Sonny: Maybe Claudia thought sleeping with me was a way to protect her brother, maybe she had her own agenda -- I don't know -- because you were shocked. And when I saw you lying there bleeding to death, the only thing that mattered to me was that I love you. So Claudia probably came here because I hurt her brother. She wanted to come here to get back at me and hurt you.
Kate: I'm sorry to say she got what she came for.
Sonny: Why would you say --
Kate: Sonny. There is a part of you that is dangerous -- brutal, even. And Claudia Zacchara brings that to the surface. And that part of you is attracted to her.
Sonny: You know sometimes I want to -- burn my life down, destroy everything that's good. But I don't want to be that man. Because I have three beautiful children, a legitimate business to run, and now I have you to give me some hope. Why would I throw all that away for a whore like Claudia Zacchara?
Kate: Well, when you put it that way --
Sonny: I love you. And I'm gonna do what I can to make life safer. Can you trust me on that?
Kate: You bet your ass.
Marianna: I tried to tell you so many times.
Ric: I -- I didn't want to believe it. I wanted to believe that you were my fresh start, you know, my chance to reinvent myself into somebody who was kind and compassionate.
Marianna: You are all those things.
Ric: I was trying them on, Marianna. Like shopping for new clothes, you know? What does it feel like to take a complete leap of faith? What does it feel like to be in the moment? To let go of the past because, you know, I can't let go of the past, especially with a bastard of a father like mine.
Marianna: I didn't want to lie to you. I had no choice.
Ric: You know how many times I've said that, those same words? Marianna, it's the all-purpose excuse. It's good for every occasion. The only problem is that you do have a choice, and you made that choice every time you did what Trevor said, every time you let me believe that we met completely by chance. Even last night you could have told me. You could have told me that you were working for my father, and then there would be something to save.
Marianna: I didn't want you to hate me. I didn't want to lose you.
Ric: Listen, listen. I don't blame you. You did what you had to do in order to save yourself. I understand that. But I would never be able to trust it, that it was real.
Marianna: It is.
Ric: This is 20% of what my father paid me for the piers, ok? That should be adequate compensation for all the emotional distress and anything else.
Marianna: I don't want your money.
Ric: Just take it. It's better for both of us.
Marianna: I care for you.
Ric: No, I -- I --
Marianna: Listen, no --
Ric: Listen, I would rather --
Marianna: Please believe that we can start over, we can have a chance.
Ric: I would rather take out my disappointment on the person who deserves it. Ripping up the check was a nice gesture, though. I'll messenger another one to you over at Kelly's.
Marianna: I'm not going to be there. I'm gonna go back to the vineyard. You know where to find me when you change your mind.
Ric: I think it would be best if we just never saw each other again.
Marianna: Oh, god. If you hate your father for this and you try and take revenge on him, he'll have won.
Lulu: I have some chips, some cheddar rounds, vanilla wafers, and some DVDs in case you just want to veg out in front of the television.
Carly: Oh, thanks. I'm a little too wired for that, you know? I'd rather you help me pick out a color to paint the room upstairs. I've got to get that horrible green off the walls. Won't be using it for a nursery anytime soon, so I --
Lulu: Wait -- why not a nursery? Are you and Jax -- are you giving up on trying to have a baby?
Carly: No, I think he wants to wait awhile, yeah. The second miscarriage he's gone though, and everyone always concentrates on the female. The woman, the mother. And you know, it's kind of hard for the guys, too, and Jax is having a hard time.
Lulu: What about you?
Carly: You know, I wasn't very far along, couldn't feel the baby move or anything, but I'm sad. I'm really sad.
Spinelli: Greetings --
[Door slams]
Spinelli The brusque lady of justice just called and left a message that your mother elected to acknowledge her complicity in fair Samantha's unfortunate accident.
Jason: Monica confessed?
Spinelli: The Jackal stands in awe of his master's gift for brevity. Are your injuries still causing you distress?
Jason: No, I'm fine.
Spinelli: Because we're fully stocked of restorative nutrients. We have green leafy vegetables, fresh fruit, a special juice blend that includes a rare Brazilian berry.
Jason: I'm not hungry. I just went to see Carly. She lost her baby.
Spinelli: That is most distressing.
Jason: I should have warned her that Michael wanted a gun. I handled that wrong. Been doing a lot of that lately.
Spinelli: Come on, perhaps you were a bit distracted by your efforts to prove that fair Elizabeth had not in fact run down --
Jason: I've been lying non-stop ever since I found out I was Jake's father. And no matter how I try to justify it, people keep getting hurt.
Elizabeth: Has there been any change in Nikolas' prognosis?
Robin: Not that I'm aware of.
Elizabeth: Well, then do you basically just accuse a family of ignoring that fact that he's dying? Which isn't true, but -- I don't know, maybe we are in denial?
