Spinelli: The jackal appreciates maximista's lightning-quick reflexes, and her ability to improvise under dire circumstances is most admirable.
Maxie: Why, thank you, spinelli.
Spinelli: However, the jackal has completed a full-length investigative course, and i passed with flying colors. I'm jackal, P.I., A worthy adversary to the forces of doom.
Maxie: And I have total faith in you. However --
Spinelli: No, no, stop. I -- I am emphatically capable of taking care of myself and for that matter, maximista, if she were to find herself in danger from the evil forces of the night or day.
Maxie: No.
Spinelli: No what?
Maxie: No, you're my very best friend in the whole wide world, and I'm too selfish to just sit around and wait.
Spinelli: Yeah, but see, I will save you, and --
Maxie: We're talking about you, spinelli. If you're in trouble, of course I'm going to jump in and help you every single time, because i don't want anything to happen to you.
Spinelli: But see, when maximista follows the jackal into harm's way, she automatically puts herself in danger, and I can't --
Jason: You're a mom.
Carly: I didn't bring morgan with me.
Jason: Stay out of it. It's a business.
Carly: No, you know I'm not going to stay out. I don't care how mad you get at me. You needed me, and I'm not going to desert you.
Maxie: Yeah, what she said.
Leyla: Didn't expect you back so soon.
Nadine: Didn't expect the slap I got from nikolas -- not literally. Ow!
Leyla: What are you doing?
Nadine: I am totally over nikolas. On the very, very off chance that I should backslide, I want to remember the sting of rejection.
Leyla: Ok, I'm a little more linear than you, so humor me, and start at the beginning.
Nadine: I kissed nikolas.
Leyla: Congratulations.
Nadine: For the first and last time.
Leyla: Oh, bad kiss.
Nadine: It was fantastic. It was -- heart was beating so loud, I thought I'd go deaf. I was in heaven.
Leyla: Poor you.
Nadine: And then I came crashing back down to earth with a thud. He likes me as a friend, loves emily forever, yada yada yada.
Leyla: Ah, he cares about you but not in that way. I'm sorry.
Nadine: Then I stormed off, thought better of it, came back, and he was already holding hands with some other girl, about to kiss her, so clearly, he was ready to get over emily. He just won't be getting over emily with me.
Leyla: Ok, let me get this straight. You kissed nikolas, and then a moment later, you see him getting all romantic with some anonymous woman.
Nadine: Well, I won't mention any names. I just know what I saw.
Leyla: Maybe she was a friend.
Nadine: No, they were intimate, touchy-feely. He was very comfortable with her, whereas I made him about as uncomfortable as a one-legged puppy in a three-legged race.
Leyla: Does your aunt rayleen write these colorful phrases down?
Nadine: Why, oh, why did I kiss him? I mean, what on earth came over me?
Leyla: Actually, it's been building up for months and months. I personally think you showed considerable restraint. I would have jumped him a few weeks ago.
Nadine: No, you wouldn't have. You are way cooler than me. You would have known you would completely embarrass yourself.
Leyla: Right, like I did with patrick.
Nadine: Well, I guess we both learned our lesson. End of story.
Leyla: No, I don't think it is the end for you.
Nadine: Right. You feel sorry for me, the lowly nurse with a crush on the lord of the manor.
Leyla: Nadine, you are not a lowly nurse. You're a brilliant, beautiful career woman with a lot to offer.
Nadine: Except the ability to tell the difference between a shrimp fork and salad fork.
Leyla: Nikolas doesn't care about things like that. If he did, you wouldn't care about him, right?
Nadine: Right. You're good at this. I should be paying you 100 bucks an hour.
Leyla: Save your money. No, look, you kissed nikolas because your instincts told you that he cares about you.
Nadine: I really did think the only thing holding him back was his love for emily, but if he's interested in another woman, then --
Leyla: It's good news.
Nadine: How?
Leyla: It means he's available. He's ready to move on, so why don't you get him before some other woman does?
Nikolas: Is nadine there, by any chance? No, no -- no message. Thanks.
[Knock on dodoor]
Claudia: I just -- I just heard from john.
Nikolas: Where are they?
Claudia: He didn't say. I only talked to him for a minute.
Nikolas: How's lulu? Did he say?
Claudia: Johnny wanted me to come over here and talk to you because I guess lulu's having some sort of a breakdown.
Nikolas: What do you -- what do you mean? What happened?
Claudia: I don't know. He didn't give me specifics, but he wanted me to ask you about your mother's illness and whether or not -- you know, what kind of symptoms she had.
Nikolas: What kind of symptoms?
Claudia: Has lulu ever hallucinated before?
Nikolas: What do you mean? Like, is she seeing things?
Claudia: Well, I don't know why else johnny would ask me to ask you that.
Nikolas: Well, did he use that exact word, "hallucinating"?
Claudia: No, he -- he hung up too quickly, but I got the feeling that he didn't want lulu to overhear him.
Nikolas: Damn it. I'm not going to lose my sister like this.
