Max: Hey. I just got word that the Zacchara organization called a meeting of the five families.

Sonny: I had -- I had a run-in with Johnny here last night. He's probably gearing up to pull something.

Max: Yeah, well, it wasn't Johnny who called the meeting.

Sonny: Then who did?

Trevor: Claudia, don't disappear on me like your brother, Johnny. We need a strategy for the meeting with the five families. So where are you?

Claudia: I'm already in Port Charles. I thought I'd come in early and get the lay of the land. You never know who you might meet.

Carly: Hi.

Johnny: That piece was inspired by a French poem. It describes a woman's soul as a landscape of moonlight and music.

Lulu: Hmm. I don't know why I came here.

Johnny: I do.

Logan: Look, I don't have time to waste doing this.

Scott: Now, listen to me. We got to get you checked out. You know, that cracked rib -- we got to make sure it doesn't go into your lung or something.

Logan: Listen to me, I don't care, ok? Lulu -- ah -- Lulu's the one who's really hurting here. I'm such a fool. Who else knew her father raped her mother?

Scott: Well, actually, a lot of people knew that.

Logan: Yeah, except for me. Oh. I never would've come on so strong if I had known that.

Scott: Well, you know what? It's too late for that there, Casanova, ok? So let's just get you checked out, then I've got to go check on Alexis. Her daughter Sam was hit and left for dead -- it's a wonder she's still alive.

Sam: Why won't you tell me who you think hit me?

Lucky: I have no proof. Just like there's no proof that this text-message killer -- who's supposed to be dead -- is the one who chased you in the road when you got hit.

Sam: That's great -- meaning you don't believe me.

Lucky: Meaning if there's proof leading to the person or persons who put you in the hospital, I'll find it.

Sam: Oh, why, because it's your job, and only because it's your job? I guess there's nothing personal, huh? There's -- there's nothing personal left between us at all?

Jason: You don't know that you hit her.

Elizabeth: I checked myself out of the hospital against my doctor's advice. I fell asleep at the wheel on the way up here. I was jolted awake by what I thought was hitting the shoulder of the road. What if I hit Sam? There is so much animosity between the two of us, no one would ever believe it was an accident.

Elizabeth: A judge would think I had plenty of motives. All of Sam's lies and manipulations would come out -- how she watched Jake get kidnapped and did nothing, how she hired thugs to attack me.

Jason: Ok, you're getting -- you' getting ahead of yourself.

Elizabeth: I mean, everybody at Wyndemere knows that we got in a fight. It would seem awfully convenient if I just fell asleep at the wheel and -- and just forgot about hitting her.

Jason: Well, you don't remember.

Elizabeth: It's going to seem like I don't care whether she lives or dies. I need to say something before it looks worse than it is.

Jason: No.

Elizabeth: What? Jason, please don't tell me you want to try to cover this up because if I did this, I can't live with myself if I don't say anything.

Jason: Before you come forward, we need to be absolutely positive that you did it. You -- you weren't the only person on the road that night.

Lucky: This really isn't the time to get into what happened between us.

Sam: Which part exactly? The part where we were actually really happy together and were getting really close, or the part where you found out all of the awful things I did and threwme out of your house?I don't want you on this case out of guilt.

Lucky: I was the reason that you were wandering alone and upset that night.

Sam: No, Lucky, I was! I did all of those awful things and I take full responsibility for everything that I have done. And the person who almost suffered the worst here was Jake. And to think -- to think that I could've done all of those awful things that I did to an innocent child because I was so consumed with hate for his parents. I had kind of a breakdown, you know, mentally and morally, and I -- I felt abandoned and so betrayed. But you changed that for me. And if I -- if I knew that we had the slightest chance of working things out, that you would actually find it in yourself to believe in me -

Lucky: I got to get on this.

Sam: My phone is down by the docks. Go find it, please. Maybe it'll prove to you that I'm actually telling the truth.

Lucky: Oh, about that? Anyway, you know what?

Sam: Oh, my -- I cannot believe I have made you so bitter.

Lucky: It's not like it's a new emotion for me. Just do yourself and everyone else a favor and let me handle this text-message killer angle my way? Don't tell anybody any more information until we have more to go on.

Sam: Oh --

Lucky: I'll be back.

