Johnny: I am sorry your father was arrested.


Lucky: Yeah, yeah, yeah, your heart is bleeding.


Johnny: Ok, I don't have time to convince you, I have to go find my sister. For what it's worth I have nothing to do with your arrest.


Luke: I accept that.


Lucky: Do you believe this guy?


Luke: Yeah, I do. I got caught in the crossfire of your family fall-out. I want you to make sure that the same thing doesn't happen to my daughter.


Johnny: Always done my best to look after Lulu, that won't change.


Luke: Ok, what's going on here, what is this, some kind of intervention?


Lulu: Oh, yeah, I think we know better by now.


Lucky: Yeah, I called Lulu over here so she could say her good-byes.


Luke: Well, that was very un-police academy of you.


Lucky: You know you used to tell me not to look the gift horse in the mouth? I think now would be a good time to take your own advice.


Lulu: So, Lucky's right? You're leaving.


Luke: Alexis has practically bought me an airline ticket. You know, I hate jumpsuits, and prison orange is not really my color. So I thought I better disappear just so I can clear my name.


Lulu: Well, I hate when this happens. It always does so I'm not going to make it difficult. I love you.


Luke: I love you, too, cupcake. Lulu: Hmm… just promise me that you'll be safe.


Luke: I promise.


Lulu: Ok, that means no binge drinking, no cigars, no -


Luke: Oh. Oh. Wait. It's kinda of scary. All of a sudden, I can't hear you.


Lulu: Yeah, yeah.


Luke: I can't hear.


Lulu: Ok, I just want you to come back in one piece. So call us to let us know that you're safe.


Luke: Yes, I'll do that as soon as I can. But, remember, until you hear from me, no news is good news.


Lulu: Hmm. Okay. I'll see you later.


Luke: I love you.


Lulu: Love you.


Luke: Now you be safe.


Lulu: I will.


Luke: Okay, lay it on me. Give me the "I told you so's."


Lucky: All I want to say is that I'm going to miss you. We'll leave it at that.


Luke: Big lug.


Cassius: Hey, doc, I hate to break up the monkey business but, I need the wheelchair.


[Robin laughs]


Patrick: Yeah.


Robin: I'm so sorry.


Patrick: Sorry for what?


Robin: For dragging you into a situation you never wanted to be a part of.


Patrick: You didn't drag me into anything. We made this baby together. Robin: By accident.


Patrick: Still, he or she is in their ready to make appearance and I'm going to be a father whether I'm prepared or not. I just - I don't want to screw it up.


Robin: I'm not worried. Okay, I am cautiously optimistic.


Patrick: Okay, then I will be, too. Listen, I got rounds so I'm gonna-


Robin: Wait, wait, what about this guy?


Patrick: Ok, well, I can put him in your car or I can take him back.


Robin: No, no, please don't do that.


Patrick: Ok, well, he's doing rounds with me then. Come on, buddy. I can use the practice. How do I look?


Robin: Great.


Patrick: Okay.


Jason: Okay, Carly, just -- you have got to try and remember that Sonny loves his kids. He's always wanted what's best for them.


Carly: Then he should be able to understand we need to protect the son he has left.


Jason: Think it's easy to give up a child? You can't just say it's for the best and walk away. Even when you know you should. You came here to hear what I think. Do you want to hear what I think?


Carly: Yes, I do.


Jason: I think if you stay rational, you keep explaining your position until Sonny can hear you; you might have a chance of him coming around seeing things your way, but if you go at him, you get him defensive, he's not going to hear anything and you're going to start a fight and nobody is going to win.


Carly: I love you, with all my heart.


Nikolas: Are you insinuating that I bear some kind of guilt by association over what happened with Michael? Just because I know Ian, I am somehow gullible.


Claudia: No, of course not. I am just -- I'm not saying that at all. I'm just wondering why you are so defensive suddenly.


Nikolas: You probably already know this, but I paid Ian $10 million to gain access to an experimental drug that is illegal in this country. He obliviously used that $10 million to finance a drug shipment that he wanted you to land. So if you connect those two damning dots, my money helped put Michael in that coma. So, hey, I guess I'm guilty, too.


[Knocking on door/ thundering
]


Robin: Jason, its Robin.


[Knocking]


Jason: Hey, come. Come on in.


Robin: Is everything ok? I though I heard something.


Jason: No, it's nothing. What can I do for you?


Robin: That's the first thing you always ask. Um, I actually brought you something. I assumed you left this for Michael?


Jason: Yeah, um, I was in the lobby and I saw it in a gift shop.


Robin: I took one look and new that it came from you.


Jason: I should have listened to you.


Jerry: Hello, darling.


Alexis: Why is it that you always appear out of nowhere?


Jerry: I come bearing gifts, chocolate filled truffles that I fought wind and rain to deliver personally.


Alexis: The truffles can stay.


Jerry: Oh, come on. You're not banishing me so quickly, are you?


Alexis: This is my office, this is where I work. I'm probably very busy.


Jerry: Look, I've missed you.


Alexis: You so lonely. Why don't you call Claudia?


Claudia: If you wanted just a little bit of advice, lose the guilt. It's a useless emotion. I mean, what you did wasn't premeditative. It wasn't even unusual, really. People with money and power, they use it all to get want they want all the time, and why shouldn't they? I mean, look, we could all backtrack every single action we ever made, if we wanted to. I'm sure, I guarantee, that we could find our place in the chain of circumstances that lead to somebody's misfortunes somewhere.


