Liasonite Lynda Liason History Queen
Maxie: We have a situation with christiana.
Lulu: Who's christiana?
Maxie: Do you pay any attention to your job at all? Christiana marcos. She's the model for our fall preview spread.
Lulu: Ok, what's the problem, maxie?
Maxie: Apparently, she just threw a water bottle at her dresser.
Lulu: Well, she's probably hungry. Have someone give her a cheeseburger. She'll be fine.
Maxie: Really? That is your solution? Do you know anything about artists or how they work?
Lulu: Christiana marcos is not an artist. She is an underfed, spoiled-rotten model who should get down on her knees and thank God every day she's getting paid a flipping fortune to have her stupid picture taken in overpriced clothes and get over herself.
Maxie: I can't believe i'm stuck in this office with you. Let me see that call sheet. Let's see if it's right.
Lulu: It is right.
Spinelli: Greetings, blonde ones. I see my favorite friends are functioning as a well-oiled, lovely, two-headed machine. You look especially bright today. Might the jackal assume you have suffered no ill effects from the night we spent together?
Lulu: I'm sorry.
What did you just say?
Sam: Hey, hi, troops. Hi, what have -- what have you done?
Spinelli: Done?
Sam: I -- i don't know. I don't know if it's -- if it's your hair or -- did you do something different with your hair -- your shirt? I like it. It's kind of hot, don't you think?
Carly: All right, well, you know what? Thanks, milo. I'll catch up with jason later. Ok.
I wasn't expecting you. Are you here to pick up your stuff, or are you staying?
Jax: Oh, that's entirely up to you.
Ric: I've been in port charles a lot longer than you have. I've studied the dynamics of the corinthos organization. I was part of it for a while. My advice comes from the direct knowledge of how these people work. You have to move against them now before jason has time to consolidate his position.
Anthony: If we do what you suggest, we have to be ready to absorb corinthos property immediately. I'm not sure we're ready. Maybe in a few weeks.
Ric: Oh, it's going to be too late by then, tony. Look, i say we hit now before jason has an opportunity to mount an effective defense.
Anthony: John, you're awful quiet. Weigh in here. When do we hit morgan?
Johnny: We don't.
Diane: You know, i've told you that settlement is not going to work for either party. I have to call you back. Whoa, whoa, whoa, milo. You've got to wrap that.
Milo: Wrap it in what?
Diane: Newspaper or a towel or a blanket or something. You've got to protect it. You don't want to send it to sonny in pieces.
Max: Yeah, who knows what sentimental value that vase has to mr. C., Huh? Just because this isn't the boss's office anymore doesn't mean we don't show his things respect Use your shirt if you have to.
Bernie: Wait, wait, wait, here.
Milo: Thanks, bernie.
Diane: Oh, good, i'm glad you're here, because i have some legal matters that need your --
max: I need to know how you want the guards reassigned --
[everyone talks at once]
jason: Hold on, hold on. I'll address all of your concerns. I just need a moment alone, please.
Max: Ok.
lulu: I'm sorry, we -- we really need to backtrack. Did -- did i hear you say you spent the night with maxie?
Maxie: Oh, it must suck being you. Every single guy you think of as your own personal property eventually finds their way to little old me.
Lulu: One question, spinelli. Why?
Spinelli: Maximista was kind enough to tend to the jackal after -- at her place of residence after mr. Corinthos sir slammed his -- well, slammed my head there into that structure.
Lulu: He attacked you?
Maxie: Sonny is a barbarian. Of course, spinelli didn't have time to react, much less defend himself, not that he could.
Sam: Look, apparently, spinelli gave some unasked for advice to sonny about morgan.
Lulu: Oh, well, that makes sense.
Maxie: Oh, so you're condoning what sonny did?
Lulu: No, i am just saying, obviously after what happened to michael, sonny's kids are a hot button right now, so -- especially if spinelli, however unintentionally, is implying that sonny's not good for his kids or something.
