Robin: I'm coming.
Patrick: It's ok, no rush.
[Knocking]
Patrick: Robin, we do have reservations.
Robin: We're not going to dinner. I don't have anything that fits me.
Nikolas: Your honor, Dr. Quatermaine is devastated that she hit Sam McCall while driving under the influence. And I am not in any way trying to make excuses for her. But grief and loss can affect you in ways you never thought possible. You become desperate to get away from that pain, even if it's just for a little while. You'll turn to anyone or to anything for help, no matter how harmful it may be.
Luke: Come in, sweetheart. Your friend and I are just having a business discussion.
Lulu: What kind?
Luke: Mr. Zacchara would like to invest in the Haunted Star. Do you think it's a coincidence that I just happen to be your daddy?
Johnny: Your casino is a very good business opportunity.
Luke: Sure it is, until you and Lulu have a falling out. And then I'm left high and dry.
Carly: If Sonny is stupid enough to sleep with you, that's his problem.
Claudia: Your ex didn't have any problem, trust me.
Carly: You can save your cheesy innuendos for someone else. I just want you out of here, now.
Claudia: Yeah? Do you always get what you want?
Carly: We don't want customers like you here. It's bad for business. People might think we cater to hookers.
Claudia: You better adjust your attitude. You do not want me as an enemy.
Robin: See? This one doesn't fit, either.
Patrick: That one fits fine.
Robin: Are you kidding me? Look at this. The fabric gets all stretched out right here because I'm fat.
Patrick: Robin, you're hardly showing. I couldn't even tell until you pointed it out.
Robin: Well, that's because I wear scrubs all the time at the hospital. But the truth is, my body is changing and I've completely lost my waist. I mean, I am so, so not sexy, am I?
Patrick: I think you're very sexy.
Robin: You're just saying that.
Patrick: No, hey, I really do.
Robin: I mean, I'm sweating more. I'm getting acne in weird places. And I'm getting stretch marks already. Is that too much information? I'm sorry.
Patrick: No, no.
Robin: Because if it is, I can just stop right now.
Patrick: No, I'm interested. That's interesting.
Robin: Well, ok, here's one. So all my life, right, I've had an innie and now I have an outie. See?
Patrick: Yeah, hard to tell.
Robin: It's amazing to think that my stomach is going to get even bigger than this.
Patrick: Well, then -- you know, that's probably a good thing. You can enjoy that, because you're thrilled about being pregnant.
Robin: Yes, I am. And you wanted to have an evening that was not about my pregnancy, so I will not say one more word about it.
Patrick: Ok.
Robin: Except I have one question. I really can't wear this out, can I?
Patrick: Robin, listen to me. It looks great. You look gorgeous, and I'm really excited about this evening. So can we just go?
Robin: You are so insensitive.
Diane: Your honor, with all due respect, I believe that a harsh sentence for the defendant in this case would be counterproductive.
Alexis: And the district attorney's office agrees with Ms. Miller's learned opinion.
Diane: Thank you, Ms. Davis.
Judge Morris: Continue, Ms. Miller.
Diane: Dr. Monica Quatermaine is a well-respected and upstanding member of this community, and has been for many years. As a cardiologist at General Hospital, she has been instrumental in providing for the health and well-being of the citizens of Port Charles.
Alexis: Which is why we agreed to the deal that involves six months community service at a free clinic.
Diane: Where Dr. Quartermaine's medical expertise will be invaluable. However, no one will be served if she is incarcerated.
Alexis: Not to mention needless cost for the taxpayers.
Diane: And contribute absolutely nothing to society.
Alexis: Dr. Quartermaine's abilities would be wasted.
Diane: The defense concedes a tragic irony in this case, your honor. Dr. Quartermaine has devoted her life to helping and healing others. And yet, in a tragic accident, she physically injures this young woman.
Alexis: Given the defendant's remorse at what happened, we really think that jail time would be gratuitous.
Diane: Your honor, once again with all due respect, rehabilitation and community service is the sentence that truly fits this crime.
Judge Morris: Compelling arguments, Ms. Miller and Ms. Davis. But they do not mitigate the seriousness of this offense.
Sam: Your honor, that offense happened to me. You wouldn't listen to me before, but you need to listen to me now.
Maxie: I can't believe this is happening. Everything was going so perfectly, I was totally impressing Kate, and now I'm going to be fired.
Spinelli: I'm sure you're just overreacting.
Maxie: I sent a mock-up of the first issue to a publishing house in Paris instead of the designer in Hong Kong.
Spinelli: I'm sure that action is not as heinous as you might think.
