Sam: It really must be nice having somebody worry about you.

Lucky: You know, elizabeth has enough to worry about without thinking i'm going to implode.

Sam: Ok. So then we have to get this done and over with so we can get back to our normal lives.

Lucky: I think i want to tell elizabeth that we're faking our breakup.

Sam: No, i would really like if you didn't do that. Lucky, the more people that know, the more risky this becomes.

Lucky: Elizabeth is trustworthy.She can keep a secret.

Sam: Yeah, i know, obviously. I am so sorry for elizabeth's concern, but we're trying to stop counterfeit drug dealers.
This means stepping on a few toes. And it's not like she has a personal stake in this that goes beyond her very, verygenuine concern for you.
But i am here for you to talk to, whenever you need. She's worried for nothing.

Lucky: I understand that. It's just unnecessary for her to stress about it.

Sam: Really? Ok. So if you tell her, she's going to want to help out in the investigation. Are you willing to put her through a risk like that?

Lucky: No more than i want you to.

Sam: Ok. You know what the difference is? I happen to know what i'm doing.

Lucky, i want this over with just as quickly as you do. I have a lead. You have to trust me on this.

Nikolas: Hello.

Nadine: You blew my chance to work matt for information last night.

Nikolas: Oh, God. Would you stop with this, please? You're in over your head. This is crazy.

Nadine: No. You don't know anything about me, except for what you choose to believe. And if you hadn't stuck your nose into my business, i might
actually have a solid lead onto whoever is smuggling these drugs. And elizabeth wouldn't be so worried, and he wouldn't have to lie to her.

Nikolas: What are you -- that has to be the most convoluted reasoning i've ever heard.

Nadine: No. You know what? Fine. I'm going to just prove i'm right, and get some evidence against matt all by myself.

Lourdes: Can we talk before we start the lesson?

Johnny: And what is there to talk about?

Lourdes: Now that i know who you are, i want to get to know you. What is it like, being the son of a famous gangster?

Johnny: Wouldn't you just rather play music? All right. To tell you the truth, i grew up like every other kid. Everybody did a good job keeping me away from the family
business, you know? I'll tell you a secret.

Lourdes: My lips are sealed.

Johnny: I was kind of a spoiled rich kid.

Lourdes: No, i don't believe it.

Johnny: Yeah, it's true. My father was out of town a lot, so there were a lot of lawyers and businessmen making choices in the family name.
I cared about two things. Driving fats cars and, well, finding trouble. But just petty stuff Nothing like my old man. When i think about the hurt that
was caused because of the choices that people made in our family name, how lives were destroyed, and you and your brother, how you hurt so badly,
i -- i feel horrible.

Lourdes: That's why it's good you got away from them.

Johnny: Sometime in the near future, i'd like to pay you back somehow.

Lourdes: No offense, but you're wanted for murder. You're a fugitive, and everyone thinks lulu's your hostage. What kind of future could you
possibly have?

Sonny: If kate knew who karpov really was, she would worry, max.

Max: That you were thinking about getting back into the organization?

Sonny: Did i say i'm getting back into the business?

Max: No.

Sonny: Ok. Then my association with karpovis so he doesn't make a move against jason. Now kate doesn't have to know that.
She's planning a wedding. I want her to be happy. That's plain and simple.

Max: Fine, fine. Whatever you say, boss.

Sonny: Ok.

[Knock at door]

mike: Hey, sonny, max. Is kate back?

Sonny: No, she's at the office. What's up?

Mike: Oh, well --

max: Mike.

Mike: Yeah. She's a very generous girl, your fiancee. I got a package from paris.

Sonny: Let me guess. Cufflinks?

Mike: With an entire tuxedo attached. I mean, it is a beaut.

Sonny: Kate likes you, mike.

Mike: Well, she has excellent taste all around. And i won't have to rent my tuxes from harvey's anymore.

Sonny: Well, then i guess i'm going to have to, you know, do my job and ask you to stand up for me.

Mike: Best man?

Sonny: Unless you hock those cufflinks, 'cause then all bets are off.

