Claudia: Well, isn't this cozy? And I don't think I've been called a goomada in, like, forever.
Max: Hey, hey, can you show some respect? Do you have any idea who this is?
Claudia: Were you on tv or something?
Maximus: No, but this mug has been in the papers a bunch of times.
Max: This is maximus giambetti, my father -- a living legend. Idiot. How many times do I have to tell you not to let people in here?
Maximus: Hey, come on, leave the kid alone. I mean, surely, like, you know, come on.
Milo: Ms. Zacchara, I'm going to have to ask you to go.
Maximus: Whoa. What did you say, mario? Zacchara? Anthony zacchara's daughter?
Claudia: Yeah.
Maximus: What are you doing here?
Claudia: The truth, mr. Giambetti?
Maximus: Yeah.
Claudia: I'm obsessed with your son.
Sonny: You made it clear, I'm no longer a part of the organization, that you won't lift a finger to help protect me or the people that I love.
Jason: I can't let you start a bloodbath.
Sonny: So you think you can tell me what to do, now that you've got some power?
Jason: Do you want to die? You keep pushing, and that's where this is going.
Kate: What are you doing, olivia? Are you threatening me? Are you saying the only way that I can hold on to sonny's love is to keep the secret of his son?
Olivia: We both know that father and son are better off if this secret stays hidden.
Carly: Oh, I love a good family secret.
Kate: It's customary to knock.
Carly: Sorry to interrupt the family bonding, but you did ask me to try and reason with sonny.
Olivia: I bet I know how that went.
Carly: You do if you know sonny as well as you say you do.
Karpov: You were spying on me.
Sam: No, I was checking things out.
Karpov: Why?
Sam: I am a cautious person. I know the cops are leaning on you, and word on the street is, sonny corinthos wants you dead.
Karpov: Nothing has changed.
Sam: Look, this is business. I don't walk into anything blind. That is a good way to wind up dead.
Karpov: So is double-crossing me.
Sam: I -- look, I understand that, and I don't care what you are and why you're here or what you're doing. You pay me green, and that's all that matters. You pay top dollar for me to move your cargo, and -- and that's it. That's the deal. What -- what are you doing?
Karpov: All right, let's --
Sam: What the hell -- come on, please. Will you give that back to me, please?
Karpov: Hey, hey, you're not going to need it now. Now it's time to really prove what you're worth.
[Knock on door]
Alexis: Come in. Lucky.
Lucky: Am I catching you at a bad time?
Alexis: No, I was just going over a case.
Lucky: Well, you wanted to hear if there was any trouble with the zaccharas, and there were reports of a joy-rider in the harbor.
Alexis: Junior playing chicken with the cargo ships again?
Lucky: Well, I went to investigate, but the speedboat was long gone. I found claudia zacchara, but she denies her brother was involved. But I have my doubts.
Alexis: Well, she's probably just doing damage control. I don't know why johnny is acting out after he was just acquitted, but I don't think it's any coincidence that his self-destructive behavior is on the heels of your sister's breakdown.
Lucky: This isn't new. That's why I never wanted johnny around lulu.
Alexis: Well, you know, it isn't easy to tell someone that the person they love isn't good for them.
Lucky: That's why I'm hoping lulu doesn't love johnny, that she can get over it.
Alexis: Are you over sam? Sorry, I -- I guess that was intrusive.
Lucky: Yeah, a little, but you sound worried about sam.
Alexis: Do you talk to her at all?
Lucky: Since the breakup, no, I'm sorry.
[Alexis sighs]
Olivia: Like you said, sonny is and has always been a gangster, so I'm guessing that any plea for him to avoid retaliating against whoever shot my cousin -- it probably fell on deaf ears.
Kate: Ok, perhaps this is a conversation that carly and i should have alone.
Carly: Olivia is family. She should hear this. It's no secret that sonny's out to avenge whoever did this to you. And your cousin's right. Everything I said to him did not matter.
Kate: Because he's convinced that the only way to protect me is to go after the man who shot me. He is trying to stop the violence.
