Marianna: You know, I was looking outside the curtains and I realized how often I walked the beach. And you could see this place from over there. And I -- I've always wondered what it would be like to spend the night here.
Ric: Hey, you -- you know what I realized when we were downstairs? Um -- we haven't really introduced ourselves.
Marianna: Well, I know your name. It's Richard. I heard your father call you that at the coffee shop.
Ric: Oh. And your name is Marianna.
Marianna: Hmm.
Ric: Because I -- I saw your name on -- on your nametag.
Marianna: So what does that say about us?
Ric: Well, that we're comfortable with one another, you know? That we don't need names or -- it doesn't matter what we do or what we have.
Marianna: So what does?
Ric: What it feels like when we do this.
Ric: Hey, you said you're not working today, right?
Marianna: Uh-uh.
Ric: I want you to show me your favorite beach. Ok? And then I'm going to take you to lunch, and I don't want to hear any arguments, ok?
Marianna: You don't have to do this.
Ric: Well, ok, you don't have to come if you don't want to.
Marianna: No, I want to.
Ric: Yeah? Ok. I'm going to go take a shower and -- and get the day started. Unless you want to go first.
Marianna: No, you go first.
Ric: Ok. All right.
[Shower runs]
Ric: Or if you want to save time and water --
Monica: Oh, Tracy, will you back off? Or I will gladly give you reason to file assault charges along with this stupid malpractice suit.
Tracy: Why didn't you go home last night?
Monica: Because I didn't feel like it. I decided I would -- I would take a nap in my office.
Tracy: Did you nap or pass out?
Monica: What are you getting at?
Tracy: I don't know. But I know that your surgical privileges were suspended, and you left here with alcohol on your breath. Next thing I know, you're wearing hospital scrubs and spouting some ridiculous story about your car getting stolen. There is a lot to get at there. I can't wait to find out what it is.
Elizabeth: When did this happen?
Lucky: I hear sometime between 10:00 and Midnight.
Elizabeth: Where?
Lucky: Outside of town. This is all my fault.
Elizabeth: Why do you say that?
Lucky: Sam and I -- we had it out after you and I talked about the stuff, and I -- it just got ugly and I basically threw her out.
Elizabeth: No, don't blame yourself. You don't know what happened out there.
Lucky: No, there's something else. After I pretty much unloaded on Sam, about 10 minutes later, she called and she said that she'd gotten a message from the text message killer, that he -- he was after her.
Elizabeth: That's not true. It was Cooper Barrett.
Lucky: I know, that's what we all want to believe. Unfortunately, I wasn't in the mood to believe anything Sam had to say. But what if Sam -- what if Sam was telling the truth? I mean, what if this killer is alive, and was after her?
Lulu: Does that hurt?
Logan: Well, if I say no, will you touch me again? Come on. I want to be able to joke around without you actually thinking I'm always trying to jump your bones.
Lulu: Oh. Well, when you put it that way --
Logan: Well, look, let me put it like this, ok? I would love to make love to you, but I know you're not ready -- for me or anybody else. For the record, I meant every word I said to your father, especially the part about doing anything I could to take back what happened.
Lulu: What really happened?
Logan: Look, I know you make a big difference in my life, Lulu. When I'm -- when I'm with you, when we're connecting, I get the most incredible feeling. And when we're --
[Logan groans]
Logan: When I'm not, you know, I go out and do something crazy.
Lulu: Oh. Huh. I'm not sure if that's a good thing.
Logan: Look, from where I sit, it's all good. And I know it could only get better.
Johnny: Sonny Corinthos runs a coffee-importing business as a front. Jason Morgan is his partner on paper.
Claudia: But his enforcer in the real world.
Johnny: If it were up to Sonny, I'd be dead by now, but Jason Morgan, for some reason, has stood up for me several times, given me the benefit of the doubt.
Claudia: Well, that's a strange weakness for a man in Morgan's position. It -- it must be connected to some personal weakness he has.
Johnny: "Weakness" is not a word I'd use to describe Morgan or Corinthos.
Claudia: Everybody has weak spot, baby brother.
Johnny: Even you?
Claudia: I heard that daddy went crazy at some big party and -- and that it was partly because of you and some girl. Hmm? Is that right? Is there some girl in your life? I mean, other than for medicinal fun and games?
Johnny: I don't want to talk about it.
