Maxie: Hmm, well, I slept with Lulu's last boyfriend. I guess you heard. Claudia: I didn't, but that's fabulous. Something told me that you wouldn't have a problem with this.
Maxie: Seducing Logan Hayes was not a challenge. He's a typical guy, but Johnny, I don't have to tell you -- we're talking about your brother.
Claudia: Johnny's a teddy bear and, no, we're not talking about my brother. We are talking about $10,000. We are talking about $20,000 if you pull this off and Lulu catches you. Maxie, it's just sex, right? And you know what I heard? I heard she's messing with your career. You pull this off; she's not going to want to work here anymore.
Lulu: I'm here, finally. Stop calling me over and over. Oh, thanks.
[Lulu giggles]
[Elevator dings]
Jax: Hey.
Alexis: Hey. I'm going to shamelessly take advantage of our friendship right now, if that's ok with you.
Jax: Thanks for the heads up. Whatever it is, you know I'll help if I can.
Alexis: I thought about this, so I'm just trying to come to some peace about it and I really don't want it to -
Jax: It's me, Alexis. You don't have to dress it up.
Alexis: When you told me that you were going to try to get sonny to give up custody of Morgan, I thought it would be a disaster of huge proportions, and it wasn't and I was wrong -
Jax: Ok, could you just tell me what you want?
Alexis: Help me convince sonny to give up Kristina.
Kate: I love you and I think I'm managing to figure out what it means to be a part of your life, but I'm not going to lie. I was relieved when you walked away from the mob because I know what a big step that was for you, sonny. It was huge and it was complicated and you did not take it lightly. But for you to just give in and go right back to the life -
Sonny: Ok, wait, wait, wait. What if I say it was not -- it wouldn't be like giving in, all right? It would be like taking back what's mine.
Maxie: I really don't even know why you bothered to come back.
Lulu: Because you leave me 900 screaming messages on my voicemail?
Maxie: And here you are after all the work is done -- surprise.
Lulu: Like you can handle it all on your own.
Maxie: Somehow, I managed to get through the day without out you, so why don't you just take your boyfriend and go? I'm sure there're a bunch of other things Johnny would rather be doing, like folding some socks or talking to an insurance salesman. Anything has to better than listening to lulu whine and complain.
Johnny: I told Lulu I'd stick around until she's finished.
Lulu: So I don't have to listen to you whine and complain tomorrow.
Maxie: Finish with what?
Lulu: Kate's emails.
Maxie: Oh, going through all the spam? I can take care of that.
Lulu: No, setting up Kate's schedule -
Maxie: I'll handle it.
Lulu: Looking over feature articles. That would require you to know how to read. You can match the pictures to the stories.
Maxie: Because you can't even match your blouse to your pants? No, that would require you having an ounce of taste. Tell me again why you want a career in a field for which you have no talent? I'm sure Johnny has a couple of other things he would rather be doing.
Johnny: I don't mind hanging out.
Maxie: Really? Then there's something that you could do for me.
Leyla: You must've taken dance lessons.
Spinelli: Uh, an online social dancing tutorial.
Leyla: How does one learn to dance online?
Spinelli: Well, I think I function best in the virtual world.
Leyla: You're functioning quite well right now.
Spinelli: I attributed that to your grace and skill.
Leyla: You're the one who's leading.
Spinelli: I am?
Leyla: Yes.
Spinelli: I was -- I was most certain it was you.
Leyla: It's all you. Show me what you've got.
Spinelli: Ok.
[Leyla squeals]
Spinelli: Oh -- oh, gosh, um, humble apologies. I must've lost sight of our trajectory.
Woman: Clearly.
Spinelli: I was -- I was just so focused on the austenian one.
Man: Austenian?
Spinelli: As in Jane Austen. I -- that is, the plucky heroines of whom she wrote.
Woman: I came to tell you that they're about to cut the cake, but I can see why you're hiding your date out here. This guy's a disaster.
Alexis: What happened to Michael is my worst nightmare. You know that. It's what I've feared since the day Kristina was born, that one of his children would end up as casualty.
Jax: Sure.
Alexis: That's why I want full custody. It's why I wanted full custody. It's not out of spite.
