Maxie: Thank you.
Kate: This isn't a schoolyard. I don't have the time nor the inclination to referee catfights between my assistants. Maxie was here first, so whatever the problem is, she gets the benefit of the doubt.
Lulu: That's unfair.
Kate: Fair? Would you like to know about my last assistant?
Maxie: Clarice?
Kate: Oh, no. No, , no. Clarice was promoted, and frankly, I'm still bitter about it, but Giselle saw how competent she was and rewarded her. No, no, no, before Clarice there was Lisa. Now, Lisa had potential, too, but -- oh, she was sloppy. She got the nail polish wrong.
Lulu: Nail polish?
Kate: Oh, yes. I told her red with fuscia tones, and she got me red with magenta tones. It was wrong on so many levels, and she used to weep because I never said thank you. Yes, well, now Lisa has a job that requires nothing more than repeating the phrase "paper or plastic." This is fashion, ladies. Fair doesn't come into the equation. If you don't like it, I can just tell Jax you chose to resign.
Maxie: It was nice having you around.
Lulu: I have never quit anything in my life. I will learn the difference between magenta and fuscia.
Maxie: I already know.
Kate: Of course you do, Maxie, and that's why Lulu gets to make 50 copies of this report, collate it, and put it into binders, and don't choose any of those tacky binders. Something nice and tasteful.
Maxie: I better pick the binders.
Lulu: I can do it!
Kate: Oh. Well, I like that "can do" attitude. Get George for me from the Lake Cuomo house.
Spinelli: I was -- I was looking for fair Lulu.
Carly: Here?
Spinelli: Uh-huh.
Carly: Why are you dressed like that?
Spinelli: There's a party. I was gonna ask Lulu to the party.
Jax: Well, Lulu is at Kate Howard's place.
Spinelli: Oh, well... then there's no need for me to be here. Excuse me.
Jax: Is something wrong with that driveway?
Carly: Wow.
Michael: Hi, mom. Dad came to visit.
Carly: Oh, that's nice.
Jax: Weren't expecting you.
Sonny: Yeah, well, I told you I was gonna come by and spend more time with Michael and Morgan, especially now that he's home. I was explaining to him that, you know, it's very important to just stay in school and that all of us would want him to have priorities in his life, so he can be what he wants to be, you know.
Carly: Your father's right.
Michael: Well, what if I decide that I want to work with dad?
Sonny: Well, that's fine.
Carly: Sonny.
Sonny: No, because if -- I Michael wants to work for me then he has to learn a lot about the coffee import business.
Johnny: I want details.
Claudia: I'm giving you something better -- deniability.
Johnny: You remember when my mother died? Dad was nowhere to be found. He locked himself upstairs in a bedroom, let out these long, loud wails like some wounded animal. Remember that?
Claudia: Yeah. I used to come into your room to check on you, make sure you were ok, and you'd always be sitting on the windowsill, staring out at the river like you were gonna get away.
Johnny: When I asked you what was wrong, you remember what you told me?
Claudia: Something so you wouldn't be scared.
Johnny: You told me he had the flu. Yeah, that's right. The old man was having a complete psychotic break, cracking up, and you told me "it's ok, John. He'll be fine once his fever breaks."
Claudia: You were eight years old Johnny. You were a kid. You didn't need to --
Johnny: The lies didn't work for me then, and they still don't.
Claudia: You don't trust me, huh? You think I'd hurt you, Johnny?
Johnny: It's not about that. If this hit doesn't go as planned and Sonny remembers the information that he let slip to you, you could get hurt.
Claudia: He has no idea that he let any information slip at all. None.
[Phone rings]
Johnny: I got to take this.
Claudia: Fine, I'm late for a meeting anyway.
Johnny: John Zacchara.
Anthony: Thanks.
Trevor: Anthony, I'm gonna tell you the truth. I got very little hope that you are ever gonna be a free man.
Anthony: So we don't even try?
