Tuesday - Part 2



[Knock on door]

Jerry: Hello.

Sam: I didn't ask you in.

Jerry: Is that a way to treat a co-conspirator?

Sam: You see, "we" are not conspiring on anything. I thought about it while I was away and I decided that I'm not going to let you bully me.

Jerry: Oh, that's why your location shoot was so conveniently timed. You were gone so long that you probably cooled all the interest Trevor Lansing might've had for you.

Sam: You going to kill me now since I won't be seducing Trevor after all?

Jerry: No -- I would hate to upset your lovely mother. Besides, you're more useful to me alive.

Sam: I won't work with you, I will not help you, and if you threaten me again, I will go to Jax and tell him everything. Now, I would really like it for you to get out of my home.

Lulu: Logan's breakup wasn't a ploy. It was real for both of us.

Carly: But you're warming up to him.

Lulu: I'm just telling you what happened. He is very sorry for everything. He -- he even gave me these concert tickets to a band we both like, and he was going to surprise me with them, and now he wants me to take somebody else.

Carly: Lulu, that is the oldest trick in the book. Please do not fall for it.

Lulu: Fall for what? We're over, Logan and I are through.

Carly: Yeah, and he probably thought he was losing you, thought you might be listening to your family and friends telling you to stay away from him. He's a liar, and he's a jerk. So all of a sudden he's doing some big show, trying to be noble so he'll pull you back in.

Lulu: Carly, I am not that naive.

Carly: No, you're not. You're smart and you're savvy, but you're also kindhearted and inexperienced.

Lulu: I am just saying Logan isn't the piece of garbage that you're making him out to be!

Carly: I would bet money that he is sitting by the phone right now, knowing that you're thinking about calling him and inviting him to the concert.

Lulu: You know what? Maybe that's Sonny or Alcazar, but they're not Logan, and I'm not you.

Carly: Lulu, I know this is the last thing you want to hear --

Lulu: Thank you so much for your words of wisdom, but I can think for myself.

Spinelli: I'm interfacing with the security cameras on Pier 22 so we can monitor the aftermath of the explosion.

Jason: Is that it right there?

Spinelli: Yeah.

Jason: Looks like the fire department's got it under control, then.

Spinelli: Yeah, it appears so. Stone Cold, I don't get it. Why plant an incendiary device in that particular warehouse? There's nothing there but innocent little coffee beans.

Jason: It's a message -- probably from Trevor that Sonny shouldn't have gone to see Anthony Zacchara.

Spinelli: How did it -- Mr. Corinthos, sir's meeting -- go?

Jason: Zacchara is completely insane. He threatened to kill Sonny's family and everyone he cared about.

Sonny: I tell Trevor I know he's running the Zacchara mob, 20 minutes later my warehouse is on fire -- that's not a coincidence.

Kate: It's just bizarre, Sonny. Trevor is part of a very elite group of power brokers. Why would he jeopardize that to -- to run -- sorry -- a criminal enterprise?

Sonny: Zacchara probably did something years ago, and Trevor had to clean up the mess. Zacchara got crazy, and he started getting worse, so Trevor got more involved in the business and he started to like it.

Kate: What is there to like, exactly, about danger and violence and the threat of years in prison?

Sonny: Money, influence, the power of life and death. He probably got, you know, really into the business, and it started to grow and grow. He started -- it was like an addiction, and he got hooked like a lot of people do. He was the man, he makes decisions on whether you live or die, he turns over profits, and you know what the -- the craziest thing is -- that he gets away with it.

Kate: Sonny, is that -- is that why you became a criminal -- because you like to get away with it?

Sonny: I have a lot of reasons and I have no reasons. I didn't finish school because I didn't want to -- I didn't want to, you know, become -- not that it's a bad thing -- a plumber or a mechanic. I wanted to wear a suit and have more money than you could ever spend. But most important, I wanted power, because I'd been helpless in my life, and I would rather die.

Kate: I understand ambition. I built my whole life around it, and I realize that there are compromises that you have to make. When you start talking about living and dying like they're numbers on a spreadsheet, you just -- you lose me.

Sonny: It's a business. Sometimes you have to, you know -- the chances you pay is you die, you know, and -- and you got to take the lives of your enemies. And, you know, sometimes the -- sometimes the violence overwhelms you and you feel like drowning. And you -- sometimes you -- you lose your mind.

Kate: Like Anthony Zacchara.

Sonny: Or like me.

Jason: Bernie says the cops are at the other warehouses. Can you pull up the surveillance?

