Tuesday June 17, 2008 - Part 2


Johnny: We are scamming my father, lulu, while we look for evence to incriminate him. You need to trust me because this is our only opportunity to do this.

Lulu: The one that I don't trust is maxie, but it doesn't help when you're letting her drape herself all over you.

Johnny: That is not what she was doing.

Lulu: She is into you, johnny. You say that you're on to her, but then I keep finding you guys together.

Johnny: Oh, so you trust me except for when it come to maxie.

Lulu: Do I trust that you would risk your life for me? Absolutely. Do I think that you'd protect me from you father? No question. But do I think that you would be faithful to me under any circumstances? I used to. I just -- I'm not sure now.

Johnny: Then you don't know me at all.

Alexis: I have no idea why I'm here. I really should be at home with the girls, packing, arranging to change our identities as we move to the other side of the planet.

Jerry: Why don't you just take a few cleansing breaths and just, you know, relax.

Alexis: I never relax, jerry. That's because my children are always in danger.

Jerry: I don't understand.

Alexis: I thought I made myself perfectly clear during my paranoid rant about sonny and carly at the haunted star. I don't know, maybe I spoke too softly.

Jerry: No, no, no, you projected beautifully. But -- but why now? I mean, you've held yourself together so admirably for so long, why choose tonight to have a delayed reaction about michael's shooting.

Alexis: Maybe it was just the way sonny and carly were standing together, acting as if nothing had happened.

Jerry: No, no, you've seen them talk a dozen times. Something clearly set you off. What is it?

Alexis: Anthony zacchara came to my office today and he was very polite and pleasant and casual when he remarked that my daughter would make great leverage. He wouldn't hesitate for a minute to hurt my little girl.

Jerry: Well, I promise you i will never let that happen.

Max: Ms. Davis goes on and on about the safety of her kids, and then she takes off with some psycho like jerry jacks. Go figure.

Diane: Much as I admire alexis for many of her qualities, her taste in men is dubious at best.

Max: Why do you think she lost it like that?

Diane: That was my fault.

Max: I doubt that, diane.

Diane: Alexis asked me to find a legal way to compel sonny to relinquish his parental rights to kristina, and tonight I had to tell that there's no way.

Max: You were just being honest. You know, I don't think ms. Davis ever really understood how the boss thinks anyway.

Diane: Sadly, I think the only woman who can consistently deal with sonny is carly.

Carly: I want you to know that I am so grateful that you gave up morgan.

Sonny: It's not going to bring michael back.

Carly: I know that, but it's going to keep morgan safe. I always talked about how selfish you were.

Carly: You know, sonny, I know that you need to rebuild your life any way you can, but i just -- I don't think kate's going to make you happy.

Alexis: I don't need one murderer defending me from another one.

Jerry: Well, with all due respect, that's exactly what you need.

Alexis: Well, at least you admit it -- you're a criminal.

Jerry: Yes, I'm everything you ever said I was. I'm hateful, amoral, ruthless, deadly. You know I took a lobby full of people hostage, I shot robin, i poisoned your nephew. That's nothing compared to what I've done. I can and will do whatever it takes to get what I want, and what I want is for you to feel safe.

Alexis: Hmm, there might be a better way to do this.

Jerry: Well, anthony zacchara has committed no crime. And who do you think is going to protect your dauter, the police? Or you could go to sonny or jason morgan, but that will create a mob war, which will put kristina in even more danger.

Alexis: Running away is looking better every minute.

Jerry: No, no, no, no, there's a simpler solution. Let me handle this. I promise you that anthony zacchara will not hurt you or kristina or molly. If he does, he will disappear from the face of the earth.

Alexis: You mean you're going to kill him?

Jerry: I refuse to incriminate myself in front of the district attorney. You'll just have to trust me. Can you do that?

Alexis: You know what scares me is that I really want to.

Jerry: Try me.

Jason: Thanks.

Claudia: Did you check and make sure they got the order right, 'cause I ordered pepperoni, i I want to make sure --

Spinelli: The jackal will assist his --

Claudia: Ok, stay right here until we get some food in you, ok? Why didn't you check to see what was in it? I ordered pepperoni. You're not big on conversation, are you?

Jason: You know what? You can leave anytime.

Claudia: I am going to have a slice of pizza. I'm hungry, so shoot me.

[Spinelli giggles]

Claudia: Sorry, bad joke. Well, I haven't had time to stock my new refrigerator in my new apartment since you burned down my house. So I am going to eat the slice and then I'll leave.

Spinelli: We're delighted to have the company of such a charming and dare I say fetching young lady.

Jason: Shut up, spinelli, and eat your pizza.

Claudia: You know what -- stop. Why don't you stop ordering him around? Maybe if you treated him better, he wouldn't have to go around acting like an australian romeo just to feel good about himself.

Spinelli: The jackal appreciates your spirited defense, but it is most unnecessary.

Claudia: Well, you know what, it's not. Someone has to stand up to this bully. How could you possibly have such a sweet friend and treat him like dirt?

Carly: Thought you'd still be at the office with kate or giselle.

Jax: No, giselle had a conference call with her editors, so I came home to wait for you.