Maxie: That doesn't excuse the fact that sonny rammed spinelli's head into a wall.
Sam: Your modesty is confusing your friends. I have no doubt that you could have obviously defended yourself, but out of pure obligation to sonny, you stayed quiet because of his grief, right?
Spinelli: Exactly. The jackal deeply respects the pain of others.
Maxie: No, no, no, no, no. That's not how it happened at all. Sonny attacked, and spinelli was paralyzed.
Johnny: Jason has been sonny's enforcer for years. Do you really think that he is not prepared for us? That he doesn't already have a retaliation plan in place? Sonny and jason have not controlled this territory for as long as they have by being stupid and unprepared.
Anthony: My son makes a good point. How do you suggest that we handle it?
Johnny: Well, the truce is in place. Jason will honor it. He knows that war is bad for business. I say that we honor it, too. By the time that we need to move our resources into port charles, then we reevaluate.
Anthony: Hmm, i see.
Ric: I'm sorry. With all due respect, i think you're thinking with your heart and not your head.
Anthony: What the hell does that mean?
Ric: Anthony, come on. He is involved with lulu spencer. Lulu spencer has very close ties to both sonny and jason. I think she might get a little angry with john if jason was to turn up dead. It's definitely a relationship killer, isn't it? Look, your son's love life not withstanding, the decisions that need to be made here are what's best for business, and that is abundantly clear. We hit jason now while he's vulnerable.
Jason: Let's get to work.
Max: Yes.
Jason: Milo, i want you to finish packing these boxes. I want you to take them over to sonny's, ok? I want you to offer him guards, but expect that he's going to turn them down.
Max: You're going to need your own guards. Now, i spent last night reorganizing the staff here. It's going to be a tighter detail, but i think we've got it pretty much working.
Jason: This is not -- this is not going to work.
Max: You don't like the guys that i picked?
Jason: One thing you all need to understand, sonny ran his business his way. That's not mine, ok? I'm going to do everything i can to keep the violence to a minimum so everybody can try to have a semi-normal life, but i'm not going to be a prisoner of this business. I take care of my own security. I take my own risks. If anyone has a problem with that, i will accept your resignation right now.
Jax: You made it clear that our marriage isn't a priority to you.
Carly: That's not true.
Jax: Well, that's why i'm here. You know, maybe i misunderstood, want to hear you out.
Carly: Michael getting shot made me realize there's nothing more important than my kids and to keep them safe, emotionally and physically. I need to give them the best life i possibly can, no matter what i have to sacrifice, and up until yesterday, i thought the only way i could do that was to take morgan and run -- run and hide somewhere where sonny couldn't find us.
Jax: So what changed yesterday?
Carly: Sonny had these signed and notarized. He's given up all rights on michael and morgan. He's out of their lives and mine for good.
Jax: Ok, where does that leave Us?
Sam: Spinelli is so naturally sweet, it's easy to miss the tough guy underneath. I mean, he could totally handle himself. I've seen him in action. Remember when we were being chased by alcazar's thugs, and it was me, you, and jason, and, well, whatever -- anyways, he was nothing short of incredible.
Maxie: Hey, you don't have to convince me that spinelli rocks. His cyber skills are, like, life-changing. I know exactly why jason keeps him on the payroll. Who cares if spinelli is useless in a fight? I mean, that's what they keep jason around for anyway, to do all the dangerous stuff.
Spinelli: The jackal continues to learn from the master, and self-defense sessions are not out of the question.
Lulu: Yeah, well, as long as jason doesn't let you anywhere near his gun. Remember last summer, you shot yourself in the foot. Nobody wants that situation again.
Maxie: Oh.
Kate: Hop to, ladies. I need updates on the run-throughs for the premier issue. Thank you. Oh, spinelli. Should i be worried?
Spinelli: No, i -- i'm here merely in a social capacity.
Kate: Oh, good. Well, now i'm going to have to ask you to leave. We're not having a party, and is there something i can help you with?
