spinelli: It is with great feelings of trepidation that i must now pronounce my quest on information concerning mr. Corinthos, sir's bust a bust.
Jason: Ok, you're telling me there's no information on sonny's arrest?
Carly: Why was sonny arrested?
[Jason sighs] Simple assault. He had a disagreement with a guy in an art gallery in the city.
Carly: What was sonny doing in an art gallery? Oh. Let me guess.
Jason: We can't find him anywhere.
Carly: He's still locked up?
Jason: Yeah.
Carly: You know how he gets when he's locked up, jason.
Spinelli: Fear not, valkyrie. The jackal will redouble his efforts and --
jason: You know what? Forget it. You already took your shot, ok?
Spinelli: No, look, i can cross-reference all the collars from the last --
jason: Cross-- just, i'm going to handle it.
Spinelli: Very well.
Carly: I hate to say it, ok, but if sonny got himself arrested because of some stupid stunt he's trying to pull for kate howard, maybe it's exactly what he needs to realize that she's not right for him.
Max: Hey, is that what i think it is?
Spinelli: Just taking a leisurely perusal of the schedule for the city health inspector.
Max: So a surprise visit will no longer be a surprise.
Spinelli: Well, the surprise is that it's today.
Max: Today? Today? We're never going to be ready. We can't just --
spinelli: "Excellent.""Excellent."
Max: What are you doing?
Spinelli: "Excellent" -- i'm just entering our grades -- "excellent" and "excellent." This concludes our surprise health inspection.
Max: What, we passed?
Spinelli: Surpassed. We are now the standard for all coffee houses throughout the municipality.
Max: Great work. I don't have to fix that stupid leak on the espresso machine. Nice. Hey, buddy, you're pretty keyed up, even for you. How many espressos you drink?
Spinelli: Actually, what drives -- what drives me is the desire to fill the vacuum that is my idle mind, lest the winds of remembrance blow thoughts of georgie into my mind. You know, i -- i discovere after her parting that she liked me. [Spinelli chuckles] She liked me a lot more than i knew, and that i had a chance -- that we had a chance, and of course, now that's gone.
Max: Yeah, buddy, that's rough.
Spinelli: Yeah, all -- all i have are her words. By mere chance, they came to me, just like the sweet breath of a lover on your pillow as you dream. And i tried to respond in kind, to actually -- to write a letter back, which, of course, her eyes, like shooting stars, would never see, but, alas, i, the jackal -- the legend of lexicon, i -- i found myself wordless.
Max: That never happens?
Spinelli: Almost as rare as true love, right? And so -- [spinelli sighs] You know, with stone cold lamenting for noble emily and vying for vengeance, i decided that i would, you know, sniff out the trail of the text-message killer. But alas, the rat hides in a maze that i have no map for. And so, as a last resort, i have decided to accept the humble role of reaping red tape that could ensnare stone cold. You know, if i can just remove the simple nuisance of this bureaucratic drive-by, he'll have more time and -- and freedom to focus his mind on things that are most important. So that is what i am going to do.
Max: Great work. Just don't get us caught.
Spinelli: Oh, god, the day that the ace of cyberspace falls prey to a corpulent city capitol pencil pusher is the day they make snow angels in hades. I.E., A cold day in hell-- o. "City health inspector"? Ha-ha!
Health inspector: Is it cold in here, or is it just me?
Spinelli: You --
jason: What sonny and kate do -- it's not my business, carly. It's not your business, either.
Carly: Sonny knows better than to get himself in a tight spot far away from home where his people can't get to him.
Jason: I'm working on it right now.
Carly: He's lost his head over kate -- don't you see that?
Jason: Are you sure it's his
head that you're worried about?
Carly: That's funny. That's really funny. Sonny and i are over, ok, we're history with a capital h. I'm with jax, i'm happy with a capital h.
Jason: Capital h. I get it.
Carly: That doesn't mean that i'm not always going to care about sonny, that i'm not always going to be worried about sonny. Sonny and kate are never going to work. Just like you and elizabeth are never going to work.
Jason: Ok, carly --
carly: Certain women cannot be with certain men.
Jerry: [Foreign accent] this shipment of product is critical. If anything goes wrong, it can break us.
Man: So what do you want me to do?
Jerry: I want you to minimize the risk, starting with stanford johnson.
Man: The guy you sent south?
Jerry: Yes, that's the one. See, we hired him away from the corinthos organization for his logistical prowess. But now that all the pieces are together, he's to be terminated.
Man: His employment?
Jerry: His life. We can't have him go back to his former employer and share trade secrets. You see, he's done in florida, so when the ax falls, my hands remain clean.
Epiphany: Cassius? Cassius! Cassius!
Cassius: Oh -- sorry, nurse johnson. Were you calling me?
Epiphany: Just at the top of my lungs.
Cassius: Oh. Speaking of some beautiful pipes, toussaint dubois and his saints. I mean, you seemed so moved by his music the other day. I went home, downloaded some of his music -- the skinny on it -- his music is tight.
Epiphany: Is it, now?
Cassius: It is.
Epiphany: And will it be as skinny as your wallet when you don't have a job? You can have this back at the end of your shift.
Cassius: Yes, nurse johnson. [Cassius hums]
epiphany: And no humming.
Leyla: It's going to be a long shift.
Nadine: Long year.
Epiphany: 1002 Needs a dressing change. 1006 Needs a sponge bath. 1011 Needs a catheter.
Nadine: What'd you do for new year's, nurse johnson?
Epiphany: I spent new year's eve waiting for my son to call me. And like poor mr. Adelson in 1011, i'm still waiting.
Ric: Do you like this tie?
Skye: Your message said it was urgent. I would've thought you were big enough to dress yourself by now.
Ric: Never mind.
Skye: So tell me, is this business or pleasure?
Ric: Oh, business with you, skye, is always a pleasure. No, i -- i just wanted to reiterate my offer to help you broker the sale of those piers that you inherited from mr. Alcazar.
Skye: Well, both sonny and the zaccharas have shown interest, but i haven't received any hard bids. So tell me, have the dynamics of the market changed?
Ric: Yes, indeed they have.
Skye: I'm listening.
Ric: Well, it appears that sonny has been arrested for assault in new york city. Seeing as how he's otherwise occupied, it's a perfect time to approach the zaccharas.
Skye: Or a perfect time to stick it to your brother-- So, after anthony zacchara stabbed you, i sat with you on what should have been your deathbed and watched your brother bleed for you. But maybe that just further whet your appetite for a pound of sonny's flesh.
Ric: Maybe it did.
Skye: I thought you were done with that vendetta.
Ric: I'm finding it a hard habit to break.
Skye: Hmm. Most addictions are. So you don't forget, i'm one of port charles' original revenge junkies. I realize that no matter how long it took me to get my fix, i still ended up empty and alone.
Ric: You know, maybe you just needed somebody to share the highs with.
Skye: Yes, but with those highs come the inevitable lows. Been there, done that.
Ric: Ok, so what are you doing now? I mean, now that you finished your 12-step program, what's next for you? I mean, you obviously have a wealth of assets.
Skye: Well, the waterfront properties are certainly one of them.
Ric: No, come on, skye, i'm not talking about real estate. You're a bright and beautiful woman and you're obviously trying to start a new life for yourself.
Skye: Well, i'm trying, for my daughter's sake.
Ric: Well, begs a few questions, then, doesn't it?
Skye: Such as?
Ric: Why are you answering my phone calls? Why are you here in my office? Why are you hanging around with an addict like me?
Skye: Maybe i think you need a sponsor.
Ric: Oh. That's sweet. You going to save me?
Skye: Well, you're certainly handsome, brilliant --
ric: Oh --
skye: Dynamic -- hmm.
Ric: Oh, please, no.
Skye: All the traits that play to my weaknesses.
Ric: Yeah.
Skye: Mm-hmm.
Ric: I am good at that.
Skye: Maybe there's a few you haven't really gotten around to, though.
Ric: Well, give me some time. You know, i cleared my entire day.
Skye: So i'm your only meeting?
Ric: Yeah, my only one.
Alexis: Hi.
Maxie: Hi.
Alexis: Thanks for coming.
Maxie: No problem.
Alexis: I'm going to an awards dinner in philadelphia, so i need a dress.
Maxie: Let me guess -- you want something that screams "award winner."
Alexis: I don't know if i want it to scream. Maybe proclaim in a loud voice. Maybe a whisper -- sometimes people hear you better when you're speaking softly. It's too bad kate howard's not here, you know, because i could really use her help.
Maxie: Well, why don't i just show you what we have.
Alexis: Oh, maxie. I'm sorry, honestly. I'm going on about dresses and awards and things and -- are you ok?
Maxie: Well, it's not so bad when i'm not at home. It's walking through the front door that really gets me. Georgie used to wait up to make sure i got home ok.
Alexis: I lost my sister and we weren't nearly as close as you and georgie were. Is your mother around?
Maxie: I'm sure you heard about the funeral.
Alexis: Mothers make mistakes.
Maxie: My mom leaving was not a mistake, it was a choice. She had her life to lead. She didn't want her children getting in the way.
Nikolas: Oh, that was great. Taking that walk with you and spencer was everything i thought i'd never experience again.
Emily: So --
nikolas: Yeah.
Emily: You feeling better?
Nikolas: Uh -- what if i die? What if this thing kills me? Then what?
Emily: Nikolas, your love for me beat cancer. And i truly believe that. And now i'm sitting here beside you. We cheated death.
Nikolas: Oh. What's a little brain tumor, right?
Emily: Yeah. Against our love? Nothing. So, page 243?
Nikolas: Page 243. [luke chuckles] I'm right here, wife. I'm not hiding under the bed. [Chuckles]
luke: What?
Cassius: All right, buddy. Now, you ready?
Luke: Yes, yeah, i'm ready. But i warn you both -- unless you want a lawsuit, my wife thinks that i am marked "handle with care."
Leyla: Oh, always. You're recovering, so you're fragile.
Cassius: All right, this end up.
Luke: Ah, you got that right.
Cassius: Easy -- there we go.
Luke: Thank you.
Cassius: You ok?
Luke: Yeah, good. Thanks, cassius.
Cassius: All right.
Luke: Thank you. Bye. Oh. If you tell me what you're looking for, maybe i can help you find it.
[Monitor beeps]
tracy: Any contraband your little friend ernesto might have smuggled in here.
Luke: You know, if i weren't under strict orders not to get excited, you and i were going to have a big, fat argument.
Tracy: I know you, luke. If you're not cheating, you're not breathing.
Luke: You judge me harshly, wife.
Tracy: I don't have to. Your conscience is doing a perfectly good job in there all by itself.
Luke: "Conscience." Am i talking in my sleep?
Tracy: Not yet.
Luke: But you've been listening.
Tracy: Luke, i keep a very close eye, ear, and nose on you at all times.
Luke: And i wouldn't have it any other way. Come on. [Luke pats bed] Come on. Come to papa.
Tracy: Oh.
Luke: Come on, baby. That's it. Relax.
Tracy: I don't want to lose you.
Luke: Huh. The way you were tossing this room, you'd probably find me if you did.
Tracy: I'm not kidding. I want to grow old with you. Don't even think about it.
Luke: Spanky, there are a lot of more miles left in this old ticker before it's going to stop.
Tracy: But since your heart belongs to me, i want you to take better care of it.
Luke: Ok.
Tracy: I'm going to let you rest.
Luke: Then rest, i shall.
Tracy: Can i get you some water?
Luke: No. No water. No, i'll just sleep. But i could have cassius record all my mumblings so you can listen to me snore. [Luke giggles]
tracy: I love you.
Luke: I love you, too.
Luke: Ha-ha!
Luke: Oh. Hmm. Ah, yeah.
Luke: Mmm.
Luke: Ah. [Luke coughs] [alarm] [luke wheezes] [commotion]
alexis: Ric?
Ric: Yeah, just a minute. Yeah, come in. Alexis.
Alexis: Ah. I didn't mean to interrupt a meeting.
Skye: No, i can go.
Ric: No, no, no.
Alexis: No, don't -- sit. You look very comfortable. So if you're in the middle of a merger of some sort, i don't want to interrupt.
Ric: No, no. Uh, thanks for coming.
Health inspector: Let's see what we have. There is "obtaining unauthorized access to the health department's mainframe, falsifying government documents," and you have a leaky hose under your espresso machine.
Spinelli: Uh, fair and just keeper of the permits, i mean, you have obviously misinterpreted what was in actuality just a foolhardy and innocuous shenanigans. See, i would never, ever endeavor to circumvent the necessary and prudent safeguards of your hallowed code.
Diane: There seems to be a misunderstanding.
Health inspector: I'm very clear on what's going on. Here you go.
Diane: If -- if i may. Mr. Spinelli is a deeply disturbed young man who, while completely harmless, lacks certain social skills.
Spinelli: Well, i --
diane: Don't -- stop. Hmm. Mr. Morgan has taken in and provided for this neer-do-well, who -- [diane chuckles] Without this act of charity would certainly burden an already overburdened system.
Health inspector: Is this true?
Diane: And mr. Morgan will be more than happy to pay any fine that mr. Spinelli's juvenile prank may have incurred.
Health inspector: And for the leaky hose?
Diane: Including the leaky hose, absolutely.
Health inspector: Keep an eye on him.
Jason: No choice.
Diane: Now that we have all that settled, can i ask you a question? Is that scarf a marisol deluna?
Health inspector: It is.
Diane: I recognize good taste. So, if you have to choose a gown to wear to accept a very prestigious award, would you go armani or neela llorente?
Health inspector: Armani.
Diane: Armani? Hmm.
Man: We got a man on stan johnson. As soon as he's clear of witnesses, he's roadkill.
[Phone rings]
elizabeth: 10th Floor, nurse webber. Yes, she is. We've been waiting for your call. Guess who?
Epiphany: Hmm. Well, now, your ears must have been burning. Florida? Now what in god's name are you doing all the -- hmm. Stanford, listen. No, i don't want to fight with you. No, i -- i just want to tell you that i miss you and -- and i love you, and i've made a new year's resolution to always tell you how proud i am of you. Yeah, every day. At least every time you call. Yes. Stanford? Stanford?
Elizabeth: Epiphany?
Epiphany: The -- there was a crash and -- and then the line went dead.
>> On the next "General Hospital" --
man: He committed assault, and he's not going anywhere.
Tracy: Oh, my God. I need help in here!
[Monitor flatlines]
judge luke: Your soul is on trial.

Jan 3, 2008 09:41
Tracy: Luke?
[Alarm]
Tracy: Luke? Luke? Oh, my god. I need a doctor. You didn't -- you didn't! I need help in here! What's taking so long?
Leyla: We have a code blue in room 527!
Tracy: Luke Spencer, you are going to have to cheat death just one more time.
Luke: What fresh hell is this?
Judge: This court is now in session, the most honorable Judge Lucas Lorenzo Spencer presiding.
Luke: Huh. Well, I do have a sense of humor.
Judge: Quiet. Put on your listening ears.
Luke: Your honor, may I ask -- where -- where is this court?
Judge: It is far deep within the purgatorial provinces of your warped and distorted psyche.
Luke: Well, what's the deal?
Judge: Mr. Spencer, your soul -- for the lack of a better, more precise word -- is on trial. And frankly, sir, so far, you're an idiot!
Detective: Look, I know you're gearing up for a war with the Zaccharas.
Sonny: I went to an art show, Detective.
Detective: Yeah, and you rammed a guy's head against a wall.
Sonny: You see what they're charging for that stuff? My kid could paint better.
Detective: What are you doing in Manhattan, Corinthos?
Sonny: What, are you here repeating yourself?
Detective: You may run Port Charles, but you've got no clout here.
[Knock on door]
Kate: Oh. Detective, I cannot thank you enough for finding my friend.
Epiphany: Stanford? Stanford! Stanford, it's your mama -- talk to me! Are you ok? Are you all right?
Cassius: What happened? What -- what'd you hear?
Epiphany: It -- it sounded like he was in an accident or something.
Elizabeth: Where is he?
Epiphany: He's someplace in Florida. And then, the line went dead.
Elizabeth: This is Elizabeth Webber from General Hospital. There's been an accident. His name is Stanford Johnson and his mother is a coworker of mine. She was on the phone with him when it happened. Yes, she is. Epiphany, it's the 911 dispatcher. He wants to talk to you.
Epiphany: Hel-- hello? This Epiphany Johnson, Stanford's mother. Yes, all he told me was that he's in Florida on business. No, I -- I don't even know what part of the state.
Elizabeth: Hey, it's me. I need your help.
Epiphany: He was on the way home -- and for me not to worry, and -- and then I heard tires screech and a horrible sound and -- and then nothing.
Ric: Sorry about that. The mayor -- I had to speak with him.
Alexis: Ah, that's ok. I see that you have a lot on your plate. As long as you asked me here, I thought, well, I'd just tell you that I have been nominated by the women's attorneys association for litigator of the year.
Ric: Congratulations!
Alexis: I know!
Skye: That sounds impressive.
[Ric chuckles]
Alexis: Well, you know, some of the recipients have gone on to very high-level cabinet posts, and I know one went to the federal bench and -
Ric: Uh-huh.
Alexis: One went to the Supreme Court, so -- so, what'd you want to see me about?
Ric: Oh -- um -- sorry.
Alexis: A trust for Molly?
Ric: Yeah, not that I don't think you can provide for her, Secretary of State Davis.
Alexis: Hmm. This is really wonderful, thank you.
Alexis: Oh, where is it? Here it is. Sam, Sam -- hi, Sam. Hey. Listen, I left a note for you giving you instructions on what to do, and keep in mind that Kristina's being a bit of a pill lately and she's being very fussy about what she eats, so -- but you'll be able to -- no. No, no! Sam, no -- you can't! You -- you can't do that. Viola's going to be out of the country. I don't have anybody else to watch the gir-- please -- no! Oh! Ok. Ok. I'll -- I'll -- I'll find someone else. Whew. Ok, you, too. I have to find somebody to watch the girls.
Ric: Well, I know somebody.
Alexis: You do?
Alexis: Reliable, somebody that's reliable?
Alexis: And that can do it at the last minute?
Ric: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Alexis: And can handle this?
Ric: And -- and loves Kristina and Molly -- as a matter of fact, is Molly's father.
Alexis: You?
Kate: When I realized that you had taken away my dear friend in a squad car and I had absolutely no idea where, I immediately called Michael.
Detective: Michael?
Kate: Bloomberg.
Detective: The mayor?
Kate: Yes. You see, we're expected at a function tonight and, well, I could put in a good -- or bad -- word to Michael depending on whether or not Mr. Corinthos and I make it.
Detective: Mr. Corinthos assaulted an innocent guy who was just looking at some paintings at an art gallery.
Kate: Oh, no. Geoffrey Lambere, the man in question, tripped. I saw the whole thing. It was New Year's Eve, and as usual, Geoffrey had just a little too much to drink, Detective --
Detective: Janco.
Kate: Detective Janco, it would be kinder for all concerned if we just let this go away, and I could tell Michael that you handled the situation with the utmost discretion.
Det. Janco: Your friend Sonny Corinthos is a known mobster. He committed assault and he's not going anywhere.
Leo: Give me another push of epi.
Leyla: He's still in v-fib.
Leo: All right, charge the paddles to 200. That better have been one hell of a cigar.
[Paddles charge]
Leyla: Charged.
Leo: All right. Clear. Hmm! Come on.
Luke: Wow. That judge is one handsome dude. He likes me, too -- I can tell. This is going to be a cakewalk. Or not.
Second Luke: The judge said something about "purgatorial province." I don't know what the hell that means, but it takes a long time to get the hang of this jurisprudence lingo.
First Luke: Well, I'm not going to be here that long.
Second Luke: Be careful what you ask for.
Prosecutor: Your honor, the prosecution is prepared to proceed.
Luke: Oh, I like that suit. Now, see, you should've dressed like that.
Judge: You may call your first witness.
Prosecutor: I call Alexis Davis.
Luke: Well, this should be ok. Natasha and I go back a long way.
Prosecutor: Ms. Davis, did the defendant approach you with a plan to kill Helena Cassadine?
Alexis: Yes.
Luke: Well, she slit her mother's throat and kidnapped and brainwashed my son.
Alexis: He thought that we should saw the parapet railing in Helena's home so that she might "have an accident."
Prosecutor: And did an innocent woman, one Katherine Bell, fall instead and become critically injured?
Luke: Well, that was her own damn fault.
Prosecutor: Did the defendant step forward and admit what he had done?
Alexis: No. He thought we should cover it up.
Prosecutor: Did he at any time show any remorse?
Alexis: No.
Luke: Aren't you going to object?
Lawyer: Object to what?
Prosecutor: I call Caroline Corinthos Jacks to the stand. You were given up for adoption when you were a child, were you not, Ms. Corinthos Jacks?
Carly: Yes, my mother was young, in difficult circumstances. My father wasn't present and she wanted me to have the life that she could never give me.
Prosecutor: And your mother is?
Carly: Bobbie Spencer.
Prosecutor: The defendant's sister.
Carly: Yes.
Prosecutor: And when Luke Spencer found out that you were his niece -- the long-lost daughter that his sister was forced to give up when she was little more than a child, the same daughter at she had been worried about and yearning for all those years -- what did he do?
Carly: He blackmailed me to keep my mouth shut so I wouldn't tell my mother the truth.
Prosecutor: He used threats and intimidation to keep you away from your own mother!
Carly: Yes, he did.
Luke: Well, when you put it like that, it sounds bad. Come on, I'm dying here.
Lawyer: That would be my assessment.
Luke: When I said "I'm dying here," I was referring to this lousy representation. Why aren't you cross-examining?
Lawyer: Because I'm trying to get the witnesses off the stand as quickly as possible.
Luke: What kind of defense strategy is that?
Lawyer: The faster they're out of here, the sooner they quit saying damning things about you.
Prosecutor: I call Edward Quatermaine to the stand.
Edward: Luke Spencer is a liar and a thief, and he duped my daughter into getting drunk in order to trick her into marrying him.
Luke: Nobody even asked him a question. The old blowhard just spouted off -- object already. Oh, give me some of that.
Luke: Nuts.
Edward: He's been sponging off of Tracy and the rest of us ever since. I say the hell with him, literally.
Luke: He wants to be the executioner.
Edward: Spectator. I want to watch you fry.
Lawyer: I object.
Luke: Finally. Lawyer: I object to this antiquated, out-of-date definition of "hell." We all know that there are far worse things awaiting the defendant than the old-fashioned fire and brimstone.
Judge: The comment will be stricken.
Lawyer: Thank you.
Prosecutor: I call police commissioner Mac Scorpio. You are married, Mr. Scorpio?
Mac: Not that it made any difference to Luke.
Luke: Felicia was a P.I. I hired her to help me find my son.
Mac: He slept with my wife.
Prosecutor: With wanton disregard for your marriage.
Mac: When he seduced Felicia, he was married to Laura, the supposed love of his life.
Prosecutor: I call Skye Chandler Quatermaine.
Luke: Oh, at last -- someone in my corner.
Prosecutor: Did you have sexual relations with the defendant while he was married to Tracy Quatermaine?
Skye: Yes.
Luke: Blaze, give me a break here.
[Judge pounds gavel]
Judge: Shh! I'm losing my patience here, Mr. Spencer. I have other things to do today.
Luke: But, your honor, you're not getting the full picture.
Judge: Mr. Spencer, do you see my mouth moving? I'm speaking. Put on your listening ears. Your attorney will have plenty of opportunity to speak.
Luke: My attorney doesn't exactly inspire confidence.
Prosecutor: I call Tracy Quatermaine.
Luke: I object. A wife cannot be forced to testify against her husband.
Tracy: I volunteered prosecutor: You and the defendant went to Las Vegas for your wedding.
Tracy: No. Luke told me that my son had eloped, so he promised to help me bring him back home. It was a big, fat lie.
Prosecutor: Tell the court about your wedding ceremony.
Tracy: I was dead drunk, in a blackout. It was the only way Luke knew I would marry him.
Luke: Ask her why I did it.
Tracy: He did it so that he could force me into returning some disputed funds. Actually, when he got what he wanted, he refused to divorce me.
Prosecutor: Mrs. Spencer, how would you characterize your husband?
Tracy: Well, let's see -- he is chronically unfaithful, a thief and a liar. He deserts me at the drop of a hat -- oh, and he put poison in my martini once. He said it was a joke, but I didn't find it funny and I knew he was trying to kill me.
Luke: Wife!
Prosecutor: Attempted murder?
Tracy: And that's not the worst of it.
Luke: What can you call me that's worse?
Tracy: You're a coward.
Alexis: It's a really generous offer.
Alexis: I just can't ask you to do that.
Ric: You didn't ask. I offered, ok? And I'd love the time with Molly.
Alexis: It's both girls.
Ric: And Kristina -- I miss them both.
Alexis: Well, and Kristina is -- oh, my god, what's going on with her right now -- she's a real handful, so it's -
Ric: Ok, believe me, I can -- I can manage. Ok, well, who are you going to get at this late date?
Skye: Sounds like the perfect solution to me.
Alexis: I'm just trying to be realistic.
Ric: And I'm trying to figure out why you're not comfortable with this. Look, Alexis, I raised Molly on my own and I was very good at it. Giving her up was the last thing I wanted to do. I relinquished custody because of my father's threats and because I knew she would be safer with you. Look, haven't I proven that I'll always act in our daughter's best interests?
Ric: But you just don't trust it? Hey, ok, look. You deserve this award, and I want you to enjoy the ceremony, so don't go and worry and -- about whatever.
Alexis: I'm not worried. I'm not. I know that you would not hurt the girls -- I know that. It's just that things got very ugly between us with the breakup and the -- the custody battle, and I think maybe I'm harboring a little more resentment and anger than I -- I realized. I think it's time to let that go. What I should've said was "thank you. I would love for you to take care of the girls while I'm gone."
Ric: Then you just got yourself a babysitter.
Jason: Spinelli managed to locate Stan.
Epiphany: Oh, thank god. How did you manage to do it?
Jason: Elizabeth called, told us what happened.
Spinelli: Yeah, I -- I was able to track the G.P.S. unit in his rental car. He -- he crashed in a remote stretch of highway in central Florida.
Jason: I called 911. Police and rescue workers are on their way.
Kate: I sit on the board of Winston Academy, the school which Mr. Corinthos' daughter attends, and we have very strict standards. If Mr. Corinthos has ever been convicted of a crime -
Sonny: I haven't, actually.
Kate: Oh. You see, Mr. Corinthos is here at my invitation, so it falls on me to sort things out. Are you married?
Det. Janco: Yeah. What's that got to do with -
Kate: Well, I would imagine living in the greatest city in the world that your wife enjoys a night out, some favorite thing to do, something she drags you to?
Det. Janco: Huh -- she likes Broadway musicals.
Kate: Of course she does. And you would rather be sitting at home watching a Yankees game, although it won't be the same without Joe Torre.
Det. Janco: No -- huh. He's the heart and soul of the team.
Kate: Yes. I told George he was making a mistake letting Joe get away.
Det. Janco: You know Steinbrenner? Well, next time you see him, give him an earful for me.
Kate: But you're a good husband, aren't you, Detective? You indulge your wife, right? You take her to a show?
Det. Janco: Makes her happy.
Kate: Yeah. Two seats, front-row center, any Broadway musical of your choice.
Det. Janco: You're kidding.
Kate: No. Please, it's the least I could do after this unfortunate event.
Det. Janco: Well, you'd make me some kind of hero.
Kate: And you would be saving my reputation, so here is my assistant Clarice's number. I'll tell her to expect your call.
Det. Janco: Well. Well, Corinthos, you're free to go.
Sonny: All right.
Officer: Just a second. Uh-uh-uh. What the hell is going on here?
Det. Janco: So, I didn't see any reason to hold him.
Officer: Sonny Corinthos shows up in our city and put a guy's head into a wall.
Det. Janco: Yeah, it was a new year's party. You know, the guy had a -
Kate: Few too many?
Det. Janco: Few too many and he -
Kate: Tripped.
Det. Janco: Tripped.
Officer: This is your version?
Kate: No, no, no, no. Actually, it's mine.
Officer: You're his attorney?
Kate: Oh, no. No, I'm a fashion editor and -
Officer: What?
Kate: And you are exactly the type that I am looking for.
Officer: Just because I put on this uniform doesn't mean I go that way.
Kate: Oh -- no, no, no. I don't think I'm getting -
Officer: I am all woman!
Kate: Exactly. Huh. No, we are running a feature in "Couture" magazine -
Officer: "Couture"? Right. And I'm Kate Howard.
Kate: No, actually, I'm Kate Howard.
Officer: Get out.
Sonny: Yeah, yeah, she's Kate Howard.
Kate: Yes.
Officer: I used to lift that magazine every month from the newsstand when I was in high school.
Kate: So did I.
[Officer Janco chuckles]
Kate: So, this article we're doing -- it's called "Real-World Chic," and we're taking five New York City women in highly stressful jobs and we're giving them a complete wardrobe makeover.
Officer: No matter what you see on TV, it is impossible to track down a perp in five-inch heels.
Kate: Ok, see? See, that is exactly why we need a woman just like you to put high fashion to the real-world test, that is if -- if you have the time to schedule a fitting and come in for some test shoots.
Officer: Yeah, sure, I can do that.
Kate: Great. Well, you have my assistant Clarice's number. Give her a call. Oh, wait -- oh, my friend?
Officer: Turn Mr. Corinthos loose.
Jason: We have no way of knowing how bad the car was wrecked or how badly Stan was injured. I'm sorry, there's just nothing else we can tell you at this point.
Epiphany: You can tell me what he was doing in Florida in the first place.
Jason: I -- I don't know.
Epiphany: Or you won't tell me because it was business. If my son got hurt doing something for you -
Jason: No, no -- Stan doesn't work for me anymore. He quit back in September.
Epiphany: Then what has -- what's he been doing all this time? Who has he been working for?
Jerry: Yeah, Stan was on the phone with his mother when the car wrecked. I mean, there is no greater confirmation than that. Still, I want to make sure he's dead.
Bailiff: Go.
Tracy: Luke Spencer was too much of a coward to deal with real life, so he took the coward's way out. He lit up a Cuban cigar right after quadruple bypass surgery. You're an idiot!
Prosecutor: I call Nikolas Cassadine. You are the defendant's stepson.
Nikolas: Well, Luke preferred to call me "the spawn," and that's exactly how he treated me -- as if I were the son of the devil.
Luke: Oh, come on, Nik -- not for a long time now.
Nikolas: See, Luke hated that Laura had a son with another man. He wanted me dead.
Prosecutor: I call Lesley Webber to the stand. Your daughter, Laura, was married to the defendant.
Lesley: Yes.
Luke: Lesley's always liked me.
Lesley: Luke would say that Laura was the love of his life. What he'd fail to mention is that he got her into constant danger, he took her "on the run" for years, and when he first met her, she was married to another man and he destroyed her marriage.
Scott: I reached out to Luke, I befriended him. And how did he pay me back? By hitting on my wife, and when she resisted, he raped her.
Luke: Why aren't you objecting or cross-examining?
Lawyer: Because everything that's being said is true.
Jan 3, 2008 09:46
Judge: The defense may now present its case.
Luke: Finally.
Lawyer: I call Barbara Jean Spencer to the stand. Ms. Spencer, what is your relationship with the defendant?
Bobbie: Well, he's my big brother, but he was a lot more to me when we were growing up. I mean, he was the closest thing I ever had to a parent. He was my best friend. Luke was the person that I looked to for guidance.
Lawyer: For example?
Bobbie: He encouraged me to become a prostitute.
Lawyer: Oh.
Bobbie: No, there's more. When Luke discovered that my daughter was alive and living in Port Charles going by the name of "Carly," he lied to my face and told me she was dead.
Luke: This is my defense?
Lawyer: I call Lucky Spencer to the stand. Mr. Spencer, please tell the court about your relationship with your father.
Lucky: Imagine a father bigger than life. A father who understood you and guided you and gave you all the tools to get on in the real world. Well, that's not my dad.
Lawyer: He took an unconventional approach?
Lucky: Oh, he hated being a father. Yeah, he'd tell you straight up. He only did it for my mom, and then he'd use any excuse and bail on her to go on some great adventure, which mostly involved a lot of booze and women.
Lawyer: Exaggerated claims, no doubt overheard by the witness from the defendant's detractors.
Lucky: Oh, I was there. He dragged me all around the world when I was a kid, giving me these lessons in life. The things that he drilled into me -- contempt for my brother, contempt for the law.
Lawyer: And through these things, you gained -
Lucky: Yeah, lying, cheating, running a scam.
Lawyer: You gained insight into the real world. He prepared you for the harsh realities.
Lucky: It didn't prepare me for when I found out that he raped my mother.
Lawyer: That'll be all. Thank you. That's it. No more questions. Ooh. Tough witness.
Judge: Do you wish to cross-examine?
Prosecutor: I have only one question for this witness, your honor. Do you think Luke Spencer was a good father?
Lucky: I don't think he was any kind of father at all.
Alexis: Who's dead?
Jerry: The deal. The deal -- the deal I'm working on, if I don't make it happen soon.
Alexis: What are you doing in my office?
Jerry: Well, I'm working on bringing some funds out of the country as soon as legally possible, and since you are my attorney -
Alexis: Not if you break into my office, I'm not.
Jerry: Oh, no, no, no, the door was unlocked.
Alexis: I never leave my door unlocked.
Jerry: No, no, you probably forgot because of that big award and, you know -
Alexis: You know, first you break into my office -
Jerry: No, I did not break --
Alexis: Now you're insulting me.
Jerry: I didn't mean to -
Alexis: See, that makes it even worse -- that's how deep your misogyny runs. You think that I'm acting like a giddy little schoolgirl because I was nominated. It's "Woman Litigator of the Year," by the way.
Jerry: Yes, it's a real honor.
Alexis: It's not prom queen. And just because I was singled out as one of the top attorneys in the country doesn't mean that I just let all reason fly right out the window.
Jerry: Of course not, Alexis.
