Woman: Walter, these are -- oh, I'm sorry. I didn't get your names.

Claudia: Claudia Zacchara and Jason Morgan.

Woman: Did you say Zacchara, as in -- Walter, Claudia and Jason would like to get married.

Sonny: Like I said, your mother is not here, but when she comes, I can --

Olivia: No, I'm here, I'm here. I'm right here. I got it. Hey, hey, Dante. No, no, no, I'm fine. I'm fine. [Olivia scoffs] Of course, he's here. He's Connie's fiancé. It -- uh, no. I -- I never told him about you.

image

Tracy: Not again, husband. Another pot of coffee over here, please. Up off the floor.

Luke: I thought we already left.

Tracy: No, not until you're capable of firing on all cylinders. Or two of them at least.

Luke: Here, give me a hand, Spanky.

Tracy: You know what? I draw the line at scraping you off the bar room floor. You can lie there until you are capable and sober enough to stand on your own. Or crawl.

Scott: You're not sorry that Logan died. You're sorry that your boyfriend Johnny was arrested.

Lulu: No, that is not true.

Scott: Logan -- he just cared about you. He was in love with you. You know, when you clubbed him and when he went into that coma, and when he came out, he made excuses for you. He would have never have hurt you. That night in question, nothing would have happened.

Lulu: No.

Scott: You stabbed him because you meant to stab him.

Lulu: No, no, you are wrong. That was an accident.

Scott: No, it's no accident that my son is dead. It's no accident that I don't get to have him around anymore, Lulu, that I don't get to watch him fall in love with somebody and have a family and have some kids. That's not going to happen because he's in the ground right now. And do you know why he's there? Because you put him there, so you are going to pay for that. There is going to be justice, and you will get a lethal injection. And that's what going to hap --

Laura: Not my daughter, you son of a bitch!

Scott: Laura.

Lulu: Mom. Mom, you're awake.

Lulu: Mom, are you here? The last time that you woke up I thought that I imagined it.

Laura: I'm here.

Scott: Laura, the doctors -- they said there was no hope.

Laura: So you thought you could bully my daughter right in front of me and that I would never even know about it?

Scott: Well, she's not innocent.

Laura: She's my daughter. How could you? How could you threaten my child?

image

Luke: Okay, let's go. We haven't got time to waste. Let's get moving. Come on, let's --

Tracy: Sit down.

Luke: What's this about? What's that for?

Tracy: I am not going to watch you stagger two steps and keel over again. I want you to sit there, sober up, and think of a strategy.

Luke: I had a strategy. We go, we save Lulu, and we stomp Baldwin like a cockroach.

Tracy: You're not going to be able to do any of that if you get arrested for money laundering. We have to wait for Daddy to call.

Luke: Oh, this is ridiculous. Waiting for you father to call is like waiting for the Easter bunny to come down the Christmas chimney. It's a fantasy.

Tracy: I'll handle Daddy. You handle Lulu.

image

Nikolas: Sorry to keep you waiting. Alfred said you needed to see me.

Lucky: Yeah, it's Sam. She's been arrested.

Nikolas: Does Alexis know yet?

Lucky: Yeah, Alexis was in the apartment at the time. She won't post bail, and I don't have the money.

Nikolas: No, it's fine. I'll take care of that, just tell me what happened.

Lucky: Sam has seen Karpov with Jerry Jacks. She believes they're working together.

Nikolas: But why did she get arrested?

Lucky: Jerry framed her while she was trying to seduce him.

image

Olivia: No, I'm in the middle of a crowded hospital, Dante. I'm not in any danger. No, I'm fine. I know. I know. No, no, no, honey. I don't want you coming up here. I told you. I'm fine. I love you, too. Okay. Bye.

Sonny: You have a son?

Olivia: Sweet detective work.

Sonny: Why didn't -- why didn't you tell me?

Olivia: Any particular reason I should have?

Sonny: Um, well, I mean, we talk about a lot of things. You know, the past in Bensonhurst and, you know, our lives today. Children are important. What do you mean, why wouldn't you tell me?

Olivia: Well, the important thing was Connie's wedding, which was why I came to town.

Sonny: Why didn't you bring your son to the wedding?

Olivia: He didn't know anybody up here. He would have been bored out of his mind.

Sonny: Well, he's probably worried about you because, you know, after what happened with Kate.

