[Moaning- Claudia]


[Doorbell]


Carly: Jax isn't here.


Kate: I'm actually here to see you, Carly.


Carly: I'm not really interested in anything you have to say.


Kate: Sonny can't bear to lose another child. I'm here to ask you to drop your plans of taking Morgan away from his father.


Sonny: I don't want to hear excuses, Diane. Can you take care of this or not?


Diane: What you are asking me to do is technically legal. It is also extremely ill advised.


Sonny: No matter how hard this is, I am not going to let Carly take away my children. I'm going to make my own plans for their future.


[laughing- Kelly & Robin]


Kelly: Than one of my other patients called that same afternoon to tell me about it.


Robin: I just started the blog a week ago.


Kelly: I know, and you are already the latest must-see internet craze. [Robin laughs] Four of my patients now consider themselves your biggest fans, you know that, right?


Robin: Stop it.


Kelly: Yeah.


Robin: I do not have fans.


Kelly: You totally do.


Robin: No.


Kelly: Mrs. Selman told me that it's like you're reading her mind, speaking for all pregnant women when they talk about, uh, the miseries of carry a child.


[Robin giggles]


Patrick: Ok, wait a minute. Miseries? In know you has little problem with the morning sickness, but I didn't think you hated being pregnant this much.


Robin: I don't. That wasn't what I was saying at all.


[Phone is ringing]


Maxie: "Crimson," please hold. --- "Crimson," please hold. "Crimson," thank you for holding, this is Maxie, how can I help you? Oh, Clarisse, thank you for getting back to
me so quickly. I need the revised numbers, because Kate wants to look over them before the conference call, but Lulu didn't bother to show up for work this morning I have no idea where she put them. Do you have an extra copy?


Spinelli: Greetings, Maximista. The Jackal was hoping them to me?


Maxie: You think you can e-mail them to me? You would really be saving my life. Oh, perfect. Thank you. The least I can do is call Federico and see if he could put you on the guest list for that new hot club in SoHo. Of course he would. Any friend of mine is a friend of Federico. Thank you so much. Bye.


Spinelli: The jackal means no disrespect. However, he feels it's his duty to inform Maximista that she is wasted on this high fashion huckster -


[Phone rings]


Maxie: Federico, I was just talking about you. That's so crazy.


Johnny: Where' Lulu?


Maxie :Hold on one second. I haven't seen Lulu all morning, but if she's not with you, that must mean she found some other guy to chase around.


Thug: Wait here. I'll go find Mr. Zacchara for you.


Lulu: Johnny, hey. I know we're supposed to meet up, but there's something I decide to take care of first. So, I will call you when I'm done.


Anthony: Why did you tip off the feds last night? You should know better than making a move like that without my consent.


Trevor: It's all in here. Spencer was costing us money, and he wasn't to be trusted.


Anthony: I need him! To keep Lulu with Johnny.


Trevor: Lulu is not going to keep your son in line, but Claudia will because Johnny will do anything to save her life.


Anthony: Lulu is a hell of a lot easier to control than my daughter, especially when Luke Spencer's freedom was at stake, but you had to go mess that up. You better pray
that this girl sticks with Johnny anyway.


Lulu: You had my father arrested, so if you think I'm going to stay with Johnny, you can forget it.


Carly: Michael wouldn't have gotten shot if you hadn't taken him to the warehouse. He wouldn't be lying in a hospital bed right now, unable to move or speak if Sonny hadn't pushed you out of the way instead of Michael, so don't come in my house and tell me what's best for my children when you started this whole nightmare to begin with.


Kate: You want to hate me, Carly. Okay, that's fine. But don't punish Sonny by taking away his child. Morgan needs his father.


Carly: Morgan needs to be safe, Kate. Safe and loved, and that can't happen with Sonny.


Kate: But, Carly, you knew the dangers, and you chose to marry Sonny. You chose to have him adopt Michael. You chose to get pregnant and have Morgan, and those things cannot be changed.


Carly: No, they can't. Maybe they can't , okay. But, I can't let that happen to Morgan. Michael's paying for my mistake and I have to do better for Morgan.


Kate: Morgan is as much Sonny's as he is yours, right? So, can you find a way-can you find a way to stop all this fighting and come to some sort of understanding for Morgan's best interest?


Sonny: Giving up my rights to Michael and Morgan isn't going to keep them safe. The whole already knows that they're my children, so I don't understand what everybody -


Diane: I understand that. I understand that. Listen to me. Try to see this from Carly's perspective. She's just had to put her oldest son in a permanent care facility. She's acting out of grief. She's not thinking clearly. Frankly, neither are you. Now as your attorney, it is my advise that you reframe from any drastic measures. Give yourself some time to grieve, to process what has happened.


Sonny: You're my attorney, right?


Diane: Mm-hmm.


Sonny: You're not my shrink. Just -- you get paid to do what I tell you to do, Diane.


