From Megasite:

Robin: You pick the worst time to have meaningless arguments.

Patrick: So you being pregnant is suddenly meaningless?

Robin: When it comes to you, yes.

[Ian sighs]

Ian: Has anyone broken the news to the father yet?

Patrick: I was about to, but Dr. Scorpio's determined to do things on her own.

image

Kate: What do you mean, "work on things together"?

Sonny: What I mean is, you came here, you -- you distanced yourself from Manhattan, right? You -- you're determined to start over with me, and I don't know how to --

Kate: And you acted like a rejected schoolboy. It's somehow appealing on you. Especially when you smile.

Sonny: This whole thing is just -- well, it's taking me way off my game, you know? And I just want to ask you, do you -- do you still want anything to do with me after what I've done to you?

Kate: Why? What have you done to me?

image

Lulu: Hello? Johnny? Hello?

[Door opens]

Lulu: Hi. Uh -- is Johnny here?

Claudia: Who wants to know?

Lulu: I'm a friend of Johnny's.

Claudia: Hmm. I didn't know Johnny had any friends. Tell me, friend, aren't you afraid of what happens to little girls like you who play with big boys like Johnny Zacchara?

image

Maxie: Oh! Oh! Spinelli, something moved!

Spinelli: Arthropod or annelid?

Maxie: What? Who cares? It was hatched in the sewer with enough legs to be really disgusting.

Spinelli: Okay, private investigative rule number 26 -- sometimes when walking in the footsteps of the killer, the most brilliant clue can be found in the darkest of places.

image

Alexis: Sam, it's your mother. Will you do me a favor? Please call me. I'm very worried about you. I am not comfortable with you being out there alone. The killer's still out there. He came after you once, and I don't care if you think I'm a nag. Call me.

image

[Beeping]

Jason: Whew.

image

Elizabeth: Why did you kill Emily? She didn't do anything to you!

Diego: Oh, she was Jason's sister, and Jason needed to pay for what he did to my father. Agh!

[Tires screech]

Diego: Oh! Sit down! Shut up and sit down! Shut up! Sit down!

Elizabeth: Closed bridge!

[Elizabeth screams]

[Tires screech]

Diego: Oh!

[Glass shatters]

Sonny: Well, you know, the truth is, I can -- I can name a lot of things that I've done to you that sound pretty unforgivable. Why are you smiling about that?

Kate: It's the medication. You said the word "pretty" and it made me think of Celeste Tesoro.

Sonny: Ah --

Kate: Right? Well, she said that you were pretty. I said you were handsome. And we fought. It escalated. I flushed her rosary. She planted cigarettes in my locker.

[Kate chuckles]

Kate: And it went on and on for, like, three months.

Sonny: So you fought over me?

Kate: Well, it was easier than fighting with you.

Sonny: Right.

Kate: You were saying something about all the awful things you've done to me.

Sonny: Well, first of all, you -- you're in here because of me.

Kate: Sonny, you don't know that.

Sonny: Yes, I do know that. You want to -- you want to tell me about your not-so-nice encounter with Trevor the day you were shot?

Kate: He was inappropriate.

Sonny: Huh. Well, that's -- that's a permanent state of mind for Trevor. What did he want?

Kate: Me, I guess.

Sonny: Did he know where you were headed next?

Kate: Yeah, but I --

Sonny: What was the last thing he said to you?

Kate: He said, "You'll live to regret it." Sonny, I don't think that he would shoot me. The bullet at -- at Metro Court was an accident. And yeah, he'd take advantage of an accidental bullet, but I don't think he'd out and out kill me.

Sonny: Trevor is desperate. He's making inroads. He wants aces to hold.

Kate: I liked the conversation better when we were talking about you being pretty.

Sonny: Even if it wasn't Trevor, it had to be somebody in the Zacchara organization who did it, and a lot more. But it's okay, because -- ahem -- I'm holding aces of my own.

image

Milo: Keep it down. You're going to wake up the bears. They should be getting hungry right about now.

Johnny: Sonny's making a big mistake. I don't know a damn thing about who took his kid or Kate Howard.

Milo: Well, when you get some inspiration, let me know.

image

Lulu: Johnny and I had a date and he didn't show.

Claudia: So? What, are you two joined at the hip now?

Lulu: Huh -- well, it's not like Johnny to stand me up. I mean -- well, it is, but not this time. It was different.

Claudia: Because you had sex? Don't get nervous. I read people. That's what I do. For instance, I read that you wouldn't even be here unless you had a lot of guts.

Man: I'm sorry, Ms. Zacchara. She got by me.

Claudia: Oh, that's okay. Let's see how you get by without your last paycheck. Get out.

Lulu: Um -- I didn't want to cause any trouble. I just wanted to talk to Johnny.

