Robin: Okay, I think we need a tree that's at least six-foot.
Patrick: Six-foot is good.
Robin: Okay, now we just have to figure out what kind. I don't like the noble fir ones. Those are the ones I think the branches are too far apart.
Patrick: See, this is where we stay out of the way here, Emma.
Robin: I can't remember the name of the kind that I like. Was it Scotch pine? I don't know. I forget.
Patrick: And one more tip, we let her make the decisions.
Robin: I like a fat tree, you know, a friendly, big, bushy-looking tree. Sometimes the ornaments don't hang straight on one, but that doesn't really matter, right? Hey, what are you telling Emma?
Patrick: Nothing.
Robin: Are you telling her that I have control issues?
Patrick: No, I'm saying that you're very good at making decisions, and that tradition is important for you, and that includes Emma's first Christmas tree.
Robin: You're good. Nice save.
Patrick: Thank you.
Robin: There it is, our Christmas tree.
Johnny: I am working, and I'm proud of it.
Claudia: John, you're one of the smartest people I know, and I love you. But you haven't attended a single year of college. So what are you going to do after the holiday season? Are you going to go into the janitorial industry or the food service industry?
Johnny: I'll figure it out when I get there.
Claudia: Johnny, you were raised in a mansion with everything you ever wanted. You think you're going to be happy like this?
Johnny: Working here is a hell of a lot better than watching you sell yourself to Sonny Corinthos.
Claudia: Don't get ugly.
Johnny: Claudia, this is ugly. You are with a man who hates you, who will kill you if he finds out that you got his son shot.
Claudia: I'm working Sonny. I am. I'm getting him to trust me. He's already halfway there, Johnny. We're talking. We're spending time together. He even cooked for me.
Johnny: You are living in a dream.
Claudia: Have a little bit of faith. I know how to play this.
Johnny: Okay, so what if you do, huh? Do you know what you want to gain through it? Do you have any idea what you're doing or why?
Claudia: Yes, Sonny's going to make the business stronger, and I'm going to be right by his side.
Johnny: Well, good, I'm happy for you. I hope you're happy.
Claudia: I'm doing this for you, John. When the time comes, we will get rid of Sonny, and you'll take over. You will take your rightful place.
Johnny: Claudia, you're just not getting this. I'm done with this family, with this life. Now, I love you, you are my sister, but what you do, you do for yourself.
Luke: Look, daughter, I know that faking a massive coronary might seem like extreme measures.
Lulu: You think?
Luke: Well, you know, ever since Tracy's threatened to divorce me, I've been begging her on hand and knee to take me back.
Lulu: Well, a little begging might be good for you.
Luke: No, it isn't good for me. It isn't good for any man. You need to be respected by your life's partner. She's just been putting me down too long. It stops right here in this hospital bed.
Lulu: You know what? I kind of get why Tracy is so upset.
Luke: Well, I don't get it. I love her. I want to be married to her. What more does she want?
Lulu: To come first. If you can't say it to her and mean it, I get why she wants to leave. It's got to be awful coming second to someone else.
Luke: She doesn't come second.
Lulu: Then what is she? You got to be honest with yourself, Dad. You owe that to Tracy.
Tracy: They tell me you've had a massive heart attack.
Alexis: Long ago, before you and I made that critical error in judgment to become personally involved when I was your attorney --
Sonny: Right.
Alexis: Do you remember?
Sonny: Yes, yes.
Alexis: That hypocritical arrangement that we had that I would only participate if it wasn't blatantly illegal, nor would I defend anyone who willfully committed an act of violence.
Sonny: Well, yeah, you knew what was going on and kind of looked the other way.
Alexis: Because there were extenuating circumstances. You were the extenuating circumstance, because I believed in you.
Sonny: Well, I never pretended to be a good person, but I do have a code.
Alexis: Oh, God, the code. Yes, I know all about your code, because I made all kinds of excuses based on that code. And I fell into the trap of rationalizing that you were a good mobster. And by ignoring the truth that a mobster by definition is a threat to an orderly and peaceful society, I have contributed to escalating the violence in this town, which has now reached biblical proportions. And at any moment, I expect a plague of locusts to descend upon us.
Sonny: Well, you know that wouldn't be good for you, because you hate bugs.
Alexis: Don't -- do not, no, do not be charming, because it is not going to change the fact that you are wrong. And that became clear the minute you married Claudia Zacchara.
Nikolas: That was a very moving eulogy you gave.
