Jax: My hand's going to be fine.
Carly: Can i take you home?
Jax: That's why i called jerry. He's going to drive me, so -- do we need to do any more paperwork?
Leyla: Just one more signature.
Carly: I can --
jax: No, jerry can sign for me.
Jerry: Yes, the duties of an elder sibling. Thank you, nurse mir. May i call you leyla?
Leyla: You can call me nurse mir. Feel better.
Jax: Thanks.
Carly: I'd like to talk for a minute.
Jax: My only concern is morgan. Did you tell him yet?
Carly: No, i took him to the shore for a few days so we -- so i could think things through.
Jax: Ok, well, that's your choice, but if you want to tell him together, just call my office --
carly: Don't do this, jax.
Jason: You're a mother. There's too much at risk.
Elizabeth: And i can be a good mother and still make a place for you. Why is it that you can't make a place for me?
Jason: Because you're not -- you're not thinking this through.
Elizabeth: I -- i've thought about nothing else. I know what it would mean.
Jason: What, sneaking around and meeting in secret --
elizabeth: Being together. And it wouldn't be perfect, but it would be worth it.
Jason: Until one of my enemies use you as leverage against me.
Elizabeth: I'm not afraid.
Jason: I am afraid. If anything happened to you, i couldn't take it.
Elizabeth: Well, i can't take being without you.
Edward: John zacchara is a mobster.
Mrs. Albright: He is?
Epiphany: Mr. Quartermaine, please stick to the facts.
Edward: His father runs one of the biggest crime families in the northeast.
Ron: Allegedly.
Lou: He's not on trial for the stuff his father's done.
Ron: Thank you.
Edward: The zaccharas are a pack of killers, ok?
Epiphany: Look, if you want to discuss the details of this trial, that is fine, but please keep your personal opinions to yourself.
Edward: I just -- i don't understand. I just don't understand how anyone who can read the newspaper has not read about all the blood and violence that the zaccharas brought to new york, and they've done the same thing to our city.
Woman: Two d.E.A. Agents were killed on the docks just last week.
Edward: Right.
Enzo: You don't know it was the zaccharas who were responsible.
Edward: We know that john zacchara stabbed logan hayes, and you know what he did? He put this poor, defenseless little girl up on the witness stand to take the blame for it.
Epiphany: Your granddaughter by marriage.
Ron: What?
Epiphany: In the interest of full disclosure.
Edward: Well, but that -- that has nothing to do with the case.
Ron: No, she was in love with the guy. She was up there trying to save him.
Enzo: It gives you a reason to hate john zacchara, just to want to see him out of her life for good.
Edward: I don't want to see him get away with murder, damn it.
Mrs. Albright: The boy was just trying to protect and defend his sister. Oh, i know that it's a terrible thing that the son of the special prosecutor died, but it's plain as day that all he's trying to do is to get revenge.
Lou: That's right.
Mrs. Albright: And i will not have a part of that.
Enzo: I'm with you.
Woman: Now that you mention it, mrs. Albright, that doesn't seem right.
Edward: Oh, please, what she's saying is beside the point.
Mrs. Albright: Ms. Johnson, you -- you are the foreperson of the jury, but perhaps i have said too much.
Woman: That's what we're here for.
Mrs. Albright: Well, it just seems terribly wrong that we're going to take this boy's life when all he did was try to protect his sister.
Claudia: Did you hear something about how the jury might come back?
Ric: No, i'm just saying don't pop the cork on the champagne just yet. Look, you pay me to be prepared for anything and for my instincts, which is why i agreed to let your sister testify.
Claudia: Thank you for that.
Ric: Yeah, well, we had to come back with something strong after what baldwin did to lulu.
Johnny: Yeah, well, you've almost got as much riding on this as i do. As you know, my father doesn't take well to disappointment.
Ric: Yeah, i took a chance that your sister could be as convincing as she claimed. Boy, did you deliver. You may have saved your brother's life. It's very convincing.
Claudia: Well, the fear was very real for me.
Ric: Yeah, what else? How much of the story was true?
Claudia: You sure you want to know? Aren't you worried about suborning perjury?
Ric: No, i did that the minute i put you back up on the stand. I knew you were going to lie. I'm just curious. The best lies usually have some truth in them. Yours?
Claudia: You want to know if I slept with logan hayes?
Lulu: You seem tired, mom.
Laura: I -- i don't want you to worry.
Lulu: Well, what do the doctors say?
Laura: That i'm making progress.
Lulu: I just -- i think that
nikolas and lucky should be involved in this process.
Laura: No, no, i don't want them to know.
Lulu: Why?
Laura: Because of the look on your face when you saw me. You thought that i was going to fade away again.
Lulu: But this is time that they could be having with you, too.
Laura: I know, and as much as i want that, i feel the best way i can protect them is not to let them know until we're sure that my recovery is going to be permanent.
Lulu: But we all love you. We all deserve to have you.
Sam: You're doing a really good job at looking cool with all this.
Lucky: I know this date is a means to an end. It's what happens after jerry takes the bait that worries me.
Sam: I already told you that i can handle myself.
Lucky: Yeah, and jerry is a psychopath.
Sam: He's a guy.
Lucky: Who can smell a setup.
Sam: I thought you were ok with this.
Lucky: I just want you to -- just don't forget who you're dealing with.
Sam: Me? My mother is the one that needs to be reminded that jerry is not this reformed character. She needs to be reminded that he is still mr. Craig, the psycho who took a whole hotel full of people hostage, who is using her because she's the d.A., And who's pedaling pharmaceuticals that aren't only useless but poison.
Lucky: One piece of proof. That's all we need, ok? I just -- you don't have to finish this by yourself.
Sam: I know, ok? I know i'm not a hero. I just played one on tv, and once we do set this straight, i think we should celebrate.
Lucky: And what did you have in mind? Something specific?
Sam: Oh, i have had something very good in mind. How about waking up to you every morning in bed?
Lucky: That can be arranged.
Sam: Good.
[Knock on door]
lucky: Ok, don't worry. I'm going to -- i'm going to get out with the terrace.
Jerry: Hello.
Sam: Hello.
Jerry: For you, sweet sam.
Sam: Thank you.
Jerry: Well, this is an evening i'm very much looking forward to.
Jason: You don't want this kind of life.
Elizabeth: Jason, don't tell me what i want.
Jason: What do you do, spend all your days keeping track of your lies and making excuses so you can sneak off to see me for a couple hours only to find out that i can't make it because of business?
Elizabeth: I know there will be disappointments.
Jason: And guilt, not just for the lies but all the time you're going to miss with your kids just so you can sneak off to see me.
Elizabeth: Nobody spends 24/7 with their kids, and i'm not going to feel guilty for having a life and for spending time with my son's father.
Jason: What are you -- you're going to tell lucky? You know, secrets get out sooner or later.
Elizabeth: You don't think i've considered all this, that i've gone over this in my head a thousand times? I have already promised myself that if it gets too painful, i'll walk away, but that is for me to decide when and how much i can handle. Aren't you the one that's always saying that people should be able to make their own choices?
Jason: Yes, but i don't think you can live with this choice and what it's going to mean.
Elizabeth: There's this college professor, randy pausch. I'm sure you've heard of him. Well, he was dying, and he got all these people together in a room to give what he called the last lecture, and he talked about achieving your dreams and brick walls and that they are there for a reason, to let you prove how badly you want something. I do not want you to tell me that this is going to be easy or that there are going to be brick walls. I just need you to tell me how you feel.
Jason: Doesn't matter how i feel.
Elizabeth: Jason, i am standing here with my heart in my hands. Don't tell me it doesn't matter.
Jason: I'm just trying to protect you.
Elizabeth: I don't want you to protect me. I just want you to tell me if you feel the same way or if i'm just crazy.
Jason: No, you're not crazy. Edward: The designated hitter ruined the game of baseball.
Ron: Yeah, you would think that.
Mrs. Albright: I have a nephew just like that poor johnny zacchara. His trouble always seems to find him, but he's a good boy, and i see that goodness in johnny, too, and now you've all heard about reasonable doubt, right? You understand what that means, don't you? Well, no person of conscience could dare to convict this boy after listening to his sister's testimony.
Edward: And there's no instant replay in baseball.
Ron: I think it should be a constitutional amendment.
Edward: We -- we weren't talking about the case. We were just talking about --
epiphany: I -- i appreciate the fact that you're sticking to the rules, but that mrs. Albright -- she's an entirely different matter.
Edward: What?
Laura: I confided in you because you were in here and you needed me.
Lulu: So it doesn't mean you like me best?
[Laura chuckles]
laura: Let's just wait a little longer, ok? Pretty soon the doctors will have run all the tests and they'll know for sure.
Lulu: Ok, fine, i won't tell lucky or nikolas until you're ready.
Laura: Thank you. I really am tired.
Lulu: Ok, i'll leave you so you can get rest.
Laura: Thank you.
Lucky: Hey, you visiting mom?
Lulu: Yeah, it makes me fell better. Hey, come in my room.
Lucky: So i heard you had a pretty rough day at court. Sorry i wasn't there to support you.
Lulu: Yeah, well, it's probably better that you weren't.
Lucky: Well, you took one hell of a risk, lying on the stand, trying to get johnny cleared by saying you killed logan.
Lulu: Yeah, and nobody believed me. I wish i had handled things differently. Well, there's nothing that i can do now.
Lucky: I know that you think i've been the enemy in all of this.
Lulu: Please, lucky, i really don't need a lecture right now.
Lucky: You know, i'm scared. I haven't been sleeping well. It's like i'm afraid if i close my eyes, when i wake up, everything i care about is going to be missing. Someone i love is going to be gone. I don't think i have to tell you how that feels. You know, i haven't been fighting you. I've been fighting for you, looking out for you. It's a promise that i made to mom. And i'm going to keep it. So whether you like it or not, you are stuck with me.
[Lucky and lulu laugh]
lulu: I love you.
Lucky: I love you.
Lulu: I hope there's better days for all of us soon.
Jerry: You know what? I was very pleased that you decided to see me.
Sam: And not surprised?
Jerry: Well, nothing surprises me anymore, darling.
Sam: Oh, that sucks to be you.
Jerry: You're a piece of work. You know that?
Sam: Hey, this coming from a man who had a gun to my head.
Jerry: Well, that was another lifetime, darling.
Sam: And who is now dating my mother.
Jerry: You know what? Your timing truthfully couldn't be more opportune.
Sam: Why is that?
Jerry: Well, you know, my brother's marriage is collapsing, and as sad as it is to watch, it only reaffirms what i already knew. You know, love, commitment. The romantic prospect of two loves converging -- it's a fable. Only a fool would risk his heart.
Sam: Am i -- am i hearing this right? You are actually emotionally invested in this relationship with my mother?
Jerry: No, i'd be an idiot if i did.
Sam: Oh, well, the world is full of them. But that was not an answer.
Jerry: You see, that's what makes you perfect. You are the anti-alexis.
Sam: Meaning what?
Jerry: Meaning that we both know why you invited me here.
Kate: You can't bully me into marrying you.
Sonny: You just can't walk away, kate.
Kate: Just walk away, huh?
Sonny: Yeah, just walk away.
Kate: Yeah, ok, well, since i just walked back into your life, i have been tested, prodded, pushed. I've been shot. I've -- i have lost my job. I've been cheated on, sonny, but i kept coming back, because i gave in to my irrational side, to my romantic side, and the result has been nothing but turmoil.
Sonny: It's called love.
Kate: It's called heartache.
Sonny: That's how you know it's the real thing.
Kate: Well, i need to start thinking with my head again.
Sonny: Great. Then you wouldn't have any problem breaking this mirror now, would you?
Kate: Would you just stop with the damn mirror?
Sonny: Because you're so cool, rational, that you know what? You don't care about bad luck or love, so let's prove that you're thinking with your head and your heart doesn't matter. Let's break the mirror to pieces. We'll put the pieces in the garbage, and we'll let this be over. Better yet... I'll let you do the honors.
Sonny: Break the mirror. Take it. Go ahead. I will believe that we're over, and i will leave you alone.
carly: Is jason home? I really need to talk to him.
Spinelli: Stone cold had work he needed to attend to. Can -- can the jackal be of any assistance?
Carly: Can you use your computer skills to erase the past? Can you get jax to take me back after i slept with sonny? Can you get me back the man irealize was the love of my life as he was walking out the door? Can you do that for me?
Spinelli: If only i could.
Carly: I'm sorry to put this on you. I'm sorry.
Spinelli: No, no, no, i'm -- i'm an excellent dumpee. Can i get you a refreshment while you wait for stone cold?
Carly: Thank you. I'm a mess. I'm going to go upstairs and wash my face. Nikolas: Nadine!
Nadine, you in there?
Sam: I have put in my time trying to live up to other people's expectations. I mean, for a while there, it was jax.
Jerry: Oh, that's right. You were involved with my brother, weren't you?
Sam: Yes, i was, and then jason, and of course -- yes, my most recent disaster, lucky.
Jerry: Oh, yes, sweet sam and the good cop, almost as incongruous as me and the d.A.
Sam: No, you see, lucky and i, that started out as a way for me to be able to stick it to elizabeth. I know you know her. That's lucky's ex. And after a while, he just wanted -- i don't know, somewhat of a normal relationship, and what can i say? I guess i just like a challenge.
Jerry: And danger.
Sam: I did feel like i was going to die of boredom. I must say that, and that's why i kind of let all this happen. That's why i went to work for karpov.
Jerry: Ah, yes, and how do you like your new employer?
Sam: Well, he pays well. That's good, and what can i say?I don't mind taking risks.
Jerry: Yes, good operatives are hard to find.
Sam: Yes, they are. So are people who know how to get the job done, have international connections, move in the highest of circles, legal and otherwise.
Jerry: Was that a proposition?
Sam: I don't know. What do you think?
Jerry: It occurs to me, sweet sam, that you're being a little too friendly
Ric: You know what? This is a colossally bad idea.
Claudia: Come on, just -- it's been a hell of a day. The damage is already done. Consider it an act of kindness.
Ric: I don't do kindness.
Claudia: I don't either. We're going to fake it together, ok? Ok?
Johnny: I thought you guys were done with me.
[Claudia clears throat]
ric: Thank you, officer. One more thing.
Johnny: Hello?
Lulu: Johnny, are you all right?
Johnny: Better now. It's good to hear your voice.
Lulu: I'm sorry i made a mess of things. I'm so sorry.
Johnny: No, all that matters is that you know how much i love you.
Epiphany: It's time we got back to deliberations.
Mrs. Albright: Oh, excuse me. I have to go to the powder room first.
Edward: She seems like such a sweet lady.
Epiphany: I'm telling you, it didn't feel right. She was pushing for the other jurors to acquit.
Ron: Well, maybe it was in reaction to mr. Quartermaine's rush to judgment.
Mrs. Albright: Yes, yes. No, no, i'm making progress. I've already turned two jurors, and i can tell you there'll be two more jurors that --
epiphany: Let me see this. Anthony zacchara, you are so busted.
Sonny: You can't do it.
Kate: Ugh! I am the one who left you on the street corner twice, right? Right? I am the one who left my family, who changed my name, who made myself into kate howard, who rose to the top of my profession. If i can do all that, i can break this damn mirror and i can get back to the life i made for myself.
Sonny: I hope you're wrong.
Kate: I'm a fool.
Sonny: No, no, you're not. You're the woman i love. You're following your heart. It's leading you to me. And i promise you that it's not going to break like that mirror.
Kate: Thanks for the metaphor.
Sonny: What do you expect? I'm from bensonhurst. Once upon a time, i knew a girl who wanted to get out of that life, who knew that life had bigger and better things in store for her... And she went away. She took my -- my heart with her... And now she's got it back. I want to marry you. Will you?
Sep 16, 2008 04:51
Operator's voice: What's the nature of your emergency?
Nikolas: There's a fire at the emily quartermaine clinic on van ness.There's at least one person trapped inside.I need help.
Nikolas: Nadine!Nadine, can you hear me?
Sam: Um, choking as foreplay --that's a little out there forme, but, hey, i'm not going topass any judgment.
Jerry: Smooth recovery, huh?That's one of your specialties,so is subterfuge and this evening reeks of it.I've yet to find a plausible reason why you went from despising me to being weak-kneed with desire with so much as a pause for reflection.
Sam: You do not live in my head,so you wouldn't know how longi've been reflecting, now, wouldyou?It's like i said, i'm tired of being this reformed character.I miss the real sam mccall.Take her or leave her.
Sonny: Once upon a time, i knewa girl who wanted to get out ofthat life, who knew that lifehad bigger and better things in store for her. And she went away and she tookmy heart with her.And now she's got it back.I want to marry you.Will you?
Kate: Yeah.I will mary you.
Carly: I'm sorry.I'm so sorry.
Elizabeth: You want to go after her, don't you?
Nikolas: Nadine.Come on, i'm going to get youout of here.Come on.Let's go.
[Nadine coughing]
Nadine: It's bad.It's really bad.
Nikolas: Come on.
Judge aroyo: Miss johnson, youbetter be sure about this.You're making a very seriousallegation.
Epiphany: Yes, your honor, weare absolutely sure.We caught mrs. Albrightred-handed.Mr. Price was particularlyhelpful.
Ron: Yeah, when we walked up onmrs. Albright, she was using that cell phone and she was saying something about "in the progress of turning the jury."
Epiphany: I'm quite sure that if you check that call log and trace that last number dialed,you will find a directconnection to anthony zacchara.
Judge aroyo: Do you have anything to say, mrs. Albright?
Mrs. Albright: I -- i don't know anthony zacchara. Well, how cold i? No, i'm just -- i'm just a little old lady.
[Epiphany scoffs]
Mrs. Albright: I'm -- i'm on a fixed income. And how -- how could i know the zaccharas? They would never associate with the likes of me.No, i'm -- i just was making a phone call to my niece. It was her birthday, you know,and i missed it.
Edward: She's lying like a rug.
Judge aroyo: I am going to remove you from the jury, mrs. Albright.
Mrs. Albright: Oh, that's the way justice goes, does it? You are guilty until you are proved innocent.
Judge aroyo: I am not about to risk a mistrial on a capitol case. Miss johnson, you know alonzo garza as one of the alternates. He is now a member of the jury. I'm reminding you that the law requires you to restart deliberations as if they had never begun.
Edward: Oh, God, that's absurd. We've been yapping in here for hours.Can't we just bring garza up to speed?
Judge aroyo: No,mr. Quartermaine, you may not.I'll leave you to your work.
Edward: Now? Hey, it's past sundown.
Judge aroyo: What does that have to do with anything?
Edward: No one told us that we would be effectively sequestered. It's a breach of contract.
Judge aroyo: I'm giving you a choice, mr. Quartermaine.Resume deliberations with the rest of the panel, or i'll cite you for contempt of court andyou can spend the rest of the night in jail.
[Epiphany chuckles]
Edward: Oh, for pete's sake.
Judge aroyo: Excellent.You, come with me.
Epiphany: Well, you heard her,everybody.We have to restart the deliberations from thebeginning.
Alonzo: Don't bother.Zacchara is guilty.Let him fry.
Sam: Well, are you going to throttle me? Because if not, i would really like another glass of wine.
Jerry: Nerves of steel, i'll give you that.
Sam: Let's just say i enjoy a challenge.
Jerry: So getting toe-to-toe with -- what is it you call me, a psychopath, gets your blood racing?
Sam: That surprises you? Oh, all right, fine.I actually can't stand you.And since we are putting all the cards on the table, i guess i have to admit that i do -- iunderstand you in ways that i am not anxious for certain people to know, but i almost, on rare occasions, admire you.
Jerry: Yes, yes, no need to pile it on so thick. I don't want to choke.
Sam: You were the one that said we were exactly alike. I'm just agreeing with you. Not that i would get my kicks out of taking a whole lobby full of people hostage and torturing them for 12 hours, but i have broken my share of laws and i have ran my share of scams for several different reasons --money, security, sometimes just for kicks.Does that sound familiar?
Jerry: Hmm.So?
Sam: Lately, i've thought i could do a complete turnaround and embrace the straight life. But you know what? It is not all it's cracked up to be So i started thinking about it, and i am right back where i started -- broke, captain of a ship.Except i have no man or scam to keep my boredom at bay.
Jason: I just know carly does crazy things when she gets mad.
Elizabeth: Then you should catch up with her. I've known you long enough to get how it works. Carly crashes and burns, and you're there to make it right.
Jason: But, elizabeth --
Elizabeth: It's ok.Just go do what you need to do.
Carly: I have to find my purse.I have to get out of here.
Spinelli: Jackal can't help but notice the valkyrie seems even more distressed than before she went upstairs.Perhaps it would be prudent to postpone any use of a motor vehicle. Besides, i have refreshments.
Carly: You tell jason i'm sorry, i didn't mean to interrupt.
Spinelli: Stone cold?
Jason: Whoa, carly, carly. Hey, hey -- don't run off.
Carly: No, you have a life, and i don't know why that possibility never seems to occur to me. I'm sorry.
Jason: Tell me what happened.
Kate: Wow.I feel -- mm -- triumphant. We did it.
Sonny: Yeah, we did it.
Kate: We came dangerously close to losing each other again, but here we stand again. A little battle-weary, perhaps. Bruised, but intact.
Sonny: We beat the odds.
Kate: I think it speaks volumes of how much we love each other.
Sonny: You're going to marry me,right?
[Sonny laughs]
kate: Well, the wedding might be a little smaller than we planned.
Sonny: That's all right.
Kate: I'm sure all the people i told that we cancelled have rescheduled.
Sonny: I'm just glad you're marrying me. I don't want to move the wedding date back.
Kate: Me, neither. I can't wait to be your wife.
Sonny: Ooh.
Diane: I would seriously rethink that if i were you.
[Sirens wailing]
Nikolas: You're ok.
Nadine: I'll be fine.
Nikolas: No, no. Come on, stay with me. You're ok. You're ok.
Firefighter: I'm going to need you to move.
Nikolas: Sorry.
Firefighter: First victim has major third-degree burns. Tell the e.R. To prep for skin grafts and lung trauma.
Edward: Oh, i have lived in this city for more years than some of you have been alive. And the mob element? Oh, it's always been here lowering our quality of life, stealing our children's souls, killing our friends and our loved ones. Frank smith, sonny corinthos, and now the zaccharas. These people have cost this community more than i can even articulate within the parameters of these proceedings. And this is the environment that spawned john zacchara, the pampered son of a vicious crime lord. Taught from the cradle that, oh, territory is far more important, oh, more valuable than human life. Do you know something? We have the opportunity to stand collectively, right now, and say, "no, not this time." Lulu spencer lives in my house, and i can't say she's opened her heart to us. She's a troubled, complicated young girl. But she's a good girl with a good heart, and she deserves the life that she hasn't yet begun to live.
[Edward scoffs]
Edward: All i've heard is what a grave responsibility we have. And i finally understand and agree, but that responsibility is not to john zacchara. No, it's to lulu spencer. It's to logan hayes.It's to the city that every single one of us calls home. And i say that we go back with a verdict of guilty.
Epiphany: That was, uh, very moving, edward. And i could tell that a few words actually came from your heart. Now, it's my turn. John zacchara is a mobster's son. And according to mr. Quartermaine's standards, that makes him guilty. But in this country, you can't be convicted because of who your family is. In this country, you all -- we all are equal under the law. That boy was defending his sister. He did what i would do, what you would do, what any of us would do if anyone we loved was being hurt. He protected his sister. He did what he could to save her.
Sam: You know, it makes me laugh at how eager i was to embrace the whole concept of community. How i was convinced that my life would transform into something magical if i just got a job, paid taxes, and, i don't know, grew a few roots.
Jerry: Well, it's served you pretty well.
[Sam chuckles]
Sam: What, are you talking about this apartment? Spoils from "everyday heroes," a gig that turned out to be every bit as transitory as a scam. And you want to know why it blew up in my face? Because of the past that i cannot escape. So i figure why even try? Why not just accept myself for who and what i am and stop stifling my true potential?
Jerry: And in your beautiful eyes, what would that be?
Sam: Mm, i am good at being bad. I come alive when my luck runs out and i have to think on my feet. I miss walking on the wild side because i'm comfortable there. Which is why you don't scare me.
Jerry: All right. Let's say for the sake of argument that i buy an actual word that you said to me. I have to admit your self-evaluation closely mirrors mine. I came to settle in this cowpoke of a city because i wanted to have a relationship with my brother, and that quest wasn't a total failure. I mean, you know, i find it extremely gratifying that jax and i have had that rare moment of real connection or some woman like alexis looks at me and finds something like hope. When all's said and done, none of it compares with standing on the edge of a cliff and stepping off into nothing, not knowing if this is the last risk i will take. Not caring because the freefall and its rush is just enough.
Carly: I am so sorry for barging in on you. I didn't do it on purpose. I had no idea you were even home.
Spinelli: Yeah, the jackal can confirm the valkyrie's claim of innocence. I mistakenly told her you were off the premises. Did she interrupt a much needed power nap?
Jason: You came here because you're upset. Just tell me what happened.
Spinelli: Oh, my -- oh, my goodness. Oh, i had no idea the maternal one was in stone cold's bed -- room. I -- i was under the impression that a physical relationship was --
Jason: Spinelli, please. You're not helping.
Elizabeth: And neither am i, so i'm just going to go.
Jason: No, no, no. You don't have to go.
Elizabeth: Actually, the hospital just called and they're short a nurse, so i'm going to go fill in.
Carly: This is wrong, ok? You had the night off. You clearly had plans.
Elizabeth: It's ok. Jason wants to help you.
Diane: Consider me the -- excuse me, thank you -- the emotional cavalry. You are blinded by love. You're not seeing clearly. You're judgment is compromised. I, on the other hand, am clear and objective as a judge. So as your very dear friend, allow me to give you the benefit of my logical and disciplined point of view and remind you again of the myriad reasons why you need to run, not walk, to the nearest exit and never, ever marry sonny corinthos.
Sonny: Diane, you are a great attorney. You work your butt off for me, but sometimes, i don't know why, i get the distinct feeling that you don't like me very much. I don't know why.
Diane: This is nothing personal, sonny, believe me. This is a sisterhood kind of thing, and i don't expect you to understand.
Maxie: I'm sorry.
Diane is really fast.
Kate: Well, well, maxie, where were you? Getting your hair cut? What happened to "hold all my calls and no visitors"?
Maxie: It's not like i could tackle her or anything.
[Diane laughs]
Sonny: You know, actually i'm glad that diane is here.
Kate and diane: You are?
Sonny: Well, i'd rather be undermined to my face than behind my back. That way i can defend myself. So, diane, give it your best shot. Convince kate howard to walk away from me.
Monica: Ok, we'll just have them cleared. Oh, elizabeth, thank you for coming on such short notice. Well, actually no notice whatsoever.
Elizabeth: Sure. I wasn't far when you called, and my plans for the night kind of fell through.
Monica: Oh, sorry.
Elizabeth: It's good to see you.
Monica: It's good to be back, actually. Oh, what do we have here?
Doctor: Fire at the free clinic. Dr. Hunter has third-degree burns on his legs.
Monica: Elizabeth, pull dr. Hunter's file and notify next of kin. Let's get him into --
Elizabeth: Nadine was at the clinic, too? Nikolas?
Nikolas: I want to go with her.
Elizabeth: No, just let them do their jobs and stay here with me, ok?
Sam: Ooh, hold on. Hold on. You need to slow down.
Jerry: At this point of our involvement, i don't think coy truly becomes you.
Sam: Really? You have reservations about me? That happens to work both ways, and i happen to know that you do not do anything without an agenda. And it has suddenly dawned on me that trusting you could be a problem.
Jerry: Oh, am i expected to believe that you've trusted every man you slept with?
Sam: No. Listen to me. In bed is one thing, out of bed -- that's a whole complete different issue. My life pretty much blew apart the last time i slept with one of my mother's men. So until i'm convinced that you are not using me to cleanse your alleged conscience by confessing our little hook-up to my mother, there will not be one.
Spinelli: Had the jackal known stone cold was reconnecting, as it were, with the maternal one, i would have never entered the premises, let alone sent up agents of disruption to sully your love nest.
Jason: No one is blaming you, spinelli.
Spinelli: And also, i've compounded the already distressed valkyrie's anxieties.
Carly: It's ok. You didn't mean to do any harm. And i was here, remember? You didn't know jason was home. And jason should be allowed to have a woman upstairs in his bedroom without me barging in the door. It's called boundaries. And i'm sorry, i'm not really good at them. Spinelli, can i talk to jason alone?
Spinelli: Say no more.
Jason: Just -- just leave it.
Spinelli: Sorry.
Jason: Ok.
[Jason exhales]
Carly: He's a great guy. I can see why you like him so much.
Jason: You didn't come here to talk about spinelli.
Carly: Jax hit the wall just like you said he would.
Jason: He found out about you and sonny?
Carly: Yeah, and he moved out and he took everything this time and he's not coming back. I lost him. And it's killing me because i love him more than anything.

Diane: Get out a pad. You're going to take the role of court stenographer.
Maxie: Ok, what am i writing?
Diane: My moments of brilliance. I hope you write fast, there will be many.
Kate: Diane, you know this is ridiculous, right?
Diane: What is ridiculous will be if you still decide to pledge your troth to this man after i have finished with him.
Sonny: Can i get a scotch?
Diane: No alcoholic beverages on the witness stand. Make due.
Maxie, you ready?
Maxie: Ready.
Diane: All right, let's get right to the point, shall we, mr. Corinthos? Did you or did you not have sex with carly jacks on the night of may 19th?
Sonny: Yeah, i did.
Diane: And carly is your ex-wife, correct?
Sonny: You know she's my --
Diane: Yes or no.
Sonny: Uh, yeah.
Diane: How many times, mr. Corinthos?
Sonny: How many times what?
Diane: How many times have you married your ex?
[Sonny sighs]
Sonny: Uh, four.
Diane: And how many times have you and carly split up?
Sonny: Oh, lots.
Diane: More than three, less than 10?
Sonny: Closer to 10, diane.
Diane: And after every one of these so-called breakups, no matter how final they may have seemed at the time, you and carly eventually managed to find your way back to each other again and again and again.
Kate: Objection. Irrelevant.
Diane: You can't object.
Kate: Well, i just did. There were special circumstances at play the night sonny and carly -- diane, i'm not going to let you gloss over it.
Nikolas: So how's she doing?
Monica: Well, there was serious smoke inhalation and minor burns, but i've given her something to help her sleep and something to ease the pain.
Nikolas: She's going to be all right though, right?
Monica: Well, she got lucky -- i guess thanks to you. And barring any unforeseen circumstances, i think she'll make a full recovery.
Nikolas: Thank God for that. I mean, she's -- she's become a really good friend of mine. We've been spending a lot of time together since she's been helping me set up and run emily's clinic.
Monica: Nikolas, it's ok, really. Now i have to go and check on dr. Hunter. Unfortunately, he -- he didn't fare as well. Excuse me.
Elizabeth: Why don't you go in and see her?
Nikolas: You sure it's ok?
Elizabeth: I think when she wakes up, the first person she would like to see is you.
Jerry: I'm going to take a leap here and assume that giving you my word that i wouldn't dream of telling alexis that i had sex with her daughter wouldn't suffice?
Sam: No, i'm afraid not. See -- you see, you already told me that you were tempted to set alexis free for her own good. And the most expedient way to do that, of course, would be to seduce me and tell her about it. So until i'm sure that you're not going to do that, we are going to keep this attraction on a very short leash.
Jerry: Well, you know, i may have had a momentary impulse to protect her from my worst self, but i can assure you it was fleeting and passed like my noble inclinations.
Sam: Do you see how this works? All roads lead back to trust. You say whatever it is that you say and something gets lost in translation, and i wind up not believing you.
Jerry: Well, then i guess i have my work cut out for me. But you must remember i am not a man known for my patience.
Sam: Aw.
Jerry: And i am very frustrated to say the least.
Sam: Poor guy.
Jerry: Then i think i'll go see your mother. Maybe alexis could release this pent up tension.
Carly: How many mistakes do i have to make before i learn? I was just -- i was crazy to think jax was never going to find out about me and sonny.
Jason: You were scared. You didn't want to lose jax. You made a -- made a bad choice.
Carly: Huh, one bad choice? I made lots of bad choices. I should have trusted jax. I should have trusted him to be more forgiving, because as it turns out, if i would have told him the night that it happened, that may have been my only way to keep him.
Jason: Carly, you -- trust me, you can drive yourself crazy picking apart what you can't change.
Carly: How could i not have realized how much i loved jax? How he makes me better and happier and lighter and funnier and -- he never used me.He never tried to make me feel bad or less than. And carly strikes again. I ruined everything. I didn't trust his love, so i just tested it and tested it until it snapped. And now i've lost the best man that's ever happened to me and i have no one to blame but myself.
Kate: Sonny and carly were enduring the worst possible circumstances parents could face. And in their mutual grief, they turned to each other.
Diane: That's great. Yes, why should this be different from any other court sonny has appeared before?
Sonny: Because, diane, i don't know if you know, but i -- i don't want to rain on your little parade here, but this is not court.
Diane: That's great, kate. Just let him off on a technicality. You know what? Prosecution calls kate howard to the stand.
Kate: All right, fine.
Sonny: Do i have to -- i don't have to move, do i?
Diane: Witness is excused pending recall.
Kate: Up. Now.
Sonny: All right, whatever.
Kate: Ok, i swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
Diane: All right, ms. Howard.
Kate: Yes.
Diane: Before your breakup with this man -- this sonny corinthos, he claimed to love you, is that correct?
Kate: Um, no, actually, correction.
Sonny does love me.
Diane: Uh-huh, and after the technicality of your breakup, how much time elapsed between his limo dalliance with carly?
Kate: How much time?
Diane: How much time, ms. Howard?
Kate: Days.
Diane: Days, days. So sonny's big scary love for you didn't slow him down at all, did it?
Kate: I object. You're badgering me.
Diane: And speaking of time, how much of it elapsed between the limo dalliance and you finding out about it? Weeks, months of sonny lying to your face --
sonny: Diane, now -- done. Now this little game is all fine and everything, but you're bullying kate into telling you what you want to hear.
Diane: Was i bullying you?
Sonny: Yes, a lot.
Diane: I'm sorry. I'm so -- i didn't mean -- i just -- i just get carried away.
Kate: Oh, diane, no. Listen, i understand why, ok? I do. You don't want me to marry sonny blindly and end up getting my heart broken, and i love you for that. Look, i don't have a lot of friends, diane. I haven't picked up a lot along the way, and i really appreciate the ones i do have. I'm a big girl. I can look at all of the evidence. I can ask all the questions, and i can make decisions for myself. And i've decided to forgive sonny, and i want to spend the rest of my life with him.
Jax: Well, that seems dangerously naive. As long as carly draws breath, there isn't a chance in hell that he'll remain faithful to you.
Scott: Enjoy the family moment.After tonight, i think it's every other tuesday at sing sing.
Anthony: You better hope you're a lousy psychic, baldwin, because if they take my son away --
scott: Roll away.
Bailiff: All rise.
Judge aroyo: Bring in the jury.
Johnny: They're not looking at me. That must not be good.
Judge aroyo: We are back on the record in the john anthony zacchara matter. Madame foreperson, i understand you have a verdict.
Epiphany: We do, your honor. Diane: Um, now might be a very good time for maxie -- maxie? To show me the samples that she has.
Maxie: Go to clarice's office. Ok. Great idea.
Kate: Why are you looking at me like that?
Jax: Because you disappoint me.
Kate: Oh, sorry. Why don't you take a number.
Jax: You seem to have gotten over your rage towards sonny here rather quickly.
Sonny: Jax, what goes on between me and kate is none of your business.
Jax: Oh, really? What about what goes on between you and carly?
Sonny: What -- who -- who cares?
Kate: You know what, jax? All you need to know is that i forgive sonny. I suppose you could do the same.
Jax: Oh, well, that's not going to happen because carly and i are over. So it appears once again, you're the winner -- causing emotional mayhem along the way.
[Jax claps]
Jax: You know, this would really be infuriating if your relationship actually had a chance of lasting. But one thing i know about you, you create your own misery. That's just, you know, he can't help himself.
[Knock at door] [knocking continues]
Sam: Coming.
Lucky: Hey.
Sam: Hi.
Lucky: Your message made me nervous.
Sam: Well --
Lucky: So, tell me, how'd it go?
Sam: Ok, i think it went pretty good. I think he bought my whole act of turning to the dark side.
Lucky: Yeah, and how did you convince him?
