Wednesday June 18 - Part 2


Alexis: Nikolas, please. Let's not argue about it. There's no point.

Nikolas: I knew this was going to happen.

Alexis: How did you know? I didn't.

Nikolas: I just -- you were attracted to him when he was posing as -- as mr. Brosnan or whatever the hell he called himself while hiding at wyndemere and, remember, poisoning me. You remember any of that?

Alexis: It's really not a good time to be facetious.

Nikolas: My god. He -- he enjoyed withholding that antidote from me just so he could watch me suffer. He blackmailed emily just to keep her quiet, held 16 people, alexis, hostage in a hotel room, then blew it up. Shall i go on? Because there's more.

Alexis: No, no, no, please, please.

Nikolas: How could -- how could you sleep with someone who hurt so many people that you say you care about, hmm? He's sick, alexis, and if these -- if these flowers are any indication of that, he is playing you, playing you.

Alexis: What do you want from me? I have bad taste in men.

Nikolas: Bad taste -- what -- you have a redemption complex. That's what you have. You -- you try to see the good in all these terrible men, and -- and then you try to save them, and then when they turn on you, alexis, you hate him. You did it with sonny. You did it with ric. You did it with my uncle when i was growing up, and you did it with your own damn father. You tried to see -- see the best in mikkos, and then when he dumped you -- dumped you --

alexis: I don't need you to analyze all my issues because there's just too many of them, and if you could just not do that right now, i'd be really, really grateful.

Nikolas: And jerry, jerry jacks is far worse than any of those men. He'll not only crush your heart, he may even kill you.

[Alexis sighs]

Alexis: You are right. He's an awful person, but he did all those things before he reunited with jax.

Nikolas: Oh, great, jax -- jax saves him I -- i feel so much better now. Thank you, really.

Alexis: I see a different side to jerry.

Nikolas: Of course, you do. The mantra of every person who has ever been in a destructive relationship. And no wonder. You know it by heart because, like me, you're a cassadine. You grew up in insanity and terror, but you don't have to bring it into your life.

Alexis: Oh, for god's sake, nikolas. I'm not trying to save him. He's well beyond redemption. It's not like i'm in love with him.

Nikolas: Then why are you wasting your time?

Alexis: I am a single, working mother with two small children at home that people are trying to kill. I'm under a lot of stress. Do you have any idea how long it's been since i've gotten any, flowers to my office? Don't i deserve a little somethin' somethin' every now and then?

Nikolas: Jerry jacks is a sociopath who is seducing you so you won't prosecute him.

Alexis: Whatever. Now you've insulted me as a woman and a d.A.

Nikolas: I'm just -- i am seriously afraid for you, alexis.

Alexis: Don't be. Don't worry. Just keep thinking of me as your crazy aunt alexis and go. Go do your clinic. I will make sure that floyd does everything that you need him to do.

Nikolas: I strongly suggest that you reconsider your somethin' somethin' with jerry.

Alexis: Ok, yeah.

Nikolas: Take a moment?

Alexis: I will.

Nikolas: And think about what the hell you're doing.

Alexis: I promise. Oh, my god.

Diane: Whoa. Well, i guess we all know where you were last night.

Sonny: If anthony didn't send you, then it must have been alexis, so just tell her that i'm not going to change my mind about kristina.

Ric: I came here on my own accord as your brother. Look, i know you don't want to believe me, but i respect how you're handling this whole situation. I mean, especially after everything that happened with michael. I would have expected you were going to go out for vengeance.

Sonny: Uh, you know, she was dead. Investigation's closed.

Ric: Yeah, but that -- that wouldn't have been the way it was before, sonny. You would've had a bloody mob war.

Sonny: Exactly. And what good would that have done for my children?

Ric: Well, you're a far better father than i ever thought you were.

Sonny: No. No, no, no, no, i'm not. I wasn't a good father to michael. If i was, then he wouldn't be, you know, in a coma, tied to a bed with a feeding tube in his gut. Every choice i made for michael was wrong. I created this world for him that he couldn't survive in, so now i've come, thank god, to a point where i realize that in order for that world to change, i have to change.

Ric: I never would've thought i would've heard you say that.

Sonny: Too late for michael, unfortunately, but it's not too late for morgan and kristina. So here's -- here's the thing, ric. Um, i'm going to do the right thing. I'm going to set an example, ok? Because the way i figure it is if i want my children to live a decent life, then their father has to live a decent life.

Ric: Well, i know you don't believe me but, uh, i hope you succeed.

Kate: Think light, dakota. Think fun. Imagine that you're in paris.

Photographer: Tilt backwards a little. Beautiful, beautiful. Ah, that's good.

Kate: Stop, stop, stop, stop. Hold on. Could you get that glare off her face, and can someone get me a jacket?