Trevor: Come on, Tony, I'm always trying. I have never stopped trying.
Anthony: I'm not crazy anymore. The doctors here can testify to that.
Trevor: I got that. But then you're gonna have to stand trial in a criminal court. You'll get convicted, and you'll receive multiple successive life sentences.
Anthony: You don't sound optimistic, Trevor.
Trevor: Tony, it is time that we face the facts and be thankful for what you got. You're in a prison hospital. You got the best of care, and your family and friends can come in to see you almost any time they want. All in all, I think you're a very lucky man.
Carly: It never ceases to amaze me how your kids can drive you crazy one minute and then the next minute they're asleep and they're perfect little angels.
Jax: Yeah.
Carly: I know you're not thrilled with the idea that Sonny's gonna spend more time with Michael. He needs to spend more time with his father. You know that's important.
Jax: Yeah, no, I love seeing Sonny every day. Yeah, really, no, I -- I knew that he was part of the package deal. It's ok, though. I get to spend more time on -- on my business.
Carly: Yeah.
Jax: Right.
Carly: Your business is like your hotel, all of them, all your offices. You have so many options, as long as none of them include spending more time with Kate Howard.
[Door slams]
Maxie: I spoke with Hermione. She said she would be happy to talk concept. She has plenty of ideas. So do I. I'm gonna meet her in an hour.
Lulu: The meeting's tonight?
Kate: Do you have some place more important to be?
Maxie: That's ok. I can go by myself.
Lulu: No, no, I'm -- I -- I'll be there.
Kate: The magazine is called "Crimson." That's as good a place to start as any.
Maxie: Crimson, that is not fuscia or magenta.
Sonny: Oh, I didn't know you had company. I'm sorry I interrupted.
Maxie: We're just leaving.
Sonny: Ok.
Lulu: Hi, Sonny.
Sonny: Hey. What was that about?
Kate: Um, I have two new assistants now. Maxie's the one with the killer instincts. Lulu, I'm not so sure.
Sonny: Well, Lulu, you got to be careful, 'cause the Senders are tough. You know what I'm saying?
Kate: I'm glad you came by.
Sonny: Be right back.
Kate: I missed you.
Sonny: How long are you gonna keep following me?
Patrick: Ah, hunter will kill dinner for woman.
Robin: I'm starving. Thank you.
Patrick: Knock yourself out. I got some more sauce here, too.
Robin: Oh, more sauce. Mmm.
Patrick: Obviously, you feel better.
Robin: Well, you know, I have to take advantage of these opportunities where I feel like I am not going to puke, so I actually can take my meds and keep them down. Mmm. [Muffled] Want some?
Patrick: I'm ok. This whole pregnancy thing is so interesting. When we were together, you never ate ribs. You barely ever touched red meat.
Robin: I have no control. My body tells me what I need, and I have to have it.
Patrick: Ok, so red meat, I'm thinking iron deficiency.
Robin: Oh, come on. Don't make a big deal out of it, ok? Tomorrow it's gonna be dairy, pickles, maybe even both. This being inside of me is only this big, and it already controls my life. I mean, I am not longer in control of my own destiny. [Muffled] Want some?
Ric: If my brother wants to talk to me, all he has to do is make a phone call.
Johnny: Whoa, whoa, I'm the one with the questions here.
Ric: Well, then perhaps you should try asking instead of having your boys harass me.
Johnny: I got a couple of friends watching over my father, and they say you paid him a little visit. I'd love to know why.
Maxie: Ok, there should be red roses at every table. Miss Howard will want to check those and make sure they're the right red, and she also wants place settings and seat assignments.
Hermione: With this budget, you have to do buffet style. I mean, you don't do duck's liver pate and crab claws with formal settings.
Maxie: Ok, well, Miss Howard was very specific. She knows who should sit with who, and she definitely wants crab claws.
Lulu: Well, there's a compromise.
Maxie: With Kate Howard, there isn't.