Alexis: True, I'm honored, a little nervous. I'm in a bit of a quandary about what I'm going to wear, but I am in total control of my surroundings.
Woman: Ms. Davis, you missed your meeting with the city council.
Ric: Yeah, it was late spring. Been raining like crazy and the weather finally let up. Whole yard was -- it was bursting with life, and Molly wanted to see it all, she wanted to touch it all. I don't know -- watching her, I felt -- connected, you know? Part of it. For the moment.
Skye: Maybe you should try simplifying your life instead of complicating it.
Ric: You're a welcome complication.
Skye: Well, the waterfront property I own, anyway.
Ric: Still not sure that I can be trusted, is that right?
Skye: Well, I've made a lot of mistakes.
Ric: Look, Skye, something happened the night of the ball. I mean, after I got pinned to the wall. You know, the two of us got thrown together. We got a chance to see each other. You know, really see each other for who we are. You know, we're a lot alike.
Skye: Exactly.
Ric: I know both of us have been burned, and -
Skye: Too many times to count.
Ric: Look, I'm -- I'm -- I -- I don't have any logic to make you think that this is going to be any different. I just think that this could be the start of something good.
Skye: I'll get back to you on that.
Ric: You do that.
Kate: Are you ok?
Sonny: Yeah, I'm just not big on jail cells, you know?
Kate: Well, which makes me wonder -
Sonny: What's that?
Kate: Why you really attacked Geoffrey knowing there'd be repercussions.
Sonny: I may dress better than I did in high school, but I never really left Bensonhurst, if you know what I mean. I'm still a street fighter.
Kate: Hmm. I don't remember you being a bully.
Sonny: The guy -- he rubbed me the wrong way. He deserved what was coming, end of story. I'm sorry, Ms. Howard, that I ruined your night.
Kate: Mr. Corinthos, I just rescued you from NYPD lockup. It's not nice to lie to me. Mmmm... what are you eating?
Sonny: I'm not lying.
Kate: Fine. You're leaving out a large portion of the truth, like what prompted you to introduce Geoffrey's face to a wall at the art gallery?
Sonny: I told you already -
Kate: A physically unimposing man whose chief weapon is his -
Sonny: I lost my cool -- one of those things.
Kate: Big, fat, spiteful mouth. Geoffrey's too much of a coward to insult you directly, so I have to assume he was insulting me, hmm?
Sonny: Well -
Kate: Rumors were flying around the art gallery of my possible return to "Couture," and I know how Geoffrey's nasty little mind works. He was dishing dirt on me and probably said I was sleeping with Warren James to get my job back.
Sonny: You know what? I'm glad I rammed his head into that wall.
Kate: Damn straight.
Leo: Ahem.
Tracy: Well?
Lucky: How is he?
Leo: We were able to get his heart back in rhythm.
Tracy: Is he going to be all right?
Leo: We're going to have to run tests before we know if he sustained any damage to the valves I just replaced, so -- excuse me.
Lulu: What happened? I thought dad was doing better.
Tracy: This is what happened. Luke Spencer is what happened. Either he lives his life his way, or not at all.
Lulu: I basically grew up without either of my parents. I got real sick when I was little, and they divorced right after that. My mom had a mental breakdown, and my dad didn't want any part of being a single father.
Lawyer: Well, he did reach out to you, in his own special way.
Luke: Ask her about the ice fishing.
Lulu: He took me three times. I mean, the way he talks about it, you'd think it was this huge bonding experience, but we just sat there with our lines in the water. It was too cold to even talk. I think that's why he took me.
Lawyer: During the encephalitis scare at the hospital, turned out that your father had a natural immunity, and he agreed to let them draw blood to make an antidote, as long as you were given the antidote first.
Luke: She should've been first, but the -- the list got switched.
Lulu: I was glad for that. You were so afraid that I was going to die that you never left my side. You were the father that I always wanted. But he said that he never wanted kids, and he never wanted me. So I knew not to trust it. I knew it wouldn't last.
Judge: Does the defense wish to call any further witnesses?
Lawyer: The defense rests.
Luke: What about closing arguments?
Judge: There will be no closing arguments in my court.
Luke: Oh, give me a break, your honor. You know, you seem like a very intelligent, reasonable man. You're handsome. You know, the -- the distinguished robe and the hair and everything. It really works for you.
Judge: Thank you, Mr. Spencer. But your good taste is not in dispute. We'll go straight to the jury.
Luke: What jury?
Judge: How does the jury find?
Scott: Guilty!
Edward: Guilty.
Lesley: Guilty.
Mac: Guilty.
Carly: Guilty.
Nikolas: Guilty.
Skye: Guilty.
Alexis: Guilty.
Bobbie: Guilty.
Lucky: Guilty.
Lulu: Guilty.
Tracy: Not guilty.
Prosecutor: But you testified against him!
Tracy: I know. Now I'm testifying for him. Luke is not a perfect father. God knows he's not a perfect husband. He's a deeply flawed m. But despite all of those flaws, he has been there for each and every one of us. He would not condemn us, and we cannot condemn him. Not guilty.
[Lulu sighs]
Lulu: I -- I'm changing my vote. Not guilty.
Lucky: Not guilty.
Bobbie: Not guilty.
Skye: Not guilty. But not innocent by a long shot.
Alexis: Not guilty.
Carly: Not completely guilty.
Nikolas: Not guilty.
Lesley: Not guilty.
Mac: Not guilty.
Edward: Not guilty -- this time.
Scott: All right, all right. Not guilty, only because I want a good rummy around to insult.
Lawyer: Yes!
Judge: By unanimous decision, the defendant, Lucas Lorenzo Spencer, is found not guilty.
Luke: Thanks for the assist, wife.
Tracy: Thank god you're alive. Because now I'm going to kill you, you selfish son of a bitch.
Kate: Ok, now I'm going to order you a nice meal.
Sonny: Um -
Kate: What?
Sonny: Just, I got to say something. All this time, I've been thinking about you as Connie, seeing the Bensonhurst girl beneath the high-gloss finish, making fun of what you've accomplished.
Kate: Well, that's because you know me like no one else.
Sonny: Well, what I'm -- what I'm trying to say is that's what I'm -- I can see now that you -- it's not a put-on. You're -- you're the real deal. I mean, you're confident, you're smooth, you're smart, you're connected. The way you played those cops -- I mean, they -- they -- they didn't know what hit them.
Kate: I wasn't playing them. The detective and his wife will get their tickets, and the captain will get her photo session.
Sonny: What I'm saying is, you have the power to get whatever you want in your world, and -- now I can see why you're so determined to stay in it.
Kate: Any chance you might stay in it with me?
Elizabeth: 10th floor. Yes, she is. Epiphany, it's the Florida State Police.
Epiphany: This is -- this is Stanford Johnson's mother. How's my boy? Did you -- did you find him? Is he -- is he o-- is he o-- no. There must -- there must be some kind of mistake. No! No!
Alexis: All right, so maybe I'm a little scattered. And maybe I left the door unlocked.
Jerry: No, no, no need to apologize. I mean -- but perhaps you can make it up to me.
Alexis: Hmm. How?
Jerry: By allowing me to buy you a drink to celebrate your nomination, and to prove to you that I'm not the breaking-and-entering lout that you imagined. Come on, one drink -- to celebrate the woman litigator of the year.
Alexis: All right.
[Jerry chuckles]
Alexis: One.
Jerry: All right. Oh. Excuse me. Excuse me, I have to take this. Hello? [French accent] How is that matter coming along?
Man: Stan Johnson's dead. It's confirmed. He won't be bothering you anymore.
Jerry: Excellent. Ok. [Normal voice] Shall we?
>> On the next "General Hospital" -
Felicia: I want to help you catch who murdered my daughter! Mac: We've got something. Johnny: I was sending a message. Trevor: You think Moreau would agree with you? Jerry: [French accent] Children need to be disciplined, don't you think? Carly: Is Sonny going to start a war with Johnny Zacchara?
Jan 5, 2008 12:54
Mac: What the hell are you two doing?
Lucky: Nothing.
Mac: Is the text-message killer in lockup? No. Is Sonny Corinthos doing 20 to life? No, I don't think so. Here's an easier one. Where is Georgie's autopsy report?
Det. Harper: Still with the coroner. I'll -- I'll go check on it.
Mac: Do that. And you?
Lucky: You know what? I'm going to go see if the lab has anything else.
Felicia: Let me help you.
Mac: You did. You came home.
Felicia: Maxie wishes I hadn't.
Mac: Give her time.
Felicia: Mac, it's too little too late.
Mac: Felicia, she is hurt and upset. We all are.
Felicia: I want to do something. You know I still have my P.I. license. I want to work this case around the edges. I want to -- I want to help you catch the psychopath who murdered my daughter.
Det. Harper: Mac. We may have another victim. A girl's been found strangled.
Trevor: I've been waiting for you all night. Where you been?
Johnny: Out.
Trevor: Can you be more specific?
Johnny: You're not my father. I come and go now as I please.
Trevor: No, John, you keep acting impulsively, somebody's going to get killed.
Johnny: You'd like to keep me locked up here just like you did my old man, wouldn't you? But you're forgetting the fundamental difference between the two of us -- he's crazy, I'm not.
Trevor: After that little stunt you pulled at his meet and greet? You think Moreau would agree with you?
Johnny: I was sending a message.
Trevor: Oh, he heard. The only problem is, kid, you take a swing at him, and Moreau is going to whack you back.
Jerry: Good morning, counselor. Hello, miss. So what's that you're not eating?
Kristina: Oatmeal.
Jerry: Ooh, oatmeal. I love it. It happens to be very good for you.
Kristina: Yuck.
Alexis: Are you finished? You're excused. Stubborn. Good thing she's too young to be on a jury. I'd never win a case.
Jerry: Yes, something she inherited, no doubt, from her mother, apart from her beauty. Ahem.
Alexis: So I find it hard to believe that you came over here to flirt with me or to check on my breakfast menu.
Jerry: Actually, you're not far back. I have a few incidental business matters to attend that I need your help to accomplish.
Alexis: Which brings the word "accomplice" to mind.
Jerry: Yes, but you don't mind, really. I mean, or you wouldn't be representing me for a dollar of confidentiality, would you?
Alexis: For your mysterious business venture.
Jerry: Well, I have perhaps -- some of that mystery might be rolled up in a rug in exchange for, let's say -- dinner for two?
Kate: Sonny?
Kate: Hello?
Diane: Oh -- Ms. Howard, thank heavens I caught you in. Hi, it's Diane Miller and this is a matter of life and death.
Jason: With Sonny gone, I'm just more tied up than usual.
Elizabeth: Well, I was hoping we could meet for dinner at the safe house. But it's ok. I'll just call the sitter and cancel.
Jason: No. No, no, don't do that. Let me -- let me see what I can do and I'll get a message to you.
Max: We just got word from our people down in Miami.
Jason: Mm-hmm.
Max: Stan's car was run off the road. Now, it doesn't appear that he was working with any of the families, which leaves us with the Zaccharas.
Jason: No, it leaves us with a lot of people, Max. Stan wasn't even working for us anymore. I mean, it makes no sense that the Zaccharas would try to take him down.
Max: Jason, why are you so slow to come down on the Zacchara kid? He's taken out a shipment, three of our guys, and he put a hit out on the boss.
Jason: No, somebody put a hit out on him.
Max: Look, all I'm saying is the Zaccharas have a reputation for violence.
Jason: No, Johnny's father has that reputation. Johnny shouldn't pay for his father's choices, Max. No kid should -- what, Carly?
Carly: I really need to talk to you.
Jason: No, I'm in the middle of something right here.
Carly: This is really important.
Jason: Max, just -- just give us a minute.
Carly: Thanks, Max.
Max: Mrs. C.
Jason: What's so important?
Carly: I need you to talk to Michael and stop him from turning into his father and ruining his life.
Carly: You know the action figures that Morgan's always playing with?
Jason: No really, but go ahead.
Carly: Morgan accidentally broke one of Michael's video games. So Michael went and took Morgan's toy heroes and his toy soldiers and he took a hammer and he literally busted their kneecaps. And when I asked him why he was doing this, he looked at me and he said it was payback.
Jason: I know -- look, Michael is going through a rough time. He's got to work his anger out somehow, Carly. I don't know what to say.
Carly: I am scared to death, Jason. What if Michael thinks this is how the world works? Tormenting his brother is one thing, but what if he's working out his anger in school?
Jason: Ok, I'll try to stop by later, ok? Sonny's out of town, I'm running things while he's gone. It's a little crazy here.
Carly: Thank you. Thank you. They would love it. They would, and they have another Christmas present to give you. It's supposed to be a secret.
Jason: Ok, then don't tell me.
Carly: It's an antique globe.
Jason: What's the hell's wrong with you?
Carly: Well, we found it when we were returning stuff back to the mall and Michael remembers me telling him that when he was a baby, you would read travel guides to him and show him all the places that you were going to take him.
Jason: Yeah. I do, I do remember that.
Carly: You know, I thought it then and I still feel it now. I don't know anyone who should be a father more than you.
Jerry: Stanford Johnson served his usefulness, thank you. He was never hired to be a permanent fixture. Yes. In the end, the growing risk of him tipping off Sonny Corinthos outweighed his surveillance skills. He never really knew what he was doing or that he was doing it for me. No, I'm so sorry, that he was doing it for "us." Except I'm the one taking all the risk here while you are what -- seeing just another pretty face? You're going to have to show yourself sooner or later, you know? Yes, tre -- yes, the product will get through. I realize what's at stake, but for the moment I'm less interested in the exorbitant amount of profit we're going to make than getting you off my back, so don't call me, I'll call you. Thank you.
Alexis: I'm so sorry. My daughter wanted to wear her Christmas dress sledding. I won that battle.
Jerry: Well, sometimes you have to pick your battles.
Alexis: Exactly.
Jerry: Well, that's why I hope you won't fight me taking you out.
Alexis: I already have plans, because I am going to celebrate after the awards dinner after I win litigator of the year.
Jerry: Well, congratulations. I mean, it's a pity there won't be anyone in the house cheering you on. I think I should tag along, don't you think?
Ric: That's not going to happen.
Kate: Congratulations, litigator of the year. Sounds positively prestigious. Oh, Diane, I hope you win. Although, I'm sure just being nominated is an --
Diane: Oh, please! A nomination is just some bone that the women's attorneys' association has thrown to four random shysters. I am the top dog and I'm going to walk away with that trophy. I just want to do it wearing something fabulous, absolutely fabulous that will make the taste of their sour grapes even more bitter.
Kate: Say no more. I'm sure that I can find something in the model room of "Couture" that will leave jaws both male and female hitting the floor.
Diane: Ms. Howard, you are a lifesaver, you are a goddess, and I will take the three of us out to whatever restaurant is in that week for cocktails.
Kate: "The three of us"?
Diane: You, me, and my "Litigator of the Year" award.
Kate: For a second, I thought you were going to say "Sonny." You haven't by chance heard from him this morning -- Diane? Hello?
Sonny: Good morning.
Kate: Ahem. Well, there you are.
Sonny: How you doing?
Kate: When did you sneak out?
Sonny: I was out about 4:00. I was feeling a little closed in thinking I was going into that cell, you know. The air in New York may not be clean, but it's air that I can be in, and you know why I can be in it? Because of you.
Kate: Yes, well, you wouldn't have been locked up if it hadn't been for my so-called boorish friends.
Sonny: Yeah?
Kate: Mm-hmm.
Sonny: Well, you know what? A lot of people in my business aren't very nice, either. So I ended up walking from one side of the island to the other, right?
Kate: Did you see anything that caught your eye?
Sonny: Nothing that compares to what's in front of me. You know what, though? I did get you something. Would you like to see it?
Kate: I would.
Sonny: Ok.
Kate: Hmm.
Sonny: You ready?
Kate: Yeah, I'm ready.
Sonny: Ta-da-dum some guy was selling them on the street.
Kate: It's from the movie we missed -- "An Affair to Remember."
Sonny: And we missed a lot of movies back in Bensonhurst even when we were in the theater.
Kate: Hmm, I don't really remember that. I have no idea how that went.
Sonny: You don't?
Kate: No.
Sonny: You want me to refresh your memory?
Kate: I think I need you to do that.
Sonny: Ok, let me do it, then.
Det. Harper: Some kid saw her in the back seat of a burned-out sedan in the salvage yard on Fourth. She had a phone cord wrapped around her neck.
Mac: It sounds like our man. All right, get a full team down there. I want a clean scene, no screw-up's.
Det. Harper: All right. I'm on it.
Lucky: Mac. These are from the lab. They're blow-up shots of the footprints we found. They're walking away from where they found Georgie.
Mac: What do they tell us?
Lucky: Make, model, shoe, tread design. Maybe if we had a size we could place a suspect at the scene.
Felicia: Unless they were taken immediately after they were made, you're not going to get any absolutes on the sizes. Tracks in the snow expand and contract with changes in time or temperature.
Mac: Excuse us.
Felicia: What? I'm trying to help you. What is it?
Mac: Felicia, sit down. I thought you had other obligations.
Felicia: My responsibilities to Frisco can wait. Georgie was his daughter, too.
Mac: You're too close to this.
Felicia: And you're not? Mac, the rest of my life I have to live with the fact that it took the death of one of my daughters to bring me home.
Maxie: It's a little late to be playing hero to Georgie or any of the rest of us, don't you think?
Luke: Oh, yeah.
Lulu: How is Luke Spencer doing? Is he awake? Can -- can I go in and see him? Oh, great, wonderful. Thank you. What are you doing to those flowers?
Luke: Hello, daughter. I was just taking a moment out to smell the roses.
Lulu: Chrysanthemums.
Luke: Whatever. I hope you're not here to give me grief over that one cigar toke I took. Tracy's already got that territory well covered.
Lulu: Tracy cares about you. And I know anybody caring about you makes you emotionally itchy, but you're going to need some help when you get out of here.
Luke: Yeah, that's what they tell me.
Lulu: Well, I'm glad. Between Emily and Georgie's funerals, I really don't want to wear black any time again soon, ok?
Luke: Ok. So, what's up with the serial murder investigation?
Lulu: Lucky's working extra shifts, as is everyone else at the PCPD. They really want to find him.
Luke: And speaking of homicidal maniacs, any recent Zacchara sightings?
Lulu: No, he's locked up and paralyzed from the mouth down or something.
Luke: From the mouth down? Oh.
Lulu: Oh.
Luke: Poor thing. What about his offspring?
Lulu: Huh. Well, you won't have to be worrying about me and Johnny. I'm through with him.
Luke: Good. Now I guess the only question is, is he through with you?
Johnny: That sit-down was supposed to be between me and Moreau. I shouldn't have to pass the inspection of his goon squad or any of the other families.
Trevor: Johnny, you are totally out of control. I specifically asked you to handle this affair with kid gloves, and what did you do? You turned around and used a baseball bat. This business is built on respect that is earned, and you lost it last night.
Johnny: If you would've seen the look in their eyes as I was walking out, you wouldn't be questioning me right now.
[Trevor chuckles]
Trevor: You know what that look was? It was fear, not respect. And do you know what men do when they fear? They do illogical, crazy things like your father.
Johnny: My father wasn't afraid of anyone. His big mistake was letting you keep him prisoner in his own home so you could manipulate him.
Trevor: John, your father was insane and he was either going to be institutionalized or kept at home, and I did the latter.
Johnny: You made decisions for this organization that kept my father's reputation of violence and ruthlessness alive and no one was the wiser. Let me ask you -- would you trust someone who could do that?
Trevor: I gave you totally rational advice last night, and you rejected it.
Johnny: Now that my father's as good as dead, I'm not going to let anyone run roughshod over me. Not you and certainly not this Moreau character. We're the ones who hold the reins on him.
Ric: Well, I don't have much use for psychopaths, but if Alexis wants to date you --
Alexis: I'm not dating him.
Ric: Then that's her business.
Jerry: Oh, well, since she has yet to rush to my defense, she's not my criminal attorney, either -- not that I have need for one, of course.
Ric: Oh, well, stick around Port Charles long enough, I'm sure as D.A. I'll find something, or because we all know you'll do something if you haven't already.
Alexis: I already have my plane ticket. I'm flying solo so --
Jerry: Let's --
Alexis: Thank you very much for the offer.
Jerry: You must decline. Yes, I understand.
Alexis: And I will go tell the girls that you're here to baby-sit. I will try to push that transaction through for you --
Jerry: Most appreciated.
Alexis: Hello? Hi, Kate! I have a huge favor that I need.
Ric: Listen, I don't know what your business with Alexis --
Jerry: That would fall under client/attorney privilege.
Ric: But if you even present the slightest bit of danger to either of my little girls, you're not going to be able to hide behind any laws or under any rock, even the one you crawled out from under.
Jerry: If I'm the psychopath you believe me to be, you should think twice about threatening me.
Maxie: Where were you?
Felicia: When?
Maxie: Pick a time. Any time the child really needs her mother. Georgie's successes, her failures, her heartaches. Let's be honest -- there was no mother of the bride when Georgie got married. No mother to turn to when she got divorced.
Mac: That's enough.
Maxie: How about a few weeks ago? Where were you then? Where were you the night Georgie died?
Mac: Maxie, stop.
Felicia: Sorry, Maxie. I'm sorry.
Maxie: While you were out saving the world, you lost both of your daughters.
Mac: You don't have to do this today.
Felicia: I've put off enough when it comes to my daughters.
Mac: So?
Felicia: Whoever left these footprints was wearing a boot, maybe even military issue.
Det. Harper: Mac? The girl we found strangled at the salvage yard?
Mac: Yeah?
Det. Harper: It looks like it was gang related, retaliation thing.
Mac: All right. Let me know when you have confirmation.
Det. Harper: I -- I also have these.
Mac: Leave them on my desk.
Det. Harper: All right.
Felicia: Are those Georgie?
Det. Harper: I -- I don't think you want to. These are autopsy photos.
Felicia: Leave them, please.
Mac: Felicia, you do not have to look at these.
Felicia: All the time I was away, you so graciously sent me pictures of my daughters. I would open up those envelopes and I would see how much they've grown and how much I've missed. I had myself fooled that I could get caught up, that in those snapshots they were big, monumental events and that somehow all those little events that happened in between really didn't matter.
Mac: Don't do this to yourself.
Felicia: It's the little things in life, Mac. Just like it's the little things in death. To catch a killer, the devil's in the details.
Mac: Make sure you're sure, Felicia. Because once you look, those happy little snapshots you have in your head of your little girl, well, they may go out of focus. Maybe forever.
Epiphany: I can finish my work. I'm fine.
Russell: Well, then you'll go home and you'll take as much time as you need. Epiphany, I'm so sorry.
Epiphany: Don't think I don't know who ratted me out.
Elizabeth: If there's anything we can do --
Nadine: Anything.
Epiphany: Can you get me my son back? I told him to learn how to be a doctor so that he could learn how to take care of people. He didn't even know how to take care of himself.
Elizabeth: Epiphany, please let me call Lainey. You need someone to talk to.
Epiphany: You know something? You're absolutely right, and I know just the person I'm going to go talk to.
Carly: I'll see you around 4:00.
Jason: Carly, I said I'll try.
Carly: Things aren't ok, are they? I know -- Jason -- look, I -- you know I'm thinking about getting pregnant. I don't want to bring a baby into a mob war. So can you tell me? Is Sonny going to start a war with Johnny Zacchara?
Kate: We should go to the top today. We should.
Sonny: What?
Kate: Or would that make you feel like a tourist?
Sonny: No, I just can't stay long, because it's not fair to Jason, you know. There's a lot happening right now, and I know there's a lot going on with us, too -- till you decided to leave me and my life. What are the chances of that happening?
Kate: Oh, of you staying here and having a life with me?
Sonny: No. Of me talking you into coming back with me.
[Kate chuckles]
Sonny: That your boyfriend?
[Kate and Sonny laugh]
Diane: Hi. I thought I'd save you the trouble of shipping the dress. Ok, business and pleasure. How convenient.
Sonny: Ok, Diane, what do you want?
Diane: You have two choices. You can either go home or go back to jail.
Jan 5, 2008 12:58
Lulu: Johnny Zacchara has made it very clear to me on more than one occasion that he wants nothing to do with me.
Luke: And what do you want?
Lulu: I already got my Christmas wish. You had the surgery for me. It would be very unfair if I went out and got myself shot or something.
Luke: I hear things are heating up between Corinthos and the Zaccharas. So I have two words for you -- "lay low," and don't get involved with anything like what's standing in the doorway right now.
Logan: Mr. Spencer. Good to see you feeling better.
Luke: Ah, thank you, Mr. Logan.
Logan: Can I talk to you for just a second?
Lulu: Sure.
Luke: Hey, hey, hey, hey. If you're going to abandon me for this neanderthal, the least you can do is get me something to ease the pain, like a nice, big chunk of Barbara Jean's coffeecake.
Lulu: Oh. Well, a very little, little piece.
Luke: Oh, I'm happy for crumbs these days. Life is reduced to crumbs. Ah, good -- thought she'd never leave.
Lulu: Forget something.
Luke: What'd you forget, dear?
Lulu: You know what -- oh.
Luke: How'd that get in there?
Lulu: Hmm.
Luke: And those, too --
Lulu: Yeah.
Luke: Hey, what -- does it -- I still get my coffeecake, don't I?
[Door closes]
Luke: Oh, drat.
Logan: Listen, I got to go talk to somebody about something. Can I come back and meet you in maybe an hour or something?
Lulu: Yeah, sure. I mean, do you want me to bring you back something from Kelly's?
Logan: Huh. No, just you. Ok? Yeah?
Lulu: Ok.
Coop: Hey.
Coop: Hey, are you ok?
Maxie: Yeah. Um -- I just needed a place to hide for a minute. This is good.
Coop: Well, I have to get down to the station, but I can call in.
Maxie: No, no. I'm going to be fine. Uh -- I really want you to find out who killed my sister.
Coop: I will, all right? I promise.
Spinelli: You know, wise Georgie would want you to be more careful.
Maxie: About what?
Spinelli: Look, The Jackal's already said too much, but I -- I just wish that --
Maxie: Spit it out, Spinelli.
Spinelli: When your loyal little sister needed my protection, I was negligent to my utter and eternal dismay. She confided things in me.
Maxie: You must be talking about her idea that Coop was the text-message killer.
Spinelli: Well, had she confided other things in me, she might still be alive today.
Maxie: Or maybe if you had the brains enough to realize how my sister felt about you, or maybe if my mom ever took five minutes to give a damn. Maybe if I wasn't so self-absorbed!
Spinelli: Um, this is most unwise. It will not bring wise Georgie back to any of --
Maxie: We have no right to go on acting like my sister did not die! She laid there, Spinelli, broken! Everything should be broken!
Lucky: Hey, hey, hey, hey, Maxie, Maxie --
Maxie: No! Get away from me!
Lucky: Hey, Maxie, Maxie -- shh.
Maxie: I just want to see my sister!
Lucky: Shh.
Lucky: Shh, it's ok.
Mac: We've got something. You got the warrant? Bring him in.
Felicia: Who?
Mac: Johnny Zacchara.
Trevor: We don't need to control Moreau. Only we want him to be our ally.
Johnny: My father would've made him our pawn.
Trevor: John, you don't get it, do you? There is so much more here than you understand.
Johnny: You're not in control anymore, Trevor. I am. And I'll handle Moreau the way I want to. I'm not sure we're doing business with the guy, anyway.
Trevor: We have to.
Johnny: No. You just want to so you can have more leverage and revenge against Sonny. I'm not sure I want to do business that way, either.
Trevor: Sonny is the enemy.
Johnny: Your enemy.
Trevor: Oh, god, are you green!
Johnny: I made it this far.
Trevor: Johnny, only because I saved your ass many times. Now, listen to me -- you're not your father and mother's little boy anymore. They're gone, and I am the only one who is left.
Johnny: I don't see anyone stopping you from walking out. Something tells me when those bullets start flying, you'll find yourself a nice, safe place to hide. Now, me -- I'm going to stand up and fight whoever I have to.
Diane: Geoffrey Lambere.
Sonny: Who?
Diane: The man you manhandled at the gallery last night?
Diane: He has filed for and obtained a temporary restraining order.
Sonny: So what?
Diane: So that means you cannot be within a 50-block radius of him, his residences, or his workplace.
Sonny: Well, that's easy. I just -- he stays away from me, I stay away from him, and everything's cleared up, great.
Kate: No, Geoffrey lives in Soho and his office is on the Upper East Side.
Diane: Which means that the entire island of Manhattan is off-limits.
Sonny: So fight it, Diane.
Diane: Geoffrey Lambere is very well-connected and I have a plane to catch. As I'm sure Kate told you, your attorney has been nominated for litigator of the year.
Sonny: Wow. I'll settle for you being litigator of the day.
Diane: When can I see my drop-dead-gorgeous dress?
Kate: Oh, Diane, Clarice had it sent to your home in Port Charles, along with --
Diane: Oh, well, that puts me in a bit of a time crunch. All right, let's go.
Sonny: Uh -- I got to go now?
Diane: Unless you would prefer to be accompanied by members of the New York City police department in their drab blues. I managed to convince a judge to allow me to escort you beyond the city limits.
Sonny: Can you at least give us a minute?
Diane: Fine, one minute.
Sonny: Yeah.
Diane: Thank you again, Ms. Howard.
Kate: You're welcome, Ms. Miller. Good luck.
Diane: Kate, luck has nothing to do with this.
[Door opens and closes]
Sonny: I'm sorry.
Kate: I'm sorry we didn't get our day.
Sonny: Yeah? I know. Come here.
Diane: Time's up.
Jason: I can't say what Sonny's going to do about the Zaccharas.
Carly: Someone tried to shoot Sonny at the Metro Court. I know he's going to do something.
Jason: We are going to keep you and the kids safe.
Max: Jason, I --
Epiphany: I need you to find out who killed my boy.
Ric: That package came for you, by the way.
Alexis: Ah! I knew she wouldn't disappoint me.
Ric: So where's Kristina? Is she not coming out to say goodbye?
Alexis: No, she won't come out of her room, so I had to say goodbye to her there. Isn't it a little early for the hormones to kick in?
Alexis: Consider yourself warned, buddy.
Ric: I know, I know. Well, listen, you -- come on, baby -- let's say bye to mama. You have a good trip, ok?
Alexis: So you're not going to say anything about Jerry?
Ric: Nope, nope. Already discussed it -- asked and answered.
Alexis: Ok. Good, because I walked in on you and Skye doing --
Ric: Mm-hmm.
Alexis: Whatever you were doing, and if you want to do whatever you were doing with Skye, it's really none of my business, so -- I mean, if we're going to co-parent, we need to trust each other's judgment.
Ric: Agreed. So in case the girls and I are asleep, when you win this thing, I just want to offer my congratulations in advance.
Alexis: Don't, don't --
Ric: No, you're a shoo-in. Hey, look how many times you beat me. And don't worry about anything. I think I got everything handled around here, so you don't have to call five, six, seven times from the airport.
Alexis: Ok. But my cell phone will be on all the time.
Ric: Good, but they're not going to hold the plane, even for litigator of the year. Give mama kisses.
Alexis: I have to say "bye-bye."
Ric: That's a girl. Yeah?
Alexis: I'll see you later? Love you, love you.
Ric: Ooh! You got some sugar. You got some sugar.
Alexis: Love you, I love you.
Ric: Get going, get out of here.
Alexis: All right, all right, I'm going, I'm going.
Ric: You'll be late.
Alexis: I love you. I love you, Kristina! Even though you say you hate me, know you love me, too!
Ric: Good luck -- you're not going to need it.
Alexis: You might.
Ric: I'm missing her, right? Of course not -- we're going to have a great time, see? Do you see that? You see the fire over there, baby?
Kristina: Where's mommy?
Molly: Mommy --
Ric: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Mommy left -- yeah, that's right. Hi, sweetheart. She -- I'm sorry, she just left.
Kristina: I'm hungry.
Ric: Ok. Um -- what -- what do you want?
Kristina: Waffles.
Ric: Uh -- all right, yeah, I can make waffles.
Kristina: I want my daddy's waffles.
Jerry: Non, non --
[Jerry speaks French]
Jerry: [French accent] I've managed to have our boats tread water for a few days, but if the Canadian coast guard spots them, it's pretty obvious that we're not fishing for tuna.
Man: So?
Jerry: So -- so I think it's time for us to hook our young Mr. Zacchara.
Trevor: Yeah?
Jerry: It's Moreau. I'm considering making alternative arrangements.
Trevor: No, not necessary.
Jerry: Well, if the young junior Zacchara's unprofessional behavior is any indication, I'm afraid we're going to have to take our business elsewhere. You see, the Corinthos organization is apparently more stable, both fiscally and mentally.
Trevor: Are you kidding me? Fiscally? Come on. Corinthos doesn't move your type of product -- we do. We'll sweeten the deal.
Johnny: How's this for a sweet deal?
Jerry: I'm listening.
Johnny: You need us, we don't need you. I'll call you when I want to.
Trevor: That was incredibly stupid.
Det. Harper: Johnny Zacchara? We need you to come with us.
Trevor: What is this about?
Det. Harper: The murder of the police commissioner's daughter.
Jason: Max, it's ok.
Epiphany: I'm going to take you at your word -- that Stanford wasn't working for you when he was killed. And Elizabeth says that you and my son were friends.
Elizabeth: Jason would never put anyone he cared about in harm's way.
Spinelli: Stone Cold -- I see you're entertaining a most eclectic gathering.
Jason: Not now, Spinelli.
Epiphany: "Stone Cold." That's how my heart felt as I listened to my baby's voice as he was about to die. Someone ran him off that road, someone from your world -- someone that's out of my reach. But you can get your hands on him. I want you to find out who killed my boy.
Spinelli: Uh -- formidable Nurse Epiphany? Stone Cold and his most humble servant, The Jackal, will do everything in their power to bring that heinous fiend to justice.
Epiphany: I'm going to hold you to that -- both of you.
Spinelli: Uh -- I'll be outside.
Elizabeth: Thank you for seeing her.
Jason: You're welcome.
