Monday, August 11, 2008 Part 1 (Thank you, MegaSite)
[Lulu screams]
Lulu: No! No! Stay away from me! Stay away from me! Don't come near me! No! No!
Johnny: Lulu, it's ok. It's me. It's johnny.
[Lulu yelps]
Johnny: I'm not going to hurt you.
[Lulu cries]
Johnny: I will not hurt you, ever.
Johnny: It's ok, you're safe. Come here. Come here.
Nikolas: Ok, ok, listen. I think -- I think you're wonderful and I -- I care about you, and I respect everything that you've done --
Nadine: Ok, stop right there. Before you launch into some painfully polite "I like you as a friend" speech, you should know right now that I am not going to stand here and listen to it.
Sonny: Don't make the mistake of threatening me.
Karpov: I am asking you to be reasonable. Honor the terms of our deal and no one has to lose.
Claudia: Can I get a little room here, please? Single shot coming from a sniper rifle. Maybe there's only one of them.
Carly: Wow, you sound so sure of yourself. How do we know you didn't set this whole ambush up?
[Gunshot]
Claudia: Yeah, carly, I jumped in with you guys so we could all get shot.
Jason: Both of you shut up.
[Lulu panting]
Johnny: What happened?
Lulu: I thought you were logan.
Johnny: It's ok.
Lulu: This was not a trick of the eye. I heard you coming towards me and I opened my eyes and it was logan coming towards me with a birthday cake. He was bloody and the candles were lighting his face and i had a full-blown hallucination. I don't know why this is happening to me. I want this to stop.
Johnny: It will. Just give it time.
Lulu: It's been weeks since i killed logan. I know you think that this is some sort of post-traumatic stress thing, but I'm thinking that I'm starting to go crazy.
Johnny: Don't say that.
Lulu: No, it's true. I'm afraid I'm losing my mind.
Nadine: I kissed you right out of the blue. That was insanely inappropriate and you have every right to tell me so.
Nikolas: Nadine, I don't want to hurt your feelings. I just --
Nadine: Of course you don't, because you're prince courteous and, no matter what you do, your good manners come popping out like a jack-in-the-box.
Nikolas: Don't -- come on. I was actually flattered that you kissed me. I really was.
Nadine: But you wouldn't want to repeat it.
Nikolas: It's not that. I just -- I value our friendship --
Nadine: Ah, yes, the friendship speech. I'm sure you'll segue into talking about emily and how you love her and you always will. No, look, her death was heartbreaking and I do -- I feel awful that you went through that. But part of me wants to wring your neck for staying closed off to the possibilities. When are you going to look around and start smelling the roses?
Nikolas: I --
Nadine: No, I'm sorry. I need to accept that this is where you are and -- and you're not going to change until you're good and ready, which may be never. So on that note, I --
Nikolas: Look, I'm sorry -- I didn't mean to --
Nadine: No, no, please, do not apologize for me making a total fool of myself. And don't you dare look at me in that brotherly way and speak oh-so-kindly so I won't get hurt.
Nikolas: I just -- I don't want to mislead you. Understand?
Nadine: You haven'T. This is all me. I play out these little fantasies in my head because, obviously, I'm attracted to you. So I kissed you just once to see what it felt like. But it doesn't really work when it's just one way. So don't worry. It won't happen again. In fact, why don't we just forget I was ever here? Oh, good, humiliation complete.
Nikolas: Wow, I'm not sure what just happened.
Elizabeth: Well, I am. It's been a long time coming.
Nikolas: What?
Elizabeth: Nikolas, don't you know nadine is falling in love with you?
Maxie: Allow me to introduce myself. I'm maxie jones, the police commissioner's daughter, and this person you are terrorizing is my boyfriend. Do you think you could tell your gorillas to let him go, unless you would like me to call my father so that he can file an assault report along with crimes of fashion. Did either of you glance in the mirror before you left the house this morning?
Sasha: [Speaks russian]
Maxie: You ok?
Spinelli: The only injury sustained is to my pride.
Sasha: I'm curious. What's the police commissioner's daughter doing in a warehouse in the middle of the night?
Maxie: Isn't it obvious?
Sasha: If it were, I wouldn't have asked.
Maxie: Sex. Hot, crazy sex. The kind you can only have against a warehouse wall in the moonlight.
[Sasha laughs]
Sasha: Not with him.
Maxie: Fine, don't take my word for it.
Sasha: I'm impressed and astonished by your intensity. Enjoy.
Sonny: I have no intention of losing anything.
Karpov: Then we'll renegotiate.
Sonny: There's nothing to negotiate. I offered to connect you. I said no drugs.
Karpov: I'm a businessman. Drugs turn the biggest profit.
Sonny: I don't care. Move them somewhere else. Get out of port charles, karpov, before you're overextended.
[Karpov chuckles]
Karpov: I like it here.
Sonny: All right, you were protected when I was advising you. Now you're not. Be smart. Know when to fold.