Sam: Yeah, i just came to -- to see the place. My mother told me all about the --
kate: Your mother?
Sam: Alexis davis.
Kate: Sam!
Sam: Yes.
Kate: You know what? Under any other circumstances, i would love to --
sam: No, please, i completely understand. You're busy. Everyone's busy. We are, too. We have got a ton of things to do, so thanks. Bye.
Kate: Bye. So, where were we, ladies?
Man: I'm having a problem with my meds.
Elizabeth: Ok, what's the problem?
Man: I usually see dr. Sallick.
Elizabeth: Oh, he's on vacation, but i can pull you up on the computer. What medication are you on?
Man: Wouldn't it be listed?
Elizabeth: You don't know the name of it?
Man: They're for blood flow, but my last prescription didn't work at all. It's even making me sick to my stomach.
Elizabeth: Well, it would help if you brought in the bottle, but i can set you up another appointment. Dr. Sheila mason has an opening at four today.
Man: I'd rather see someone else.
Epiphany: You know, nurse webber is trying to help you, but she can't read your mind,so what medication are we talking about here?
Man: It's for e.D., Erectile dysfunction, but the new prescription isn't working.
Epiphany: Oh, i'm sorry about that. If you don't want to see dr. Mason --
man: You know what? Forget it.
Lucky: What was that about?
Elizabeth: Faulty meds.
Lucky: It's been happening a lot lately.
Carly: I know i hurt you, and i'm sorry about that. I -- my only defense is that my son was gravely injured, and -- and maybe i didn't handle that as well as i should have, but that doesn't mean i don't love you desperately.
Jax: You have the -- you have the absolute right to get through what happened to michael any way you can. If that means lashing out at me, i can handle it If it means leaning on sonny and jason, that's your prerogative, but you also have to understand what it looks like to me, that our marriage, the bond that's supposed to exist between a husband and wife is lacking on some fundamental level.
Jax: No, it is true, because when things bottom out, at the very moment when you're supposed to turn to your husband for support and -- and comfort, you go somewhere else, and it's not criticism. It's a fact, and yes, it makes me question our marriage, not enough to pack my bags and walk out, 'cause i'm still too invested in this. I'm still too in love with you, but at the same time, i'm not going to pretend that everything's ok, when it's obviously not.
Anthony: You seem a little too anxious about going after jason. It gives me pause.
Ric: Look, i just know how rare this opportunity is. Jason's not a natural leader, anthony. He's a follower, all right? That's why his moments in the proverbial sun never last very long. Eventually, he always turns the reins right back over to sonny, so we need to take jason down, dismantle the organization, so that sonny doesn't have anything to come back to.
Johnny: I agree with you. Over-anxious is a perfect way to describe it. Ric's hoping that he's going to force you into a decision before you realize why he's pushing so hard. Your new attorney's got an agenda of his own. Ric hates jason for being more of a brother to sonny than he'll ever be -- reason number one. Reason number two: Ric hates jason for hooking up with elizabeth webber, ric's ex-wife. Don't let ric push you into acting out his own motives for revenge.
Jason: I want everyone working under the assumption that the zaccharas are going to make a move soon, ok? So we need to be ready on all fronts. I want you to change the shipping routes, i want you to shake up this -- you know what to do. Just -- just take care of it for me.
Max: I'm on it, boss.
Diane: Max, max, just hold up a moment. I would like max to hear this, because i'm going to be asking a question on behalf of both of us. You are in charge now, and as you mentioned earlier, your policies and your rules are different from sonny's, so i am simply wondering if --
jason: Diane, diane, i do not care what you and max do on your own time, ok? But right now, i need max's attention focused elsewhere.
Diane: Understood. All right, the first thing we need to deal with is the fact that you are going to come under increased scrutiny from various government agencies --
jason: Hold on, hold on. First thing i need to do is have a conversation with bernie that you do not want to hear.
Diane: Right. My retainer covers waiting in the hallway.
Jason: Thank you.
Diane: So that's where i will be when you need me.