Jax: No, nobody thought that.
Alexis: Carly did. Carly was shouting it from the rooftops. Her outrage and fury knew no bounds, that I would have the gall to want to separate a father from his child.
Jax: She sees things differently now.
Alexis: Well, I'm afraid that sonny wouldn't agree with you.
Jax: What makes you say that?
Alexis: Because as soon as I found out that he gave up custody of the boys, I went over to his house and asked that he do the same thing for Kristina and he refused.
Jax: Maybe it was just bad timing. I mean, he'd just signed away most of his life -
Alexis: He's not worried about anything that he signed. He thinks this whole thing is just temporary. He thinks Carly just did this to punish him, and that as soon as she calms down, they'll be one big happy mob family.
Jax: Perhaps sonny needed to tell himself that to go through with it, but it's not true. Michael and Morgan are out of sonny's life for good.
Alexis: Sonny needs to make this break with Kristina.
Sonny: How did you feel when you were fired from couture?
Kate: I was devastated.
Sonny: Mm-hmm.
Kate: I was more than devastated, I felt hollow. I felt like my identity had been completely stripped, and I know that's shallow.
Sonny: Why?
Kate: Because, sonny -- because our jobs shouldn't identify us any more than our cars.
Sonny: You -- you earned it. Nobody handed it to you. You -- you set a goal and you achieved it. If that -- if that doesn't, you know, define who you are, what -- what does?
Kate: All right, then I guess I'm not really in a position to judge, right?
Sonny: No, I guess not.
Kate: Because what did I do?
Sonny: What?
Kate: I went out and started a magazine.
Sonny: Oh, ok.
Kate: I guess that sums up my personal self-awareness, right?
Sonny: Right.
Kate: I liked it. I liked the power. I liked walking into a room knowing I commanded that kind of respect.
Sonny: You mean fear. And when it was gone, you missed it.
Kate: Yeah.
Sonny: Right and you weren't quite sure who you were without it.
Kate: Yeah, but sonny, it's not the same thing.
Sonny: It is the same thing.
Kate: No, it's not. My career choices never cost me someone I love.
Carly: Hey.
Carly: I just came from seeing Mac about Michael's shooting.
Jax: Is there anymore news?
Carly: The case is closed. I'm surprised Alexis didn't tell you. She had to sign off on it.
Alexis: Carly, Mac and his men have taken the evidence as far as it can go. I had to sign off on the case, but I will never, ever give up on it. And I am hoping that at some point some good will come out of this.
Carly: My son's in a permanent coma.
Alexis: But Morgan is safe. You're keeping Morgan safe. You're doing the right thing. Jax: You know, Alexis and I were just discussing the fact that sonny has an obligation to protect all his children. Perhaps you could appeal to him to act in Kristina's best interests as well.
Carly: Sonny didn't give up Morgan out of the goodness of his heart. Jason agreed to take over the business so sonny can just walk away from the mess. The price he paid was giving up Michael and Morgan.
Alexis: So you're suggesting that I appeal to Jason?
Carly: No, he doesn't have anything left to trade, Alexis.
Alexis: Carly, you can help me. I know you can, because you're the only one that can convince him -- Carly: I'm not married to Sonny anymore.
Alexis: It doesn't matter.
Jax: Alexis -
Carly: He hates me, ok?
Alexis: Carly, please, I'm asking you to help me. I'll get down on my knees if you want me to.
Carly: I'm sorry, Alexis.
Alexis: She's not going to help. Nobody's going to help. He -- he wins. He -- he said that she's only keeping Morgan away because she wants to punish him, but he's going to get what he wants. So if I were you, I'd be a little concerned, because if he wants her back, he'll get her and then they'll get Morgan and then they'll put him -
Jax: Alexis, please, stop.
Alexis: In the line of fire. I'm not letting this happen to Kristina.
Carly: Get out. Alexis: I will not let it happen. I'm going to keep her out of this sick, twisted mess one way or the other.
Sonny: All right, you're right. The respect, the power, they're -- they were all a part of me, and I'm not sure who I am without that.
