Maxie:Looks like I got here just in time. You need to -- spinelli, this isn't even a real blanket. When was the last time this was
washed anyway, and where's your orange soda?

Spinelli: Stone cold advised me to drink water instead of high fructose --

maxie: Of course you're going to drink water, but a little bit of orange soda and some potato chips aren't going to hurt your
spleen, or where your spleen used to be, especially after all that icky hospital food and those tests.

Jason: What makes you think you can bring all your junk over here and stay?

Maxie: I told you.

Spinelli needs me.

Kate: I want to be certain about what you said, so i'm going to repeat it back to you, word for word. Sonny and carly had sex in may.

Clarice: Yes.

Kate: Mm-hmm, and you overheard max and diane discussing this.

Clarice: When i went to drop offthe "crimson" mock-ups at sonny's.

Kate: I want you to tell me everything they said, word for word.

Jax: You know, you actually gave me good advice. Possibly for the first time ever, you didn't tell me to work things out with my wife, so
thank you.

Jerry: Thank you? Oh, my God. Well, i've heard the word so rarely, i hardly know what it means except i was right, and you were wrong, and you were
a fool to walk away from carly.

Jax: Ok, now you're gloating.

Jerry: No, no, no, it's my prerogative as the deeply troubled older brother.

[Jerry laughs]

jax: You know, i'm happy, jerry. I'm going to spend the rest of my life with the most amazing woman in the world.

Sonny: I am really glad that you worked things out with jax.

Carly: We're looking at plans to build a house, you know.

Sonny: Well, you always wanted a house, you know. It's great.

Carly: I meant what i said. I really do wish you the best with kate.

Sonny: There's one thing. The night that we took michael to the institute --

carly: Try not to think about that.

Sonny: It was a big mistake, and we're both -- i know that we're both moving on. We need to just let go of that anger, and we need to let go of
that night.

claudia: So help me, God.

Judge: Proceed, mr. Baldwin.

Johnny: Find some way to get her off the stand.

Ric: Be quiet, be calm, and don't stare at her.

Scott: Your honor, permission to treat ms. Zacchara as hostile.

Judge: On what grounds?

Edward: Isn't it obvious? She's a mob princess with no respect for the law or anything else.

Judge: Keep it up, juror two. This is your last warning. Permission denied, mr. Baldwin. I won't allow you to undercut a witness before you've even
asked a question, and i don't appreciate your blatant attempts to sway the jury. Proceed.

Scott: What is your relationship with the defendant, john zacchara?

Claudia: I'm his sister.

Scott: Older or younger?

Claudia: Older.

Scott: Well, you look younger. Could you describe your relationship with your brother?

Ric: Objection, your honor. Relevance.

Judge: Overruled. Answer the question.

Claudia: We're close.

Scott: Did you know the victim, logan hayes?

Claudia: Not very well.

Scott: Well, in what context did you know him at all?

Claudia: Well, he was an attendant for my father.

Scott: Oh, yeah?

Claudia: Mm-hmm.

Scott: What was his -- his duties for your father?

Claudia: Oh, pushing his wheelchair, running errands, getting my father to the toilet. That type of thing.

Scott: Was there tension between logan and john?

Ric: Objection, your honor. Calls for speculation.

Judge: Be specific, mr. Baldwin.

Scott: Did you notice any tension between logan and john?

Ric: Same objection, your honor.

Claudia: I guess i wasn't around them enough to really --

scott: It's -- it's yes or no.

Ric: Your honor, he's badgering his own witness.

Judge: Allow ms. Zacchara to answer the question, then move on.

Claudia: I never saw any tension, no.

Scott: Did you notice that logan and john were in love with the same girl, lulu spencer?

Kate: I would like you to start from the beginning, please.

Clarice: I knew you'd want to look at the portfolio the instant you returned, so i went to sonny's to drop it off. I was on the terrace.
Max and diane were arguing about sonny and carly and whether or not they should tell you that they had sex.

Kate: Is there any way that this -- that you could be mistaken, clarice?

Clarice: It happened the night that sonny and carly took their son to the aftercare facility in manhattan.

Clarice: They had sex in the back of a limo. Max wasn't surprised. I guess it happened all the time --

kate: Has it happened since then?

Clarice: I don't know, but diane and max seem convinced that sonny and carly will always end up together. Apparently, there's quite
a history.

Kate: Look, is there any way that this could be a misunderstanding, clarice? I mean, after all, jax and i were caught in the back of
a limo.

Clarice: There's no misunderstanding.

Kate: Why? Max wasn't driving them. How does he know?

Clarice: No, well, carly went to diane later for legal advice because she thought she might be pregnant with sonny's child.

