Robin: That means go away.


[Knock on door]


Robin: Listen, my blog has absolutely nothing to do with you. You're being ri-


Anna: Hi, robin.


Robin: Mom.


Patrick: If her mom is around, ignore her; pretend she doesn't have a mom. Especially if she's hot and I'm talking secret-agent-in-thigh-high-boots hot. Now, if you're a single guy like me, who fell in love with the woman who is now carrying your baby. Colman?


Coleman: What? I'm here, man. Keep going. I'm here.


Patrick: If you're a single guy like me, who fell in love with the woman who is now carrying your baby, and you're trying to do the right thing, you're trying to man up about it,
well, there's a couple things you need to know. Number one; everything you say is wrong, everything. Everything you do is suspect. Now, if you were foolish enough to
actually be honest with the woman and tell her you're not sure you're ready to have a baby well, she is going to use that to shut you out and its going to make you furious.
But, it's somewhat of a relief, especially if you're not sure you're really ready to be


[Knocking door]


Man: Johnny Zacchara.


Johnny: Who is it?


Man: It's Lucky Spencer. Open the door.


Lucky: So what's the deal with you and my sister?


Jason: What happened with Michael?


Carly: Michael's fine, except for being shot in the head. Morgan, well, Morgan's going to be perfectly safe because Sonny has a big plan. Go ahead, tell -- tell Jason how you're going to make everything all better.


Anna: Scones for tea.


Robin: You don't have tea. You have cocktails.


Anna: Yeah, these days I realize I need a pick me up before dinner rather than something to slow me down.


Robin: Oh, you were on assignment and you were undercover as someone sensible, and you didn't have time to change, right?


Anna: Oh, no, you know the coup never happened. I didn't have to parachute in or do any evasive maneuvers or anything. It's just as well, 'cause, you know, my back never
really recovered from that upside-down-swinging-drinking thing with Luke Spencer.


Robin: Mom, you said that you didn't hurt yourself that badly.


Anna: I know. It did seem important at the time to save face. However, I'm beginning to face reality now, and I'm considering putting in for a desk job.


Robin: I don't that's the best idea.


Anna: No, nor do I., But it is sounding better day by day.


Robin: Mom, when you were the police commissioner, you were out in the field than any the other detectives.


Anna: I know. That was years ago, and a person evolves.


Robin: Ok, just because you're about to bet mother to someone who's about to be a mother.


Anna: You can say it, you know.


Robin: It doesn't mean-


Anna: A grandmother.


Robin: It doesn't mean you're getting old.


Patrick: Yeah, I'm not oppose to kids per say. I think it'd be fun to teach him how to drive a go-kart, to, um, play video games and hang out. Unless of course it's a girl, then I don't know play dress up and go to the museum. But the point is, it's going to start out as a baby, and, you know, I don't even know how involved men are supposed to be with that. Thousands of years ago, we would have been out hunting. Men need to explore, to check out the lay of the land, to, uh, to bag the prey, to bring home the bacon if you will. That's--That's instinct. That's hard-wired. And-and that's not going to change just because a women gets pregnant. You know, we…men roam. That's what we do. Women build nests. See, and -- no, women -- women are amazing. They can -- they can settle anywhere. Settle in your apartment, in your car, at your work and it has nothing do with you. It's just they way they think. You know, it probably would have been a lot easier living in caves. No expectations, no, uh -- maybe that's why love was invented. Two kind of, uh, have a common ground with hunters and nesters 'cause love is the glue. Love is the concrete. Love is the quicksand -- love is --- love is the baby.


Johnny: I appreciated that your family is worried about Lulu. They think I'm bad for her. I'm not going to argue with that, but it's her choice.


Lucky: That was before the Zacchara's set up my father for money laundering.


Johnny: I didn't frame Luke.


Lucky: Your father or his people did.


Johnny: I'm not going to deny that, but I will protect Lulu.


Lucky: I believe you wanted to. You seem like a decent enough guy but the problem is, your life. In a way I kinda feel sorry for you. You're just a glorified prisoner. But I don't
want my sister involved with you.


