E: I'd have to say I am, too.

Bobbie comes over to the table and takes Monica back to Monica's office.

B: How are you doing pal?

M: To be honest, I have had better times. At least Dorman's gone, but

attitude.

B: Oh my, what's wrong with Emily?

Lyrics:

Close the door

Shut the world away

All the fight's gone from this wounded heart

Across the floor

Dreams and shadows play

Like wind blown refugees

>In Switzerland, we get a glimpse of Lesley and her visitor together.

The visitor is Rick Webber.<

Call the man

Who deals in love beyond repair

He can heal the world

Of hearts in need of care

Shine the light ahead

When the next step is unclear

Call the man

He's needed here

>A.J. is at Jake's Bar, fighting the urge to drink.<

I close my eyes

I remember when

Your sweet love filled this empty room

>Emily and Lucky are at the docks, Emily finally breaks lose and runs

off.<

The tears I cry

Won't bring it back again

Unless the lonely star should fall

>Taggert visits Keesha at General Hospital.<

Call the man

Who deals in love beyond repair

He can heal the world

Of hearts in need of care

Shine a light ahead

When the next step is unclear

Call the man

He's needed here

>Emily runs home and gets on the phone to Matt, planning a meeting. When

Alan and Monica come knocking on her door.<

Needed in the chaos and confusion

>From the plains to city hall

Needed where the proud who walk

The wire are set to fall

>Bobbie goes to the Brownstone to see Lucas, when she sees Carly lying

on the sidewalk bruised and beaten.<

Call the man

Who deals in once upon a time

Maybe he can mend this broken heart of mine

Shine a light ahead

Now the future isn't clear

Call the man

He's needed here

Call the man

He's needed here

lawyer.

J: I don't think I want to get back into corporate law.
