Monday September 8: Part 1

Robin: I can't be in labor. It's too soon.

Elizabeth: The best thing to do is just breathe, all right?

Patrick: You and the baby are going to be fine. You're going to be fine.

Robin: Ok.

Jason: We have nothing to discuss.

Sasha: Your associate here disagrees. According to her, you're prepared to strike against Mr. Karpov.

Spinelli: What Maximista meant -

Sasha: Her meaning was unmistakable. And unless you care to explain, right and you're about to start a mob war.

Kate: It's a simple question. Yes or no? Did you have sex with Carly the night when you took Michael to the institute?

Sonny: Yeah.

Jax: Wow, it's quite funny when you think about it, isn't it? You know, like, I went to all the trouble to ask for a separation, trying to figure out a way to save our marriage, When it was already over.

Carly: Jax, don't say that. Please, don't say that.

Jax: You slept with Sonny at least once that I know about.

Carly: It was only that one time.

Jax: Well-

Carly: Jax -

Jax: At least you didn't add insult by denying it.

Carly: Don't walk away and don't tell me our marriage is over.

Jason: All right, let's get something straight. This is not my associate. Mr. Karpov and I made an agreement. I plan on honoring it. Unless he makes a move against me all bets are off.

Maxie: But Spinelli wasn't run down in front of Karpov's warehouse.

Spinelli: Maximista, perhaps it would be best not to -

Maxie: You're Lucky that Spinelli's ok and, if anything ever happen to him--

Spinelli: I am perfectly capable of dealing with the Slavic seductress.

Sasha: Look, no one working for Mr. Karpov had anything to do with the unfortunate incident. I came here to give you my personal assurances.

Jason: You've done it. Goodbye.

Maxie: Well she was totally lying

Spinelli: Stone cold, Maximista was only trying -

Jason: That's enough. You guys keep messing around like this, somebody is going to get killed

Lucky: I'm so ready for this to be over.

Sam: Ok listen to me. Getting shot during the DEA drug bust definitely helped my street cred with Karpov and his drug runners. I am definitely making progress.

Lucky: W hat do you mean, you are making progress?

Sam: I don't want to say it a million times, so can we wait for Nadine and Nikolas to get here?

Lucky: No, no, no, I haven't heard from either one of them, and I don't even know if Nikolas will remember about this meeting. Listen, I'll call, ok?

Sam: No, no, no, actually, don't -- don't call him, because, you know, now that I think about it, Nadine -- it's no secret that she has a thing for Nikolas and I've seen the way he's lately. It's a girl thing, so will you trust me on this? If they want some alone time, they should definitely have some alone time. And it'll give us a chance to be alone too and I think that's all the better.

Lucky: Oh, you're not fair.

Sam: What the voice of reason. I don't want to be the voice of reason.

Sam: I think that is good.

Lucky: God, I miss you. I miss you so much -- I want to rip your clothes off.

Sam: Ok, ditto and... ditto. Come on, let's go.

Lucky: Do you know we're in the back room of a medical clinic -

Sam: Yes, I know. It's risky, I don't care.

Lucky: Anyone could come in.

Sam: Guess what. I like taking risks. Whoa!

Boy: Do something! Help her. My mother can barely stand up. The pain's so bad.

Matt: All right, all right. Try and stay calm, all right? Tell me what happened.

Woman: I get bad headache, Migraines

Boy: I took her to the hospital and they gave her this medication.

Leyla: Which hospital?

Matt: Mercy

Man: I need help, please.

Boy: She started taking this medicine and right away I could see something was wrong. Look at her she's so pale.

[Leyla went to help man]
Matt: Can you follow this? I think she might have been poisoned.

Claudia: Where's John?

Ric: I asked the -- the guards to wait to bring him up. I wanted to talk to you first about what happened in court today?

Claudia: When Scott Baldwin produced that so-called evidence? Please I wanted to scream. The idea that Logan was some kind of an undercover cop -

Ric: Scott got -

Claudia: It's ridiculous. Oh, my -

Claudia: What, that Logan Hayes is some kind of a martyr?

Ric: Shh, this is a death penalty case now. I just want you to be aware about what we are up against.