Maxie: Read my lips, Spinelli -- publishing house. They're going to steal Kate's ideas. The first issue's going to be a complete flop, and I'm going to be totally drop-kicked into the unemployment line.
Spinelli: Well look, perhaps if you explain the circumstances to the fashionista she'll forgive your error and retain your services.
Maxie: This isn't all about me. I can't believe I actually said that. This is about Kate. She's put everything in her life into making sure this magazine succeeds and I honestly think it's a really great idea. Ok, maybe it is kind of about me, because this could be my career. I love everything about it. I love the fashion, the designers, the excitement, the pace. This is -- it's perfect for me. I mean, I never liked the job I had before. It was always about how quickly I could cash my check and get out of there. I really want to work my butt off for Kate and make sure this magazine's a huge success, and instead I made it a disaster.
Spinelli: My deepest condolences. I mean, if I could help I swear to god, I would.
Maxie: You can help me, save me.
Spinelli: What -- how?
Maxie: I don't know. You're a computer genius, think of something.
Spinelli: Um, if it was an email, perhaps I could recall it.
Maxie: Right -- recall the package.
Spinelli: But the package is already in transit, winging its way to Europe as we --
Maxie: I don't care. Crash the system, kill the trucking, do something. You cannot let that package be delivered.
Johnny: Lulu and I aren't seeing each other any more. It was her decision and I respect it.
Luke: Sure you do. That's why you're here, so you can accidentally bump into her.
Johnny: I've run the numbers and the Haunted Star could turn a profit for me.
Luke: Look, pal, your money is welcome. But don't delude yourself. The spuds in my daughter's life are of no concern to me.
Johnny: I'm very clear on that, Mr. Spencer.
Lulu: Why would you be interested in a creaky old casino?
Luke: Hey, that creaky old casino is my nest egg.
Johnny: It's a good investment for the family business.
Lulu: It's for money laundering, isn't it?
Luke: Quick, isn't she?
Johnny: The offer's legitimate, and the conditions are more than fair. It's your call.
Lulu: Just admit it. You're buying into the Haunted Star because of me.
Claudia: I've got a long, mean memory. You keep causing problems, payback's going to hit you in the face like a fist.
Carly: You like tossing around threats, don't you?
Claudia: How about we try for peaceful coexistence? You pay for my drink, apologize, we'll pretend like it never happened.
Carly: You want a peaceful coexistence?
Claudia: Mm-hmm.
Carly: Stay away from me. Stay away from my family, and stay away from my hotel. And we'll get along just fine.
Claudia: Ok, have it your way. But when your life is in ruins, you remember this conversation.
Carly: Better women than you have tried to take me down. They've come and they've gone, and I'm still standing.
Sam: Dr. Quartermaine did not hit me because she was drunk. She hit me because I ran out into the middle of the road. And the truth is, I'm going to be ok. And I just hope that she will be ok, also. Dr. Quartermaine is a decent woman who has a lot of family and friends who really care and love her. She has just lost loved ones. I know what it's like. I know how it can practically destroy you and make you do things that you normally wouldn't do. I don't blame her, I just hope that she gets help. She's a good doctor who has saved a lot of lives. And I think that if she goes to rehab she can save a lot more. I am begging you, don't send her to prison. She doesn't deserve it.
Judge Morris: As I was about to say before Ms. McCall interrupted, the offense was grave.
Diane: Your honor, the victim herself has just made an eloquent and compelling argument. I certainly hope that the court will take -
Judge Morris: Ms. Miller, will you allow me to finish?
Diane: Yes. Yes, your honor.
Judge Morris: Given the mitigating circumstances, the court will agree to leniency. Dr. Monica Quartermaine, you are hereby ordered to attend a full and complete rehabilitation program and six months of community service. Court is adjourned.
Bailiff: All rise.
Robin: Ok, ok, so the rule is no talk about babies, we are two grown-ups --
Patrick: Adults.
Robin: Right, two adults out to dinner. This is good. We can get back to our old pre-pregnancy selves.
Patrick: Great, great. Excuse me, a table for two, please. Ok, so what should we talk about?
Robin: Anything.
Patrick: Ok, anything, um --
Robin: So, can you believe how warm it's been?
Patrick: Uh -- yeah.
Robin: It's -- forget it.
Patrick: No, why? I mean, it has been warm.
Robin: No, talking about the weather is an act of desperation. We're not going to stoop that low.
Robin: So, how was your day?
Patrick: Um, well, you were with me for most of it, so --
Robin: Well, what about the morning surgery?