Johnny: Just try to relax.
Lulu: I haven't seen logan again, but I know I will.
Johnny: Ok, but it's not real. It's just your imagination.
Lulu: But I can't control it. Logan said I would never get over him, and I never will. I can't get him out of my head.
Johnny: Ok, breathe, lulu. Just breathe. Forget about logan. Forget about everything else. Just be here with me in this moment. Hey, you're safe.
Lulu: You've been so wonderful to me. But you can't help me. I'm alone.
Johnny: No, you're not. You got me.
Lulu: Just please don't leave me --
Johnny: I won'T.
Lulu: Before I leave you, because I'll just slip into my mind, and I won't be able to find a way out.
Johnny: No, you won'T. You're not going anywhere, because I won't let you go.
Kate: You have to promise me that you're going to be 100% honest.
Sonny: Yeah, ok.
Kate: Now, I know that you've been under a lot of stress.
Sonny: Come on --
Kate: Ah, you try to hide it, but I can see the signs. I know you too well, so before i go on and on about caterers and cocktail napkins, are you sure that you're absolutely comfortable with the size of the wedding I'm planning?
Sonny: It's the wedding of your dreams. I -- I want you to have it.
Kate: You know, you keep saying that.
Sonny: Yeah, but I mean it. The only thing that really matters to me is when they put that ring on your finger and they pronounce us husband and wife.
Kate: Well, that's good, because I have some sample menus on the terrace. I didn't want you to feel pressured.
Sonny: No, no, no, no, no. Don't do that.
[Kate laughs]
Kate: I'll be right back.
Diane: All right --
[Clears throat] I am not here as your attorney.
Sonny: Yeah.
Diane: I am here speaking to you as a woman who is deeply concerned about a man that she holds in very high esteem. Max is supremely loyal to you, and you are taking advantage of that loyalty by putting max at risk.
Kate: Why is max at risk?
Diane: Let me -- let me clarify. My -- my relationship with max is at risk, because sonny is working the poor man to the bone, which means max's personal life is nonexistent, just as sonny fully intended, I'm sure.
Sonny: Max came back to work for me as my bodyguard.
Diane: Yes, but max is loyal to a fault.
Sonny: Right.
Diane: And since you have never approved of max's romance with me, you are now manipulating the situation so that max is always too busy to see me, and that i find unconscionable.
Kate: Diane has a point.
Sonny: Max's personal life is not my problem.
Kate: Look, I am personally grateful that max came back to work for sonny, right? He provides excellent security, so maybe -- maybe we can find some middle ground. I mean, after all, you and i are very fortunate to have each other. Who are we to deny max and diane wanting to be together, ri?T?
Sonny: I don't want to upset kate, so max -- I'll cut back his hours.
Diane: Thank you.
Sonny: You're welcome.
Diane: And I will make certain that max knows yours was the voice of reason. You still don't deserve her.
Sonny: Why do I put up with her?
[Kate chuckles]
Kate: Because she's an excellent lawyer. I feel much better knowing she's at your side in case anything from your organized crime comes back to haunt you.
Jerry: Karpov?
Karpov: My men have warned me shots were fired on the pier.
Jerry: Yes, I was presented with the opportunity to ambush jason morgan.
Karpov: And?
Jerry: And sadly, he's a very difficult man to eliminate. I think I'm losing my touch.
Karpov: I'm staying in port charles, and I can't afford a mob war, which means that jason morgan has to be dealt with.
Spinelli: After depositing the pda that the valkyrie stole to a place where karpov might have believed he lost it, the jackal was uncharacteristically taken by surprise by the slavic seductress and two hulking guards of eastern european descent.
Maxie: I got us out of it.
Jason: How?
Maxie: Just be glad that I did, ok? But now that spinelli's cover has been made, he's going to be way more careful, right?
Spinelli: Yes, I will be on sharp laser-like alert for both myself and maximista.
Carly: We all need to be careful. Karpov made an attempt on jason's life tonight. We have to figure out a way to back him off.
Maxie: I agree.
Jason: Wait, hold on. There is no "we" here, ok? The two of you are not involved in this, and carly, if you go near karpov again, I'm going to personally drag you down to sonny's island and put you under guard. Now, I'm asking nicely. Please leave.
Carly: Since you ask so nicely.
Jason: Maxie, you, too, please.
Maxie: Ok, ok, but only after you promise to watch out for spinelli. I don't think they bought my story about us having crazy sex in the warehouse. I'm sorry, spinelli. I know that subject embarrasses you, but jason needs to know all the details if he's going to keep you safe.
Jason: Ok, spinelli's going to be fine.
Maxie: Ok, well, I'll see you tomorrow.
Spinelli: Most assuredly.
Spinelli: So now the master has witnessed his grasshopper's most dire dilemma.
Jason: Ok, just --
Spinelli: God, I just lament the fact that she sees me as someone that needs to be protected. You know what? It's -- it's time.
Jason: For what?
Spinelli: To prove to her and to stone cold that the jackal has manned up.
