Friday May 30 - Part 2


Carly: I will never end my relationship with jason.

Jax: Despite the violence.

Carly: Despite anything.

Jax: Well, that's -- that's really mature of you, carly. I'm your husband. I'm the one that you're supposed to be sharing your life with.

Carly: Yeah, and you just stood there and admitted that you were talking about me to kate. How do you think that makes me feel?

Jax: What are you -- are -- are you jealous of kate? Is that what this is about?

Carly: Kate is selfish. She took my kid to the warehouse, jax.

Jax: And kate's involved with Sonny. I suppose that upsets you even more than the fact that her and i are business partners, right?

Carly: I don't give a damn that they're together.

Jax: Well, i'd love to believe that, but you and sonny, you always find a way back to each other. And maybe it's the history you share. Or maybe it's the way you, uh, maybe it's the unique way you guys push each other's buttons.

Carly: What the hell are you trying to say?

Alexis: You know, it seems like what happened to michael is just another way for you and carly to punish each other and then stage some inevitable reconciliation, like you always do. It's just -- as sad as that is to me, michael and morgan are yours and carly's to raise as you please, but kristina is not.

Sonny: If you want to keep kristina safe, alexis, what the hell you doing with jerry jacks?

Alexis: I'm not with jerry jacks. He's a client.

Sonny: Your client held a room full of people hostage. He shot robin scorpio. He -- he blew up the metro court lobby. He's a psycho, but you can not stay away from him. Why is that?

Alexis: Well, he's jax's brother, and your sons call him uncle jerry.

Sonny: The point i'm making is you keep bringing dangerous men into kristina's life, even marrying them. Come on.

Ric: What'd is miss?

Alexis: You missed a lot. He's elected to give up his criminal pursuits. You want to wager a bet on how long he stays clean?

Sonny: I signed the business over to jason.

Ric: Yeah, so i heard.

Alexis: I'll give kristina your best.

Ric: Well, she's upset. I recognize the set of the jaw.

Sonny: I can't -- i can't give up kristina.

Ric: Sonny, alexis just wants to make sure that her daughter is safe, as do i. I'm sure you want the same thing for your children.

Sonny: Listen, i just want you to know that -- that at this point, i'm doing everything i can to protect my children. That's why i gave up my territory.

Ric: Are you sure? Or is alexis right? Are you sure you can really stay away?

jax: You hiding something from me?

Carly: I'm on edge, jax. I have been on one long emotional rollercoaster, starting with getting pregnant and losing the baby, michael getting shot, and now he is in a coma. He's in a facility with beautiful blue walls that he can't even see.

Jax: Yeah, you're grieving, we all are. But that doesn't give you reason to take it out on kate.

Carly: I don't want her near you. Rationalize that all you want, but that's how i feel.

[Knock on door]

kate: Hey, is carly here?

Carly: I can't imagine what you could possibly have to say to me.

Kate: Carly, what you -- jax has probably told you that he and i had a discussion about sonny signing away his paternal rights to michael and morgan.

Carly: Yep, what about it?

Kate: Sonny and morgan have both lost michael. They need each other right now, and i'm just -- i'm respectfully asking that you reconsider your decision to separate them.

Carly: You know, if you had any respect for me at all, you wouldn't be here. So, pay close attention. If morgan is near sonny, it could cost morgan his life. This is the only way to keep him safe.

Kate: Why can't you see that there are other ways to keep morgan safe?

Carly: You know, i know you are with sonny, and i am sure he is more acceptable now in your circle of friends because he is out of the organization, but my kids aren't part of the bargain, kate.

Kate: I'm not trying to bargain with you.

Carly: And i can't stand the sight of you. Is that clear enough? My son's in a coma because you, on your own, came into my house and took him somewhere without my permission.

Kate: I'm going to go now.

Carly: Yeah, you do that. And don't come back.

Jax: That was uncalled for.

Carly: Well, you know what? By all means, go after her. But if you do, don't come back.

Sonny: I left the organization. I'm pushing coffee beans. Jason has taken over. So, if you don't believe me, just talk to him.

Ric: So, what are you going to do now, sonny? You going to take up golf? You going to throw gourmet dinner parties?

Sonny: Are you going to make fun of me now? I'm in the coffee business.

Ric: Sonny, you've been defined by this business since you were a teenager, ok? You are your work.

Sonny: I had more -- two sons. One got shot. He'll never be whole again. The other is not legally my child now. And i have a daughter who i barely see, who now, i'm not going to see at all, because alexis thinks that i'm dangerous, or whatever she wants to think.

Ric: You still have family.

Sonny: You taking about yourself?

Ric: Oh, i don't know. For what it's worth, we are brothers, ok? It can count for something if we just let it.