Sam: Is that your charming way of asking if i slept with him?
Lucky: Well, am i allowed toask?
Sam: No -- i mean, yes -- yes, of course you are. We're in a relationship and it's about trust. Absolutely, and i -- i -- ok, fine. I kissed him and that's it.
Lucky: What happens next time?
Nikolas: Hey, there.
Nadine: Hi. Uh, what --
Nikolas: It's ok, you're -- you're in the hospital, but you're fine.You're going to be ok.
Nadine: I thought i recognized this place.
[Nadine coughs]
Nadine: Oh, uh, the fire. Is -- is matt --
Nikolas: No, he's in icu. He -- he got burned pretty bad, but he's stable right now.
Nadine: Is he going to be ok?
Nikolas: The doctors say he will, yes.
Nadine: Because of you.
Nikolas: No, actually, because of you. I only got matt clear first because you were so stubborn about it and insisted upon it. I swear to God, if anything would have happened to you before i got back -- if you would have died while i was trying to save matt hunter, i never would have forgiven you for it.
Judge aroyo: What say you, madame foreperson?
Epiphany: In the case of the state of new york versus john anthony zacchara, we the jury find that the defendant is not guilty.
Scott: Not guilty? Wait a minute. What's a matter with you people? He killed my son. I want justice!
Judge aroyo: Mr. Baldwin.
Scott: You idiots.
Judge aroyo: All right, everyone, settle down. We are still in session. On behalf of the state of new york, i would like to thank you for your service, especially you, mr. Quartermaine.
[Laughter]
Judge aroyo: Mr. Zacchara, all the charges against you are dropped. You are free to go. Court is adjourned.
Nadine: I should have called 9-1-1, not gone tearing in there, getting me and matt trapped.
[Nikolas chuckles]
Nikolas: It's ok. You just did what anyone who knows you would have expected. You rushed into a dangerous situation without fear and did everything you could to help.
[Nadine cries]
Nikolas: What? What's wrong? What -- what'd i say?
Nadine: Don't pay attention to me. I don't know why i'm crying. I mean, i'm safe and you're here. It's just -- i could have died tonight, you know, and it could have all been gone just like that. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm just being ridiculous.
Nikolas: No, you're not. I think you're amazing, and i'm actually glad that you're in my life.
Sam: You know, i wasn't sure you were going to stay.
Lucky: Well, i did say i'd support whatever you had to do to bust jerry, so i'm standing by my word. Besides, you look too good in that tub to be alone.
Sam: Well, why don't you come join me? MMm, ok. Now, this is definitely more like it. I'm glad you decided to stay. Because after jerry left, i just needed to come in here and soak away the feel of his gross hands on my body. The only man i want touching me is you.
Anthony: Congratulations, son.
Johnny: Thanks.
Anthony: How's it feel?
Johnny: Great. Awesome. You stood by me the whole time You had my back. I won't forget it.
Claudia: Who knew you were really as good as you said?
Ric: You saved your brother, not me.
Claudia: No, you let it happen, ric. You spun it in a way that the jury could accept. So, who knows? Maybe we're a good team after all.
Ric: I told you.
Kate: Oh, great. So jax and diane can just presume to tell me what to do with my life, who i can marry, who i cannot marry. What, they think i can't make my own decisions? You know, i have been making my own decisions for my whole life. And jax -- oh, so he's having grief over his marriage, so he can just pass judgment on -- what are you looking at?
Sonny: Well, i just -- you -- i like that. With the way you -- when you get all fired up and determined on my behalf, because you know what that tells me?
Kate: I don't know.
Sonny: It tells me you're going to marry me come hell or high water, and i am the luckiest guy i know.
Carly: You know, you predicted it. That i would try and replace the pain of michael with something that was at least familiar, pain that i was used to. Except the joke is on me, because losing jax doesn't feel like anything i've ever felt before.
Jason: I'm sorry.
Carly: Jax has ruined me, you know. I'm never going to love someone like this again.

Robin: Any changes in Dr. Hunter's condition?
Patrick: No, not yet. He's got a long road ahead of him, too. Pain management, multiple surgeries for skin grafts.
Robin: And head trauma, too?
Patrick: I'm only supposed to be consulting on this case, but it's hard to be objective. Every time I look at him, i just see myself.
Jax: What happened to the staff managers meeting?
Marty: It was pushed back.
Jax: By whom?
Carly: By me. We should talk.
Maxie: Spinelli, I know you mean well, but this idea could seriously crash and burn.
Spinelli: The valkyrie is most distressed over the recent dissolution of her marriage. I'm -- I'm just trying to elevate her spirits with -- by providing a prospective suitor.
Maxie: Online?
Spinelli: This website guarantees matches via 25 potential points of compatibility.
Maxie: Well, if physical attraction isn't one of them, the rest are a waste of time.
Spinelli: Does maximista believe romance can't blossom between two individuals that begin as friends?
Maxie: Spinelli, sexual compatibility is so important. How can you get that from an online dating service?
Jason: Ok, you're -- you're not signing me up on a dating service.
Johnny: Lulu.
Lulu: Johnny!
Anthony: You missed breakfast. What's the matter? You don't want to have a meal with me?
Claudia: I think a little distance between us is healthy, daddy. Don't you?
Anthony: Nonsense. We're one big happy family again. Johnny is a free man. We're back to business as usual.
Claudia: Which would be my cue to leave the room.
Anthony: Not this time. I got plans for you, claudia.
Claudia: What sort of "plans" do you have in store for me, daddy?
Anthony: I watched you lie through your teeth up there on the witness stand. You were good. You saved johnny. For your own reasons, I'm sure, but I'm still grateful.
Claudia: Well, I didn't do it for you. I did it for johnny.
Anthony: We're a family, claudia. What benefits one, benefits all of us. By saving your brother, you did the whole family a great service, and you'll be rewarded.
Claudia: I don't want your reward.
Anthony: Don't be so hasty. Ah, the gang's all here, the brilliant attorney and his worthless father. Lady and gents, it's time to shake this town up.
Lulu: You're free. I can't even believe it.
Johnny: I was so worried about you.
Lulu: I just needed to know that you're ok, and you are. I'm sorry that I went to pieces on the stand.
Johnny: It's over.
Lulu: I just thought that i could save you, and I made everything worse.
Johnny: The jury believed claudia when she said that i killed logan in self-defense.
Lulu: I know. Nikolas told me, and I am not a big fan of your sister, but she showed how much she loves you.
Johnny: She was great. She convinced the jury that i was only trying to protect her, and, as far as anyone else knows, you were never there.
Lulu: You took such a big chance for me.
Johnny: And it paid off. Now we need to focus on getting you better.
Lulu: I already am. I can feel it. Thanks to my mom.
Johnny: Your mom?
Maxie: Signing you up for online dating? That would be interesting.
Jason: Ok, before this gets out of control, like my nonexistent affair with karpov's attorney, you both need to understand that my personal life is off limits.
Spinelli: Ok, with all due respect, stone cold, this actually doesn't --
Maxie: Jason, the world doesn't revolve around you. Not that it would do any good signing you up for online dating. I mean, what would we list as your hobbies? "Cleans guns" and "shoots people"? If you want to be miserable and alone for the rest of your life, that's your problem. Spinelli and I, we're going help out someone who would be a little more appreciative.
Jason: Who?
Maxie: Carly.
Nikolas: Hey, you're awake.
Nadine: I just woke up a minute ago, right before you.
Nikolas: How are you feeling?
Nadine: Could have been worse. I could have been fried and served for dinner. Aunt rayleen used to say that about chickens on a hot day. Never mind.
[Laughs and coughs]
Nadine: I must be on some serious pain meds or something.
Nikolas: I'm just glad you're ok.
Nadine: How could I not be? You dragged me from under a collapsed ceiling through a raging fire, held my hand through my crying jag, and then apparently stayed the night. Talk about your full-service hero.
Nikolas: Yeah. Well, you know, you're -- you're important to me.
Nadine: I'm glad you think so. Or - I mean -- that -- well -- it -- I appreciate that.
Nikolas: It's ok. You're welcome.
Alexis: I want you to talk to forensics and the fire marshall, because I want to find out how that clinic burned.
Lucky: Nikolas worked very hard to get that built so he could help people in emily's name.
Alexis: All the more reason why he didn't cut corners. I doubt that they're going to find any evidence of an electrical fire.
Lucky: Well, we're looking into arson, all right? I just don't understand why anybody would want to burn down a free clinic.
Alexis: Neither can I, but he's had clashes with the mayor and the damn hmo'S. It could be sabotage.
[Knock at door]
Alexis: Hey.
Alexis: Hi.
Lucky: I'll get right on it.
Alexis: Ok I take it you haven't worked things out with him.
Sam: No, no. You know what? It's probably for the best anyway.
Alexis: I'm sorry. I really am. Do you miss him?
Sam: I guess. I mean, maybe, a little bit. But you know what? In all honesty, I think he's probably better off with an uncomplicated woman like elizabeth.
Alexis: As opposed to you?
Sam: You know what, mom? Sometimes you don't realize how destructive a relationship is until you're out of it.
Robin: I'm a bit surprised with your sudden empathy for dr. Hunter. You never noticed him before, except to fight with him.
Patrick: He's egocentric, arrogant, way too impressed with his own brilliance.
Robin: Sounds like somebody else I know.
Patrick: He's competitive. He lacks people skills, and he pushes the envelope just to prove how good he is.
Robin: Which is exactly like you -- when we first met, of course.
Patrick: You know, if it was me in there with multiple burns, possible head trauma, not sure what kind of recovery I'd make, and putting my surgical career on the line --
Robin: What?
Patrick: I don't know if I'd want to recover.
Jason: The last thing carly needs is a bunch of strangers coming on to her over the internet.
Maxie: I think you know nothing about women.
Spinelli: Actually, stone cold is quite knowledgeable on the subject of the distaff gender.
Maxie and Jason: The what?
Spinelli: Women. They're drawn to stone cold like moths to a flame.
Maxie: So, he's hot, but he doesn't know what women feel or want.
Jason: Ok, this -- this is about carly.
Maxie: Yeah, and when a woman has had her heart stomped on, nothing makes her feel better than some hot, eligible men hitting on her.
Spinelli: Not to rule out males with a more steadfast, you know, nature with loyalty and intelligence, if somewhat substandard physical prowess.
Maxie: This would be good for carly.
Jason: No, it wouldn'T.
Maxie: Do you think you could rustle up some support for your friend spinelli?
Jason: Ok, how -- how am I not supporting spinelli?
Maxie: Well, this whole internet dating thing was his idea.
Spinelli: If stone cold thinks it's detrimental --
Maxie: I was a little iffy about it at first, but now I'm thinking, hey, can't be that bad.
Jason: Ok, you've got to understand that when carly is going through something like this, she can make some crazy choices. She could hook up with some guy who's a psycho or abusive. Think.
Spinelli: I just -- I wanted to aid the heartbroken valkyrie, not place her in jeopardy.
Jason: Good. Maybe you can find some other way to help her.
Maxie: Don'T. Who put you in charge of anyone's dating life?
Jax: Marty, could you give us a second?
Marty: Sure.
Jax: I thought I made myself pretty clear at the hospital.
Carly: Yeah, you wanted jerry to take you home. It hurt, but I didn't fight you on it, ok?
Jax: Then please accept that our marriage is over.
Carly: I realize that I trashed what we had, and if I could take it back, I would.
Jax: Carly, talking about it only makes it hurt more for both of us.
Carly: Well, you know what? We co-own two hotels together, this one and the one in montreal. Like it or not, our lives intersect. We have to find a way to deal with each other.
Max: Poor mrs. C. I mean, carly. She's really hurting bad right now.
Diane: All of this could have been avoided if you had simply told kate that sonny and carly had had sex when I suggested you do so.
Max: It wasn't my place to tell her.
Diane: You're implication being that it also wasn't mine?
Max: Ok, it wasn't, and if you wouldn't have pushed it, we wouldn't have been talking about it. And if we wouldn't have been talking about, clarice would have never over heard us, opened up her big mouth to kate, and nobody would have been the wiser right now.
Nikolas: When will the doctor be in to check up on her?
Elizabeth: Dr. Fox just started his rounds. Your vitals look good, but how are you feeling?
Nadine: A little tired, but I'm ok.
Nikolas: Will she need any more -- any more tests or anything like that?
Elizabeth: Well, that's for the doctor to decide. Don't worry. She's doing well.
Nikolas: Thanks. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have jumped in like that. You're perfectly capable of asking your own questions.
Nadine: Well, it's kind of nice to be fussed over. So, feel free.
Nikolas: Oh, well, ok. If you insist, let me just --
[Nadine laughs]
Nadine: Thank you.
Jerry: Sorry to intrude.
Nikolas: What do you want?
Jerry: Well, I've heard about the news of -- about the fire, and it must have been terrifying.
Nadine: Nikolas pulled me out before I got burned.
Jerry: Oh, that's good. I'm pleased to hear it.
Nikolas: I'm sorry, you don't even know her. Why would you come here to check up on her?
Jerry: Well, truth be told, i feel rather guilty. I -- I'm -- I just hope the fire is not tied to the fact that i gave you information about the prospective shipment of counterfeit drugs.
Nikolas: Do you suspect someone?
Jerry: No, no, nothing
Nikolas: What do you ws good. I'm pleased to hear it.
Nikolas: I'm sorry, you don't gave you information about the prospective shipment of counterfeit drugs.
Jerry: No, no, nothing concrete, but it's not unheard of for an arsonist to get caught in his own fire.
Nikolas: If you're suggesting that she had something to do with this --
Jerry: No, no, no. I assumed there were other people in the clinic. I mean, did anyone else have a reason to be there?Re suggesting that she had something to do with this --
Jerry: No, no, no. I assumed there were other people in the clinic. I mean, did anyone else have a reason to be there? Suggesting that she had something to do with this --
Jerry: No, no, no. I assumed there were other people in the clinic. I mean, did anyone else have a reason to be there?
Robin: You were called to consult on the case, not take it over.
Patrick: Someone's got to make decisions on his treatment.
Robin: I assume the family's been notified?
Patrick: Yeah, they went over his records when he was admitted, and there is no next of kin.
Robin: No family at all?
Patrick: No. It says "mother's deceased," and he didn't list any other family members.
Robin: Hmm. We'll have to wait until he wakes up to get the information.
Patrick: I would rather not. He's in bad shape now. He's only going to get worse.
Robin: I might know someone that could help.
Anna: Hello.
Noah: Hey.
Anna: Wow, how are you? Well, it's good to see you.
Noah: You look beautiful, as usual.
Anna: Thank you. When did you get back?
Noah: About an hour ago.
Anna: All right. Well, doctors without borders is very lucky to have you. So, where were you this time?
Noah: Myanmar. Want to sit down?
Anna: Sure.
Noah: There was a cyclone that flattened everything. It was unbelievable, unbelievable. I was really happy to be there to help, but I'm real glad to be home. Any fireworks while I was gone?
Anna: Oh, where to start? There was a marriage proposal here, a speedy refusal, and then this sort of internet campaign, which ended very abruptly when robin thought that maybe she was going into labor.
Noah: Is the baby all right?
Anna: Yeah, yeah, fine. It was a false alarm. Our granddaughter is going to arrive right on time.
Noah: Wow. I know patrick sent me an email that it was going to be a little girl, that's just -- it's so great.
Anna: It is.
Noah: I mean, he'll find his own way as a parent, you know?
Anna: Yeah. I mean, they both will. Robin is very excited to be a mom, but let's face it, she doesn't have a clue about what's coming.
Noah: Yeah.
Anna: I mean, you know, it's sort of better that way, because then they don't have any preconceived ideas, right?
Noah: Yeah, I was kind of worried that they'd have a boy and history would repeat itself, you know? Patrick would, you know, damage his son's childhood the way i damaged patrick'S.
Maxie: You're bullying spinelli into thinking he's making a horrible mistake.
Jason: You -- what are you talking about? I just told him not to sign carly up on an online dating service.
Maxie: Who says you get to dictate what spinelli does or doesn't do for carly?
Spinelli: Maximista need not rally to the jackal's defense so vociferously.
Maxie: I'll be as vociferous as I please. Just because spinelli and carly put up with you, doesn't mean you get to dictate their love lives.
Jason: Ok, fine. If you guys are determined to do this, talk to carly. Don't do it behind her back.
Spinelli: That is a suggestion worth contemplation.
Jason: And please do it somewhere else. I have an appointment.
Maxie: Fine. We're going, and you need to get a handle on your control issues.
Spinelli: The jackal is somewhat confused. Are -- are we still planning to continue aiding the valkyrie?
Maxie: Yeah, and while we're on one venture, why don't we make it a two-for? I say we sign up mr. Socially challenged for the dating site also.
Spinelli: Maximista courts disaster.
Maxie: Oh, come on, spinelli. We're not going to use jason's real name. We'll just use his stats. I mean, I have to see if he's even compatible with one person.
Marty: The painting contractor insisted on both your signatures.
Jax: That's ok, marty. Thanks for taking care of it.
Carly: Was that so bad?
Jax: Truthfully? Yes. This hotel and the one in montreal are constant reminders of the life that we planned together.
Carly: We can still be amicable. We've always worked well together, you know? We'll just keep it strictly business, nothing else.
Jax: Well, I'm not sure I can.
Carly: Don't force me out. I love this hotel. We have rebuilt it, and it is doing great.
Jax: I'm very proud of what we've both accomplished with it. As for the future of it --
Carly: What are you going to do, jax?
Jax: I don't know. I -- the managers meeting is in an hour. If you don't mind, I'll let you take it.
Diane: So your position on infidelity is that it doesn't count if you don't get caught?
Max: That isn't what I meant.
Diane: I'm so sorry. What is it exactly that you meant?
Max: That mr. And mrs. C don't really count, because they were married before.
Diane: I see. So, exes can feel free to sleep together, regardless of the fact that they are currently married or engaged to other people?
Max: Mr. And mrs. C have a unique thing. Plus, they were grief-stricken over michael. They weren't thinking straight.
Diane: Oh, so many excuses for their blatant infidelity.
Max: Ok. You know what? Kate's your friend. I get that you're protective of her, ok? But it just happened once.
Diane: So that's the reason it doesn't count? Tell me, max -- have you cheated on me just once?
Max: I mean, how could I cheat on you when we're just in a "casual" relationship?
Diane: So you have cheated on me, and it's my use of semantics that now makes it my fault?
Max: No.
Diane: Ok, this is what I have to say to you. Kate howard may have a better wardrobe, but I've got a better backbone. And you will never have the opportunity to cheat on me again. You and I are through.
Alexis: Look, I told you I'm not going to comment on scott baldwin's tactics during the zacchara trial. The jury reached a verdict. Justice has been done. That's what I'll comment on. That's it. It's a feeding frenzy since they found john zacchara not guilty.
Sam: Yeah, look, I was hoping to talk to you about jerry.
Alexis: I appreciate your concern, and I want you to know that I don't take your warning lightly.
Sam: But you're still seeing him?
Alexis: I'm very well aware of his moral deficiencies. What we have in common is his devotion to his brother.
Sam: No, look -- I think you're really looking for redeeming qualities because you're still sleeping with the guy.
Alexis: Ok, you know what? It's really weird to talk about my having sex with you.
Sam: I know it is. I'm sorry. I don't want you to get hurt, and I think jerry is capable of far worse than you realize.
Alexis: My eyes are wide open. Sam, I assure you, ok? I don't want to be abrupt. I am swamped here. It's not just the zacchara trial. It's just that we think that the fire at the clinic may have been arson. We're not sure of a motive.
Sam: Yeah, whatever. No problem. I am sorry to bother you.
Alexis: You're not bothering me. Ever, ok? I want you to come for dinner. Will you do that? Please, kristina and molly miss you.
Sam: Wow, yeah. I mean, sure, I'll -- I'll call you later.
Alexis: Good.
Sam: Good. Bye.
Alexis: Bye.
Lucky: So, how did it go? Did you tell alexis that you suspect jerry of starting the fire at the clinic?
Sam: No. I could not tell her. So, meet me later and I'll explain.
Lulu: Well, I -- I -- I sit with my mom and I -- I talk to her. I've told her about you and how we went to new york and I lost my mind and you took me here.
Johnny: It helps to tell your mom?
Lulu: Saying it out loud makes me think about how wonderful you've been, and I know she would feel the same way. She would want to thank you if she could.
Johnny: Lulu, everything that's happened to you, even you being here, is because of me.
Lulu: Yeah, but that's over, and now we have all the time in the world. How did we get so lucky?
Johnny: How did I get so lucky? You know, I took that wrong turn on lookout road and saw you hitching. I can't believe it. It seems like it was yesterday, but it wasn'T. It was --
Lulu: A year ago.
Johnny: Today.
Lulu: What? Oh my gosh. How'd you remember?
Johnny: How could I forget? Open it.
Lulu:
[Gasps] Oh, wow.
Johnny: Happy anniversary, lulu.
Lulu: Happy anniversary.
Anthony: Ric, you did a fine job saving johnny. You were eloquent, persuasive, and quick on your feet. All excellent qualities in attorneys. I'm giving you a lot more responsibility around here.
Ric: Thank you, anthony. I appreciate that.
Anthony: You're uncharacteristically quiet. What? You got nothing to say?
Trevor: Why bother? You get some kind of sadistic pleasure rubbing my nose in richard's questionable success?
Anthony: If it had been up to you, my son would be on his way to a lethal injection.
Trevor: Oh, we'll never know now. I never got the chance to defend him.
Anthony: Nobody likes a whiner, trevor.
Claudia: There's no way you could have pulled off what ric did.
Trevor: What? Put you on the stand, let you lie, and make it seem like it was real testimony? Any idiot lawyer could have done that.
Ric: Shame you didn'T.
Trevor: Oh, richie, come on. Don't be a hypocrite. Tell your daddy the truth. You were desperate. I'll bet it wasn't even your idea. So you suborned perjury.
Anthony: Whatever you call it, johnny is a free man, and as a reward, I'm giving ric and you more power.
Claudia: Me?
Anthony: On a limited basis, with ric to keep an eye on you. I'm going to let you participate in the family business.
[Claudia laughs]
Trevor: You'd better get somebody else to keep an eye on richie or you're going to be the one to whine.

Elizabeth: How are you doing?
Nikolas: Hey, they just -- they took nadine for some more tests.
Elizabeth: That isn't what i asked. In case you don't remember, you were also in a fire last night. You haven't even changed out of your sooty clothes.
Nikolas: I know. I should probably call alfred. I left my cell phone --
Elizabeth: He already called. I told him you were ok.
Nikolas: Oh. How's spencer? Did he say --
Elizabeth: He's fine. He's fine. Alfred said he's got everything under control, and you can stay here as long as you need. Which is good since obviously something's keeping you here.
Nikolas: Yeah. I just -- I feel so restless sometimes. You know? Like I'm -- like I'm coming out of my own skin. And I try to find some -- some purpose or meaning in this whole thing. I mean, that's -- that's what the clinic was for. And then nadine almost died there.
Elizabeth: Nikolas, the fire wasn't your fault.
Nikolas: I know.
Elizabeth: In fact, you saved nadine and matt's lives.
Nikolas: I know. It's just -- it makes you not want to invest or care about anything you love, because it can be taken away from you so easily.
Elizabeth: You know what i think? I think it scared you to see nadine in danger. And whether you wanted to or not, it made you realize that you care for her. And now you're alive, and she's alive. And what happens next? You can either hide from what's in front of you or take the chance while you can.
Carly: Hey, marty, can you reschedule that manager meeting for tomorrow after the meeting i have with the new pr company?
Marty: I'll take care of it.
Carly: Thank you.
Marty: Shall I send over a waiter to take your lunch order?
Carly: No, I'm not hungry. Thanks.
Maxie: Go ahead.
Spinelli: No, maximista is most gifted in the art of persuasion.
Maxie: Spinelli, it's your idea.
Carly: Is there a problem?
Spinelli: As it happens, um, jackal and maximista bring solutions in this time of tenseness and loneliness.
Carly: What time?
Maxie: It's ok, carly, you don't have to pretend.
Spinelli: You're among friends.
Carly: I am?
Spinelli: Yes. The pain of great sorrow is, is written on your brow.
Carly: I have lines on my face?
Spinelli: No. You remain as lovely as ever despite your heartbreak. And the jackal and maximista here are -- are here to console you in the wake of your breakup with the white knight jax.
Carly:
[Laughing] Oh, no. No way.
Maxie: No, no, no. Just -- just hear us out.
Carly: Sitting here with you two, in a group therapy session, is pretty much my idea of hell.
Maxie: There is no worse hell than being dumped.
Spinelli: But the valkyrie must refrain from focusing on the negative.
Maxie: Exactly. It's just time to face the truth. Sometimes no matter how much you love a guy, things just don't work out. And as soon as you accept that, it's easier to move on.
Spinelli: Yeah, with our able assistance.
Carly: What kind of assistance?
Maxie: It's a gift horse. Just run with it.
Spinelli: Despite your being deserted by your loved one, the jackal and maximista here are going to provide you with your pick of men.
Robin: Hi. Sorry I'm late. I just got called in for an emergency consult.
Anna: Oh, no worries. I'm going to buy a car seat, not diffuse a bomb.
Robin: And you've done that how many times?
Anna: Enough to know that it is mundane in comparison to watching my little girl have her little girl.
Robin: It means a lot to me that you took a leave of absence until the baby comes.
Anna: I wouldn't miss this special event for all the tea in china. I'm here to support you, and to drive you a little crazy, because you're going to find out soon enough, that's exactly what parents are here for.
Robin: So much to look forward to.
Anna: Yay.
Robin: Hey, can you do me a favor?
Anna: Hmm, what?
Robin: Can you call headquarters and ask to use the database?
Anna: Pourquoi?
Robin: I know it's a little unorthodox, but we have a patient here, a doctor actually, and we're trying to find his family.
Jason: Where -- where have you been?
Diane: I had to change my shoes. I wasn't walking tall enough. Course, that happens when you lean on a man.
Jason: What?
Diane: All right, now, the city council's going to ask you some very tough questions before they simply hand out building permits. So, your answers need to sound sincere. Since you are a man, and all men are good liars, that shouldn't be very difficult for you.
Jason: Are you ok?
Max: Who's to say you haven't cheated on me?
Lulu: It feels so great to just be with you and not be worried that someone's going to come and drag you away.
Johnny: I'll never take my freedom for granted again.
[Knock on door] Lainey: Hi. Lulu, time for group.
Lulu: Group. Lainey: Group.
Lulu: Uh, johnny's free. That's better for me than any group. Lainey: You've committed to the program.
Johnny: She's right.
Lulu: Ok. Well, if you want to wait and stay and see me after?
Johnny: Where else would I be?
Lulu: In case I forgot to mention it, you look very good without handcuffs.
[Johnny chuckles]
Johnny: She's getting better. Lainey: Lulu has a long road to a full recovery.
Johnny: Well, but she seems a lot more relaxed and confident since I was acquitted. Lainey: Lulu testified to killing logan on the witness stand. I wasn't there, but the reports of her behavior concern me.
Johnny: Scott baldwin put her under a lot of pressure. Lainey: So have you.
Johnny: I love her. Lainey: Regardless of your intentions, you represent violence and danger, upheaval to lulu. You brought chaos into her life. And right now she's not strong enough to handle it. She may never be. So please, for lulu's sake, make this your last visit.
Jerry: Hello, darling. The door was open, so --
Alexis: Like it would have mattered if it were locked. I have so much work to do. And as nice as it was to see you last night, although unexpected, this is a distraction that i can't afford.
Jerry: Well, a distraction is better than most things I've been called. How are you? Oh, by the way, the plant is a replacement for the one i knocked off the porch the other day when I was leaving in the wee hours of the morning to avoid the awkwardness of sitting at the breakfast table with your children.
Alexis: Bye-bye.
Jerry: No, no -- and -- and, for the record, I did not give in to temptation and look at anything on your desk.
Alexis: It doesn't matter. Go right ahead. Ever since we started sleeping together I never leave anything more compromising than a grocery list.
Jerry: Yes, I see. Very wise. Oh, you forgot butter.
Alexis: Hmm.
Jerry: What can I say? I'm unconscionable. But, that's what you love about me. You on the right side of the law and me --
Alexis: I'm busy.
Jerry: Oh, yes, you must be. I heard about the fire in nikolas' clinic. And it must be a top priority.
Alexis: Yes, it is, actually. Shoo.
Jerry: Any idea how the fire started?
Alexis: Why are you so interested?
Nikolas: Ok, I consider myself a fairly intelligent man, but i can't make heads or tails of these test results.
Nadine: Well, I am a nurse, remember? So I do speak medicalese. You could simply let me read my chart.
Nikolas: Ok, translation please.
Nadine: All right. Uh, well, it looks like I have minor smoke inhalation, and i should be released today.
Nikolas: Yeah, but, I mean, you can't -- you can't be alone in your -- in your apartment right now. I mean, you could have -- there could be complications. You could -- you know?
Nadine: First of all, you're not my doctor. And secondly, I'm not staying in this hospital a second longer than I have to.
Nikolas: No, no, of course not. I'm just saying you need -- you need downtime. Rest. Relaxation. Sunshine. Things like that.
Nadine: Hmm, you're right. You know what? I'm going to spend a month on my private yacht, cruising the caribbean. That should do the trick.
Nikolas: Ok. Actually I was -- I was hoping that you would come stay with me at wyndemere.
Patrick: I made a major miscalculation asking robin to marry me over the P.A. System. I left myself wide open for her public humiliation.
Noah: Humiliation is good for the soul.
Patrick: I'll be sure to do it more often.
Noah: No, no listen, honestly. Honestly. I mean, you -- you had the courage to put your heart on the line for your woman and for your baby. It was the right thing to do.
Patrick: For a change.
Noah: I've said this many times, but I really mean it, patrick. I'm very proud of you.
Patrick: Wow. Actually sounds like a real dad talking.
Noah: Yeah, well, I -- I didn't do what I should've when I had the moment, but you're not even a father yet. You're already making better choices than I've made.
Patrick: Dad, you've done some things right along the way.
Noah: I made more mistakes than you.
Patrick: Well, I'm sure I'll find new ones about myself once this baby's born.
Noah:
[Chuckles] You're going to be a hell of a dad.
Patrick: Thanks.
Diane: If you haven't cheated on me yet, you will.
Max:
[Scoffs] I said nothing about cheating.
Diane: You made it crystal clear that you heartily condone it.
Max: You know what this is? This is a guilty conscious.
Diane: Excuse me?
Max: You're going on the attack to cover up the fact that you cheated on me.
Diane: That is a ridiculous assertion. Now you are just grasping at straws.
Max: I don't hear you denying it.
Diane: That's because it's beneath my dignity to even discuss it.
Max: Well, excuse me for lowering your standards.
Diane: Ok, you know what you're doing now? You're being a typical man, trying to turn your transgression back on me.
Max: You just can't admit you're wrong.
Diane: "I'm right, you're wrong." That is a tactic used only by the desperate.
Max: There you go again, doing what you always do. Treating everything like it's some kind of legal argument.
Diane: Well, I'm sorry. If you find my manner overbearing and abrasive, you should have spoken up months ago.
Jason: Ok, both of you, stop now.
Lulu: Johnny? Johnny's voice: It was great to see you. I'm glad you're getting better, and I don't want to mess with your progress. Take care -- I love you.
Lulu: Mom?
Laura: Honey, is that you?
Lulu: Oh, yes. Hi.
Laura: It's all right. I was just dozing.
Lulu: It scares me to see you in this chair. I don't know why you would want to be in this chair, now that you're better. Unless you never came out of it in the first place.
Jason: Look, I don't know what's going on here, but I--
Diane: I'll tell you what's going. What's going on is mr. Giambetti willing to trade in a mature, career-driven, intelligent woman for a cheap twenty-something in a tight sweater.
Max: You'd rather be with the boss than the flunky. No wonder why you didn't want kate to marry mr. C. You probably wanted him all for yourself.
Diane: That is patently absurd.
Max: All mr. C's lady lawyers eventually fall for him.
Diane: Me? Attracted to sonny? I have never been so insulted in my life.
Max: Ok, maybe I've --
Diane: But you know what, max? Now that I think of it. You bring up an excellent point. Why did I choose the bodyguard over, let's say, an attorney or a venture capitalist? I could be spending my weekends in intellectual pursuits, rather than holed up in some rickety cabin fishing till my waders rot.
Max: You said you liked to fish.
Diane: Well, of course. Who wouldn't enjoy spearing the cheek of an innocent trout with a needle?
Max: Then don't go fishing with me. Go to a polo game with some stuffy banker instead.
Diane: Consider it done. My slumming days are over. We're through.
Max: Diane, maybe if we -- I --
Diane: I don't want to hear it! Be gone with you, boy toy.
[Crying] Oh, god, oh --
Carly: This is a joke, right?
Spinelli: On the contrary, we are most sincere. The jackal researched a myriad of dating sites. And the chosen one is highly regarded and discerning and boasts many happily coupled alumni.
Carly: Ok, thank you, spinelli. Thank you. But I'm not ready. Jax and I just broke up. I'm felling really raw. And if I started dating now, i might -- no, I know I would do something really stupid. Ok?
Maxie: That's what jason said.
Carly: Jason knows you guys are doing this?
Spinelli: The jackal and maximista, yes, we confided our plan to stone cold. And -- and he advised that we only forge ahead, pending the valkyrie's approval. Even though he was a bit skeptical.
Maxie: Prove jason wrong. Come on, carly, you've got to get your game back. Why should you be sitting at home crying into your pint of ice cream when jax is probably out having a good time?
Carly: Maxie, jax is hurting as much as I am, ok?
Maxie: I don't know about that. Look.
Carly: You're right. It's time for me to get my game back. Why don't you show me the men you found for me to date.
Jerry: I went by the clinic this morning to check on the nurse who's caught in the fire. Nikolas was with her.
Alexis: And why on earth would you be so interested?
Jerry: Well, I have to admit that I had an ulterior motive.
Alexis: What a surprise.
Jerry: I was trying to placate your nephew, so you would see me in a more favorable light. I was trying to track down the source of the counterfeit drugs at his clinic.
Alexis: And?
Jerry: And I haven't yet been successful.
Alexis: One would think that you're attempting to reform.
Jerry: You provide a powerful incentive, my darling.
Alexis: And you talk a good game.
Jerry: Well, after last night, you know there's so much more to me than talk.
Lucky: I got the report you wanted -- I can come back.
Alexis: No, come in. If it has to do with the clinic, I want to hear about it.
Lucky: It was definitely arson. Inspectors found charred remains of a fire bomb.
Anna: So according to his paperwork, his mother is dead, deceased, and there are no other relatives listed. Um, full name is dr. Matthew randall hunter. Mm-hmm, yeah.
Noah: Did you say matthew hunter?
Anna: Oh, hold on, paul. Uh, yeah, it's this guy in here. He was in a fire, and they can't locate his family, poor guy. So I'm -- I called in a favor to headquarters. What? Yeah, I'm still here. Uh, so well, then just -- you know, call me back and let me know what you find out. Ok, bye.
Anna: You ok?
Anna: Do you know him?
Laura: I can get out of this chair whenever I like.
Lulu: It's just beyond good timing. I needed you so much.
Laura: You still do, don't you?
Lulu: Yes, yes. I do. I -- my hallucinations of logan made me think I was going insane and then I come in here and you woke up. You woke up like that. And you talked me through my fears, and then my hallucinations went away. It's like -- it's like I needed you so much, I invented you.
Laura: Invented me?
Lulu: Nobody else has seen you but me. You don't want anybody else to see you. You don't even want nikolas or lucky. What if I've made you up -- doctor: Laura -- oh, I'm sorry to interrupt.
Lulu: Who are you? Doctor: I'm here to consult on your mother's case.
Sep 19, 2008 01:41
Jax: So you enjoyed the flowers, huh?
Leyla: Are you kidding? They were the envy of the nurses' station. And quite unnecessary. I had to check the card twice just to make sure they were for me.
Jax: Well, that was just my way of saying thank you for helping me last night, you know? I'll be climbing mountains all over the world thanks to your healing ways, so thank you.
Leyla: You're welcome.
Carly: So, tell me about these computer dates.
Spinelli: It's a -- it's a simple system really. It matches up to 25 compatibility points such as career, income, hobbies, and a perfect romantic getaway.
Maxie: Spinelli and I took the test for you, but we have some promising leads.
Jax: You're beautiful tonight.
Carly: Yeah, just tell me about the men I'm going to be dating.