Lulu: Well, it's little too late for that.


Claudia: I appreciate the change in scenery, I think. Oh, thank you. Uh, why do you live in such a creepy place?

Nikolas: [Chuckles] Well, there's a sitting room up on the third floor. It's got plenty of windows. You're welcome to go up there.


Claudia: Um, no, no. This is fine, thank you, in a bride of Dracula sort of way. I realize I'm lucky to be here. I do, and I'm lucky to be anywhere.


Nikolas: You're welcome to stay as long as you follow Nadine's rules, and that's that you don't get up. That wound needed stitches, you know?


Claudia: I know. I will be careful and thank you for not calling the police because this whole thing is way too complicated to explain.


Nikolas: Yeah. Are you sure that you don't remember who stabbed you?


Claudia: Like I said, a lot of people want me dead.


Nikolas: Yeah, any of them have anything with Michael's shooting? Maybe somebody wants revenge against you for sending Ian after Sonny?


Claudia: If Ian had done his job right, I'd be a hero in some circles instead of the reason why Michael Corinthos won't wake up.


Jason: Carly, let me take you home.


Sonny: Yeah, that's a good idea -


Carly: No. Tell him what you just told me.


Sonny: It's business, Carly.


Carly: No, it's not. It's our child. Tell Jason how you won't give up Morgan even if that means to keep him safe. Tell him.


Jason: You know, I can't be a part of this fight right now. Let's go.


Sonny: Wait, Jason, I need you to look over some papers that Diane's working on at the moment.


Carly: Wait till you hear this one.


Sonny: I'm turning over the entire organization to you. I'm going to keep the coffee business, the casino, the island. I'm going to give you. You can have the rest of the
offshore casinos. I want you to take over the business. I can't do it anymore.


Carly: In other words, Sonny's walking away, and he's making you the target.


Anna: Well, this is nice, isn't it?


Robin: Oh, it's a little tame.


Anna: Yeah, I'm just facing up to facts, Robin, that's all. You know, I can't go around kung- fuing everybody including your boyfriend, forever. So, let me do this. I can do the
scones because, you know, I'm British.


[Robin laughs]


Anna: So, you want butter?


Robin: Oh, yes, please. Lots of butter.


Anna: All right, lots of butter it is. And jam?


Robin: Of course. Oh, I got this on the Farmer's Market on Division Street.


Anna: Oh, great. Let's see. Mm, strawberry-rhubarb.


Robin: I'll get it.


Anna: No, I got it, I got it, I got it. I just -- oh! Ow. I have butter on my hands.


Robin: It's probably just a vacuum. Voila.


Anna: So, have you picked up any gardening tips from this farmers market?


Robin: Um, not really, why?


Anna: I'm thinking of putting in some window boxes in my flat.


Robin: Mom, you are in your flat no more than four days the entire year. I think the last time I was there, you were using carry-on luggage for a coffee table.


Anna: I know, but once I really move in and buy some proper furniture. I can put in whatever it is you put in window boxes and then I can bake on Sundays.


Robin: Ok, now you're scaring me.


Anna: No. I want to be a proper grandmother. Once the baby's born, I'm going to put photographs everywhere. It's a really cute flat, you know. It's so sweet, and it's, like, two
blocks from headquarters. I can walk to work, if it's not raining and if my rheumatism isn't acting up.


Robin: You don't have rheumatism.


Anna: I know, I'm just trying.


[Telephone rings]


Anna: Ok, whoever this is, I'm not going anywhere, all right? Ok. Hello [Grunts] Who? Chip! Oh, my god, how are you? How's the tour? Yeah. It's Eli Love's tour manager.


Robin: Ooh, where are they?


Anna: I don't know. Where are you? Rio de Janeiro. Wow. Yeah, oh, backstage passes. Thank you. No, thank you, um. Eli has two days off in Rio? Hmm, no I can't I'm busy.
Yeah, I really -- but thanks, you know. It's really cool that you called. Send Eli my love. Next time for sure, yeah. Bye.