Diane: As your attorney I am paid to advise you, to warn you of any potentially negative consequences of your actions. Now if you proceed with this -


Sonny: I don't need a lecture right now. Please, Diane, draw up the damn papers.


Diane: Will do, as long as I am clear that you understand exactly what it is that you are asking me to do, because once I set this in motion, there is no going back.


Nickolas: Are sure you want to do this?


Nadine: I'm here, aren't I?


Nikolas: If -- if I pressured you in any way, I apologize. It's just I thought I could handle the situation. She needs more help than I'm able to give her.


Nadine: Then why are we still standing here? Thank you.


Claudia: Who are you?


Nadine: Nadine Crowell.


Nikolas: She's here to help you.


Nadine: I'm a nurse at General Hospital.


Claudia: Well, I'm fine. I don't -- I mean, it's just a flesh wound. You really didn't have to come all the way down here.


Nadine: Well, as long as I'm here, might as well take a look. Let me see. How did this happen?


Claudia: I'm accident prone.


Nadine: The wound is pretty deep. Good news is that you started to clot.


Claudia: What's the bad news?


Nadine: Someone tried to kill you.


Claudia: Look, I don't know how much Nik told you. No one else can know I'm here, okay?


Nadine: I promised Nikolas that I wouldn't say anything and I won't.


Maxie: You're welcome to wait, but Lulu comes in late almost every morning when she bothers to come in at all. The only reason she took this job was to piss me off. She
clearly has no interest in fashion or the fact that Kate needs some figures pulled for a conference call that happens to be in less than an hour.


Johnny: I just got a message from Lulu, and I have a pretty good idea where she is. If you could cover for her, I'd really appreciate it.


Maxie: I would love to help you with anything you need, but I think what's best for everyone is that Kate just fire Lulu and put her out of her misery.


Johnny: Your misery?


Spinelli: Despite the extensive friction between the clashing blond ones, um, the Jackal is most confident that Maximista's kind, yet will hidden soul, will move her to
cover for fair Lulu in this, her hour of need.


Maxie: What about my needs? Why should I do all the work and get nothing in return?


Johnny: If you cover for Lulu, I'll owe you a favor, any time, no questions asked.


Maxie: I think you got yourself a deal.


Spinelli: The Jackal is most confused. I thought -- if Maximista is so enamored with the debonair designer, why is she so flirtatious with the mob prince?


Maxie: Because Johnny is smoking hot, not to mention insanely rich, and I think that, yeah, it is about time that I take something else away Lulu.


Lulu: I did everything you asked. I made Johnny happy, pretended to love him, all to keep my dad out of prison, but you decide to go to the cops anyway. So, you're going to have to find somebody else to work your son. I'm done.


Trevor: It probably will best for lulu -


Anthony: Shh! You may want to rethink that.


Lulu: Really? What part of I'm done don't you understand?


Anthony: Girlie, you don't come into my house and tell me what's going on. I make the rules. You don't follow them your family pays the price.


Lulu: Well, my dad's already skipped out of town, so there's nothing else you can do to him.


Anthony: You will stay with my son. You will convince Johnny that you love him, and you will keep him happy. And, if you don't I will see to it that your brother the cop dies. Maybe in the line of duty because then he could be buried with all the bells and whistles, the flag over the casket and the speeches by the commissioner and the mayor and a 21-gun salute. Salute. It would be a funeral for a real hero.


Lulu: Don't you dare hurt Lucky.


Anthony: You hurt Johnny and I'll have to. Are we clear?


Trevor: She's just like her father, unpredictable. Why are you giving yourself a headache? Take her out now.


Anthony: It's too late. Johnny's already attached. Whatever, my son wants he gets. Until I decide different, not you.


Carly: I don't want Morgan anywhere near his father. When one of sonny's enemies tries to take him out, Kate.


Kate: You know, Carly I tried to give you the benefit of the doubt. I told myself that you were in shock and you were grieving and you needed time, but it's becoming more
and more apparent. It's not about what's in Morgan's best interest. You blame Sonny and you want to punish him.


Carly: Why would I want to punish him? What's that going to do? Is it going to bring Michael back. He's still going to be in a coma, trapped in his body, unable to get out, Kate. So.


Kate: And, Sonny is grieving the same way you are Carly. What I don't understand is why you would want to add to that by taking away his other son.


Carly: Ok, all right, I get that it's breaking your heart to see Sonny all torn up, but I think you concern is misplaced. Because once Sonny's done crying going to change, he will go back to business as usual, and when he does, he's not going to want one reminder of the night Michael was shot. You will be replaced by another woman. I don't really care. I don't give a damn about what Sonny does with his life or who he chooses to share it with as long as Morgan isn't a part of it. Get the hell out of my house.


Diane: Sonny, you need to take some time and think about this. Consider all your options before you rush headlong into anything.