Karpov: Don't look back on this night and wish you had made a wiser choice. Honor our deal and you'll protect what you value. Go back on your word and you'll regret it.
Carly: Did he stop shooting?
Claudia: He's waiting for a clean shot.
Carly: He missed. Why is he going to wait around for jason to shoot back?
Claudia: Why don't you go out there and see if he's waiting to take another shot?
Jason: Both of you be quiet.
Jason: Carly, you got to stay down.
Carly: We have to find out who we're dealing with here, jason.
Claudia: How about you do what you're told before you get yourself killed?
Jason: Hey, listen to me. Listen. I'm going to start firing. When I do, you two run for the alley.
Carly: No way. No way. We all stay or we all go. I'm not leaving you.
Johnny: I'm here, lulu. You're not in this by yourself.
Lulu: My mom wasn't by herself. My dad was with her, loving her. But it didn't matter. She still lost her grip on reality.
Johnny: It won't happen to you.
Lulu: My mom is sitting in a rocking chair, staring at a wall. And I've tried to convince myself that she's in some kind of peaceful limbo. But what if she's not? What if she is screaming inside? I would rather die.
Johnny: You're not going to die. And you're not going crazy.
Lulu: I'm having hallucinations. What if this is the start? What if I'm getting worse?
Johnny: Logan broke down the door with the xe and attacked you. You were terrified and now you're just dealing with what happened. It's post-traumatic stress.
Lulu: I stabbed him to death.
Johnny: You had no choice. You're upset that you killed another human being because you're an ethical person. That's a good thing. I'd be hell of a lot more worried if you felt no remorse at all.
Lulu: It's more than remorse. I'm falling apart. It's like my mom.
Johnny: No, you're not.
Lulu: Everybody says that I'm exactly like her, and it's true.
Elizabeth: I came over here today because it's lulu's birthday and I know you're worried about her. So if you need a listening ear --
Nikolas: I just -- liz, I just want to do something about it, anything. But I -- but I feel like my hands are tied. So what do I do? I just sit around here and wait for a phone call that says john and lulu are captured or shot or god knows what else. I just -- I want to know what's going on inside her head. Is she scared? Is she lonely? Is she --
Elizabeth: She's resilient.
Nikolas: Yeah, but this -- this john kid is a loose canon.
Elizabeth: Who happens to be devoted to her.
Nikolas: Then why is he risking her life? Why doesn't he just let her go?
Elizabeth: Maybe she won't let him.
Elizabeth: It's hard to let go of someone you love.
Nikolas: If emily were here, she'd be trying to talk me down the same way you are. It's crisis like this that makes me miss her even more.
Elizabeth: You don't have to explain.
Nikolas: Maybe I need to explain it to myself. I've been so blinded lately by thoughts of emily that I haven't seen -- well, maybe I didn't want to see what's been happening with nadine.
Sonny: I've dealt with a lot of competitors, a lot of takeover attempts. I know a bluff when I see one.
Karpov: I never bluff. But perhaps you do.
Sonny: I don't want any trouble. I'm not here to undermine the connections I made on your behalf. Let's just end this peacefully. I walk away. You don't lose anything.
Karpov: I'm a bad man to double-cross. One of these days, you'll find out why.
Carly: It's been a long time since he fired.
Claudia: He -- snipers will wait days for a clean shot. Days, ok?
Jason: Hey, pay attention, ok? On the count of three, we're going to run for the alley.
Carly: Jason. Ok.
Claudia: No, not ok. Well, she might have blind faith in you, but I do not.
Jason: You got a better plan?
Claudia: No.
Jason: One... two... three.
Carly: Jason?
Nikolas: I don't know, liz. Nadine, she's -- she's a sweet girl. She's quirky. She's --
Elizabeth: Beautiful.
Nikolas: Hey, don't get me wrong. I'm attracted to her. I could take her out on some casual dates, but that's as far as it could go for me.
Elizabeth: how do you know that?
Nikolas: Because I'm still in love with emily. I can't imagine that that's ever going to change. Look, if I - - if I get involved with nadine now, i basically would be using her to get over my grief, and that's not fair to her.
Elizabeth: You know, when i thought lucky had died, god, i was -- it was so devastating because I loved him so completely. I never thought that I could ever feel that way again, you know?
Nikolas: Until jason.
Elizabeth: And at first, I just thought that he was someone who could understand how much i missed lucky. And then jason and I got closer and I started to trust him and confide in him and --
Nikolas: Fall in love with him.
Elizabeth: Yeah. But it took me years to realize it. And when I finally did, it was too late. I hurt a lot of people along the way, especially lucky, because I wasn't honest with myself. So that is my advice to you. You need to be truthful about what you feel.
Nikolas: I don't know if I want to feel anything.
Elizabeth: Nikolas, emily would not want you spending the rest of your life being faithful to her memory.
Nikolas: I know. You're right.
Elizabeth: I miss her, too. So we're just going to have to help each other through it, ok?
Nikolas: Ok. Thank you for being her friend, and mine.
