Nash: Excuse me. I'm sorry to bother you. Have you seen her? (he
shows Cristian a picture of Jessica)
Cristian: Why do you want to know?
Nash: Because I'm looking for her.
Cristian: Well, are you sure she wants to be found?
Cristian: You're Tess' boyfriend, right?
Nash: Yes. And the source of all her problems, right?
Cristian: I didn't say that. I haven't met Tess yet.
Nash: That you know of.
Cristian: Right -- that I know of.
Nash: I know Tess can take care of herself and she wouldn't do anything
to endanger the baby, but I would feel a heck of a lot better if I knew where
she was.
Cristian: While she's still Tess?
Nash: Excuse me?
Cristian: Well, it seems to me you have a real interest in keeping
Tess in charge because if Jessica came back, she'd go straight to my
brother.
[A paternity test on Tess/Jessica's baby is now impossible because the
amniotic fluid sample is gone]
Nash: Somebody snuck into the hospital and destroyed the sample.
Cristian: Jessica would never do something like that.
Nash: Yeah, right.
Nash: Thanks for --
Cristian: Not thinking you're a jerk?
Nash: Not judging. It's a rare quality in this 'burb.
[Natalie is surprised that Cristian took sides with Nash earlier]
Cristian: I wasn't taking sides. I was trying to help him find Tess
-- or Jess. It's obvious the guy's all torn up about her. I know what that
feels like.