Mike: You know it's all good, sonny. After michael, i thought you'd crash and burn, but kate brings a light to you.

Sonny: I love her, mike. She makes me happy.

Mike: And the way you've turned your life around like this, walking away from your organization, looking for something good for yourself.
What can i say, man? I am happy for you.

Elizabeth: Ok, boys, remember this picnic is a surprise for daddy, so let's get it all set up before he gets here, ok? Ok.

Cameron: Jason!

Jason: Hey.

Elizabeth: Hi.

Jason: Hey. It looks like you're having a picnic.

Elizabeth: Yeah. Yeah, we are. Do you want to hold him?

Jason: No, i can't.

Monica: Jason. Well, this just about the prettiest picture i have ever seen.

elizabeth: Actually, we were waiting for lucky. We thought it would be a nice day to have a picnic.

Monica: Oh, are you and lucky --

elizabeth: No. No, i'm just always looking for time that he can spend with the boys.

Monica: Ah. Well, i just didn't want to put my foot in it again. I really have to say that seeing you all here -- it's really
quite a lovely family portrait.

Elizabeth: Thank you.

Jason: I should go. Have fun.

Elizabeth: Bye.

Monica: I -- i wasn't wrong. I saw the way he looked at you.

Elizabeth: Well, it's not going to happen in this lifetime.

Monica: You know, i've -- i have always envied audrey. She has two beautiful great-grandchildren. It was so hard being estranged from michael.
I mean, we held out hope that maybe -- maybe we'd have a chance at seeing him, at least seeing him grow up and learn things.

[Baby coos]

elizabeth: I'm so sorry, monica.

Monica: And i think that's why jason had to leave. I think it was just because of michael.

Elizabeth: Well that's jason's choice, and there's nothing any of us can do but accept it.

Johnny: Lulu and i can't hide out indefinitely. We need to find a way to prove that it was self-defense, and then i can turn myself in.

Lourdes: Doesn't your father have any judge on payroll?

Johnny: Yeah, no one's going to walk away from a murder charge. If i can't prove that i did kill logan in self-defense, then
we're going to have to stay on the run for a long time, maybe leave the country.

Lourdes: I could teach you spanish. Then you could go to mexico.

Johnny: There's a thought.

Lourdes: You know, i always thought about going to mexico. They say it's warm over there, and the ocean is just beautiful.
I think mexico would be a great place to go, even if you weren't wanted for murder.

Sonny: I got to tell you, it hasn't been easy.

Mike: You lost your boy, sonny.

Sonny: Yeah.

Mike: Both your boys. I mean, you did what most men couldn't when you gave them up for their own good. And then you walked away from the one thing that defines you
the most, your position in the organization. Now, either that is the most self-destructive or the bravest thing a guy could do.

Sonny: Honestly --

mike: Yeah.

Sonny: Sometimes i miss it.

Mike: Sonny, power to you is like gambling is to me. I mean, it is a hell of a drug. You can't put it down, and you want it so bad, you can taste
it. Just one more hand of poker, i'd tell myself. One more bet. I have never been able to walk away from my addiction.
I can't even try to control it. And how you did it is beyond me. I mean, unless the love of a good woman is motivation enough?

Sonny: Kate gets me and she's smart.

Mike: And she's successful, and she has other things to think about besides you. Can your ego take it, huh?

Sonny: I got to be honest with you. Sometimes it is not easy. You know? She's ambitious and she goes after what she wants.
And it's fun to watch her do that, and i'm trying to be a legitimate businessman, and she keeps me in check.

Mike: She loves you, michael.

Sonny: I'm a lucky man. I -- i, you know, i got to tell you. I thought at this point in my life i'd be dead. It's nice to get a second
chance. And i'm not saying it's going to be perfect, but i'm up to taking that challenge. And i'm glad you're on my side.

Mike: Me, too.

Maxie: I have had it up to here. I want dirt on dr. Matt hunter, and i want it right now. Spinelli.