Carly: Interesting that Elizabeth showed up for all of that. Don't you think?
[Door opens]
Max: Boss, you're back just in time. We got a situation.
Sonny: What have we got?
Jason: Hey.
Elizabeth: Hi.
Jason: Um -- I'm actually here to see Epiphany. I was going to tell her that I'm going to look into this thing with Stan, but she should know that she might not like what I find.
Elizabeth: Well, she's on break right now, but she's due back any minute. So if you'd like to wait -- guess there's no harm in you standing there, is there?
Flight attendant: Can I take that for you?
Diane: Oh, heavens, no. No, considering the airline industry's abysmal reputation for losing passengers' luggage, this is far too valuable to trust to an airline employee. No offense. No, I'm sure I'll just be able to make room for it on this seat next to me. Excuse me. Oh, yeah -- you see that? That is why it was so important for me to make this plane -- I am nominated for litigator of the year.
Alexis: So am I.
Lucky: I brought her down here before anyone called the police. I talked to Mike -- he's not pressing charges.
Mac: Thank you.
Felicia: Thank you.
Coop: Hey, I heard. Do you need anything?
Johnny: Somebody want to tell me what the hell this is all about?
Mac: New evidence. Even though she's dead, it looks like Georgie's going to be able to identify the text-message killer.
Trevor: Listen, I need to apologize to you for the kid's behavior.
Jerry: [French accent] I'm a firm believer that children need to be disciplined. And the best way for them to behave is actually to take away one of their favorite things. Don't you think?
[Muffled screams]
Mac: Forensics found skin cells under Georgie's fingernails. Jason: We can meet at the safe house later. Sam: Go ahead, go sneak off and see him. Carly: What do you want? Sam: It's about Jason -- and Jake's father.
Jan 7, 2008 11:33
Flight attendant: So you two were both nominated for the same fancy attorney award. Congratulations.
Diane: Well, thank you.
Alexis: Thank you.
Diane: It's recognition long overdue.
Alexis: Well, I appreciate you saying that.
Diane: I was referring to myself. Although, Alexis, it's still an honor just to be nominated.
Alexis: It's good that you feel that way.
Diane: And there's always next year.
Alexis: True.
Flight attendant: But in the meantime, we won't be able to take off with your garment bags in your laps. They need to go up top.
Diane: Oh. Well, I'm sure we can make room for mine right here while you squeeze yours into the overhead. I'm carrying an original Neela Llorente on loan from Kate Howard.
Clarice: This is all there was.
Kate: Well, fine. Then call the overnight company and find out how many cartons they misplaced, mishandled, or just plain missed.
Clarice: Right away. I can handle the unpacking.
Kate: Oh, doesn't it look like I'm handling it?
Clarice: Why don't you just call Mr. Corinthos and tell him you miss him?
Kate: Clarice, Sonny knows that I miss him, and if I say it, then he'll want me to come back to Port Charles and I can't. Then -- I don't know what I want to do.
Sonny: Who rearranged my desk?
Max: Maybe you should call -
Sonny: Who, the desk people?
Max: Ms. Howard? Looks like things didn't -
Sonny: Ok, somebody touched my stuff. Are you going to argue with me about that?
Max: No, boss. It's obvious that you're missing something.
Jason: Sonny's back, so we can -- we can meet at the safe house later.
Elizabeth: My sitter canceled. It's -- it's ok. I'm going to figure something out, because I need time with you.
Jason: Yeah, me, too.
Kelly: Carly? Are you ready for your appointment?
Carly: Yeah.
Jason: I know that it can't make up for New Year's Eve.
Elizabeth: It's ok. I still have the champagne.
Jason: Good.
Elizabeth: Good.
Logan: Excuse me -- I'm looking for Scott. Have you guys seen him? What are you in here for, or should I say what are you in for this time, hmm?
Mac: Suspicion of murder -- my daughter.
Johnny: You got nothing on me. Mac: Forensics found skin cells under Georgie's fingernails. It looks like she fought off her attacker. We match those cells to someone's D.N.A., we have our killer.
Det. Harper: Come on.
Maxie: If you killed my sister, I hope you get the chair.
Det. Harper: Let's get a sample of your D.N.A., tough guy.
Mac: Back in the interrogation room.
[Maxie sighs]
Mac: You want to tell me what happened at Kelly's? Lucky says you trashed the place.
Maxie: I'm sorry. I don't have anything to say while she's in the room.
Kelly: Sorry about that call. I suddenly had a herd of pregnant patients.
Carly: Oh. I wish I were one of them.
Kelly: I'm sorry.
Carly: I saw this in a store window and I couldn't resist. They're giraffes.
Kelly: Hmm.
Carly: And when Michael was little, Jason got him into giraffes. Crazy, huh? Buying baby things when I'm not sure if I can ever have another one.
Kelly: It's positive thinking. The trick will be to keep being positive.
Carly: You're right. I'm a lot of things, but I'm not a quitter.
Carly: I will try one more time on my own. I'm a woman who usually gets what she wants. Who knows -- maybe I can will myself pregnant.
Jerry: There he is, the ever-blinding white knight. Be careful of that damsel -- she created her own distress. It appears Maxie has had a meltdown.
Jax: Well, who can blame her? Georgie saves Maxie from being killed and then winds up being the next victim. I was looking for you. I'm wondering why you're walking away from a sure thing, Jerry.
Jerry: You mean your proposal to do business together -- you know, to make the world a better place for our children?
Jax: Huh. You say that like it's a bad thing.
Jerry: Oh, well, it's -- you know, it's very noble and grand and wonderful -- you know, the very characteristics of a mother's favorite son. But, you see, funny enough, these are not the traits I've been accused of possessing.
Jax: Well, you keep saying you've changed.
Jerry: And you want proof?
Jax: No, I want to ensure it.
Jerry: No, no. My reputation would undermine your cause, you know?
Jax: Why don't you let me worry about that? Take another look at my proposal, Jerry.
Jerry: Well, I have my own venture to hatch, as it were.
Jax: Really? Well, that's wonderful. Let me have a look at your venture and I can help you.
Jerry: No, no, no, not this time. I mean, some opportunities are so good that some people -- you know, beneficent, younger, well-intentioned brothers -- might want to butt in, so -
Jax: Or the police.
Jerry: Oh, my god -- I mean, your lack of faith is clearly showing.
Jax: So is your lack of persuasion.
Jerry: Then let's call it a draw.
Jax: My offer still stands, Jerry.
Jerry: As does my appreciation and my personal declination, brother.
Ric: I'm not going to argue with you. Look, Molly's taking her nap, honey.
Kristina: Molly's a baby.
Ric: I know, but babies aren't the only people that take naps. Daddy Ric takes naps all the time.
Kristina: Molly got to play with blocks!
Ric: Ok, I know, and I know you want to go to the movies, but we've been through this a thousand times, sweetheart. Molly's too little to go to the movies, ok? She gets scared in there and it's dark. I mean, I have to watch both of you, so we are staying right here at home, ok?
Kristina: My real daddy would take me.
Ric: Well, your real daddy's not here right now. Sonny's a -- he's a busy man. Look, your mommy asked me to watch you. Can we try to make it fun, hmm? Can't you think of something that we can all do right here to have fun together, huh? Huh? Nah, she's nothing like her father. Oh, boy. Yeah, it's me. Yeah, hi. Oh, nothing -- I've just been held in contempt by a 6-year-old. I need your help.
Diane: When did you talk to Ms. Howard?
Alexis: Kate? Oh, this morning. Her assistant Clarice was going through the "Couture" model room when I called, so it was just a happy coincidence.
Diane: "Happy"?
Alexis: Yeah. It puts a new spin on attorney/client privilege.
Diane: Are you still representing Ms. Howard -- Kate, Kate?
Alexis: She likes me. Mint?
Diane: No, thank you. She likes me, too, you know.
Alexis: You think? Hmm.
Diane: Ahem.
Alexis: Off the record --
Diane: What?
Alexis: All I'd have to do is file a motion, she sends me a new pair of shoes. I've got a whole closet full of them.
Diane: Can I get a cocktail?
Flight attendant: Once we take off. You know, is it possible for you ladies to place your garment bags up in the overhead like I asked? Thank you.
Diane: Well, someone in the service industry got off on the wrong side of the food cart.
Alexis: Yeah, I'll say.
Diane: Look, Alexis, I hate to bring this up, but I get slightly claustrophobic on airplanes, so could you lean toward the window? Ahem.
Alexis: I'm already closer than I want to be -- to the window. Heights.
Diane: Oh. Oh. Well, maybe we -- we could switch.
Alexis: You're kidding, right?
Diane: Uh-uh, no.
Both: Which way are you going?
Alexis: I'm going --
Diane: Which way are you going?
Alexis: Uh -- ok, just --
Diane: You know what?
Alexis: Just go.
Diane: Hey, ho, ho, ho!
Alexis: Just fit in there. Get in your seat.
Diane: Ok, ok, Alexis!
Alexis: Drama out of everything. Let's go. Oh -- excuse me.
Flight attendant: The sooner we are all in our seats, the sooner we can all make it to Philadelphia. Do you need assistance?
Alexis: No, we're good. Just don't touch my stuff.
Diane: Oh, stop it.
Flight attendant: Do you need -
Diane: I just need a cocktail.
Flight attendant: And, you know, those garment bags are yet to be properly stowed.
Diane: Ok, now you're leaning toward the window.
Alexis: I'm trying to stay out of the way of the aisle. They run their carts through there. I don't want to lose a hand. I'm going to need it to accept my award.
Diane: I'd be happy to accept it for you -- hmm --- except I'm going to be the one winning.
Flight attendant: You know, you two are really working my last nerve.
Clarice: Did you see this? "Special Delivery." Uh -- is that an original Rinaldi?
Kate: Hmm, from the art show. Sonny bought it for me. Bold and impressive, isn't it?
Clarice: The painting or the gesture? What's it called?
Kate: "Absence." And I feel it.
Clarice: Then do something about it.
Felicia: Maybe you should see someone. If you won't talk to me, if you won't talk to Mac, maybe you should talk to somebody else.
Maxie: Great, yeah. That's a great idea. So, who would I talk to about getting my sister back? Georgie -- you do remember her, right?
Felicia: I do. And if it makes you feel a little bit better or hurt a little bit less, you can hate me all you want.
Maxie: Thank you, but I really don't need your permission for that. If we're done here, I need to get a head start on my community service for my big crime spree. I'm due for my volunteer shift at the hospital.
Coop: Oh. Careful -- everyone's tracking in snow and mud. I don't want you to get hurt. I'll keep an eye on her, all right?
Logan: Hey.
Scott: Hey.
Logan: Dad, how you doing?
Scott: Good.
Logan: Listen, uh -- I need a favor.
Skye: See, dreams are just like blocks -- they come in all different shapes and sizes, and you can take one at a time and build it way up high, and when you're done, you get the life that you want.
Kristina: But there's no more.
Skye: Well, that's why you need more dreams. And I think you should take that nap and when you wake up, you'll get to build more.
Kristina: To the sky?
Skye: Oh -- to the moon! Oh, I know working on those dreams is pretty tiring, isn't it, so how about that nap, huh?
Ric: I'll make dinner when you wake up, ok, honey?
Skye: Good dreams.
Ric: You made that look easy.
Skye: Comes from having an overactive imagination. Product of a horrible childhood. I found ways to entertain myself. Just when I thought things couldn't possibly get any worse, I find a way to make myself feel a little better.
Ric: Where were you when I was 6?
Skye: Well, when she wakes up, if she asks, just take a couple of blocks and say they came from her dreams.
Ric: Why don't you stick around for a while? You can tell her yourself.
Diane: Oh, I remember when airline travel was still special.
Alexis: In the 1930s?
Diane: I'm talking about the late 1960s when I was a child.
Alexis: Huh! Diane: Oh, the giddy anticipation I would feel as a wee tot ready to defy gravity and land someplace exotic.
Alexis: I don't think going to Philadelphia has ever been considered "exotic," Diane.
Diane: I'm talking about the whole travel experience. You know, the planes were always filled with interesting people -- not every Tom, Dick, and Harry with a maxed-out credit card ready to head for the beach with a beer in their hand. Oh! The seats were roomier, there were cocktails. Dinner service. Now, they just toss a bag of dried crumbs at you like you're some starving squirrel. Well, I have my own way of dealing with today's airline travel.
Alexis: What?
Diane: I will see no evil, you will hear no evil -- ahem.
Diane: And if we can both speak no evil, we'll be fine. Ok, you're on my side.
Alexis: I'm sorry -- I can't hear you.
Diane: You're on my side.
Alexis: How do you know that I'm on your side? I'm not even touching you and you've got those blindfolds on.
Diane: Sky mask. And I feel you encroaching into my space.
Alexis: Oh, you're that sensitive to motion?
Diane: I am. Alexis: Then how come you don't know that we haven't even taken off the ground yet?
Elizabeth: Hi, it's Elizabeth Webber again. I really, really need a babysitter. I'll -- I'll pay you double if that helps. Can you just call me back? Thanks. Bye.
Sam: If you're looking for someone to watch the kids, I -- well, I'm sure Lucky would bring them over to my place.
Elizabeth: There is no way in hell I'm letting you anywhere near my children.
Sam: You always say that like you've had immaculate conceptions, and, boy, don't we know that's not true.
Elizabeth: If you've come here to harass me, you can leave now.
Sam: Look, I know you think that the whole world revolves around you, but I did come here to support my cousin because he has tests being run. Sorry. They are Lucky's kids, too -- at least that's what you want the rest of the world to think, right?
Elizabeth: Well, he can see them whenever he wants -- except when he's with you.
Sam: Well, that might be a problem because Lucky and I do enjoy each other's company -- a lot, actually.
Elizabeth: Then I guess he's going to have to choose -- his boys, or a lying slut.
Sam: Come on, Elizabeth -- who are you kidding? You can't give Lucky ultimatums. You need to keep using him so you can hide Jason's son. I mean, that is what you're doing, right? Using Lucky so nobody snatches Jason's baby for collateral? I just can't figure out how you're fitting Jason into all this.
Elizabeth: I'm not. We all agreed.
Sam: Right. Like you would be content with that after destroying everybody's lives just to get your claws into him. What do you do? Huh? Do you sneak around and see him? Hmm. Because if you ever think that you're going to come first in his life just because I'm out of the picture, think again. Because Jason is married to his work, or else he would have the freedom -- no, I'm sorry, my mistake. He would have the guts to claim his child out in the open. So, I'm sorry. I'm -- I'm sure that puts all your little fantasies to rest, so go ahead. Go sneak off and see him. Like I said, if you need a sitter, Lucky and I are available.
Elizabeth: Well, that's not going to happen, and you know what else isn't going to happen? You and Lucky winding up happy together, or you interfering in whatever Jason and I feel for each other. So, go ahead, Sam -- do your worst.
Sam: Watch out. I might take you up on that.
Elizabeth: Hello?
Elizabeth: You -- you're not going to cancel on me, are you? I -- I still don't have a sitter, but I'm working on it.
Jason: It could be tight. Sonny's got a problem he needs to deal with.
Carly: Hi.
Jax: Hey. I thought we were just having lunch.
Carly: We are.
Jax: I brought your favorites -- B.L.T.s and potato salad.
Carly: Thank you, but I thought we could go right to dessert.
Jax: Really?
Carly: Mm-hmm.
Jax: What -- hold on a second.
Carly: What?
Jax: What's going on here?
Carly: Kids are in school, our schedules are clear, we're in love, we're married. Do you want to keep asking questions or you just want to -
Jax: No, come on.
Carly: Oh.
Sonny: Whew.
Jax: Hey.
Carly: Hey. Why aren't you in school?
Sonny: Tell her.
Michael: I beat up some kid.
Carly: Why?
Sonny: Tell her why.
Michael: He called dad a "gangster."
Kate: Oh. I know that I have pages of notes in here somewhere. I wanted to do a layout in the fall. I matched models with designers and photographers. Ha-ha, there it is. Oh, and here is something else almost equally as important.
Kate: You want me to do something about missing Sonny? Fine -- drop everything -- I have an errand for you to run.
Jan 7, 2008 11:36
Sonny: Is this a bad time?
Carly: No.
Jax: No, it's -
Michael: Can I just go up to your place tonight?
Sonny: No, you can't. Sit down, right there.
Carly: I want to know every single thing that happened.
Michael: I told you. Somebody said something lousy about dad, and so I popped him in the mouth so he'd be quiet.
Carly: You think that's acceptable behavior, Michael?
Michael: So you're saying it's ok for Wally "The Pill" Polanski to trash dad?
Sonny: Michael, we already had this talk.
Michael: And now I've had it with Wally.
Sonny: It's -- you know what? It's not ok for you to hit somebody just because you don't like what they say.
Michael: What do you do?
Sonny: Ok, what I do and what you do are two different things.
Michael: Why?
Carly: Because we say so, that's why.
Jax: It's been kind of rough on you losing Emily and Leticia, hasn't it?
Michael: Yeah -- what's that got to do with this?
Jax: How would you feel about Morgan getting into fights?
Michael: He's too little.
Jax: No, he -- he doesn't know that. See, you've been around a lot longer, and he's going to think that you know the right thing to do.
Michael: So, I should set an example so he doesn't get hurt?
Jax: So nobody gets hurt.
Michael: But he called dad -
Carly: There are no "buts," Michael.
Jax: Sure there are. I mean, it's great that you want to defend your dad. That's -- that's great. But the best way to do that is to not dignify anything bad that anyone says about him, or you, or anyone else, for that matter. Do you understand what I'm saying?
Michael: Yeah.
Carly: And?
Michael: I'm sorry.
Sonny: Ok, I'm going to take him home. Thank you, guys. Let's go.
Michael: All right.
Carly: There's punishment to follow this, you know.
Sonny: You hear your mom?
Michael: Yes.
Carly: Hmm.
Jax: I'm sorry, I -- I hope I wasn't out of line, you know? I love Michael to death, but he's not my son.
Carly: Any little boy or little girl would be so lucky to have you as a father.
Jax: Oh, thank you.
Jax: Now, where were we?
[Carly giggles]
Carly: No, no -
Jax: Hold on.
Carly: No, no, no, no, no!
Jax: It'll be one -- just one second. It won't take long. This is Jax. Yeah. No, no, no, don't do anything. I'll be right there.
Carly: You're not leaving.
Jax: It's a management emergency at the Metro Court. It's either you or me.
Carly: That'd be you.
Jax: Ok. Don't go anywhere, ok? Just sit right here.
Carly: Right here.
Jax: I will be back as soon as I can.
Jax: I promise.
Carly: Bye.
Jax: Bye.
Skye: You know, it's snowing. I should probably go.
Ric: Oh, and I thought I'd bring something to you to convince you to stay. A little hot chocolate, marshmallows?
Skye: Oh. How can I say no to at?
Skye: Hmm. Although I have to admit, I feel like a teenage babysitter having her boyfriend over. Don't get weirded out. I was just using the b word as a metaphor.
Ric: You must have broken a lot of hearts.
Skye: I'd like to think I didn't stop. Although I do hope that my taste and judgment have matured, I'd like to think that it's going to take more than a class ring and a fast car to win me over.
Ric: You saw the convertible in the driveway, right?
Skye: We're not kids anymore.
Ric: No, no, we're adults. Wee much more in control of our destinies now.
Skye: Are we?
Ric: Well, at least we have to be wiser.
Skye: You're losing ground now.
Ric: Ok. Would you at least settle for the fact that we're more realistic?
Skye: Fatalistic, perhaps.
Ric: There was no fatalism in that little speech that you made to Kristina about hopes and dreams.
Skye: Why spoil it for her?
Ric: Why spoil it for us? Unless I miss my guess, there is a genuine adult attraction here, hot cocoa and chocolate moustaches aside.
Skye: No, you aren't mistaken.
Ric: As an added bonus, I have my own place. You know, we don't have to worry about parents coming home and catching us at the wrong time.
Skye: Is this the wrong time?
Ric: Definitely.
Skye: Then kiss me.
Logan: I'm here for a job, but being a cop is not the best idea for me.
Scott: Well, look, if you're worried about your past, I can clean it up.
Logan: It's not -- it's not about my past. It's not about where I've been, it's about where I may need to go. Being a cop comes with certain set of rules. I'm just worried if I get into a fight, do I really want to do it with one hand tied behind my back?
Scott: Well, let me see what I can find.
Logan: Thank you.
Mac: What are you looking at?
Felicia: Oh, the photos that Lucky brought in that had the footprints in the snow -
Mac: Right.
Felicia: Around Georgie's body -- where are those?
Mac: Oh -- they're over here. Why?
Felicia: It's the print. The logo -- looks like dice.
Coop: You sure you're going to be ok here?
Maxie: Yeah. You bringing me helped. Being around you makes me feel safe, you know? It's kind of a funny thing to say to someone who once held me hostage. Ok, I'm sorry. I know you don't like talking about that stuff, but your secrets are safe with me. I'll see you later.
Logan: Hi. Hey. Have you seen Lulu? She was getting something at Kelly's, she was going to bring it to her dad, and was supposed to meet me back here.
Elizabeth: Well, have you checked Luke's room?
Logan: No, not there.
Elizabeth: Well, I haven't seen her, and I really have to go. I'm sorry.
Sam: Hey.
Kelly: Hey.
Sam: I found this on the floor, and I thought it might be from one of your patients.
Kelly: Oh. Carly had it with her today. She must have dropped it.
Sam: Really? Well, you know, I'm actually going over to Carly's house to see Jax about a show that I'm doing, so maybe I could just bring it back to her.
Kelly: Yeah. I'm sure she'd appreciate that.
Sam: I'm sure she will.
Max: Special courier, New York City.
Kate's voice: "You said Rinaldi ripped off your son's artwork. Well, I found this in some papers. Morgan painted it for me last summer. I guess I'd have to agree."
Clarice: Special delivery, Port Charles.
Kate: Oh. It's heavy.
Clarice: Maybe it's his heart. I'll be at "Couture."
Sonny's voice: "It's just a chunk off the wall between your place and mine. The rest of it's still there, but at least we got an opening."
Elizabeth: You made it.
Jason: It's -- it's wonderful.
Elizabeth: Thanks. I'm messing around with charcoals instead of paint. But it's not finished, because there's nobody holding Jake. I was kind of hoping that maybe you could pose for me.
Skye: I used to love days like today. I'd curl up inside with a blanket, a bottle of vodka. As the snow got higher and higher, I'd get more and more plowed.
Ric: I'm sorry you had to go through that. From where I stand, you don't look any worse for the wear.
Skye: One of the benefits of making yourself numb -- self-preservation. But then life exerted its inevitable sobering effect on me, and I found that it's actually ok to feel something again.
Ric: How's that?
Skye: Nice.
Ric: And that?
Skye: Very nice.
Ric: You know, I had my day -- my share of ld winter nights and long days. Let's go outside.
Skye: Oh. Where it's cold?
Ric: No, just out on the deck, ok? The kids are asleep. We'll hear them. I just want to see the snow on your hair.
Skye: Hey -- are we starting something here?
Ric: Well, I hope so. Skye, I know that you could be good for me, and I -- I'd try my best to be good for you.
Skye: Hey, just so you know, I draw the line at building a snow fort, ok?
Ric: Ok, agreed. We've both built enough walls to last a lifetime.
Skye: Oh. Is that what you're after here? Toppling my walls?
Ric: Well, I just think that we have a lot more living that we could be doing. Join forces?
Skye: Ooh. You make it sound wicked.
Ric: No, I think it's more formidable. I think we could be very good for each other, Skye. And the fact that you -- you own Lorenzo Alcazar's piers would make it very difficult for anybody to get in our way.
Skye: Someone just got in our way. You.
Diane: Can you give me one good reason why this plane is not in the air?
Flight attendant: Like I said, you two have really worked my nerves, and I don't like my nerves worked on my flights, and I do not like people who can't manage to obey the rules, no matter how many times they have been laid out. Now, either take those garment bags and place them in the overhead bins, or ball them up and shove them in the seats in front of you.
Diane: I beg your pardon. These are Neela Llorente originals!
Flight attendant: I don't care if they're your Aunt Fanny's. Any questions?
Alexis: I have one. I don't mean to be redundant, but you still have failed to answer the question as to why we're still on the ground.
Flight attendant: We're too fat.
Alexis: Sorry?
Flight attendant: It's an expression we use. The plane's too heavy for us to safely take off.
Diane: Well, exactly how overweight are we?
Flight attendant: 200 pounds.
Diane: 200 -- you mean that small amount of weight on this gigantic plane makes that difference?
Alexis: That's ridiculous.
Flight attendant: F.A.A. regulations.
Alexis: Well, how long will it take to have this dealt with?
Flight attendant: Until it's dealt with.
Diane: Excuse me. Tempus fugit.
Flight attendant: Pardon me?
Diane: We have a destination.
Diane: We have a function. We are lawyers who have been --
Flight attendant: Who have been nominated for Litigator of the Year.
Alexis: Well -
Flight attendant: You know, I think everyone on this plane knows. So while your tempus fugits, maybe you can use it wisely and place those garment bags in the overhead bin. You know, I'm going to be the one needing a cocktail before this one's over.
Diane: Ok, excuse me, but I need just a little bit -
Flight attendant: I'm going to make an announcement to all of the passengers as soon as I have more information, not just to the special nominees.
Alexis: Just one minute.
Diane: Certainly.
Alexis: Correct me if I'm wrong, but this plane has been on the ground now, or parked at the gate for longer than we were supposed to be in the air.
Flight attendant: I am aware of the delay. So what?
Alexis: So, you have us packed in, cooped up in this sardine can with no food, no water, no source of entertainment, and that's an action that borders on -
Diane: Unlawful imprisonment.
Alexis: Good.
Diane: Thank you.
Alexis: Then you tell us that you've taken on too much weight, because you have undoubtedly overbooked this plane, a problem that you will solve by dumping the luggage of some unfortunate soul onto the tarmac where you will inevitably lose it, because you always lose the luggage. Don't they?
Diane: Mm-hmm, yep.
Alexis: They'll probably end up in Cairo or Bangkok or something, and you won't care.
Flight attendant: And what would you suggest I do?
Alexis: First of all, I'd like you to get my friend a gin with anything and everything.
Diane: And a twist.
Alexis: Yeah. Then I want you to find a way to lighten this load, to service these poor customers, and get this damn plane to Philadelphia, even if you have to push it!
Diane: Yes. See what happens when you make her mad? Brava. Not bad for first runner-up to litigator of the year.
Pilot: Excuse me. I couldn't help overhearing.
Diane: Oh. An ear witness.
Pilot: How much do you two weigh?
Diane and Alexis: What?
Flight attendant: Oh, I'd say about 200 pounds.
Pilot: Hmm. Will you both come with me, please?
Diane: See what you did?
Alexis: What I did?
Diane: What you did. You had to open your mouth.
Alexis: Open my mouth?
Diane: "Oh, I'm not going to win, so I'm going to be mad. I'm just going to get mad."
Alexis: You talk -- I can't believe you're saying this. Johnny: I don't care how many times Moreau has called. I'll get back to him about a deal or no deal on my time. Let him think what he wants. Like I already told him, he's got nothing we want or need.
Lulu: Let me go! Get your hands off me! Somebody, help me! Stop it! Let go of me! Hey! Let me go! Let me go!
[Lulu pants]
Lulu: Who are you?
[Jason sighs]
Elizabeth: Can you hold still?
Jason: I'm getting -- I'm getting hungry.
Elizabeth: All right. Just a second. Ok, I have some basics down. You can go now. No, uh-uh, not yet. But I need to know, can I draw this and leave it here?
Jason: Yeah. This is our place. Nobody's going to see it.
Elizabeth: Oh. I thought you were hungry.
[Doorbell rings]
Sam: Hi.
Carly: What do you want?
Sam: Oh -- um -- lose something?
Carly: Where did you find that?
Sam: Well, I was at the hospital, and I found it on the floor, and Dr. Lee said it belonged to you, so of course I told her I would return it to you.
Carly: Thank you. Goodbye.
Sam: You know, I had absolutely no idea that you knew.
Carly: Knew what, Sam?
Sam: And then again, of -- of course y know, because you and Jason don't keep any sects from each other, right?
Carly: I have no idea what you're babbling about, and I'm pretty sure I don't care.
Sam: The bracelet -- it is a present for Jake, right?
Carly: Why would I buy a bracelet for Elizabeth's kid?
Sam: Ok, no. Not even you can cover this good. I'm really sorry. I guess you don't know. Sorry. I'm sorry. My mistake.
Carly: Ok, I give. What's the game here?
Sam: Well, you know, it's called a game of secrets, and I think I'm going to sit this round out, so forget I said anything.
Carly: This is so like you. Causing trouble, and when you're not causing trouble, you're lying on your back. Thank god Jason dumped your sorry ass.
Sam: Oh, yeah, that's right. You know Jason inside and out.
Carly: I know him a hell of a lot better than you do.
Sam: Oh, I would doubt that at this point.
Carly: If you have something to say, say it.
Sam: Fine. It's about Jake's father.
Carly: What about Lucky?
Sam: No. Jason.
Jason: It's safer for Jake if no one knows the truth. Sam: Jake is Jason's son. Carly: He will tell me that this is a lie. Sam: Will he? Carly: Get out! Jason: Is this about you having a baby again? Carly: It's about you having a baby.
Jan 8, 2008 11:47
Ric: What's wrong? I thought the evening was going so well.
Skye: I know exactly where this is going.
Ric: It can go wherever we want it to, Skye. We're two very smart, powerful people -- think of what we could do together.
Skye: That's exactly the problem.
Alexis: If I knew we were going to drive 400 miles to Philadelphia -- do you even see that block of ice right there?
Diane: Yes, I see it, I see it.
[Tires screech]
Alexis: Do you mind? My back is already killing me.
Diane: It's because you don't have a good core workout regimen to keep you limber.
Alexis: I have two children -- they keep me limber.
Diane: You obviously need some serious relaxation techniques to avoid those stressors.
Alexis: There's a curve up there.
Diane: I see the curve.
Alexis: You're going so fast, I don't know how you see the curve. The only thing that's stressing me out is your driving.
Diane: Ok, someone needs to stop complaining right now. You are the reason we got thrown off that plane.
Alexis: No, the reason we got thrown off that plane is because I was defending your rights as an airline passenger.
Diane: Which, by the way, is the only reason that I took pity on you when this was the last luxury sedan in the rental lot. That, and the fact that I want to make sure you're at that ceremony to see me take -
Alexis: Slow down. Could you slow -- could you please slow down? I can't see the roads, and we need to find the road to get us back onto the highway -- that you got us off on and that we shouldn't have gotten off -
Diane: There was an accident, and I wasn't going to waste time.
Alexis: Like we're wasting time right now?
Diane: I have the navigational sense of a compass, missy.
Alexis: Right.
Diane: I am not about to miss that awards ceremony.
Alexis: Did you ever think that they just put you on that list to round out the program and make it fair?
Diane: No, that would be Carol Wingate.
Alexis: Oh, god, I hate her.
[Diane chuckles]
Alexis: She's an insufferable ambulance chaser.
Diane: Oh, no, no, no, you didn't hear?
Alexis: No. What?
Diane: Strictly a divorce attorney.
Alexis: No. No!
Diane: The woman could not litigate her way out of a paper bag.
Alexis: Well, we agree on that.
Diane: At least we know she won't be winning tonight.
Alexis: Hmm. Maybe it won't be such a bad night after all.
[Alexis giggles]
[Tire blows out]
Alexis: Ah!
Diane: Oh! Oh!
Alexis: What now?
Sonny: I need legal advice to get me out of a restraining order, and my lawyer takes off right now to win some fancy doorstop.
Max: Boss, it's a Litigator of the Year award -
Sonny: I mean, look, you know, I got to come back after a couple of days, what do I find -- excuses, loose ends. It doesn't end for me.
Max: It's an honor for her to even be nominated. I mean, Ms. -- Ms. Miller -- it's an honor for her to be -
Sonny: Max! I got shot at in the middle of a restaurant, Kate almost took the bullet. She finally ran right back to Manhattan. Do we have who's responsible, Max? No. All the money that I pay out, all the informants that I have on the street, working with the police department -- do we know anything? No!
Max: Not yet.
Sonny: I want you to find the bullet that ties the shooter to Johnny Zacchara, and I want you to do it now.
Trevor: Look, John, the night that Sonny Corinthos had that sniper fire at me in a crowded restaurant, he started a war. Now, we can win this war if we get an ally like Moreau. Now, let's sit down and negotiate with him.
Johnny: Negotiate by moving what?
Trevor: Anything he wants.
Johnny: I can't do this now, and you need to stop calling me about it.
Trevor: You put this gentleman off, and there are going to be consequences.
Johnny: Then I'll deal with them. Right now, I'm going to see my father.
Trevor: Why?
Jason: He looks so happy.
Elizabeth: You should've been there to share these moments with him.
Jason: We agreed. It's safer for Jake if no one knows the truth.
Sam: That's right, Carly. Jake is Jason's son.
Carly: You are so bitter that he dumped you.
Sam: No, he didn't dump me. He lied to me -
Carly: And you're so jealous of my friendship with him.
Sam: It is not a friendship. I am sorry, it's not, it's warped. You are a twisted, selfish, meddling bitch who can't stand the idea of Jason being with another woman, even if it's just a friendship. You have had it in for me from the start.
Carly: No, I saw through you from the start. How many beds did you bounce from -- Jax, Sonny, Jason? God, and to think you could've tied Jason down.
Sam: Oh, that's right, your poor, poor, godlike Jason. You were thrilled when you found out that I couldn't get pregnant because you knew what a son means to Jason. And now Elizabeth -- oh, holier-than-thou Elizabeth, who you just might dislike a teeny bit more than me, has given him the son he's always wanted. I mean, that's certainly something that you haven't given him. And he didn't tell you -- his big, best friend.
Diane: It's a blown tire.
Alexis: I can see that, Diane. If you had done what I asked you to do and driven slowly, this wouldn't have happened.
Diane: The tire was obviously defective. The mechanic at my auto club will confirm it.