Nadine: Thanks for being here, Nikolas. I couldn't have gotten through that without you.
Vance: I'm proud of you, Nadine. And Raylene's looking down in heaven just as proud.
Nadine: Thanks, Uncle Vance.
Attorney: I hate to intrude, but Raylene was adamant about you hearing her wishes as soon as possible.
Nadine: Oh, you mean the reading of the will?
Attorney: It's actually on DVD.
Vance: Well, the TV is right over here. Just plug it right on in, and we'll watch.
Nadine: I don't expect this to take very long. She didn't have much besides this farm and a few pieces of china.
Attorney: Well, I'll just let Raylene tell you more.
Raylene: Hey, there, Vance, Bo, and Nadine. If you're watching this, it's safe to say that I've passed on to another life. I want you to know that I loved you all. I don't regret a minute of the life I led, and I hope none of you do either. Now, before I go any further, I want you all to prepare yourselves, especially you, Nadine. There's a lot about your Aunt Raylene that you don't know.
Robin: Okay, you got it?
Patrick: I thought we agreed to a six-foot tree. This isn't a six-foot tree.
Robin: That is. It's about six feet. Okay, keep going. I think you should put it over by the window. That's good. A little bit to the left. No, left. No, a little bit more to the right, back to the center.
Patrick: Okay, you better be careful. Emma's going to think you're a control freak.
Robin: Okay, now turn it around. The bushy side has to be over here.
Patrick: They're all bushy sides.
Robin: Just turn it around just a little bit. Good, right there. Now, that is a beautiful tree.
Patrick: Yes, gorgeous and heavy.
Robin: Christmas is eight days away, and this is already my favorite Christmas ever.
Patrick: I agree, but the best present isn't coming on Christmas.
Robin: Wait until you see what I got you.
Patrick: Well, it can't compare to the 26th when I marry the woman that I love.
Tracy: When you collapsed at the Haunted Star last night, perhaps I made a mistake leaving you there?
Luke: This isn't a game, Tracy. I don't want to lose you.
Tracy: Luke, I'm sick to death of the emotional rollercoaster.
Luke: I know how much I've hurt you. I'm sorry. I want it all to stop.
Tracy: And what? We go back to our rose-colored denial until Laura shows up?
Luke: I love you. I miss you. I miss us. What is it going to take to convince you that I mean what I say?
Tracy: Well, drinking yourself into an oblivion is a little more convincing than I need.
Luke: Well, that's what desperation does to you.
Tracy: Yeah, but Luke, you promised me you would take care of yourself. And you dove right back into your bad habits.
Luke: Well, you dove back into yours. Haranguing me, berating me, putting me down all the time.
Tracy: I do it because I --
Monica: Tracy, I'm going to have to ask you to step outside, please.
Tracy: Why?
Monica: Because I asked you to.
Monica: I just got your test results back, and your condition is dire.
Sonny: I sent Kristina some Christmas gifts. I don't know if she got them.
Alexis: Don't change the subject.
Sonny: No, I'm just saying, it's the holidays. I can't talk about --
Alexis: Yes, she got the gifts.
Sonny: She got the gifts?
Alexis: She loves the gifts.
Sonny: All right, that's good.
Alexis: All right, well thanks for the gifts. You're not coming over for Christmas, because you have created a climate that is way too dangerous.
Sonny: Okay, I will wait until things calm down.
Alexis: And when exactly do you think that will be now that you've chosen to marry into a family that's a leading crime syndicate?
Sonny: I did not think you would approve.
Alexis: The only possible reason that you would marry such a horrible woman is to form an alliance with the Zaccharas. I'm not even going to get into the archaic practice of using a woman to cement a business alliance.
Sonny: You want to lecture Zacchara, go ahead, you feel free.
Alexis: No, it's my job to deal with the head of the family, which is now you, right?
Sonny: I'm just supervising their interests.
Alexis: What on earth would make you do something this dangerous?
Sonny: Because I wanted to get back into my organization and that didn't happen. Do you understand what I'm saying?
Alexis: No, I don't.
Sonny: This gives me a base of my own.
Alexis: I don't care. They don't even pretend to have scruples or ethics. They play dirty, and now you're their godfather. Congratulations, you are officially a bad mobster.
Sonny: I'm a bad guy. I had to do what I had to do.
Alexis: And see, so do I. No more excuses. I can't do it. No more alibis. Not going to happen. You screw up, I'm going to have to prosecute you to the full extent of the law. Be careful, because this time you're going to be the one who has to take the fall.
