From Megasite: Part 1


Carly: It was worth letting Karpov grope me a little, so I could get my hands on that.

Jason: It was reckless and stupid, even for you.

Carly: I can handle myself, clearly, Jason.

Jason: I'm sure Karpov's girlfriend thought the same thing, right before he threw her off the tenth floor balcony. You could have been hurt, Carly.

Carly: Why can't you just admit that I helped you and say thank you?

image

Sasha: You were supposed to arrange the landing of the shipment, not show up in person and inspect the contents.

Sonny: Really? As Mr. Karpov's attorney, you will understand that the agreement we made is more binding than any contract. I made it clear. No drugs.

Karpov: For the amount of money I'm paying you, Mr. Corinthos, you can learn a little tolerance.

image

Nikolas: I still think Jerry is a suspect.

Sam: We can probably debate this all night.

Lucky: Listen, as much as I love spending time with you, every minute we spend in here together, we're inviting trouble. We need to protect your cover.

Sam: I know, okay? I hate this phony breakup, too.

Nikolas: As soon as we find out who is doing this, the sooner we can get back to our lives.

Lucky: Exactly why I won't follow up on useless leads. We won't make this case on circumstantial evidence.

Sam: Fine. Then let's broaden the search and look for different suspects. Come on. Nadine said that Matt Hunter looks suspicious, no?

Nikolas: Yeah. And where is Nadine?

image

Nadine: You're behind this counterfeit drug scam. Just admit it.

Matt: Okay. Fine. It means giving up a fortune and spending years in a federal prison, but sure. I'm going to go ahead and let you make this citizen's arrest because why? You nagged me into it?

Nadine: I know you know who's behind it.

Matt: I don't know. I'm trying to figure that out, but you're girl detective act is going to ruin any chance that I've got.

Nadine: Wait. You expect me to believe that you're trying to stop the counterfeit drugs?

Matt: I don't care what you believe. Just leave me the hell alone.

Claudia: Hey! Get your damn hands off her.

image

Logan's voice: You never gave a damn about me.

[Lulu screams]

Lulu: No, don't!

Johnny: I guess we should figure out what we're doing for dinner. You okay?

Lulu: Sure.

Johnny: You're lying to me.

Johnny: You're not okay. Sit down. How could you be? You're stuck here hiding out like this, on your birthday.

Lulu: How did you know?

Johnny: Well, you dropped your driver's license a few months ago, and I took a peek.

Lulu: And you remembered?

Johnny: I was actually planning a hell of a surprise for you. I was going to bring you here. I mean, not to this exact apartment, but to Manhattan for dinner. And then afterwards, I was going to take you on a yacht in the harbor. And I had just a little present picked out for you.

Lulu: I guess I ruined those plans.

Johnny: Well, we're here in Manhattan.

Lulu: Running from the police.

Johnny: But we're together, Lulu, and that's all that counts. Hey, it's your birthday.

Lulu: You should be cursing the day that I was born.

Johnny: No.

Lulu: Yes.

Johnny: Because if you were not born, then I don't even know if I'd still be alive. Or worse, I could be turning into my father. Trapped in that life, I would have no idea of what it feels like to be this happy, to love you the way that I do.

Lulu: You wouldn't be running away from a murder that I committed.

Johnny: Lulu, you have given me so much more than I ever thought I was capable of. And if my life were to end today --

Lulu: Don't say that.

[Splash]

Karpov: I'm sorry you tried to examine the shipment. I advise you to learn from this incident and not repeat it.

Sonny: I don't work for you. I don't take orders from you.

Karpov: You've been well paid for your services.

Sonny: To consult! And I did that in good faith. Now you violated our agreement by moving drugs.

Karpov: You're a businessman, Mr. Corinthos.

Sonny: When I decided to work for you, it was on two conditions. No drugs. And no conflict with Jason Morgan. Now you broke one condition. I don't have faith that you won't break another one.

Karpov: Let's discuss this. I am not ready to end our association.

Sonny: Too bad! You already did.

image

Jason: So when you went with Karpov, did you have any kind of plan to get away? Did you know where he was taking you?

Carly: No, I figured that I would improvise, and I did. That's how we got his PDA.

Jason: No, forget "we." Stay out of this.

Carly: You know what? In your life, you have two people you can count on. That was me and Sonny. And now Sonny has left you hanging out to dry.

Jason: I don't know that yet, Carly.

Carly: Really? Because he's now working with your enemies after he dumped the entire organization in your lap.

Jason: Part of the reason I took over the organization was so I could protect you. And I'm not going to be able to protect you if you keep doing stupid things like this.

