Nadine: Can you spare a word of advice about nikolas?
Elizabeth: I can try.
Nadine: I think i may have misinterpreted. For a guy like nikolas -- handsome, cultivated, sophisticated -- having a woman over for a four-course meal and dancing, that's like no big deal, right? Sort of more like a coffee date for a normal guy. So whereas the woman is swept off her feet, for someone like nikolas, it's just no big deal, right?
Nikolas: Elizabeth can't answer that question. Why don't you come right to the source?
Carly: This house is something. Wow.
Jax: Yeah, i was hoping you'd like it.
Carly: It doesn't really matter if i like it. It matters if your mother likes it.
Jax: Well, actually, we don't really have to consider my mother at all.
Carly: That's a little presumptuous, don't you think?
Jax: No, not really. It's ours.
Carly: It's ours?
Jax: Yeah, i put a bid on the property yesterday.
Carly: You want to move?
Jax: I know that you like it here, you know, but this is your house and i still feel like a visitor.
Carly: Jax, that's not true.
Jax: Well, i mean, it's just how i feel, you know? It's easy to be here when things are going well and it's just as easy to walk out when things are not going that well, you know, because it is -- it's your place. I want us to build a place together, you know, something that we are equally invested in.
Carly: A marriage isn't more likely to work because we build a house together.
Jax: No, i understand that. We still have a lot of work to do, and i'm committed to doing that. Besides, this place is too small. We need room for additional family members.
Maxie: Spinelli, do you think you could arrange a new identity for me, like working credit cards and everything?
Spinelli: I could, but i don't think that's the wisest course.
Jason: Nobody has to disappear.
Maxie: That's easy for you to say.
Jason: Ok, just hold on, maxie. You're very resourceful. You think faster on your feet than anybody, but can you keep your mouth shut when you have to?
Maxie: No, you don't understand. There's something about being in a room full of people with all eyes on me that makes my internal editor just fly out the window. I mean, i open my mouth and it's anybody's guess what's going to come out. Did you hear about my sister's memorial service? I planned on saying all these nice things about georgie, and i ended up just yelling at my mom and making her leave.
Jason: That's different from being on the witness stand.
Maxie: Yeah, i know. My life wasn't on the line at the memorial service, but it will be at court. And scott baldwin is going to be yelling at me and poking holes in every lie.
Jason: Ok, that's what you're missing. You don't have to lie. You just tell the truth as you know it. You don't volunteer any information. You don't give baldwin any more ammunition he doesn't already have, ok? You've told your story enough on record, it should be reflex by now. All you've got to do is say it again. Now, i know that you can do that.
Maxie: That sounds like a vote of confidence. Should i be flattered? Probably not.
Jason: All right, well, i'm going to get back to work. I'll stop by later.
Spinelli: Stone cold's advice is the path you should take.
Maxie: I know. I'm going to try.I really am. I just -- i'm terrified. I mean, what if i mess everything up?
Scott: Have you ever been a victim of a violent crime?
Juror: No, and i really hate this whole victimization of america. When did we stop taking responsibility and start blaming our misfortunes on external events?
Scott: We'll pass.
Ric: Have you ever served on a jury before?
Juror: Yeah, sent away some worthless mobster, name of graciola. He's pretty young. I'd nip him in the bud if i were you.
Ric: If you are chosen to serve on this jury, could you be objective?
Epiphany: Absolutely. I have to be every single day at my job. I'm a supervising nurse.
Ric: Do you know the defendant?
Epiphany: I know who he is.
Ric: And would that knowledge effect you positively or negatively during the course of this trial?
Epiphany: No, sir. I know what would be expected of me. And i would do my utmost best to perform my civic duty.
Ric: This juror is acceptable to the defense, your honor.
Scott: No objection.
Judge: Very well. Miss johnson, welcome aboard.
Scott: Would you please state your name for the record?
Edward: Edward quartermaine. And there's no way under God's green earth that i could serve on any jury.
Lulu: You know, we should be able to leave here soon.
Laura: Yeah, eventually.
Lulu: Aren't you anxious to go home now that you're getting better?
Laura: I'm pretty content to take it, you know, one day at a time. There's no reason to rush. What matters is right now, you know? Being here with you and out on this beautiful fall day and knowing that i've finally been some help to you.
Lulu: You, oh, my gosh, have been -- you ok?
Laura: Uh, yeah. I'm tired, that's all. It's ok. The doctor said this was going to happen. Can i -- do you mind if i just take a nap?
Lulu: No, gosh, not at all. I'll walk you to your room.
Laura: Oh, no, no. That's ok. You stay outside. You enjoy the fresh air, hmm?
Lulu: Ok.
Laura: Don't worry. I'll be back.
Lulu: How long have you been standing there? When did you get back? Did you find my dad?
