and Burn Notice crazy!
Maxie: Are you insane?
Matt: Would you take it easy?
Maxie: No. You stay away from me. I'm calling the cops.
Spinelli: Fiend!
Matt: Why are you --
[Spinelli grunting]
[Spinelli whimpering]
Matt: Calm down, man.
Spinelli: I'll get you.
Matt: Relax. Would you just try and relax? Ok?
Maxie: You leave spinelli alone. ____________________________________
Diane: As I mentioned earlier, you will not be getting out of here tonight.
Jason: Ok. How -- how bad is it?
Diane: It's too early to tell. The police officer in question, detective David Harper, maintains that he had a clean shot at Zacchara and that your actions --
Jason: Diane --
Diane: And that your actions enabled Zacchara to escape and take a hostage. Now in legal parlance, that's called aiding and abetting. And if Johnny Zacchara kills anyone while at large, the charge against you could be as an accessory. It also means that if he kills an officer of law enforcement, the charge will be murder with special circumstances.
Jason: Against me?
Diane: I find it so ironic that with all of your past alleged crimes you could now be facing a lethal injection for stopping a cop from shooting a lovestruck twenty-something-year-old girl. __________________________________________________________
Sasha: Mr. Corinthos.
Sonny: Ms. Donev. What did you need to see me about?
Sasha: Mr. Karpov wanted me to discuss the finer points of his deal with you.
Anthony: Those are string beans, and I want them cooked. Waitress: [Breathless] Ok.
Claudia: Do you really want to draw attention to yourself like that?
Anthony: Don't give me attitude, Claudia. You could see I'm not in the mood. Just tell me where your brother is. _________________________________________________________
Lulu: Wow. That's really terrible. When did the professor die?
Sal: Couple of months ago. My sister and I, we have the apartment downstairs. We always used to hear the professor playing. Then he stopped.Guy never went anywhere, not without letting us know. So I came up, knocked on the door, finally busted in. I found him dead.
Johnny: How did he die?
Sal: Seemed peaceful. It was in his sleep.
Johnny: That's nice. I mean, it's nice to know that the professor wasn't met with any sort of violence. He was truly a gentleman whose life was all about music.
Sal: And his students. Matter of fact, he talked about them all the time, even the ones who left. Funny thing is, I don't ever remember him sayingthe name "Joe." ________________________________________________________
Maxie: Back off.
Matt: Would you put that thing down?
Maxie: I'm not kidding, perv. I'll do it.
Matt: He attacked me.
Maxie: Spinelli, go get help.
Matt: In my own living room, I might add.
Spinelli: First of all, I would never leave you alone with a shirtless marauder.
Maxie: Your living room?
Spinelli: And secondly, I think we have little to fear from Dr. Hunter.
Maxie: He's walking around without his clothes on in my living room. My living room! Were you going to tell me that you're in the wrong house?
Matt: No.
Maxie: That's it.
Spinelli: Wait -- wait. He doesn't actually appear very hostile.
Maxie: He's half-naked claiming he lives here, Spinelli.
Matt: I do live here.
Maxie: I'm going to call the hospital and tell them that you snapped a bolt.
Robin: I guess you didn't get my message about your new roommate. ______________________________________
Sasha: So Mr. Karpov left your meeting believing that you had reached an understanding.
Sonny: Yeah, um -- I only want to work as a consultant. I'm willing to suggest transportation routes, public officials who may, you know, take a liking to Mr. Karpov. I can introduce him to -- to other parties when we share the same interests. But I will notbe taking an active role. And this is important -- a deal-breaker. Mr. Karpov has to peacefully coexist with my old organization.
Sasha: Mr. Karpov is not a man who takes orders.
Sonny: Well, that may be a problem. _____________________________________
Claudia: I haven't heard from Johnny yet. But I know that he's still trying to put distanca between himself and the police.
Anthony: If they haven't caught up with him already. He could be lying in a ditch somewhere after little Lulu ran off and left him.
Claudia: Don't underestimate John, daddy. He's capable of taking care of himself.
Anthony: You better pray nothing happens to your brother. If it does, I will send you straight to hell. ___________________________________
Nikolas: I'm not going to sit here and moan about my -- my pain and grief, all right? I -- I get it. I understand. Everybody suffers losses.