Robin: Patrick, when was the last time you examined Nikolas?
Patrick: Right before he jumped off the O.R. table.
Robin: So his condition should be deteriorating, right?
Patrick: I would have thought so, yeah.
Elizabeth: But he's stabilized. He might even be getting better, right?
Patrick: There's a chance Nikolas could be in remission.
Nikolas: I'm sorry, I don't recall giving any of you permission to discuss my case in public.
Elizabeth: That's not what we're doing.
Patrick: Actually, I would like to have another examination.
Nikolas: No, no thank you. I've been poked and prodded enough. Hey, what the hell gives you the right to pry into my life?
Nadine: Is this where you flip out and start threatening me with something sharp?
Nikolas: No, I'm perfectly sane right now. I just happen to be furious. I don't appreciate you carrying tales to my family or doctors.
Nadine: For your information, Nikolas, I haven't told a single person that you think you can talk to your dead fiancée or that you're still so in love with her that you'd rather die than have the operation that could save your life. It's none of my business. I'm just a nurse here, after all.
Luke: I swear to you, Tracy, I haven't been unfaithful to you in weeks -- months. Many, many months.
Tracy: Because you've been flat on your back in a hospital bed.
Luke: Just the way you like me.
Tracy: You were the one that almost killed yourself with all your carousing.
Luke: Yeah, well, you were the one that smashed my kneecap to bits with an I.V. pole on purpose. I think you just want to keep me incapacitated.
Tracy: You were mobile enough for that streetwalker.
Luke: Oh, for god's sake, how many times do I have to tell you that was Claudia Zacchara, mob princess with a screw loose. She came on to me.
Tracy: And you did nothing to fend her off?
Luke: [Sighs] This is pointless. You know who I am. You know how I live. You married me anyway.
Tracy: Luke, you got me drunk. You tricked me.
Luke: And you've never been happier in your life.
Tracy: Ok. You can stay. But this time, you're at my mercy.
Carly: How about a really cheery yellow?
Lulu: Like that?
Carly: Ew -- that's awful.
Lulu: Yeah.
Carly: Ok, well, what about a neutral color? Like, I don't know, oatmeal. Coffee.
Lulu: You are not a neutral person.
Carly: I was thinking of making it a piano room, you know? Where you can put a baby grand piano in there. Jax plays sometimes. Morgan, I would love for him to take lessons.
Lulu: Yeah, Johnny plays piano, and he gets lost in it, and you see o he is -- his soul. Anyway, you know, he's got a piano.
Carly: You can see his soul when he plays? I'd say he's more than pretty good.
Lulu: Oh, just don't ask me to explain it. I can't. Nothing about Johnny makes sense. Least of all how I feel about him.
Carly: [Chuckles]
Lulu: I slept with him.
Carly: Wow, ok.
Lulu: It was so tender and beautiful, and I was so happy, and I thought he was, too, and then he disappeared.
Carly: He walked out on you?
Lulu: No, no. We were supposed to have a dinner date, and he never showed, and then he called me, we got cut off, and the next time I saw him was when I was looking for you when the cannery exploded.
Carly: Ok, so what happened?
Lulu: I ran into his arms, he kissed me, it was wonderful, and then he went to go look for his sister, and the next time I saw him, he had a gun to Sonny's head.
Carly: Are you serious?
Lulu: Yeah, he was crazy. Exactly like how he was when I first met him. I should hate him, right? I mean, he is dangerous and he's probably insane, so I should just -- I should forget about him.
Carly: Guys like Johnny are hard to forget.
Lulu: You're not helping.
Carly: Were you afraid when you saw him with the gun?
Lulu: Absolutely.
Carly: What else?
Lulu: Ok, ok, all right. You want me to say it out loud? Fine, yeah. It probably made me want to be with Johnny even more.
Spinelli: Your concern has always been that claiming your son would expose him to dangers from your enemies, but recent events, most notably Mr. Corinthos' commendable choice to forge an alliance with the Zaccharas has lessened the threat of violence considerably.
Jason: Would you bet your life on that?
[Knock on door]
Spinelli: Probably the brusque lady of justice coming to give us an update. Vixenella.
Claudia: Actually, it's Claudia Zacchara. I'm here to see Jason Morgan.
Spinelli: Um, Stone Cold Mr. Morgan is not available at this time. If you'd like to come back --
Claudia: He's actually standing right behind you.
Spinelli: Yeah, well, he's recuperating from previous injuries, and he's not accepting visitors.
Jason: It's ok, Spinelli.
Claudia: [Laughs] Interesting choice for a bodyguard.
Spinelli: Be warned, Vixenella, The Jackal's capabilities extend far beyond those which are immediately apparent to the undiscerning eye.
Claudia: I Iike the way you talk. I think it's weirdly articulate.
