Lulu: So, logan said that he was so angry when he came back from iraq, and i was supposed to be his redemption. He asked me to give him one more chance, and i lied and i said "yes." And i let him believe that we stood a chance.
Laura: But you were trying to survive.
Lulu: And he kissed me, and that's when he knew that i was lying, because i was shaking. I couldn't hide how scared i was.
Laura: He -- he was bullying you. Do you have any idea how wrong that is? He never, ever should have frightened you like --
lulu: Yeah, well, he flipped out, and he, um, grabbed me to keep me from running away. And i broke away from him, and i fell, and the knife was on the floor, so i picked it up. I just wanted to keep him away from me. And he ran at me, and it just -- it happened so fast, you know? And the knife, it kind of jerked in my hand, and he said that i would never get over him and he died. He's right, mom.
Laura: No.
Lulu: What i did is going to stay with me forever.
Laura: No. No, baby. No, it won't.
Kate: That was mortifying.
Sonny: You see all those people gathering around you? They crowded around like you were her -- take the -- take the --
kate: Get those chips away from me. They remind me of how sneaky you are.
Sonny: No, no. That's not true. You won this fair and square. And it would have been nice, you know, to blow on my, uh, my dice so -- spread the joy a little bit.
Kate: You rigged the tables. I told you how important it was for me. You said that you respected that, and then you made a fool of me.
Sonny: Why can't you just accept that you're the luckiest lady on the island?
Kate: Oh, yeah, the luckiest lady just happens to be sleeping with the boss.
Sonny: Well, that's your good fortune.
Kate: And now you're making fun of me.
Sonny: Ok, you have to admit you -- you -- you're overreacting a little bit.
Kate: It is the principle.
Sonny: Oh, the prin -- ok, on that case, i swear to you on the bible, that i did not rig the tables. I did not mess with the cards. You won every chip because of your ability and your talent.
Kate: Has that line worked for you in the past?
Sonny: This time i mean it.
[Sonny laughs]
kate: Right, yeah, this time you mean it. This is so your s.O.P.
Sonny: My what?
Kate: Your standard operating procedure, right? You bring your flavor of the month to the island. You make sure she has a fabulous time; make sure she wins a bundle. Then when she's all head spinning, feet off the ground, you seduce her.
Sonny: Good, because i was thinking about what we were going to do next. Let's go in the bedroom --
kate: Just admit that i'm right.
Sonny: Admit that -- ok, look, in the past i have beengenerous.
Kate: See? See?
Sonny: But not tonight.
Kate: And you expect me to believe that?
Sonny: Kate, you said it was important to you. I'm not -- i wasn't going to mess with you in that way.
Kate: Ok, see, i want to believe you, all right?
Sonny: Ok.
Kate: I mean, after all, what kind of marriage can we have if i can't trust you?
Patrick: Hey, spinelli, you -- you ready for us?
Spinelli: But of course.
Patrick: Perfect.
Anna: Hi, spinelli. You know, i appreciate what you feel for my daughter, but do you really want to do this?
Patrick: I don't give up. I just approach it from a different angle. That's how you handle a woman who's stubborn -- by being --
anna: What?
Patrick: Creative. Where do you want her?
Spinelli: Uh, there's perfect.
Patrick: Here? Ok, good.
Anna: Are you ok?
Spinelli: Oh, yeah, thanks.
Patrick: Here?
Spinelli: Oh, yeah -- um. Yeah.
Patrick: Ok, come on. You with me here?
Anna: Don't make me look old, ok?
Spinelli: I couldn't possibly.
Patrick: Hi, i'm dr. Drake, and i approve of this message.
Anna: Robin, my darling daughter, you know i don't think anyone is good enough for you. Well, i'm here to say that i'm probably wrong about that. You are an amazing woman, and some of what i wanted to impart to you was that you don't need anybody else in your life to make you whole. No man is ever going to be a substitute for your own self-worth, but i didn't mean that my way was the only way. You know, when it comes to family, please don't assume that you have to do it the way i did. Sometimes being adventurous just means being courageous enough to be different. You won't disappoint me, and you won't disappoint yourself. I promise you that. Patrick loves you, and you love him back. At the end of the day, you know, what else is there?
[Maxie screams]
matt: Calm down. Calm down, i'm not going to hurt you.
Jerry: Not to worry, he won't hurt you. Just step away from the young lady, or you'll be the one who needs brain surgery.
Elizabeth: Obviously, i don't know this sasha person, but i envy her. Because she gets to spend time with you, and you don't feel obligated to protect her. Nor do you have to convince yourself that you're not too dangerous to be with her.
Jason: You are on the team that operated on michael. We both know the reality.
Elizabeth: And children need adults to make decisions for them in their best interest, and that's what we did for cameron and jake and morgan, but i am not a child. If i choose to take risks, then that's my prerogative and nobody can decide for me.
Jason: If you're doing this to save me from some affair that i'm not having, don't. I miss you. You know, uh, i'm ok.
Elizabeth: But i'm not. I care about you and me. Jason, i want us back.
Laura: So far, nothing you've said makes me believe that you intentionally killed logan. You had to defend yourself, or you might have died.
Lulu: Sometimes i wish that i had. I'm so tired of being afraid of waiting to see logan. Waiting to go crazy.
Laura: Like i did? Honey, i'm like this because of the way i grew up. I have blank spots. When things get hard, i go inside myself and i hide, and sometimes i just can't remember. But you can remember. You remember everything about what happened that night. You're stronger than me. All you have to do now is forgive yourself.
Kate: Are you ready?
Sonny: Careful, because you've got a nice tray of chips right there. You could buy yourself some shoes or star-studded champagne glasses.
Kate: Flutes. They're called flutes. And stop stalling. I know you're just looking for a way to cheat.
Sonny: If you knew anything about cutting cards, you'd know it can't be rigged.
Kate: But you're sonny corinthos. You could find a way.
kate: What's so funny?
Sonny: Nothing, i just like to see you all, you know, fired up.
Kate: Mm.
Sonny: You want to blow on them?
Kate: Cut the cards.
Sonny: Ok, all i'm saying is this is really crazy, because you won the money legitimately, right? And to bet it all on one cut of cards -- that's something like my dad would do.
Kate: Oh, don't compare me to your father. That's not going to get you in my bikini anytime soon. Just so you know.
Sonny: Ok, what if -- what --
kate: Cut the cards.
Sonny: What if i win? What do i get?
Kate: You get the chips. You can do whatever you want with them, and, if you refuse, i might just leave the island tonight. Who knows what i'll do about our wedding. Cut the cards, please.
Sonny: What if you win?
Kate: Oh. If i win, i get a bouquet, picked by your own gorgeous hands.
Sonny: Flowers?
Kate: Mm-hmm. Yes, and i can see it strikes terror in your macho heart. So i know that you'll be legit. Now, cut the cards.
Sonny: All right, let's see what we got here. Ready?
Kate: I'm ready.
Kate: All right, it's a queen. Bye-bye christian cartullo wedges.
Sonny: Ok, hey -- hey -- hey it's all right. You got your turn, right?
Kate: I'm not going to beat a queen.
Sonny: Cut the cards, tough guy.
Carly: How's the house look tonight?
Marty: Well, your husband is having cocktails with mr. Karpov.
Jax: This is a plane ticket to moscow, first class, leaving tonight.
Karpov: I am not going anywhere.
Jax: I'm afraid that's not your choice. Your visa has been revoked.
Jerry: Do you know that it is a very foolish thing to accost a women in a deserted alley?
Matt: Will you tell him the truth, ok? Have you ever seen me do anything remotely hostile or threatening? Well?
Maxie: I'm thinking. It's hard for me to remember all those annoying things you've done. There was my cheese enchilada.
Matt: Are you seriously going to let this guy shoot me because i stole some food?
Maxie: Thanks for your help, but i'm fine. This was all just some misunderstanding.
Jerry: Are you sure?
Maxie: Yeah, this guy is annoying, but he's not dangerous. I appreciate the rescue, though.
Jerry: My pleasure. Have a wonderful day.
Maxie: Now that i saved your life, want to tell me what the hell you're doing here?
Matt: I'm trying to track down some counterfeit drugs, and you are making it twice as difficult as it has to be.
Johnny: Yeah, i'm not feeling too optimistic about my chances for acquittal here.
Claudia: I can fix that. My brother begged me to keep my mouth shut, but i'm not going to do it anymore. I'm not. I saw johnny kill logan in self-defense, and i will testify to it in open court.
Ric: You're a liar.
Elizabeth: Every morning i wake up, and i know it's another day that i don't get to see you. And i imagine you getting ready in the morning, and you pouring your coffee and all those stupid, little, wonderful moments that people who love each other should share. And, yet, i ache, because i'm never going to have that with you.
Jason: We made this decision together.
Elizabeth: Yeah, but we made this decision for jake. That he shouldn't be around you. You don't get to decide that for me.
Jason: But -- but you're a mother. I mean, it's not fair to jake and cam for you to take those risks.
Elizabeth: I know, and i understand that, but i don't want to walk through my life like a ghost, only half feeling, because i'm afraid that it's going to hurt too much to feel all the way.
Jason, i want to be with you even if it's only in secret.
Jason: But you deserve better, elizabeth.
Elizabeth: People do it all the time. They have affairs and they find ways to -- to meet with each other. So, why can't we? Unless you don't want to be with me, and, if that's true, you can walk out that door. I won't try to stop you. That's what i thought.

Tuesday: Part 1 Elizabeth: Don't say anything. Sonny: A bet's a bet.
Kate: See? Your virility wasn't compromised a bit by picking your fiancee a bouquet.
Sonny: Yeah, i'll show you how much it wasn't when i take the dirt off my hands.
Kate: Can i have my flowers?
Maid: I'll get you a vase, miss.
Kate: Oh, no, no, it's ok. I got it. I noticed the freesias outside earlier. The scent is amazing.
Maid: Mrs. Corinthos loved them. She used to plant them everywhere.
Andrei: Yes. Yes. All right.
Jax: It's valid, i assure you.
Andrei: Let's hope not, for your sake.
Sasha: Andrei, what's wrong?
Jax: Your client's visa has been revoked.
Andrei: Make this go away. I don't like obstacles, mr. Jacks. You'd be wise to remember that.
Lulu: [Gasps]
laura: What?
claudia: I saw johnny kill
logan in self-defense.
Johnny: Claudia, you weren't there. She wasn't there, i swear.
Ric: It's all right, it's all right.
Claudia: Hey --
ric: Look, i'm not going to let you get up on that stand and commit perjury.
Claudia: Can i just explain, please? I knew that something was wrong the minute i got off the elevator. I heard shouting. I ran up and i saw that the door to our penthouse was smashed open. Johnny was inside fighting for his life.
Logan had an ax, ok? Johnny had a little knife. And logan was ranting. Man, he was crazy. He was ranting about lulu and how he's going to make sure that he keeps johnny away from lulu for good.
Johnny: Claudia --
claudia: And i'm -- i'm yelling at them to stop, you know? But logan just keeps going. So i'm digging through my purse. I'm trying to find my cell phone and i look up Logan's got this ax and he's cornered my brother. Johnny did not have a choice. He used that knife in self-defense.The only thing my brother is guilty of -- saving his own life.
Laura: What's the matter?
Laura: No, no, it's all right. It's ok. You see him, don't you? You see logan.
Lulu: He's right behind you. He's the hallucination that's driving me crazy.
Laura: No, no, no, no, we won't let him. We won't let that happen. It's ok. It's ok.
Sonny: You're not going to put the flowers in the vase?
Kate: Not yet. I'm still enjoying my bouquet. This place really is special, sonny. How long did you say you've had it?
Sonny: Give or take, 10 years.
Kate: What are your favorite things to do here?
Sonny: Well, that depends, you know, who i'm with. But i want to start, you know, from scratch. So, whatever we decide to do, we could start a new tradition.
Kate: Ok, well, if it was up to you and you alone, what would you do?
Sonny: I'd go on a boat. I'd go to the beach because i love the beach, take a picnic, take a walk into the cove. We'd go for a swim.
Kate: I think you're confusing me with someone else. I don't swim, remember?
Sonny: I'm not confusing you with anybody.
Sonny: You know why? Because all you got to do is let me hold you and you'll feel safe.
Andrei: Well?
Sasha: When did you manage to get this document?
Jax: [Speaking german]
sasha: [Speaking german]
jax: [Speaking german]
andrei: Enough! Let our american legal counsel see to this. I assume you chose to speak in german so as not to alarm your beautiful, eavesdropping wife.
Jax: No, she has nothing to do with this.
Andrei: She's worried about you, mr. Jacks, and with a good reason, because what you've done is extremely foolish.
[Speaking german]
jason: We can't do this
Elizabeth: Why? Why can't we be together?
Jason: We talked about it months ago.
Elizabeth: Are you going to deny that you want me as much as i want you?
Jason: People want a lot of things they can't have.
Elizabeth: But this is not about people. This is about us.
Jason: We can't do this. There is no "us."
Elizabeth: Yes, there is. We may not talk about it or act on it, but it's there all the time.
Jason: I have nothing to offer you.
Elizabeth: That is not true.
Jason: We tried to meet in secret and it didn't work. If i sleep with you, i'm going to want more. I'm going to want the life that i can't have.
Elizabeth: There's no solution, why can't we grab what little happiness we can?
Jason: We can say that we're going to stay in the present, but it's impossible. You know that we're not going to be satisfied meeting in secret. We're going to want more, so why even do it to ourselves?
Elizabeth: Because i can't forget you. I need you. Don't shut me out.
[Phone rings]
jason: Yeah, bernie. Well, did you talk to ramirez about the meeting or not?
Laura: Honey, don't give him the power to frighten you.
Lulu: I can't help it. He's standing right there. I know he's a hallucination, but i just see him.
Laura: Then we are going t make him go away.
Lulu: I can't. I have tried again and again. And sometimes he does go away, and -- and then i tell myself i'm ok, it's over. But it's never over. When i think that i'm moving past it and finally feeling hope, logan shows up again.
Laura: Like he won't allow yo to go forward?
Lulu: He wants me to pay because he's gone and i'm still here. He's going to make me relive it over and over until i go crazy.
Laura: No, lulu, listen to me. You had the right to defend yourself.
Lulu: No, no, no, i did everything wrong and now logan is dead because of me.
Laura: Lulu -- you said that you see him when you feel hopeful, right? Like he doesn't want to allow you to go forward, right? Sweetheart, it's not logan doing that. That's you.
Maxie: You're probably in this alley so you can get in the counterfeit drug ring yourself.
Matt: I lost a patient to counterfeit drugs. She had a heart condition and i prescribed the right medicine, but she went south on me fast, all the way to the morgue. But before we could realize that she was taking a placebo, it was too late. Whoever switched out the fake meds with the real ones killed her as sure as putting a bullet in her head, and i am going to make sure that that never happens again.
Claudia: Johnny wanted to call the police and i wouldn't let him. I mean, logan was the special prosecutor's son. Scott baldwin would've been out for blood. I mean, he's been going after johnny every chance he got, you know?
Ric: Despite the potential evidence in john's favor? You said it yourself -- the door was splintered, there was an ax involved.
Claudia: I know, but scott baldwin would've claimed that we staged everything after the fact. Right? Besides, john was completely out of it. He couldn't make any decisions. So i made all of them for him, including disposing of the body, dumping it at the clinic, getting rid of the door, burning the bloody carpet. Look, i love my brother, and i would do anything to protect him. And if anybody's guilty here, it's me.
Ric: Look, it's very moving, but it's a total lie.
Claudia: Doesn't have to be.
Ric: Think the jury would believe your story?
Claudia: I think i can be very convincing when i have to be.
Ric: I have no doubt in my mind that you can lie with total conviction. Properly rehearsed, we can maybe remove a few of the little inconsistencies, some of the details that make it seem, well, a little less than rehearsed. The cops have forensics on their side, claudia. If they uncover one scrap of evidence to dispel your story, it's going to look like exactly what it is, a desperate ploy to try to save your brother. The quickest way for you to get john convicted is to get caught in a lie. So you're not going on the stand. But lulu is.
Johnny: No, no, no, no, no! You do that and it's over.
Laura: Honey? Where do you see him?
Lulu: He's right there.
Laura: Ok. It's ok. Now tell yourself that you have the power to make him go away.
Lulu: I don't.
Laura: Honey, you've done so many courageous things in your life. Show a little courage now.
Lulu: I can't do that.
Laura: Yes, you can. You must confront him.
Lulu: He's not real!
Laura: He is to you. He's very real to you. So you must talk to him. Tell him why he died. And you can tell him that you're sorry. But tell him that you're not going to give up the rest of your life for him.
Matt: I traced the bad meds back to the same distributor that general hospital uses.
Maxie: And you pulled some strings to get the fellowship nikolas was offering.
Matt: No, i got that on my own merits, than you very much. I was offered several grants, but this one allowed me to continue my investigation. So, like most residents, i have a fortune in student loans. It's believable that i would get involved in a fake drug ring.
Maxie: And your lousy personality makes it pretty convincing.
Matt: Oh, why am i even bothering explaining?
Maxie: So i don't tell my dad what you're doing.
Matt: The point is i am very close to figuring out where this warehouse is where they're storing the bad meds.
Maxie: And then what?
Matt: And then i go in there, i get the names, i.D.'S. I call the cops, i bust this thing wide open.
Maxie: You know, you're taking a pretty big risk, assuming you're telling me the truth.
Matt: I am way too good of a surgeon to be wasting my life dealing drugs.
Maxie: Ok, what are you going to do if the bad guys catch you?
Matt: Well, that -- now, that is a concern, if every single time i turn around, i'm tripping over you.
Maxie: Fine, i'll leave. And i'll keep your secret.
Matt: Just -- just like that?
Maxie: Yeah. You told me about your patient with the heart condition. I happen to have empathy for her.
Carly: What happened?
Jax: I don't know. Karpov's visa was revoked. So he can no longer stay at the hotel because now he's illegal in this country, so i had him escorted off the premises.
Carly: Jax, you shouldn't have done that.
Jax: Well, i did, so hopefully now it'll be over.
Carly: It's not funny. The man is dangerous. Jerry didn't warn you once he warned you twice. And you told me that if jerry is that worried, then the man must be psycho.
Jax: Look, you've been drawing karpov's attention. Now, we both know how dangerous he is towards women. I have the right to protect you.
Carly: Jax --
jax: No, don't "jax" me, ok? I love you. I'll do whatever it takes to keep you safe.
Kate: Wow.
Sonny: Hey. I had the restaurant send over some food, all right, so we caneat and have champagne.
Kate: Thank you. So i noticed all those shellsin the cabinet before. They're phenomenal. Are they all from the island?
Sonny: Yeah, carly collected them, along with michael and morgan. And when michael was 5, one ofthose summers, he saw a starfish. That's probably what you saw over there.
Kate: What about that cone-shaped one? It has sort of like a tiger pattern on it.
Sonny: I don't know because carly knew the names of all those things. What i should've done is packed all that stuff up and sent it to her after we got divorced, but i just never got around to it.
Kate: Well, maybe you like having it here.
Sonny: No, what i like is, you know, when i see them, it reminds me of my children on the beach picking up shells.
Kate: Mm-hmm, with carly.
Sonny: Ok, listen, that was in the past.
Kate: Yeah, it was. It's just that carly has a lot of -- she's left her mark on the place in a lot of ways.
Sonny: We spent a lot of time here. I told you that.
Kate: Yes, you did. And i thought it was best to meet those memories head-on, but it's just making me wonder if carly will ever really be out of your life.
max: Diane, i saw your car.
Diane: You look positively huck finn-ish, which is very appealing in a rural sort of way.
Max: You know, i had my feet in the pool. I do it sometimes when mr. C's gone. You want my papers?
Diane: Yes, the prenuptial agreement that i drew up. I realize that sonny is on his island with kate, but i was sort of hoping to see you.
Max: You want to join me at the pool?
Diane: At or in?
Max: Whatever your heart desires.
Diane: Oh, max, you are so poetic. I just can't wrap my mind around this.
Max: Well, you don't have to do it if you don't want to.
Diane: No, no, no, no, no, no, not the sensual fun of skinny-dipping. I am talking about kate marrying sonny. She's so full of love and hope.
Max: Isn't that what a bride's supposed to feel?
Diane: Mm-hmm, and she wouldn't be if she knew that sonny was having sex with his ex-wife in the back of a limousine the night that michael was sent to the institute.
Max: You know about that?
Diane: I know everything. Unfortunately, i can't tell kate.
Max: Of course not.
Diane: So you have to.
Lulu: Your plan is crazy.
Laura: Well, consider the source.
Lulu: Mom, i'm seeing somebody who is not there.
Laura: That's because you feel guilty because you regret that he died.
Lulu: Of course.
Laura: Don't you feel the slightest bit angry about what he did to you?
Lulu: Yes, but i still shouldn't --
laura: Then tell him. You need to tell him that he terrorized you and that forced you to defend yourself.
Lulu: But it's partly my fault.
Laura: Which part?
Lulu: I knew that i wanted johnny, but i kept going back to logan, denying my feelings.
Laura: Oh, you made a mistake, honey. That still -- he did not have the right to do what he did to you.
Lulu: I still should have handled this better.
Laura: He wanted you more than you wanted him, ok? That gives him the right to feel hurt, and that's it. Do you think it was right that he used an ax to get into your apartment --
lulu: No.
Laura: That he chased after you like that? That he hit maxie?
Lulu: No, no, of course not.
Laura: How did that make you feel?
Lulu: I hated him.
Sep 2, 2008 06:51
Andrei: [Speaking russian]
jerry: Mon dieu, mon dieu, you seem to be having a bad day in any language.
Andrei: Someone has created a serious problem for me.
Jerry: Yes, and do you care to be more specific?
Andrei: The jealous husband.
Jerry: Anything i can handle for you?
Andrei: Well, it requires a personal touch. Why am i here?
Jerry: Well, we might have a possible setback, and there's a doctor by the name of matt hunter who's apparently investigating counterfeit drugs.
Andrei: Mm-hmm. Has he come up with anything?
Jerry: Well, he's made a contact with someone who has access to the warehouse where we store the drugs, so --
andrei: This is why i hired you. Shut him up, permanently.
Jason: No, i won't be much longer. Yeah, ok. Thanks, bernie.
Elizabeth: I know your business will always come first.
Jason: It's not just a business. You know, people depend on me. I'm responsible for so many things and so many people. I can't -- i can't just walk away, and i would never ask you to be second.
Elizabeth: Well, i'm glad you're not asking, because i'm telling you that it's ok with me.
Jason: No, no, you say that now, but --
elizabeth: Jason, please do not presume you know what i'm thinking. You have this idea that i'm too fragile and sensitive to handle your world.
Jason: No, you're one of the strongest women i know.
Elizabeth: But you worry about my expectations. And you're right, i used to have them. When you and i were first together, i tried to accept that you worked for sonny and that you would never give it up. I hoped that you would, and i hoped that you would live a normal life someday.
Jason: I can't give you a normal life.
Elizabeth: I know I know that now, because i've changed. And after all these years, i've come to realize that it's all about compromise. And people are complicated, and i have no right to judge them and i have no right to decide anything for anyone else.
Jason: I know, but i don't want to keep hurting you, elizabeth.
Elizabeth: I know, but, jason, neither one of us have a crystal ball to see the future. All we have is the present. And in the present, all i want is you, whenever i can for as long as i can. And if it becomes too painful, then i'll walk away. Can you do that? Can you just let me decide what's best for me?
elizabeth: I always think about our time at the safe house. I loved meeting you there.
Jason: I know. But you had to sneak away. You know, i had to lie to people, make excuses. You came to me when you shouldn't have, and you fell asleep at the wheel.
Elizabeth: But i was desperate to see you. I was afraid that every meeting would be our last, and now i just assume that it is and i accept it.
Jason: You can't. There's too much at stake for both of us.
Elizabeth: Not if we're careful.
Jason: Things are different now. You know, i'm not sonny's second anymore. I'm running things. What happens if you got shot or you got killed meeting with me? Your children need to come first.You have to put them first. All it takes is one mistake, elizabeth.
Elizabeth: Jason, why are you fighting this so hard? Have you stopped loving me? Was this all about jake, and now that you've given jake up, have you given me up, too?
Jason: That's not fair.
Elizabeth: Then just tell me the truth.
Jason: Well, the truth is that we wouldn't even be here if spinelli didn't come up with some crazy scenario in his head.
Elizabeth: No, no, that's not true. This has been building for months. I miss you being a part of my life.I just thought you felt the same way.
Jason: I can't do this anymore.
Elizabeth: Ok, so you've told me that we can't meet, but you have yet to tell me how you feel. I need to know, jason. I need to know so i can make peace with it. Because if you don't -- if you don't love me anymore, just say so, so i can let this all go.
Sonny: When did this stop being fun for you?
Kate: I don't know, i guess when i broke my own rules and started fishing around about carly.
Sonny: Carly and i are done, and as soon as she took my kids, there was no bond there. You know that already.
Kate: I know that you're hurt.
Sonny: Yes.
Kate: I know that you're angry. You have every right to be. That doesn't negate the years you spent with carly.
Sonny: People have been married for 20, 30 years. They have a second marriage, and they're happy and fulfilled.
Kate: Uh-huh, does carly know that role?
Sonny: Carly's married to jax, so what are we going here for?
Kate: Jax thinks the same thing.
Sonny: What do you mean?
Kate: There is something between you two. There's some sort of connection. It's not the kids. It's --
sonny: You and i knew each other when we were teenagers, way before carly, so that means that we have a special bond.
Kate: Do you remember -- do you remember that night that we went to the park and we brought the folding chairs and we looked up at the stars --
sonny: Mm-hmm.
Kate: And we played "what's your secret?" And we confided back and forth, and you looked at me and you said, "connie, no one will ever know me like you do."
Sonny: It's true.
Kate: It was true. It was true. There's so many years in between, sonny, and so many of those years were with carly.
Sonny: But that is the past. I cannot change that, kate.
Kate: I know you can't. And you can't change whatever it is you have with her.
Sonny: What do you want me to say?
Kate: I don't know.
Kate: I -- i don't know. I guess i just want you to validate my feelings that there is some sort of spark between you that could be ignited at any time, and without any warning, you could find yourself in each other's arms, and i would be the one burned.
Laura: Remember the night that he broke into the apartment?
Lulu: I don't want to.
Laura: Honey, it's ok. I'm right here with you. Nobody's going to hurt you. Let yourself remember how it felt.
Lulu: But -- i'm afraid.
Laura: Go on.
Lulu: I want to run, but there's nowhere to go. I can't get away.
Laura: And what did it feel like when he grabbed you?
Lulu: Scared.
Laura: Yeah. What else?
Lulu: Shocked. I can't believe this is happening.
Laura: Good. What did it feel like when he kissed you?
Lulu: I was shaking. I wanted him to think that i liked him so that he wouldn't be so angry.
Laura: Because you were trying to save yourself.
Lulu: And he knew it, and he grabbed me.
Laura: How did it feel when he attacked you?
Lulu: I hated him!
Laura: Good, you tell him. You're in control now, lulu. You tell him.
Lulu: He's coming at me.
Laura: Talk to him. Tell him that you never meant to kill him but you had every right to defend yourself, and then you tell him to go away.
Lulu: Stop!
Johnny: I told you from the start, lulu stays off of that stand.
Claudia: Maybe it will help lulu to help you. I mean, if her testimony gets you acquitted, then you guys can go off and have a happy life together.
Johnny: Lulu completely snapped the day jason brought her here to see me. Remember, you were there. She was standing right here screaming at something that wasn't there. If she takes that stand, it could turn into a permanent breakdown like her mother. I'm not going to risk that.
Ric: Do you have any idea what you're risking if you don't?
Johnny: Ric, you call lulu to the stand, i confess on the spot.
Ric: Oh, my --
johnny: I will tell the entire court that i murdered logan hayes with premeditation, and here's the best part. Once i get locked up, my father will unleash hell on this town. Are you sure you want to risk that, ric?
Claudia: Let me talk to him, ok?
Ric: Yeah, go ahead. God knows i'm not getting anywhere.
Claudia: Why are you so determined to keep lulu off the stand?
Johnny: How many times do i have to say it? She's sick. I don't want her getting worse.
Claudia: Lulu and maxie got to the apartment before i did. What did lulu see?
Johnny: Nothing, claudia. Leave it alone.
Claudia: I have the timing all wrong, don't i? Hmm? My God You got to the apartment after maxie and lulu. You didn't kill logan hayes, did you? Because lulu did.
Elizabeth: Jason, i love you, but if you don't feel the same way, then all i'm doing is humiliating myself.
Jason: I don't know how to make this ok for you. Maybe i should lie, you know, say i don't care about you, but i can't. I cannot hurt you on purpose even if it's to set you free.
Elizabeth: But you'll hurt me with the truth, telling me you care but you can't --
jason: What i feel doesn't matter.
Elizabeth: Yes, it does. It matters to me. Because if i know you love me, then it's something to hold on to. I'll know in my heart that it's real and not just my imagination, even if we never speak about it again.
Jason: You know i love you.
Lulu: I hate that you used me and you lied to me. I hate that you thought i was a game in the beginning, somebody that you could seduce just so you could sleep with maxie. And then when you wanted me back, you thought you could snap your fingers and i would forgive and forget. I hate that you were angry and possessive and controlling. Johnny or no johnny, i could have never loved you. And even when i told you that, you wouldn't go away, and i hate that you somehow decided that i was your savior. You put so much guilt and pressure on me. Even after i had moved on, you would grab me and you would maul me, and you wouldn't listen to me, especially that night. I told you to stay away, and you wouldn't. You just kept coming after me over and over until you shoved yourself on that knife and died. I'm sorry you're dead. I'm sorry that i couldn't save you. Nobody could have done that but you. So i forgive you, logan, but you need to leave me alone so we can both be at peace. He's gone. He's gone.
Laura: I'm so proud of you.
Johnny: Logan was already dead when lulu and maxie showed up.
Claudia: I remember lulu and maxie that night. Maxie was a little shaken up. Lulu was completely flipped out.
Johnny: Maxie's tough. She's stronger than lulu.
Claudia: Yeah, lulu was hysterical.
Johnny: Lulu actually had a relationship with logan at one time. She thought she actually had feelings for him, so she walks in and sees logan dead with a knife sticking out of his belly --
claudia: Yeah, but, see, that's the part that never made sense to me, johnny. That crazy psycho comes hacking down our door with an ax? Come on, you're not going to go after him with a carving knife. You're going to get your gun.
Johnny: Oh, ric's not going to buy this story any more than --
claudia: He's going to buy the truth. He's going to recognize the truth when he hears it. Lulu was at the house alone, wasn't she, hmm? Logan showed up, went after her, and you've been lying for her to cover it up, and i have been stupid enough to help you.
Johnny: Oh, drop it, claudia.
Claudia: No. Like hell i'm going to drop it. You are throwing your life away for that stupid little bitch.
Johnny: If you tell anyone this crazy little theory of yours, i'll confess.
Claudia: Yeah, i bet lulu will, too. That's why you're so desperate to keep her off the stand, isn't it, john?
Johnny: If you turn this on lulu, i won't forgive you. If you hurt her to save me, i'll wreck your life.
Claudia: Ok, well, guess what. That's exactly what i'm going to do. I'm going to save you, john.
Jax: I love you. I'm almost ready to come home.
Carly: Almost? Do you think you can move that timetable up a notch?
Max: I -- i can't. Mr. C would kill me.
Diane: Well, i certainly can't tell kate. That would be a gross breach of attorney-client privilege. Sonny would have me hauled up on charges before the state bar. Max: So what's worse, you being in trouble with the bar or me being dead?
Diane: What's worse is kate being kept in the dark about all of this.
Sonny: Yes, i -- i have gone back to carly in the past, but that's when i was with women in short-term relationships.
Kate: But the pull was always there.
Sonny: She was the mother of my children. I was addicted to the drama andthe pain that we caused each other.
Jax: I realize patience isn't one of your virtues.
Carly: No, it's not one of yours either.
Jax: I just want to keep going slow until we're both sure.
Carly: I'm sure. I've never been more sure of anything in my whole life. Jax, you're the best thing that's ever happened to me.
Sonny: You have to understand that i was different back then. Bipolar, self-destructive. I was in the mob. Now i'm a legitimate coffee importer.I'm taking my medication.And i'm -- and i'm in the best place i've ever been right now because of you.
Carly: You're it for me. I want to spend the rest of my life with you.
Sonny: My future is with you. Do you want to know what i feel about carly? Sadness.
Kate: Thank you. I needed to hear that, and i really hope it's true.
Max: What she doesn't know won't hurt her.
Diane: Oh, God. That is such a man thing to say.You know perfectly well that she would not set one foot downthat aisle, couture wedding dress or not, if she knew that sonny and carly were having sex in the back of a limousine as of last may.