Raylene: First of all, I'm sure you're all wondering what'll happen to the farm. Bo and Nadine, I'm dividing it equally between the two of you. It'll be up to you to decide whether to sell it or keep working it. Vance, I don't want you to think I've forgotten you. I have so many wonderful memories of our childhood years. Heck, you were the one who taught me how to swim. Remember that summer day at the creek when you told those older boys, in no uncertain terms, to stop making fun of your little sister?
Vance: Right before you threw a couple punches at them.
Raylene: You were a wonderful brother. And I'm leaving you $2 million.
Nadine: She didn't have that kind of money.
Raylene: I'm leaving Bo another $1 million. And since he's your son, I'm sure some day in the far off future, he'll be inheriting your money, too. Nadine, honey, I'm leaving $3 million in trust for the care of your sister Jolene. I hope and pray that some day she will wake up, but either way, her care will be taken care of and not be a burden on you. I'm also leaving you an envelope.
Nikolas: Wait, stop this. This is absurd. The rest of the family gets millions of dollars, and Nadine gets an envelope?
Claudia: Watch out for the lamp.
Sonny: So, you didn't listen to me, I guess? Obviously.
Claudia: Yeah, what can I say? I'm a pushy broad.
Milo: Sorry, boss.
Sonny: No, it's not your fault, Milo. It's her fault. Whoa.
Claudia: Maybe just in the corner over there, yeah? That's good, Milo. That's perfect.
Sonny: Listen, I don't want anything to do with that tree. I don't want stringing things on it. I don't want any ornaments hanging off it. I don't want to do anything with it.
Claudia: Okay, well, that's not a problem, because I'm going to do everything myself. And the tree is going to have gold, and it's going to have tinsel, and it's going to have lights, and it's going to be really, really beautiful. And you're going to really like it. I have a prediction to make. By the time Christmas comes, that tree right there, the sight of it, is going to actually make you feel better.
Sonny: Don't bet on it.
Claudia: Oh, Sonny, come on. You have to admit -- come on, admit that it makes the room look festive.
Sonny: Yeah, the tree's all right. Looks kind of tall and stuff. It's nice. It's nice.
Lulu: Sorry I'm late.
Maxie: You need to get better at checking your messages. What if I had been Kate?
Lulu: First of all, Kate is still in Manhattan. Second of all, I have things going on in my life other than work. My dad is in the hospital, and I had to go visit him.
Maxie: Oh, my God, is he okay?
Lulu: Yeah, he's fine. He's faking a coronary.
Maxie: Oh.
Lulu: What do you need?
Maxie: Well, I tried to tell you earlier, but you were sidetracked over your paranoia over Johnny.
Lulu: If you don't want to get sidetracked, stick to the point and stay out of my personal life.
Maxie: Fine, the decorator put a tree in Kate's house, and she hates it, so we need to buy another one, decorate it, and have it waiting for her by the time she gets back from the city.
Lulu: Okay, well, then while we're here, should we get a tree for our place?
Maxie: Don't you think that's like a little too sisterly. Then we'd have to decorate it and put presents under the tree for each other.
Lulu: Yeah, that would be really weird actually.
Maxie: On the other hand, it is our new home, and I kind of like presents.
Lulu: Let's just find Kate's first, okay? How about that one?
Maxie: It's lopsided.
Lulu: Fine, then that one.
Maxie: What is this? Throw a dart and pick a tree?
Lulu: I want to pick something so I can talk to Johnny and hear about his new job.
Maxie: Well, goody for you and Johnny, but Kate's picky, so we're not going to rush.
Lulu: Well, if we're going to have to look through every single tree, let's get started now.
Maxie: That's his new job?
Monica: There is no time to waste. Get an O.R. ready immediately. Call Dr. Laurence. I want him to scrub in, because I'm going to perform surgery immediately.
Luke: Surgery?
Monica: Yes, you need a quadruple bypass, Luke.
Luke: No, no.
Monica: The test results are clear. Your cardiac enzymes are off the chart, indicating cardiac ischemia. You could arrest at any moment.
Luke: What the --
Tracy: Monica, how bad is it?
Luke: Come in here.
Monica: I'm sorry. There really isn't time for good-byes at the moment.
Luke: Good-byes? What are you talking about? Good-byes?
Monica: Sedate him right now. I want him in a twilight sleep when we get him to O.R.
Luke: Oh, my God.