Sonny: We both threatened to use that night against each other. Can we just agree to stop the -- the blackmail?

Carly: Absolutely. That night was a huge mistake, and it shouldn't poison the rest of our lives.

Sonny: No one needs to know about it. It would hurt a lot of people.

Carly: I agree. I need you to know something. I didn't plan to have sex with you that night. I wasn't trying to manipulate
you into signing over michael and morgan. I wouldn't do that, sonny.

Sonny: We were just out of our minds with pain and grief. I got to tell you, i miss -- i miss michael a lot, especially
on the island. I was thinking about him.I didn't want to get into it with kate, but -- are you going to see michael?

Carly: I see him all the time. Sometimes twice a week, sometimes more, you know. My mom sees him a lot. She's made friends with the
nurses.

Sonny: Have you taken morgan to visit him?

Carly: No, i think he's too young. I -- i want to wait till he's older. It's hard on him. He misses michael, a lot, but you know, he's really gotten
into karate, and he loves it. He's so excited about his birthday coming up.

Sonny: Can i send him a gift?

Carly: Of course. You know, he -- he asks about you all the time. He knows that you're staying away because you love him and
you want to keep him safe. He knows how much you love him, sonny. I always make sure that he knows that.

Sonny: Thank you.

Carly: I'm not doing this -- ok, i'm not trying to keep him away from you to punish you or to cause you pain.

Sonny: Yeah. Yeah, i know.

Carly: You know, at some point, if -- if things calm down, we can work out a visit i think.

Sonny: Yeah, i'd love to see him. Just let me know.

Carly: I will. You know, sonny, um --

carly: We've made a lot of mistakes. Morgan isn't one of them. He's happy, and he has a good life, and i know that's what you
want more than anything.

Sonny: Tell him happy birthday for me.

Carly: I will.

Robin: You can go back to work. I mean, i won't get all paranoid and just assume that you were standing around talking about
me, so --

elizabeth: Actually, we are.

Robin: Really?

Elizabeth: Mm-hmm.

Robin: Ok, then can you all do me a favor and remember all those bonding times, shots at jake's, and just put it to rest?

Lainey: Oh, well, yeah. Well, that would be a lot easier if you would stay off the p.A.

Kelly: And -- and if you'd stop bringing it up every two seconds, it'd be easier.

Robin: How can i not bring it up?

Patrick is going around asking everyone to post a testimonial on the internet.

Nikolas: Ladies, is patrick around? He asked me to meet him here.

Robin: Oh, no. Really? You, too?

Patrick: Hey, nikolas, thanks for coming up. I just wanted to talk to you about something.

Maxie: Here you go. This is better. You need to rest, and don't worry if you feel kind of blue. That's standard post-op.
They've done studies.

Spinelli: The jackal sincerely doubts any such feelings of doom are possible at this moment.

Maxie: Good, well, think positively, have some orange soda and potato chips, but don't go overboard, and i brought you
this. My mom would give this to me because i was sick all the time when i was little. I don't know why i saved it, but
you're supposed to ring it, and any time you do -- anything you need, i'll -- i'll come running.

Spinelli: Anything?

Maxie: Anything.

[Spinelli laughs]

jason: What -- what's with the bell?

Maxie: Well, what do you need?

Spinelli: I -- i was just illustrating our arrangement for stone cold.

Maxie: Oh, any time spinelli rings that bell, you need to get him what he needs.

Jason: Yeah, sure. Your luggage -- it's in the pink room.

Maxie: Oh, thank you. I'm going to go change into something more comfortable.

Spinelli: The jackal realizes that maximista's proximity poses a security threat, but in -- in -- you know, in my state,
i'll be subdued. No secret shall spill from my dry and chapped lips, and also, you know, i sincerely hope that through my recuperation,
maximista's feelings are influenced.

Jason: I think we've been in this situation before. I just don't want you to get your hopes up. That's all.

Spinelli: But see, that's where, you know, where the grasshopper and the master differ. Why abandon your heart to darkness?

Jason: Don't start the heart of darkness. Come on.

Spinelli: No, no, but seriously, what do any of us have, really have without hope?

[Knock on door]

[jason sighs]

mac: The hospital said spinelli was here. I'll make it quick. I just have a couple of questions about the hit and run.

Maxie: Hey, do either of you guys have a loofah?

Maxie: Hey, dad.

Mac: Put your clothes on. I'm taking you home.

Maxie: Why do you always jump to the worst possible conclusion? I mean, i can see how this would be a problem for you, but you
don't have anything to worry about.

Mac: Maxie, you're standing in the living room of two criminals wearing a towel. Don't tell me there's nothing to worry about.

Maxie: Spinelli isn't a criminal, and i'm helping him recuperate.