Sep 3, 2008 04:41
Carly: Wow, do i smell bacon? Mercedes, you're getting it - what's all this?
[Jax chuckles]
morgan: We made breakfast. It's a surprise.
Jax: Mm-hmm. And by the look on your mom's face, it certainly worked.
Carly: Certainly did.
Jax: Yep. We got all your favorites here. We got pancakes, bacon --
carly: Ice cream? You guys made ice cream for me, too?
Jax: Mm-hmm. He made it.
Carly: Wow, you're talented. Get up here and give me a hug.
Jax: Mm, so good.
Carly: Thank you. Wow, so, um, are you just here for breakfast, or are you home for good?
[Anthony laughs]
anthony: Look at that. Did i make a handsome kid or what? You look great. What's more important, you look as innocent as a newborn babe.
Johnny: Where's claudia?
Anthony: Who cares?
Johnny: I need to see her.
Anthony: In case you haven't noticed, john, your life is hanging in the balance here. The last thing you need is to be distracted by your sister.
Lulu: Mom?
Laura: Oh, wow, you look wonderful.
Lulu: Yeah. I haven't felt this good in i don't know how long.
Laura: Good night's sleep?
Lulu: Mm-hmm.
Laura: Yeah.
Lulu: Yeah, not one nightmare since logan's death.
Laura: Good.
Lulu: And i owe it all to you I love you so much.
Laura: I love you.
Jason: How you feeling?
Spinelli: I feel surprisingly well. And you?
Jason: I'm not the one recovering from a hit-and-run.
Spinelli: Still, stone cold looks fatigued. I hope it was just merely a sleepless night and that you weren't engaging in nihilistic or self-destructive activities.
Elizabeth: Hello? How's everyone's favorite patient today?
Spinelli: Surprisingly chipper this morning, thank you.
Elizabeth: Looks like your temperature's gone down.
Spinelli: Excellent. If the jackal may be so bold, he can't help but notice a little tension in the air and it -- well, i can't help but wonder, did you receive a call or other communication from the maternal one last night?
jax: So what's on morgan's schedule today?
Mercedes: Um, school clothes and supplies.
Carly: Oh, you get to go shopping. You're so lucky.
Mercedes: Ready, champ?
Morgan: Ready. Will you be here when i get home?
Jax: Well, i'm not sure. Um, if i'm not here, it's because i'm working late. Otherwise, i'll be here to tuck you in and read you a story.
Morgan: Cool.
Jax: Ok?
Mercedes: Ready?
Carly: Bye, sweetie.
Jax: Have a good day.
Morgan: Bye.
Jax: See you.
Carly: Did you mean that?
Jax: I think so.
Carly: You wouldn't be getting morgan's hopes high just to turn around and disappoint him, i mean, are you coming home?
Jax: Seems rather pointless to keep a hotel room when you come to visit me every night anyway. I love you. I want our marriage to work.
Carly: It will. I promise you it will.
Spinelli: Um, the jackal fears he may have said something untoward that's causing fair
elizabeth inner turmoil?
Elizabeth: You know what, spinelli? You should channel all that energy you're wasting on me into your own recovery.
Spinelli: My abject apologies. It seems that in order to improve the situation, i have had the opposite effect.
Jason: You -- you have an amazing imagination, ok? I admire that. Sometimes i even think what it would be like, but it takes you to crazy places. This ridiculous idea that i'm in some kind of relationship with sasha -- i am not. And to tell elizabeth i am, no matter how well-intentioned, you put her in a position to be hurt by me over something that's not even happening, ok? I need -- i need to know that you understand right now, spinelli.
Maxie: Oh, good, you're both here. I have been subpoenaed to testify at johnny zacchara's trial, which means unless one of you can get me out of it, i'm going to spend the next best years of my life wearing some ugly orange jumpsuit. And i'll tell you both i'd rather be shot dead where i stand.
Nadine: Last night?
Leyla: Uh-huh?
Nadine: Best night ever.
Leyla: Ah-ha.
Nikolas cassadine?
Nadine: So, you know, he invited me out to wyndemere?
Leyla: Yeah.
Nadine: Yeah, my expectations were so low, i didn't even bother getting dressed up. Imagine my surprise when i show up to a totally romantic dinner for two. I'm talking candles, fine china, whole nine yards. Butler -- seriously -- butler.
Leyla: Sounds wonderful.
Nadine: No, that doesn't even begin to describe it. I mean, there was dancing -- no, sorry, waltzing. It was like flying before -- hey, nikolas.
Nikolas: I have a meeting with dr. Stanton.
Leyla: Oh, ok, i'll let him know.
Nikolas: Ok. He's going to refer some patients to the clinic.
Nadine: Great.
Nikolas: Well, thank you for dinner last night. I had a really nice time.
Nadine: Yeah.
Leyla: You can go back now.
Nikolas: Ok, thanks.
Nadine: "Really nice"?
Anna: Hi, darling.
How are you?
Robin: Hi.
Anna: Wow, what did i do?
Robin: Your ridiculous testimony on the internet for patrick?
Ring a bell?
Alice: Let me help you.
Edward: My health is very fragile. I have a heart condition, and my sciatica has really been acting up lately.
Monica: You're going to have to do a lot better than that.
Edward: Well, you're a doctor, couldn't you write a note for me?
Monica: I'm not going to have anything to do with your scam. First of all, there's nothing physically wrong with you. Second of all, i'm not going to say there is just to get you out of jury duty.
Edward: You've always been a heartless woman. Uh, but, you know, you've been on trial, so you just ask yourself, would you have liked for me to be on your jury, hmm? No, you'd be doing the legal system a great favor.
Monica: The answer is no.
[Edward groans]
alice: Look who's back.
Monica: Hi, tracy. Any luck finding luke?
Tracy: Three guesses.
Edward: Now, you can't give up, tracy. That little girl needs her father, such as he is.
Tracy: I need a break, and i want to check on lulu. How's she doing?
Edward: Well, we're all concerned.
Monica: She completely fell apart.
Alice: It's like she's a total nut job now.
Tracy: Thank you, john zacchara. He pulls her into his world all in the name of love, and this is what she gets for it.
Edward: Fortunately, he's about to go on trial for murder.
Tracy: You're kidding?
Edward: Mm.
Tracy: Oh, no that's good news. Maybe he'll go away for a long, long time.
Johnny: You're not hearing me. I need to see claudia. Either you get her here now, or as soon as i get into that courtroom, i'll throw myself onto the mercy of that judge. I'll plea. I'll take whatever time i get.
[Anthony groans]
anthony: I'm really tired of being blackmailed.
Johnny: Then why don't you call my bluff.
[Anthony chuckles]
anthony: You're quite the enigma, john. I don't know whether to admire you for your determination, or to be appalled by your gullibility. That's your fatal flaw, son. You put your trust in the wrong people. Well, i guess that's why you got me, someone to make sure you don't throw your life away. Guard!
[Knock at door]
cody: Can i help you?
Clarice: Maybe. Do you work for jason morgan?
Cody: I drive for his accountant.
Clarice: I guess that's close enough. I'm clarice. I work as an editor with kate howard for "crimson."
Cody: It's nice to meet you. How can i help?
Clarice: Um, the thing is, i really need to get in touch with kate, but she's gone away with sonny.
Cody: Mr. Morgan and mr. Corinthos are no longer affiliated. If you really need to get in touch with kate through sonny, speak to his bodyguard, max giambetti.
Clarice: Oh, that won't work. See, this is personal, you know, woman to woman. Sonny is kate's fiancee, so i can't go through his bodyguard.
Cody: Is that some kind of female logic? As long as you get the number, why does it matter where it comes from?
Clarice: I don't expect you to understand, and it isn't really necessary that you do. I'm sure that mr. Morgan has all of sonny's contact numbers. It's my understanding that he took kate to some private island that he owns in the caribbean?
Cody: I just started here, so i don't know anything about sonny's private real estate holdings. And even if i did, i couldn't just give out numbers without mr. Morgan's ok. I'll tell him you were here and why, but that's the best i can do.
Clarice: Don't trouble yourself. I'll find another way.
Jax: Mm, thank you.
Carly: Life's going to be perfect. I know things were rocky for a while there.
Jax: Well, what's important is we got through the rough patch, came out on the other side.
Carly: I'm just sorry that i made you doubt how much i love you. I don't ever want to do that again. What's that?
Jax: I need your professional opinion with that, actually.
Carly: Oh, well, which one? Because i am multi-talented.
Jax: Well, i'm thinking about building my mom a bigger house, so i want to get your opinion.
Carly: Wow, this is beautiful.
Jax: Mm-hmm.
Carly: Huge. This is really big for lady jane.
Jax: Well, i was hoping that we could visit a lot.
Carly: Gosh. It's gorgeous. All the windows are beautiful. I mean, the hallways are alittle small, but other thanthat, this is amazing.
Maxie: I can see it now. It's like a horror film on an endless mental loop. I'm going to get on the stand and scott baldwin will be looking at me with those mean, little beady eyes, and he's going to start yelling at me and giving me trick questions.It's not going to matter what i say, i'm going to sound guilty. Then he's going to catch me in a lie and then i'm going to feel cornered, and my mouth is going to start flapping way ahead of my brain. And then he's going to charge me with perjury or accessory after the fact or obstruction of justice, god knows what else. I'm going to miss the whole sexual peak of my life on account that i'm going to be in jail because i decided to cover for lulu's murdering butt instead of calling my dad and turning her in immediately.
Spinelli: Ok, maximista is working herself into a state rapidly resembling hyperventilation for no good reason.You're under the protection of stone cold. He'd never allow you to go to prison.
Maxie: Is that just spinelli's hero worship talking, or can you really get me out of testifying? Oh, i know. Maybe you could, like, break scott baldwin's kneecaps orleave a horse head on his bed.
Jason: That's not going to get you what you want, ok? If i threaten baldwin on your behalf, he's going to know that you have something to hide.
Maxie: Hello? I do have something to hide. Both of you better make sure it stays hidden.
Lulu: When i first started seeing visions of logan, it was only at night so i could tell myself that i was dreaming, but eventually, it didn't matter. Day or night, asleep or awake, he would show up whenever. But now, logan's gone.
Laura: Honey, i don't want to dampen your spirits because having you happy is the most important thing to me, but it's only been one night so it's possible that logan could come back and i don't want you to feel defeated.
Lulu: No, no, i get that. I get it in a way i really couldn't before. Logan was about my guilt. I was punishing myself for killing him and getting away with it. Logan was my conscience come to life, you know? You helped me understand that. I mean, you gave me my sanity back. That's the most profound gift that i've ever received.
Claudia: What the hell did you say to daddy? He practically shot me out of a cannon.
Johnny: I can't participate in the trial unless you promise me you'll keep your mouth shut about what happened to lulu.
Claudia: What does that mean? You can't participate? What is that, john?
Johnny: I'll take a deal.
Claudia: Oh, really?
Johnny: Plead out and take the hand i'm dealt, yeah.
Claudia: You don't seriously expect me to sit on something that i know could help you be set free, acquitted of a murder you didn't commit, while your girlfriend, who incidentally did commit it, gets off scott free?
Johnny: Ok, but it is not lulu's fault. She didn't premeditate, she defended herself.
Claudia: Hey, you know what? Tell it to scotty baldwin.
Johnny: It is too late for that. I covered up this whole murder. I'm the one that destroyed the evidence, broke out of this place and went on the run and evaded capture for weeks. This is on me now, and i need to see it through. Respect me enough to let me do this my way. Promise me, claudia.
Officer: Time to go.
Claudia: I have an errand to run, so i'm going to be late to court. Just promise me you won't do anything until you talk to me again.
Johnny: Doesn't sound like a promise.
Claudia: Well, hey, i can't say anything if i'm not there, right? I love you. Good luck.
Anna: I know. I did not think that was a very good idea, either. However, your boyfriend is extremely persuasive. And i meant everything that i said. However, you know, i'm not convinced that the internet is really the appropriate venue for any kind of relationship issues.
Robin: I'm not convinced. It is an invasion of privacy.
Anna: I hate to remind you, but you're the one that started this whole cyber-war with your blog. I don't think that patrick could have come up with this on his own, mm-mm.
Robin: Well, thank you very much for pointing that out.
Anna: That's what mothers are for. And you will find out soon enough.
Patrick: Hey. I've got some new testimonials for you to look at.
Coleman is actually surprisingly touching.
Robin: Coleman?
Coleman: Are we on?
Patrick: Yeah, ready, ok?
Coleman: Ok.
[Coleman clears throat]
coleman: Hey, robin. Well, patrick here asked me to put in a good word, so here goes. Um, you know what i've come to learn about my buddy patrick here is that underneath, you know, the self-important, self-entitled exterior is really just a self-important, self-entitled interior.
[Coleman laughs]
coleman: Just kiddin', man. Just joking. Ok, uh -- oh, i mean, patrick, he may be, you know, he's a bigimportant doctor, right? But, robin, he's, um, he's also just a regular guy, you know, that wants the same things that most guys want, you know? He wants health, wealth, and a little woman to come home to.
Robin: A little woman?
Patrick: Shh, just listen.
Coleman: Come on, dudette, who are you trying to fool? I mean, you know you love the guy, right? I mean, what's not to love? I mean, you don't possibly believe you can do any better. The guy's a brain surgeon for God sake. He's handsome. He's got bucks. And he's -- he's totally in love with you. You know, instead of stringing him along, you should consider yourself lucky, you know? Adopt an attitude of gratitude. Check it out. It's like this.It's like close the eyes, pucker the lips, start making up with a big, sloppy kiss. I just made that up on the spot for you.
[Robin laughs]
coleman: That's for you. But i'm outta here. This is c. Diddy of port charles. Peace.
Anna: Aw.
Robin: Oh, wow.
Anna: So good.
Robin: You thought that was touching?
Patrick: If you consider the source, it is. And i've got mac and maxie all lined up, ready to go.
Robin: Yeah, right. My uncle mac would never.
Patrick: Hmm.
Mac already agreed. Even he thinks you're being stubborn.
Robin: Now that's just mean.
Patrick: Maybe, but whatever works.
Sep 3, 2008 04:43
Nadine: Can you spare a word of advice about nikolas?
Elizabeth: I can try.
Nadine: I think i may have misinterpreted. For a guy like nikolas -- handsome, cultivated, sophisticated -- having a woman over for a four-course meal and dancing, that's like no big deal, right? Sort of more like a coffee date for a normal guy. So whereas the woman is swept off her feet, for someone like nikolas, it's just no big deal, right?
Nikolas: Elizabeth can't answer that question. Why don't you come right to the source?
Carly: This house is something. Wow.
Jax: Yeah, i was hoping you'd like it.
Carly: It doesn't really matter if i like it. It matters if your mother likes it.
Jax: Well, actually, we don't really have to consider my mother at all.
Carly: That's a little presumptuous, don't you think?
Jax: No, not really. It's ours.
Carly: It's ours?
Jax: Yeah, i put a bid on the property yesterday.
Carly: You want to move?
Jax: I know that you like it here, you know, but this is your house and i still feel like a visitor.
Carly: Jax, that's not true.
Jax: Well, i mean, it's just how i feel, you know? It's easy to be here when things are going well and it's just as easy to walk out when things are not going that well, you know, because it is -- it's your place. I want us to build a place together, you know, something that we are equally invested in.
Carly: A marriage isn't more likely to work because we build a house together.
Jax: No, i understand that. We still have a lot of work to do, and i'm committed to doing that. Besides, this place is too small. We need room for additional family members.
Maxie: Spinelli, do you think you could arrange a new identity for me, like working credit cards and everything?
Spinelli: I could, but i don't think that's the wisest course.
Jason: Nobody has to disappear.
Maxie: That's easy for you to say.
Jason: Ok, just hold on, maxie. You're very resourceful. You think faster on your feet than anybody, but can you keep your mouth shut when you have to?
Maxie: No, you don't understand. There's something about being in a room full of people with all eyes on me that makes my internal editor just fly out the window. I mean, i open my mouth and it's anybody's guess what's going to come out. Did you hear about my sister's memorial service? I planned on saying all these nice things about georgie, and i ended up just yelling at my mom and making her leave.
Jason: That's different from being on the witness stand.
Maxie: Yeah, i know. My life wasn't on the line at the memorial service, but it will be at court. And scott baldwin is going to be yelling at me and poking holes in every lie.
Jason: Ok, that's what you're missing. You don't have to lie. You just tell the truth as you know it. You don't volunteer any information. You don't give baldwin any more ammunition he doesn't already have, ok? You've told your story enough on record, it should be reflex by now. All you've got to do is say it again. Now, i know that you can do that.
Maxie: That sounds like a vote of confidence. Should i be flattered? Probably not.
Jason: All right, well, i'm going to get back to work. I'll stop by later.
Spinelli: Stone cold's advice is the path you should take.
Maxie: I know. I'm going to try.I really am. I just -- i'm terrified. I mean, what if i mess everything up?
Scott: Have you ever been a victim of a violent crime?
Juror: No, and i really hate this whole victimization of america. When did we stop taking responsibility and start blaming our misfortunes on external events?
Scott: We'll pass.
Ric: Have you ever served on a jury before?
Juror: Yeah, sent away some worthless mobster, name of graciola. He's pretty young. I'd nip him in the bud if i were you.
Ric: If you are chosen to serve on this jury, could you be objective?
Epiphany: Absolutely. I have to be every single day at my job. I'm a supervising nurse.
Ric: Do you know the defendant?
Epiphany: I know who he is.
Ric: And would that knowledge effect you positively or negatively during the course of this trial?
Epiphany: No, sir. I know what would be expected of me. And i would do my utmost best to perform my civic duty.
Ric: This juror is acceptable to the defense, your honor.
Scott: No objection.
Judge: Very well. Miss johnson, welcome aboard.
Scott: Would you please state your name for the record?
Edward: Edward quartermaine. And there's no way under God's green earth that i could serve on any jury.
Lulu: You know, we should be able to leave here soon.
Laura: Yeah, eventually.
Lulu: Aren't you anxious to go home now that you're getting better?
Laura: I'm pretty content to take it, you know, one day at a time. There's no reason to rush. What matters is right now, you know? Being here with you and out on this beautiful fall day and knowing that i've finally been some help to you.
Lulu: You, oh, my gosh, have been -- you ok?
Laura: Uh, yeah. I'm tired, that's all. It's ok. The doctor said this was going to happen. Can i -- do you mind if i just take a nap?
Lulu: No, gosh, not at all. I'll walk you to your room.
Laura: Oh, no, no. That's ok. You stay outside. You enjoy the fresh air, hmm?
Lulu: Ok.
Laura: Don't worry. I'll be back.
Lulu: How long have you been standing there? When did you get back? Did you find my dad?
Tracy: I just got here. How are you?
Lulu: Uh, good.
Tracy: Good. That was my standard answer, too. It covers a lot of territory.
Lulu, i went to find your father and i'd like to say i was successful, but i wasn't.
Lulu: Well, you don't have to bring my dad back. I really am ok.
Tracy: Why are you at shadybrook?
Lulu: You know, it's a lot better than where johnny is. He's on trial for a murder that i know he didn't commit. Scott baldwin's going to try and railroad him anyway and it's all my fault.
Tracy: Don't blame yourself.
Lulu: Really? Because johnny would've never gotten caught if he wasn't so desperate to get me help.
Tracy: Lulu, johnny's family is very powerful and they are going to take care of him. The only person you need totake care of is yourself.
Edward: You see, i'm not a well man because i -- i have a heart condition.
Scott: You look pretty healthy to me, edward.
Edward: Well, i can't afford not to. You see, image is everything in business. Did i tell you that i run an international corporation?
Scott: Mm-hmm.
Edward: I have thousands of employees depending on me, not to mention sole support of my family.
Scott: Really? Well, isn't your daughter-in-law monica, chief cardiologist at general hospital? And your daughter tracy, ceo at elq?
Edward: You're talking chump change. You have no idea the bills that i face. And serving on a jury would pose a real financial hardship not only on me --
scott: Financial hardship?
Edward: Well, yes.
Scott: How much money did you make last year just in interest?
Edward: I don't have to tell you that.
Scott: Yeah, you do.
Judge: Actually, mr. Quartermaine, you do.
Edward: That's outrageous, your honor --
scott: How much?
[Edward mutters]
scott: What? We didn't hear that figure.
Edward: One hundred million.
Scott: $100 Million in interest. Well, well, well.
Edward: Besides, i'm biased. I know that kid and i dislike him.
Judge: Mr. Quartermaine, i am losing my patience.
Scott: No more questions. Acceptable.
Edward: Hey. Hey, surely you're not going to agree with that boob. It's your duty to protect your client from potential landmines like me, and it's impossible for me to be objective about this young thug.
Ric: Look, i don't think we haveanything to worry about. We'll just roll the dice with quartermaine. He's full of bluster now, but i don't think he's going to really destroy lulu by convicting you.
Johnny: Maybe, but why do you think baldwin let him through in the first place?
Ric: He doesn't have any more exceptions.
Juror is acceptable, your honor.
Scott: Prosecution accepts.
Ric: The defense accepts this juror.
Scott: Accepts.
Ric: Accept.
Judge: I want to thank you in advance for your service. We will take the morning break, then reconvene for start of trial in 15 minutes.
Edward: I can't believe that i'm going to be locked up in this box with total strangers for an indefinite period of time.
Epiphany: You know what?
Edward: What?
Epiphany: You need to stop. A man like you who has benefited so much from what this country has to offer, and you're whining about participating in our justice system? You should be ashamed of yourself.
[Edward scoffs]
juror: Miss johnson? Or is it mrs.?
Epiphany: It's ms., And you can call me epiphany.
Juror: Well, you were about to leave this, epiphany. Ron price and i'm glad to meet you.
Epiphany: Hmm.
Nadine: You probably think i'm one of those people who babble on and on to any convenient warm body about stuff that should --
nikolas: No.
Nadine: Really be kept private.
Nikolas: No, not at all. I think you're terrific. I just wish that you would come to me with questions about me. And just to set the record straight, i had a great time last night and hope that we can do it again soon.
Nadine: If you're saying that just to be polite, don't bother.
Nikolas: Polite? Well, yeah, there's no doubt about that. I'm pathologically polite. I also have a low threshold for boredom. So i would never ask you to come back to my home if i didn't enjoy your company -- which i do very much. Have a nice day.
Carly: I want a baby with you, too, more than anything.
Jax: So what are we waiting for?
Carly: Ok, let's do it. Our new house -- i can hardly wait.
Jax: You mean it?
Carly: Yeah, i mean it. We're on our way back and we're going to be better than ever.
Maxie: Maybe jason's right. Maybe scott will be so focused on making johnny look guilty that he'll stick to the facts as he knows them, and i can get on and off the stand without ruining anything. I still wish jason would just threaten scott into oblivion, but --
spinelli: You know, i -- i fear stone cold's ruthless efficiency may have been compromised by unwise actions on my part.
Maxie: I thought i told you that whole jason-sasha affair was all in your head, spinelli.
Spinelli: No, i know that now. I just -- before i was struck by enlightenment, i'd already --
[knock at door]
elizabeth: Will you excuse us for a minute? I have to check his vitals.
Maxie: Yeah, i -- i should go. Feel better, ok?
Spinelli: Bye.
Maxie: Bye.
Spinelli: Fair elizabeth?
Elizabeth: Mm-hmm?
Spinelli: Have i inspired your anger?
Elizabeth: Why would you ask such a thing?
Spinelli: It was i who urged you to make forbidden contact with stone cold.
Elizabeth: Spinelli, you don't have to apologize. What happened last night is on me and jason -- no one else.
Jason: Whoever ran spinelli down and left him to die is gonna pay. I want you to look into it. I want you to see if it's tied to karpov -- the sooner the better.
Cody: I'll stay on it.
Jason: All right.
Cody: By the way, kate howard's assistant was here, clarice. She wanted a number for sonny's private island.
Jason: You know, that's for sonny's people to handle.
Cody: Exactly what i said.
Carly: Hey. Hi. I have the best news. Do you have time to hear?
Jason: Sure. Cody, get to the bottom of this for me.
Cody: I will.
Jason: Well, i haven't seen you smile that big in a long time. What happened?
Carly: Jax came home. My marriage isn't over.
Anthony: We got our plant on the jury, no problem. Not guilty verdict is in the bag.
Trevor: Tony, don't let anybody see you acting too cocky. We gotta play this straight all the way.
Anthony: What do you think i am, an idiot? If it comes out that the fix is in, it'll be from your fat mouth. And i'm warning you ahead of time, do not use my son's trial to sabotage your son or to get back at me for choosing ric as johnny's lawyer.
Trevor: Do you think that we could get through one glorious day without you insulting my integrity?
Judge: Bring in the jury.
[Tracy laughs]
[tracy scoffs]
alan: Don't look now, tracy, but you've got feathers around your mouth.
Tracy: Well, it's too delicious. Can you imagine how furious daddy is having to sit on a jury?
Alan: Trapped among the great unwashed day after endless day.
Tracy: I don't think i could've designed a more perfect torture and that's just the cake. The icing is that he already thinks that john zacchara is guilty. It only takes one.
Alan: Well, i have to agree with you, tracy. I think john zacchara's days are numbered.
Alexis: I'm a little surprised to see you here again.
Jax: Well, carly and i are back together. I moved back in, but that's temporary.
Alexis: What? Wait, back up a second. You're back together, but it's temporary?
Jax: The marriage is permanent, the location is going to change. I, uh, i put a bid in on a property yesterday and we're going to build a house.
Alexis: Oh.
Jax: Yes. And i was hoping that you could handle the transaction.
Alexis: Me?
Jax: Yeah, i have a bunch of corporate attorneys that could do it, but i trust you and i want to make sure it gets done right.
Alexis: I'm sorry. I can't do it.
Jax: I was afraid you might say that. It's not as if you don't have a job already.
Alexis: That's not the issue. You know that i would do anything for you, except i'm not going to participate in getting your heart broken again.
Carly: When jax told me that he was coming back home, he surprised me with plans for a new house. This man i thought only existed in fantasies, but he's real. Jax is all mine.
Jason: Well, i'm happy for you.
Carly: Hey, look. I really want to thank you for keeping me calm and steady.
Jason: All i did was pull you back when you wanted to play detective with karpov.
Carly: Yeah. I admit that was potentially very, very dangerous.
Jason: Potentially?
Carly: It was better than running back to sonny, and we both know that's exactly what would've happened. And that would've turned out bad for everyone. I am so grateful that jax does not know about the night i spent with sonny. We made it and nothing's going to tear us apart.
Max: Ok, we'll see you then. The boss and ms. Howard are on their way back from the island.
Diane: Fabulous. All right, now, after they get here, i will find some way to divert sonny while you take kate aside and you just tell her about sonny's limo sex with carly.
Max: I -- i can't do that.
Diane: You can't not do that.
Max: It's not even my business.
Diane: That's why i'm here, darling. I'm deputizing you.
Max: Are you going to feed me when i'm in the unemployment line?
Diane: It is not fair for kate to enter into a marriage with sonny without being in possession of all the facts. The woman has a right to make an informed decision.
clarice: Is kate back yet? I need to speak to her right away.
Judge: Before we proceed, i have further information for the jury. This is a case of murder with special circumstances. If you should find the defendant guilty, the prosecution is entitled to ask you to impose the death penalty.
Ric: Your honor, i -- i object. When did this become a capital murder case?
Scott: When you weren't looking. Eye for an eye -- deal with it, lansing.
Ric: I object, your honor. This is a lie perpetrated by mr. Baldwin to avenge the death of his own son.
Anthony: You're not going to kill my boy.
Judge: Order! Another outburst like that and i'll have you all brought up on contempt. Mr. Lansing.
Ric: Your honor, logan hayes was not a member of the police department.
Scott: Your honor, the victim was a police officer and i can prove it
Sep 4, 2008 04:40
Carly: If spinelli is coming home from the hospital today, you could at least find food that he likes, not whole wheat bread, celery and lettuce.
Jason: Wh -- what do you care what spinelli eats?
Carly: Well, if it were me, i would want, like, frozen pizzas, potato chips, cheesy snacks.
Jason: Ok, well, now that you and jax are back together, maybe you should worry more about what jax wants.
Carly: You don't have to worry about that.
Jax is going to be my number one priority.
Jax: I thought i caught carly in a lie. The fact is, she was set up.
Alexis: Jax, i think that's symptomatic of a bigger issue in your marriage, which is one of trust.
Jax: No, i do trust carly. She is as committed in this relationship as i am.
Alexis: I know you do. There is a dynamic that exists between sonny and carly, and i think you need to take a look at it. It -- it leaves destruction in its wake, and i -- we just hate to see you become another casualty.
Sonny: Uh, we were not expecting a welcoming committee.
[Diane laughs]
max: Hey, mr. C., Mrs. Howard.
Diane: "Ms." Howard.
Clarice: Kate, sorry. There is something you need to know about.
Judge aroyo: Order. Another outburst like that, and i'll have you all brought up on contempt. Mr. Lansing?
Scott: Your honor, the victim was a police officer, and i can prove it.
jax: Alexis, your experience with sonny and carly is different to mine.
Alexis: I know. I know that's true, and i am biased. I was there the night that michael got shot. I watched them go at each other for 24 hours. It was ugly and it was painful, but, more importantly, it was a display of their love-hate relationship.
Jax: Carly has put all that behind her now.
Alexis: I love you, and you deserve someone who loves you completely, jax. And i'm not sure that carly will ever be capable of that.
Jax: You think i haven't had that conversation with myself a thousand times? As long as carly is committed to this relationship, and i know that she is, i trust her.
Carly: Jax had to know that he was worth fighting for -- and he is. You know, when i came down the steps and i saw jax and logan having breakfast, it was -- it was amazing. It was like having a real family, and that's all i've ever wanted.
Jason: I'm glad you got it.
Carly: God knows sonny and i tried to make it work. You know, and there were times when we were happy, but i've never felt the peace that i felt when jax came home today. And i know that i have been self-destructive, but i don't want to live that way anymore. I love jax. I love him so much. So, i wish sonny all the happiness with kate. I loathe her, and i despise her, but jax knows she lies. He doesn't trust her anymore. So, for me, kate howard is no longer a problem. Bye.
Kate: Does this important information affect the future of "crimson"?
Clarice: Well, no -- not exactly, but --
kate: Does it affect the issue going to print?
Clarice: No, but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't --
kate: Ok, then. It can wait. As far as i'm concerned, i'm still on vacation. Now prove you're savvy and know when to leave. I promise, clarice, i'll be all yours as soon as i get to the office.
[Sonny murmurs]
diane: So --
[chuckles]
diane: How was the island?
Kate: Uh, it was lovely visiting a place that was so special to sonny.
Sonny: I let her win at the craps table.
Kate: You did not let me win. Don't you dare change your story. Is that what you're going to do?
Sonny: Yeah.
[Kate giggles]
diane: [Whispering inaudibly]
max: [Whispering inaudibly]
diane: Ok, so, sonny, there are a few business matters that we need to discuss.
Sonny: Diane, can you see that i'm busy.
Diane: I promise you just a moment of your time, and then you can get back to whatever --
sonny: No, no. Not now.
Diane: In fact, kate, uh -- max,
kate might like some -- some ice tea with limo -- lemon -- lemon on the -- on the terrace.
Max: I'm sure she's fine.
Diane: Yes, i'm sure you're sure that she's fine. But it's -- it's -- there's absolutely no time like the --
sonny: Not right now. Not now, diane, please. It's just -- it's --
diane: I respectfully disagree, sonny. This is -- this is the perfect time.
Lainey: How are you, lulu?
Lulu: Good. Glad to see my brother. I was just sitting here, enjoying the sun.
Lainey: Good.
Nikolas: It's good to see that you're outside.
Lulu: You can ask her. He wants to know if it's a good sign, my -- me being out here.
[Lainey laughs]
nikolas: Something like that.
Lulu: You can relax. I'm starting to see that this place could be good for me.
Lainey: Yes, lulu's making progress. If she keeps up with her therapy, she'll be out of here before you know it.
Nikolas: Good.
Lainey: I'll see you at four.
Lulu: Yeah, ok.
Nikolas: Thanks, lainey.
Nikolas: You know, you really did scare the hell out of me.
Lulu: Well, i scared myself, too, but i'm doing better now.
Nikolas: Any particular reason?
Lulu: Being close to mom has meant everything to me.
Ric: Your honor, permission to approach?
Judge aroyo: Mr. Lansing, i realize that you were not aware of the victim's undercover status. If you would like time to consult with your client, in light of the fact that this is now a death penalty case, i'll allow it.
Ric: Your honor, what mr. Baldwin is suggesting is that logan hayes was a police officer at the time of his death. He is not a police officer, never has been.