Claudia: Scott wanted Johnny to get a lethal injection. And he tried to twist my words on the stand today, but I didn't let him. I think I held my own. I mean, I didn't say anything that would incriminate John

Ric: I -- I think that the jury was aware that you were holding back. But I don't think that you did anything to help Scott's case. You were a credible witness.

Claudia: It wasn't a horrible first day, then, right? I mean--

Ric: You want me to tell you what you want to hear, or do you want the truth?

Sonny: I'm sorry. I never -- I never wanted you to know

Kate: A lie is a very bad way to start a marriage.

Sonny: It happened once in -- in an extreme circumstance.

Kate: Accord to everyone else its routine behavior for you -

Sonny: It's not -- ok -

Kate: And Carly.

Sonny: It's not going to happen again. I promise you. I regret what happened. It will never happen again

Kate: Why should I trust you?

Sonny: Because I -- I -- I did it -- I didn't -- I didn't -

Kate: What?

Sonny: I was--We were taking Michael to the institute.

Kate: Uh-huh.

Sonny: We were putting him in. We were saying our goodbyes. We went -- we went to the car. It was raining. We started to talk about Michael, his hopes, his dreams. She started to cry.

Sonny: One thing led to -- led to another

Kate: What about me, the person you swore to love what about me? Did I even cross your mind?

Carly: Please don't leave without giving me a chance to explain.

Jax: Well, excuse me if I don't want to hear the details of the special bond that you share with Sonny.

Carly: We share a son in a coma.

Jax: Oh, please, don't you dare. Don't you dare use Michael as an excuse.

Carly: We had just put Michael in an aftercare facility for the rest of his life.

Jax: I don't want to hear it Carly, I don't want to hear it.

Carly: The pain was unbearable. And it just happened.

Anna: How is she?

Mac: One minute we're talking the next she's buckled over in pain. What the hell was she doing here in the first place? She should -- never should have been working in her condition.

Anna: It's a good thing she was here cause they knew what to do with her. They knew how to treat her.

Mac: She wouldn't have been all stressed out.

Anna: You know what, Mac? She works, because it keeps her mind occupied.

Mac: Not the job, Anna. Dealing with Patrick. You know having to justify for the hundredth time why she doesn't want to marry the guy. Even I was piling on. Why I let you people talk me into getting on board with them.

Anna: Don't you want her to be happy?

Mac: It's a disaster waiting to happen.

Anna: Yeah, well, love can sometimes be like that. But I think that she needs a partner in all of this, Mac. She needs somebody to be there to share all the good times and the bad times and just-- and -- and just, you know, when she wakes up in the morning after a sleepless night, "you look beautiful" even if her eyes are all puffy or whatever.

Mac: You've been brainwashed by Patrick.

Anna: I'm wrong about this?

Mac: Patrick makes some good points, but I'm a realist. I see past the smiles, all the hopeful upbeat talk about how wonderful and normal everything is when we know it's not.

Anna: Oh, Mac, I mean, the odds are excellent the baby won't have HIV.

Mac: You know, everyone keeps acting like if we wish real hard and pray real hard, it'll all be ok. I did all that when we found out about Stone, found that there was a chance Robin could be infected. I thought positive thoughts, I told myself the odds were on her side, but it didn't matter. I love Robin so much. I admire her, everything she's done with her life. I know Anna, I know that even though she refuses to talk about it, she's terrified that baby could have HIV. I don't know, maybe that's what brought on the early labor.

Robin: I'm glad you're here.

Patrick: Of course I'm here. If the baby going to come tonight, we're going her.

Robin: Yeah, you're right... [Robin breathes deeply]

Robin: Because I've been taking my meds religiously so there's a less than two percent chance that the baby can have HIV. And, if this is premature labor, then they can do a c-section. And that's fine that can work as well so, no matter what, it'll be fine.

Patrick: It'll be fine. There's only one thing missing.

Robin: What?

Patrick: A name for our little girl. If she's going to come out tonight, we need something better than "hey you."

Robin: Ok, what?

Patrick: Well I'm thinking Millicent. Milli for short.

Robin: Well, "hey you" is starting to sound really good.

Patrick: Yeah, maybe you're right.

Kelly: I have good news. You're not in labor. You're having Braxton- Hicks contractions.

