Alexis: Ok, since you scheduled this appointment through my office and not through me directly, I'm assuming you want Alexis the lawyer and not Alexis the friend.
Jax: Well, can't I have both?
Alexis: You can have whatever you want. So how can both of me help you?
Jax: Well, Carly and I are moving forward with the divorce proceedings and I want you to represent me.
Alexis: Ok. I mean, you're my best friend, whatever you need.
Jax: Mm, I feel a "but" coming.
Alexis: Ah, it's just a little red flag. Carly and I loathe each other, so I don't want my involvement to make anything worse for you.
Jax: That would only happen if you insisted on saying, "I told you so."
Alexis: I take no pleasure in being right -- about this. Honestly, if anyone deserves forever love, it's you. And for what it's worth, I believe that Carly does love you in her way.
Jax: Yeah, that's what makes it so damn hard.
Johnny: Hey.
Carly: Hey.
Johnny: You got a minute?
Carly: Uh, yeah. Congratulations on the acquittal.
Johnny: Yeah, thanks. It was a nice surprise.
Carly: I'll bet.
Johnny: Have you, uh -- I was wondering if you've been to Shadybrook lately?
Carly: I'm going to see Lulu tomorrow. Why?
Johnny: Lulu's doctors don't think it's a very good idea for us to see each other right now. And Lulu knows about this, but, I don't know, she's just very fragile right now and I don't want her to think I'm abandoning her.
Carly: I'll make sure she doesn't.
Johnny: Thanks. Hey, while I'm on a roll, do you think you could get back to me after you see Lulu? Tell me what you think?
Carly: I can do that.
Scott: You two over here gloating? You think you got away with murder, but you didn't. Just because you're not in shackles, doesn't mean you're not going to pay.
Carly: You better be careful. You're threatening an innocent man in front of a witness.
Scott: My son is dead. He is rotting in the ground, and he did it. Now let me assure both of you, one day your father is going to know what it's like to feel the same pain and the same emptiness that I do.
Kate: Are you mad?
Sonny: After everything Carly's done, I mean, why shouldn't you stick up for yourself? But I just want you to understand Carly's not a threat to you.
Kate: I know that.
Sonny: Ok.
Kate: It would just make perfect Carly sense for her to try to sabotage the wedding in some way, either out of her need to hold on to her claim, or more likely, out of her pathological need for revenge.
Sonny: It doesn't matter what Carly wants or why. She has to have my participation to get it, and that's not happening. It took a lot to get you to trust me again. I'm not going to trash that for Carly or for anybody else. You're going to be my wife to be. You better get used to it.
Kate: I think i can manage that.
[Doorbell rings]
Sonny: Just ignore it. Ignore it, please.
Kate: Oh. Oh, no. Oh, no. Sonny, you have to go. I just remembered you have to get out of here.
Sonny: What do you --
Kate: Here, you have to put this on.
Anthony: I'm giving you a head's up. Prepare for big changes from top to bottom. Because I'm not happy with the sloppy way this organization's been run since i've been distracted by -- I'll call you back. Did you sneak past the guards, or do i need to call for body bags?
Jason: You've got a shipment in the harbor on a freighter out of the grand keys. And from what I hear, it's supposed to dock at pier 24. That's a violation of our truce, so move it or I'm going to blow it up.
[Anthony chuckles]
Anthony: You tempt me, Mr. Morgan. How I would love to eat that loss. It would finally give me a valid reason to retaliate, and we'd be off to the races. I'd get to sink my teeth into a good old-fashioned, go-to-the-mattress war. Take you to school on how we did it back in the day. Put some fire on that ice that runs through your veins. You'd be put to the test. Your measure as a boss taken. And we'd see who'd be the last man standing. But therein lies the rub. I can't stand. So because I'm just a pathetic shell of my former self, rolling around in a wheelchair, you'll get what you want. The status quo stands. None of my shipments touch pier 24, including this one.
Jason: Good.
Ric: Somewhere between cocktail hour and the end of the day, I expect to be briefed on all the Zacchara holdings in this organization.
Trevor: Expect it? Forget about it. Even if we weren't about to unload an important shipment within the hour, I don't have the time or the inclination to take you by your hand and walk you through the company business.
Anthony: There is no shipment.
Trevor: What?
Anthony: I'm canceling it. I'm sending this ship back to the grand keys.
Trevor: Now, why would you do that? Do you know how much money we're going to lose?
Anthony: You mean, you know how much money I'm going to lose. You should never have approved that shipment in the first place, Trevor. Why didn't you just send out engraved invitations? You might as well have, the way you sat that cargo smack in the middle of the harbor aimed at a pier that you knew was off limits. You made it easy for Morgan to find and threaten it, and that's a rookie mistake, Trevor. Which tells me that you're either not paying attention, or you're really off your game. And either way, I can't have that! Effective tomorrow, you are in charge of imports.
Ric: Thank you, Anthony. You won't be disappointed.
Trevor: The hell he won't. First off, those are my piers. And you just made a big mistake, which you ought to rethink. Putting that kind of trust in my son Richie, it's just going to come around and bite you in your ass.
