Kate: Carly, no!

[Kate screams]

Carly: Are we even now?

image

Anthony: Would you like me to repeat the vows?

Sonny: No, I heard them.

Anthony: I thought we had the deal in place.

Sonny: Yeah, we do.

Walter: Can I consider that a yes?

image

Elizabeth: Jake! Jake! Jake!

Jason: What? What -- what happened?

Sam: The Russians took Jake.

Jason: Elizabeth and Cam --

Sam: No, no, no, no, they're safe. Let's go. It's been less than two minutes since they left. We can catch them.

Elizabeth: Damn it, Jason, you go find my baby!

image

Walter: Therefore, by the power vested in me by the state of New York, I now declare you husband and wife. At this point, it's elective but considered traditional -- of course, it's entirely up to you.

Claudia: What he's trying to say is, you can kiss the bride or not.

image

Carly: Did you pay me back? Do you feel better?

Jax: How'd you get in here, Carly?

Carly: I swear to God, up until this very second, I thought we had a chance. I really thought we had a chance.

Jax: You shouldn't be here.

Carly: You shouldn't be here.

Kate: This may be a technicality, but you are in my living room.

Carly: You know, that one time I slept with Sonny in the limo, we were out of our minds with grief, and I have apologized to you every way I know how. I've done everything. I've put my heart in your hands, and you come here, and you sleep with Sonny's throwaway?

Jax: Listen to yourself. It's always about Sonny.

Carly: It's not about Sonny.

Jax: It's still about Sonny, Sonny this and Sonny that.

Carly: So -- so how was it? Did you get what you needed? Did you hurt me as bad as you were hurt?

Kate: Do not even pretend to be the victim here.

Carly: I never once set out to deliberately hurt you, ever.

Jax: I know. Neither have I.

Kate: Yes, and that being said, you did practically shove Jax into my arms.

Carly: Wow.

Johnny: You know anything about the stars?

Lulu: My brother Nikolas does. He sees warriors and Greek gods. I just see stars.

Johnny: So which way are we headed? North, south, east?

Lulu: Well, where is the North Star?

Johnny: I think it's that one up there.

Lulu: Okay, then we're not going in that direction.

Johnny: Why?

Lulu: Because we're not going to head north in December. I don't want to get any colder than I am now.

Johnny: Okay, so I guess if that's north, then that must be east.

Lulu: That's back to Port Charles.

Johnny: I'm not going back to Port Charles.

Lulu: I am not going back there either, so we have south or west.

Johnny: Which one do you want?

Lulu: I don't know. Why don't we just drive until we feel like stopping and just stay until we're ready to leave?

Johnny: I like that idea.

Lulu: I mean, we could head all the way to the coast, maybe even stop in the mountains for a little while.

Johnny: Hey, you know, when I was little I wanted to be a cowboy in Oklahoma.

Lulu: Oh, hmm.

Johnny: Stupid.

Lulu: Yeah, that's okay. Well, maybe we could, you know, get hired at a ranch somewhere. Or we could just keep going west, maybe -- I don't know -- go to the coast of Mexico.

Johnny: I think you're serious about this.

Lulu: I am serious about this. My family was on the run for years before I was born, and I think they were hiding from this guy, Frank Smith. He was like your dad, I think, and Lucky got to go with them. They would go to so many different places, like Ireland and Marrakech, even Canada for a little bit, and now it's my turn to be a real Spencer and be on the road with the man that I love.

image

Sam: Bars, come on, bars.

Jason: The Russians must have circled back.

Sam: Oh, good. Hello -- yes, hi. Yes, a little boy was just grabbed from a cabin outside of Watertown off of I-81. There was a shootout. I don't know if he was injured. There's still a woman up there with a young child, and they need your help. Hello? Hello? Yeah, uh-huh, his name is Jake Spencer, blonde hair, blue eyes. He was wearing a camouflage onesie and -- what's that? Hold on. Did you see the car?

Jason: A black van. I didn't see the license plate.

Sam: Yes, it was a black van, but we didn't see the license plate. Hello, hello? Yeah, that's right. Hello? Hello?

Jason: What?

Sam: I lost the signal.

Jason: Are you sure they heard enough?

Sam: I'm positive. When did you see the car?

Jason: You know what? It almost hit me when I was driving up to the cabin.

Sam: Jason, you missed the car by two minutes.

Jason: I had no idea my son was in that van.

image

Elizabeth: It's okay now. Jason and Sam went to go find your brother, and they're going to bring him back, and he's going to be safe. I'm so sorry, baby. Mommy should have never, ever brought you out here, but you were so brave. I promise I will never, never let anything like this happen to you ever again.

[Pounding on door]

Lucky: Elizabeth!

Elizabeth: Oh, God, Lucky.

Lucky: Are you okay?

Elizabeth: They took Jake.

Cameron: Daddy!

Lucky: Hey, buddy. Oh, my God. I'm so happy to see you. What do you mean they took Jake?

image

Jason: Okay, start at the beginning.