Robin: Hello?


Anna: What?


Robin: What is wrong with you?


Anna: He doesn't want to party with a grandmother.


Robin: Ok, that's it. We're getting you a real drink.


Anna: Oh, thank god.


Lulu: Lucky, dad may be on the run again, but his rules still apply. I make my own choices.


Lucky: Yeah, and I'm your brother. And that gives me the right to speak out when your choices are destructive. Lulu: Since when?


Lucky: Well, you spoke out when I got addicted to pills.


Lulu: So you're comparing Johnny and me to when you were guzzling pills, sleeping with Maxie, destroying your marriage, and almost getting yourself killed


Lucky: It doesn't matter whether it's boos or drugs, or even a boyfriend.


Lulu: [laughs] This is so ridiculous. I don't even know where to start, right now.


Lucky: Because you can't even stay away from him when you know you should. He's affecting your life and your future in a negative way.


Lulu: Really? 'Cause, um, I'm working at a major fashion magazine right now.


Lucky: Then you tell me how many times you almost died since you met him.


Lulu: What are you planning on doing? Sending me to Shadybrook for relationship rehab?


Lucky: Well, I'm afraid that's where you're headed. Just like mom.


Claudia: You know, nobody knows that I was involved in what happened to Michael except for Johnny and know you.


Nickolas: You don't think Jason Morgan figured it out by now?


Claudia. No. Trust me if Jason knew I wouldn't have crawled my way onto the docks at Spoonmere, or was it spoon-


Nikolas: It's Windermere. We're on Spoon Island.


Claudia: Right. Right. Anyway, I'd be dead.


Nikolas: You're so matter-of-fact about it, like someone trying to kill you is an everyday occurrence.


Claudia: It kind of is.


Nikolas: Why is that?


Claudia: I. I-I'm a Zacchara for one thing. And I'm not a very nice person, I guess. I mean, look, in all fairness, in my own defense, I wasn't raised to be. I mean, mob life doesn't exactly bring out the kindness and compassion in good old mom and dad, you know?


Nikolas: I do, do. Family can be a little complicated sometimes.


Claudia: I'm not complaining. A lot of people had it a lot worse. It's just that some people can escape their families and some can't.


Nikolas: Why can't you?


Claudia: My little brother Johnny. He needs me.


Nikolas: For what?


Claudia: Well, he's the next in line.


Nikolas: Ah, yes. The bright shining future of the Zacchara's, right?


Claudia: How did you know?


Sonny: All you have to do is take your name off the coffee business and sign all your interests to me. I know what I'm giving you is a lot more valuable, but it's not worth it to
me any more. I got too much to lose. I got to get out.


Carly: This is unbelievable. If you want to start running the business, do it. I'm sure you would be great at it. It doesn't change anything.


Sonny: It will.


Carly: You have been a criminal for most of your life. You have an endless supply of enemies who aren't going to just walk away because you sign everything to Jason. How many times have you told me you just can't walk away?


Sonny: I'll find a different way.


Carly: That's wishful thinking, Sonny. It's magical thinking. Just like taking Michael to the warehouse without protection.


Sonny: I don't want that to happen again, Carly. That's why I'm doing what I'm doing, signing over the business to Jason.


Carly: No, you need to sign over Michael and Morgan. That's the only way to keep them safe, and you know it. Sonny: Jason. I need your help on this. Will you help me?


Coleman: You know, sometimes it is a good idea, dude, to, um, wait a few before you hit send.


Patrick: Why wait? Robin wants to tell the truth about being pregnant. I'm going to do the same about being a dad.


Coleman: Whatever, man.


Anna: All right. Oh, hi, Patrick. Oh, you're such a cute boy!


Patrick: What are you undercover today?


Robin: That's what I thought.


Patrick: What is that, middle-school math teacher look today?


Anna: No. I'm a proud grandmother, and I thought that I should dress accordingly, that's all.


Coleman: What can I get for you?


Anna: Oh, right, um, Cherri.


Coleman: Let me see if I got Cherri.