Nadine: It doesn't make them hurt a less. Nilas: No, it's just -- i don't know. I -- I know I've been very blessed throughout my life. I mean, a few years back, I was in a car accident down by the river. Lost control, flipped the car. There's no way I should have survived that. But I did. Same way Emily survived cancer. I fought so hard for her, prayed so hard. I was so determined for her to -- to try and take some strength from me. And she did. And I'd like to believe that's one of the reasons she pulled through. As crazy as that sounds, I believe that.
Nadine: I don't think that sounds crazy.
Nikolas: But I -- I really started to believe, nadine, that the worst could never happen. It just couldn't happen. That no matter how hopeless things got, in the end, they'd turn around for Emily and me.
Nadine: You and emily shared a connection, the type of connection people would do anything for.
Nikolas: Emily -- but she's dead. That's the point. That someone who's -- who's so kind and so generous and has everything to live for can be taken away from you so senselessly. So could Lulu.
Nadine: You don't know that.
Nikolas: Well, Emily's death also taught me that you could run out of miracles. That the people that are so precious to you, the people that you'd do anything for, even die for -- you're helpless to save them, really. ________________________________________________
Jason: Just tell me the best case scenario.
Diane: I convince a judge that you were an innocent bystander who acted heroically and prevented an overzealous cop from shooting an unarmed hostage.
Jason: Ok, good. That's what happened. That's the truth. I mean, not the hero part, but that's --
Diane: I reserve the right to apply any hyperbole I deem necessary to get you out of this. Unfortunately, you have an extensive police record. You have been tried on murder twice. You were convicted once. That was reversed. You were acquitted once, thanks to my brilliance --
Jason: Yeah, Diane. I know all this. I know.
Diane: Any competent D.A. -- And Alexis Davis is more than competent-- is going to argue that you were in that squad room to help Johnny Zacchara escape. That you furnished him the gun with which he took Lulu hostage.
Jason: Lulu -- Lulu brought the gun in.
Diane: Do you have any proof?
Jason: No, I don't. She's the only one that could have brought it in. The cops aren't going to search her. It's Lucky's sister. She killed Logan. She doesn't want Johnny to pay, and she freaked out.
Diane: Where do you think Lulu got the gun?
Jason: I -- I don't know, Diane. Johnny, maybe? Edward Quartermaine? She's living at that house. He's got a gun collection.
Diane: Good. I can petition the court for a warrant to determine whether or not Edward Quartermaine is actually missing a gun. Now, let's just assume that he is. Then I will argue that Lulu Spencer acted alone, that she brought the gun in to Johnny, at which point the case against you for aiding and abetting completely falls apart.
Jason: No. Don't go for the warrant. No.
Diane: I am not suggesting that we give up Lulu Spencer as the individual who killed Logan Hayes. I am simply saying that the courts will be far more lenient on a hysterical girl as opposed to --
Jason: Ok, did you just -- you just told me that helping Johnny escape makes Lulu accessory, right? So if Johnny kills a cop, she could get murder with special circumstances. Is that right?
Diane: That is -- that is an extreme interpretation.
Jason: Diane, yes or no?
Diane: It's possible, yes.
Jason: Ok. Don't tell the cops anything. Lulu's a hostage. That's it. End of story.
Diane: It's a good thing that you pay me so much money, because you make it extremely difficult to mount a competent defense.
Jason: I owe it to Carly and Spinelli to cover for Lulu, ok? Just find another way to get me released, please.
Diane: That may not be as easy as it sounds. ___________________________________________________________
Maxie: Robin, I am sorry. I don't care how crazy Mac is making you. You -- you can't let Matt Hunter rent out Georgie's room.
Robin: Listen, I'm sorry that you had to find out this way.
Maxie: You -- you could have sent leaflets, or maybe Chris Martin to sing me a telegram, but it's still just not going to happen.
Robin: There's a rental agreement.
Maxie: You don't really have the right to make that kind of agreement.
Spinelli: It does seem a bit strange. And -- I mean no disrespect to the burgeoning one -- but even slightly presumptuous to have rented out wise Georgie's room without warning.
Robin: All of Georgie's stuff has been put into storage, and the room has been repainted and redecorated.
Maxie: Yeah, because Mac was convinced that you were going to move back here once that baby's born.
Robin: But I am fine in my own apartment. My baby and myself will be very happy. I was just trying to stop Mac from hounding me and end the discussion.
Maxie: So because you don't want to deal with Mac, that gives you the right to rent out my sister's room to a total stranger?
Robin: Come on. No one wanted that room to be a shrine to Georgie, even you.
Spinelli: That's actually true. I've heard you say as much.