Scott: I can supply documentation that --
ric: Oh, forged documents, i'm sure.
Scott: Now that's a serious allegation, lansing.
Ric: Well, i think that the special prosecutor might be misled.
Logan hayes was not a police officer, your honor.
Logan hayes was, indeed, an ex-soldier who was dishonorably discharged.
Scott: Oh, that's just great. Smear the reputation of a man, a soldier, who served for this country.
Judge aroyo: The court is satisfied that logan hayes was working undercover for the pcpd at the time of this death. As such, his death would meet the parameters of murder with special circumstances.
Ric: Your honor, i request a continuance to verify the authenticity --
judge aroyo: Denied. I have already made my ruling on the victim's status. Do you want time for a recess with your client or not?
Ric: Yes, your honor, i would like a recess.
Ric: I'm sorry, john. I don't know how baldwin managed it, but you're literally fighting for your life.
Maxie: You know, you don't have to help us out. I could take spinelli, if you want.
Elizabeth: Just doing my job, maxie. Ok, spinelli, when you get home, lots of rest, nothing strenuous.
Maxie: But he doesn't have to stay in bed, right?
Elizabeth: No, he can get up, just for short periods of time.
Maxie: I wonder what's taking jason so long. He was supposed to pick up spinelli.
Elizabeth: I'm sure he'll be here.
Maxie: It's just inconsiderate to keep him waiting while he's not feeling good.
Spinelli: Perhaps he's being delayed by the slavic --
elizabeth: I said he'll be here.
Maxie: Oh, don't jump spinelli's throat just because you don't like the idea of jason dating someone else.
Nikolas: So, what would mom have anything to do with you feeling better?
Lulu: Being able to see her and hold her hand. It's put things into perspective.
Nikolas: Well, i thought that's what you were afraid of. That you'd end up like her.
Lulu: Well, not anymore I've managed to deal with what happened to logan.
Nikolas: Good. I mean, yeah, i guess i know what it feels like to be the one who survived. I mean on -- on one hand you want to be able embrace life. On the other, trying to figure out why you were chosen to live and not someone else. There's no real logical explanation for it. And even if there was, it doesn't change what happened, you know?
Lulu: Yeah.
Nikolas: You've just got to live your life, i guess, and move on.
Lulu: Well, i'll always be sorry about what happened to logan. But how i deal with it, how i live my life from here on out, depends on johnny.
Judge aroyo: Court will adjourn for a brief recess. 10 Minutes, counselors.
Ron: I don't know about serving on a death penalty case.
Edward: Well, i think johnny zacchara is guilty as sin, but i don't know that lethal injection is the answer.
Epiphany: The trial hasn't even started yet. We need to wait and see what happens.
Ron: Ms. Johnson is right.
Epiphany: My -- you can call me epiphany.
[Gasps]
edward: Oh, my good -- allow me, madam.
Mrs. Albright: Oh, thank you. I'm -- i must be just very nervous. I -- i -- what a difficult decision.
Edward: Well, you're only one of 12. Don't worry. 12, After all.
Mrs. Albright: Thank you.
Anthony: Look at them, trev. All those people are going to pay if my son if found guilty.
Trevor: Your son is not going to be found guilty, and you know it.
Ric: All right, look. I have enough evidence that will create reasonable doubt and get you acquitted, but, at this very moment, you are literally betting your life. You can enter a plea. You can get a reduced sentence and a guarantee that you are not going to be put to death.
Johnny: How long?
Ric: Five years. They're going to give you 10. Could be either.
Johnny: If i even spend a day in jail, my father is going to implode, and then he's going to go after every single person whoever so much as served me a cup of coffee. No plea bargain.
Alan: So, are you happy now?
Tracy: It's not my fault that baldwin decided to forge documents so it looks like his son was a cop.
Alan: You said you wanted lulu away from johnny at any cost. Does that include his death?
Tracy: Shut up.
[Tracy clears throat]
ric: John, i have a strong defense, but there is compelling evidence against you. The further we get into this trial, the harder it is going to be to get a plea bargain.
Johnny: Well, that's not an option for you or me. My father is not going to accept anything less than an acquittal, and if an acquittal doesn't happen, you are going to be the first in his line of fire. Now you can bail and turn this case over to trevor if you want. I'm not going to hold it against you.
Ric: No, no, i'm -- i'm a better lawyer than my father. You're going to need my help.
Jerry: Mmm. Hello, darling. Well, apparently i've missed you more than you've missed me.
Alexis: So? I'm just distracted
Jerry: What's wrong?
Alexis: Did you know that jax and carly have reconciled?
Jerry: Yes, and i say we should follow their example. So come home to me, and stop playing hard to get.
Alexis: Ok, maybe i will, but you have to help me first.
Jerry: What -- what are you talking about? Jax and carly are great together. She's perfect for him.
Alexis: That's what jax thinks, too. And as many misgivings as i might have about you, i do know that you love your brother. So i want you to go talk to him and be a sounding board to him.
Jerry: Mm-hmm.
Alexis: Because he is about to invest his whole heart in this again, and i don't want to see him head for a fall.
Jerry: Mm-mm.
Diane: You are -- you really need to take a look at the contract, sonny, because the exporter is trying to lay the taxes off on you. And that is not the agreement, as you explained it to me.
Sonny: Diane, if kate can put off what she has to do until she gets to the office, i can do the same. There's much more important things in life than work.
Diane: Absolutely. But the world did not stop turning while you were away, and there is much to catch up on.
Kate: Ok, well, clearly diane is not going to go until you handle this. So, don't mind me.
Sonny: No, no, no. You're not going to go now, because that's not right.
Kate: Well, actually, i think it's just going to go a lot faster if i'm not here to distract you.
Max, i would love that ice tea.
Diane: Oh, and max will get it for you. Here you go.
Max: Yeah, i'll bring it out.
Kate: Ok.
[Sonny clears his throat]
sonny: What is going on?
Diane: Not a thing. Not -- we are just making plans for, you know -- for later.
Sonny: Well, what do you got to show me? Let's go. I've got things to do.
Kate: Thank you, max.
Max: So you enjoyed the island?
Kate: I did.
Max: Yeah, sometimes when you're down there with the tropical breezes blowing, and all your problems a million miles away, the real world can just seem like a dim memory.
Kate: That was very poetic and very true. That island... You know, max, i don't think i can remember taking a vacation and turning off my cell phone and my pda.I should really do that more often.
Max: So now you're back in the real world.
Kate: Yeah, so much to do.
Max: And you and the boss are as in love as ever?
Kate: More.
Max: Have you really given mrs. C. Enough thought? Oh --
[chuckles nervously] Whoops, um...
Spinelli: Truly, maximista needn't jump to the jackal's defense. He receives more attention than his worthiness would indicate.
Maxie: Don't underestimate your worthiness. If you want to talk about jason dating some slavic seductress or anyone else, you shouldn't be worried about hurting someone's overly sensitive feelings.
Elizabeth: Just try being civil. Or, better yet, not say anything at all.
Spinelli: Ok, please, ladies. Oh.
Maxie: Finally.
Spinelli: The jackal is happy to see stone cold at any hour.
Elizabeth: I was just telling spinelli that he needs rest and quiet.
Maxie: But he doesn't have to stay in bed.
Jason: We're all set.
Spinelli: The jackal is grateful for all the trouble that stone cold has gone to.
Maxie: Well, wait. How -- how are you going to take care of spinelli by yourself?
Jason: I'll manage.
Maxie: Ok.
Diane: The wording is -- is -- is very ambiguous -- is very ambiguous here. It's -- it's "can be," you know, instead of "will be."
Sonny: Are you telling me this couldn't wait?
Kate: Ok, first of all, carly, she is now mrs. J. -- Not mrs. C. Ok? And, secondly, you might want to just take this whole subject up with sonny. Ok, max, look, i am fond of you, and clearly you were worried. So let me just put your mind at ease, all right? Sonny and i took this holiday in part to put any kind of concerns on the table, and it is safe to say that this issue of carly has been put to rest.
Max: Oh, that's terrific. Really. You're going to be the new mrs. C. And no one will be the wiser. I -- no one meaning everyone will live happily ever after. As much as that's possible. I hope. It's all good.
Kate: Ok, thank you, max.
Sonny: Oh, don't mind me. What's going on here?
Kate: Max was just saying how happy he is for us.
Clarice: Yes, i know ms. Howard wants to set up a wedding cake tasting, but can we put a pin in it for now? Ms. Howard has some important decisions to make. I'll call you back when we set another date. Hello, jax.
Kate hasn't come into the office yet.
Jax: Oh, ok. Well, when you see her, tell her i dropped by.
Clarice: Of course.
Jax: Ok.
Clarice: Is there something else?
Jax: Yeah, actually. I don't appreciate the part you played in setting up my wife. I understand your first loyalty is to kate, but it just makes things a little awkward. It makes it hard for me to trust you again.
Clarice: I'm sorry, but i do owe everything to kate. And carly is not as innocent as you'd like to think.
Jax: Excuse me? You going to clarify that?
Lulu: Johnny's trial started today. I haven't been able to stop thinking about him.
Nikolas: Lulu, look. Now, i know that you think nothing will ever feel right until you can be with him again, but for your own sake don't make him, or really anyoneelse for that matter, your reason for living or holding onto your sanity.
Lulu: You say that as if i can control it.
Nikolas: Well, you could if you focus on your recovery.
Lulu: Ok, now i know -- i know that getting well is -- starts with me. You know, like drugs and alcohol, you can't do it for anybody else, but part of my recovery is about being honest. And i would be lying if i didn't say johnny is on my mind all the time, trial or no trial.
Lucky: Hey, guys.
Lulu: Hey.
Lucky: Hey, you look fantastic.
Lulu: Well i -- i'm stronger than yesterday.
Lucky: Well, that's great. Do you need anything? Maybe something from home --
lulu: How is johnny's trial going?
Scott: Your honor, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, you are looking at a blood-thirsty killer. A son of the infamous gangster, born into violence, raised in violence, and destined to wear the mantel of violence.
Ric: Special prosecutor baldwin would like for you to believe that the son should pay for the sins of the father. The only problem with that is john zacchara isn't a criminal.
Scott: John zacchara saw logan hayes as an obstacle, and what do all mobsters do? They kill the obstacles, and then they just cover it up.
Ric: Logan hayes was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, a debilitating syndrome which often manifests itself in irrational and even psychotic behavior.
Scott: Logan hayes was a patriot. After serving in iraq, he decided what else could he do for the country. So he decided to become a police officer.
Ric: He became increasingly more angry and more violent, and he took this out on the one person that he felt was his competition. Logan hayes attacked john zacchara, an attack that was so relentless, one of the men was bound to wind up dead. John zacchara had no choice but to defend himself.
jason: Come on. The doctor gave you some pain meds.
Spinelli: Yeah, the jackal laughs at pain. Usually.
Jason: Who are you trying to impress, spinelli?
Spinelli: Stone cold scorns any reliance on pharmaceuticals.
Jason: Ok, you know what? I have my reasons. That's me, you're you. You're smart, you have a future. Why are you doing this? Why are out hanging out in alleys so you can get hit by cars?
Spinelli: Jackal p.I. Was attempting to gain vital intelligence for the master.
Jason: Yeah, i'm not worth risking your life on a stakeout. You're too good for that.
Spinelli: No. I'm a hopeless wimp, ok? Something that stone cold cannot comprehend because he is a paragon of manly prowess.
Jason: Ok, i want you to tell me something. Exactly what part of my life do you want?
Spinelli: You can't seriously ask that.
Jason: Is it the laws i've broken? Is it the jail time? Is it the people i hurt? The fact that i've got to keep everybody i care about at a distance?
Spinelli: There is much about stone cold's existence that's worth --
jason: Like people wanting to kill me? Is that what appeals to you?
Spinelli: Stone cold has to look no further than right in --
jason: I use fear and intimidation on a daily basis. I mean, you don't -- you don't even see it. You're already a better person than i am.
Sep 4, 2008 04:41
Kate: You know, i'm actually feeling a little guilty about the way i kicked clarice out, so i think i should go up to the office.
Diane: Kate, i'm sure you're probably both very hungry after that long flight. Don't we still have some leftover pasta in the fridge?
Max has become quite the chef.
Kate: You know what, diane? It's ok. I really couldn't. Thank you, though. It's not going to be long.
Sonny: Ok, i'll tell you what i'm going to do, all right? I want to pick you up in the speedboat, we're going to come home across the harbor. You love that?
Kate: I love that.
Sonny: You love that?
Kate: Mm-hmm.
Sonny: All right. Bye.
Kate: Bye.
Sonny: What the hell is going on?
Diane: Nothing.
Max: Nothing, nothing.
Sonny: Ok, if this is about me and kate getting married, i don't want to hear it. If you don't like it, i'm accepting resignations. No? Good. Because, as you can obviously see, we are very much in love and i would very much appreciate it if the people that we care about gave us a little bit of support. Now, we are happy. We are getting married. End of story.
Lucky: I remember when i was staying here, leaving my room voluntarily --
lulu: Do you know how awful it feels when you hide things from me? It's like you don't trust me enough to tell me the truth.
Lucky: It's not about trust.
Lulu: All right, nikolas, can you please give me an update?
Nikolas: Lulu, don't play us off of each other.
Lulu: Well, the difference is you respect my decisions and my feelings. Lucky, on the other hand, thinks i'm a hysterical kid who doesn't know what's good for her.
Lucky: Lulu, we both want you to get well.
Lulu: Then tell me the truth. Something happened.
Nikolas: Lucky, whatever it is, it's best she hear it from you.
Lucky: Scott claims he has evidence that logan was acting as an undercover cop.
Lulu: What? That's crazy. Scott wanted logan to be a cop, but logan wasn't interested.
Lucky: I know, scott has proof.
Nikolas: Probably forged, not that it really matters. But listen, if logan really was a cop, that makes his killing murder with special circumstances, right?
Lucky: He's right. If he gets convicted, he could get the death penalty.
Scott: The prosecution calls assistant coroner, robert banner. Dr. Banner, how long have you been a coroner? Dr. Banner: Three years in port charles, but ten years before that in buffalo.
Scott: So, when you say that logan hayes had been dead for two hours when you found him outside the clinic, is that more than an educated guess?
Dr. Banner: That's right.We can pinpoint the time of death between six and nine p.M.
Scott: What was the cause of death?
Dr. Banner: The victim died of a single stab wound, probably from a large kitchen knife.
Ric: Is this the kind of knife that killed logan hayes?
Dr. Banner: It's possible.
Ric: Uh, how about this one?
Dr. Banner: That could be it, too.
Ric: Really? Well, this is from my kitchen. And this is from the port charles police department lunch room. Now, i have to ask you, dr. Banner, isn't it possible that there are thousands of kitchens that have the exact same kind of knife matching the one that killed logan hayes?
Dr. Banner: Yes.
Ric: Yes. No more questions, your honor.
Judge aroyo: Mr. Baldwin, next witness.
Scott: I call detective david harper.
Spinelli: The jackal appreciates the master's heartening pep talk. While he is flattered by the compliments offered, he still feels compelled to point out that he remains deficient in all facets of manly prowess.
Jason: I lost michael this year. I basically lost sonny. You're one of the few remaining friends i have left. Look, i'm not going to tell you what to do, but selfishly, i don't want you to die, especially doing something stupid like surveillance.
Spinelli: Yeah, but that's a skill that i wish to cultivate, along with a greater ease and accuracy with firearms and maybe even general proficiency in martial --
jason: Yeah, but there's nothing manly about getting shot at or carrying a gun. Why can't you learn to trust yourself the way i trust you?
Lulu: There must be a way to prove that scott is lying.
Lucky: Judge wasn't interested.
Lulu: Ok, scott wants revenge for logan. He's not going to be happy until
johnny is dead, too.
Nikolas: Maybe you could still appeal.
Lulu: Johnny is a zacchara. He's not going to last a week in prison.
Lucky: And his family will protect him. The best lawyer money can buy.
Lulu: I have to testify.
Nikolas: No, how -- of course, absolutely not.
Lucky: Scott will twist everything you say.
Nikolas: The way to help john is to get well.
Lulu: Ok, you know what? Can you -- will you just see johnny for me and tell him that i love him and i believe in him?
Nikolas: Of course i will.
Lucky: Lulu, try not to worry. You need to save every ounce of strength for yourself.
Lulu: Johnny is on trial because of me.
jerry: Hello, little brother. You busy?
Jax: No. Actually, i wanted to show you something.
Jerry: Is that the new house? Alexis told me you had big plans. Nice.
Jax: You still hanging out with her, huh?
Jerry: Well, she's entirely devoted to you. I don't know how comfortable i am with that.
Jax: If she's asked you to persuade me that my relationship with carly will never work, you can save your breath.
Jerry: Do you know how annoying it is that she's so territorial when it comes to you?
Jax: Oh, really? Well, that's because we want what's best for each other. Sometimes we just disagree on what that is.
Jerry: Well, you see, alexis is as misguided by carly being bad for you as you are about me being bad for alexis. But, as your older brother, i'm here to tell you that carly is the best thing that will happen to you.
Carly: Hey, tim, good job with brunch yesterday.
Tim: Oh, thanks, mrs. Jacks.
Carly: Have you seen mr. Jacks?
Tim: I haven't seen him yet.
Carly: Oh, thanks.
Tim: Sure.
Sonny: Carly.
Carly: Hey. If you're looking for kate, she's probably up in her office.
Sonny: No, no, i'm looking for you.
Carly: Any particular reason why?
Sonny: I just got back from the island. And i took kate.
Carly: It's pretty there this time of year.
Sonny: It brought up a lot of stuff. Listen, it's time for you and me to make this right.
Spinelli: What is this nourishment you bring?
Jason: Tomato soup and some crackers.
Spinelli: The jackal's well-being is generally dependant on large quantities of orange soda and barbeque chips.
Jason: Yeah, maybe you should lay off the junk for a few days.
Spinelli: Aw, considering what the jackal went through at the hands of medical personnel poking and prodding and meals consisting of large amounts of brightly colored yet flavorless gelatin, it seems like a harmless pick-me-up would do me wonders. You know, something to lift my spirits and carry me on the wings of bliss to a speedy recovery.
spinelli: What?
Maxie: Oh, good. This stuff weighs a ton. And could you be really careful with this stuff? It's my hair products. Hi!
Spinelli: Hey. What an unexpected surprise.
Jason: Um, wait, what is this? Why all these bags? Well, someone has to stay here to take care of spinelli.
Laura: Honey? You look upset.
Lulu: Every time things start to get better, they get worse again.
Laura: I saw you out here with your brothers. Is it too much for me to ask you to try to keep that secret?
Lulu: Lucky and nikolas would be so happy if they knew about you, but i understand why you don't want them to know.
Laura: Then, something else is bothering you? Is it logan?
Lulu: In a way. Johnny's murder trial started today, and the d.A.'s Office --
Lulu: It doesn't matter. There's nothing you can do --
laura: It does matter. I can tell it matters a lot to you. Are you trying to protect me from something? Please, don't do that. I'm your mother. Talk to me.
Lulu: Scott baldwin forged some document so that it looked like logan was an undercover cop, which means if johnny is convicted, he'll be facing the death penalty in my place.
Det. Harper: The evidence indicated that the victim was murdered elsewhere and his body dropped at the clinic.
Ric: And on what do you base your conclusion?
Det. Harper: My experience as a homicide detective.
Ric: Ok. So, in fact, elsewhere could mean anywhere within a three-hour drive of port charles, is that correct?
Det. Harper: Or three blocks.
Ric: Well, for example, it could have been, say, a botched robbery or a gang killing?
Det. Harper: As long as the gang member drives a late model, high end sedan with matching carpet fibers.
Ric: So, in fact, in your experience, detective, in homicide, if a person with severe stab wounds were to be dropped at a free clinic, wouldn't you conclude that the person who dropped them there in the first place was trying to get them medical help or save their life?
Det. Harper: The victim had already been dead for at least two to three hours.
Ric: Well, yes, but you don't have any evidence that shows that my client killed logan hayes deliberately or otherwise. No proof that shows he had intent.
Det. Harper: We don't have an eyewitness, no.
Ric: No more questions, your honor.
Judge aroyo: You may step down, detective.
Anthony: He let him off the hook.
Trevor: No. Rich is doing better than i expected.
Edward: This is a waste of time. Zacchara killed logan. Why don't we just find him guilty and move on?
Judge aroyo: Juror number two, please save your conversations for the jury room.
Edward: Well, we're all entitled to our own opinions.
Judge aroyo: Not until all the evidence has been presented. Do i need to go over the jury rules with you yet again.
Edward: I'll thank you not to patronize me, judge.
Judge aroyo: You can be quiet or i'll send you to lockup on contempt and replace you with an alternate. Mr. Baldwin, call your next witness.
Scott: The state calls claudia zacchara.
Bailiff: Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Jax: I know that things can be complicated with carly. Sometimes the things i love about her are the things that drive us apart.
Jerry: Well, i was wondering how many times you can survive that.
Jax: She needed to show me that we are equally committed and i have no doubt that we are.
Sonny: We noticed the sea shell collection.
Carly: Do you remember the first time we took michael shell hunting? He was determined to find the biggest and best shell. He had his eyes glued to the sand.
Sonny: Yeah, he walked backward in the surf and then a wave just kind of knocked him down.
Carly: Yeah. Thank God you were there tosave him.
Sonny: I should have packed up those shells up, and just -- right after the divorce and sent them to you.
Carly: Why?
Sonny: Well, i mean --
carly: No, those shells belong on the island. That's where the boys and i found them.
Sonny: We had fun. You know, we had our two sons there and i appreciate all the times you saved me.
Carly: You saved me, too. So, um, maybe in the end, that makes us even. I want you to know that i wish you the best. I really do.
Sonny: Why the change of heart?
Carly: Because i love jax, and i had to lose him to find out how much he means to me and how perfect he is for me. So, i want the same for you. If kate is the woman who is going to put a smile on your face, then i wish you nothing but happiness.
Kate: Well, actually all the planning i've done for the wedding is just falling into place. It's as if the angels are looking down on me.
Clarice: Not that you're superstitious.
Kate: No, i'm so excited that you're coming to the wedding. Oh, i'm sure by the time it rolls around i'll be a complete mess. No -- why don't you just talk to clarice. She can make all the arrangements for the hotel. Ok, bye-bye. Sorry. There's one more thing you have to do. You have to arrange a block of rooms for all the out-of-town guests, ok?
Clarice: I'll do whatever you want, kate.
Kate: So, i'm here, as promised. If you still needed to talk to me, i'm all yours.
Clarice: Kate, you know i love you.
Kate: Clarice? You are not quitting. You are not. Did giselle offer you a raise?
Clarice: What? No, of course not. My loyalty is to you. And that's why i have to say this.
Kate: Oh, clarice, what -- what's wrong?
Clarice: I don't want to see you hurt, ever. But i know you, and you'd rather know about something like this than be left in the dark.
Kate: Ok, um, like what?
Clarice: When you were on the island, i went to drop the portfolio for the museum shoot off at sonny's. Diane and max didn't realize i was there, and i heard them talking. Now, i promise you, i listened very carefully. I would never come to you unless i was absolutely certain.
Kate: About what, clarice?
Clarice: Back in may, when michael corinthos was shot, sonny and carly had sex.
Sep 5, 2008 04:48
Maxie:Looks like I got here just in time. You need to -- spinelli, this isn't even a real blanket. When was the last time this was washed anyway, and where's your orange soda?
Spinelli: Stone cold advised me to drink water instead of high fructose --
maxie: Of course you're going to drink water, but a little bit of orange soda and some potato chips aren't going to hurt your spleen, or where your spleen used to be, especially after all that icky hospital food and those tests.
Jason: What makes you think you can bring all your junk over here and stay?
Maxie: I told you.
Spinelli needs me.
Kate: I want to be certain about what you said, so i'm going to repeat it back to you, word for word. Sonny and carly had sex in may.
Clarice: Yes.
Kate: Mm-hmm, and you overheard max and diane discussing this.
Clarice: When i went to drop offthe "crimson" mock-ups at sonny's.
Kate: I want you to tell me everything they said, word for word.
Jax: You know, you actually gave me good advice. Possibly for the first time ever, you didn't tell me to work things out with my wife, so thank you.
Jerry: Thank you? Oh, my God. Well, i've heard the word so rarely, i hardly know what it means except i was right, and you were wrong, and you were a fool to walk away from carly.
Jax: Ok, now you're gloating.
Jerry: No, no, no, it's my prerogative as the deeply troubled older brother.
[Jerry laughs]
jax: You know, i'm happy, jerry. I'm going to spend the rest of my life with the most amazing woman in the world.
Sonny: I am really glad that you worked things out with jax.
Carly: We're looking at plans to build a house, you know.
Sonny: Well, you always wanted a house, you know. It's great.
Carly: I meant what i said. I really do wish you the best with kate.
Sonny: There's one thing. The night that we took michael to the institute --
carly: Try not to think about that.
Sonny: It was a big mistake, and we're both -- i know that we're both moving on. We need to just let go of that anger, and we need to let go of that night.
claudia: So help me, God.
Judge: Proceed, mr. Baldwin.
Johnny: Find some way to get her off the stand.
Ric: Be quiet, be calm, and don't stare at her.
Scott: Your honor, permission to treat ms. Zacchara as hostile.
Judge: On what grounds?
Edward: Isn't it obvious? She's a mob princess with no respect for the law or anything else.
Judge: Keep it up, juror two. This is your last warning. Permission denied, mr. Baldwin. I won't allow you to undercut a witness before you've even asked a question, and i don't appreciate your blatant attempts to sway the jury. Proceed.
Scott: What is your relationship with the defendant, john zacchara?
Claudia: I'm his sister.
Scott: Older or younger?
Claudia: Older.
Scott: Well, you look younger. Could you describe your relationship with your brother?
Ric: Objection, your honor. Relevance.
Judge: Overruled. Answer the question.
Claudia: We're close.
Scott: Did you know the victim, logan hayes?
Claudia: Not very well.
Scott: Well, in what context did you know him at all?
Claudia: Well, he was an attendant for my father.
Scott: Oh, yeah?
Claudia: Mm-hmm.
Scott: What was his -- his duties for your father?
Claudia: Oh, pushing his wheelchair, running errands, getting my father to the toilet. That type of thing.
Scott: Was there tension between logan and john?
Ric: Objection, your honor. Calls for speculation.
Judge: Be specific, mr. Baldwin.
Scott: Did you notice any tension between logan and john?
Ric: Same objection, your honor.
Claudia: I guess i wasn't around them enough to really --
scott: It's -- it's yes or no.
Ric: Your honor, he's badgering his own witness.
Judge: Allow ms. Zacchara to answer the question, then move on.
Claudia: I never saw any tension, no.
Scott: Did you notice that logan and john were in love with the same girl, lulu spencer?
Kate: I would like you to start from the beginning, please.
Clarice: I knew you'd want to look at the portfolio the instant you returned, so i went to sonny's to drop it off. I was on the terrace. Max and diane were arguing about sonny and carly and whether or not they should tell you that they had sex.
Kate: Is there any way that this -- that you could be mistaken, clarice?
Clarice: It happened the night that sonny and carly took their son to the aftercare facility in manhattan.
Clarice: They had sex in the back of a limo. Max wasn't surprised. I guess it happened all the time --
kate: Has it happened since then?
Clarice: I don't know, but diane and max seem convinced that sonny and carly will always end up together. Apparently, there's quite a history.
Kate: Look, is there any way that this could be a misunderstanding, clarice? I mean, after all, jax and i were caught in the back of a limo.
Clarice: There's no misunderstanding.
Kate: Why? Max wasn't driving them. How does he know?
Clarice: No, well, carly went to diane later for legal advice because she thought she might be pregnant with sonny's child.
Sonny: We both threatened to use that night against each other. Can we just agree to stop the -- the blackmail?
Carly: Absolutely. That night was a huge mistake, and it shouldn't poison the rest of our lives.
Sonny: No one needs to know about it. It would hurt a lot of people.
Carly: I agree. I need you to know something. I didn't plan to have sex with you that night. I wasn't trying to manipulate you into signing over michael and morgan. I wouldn't do that, sonny.
Sonny: We were just out of our minds with pain and grief. I got to tell you, i miss -- i miss michael a lot, especially on the island. I was thinking about him.I didn't want to get into it with kate, but -- are you going to see michael?
Carly: I see him all the time. Sometimes twice a week, sometimes more, you know. My mom sees him a lot. She's made friends with the nurses.
Sonny: Have you taken morgan to visit him?
Carly: No, i think he's too young. I -- i want to wait till he's older. It's hard on him. He misses michael, a lot, but you know, he's really gotten into karate, and he loves it. He's so excited about his birthday coming up.
Sonny: Can i send him a gift?
Carly: Of course. You know, he -- he asks about you all the time. He knows that you're staying away because you love him and you want to keep him safe. He knows how much you love him, sonny. I always make sure that he knows that.
Sonny: Thank you.
Carly: I'm not doing this -- ok, i'm not trying to keep him away from you to punish you or to cause you pain.
Sonny: Yeah. Yeah, i know.
Carly: You know, at some point, if -- if things calm down, we can work out a visit i think.
Sonny: Yeah, i'd love to see him. Just let me know.
Carly: I will. You know, sonny, um --
carly: We've made a lot of mistakes. Morgan isn't one of them. He's happy, and he has a good life, and i know that's what you want more than anything.
Sonny: Tell him happy birthday for me.
Carly: I will.
Robin: You can go back to work. I mean, i won't get all paranoid and just assume that you were standing around talking about me, so --
elizabeth: Actually, we are.
Robin: Really?
Elizabeth: Mm-hmm.
Robin: Ok, then can you all do me a favor and remember all those bonding times, shots at jake's, and just put it to rest?
Lainey: Oh, well, yeah. Well, that would be a lot easier if you would stay off the p.A.
Kelly: And -- and if you'd stop bringing it up every two seconds, it'd be easier.
Robin: How can i not bring it up?
Patrick is going around asking everyone to post a testimonial on the internet.
Nikolas: Ladies, is patrick around? He asked me to meet him here.
Robin: Oh, no. Really? You, too?
Patrick: Hey, nikolas, thanks for coming up. I just wanted to talk to you about something.
Maxie: Here you go. This is better. You need to rest, and don't worry if you feel kind of blue. That's standard post-op. They've done studies.
Spinelli: The jackal sincerely doubts any such feelings of doom are possible at this moment.
Maxie: Good, well, think positively, have some orange soda and potato chips, but don't go overboard, and i brought you this. My mom would give this to me because i was sick all the time when i was little. I don't know why i saved it, but you're supposed to ring it, and any time you do -- anything you need, i'll -- i'll come running.
Spinelli: Anything?
Maxie: Anything.
[Spinelli laughs]
jason: What -- what's with the bell?
Maxie: Well, what do you need?
Spinelli: I -- i was just illustrating our arrangement for stone cold.
Maxie: Oh, any time spinelli rings that bell, you need to get him what he needs.
Jason: Yeah, sure. Your luggage -- it's in the pink room.
Maxie: Oh, thank you. I'm going to go change into something more comfortable.
Spinelli: The jackal realizes that maximista's proximity poses a security threat, but in -- in -- you know, in my state, i'll be subdued. No secret shall spill from my dry and chapped lips, and also, you know, i sincerely hope that through my recuperation, maximista's feelings are influenced.
Jason: I think we've been in this situation before. I just don't want you to get your hopes up. That's all.
Spinelli: But see, that's where, you know, where the grasshopper and the master differ. Why abandon your heart to darkness?
Jason: Don't start the heart of darkness. Come on.
Spinelli: No, no, but seriously, what do any of us have, really have without hope?
[Knock on door]
[jason sighs]
mac: The hospital said spinelli was here. I'll make it quick. I just have a couple of questions about the hit and run.
Maxie: Hey, do either of you guys have a loofah?
Maxie: Hey, dad.
Mac: Put your clothes on. I'm taking you home.
Maxie: Why do you always jump to the worst possible conclusion? I mean, i can see how this would be a problem for you, but you don't have anything to worry about.
Mac: Maxie, you're standing in the living room of two criminals wearing a towel. Don't tell me there's nothing to worry about.
Maxie: Spinelli isn't a criminal, and i'm helping him recuperate.
Spinelli: Oh.
Maxie: Oh, what do you need?
Spinelli: I was just illustrating your point.
Maxie: Oh, remember when mom gave me that bell, and i used to ring it in the middle of the night because i was scared?
Mac: What? That -- that has nothing to do with this. Get him a nurse, will you? It's dangerous for you to be here, maxie.
Maxie: He saved my life.
Mac: He's the reason you were in that alley in the first place.
Maxie: Spinelli shoved me out of the way, and it cost him his spleen. I'm going to make sure he gets better. He would do the same for me.
