Robin: Hey. What's wrong? Did spinelli relapse?

Maxie: No.

Robin: Then what are you doing here?

Maxie: Well, i didn't really know where else to go.

Robin: Something happened in court?

Maxie: I thought scott baldwin was going to ask me all about the night logan died, and instead, he just wanted to know about when i slept with him.

Robin: Hmm. It was probably difficult talking about --

maxie: Admitting that i slept with a loser like logan just to make lulu suffer? Yeah. That was difficult. It's just i thought i made all
these bad choices and i had paid for them, but i guess nobody can really do that. You should have seen spinelli.

Robin: He was in court?

Maxie: Yeah He got all dressed up, and what did he get for his troubles? Chapter and verse on what a slut fair maximista really is.

Robin: Oh, come on. I'm sure he doesn't judge you.

Maxie: No, he doesn't judge me. He just makes excuses and forgives me, but that doesn't change all the things i've done.

Robin: You're getting past them.

Maxie: Sometimes i don't think you really can change a reputation. I mean, i'm always going to be a liar with no self-respect, and
spinelli's always going to be a geek.

Robin: I don't know about that. I mean, patrick's changed.

Maxie: I hope so. But a lot of people, including you, still expect patrick to go back to the way he was before.

Sam: Why exactly are you here?

Jerry: Well, for the pleasure of your company. And i'd like to take you on a little boat ride.

Sam: Really? Where to?

Jerry: Well, i recently purchased some property, and it's only accessible by boat. So what do you say? Would you like to pilot me there
and back, captain nicole?

Sam: Um -- i'd -- when would you like to go?

Jerry: Today.

Sam: Oh. I'm sorry. I actually have plans today.

Jerry: Oh, well, i suppose your mother's free instead.

Sam: Oh, excuse me. It's me or alexis, you do know that.

Jerry: You drive a hard bargain, sweet sam. I certainly hope you can back it up.

Lucky: There's no way you're getting on that boat with that psychopath.

Sam: Oh, ok, fine. Then we need to come up with a better plan.

Sonny: The night in the limo, carly and i just left our son tied to a bed for the rest of his life. I was feeling, you know, dead
inside, and carly and i did what we did. We felt worse afterward but we both agree that it's best to -- you know, act like it never
happened.

Mike: And did kate buy any part of that? Listen, sonny. All i'm saying is you are as addicted to carly as i am to gambling.
You have your good years and your bad years, but it's always in the back of your mind.

Sonny: Kate is my future. Carly and i are done.

Mike: Kate. Kate just called off the wedding.

Sonny: She's hurt, mike. She has every right to be. But we're going to work things out. I love her, and you know, i'm going to do what i can to make
it up to her.

Mike: Ok, what if the tables were turned, ok? What if -- what -- what if --

sonny: Yes?

Mike: Kate had sex with jax that same night and waited all this time to tell you. Would it still be a temporary setback? You know, i think this is goingto be a lot more difficult than you say it is.

Kate: Well, i never thought you would be low enough or desperate enough to create a labor dispute that would threaten "crimson".

Sonny: What labor dispute?

Kate: Ok, you know how much i care about the magazine. You know better than anyone how hard i work, but it doesn't matter, right? You don't care.

Sonny: What --

kate: As long as the mighty sonny corinthos can swoop in, save the day, and make me grateful?

Sonny: What are you talking about?

Kate: It's not going to work, all right? It's transparent, it's heavy-handed, and it reeks of organized crime.

Sonny: Ok, a labor dispute messed with "crimson." You want me -- i'll make a call.

Kate: Don't you dare. I want you to stay out of my life.

Sonny: It's a lot more fun for you to yell at me in person, isn't it?

Kate: I have every right to make my point.

Sonny: Yeah?

Kate: Yeah.

Sonny: Then why didn't you just pick up the phone and call --

kate: Just -- you know, stay away from my magazine, all right? And stay away from me.

Mike: Temporary setback, huh?

Jason: You -- you shouldn't be showing up here.

Elizabeth: Why not? Carly does.

Jason: Since when do you follow carly's example?

Elizabeth: I don't know. Maybe i should a little more often.

Jason: No, you don't -- you don't mean that.

Elizabeth: Don't tell me what i mean. Or assume you know what i want or what i can handle. When i came to port charles years ago, i handled myself just fine. I was fearless.And you know what? I liked who i was back then. I went after what i wanted with no apologies, and that's what i'm doing right now.I want you. And i know you want me.

Nikolas: I'll be taking my sister back to shadybrook myself. Assistant d.A.: We're under orders to return her.

Nikolas: The judge released her to my custody.

Lulu: Please, nikolas, just go back in there and convince the jury that i killed logan, please.

Nikolas: Lulu, i'm not sending you back there with strangers.

Lulu: I'm going to be fine. I'll go back to my room and rest. Just please, i was just trying everything better for johnny,
and i made it worse. Please, please just tell them.

Nikolas: Ok. Come on.

Nadine: What happened?

Nikolas: Lulu confessed, but nobody believes her.

Claudia: I'm sorry, wait. Lulu told the court that she killed logan?

Nikolas: Yes. She was hysterical. And it sounded even to me like she was covering for john.

Nadine: I can be a good listener.

Nikolas: Well, lulu could very well spend the rest of her life in a mental institution.

Robin: You're being pretty hard on yourself. I mean, you've changed a lot in the last couple of years.

Maxie: Not really.

Robin: You have. I mean, really, a lot of people would have just given up after georgie and after coop but you didn't. You held it together.
You have a great job that could possibly turn into a career. You have a wonderful friend in spinelli.

Maxie: No, i had a wonderful friend in spinelli. But not after court today.

Robin: You don't know that yet.