Alexis: My mechanic would've said that you are a bad driver, that's what. Oh, my god, my battery is dead.
Diane: Forget your battery -- we've got no cell service anyway, wherever we are. Where the hell are we?
Alexis: Aren't you paying attention?
Diane: How could I pay attention, Alexis, with your incessant yammering? If you had just navigated -
Alexis: So now what do we do?
Diane: Now we change a tire!
Alexis: We are going to change the tire?
Diane: Ok, that suggests to me that you have never changed a tire before.
Alexis: Yeah, I've changed tires before. I just don't want to get dirty.
Diane: "I don't want to get dirty."
Alexis: Besides, you're the responsible party --
[Car chirps]
Alexis: You were the one that was driving.
Diane: I didn't hit anything.
Alexis: Just do something, will you, because I'm freezing.
Diane: Ok, the first thing we have to do is pop the trunk.
Alexis: There.
Diane: Oh. Good. All right, now, we just need the spare tire -
Alexis: And the appropriate tools.
Diane: Right.
Alexis: Now, they should be in there somewhere.
Diane: Yes, they should.
Alexis: Why aren't they there?
Diane: I don't know.
Alexis: This sucks. Don't touch me.
Diane: I just -- I just tripped. Stop it.
Alexis: Stop it.
Diane: Stop it.
Skye: I just went down this road with another man.
Ric: I am not Lorenzo Alcazar.
Skye: Yeah, well, from where I'm standing, there are plenty of similarities -- charismatic guy with hunger issues.
Ric: Lorenzo was ready to take your child away from you and make you a virtual prisoner.
Skye: Lorenzo loved me. In his way, he did. But his first love was power, it was an obsession -- just like you getting revenge on your brother is an obsession for you. Tell me, Ric, what part of your life isn't about that?
Ric: My daughter.
Skye: And who has her?
Ric: Look, I acted to protect Molly from my father's threats. That's the only reason that I gave custody to Alexis.
Skye: Who happens to share a daughter with Sonny.
Ric: Do you think that I would give up the most precious thing that I have in the world to me because I want to be closer to my brother's child just in case?
Skye: I think your whole relationship with Alexis is tangled up with some perverse pleasure of sticking it to your brother, that's what I think.
Ric: Unlike Lorenzo, there are things that I won't do, there are lines that I won't cross.
Skye: How do you know? How does anybody know? Ok, look -- I'm an alcoholic. I am addicted not just to booze. You see, I'm -- I'm drawn to you.
Ric: Yeah, and I you. And why can't that be a good thing?
Skye: Because, Ric, there are some things that I have -- something that you want, something that a lot of people want.
Ric: This is not about -- come on, you think this is -- that's all this is about, is the piers?
Skye: Whoever ends up with those piers -- whether it's Sonny or the Zaccharas or Trevor or you -- would have a lot of power in this town.
Ric: Yeah, Skye. We could hold that power together.
Skye: Yeah, but, you see, I'd always wonder if that's what you really wanted from me. And in the end, it would probably destroy us.
Elizabeth: Look -- he's holding the present you left him. Was this a bad idea -- bringing the pictures?
Jason: It's our son's first Christmas.
Elizabeth: Yeah, but it's a reminder of all the moments you're missing.
Jason: Whew. That's why I want to see him. I mean, even if I can't be with Jake, I need to know he's happy and safe and that I'm doing this for a reason.
Elizabeth: I couldn't be that strong.
Jason: You are that strong.
Elizabeth: I couldn't stand to be away from you.
Jason: I am not going to let Jake suffer for the choices that I made. No matter how much I love him, no matter how much I try to protect him, you know he would suffer.
Elizabeth: I don't want to believe that.
Jason: Neither do I. And neither does any father, but I see it -
Elizabeth: In Michael?
Jason: I look at Johnny Zacchara, and I worry that I'm looking at Michael's future. It makes me know I do not want that for Jake. It reassures me that I'm doing the right thing. And being here with you -- it makes it bearable for me.
Sam: It took me a little while to get over the shock, too. And with you and Jason being such B.F.F. and all, I'm sure the betrayal you must be feeling is, like, ugh.
Carly: There was a D.N.A. test.
Sam: And you think Elizabeth is above lying? Really? I was there the night Jake was born, I saw that baby in Jason's arms, I heard him say the words "my son."
Carly: And you kept it quiet all this time?
Sam: Not out of the goodness of my heart, trust me on that.
Carly: That's the truth, Sam.
Sam: It is all the truth -- every last word I can see you're being slammed by -- and they did look like quite the happy family that night. And there I was on the outside, there was Lucky on the outside, and here you are, Carly -- most definitely not as inside the inner circle as you think, huh?
Carly: All I have to do is go to Jason, and he will tell me that this is a lie.
Sam: Will he? Or is he just going to keep on lying? Because, after all, he and Elizabeth share something the two of you never will.
Carly: Get out!
Sam: Pleasure.
Alexis: Hurry up.
Diane: I'm going to kill you.
Alexis: Ok, ow! Now, you -- would you pick this up and get the directions out from under there, please? Thank you very much.
Diane: There fine. There you go.
Alexis: Now, it says you're supposed to lift up the car slightly so the tire's a little off the ground.
Diane: Ok, that's your job. I just brought the tire over.
Alexis: And if I hadn't read the owner's manual, there would be no tire. Come on, Diane, you're the one who claims to like to operate heavy machinery. Surely you can probably pick the car up on your own.
Diane: Fine, fine, fine. You know what? Let's see you do it.
Alexis: Fine, I'll do it! Ok, watch this.
Max: Boss, Jason still thinks it's a setup -- that Trevor Lansing staged the whole shooting to make it look like Johnny Zacchara was behind it all.
Sonny: Jason has been making excuses for Johnny -- you know, like giving him the benefit of the doubt like he's some confused kid. What do you want me to say to you?
Max: I think he just wants to make sure we got the right guy.
Sonny: Ok, Anthony Zacchara is paralyzed in lockup like some talking head of lettuce. If Johnny says "I'm in charge," then he seems like the right guy, doesn't he, Max?
Max: Look, Jason thinks that Trevor Lansing's pulling the strings. It wasn't Johnny's old man -
Sonny: Hey, I'm not doubting -- will you let me talk?
Max: Yes.
Sonny: I'm not doubting that Trevor, you know, may have something to do with it, but -- but Jason's not the only one thinking right now. I don't see Johnny begging for understanding. My shipment was taken out, two of my men are dead, you were shot in the arm. What do you want me to do -- wait for the next time that you're not so lucky?
Max: I hear -
Sonny: Ok, seriously, hear me. We got to find a way to hit back. Now, I gave Johnny a chance to be an ally. He chose to lie with dogs instead, so in the end, he's going to die like one.
Johnny: It's me.
Anthony: I know who the hell it is. I'm better than anybody thinks. I moved my foot today -- the left one, or the right one -- I don't know. Don't look like I'm crazy. I moved my foot. Where's your mother? Ask her -- she knows, she was here.
Johnny: Yeah, you're doing great.
Anthony: Don't talk back to me like you're the one in charge. It's me, I'm the one. I call the shots. If you don't think I'll get out of this bed and kick your ass, you're wrong. Your mother is too soft. So soft, beautiful. That's why I didn't see that she betrayed me -- chose you over me. Well, bitch is dead now anyway, and there's stuff to do.
John: Trevor's handling things.
Anthony: Yeah, he would. He likes that, likes to handle things. He wanted to "handle" your mother, if you know what I mean. But she knew, she knew who he was. You be careful. You're all I got left of her, of my Maria. You be careful of that scum.
Johnny: I'm not blind. I'm aware that Trevor has his own agenda.
Anthony: Yeah, more than you know.
Elizabeth: Oh, I wish we had more time.
Jason: Yeah, me, too. Look, if this is getting too complicated -
Elizabeth: It's worth it. I might even come by alone and work on that sometime.
Jason: I just don't want this to be unfair to you.
Elizabeth: It's not. In fact, it's the happiest I've been in a long time. And now, back to the real world.
Elizabeth: Uh -- absolutely not. Bobbie's given you too much candy already. Hi, pumpkin. Cameron Webber, you put that back right now, or there will be no trains for an entire week.
Cameron: But, mommy -
Elizabeth: Don't "mommy" me. Put it back.
Elizabeth: What are you doing here?
Carly: My go it's true. He's Jason's.
Elizabeth: Ok, you need to leave.
Carly: You have a choice. You can talk to me in front of your children and they can hear what I think about you, or you can send them off to bed.
Elizabeth: Cameron, it's time for bed.
Cameron: But I'm not tired.
Elizabeth: Now, please.
Cameron: Fine.
Elizabeth: Come on, baby. For god sakes, don't be down here when I get back. Come on, let's go. Come on, upstairs -- upstairs, please.
Diane: You are doing this deliberately.
Alexis: This is the legal speed limit.
Diane: Five miles an hour below the speed limit.
Alexis: Adjusted to the current road conditions -- there happens to be black ice all over the road.
Diane: You just don't want to see me make that ceremony. You just want to rob me of my moment.
Alexis: I'm not that vindictive, Diane -
Diane: Oh -
Alexis: Or that petty. Besides, I have the best incentive that I need to get us there on time and in one piece -- so that I can collect my award.
Diane: You obviously don't think you're going to win.
Alexis: Sure I do. I just don't have to keep saying it over and over again.
Diane: Otherwise, you wouldn't be slowing down even more.
Alexis: I'm not going slowly, I'm going the speed limit.
[Car sputters] Diane: Check the speedometer.
Alexis: Check the gas gauge.
[Car stops]
Diane: You're out of gas!
Alexis: I'm out of gas? You're the one who put the car in your name.
Diane: What kind of a person doesn't bother to check the gas gauge when they're driving?
Ric: So you think that's what this is all about, huh? That I'm just using you to get back at my brother?
Skye: Yeah, don't take it personally, ok? I have trust issues. I'd convince myself of the worst until, eventually, I would kill what's ever good between us.
Ric: I wouldn't let that happen, Skye.
Skye: Couldn't stop me.
Ric: Come on, I understand the need to self-destruct. That you don't trust that anything good is going to happen to you, and when it does, you destroy it -- I did the same thing with Elizabeth. I thought it was my last chance.
Skye: It still could be. You almost died at that party at Wyndemere. Your brother saved your life with that transfusion.
Ric: Not because he wanted to.
Skye: Would you do the same thing for him for any reason?
Ric: Well, you obviously have your doubts.
Skye: Well, I do now, since that was a yes-or-no question. You just tossed the ball back into my court without an answer.
Ric: Skye, it's too hypothetical.
Skye: It's maybe too telling?
Ric: Well, you suspect that I'm mostly unfeeling.
Skye: You know, I got caught up in Lorenzo's madness. I -- I knew he had genuine feelings for me, but they weren't enough, ok? He was still ready to take my daughter from me.
Ric: Well, is that why you turned your back at the right moment -- and let him die?
Sonny: Could you just tell her that Sonny called? Uh, yes, she knows my number.
Jason: Maybe you should just go back.
Sonny: No -- the situation with the Zaccharas is at a tipping point. How am I going to go back?
Jason: Sonny, I can run things.
Sonny: And then there's a restraining order from that weasel who -- it covers the whole island of Manhattan -- the island that Kate is scared to come back from.
Jason: Is it because of what happened at the Metro Court?
Sonny: No, it's because she knows that if she comes back, she's not going to want to leave. I'm more worried about her safety than she is about her own safety, especially now with everything going on.
Jason: We can still avoid an all-out war at this point.
Sonny: Listen. Zaccharas, the Ruiz family, Lorenzo Alcazar -- you know, it's our world. She doesn't fit in to my world, I don't fit into her world.
Jason: Then maybe you need to find somewhere you can be together.
Carly: I've been going back over the time since Jake was born -- even before how Jason was so attentive to you, played the hero. He's known for a long time, hasn't he?
Elizabeth: What does any of this have to do with you?
Carly: Besides the fact you used a baby to get your hooks into my best friend?
Elizabeth: If you're upset because Jason didn't confide in you, it's because he couldn't. He wanted to keep this a secret.
Carly: Jason wanted to keep this a secret?
Elizabeth: Yes. You know, we didn't plan any of this, Carly. He'd ended things with Sam, my marriage was falling apart.
Carly: Did you ask yourself why? Did you see this as a crisis? No, you saw it as a golden opportunity. You ran to Jason's bed so fast, you left a vapor trail. You took advantage of his kindness and his generosity.
Elizabeth: Oh, please. You treat Jason like his life is open 24/7 for your convenience.
Carly: You can't stand that we're so close!
Elizabeth: As if he had nothing better to do than deal with your petty differences.
Carly: I will make sure Jason sees you for who you really are.
Elizabeth: Grow up, Carly. We have a baby's welfare to consider, not to mention Lucky and anyone else involved.
Carly: You trashed your marriage because you slept around on your husband.
Elizabeth: Oh, this coming from you, the town whore?
Jan 8, 2008 11:50
Johnny: What did you mean about Trevor?
Anthony: I can move my foot. You want to see?
Johnny: I want to know what you meant about Trevor.
Anthony: Afraid, aren't you? Afraid to know I'm getting better.
Johnny: Doctors said you'd never get better, that you'd stay paralyzed from the neck down.
Anthony: Yeah, well, maybe I got a secret. Maybe I don't want anyone to know, just you. You're my son, not that miserable piece of garbage who thinks he runs things.
Johnny: Trevor?
Anthony: He's a taker.
Johnny: What do you mean?
Anthony: Watch me move my foot. Come on.
Johnny: All right.
Johnny: Go ahead.
Anthony: You see? I told you. Look at it -- I'll be dancing down the corridors before you know it!
Johnny: Right.
Anthony: Then I got to ask myself, what do I do when I get out?
Johnny: About what?
Anthony: About what? What do you mean, "about what?" About everything -- about Trevor, about Corinthos, and you. What do I do about you?
Sonny: I just got shot at, and we should be preparing to hit back, and you want me to take a vacation with Kate?
Jason: Sonny, come on, that's not what I'm saying.
Sonny: Well, "find somewhere to be together" -- I mean, I don't have the luxury or the time.
Jason: Well, you need to make the time, or you're going to lose her.
Sonny: What's been going on with you the past couple weeks?
Jason: What's with me is the people who want to be together should get to be together. In our -- in our business, in -- in our life, time isn't something you always get.
Sonny: This is -- this is about Jake, right? His first Christmas? We made choices, the people we care about shouldn't have to suffer for them. Ok? Now, I admit, you know, there was a time when the families -- the kids, women -- were exempt from all the violence, but that just went out the window with the Zaccharas.
Jason: Anthony Zacchara -- he's done, he's done.
Sonny: No, no -- no, nothing's changed because he's -- Johnny is following his father's footsteps, and he may be too weak to stand up to Trevor. Either way, we have to figure -
Jason: Sonny, either way, we're going to deal with this. Eventually, this is going to end. You don't have to wind up with nothing.
Elizabeth: Ok, you need to get out of my house.
Carly: You got pregnant on purpose, you hypocritical little slut.
Elizabeth: If that's what you need to believe to accept the truth -
Carly: Then you're all wishy-washy and scared about Jason's life!
Elizabeth: Then Jason and I will have something you never will. We made a miracle.
Carly: You made a baby -- any bitch in heat could do that.
Elizabeth: No, I gave Jason a son he's always wanted.
Carly: Yeah, and then you wanted him to keep it a secret so you could pull the wool over Lucky's eyes!
Elizabeth: Lucky just got out of rehab! That baby was the only thing keeping him clean and sober. I wasn't going to take that away from him.
Carly: Bull! You didn't want to tarnish your image as the angelical mother of two, and Cameron and -- "Jacob Martin." Huh. Wow. You are pathetic. You are just like a pathetic high school girl writing her guy's initials all over her notebook. You gave the baby Jason's initials? You claim to be working on your marriage, but it's pretty clear the guy you really wanted. And you rub Lucky's face in it -- no wonder why he found out.
Elizabeth: How did you find out?
Carly: Does it matter?
Elizabeth: Well, I can guess. There's only one person more vile than you who would take this information and do damage with it.
Lucky: Hey. It's the only thing I could think about the entire time I was at work. Oh. Hey, you ok?
Sam: Oh. I -- um -- I think I just hate myself sometimes. Ok, look, sometimes -- um -- I do and say things that a part of me wishes I could take back, but the other part of me is really glad that I said them.
Lucky: Yeah, you and the rest of the human race.
Sam: No, Lucky. I am not a good person. I'm not. I think maybe -- I think I was at one time, or -- or I don't know. Maybe I was just a survivor, or maybe I just had the good sense to keep to myself.
Lucky: Well, then I'm glad your good sense deserted you.
Sam: The trouble always starts when I let myself feel things better left to other people.
Lucky: Like love?
Sam: Yeah. And trust. And -- uh -
Lucky: Hey, do you really want to tell me what's going on?
Sam: No, you know, I don't. I -- I don't, not right now. I just -- um -- I want you to hold me.
Alexis: If you had bothered to check the gas gauge -
Diane: Why should I check the gas gauge? You were the one driving for the last 80 miles -- or should I say "crawling"?
Alexis: Driving at reduced speed saves fuel. If it weren't for your lead foot, we would've made it to the gas station. Tell that to your mechanic.
Diane: Well, you can just forget the mechanic because we still have no cell service out here in the middle of nowhere.
Alexis: There is no "middle of nowhere" between New York and Philadelphia, Diane. There's no countryside left. Even the deer are practically eating each other. Surely there's a strip mall somewhere.
Diane: Look. Look -- I see a light right over there.
Alexis: Good. Let's go.
Diane: Not without my Neela Llorente.
Alexis: Oh, we don't have time for the damn dress, Diane.
Diane: I am not going to be the one to tell Kate Howard that the dresses we borrowed were stolen -- probably to be worn at some canned cheese and venison tailgate party.
Alexis: Good point.
Diane: What's that for -- bears?
Alexis: Tailgate people.
Diane: Good point. All right, let me have it, I can defend myself.
Alexis: So can I.
Diane: I once dropped a 200-pound skinhead on P.C.P.!
Alexis: This is going to be an expensive trip.
Diane: Well, we're certainly not going to tell the rental company that I -- that we did that.
Alexis: We're going to lie?
Diane: Yeah.
Alexis: Good idea. Let's go. This way.
Alexis: Go!
Skye: Did you see how quickly Lorenzo's -- death reared its ugly head, Ric? Do you see how this would never work, why it's too dangerous? There's way too much we'd use against each other?
Ric: But I'm willing to take the risk, ok, I'm willing to take that leap of faith. Skye, I have no illusions about this, ok? I'm not -- I'm not looking for you to save my soul or make me a better person.
Skye: The way you did with Elizabeth?
Ric: Yeah, that's why we were doomed from the start. I was driven to do things that I never thought that I was capable of. I'm not going to make that mistake again, all right? I'd -- I'd rather be alone, ok? I'm -- I was content with being alone, Skye. But with you -- I see that I don't have to be.
Skye: This isn't just about me, Ric. I have a daughter, I want to protect her, and you should want to, too. And after all the damage that we would eventually cause each other, what would we be leaving them?
Ric: Look, can't you even at least consider the possibilities?
Skye: I have. Believe me, I have, and they are very, very attractive. But there are too many pitfalls, and one of us has to keep repeating the same mistakes. I guess that falls on me, huh? One of us has to end this vicious cycle. Who knows? It could've been wonderful, or it could've been a disaster. Isn't it about time we both went for a sure thing?
Trevor: Good evening, Ms. Quatermaine. Hi, Richard. Your office told me I could find you here. Where's your daughter?
Ric: She's sleeping.
Trevor: Oh, I miss her. Anyway -- look, I came all the way out here to tell you that there is possibly a new, very destructive threat that's going to move into Port Charles.
Ric: Translation -- you were unable to form an alliance with Johnny Zacchara, and this "new, destructive threat" may turn to Sonny, hmm?
Trevor: Look, Richard, I am only passing along very privileged information because you're the top cop in port Charles. And should you want to take on this threat and defeat it, you might build you -- you might build yourself a reputation and clean up this city.
Ric: Really? And all I have to do is ignore the dirty little corner that you want to set up shop in when you get your hands on Lorenzo Alcazar's waterfront property, right?
Trevor: Come on, Richie. Even as a little boy, you never understood that you always left a trail of dirt behind you and you didn't clean it up. In order to succeed, you got to tidy things up. But I believe you still have great potential in you. So, look, should you want to talk to Skye, tell her that I'm in a position to make her a very wealthy woman if she will sell all of Lorenzo Alcazar's piers to me.
Ric: Really? Well, I -- I don't think that Skye's interested in just that. I think she's looking for more.
Trevor: Don't derestimate a woman's eternal need for exotic wealth.
Ric: Yeah? And power, right?
Trevor: Richie, that goes without saying.
Ric: What about love, dad?
Trevor: Love?
Trevor: Well, love makes for a very good imaginary ending to one of your daughter's bedtime stories.
Ric: That's sad.
Trevor: It's reality, Richie.
Carly: You didn't want Jason a his dangerous life around your baby, so you took him away. You took Jason's son away from him.
Elizabeth: No, it was Jason's idea to give up Jake.
Carly: No way, he would never give up his son.
Elizabeth: He did what he thought was best for him.
Carly: He would never give up his child unless you whined and cried about it!
Elizabeth: Jason actually put somebody else first.
Carly: You know, you're unbelievable! You get him into bed, and then you talk him into keeping this secret -- even from me.
Elizabeth: That's what really bothers you, isn't it -- that you were left out of the loop? Huh.
Carly: You pulled this off well. I'll give it to you, but now that I know, the farce is over.
Alexis: Oh -
Diane: I see a light in the distance. It can't be that far -- whatever it is.
Alexis: A nice cottage, with a kind, elderly schoolmarm.
Diane: Ok. See, now, I'm hoping for a cabin, built by its strapping, hunky, desperately lonely, possibly well-educated owner.
Alexis: Maybe he's got a brother.
Diane: Maybe they're both mute.
Alexis: It's so much better when they don't talk.
Diane: It's just possible that heaven awaits!
[Rock music plays]
Diane: You see? Tire iron was a good idea after all.
Singer: It takes some time
Johnny: I got the Trevor situation under control. He needs me.
Anthony: He needed me, too, didn't matter what condition I was in. He's a taker and a pusher. Pushing, pushing, always pushing.
Johnny: You're rambling.
Anthony: Maybe you just try to follow. Did I tell you I can feel my foot? I can make it move.
Johnny: Yeah, you did. See ya.
Sam: Hold on. Oh, what do you want?
Elizabeth: You had to do it, didn't you? You had to go and make trouble.
Lucky: What's going on?
Elizabeth: Sam went to Carly and told her that Jake is really Jason's son.
Jason: No. No, I just want to know where Johnny is at all times, ok? Nobody makes any moves at all. Keep me posted.
Carly: I need to ask you a question.
Jason: What, is this about you having a baby again?
Carly: No, it's about you having a baby -- with Elizabeth. Is it true? Is Jake your son?
Skye: I have a proposition for you. Diane: If we just act like we fit in, what could happen? [Glass shatters] Lucky: You told her that Jake isn't mine? Carly: Did you have a baby with Elizabeth and not tell me?
Jan 9, 2008 10:03
Alexis: We should leave.
Diane: If we run, we look like prey. If we just stay and act like we fit in, what could happen?
Man: I will kick your --
[Man grunts]
[Glass shatters]
Epiphany: You missed an entire section here. You know, people fought so that you could have good wages and good benefits. The least that you could do is take some pride -- you know what? Never mind.
Lucky: You went to Carly, of all people, and told her that Jake isn't mine, that Jason is his father?
Elizabeth: And now you know exactly the kind of vindictive trash you've taken up with.
Jason: Where -- where did you hear about this?
Carly: Is it true? Did you have a baby with Elizabeth and not tell me?
Jason: Yes. Jake is my son.
Man: Move it!
[Object falls]
Alexis: Do you think we could use your phone?
Bartender: Phone's for paying customers. You looking to buy something?
Man: Or sell something?
[Men chuckle]
Diane: I'll have a dirty martini.
Bartender: All right, there you go.
Diane: Or a beer. I don't suppose there's a glass to go with that?
Man: You can put your lips right there on mine, sweetheart.
[Laughter]
Diane: Thanks anyway.
Man: You said you liked it dirty.
Alexis: There's really no need to be unfriendly.
Diane: Don't.
Bartender: Look, the man offered you his glass.
Man: Maybe she wants the shirt off his back.
Second man: I can be real friendly.
Diane: No -- uh -- look, I -- I'm sure there are any numbers of ladies in your hood who would be more than receptive to your charming offer.
Bartender: Wait a minute. Are you two an item?
Diane: No.
Alexis: No. Do you think we could use your phone now?
Bartender: Well, there's a two-drink minimum -- that means two drinks apiece. So what'll it be?
Ric: I didn't expect you to come back.
Skye: I didn't, either.
Ric: I'm glad you did.
Skye: You may not be.
Ric: Well, you were pretty adamant before about what a bad idea this would be. You change your mind?
Skye: Actually, I have a proposition for you.
Tracy: You are so busted.
Luke: How did you know? You -- you!
Cassius: What?
Luke: You ratted me out.
Cassius: No. Me, a dirty rat? No. Please. Uh -- although, I wish I had, because it looks like there would've been some perks in it for me.
Luke: Did you have a tracking device embedded in my ass in that last operation?
Tracy: Why don't you sit on your tracking device?
Luke: I am not an invalid.
Cassius: No, but you are a cardiac patient with a lousy platelet count and skin the color of chalk, so -
Luke: What do you know? You empty bedpans for a living.
Cassius: Comment like that -- that's funny. Uh, I tell you what -- if you collapse here on this floor, I'm going to be the one responsible for picking you up. So, how about you save us both some trouble and some heavy lifting and sit your butt down?
Luke: Oh, god.
Tracy: I can't believe you actually bribed the janitor into letting you escape.
Luke: Never underestimate the power of a good Cuban cigar. How did you find out?
Tracy: Never underestimate the power of a good weekend in Las Vegas. The maintenance staff had a pool going about who you'd bribe first.
Luke: I got to get out of here.
Tracy: You will, when it's time.
Luke: You can't stop me from having myself released.
Tracy: Watch me.
Lucky: Is this what you wanted to tell me earlier?
Sam: Yes.
Elizabeth: But you wouldn't have told him if I hadn't shown up. You were going to hold out for as long as possible till -- I don't know -- well, maybe Carly would get in some sort of fatal accident?
Sam: What, now -- now you have me wishing people dead? Come on.
Elizabeth: You knew this wasn't going away. You knew the second you told Carly, she'd be all up in my face, and she was. She was at my house, and the second she took a look at Jake, she knew it was true. And then she went off on me, and she accused me of planning the whole thing and tricking Jason into getting me pregnant -- just like you knew she would, just like you wanted her to. And, so, now what?
Lucky: Ok, damage control.
Elizabeth: With Carly's big mouth -- good luck.
Lucky: We did this for Jake -- to protect him, to make sure that Jason's enemies would not come after him. That's why I've gone along with this whole lie that he's mine. We'll find a way to manage Carly.
Elizabeth: Sam here could care less about protecting Jake. All that matters to her is getting payback.
Sam: No, that is not true. That is not how it happened.
Lucky: Ok, then why don't you tell me how it did happen?
Carly: I can't believe you didn't share this with me. At least you didn't lie to me when I asked you again.
Jason: We're talking about my son's life, Carly.
Carly: Pretty ironic that I sat there and poured my heart out to you about wanting to have a baby, wondering if it were safe.
Jason: That's why nobody was supposed to know, because my child isn't safe.
Carly: Is that the line of bull that Elizabeth fed you? Maybe she should've thought about that before she let you knock her up.
Jason: You know what? It wasn't like that for us, ok? At the time, we both felt that if -
Carly: Please spare me, you know, your feelings of the night you conceived a child with her, please? I bet she couldn't wait to run to you and tell you about this.
Jason: Actually, I didn't find out until we were stuck in the elevator during the hostage crisis.
Carly: She was just going to lie to everyone? Oh, that miserable bitch.
Jason: Stop, Carly, don't -- you know what? Don't start badmouthing Elizabeth.
[Music plays]
[Diane burps]
singer: It sounds so good sounds nice in my head say it again
Alexis: Uh -
Diane: Ok. We have -- agh -- finished our two drinks.
Diane: May we use your phone now?
Bartender: Sure.
[Diane coughs]
Diane: Pick up the phone.
Alexis: No, you pick it up.
Alexis: No -- rock, paper, scissors.
Diane: Fine.
Alexis: The phone is dead. Why didn't you tell us the phone was dead?
Bartender: You didn't ask. The phone's been dead for a week.
Diane: Hey, hey -- how are we going to get there? What do we do, walk to Philadelphia? I want my award.
Alexis: It's my award.
Diane: Well, if we don't get there soon and you somehow manage to garner the sympathy vote, you're going to be pulling that award out of a boring little box days from now, sitting around in your bathrobe.
Alexis: All right! We need a phone.
Diane: Ahem. Excuse me. I'm sorry. Might I borrow your phone?
Man: That depends. Can I borrow your friend for a dance?
Diane: Yes! Get out of the chair.
Ric: I just put the girls to bed.
Skye: This won't take long. I promise I won't do anything to wake them or embarrass them.
Ric: You said you had a proposition for me?
Skye: A different kind of proposition, Ric. You see, I've been thinking about my time here in Port Charles and I realize I made a lot of impressions -- most of them unfavorable.
Ric: Just shook things up a bit.
Skye: Well, I have no intention of stopping now. You see, I've made some decisions recently -- good ones, actually, for me and my daughter -- and I realized I have you to thank for that.
Ric: Well, I hope you've given it a chance to reconsider this whole thing between the two of us.
Skye: Well, that means when I leave, you'll have decisions of your own to make.
Ric: What's this?
Skye: Paperwork for the transfer of Lorenzo's waterfront property -- the piers, the warehouses, the commercial rights. All you have to do is sign your name, and they're yours.
Regina: All the patients have been assessed, the8:00 meds given, and four tube-feedings hung.
Leyla: Oh -- I'll enter the charts.
Cassius: And I'll take these files to storage -- if they're ready.
Epiphany: Yes, they're ready.
Epiphany: And you have a catheter to place.
Regina: In room 1016 -- it's already been done.
Leyla: And check Mrs. Holt's ventilator in 1007 -- her daughter keeps playing with it.
Epiphany: Is this what it takes for me to get quality work done around here -- my son has to die?
Nadine: Mr. Jackal? Hey. I didn't see you under that hat. Do you mind if I join you? It's my night off before pulling a double shift at the hospital, and I can't decide whether I should just chill out and enjoy the downtime or blow it all out at a club -- although, I know there's nothing less fun than a person trying to have fun. You know what I mean? "Get your man"? Oh.
Spinelli: No -- um -- no, no, oh, god! No, it's not what you think.
Nadine: I think "to each his own," or "every pot has a lid," as my aunt Rayleen use to say.
Spinelli: Shh -- shh -- I'm actually trying to be quiet about this, so -
Nadine: Well, why? There's no shame in love -- whatever form it takes.
Spinelli: No, it's -- huh. It's not a dating site. It's an online study for private detecting.
Nadine: Oh.
Spinelli: I'm going to be a private investigator.
Sam: I know what that little boy means to you, that you wanted to keep his paternity a secret, and I also know it was a terrible thing to tell Carly, but -
Elizabeth: But you did it anyway.
Lucky: Let her talk.
Sam: She pushed me and pushed me, and I -- I didn't want to get sucked in, but you know how relentless Carly is.
Elizabeth: Please, you've been looking for any excuse.
Sam: Any excuse for what? For Lucky to hate me? To confirm every lousy thing you and Carly have ever said about me? That's exactly what I didn't want. But she attacked me, she called me every name in the book -
Elizabeth: And you've earned every one.
Lucky: Back up here a second.
Sam: See, that's exactly the way Carly made me feel -- like her and her little inner circle were so far above me -- and I wanted to make her stop. I wanted to shut her up, so I said it. And I regretted it the second it came out of my mouth, but, what, I can't take it back, I'm sorry.
Elizabeth: You can't take back what you've done, either.
Lucky: What do you mean by that?
Jason: Elizabeth lied for Lucky to protect him, Carly.
Carly: She lied to protect her lily-white reputation.
Jason: No, she did it for Lucky. He quit taking drugs, he was staying clean for a kid he thought was his.
Carly: So she was willing to lie to everyone, including the baby's father?
Jason: What, you think this was easy for Elizabeth?
Carly: Oh, god -- poor, poor Elizabeth.
Jason: You see? This -- this is exactly why I didn't want you to know.
Carly: You know what I see? I see that Elizabeth has found a dozen or more ways to manipulate you into giving up your child. She wanted it all, and as far as I'm concerned, she deserves to lose everything!
Nadine: "Do you crave adventure? Would you rather be a do than a watcher? Find missing persons and solve --"
Spinelli: Ok, ok, look, the first rule about being a private eye is to keep the fact that you are a private eye private.
Nadine: Uh -- you're -- you're doing this why?
[Spinelli sighs]
Spinelli: My -- my life has become somewhat of a meandering path -- it has no destination or purpose. I'd like to return to the proverbial fork in the road.
Nadine: I thought you liked working for Jason.
Spinelli: Well, I -- yeah, but the grasshopper cannot remain the grasshopper to Stone Cold's master forever. I need to -- I need to find my own way, you know, for myself, but also for someone who believed in me more than myself. I'd like to think that her faith in me was well-founded.
Nadine: I should've known this was about a girl.
Spinelli: Not any girl -- wise Georgie, who was heinously taken from this world, and as it turns out, from The Jackal's heart.
Nadine: Georgie had a thing for you?
Spinelli: Uh -- revealed in emails that she did not feel she could send to me.
Nadine: That's so sad.
Spinelli: Yeah, and her killer is still at large -- a cowardly fiend who attacks women, Stone Cold's sister among them. I -- I don't know. I just -- I wish to help.