Elizabeth: Of course.
Kate: Hi. Look, nothing in my hands, nothing up my sleeves.
[Sonny chuckles]
Kate: No bouquets, nothing to pester you with.
Sonny: I was going to call you.
Kate: How'd it go with your father?
Sonny: Well, you know, I'm never -- as you know, I've never been that close to my father. But I've gotten to a place where I can listen to him without getting angry. I just don't get a lot of what he says.
Kate: Like what?
Sonny: Well, mike says that, you know, he thinks addiction might run in the family and, you know, he -- he pulled out of gambling so many times, but he always got pulled back in. He thinks that that's going to happen to me, and I'm going to miss the power and eventually go back.
Kate: I know it's been a struggle for you --
Sonny: Ok, you need to know... yes, I do think about, you know, what my life would've been like if I didn't get into the mob. But, you know, it -- it gave me a lot. Money, you know, power, and being able to tell people what to do, what not to do, right?
Kate: You still have your business.
Sonny: And I know I do and it's great -- the business is great, but I don't have the power base. I have to follow rules. You know, before, when I used to, like... when I used to -- when somebody upset me or something, get me mad, I'd -- I'd be able to, you know... get rid of them. Now I have limits.
Kate: Change is hard.
Sonny: Yeah. Yeah, and it -- you know -- but I understand change is hard. That's not what I'm saying. I -- it cost -- that life cost me a lot and I lost too many people. And I'm not going to lose you, ok? Ok?
Kate: Mm-hm. I'm going to remind you of those words.
Sonny: You don't have to remind me because you mean everything to me, and I'm going to spend the rest of my life proving that to you.
Kate: Ok, but I have a question for you, and I need you to be honest with me.
Maxie: Ok, I'm sorry.
Spinelli: Maximista has nothing to regret. It was her quick thinking and convincing lies that saved the jackal from extinction.
Maxie: I know you were embarrassed when I told that lady and her crazy thugs that story about us having sex in the warehouse, but I didn't know what else to say.
Spinelli: No, you're misinterpreting what I'm --
Maxie: And to make matters worse, I trampled all over your feelings, and I've been making that a habit lately. Here you are, my very best friend, and I keep taking physical advantage. Well, I'm telling you right now, I'm going to much more thoughtful about that.
Spinelli: You know what? It's your thoughtfulness towards the jackal --
Maxie: It's just that I know you don't like it when I make up stories about us having sex in weird places like the morgue or your hospital room or a warehouse, but I can't help it. It's the first thing that comes to my mind, and it's probably because people believe it. And then they get embarrassed, and then they leave, and then we're saved.
Spinelli: Therein lies the sad irony --
Maxie: When I saw those animals about to pounce on you --
Spinelli: When, oh, when will the jackal be able to rescue fair maximista instead of the one always being rescued?
Jason: It's all clear.
Carly: Thank god you're ok.
Jason: I'm ok, I'm ok.
Claudia: You took a big risk there. If the sniper had stayed he could've -- he could've dropped you.
Carly: You disappointed about that?
Claudia: You know, let me just remind you, I'm the one who called out the warning shot, ok? So if anybody wants to throw a thank you my way --
Carly: Your timing was a little too perfect. How do we know you didn't set this whole thing up?
Claudia: Oh, yeah, because being in the line of fire is so much fun, isn't it?
Carly: You stayed behind the crates. You made sure you weren't hit.
Claudia: Ok, you know what? I admit it. I set the whole thing up because I wanted jason dead. Oh, but why didn't I let the sniper drop him?
Jason: What were you doing here?
Claudia: Johnny took the mayor's car, and he left it down here when he took off with lulu, and I keep thinking that maybe they're hiding out down in the warehouse district. Hey, if you don't believe me, you think I'm lying, then get rid of me. I'm sure carly would be happy to be your alibi.
Carly: I hate to say it, but i believe her. I think karpov was behind this.
Jason: Whoever it was, you -- you could be dead by now.
Carly: But I'm not dead, I'm --
Jason: Why don't you listen to me?
Carly: I was following a lead, jason.
Jason: No, you got the information off karpov's pda, then you lied to me --
Carly: I didn't lie to you.
Jason: You could be dead right now! You always say you're worried about losing me. It goes both ways. Come on, let's go.
[Telephone rings]
Claudia: Hello?
Johnny: Hey, it's me. I can't talk long.
Claudia: Johnny, my god, I've been worried sick about you. Are you ok?
Johnny: Yeah, I'm fine. I need you to do something for me.
Claudia: Ok.
Johnny: Call lulu's brother nikolas. Find out what their mother's breakdown was like and if lulu has ever suffered hallucinations.
Claudia: Lulu is hallucinating?
Johnny: I can't get into it right now. Just please do this one thing for me. All right, I got to go. I'll be in touch.
Johnny: Did you draw your bathwater? Do you see logan or me?
Lulu: You. But logan will be back.
Johnny: Don't be scared, ok? I'll take care of you. I promise.
