Luke: I thought I might find you here.

Tracy: How come you always show up when I don't want to see you?

Luke: Tracy, you know that isn't true.

Tracy: It is true. Our marriage is over.

Trevor: With all due respect, Claudia, you don't know the players. The five families up here never even heard that Anthony Zacchara had a daughter.

Claudia: Well, then it's about time they did. I'm particularly interested in meeting this Sonny Corinthos. I can't quite picture him in my mind, but from what I've heard, I'm fascinated already.

Sonny: Oh, man.

[Knock on door]

Max: Boss, you wanted me to do something for you?

Sonny: Yeah. I need you to go pick up Michael from school, bring him here.

Max: Ok.

Jason: I got your message. What's up?

Sonny: Uh -- I need you to find somebody.

Jax: How is the beautiful, glowing mother of my child doing?

[Carly giggles]

Carly: Good, good. I have an appointment with Dr. Lee later, but I couldn't wait to start thinking about decorating the nursery.

Jax: How come your car's not out front?

Carly: Oh, I had it sent to the shop so I could get the damage repaired.

Jax: Damage? I thought you just scratched it. What'd you hit?

Elizabeth: I didn't know you were conscious.

Sam: Where am I? What happened?

Elizabeth: It's ok, you're at General Hospital.

Sam: What do you mean? What's happening?

Elizabeth: You were hit. You were found in the middle of the road.

Sam: What do you mean, "hit"?

Elizabeth: By a car. It was a hit-and-run.

Elizabeth: Do you have any idea who did this to you?

Nikolas: Robin? I -- I'm sorry I missed the consultation earlier. I just had a bit of -- a bit of car trouble. I promise I'll be there later today, ok? I don't think I should drive again.

Emily: Yeah, I'm glad. Nikolas, I'm so worried about you.

Nikolas: Huh. Coming from you, that's almost funny.

Emily: Yeah. I love you.

Nikolas: I love you, too. I missed you last night.

Emily: I thought you needed to be alone.

Nikolas: Independent thought, independent action -- how is that even possible with a hallucination?

Emily: I don't know.

Nikolas: So I found my car -- what's left of it anyway -- the chop shop, lower southside. I still don't know where I left it, but the shop got busted. There was enough of my car there for someone to contact me, but it doesn't matter, I don't remember. It's probably good that I don't know what I did in a rage behind the wheel last night. I don't think I could stand feeling responsible for hurting anyone else.

Sam: What are you doing here? You don't care what happens to me. You're obviously not even on duty. Want Lucky -- oh, I want -- please get me Lucky. I want to talk to him.

Elizabeth: I'm going to get you a doctor.

Sam: No, I want Lucky!

Sonny: We need to get a lead on this guy, Moreau. I want to know what he's transporting, why he's so mysterious, and what his interests are in Port Charles. Are you here, or -- because -- what are you doing?

Jason: No, I'm here -- yeah, I'm here.

Sonny: But when you're looking down at the thing --

Jason: Ok, I get men looking for Moreau, I got men at the monastery where Lulu was held --there's nothing. It's like he doesn't exist.

Sonny: You know what? If you had a muzzle on Johnny Zacchara while I was gone and --and, you know, figured out what was -- what was on the1 boat besides Luke Spencer's daughter -- you know, every time I try to -- I have a chance to just knock him off, something gets in the way.

Jason: Maybe that should tell you something.

Sonny: What is it going to tell me? Are you trying to tell me something?

Jason: Sonny, I'm just saying maybe we should do nothing at this point and see what happens. You're too upset about Kate.

Sonny: I'm not upset about Kate. I'm just trying to -- you know, I'm getting back in business, I don't want to let things alone for a while. Are you busy or -- or what?

Jason: No.

Sonny: I went to visit Anthony Zacchara, and for a head on a stick, he still -- he's still present enough to know what's coming down. I want to know what it is because I don't want to be surprised.

Trevor: You got plenty of time to meet Sonny Corinthos.

Claudia: Could this room be any more dark and depressing? No wonder my father went crazy here.

Trevor: Claudia, you got to take my lead in things like this. Corinthos is a sociopath -- you get to meet him in the wrong time, at the wrong place, you end up dead.