Maxie: Look, he's going to act like everything's ok. But things won't be the same again. I'll see you.

Robin: Hey, um -- so, you know, everything about before -- i didn't even think for a moment that you and claudia --

patrick: I appreciate that. Thank you.

Robin: I want you to know that i'm committed to you and that i consider us a couple and --

patrick: Ok, robin, i don't want you to worry about that kind of stuff, ok? Because we're in a good place and our daughter's going to grow
up knowing that we love each other, and that's what's most important. I'm just -- i'm sorry that i was causing you stress.

Robin: Causing me just a little bit of stress, but it's okay. It's --

patrick: Good. Because you know, we're in a good place now. And i finally realized that's how you want your life to be.

Lucky: All right, what if i talk with jax?

Sam: Talk with jax and tell him what? Exactly what? That you're almost sure his brother's involved a counterfeit drug ring but you don't have
any proof?

Lucky: Ok, all right. You're right. You know what? The fewer people that know, the better.

Sam: But then, lucky, please, please, please let me do this my way. I promise you. You have nothing to worry about.

Lucky: You're really annoyingly --

sam: What?

Lucky: Brave.

Sam: Ok, so you're going to be ok with it?

Lucky: No, i hate the whole idea. And it'll definitely change the way i feel. I'll care about you even more.

Sam: Sweet. So then, we are on. Oh. Jerry.

Jerry: Sweet sam. What may i do for you?

Sam: Um, i was just wondering if maybe you wanted to come over for dinner tonight?

Jerry: Ah. Why, i thought you'd never ask.

Sam: Ok. It's official.

Lucky: You know what? Let's just forget about jerry. Right now, it's just the two of us.

Kate: So, get the labor lawyer on the phone. Have him file an injunction that will get those people back to work just long enough so that
the issue can get out. I will not have months of my hard work derailed because the two sides can't sit down at the bargaining table.

Clarice: It's ok.

Kate: Clarice, please don't try to make me feel better.

Clarice: No, i mean, really, it's ok. In fact, it's a miracle. I just got a call from the union steward. Management agreed to all the printers' demands. There will be no strike. The crisis is over.

Jason: If we get involved, everybody's going to be at risk.

Elizabeth: Not if we keep it a secret.

Jason: What, do you want to go back to lying to people?

Elizabeth: A huge part of our life will always be a lie -- for jake. And you know what? I'm over it. I am tired of being miserable.
I want us to figure out a way to be together.

Jason: How can i justify that after what happened to michael?

Elizabeth: No life is ever safe. And you do not have the right to decide --

jason: My life is against everything that you believe in.

Cody: Andrei karpov to see you.

Jason: Ok. In a minute. You've got to go out the back way.

Elizabeth: No, no, no, no. We're not finished.

Jason: What are you doing? You can't be here.

Elizabeth: Watch me.

Spinelli: You're leaving.

Maxie: You, uh -- you should probably lay down. Let me take those.

Spinelli: They're for you.

Maxie: Thank you. I'm sorry you had to hear all that stuff in court today.

Spinelli: Why must you leave?

Maxie: You're feeling better, aren't you? Besides, i think it's probably best that we have a little distance so you don't have to pretend you didn't hear for yourself what a slut i really am.

Kate: Ok, so now get the labor lawyer on the phone and find out why this crisis blew up so quickly and then was resolved in
less than an hour.

Sonny: Actually, you know, you don't need to be calling any lawyers, clarice.

Kate: Excuse me.

Sonny: What?

Kate: Don't boss my staff around.

Sonny: I'm sorry, i was just -- well, i mean, if, you know, you want your boss to pay for the lawyer to tell you that there's
no problem, go ahead. That's --

clarice: I think i'll check my email. I wouldn't want to fall behind on anything.

Sonny: Right, right, right. You're not going to thank me?

Kate: Why? For manufacturing a crisis?

Sonny: I didn't -- i didn't order the labor dispute. I made a couple calls and i had people go back to work. What's it --

kate: And now you expect me to be grateful.

Sonny: You -- come on, look. You -- you put your heart and soul into this magazine and you want it to succeed, and it will.

Kate: Don't bother with the dimples. I don't care how many strings you pull. Or say you love me, because obviously marriage means
something different to you than it does to me.

Sonny: No, no, no. Don't do that.

Kate: I want you to take this.

Sonny: No, i'm not taking it.

Kate: I want you to take this back, because the wedding is off. I'm not marrying you.

Karpov: Last night, someone brutally beat two of my guards. Left them in the alley outside of my warehouse.

Jason: You mean the alley where my associate was run down?

Karpov: An unfortunate accident.

Jason: Unfortunately, your guards aren't dead.

Karpov: Then you admit that you ordered the attack.

Jason: I didn't order it. I did it myself.

Lulu: I tried to admit that i killed logan. I thought that it would set him free. But everything that i said came out wrong and now the jury is
going to find him guilty.

Laura: Oh, honey, you told the truth. I'm proud of you.

Lulu: No, but i'm not just scared about johnny. I'm scared about me. If they find him guilty and put him to death, i will really go
crazy.

Edward: I told you that would happen.

Epiphany: Poor lulu. She's driven herself crazy trying to cover for that boy.

Ron: Open mind, remember?

Trevor: If the jury convicts john, i'm going to appeal it.

Anthony: If the jury convicts john, and i lose my son, you're going lose yours. Just so we're clear.

Claudia: I want you to put me back on the stand. I'm the only person that can dig johnny out of this hole.

Judge aroyo: Recess is over, ladies and gentlemen. Mr. Baldwin. No more surprises, i hope.

Scott: No, your honor. The prosecution rests.

Judge: Mr. Lansing.

Ric: Yes, your honor.The defense would like to recall claudia antonia zacchara.