Spinelli: Wh -- i -- maximista's needs are, of course, paramount, but the jackal is working on a priority mission --

maxie: This is all robin's fault. I mean, i'm sure she didn't know she was renting out georgie's room to a total egomaniac, but
robin is pregnant and eating for two, clearly thinking for no one. You'd think that because i live in the house she would take my feelings into consideration, but
no. So, now, dr. Hunter lives in georgie's room, and we're just going to have to get him out. Can you believe he actually
accused me of stealing his garage door opener?

Spinelli: Did you?

Maxie: Well, yes, but he doesn't know that for a fact. And he had a lot of nerve just barging into my office and blaming me.

Spinelli: Can his commissionership evict dr. Hunter?

Maxie: No, mac said something about dr. Hunter having rights under the law. Can you believe it? I figure that i'll just have to
blackmail dr. Hunter to get him to leave, which i'll definitely need your help for.

Spinelli: Maximista, you just have to be patient and cool her proverbial heels.

Maxie: Don't be ridiculous, spinelli. We'll just close this window. Hey, who's andrei karpov?

Spinelli: Maximista should not avail herself of the jackal's computer without permission.

Maxie: Why? Is it top secret? Is this karpov guy a russianspy?

Spinelli: [Forced laugh]

maximista has not lost her sense of humor.

Maxie: Seriously, spinelli, is this guy dangerous?

Spinelli: Karpov is one of stone cold's potential competitors.

Maxie: So, he's a gangster.

Spinelli: Look, the jackal has said far, far too much. Please, just let this conversation slip into the mists of time, never to be recalled.

Maxie: Oh, please. You need to tell me all about this karpov guy, and you know why? Because i am your friend, and i am the person that you trust
most -- well, besides jason. But he can't really give you good advice like i do. And i can tell there's something about this karpov guy that
upsets you. And if you tell me what it is, maybe i could help you handle it.

Spinelli: It's not karpov, per se, that the jackal finds most distressing. It's his choice of allies which could potentially jeopardize my
master's safety and security.

Maxie: So, what does karpov have on jason?

Spinelli: He has mr. Corinthos, sir. The godfather mobster has aligned himself with the russian rogue.

Maxie: No, sonny retired. Are you telling me that sonny was only pretending to retire, and that he's been hooking up dealing with this karpov guy
behind jason's back? Wow. That's cold. Oh, my God. What's kate going to do when she finds out sonny didn't really leave the business?
She could cancel the wedding or leave port charles. This could really ruin my life.

Kate: In the background, i want to see flowers, white roses. They'll make the gemstones pop on the page.

Clarice: Oh, you asked for red silk.

Kate: I did?

Clarice: White roses were for the wedding, red silk for the winter jewelry collection. But white roses work for winter, too.

Kate: Clarice, you don't have to humor me, all right? I have a million things on my mind, not the least of which is my fiance waiting at home for me
right now.

Sonny: Not anymore. Hi, clarice.

Clarice: Hi, mr. Corinthos. Nice to see you.

Sonny: How long do you plan on keeping me from the woman that i love?

Kate: We are almost finished. Look at me right here.

Sonny: What do you mean? You've been away, what, two weeks in paris and now this. That's too much for a man to handle.

Kate: That's too much?

Sonny: Yeah, so let's go.

Kate: Really?

Sonny: Well, whatever. Well, well, well.

Kate: You know, i think i have to go. I think i have to go right now. So i think you need to hold all my calls. Just tell them -- i don't know,
i have jet lag, all right? Something like that. Or you could just tell them i'm in love.

Leyla: Dr. Landers said you're ok to scrub in.

Matt: Oh, it's my lucky day. Thank you, nurse mir.

Leyla: Yeah.

[Cell phone rings]

nadine: Hello.

Leyla: You wanted to know when dr. Hunter went into the o.R.

Nadine: What kind?

Leyla: A hip replacement.

It'll be at least four hours.

Nadine: Perfect. Come to the clinic now. I need you.

Cameron: Surprise.

Lucky: First, you know it's not my birthday. Second, you didn't say anything about having a picnic on the phone message.

