Thursday, January 10--Part 1

Nikolas: Hi. I was hoping you'd be here.

Emily: I told you -- i'm where you want me to be. So you're meeting with patrick about the brain tumor?

Nikolas: Yes, yes, he's -- he's trying to find a connection between the rage and -- and the blackouts, but we've already gone over it. I told him everything i can -- everything except you. I mean, he's -- he's just going to confirm what i already know, what the doctors in zurich told me -- that it's inoperable, it's possibly genetic. I mean, how much more bad news can i get at this point?

Emily: Nikolas, don't even think like that. There's always hope.

Nikolas: Is there hope that whatever this is here that i've created -- whatever you are -- won't go away?

Nadine: Hi, mr. Cassadine. Who are you talking to?

Logan: Where the hell is lulu?

Lulu: Let me out of here! You're going to regret it!You have no idea who you're messing with! I know somebody's out there. Who are you, and why do you have me locked up in here?

[Bang on door]

sonny: You should just put it up in neon lights -- "organization is a mess, ripe for the taking."

Jason: What happened?

Sonny: The warehouses aren't even halfway done, there's a hold on the next shipment, johnny zacchara isn't dead yet. Where -- where have you been all afternoon?

Jason: I've been dealing with a different kind of hell -- carly knows about jake.

[Knock on door]

elizabeth: Carly. Do you ever quit?

Carly: Not when it comes to jason's best interest -- and his son's.


[window shatters]

alexis: This is breaking and entering.

Diane: Misdemeanor trespass.

Alexis: It's also grand theft -- you took big dave's gun.

Diane: Oh -- if you're so certain that you should be litigator of the year, then i'm sure you will find some way to get us off should the need arise.

Alexis: I've already won litigator of the year -- and i wasn't there.

Diane: I won, and my lonely little trophy is as cold as i am -- although, not half as hungry.

Alexis: They stole our coats, you know. It's not any warmer in here. We should've stayed in the car.

Diane: Oh, please. If it weren't for me, you would have left your neela llorente gown in the back of that car, and now you would have to explain to kate howard why it's just a little pile of ashes.

[Diane sighs]

alexis: So what now, sherlock?

Diane: Well, i'm freezing, i'm all wet, i can't stay in these clothes.

Nikolas: I'm sorry. I was just thinking out loud, i guess, trying to remember allthe -- all the questions i want to ask dr. Drake. There's a few things that i don't want to lose sight of.

Nadine: Oh, i talk to myself all the time. Some people think it's weird, but i have known people that
talk to their pets like they understood every word, or stand in front of the mirror and tell the reflection to get it together and get to the gym. You know, some people just do it because they're lonely and it helps drive away the bad stuff.

Nikolas: I'm sorry, how -- how long will dr. Drake be? I have an overseas conference call that i can't miss.

Nadine: Uh -- i know he's a little backed up, but i will tell him that you're in a crunch.

Nikolas: All right, thank you.

Nadine: Um -- i never got a chance to tell you how sorry i am about your fiancee. She seemed like a very kind, loving, and beautiful woman.

Nikolas: Yeah, she was -- well, she is, and that's how i'll always remember her. Death can't take that away from her -- or from me.

Johnny: I haven't seen lulu.

Logan: She was supposed to meet me back at her father's hospital room. She went to kelly's, and she never came back.

Johnny: Maybe she was trying to get away from you.

Logan: Or maybe she got detoured by you. Maybe you're causing trouble again because you can't stand the competition.

Johnny: There is no competition.

Logan: Yeah, right. Like you don't want her?

Johnny: I don't want her hurt.

Logan: She won't be, we're in a good place.

Johnny: If it was so good, you wouldn't be looking for her.

Johnny: It's me.

Trevor: Johnny. Are you avoiding me?

Johnny: We need to meet, now.

[Music plays]

joe: The banker looked me in the eye, said he'd come through with the loan. 17 Years i ran that garage, i can't believe i had to close the place. My father would kill me.

Mike: Hey, come on, you and angie -- you'll bounce back.

Joe: I haven't even told her yet -- i mean, she came down with something. She doesn't need this on top of being pregnant and sick, you know?

[Spinelli sneezes]

mike: Uh -- pull up a seat, mr. Spinelli.

Spinelli: I should probably keep my distance in deference to your health.

Mike: Hey, you coming down with something?

Spinelli: So it would seem. I -- i venture forth for your famed chicken soup. Wise georgie believed in its fortifying attributes.

Mike: Yeah, well, i'm sorry, kid, but i'm all out. You know, the flu's going around, and everybody and his dog wants my soup.