Anna: You do know him, don't you? Yeah, that blank look is a dead giveaway.
Noah: I don't want to talk about it.
Anna: Noah.
Anna: Hey, don't do that. Matt, dr. Hunter, it's ok. You're safe. You're at general hospital.
Diane: I knew better. I knew better than to get involved with max giambetti. But did I listen? Of course I didn't listen. I never listen to myself. It was his manly demeanor and his abs. You really can't even begin to imagine his abs. His -- his puppy dog eyes and his cheap, dreadful suits. All right, look, I'm a professional, and we have got a meeting to go to, and I'm going to be just fine.
Jason: Yeah, we have some notes to look over, don't we?
Diane: Yes, they're right here. I have all the plans for the redevelopment project right here.
Jax: Great.
Diane: I should have known that max would turn out to be a lying, cheating, two-timing swine. Oh, god, I'm going to miss him.
Laura: Dr. Mcginnis, I'd like you to meet my daughter, lulu.
Dr. McGinnis: Glenn mcginnis. I've heard a lot about you.
Laura: I still brag about my children.
Dr. McGinnis: Forgive me, i thought you didn't want your family to know that you'd woken up.
Laura: Well, the best-laid plans, as they say -- anyway, my daughter has quite a few questions about my condition.
Dr. McGinnis: I am sure she does. So I have your permission to tell her everything?
Laura: Yes, I want her to know exactly what's going on.
Dr. McGinnis: Ok, ask away.
Lulu: How come I'm the only one at shadybrook that knows my mom woke up?
Laura: My daughter has never been one to mince words.
Lulu: I just want to be clear on what's happening.
Dr. McGinnis: I'm sure you do. This is your mother's file if you want to examine it, all right? Now, I'll start at the beginning. As you probably know, ls-49 was developed in france. It's still part of a clinical trial. Your own mother is one of the few patients in the united states who's taken the drug. Now, the clinic who's running the trial -- they're being very quiet about this. No one really knows what the long-term effects of ls-49 are going to be. They don't want to raise false hope, nor do they want to expose themselves to liability, so they're not making any claims at all.
Lulu: Well, that makes sense.
Dr. McGinnis: Now, some of the patients who took the ls-49 and had a relapse are beginning to wake up, and we're not sure why.
Lulu: But why didn't you tell nikolas? I mean, that's my brother.
Dr. McGinnis: And your mother's legal guardian, I know.
Lulu: Yeah, so, I mean, shouldn't the hospital notify him? Isn't that the law?
Dr. McGinnis: Absolutely, under normal circumstances. But as your mother's relapse became more and more notable, she signed a certain number of documents while she was still of sound mind.
Laura: I didn't want nikolas to be burdened with that, lulu.
Dr. McGinnis: Now, the first one is very simple. It just allows the hospital to continue to give your mother care should any developments or changes occur with ls-49. Now, this one is different. This expressly denies permission to notify anyone, including your mother's legal guardian, if she should wake up. And we're also forbidden from discussing her treatment with ls-49 with anyone at all.
Laura: Because it is my life, lulu, and it is my illness. I want to be the one to get the information first, and then i will decide what to do with it.
Dr. McGinnis: Now, these are the signed documents. You're free to review them if you'd like.
Lulu: How long is my mom going to stay awake this time?
Robin: Hey.
Patrick: Hey.
Robin: The labs on matt hunter should be back soon. I know you're concerned.
Patrick: Oh, good. Yeah, I know, it's just -- it's weird. I look at him, and I see myself and think about chances I've taken with racing and stuff, and that could be me.
Robin: Well, I have something very special to take your mind off of that -- pre-delivery paperwork. Kelly wants everything to be in order at least a month before the due date.
Patrick: You sure you don't want to handle it by yourself?
Robin: I'm very sure. This is insurance, the checklist for hiv. My preference is to go for a natural birth and then go straight to c-section at the first sign of trouble.
Patrick: That makes sense.
Robin: Here are the transfusion stats and the birth certificate, which means we have to get serious about a name.
Patrick: What do you mean? I thought we were serious. I thought it was going to be plum, or was it pineapple?
Robin: I would like our child to speak to us when she grows up.
Patrick: You know, I was thinking I want our child to have a name that sounds like it's part of a law firm.
Robin: Ok, what about anna karen?
Patrick: Too russian novel.
Robin: Anna georgie? Georgie malcolm.
Patrick: Do you really want to name our daughter after uncle mac?
Robin: Ok, why don't we just forget all the family ties and go with alyssa rose scorpio.
Patrick: That's nice. Alyssa rose. But I'm thinking more along the lines of alyssa rose drake.
Matt: Who are you?
Anna: I'm dr. Robin scorpio's mom. You might have seen me around here sometimes.
Matt: Uh-huh, yeah.
Anna: So you were hurt in a fire.
Matt: Where? It was at -- it was at that clinic?
Anna: Yeah.
Matt: Nadine -- nadine was supposed to meet me there.
Anna: She's ok, you know.
Matt: She's fine?
Anna: Yeah, yeah, yeah, don't worry. Robin's asked me to help. We can't seem to track down any of your family.
Matt: Don't bother. My mother's dead, and my father was never in the picture.
Diane: It's customary to knock.
Sonny: I'm -- what happened was you guys said you were having a meeting. I thought it was with a lawyer. I don't know what's going on here.
Jason: I had a meeting.
Diane: You just can't bear to see anybody happy, can you?
Jason: We're on our way to city council right now.
Sonny: Ok, I wanted to talk to you about the wedding.
Diane: Wedding? You mean that travesty that some people are going to have to sit through? Never mind that you cheat on kate howard and then you lie to her for months. Now you actually expect to be able to marry her. Well, why shouldn't you? You're sonny corinthos. You get everything you want. I mean, look at you, just standing there, so confident that in your icy little world everything belongs to you. Your fiancee, your ex-wife, your bodyguard, and as you go blindly along, leaving a -- leaving a swath of heartbreak and shattered relationships in your wake -- and now you come in here and you've got the gall to mention the word "wedding." Not that a wedding was ever in my future.
Sonny: Jason, I'll talk to you about it later. [Door shuts]
Jax: So tell me about yourself. You're from iran?
Leyla: Well, I was born there, but my parents moved because of, well, politics.
Jax: Uh-huh.
Leyla: I was raised in england.
Jax: And being a nurse is just the first step, correct?
Leyla: How'd you know?
Jax: Well, I just can't picture you being a nurse in upstate new york for the rest of your life.
Leyla: Yeah, I want to go to medical school.
Jax: Ah-ha.
Leyla: But tell me something. What is the thrill in climbing a sheer rock face without so much as a rope?
Jax: Adrenaline. That's the one thing I can always count on. That was a very skillful way of changing the subject there, by the way.
Leyla: Well, you could have really badly hurt yourself.
Jax: Yes, I could have. I've been making all kinds of bad choices lately, but that's about to change.
Spinelli: We strive only to take the sting away and utilize the latest technology to help set you on a new course.
Carly: I don't want to get hit on by every gold digger from here to montana, and I don't want anyone out there in cyberspace knowing anything about me.
Spinelli: No, but it's all screen names up to this point. I mean, further information you wish to share is up to you.
Carly: What's my screen name?
Spinelli: Carolineonthebeach.
Carly: I like that.
Maxie: It was spinelli's idea.
Spinelli: Stone cold has often mentioned your affection for sun and sand.
Carly: Ok, who is my first potential date?
Maxie: Ok, ready2rock, you guys match on 14 different personality points. Let's see, he likes steak --
Spinelli: Mmm.
Maxie: And competitive ping pong.
Spinelli: Ah! Not every category is a perfect match.
Diane: I apologize for that outburst and for arguing with my ex-but-profoundly-gifted lover in front of you and for telling your former employer exactly what he needed to hear.
Jason: If you want to reschedule the city council meeting, it's no problem.
Diane: Jason, do you have any idea the wrangling it took to get the city council to agree to sit in on a special session just to simply discuss a waterfront renovation project with you? Most of them would rather give themselves a pay cut and dock themselves a week's vacation, and I promised them that you were actually going to show up. Of course, they'll all probably be too terrified to speak, which will be a blessing in and of itself, but jason, I'm fine. I'm fine. Just don't think for a second that my -- that my work on this has been negatively affected simply because I have wasted the last several months of my life with a manly, handsome, deeply fulfilling --
Jason: I could go to the meeting by myself.
Diane: Are you -- are you kidding me? Half of them will flee in terror. They think -- they think you're going to mow them all down. I'm fine. I have already spent far too many billable hours on old what's his name. So get out of the way, you petty bureaucrats. Be prepared to give my client everything he is asking for, because diane miller is about to get her groove back.
Robin: Alyssa rose drake, huh? Does that mean that you still want to get married?
Patrick: Now, don't worry. I've learned my lesson. I'll let go of the whole marriage thing.
Robin: Oh, ok, great, so then we're -- we're clear on that.
Patrick: Yeah, but what is wrong with our baby having drake for a last name?
Robin: What's wrong with scorpio? I mean, it makes complete sense to me, since I am the one that wanted to have a baby to begin with, and it would mean a lot to my uncle mac and my father, especially now that he's sick.
Patrick: I can understand that, but biology puts you closer to the baby, at least for the couple years, and giving her my last name would balance that out. I want her to know where her family is. I don't want her to wake up one day in a bad situation and not have that support there.
Robin: Well, that would never happen as long as I'm around.
Patrick: But you don't want to marry me, so who knows where we'll be in 10 years from now, and our little baby having my last name would be my way of being close to her, no matter what happens between us.
Robin: I want my little girl to be a strong, independent woman, just like my mother and just like me.
Patrick: And so do I, and you have your dad's last name, so why can't our little girl have my last name?
Nadine: You don't have to carry me.
Nikolas: Oh, come on. You're suffering from -- from smoke inhalation. I don't want you to get winded. You need to rest and recuperate.
Nadine: Well, I'm -- I'm grateful to be alive and that you pulled me out of that fire.
Nikolas: Even though you insisted that I get matt hunter out first?
Nadine: Well, if you hadn't, he might have died.
Nikolas: Yeah, but see, if you would have died, I would have never forgiven myself for leaving you behind, see?
Nadine: Well, I didn't, and i feel like I'm here under false pretenses. I mean, I don't mind resting for a couple of days, but I'm not really that hurt.
Nikolas: No? Well, I'll tell you what. Think of it this way. If you're here, well, that means that you're not climbing through the police commissioner's window or following people around on the docks or getting yourself burnt to a crisp. See, it's very therapeutic to me.
Nadine: Ah, ok, well, then.
Alfred: Good afternoon, miss crowell. I welcome you on behalf of the entire staff, and we'll do our best to make your stay here as comfortable as possible.
Nadine: Well, thank you, mr. -- Oh, alfred, I don't know your last name.
Alfred: You only address a butler by his first name, miss.
Nadine: Oh, well, in that case, you're going to have to call me nadine.
Alfred: It's an honor to have you here, nadine, and might i express my personal delight that you were not incinerated last evening.
Nadine: Yeah, I'm feeling pretty good about that myself.
Dr. McGinnis: From a clinical standpoint, lulu, all we can do is wait, watch, and hope for the best. You -- you just have to realize your mother could possibly just fade away, or she could rebound and live a perfectly normal life. We just don't know.
Laura: So at this point, it makes sense for me to stay here at shadybrook and give myself every opportunity to recover.
Dr. McGinnis: Do you have any other questions?
Lulu: Um, I don't know. I don't think so. It's a lot to think about.
Dr. McGinnis: Sure is. Well, I'll be around if you need me.
Lulu: Thank you. I'm so sorry that I doubted you. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Will you forgive me?
Laura: Oh, it's ok.
Jax: Well, I had -- I had no idea that the mountain that i was climbing was considered sacred, although the fact that no one in that part of south america had ever climbed it should have given me a clue. Well, I found out rather late in the game that the tradition was to shoot the climbers as they were scaling down the mountain.
Leyla: Did you get shot at?
Jax: No, i didn't get shot at, but -- but all the tribe was there with, you know, full war paint and spears.
Leyla: They did not have spears.
Jax: No, they had spears, seriously.
Leyla: You are such a liar.
Jax: I considered presenting myself as a god who fell from the sky, but that would have been a hard sell on a good day, so --
Leyla: So what did you do?
Jax: I made a deal. You know, I basically told them I was rich and I owned one of these local internet companies down there in south america, and I gave the entire village free internet for the next 50 years.
Leyla: That so did not happen.
Jax: It's true.
Carly: What if all these dates are total losers?
Spinelli: Well, there is -- there is a certain amount of risk involved. We only know them by the number of matches through their compatibility quiz and their screen names.
Carly: I shouldn't do this.
Spinelli: No, no, they great but broken-hearted valkyrie must not lose faith. Onward, upward.
Carly: I have high expectations. Jax is a really tough act to follow.
Carly: Ok, well, you're not chickening out now.
Spinelli: Oh, oh, oh, your first respective date just messaged.
Carly: Who is it?
Spinelli: Ready2rock. He looks forward to meeting you, and -- although he does have limited availability.
Carly: How limited?
Spinelli: Well, I -- I guess he's never free on weekends.
Maxie: Uh-oh.
Spinelli: What troubles fair maximista about that?
Maxie: He's married.
Leyla: Working with epiphany johnson can be a real test of endurance. But I have to be honest, I've learned an incredible amount.
Jax: I can imagine. But besides work, if there's one thing that you could do today that you've never done before, what would it be?
Leyla: I would kayak on the open sea.
Jax: Really?
Leyla: Yeah.
Jax: That's one of my favorite sports to do.
Leyla: You're kidding.
Jax: No.
Leyla: Well, I've always wanted to try it.
Maxie: Who's next?
Spinelli: A 15-point match, especially on decisiveness and strength of character. Dream date is -- how did this happen?
Maxie: Championship wrestling?
Carly: Who is this guy?
Spinelli: Strngnsxy -- what? There's no vowels.
Maxie: Look -- oh, strong and sexy.
Carly: Pass.
Spinelli: Oh.
Jax: Oh, the water in tahiti is wonderful this time of the year. Now, if you care to go, we could throw in some scuba diving as well.
Leyla: Tahiti?
Spinelli: 18-point match, loves business, ballroom dancing, family-oriented.
Carly: Sounds good. What's his screen name?
Spinelli: Burnbabyburn.
Carly: Hmm, tell me more.
Leyla: You can't honestly be offering to fly me to tahiti.
Jax: Why not? Life's short. Why not enjoy it?
Leyla: Yeah, that seems to be the standard philosophy for men coming off a breakup.
Jax: Well, it's a wonderful way to live, all the same.
Leyla: I agree, but jax, you're not even divorced yet.
Jax: Yes, but my marriage is over.
Spinelli: He's a widower. He lost his wife six years ago.
Maxie: That's sad.
Spinelli: Yeah, he gardens. He enjoys going down to the city, mostly to see the opera. He has a -- a very demanding career but wants to share his free time with a companion.
Carly: Sounds lonely.
Maxie: Well, maybe you can cheer him up.
Carly: I hope burnbabyburn meets someone spectacular, but it won't be me.
Spinelli: Ok, well, the next candidate is also a widower, 20 matches. He's rich, and a dream date is a tour of wall street.
Maxie: Hmm, sellhighthensplit.
Spinelli: Yeah, excellent advice.
Carly: I don't need to date or marry for money. I just want someone I can relax with.
Maxie: Besides, any bachelor, no matter how rich he is, isn't going to be as cute as jax.
Leyla: You know, I have been involved in a rebound relationship once before. Never again. So thanks for the champagne and the flowers. And I guess I'll see you around.
Spinelli: Ok, last candidate.
Maxie: Successful attorney, divorced, loves to travel --
Carly: What's his name?
Maxie: Scottiethehottie.
Spinelli: Has a nice ring, don't you think?
Carly: Oh, god, delete that.
Spinelli: I'm sorry. The jackal fails to see the cause for the valkyrie's immediate dislike.
Carly: Attorney, divorced, arrogant enough to call himself a hottie, and his first name's scottie?
Maxie: Baldwin, scott baldwin? Oh, my god --
Spinelli: Oh, my god. The prickly prosecutor. Oh, abort, abort. Delete, delete, delete. I'm so sorry.
Laura: I don't blame you for doubting it. I mean, why wouldn't you? You were having those visions you were having those visions of logan for weeks, and -- and they weren't real. I actually think it's a good sign that you questioned my recovery.
Lulu: I just needed you so much, I thought I dreamed you up.
Laura: No, the truth is, you're helping me as much as I'm helping you.
Lulu: I'm not sure about that.
Laura: No, it's true. It is true. But I think that maybe it isn't fair of me to ask you to keep such a huge secret, especially when you've got all this other stress in your life.
Lulu: Please don't worry about that.
Laura: I know that I'm being a little selfish, but I really would like to keep it just between us just for a little bit longer. I don't know how we'll ever explain it to lucky and nikolas, or to luke, but -- I don't know. Maybe I'm just a coward.
Lulu: You're the bravest person I know.
Noah: How's the pain?
Matt: I can deal.
Noah: Has the attendant spoken to you yet?
Matt: What do you want?
Noah: Has he told you about the extent of your injuries?
Matt: Yeah, I'm in icu. I have head trauma and third-degree burns. My internal injury is from smoke inhalation. I can feel my legs, but I wish i couldn'T.
Noah: Yeah, you're going to need a skin graft.
Matt: It's a little late in the game to be showing concern, don't you think, dad?
Sep 19, 2008 01:42
Sam: Thank you. Thank you so much for coming over here. I needed to be around a sane person. So, did you get any results back on the clinic fire?
Lucky: Yeah, we confirmed it was arson.
Sam: Ok. Fine. I just know that jerry's behind it.
Lucky: Then shouldn't you tell alexis?
Sam: Should I? Well, yeah, I guess in a rational world, I would tell alexis. Absolutely. But my mother doesn't trust me already, especially around men. And if I tell her that I feel something negative about jerry, I better be able to have something to back it up.
Lucky: Then you can't keep playing him indefinitely. I mean, if this whole thing blows up in your face before we catch him --
Sam: Listen, my mother is a fair person in her own way, ok? And if I tell her that I suspect jerry, then she's going to want to go to him, get his side of the story, and he's not going to react well to being double-crossed. If he thinks that he is a suspect, he is going to start covering his tracks, and we just -- we may never catch him.
Lucky: Yeah. We should never have gotten involved in this.
Sam: Just hold me. Tight, please. We're going to get through this.
Alexis: John zacchara has been found not guilty. My children are safe. Scott baldwin hasn't called me for, I'd say, seven-and-a-half hours. So as distracted as I was this afternoon, tonight, I'm all yours.
Jerry: Well, it's an enticing offer, indeed.
Alexis: What?
Jerry: Um, well, I'm not entirely sure how to approach this.
Alexis: This can't be good.
Jerry: Well, I need to be honest, which in itself is quite unnerving.
Alexis: Do I need to call a lawyer? Are you going to confess something? Should I recuse myself?
Jerry: No, no, no. This has nothing to do with any of that. It's -- it's about sam.
Alexis: I'm listening.
Jerry: I've -- I've made excuses for her showing up repeatedly, especially, well, since we're together, and it's happened several times, and it's escalating.
Alexis: Hmm. I've noticed that.
Jerry: Yes, she's invited me to her apartment on several occasions, and, you know, i don't want for you to revisit, you know, old history between you and her, but I think sam's coming on to me.
Carly: I'm not so sure about this whole internet dating thing.
Spinelli: Come on. The valkyrie has to keep an open mind.
Carly: How did I match up with two widowers, a cheating husband, and scottie baldwin?
Maxie: Well, we don't know for sure that it was scott baldwin.
Spinelli: Yeah, I mean, no system is perfect.
Maxie: You have to be realistic, carly. Guys like jax, they come along once in a lifetime. So whoever you're with next will probably have to be a compromise.
Kate: Thanks for coming over. I didn't know who else to call.
Sonny: What?
Max: Boy-toy -- that's what she called me, it was her boy-toy.
Kate: It's been a recurrent theme.
Max: I thought we had something real. I thought I mattered.
Kate: Uh, I think he and diane had some sort of misunderstanding. I'm not quite sure how I fit in, or why he would show up here.
Max: I was nothing to her. A passing fancy, a temporary amusement. And why? Because I wanted to mind my own business.
Sonny: Max --
Max: Shh. Do I seem like a boy-toy to you?
Sonny: You had a fight with diane?
Max: Boss, she broke up with me, and I didn't even do anything.
Sonny: I just saw diane earlier with jason --
Max: Wait, wait, wait. Diane broke up with me to be with jason? Oh.
Diane: Name me one thing more invigorating than shutting down a bunch of small-town politicians with a good presentation, strong arguments, and a silent but terrifying client. You have to admit, we were brilliant.
Jason: They are going to give us everything that we want.
Diane: Well, of course they did. Oh, come on, jason, the city council should be grateful that you're even interested in renovating that section of the piers. The whole project is going to make the area safer, more commercial. It won't cost a dime of the taxpayers' money.
Jason: You were, uh -- you were good with the mayor.
Diane: Yeah, yeah. Well, I know a guilty man when i see one. The man is ripe for an affair, if he isn't all ready having one or two -- or 17. A dog.
Jason: Oh, yeah. He agreed to everything. Why -- why are you mad at him?
Diane: I just feel like he's up to something. And he was especially nervous around you.
Jason: I'm used to that.
Diane: You're right. You're absolutely right. There is nothing to worry about. So now it's time for me to go home and make a good strong martini, relish my solitude, and hit the internet. There is no better cure for heartbreak than shopping for shoes online in the middle of the night, and I have seen the most delicious pair of slingbacks. What's that?
Jason: Graciella found it when she cleaned the office.
Diane: It's max'S. He must have lost it the night we -- he was devastated when he lost it. I got it for him for our three-and-a-half week anniversary.
Nikolas: Ok, so I ordered some roasted chicken for dinner. What are you doing?
Nadine: Where's the vacuum?
Nikolas: The what?
Nadine: Vacuum cleaner. It's a machine. It's picks up dust and crumbs, sometimes it has a big hose or a bag. On wheels, and you push it or pull it. It makes a lot of noise.
Nikolas: I'm sorry. I have no idea.
Nadine: Well, I need one. I got cookie crumbs all over the place, and no offense to your cleaning lady, but there's a bunch of dust bunnies under that chair.
Nikolas: Dust what? What's a dust bunny?
Nadine: I never know when you're teasing.
Nikolas: I'll tell you what. I'll tell alfred, and he'll take care of everything. How's that?
Nadine: Oh, I hope I didn't get alfred into trouble.
Nikolas: No, no, of course not. In fact, he may have said something about the maid being on vacation. She usually does all the cleaning on this floor.
Nadine: I -- I'm not complaining. I just didn't want to leave a mess.
Nikolas: No, no. But see, the idea here is for you to get some rest while my staff takes care of you. You understand?
Nadine: Yeah, I don't know if i was meant to be waited on.
Nikolas: Well, could you get used to it, just for me?
Laura: Honey, are you all right?
Lulu: Yeah, I'm -- I don't know, I'm just a little disappointed. Johnny came to see me earlier today. But lainie made me go to group, and when I came back, johnny was gone.
Laura: You expected him to wait?
Lulu: Yeah. I mean, after everything that we've been through -- yeah, i would. I mean, I probably shouldn't worry, though. He left me a note and said that he loved me and he didn't want to interfere with my recovery.
Laura: Well, then, maybe it's best that you don't see him for awhile, and you just focus on that recovery.
Lulu: That's exactly what lucky said. I will be so happy when the doctors pronounce me sane, so that lucky and nikolas will stop fighting about me and johnny.
Laura: Your brothers are fighting?
Lulu: Well, nikolas understands that I love johnny, and lucky wants me to stay away from him.
Laura: Honey, is it possible that maybe lucky is right, and as much as you love this boy, johnny, that maybe he isn't good for you?
Kate: Ok, max, one more cup, all right? It will make you feel better.
Max: This doesn't make any sense.
Sonny: You got to eat, max. Because if you don't eat, it's not good for you.
Kate: I only have lettuce.
Sonny: You have lettuce?
Max: Diane likes lettuce. Why do women always like lettuce? And why couldn't I see it when it was right in front of me? It must have started last summer. Diane defended jason at his trial. I mean, who knows how many hours they spent together?
Sonny: Ok, ja -- jason is not involved with diane, max. Come on.
Max: Wait, wait, wait. Suddenly it makes sense. It explains why -- it explains why diane likes jason better. She always yells at you. She never yells at jason. Oh, no, not that guy. And jason couldn't wait to boot me out of there.
Sonny: You quit.
Max: What choice did I have?
Sonny: Well, you -- you said to me that, you know, you missed working for mary, or were you lying to me?
Max: No, I mean, jason made sure of that.
Sonny: Oh.
Max: And also he could get his hands on her.
Kate: All right, max, look, i know diane very well. She adores you.
Max: She's a good liar. I mean, I'll give her that. And she is a lawyer, after all.
Sonny: Max, max, max, you got to understand something. You know, diane was probably just upset because she broke up with you, and jason was comforting her.
Max: You know what you walked in on. Don't sugar coat it for me, ok? It was my mistake. I should have kept my eye on the prize. That's what diane did. You know what? That's what I'm going to do.
Sonny: No, no, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Give me your keys.
Sonny: Give me your keys. You're not driving anywhere.
Max: No, no, no. I'm not driving. My brother's driving. He better drive fast, because I'm going to go get the woman of my dreams.
Kate: Um, he means diane, right?
Sonny: Well, I hope he finds the woman of his dreams, because, uh, I have.
Carly: So, what you're telling me is this is basically hopeless.
Spinelli: Fear not brave, but brokenhearted valkyrie for one savoir suitor remains, and you match in almost every category.
Maxie: Spinelli, no, no, i don't think that's who carly had in mind.
Carly: Who is it? Danger dude?
Noah: I'm not here to make excuses.
Matt: Just leave.
Noah: Look, your mother and i reached a decision that I would provide child support and -- and pay for some of your education.
Matt: What is that? Hmm? What is that, like $5,000? Because that probably didn't pay for two days of medical school.
Noah: We made this agreement before you were even born. Like I said, I provide financial support on the condition that i never -- I never make any contact with you. I more than kept my side of the bargain, believe me.
Matt: Yeah. Ok. So then, just go away. Just go. You didn't want me then, and i don't need you now.
Noah: Look, you're badly injured and you need surgery. I can help you.
Matt: I don't want to ever take a damn thing from you.
Noah: This is not the time to argue about this.
Matt: Get me another doctor, would you?
Noah: Look, you can be as angry as you want, but I'm still your father.
Jason: Diane pushed the whole redevelopment project through the city council. It was, I mean, it was great. She did a -- she did a great job. She kept --
Carly: It only validates what I've known for years. Don't know why I needed the internet.
Jason: Yeah, it is carly, bernie. Good guess. I -- I'll call you back.
Carly: You know, I should have known better than to even consider doing the internet thing, but it was better than watching jax on that stupid --
Jason: You know what, spinelli was trying to help you out in his own --
Carly: It was a total disaster. You should have seen the men that e-mailed. I'm pretty sure one was scottie baldwin. When all along, there was one man that matched up 24 out of 25 times on the compatibility quiz.
Jason: So who was the poor guy?
Carly: You.
Sonny: You want to know what i did?
Kate: Hmm?
Sonny: I went over to jason's to invite him to the wedding.
Kate: Ok.
Sonny: Not long ago, you know, he would have been the best man.
Kate: Well, mike is excited --
Sonny: Yeah?
Kate: That he gets to be the best man. It's nice to have family at the wedding.
Sonny: What about your family?
Kate: Well, no one from my family will be there, I can assure you.
Sonny: But that's not a good thing. No, I'm just -- you know, it isn'T.
Kate: What are we going to do? I made my choices. There's no going back, right? Anyway, let's review the seating arrangements.
Sonny: All right. You know what? As long as you put people where they're not fistfighting, I'm happy.
Kate: I could really use your help.
Sonny: I got a meeting.
Kate: Couldn't you reschedule?
Sonny: No, because I -- I -- it's important. I got to -- I got to -- I got to be there now.
Lulu: Mom? Mom? Mom.
Laura: It's ok, honey. I was just resting.
Lulu: I know, I know, but I am scared that I'm going to come in here and you're not going to wake up.
Laura: Well, I suppose that could happen. But I don't think it will. I -- I feel different this time.
Lulu: Well, good. I'm glad.
Laura: But, honey, I've been thinking a lot about us, and i think that it's really not fair of me to ask you to keep such a huge secret, especially if your brothers are fighting with each other, and you've got this situation going on with johnny. And I think you need your family more than ever right now. So I think it's time. We should tell lucky and nikolas that I -- that I woke up.
Nadine: It's not that difficult to do chores on crutches. I mean, it takes a little longer, but they get done. And I was lucky that all I got out of it was a broken leg.
Nikolas: From falling off of a hay truck?
Nadine: Yeah, well, it was pretty late into the night, and my brother warned me to stop stacking so quickly, but i wouldn't listen. I just wanted to finish. Anyway, that broken leg was a lot worse than a little smoke inhalation.
Nikolas: So what you're saying is, you're immune to pain.
Nadine: I'm not in pain, except when I cough. And I definitely don't need to be pampered.
Nikolas: I disagree with you.
Nadine: Why'd you stay with me at the hospital? And why'd you bring me back here? I mean, I thought maybe we were on to something before the fire, but it seems like something's changed.
Nikolas: Yeah. Um, I don't know, when I -- when I pulled you out of -- out of the building and I thought i was too late, and you weren't breathing, I -- look, I don't know, I -- I guess -- I don't quite know what's going on, but I know that something's going on, something good.
Nadine: I don't know what to say, for once.
Sep 19, 2008 04:59
Lulu: Don't misunderstand.I think it's great that youwant to tell nikolas and luckyabout your recovery, but this morning, you were so positive that you weren't ready.So, what changed?
Sam: If i don't stop Jerry, alot of people are going to gethurt here.
Lucky: Let's pull the evidencewe have so far together, ok?
Sam: Mm-hmm.
Lucky: I'll sit with mac, and maybe I can get enough manpoweron the case.
Sam: No, no, no, no, Lucky.The more people that aboutthis, the bigger chance that Jerry's going to figure this out.
Lucky: I don't like where thisis going, Sam.I don't want to shake your confidence, but I'm afraid you might get hurt.
Sam: Hey, come on in, please.
Alexis: Thanks.
Sam: I hope I didn't say anything that would, kind of --at the office.
Alexis: What? No, no, not at all.
Sam: Ok.Can I get you a glass of wine or something to drink?
Alexis: No.
Sam, I don't know how to approach this, and I really --I don't want to interfere inyour life, but the last time something came up I didn't say anything, it turned into adisaster.
Sam: I'm sorry.Look, just say whatever is that you're going to say.
Alexis: Are you coming on to Jerry?
Carly: According to this online dating program, you and I are soul mates.
Jason: I told Spinelli I didn't want anything to do with this.
Carly: Oh, don't get mad at him.I'm sure he just did it becausehe cares.
Jason: No, he did it because he does whatever Maxie wants himto do.
Carly: Spinelli knows you well enough to give you an accurate profile.Out of 25 compatibility points, there's only one where you and I don't match. Guess which one?
Kate: Well, I've never seen amore classic example of male avoidance, the way you've come up with this mysterious errand you have to run just so you can avoid helping me with the wedding.
Sonny: It's important.
Kate: Sonny, I am not asking you to arrange flowers.I am asking you to help me with the seating chart, which is critical. If we put the wrong person at the wrong table, it would all blow up in our face.
Sonny: Ok, would it help you if I trust you completely with it?
Kate: You better trust me.
Sonny: You're right.You know what? Looking at that chart just makes my skin...Crawl. But, listen, I do -- I reallydo, and I know you're going to get upset, but -- I got someplace I've got to go.
Kate: You're starting to scare me.
Noah: I'm not here to pretend that you and I share anything more than DNA.
Matt: Yeah, well, why should now be any different than the rest of my life?
Noah: You're still my son.
Patrick: Did I just -- Matt Hunter is your son?
lulu: Has something happened?Are you -- are you starting tofeel tired?
Laura: No, don't be afraid.There's nothing to be worried about.I mean, it's not like i feel myself fading away, and i want to see your brothers That's not it at all.
Lulu: So what changed?
Laura: It's just that i don't think it's fair of me to ask you to keep this secret anymore. And it's not fair to your brothers either. I think i've been selfish, and it's time to stop. Unless you think it's a mistake.
Lulu: You're asking me?
Laura: After everything we've been through together, there's no one whose judgment i would trust more If you think i should wait to tell your brothers, then i will.
Carly: Go ahead, Jason, guess how we're not compatible?
Jason: No, thanks.
Carly: It's fun. Guess how we don't match?
Jason: You talk all the time and i don't.
Carly: True. But that means we're compatible.It would be a disaster if we sat there and stared at each other, just in silence.
Jason: Well, maybe we should try that right now.
Carly: Oh, come on. Guess again.
Jason: You have a real problem with logic.
Carly: And you are a linear thinker. Again, perfect balance. Right here.
Jason: You make stuff up all the time.
Carly: If that's your way of calling me a liar, i'm going to try not to be offended. Although true.Whereas, you are incapable of anything but the truth, which is why you don't say much. Again, a way we are perfectly matched.The chart says it right here. In all the areas we're supposedto be alike -- let's see, risk taking, physical activity, personal loyalty --we match on every level. There's only one place we don't match.
Jason: I don't care.And I don't want to hear it.
Carly: Yes, you do.
Jason: No, you can keep talking as long as you want. I'm not going to listen.
Carly: Exactly.
Carly: We're stubborn.I know i'm right.You think you are.Right there is why we can never be in a romantic relationship.
Jason: Agreed.
Carly: We would constantly clash because each of us thinks weknow best It's sad when you think aboutit.If it weren't for your tinylittle personality flaw, wewould be a perfect match.
Sonny: What i have to do hasnothing to do with the mob.
Kate: Mm-hmm, but you were at jason's.
Sonny: Yes, i was, because i went over to jason's to ask himto come to the wedding.
Kate: So is he coming?
Sonny: I don't know.Because, when i got there, diane was sobbing in his arms, and i don't know what he would have said if we were alone.
Kate: Mm-hmm, but you want himto come.
Sonny: You know, him and i are more than friends.We're like brothers.So not having him at the wedding, it just shows how much our lives have changed.
Kate: It's hard, huh?
Sonny: Yeah.
Kate: Leaving your past behind.
Sonny: You did it.
Kate: Yeah.
Kate: And i didn't know what it would cost me.
Sonny: Mm-hmm.
Kate: I have no regrets, sonny,r ight?Because of all of my choices brought me here.
Sonny: Right.
Kate: Brought me to you.
Sonny: So?
Kate: What? What?Look, i just -- memories comeup sometimes, all right?Unexpected memories, like, idon't know. My last thanksgiving in Bensonhurst.
Sonny: That was a long time ago.
Kate: Yeah, it was a long time ago.It was my senior year at princeton. All right, it was just, you know, your typical falconeri crazy Thanksgiving.
Sonny: Yes.
Kate: Uncle nicky had one too many, as usual. Olivia was arguing with her parents about some boyfriend. Some latest boyfriend.
I think it was a plumber's apprentice.
Kate: Big catch. And then there was auntie talia,sobbing her eyes out because someone criticized her lasagna.
[Sonny chuckles]
Kate: I don't know.I just looked around and i just thought, this is my last Thanksgiving with them.Where i wanted to be and who they were weren't compatible.
Sonny: You always knew what youwanted.
Kate: Mm-hmm.So the next year, when i waseating a turkey sandwich in myapartment in manhattan, alone,i had to say to myself, "look, this is your choice.This is the first step, and youbetter get used to it."
Sonny: Did you?
[Kate laughs]
Sonny: No.
Kate: Sure.No, what?What am i going to do?Everybody's scattered now,right?Or dead.I don't have any regrets, sonny.Ok?
Sonny: You know what?Whatever you want to do thisthanksgiving, i will give it toyou.
Kate: I don't want you to worryabout me.Besides, i'm going to be worriedabout you without michael andmorgan, and i'm sure that alexis will find some excuse not tohave kristina in town.
Sonny: Probably.Looks like it's you, me,and mike, just eating mac and cheese at kelley's.
Kate: What are you talkingabout, mr. Cook?
Sonny: No, it's -- well, mikeand i, we cooked this huge pig once, and we almost went to blows, so you don't want to gothere.
Kate: It doesn't sound pretty.