Carly: With more violence.
Olivia: Stop deluding yourself, connie. This is -- this is not about protecting you or anybody else. This is like sonny when he was a kid. He's crazy mad, and he can justify it any way he wants, but this is about revenge. He's going to hit, and he's going to keep hitting until the other guy's got to beg for mercy.
Carly: Sounds like your cousin understands sonny better than you do.
Sonny: I have no intention of dying. What I want to do is keep kate and the rest of my family safe.
Jason: But by going after karpov, you're going to do the exact opposite.
Sonny: I just need your help. That's what I'm asking. I can't sit by and do nothing.
Jason: You don't have the resources to go to war, and even if you did, you're only going to put yourself and everybody you care about in more danger. I'm still not convinced it's karpov.
Sonny: Oh, I'm clear on that -- very clear.
Jason: Ok, good.
Sonny: You wouldn't be convinced if you saw karpov pulling the trigger on dvd. You're just willing to just sit around, do nothing. Who knows, karpov or somebody else might slit the throat of somebody you love.
Jason: I understand -- i understand you don't like how I'm running the business, ok? But every shipment has landed successfully. The foreign partners are happy. They're making money. I have kept the competition in line, and most of all, I have kept the peace, sonny.
Sonny: You are either lying or delusional.
Claudia: Mr. Giambetti, of course. I'm so sorry, I don't -- i didn't recognize you.
Maximus: That's ok, you were, you know, the skinny, shy girl back then.
Claudia: You used to do business with my father, right?
Maximus: Yeah, you know, your father --
Maximus: Wasn't too stable back then, you know. But, you know, now that you've all grown up, I can see that the apple hasn't fallen too far from the tree.
[Claudia laughs]
Claudia: It's crazy, mr. Giambetti. Max and I are from rival families. I mean, there's a million and one ways that this could go wrong, but I can't help myself. Oh, he takes me places no man ever has before. Sex with him is a life-shattering --
Max: Oh!
Claudia: Experience. It leaves me thirsty, begging, just wanting more.
Max: Uh -- try and control yourself.
Claudia: Ah, come on, big max -- don't make me beg for it, now.
Diane: Ok, hands off, barracuda.
[Max clears throat]
Tracy: Success at last.
Monica: Oh, another lead on the wayward husband?
Edward: Hmm, another road to nowhere, huh?
Tracy: No, no, no, this is a solid lead.
Monica: Well, then why are you still here?
Tracy: Well, I'm waiting for confirmation, and when I get it, I am going to mexico to get luke. Hello? Could you muster up a little enthusiasm? Perhaps try for some empathy? Lulu is in shadybrook.
Monica: And you think that luke can help?
Tracy: She needs her father.
Edward: Hmm, he's the one that drove poor laura to the loony bin.
Monica: You know, I agree with edward. I think that luke can only make things worse, tracy.
Tracy: For whom? You don't want him in this house again.
Edward: I must say it's rather nice to have this house without that reprobate. A man's brandy and his cigars and his smoking jacket should be his own.
Tracy: Lulu is in shadybrook, and you're whining about smoking jackets and brandy?
Monica: Come on, tracy, do you honestly think luke can help? Here's a man who openly admits he hates being a father. He has never been around any milestone in lulu's life, and now when she is fragile, she needs somebody with stability and somebody with strength.
Edward: Oh, no, no, no, tracy, you need your husband. Luke spencer is the only man who can handle you -- though clearly for very limited doses. So stop being so damn noble.
Tracy: You're right. What was I thinking? And what good would it do if he gets arrested as soon as he comes back to port charles?
Edward: Mm-hmm, there is an outstanding warrant for money laundering against him, and if there is any justice in the world, they will slap handcuffs on him before he can light up one of my prize havanas. What?
Tracy: Start calling in favors, daddy. Get those charges against luke dropped. Clear the way for my husband to come home, or things are going to get really messy.
Scott: Where do you get off pulling my surveillance people?
Alexis: Excuse me?