[Marianna laughs]

Marianna: Oh, ha!

[Marianna squeals]

Ric: Cut --

[Marianna chuckles]

Ric: At least let me see it.

Marianna: Nope.

Ric: Come on.

Marianna: You are not allowed to make fun of me anymore.

Ric: I'm not making fun of you. You know I wasn't, really. I'm just -- I've never seen anybody so excited to find a seashell before.

Marianna: That's all you see, isn't it? It's funny how we -- we just find it so interesting now that it's dead. It's so fragile and beautiful. Look -- each one has an etching of a flower across it. See?

Ric: Mm-hmm, it's beautiful.

Marianna: Hear it rattle?

[Seashell rattles]

Ric: I thought I was only supposed to hear the oceans.

[Marianna laughs]

Marianna: Do you know how hard it is to find one of these this time of year that hasn't been broken by a storm or stepped on by careless people? Huh? There's, like, little fragments inside, they're like little doves. My mom used to say they should be released because there's no sensible reason why god created beauty for beauty's sake. That it was what was inside that counted, and if it stayed all shut up inside and guarded, it was a waste -- even if it had to be broken once for it to fly free.

Ric: Your mother was a very wise woman.

Marianna: Yeah.

Ric: You know, people are like that, too -- you know, people like -- well, like yourself.

Marianna: Huh.

Ric: A beautiful woman like you?

Marianna: I think I liked better when you were making fun of me.

Ric: I said I wasn't.

Marianna: Yeah, you say a lot of things.

[Marianna sighs]

Marianna: Why should I believe you?

Ric: Why are you suddenly doubting me?

Max: Word on the street is Johnny Zacchara may not be at this meeting -- you know, after he went crazy at the last one.

Sonny: Well, it's probably Trevor who called the meeting using the Zacchara name. I imagine that there's, you know, a lot of talks about Alcazar's pier. Um -- they're definitely a gold mine and we can't let anybody in the Zacchara organization get their hands on it. But you know what? They haven't had any success getting their hands on it anyway so they're probably going to use a stall tactic, a diversion -- maybe even an ambush, like the Metro Court.

Max: Well, it's at the same place as it was the last time. It's in the backroom of that sports bar over on Water Street -- out by the packing plants, back room?

Sonny: Ok, I want you to get as many men as you can, check every inch of the bar, the exits, the people working the joint. I want a guard posted in the alleys, in the buildings around the block. I want to know exactly what I'm dealing with before I sit down to that meeting.

Claudia: Trevor, why don't you have a drink a calm yourself down?

Trevor: Because I'm not going to go to any meeting without a plan of attack.

Claudia: Wait, who said I'm attacking anyone? This is more of just a getting-to-know-you session.

Trevor: Where do you think you are, in Milan? This is not a wine and a cheese tasting with your dopey uncle and his merry money launderers. We're going to have a meeting with the five families. They are hitters, heavy ones -- including Corinthos -- who might want you dead on sight.

Claudia: I'd really love to know what this ugly history is between you and Sonny Corinthos -- it colors every word you say about him. It's fascinating.

Trevor: We have to have an agenda.

Claudia: You go in there with your big plan and something goes wrong and you've got nothing. We do this my way, all you have to focus on tonight is making an introduction. I'll wing the rest.

Trevor: "Wing it"? You're not going to be this reckless on purpose, are you?

Claudia: Watch me.

Carly: I can't find my purse. I had to have left it at home.

Jax: Well, that's because you have other things on your mind -- like being pregnant.

Carly: Ok, shush! It's supposed to be our secret, we're not supposed to tell anyone.

Jax: Oh, secret.

Carly: I'm really happy that Dr. Lee canceled my appointment because hanging out with you is so much more fun.

Jax: What?

Carly: Or it was.

Jax: I want to go say hi.

Carly: You want to go say hi?

Jax: Yes.

Carly: I want her to go eat at a fast-food joint.

Jax: Be a nice little mommy-to-be now.

Carly: Fine, you go say hi. I'm going to go to the bar and not have a drink.

Jax: That's good.

Carly: Oh! I'm so sorry.

Carly: Thank you. You look familiar.

Claudia: I get that a lot.