Nadine: Well, most people would say "leave it to the police," but -
Spinelli: Yeah, but, see, the police don't know everything. And, see, as a -- as a private investigator, I would not be bound by the same red tape. I -- I can be a rogue. I -- I should probably come up with a gimmick, you know, to attract people to my services. You know, find a -- um -- a persona that sets me apart from the others, makes me different?
Nadine: I think you've already got that part covered.
Spinelli: Huh.
Nadine: And as far as a way to create a positive buzz, uh, I would think the best thing would be to solve a crime.
Spinelli: Well, I mean, while I would love nothing more than to bring the text-message killer to justice, see, I already have a -- um -- I already have an unofficial case.
Nadine: Which is?
Spinelli: Epiphany, the silent carrier of loss, came to Stone Cold and asked him to find out who killed her son.
Epiphany: You act like you're doing me a favor because you're doing your jobs, like you want me to pat you on the head or give you a medal! There are going to be food trays that need to be collected. And I haven't heard you say anything about checking the S's and O's.
Epiphany: And either Mrs. Holt's daughter has taken off the ventilator alarm again, or you have a patient in distress!
Monica: They know you're in pain, and they want to help. You should let them.
[Alarm stops]
Monica: But if you ever feel that you need to talk to somebody, I sure as hell hope you understand I know what it's like to lose a child.
Jason: I -- I know you love me, and I know you want to fight for me, but this isn't about me.
Carly: How can you say that? You're a father. I remember how you were when Michael was a baby -- how wonderful you were with him, how wonderful he turned out because of you.
Jason: "How wonderful Michael turned out" -- come on.
Carly: He's going through a rebellious stage right now, you said that yourself. Most kids his age -
Jason: Most kids don't have bodyguards 24/7, they don't have to deal with their nanny being strangled in their own home!
Carly: That had nothing to do with Sonny's business!
Jason: Even if that turns out to be true, Michael deals with violence or the threat of violence every day.
Carly: I trust you to protect him, I trust you with his life, Jason.
Jason: You can't protect him from the life Sonny and I chose. That's what I've been trying to tell you -- you can't protect him from what's written in the newspapers, Carly. It was -- it was different when he was little -- he couldn't understand. But now even you can see the effect it's having on him.
Carly: Michael is not going to turn out like Johnny Zacchara, and neither is Jake, and I know that's what you're afraid of.
Jason: Michael wants people to pay for what happened to Leticia and Emily.
Carly: Don't you? Doesn't everyone?
Jason: He doesn't just want justice, he wants revenge.
Carly: He's a little boy, he has no idea what he's saying!
Jason: Michael wants to be like his father!
Carly: He could do a lot worse! And so could your son. I know the loving and compassionate man that you are, Jason.
Jason: We both know what I do.
Carly: And the same thing is done in the name of the law. I know you. Jason -
Jason: I -- I do not want my son to be like me.
Lucky: Are you taking a page out of Carly's book -- using Sam as a punching bag -- or is there something you really think I should know?
Lucky: God -- it's work. I got to go. You come with me, or I think you should leave.
Elizabeth: No, I'm not going anywhere. Sam and I have a few things to get straight.
Sam: Lucky, it's fine, it's fine. You go do what you got to do. We'll be fine here. I'm sorry.
Sam: All right, what now? You want to have another cat fight like we did at Wyndemere?
Elizabeth: You give me one good reason why I shouldn't tell Lucky the whole truth about you.
Jan 9, 2008 10:08
Elizabeth: Carly thinks she practically owns Jason. You knew it'd make her crazy to find out that Jake is his son, and that we've kept it from her.
Sam: Carly will have to get over it.
Elizabeth: She's going to make my life a living hell -- and Jason's, too -- but that's what you wanted, isn't it? And, unfortunately, Jake is the one that's going to pay for all this. So, really, you're the one who's gotten away with murder here.
Sam: No, really, the truth was going to come out eventually, so -
Elizabeth: Yeah, when Jason and I decided, but you took that choice out of our hands. And what do you have to lose for shooting off your big mouth?
Sam: Nothing, Elizabeth. I have nothing left to lose.
Elizabeth: You have Lucky. But I'm sure you have a million and one tricks to make him feel sorry for you, to forgive you. Unless -- unless he were to find out what a cold-blooded bitch you really are, and that you really don't give a damn about Jake.
Sam: Come on, that is not true.
Elizabeth: Oh, come on, you stood there and watched Jake get kidnapped by a mentally unstable woman, and hired two men to threaten us with guns in the park!
Sam: You were never in any danger!
Elizabeth: You just wanted to be the hero. You wanted to drive home to Jason that he's a danger to his son and that he shouldn't be around us -- of course, that's when you were still trying to get back with him.
Sam: Right, he knows all this. It's all out in the open, so -
Elizabeth: And I wonder what's going to happen when Carly goes running to him with all of this.
Sam: No, look, "this" is none of Carly's damn business.
Elizabeth: Oh, I doubt she would see it that way if I told her what you've done -- to Jason's son.
Carly: You are the best father that that baby could have.
Jason: I wish that were true.
Carly: It is true -- I know it, you know it, Elizabeth knows it. She's being so unbelievably selfish by not letting you -
Jason: Elizabeth didn't talk me into this, ok, we all agreed -- even Lucky -- that this is what's best for Jake.
Carly: I can see how she could convince Lucky, but you I don't understand.
Jason: You're just mad I didn't -- I didn't tell you.
Carly: No, I'm mad as hell at Elizabeth for convincing you and manipulating you into not telling anyone -- that's what I'm mad at.
Jason: And Sonny -- Sonny knew that you would be like this, too.
Carly: Sonny knows that Jake is your son? So who else knows?
Jason: Spinelli and Lulu, Emily even suspected.
Carly: You could trust them, but you couldn't trust me.
Jason: Look how you're reacting. I didn't want you to come up with some crazy plan and try to find a way to get Jake for me.
Carly: That's exactly what I'm going to do.
Lucky: What?
Luke: Well. I'd say "it's nice to see you," but I have a feeling it ain't.
Lucky: Tracy called, I thought something happened to you.
Tracy: Something is going to happen if we don't stop him. I want you to arrest him.
Luke: She's crazy.
Tracy: You smuggled contraband tobacco into this hospital and endangered the lives of nonsmokers.
Luke: She can't do this.
Lucky: She can if she produces evidence.
Tracy: I intend to.
Luke: Are you going to let it go that far, Officer Spencer?
Ric: You're joking?
Skye: No. Actually, it's probably the cleanest thing I've ever done.
Ric: We haven't even discussed a price yet.
Skye: There is none, Ric. Lorenzo's money he left me is enough for 10 lifetimes. I know what goes on down at those piers, and believe me, I don't want any money with blood on it, I don't want that kind of thing following me.
Ric: You're just giving me the piers?
Skye: Yes -- as a parting gift. I'm leaving Port Charles.
[Mouths words]
Man: I can show you some real moves.
Diane: Oh, a beer. Yes, well, I bet you could. We're just going to borrow your friend's phone and be on our way.
Man: Big Dave look like he just warming up.
Diane: Hmm. Oh -- man: What you got in there -- gold?
Diane: Close -- high fashion.
Man: Oh, you mean couture?
Diane: You know that word?
Man: Had a girlfriend, that's all she could talk about.
Diane: Oh.
Man: Fashion, fashion, fashion. Me -- I just liked seeing her with her clothes off. How about you? You shy around mirrors?
Diane: I do my share of primping.
Man: I got a nice mirror myself.
Diane: Oh?
Man: I put it right up on the ceiling over my bed.
Dave: You girls off to a prom or something?
Alexis: We're going to an awards ceremony -- Litigator of the Year.
Dave: Say what?
Alexis: Litigator -- we're lawyers!
[Bar quiets]
Cassius: Uh -- Nurse J, um, this package came for you.
Epiphany: I'll get to it.
Cassius: Ok.
Epiphany: It's -- uh -- it's Stanford's things. His personal effects. The police said they would mail it to me. I can fill thousands of boxes with the memories I have of that boy. I know what to do with his things. I just wish someone would tell me what to do with the memories.
Tracy: Of course Lucky will arrest you -- if that's what it takes to keep you from killing yourself.
Luke: Ok. I'll be a good little, pathetic patient. Your work is done here, officer turncoat.
Lucky: Give me a minute with him, please.
[Tracy sighs]
[Lucky sighs]
Lucky: You've cheated death how many times?
Luke: More than you can count. Lucky, I just -- the last time I see death's face, I want it to be in a blaze of glory.
Lucky: Well, then why not wait until no one can stop you -- when the doctors say that you're stronger and say you're ready to be released?
Luke: Because, cowboy, more people die in hospital beds than anywhere else, that's a fact.
Lucky: I don't know what to tell you anymore, except that there's a lot of people who love you and want to see you around.
Luke: I know. I didn't expect you to understand.
Lucky: Don't give Tracy any more ammunition.
Luke: I won't. I will be the drooling, doddering old man who sips his soup through a straw and watches life go by on the TV screen instead of living it.
Tracy: Lucky?
Luke: You win -- again. I just hope I live long enough to see you in this position. And remember, when you were comatose and vegetating, I gave you the dignity of unplugging the machines.
Sam: I may have already lost Lucky over this, and if you tell him -- yeah, I will.
Elizabeth: And if I don't, I'll be letting him live a lie.
Sam: Do you know I hate what I did even more than you do?
Elizabeth: I doubt that.
Sam: You doubt that? Do you understand, do you have any idea how twisted up I was about Jason, about that baby?
Elizabeth: Are you trying to make me feel sorry for you?
Sam: No, I'm trying to make you understand, even if Jason won't.
Elizabeth: No, he understood. That's one of the reasons why he didn't want the truth to come out. Because even though the two of you weren't together, he didn't want to see you hurt.
Sam: Right, just like you didn't want to see Lucky hurt.
Elizabeth: Yes.
Sam: Ok. Well, you'd be hurting him if you told him all the terrible things that I've done.
Elizabeth: Oh, please. I see where this is going.
Sam: I know you probably don't want to hear this -- I mean, I wouldn't -- but Lucky is actually really happy with me. And -- and I think that how this whole lie got started was to protect him so he didn't -- he didn't go back to drinking and drugs again. How much do you think he can take before he starts using again?
Elizabeth: My god. You'd say anything to get me to keep my mouth shut.
[Sam sighs]
Ric: You're taking -- you're just taking a little extended leave until this -- the dust settles?
Skye: No. I'm leaving. It's time.
Ric: What about your family?
Skye: Oh, please, Ric. The Quartermaines are not my family -- a point Tracy continually reminds of now that Alan is gone. I -- I really don't want Lila Rae to grow up as an outsider, you know? I know what that's like.
Ric: You're going to get bored.
Skye: Uh-huh. Sure, eventually, but, you know, right now it's -- it's all I really need, it's what I want. But you -- look at you with all that power, all that temptation. You can either use it against Sonny or your father, or you can use it for you and your daughter.
Ric: Do you realize what you're giving me?
Skye: Damnation? Salvation? Really, it's up to you.
Ric: I don't know what to say.
Skye: I'd say thank me, but there might come a time when you regret that. Who knows, Ric? Another time, another place, who knows what might've been? But this is now. I may get a chance to see you again, but in case I don't -
Alexis: What -- what'd I say?
Dave: A dirty, six-letter word.
Man: "Lawyer"! The kids, the house -- that was bad enough. My ex wound up with my boat because of her damn lawyer.
Alexis: You should've had your own attorney.
Man: I did. I was spending four months in county because the bastard forgot to file some motion.
Dave: Bet he charged you double for that.
Man: And he sued me to get the money.
Diane: What -- well, naturally, there are incompetent lawyers -- just as there are incompetent plumbers.
Man: Hey, Dave? She's comparing you to a lawyer.
Diane: No, no! No, I -- I wasn't talking about you or any plumber in particular!
Bartender: You know, that's an insult to any man working a hard day's work for a hard day's pay.
Man: What do you have when a lawyer is buried up to her neck in sand?
Bartender: Not enough sand.
Bartender: Why is a lawyer like a bait shop?
Dave: Because of all the leaches, night crawlers, and maggots.
[Lamp breaks]
Diane: Next one takes out an eye -- or something else you might consider more useful.
Diane: I've killed a man before, I'll do it again. Now, my friend and I -- behind me -- my friend and I are just going to back out of this bar real slow, and no one's going to do anything. Get the door.
Diane: Now!
Alexis: You incited a mob!
Diane: I saved us!
Alexis: You were very convincing -- I actually believed you when you said that you really killed someone.
Diane: That was the truth. I have killed someone.
Spinelli: I -- I got your message. If I have not said so, I am greatly sorry for the loss of your son.
Epiphany: I still don't get it. I thought that you two did not like each other much.
Spinelli: We were cyber-rivals.
Epiphany: Well, what about in the real damn world?
Spinelli: Uh -- huh -- a begrudng respect. Um -- but the cyber-world and this one have lost a good person. Is he to be buried here?
Epiphany: Stanford wanted to be cremated. He -- uh -- he thought that humans took up too much space while they where alive, and he didn't want to waste space when he was dead. I'll scatter his ashes when they send them to me. In the meantime --
[Epiphany sighs]
Epiphany: Here. For you and Jason. I want you two to be the first ones to take a look at his personal effects.
Spinelli: For clues. Um -- what about the police?
Epiphany: Hmm. Stanford would never forgive me for handing them over to the establishment like that. I want you and Jason to do right by my boy.
Spinelli: We will do more than that. I give you my solemn vow, we shall find out who ended his life.
Elizabeth: I guess I shouldn't be surprised that you'd try to turn this around and lay a guilt trip on me after everything you've done.
Sam: No, I'm trying to keep Lucky from being hurt.
Elizabeth: Well, then maybe I would be doing him a favor by telling him the truth -- letting him see what kind of woman he's gotten himself involved with.
Sam: Isn't it enough that I'm going to pay?
Elizabeth: Oh, but you haven't.
Sam: Oh, I haven't? I pay every single time I see that little boy. I pay every time I see Jason. I have to live with what I've done for the rest of my life. And even if you never tell anybody, people take their cue from -- from you and Jason and Sonny, and I will be treated like the garbage of this town. Isn't that enough?
Elizabeth: I don't know.
Sam: What are you going to do?
Elizabeth: I'm going to go home and love my children. And maybe I won't have to do anything to you at all. Maybe I'll just let Carly do it for me.
Jason: I want you to leave this alone, Carly. Jake is where he belongs.
Carly: He belongs with you. I can see the pain in your eyes, you can't lie to me anymore, Jason.
Jason: I was protecting my son. Do you want me to apologize -
Carly: No, no, I don't. It hurts, but I know why you did it.
Jason: This -- this was my choice, it was not Elizabeth. Do not blame her.
Carly: I'm going to straighten it out.
Jason: No, you're not -- Carly.
Carly: Don't worry, ok?
Jason: Carly!
Logan: Where's Lulu? Lulu: Why do you have me locked up in here? Jerry: Where is it? You know what to do. Carly: What's best for Jason is being with his son. Sonny: You're telling me you can't claim your son because of me?
Jan 10, 2008 06:08
Thursday, January 10--Part 1 Nikolas: Hi. I was hoping you'd be here.
Emily: I told you -- i'm where you want me to be. So you're meeting with patrick about the brain tumor?
Nikolas: Yes, yes, he's -- he's trying to find a connection between the rage and -- and the blackouts, but we've already gone over it. I told him everything i can -- everything except you. I mean, he's -- he's just going to confirm what i already know, what the doctors in zurich told me -- that it's inoperable, it's possibly genetic. I mean, how much more bad news can i get at this point?
Emily: Nikolas, don't even think like that. There's always hope.
Nikolas: Is there hope that whatever this is here that i've created -- whatever you are -- won't go away?
Nadine: Hi, mr. Cassadine. Who are you talking to?
Logan: Where the hell is lulu?
Lulu: Let me out of here! You're going to regret it!You have no idea who you're messing with! I know somebody's out there. Who are you, and why do you have me locked up in here?
[Bang on door]
sonny: You should just put it up in neon lights -- "organization is a mess, ripe for the taking."
Jason: What happened?
Sonny: The warehouses aren't even halfway done, there's a hold on the next shipment, johnny zacchara isn't dead yet. Where -- where have you been all afternoon?
Jason: I've been dealing with a different kind of hell -- carly knows about jake.
elizabeth: Carly. Do you ever quit?
Carly: Not when it comes to jason's best interest -- and his son's.
[window shatters]
alexis: This is breaking and entering.
Diane: Misdemeanor trespass.
Alexis: It's also grand theft -- you took big dave's gun.
Diane: Oh -- if you're so certain that you should be litigator of the year, then i'm sure you will find some way to get us off should the need arise.
Alexis: I've already won litigator of the year -- and i wasn't there.
Diane: I won, and my lonely little trophy is as cold as i am -- although, not half as hungry.
Alexis: They stole our coats, you know. It's not any warmer in here. We should've stayed in the car.
Diane: Oh, please. If it weren't for me, you would have left your neela llorente gown in the back of that car, and now you would have to explain to kate howard why it's just a little pile of ashes.
[Diane sighs]
alexis: So what now, sherlock?
Diane: Well, i'm freezing, i'm all wet, i can't stay in these clothes.
Nikolas: I'm sorry. I was just thinking out loud, i guess, trying to remember allthe -- all the questions i want to ask dr. Drake. There's a few things that i don't want to lose sight of.
Nadine: Oh, i talk to myself all the time. Some people think it's weird, but i have known people that talk to their pets like they understood every word, or stand in front of the mirror and tell the reflection to get it together and get to the gym. You know, some people just do it because they're lonely and it helps drive away the bad stuff.
Nikolas: I'm sorry, how -- how long will dr. Drake be? I have an overseas conference call that i can't miss.
Nadine: Uh -- i know he's a little backed up, but i will tell him that you're in a crunch.
Nikolas: All right, thank you.
Nadine: Um -- i never got a chance to tell you how sorry i am about your fiancee. She seemed like a very kind, loving, and beautiful woman.
Nikolas: Yeah, she was -- well, she is, and that's how i'll always remember her. Death can't take that away from her -- or from me.
Johnny: I haven't seen lulu.
Logan: She was supposed to meet me back at her father's hospital room. She went to kelly's, and she never came back.
Johnny: Maybe she was trying to get away from you.
Logan: Or maybe she got detoured by you. Maybe you're causing trouble again because you can't stand the competition.
Johnny: There is no competition.
Logan: Yeah, right. Like you don't want her?
Johnny: I don't want her hurt.
Logan: She won't be, we're in a good place.
Johnny: If it was so good, you wouldn't be looking for her.
Trevor: Johnny. Are you avoiding me?
Johnny: We need to meet, now.
joe: The banker looked me in the eye, said he'd come through with the loan. 17 Years i ran that garage, i can't believe i had to close the place. My father would kill me.
Mike: Hey, come on, you and angie -- you'll bounce back.
Joe: I haven't even told her yet -- i mean, she came down with something. She doesn't need this on top of being pregnant and sick, you know?
[Spinelli sneezes]
mike: Uh -- pull up a seat, mr. Spinelli.
Spinelli: I should probably keep my distance in deference to your health.
Mike: Hey, you coming down with something?
Spinelli: So it would seem. I -- i venture forth for your famed chicken soup. Wise georgie believed in its fortifying attributes.
Mike: Yeah, well, i'm sorry, kid, but i'm all out. You know, the flu's going around, and everybody and his dog wants my soup.
Spinelli: Fortunate canines, indeed.
Joe: Try one of these -- wife's been taking them.
Spinelli: Uh -- the jackal is wary of over-the-counter meds -- they seem to have a strange effect on his system.
Mike: Ooh, that's -- that's hard to believe.
Spinelli: Uh -- maybe just one? What's the worst that can happen, right?
Singer: Am i supposed tojust sit here and pretend i care?
Lulu: I have friends, very powerful friends -- the kind that you don't want to mess with. People will come looking for me.
Monk: Landry, is your niece all right?
Jerry: Oh, yes, yes, she is. You see, she's extremely troubled.
Monk: Oh.
Jerry: You see, her -- her mother was not stable and her father turned to the bottle and she blames herself.
Monk: Oh, poor thing. My god.
Jerry: In fact, she witnessed a crime and she ran away with her boyfriend, and then the police managed to find her and they were trying to get her into the witness protection program so that she could be safe and start fresh.
Monk: Surely.
Jerry: Somebody tried to kill her -- it was an inside job.
Monk: The police? That's horrible.
Jerry: I know -- it seems possible for the criminal-minded to infiltrate any institution these days.
Monk: Well, your niece is very lucky to have you on her side, mr. Landry.
Jerry: Well, she doesn't feel that way. I mean, she will do and say anything to get you to release her -- so that she can run away with a boy. You know, drugs -- it's a terrible waste, terrible.
Monk: Yeah, yeah.
Jerry: You can understand my -- my need for the most extreme privacy -- that's why i've adopted the robes, and that's why there's a guard for her protection.
Monk: It's obvious you love your niece very much. Well, rest assured that the brothers can keep tightlipped when need be. And you have been, well, most generous.
Jerry: Well, it's the least i could do.
Monk: No, no, no, the abbot is very grateful. The monastery, i'm afraid, has been counting its last pennies.
Jerry: Well, from now on, you know you can count on me.
Jerry: If anybody finds her, you know what to do. Where is it? Ok.
Carly: Jason couldn't lie to my face about being jake's father, so your hooks aren't in that deep. We had a long talk.
Elizabeth: Oh, good. Then you know what he's decided about jake.
Carly: What you've decided.
Elizabeth: No, everyone in jake's life -- everyone whose opinion actually matters. We've all agreed that it's best that the world keeps on knowing that lucky is jake's father. So you can leave now.
Carly: Wow. You think you're holding all the cards, huh? You used jason's love for his son to keep him dangling on a string.
Elizabeth: Why would i do that?
Carly: I don't know -- you're one of those women that just can't stand on her own two feet without a man to fall back on.
Elizabeth: Oh.
Carly: Yeah, you have jason and lucky dancing to your tune. Who cares that jason's heart is in pieces and that lucky's whole life is based on lies -- and you fed him to sam -- as long as you got what you wanted?
Elizabeth: What i want is what's best for jake.
Carly: You can spare me. I'm not lucky, and i'm not jason. All you care about is yourself. But i have news for you -- you're taking a back seat. Jason comes first, what's best for him. And what's best for jason is being with his son.
Sonny: I know you're not crazy enough to tell carly. How'd she find out?
Jason: Sam.
Sonny: How the hell did that happen?
Jason: I don't know -- payback.
Sonny: You try talking to carly?
Jason: Yeah, i tried talking to carly.
Sonny: You got nothing?
Jason: I -- carly hates sam, she hates elizabeth, and now in the name of protecting my son, she has reason to go after both of them. She thinks i should've fought -- fought harder for jake.
Sonny: Well, i'm not going to go there with you on that one.
Jason: Ok, you know what? Sonny, please, elizabeth can't be in my life. I'm not going to let our enemies know that i have a little boy. I won't let them use that against me.
Sonny: I have three kids, maybe you can do it.
Jason: Yeah -- "maybe" what? I have a job, ok? Part of that job is making sure you and your family and the people we care about stay ok. I wouldn't be able to do that, i'd be worried about jake and elizabeth all day long.
Sonny: You're saying you can't claim your son because of me? Alexis: Oh -- i'm afraid if i sit down, i'll stick to it.
Diane: Here.
Alexis: Oh -- gross.
Diane: I'm sorry, alexis, but i just did not take you for this much of a priss.
Alexis: This is a neela llorente gown.
Diane: And this is a biker bar -- with a broken thermostat. And this is our $500-a-plate award dinner. Hmm. To capable women.
[Bottles clink]
diane: Ooh. What?
Alexis: I was just thinking about your sudden confession about how you killed a man.
Diane: Well, i certainly didn't use one of these. I was a very young public defender who had just been assigned a client accused of a hate crime. 27-Year-old caucasian male -- blond-haired, brown-eyed william guidry.
Alexis: You still remember his name?
Diane: I remember his crime. He raped a 16-year-old girl because -- as he so gleefully told me -- he could. And then he killed her because she was black. I found a procedural violation that would've gotten him off -- and i didn't act on it. I could not look at the victim's family and watch him go free. So he went to prison, and he was murdered -- stabbed doing laundry detail. And i still can't decide who committed the worse crime -- william guidry, or the men who executed him, or me -- for playing God and giving them the chance to do it. You know, maybe i'm not really award material after all.
Diane: Alexis davis, i present you with litigator of the year.
Alexis: Yeah, well, it turns out i can't accept this award.
Diane: Why not?
Alexis: Strangely enough, i killed somebody, too.
Lulu: Why are you doing this to me?
Monk: I brought you some food. You must eat, child.
Lulu: I don't want to.
Monk: Well, you've got to keep up your strength. I -- i brought you a little supper.
Lulu: You -- first, you lock me up, and -- and --
monk: Child?
[Lulu coughs, thud]
monk: Are you all right?
[Key turns in lock]
monk: Oh, dear. What happened? What happened?
Lulu: I don't know. I'm so cold.
Monk: You're cold?
Monk: Oh!
Jax: Dr. Lee? Hi. Do you have a minute?
Kelly: Have you come to take me away from all of this? Charm me with diamonds, lay the world at my feet?
[Kelly chuckles]
jax: Talk about my wife, actually.
Kelly: That is not a female fantasy.
[Jax chuckles] What are the chances of carly and i having a child together? I mean, is that a fantasy, too?
Elizabeth: Jake is not your child, carly. It is not up to you. You cannot be this selfish.
Carly: "Selfish"? You're talking to me about selfish?
Elizabeth: I love jason.
Carly: Really? Not enough to be with him. Not enough to let him acknowledge his son, and certainly not enough to let him raise his son. Don't get me wrong -- i don't think you're good enough for jason.
Carly: You wouldn't simplify his life, and you certainly are afraid of it.
Elizabeth: If that were true, i would've never told jason about jake in the first place.
Carly: Oh, whatever. I heard about your tearful confession in the elevator. Yeah -- telling jason you were having his kid just about guaranteed you were going to get out of the hotel alive.
Elizabeth: God, you are unbelievable. I thought i was going to die and lose my baby -- i thought jason had a right to know.
Carly: No, jason was happy with sam.
Elizabeth: Oh --
carly: He was losing interest in you, and you couldn't stand it, so you found a way to grab it and keep it -- all the while, keeping his nasty little life at bay. I guess things could be worse -- you guys could be shacked up somewhere and jason could be losing all focus of his life.
Elizabeth: This is his life. You're just not a part of it and it's making you crazy.
Carly: Not being with his son is making jason crazy.
Elizabeth: Ok, look, it was a very difficult and painful decision for all of us, but jason believes this is what's best for jake. He's ok with the way things are.
Carly: He's not ok! No parent would be ok!
Elizabeth: What is it that you want from me, carly?
Carly: I would really, really love for you to disappear.
carly: But since you would take jason's child away from him, i'm going to make sure you can't.
Sonny: Elizabeth should've told you about the baby from the beginning. Lies, secrets -- you know, it always comes out eventually. You were always big on the truth no matter what, right?
Jason: You're right. You're right, but the truth is i can't have my son. And now carly is going to try to make that happen, whether i want it or not, and she's going to make a mess of all our lives.
Diane: You killed someone?
Alexis: It was an accident. I accidentally pushed a man over a hotel balcony and to his death. There were mitigating circumstances.
Diane: Well, there'd have to be. I mean, he was, after all, a man.
Alexis: He was a monster -- killed my sister, got away with it. And then when i was in labor in the middle of nowhere, he was there and he left me there to die, so i snapped.
Diane: Abandonment issues.
Alexis: Hmm.
Diane: Something tells me you came from no more of a loving parental relationship than i did. It says a lot about you -- no judgment, just an observation.
Alexis: So why do we do it?
Diane: Do what?
Alexis: Sonny and jason and ric --
diane: Jerry.
Alexis: I'm doing that for jax.
Diane: Oh, alexis, and here i thought we were being truthful.
Alexis: I am just too tired to figure that one out.
Diane: No, you're too uptight --
[alexis chuckles]
diane: But we'll get you there.
[Alexis giggles] Ok.
[Diane giggles]
Jan 10, 2008 06:09
trevor: So there you are. Look, except for a couple of details -- which i'm handling -- we are ready to meet moreau's shipment in canada and bring it downriver.
Johnny: Lulu's missing.
Trevor: Oh, is that why you were stalling me -- you got girlfriend trouble?
Johnny: I checked around, and i -- trevor: Listen, will you please forget about her? Your father tried to kill her! Leave her alone, she's going to be fine.
Johnny: "Going to be fine" doesn't work for me.
jerry: [French accent] johnny zacchara, you're a hard man to track down. Moreau here.
Johnny: I know who it is.
Jerry: We have arrangements to make.
Johnny: Meet me face to face and we'll talk.
Jerry: Oh, yes. Like a man, huh, a macho man? You see, this type of a man is stupid, dies young, and spends the rest of his life in prison. But then your father should've told you that, but -- you know. And if i was stupid, i would not have time for this meeting because my needs are pressing.
Johnny: I don't care.
Jerry: Oh, well, you know,
johnny, there are different levels of caring -- you know, someone who cares for his father, cares for his dog, and,let's say, cares for his pretty, blond girlfriend with a very powerful set of lungs. I mean, she must be an animal in bed.
Johnny: You son of a bitch.
Jerry: Oh, so now you want to talk? Good.
Jax: I love carly, and i know that she would love nothing more than to give me a baby, and i would -- i would love that, too, but not at the expense of our marriage. So what do you think our chances would be?
Kelly: I can't talk to you about carly.
Jax: Right, of course, of course. Yeah, i forgot about that part.
Kelly: Right. But a woman in carly's hypothetical situation --
jax: What -- what would she be dealing with?
Kelly: The first line of treatment is drugs -- to cause her to ovulate or make more eggs.
Jax: Ok.
Kelly: If that doesn't work, she'll move on to more invasive technologies -- possibly surgery to remove the scarring or unblock the fallopian tubes.
Jax: Sounds romantic.
Kelly: Yeah. If that doesn't work, she'd move on to assisted reproductive technologies -- artificial insemination, in vitro fertilization.
Jax: Yeah, i remember some of that from when courtney was trying to get pregnant.
Kelly: If a woman in -- like carly decided to go this route, it would require the commitment of both partners. The longer it didn't happen, the more work and time you would put into it, and then --
jax: Right -- the more strain it would put on the relationship. Yeah.
Kelly: The most important thing is communication, ok?
Jax: Mm-hmm.
Kelly: You can't be working at cross-purposes or keeping each other in the dark, not telling each other what you want.
Jax: Yeah.
Kelly: And my advice -- talk to your wife. You might be surprised at what you learn.
Jax: Thank you.
Kelly: Yeah.
Jax: Thank you, thank you very much.
Elizabeth: You're not here out of care and concern for jason or his son. You're jealous because it's not your child with jason, and that you were left out of something important in his life.
Carly: That was your doing.
Elizabeth: No one makes jason do anything he doesn't want to -- you should know that better than anyone.
Carly: You used his love for that baby.
Elizabeth: You know, carly, it's no accident that jason left you on the outside. He knew you were going to make things worse like you always do. You are so afraid of being replaced in jason's life.
Carly: I know one thing -- it won't be by you. Jake needs his father, and i am going to do whatever it takes to pry him out of your hands.
Elizabeth: You're a mother. How can you possibly advocateseparating me from my little boy?
Carly: I never said anything about separation. It's called "joint custody," and it works great for me and sonny, and it'll work great for you and jason -- whether you like it or not.
Diane: All righty. Pick your poison.
Alexis: Cyanide.
Diane: You want to stay warm or not?
Alexis: Which one do you want?
Diane: Which one do you want?
Alexis: That one.
Diane: I want that one.
Alexis: It's a good thing nobody can see me in this.
Diane: Poor you.
[Alexis sighs] God --
diane: Hey, look what i found.
Alexis: Whoa!
Diane: So, you come to any conclusions?
Alexis: About what?
Diane: About the men in our lives. Powerful men -- the sonnys and the jasons and the rics and the jerrys?
Alexis: I don't know. Maybe it's about control.
alexis: People fear them and respect them out of fear, then they come to us for help.
Diane: Bingo. Very good. But wait -- there's more.
Alexis: Hmm?
Diane: I was raised by my father -- he was a powerful man. He was a judge, so he was respected and feared. But the man would've starved to death if i hadn't cooked dinner for him every night. So i was needed -- albeit, at a very cold distance. Of course, this was before the cancer got him and he turned into a puppy. But by then, it was too late. There's a reason why women like you and i are alone -- or we have an occasional dalliance and then go back to being alone. For us, it's enough.
Alexis: Is it?
Singer: Sometimes they've never been sure
nikolas: Oh -- emily? Em--
[knock on door]
nadine: Dr. Drake shouldn't be more than a few minutes.
[Nikolas sighs]
nikolas: So what does that mean, another hour? You think i got nothing else better to do?
Nadine: Hmm. I have 45 patients waiting for their meds, i share your frustration.
Nikolas: Don't -- don't try to manage me.
Nadine: Uh -- look, i'm just trying to get you the best medical help possible as quickly as i can.
Nikolas: No, you're not, you're trying to cover for dr. Drake. What, did he get held up at the tennis club?
Nadine: Ok, we're not stamping sheet metal here, mr. Cassadine. Sometimes patient care takes longer than expected, sometimes there are unforeseeable complications --
nikolas: Listen -- listen, do you -- do you know how much money i give this hospital? Do you?
Nadine: A lot.
Nikolas: A lot, a lot. You're damn right, "a lot." Who do you think pays for this alan quartermaine wing that's going up? Who, after this little string of disasters when the h.M.O.s Were trying to take over, who single-handedly kept this hospital afloat?
Nadine: You have been very --
nikolas: I did! I did! So what is it going to take to get some treatment around here? Huh?
Nadine: It was my sister. She was -- she was the one responsible for that string of disasters, so i understand more than anyone --
patrick: What's going on?
