Liasonite Lynda Liason History Queen
Anthony: How did you come into this information about ric, like that ex-wife of his being involved with jason.
Johnny: I have my sources.
Ric: Yeah, which happen to be lulu spencer, who doesn't know what she's talking about.
Johnny: See, i think she does. Oh, by the way, elizabeth webber was also married to lulu's brother.
Ric: Ok, while we are going on about elizabeth's love life, the window of opportunity is closing here. Now we need to hit jason hard. We need --
trevor: That was a pretty smooth evasion Why don't you want to talk about your ex-wife?
Ric: Because elizabeth spencer has absolutely no relevance to this conversation, trevor.
Anthony: Now maybe she does. Maybe she doesn't. Is this elizabeth someone we can use against jason?
Bernie: Maybe we should consider canceling tonight's shipment.
Jason: No, it's too late, but i will be informing our people in puerto rico that we're going to be changing all future delivery plans.
Bernie: Don't you think that might be too much too soon?
Jason: We have to dictate the terms. If -- if we wait on these people to tell us, it shows more weakness.
Diane: Carly.
Carly: Yeah?
Diane: I haven't had a chance to properly express my devastation at what has happened to michael.
Carly: Thank you.
Diane: And if i may just say, i am a little relieved that you have sole custody of morgan. It can only benefit him.
Carly: I appreciate that. So which side did you land on the fallout?
Diane: Well, jason has retained my services, and i'm still also working for sonny, in a different capacity of course.
Carly: Aren't you worried about conflict of interest or something?
Diane: It's a fine line, but we lawyers are used to walking it.
Carly: Wish it were that easy for the rest of us.
Jason: Ok, i want all new bank accounts. Everything -- i want everything just to start over, all right? So i don't know how long it might take you, but just --
carly: Hey, i need to talk to
you. Sorry.
Jason: Yeah, bernie, just give us a minute, sorry.
Bernie: I'll catch up on this.
Carly: Hey.
Bernie: Yeah.
Jason: You shouldn't be here.
Carly: I know. I'm sorry i didn't call. I know i just barged in.
Jason: No, no, no, carly. You're not getting it. Sonny signed those papers not to just keep morgan safe, but we're trying to keep everybody safe. You and i can't see each other anymore.
sam: It's weird. I mean, you -- no, no, no, not weird like that. It's weird that you and i have lived under jason's roof for so long, and i've never seen you without your shirt on.
Spinelli: Well, the jackal is modest by nature, but made even more so when ripped stone cold is on the premises. Go ahead, say it. Yes, the jackal's physique leaves much to be desired.
Sam: No.
Spinelli, you're actually not as bad as you think you are. I mean, i think you could use some work on your posture, but you are nice and lean, and you don't have any gross tattoos or piercings. None that are visible.
Spinelli: The jackal stands before you as originally designed.
Sam: Good. I mean, that's really good, that's a good start. I think all you need are guns, and you should be good to go.
Spinelli: I'm afraid that's impossible.
Sam: Why?
Spinelli: I've had some horrific experiences with firearms.
Sam: Fire -- no.
Spinelli, guns, guns, as in muscles, biceps. I think i should put you on a really good workout and we'll build you up a little bit, and it'll make all the difference in the world.
Spinelli: Do you think increased musculature would truly sway maximista's heart?
Sam: I know it sounds really shallow, doesn't it? But i personally think that intelligence and sense of humor are far more attractive than seeing a man naked, but we as humans are sort of like animals, and we are drawn to certain things, and -- and people that are -- happen to be physical, i suppose --
spinelli: Yeah, the same occurs in nature. The process of natural selection leads females to choose dominant and well-contoured males for mates. The one problem that i foresee is my general hopelessness when it comes to any and all physical endeavors.
Sam: That's fine. You just put yourself in my hands, spinelli, and we are going to build those muscles and we will certainly have fun doing it.
Spinelli: Ok.
[Spinelli growls]
[sam growls]
[laughter]
maxie: You have to be the most selfish creature on the face of the planet.
Lulu: Look who's talking.
Maxie: You want to be the center of spinelli's universe -- hand me that letter -- and have your big, bad mobster romance at the same time, let's experiment. Try not to think about yourself for one second. I know, it's probably Impossible. But think about spinelli.
Lulu: I need gretchen's fax number.
Maxie: You know, you should really try putting this in your rolodex. Why should spinelli have to sit on the sidelines and watch while you make a fool of yourself for johnny, when everyone knows that whatever you think you have with him clearly is doomed? Where are the messengers with those mockups?
Lulu: Stuck in traffic, on his way. You know what? I'll give you some credit. You are an expert on a lot of things.
Maxie: Thank you.
Lulu: Like crying on cue, rolling over on your back. Let's not forget sucking up to kate. But you know absolutely zero about me and johnny. In fact, you know nothing about relationships at all.
Maxie: I'll tell you one thing i do know for sure. Now that johnny's already had you, it shouldn't be too hard to get him to break up with you.
Lulu: Oh. Hmm.