Anthony: Richie is the reason that Johnny is free. I already trust him. In my office, 8:00 A.M.
Ric: I'll take care of it.
Trevor: Tony, wait.
Anthony: I'm in no mood for your whining, Trevor.
Trevor: I never whine. This is a fact. Johnny might be out of prison and free, but he is still vulnerable to Lulu Spencer. And so as long as Richie is your newly anointed, you best get him to find a way to keep Lulu and Johnny separate forever.
Anthony: Ric's got enough on his plate. You could use a win, Trevor. Work on it. Split up Johnny and Lulu in some lasting way, and I might let you back in the fold.
Jax: Should be pretty straightforward. Carly and I didn't share a lot of community property, so --
Alexis: Ok, well, that will save you a lot of trouble. That's good thinking. I mean, in retrospect. All right, here is what I am going to suggest, all right? I think that you should offer her a lump sum in lieu of future claims.
Jax: Well, I'll offer, but i doubt she'll accept.
Alexis: You're a big goofball, you know that? After all the ways that she manipulates you, and you still think the best of her.
Jax: Yeah, well, I'm not so good because a better person might not be sitting here with you right now. He'd be at home sticking it out with his wife like he vowed to do.
Maxie: I finally tracked you down.
Carly: Why did you need to?
Maxie: Well, i'm following up on RSVPS for Kate's wedding, and, tsk, tsk, you haven't sent yours in yet.
Carly: I'd rather stick cocktail forks in my eyes than watch Sonny marry Kate. There wasn't a box to check for that option.
Maxie: Look, I know we're not friends, but we know a lot of the same people, and quite frankly, have a similar track record. So as one bad girl to the other, you need to be at that wedding.
Kate: So, um, I would like the service to be eloquent, yet simple.
Reverend: Mm-hmm. Oh -- oh, my goodness.
Kate: Look who just dropped by. Oh, I forgot. You were planning to make me lunch.
Reverend, this is my extremely thoughtful fiancee, Sonny Corinthos. Sonny, this is Reverend Norris.
Rev. Norris: Pleasure. Glad you're here, Mr. Corinthos. I was hoping to speak to both of you.
Sonny: You can just call me Sonny. That'd be good, yeah.
Kate: Ok, so we'll sit.
Rev. Norris: I'd like to review a few things. Now, my forms indicate that this
is your first marriage, Kate?
Kate: Yes, that's correct.
Rev. Norris: And, sonny, your third.
Sonny: Sixth. Depends how you look at it.
Rev. Norris: Six?
Sonny: Well, my first wife died, and then my second I married four times.
Rev. Norris: Were those episcopal ceremonies?
Sonny: No, catholic.
Rev. Norris: Were any of those four marriages annulled?
Sonny: No, but we are divorced.
Kate: Wait, wait. You know what this means? In the eyes of the Catholic Church, you're still married to Carly
Carly: Why would I want to watch Sonny marry a woman I hate?
Maxie: To show that you're the bigger woman, that you can wish Sonny well despite everything that has gone on between the two of you. I mean, Carly, you need to walk into that church with your head held high, totally designer-ed out, looking better than the bride. Make people wonder what sort of drugs Sonny and Jax were on to ever let your utter fabulousness go.
Carly: It would be worth it just to see the look on Kate's face.
Maxie: She would die. Kate knows that if you woke up one morning and all bets were off, you'd take Sonny back and she'd be toast.
Carly: Ok, you're going way past "bad girl" empathy. You're either completely disloyal to Kate, or you have some kind of agenda.
Maxie: I know Kate, ok? I mean, I owe her, like, my life. She gave me the best job in the entire world. She opens those doors for me every single day, but she can kind of be a bitch sometimes. I mean, have you seen how she goes off on Spinelli? And do I ever say anything? No -- in my own time. I just -- i call it like I see it.
Carly: Yes, you do.
Maxie: But back to the wedding. You're going to need an escort, right?
Kate: Reverend, how can Sonny and I say our vows before god if God still considers him married to Carly?
Sonny: With all due respect, God's not going to be paying attention to us. I mean, look -- and I don't mean that in a bad way. I'm just saying on that particular happy day, God's going to be paying attention to something wrong in the world.
Kate: No, sonny.
Sonny: No?
Kate: This is wrong.
Sonny: This is --
Kate: What, call me quirky. I'd like to be your only wife. It's just another sign.
Sonny: Stop now with the signs.
Kate: Reverend, does this disqualify us?
Rev. Norris: Not at all. While Episcopal doctrine honors Catholic marriages, it also
honors how state law defines divorce. You're perfectly free to marry in our church as long as Sonny is indeed divorced from his previous wife.
Sonny: Oh, absolutely. She's married some other guy.
Rev. Norris: Then there's no problem unless the bride has misgivings.
Kate: No, I have no misgivings. And I'm sorry for taking us off course. So sonny and I would like to have a traditional ceremony. We'd like to say the traditional vows from the common book of prayers. Except there'll just be -- there will be one exception. I will not say the word "obey."