Kate: Ok.I know you have that errand.
Sonny: Yeah, do me a favor?
Kate: Ahem.First --
Sonny: Yes?
Kate: You stay out of trouble.
Sonny: Yeah, yeah.Of course.Uh, do me a favor, ok?Do not sit alexis and ric atthe same table.Because it will get ugly.Ok?
Kate: All right, boss.
Sonny: All right.I'll see you.
Sam: Well, i have spent sometime with jerry recently.
Alexis: Why?Why?You don't like him.You have nothing but the lowestopinion of him.
Sam: True.
[Sam laughs]
Sam: Ok, this is what i was thinking.I was thinking that since you think so highly of him, that i would give him the benefit of the doubt.
Alexis: So you wanted to get toknow him better?
Sam: Uh --
Alexis: He said that you madethe initial overture.
Sam: What?Jerry said that i hit on him?
Alexis: Yeah, he did.Look, i don't know who hit onwhat.I don't want to know.I just -- whatever it is that you two are doing, i need you to stop.Ok?Thank you.
Sam: Oh, i hate that bastardjerry.
Patrick: How long have you knownthat he's your father?
Matt: All my life.Oh, let me guess.You didn't know.
Noah: Say what you have to say.
Patrick: Did mom know?
Noah: Unless she hid it fromme, she had no idea.Your mother knew i hadn'talways been faithful, but wehad worked it out between us. When matt's mom donna turned up pregnant, i made a side deal with her that i would financially support matt until he was 18.
Patrick: Oh, a side deal, so you paid her to go away?
Noah: Well, if you want to call it that. She actually got a job offer in albuquerque when matt was still a baby.
Patrick: How many times did he try and get in touch with you?
Matt: Counting today? Once.
Patrick: You son of a bitch.
Patrick: So you're just another egotistical surgeon who can't keep his pants zipped.
Noah: Well, you're just real happy to rush to judgment, aren't you?
Patrick: You make me sick.
Matt: Is this one of those warm and fuzzy moments i missed by not having you as my dad?
Noah: Did you come to port charles to see me, or to meet patrick?
Matt: Don't flatter yourself. I had a fellowship.
Noah: You knew we were both here.
Matt: I was curious. I'm not now.
Noah: Any apology i can make is years too late and wouldn't make a difference anyway.
Anna: Hi. Sorry. Am i interrupting? You could cut this atmosphere with a knife. I don't know how good that is for the patient.
Noah: Yeah, i was just leaving.
Matt: Watch. Watch, he's good at this.
Noah: I didn't say anything to you before because i wanted to talk to matt first.
Matt: Well, thank you for the consideration.
Noah: Matt's my son.
Patrick: Page dr. Wallace, please.
Elizabeth: He's not expected for another hour.
Patrick: That's why doctors have pagers, isn't it?
Elizabeth: I'll be happy to find dr. Wallace for you, dr. Drake. And, now, why don't you take a timeout and deal with whatever's eating at you.
Patrick: Sorry. Can you just let me know when he gets here, please?
Robin: Hey, you.
Robin: So, i have been giving some thought to our baby's last name.
Patrick: You know, robin, it's not a good time right now.
Robin: What's wrong?
Patrick: Well, i just found out i have a brother.
Max: Mrs. C Hi. I was waiting for you.
Carly: Is everything ok, max?
Max: Well, i -- i heard about you and mr. Jacks, and that it was -- well, that it was over. Is it? Is that right?
Carly: What are you trying to say?
Max: Well. As it turns out, chances might have it, i'm also free at the moment.
Carly: Well, what happened to you and diane?
Max: Things didn't work out. It happens. Diane chose someone else. Someone more important than me.
Carly: Who's more important than you, max?
Max: Jason.
Carly: Jason? Jason and diane? Oh, come on. That doesn't make any sense.
Max: Well, someone we know and trust saw them together, which means i'm officially free to move on now. I sort of -- i was hoping that, you know, i've always had the greatest respect for you. And we're both unattached. Would you go out with me, Mrs. C.?
Carly: Uh, well, you know, i think you should give yourself a little bit of time to adjust since you guys just broke up.
Max: Why prolong the agony?
Carly: Why don't we set up something for next week? After we both have a little bit of time to --
Max: No, tonight. Well, all i meant was that, you know, this is my first night without her and you don't have him, and why should either of us be alone?
Alexis: Listen, i came to talk to you about you, and to see about your broken heart.
Diane: Oh. That would imply that i gave a big galoot of a man some sort of power over me. Not in this lifetime.
Alexis: So you don't want to talk about it? Ok, do you mind if i talk about something? No, i don't want to be selfish.
Diane: Of course, you do.
Alexis: You're right. So, did i mention to you that, it was about two years ago, that i discovered that sam was my daughter?
Diane: Wow. We are going back.
Alexis: Do you remember if i said anything -- did i mention anything about the fact that i walked in on sam and ric having sex?
Diane: No, you --
Alexis: That was right after i found out that i had cancer.
Diane: Icky. Why -- alexis, why are we rehashing ancient, devastating history?
Alexis: There's a possibility --
Diane: Say it. Spit it out.
Alexis: Jerry said something to me, and sam didn't actually deny it. Do you think there's any chance that history could be repeating itself?
Diane: Are you saying that your daughter is hitting on your new man?
Sep 19, 2008 05:01
Sam: Tell me how come nothing is ever easy with me and alexis.
Lucky: You're asking the wrong guy. I can't remember the last time my dad and i saw eye to eye. We're just different.
Sam: Yeah, different. I mean, obviously that's it. Because even when we mean well,
alexis and i, we wind up on opposite sides. It's not like i can blame her for being suspicious because sleeping with ric was probablythe worst mistake i ever made. And now jerry has set me up to make it look like that i'm pursuing him. As if i would ever, ever hurt her like that again.
Lucky: Then defend yourself.
[Sam sighs]
lucky: Sam, you need to let alexis know that it was jerry who was coming on to you. Not the other way around.
Sam: No, lucky. I need to keep this going long enough until i get evidence against him.
Lucky: I know you mean well, sam, but it's not -- it's not working. Jerry's turning your best intentions against you.
Sam: No, jerry has just raised the stakes, and i am not backing down until i expose him for the slime that he is. Robin: I don't believe this. Matt knew the entire time that he was your brother, and he didn't say anything?
Patrick: Yeah. And so did my father. Do you remember when eli love's son came here, and he refused to acknowledge or accept him, and i thought -- we all thought what scum he was?
Robin: Mm-hmm.
Patrick: Well, it turns out my dad's the same way.
Robin: Did he, at least, try to explain himself?
Patrick: What's there to explain? He cheated on my mother, apparently more than once. Had a son. And matt hunter is that son. And now my brother is lying in i.C.U. I can't believe i just said "my brother."
Robin: I'm sorry. This is crazy.
Patrick: Pretty amazing gene pool i come from, huh? No wonder you don't want to marry me.
Sonny: How you doing?
Bartender: Can't complain. What can i get you?
Sonny: Yeah, can you get --uh, scotch on the rocks? Good stuff?
Man: Nice threads.
Sonny: Thank you.
Man: You were always a flashy dresser, sonny. You don't have a clue, do you?
Sonny: Paulie rinaldi. Oh, my goodness.
Paulie: You remember me.
Sonny: How you doing? How can i forget? We spent more time in detention than in class. How -- how are you?
Paulie: Not as good as you, if that suit's any indication.
Sonny: Well.
Paulie: Maybe i shouldn't have quit working with joe scully after all. You had the good sense to stick it out.
Sonny: Well, i'm not sure that was good sense.
Paulie: You were always more ambitious than me, sonny. Not that i'm doing badly.
Paulie: I took over my father's body shop when the old man retired.
Sonny: You doing anything on the side?
Paulie: Any chop shop stuff?
Sonny: Well, i don't know.
Paulie: I don't know -- nah, i had offers. I promised mary-therese, you know, that i'd go straight.
Sonny: Mary-therese? Really?
Paulie: Coming up on our 25th anniversary. You know what that makes me?
Sonny: Lucky.
Paulie: Old. Nah, man. And lucky, and lucky. I got three kids. Paulie, jr. Works with me. Frannie's in college.
Paulie: And my youngest boy is the starting quarterback at st. Ignatius.
Sonny: Wow.
Paulie: You got kids?
Sonny: Yeah. I got two boys. I got a girl. Younger than yours. Can i tell you something? I never thought i would run into anybody from the past.
Paulie: Nah. You know, you haven't been gone that long. Although some of those guys we came up with, you know those goombahs, those low-level mobsters? They didn't make it. That's why i'm -- you know, i'm glad i got out.
Sonny: It looks like you had the good sense.
Paulie: Well, i had no choice. Mary-therese would have killed me.
[Laughs]
sonny: Let me tell you something. Sometimes when you find the right woman at the right time, it changes your life.
Kate's voice: I was supposed to be in the city today. I had tickets to a real broadway play. I know it's like the 85th incarnation of "a chorus line," but it's my first time. I mean, a story of how people come from nothing and realize their dreams. It's perfect. But it was also known as birthday so i did what a good girl does and showed up at uncle nicky's for her party. Everyone was there. Except olivia, who ditched as usual.
kate: Hold on. Hold on. I'll be right there. Coming.
[Clears throat]
mike: Hey.
Kate: Mike. You didn't have to come all the way here.
Mike: Well, you know, i'm so happy that the wedding is back on because that gives me an excuse to come see my future daughter-in-law.
Kate: Aw.
Mike: So, what do you need?
Kate: Uh -- ok. It's a little awkward, mike. I don't want to offend you, ok. But giselle is my maid of honor. You know, giselle, the editor of "couture."
Mike: Honey, if she doesn't edit a racing form, i probably haven't read it, ok.
Kate: All right. Well, see, here's the thing. She's coming in from paris, and wedding etiquette dictates that the maid of honor sits next to the best man. Honestly, mike, you'd be bored to tears. She would have so much more to talk to with jax about, and i -- i don't want to offend you.
Mike: Honey, i don't care if giselle doesn't, but i've heard enough to know that she is your rival, not your friend. Isn't there someone else you'd rather have as maid of honor?
Kate: You may have not of heard, but i don't have very many female friends. It's times like this that i realize it's kind of sad. But i have no regrets because i am marrying the man that i love. And sonny is the only person i need to see at the altar. And you. I need to see you, too.
Mike: Truth. I expect to be bumped as best man.
Kate: Mike, why on earth would you say that?
Mike: Because if sonny had his way, he'd patch things up with jason because jason is the one who should be best man.
Jason: Sit down.
Spinelli: I sense you are displeased.
Spinelli: You know, the jackal fears he's over-exerted himself. Perhaps a return to casa de stone cold and a nap --
jason: I'm telling you that you need to stop.
Spinelli: You're -- you know, you're right. Obviously, you can see the pain that i'm experiencing. Amazingly --
jason: Did you out private information about me online?
Spinelli: Not really. Your true identity was scrupulously protected.
Jason: Did maxie put you up to this?
Spinelli: It was initially the insightful maximista's suggestion, but i came to see the wisdom in her plan.
Jason: I told you not to do it.
Spinelli: With all due admiration and respect, it's time for stone cold to realize how much he misses the maternal one.
Jason: Ok. What does any of this have to do with elizabeth?
Spinelli: It was the jackal's hope that failure to find a romantic connection via the wonders of cyber dating would convince stone cold that the maternal one is his true match.
Lulu: It would be selfish to keep you all to myself longer than i already have.
Laura: But you needed me. You were going through such a horrible time, and i will always be grateful that i was here to help you.
Lulu: You are the reason i am not in one of the padded rooms here.
Laura: I'm very proud of you, lulu. The way you came through all of this.
Lulu: I'm doing better now, and i don't need you undivided attention. I know how much it will mean to lucky and nikolas to see you awake and be able to talk to you. I want them to share in our happiness. We're a family.
Laura: All right then, let's call the boys. I think you're right. I think it is time for us all to be together again.
Carly: I always wondered if you played sports, max.
Max: I used to.
Carly: Let me guess, football.
Max: Football's for sissies. I'm a rugby man.
Carly: I don't know anything about rugby.
Max: Yeah, nobody does.
Carly: Can you pass the salt?
Max: Mm. Ah, diane's a big baseball fan. She knows more about team stats than any woman i've ever met.
Carly: Diane's very smart.
Max: And pretty. Uh, well, so are you, of course.
Carly: Why don't you tell me what happened between you and diane?
Max: I swear, i don't know. We had a little disagreement. She accused me of cheating on her, and then she says we're finished.
Carly: Did you cheat on her?
Max: No. Besides, we never agreed to be exclusive.
Carly: Mm.
Max: But somehow, once i was with diane, i didn't want to see anyone else. Uh -- present company excluded, of course.
Carly: I know that i hold a very special place in your heart, but anyone with eyes could see how important diane is to you.
Max: I never expected to fall for ms. Miller. I can't believe she dumped me.
Carly: Well, according to spinelli's online dating service, high strung women should be paired with very rational, grounded men. So you and diane are a perfect match. That's why jax and i were so wonderful together.
Max: Huh. I always thought ms. Miller was very grounded. What am i going to do, mrs. C?
Carly: First of all, stop calling me mrs. C. My name's carly. I haven't been mrs. C in a long time. I don't know what name i'm going to use now.
Max: This is terrible. Here i am talking about myself, and you've got your own problems.
Carly: One thing is very clear. This date was a waste of time.
Max: No, i'm -- i'm enjoying myself here.
Carly: No, you're not. You're miserable. We both are. And as you're friend -- and i am your friend -- i'm gonna give you some advice. Follow your heart. You know what you have to do.
Diane: As my friend claire used to say, "all men is dogs." Alexis: Nope, just the ones we pick. I just don't know what to think about this. You don't think there's any -- not even the littlest possibility that jerry's being honest?
Diane: Are you seriously going to use jerry and honest in the same sentence?
Alexis: No, no. I'd just really like to believe that there may be a little different side to him.
Diane: Yes, well, i wanted to believe the same thing about max, and now i know better. But i digress -- ok, so you're daughter is making sexual overtures to your boyfriend. Do you consider jerry to be your boyfriend?
Alexis: No -- no. I -- you know what concerns me here, is sam. I just want to make sure she's not still angry at me for giving her up for adoption.
Diane: So what if she is? Her actions towards jerry are still woefully inappropriate. Unless, of course, it is jerry who's lying.
Alexis: Jerry lies about everything, but he just doesn't have any reason to lie about this.
Diane: Men by their nature lie. And cheat with younger, hotter women.
Alexis: Is this supposed to be helping?
Diane: It's a blow to the ego, yes. But once you admit it, you can move on, avoid any emotional entanglements, and use the man of your choice as the good lord sees fit. Then kick him out of bed before breakfast.
Alexis: I can see this attitude is working wonders for you. You don't miss max at all, do you?
Diane: I refuse to get tied up in knots over any man.
Alexis: Too late.
Diane: Look, a casual affair can be stimulating, but do not kid yourself that it is real or lasting.
Alexis: So when did max break up with you?
Diane: I broke up with him. I allowed myself to get carried away with a little fling, and now i have moved on and i've cut my losses. And you need to get up and open another bottle of my very fine wine.
Alexis: Oh...
Jerry: I was surprised when you called me.
Sam: I'm sure that you can probably guess why i asked you to come over here.
Jerry: Because i'm irresistible?
Sam: No, i mean, yeah, but it was actually quite a story that you told alexis how i came on to you.
Jerry: Oh, was there an angry confrontation between mother and daughter?
Sam: No, there wasn't, actually. She was hurt and really disappointed. And if your agenda was to let her think that i am an irredeemable slut, then i guess congratulations are in order.
Jerry: Well there's an easy way out. You could tell alexis the truth. You could tell her i pursued you, then cut me out of your life. Problem solved.
Sam: Well, what if i don't want to do that?
Anna: How is patrick handling this?
Robin: I don't know. Just when he made peace with his dad, then this comes up.
Anna: Hmm. I don't want to judge noah or anything, but he's done some stupid things in his life. I think that he's a good man now underneath it all.
Robin: Well, patrick thinks that this is why i don't want to marry him, because he's going to turn into another version of his father.
Anna: Is that what's stopping you?
Noah: Ok, do you want to talk about this?
Patrick: There's nothing to talk about. It's none of my business.
Noah: Patrick, i understand you're angry, i'd rather face that --
patrick: Wait, you understand? You know what? I understand that every night that you were supposedly out saving lives, you were really just banging nurses and making kids that you didn't want.
Noah: I loved your mother, and i love you.
Patrick: Well, you have a funny way of showing it.
Noah: Look, i can't change the past. I'm not proud of what i did. When you're over the shock, we have to talk about this.
Patrick: You want absolution, go to church! Or you know what? Dive into another bottle. But matt did it fine without you, and i'm sure i can, too. Robin: Hello.
Matt: Looks like news of my family reunion has spread, not that it's any of your business.
Robin: Maybe not. But you are my little girl's uncle -- the only one she has. Unless there's something you're not telling me.
Anna: What? Oh, well, i can't vouch for your father, but you're my only living child.
Robin: See? You're not the only one with a crazy family.
Matt: Look, i'm not interested in sunday dinners with the clan, ok? I don't do warm and fuzzy.
Robin: Ok, well, we're not talking about adopting a kitten here. All i'm saying is that you're blood. And on a certain level, that matters, so do you need anything?
Matt: I need a break. Really, dr. Scorpio, you've never had a use for me before, so please don't start now.
Patrick: Hey, treat robin with respect.
Matt: Or what?
Robin: It's fine.
Patrick: No, it's not ok. What do you want from us, dr. Hunter?
Matt: Nothing. Absolutely nothing. That's what none of you people seem to get. If i wanted to come here and meet my -- noah drake or any of you, i would've just walked up and introduced myself.
Spinelli: It was also hard to miss the unhappy mien on the maternal one as she departed casa del stone cold, and you've been even more silent than usual on the subject.
Jason: When you told elizabeth that i was having an affair with karpov's attorney --
Spinelli: Oh, god, i apologize for --
jason: Ok, she -- she wants me to be with her, ok? Elizabeth wants me to meet her in secret. She's willing to lie to be with me. I tell her that there's too much at risk, and she's willing to take that chance.
Spinelli: Isn't that her choice to make?
Jason: And what if something bad happens? It always does.
Spinelli: Yeah, but with all due respect --
jason: Look, just stop talking about me and elizabeth. Stop coming up with reasons that we should be together. I know we should be together, but we can't be.
Sonny: To yankee stadium, to the people who decided to tear it down -- may you rot in hell. Why do you think they'd do that?
Paulie: Ah, the almighty dollar?
Sonny: Yeah, well.
Paulie: Hey, i've seen the quest for it destroy plenty of decent people. Hey, no offense.
Sonny: No, i promise you one thing, i won't be spending my money on a skybox.
Mary-therese: Hey.
Paulie: Hey. Sweetheart, do you know this guy
[Mary-therese chuckles]
mary-therese: Oh, the dimples are a dead giveaway. Sonny corinthos. Oh, my God.
Sonny: Your husband said that you were still gorgeous. And i got to say, he's absolutely right.
Mary-therese: Yeah, well, he's the smartest guy i know. I hate to break up this party, but our son has a game tonight at st. Ignatius. Hey, why don't you come?
Sonny: Oh, i wish i could. I, uh --
mary-therese: So what are you doing in bensonhurst, sonny?
Singer: Please let me love you like i once loved you
[diane sighs]
singer: Why can't we start again
[diane scoffs]
singer: Life would be rosy
diane: Whoa.
Singer: Comfy and cozy back in your heart again oh how i've missed you if i could just kiss you now like i kissed you then there's no pretending our love's never ending why can't we start again
Nikolas: What's the emergency? Why'd you have to see us right now?
Lulu: Relax, it's nothing bad. It's actually fantastic.
Nikolas: Something you shared with your doctor, or --
lulu: No, it has nothing to do with me. Well, i mean, it does have to do with -- i'm so happy you guys are going to be so happy, too. Mom asked me to call you.
Nikolas: What do you mean she asked you?
Lulu: Mom has been awake since i've been at shadybrook. Please, don't -- don't be upset. She asked me not to. She just -- she didn't want to get your hopes up in case she relapsed.
Lucky: I don't believe it.
Lulu: Of course you don't. Come in, just -- come in.
Lulu: Mom. It's ok, this happens. It takes -- it takes a minute sometimes. Mom -- hey, mom, lucky and nikolas are here just like you asked me to bring them. Mom.
Lucky: Lulu, why don't we go back to your room.
Lulu: No, no no. Mom, wake up. Mom. Mom.
Sam: There are two reasons to tell alexis that i came on to you. Either you want to end whatever this is before it even starts, or you are daring me to go through with this regardless.
Jerry: Well, i'm here, which means that theory number two is correct.
Sam: Yeah, but here's what you need to know. I will not sleep with you as long as you're with alexis.
Jerry: Oh. That leaves me with a very difficult decision.
Sam: What? I mean, if alexis is out of the picture, then we have something to discuss.
Jerry: Let's say i take that step, sweet sam. Do you promise to make it worth my while?
Spinelli: Since stone cold is adamant about there being no future between himself and fair elizabeth, perhaps he might seriously consider a relationship with someone who might be better able to handle his unique profession. So therefore, online dating might be viable --
jason: Online -- i don't want anything online. I love elizabeth. We have a child together. I don't -- i don't want to be with anybody else.
Spinelli: Well, if stone cold can't move on, that's tantamount to an offer of false hope. I mean, that mindset prevents fair elizabeth from moving on as well.
Jason: Just stop, and go home.
Spinelli: I didn't mean any --
jason: I know, i know, just go.
jason: Spinelli, just go home. We'll talk --
kate: Oh, i'm sorry, is this a bad time?
Jason: What do you need?
Kate: Well, i was going over the guest list and i realized that there was a glaring omission. Now, i know that you're ambivalent about me and sonny getting married, but nevertheless, i was really hoping you would attend.
Jason: I can't.
Woman: You looking for someone? Maybe it's me.
Sep 22, 2008 11:25
Sonny: Ok, give the lady whatever she wants.
Woman: I'll have a beer and a shot. Well, well, well, if this isn't one for the books. The bad boy returns.
Sonny: It's been a long time, Olivia.
Kate: Look, Jason, even the best of friends don't always march in step. It's no secret how carly feels about my marrying Sonny. So I assume it would be the height of disloyalty for you to attend --
Jason: Carly has nothing to do with my decision.
Kate: Ok, so I take it that you have reasons of your own that you're opposed to this marriage.
Jason: If sonny wants me at the wedding, he'll ask me.
Sam: I should call your bluff.
Jerry: What makes you think I'm bluffing?
Sam: Well, I don't know. I have absolutely nothing to lose, but you -- you've got a good thing going.
Jerry: Yes, I do.
Sam: You are not going to risk your relationship with alexis. This -- this is just a game for you. You want to see how far I'm going to go.
Jerry: Well, let's say for the sake of argument, that I don't care about anything else at the moment, that... I find you the most enticing woman that I've ever laid my eyes on. How far are you willing to go?
Lulu: Come here. Mom, I brought Lucky and Nikolas here. They're here, just like you asked me to. Mom, please, wake up. Please --
Nikolas: Lulu, come on, stop.
Olivia: Now, when gloria cerullo called me to set this thing up, I've got to say, my first impulse was to say no.
Sonny: Well, your -- your first impulses were always bad. That's -- that's kind of what i like about you.
[Olivia chuckles]
Olivia: We dated for, what, five minutes in high school? So what is this? Is this revisiting your glory days? What?
Sonny: I'm marrying your cousin.
Olivia: You're marrying Kate Howard. I don't have a cousin Connie anymore.
Sonny: But you knew about the wedding.
Olivia: Yeah, I saw some stuff in the tabloids, even a picture of connie -- sorry, kate -- on her knees in the back of a car with some hotshot businessman.
Sonny: That was -- that was misleading.
Olivia: You think?
[Olivia laughs]
Olivia: A leopard doesn't change its spots, and connie was always a prude. She's the last person to be doing some guy in the back of a limo. That's more my style.
Kate: So you're refusing to tend your best friend's wedding.
Jason: I'm not against the wedding.
Kate: But you'll only wish sonny well if he asks you himself, and what? Thanks you for taking over? Forgives you for siding with carly to take away his children?
Jason: Kate... there is a lot of tension... between me and sonny. And I wouldn't want to show up to his wedding unless he knew about it.
Kate: Jason, I came here -- i came here on my own. I was willing to make peace, to ask you myself personally, because I know how much sonny cares for you. He considers you family. It's important to have your family around you on your most important day. But, ok, I guess your first instinct was correct. Maybe you shouldn't be at the wedding at all.
[Door closes]
Noah: Charles fox is one of the top burn surgeons in the country. I've already put in a call.
Matt: Do you see how this -- this concern, this going the extra mile might just come off to be a tad bit insincere?
Noah: You know what? It's time to move on, all right? What's past is past. I'm trying to get you the best help here.
Matt: You paid off my mother to raise me, ok? Out of sight, out of mind. You don't get to have a sudden attack of remorse to just make amends.
Noah: I'm your father.
Anna: Maybe now's not the time to --
Noah: Imperfect, messed up, but I'm still --
Matt: You are a stranger, ok? I don't know you. This was your idea, ok? I just happen to be ok with it.
Noah: I don't think that's true.
Patrick: You know, let me just make this a little more clear. You're not wanted here.
Robin: Patrick --
Patrick: No, you -- you had a son and all you saw was an obstacle with your career path. So you discarded him like a bad grade on your transcript. You had a choice and you made the choice to leave him behind.
Matt: Look, really, I -- i don't need the help. I don't know you, you are nothing to me, so just stay the hell out of it, all right?
Jerry: The flow of blood may be leaving my brain, but it didn't evaporate my common sense.
Sam: You are too into my mother to risk losing her. Oh, well. This could have been fun.
Jerry: The fun is only beginning. But we're not going to continue here, where your mother could walk in any minute. We're going to move this party to a room at the cosmopolitan where we're more comfortable and have total privacy.
Sam: You assume a lot.
Jerry: Well, after all this talk about how boring your boyfriend the cop is and how much you've been coming on to me, if you shut me down now, I'll just have to assume that this was all a setup.
Lucky: Lulu, come on.
Lulu: She was getting better. She told me.
Nikolas: Did you -- you've actually spoken to her?
Lulu: Yes, yes. She has been up. She's been walking around. She was helping me deal with what happened to logan. She is recovering, ok? So she gets tired and she drifts. This has happened. I walked in on her like this and then she wakes up. This is why she didn't want me to tell you guys. She didn't want a repeat of last time where you would get your hopes up and then she would relapse.
Lainey: Oh, I didn't see you signed in on the visitors log.
Nikolas: Lulu says that there was a change in our mother's condition.
Lulu: She's been getting better.
Lainey: Better?
Lulu: Yes, walking around and talking to me.
Lucky: Were you aware of this?
Lainey: I had no idea.
Lulu: Stop it. Don't look at me like that. I did not imagine this. Check her records. She was awake. She was.
Lulu: I came in to -- to just sit with her, you know? And -- and I was having a hard time and I started crying. My head was in her lap and -- and she talked to me. I looked up. I couldn't believe it. She was awake. This is -- this is a side effect of the medication. It happens to some of the patients who've been on it.
Lucky: Did -- did mom tell you this?
Lulu: No, her doctor -- her doctor did. He came in and saw her this morning.
Nikolas: What was his name?
Lulu: Dr. Mcginnis. He's been working with the clinic in france that's doing the drug.
Nikolas: Ok, why didn't this doctor call us the moment she woke up?
Lulu: Because he's not allowed to.
Lucky: Ok, how can he possibly justify not notifying her family?
Lulu: Because mom signed a form. Look, she didn't want us to go through the hell again of losing her in case she was going to relapse. And some of the other patients who have been on this have only been awake for a short period of time, so she had every reason to be worried. But mom said that she was feeling stronger. She wants to see you guys, ok? She's going to wake up. Mom, don't do this. Just wake up. Look, lucky and nikolas are here. You wanted them here. Wake up.
Jerry: Do you admit that this whole thing is a scam or are we getting a room at the cosmopolitan?
Sam: Are you serious? As if we wouldn't run the risk of being seen there.
Jerry: I guess I have my answer.
Sam: Stop this! I am the one who's actually being scammed here. You -- you still have actual emotional feelings for my mother and it freaks you out. If she ever found out about it, she would never talk to you. She never forgive you and you would be free of any scary emotional entanglements. Well, guess what. I am not going to let you use me as the coward's way out.
Jerry: And what if I didn't care if alexis found out?
Sam: I care.
Jerry: Then you know that she would be hurt if I dumped her for you.
Sam: Then don'T. End this before it starts. It's your call. I'm available if you end things with my mom. And in the meantime, there will be no meeting at the cosmopolitan... or anywhere else.
Jerry: I have to consider my options.
Jason: Yeah, well, according to our inside guy, the coast guard is changing their patrol schedule, ok? So I need to move up shipments by one day. So move them up one day. You got it?
[Door opens]
Carly: Hi. Sorry. I needed to see you.
Jason: Sure, about what?
Carly: The truth -- I just need a place to hide out so I don't have to go home.
Jason: Well, what happened?
Carly: Nothing new, no major disaster, no life-changing bad choices in the past 12 hours. Just a lame attempt at online dating.
Jason: Yeah, by the way, I'm not your perfect match.
Carly: Jax is. That's kind of why I don't want to go home. You know, he's gone. He's not coming back. I don't want to walk in the living room and think about old times with Michael and Morgan and Jax. Michael and jax aren't coming home and that's going to make me really sad. And then you know what I'm going to do. I'm going to get into that thinking thing that I do and I'm going to tell myself that what I have with Jax isn't lost and then I'm going to go to him and I'm going to try and convince him, you know, that -- that what happened between me and sonny was wrong and that we really are over this time. And I'm going to try and get him to come back to me. What do you think? Do you think Jax is going to come back to me?
Olivia: So what made you track down Connie after all this time?
Sonny: It wasn't planned. Connie -- I mean, Kate -- the name kind of took a little while to get used to.
Olivia: I'm thinking of changing my name to -- to -- to Gwyneth. Gwyneth Falconeri. What do you think?
Sonny: Anyway, Kate went to port charles looking to buy some property, and her car broke down, so she came into my office and she asked to use the phone.
Olivia: She asked?
Sonny: Well, you know, in that cute way she has.
Olivia: Ha. Let me guess. She started stamping her feet and ordering people around. All of a sudden, you recognized her.
Sonny: In a few minutes, kind of --
Olivia: And now you guys are getting married. Who says dreams don't come true?
Sonny: We've had our ups and downs, you know. We've made some adjustments, and we're at a point where we want to spend the rest of our lives together.
Olivia: Well, I wouldn't go buying those his and hers rocking chairs just yet.
Sonny: What does that mean? You know something I don't?
Olivia: Well, Connie dumped her entire past in the dustbin when she got a scholarship to Princeton. She didn't just change her name. She created a whole new wasp pedigree to go with it. Editing a fashion magazine, being some big time socialite, that was connie's dream. Why is she going to give that up to marry a gangster? Kate's voice: Walked home with Olivia today, and Sonny was waiting for us. He and Olivia were flirting like crazy. And when they started to kiss, I walked off. Olivia started to make fun of me, but this is weird. Sonny told her to stop. He seemed kind of sweet when he told me I looked nice.
[Kate clears throat]
Kate: It's customary to knock, Maxie.
Maxie: Kate, you told me to drop this off. You said you --
Kate: Well, I obviously had a change of plans.
Maxie: Oh, what a cute picture. Is this you?
Sonny: Actually, I'm retired.
Olivia: I didn't think that was an option in your line of work.
Sonny: Well, not for me. I -- I -- I signed over my business to a former associate and, you know, I am completely legit.
Olivia: Strip joints?
Sonny: No, that was a long time ago. Coffee importer.
Olivia: Oh.
Sonny: Yeah, yeah.
Olivia: Well, won't you just make the greatest fashion accessory. "This is my husband, sonny, the coffee importer."
Olivia: Well, I guess you must still be rich or connie would have never agreed to marry you.
Sonny: Money has nothing to do with love. Yeah, I do all right. I mean, connie doesn't need my money.
Olivia: So they say.
Sonny: Look, I know that it was very rough when she decided to leave and you -- your family was very close. But it's very difficult for her. She does -- she doesn't even talk about it.
Olivia: You know what? You're making this sound like -- like connie got on a boat to another country or something, like she was an immigrant from palermo in 1902 and -- and she had all her belongings wrapped in a shawl, and if the family never heard from her again, it was because she was an ocean away or she died of rickets or something. No, Connie didn't have the guts to conquer the world as Constanza Louise Falconeri. Ok, she made a choice to hide behind a fake name and a fake past, just like she chose to cut ties with this family. We haven't heard from her in years. As far as she's concerned, we don't exist.
Sonny: Olivia... you are absolutely wrong.
Kate: Yes, that's me in boarding school in vermont.
Maxie: Who's the girl standing next to you?
Kate: Um, I don't remember. Mallory? Millicent? I don't know. So, do you have the finalized guest list for the wedding?
Maxie: Yes, it's going to be a lot smaller than you planned. But everyone local confirmed. And I noticed there were no howards on the guest list. Are you going to invite any of your family to the wedding?
Kate: My parents are dead, Maxie. They were only children. I'm an only child. I have no extended family.
Maxie: That kind of explains it.
Kate: Explains what?
Maxie: Why you took Sonny back after he cheated on you with Carly. He's like the only family you have.
Kate: Oh, ok, that comment was a little inappropriate and rather judgemental, Maxie.
Maxie: Sorry.
Kate: Look, Sonny and I have come to an understanding. I don't want to hear anything more about that unfortunate incident with Carly. That woman is out of Sonny's life and out of Jax's life.
Jason: Well, I've seen what you can do when you put your mind to something.
Carly: That's your polite way of saying I'll probably lie and scheme to get what I want.
Jason: Probably not the best strategy to get Jax back. It would defeat the purpose.
Carly: That's all I got left, to lie and scheme. I don't have anything else. Jason, there's nothing I can say or promise him. I -- I hurt him, and not just by sleeping with Sonny, but by not telling him about everything when I thought I was pregnant. I mean --
[Carly laughs]
Carly: Man, I trashed his trust. I just --
Jason: I'm sorry about that, Carly.
Carly: Not half as sorry as i am. I think I'm hurting. I broke Jax's heart. I did that to the man I love. He's never going to trust anybody again.
[Jason sighs]
Jason: I mean, what can you say? You know, you messed up. You're sorry. You just got to keep going. It seems like you learned something.
Carly: How about that? And it only took me losing the best thing that's ever happened to me.
Jason: Carly, what are you -- what are you -- what are you going to do? Where are you going?
Carly: I'm --
Jason: What are you going to do?
Carly: I'm going to go to the hotel and I'm going to do my job and I'm going to contemplate all these life lessons I've just learned. I'm fine.
Sep 22, 2008 11:27
Robin: Well, when you run out of charts to throw around, we can move to the supply closet.
Patrick: You know what? I tried to defend the guy and you heard him.
Robin: The guy, meaning your brother?
Patrick: If anyone knows what he's going through, it's me.
Robin: Maybe you don't.
Patrick: No, living up to Noah Drake, the man, the myth, the legend, the great disappearing father?
Robin: Ok, that's not what I meant. You were projecting your own experience onto your brother, your half-brother, whatever.
Patrick: Robin, what am I supposed to do?
Robin: I don't know. Go have a beer with the guy. Go to a game. Try to bond with him on that level and then work your way up to the big stuff. And don't be surprised if it doesn't happen overnight.
Patrick: You know, honestly, that's not even why I'm upset. Once again, I'm reminded who my role model is. And I don't want to make the same mistakes as he did.
Robin: Parenting isn't a gene. It's not something you inherit. You're going to make a great father.
Patrick: Are you sure about that?
Lulu: Mom -- mom, please, wake up. I think I felt her hand move. I think -- I think -- I think she's coming back.
[Footsteps]
Nikolas: What did you find out?
Lainey: I'd like to speak to you out in the hall.
Lulu: No, this affects our mother. She is going to hear this. And then when we're done, you need to call the doctors at the institute in france and tell them that she's relapsing.
Lainey: Lulu, I pulled laura's file. Her status is unchanged.
Lulu: It's only been a short while, but she was getting so much better.
Lainey: She wasn't.
Lulu: I talked -- I talked to her. I talked to her doctor.
Nikolas: Lulu, it's --
Lulu: No, this happened! It's real.
