Part 1


Sonny: Are we going to have trouble here?

Man: Where Sonny goes, trouble follows. Isn't that right? Did I get you going?

Sonny: Ah!

Man: I got you, right? I got you going, right?

Sonny: Yeah, you did.

[Man laughs]

Sonny: You did. How you doing?

Man: I look different now, huh?

Sonny: No -- I mean, you -- more of you to go around, but it's not -- right?

Man: Hey, I'm sorry, I'm being rude. Moose, Moose Mince. Sonny and I go back a long ways, the old days.

Kate: Oh.

Moose: And you -- you look familiar.

Kate: You know, people say that all the time. I must have one of those faces. Kate, Kate Howard. It's a pleasure to meet you, Moose.

Moose: Yeah.

[Bell tolls]

Lulu: Ok, you can do this. You're a Spencer. This would be like Disneyland to a Spencer.

Carly: This is the third message I've left for you, Diane. I'd really appreciate it if you could return my phone call.

Announcer: Today the role of Jasper Jacks is being played by Gideon Emery.

Jax: What's going on?

Carly: Trying to find Jason a lawyer.

Jax: Jason already has a lawyer -- Sonny's lawyer, Diane. You know, she's inner circle and is capable of handling any problems that --

Carly: She's not returning my phone calls, so I have to find another lawyer who will represent Jason.

Jax: For what?

Carly: I can't tell you.

Lucky: I'm going to get you out of here, I just need you to --

Regina: No, she can't be moved. She severely cut her leg when she broke through the window to save her baby -- your baby. She saved your son's life.

Elizabeth: Please, just take Jake and go, ok, before that --

Nikolas: You want to blow people up -- go ahead.

Sam: Hey, hey, Nikolas, you have to stop.

Nikolas: Shut up, Sam.

Sam: No, you are not thinking clearly! This guy has a bomb strapped to his body! If he lets his finger off the trigger, a whole lot of us are going to die!

Nikolas: You want to kill people, tough guy, go ahead -- I don't think you can do it. Come on.

[Sam gasps]

Angie: How are we going to tell my husband our baby's in trouble -- especially now?

Kelly: I know this will sound impossible, but you need to let someone else worry about Joe.

Joe: That's it, I have had it! Sam, you saw my wife. Now, you give me good news about her and my kid, because that's the only reason I got for living in this world.

Moose: And my brother Eddie and my sister Mary -- we all hung out in the old neighborhood, you know? Yeah, unbelievable. We hung, but Sonny here -- he kind of like drifted on the fringes -- you know, the dark and silent type.

[Moose chuckles]

Sonny: How is everybody, Moose?

Moose: Hey, Mary -- she owns her own booth in the hair joint -- excuse me, "salon" -- over in Jersey City. If I had a camera, I'd take your picture -- she'd love the way you did your hair.

Kate: Well, thank you, Moose.

Moose: My brother Eddie -- huh. He's still trying to find himself. Me -- I run this place. But tell you the truth, I'm thinking of leaving. It's dying here. I mean, it's -- it's not like the old days anymore.

Sonny: I'm sorry, Moose.

Moose: But we still got the old madam. You want to see her, no?

Sonny: Um -- yeah, maybe.

Moose: She's still taking these --

[Tokens drop]

Moose: Dishing out all them fun and games. You in town on business?

Sonny: Uh -- no, no, no. I'm just -- I'm taking out a lovely lady.

Moose: Yeah, yeah, nice. Hey, you were always a gentleman. It's one thing -- you know, news come down over here about you, you know -- wild times and all? But you bettered yourself real well.

Sonny: Yeah.

Moose: You -- you were smart. You didn't tie yourself up with these gutter girls. Did you put your order in?

Sonny: Yeah, yeah, I just did, I just did.

Moose: Well, let me put a fire under them, you know, get them going. Then I'll leave yous two.

Sonny: All right.

Moose: Well, it was nice meeting you. But damn -- you look so familiar.

Sonny: What was that about -- Connie?