Lulu: Lucky just left. I walked him out. I won't lie, it hurt watching him drive away knowing I wouldn't be leaving myself. It scares me to think how crazy I am. Knowing that you only existed in my head all that time. But I'm not sorry. I needed you. I could have never gotten over Logan and my guilt without you. To think when I actually confessed, nobody even believed me. I could have stood on the rooftop and yelled that I killed Logan Hayes and still I wouldn't have gone to prison. I think about all the stuff that Johnny and I did to prevent that. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter, because Logan's gone and I still have Johnny, and Johnny and I still have a second chance.
Lulu: I love you, mom. I know that you love me, and that's why I choose to believe that part of you -- maybe it was your spirit -- was really with me. You saved me. So I'm going to make you a promise. This -- this silent life in this chair is not going to be my fate. I'm going to let the doctors help me. And when they say it is ok, I'm going to go to Johnny and I'm going to love him with everything I am. And I'm going to go back to "Crimson" and reclaim my lowly position in the fashion world. I'm going to live my life and claim everything that you've ever wanted for me. Maybe that will even the score.
[Lulu sighs]
Lulu: I love you, mom.
Jason: All right, what's the big emergency?
Carly: I didn't say there was an emergency. I said this was important.
Jason: Ok, I'm listening.
Carly: I want you to escort me to Sonny and Kate's wedding.
Jason: I'm not going. You shouldn't either.
Carly: I can't stay away.
Jason: What -- what good is going to come of you crashing Sonny's wedding?
Carly: I wouldn't be crashing the wedding. I'm an invited guest. The good is, it will make me feel great and Kate will be miserable.
Jason: Ok.
Carly: Best of both worlds.
Jason: Do -- do you remember promising me not to make any waves?
Carly: I'm not going to make waves. I'm not going to stand up and object or anything.
Jason: Well, I wouldn't put it past you.
Carly: Ye of little faith.
Jason: Do you really think you can sit there calm and quiet while Sonny marries somebody else?
Carly: I don't know. Maybe not. In fact, now that i think about it, it's entirely possible that I could stand up and dosomething unplanned -- make that probably. So, you know, it could help me a lot if you were there.
Jason: Ok, so here -- here comes the blackmail.
Carly: No. It's a best friend asking her best friend for some help and support. I would really like it if you could be there with me.
Jason: I'll let you know.
Maxie: Hey, have I had a day. I went to go visit Lulu at Shadybrook.
Spinelli: How is the original blonde one?
Maxie: Well, if she takes my advice, she should be fine. Although, anything would be an improvement. So then I went to the metro court to track down Carly. Are you ready? Not only did I convince Carly to come to Sonny and Kate's wedding, but I talked her into bringing Jason. So not only will Sonny feel supported, but he won't go over the deep end, which should increase the chances that "Crimson" will survive and that will help my glowing fashion career.
Spinelli: The Jackal is awed by your persuasive power and your remarkable, though convoluted, chain of reasoning, but I -- I detect a flaw in your logic.
Maxie: Are you kidding?
Spinelli: Well, the Valkyrie is not known for her subdued personality or self-control. In fact, at times it's even impossible for stone cold to contain her.
Maxie: So you think Carly will slow boil until she erupts and ruins the wedding?
Spinelli: I think there's a better chance than not.
Maxie: But that would be a disaster.
Spinelli: My point exactly.
Maxie: Ok -- ok, well, it's too late to stop the train, so I should just cover my tracks. Was that a pun?
Spinelli: Good job.
[Maxie and Spinelli laugh]
Maxie: It doesn't matter. Kate can't know that I have anything to do with Carly coming
to her wedding.
Vito: So what happened to your busy day?
Olivia: I closed the counter early. Here, you look thirsty.
Vito: You want something.
Olivia: I need a ride to the airport tomorrow.
Vito: Call a cab.
Olivia: A cab costs money.
Vito: Catch a bus.
Olivia: Bus takes too long. Come on, Vito. How many times I helped you to hell and back? Don't bust my chops here.
Vito: I'm trying to look out for you. Going to Sonny Corinthos' wedding is a bad idea.
Olivia: Why don't you think of it as a nice gesture to your cousin Connie?
Vito: Connie might as well not even be there. This is about unfinished business with Sonny. Olivia, I'm your brother. I was there. I remember you bawling your eyes out every night after Sonny dumped you for Connie, and now you're going to watch the two of them get married? It's a recipe for disaster.
Olivia: Ok, well, the flight leaves at 10:00. Pick me up at 8:30.
[Vito groans]
Olivia: Thanks.
Sonny: Hey, you worried?
Kate: No.
Sonny: Come on, be honest.
Kate: All right. Um, it freaks me out a little, you know? Once upon a time, it was my dream to get married in a Catholic church, but we'rebarred. It's like we're excommunicated.
Sonny: Come on, you don't have to take it like that.
Kate: What?
Sonny: Well, i'm just saying --
kate: It's just one more thing to add to my pile, one more bad omen like blood on the wedding dress.
Sonny: My surprise will ward off all stupid curses. My surprise is the good omen that ends all bad omens. My surprise is so fantastic, that anything that's happened or will happen, will not spoil our beautiful day. Now, get over here and stop obsessing, ok?
Kate: Ok.