Sam: Okay. We had a blowout on the way up, and I changed the tire, and of course I checked it, because I thought it was shot out, and it wasn't, and that's when I saw a black van, and it had to have been the Russians.

image

Elizabeth: They must have followed us up here. I wanted to make it fun for the boys, so we were going to roast marshmallows. Sam went out to get firewood, and then she saw one of them.

Lucky: Wait, one of the Russians?

image

Sam: We got back to the house, and I went outside to get some firewood, and that's when I saw one of the guys, so I quickly went inside. I bolted the doors. Elizabeth, she tried to call you.

image

Elizabeth: The phone lines were cut.

image

Sam: And we -- we didn't want to scare the boys, so we had them build a fort in the bedroom.

image

Elizabeth: Sam had a shotgun, and I used a handgun. For a moment I thought that they had given up and gone away. That's when the shooting started, and it was so loud. I never imagined it would be so loud.

image

Sam: We needed to lure one of the guys in because we were really low on ammunition, and -- and we did, and I shot him with the shotgun, and I was out of bullets, so I told Elizabeth to take the other gun and go in to protect the boys and I would create a diversion. And -- and I did, and one of the guys came in, and I was in serious trouble, Jason, serious. And Elizabeth, she -- she shot him dead.

image

Elizabeth: He was coming after Sam, so I shot him.

Lucky: So you saved Sam's life?

Elizabeth: Lucky, I killed a man, and now our son is gone.

image

Sam: She went into the bedroom to check on the boys, and the mattress was not over the window anymore. Cameron, he was still in the fort, but Jake was gone. Do you think the Russians had any idea that Jake was your son?

Jason: I'm not sure what really matters. I mean, the only reason to take a kid is to force me to come get him.

Sam: No, Jason, it is a trap, and your son is the bait.

image

Claudia: I can't believe Daddy found a wedding cake at this last minute.

Trevor: Beautiful. Come on, Richie, cheer up. You always said you wanted to be the top dog for the Zaccharas. What did you think it was going to feel like?

Anthony: You'll stay for the reception, padre.

Walter: I'm just a justice of the peace, sir. It's not traditional that I participate in the festivities.

Anthony: Well, we're going to flaunt tradition for once. You'll stay.

Sonny: You know what? Why don't you go ahead? I appreciate what you -- what you did here on short notice, and why don't you go ahead and go do what you need to do?

Walter: Thank you, sir.

Sonny: Claudia, you want to cut the cake?

Claudia: Are you serious?

Sonny: Yeah, go ahead. Dead serious.

Claudia: Okay, I wish I had a camera.

Milo: Right here.

Sonny: See? My people -- they're always -- they're always prepared. Milo, you got it?

Milo: Yeah.

Sonny: Okay, there you go, great.

Milo: Ready?

Sonny: Yes.

Claudia: Okay.

Sonny: Look at that. Look at that. I guess that's -- that's it, right? No?

Anthony: All right, father of the bride has a toast. Everybody, please take some champagne.

Trevor: Richie, it's not polite to pout at a wedding. Come on. Put your game face on. Sonny, Claudia, congratulations. You two deserve each other. See what I mean.

Sonny: Allow me. I'll get you -- there you go.

Claudia: Thank you.

Anthony: A toast to my new son-in-law and my beautiful daughter. May your union bring peace and prosperity to us all.

Anthony: Okay, wedding's over. Claudia, make yourself scarce. We got business to discuss.

Sonny: Oh, no, no, no, no. My wife is not going anywhere. Come over here.

image

Carly: I know that you're grieving because of Jerry, but you know, do you feel better about the breakup now? Do you?

Jax: You just -- you just barged in here. I don't have to explain anything to you.

Carly: That is the exact same thing I said to you when you found Sonny at my house, but I wasn't screwing Sonny.

Jax: Oh, no, you only screwed Sonny a couple of times before that, didn't you?

Carly: Oh, my God. You're going to bring that up?

Jax: Am I supposed to just forget about that?

Carly: How many times have you lied to me, Jax?

Kate: Okay, okay, do not engage. If you let her get it out of her system, maybe she'll leave us alone.

Carly: Wow. I really hope you guys have enjoyed yourselves, because this is going to cost you big time. Both of you. I've been fighting this divorce. I've been trying to hold on to you every way I know how, but if you want to be with her, be with her. And let me tell you something, Connie Falconeri. I will destroy you. I will destroy you.

image

Johnny: We should go in the car. It's warmer.

Lulu: I don't know. It's pretty hot out here.

[Laughter]

Lulu: Oh, my God.

Johnny: It's a little warm.

Lulu: Yeah.

Sheriff: Step out of the car, please.

Lulu: Oh, my gosh. I'm coming.

Sheriff: Is there a problem here?

Johnny: No, no problem at all.

Sheriff: Looks like a problem to me.

Lulu: We're not doing anything wrong.

Sheriff: Why'd you pull over?

Lulu: To look at the stars.

Sheriff: The stars?

Lulu: Yeah, the -- the little, shiny bright things up there that you can see.

Sheriff: I don't appreciate your attitude, miss. I could charge you both with lewd behavior.

Lulu: For looking at the stars?