Patrick: Didn't I tell you? It got cancelled.
Robin: Oh.
Patrick: Yeah, the woman had an infection, so we're treating her with antibiotics.
Robin: Wow.
Patrick: Yeah.
Robin: I hope she's ok.
Patrick: Yeah, she's responding, so she should be fine.
Robin: Good, good. Oh, remember the coffee house that we used to go to after the movies?
Patrick: Yeah, the one on Vine?
Robin: Yes. So they're going to be doing poetry night every Thursday. All the local poets come and they recite their work. We should go.
Patrick: Yeah. Yeah, that sounds like fun.
Robin: Yeah. Are you sure this dress looks better than the last one?
Patrick: Definitely. It looks great on you.
Robin: Because the other one looked really bad.
Patrick: I didn't say that, Robin. I said that one looks great.
Robin: You're right, I'm sorry. I don't know why I'm so self-conscious. You know, I mean I'm excited to be pregnant and the fact that I'm showing is good. That means that the baby is healthy and well and I'm excited to be a mom.
Carly: Have a nice dinner.
Robin: That was bad.
Patrick: You know what? I don't think anything's going to make her feel any worse about the miscarriage. Where's our -
Waitress: Your table is ready.
Patrick: Great, thank you.
Robin: Oh, good. Thank you.
Maxie: Have you done it yet?
Spinelli: The Jackal is endeavoring to hack into the mainframe to reroute the misguided parcel. This is no simple task.
Maxie: Well, for you it should be like taking candy from a baby.
Spinelli: That's an expression that has always troubled The Jackal. I mean, why would you want to take --
Maxie: Spinelli, concentrate.
Spinelli: Look, I'm attempting every possible maneuver, I assure you.
[Computer beeps]
Maxie: What is it?
Spinelli: I've been locked out.
Maxie: Locked out? That's impossible.
Spinelli: There's a protective barrier that's encoded --
Maxie: Stop it with the cyber-lingo. I know you know I don't understand, and I think you're doing it on purpose.
Spinelli: I am?
Maxie: Yeah. You want me to look bad so Lulu's going to win.
Spinelli: The Jackal's never even considered such an action.
Maxie: I don't believe this. I actually trusted you. I thought we were friends. All that private eye detective work together, looking for Georgie's real killer, staying up late talking for hours.
Spinelli: Look, I have been -- I was moved by the wounded blonde one's confidences.
Maxie: I completely forgot that you were gaga over Lulu. You two probably planned this scheme from the beginning, didn't you?
Spinelli: No, no. A thousand times, no.
Maxie: So you're going to sit there and look me in the eye and tell me that you don't want Lulu to win?
Spinelli: Look, while The Jackal considers fair Lulu a dear friend and wishes her well, this is your dream. It is my sincerest hope that you achieve it.
Johnny: And I know the Haunted Star because of you. You took me there, so, yeah, you're part of the reason I'm making the deal.
Lulu: Stop dodging. Are you trying to invest so you can get closer to me?
Johnny: Do you want my answer to be yes?
Johnny: The Haunted Star holds the only casino license in Port Charles. It's a very useful investment.
Luke: That's a good sales pitch.
Lulu: Well, you've always loved the Haunted Star. And you were going crazy here, cooped up with Tracy.
Luke: All right, I'll tell you what. I'll take your money, but I will not share control of the club.
Johnny: You know the casino business. You run the place how you see fit.
Luke: Mr. Z, you've got yourself a partner.
Johnny: Great, get back to me with the details.
Luke: I'll do that.
Luke: And you, my lovely daughter, have got yourself a problem.
Patrick: Hey, you ok?
Robin: Yeah, I'm fine.
Waitress: Would you care for a bottle of wine tonight?
Patrick: Yeah, that would be great. A bottle of pinot noir, please. I'm sorry, what am I thinking? A bottle of sparkling water, please.
Robin: No, no. It's ok. You like to have wine with dinner, just order it.
Patrick: You can't drink any.
Robin: So what?
Patrick: Robin, I'll feel bad drinking it in front of you. So we'll just --
Robin: Don't, please order it. I don't even drink that much, anyway. I mean, you know how I don't like to be out of control.
Patrick: I can think of a couple of nights at Jake's where you got a little --
Robin: Don't go there. He's just rambling.
Patrick: A whole bottle of wine would be waste, so --
Robin: Then just order a glass of wine.
Patrick: You sure you would be ok with that?
Robin: It will annoy me if you don't have a glass of wine.
Patrick: In that case, a glass of your house pinot, please, and a bottle of sparkling water for the lady.