Patrick: False alarm.

Kelly: This is perfectly normal. It's your body getting ready for the real thing.

Robin: Sure didn't feel like practice.

Patrick: Well, if they are more frequent and more intense. Braxton-hicks signals pre-labor. It's the softening and the thinning of the cervix.

Kelly: Someone's been doing his homework.

Patrick: Yeah well I figured if I knew what this was going into it, it would kind of lessen the stress and the anxiety part of it.

Kelly: Yeah, how's that working for you?

Patrick: It didn't work at all.

Kelly: Well there is nothing to panic about here. You're healthy, and as long as you relax and avoid unnecessary stress, you should carry to term.

Nikolas: I guess I'm a little confused as to how you got yourself thrown in jail for contempt in court.

Nadine: Baldwin's a jerk.

Nikolas: Yes, but doesn't that kind of go without saying? All you had to do was testify you found Logan's body on the sidewalk and you saw some car drive away, right?

Nadine: Yeah, well, he wasn't interested in the facts. He wanted me to say that I saw John Zacchara driving that car.

Nikolas: But you didn't

Nadine: I didn't.

Nikolas: That's all you had to say.

Nadine: Yeah, well, Baldwin's a lawyer, Nikolas. They don't just ask questions. They -- they frame them in this way so that if you don't answer them in the way that you want them to, you look guilty to the entire room, or at least suspect.

Nikolas: But if you didn't see the driver, and you didn't, what else was there to say?

Nadine: Well then it's like I might be lying

Nikolas: But why would you lie? Why would you protect a guy like John Zacchara?

Nadine: Because you're lulu's brother and I work for you and I'm a girl after all. And you are you, you are wealthy, handsome, available Nikolas Cassadine and why wouldn't I lie for you if you asked?

Nikolas: That's -- that's ridiculous.

Nadine: It's outrageous.

Nikolas: I would never try to influence your testimony.

Nadine: No, of course you wouldn't. And even if -- if you did, I would never -- I would never do that even if I were in love with you.

Sonny: When I was with Carly, if I had been thinking about you, I wouldn't have done it.

Kate: Oh... there's my answer. Carly overwhelms everything

Sonny: That's not true. I just found out that you had paid off Ian Devlin -

Kate: I paid off Ian Devlin to keep you from going to jail, to keep you from killing him so that you wouldn't throw your life away. But never mind, right? Because all you saw was betrayal. So you were under no obligation to be faithful.

Sonny: I'm not trying to justify or -- or -- or, you know, make an excuse for what I did. I'm just trying to tell you what happened. I was taking my -- my son, who in a coma and I put him in the institution. There was a lot of things going on at that time. Things were coming down on me. Carly and I, you know ---it like-- I hate what happened. And afterwards, you know, we -- we both knew it was a mistake. And true to form, like Carly, she -- right after, you know, she hands me this document to -- so I would sign over my kids.

Kate: Wait, Carly had sex with you so that you would sign over your kids?

Jax: I offered to take Michael to the institute with you, but you didn't want me there. So don't tell me that this was a spontaneous accident

Carly: Jax -

Jax: No, no, part of you knew that this was going to happen.

Carly: I swear to you, I didn't.

Jax: I can't believe it. I mean, you came home to me that night. I was so happy to see you. We made love. We had sex to be more accurate. Right? You went -- you went straight from Sonny to me. How could you do that to me?

Nadine: I certainly hope you don't think that I blurted out my feelings in the middle of an entire courtroom. Not that those are my feelings. I mean, I enjoy your company, but when I said the word "love," that was only hypothetical, which was all that it could be obviously. I was only trying to make a point.

Nikolas: Right, and what point would that be?

Nadine: That Scott Baldwin was wrong, of course. It is a tragedy that his son died and justice needs to be served, obviously. But he's not interested in justice. He's only out for revenge and he was just trying to use my testimony to get that.

Nikolas: Nadine, I believe you. I think you're right.

Nadine: I know I'm right and it makes me madder than a cut snake. And it is just not in me to stay quiet when I see that kind of injustice going on.

Nikolas: I know. It's one of the things I admire about you the most. But you have to learn how to make your point. I mean, when you go on the attack like that, people stop listening to you it gets you nothing.

