Friday - Part 2 Patrick: You got a minute?
Kelly: I can't tell you how out of here I am.
Robin: Look, if you need me to say it, I will. Asking Spinelli to father my child was a bad idea.
Patrick: That's not what I was going to say at all.
Robin: I'm sorry. I just did it again -- I put words in your mouth.
Patrick: I just need to know one thing -- what if Jason would've said yes?
Jason: I know what this child means to Robin. I mean, she had no idea that she would live long enough to even make it through medical school, much less become a doctor, and now she's talking about having a kid.
Spinelli: You're a true and loyal friend, Stone Cold.
Jason: I just understand what -- what Robin is asking from her baby's father, but I miss Jake all the time. So, uh, the texting, Carly's text messages -- what -- what do we got on that?
Spinelli: You know, you seek comfort in work, and The Jackal seeks comfort in cyberspace.
Jason: All right, just tell me what she said to the Zaccharas, please.
Spinelli: Yes, I will check.
Lulu: Um -- I just got back from Johnny Zacchara's.
Spinelli: You -- you went to see the warped one?
Lulu: Don't worry. I stayed outside the wall.
Jason: Why -- why would you even risk going?
Lulu: Well, I had to return a necklace. It was his mother's.
Jason: You know that Anthony Zacchara's crazy, right? What if he saw you?
Lulu: He didn't. I told you, I was nowhere near the house.
Jason: Lulu, um, I told you that it's going to be dangerous for you to live here, you decided to stay -- that's fine. But you need to follow some rules, ok? I want you to stay away from the Zaccharas because if anything happened to you, it could trigger a war.
Lulu: I'm sorry.
Jason: Don't be sorry. Pay attention. This is business. This is not about you and some guy you met, ok? A lot of money and a lot of power is at stake here, and a lot of people are willing to kill for it.
Anthony: Who's the girl?
Johnny: What girl?
Anthony: The blond girl.
Johnny: Her car stalled. I helped her get it started.
Anthony: You're lying in my home to my face. You gave that girl your mother's necklace and she threw it back at you. She insulted you -- I saw her. What's her name?
Johnny: Linda Stafford. She lives in the city, but I dumped her. I made her bring back the necklace.
Anthony: Have the gardeners finished pruning the roses?
Jax: I'm so sorry I'm running late.
Kate: You're not running late. But I am very excited to show you the numbers. Now, I have drawn up the startup costs, the business plan, the budget projection --
Jax: Yeah.
Kate: But, of course, I need your input since you are the primary investor, and I want to keep the subscription price low. Jax?
Jax: Yeah?
Kate: Is there a problem?
Jax: No, no, no. There's no problem.
Kate: If you're having second thoughts about investing, I would appreciate it if you told me right now.
Jax: No, no, no. I'll take a look over the numbers, I'm sure they're fine, you know? You know what you're doing.
Kate: Then what's the problem?
Jax: It's that obvious, huh?
Kate: Yeah.
Jax: I just -- I had a fight with Carly.
Kate: Imagine that.
Jax: She's being completely unreasonable about going to this black-and-white ball.
Carly: Hey.
Sonny: Hi. I'm going to be going to Puerto Rico for a couple days. I won't be long.
Carly: Is everything ok?
Sonny: Everything's fine. Jason is going to be around, the guards are in place, so, you know, everything's going to be good.
Carly: Ok. That's great. Call me when you get back and I'll send the boys right over.
Sonny: That's it?
Carly: What do you mean, "that's it?"
Sonny: You're not going to ask me any more questions?
Carly: None of my business.
Sonny: Ha. Something's up.
Carly: What?
Sonny: Don't do that.
Carly: It's called a life, ok? I have one -- I'm busy. Like I said, when you get back, call me. I'll send the boys right over.
Sonny: Carly, spill it. What's going on?
Carly: Nothing! Look, I'm just sitting around here stressing about what to wear to the black-and-white ball. I mean, which dress would your snobby girlfriend pick? Would she pick this one?
Sonny: Probably -- yeah, that right there. So, ok, you really don't want to tell me what's going on? You don't have to, which tells me that you're working on a plan, and my advice to you is -- drop it.
Robin: If Jason wanted to be the father of my child, I would be ecstatic. He has many wonderful qualities to pass on, but I knew he would never agree.
Patrick: I didn't. I thought he came here tonight to volunteer. I had this flash of what it would be like, you know. I know you two loved eh other once and it's only natural to bond over a child -- Robin, Jason, and their little baby.
Robin: Obviously, it didn't happen.
Patrick: It could, though. It drives me crazy to think of you with another man. It's -- and having the family that I can't give you.
Robin: Won't give me.