Lulu: We do buffet style, and -- and we have table and seat assignments.
Maxie: Yeah, like -- like a hoedown or a backyard barbecue.
Hermione: I'll make a call about the crystalware, and you two work it out.
Maxie: Do you have any respect for Kate? You're completely ignoring her wishes.
Lulu: I'm using my brain.
Maxie: You have no interest in fashion, and even less taste. You would serve cocktail wieners if I would let you.
Lulu: Oh, but dad loves cocktail wieners. He has cook make them for him every week.
Maxie: You don't want this job, Lulu, so why don't you just go home?
Lulu: I'm not going anywhere.
Maxie: All right, then prepare to become fashion roadkill, because this job is my dream, and I'm not gonna let you take it from me.
Jax: Of course I have to spend time with Kate. We have a magazine to get up and running. Do you have any idea what it takes to launch a new publication?
Carly: Do you need to hug her, too?
Jax: Are we gonna go there, seriously?
Carly: Why did you have to invest? Why?
Jax: Carly, what --
Carly: Why couldn't you put your money behind "Couture?" I mean, it -- it is a proven success. It is.
Jax: Because --
Carly: Or how about an oil well in Venezuela, because that would be perfect.
Jax: Because I thought it was a good business opportunity, ok? I followed my instinct. I always follow my instinct. That's how I knew to fall in love with you.
Carly: Oh, don't even try flirting with me. You know you like her.
Jax: Yes, I do. But I love you. Hey, Carly, come on. After we lost the baby, we promised each other that we would carry on now, my business with Kate is part of that, so you're gonna have to figure out a way to trust me.
Carly: I do trust you. I don't trust her.
Jax: Come on, come here. Hey.
Ric: Well, I'm no longer the D.A., so I have to scratch work wherever I can. I just went to visit your father to see how his condition was, mentally.
Johnny: Why do you care?
Ric: Anthony's progress is significant enough that we could get him released. A case could be made that he was mentally incompetent during the events of the black and white ball. With the medical testimony I'm putting together, there's an excellent chance your father could be released.
Johnny: My father's a brutal, murderous bastard who deserves to be locked up till the end of time, so don't you so much as think about having him released.
Sonny: Speak.
Spinelli: Mr. Corinthos, sir, I was -- I was just -- I was -- I was looking for fair Lulu.
Sonny: Ok, first of all, you've been following me since the Metro Court, right? And then Carly's and then here.
Kate: Sonny, has he really done any harm?
Sonny: I don't like the weirdo following me around. This is about Jason, isn't it? He wants you to tail me, whatever. You tell Jason that I'm doing fine, right? And that I don't want you within 500 yards of me.
Spinelli: Ok, I'm sorry, sir. Fashionista.
Kate: Hmm.
Sonny: Oh, man, it's -- I don't know.
Kate: Jason is worried. Should you be?
Sonny: You know what? It's like this. See, Jason wants any excuse to avoid surgery. What he doesn't understand is that things are so good now, right? And that's partly -- that's partly because of you, all right, and there's a -- we have a truce now, right?
Kate: Mm-hmm.
Sonny: You know, I did all that and all that, and now I can focus on us, the kids, things that matter.
Sonny: It's all good, right? It's all good.
Claudia: You didn't waste any time, did you?
Jerry: And why are we here?
Claudia: On Friday at 7 P.M., Sonny is expecting a shipment of coffee. He'll be here to sign off on it. It's all very legit.
Jerry: How do you know this?
Claudia: I know.
Ian: He'll have at least two bodyguards.
Claudia: No, the custom inspectors will be here so he can sign off on it in person. He can't risk having guards around.
Ian: I could do this.
Claudia: Good, then we're agreed. Sonny dies on Friday.
>> On the next "General Hospital" --
Luke: What's on your mind? Maxie: Are you and I in some sort of competition? Bailiff: All rise. Sonny: You're not telling me how to raise my children. Carly: I don't like you. You're not welcome here.