Spinelli: The Jackal appreciates your -- your acious, if manipulative and no doubt insincere comments.
Claudia: You're The Jackal?
Spinelli: Um, yeah, assassin of cyberspace. Part-time private investigator, full-time friend and protégé of the Zen master Stone Cold.
Claudia: That would be you, for obvious reasons, but why am I Vixenella?
Spinelli: Well, the reasons are likewise obvious. For your persona is both overtly threatening, and if you don't mind me saying so, sexually aggressive. Sexually aggressive, you are sexually aggressive.
Claudia: You know, I really don't honestly think I could ever hurt someone as obviously harmless and brilliant as you are.
Jason: Just -- just leave him alone.
Claudia: But I like him.
Spinelli: [Squeaks] I -- jackal is impervious to your false --
Jason: The Jackal's gonna leave.
Spinelli: Really?
Jason: Now.
Spinelli: [Squeals nervously]
Jason: Last time.
Spinelli: Ok.
Claudia: Aw. He's sweet. I'm surprised he's a friend of yours, but I like surprises. Sometimes.
Jason: What do you want?
Claudia: Just to follow up on our business conversation.
Lulu: I saw Johnny today when I was visiting Logan at the hospital. Who, by the way, has been wonderful.
Carly: Is it possible that you're using Logan to get over Johnny?
Lulu: I might be selfish enough to try that, if I could actually get over Johnny, but I can't. I can't stop thinking about him, and the most annoying part is he is not making an effort towards me. If I like Johnny, great. If I don't, then there's the door.
Carly: You know what I think?
Lulu: I need therapy
Carly: Yeah.
Carly: You need a life. Or a job. Something better than that waitressing job at Kelly's.
Lulu: A job is not going to make me forget about Johnny.
Carly: But what if you could help me and yourself at the same time?
Lulu: Well, I mean, yeah, of course I would want to help you, but --
Carly: How do you feel about a career in fashion?
Kate: I don't remember a thing about that building we just saw.
Jax: That makes two of us.
Kate: Oh, Jax, this is silly. We should really reschedule. You and Carly are still dealing with your loss.
Jax: Yeah. And it's not enough that Carly lost the baby. I keep tripping over Sonny and Jason. I'm supposed to ignore the insanity they bring on a daily basis.
Kate: Look, I know you don't believe it, but Sonny is making a sincere effort to keep peace with the Zaccharas.
Jax: [Laughs] Do you know how ridiculous that sounds? Kate Howard, fashion icon, discussing mob politics?
Kate: Ok, all right, ok. I know it's ludicrous, but -- well, I am starting to hate most of the people involved with the mob.
Jax: But not Sonny.
Kate: Not Sonny.
Jax: That's too bad.
Claudia: You should I know I had an unhappy encounter with Sonny today.
Jason: How unhappy?
Claudia: He walked in on me and Kate Howard negotiating. She already knows that I slept with him, but I made a full disclosure. See, he's got a reputation for going after a certain kind of woman, so that's how I came on to him.
Jason: Why are you telling me this?
Claudia: Because you're going to find out about it anyway, doubtless, and I think it's better if you hear it from me. I'm asking you to knock a guy off. Trevor Lansing goes to Manhattan every Thursday. Take meetings in his office. At 5:00, he walks to the colony club. The sidewalks are crowded. He doesn't have guards, and a professional with a silencer should be able to take him down, no problem. Like I said, this will be a piece of cake for you, and I would be -- I would be eternally grateful.
Ric: Trevor has screwed me over for the last time. I want to make him pay.
Sonny: You got a strange way of taking revenge, Ric. Selling Trevor those piers means he holds the balance of power.
Ric: Ok, I want to turn things around. Look, I'll work him, and I'll feed you information. After all, I am still his son.
Sonny: Trevor knows you hate him, Ric.
Ric: Yes, he thinks I hate you more. He's wrong.
Sonny: Why am I supposed to believe you?
Ric: Look, Trevor's the real enemy here, Sonny. He's been pitting us against each other for years. If we work together, we can bury him.
Sonny: You mean that literally?
Ric: I want my father broken and humiliated, and then I want him dead. By any means you think necessary.
Max: Boss, Trevor Lansing's here to see you. I told him you were busy. He said it was about the Alcazar property.
Sonny: Well, I guess you better let him in, right?
Max: Come on in.
Trevor: Richie, look at you. Isn't this a coincidence, finding you together with your brother? What could you possibly be talking about?
>> On the next "General Hospital" --
Maxie: You're trying to convince me to spy on Jax? Jax: I want to help you run the magazine. Patrick: You need follow-up surgery as soon as possible. Trevor: You wouldn't be trying to team up against me, would you? Claudia: Sonny's got to go. He's gonna pay with his life.