Claudia: You know the biggest mistake you, Sonny Corinthos, or anyone can make? To think that I can be taken off-guard that easily. I can't. Jot this down on your to-do list, Trev. I want that red painting from the parlor brought in for the east wall, where it can get the west sun. I want someone to keep fresh flowers in here at all times. Get some drapes that didn't come from the mortuary, will you? Ahem. And most importantly, call that meeting with the five families, let them know that absenteeism will be cause for reprisal.

Trevor: Claudia -- Claudia? What do you want me to tell them about you?

Claudia: Nothing. It'll be a nice surprise.

Trevor: Not wise. That's being reckless.

Claudia: So are you by arguing with me.

Johnny: Looks like you got more than you bargained for.

Trevor: Ha-ha. Johnny, I'm a patient man. Your sister needs to be kept in line, and you're going to help me do it.

Jax: I wanted the car, Carly. I mean, I --

Carly: Look, we're really busy right now, ok -- the new hotel in Hawaii, we're working on the spa here -- oh, did I mention we're having a baby?

Jax: Yes, but what does that have to do with doing a rush job on the car?

Carly: Look, I just -- you know, I don't want the scratches to get rusty. It's no big deal, ok?

Jax: Look, Carly, I don't care if you totaled the car, as long as you and the baby are ok -- and you didn't mow anyone down in the crosswalk.

Carly: I just --

Jax: Ooh, that's nice. Green and gold, I like that.

Carly: You're so Australian.

Jax: What?

Carly: Look, I -- you know, I'm going to have lots of appointments, lots of things to do with the baby. You're just going to have to take me everywhere I go, ok?

Jax: I -- you're acting weird, ok?

Carly: Maybe I'm acting pregnant.

Jax: No. You're scared of something. You want to tell me what it is?

Luke: So, what are you doing down here, reliving the good times? We did have some fun running this joint, didn't we?

Tracy: I'm actually looking for a place to live. Monica may have thrown me out of the house and frozen my assets, but I still own this place.

Luke: It's funny how that happened, isn't it? It's almost like we knew that we would need this place someday.

Tracy: "We"?

Luke: I want to take you down into one of the staterooms, and live on love and free food from Kelly's, and just play like we're young and starting out -- roughing it.

Tracy: Oh -- I have roughed it with you, Luke, it's all I've ever done.

Luke: We could put together a nice living with each other, Tracy.

Tracy: Until when? Until I win the malpractice suit and you can ride the gravy train again? Luke, I helped you kidnap Laura, I let you live off of me.

Luke: And love you.

Tracy: Like that's an honor? Like it's even exclusive? Now, I know you're not going to tell me, but where did you go when you snuck out of the hospital -- after weeks of running me ragged while you tried to die?

Luke: Does it really matter? Would details hurt any less?

Luke: You see, that's what I'm talking about right now.

Tracy: I've missed you -- just not enough.

Carly: Yes, I'm scared. I'm afraid, and I don't want to be -- that's the thing.

Jax: Why don't you tell me? Is there something with the baby?

Carly: No, no. As far as I know, the baby's fine and I want to keep it that way, ok?

Jax: But?

Carly: It's something Jason told me.

Jax: Oh -- oh! Is it something to do with Sonny again?

Carly: No, no, it has nothing to do with Sonny.

Jax: When are we going to get some rest about this --

Carly: Stop! It has nothing to do with Sonny, ok, stop! Jason has reason to believe that the killer is still out there.

Logan: Someday I want to see you in a necklace of rubies.

Lulu: What?

Logan: I get laid up like this and I think back to the war, and sometimes the stuff you see when you're not in action -- it's just as tough to take. Everybody talks about the deaths of our men in Iraq, but nobody else thinks about the other people who suffered -- the women, especially. It's like they were in a constant state of mourning for their own lives, floating like shadows by mounds of bodies containing their dead husbands, children, brothers. I used to close my eyes at night and try to -- try to get rid of those images, but they were like scars I -- so anyway, I would -- uh -- instead, I would imagine the -- the girl that I would love one day that would get rid of those scars. I used to imagine her in a tall field of grass or wheat, her hair moving and blowing in the same direction across her face, always hiding it from me. But her eyes -- they were the same color, like an amber. And around her neck, a string of red -- red stones. I used to try so hard to see her face but I never could -- till I met you. I thought I would have to go through girl after girl to find her, but it was you.

Nikolas: Oh, god, I -- I know what you're about to say.

Emily: You would never hurt me.