Carly: Oh. I noticed you didn't say good-bye when you left the haunted star.

Jax: Did you want me to?

Carly: Well, you know, you looked a little busy.

Jax: Well, so did you. Did you settle anything with sonny?

Carly: We both agreed not to hurt each other anymore.

Jax: Well, uh, that's a start.

Carly: Hey, alexis is crazy. I am never getting back together with sonny.

Jax: I know you want to believe that and so do I, but I couldn't help but notice when alexis attacked you, you immediately jumped to each other's defense.

Sonny: Glad you called.

Kate: Well, it was either that or obsess over what alexis said tonit.

Sonny: Well, you know, alexis is in a lot of pain --

Kate: A lot of pain, I know.

Sonny: She wants to protect kristina from me because I'm a, you know, I'm such a monster. But if she had to do it all over again, she would. You know why? Because we love that little girl.

Kate: I realize that, sonny.

Sonny: Yeah, well, I mean, she brings us so much joy. But that's what, you know, that is what alexis keeps leaving out.

Kate: Well, she's scared, sonny. She's looking back at a lot of regret. She got involved with you despite all the warnings that you and carly would always be tied. No matter how much you and carly say it, you're not really ever over.

Sonny: Are we -- are we still talking about alexis, or -- or are you talking about yourself? Are you making it easier for bacteria

Maxie: No johnny? Is that why you drped the sweetness and light?

Lulu: Maxie, I am really sorry about georgie. I know how much she meant to you. I would be devastated if either of my brothers were killed. I would not wish that kind of grief on anybody.

Maxie: Yeah, ok, you already apologized to me at the overlook. Why did you call me here?

Lulu: It turns out you didn't follow johnny tonight, but you have been setting him up a bunch of times.

Maxie: I don't see him here complaining.

Lulu: Where is your pride? Why aren't you humiliated by his rejection?

Maxie: Johnny didn't reject me tonight. He was actually really nice.

Lulu: Stop throwing yourself at my boyfriend.

Maxie: But I like johnny, so why in the world would I stop?

Spinelli: Vixenella is sorely mistaken. Stone cold is a superlative friend to the jackal.

Claudia: Not that I can see.

Spinelli: Stone cold is loyal and supportive, and not only has he saved the jackal's life numerous times, he provides guidance and counsel, a well-paid vocation and this superb place to live -- granted my chambers are of a regrettably pink shade. But you know the pink hue of my regrettably pink room has actually proved most beneficial to my focus and concentration.

Claudia: Hey, none of that makes up for the way that he treats you.

Spinelli: Stone cold is occasionally terse in speech, so that may have given vixenella the wrong idea as to his inherently generous nature.

Claudia: Ok, let me see if I've got this right. You pay spinelli and you let him live in your pink room. He does all your computer hacking, which is a crime, by the way. So you have this kid breaking the law and getting shot at. In my book, that makes you a pretty lousy friend.

Alexis: That was a bad impulse. It's not going to happen again.

Jerry: I believe you said something similar when we were under e roulette table at the haunted star.

Alexis: Did I? Don't remind me of that.

Jerry: Well, I enjoyed it thoroughly.

Alexis: So did I, but then again, I have really bad taste in men. See, I only like them and am attracted to them when they're dangerous, difficult and unhinged -- nothing personal.

Jerry: Then it's certainly clear why you're attracted to me now.

Alexis: I seem to be on the brink of something disastrous. This can't be good.

Jerry: Well, now might be a good time to take another breath.

Alexis: I'm breathing just fine.

Jerry: Well, you've seen the worst of me and the future can only be a pleasant surprise.

Alexis: Your argument is inconclusive.

Jerry: You're safe with me, alexis.

Alexis: No, I'm not.

Jerry: Oh, I see the problem.

Alexis: You do?

Jerry: Yes, you've made up your mind to always be disappointed. You're convinced that when it comes to romance, nothing beautiful is going to happen to you. But you're wrong, and I'm going to prove it to you.

Carly: I'm always going to care about sonny. We have children together. We have years of shared history.

Jax: Yeah, more than you have shared with me.

Carly: What difference does that make? It's in the past.

Jax: Well, I'm sure you believed that every time that you split up with him.

Carly: Oh -- it's different this time. I'm married to you. And besides, something broke in me when I found out that sonny saw that rifle and he protected kate instead of his own son.

Jax: Look, I'm the last person to defend sonny, but I'm assuming that michael was further away than kate.

Carly: I don't care. I don't care. I've heard it. Yeah, I've heard it. Michael was farther away. Kate was right there. It was sonny's first instinct. It makes sense in my head, but not in my heart. And you know what? Everything's changed.

Kate: Carly's been basically hostile towards me since the day that we met.

Sonny: Right.

Kate: I'm assuming that she's threatened by the ways that we're different, my career, my social circle. She's told me time and time again, how I'm not strong enough to hold on to you, how I don't really understand you. The implication being that you share some sort of bond that we never will, and it used to make me furious. But after tonight -- I don't know, but maybe my anger is because I'm actually afraid she might be right.