Elizabeth: Well, we just thought you needed a little family time.I hope you don't mind.

Lucky: No, not at all. But you know you don't have to worry about me.

Elizabeth: I know. I just want you to always remember how much the boys love you. You're their hero.

Lucky: I know, i'm very blessed. There's not a day that goes by that i'm not grateful for having such an amazing family. Thank you.
Thank you for looking out for me. Hi.

Elizabeth: We look out for each other, lucky. We always will.

Spinelli: The jackal was wrong to expose maximista to information of such a sensitive nature.

Maxie: I'm your friend. And if something is weighing on you, you should confide in me because that is what friends do.

Spinelli: But the information the jackal imparted ostensibly places said friend in danger.

Maxie: I'm not scared.

Spinelli: Yeah, i know. Which is why it's up to the jackal to look out for your well-being. Discounting, of course, his only increasingly perilous
situation as long as he remains at stone cold's right hand. And if war looms with the russian rogue, he will undoubtedly count on the
grasshopper's --

maxie: Ok, stop babbling and please stop referring to yourself as a grasshopper because it's disrespectful.

Spinelli: The jackal appreciates your kind concern. And it also brings to the forefront the true heartbreak of the stone cold way.
To protect those you hold in highest esteem, even if it means excising them from your life.

Maxie: What was that about needing to exercise?

Spinelli: See, it's the ones you care about the most that often the most vulnerable. It's clear what the jackal must do.
In order to protect fair maximista, to shield her from harm, the jackal can no longer be in her radiant proximity.

Maxie: I have no idea what you're talking about.

Spinelli: You must stay away from the jackal for your own safety. It's a sacrifice that he willingly, but tragically must make for your own good.

Nadine: Good, you found someone to cover your shift.

Leyla: Now will you tell me why?

Nadine: I need a lookout.

Leyla: Who am i looking out for?

Nadine: You're going to ring the door of the scorpio house. You'll distract anyone who answers.

Leyla: How?

Nadine: I don't know. You'll think of something. Meanwhile, you'll keep them occupied. I'm going to climb upstairs to matt's room, and i'll be
searching around while you're talking to them and distracting them.

Nikolas: Hold on -- hold on. I feel compelled here to point out that breaking and entering into commissioner scorpio's home is a really bad idea.

Johnny: I was getting worried about you.

Lulu: I went to get supplies for the run -- water, toothpaste, you know. The necessities.

Johnny: Lourdes is going to keep her mouth shut. We're safe.

Lulu: Yeah, i hope so.

Johnny: Come on. You know, she offered to give me spanish lessons in case we need to make a run south of the border.

Lulu: You know the only reason she's agreeing to give you spanish lessons is so she can spend more time with you.

Johnny: Jealous, jealous, jealous, jealous.

Lulu: Yeah, ok, yeah. I don't like the idea of her hanging all over my guy.But more importantly, i know what it feels like to have a broken heart.
When lourdes realizes you are not the love of her life, she's going to be shattered. When someone like lourdes is upset, she's going to lash out
on you. She's going to turn on you.

Johnny: Ok, well, by then we will have figured out our next step. Maybe going to mexico isn't such a bad idea.

Lulu: Well, either way, i'm going to get a spanish dictionary in case.

Johnny: Ok, look, now is when you stop worrying. What will be will be. It won't matter because we are here. We are safe right here, right
now, and i love you.

Lulu: You know if we weren't fugitives, this might be just about the best time of my life.

Jerry: Sweet sam. I hope you're not alone. Terrible, nasty things can happen in such a dangerous place as this.

Sonny: Ok, like i said before, right? So max has the night off.

Kate: Oh, i bet he's off with diane. They are so cute.

Sonny: Why does diane think i'll never make you happy?

Kate: Well, she's wrong. It's too late. I'm already happy. Just knowing you love me an knowing we're changing our lives
together.

Diane's a good lawyer, but we could teach her a few thingsabout the human heart.

Sonny: Hey.

Kate: Hmm?

Sonny: I want to get some champagne, ok?

Jason: We have to talk.