Spinelli: Fortunate canines, indeed.

Joe: Try one of these -- wife's been taking them.

Spinelli: Uh -- the jackal is wary of over-the-counter meds -- they seem to have a strange effect on his system.

Mike: Ooh, that's -- that's hard to believe.

Spinelli: Uh -- maybe just one? What's the worst that can happen, right?

Singer: Am i supposed tojust sit here and pretend i care?

Lulu: I have friends, very powerful friends -- the kind that you don't want to mess with. People will come looking for me.

Monk: Landry, is your niece all right?

Jerry: Oh, yes, yes, she is. You see, she's extremely troubled.

Monk: Oh.

Jerry: You see, her -- her mother was not stable and her father turned to the bottle and she blames herself.

Monk: Oh, poor thing. My god.

Jerry: In fact, she witnessed a crime and she ran away with her boyfriend, and then the police managed to find her and they were trying to get her into the witness protection program so that she could be safe and start fresh.

Monk: Surely.

Jerry: Somebody tried to kill her -- it was an inside job.

Monk: The police? That's horrible.

Jerry: I know -- it seems possible for the criminal-minded to infiltrate any institution these days.

Monk: Well, your niece is very lucky to have you on her side, mr. Landry.

Jerry: Well, she doesn't feel that way. I mean, she will do and say anything to get you to release her -- so that she can run away with a boy. You know, drugs -- it's a terrible waste, terrible.

Monk: Yeah, yeah.

Jerry: You can understand my -- my need for the most extreme privacy -- that's why i've adopted the robes, and that's why there's a guard for her protection.

Monk: It's obvious you love your niece very much. Well, rest assured that the brothers can keep tightlipped when need be. And you have been, well, most generous.

Jerry: Well, it's the least i could do.

Monk: No, no, no, the abbot is very grateful. The monastery, i'm afraid, has been counting its last pennies.

Jerry: Well, from now on, you know you can count on me.

Jerry: If anybody finds her, you know what to do. Where is it? Ok.

Carly: Jason couldn't lie to my face about being jake's father, so your hooks aren't in that deep. We had a long talk.

Elizabeth: Oh, good. Then you know what he's decided about jake.

Carly: What you've decided.

Elizabeth: No, everyone in jake's life -- everyone whose opinion actually matters. We've all agreed that it's best that the world keeps on knowing that lucky is jake's father. So you can leave now.

Carly: Wow. You think you're holding all the cards, huh? You used jason's love for his son to keep him dangling on a string.

Elizabeth: Why would i do that?

Carly: I don't know -- you're one of those women that just can't stand on her own two feet without a man to fall back on.

Elizabeth: Oh.

Carly: Yeah, you have jason and lucky dancing to your tune. Who cares that jason's heart is in pieces and that lucky's whole life is based on lies -- and you fed him to sam -- as long as you got what you wanted?

Elizabeth: What i want is what's best for jake.

Carly: You can spare me. I'm not lucky, and i'm not jason. All you care about is yourself. But i have news for you -- you're taking a back seat. Jason comes first, what's best for him. And what's best for jason is being with his son.

Sonny: I know you're not crazy enough to tell carly. How'd she find out?

Jason: Sam.

Sonny: How the hell did that happen?

Jason: I don't know -- payback.

Sonny: You try talking to carly?

Jason: Yeah, i tried talking to carly.

Sonny: You got nothing?

Jason: I -- carly hates sam, she hates elizabeth, and now in the name of protecting my son, she has reason to go after both of them. She thinks i should've fought -- fought harder for jake.

Sonny: Well, i'm not going to go there with you on that one.

Jason: Ok, you know what? Sonny, please, elizabeth can't be in my life. I'm not going to let our enemies know that i have a little boy. I won't let them use that against me.

Sonny: I have three kids, maybe you can do it.

Jason: Yeah -- "maybe" what? I have a job, ok? Part of that job is making sure you and your family and the people we care about stay ok. I wouldn't be able to do that, i'd be worried about jake and elizabeth all day long.

Sonny: You're saying you can't claim your son because of me?

Alexis: Oh -- i'm afraid if i sit down, i'll stick to it.

Diane: Here.

Alexis: Oh -- gross.

Diane: I'm sorry, alexis, but i just did not take you for this much of a priss.

Alexis: This is a neela llorente gown.

Diane: And this is a biker bar -- with a broken thermostat. And this is our $500-a-plate award dinner. Hmm. To capable women.

[Bottles clink]

diane: Ooh. What?

Alexis: I was just thinking about your sudden confession about how you killed a man.