Patrick: Yeah. "Can't" and "won't" are two different things. You've shown me all the respect in the world -- me not wanting children and you haven't tried to change my mind, help me see the light. You just moved on. I haven't shown you the same respect. I've been too involved in your choices, and I can't blame you for being upset, so as of now, I'm -- I'm not going to interfere. I don't have an opinion. As of now, I'm going to stay out of your personal life.
Carly: Ok.
[Knock on door]
Carly: Hi!
Diane: Hi.
Carly: Thanks for coming.
Diane: My pleasure. You're on the list.
Carly: List? What list?
Diane: Sonny pays me a very generous retainer to handle his legal affairs and those of several other people.
Carly: Who else is on the list?
Diane: That falls under the heading of "attorney/client privilege."
Carly: Ok, let me think about this -- Jason, of course. Me -- you just told me. Mike, probably. Max, I hope -- he and Milo deserve the best, and yes, you're obnoxious and you're a snob -- you are really good at what you do. Alexis, no, because she's a lawyer, so she doesn't need -- you represented Kate Howard for her drunk driving thing. But she paid you, right? Kate Howard is not on Sonny's list.
Diane: Attorney/client privilege. Now, do you actually have something to discuss with me or shall I simply bill Sonny double for this and leave you to your own speculation?
Carly: Why are you going double?
Diane: Oh, I always do with you. Oh, please! There's my hourly fee and then there's additional compensation for mental duress. I was actually thinking about adding a second bump, uh, for anxiety and for emotional distress, but then I thought that would simply make me seem a little "greedy."
Carly: So, Sonny pays you double to handle me when he doesn't want to?
Diane: Oh. In my blessedly limited experience, there is only one person who has any success whatsoever in handling you, and that's Jason. He seems to have limitless reserves of patience. I, on the other hand, am an attorney, and I provide only legal representation, not emotional guidance, so, if you are in need of my services, please tell me. Otherwise, I'm late for my karate class.
Carly: You take karate?
Diane: Hai! It's very emotionally centering. You really should try it sometime.
Carly: Ok -- you know what? Your karate can wait. I need you to tell me the legal difference between self-defense and murder.
Diane: Oh, this is -- this is definitely being bumped up to triple my normal rate.
Carly: Can you please just tell me?
Diane: Ok, fine. But I'm going to need some details first, and remember, anything that you're about to tell me must be prefaced with the word "hypothetically."
Carly: Ok. What if, hypothetically, I received a message from the person who could've killed leticia and this hypothetical person wanted me to meet with them? And when I went to meet with them, I took a gun and this hypothetical person tried to kill me and I shot them instead. Would that be considered self-defense?
Diane: My god -- you're serious, aren't you? All right, well, there's a very fine line between defending one's self, protecting one's self, and lying in wait, so it would be helpful if we had some evidence that this hypothetical person had actually tried to kill you -- oh -- a gun with his or her fingerprints on it or a bullet hole in the wall or some type of recording of the incident, because without corroborating evidence, a prosecutor could argue that by you shooting this hypothetical person, you had committed premeditated murder.
Carly: So I'm just to sit and wait for this person to show up and kill me?
Diane: Technically, you're supposed to inform law enforcement.
Carly: Well --
Diane: But if that doesn't seem like an option to you, then I suggest involving your dear friend Jason. He seems more than capable of permanently silencing anyone who would threaten you.
Carly: I can't tell Jason. If I tell Jason, he'll stop me from going to the ball.
Diane: The black-and-white ball at Wyndemere? That's where you are planning on meeting Leticia's killer?
Emily: I am not making excuses, Nikolas. I'm just stating the facts, ok? You have a medical condition and you're doing your best to figure out what it is. Yes, you've been volatile, ok? Yes, you've been having blackouts, and yes, you've been dangerous at times, but you're still Nikolas Cassadines.
Nikolas: Which might be part of the problem here.
Emily: No, I refuse to believe that.
Nikolas: Which -- Emily, just think about it as a doctor for a minute, would you? There's -- there's an awful lot of reasons here why this could be hereditary.
Emily: You are not Stavros. You would have never thrown Sam off of this tower, Nikolas, and you would never hurt --
Nikolas: But I did. And what -- what about the guy I attacked in the police station? What about him? What about Logan Hayes twice? What about Jerry, who I stabbed in the chest and left him to die in an alley?
Emily: We're going to figure out what's wrong with you, ok? And we're going to take care of it.
Nikolas: I'm just -- I'm just afraid that it might be too late. Ok? There's something -- there's something broken inside of me. I mean, for god sakes, I just -- I just attacked my own family. And what if you're next?
Diane: Why would you want to ruin the black-and-white ball by meeting with a killer?
Carly: He wants to meet me there.