Carly: I don't think I've seen you here before -- I mean, I know most of the regulars. I'm Carly.

Claudia: Oh.

Carly: I'm one of the owners.

Claudia: Claudia.

Carly: Hi.

Claudia: Hi -- very impressive hotel you have here.

Carly: Thank you.

Claudia: You must be a very savvy businesswoman.

Carly: Well, I didn't start out that way.

Claudia: Me, too.

Carly: So, are you in town on business?

Claudia: Yeah, family business, but if I like what I see, I might stick around for a while. I've pretty much done Europe.

Carly: You've done the shopping.

[Carly laughs]

Claudia: Via Della Spiga, Milan? I swear, I'd pretty much go naked as long as I could wear myshoes -- as long as they were red.

Carly: Living well is the best revenge.

Claudia: Not always.

Carly: Hmm.

Claudia: I take it they're regulars?

Carly: He's my husband. She's just sad.

Claudia: I -- I did feel like I recognized her.

Carly: Hmm.

Jax: You know, I still can't get past the fact that you lived a life as a whole other person.

Kate: Well, not anymore. Connie is my past and it has to stay that way -- no matter how much Sonny wanted to love her.

Jax: Mm-hmm. But you're still in love with Sonny, otherwise you would've gone back to New York and "Couture" magazine.

Kate: Ooh -- we still need to meet to discuss my new magazine.

Jax: Oh, is that why you wanted my help? Is that why you to me about your humble beginnings?

Kate: In a way. What I really want is for you to help me get Sonny back.

Michael: Uh, Mercedes? Please do not let my brother in my room anymore?Thank you.

Michael: Here it is.

Michael: There.

Spinelli: I've jackaled several hospital records and there's no evidence that indicates that the clean-cut cadet's room was -- was being medicated.

Maxie: Would you stop calling him that? His name was Coop.

Spinelli: His name was also "Three" according to his part in the metro court crisis with the unhinged one.

Maxie: Ok, are you going to help me or not?

Spinelli: My mission is to find generous Georgie's real killer.

Maxie: Good. Then keep hackaling -- or do whatever it is that you do.

Spinelli: Ok, so just to review, if cadet Cooper Barrett was not the text-message killer -

Maxie: Which he was not.

Spinelli: Ok, ok, ok. Then we have to go by our list of amassed clues. Ok, so, one Valentine's Day gift which proves nothing, uh -- boot prints in the snow, and an incriminating D.N.A. test which actually does the opposite. It makes Coop look guilty of generous Georgie's murder as well as many others, as does his unfortunate method of self-demise.

Maxie: Ok, can we just get to the stuff that we do have, like Logan's dog tags being in Coop's room for no reason whatsoever?

Spinelli: Ok, a suspicious pill in an unmarked prescription bottle.

Maxie: I'll take that to Robin.

Spinelli: Ok, a list of victims which seemingly have nothing in common.

Maxie: And that really weird smell that I keep forgetting, the sweet smell I noticed when the killer attacked me.

Spinelli: I believe a field trip is in order. Rule number 43 in my online private eye course --

Maxie: What?

Spinelli: Clues in the field. We will visit purveyors of soaps, candy, laundry products, men's hygiene goods --

Maxie: Are you nuts? Spinelli, do you know how long that would take?

Mac: Uh -- is this a bad time?

Maxie: Mac. No. Um -- did you get any evidence that clears Coop?

Mac: Maxie, we're not looking for any. The case is closed -- that's why I'm here. Listen, Coop's remains need to be released to someone. You know if he had any family, anyone else he knew?

Patrick: Sam's stabilizing. More importantly, she needs some rest.

Alexis: What about her hip? She's been complaining about her hip.

Patrick: She's going to need some physical therapy but she'll heal.

Alexis: She still hasn't told me everything that happened that night.

Patrick: Alexis, she's in pain, she's groggy. It might not be the best thing for you to be sitting bedside. She might feel pressured to stay alert and remember things. There's time.

Alexis: Listen, every second the person that did this to her is out there is a crime.

Scott: You know, I couldn't agree more.

Patrick: I'll check with you later.

Scott: So, listen, you've been through a lot. You should be with your daughter, perhaps I should step in now as D.A.

Alexis: No, no. Ric's gone, I'm the D.A. -- Deal with it.