Claudia: I used to tell you everything. I remember, I used to tell you almost everything. And you've grown up so handsome and so strong and dark. But I guess that couldn't have been avoided, not in this house, huh? There is no love that can share that with you. There's no love that can chase shadows that big and that hungry, and that dark. So you do whatever you want out there in the world. Don't fall in love, Johnny. Love hurts. Love kills.
Lucky: Well, I don't want to start a mass panic, and tell people the text messenger is still alive -- could be on the loose. I mean, it's possible Sam could be lying to me to get sympathy.
Elizabeth: Well, is she going to be ok?
Lucky: She suffered from a lot of injuries.
Elizabeth: Hmm.
Lucky: We'll know more when she wakes up.
Elizabeth: So you're here in just an official capacity?
Lucky: Yeah, I'm telling myself that, trying to be rational, telling myself it's not my fault.
Elizabeth: It's not. You didn't put her in the middle of the road, you didn't hit her.
Lucky: I told her to get out and never come back.
Elizabeth: Well, do you guys have any clues as to who did it?
Lucky: We still got people working on it. I mean, well, rain has worked against us. Probably wash away any evidence that was there.
Elizabeth: It's really a bad night to be driving.
Lucky: What, you were out in the storm?
[Phone rings]
Lucky: I got to go.
Cassius: Look, no juices on me. I'm clean.
Epiphany: Cassius, why are you here trying my patience? If you are waiting for me to have another meltdown, it is not happening.
Cassius: Nurse Johnson, look, you lost your son. And you allowed yourself a moment, one brief moment to grieve.
Epiphany: You are not a shrink. You're an orderly.
Cassius: And now you're soldiering on.
Epiphany: That means you take your orders from me.
Cassius: Huh. Which is why I have to drink my V8 F2usion, so I can keep up with you. Which is also why I know when you're tired. See, I take notice of people, all people. That's something my mama did teach me.
Monica: Bobbie, I have a favor to ask of you.
Bobbie: Of course.
Monica: Can you take me home?
Bobbie: Are you all right?
Monica: No, but you can't ask any questions. Just give me a ride home.
Bobbie: Yeah, you want to change your clothes first?
Monica: No questions, please.
Luke: So here you are. You are a very difficult woman to track down. Where did you spend the night?
Tracy: I had work to do in the boardroom.
Luke: You locked the door and slept on the boardroom sofa.
Tracy: What do you want, Luke?
Luke: Do I have to want something to talk to my lovely wife?
Tracy: Well, let's see. You don't have a bank account to embezzle from because I no longer have one. Of course you want something.
Luke: What if I said I want you?
Tracy: I wouldn't believe you.
Claudia: Hmm.
Trevor: Claudia -- come on. Let's clear the air.
Trevor: You're right, I admit it. I didn't realize how much you've changed.
Claudia: You didn't think I had it in me, hmm?
Trevor: Not the little girl who left here at 16. Even your father was surprised.
Claudia: Hmm. Maybe at first, but then I think it quickly turned to fear. He may be paralyzed, but he's not stupid. Unlike some of the moves that have been made in this business since I've been gone.
Trevor: Exactly what do you know about this business?
Claudia: Oh, I know that I wouldn't have tried encroaching on a local kingpin's territory unless I had guaranteed myself a foothold. Say, that prime waterfront property that used to belong to Lorenzo Alcazar.
Trevor: Well, I'm working on that.
Claudia: You're not doing a very good job of it. From what I see, there are a dozen ways that you could've done this differently. Successfully. But what I see here -- it's pure antagonism. It's as if you had some score to settle.
Trevor: Is that what the new you is really all about? I mean, are you trying to settle some score with your father? Because he's gone. And I'm here in his place.
Claudia: I thought Johnny was in his place.
Trevor: Come on, no more games. I know things about you.
Claudia: And I know things about you.
Ric: You know, when I was out before, it was pretty cold.
Marianna: No more than usual.
Ric: No, I don't think you're going to be warm enough.
Marianna: It's ok, really.
Ric: Well, still, I think you're going to be a little warmer in this.
Marianna: What is this?
Ric: I was souvenir shopping for the girls earlier and I passed this window and I saw this and I saw you in it.
Marianna: I can't accept gifts from you. You know, this is turning into something all wrong. You know, have a nice walk.
Ric: Well, where can we meet for lunch?
Marianna: No, you can have a nice lunch at the Copper Kettle. The oyster stew is really fresh.
