Sam: Thank you. Thank you so much for coming over here. I needed to be around a sane person. So, did you get any results back on the clinic fire?

Lucky: Yeah, we confirmed it was arson.

Sam: Ok. Fine. I just know that jerry's behind it.

Lucky: Then shouldn't you tell alexis?

Sam: Should I? Well, yeah, I guess in a rational world, I would tell alexis. Absolutely. But my mother doesn't trust me already, especially around men. And if I tell her that I feel something negative about jerry, I better be able to have something to back it up.

Lucky: Then you can't keep playing him indefinitely. I mean, if this whole thing blows up in your face before we catch him --

Sam: Listen, my mother is a fair person in her own way, ok? And if I tell her that I suspect jerry, then she's going to want to go to him, get his side of the story, and he's not going to react well to being double-crossed. If he thinks that he is a suspect, he is going to start covering his tracks, and we just -- we may never catch him.

Lucky: Yeah. We should never have gotten involved in this.

Sam: Just hold me. Tight, please. We're going to get through this.

Alexis: John zacchara has been found not guilty. My children are safe. Scott baldwin hasn't called me for, I'd say, seven-and-a-half hours. So as distracted as I was this afternoon, tonight, I'm all yours.

Jerry: Well, it's an enticing offer, indeed.

Alexis: What?

Jerry: Um, well, I'm not entirely sure how to approach this.

Alexis: This can't be good.

Jerry: Well, I need to be honest, which in itself is quite unnerving.

Alexis: Do I need to call a lawyer? Are you going to confess something? Should I recuse myself?

Jerry: No, no, no. This has nothing to do with any of that. It's -- it's about sam.

Alexis: I'm listening.

Jerry: I've -- I've made excuses for her showing up repeatedly, especially, well, since we're together, and it's happened several times, and it's escalating.

Alexis: Hmm. I've noticed that.

Jerry: Yes, she's invited me to her apartment on several occasions, and, you know, i don't want for you to revisit, you know, old history between you and her, but I think sam's coming on to me.

Carly: I'm not so sure about this whole internet dating thing.

Spinelli: Come on. The valkyrie has to keep an open mind.

Carly: How did I match up with two widowers, a cheating husband, and scottie baldwin?

Maxie: Well, we don't know for sure that it was scott baldwin.

Spinelli: Yeah, I mean, no system is perfect.

Maxie: You have to be realistic, carly. Guys like jax, they come along once in a lifetime. So whoever you're with next will probably have to be a compromise.

Kate: Thanks for coming over. I didn't know who else to call.

Sonny: What?

Max: Boy-toy -- that's what she called me, it was her boy-toy.

Kate: It's been a recurrent theme.

Max: I thought we had something real. I thought I mattered.

Kate: Uh, I think he and diane had some sort of misunderstanding. I'm not quite sure how I fit in, or why he would show up here.

Max: I was nothing to her. A passing fancy, a temporary amusement. And why? Because I wanted to mind my own business.

Sonny: Max --

Max: Shh. Do I seem like a boy-toy to you?

Sonny: You had a fight with diane?

Max: Boss, she broke up with me, and I didn't even do anything.

Sonny: I just saw diane earlier with jason --

Max: Wait, wait, wait. Diane broke up with me to be with jason? Oh.

Diane: Name me one thing more invigorating than shutting down a bunch of small-town politicians with a good presentation, strong arguments, and a silent but terrifying client. You have to admit, we were brilliant.

Jason: They are going to give us everything that we want.

Diane: Well, of course they did. Oh, come on, jason, the city council should be grateful that you're even interested in renovating that section of the piers. The whole project is going to make the area safer, more commercial. It won't cost a dime of the taxpayers' money.

Jason: You were, uh -- you were good with the mayor.

Diane: Yeah, yeah. Well, I know a guilty man when i see one. The man is ripe for an affair, if he isn't all ready having one or two -- or 17. A dog.

Jason: Oh, yeah. He agreed to everything. Why -- why are you mad at him?

Diane: I just feel like he's up to something. And he was especially nervous around you.

Jason: I'm used to that.

Diane: You're right. You're absolutely right. There is nothing to worry about. So now it's time for me to go home and make a good strong martini, relish my solitude, and hit the internet. There is no better cure for heartbreak than shopping for shoes online in the middle of the night, and I have seen the most delicious pair of slingbacks. What's that?

