Elizabeth: Ok, let me think about this, just for a second. I have a week of vacation that I either have to use or lose, so
I don't think Epiphany's goingto mind such last-minute notice, and like I told you, Lucky's going to take the boys to the mountains this week.

Jason: Ok, you should -- you should tell Lucky you're going away with me.

Elizabeth: I will, just in case there's an emergency with the boys. But he's getting on with his life, and I'm getting on with
mine.

Jason: Ok, I should leave, or I'm never going to leave you. I want you to meet me tomorrow at the airport, ok, right after
the wedding, and you can just wait in the first class lounge for me.

Elizabeth: Ok, I'll be there.

Jason: All right.

Nikolas: Why would i want to show up at your room in the middle of the night, nadine?

Nadine: That -- that's not what i meant.

Nikolas: You were hoping that i'd just climb through the window and -- oh, wait, that was you at the police commissioner's home.
I'm sorry.

Nadine: Be quiet.

Nikolas: If i don't know what you want, how can i give it to you?

Nadine: Ok, look, look. We are -- we are really busy. Obviously, we are swamped until epiphany gets back, right, leyla?

Leyla: Oh, i'm staying out of this one.

Nadine: Look, what i meant was that i know how worried you were about me, and i thought that maybe you might come in in the
middle of the night and check to make sure that i was still breathing or something.

Nikolas: Right, yeah.

Nadine: Besides, why are you making such a big deal about this? What, you can't make it through the day without me?

Nadine: Well, i didn't expect you to just get up and leave this morning.

Nadine: Well, i have to get back to my real life, because i might have another clue.

Nikolas: Oh, don't -- don't. Is this about the drug ring thing again?

Nadine: It's just a hunch.

Nikolas: Can we go back to the part where i show up in your bedroom in the middle of the night? That was -- whatever it is,
please don't do it.

Nadine: I'll be fine.

Nikolas: It's going to get out. All right, all right, whatever. What's the clue?

Nadine: You're just going to laugh at me, and besides, it's probably nothing, so don't worry about it.

Nikolas: Too late now, right, leyla?

Nadine: It's just something that i thought of when i was lying awake at night in your castle.

Nikolas: Wyndemere is not a castle.

Nadine: Well, it's the closest thing that i have ever been to a castle, and those nights i spent there were the closest
i've ever been to a prince, which was really not that close.

Nikolas: What is the hunch?

Nadine: You'll find out soon enough, maybe. But right now, i really have to get back to work. Thanks, leyla, and i'm sure
that -- that you have to get back to whatever it is princes do all day.

Nikolas: I work.

Nadine: Really? Huh. Let me know when that happens. I would love to see that for myself.

Nikolas: I work.

Lulu: Johnny!

Lucky: Lulu?

Lulu: You just made johnny leave, didn't you?

Lucky: I'm trying to help you.

Lulu: You have no right to keep johnny away from me.

Lucky: Will you just look at this at another point of view?

Lulu: You know what? If you're going to lecture me, you might as well leave.

Lucky: Nobody enjoys keeping you away from johnny.

Lulu: You and dr. Winters are wrong.

Lucky: Now, dr. Winters is very reasonable, and she has a great reputation. I agree with her, lulu. Your life started falling apart
the first day you met that guy.

Lulu: Fine, when i met johnny some bad things happened, but again, johnny didn't cause any of them.

Lucky: Lulu, you are lying to yourself.

Sonny: You heard from max?

Milo: Yeah, he got to sicily ok.

Sonny: And?

Milo: He, um --

sonny: How's it going with your father?

Milo: Well, i'm glad i wasn't the first-born son.

Max has it pretty rough sometimes.

Sonny: Well, i can imagine. I mean, you know, maximus giambetti -- that's a legend, right?

Milo: Yeah.

Sonny: Ok, turn around.

Anthony: Please, there's no problem. Can you spare a minute for a crippled old man?

Kate: Ah.

Olivia: Hey, connie.

Kate: Olivia?

Olivia: Surprise.

kate: You look good.

Olivia: Well, you don't got to sound so surprised about it. Look at you. You look like, uh, one of those ladies who lunch at the carlyle.

Kate: Yeah, ok, thank you. Thanks. So, um, how did you find me?

Olivia: Sonny.

Kate: You're my surprise.

Olivia: Well, try to contain yourself.

Kate: No, no.

Olivia, no, i'm sorry. I didn't -- um -- i just -- it's been twenty years, and, um -- how did he find you?