Scott: No, excuse yourself. I have an ongoing investigation going on right now, and in these tough times, it's first come, first served. I'm first.
Alexis: You sound like a three-year-old trying to stake his claim in the sandbox.
Scott: I don't really care how i sound. I'm just telling you right now, consider that your surveillance on that russian mobster, karpov, or whatever his name is, has been terminated.
Claudia: Ignore that uptight, old, badly dressed witch.
Diane: Who are you calling badly dressed? And I'm not uptight.
Claudia: You need someone like max here to rock your world, to take you places you've only ever dreamed of.
Diane: Sex for mr. Giambetti is going to be nothing but a distant memory if he continues to consort with the likes of you.
Claudia: Oh, but it's so good. Neither one of us can give it up, can we? You really should tell her, big max.
Max: Um --
Diane: You do realize, of course, that this woman is the daughter of your most dangerous enemy, and she's known for her promiscuity.
Maximus: Best way I know for a girl to get a guy to talk about things he doesn't want to talk about -- unless he's packing, of course.
Max: You think I'm so easily led, I have no self-control?
Diane: I think it is going to be bad for you on every conceivable level if you are with this woman. You're going to wind up hurt in ways you never even dreamed of.
Maximus: I kind of agree with your mouthpiece on this one. Not only does she have a fine ass --
Claudia: Oh!
Maximus: She packs a hell of a wallop.
Claudia: Don't keep me waiting too long, big max, huh? You know I can't stay away.
Diane: If you have no further need for my services, I shall say good night.
Max: Wait, wait, wait -- no, no, no, I'm not through with you yet.
Kate: Sonny would do anything to protect the people he cares about. You know that. That is exactly why I asked you to try to get through to him.
Carly: If sonny wants to keep the people he cares about safe, then he shouldn't retaliate, and for once in his life, he needs to let the police handle this.
Olivia: You know the police, connie, the guys in blue shirts with the badges. They solve the crimes so that people can't go running through the streets, blasting everyone they don't agree with.
Carly: You know what? I know what's driving sonny, and I really wish I could have gotten through to him, but i couldn'T.
Kate: Fine -- then I will. And I don't want either of you here when I talk to him.
Carly: Wow, I guess we're getting the boot. You know what, olivia? We should go have a cocktail.
Kate: Oh, that's perfect. You'll have so much to talk about -- you have so much in common.
Sonny: You think because nobody's made a move against you yet that you've kept the peace? What's happened is it's made you look weak. Your enemies are lining up.
Jason: Oh, they've been testing me from day one, enemies and friends, and each time a message is sent. Nothing flashy, sonny, nothing you're going to read about in the news, no big public show of force. I do what needs to be done to keep everybody in line.
Sonny: Who do you think you're talking to? You used to work for me. You've got to put the fear of god in these people. Because that's the only thing they listen to. But right now, you've made it clear -- you don't want to fight for your territory, so the zaccharas, karpov, somebody else is going to make a move against you, and they're going to take you down.
Jason: Yeah, let them try.
Sonny: We can do this together. Admit it -- you're out of your league.
Jason: I will fight for my territory. But I cannot start a war because you asked me to.
Sonny: So you're going to throw away everything that I built. You're going to put my men at risk.
Jason: I'm not putting your men at risk. I'm protecting your men. And I will protect them from you if I have to. So why don't you do yourself a favor and give up this idea of revenge?
Sonny: You know, I've got to -- I'm going to do what I've got to do.
Jason: Sonny --
Sonny: No, look, you cut ties with me -- somebody who's been there for you, forever. But you know what? You're on your own. And when everything comes crashing down on you, the only one you have to blame is yourself.
Edward: No, I am not calling in any favors to get that good-for-nothing luke spencer exonerated. Listen, at the rate that we quartermaines create our own disasters, I'm going to need all of my ammunition in my belt.
Tracy: Let me get this straight. You're storing up favors to cover our backs?
Edward: At the end of the day, we're all family.
Tracy: Really? No matter what we do to each other, or how badly we behave?
Edward: Of course.