Carly: Well, I could see that you were up to your neck, okay? And I wanted to do something that could help you to give you an advantage.

Jason: Fine. Talking to you is like talking to a wall. Let's go.

Carly: Jason.

image

Matt: Okay. Just put the gun down. There's not a problem here.

Claudia: Harassing a woman in a dark alley is definitely a problem for the woman.

Matt: Yeah. She's stalking me.

Claudia: Mm-hmm.

Matt: I told her to leave me alone in I don't even know how many ways, but, obviously, nothing is getting through.

Nadine: Keep walking.

Matt: Yeah.

Nadine: What did you have to go and do that for?

Claudia: Oh, a simple thank you would be fine.

Nadine: I was about to get information out of him.

Claudia: About what?

Nadine: Never mind. Thank you for your help, even though I didn't need it.

Claudia: You're coming with me.

image

Nikolas: Nadine is still not answering her phone.

Sam: Well, maybe she just doesn't want to talk to you.

Nikolas: Something tells me she's off trailing Matt Hunter again, even though I told her not to.

Sam: Really?

Nikolas: Yeah.

Sam: Well, maybe that's why she doesn't want to talk to you. Maybe she doesn't want you telling her what her to do.

Nikolas: Sam, she's harassing a member of my staff simply because she believes she overheard him on some suspicious phone call.

Sam: Okay. Well, what's the problem with her following up on it?

Nikolas: Because she's not accomplishing anything by it other than irritating him and embarrassing herself. She broke into the man's bedroom, for God's sake. Climbed through his window.

Sam: That sounds harmless, I suppose.

Nikolas: Right, of course. You wouldn't think that if you thought he was involved in this counterfeit drug ring.

Sam: No, absolutely not. I would be looking somewhere to dig up some more evidence.

Lucky: The way you are with Jerry.

Sam: Come on. Jerry keeps turning up everywhere I am. Down at the pier. At the warehouse when I'm docking a shipment for Karpov. It's not just a coincidence.

Nikolas: I don't believe it is either. I mean, I think this is right up Jerry's alley. There's big money in counterfeit drugs. And he wouldn't think twice if somebody died in the process.

Lucky: There you go again, talking like you're sure he's involved.

Jerry's voice: Hello? Hello? Anybody here?

Nikolas: Oh God, what now?

Nikolas: What could you possibly want?

Jerry: I have some information you might be able to use about some bad medicine that's circulating.

image

Lulu: I'm sorry. I didn't mean to snap at you like that.

Johnny: It's okay. It's your birthday. You get to do what you want.

Lulu: Yeah, I wish.

Johnny: What do you wish? What did you do on your favorite birthday ever?

Lulu: Well, we, I mean, weren't very big on birthdays, at least my dad wasn't. My mom always tried to make them special, and when she got sick, my brothers and my grandma took over.

Johnny: Okay, but I don't want to know what everyone was doing or what their duties were, I want to know what made your birthday special. What birthday memory stands out in your head?

Lulu: Um... hmm. My tenth.

Johnny: And what made it special?

Lulu: I was a princess.

Johnny: I'm sorry.

Lulu: Seriously.

Johnny: Okay.

Lulu: Nikolas threw this huge party, and there was food on china and silver, a string quartet, and Lucky and Elizabeth were there. And Emily was there and she did my hair. And I was wearing this beautiful dress, and I had a beautiful necklace. It was a gift from Nikolas for my birthday. It was gold, handmade. An owl. The symbol of Athena.

Johnny: The warrior goddess.

Lulu: Yeah.

Johnny: A real scrapper. It's fitting.

Lulu: Yeah, it was fun. I had a lot of fun. I didn't realize really until the end of the day that my parents weren't there. Nikolas knew. And he said that my mom and my dad are very proud of me and they love me. And even when they're not around, their love still is.

image

Nikolas: So let's see. You held me hostage. You poisoned me. You blackmailed me. And now you're here. Why?

Jerry: Yes. No need to hear my litany of transgressions. I'm quite aware, thank you.

Nikolas: Good. Then you understand why I don't believe a word that comes out of your mouth. And why I'm looking for a scalpel right now to stab you in the heart.

Jerry: Yes, I understand that you're angry, but I'm making a sincere attempt to turn my life around.

Nikolas: Oh, in other words, you're here to suck up to me.

Jerry: Unashamedly.

Nikolas: So I'll stop telling Alexis that she's insane for getting involved with you.