Olivia: Well, it was bensonhurst, connie, it's not the other side of the moon. He called mr. Rollo, he asked how he could contact me, you
know, and we met at frankie's.

Kate: Oh, right, frankie's. Wow. Is it still there?

Olivia: Oh, frankie's will be there forever. Listen, if you don't want me here, i'm on the next plane out.

Kate: No, no, no, no. No, no, no. I want you. I want you here, olivia. No, i'm just trying to process and --

olivia: I told sonny that you were going to hate this. But he has got this idea in his mind that you want your family around, so --

kate: I know, i know. It's just -- it's weird. Ok? Because i've been thinking a lot about you lately, and it's very strange.

Olivia: Well, this is a really great house you got here.

Kate: Thank you.

Olivia: Sonny's driver pulled up and i thought he had the wrong address. Sonny gave me my own driver and car, do you believe that?

Kate: Yeah. He likes to show off.

Olivia: And what, he lives in the fortress next door? As the driver pointed that out, too.

Kate: Uh-huh. It was a complete accident, olivia. No, really. I mean, none of this was supposed to happen. I wanted to spend some time
outside of the city. This was supposed to be my weekend home. I never intended to live here full-time. I never intended to leave
"couture." I wasn't planning to marry sonny.

Olivia: Well, you were always real good at getting what you wanted. I missed you, con.

Kate: I missed you too, olivia. More than you can imagine.

Claudia: But you'd be able to get the dress in time for the wedding? Oh, thank you so much. The whole wedding thing is sort
of last-minute, and yeah -- no, i just really appreciate it. Got to go. Um, i take it that it didn't go so well, the visit with lulu?

Johnny: It didn't go at all.

Lucky spencer made sure of it.

Claudia: How did that happen?

Johnny: He was sitting there waiting for me outside lulu's door in the hallway when i got there. It took all i had not to beat
the crap out of him on the spot. But i know the last thing i need is an assault on a police officer. I'm sorry.

Claudia: Hey, you got that right. You really do. You don't need that, john.

Johnny: I don't get it. I mean, why can't he just be a little more like nikolas? You know? I know nikolas hates me, too,
but at least he respects what lulu wants and what lulu needs. I promised lulu that we would be together after the trial and i've been there, what, once?

Claudia: John, lulu needs time to get better.

Johnny: I know. I'm the one that took her there in the first place. And everybody's sitting here pointing the finger at me like
i'm bad for her. Go ahead, say it.

Claudia: Well, what is there to say, johnny, except i really don't care about lulu one way or another except insomuch as it
concerns you, and i know that it would kill you to watch her go crazy. Whether it's your fault for playing with fire or it comes
from her own mother's dna.

Johnny: Why is it so impossible to believe that she might ge better?

Claudia: Johnny, i love you. I want you to have what you want, right? I just don't see how having lulu spencer in your life makes it any better.
I mean, today's a perfect example of that. What would have happened if you would have hit lucky spencer? You'd be right back in lockup.

Johnny: I just wanted to see her.

Claudia: Even if her doctors ask you not to?

Johnny: Well, what if the doctors are wrong? What if everybody's wrong and lulu does need me? Then by staying away, i'm failing her.

Sonny: Whatever you have to say, i'm not interested.

Anthony: I owe you an apology. I was out of my mind with worry for my son when he escaped and i said some things to alexis
davis regarding your daughter. Things i regret. It was a mistake. One that i won't make again. Now, i don't expect us to be
friends, or even associates. But from one father to another, i wish you well.

Carly: Make sure ms. Falconeri gets a fruit basket and a bottle of our best champagne. Oh, and let's comp her any and all services at the spa.

Marty: I'll make sure she's taken care of.

Carly: Thanks.

Jax: Which guest is getting the royal treatment?

Carly: An old friend of sonny's in town for the wedding.

Jax: Oh, carly, i'm not interested in rolling out the red carpet for the mob.

Carly: It's not the mob. It's an old friend from bensonhurst. I met her this afternoon. She's really nice. I like her.

Jax: Then why should she get a free ride?

Carly: You have comped kate howard's snotty guests for the wedding almost anything they want. You're going to begrudge sonny's friend a fruit basket?

Jax: You're up to something.

Carly: Maybe. Maybe not. But the sooner you realize that my decisions here at the metro court are just as important as
yours, we'll get along just fine. See you at the wedding.

jax: I need to see everything we've got on this guest of sonny's.