Lainey: There's no Dr. Mcginnis on staff here at shadybrook, and there's no indication that laura has responded since her relapse in November of 2006.
Lulu: No. No, no, no!
We had a health concern.
Turned out to be nothing...
Matt: Oh, really, whatever you have to say, I don't want to hear it.
Robin: Well, you're stuck in that bed, so I guess you're going to have to listen to me.
Matt: Well, is it going to be something like, you know, "Patrick is a great guy" or something to that effect? Look, I know you have to believe that because you have his kid inside of you, but really, I've seen enough to know -- you know, know better.
Robin: Really? Well, how was he supposed to react when since the very beginning all you've been doing is picking fights with him, challenging him, goading him?
Matt: Was I supposed to just bow down?
Robin: You acted like a jerk, and he thought you were one. He just didn't know that there was a pretty good reason for it.
Matt: Just because we share a couple strands of dna doesn't give him the right to have an opinion.
Robin: You certainly have an opinion of him. You've already pegged him as the chosen child just because he got to have a relationship with your father, as if you missed out on some awesome father-son experience. But I'll tell you the truth. After Patrick's mother died, Noah became a drunk, until he disappeared from his life completely.
Matt: And somehow they just managed to get past that?
Robin: It was very difficult for patrick to forgive his father, and it took a lot for him to let him back into his life, and when patrick found out what noah had done to you, he stuck up for you, the one who he shares a few strands of dna with, but you know what? You're probably right. You have it all figured out, so I'll just stay out of it.
Noah: Well, now you know the truth about me. Pretty disgusting, isn't it?
Anna: Yeah, it's sad, a bit disheartening. The only thing that can make it worse at this point is if you went somewhere and had a drink.
Noah: Wow, well, I was just thinking about that. The smell, the burn in the back of the throat, the bang as the endorphin bell is rung.
Anna: Yeah, so then you're just trashed the rest of your life in the process. I mean, you can't undo what you did to Patrick and his mom or Matt and his mom. I believe that you can do a hell of a lot better in the future.
Noah: Well, your faith in me is astonishing under the circumstances. Should make me want to pull myself up by my bootstraps and go to an aa meeting instead of the bar.
Lainey: Lulu, when there's something difficult for us to face, sometimes the mind will create a coping mechanism, a way for us to deal with it.
Lulu: Can you please just test my mom to be sure?
Nikolas: We'd appreciate it. Thank you.
Lainey: I'll arrange for the tests, not because I think there will be any change in her condition but because I want us all to be on the same page so we can move forward together, ok? Nikolas and
Lucky: Thank you.
Lulu: Oh, my God.
Nikolas: Ok.
Lucky: You heard what Dr. Winters said.
Lulu: It was all in my head.
Nikolas: It's just a way for you to cope with things, lulu, a way to survive. You don't have to beat yourself up.
Lulu: No, don't -- you don't want me to lose my mind over it. Too late. I have been having conversations with our catatonic mother and the doctor -- oh, my god, then talking about the clinic in france and how her recovery --
Nikolas: It's ok.
Lulu: Oh, my god.
Nikolas: You're going to get better.
Lucky: Right, we're all going to help you.
Lulu: None of it was real. None of it was real. I was so happy. It was like a miracle.
Maxie: Women all over the world want to be kate howard, have kate howard's fabulous life. I'm talking to her, and it hits me. None of her family is going to her wedding. Isn't that sad?
Spinelli: I'm sure any lack that she feels will be more than compensated by the joy of wedding Mr. Sir.
Maxie: You don't understand. Even vain, self-centered fashion goddesses like Kate and myself need to feel connected to someone, besides the someone that we're sleeping with.
Spinelli: Well, her staff will be in attendance -- you know, the savvy if not entirely trustworthy Clarice and the radiant Maximista.
[Phone rings]
Maxie: And poor lulu. Even though lulu doesn't have my dedication to the job, they really should let her out of that looney bin, just for the day. After all, she's not only Kate's second assistant, but she's Sonny's friend, or her dad is, anyway. Oh, well, I guess we'll just have to take pictures so she knows what it's like.
Spinelli: We?
Maxie: You're going to be my date, aren't you? What about you? Who are you taking to Sonny and Kate's wedding?
Sonny: I had the same reaction at first, that connie cut her ties from the past because she was ashamed, but it wasn't -- it wasn't like that. She just saw how the game needed to be played.
Olivia: She bailed. It's ancient history. I don't think about those days anymore.
Sonny: No?
Olivia: No.
Sonny: How about your brother Vito when he snuck into the confessional, and you told him all your sins with the guy you liked?
Olivia: He told the entire neighborhood about that.
Sonny: Yeah, you're a legend.
Olivia: So Vito is going to spend an extra eternity in purgatory for that one, so just --
Sonny: So you -- you never think about the old days, right?
Olivia: All right, I was pissed at connie, ok? She was always the star of the family. Then all of a sudden she decides she's too good for any of us.
Sonny: No, she thought that because of her -- she wouldn't achieve her dreams. She felt that, you know, being kate howard would get her places that Connie Falconeri wouldn't. She -- you know, it wouldn't have mattered, because she has that ambition. She would have made it, but we've all made mistakes. I made some. I know you've made some.
Olivia: Yeah, I did just about every crazy, stupid thing there was to do, including dating you.
Olivia: By the way, making a career out of the mob is no genius move either.
Sonny: Well, your family never thought I was good enough for Connie, so --
Olivia: Well, you were pretty wild, when you started running with Joe Scully. Yeah, believe me, there was more than a few hail marys said for divine intervention to keep connie away from you.
Sonny: It worked.
Olivia: Yeah, she ditched you, became Katherine Hardwicke Howard. Now after all these years, you know, pick you up like something she found on the bottom of her designer shoe, decides you're good enough to marry after all.
Marty: A piece of heaven on earth.
Carly: It's a spa, Marty.
Marty: Well, when they finish the renovations, you are going to want to live there.
Carly: Did Jax want to discuss any of the changes I made on the design?
Marty: I haven't heard from him.
Carly: Thanks.
Kate: Carly.
Carly: Any questions about your lease will be directed towards marty.
Kate: Marty can't relay this particular message. So, you had sex with sonny in the back of a limo, hmm? You used his grief to manipulate him, to seduce him.
Carly: If that's what you want to tell yourself.
Kate: You used Michael as an excuse, as a free pass to do whatever the hell you want. Well, that's all over. Sonny and I are in love, and we're getting married.
Carly: I'll alert the media.
Kate: I don't trust you, especially now that you've trashed your own marriage. You have nothing left to lose, so stay the hell away from my husband.
Carly: He's not your husband yet.
This sunday through saturday
Sam: Hey. Lucky, why would you come through the front door?
Lucky: I'm sorry. I just wasn't thinking. I just -- I just needed somebody to talk to.
Sam: What happened?
Lucky: Lulu called me. She sounded so happy, I mean happier than she's ever been in months. She said that I just needed to come down to Shadybrook and that Nikolas was coming, too. I just was hoping that she had some kind of breakthrough. Instead, she said that our mother was awake. And for an instant, I just -- I wanted to believe.
Sam: Oh, Lucky.
Lucky: Yeah, my mom -- she was just... nothing had changed. She was just the same, you know. She wouldn't respond. It's like Lulu was hallucinating.
Lulu: You don't have to stay. I'm sure you have better things to do than babysit your crazy sister.
Nikolas: Oh, stop it. You're not crazy.
Lulu: I went from seeing visions of Logan to talking to mom.
Nikolas: I know, but I think you saw Logan out of guilt. As for mom, you heard what Lainey said. You mind was just trying to -- to cope with everything. Come on, I should know how this works. My life was occupied by an illusion of Emily, remember?
Lulu: You had a brain tumor. What happened to me -- what's going on is not normal.
Nikolas: So what? So what? I'm glad you got to see mom and take strength from her, even if it was in your mind. She helped you, didn't she? Yeah?
Lulu: Yeah, she did.
Nikolas: She did, and that's exactly what she'd want to do for you. Maybe there's a -- I don't know -- another name for what happened. Maybe it's love.
[Lulu scoffs]
Nikolas: Yours for mom, and hers for you.
Kate: Oh, so you admit you're trying to undermine my marriage.
Carly: If things were so great, I wouldn't be able to.
Kate: But you aren't able to, Carly. You see, that's what burns you, the fact that sonny's actually happy with me, so you're just going to keep throwing yourself at him, trying to drag him down to your level.
Carly: First of all, if you ever accuse me of using my grief over Michael to manipulate someone, I will kill you. Second of all, if I need to, I will go to Sonny whenever I want to, and if you have a problem with that, you take it up with him.
Kate: Fine, Carly. Sonny and I have been very honest. We have no more secrets.
Carly: Oh, I'm sure you could come up with a few.
Kate: So what? You're going to start spreading lies about me again?
Carly: I don't have to. No, I don't have to, because eventually, sonny will realize that you're not the little angel he's been waiting for.
Kate: Well, Sonny knows exactly who and what I am, and he loves me, and he's going to marry me.
Carly: Then you, my friend, will get exactly what you deserve.
Kate: Sonny and I share a connection that you will never understand. It runs deeper than you will ever know. I am the woman he's been waiting for.
Sonny: I love Kate. I admire Kate.
Olivia: Yeah, what else is new?
Sonny: She had a goal, and she made sacrifices to reach it. If she had to do it over again, would she do some things differently? Of course she would. Who wouldn't? Connie reinvented herself, because let's face it, there's not a -- there's not a lot of high fashion success stories coming out of, you know, 19th avenue and 86th street. And there's something else. If she had kept one foot in the old neighborhood and a plan b to fall back on, that's pretty much admitting you're not going to make it.
Olivia: You know what, Sonny? There's a lot of ways to make it, ok? And there's a lot that you got to give up to get there. Connie's problem was that she never looked back.
Sonny: Maybe it was. Maybe more than you know. I talked to her. She misses Sal's corny jokes, Nonna's crazy superstitions. She misses who she was and the people who loved her.
Sonny: And I just -- I just want to bring some of that past to the wedding.
Olivia: Well, that is actually kind of sweet. What are you thinking? Like, get pasquale to make some of her favorites, get some real food, or are you thinking like a cake from Aunt Rose or what?
Sonny: I was thinking of you coming to the wedding.
Patrick: So, how'd it go with Dr. Fox?
Matt: Is this where I'm supposed to share my condition with my big brother?
Patrick: Look, Matt, you want to ignore that we're related. I can't do that. I'm not made up that way.
Matt: Sure, you are. So am I. I mean, we're father's sons.
Patrick: My father cheated on his wife, abandoned his illegitimate son, dove into a bottle, and destroyed his medical career. That's -- that's not in my genetic code. I'm not following those footsteps.
Matt: Ok, hooray for you.
Patrick: Look, you're not crazy about me, and I don't necessarily like you, but we're brothers, and I'm not going to walk away from that.
Lucky: Lulu -- she -- she hallucinated entire conversations. She even said that she had a visit from a doctor who said that our mother would get better.
Sam: Lucky, look, at least you and Lulu's real doctor know what you're dealing with and you can actually help her now.
Lucky: It's like she's just falling, and there's nothing i can do to stop it. No one can.
Lucky: She's going to be just like her mother. She's going to be still and silent and lost forever.
Lulu: So, here's the bad news.
Lulu: So, here's the bad news. I -- I'm crazier than I thought. I needed you so badly that i made you up in my head. I guess nikolas is right. You were real to me, and you were here for me when I needed you most. You saved me, mom.
Maxie: Clearly, you're antisocial by choice, but your best friend is getting married. You have to be there.
Spinelli: Not that we would ever think of telling you what to do.
Maxie: He's going. Of course he's going. You can't just not show up and hope they don't notice.
Jason: I told Kate I wasn't going.
Maxie: Kate invited you personally, and you just said no to her face? He can't be that rude.
Spinelli: I think honest is the word we're looking for. He was being honest.
Maxie: Honesty is overrated. If you don't show up to Sonny and Kate's wedding, it'll look like you don't support them getting married. Well, you can't just put a bad vibe on their whole day.
Jason: I'm going to meet with Bernie.
Maxie: No, no, no, you have to go to the wedding, because it shows that you support Sonny and support Kate, and if their marriage gets off to a good start, then maybe Kate's heart won't be broken and "Crimson" won't go down the tubes, and then my fashion career will be saved.
Maxie: Well, you understand, don't you?
Spinelli: In truth, I fail to see the correlation between stone cold's wedding attendance and your future fashion career.
Maxie: Trust me, spinelli. We have to figure out a way to get jason to go to that wedding. Kate's voice: Sonny asked me out again. I said no again. He's always in trouble, and he and olivia are kind of dating, but olivia walked in right then, and sonny said, "you're done with me. Isn't that what you said? You don't care if I go out with your cousin." Olivia told him to knock himself out, which really got under my skin, because it was like she was saying I could have an old pair of tennis shoes. I got mad enough at her to say yes to him, so here it goes. I've got a date with sonny corinthos.
Olivia: Why in the hell would you want me at your wedding?
Sonny: You and Connie were very close, right?
Olivia: Sonny, we haven't seen each other in almost 20 years, and the last time we did, we had a barn-burner of a fight. Connie went storming out of here. She's never come back to Bensonhurst.
Sonny: I think kate stayed away because she -- you know, she feels bad about what she did. I want to make things right for her. I know that you can help me.
Olivia: Why don't you -- why don't you start with someone she actually gets along with, like my brother Vito or maybe someone a little older, a little more forgiving like her aunt on her mother's side?
Sonny: Because the family never approved of the life that i chose. You think they're going to believe when I tell them I've gone legit, and last thing I want to do is -- is bring somebody to the wedding who's going to -- who's going to try to talk Kate out of marrying me. Look, you've always been stand-up with me. You've never judged me. You've been honest with me.
Olivia: I'm a real sport.
Sonny: I mean, forget the flirting and all that, you know, and the fighting, and you know that when I am serious, I am serious. I love Kate, and I want to do this for her.
Olivia: All right, I will come to your and Connie's wedding.
Sonny: Kate. Her name's Kate.
Olivia: Yeah, right. I just hope you know what the hell you're getting into.

Carly: Convention scheduled for late October. Anything i should know about?
Marty: Not so far. Prep has gone smoothly. No unusual requests.
Carly: Great. I love my staff. You guys make my job easy. Wait a minute. I spoke too soon.
Marty: What's the matter?
Carly: Who ok'd the convention guests having the top floors?
Marty: Mr. Jacks.
Carly: That's a terrible idea. We can't give them the best view at group rate. We need to put them on floors four through six.
Jax: Hold off on that, marty.
Carly: Why?
Jax: Because you and i need to discuss it first, that's why.
Marty: Let me know what you decide.
Carly: Why are you so agitated?
Jax: Because you pulled the same trick earlier today on an equally small matter. You can't just go around undoing every decision i make.
Carly: And you can't expect me to stop having an opinion just because i'm not going to be Mrs. Jacks anymore.
Spinelli: Hold still, please.
Jason: For what?
Spinelli: This will only take a second.
Jason: What -- what are you doing?
Spinelli: The tailor needs Stone Cold's measurements for the tuxedo he'll be wearing to Mr. Sir's nuptials.
Jason: You don't have to worry I'm not going.
Olivia: This better be good, Vito. I'm on my lunch hour. But being the good sister that i am, my brother calls, says the magic word "emergency," here I am. So are you going to talk, or are you going to make me guess? I said I got stuff to do.
Vito: Really? Does that stuff have anything to do with Sonny Corinthos?
Kate: Aw, your concept for the shoot sounds fabulous, Helmut. I'm so grateful you could take time out of your busy schedule. There's no one I would rather take my portrait. Are you kidding? I'm honored. Ok. I'll see you soon. Well.
Sonny: Hi.
Kate: Hello.
Sonny: Groom-to-be ready to report for wedding duty, as promised. Just point me in the right direction, and I'll do whatever you want me to do.
Kate: Oh, really? Whatever?
Sonny: Well --
kate: Hmm, ok. Well, first you can start by telling me the truth about why you so mysteriously disappeared last night. I suggest you tell me the truth. Otherwise, there won't be a wedding.
[footsteps approaching]
Maxie: I got to your room just in time. I saw this guy in the hallway, he was staring at the wall, waving his arms around. When I tried to walk by him, he yelled at me. He made me inch my way along the opposite wall and kept going on and on about how people are always walking all over his tarp.
Lulu: Melvin. He paints imaginary murals. He says it makes sense of inner chaos.
Maxie: Oh, well, patients like that must make you feel normal. I brought you a goodie bag.
Lulu: Thank you.
Maxie: Some magazines and some trashy novels. I read this one. I dog-eared some pages for you. A breakdown from Crimson so you'll be up to speed when you come back. And hold on to your bed - I brought you a new dress from Federico's line. I know you don't like fashion, so I got it in my size. I figured you can just hang it to remind you of the exciting world that's waiting to welcome you back. Don't you think I'll look insane in this? Freudian slip, sorry. Lulu, come on, you have company. What's wrong with you? I thought you'd be in a good mood today. You do know Johnny was acquitted, right?
Lulu: Yes, it's the best news ever.
Maxie: Then what's with the face?
Lulu: I'm just having trouble adjusting here. It turns out i'm crazier than I thought.
Jason: What -- stop!
Spinelli: I'm just trying to avoid a catastrophe. The Fashionista will be apoplectic if stone cold shows
up leather-clad to her nuptials because he didn't order the appropriate attire in a timely fashion. Huh, fashion, you know, just a --
Jason: Did you hear what I said to you?
Spinelli: I believe Stone Cold indicated he wouldn't be attending.
Jason: Wow, so you can hear me, which means you're choosing to ignore me. Bad habit. Break it.
Spinelli: I must have inadvertently picked that up from Maximista who regularly ignores the Jackal's sage advice and does exactly as she pleases. It is a rather effective method of getting one's way. In this case, her way.
Jason: Of course, Maxie. I should have guessed. How is she involved?
Spinelli: Well, she's charged the Jackal with the task of getting you to attend the wedding, and I do not wish to fail her.
Jason: And I do not wish to punch you. Find another way to impress your girlfriend. I'm going to work.
Spinelli: Girlfriend.
Sonny: I guess that's the look.
Kate: What look?
Sonny: That got you where you're at today, that gives Giselle nightmares at night.
Kate: Is it working?
Sonny: Um, no, because i think it's cute, sexy.
Kate: Yeah, see, now you're deflecting.
Sonny: No, i'm calling your bluff, because, you know, I know that whether i tell you where I was last night or not, I bet you wouldn't call off the wedding.
Kate: Oh, you think I wouldn't?
Sonny: No, because it's not nice and you know it would devastate me to not be your husband. You are just trying to control me because all your minions got everything covered.
Kate: So now you're calling me a control freak?
Sonny: Uh, takes one to know one.
Kate: Oh, really? Wow. Well, this just gets better and better, doesn't it? Ok, Mr. Smug, it is not about control. It is about caution. You run off with some mysterious errand, and then you come back in all charming with the dimples, trying to dazzle and distract me. All signs point to you being up to no good.
Sonny: It's very good.
Kate: Well, why don't you let me be the judge?
Sonny: Because then it wouldn't be a surprise.
Kate: What kind of surprise?
Sonny: The kind you can't know until it's time. But I will say this -- it is going to be worth the wait.
Olivia: It's not irritating enough you're checking up on me, now you feel entitled to interrogate me, too?
Vito: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Who's checking up? I'm at the coffee shop minding my own business. Who knuckleheads me? Paulie Rinaldi. Says, guess who's back in town? I say, who? He says, Sonny Corinthos. Tells me he was talking to Sonny Corinthos right here at Frankie's bar where I happen to know my sister went last night. Doesn't take a brain surgeon, Olivia.
Olivia: Yeah, lucky for you. So Sonny and I raised a couple last night, so what?
Vito: So how did this miraculous reunion come about?
Olivia: Gloria Cerullo.
Vito: Gloria Cerullo? Bossy grandma Gloria Cerullo?
Olivia: What do you think, I'm lying? Why would I lie?
Vito: Oh, maybe because you have something to hide?
Olivia: Oh, please, Vito. Don't be such a big brother. Mrs. Cerullo called me. She said Sonny talked to her, said he needed to arrange a meeting, what should she tell him? I said, what the hell, why not?
Vito: I'll tell you why the hell not. Because that goomba was trouble when you dated him back in high school and even worse trouble now. Do I got to remind you that Sonny Corinthos is a flippin' mobster?
Olivia: A flippin' retired mobster who happens to be marrying our cousin Connie. That's why Sonny came. He wanted to invite me to the wedding.
Carly: I understand that you're not inclined to believe anything I have to say, but i am not trying to provoke you or get your attention. I'm just doing what I always have done, I'm looking out for the hotel.
Jax: Ok, well, I'm not going to argue with you because it's counter-productive, so just put the conventioneers wherever you want. That's not why I tracked you down.
Carly: Ok.
Jax: We have to discuss the divorce proceedings. Come on, Carly, it's not like it's a surprise or anything.
Carly: No, I, uh -- it's just really hard hearing you say that, "divorce proceedings."
Jax: Yeah.
Carly: Why -- why do we have to rush into court so quickly?
Jax: Well, what's the point in waiting?
Carly: No point, I guess.
Jax: I want this to be as painless as possible for both of us.
Carly: That would be a nice trick if you could pull that off.
Jax: I don't want some, you know, shark representing me, so I want somebody who I know and trust.
Carly: Please, do not tell me you're going to ask Alexis.
Jax: No, I want Alexis to represent me. Unless, of course, you object. And maybe even if you do.
Carly: Really? Well, I do object, jax. I object to the whole damn thing.
Maxie: Obviously, you're depressed. It's no wonder. This room is hideous. I mean, look at this furniture. It's horrible. In the real world, no sane person would live like this.
Lulu: I get what you're trying to do.
Maxie: Ok.
Lulu: You think if you babble long enough, what I just said will become unsaid and then we can pretend that I'm not losing my mind. I get it, it's embarrassing.
Maxie: Why don't you tell me why you would think such a thing.
Lulu: Maxie, I don't know if I would trust you with something so personal.
Maxie: I'm going to try really hard not to be offended by that. Look, Lulu, I know this is
awkward, ok? Our relationship used to be simple -- pure, instinctive hate. But things have changed and we had to learn to depend on each other.
Lulu: More like I had to learn to depend on you.
Maxie: I think it went both ways. I thought after everything that happened with Logan, we would be in a different place where we could talk about things -- important things, real things. But if that's just me projecting, we can stop.
Lulu: No, no, no, it's not. I just -- I have to take a minute for that to sink in. Ok, so when I first got here, I was so flipped out about seeing Logan, choking on guilt, I was cut off from Johnny and my brothers and you and Kate, everything that was familiar and safe, so I would go and talk to my mom. Even though she's catatonic, it still helps for me to say things out loud to organize my thoughts. So, um, one day, I was there and I was crying, my head in her lap, and I felt the softest touch. And she said that everything is going to be ok. And I looked up and she was there, lucid. She was awake. She was saying everything that I needed to hear to get through Johnny's trial.
Maxie: So far, I mean, I don't see the bad thing. So -- so your mom's awake? That's great, Lulu. Unless she had another relapse.
Lulu: It turns out that she was never awake. I made the whole thing up in my head. Apparently, I have been delusional for weeks. I guess seeing Logan was a warm-up for the main event.
Maxie: I have no idea why I just did that. I'm sorry.
Lulu: No, that's ok. No harm done.
Maxie: I'm really sorry, Lulu. I just -- I didn't realize the hell you've been going through. But at least you know now, right? And you can get help.
Lulu: You sound exactly like Nikolas, putting a positive spin on everything.
Maxie: No, I'm just trying to be realistic. As I see it, you've got two choices. You can give up and stay locked in here with people who get upset over murals that don't even exist, or you can take the help and get out of here and enjoy what life is really all about. I mean, God, Lulu, think about everything you are missing. You have Johnny, this great guy who loves you, one of the most fantastic jobs on the face of the planet, and the opportunity to irritate me on a daily basis. I don't see what could be more of an incentive than that. So it's settled. You'll just concentrate on getting better and get out of here and come back to work. So I should go, because the doctor said that I shouldn't stay too long. I don't want him to kick me out. But, you know, if you need anything, just give me a call on my cell phone.
Lulu: Maxie?
Maxie: Hmm?
Lulu: For somebody that I can't stand on a regular basis, you turned out to be a pretty good friend.
Maxie: I know. It's weird, right?
Olivia: Hit me. I'm going to need to be fortified for this one.
Vito: Ok, stop stalling. Please, tell me you turned Sonny down.
Olivia: You wouldn't be here if you thought I had.
Vito: Damn it! Why do you put yourself through all this?
Olivia: Why would I give up a chance to go to a big, splashy, high-society wedding, starring none other than our cousin Connie?
Vito: You want a list? Sonny Corinthos is dangerous to your body, on account of he's
had a career in crime since before he dropped out of high school. And to your heart, since he's already broken it once.
Olivia: Vito, please. He barely even scratched the surface. Sonny was hot. We hung out for a while and then we didn't. He was one of a very long string of guys that I went through in those days. It was high school, ok? It was ancient history.
Vito: Me thinks she doth shoot her mouth off too much.
Olivia: Oh, screw you.
Vito: Huh, Sonny ought to worry about that.
Olivia: Not any more. Not even really that much back then. Sonny was always after Connie. And now by some bizarre twist of fate, he's marrying her. He's marrying Kate Howard, but that's another discussion, so -- Sonny invited me to the wedding as a surprise present for Connie, ok? That's all he's about. It's Connie, ok? So I said yes.
Vito: Because you two are such great friends. Did you happen to mention the last time you got into a fight when Connie came back? How you called your friend a phony and basically ran her out of Bensonhurst?
Olivia: No, no, Vito. That is not fair. Connie walked away because she wanted to because that's what that girl does. She spent half her life not looking back, so don't even try to put that on me.
Vito: You know what? I got a kitchen to install. [Speaks Italian] Please, sis, for once, think first.
Kate: Is it musical? Did you get John Mayer to sing at our wedding?
Sonny: Who?
[Kate sighs]
Kate: Ok, um, is it something to wear?
Sonny: Uh --
Kate: Oh, I know what it is. It's for our honeymoon.
Sonny: Ah -- we -- I'm not saying.
Kate: Oh, Sonny.
Kate: A little hint? Just a hint?
Sonny: No, no, not even. Is this hot? Sit -- just sit down for one second. Here's the thing, ok?
Sonny: Look at me. I don't want you to worry. I don't want you to anticipate disaster. I'm a legitimate coffee importer. All our secrets are out.
Kate: Oh, um, well, in the interest of full disclosure, you should know I went to see carly yesterday.
Sonny: You don't have to account for your time. You can do whatever you want.
Kate: Thank you. I appreciate that.
Sonny: You're welcome.
Kate: I just thought you should hear it from me, i told her in no uncertain terms that she should stay away from you.
Carly: I'm sorry. I'm sorry for snapping at you. I have no right. My head knows that our marriage is over, but my -- the rest of me is having a hard time catching up.
Jax: I can relate to that.
Carly: I'm going to be honest with you. Alexis and I have a lot of bad road behind us. I realize that's not your experience with her. I respect that. It will be very hard for me to have her rip me apart or take a stand against me.
Jax: Ok, fair enough. I'll find someone else to represent me.
Jax: You know, this divorce isn't easy for me either. The last thing I want is for you to feel like you're being punished for what you did.
Carly: Did I blink my eyes? How did we end up here?
Jax: I think you know the answer to that.
Carly: Yeah, I do. I do. The end of our marriage is -- well, I made it inevitable, so you have every right to get through it the best way you can. So forget what I said. If you want Alexis to represent you, then that's the way it should be. And your attorney is here, so I better go find one of my own.
Alexis: Well, hi. You wanted to see me?
Jax: Yeah. I'm not sure why anymore.
Sep 23, 2008 11:04
Alexis: Ok, since you scheduled this appointment through my office and not through me directly, I'm assuming you want Alexis the lawyer and not Alexis the friend.
Jax: Well, can't I have both?
Alexis: You can have whatever you want. So how can both of me help you?
Jax: Well, Carly and I are moving forward with the divorce proceedings and I want you to represent me.
Alexis: Ok. I mean, you're my best friend, whatever you need.
Jax: Mm, I feel a "but" coming.
Alexis: Ah, it's just a little red flag. Carly and I loathe each other, so I don't want my involvement to make anything worse for you.
Jax: That would only happen if you insisted on saying, "I told you so."
Alexis: I take no pleasure in being right -- about this. Honestly, if anyone deserves forever love, it's you. And for what it's worth, I believe that Carly does love you in her way.
Jax: Yeah, that's what makes it so damn hard.
Johnny: Hey.
Carly: Hey.
Johnny: You got a minute?
Carly: Uh, yeah. Congratulations on the acquittal.
Johnny: Yeah, thanks. It was a nice surprise.
Carly: I'll bet.
Johnny: Have you, uh -- I was wondering if you've been to Shadybrook lately?
Carly: I'm going to see Lulu tomorrow. Why?
Johnny: Lulu's doctors don't think it's a very good idea for us to see each other right now. And Lulu knows about this, but, I don't know, she's just very fragile right now and I don't want her to think I'm abandoning her.
Carly: I'll make sure she doesn't.
Johnny: Thanks. Hey, while I'm on a roll, do you think you could get back to me after you see Lulu? Tell me what you think?
Carly: I can do that.
Scott: You two over here gloating? You think you got away with murder, but you didn't. Just because you're not in shackles, doesn't mean you're not going to pay.
Carly: You better be careful. You're threatening an innocent man in front of a witness.
Scott: My son is dead. He is rotting in the ground, and he did it. Now let me assure both of you, one day your father is going to know what it's like to feel the same pain and the same emptiness that I do.
Kate: Are you mad?
Sonny: After everything Carly's done, I mean, why shouldn't you stick up for yourself? But I just want you to understand Carly's not a threat to you.
Kate: I know that.
Sonny: Ok.
Kate: It would just make perfect Carly sense for her to try to sabotage the wedding in some way, either out of her need to hold on to her claim, or more likely, out of her pathological need for revenge.
Sonny: It doesn't matter what Carly wants or why. She has to have my participation to get it, and that's not happening. It took a lot to get you to trust me again. I'm not going to trash that for Carly or for anybody else. You're going to be my wife to be. You better get used to it.
Kate: I think i can manage that.
[Doorbell rings]
Sonny: Just ignore it. Ignore it, please.
Kate: Oh. Oh, no. Oh, no. Sonny, you have to go. I just remembered you have to get out of here.
Sonny: What do you --
Kate: Here, you have to put this on.
Anthony: I'm giving you a head's up. Prepare for big changes from top to bottom. Because I'm not happy with the sloppy way this organization's been run since i've been distracted by -- I'll call you back. Did you sneak past the guards, or do i need to call for body bags?
Jason: You've got a shipment in the harbor on a freighter out of the grand keys. And from what I hear, it's supposed to dock at pier 24. That's a violation of our truce, so move it or I'm going to blow it up.
[Anthony chuckles]
Anthony: You tempt me, Mr. Morgan. How I would love to eat that loss. It would finally give me a valid reason to retaliate, and we'd be off to the races. I'd get to sink my teeth into a good old-fashioned, go-to-the-mattress war. Take you to school on how we did it back in the day. Put some fire on that ice that runs through your veins. You'd be put to the test. Your measure as a boss taken. And we'd see who'd be the last man standing. But therein lies the rub. I can't stand. So because I'm just a pathetic shell of my former self, rolling around in a wheelchair, you'll get what you want. The status quo stands. None of my shipments touch pier 24, including this one.
Jason: Good.
Ric: Somewhere between cocktail hour and the end of the day, I expect to be briefed on all the Zacchara holdings in this organization.
Trevor: Expect it? Forget about it. Even if we weren't about to unload an important shipment within the hour, I don't have the time or the inclination to take you by your hand and walk you through the company business.
Anthony: There is no shipment.
Trevor: What?
Anthony: I'm canceling it. I'm sending this ship back to the grand keys.
Trevor: Now, why would you do that? Do you know how much money we're going to lose?
Anthony: You mean, you know how much money I'm going to lose. You should never have approved that shipment in the first place, Trevor. Why didn't you just send out engraved invitations? You might as well have, the way you sat that cargo smack in the middle of the harbor aimed at a pier that you knew was off limits. You made it easy for Morgan to find and threaten it, and that's a rookie mistake, Trevor. Which tells me that you're either not paying attention, or you're really off your game. And either way, I can't have that! Effective tomorrow, you are in charge of imports.
Ric: Thank you, Anthony. You won't be disappointed.
Trevor: The hell he won't. First off, those are my piers. And you just made a big mistake, which you ought to rethink. Putting that kind of trust in my son Richie, it's just going to come around and bite you in your ass.
Anthony: Richie is the reason that Johnny is free. I already trust him. In my office, 8:00 A.M.
Ric: I'll take care of it.
Trevor: Tony, wait.
Anthony: I'm in no mood for your whining, Trevor.
Trevor: I never whine. This is a fact. Johnny might be out of prison and free, but he is still vulnerable to Lulu Spencer. And so as long as Richie is your newly anointed, you best get him to find a way to keep Lulu and Johnny separate forever.
Anthony: Ric's got enough on his plate. You could use a win, Trevor. Work on it. Split up Johnny and Lulu in some lasting way, and I might let you back in the fold.
Jax: Should be pretty straightforward. Carly and I didn't share a lot of community property, so --
Alexis: Ok, well, that will save you a lot of trouble. That's good thinking. I mean, in retrospect. All right, here is what I am going to suggest, all right? I think that you should offer her a lump sum in lieu of future claims.
Jax: Well, I'll offer, but i doubt she'll accept.
Alexis: You're a big goofball, you know that? After all the ways that she manipulates you, and you still think the best of her.
Jax: Yeah, well, I'm not so good because a better person might not be sitting here with you right now. He'd be at home sticking it out with his wife like he vowed to do.
Maxie: I finally tracked you down.
Carly: Why did you need to?
Maxie: Well, i'm following up on RSVPS for Kate's wedding, and, tsk, tsk, you haven't sent yours in yet.
Carly: I'd rather stick cocktail forks in my eyes than watch Sonny marry Kate. There wasn't a box to check for that option.
Maxie: Look, I know we're not friends, but we know a lot of the same people, and quite frankly, have a similar track record. So as one bad girl to the other, you need to be at that wedding.
Kate: So, um, I would like the service to be eloquent, yet simple.
Reverend: Mm-hmm. Oh -- oh, my goodness.
Kate: Look who just dropped by. Oh, I forgot. You were planning to make me lunch.
Reverend, this is my extremely thoughtful fiancee, Sonny Corinthos. Sonny, this is Reverend Norris.
Rev. Norris: Pleasure. Glad you're here, Mr. Corinthos. I was hoping to speak to both of you.
Sonny: You can just call me Sonny. That'd be good, yeah.
Kate: Ok, so we'll sit.
Rev. Norris: I'd like to review a few things. Now, my forms indicate that this
is your first marriage, Kate?
Kate: Yes, that's correct.
Rev. Norris: And, sonny, your third.
Sonny: Sixth. Depends how you look at it.
Rev. Norris: Six?
Sonny: Well, my first wife died, and then my second I married four times.
Rev. Norris: Were those episcopal ceremonies?
Sonny: No, catholic.
Rev. Norris: Were any of those four marriages annulled?
Sonny: No, but we are divorced.
Kate: Wait, wait. You know what this means? In the eyes of the Catholic Church, you're still married to Carly
Carly: Why would I want to watch Sonny marry a woman I hate?
Maxie: To show that you're the bigger woman, that you can wish Sonny well despite everything that has gone on between the two of you. I mean, Carly, you need to walk into that church with your head held high, totally designer-ed out, looking better than the bride. Make people wonder what sort of drugs Sonny and Jax were on to ever let your utter fabulousness go.
Carly: It would be worth it just to see the look on Kate's face.
Maxie: She would die. Kate knows that if you woke up one morning and all bets were off, you'd take Sonny back and she'd be toast.
Carly: Ok, you're going way past "bad girl" empathy. You're either completely disloyal to Kate, or you have some kind of agenda.
Maxie: I know Kate, ok? I mean, I owe her, like, my life. She gave me the best job in the entire world. She opens those doors for me every single day, but she can kind of be a bitch sometimes. I mean, have you seen how she goes off on Spinelli? And do I ever say anything? No -- in my own time. I just -- i call it like I see it.
Maxie: But back to the wedding. You're going to need an escort, right?