Nadine: I -- mr. Cassadine --
nikolas: She was -- she was just trying to convince me that you were -- that you were off healing the sick and the lame, instead of banging some nurse --
patrick: How long has he beenlike this?
Nadine: A few minutes.
Patrick: And what triggered it?
Nadine: I --
nikolas: You think you can just waltz in here any time you want? Sleep your way through the entire staff -- is that what you think?
Patrick: Nikolas --
nikolas: Because no one would do a damn thing about it because you are the great God, dr. Patrick drake. You went through robin, leyla -- you just threw them aside, broke both their hearts. Hey, congratulations -- i guess you're the new meat around here. I'll tell you what -- you two can go ahead and have this nice, comfy bed -- i'm out of here.
Patrick: Ok, you're not going anywhere, not in this condition.
Nikolas: You cannot keep me here against my will!
Patrick: You're a danger to yourself --
nikolas: Get off me!
Patrick: Hey --
nikolas: Why don't you do something and figure out what the hell is going on with me? Why don't you do that? Em-- emily, where -- emily, where are you?
Patrick: Hey.
Monk: He has relieved us of our financial burden. I mean, it's a miracle. Our prayers are answered. Father franco says that our benefactor is committed to our monastery.
spinelli's voice: Hello. You've reached the jackal, cyber-sleuth -- discreet, thorough. You know what to do.
Lulu: Spinelli, it's lulu. Somebody grabbed me, i don't know who. Please tell jason, just hurry. With all the speed dialing, i don't know anybody else's phone number but yours, and i have no idea where i am. I'm -- i'm looking at a painting of -- of a guy in a robe with a spade and watering can, and i don't know what's going on here -- agh! Spinelli! Spinelli, help me! Spinelli, they're taking me away!
Jerry: [French accent] i will signal the shipment to head for the border. Now, you move your ship out of new york to go upriver and i'll consider that a significant gesture -- that we've finally reached an understanding.
Johnny: Lulu better not have a scratch on her, you understand me?
Jerry: Oh, she'll be fine, and she'll continue to do so -- if you don't fail me, that is. Ok?
Johnny: Moreau's got her.
Trevor: I told you not to stall them.
Johnny: How do i know you weren't in on it?
Trevor: Kid, you keep mistrusting me like that, and you and your girlfriend are going to have a lot more than you know how to handle.
Logan: Johnny, i'm going to ask you this one more time -- where's lulu? Johnny: Somebody's holding lulu hostage to make me do something i refuse to do.
Logan: I knew it had something to do with you. If anything happens to lulu, you son of a bitch --
johnny: I'm going to go along with this guy, whatever it takes to make sure nothing happens.
Logan: No, no, johnny, we're going to go to the cops right now, and we're going to tell them everything.
Johnny: If we go to the cops, lulu dies. I'll handle it.
Logan: Correction -- we're going to handle it.
Johnny: I don't want you involved.
Logan: Look -- hey, listen to me. You think your lawyer buddy, lansing, cares what happens to lulu? No. You know i do, though. I want her back safe. Now, that may be the only thing we have in common, but for right now, it's going to have to be enough.
Mike: Oh. So, joe, tell me, how long have you and angie been together now?
Joe: Been just the two of us for 12 years. I'd die for that woman.
Mike: Yeah.
[spinelli snores, coughs]
mike: I tell you what -- if you sound anything like him while you're sleeping, she'd probably help you.
Joe: Ok, babe, i'm on my way. Yeah -- don't worry, flu's going around -- mike says everybody's got it. All right, love you. I got to hit it -- she's getting worse.
Mike: Yeah. Well, listen, if you need anything -- i mean, anything -- all right?
Joe: Thanks, mike.
Mike: Take care.
[Spinelli snores]
[music plays]
diane: Did you see the phone? Could you have told me about the phone? I just finished putting all the sticky quarters i had found into that jukebox so we'll have music for the rest of the evening. Of course, it will also drown out the sound of the cockroaches carting off what's left of the chips.
Singer: Sometimes
alexis: So do you think that we've learned anything tonight?
Diane: About each other? Maybe.
Alexis: So where do we go when we need something?
Diane: Ourselves.
Alexis: Yeah. Yeah, that's enough.
Diane: Is it?
Singer: And when you fall i'll know better than to
patrick: Take some blood, rerun every test. Something's not right. I know he's been diagnosed with
a brain tumor, but there's more to it than that. Maybe it's a residual effect from the experimental drug that jerry was injecting into nikolas to control him.
Robin: Well, he should be having these rage episodes all the time, so something is keeping them at bay.
Patrick: Whatever it is, we need to figure it out.
Nikolas: Oh -- where'd you go?
Emily: Wherever i go when you don't need me.
Nikolas: What? I always need you. Something just happened. I was arguing with a nurse. It's only going to get worse, isn't it?
Nadine: You shouldn't think that way, mr. Cassadine.
Nikolas: I'm so sorry. I -- i'm sorry.
Nadine: Oh, it comes with the territory, i'm ok. The important thing is that we get you ok -- and we will. So the next time you're talking out loud, tell yourself this -- "there's always hope." And if we don't see it, maybe it's just because we're looking in the wrong direction.
Elizabeth: Hey, jake?Jake, look at mommy. Hey, buddy, everything's going to be ok. Yeah, you don't have to worry about anything, ok? What are you looking at? Something outside?
singer: How does circumstance seem to cost us every chance of living out the truth in our hearts?
It seems the best-laid plans fall just outside our hands and leave us broken down and far apart but if faith plays a role i know someday i'll hold you in my arms forevermore so let's love like it's ours to keep love
johnny: You're on a need-to-know basis about my business.
Logan: What i need to know is how to get lulu back.
Singer: And maybe this time the fates will be kind to us so let's love like it's ours to keep
lulu: Let me go!
Singer: I wish there was a way that we could somehow stay in this perfect moment in time
mike: Ok, ok.
Singer: I'd give up everything 'cause this is all i dream about whenever i'm alone inside my mind i pray faith plays a role so that someday i'll hold you in my arms forevermore so let's love like it's ours to keep love like we've always dreamed and maybe this time the fates will be kind to us so let's love like it's ours to keep love like we've always dreamed and maybe this time the fates will be kind to us so let's love like it's ours to keep i wanna love you like it's ours to keep
>> On the next"General Hospital" --
sam: Your son is going to pay the price.
Lucky: She would never do anything to jeopardize that baby.
Elizabeth: Oh, my God -- Jake!
Regina: Did you get your insurance worked out?
Joe: Yeah -- I made sure I brought it with me.
Jan 11, 2008 05:39
Friday, January 11, 2008--Part 1: Cassius: And voila.
Luke: Yikes.
[Cassius chuckles]
Luke: It breaks what's left of my worn-out heart to think i'm leaving this sumptuous banquet behind.
[Cassius laughs] Well, i hear you're going home today.
Luke: Son, my home is the highway.
Tracy: Your home is the Quartermaine estate.
Luke: Hello, Dumpling.
Tracy: And there is nobody left that I haven't bribed. So there'll be nobody to help you over the wall.
Skye: Well, thank you, Gerald. I won't be long.
Monica: Oh.
Skye: I went by the house and Alice said that you were here for a meeting for the hospital board.
Monica: Of which you are no longer a member, so if you're here to make some kind of --
Skye: I came to say goodbye. I'm leaving Port Charles.
Kate's voice: This is Kate Howard. You may leave a message after the tone. If this is an emergency, contact my assistant, Clarice Bennet, at 212-555-0121.
Carly: Sonny, where's Diane?
Sonny: She's out of town.
Carly: We need to get her back. We need her to file papers for Jason.
Sonny: For what?
Carly: For custody of his son.
Elizabeth: Cameron, you listen to me. I don't care if freddy's mom says that she lets him play with matches. In this house, we have rules, and we do not play with matches. Do you understand? Ok, hand them to me, please.
[Elizabeth gasps] Cameron, what --just go, please? Just go.
[Elizabeth sighs] And don't you slam that door, because it's going to lock behind you, and you won't be able to get back in.
[Jake fusses]
elizabeth: What's going on, jake? Did i forget to feed you? Is it -- oh -- is it lunchtime? Do you want to eat? I'm sorry, baby. [Elizabeth sighs]
jason: Why would you do it? Why would you tell carly about jake?
Sam: Because you hurt me, jason. I mean, i -- i guess it's fine, because now we're even.
Jason: Are we?
skye: Ok, thank you.
Staff member: You're welcome.
Skye: Thanks.
Jax: Skye. Hey.
Skye: Hi.
Jax: Monica tells me that you're leaving.
Jax: She said that you feel it's time to move on. Why don't you tell me why you're really leaving?
Skye: Huh. Well, guess i never could fool you, huh? Well, jax, i was on the brink of yet another bad relationship.
Jax: Ric lansing. I -- i saw you. You were very close to him at the ball at wyndemere.
Skye: Yeah. Well, it had disaster written all over it. Believe me, i think ric is actually the first man i've ever met who has more baggage than me. It would have gotten awfully crowded, i think. And if my insecurities could ruin a great thing with a good guy like you --
jax: No, it takes two.
Skye: Three, actually. If i recall, after your long-lost love brenda showed up.
Jax: Yeah. Well, we both did the best we could, i guess. I have no regrets or malice.
Skye: Neither do i. In fact, i think i have a lot less regrets about leaving than i thought i would. But you know something? I think i'd feel a little better when you're happy.
Jax: Hey, carly and i are fine.
Skye: Oh, please --
jax: Yeah, i mean, we're --
skye: Please! Nothing is ever "fine" with carly. I imagine you live on varying levels of disaster alert. So tell me, what are you now, on def-con three, four?
Jax: Hey -- yeah, well, we've got some problems, you know? But i don't know how serious they are.
Skye: Jax --
jax: I don't know.
Skye: Just -- and you know what? Go find her and talk to her, ok? I -- i can't imagine why -- i can't fathom why you love that woman, but you do. I know you do. So just find a way to get past all that garbage, ok? All those distractions -- everything that keeps you from the one thing that is most important in this life, ok? The love that you two share, hmm?
Jax: Hey, think of next --
skye: Ok.
Sonny: Don't you have enough to do with -- in your own life, carly? Whatever -- whatever happens to jake is between elizabeth and jason. Carly: Don't you think elizabeth has already had enough to say? She's been manipulating the whole situation, including jason.
Sonny: Yeah, but nobody manipulates jason, so --
carly: Really? Do you think it was his idea to keep me in the dark about jake being his son? I mean, the whole town knows.
Sonny: No, no, no, the whole world doesn't know. That's the point in not telling you. Because it's not your business. Excuse me.
Carly: Jason is my dearest friend, ok? I'm closer to him than anyone, including my husband.
Sonny: Doesn't that tell you something about your marriage?
Carly: Don't you think that jason deserves the opportunity to love and raise his son just like any other father?
Sonny: Well, that's a self-serving argument, and not to mention, hypocritical, since you tried to take my kids away from me.
Carly: That was different.
Sonny: Well, of -- is -- of course you'd say that.
Carly: We were married and divorced. We were two passionate, volatile people who were just trying to hurt each other. And i was wrong to try and take michael and morgan away from you. They love you very much, and their lives are better because you're in it. They were the ones who would have suffered.
Sonny: Well, i'm glad that you came to this, you know, revelation now when it serves your agenda.
Carly: You know my agenda, sonny? I don't think we should be apart from the people we love, and i think we should do anything we can to be with them. That's what i think. No one could love or care for jake more than jason, and i think jake deserves that. And elizabeth keeps jason out on the fringe because she's too much of a wimp to deal with his life.
Sonny: Well, not everybody's you, carly, so, you know, we just leave it at that.
Carly: Let me guess. Kate left you again, huh? And she's not coming back?
Kate: We go back to the original concept for the cover, warren. Clarice, i want you to set up a meeting with the department heads, and get me the original mockup. Yes, warren. Going with the hillary look-alike will raise eyebrows, but that's the whole point. It'll sell magazines. Have i ever let you down?
Clarice: I'll schedule your conference call after your meeting with julius. Everyone realizes you're doing all this as a consultant. But it's only a matter of time before you're back at the helm. You are "couture." Word is, warren's making the announcement at the museum party tonight, and then you're off to paris.
Kate: Hmm. Hmm. Yes. Do i really need all these clothes?
Clarice: More, probably. You're going to be gone over a month.
Jason: You told carly about jake because you wanted revenge against me?
Sam: No, jason. All i did was tell your best friend in the world that you were a father, something carly's always wanted you to experience. I mean, as long as the mother was disposable, which, it seems, all the women in your life are disposable.
Jason: You knew what she would do. You knew the hell she would cause.
Sam: Yeah, but you will forgive her, won't you? Because carly is unfailingly loyal, her love is unconditional. You come before anyone else in her life, including her husband. It must be nice to mean so much to someone.
Jason: Yeah -- we're talking about a child. We're talking about my son, sam.
Sam: Yes, jason, your son! The child i couldn't give you. There was a time that i thought maybe you would understand what that meant to me. You would understand how much that has hurt me.
Jason: I'm sorry. I can't undo the past, but telling carly -- you knew --
sam: At least carly has the guts to stand up to you. At least she has the guts to tell you what she thinks -- unlike elizabeth --
jason: Enough!
elizabeth: Oh, surprise, surprise. I told you the door would lock behind you if you slammed it. Now, you've got to be more careful until i get this doorknob fixed. Now, come inside, please.
Lucky: Cameron! What's up, big guy?
Cameron: Yeah!
[Lucky chuckles]
lucky: You being a good boy for your mama?
Elizabeth: Yeah -- we were just having a discussion about playing with matches.
Lucky: Cameron, that is not a good idea.
Elizabeth: Why don't you come in? Cam, i need you to go up to your bedroom.
Cameron: Ok.
Elizabeth: And i'll be up in a minute, ok?
Elizabeth: Please, go. Whew. Ugh.
[Elizabeth sighs]
lucky: Looks like you got your hands full.
Elizabeth: Yeah. It's been a really crazy day. I've been running behind on everything. Did i miss a visitation?
Lucky: No, i -- i just wanted to talk to you about jake.
Tracy: You will be on a strict diet. Three servings of fruits and vegetables a day. More fish, no cigars.
Luke: The fish, i'll give you. That's brain food, but the cigars -- that's a deal breaker.
Tracy: Ha, ha. What makes you think this is negotiable? And you will start a regimen of exercise daily.
Luke: Ok, now you're talking.
Tracy: Yoga, low-impact aerobics, no sex.
Luke: No sex? That's supposed to make me healthy?
Tracy: Well, until the doctor says it's ok. Oh, and a big one -- no booze.
Luke: You're treating me like i'm an endangered species.
Tracy: You are. And you're someone i love and i intend to keep you alive, whether you like it or not.
Luke: Look, wanting to be alive has never been the problem. How i live is the problem. Ah, blaze -- right on time. Help me. I'm still in hell here.
Skye: I'd like to speak to luke for a few minutes, if i could. Alone.
Tracy: It's not a good time.
Luke: It is a good time. It's a very good time. As a matter of fact, it's a perfect time.
Tracy: The last thing he needs is stress.
Skye: Well, i didn't realize until this very moment how much i was going to miss you.
Luke: Oh, no, no, no. You got the wrong idea. I'm ok. I'm not going anywhere.
Skye: But i am.
Leo: Hey, are mr. Spencer's release forms done yet?
Epiphany, mr. Spencer?
Epiphany: Um -- his paperwork's done.
Leo: Great. Thank you.
Nadine: You ordered mr. Ericson discharged?
Epiphany: The infected toe? Yeah.
Nadine: His b.P. Went to 70. The doctor thinks it might be sepsis.
Epiphany: Well, then he'd better be admitted for observation.
Nadine: And he has high blood sugar, so i put him on insulin.
Epiphany: Huh. You know, i can't -- i can't believe i missed that.
Joe: Hi. My wife is sick. She's six months' pregnant. We thought it was the flu.
Angie: I don't know what happened.
Joe: She just collapsed making breakfast.
Regina: Come with me, ms. --
Angie: Angie.
Regina: We're going to find out what's wrong with you and your baby, ms. Angie.
Joe: Ok.
Nadine: Can i have your insurance card?
Joe: Oh. Yeah, sure.
Nadine: Thank you.
Jax: Carly, it's me. Um -- look, i -- i just hate how -- how tense things have gotten between us lately. And, um -- i love you. You know that. I know that if we just take som time for the two of us, we can get past whatever -- whatever this is. So, i'm wondering if maybe bobbie can look after the boys tonight and we can have a quiet evening, you know? Just the two of us so we can -- we can talk, ok? So call me when you get this.
Jax: Andrea, would you tell dr. Quartermaine that i won't be able to make it to the board meeting?
Andrea: Oh, certainly, mr. Jacks. Is everything ok?
Jax: Yeah, it will be.
Elizabeth: Ok, cameron's watching a movie, jake's asleep. It should be a little easier to talk. Thank you. New friend, new phase. Can't wait for this one to pass. I realize we haven't gotten a chance to talk since i barged in on you and sam.
Lucky: I'm not here to talk about your problems with sam.
Elizabeth: Good. That's a good idea.
Lucky: There's a little boy upstairs who wound up in the middle of this mess. He didn't ask for this. I'd ask what you want to do, but i already know your answer. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter what any of us want, not anymore. The only thing that does matter is what's best for jake. In our own way, you, me, sam, and jason -- we made him. That means we're going to have to find a way to protect him. As far as jake and his safety goes, nothing changed for me. I'll stick to the story that he's mine. I'm betting jason -- he'll do the same.
Elizabeth: And sam?
Lucky: Sam -- she can't stop herself sometimes. But i know in my heart that she would never do anything to jeopardize that baby.
Elizabeth: You really think so?
Sam: You pushed me away. You shoved me out of your life.
Jason: I did that to protect you.
Sam: How, jason? You made my choices for me.
Jason: I did what i thought was best at the time. I never said it was right. You can't keep using that as an excuse!
Sam: No, i am not trying to excuse anything i've done. This isn't about me. This is about you. This is about your choices. This is about the kind of life that you are offering your son. How do you even make it work with a woman like elizabeth? She doesn't understand you. She doesn't understand your life. She doesn't know how to stand by you for the man that you are. And elizabeth was your choice? Jason, it's your son who's going to pay the price.
Lucky: You know, sam -- she's more complicated than anyone thinks. She's not like you -- clear-headed, thinking things out. That comes from being a mother. From being a good mother. She hasn't had that experience yet. Having a life totally dependent on her. Having to make all the choices and live with all the consequences. It changes you, in ways she'll never know.
Elizabeth: Yes, it does. And i feel bad for sam that she can't have kids, i really do, but she can't keep using it as an excuse.
Lucky: I'm not trying to justify, just explain. You know, i had every intention of being a good father to jake, like i was trying to be for cameron. I messed up. And i'm paying for it. I'm aware of that after every n.A. Meeting i go to. But there is something that i want to give to jake that i -- that i didn't have, and that -- stability. You know, somebody who's there for him, someone he knows that he can count on. Someone that can teach him the difference between right and wrong. To protect him. I know that's a lot of me to ask, and this is mostly between you and jason. I just wanted you to know that i'm willing. You know, for the next couple of nights, i'm going to -- i'm going to be on a stakeout. But i'm still able to get my messages. Jake's a good little boy. I just want to make sure that he -- you know, that he has a chance to grow into a man. Don't take this the wron way. I just hope that jake winds up with a lot more of you than his father.
Jan 11, 2008 05:40
Friday, January 11, --Part 2: Luke: Where will you go?
Skye: Oh, someplace beautiful and green.
Luke: The inside of a money vault.
Skye: No, luke, i mean the countryside. Away from all the hypocrisy and madness, and the danger.
Luke: Good for you, blaze. You're living life on your own terms. I admire that. Sure beats the hell out of being run out of town on a rail.
Skye: Which somehow, you've managed to avoid.
Luke: Huh. Well, that's because i know how to seize the moment, see? Like now. Let me ask you something. Do you think it's better to keep an endangered species in a cage -- study it? Keep it safe, but study it? Or is it better to open the damn door and let it live the way it's supposed to live -- free.
Skye: Luke, what are you talking about?
Luke: I have a little favor i'd like to ask.
Clarice: I'll go on ahead and arrange for your bags to be picked up. The car will be waiting to take you to the airport right after the party. And by this time tomorrow, you'll be back in the world you belong. The one you lived in before this whole ugly mess even started.
Sonny: Kate is off-limits to you, now and forever.
Carly: So you did break up?
Sonny: Why are you so interested? You and jax having some problems?
Carly: I could care less if kate dumped you. That i was right about her all along Now we can focus on jason.
Sonny: Why are you putting your energy into everybody else'slife? Why aren't you getting -- you should ask yourself that.
Carly: Do you know how wonderful it would be for jason to have jake, even if it's part-time, sonny?
Sonny: I already had this conversation with jason. He has his reasons to want everybody else to believe that lucky is jake's father.
Carly: No, that's because elizabeth is trying to convince him that he can't keep jake safe. You have to tell him how crazy that is.
Sonny: Ok, whether we agree or not, it's his choice.
Carly: We have to change his mind.
Sonny: Well, he may --
jason: No, you don't.
Carly: You have a child. I know what that means to you.
Jason: Then you should know what it means that i want him safe, carly.
Sonny: Ok, we got work to do. Come on, let's --
carly: No, what is wrong with you? Jason has already lost so much time with his son, time he's never going to get back.
Sonny: Carly, come -- leave -- can't you just leave him alonefor --
carly: Don't stand there and pretend like you don't agree with me. Like -- like you don't see how much your best friend is suffering and how much it rips out his heart to see --
jason: I told you to leave it alone! Can you do what i ask just one time, please?
Carly: It's not what you want! It's what elizabeth wants!
Jason: If you want to get maternal, go have a kid with jax. Leave my son out of it.
Sam: Hey. I left a message for you. I -- i actually -- i left a few messages for you.
Lucky: I got them.
Sam: I -- i haven't seen you since you stopped by the other day when elizabeth was there.
Lucky: There was a problem with my dad. He was supposed to be released today, so i -- i can only imagine the problems are just starting.
Sam: Well, did you have to spend the night in the hospital?
Lucky: No. I just wanted more time to think, about you and me -- whether we can make anything work.
Sam: Yeah, about that -- um -- i'm sorry that i told carly and i'm sorry that i picked a fight with elizabeth, but --
lucky: But you did. And a part of you got off on it. You're not stupid, sam. You knew -- you knew exactly what you were doing by telling carly the truth about jake. You knew she would react, that she would -- she would cause trouble for jason and elizabeth. You're still blaming them for what happened with you and jason, the fact that you can't have a child of your own -- all of it. You want them to pay for it. Do i like it? No. Do i want to be a part of it? No. But in some messed-up way, i understand it.
Edward: Skye? So, this is it, huh?
Skye: I don't really like goodbyes. I'm not very good at them.
Edward: Neither am i. But God bless you and -- and lila rae, and i hope when she's older you'll tell her about her namesake.
Skye: Oh, you know i will.
[Edward chuckles] Listen, if you ever need anything --
skye: Thank you, edward, for everything. Thank you.
Kelly: And when did you start feeling this way, angie?
Nadine: Temp is 101.2
Angie: A few days ago.
Joe: She didn't want to take any medicine because of the baby, but the -- the pharmacist said the over-the-counter stuff would be ok, but it didn't help.
Angie: Did i do anything wrong?
Kelly: No, this isn't the side effect of the cold medication. I want to run some tests so i can get an idea of what's going on, ok?
Joe: Yes.
Angie: Thank you.
Iris: Uh -- mr. Smith?
Joe: Yes?
Iris: There is a problem with your insurance. According to your carrier, it's lapsed. You missed a payment.
Joe: Well, somebody must've made a mistake with the paperwork. I -- i know i sent the check.
Iris: Well, i'm just passing on what i've been told.
Joe: Well, look, just take care of my wife. It's a simple mistake, i'll take care of it.
Iris: No, i -- i'm sorry, but we can't treat her.
Joe: Well, well, what do you mean, "can't"?
Iris: Well, it's hospital policy. You'll have to take her to county.
Joe: Don't talk to me about policy, ok? Talk to me as a human being. Now, my wife is here and she's sick and she's pregnant and we have valid insurance. Now, somebody read the wrong thing on the wrong piece of paper -- that's it, ok? So just help my wife while i take care of that.
Angie: Joe, it's ok.
Joe: No, it's not ok. You're not ok.
Angie: She's just doing her job. Please, let's just go. Get my things.
Jax: Carly? Hey.
Carly: What? Hey. What?
Jax: I've looked, like, everywhere for you. Can we talk?
Carly: I can't right now. I have to find jason a lawyer.
Jax: Whoa, hold on a second. We need to talk.
jax: You know, you really need to get your priorities straight.
Carly: What are you talking about? Why are you doing this?
Jax: Carly, there's this -- there's this growing distance between us. There's something that you're not telling me -- i don't know what it is. I just want to have an evening where the two of us can sit down, relax.
Carly: I don't have time for hearts and flowers right now. I'm really sorry, ok?
Jax: You know what? Our marriage isn't -- well, it's not in trouble exactly, but --
carly: Why would you even say the word "trouble"? I don't have time for this, ok? I have to help jason right now. Don't you understand?
Jax: No, you're -- you're so caught up in jason's problem, you don't even see it, do you?
Carly: This coming from you? You, who chased jerry around wherever he needed you?
Jax: Ok, you can't compare jason -- jerry's my brother.
Carly: And jason is my best friend.
Jax: Yeah, and when does it end? Where do you draw the line with jason? I really want to know.
Carly: When i know he's happy.
Jax: When you know he's happy.
Sonny: Um -- kate had it framed. I got to tell you, after going to that art gallery, i think my kid's got some talent.
[Jason chuckles]
sonny: Probably, you know, takes after carly. Who knows what the hell he's going to take after me.
Jason: "Love doesn't make mistakes." It's just something emily used to say.
Sonny: She's right. Love doesn't mess things up, you know? People do.
Elizabeth: All right, angel, are you ready for night-night? Come on. Oh. I love you so much. All i want to do is keep you safe.
Lucky: Pain can cloud your mind, make you think of things that you normally wouldn't. After my back injury, i got hooked on painkillers. I stopped caring about anything else but making that pain go away. It wound up killing my marriage. You got hurt, too, though -- only it was your heart, and all you want to do is hurt people back. That's what you got hooked on. I got help for my problem, and it's under control. There's not a day that goes by that i can't slip, something that i battle with.
Sam: I don't want to be like this.
Lucky: Well, then you got to change it. You got to do something about it.
Sam: I know. I know, and i will.
Lucky: You know, i saw elizabeth today. I told her that i would keep up with the lie about jake. I also tried to explain to her why you went off on poor carly. I told her you were so full of anger against her and jason, and that you would never want to see any harm come to jake.
Sam: Did elizabeth believe that?
Lucky: What matters is what i believe. I think of that little boy as my son. I don't know how else to think of him. I know i can't stand the thought of anything ever happening to him.
Elizabeth: Cam? Cameron, where are you? Cam-- cameron, i told you we don't play with matches. Cameron, you get back here. Come here!
sonny: It's been very difficult to get you out of my mind.
Luke: I can't thank you enough for smuggling me out of that hellhole.
Skye: So, where are you going?
Luke: I don't know. That's the best part of the deal.
Skye: Yeah, well, i just got through telling edward how lousy i am at goodbyes, so -- luke: So am i. You were one sweet touch of class around here, blaze.
Skye: Please, luke, i was a distraction. I don't think you ever took me any more seriously than that.
Luke: Oh, you're wrong. I took you much more seriously than you know. It's just that you set a standard that i just couldn't reach.
Skye: Hmm.
Luke: You know you dance rings around people just by standing still. You think you'll ever come back?
Gerald: Excuse me.
Skye: Oh, yes. Um -- i know, it's almost time to pick up lila rae. I'll be right there, thank you.
Luke: I looked a lot better in that suit than he does, don't you think?
Skye: If tracy's not good to you, i may have to come back.
Skye: Take care of yourself.
Luke: You, too.
Skye: See ya.
Luke: I hope so.
Lucky: The fact that you want me to have my boys with me, that you want to get to know them, is the only reason that i can still sit here and talk with you rationally about this. Yes, i have my problems with jason, too. He breaks the law. He thinks he's untouchable and he brings danger to the people around him. And i don't want any of that danger near elizabeth or those two little boys, whether it comes from jason or anyone else -- including you. I care about you, sam. We could be heading somewhere -- i don't know. I do know that if we were to have a future, it can't be about what we've done -- but what we do from here on out.
Elizabeth: You've got to stop running out of the house every time you get in trouble.
elizabeth: Is that the smoke detector?
Elizabeth: Oh, my God. Jake. Oh -- jake!Jake! Oh, my God! Jake, i'm coming! Jake!
Edward: Oh, dr. Ford, we needed to talk to you about the board meeting --
regina: We got a 45-year-old male coming in, severe knee injury.
Epiphany: What, a car accident?
Regina: Skateboard.
Epiphany: What kind of fool is this?
Regina: The kind we elect.
Mayor Floyd: Take it easy, take it easy! You're going to break the other knee. Ow. Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow.
Epiphany: Mr. Mayor.
Mayor Floyd: Hi.
Leo: How are you this evening?
Mayor Floyd: I'm -- I'm in pain. Could we do something about this, please? Come on, come on. Hurry up.
Leo: Sure, sure.
Mayor Floyd: Ow, ow -- easy, easy, easy, ow.
Leo: Easy.
Cassius: Right.
Leo: You all right?
Cassius: Ok, ok.
Angie: They've already turned us away, Joe.
Joe: They won't again.
Joe: Yeah, i -- i made sure I brought it with me.
Jason: Look into Anthony Zacchara's medical condition, both physical and mental.
Anthony: What do you want?
Elizabeth: Jake!
Joe: You just turned her away? I am going to blow this hospital!
Jan 14, 2008 11:04
Max: Got a tip you might be interested in. There might be a change in Anthony Zacchara's condition.
Jason: I heard the rumors -- he's starting to get some feeling back in his legs.
Max: Yeah? This one's different. This one says he might be getting his mind back, too.
Trevor: Moreau, we're going to meet your shipment at the border, and bring it downriver exactly as planned.
Jerry: [French accent] It's about time.
Trevor: Would you like to use our boats beyond the first shipment? That's a standing invitation.
Jerry: Perhaps. I would've hoped for a smoother transaction. Nevertheless, when the product is in the hands of the distributor, the girl will be released, ok?
Trevor: Look, I'm sorry it came to that. That was Moreau - and he is not happy.
Johnny: You're not the person he should be dealing with.
Trevor: Baby steps, Johnny, baby steps.
Johnny: Don't patronize me. I never approved any of this. We agreed to open up a lane, not let him use one of our boats to bring up his shipment.
Trevor: John, will you please just listen and learn? We've got to make a good-faith offering of our trust and cooperation.
Johnny: "Trust and cooperation," huh? He kidnapped Lulu and is holding her hostage to force my cooperation
Trevor: Now, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Did I not tell you to stay cool during that meeting, hmm? And did you not take a couple of guys out with a baseball bat? You caused this.
Johnny: They needed to know I meant business.
Trevor: Oh -- so, tit for tat, Moreau smacked you back. He took the Spencer girl.
Johnny: Which is exactly why I intend on brining her back.
Father Franco: Well, I hope we're feeling better.
Lulu: I've been kidnapped. How do you think I feel?
Father Franco: Well, once the drugs are out of your system, you'll -- you'll have a whole different outlook.
Lulu: I don't know what they told you, but I am not on anything. I just want to get out of here now.
Father Franco: Bless you, my -- my troubled child.
Lulu: I don't want your blessings! I know people, and when they find out where I am, you're going to need all the blessings you can get. I don't want your disgusting food, I want to go home now!
Logan: Hi. Where's Luke?
Tracy: That's the question of the hour. Why do you ask?
Logan: I got a bone to pick with him.
Tracy: Well, why don't you get in line? He's probably in an alley somewhere with a bottle of brandy scratching out his last will and testament in cigar ashes on a trash bin. And speaking of conniving snakes, Lulu didn't come home last night. Would you happen to know anything about that?
Logan: As a matter of fact, I would.
Edward: Oh, Dr. Ford? We needed to talk to you about the board meeting.
Regina: We got a 45-year-old male coming in, severe knee injury.
Epiphany: A car accident?
Mayor Floyd: Take it easy, take it easy, you're going to break the other knee -- ow. Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow.
Leo: How are you?
Mayor Floyd: I'm -- I'm in pain. Could we do something about this, please? Come on, come on, hurry up.
Mayor Floyd: Ow, ow -- easy, easy, easy -- ow.
Cassius: Easy, all right.
Mayor Floyd: Ok, ok.
Angie: They already turned us away, Joe.
Joe: Yeah, I -- I made sure I brought it with me.
Angie: Joe, what are you doing?
Joe: I'm getting you help, baby.
Regina: That's not how you get help.
Joe: According to this hospital, it's the only way. Now, my wife needs medical attention.
Russell: Well, we've already told you and we're very sorry, but you don't have medical insurance. You're going to have to go to the county, and I'm going to have to ask you to leave.
Joe: I'm afraid I can't do that.
[Smoke detector beeps]
Elizabeth: Is that the smoke detector?
Elizabeth: Oh, my god -- Jake. Oh. Jake?
[Jake cries]
Elizabeth: Jake, I'm coming! Jake!
Elizabeth: No --
Elizabeth: Ugh!
Woman: Elizabeth, what happened?
Elizabeth: The door's locked and there's a fire inside! Will you please take Cameron and call 911? Jake is still inside!
Elizabeth: Jake! What do I do? Oh, my god.
Max: Ahem.
Jason: What the hell's wrong with this guy?
Max: Claims he took some cold and flu medication. Apparently, it knocks him out.
Jason: How -- how long has he been like this?
Max: Eh, couple hours, give or take.
Jason: What's in here?
Max: Well, beats me. All I managed to get out of him was it came from Stan's mom, it had something to do with finding Stan's killer, and then I lost him.
