[Music plays]

tracy: Who are we watching, the -- the nursie with the accent or the moll with the bad attitude?

Luke: I'm trying to keep one eye on each. It's giving me a headache.

Claudia: You better find him and shut him up before he gets us both killed.

Jerry: Well, you brought dr. Jekyll here, i didn't.

Claudia: I never imagined him taking a shot with a child in the line of fire.

Jerry: And he won't hesitate to turn us in if he's caught.

Claudia: What's he even doing here?

Jerry: Living dangerously, as we all are.

Sam: So is carly sitting with michael?

Alexis: I'm assuming sonny's with him. I got to tell you, my heart goes out to both of them.

Luke: Welcome back to the haunted star, pal. Anything you need, it's yours.

Sonny: I'm just here to play.

Jax: Carly, you need to explain to morgan what's going on.

Carly: Morgan would never want me to leave his brother alone.

Jax: Nurses will be here. I can stay here if you like.

Carly: What if he wakes up while i'm gone?

Logan: Well, i guess we all had the same idea, a little evening of gambling at the haunted star, huh?

Johnny: I don't know. Talk to lulu.

Lulu: I'm not going anywhere with you.

Spinelli: Numbers, a caduceus, you know, the snakes intertwined with the wings at the top, a slightly ambiguous symbol for american medicine.

Jason: Just finish the trace on the plates.

Spinelli: Ok, right.

Jason: I need to know which doctor was driving past the warehouse the night michael was shot.

luke: What? You're welcome here any time.

Sonny: Thank you, luke.

Luke: John zacchara will be here later.

Sonny: Yeah?

Luke: And you know the star is neutral territory.

Sonny: I'm just here to gamble.

Luke: Ok. Jennifer. For old time's sake.

Sonny: No, thank you. I'm going to be spending my own money tonight.

Luke: Oh, man, that's music to my ears. Enjoy.

Sonny: Thanks.

Tracy: Why didn't you frisk him?

Luke: Why didn't you?

Tracy: Those two goons need frisking.

Luke: Go on, popsicle, have some fun. Enjoy your little self.

Ric: How's michael?

Sonny: [Mumbles unintelligibly]

ric: What are you doing?

Sonny: Uh, i'm -- i'm gambling.

Ric: You're gambling? I see.

Sonny: Yeah.

Ric: Whatever you're trying to prove, sonny, it's not going to help your son.

Carly: If michael wakes up and i'm gone, he'll be scared, and i can't take that risk.

Jax: I may not understand what this is like for you, but i know what it's like to be a little brother left alone. I'm not saying that, you know, michael's like jerry. He's not. But my parents spent a lot of time getting jerry out of trouble when i was growing up. Sometimes i felt alone and scared, even though i knew my parents loved me.

Carly: You think that's how morgan feels?

Jax: Just go home for a while, give him a hug, tuck him into bed, let him know that you're ok.

Carly: I -- i wanted to go home after michael woke up, and then i could tell him the good news.

Jax: Hey, it'll be good news just seeing you. Morgan needs to know about his brother, and he needs to know about you. Ok? You can't -- you can't make him wait any longer, carly.

Carly: Hey, michael, i'm going to go for just a little while. But if you wake up, don't be scared, because i'll be right back, and the nurses will call me, ok?

Carly: I love you, baby.

Robin: I am so sorry. I closed my eyes for two minutes.

Patrick: No, it's ok. You were dead asleep, though. You just want to stay home and get some takeout? We don't have to go.

Robin: No, no, because once this baby is born, i'm going to have to stay home every single night for years.

Patrick: Every single night for years?

Robin: Yeah, i mean, besides parent-teacher conferences and dance recitals, this might be my last hurrah at the haunted star. Ow.

Patrick: Robin, you sure those shoes are ok?

Robin: Yeah, my feet are a little swollen, but it's fine.

Patrick: I'm sure you have bigger shoes. Let's just get some.

Robin: I like these shoes. They go with my outfit. Let's go. Come on.

Lulu: So, did you have to sneak out of the house to escape claudia?

Johnny: I told her i have other plans.

Lulu: What did you think i was going to do? Did you think i was going to just wait here for you and be really grateful that you followed me all the way over here?

Johnny: Maybe i'll see you inside.