Nikolas: If that's true, I didn't protect you, either. If someone else came in the ballroom that night, I -- I should've been able to stop them, I should've been able to keep you safe, keep you alive. I -- I keep trying to see someone there, Emily, but I -- I just can't.

Emily: Yeah, well, maybe there's a reason, Nikolas. Maybe it's someone so unexpected that --

Nikolas: Stop making excuses for me.

Emily: You know what I'd like to do, Nikolas? I'd like to try and make you laugh again.

Nikolas: Lesley said the same thing. Yeah, I went to see Spencer today, but I couldn't stay. You know why? Because he kept picking up on all the pain inside me.

Emily: Maybe we need to end the pain.

Nikolas: No. No, you know what that means.

Nadine: Ah, Nikolas.

Nikolas: Nadine, hello.

Nadine: Oh -- I interrupted you and Emily, didn't I?

Lucky: Sam?

Sam: I knew you'd come.

Nadine: We were really worried about you at the hospital last night.

Nikolas: It's what hospitals get paid to do, I guess.

Nadine: Oh, come on. I thought we were past this awkward stage.

Nikolas: Excuse me?

Emily: She means me.

Nadine: I mean, you talking to Emily all those times at the hospital -- how normal I thought it was?

Nikolas: Oh, right, because of your -- your grandmother?

Emily: Her aunt.

Nadine: My aunt Rayleen. I guess it's a big thing these days, actually -- "whisperers" I think they call them. Horses and dogs, ghosts --

Nikolas: Emily's not a ghost.

Nadine: Of course she isn't. She's an extension of you and the love you shared. Love's a lot stronger than most people realize. It bridges all kinds of distances.

Nikolas: How do you make it stay?

Nadine: I don't know. My aunt would probably -- wait, you can see Emily, can't you?

Lulu: We shouldn't do this.

Logan: I can't think of a reason why not.

Lulu: No, Logan, stop.

Logan: Come on, we want this. Come on.

Lulu: Logan -- Logan, I said no!

Trevor: She wants a meeting with the five families -- just like that. Well, you know, the last time we had a similar tete-a-tete, it turned into a disaster because of you. Now, if she walks in there like that --

Johnny: If she walks in there, she's going to leave the same wreckage behind her that I did, only she won't have to use a baseball bat.

Trevor: And that's a serious problem.

Johnny: That's your problem. You're the one that brought Claudia here to replace me as head of this family so you can continue to call the shots.

Trevor: No, Johnny, I brought her here to help you because you wouldn't listen. And if she makes the same mistake, she's going to end up getting hurt.

Johnny: That's not going to happen.

Trevor: Isn't this ironic -- that I want you to be the rational one and talk to her? But she's going to listen to you because she's got a soft spot.

Johnny: Yeah, well, it looks like she lost that, too, when she left. I mean, I remember gifts every once in a while for birthdays or Christmas till I was, what, 9, and then nothing -- oh, except for my father trying to shoot me and winding up killing my mother in the process. I don't know, maybe Claudia got out at the right time. I just wish she'd taken me with her.

Sonny: You want the day off? Because I need you to find out what you can about alcazar's old waterfront property.

Jason: Well, Skye's gone.

Sonny: Then you need to find her and make her an offer. I mean, you wasted alcazar for her, right? She owes us.

Jason: Why -- why do you keep holding that?

Sonny: It's nothing. It's just somebody I may -- I may need you to find.

Jason: "Somebody" not Kate?

Sonny: Not Kate.

Jason: I'd think the last thing 4you'd want is another woman right now.

Sonny: Where -- where did that come from?

[Phone rings]

Jason: Excuse me, I got to -- I got to take this. Hey.

Elizabeth: I need to see you.

Jason: Yeah, me, too.

Elizabeth: Can we meet at the house?

Jason: Yeah. On my way. I have to take care of something.

Sonny: Ok, first of all, we're not done.

Jason: All right, Sonny, I need to take care of this. I'll -- I'll be back.

Sonny: No, no, we're not done.

Jason: I'll be back.

Sonny: We're not done!

Sam: There is so much that I am sorry for, so much I would love to do over again.

Lucky: I'm in charge of your case. I intend to find out who did this to you, but I -- I need you to be honest with me.

Sam: "Honest"? So, what, you're already geared up not to believe me?

Lucky: I already have a suspect.