Jason: Look, I -- I want you to wake him up. I don't care how you wake him up. I want him to look into Anthony Zacchara's medical condition, ok, both physical and mental. I want to know what can and can't bring that bastard back. Because if Trevor didn't arrange the ambush -- on Johnny or the hit on Sonny -- then maybe I was Anthony.
Max: Boss thinks maybe Johnny did it.
Jason: Well, I don't.
Max: Do you want to form an alliance?
Jason: No -- I've never said anything about an alliance. I just don't think everything points to Johnny.
Trevor: Huh. Johnny, don't try to be a hero. Find Lulu and double-cross Moreau -- that is a big error of judgment.
Johnny: I don't even know what we're shipping for him. Do you?
Trevor: John, it doesn't matter. You got to learn to play by the rules of the game, or you and that girl are going to wind up dead, and Moreau is going to take his business elsewhere.
Johnny: I don't need his business.
Trevor: Wrong again.
Johnny: Didn't ask for your opinion.
Trevor: Well, you're going to get it anyway. John, listen to me. Moreau is a strong ally, and we need him for our war against Corinthos.
Johnny: You mean your war against Corinthos? And that war started, what, when he was 6? What is it with you and my father starting fights with little kids? A little pathetic, don't you think?
Trevor: No. I was right about Sonny when he was a kid, and I am right about him now. He is the pathologic little bastard who tore apart my family, and he was the cause of me losing the woman that I love, and I am finally going to put that rabid little animal down.
Johnny: And now he's after Kate Howard. This war ain't about business. It's about your failed love life.
Trevor: You forget he set up an ambush for both of us, and we are lucky that we're not dead.
Johnny: I still find it a little odd that a man as powerful as Corinthos would've botched two hits in one night.
Trevor: So you got to thank your lucky stars that he had an off night.
Johnny: Luck got nothing to do with it.
Trevor: Johnny, we are lucky that we are alive.
Johnny: Really? It makes more sense to me that you set the whole thing up to force me into war.
Trevor: You know, John, when you reason like that, somewhere along the line you're going to trust the wrong person, and you are going to wind up dead.
Logan: If Luke's run off, he's gone to serious lengths to avoid me.
Tracy: Oh, he's risking his life to avoid his daughter's boyfriend? I don't think so!
Logan: Listen, ok, Luke saw that me and Lulu were getting close and he sent her off to think.
Tracy: What are you talking about?
Logan: Lulu and I were supposed to go out last night, and then I get a phone call that her father sent Lulu off to go see her mother. Lulu, not wanting to disappoint her disappointment of a father, decided to go.
Tracy: There's something wrong with that.
Logan: Yes, there is -- Luke's still got it out for me because I'm Scott's kid. It doesn't matter that Lulu cares about me, because daddy dearest doesn't.
Tracy: Well, you know what? Step mommy dearest doesn't approve, either. The only good news here is that Lulu's not around, I don't have to worry about her, and I can concentrate on finding Luke before he keels over dead from a lap dance -- excuse me.
Lulu: Oh -- oh -- oh!
Mayor Floyd: I want to see Dr. Patrick Drake.
Leo: He's upstairs with another patient.
Mayor Floyd: So go page him. I am the mayor.
Leo: Ahem. Well, with all due respect, Mr. Mayor, Patrick Drake is a neurologist, and you've injured your knee.
[Mayor Floyd sighs]
Cassius: Just to be clear, how did you do this again, Mayor?
Mayor Floyd: I fell off a skateboard.
Cassius: A skateboard.
Joe: Now, nobody moves. And nobody's a hero -- you just stay where you are, ok? Anybody tries to get away, anybody tries to call a cop, we're all going to blow up.
Woman: I don't want to die.
Epiphany: Nobody's going to die.
Joe: Quiet! You're stressing out Angie, and stress isn't good for the baby.
Kelly: Neither are explosives.
Joe: I'm sorry, what was that?
Kelly: Nothing. I talk when I'm nervous.
Joe: Yeah, well, not another word, unless you plan on giving my wife medical advice.
Angie: Joe, let's just go home. I'll be fine.
Joe: No, baby, no, we're not leaving. Now, my wife is sick! We came here, she needed --
Leo: What's going on out there?
Joe: She's pregnant, and you just turned her away?
Leo: Do you hear that?
Cassius: Yeah, yeah.
Leo: Excuse me, Mr. Mayor, one second. I'll be right back, I'll be right back.
Mayor Floyd: Wait -- wait a minute, where are you going? You can't leave me here.
Cassius: We'll be right back.
Joe: Keep turning people away in the world because they don't have the right paperwork. I mean, where the hell is your compassion?
Russell: We have rules to follow!
Joe: Well, your rules are not going to cost me my wife and my baby.
Angie: Joe, let's go, please. Please.
Joe: Now, someone help her now, or I -- so help me, I am going to set this thing off, and I will cost this hospital a lo more than some paperwork.
Sam: Joe? Is that -- are you like me? I have high blood pressure...
Kelly: Sam, be careful. He has a bomb.
Sam: Come on, Joe, what's going on?
Joe: You used to know what it was like to make ends meet, Sam. I'm making ends meet.
Edward: Sam, do you know this man?
Sam: Yes -- yeah, I do. His is name is Joe smith. He runs a garage out on -- out on route 6. He's an auto mechanic -- you're a good guy, Joe.
Joe: Yeah, well, being good hasn't gotten me much. The bank owns that garage now.
Angie: Joe, what are you saying?
Joe: I got stretched too far, Angie. When you told me about the baby, you started needing all these vitamins and things, and I just ran short. And then the bank, they -- they said they would help me, they said they would work with me, but they -- they lied, baby.
Sam: Ok, that's fine, Joe. We can work something out here.
Joe: No. I'm just not an everyday hero, Sam.
Angie: Don't be a fool, Joe, we'll be ok.
Joe: Baby, I used the mortgage payment to cover the last check to the insurance company. They said they never got it and they canceled the policy. I don't know what to do. Hey -- you want to be a hero, young man? Then you help my wife!
Russell: We can't do that.
Joe: Then I am going to blow this hospital all to hell.
Tracy: Where is he?
Coleman: Working it, lamb chop. Where's who?
Tracy: My pathetic excuse for a husband -- he would be the one with the hospital tags on.
Coleman: Well, I haven't seen him. But, you know, I have heard that angry wives make real good lovers -- I just bought a new bed. You know, maybe you and I can test that theory out, what do you say, for old time's sake?
Tracy: You're a pig. Check back in an hour.
Jerry: Hmm -- Mrs. Spencer. How nice to see you again.
Tracy: Nice for who?
Announcer: Today the role of Jasper Jacks is being played by Gideon Emery.
Jax: Tracy.
Tracy: Here's to men -- falling off the face of the earth.
Jerry: Hi, brother.
Jax: Interesting crowd. My wife wouldn't have happened in, would she?
Jerry: No. Why would she? I assume the private jet's under repair.
Jax: No, something about Jason. No, he hangs out here sometimes, I thought she might be with him. You're one to talk. I've never known you to peruse dive bars.
Jerry: Hmm, I didn't realize you kept such close tabs on me.
Jax: Yeah, if I kept closer tabs on you the last year, my life would be much less complicated. And in the hopes of keeping it that way, Alexis -- as a favor to me -- is now representing you, I understand.
Jerry: And she's doing an excellent job.
Jax: And because she's representing you as a favor to me, and because she's a dear friend to me, I'll feel responsible if working for you lands her in any trouble. Given that it's you, how could it be anything but?
Jerry: I see. Still hard feelings for not going into business with you, right?
Jax: You're the one who keeps saying you've changed, so why don't you prove it? Tell me what this big deal is that you've got going.
Anthony: Look what the cat dragged in. How did the cat drag you in? You're not family -- at least, not in the traditional sense. You afraid to look me in the eye?
Jason: No one's afraid of you anymore.
Anthony: Somebody must be, or you wouldn't be here.
[Anthony chuckles]
Anthony: Where's my Johnny? That's who you're afraid of? He's got you running scared already.
Jason: No, you see, Johnny -- Johnny's a kid. All he's doing is getting in trouble.
Anthony: You liar! That's his bitch of a mother. Mothers should never be allowed anywhere near a boy until he's 18. If Johnny is soft, it's because of her. If he's kind, it's because of her.
Jason: What part of him is because of you?
Anthony: Don't interrogate me. You don't know what the hell's going on -- you're not allowed, you don't have kids. You're not dynasty material. You're all about subservience, you're an order taker. My boy -- he's got protection, nobody gets to him. But you -- any kid of yours would have a bull's-eye for a birthmark.
Elizabeth: Agh!
Elizabeth: Jake?
[Elizabeth coughs]
Elizabeth: Jake, I'm coming!
Elizabeth: Jake? Jake? Jake? Oh, my god. Oh, my god.
Jason: You're sounding kind of sane.
Anthony: That's funny coming from you. What do you know about sane? Even on my worst day, I still got more working brain cells than you'll ever have walking down that hallway over there.
Jason: At least I can still walk down that hallway.
Anthony: So will I someday. Look at my foot. You see it moving?
Jason: No, it's not moving.
Anthony: I feel it. My toes are all over the place. I can feel the breeze on my foot when people pass. That feeling's going to spread, and then one day, that same foot will be coming down on your throat to crush your windpipe.
Trevor: Too bad, too bad, too bad, too bad. It didn't have to be like this. But Johnny's just like his father -- he's a hothead.
Mr. Vaughn: Johnny's pissed because he's being forced to bring in the Moreau shipment. He's not about to do that again.
Trevor: Well, he's got no choice, you know? Moreau -- he's a smart guy. And why? Because he forces us to use one of our boats, and then when that's done, Johnny's got to keep on doing business with him or he goes straight to prison. And, you know, whether he likes it or not, I have to protect the kid.
Mr. Vaughn: Well, he doesn't like you protecting him.
Trevor: Well, somewhere along the line, that kid is going to discover that he can't do anything without me. But for now, we got to get a strong foothold in Port Charles, and that means convincing the lovely Skye Quatermaine to release all of Alcazar's piers at the right price.
Trevor: Yeah, Lansing. Ah, well, not to worry, I'll handle it. Looks like we got another situation.
Johnny: I don't like waiting.
Logan: I got here as soon as I could.
Johnny: What's going on with Lulu's family?
Logan: Well, Luke's disappeared again. I gave her stepmother a story to cover up Lulu's disappearance, but it's not going to hold up very long -- especially if someone like Lulu's brothers decide to check into it.
Johnny: Well, it bought us some time to find her. What?
Logan: You -- you're the reason Lulu's missing in the first place.
Johnny: I never wanted Lulu hurt -- I kept pushing her away, and she kept coming back.
Logan: Oh, that's so sweet -- so you're her latest charity case. But when we do find her --
Johnny: I don't need your help finding Lulu. In fact, I probably would've already found her if I didn't have to sit here listening to you waste my time blaming me.
Logan: I'm just saying if anything happens to her, it's your own damn fault. She gave me a second chance and I'm not going to let you or anyone else ruin that.
Johnny: Let's try to find her, ok? All right, she's smart. Let's retrace her steps, see if she left us any clues. She probably doesn't know who has her or why, but I guarantee you, she'll find a way to contact somebody for help.
Max: Spinelli, drink up. Jason's got some work for you to do.
Spinelli: Yeah, because The Jackal stands ready to serve Stone Cold -- oh --
Max: Agh --
Spinelli: My life was almost obliterated by liquid stimulant.
[Max sighs]
Max: Can we get another cup of coffee over here, please?
Spinelli: Never again will I take another cold tablet whose side effects include coma. This whole time I've been in deep slumber, I could've been closer to finding the killer of Nurse Epiphany's cyber savvy son.
Max: Note to self -- when I want Spinelli to shut up, I just give him cold medication. Perfect.
Spinelli: Wow -- the protector of the night wears his heart on his sleeve and has a sense of humor. I mean, we have much in common.
Max: Focus, Spinelli. Focus.
Spinelli: Right. I should alert Stone Cold as to the box that Nurse Epiphany gave me. The personal belongings of her son will, no doubt, lead to some clue about his killer.
Max: Well -- right. Um -- but listen, Jason doesn't want your attention -- such as it is -- scattered, ok? What he wants you to do is tap into the hospital records and see what's going on with Anthony Zacchara, you got it?
Spinelli: The old demented one? Yeah, yeah, I'm on it.
Monica: Are you crazy? We have to help her.
Angie: Joe, this isn't like you. If you don't stop this, you'll go to jail and I'll have to raise our baby alone!
Russell: Listen to your wife.
Sam: Joe -- Joe, you are having a baby. Do you know how lucky you are? All the money in the world can't buy that kind of joy. Start being a father -- turn around and walk out of here.
Joe: And what kind of father will I be if I can't even take care of my sick wife?
Angie: We'll go to county, they'll help us.
Russell: There's nothing we can do for you here.
Cassius: Where's your conscience, Dr. Ford -- or don't you have one?
Epiphany: Cassius -- be quiet.
Russell: Well, if we treated everyone who walked through the door, we'd be out of business.
Kelly: Can we save this debate for another time? The man has a bomb strapped to his body.
Russell: Now, you are an orderly in my hospital, young man. Don't use that tone with me again, ever.
Leo: Hey, look -- Dr. Ford, look, maybe in this case, we can make an exception, because, you know, frankly --
Russell: In my hospital, we don't treat one patient when other people's lives are in danger.
Joe: Well, that danger's not going away until you treat my wife. This is my hospital now.
Sam: Come on, Joe, you're making a mistake. There are other options.
Joe: No, not for me, Sam. Baby, I can't give you money, but I can give you my life.
Monica: Look -- look, if you agree to leave this hospital peacefully, I -- I will promise, I will treat your wife.
Russell: You will not do that.
Monica: Don't you tell me what I will do --
Joe: No. No. I'm not leaving here. The second I walk out that door, you'll have me arrested before I make it to my truck, and then you'll ship Angie off to county -- if she's lucky. And then for you all, it'll be business as usual -- back to playing god. No, I'm not leaving her.
[Angie moans]
Joe: Baby -- baby, Angie! Angie?
Jan 14, 2008 11:08
[Spinelli grunts]
Max: Spinelli?
Spinelli: What?
Spinelli: Aligning my chakras.
Max: Stop. Look, I locked up Stan's box like you asked, but you better have something for Jason when he gets back.
Spinelli: Yeah, The Jackal is almost oxygenated and ready to complete the mission handed down by Stone Cold.
Max: Good, good. Hey -- ahem -- when you're done with that, do you mind getting on the litigator of the year website and just seeing if Ms. Miller has a reason to celebrate when she gets back?
Lulu's voice: Spinelli, it's Lulu. Somebody grabbed me, I don't know who. Please tell Jason, just hurry. With all the speed dialing, I don't know anybody else's phone number but yours, and I have no idea where I am. I'm -- I'm looking at a painting of -- of a guy in a robe with a spade and a watering can, and I don't know what's going on --
[Lulu screams]
Spinelli: Don't worry, fair Lulu, I will save you.
Logan: Think again.
Spinelli: What --
Logan: Let's go. Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
Elizabeth: Jake -- oh!
Elizabeth: Hang on, Jake! Mommy's going to save you! Come on -- oh, please -- please be ok for me.
[Siren]
Elizabeth: All right. Let's go.
Woman: The ambulance and fire department are on their way.
Elizabeth: I don't have time, I have to go to the hospital.
Cameron: Mommy, your leg is bleeding.
Elizabeth: It's ok, baby, mommy's going to be fine, and so is your brother. You stay with Irma until I get home, ok?
Cameron: Ok, mama.
Jerry: I was merely doing a favor for an old friend.
Jax: Given your history of favors, that only worries me more.
Jerry: I would've wound up worrying you if I'd refused. Come on, how about a round -- on you?
Jax: What are we talking about Jerry, hmm? Microchips? Secret government plans? Smuggling?
Jerry: No, no, no, nothing -- I can happily and honestly say no to all -- nothing more, brother.
Jax: All right. Carly and I are having a hard time, mostly because of whatever it is she has going on with Jason. And then there's her ex-husband, our city's friendly neighborhood gangster, ready to start a war with the Zacchara family -- not to mention this crazy killer going around and strangling women.
Jerry: What is it you want from me, Jax?
Jax: I'd like to look at you and see at least one front that doesn't represent disaster in my life -- you know, since I'd like to reach a point where I can stop fathering you --
Jerry: And father a baby with Carly.
Joe: Angie, baby -- baby, you ok?
Epiphany: Please leave her.
Sam: Joe, Joe, let the doctors do their job.
Kelly: Angie? Angie?
Joe: You let them work on her, or so help me, I will set this off!
Russell: You'll kill your wife.
Joe: Oh, is that worse than what you're doing -- standing there watching her -- and maybe the baby -- die, while you do nothing?
Epiphany: We are trying to help! Look, I have lost a child, and I am sick and tired of all this pain and death! So if you've got a problem with me helping this woman and her baby, take it up with me afterwards. Otherwise, stay the hell out of my way!
Anthony: I think seeing Johnny all the time kept his mother in my head. Johnny loved his mother, but she's been gone for a while now. His love will fade. He's my son now, and he's got what it takes to run my business.
Jason: He's green.
Anthony: Green grows up. It turns to brown. It gets tough and hard and grows thorns. Johnny will rake your eyes out with those thorns someday. He's his father's son.
Jason: People die in the time it takes to grow up in this business, you know that.
Anthony: Not Johnny. He'll grow up quickly. He has to. If he doesn't, his mother wins, but she won't. His mother can't beat nature, nature wins out. A boy becomes his father. He lives out his father's life or he dies trying.
Jason: What do you -- what do you know about this guy named Moreau?
Anthony: I never heard of him. One more clown in the conga line -- they come, they go. Guys like me -- they stay just to piss off people like you. I can see it on you -- the hate. If you need to be some punk coward and kill a man in his bed, go ahead. And if not, sneak out the same hole you snuck in. It's time for my prayers.
Jason: What do you pray for?
Anthony: That's the wrong question.
Jason: Is there a right question?
Anthony: "Who do I pray to?"
Anthony: About your sister -- I did not strangle her. I could have. It's too bad she's dead. Killing her would've been the first thing on my to-do list when I get out of here -- and I will get out.
Jason: Yeah? When?
Jax: I've toyed with the idea of wanting to be a father.
Jerry: And does Carly want to toy back?
Jax: Well, it's -- it's difficult for her to conceive. She -- um -- she had a miscarriage several years back.
Jerry: What about Morgan?
Jax: A happy miracle. It might be asking too much to push for another one. I know stress levels are a factor, and these days, there doesn't seem to be anything but.
Jerry: Well, then I suggest you get your private jet ready and take your beautiful, nosy, stressed-out woman away, and keep toying.
Jax: Are you trying to get me out of town?
Tracy: Ooh, that's a good idea. All men should leave town. And if you run into my husband, tell him he's a dead man walking. Special delivery. You can collect your 25-cent tip when you recycle.
Coleman: Uh-uh, you can't leave now, sweetheart, you're just -- you're getting started, huh?
Tracy: Get your hands off me.
Coleman: Come on --
Tracy: Get your hands off me!
Coleman: Ok! Easy, man. Just a little affection.
Jax: Is there a problem?
Tracy: Yes. When god created Eve, he should've quit while he was ahead. And if you'll excuse me -- oh!
Jax: Oh, oh, oh --
Spinelli: I have no idea where fair Lulu is being held, and even if I did, I wouldn't tell you.
Johnny: Then maybe you'll talk to me.
Spinelli: Oh, god -- the young vespid in league with the crabby commando. This does not bode well.
Logan: You know, Spinelli, we may still hate each other, but we care about Lulu, right?
Spinelli: Yeah.
Logan: Right. And since Johnny is the one who made her disappear, Johnny's going to help us get her back.
Spinelli: Is that really necessary?
Johnny: Lulu was taken to force me into making a shipment -- of what, I don't know. But if we're going to find her, we need to work together and not tell anybody.
Spinelli: Ok, we should tell Stone Cold, we could use his wise counsel.
Logan: Spinelli, you're wasting our time. Now, here's what I want you to do -- tell us what you know, or laptop here is going to take a swim.
Spinelli: No, please don't take The Jackal's link to this world and others. Oh -- oh, ok, ok, ok. Fair Lulu left a message on my cell, it made little sense. That's all I know.
Lulu: Let me out!
Man: You can do that all night long if you want to. Door's not going to break, and nobody's going to hear you. Have fun.
Anthony: What the hell do you want?
Trevor: Anthony. That any way to greet an old friend?
Anthony: Is that what you are now?
Trevor: Well, that's what I've always been -- your friend, your consigliere, keeper of all your old secrets -- and, by god, you had a lot of them.
Anthony: "Have," not "had." I'm not past tense yet.
Trevor: All the more reason why you still need me to keep them.
Anthony: How many have you got?
Trevor: To, I got enough to protect me -- and you, if need be. But Jason Morgan -- no good for secrets. So why don't we find a mutual way to keep each other's secrets safe? What do you say?
Jerry: I can s you have your hands full, so I won't take any more of your time. But take my advice and go on a trip with your wife, ok?
Jax: Yeah. Take my advice -- don't let me find out you're back to your old ways.
Jerry: Yes, all right, little brother, I won't.
Jax: I thought you had a board meeting.
Tracy: I thought I had a husband.
Singer: Step back 'cause I do what I want to watch your back
Jerry: Yes, hold off on coming to town. Yes, I'm handling it. The Zaccharas are bringing the shipment. It'll be ready for distribution.
Man: Man, you better pull this off. We both know just how much you owe me, old friend.
Lulu's voice: Guy in a robe with a spade and a watering can, and I don't know what's going on --
Johnny: Not a whole lot to go on -- a weird guy in a robe.
Spinelli: A monk. Perhaps she's in a monastery.
Logan: Smart. There are, what, only a few thousand of those in the world, Spinelli?
Spinelli: Look, it's a start. And I'm sure Lulu was somewhat comforted by the fact that she was able to reach The Jackal and ask for help, so --
Logan: Spinelli, you're a freak.
Johnny: Oh -- whoa. Enough.
Spinelli: Look, I'm sure Lulu wanted me to reach out to Stone Cold. We should respect her wishes.
Logan: Uh-uh-uh.
Johnny: Listen -- if we're going to find Lulu, we can't talk to Morgan or anybody else. It's not up for discussion.
Spinelli: Ok, Lulu's fatal flaw may be her questionable taste in -- well, both of you -- but I am her best friend. She is brave and resourceful, and she will not back down.
Johnny: Which could get her into a lot more trouble.
[Banging on door]
Jason: Hey -- I'm a -- I'm a friend of the woman who lives here. Can you tell me what happened? What about the others inside? There's two little boys.
Fireman: I'm sorry, sir, I don't have that information, but the fire's contained. There's no one in there.
Cameron: Jason!
Jason: Hey, hey, hey, cam. Whoa, are you -- are you ok? Ok, where's your mom and your little brother?
Irma: Elizabeth is a very brave woman -- she ran into the fire to save her baby. They went to the hospital.
Kelly: How far along are you in your pregnancy?
Angie: Six months. I got the flu or something.
Kelly: Ok, what are your symptoms?
Angie: Trouble breathing, cramps, fever.
Joe: What's wrong with her?
Kelly: We have to run some tests.
Joe: Well, run them.
Elizabeth: Somebody help me, please! There was a fire and he breathed in a lot of smoke!
Sam: Take Jake and leave the hospital -- now.
Elizabeth: What?
Sam: Go.
Elizabeth: No, Jake needs a doctor!
Joe: Sorry, lady, but that's not going to happen.
Sonny: Good thing that I'm here. I got big plans for tonight. Sam: No! Epiphany: Give me the baby. Elizabeth: I cut myself. Lucky: Jake is being held hostage? Jason: Where's Elizabeth? Joe: Whoa, whoa! Who are you?
Jan 15, 2008 10:28
Nadine: Ok, great. Perfect! Thank you so much.
Nikolas: Nurse Crowell, good to see you.
Nadine: Hi, right back at you.
Nikolas: Has the -- has the board meeting started yet? I'm late, but I'd like to make an appearance, if I could.
Nadine: Oh, it must be your lucky night. They haven't even started yet.
Nikolas: Oh. So what's got you so chipper?
Nadine: I just got tickets to a sold-out Chieftains game for this weekend.
Nikolas: Local basketball, right?
Nadine: Uh-uh, hockey. I take it you've never been to one of their games?
Nikolas: No, no. No, I haven't. Actually, I've never gone to a hockey game, period.
Nadine: Oh, man, you're missing out. I love hockey, especially when the players start throwing punches and knocking each other against the boards. Oh, my gosh, it's great. And one time, I even caught a puck. It was -- um -- I will see you later.
Nikolas: Ok.
Emily: See? Hockey games. Huh. Just one more thing you haven't gotten to do yet. That's why you can't give up hope that Patrick's going to help you.
Patrick: Hey. I was looking for you.
Leyla: Here I am.
Patrick: You have a minute?
Leyla: Yes, doctor.
Patrick: Patients Carter and Steinberg both need alterations to the medication. Steinberg's not responding to the heparin, and Carter needs to up his -- something on your mind, nurse?
Leyla: This is really easy for you, isn't it?
Patrick: What, being a doctor?
Leyla: Huh -- I suppose that's part of it.
Patrick: What is "part of it," Leyla?
Leyla: Being a man, a player. I suppose that's what it takes to be a good surgeon? Slice, mess with someone's head, and move on. Don't let emotions get in the way, eh?
Kate: I can't believe you're here.
Sonny: Well, I can't believe you tore up a ticket to go to Paris and was on your way back to -
Kate: Home?
Sonny: Uh-uh.
Kate: You were going to say "home."
Sonny: No.
Kate: What? I've lived in Manhattan so long, it is my home.
Kate: Do you hear that?
Sonny: Hmm?
Kate: That, the sounds of New York. I know them so well, I know them like the back of my hand. The brakes of the taxicabs --
Kate: The clicking of the $500 pair of heels, the stressed-out phone conversations, the shopping bags. You know, New Yorkers -- we have this term for people who live outside the city. It's called "bridge and tunnel." You may have heard it. It's supposed to be an insult. It's hard to believe that I actually grew up on the other side of that bridge listening to the belt parkway.
Sonny: Well, it's just a place that we both knew. I mean, it's not -
Kate: You know, my mother -- she -- she used to say that home is not a place that you live, it's the place that lives inside of you. And I guess if that's true, you're my home.
Sonny: Well, that means that it's a good thing that I'm here, right?
Kate: No, Sonny, it's not. You have to go.
Joe: Everybody on that side of the room now! Now! You two, let's go.
Elizabeth: No, you don't understand. There was a fire in my house. I had to go in and get my baby. We need to see a doctor right now!
Joe: Yeah, well, you got your child. My wife collapsed. We could lose ours.
Leo: All right, look, Mr. Smith, all right, look, we are able to help you both. That's not a problem.
Joe: Look, my wife needs treatment, go someplace else.
Elizabeth: No, I won't! We need a doctor!
Epiphany: Elizabeth, give me the baby.
Joe: You know what? Everybody, stop! Just stop right now! Now, you go, or we're all going to blow up. Now!
Sam: No!
Sonny: What -- what do you mean, I got to go? I dropped everything to come here for you, and then you were about to drop everything -
Kate: Ok, there is a restraining order against you. You are not supposed to be in Manhattan.
Sonny: Yeah, I know -- the little worm who badmouthed me at the party. I had to introduce his head to a wall -- who cares about him?
Kate: If anyone finds out that you are here, you will be arrested.
Sonny: I take risks all the time. You're worth it.
Kate: Well, it's not worth it to me if I have to see you in jail again.
Sonny: Come here. Come here. We're safe here, you know why? Because nobody knows what happens behind closed doors, or who's behind them. You know?
Sonny: See what I'm saying?
Julius: Knock-knock, gorgeous, it's party time! But this was obviously private.
Robin: I wasn't eavesdropping. I just wanted to tell you that I ordered another autopsy on Mrs. Quinn.
Patrick: Patient we lost on New Year's Eve. Why?
Robin: That's just it -- we shouldn't have lost her.
Patrick: You picked me to be the surgeon. Now you're saying it's my fault she died?
Robin: Ok, you know what? Please, don't take your bad mood out on me.
Patrick: Sorry. Got raked over the coals once and I was expecting it to happen again.
Robin: Mrs. Quinn was under my care for months, and I am having a problem with the fact that she's dead.
Patrick: It wasn't your fault. She got hit by a drunk driver. We did everything we could and she bled out.
Robin: It shouldn't have happened.
Patrick: She was anemic, Robin.
Robin: I know. I had her on a new prescription drug that seemed to be working fine. But when we did surgery on her, her platelet count was so low, it was like she wasn't taking it at all.
Patrick: Maybe she stopped taking it.
Robin: That's not like her.
Patrick: We lose people in here. Sometimes it doesn't make sense.
Robin: Anyway, there's another reason for her death, and I will figure it out. And by the way, I know it's none of my business, but I don't think you understand how hard Leyla fell for you. You may be this brilliant surgeon, but when it comes to women, you are dumb as a box of rocks.
Nikolas: Spencer's supposed to be tested to see if he has the genetic marker for the tumor. The doctors say it usually doesn't show -- show up before the age of 5, unless -- unless it's passed directly from the parent. I should have brought him in by now.
Emily: But you're afraid to.
Nikolas: Well, what I'm afraid of is losing him, like I lost you. And maybe -- maybe my father passed it along to me. Maybe that's why he was so crazy all the time. I don't know how I could live with myself knowing that I gave something to my son that could possibly kill him.
Leyla: Mr. Cassadine?
Nikolas: Yeah?
Leyla: Hi. Um -- Ms. Sneed sent me to tell you that the board meeting's been postponed. Apparently, half the board isn't here yet, so -
Nikolas: What -- what -
Leyla: We're going to page Dr. Ford and -
Nikolas: What the hell is wrong with this place? What, you people can't be bothered to meet and discuss the future of this hospital?
Emily: Nikolas, stop.
Nikolas: No, no, I'm not going to -- why -- why should I keep pouring money into this place if nobody knows how to use it?
Robin: Nikolas, calm down.
Nikolas: What? What? No, why should I make adjustments for everybody else around here?
Emily: Because you're sick.
Patrick: Because you're sick.
Nikolas: Who the hell are you? Aren't you supposed to be a -- a doctor or something? What -- what exactly have you been doing except canceling all my appointments and nailing every nurse you can get your hands on?
Robin: Nikolas -- all right we're going to find someplace for you to lie down.
Nikolas: No, no, I don't want to lie down!
Patrick: Robin -
Sam: Joe, listen to me. Elizabeth is a nurse here in this hospital. She's family here. Let her stay and get help for her baby.
Joe: Why? Why should I care about her? Angie's my family.
Joe: And she's still laying on the floor. Nobody's working fast enough to help her. What is this girl, a friend of yours or something?
Sam: No -- not exactly, no, but I do know her, and I know that she would not bring her child here unless it were something serious. There are enough doctors to go around.
Elizabeth: Ok.
Epiphany: Come on, give me -- give me the baby.
Joe: Hey, I didn't say you could move.
Angie: Joe, don't.
Sam: Come on, turning her away is no different than the way you were turned away -- maybe even worse because you actually know what she's going through. She's asking for your help, Joe. Give it to her.
Joe: Ok, fine, fine! But nobody else gets in here. And would somebody get my wife up off the floor, please?
Epiphany: Ok. I need O2 sats and vitals. Get me a carbon monoxide level, blood gasses, and a B.M.T., Regina. Come on.
Elizabeth: Thank you. Oh.
Leo: Oh. Are you ok?
Elizabeth: No, I cut myself.
Mayor Floyd: Well, obviously, the D.A. isn't picking up. That's why I'm calling you.
Scott: Where are you calling from?
Mayor Floyd: General Hospital.
Scott: Uh -- yeah -- um -- that was quite a spill you took at the opening of the skateboard park there, Mayor Floyd.
Mayor Floyd: Just listen, Baldwin. We have a situation here, and I need you to handle it, and handle it quietly. You do a good job, we'll see about moving you up that ladder.
Sam: Kelly will take good care of her. She's a good doctor. You don't have to do this anymore, Joe.
Joe: Yes, I do. Look, we don't go anywhere until I find out what's wrong with Angie and the baby, and that they're going to be fine. So everybody get nice and calm, because I'm not.
Jason: Where's Elizabeth?
Joe: Whoa, whoa -- who are you?
Jason: Ok, easy, I just -- I just came here to see a patient. There was a fire.
Sam: Elizabeth is here with Jake.
Jason: I need to see them.
Joe: Yeah, why should I let you go anywhere? Who the he are you? Are you the father or something?
Alexis: We could always send them back with a thank-you note.
Diane: I was thinking more of a ritual burning.
Alexis: Nobody said that we couldn't keep them.
Diane: You really want to relive that night?
Alexis: I kind of see them as a badge of honor.
Diane: Given that neither of us made it to the "Litigator of the Year Award" ceremony -
Alexis: And that we lost to a blood-sucking Beverly Hills attorney, of all people.
Diane: In a cheap knockoff.
Alexis: Wasn't even this year's. Hi there. Come on in.
Ric: This scares me on some level.
Diane: I'll tell you what's scary. What's scary is now both of us having to face Kate Howard and explain how we ruined not one but both of the dresses she loaned us.
Alexis: We'll do it together. There's power in numbers.
Diane: Do you want to do it before or after the insurance hearing on the damage and subsequent theft of the rental car?
[Alexis laughs]
Alexis: Yeah, well, don't forget about the fact that we're going to be sued by the airlines and that awful flight attendant.
Diane: Bitch with wings.
Alexis: You got it.
Ric: Did you two bond or something after biker bar night?
Diane: We found a form of kinship, yes. I think it really kicked in on the bus ride home.
Alexis: That was nice, wasn't it?
Diane: It was cold, but nice.
Alexis: Not that we're still not going to go head to head in court.
Diane: Absolutely. Where's the fun without the friction?
Alexis: Exactly. But you'll still be our favorite ass to kick.
Diane: Ok. I know a terrific dry cleaner who I think can even get this stain of -- god only knows what this stain is -- out of the camo.
