Look, are you still twisted that mom made me cook like a head writer?

Look, when Dad's 100%, you two control freaks can be in charge again.

You're a piece of work.

You know, while you were out there trying to find yourself, I was here

my butt with Dad to keep our show running after Larry Sabino kicked us off

lot. And Mom just hands you a pass like some returning hero and makes you equal?

Unbelievable.

Is that what really has you heated?

What? What could it be that I'm back, and that us living together, working

together, you can't pretend that I don't exist?

You're easy to forget by staying away.

But now I'm back.

And that fire between us as kids hasn't gone anywhere.

Matter of fact, it's gotten stronger.

There's nothing between us.

But boo, I tried to warn you. Do I look like I just fell off a turnip truck?

Let's get it. Come on, come on, come on.

Yeah, I'm sorry. Those lines aren't in here. Yeah, because I added them for

flavor. You kids don't understand.

You have to get in the sandbox. You have to play. You have to find the wiggle

room between the rules.

You have to find the magic between the lines. The magic in the lines. Kitty,

you bring it on in? Can you come back to reality with me just for one moment?

I'm sorry.

I have to go to set. I'm sorry. Can you let Augustus know I stopped by?

You look amazing, by the way. All right, Ruby.

Go, girl, go.

Creepy. Bye -bye. Thank you for running lines.

Marooned on a deserted island inhabited by cannibals.

And still you betray me.

Yeah,

that's it.

Sister Patricia, how you doing this morning? I'm doing good, praise God. Did

hear about Miss Wilson, son?

Oh, honey, he's back in again.

Oh, honey. I've been talking about him.

You know my heart, and I really did try to

forgive my broke -butt husband, Randall.

And I asked that the urge to kick him in the balls and put him out that door.

I just couldn't help myself.

When he lost his job and he almost cost me my job.

Humiliating.

To add insult to injury.

None of the other sisters were trying to hire me.

Moi? With all the experience that I had in the business.

Just the same usual suspects.

The McSweeners and the Davisons.

I almost started back drinking.

I thought about pawning my ring.

I almost went back to the pole.

I've worked really hard to become a legitimate soap star.

You know, I just think that my sins are a little bit too big for this little

church, so I'm... You know what?

You know what? Hey, you look just like that girl on my soaps that I look at.

Sure enough is Rory Lovekin from the rich and the ruthless trying to be all

incognito up in here.

Can't fool me, because I've been watching you forever.

What you doing here anyway?

I'm saying my prayers.

Ladies, you got me. I am Alison Fairchild Roberts.

Soap star legit.

I play Rory Lufkin on The Rich and the Ruthless. I am the leading lady.

Autograph right now. Because Gertrude and them at the bingo tonight ain't

to believe this.

I'm going to make this exception one time.

But speaking from a celebrity perspective, I just want you to know

a little inappropriate.

All right, sister.

In the church.

Because when we come to the church, we need to get the word, too.

We need that up to God.

Here's your pen.

Well, go ahead.

I'm going to leave.

Yeah, these benches, like, they're really small.

Oh, this is just temporary, honey.

Yeah, it sure is.

Well, I might come back with you. Good day. Good day, ladies.

How you doing?

I am so sorry that I'm running a bit late today.

But I just wanted to thank you all for your patience and your understanding as

we continue to have Bible study in the Children's Chapel while our sanctuary.

is under construction.

Amen? Amen.

Amen.

Praise the Lord. Hallelujah.

Amen.

I heard that.

That's Pastor Jerome Bell.

He's the pastor. He's about to begin now.

Let us turn to Galatians 5, verses 16 and 17.

This I say then, walk in spirit.

And ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

The lust of the flesh.

You see, it says, for the flesh lusteth against the spirit and the spirit

against the flesh.

As these are contrary, the one to the other.

And so ye cannot do the things that ye would.

Or that ye could.

And though we are few in numbers.

Yeah, you see, the miracle isn't in how many we have, you see, or rather the

miracle within each other.

Amen? Amen. I got to say amen to that. Amen.

Amen, Pastor.

Ladies, I...

Ladies, I just want to thank you for attending the midday prayer.

And if there's anyone here who has been here for the first time. I am brand

spanking new, Pastor.

Well, welcome.

Yeah, welcome to our spiritual oasis for the thirsty.

And I am so very parched.

Yeah, excuse me.

What did you say your name was? I didn't, but my name is Allison.

You're right.

Yeah.

You can have a seat now.

Let us bring our petitions to the heavens for the sick and the shut in.

I've been shut in and I've been shut down.

