Laura: Don't you want me to make a wish?

Scott: Well, since you've missed again, I'm going to add a wish to it. You see, when we were kids, anytime we did anything together we always accomplished it.

[Splash]

Laura: Now what?

Scott: We wait for our wishes to come true.

Laura: Scotty, it's not going to happen. I'm not going to fall in love with you again. I will always care about you because of what we were to each other, but I can't fall in love with you again, because my heart belongs to Luke.

Scott: Oh, you know what? Don't -- don't say his name and ruin my time right now.

Laura: Well, not saying his name isn't going to change how I feel. I married him. I had his kids. Then I married him again. He's my husband. I'm his wife, and my only wish is for him.

Scott: Listen, I'm going to tell you something, and you're probably not going to believe me, but Luke is married to Tracy Quartermaine now.

image

Kelly: You can see the pattern. The dips in the baby's heart rate during your contractions indicate the umbilical cord is being compromised.

Patrick: Shouldn't we just go straight for a C-section now?

Kelly: I'm going to try an amnioinfusion first. We're going to try and float the cord into a better position.

Spinelli: Maxie.

Maxie: Spinelli, oh, my God. I'm so glad you're here. Tell me everything's going to be okay.

Spinelli: I'm slightly confused. I mean, while the wedding disruption is slightly disappointing, I mean, impending birth is cause for celebration. Yes?

Maxie: Oh, of course. I know no one's really talking about it, but I'm just worried that Robin's baby might be born with HIV.

Mac: Yeah, no matter how many ways I say it, I can't help thinking of all the things that could possibly go wrong. I feel as if I'm living in denial.

Anna: Well, not me. I refuse to dwell on the bad until I absolutely have to.

Mac: I hate to break this to you, but that's the definition of denial.

Anna: Mac, every single staff member here is aware of Robin's HIV status, and they will take every precaution to make sure that there's no blood-on-blood contact with the baby, and she couldn't be in better hands. Just stop it.

image

Matt: Can someone please tell me where they put Dr. Scorpio?

Leyla: She's in trauma two, but there's no news yet. Aren't you supposed to be upstairs?

Matt: I switched with Santos.

Leyla: So you could be close to your niece when she's born.

Matt: Well, let's just say I'm an interested observer.

Leyla: Okay.

image

Tracy: Okay, so here we are in the hotel that you believe Scott brought Laura to. Got a plan?

Scott: Going to break into his room.

Tracy: Be my guest.

Scott: Are you bailing on me?

[Tracy laughs]

Tracy: If you need a chambermaid or a masseuse or a room service waiter, you're on your own. You want to call that bailing, fine. I call it self-preservation.

Scott: Okay, I'll do it myself. Just ring his room and hang up after the first ring if he comes back into the hotel. Can you do that for me?

Tracy: Yes, I can, but why would I? In fact, I think I should go home to Port Charles and leave you to rescue your damsel in distress all by your lonesome.

image

Laura: Up until now this has been a very nice little walk down memory lane, so don't ruin it with lies.

Scott: Laura, I'm not lying to you. This is the truth.

Laura: Tracy Quartermaine? Come on. That doesn't even make sense.

Scott: I know. It took everybody by surprise in the town. They've been married for years. One day Tracy and Luke went to Vegas. They got drunk, and they woke up married.

Laura: Drunk?

Scott: Well, it was really about money. He wanted some. She had it.

Scott: So while he was swearing his undying love to you, he was married to Tracy Quartermaine.

Laura: No, he would have told me that.

Scott: He didn't know how long your recovery time was going to be. You know Luke. If he can have his cake and eat it, too.

Laura: But we were married by a minister. There's --

Scott: It was an actor, and he was playing the part of a minister. Laura, listen. Pick up the phone, call anybody in Port Charles, and they will tell you that Tracy is Mrs. Luke Spencer.

image

Sonny: No way in hell am I going to marry you, Claudia. I mean, it's just not even --

Claudia: Why are you here then?

Sonny: Well, because he's sick, right, your dad? He needs to, you know, have somebody step in and run the family, and I want to do that for him.

Johnny: That's one hell of a sacrifice you're willing to make.

Sonny: As soon as your dad's medical condition leaks out, everybody is going to know that the organization is vulnerable. If I step in, the perception is much better.

Johnny: I can take care of my family just fine.

Sonny: No, you're not ready, Johnny, to run things.

Johnny: This is not the time or the place to have this conversation. And he is in no condition to talk business.