Kate: Reverend, how can Sonny and I say our vows before god if God still considers him married to Carly?
Sonny: With all due respect, God's not going to be paying attention to us. I mean, look -- and I don't mean that in a bad way. I'm just saying on that particular happy day, God's going to be paying attention to something wrong in the world.
Kate: No, sonny.
Kate: This is wrong.
Sonny: This is --
Kate: What, call me quirky. I'd like to be your only wife. It's just another sign.
Sonny: Stop now with the signs.
Kate: Reverend, does this disqualify us?
Rev. Norris: Not at all. While Episcopal doctrine honors Catholic marriages, it also
honors how state law defines divorce. You're perfectly free to marry in our church as long as Sonny is indeed divorced from his previous wife.
Sonny: Oh, absolutely. She's married some other guy.
Rev. Norris: Then there's no problem unless the bride has misgivings.
Kate: No, I have no misgivings. And I'm sorry for taking us off course. So sonny and I would like to have a traditional ceremony. We'd like to say the traditional vows from the common book of prayers. Except there'll just be -- there will be one exception. I will not say the word "obey."
Lulu: Lucky just left. I walked him out. I won't lie, it hurt watching him drive away knowing I wouldn't be leaving myself. It scares me to think how crazy I am. Knowing that you only existed in my head all that time. But I'm not sorry. I needed you. I could have never gotten over Logan and my guilt without you. To think when I actually confessed, nobody even believed me. I could have stood on the rooftop and yelled that I killed Logan Hayes and still I wouldn't have gone to prison. I think about all the stuff that Johnny and I did to prevent that. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter, because Logan's gone and I still have Johnny, and Johnny and I still have a second chance.
Lulu: I love you, mom. I know that you love me, and that's why I choose to believe that part of you -- maybe it was your spirit -- was really with me. You saved me. So I'm going to make you a promise. This -- this silent life in this chair is not going to be my fate. I'm going to let the doctors help me. And when they say it is ok, I'm going to go to Johnny and I'm going to love him with everything I am. And I'm going to go back to "Crimson" and reclaim my lowly position in the fashion world. I'm going to live my life and claim everything that you've ever wanted for me. Maybe that will even the score.
[Lulu sighs]
Lulu: I love you, mom.
Jason: All right, what's the big emergency?
Carly: I didn't say there was an emergency. I said this was important.
Jason: Ok, I'm listening.
Carly: I want you to escort me to Sonny and Kate's wedding.
Jason: I'm not going. You shouldn't either.
Carly: I can't stay away.
Jason: What -- what good is going to come of you crashing Sonny's wedding?
Carly: I wouldn't be crashing the wedding. I'm an invited guest. The good is, it will make me feel great and Kate will be miserable.
Carly: Best of both worlds.
Jason: Do -- do you remember promising me not to make any waves?
Carly: I'm not going to make waves. I'm not going to stand up and object or anything.
Jason: Well, I wouldn't put it past you.
Carly: Ye of little faith.
Jason: Do you really think you can sit there calm and quiet while Sonny marries somebody else?
Carly: I don't know. Maybe not. In fact, now that i think about it, it's entirely possible that I could stand up and dosomething unplanned -- make that probably. So, you know, it could help me a lot if you were there.
Jason: Ok, so here -- here comes the blackmail.
Carly: No. It's a best friend asking her best friend for some help and support. I would really like it if you could be there with me.
Jason: I'll let you know.
Maxie: Hey, have I had a day. I went to go visit Lulu at Shadybrook.
Spinelli: How is the original blonde one?
Maxie: Well, if she takes my advice, she should be fine. Although, anything would be an improvement. So then I went to the metro court to track down Carly. Are you ready? Not only did I convince Carly to come to Sonny and Kate's wedding, but I talked her into bringing Jason. So not only will Sonny feel supported, but he won't go over the deep end, which should increase the chances that "Crimson" will survive and that will help my glowing fashion career.
Spinelli: The Jackal is awed by your persuasive power and your remarkable, though convoluted, chain of reasoning, but I -- I detect a flaw in your logic.
Maxie: Are you kidding?
Spinelli: Well, the Valkyrie is not known for her subdued personality or self-control. In fact, at times it's even impossible for stone cold to contain her.
Maxie: So you think Carly will slow boil until she erupts and ruins the wedding?
Spinelli: I think there's a better chance than not.
Maxie: But that would be a disaster.
Spinelli: My point exactly.
Maxie: Ok -- ok, well, it's too late to stop the train, so I should just cover my tracks. Was that a pun?
Spinelli: Good job.
[Maxie and Spinelli laugh]
Maxie: It doesn't matter. Kate can't know that I have anything to do with Carly coming
to her wedding.
Vito: So what happened to your busy day?
Olivia: I closed the counter early. Here, you look thirsty.
Vito: You want something.
Olivia: I need a ride to the airport tomorrow.
Vito: Call a cab.
Olivia: A cab costs money.
Vito: Catch a bus.
Olivia: Bus takes too long. Come on, Vito. How many times I helped you to hell and back? Don't bust my chops here.
Vito: I'm trying to look out for you. Going to Sonny Corinthos' wedding is a bad idea.
Olivia: Why don't you think of it as a nice gesture to your cousin Connie?
Vito: Connie might as well not even be there. This is about unfinished business with Sonny. Olivia, I'm your brother. I was there. I remember you bawling your eyes out every night after Sonny dumped you for Connie, and now you're going to watch the two of them get married? It's a recipe for disaster.
Olivia: Ok, well, the flight leaves at 10:00. Pick me up at 8:30.
[Vito groans]
Olivia: Thanks.
Sonny: Hey, you worried?
Kate: No.
Sonny: Come on, be honest.
Kate: All right. Um, it freaks me out a little, you know? Once upon a time, it was my dream to get married in a Catholic church, but we'rebarred. It's like we're excommunicated.
Sonny: Come on, you don't have to take it like that.
Kate: What?
Sonny: Well, i'm just saying --
kate: It's just one more thing to add to my pile, one more bad omen like blood on the wedding dress.
Sonny: My surprise will ward off all stupid curses. My surprise is the good omen that ends all bad omens. My surprise is so fantastic, that anything that's happened or will happen, will not spoil our beautiful day. Now, get over here and stop obsessing, ok?
Sep 24, 2008 04:47
[Italian wedding music playing] spinelli: Stone cold.
[music stops]
spinelli: Did the most recent shipment arrive unmolested?
Jason: Yes.
Spinelli: Good, good. If you were wondering what i was doing there --
jason: No, i really wasn't wondering what --
spinelli: If the jackal is to escort the fair maximista to mr. Sir's wedding then, you know, i got -- i got to brush up on the old terpsichore, you know.
Jason: Ok, listen. I need -- i need you to do some research for me.
Spinelli: Yes. Yes, the jackal is at your service. What are we researching? Comrade karpov, anthony zacchara?
Jason: Actually, it's -- it's personal.
Olivia: Perfect. Holy crap. Holy -- sorry, sister.
Sister: It's quite all right.
Olivia: It's just i'm a little keyed up. I'm on the way to see an old boyfriend marry my cousin.
Kate's voice: I had the worst fight with olivia today. She acts like i stole something from her.
Sonny: How's the seating chart?
Kate: Um -- it's not good.
Sonny: Why?
Kate: There's so many people who hate each other, and then others who don't know each other at all. God forbid someone drinks too much and they become belligerent.
Sonny: You all right?
Kate: Yeah, fine. I'm fine, right? On friday i'm going to be standing at the altar with the man of my dreams.
Sonny: Is there another bad omen, kate?
Kate: Why do i keep seeing them? Is it me? Am i afraid to get married or am i just terrified something's going to prevent it?
Carly: You have to let me know if you're going to have that dress ready in time, because i'll go down to manhattan and get another one. All right. I have to have a fabulous dress for the wedding. Thanks.
Jax: You can't seriously be considering going to sonny and kate's wedding.
spinelli: Behold. Preliminary results of the jackal's cyber handiwork.
Jason: Yeah, looks good.
Spinelli: You know, the jackal's heart rejoices at stone cold's request. Clearly, signing the master up for online dating proved most beneficial.
Jason: Ok, online dating had nothing to do with this.
Spinelli: Au contraire. Just the -- the thought of sorting through comely strangers to find a potential partner made stone cold realize his ongoing attachment to the maternal one.
Jason: Spinelli.
Spinelli: It is fate, stone cold. It is fate, a love that cannot be denied, much like that of anthony and cleopatra, odysseus and penelope, dante and beatrice, lady and the tramp.
Jason: Ok, i appreciate your enthusiasm here, but i get --
spinelli: Just to think -- just to think that the jackal played a key role in your romantic destiny. Stone cold's wise choice will open a door to -- to a wide spectrum of emotional adventure. Just imagine the moonlight on the maternal one's face, the joy in her eyes.
Jason: Ok, i need some more research, please.
Spinelli: Right. Results wait anon for this monumental matter, the results of which will bode well for happy endings everywhere.
kate: I'm just being silly. I'm just thinking a lot about family and -- you realize i'm not getting married with nonna's necklace? I mean, i haven't thought about that in forever. I don't know why i'm thinking about it now.
Sonny: Well, because you're marrying the boy you loved in high school, and weddings were a big deal in the old neighborhood.
Kate: Do you remember carlo and angela's --
sonny: Wedding parties, dancing in the street.
Kate: Yeah. I don't think anyone's going to be doing that at ours.
Sonny: I'll do it, if you want to do it.
Kate: No, it's just, you know, a celebration from another life.
Sonny: Connie falconeri's life.
Kate: That necklace was from sicily. Nonna's great grandfather gave it to her great grandmother the night before their wedding. Nonna was the fourth generation to wear that necklace. She brought it over to america, and all the falconeri brides have worn it.
Sonny: We will track down the damn necklace, kate.
Kate: No. I'm just being nostalgic, that's all.
Sonny: Tradition's important.
Kate: I'm not a falconeri girl anymore.
Sister: Am i making you nervous, dear?
Olivia: No, no. Well, yeah. Yeah, just a second. I went to a catholic high school. Sitting next to a nun, it just kind of pushes a lot of adolescent buttons, you know?
Sister: I taught at a catholic high school.
Olivia: Oh, yeah?
Sister: I assume you broke a few of the rules?
Olivia: Where do i begin? I rolled my skirt up about a foot too high. I wore makeup. I ditched class. I hung out by the front gates talking to boys. I didn't smoke, though. I was a swimmer, couldn't be short of breath. Plus, i hated the taste, so... Sister: Girls like you were always a challenge. You had such potential, but it was a constant struggle to try to keep you focused.
Olivia: Well, i guess, you know, i could have paid a little more attention. Maybe learned a couple more things. But, hey, you know what? No regrets. I'm happy the way my life turned out, right?
Sister: No wrong turns along the way?
Olivia: Well, there is one pretty close call. You know that old boyfriend i was telling you about? He was trouble. Man, if i were to have stayed with him my life would have been a nightmare. But i didn't. Thank God. Right, sister?
Lulu: Can you come see me today?
Johnny: I don't want to interfere with the work you're doing with dr. Winters.
Lulu: Please, i really need to see you. Something happened.
Johnny: What?
Lulu: I can't really explain it over the phone. I just -- i know that you're going to understand. At first i thought it meant that i was crazy, that it was something really bad, but it's actually not like that at all.
Johnny: Well, have you talked about it with dr. Winters?
Lulu: It's different when i'm with you. Please, please. Can you come?
Johnny: Ok.
Lulu: Thank you. I love you.
Johnny: I love you, too.
Claudia: Let me guess. Lulu?
Johnny: Don't start.
Claudia: Ok, i'll make you a deal. I won't start if you won't see her.
Johnny: She needs me.
Claudia: Ok, john. She always needs you. She's always going to need you. Hey, you know what? I put my life on the line for you. I got up on that stand and i lied. The very least you can do is hear me out.
[Knocking on door]
nikolas: Hey.
Lulu: Hi. What a nice surprise to see you.
Lulu: If you're asking if i'm having imaginary conversations with our mother, the answer is no.
Nikolas: Here.
Lulu: What?
Nikolas: They're cookies from bobbie.
Lulu: Sugar cookies.
Nikolas: Yeah, she said that mom used to make them for you when you were little.
Lulu: Yeah, yeah. She used to ask me to be her assistant chef. It was her way of keeping me busy when dad was gone and i was sad.
Nikolas: Well, she was helping you then, and she's still helping you. Isn't she?
Lulu: I really thought she recovered. I just -- i can't believe that was all in my head.
Nikolas: The mind can do some strange things to you when you miss someone you love.
Lulu: Well, it was mom -- or the illusion of mom that made me face what really happened to logan, and she told me not to be guilty or feel victimized and --
nikolas: Have you -- have you seen logan since the last time we spoke?
Lulu: No, no. Not once. I'm really -- i am in a better place, and i just need to focus on getting better and living the life that mom would want me to live.
Nikolas: And you'll get it, lulu. You're stronger than you think, you know?
Lulu: That's exactly what johnny says to me. He's coming to visit me today.
Nikolas: Oh, he is?
Lulu: Yeah.
Nikolas: His idea or --
lulu: Mine. I mean, he -- he didn't want to, you know, mess up my therapy or anything, but i need to see him.
Nikolas: I think that's a really bad idea.
Sonny: I don't know if you know this, but i was always jealous of your family because you guys were always so close. It must have been real hard to leave, huh?
Kate: Um, mm-hmm.
kate: I didn't go home much after i started at princeton. Every summer i'd get an internship in manhattan, and then after i graduated, i landed my entry level position at "couture."
Sonny: That's when you met trevor.
Kate: Yeah. He started introducing me to people, and he takes way too much credit. I am the one who did all the work. I was so determined to make it in the fashion industry. Nothing was going to stop me.
Sonny: How often did you go home?
Kate: I don't know -- twice a year? The last time i went home it was for nonna's 80th birthday. We were going to plan a big party for her, and i wanted to take everyone to the city. I wanted to take them to dinner and manhattan and i could finally afford it, but i had a big fight with olivia and i swore i'd never go back. It was the last time i saw my parents alive.
Sonny: Sorry.
Kate: You know, out of everyone, it was my mom. She's the only who would ever tell me she was proud of me. I could call her on the phone, and i did sometimes, and nobody ever knew -- no one. Not even my father. She's the only one i could tell if i got a promotion or i got to go to a party or some boss was really being difficult, and she always gave me the same advice. She always said, "do not let anyone take advantage of you. Be proud of yourself, because you're as good as anyone else. In fact, you're better than most." I'd buy her a present every time i went to paris. I don't know, something special i thought she'd appreciate, and i never took the train to bring it to her. It would have been so easy. I'd always mail it. I -- i really miss her. I miss all of them.
Sonny: Hey.
Spinelli: Ah. Everything required for stone cold's excellent adventure will be delivered within the hour.
Jason: All right. Thanks.
Spinelli: It is indeed my pleasure. Might i ask, though -- if online dating was not the catalyst, what did prompt stone cold's sudden and romantic change of heart?
Jason: Well, i've always wanted to be with elizabeth. Did you know i asked her to marry me right before michael got shot?
Spinelli: No, i wasn't aware of that.
Jason: And i thought i had to end things permanently with her.
Spinelli: But brave elizabeth disagrees?
Jason: I mean, she thinks whatever time we can have in secret is enough.
Spinelli: This is a bold and important step that you will never regret.
diane: You owe me a raise. I am privy to certain information regarding a strategic piece of waterfront property, but we have to act very fast.
Spinelli: No, cease and desist. Stone cold is otherwise engaged.
Sep 24, 2008 04:53
Lucky: So, we're just going to go away for a few days at bear lake. Me, the boys, sam.
Elizabeth: Well, what about her undercover work to bust the drug ring?
Lucky: Cam and jake are going to be fine. We're going to go to a place where no one will see sam with us. It will give her a chance to get to know the boys, you know? That's if it's ok.
Elizabeth: Well, obviously things are getting more serious between the two of you, so -- i mean, i guess it's a good idea that the boys become more comfortable with her, and they're going to be with you. So, ok, just go.
Lucky: All right. Thanks.
Elizabeth: Yeah. Do you remember when we camped out under the docks together?
Lucky: Yeah, all those nights in the boxcar.You were pretty good roughing it.
Elizabeth: Well, you were a good teacher, and now cameron and jake get to learn from you. I'm really glad you're part of their lives.
Lucky: Me, too.
Elizabeth: You're going to have a fun trip.
Lulu: I thought you were on my side.
Nikolas: I am, which is why i don't want you dependent on john.
Lulu: In other words, get better for myself. I heard you the first ten million times you told me, and you should feel better because lainey reinforces it every single time we have a therapy session.
Nikolas: All right, well, then at the risk of watching you roll your eyes at me --
lulu: You just go ahead. I'm bracing myself.
Nikolas: Yes, yes. I want you to find your own strength, so you can take care of you no matter what happens.
Lulu: It's not like i think johnny is going to magically cure me. I was with him in new york city when i started to crack up. I know i need to get better for myself. Look, i just don't think there is anything wrong with wanting to get out of here to be with him.
Nikolas: I -- i don't either. I'm just saying -- i -- i have no doubt that john loves you or that he wants what's best for you, but lulu, he's tied into this -- all right, maybe trapped in a dangerous, unstable family. And i'm saying i know what that feels like, because i've been trying to escape the cassadines for years and haven't necessarily been successful at it. And his situation is very similar to mine, maybe even worse.
Lulu: What -- what are you trying to warn me about?
Nikolas: He may not want or intend to hurt you, but it can still happen simply because he is in that family.
Lulu: Ok, i get it. I do, and i really appreciate that you want to help me, but what you need to understand is being with johnny makes me feel wonderful, ok? I love the way he talks to me, the way he laughs when he's holding me when we're together --
nikolas: Ok -- ok -- that's enough.
Lulu: Too much information. Sorry.
Nikolas: Yeah. Yeah, when you start teasing your older brother like that, i know you're on the mend. I get it.
Lulu: I am. I promise.
Nikolas: Well, that's good to hear.
Lulu: Thank you. You're the best.
Nikolas: Yeah, well.
Nikolas: All right. Love you, i'll see you later.
Lulu: Thanks for the cookies.
Johnny: I know what i owe you, claudia, and so does lulu.
Claudia: Hey, i don't give adamn about lulu, john. Look me in the eyes. Tell me that girl is stable.
Johnny: She's getting better, and she'll be out of shadybrook in no time.
Claudia: Oh, good. Great. So, then what? Then what are you going to do with her? Johnny, come on. The girl's a mess. She's fragile. She is so fragile. She falls apart at the drop of a hat. She cries. She hallucinates, john, and i know that -- hey, i know that you -- you want to help her, but the truth of the matter is, it doesn't serve you and it doesn't serve lulu for the two of you guys to be together.
Johnny: Claudia, i love her.
Claudia: I know, but it's only going to hurt her worse when you break it off with her eventually.
Johnny: You say that like it's inevitable.
Claudia: Johnny, do you really think that she's going to be able to handle our family's dark-hearted drama?
Johnny: I don't want to hear this.
Ric: Not very cheerful for a man who just won his freedom.
Claudia: Johnny's not free yet, but you and i are going to fix that.
Spinelli: The brusque lady of justice's business matter will have to wait.
[Diane scoffs]
diane: It can't.
Spinelli: Stone cold has other pressing matters.
Diane: I am fast running out of patience with you, mr. Grasshopper. The window of opportunity to acquire these properties is very small. If you manage to pull it off, you could have a lock on the entire waterfront.
Jason: Ok, set it up.
Spinelli: No. Stone cold has other, much more pressing matters.
Diane: Ok, what are they and why don't i know about them?
Jason: It can wait.
Spinelli: Stone cold, it has been delayed for far too long. The jackal advises to strike while the iron is hot. Now is not the time to bridle one's enthusiasm.
Diane: Translate, please.
Spinelli: I speak of another brief window of opportunity that could be slammed shut by any number of factors, climatic interference, for example. It is the ideal time of year, the ideal from any possible vantage point. Stone cold could get caught up in a myriad of excuses that may lead him to tragically cancel altogether. Now is the moment. Stone cold must seize it while he has the chance.
Claudia: Lucky spencer wants johnny far away from lulu.
Ric: And so do you.
Claudia: I'm all my brother has.
Ric: Not to state the obvious, claudia, but john has managed to survive all of these years on his own.
Claudia: Because he retreated. Because he stayed under the radar. My father was going insane. John only had to worry about himself until lulu came along, and now she is a liability. John and lulu need to be over for both of their good, you know?
Ric: Mm-hmm, ok. Where do i come in?
Claudia: I want you to make sure that lucky spencer knows john is on his way to see lulu right now.
Ric: That -- that's going to be a little difficult, because, see, lucky and i are hardly on speaking terms.
Claudia: Well, he's -- he's going to be much more likely to listen to you than he is to me.
Ric: Not necessarily.
Claudia: I am the biggest ally you have in this family.
Ric: Oh.
Claudia: Consider it a favor.
Ric: Yeah, let's just call it what it really is, claudia.
Claudia: What?
Ric: Manipulation. You don't want your fingerprints on this, because it might get back to your good friend nikolas.
Jax: Carly.
Carly: Oh, jax, i have to go see lulu.
Jax: I know -- i know she won't mind if you're a few minutes late. We need to discuss sonny and kate's wedding.
Carly: You're not going to talk me out of it.
Jax: There's only two reasons why you might be doing to this. One, you want to make trouble for sonny and kate or you want to prove something to me, so just --
carly: I'm going because i was invited, and i'm not going to hide.
Jax: Ok, first of all, you don't like kate and you think that sonny is wrong for marrying her. So, this is not something that you're celebrating.
Carly: Sonny has convinced himself that kate makes him happy. So, you know what? I wish them all the best.
Jax: Do you?
Carly: I am sorry. I am so sorry that i ruined our marriage by sleeping with sonny, but i -- i'm not going to hide my head in shame. I'm going to own what i did, and i am going to move on.
Jax: Ok, well, you can still accomplish that and not go.
Carly: I'm going to be there, and if that's the worst thing that happens at their wedding, then sonny and kate should just consider themselves lucky.
Olivia: We've been circling the airport for longer than it took us to fly here. I should've just taken the damn -- the darn train. Sorry.
Sister: You seem rather anxious.
Olivia: Well, my cousin connie and i, we don't really get along, you know? We used to when we were kids, but i haven't see her or spoken to her in years.
Sister: But she asked you to her wedding, right?
Olivia: Well, actually -- you remember the old boyfriend i was telling you about?
Sister: Mm-hmm.
Olivia: This was all his idea. He paid my whole way, everything. Pretty decent of him, right?
Sister: Clearly, you've stayed on good terms.
Olivia: Well, actually, i hadn't seen him in almost 25 years either. God, it's just -- it's crazy. He used to make my knees weak, and he's only gotten better looking. He's got these dimples. He's a pretty serious type of guy, but -- but when he smiles it's like -- that was a long time ago.
Sister: I see. May i ask why he invited you?
Olivia: As a surprise for my cousin. He wanted to do something nice, and i said, "what the hell." What the hay -- you know, why not? You don't get anything by being a coward, right? So, i figured i'd just show up and see what happens.
Kate: Ok, well, we are going to be late for rehearsal.
Sonny: There's no rush.
Kate: Yeah, well, it's easy for you to be relaxed, right? Because you've had lots of practice.
Sonny: Hey, you don't have to do that. You don't have to put on a front.It's ok to miss your family. You gave up a lot more than you bargained for, you know? Moving to manhattan and building a career -- so, what?
Kate: You're all the family i need. Ok? So, no more maudlin sentiment. No more silly superstitions. Nothing is going to stop me from standing at that alter and walking into a new life with you.
Maxie: Kate. The worst thing ever just happened.
spinelli: If you would care to email the pertinent details --
diane: I don't -- i don't know what's going on here. I so rarely do when it comes to mr. Grasshopper. But if you are planning to carpe any diem of a professional nature, you might want to consult with me first.
Spinelli: Uh, the services of the brusque wet blanket of justice are not needed at present.
Diane: If you pass up this opportunity to gain a vital hold on the waterfront, it will likely not come again.
Jason: If i have to appear someplace to make this happen --
diane: Yes, you do.
Jason: I'm going to have to pass.
[Spinelli cheers]
diane: Jason, maybe i didn't make myself clear --
jason: No, you made -- you made yourself clear. I have a previous commitment.
Diane: Right, ok. Who am i to argue? But just so you know, the entire mystifying and frustrating encounter has been billable.
Jason: Ok, spinelli, you can stop. Just stop.
Spinelli: I can't. I can't contain my joy. Stone cold is finally choosing his happiness over the burdens of work and duty. It is a bright, shining day. Hah!
[Italian wedding music plays]
ric: Nikolas might not approve of you interfering in john and lulu's relationship. So you're sending me in to do your dirty work?
Claudia: Wow, hey. Now, why would i burn a bridge i might want to cross someday?
Ric: Would this be a personal bridge?
Claudia: Why do you care?
Ric: We made a deal. You know, i get john acquitted and you and i get to know each other a little bit better. I would just hate to see you waste so much of that energy on nikolas.
Claudia: Let me put it this way. You do this for me, you'll be building a bridge of your own.
Ric: Really? In what way?
Claudia: What benefits me, will benefit you. But you should probably hurry because johnny's halfway to shadybrook by now.
lulu: Hi. I'm sorry, i wasn't expecting you.
Carly: Oh, well, don't be so excited that i'm here.
Lulu: No, no, no, no. I will tell you who i was expecting if you promise not to lecture me.
Carly: Oh, God, i'm the last person who should be lecturing anyone. I made so many mistakes, ten times over. So, hey, if this is about johnny, i'm happy for you. Do i smell cookies?
Lulu: Yes, um, they're from your mom.
Carly: Oh, even better.
Lulu: I love johnny, i really do. And i know -- i know it's probably hard to believe, with all the back and forth that i was kind of going through.
Carly: Love's scary.
Lulu: Does it get any better?
Carly: Gosh, it leaves you vulnerable, you know? It does. All of a sudden, you have something to lose. And then when you do lose, you're devastated. Now i'm going to go on about that lecture i wasn't going to give you, i'm going to give you. If you have that with johnny, don't take it for granted. You need to hold on to it with both hands, and you don't let go.
Alexis: All right, so i'm taking -- i'm taking that you want an update on the divorce papers?
Jax: Oh, well, we can go over that later. In the meantime, i'm assuming you got an invitation to sonny and kate's wedding?
Alexis: Yes, i did. Well, kate's a friend, and i -- i care about sonny's best interests.
Jax: Yeah, well, it might get a little complicated for them because uh, carly's attending.
Alexis: Why is it that i'm not surprised?
Jax: I just wanted to warn you just in case kate needs a little extra emotional support.
Alexis: All right, well, i'm there for her, you know that.
Jax: Ok.
Alexis: Ok.
Diane: Alexis?
Alexis: Yes?
Diane: This is completely unacceptable. You have made a grave error, so just be forewarned that i intend to win.
Alexis: I knew it. I knew it. You are representing carly aren't you?
Diane: That is not why i am here.
Alexis: All right, listen, you save it for the judge, because in this particular case, carly's at fault.
Diane: Well, first of all, i can and will prove emotional neglect and serial abandonment on mr. Jack's part. No offense. But on a more pressing matter, this is about the wedding.
Kate: Oh, no, giselle, i completely understand. If the doctors want you to stay in the hospital until sunday, then that's exactly what you're going to do. Ok, feel better. Au revoir.
Sonny: Ok, so maxie had it right, kate.
Kate: Yes, giselle fell at the splendide in cannes. She had had a bottle of champagne, and you know those marble steps. They're treacherous.
Sonny: Ok, so giselle, what? She -- it's not an o -- a bad omen. She just tripped over something.
Mike: [Stammering] i don't know. I don't know, but my old man used to swear that it was ravens -- ravens who were bad luck in a churchyard.
Kate: What's that?
Minister: Oh, kate, sonny, welcome. Your father and i were just having a lively discussion about the superstitions surrounding crows and ravens. There appears to be one, or the other, in the bell tower of the church.
Mike: Definitely a raven.
Kate: Is that good or bad?
Sonny: Neither.
Right, mike?
Mike: Oh, sorry, no, no, no. Look, i know it's ridiculous. I'm -- i'm just a superstitious irishman.
Kate: There's nothing to be sorry about, mike. I think it's ravens. I think it's ravens that are a bad omen.
Sonny: Only if you're a worm.
Mike: You know, the more i think about it, it's probably a crow, uh, in the bell tower. Definitely, definitely --
kate: Yeah, you know with the bad luck that we've been having, mike, i --
sonny: Oh, ok, you know what? Crows, ravens, ducks, chickens don't -- can we just get on with this rehearsal?
Minister: Is there a problem?
Sonny: No, there's no --
kate: Yes, there's a problem. My maid of honor had an unfortunate incident, and she won't be able to make it. But i've actually asked my protege, clarice, to step in, so...
Sonny: So we're all set.
Maxie: Kate, oh, um, you're not going to believe this, but now something bad has happened to clarice.
Lucky: Ok, buddy, yeah, just start putting all your gear together. I -- i'm so excited. I'll see you in a couple of hours, all right? All right, i love you too. Bye.
Elizabeth: Bet you he can't wait, can he Lucky: Oh, he's so excited. I mean he is such a good brother. He's already put a list together of the things that we need to bring for jake.
Elizabeth: Oh, you boys are going to have fun. Lucky, yeah, well, you too, and also don't use up all that free time on double shifts.
Elizabeth: Sixth floor, nurses' station.
Jason: Hey, it's me.
Elizabeth: Oh, I was just thinking of you.
Jason: Can you take a break and meet me?
Elizabeth: Where?
Ric: Hey, lucky, i'm glad i caught you.
Lucky: We have nothing to discuss --
ric: Hey, listen, i know -- i know it's hard --
lucky: From what i understand, you did everything you could to make lulu fall apart.
Ric: Look, i had to discredit her testimony.
Lucky: What? So a scum like johnny could walk?
Ric: I know that lulu was hurt. I don't want to see that happen again, which is why i wanted to tell you that johnny zacchara is planning on seeing her today at shadybrook.
Carly: I'm sorry.
Lulu: Are you ok?
Carly: Oh, mm... Jax and i broke up, and he's filing for divorce.
Lulu: Oh, my God. What happened?
Carly: I, uh -- back in may, i slept with sonny. I don't want to get into the details but, um, and i made it worse by trying to cover it up.
Lulu: I mean, he won't forgive you?
Carly: Not this time. You know, i hurt him really bad. We're over, for good. The only thing i can do is, um, learn from my mistakes and try to move on.
Lulu: Every time that i saw you guys together, you guys were so happy and --
carly: We were. We were really happy. But i never put jax first. Every time i needed something, i needed help, or i needed a friend to confide in, i ran to sonny or jason. I didn't even think at all how jax would feel.
Lulu: Um, i just thought that you and jax would last forever. Oh, my gosh.
Carly: I messed up. Bad. But i can't be paralyzed from it. I have to, you know, i have to suck it up, and i have to move on. So do you.
Lulu: Yeah, well, me -- i'm trying. I mean, this whole thing with logan made me realize i have to be honest with myself and everybody else.
Carly: Wow. You're already smarter than i was.
Diane: You might want to leave. This is going to get ugly.
Alexis: What could get uglier than his divorce?
Diane: My dress for the wedding.
Alexis: Well, i'm sorry you don't like your dress. Why don't you pick out one you really like --
diane: You ordered the exact same dress from the hotel boutique. And i have first dibs.
Alexis: You most assuredly do not.
Diane: I ordered mine first, and prior claim takes precedent in any case --
jax: I'm sorry, is this -- this is about a dress?
Alexis: Yes.
Diane: Alexis, there are dozens of other beautiful dresses and evening ensembles in that hotel boutique. So choose one that isn't mine.
Alexis: I didn't like anything else in the ensemble. If you think they're so attractive, you pick one --
diane: Don't be petulant.
Alexis: I'm not being petulant. You're being petulant. You're the one who stormed in --
diane: I'm trying to be reasonable. All right, fine. Let's resort to some mediation. Alexis, you're my very, very dear friend, and i do not want this argument to escalate further. So, let us try and find some comparable middle ground.
Alexis: I suppose i could pick another one.
Diane: And so could i. After all, i am the bigger woman. Got to rephrase that.
Alexis: It really is a beautiful dress.
Diane: That, it is. And knowing the both of us, we will both agree to let the other one have their way. We'll pretend, and then both of us will show up wearing the exact same dress.
Alexis: We'll look like the olsen twins.
Diane: Ew. It'll be a disaster on the scale of the litigator of the year award banquet.
Alexis: I hope it's not an omen. Remember how that night turned out?
Kate: Now, clarice, clarice, it is all right.Just stay at home until the food poisoning passes. Ok, feel better, clarice. Well, two down and no one to go.
Maxie: Actually, i came prepared. I have alexis davis and diane miller's phone numbers on speed-dial.
Kate: Maxie, i cannot ask one without offending the other. And i have no family to ask.
Sonny: Ok, can we just let this rest? Things got a way of working themselves out.
Kate: No, sonny, i cannot let it rest because it's going to leave a gaping hole in the middle of the ceremony. Not to mention the fact that we have crows or ravens or whatever the hell is flying around the bell tower.
Maxie, you -- you are going to be my maid of honor.
Maxie: Don't you want to think about --
kate: No, i do not want to think about it. Just say yes, so that we can get on with it.
Maxie: I would really like to.
Kate: Thank you very much, maxie. Ok, we can go.
Minister: Good. Third time's a charm.
Mike: Or three strikes and you're out.
Kate: Ok, so, rehearsal flowers.
Sonny: What's wrong?
Kate: They're funeral flowers. That is it. I cannot go through with this wedding
Elizabeth: I was really surprised to get your call. Are you ok?
Jason: Yeah, things are -- things are good. You know, business is actually running pretty smoothly, so I don't have to be at the office every -- every minute. How about you?
Elizabeth: Well -- I mean, I'm fine, I -- I guess. Lucky's taking Cameron and Jake to the mountains this week. Why did you ask to see me?
Jason: I just, uh -- I just wanted to tell you that I'm thinking of taking some time off.
Elizabeth: Oh, so you're going to be gone for a while?
Jason: Yeah, I'm going to Italy.
Elizabeth: Oh.
Jason: And I was hoping that you'd come with me.
Lulu: Uh, i thought we already had session today.
Lainey: This is about johnny. I know you're expecting him.
Lulu: How?
Lainey: We try to ensure that our visitors just don't wander in and out as they please. It's for everyone's protection.
Lulu: Well, you make it sound like i'm in jail.
Lainey: You're in a clinical facility. There are guidelines set forth by your doctors to facilitate your care and your hopeful release.
Lulu: Hopeful release?
Lainey: It is my honest and professional opinion that further contact with john zacchara would be harmful to your recovery.
Lulu: What if i think that you're wrong?
Johnny: Whoa.
Lucky: You stay the hell away from my sister.
Ric: My dubious mission is completed.
Claudia: Did lucky take the bait?
Ric: Oh, i told him that johnny was on his way to see lulu. He, uh -- he bit. I'd venture to say that the young lovers have been parted by now.
Claudia: And you didn't mention my name?
Ric: No, i was the soul of discretion. As far as lucky is concerned, you had absolutely nothing to do with it. You happy?
Claudia: Oh, i'm -- i'm grateful. Ah, ha.
[Laughing]
ric: There's that word again. I haven't forgotten that you and i had a deal that we made.
Claudia: Mm-hmm. Ok. How about if i start showing you right now just how grateful i am?
Ric: Right here in your dad's living room?
Claudia: I'm offering myself to you.
Ric: Oh, really?
Claudia: As your date to kate and sonny's wedding.
Kate: I know -- i know i'm overreacting. It's just -- there are so many things and they're all coming together. It's like this big wedding monster out to destroy us.
Sonny: There's no such thing as a wedding monster.
Kate: Really? Are you sure? Really?
Sonny, you have to admit that all of these things are more than a coincidence.
Sonny: No, what was more than a coincidence is when you drove your car past my office that night and stopped in. And we saw each other again.
Kate: Yeah, ok, that's true.
Sonny: We cannot let anything stop us now. Look at what we've accomplished in our lives. We decided to move mountains. We've moved them. We are stronger than omens, food poisoning, or any ravens in the bell tower.
Kate: But the flowers.
Sonny: The flowers. We love each other, right?
Sonny: And what we want more than anything is to get married. And that's what we're going to do. Come tomorrow, we're going to stand at that altar before God, and we're going to say we're going to honor each other and love each other for the rest of our lives.