Sonny: I know what I'm doing.


Diane: Well, I hope so because once the paperwork is filed, you won't be able to change your mind.


Sonny: We cannot go back to the way things were, Diane. Not after what happened to Michael. Giving up Morgan is not going to keep him safe. My enemies already know
that he's my child. It's going to -- he -- he's going to be confused and he's going feel abandoned. He's too young to understand why Michael had to go away. If I disappear now, right? He's going to think that he did something wrong. I don't want my little boy thinking any of this was his fault.


Diane: Okay. Here's a novel thought. Why don't you try telling all of this to Carly before you rush into an irrevocable legal action?


Sonny: Diane. Do you not think that I've already tried talking to Carly? She doesn't listen. She's too angry. I got to do what I think is right.


Diane: But you seem convinced that this is the only way to keep your family safe. Have you even considered the impact this decision will have on your life?


Robin: When I first found out that I was pregnant I had no idea what to expect. I -I just knew that all of a sudden, my body wasn't mine anymore. There was this little
being inside dictating everything that I did, what to eat, when to pee, and I started this blog as a way to reach out to other mothers. To share my own experiences, but also get some advice on how to deal with my pregnancy.


Kelly: All of my patients who have watched love that Robin just tells it like it is. You know, all the -- all the little frustrations, the big ones, including you.


Robin: Well, your patients must be browsing another blog or misunderstanding mine because so far, my experience has been all inspiring and positive, for the most part. If I mentioned you at all, it was just in passing, as in, "my baby's father, yada, yada, yada."


Epiphany: Dr. Scorpio, the lab has some questions about blood work that you ordered.


Patrick: Hey, what's Robin saying about me?


Kelly: Oh, no, no, trust me.


Nikolas: How is she?


Nadine: There's no sign of infection. She could still use some stitches, though..


Claudia: She's sitting right here. Am I going to make it without them?


Nadine: As long as you stay off your feet and get plenty of rest.


Nikolas: What about, like, antibiotics or -


Nadine: Of course it's can't get a prescription without seeing a doctor.


Claudia: That's not an option.


Nadine: So your best case is to keep it clean an move around too much. So no tossing or turning or bouncing.


Claudia: Bouncing?


Nadine: Just don't do anything that will aggravate the wound.


Nikolas: Thank you.


Nadine: Glad I could help.


Claudia: You know, you could help a lot more if you forgot that you ever saw me here.


Nikolas: She's given me her word. You can trust her, okay. I trust her. Nadine, I'll see you out.


Nadine: Is this your ring? The one you shared with Emily?


[Knock on door]


Spinelli: Greetings, um, the Jackal received your most urgent message and has responded post haste, but it's -- it's still uncertain as to what the nature of your distress is.


Carly: Look, I need to find Jax as soon as possible. It's -- it's an emergency.


Spinelli: Does the Valkyrie believe that her white knight was abducted by unidentified beings of darkness? If so, Stone Cold should be alerted immediately.


Carly: No, no -- no, Jax is gone because of me. Because I wanted to go alone with Sonny to Michael to Manhattan, and Jax offered to follow, but I wouldn't let him, which is totally stupid, and I don't know why I thought for one minute that Sonny would be reasonable and unselfish and sign his rights to Morgan away. I mean, I should have known this was going to happen.


Spinelli: I'm sorry that your white knight in Aussie armor would get up lose-- his bearings on the way back from Michael's new facility?


Carly: No, he never went. That's the problem. He wanted to go, but I told him no, and I pushed him away, and now he thinks I don't need him, which is untrue, because
right now I need him more than ever.


Diane: If you go through with this decision, it's going to affect a heck of a lot more than just your relationship with Carly. You will have to make some fundamental changes in the way you live your life.


Sonny: Enough with the warning, Diane. Just draw up the papers, thank you.


Diane: Fine. I'll have a draft ready for your approval tomorrow.


Max: Uh, boss has been in a terrible mood all morning. I hope he didn't come down too hard on you.


Diane: Well, your concern is very sweet, Max, but I am more than capable of handling Sonny and his dreadful temper. Heaven knows I've had enough practice lately with him appointing himself keeper of my personal life and dictating who and what I'm allowed to do. If I want to see you, I'm going to.


Max: Well, I don't care what the boss says. If I want to see you. I'm gonna.


Diane: Well, I'm very glad to hear that. It would be a shame to let Sonny ruin all of our fun.


Max: You know you were right, Ms. Miller. It was time for me to man up.


Diane: I'm so glad to hear that, Max.


Max: You want to get away with me this weekend? What do you think?


Max. Can I help you?


Johnny: I need to speak with sonny.


[Knock on door]


Max: Hey, boss, Johnny Zacchara's here to see you.


Sonny: Let him in.


Max: Come on in.


Sonny: What do you want?


Johnny: My sister's been missing since last night.


Sonny: Is this where you try to kill me again?