Kate: No, no, no. Wait, wait, wait. It's not quite right yet. There's still something missing.

Maxie: What about the green bag?

Kate: The green bag could work.

Dakota: I can make it work.

Kate: Fine, get the green bag, and someone do something about her hair. Thank you.

Lulu: You just got lucky.

Maxie: Whatever.

Kate: Ok, let's get the shot.

Photographer: Hold it right there, right there. Nice. Ok, now a big smile. That's great. I like that one. Perfect, perfect.

Carly: What the hell is going on here

Kate: You're holding up the shoot, carly.

Carly: No, i'm ending the shoot, i want this junk out of here.

Kate: One move from any of you and you'll never work for me again.

Carly: Did you even think about asking my permission, kate?

Kate: Carly, you could be grateful, i'm giving you tons of free promotion. "Crimson" is going to be the hottest title in the fashion industry, i am giving you pages of free advertising with a top photographer, with a top model. You could be thanking me.

Carly: You're interfering with my business

kate: No, i'm not. Your customers are going to have a story to tell when they get home, your hotel will seem hip, cool.

Carly: Yeah, until someone trips over a cord or a kid pulls a light on top of them. And since when can you do stuff in my lobby for free?

Kate: Carly, the sooner you step aside, the sooner we'll be done, and out of your way.

Carly: This is my hotel, i don't step aside for anyone, least of all you.

Maxie: Don't you think that you should do something?

Lulu: I'm just the second assistant, remember? Anyway, no one can reason with carly when she gets like this.

Maxie: Carly should be thanking kate that she wants to do her photo shoot in this hotel.

Lulu: Kate should be apologizing to carly and asking her to do her this favor just this once and then maybe carly would back down, but kate won't do it, so forget about it.

Kate: Look, carly, i'm sure it was a surprise to walk in on a project of this caliber. I appreciate your concern and i really didn't mean to upset you.

Carly: Don't talk down to me.

Kate: Carly, i have nothing but empathy for your situation. Maybe -- look, maybe you could take the morning off, maybe it's too soon to come back to work.

Carly: Get out. All of you get out of my hotel. Marty, go back to the desk, curtis, please find my couch. Lulu, maxie, i want this stuff packed up. Get it out of my hotel, kate, or i will have security dump it on the loading dock -- now.

Jax: Hey, what's going on here?

Kate: Oh, thank god, jax, a voice of reason. Will you please do something with your wife?

[Doorbell rings]

trevor: Look at you? Still sullen, but opening the doors all by yourself, without any guards? Very impressive. Come on, sonny, aren't you goingto invite me in for a fresh cup of coffee?

Sonny: If you're bringing me threats from anthony zacchara, you might as well just call jason, because, you know what i'm talking about.

Trevor: Well, i suppose i could do that.

Sonny: All right.

Trevor: But jason doesn't need my help. You do.

Lucky: You know, i think we should break camp soon.

Sam: No, i wish we could stay here forever. It's just that, you know, it's been really great to have you all to myself.

Lucky: You know, if i don't pay enough attention to you, i'm really sorry.

Sam: Please, lucky, you -- you are great, and i love spending time with you, wherever we are. I love spending time with you here or at the haunted star, i mean, in my hot tub. Anywhere, anywhere, it's just that i know that your time, there's a lot of demands on it back home. And i just really want to enjoy our time while it lasts.

Lucky: You know, you always make it sound like we're about to fall apart. I wish you would just believe that i do care about you.

Sam: No, i do, i do believe that. I know you care. I mean, it's just -- come on, let's face it, lucky.You were in love with elizabeth way before i showed up. And it's not -- it's not that think that you don't care about me, or that you don't want to spend time with me or what we have isn't real, because i know it's real. It's just -- it's just the way that it is.

Lucky: Listen, i don't want to think about our life in port chuck, as my dad would say.

[Both laughing]

lucky: I just want us to be here, right here now with you. And no matter what's going on in the rest of our life, i just don't want us to end.

Sam: Ok.

Diane: After all the lectures, all the snide remarks, all the arguments, this is where you end up. Although i must say, i'm not really surprised. Jerry jacks was gallantry personified at the haunted star.

Alexis: I had a bad day. It got better.

Diane: Don't you see the contradiction? You rail at sonny in a public place and then you crawl into bed with somebody who's even worse.

Alexis: I know.

Diane: So, what are you going to do?

Alexis: Exactly. Coffee?

Diane: Please, pour some for yourself, while you're at it. You need it.

Alexis: Is it that obvious?

Diane: To the trained eye, yes, although you do look happier, god help you.

Alexis: You have no idea.

Diane: So the sex must have been incredible, or was there a trunk show at the flower shop?

Alexis: There are no words, and i am a very articulate person.

