Jason: In the end, this isn't even about business. It's all about michael.
Elizabeth: About the guilt sonny carries?
Jason: I've tried every way i know how to make sonny understand. I don't blame him for michael any more than i blame myself.
Elizabeth: Everybody handles grief differently. Some need a target, and for whatever reason, sonny has chosen to blame you -- to find a reason to resent you.
Jason: I keep telling him to take the business back if he wants it. I don't want it.
Elizabeth: Jason, you're looking for logic when there is none. Sonny's grieving.
Jason: Ok, well, i mean, what do you think i should do?
Elizabeth: I think you need to make things right with sonny. So you know you did all you could.
Mike: Ok, it sounds to me like a rationalization for you, getting back in the business. Ok -- you wanted honest.
Sonny: I want honest.
Mike: Ok.
Sonny: I made a deal with jason to make my family safe. That's why i got out of the organization -- to stop the violence from coming down on them.
Mike: Good reason.
Sonny: But i'm starting to feel like they're in danger because i don't have the power that i used to have. And maybe i made a mistake. I don't know. Who knows, at this point?
Mike: Sonny, you have to follow your own instincts.
Sonny: Yes.
Mike: Your own conscience. And from where i stand, getting out of the organization was the best decision you ever made. Now, you knew that a major power shift was not going to happen overnight without any bumps. And you're in a period of transition, with a lot of uncertainty. And anthony zacchara is taking advantage of that. It is up to jason to deal withit.
Sonny: But he's not dealing with it the way he should, mike.
Mike: All right. I know that you're angry with jason about michael and morgan, about the part that he played in getting you to sign away your sons.
Sonny: It hurts, mike. I don't want to talk about it.
Mike: Ok. Ok, then let's talk about the business end of this thing, ok? About job performance. Do you really believe, sonny, that jason would stand by and do nothing if anthony zacchara moved against you or anyone you cared about?
Sam: We are on a standard commercial route approaching toward the northeast. About a mile out, i was going to cut back, head toward pier 52, and then kill the engines, and we'll just drift.
Karpov: Drift?
Sam: Yeah, drift, until the harbor patrol passes.
Karpov: If you're drifting, they may think you're in distress. It will give them an excuse to board.
Sam: No, the harbor patrol is not my only concern. It's not even my biggest concern. They're going to give us a ton of warnings before they board. They're going to blow the bullhorn or fire shots over our head. Now, jason morgan's people, on the other hand -- if we are going through his territory, they will shoot first and then ask questions.So unless you have a deal with him or anyone else, i just --
karpov: Asking questions is unwise.
Sam: I am making decisions based on the information that i know. So if you need to add anything to that --
karpov: My business is none of your concern.
Sam: My concern is landing the shipment safely, and making sure i live another day to land another one.
Karpov: You won't have to worry about the second, if you don't do the first. Land the shipment safely, or it will go badly for everyone.
Sam: Yes, sir.
Lucky: Epiphany, how soon beforei can question mr. Meyers?
Harper: The assault victim? I need to talk to him, too.
Epiphany: Well, you're both in for a wait. He needed surgery, and everything is backed up because we're short-staffed.
Harper: You better get all hands on deck. Chances are the e.R. Is going to take a hit tonight.
Lucky: What are you talking about?
Harper: The dea is doing a raidon pier 52. They got a tip that a shipment of drugs is being brought in by boat. [Knock on door]
Sonny: Come in. You saved me a phone call. We've got to talk.
Jason: Yeah, we do.
Sonny: You want a drink?
Jason: No.
Sonny: So it's just business?
Jason: Look, i'm here because i want to make sure that we don't have any more misunderstandings.
Sonny: About what?
Jason: About the choices i've made, the choices you've made, and the reasons behind them.
Sonny: You mean my motives.
Jason: Look, we don't have to agree, sonny, but i've got a bad feeling where this could go if we don't give each other the benefit of the doubt, considering what we've been through.
Sonny: I'm here. Hey, you want to talk to me, talk to me. Whatever you've got to say, i'll listen.
