Maxie: Hey, I got your message. Are you ok?

Robin: Yeah, no, I'm fine. I'm just, uh, getting the ultrasound today to find out if I'm having a boy or a girl and Patrick was called into emergency surgery, so I thought you might want to see pictures of your new baby cousin.

Maxie: Of course. I would love to. And I'm very excited that you called me, except the way you sounded on my voice mail and how you sound right now doesn't exactly match. So is there something wrong with the baby?

Robin: No, no, nothing's wrong with the baby. It's just Patrick's right. You know, he's always saying that I'm trying to convince myself that this pregnancy is perfectly normal. And sometimes I even manage to do that. But sometimes when I'm alone and I think about when Alan told me that I was H.I.V. Positive and I was so scared and panicked and I thought my entire life had changed, I never thought I would be a mom. And here I am, not only alive and healthy, but I'm pregnant. And that's not normal. I mean, that's a miracle, but I'm -- to be perfectly honest, uh, it scares the hell out of me.

Claudia: You guys never gave John enough credit. You still act like he's 12 years old, like he doesn't have a mind to think for himself and he can't learn from his experiences and apply them. He would see a trap like that coming from a mile away.

Anthony: You're willing to be your life on that?

Claudia: Absolutely. Johnny knows that I can take care of myself. But Lulu can't, so she's the one who matters. You need to get your minds wrapped around this. Lulu, the girlfriend, she's the big factor here. Look, Johnny was already madly in love with this girl before the jailbreak, which probably came because of Lulu, right? So that means she risked everything for Johnny's freedom. So now he not only loves her, he's indebted to her.

Trevor: Claudia, for somebody who professes not to have spoken to John, you seem to have no problem speaking for him.

Claudia: Oh, because I know my brother. When John thinks of home, he's thinking of a murder trial, life in prison, life without his girlfriend. Right now, he's on the run. He's a free man. But he's with the woman he loves. We have one shot here to bring Johnny home -- one. That is to convince him that he can be acquitted of these murder charges and that Lulu won't be shot.

Alexis: I can only think of two people who would contact Lulu and John and that's Spinelli or Claudia Zacchara.

Nikolas: Don't ask me to name names, it doesn't matter. The most important thing right now is my sister's condition, which is shaky at best. She may be hallucinating, I don't know. What my fear is, is that I think history may be repeating itself. She may be having the same breakdown that Laura did.

Alexis: I want to help, I really do. I want to help you, I just don't know how I can.

Nikolas: Well, is there a way for her to turn herself in safely?

Alexis: Yes, that's what everybody wants.

Nikolas: What kind of charges would she be facing if she did?

Alexis: Accomplice after the fact, obstruction of justice. I can plead for leniency, but I can't stop the charges from being filed because you have Scott Baldwin, who wants a trial and a conviction.

Nikolas: There's no other alternative?

Alexis: I didn't say that. No judge is going to want to throw Lulu in prison if she's mentally unfit.

Nikolas: Well, then how do we prove it?

Alexis: Have her committed for a psychiatric evaluation.

Spinelli: On two mortifying occasions Maximista and The Jackal found themselves in a perilous situation where she then lied about us seeking out new venues for our sexual relations.

Jason: Well, I can see how that can make you uncomfortable. But if the cover story works, it works, Spinelli.

Spinelli: But that's the thing. I don't want her to have to cover for me. I don't want her to see me as some ineffectual wimp that she needs to protect. I need to prove myself to my heart's desire. And maybe then, she will make sweet love to me again. And not as a cover, but as a way to express her -- her burgeoning admiration for my prowess in all things manly.

Jason: Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see how a stakeout is going to make Maxie fall in love with you.

Diane: I was quite literally in the neighborhood, so I thought I would come by and see if you need anyone sued or anything filed for $500 an hour.

Spinelli: The Jackal knows his cue.

Jason: Hold on. Diane, you're going to have to come back. Spinelli and I have something to take care of.

Maxie: I really wish Georgie was here. She loved babies. She was always so sweet and patient with them, unlike me. I kind of freak out. But when everyone hands me a baby, they're always so puky and humid -- but really cute. And I'm sure this particular baby, blessed with genes from you and Patrick, will be a sight to behold.

Robin: It's ok, Maxie, I think we've already established that you don't have to babysit.

Maxie: I might change my mind and want to.

Robin: Ok, well, I won't hold my breath.

Maxie: Good, I'm not the type of woman who puddles at the mere thought of a baby, but I am excited about this one. I mean, it will give Mac and me a whole new little person to love. It will probably take some of that dad pressure off.

Robin: Yeah.

Kelly: You ready?

Robin: Oh, I'm past ready. Except I think I already know what's in there.

Maxie: Do you want to say?

Robin: No, let's find out.

Patrick: Did I miss it?

Robin: No, no, no, you're just in time.

Spinelli: Rule of detection number 42, check list. A secluded spot to unobtrusively watch the target entrance, check. Inconspicuous vehicle? Semi-truck. Food rations sufficient for three days.