Spinelli: Um, Stone Cold, might you elaborate on what you were talking about before the bernificent one called -- namely, Zacchara's killing everyone that Mr. Corinthos cares about?

Jason: Zacchara is -- is confined to his compound.

Spinelli: Yeah, we most earnestly hope.

Jason: We know that it's getting dangerous, and I'm a target. If you -if you want out, Spinelli, now is a good time to get out.

Spinelli: No, the grasshopper will remain by his master's side. I would -- I would never abandon you in your hour of need.

[Knock on door]

Carly: I totally blew it with Lulu, I did. I can't believe I was so clueless and stupid. Why didn't I see this coming?

Spinelli: What -- see -- see what coming? Is the blond one in jeopardy?

Carly: No -- well, yeah, I mean, she could be.

Jason: Well, what happened?

Carly: Lulu came to me and told me that Logan broke up with her, that he was being all noble and told her that he wasn't good enough for her -- yada, yada, yada -- and I told her that Logan was playing her. She got highly defensive -- how can I blame her? I mean, I would react the exact same way if someone I trusted told me they doubted my instincts.

Spinelli: Ok, what -- what has the blond one done?

Carly: Well, she's probably gone after the slimeball. You need to go talk to her, Jason.

Jason: Me -- me? Why me?

Carly: Because you're levelheaded, she trusts you, and she'll listen to you.

Jason: One of our warehouses are on fire -- can't do this now.

Carly: Did the Zaccharas do this?

Jason: I mean, I think so. But I'm not sure.

Jerry: Ooh, something or someone has put the pink back in your cheeks, darling.

Sam: I said get out.

Jerry: Well, you clearly seemed to have enjoyed your meeting with Lucky -- such a shame he had to leave. It was an explosion on Pier 22, wasn't it?

Sam: You're the one who did it?

Jerry: Oh, blowing up a warehouse to lure Lucky away from your side -- it seems a bit extreme, doesn't it? Nonetheless, it worked.

Sam: You are twisted.

Jerry: Moi? Never. Nevertheless, I'm intent on continuing our agreement -- though, I have to warn you, there's a slight change in our terms.

Sam: What change?

Jerry: It's just a little something to ensure I get what I want.

Sonny: He never mentioned it, but I know that Ric told you I was bipolar.

Kate: Ric is a very troubled man.

Sonny: Right.

Kate: It's true, Sonny. When I met Ric in the park to try to get him to drop the first round of reckless driving -- I -- oh, god. He mentioned that you were bipolar, and I suggested I could make it public.

Sonny: Would you have -- would you have gone through with it? That's all I'm asking.

Kate: No, Sonny. I was lying my head off. I was -- I was trying to tell him what I thought he wanted to hear. It didn't work, as you know. And I was ashamed that I -- that I even suggested the possibility. And you know what, Sonny? If you think that I consider your illness as some sort of defect, you're wrong.

Sonny: I did. For a long time. And in some ways, I still do. I mean, you know, when we were younger, I mean, you'd always tell me that I was moody, right?

Kate: Yes.

Sonny: Right.

Kate: I thought you were trying to act mysterious.

Sonny: That's how I dealt with things. I don't know if you know this, but sometimes -- whew -- I would get so angry that I did not know what I was doing. I would smash something, or I'd beat the hell out of some guy. But I'd always tell myself, "hey, you know what? People -- people get angry all the time, people lose their temper." And -- and then a -- a friend of mine died, and I went into, like, this -- this gray zone and I -- I didn't -- I couldn't feel anything, I couldn't -- I didn't care. But that passed, right?

Sonny: Then my first wife was killed, and I completely lost it. And I didn't know it a the time, but I was having a breakdown.

Kate: Tell me that you got help.

Sonny: Well, Jason would -- you know, he'd -- he'd keep people away from me and he'd pick up the glass that I would break, and then -- but, you know, I mean, I just felt like there was something wrong with me, like I was weak.

Kate: You must've felt alone.

Sonny: A lot of times I -- I wanted to kill myself, you know? But then, you know, someone told me that I was sick, that I was mentally ill. I did not want to hear it because I didn't want to be defective.

Kate: It's a chemical imbalance, Sonny. It's not your fault, just like having brown eyes or dimples.

Sonny: Oh, you've done your research.

Kate: We did a piece on it in the magazine a few years ago and one of my best friends back in the city is diagnosed with bipolar. She said it was a relief to find out, to find out that there was a cause and a treatment for the way that she felt and the things she did.

Sonny: Well, the medicine keeps me -- keeps me balanced, keeps me from having a breakdown, or, you know, going too high or too low into the darkness, but it hasn't changed who I am. If I want something, I go after it. And that can drive you crazy in a different way, you know?