Kate: I can't wait.
Sonny: Now, can we get on with the rehearsal before we make fools out of ourselves? Come on.
Kate: Hey.
Kate: I love you.
Sonny: I love you.
Kate: Maxie!
Maxie: Coming. Ok, here.
Kate: Thank you.
Maxie: I hope they're ok. I got them from the garden outside.
Kate: Maxie, they're beautiful. You first.
Maxie: Oh, right.
Olivia: Hey, checking in.
Marty: Do you have a reservation? Olivia: Yes, i do. Made by mr. Sonny corinthos.
Sep 25, 2008 04:57
Elizabeth: Sorry. I've been working an awful lotof overtime, and this whole back-and-forth thing between us is making me crazy, so i just want to make sure -- did you just ask me to go to italy with you?
Jason: Yeah. It's -- it's this place where there's five villages in the middle of a national park, sort of on the edge of a cliff. I've never even heard of it. I've never -- i've never been there, and i was thinking that we could see it for the first time together. I have the tickets, so will you go with me?
Lainey: As your doctor, it is my responsibility to help you get better and to be honest with you. I don't mean to upset you, and i'm not trying to control your life, but it is my professional opinion that seeing johnny zacchara at this point is a bad idea.
Johnny: Lulu wants to see me. She called me.
Lucky: No, she isn't thinking clearly right now.
Johnny: I'm trying to help. That's it.
Lucky: How many times do you have to hear this? If you really want to help my little sister, then you stay the hell out of her life.
Kate: Ok, so at this point, i give the bouquet to the maid of honor, and then you begin.
Sonny: Should you even need rehearsal, because it seems like you have it down pat, perfect.
Kate: Yeah, we have ravens circling the bell tower. We have funeral flowers for practice and maid of honors dropping like flies. You could humor me.
Minister: That said, which names would you like to use for your vows?
Kate: What do you mean, which names?
Olivia: Falconeri, olivia. You got it there?
Marty: Yes, here we are.
Olivia: Great.
Marty: Welcome to the metro court.
Olivia: Thank you very much. Here is my credit card.
Marty: Thank you, ms. Falconeri, but we won't need a credit card. Sonny corinthos will be covering all of your charges.
Olivia: Even the mini-bar?
Marty: We are delighted to have you here with us, ms. Falconeri. Room 1205.
Olivia: All right, thank you.
Marty: And i will have someone help you with your bags.
Carly: I'm sorry. I couldn't help overhearing that sonny corinthos is picking up your tab.
Olivia: Who wants to know?
Carly: His ex, four times.
Olivia: Ha, you get hazard pay for that?
Carly: Well, we're divorced now. I'm carly corinthos jax.
Olivia: Olivia falconeri.
Carly: I'm trying to remember when sonny mentioned an olivia falconeri.
Olivia: Nice try. You're trying to get me to tell you the connection.
Elizabeth: I don't understand. One minute you don't want to be seen with me, and the next you want to wisk me away to some cliff above the Mediterranean?
Jason: I knew i should have asked you before i bought the tickets, but I didn't want to --
Elizabeth: No, no, wait, wait.I'm not saying no. I just need a little time to process this, because believe me, Jason, if you want to take me to Italy, then we're going.
Lucky: My little sister's a lot sicker than you think.
Johnny: What happened?
Lucky: She started hallucinating. She started having conversations with our mother every day for weeks. That's how sick my little sister is.
Lulu: Johnny risked his life to bring me here. All he has ever done from the start is try to help me.
Lainey: Take a second and consider your life since you met john, and try to see past your anger at me and at lucky.
Lulu: Well, it's really hard to when you're never listening to me.
Lainey: Can you honestly say that you have a better life with johnny than you had before you met him?
Carly: So, where are you from?
Olivia: Please, with this accent.
Carly: Bensonhurst.
Olivia: Lived there my whole life. Probably always will.
Carly: You must know lois cerullo.
Olivia: Oh, yeah, forever. We're so proud of her and brookie. Man, they are tearing it up out there in l.A. But they always go and visit gloria -- that's lois's mother -- every time they're in the city. So four times you married
sonny, huh?
Carly: Yeah.
Olivia: You always have that much trouble making up your mind?
Carly: Well, i've made it up for good this time. We're over.
Olivia: Ok. You mentioned two sons and a daughter?
Carly: Yeah, the boys are ours.
Olivia: Nice.
Carly: You guys been in contact this whole time?
Olivia: No, no, no, i haven't seen sonny or talked to him in almost 20 years. He contacted ms. Cerullo, wondered how he could reach me, so --
carly: Hmm, that's strange. He never invited anyone from bensonhurst to any of our weddings.
Olivia: Well, you know, i think i'm supposed to be some kind of big surprise, you know, for my cousin, do something nice.
Carly: Your cousin?
Olivia: The bride, of course.
Carly: Kate howard is your cousin?
Kate: Sorry, i'm just a little on edge.
Minister: I've seen worse. I promise you. I just need to know how you'd like to be addressed when you take your vows. Katherine and michael?
Sonny: No, not michael.
Minister: Kate and sonny?
Sonny: What do you think?
Minister: Katherine and sonny?
Kate: Uh, kate and sonny.
Sonny: Kate and sonny. That's good, yeah.
Minister: Ok, and i'll greet the congregation, and if there's anything in particular you'd like me to say or not say, please let me know by tonight. Then we'll have the musical selection. Then i'll lead you through the vows based on the book of common prayers we discussed. And let's see -- we're leaving out the part where the bride is given away, and we're -- we've also agreed to omit the word obey.
Kate: That's correct.
Minister: Shall we give the congregation an opportunity to make comments?
Sonny: You mean, speak now or forever hold your peace type of thing?
Minister: Yes.
Minister: It's sometimes part of the ceremony, sometimes not. It's up to you.
Kate: Oh, i don't know. I think we should leave it in. It's tradition, and after all, who's going to object?
Claudia: So, what is better for a wedding, do you think? I mean, up? Or should i go down?
Ric: Why do you even want to go to the wedding, huh? I mean, you don't know half the people there.
Claudia: You are dying to take me, first of all, and just think about it. Think about it. We're going to walk in together, and everyone's going to go, "oh, my God." They're all going to get really kind of concerned, and that'll be great.
Ric: Ok, look -- no, look. Kate invited me as a show of good faith, because she wants -- i don't know -- she wants me and sonny to be real brothers or something.
Claudia: Ok, but that's what you want, too, right?
Ric: Ok, so if -- if that's what i want, then why would i bring one of sonny's former one-night stands to his wedding?
Claudia: To spice it up a bit, right? You like it spicy.
Ric: Time, time, time, time. What's in it for me, claudia?
Claudia: Do you really want to go to the social event of the year without a date, or were you planning on bringing miss harvard law.
Ric: Oh, that's right. I guess, you know, claire is in the hamptons.
Claudia: Oh, good, so take me. Take me.
Ric: You're good at that.
Claudia: You have no idea all the things i'm really good at. But this, you know, you could just think of the wedding as,like, a preview.
Carly: Marty, can you get us some champagne? And curtis, can you take mrs. Falconeri's stuff upstairs?
Minister: If you would join hands, please. The vows traditionally begin with the husband, so you'll repeat after me. I, sonny, take thee, kate, to be my wedded wife.
Sonny: I, sonny, take thee, kate, to be my lawful wedded wife.
Minister: To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse.
Sonny: To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse.
Minister: For richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health.
Sonny: [Laughing] for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health.
Minister: To love and to cherish, forsaking all others.
Sonny: To love and to cherish, forsaking all others.
Minister: For as long as we both shall live.
Sonny: For as long as we both shall live.
Leyla: Ow.
Nikolas: What are you doing here?
Nadine: Working.
Nikolas: You're supposed to be back at wyndemere recuperating right now.
Nadine: I'm better.
Nikolas: So you left me a note?
Nadine: That was rude, i know. I'm sorry, especially since you were so wonderful to me, but i know if i told you face-to-face, you would have convinced me to stay longer, and i really can't use up my sick days when i'm not actually sick.
Nikolas: Nadine, i'm sorry. You were in a fire. You had smoke inhalation. A day or two more of rest -- it couldn't hurt
Nadine: Well, it's not like i was getting much rest wondering whether or not you were going to come into my bedroom in the middle of the night.
Elizabeth: Do you remember that globe I bought when you were hiding here in the studio? I wanted to go to Italy even then.
Jason: I remember.
Elizabeth: So what changed? You've spent the past two weeks trying to convince me that we shouldn't even see each other.
Jason: I know. Things are just so complicated here, you know, with my job, and being with me is a risk, whether you want to admit it or not. But I just -- I just started thinking about how nice it would be to disappear with you.
Elizabeth: It would be nice.
Jason: Nobody's going to know where we are. We -- we won't have to hide.
Elizabeth: So when do you want to go?
Jason: Soon. You know, things are ok. All I got to do is go to Sonny's wedding, and as soon as that reception starts, I will leave, and I will meet you at the airport.
Elizabeth: But Sonny's wedding is tomorrow. You want to go to Italy tomorrow?
Jason: Yeah, yeah. Is that ok?
Elizabeth: Yes, yes.
Ric: You know, sonny needs family at his wedding. If i show up with you, i think it's going to send, well, just not the right message of support to him. Don't you -- don't you think?
Claudia: Well, ok, fine, if you actually want to give up an opportunity to spend the entire evening with me because you think that, you know, your brother might see that as a sign that you are suddenly his real family, then by all means, don't let me stand in your way. Or are you just -- are you just trying to get me to work you harder?
Ric: Is that an option?
Claudia: What if -- what if the only reason i even want to go to this wedding is to upset kate?
Ric: Oh, thank you.
Claudia: You're welcome. And what if i can't help myself, i can't stop myself from flirting with sonny, and maybe he'll see me come walking in with you, and who knows what'll happen?
Ric: Yeah, look, i don't want to deliberately ruin my brother's wedding, ok?
Claudia: All right, well, think of it this way.
Ric: You're impossible, you know that? Thank you.
Claudia: You're welcome. What if we go in together, and sonny completely ignores me, and what if kate is her usual ice-cold self? I'm going to feel awful.I will be devastated.
Ric: Something tells me you've never been devastated by a man in your life.
Claudia: Ok, well, for the sake of pretend? I don't know. What if it all hits me at once, the trial and the fact that my brother is throwing his life away for lulu? The wedding? Don't you want to be there to pick up the pieces when i fall apart?
Minister: Those whom god hath brought together, let no man put asunder.
Kate: That goes for women, too.
Minister: By the power vested in me, et cetera, et cetera, i now pronounce you husband and wife. Do you want me to say "you may kiss the bride"?
Sonny: Uh, yeah. I'd like that a lot.
Minister: All right.
Kate: We'll do it.
Sonny: All right.
Minister: Ok, now you face the congregation, and i say, "i present you sonny and kate corinthos," and you walk out.
Kate: Oh, after maxie gives me the flowers.
Maxie: They're all yours.
Kate: Big finish, big applause.
Kate: What if no one applauds?
Sonny: No, everybody's going to applaud. Everybody's going to be happy, because we're happy. We're going to walk out of here with family and friends, and you know what? We're going to start a brand new life.
Maxie: I just hope nobody starts crying or screaming or the ceiling doesn't collapse or something.
Mike: The only thing that matters to me is that sonny is happy, and to tell you the truth, i never thought i would see him marry anyone with carly still in the picture.
Maxie: Maybe that's why carly's coming to the wedding, to prove to everyone that she's over sonny.
Mike: Carly's coming to the wedding?
Maxie: She rsvp'd.
Mike: Now i'm worried. Oops, sorry.
Sonny: [Laughing] no, no, hey, i'll see you.
Mike: I'll see you later.
Kate: Thank you, maxie.
Sonny: Ok, now.
Kate: Mm-hmm?
Sonny: We just got through the wedding rehearsal.
Sonny: The church didn't catch on fire.
Sonny: How do you feel about that?
Kate: I feel pretty good.
Sonny: You feel good?
Kate: Mm-hmm.
Sonny: And then after the wedding, we're going to vanish to the island, right?
Kate: Mm-hmm, and then straightto paris and french wine country.
Sonny: Ok, and then -- i tell you what. I'll make a call. We'll get a jet, and we'll skip all this, and we'll go straight to the island for a couple days.
kate: What? Nice try.
Sonny: All right, listen to me, all right? I'm going to settle things with the minister, and i'll see you at the dinner.
Kate: Ok. Oh, but wait. Can you come by and pick me up, because i want to change.
Sonny: Ok, i see. You can't wear the actual rehearsal dress to the rehearsal dinner.
Kate: Oh, he's learning. Ok, i'll see you.
Sonny: All right, bye.
Carly: So, i didn't know kate was italian on her mother's side.
Olivia: Sonny never asked me to lie about this, because he knows i wouldn't. I'm proud of who i am, proud of where i come from. I got no time to lie for someone who isn't.
Carly: Oh, kate's ashamed of where she comes from. That must be tough for you.
Olivia: Kate howard, as she calls herself, is really constanza louise falconeri, connie for short. We all grew up in bensonhurst, and her dad and my dad are brothers.
Carly: You guys all knew sonny.
Olivia: Everybody knew sonny. All the girls were in love with him, even little miss prim and proper connie.
Carly: So all this went on when you guys were in high school?
Olivia: Yeah, connie and i went to an all girls' catholic school, sacred heart.
Carly: Mm-hmm.
Olivia: Sonny went to the boys' school, and he was, you know, always getting in trouble, always getting suspended, and, you know, finally just dropped out.
Carly: You went out with him, didn't you?
Olivia: Well, it takes one to know one. Yeah, sonny and i spent some time together, yeah. But it was always -- it was always connie he wanted, the one he couldn't have.
Carly: Hmm, i bet he had her up on a pedestal and just worshipped her from afar.
Olivia: It wasn't that far. I mean, she did finally deign to go out with him, probably just to spite me, but --
carly: So, are you married now?
Olivia: No, never have been. Don't miss it, either.
Carly: Don't knock it until you try it.
Olivia: This from the woman who can't do it enough, at least with sonny.
Carly: You and your cousin are nothing alike.
Olivia: Well, connie, i mean, she was an only child. That girl was spoiled like you would not believe. You know, her parents did not even want her talking to sonny corinthos, but they would sneak away to coney island or some little place on 19th avenue, you know, like no one knew what they were doing. He wanted to marry her even then.
Carly: Man, i could never figure out how sonny could fall in love with a wasp from connecticut.
Olivia: [Laughing] connecticut. The closest connie falconeri ever got to connecticut was geography class with sister loyola, which she aced, because she aced everything. She was the class valedictorian, and she -- she wanted to get out, you know? Not everyone likes bensonhurst the way that i do.
Carly: So what happened between the two of them?
Olivia: Well, i don't really know all the details. One week they were going out. The next week they weren't, and sonny got deeper in with joe scully. Connie went off to princeton in the fall.
Carly: And she broke his heart?
Olivia: Well, she had a career to pursue. You know, somebody had to go touring around in all those limos, sipping champagne. So what she did -- she got a full scholarship to princeton. Room and board, books, everything. I remember the night that she went away, we had a big dinner for her, and everybody came out to say goodbye at the train station. There must have been 30, 35 people there. We all knew that she was going to make it big. You know, a lot of people from bensonhurst have. You know, she was going to make the falconeris proud. She got on that train, and she never looked back. She was registered at princeton as katherine hardwicke howard, and she never once invited her parents to visit her, not once.
Carly: If you're so mad at her, why are you here?
Olivia: She's family, and sonny invited me.
Carly: I see.
Olivia: It's going to be some wedding, huh?
Sep 25, 2008 04:59
Elizabeth: Ok, let me think about this, just for a second. I have a week of vacation that I either have to use or lose, so I don't think Epiphany's goingto mind such last-minute notice, and like I told you, Lucky's going to take the boys to the mountains this week.
Jason: Ok, you should -- you should tell Lucky you're going away with me.
Elizabeth: I will, just in case there's an emergency with the boys. But he's getting on with his life, and I'm getting on with mine.
Jason: Ok, I should leave, or I'm never going to leave you. I want you to meet me tomorrow at the airport, ok, right after the wedding, and you can just wait in the first class lounge for me.
Elizabeth: Ok, I'll be there.
Jason: All right.
Nikolas: Why would i want to show up at your room in the middle of the night, nadine?
Nadine: That -- that's not what i meant.
Nikolas: You were hoping that i'd just climb through the window and -- oh, wait, that was you at the police commissioner's home. I'm sorry.
Nadine: Be quiet.
Nikolas: If i don't know what you want, how can i give it to you?
Nadine: Ok, look, look. We are -- we are really busy. Obviously, we are swamped until epiphany gets back, right, leyla?
Leyla: Oh, i'm staying out of this one.
Nadine: Look, what i meant was that i know how worried you were about me, and i thought that maybe you might come in in the middle of the night and check to make sure that i was still breathing or something.
Nikolas: Right, yeah.
Nadine: Besides, why are you making such a big deal about this? What, you can't make it through the day without me?
Nadine: Well, i didn't expect you to just get up and leave this morning.
Nadine: Well, i have to get back to my real life, because i might have another clue.
Nikolas: Oh, don't -- don't. Is this about the drug ring thing again?
Nadine: It's just a hunch.
Nikolas: Can we go back to the part where i show up in your bedroom in the middle of the night? That was -- whatever it is, please don't do it.
Nikolas: It's going to get out. All right, all right, whatever. What's the clue?
Nadine: You're just going to laugh at me, and besides, it's probably nothing, so don't worry about it.
Nikolas: Too late now, right, leyla?
Nadine: It's just something that i thought of when i was lying awake at night in your castle.
Nikolas: Wyndemere is not a castle.
Nadine: Well, it's the closest thing that i have ever been to a castle, and those nights i spent there were the closest i've ever been to a prince, which was really not that close.
Nikolas: What is the hunch?
Nadine: You'll find out soon enough, maybe. But right now, i really have to get back to work. Thanks, leyla, and i'm sure that -- that you have to get back to whatever it is princes do all day.
Nikolas: I work.
Nadine: Really? Huh. Let me know when that happens. I would love to see that for myself.
Lucky: Lulu?
Lulu: You just made johnny leave, didn't you?
Lucky: I'm trying to help you.
Lulu: You have no right to keep johnny away from me.
Lucky: Will you just look at this at another point of view?
Lulu: You know what? If you're going to lecture me, you might as well leave.
Lucky: Nobody enjoys keeping you away from johnny.
Lulu: You and dr. Winters are wrong.
Lucky: Now, dr. Winters is very reasonable, and she has a great reputation. I agree with her, lulu. Your life started falling apart the first day you met that guy.
Lulu: Fine, when i met johnny some bad things happened, but again, johnny didn't cause any of them.
Lucky: Lulu, you are lying to yourself.
Sonny: You heard from max?
Milo: Yeah, he got to sicily ok.
Sonny: And?
Milo: He, um --
sonny: How's it going with your father?
Milo: Well, i'm glad i wasn't the first-born son.
Max has it pretty rough sometimes.
Sonny: Well, i can imagine. I mean, you know, maximus giambetti -- that's a legend, right?
Milo: Yeah.
Sonny: Ok, turn around.
Anthony: Please, there's no problem. Can you spare a minute for a crippled old man?
Kate: Ah.
Olivia: Hey, connie.
Kate: Olivia?
Olivia: Surprise.
kate: You look good.
Olivia: Well, you don't got to sound so surprised about it. Look at you. You look like, uh, one of those ladies who lunch at the carlyle.
Kate: Yeah, ok, thank you. Thanks. So, um, how did you find me?
Olivia: Sonny.
Kate: You're my surprise.
Olivia: Well, try to contain yourself.
Kate: No, no.
Olivia, no, i'm sorry. I didn't -- um -- i just -- it's been twenty years, and, um -- how did he find you?
Olivia: Well, it was bensonhurst, connie, it's not the other side of the moon. He called mr. Rollo, he asked how he could contact me, you know, and we met at frankie's.
Kate: Oh, right, frankie's. Wow. Is it still there?
Olivia: Oh, frankie's will be there forever. Listen, if you don't want me here, i'm on the next plane out.
Kate: No, no, no, no. No, no, no. I want you. I want you here, olivia. No, i'm just trying to process and --
olivia: I told sonny that you were going to hate this. But he has got this idea in his mind that you want your family around, so --
kate: I know, i know. It's just -- it's weird. Ok? Because i've been thinking a lot about you lately, and it's very strange.
Olivia: Well, this is a really great house you got here.
Olivia: Sonny's driver pulled up and i thought he had the wrong address. Sonny gave me my own driver and car, do you believe that?
Kate: Yeah. He likes to show off.
Olivia: And what, he lives in the fortress next door? As the driver pointed that out, too.
Kate: Uh-huh. It was a complete accident, olivia. No, really. I mean, none of this was supposed to happen. I wanted to spend some time outside of the city. This was supposed to be my weekend home. I never intended to live here full-time. I never intended to leave "couture." I wasn't planning to marry sonny.
Olivia: Well, you were always real good at getting what you wanted. I missed you, con.
Kate: I missed you too, olivia. More than you can imagine.
Claudia: But you'd be able to get the dress in time for the wedding? Oh, thank you so much. The whole wedding thing is sort of last-minute, and yeah -- no, i just really appreciate it. Got to go. Um, i take it that it didn't go so well, the visit with lulu?
Johnny: It didn't go at all.
Lucky spencer made sure of it.
Claudia: How did that happen?
Johnny: He was sitting there waiting for me outside lulu's door in the hallway when i got there. It took all i had not to beat the crap out of him on the spot. But i know the last thing i need is an assault on a police officer. I'm sorry.
Claudia: Hey, you got that right. You really do. You don't need that, john.
Johnny: I don't get it. I mean, why can't he just be a little more like nikolas? You know? I know nikolas hates me, too, but at least he respects what lulu wants and what lulu needs. I promised lulu that we would be together after the trial and i've been there, what, once?
Claudia: John, lulu needs time to get better.
Johnny: I know. I'm the one that took her there in the first place. And everybody's sitting here pointing the finger at me like i'm bad for her. Go ahead, say it.
Claudia: Well, what is there to say, johnny, except i really don't care about lulu one way or another except insomuch as it concerns you, and i know that it would kill you to watch her go crazy. Whether it's your fault for playing with fire or it comes from her own mother's dna.
Johnny: Why is it so impossible to believe that she might ge better?
Claudia: Johnny, i love you. I want you to have what you want, right? I just don't see how having lulu spencer in your life makes it any better. I mean, today's a perfect example of that. What would have happened if you would have hit lucky spencer? You'd be right back in lockup.
Johnny: I just wanted to see her.
Claudia: Even if her doctors ask you not to?
Johnny: Well, what if the doctors are wrong? What if everybody's wrong and lulu does need me? Then by staying away, i'm failing her.
Sonny: Whatever you have to say, i'm not interested.
Anthony: I owe you an apology. I was out of my mind with worry for my son when he escaped and i said some things to alexis davis regarding your daughter. Things i regret. It was a mistake. One that i won't make again. Now, i don't expect us to be friends, or even associates. But from one father to another, i wish you well.
Carly: Make sure ms. Falconeri gets a fruit basket and a bottle of our best champagne. Oh, and let's comp her any and all services at the spa.
Marty: I'll make sure she's taken care of.
Jax: Which guest is getting the royal treatment?
Carly: An old friend of sonny's in town for the wedding.
Jax: Oh, carly, i'm not interested in rolling out the red carpet for the mob.
Carly: It's not the mob. It's an old friend from bensonhurst. I met her this afternoon. She's really nice. I like her.
Jax: Then why should she get a free ride?
Carly: You have comped kate howard's snotty guests for the wedding almost anything they want. You're going to begrudge sonny's friend a fruit basket?
Jax: You're up to something.
Carly: Maybe. Maybe not. But the sooner you realize that my decisions here at the metro court are just as important as yours, we'll get along just fine. See you at the wedding. jax: I need to see everything we've got on this guest of sonny's.
Marty: Uh, she seems very nice. Very brooklyn.
Nikolas: Jax. I appreciate your willingness to meet with me on such short notice.
Jax: Oh, the meeting. That's right. Your assistant called my secretary.
Nikolas: Is it a bad time?
Jax: No, not at all. Please. Excuse me.
Nikolas: Would you be more comfortable meeting in your office?
Jax: I don't assume this will take very long, will it?
Nikolas: No, no, of course not. My attorneys e-mailed you over all the paperwork, but i wanted to discuss the situation with you in person.
Jax: Why, is there a problem?
Nikolas: No. But i would like to make a formal offer on the metro court.
Jax: You want to buy this place?
Nikolas: Yes.
Jax: Why?
Nikolas: Well, i'm expanding my local properties.
Jax: Well, the metro court's not for sale.
Nikolas: It's quite a generous offer.
Jax: Well, if you want to expand, i mean, there's plenty of commercial property you canbuy around here at a decent price.
Nikolas: But i want this property
jax: Why don't you try the cosmopolitan?
Nikolas: I don't want the cosmopolitan, i want the metro court.
Nikolas: Ok. You see, there's this incredible view from the front terrace on spoon island, it's --
jax: You want to buy the metro court because you can see it from your front porch?
[Speaking russian]
[phone rings]
johnny: Lulu.
Lulu: Are you coming here?
Johnny: I wanted to, but if seeing me is going to keep making you sicker --
lulu: It won't. You helped me get this far. Please, don't leave me now.
Johnny: But if the doctors keep telling me to stay away, i can't keep just showing up.
Lulu: You're wrong. The trial is over. You're free. You promised me we'd be together.
Johnny: We -- we will be.
Lulu: Promise me you'll see me tonight.
Johnny: I can't. It's past visiting hours. I'm --
lulu: Ok. Promise you'll see me tomorrow. Please. I need something to look forward to.
Johnny: I promise.
Kate: You still working at the car dealership?
Olivia: Yeah. I run the parts department, and vito runs sales.
Kate: Oh, really So does anyone know that you came to see me?
Olivia: Everybody knows, con. They tried to talk me out of it all the way to the airport.
Kate: The name is kate.
Olivia: Not to me.
Kate: Well, actually, my legal name is kate.
Olivia: A lot of people get out of bensonhurst without doing what you did. A lot of people stay there their whole lives and do just fine, thank you very much.
Kate: Um, olivia, i really do miss you. I miss the neighborhood. But, um, the girl i was then? She's gone.
Olivia: You know, we all grew up, connie. We all changed. Everything changed, not just you. Everything. Except sacred heart. Sacred heart's exactly the same, right down to the stupid uniforms and feasts.
Kate: Feasts? You mean the feast of santo rosalia?
Olivia: Yeah.
Kate: I haven't thought about that in a while.
Olivia: Yeah, you should see it now. All those lights. And they still got the best zeppole in the city.
Kate: I'll bet.
Olivia: Mm-hmm.
Kate: My parents used to take me to that every year. My father, he would never let go of my hand, and my mom would always buy me something special.
Olivia: You were all i had, con. You know what, you should do an article about the feast of santa rosalia in "crimson". I think that would be great. Just pictures of the lights and all the people and everything.That would be so pretty.
Kate: You read "crimson"?
Olivia: Well, i used to read "couture," too. It really went down after you left.
Kate: Oh, really? Wow.
Olivia: You did good, connie.
Kate: Olivia, can you please just do me a favor and call me kate at the wedding?
Sonny: How do you like the surprise?
Carly: You have to take me to sonny's wedding. I really want to be at sonny's wedding. I can't wait to be at sonny's wedding.
Jason: Why -- why are you so happy?
Carly: Well, you know, the wedding is a chance for me to prove to sonny and jax i don't need either one of them. I can stand on my own two feet. And i'd like to wish sonny well.
Jason: Ok, that's the same line you gave me yesterday. Exactly.
Carly: Yeah, well, i'm telling you the same thing today.
Jason: No, no. Something else is going on.
Carly: I want to get there early. I don't want to miss a second of this wedding.
Jason: No. You're all fired up for a reason. You have a plan.
Carly: We all have a plan.In one form or another.
Jason: Carly, just tell me what's going on?
Nadine: Oh, God, no! I got on the wrong ferry, obviously. And --
[man speaking russian]
nadine: Oh, um --
sasha: It's obvious to me that you need a translator.
Nadine: Boy, am i glad to see you.
Sasha: They don't understand a word you're saying. Although "spy" has the same meaning in any language.
Nikolas: Come on, jax, you have diversified interests. I'm sure you could do without this hotel.
Jax: But the metro court is not for sale. I mean, if you're serious about acquiring a hotel, why don't you build your own?
Nikolas: You haven't even heard my offer, which means your refusal is probably personal.
Jax: No, it means that the metro court's not for sale, and this conversation is over. I'm sorry.
Carly: Let's just say today i got a whole new insight into sonny and his bride-to-be.
Jason: Ok, i'm just going to say, if you're planning to sabotage the wedding, i'm not going to take you.
Carly: That's the beauty.I don't have to do anything. I just want to be there to see it happen.
Jason: See what happen?
Carly: Tomorrow, the great kate howard will get exactly what she deserves.
Anthony: So, ric tells me he's taking you to sonny's wedding?
Claudia: Well, he didn't ask your permission, did he?
Anthony: He's keeping me current, claudia. I expect you to do the same.
Claudia: Do you have a problem with me going to sonny and kate's wedding?
Anthony: I don't even know why you're bothering to go there.
Claudia: Because i want to see who shows up. I want to see who's in the room. I want to see and i want to be seen, you know?
Anthony: That's a good instinct. But don't keep ric too busy. I need him for other things.
Claudia: Like what?
Anthony: Well, it may be time to form an alliance with mr. Corinthos. To keep the power in the family, as it were.
Olivia: So i got to ask you, how long did it take for you to get used to calling her kate?
Sonny: Well, you know, that's how she introduced herself when we first saw each other again. She's definitely created this person who she wanted to be, you know? She's doing things that connie falconeri couldn't even think of.
Olivia: Connie falconeri could have done anything. She could have been anything.
Sonny: Kate doesn't think so. That's why i know she wants to reconnect with her past.
Olivia: It's a little bit late now.
Sonny: No, it's not. Look, i want to bring the family to her. You know, the old neighborhood.
Olivia: She's got to want it, too.
Sonny: If she had to do it all over again, i know she would do things differently.
Olivia: Who wouldn't? Wouldn't you? Given the opportunity to go back and do things different, wouldn't you?
Sonny: Are you ok with this? Are you weird with this? Because if you are, then just let me know, you know?
Olivia: I'm fine. Don't worry about me, ok? Vito said this was a terrible idea, but i said, what the hell? Anyway. You always could talk me into anything.
Kate: Well, i don't mean to rush you, but we can't be late for our own rehearsal dinner.
Sonny: Why don't you come with us?
Olivia: Oh, no. Thanks for asking.
Sonny: Well, it would be nice to have someone from the old neighborhood and you could maybe meet some guy there or something.
Olivia: I don't have anything to wear, no. I brought one nice suit for the wedding, but i can't wear the same thing both places. It would be a cardinal sin, right, kate?
Sonny: You know, speaking of the wedding, it's up to kate, but she doesn't have a maid of honor.
Olivia: You asking me?
Sonny: I'm not -- well, it's up to kate. I mean, you know.
Olivia: I -- no, i couldn't possibly.
Sonny: Well, here's what happened is two people, they backed out.I don't know exactly what happened, but her assistant stepped up, and it would be nice to have family. You guys would be --
kate: Yes, of course, family. It's just a little late notice.
Olivia: Well, i mean, can't-- can't one of your bridesmaids just step up? I mean, how big's the party?
Kate: Uh, it's pretty small.
Olivia: You don't have a friend that can help you out here, or what?
Kate: You know, sonny's right. I would actually really like to have family. Would you consider it?
Olivia: Sure.
Kate: I'll have the dress sent over tomorrow.
Sonny: Yeah, that means you have a dress for the wedding rehearsal, too, so if you want --
olivia: No, really. Guys, i'm not going to push my luck. Anyway, i could use the rest. I think we both got a big day tomorrow, right?
Sonny: You sure?
Olivia: I'm going to go back to the hotel, yeah.
Kate: Ok, so --
olivia: Bye.
Kate: Bye.
Sonny: All right, i'll see you tomorrow.
Olivia: See you.
Sonny: You ok with this?
Kate: Ah, it's a pretty big surprise.
Sonny: Yeah, but it's family and i know you miss family.
Kate: Yeah, yeah, but i've got all the family i need right here.
Sep 27, 2008 12:30
Claudia: Could you please page the woman that runs the boutique for me? My dress was supposed to be ready before the wedding.
Carly: You're going to sonny's wedding?
Claudia: I wouldn't miss it. You, too, huh?
Maxie: The alterations were supposed to be finished, and the dress was supposed to delivered to Maxie Jones at the Harbor View Towers. I am Ms. Howard's Maid of Honor. If i don't show up at that church wearing a couture, one-of-a-kind designed dress, specifically made for Ms. Howard's attendant, someone's going to be dead. What do you mean you don't have the dress? [Maxie stammers]
Olivia: Looking for this?
Maxie: I'm sorry. Who are you? And why are you wearing that dress?
Olivia: Maid of honor. And the bride's cousin. I'm Olivia Falconeri.
Kate: It is just perfect.
Wedding planner: Well, that's what you pay me for. Oh, no, no. Those won't do at all.
Kate: Actually, is there a card? Because it might be something my father-in-law sent, and I don't want to offend him.
Sonny: What are you doing?
[Door shuts]
Sonny: You're the last person I expected to see today.
Jason: I won't stay long, but we need to talk.
Diane: Oh, there you are. Look, I need a clutch to go with my dress, and I'm just a little bit desperate.
Boutique manager: I'll be right with you, Ms. Miller. Carly?
Carly: Yes.
Boutique manger: This one is yours.
Carly: Lori, that's cutting it close.
Lori: Ms. Zacchara, this one is yours.
Claudia: Mm. Thank you.
Carly: Well, I will see you at the wedding.
Claudia: Indeed.
Maxie: Kate mentioned her cousin Olivia once.
Olivia: Really? I guess I should honored my name came up at all.
Maxie: I'm just surprised she asked you to be her Maid of Honor at the last minute.
Olivia: Well, it was really Sonny that made the arrangements.
Maxie: Oh, that explains a lot.
Olivia: Such as?
Maxie: Well, why sonny didn't tell Kate you were coming. Sonny probably wanted to surprise her.
Olivia: Yeah, I keep hearing that. I'm thinking maybe I should have popped out of the cake or something.
Maxie: I'm sorry. I'm Maxie Jones, Kate's first assistant.
Olivia: Sorry to steal your thunder. It wasn't my idea.
Maxie: That's ok. I was a last minute substitute anyway. The dress looks great on you. Can I help you with anything?
Olivia: Well, I guess I'm supposed to be helping the bride get ready, so --
Maxie: Everything is already at the church. The dress, the accessories, the make-up, alternative choices. You know how Kate is if the lipstick isn't the exact shade.
Olivia: Won't this be fun. I guess I ought to get to the church.
Maxie: No, actually her stylist is probably starting her.
Olivia: Making the Maid of Honor pretty much irrelevant.
Maxie: Oh, no, the Maid of Honor is essential. It's the one person the bride can count on. Her closest friend or relative or the person who knows her the best.
Olivia: You got that part right. I definitely know the bride better than anyone.
Wedding planner: There is no Andrei Karpov on the guest list. Is he important?
Kate: No, he's just a man prone to large gestures, and we don't have to worry about offending his feelings. Why don't you just take those to General Hospital. Someone will enjoy them there.
Wedding planner: Ok. Let's go.
[Mike humming]
Mike: Hey. Is this -- is this what you're wearing?
Kate: No. No, this is the before-the-wedding dress.
Mike: Oh, I see, sort of like last night's rehearsal outfit Not to be confused with last night's rehearsal dinner outfit.
Kate: Mike, do you have any idea what a burden it is to be a fashion icon? Speaking of, look at you. Looking mighty dapper in your tux.
Mike: Well, all the way from Paris, and I can't thank you enough.
Kate: Oh, it was my pleasure.
Mike: You know, the tux is really the least of it. Thank you for loving my son. And for letting me be a little part of this.
Kate: Oh, mike, of course you're a part of it. You're sonny's father.
Mike: Yeah, but you worked so hard to build a bridge between us, and believe me, others have tried, but you actually succeeded. I will be eternally grateful.
Kate: You love each other too much to be estranged.
Mike: Yeah, but you have given him a new life. You have given him a reason to start over. And I wish you nothing but happiness. Now, ahem, can I hug the bride? Or is that going to wrinkle the before-the-wedding dress?