Tracy: Which is exactly why lulu needs her father now.
Edward: No, it's not the same.
Tracy: It is exactly the same. And what good can luke do lulu if he's arrested as soon as he gets home?
Monica: Tracy, luke is your husband. I really think it's up to you to get the charges dropped.
Tracy: He married into this family just like you did, you gold-digging social climber.
Monica: I know where your anger is coming from.
Tracy: From my brother's bad taste in women?
[Monica chuckles]
Monica: From your insistence in staying in an unhealthy relationship with luke. So you need to deal with the consequences, tracy. Otherwise, we are just enabling you.
Tracy: Only you could come back from rehab with more ways to irritate me.
Monica: Well, the program has worked for me. It's taught me healthy ways to cope with you.
Tracy: If alan were alive and cheating on you, you would take him back, so don't preach to me about unhealthy relationships. And by the way, daddy wouldn't be helping me or luke, you'd be helping lulu.
Alexis: You do realize that andrei karpov is the main suspect on the kate howard shooting?
Scott: Well, I'm sorry that someone was shot. However, you're never going to get any evidence on this guy, and with all these shootouts in this town, this russian mobster will be dead long before you ever get him to court.
Alexis: Hmm, so it's your professional opinion that i should just sit on my hands and let the criminal element police itself according to the natural order. That's great. So the strong survive, and the weak get whacked.
Scott: Well, I would say yes, except for the fact that the gangsters are the only ones that survive in this town.
Alexis: Which brings us to the real reason why you're here, because you want to steal my surveillance guys and put them on johnny zacchara so you can catch him doing something, so you can put him under arrest and charge him with something? It's for your vengeance. I'm sorry, I can't support that.
Diane: You know, there is work i could be doing, so unless this sojourn has some sort of specific purpose, then --
Max: I -- I like to walk out here.
Maximus: Well, it's your territory, you do what you want.
Max: It's where I do my best thinking. Haven't I told you that?
Diane: I recall you mentioning something about that, mr. Giambetti.
Max: Well, I want you with me, ms. Miller. I mean, since you are my mouthpiece -- in case you think of anything, you know, legal.
Maximus: Well, thinking he does with you, but with claudia zacchara, his brain takes a hike.
Diane: A woman like that is poison. Never satisfied, always taking and taking and taking.
Maximus: Just like her mother.
Milo: Pop, you knew claudia zacchara's mother?
Maximus: Oh, yeah, domenica -- what a bitch.
Diane: Oh, big surprise.
Maximus: It was a smart day when crazy anthony shipped his wife off, just before she stabbed him in the ribs with a knife, you know? And the same thing's going to happen to you if you stay with this claudia. So take my advice -- find yourself somebody nice, like that carly girl. You know, somebody who knows her place, and somebody who knows how to cook. Not like one of these take-charge girls who'd grab you by the hair until you beg for mercy, capisce?
Diane: Oh, I just can't wait to hear what you think of your father's advice. Capisce?
Jason: What kind of trouble? Just -- just tell me, were we able to land the shipment?
Jason: Ok, just find out who was responsible, please, and get back to me.
Claudia: I love the suit -- love. So when exactly did you decide to trade places with sonny's bodyguard?
Jason: You know, I'm busy right now, claudia.
Claudia: You should be nicer to me. I played along with the little charade.
Jason: What did you do?
Claudia: I pretended that max and I were having a hot, sexy affair, that we were star-crossed lovers from rival families, and we couldn't get enough of each other -- for his dad. You should have seen his dad's face. You should really lighten up. It was just a little fun I was having.
[Jason sighs]
Claudia: I thought it was sweet of you that you would do that for max. You know, to make him look like a big shot in front of his dad. Kind of amazed, coming from you, with everything you have going on, but --
Jason: Why are you here?
Claudia: You're not big on chit-chat. You just can't have a normal conversation, just a little chit-chat, you know, break the ice?
Claudia: I want to stop a war before it starts.
Olivia: You know, I would have taken you for a cocktail girl. A cosmopolitan or a lemon drop or something like that.
