Kate: When I was in Paris, I would crawl into bed every night, and no matter how exhausted I was, I could never seem to catch my breath. I realized that I missed you so much that I physically ached.
Sonny: Well, that's a good thing, ain't it?
Kate: I love being in love with you, but it scares me. I don't generally need people, and at this stage in my life, i certainly don't need a man. And there I was, realizing that if we didn't make it, that emptiness would be permanent.
Sonny: Listen to me. We're going to make it.
Kate: Well, we better, because if we don't, in the vernacular of the old neighborhood, I'm going to break both your kneecaps, and then I'm going to kill you. Could I be any clearer, darling?
Sonny: I hear you.
Kate: I know I'm crazy.
Sonny: No, you're not crazy.
Kate: And I know my schedule is all over the place.
Sonny: Just a little bit.
Kate: So see? Don't you think a night together would be heavenly?
Sonny: Well, it'd be like paradise, but I -- I can't. I can't tonight.
Kate: Well, the coffee bean is just crying out for you, hmm? Or is there something else I should know about?
Spinelli: Mr. Sir's new business associate has a somewhat checkered past. To wit, not one but at least two female objects of his affection are now deceased.
Jason: Give me the details.
Spinelli: Well, the most recent one -- Oksana Valeria. Evidently, she and karpov were engaged in a session of carnal pleasures on the balcony of a 10th-floor hotel. The sexual acrobatics, combined with copious amounts of alcohol, allegedly led to her losing her balance and plunging to her death over the railing. Or she was pushed.
Karpov: It's a beautiful night.
Carly: It's warm enough.
Karpov: I can picture you in a car, top down, the wind rushing through your hair. City lights glisten like stars.
Carly: Does that line work with all the girls?
Karpov: You're no little girl, and I'm certainly not a schoolboy. My car is down there. It's a convertible. I'd very much like to see you in it.
Carly: I was always taught not to take a ride with strangers.
Karpov: My dear, I'm a guest in your hotel. I have to give you more information than the FBI requires.
Carly: Does that mean the fbi has information on you, me. Karpov?
Karpov: Andrei. And who can tell what the FBI has? Besides, it's just a simple ride in a car.
Carly: Andrei, I'm flattered, I really am. But we don't know each other very well, and you have a dangerous reputation.
Karpov: Why would you think you have anything to fear from me?
[Classical piano music]
Lulu: You're dead, Logan! This is my mind playing tricks on me.
Lulu: I'm sorry.
[Dissonant piano chords]
Johnny: Lulu, what's wrong? Hey, hey, you are freezing. Lulu, talk to me. What happened? Did someone find out we're here?
Lulu: You left me.
Johnny: Yeah, I went to get milk. I'm sorry.
Lulu: I saw Logan.
Johnny: You had a bad dream.
Lulu: I was awake. I heard him playing piano. I thought it was you. I opened my eyes, and it was him, and -- and he was sitting right there, and there was a knife, and it seemed like he was all bloody, and he was banging on the keys!
Johnny: Lulu, it was a nightmare, and when you woke up, you couldn't shake it.
Lulu: Nightmares and dreams go away. I stood here knowing full well that he was dead, and I thought if I reach out and touched him he would disappear, but it was so grotesque.
Johnny: Ok, but he disappeared, right?
Lulu: He turned to me and smiled.
Kate: Just forget I said that, ok? I value your independence just as much as my own, and I'm not the clingy, jealous type. It's just -- I've been away, and I come home to Claudia Zacchara in your living room, and it pushed a button.
Sonny: But you don't have to worry about claudia or anyone else. You're the woman that I love.
Kate: Well, a man can be deeply in love and still be tempted by a lot of things. Look, a one-night stand means something when the person involved never seems to go away.
Sonny: Claudia is nothing. What I got to do tonight is strictly business.
Kate: Mm-hmm, it just feels unpleasantly familiar.
Sonny: Well, I mean, you know, walking away from the organization, it means I have to pay a lot more attention to my legitimate interests, and i have no intention of making a living off my famous wife.
Kate: Ok, ok, ok.
Sonny: Ok, that's all I'm saying.
Kate: I'm sorry. I know what it's like to be guilted into neglecting your work. Ok, so you just go and do your thing, and I'll be with the wedding at home, alone.
Sonny: I won't be late.
Kate: Ok. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Speaking of, can I just ask you a couple things? It's important that you get what you want, too.