Kate: But you can be the same man. Sonny: Yes -
Kate: You can command the same amount of respect. Look at Jax. Look at Nikolas Cassadine.
Sonny: Jax was rich before, you know, before he turned 18 and Nikolas was born to it. So, I mean, they're both members of the club -
Kate: Yeah, right, and they're both envious of you. Oh, they'd rather cut their tongues out than admit it, sonny. You didn't have a trust fund to fall back on.
Sonny: No.
Kate: You made everything that you have. Do you want to know the dirty little secret about that club? Nobody cares where the money comes from.
Sonny: Well, that's a bit cynical.
Kate: They're my people. Apparently, all I aspire to be.
Sonny: Be careful what you wish for.
Kate: Look, the coffee business was just supposed to be a front, right?
Kate: But you used to joke about how well it was doing, how it could be your main source of income. Well, this is your chance to see if that can happen.
Sonny: I know this transition is not going to be easy. When Mike got roughed up by that loan shark, my -- my instinct kicked in. You know what I wanted to do? I wanted -- I wanted to beat that guy down -
Kate: Ok, I -- I am -- I am not fooling myself about this transition either, Sonny. But you need to remember why you walked away from the violence, why you walked away from the mob.
Sonny: All right. You've given me something to think about.
Kate: Well, here's one more thing to think about.
Sonny: Hey, I'll see you, ok?
Mayor Floyd: This department has become a joke and you've turned me into a walking punch line.
Mac: Nobody reads the newspapers anymore.
Mayor Floyd: Oh, really? 800 calls to my office today.
Mac: Well, why don't you go answer them? Go make a speech, mayor, all right? Go scrape some mud off your face and fling it at someone else. I'm not here to kiss your ass -
Mayor Floyd: Organized crime is taking over this town and the criminals are laughing at you.
Mac: Sonny Corinthos isn't laughing. His son is in a coma with a bullet hole in his head.
Mayor Floyd: And did we arrest the shooter? Did we see that he was tried and convicted by the agents of justice? No, Ian Devlin was gunned down by a known hit man.
Mac: Ian Devlin was about to kill the only daughter I have left when Morgan shot him. So you know what? I'm not all that upset about it.
Mayor Floyd: Well, if I were you, commissioner, I would start to get a little upset. I would start by making some high profile arrests, something to show the people of this city that it's not the Wild West, and that they don't have to live in fear.
Mac: Something that would make a good sound byte?
Mayor Floyd: I was elected as a law and order mayor, and I would like some damn law and order! You idiot. Do you realize that that's Nikolas Cassadine?
Leyla: So my date's not up to your high standards, like your fiancée. Oh, that's right. He hasn't proposed.
[Woman chuckles]
Woman: Your mother is in there telling everybody you're practically engaged to some Persian doctor you work with. If this is the best you can do, you better stop her from embarrassing herself.
Spinelli: My inadequacies as an escort are becoming more apparent with every passing moment.
Leyla: What are you talking about? I'm having a wonderful time. Jhila's just jealous. Our mothers are friends, so they brag about us to each other. Makes us rivals somehow, you know? Look, she's in there having a miserable time because she can't get her boyfriend to commit. And I'm out here dancing with a wonderful, charming, intelligent man.
Maxie: Well, if you're going to insist on hanging around, I'm going to have to put you to work.
Johnny: Since I've got such a great knowledge of the fashion industry?
Maxie: It's not your brains I'm interested in. Kate made me promise to put these sample handbags back, and I can't quite reach the shelf. I'm going to need you to give me a boost.
Lulu: You aren't serious.
Maxie: Could you just give me a lift?
Johnny: I could just put them up there for you.
Lulu: Better yet, why don't you give up your transparent attempts to hit on Johnny?
Maxie: See what I mean about Lulu being pathetic? All I asked Johnny to do was a simple favor for me. You don't have to get all threatened.
[Elevator doors open]
Lulu: May I help you? Who was that?
Maxie: I have no idea. We're located in a hotel, you guys. People are always stopping by on accident.
Leyla: That was a lovely reception, mom.
Farah: Too bad you spent most of it out here with your friend. Thank you for escorting my daughter. And I look forward to meeting your boyfriend soon.