Sonny: Come here. You were the first girl that i ever loved, the girl that i wanted to run away with in bensonhurst. You know me better than anyone.

Kate: Do I, sonny?

Sonny: Where is this coming from?

Kate: Look, I'm not very happy with myself, the way that I've handled carly through michael's tragedy. No, she's a mother, sonny, and she's going through unimaginable pain. It's not right for me to make judgments, but I love you.

Sonny: Right.

Kate: And to see her yelling at you outside of michael's I.C.U. Room, blaming you, making you give up your sons, it's -- it's not right.

Sonny: Ok, she wasn't very nice. We all make mistakes. Carly made a mistake --

Kate: Oh, my --

Sonny: What's the --

Kate: There it is.

Sonny: There it is what?

Kate: You're defending her.

Sonny: Oh, please.

Kate: Do you see? No matter what you've been through, you two are a team. Alexis was yelling at both of you. And the truth is, you and carly will always be a part of each other's lives.

Sonny: Maybe that's true, but you're the one that I love. It was that day at the airport.

Maxie: Johnny is obviously attracted to me.

Lulu: Johnny knows you're a slut.

Maxie: I guess he likes me that way.

Lulu: Ok, if you don't stop throwing yourself at johnny, i will screw up so badly at work that we'll both get fired.

Maxie: I have a better idea. You're a spencer, which means you're a gambler, so why don't we take one spin on the roulette wheel -- all or nothing. If it lands on redi get a date with johnny, free d clear. If it lands on black, I'll leave johnny alone forood.

Lulu: I get to spin the wheel.

Maxie: Fine by me. Oh, you know, just restate the rules so I know it's fair.

Lulu: Red, you get a date with johnny. Black, you stay the hell away from him.

Johnny: Do I look like a poker chip? I'm not going to be wagered like one.

Lulu: Whoa, johnny, that -- this is not what -- that's not what this is about.

Johnny: I know what it's about. It's about the challenge, ght? And I'm always up for a challenge, so I'll take the date with maxie.

Carly: What's going on? We sat here on this couch a few nights ago and we talked about how much we loved each other. You gave me this bracelet. I touch this thing 20 times a day and I think about you.

Jax: This bracelet's for our memories.

Carly: We already have so many wonderful ones, jax.

Jax: I know, with many more to come I hope.

Carly: With a lifetime more to come. You know, I told you when i married u that --

Jax: Shut up.

Carly: I was so grateful.

Jax: I love you, and I always will.

Sonny: When you saw me at the haunted star, you knew something was wrong.

Kate: Are you going to finally tell me?

Sonny: Yes, I am. Jason came over this afternoon to give me a father's day present from michael, a life vest for me and the boys. And then out of nowhere, carly shows up with another gift from morgan, little handprints that he made.

Kate: Oh, sonny.

Sonny: So here I am, standing in my living room with two gifts from my boys that are gone from my life. So, you know, I got to tell you, it felt -- it felt like a bottomless pit was just going to open up and I was going be swallowed in.

Kate: Ani wish you would have called me.

Sonny: You know, I thought about calling you and then I thought, you know what, I'm not going to -- I don't know. I mean, you do make me feel better all the time, that there's hope for a future without violence, and a chance to see my boys. You, uh, you make me believe i can have a life. You -- you make me believe in myself.

Sonny: And I don't know if that's selfish or what, but i love you for that.

Kate: I do believe in you, sonny, and I do believe that we can have a wonderful life together.

Jason: It's true, spinelli. I haven't done you any favors, that's for sure.

Spinelli: No, the jackal protests the veracity of that most misleading statement. Your grasshopper was already in toils with mobsters, namely the shark-skinned darth alcazar, when he and stone cold first met.

Claudia: Darth alcazar?

Spinelli: Lorenzo alcazar paid the jackal heftily for his cyber services, but then stone cold came and changed my life for the better by being a bastion of integrity.

Claudia: From one mobster to the next -- yeah, that's really bettering yourself, spinelli.

Spinelli: While the jackal appreciates vixenella's assistance and concern, he must ask her to refrain from engendering guilt in stone cold on the jackal's behalf.

Claudia: It's sweet the way he hero worships you. It's like your his older brother.

Spinelli: The jackal could only hope to be worthy of a sibling-like bond with stone cold.

Claudia: Being an older sibling is a sacred bond. You always have to be there for your little brother. You never, ever let him down.

Jason: You finished with your pizza?

Claudia: You're not good at taking advice, are you? Ok, I can take a hint.

Spinelli: Vixenella's welcome to more soda if she likes.

Claudia: Thanks, spinelli, but your hero is practically booting me out the door. So have another piece of that pizza, and you'll feel great in the morning, ok? Bye.

Man: Stay here. The man who delivered your food was exposed to the asian ague, a highly contagious illness. To avoid further outbreak, you're all under quarantine. No one may leave the premises.

>> Stay tuned for scenes from the next "general hospital."

>> On the next "general hospital" --

Nikolas: So you're sleeping with jerry jacks?

Epiphany: Dr. Scorpio can't take any calls right now.

Carly: This is my hotel. Get out now!

Kate: Will you please do something with your wife.