Anthony: I can speak for myself. You want the Zaccharas, you marry Claudia.

Sonny: No deal.

Johnny: Okay, there is no way in hell that I'm going to let her marry that.

Claudia: Okay, don't -- don't argue with Daddy, Johnny. He's not in any condition for this.

Johnny: Oh, you mean to tell me that you would go through with this? Sell yourself to Corinthos?

Claudia: I don't like it, but I understand why it needs to be done.

Anthony: Trust me. This is all for your benefit.

image

Sonny: Excuse me.

Nadine: How can I help you, Mr. Corinthos?

Sonny: Just -- I need to ask a question. Is Anthony Zacchara doing as well as he seems to be?

Nadine: He is expected to make a full recovery, but you'd have to talk to his doctor and his family for specifics.

Sonny: Yeah, yeah, of course. That's exactly what I'm going to do. Thank you.

Nadine: Mm-hmm.

Man: Mr. Karpov wants a meeting.

image

Sam: Hey, Matt, hi. Nadine said I should talk to you about the clinic fire.

Matt: I'm recovering nicely, yes. Thank you for asking.

Sam: Oh, look, I'm sorry. I'm glad that you're doing good. I was just -- is there anything that you remember at all before you passed out? Anything.

Matt: Anything?

Sam: Anything.

Matt: There was someone who was standing by me, a man.

Sam: Any detail please.

Matt: He was wearing a pair of distinctive-looking shoes. Nadine mentioned it was something that Jerry Jax might wear. I don't know. You know Nadine.

image

Elizabeth: Hey.

Maxie: Elizabeth, how is Robin? What's going on?

Elizabeth: There are some complications.

image

[Cell phone ringing]

Sam: Hello?

Jerry: Sweet Sam. We should meet up.

Sam: Okay, fine, just tell me where.

image

Elizabeth: Dr. Lee is concerned with the position of the baby's umbilical cord, so what we do now is try to reposition it.

Maxie: Well, what if you can't? Then what happens?

Anna: Hey, Maxie, shh.

Kelly: By pumping IV fluids into the uterine cavity, we can cushion the cord. That way when the contractions squeeze the cord, it will keep the baby's blood supply steady. What you can do, Patrick, is help Robin change positions frequently so we can float the cord into a better position.

image

Nikolas: Okay, thank you.

Lucky: Okay, so Scott is registered at the Truman hotel in Hollywood. I have a car waiting to take us there as soon as we land.

Nikolas: Great, so now we just got to figure out how to get her away from him.

Lulu: I have a feeling that Scott will do whatever Mom wants.

Lucky: Are you really buying into what Mom wrote in that memory book?

Lulu: All I'm saying is that Scott was not always a bad guy.

Lucky: You can't ignore what Baldwin has become.

Nikolas: Look, I -- I think she's right. At one point I'm sure they were very happy until Luke blew up their relationship.

Lulu: Look, Lucky, the memory book stops when Mom went to work for dad at the Campus Disco. It doesn't say anything else, but you know that she was attracted to Dad even though she was married to Scott, and things blew up. That's not Scott's fault.

Lucky: Are you really taking his side?

Nikolas: Look, it's --

Lulu: I am just saying not everyone's all good or all bad. It's a little more complicated than that.

Lucky: Whatever it was, it happened years ago.

Nikolas: Maybe so, but it's not over, okay? It's not over by a long shot.

image

Edward: Yes, dear, I'm sorry, but Luke and Tracy have been married for three years. Is there anything you need, something that I could help you with?

Laura: That's very kind of you, Edward. No, I'm going to be just fine, thank you, and thank you for your honesty. Good night.

Scott: Laura, I'm really, really sorry.

Laura: No, you're not. You're thrilled to death, aren't you? Now you have your proof that Luke isn't worthy of me.

Scott: I don't blame Luke for marrying Tracy. I blame him for letting you make a commitment to him when that wedding and those vows -- they were just a scam.

Laura: I want to go back to the hotel now.

image

Sam: Jerry?

image

Sonny: You're making a mistake.

Karpov: The mistake was yours, and you repaid my generosity by trying to shoot me.

Sonny: If you're going to shoot me and kill me, at least admit that you shot Kate. After that, I don't care what you do.

image

[Robin groans]

Kelly: I want an O.R. prepped and standing by. How long? Okay, notify me as soon as an O.R. comes available. Thanks. They're overbooked upstairs. I'm going to go try and clear a room just in case we need to do C-section. I'll be back, okay?