Alexis: Good luck.
Diane: And we will go from there.
Alexis: All righty. So you'll call me, then, huh?
Diane: You call me.
Alexis: Oh!
Diane: I'll call you.
Alexis: Ok. So I made a friend. Why the long face?
Ric: Well, it's nothing.
Alexis: Yes, it is. You have been subdued and enigmatic since I got back. What's going on?
Ric: No, I just -- I want to -- I want to -- I want to say goodbye to Kristina and Molly.
Alexis: Where are you going?
Kate: You remember Julius.
Sonny: How could I forget?
Kate: And you remember Sonny.
Julius: Of course, the boyfriend. Dramatically escorted out in handcuffs like we were in some old prohibition film. I love that. Who knew we'd be seeing him again so soon? Well, at least he has good taste.
Kate: Sonny surprised me. We were just talking. You know, I'll come to the party late.
Sonny: If -- if at all.
Kate: You go on without me.
Julius: Warren's going to announce your official return to "Couture."
Kate: I don't need to be there for that.
[Julius sighs]
Julius: All right, I can go stag. Enjoy your evening. Make it worth her while, dimples. She's going to miss a hell of a lot of adoration.
Sonny: Yeah, I'll make up for it.
Julius: No doubt.
Kate: Julius -
Julius: Yeah?
Kate: No one can know that Sonny is here.
Julius: Oh, yes. We all heard about the restraining order.
Kate: Promise me.
Julius: Lips are sealed. Anyways, I love you. Anything for you.
Sonny: You said it was a party. You didn't mention anything about them celebrating "Couture" for you.
Kate: Hmm, party, Paris -- what difference does it make? You're home, right? Oh, but I am serious about you leaving.
Sonny: Well, I'm serious about staying, because I got some -- I got big plans for tonight.
Nikolas: What happened?
Patrick: Get away from her.
Leyla: He had another blackout.
Patrick: Leyla and Nadine, get me a gurney. We need to get Robin to an exam room.
Robin: I'm fine. Don't be ridiculous.
Patrick: No, you're not. We need to get you checked out. You need to do the same.
Nikolas: I'm sorry.
Leyla: I know.
Nikolas: Did you see this?
Leyla: There really wasn't much to see. I mean, you seemed agitated, you were rubbing your head, and when I first walked in, you seemed to be talking to someone, but there was nobody here.
Jason: The woman is a close friend.
Joe: Well, then you're close enough where you're standing.
Jason: Well, what's the harm in me going to see her?
Joe: I don't know. Maybe I'm a little nervous because you got a gun under your jacket. Well, I'm packing more power here. But just to be safe, why don't we take it out and put it on the floor, huh? Oh, come on, just do it!
Jason: Nice and easy.
Joe: You a cop?
Jason: What are you doing? Who are you?
Joe: I asked you first.
Monica: I'll tell you who he is.
Edward: Monica -
Joe: I wasn't talking to you.
Monica: He's a hit man for the city's most notorious gangster, and he brings violence down on everybody he touches, so I'd be very careful if I were you. It's not safe. You can ask my daughter. Oh, well, you can't do that because she's dead because of the company he keeps. And the worst part of it all is that he happens to be my son.
Emily: I tried to stop you.
Nikolas: I know. After you died, the blackouts stopped. Seeing you seemed to calm me down. But not this time. It's getting worse.
Patrick: Hey, will you please stop being so stubborn and let me examine you?
Robin: Will you please stop being so overprotective? We are not a couple anymore.
[Robin sighs]
Robin: I need you to just back off, ok?
Ric: I, um -- I need to get away.
Alexis: What have you done to Sonny?
Ric: Ha. That's funny. That should be your first reaction. I guess it would be my reaction, too. It's been my life here. Pretty much everywhere. Well, some kids were born with a birthmark, I was born into hatred by my father.
Alexis: Because of Sonny.
Ric: Yeah. I was punished for Sonny my entire life. Hell, I couldn't do anything but hate him. Everything that I did was -- was about that hatred, and now, I finally realize that it's punishing me. So I need something new, I just don't know what.
Alexis: So if you want to run off with Skye for a couple of weeks, then you should -
Ric: No, she's gone. Skye left town.
Alexis: Why?
Ric: I don't know. I think she was done. She just needed one more -- one more push to send her packing, and I guess that was me.
Alexis: I see.
Ric: You know, we had started to -- started to find things that we had in common. You know, dangerous things. Self-destructive things. You know, things that I guess would cause me to act in a way that I'd have to be running from Sonny. Only problem is, you can't run from something like this. I'm kind of tired of running, you know? I just need to kind of wander off and -- and think about -- maybe even deal with this obsession for my brother before it destroys me completely.
Kate: Should I even ask what -- well, how Port Charles is?
Sonny: No, no, it's -- the phone call has nothing to do with Port Charles. I told you, I have plans for tonight, so -
Sonny: You know.
Kate: Yeah. Presumptuous of you.
Sonny: No, optimistic. I know what I want. I know what stands in the way. I'm not presuming anything.
Sonny: I love you, and I'm willing to make adjustments to prove that to you.
Kate: You don't have to prove anything to me. I know how you feel.
Sonny: How do you feel?
Officer: Open up, police!
[Knock]
Edward: Monica, Jason mourns his sister, too.
Monica: Good, he should. But he doesn't mourn like I do, not like a parent.
Kelly: I want to take Angie into a cubicle.
Joe: No, you -- you do what you do right here.
Kelly: I need to examine her in private.
Edward: You have to trust somebody.
Joe: I love you, baby. You're going to be ok. Don't worry about me.
Angie: Oh, I do.
Joe: I know you do. But what matters now is you and our son, ok?
Angie: Ok.
Kelly: Ok.
Kelly: Come over here. All right.
Joe: And that's it. Nobody else gets in.
Russell: I have to call a lockdown. J
oe: Do it, because nobody's getting out, either -- not until I know my Angie and my baby are ok.
Kelly: You have to leave.
Mayor Floyd: What? But I'm injured.
Kelly: There is a guy out there with a bomb. If we don't help his wife, kaboom. Now give us some room.
Mayor Floyd: Yeah.
Elizabeth: My baby -- my baby.
Leo: Hey -- hey, I promise, he's in good hands, ok? Right now, we need to focus on you, all right? You lost a lot of blood and we want to make sure we don't miss anything, ok? Just relax.
Epiphany: Hey, Dr. Julian?
Leo: Yeah? Epiphany: When you're done here, we need you in the next cubicle.
Leo: Ok.
Elizabeth: But Jake needs me.
Leo: Hey, no, no, stay still, stay still, stay still. Just relax, relax, relax. I promise, he's fine. Relax.
Epiphany: Jason's here. I thought that would calm you down. Now, you did good. Just relax and let us do what we do. Ok?
Jason: It looks like you're having a rough time. And I'm sorry, but I need to see about my friend. She needs to know that I'm here.
Joe: What, are you giving orders now? You can't give orders.
Sam: No, Jason, Jake suffered from smoke inhalation and -
Jason: I need to hear it from a doctor.
Joe: I'd be a little bit nicer to this lady if I were you. She's the reason I let your friend and her kid get treated, rather than put them back out in the street.
Jan 15, 2008 10:32
Patrick: I realize we're not a couple anymore, but it doesn't mean I can't care about you.
Robin: Ok, yes, but it also means that you have to have boundaries, which you don't understand because it's so easy for you.
Patrick: Ok, you know what? Everybody needs to stop saying that or I'm going to get a complex.
Robin: That's just it -- you can't get a complex.
Patrick: So now I'm unfeeling?
Robin: No, you just pick and choose when you feel, which is very confusing to the rest of us, you know? You -- you tell me that you love me but not enough to compromise to have a child with me, and then you turn around and do everything you can to interfere with the fact that I am trying to have a child without you.
Patrick: I know Kelly referred you to a sperm bank website. I didn't interfere with that, did I?
Robin: No. By the way, I picked a donor.
Kate: Oh, officer? Is there a problem?
Det. Janco: Yeah, someone reported that Sonny Corinthos is back in town -- in this hotel, probably in this room.
Kate: Oh. Well, I'm alone.
Det. Janco: Mr. Corinthos is here, he's broken the restraining order that was filed against him and he will spend more time in jail.
Kate: Yeah, you look very familiar. Aren't you Detective Janco?
Det. Janco: Yes, I -
Kate: Yeah. You unfairly arrested my friend at the art gallery opening.
Det. Janco: Oh, Mr. Corinthos assaulted a man.
Kate: No, I remember telling you how Mr. Lambere was inebriated and tripped, and by the way, how'd your wife like the show?
Det. Janco: Well, she liked it. I fell asleep. Well, look at that -- room service for two. Looks like you're not alone. You know, this could be aiding and abetting.
Kate: Why can't you just leave us alone?
Det. Janco: I'm going to have to search the premises.
Julius: The hell you will! Hmm.
Alexis: Look, you and I haven't been very close lately but I certainly know how you operate, and there's something missing here. There's -- there's a catalyst missing. I don't know exactly what's going on with you and Skye, but you have not been together long enough for that to have this kind of effect on your mood.
Ric: Look, Skye made a very profound exit. She left me with a bit of a challenge -- a chance to change my life or torpedo it to hell once and for all.
Alexis: How'd she do that?
Ric: She left me Lorenzo Alcazar's waterfront property. I know, I know. Huh. It's like giving a troubled child a bomb to play with. Isn't it?
Lucky: Why all the secrecy pulling me off my stakeout?
Scott: Look, I just got a call from Mayor Floyd. He's in the hospital, he took a little bit of a spill. Now, there's some wacko in there who's holding the whole E.R. hostage. The guy's wife is sick. He has no insurance for her, so he's taken out his own insurance -- he's strapped a bomb to himself.
Lucky: Where's Mac and the bomb squad?
Scott: Well, the mayor wants this handled rather discreetly, Lucky.
Lucky: Mayor Floyd's being held hostage and he's worried about his image?
Scott: Well, he just doesn't want this to turn into some big circus like the Metro Court where the guy gets a little nervous, panics, and he blows everybody up.
Lucky: So what do you want me to do?
Scott: I want you to take the guy out.
Lucky: We have men trained for that.
Scott: Well, there's a little bit of a time factor. Besides, we've got Morgan in there. He might come in handy.
Jason: How far along is your wife?
Joe: Six months.
Angie: After the second miscarriage, we stopped trying.
Joe: I knew Angie was disappointed, but I almost lost her that last time.
Angie: The look on his face when he came in and held me and said we'd never do this again.
Joe: I wanted a girl, but I know that's not what most guys want.
Angie: I wanted a boy.
Joe: I wanted Angie to have somebody to fuss over besides me.
Angie: I thought Joe needed somebody to teach all the wonderful things he knows how to do with his hands.
Joe: You know, I thought the garage would make it. I -- I really thought people cared, but I was wrong. They -- nobody cares.
Angie: Nobody cares more than Joe. He's so gentle and kind and romantic. We're still like teenagers. The baby was an accident.
Joe: The baby was a miracle.
Angie: We weren't ready for it.
Joe: Yeah, if anything happens to it, I don't know what we'll do.
Ric: My father wanted this property -- the piers, the warehouses, shipping lanes, all of it. So did Sonny, so did Luke, and so did Jerry. Probably should keep this to myself seeing as how I haven't signed my name to the transfer of the property. I don't know. I don't know -- I'm resisting temptation. For what, I don't know.
Alexis: Are you going to be ok?
Ric: I don't know. That's a big question, isn't it? Hmm, guess you're going to have to tune in tomorrow to find out what Ric Lansing does with his bomb.
Alexis: Is that why you're going away?
Ric: Well, I need a change. I don't know where I'm going or -- or what I'm going to do. But I had put in for a leave at work, and penciled your name in as temporary D.A.
Alexis: You're giving me my job back?
Ric: You're just going to have to tell them whether you want it or not.
Alexis: Oh.
Ric: And I'm kind of hoping that you're going to save my place for me. Scott Baldwin's already looking to scratch my name off the door. You know what? I'm -- I'm going to check in on the girls and -- look, you got my phone number, right, if you need to contact me about them?
Alexis: Ok.
Ric: But I don't want to talk about business, either, you know? I don't particularly care what happens in this town and -- who knows? I might not even want to be the D.A. when I come back.
Alexis: Yeah, well, we'll cross that bridge when you go.
Ric: That's the big question, isn't it? It's one I haven't asked myself in a lot of years. "What does Ric want to be when he grows up?"
Julius: Sorry I'm late, sweetheart. Traffic was a nightmare. Ah. Thank god you already ordered. I couldn't be more parched. And you would be wasting this fabulous woman's time because -
Det. Janco: This is for the two of you?
Julius: Yeah.
Kate: He thinks I'm harboring Sonny Corinthos.
Julius: Huh. Oh, my dear man, there are a dozen robberies, several cases of prostitution, drug use happening in your precinct right now as we speak not to mention the seven fashion crimes that I passed in the lobby -- actually, make that eight. And you're wasting our time searching for Al Capone? Ms. Howard and I are expected at a party that the mayor -- her personal friend -- will be attending, so could you please gives your name so that we can have you busted down to garbage detail?
Det. Janco: I'm not giving you anything.
Julius: Katie, sweetheart, did tall, dark, and disheveled give you a search warrant?
Kate: Do you have a search warrant?
Det. Janco: No.
Julius: And that means -
Kate: Hmm, we could be talking harassment.
Julius: Yes, and --
Kate: A very public civil suit.
Julius: Yes, a mismatched one, too.
Det. Janco: Enjoy your party.
Julius: Toodles, cookie. Hmm. Oh. It's freezing outside and I -
Kate: Julius?
Julius: Forgot my scarf.
Kate: Thank you.
Sonny: Thanks.
Julius: You know, you may think you're all that and a French baguette. I did that for this one-in-a-million lady, Ms. Kate Howard. I personally don't know if you're worth all the trouble, but she is. Hurt her and you will never forgive yourself. I love you.
Sonny: You know, it's funny -- I've never been compared to a baguette before.
Sonny: He's right about -- about one thing. I mean, hurting you hurts me. I've been here, what, not even an hour and I've brought everything down on you?
Kelly: It looks like you could have a respiratory problem.
Angie: I -- I have asthma, then I got the flu.
Kelly: Did you go to the doctor's?
Angie: Even when we did have insurance, we tried to keep doctors' visits down. I use over-the-counter remedies. Can you go outside and see if Joe is -
Kelly: If I go outside without any good news, it's going to be bad for all of us, so let's find some.
Cassius: Nurse Thompson? Dr. Julian needs you in cubicle three.
Regina: Ok.
[Baby cries]
Cassius: Aw. How's the little guy doing?
Epiphany: He's stable for now. He's a fighter, just like my Stanford was.
Joe: Your job is to hurt people?
Jason: If you're worried about what happens after this -- you don't have to worry about me unless someone I care about gets hurt.
Sam: This is a lot more serious than I thought.
Russell: This is still my hospital.
Sam: Right now this is Joe's hospital. You don't want to do anything that's going to spook him.
Edward: Then what do you suggest we do?
Joe: What are you talking about?
Sam: Nothing. I was just asking if they heard anything or if they could find out anything about anybody.
Mayor Floyd: Hey -- oh!
Joe: And what are you doing? Get back over there. Crawl if you have to -- I don't care.
[Mayor Floyd groans]
Joe: So that's what all the good thoughts were about, huh? You know, I should have known.
Sam: Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no -
Monica: No!
Joe: You know, we all know how your mother feels about you. But let's see how you feel about your mother, because if I go, it's a sure bet she goes, too.
Kate: I can't blame you -
Sonny: Mm-hmm.
Kate: For the uncertainty that comes with your world any more than I would want you to blame me for the foreign, eccentric trappings that come with mine. But -
Sonny: But -- they don't fit. And we -- we keep having to fight one or the other to try to be together to see how -- how it all fits.
Kate: I don't know what to do.
Sonny: I do. I told you I had -- I had plans for tonight, right? But our two worlds keep colliding. I got a third one I want to take you to.
Patrick: Hey, the E.R.'s on lockdown. You know what's going on?
Robin: Just that they're not letting anyone into the hospital and they're not evacuating anyone, either. It's probably just a false alarm.
Patrick: Yeah, maybe. Look I don't want to sound overprotective or out of line, but have you got checked out since your fall?
Robin: No. I'm too busy going over Dr. Lippmann's notes for Nikolas. So he has an inoperable tumor and I really don't think they're going to find anything else.
Patrick: Yeah, I'm convinced there's something else there, something's hiding on us. Nadine's taking blood right now and I'm going to try and get another sample under altered circumstances.
Robin: What does that mean?
Patrick: I'm going to try and take blood while Nikolas is having one of his angry episodes
Robin: And how are you going to do that? I mean, they're too random to predict.
Patrick: I'm going to try and bring one on.
Nadine: Dr. Drake wanted me to draw some blood.
Nikolas: Oh.
Nadine: So I guess princes don't have time for things like hockey games?
Nikolas: No, not -- not Cassadine princes. We're too occupied with brooding, living in big houses on foggy islands, or we're too busy making asses of ourselves in public.
Nadine: Hmm. Well, it sounds, uh -
Nikolas: What?
Nadine: Lonely? No wonder you talk to yourself.
Nikolas: Excuse me?
Nadine: Uh -- I'm sorry. I didn't mean anything by it. I was just wondering -- are you talking to yourself, or are you talking to Emily?
Joe: Anybody who's not being useful, sit down!
Lucky: I want you to double back and make sure that nobody comes down here.
Joe: The threat's still here, and I'm not going away. Nobody moves, I mean it.
Lucky: I think I can take him out.
Scott: Shoot to kill. And if you don't, maybe Morgan being there will count for something and he can take him down the rest of the way. We all know how he's waiting for the chance to play the hero.
Jason: His finger's on the detonator, the bomb is engaged. If he lets go for any reason, it'll explode, and we're all close enough to go with him.
Robin: You want to provoke an emotionally unstable person. Emily: Maybe I should go away. Joe: Why do you people keep trying to pull things, huh? Lucky: Jason just got in the way. Scott: Accidents happen. Take the shot, Spencer.
Jan 16, 2008 08:18
Kate: Oh!
Sonny: Shh.
[Kate giggles]
Kate: Ok. Can I -- can I look now?
Sonny: Not right now. I just got a few seconds.
Kate: Stop it. You're so mysterious. You won't let me look, and you're talking about other worlds, you took me in a limo. Just let me look already.
Sonny: Do you want me to?
Sonny: Ok. Here we go.
[Mandolin plays]
Kate: No way. Waiter: Welcome to Fortunato's. I'll be right with you, ok?
Sonny: Welcome back to Bensonhurst.
Spinelli: Mr. Corinthos, sir will surely rearrange The Jackal's limbs for allowing two of the likes of you into his inner sanctum. However, Stone Cold may take pity on The Jackal for stealing his extra keys because we are looking for Lulu, but I -- although I may be speaking out of turn, I think we must alert Stone Cold, because after all, he is the -
Logan: Spinelli, are you finished? So Lulu's being held by Friar Tuck and his band of not-so-merry men? Huh?
Spinelli: Actually, Robin Hood was the leader of that pack of ne'er-do-wells. Friar Tuck was his advisor, accomplice, but -- and sanctified advisor, and sometimes provided much-needed comic relief, but -
Johnny: Can we take a recess from the English Lit lesson and focus on getting Lulu back?
Logan: Look, here's the thing, guys. We got nothing to go on here, except for Spinelli's very interesting theory that Lulu's being held in Sherwood Forest, because mobster boy decided not to play nice with some mob guys who wanted to put a hit on Sonny.
Patrick: I've gone over the notes a dozen times, looked at the x-rays. We've seen what we can of the tumor. We don't know what part it's pressing on in his brain, and we don't know if Nikolas has been compromised because of the drugs Jerry gave him.
Robin: Well, maybe it's a combination of both.
Patrick: And maybe the answer's in the blood.
Robin: Where are you going with this?
Patrick: We need to find out what hormones are being released into Nikolas' system when he's in his angry episodes, and the only way we can do that is take a blood sample when he's in full fury.
Robin: Nikolas is a tinderbox.
Patrick: Yeah, and he's getting worse, Robin, which means -
Robin: No.
Patrick: That it shouldn't be hard -- what do mean, no? You're not going to help me?
Robin: No, we're not doing this at all.
Nikolas: What makes you say I'm talking to Emily?
Nadine: I'm sorry. Things tend to sound better in my head than they do when they're coming out of my mouth. It's not what I heard you say. I didn't even really get the words. It's more your tone, and the look on your face. It's just peaceful.
Nikolas: I see.
Nadine: I watched you at the ball. I had never seen a real prince before, and you were exactly the way I thought one would be. And the way you were with Emily, it was just different than with anybody else. You were like that when I walked in and heard you talking the other day and at the nurse's station before. You don't have to say yes or no. I just wondered. It's hard to say goodbye. And maybe you're not ready. So if you want to keep on talking to her, I think you should do it. It brings out the best in you.
Nikolas: So what brings out the worst?
Nadine: That is what we're here to find out. When you're talking to Emily, even though she's not here, it's just a natural phase of grief. I'll go see what's keeping Dr. Drake.
Emily: Is that all that I am? A natural phase?
Nikolas: Well, if you are, I hope I never get past it.
Joe: Why do you people keep trying to pull things, huh? What's the matter?
Monica: What are you doing?
Joe: Did I grab the wrong one? You two seem pretty tight.
Sam: No, no, no, no. Oh, no! No. Jason -
Joe: How about she's the one that goes up with me, hmm? Since you two are so chummy. And it'd keep you from getting out of line.
Scott: Spencer, I gave you the green light. What are you doing?
Lucky: I don't have a clear shot. Jason just got in the way.
Scott: Well, sounds to me like two for the money.
Scott: Listen, what was the last good thing Morgan's done for you, or anybody for that matter? Accidents happen.
Lucky: I can't shoot an innocent man.
[Scott sighs]
Scott: Lucky, you got Morgan and a suicide bomber. Nobody's innocent.
Sam: Joe, you're out of luck. Jason wouldn't care if I died on the spot.
Jason: No one has to get hurt here.
Joe: Maybe I should go behind that curtain, drag out your lady friend, the one who pulled a baby out of the fire? What's her name? Elizabeth?
Jason: They're giving you what you want. Your wife's getting treatment.
Joe: You better hope so.
Jason: Ok, you know what? You don't have to threaten anybody anymore. Everybody, just let the doctors and nurses do their jobs so we can get out of here.
Joe: Now you're being smart.
Jason: And nobody do anything stupid, because we know if he takes his finger off this detonator, we're all dead!
Patrick: What, you don't think it's going to work?
Robin: It's unethical and it's cruel.
Patrick: But necessary. Robin, if a patient comes in with pain in their arm, you move it and ask him when and where it hurts to determine cause and treatment.
Robin: This is completely different. You're saying that you want to provoke an emotionally unstable person.
Patrick: Robin, Nikolas has some sort of medical demon in him. Now, we need to flush it out and shine a light on it.
Robin: Ok, let's just suppose I go along with your little experiment. We agitate Nikolas to the point to where he has one of his rage episodes.
Patrick: Ok.
Robin: He's uncontrollable and he's violent. How do you keep him from being a danger to himself or to other patients in this hospital?
Patrick: We keep a controlled environment.
Robin: If you can control it. First of all, you don't even know what to say to provoke one of these episodes. And then once it's happening to stop it, if that's even possible.
Patrick: Robin, you deal with experimental protocol all the time. I don't see what the difference is here.
Robin: My protocol is medical, not emotional.
Patrick: Oh, I get it. So we're back to Dr. Drake, the unfeeling physician?
Robin: Listen, Nikolas is one of my closest and dearest friends. Excuse me if I can't separate the patient from the person like you can.
Patrick: When I see one of your oldest, dearest friends, I see a man in turmoil, and I'm going to do everything in my insensitive, unfeeling power to save his life. Robin, hey -
Nikolas: Well, I know you're not a ghost, because -- because I don't believe in them.
Emily: Well, what do you believe in?
Nikolas: I believe in love. I believe in -- I believe in our love and how strong it was -
Emily: When I was alive.
Nikolas: Yeah. Well, maybe that's it. Maybe now that you're here, that just proves how strong it really was.
Emily: Maybe it was too strong.
Nikolas: What do you mean?
Emily: I love you. I love that I'm with you. But I don't know -- maybe it's not right. Maybe it's not natural. Maybe I should go away.
Kate: Oh, I can't believe this place is still here. I can't believe that we're here. This was our place.
Sonny: Yeah, yeah. Our first night on the town.
Kate: Oh, man, I was so impressed. I remember I was sitting on the fire hydrant.
Kate: The corner of 86th -
Sonny: And 21st Avenue -- um -- in front of Gus' soda shop.
Kate: What? I liked egg creams.
Sonny: Well, I mean, you probably still do.
Kate: No -
Sonny: Don't give me that.
Kate: Then you come -- you come walking down the street, strutting and -
Sonny: First of all, I don't strut.
Kate: Oh?
Sonny: "Oh"?
Kate: Ok. Like you owned it.
Sonny: Really?
Kate: Yeah. Yeah, really. I thought you didn't even notice me.
Sonny: Hmm.
Kate: Then you stopped. You stopped.
Sonny: Mm-hmm?
Kate: And you turned. You looked straight at me. You came over, you flashed those dimples, and you said "7:00. Wear something nice." God, I ran all the way home, I was so excited, and then I burst into tears.
Sonny: I -- I didn't know you did that, you didn't tell me.
Kate: Of course you didn't know that. I looked in my closet. I didn't have anything nice to wear.
Sonny: You know what? Whatever you wore took my breath away. What?
Kate: It was my cousin Gloria's. Her closet was an army of shoulder pads. I took what I thought I could rescue, I deconstructed it, I pulled something together, and whatever it was is what you ended up seeing.
Sonny: The first shades of Kate Howard, editor and chief of "Couture" magazine.
Kate: Yes, right. News flash all over Manhattan, as we speak. Mary Minucci did my hair. The entire time, Moose and Eddie making animal noises with their armpits, saying how girls went bald if they lied about losing their virginity.
Sonny: It's amazing you went through all that for me.
Kate: Well, I wanted to make an impression. I wanted to be the kind of girl you could take places.
Sonny: And now, you end up with the kind of guy you can't take anywhere.
Johnny: Play that message again.
Lulu's voice: It's Lulu. Somebody grabbed me. I don't know who. Please tell Jason. Just hurry. With all the speed dialing, I don't know anybody else's phone number but yours, and I have no idea where I am. I'm -- I'm looking at a painting of -- of a guy in a robe with a spade and a watering can, and I don't know what's going on here -- help!
Logan: You know, Johnny, it just occurred to me that you could already know where Lulu is.
Logan: You know, the Zaccharas like smoke and mirrors. Maybe you're setting up some deal so you can try to blame it on somebody else.
Johnny: And I kidnapped Lulu to make it all look good? You're an ass.
Logan: I told you to stay away from her.
Johnny: She never would have come near me if you wouldn't have broken her heart and sent her into an emotional freefall.
Logan: You drew her in, Johnny.
Johnny: And I tried to push her away for her own protection, which is a hell of a lot more than you did.
Spinelli: Ok, gentlemen -- and I use that term loosely -- perhaps we can put the debate as to who is more warped or unworthy on hold till we actually secure Lulu's release. Hmm?
Johnny: You're right.
Logan: Yeah, ok.
Spinelli: Goody, ok. Plus, I found something. St. Fiacrius.
Logan: I'm sorry, Spinelli, I missed that day in Sunday School. What do you -
Spinelli: All monastic orders are founded around saints, and all saints have individual representations. St. Fiacrius was a hallowed hermit who tended a garden of healing herbs, often signified by a robed man carrying a spade and a watering can.
Logan: So we got a name on a painting that Lulu saw.
Johnny: Now, all we need is a place.
Logan: Right. Keep working, Spinelli. Come on.
Johnny: What do you want?
Trevor: Where are you?
Johnny: Busy.
Trevor: Isn't everybody? John, I just want to tell you that Jason Morgan paid your father a visit.
Johnny: Is he -
Trevor: No, he's alive. But his health is deteriorating. So I'm going to increase the security detail. Why don't you come down here to the docks and meet me and we'll talk.
Johnny: I can't.
Trevor: Hold on. Do you understand how important this deal is that's going to go down on our ship tonight?
Johnny: More than you know.
Trevor: Sonny is out of town, and Jason is M.I.A. Let's cement our alliance with Moreau. Don't start thinking you're going to go double-crossing him.
Johnny: Maybe you think I'm double-crossing you.
Trevor: I got options besides you.
Johnny: Thanks for reminding me.
Trevor: That's what consiglieris are for. I might be your best friend, so don't forget that.
Johnny: Like I said before, can't.
Trevor: Do I really have to send somebody to find you?
Johnny: Go ahead. They won't be able to.
Logan: What's the matter, Johnny? Trouble in gangster paradise?
Johnny: We got to get this going.
Patrick: Just sit down.
Robin: I don't know what happened. I just got dizzy all of the sudden.
Patrick: Yeah, because of the last time Nikolas had one of his rages, he tossed you and you hit your head on the table and you didn't get checked out.
Robin: Look, I'm fine. Nikolas is the one that isn't. Listen, I will think about going along with this if Nikolas gives us the ok.
Patrick: No. We can't do it that way.
Robin: Why?
Patrick: Because we don't know what's going on in Nikolas' head. He could have some sort of protective mechanism put up, and it's not going to work. We have to surprise him.
Nikolas: Please tell me you don't mean that.
Emily: Nikolas, I don't think I'm good for you.
Nikolas: You're the only one that's keeping me sane right now.
Emily: I'm the only thing that's keeping you from moving on. I mean, how long can this last?
Nikolas: As long as we want it to.
Emily: I don't think I have any control over that.
Nikolas: No, listen -- listen to me. You can't go until I let you go. I love you.
Emily: I'm not real. N
ikolas: But you're the next best thing to al. And more than that, you're all I have right now.
Lucky: We have to abort.
Scott: What? No, Spencer!
Lucky: The situation's changed. We need to find another way in.
Scott: Take the shot, Spencer. Or I'm telling you, you're going to be walking the beat in a meter maid outfit.
Lucky: We need to find another way in.
Joe: You two, sit down.
Jason: We have to wait this out.
Leo: You smashed the window of a burning house and went in and got your child. That's pretty damn heroic in my book.
Elizabeth: But I took him from one dangerous situation into another.
Leo: All right, look, you're going to feel a little bit of pain, ok? All right, you ready?
[Elizabeth gasps]
Cassius: Our man Jake here seems to be just fine.
Epiphany: Ok, he may look like that, but he's not. I need you to give him two breaths when I tell you to.
Sonny: You know what?
Kate: Hmm?
Sonny: You actually made an impression on me that night.
Kate: I did?
Sonny: Yes, you did.
Kate: Tell me.
Sonny: Oh, I'm not going to tell you because you're going to get mad.
Kate: Well, I don't get mad, I get even.
Sonny: Oh.
Kate: Oh, ho, ho, ho.
Kate: And here I thought you could take Bensonhurst out of the girl.
Sonny: Maybe she never left.
Kate: So, tell me about this impression I made.
Sonny: Well, you know, I don't really remember what the hell you were wearing because I couldn't get past your eyes.
Kate: Well, don't you tell Gloria that. All right, well, you made an impression, too.
Sonny: Yeah? Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me.
Kate: Ugh! Smile -
Sonny: Right.
Kate: That would make angels blush.
Kate: And dimples that would send you straight to the devil. That's what all the girls at Sacred Hearts Academy said about you.
Sonny: Come on, they didn't say that.
Kate: Oh, no, it's written in stone. Second floor, girls' bathroom.
Sonny: But I never saw you blush. You hit everything head on, you still do.
Kate: I'm blushing now. Ahem -- Gloria said it would never happen.
Kate: A fancy date. Oh, yeah, she said it was all just talk to get me in bed.
Sonny: Well, and I guess you showed up, anyway.
Kate: Well, maybe I didn't care.
Kate: Well, I'm glad we ended up here because I made Gloria eat her words the next day. I still don't know how you got us in. I mean, they served alcohol. We weren't exactly 21.
Sonny: I -- I knew the right people.
Spinelli: Ok, according to the legend, Fiacrius dwelled in a cave by the spring. He -- he was bestowed land for his healing garden by the resident bishop, who said he could only have as much earth as he could plow by sunset.
Johnny: Is this going anywhere?
Spinelli: Ok -- so Fiacrius walked slowly around the bounds of the land he coveted dragging his spade behind him, and everywhere his spade touched, rocks moved and trees uprooted and that's where he planted his garden.
Johnny: And what does this have to do with Lulu?
Logan: Guys, we're not getting anywhere here.
Spinelli: Ok, I'm not surprised that you two don't have the patience of a saint. Ok, wait for it. "The Brothers of Fiacrius, an order of monks who inhabited a monastery founded in 1700 on the river bluffs --"
Logan: "Right outside Port Charles."
Nikolas: I want us to go home. I have a surprise for you.
Emily: Is it possible to surprise me?
Nikolas: Well, you'll just have to wait and find out. You know what today is, don't you?
Nikolas: Can I go now?
Patrick: Must be a tough day for you today, huh? I mean, being Emily's birthday and all.
Epiphany: One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 -- now!
[Cassius pumps air]
Epiphany: One, two, three, four, five -
Kelly: How's the baby been moving?
Angie: He was moving a lot a few days ago, but not so much anymore. Is that bad?
Kelly: We're going to continue to observe the baby's heart rate pattern.
Angie: Why? Does that mean there's something wrong with our son?
Joe: What is taking so long?
Monica: The doctors have to be very thorough.
Jason: This is a good place with good people.
Joe: How do I know what they're doing to my wife and kid in there?
Jason: Let -- let me go check.
Joe: No, you stay where I can see you. I'll get somebody else -- Sam.
Sam: Ok. All right, I'll -- I'll see how everyone's doing.
Joe: Yeah, Angie first.
Sam: Ok.
Joe: What -- what's that? Something's happening.
Monica: Somebody is in trouble.