Nikolas: I'm sorry, but that was some of the most fascinating philosophical insight into perils of being rich I have ever heard. Thank you, I feel so much better.


Claudia: I just -- look, all I'm saying is that you had a legitimate reason to business with Ian. It's not like you were trying to get rich or high.


Nikolas: Well, that's just great. I'm off the hook. Are you trying to make excuses for me hoping that I will return the favor?


Claudia: No, I wanted Sonny dead. I told you. I hired Ian to kill him. What I never meant to happen was for a little boy to end up getting shot in the head. Just like
you never meant for your money to go to Devlin and for him play Dr. Drug lord.


Nickolas: It doesn't matter. We all had our part in destroying that kid's life.


Claudia: Well, look, maybe Michael's going to wake up.


Nikolas: In what five, ten years? Come on, that kid was robbed. Don't you think that we should pay for that in some way?


Johnny: Her name is Claudia Zacchara; she's about 5'5" with long black hair. Thanks. Careful, the walls have ears. Look, I had nothing to do with your father's arrest, you have to believe me.


Lulu: Do you think it was Claudia who set him up?


Johnny: She had no reason to.


Lulu: Well, that leaves your father, and why would he want to lose the only leverage he has over me?


Johnny: I was with him earlier today; he didn't mention a thing about your father.


Lulu: Would he?


Johnny: I honestly don't know.


Lulu: Okay, so now what? Or only reason to be together is gone. Am I supposed to pretend to break up with you?


Luke: So, you found me.


Tracy: It wasn't very hard. Criminals always return to the scene of the crime. Would you have looked for me if I hadn't?


Luke: What do you think?


Tracy: I think I don't want to know. I brought you some cash.


Luke: Oh, thank you, but there's no need for that.


Tracy: Why? What have you done?


Luke: Uh.


Tracy: Oh, my.


Luke: Isn't it lovely?


Tracy: Is that the -


Luke: The car money, liberated. You know, there's more than enough here for a traveling companion.


Tracy: I should have known. And is the lovely, limber Anna Devane is your adventure bunny of choice?


Luke: Hell no. My traveling companion of choice is you.


Luke: Come on Spankey. Let's do it. It will be the ride of our lives.


Tracy: Just pick up and go?


Luke: Just pick up and go. What- What this is my answer?


Tracy: [giggles] Are you going to stand there looking stupid or are we going to get the hell out of dodge? Let's go.


Luke: Yes!


Johnny: This might be a good time for you to get away.


Lulu: Away, where?


Johnny: Pick a place.


Lulu: Port Charles. I wanna be near you, Johnny. Unless you --


Johnny: I do, more than you know.


Lulu: Okay, so then we'll make it work. I'll go to your father and I'll pretend to -I'll pretend to work you for him.


Johnny: Look, we're not going to figure this out right now. My sister's missing; I've got to go find her.


Lulu: I think you under estimate your sister. Claudia strikes me as the woman who can talk her way out of just about anything.


Johnny: If she's alive to do it.


Jerry: Why would you throw Claudia Zacchara in my face?


Alexis: I thought you liked her.


Jerry: Oh, come on, I kissed Claudia because I saw you coming and I though it would be fun to make you jealous. Apparently, I succeeded.


Alexis: Get your hands off my truffles.


Jerry: Oh, come on. Give me a truffle.


Alexis: These truffles belong to me.


Jerry: Oh, yeah, right. You reject me, but you keep the truffles.


Alexis: They're mine and I don't like to share.


Claudia: I pay for what I did to Michael with a little piece of my soul every single time that I think of him. Maybe that's not as much as I deserve -- definitely. But, it hurts a lot, trust me. I don't want my brother to go down for this, to be drag down with me.


Nickolas: That's a convenient spin. Spare your brother, you spare yourself as well.


Claudia: You can throw me right back into the harbor right now. I'm dead serious. Or I'll -I'll save you the trouble, I'll dive in myself.


Nikolas: You'll die for your brother's life. You would?


Claudia: In a heartbeat, yeah. What would you do for yours?


[Knocking]


Alfred: Mr. Cassadine, the phone lines are working again.


Nikolas: Would you like to go to the hospital?


Claudia: I think I'm fine. What do you think?


Nikolas: I think you are going to be okay too. Thank you, Alfred, but I won't be needing to make any of those phone calls.


Alfred: Very good, sir.


Jason: You tried to warn me years ago. Choose violence and it takes over your life, no one you love is ever safe and you were right.


Robin: You didn't even remember your childhood. You had no frame of reference so how could you know what was best for Michael? No one could have predicted
something this unthinkable happening to him.


Jason: I could of listen to you and to Monica, you know?


Robin: Well, listen to me now. You gave Michael the most important thing that a parent can give to a child, and that is unconditional love and a sense of self-worth. That's not small. So, while you're sitting here beating yourself up about everything you did wrong, try to balance that. with remembering what you did right.


Carly: Jax?


Jax's voice: Dearest Carly, don't worry about me. I need to go away and figure out, what comes next, for me and for us. I love you.


>> On the next "general hospital" >>


Maxie: It is about time that I take something else away from Lulu.


Sonny: I can keep Morgan and keep him safe.


Kelly: You are already the latest internet craze.


Coleman: Action.


Patrick: I am going to be a father.