Diane: Well, i certainly didn't use one of these. I was a very young public defender who had just been assigned a client accused of a hate crime. 27-Year-old caucasian male -- blond-haired, brown-eyed william guidry.

Alexis: You still remember his name?

Diane: I remember his crime. He raped a 16-year-old girl because -- as he so gleefully told me -- he could. And then he killed her because she was black. I found a procedural violation that would've gotten him off -- and i didn't act on it. I could not look at the victim's family and watch him go free. So he went to prison, and he was murdered -- stabbed doing laundry detail. And i still can't decide who committed the worse crime -- william guidry, or the men who executed him, or me -- for playing God and giving them the chance to do it. You know, maybe i'm not really award material after all.

Diane: Alexis davis, i present you with litigator of the year.

Alexis: Yeah, well, it turns out i can't accept this award.

Diane: Why not?

Alexis: Strangely enough, i killed somebody, too.

Lulu: Why are you doing this to me?

Monk: I brought you some food. You must eat, child.

Lulu: I don't want to.

Monk: Well, you've got to keep up your strength. I -- i brought you a little supper.

Lulu: You -- first, you lock me up, and -- and --

monk: Child?

[Lulu coughs, thud]

monk: Are you all right?

[Key turns in lock]

monk: Oh, dear. What happened? What happened?

Lulu: I don't know. I'm so cold.

Monk: You're cold?

Monk: Oh!

Jax: Dr. Lee? Hi. Do you have a minute?

Kelly: Have you come to take me away from all of this? Charm me with diamonds, lay the world at my feet?

[Kelly chuckles]

jax: Talk about my wife, actually.

Kelly: That is not a female fantasy.

[Jax chuckles] What are the chances of carly and i having a child together? I mean, is that a fantasy, too?

Elizabeth: Jake is not your child, carly. It is not up to you. You cannot be this selfish.

Carly: "Selfish"? You're talking to me about selfish?

Elizabeth: I love jason.

Carly: Really? Not enough to be with him. Not enough to let him acknowledge his son, and certainly not enough to let him raise his son. Don't get me wrong -- i don't think you're good enough for jason.

Elizabeth: Oh.

Carly: You wouldn't simplify his life, and you certainly are afraid of it.

Elizabeth: If that were true, i would've never told jason about jake in the first place.

Carly: Oh, whatever. I heard about your tearful confession in the elevator. Yeah -- telling jason you were having his kid just about guaranteed you were going to get out of the hotel alive.

Elizabeth: God, you are unbelievable. I thought i was going to die and lose my baby -- i thought jason had a right to know.

Carly: No, jason was happy with sam.

Elizabeth: Oh --

carly: He was losing interest in you, and you couldn't stand it, so you found a way to grab it and keep it -- all the while, keeping his nasty little life at bay. I guess things could be worse -- you guys could be shacked up somewhere and jason could be losing all focus of his life.

Elizabeth: This is his life. You're just not a part of it and it's making you crazy.

Carly: Not being with his son is making jason crazy.

Elizabeth: Ok, look, it was a very difficult and painful decision for all of us, but jason believes this is what's best for jake. He's ok with the way things are.

Carly: He's not ok! No parent would be ok!

Elizabeth: What is it that you want from me, carly?

Carly: I would really, really love for you to disappear.

Elizabeth: Oh --

carly: But since you would take jason's child away from him, i'm going to make sure you can't.

Sonny: Elizabeth should've told you about the baby from the beginning. Lies, secrets -- you know, it always comes out eventually. You were always big on the truth no matter what, right?

Jason: You're right. You're right, but the truth is i can't have my son. And now carly is going to try to make that happen, whether i want it or not, and she's going to make a mess of all our lives.

Diane: You killed someone?

Alexis: It was an accident. I accidentally pushed a man over a hotel balcony and to his death. There were mitigating circumstances.

Diane: Well, there'd have to be. I mean, he was, after all, a man.

Alexis: He was a monster -- killed my sister, got away with it. And then when i was in labor in the middle of nowhere, he was there and he left me there to die, so i snapped.

Diane: Abandonment issues.

Alexis: Hmm.

Diane: Something tells me you came from no more of a loving parental relationship than i did. It says a lot about you -- no judgment, just an observation.

Alexis: So why do we do it?

Diane: Do what?

Alexis: Sonny and jason and ric --

diane: Jerry.

Alexis: I'm doing that for jax.

Diane: Oh, alexis, and here i thought we were being truthful.

Alexis: I am just too tired to figure that one out.

Diane: No, you're too uptight --

[alexis chuckles]

diane: But we'll get you there.

[Alexis giggles] Ok.

[Diane giggles]