Logan: Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to send Spinelli in there, ok? He's a freak. Who cares if the kid can speak Latin? He'll speak it in geek, and no one's going to understand him anyway. They -- they probably already got him.

Johnny: Didn't Spinelli say that they used this monastery during the French and Indian war to smuggle raw munitions to the French rebels?

Logan: Yes. So what?

Johnny: So, they had to have been traveling upriver -- this place sits on top of a bluff. That means that there could be another entrance down by the water that tunnels up inside. There could be another way in.

Logan: Well, at this point, I'll try anything, so let's go.

Johnny: No, no, no, we got a better chance splits up. If you and Spinelli have a chance of getting Lulu out of here before I'm back, don't worry about me.

Logan: Don't worry, partner, I won't.

Father Franco: Brother, someone will be coming by shortly with food for the young, troubled one.

Man: Good idea. She's not exactly in a Christian mood right now.

Father Franco: Well, it's an all too violent world we live in.

Man: Amen to that.

Father Franco: An innocent girl witnesses a crime that necessitates us putting her under lock and key for her own protection is perhaps an even greater sin.

Man: Though she'd be the last to admit it, I'm sure she appreciates the sanctuary you've given her.

Father Franco: Well, god always has room for one more.

Jax: What are you mixed up in this time, Carly?

Carly: Nothing.

Jax: "Nothing" nothing? Or nothing as in "I'm going to Wyndemere with a gun to play vigilante with the text-message killer"?

Carly: That's not fair. That was different, and Jason's in trouble.

Jax: Yeah, well, of course he is. I mean, that's what Jason does -- he gets in and out of trouble, you know -- and up till now, he seems to be quite adept at doing his job. So if Jason needs or wants a lawyer -- Diane or otherwise -- you know, I'm sure he'll find one.

Carly: You really don't understand, ok?

Jax: Then enlighten me.

Carly: Jason has always been there for me, for me and my boys, he'll be there for anyone I care about -- he'll even be there for you if I ask him to, all right? We have a very close, special relationship, but I don't love him the way that I love you, ok? Listen, this is something I have to do. I promise, I promise I'll back as soon I can, and then I will explain everything to you. What are you doing?

Jax: An intervention.

Joe: What did the doctor say?

Sam: Um -- they -- uh -- she -- she said that she just doesn't know anything yet.

Joe: No, you're stalling! What did she tell you?

Sam: She --

Kelly: She's telling you the truth. I am trying to give you good news, but I can't if I don't do some tests. And I can't do any tests if your wife is in there, a clenched-up bundle of fear, freaking out that you're going to kill yourself and everybody in this hospital. Can you get that through your head?

Joe: Ok, ok. Just run your tests. And the rest of you, stay right where you are.

Kelly: I'm going to need another pair of hands. Where's Monica?

Sonny: Does anybody know what -- what you did to yourself -- from the old neighborhood?

Kate: Stop making it sound so bad.

Sonny: I'm not making it sound bad, you're making it sound bad. But I have noticed that, you know, people in your world are very snobby.

Kate: It's not about snobbery.

Sonny: It isn't?

Kate: No, not for everyone.

Sonny: Oh.

Kate: Well, yeah, there's this creative, elitist attitude, but, Sonny, it's a defense mechanism because most of us never fit in anywhere.

Sonny: You used to fit in here perfect. What are you talking about?

Kate: "What am I talking about?"

Sonny: Yeah.

Kate: I never fit in here. Sonny, I was at odds with everything and everyone. I felt like there was something wrong with me -- until I -- I swiped an issue of "Couture." Those pictures -- they spoke to me, they stirred my imagination. I still have my first issue -- that I stole.

Sonny: Why couldn't Connie Falconeri just make good?

Kate: Oh, god, Sonny --

Sonny: What?

Kate: It's different for you.

Sonny: Oh --

Kate: What?

Sonny: Ah.

Kate: Who you were here is part of the mystique of who you became. It's part of who you became, it's part of your evolution.

Sonny: You evolved.