Trevor: So how's Anthony doing? Well, that won't happen as long as Johnny stays put. Good, listen to me. We got to do something about Sonny Corinthos before he goes public with Anthony's condition. Well, lure him to a place where he's vulnerable. And then put that animal down -- permanently.

Sonny: You know, when I went to see Zacchara, I thought I was meeting an enemy, somebody I could reason with, negotiate with, somebody who understood the threat of violence and use it to his advantage -- like I do. But he is totally insane. One minute he's screaming threats, the next minute he's talking about roses. I got to tell you something -- you got to listen to this -- he takes out a gun, right? And he forces me to play Russian Roulette, and -- I had -- in that second, I had two thoughts. One -- I don't want to die, ok? You know, how stupid it was that I miscalculated walking in on a madman. And the second was watching him, thinking that could be me in 20 years.

Kate: No. No, Sonny, never.

Sonny: You know, hey, when you have too much power, too much -- it distorts things. You -- you know, you don't live like other people live, you're a -- you're a puppet master and you're pulling all the strings, making all the decisions. Nobody should be in that position.

Kate: Look, I don't know Anthony Zacchara, nor do I want to, but I am sure that you are nothing like him.

Sonny: That's sweet. But I got to tell you. I see this man, he's in this -- he's in this house, and he's a prisoner, destroyed by his own viciousness and greed. And I -- I just felt like that, you know, that could easily be me. If I lost one person too many, if I -- if I stop pretending there are lines I won't cross.

Kate: I'm not going to justify your business. It's not right or defendable on any level. But I knew you, Sonny, before you got into that business. I knew you when you were the moody boy with a beautiful smile. And I know you have a conscience. I know that there are lines that you won't cross.

Anthony: How can we call it an accident? How am I supposed to look her parents in the eye and pretend? You -- how long have you been in here?

Handler: Just came in to drop off the mail.

Anthony: Come here. My son said he's seeing some new girl, hmm? Uh -- he told me her name, I keep forgetting it.

Handler: It's Lulu, Lulu Spencer.

Anthony: Lulu Spencer -- yes, that's it. Find out everything you can about her. What do you know about her?

Handler: All I know, she's -- she's Johnny's friend.

Anthony: Well, go find more! I want to know how she met Johnny and where she is right now.

Lulu: Carly thinks that she's looking out for me. Guys have lied to her in the past, so she automatically assumes that you're lying to me, too.

Logan: How do you know I'm not?

Lulu: Are you?

Logan: No. I told you -- you're better off staying away from me. We've been through this, Lulu. Lulu: Yeah, you are pushing me away because you care about me.

[Music plays]

Logan: Like I said, I'm not great at doing the noble thing, ok? So do us both a favor -- just leave.

Lulu: Thing is, I have these concert tickets, and I know this guy that likes blue star as much as I do. And that means he's not going to be annoyed when I stand up and dance to the songs, and he's the only person that I want to invite.

Singer: How could I ever begin to be

Logan: Making this really tough on me.

Singer: With you?

Lulu: Well, maybe that means you should just give in and say yes.

Singer: Something about you now that makes it

Logan: How can I not when you're smiling at me like that?

Singer: If I only be

Spinelli: Stone Cold, please, just this one simple favor. You're a source of unbiased truth, she'll listen to you.

Jason: Lulu doesn't listen to anybody.

Carly: Logan is a loose cannon, especially when he gets angry. Remember when he punched you at Kelly's?

Spinelli: Yes, yes, he assaulted with fury and uncalled-for violence.

Carly: And earlier he came by my house looking for Lulu, he busted in the door and he grabbed me.

Jason: I don't have time for this.

[Knock on door]

Lucky: I need to ask you some questions.

Jason: I can't do this right now.

Lucky: An explosive device went off tonight in your warehouse at 9:15. Do you know who planted it?

Jerry: See, police work can be very dangerous in this town. Between the warring mobsters, the random lunatics, it would hardly be surprising if Lucky lost his life in the line of duty. On the other hand, his chances of survival will greatly improve if you cooperated, you see?

Sam: Yeah, I see. What do you want?

Jerry: Nothing at the moment, but I think I'll need you in the future. I'll trust you to comply -- for Lucky's sake.

>> On the next "general hospital" --

Carly: What do you want?
Sam: Your husband.
Elizabeth: He would have taken Jake away from me.
Diane: My client is asking for sole custody of Jacob Martin.
Robin: This is actually really important. I need to ask you a favor.