Sonny: What I want is whatever makes you happy, ok?
Kate: Oh, ok, well, I guess you've already had that.
Karpov: You sent me a very expensive bottle of vodka. I'd like a chance to return your hospitality.
Carly: Because I used to be married to Sonny Corinthos.
Karpov: Because you're a charming and attractive woman.
Carly: One of many in this hotel. And this entire town, in fact.
Karpov: You are not one of anything. You're unique.
Carly: And you're smooth.
Karpov: Truly, I know about unique. I was raised in odessa in southern ukraine. Mother russia made sure that everyone had a place to live. Row after row, block after block, all these big, ugly, gray apartment buildings -- how you call it here? The -- the projects. Well, that wasn't for me, so i worked hard, built an empire on instinct, and now my instincts tell me you have a great strength and no fear. I admire that.
Carly: After marriage with sonny corinthos, I learned not to be skittish around gangsters.
Karpov: And you assume I'm a gangster.
Carly: I assume a man as impressive and as powerful as you doesn't sell penny candy.
Karpov: I'd be happy to tell you all about myself, business and personal, but not here.
Marty: Mrs. Jacks, may I speak with you privately about some hotel business?
Carly: The hotel business can wait. Mr. Karpov and I are going to take a ride.
Spinelli: Well, there's another woman -- well, there was another woman. Olga chesnekov. She, too, met with an untimely, violent death after an association with the russian rogue of the underworld.
Jason: So he's never been arrested?
Spinelli: There's no evidence.
Jason: He's got money. He paid people off, Spinelli.
Spinelli: It -- it is obvious that comrade karpov has no respect for women, and that's a character trait which Mr. Sir would certainly not approve. So perhaps if the not-so-retired one was enlightened, maybe he could -- maybe he would avoid this disastrous alliance. Jason: Ok, well, I want to know what product karpov is shipping, ok? I want to know who he's working with in the states. I want to know how he pays his people. I need to shut this guy down before he gets a foothold in Port Charles.
Spinelli: Forgive the jackal's contradiction, but if -- if step one is to find out what's in the shipments, then perhaps the cyberworld is not the place where we need to be. A harsher, more informative reality is called for.
Jason: What are you -- what are you talking about?
Spinelli: Well, we need to leave the safe confines of our inner sanctum and converge on the lair of the russian rogue himself. In other words, the grasshopper and the master must conduct a stakeout.
Jerry: First the warehouse, now the pier. It seems that we're running into each other in the most unlikely of places.
Sam: Does it really? I work here. You just seem to be looking for trouble.
Jerry: How does your boyfriend the cop feel about your return to the high seas?
Sam: Lucky and I broke up. What he thinks is completely irrelevant, and you still haven't said what you're doing here.
Jerry: Well, you know what they say about idle hands. I'm looking into some very promising business opportunities, not that your mother is not a delightful distraction.
Sam: You don't fool me. You're using my mother.
Jerry: Well, Alexis either doesn't agree, or she doesn't mind.
Sam: That is a weak denial.
Jerry: Well, you're hardly objective. You see, jealousy does that to people.
Sam: Excuse me?
Jerry: You see, the reason for such hostility is that i stopped pursuing you and turned my attention to alexia.
Sam: I don't know. It could have something to do with you holding me and 15 other people hostage.
Jerry: You see, that is the main difference between you and your mother. She actually believes in redemption. However, it's quite apparent that you two have the same genetic connection in your mutual attraction to, let's say, the darker side of men, which makes for very interesting possibilities.
Sam: What possibilities?
Jerry: That I actually may turn my attention back to you. matt: Yeah, I'll meet you in the alley off van ness. I'll see you there in a half an hour.
Nikolas: Hi, Nadine. Did you lose something?
Nadine: Um, yeah, I just -- I dropped my pen, but now I found it, so I'm just going to -- hi. Hi, you're a patient of Dr. Hunter's?
Patient: That's right. Nadine: Did he prescribe antibiotics?
Patent: Amoxicillin.
Nadine: Oh, ok, I'm just going to check it out. New policy, if you don't mind.
Matt: Yes, and there we go, Ms. Corey. That is the medicine i prescribed. Now you go home. Make sure you follow the instructions that I gave you, and then next week you can come see me for a follow-up.
Ms. Corey: Thanks.
Matt: Yes. What the hell do you think you're doing?