Jason: Food for three days? We're not going to be here three hours, much less three days. What are you writing down?

Spinelli: Maintain stakeout log, check. Um, you know, should the situation become most dire, perhaps it would be prudent if your partner were equipped with a firearm.

Jason: When was the last time you went to the practice range?

Spinelli: Um, I don't know, a few weeks.

Jason: How's your foot?

Spinelli: Gunpowder makes me sneeze. I fear I may be allergic. Please do not mention that further emasculating detail to Maximista, please.

Jason: A gun doesn't make you a man, Spinelli.

Spinelli: It's easy for Stone Cold to say from his brave, manly, proficient-with-firearms perch, but The Jackal is confident that those characteristics are not forever out of reach. He will continue to stretch his boundaries to become the danger dude that Maximista craves. And this stakeout will serve as a launching pad.

Alexis: I was just on my way out.

Trevor: Alexis, I promise not to waste your time. My employer understands that his son can't run for ever. Eventually, he'll be found, hopefully by his family. And to that end, we have devoted all of our resources. And when we locate John, we promise he will come back to Port Charles and turn himself in.

Alexis: Why would you do that?

Trevor: Because we believe that he's going to be exonerated. He'll walk free and clear his name.

Alexis: That's very optimistic. But in this particular case, the suspect fleed so it's going to make a self-defense plea less and less likely.

Trevor: Alexis, unfortunately, you and I both know what Anthony's capable of. Remember back to your nephew's Wyndemere ball when Anthony didn't think he's going to see his son forever? He wreaked havoc. So now if Johnny's hurt in any way or he pulls a prison sentence, Anthony and all his madness is going to wreak hell down on anyone concerned. You're a smart, capable attorney. Find a loophole, a way to reduce the charges or dismiss them. Get John out of this -- help him or I really fear there's going to be a terrible price to pay.

Claudia: Uh, don't get too excited, I didn't actually talk to John. I just left my father and Trevor and they have stepped up the search. So if John and Lulu are close, my dad's going to find them first.

Nikolas: Uh-uh, no, that's not good.

Claudia: Did you talk to Alexis?

Nikolas: I did. That's not good, either. Sit down. She says that Lulu's either going to jail or being committed -- both those outcomes are unacceptable.

Claudia: Ok, all of our options are really pretty bad, Nikolas, so what do we do?

Nikolas: I've already done it.

Spinelli: 49 rows of detection failed to provide guidance in how to endure being sequestered in a parked car in the blazing, heat and -

Jason: Why don't you get out and take a walk and cool off?

Spinelli: No, that would draw attention to the vehicle. No, The Jackal is prepared to sit here for weeks if necessary, anything to catch the Russian -- the Russian racketeer and his vile henchmen in the act of covering up their -

Jason: Hey, is that Karpov and the harbor master going into the warehouse right there?

[Car horn blares]

Maxie: I'm going to leave.

Robin: Maxie, you're welcome to stay.

Maxie: No, no, no, it's ok. This is an experience you and Patrick should share together. But whatever's in there, I'm happy for you guys.

Robin: Thanks.

[Robin sighs]

Robin: Ready?

Patrick: Yes, I'm ready.

Robin: Ok, let's do it.

Patrick: Is it cold?

Kelly: Ok.

[Baby's heartbeat]

Kelly: Right there, that's the baby's head, it's hands. The positioning looks real good, too.

Patrick: My boy's doing great.

Robin: Is he right? Are we having a boy?

Kelly: I've got a clear picture. It's definitive. Say hello to your baby girl.

Matt: Oh, god. Look, if you are here to browbeat me again, save your energy. I'm not moving out. And I am way too busy to play your little fight and flirt game.

Maxie: Even you can't be egotistical enough to think I made a special trip here just to fight with you.

Matt: Well, you're here, aren't you? And you don't look sick.

Maxie: Oh, thank you. And my cousin Robin's having an ultrasound, not that it's any of your business.

Matt: Patrick's girlfriend? So what's the verdict, boy or girl?

Maxie: Why do you care?

Nikolas: I have money in foreign banks, property in several countries, and a private jet at my disposal.

Claudia: You want to get John and Lulu out of the country?

Nikolas: It's already in motion.

Nikolas: I have people making new identities for them as we speak. I've also charted a complicated path of transportation for them to follow into their new lives, completely untraceable. When Johnny calls you, you tell him how to get them to safety.

Claudia: Nikolas, I want to trust you, more than you know, ok, but you have never, ever approved of my brother with your sister, so how do I even know that you're not setting a trap for him?

Nikolas: It's simple. To save Lulu, I have to save John. To save John, you have to protect Lulu. A trap for one ensnares the other, does it not? So the way I see it, you and I have no choice but to trust each other.

Claudia: Ok, I can do that, Nikolas. So when Johnny calls me, where do you want me to send them?

Anthony: This is such a pretty dolly. Where did you get this?

Kristina: My mommy gave it to me.

Alexis: What do you think you're doing?

Anthony: I'm having a chat with your charming daughter. I think little Kristina likes me.