Jason: If you think anything i've done since the night michael was shot has been about making you pay or punishing you, it hasn't. I mean, that's the last thing i would want to do.
Minister's voice: Do you, jasper jacks, take this woman to be your wedded wife?
Jax: I do.
Singer: Patience all we got is time
carly: You have to go.
Jax: All right. Maybe i'll call you later.
Carly: Maybe i'll answer.
Jax: Great.
Carly: Great.
Jax: See you later.
Carly: Bye.
Singer: We tend to find together all our own lessons i'm convinced that it's right that we spend so much life making love life makes us love
jax: I still love you.
Carly: I love you.
Singer: That we spend so much life making love life makes us love oh, gracious i find that times like these call for reflection take it
jax: I love you. Will you marry me?
Singer: I'm convinced that it's right that we spend so much life making love and life makes us love
jax: I'm here for the duration, ok? I'm committed to you and the boys. And i've never meant anything more.
Singer: That we spend so much life making love and life makes us loveif we could only live in this simple moment we'd be perfect it would be perfect if we could only let it the simple moments are fastest i'm convinced that it's right that we spend so much life making love
jax: Let's make tonight about beginning, ok? No looking back. The best is yet to come.
Carly: I can't wait.
Singer: I'm convinced that it's right we spend so much love
Nikolas: My only interest here is protecting lulu. And since she and your son are virtually inseparable, I've made arrangements for john's escape as well.
Anthony: You've made arrangements?
Nikolas: Yes, new identities for the both of them, as well as transportation out of the country.
Anthony: My son's not going anywhere except home.
Nikolas: [Laughs] mr. Zacchara, he held a hostage at gunpoint and fled police custody.
Anthony: Who's idea was that?
Nikolas: On top of the murder charge he's facing?
Anthony: Those things can be handled.
Nikolas: Well, then, i think you're delusional, because if john turns himself in or gets himself arrested, he goes to prison for the rest of his life. The arrangements that i've made are his only viable options here.
Anthony: You think i'm going to accept your help?
Nikolas: It's too late. It's already in motion.
Anthony: It's because of that little bitch you call a sister that johnny is in this mess. She jerked him and logan around, got them going at each other. If johnny hadn't killed logan, it would have been the other way around.
Nikolas: If you want to blame your son for becoming a murderer, you might want to look in the mirror. I'm getting him out of this country so they can have a life.
Anthony: My son stays with me. You and your sister interfere, i'll have your throats cut.
Claudia: Come on. This is productive, guys.
Nikolas: I'm not scared of you. I've been dealing with murdering sociopaths my entire life. I won't allow you to interfere with my plans. You understand?
[Cell phone rings]
nikolas: Yes. All right, i'm on my way.
Anthony: What was that about?
Nikolas: It doesn't concern you.
Lulu: This place is not going to make me better. It's only going to make me worse.
Johnny: Dr. Foster seems ok.
Lulu: Dr. Foster is like every doctor that my mom ever saw. He's -- he's phony and calm and too understanding. I don't like the way that he talks to me.
Johnny: Ok, lulu, it's just being here, the idea -- it has you rattled. But once you settle in, and you start getting the help that you need --
Lulu: This place isn't going to help me.
Johnny: You need to try.
Lulu: I can't do this.
Johnny: Lulu, just give it a chance.
Lulu: If you leave me here, i will be sitting in a chair staring at a wall within a week, ok? Let's just go. We can leave, and then everything's going to be fine.
Johnny: Lulu, do you believe that i love you?
Lulu: I know that you love me.
Johnny: Ok. Then know when i say that this is the best thing for you, it is. I know this place is scary, but you have to get better if we're going to be together.
Lulu: We're not going to be together if you leave me here. I will be a statue. And even if i can think and feel and love, no matter how loud i scream it, you're not going to be able to hear me.
Nikolas: Look, i don't have time for this. I have to go.
Claudia: If you're going afterlulu and john, i'm going with you.