Leyla: God, go ahead, say it. I'm a coward. I wanted to tell her, but I just don't want to disappoint her tonight. I'll tell her I'm not seeing Leo -- eventually. I want to thank you for a lovely evening.
Spinelli: Well, my evenings are usually reserved for cyber-dominance. This was a -- a welcome change.
[Spinelli chuckles]
Lloyd: It must've been some kind of wedding.
Virgil: What makes y say that?
Lloyd: Iranians, you know? They burn our flag and then they come over here and spend that oil money. Look at her. She's a good-looking terrorist.
Woman: Since everything in your father's house was destroyed in the fire, I thought a furnished place might be best. Claudia: Yeah, thankfully, the owner had decent taste. So why did he leave?
Woman: Moved in with his new wife.
Claudia: Wow, that is a great view of the metro court hotel.
Woman: The owner of this apartment is also co-owner of the metro. He was living here while it was being built, kept an eye on construction.
Claudia: I'll take it.
Woman: We haven't discussed price or lease options.
Claudia: That's ok. Don't bother me with that, I said I'll take it.
Woman: I'll draw up the papers right away, Ms. Zacchara.
Claudia: Thank you.
[Phone rings]
Johnny: Yeah.
Claudia: Johnny, guess where I'm calling you from? Our new home.
Alexis: Kate, I'm sorry, I don't normally like to ask favors like this of my friends, but I really need you to talk to sonny. I need you to convince him that he's not doing what's right for Kristina.
Kate: Oh, Alexis, no, I'm sorry. I know -- I know you're doing what you think is best for Kristina, but I actually don't think that sonny should've given up Morgan. And I don't think he should give up Kristina, either.
[Alexis scoffs]
Alexis: So it's ok with you that she lives in -- in a constant threat of violence?
Kate: No, it's not. He signed over his entire criminal operation to Jason. He's a legitimate coffee importer now. Alexis: Do you honestly believe that?
Kate: Alexis, what I believe is that sonny loves his children. What I believe is that he's willing to do anything for them, including remaking his life. He signed everything away.
Alexis: Kate, do you honestly think a piece of paper is going to stop sonny from getting back what he wants?
Kate: What do you mean?
Alexis: I mean that it's just some sick and twisted dance that Carly and sonny do. It's only a matter of time before they get back together.
Kate: Oh, well, Alexis, I think you underestimate him. I think you underestimate me.
Alexis: Well, I didn't mean that. I'm sorry, I didn't. I'm just under a lot of pressure. There's a window of opportunity here where sonny is still feeling some remorse about what happened, and I know that he'll get Morgan back, but there's still a chance to save Kristina if you would agree to help.
Carly: You know, I feel sorry for Alexis. I really do. D I can see why she wants to get Kristina away from sonny, but there's nothing I can do about it. Sonny's not going to listen to me.
Jax: Yes, and Alexis is my friend the same way that Jason is your friend. But Kristina, she's been left unprotected while Morgan is now safe, and that's just not fair.
Carly: I can't force sonny to give up his daughter. It's not my problem.
Jax: But you might be able to persuade him. Look, I'm asking you to try, not as a favor to me, but as a favor from one mother to another.
Sonny: Hey, listen, can you call me as soon as you can, please? Because I need to talk to you about something, ok, Bernie? Thank you very much.
Diane: Hmm, it was my understanding that Mr. Abrams was now working exclusively for Jason.
Sonny: Yeah, well, Diane, your understanding is not really required, unless it's for legal matters.
Diane: Very well. Your copies, fully executed -
Diane: Of the order of custodial renunciation. You no longer have any legal rights or obligations to Michael or Morgan.
Sonny: Ok, thank you.
Diane: They're copies, Sonny.
Sonny: Yeah.
Diane: Destroying them may give you some sense of satisfaction, but it's not going to change the legal realties. Sonny: You think a piece of paper makes something real, Diane?
Diane: Ok, I should warn you that if you have changed your mind and you now want Michael and Morgan back, you're going to have to find yourself a new attorney.
Sonny: Why is that? Because Jason wants Carly to take my kids and -- and is now running things?