Spinelli: Oh.

Maxie: Oh, what do you need?

Spinelli: I was just illustrating your point.

Maxie: Oh, remember when mom gave me that bell, and i used to ring it in the middle of the night because i was scared?

Mac: What? That -- that has nothing to do with this. Get him a nurse, will you? It's dangerous for you to be here, maxie.

Maxie: He saved my life.

Mac: He's the reason you were in that alley in the first place.

Maxie: Spinelli shoved me out of the way, and it cost him his spleen. I'm going to make sure he gets better. He would do the same for me.

Mac: I don't even want to think about what spinelli would do for you. Please put your clothes on. I'm taking you home.

[Bell rings]

mac: What?

Spinelli: I have -- i have a loofah.

Maxie: Oh!

Mac: That's it.

Spinelli: No, no, no, i'm happy to share. I -- i find the exfoliating to be stimulating.

Mac: You are not sharing a loofah with my daughter or anything else for that matter.

Maxie, please put your clothes on. Let's go. I'm taking you home.

Maxie: No, i made the decision for spinelli to have this surgery. I'm going to see it through. He needs me.

Spinelli: More than anything.

Maxie: See? I'm staying.

Spinelli: Oh, um, my loofah's in the shower in the pink room.

Maxie: Oh, thank you.

Mac: I swear, if anything happens to my daughter while she's here, that bell is going to find a new home in your colon.

[Door slams]

spinelli: The jackal fears the apoplectic father of maximista will not easily let this go.

Kate: I should have been with him. He needed me. Jax felt the same way about carly You saw us that night. It was the night of the
"couture" gala.

Clarice: You seemed distracted.

[Kate laughs]

kate: Oh, clarice, it was dreadful, and i was actually trying to respect carly's feelings.

Clarice: Sonny loves you very much. I doubt seriously that he's been sleeping with carly this whole time.

Kate: Well, i don't know, clarice The point has been made repeatedly to me that sonny always goes back to carly, and this incident in the limo
certainly proves that. The wedding -- if i call off the wedding -- oh, my -- the gossip will be brutal.

Clarice: There is a case to be made for simply letting this go. After all, you and sonny were not married at the time. You wouldn't be the first woman
to just look the other way.

Kate: I don't know what to do.

Clarice: Kate, i'm so sorry. I seriously considered not even telling you.

Kate: No, no, no, clarice, don't be sorry. I just -- i need to think, ok?

Jax: I need a moment with kate.

Kate: Sure, jax. There's actually a lot we need to discuss.

Scott: Where were you on the night of the murder?

Claudia: I was in port charles.

Scott: Where were you at the time of the murder?

Claudia: I was in and out of my apartment all afternoon and all evening.

Scott: Your apartment? The one that you share with the defendant, john zacchara?

Claudia: That's correct.

Scott: Where was he on the night of the murder?

Ric: Objection, your honor. The witness is not responsible for her brother's whereabouts.

Judge: Be more specific, mr. Baldwin.

Scott: Did you see your brother, john zacchara, the night of the murder?

Claudia: Yes.

Scott: Was that before or after he murdered logan hayes?

Ric: Your honor.

Scott: No more questions.

Spinelli: Maximista's paying a terrible price for her friendship.

Jason: Mac is just worried.

Spinelli: Yeah, but to track her down, to barge in when all she wanted was to exfoliate.

Jason: He didn't track her down here. He came here to question you about the hit and run, which we have to go over again.

Spinelli: I know. The jackal should never have attempted to stakeout on his own, much less convince maximista to accompany him.
It was -- it was reckless and -- and --

jason: Yeah, spinelli, i told you --

maxie: I hope you're not badgering him about the hit and run. He isn't supposed to get upset.

[Bell rings]

maxie: What do you need?

Spinelli: I need you. Please don't send her away.

Patrick: Robin loves me. I love her We're committed to being together. We're committed to raising our child together, so why won't she
marry me?

Nikolas: I -- i don't know. I'm not an expert on robin, but maybe she thinks you just want to settle down because of the baby.

Patrick: Well, i mean, that's part of it, but i love robin. I'd marry her even if she wasn't pregnant.

Nikolas: Did you tell her that?

Patrick: I tried. She twists my words around, you know. Robin's the most challenging woman that i've ever metShe drives me crazy, but she
also -- she makes me better, too.

Mac: Elizabeth, please page robin, stat.

Elizabeth: Ok.

Robin: Hey.

Mac: Hi, listen.

Robin: What happened?

Mac: Listen. Maxie just moved in with spinelli and jason morgan. I caught her standing in their living room, wearing a towel.
Please talk to her before something terrible happens.