Robin: There are always people on the hospital staff looking for affordable housing. People that spend their days saving lives. So I put up a bulletin in the locker room, and I don't know. I just thought that Georgie would have liked her room to be used for such a purpose.
Spinelli: That is indeed the spirit of who wise Georgie was.
Maxie: Well, wise Georgie's not around anymore. Just her sister, the selfish bitch. And that egotistical jerk cannot stay in her room.
Matt: Well, that egotistical jerk has put down a deposit and has a key.
Maxie: Unfortunately, Robin legally can't make that --
Matt: Commissioner Scorpio signed a lease and he owns the house, so unfortunately, you have no say in the matter. I live here. Get used to it. __________________________________________________
Nikolas: Just the waiting and the not knowing is killing me right now. Nadine: Some people are more comfortable taking action.
Nikolas: People like you?
Nadine: And you.
Nikolas: My instinct is to hire an army of P.I.'S to track Lulu down and get her out of this. But Lucky thinks it'll put her in even more danger. You have an opinion on that? I'm sure you do.
Nadine: I know you want to fix this for your sister, like any big brother would. But I think you should listen to Lucky on this one. It might just make things worse.
Nikolas: Worse? How can they get any worse? My -- my little sister's on the run with her boyfriend, who happens to be accused of murder and is armed, and is it safe to say, dangerous?
Nadine: But not to Lulu. You don't actually think he's hurt her.
Nikolas: No, no. I mean, I said -- I said I don't think he would hurt her deliberately, but bullets don't discriminate. They don't care if you're an innocent bystander. I mean, again, think of Michael Corinthos. Lulu, she's just -- she did this on impulse, I know it. She just went charging into this mess because she's got her mother's heart and her father's recklessness. See? See, she's one of those people. She's one of those people who -- who believes that in the end, everything is going to be all right. Love conquers all. And nobody ever dies. But they do die.
[Clearing of throat]
[Knock on door]
Sam: Bad time? _________________________________________
Lucky: Elizabeth, has -- has Lulu made contact with you?
Elizabeth: No, why? What's the matter?
Lucky: She came down to the station to see Johnny. Before I -- before I knew it, he had a gun to her head and was using her to escape.
Elizabeth: Oh, my god. He took her hostage?
Lucky: Johnny is a murder suspect, and the force is going to be going after him guns a-blazing. The only thing I can think about is her safety.
Elizabeth: I can't believe he took her hostage. She was so sure of him.
Lucky: Nikolas thinks that Lulu was in on the escape. That she and Johnny are working together.
Elizabeth: Ah, yeah. I can believe that. She would do anything to help him.
Lucky: Ok. If that is true, she may make contact, but I -- I doubt she'd be willing to risk calling her brother the cop.
Elizabeth: So you think she's going to call me?
Lucky: She trusts you. She may think because of what happened with you and Jason that you'd be more willing to understand her situation and able to help her.
Elizabeth: I just got out of surgery. Let me see if she's tried to call. I have three messages.
Lucky: Please let that be Lulu. __________________________________________________
Sal: Where do you think you're going?
Lulu: Joe.
[Johnny sighs]
[Playing melody]
Sal: I know that song.
Johnny: It's a song by Billy Joel. It's called "Nocturne." I didn't learn it with the professor, but I learned it because of him. He taught me how to appreciate music.
Lulu: Can't you see he's telling the truth? ________________________________________
Sonny: What I can do is I can arrange meetings with congressmen, but I'd advise Mr. Karpov to do that in -- you know, not to do that in person. If he does, make sure there's a lot of security around.
Sasha: Yes. I'll be sure to convey that to him. You know, I have to wonder, though. Why is a man with your connections, with your strength, available to act as a facilitator when it's so obvious that you should be in charge?
Diane: Well. Well, this is an unexpected pleasure. Hi. I'm Mr. Corinthos' attorney, Diane Miller.
Sasha: Sasha Donev.
Diane: Donev. That name sounds familiar. Have we met?
Sasha: I don't believe so.
Diane: I pride myself on knowing everyone that Mr. Corinthos works with.
Sasha: Well, we don't work together.
Diane: Oh, really?
Sasha: Not yet.
Diane: So how did you two meet? ___________________________________
Anthony: You wanted this to happen. That's why you were so sloppy getting rid of Logan's body. You want Johnny out of the way.
Claudia: If you actually believe that, then you have lost your mind. I would never hurt John. He's the one person in the world that I actually love.
Anthony: You don't think I see what's going on? You don't think I know why you didn't come to me for help with this mess?