Jason: Bernie, your voicemail sounded serious.
Bernie: Oh, yeah, the zaccharas aren't the only ones we should be concerned about. I mean, our central american associates, once they hear we let them in and they hear that sonny's kid was shot and now there's this power shift --
jason: Now they think we're vulnerable.
Bernie: Yeah, they know we are. You know, mr. Corinthos didn't do you a big favor when he dumped this job in your lap.
elizabeth: Thanks.
Lucky: Elizabeth, i have to get an accident report from the e.R. I'm intrigued. Do you think someone here is tampering with the meds?
Elizabeth: It's possible. You would like to think that would never happen, but --
lucky: You think it is, don't you?
Elizabeth: I have my suspicions. I've been thinking about it ever since dr. Ford yelled at me for not giving my patient anti-seizure medication when i know i did, and then nikolas had a post-op seizure right after he received the same medication from epiphany.
Lucky: But it's not just that one drug. Sam got a prescription for pain meds that had no effect. Now that guy, his drugs don't even work.
Elizabeth: I'm not really sure sam's case applies, 'cause she was on pain medication, and it's not uncommon for your body to build up a tolerance, and that guy right now -- he didn't give us enough information to draw any conclusions.
Lucky: Well, it couldn't hurt to ask. There could be a lot more going on around here than we suspect.
Spinelli: The jackal appreciates fair samantha's efforts, but none of her praise made even a dent with maximista. She sees me as a loser.
Sam: No.
Spinelli: Lord of the wimps.
Sam: I think that maxie was just busy, and it's probably my fault for approaching her at the office. We shouldn't have gone there --
spinelli: Work has nothing to do with it. That's not the problem. I am. It's time i faced the heart-wrenching truth. Though i may rule cyberspace, there is nothing about the jackal's brick and mortar persona that would cause maximista's fair heart to race with passion.
Sam: Hey, hey, come on. That is not true. You have many wonderful qualities that any woman would appreciate. I think that you are, like, probably the smartest person that i have ever met. You're sweet, and you're incredibly loyal.
Spinelli: Right, steadfast and true. So is a golden retriever. I have -- i have no doubts that maximista considers me a friend, perhaps even a dear one, but -- but the jackal wishes for so much more, a physical connection if you will, but after spending an entire night at maximista's boudoir when all she was inspired to do was check my head for concussive damage -- the jackal despairs.
Sam: Ok, you want to be maxie's lover, so naturally, let's assess the raw material. Take off your shirt.
Lulu: The printing house rejected our pc account.
Maxie: How is that? Probably because you forgot to send them a check last month. Maybe too busy chasing johnny? Don't worry. I took care of it. We're going to have a new account within the hour.
Lulu: Did you tell kate?
Maxie: No, i saved your sorry butt, but don't for one second think that i'll be making that a habit.
Lulu: Thank you. You must be getting pretty desperate, by the way.
Maxie: Meaning? Did you buy more --
lulu: Three-hole punch? Yes, i stocked up this morning.
Maxie: Perfect. Why am i desperate?
Lulu: Here is kate's schedule for the week. Why else would you drag poor, unsuspecting spinelli to your house and trap him in your disgusting bed overnight? You're afraid that he's seen you for the manipulative slut that you are, so you're using sex, the one thing that you are good at --
maxie: Thanks. The schedule looks good, and i'm calling sour grapes. I think you're a jealous loser because you can't stand that spinelli and i are closer than the two of you ever were. You must be here for kate.
Lulu: Oh, i'll let her know.
Jax: I think she's expecting me. I -- i called her.
Lulu: Oh.
Jax: Hey.
Hi.
Kate: Hi.
[Laughs]
come in. So, good news. I just got off the phone with the distributor of "charm." They are letting us feature their perfume in the premier issue.
Jax: Oh, that's great.
Kate: And you couldn't care less. You want to talk about it?
Jax: Well, it's -- it's just that sonny is finally out of the middle of my marriage, but i'm afraid that it may have come too late.