You don't shut up. What she mean is shh. Just be quiet. Are you a Christian?

You see, the Word tells us that we must pray for those who can't pray for

themselves. So let us pray today for those who are less fortunate.

Oh, Pastor, you must be reading minds up in here because I have been so

unfortunate lately. I just, I don't know.

Oh, Lord, send me a Savior.

I'm feeling faint. Is anybody else hot?

Oh, my goodness. Oh, my goodness. Yeah.

My Lord, send me a savior.

Oh, my God.

We better get us some water. Maybe we got some holy water back there. Yeah,

well, you better get a big bucket of it.

I don't know why Tamara called you back.

Me? Look at you. You're the one with the baby.

Girl, please. I dropped this nine -pound bunny and snapped back like a rubber

band. You know that. Stop playing.

Girl, you got to keep it right and tight in this business, okay? Out of sight,

out of mind.

Ain't that right, Victor?

So you didn't answer my question. Why are you here?

Because I'm right for the role.

Why? Is you nervous?

Don't flatter yourself. I just feel bad spending all that rent money on some

hair and some tarjay.

Girl, are you blind? This is Versace, and the hair is real.

In your dreams. You know that's dead girl's hair, right?

What? Yeah, there's some poor little spirit girl right now following you

wondering, why are you wearing her hair?

Look, I don't have time for your foolishness.

I know that I'm here, and I'm getting this role.

They should have offered me this bad boy like yesterday, making me audition.

And you know those TV White House preemptions have more drama than a soap.

Audience is shrinking.

Everyone's watching CNN instead of the story.

Yeah, and none of that matters to me. Because when the fans see me on the rich

and the ruthless, they all gonna tune back in. Why? Because I raised the

butter.

You mean the bar?

No, the butter.

Okay, so you don't even read the trades.

Hollywood Reporter?

Daytime Confidential? I know that one.

I learned the bubble bits from my grandma.

She used to watch three soaps a day. We'd be there all day.

She'd sit between her legs like she braved my hair.

You and everybody else.

The telenovelas, those guys were so fun. I didn't understand anything they were

saying, but now I watch seven hours of daytime television a day, even with a

newborn. And you're proud of that?

Yeah.

People are going to go crazy when I tweet that I just booked this hot new

storyline.

And nobody does hot like me.

We'll see about that.

Oh, girl, do your homework.

You didn't see me at Sean Paul's last dance hall music video?

I was the one in the back on the left with the zebra print, the ombre hair,

the blue contacts.

You better study this industry you're trying to get into and learn from a pro.

And between me and you, Augustus nearly died last year.

You a liar.

Yeah, the girl trying to do too much in Jamaica. I see you've been taking them

shady online acting classes.

You better learn how to multitask, like me.

Thanks for the tip. Now, if you don't mind, I'd like to stay in the zone so I

can nail this gig, and I can buy me a new car so I can get off the bus. Oh,

since you're on this inside track, you should know that Randall got fired.

That's yesterday's news.

Max rehired Randy when his mommy took over.

I wish I was his mommy.

And what is taking so long? I had to get my hair done for my audition.

What? John Singleton's new show.

Who's your agent?

Wheezy. Isn't that Calista Jeffrey's agent? Mm -hmm.

You did great, honey, but you read a little too young.

You know, back in the day, I wanted to be a soap opera actress, but they told

I was too ugly to be a leading lady and not ugly enough to be a character

actress.

What are you going to do?

You get your stars from your scars.

Oh, but you know, R &R is looking for an intern.

Interested? Oh my God, yes.

Oh, so cute.

Be flexible. We'll be in touch. Thank you.

Loser.

Okay.

A, B, C, D, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P.

Sally sells seashells at the seashore. Sally sells seashells at the seashore.

Okay.

I got this.

Okay. Mom, you'll be right back. This won't take but a minute.

Heaven! You ready?

Finally!

I get it. You just want to save the best for last.

Yeah. See, well, I would ask you to wish me good luck, but we both know I don't

need it.

Girl, bye.

That's okay, baby. Mommy's next. She's the next big thing, isn't she?

And she's next in line.

Max and Randall are running my character, Ruby Stargazer, into the

Repent! Go to hell. I've been there.

Because I have a whole lot of luck. I have a whole lot of flesh.

I know what you let Maya do to me.

I was on soap. On the radio.

This one goes deep.

This is serious.

I cannot wait to tell my granny I met you.

You quit playing girl.

Bird by.

Max has been writing the most sexy, steamy bedroom scenes for us.

Sounds like a soap opera to me. No, I'm rich.

I get what I want.