Claudia: I didn't come to you, daddy, because you're a poor excuse for a father and Johnny hates your guts.
Anthony: And that's your fault. You poisoned my son against me, you lying slut.
Anthony: Instead of the son I wanted from my first wife, I got you, a poisonous tramp. I should have drowned you the day your brother was born. I should have known you'd try to destroy him.
Sonny: You know what? You might want to lower your voices. People are trying to eat here.
Anthony: Hey.
Sonny: You understand this is a restaurant, you know?
Anthony: You don't tell me what to do. You don't tell anyone what to do. You've got no power anymore. No respect.
Sonny: You call this respect? Yelling at a woman? Your own daughter? You think that's respect?
Anthony: This is none of your business.
Sonny: I know you're scared because your little boy is --
Anthony: Scared?
Sonny: You shut your mouth. And you shut it right now, or I'll dump you out of that damn wheelchair and you'll crawl out of here like a cockroach. Need a ride home? _________________________________________________
Sam: Hi. I -- I just -- I've seen reports all over the news that Johnny Zacchara escaped police custody after taking Lulu hostage.
Nikolas: Yeah, well, I think it's fairly safe to say that, unfortunately, Lulu helped him stage the whole thing. I -- I don't think she's in any direct danger from Johnny, but --
Nadine: But she's in the middle of a police manhunt now, and naturally, Nikolas is worried about his sister. So I was just trying to support him.
Sam: I -- I would do the same thing for Lucky, if I could. I mean -- I just -- I know he's probably scared to death for his sister. And my first impulse was to actually go to him, but we did just stage a very public break-up, for a good reason, because infiltrating drug smugglers is not going to be easy if I -- I'm a cop's girlfriend.
Nikolas: Sam, you put yourself in that situation, you're going to end up in more danger than Lulu is.
Sam: Yes, I do know that. But it's all going to be worth it if I can nail whoever is responsible for putting fake drugs into hospitals and clinics like yours, and that's that.
Nadine: Someone would actually hire you to pilot one of the boats that's carrying these drugs?
Sam: Not yet, but I do have some leads. Good ones, actually. I mean, I think this will actually be my way in. But Lucky is my first responsibility. I just -- I want to know if he's ok. _______________________________________________
Lucky: Was it -- was it Lulu?
Elizabeth: No, I'm sorry.
Lucky: It was a long shot.
Elizabeth: Your sister is smart. She knows what it means to be on the run. One of the advantages of being Luke Spencer's daughter, right?
Lucky: Yeah, well, if I thought she was thinking like my dad -- but she's not.
Elizabeth: Why do you say that?
Lucky: Because I was at the station when she showed up to see Johnny. I saw her. I -- I talked to her right before all this happened. And I -- I could tell that something was very wrong. And I just -- I should have done something about it.
Elizabeth: You couldn't have known the two of them were going to break out.
Lucky: She was tense. She was fidgeting. It's almost when she started talking to me, she was lost in her own head. She didn't talk to me. It's almost like I've seen this. I've seen this before. Just reminded me of --
Elizabeth: What?
Lucky: My mom, right before she lost her mind. ______________________________________________
Sal: It's obvious that you are who you say you are. Starting to believe your story.
Lulu: Well, you can't be too careful.
Sal: Sad, but true -- Linda.
Lulu: So, you won't turn us in if we're staying here?
Sal: Well, the apartment's been closed up ever since the professor died, and he never mentioned having any family. Nobody's even come by to claim his stuff. So if he said that you could stay with him, then as far as I'm concerned, you're free to use the place.
Lulu: Oh, thank you.
Johnny: Really appreciate it.
Sal: No problem. You got any work lined up yet?
Johnny: Not yet. I was going to start looking tomorrow.
Sal: Do you teach piano as well as you play it?
Lulu: Sure. Joe used to give lessons all the time back in chicago.
Sal: Great. My sister, Lourdes, she used to take lessons from the professor. He said that she had promise and she loves music, so I want her to keep it up. I'll pay you for it.
Johnny: I'd be happy to teach her, but you don't have to pay me. I owe you.
Sal: Joe, new york is a lot more expensive than Chicago, bro. Trust me, you're going to need the money.
Johnny: All right, then. But I'll find another way to pay you back.
Sal: Good enough. Uh -- I'll have Lourdes come up and say hi to you guys, ok?
Lulu: Thanks again.
Johnny: What are you doing?
Lulu: Getting the hell out of here before he calls the cops.