Olivia: Well, luckily, I'm not planning on marrying you anytime soon, so I don't expect anyone to be shooting at me.

Sonny: Why don't you reassure the kid, have him come visit? I'd like to meet him.

image

Walter: The marriage certificate will be filed at the county courthouse tomorrow, but we'll be happy to furnish you a copy tonight for your records.

Claudia: Fine.

Walter: Unless you'd prefer to have it mailed.

Claudia: We'll take it to go.

Walter: Very well. Before we start the ceremony, I'd like to ask --

Claudia: We don't want a ceremony. We just want it quick and easy, painless as possible.

Walter: Certainly. Dearly beloved, we are --

Claudia: Do you have any money? Thanks. Okay, the faster you go, the bigger the bonus. Okay? Let's move it along.

Walter: My dear young lady, this is not a business transaction. You and this man are pledging your hearts to one another.

Claudia: We don't want anything about love. Just go right to the vows.

Walter: I see.

Claudia: Okay.

Walter: Please join hands. I can't marry two people who refuse to even touch each other.

Claudia: Okay, fine.

[Jason sighs]

Claudia: Move it along.

Walter: Do you, Claudia Antonia, take this man to be your husband, to honor and to --

Woman: Hmm.

Walter: Honor, for better or worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, until parted by death?

image

Laura: You attacked my daughter in court. You -- you forced her to testify. How could you do that?

Scott: No, no, Laura, she wanted to testify.

Laura: I wanted to tell the truth, but you wanted Johnny sentenced to death.

Scott: That's because I thought that he killed my son. Now, I found out that your daughter did.

Laura: She acted in self-defense.

Scott: No, no, that's not true. My -- my son loved her. He would never, ever hurt her.

Laura: Your son was a very disturbed young man who made her life miserable.

Scott: No, that's not true. That's her version. She -- she attacked him twice. First time, she put him in a coma. The second time, she killed him.

Laura: And now you want revenge.

Scott: No, I just don't think that she should be able to just walk out of her, Laura, as free as a bird for killing my son.

Laura: You're so angry. Have you lost all your compassion?

Scott: No, I haven't, but do you think I should just let her go free because she's your daughter?

image

Nikolas: You're sure that Sam was trying to seduce Jerry?

Lucky: Sam thought she could work Jerry to get information.

Nikolas: Oh, well, you know, I've had my own dealings with Jerry. The guy's a master of manipulation. Sam's playing a dangerous game there.

Lucky: Yeah, and I told her that, but she insisted she could handle Jerry. While they were kissing, Alexis -- she walked in.

Nikolas: Well, you know Alexis -- she's been seeing Jerry, right?

Lucky: Yeah.

Nikolas: Which has been a serious point of contention between us, but she must have been upset about it.

Lucky: Well, Jerry claimed that he was only working Sam to see how far she would go.

Nikolas: Well, don't believe him.

Lucky: Jerry is a psychopath. Sam would have slept with him to get information. I mean, how do I get past that?

image

Sam: Oh, you've got to be --

Jerry: Sweet Sam. Aw. See, I took the liberty of bringing some chocolates. They're Belgian. Very good.

Sam: I don't want them.

Jerry: Don't worry. They've been inspected by the police, and they're declared safe for consumption.

Sam: Jerry, why are you here?

Jerry: Well, I came here to apologize.

[Sam laughs]

Sam: That's funny. Oh, for framing me. Yeah, I don't think "I'm sorry" even begins to cut it.

Jerry: Well, you know, we do what we can.

Sam: What's your angle?

Jerry: There's no angle. I'm genuinely sorry for turning the tables on you. I really am. I'm actually quite impressed. I mean, your efforts to prove that I was a drug smuggler were very nearly successful.

Sam: Well, if you're so impressed, why don't you turn yourself in?

Jerry: Oh, then I would have to go to prison and that would be a dreary prospect indeed.

Sam: Oh, yes, so why don't you just what, leave me there instead?

Jerry: I have a better idea. Do you subscribe to the maxim, "If you can't beat them, join them?"

image

Walter: There appears to be some difficulty.

Claudia: I told you, we don't want the hearts and flowers. Just ask if we want to be married.

Walter: Do you?

Claudia: Ask him first.

image

Olivia: The Falconeris got no use for you, Sonny. Dante is no exception.

Sonny: He doesn't even know me.