Diane: It's irresistible, isn't it? The urge to slip into bed with somebody who is dangerous, well, homicidal even, to others, but is tender and protective toward you. It's riding the untamed horse, charming the deadly cobra, defending the wolf in the forest.

Alexis: Watching the animal channel again?

Diane: Mm-hmm. Just don't turn your back on him, metaphorically speaking.

Alexis: I won't. Promise.

Diane: So, now that we've both given it up, so to say, i must say max seems tame by comparison. You win, although your victory is dubious at best.

Alexis: Hey, those are mine.

Diane: Oh, yes, and hard earned, i'm sure. But after all the lectures you've given me about dear max, this is the least you can do for me.

Alexis: Good point, you can have that one.

Diane: This one, and let this flower symbolize our promise, woman to woman, to allow each other the freedom to enjoy the bad boy of her choice.

[Laughing]

jerry: Hola, senora.

Diane: Senorita, hombre.

Jerry: Perdon.

Diane: Nice buds.

Jerry: Gracias.

Diane: Yeah, whatever.

Alexis: Why don't you just take out a billboard.

Jerry: Oh, come on, you don't even fool me for a moment, darling. You're not even the tiniest bit mad.

Maxie: Ah, kate will have this all straightened out in just one minute.

Photographer: She'd better, i'm on the clock.

Maxie: Well, i don't think kate's going to win this one.

Lulu: Good instinct. 20 Bucks says carly shuts us down. Anyone else, anyone else? Place a bet.

Woman: I'm in.

Lulu: Yeah?

Maxie: You would bet against your own magazine?

Lulu: I thought you liked to gamble, you did last night.

Maxie: Why would you bring that up? That has nothing to do with this?

Lulu: Well, why don't you calm down, drama, and let's have some fun, right? Anyone else, place your bets?

Carly: Did you know about this?

Kate: I left messages at all your numbers.

Jax: You did?

Carly: You didn't call me.

Kate: This all came up very quickly, jax. Some of the best people in the industry are standing right over there. This is going to be wonderful publicity for you.

Carly: She tied up our lobby without permission, she's costing us money, and i want her gone.

Kate: I need this to work, jax. And because you're my major investor, you need this to work, too.

Jax: Right.

Diane: Hi.

Max: Hi.

Diane: What on earth is going on?

Max: It's your kind of stuff right here -- fancy clothes, fashion, and, uh, i think this model over here is famous.

Diane: That's dakota, she is the face of the moment. And look at her shoes. Oh, be still my heart.

Max: You want to watch and i can bring lunch over?

Diane: That's so sweet of you.

Max: Well, after all, you do watch the dodgers games with me, so...

Diane: Yes, but i love watching the dodger games with you, especially when the games take forever, and we have to find interesting ways to amuse ourselves.

Max: You're my most valuable player.

Diane: Back at you, and that's for you.

Max: What's with the flower?

Diane: Well, call it a celebration. Alexis davis is officially no longer criticizing me for sleeping with you.

Max: Why?

Diane: Because she's sleeping with someone much worse.

Max: Ah.

Alexis: No, no, this is very unprofessional, to bring this tribute into my workplace. The people out there, they're all gossiping about this, so you need to take all of them, every single one of them out.

Jerry: Why? Come on, this one, this one is for the first time. I love that one. And this one, mm, this one's for the chair, and that one over there, that one's for the bed. The third time we were mostly in bed, weren't we?

Alexis: Stop it.

Jerry: That definitely wasn't part of your vocabulary last night. And this one, this one's for the shower and that one, well, that one i can't really describe.

Alexis: A-choo.

Jerry: Bless you.

Alexis: This is bringing out my allergies.

Jerry: Is that because you finally took a leap of faith, a leap off the chandelier and trusted me?

Alexis: There was a chandelier?

Jerry: I could arrange for one.

[Alexis sneezes again]

jerry: Bless you.

Alexis: You're not funny. You have to go. You have to go right now because i've got things that i have to --

jerry: Why are you coming up with all of these tiresome, tiresome excuses after such a wonderful night?

Alexis: Because i spent that wonderful night rolling around in a bed and whatever with a murderous sociopath.

Jerry: Alexis, i'm good for you, alexis, and you may even be good for me. I mean, you chose to trust me last night, and i am genuinely honored -- i am. And i will tell you as many times as you need to hear, you will always be safe with me. I promise, i promise.

Sonny: We both know i don't need your help.

Trevor: You're making a very convincing show out of staying away from the mob.

Sonny: Mm.

Trevor: You probably even believe it yourself, but i tell you, i don't think it's going to last very long.

Sonny: Thank you, trevor, for the vote of confidence. Now you can leave.

Trevor: Sonny, do you have any idea why you are so sullen, angry, and demanding, always telling people what to do? Because, as a kid you were a power junkie, you still are, and i respect that. Coffee beans, they're never gonna do it.

Sonny: Why do you care?