Kate: No, I didn't evolve, I jumped species -- going from Connie to Kate. If anyone found out of my past as a "gutter girl" from Bensonhurst, it would shatter my present, I wouldn't have a future.

Sonny: You could have a future with me. Or is that not good enough?

[Debris falls]

Carly: I don't know if -- if you're trying to be cute or difficult, but I don't have time for either. You need to let me through the door.

Jax: The purpose of an intervention is to make the individual aware that they have a problem.

Carly: I don't have a problem, except you won't let me go help Jason.

Jax: Do you realize how many times a day you mention that man's name, hmm? How often you defend or rhapsodize about him? How often you bring up how amazingly loving and protective he is, how great he is with the boys? And how no woman is ever good enough to be with him, and how often you stick your nose into his life to prove it? A fact which in itself borders on inappropriate behavior for a married woman, and is highly insulting to said woman's husband.

Carly: Ok, is -- is this about you being jealous?

Jax: No, it is about you being obsessive and -- and having no boundaries where Jason's concerned -- I mean, even Jerry sees it.

Carly: Jerry? Jerry sees what he wants to see, and it's only because he's trying to cause trouble so no one can figure out what he's really trying to do.

Jax: I agree -- you and Jerry have that in common. When we were at Wyndemere with Jerry, Jason came down the stairs and you flew into his arms.

Carly: That's because I was happy to see that he was alive.

Jax: And Jerry said it must be hard for me to know that my wife loves another man so much.

Carly: What the hell is going on he? You know how I feel about Jason.

Jax: You have no idea how that affects other people, including Jason.

Carly: Fine. You want to know what's going on, I'm going to tell you what's going on. That little manipulative witch, Elizabeth Webber, slept with Jason and got herself pregnant and lied to everyone. She lied to her husband, she lied to the baby's father. That's right -- Lucky's not the father, Jason is. And now she's talked Lucky and Jason into keeping the lie for some crazy reason that Jason --

Jax: And you talked yourself into the fact that you have to get involved.

Mayor Floyd: Could someone at least get me another ice pack?

Edward: Pipe down, Garrett, nobody likes a whiner! This is all your fault to begin with.

Mayor Floyd: What?

Edward: Yep. If you had spent more time working for the public good instead of skateboarding for a photo op, we might have a program in place to help the needy people in Port Charles!

Mayor Floyd: Why, Edward, didn't know you cared about the least fortunate.

Joe: Stop talking -- now!

Kelly: Oh, there you are -- I could use your help in cubicle two.

Monica: Uh -- sure. I'll be -- I'll be right there.

Kelly: Ok.

Joe: You know, Sam, I didn't want to do this. I mean, you know me -- I'm a good guy.

Sam: I know, I know, Joe. You know, sometimes bad things happen to really good people.

Joe: 30 years I put into that business, and it's -- it's gone. I lost everything, and -- and now I'm going to lose my kid.

Sam: Hey -- no, no, no, no. You don't know that yet.

Joe: Oh -- you know, when they came to take my garage -- they wouldn't even let me keep anything, but I was smart, I knew they were coming. You remember that -- that old Desoto that used to be parked out front?

Sam: Do I? Yes, the -- the antique car, right?

Joe: 1941 series s-8 custom coupe.

Sam: Ooh. Definitely beautiful.

Joe: Oh, sweet. You know, it doesn't run, but the interior and exterior -- mint condition. And I -- I still l all the neighborhood kids play in it whenever they want, because the day my father brought that car home, he did the same for me anyway, when they -- when they came to take my livelihood from me, I got up before the sun and I went down to the lot and I pushed that Desoto all the way home. I'd give anything to see my kid behind the wheel of that car. It was so frustrating, like a mystery I couldn't solve.

Kate: Oh, so you're making this about absolutes?

Sonny: No, no, no, I'm just -- I'm making this about you and me and what we could have ahead of us. This isn't about what's written in stone on some Bensonhurst corner the night you left me hanging. You know what? I -- I brought you to this place because it's -- this is where the two of us can be us. We were having problems in Port Charles and Manhattan -- worlds that only work for one of us at a time -- so, hey, you know what? This place -- this place is just fine.