Olivia: What -- we live in Bensonhurst. It's not the other side of Mars. You think we don't read the papers? You think we don't hear the legend about the boy from the neighborhood who turned into a major mobster? We see about the indictments and the trials and horrible tragedies. Plus, you still got some delightful associates keeping your legend alive in the neighborhood. Connie. What are the doctors doing? Giving her an all-day body scan or what?

Sonny: So is your son working or is he in college? What --

Olivia: Can we change the subject?

Sonny: Can I ask you a few questions without you getting all uptight?

Olivia: I don't feel like talking about my kid right now. Is that all right?

Sonny: Wow. Does Kate know about your son?

Olivia: Yeah.

Sonny: Yeah?

Olivia: Yeah.

Sonny: How come she never said anything to me?

image

Luke: Why do I have to drink this rotgut and you don't?

Tracy: I'm sober. You're not.

Luke: I hate it when that happens. Ew, ew! Enough. Enough. If I drink any more, I'll be so wired I'll have to grind your teeth.

Tracy: First, you're going to tell me what you plan to do for Lulu.

Luke: I don't rehearse what I what I say to my kids, I just spit out the truth.

Tracy: Luke, you haven't seen Lulu in months. She's very fragile. I don't think it's a good idea to give her a big dose of honesty.

Luke: All right. Well, then, I will remind her that she's a Spencer. And I will tell her that there's no way what happened to Laura will happen to her because she's a survivor.

Tracy: That's what you're going to tell her?

Luke: To the last vowel.

Tracy: A big bottle of tequila over here, please. Immedium -

Bartender: Immediatemente.

Tracy: In media -

Bartender: Im-me-di-a-da --

Tracy: Da -

Bartender: Mente.

Tracy: Mente, thank you.

Luke: Your Spanish is getting good, don't you think?

Tracy: Okay.

Luke: What's this about?

Tracy: Drink up. Because if that little speech is the best you can do, you are more useful to Lulu lying in a stupor on the bar room floor.

image

Scott: I didn't even know about Logan until he was an adult. I went to Texas. I was very confused. I took up with his mother. After a couple of months, I knew it was a mistake. And I left. She sent me all these letters. I never read them.

Laura: I'm sure you feel very guilty about that now. But you cant make amends for that by punishing my daughter.

Scott: By the time I met Logan, he was already in love with Lulu. I tried to talk him out it. Told him it probably wouldn't end well. And it didn't. She hooked up with another guy, a criminal. Sound familiar? And then she started playing one against the other.

Lulu: That is not what happened. I never meant to hurt Logan. I swear.

Laura: Shh. It's all right. You were confused. It's all right. Just like I was confused all those years ago. I was so torn between you and Luke. I had really strong feelings for Luke, but that doesn't mean that I stopped caring about you.

Scott: Well, you know, Logan wanted to get a second chance with Lulu. And he kept at it, and I understood what he was going through because I went through the same thing myself with you. The difference is, though, you didn't kill me. She killed my son. She's got to pay.

Laura: Then why shouldn't you pay for killing my stepfather?

image

Sam: All right. Say I do go along with your plan, who would be joining who?

Jerry: Well, you would be joining me. I don't see any benefit in it being the other way around, since you are sitting in jail under the suspicion of drug trafficking.

Sam: Okay. Well, how do you intend to get me out of here?

Jerry: We'll wait for some of your loyal friends or relatives to post bail for you.

Sam: Well, we can count my mother out of that. And I don't have any friends, so --

Jerry: Well, there's no denying Alexis is understandably impatient about you at the moment, but I have no doubt that Nikolas will probably oblige, nobleman that he is.

Sam: Okay, all right, fine. Say I do get out on bail, then what?

Jerry: Well, then you and I strike an independent partnership that allows us to cut Andrei Karpov out and walk away with a huge profit.

Sam: Oh, I mean, I could -- that does sound intriguing.

Jerry: Doesn't it?

Sam: What's the catch?

Jerry: You see, that's what I enjoy so much about you. You're skeptical. Always wanting to know what's behind the curtain to see what's really there. We're very much alike in a way.

[Sam laughs]

Jerry: You know, when you're playing me, sometimes I feel as if I'm looking into a mirror.

Sam: Well, that's a frightening thought.

[Jerry laughs]

Jerry: So what do you think of my offer?

Sam: Well, I am always up for a risk. And you are definitely a risk.

Lucky: I came to see if you needed any help, but it looks like you already got it.