Waitress: Very good, sir.
Robin: Thank you. See, that wasn't so hard, was it?
Patrick: No, not hard, just different.
Robin: Ok, I think I'll have a garden salad and then, I guess, our usual.
Patrick: Rack of lamb for two? Yeah, that would be good. Oh, you know what? The tuna is always good. Sea bass is --
Robin: You know what? You decide, I need to be excused.
Nadine: You look like you've seen a ghost.
Elizabeth: Yeah, well, I have, in a way. Emily wrote this entry in the patient's chart, and reading it makes me feel like she's still here.
Nadine: She had beautiful handwriting.
Elizabeth: I used to tell her that she needed to start writing illegibly if she wanted to be a doctor. I still can't believe she's gone.
Nadine: You guys were really close.
Elizabeth: Yeah, we confided in each other about everything. She always understood me. She never judged me.
Nadine: You're really lucky to have had someone like that in your life.
Elizabeth: I know.
Nadine: You know, I only briefly met Emily here at the hospital and then that night at the ball, but everyone talks about her like she was an angel.
Elizabeth: She was.
Monica: Again, thank you, Diane, for a wonderful defense. And, Alexis, I really appreciate your support.
Alexis: I meant every word of it. I thought the judge's decision was fair and reasonable.
Diane: Are you going to be all right?
Monica: Oh, yeah, I think my family is going to take over now. Would you excuse me?
Monica: Sam? You had no reason to stand up for me and every reason to send me to prison.
Sam: Yeah, you know, there are people I might have suspected of hitting me on purpose, but not you.
Monica: Still, it doesn't excuse what I did.
Sam: I know, but look, you made it clear how very sorry you were, and that is all I needed to hear.
Monica: Thank you. You are very kind.
Sam: No, I'm usually not. But thanks for saying so. Good luck in rehab.
Monica: Thank you. You take care.
Nikolas: How are you feeling?
Monica: I'm very grateful to you. I'm very relieved and I'm really nervous.
Nikolas: Yeah, well, Emily would be proud of you.
Monica: Well, that's why I'm going to follow through with it. For her and for Alan, I'm just going to try to live my life so that I make both of them proud. You should do the same.
Nikolas: I'll do my best.
Monica: Thank you, again.
Nikolas: You're welcome.
Tracy: Well, I wasn't worried at all. If the judge had sent you to prison, daddy and I were going to find a way to blackmail him into reversing his decision.
Monica: Gosh, what would I do without my family?
Edward: I always knew you were a strong woman. But today you really were proving it. And Alan would be so proud.
Monica: Well, ok, now that the hearing is over, the hard part starts.
Edward: Are you ready to go to rehab?
Monica: Yes, I am.
Edward: Let's go.
Emily: Thank you for helping my mother.
Maxie: Do you really mean that? You want me to have this job?
Spinelli: Yes, you love working for the fashionista, and since you secured your position, you've blossomed before The Jackal's very eyes. My heart swells with happiness for you.
Maxie: Well, Kate Howard is a fashion icon, and I do get to work with her every day. Sometimes she even asks for my opinion. Like earlier we were looking at photos of handbags and she asked if I thought they were going to be getting even larger next season. I gave her my theories on how women love to carry stylish tote bags because they can put everything they need in them for the day. And basically the discussion just went back and forth and I had to pinch myself because I couldn't believe it was real.
Spinelli: Yes, you see? You have talent.
Maxie: I thought maybe someday Kate would make me a junior editor or something. But now that's never going to happen if that box gets to Paris, because my career will be over.
Carly: Lulu? Lulu? Where is she? What are you doing here?
Spinelli: I was --
Maxie: Assisting.
Spinelli: I was assisting.
Maxie: He's assisting.
Spinelli: Assisting.
Carly: With what? You guys working on something for Kate?
Lulu: Didn't you say the spuds of my life are none of your concern?
Luke: Johnny Zacchara, Logan the reptilian spawn, Spinelli the incoherent cyber-geek, and I don't know, the guy who sells pretzels on fifth and main. You know, whoever. They're all the same to me.
Lulu: Oh, ok. That's reassuring.
Luke: No, look, darling, what I'm saying is that junior Zacchara is the real deal. Don't have any illusions. His family is dangerous. He's well connected. He's in the life and he's not coming out of it. And besides that, he's got this whacko of a sister who's a true loose cannon.
Lulu: So you're staying out of my love life completely, but just as a quick aside, Johnny is trouble?
Luke: Baby, I'm just saying that if you have some kind of romantic notion that Johnny is going to change for you, it ain't never gonna happen.
