Allison Janney: Lyla

Nurse Betty

Lyla

[Betty approaches George, Lyla and the rest of the "A Reason To Love" cast]
George McCord: Do I know you?
Betty Sizemore: Of course.
[giggling]
Betty Sizemore: Don't you remember?
George McCord: [hesitantly] I... I take it I should.
Betty Sizemore: Silly! It's me!
[looks at Lyla and the other two actors]
Betty Sizemore: We were engaged.
Lyla Branch: You were engaged?
George McCord: [shocked at what he heard] I... I beg your pardon?
Betty Sizemore: Letting you go, that was the biggest mistake of my life. And it's a mistake I've had to live with for six years, but I've put it behind me now. And I just hope that you can put it behind you, too. I've missed you. I've missed you, David.
[George, Lyla and the other actors laugh at Betty when they realize she's quoting the lines from an episode of "A Reason To Love"]
Friend #1: That's very nice.
Lyla Branch: That was very good.
George McCord: Greatly appreciate that. Wow. That was, wow!
Betty Sizemore: The day I left you, I just drove and drove. I drove all day and all that night, I just kept driving. I stopped at this old country church, and the pastor let me in. And I sat...
Lyla Branch: [interrupts] ... In the very first pew, where we would have sat on our wedding day. I can't believe I remembered that! Although I mean I should, I wrote it. But that was seven years ago, and you're quoting it verbatim. I'm flattered I think, or frightened. One or the other.

George McCord: [in an angry tone] You're not an actress, you're nothing but a soap opera groupie, aren't you? You have nothing better to do, do you? Well, why don't you get a fucking life, and stop ruining mine!
[Betty slowly begins to come out of her fugue state and realizes she is on the set of "A Reason To Love"]
George McCord: She gave me this one shot, one shot in my life to do this, and you have destroyed it! Thank you very much! Thanks, Betty, that was great!
[Betty is still in a daze as George is berating her in front of the cast and crew by singling her out, doing a pointing motion, while everyone is in shock at his behavior]
George McCord: She's fucking crazy! Don't look at me like that! You! tell them who I... Hey! Hey! Tell them who I am. Tell them.
Betty Sizemore: George McCord
George McCord: [sarcastically] No, no. No, no, no. No, not now. I am David. I am Dr. David Ravell! I'm the great Dr. David Ravell, right? Loma Vista's greatest. I'm the doctor! I don't think that! She thinks that!
[shocked at what has transpired]
George McCord: What?, Who did you call me?
Lyla: She called you George... George!

George McCord: What about my feelings about all this?
Lyla Branch: I don't really care about your feelings. I did like your icy-water idea the other day, though.
George McCord: Yeah?
Lyla Branch: I'm toying with the idea of killing David Ravell off in a boating accident.
George McCord: One of those castaway deals with Chloe and...
[Lyla shakes her head no, implying her intentions of writing George's character off the show if he doesn't meet her request to bring Betty back]
George McCord: No, no, no. No. Don't... Don't try the blackmail bullshit with me, Lyla, cause it's kinda... it's beneath you. So don't even think about it. It's an emphatic no, missy. Poom! End of story, right there.