Mac: I don't even want to think about what spinelli would do for you. Please put your clothes on. I'm taking you home.
[Bell rings]
mac: What?
Spinelli: I have -- i have a loofah.
Maxie: Oh!
Mac: That's it.
Spinelli: No, no, no, i'm happy to share. I -- i find the exfoliating to be stimulating.
Mac: You are not sharing a loofah with my daughter or anything else for that matter.
Maxie, please put your clothes on. Let's go. I'm taking you home.
Maxie: No, i made the decision for spinelli to have this surgery. I'm going to see it through. He needs me.
Spinelli: More than anything.
Maxie: See? I'm staying.
Spinelli: Oh, um, my loofah's in the shower in the pink room.
Maxie: Oh, thank you.
Mac: I swear, if anything happens to my daughter while she's here, that bell is going to find a new home in your colon.
[Door slams]
spinelli: The jackal fears the apoplectic father of maximista will not easily let this go.
Kate: I should have been with him. He needed me. Jax felt the same way about carly You saw us that night. It was the night of the "couture" gala.
Clarice: You seemed distracted.
[Kate laughs]
kate: Oh, clarice, it was dreadful, and i was actually trying to respect carly's feelings.
Clarice: Sonny loves you very much. I doubt seriously that he's been sleeping with carly this whole time.
Kate: Well, i don't know, clarice The point has been made repeatedly to me that sonny always goes back to carly, and this incident in the limo certainly proves that. The wedding -- if i call off the wedding -- oh, my -- the gossip will be brutal.
Clarice: There is a case to be made for simply letting this go. After all, you and sonny were not married at the time. You wouldn't be the first woman to just look the other way.
Kate: I don't know what to do.
Clarice: Kate, i'm so sorry. I seriously considered not even telling you.
Kate: No, no, no, clarice, don't be sorry. I just -- i need to think, ok?
Jax: I need a moment with kate.
Kate: Sure, jax. There's actually a lot we need to discuss.
Scott: Where were you on the night of the murder?
Claudia: I was in port charles.
Scott: Where were you at the time of the murder?
Claudia: I was in and out of my apartment all afternoon and all evening.
Scott: Your apartment? The one that you share with the defendant, john zacchara?
Claudia: That's correct.
Scott: Where was he on the night of the murder?
Ric: Objection, your honor. The witness is not responsible for her brother's whereabouts.
Judge: Be more specific, mr. Baldwin.
Scott: Did you see your brother, john zacchara, the night of the murder?
Claudia: Yes.
Scott: Was that before or after he murdered logan hayes?
Ric: Your honor.
Scott: No more questions.
Spinelli: Maximista's paying a terrible price for her friendship.
Jason: Mac is just worried.
Spinelli: Yeah, but to track her down, to barge in when all she wanted was to exfoliate.
Jason: He didn't track her down here. He came here to question you about the hit and run, which we have to go over again.
Spinelli: I know. The jackal should never have attempted to stakeout on his own, much less convince maximista to accompany him. It was -- it was reckless and -- and --
jason: Yeah, spinelli, i told you --
maxie: I hope you're not badgering him about the hit and run. He isn't supposed to get upset.
maxie: What do you need?
Spinelli: I need you. Please don't send her away.
Patrick: Robin loves me. I love her We're committed to being together. We're committed to raising our child together, so why won't she marry me?
Nikolas: I -- i don't know. I'm not an expert on robin, but maybe she thinks you just want to settle down because of the baby.
Patrick: Well, i mean, that's part of it, but i love robin. I'd marry her even if she wasn't pregnant.
Nikolas: Did you tell her that?
Patrick: I tried. She twists my words around, you know. Robin's the most challenging woman that i've ever metShe drives me crazy, but she also -- she makes me better, too.
Mac: Elizabeth, please page robin, stat.
Elizabeth: Ok.
Robin: Hey.
Mac: Hi, listen.
Robin: What happened?
Mac: Listen. Maxie just moved in with spinelli and jason morgan. I caught her standing in their living room, wearing a towel. Please talk to her before something terrible happens.
Sep 5, 2008 04:49
Sonny: What are you doing?:
Diane: I have been giving a great deal of thought to your ill-advised sexual encounter with carly.
Sonny: Put it out of your mind, 'cause carly and i just agreed that it never happened.
Diane: That is precisely the type of narcissistic and delusional arrangement you could only make with carly.
Sonny: You can call it whatever you want. I just -- i'm not having this discussion.
Diane: You need to tell kate.
Sonny: Ok, diane, that won't happen.
Diane: Ok, sonny, try to understand. Kate howard and i are obviously very different in many ways.
Sonny: I agree with thatcompletely.
Diane: But in many ways we have a great deal in common. We have both devoted our lives to our careers. We work very hard, and we don't apologize for it, and we have built very nice lives for ourselves, and sometimes sharing said life can be a huge and terrifying step.
Sonny: I understand that.
Diane: If you understood, then you would be honest with kate. She has put her heart, her career, her entire world on the line to marry you, sonny. Virtually everyone in her world has advised against it. So if this marriage fails, she's going to be a laughingstock.
Sonny: The marriage is not going to fail.
Diane: Kate is cosmopolitan.
Sonny: Right.
Diane: She's sophisticated. She understands how this world works, but right now, she is a woman in love, and there is nothing more shattering to a woman in love than infidelity.
Sonny: It was a one-time shot, ok? It will never happen again. Kate does not have to worry.
Diane: Meaning that you're going to be faithful or meaning that you won't get caught? I'm begging you, sonny, to be honest. If you cannot be faithful to kate, please don't marry her.
Jax: I want to clarify a few things now that carly and i are back together.
Kate: Certainly.
Jax: You know, carly always said that you were trying to break us up. If i would have listened to her, we'd all be a little better off right now, wouldn't we?
Kate: You know, jax, i'm not really in the mood to be scolded right now, so if you want to talk about business --
jax: Ok, well, i just want to set a few boundaries, ok? Like don't come over unannounced, and don't call unless it's an absolute emergency, and if you got a problem with carly, come talk to me about it.
Kate: Great, anything else?
Jax: Yeah, you've apologized to me, but you haven't apologized to my wife.
Kate: Oh. Oh, my God. You know, jax, you don't really know your wife at all.
Jax: I'd really appreciate it if you'd cut out the snide remarks.
Kate: I think that snide remarks are the least of your worries right now.
Jax: Really?
Kate: Yeah, really.
Jax: What do you mean by that?
Kate: Do you remember the night that sonny and carly took michael to the aftercare institute? Hmm? Do you remember that night, when we practically begged them to be with them, to help them, and we felt shut out? Well, i guess we had good reason, jax, because on the ride home, sonny and carly had sex.
Judge: Mr. Lansing, your witness.
Ric: I have no questions at this time, your honor, but i reserve the right to recall this witness.
Judge: Fair enough. Ms. Zacchara, you may step down now.
Judge: Next witness, please?
Scott: The prosecution calls nadine crowell.
Bailiff: Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?
Nadine: Yes.
Scott: Where do you work?
Nadine: I'm a floor nurse at general hospital.
Scott: Is that your only job?
Nadine: No, i also work at the emily quartermaine free clinic on van ness.
Scott: Where were you the night of the murder?
Nadine: That sort of sounds like you think i did it.
Judge: Just answer the question, ms. Crowell.
Nadine: Oh, i was at the clinic.
Scott: Were you alone?
Nadine: No, nikolas was there, nikolas cassadine. He owns the clinic. He hired me.
Ric: Objection, your honor. He's deliberately allowing the witness to go off topic.
Judge: Move it along, mr. Baldwin.
Scott: Did you find logan hayes's body that night?
Nadine: Yes, i did.
Scott: Where did you find it?
Nadine: Right outside the door of the clinic.
Scott: Did you see or hear anything when logan's body was dumped on the steps at the clinic?
Nadine: Uh, i heard a car drive off.
Scott: Did you see the car?
Nadine: It was dark.
Scott: Did you see who was driving the car?
Nadine: If i didn't see the car, how could i have seen who was driving?
Scott: Well, didn't you see that guy throw logan's body from the car?
Nadine: I already told you. I saw a car pull away, but i did not see the driver.
Scott: Ok, well, let's just start from the beginning.
Ric: Objection, your honor. Argumentative.
Judge: Tone it down, mr. Baldwin.
Scott: Tell the court what happened that night.
Nadine: Sure. I was working late at the clinic, checking through meds. Nikolas was working in the back. Um, i heard a thud. Sounded sort of like someone had fallen up against the door. I called out for nikolas, but, before he came to meet me, i opened the door and found the body.
Scott: You mentioned nikolas cassadine. He owns the clinic, right?
Ric: Objection, relevance.
Scott: Well, the witness brought it up. I don't see why i can't pursue it.
Judge: Objection overruled.
Scott: Nikolas cassadine is lulu spencer's half-brother, right?
Judge: Get where you're going, mr. Baldwin.
Scott: You like nikolas, don't you?
Judge: You know better, mr. Baldwin.
Scott: Well, i mean, he would really be impressed if you were to help lulu's boyfriend with your testimony. He might like you back, huh?
Ric: Objection, your honor.
Nadine: Pardon my french, mr. Baldwin, but that's a pile of horse-pucky.
Maxie: You have to tell me, spinelli. Which one's more comfortable? This way or --
jason: Whoa, hey, leave him alone. Leave him alone. What are -- what are you doing?
Maxie: Well, he can't lay flat on his back all day. He's going to get pneumonia.
Jason: You're going to pop out his stitches doing that.
Maxie: Oh, my god, spinelli. I am so sorry. Maybe -- maybe you should just stay how you are.
Spinelli: Ok.
Maxie: Oh, here.
maxie: Look. Mm-hmm.
Robin: Hello.
Maxie: Oh, God. Let me guess, mac sent you to try and convince me i need to go home?
Robin: Is that a possibility?
Maxie: What is wrong with you guys? I have to stay here to take care of spinelli.
Robin: Aw, how are you feeling?
Spinelli: Please let her stay.
robin: Ok, don't worry about it. We'll work it out. Can i talk to you for a second?
Maxie: Yeah. You should sleep or something.
Robin: You're keeping track of his fever, right?
Maxie: Yeah, every two hours. And jason's not here all the time. He can't do it by himself. Why can't mac just understand i'm trying to do something unselfish with my life for once and just be happy? You get it, right? You're kind of the most rational person i know.
Carly: Oh, i thought i wasn't going to be getting these.
carly: Hey, max.
Max: Hey, mrs. C. How are you?
Carly: Good. Come in, please, please.
Max: Thank you.
Carly: So, how are you?
Max: Good, thanks. Wow, what's this?
Carly: Oh, shells from the island. I wasn't supposed to be getting them, but i guess sonny forgot that he had the staff send them. I guess his mind's on the wedding right now.
Max: Yeah -- yeah, well, boss does have a lot on his mind right now.
Carly: You ok?
Max: I need to ask your advice, mrs. C.
Carly: Is this about diane?
Max: Not exactly.
Carly: Ok, have a seat. What's up?
Max: I need to know what you want me to do. Kate and the boss are about to get married, so i -- if kate knew that you and the boss had relations that night in the back of the limo, she wouldn't marry the boss. So, maybe it would be better if it -- you know, if the truth just came out. Especially if, in your hearts, you and the boss want to get back together.
Carly: Ok, um.
Sonny and i -- we have let go. We have, and i am so sorry you heard us fighting about that night in the limousine. I'm really sorry about that.
Max: Yeah, so am i.
Carly: I don't want you to worry about it anymore. Sonny and i talked about the situation. It's over. It was a really bad mistake, and nobody ever has to know about it, max.
Sonny: I don't know what max told you, but --
diane: Max and i almost never talk about you, sonny, unbelievable as that may seem.
Sonny: When i'm married, i'm faithful. Don't -- don't give me that look.
Diane: Where do i start? Alexis. Sam. I believe the woman's name was reese. And, then of course, there's emily.
Sonny: That was only when carly and i were separated or divorced.
Diane: In other words, in between reconciliations with carly.
Sonny: I was not married when i had sex with carly in that limo.
Diane: Then why not tell kate?
Sonny: Because i don't want to hurt her. Like i said, the -- you know, it's not going to happen again. When i marry kate, i am not going to be with anybody else.
Diane: Ok, what if -- if she finds out?
Sonny: She's not going to, diane.
Diane: Oh, that's right, because it never happened. Tell her, sonny. Give kate the opportunity to forgive you.
Sonny: There's nothing to forgive.
Carly and i, we're -- we're letting it go. Kate's heart is safe with me. I don't want to have this discussion anymore, ok?
Diane: God help me. I'm actually starting to understand your logic. Which means that i need a martini.
Jax: Why would you come up with such a ridiculous lie?
Kate: Is it ridiculous? It's true, jax. I wish it wasn't, and i wish i didn't know, but i do. The man that i am going to marry in the less than a month has been lying to me since may, and carly has been lying to you.
Jax: And why should i believe you?
Kate: You know, just ask diane miller, ok? She can give you the details that will break your heart. Jax, everything that everyone has been warning us about is true. Sonny and carly cannot stay away from each other.
Jax: When did you find about this?
Kate: Clarice just told me. She overheard max and diane talking about it. Do you remember that night? Do you remember how terrible we felt, how awful we felt about michael, how we were completely shut out? How we tried to put on a good face? We went to the "couture" gala, and it was dreadful. And on the ride home, you and i shared a kiss. We had to pay for that, and all the while we've been played like fools.
scott: Do you have a personal relationship with nikolas cassadine?
Nadine: We all know what that means, mr. Baldwin, and i don't appreciate the implication one little bit.
Scott: Yes or no?
Nadine: You want this whole courtroom to think that i am in love with nikolas cassadine, and even if i am, which i'm probably not, it would never influence my testimony.
Scott: Objection.
Ric: You can't object to your own witness.
Judge: That's enough, ms. Crowell
Nadine: I'm not finished.
Scott: I'm finished with you, you crackpot.
Nadine: Nikolas is worried sick about his little sister. She's about to lose her mind, because that man is about to railroad her boyfriend into a lethal injection.
Judge: That's enough, ms. Crowell.
Nadine: No, your honor, this whole trial is all wrong.
Scott baldwin hates the spencers. He's just out for revenge because lulu's mother dumped him like a million years ago. Talk about conflict of interest. I mean, don't take this the wrong way, but he shouldn't even be allowed in this courtroom.
Judge: That is quite enough.
Maxie: You know it's just mac being mac.
Robin: Yes, i'm just -- i'm not so crazy about you being here either.
Maxie: I know what it's like to recover from major surgeries. I mean, i've done it a few times.
Spinelli's not like us. He doesn't have family around to help him or drive him crazy. Besides jason and me, no one really cares about him.
Robin: Mm.
Jason, what do you think?
Jason: I think maxie would have been safer if she had never met spinelli, but he wants her to be here, so --
robin: Ok. All right, well, then i will just tell mac that you're being a good friend and don't worry about it.
Maxie: Thank you. That sounds good.
Robin: You're welcome. Mac is just a little over-anxious these days, because my due date is getting very close.
Jason: Yeah, i'm happy for you and patrick. I'm glad -- i'm glad it worked out.
Robin: Oh, come on. Not you, too. Were you looking at his blog?
Jason: What's a blog?
Robin: I just don't understand why i have to get married to have a child with the man. I mean, what is so bad about trying to protect my little girl from a marriage that will probably fall apart? I mean, isn't it better that a baby is with two people who are happy with each other rather than two people who are tearing each other up over a divorce? And please don't say i'm a pessimist, ok? I am a realist, and i just don't think i need to marry him to have a full and happy life.
Jason: I was just congratulating you on your baby. I -- i mean if you and patrick want to get married, that's up to you.
Robin: Oh, so you didn't know about the --
jason: Apparently not.
Robin: Ok, well, good to see you. I should go.
Jason: I'll walk you down.
Robin: Ok. Bye.
Carly: I want you to know that i understand your concerns. Sonny and i have a lot of history. But i'm really ready to move on with jax.
Max: You know, i didn't think you'd stay married until -- i thought it was just a matter of time before you ended up back with the boss again.
Carly: Well, you know, a lot of things changed the night michael was shot. And, uh, that night in the limo,that was a big mistake, and, you know, that was it. That was the end. I want to spend the rest of my life with jax. I have never been so happy and so secure. I love him so much. Hi. Welcome home.
Jax: Ahem.
[door opens]
nikolas: Well, hello, nadine.
Nadine: Oh, hey, nikolas. How are you doing? Good to see you.
Nikolas: Yeah. So, what exactly did you do now?
[Nadine sighs]
maxie: Ooh.
Sasha: Mr. Spinelli, how are you feeling?
Maxie: You -- you better stay away from him.
Spinelli: Stop her before she starts shedding clothes.
Sasha: You are very amusing, little trespasser. So, where is jason?
Spinelli: Stone cold and the slavic seductress are on a first name basis? My darkest, most tortured vision is coming true.
Maxie: You need to get out of here. I'm going to tell jason that you were bothering spinelli, and if you try to make threats, jason will retaliate.
Patrick: Well, i appreciate the confidence in me.
Mac: Well, that's good. But just understand, you know, if you hurt robin, if you turn out to be a lousy father -- i will make you pay.
Patrick: Fair enough.
Mac: All right.
Robin: I really can't believe you're doing this. It's like i'm being smothered from all sides. What did he just say to you? And don't you dare say that i should be happy for what i've got because, you know what? He should be happy for what he's got. Ow!
Mac: Robin, what's wrong? What's wrong?
Robin: I don't know. It hurts.
Patrick: Page dr. Lee -- stat.
Robin: It just hurts.
Mac: The baby's coming -- now?
Robin: I don't know. I think i'm having a contraction.
Sonny: Did you get everything finished?
Kate: For now.
Sonny: That -- that's the same wine from the island. What i want do now, is i want to grill some fish so we can pretend we're still there.
Kate: I'm not hungry.
Sonny: Your dress is going to fit. Come on, you look great. What do you mean? You've got to eat.
Kate: I have a question for you, sonny, and i'd appreciate an honest answer. I'll believe whatever you have to say.
Sonny: What's wrong?
Kate: Did you have sex with carly the night you took michael to the institute?
Jax: Is there a problem, max? Did sonny ask you over here?
Carly: No, of course not. Max came by to congratulate us for getting back together.
Max: That's right. Congratulations.
Carly: Thank you.
Max: Mrs. C., Jax.
Carly: Bye, max.
Jax: Yeah.
Carly: Max is a very nice guy. He is. You should get to know him better. He likes to fish. He didn't come over here because of sonny, if that's what you're worried about.
Jax: No, that's -- that's not what i'm worried about.
Carly: Well, what's wrong?
Jax: Did you sleep with sonny back in may?

P4P
Monday September 8: Part 1
Robin: I can't be in labor. It's too soon. Elizabeth: The best thing to do is just breathe, all right? Patrick: You and the baby are going to be fine. You're going to be fine. Robin: Ok. Jason: We have nothing to discuss. Sasha: Your associate here disagrees. According to her, you're prepared to strike against Mr. Karpov. Spinelli: What Maximista meant - Sasha: Her meaning was unmistakable. And unless you care to explain, right and you're about to start a mob war. Kate: It's a simple question. Yes or no? Did you have sex with Carly the night when you took Michael to the institute? Sonny: Yeah. Jax: Wow, it's quite funny when you think about it, isn't it? You know, like, I went to all the trouble to ask for a separation, trying to figure out a way to save our marriage, When it was already over. Carly: Jax, don't say that. Please, don't say that. Jax: You slept with Sonny at least once that I know about. Carly: It was only that one time. Jax: Well- Carly: Jax - Jax: At least you didn't add insult by denying it. Carly: Don't walk away and don't tell me our marriage is over. Jason: All right, let's get something straight. This is not my associate. Mr. Karpov and I made an agreement. I plan on honoring it. Unless he makes a move against me all bets are off. Maxie: But Spinelli wasn't run down in front of Karpov's warehouse. Spinelli: Maximista, perhaps it would be best not to - Maxie: You're Lucky that Spinelli's ok and, if anything ever happen to him-- Spinelli: I am perfectly capable of dealing with the Slavic seductress. Sasha: Look, no one working for Mr. Karpov had anything to do with the unfortunate incident. I came here to give you my personal assurances. Jason: You've done it. Goodbye. Maxie: Well she was totally lying Spinelli: Stone cold, Maximista was only trying - Jason: That's enough. You guys keep messing around like this, somebody is going to get killed Lucky: I'm so ready for this to be over. Sam: Ok listen to me. Getting shot during the DEA drug bust definitely helped my street cred with Karpov and his drug runners. I am definitely making progress. Lucky: W hat do you mean, you are making progress? Sam: I don't want to say it a million times, so can we wait for Nadine and Nikolas to get here? Lucky: No, no, no, I haven't heard from either one of them, and I don't even know if Nikolas will remember about this meeting. Listen, I'll call, ok? Sam: No, no, no, actually, don't -- don't call him, because, you know, now that I think about it, Nadine -- it's no secret that she has a thing for Nikolas and I've seen the way he's lately. It's a girl thing, so will you trust me on this? If they want some alone time, they should definitely have some alone time. And it'll give us a chance to be alone too and I think that's all the better. Lucky: Oh, you're not fair. Sam: What the voice of reason. I don't want to be the voice of reason. Sam: I think that is good. Lucky: God, I miss you. I miss you so much -- I want to rip your clothes off. Sam: Ok, ditto and... ditto. Come on, let's go. Lucky: Do you know we're in the back room of a medical clinic - Sam: Yes, I know. It's risky, I don't care. Lucky: Anyone could come in. Sam: Guess what. I like taking risks. Whoa! Boy: Do something! Help her. My mother can barely stand up. The pain's so bad. Matt: All right, all right. Try and stay calm, all right? Tell me what happened. Woman: I get bad headache, Migraines Boy: I took her to the hospital and they gave her this medication. Leyla: Which hospital? Matt: Mercy Man: I need help, please. Boy: She started taking this medicine and right away I could see something was wrong. Look at her she's so pale. [Leyla went to help man] Matt: Can you follow this? I think she might have been poisoned. Claudia: Where's John? Ric: I asked the -- the guards to wait to bring him up. I wanted to talk to you first about what happened in court today? Claudia: When Scott Baldwin produced that so-called evidence? Please I wanted to scream. The idea that Logan was some kind of an undercover cop - Ric: Scott got - Claudia: It's ridiculous. Oh, my - Claudia: What, that Logan Hayes is some kind of a martyr? Ric: Shh, this is a death penalty case now. I just want you to be aware about what we are up against. Claudia: Scott wanted Johnny to get a lethal injection. And he tried to twist my words on the stand today, but I didn't let him. I think I held my own. I mean, I didn't say anything that would incriminate John Ric: I -- I think that the jury was aware that you were holding back. But I don't think that you did anything to help Scott's case. You were a credible witness. Claudia: It wasn't a horrible first day, then, right? I mean-- Ric: You want me to tell you what you want to hear, or do you want the truth? Sonny: I'm sorry. I never -- I never wanted you to know Kate: A lie is a very bad way to start a marriage. Sonny: It happened once in -- in an extreme circumstance. Kate: Accord to everyone else its routine behavior for you - Sonny: It's not -- ok - Kate: And Carly. Sonny: It's not going to happen again. I promise you. I regret what happened. It will never happen again Kate: Why should I trust you? Sonny: Because I -- I -- I did it -- I didn't -- I didn't - Kate: What? Sonny: I was--We were taking Michael to the institute. Kate: Uh-huh. Sonny: We were putting him in. We were saying our goodbyes. We went -- we went to the car. It was raining. We started to talk about Michael, his hopes, his dreams. She started to cry. Sonny: One thing led to -- led to another Kate: What about me, the person you swore to love what about me? Did I even cross your mind? Carly: Please don't leave without giving me a chance to explain. Jax: Well, excuse me if I don't want to hear the details of the special bond that you share with Sonny. Carly: We share a son in a coma. Jax: Oh, please, don't you dare. Don't you dare use Michael as an excuse. Carly: We had just put Michael in an aftercare facility for the rest of his life. Jax: I don't want to hear it Carly, I don't want to hear it. Carly: The pain was unbearable. And it just happened. Anna: How is she? Mac: One minute we're talking the next she's buckled over in pain. What the hell was she doing here in the first place? She should -- never should have been working in her condition. Anna: It's a good thing she was here cause they knew what to do with her. They knew how to treat her. Mac: She wouldn't have been all stressed out. Anna: You know what, Mac? She works, because it keeps her mind occupied. Mac: Not the job, Anna. Dealing with Patrick. You know having to justify for the hundredth time why she doesn't want to marry the guy. Even I was piling on. Why I let you people talk me into getting on board with them. Anna: Don't you want her to be happy? Mac: It's a disaster waiting to happen. Anna: Yeah, well, love can sometimes be like that. But I think that she needs a partner in all of this, Mac. She needs somebody to be there to share all the good times and the bad times and just-- and -- and just, you know, when she wakes up in the morning after a sleepless night, "you look beautiful" even if her eyes are all puffy or whatever. Mac: You've been brainwashed by Patrick. Anna: I'm wrong about this? Mac: Patrick makes some good points, but I'm a realist. I see past the smiles, all the hopeful upbeat talk about how wonderful and normal everything is when we know it's not. Anna: Oh, Mac, I mean, the odds are excellent the baby won't have HIV. Mac: You know, everyone keeps acting like if we wish real hard and pray real hard, it'll all be ok. I did all that when we found out about Stone, found that there was a chance Robin could be infected. I thought positive thoughts, I told myself the odds were on her side, but it didn't matter. I love Robin so much. I admire her, everything she's done with her life. I know Anna, I know that even though she refuses to talk about it, she's terrified that baby could have HIV. I don't know, maybe that's what brought on the early labor. Robin: I'm glad you're here. Patrick: Of course I'm here. If the baby going to come tonight, we're going her. Robin: Yeah, you're right... [Robin breathes deeply] Robin: Because I've been taking my meds religiously so there's a less than two percent chance that the baby can have HIV. And, if this is premature labor, then they can do a c-section. And that's fine that can work as well so, no matter what, it'll be fine. Patrick: It'll be fine. There's only one thing missing. Robin: What? Patrick: A name for our little girl. If she's going to come out tonight, we need something better than "hey you." Robin: Ok, what? Patrick: Well I'm thinking Millicent. Milli for short. Robin: Well, "hey you" is starting to sound really good. Patrick: Yeah, maybe you're right. Kelly: I have good news. You're not in labor. You're having Braxton- Hicks contractions. Patrick: False alarm. Kelly: This is perfectly normal. It's your body getting ready for the real thing. Robin: Sure didn't feel like practice. Patrick: Well, if they are more frequent and more intense. Braxton-hicks signals pre-labor. It's the softening and the thinning of the cervix. Kelly: Someone's been doing his homework. Patrick: Yeah well I figured if I knew what this was going into it, it would kind of lessen the stress and the anxiety part of it. Kelly: Yeah, how's that working for you? Patrick: It didn't work at all. Kelly: Well there is nothing to panic about here. You're healthy, and as long as you relax and avoid unnecessary stress, you should carry to term. Nikolas: I guess I'm a little confused as to how you got yourself thrown in jail for contempt in court. Nadine: Baldwin's a jerk. Nikolas: Yes, but doesn't that kind of go without saying? All you had to do was testify you found Logan's body on the sidewalk and you saw some car drive away, right? Nadine: Yeah, well, he wasn't interested in the facts. He wanted me to say that I saw John Zacchara driving that car. Nikolas: But you didn't Nadine: I didn't. Nikolas: That's all you had to say. Nadine: Yeah, well, Baldwin's a lawyer, Nikolas. They don't just ask questions. They -- they frame them in this way so that if you don't answer them in the way that you want them to, you look guilty to the entire room, or at least suspect. Nikolas: But if you didn't see the driver, and you didn't, what else was there to say? Nadine: Well then it's like I might be lying Nikolas: But why would you lie? Why would you protect a guy like John Zacchara? Nadine: Because you're lulu's brother and I work for you and I'm a girl after all. And you are you, you are wealthy, handsome, available Nikolas Cassadine and why wouldn't I lie for you if you asked? Nikolas: That's -- that's ridiculous. Nadine: It's outrageous. Nikolas: I would never try to influence your testimony. Nadine: No, of course you wouldn't. And even if -- if you did, I would never -- I would never do that even if I were in love with you. Sonny: When I was with Carly, if I had been thinking about you, I wouldn't have done it. Kate: Oh... there's my answer. Carly overwhelms everything Sonny: That's not true. I just found out that you had paid off Ian Devlin - Kate: I paid off Ian Devlin to keep you from going to jail, to keep you from killing him so that you wouldn't throw your life away. But never mind, right? Because all you saw was betrayal. So you were under no obligation to be faithful. Sonny: I'm not trying to justify or -- or -- or, you know, make an excuse for what I did. I'm just trying to tell you what happened. I was taking my -- my son, who in a coma and I put him in the institution. There was a lot of things going on at that time. Things were coming down on me. Carly and I, you know ---it like-- I hate what happened. And afterwards, you know, we -- we both knew it was a mistake. And true to form, like Carly, she -- right after, you know, she hands me this document to -- so I would sign over my kids. Kate: Wait, Carly had sex with you so that you would sign over your kids? Jax: I offered to take Michael to the institute with you, but you didn't want me there. So don't tell me that this was a spontaneous accident Carly: Jax - Jax: No, no, part of you knew that this was going to happen. Carly: I swear to you, I didn't. Jax: I can't believe it. I mean, you came home to me that night. I was so happy to see you. We made love. We had sex to be more accurate. Right? You went -- you went straight from Sonny to me. How could you do that to me? Nadine: I certainly hope you don't think that I blurted out my feelings in the middle of an entire courtroom. Not that those are my feelings. I mean, I enjoy your company, but when I said the word "love," that was only hypothetical, which was all that it could be obviously. I was only trying to make a point. Nikolas: Right, and what point would that be? Nadine: That Scott Baldwin was wrong, of course. It is a tragedy that his son died and justice needs to be served, obviously. But he's not interested in justice. He's only out for revenge and he was just trying to use my testimony to get that. Nikolas: Nadine, I believe you. I think you're right. Nadine: I know I'm right and it makes me madder than a cut snake. And it is just not in me to stay quiet when I see that kind of injustice going on. Nikolas: I know. It's one of the things I admire about you the most. But you have to learn how to make your point. I mean, when you go on the attack like that, people stop listening to you it gets you nothing. Nadine: Yeah, well, thanks for the pep talk. Nikolas: Oh, I'm not finished with you yet. Bye Nadine: Bye. Matt: I want full blood panels. Tell everyone to send me over a sample of the meds they're to go directly to the lab, no red tape. Possible poisonings for both of them. Get them both on IV's, normal saline, 500 cc bolus. Lucky: I send a quad car over to Mercy and get those meds confiscated. Matt: Get a list of everyone who took the meds. Leyla: Full blood panels, please, directly to lab, no red Thanks Luck y: Hey. Sam: That is unbelievable. Who knows how many other people out there are taking counterfeit drugs? Lucky: No, no, no. Its worst than that. Patients aren't just getting useless meds. They're being poisoned. Jerry: Ms. Donev, these cold war theatrics are getting a bit much Sasha: Well it wouldn't have been necessary if your brother hadn't gotten Mr. Karpov's visa revoked. Jerry: I think my brother showed admirable restraint. You see if Carly was my wife, Mr. Karpov's visa would be the least of his problems. And if he keeps making advances to my sister-in-law, I think it might detract from our lucrative venture. Sasha: Mr. Karpov's infatuation will not interfere with business. Jerry: Spoken like a woman who's in charge, I like that. Sasha: I hope you're bringing me good news. Jerry: The doctor from the clinic, Matt Hunter -- he's on the trail of the counterfeit drugs and he thinks he has a lead. Sasha: That would be the opposite of good news. Jerry: Now here is the good one, you see they're many people associated with the clinic who might cause some difficulties. So the place is going to be the site of a very tragic and fatal accident. Sasha: Oh. Maxie: You have to come at thing from a position of strength like, if your magazine wants to do a layout with a hot new designer or a profile on a star, you don't actually say that. You just let them think that you are going to do them a favor. Spinelli: Well, I fail to see the correlation between celebrity gossip and possibly inciting a mob war. Maxie: It's the same principle. If a rival mobster's ice queen lawyer strolls in a business suit that's trying way too hard and starts throwing out veiled threats you have to back her down and by the way, anyone can shoot a gun. It takes real skill to pull off a negotiation. Spinelli: Stone Cold is not as trigger happy as you may think. [Phone rings] Jason: Yeah! How long ago? No, I'm -- I'm going to handle it. Spinelli: Are we going to the mattresses? Jason: You are. Upstairs, you're going to take a nap. Let's go. Come on. Just get -- stand up. Get his pillows and blankets. Maxie: You should say "please. It's polite. Jason: Get his pillows and blankets Maxie: Now that you have all this secret mob stuff to do, aren't you really glad that I'm here? Kate: So Carly already had these papers in her purse, already drawn up by the lawyer. Sonny: Yeah. And then after, you know, we - Kate: After you had sex. Right, so she pulled them out of her purse and asked you to sign away your kids? Wow, I really didn't think I could like her any less. Sonny: Ok, first of all, we were -- we were both wrong... when she pulled out those papers, I -- I was furious and I told her. I said, "You know what? You're using sex to get me give up my kids. But the truth is that, you know, the -- the sex came out of pain and grief and afterwards, we both regretted it. And I got to tell you, I felt like, for -- for the first time in a long time, I realize how destructive we are and the reason I didn't tell you... was because I didn't want to hurt you... It didn't matter, it still doesn't matter. Nothing's changed. You still want to marry me? Carly: I regretted what happen with Sonny the second it was over. When I came home, I ran straight for the shower because I just wanted to wash it off me and make it go away and then, when I came out of the bathroom, you were there. And I needed you. I couldn't tell you what happened because I lost my oldest son. I couldn't lose you, too. So when you reached out to me, I held onto you, Jax, because you're my husband and I love you. Jax: And afterwards you got out of bed and you left me sleeping, to do what? Did you go back to Sonny? Carly: No, no, I went Jason because I felt guilty and I needed to talk to someone about it and I couldn't talk to you because I couldn't risk losing you. Jax: Wow, all of this in a few hours. Let me ask you this. If you have gotten pregnant and Sonny was the father would you have ever told me?