Tracy: I just got here. How are you?
Lulu: Uh, good.
Tracy: Good. That was my standard answer, too. It covers a lot of territory.
Lulu, i went to find your father and i'd like to say i was successful, but i wasn't.
Lulu: Well, you don't have to bring my dad back. I really am ok.
Tracy: Why are you at shadybrook?
Lulu: You know, it's a lot better than where johnny is. He's on trial for a murder that i know he didn't commit. Scott baldwin's going to try and railroad him anyway and it's all my fault.
Tracy: Don't blame yourself.
Lulu: Really? Because johnny would've never gotten caught if he wasn't so desperate to get me help.
Tracy: Lulu, johnny's family is very powerful and they are going to take care of him. The only person you need totake care of is yourself.
Edward: You see, i'm not a well man because i -- i have a heart condition.
Scott: You look pretty healthy to me, edward.
Edward: Well, i can't afford not to. You see, image is everything in business. Did i tell you that i run an international corporation?
Scott: Mm-hmm.
Edward: I have thousands of employees depending on me, not to mention sole support of my family.
Scott: Really? Well, isn't your daughter-in-law monica, chief cardiologist at general hospital? And your daughter tracy, ceo at elq?
Edward: You're talking chump change. You have no idea the bills that i face. And serving on a jury would pose a real financial hardship not only on me --
scott: Financial hardship?
Edward: Well, yes.
Scott: How much money did you make last year just in interest?
Edward: I don't have to tell you that.
Scott: Yeah, you do.
Judge: Actually, mr. Quartermaine, you do.
Edward: That's outrageous, your honor --
scott: How much?
[Edward mutters]
scott: What? We didn't hear that figure.
Edward: One hundred million.
Scott: $100 Million in interest. Well, well, well.
Edward: Besides, i'm biased. I know that kid and i dislike him.
Judge: Mr. Quartermaine, i am losing my patience.
Scott: No more questions. Acceptable.
Edward: Hey. Hey, surely you're not going to agree with that boob. It's your duty to protect your client from potential landmines like me, and it's impossible for me to be objective about this young thug.
Ric: Look, i don't think we haveanything to worry about. We'll just roll the dice with quartermaine. He's full of bluster now, but i don't think he's going to really destroy lulu by convicting you.
Johnny: Maybe, but why do you think baldwin let him through in the first place?
Ric: He doesn't have any more exceptions.
Juror is acceptable, your honor.
Scott: Prosecution accepts.
Ric: The defense accepts this juror.
Scott: Accepts.
Ric: Accept.
Judge: I want to thank you in advance for your service. We will take the morning break, then reconvene for start of trial in 15 minutes.
Edward: I can't believe that i'm going to be locked up in this box with total strangers for an indefinite period of time.
Epiphany: You know what?
Edward: What?
Epiphany: You need to stop. A man like you who has benefited so much from what this country has to offer, and you're whining about participating in our justice system? You should be ashamed of yourself.
[Edward scoffs]
juror: Miss johnson? Or is it mrs.?
Epiphany: It's ms., And you can call me epiphany.
Juror: Well, you were about to leave this, epiphany. Ron price and i'm glad to meet you.
Epiphany: Hmm.
Nadine: You probably think i'm one of those people who babble on and on to any convenient warm body about stuff that should --
nikolas: No.
Nadine: Really be kept private.
Nikolas: No, not at all. I think you're terrific. I just wish that you would come to me with questions about me. And just to set the record straight, i had a great time last night and hope that we can do it again soon.
Nadine: If you're saying that just to be polite, don't bother.
Nikolas: Polite? Well, yeah, there's no doubt about that. I'm pathologically polite. I also have a low threshold for boredom. So i would never ask you to come back to my home if i didn't enjoy your company -- which i do very much. Have a nice day.
Carly: I want a baby with you, too, more than anything.
Jax: So what are we waiting for?
Carly: Ok, let's do it. Our new house -- i can hardly wait.
Jax: You mean it?
Carly: Yeah, i mean it. We're on our way back and we're going to be better than ever.
Maxie: Maybe jason's right. Maybe scott will be so focused on making johnny look guilty that he'll stick to the facts as he knows them, and i can get on and off the stand without ruining anything. I still wish jason would just threaten scott into oblivion, but --
spinelli: You know, i -- i fear stone cold's ruthless efficiency may have been compromised by unwise actions on my part.
Maxie: I thought i told you that whole jason-sasha affair was all in your head, spinelli.
Spinelli: No, i know that now. I just -- before i was struck by enlightenment, i'd already --
[knock at door]
elizabeth: Will you excuse us for a minute? I have to check his vitals.
Maxie: Yeah, i -- i should go. Feel better, ok?
Spinelli: Bye.
Maxie: Bye.
