Part 2


Johnny: You need to go.

Lulu: I'm not going anywhere for a while.

Johnny: But you don't understand --

Lulu: I will go, I promise, but not until I know that you're going to be ok.

Johnny: Tell me about this place.

Lulu: It used to belong to my dad. He and my mom got in a lot of trouble on this boat. Rumor even has it that they might have saved the world on it.

Johnny: Tough act to follow.

Lulu: Yeah -- not the "saving of the world" part, the saving of each other. The way they were in love, given the odds that were against them, I'm actually surprised that they survived it. I don't even know what love looks like.

Johnny: It doesn't look like anything -- it's a mind game.

Lulu: You're getting worse.

Johnny: I'm fine.

Lulu: No, you're not.

Johnny: You always have to be right, don't you?

Lulu: Johnny?

Logan: So let me get this straight -- you're accusing me of stealing a file -- not just any file, but a file that would link Johnny Zacchara to Georgie's death?

Scott: I'm not accusing you of anything, I'm just asking.

Logan: Well -- let me just skip past the massive amount of insult and ask you the burning question of "why?" Why would I do that? Why would I take a file that would link Johnny Zacchara to Georgie's death and get him out of Lulu's life for good, huh?

Scott: Well, maybe because you -- you might think that if you had something on Johnny, you might be able to squeeze him to stay away from Lulu.

Logan: What's better than headed to prison for murder?

Scott: Well, you know, sometimes the law doesn't work the way it's supposed to work, especially when you got a hotshot attorney like Trevor Lansing -- not to mention he's the daddy to the district attorney.

Logan: You're something, you know that? Forget about me asking for help with a job, forget about me ever talking to you, period.

Scott: Hey, did it ever occur to you that I'm just trying to help? That maybe I -- I didn't want to see you jump into a tub of hot water, in spite of this -- this picture you're painting of me, of this deadbeat dad?

Logan: It's a little late for you to be looking out for me. You just stay out of my life. You know what? I should be thankful you didn't think I stole that file because there was something in there that fingered me as Georgie's killer.

Maxie: Mac knows you didn't take that file.

Coop: You said something happened -- what?

Maxie: Yeah, I should be jumping for joy about it, but --

Coop: Well, what happened?

Maxie: I found a note. I mean, it's more than we've ever gotten before, but --

Coop: I still don't understand.

Maxie: My mom left -- again.

Sam: I wish we could be more help.

Mac: That's ok. Look, what you've given us so far is good. Don't worry. I mean, it's possible that something will occur to you that isn't registering right now. Once the shock wears off, maybe you'll remember more.

Alexis: I really just want to call viola one more time, I need to check on the girls.

Mac: Absolutely.

Lucky: Hey, are you really all right?

Sam: No, I am not all right. I -- I just really can't believe it. I would like to take a stick and beat myself over the head with it.

Lucky: Why?

Sam: Why? Because I have done whole shows on self-defense. I have had experts on. I have participated in demonstrations, what to do in case you're being attacked. Step one, two, three -- everything. Everything I ever learned went straight out the window. I saw my mother being attacked and I saw red. I flew at the guy, and he got away!

Lucky: Sam, you saved her life, and that is no small thing.

Sam: And that's really going to tick the killer off, isn't it?

Jason: It's not like I haven't, you know, thought about claiming Jake and having a real family with you.

Elizabeth: Jason, please don't let my lapse in parenting make you do something you're going to regret later on. You and Lucky and I made an agreement that, to the world, Lucky is Jake's father. We did it for a reason -- we did it to protect Jake.

Jason: So you wouldn't want us all to be together?

Elizabeth: Oh, my god, my heart wants nothing more. But my head, when I'm being practical --

Jason: I know, I know. I can't -- I can't tell you that the violence in my life isn't going to be there anymore, or won't always be there. And when I'm being practical, I know that -- I know that we did the right thing. But I think about you and Jake every night, and I'm wondering what you're doing and I want to call you, I want to see you, I want to hold you. I just want to be with you, and I want to be with my son. But I know I can't be.

Elizabeth: I have the exact same thoughts. I guess we didn't anticipate how much pain this sacrifice would cause you.

Jason: It's just I realize if it was only my life -- not just my life that could hurt Jake, it's -- it's life, you know, and I can't -- I can't be there.

Elizabeth: The fire should've never happened. I'm only going to be in here for a day or two more, and then we can go home -- Jake and I can go home. But at least we have the safe house.

Jason: I know. We got the safe house, I know. There's just no place that we can all be together.

Elizabeth: Well, maybe we need to stop hoping for a perfect world and just be glad with what we do have.

Jason: You're right. I -- I should go.

Elizabeth: I know I shouldn't ask, but could you just stay with me until I fall asleep?

Jason: Of course. Yeah, get some rest. The sooner you get out of here, the sooner we can steal -- steal some time to be together.

Patrick: What are you doing?

Leyla: Just what it looks like -- although I was half expecting you to be waiting for me when I got in.

Patrick: Waiting for what?

Leyla: Ok, why all the confusion? It's your turn in the game, right? Last time, I called you to an emergency in the locker room, this time --

Patrick: Leyla, the only emergency is the fact that you don't have any clothes on.

Leyla: What?

Patrick: Dr. Ford is going to be here any minute -- he asked me to meet him here to check out his nephew --

Leyla: Oh, my god, what the hell is wrong with you? Why didn't you tell me?