Sep 9, 2008 11:15
Mon Sep 08, Part 2 Jax: So this is why you were so reluctant to take a pregnancy test. You kept putting it off, because you slept with both of us. You know, Sonny even told me if you were pregnant that I should take a paternity test. I mean, I must have been in complete denial, 'cause he basically told me that he slept with you. Carly: He was being petty and cruel. Jax: No, he was being honest. Would you have ever told me, or was I going to be another dupe like A.J.? Carly: If I were pregnant, I would have taken a paternity test, and if Sonny was the father, I would have told you. Jax: And if the baby had been mine, would you have told me anything at all? {Carly shakes head negatively] Carly: I love you. I love you, and I didn't want this to happen and I didn't want to hurt you the way that I'm hurting you right now. Jax: Well, you should have thought about that before you slept with Sonny. Kate: Maybe you think nothing's changed. Maybe you think that you can still marry me and you can still continue this bond with Carly. Sonny: There is no bond with Carly. Kate: Do you have any idea how many people warned me, Sonny? Do you? And I chose not to believe them, and now I'm the fool. It doesn't matter how much regret you and Carly have or how much pain you have caused yourself or other people, you and Carly will never be over. Sonny: Ok, I'm going to tell you again. I don't want to have anything to do with Carly. She brings out the worst in me. You bring out the best. Do you know that you have made me... feel hope... for the first time...? Don't give up on me. Kate: Look in my eyes, and you swear to me, swear to me that you can never go back to Carly. Can you do that? Sonny: I swear to you. Kate: I can't believe you, Sonny. I can't. Sam: All right, let me think. Karpov has a product in the shipping. What he needs is someone to handle the distribution, and that would be the middle man, which would be Jerry, I'm convinced of that. Lucky: Yeah, based on what? Seeing him have a conversation on the docks with Karpov? Sam: Are you kidding me? That was not social. Jerry is a sociopath who would gladly take pleasure in poisoning people to make an extra buck. I am convinced of that, too. Lucky: If you put your emotions in the way, you could wind up with nothing, putting yourself into danger. Sam: Listen, Lucky, I want justice, but I am not about to get killed over it, ok? Lucky: You haven't seen any of the cargo you've moved for Karpov, have you? A decoy -- it could be a setup. Sam: Ok, fine then before I plan my next move, I need proof. Lucky: Exactly. Sam: And I think Jerry's the key to that, too. [Phone rings] Lucky: Spencer. Sam: What? Lucky: I'll be right there. Sam: What? Lucky: Two guys, both holding Russian passports, were found beaten up and unconscious in an alley. Looks like somebody's having problem with Karpov. Maxie: I know it probably wasn't a smart idea threatening the Slavic Seductress but Jason is really good at intimidation. I mean, usually his eyes are this really pretty blue, but - Spinelli: I think Stone Cold would takes an exception to the word "pretty" being used - Maxie: I can't help it. Jason's eyes are pretty, except for when he gets all cold and threatening and then they becomes like ice. The Slavic seductress was definitely scared when she left. Spinelli: Ok, yeah, which brings me back to my original point. I feel like I have placed you in a situation where your impulsive nature could -- could place you in peril. Maxie: Jason will handle it and while he's at it, he could have these walls repainted, too. Spinelli: Oh, I could never ask him to do that. This room was once inhabited by Stone cold's seldom-mentioned first wife, the mysterious and reputedly beautiful Brenda. Maxie: Brenda left Port Charles years ago. There comes a time when we need to move on. Besides, what kind of friend is Jason to you if he makes you stare at these walls all day. Spinelli: Well, actually, I find them calming and kind of soothing. You know, studies have indicated that the color pink have a subduing effect on violent prison inmates and libidinous impulses. Maxie: So pink kills your sex drive. Spinelli: Well the study has a -- a considerable margin of error, and individual reactions may vary widely. As to the Slavic seductress - Maxie: So you think she's hot? Spinelli: What? Maxie: Well, you were talking about your libido, and then you brought her up, so - Spinelli: They are two separate thoughts, unconnected. If I ever have contemplated the womanliness of the Slavic - Ms. Donev, it was only to search for a way to counteract the power she was exerting over stone cold. Maxie: It was all in your head Spinelli, like a video game. Sasha is not some cyber-babe in a leather outfit with a whip. Part of the reason I got so mad downstairs is because I just - I know she had something to do with your hit and run. Spinelli: Well, better the Jackal than fair Maximista. Had you been a casualty in the hit and run, the thought's too terrible to contemplate. Maxie: Come on, Spinelli. I never would have let a pair of Russian mobsters ruin my Christian Cartullos. Those are the shoes that I was wearing. Spinelli: I know. But the things you said to Karpov's lawyer, the way that you stood up for me. Maxie: I'm always going to stand up for you. Spinelli: No - If they think of you as a threat or even a nuisance, the cost will be far more than a pair of sling -- peep-toed sling backs. Maxie: Are you going to try to start telling me that you're too dangerous for me again? Spinelli: The danger is real. There is a reason why stone cold has separated himself from all the people he cares about. Maxie: Spinelli, we both know that I'm not a good person. I like to think I'm not completely screwed up thanks to a few people who have believed in me in my life. After Georgie and Coop died, I was ready to self-destruct and follow my worst impulses, and I didn't thanks to you, so yes, I am grateful that you pushed me out of the way of that car but you saved me just by being my friend. Anna: It was a scare. So we're going to look on this as kind of a dry run, right? How did we do? Robin: We did all right. I mean, I definitely have a lot of love and support. Anna: You have so much love and support, support kind of beyond belief. It's ridiculous, really. [Robin laughs] Anna: I -- I don't know. I feel like, I want you to be happy, and I want you to have it all and it turned into this awful obnoxious, sort of overbearing mother that thinks that she knows what her child wants, and...here is the part where you're supposed to jump in and say, "oh, no, no, no. You could never be that person." [Anna laughs] Robin: Mom I know that you are always coming from a good place, and I love you for that Anna: So what I want to do is declare an official moratorium on all advice, but I'm going to reserve the right to hover. Robin: Ok, you can hover any time you want. Anna: Am I that bad, really? Robin: Uh... No, I'm just kidding. I just hope that I can be half the mom you've been to me. Nadine: You posted my bail? Scott: Hey, hey, hey, hey, put her back in the cell. The court--- the judge is never going to sign off on that. Nikolas: Too late, it's already done. Harper: The night judge set bail, it's been paid. She gets to walk. Scott: You lied on the witness stand, that's called perjury. Nikolas: Back off, Scott. Scott: Your girlfriend is covering up for a murderer. Nikolas: Save it for the courtroom. Scott: You know, when I get your sister up on the witness stand. Nikolas: Too bad, you can't. She's not well enough, sorry. Scott: She's faking it. I can prove it. Eventually, lulu is going to roll over on Johnny, and when she does, I will come after her for what she did, then I'm going to come after your girlfriend. Nikolas: Will you listen to yourself for a moment? You are talking about the daughter of a woman that you say you love. Scott: Well, that's 'cause she's -- she lied. She lied to Logan. She led him on, and then she tried to help Johnny escape. Now she's going to pay for that. Nikolas: All right, all right, all right. Johnny: Thank you for what you did on the stand today. Claudia: You'd be free if I had told the truth. Johnny: We've been through this. Claudia: Things have changed. You're going to get a lethal injection if you're convicted for a crime you didn't commit John. You need to give lulu up. If you admit that Lulu killed Logan, the fact that the girl's crazy is going to save her, John. Johnny: Baldwin forged those documents saying that Logan was a police officer for a reason, it guarantee that this is a death penalty case, so if it's not me, he's going to go after lulu. Claudia: Ric is not going to let that happen. Johnny: If Ric is as good as he says he is, why aren't we talking about my acquittal? Claudia: Oh, because it's not that easy, Johnny, to cover up a murder ok. It's not -- it's not like lulu didn't leave you with an enormous mess here. Johnny: I'm the one who insisted on the cover-up. Now it's up to me to fix it. Claudia: You're going to sit there and you're going to talk calmly to me about throwing your life away. Me -- me, John. I am your sister and I love you and I would do anything for you, anything and for what? For what? I mean for some girl whose mind is half gone. Johnny: So I should toss lulu aside - Claudia: You know what? It's the risk that she took. It's the risk that anybody takes that gets involved with us that get involve with our insanity that we call a life. John, if you're not here to fight for me, I won't make it out it'll drag me under. I will become a monster, just like daddy. Johnny: You're a survivor ok, you'll be fine without me. [Claudia slaps Johnny] Claudia: You bastard. I will never forgive you John for throwing your life away. News anchor: Two men who had been brutally beaten were discovered in an alley near the pier 52 warehouse by a woman who was walking her dog. Police say that they were holding Russian passports and that there are no suspects at this time. Anyone who has information is - [TV turns off] [Door closes] [Jason remove gun from waist and remove clip] [Closet door open] [Closet door close] [Jason footsteps retreating] [Clinic door opens] [Jerry footsteps clanks on the floor] Patrick: How are you feeling? Robin: Oh, a little silly. Just freaked everyone out including myself, and got all emotional over Braxton-Hicks which is fairly common. Patrick: You know, I'm glad this happened. I've been badgering you about marrying me. Not very charming, and it's not very funny, and it's stressing you out, and that's the last thing you need. Yeah, we're going to raise our little together the best we can, and that should be -- that should be enough for now. I love you, and I'm going to respect that, so proposals, no more affidavits. Subject's closed, ok? Robin: I love you, too. Patrick: Good. I'll see you later Carly: What happened between me and Sonny was wrong, but as soon as it was over, I knew I'd made such a terrible mistake. Jax: Yeah, and I made a mistake that night too. I kissed Kate, and when you found out about it, you accused me of betrayal, and you had just slept with your ex. Carly: I hated that you kissed Kate and regardless of how guilty I feel about Sonny I still hate it. Jax: Oh, do you not see the hypocrisy, or am I just supposed to say, "oh, it's just Carly's quirky way of dealing with things. Carly: I am sorry. I am so sorry. Jax: No, but you're not. You're not. Sonny never looked at this marriage as real. He thinks you're his and always will be his. Carly: We're not talking about Sonny right now. Jax: No, we are. We're talking about Sonny and that he always takes you whenever he just feels like it, and you allow him to do that, and that is why we have nothing left. [Sonny car crash] Nikolas: I'm sorry I lost my cool like that. Nadine: Baldwin had it coming. Nikolas: I just -- I just gave you this huge lecture about how going on the attack gets you nothing. Nadine: Punching Scott Baldwin was a thing of beauty, there's no bigger accomplishment than that is there? [Maxie opens closet door] [Jason grabs her] Jason: Bad idea. [Jerry removes gloves] Jerry: Sweet Sam, we keep meeting at the most unexpected of places, don't we? Sam: What the hell are you doing here? Carly: We can't give up when we just found our way back to each other. Jax: What are you talking about? That was all based on a lie. Carly: No, it's not. It's not a lie that I love you, and I know you love me, Jax, and we belong together. Jax: Yes, I love you, probably always will. But I have tried every way I know how to make this work. But I don't know how to be married to you. I don't know what you want from me. Carly: I want you to forgive me. I want you to believe that I made a terrible mistake and I will never ever make another one. Oh, I was so afraid that this was going to happen. From the moment you told me you love me, I -- I knew the day was going to come that I was going to do something so huge and so terrible that you would walk away. I'm begging you not to please. Don't leave, Jax. Love me enough to get past this be the one the one that won't leave. [Sonny struggles] Sonny: You ok?
Sep 10, 2008 02:07
Tuesday September 9th Part 1 Sam: This is odd. Jerry jacks, alone in the clinic after hours. You want to tell me what this is all about? Jerry: What a coincidence. I was going to ask the same thing about you. Sam: You first. Why are you here? Jerry: Well, oddly enough, your mother. Jason: You looking for something? Maxie: You know, you really shouldn't sneak up on your house guests. It's rude. Jason: Why were you looking through the closet? Maxie: I, uh -- it's chilly stairs. You might not have noticed. You are practically cold-blooded. But I wanted Spinelli to be comfortable, so I came down to get him another blanket. Jason: Why don't you try being honest for once? Maxie: I mentioned earlier about Karpov's people being behind the hit and run. You got upset and left to do mysterious mob business. I heard on the news, two Russian guys got beat up and-- Jason: And what? Maxie: I wanted to see if your gun had been fired. Jason: What if it had? Carly: I standing her and I'm trying to explain to you what happened, but these explanations just sound like excuses. And there's no excuse for what -- there's no excuse for me having sex with Sonny. And I have nothing to say in my defense. I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry Jax. And I love you so much. I love you with all my heart I pray that you still love me. You're the only man that I want. Only man that I ever want. Just, please, let this be where we start over. Jax: I waited such a long time for this to know that you love only me. To know that you're truly committed to this marriage. Carly: Do you believe me? Jax: Yeah, I do. Sonny: Claudia? You ok? Hey Can you hear me? [Claudia groans] Claudia: What the hell? Sonny: You ok? Claudia: What -- what happened? Oh, you were driving like a maniac. Sonny: No, I think what happened is you took a wide turn. Claudia: Well, you were practically in my lane. Sonny: Ok, well - Claudia: W… Oh my God. Johnny: I asked to speak to Nikolas. Lucky: Yeah, well whatever you want, you can't play on my brother's sympathy to get it. Johnny: Where is he? Lucky: He's in lockup. Johnny: What happened? Lucky: This trial is what happened. Scott Baldwin, he's out for blood. He doesn't give a damn about Lulu. He's going to make you pay for murdering his son. Nikolas, he lost his mind and he punched Baldwin, so he got arrested. So what you were planning on telling him, you're going to have to tell me instead. Johnny: No, thanks. Lucky: Yeah, because I'm a cop, or because I'm a brother who realizes how bad you are for my sister? Johnny: You have no idea what I have done for your sister. Lucky: Oh, sure I do. You're the reason she lost her mind. Lulu: Mom? Laura: Oh, lulu, is that you, honey? Lulu: Yeah, I'm sorry, I know it late. Laura: Oh it ok. Come on in. Turn on the lights. Lulu: Are you sure this is ok? Laura: Yes, it's alright. I was awake a lot too. I was thinking about you. Lulu: I just can't even believe that this is happening, that you are here. Laura: It was a very hard day for you. There have been so many times when I haven't been able to be there for you. I really want to help you now. Lulu: Well, that's the thing. I just -- I don't even know if you can. Laura: Mm, I can do this. There you go. Maxie: Obviously, I didn't have it in me to find your gun and even if it had been fired, I wouldn't do anything. Jason: Then why go looking for it? Maxie: Because I'm curious like that. I think people are really interesting and full of surprises. Like you -- I mean, who knew that you had a designer suit? That's really nice fabric - Jason: Don't touch my stuff. Maxie: Ok, I'm kind of nosey. I's sure you have a whole arsenal full of weapons, and i don't even want to think about what you do with those. That's another problem. I have an extremely active imagination. Feel free to say anything-you-- Jason: You're the police commissioner's daughter. Can you see how it compromises me to have you in my house? Maxie: But I would never give my dad any information about you. Or to another cop, or anything like that. Jason: Not intentionally. Maxie: Look, Spinelli worships you, ok? If something happened to you because of me, he would be wrecked. He would end up blaming himself and no matter what I would say, that wouldn't change it. So bottom line, my lips are sealed, ok? Jason: It would wreck Spinelli if something happened to you. Maxie: Do you think you could clarify that for me? Sam: Why would you come to this clinic because of my mother? Jerry: Before I submit to this interrogation, what is the reason for your nocturnal visit? Sam: Oh, me, yeah. See Nikolas is my cousin and he normally works late, So I was coming by to see how everything was going. Jerry: Oh, how considerate. Sam: Sure. Back to you Jerry. What is my mother have to do with this clinic? Jerry: Well, according to my sources, a new shipment of counterfeit drugs is expected in port Charles shortly. Sam: Ok, why don't you just call the police? Jerry: I'd rather handle it in a more, shall we say, self-serving way? You see, I came here to warn Nikolas so he intern can put in a good word with Alexis but since you're here, I'd be very glad if you could pass on the message. That would be great. Sam: So, wait a minute. You want me to think that my mother is reforming you. Jerry: No, I want Alexis to believe it. Sam: Well, you know, I don't think that Nikolas is going to say anything nice about you to my mother. Besides, he's not here. So maybe it is time for you to go. Jerry: Well I just arrived here moments before you did. And since this conversation is becoming both tedious and counter-productive, I think there's no reason for us to stay here, so. Sam: Great, go. You can go I'm actually going to write Nikolas a little note. Jerry: No, no, no. I mean this part if town -- the crime rate is abominable. I wouldn't dream of leaving you by yourself, no. Sam: I'll be fine, thank you. Jerry: No, no, no. You are alone and I assumed unarmed. You know, you can call your cousin in the morning. I'll drive you home. I'm not leaving you. Sam: Fine. Carly: If we're committed to getting past this and working on our marriage, we can do it, Jax. We can make it work. Jax: You know, Carly, I thought that this marriage would last forever. I really did. I'll be a father to Morgan, we'll have children together, we'll grow old together but that require trust. Carly: I'll earn your trust. Jax: Every time you slept with Sonny, it's like a knife through my heart and you said that wouldn't happen again and I took you at your word. Carly: It will never, never happen again. Jax: You're right it won't, because it won't be cheating because we won't be married. Carly: I will be faithful to you for the rest of our lives. You just tell me what I can say or do to prove that to you. Jax: I'm sorry. Carly: I'm sorry. I just keep going over and over in my head every single thing that led up to that moment and -- you wanted to drive me to the institution and bring me home and I should have said yes. [Jax sighs] Carly: I should have let you console me and I should have never been alone with Sonny at a time with such grief. When we turned to each other I should have said no and I should have considered the fallout. Jax: Yeah, but you didn't. Carly: No I didn't. I should have said no out of respect for you and for us and our wedding vows and I didn't-- Jax: Don't torture yourself. Don't torture yourself with the "should haves" and "what ifs." I know that you regret it. I -- I do. Carly: Then, please, Jax let me make this up to you please. Jax: No, Carly, it's over. I hope with time I find a way to stop loving you. Taped recording: All systems are you busy? Please hold and an operator will be with you shortly. Sonny: Damn, I can't get through to 911. Claudia: Just keep trying, ok? Sonny: Look, you need help, so I'm going to call my people. Claudia: You don't have people anymore. You quit the mafia, remember? Sonny: I will call Max and Milo. They will get you out of here. Claudia: Look, um, I don't know what's wrong with me. I can't-- I can't I can't feel my legs. Maybe I'm in shock. Maybe my back is broken, I don't know. I don't want to end up paralyzed, so could you please just keep trying to call 911? Sonny: Yeah, yeah, we'll get them. Jason: You think you're helping Spinelli? You're doing the opposite. Maxie: This is so unfair. Jason: He tells you things he shouldn't tell you. You go on stakeouts with him. You barge in here with your crazy cover-up stories when he's getting in trouble. Maxie: Don't even think about criticizing me for that. If I hadn't barged in and told Karpov's lawyers that me and Spinelli were having kinky waterfront sex they would have pull his arms out of his socket. Jason: That was a risk Spinelli chose to take he shouldn't have. Maxie: Trying to impress you. Jason: Or you. Maxie: Please. Spinelli thinks that you are the coolest guy on the face of the planet. He's constantly trying to impress you by acting way tougher than he actually is, throwing himself into danger - Jason: Yeah, and you follow him. Maxie: Because I don't want him to get hurt. Jason: What do you think it would do to Spinelli if you get hurt trying to help him? You really need to stop. You are only making things worse. Carly: Jax, we love each other. Please, give one more chance. Jax: No, I'd only be setting us up to fail. Carly: We wouldn't fail. I love you so much and I will make you so happy. Jax: You know I didn't realize that this is why I keep running away running away. I didn't want to invest too much because I knew that this day was coming. That one day you would push me too far and I would have to leave. Carly: This day can come and go like any other. You have the power to decide that. Yeah, when Kate told me that you slept with Sonny, something died inside of me. Carly: Don't say that Jax: You've hurt me more than I thought possible Carly. It's over. Sam: Ok, here I am, home safe and sound. Jerry: A beautiful yourself shouldn't be wandering about in this part of town, even one as capable as you. Sam: I suppose this is where I'm supposed to tell my mother how gallant you've been. Jerry: It would be much simpler for you and for me if only I were using Alexis. Sam: But you're not, of course. I think it's just a wild coincidence that she happens to be the DA. Jerry: Well, considering my unsavory past, it does come in handy, doesn't it? Sam: But it has never crossed your mind? Jerry: Oh, it has. Many times. The only problem is I genuinely care about Alexis. I've tried not to, but there you have it. Maybe I should do something noble, like finding a way to make her hate me. What do you think? Sam: If there's any way you need me to move that along, you just let me know. Jerry: You know what you might be even more useful than you realize, darling. Johnny: Gave up my freedom for your sister, you know that? Hmm? I could be across the border by now, but I took her to shadybrook instead because she needed help. Lucky: She wouldn't have needed to be there at all if it weren't for you. Johnny: I didn't want her in this mess. Lucky: I warned you the dayIi found you in your garden shed that she was too fragile and couldn't handle the mayhem in your life. Johnny: So I screwed up! Now I'm trying to fix it. Lucky: You're the reason Lulu's this way. And I have no sympathy to spare. Johnny: Then find some sympathy for your sister, Lucky. The only person who can help her is Nikolas, so let me talk to him. Sonny: How you doing? Claudia: I could feel my legs a little bit, but it hurts like hell. Sonny: All right, I'm going to try 911 again. Operator's voice: 911, what's your emergency? Sonny: Yeah. We're in a car crash on Um, skyline drive past the intersection of valley road. And thing is the person in the other car is badly hurt. Yeah, she could be internally bleeding, I think, so you need to get here as soon as you can. Bye. Smell that? That's gas. Come on. Claudia: Get me out. Get me out. Jax: I don't want to hurt you anymore Carly: You just want to leave. Jax: Yeah. I'm sorry. Carly: Well, I want you to know that, um, loving you has been the happiest time of my life I guess that was the problem, you know? I didn't really know what to do with something good, so I just wrecked it. Jax: Goodbye. Carly: Jax - Jax: Carly. Maybe you find someone some day, and maybe I will, too. Carly: I love you. Jason: When Spinelli is in danger and you go in after him, you're just telling him you don't think he can handle it on his own. Maxie: So I should wait for Spinelli to be injured or killed. Jason: No, I'm just saying that he does not want you to save him, but you do it anyway. Maxie: I respect Spinelli's ambition to be a tough guy, even though I think it's a waste. Spinelli is brilliant. So why not let you be the one to be shot at or run over by a car? For some weird reason I think you like it. Jason: Great, great. Have you told Spinelli this stuff? Maxie: Of course, but he's fixated on being just like you. Always wanting to be thrown into danger, having to act so tough. Speaking of, don't you think it's time maybe you show Spinelli some tricks or something? Jason: What do you mean, tricks? Maxie: You know, danger dude stuff like hand-to-hand combat or karate. Jason: I'm not going to teach Spinelli martial arts. Maxie: Why not? You are street smart, Spinelli isn't. I mean, you need to give him tools so he can protect himself. Jason: When did this become about me? Maxie: Don't be so egocentric. It's about me. I have to make sure Spinelli's ok. I need him around. I don't know what I would do if he wasn't around. I would- Jason: You what? Lucky: Hey, I don't want to blow our cover but I needed to see you. Sam: What's wrong? Lucky: Johnny Zacchara. He wants to see Nikolas. Sam: Why? Lucky: He didn't say something about helping lulu. Sam: Ok, so what, did you arrange it? Lucky: You know, I just want to trust that Nikolas will not do anything that's going to hurt lulu. Sam: No, no come on. Nikolas love Lulu just as much as you do. Lucky: I know, I know, but Nikolas has this messed up idea that Johnny can save lulu when he's the only reason that she's losing her mind. Laura: There have been more times than I can count where I felt trapped and helpless and even hopeless and that's the worst, because that one little word, "hope," it's like a life raft that you can hold on to when things get really tough. Lulu: Here I thought whenever you felt like that, you would pull some trick out of that big bag dad said you always carried around. Laura: Yeah there was that, but hope honey is sometime a decision, you know? It's a state of mind and of heart. Lulu: Mine does work together well or at least when it should. Laura: You know, I listen to you and sometimes I just shudder because you are so hard on your self. Lulu: Hard on myself? Laura: Yes. Lulu: Look at what I've done to Logan, to Johnny, to me. And they weren't my first casualties. Laura: And they probably won't be your last. You know why? You're human. You make mistakes. We all make mistakes, honey, and that's good. That's how we learn. It's true. Oh, I wish there was some way I could give you perspective. Lulu: And hope. Laura: You know about the time that I was held captive by the Cassadine's on that island, right by that horrible man that called himself Nikolas' father. it was one of the worst times in my life. All I wanted was to go home and to see Luke. [Laura sighs] Laura: So I just sat in my room night after night staring out the window into the darkness and then the thoughts would start and the panic would rise. And sometimes, I would even just go out and walk the halls in the but no matter where I started, I always ended at the same spot. Lulu: Where? Laura: The nursery. I would go in and I'd stand over Nikolas' crib, and I would look down at my beautiful little baby, so perfect, such a miracle. And then I'd put my hand on his little chest and I could feel his breathing slow and even then my breathing would start to slow. My heart would stop pounding out of my chest and a peace would just sort of wash over me and I felt hope. And when I walked out of that room, I always left stronger than when I came in because I knew that Nikolas was a blessing to me, but I didn't realize then how much. It's not just that he's grown into a fabulous man and that, he saved your life. He was the only donor, the only match when you were sick. So you see I had to go through all of that misery so that there would be a baby Nikolas who could one day save my beautiful baby lulu. You see? Out of something horrible, something wonderful happened. That's how it works. When we least expects it. That how it work that's perspective. Johnny: Lucky talked to you? Nikolas: Yes, but he made me promise that I'd tell him everything we discuss. Johnny: Can't. He'll try to stop you. Nikolas: Stop me from what? Johnny: Getting Lulu out of the country. You've got to check her out of shadybrook and get her as far away from here as possible. Because if she's not gone, Baldwin will put her on the stand. Nikolas: I agree that she's in no shape to testify that's kind of is a lot to ask for right now. Johnny: She can't testify. Nikolas: John, we're all worried about her, ok? But I just don't think the answer to this is taking her away for the people she care about. Johnny: If you care about your sister Nikolas, if you love her, you will get her as far away from here as possible until the trial is over. Nikolas, it's not about saving me. It about saving her. Nikolas: Oh, my god. She killed Logan, didn't she? Claudia: Ok, you're right. That's gas. Get me out. Sonny: Hold still for a second. The buckle's stuck. I'm trying to pull it out. Claudia: What's wrong with it? Come on. Sonny: Let me try something, ok? You've got to hold still. My god. Ok, cut it. Come on, just cut it

Tuesday September 9th Part 2 Maxie: Spinelli actually believes in me. The only other person who ever did that was Georgie. Georgie was more realistic though. She saw me for the selfish, manipulative bitch that I am, but she loved me anyway because that's what sisters do. I'm sure you know that from Emily. Jason: Yeah. Maxie: I never really understood what Georgie saw in Spinelli until she died and I sort of inherited him. Spinelli figured out way too late that Georgie loved him. So he wanted to figure out who killed her, and I did, too. That why I went along with whole "jackal P.I." Thing, even though all of Spinelli's babbling really drove me crazy. Jason: He's brilliant, Maxie: Spinelli is brilliant Iknow that. Don't get ahead of me. Along with being brilliant, he's also kind and generous, even to me. He gives me credit for having good ideas. He gives me way more respect than I deserve. And somewhere along the line I went from being the bad blonde one to Maximista, which, believe it or not, has helped me see myself in a better light. Don't get me wrong, I didn't instantly become a good and noble person but has stood by me. And I just want to be as good to him as he is to me. Morgan: Mommy? Mommy? Carly: Hey. Hi, there. Morgan: Hi. Carly: Wow, popcorn. You brought it home for me? Morgan: Yeah. Carly: How was your movie? Morgan: Good Morgan: Why are you crying? Carly: Um, well - Mercedes: I'll take him upstairs. Carly: No it's ok. I'm crying because I made a mistake and I've been trying to figure out how to fix it. It was a big mistake so I don't know if it can be fixed, you know? Morgan: Yeah. Carly: Something that you're really, really sorry for and you apologize, but the person is that's what happened. Sometimes adults can get themselves in really big messes, but having you here with me morgan: I love you. Carly: Oh, come here. You have no idea how badly i need to hear that. Jerry: Hey, little brother.E with Carly? Jax: Because there is no home. That marriage is over. [Jerry laughs] Jerry: You're kidding. My god, you're serious. Do you want to talk about it? Jax: No, I don't want to get into the detail, you know? I just can't be with her anymore. Ned? Jax: Sorry, jerry, I just don't want to talk about it. Jerry: Come on, Jax. I know how much you love her, Jax. Tell me. I'm your brother. Nikolas: Y don't k through this whole thing. She's been saying it's her fault all along because she's the one who killed logan. Johnny: It was self-defense. Nikolas: And you saw that happen? An axe and she was terrified, so she grabbed the knife and defended herself. Nikolas: Why didn't you call 911 right there, john? Johnny: I should have. Lulu was in shock. Logan over his head with a wrench and put him in a coma. We were afraid that baldwin was going to go after her and charge her with murder. Nikolas: So johnny: And because of my interference, there's no way to prove that logan attacked lulu. Nikolas: Do you realize now that running has only made this whole thing worse? Johnny: She came in here with a gun in her purse.She was going to confmss, so i Nikolas: Yeah, yet another bad decision. Johnny: The point is, this is a death penalty case. Nikolas: If she gets on the stand, she'll confess. Johnny: Claudia: Ow. Ok. Sonny: I got it, I got it. Let's go. Claudia: I don't want to burn. Come on, get me out. Sonny: Can you walk? That scott will spin it so the jury will think that she was taken away so not to incriminate you. Johnny: I don't care. Let him. Nikolas: Oh, really? Well, let me tell you, son, I've been in prison and it's hell on earth. If you do get convicted and get the death penalty, you won't be able to change your mind. Johnny: I will be fine as long as I know that lulu's safe. Nikolas: You really do love her? Johnny: That' why I ha/is throuT. All this is happening to lulu because of me. I got her into my life knowing full well she could get hurt, and now she has. So now it's on me to fix this. So she'll agree to go? Lulu: I think I understand what you're talking about. As awful as everything has been,ll gright when you were waking up. It gave us this time together, time that I've needed s much. Laura: I'm so sorry you had to go through this awful time. You know if I could trade places with you, I would. Anythi laura: That's it. That's right. You heard me that time. Good, good. I'm proud of you. Lulu: Iúdo this all so much better than you realize. And I wish I could take the credit for it, but I can'T. Listen to me very often. I know, I didn't listen to my mother, either. Lulu: Oh. I mean, I think we all have to figure things out in our own time. And you're doing that now, and you will d lulu: M always going to need you, mom. Laura: And I will always lovehter. Honey, don't tell grandma that i didn't listen to her. [Lulu laughs] Lulu: Ok. Sam: Thinking about lulu? Lucky: Yeah, just watching a slow-motion train wreck and it's like standing in the distance, seeing the crash coming, and your sister, and I'm sure that means a lot to her. Lucky: I just remember the last I even saw this city. I was I remember how happy it made my mom. Home you knw, sher -- she had a white picket fence. [Lucky and sam laugh] Lucky: She had her family., You're restless and loved, loved, loved living on the edge. Until, finally, my mom fell apart. [Lucky sighs] Sam: I'm so sorry. I know you're hurting so bad right now. Sam: What? Appreciate what? Lucky: You. Sam: Me? Lucky: Yeah, I just feel like i ccn ng and never be judged. Sam: Well, you know, people don't have to be strong all the time. Unhappy. Lucky: Yeah, all my mom ever wanted was for us to look out for each other.Lulu, but half the time she only sees me as her enemy. Sam: Hey, just let it go. Just for tonight, we can pick this up in the morning. Miles just to get to you and I've done so many things I said I would not dor nothin no more lonely nights away from you Maxie: I know you probably don't believe me because you walked in that one time me and Spinelli had sex, and you probably think I'm awful and that I used him. It doesn't really matter because I feel like I used him. And in typical Spinelli fashion, he didn't get angry. Jason: Well, because he cares about you -- a lot. I mean, Spinelli respects you as a person, and ohim, too. Maxie: It's so much more than that. When he was hit by that car and I thought that he might die -- i you just think I'm annoying. Jason: No, no, no. Carly: Morgan didn't want to sleep. He's playing with his action figures. The green warriors are storming the blue warrior castle. Mercedes: Have they gotten over the moat yet? Carly: Mercedes, um, I want to thank you for taking care of morgan and not asking any 2 mercedes: Will you be all right? Carly: I don't think so.E toni mercedes: I'm sorry. Carly: Me, too.R morgan because he loves Jax so much and this is so soon after losing michael. And I'm especially sorry for Jaxf a lot more than what I wound up giving him. Mercedes: Maybe you're being too hard on your paying the price. Mercedes: Things will get better. Carly: Maybe.Just don't knowúwhy I couldn'tve just once chosen what's good instead of what hurts. Claudia: You saved my life. Sonny: No, michaelael's pocket knife? Sonny: We were walking through town years ago and he saw it in store, right? Claudia: Yeah. Sonny: He wanted it, y bo "dad" in a piece of wood and gave it to me. I just for the institution. I was going through his stuff and I saw it and I, uh -- i. [Sirens in distance] Claudia: Do you hear that? [Claudia groans] Ow. Sonny: Yo kno Sam: Well, I ran he said that he was there to warn Nikolas that there's a rumor on the street about a new influx of counterfeit drugs. Lucky: So jerry was doing a good deed? Or a second. And then he insisted on driving me home. Gross. Lucky: You think he was just trying to get you out of the clinic? Sam: I don't know. But I am gertainthe keyúto Karpov and t drugs. I just need more evidence to prove it. Karpov: I don't like loose ends. Technically, I've been deported. I'm here under an assumed name. I need results -- now. Karpov: Which is the only reason your brother is still breathing after having my visa revoked. Jerry: Once again, mr. Karpov, not to worry.E for a regrettably tragic accident at the emily quartermaine free clinic. Karpov: When? Jerry: As soon as all the Jason: I have to go out again, so I need you to look after Spinelli. Maxie: Ok. That's kind of why I'm here. Maxie: This sounds like you trust me. What's the catch? Jason: Don't touch my stuff and quit asking questions. Maxie: Oh, ok, so you don't realre familiar. Maxie: Yes, we have a deal. Thanks, by the way. Jason: For what? Maxie: Not kicking meúout. Maxie: Well, that makes two of us. Maxie: Spinelli? Paramedic: Temperature's normal. B.P. Is slightly elevated at 150 over 85. Officer: No clear indication of which driver was at fault. Claudiaúand paramedic: Sit down, sir. Another ambulance is on its way. Claudia: Am I going to be ok?Fine. You saved my life. And when the time comes -- sonn mercedes: Jax, come in. Mercedes: No, she took morgan and left. She didn't say where she was going or when she would be back. ( Soft guitar playing ) Updated again later
Sep 11, 2008 02:08
Sam: This is odd. Jerry Jacks, alone in the clinic after hours. You want to tell me what this is all about?