Robin: You promised you were going to order a martini.


Anna: I know, but gin can be hard on the stomach.


Coleman: Well, hey, I can make on with vodka, if you want.


Robin: Once you survived the Arctic Tundra for three months and had raw fish and drank rum. I'm pretty sure you can handle a martini.


Anna: That's all behind me now. I just want a little Cherri.


Coleman: No crazy just Cherri.


Robin: Lemonade for me, please.


Coleman: You got it, girl. She's smokingly hot.


Anna: Alright you guys. Now -now that I got you two together I want to make something clear, set something straight. Patrick, you don't have to marry.


Lucky: Did Lulu tell you about our mother?


Lulu: Yes, I have.


Lucky: She was a lot like Lulu, brave, smart, compassionate. Did you happen to mention how dad dragged her around the world?


Lulu: And she went crazy partially because of him. Yes, I told him that!


Johnny: I know Laura's in Shadybrook.


Lucky: I don't want you to wind up in a rocker next to her because you couldn't walk away from this guy when you had a chance.


Lulu: Lucky is being manipulative and completely unfair.


Johnny: Doesn't mean he's wrong.


Claudia: Johnny's a lot better than I'll ever be.


Nikolas: Why do you say that?


Claudia: He's my half-brother. When Johnny was born, I promised that I would always love him and protect him. But, my dad got kinda of crazy. He started flipping out, and it
made it really a lot more difficult, and then John's mother died, and Johnny need me. But, daddy thought I was babying him. So, he sent me away to live in Italy and Johnny grew up alone, you know, mostly with servants and my father.


Nikolas: So would you say that Johnny is sort of the, uh, the prince of the Zacchara's, so to speak?


Claudia: Yeah, I guess that's good way of putting it.


Nikolas: Yeah, well, I guess I know a little bit about that.


Claudia: Why?


Nikolas: My full name is Prince Nikolas Mikhail Stavrosovich Cassadine.


Claudia: You're a prince? Seriously?


Nikolas: Since the day I was born I stood to inherit the Cassadine fortune. Here I am. Yeah, I grew up isolated on this little island in Greece. My grandmother and my uncle,
they just battle each other over my inheritance my whole life. My grandmother, she's actually criminally insane too. Yeah, she's tried to kill me on several occasions.


Claudia: Oh, my god. She'd fit right in with the Zacchara's.


Nikolas: Yeah. She's driven my insanity, money, and tradition.


Claudia: So, Nikky, are you as crazy as the rest of them?


Nikolas: [Chuckles] Oh, I don't know. Some people think that I am somewhat peculiar.


Claudia: What? Because you live on an island, alone, in a castle filled with stuff that looks like it came straight out of a Dracula movie? Go figure.


Carly: You seen Jax?


Jerry: I just got a message that he left town. And, the time seems a bit odd. I understand that you just put Michael in a long term facility.


Carly: Yeah, he's in the, uh, aftercare institute of Manhattan.


Jerry: I'm just surprised that he didn't stay around to support you, Carly. You ask him to leave? Am I prying?


Carly: I wanted him to stay. I'm not so sure that he knew that.


Jerry: Would you like me to track him down for you?


Max: Mrs. C looked upset when she left. I mean, she's grieving. The timing couldn't be more wrong. She needs to understand that nothing will ever change the way I feel about her. I hold her in the highest regards.


Diane: Ha, ha. And whom are we holding in the highest regard today?


Milo: Carly. Yep, Max is still in love with her.


[Max scoffs]


Max: Um. Well, he-um.


Sonny: Situation with the casino partners is stable, so you'll be able to -


Jason: Sonny, what are talking about? This isn't realistic at all.


Sonny: You've taken over before.


Jason: The first thing you told me when I came to work for you that this is not a business that you can quit. The only way to get out is to die or disappear. You tried
disappearing once. It didn't work out. Are you telling me you want to disappear again?


Sonny: I'm not leaving home. I'm not leaving my children or Kate.


Jason: Well, then, you're not leaving the business.