Scott: Logan, how you doing?

Logan: Like I said, a sports bandage and some ice, I'll be all right.

Scott: Well, then why did you come in here by yourself?

Logan: No job, no insurance.

Scott: I know -- I covered it.

Logan: Yeah, can you cover Lulu's pain? She's the one who's really hurting.

Scott: Officer Spencer. How's Sam doing?

Lucky: She's in rough shape.

Scott: Well, did she give you anything that might help you catch the culprit?

Lucky: She said she doesn't remember anything, that she claims that somebody was after her and she ran into the road.

Scott: Well, is there any I.D. there?

Lucky: No, he wore a mask. But according to Sam, she whacked him in the rib pretty good so he could be hurt -- something to go on.

Lulu: Ok. I guess I do know why I came here. I just didn't want to make you feel funny about it.

Johnny: But you do make me feel funny -- in a good way, in a way that no one else does.

Lulu: Me, too.

Johnny: So, now we're both back here.

Lulu: And we both admitted why.

Johnny: Now what?

Johnny: Nothing I've done to you is fair.

Lulu: You haven't done anything to me.

Johnny: Things have happened to you because of me and I'd give anything to change that.

Lulu: They happened.

Johnny: I wasn't talking about the past, I meant the future.

Robin: Epiphany, the new meds rotation needs to be implemented on your caseload.

Epiphany: I took care of that yesterday.

Robin: Well, not according to my schedule, the patients, or the case nurses.

Epiphany: I'll -- I'll take care of it.

Robin: Are you ok?

Epiphany: That's -- I said I'll take care of it.

Maxie: Robin -- hey.

Robin: Hey.

Maxie: Oh, nice hair.

Robin: Thanks.

Maxie: Um, do you have a second?

Robin: Actually, I have to do something. Just hang here, I'll be right back.

Maxie: Oh, all right.

Jerry: I imagine you're here to see your friend Sam.

Maxie: What happened to Sam?

Jerry: What, you don't know? She was the victim of a hit-and-run.

Maxie: Oh, my god, that's terrible. What room is she in? Where is she?

Jerry: Well, I'd be happy to escort you -- besides, we need to have a little talk about your boyfriend.

Logan: Spinelli, I don't need the babble. Yes or no -- have you seen Lulu in here?

Spinelli: No.

Logan: Ok, would you tell me if you had?

Spinelli: See, that would require a brief declarative statement on your shortcomings. Should I proceed? Ok.

Jason: No, no, no, no, stop.

Spinelli: What?

Jason: I need -- I need some information.

Spinelli: Is the jackal back in stone cold's good favor? Um -- ok, what would be the topic of my research?

Jason: Ok, let's go accident reports, stolen cars, sudden repairs.

Boy: Yo, no refunds, Corinthos.

Michael: What?

Boy: Yeah, man. I mean, you bought the gun, it's yours. You can't wuss out and get your cash back.

Michael: I don't want it back. I want to buy the bullets.

Claudia: Hmm -- Kate Howard from "Couture" magazine?

Carly: Yep. The one and only.

Claudia: Hmm. I've seen the international version -- it's a runway rag in any language.

Carly: Clothes that a real woman would never wear.

Claudia: Or a real man would ever want to see a woman in.

Carly: I think we have similar interests.

Claudia: As long as it's not in men, we'll get along fine.

Sonny: Can I get a table in -

Max: Hey. I just got word that the Zacchara organization called a meeting of the five families.

Sonny: I had -- I had a run-in with Johnny here last night. He's probably gearing up to pull something.

Max: Yeah, well, it wasn't Johnny who called the meeting.

Spinelli: Ok, a list of victims which seemingly have nothing in common.

Maxie: And that really weird smell that I keep forgetting, the sweet smell I noticed when the killer attacked me.

Spinelli: I believe a field trip is in order. Rule number 43 in my online private eye course --

Maxie: What?

Spinelli: Clues in the field. We will visit purveyors of soaps, candy, laundry products, men's hygiene goods --

Maxie: Are you nuts? Spinelli, do you know how long that would take?

Mac: Uh -- is this a bad time?

Maxie: Mac. No. Um -- did you get any evidence that clears Coop?

