Jason: Who were you yelling at?

Nikolas: Uh -- i was just trying to put myself back at the moment before -- before i blacked out and lost emily. I was trying to figure out what happened -- how my blood got on her mask and gown.

Jason: Well, maybe she hit you with something.

Nikolas: She wouldn't do that.

Jason: How do you know that?

Nikolas: Because i know. I know that she wouldn't do that to me any more than -- any more than i would hurt her. I couldn't have killed her, jason, there has to be someone else.

Jason: Cooper. Was he there?

Nikolas: I don't -- i don't know. I can't -- i can't see him there.

[Jason sighs]

nikolas: Tell me, are you sure? Are you 100% sure that coop is emily's killer?

Jason: No.

Nikolas: Do you think it was me?

Jason: No, i don't.

Nikolas: See? Then we have a problem. Then we all have a problem.

Luke: Spanky, you look incredible.

[Tracy sighs]

luke: No, i mean it. You -- you just look so great. I heard they kicked you out on your sweet little keister.

Edward: We did.

Tracy: Yes, and in your haste to put all my possessions in a cardboard box, you forgot the jewelry mother gave me.

Edward: Don't you touch one more thing that belongs to lila because if you do, i know you'll just pawn it!

Tracy: Actually, i was going to pawn my wedding ring but i could only get a night at the y out of it.

Monica: What is this litigious cow doing back in my house?

Tracy: You're withholding my property.

Monica: I am going to drag you out of here myself.

Alice: Oh, no, i'll do it --it's my job to take out the trash.

Edward: I want you both out of here at once.

Tracy: Not without my pearls.

Luke: Edward, lila would feel so badly about this animosity. Monica: This is my house!

Lulu: Stop! Come on, you guys always have to fight?

Edward: It's a family tradition.

Monica: All right, i will give you five minutes, then i'm calling the police and have them drag you out!

Edward: And when they do, if you find any silver or jewelry dropping out of your pockets, you will be arrested for theft.

Lulu: Well, you probably want to hash this out with my dad so i'm going to go pack a couple of things and go. I'm very glad that you're back. I hope you find a reason this time to stay, but don't worry -- i won't count on it.

Tracy: Where are you going?

Luke: She said she won't stay if i'm not staying. Look, i -- i talked to monica and i told her that i'd get you to drop the -- the malpractice suit and -- and also that we'd take another look at alan's will. And we'll divvy up all that money and put it back where it belongs and everything can go back to normal. What do you say?

Tracy: How do you feel?

Luke: Not bad.

Tracy: Really?

Luke: Yeah, really.

Tracy: Good.

Luke: Oh!

Kate: Oh, do you know how long it's been since i just sat on a stoop like this? I was just a girl, a restless dreamer who couldn't wait to get the hell away from the smell of bread or whatever else was on her neighborhood street.

Jax: I thought you were born abroad.

Kate: Oh, yeah. Well, that's good and vague, isn't it? "Abroad" -- it covers a whole multitude of possible bad breeding. No, one would look at kate howard and assume that "abroad" meant london or rome, swaddled in silks. But what it really means is "a broad." Two words -- "a broad." Yeah, no silver spoons, no designer silks. No, the most exotic thing in my household was my dad -- swearing to the garbage man in italian.

Jax: Have you been drinking?

Kate: No.

[Jax chuckles]

kate: No, i am painfully sober, jax. I'm painfully aware of the enormous truth that i've been hiding fromyself and from the world.

Jax: What truth?

Kate: Ok, first, you have to promise that you won't tell a living soul what i'm about to tell you.

Singer: You said you love me you said you love me but then you left me but then you left me

sonny's voice: Kate howard/connie falconeri, will you please do me the honor of being my wife I'm not going to beg you. So if you can't say yes, don't bother saying no.

Kate: Oh --

singer: You left me but then you left me your love is like the sun it tears into my soul and now that you are gone

carly: Michael, can you come down here for a minute, please?

Michael: Ok, what did i do now?

Carly: Oh, nothing, sweetie. You didn't do anything. I just wanted to talk to you for a minute. I know how upset you were after what happened to leticia and emily.