Patrick: I did, remember? "Exam room 10-C, stat, Dr. Drake"? The fact that you let your mind wander to this place is really not my fault, and you know what? Yeah, I -- I would really hurry.

Leyla: Oh -- help me make the table, hurry.

Patrick: No, no, see, that would be such a waste of time -- because we're just going to mess it up again.

Leyla: What? Why? What about Dr. Ford?

Patrick: He went home two hours ago -- and just for the record, he doesn't have a nephew.

Leyla: This is your idea of a joke.

Patrick: A little bit more like a tease. Now, I'm hoping we can still --

Patrick: Ok, not exactly what I was expecting.

Leyla: Of all the juvenile, boorish tricks --

Patrick: Ok, at the risk of getting slapped again -- it was a joke, lighten up.

Leyla: It's one thing to toy with me personally, but I happen to take my career very seriously.

Patrick: And so do I, and I'm good at it -- frankly, I'm probably one of the best -- but it doesn't mean I can't laugh at myself every once in a while.

Leyla: That's because you're so damn good at detaching yourself. I can't afford to tank my career over some exam room Romeo. I'm good at what I do, too. Oh, and for the record, you may be the best in the O.R., but I've had better in the bedroom.

Patrick: Well, then I must be slacking off, and it won't happen again.

Leyla: Yeah, you're right about that, doctor.

Ric: Well, I suppose nobody's had a perfect childhood. I guess the key is to be able to leave it behind, though.

Woman: "If we knew what we were doing as children, there'd be no need for childhood." It's something my mother used to say.

Ric: Oh.

Woman: I'm -- I'm sorry for whatever it is you're going through -- I didn't mean to pry.

Ric: Yeah, it's ok. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be so mysterious about the whole thing.

Woman: Sometimes a little mystery is healthy between people. I -- I should go. I'm going to miss my bus.

Ric: Ok. Thanks for the coffee.

Woman: Yeah.

Ric: It was just the way I like it.

Woman: I knew that.

Ric: How?

Woman: Just something I do -- only seems to work with coffee. I guess everybody gets a little gift in this life.

Woman: Well, good night.

Ric: Yeah, good night.

Coop: Hey, I got to go back on duty.

Maxie: Ok, well, do you think we could hang out tonight?

Coop: Well, I don't know how this night's going to play out, so I'll call you, ok?

Maxie: Oh -- sure, ok.

[Knock on door]

Maxie: Georgie? You're going to catch who did it, right?

Mac: Your mother -- um -- she said she wanted to help. I told her not to. I think I really hurt her. So when you go home, you might want to be prepared.

Maxie: Mac, she's already gone.

Lucky: Listen, this isn't open for discussion. I'm taking you both home and I think that you need to tell Ric what happened.

Alexis: Well, he'll find out about it and there's really nothing he can do about it. I can't reach him right now anyway, I don't know where he is. I just want to get home and see my girls.

Lucky: All right, let's go.

Scott: Alexis, I just heard what happened. Is there anything I can do?

Alexis: Unless you have a better idea, I think we need to put an A.P.B. out on Johnny Zacchara.

Lulu: Johnny? Hey, I found this in the closet, ok? Here, wrap it around you. That wound looks infected. I just really hope I got the antibiotics to you on time.

Johnny: They take a while to kick in.

Lulu: Well, if this gets worse --

Johnny: No doctors. I'll be ok. How can I be this hot and this cold at the same time? I remember when I was little, like 4 or 5, I had a fever like this. We were snowed in and I was shivering. She wrapped a blanket around me, held me there for hours.

Lulu: Your mom?

Johnny: Her arms must've been so tired. She just held me until I fell asleep. I guess if love feels like anything, that's it. That wasn't a hint.

Lulu: Shut up.

Johnny: You're beautiful -- did I say that before?

Lulu: No, and when your fever breaks, you're not going to remember saying it now.

Johnny: So I can say anything --

Lulu: Stop talking.

Johnny: I guess if love did look like anything -- you're right. I should shut up.

[Music plays]

Singer: I've lost my mind just to get to you

Leyla: Oh, wait -- the lights.

Patrick: I'll get them.

Leyla: No, it's ok.

Singer: I said I would not do

Leyla: If it's games you want, doctor, I'll win.

Singer: Nothing

Patrick: Leyla -- Leyla? Leyla, what are you doing? Give me -- give me my clothes -- Leyla --

Singer: No more lonely nights

Jason: Will you forgive me?

[Elizabeth gasps]

Sonny's voice: You're scared, you'll say anything.

Ric's voice: I'm begging you to shoot me, brother.

Sonny's voice: I'm not your brother. No, I'm not.

Ric: Adela was pregnant when you were here -- when you pushed her down those stairs.

Sonny: I didn't push her down those stairs.

Ric: You know -- you know who she was pregnant with, Sonny, huh? Me. Trevor Lansing is my father. He owned this house. Adela is my mother.

Sonny: No way.

Ric: Why don't you go ahead and shoot me, all right? I'm the bastard brother, I've been planning your destruction for years! Come on, don't you want a little payback?

Alexis: I'm sorry I have to drag you back here, but I'm sure my keys fell out here somewhere.

Lucky: I'm going to post a couple of men at the lake house.

Sam: Ok.

Alexis: That really won't be necessary.

Lucky: Yes, it is.

Alexis: Oh, thank god. I'd be lost without these.

[Phones ring]

>> On the next "General Hospital" --

Logan: Are we over?
Maxie: You want to go to Canada -- today?

Michael: The man who tried to kill mom is still out there. Why hasn't someone tried to stop him?