Mac: Maxie, we're not looking for any. The case is closed -- that's why I'm here. Listen, Coop's remains need to be released to someone. You know if he had any family, anyone else he knew?

Patrick: Sam's stabilizing. More importantly, she needs some rest.

Alexis: What about her hip? She's been complaining about her hip.

Patrick: She's going to need some physical therapy but she'll heal.

Alexis: She still hasn't told me everything that happened that night.

Patrick: Alexis, she's in pain, she's groggy. It might not be the best thing for you to be sitting bedside. She might feel pressured to stay alert and remember things. There's time.

Alexis: Listen, every second the person that did this to her is out there is a crime.

Scott: You know, I couldn't agree more.

Patrick: I'll check with you later.

Scott: So, listen, you've been through a lot. You should be with your daughter, perhaps I should step in now as D.A.

Alexis: No, no. Ric's gone, I'm the D.A. -- Deal with it.

Scott: Logan, how you doing?

Logan: Like I said, a sports bandage and some ice, I'll be all right.

Scott: Well, then why did you come in here by yourself?

Logan: No job, no insurance.

Scott: I know -- I covered it.

Logan: Yeah, can you cover Lulu's pain? She's the one who's really hurting.

Scott: Officer Spencer. How's Sam doing?

Lucky: She's in rough shape.

Scott: Well, did she give you anything that might help you catch the culprit?

Lucky: She said she doesn't remember anything, that she claims that somebody was after her and she ran into the road.

Scott: Well, is there any I.D. there?

Lucky: No, he wore a mask. But according to Sam, she whacked him in the rib pretty good so he could be hurt -- something to go on.

Lulu: Ok. I guess I do know why I came here. I just didn't want to make you feel funny about it.

Johnny: But you do make me feel funny -- in a good way, in a way that no one else does.

Lulu: Me, too.

Johnny: So, now we're both back here.

Lulu: And we both admitted why.

Johnny: Now what?

Johnny: Nothing I've done to you is fair.

Lulu: You haven't done anything to me.

Johnny: Things have happened to you because of me and I'd give anything to change that.

Lulu: They happened.

Johnny: I wasn't talking about the past, I meant the future.

Robin: Epiphany, the new meds rotation needs to be implemented on your caseload.

Epiphany: I took care of that yesterday.

Robin: Well, not according to my schedule, the patients, or the case nurses.

Epiphany: I'll -- I'll take care of it.

Robin: Are you ok?

Epiphany: That's -- I said I'll take care of it.

Maxie: Robin -- hey.

Robin: Hey.

Maxie: Oh, nice hair.

Robin: Thanks.

Maxie: Um, do you have a second?

Robin: Actually, I have to do something. Just hang here, I'll be right back.

Maxie: Oh, all right.

Jerry: I imagine you're here to see your friend Sam.

Maxie: What happened to Sam?

Jerry: What, you don't know? She was the victim of a hit-and-run.

Maxie: Oh, my god, that's terrible. What room is she in? Where is she?

Jerry: Well, I'd be happy to escort you -- besides, we need to have a little talk about your boyfriend.

Logan: Spinelli, I don't need the babble. Yes or no -- have you seen Lulu in here?

Spinelli: No.

Logan: Ok, would you tell me if you had?

Spinelli: See, that would require a brief declarative statement on your shortcomings. Should I proceed? Ok.

Jason: No, no, no, no, stop.

Spinelli: What?

Jason: I need -- I need some information.

Spinelli: Is the jackal back in stone cold's good favor? Um -- ok, what would be the topic of my research?

Jason: Ok, let's go accident reports, stolen cars, sudden repairs.

Boy: Yo, no refunds, Corinthos.

Michael: What?

Boy: Yeah, man. I mean, you bought the gun, it's yours. You can't wuss out and get your cash back.

Michael: I don't want it back. I want to buy the bullets.

Claudia: Hmm -- Kate Howard from "Couture" magazine?

Carly: Yep. The one and only.

Claudia: Hmm. I've seen the international version -- it's a runway rag in any language.

Carly: Clothes that a real woman would never wear.

Claudia: Or a real man would ever want to see a woman in.

Carly: I think we have similar interests.

Claudia: As long as it's not in men, we'll get along fine.

Sonny: Can I get a table in -