Nadine: There's a pulled hamstring in exam room two, so --
Matt: I know you think I'm passing off counterfeit drugs, or maybe you're just trying to frame me for this ridiculous theory that you have.
Nikolas: What's -- what's going on here?
Matt: Just considering getting a restraining order against your favorite nurse.
Sam: You are a very sick man. What do you think my mother would say if I told her you tried to proposition me?
Jerry: I just made a simple observation. I mean, anything else is just wishful thinking on your part.
Sam: What? You are a pig.
Jerry: Yes, and one who likes your mother very much.
Sam: Why? Because she's the D.A.? Isn't that handy? Someone you can use to protect your back.
Jerry: Oh, is that what you think? I actually think I hold your mother in higher regard than you do. Alexis knows that I protected her when Anthony Zacchara threatened Christina's life. I think a little gratitude would be in order.
Sam: Gratitude? How do I do that? Because the image of you as Mr. Craig and your masked men and your automatic weapons shooting up the metro court is all just a little too fresh. You have not changed.
Jerry: Well, Alexis would disagree. She actually is very fond of me.
Sam: Well, she's wrong.
Jerry: Yes, I also remember the Metro Court. I remember that you and I are far more alike than not, sweet sam.
Sam: Oh, come on. That's bull.
Jerry: No, we're survivors, and capable of the occasional kindness when it doesn't cost us much, but far more invested in what we can get for ourselves in the moment. But I see in your eyes a reflection of my own. Now we struggle to do what's right, to walk into the light, but one short step, one little trip-up, and we're back on the dark side, because we both know that it's so much more exciting, don't we?
Kate: So, these are the champagne flutes I was talking about.
Sonny: That's fine. Whatever -- whatever you like, that's great.
Kate: Can you pretend, please, for me?
Sonny: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Are those diamonds?
Kate: They are. They're hand blown into every flute.
Sonny: Well, here's what i think. I think that -- that the bride should be the only one who gets a rock on her wedding day.
Kate: Oh, really?
Sonny: Yeah.
Kate: Do you? I had no idea you were such a traditional.
Sonny: Mary Catherine and Nicholas Constantino.
Kate: And what made you think of them?
Sonny: They had the biggest, splashiest wedding in the history of Bensonhurst.
Kate: Yeah, well, see, I wouldn't know. No one in my family was invited. Something about a butcher bill. But I heard about it.
Sonny: Well, I --
Kate: Everyone did.
Sonny: I went with the cerullos, right, and guess who my date was? Lois' sister, Frannie.
Kate: Oh, was she, really?
Kate: It must have been special if you still remember it.
Sonny: Well, no, actually, it -- it gave me nightmares because Mary's dress looked like a bunch of pillows put together and exploded, and then they sewed it back together, and then, you know, Frannie and Lois is like, "oh, that's the greatest dress in the world."
Kate: Oh, I'm sure they would.
Sonny: But -- but the best part was -- you know those -- those glasses -- champagne glasses they put in those fountains and stuff? And the bride and groom, they walk right through, barefoot?
Kate: I like it. It's very old school.
Sonny: Yeah, it was the happiest day of their life. That's what you want, isn't it? Big splashy wedding everybody remembers.
Kate: Wow, if it was that over-the-top, I'd be horrified. Yeah. Yes, what I want people to remember is the hope and the love and the promise. I mean, I -- I try to picture myself on my wedding day walking down the aisle, you know, like I did when I was a little girl, like all little girls do, I suppose, but now it's real, and you are standing there at the end, waiting for me. And honestly, sonny, I get -- I get these feelings inside. I'm all scared and excited at the same time. It's like butterflies.
Sonny: You want champagne glasses with diamonds in them, buy 300. We'll give them away as party favors. We'll walk through that fountain barefoot and as happy as Mary and Nicky were -- we'll be 10 times happier.
Jason: Stakeout's a waste of time.
Spinelli: Yeah, but we -- we could hide under cover of darkness, bring snacks.
Jason: You know what? Quit it with the snacks, ok? I'm going to send somebody else to stake out the warehouse he's using, all right?
Spinelli: You know, Jackal, P.I. Is quite capable of field surveillance work. In fact, he relishes it.
Jason: Well, the Jackal, P.I. Needs to be right here, because this is what you do. You're better than anybody.