Ric: Ok, where can we meet for dinner?
Marianna: Nowhere. I have an early shift.
Ric: Oh. Well, then why don't you just stay the night? I mean, it might save you a nice bus ride. Hey, hey, hey. What's going on?
Elizabeth: Hello?
Jason: Hey. Can -- can you talk?
Elizabeth: No, not really. Can I call you back?
Jason: Yeah. Yeah, sure. Are you ok?
Elizabeth: Yeah, yeah. Let me call you back. Ok, bye.
Trevor: Come on, Claudia. I don't want to get off on the wrong foot here.
Claudia: I don't like being used. Although, I can't remember the last time that happened.
Trevor: You and your brother -- you still need me.
Claudia: I'll be clear with you, ok? I will keep you around as long as I think you're being useful.
Trevor: Yeah, you talk to me like that and behave like that, I'm going to destroy you and your whole family.
Claudia: But you'd destroy yourself in the process, Trevor. And something tells me you have far too much time, effort, and blatant manipulation involved on my father and Johnny to let that happen.
Trevor: Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk.
Claudia: Admit it, it's fun being you. What's more powerful than controlling the family with the power? And it's been very lucrative for you. There's no reason why that can't continue as long as you know your place.
Trevor: I know exactly what my place is. I am only the lawyer.
Claudia: Good. Johnny tells me that we're in a stalemate situation with this Corinthos.
Trevor: That's because Sonny sees Johnny as a kid who won't make a show of force to prove otherwise.
Claudia: What is your relationship with Corinthos?
Trevor: It's complicated.
Claudia: Ok. Just so you know, that won't always be a satisfactory answer. We need something to shake up Corinthos and the other families, just to get them off-guard, while I get the lay of the land.
Trevor: I'm sure that I will think of something.
Claudia: I've already thought of something.
Marianna: You can't offer me gifts and then make fun of me when I turn them down.
Ric: I wasn't making fun of you, I'm just trying to get you to talk. I'm trying to find out how this wonderful evening dissolved into -- I don't -- I don't know what this is.
Marianna: I'm sorry. I'm ruining everything.
Ric: Ok, look -- no, it's all right. Look, this is not a gift. Just think of it as something in exchange for all the coffee that you've given me, all right? Especially outside of my old family home. It was very cold. Sounds fair, right? Don't you think?
Marianna: Ok.
Ric: All right. Can you get it? Here you go.
[Marianna gasps]
Ric: Huh?
Marianna: It's beautiful.
Ric: Ah, only if it fits.
Marianna: Oh.
Ric: Here. There you go. There you go.
Ric: How does that feel?
Marianna: I don't think anything's ever made me feel this warm.
Ric: Good. Come on, let's go.
Ric: Hmm. Hello? Hello? Oh. Must have gotten the wrong room.
[Ric sighs]
Ric: Oh, that looks great. Come on.
Logan: I know I'm in no position to give you things.
Lulu: Stop right there. I don't need things.
Logan: Yeah, but it doesn't mean that I don't want to give them to you.
Lulu: What I need from someone is love. To feel like I'm the only one to be allowed to be myself, good and bad, and still have a place to fall when I want to just close my eyes and feel nothing but safe.
Logan: Come here. Come here.
Lulu: Huh.
Johnny: Should I be worried?
Jason: About what?
Johnny: Sonny's back and was his charming homicidal self with me. I thought maybe you came to finish the job.
Jason: I can talk to Sonny.
Johnny: I don't think that's going to be enough.
Jason: Why is that? Is Trevor planning something I should know about?
Johnny: Trevor tried, I'll give him that. Somebody just told me something, and -- huh -- I'm having a hard time believing it.
Jason: What's that?
Johnny: Love kills. What do you think?
Lucky: Cruz --
Det. Rodriguez: We might have a tire print. There's nothing else to go on. Sorry. I know this is important to you.
Lucky: Listen, if you get anything new, you call me.
Det. Rodriguez: I will. Oh, there was one funny thing, though. While I was here, Jason Morgan just happened to show up.
Elizabeth: My god, did I do this to you?
>> On the next "general hospital" --
Claudia: I'm interested in meeting this Sonny Corinthos. Call that meeting. Sonny: I need you to find somebody. Jax: You're scared of something. You don't want to tell me what it is? [Tires screech] Elizabeth: Do you have any idea who did this to you?