Sonny: I gave a lot away, but not my brain.

Rick: Oh, so, you're allowed to change, but i'm not,

sonny: Well, you're just allabout payback. So i don't want anything, you know.

Ric: Look, sonny, i've done a lot of things that i regret. But i'm past all of that now.

Sonny: Well, at least you have a new target. I mean, all the anger you had towards me is redirected to trevor.

Ric: My father is a completely different situation.

Sonny: Maybe. I still can't trust you.

Ric: All right. Well, i'll let johnny and anthony know that you are no longer in a position to be a threat.

Sonny: Ric. Just so you know, i am no longer in a position to protect you from jason.

Lulu: We need to put next week's schedule together.

Maxie: I am almost done, and these photo proofs need to go to the photography house in half an hour.

Lulu: Ok, what about the messenger service?

Maxie: Oh, they are very backed up. But kate was specific about needing these delivered tonight.

Lulu: Yeah, you just want me out of the way, so that i don't remind you of how you humiliated yourself with johnny.

Maxie: Can't fool you. Going?

Lulu: Why don't you call federico? I'm sure he can set you up with someone.

Maxie: Clock's ticking.

Lulu: Oh, yeah? Ok, well there's plenty of social-climbing men that wouldn't mind putting up with you for a night.

Maxie: Thank you for holding. As it turns out, we won't be needing a messenger to deliver those photo proofs. Thank you. Ha.

Anthony: Any word from claudia?

Johnny: Not since she called to say she was ok.

Anthony: Hmm, not a good time for her to be out of touch.

Johnny: Why?

Anthony: The corinthos organization just lost a shipment. Little welcome present for jason morgan as new kingpin.

Johnny: This was ric's idea, wasn't it? I told you, we can't provoke morgan.

Anthony: And i disagreed. So, what's done is done.

Johnny: He'll retaliate.

Anthony: Of course he will, and we'll be ready.

Johnny: You sure about that?

Anthony: John, have a little confidence in your father.

[Cell phone rings]

johnny: Yeah.

Maxie: It's maxie. I need you to come to the office right away. It's about lulu's father.

Johnny: What about him?

Maxie: Oh, i can't tell you over the phone. But if you care about lulu, you'll get here right now.

Johnny: I have to go. Remember what i said about morgan.

Anthony: Please, i've been handling the jason morgans of the world since before you could crawl.

Johnny: Why are you by yourself? Where's logan?

Anthony: He's around. I can fend for myself. I don't need that monkey breathing down my neck every minute.

Johnny: Suit yourself.

Anthony: Monkey, get over here. I need to use the can. Monkey.


alfred: I took the liberty of bringing tea. Perhaps it will take the chill off the evening.

Claudia: Yeah, got a shot of whiskey to go with it?

Alfred: Uh.

Claudia: Easy, jeeves. I don't bite, unless i want to.

Alfred: It isn't you, miss, it's master nikolas. Did he, perhaps, mention the notion of going for a ride?

Claudia: A ride, like in a boat?

Alfred: No, on his horse.

Claudia: On his horse? It's pitch black outside. He's recovering from brain surgery. What is he, crazy?

Alfred: Unfortunately, he's been like this since miss emily died. I fear master nikolas doesn't wish to live without her.

Anthony: Monkey, where the hell are you?

[Anthony grunts]

[anthony coughs]

hey, someone get in here. The room's on fire.

Trevor: Anthony! God, what happened?

Anthony: Help me put it out.

Trevor: No, no, it's too late. We've got to get out of here.

Anthony: This is my house. I'm not leaving.

Sonny: Oh, i got a call that you were down at the warehouse.

Max: Yeah, jason wanted me to check it out.

Sonny: Ok.

Max: Just make sure that no one is looking to do any damage.

Sonny: I don't need -- i don't need your protection. How many times have i got to tell you?

Max: Look, i know.

Sonny: You know? Then why --

max: You don't have any guards anymore Jason's concerned that somebody might try to make a hit on you.

Sonny: Tell jason that i don't want him sending you or anybody else to protect me, to look after me. I'm not a child. You get it?

Max: Yeah.

Sonny: Yeah.

Max: Ok.You know, it's weird, mr. C. This is the same kind of thing that people will make me come say to you.

Kate: I heard the strangest rumors.

Sonny: I -- i signed over custody of michael and morgan to carly. You look nice. I'm out of the business.

Kate: You seem to be taking it in stride.

Sonny: Oh, well, you know, this is it for me. I got -- i got -- um, my business associates, it's going to take them a while to accept that it's real, but they will. You're not happy? I mean, i did what you wanted.

Kate: I hope not.