Logan: That looked like fun.

Lulu: It's getting late. I should probably go.

Logan: Why don't you let me walk you over? Not a date, just a walk. Safety precaution.

Lulu: Logan, it's --

logan: I know. You don't have to say it again, ok? We're over. I understand, i'm cool with it.

Lulu: Ok.

Logan: All right.

Jason: Yes?

Spinelli: No.

Jason: No? Why is this trace taking so long?

Spinelli: State computers are lethargic and of a bygone era, but the archaic software is reliable in the sense of the turtle finishing the race.

Jason: Can you just please focus?

Spinelli: Right.

Jason: Please, focus, please.

Spinelli: Sorry, sorry. Does mr. Corinthos, sir, have any enemies that by chance might be doctors? I mean, perhaps you could compose a list that i could cross-reference.

Jason: I mean, sonny has a lot of enemies, you know? I mean, a lot of people don't like him The quartermaines -- but they would never -- they would never do anything like this. You know a.J.? It's michael's biological father, and i honestly believe that a.J. Did not have the right to raise his own kid. I mean, sonny, carly, and i kept michael away from a family that loved him. Look where he ended up.

Sonny: Double up.

Ric: Have you talked to your therapist? What about your medication?

Sonny: I'm not having a breakdown.

Ric: Then what are you doing here, sonny?

Sonny: I'm winning. Look. Look!

Sonny: Ok?

Ric: Hey, hey. Why are you putting yourself through this?

Sonny: Hit me.

Sonny: Whoo.

Luke: Good evening, partner.

Johnny: Looks like a pretty good crowd, huh?

Luke: Not bad at all. Remember all the money you put in the joint, and also remember shootouts are not good for business.

Johnny: Now's the time.

Claudia: No, this is -- no. Listen to me. It's way too weird, sonny just showing up like this out of the blue. Something's up.

Carly: This is the last place i saw michael. He was playing a video game and i yelled at him for it, and then i went to work. I didn't even kiss him goodbye.

Morgan: Mommy.

Carly: Hey, baby. I love you so much.

Spinelli: The program's working. It -- it will provide accurate information, eventually. Oh, while we wait, might i inquire as to how it fell upon you to name michael after mr. Corinthos, sir?

Jason: It doesn't matter.

Spinelli: Well, we can wait in silence if you prefer.

Jason: After --

jason: After carly had michael, she suffered from postpartum depression, and she couldn't take care of him, so she left him with me, and i -- i didn't know how to take care of a baby.

Spinelli: Well, you must have learned with alacrity.

Jason: I gradually realized that michael needed more than food and a safe place to be You know, he needed love. He needed a home, parents. He needed a name. He didn't -- he didn't have a name, so i -- i tried to call carly. I couldn't reach her, so i made a decision. I named him after a man i respected the most, a man who was like a father to me. What's the point of taking care of a baby, giving him a name, and surrounding him with love if you can't even keep him safe?

Luke: Have fun.

Lulu: Oh, have a nice night. Where were you? You were supposed to be my date.

Nikolas: Where were you. I waited for a half an hour. I called you.

Lulu: I told you -- i told you that i might be late.

Nikolas: When's the last time you turned your cell phone on?

Lulu: Let's go check out the bar.

Nikolas: I'm right in the middle of a game.

Nadine: It's ok, you should go.

Robin: Maybe there's a table somewhere. Oh, yeah, can we just sit down for a second? Ow. Oh, so much better.

Patrick: You can barely walk.

Robin: Well, it's just little tight, but that's normal. It's -- it's fine.

Robin: Wow. Look at kate howard. She's so gorgeous.

Patrick: It's her job to look gorgeous.

Maxie: What are you going to do?

Kate: We are going to talk up the magazine. We're going to tell everyone we're back on track. We're going to downplay michael's accident without appearing cool, but the point is to generate interest and goodwill.

Maxie: Ok.

Nikolas: You all right?

Lulu: Yeah, i'm fine, i guess.

Patrick: A white mother russian -- just milk, a little bit of honey, and ice.

Robin: That sounds really great. Thank you so much.

Patrick: You know, you are the most beautiful woman in this room.

Robin: You know i love it when you lie to me.

Patrick: What?

Robin: Ugh -- the ice, it's just floating in the milk.