Marty: Uh, she seems very nice. Very brooklyn.

Nikolas: Jax. I appreciate your willingness to meet with me on such short notice.

Jax: Oh, the meeting. That's right. Your assistant called my secretary.

Nikolas: Is it a bad time?

Jax: No, not at all. Please. Excuse me.

Nikolas: Would you be more comfortable meeting in your office?

Jax: I don't assume this will take very long, will it?

Nikolas: No, no, of course not. My attorneys e-mailed you over all the paperwork, but i wanted to discuss the situation with you in person.

Jax: Why, is there a problem?

Nikolas: No. But i would like to make a formal offer on the metro court.

Jax: You want to buy this place?

Nikolas: Yes.

Jax: Why?

Nikolas: Well, i'm expanding my local properties.

Jax: Well, the metro court's not for sale.

Nikolas: It's quite a generous offer.

Jax: Well, if you want to expand, i mean, there's plenty of commercial property you canbuy around here at a decent price.

Nikolas: But i want this property

jax: Why don't you try the cosmopolitan?

Nikolas: I don't want the cosmopolitan, i want the metro court.

Jax: Why?

Nikolas: Ok. You see, there's this incredible view from the front terrace on spoon island, it's --

jax: You want to buy the metro court because you can see it from your front porch?

[Speaking russian]

[phone rings]

johnny: Lulu.

Lulu: Are you coming here?

Johnny: I wanted to, but if seeing me is going to keep making you sicker --

lulu: It won't. You helped me get this far. Please, don't leave me now.

Johnny: But if the doctors keep telling me to stay away, i can't keep just showing up.

Lulu: You're wrong. The trial is over. You're free. You promised me we'd be together.

Johnny: We -- we will be.

Lulu: Promise me you'll see me tonight.

Johnny: I can't. It's past visiting hours. I'm --

lulu: Ok. Promise you'll see me tomorrow. Please. I need something to look forward to.

Johnny: I promise.

Kate: You still working at the car dealership?

Olivia: Yeah. I run the parts department, and vito runs sales.

Kate: Oh, really So does anyone know that you came to see me?

Olivia: Everybody knows, con. They tried to talk me out of it all the way to the airport.

Kate: The name is kate.

Olivia: Not to me.

Kate: Well, actually, my legal name is kate.

Olivia: A lot of people get out of bensonhurst without doing what you did. A lot of people stay there their whole lives and do just fine,
thank you very much.

Kate: Um, olivia, i really do miss you. I miss the neighborhood. But, um, the girl i was then? She's gone.

Olivia: You know, we all grew up, connie. We all changed. Everything changed, not just you. Everything. Except sacred heart.
Sacred heart's exactly the same, right down to the stupid uniforms and feasts.

Kate: Feasts? You mean the feast of santo rosalia?

Olivia: Yeah.

Kate: I haven't thought about that in a while.

Olivia: Yeah, you should see it now. All those lights. And they still got the best zeppole in the city.

Kate: I'll bet.

Olivia: Mm-hmm.

Kate: My parents used to take me to that every year. My father, he would never let go of my hand, and my mom would always buy me something special.

Olivia: You were all i had, con. You know what, you should do an article about the feast of santa rosalia in "crimson".
I think that would be great. Just pictures of the lights and all the people and everything.That would be so pretty.

Kate: You read "crimson"?

Olivia: Well, i used to read "couture," too. It really went down after you left.

Kate: Oh, really? Wow.

Olivia: You did good, connie.

Kate: Olivia, can you please just do me a favor and call me kate at the wedding?

Sonny: How do you like the surprise?

Carly: You have to take me to sonny's wedding. I really want to be at sonny's wedding. I can't wait to be at sonny's wedding.

Jason: Why -- why are you so happy?

Carly: Well, you know, the wedding is a chance for me to prove to sonny and jax i don't need either one of them. I can stand on my own two feet.
And i'd like to wish sonny well.

Jason: Ok, that's the same line you gave me yesterday. Exactly.

Carly: Yeah, well, i'm telling you the same thing today.

Jason: No, no. Something else is going on.

Carly: I want to get there early. I don't want to miss a second of this wedding.

Jason: No. You're all fired up for a reason. You have a plan.

Carly: We all have a plan.In one form or another.

Jason: Carly, just tell me what's going on?

Nadine: Oh, God, no! I got on the wrong ferry, obviously. And --

[man speaking russian]

nadine: Oh, um --

sasha: It's obvious to me that you need a translator.