Jax: You know that i don't agree with what kate was asking. But the things you said were needlessly hurtful.

Carly: That wasn't half of what she deserves.

Jax: She was as devastated about what happened to michael as anyone else.

Carly: Did she tell you that while she was crying on your shoulder? You're my husband. Why don't you open your eyes and see my side for a change?

Jax: This is not a competition between you and kate.

Carly: No?

Jax: No.

Carly: You don't see how attentive she is to you?

Jax: What are you talking about?

Carly: Oh, my. She must have known a thousand potential backers. But she asked you to invest in "crimson. That's because she -- she likes having your advice, jax. She likes to cozy up to you. Ask you tons of questions.

Jax: Kate has no romantic interest in me whatsoever, ok? She knows how i feel about you.

Carly: Well, you know what? I really wish i did.

Jax: I've been here for you every step of the way. But lately, i am the last person you come to for support.

Carly: I love you.

Jax: Yeah, in your own way.

Carly: What the hell? Have you seen too much of the real me, and you're using this as an excuse to run for the hills?

Jax: I never said i was going anywhere.

Carly: Well, then, what do you want from me?

Jax: How about a reason to stay?


johnny: Anybody here?

Maxie: I'll be right out. Hey, thanks for coming.

Johnny: Yeah. What was so important you couldn't tell me over the phone?

Maxie: Why don't you sit down?

Johnny: Where's lulu?

Maxie: Uh, she had to run an errand for kate. But she'll be back soon.

Johnny: Maxie.

Maxie: Why don't you just sit down, and i'll tell you everything.

Johnny: Fine. What's going on?

Maxie: This.

Spinelli: Oh.

Claudia: Oh, my God. Nikolas. Nikolas. Can you hear me? Nikolas.

[Nikolas groans]

claudia: Hey.

Nikolas: It's all right. It's all right. I'm ok. Ok. Something spooked rubicon, and he threw me.

Claudia: Is that your horse?

Nikolas: Yeah. [Nikolas groans] i feel like -- i feel like i got kicked in the ribs by an elephant.

Claudia: You're lucky it's not worse. You could have killed yourself.

Nikolas: That might have been for the best.

Kate: Please, sonny, don't tell me you gave up the mob for me.

Sonny: What are you talking about? You didn't really like what i did for a living.

Kate: No, i didn't, but you did. In fact, you thrived on it. You built a business empire, and now you've given it up, just like that.

Sonny: Well, it's just, you know, it's the right time. It feels right. It feels good.

Kate: Ok, right now, it feels right. But what about a week or a month and you might start to miss it, and -- i'm afraid you're going to resent my part in your decision.

Sonny: I don't want you to feel that way. I'm doing this, you know, for my sons and my daughter. As you know, before michael got
shot, i was showing him around the warehouse. And i told him that this was a legitimate place. At first, he didn't believe me. And then i said to him,
you know, i'm doing this for you, your brother, and your sister. And he had this look in his eye. You know what it was?

Kate: Hmm?

Sonny: Pride. Because that's -- he wanted to believe that's who his father was. I'm doing this for michael. So, i can keep, you know, his brother and sister safer. You think i'm going back on
that?

Kate: I don't.

Sonny: I'm trying to carve a new life for me and my kids. And i need you in it.

Jax: I want this marriage to work. But i get the feeling that i am more invested in this than you are.

Carly: That's not true.

Jax: I'm no expert on marriage. I mean, i've been divorced a few times. You know that. But hopefully, i've learned a few things along the way.
I mean, whatever life throws at us, we have to be able to lean on each other with complete trust. You choose sonny and jason to lean on.

Carly: Oh, jax, we just keep going around in circles.

Jax: Then why don't we meet each other half way? I mean, if you want this marriage to work, carly, you have to fight for it.

Carly: I don't want to lose you.

Jax: Because you love me or because you've lost so much already?

Carly: Both. Is that honest enough for you?

Jax: Well, that's a start.

Carly: We vowed to be together for better or for worse. And i meant every word, and I still do. I'm ready to fight for us, jax. Are you going to fight with me?

[Sirens wailing]

anthony: This is as far as you drag me.

Trevor: Let's go, tony. The fire trucks are coming. I just don't know how much can be saved.

Anthony: Shut up. You go meet them. Make sure they don't run over maria's roses.

Trevor: You've got much bigger worries than the roses, my friend.

Anthony: Will you go? Go And if you see the monkey, find out where the hell he's been. Someone's going to pay for this.


>> On the Next "General Hospital" --

carly: I will fight for you.

Nikolas: I think there's a lot more to you.

Anthony: Put that guy in the ground!

Sonny: You've got to fix things.

Jason: That's not your call