Nadine: Yeah, well, thanks for the pep talk.

Nikolas: Oh, I'm not finished with you yet. Bye

Nadine: Bye.

Matt: I want full blood panels. Tell everyone to send me over a sample of the meds they're to go directly to the lab, no red tape. Possible poisonings for both of them. Get them both on IV's, normal saline, 500 cc bolus.

Lucky: I send a quad car over to Mercy and get those meds confiscated.

Matt: Get a list of everyone who took the meds.

Leyla: Full blood panels, please, directly to lab, no red Thanks

Luck y: Hey.

Sam: That is unbelievable. Who knows how many other people out there are taking counterfeit drugs?

Lucky: No, no, no. Its worst than that. Patients aren't just getting useless meds. They're being poisoned.

Jerry: Ms. Donev, these cold war theatrics are getting a bit much

Sasha: Well it wouldn't have been necessary if your brother hadn't gotten Mr. Karpov's visa revoked.

Jerry: I think my brother showed admirable restraint. You see if Carly was my wife, Mr. Karpov's visa would be the least of his problems. And if he keeps making advances to my sister-in-law, I think it might detract from our lucrative venture.

Sasha: Mr. Karpov's infatuation will not interfere with business.

Jerry: Spoken like a woman who's in charge, I like that.

Sasha: I hope you're bringing me good news.

Jerry: The doctor from the clinic, Matt Hunter -- he's on the trail of the counterfeit drugs and he thinks he has a lead.

Sasha: That would be the opposite of good news.

Jerry: Now here is the good one, you see they're many people associated with the clinic who might cause some difficulties. So the place is going to be the site of a very tragic and fatal accident.

Sasha: Oh.

Maxie: You have to come at thing from a position of strength like, if your magazine wants to do a layout with a hot new designer or a profile on a star, you don't actually say that. You just let them think that you are going to do them a favor.

Spinelli: Well, I fail to see the correlation between celebrity gossip and possibly inciting a mob war.

Maxie: It's the same principle. If a rival mobster's ice queen lawyer strolls in a business suit that's trying way too hard and starts throwing out veiled threats you have to back her down and by the way, anyone can shoot a gun. It takes real skill to pull off a negotiation.

Spinelli: Stone Cold is not as trigger happy as you may think.

[Phone rings]

Jason: Yeah! How long ago? No, I'm -- I'm going to handle it.

Spinelli: Are we going to the mattresses?

Jason: You are. Upstairs, you're going to take a nap. Let's go. Come on. Just get -- stand up. Get his pillows and blankets.

Maxie: You should say "please. It's polite.

Jason: Get his pillows and blankets

Maxie: Now that you have all this secret mob stuff to do, aren't you really glad that I'm here?

Kate: So Carly already had these papers in her purse, already drawn up by the lawyer.

Sonny: Yeah. And then after, you know, we -

Kate: After you had sex. Right, so she pulled them out of her purse and asked you to sign away your kids? Wow, I really didn't think I could like her any less.

Sonny: Ok, first of all, we were -- we were both wrong... when she pulled out those papers, I -- I was furious and I told her. I said, "You know what? You're using sex to get me give up my kids. But the truth is that, you know, the -- the sex came out of pain and grief and afterwards, we both regretted it. And I got to tell you, I felt like, for -- for the first time in a long time, I realize how destructive we are and the reason I didn't tell you... was because I didn't want to hurt you... It didn't matter, it still doesn't matter. Nothing's changed. You still want to marry me?

Carly: I regretted what happen with Sonny the second it was over. When I came home, I ran straight for the shower because I just wanted to wash it off me and make it go away and then, when I came out of the bathroom, you were there. And I needed you. I couldn't tell you what happened because I lost my oldest son. I couldn't lose you, too. So when you reached out to me, I held onto you, Jax, because you're my husband and I love you.

Jax: And afterwards you got out of bed and you left me sleeping, to do what? Did you go back to Sonny?

Carly: No, no, I went Jason because I felt guilty and I needed to talk to someone about it and I couldn't talk to you because I couldn't risk losing you.

Jax: Wow, all of this in a few hours. Let me ask you this. If you have gotten pregnant and Sonny was the father would you have ever told me?