Diane: Then don't go! Oh -- give me your invitation. Oh, I would be more than happy to go. The gowns are going to be spectacular. Who are you planning to wear, by the way? Can I borrow it?
Carly: No, you can't have my dress and you can't have my invitation. I'm going to go to the ball and I'm going to meet that bastard, and when they try and kill me, I'm going to shoot him instead.
Diane: Ok -- Carly, look, try to understand. If you go through with this and something untoward happened, which is practically guaranteed, and Sonny or Jason finds out that I knew about this and I didn't try to stop you, the outcome is likely to be extremely unpleasant.
Carly: Jason and Sonny are not going to hurt you, ok? You are the best attorney they've ever had, and besides, they're not going to know about this because I'm protected under attorney/client privilege, remember?
Diane: Touche.
Carly: Thank you.
Diane: Ok, look, all joking aside, one of the repercussions of being an attorney is that you wind up finding a great deal about your client's personal lives. For instance, I happen to know that you are the mother of two young boys who -- who would be devastated if they lost you, not to mention Sonny, not to mention Jason. And I'm sure your current husband would be equally upset.
Carly: I'd have no intention of dying.
Diane: No one ever does, Carly! Oh, and by the way, a murder trial -- that's its own special kind of torture. Imagine sitting in a courtroom having your life torn apart, knowing that one false move, one -- one ill-considered expression, a smile at the wrong moment, can cost you your freedom for the next 20 years to life! Now, why would you want to risk that when your best friend in the whole world is, hypothetically, a professional killer? So why not just tell Jason everything and let him deal with it in his own way?
[Diane sighs]
Carly: The killer is sending me messages, so I have to go to the ball to draw them out, but you're right -- I should have Jason there as backup.
Diane: Great, let's call him. I'll wait till he arrives.
Carly: No! I can't tell him that I'm meeting Leticia's killer. I'll just have to make him take me to the ball, and it's perfect because Jax can't go, so Jason can take me and he always carries a gun, so there's no problem there.
Diane: This whole line of thought is problematic!
Carly: No, it's perfect. Jason and I will go the ball together, and when I get there, I'll text the killer and tell the killer where to meet me. See, the tricky part is going to be getting Jason into position. I can figure that out when I get to Wyndemere. The hard part, though, is going to be getting Jason to actually take me to the ball because he hates dressing up and he --
Diane: Carly, don't do this. It's not going to work.
Carly: It is perfect -- are you kidding me? You are brilliant! Thank you, Diane.
Diane: Yay, whoopee for me! Carly, you could be leading Jason into an ambush.
Carly: Jason and I are a great team, ok? We're going to be fine.
Diane: Look, if you love Jason as much as you claim to, then you have got to warn the man that he's --
Jax: Hey.
Jax: What's she doing here?
Lulu: Are you still mad?
Spinelli: Stone Cold, are you going to the ball at Wyndemere, and if so, perhaps your apprentice could tag along with you and your as-of-yet-unnamed date?
Jason: Not going to the ball. Got too much work to take care of, starting with the Zaccharas.
Handler: Trevor says you can't leave.
Johnny: Screw Trevor. I have to warn someone about something.
Handler: Hey, if you're talking about Lulu Spencer -- hey --
Johnny: Don't you ever say her name where my father can hear.
Man: Mr. Zachary, are you ready for your dinner? Mr. Zachary?
Sonny: Hey, amigo?
Man: Bienvenido.
Sonny: Que tal? Man: Como esta?
Sonny: Ok, hace me un favor. Trae el carro, ok, porque tengo hacer una llamada.
Man: Si, senor Corinthos.
Sonny: Yeah, Bernie. I just got off the plane. Yeah, it was -- it was no problems at all. Listen, I -- they're bringing the car around, so I got to make this fast. Um -- oh. The meeting is going to be at the playa. Send the profit statements to my suite. Ok. Car's here, I got to go.
Kate: I would appreciate it if you left me alone.
Trevor: Katie, I'm concerned.
Kate: And I'm busy.
Trevor: Look, Sonny is drawing you into a very dangerous situation. There are certain facts about my business that just can never be made public.
Kate: Then why on earth are you discussing them at a restaurant?
[Trevor chuckles]
Trevor: You're right. Forget about what I said. Are you going to that black-and-white ball?
Kate: I am -- with Sonny.
[Phone rings]
Trevor: Excuse me. Lansing.
Man: Corinthos' limo just exploded. He's dead.
Trevor: Great.
>> On the next "general hospital" --
Johnny: My father's gone to find Lulu Spencer. I have to stop him. Jax: You've never cared this much about a party. What is going on? Kate: Have you heard from Sonny? Trevor: I need proof. Did you recover his body?