Claudia: Hmm. Well, if you don't want trouble, you're in the wrong house, cutie.

Lulu: Who are you?

Claudia: Johnny didn't mention me?

Lulu: No.

Claudia: He didn't? Oh, that's okay. I mean, he didn't actually mention you, either -- not directly. He's hiding me. Yeah, I think he's afraid I might scare you off.

Lulu: Well, I don't scare easily after being stalked by Johnny's father at a ball, and when he tried to strangle me, so --

Claudia: You're the one he tried to kill? Well, then you should count yourself special. Daddy doesn't feel threatened by just anyone.

Lulu: "Daddy"?

Claudia: Mm-hmm. I'm Claudia, Johnny's half sister. Charmed, I'm sure. And you -- you're the reason that my father is in a maximum-security asylum, paralyzed from the neck down. You and Jason Morgan.

[Beeping stops]

[Beep]

Diego's voice: You've just made it harder on yourself!

[Sam coughs]

Sam's voice: Wait a -- what are you going to do?

Diego's voice: I'm going to make sure you end up just like my father!

[Turns phone off]

Ian: Is she always like this?

Patrick: If you mean strong, dedicated, stubborn, and compassionate, yes.

Ian: Actually, I was referring to the snotty, standoffish part.

Patrick: I give her some allowances.

Ian: Why, because of the baby?

Patrick: Because of the baby's father.

image

Robin: It was all -- very sudden. We're not even sure if Angie had the right type of care during her pregnancy that this would've turned out differently.

Joe: So -- so everything I did that day in the E.R. -- the fake bomb and terrorizing everyone? That was -- it was all for nothing?

Robin: No, I wouldn't say that. Would you like to see her?

Joe: Yes, yes.

Robin: Okay. Come with me.

Russell: Now, that's Joe Smith. Don't you let him out of your sight.

Patrick: Wait a second -- what is that for?

Russell: The last time that man was here, he threatened innocent lives, right?

Patrick: It was a fake bomb for a very real reason. He was a desperate father with a pregnant wife and you turned him away.

Russell: No, he was a danger to the patients in this hospital and now, thanks to you, he's out on bail.

Ian: The only danger to the patients in this hospital is the way you run it.

Russell: Excuse me?

Ian: No, there is no excuse. This case shouldn't have ended up in death.

Russell: And you could of course run this hospital more efficiently?

Ian: Well, at least a little bit more compassionately, maybe from a healing perspective.

Russell: Healing? I haven't forgotten what I've learned in med school.

Ian: Well, maybe you've just forgotten how to be human.

Alexis: I'm sure you have a very entertaining explanation as to why you're sitting at my desk in the dark.

Jerry: Yes, I do. The door --

Alexis: Don't tell me that I left the door open again.

Jerry: Was open. How's Kristina?

Alexis: Kristi-- stop bringing Kristina into this and using it to deflect.

Jerry: I was genuinely concerned about you and your daughters. I mean, I was shocked to hear that Ric left town again after what happened. I mean, what could possibly be more important --

Alexis: You cannot just walk in here like it's the corner by -- this is my office. I'm the district attorney. This is the highest legal authority in this --

Jerry: Yes, and I can only imagine how frustrated you must be feeling about not bringing this man to justice -- you see, the killer with the catchy moniker who nearly killed Sam and scared Kristina into a state of semicatatonia?

[Phone rings]

Alexis: Alexis Davis. Yes, hello, Mayor -- what can I do for you? No -- nothing new on the T.M.K. I -- I'm doing everything that I can -- yes, I do understand that -- that it's an election year and I also understand that you're down in the polls, which is why you're interested in this case. How about you let me do my job instead of trying to come up with catchy campaign slogans for you? Good, then.

Jerry: The man's an idiot.

Alexis: You're all idiots. I'm worried about Sam. I have a bad feeling.

Jerry: Well, I can check up on her if -- a little easier.

Alexis: Wait a second. What is that?

Jerry: Oh, that? Um -- I had a -- an accident.

Alexis: You've been shot.

image

Maxie: Okay, so is there any reason we're just hanging around down here?

Spinelli: The Jackal has intuited why the clean-cut cadet found this place of such import. We are standing -- we are standing in drain channel 17 of the city of Port Charles department of waterworks, okay? This portion of pipe that we are standing in leads back to a connection, an intersection of connecting pipes and -- and channels basically dissecting the whole urban world above.

Maxie: So?

Spinelli: So -- from this starting point, the killer could go from point A to point B through P completely undetected and underground.

Maxie: So what you're saying is we're dealing with some kind of mole man?

Spinelli: Some sort of clever man, someone that is intent on remaining hidden and couldn't just blend in with the crowd.

Maxie: I'm sorry -- maybe it's the smell, but you're not really making that much sense.

Spinelli: Okay. The -- the text message killer does not want to be seen, period.