Michael: And you. But don't worry, i'm going to protect you.

Carly: Oh -- that is so brave and sweet of you, but you don't have to protect me. The man who did those horrible things -- honey, he's -- uh -- he's dead.

Michael: Did dad and jason get to him?

Carly: No. No, he was a very sick, guilty man and he took his own life.

Michael: But there are other bad guys out there, right?

Carly: Well, yeah. But we don't have to worry about this one.

Michael: Can i go back upstairs now?

Carly: Sure, go ahead.

Lucky: I want to believe you. But i know i can't.

Sam: Whoa, whoa, i don't understand.

Lucky: I didn't, either. I know there were a lot of hard feelings between you and jason and elizabeth and i had no idea why.

Sam: I already -- i don't care about that anymore. I already -- i told you. I even went to elizabeth today to try and make peace.

Lucky: I know.

Sam: "You know"? What -- what do you mean? She told you?

Lucky: She told me a lot of things -- some very ugly things.

Sam: But you -- i mean, you can't believe anything that she says. She doesn't want us to be together, she doesn't want us to be happy.

Lucky: She doesn't want our children in danger. That's why she freaked out when she came home and found you alone with jake. I mean, what if -- what if it did get out that jason was jake's father and somebody grabbed him and ran off with him and then you stood by and let it happen -- like that day you did in the park?

Luke: Well, that wasn't exactly the welcome i had in mind.

Tracy: Well, this isn't exactly the marriage i had in mind -- in fact, i never had a marriage with you in mind at all. And then i woke up one hideous morning in a cheap hotel room in las vegas with a whopper of a hangover and a whopper of a ring on my finger. And since then, it has been nothing but one underhanded game after another and watching you run off and play slap-and-tickle with any woman stupid enough to fall for your line of crap!

Luke: Tracy, what married couple don't go through rough patches?

Tracy: Luke, either you divorce me or you run off again, and this time, stay gone for seven years so i can declare you dead because as far as i'm concerned, that's exactly what you are.

[Music plays]

sonny: Been waiting all night, thought you weren't showing up. A man like me does not like to be kept waiting.

Woman: And i don't like to be taken care of in a bar.

Sonny: What do you like?

Woman: If you have to ask, then i came to the wrong room.

Sonny: Where you going?

Singer: You said that you always would love me you said that you

jax: What's this mystery about?

Kate: Me, and if you care about me and you care about kate howard, you will do as i ask.

Jax: Fine. I promise i won't tell anyone.

Kate: No, including -- and especially -- carly. Can you do that?

Carly: Hey.

Jason: Hey. Is jax around?

Carly: Uh -- no. No, he's out for a while. Why? Is it jake? Is he ok?

Jason: You know, you can't keep saying that every time i see you.

Carly: I'm sorry, ok? I'm -- i'm sorry. What's wrong, then? Why are you here?

Jason: Ok, i -- i really have nothing to back this up but instinct.

Carly: Instinct? Ok, well, i trust your instinct.

Jason: I'm not sure that cooper was really the text message killer.

Nikolas: She's -- she's sleeping. I don't even know why i'm here, other than she was your best friend.

Emily: Nikolas, she was our best friend. You need to go see her. You need to see her, your brother, your son. It's time for you to start reconnecting with your life again.

Nikolas: But you're my life.

Emily: I was. I don't know. I -- i think i need to be at rest.

Nikolas: Well, i won't rest until i find out who did this to you.

Nikolas: Let's go.

Sam: I can explain.

Lucky: No, you can't. I'm sure you can lie, and i'm -- i'm sure you could come up with some real convincing story. I'm sure you could even hire some people to put on some good, convincing act for me -- kind of like the two thugs that you hired to terrorize elizabeth and those two innocent little boys just so you could be on "everyday heroes."

Sam: Hey, will you please just let me say something, please?

Lucky: There's nothing that you could do to make a difference. The only thing you can do nowis get the hell out of my life.


>> On the next "General Hospital" --

Lucky: Never come near Jake again.

Carly: Who do you think the real killer is?

Sam: I just got a text message from the killer.

Lucky: I'm not falling for it.

Sam: Please!

Lucky: I got to go.