Ric: There was a time when elizabeth might have served as leverage against jason -- when we thought that she'd had his child. But the baby turned out to be lucky's, who happens to be a detective. And i don't really think we need to bring the police in on this, especially when it's easily avoidable.
Johnny: Which is exactly why we need to keep the truce in place for now. Why poke sticks at jason morgan when we can lie low, rake in our money, and build a solid foundation for the future? You wanted my opinion, you got it. Do what you want with it.
Trevor: Johnny's got a point. Look, tony, i'm not in love with jason morgan, but these are precarious times. We can always take him out later.
Ric: You know, as usual, you say "apple," i say, "orange," nothing ever changes. I'm sure you're going to side with either your son or my father, but i abide by whatever your decision is.
Anthony: Hold on. What makes you think trevor or johnny speaks for me?
Kate: You said sonny's out of your life? Did something happen?
Jax: Well, he signed papers relinquishing his parental rights to michael and morgan. Now, if i can only get alexis to do the same with kristina, then sonny's remaining children might actually live past the ripe age of 12. Wouldn't that be an achievement? What?
Kate: Oh, it just explains so much, jax. I didn't hear from sonny last night, and i thought if we were really finding our way back to a better place, why didn't i hear from him? Why didn't he at least call? But now i know why. Because he had just given up his sons.
Jax: Well, i'm surprised he went through with it. You know, i thought he was too selfish to actually --
kate: Yeah, ok, jax, it's because you don't know him at all. You want to talk about selfish? Let's talk about carly. How self-absorbed is a woman who would punish such a loving father in such a heartless way?
Carly: This is nonsense. There's nothing wrong with us seeing each other. Jason, you're my best friend.
Jason: Yeah, and you're mine, but --
carly: There's no buts here. Come on. Look, i'm grateful to you. There's no way i could have convinced sonny to give up the boys if you hadn't agreed to take over the business. And i know that's a burden that you've never wanted to carry.
Jason: It's a small price to pay after what i did to michael. And if running the organization helps keep morgan safe, it's the least i can do, but you know what? Things need to change all around. Nobody's sacrifice means anything if you're still a target, carly. You know what? You just -- you just got to stay away, ok?
Carly: You're serious.
Jason: Yeah. Yeah, i am.
Carly: Ok, you know, maybe i can agree with you a little, that you should stay away from morgan. But you and me -- we're a different story. Morgan's a little boy. I'm a grown woman, jason.
Jason: You -- you can get shot and die as easily as anybody else.
Carly: You can't do this to me. I just lost michael, you know. I can't lose you, too. And i'm not going to let you be alone in this world. You walked away from your only child, you walked away from the woman you love. You and sonny can barely look at each other. You need me, just like i need you, and i'm not going anywhere. So you need to live with it.
Sam: Yeah, baby, that's the spot to go for. There you go. Hold on.
Lucky: Sam?
Sam: Keep pumping. You're almost there.
[Spinelli moaning]
sam: You got it. That's great. I'm sorry, my grasshopper had to finish his reps.
Lucky: Can i come in?
Sam: Yeah, of course you can come in.
Spinelli: Greetings, lulu's brother in blue. I would rise to give you a firm, manly handshake, but i fear i may have strained something vital.
Lulu: What is your bizarre obsession over the men in my life? You trash my brother, you seduce logan, god knows what you did with spinelli, and now you're hoping that johnny will break up with me. Who's next, my dad?
Maxie: Oh. I'm not against dating an older man.
Lulu: You're revolting, and i swear to god, maxie, if you go anywhere near my father, i will break you.
Maxie: No, no, no -- that could be interesting. I'd do it just to hear you call me "stepmom." On the other hand, i could just take johnny away from you.
Lulu: You're delusional.
Maxie: You think?
Lulu: Hmm.
Maxie: Hold that thought.
Maxie: Johnny, hi, it's maxie. I'm good. How are you? I'm at the office. I needed to settle something with you. Do you think you could come over here right now? Great. I'll see you soon. Bye.
Jax: How can you possibly see carly's actions as merely punitive? Have you not figured out what sonny does for a living?
Kate: It doesn't negate who he is as a man or as a father. He loves his children.
Jax: Yes, and carly loves them just as much, ok? Parents love their children. It doesn't make them special.
Kate: What carly is doing isn't out of love, jax. It's out of her incessant need to punish sonny.
Jax: You know, i'd expect this warped centric view from sonny, not you. You can't deny that morgan will be better off without the violence that constantly follows sonny around.
Kate: Yes, i can deny it, jax. A compromise could be made --
jax: Yet another compromise so another kid can end up in a coma.
Kate: Another way for carly to keep morgan safe without ripping a father from his sons' lives, but with all of the support that carly generally enjoys, i'm not surprised she didn't bother to find an alternate route. I am surprised at how you enable her.
[Phone rings]
jax: I'm going to put an end to this conversation before you say something you're going to regret.
Maxie: Kate. Christiana just walked out of the photo shoot.
Kate: Oh, the skinny bitch.
Diane: I have filed formal changes of ownership for all of the affected companies. Now, as i was saying earlier, you are going to come under increased scrutiny from the feds. In particular, they're going to be looking at your income tax records, because that is the easiest way to go after alleged mobsters.