Maxie: Like who?

Spinelli: Well, maybe we could find a clue to that if we could get beyond this grate.

Maxie: Something Coop didn't do or couldn't have the chance to.

Spinelli: Or maybe -- and the killer knew that or maybe even saw him through the barrier. It looks like it leads to a single tunnel.

Maxie: To where?

Spinelli: Well, according to the D.W.P. map that I jackaled, straight under the abandoned waterfront property of Lorenzo Alcazar.

image

Jason: I -- I can't believe this. It looks like Diego Alcazar is the killer.

Max: But he was shot and he died.

Jason: Apparently not. His voice is on this phone -- he's got Sam.

Max: All I saw was Elizabeth and a duffel bag.

Jason: He said, "I'm going to see that you end up just like my father." What does -- what does that mean? "I'm going to see you end up just like my --" he's taking her to Hangman's Bridge. That's where I dumped Alcazar's body.

image

Alexis: Who shot you and why -- and I'm not asking you as a friend.

Jerry: Oh -- that not only hurts, I think it'd make a wound far deeper than this flesh wound.

Alexis: Who?

Jerry: Well, any, you know, in a long list of people with an equally long list of grievances.

Alexis: You know what? I'm not buying for one minute that you don't know who did this to you.

Jerry: Well, you know, "stuff happens," as your current president would say. I mean, your nephew stabbed me in a fit of rage without even remembering it.

Alexis: My nephew didn't do it.

Jerry: Well, the last time I heard, he had a tumor the size of a golf ball without getting close to curing it, so why are you so sure?

Alexis: You come into my office; you sit here in the dark. You didn't come in for legal advice, you certainly didn't seek medical attention, so my guess is that whatever happened to you happened nearby, and you came in here to hide out.

Jerry: Wow, you're good. You should be on a cop show.

Alexis: Yeah, I'm Nancy Drew -- years of dealing with felonious minds.

Jerry: Then I won't bore you with my little tale of woe.

Alexis: Okay. So maybe you want to tell it to the police.

Jerry: I'm in a race of some sort.

Alexis: Really? What kind of race?

Jerry: I'm trying to get to the finish line before some other people, some very determined people who would go to great lengths to see that I don't.

Alexis: The same people who are after the same thing that you are, who will do anything to get that? The Sonnys, the Jasons, the other five families who all want this same valuable thing? What is it? Here's what I think. I think you came into this office to check my messages because you have a vested interest in where Ric is. Very concerned that he left town, so you came in here to see if you could find him, if you could contact him, because what you want is the waterfront property just like everybody else. Isn't that right?

Jerry: Do you know where Ric is?

Alexis: Do you think that I would tell you if I did?

Jerry: Only if you want Kristina to grow up knowing her father.

Alexis: Don't you dare use my daughter to scare the hell out of me anymore!

Jerry: No, this is the harsh reality -- think, Alexis! Do you think others will be as generous when they negotiate with him?

Alexis: I will have Ric contact the authorities.

Jerry: Oh, you don't want me to be locked up; you don't want me out of the picture. Not now, trust me.

Alexis: Trust you?

Jerry: Yes, alliances are being made, forces are converging. There will be a battle that is fought and it will be soon, and I am the only one person in the world who is invested in this, who has a vested interest in keeping Ric alive and well, believe me.

Alexis: So you want me to believe that you're doing this for my benefit?

image

Lulu: The only thing that happened at the ball was a lot of people trying to defend themselves.

Claudia: Mm-hmm. And what was my brother doing?

Lulu: He was trying to protect me. He didn't care what happened to himself. He did whatever he could, right down to --

Claudia: Right down to killing his own father if he had to to save you?

Lulu: We tried to stay apart, but it's not going to happen.

Claudia: So these feelings are mutual?

Lulu: I think so.

Claudia: Do you hope so?

Lulu: Uh -- I like Johnny a lot.

Claudia: Good. Because I'm going to give you an opportunity to prove it.

image

Sonny: So, um, you still haven't answered my question. You want me to keep hanging around or not?

Kate: Well, a respectable girl would play hard to get. I think I've pretty much exhausted all the charm in that notion.

Sonny: Well, you know, Easter's coming up and you'll be out of here by then, and I figure I -- I need to straighten a few things out, right? And I'm thinking maybe I'll buy you a -- a nice, big, yellow hat.

Kate: Oh, okay. I see. You think I'm going to say no, right, because I'll refuse to make myself look ridiculous? Oh, I'll see your dare, and I'll raise it.

image

Jason: Get back to Spinelli; keep him working on Michael's disappearance and Kate's shooting.

Max: Well, the boss thinks he's got that under wraps.

Jason: Yeah, I don't.

Max: What about Nikolas and the nurse?

Nikolas: What about us?