Spinelli: Fair elizabeth?
Elizabeth: Mm-hmm?
Spinelli: Have i inspired your anger?
Elizabeth: Why would you ask such a thing?
Spinelli: It was i who urged you to make forbidden contact with stone cold.
Elizabeth: Spinelli, you don't have to apologize. What happened last night is on me and jason -- no one else.
Jason: Whoever ran spinelli down and left him to die is gonna pay. I want you to look into it. I want you to see if it's tied to karpov -- the sooner the better.
Cody: I'll stay on it.
Jason: All right.
Cody: By the way, kate howard's assistant was here, clarice. She wanted a number for sonny's private island.
Jason: You know, that's for sonny's people to handle.
Cody: Exactly what i said.
Carly: Hey. Hi. I have the best news. Do you have time to hear?
Jason: Sure. Cody, get to the bottom of this for me.
Cody: I will.
Jason: Well, i haven't seen you smile that big in a long time. What happened?
Carly: Jax came home. My marriage isn't over.
Anthony: We got our plant on the jury, no problem. Not guilty verdict is in the bag.
Trevor: Tony, don't let anybody see you acting too cocky. We gotta play this straight all the way.
Anthony: What do you think i am, an idiot? If it comes out that the fix is in, it'll be from your fat mouth. And i'm warning you ahead of time, do not use my son's trial to sabotage your son or to get back at me for choosing ric as johnny's lawyer.
Trevor: Do you think that we could get through one glorious day without you insulting my integrity?
Judge: Bring in the jury.
[Tracy laughs]
[tracy scoffs]
alan: Don't look now, tracy, but you've got feathers around your mouth.
Tracy: Well, it's too delicious. Can you imagine how furious daddy is having to sit on a jury?
Alan: Trapped among the great unwashed day after endless day.
Tracy: I don't think i could've designed a more perfect torture and that's just the cake. The icing is that he already thinks that john zacchara is guilty. It only takes one.
Alan: Well, i have to agree with you, tracy. I think john zacchara's days are numbered.
Alexis: I'm a little surprised to see you here again.
Jax: Well, carly and i are back together. I moved back in, but that's temporary.
Alexis: What? Wait, back up a second. You're back together, but it's temporary?
Jax: The marriage is permanent, the location is going to change. I, uh, i put a bid in on a property yesterday and we're going to build a house.
Alexis: Oh.
Jax: Yes. And i was hoping that you could handle the transaction.
Alexis: Me?
Jax: Yeah, i have a bunch of corporate attorneys that could do it, but i trust you and i want to make sure it gets done right.
Alexis: I'm sorry. I can't do it.
Jax: I was afraid you might say that. It's not as if you don't have a job already.
Alexis: That's not the issue. You know that i would do anything for you, except i'm not going to participate in getting your heart broken again.
Carly: When jax told me that he was coming back home, he surprised me with plans for a new house. This man i thought only existed in fantasies, but he's real. Jax is all mine.
Jason: Well, i'm happy for you.
Carly: Hey, look. I really want to thank you for keeping me calm and steady.
Jason: All i did was pull you back when you wanted to play detective with karpov.
Carly: Yeah. I admit that was potentially very, very dangerous.
Jason: Potentially?
Carly: It was better than running back to sonny, and we both know that's exactly what would've happened. And that would've turned out bad for everyone. I am so grateful that jax does not know about the night i spent with sonny. We made it and nothing's going to tear us apart.
Max: Ok, we'll see you then. The boss and ms. Howard are on their way back from the island.
Diane: Fabulous. All right, now, after they get here, i will find some way to divert sonny while you take kate aside and you just tell her about sonny's limo sex with carly.
Max: I -- i can't do that.
Diane: You can't not do that.
Max: It's not even my business.
Diane: That's why i'm here, darling. I'm deputizing you.
Max: Are you going to feed me when i'm in the unemployment line?
Diane: It is not fair for kate to enter into a marriage with sonny without being in possession of all the facts. The woman has a right to make an informed decision.
[Knock at door]
clarice: Is kate back yet? I need to speak to her right away.
Judge: Before we proceed, i have further information for the jury. This is a case of murder with special circumstances. If you should find the defendant guilty, the prosecution is entitled to ask you to impose the death penalty.
Ric: Your honor, i -- i object. When did this become a capital murder case?
Scott: When you weren't looking. Eye for an eye -- deal with it, lansing.
Ric: I object, your honor. This is a lie perpetrated by mr. Baldwin to avenge the death of his own son.
Anthony: You're not going to kill my boy.
Judge: Order! Another outburst like that and i'll have you all brought up on contempt. Mr. Lansing.
Ric: Your honor, logan hayes was not a member of the police department.
Scott: Your honor, the victim was a police officer and i can prove it