Jason: Graciella found it when she cleaned the office.

Diane: It's max'S. He must have lost it the night we -- he was devastated when he lost it. I got it for him for our three-and-a-half week anniversary.

Nikolas: Ok, so I ordered some roasted chicken for dinner. What are you doing?

Nadine: Where's the vacuum?

Nikolas: The what?

Nadine: Vacuum cleaner. It's a machine. It's picks up dust and crumbs, sometimes it has a big hose or a bag. On wheels, and you push it or pull it. It makes a lot of noise.

Nikolas: I'm sorry. I have no idea.

Nadine: Well, I need one. I got cookie crumbs all over the place, and no offense to your cleaning lady, but there's a bunch of dust bunnies under that chair.

Nikolas: Dust what? What's a dust bunny?

Nadine: I never know when you're teasing.

Nikolas: I'll tell you what. I'll tell alfred, and he'll take care of everything. How's that?

Nadine: Oh, I hope I didn't get alfred into trouble.

Nikolas: No, no, of course not. In fact, he may have said something about the maid being on vacation. She usually does all the cleaning on this floor.

Nadine: I -- I'm not complaining. I just didn't want to leave a mess.

Nikolas: No, no. But see, the idea here is for you to get some rest while my staff takes care of you. You understand?

Nadine: Yeah, I don't know if i was meant to be waited on.

Nikolas: Well, could you get used to it, just for me?

Laura: Honey, are you all right?

Lulu: Yeah, I'm -- I don't know, I'm just a little disappointed. Johnny came to see me earlier today. But lainie made me go to group, and when I came back, johnny was gone.

Laura: You expected him to wait?

Lulu: Yeah. I mean, after everything that we've been through -- yeah, i would. I mean, I probably shouldn't worry, though. He left me a note and said that he loved me and he didn't want to interfere with my recovery.

Laura: Well, then, maybe it's best that you don't see him for awhile, and you just focus on that recovery.

Lulu: That's exactly what lucky said. I will be so happy when the doctors pronounce me sane, so that lucky and nikolas will stop fighting about me and johnny.

Laura: Your brothers are fighting?

Lulu: Well, nikolas understands that I love johnny, and lucky wants me to stay away from him.

Laura: Honey, is it possible that maybe lucky is right, and as much as you love this boy, johnny, that maybe he isn't good for you?

Kate: Ok, max, one more cup, all right? It will make you feel better.

Max: This doesn't make any sense.

Sonny: You got to eat, max. Because if you don't eat, it's not good for you.

Kate: I only have lettuce.

Sonny: You have lettuce?

Max: Diane likes lettuce. Why do women always like lettuce? And why couldn't I see it when it was right in front of me? It must have started last summer. Diane defended jason at his trial. I mean, who knows how many hours they spent together?

Sonny: Ok, ja -- jason is not involved with diane, max. Come on.

Max: Wait, wait, wait. Suddenly it makes sense. It explains why -- it explains why diane likes jason better. She always yells at you. She never yells at jason. Oh, no, not that guy. And jason couldn't wait to boot me out of there.

Sonny: You quit.

Max: What choice did I have?

Sonny: Well, you -- you said to me that, you know, you missed working for mary, or were you lying to me?

Max: No, I mean, jason made sure of that.

Sonny: Oh.

Max: And also he could get his hands on her.

Kate: All right, max, look, i know diane very well. She adores you.

Max: She's a good liar. I mean, I'll give her that. And she is a lawyer, after all.

Sonny: Max, max, max, you got to understand something. You know, diane was probably just upset because she broke up with you, and jason was comforting her.

Max: You know what you walked in on. Don't sugar coat it for me, ok? It was my mistake. I should have kept my eye on the prize. That's what diane did. You know what? That's what I'm going to do.

Sonny: No, no, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Give me your keys.

Max: No.

Sonny: Give me your keys. You're not driving anywhere.

Max: No, no, no. I'm not driving. My brother's driving. He better drive fast, because I'm going to go get the woman of my dreams.

Kate: Um, he means diane, right?

Sonny: Well, I hope he finds the woman of his dreams, because, uh, I have.

Carly: So, what you're telling me is this is basically hopeless.

