Um, has ANYONE here EVER seen a screen with giant letters screaming ACCESS DENIED (other than on TV or as a joke screensaver)?

When Jackson told Erica that he's been approached about going back to being D.A., how many of you uttered the same "Oh!" of dismay that Erica did?

I have a message for Bianca: "YOU *GO* GIRL!" In case any of you missed the scene, Laura had invited Bianca over to visit on the pretext of making up. In reality, she just wanted to gush over the hot sex she and Leo had in the car the night before. More to the point, she wanted Bianca to gossip about it so that Greenlee would hear about it, because Greenlee would not believe it coming from Laura. The text of the scene was as follows:

Laura: "Bianca, I'm not using you!" Bianca: "Laura, I don't know if you meant to, but that's why you brought me over here today -- so that I could tell Greenlee your news." Laura: "Look, I don't care if you talk to Greenlee or not, ok? I'm sorry I brought it up!" Bianca: "You DID bring it up, and I think I know why -- you still have doubts about Leo." Laura: "Bianca, I TOLD you! My marriage is better than ever! If anyone has doubts, it's YOU! You're jealous!" Bianca: "Are you KIDDING?" Laura: "No, I WISH. [pityingly] But I'm never going to play for your side. And I guess you just can't accept that. You still have these feelings for me." Bianca: "No, I DON'T. Not anymore. You know, I was attracted to you, and whether you know it or not, you LIKED it! You WANTED me to want you until Leo came along." Laura: "Bianca, that is NOT true!" Bianca: "You have no IDEA how selfish you are, Laura! I mean, here I am telling you about this horrible night I had last night, and all you can say is, 'Oh, gee, I'm sorry,' and then go back to talking about Leo!" Laura: "You're exaggerating." Bianca: "No, I'm NOT. Laura, you NEED people to love you, and you don't know how to love them BACK. That is something that you have to work on, but I can't help you. I'm moving on. Scratch that -- I HAVE moved on!" She stomps out. BRAVO! Laura squints, then calls Leo and pouts, demanding that he come home.

LOD:
Leo to Brooke: "What do they call that kind of treatment, NEPOTISM? Well, I'll tell you what -- I have been called a LOT of things in my lifetime, but I have NEVER been called a NEPOT!" [which he pronounced as "knee-pot"] A few moments later, Edmund informs him that there was no such word :-)