Kate: Sonny, just because I deny my past doesn't make my memories of you any less sweet.

Sonny: I understand that, but, you know, the -- yes, a lot of things in the past weren't good, but -- when I would, you know, take you on walks on the beach on Coney Island, we would pretend that, you know, we were just friends. We would make out in the back row of the Stillwell movie place. We would just look in each other's eyes and it was like --

Sonny: Remember when we used to say that we said more in five seconds looking at each other than most people did talking for hours? You know why? Because we knew who we were, we knew -- what we wanted. Ahem. Or maybe we were just saying things so we wouldn't scare each other off, you know, because we always held so much inside, you know?

Kate: Yeah -- like you working for Joe Scully?

Sonny: Yeah, and what about you? What did you keep to yourself?

Kate: I didn't keep anything to myself. I always said that I wanted more.

Sonny: No, no, you said you wanted better, and that night that we ditched everything to run away together, that -- I thought you did. But -- uh -- maybe when you said you "wanted better," you meant you wanted better than me.

Kate: Sonny, it was timing.

Sonny: Yeah. It was timing. It's always timing, you know, right? Timing's got to be perfect.

Kate: Oh --

Moose: Fortunato's presents carciofe parmigiano for two.

Kate: Mmm.

Sonny: All right.

Kate: Talk about timing.

Moose: Enjoy.

Kate: It's perfect -- I'm starved.

Sonny: Perfect.

Man: I thought you guys were all praying or something. Oh -- the vow-of-silence thing. Careful -- she can be rough.

Spinelli: Fair Lulu? Fair Lulu, it is I, The Jackal, here --

Lulu: Hello?

[Lulu screams]

Carly: All this time, Jason has had a son, and he couldn't be with him.

Jax: And you just found this out?

Carly: Yes.

Jax: And you're upset because he never told you.

Carly: Ok, that is besides the point here.

Jax: Is it? You know, I mean, it seems to me he didn't tell you because he knew what your reaction would be.

Carly: It's the right reaction.

Jax: Is it?

Carly: Jason needs to fight for custody.

Jax: Isn't that his choice?

Carly: He has it in his head that if the truth comes out, that his son will be in danger.

Jax: Well, I tend to agree. I mean, look how Sonny's kids have been used against him.

Carly: Jason will protect him. Do you know how badly Jason wants to be a father?

Jax: Not really. You know, I'm not friends with Jason. I'm not married to Jason. You know, I'm trying to have my own family right here -- which brings me to a very important question. You have any idea how badly I want a child -- with you?

Lucky: Is it save to move him?

Epiphany: Where to?

Lucky: With that bomb, anywhere but here.

Kelly: The baby appears hydropic.

Angie: What does that mean?

Monica: It means the baby seems to be swollen.

Angie: But my baby could be born ok, right? Right?

Kelly: If the baby's swollen, it's a sign he's suffering from congestive heart failure. How long have you had these flu-like symptoms?

Angie: I don't know -- about a week? I do a lot of babysitting to bring in extra cash, and there's always some little boy or girl who's got something.

Monica: And you never saw a doctor?

Angie: Well, I went to the free clinic a few times, and they gave me some antibiotics, but they never seemed to kick in.

Kelly: We don't think it's the flu.

Angie: Then what is it?

Kelly: We need to run some blood tests to be certain exactly what it is.

Joe: I thought I told you to stay seated. You're taking a big gamble with other people's lives.

Jason: Is that what you are -- a gambler, Joe? You -- you play poker?

Joe: Oh, I know enough about poker -- I know enough not to play. Luck's never been my friend.

Jason: All right, what about -- what about roulette? I mean, you know, I always bet on red -- you always have a 50/50 chance of winning, right? I don't really have a lucky number, but, you know, some people play their ages, their -- their birthdays, their anniversaries

Joe: Stay back, stay back. I'm not kidding -- one more step, I let this go.

Sam: Jason!

Joe: I'm going to let it go!