Trevor: Because you are going to want that power back, and everything that goes along with it, but jason morgan is not going to give it to you. And you are going to be standing out in the cold. You're going to need an ally. I never thought that i would ever say this -- you are going to need me

Lucky: We aren't here to make any trouble, so don't worry.

Sam: Yes, i ran into an old friend in jail and he helped us out, ok?

Lucky: So, any sight of luke spencer?

Bartender: There was this one cowboy who stood off to the side, big hat, dusty, like he was working the cattle.

Lucky: What, do you think it was luke?

Bartender: Could have been, but it was dark, and i was busy.

Sam: Come on. All right, well, if luke was this close, why didn't he show up last night?

Lucky, what do we do now?

Lucky: We get the jewels where we stashed them.

Sam: Perfect, why not? Ah, for me. "Cowboy, thanks for the funds, i'll check in soon. Give my love to lesley lu, barbara jean and tracy, happy trails." Happy trails?

Lucky: Yeah, daddy gets a little carried away sometimes, but, um, we did it.

Sam: We did.

Lucky: Congratulations.

Sam: Sweet. The only catch is, it's over, and now we have to go back to port chuck.

Lucky: Mm, yeah, we do?

Sam: Do we?

Lucky: What's the hurry?

[Laughing]

trevor: I understand, sonny, but eventually there's going to come a time when you want to take back that organization that you built. And i'm going to broker a truce between you and anthony.

Sonny: I don't want anything to do with anthony zacchara.

Trevor: I can't say that i blame you but, you see, anthony is old and he is not well.

Sonny: Right.

Trevor: But his son shows promise. It will be a while yet before johnny's ready.

Sonny: Well, you got that right. He tried to kill me once, look what -- you know, didn't happen. So, i don't know what you're talking --

trevor: Sonny, he just doesn't understand that we all share a common interest. We are part of your life, sonny, and, whether you like it or not, you're really starting to miss it a little bit every day. Counting coffee beans is just not going to do it for you, and when you are through, you'll call me.

Sonny: I will never need anything from you, trevor.

Trevor: Come on, sonny, never say never. I know, it's trite, but it's true, yeah?

Sonny: Bye, trevor. Bye, trevor

alexis: You have to go.

Jerry: No, i don't.

Alexis: Yeah, you do, because i've got work to do.

Jerry: No, but we'll only have one morning after.

Alexis: Well, we've got it, it was good, it was good for me, was it good for you? You have to go.

Jerry: Did you hear anything i said to you?

Alexis: I did.

Jerry: We'll only have one morning after, this is our first night, and our morning after is slipping away as we speak. I've come to savor every moment of it, i'm sorry.

Alexis: Does anyone knock around here?

Diane: I'm happy for alexis, in a way. But while you are a wonderful and decent man, in a dangerous profession, and extraordinary in so many other areas --

max: Stop it, you're embarrassing me.

Diane: Jerry jacks is psychotic, he's a homicidal maniac.

Max: I know, all right , i was a hostage, i got shot.

Diane: Well, i worry about alexis, i really do. I wish she never even met jerry jacks.

Max: Listen, all right, i'll go get lunch, all right? You stay here and watch this fashion show, get your mind off things, ok?

Diane: Ok -- um, what's in your hand?

Max: Oh, it's just a card.

Diane: A credit card for lunch?

Max: It's actually for room 417, but i know that you like fashion and i'm sure we'll have other times that we can sneak away.

Diane: [Laughing] have you lost your mind?

Max: All right.

Lulu: Ok, all bets are in, the house is closed.

Maxie: Are you done now, spencer? You think we could get back to work?

Lulu: Sure, why not?

Maxie: Then why don't we get everything ready just in case kate wins, she wants the blue silk and the patent mules.

Lulu: Ok, i'll get it.

Maxie: No, no, no we should walk through the clothes together. I want us to be ready when kateis ready.

Lulu: Ok

kate: Look, i am terribly sorry that i didn't reach you, but i think that you can understand the importance of this shoot.

Jax: Yeah, it's just a lot to walk in on.

Carly: Yeah, you're damn right it is.

Jax: Inconveniencing, some of it is.

Kate: Look, jax, you invested in me because you trusted me, right? That's why you invested in "crimson." You need to trust me now.

This shoot is going to work out wonderfully for us, for all of us.

Carly: Ok, you're not really buying into this, are you?

Kate: Please, just try and reason with her.

Kate: Oh, i know what this is about.

Jax: I don't think i want to know about it.

Carly: Yeah, you're so afraid that i'm going to take sonny from you, you're moving in on jax.

>> On The Next "General Hospital" --

mac: I better not find patrick in there.

Kate: You're standing here defending another man.

Claudia: I'm in quarantine, i'll find some way to make the best of it.

Spinelli: Stone cold?.