Patrick: Robin, you going to be sick?

Robin: Not if i get something fizzy, quick.

Patrick: Ok.

Johnny: Mr. Corinthos.

Johnny: I want you to know how sorry i was to hear about what happened to your son. My heart goes out to you and the rest of your family. I want to assure you that my sister and i had nothing to do with it, and the truce is still intact as far as we're concerned.

Sonny: Ok, so then i won't rush to judgment. But i will find out who shot michael, and whoever did it will pay. Can you put 10,000 on black? Thank you.

Luke: Let me have that cup there. Thank you.

Luke: Get rid of that for me.

Claudia: Well, we liven up the place, you got to give us that.

Luke: Yeah. All right, let's get something clear. I'm here to make money tonight. This is my opening. A shootout would really cut into my profits.

Claudia: We have a truce, remember? But if you could, put in a good word with sonny, huh?

Luke: And why would you want me to do that? Don't you think he believed you?

Claudia: Look, we would never shoot anybody's kid.

Luke: I hope not. I really hope not.

Johnny: You made it.

Lulu: Obviously.

Johnny: Where's logan?

Lulu: I'm here with nikolas. I told you that.

Maxie: I heard you were one of the owners. It's an amazing opening.

Nice work.

Johnny: Thank you.

Lulu: You, too.

Maxie: I'm just doing my job. What's your excuse?

Lulu: For not sucking up? Integrity, maybe.

Kate: That's quite a performance.

Sonny: It's over.

Kate: Is there no possibility that you would leave here with me right now? I could collapse or twist an ankle if you need an excuse, if saving face was an issue.

Sonny: Yeah, but you got work to do, right?

Kate: And you have the perfect opportunity to show everyone here that you're not alone in this.

Sonny: Let's go, milo.

Carly: I'm so sorry that i have been gone so long. I know it's been tough, and you have been such a good boy for jax, mercedes, and grandma bobbie.

Morgan: Where's michael?

Carly: Michael is in the hospital. Yeah, see, there was an accident, and he was hurt, so he has to stay in the hospital so his body can rest and heal. And it is. Your brother is getting stronger every day, and that's why i need to be at the hospital, because i really want to be there when he wakes up. And when he wakes up, he's going to come home, and he's going to be so happy to see you, and we are going to be together. We're going to be together.

Spinelli: Ok, the plate belongs to a rental agency which also leases cars.

Jason: Find out who the doctor is.

Spinelli: Why would the doctor be involved in such a heinous act?

Jason: I have no idea. Maybe it's a coverup, but it's a place to start.

Spinelli: Even if my highly evolved skills do reveal the evildoer, it won't change what happened to michael.

Kate: You know, i know why i'm here. To promote "crimson" and put on a good face, no matter how i feel. Now why don't you tell me why you're here, unless it was to meet up with the zaccharas.

Sonny: Well, that was their call, not mine.

Kate: Sonny, why are you doing this?

Sonny: Doing what?

Kate: You want everyone to think that you don't care.

Sonny: I'm just -- i'm not -- i'm having a good time. I mean, you know, luke's an old friend. Every time i go to the hospital, carly, you know, gets upset. She thinks that i don't deserve to be a father, so there's nothing i can do for michael tonight, right?

Kate: I know, i know, sonny. It must be hell.

Sonny: Yeah, it's hell, but it's my hell. It's not your hell, right?

Kate: Don't do this. Don't shut me out.

Luke: So far, so good, wife.

Tracy: You think kate and sonny are going to be back?

Luke: Who knows?

Diane: Good evening, mr. And mrs. Spencer. Oh, i can't believe how late i am. I got caught in a conference call. So, have i missed anything?

Luke and tracy: Nah.

Diane: Oh, can you tell me where kate howard is? I want to see who she's wearing.

Tracy: She left with sonny corinthos.

Diane: Oh. Oh. Well, what a shame. Excuse me.

Luke: Mm-hmm.

Alexis: Ok, ok, ok. Just -- just -- just think for just once. There's so many nice men here who aren't trigger-happy mob guards. What about any of them?

Diane: Ok, here are your choices as i see them. You can get out of my way, or i will grab you by your hairpiece --

alexis: Bitch.

Diane: Thank you -- and throw you off the boat.