Johnny: How you feeling?
Lulu: Better. It helps when you hold me.
Johnny: I'll wait until you fall asleep.
Lulu: I don't want to sleep.
Johnny: You should get some rest, lulu. It'll be good for you.
Lulu: I'd rather talk. I don't want to waste whatever time I have left.
Johnny: You're not going crazy. You're not going to end up in a chair, staring at a wall.
Lulu: You don't know that.
Johnny: Lulu, you suffered trauma. It happens all the time with soldiers in combat. You just need to accept that you're in shock, ok? Be good to yourself.
Lulu: You make that sound so simple.
Johnny: Well, you're going to be ok. We're in this together.
Lulu: Could you do something for me?
Johnny: Yeah.
Lulu: Could you just tell me that you love me?
Johnny: I love you, and i always will.
Kate: Do you ever wonder what it would have been like if we had run away?
Sonny: Well, we wouldn't have the kind of wedding reception where you can choose what menu you want.
Kate: True. I know that I hurt you when i didn't show up all those years ago, but I have to believe things worked out the way they're supposed to.
Sonny: Does this mean you don't want to elope?
Kate: How did we transition to that subject so quickly?
Sonny: Well, it's just that, you know, I want to get this show on the road, and I'm not going to let you go this time.
Kate: I'm going to be all yours september 26. That's less than a month away.
Sonny: And it seems like a long time, seems like a year or something.
Sonny: Listen, you know what? I cannot wait to marry you in front of the entire world, which you probably invited anyway, so --
Kate: If you are doing this just for me, you have to tell me.
Sonny: No, no, I'm doing this for -- what do you mean, just for you? This is for us. I got nothing to hide. I cannot wait... for the whole world to see how happy we are.
Marty: I got to go, mom.
Carly: I gave you strict instructions to tell no one that I'd gone off with karpov.
Marty: I was worried about you.
Carly: So you ratted me out to jason of all people?
Marty: Look, you are a great boss and a great lady, and i don't want to lose my job, but I can't stand around while you're putting yourself in danger. But jason's your friend, and you trust him, and, well, with mr. Jacks out of town, I thought he was exactly --
Carly: Don't interfere again. I want you to send another bottle of vodka to karpov with my compliments, and put on the note that I'm sorry we were interrupted. Please.
Maxie: Carly, do you have a minute?
Carly: Sure, what's up?
Maxie: Spinelli worships jason, and I was just wondering if maybe you could make sure that jason watches out for spinelli.
Carly: Jason does watch out for spinelli.
Maxie: I know, it's just, jason's kind of a blockhead. I mean, he dodges bullets for fun and profit.
Carly: Ok, I don't really want to hear that.
Maxie: I'm sorry. It's just, spinelli's my best friend, and I can really talk to him about anything. It doesn't matter if it's crazy or embarrassing or stupid, and trust me, I've covered all of those bases. He just never judges me, and he's always really loyal. I know he would do anything in the world for me, and believe it or not, I would do anything in the world for him, too, so that's kind of why I'm here. I mean, if spinelli's in danger, I just -- I can't sit on the sidelines and let him get hurt.
Carly: I know exactly how you feel.
Spinelli: This is the closest match to the bullet casing found at the scene where stone cold was most recently almost assassinated.
Jason: A russian-made rifle.
Spinelli: Yeah, so it appears the valkyrie was correct. The ambush was arranged by comrade karpov.
Jason: I mean, anyone can get their hands on a russian gun.
Spinelli: Must I remind stone cold of his skepticism regarding coincidence?
Jason: Ok, I just don't want to jump to any conclusions. It doesn't make sense if karpov would make a move. He's working with sonny.
Spinelli: Yeah, but what alternative conclusion could be reached?
Jason: Somebody else might be involved.
Spinelli: The jackal senses that stone cold may be reluctant to retaliate against karpov because he fears mr. Sir might get caught in the crossfire.
Jason: You're right, I don'T.
Spinelli: Ok, then further information must be gathered, which we will do at our stakeout of comrade karpov's warehouse.
Claudia: I know what it's like to have a parent go off the deep end. Johnny worries about himself sometimes, but he's nothing like our father. I mean --
Nikolas: I -- I understand that, but lulu and our mother have a lot in common. They're both kind and caring. They both open their hearts up to the people they love, but --
Claudia: Wait, wait, wait. Can you take me through it again? What happened to your mother exactly?
Nikolas: Ok, basically, she's endured years of various shocks and emotional traumas, but in the end she had one final misunderstanding where she remembered killing her stepfather, and it broke her.
Claudia: She got violent?
Nikolas: No, no, she didn'T. Just the opposite, actually. She went in this deep catatonia. Now she just sits there in a chair, unable to move, unable to speak, and the doctor -- he's not even sure that she can hear us or sense our presence when we go to visit her. She's locked up inside of her own mind, and the thought of lulu winding up that way scares the hell out of me.
Claudia: It sounds to me like lulu needs more help than johnny can give her.
Nikolas: Yeah.