Spinelli: Fear not brave, but brokenhearted valkyrie for one savoir suitor remains, and you match in almost every category.

Maxie: Spinelli, no, no, i don't think that's who carly had in mind.

Carly: Who is it? Danger dude?

Noah: I'm not here to make excuses.

Matt: Just leave.

Noah: Look, your mother and i reached a decision that I would provide child support and -- and pay for some of your education.

Matt: What is that? Hmm? What is that, like $5,000? Because that probably didn't pay for two days of medical school.

Noah: We made this agreement before you were even born. Like I said, I provide financial support on the condition that i never -- I never make any contact with you. I more than kept my side of the bargain, believe me.

Matt: Yeah. Ok. So then, just go away. Just go. You didn't want me then, and i don't need you now.

Noah: Look, you're badly injured and you need surgery. I can help you.

Matt: I don't want to ever take a damn thing from you.

Noah: This is not the time to argue about this.

Matt: Get me another doctor, would you?

Noah: Look, you can be as angry as you want, but I'm still your father.

Jason: Diane pushed the whole redevelopment project through the city council. It was, I mean, it was great. She did a -- she did a great job. She kept --

Carly: It only validates what I've known for years. Don't know why I needed the internet.

Jason: Yeah, it is carly, bernie. Good guess. I -- I'll call you back.

Carly: You know, I should have known better than to even consider doing the internet thing, but it was better than watching jax on that stupid --

Jason: You know what, spinelli was trying to help you out in his own --

Carly: It was a total disaster. You should have seen the men that e-mailed. I'm pretty sure one was scottie baldwin. When all along, there was one man that matched up 24 out of 25 times on the compatibility quiz.

Jason: So who was the poor guy?

Carly: You.

Sonny: You want to know what i did?

Kate: Hmm?

Sonny: I went over to jason's to invite him to the wedding.

Kate: Ok.

Sonny: Not long ago, you know, he would have been the best man.

Kate: Well, mike is excited --

Sonny: Yeah?

Kate: That he gets to be the best man. It's nice to have family at the wedding.

Sonny: What about your family?

Kate: Well, no one from my family will be there, I can assure you.

Sonny: But that's not a good thing. No, I'm just -- you know, it isn'T.

Kate: What are we going to do? I made my choices. There's no going back, right? Anyway, let's review the seating arrangements.

Sonny: All right. You know what? As long as you put people where they're not fistfighting, I'm happy.

Kate: I could really use your help.

Sonny: I got a meeting.

Kate: Couldn't you reschedule?

Sonny: No, because I -- I -- it's important. I got to -- I got to -- I got to be there now.

Lulu: Mom? Mom? Mom.

Laura: It's ok, honey. I was just resting.

Lulu: I know, I know, but I am scared that I'm going to come in here and you're not going to wake up.

Laura: Well, I suppose that could happen. But I don't think it will. I -- I feel different this time.

Lulu: Well, good. I'm glad.

Laura: But, honey, I've been thinking a lot about us, and i think that it's really not fair of me to ask you to keep such a huge secret, especially if your brothers are fighting with each other, and you've got this situation going on with johnny. And I think you need your family more than ever right now. So I think it's time. We should tell lucky and nikolas that I -- that I woke up.

Nadine: It's not that difficult to do chores on crutches. I mean, it takes a little longer, but they get done. And I was lucky that all I got out of it was a broken leg.

Nikolas: From falling off of a hay truck?

Nadine: Yeah, well, it was pretty late into the night, and my brother warned me to stop stacking so quickly, but i wouldn't listen. I just wanted to finish. Anyway, that broken leg was a lot worse than a little smoke inhalation.

Nikolas: So what you're saying is, you're immune to pain.

Nadine: I'm not in pain, except when I cough. And I definitely don't need to be pampered.

Nikolas: I disagree with you.

Nadine: Why'd you stay with me at the hospital? And why'd you bring me back here? I mean, I thought maybe we were on to something before the fire, but it seems like something's changed.

Nikolas: Yeah. Um, I don't know, when I -- when I pulled you out of -- out of the building and I thought i was too late, and you weren't breathing, I -- look, I don't know, I -- I guess -- I don't quite know what's going on, but I know that something's going on, something good.

Nadine: I don't know what to say, for once.