Nadine: Boy, am i glad to see you.

Sasha: They don't understand a word you're saying. Although "spy" has the same meaning in any language.

Nikolas: Come on, jax, you have diversified interests. I'm sure you could do without this hotel.

Jax: But the metro court is not for sale. I mean, if you're serious about acquiring a hotel, why don't you build your own?

Nikolas: You haven't even heard my offer, which means your refusal is probably personal.

Jax: No, it means that the metro court's not for sale, and this conversation is over. I'm sorry.

Carly: Let's just say today i got a whole new insight into sonny and his bride-to-be.

Jason: Ok, i'm just going to say, if you're planning to sabotage the wedding, i'm not going to take you.

Carly: That's the beauty.I don't have to do anything. I just want to be there to see it happen.

Jason: See what happen?

Carly: Tomorrow, the great kate howard will get exactly what she deserves.

Anthony: So, ric tells me he's taking you to sonny's wedding?

Claudia: Well, he didn't ask your permission, did he?

Anthony: He's keeping me current, claudia. I expect you to do the same.

Claudia: Do you have a problem with me going to sonny and kate's wedding?

Anthony: I don't even know why you're bothering to go there.

Claudia: Because i want to see who shows up. I want to see who's in the room. I want to see and i want to be seen, you know?

Anthony: That's a good instinct. But don't keep ric too busy. I need him for other things.

Claudia: Like what?

Anthony: Well, it may be time to form an alliance with mr. Corinthos. To keep the power in the family, as it were.

Olivia: So i got to ask you, how long did it take for you to get used to calling her kate?

Sonny: Well, you know, that's how she introduced herself when we first saw each other again. She's definitely created this
person who she wanted to be, you know? She's doing things that connie falconeri couldn't even think of.

Olivia: Connie falconeri could have done anything. She could have been anything.

Sonny: Kate doesn't think so. That's why i know she wants to reconnect with her past.

Olivia: It's a little bit late now.

Sonny: No, it's not. Look, i want to bring the family to her. You know, the old neighborhood.

Olivia: She's got to want it, too.

Sonny: If she had to do it all over again, i know she would do things differently.

Olivia: Who wouldn't? Wouldn't you? Given the opportunity to go back and do things different, wouldn't you?

Sonny: Are you ok with this? Are you weird with this? Because if you are, then just let me know, you know?

Olivia: I'm fine. Don't worry about me, ok? Vito said this was a terrible idea, but i said, what the hell? Anyway. You always could talk me into
anything.

Kate: Well, i don't mean to rush you, but we can't be late for our own rehearsal dinner.

Sonny: Why don't you come with us?

Olivia: Oh, no. Thanks for asking.

Sonny: Well, it would be nice to have someone from the old neighborhood and you could maybe meet some guy there or something.

Olivia: I don't have anything to wear, no. I brought one nice suit for the wedding, but i can't wear the same thing both places.
It would be a cardinal sin, right, kate?

Sonny: You know, speaking of the wedding, it's up to kate, but she doesn't have a maid of honor.

Olivia: You asking me?

Sonny: I'm not -- well, it's up to kate. I mean, you know.

Olivia: I -- no, i couldn't possibly.

Sonny: Well, here's what happened is two people, they backed out.I don't know exactly what happened, but her assistant
stepped up, and it would be nice to have family. You guys would be --

kate: Yes, of course, family. It's just a little late notice.

Olivia: Well, i mean, can't-- can't one of your bridesmaids just step up? I mean, how big's the party?

Kate: Uh, it's pretty small.

Olivia: You don't have a friend that can help you out here, or what?

Kate: You know, sonny's right. I would actually really like to have family. Would you consider it?

Olivia: Sure.

Kate: Ok.

Olivia: Sure.

Kate: I'll have the dress sent over tomorrow.

Sonny: Yeah, that means you have a dress for the wedding rehearsal, too, so if you want --

olivia: No, really. Guys, i'm not going to push my luck. Anyway, i could use the rest. I think we both got a big day tomorrow, right?

Sonny: You sure?

Olivia: I'm going to go back to the hotel, yeah.

Kate: Ok, so --

olivia: Bye.

Kate: Bye.

Sonny: All right, i'll see you tomorrow.

Olivia: See you.

Sonny: You ok with this?

Kate: Ah, it's a pretty big surprise.

Sonny: Yeah, but it's family and i know you miss family.

Kate: Yeah, yeah, but i've got all the family i need right here.

Sonny: Ok.