Spinelli: Yeah, but that is what you trust me to do. I know -- I know that you doubt my physical prowess, but I have learned at the feet of the master, and I just wish to spring into action and --
Jason: I don't want to risk you getting hurt.
Spinelli: I wish to risk myself. I -- I know you have reasons to doubt me, but I can redeem myself.
Jason: Yeah, you know what? You can't walk in here any time you feel like walking in here, Maxie.
Maxie: If I didn't, who would stick up for Spinelli? I hope you're not coming down on him for telling me about that Karpov stuff. I'm going to keep your stupid mob secrets for Spinelli.
Spinelli: No, don't --
Maxie: Don't worry, Spinelli. If I could keep my mouth shut about lulu being a murderer, I could keep quiet about pretty much anything.
Lulu: So, did you say you got milk, because I thought we already had some.
Johnny: Don't worry about it. How you feeling?
Lulu: Honestly, it was horrible.
Johnny: I'm sorry I left you.
Lulu: You must be wondering what you got yourself into.
Johnny: Well, whatever we're into, it's as much my doing as it was yours.
Lulu: Maybe you should have me committed and get out while you can.
Johnny: You were traumatized, Lulu. That's a far cry from crazy. These things that you're seeing -- these things that you think you're seeing? It's just a reaction.
Lulu: I know that they're not real. I -- I don't believe in ghosts, but I know I wasn't dreaming. I heard music. I got up and walked over to him.
Johnny: Your mind's messing with you.
Lulu: Well, somehow that doesn't reassure me, because my mom had hallucinations, which means I could be on my way to going as nuts as she is now.
Johnny: Look at me. Do you want to go crazy? Then stop saying it, because all you're doing right now is talking yourself into it.
Johnny: I actually know how you feel. You don't think I've looked at my old man and wondered? Every time I do something crazy or get a wild idea, I think, hell, is this how he started? Am I just two bad choices away from going off the rails? But then I tell myself that i am not him, and you are not your mother. You are perfectly sane.
Lulu: Except I keep seeing a dead guy who's not really there.
Johnny: Lulu, a crazy person kills someone, he feels no remorse. That's not you, ok? Quit doing this to yourself.
[Knock on door]
Sal's voice: Joe, I got to talk to you, man. Open up.
Johnny: Hey, what's up?
Sal: Listen, thanks for covering with the cops for me, man. I know you're wondering what --
Johnny: You don't owe me an explanation.
Sal: All right. Listen, the cops are all over the shooting thing right now, so I really need to ask you and Linda for a favor, if you wouldn't mind taking care of Lourdes for me while I lay low for a while, if that's all right.
Spinelli: Now is not the best time to challenge stone cold.
Maxie: Please, like Jason's ever in a good mood.
Jason: He needs to keep his mouth shut. He's putting you at risk.
Maxie: Hey, I can keep a secret, ok, considering all the stuff I've covered up. I mean, you can call me an expert.
Spinelli: The jackal does not mind danger. In fact, he relishes the opportunity to dive right in and --
Jason: You need to stop jumping on the chair. You're going to hurt yourself.
Marty: I'm sorry to bother you, Mr. Morgan, but Mr. Jacks is out of town, and I thought this was important.
Jason: What, did something happen to Carly?
Marty: She left the hotel with a guest, said she was going for a drive.
Jason: What guest?
Marty: Andrei Karpov.
Milo: Ok, got it. Max is in position. He says Karpov's shipment will be off-loading soon.
Sonny: Any word on what they're bringing in?
Milo: Max hasn't gotten access yet.
Sonny: Karpov gave me his word he's not going to be pushing drugs into Port Charles. I just don't believe him.
Sasha: Mr. Corinthos. I didn't expect to see you here.
Sonny: No, I'm just making sure everything goes smoothly.
Sasha: Oh, well, Mr. Karpov will be very grateful for your good work.
Sonny: I'm surprised. Why wouldn't Mr. Karpov be here, you know, to see a shipment land?
Sasha: Well, he planned to be, but he just called and said something important came up, so he might not make it.
Sonny: Right.
Carly: This place yours?
Karpov: Indeed.
Carly: This is where you wanted me to come with you so we could have a nice chat?
Karpov: Yeah, I just wanted your opinion.
Carly: Ok, it's -- it's nice, I guess, as far as warehouses go. What makes this one so special?
Karpov: That all depends on you.
Carly: Ok, you first. Why'd you bring me here?