Jerry: What a coincidence. I was going to ask the same thing about you.
Sam: You first. Why are you here?
Jerry: Well, oddly enough, your mother.
Jason: You looking for something?
Maxie: You know, you really shouldn't sneak up on your house guests. It's rude.
Jason: Why were you looking through the closet?
Maxie: I, uh -- it's chilly upstairs. You might not have noticed because you're practically cold-blooded. But I wanted Spinelli to be comfortable, so I came down to get him another blanket.
Jason: Why don't you try being honest for once?
Maxie: I mentioned earlier about Karpov's people being behind Spinelli's hit-and-run and you got upset and left to do mysterious mob business. I heard on the news two Russian guys got beat up and --
Jason: And what?
Maxie: I wanted to see if your gun had been fired.
Jason: What if it had? Carly: I'm standing here and I'm trying to explain to you what happened, but these explanations just sound like excuses. And there's no excuse for what -- there's no excuse for me having sex with Sonny. And I have nothing to say in my defense. I'm just so sorry. I'm so sorry, Jax. And I love you so much. I love you with all my heart, and I just pray that you still love me. You're the only man that I want. You're the only man that I ever want. Just, please, let this be where we start over.
Jax: I waited such a long time for this, to know that you love only me, to know that you're truly committed to this marriage.
Carly: Do you believe me?
Jax: Yeah, I do.
Sonny: Claudia? You okay? Hey, can you hear me?
[Claudia groans]
Claudia: What the hell?
Sonny: You okay?
Claudia: What -- what happened? What were we do -- my God. Oh, you were driving like a maniac.
Sonny: No, I think what happened is you took a wide turn.
Claudia: Well, you were practically in my lane.
Sonny: Okay, well --
Claudia: Oh -- oh, my God.
Johnny: I asked to speak to Nikolas.
Lucky: Yeah, well whatever you want, you can't play on my brother's sympathy to get it.
Johnny: Where is he?
Lucky: He's in lockup.
Johnny: What happened?
Lucky: This trial is what happened. Scott Baldwin, he's out for blood. He doesn't give a damn about Lulu, and he's going to make you pay for murdering his son. Nikolas, he lost his mind and he punched Baldwin, so he got arrested. So whatever you planned on telling him, you're going to have to tell me instead.
Johnny: No, thanks.
Lucky: Yeah, because I'm a cop, or because I'm a brother who realizes how bad you are for my sister?
Johnny: You have no idea what I've done for your sister.
Lucky: Oh, sure I do. You're the reason she lost her mind.
Laura: Oh, Lulu, is that you, honey?
Lulu: Yeah, I'm sorry, I know it's late.
Laura: Oh, that's okay. Come on in. Turn on the lights.
Lulu: Are you sure this is okay?
Laura: Yes, it's all right. I was awake a lot, too. I was thinking about you.
Lulu: I just can't even believe that this is happening, that you are here.
Laura: It was a very hard day for you. There have been so many times when I haven't been able to be there for you. I really want to help you now.
Lulu: Well, that's the thing. I just -- I don't even know if you can.
Laura: Mm, I can do this. There you go.
Maxie: Obviously, I didn't have enough time to find your gun. And even if it had been fired, I wouldn't do anything.
Jason: Then why go looking for it?
Maxie: Because I'm curious like that. I have a problem. I think people are really interesting and full of surprises. Like you -- I mean, who knew that you had a designer suit? That's really nice fabric --
Jason: Don't touch my stuff.
Maxie: Okay. I'm kind of nosy. I'm sure you have a whole arsenal full of weapons, and I don't even want to think about what you do with those. That's another problem. I have an extremely active imagination. Feel free to say anything, anything you want.
Jason: You're the police commissioner's daughter. Can you see how it compromises me to have you in my house?
Maxie: But I would never give my dad any information about you. Or to another cop, or anything like that.
Jason: Not intentionally.
Maxie: Look, Spinelli worships you, okay? If something happened to you because of me, he would be wrecked. He'd end up blaming himself. And no matter what I would say, that wouldn't change it. So bottom line, my lips are sealed, okay?
Jason: It would wreck Spinelli if something happened to you.
Maxie: Do you think you could clarify that for me?
Sam: Why would you come to this clinic because of my mother?
Jerry: Before I submit to this interrogation, what is the reason for your nocturnal visit?
Sam: Oh, me, yeah. See, Nikolas is my cousin and he normally works late, so I was coming by to see how everything was going.
Jerry: Oh, how considerate.
Sam: Sure. Back to you, Jerry. What does my mother have to do with this clinic?
Jerry: Well, according to my sources, a new shipment of counterfeit drugs is expected in Port Charles shortly.
Sam: Okay, why don't you just call the police?
Jerry: I'd rather handle it in a more, shall we say, self-serving way? You see, I came here to warn Nikolas so he in turn could put in a good word for me with Alexis. But since you're here, I'd be very glad if you could pass on the message. That would be great.
Sam: So, wait a minute. You want me to think, what, that my mother's reforming you?
Jerry: No, I want Alexis to believe it.
Sam: Well, you know, I don't think that Nikolas is going to say anything nice about you to my mother. Besides, he's not here. So maybe it is time for you to go.
Jerry: Well, I just arrived here moments before you did. And since this conversation is becoming both tedious and counterproductive, I think there's no reason for us to stay here, so --
Sam: Great, go. I mean, you can go. I'm actually going to write Nikolas a little note.
Jerry: No, no, no. I mean, this part of town, you know -- the crime rate is abominable. I wouldn't dream of leaving you by yourself, no.
Sam: I'll be fine, thank you.
Jerry: No, no, no. You're alone and I assume, unarmed. You know, you can call your cousin in the morning. I'll drive you home. I'm not leaving you.
Sam: Fine.
Carly: If we're committed to getting past this and working on our marriage, we can do it, Jax. We can make it work.
Jax: You know, Carly, I thought that this marriage would last forever. I really did. That I'd be a father to Morgan and we'd have children of our own and we'd grow old together, but that requires trust.
Carly: I will earn your trust.
Jax: Every time you slept with Sonny, it was like a knife through my heart. And you said that it wouldn't happen again, and I took you at your word.
Carly: It will never, never happen again.
Jax: You're right, it won't, because it won't be cheating because we won't be married.
Carly: I will be faithful to you for the rest of our lives. You just tell me what I can say or do to prove that to you.
Jax: I'm sorry.
Carly: I'm sorry. I just keep going over and over in my head every single thing that lead up to that moment and -- you wanted to drive me to the institution and bring me home and I should have said yes.
[Jax sighs]
Carly: I should have let you console me and I should have never been alone with Sonny at a time with such grief. And when we turned to each other, I should have just said no and I should have considered the fallout.
Jax: Yeah, but you didn't.
Carly: No, I didn't. I should -- I should have said no out of respect for you and for us and our wedding vows and I didn't and I --
Jax: Don't torture yourself. Don't torture yourself with the "should haves" and "what ifs." I know that you regret it. I -- I do.
Carly: Then, please, Jax, let me make this up to you. Please.
Jax: No, Carly, it's over. I hope with time I find a way to stop loving you.
Operator's voice: All systems are busy. Please hold and an operator will be with you shortly.
Sonny: Damn, I can't get through to 911.
Claudia: Just keep trying, okay?
Sonny: Look, you need help, so I'm going to call my people.
Claudia: You don't -- you don't have people anymore. You quit the mafia, remember?
Sonny: I will call Max and Milo. They will get you out of here.
Claudia: Look, um, I don't know what's wrong with me. I can't -- I can't feel my legs. Maybe I'm in shock or maybe my back is broken. I don't want to end up paralyzed, so could you please just keep trying to call 911?
Sonny: Yeah, yeah, we'll get them.
Jason: You think you're helping Spinelli? You're doing the opposite.
Maxie: This is so unfair.
Jason: He tells you things he shouldn't tell you. You go on stakeouts with him. You barge in here with your crazy cover-up stories when he's getting in trouble.
Maxie: Don't even think about criticizing me for that. If I hadn't barged in and told Karpov's lawyers that me and Spinelli were having kinky waterfront sex, they would have pulled his arms out of his sockets.
Jason: That was a risk Spinelli chose to take he shouldn't have.
Maxie: Trying to impress you.
Jason: Or you.
Maxie: Please. Spinelli thinks that you are the coolest guy on the face of the planet. He's constantly trying to impress you by acting way tougher than he actually is, throwing himself into danger --
Jason: Yeah, and you follow him.
Maxie: Because I don't want him to get hurt.
Jason: What do you think it would do to Spinelli if you get hurt trying to help him? You really need to stop. You're only making things worse.
Carly: Jax, we love each other. Please, give me one more chance.
Jax: No, I'd only be setting us up to fail.
Carly: We wouldn't fail. I love you so much and I will make you so happy.
Jax: You know, I didn't realize it until now, but this is why I kept running away. I didn't want to invest too much because I knew that this day was coming. That one day you'd push me too far and I would have to leave.
Carly: This day can come and go like any other. You have the power to decide that.
Jax: Yeah. When Kate told me that you slept with Sonny, something died inside of me.
Carly: Don't -- don't say that.
Jax: No, you hurt me more than I ever thought possible, Carly. It's over.
Sam: Okay, here I am, home safe and sound.
Jerry: A beautiful woman such as yourself shouldn't be wandering about in this part of town, even one as capable as you.
Sam: I suppose this is where I'm supposed to tell my mother how gallant you've been.
Jerry: Oh, it would be much simpler for you and for me if only I were using Alexis.
Sam: But you're not, of course. I think it's just a wild coincidence that she happens to be the D.A.
Jerry: Well, considering my unsavory past, it does come in handy, doesn't it?
Sam: But it's never crossed your mind?
Jerry: Oh, it has. Many times. The only problem is, I genuinely care about Alexis. I've tried not to, but there you have it. Maybe I should do something like -- uncharacteristically noble, like finding a way to make her hate me. What do you think?
Sam: If there's any way you need me to move that along, you just let me know.
Jerry: You know what? You might be even more useful than you realize, darling.
Johnny: I gave up my freedom for your sister, you know that? Hmm? I could be across the border by now, but I took her to Shadybrook instead because she needed help.
Lucky: She wouldn't have needed to be there at all if it weren't for you.
Johnny: I didn't want her involved in this mess.
Lucky: I warned you the day I found you in your garden shed that she was too fragile and couldn't handle the mayhem in your life.
Johnny: So I screwed up! Now I'm trying to fix it.
Lucky: You're the reason Lulu's this way. And I have no sympathy to spare.
Johnny: Then find some sympathy for your sister, Lucky. The only person who can help her is Nikolas, so let me talk to him.
Sonny: How you doing?
Claudia: Well, I can feel my legs a little bit, but it hurts like hell.
Sonny: All right, I'm going to try 911 again.
Operator's voice: 911, what's your emergency?
Sonny: Yeah, we've had a car crash, um, on, um, Skyline Drive past the intersection of Valley Road. And the thing is, the person in the other car is badly hurt. Yeah, she could be internally bleeding, I think, so you need to get here as soon as you can. Bye. You smell that? That's gas. Come on.
Claudia: Get me out.
Jax: I don't want to hurt you anymore.
Carly: You just want to leave.
Jax: Yeah. I'm sorry.
Carly: Well, I want you to know that, um, loving you has been the happiest time of my life. I guess that was the problem, you know? I didn't really know what to do with something good, so I just wrecked it.
Jax: Good-bye.
Jax: Carly. You know, maybe -- maybe you'll find someone some day, and maybe I will, too.
Carly: I love you.
Jason: When Spinelli is in danger and you go in after him, you're just telling him you don't think he can handle it on his own.
Maxie: So I should wait for Spinelli to be injured or killed?
Jason: No, I'm just saying that he does not want you to save him, but you do it anyway.
Maxie: I respect Spinelli's ambition to be a tough guy, even though I think it's a waste. Spinelli is brilliant. So why not let you be the one to be shot at or run over by a car? For some weird reason, I actually think you like it.
Jason: Great, great. Have you told Spinelli this stuff?
Maxie: Of course, but he's fixated on being just like you. Always wanting to be thrown into danger, having to act so tough. Speaking of, don't you think it's time maybe you show Spinelli some tricks or something?
Jason: What do you mean, tricks?
Maxie: You know, danger dude stuff like hand-to-hand combat or karate?
Jason: I'm not going to teach Spinelli martial arts.
Maxie: Why not? You're street smart, Spinelli isn't. I mean, you need to give him tools so he can protect himself.
Jason: When did this become about me?
Maxie: Don't be so egocentric. It's about me. I have to make sure Spinelli's okay. I need him around. I don't know what I would do if he wasn't. I --
Jason: You what?
Lucky: Hey, I don't want to risk blowing our cover, but I just needed to see you.
Sam: What's wrong?
Lucky: Johnny Zacchara. He wants to see Nikolas.
Sam: Why?
Lucky: He didn't say. Something about helping Lulu.
Sam: Okay, so what, did you arrange it?
Lucky: You know, I just want to trust that Nikolas will not do anything that's going to hurt Lulu.
Sam: No, no, no. Come on, Nikolas loves Lulu as much as you do.
Lucky: I know, I know, but Nikolas has this messed up idea that Johnny can save Lulu when he's the only reason that she's losing her mind.

Wednesday September 10th part 2 (taken from Megasite.com)
Laura: There have been more times than I can count where I've felt trapped and helpless and even hopeless. And that's the worst, because that one little word, "hope," it's like a life raft that you can hold on to when things get really tough.
Lulu: Here I thought whenever you felt like that, you would pull some trick out of that big bag Dad said you always carried around.
Laura: Oh, yeah, there was that. But hope, honey, is sometimes a decision, you know? It's a state of mind and of heart.
Lulu: Mine kind of doesn't work together well, or at least when it should.
Laura: You know, I listen to you and sometimes I just shudder because you're so hard on yourself.
Lulu: Hard on myself?
Laura: Yes.
Lulu: Look at what I've done to Logan, to Johnny, to me. And they weren't my first casualties.
Laura: And they probably won't be your last. You know why? You're human. You make mistakes. We all make mistakes, honey, and that's good. That's how we learn. It's true. Oh, I wish there was some way I could give you perspective.
Lulu: And hope.
Laura: You know about the time that I was held captive by the Cassadines on that island, right, by that horrible man who called himself Nikolas' father. It was one of the worst times in my life. All I wanted was to go home and to see Luke.
[Laura sighs]
Laura: So I just sat in my room night after night, and I stared out the window into the darkness and then the thoughts would start and the panic would rise. And sometimes, I would even just go out and walk the halls in the middle of the night. But no matter where I started, I always ended at the same spot.
Lulu: Where?
Laura: The nursery. I would go in and I'd stand over Nikolas' crib and I would look down at my beautiful little baby, so perfect, such a miracle. And then I'd put my hand on his little chest and I could feel his breathing, slow and even. And then my breathing would start to slow. My heart would stop pounding out of my chest and a peace would just sort of wash over me. And I felt hope. And when I walked out of that room, I always left stronger than when I came in because I knew that Nikolas was a blessing to me, but I didn't realize then how much. It's not just that he's grown into a fabulous man and that he's a wonderful brother to you, but, honey, he saved your life. He was the only donor, the only match when you were sick. So you see, I had to go through all of that misery so that there would be a baby Nikolas who could one day save my beautiful baby Lulu. You see? Out of something horrible, something wonderful happened. And that's how it is. When we least expect it. That's how it works. That's perspective.
Johnny: Lucky talked to you?
Nikolas: Yes, but he made me promise that I'd tell him everything we discuss.
Johnny: Can't. He'll try to stop you.
Nikolas: Stop me from what?
Johnny: Getting Lulu out of the country. You've got to check her out of Shadybrook and get her as far away from here as possible. Because if she's not gone, Baldwin will put her on the stand.
Nikolas: I agree that she's in no shape to testify. That's just kind of a lot to ask for right now.
Johnny: She can't testify.
Nikolas: John, we're all worried about her, okay? But I just don't think the answer to this is taking her away from the people she cares about.
Johnny: If you care about your sister, Nikolas, if you love her, you will get her as far away from here as possible until the trial is over. Nikolas, it's not about saving me. It's about saving her.
Nikolas: Oh, my God. She killed Logan, didn't she?
Claudia: Okay, you're right. That's gas. Get me out.
Sonny: Hold still for a second.
Sonny: The buckle's stuck. I'm trying to pull it out.
Claudia: What's wrong with it? Come on.
Sonny: Let me try something, okay? You've got to hold still. Just hold still.
Claudia: Oh, my God. Okay, cut it. Come on, just cut it.
Maxie: Spinelli actually believes in me. The only other person who ever did that was Georgie. Georgie was a little more realistic, though. She saw me for the selfish, manipulative bitch that I am, but she loved me anyway because that's what sisters do. I'm sure you know that from Emily.
Jason: Yeah.
Maxie: I never really understood what Georgie saw in Spinelli until she died and I sort of inherited him. Spinelli figured out way too late that Georgie loved him. So he wanted to figure out who killed her, and I did, too. That's why I went along with the whole "Jackal P.I." thing, even though all of Spinelli's babbling really drove me crazy.
Jason: He's brilliant.
Maxie: Spinelli is brilliant, I know that. Don't get ahead of me. Along with being brilliant, he's also kind and generous, even to me. He gives me credit for having good ideas. He gives me way more respect than I deserve. Somewhere along the line, I went from being the bad blonde one to Maximista, which, believe it or not, has helped me see myself in a better light. Don't get me wrong, I didn't instantly become a good and noble person, but Spinelli has stood by me. And I just want to be as good to him as he is to me.
Morgan: Mommy? Mommy?
Carly: Hey. Hi, there.
Morgan: Hi.
Carly: Wow, popcorn. You brought it home for me?
Morgan: Yeah.
Carly: How was your movie?
Morgan: Good.
Mercedes: Long.
Morgan: Why are you crying?
Carly: Um, well --
Mercedes: I'll take him upstairs.
Carly: No, that's okay. Mommy's crying because I made a mistake and I've been trying to figure out how to fix it. But it was a pretty big mistake, so I don't know if it can be fixed, you know?
Carly: You know how when you do something that you're really, really sorry for and you apologize, but the person is still really upset? That's what happened. Sometimes adults can get themselves in really big messes, but having you here with me makes me feel much better.
Morgan: I love you.
Carly: Oh, come here. Thank you. You have no idea how badly I need to hear that.
Jerry: Hey, little brother. What are you doing her? Why aren't you home with Carly?
Jax: Because there is no home. That marriage is over.
Jerry: You're kidding. My God, you're serious. What happened? Do you want to talk about it?
Jax: No, I don't want to get into the detail, you know? I just can't be with her anymore.
Jerry: I can't believe it. This is ridiculous. Tell me what happened. What happened?
Jax: Sorry, Jerry, I just don't want to talk about it.
Jerry: Come on, Jax. I know how much you love her, Jax. Tell me. I'm your brother.
Nikolas: I don't know how I didn't see this before. She's been riddled with guilt through this whole thing. She's been saying it's her fault all along because she's the one who killed Logan.
Johnny: It was self-defense.
Nikolas: And you saw that happen?
Johnny: No, I got there too late. But Logan went after her with an axe and she was terrified, so she grabbed the knife and defended herself.
Nikolas: Why didn't you call 911 right there, John?
Johnny: I should have. Lulu was in shock. And a few months ago, she hit Logan over his head with a wrench and put him in a coma. We were afraid that Baldwin was going to go after her and charge her with murder.
Nikolas: So what you did was cover for Lulu. You got rid of the evidence and dumped the body.
Johnny: And because of my interference, there's no way to prove that Logan attacked Lulu.
Nikolas: Do you realize now that running has only made this whole thing worse?
Johnny: She came in here with a gun in her purse. She was going to confess, so I got her out of here the only way I saw possible.
Nikolas: Yeah, yet another bad decision.
Johnny: The point is, this is a death penalty case.
Nikolas: If she gets on the stand, she'll confess.
Johnny: Which is why you have to get her out of the country now.
Claudia: Ow. Okay.
Sonny: I got it, I got it. Let's go.
Claudia: I don't want to burn. Come on, get me out.
Sonny: Can you walk?
Claudia: I don't know. I'm going to try.
Sonny: You got it?
Claudia: Uh-huh.
Nikolas: If I do get her out of the country, I guarantee you that Scott will spin it so the jury will think that she was taken away so not to incriminate you.
Johnny: I don't care. Let him.
Nikolas: Oh, really? Well, let me tell you, son, I've been in prison and it's hell on earth. If you do get convicted and get the death penalty, you won't be able to change your mind.
Johnny: I will be fine as long as I know that Lulu's safe.
Nikolas: You really do love her?
Johnny: That's why I have to see this through. Hey, your brother's right. All this is happening to Lulu because of me. I got her into my life knowing full well she could get hurt, and now she has. So now it's on me to fix this. So, please, take her away and keep her safe.
Nikolas: Do you really think she'll agree to go?
Lulu: I think I understand what you're talking about. As awful as everything has been, it still got me in this place right when you were waking up. It gave us this time together, time that I've needed so much.
Laura: I'm so sorry you had to go through this awful time. You know if I could trade places with you, I would.
Lulu: But I wouldn't be learning anything that way, would I?
Laura: That's it. That's right. You heard me that time. Good, good. I'm proud of you.
Lulu: I don't know what for.
Laura: Because you're handling this all so much better than you realize. And I wish I could take the credit for it, but I can't. Oh, come on, I know you don't listen to me very often. I know, I didn't listen to my mother, either.
Lulu: Oh.
Laura: It's true. I mean, I think we all have to figure things out in our own time. And you're doing that now, and you will do it more and more often with or without me.
Lulu: I'm always going to need you, Mom.
Laura: And I will always love you, my precious little daughter. Honey, don't tell Grandma that I didn't listen to her.
[Lulu laughs]
Lulu: Okay.
Sam: Thinking about Lulu?
Lucky: Yeah, just watching a slow-motion train wreck and it's like standing in the distance, seeing the crash coming, and there's no way to stop it.
Sam: Hey, all you can do is love your sister, and I'm sure that means a lot to her.
Lucky: I just remember the last I even saw this city. I was like -- I was like 11. I remember how happy it made my mom. When she got home, you know, she just -- she had a white picket fence.
[Lucky and Sam laugh]
Lucky: She had her family. But my dad, you know, he was restless and loved, loved, loved living on the edge. Until, finally, my mom fell apart. And now it's happening with Lulu.
[Lucky sighs]
Sam: I'm so sorry. I know you're hurting so bad right now.
Lucky: I appreciate this, I do.
Sam: What? Appreciate what?
Lucky: You.
Sam: Me?
Lucky: Yeah, I just feel like I can talk to you and tell you anything and never be judged.
Sam: Well, you know, people don't have to be strong all the time. And Lulu's in trouble, so you have every right to feel sad and unhappy.
Lucky: Yeah, all my mom ever wanted was for us to look out for each other. That's what I'm trying to do for Lulu, but half the time she only sees me as her enemy.
Sam: Hey, just let it go. Just for tonight, Lucky. We can pick this up in the morning.
Singer: I flew for miles and miles just to get to you and I've done so many things I said I would not do nothing could keep me away from you no more lonely nights away from you
Maxie: I know you probably don't believe me because you walked in that one time me and Spinelli had sex, and you probably think I'm awful and that I used him.
Jason: No, um --
Maxie: It doesn't really matter because I feel like I used him. And in typical Spinelli fashion, he didn't get angry.
Jason: Well, because he cares about you -- a lot. I mean, Spinelli respects you as a person, and obviously you respect him, too.
Maxie: It's so much more than that. When he was hit by that car and I thought that he might die -- I don't even know why I'm telling you this. You just think I'm annoying.
Jason: No, no, no. I'm glad you're here. I need your help.
Carly: Morgan didn't want to sleep. He's playing with his action figures. The green warriors are storming the blue warrior castle.
Mercedes: Have they gotten over the moat yet?
Carly: A couple fell in.
Mercedes: I'll go lower the drawbridge.
Carly: Mercedes, um, I want to thank you for taking care of Morgan and not asking any questions.
Mercedes: Will you be all right?
Carly: I don't think so. Jax left me tonight and he's not coming back.
Mercedes: I'm sorry.
Carly: Me, too. I'm sorry for Morgan because he loves Jax so much and this is so soon after losing Michael. And I'm especially sorry for Jax because he deserves a hell of a lot more than what I wound up giving him.
Mercedes: Maybe you're being too hard on yourself.
Carly: No. No, I did all this and now I'm paying the price.
Mercedes: Things will get better.
Carly: Maybe. I just don't know why I couldn't have just once chosen what's good instead of what hurts.
Claudia: You saved my life.
Sonny: No, Michael did.
Claudia: That was Michael's pocket knife?
Sonny: We were walking through town years ago and he saw it in the window of the department store, right?
Claudia: Yeah.
Sonny: He wanted it, I bought it. One Christmas he carved out "Dad" in a piece of wood and gave it to me. I just forgot about it, you know, until after I took him to the institution. I was going through his stuff and I saw it and I, uh -- I never go anywhere without it.
[Sirens in distance]
Claudia: Do you hear that?
[Claudia groans] Ow.
Sonny: You know what? You just need to -- you need to not move. Just -- just be still.
Sam: Well, I ran into Jerry today at the clinic. He said that he was there to warn Nikolas that there's a rumor on the street about a new influx of counterfeit drugs.
Lucky: So Jerry was doing a good deed?
Sam: Oh, I don't know. I don't buy it for a second. And then he insisted on driving me home. Gross.
Lucky: You think he was just trying to get you out of the clinic?
Sam: I don't know. But I am certain that Jerry is the key to Karpov and the counterfeit drugs. I just need more evidence to prove it.
Karpov: I don't like loose ends. Technically, I've been deported. I'm here under an assumed name. I need results -- now.
Jerry: Mr. Karpov, I told you I would handle it.
Karpov: Which is the only reason your brother is still breathing after having my visa revoked.
Jerry: Once again, Mr. Karpov, not to worry. Preparations have been made for a regrettably tragic accident at the Emily Quartermaine Free Clinic.
Karpov: When?
Jerry: As soon as all the victims are in place.
Jason: I have to go out again, so I need you to look after Spinelli.
Maxie: Okay. That's kind of why I'm here.
Jason: Okay, good. Stay in his room and just make sure he's resting comfortably.
Maxie: This sounds like you trust me. What's the catch?
Jason: Don't touch my stuff and quit asking questions.
Maxie: Oh, okay, so you don't really trust me. That sounds more familiar.
Jason: Do we have a deal?
Maxie: Yes, we have a deal. Thanks, by the way.
Jason: For what?
Maxie: Not kicking me out.
Jason: Just doing it for Spinelli.
Maxie: Well, that makes two of us.
Maxie: Spinelli?
Paramedic: Temperature's normal. B.P. is slightly elevated at 150 over 85.
Officer: No clear indication of which driver was at fault.
Claudia and Sonny: He/she was.
Officer: Both victims claim the other caused the accident.
Paramedic: Sit down, sir. Another ambulance is on its way.
Claudia: Am I going to be okay?
Sonny: Yeah, you're going to be fine.
Claudia: I owe you. You saved my life. And when the time comes --
Sonny: If the time comes.
Claudia: People like us, it always does.
Mercedes: Jax, come in.
Jax: Carly and Morgan upstairs?
Mercedes: No, she took Morgan and left. She didn't say where she was going or when she would be back.
Sep 11, 2008 04:42
Kate: New york state, not new york city. Oh, yes, i am well aware of how far it is from milan, and i'msure that you'll find a way.
Clarice: The revised mockups from the printers. I included the final cost projection in the timeline. The floral designer has called twice. I have six emails from the photographer, and we'll need to revise the mockups if -- what should i tell people about the wedding?
Kate: Cancel the flowers, the photographer, and the caterer immediately. I need to see the mockup for plan b for the bridal issue, and just call back as many invitations as possible, because the wedding is definitely off.
Sonny: Did you really think i'd give up on you that easy?
Jerry: Sorry to disappoint, dr. Hunter, but i am not planning on murdering anyone. That could certainly change if you choose to manhandle another woman in my presence.
Matt: Then why are you hanging around here?
Jerry: Well, i came here to see a friend of mine at the clinic, but she isn't there.
Matt: Ok. So then, get going.
Jerry: I was very lenient with you in the alleyway with you the other day, given the situation. Don't make me regret that choice.
Matt: This is a free clinic. People show up here because they don't have health insurance. They're already upset and scared when they arrive. They don't need to find a man in a suit with a gun hanging around. You might scare them off.