Kate: Oh, I don't care.
Jason: Just wanted you to know that Carly asked me to take her to your wedding.
Sonny: Ok, I don't want carly to make any trouble at the wedding.
Jason: That's why I'm going so I can stop her if she tries to do something crazy.
Sonny: You know her. Carly -- if she gets something in her mind -- I appreciate you trying, but it's just -- Kate wants Carly and Jax there, and I'm not going to try to, you know, talk her out of that.
Jason: Did you know Kate -- she came by my office, and she -- she invited me? I mean, it's really up to you. I mean, I can stay away.
Sonny: I was planning to ask you. I came to your office. Remember when I came to your office? You were with Diane, and so I couldn't really ask you.
Jason: Yeah. I guess Max and Diane had some kind of big fight.
Sonny: Yeah, he got drunk.
Jason: Max?
Sonny: Yeah. He told me all about it. [Sonny laughs] I don't know. Anyway, you know what? Ahem. I'm glad you'll be at the wedding.
Jason: I'm happy for you.
Sonny: Remember when you took over the business, and you said to me that I couldn't have a nice life?
Jason: I hope you can prove me wrong.
Lulu: Aren't there other patients you could be seeing?
Lainey: Lots of them. But this time is reserved for you. So let's talk about your mother.
Lulu: What about her?
Lainey: Why did you think you needed your mother so badly that you convinced yourself Laura had recovered?
Lulu: Well, I was going crazy, and she went crazy. I thought she could tell me how to handle it.
Lainey: I'm not the enemy, lulu. Don't you want to deal with the issues that caused your breakdown?
Lulu: Don't you get tired of asking so many questions? Look, it's not very complicated,
Dr. Winters. Logan died. Johnny was blamed and arrested and almost got the death penalty, but he didn't. t's over. And now that he's been proven innocent, I don't need to have conversations with my mom. All I need is Johnny.
Lainey: Is it fair to pin all of your hopes for recovery on one man?
Nikolas: Hey, do you mind paging Nadine?
Leyla: She didn't come in to work today.
Nikolas: Did she call in?
Leyla: No, which is very strange.
Nikolas: Yeah.
Leyla: It's not like nadine to blow off work like this.
Nikolas: Did you call her?
Nadine: No, i just assumed she was having dinner at wyndemere with you. I was kind of hoping that things had progressed between the two of you.
Nikolas: No, she didn't, and we haven't.
Leyla: Ok.
Nikolas: But you heard her the other night, rambling on about some clue that she wanted to follow. I assumed that it was harmless like when she broke into Matt Hunter's place, but i'm afraid that she may be in some realtrouble this time.
[Nadine grunting]
Nadine: You can't do this. Let go of me. You're going to be in so much trouble.
Sasha: And you are becoming a real problem.
Nadine: Look, you know what? Fine. Have the police arrest me for trespassing.
[Sasha laughs]
Sasha: That's one solution. Here's another one. We'll stage an accident and eliminate you permanently.
Nadine: That would be a huge mistake. There are people looking for me.
Alexis: Ok, I hope this is good.
Diane: It is a full-fledged disaster.
Alexis: All right. I don't want to be unkind, but it is possible that you're trying to distract me from getting ready because I know you're a little upset that I'm wearing the dress, but remember, you're the one who backed out.
Diane: Alexis!
Diane: I would never -- all right, I might do that, but in this case, I have not done that.
Alexis: What's --
Diane: Duplicate dresses pales in comparison to this crisis.
Alexis: What is going on?
Diane: Sonny's other women.
Alexis: Is this where I get offended?
Diane: No, you don't count. I mean, of course you count, but not in this sense.
Alexis: This doesn't make any sense. What are you babbling about?
Diane: Claudia Zacchara and Carly are both planning on attending the wedding.
Diane: Yes.
Alexis: That's like a hurricane and a tornado, hitting at the same time.
Diane: Skip the nature metaphors and focus on solutions.
Alexis: She would never invite those two harpies to her wedding. There must be some sort of mistake.
Diane: They just picked up their dresses.
Alexis: That is terrible. What are they wearing?
Diane: Garment bags. I didn't have a chance to see. I didn't see a damn thing. Regardless, for Kate's sake, we've got to stop them.
Alexis: What do you suggest we do? Not only are these two blatant manipulators, they both have a propensity for violence. And I for one don't feel like getting beat up in the back of an alley or having my hair ripped out of my head.
Diane: Well, we've got to do something, don't we?
Alexis: We'll stick close to her. We'll watch out for her just if hell breaks loose.
Diane: Maybe you didn't hear what I said. Carly and Claudia are both planning on attending. Hell on earth is assured.
Spinelli: Hi.
Maxie: Good. I need you to get on the computer.
Spinelli: Is it not time to make preparations for tonight's festivities?
Maxie: I just met a woman who said she's Kate's cousin. And seeing how she was in the middle of Kate's living room, wearing a one-of-a-kind designer original that's supposed to be Kate's maid of honor dress, I'm pretty sure she's not lying.
Spinelli: I'm sorry. I don't see the problem.
Maxie: This woman is from Bensonhurst, ok? Kate's supposed to be the queen of all Connecticut wasps. How could they possibly be related?
Spinelli: Perhaps it's some hitherto unrevealed connection? I don't --
Maxie: Stop speculating. Get on that computer and dig up whatever you can on Olivia Falconeri. And while you're at it, pull up Kate Howard's family tree.
Lainey: I question the wisdom of hanging your recovery on John Zacchara. His world is steeped in violence and dysfunction.
[Lulu laughs]
Lulu: I -- how can i take these sessions seriously when they are a replay of what everybody has been telling me? Lucky and the Quartermaines think that I can't trust my own judgment. I don't believe them, so why would I believe you?
Lainey: Because I'm your doctor. I have no investment in your romantic life. I just want to see you get better. And can you honestly tell me that you feel safe in John Zacchara's world?
Lulu: Johnny is not some irresponsible guy dragging me into danger. He proved that when he risked everything to get me help.
Lainey: That's right, Lulu. He risked prison to bring you here.
Lulu: Yes.
Lainey: And even he knows that you can't be fixed magically overnight. As much as you love John, he's not some prince who can just cure you with a kiss. You still have a long way to go.
Lulu: That's what I'm afraid of.
Lainey: Well, let's tackle that at our next session, ok?
Nikolas: Did Nadine say anything to you about who she suspected or what kind of investigation she was planning?
[Telephone rings]
Nikolas: Excuse me.
Nikolas: Hello?
Sasha: All right. We can't do anything this close to shore, and I don't want to hold up the shipment, so -
Sasha's voice: I'm just going to call Andrei and see if he has a preference on how he wants to handle this.
Sasha's voice: I'm assuming he just wants it over.
Nikolas: Who is this?
Nadine's voice: Well, if you're thinking of throwing me overboard, you should know that --
Nikolas: Nadine?
Nadine: I'm a very good swimmer.
Sasha: Damn it.
Leyla: Is she ok?
Nikolas: I don't know. It sounded like she was in the harbor. Did she say anything to you about a ship or --
Leyla: Oh, gosh, yeah. She said when she was staying at wyndemere, she could clearly see the harbor from the room she was staying in. Something about a ship that looked suspicious.
Nikolas: Did she mention a name?
Leyla: I want to say odyssey.
Lulu: Nice outfit.
Johnny: I'm still not sure I should be doing this.
Lulu: Oh, everybody says that you're bad for me, but this is the best medicine in the world.
Johnny: Just tell me the truth, ok? How are you feeling?
Lulu: At this moment, like anything is possible.
Johnny: Yeah. Good enough to get out of here?
Lulu: Yes. In a heartbeat. I don't want to be here anymore. I'll go wherever you want me to go.
Johnny: I'm not talking about running away again.
Lulu: What? So what, this is like a visit?
Johnny: No, it's more like a holiday. I intercepted this. I thought it might cheer you up.
Lulu: You want to break me out of Shadybrook to go to Sonny and Kate's wedding?
Johnny: Didn't I promise you I would take you? I don't break my promises. That is if you still want to go?
Lulu: I want to go.
Maxie: Constanza Louise Falconeri from Bensonhurst?
Spinelli: It appears irrefutable. Constanza Louise had her name legally changed to Katherine Hardwicke Howard at the age of 18.
Maxie: Kate's not some classy ice queen from Connecticut, she's just some Italian girl from Bensonhurst. She's a fraud, and I believed her. I bought her whole high and mighty act completely.
Spinelli: Ok, wait. Constanza Louise, now legally know as Katherine Hardwicke Howard, graduated from Princeton with honors and accepted an entry level position at "Couture" magazine. It appears her success is authentic, even if her name is not.
Maxie: She's just a big phony.
Spinelli: Ok, if the fraudulent Fashionista wanted to keep her former identity a secret, then why would she invite her cousin to the nuptials?
Maxie: Kate didn't. Sonny did. Oh, this is not going to be good.
Spinelli: Ok, Maximista appears to be overreacting somewhat. The fact that she was born with a different name doesn't -- doesn't change who she is. I mean, after all, the Jackal wasn't always the Jackal. And, you know, some people might find it admirable that Constanza Louise was able to remake herself into the Kate Howard she wanted to be.
Maxie: Yeah, of course Kate has a great sense of style, but she has no right to be an elitist snob. And once people get a good look at Olivia, she'll be outed as a fake and a social climber. That's going to be awful.
Spinelli: It's very generous for Maximista to be so concerned about the Fashionista's future.
Maxie: I mean awful for me. This cousin from Bensonhurst is going to make Kate look like a joke. She's going to crash and burn and take my fashion career with her.
Carly: Hey. Why do you look like you're going to a black tie root canal?
Jason: Are you sure you want to do this?
Carly: Well, it's worse if I stayed away and, you know, hid.
Jason: Ok, you're going to watch Sonny marry someone that you hate with Jax sitting in the next pew. How are you not going to have a meltdown?
Carly: I miss Jax more than you can imagine. I know it's my fault that our marriage crashed and burned, but it's worse if I crawl in a hole and die.
Jason: Ok. And what about Sonny?
Carly: Well, Sonny is in for a wake up call. He's going to see Kate for who she really is. Come on. Let's go.
Diane: Good. As Jason's attorney, I have to advise you that -- fantastic dress.
Carly: Thanks. You, too. I love that.
Diane: And I love your hair.
Carly: Oh, look at the back.
Diane: Oh. You cannot do this. This is worse than wrong. This is cruel.
Jason: What is?
Diane: Escorting Sonny's ex-wife, especially this ex-wife, to his wedding.
Carly: We're not crashing. I was invited.
Diane: Proof positive that the wedding planner was either incompetent or delusional.
Jason: Ok, Diane, Sonny --
Diane: Jason, let us be realistic. Sonny and Carly are like gasoline and dynamite. You put the two of them in close proximity, there is bound to be an explosion.
Carly: It's not my fault I'm more exciting than the bride.
Diane: And I rest my case.
Jason: Carly is not going to do anything. Are you, Carly?
Carly: I can promise you I will not be the one to ruin Sonny and Kate's wedding.
Robin: Hi.
Robin: Wow, you look so handsome.
Sonny: Yeah, well, no one's going to notice, you know. All everybody cares about is the bride.
Robin: Oh, please. I always check out the groom. How are you feeling?
Sonny: Feeling like I want this day to be, you know, over. Get my life going with Kate. That's what I want.
Robin: You know, I have to say I never imaged you with someone like Kate Howard, you know, she's very, uh --
Sonny: Classy.
Robin: Yes, but I was going to say more independent, you know, like she's not the type of woman that's going to center her life around you. Are you ok with that?
Sonny: Yeah, I'm ok with that.
Robin: Ok.
Sonny: I love her. I respect her. Are you going to get ready?
Robin: I'm so sorry.
Robin: That's why I'm here. I have to go to an emergency consult, and I won't be able to come to the wedding. And I'm so sorry.
Sonny: Are you serious?
Robin: I'm so sorry. I had just enough time to come and wish you love and luck and all that stuff.
Sonny: Oh. I'm very proud of you. So when are you going to, you know --
robin: What?
Sonny: I mean, are you going to keep working?
Robin: Oh, I'll keep working until she tells me to stop.
Sonny: She?
Robin: Yes, we're having a girl.
Sonny: What? What? Fantastic. A girl.
Robin: Yeah. You know, I think all stone wanted for the both of us was to live a life of love and purpose. He wouldn't be disappointed. I think we both finally found what makes us happy.
Olivia: Are you ready to rock and roll?
Kate: Yes, I am. Wow! The dress looks great on you. Maybe I psychically knew you would be my Maid of Honor after all.
Olivia: Well, 25 years later, we go back to what we originally planned, right?
Kate: I'm glad you're here.
Olivia: Me, too. I missed you, Con.
Kate: You have to know I didn't mean to hurt anyone. I had my own dream, and I followed it the only way I knew. I made a clean break.
Olivia: Well, did you get everything you wanted?
Kate: Finally. Yes.
Olivia: Then I am happy for you. And I know mom and dad and Nonna are smiling down on you, too.
Kate: I can't believe you brought it.
Olivia: It's a family tradition. You're still a Falconeri girl after all.
Kate: It doesn't go with my dress..
Mike: Hey. You're looking good.
Sep 27, 2008 12:31
Sonny: Thanks.
Mike: Any nerves?
Sonny: Uh, I was at home. I was looking at pictures of my kids, and I saw a picture of Michael. And for a second, I thought, you know, is it wrong? To be this happy after what happened to my son? But I know Michael would want this for me. We should all be happy for our parents. I want that for you, Mike.
Mike: You know, a lot of water is floating under a lot of bridges for you and I to get to this point.
Sonny: I guess, sometimes you have to be a dad to recognize how imperfect fathers can be. I'm really glad you're standing up for me.
Mike: And I'm really glad you asked.
Sonny: Ooh, boy.
Olivia: All the Falconeri brides wear Nonna's necklace.
Kate: Yes, it's a lovely tradition. And if I had the slightest inkling that you or the necklace would have been here, I could have designed my entire gown around it. Maha Chang designed this dress, especially for me. And the necklace definitely clashes with it.
Olivia: So, let it clash. Connie, it's a family heirloom.
Kate: It's very naive of you.
Olivia: Connie, it's a freaking dress.
Kate: Yeah, well, see, the fact that you say that just proves that you would never understand any of the choices that I've made.
Olivia: I understand that you're spitting on our grandmother's grave.
Kate: Oh, that's lovely. That's lovely. Just go ahead and attack me, that's another Falconeri tradition.
Olivia: You know what, I don't know why I expected this to be any different. Because this is classic, classic Connie. You're going to pick a stupid dress over your own family.
Kate: That stupid dress symbolizes everything that I've accomplished. It's not like a woman like you would understand that.
Olivia: Like me? Like me. You have no idea who I am.
Kate: Yeah, exactly. Exactly. And you have no idea who I am. I don't buy my dresses at the mall, Olivia. I call my friends and have them specifically design a dress especially for me. That is my life now. That is the life that I made for myself, and I am not going to apologize for it.
Olivia: How can you stand to be so selfish?
Kate: It's my wedding day. I am the bride. I get to be selfish, and I can wear whatever dress I want.
Olivia: You know what? You're right. And I'm sure it's going to be fabulous. And beautiful and cold and hallow without a soul. Just like you.
Maxie: Spinelli, we're going to be late. I was having a bad hair day.
Spinelli: The Jackal finds that concept -- your hair looks pretty.
Maxie: It's all product, and some feathers. Anyway, I was thinking, maybe Kate came to her senses and sent Olivia back to Bensonhurst where she belongs. Or she didn't. God, I really don't want Kate to be exposed and humiliated at her own wedding. I need you.
Spinelli: You do?
Maxie: Yeah. I need you to help me fix this Olivia problem.
Spinelli: Oh, yeah. I'm sorry, I apologize, I was just dazzled by the sheer beauty that stands before me.
Maxie: Oh. Do you like it? Federico made it for me. Isn't he a genius? I can't wait for you to meet him.
Spinelli: Oh, is this Federico going to be in attendance this evening?
Maxie: Of course not, silly. If he were in town, he'd be my date. But as soon as he realized he couldn't make it, he sent me this. The fashion gods have blessed me once again. Kind of makes me happy i'm not a maid of honor. I mean, the dress is really pretty but it's not really my cup -- Spinelli, you can't let me get distracted. We have to take care of Olivia before she outs Kate Howard as Connie from the block.
Spinelli: Maybe the glacial one is just intending to pass this Olivia off as a poor relative.
Maxie: I met Olivia. Trust me. She's not about to be passed off as anything.
Spinelli: Well, then, maybe the future Mrs. Sir is ready to embrace her authentic self.
Maxie: That's fine for Kate, because she's in love with Sonny. But what about me? Oh, I know, why don't you have Jason get two of his thugs throw Olivia in the back of a limo, and drive her off to bensonhurst before it's too late?
Spinelli: I don't think Stone Cold would lend his protectors of the night to a plot to kidnap Mr. Sir's wife's cousin.
Maxie: Ok, well we're going to be on damage control the entire night. We have to stick with Olivia and make sure that she doesn't tell anyone that Kate Howard is really cousin Connie from Brooklyn.
Nadine: You have to let me go. Anything else is going to put you right in the middle of a police investigation.
Sasha: You're bluffing. And not very well. The sad fact is, no one's missed you. And absolutely no one will connect your unfortunate accident with me.
Nadine: You couldn't be more wrong. There are tons of people who know that I have been investigating you and your counterfeit drug operation.
Sasha: Oh, yeah? Name one.
Nadine: Well, if I told you, you'd have to kill me.
Sasha: I'm going to kill you anyway. Any cooperation from you will simply make your death less painful.
Nikolas: Not as much fun when the threat's on you, is it?
Nikolas: Order your men to let her go.
Sasha: Look, I don't know who you are, but you are making a big mistake --
Nikolas: I didn't ask for your opinion.
[Sasha speaking russian]
[Nikolas speaking russian]
Nadine: How did you find me?
Nikolas: You said the ship was the Odyssey. It's the odessa.
Sasha: How do you expect to get away?
Nikolas: That's not your problem. You're going to let us go because the harbor patrol will be here any minute. Jump. I'm right behind you. Go, go.
[Water splashes]
[water splashes]
Maxie: Hi, Sonny, so I heard you invited Kate's cousin.
Sonny: Yeah, I did.
Maxie: Is Kate ok?
Sonny: Yeah, last time I checked she was fine.
Maxie: Ok. I just have a really bad feeling.
Sonny: Do me a favor. For me and Kate, keep that to yourself.
Spinelli: Congratulations, Mr. Sir. The Jackal is honored to be invited to attend the nuptials of such a prestigious mobster.
Sonny: Right. Spinelli, listen, come here. I know that i've been kind of rough on you in the past. A little bit, right? And I just want to say that you're not that bad of a guy, and I'm kind of glad that you came.
Spinelli: You know, beneath the dark and dangerous exterior, it is clear that you would never -- well, you know, kill anyone that didn't need -- deserved to be killed --
Sonny: Great, you can go ahead and go.
Spinelli: And many people do, but I don't.
Ric: Sonny.
Ric: Congratulations.
Ric: It's a nice night for a wedding.
Sonny: Yeah, we planned it that way.
Sonny: Interesting choice of companion you got there. Hi, Claudia.
Claudia: Hi. Congratulations on your wedding. I hope you won't die of boredom.
Sonny: Oh, you know it's better han getting stabbed in the back. Kate is going to be happy that you came because she has this sweet notion that you and I can reconnect as family.
Ric: Well, Kate deserves happiness. Hope you can give it to her. Shall we?
Sonny: Hi. Thanks for coming, man.
Bernie: My deepest respect and good wishes for your happiness on your wedding day,
Mr. Corinthos.
Lulu: Are you sure this dress is not upside down?
Johnny: You look fine. Actually, you look beautiful.
Lulu. Thank you. Thank you for buying it for me.
Johnny: Yeah, well, you look good for someone who got ready in the car.
Lulu: Oh. So do you.
Claudia: This is not -- this is not good. What is --
Ric: Oh. Did you honestly think that they were going to stay away from each other? Come on.
Sonny: Wh -- I wasn't expecting you.
Lulu: Yeah, I wasn't sure if Shadybrook was going to let me out.
Sonny: It's amazing. They gave you a day pass, right?
Lulu: Yeah, I never said how much I loved when you came to visit me that day.
Sonny: I just -- you know what? I just wanted to make sure that you were ok.
Lulu: I am. I am.
Sonny: You are?
Lulu: And now I have somebody that I can count on, so --
Sonny: I know the feeling. You guys have a good time.
Lulu: Thanks.
Sonny: Oh, boy.
Diane: Sonny?
Diane: Just a moment of your time.
Diane: You do realize that at least one of your old flames is going to show up at this wedding.
Sonny: Yeah, you don't have to worry, Diane. Because, see, Kate knows all about that, and she loves me in spite of all that, so --
Diane: All right, well if someone combusts, don't say I didn't warn you.
Sonny: It's fine. Hey, how are you doing?
Alexis: I'm really, really happy for you. And I wish you and Kate all the best.
Alexis: And on that note, I'm going to warn you about two of your wedding guests, ok? And if one or both of them should cause any trouble or become dramatic in any way, you are to ignore them and focus on the bride.
Sonny: You know what the great thing about right now is? There's not going to be any dramatics.
Diane: Oh, ok, well, I wouldn't be too sure about that. Incoming, 9:00. Ahem.
Carly: Jason told you he was bringing me.
Sonny: Yeah, yeah, he told me.
Carly: You had the grace enough to come to my wedding, and wish me well, so Iwant to do the same.
Sonny: I meant what I said.
Carly: So do I. Kate may be a shallow, you know, ice queen, but she makes you happy, and that's all that matters.
Sonny: You're never going to change.
Carly: No.
Carly: You look handsome.
Kate: If you can't wish me well, then I don't want you here.
Olivia: You know what, I'm the only flippin' bridesmaid you've got. Because all the other ones bailed. What a shock.
Kate: Well, I don't need an attendant.
Olivia: Hey, I get it. You don't need me, ok? Because you pay someone to bring you your shoes, and you pay someone to zip up your dress. And you surround yourself with all these friends-for-hire and they have to put up with all your obnoxious crap, or else you'll just fire them. But you can't fire me. Because I'm your family. And I know you a hell of a lot better than all of those other people, Connie.
Kate: I was Connie for 18 years, that is less than half of my life.So what is all this, huh? What are you, jealous?
Olivia: You got nothing I want.
Kate: Oh, really? Huh? For all your home girl pretensions, you are so pissed that I got out. That I am famous, that I am successful. And after all of these years, I got Sonny.
Olivia's voice: Famous for what? For being a bitch?
Kate's voice: Oh, see, see? You are always a tramp. Always were.
Olivia's voice: Look at you, you're supposed to be a blushing bride, and you're standing there with a pole up your butt.
Kate's voice: Oh, that's charming. That is so charming, do you have any idea how embarrassing you are?
Olivia's voice: To who? To you? Do you think I care?
Kate's voice: You are so jealous because you never had the guts to get out of the tiny little narrow neighborhood you were born in.
Olivia's voice: I didn't have to run away to like myself. And you know what the pathetic thing is? All the running and all the lies and you still don't like yourself.
Kate's voice:: Why don't you just admit it? Admit it, you want to ruin my wedding.
Olivia: You couldn't find someone to pretend to be your friend. Sonny had to go all the way to Bensonhurst to find one person who would stand up for you.
Kate: That is not true. Giselle threw her back out, and Clarice ate some bad shellfish.
Olivia: Ok, you keep believing that.
Kate: Hey, I want you to leave, now.
Olivia: Yeah? Well, I promised Sonny I'd do this. And I don't welch out on my promises.
Kate: You're not even here for the wedding. You're here because it's your last chance with Sonny.
Olivia: Oh, you know what? I stopped caring what sonny thought the day he went after you.
Kate: Really?
Olivia: Because that's when I knew he was about as shallow as a mud puddle, and about as loyal as an alley cat.
Kate: Well, if that were true, then he would have gone after a slut like you.
Olivia: Oh, nice mouth in a church. They teach you that up in Princeton?
Kate: You know, could you just muster enough class to leave the building?
Olivia: What a nice world you live in. It's just shiny, happy people, bowing at your feet. Basking in the glory that is Kate Howard. I feel sorry for Sonny. He's not going to know what hit him.
Kate: Hey, guess what? Sonny loves me, ok? We're getting married. We love each other. And you don't get to ruin it, Olivia. You don't get to diminish my feelings. I care deeply.
Olivia: Then show me. Show me that there's more going on here than your massive ego. Show me that family means something to you. Wear the necklace.
Kate: Nonna was so awful to me, Olivia, when I left home. I want you to tell me, hmm? Why should I honor her traditions? Why? Why should I try to please her, after all of these years?
Olivia: To prove that you are something more than a superficial poser, honey. For once, just for once, stand up and take some pride in who you really are.
Kate: I am Katherine Hardwicke Howard. And the necklace doesn't go with my dress.
Olivia: Then I'll wear it myself. Coward.

Sonny: Jason.Jason, where are you? You got to come here now!
Jason: The shot came over from the choir loft.Can you show him where it is?
Mike: All right, all right.We need an ambulance now.There's been a shooting atst. Timothy's church.Now!
[Olivia sobs]
olivia: Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of the womb jesus.
Sonny: I'm going to kill you!
Olivia: Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.
lucky: Hey.
Elizabeth: Hi.
Lucky: Sorry, we're a little early, but --
elizabeth: That's ok, come on in.
Lucky: The boys ready?
Elizabeth: Are you kidding? Cameron is so excited.
Sam: Oh, i hope you don't mind. I have to leave my car around back because, you know, lucky and i are still pretending to be broken up until we, of course,catch the bad guys.
Elizabeth: Yeah, that's --that's fine.How's that all going?
Sam: Um, we're making progress. Not as much as i'd like, but --
elizabeth: You know, it'sunbelievable that people wouldactually steal medicine and then deliver fakes to the hospitals. I don't get it. But i'm really glad you guys aredoing something to stop it.
Sam: Thank you. And we are going to catch the bad guys, right? In the meantime, i want to thank you so much. It really means a lot that you're letting us take the boysaway for the weekend.
Elizabeth: Well, they're a part of his life and you're a part of his life. And i'm just really glad that he's found someone to make him happy.
Elizabeth: And i hope you both can be happy for me, too, because while you're away at the mountains, i'm going to take a little trip, too, with jason.
Alexis: I don't think there have been any other shots fired.
Diane: Either jason has the situation under control, or that shooter is long gone.
Alexis: You're talking about this like this is the most natural thing in the world.
Diane: Oh, come on, honey. Did you really believe that sonny would simply be able to walk away?
Alexis: He made kate believe that he would.
Diane: Yeah, well, kate should have gotten far away from sonny the first time she got shot. I told her his pretty dimples were not worth dying for.
Alexis: I can't believe that this is happening. Why would he have a public ceremony if he didn't think that he could keep it safe?
Maxie: After killing logan, seeing that could've really sent lulu over the edge.
Spinelli: It's a shame. An event like this could've lifted her fragile spirits.
Maxie: I'm starting to think lulu might be better off if we stop trying to help her.
Lulu: Oh, i'm fine, really. It just -- it happened so fast and there was so much blood. Why is there always so much blood?
Carly: Lulu, what happened is terrible, It's ok to be upset.
Johnny: I got to get you back now.
Alexis: Everyone needs to stay here until the police arrive.
Johnny: Yeah, well, lulu can't.Thanks.
Tracy: Excuse me, do you know where my step-daughter lulu spencer is?
Orderly: She should be in her room.
Tracy: Well, she's not.
Orderly: I'll alert the staff.
Tracy: Oh, good idea.
Ric: You know, you don't seem too surprised by any of this.
Claudia: Why -- why should i be? No one ever really retires from this business. I'm just wondering if the target was supposed to be kate or if it was sonny.
Alexis: What's the eta on the ambulance? Thank you. Everyone, can i have your attention for one minute? I'm alexis davis. I'm the district attorney. An ambulance and the police are on their way. If you could just do us a favor, please, and stay calm and stay in the area until the police have taken your statements.Thank you.
Carly: Hey.Thank you for looking out for me in there and taking care of me and keeping me safe.
Jax: Yeah, it's ok, yeah. When i heard the shot, all i could think that -- that you could be hit, like michael was.
Alexis: Mike.
Mike: What?
Alexis: How's kate?
Mike: She's conscious, barely. Where the hell is the ambulance? Listen, does anyone here have any kind of medical training at all? Please, anyone? Carly.Carly.
Carly: I had one year of nursing school and i flunked out.
Mike: You're all we've got.
Sonny: It's ok.
Jason: Good, keep pressing down on the wound, firm.
[Kate gasps]
olivia: I'm hurting her.
Jason: You're saving her life.
Sonny: It's going to be ok. Hey, hey, listen to me. The ambulance is coming.
Jason: Is there an exit wound? Can you see something?
Olivia: I can't see. There's too much --
jason: Sonny.
Jason: Sonny, you got to keep her head tilted back so her airway's clear.
Sonny: Like this? I don't know what you're telling me.
Jason: That's ok, right there.
Sonny: Right there?
Jason: Yeah.
Kate: My necklace, where --
olivia: Honey, honey, stay focused. Connie, connie, stay focused, damn it.Look at me.Look at me.Look.
Kate: You're so bossy.
Olivia: I know i'm bossy. Honey, i always said you were a prima donna. I always said you couldn't hack it, ok? So you got to pull through this now.You got to pull through this or else you're going to prove me right. And i know you hate it when i'm right.Oh, God.Connie!
Sonny: Wait, wait, wait.No, no.Listen to me. No, it's ok.
Kate: I'm sorry --
sonny: Stay with me.
Kate: I should've -- i should've told you all those years, i loved you.
Sonny: I know, i know, but we were just kids, you know? You had places to go, things to do.
Kate: That's not what i meant. I should have told you --
olivia: No, honey -- connie, shh, don't talk, honey. You got to save your strength. You shouldn't talk.
Mike: Where in the hell is that ambulance? It should've been here a long time ago.
Jason: You got anything?
Cody: I found a single rifle shell in the choir loft. Whoever it was had time to take a second shot and didn't take it.
Jason: They must've hit their target the first time. They meant to shoot kate.
[Ric exhales]
claudia: Does it -- does it really shock you that your brother couldn't walk away from the mob like it was a bad dream? I mean, no one -- no one expected him to, except poor, deluded kate. How many times does that woman have to get shot before she gets it?
Ric: I'm moved by your empathy.
Claudia: Well, i never really had any use for that woman. And sonny will be better off.
Ric: You might want to keep that opinion to yourself or else you're going to sound like somebody who needs further questioning.
Spinelli: I must go aid those in peril.
Maxie: No, no, i'm sure jason and cody have it under control.
Spinelli: Stone cold and his soldier of doom do not shirk from their manly duties and neither can the jackal.
Maxie: You pulled me from the line of fire, maybe saved my life, and you call that shirking?
Spinelli: It was just -- it was just the reflexes kicking in. But now that i know you're safe, i must go put my skills to the test.
Maxie: What if i don't feelsafe, ok? What if i don't want you to leave me because i don't want to be alone? God, spinelli, we almost died. You can't leave me.
Spinelli: A jackal's got to do what a jackal's got to do.
Maxie: Well, then i'm going to go with you.
Olivia: Connie, stay with me, ok, honey? Stay with me. There's going to be help here real soon.
[Kate gasping]
kate: I don't hate you. I'm jealous of you.
Olivia: No, honey, you're the star. You always were.
Kate: You followed your heart. I should've done that, not wasted so much time.
Sonny: Hey, you have plenty -- you have plenty of time. You have all the time in the world.
Spinelli: What've we got?
Jason: Just this. I -- i want you to run a trace on it.
Spinelli: I think i already know the origin.
Jason: Now, don't jump to conclusions. We need to be sure.
Spinelli: Yeah, but the master, too, fears this bullet is russian.
Lucky: After all we've gone through to keep cameron and jake safe, you're just going to throw it all away to get -- by getting back with jason?
Elizabeth: But the boys aren't going to be with me.
Lucky: This time.
Elizabeth: Jason will never be a part of their lives.
Lucky: It explains why you're so suddenly agreeable for sam and i to take the boys, so we'd kind of go along with this.
Elizabeth: No, no, no, no. He asked me after i already agreed. And i don't need you to go along with this any more than you need my approval to see sam.
Lucky: The boys aren't in danger because of sam.
Elizabeth: I'd be careful what you say --
sam: Lucky --
lucky: Listen, sam had a lapse of judgment.
Jason is a mobster. He chooses to live his life this way every day.
Elizabeth: You don't think we've already thought about this every day, suffered over it?
Lucky: Michael corinthos is suffering. Do you want that to happen to cameron or jake or you?
Elizabeth: I'm not going to fight with you about this, lucky.
Lucky: So what if i don't take the boys tonight?
Elizabeth: Well, that's certainly your choice.
Lucky: What are you going to do, call audrey or bobbie and then take off with jason?
Elizabeth: I'm going to figure it out. I'll make arrangements. But you can't stop me from seeing jason.
Sam: Lucky, she's right. You -- you can't stop her. She's a -- she's a grown woman. I'm sure that she understands the risks, and i have absolutely no doubt that jason's going to be able to protect her.
Lucky: Yeah, i have my doubts, lots of them.
Sam: Guess what. Not your call, ok? So she was willing to meet us half-way and live with your choices, so i have a feeling you should probably do the same.
Jason: Hey, go out and wait with the other guests.
Spinelli: Yeah, that's a good idea.
Jason: No, both of you.
Spinelli: No, the grasshopper must stay and help protect mr. Sir and his fallen bride-to-be.
Jason: I need you to i.D. That shell casing.
Maxie: Yeah, and if the cops show up and you're with jason, it might look suspicious and probably stop you from helping him.
Jason: She's right.
Spinelli: Ok, the grasshopper obeys and will faithfully fulfill his appointed task.
Cody: You should check out the sight-line from that choir loft.
Jason: I'll check it out later. I want you -- i want you to take off, ok? When the cops get here, they find no shell casing. They're going to talk to the minister. He's going to tell them that he showed you the way to the choir loft.
Mike: Sonny, the ambulance is here.
Sonny: Do you hear that? Everything's going to be fine.
Kate: Not everything works out the way we want it to.
Sonny: No, no, no, no. No, no, no, no. You can't leave me because -- hey, listen. We've been through so much in our lives. You know me in my soul.You're the first girl i ever loved. Listen, i will always love you.
sonny: No, no, wait, wait, wait. Hey, the ambulance -- hurry, hurry, hurry.Listen -- listen to me, ok?
sonny: Listen to me! I've lost you once -- i almost lost you once already. I'm not going to lose you again. We're going to have everything we want in our lives, ok? Everything we dreamed of, you understand? Hey, hey!
Paramedic: Please, mr. Corinthos, you need to step back. One, two, three.
Sonny: Hey, i'm her fiancee, so i'm going to -- paramedic: Step back, please.
Sonny: I am stepping back. I'm going to -- i'm going to go in the ambulance, ok? I know who did this. Find proof.
Jason: I'm already working on it.
Alexis: Hey, hey, how is she?
Jax: Um, she was conscious until the paramedics arrived.
Diane: She is going to make it. She has everything to live for.
Jax: Hey, are you ok?
Carly: I knew this wedding was going to be a disaster, man, but not like this.
Jax: What are you talking about?
Carly: Kate's cousin, olivia --
jax: Yeah.
Carly: Sonny's friend who i was comping everything for at the hotel, from the old neighborhood -- kate's neighborhood. Did you know that kate's real name is connie --
jax: Connie falconeri. Yes, i know.
Carly: Of course you do. Leave it to kate to trust you with her deepest, darkest secret, so -- mm-hmm.
Claudia: That is exactly why people in our business should never get involved with civilians.
Ric: Because they're always targets of violence.
Claudia: Because they don't understand that it's part of the deal. It's like the money. It's like the fear in people's faces when they hear your last name. It's just part of your reality. You're always in danger. There are people that are willing to kill you. So if something like this happens, you know, you get angry. You grieve. Maybe you get revenge, but you're not surprised.
Ric: Yeah, well, i think kate might have been surprised, claudia. I don't think in the first few seconds that she thought that the stain on her dress was from her own blood.
Claudia: That's because she's a civilian, ric, like lulu's a civilian, like johnny's mother was a civilian. They don't understand. They don't know what it can be like, but sonny does. And it's kind of sad that a man like that can be that naive.