Sheriff: Your car is parked in an unsafe location on a public road, and I have reason to believe that you are participating --

Lulu: Okay, wait, wait, wait, why don't you arrest somebody who's actually doing something wrong, you know, like a drug dealer, or -- I don't know -- a bank robber?

Sheriff: You want me to take you in? Is that what you're asking for?

Johnny: Hey, leave her alone.

Sheriff: Hands on the car.

Lulu: Oh, my gosh. What is going on? Is this happening right now?

image

Nikolas: Hey.

Luke: Hi. Lost?

Nikolas: Lulu -- she said that you moved back here. Reopening?

Luke: I'm open to it, but I've hit a little financial bump in the road. But I remain optimistic.

Nikolas: Well, that's new for you.

Luke: Drink? I finished the scotch. I'm working on the gin, but I think I could scare up a little vodka.

Nikolas: It's a little early for me.

Luke: Oh, come on, Nik. Live a little.

Nikolas: Okay, why not?

Luke: That was easy enough. Here.

Nikolas: Thanks.

Luke: To better days ahead.

Nikolas: I'll drink to that.

Luke: So, something I can do for you?

Nikolas: No, no, I just came by to pass along some information. I got a call from -- from my mother this morning. She's fine. She's doing great. Loves Paris, loves the house that I got her there.

Luke: And medically?

Nikolas: Well, the doctors, they seem to be hopeful, but they aren't sure if the recovery is permanent or not. In any event, she's being closely monitored and enjoying every moment of being awake, sends her love, and says she misses us.

Luke: I hope she's enjoying every moment of her independence.

Nikolas: The question is, are you?

Luke: Yeah, sure, I always enjoy my independence. I do miss my wife.

Nikolas: Which one?

image

Sonny: I will be doing business in my house, not yours. Ric, get the major lieutenants. Have them be in my living room in about one hour.

Anthony: With all due respect, I need to have the meetings here because of the wheelchair. It's difficult for me to travel. I'm sure you understand.

Sonny: You won't be included. That's what this wedding was all about. You just handed over all the power of the Zacchara organization to me, which means I will do what I want. I will not be second-guessed. I will run the organization the way I want it run. That was our agreement, wasn't it?

Anthony: I'm supposed to trust you?

Claudia: Yes, Daddy, that's why you made Sonny family.

Sonny: Let's go, Claudia.

Claudia: Bye, Daddy.

Sonny: You, thanks. Come on.

Ric: Well, you wanted "for better or for worse." You got it.

image

Nikolas: I'm probably not the most likely confidant here, but it was about this time last year that I was in pretty bad shape over Emily's death, and you said some things to me that really helped. Now, I'm not offering unsolicited advice, but if you need a sounding board, I'm available.

Luke: I remember that conversation. You were so consumed in your grief, you couldn't see beyond your pain.

Nikolas: Yeah.

Luke: You didn't think you would ever be able to love again. I pontificated that one love doesn't replace another, that you probably would love again and it would be just as deep and just as rewarding as with Emily or some such sap, but that did happen with me and Tracy. You think there's a lesson there?

Nikolas: I wouldn't know. I never see my lessons coming. They have to kick me in the face to get my attention. I'm not -- I'm not here to disrespect your marriage to Tracy or to be a cheerleader for my mother, but I need to know, how do you -- how do you even equate the two? Because all I've ever heard for as long as I can remember is that Luke and Laura was -- thank you -- it was the greatest love ever, the standard for all of us, and now that she's awake, even if it was just for a little while, how could you let her go back to Paris without you?

Luke: I'm married to Tracy, Nik, not your mother. And no matter how I feel about Laura, I can no longer just drop my life or my wife whenever it looks like she might recover.

Nikolas: Well, I guess it's a done deal, then. You're with Tracy.

Luke: Yeah, I am. Well, not so much at the moment. She overheard me having a conversation with Lulu where I told her that I would have accompanied your mother to Paris if she'd asked me to. You know, just to get her settled. Anyway, the proverbial hit the fan. Tracy, even though she doesn't wear it on her sleeve, can be hurt as deeply as anyone else, and I've hurt her repeatedly by making her second to Laura. I can't do that anymore. The ironic thing is none of that may even matter, because now I don't think she's ever going to trust me again. Oh, hell.

image

Lulu: Officer, he hasn't done anything wrong.

Johnny: Lulu, it's okay.

Lulu: This is a violation of your civil rights.

Sheriff: Keep it up, young lady, and I'll put you in handcuffs, too.

Lulu: Oh, go for it, and I will sue you.

Sheriff: Let's see some I.D. John Zacchara? I apologize for the misunderstanding, Mr. Zacchara. I didn't realize.

Johnny: Hmm, what? All of a sudden I have civil rights because I'm Anthony Zacchara's son?

Sheriff: We've had a lot of problems with kids stopping along the side of the road here.

Lulu: That does not give you the right to push him up against a car and handcuff him.

Sheriff: Let's just forget all about tonight.

Johnny: What if I don't want to forget about it? Since I can park my car anywhere I want, that means I can do anything else I want, right?

Sheriff: I don't want any trouble.

Johnny: I can get away with whatever I want, right?

Lulu: Johnny, come on. Let's go.

Johnny: Huh? Can I get away with that?