Jerry: I wouldn't dream of it.
Jason: Did you see the court order? Shadybrook doctor: It was signed by a judge.
Jason: Ok, why didn't you notify the family?
Shadybrook doctor: Miss spencer seemed eager to cooperate. I couldn't hold her here against her will.
Elizabeth: Jason, what are you doing here? Where's lulu?
Edward: That child is in no condition to testify.
Epiphany: It's a disgrace.
Tracy: Since when does the special prosecutor get to troll the psych ward for witnesses?
Judge aroyo: Whoever you are, sit.
Tracy: Doesn't anybody care about what's happened to this girl?
Scott: Well, at least she's alive to tell about it.
Tracy: No thanks to you.
Scott: Now you listen to me, tracy. The jury is going to hear what happened that night.
Edward: It's bad enough to have to sit through this circus, but now to sit here and have this little girl dragged in here and then forced --
judge aroyo: That's enough, juror two.
Tracy: Daddy, you be quiet.
Edward: So, where's your reprobate husband when his daughter really needs him?
Tracy: Don't make this about luke.
Edward: Luke spencer is the only reason these charges were even brought in this case.
Judge aroyo: Who is luke spencer?
Tracy: Luke spencer is your witness's father. Your special prosecutor has had a vendetta against him for 30 years.
Scott: Objection, your honor. She is trying to taint the jury.
Edward: I'm tainted. Send me home.
Judge aroyo: Enough. All of you, sit.
Ric: Your honor, if i may. My client is on trial for his life here. Now, i don't think any of us want to send a man to death row based on the testimony of a mental patient.
kate: What happened to you?
Sonny: I'm all right.
Clarice: I'll start making those calls.
Kate: So, did you get in a fight, or did you manage to get arrested?
Sonny: No, actually, i was upset, and i had no business driving.
Kate: You were in a car accident?
Sonny: Yeah, yeah, head-on. Two cars totaled. Claudia zacchara is in the hospital.
Kate: Well, that didn't take you long.
Sonny: She was driving the other car. She made a wide turn, and i was driving too fast.
Kate: Is she all right?
Sonny: Yeah, she's fine, i guess.
Kate: Do you want to call her? Why don't you call her? You can use my phone.
Sonny: I thought you forgave me for claudia.
Kate: Have you been sleeping with her all along, or is it just carly?
Sonny: Do you want to have this talk again, or whatever? But look, here's -- here's the situation, ok? I'm in love with you, only you, and we are going to get married.
Kate: Who the hell do you think that you are dealing with? I am not going to spend the rest of my marriage looking the other way.
Sonny: How about if you think about it like i'm going to spend the rest of our lives making it up to you?
Kate: There is no "the rest of our lives." We are over.
Robin: Your brother is on trial for his life, so of course you would do anything you possibly could for patrick to let you out of the hospital. It would be tacky if it weren't so sad.
Claudia: Well, maybe you don't understand what family really means, but i do. That's why nothing is going to keep me out of that court and keep me from standing up for my little brother.
Patrick: We can't keep you here against your will, but if you were to sign out, you'd be doing it against doctor's orders. If you were to die, it's not our responsibility.
Claudia: I understand. I'm going to finish getting dressed now, so you can leave or, you know, if you'd like to watch, although that does seem a little adventurous for one of you.
Patrick: It's your life to risk.
Patrick: Thank you for not jumping to conclusions.
Robin: Of course. I wouldn't think that. I love you, and i know that you love me, and i've been thinking --
[beeper goes off]
patrick: I'm sorry. I'm going to have to take that. I'll see you later though, right?
Robin: Yeah.
Patrick: Ok, bye.
Nadine: So, are you saying that lulu loves johnny because she's crazy or that she went crazy because she loves him.
Nikolas: No, i'm saying that lulu needs to get out of port charles for a little while. That's what i'm saying.
Nikolas: Excuse me. Hello?
Jason: Some assistant d.A. And cop took lulu to court.
Nikolas: Thank you. Thanks for letting me know.
Nadine: Is lulu ok?
Nikolas: Baldwin had her picked up to testify. I need to get to the courthouse.
Elizabeth: Why does scott even want lulu's testimony? She's obviously very sick.
Jason: Baldwin -- what he wants is he wants lulu to admit that -- that she played logan and johnny against each other, provoked a murder, and then helped johnny escape.
Elizabeth: Can you do that?
Jason: Judge signed the court order. He can pretty much do whatever he wants, make lulu testify.
Elizabeth: At least you tried.
Jason: Yeah, i just wish there was more i could do.
Elizabeth: I've been thinking a lot about us.I know you think if we start seeing each other, we will only want more.
Jason: I will never be able to give you what you want.
Elizabeth: Well, i gave up that dream of being married with a white picket fence a long time ago. I just don't see why we can't have a very private relationship. Why can't we just take what we can give each other and be happy?
Jason: I just don't think it can work.
Judge aroyo: Approach the bench.
Edward: Look at that poor little girl. She's absolutely crazy, just like her mother Oh, God, it's such a tragedy.
Ron: What's the point of putting the girl through this?
Mrs. Albright: Prosecutor must believe that she has important information, the poor thing.
Epiphany: You know, i know we're supposed to keep an open mind, but i don't like this one bit.
Ric: Miss spencer is in no condition to testify, and mr. Baldwin well knows it.
Scott: She's faking.
Ric: Look, i can present evidence of paranoia and delusions as well as a history of mental illness.
Scott: Lulu spencer's the reason why john zacchara and logan hayes fought. Her testimony is crucial to the prosecution.
Ric: Her testimony is unreliable by definition
Scott: The jury should hear all sides of the story, lansing.
Judge aroyo: I'll allow miss spencer's testimony.
Scott: Thank you.
Edward: If she calls a mistrial, i'll be home in time for cocktail hour.
Epiphany and ron: Cocktail hour?
Edward: Yeah.
Judge aroyo: Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your patience. Miss spencer, please take the witness stand.
Johnny: You can't let this happen.
Ric: Shut up before you make things worse.
Lulu: Yes.
Judge aroyo: Proceed, mr. Baldwin.
Scott: Thank you, your honor. Good afternoon, miss spencer. Let me just get right to it. Did you know logan hayes?
Scott: How would you characterize your relationship with him?
Lulu: It was complicated.
Scott: Were you and him ever boyfriend and girlfriend?
Lulu: Kind of.
Scott: Did you have sex with him?
Scott: Did you see him on the night that he was murdered?
Johnny: No, lulu, no. Don't say another word.
[Gavel striking]
Sonny: We can't let a misunderstanding like this mess everything up.
Kate: There is no misunderstanding. You slept with carly in may. You've been lying to me about it for months, and the only reason i found out is because my assistant told me.
Sonny: I don't blame you for being upset.
Kate: Oh, really? Thanks so much. That's so generous of you, although canceling my one and only wedding because my fiance was sleeping around just makes me a little bit more than upset.
Sonny: What carly and i did in that limo had nothing to do with me and you. It was one bad night.
Kate: I'm not going to presume to understand what it feels like to lose a child. I can't even imagine that kind of pain. If you had just told me, but you didn't. You lied to me for months.
Sonny: I made --
kate: You would have gone on lying gladly.
Sonny: I made a mistake. Yes, i should have told you, but i'm owning it now.
Kate: Yeah, sure you're owning it now, because you got caught.
Sonny: Nothing changed.
Kate: Everything has changed. I am going to cut my losses before any more damage is done.
Sonny: You don't want to do that. You know that, right?
Kate: Well, you know what? I walked away from you once, didn't i? I can certainly do it again.
Sonny: Ok, but listen to me.You loved me when we were growing up in bensonhurst, and you still love me.
Kate: Loving you is not the issue.
Sonny: You told me once that i got everything i wanted. In a way, you do, too. We've both had to pay for things. We've made some hard choices, and look what you got now. Look what we can have if we stay together.
Kate: No, a marriage with you would be a disaster.
Sonny: I don't believe that, and you don't mean it.
Kate: I -- i believed the fantasy that we could get together after all of these years and fall in love again. I -- i let myself believe that, but yes, you know what? It's fine, because i do like the life that i've built for myself.
Sonny: And i have no place in that life? Is that what you're saying?
Kate: Yes.
Sonny: Oh, ok, so you're going to just believe what everybody says, that, you know, our lives are too different and i'm in love with carly and all that stuff, and no matter how much we love each other, you know, it's not going to work out?
Kate: That's exactly what i'm saying.
Sonny: Then why are you still wearing my ring? You want me to tell you why? Because you love me, and i'll wait as long as i have to wait for you to remember.
Sam: Once i can prove that jerry's involved in smuggling counterfeit drugs, he will be out of port charles and out of my mother's life.
Lucky: I don't want you coming on to this guy.
Sam: Are you kidding me? You are not going to get all jealous and macho on me right now?
Lucky: Yeah, probably. My main concern is you and what working this way can do to you.
Sam: I am not scamming jerry for money. I am trying to save lives here. I want him away from my mother. And if you want to know the whole truth and nothing but, i sort of kind of want him to pay for what he did at the metro court. Anyway, it's not like we're going to fall in love. He's not going to affect us at all.
Lucky: Listen, i've seen the way jerry comes on to you. He wants to believe you're equally as twisted as he is.
Sam: I know what i'm doing, lucky.
Lucky: Then haven't you been used enough in your life? Why put yourself through this, especially with jerry jacks?
Jason: Hey, what are you -- what are you doing here? You were supposed to go straight home after maxie's testimony.
Spinelli: What is a home, really? An abode, safe-haven, a place to rest.
Jason: Did maxie end up in jail?
Spinelli: I fear she's trapped in a prison of her own making,one of shame, humiliation, loneliness.
Jason: Where is she right now?
Spinelli: I know not. I -- i should have heeded stone cold's advice and stayed within the confines of my pink bedroom. My presence in court only made painful testimony even worse.
Jason: What -- what did she say? Did she say something to incriminate herself?
Spinelli: The prickly prosecutor asked almost nothing about the night of the murder.
Jason: Spinelli, that's great.
Spinelli: Yeah, i know, but instead, he asked questions of a most personal and humiliating nature. He -- he presented fair maximista as a careless wenchof the lowest virtue, of the roundest heel. He forced her to admit that she knew the crabby commando in the biblical sense for the sole intention of hurting fair lulu and then forced her to admit that she offered herself again to the crabby commando, only to be rejected.
Jason: At least we know that baldwin doesn't suspect anything.
Spinelli: Yeah. I admire how you can stick to the facts, but had you seen her on the witness stand, never flinching, never resorting to a lie -- she was the epitome of courage.
Jason: Did you tell her that?
Spinelli: I was -- i was witness to her brutal and public humiliation, and for that reason, she cannot bear the sight of me.
Jason: Why do you think that?
Spinelli: She walked out of the courtroom, head held high, and i -- i followed to offer a kind word of comfort, but she -- she just kept walking.
Johnny: Don't do this. You don't have to say anything.
Lulu: I'm sorry.
Johnny: Just tell them you want to go back to the hospital. They can't force you to testify.
Ric: Johnny --
scott: Your honor, where do i start?
Judge aroyo: Control your client, mr. Lansing.
Ric: Yes, your honor.
Johnny: Don't say anything.
Scott: Lansing, you need to sit your murdering client down.
Ric: I heard the judge.
Scott: Well, then do it.
Judge aroyo: Sit down and be quiet, mr. Zacchara. Proceed, mr. Baldwin.
Scott: Thank you. How would you describe your relationship with logan hayes?
Lulu: We were kind of serious at one time.
Scott: Did you move in with him?
Lulu: For a couple days.
Scott: But you didn't really know what you wanted from him. Is that correct?
Ric: Objection, argumentative.
Judge aroyo: Watch yourself, mr. Baldwin.
Scott: Were you in love with logan hayes?
Lulu: No.
Scott: Were you in johnny's apartment on july 4th?
Lulu: Yes. Um, no, i mean -- i -- i had a fight with maxie, and we were at kelly's.
Scott: Well, let me -- let me just get right to the point. Did you see johnny zacchara kill logan hayes?
Scott: You're under oath.
Ric: Asked and answered, your honor.
Scott: That night that you were in the apartment with maxie, that -- that was all just an alibi, wasn't it?
Lulu: No -- i mean, johnny did not kill logan hayes. I did.
Scott: Excuse me?
Lulu: Johnny did not kill logan hayes. I did. I killed logan hayes.
Spinelli: Maximista just -- just walked away, i guess. Too distraught to even glance in my direction. But you know, my admiration remains pure.
Jason: Are you sure about that?
Spinelli: Yeah. I could never judge maximista for her propensity to make bad choices.
Jason: Yeah, well, maxie does bring a lot of trouble on herself.
Spinelli: If you had just seen the pain in her eyes --
jason: Ok, maxie is tough. She may not be as upset about this as you are.
Spinelli: Yeah, but then why did she walk away from me?
Jason: Well, why? Because she was embarrassed. I mean, you know what -- you know what that's like.
Spinelli: All too well, i'm afraid.
Jason: Yeah, well, sometimesit's more painful to be friends with someone who expects the best from you than someone who expects the worst.
Spinelli: By that stone cold logic, the kindest thing for me to do for maximista would be to have no expectations either way, to leave her completely alone.
Jason: That's up to you.
Spinelli: But that way is so painful, as i've seen with you and fair elizabeth.
Sonny: Hey, what do you need?
Mike: Well, i called kate's office to r.S.V.P. About the rehearsal dinner, and that secretary, clarice --
sonny: Yeah.
Mike: She kind of got snippy with me, and she said that the wedding was on hold?
Sonny: There's been a temporary setback.
Mike: What? Some fancy designer's upset about the gown or the caterer's feuding with the photographer, who's mad at some celebrity? What?
Sonny: Actually, it's about me and kate.
Mike: Now i'm worried.
Sonny: Carly and i, we --
mike: Now wait, wait, now wait. Say no more. Say no more.
Sonny: Well, it was just one night after we took michael to the institute.
Kate was never supposed to know.
Mike: But she found out.
Sonny, didn't -- didn't you tell me that kate swore that she would leave you if you ever went back to carly.
Sonny: That's what she always said, yes.
Mike: Then how can you consider this a temporary setback? It supports everything that everybody in this town has told kate from the get-go, that you and carly will always get back together.
Clarice: You are not going to believe this.
Kate: Let me guess. Maxie showed up to work?
Clarice: She's actually getting a lot done by email, but that isn't it. I just got a call from the printers.
Kate: Mm-hmm, and what, they've got some sort of problem, and the revised mockups aren't really on their way?
Clarice: You know those contract negotiations which management assured us would be no problem?
Kate: No.
Clarice: All the printers, the people on the loading docks and the truck drivers just walked out. The printers' union is demanding a contract by midnight or they'll call a strike, and if that happens --
kate: Crimson cannot publish.
Sam: Alexis and i have had our problems, and guess what, lucky? A lot of it has been generated by me.
Lucky: Yeah, i'm not sure i agree with that.
Sam: Really. Actually, it is true. I haven't exactly been the daughter that she's always wanted, and let me see -- i have never really fessed up to anything that happened with ric.
Lucky: That doesn't mean you have to seduce jerry.
Sam: If jerry stays in port charles, he will destroy her life.
Lucky: She may hate you for it.
Sam: I don't care. He's using her, and if the only way for alexis to see that is by her watching me flirt with him, that's fine. I can live with that, as long as i do not lose you in the process.
Lucky: I'm not going to give up, especially after you admitted we're good together.
jerry: Sweet sam, open the door.
Scott: Let me understand this. You expect the jury to believe that you killed logan hayes?
Lulu: I did.
Scott: He was a soldier. He was trained in hand-to-hand combat.
Lulu: I know.
Scott: Johnny zacchara killed
logan hayes. Did he not?
Ric: Objection, your honor, leading.
Judge aroyo: Overruled.
Scott: You are just trying to protect your boyfriend there.
Scott: Yes, johnny gets acquitted, you play crazy, and everybody lives happily ever after.
Ric: Your honor, objection. Mr. Baldwin's editorializing now.
Judge aroyo: Sustained. The jury will disregard.
Lulu: Please, you need to believe me. I am the one who did this. I had no choice, just like last time.
Scott: What do you mean like last time?
Lulu: When i hit him with a wrench!
Scott: Did you love logan hayes?
Lulu: No! I love johnny, ok? Please, you need to believe me. I am the one who did this. I am responsible. I am the one who killed logan hayes.
Scott: No further questions, your honor.
Johnny: Get her off the stand.
Judge aroyo: Mr. Lansing?
Ric: Miss spencer.
Lulu: I'm sorry. I should have told the truth sooner. I didn't --
ric: I understand. This is a very difficult timefor you, so i'll be brief.
Lulu: Do you believe me?
Ric: Well, that's up to the jury. I just have one important question.
Ric: Did you bring john zacchara a gun on the day that he escaped police custody?. Lulu: I killed logan hayes.
Ric: Then why'd you bring a gun to john in lockup?
Lulu: Because i wanted to help.
Ric: You'd do just about anything to help john, wouldn't you?
Ric: Even confess to a crime you didn't commit.
Lulu: Why will you not believe me? I did this. I stabbed him.
Ric: Stabbed who?
Johnny: Leave her alone.
Lulu: Logan hayes.
Ric: When did you stab him?
Lulu: The night that he died.
Ric: Wait a minute. I thought you were at kelly's. Or was that the night that you hit him over the head with the pipe wrench?
Lulu: I wanted to tell the truth for a very long time.
Ric: You feel guilty about what happened to logan, don't you?
Lulu: Yes, because i'm responsible for all of this.
Ric: You led him on, right?
Ric: Even after you knew you were in love with john zacchara?
Ric: Why'd you do that?
Lulu: I don't know.
Ric: I think you do.
Lulu: Because i didn't want to hurt his feelings.
Ric: Ok, wait. I don't understand this. Did you kill logan with a knife or with the wrench, either in kelly's or in john's apartment, or you didn't want to hurt his feelings?
Lulu: I was scared.
Ric: Were you scared of john zacchara?
Lulu: No. I was -- i was scared of how much i loved him. So i strung logan along. I'm so sorry.
Ric: If you had been honest from the beginning, logan wouldn't be dead today, would he?
Lulu: Yes. Because i killed him. And i'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Everything is my fault.
Nikolas: Your honor. I'm nikolas cassadine, the legal guardian of miss spencer. In that capacity, i insist that these questions stop immediately and allow me to take her back to the hospital.
Ric: No objections, your honor. Miss spencer obviously needs medical attention.
Judge aroyo: Mr. Baldwin?
Scott: Take her away, your honor.
Lulu: No, no, no, no, i'm not leaving here! You tell them! You tell them! You know the truth! Tell them that i did this!
Judge aroyo: I release her into your custody, mr. Cassadine.
Lulu: No, no, no, somebody has to believe me!
Nikolas: Lulu, come on.
Lulu: No. I won't let him do this! I'm not leaving here. Somebody just say that you believe me. Somebody.
Nikolas: Don't touch her. Let's go.
Lulu: I'm so sorry, johnny, i did this all wrong. I'm so sorry.
Ric: Your honor, in light of miss spencer's obviously grave medical condition, i suggest that her testimony be stricken from the record.
Judge aroyo: Motion denied. Her testimony stands.
Sep 11, 2008 04:48
Robin: Hey. What's wrong? Did spinelli relapse?
Maxie: No.
Robin: Then what are you doing here?
Maxie: Well, i didn't really know where else to go.
Robin: Something happened in court?
Maxie: I thought scott baldwin was going to ask me all about the night logan died, and instead, he just wanted to know about when i slept with him.
Robin: Hmm. It was probably difficult talking about --
maxie: Admitting that i slept with a loser like logan just to make lulu suffer? Yeah. That was difficult. It's just i thought i made all these bad choices and i had paid for them, but i guess nobody can really do that. You should have seen spinelli.
Robin: He was in court?
Maxie: Yeah He got all dressed up, and what did he get for his troubles? Chapter and verse on what a slut fair maximista really is.
Robin: Oh, come on. I'm sure he doesn't judge you.
Maxie: No, he doesn't judge me. He just makes excuses and forgives me, but that doesn't change all the things i've done.
Robin: You're getting past them.
Maxie: Sometimes i don't think you really can change a reputation. I mean, i'm always going to be a liar with no self-respect, and spinelli's always going to be a geek.
Robin: I don't know about that. I mean, patrick's changed.
Maxie: I hope so. But a lot of people, including you, still expect patrick to go back to the way he was before.
Sam: Why exactly are you here?
Jerry: Well, for the pleasure of your company. And i'd like to take you on a little boat ride.
Sam: Really? Where to?
Jerry: Well, i recently purchased some property, and it's only accessible by boat. So what do you say? Would you like to pilot me there and back, captain nicole?
Sam: Um -- i'd -- when would you like to go?
Jerry: Today.
Sam: Oh. I'm sorry. I actually have plans today.
Jerry: Oh, well, i suppose your mother's free instead.
Sam: Oh, excuse me. It's me or alexis, you do know that.
Jerry: You drive a hard bargain, sweet sam. I certainly hope you can back it up.
Lucky: There's no way you're getting on that boat with that psychopath.
Sam: Oh, ok, fine. Then we need to come up with a better plan.
Sonny: The night in the limo, carly and i just left our son tied to a bed for the rest of his life. I was feeling, you know, dead inside, and carly and i did what we did. We felt worse afterward but we both agree that it's best to -- you know, act like it never happened.
Mike: And did kate buy any part of that? Listen, sonny. All i'm saying is you are as addicted to carly as i am to gambling. You have your good years and your bad years, but it's always in the back of your mind.
Sonny: Kate is my future. Carly and i are done.
Mike: Kate. Kate just called off the wedding.
Sonny: She's hurt, mike. She has every right to be. But we're going to work things out. I love her, and you know, i'm going to do what i can to make it up to her.
Mike: Ok, what if the tables were turned, ok? What if -- what -- what if --
sonny: Yes?
Mike: Kate had sex with jax that same night and waited all this time to tell you. Would it still be a temporary setback? You know, i think this is goingto be a lot more difficult than you say it is.
Kate: Well, i never thought you would be low enough or desperate enough to create a labor dispute that would threaten "crimson".
Sonny: What labor dispute?
Kate: Ok, you know how much i care about the magazine. You know better than anyone how hard i work, but it doesn't matter, right? You don't care.
Sonny: What --
kate: As long as the mighty sonny corinthos can swoop in, save the day, and make me grateful?
Sonny: What are you talking about?
Kate: It's not going to work, all right? It's transparent, it's heavy-handed, and it reeks of organized crime.
Sonny: Ok, a labor dispute messed with "crimson." You want me -- i'll make a call.
Kate: Don't you dare. I want you to stay out of my life.
Sonny: It's a lot more fun for you to yell at me in person, isn't it?
Kate: I have every right to make my point.
Sonny: Yeah?
Kate: Yeah.
Sonny: Then why didn't you just pick up the phone and call --
kate: Just -- you know, stay away from my magazine, all right? And stay away from me.
Mike: Temporary setback, huh?
Jason: You -- you shouldn't be showing up here.
Elizabeth: Why not? Carly does.
Jason: Since when do you follow carly's example?
Elizabeth: I don't know. Maybe i should a little more often.
Jason: No, you don't -- you don't mean that.
Elizabeth: Don't tell me what i mean. Or assume you know what i want or what i can handle. When i came to port charles years ago, i handled myself just fine. I was fearless.And you know what? I liked who i was back then. I went after what i wanted with no apologies, and that's what i'm doing right now.I want you. And i know you want me.
Nikolas: I'll be taking my sister back to shadybrook myself. Assistant d.A.: We're under orders to return her.
Nikolas: The judge released her to my custody.
Lulu: Please, nikolas, just go back in there and convince the jury that i killed logan, please.
Nikolas: Lulu, i'm not sending you back there with strangers.
Lulu: I'm going to be fine. I'll go back to my room and rest. Just please, i was just trying everything better for johnny, and i made it worse. Please, please just tell them.
Nikolas: Ok. Come on.
Nadine: What happened?
Nikolas: Lulu confessed, but nobody believes her.
Claudia: I'm sorry, wait. Lulu told the court that she killed logan?
Nikolas: Yes. She was hysterical. And it sounded even to me like she was covering for john.
Nadine: I can be a good listener.
Nikolas: Well, lulu could very well spend the rest of her life in a mental institution.
Robin: You're being pretty hard on yourself. I mean, you've changed a lot in the last couple of years.
Maxie: Not really.
Robin: You have. I mean, really, a lot of people would have just given up after georgie and after coop but you didn't. You held it together. You have a great job that could possibly turn into a career. You have a wonderful friend in spinelli.
Maxie: No, i had a wonderful friend in spinelli. But not after court today.
Robin: You don't know that yet.
Maxie: Look, he's going to act like everything's ok. But things won't be the same again. I'll see you.
Robin: Hey, um -- so, you know, everything about before -- i didn't even think for a moment that you and claudia --
patrick: I appreciate that. Thank you.
Robin: I want you to know that i'm committed to you and that i consider us a couple and --
patrick: Ok, robin, i don't want you to worry about that kind of stuff, ok? Because we're in a good place and our daughter's going to grow up knowing that we love each other, and that's what's most important. I'm just -- i'm sorry that i was causing you stress.
Robin: Causing me just a little bit of stress, but it's okay. It's --
patrick: Good. Because you know, we're in a good place now. And i finally realized that's how you want your life to be.
Lucky: All right, what if i talk with jax?
Sam: Talk with jax and tell him what? Exactly what? That you're almost sure his brother's involved a counterfeit drug ring but you don't have any proof?
Lucky: Ok, all right. You're right. You know what? The fewer people that know, the better.
Sam: But then, lucky, please, please, please let me do this my way. I promise you. You have nothing to worry about.
Lucky: You're really annoyingly --
sam: What?
Lucky: Brave.
Sam: Ok, so you're going to be ok with it?
Lucky: No, i hate the whole idea. And it'll definitely change the way i feel. I'll care about you even more.
Sam: Sweet. So then, we are on. Oh. Jerry.
Jerry: Sweet sam. What may i do for you?
Sam: Um, i was just wondering if maybe you wanted to come over for dinner tonight?
Jerry: Ah. Why, i thought you'd never ask.
Sam: Ok. It's official.
Lucky: You know what? Let's just forget about jerry. Right now, it's just the two of us.
Kate: So, get the labor lawyer on the phone. Have him file an injunction that will get those people back to work just long enough so that the issue can get out. I will not have months of my hard work derailed because the two sides can't sit down at the bargaining table.
Clarice: It's ok.
Kate: Clarice, please don't try to make me feel better.
Clarice: No, i mean, really, it's ok. In fact, it's a miracle. I just got a call from the union steward. Management agreed to all the printers' demands. There will be no strike. The crisis is over.
Jason: If we get involved, everybody's going to be at risk.
Elizabeth: Not if we keep it a secret.
Jason: What, do you want to go back to lying to people?
Elizabeth: A huge part of our life will always be a lie -- for jake. And you know what? I'm over it. I am tired of being miserable. I want us to figure out a way to be together.
Jason: How can i justify that after what happened to michael?
Elizabeth: No life is ever safe. And you do not have the right to decide --
jason: My life is against everything that you believe in.
Cody: Andrei karpov to see you.
Jason: Ok. In a minute. You've got to go out the back way.
Elizabeth: No, no, no, no. We're not finished.
Jason: What are you doing? You can't be here.
Elizabeth: Watch me.
Spinelli: You're leaving.
Maxie: You, uh -- you should probably lay down. Let me take those.
Spinelli: They're for you.
Maxie: Thank you. I'm sorry you had to hear all that stuff in court today.
Spinelli: Why must you leave?
Maxie: You're feeling better, aren't you? Besides, i think it's probably best that we have a little distance so you don't have to pretend you didn't hear for yourself what a slut i really am.
Kate: Ok, so now get the labor lawyer on the phone and find out why this crisis blew up so quickly and then was resolved in less than an hour.
Sonny: Actually, you know, you don't need to be calling any lawyers, clarice.
Kate: Excuse me.
Sonny: What?
Kate: Don't boss my staff around.
Sonny: I'm sorry, i was just -- well, i mean, if, you know, you want your boss to pay for the lawyer to tell you that there's no problem, go ahead. That's --
clarice: I think i'll check my email. I wouldn't want to fall behind on anything.
Sonny: Right, right, right. You're not going to thank me?
Kate: Why? For manufacturing a crisis?
Sonny: I didn't -- i didn't order the labor dispute. I made a couple calls and i had people go back to work. What's it --
kate: And now you expect me to be grateful.
Sonny: You -- come on, look. You -- you put your heart and soul into this magazine and you want it to succeed, and it will.
Kate: Don't bother with the dimples. I don't care how many strings you pull. Or say you love me, because obviously marriage means something different to you than it does to me.
Sonny: No, no, no. Don't do that.
Kate: I want you to take this.
Sonny: No, i'm not taking it.
Kate: I want you to take this back, because the wedding is off. I'm not marrying you.
Karpov: Last night, someone brutally beat two of my guards. Left them in the alley outside of my warehouse.
Jason: You mean the alley where my associate was run down?
Karpov: An unfortunate accident.
Jason: Unfortunately, your guards aren't dead.
Karpov: Then you admit that you ordered the attack.
Jason: I didn't order it. I did it myself.
Lulu: I tried to admit that i killed logan. I thought that it would set him free. But everything that i said came out wrong and now the jury is going to find him guilty.
Laura: Oh, honey, you told the truth. I'm proud of you.
Lulu: No, but i'm not just scared about johnny. I'm scared about me. If they find him guilty and put him to death, i will really go crazy.
Edward: I told you that would happen.
Epiphany: Poor lulu. She's driven herself crazy trying to cover for that boy.
Ron: Open mind, remember?
Trevor: If the jury convicts john, i'm going to appeal it.
Anthony: If the jury convicts john, and i lose my son, you're going lose yours. Just so we're clear.
Claudia: I want you to put me back on the stand. I'm the only person that can dig johnny out of this hole.
Judge aroyo: Recess is over, ladies and gentlemen. Mr. Baldwin. No more surprises, i hope.
Scott: No, your honor. The prosecution rests.
Judge: Mr. Lansing.
Ric: Yes, your honor.The defense would like to recall claudia antonia zacchara.
Sep 12, 2008 04:44
Karpov: You beat my men and left them for dead?
Jason: You ran spinelli down to the street. Whatever you do to me, i will do back to you twice over.
Sonny: I don't want the ring back. It's --
kate: I didn't know it came with a lie.
Sonny: That's not a lie.
Kate: Don't.
Kate: Don't, sonny. Save your excuses. They don't change anything. Turns out our history wasn't enough to keep us together.
Sonny: This wasn't some high school romance that we decided to relive. We fell in love. It was like brand-new, but this time, we can have our happy ending.
Laura: Don't let yourself give into the fear.
Lulu: I don't know how to stop.
Laura: You tell yourself that johnny is not going to die, and you believe it.
Lulu: You were not in that courtroom, mom.
Laura: I know how afraid you must have been.
Lulu: When i walked in, i couldn't touch johnny. I couldn't talk to him, but i thought i could set him free, and then he stood up, and he begged me not to say anything, and i knew that he was asking me not to confess, but everyone else thought he was telling me not to say that he killed logan.
Laura: But you don't know what the jury thought.
Lulu: I saw their faces. Johnny was just trying to help me, but instead, he's making himself look more guilty.
Judge: Let me remind you, ms. Zacchara, you are still under oath.
Claudia: Yes, your honor.
Ric: I'll get right to the point, ms. Zacchara. Did you see logan hayes die?
Claudia: Yes, i did. I saw my brother john kill him.
johnny: She's lying, ric. None of this ever happened. Get her off the stand.
Ric: Ms. Zacchara, you say that you saw your brother kill logan hayes. Why did you not mention this when you were previously on the stand?
Claudia: Nobody asked me.
Ric: When did you meet logan hayes?
Claudia: When he came to work for my father, back in march.
Ric: And again, what capacity was he employed by your father?
Claudia: He was an attendant. A bodyguard/chair-pusher. My father's paralyzed from the waist down, so logan was with him constantly. He was in a position to provide useful information.
Ric: And did you ask mr. Hayes to share this information with you?
Claudia: I did more than ask. I was having sex with him.
Ric: Sorry, just to be clear -- um, you were having a sexual relationship with -- with mr. Hayes?
Ric: Was this an isolated incident?
Claudia: No, i started having sex with him a week after he started working for my father, and i continued to have sex with him until he was no longer in our employment.
Ric: No, but this was not romantic in any way, correct?
Claudia: Not whatsoever. My father threw me out of the family business, and it's just not in my nature to shut up and go away, so i wanted inside access, and logan was my key to that.
Ric: Did mr. Hayes realize that you were using him?