Jerry: Absolutely. What I have to tell you is very important. Otherwise, I wouldn't be standing in this room, surrounded by surgical instruments. I hear things, and I hear that there's counterfeit heart medications circulating. I mean, you do good work here, and you've suffered major setbacks, so -- heart medication. Dispense with care.

Nikolas: Well, come on then. How do you know this? Huh? Who's behind the counterfeit drugs?

image

Milo: I'll call Max. Just give us the word, and I'll handle this thing.

Sonny: Kate.

Kate: I didn't expect you back so soon.

Sonny: Uh...

Milo: Yeah, I'll just be out here, boss.

Sonny: Hi.

Kate: Hi.

Sonny: Is that what I think it is?

Kate: Yes, it's a bridal bouquet.

Sonny: You decided to elope? Let's do it. Tonight. Because I'm feeling it. I am feeling it.

Kate: Well, there's something very alluring about the idea of elopement.

Sonny: No muss, no fuss.

Kate: Just the two of us. And the love we share.

Sonny: Yeah.

Kate: I don't know. I've grown rather attached to the idea of me walking down the aisle to you, the man of my dreams. The first and only man to capture my heart for all the world to see.

Sonny: And you had that dress specifically designed for the occasion.

Kate: Two dresses.

Sonny: Uh, what do you mean, two dresses?

Kate: A Federico and a Maha Chang. Both originals. One for the wedding, one for the reception.

Sonny: It would be a shame to have those go to waste, right?

Kate: Do you think that I'm shallow and self-absorbed?

Sonny: No, no, no. Listen to me. You want the wedding of your dreams, right? I'm going to give that to you.

Kate: Are you sure?

Sonny: No, I'm positive.

Kate: Okay, good. 'Cause that's why I'm here.

[Sonny laughs]

Kate: You simply must help me decide.

image

Maxie: What would Jason be without you?

Spinelli: A ripped, awe-inspiring specimen of manhood with cobalt blue eyes --

Maxie: A bunch of nice body parts. A blue-eyed, better-looking Frankenstein without the brain. You are Jason's mojo.

Spinelli: I am an information gathering device. A glorified CPU. Central processing unit.

Maxie: Spinelli, what is this?

Spinelli: Okay, there's no need to illustrate your point.

Maxie: What is this?

Spinelli: It is a laptop computer.

Maxie: Wrong. No, it is a doorstop without someone who knows how to use it. A box with a bunch of pretty little wires. I mean. Anyone can go around looking for fights or trying to get shot at. Jason Morgans are a dime a dozen, but you are the one and only original, amazing Damian Spinelli.

Spinelli: The Jackal appreciates Maximista's efforts to stop the shrinkage -- of my ego. But if Maximista had the choice between a cyber-proficient, but physically ineffectual specimen such as myself or a danger dude like Johnny Zacchara or Stone Cold, who would she chose?

Maxie: Duh, you, of course. I mean, the Jasons and Johnnys of this world are hot, yes, and they make you stop thinking rationally for a couple of minutes, but they are not guys you can actually, you know, share stuff with and talk to. You can't really count on them as a friend.

Carly: I've flirted with plenty of dangerous men and survived without you having to pull a gun on them, Jason.

Jason: I have a project for you, okay? You can go now.

Maxie: Forget it. If Carly gets to stay, so can I.

image

Nikolas: Not that I expected the son of a bitch to admit anything.

Sam: No, it's as good as a confession. Jerry is definitely involved. You heard him.

Lucky: No, I hear him warn Nikolas to watch out for phony heart meds.

[Sam sighs]

Nikolas: Exactly. But to me, that means he's connected. He's in on it.

Lucky: Why would Jerry incriminate himself?

Nikolas: Because the guy likes to play mind games. That's what he does.

Sam: He probably thinks I'm playing both sides.

Nikolas: You're right. He might be trying to throw you off by acting like one of the good guys. You know, passing information to me, hoping that it will get back to you.

Sam: Mm-hmm.

Nadine's voice: I didn't ask for your help.

Claudia's voice: Oh, too bad.

Nadine's voice: I didn't need an escort.

Claudia's voice: I don't have a lot of use for you.

Nadine's voice: Then why don't you leave me alone?

Sam: You still don't think he's involved, do you?

Nikolas: What's going on?

Claudia: I just saved her ass.

Nadine: I didn't need saving.

Nikolas: Oh, great. Let me guess. Matt Hunter.

Claudia: Yeah, I don't know who, some guy, and they were in an alley off of Van Ness, and apparently, it's a really good thing I showed up when I did 'cause she must have said something he didn't like at all.

Nadine: I was just trying to get him to talk.