Robin: Okay. Hey, guess what?

Patrick: What?

Robin: Labor -- it really -- it really hurts.

Patrick: Yeah?

Robin: Yeah, it -- you know, all the things that I thought could go wrong, a compromised umbilical cord wasn't one of them, but I just have to tell myself everything's okay, you're here, our baby's going to be okay.

Patrick: Yeah, we're going to be all right. We love each other, we love this baby, and we believe in our staff, okay?

Robin: Yeah.

Patrick: It's going to be okay.

Robin: Oh, oh, here comes another one.

Patrick: Okay, just breathe. Try and breathe.

[Robin groans]

image

Maxie: Robin looked so beautiful, and everything was perfect, just like I promised her it would be. She didn't even get to throw her bouquet.

Spinelli: The Jackal had intended to make a presentation after the wedding, but now seems as good a time as any. Happy Birthday.

Maxie: That's so sweet.

Spinelli: While Patrick and Robin's impending parenthood is cause for celebration, nothing should detract from the anniversary of Maximista's entry into this world.

Maxie: Oh, it's a journal. I'm not really good at writing in these things, but -- Spinelli, did you do all this yourself?

Spinelli: The Jackal was inspired by fair Maximista to trace the echo of beauty throughout the history of art and man.

Maxie: Inspired by me?

Spinelli: It has all my favorite artists -- Caravaggio, Botticelli. Cellini was their equal in the art of sculpture, and knowing that fair Maximista has a love for music, but not knowing whether or not she's experienced the romantic classics of Strauss, Vivaldi, Stravinsky --

Maxie: You really have to be a genius to know about all this stuff.

Spinelli: Well, I don't know about that, but they do say that every genius has a muse, and if so, if what you say is true, then I owe a huge debt to my inspiration. I mean, it was just my great desire to share my knowledge of beauty with she who honors me with her friendship.

Maxie: Thank you so much. You know exactly how to make me feel special.

image

Elizabeth: Okay, the baby is experiencing a deceleration in her heart rate every time Robin has a contraction.

Anna: Well, what do we do?

Mac: Can she do a C-section?

Elizabeth: There are risks with having a cesarean, and there's a chance the umbilical cord may be wrapped around her neck.

Anna: Oh, God.

image

Patrick: Okay, okay, okay.

Robin: Oh, oh! Aah!

image

Anna: Oh, God. I refuse to believe that all that Robin has been through in her life that something could happen to her baby.

Mac: If Robin ever needed our love and courage, now is the time.

image

Maxie: Sometimes I still feel Georgie. Do you think she can hear us?

Spinelli: The kind and gentle friend has a powerful spirit.

Maxie: I swear, Georgie, if you can hear me, please don't let anything bad happen to Robin and her baby. They need you looking out for them right now.

image

Robin: About the closet.

Patrick: You mean the nursery.

Robin: I know it's a closet. You know it's a closet. We have to get the kid out of there before she knows it's a closet. You know, once this is done, I think we should rethink our living arrangements.

Patrick: Yeah?

Robin: Yes.

Patrick: Whatever you want.

Robin: Maybe we can get one of those big Victorian houses across from -- here comes another one.

[Robin screams]

Elizabeth: The D cells are prolonged and the variability is minimal.

Kelly: She's in distress.

image

Sam: I don't know what you think your deal is --

Jason: What are you doing?

[Explosion]

image

Sonny: Just answer me, Karpov. Did you shoot Kate?

Karpov: You are in no position to make demands.

Sonny: You didn't shoot her, did you?

Karpov: What does it matter who shot the woman, hmm? She'll live, and you, you're about to die.

[Karpov grunts]

[Karpov speaking Russian]

[Alternative rock playing]

Singer: Everything I wanted everything I needed everything I trusted you're everything to me you're everything

image

Luke: Please, cut your old man some slack. I didn't want this to happen. You think that I expected this to happen?

Tracy: It's always just the luck of the draw with you. I don't blame you, but I also cannot stand by and idly watch my marriage disintegrate. I don't bow out gracefully. I'm not made that way.

Luke: Why bow out at all?

Tracy: You don't get it. This is not going to end well for us.

image

Scott: Laura, you need to work this out.

Laura: Yeah, I do. But you know, knowing the truth about Luke doesn't change how I feel about you.

Scott: Yeah, well, the proof is that I've always loved you. And all he's done is lie to you.

Singer: You're everything I wanted everything I needed everything I trusted you're everything to me