Claudia: Well, he didn't much care. He was using me, too. I mean, all he ever talked about was lulu spencer.
Scott: Objection, your honor.
Edward: I object, too. Are you going to allow this woman to expose lascivious and inappropriate behavior by that poor, misguided little girl?
Judge: Juror number two, consider this your daily reminder to remain silent or be cited for contempt. Mr. Lansing, i will allow the testimony to continue, but please keep your client on point.
Ric: Yes, your honor. What was the context of logan's repeated remarks about lulu?
Claudia: He was obsessed with her to the point of calling me by her name during sex.
Ric: And this disturb you at all, this preoccupation with lulu?
Claudia: Yeah, i thought it was creepy. I didn't like it, but as long as he was giving me the information that i wanted, i put up with it.
Ric: And when did mr. Hayes stop giving you information?
Claudia: When lulu spencer walked in on he and i having sex.
Edward: Oh, God.
Maxie: Spinelli, come on. You're supposed to take it easy.
Spinelli: Ok, look -- while the newly spleenless jackal may be physically unable to prevent you from leaving, let there be no doubt. I protest your planned departure. These flowers should reinforce the great regard i feel for my friend.
Maxie: Obviously, you didn't pay close enough attention in court today. I am as big of a slut as scott baldwin said i was.
Spinelli: That's not true.
Maxie: Spinelli, if scott had asked me about lucky, i would have had to tell the jury how i seduced him away from his wife and got him addicted to pain pills.
Spinelli: You have evolved since those regrettable events. The jackal credits your newfound ambition and your chosen career path in fashion, and if i may be so bold, our friendship.
Maxie: Stop it. No matter how many excuses you make, i'm still going to be a tramp and a user. I just feel like you would be better off without me.
Kate: You really should leave.
Sonny: You are a successful woman, kate. You're not some checker working back at prizzi's in the old neighborhood whose only choice is to suck it up and go back to her, you know, cheating fiance.
Kate: Yeah, that's -- that's my point.
Sonny: You're hurt. I know that, and i'm sorry, and you think, you know, love is -- is a mistake, and it's messy, and, you know, and it's easier to just let it go instead of fighting for what you want. I know better.
Sonny: I know how happy you are when you're in love.
Kate: Do i look happy?
Sonny: All right, look. I'm going to give you as much time as you need to be hurt, to be angry, to tell yourself that we're over. Sooner or later, you're going to know what i already know, that we should stay together.
Jason: When i send a message, i do it myself. I broke your guards' arms so they would never raise them against me again. I cracked their kneecaps to show them how nobody comes at me in my city. I left them alive so you'd get the message.
Karpov: You've gone too far, mr. Morgan.
Jason: No, you have, when you went after spinelli. You touch him or anybody else under my protection, next person in the hospital will be you.
Karpov: It would be a tragedy for this situation to escalate any further.
Jason: You should go now, too.
Kate: You can't charm your way out of this, sonny. I'm not a dewy-eyed teenager who just folds when you flash your dimples.
Sonny: Believe me, i take this very --
kate: No, you can't fix this by carving your initials in a fence. I put my heart on the line for you.
Sonny: I know you did.
Kate: No, you don't. No, you don't know, and don't say that you do. I left a very successful position in manhattan in order to be in port charles with you. I risked my reputation. Kate howard, who never took her eye off the prize, was willing to risk it all to marry a gangster. I was willing to love you.I was willing to keep trying because i believed in you, and all the while i was planning this fantastic wedding, you and carly had a secret.
Sonny: No, we both made a mistake we wanted to bury.
Kate: No, i can't -- i can't trust you, and if i can't trust you, then we have no future, so i want you to take your ring and your explanations, and i wantyou to leave.
Elizabeth: So this is the part where i run out horrified, as if i don't know what you're capable of. I'm not going to pretend to be ok with it, but this is your life. It doesn't change how i feel about you.
Jason: It should.
Elizabeth: I can separate who you are from the things you do.
cody: Sorry, thought you'd want to know. Karpov made a call when he was leaving. From what i heard, it sounded like he was arranging to meet someone. It seemed like a good idea to put a tail on him. I just heard back from my guy.
Jason: That's good work. Let's go.
Cody: I can do it on my own.
Jason: No, i want to see what karpov's up to myself.
[Pistol cocks]
jerry: You shouldn't be here. This is about to become a crime scene.
Karpov: When you tell me that people who work here are causing problems, i expect you to take care of it.
Jerry: I do things my way on my own time.
Karpov: Take care of it, or i will.
Claudia: I was having sex with logan in the garden shed when lulu walked in on us.
Ric: And what was logan's reaction?
Ric: It goes to the mindset of mr. Hayes in the days leading up to his death.
Judge: Overruled. Continue, mr. Lansing.
Ric: Ms. Zacchara.
Claudia: Logan was furious. He -- he actually accused me of setting him up so that he would look bad in lulu's eyes, which was completely irrational in the first place.
Ric: So, he lost his temper?
Claudia: Oh, he was scary. He didn't seem to care at all that lulu was in love with my brother. You know, in fact, logan -- logan was convinced, and he said that me and john were working together to sabotage his relationship with lulu and he was going to make us pay, so i said, "johnny, you got to use your influence with dad. You got to get your influence to get logan fired." But before johnny even had an opportunity, logan attacked him at the metro court hotel, so --
scott: Your honor, four witnesses and myself saw the defendant attack logan hayes.
Ric: I'm sorry, is that an objection or --
scott: Yes, it is.
Judge: Would counsel please approach the bench?
Nadine: Do you think she's telling the truth?
Nikolas: I think she'd say anything to protect her brother.
Judge: Carry on.
Ric: So, ms. Zacchara, after the fight at the metro court hotel, did mr. Hayes remain in your father's employment?
Claudia: My father fired him that night, which logan somehow blamed on me as well. You know, here he was now with no job and no girlfriend, and itwas my fault, but apparently, he made one last desperate attempt to win her back by showing up at her office and hounding her there, but lulu told him it's over. And he was angry, and he was bitter, and he blamed me. Logan showed up at my apartment,and he was crazy. He was out of control, and he tried to kill me.
Sonny: You know, i was thinking that it's probably best that the truth about carly came out now. That way there won't be any secrets.
Kate: Why don't you just admit it? Admit that you would have been perfectly happy if i had never found out that you and carly had sex. We would have gotten married. I would have been completely oblivious. Meanwhile, you would pretend that you weren't living a lie.
Sonny: That would have been the end of it, kate.
Kate: Until the next time you were alone with carly.
Sonny: So, you're telling me that if the truth hadn't come out, you think i would have had sex with carly again?
Kate: You wouldn't be the first husband --
sonny: You know me better than that, so --
kate: Well, i thought i did.
Sonny: I don't love easily, and you know that, so you're telling me that everything that we have said to each other, everything that we have felt for each other is a lie?
Maxie: Here, the doctor said you're supposed to take it easy.
Spinelli: My stress would be considerably less if you stayed.
Maxie: Why do you want me here, spinelli? You heard what i did to logan. I feel like i did the same thing to you, even though logan was a pig and you're a saint. Still, that doesn't matter. I always make the selfish choice, even when it comes to someone as wonderful as you are.
Spinelli: The jackal took no offense.
Maxie: You're much too good a person to waste yourself on me.
Spinelli: No, no, no, please reconsider. It's -- it's human nature to harbor regret from time to time. After all, we are an imperfect species, but don't destroy all that is good and fair. As my wise granny says, don't throw out the baby with the bath water.
Maxie: What is wrong with you? Why don't you understand me? People who believe in me, they always wind up disappointed or hurt and addicted to pain pills or just plain angry and bitter, and i need to leave before i do that to you.
Spinelli: Regardless of your opinion of your own unworthiness, the truth is you have been loyal and compassionate to the jackal. His spirits have been uplifted by your angelic kindness. You have -- you have broadened my horizons and provided insight and advice.
Maxie: But how many times have i pushed you into doing favors for me?
Spinelli: Well, that's true. The jackal is incapable of refusing maximista.
Maxie: Then shame on me for taking advantage.
Spinelli: No, no. For every so-called favor, there are the many times that maximista has quite literally saved the jackal from the jaws of doom. If -- if you think watching you bravely face your demons in a court of law could possibly change my high esteem for you, then you don't know me very well. I have never seen you more brave or more beautiful than you were today.
Claudia: Logan had an axe that he got from one of those emergency fire cases, and he was hacking through my door, and i ran into the kitchen and grabbed a knife.
Ric: Did you consider calling 911?
Claudia: I was just raised not to trust the police. I tried to call my father, but the battery was dead on my cell phone. I probably should have tried to run. I don't know.
Ric: Why didn't you?
Claudia: I mean, there wasn't anywhere to go, you know? Where was i going to go? I couldn't get around him, so i just -- i figured i could -- i could back him off with my knife, which was really stupid, because he was really, really out of control.I mean, he was crazy, and he was screaming at me that it was my fault, that i was the reason that he lost lulu.
Ric: It's ok. Take your time.
Claudia: I tried to get around him, but he just flung me off of him like a little rag doll, and the knife went flying out of my hands, and we struggled. I remember i was screaming for someone to help me, but, you know, he was too big, and so he just pinned me down, and he was going to rape me. He started to unbuckle his pants, and all of a sudden, he got up, and he turned around, and i realized that johnny was there, and logan grabbed the axe, and he went running after my brother with it, and john didn't have time to even think You know, he just picked up the knife, and as soon as he raised it up into the air, logan came running straight at him. He impaled himself on the knife. Logan was going to rape and kill me. My brother john saved my life.
Jason: How reliable is your source?
Cody: Very, karpov was here talking to another man. They were checking out the building.
Jason: Why -- why does a guy like karpov care about a free clinic?
claudia: All of our lives, it's just been me and my brother. We only had each other to count on. So, john saved me, because that's what he does. After i calmed down, john said that we were going to call the police, and then he was going to get me to the hospital so i could get checked out, and i said no. I refused, and i insisted that we cover up what had just happened.
Ric: Your honor, defense would like to enter into evidence exhibit "d". Ms. Zacchara, could you tell the jury what this piece of paper is?
Claudia: It is a list of all the people that i called to repair the broken door and replace the bloody carpet the morning after logan hayes died.
Ric: You personally contacted these people?
Claudia: I did.
Ric: Ms. Zacchara, why was it so important for you to cover up logan hayes' death?
Claudia: Because i was afraid that this would happen -- what is happening right now. That scott baldwin was going to try to railroad john. My brother's a good person. He saved my life. Please don't hurt him. Please don't hurt him.
Scott: Your -- your honor, she's talking to the jury.
Judge: Objection sustained. Ms. Zacchara, i cannot allow you to address the jury.Please disregard the witnesses' last statement. Does defense wish to continue?
Ric: No, no your honor. No further questions.
Judge: Mr. Baldwin, do you wish to re-direct?
Scott: You bet i do. Other than that slip of paper allegedly naming some carpenter and some handyman, do you have any shred of evidence to back up your testimony whatsoever?
Claudia: I don't know what else you want.
Scott: Any proof whatsoever, other than some cooked up fairy tale to try and save your brother's life.
Claudia: My brother saved my life.
Scott: Well, where's the physical evidence? Where is this -- this door? Where's this axe? Where's this bloody carpet? Where the hell is the kitchen knife?
Claudia: I destroyed them. All of them.
Scott: How convenient, wasn't it?
Claudia: Your son was a murdering, son of a bitch who tried to rape and kill me. Johnny saved me.
Scott: Your honor, i'm done with this fabricator.
Judge: You may step down, ms. Zacchara.
Judge: Mr. Lansing?
Ric: Yes, your honor. Before i call my next witness, i'd like to enter into evidence exhibit "e" -- logan hayes' military records, specifically an incident where corporal hayes stabbed another solider in a fight over a girl.
Ric: It speaks to a pattern of behavior, your honor. Logan hayes had a history of violent jealousy and antisocial behavior.
Scott: Your honor, he is putting the victim on trial.
Ric: This victim deserves it.
Sep 12, 2008 04:48
Laura: If the worst should happen, you will survive.
Lulu: I'm not sure i'd want to.
Laura: I'm not telling you this to make you feel better. I'm telling you this because i know it to be true. When it feels like there's nothing left, it's love that sees you through. It feeds your soul, and it helps you to survive beyond what you thought was humanly possible.
Lulu: Like you and dad.
Laura: Yeah. We've been separated by time, distance, and now this illness, but i always found a way to go on because i knew that that's what luke would want me to do. And i want that for him, too. Do you remember right before i got sick again? Do you remember what i told you?
Lulu: To live life fully -- the best life that i could.
Laura: Good girl. You're more of a survivor than you realize.
Maxie: You're making a giant mistake. You think i'm perfect, but i am so far from it.
Spinelli: Like any great work of art, it is the -- it is the absence of perfection, the contrast between light and dark that make it a real masterpiece.
Maxie: You think that i'm a work of art?
Spinelli: Real art. Not like the one-dimensional perfection seen in the pages of "crimson." I -- no disrespect to maximista's chosen career path, but you are so much more dynamic and complex than the -- than the smooth, boring women in the pages of "crimson." You have a special heart and soul.
Maxie: Well, is there any mistake i can make that you can't forgive?
Spinelli: But we learn from our mistakes. We grow from them, and of course we regret the pain that we cause, but it's that pain that allows us tolerance for others that are equally as flawed. Like me, for instance. So in all honesty, i would never ask maximista to be anything other than what she is right now.
Maxie: Spinelli, you truly are the most wonderful person i've ever known.
Spinelli: Does that mean you'll change your mind and stay?
Maxie: Like i could ever leave you?
Kate: I have work to do.
Sonny: Ok, hold on, hold on, hold on. I've got nothing else, you know, to lose here. So i'm going to ask you a question. I just want you to answer it.Do you -- do you think i've been lying to you this whole time? Do you think i just -- i just wanted to marry you for your money or your status or --
kate: Don't be ridiculous.
Sonny: Well, you know me. Why would i want -- pretend to be with someone i don't want to be with?
Kate: Well, you wouldn't.
Sonny: Ok, answer this. You think i lied to you when i -- when i told you i loved you?
Kate: I believe you that you love me.
Sonny: Then all you got to do is get past the pain, and i -- i will be faithful to you for the rest of my life.
Kate: How am i supposed to believe that?
Sonny: It -- it -- it may one of the hardest things you ever do, but you got to take that leap. Because, i swear to you, i will protect your heart just like i'll protect your life. All you got to do is marry me. We can still do this. I mean, you know, we can make -- listen, all you got to do is say yes.
[Matt sighs]
matt: Nurse.

[beeping]
Scott: By now, all of you know that logan hayes was my son. I didn't know him very well, and now i am not going to get a chance to know him at all because of that man, the defendant. He killed logan hayes because he wanted lulu spencer all for himself.He lured logan to his apartment, and then he stuck a knife in him. All of this garbage about a door and an axe -- that is all fabrication made up by his sister because she wants to get him off. She knows that if he is convicted, because logan hayeswas a police officer and a military man, the state is going to ask for the death penalty.
Ric: The evidence speaks for itself. Logan hayes' tainted military record. The testimonies of maxie jones, claudia zacchara, and many others proving that logan hayes was mentally unstable and violent. Logan hayes hacked his way through the door of john zacchara's home to attack the defendant's sister -- the one person that he blamed for driving lulu spencer away from him. So what did john do?John acted in the moment, without thought for himself, to save his own sister's life. Now his subsequent actions, including his escape from police custody, resulted in his overwhelming concern for his mentally unstable girlfriend, lulu spencer, who drove two men against one another and who now drowns in guilt, knowing that she ignited the violent actions of logan hayes.
Judge: Members of the jury, you have now heard all the evidence and testimony related to this murder case. I caution you to deliberate with care. This is a death penalty case. A man's life is in your hands.
[Bangs gavel]
lulu: How did i ever manage without you?
Laura: I'm so sorry, honey. I wish that i could go back and make up --
lulu: No, no, no, no, no. You being here now means everything to me. You look tired, mom.
Laura: It's been an exhausting day.
Lulu: Well, ok, i'll walk you to your room.
Laura: No, don't do that. I know it unsettles you to watch me fall asleep, right?
Laura: Ok. I'll see you soon. I'm ok. I'm all right.
Nikolas: Hi.
Lulu: Hi. How are you? What happened at the trial?
Nikolas: Take it easy.
Lulu: No, did you -- did you convince them that i was telling the truth about being the one who killed logan?
Kate: Please, sonny. Just let me put this behind me so i can get on with my life.
Sonny: Which life? The one where you put your walls up to keep the feelings out? That safe life that you were so happy to leave behind?
Kate: It's better than this pain.
Sonny: Listen to me. Don't let a mistake, something that happened once and is not going to happen again, steal us from the life we planned together.
Maxie: Kate, i'm so sorry. My testimony went longer than expected. Oh, ok, um. I brought spinelli to help me fix that email problem, so we'll just go fix it now.
Spinelli: If i may offer my deepest condolences. Maximista shared the grievous news that your nuptials had been canceled due to mr. Sir's transgressions with -- the valkyrie.
Elizabeth: We never finished our conversation.
Jason: Yeah, i got -- i got a meeting with the city council.
Elizabeth: Are you going to let me in or make me do this in the hallway?
Jason: I got just -- you know,i'm trying to get permits. Diane set up this meeting with a city council member. If i blow him off, he's -- he's going to take the whole project. So, i just --
Elizabeth: Just admit you're running, that you're afraid to talk to me.
Jason: I'm sick of hurting you, telling you "no, i can't." I can't make you happy.
Elizabeth: Well, that's for me to decide, not you.
Jason: I mean, it would work for a little while, but sooner or later, someone you love will get hurt, or i'm going to do something that you cannot live with.
Elizabeth: I accept that we don't have a future, but we do have right now. That's all i'm asking.
[Flames crackling]
nadine: Matt! Matt! Matt, wake up. Matt, you've got to wake up.Come on. [nadine grunts] [ceiling creaks]
nadine: Oh, no! [Glass shatters] [nadine coughs]
nadine: Help! Help!
Nikolas: I didn't -- i didn't even need to testify, because -- because claudia took the stand instead.
Lulu: Claudia, what did she -- what could she say? She didn't come in until after logan was dead.
Nikolas: She -- she testified that logan broke into the penthouse and tried to rape and murder her, but that john came in at the last minute to save her.
Lulu: She made the whole thing up.
Nikolas: I -- i didn't believe a word that came out of her mouth, but that's the most --
lulu: Oh, my --
nikolas: I know -- some of the most convincing testimony i've ever heard.
Love her or hate her, claudia may have saved john's life.
[Door opens]
claudia: Hey.
Johnny: Hey. You ok?
Claudia: Yeah, i'm good. I'm good, johnny. I don't want to talk about it, ok?
Johnny: No one ever did for me what you did today. No one's ever fought for me like that, and no matter what happens, i want you to know that i love you.
Claudia: I love you -- love you, john. I think you're the only person i could ever love. I had to do that for you, you know? I just hope it was enough.
Johnny: Yeah.
Anthony: You heard baldwin's closing argument. All that crap about his son, the big hero. He had the jury eating out of his hands.
Trevor: Tony, you've got to stay calm, or you're going to blowthis thing right out of the water.
Anthony: At least claudia stepped up. That girl can lie like no one i've ever seen.
Trevor: Yeah.
Anthony: Makes her father proud.
Trevor: She gave the jury something concrete to turn things around. They got something to work with now.
Edward: Well, folks, we can make this short and sweet. There is no guiltier man than john zacchara.
Mrs. Albright: What was the poor boy to do? His sister had just been attacked.
Ron: If i saw my sister about to be raped, and there was a knife in the room, i know damn well that i'd use it.
Epiphany: Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Now the first thing we need to do is choose a jury foreperson.
Ron: Who here feels qualified to lead us?
Sonny: We're having a -- a private conversation.
Spinelli: Yeah -- i -- mr. Sir's trying to persuade the fashionista to forgive his dalliance, then all --
kate: Ok, maxie, we won't be needing mr. Spinelli's assistance today. You can hold all my calls. Please close the door.
Maxie: Ok, mm-hmm.
Sonny: Kate, look at me. Look, do not let what -- what just happened here derail us.
Kate: No, spinelli's good. It's good they showed up. I was about to give in, and i know i'd regret it.
Sonny: No, you won't. We deserve to be happy. We can be happy. I will not give up on us.
Kate: What if i said that i would forgive you, hmm? What would happen to us if i said that i would marry you?
Elizabeth: You don't know how i've tried to talk myself out of this, but it never works. All i see is you.
Jason: How i dealt with karpov, the things you heard me say, that's -- that's who i am. All the times i got shot, and you had to nurse me back to health, i was shooting at people who were shooting at me, and sometimes they died. I chose a life where being able to kill is a measure of success. I choose to break the law. I had a chance to run away with you and the kids, and i chose to stay. What part of that makes you love me?
Elizabeth: I can't explain it. It's not logical. That's why it's love.
Singer: And maybe this time the fates will be kind to us so let's lovelike it's ours to keep
Sep 15, 2008 04:40
Monday September 15th: Part 1
Carly: Hi. I just got a call that jax was hurt in a climbing accident.
Leyla: Yes, he's back with a doctor.
Carly: How badly is he hurt?
Leyla: I had to fill out his paperwork because his hand is injured. But if you take a seat, i'll go in and check --
carly: I don't want to take a seat, i want to see my husband.
Sonny: If you agree to marry me? That's what you said. Was that hypothetical or have you forgiven me?
Nadine: Help!
Somebody help!
[Nadine pants]
nadine: Somebody help!
[Glass breaks]
nikolas: I really think claudia may have gotten to the jury.
Lulu: You'd say anything to make me feel better because we both know my testimony was a disaster. It could get johnny the death penalty.
Nikolas: Don't do this to yourself.
Lulu: If johnny is convicted, i'm afraid i will lose my mind.
Jason: This -- us -- it's going nowhere.
Elizabeth: I don't expect it to.
nikolas: If i were going to tell a lie to try and calm you down, i think i could come up with something better than claudia zacchara on the witness stand.
Lulu: Which is hard to imagine, anything coming out of claudia's mouth that would help.
Nikolas: Yeah, well, i'll tell you what she said. She said that she was sleeping with logan to get information about her father and then you walked in on them in the act, and that logan got furious and ended up losing it and coming after her that night and knocking down her door with an axe.
Lulu: Exactly how it happened, except to me.
Nikolas: Right, right. Well, there may be just enough truth to what she said. She said that -- that john came in and killed logan to save her.
Lulu: I just don't see how the jury could believe her. She is so hard and unsympathetic. It must've been obvious that she was lying.
Nikolas: I know -- well, claudia very well may be everything that you say she is, but i do know that she loves her brother. And sometimes love can give people power to do things they didn't think they were capable of.
Johnny: I know that you wanted to tell the entire court that lulu wasn't lying, that she actually did kill logan.
Claudia: Yeah, what would've been the point? I mean, the way she broke down on the stand, the jury wasn't going to believe her. They were never going to believe that she killed logan, so i had to come up with a story that would make you look innocent.
Johnny: You painted yourself like some scheming trick, laying claim to all this crap that i know you didn't do.
Claudia: I've done my share, babe.
Johnny: You stuck your neck out on the line for me.
Claudia: It was just a story, johnny.
Johnny: Where i'm the hero and i saved you, when it's the opposite that happened. You saved me, just like you always do, even when you think i'm dead wrong.
Trevor: Claudia did her brother a bigger favor than she knows.
Anthony: I know. After that very moving, very convincing testimony, our plant on the jury should have a much easier time swaying the others in john's favor.
Edward: All right, in an effort to move things along, i am very willing to serve as your jury foreman and i would like to call for a preliminary vote.
Epiphany: Hold on. Wait a minute.
Edward: What? We all heard the evidence. We know that john zacchara's guilty.
Ron: With all due respect, i think we need someone in charge who has more respect for the rules of the process.
Edward: I --
ron: I nominate ms. Johnson as fore-person.
Mrs. Albright: I second.
Epiphany: All right, i'll accept.
Ron: Good. All those in favor?
Edward: Oh, fine. Now, let's get on with it and find john zacchara guilty.
Elizabeth: I accept who you are and the life you've chosen. I don't have any illusions about this. I'm not secretly hoping that you're going just to throw it all out the window because we've slept together.
Jason: I just don't want people to know that you're close to me. I care about you.
Elizabeth: That's a little late. It came out in court last summe that we were involved.
Jason: It came out that we slept together. It's not the same thing as a relationship.
Elizabeth: Well, maybe that's my mistake. Maybe we don't actually have a relationship.
Leyla: Mrs. Jacks?
Carly: Yes.
Leyla: Apparently your husband damaged the tendon in his right hand. It's nothing too serious.
Carly: Ok, thank you.
Carly: Jerry. Are you here to see jax?
Jerry: Yeah, he wrecked his hand in a fall. I'm here to drive him home.
Carly: They won't tell me. They just say he's hurt. What happened?
Jerry: Well, he was free -- solo climbing, you know, without a rope or equipment, and then a rock gave way. But, thankfully, he grabbed a scrub on the way down. It could've been far worse than a hand injury.
Carly: That's crazy.
Jerry: That's an adjective that describes me more than it does jax. That's until his marriage ended. Since that night, he's been quite reckless. I hardly recognize my younger brother.
Kate: I haven't forgiven you yet. Although, i suppose i could manage to. After all, i do love you.
Sonny: That's a great start.
Kate: And i do believe that you were vulnerable.
Kate: And i do believe that carly would prey on that. And i could believe you when you say that you would never be with her again.
Sonny: Then what's stopping you?
Kate: Well, intentions mean very little where carly is concerned. The woman preys on her connection to you, right? She hates me. And i could foresee a possible future event where you're vulnerable again and she preys on it again.
Sonny: Then you leave me no choice. I hope you got a lot of white ribbon.
Kate: What are you doing?
Sonny: I'm going to break the mirror. I'm going to break that mirror right now if you don't marry me.
Kate: That isn't even remotely funny. Now put it down. Put it down.
Sonny: No.
Kate: You can't play on latent superstition to blackmail me into marrying you.
Sonny: You don't want to marry me. So that's the worst possible luck i could have. So i don't care to break that mirror. I'll break it right --
kate: No, no, don't, don't, don't. Don't.
Sonny: Why? Because sophisticated kate howard isn't remotely superstitious anymore? Because she left that behind, along with her name and her love for me?
Kate: Oh, that is so not fair. No, you know that i love you. Love is not the problem. I don't want to be hurt.
Sonny: You don't have to hurt anymore. All you have to do is believe me.
Kate: God, you want to make it sound easy, sonny, and it's not.
Elizabeth: You know, that first night we were together, i was so hurt and confused. I had just found lucky in my bed with maxie, and i came to you because i needed a friend. You know, that's what i told myself. But it was more. My marriage was over and you were the man i always wanted tobe with. And you were just as hurt and confused.
Jason: You saved me that night. I don't -- i don't know what i would've done if you hadn't shown up.
Elizabeth: I guess it was a combination of all that hurt and missed opportunities that brought us together. We took refuge in each other. But you're right. It wasn't a relationship. It was just one night that we were both able to escape reality. But since then, i've been trying to go back to that night. Because that was the one time that you let your guard down and you let me in. Is it possible to do that again?
Nadine: [Muffled] help!
[Nadine coughing]
lucky: Hey.
Sam: Hey. Oh, i guess i just -- oh, i must've dozed off for a minute.
Lucky: And had a bad dream.
Sam: Um...
Lucky: About what?
Sam: I -- gosh, lucky, i've got to get this place straightened up and i've got to order some dinner.
Lucky: For your date with jerry?
Sam: I need to get information about jerry, so we know that he's involved in the drug smuggling ring and expose him as the pig who is going after a mother and daughter, so my mother can finally -- finally be set free of him.
Lucky: I know. I know why you have to do this. I just -- i keep telling myself to only think of it as part of, i don't know, being undercover.
Sam: Yeah, i know. But you hate the idea of me playing up to him.
Lucky: How would you feel i was coming on to, say, claudia zacchara?
Sam: What, are you telling me you're attracted to --
lucky: No, only as a way into the mob. I just -- i just want you to see it from my side.
Sam: I would hate it, lucky. I hate what i'm doing. I hate that i'm good at working men and it's a way that i used to make a living at one time. It's -- it is not a part of my life that i am proud of, but, i don't know, i guess i figure, if i can put this questionable talent to use for a good cause, i -- i might as well. I just hope and pray that, in the process of doing this, that it doesn't change the way that you think about me or the way that you feel.
Lucky: Not a chance.
Jerry: You know, for -- for all his sophistication, jax is really a romantic at heart. He always believed in love, that there was a woman waiting for him, a life-lasting partner.
Carly: You didn't think he would ever find that.
Jerry: You know, jax's marriages fail because he was never realistic about the women that he was marrying. But you were different. You know, jax was very clear about who you are, what he was getting into. You know, you were the one that he was waiting for and he -- he put his heart on the line.
Carly: I know he did.I blew it.
Jerry: It's all right. You know, you're human.It happens. But, you know, there are limits. No man tolerates being cuckolded and the fact that it was sonny made it worse.
Carly: There's no excuse. I mean, there -- there were. We had just put michael in an institution and we were so overwhelmed with grief --
jerry: So you turned to a man you don't love and don't particularly trust, and, you know, a man who brought you pain and suffering.
Carly: I know. I know it makes no sense at all.
Jerry: Oh, no. On the contrary, it makes perfect sense. You don't trust to be happy, so you destroy what matters most. It's a tendancy that i'm very familiar with.
Carly: Well, if you understand --
jerry: No, i'm not jax, carly.
Carly: But if you think that i'm the one jax was waiting for, then maybe it's not over.
Leyla: You can take the splint off if you're bathing. Otherwise, it stays on 24/7.
Leyla: Ok?
Jax: Very good.
Leyla: And you need to rest. No more mountain climbing in the near future.
Jax: I'm not going to make any guarantees, but thanks for the concern.
Carly: Jax.
Lulu: Mom. Mom?
[Lulu sighs]
lulu: I was so scared. I thought that you were gone again.
Laura: Oh, i'm just resting.
Lulu: You tired? You want me to go? I can leave you --
laura: No, please, don't. I want all the time i can have with you.
Claudia: I mean, assuming that you get out of this, i -- i just -- i don't want you to think that i'm ok with you and lulu on any level.
Johnny: Can we not fight about this now? You just did this great thing for me, and we gotta go here?
Claudia: I know, and you're full of gratitude and admiration for me and i need to take advantage of these situations as they ome.
Johnny: So much for the bonding moment.
Claudia: Well, we didn't have a lot of practice at it anyway, right?
Johnny: Unless you count trashing trevor's car when we were kids, the old sugar in the gas tank, banana in the tailpipe routine.
Claudia: His brand new lamborghini.
Johnny: He loved that car.
Claudia: Oh. Oh, my God, i didn't think that anybody's face could turn that many shades of purple. It was -- it was good. You know -- you know, if you walk out of here, daddy's going to want to do his own version of father-son bonding. And lulu's most definitely not going to be a part of that.
Johnny: We'll see.
claudia: All hail the chief conquering hero. Oh, my God, if johnny walks out of here, you are going to write your own ticket.
Ric: Yeah, well, i wouldn't start celebrating just yet.
Anthony: Claudia really outdid herself. All those crocodile tears. I didn't think she had it in her.
Trevor: Yeah, she's always had a strange connection to john.
Anthony: What do you mean, strange?
Trevor: Don't tell me you never noticed that there is no other man in her life.
Anthony: Trev, you think there's a chance that lulu was telling the truth, that she really killed logan?
Trevor: Absolutely, it's possible. The fact is it doesn't really matter, because there is no evidence, and nobody will ever believe her.She's crazy.
Anthony: It's the most interesting thing about her.
Trevor: John's best bet is sitting in that jury room.
Epiphany: I think that we should go with the evidence of the case here.
Edward: What's the use? We all know that john zacchara did it. His sister told us.
Ron: His sister was being attacked by a guy that came through the door with an axe. That makes it self-defense.
Edward: Oh, God, there was no battered door. There was no axe. That was a story that was just fabricated. It was a desperate attempt just to throw us all off. The fact remains that a man, a police officer, is dead, stabbed in the gut by john zacchara.
Ron: What about the evidence?
Edward: We heard the evidence. All right, what do the rest of you folks think, huh?
Epiphany: Why don't we take a poll? Let's establish where everyone'sstanding on this.Those who think he's guilty, please raise your hands. Not guilty?
[Edward chuckles]
edward: We're the majority. The rest of you are holding us up.
Epiphany: Look, i am the foreperson on this jury, not you. This is about doing our civic duty, not hustling through and trying to finish this off quickly. Don't forget the fact that there is a man whose life is in the balance here and i want to make sure that we do it right.