Jason: Ok, can you do me a favor? Can you just discuss the books with bernie, and just give him your legal insight?
Diane: Absolutely. Now, you might also want to think about updating your will. Not to put too fine a point on it, but your life expectancy just went way down.
Max: The shipment just got hit.
Anthony: You presented your case very well. I can see why you're a respected trial lawyer.
ric: Does that mean you're going to follow my advice?
Anthony: I might have.
Trevor: That was vaughn. He's got some surprising news, huh? It seems a corinthos cargo ship just exploded.
Anthony: Imagine that.
Ric: You've had this planned all along, haven't you?
Anthony: Doesn't mean i don't appreciate a good debate. Listen, making jason look weak right away sends a message to his minions. See, there's a reason why underlings are underlings. They don't have the emotional fortitude it takes to ride out these little storms. They get nervous, and then they panic. And when that happens, they start looking for ways to cover their butts. And eventually, one of them is going to come to me and offer to take jason down from the inside, and then we get what we want. Jason is history, the corinthos organization splinters, and our hands are clean. You're right, johnny's right. Everybody's happy. Right, trevor?
Marty: Jax, do you have a moment to go over a few things? I didn't want to bother carly.
Jax: Sure.
Marty: Well, has a decision been made about the poolside bar?
Marty: We're going to hold renovations until september.
Marty: May i express the condolences and best wishes of everyone on the staff for little michael? We miss him.
Jax: Never ceases to amaze me how many people he touched and how different it is, you know, without him. I'll be sure to tell carly.
Marty: Thanks.
Jax: No problem.
Kate: Jax, jax, wait. Ok, i'm mortified. I'm so sorry. You're probably one of my only real friends. Can we not fight?
Spinelli: Thank you, fair samantha. My guns are screaming with pain and glee.
Sam: Sorry.
Spinelli: But soon, thanks to you, i will be a pillar of manly prowess. But right now, all i can think of is a long, hot soak.
Sam: Ok, you do that. You did good, ok? I promise -- sorry. I promise it's going to get easier.
Spinelli: One can only hope.
Sam: It will. Bye.
Lucky: So, you're a personal trainer now? What else did i miss?
Sam: I'm just trying to help spinelli access his inner stud. And i think maybe working out is the first step to building some confidence.
Lucky: He's just a little different. I'm just glad he's just away from lulu.
Sam: Really? I don't know, i think maybe the two of you just got off on the wrong foot. Really, i mean, he's actually a sweetheart. He's a good guy, and i kind of think he deserves to get the girl. But between you and i, i don't think he stands a chance.
Maxie: I'm so glad you got here so fast. Thanks.
Johnny: Yeah, no problem.
Lulu: I didn't realize maxie had so much influence over you.
Johnny: I was hoping you would be here and you are. I don't have any complaints. What can i do for you?
Maxie: Pay up. Remember when i covered for lulu the day she blew off work just because you asked me to?
Johnny: I remember.
Maxie: Well, you said you would owe me and i'm ready to collect.
Johnny: Sure, whatever you want.
Maxie: I'm so glad you said that. Now i can't wait to go to federico's party in manhattan next friday with you on my arm.
Kate: My loyalty to sonny does not give me the right to judge carly's motives or put you in a position where you feel like you have to defend her. It does me no good to fight with you, jax. I am grateful for your friendship, for your investment, for being the voice of reason, sometimes the only one, in times that can only be described as hellish.
Jax: We're all upset about what happened to michael, ok? And you're the last person that i want to have conflict with right now.
Kate: So, why don't we agree to be switzerland. We'll help each other by suspending judgment.
Jax: Sounds like a plan.
Carly: Wow. You know, you need to make a decision. Who's more important, me or kate? Because you can't have both.
Trevor: With all due respect, anthony, i am concerned. You provoke jason morgan and he's going to whack you back. Jason and sonny are entirely different kinds of animals. Jason is more cunning, logical, less likely to act on his emotions than make a mistake.
Ric: You know what? I think you're overestimating jason just a little bit, trevor. Look, he's a thug. He's a hit man. He kills people for a living. Jason doesn't have the ability to project or plan ahead or lead. Hitting him now is the exact right move.
Anthony: Going to be interesting to see who's proven right. Even more interesting to see how this thing plays out. What jason does in the next couple of hours is going to show us exactly how formidable an opponent he's going to be.
Jason: What do we know?
Bernie: Nobody was killed. Cargo's a total loss.
Max: The zaccharas, it had to be.
Diane: Hypothetically, you would have an airtight alibi in place before issuing any retaliation orders. Police are going to be all over you. Having said that, i shall leave you gentlemen to your business.
Max: Jason, i know two places we can hit back to cause the zaccharas a maximum amount of damage. Just give me the word.
Jason: Anthony zacchara did this to me. I'm the one who's going to respond.
>> On the Next "General Hospital" --
Jax: I get the feeling that i'm more invested in this than you are. Are you hiding something from me?
Alexis: You gave custody of the children over to carly. Do the same for kristina.