Sonny: You say you don't want to punish me. I want to believe that, but why else would you help carly take my sons?
Jason: My reasons haven't changed. Carly was going to take morgan away.
Sonny: But do you understand, you gave her the power to take my sons away.
Jason: I get that you don't like how the whole thing went down. I understand that, but that doesn't make me your enemy.
Sonny: I'm not saying you are. And i'm not working with karpov to get back at you. I agreed to consult to keep him out of your way.
Jason: Ok, then why not just tell me that?
Sonny: Because you should know better, you know -- you know me well enough to know what i'm doing. When i was dealing with the guy, you should know why. Hey, you're running the organization. I don't want to interfere in that. I don't --
kate: Hi, jason. Here again? Something tells me you're not planning a fishing trip.
Jason: Just need to work some things out.
Kate: Work out some things. Like mob business? If you're taking over again,sonny, you need to tell me.
Karpov: You need help?
Carly: Uh -- no. No, thanks, i'm fine.
Karpov: No, you're limping. How did that happen?
Carly: I turned my ankle.
Karpov: Hmm. But here you are, dressed for some kind of outing, huh?
Carly: I'm meeting my husband for a midnight sail.
Karpov: Your husband doesn't appear to be here. But i am, and i'm an excellent sailor. Maybe we should go out on the water instead, hmm?
Male voice: Freeze right where you are.
[Gunshots]
[sam screams]
lucky: Sam! Sam!
Nikolas: It was an administrator at shadybrook, someone on the board at the hospital.
Lulu came in tonight and had herself admitted.
Claudia: Well, it's got to be my brother. It's got to be johnny that's with her, right? I mean, has anybody there said whether or not they called the police yet?
Nikolas: My sources couldn't say, but they've been all over the news lately, so it's possible. We need to get there before the police do, and get them out.
Johnny: Come on, this place is not a prison. These people want to help you, and you only have to stay as long as it takes for you to get well.
Lulu: What about you?
Johnny: I'm going to go to vancouver and hide out like we discussed, like i promised. Hey, i'll be in touch through spinelli, ok? The assassin of the internet will help me hide out, ok? He'll help me be in touch. And once you're better, he's going to help us meet.
Lulu: Do you think this is really going to work?
Johnny: I know it is. We have all the resources we need here. Now, you just need to let the doctors help you, lulu. Please, let them help you. I can't stand the fact that this is happening because of a choice that i made.
Lulu: No, we were both idiots, blaming ourselves.
Johnny: Ok, so let's stop blaming and work together. Let's stick to our original plan, and everything's going to be ok. Promise me.
Lulu: I promise.
Johnny: I've got to go now.
Lulu: [Sobs]
johnny: But know that i'm here with you, ok?
Lulu: Yeah, ok. Ok. Ok.
Scott: There he is. Arrest him.
Lulu: What? No! No, wait! What? Johnny!
Johnny, no! Get off me.
Lulu: [Screams] no, let him go! Johnny!

P4P
Monday August 18 - Part 1
[Shouting] Agent: Freeze, DEA. Lucky: Whoa, PCPD. She's one of ours. Kate: If you're going back to the mob, you have to tell me, all right? Sonny: I am - Kate: It's going to change everything, including the wedding. Sonny: I'm not in the mob. I'm out of that life forever. You know that. Carly: You're not following me, are you? Karpov: This is merely a happy coincidence and I suggest we make the most of it. Carly: I told you. I'm meeting my husband. Karpov: It seems you've been stood up. My boat is moored just over there and I'd hate to see that picnic go to waste. Carly: Maybe some other time. Karpov: You were so eager to get together before, hmm? Inviting me for a drink, letting me drive you to my warehouse, and now, suddenly, you're giving me the cold shoulder. Why the change? Carly: It's all about timing, and right now, at the moment, it's not a good time for me. Karpov: I'd hate to think you were playing me. Lulu: [Crying] Johnny! Johnny: Let go of her. Let go of her! Scott: Shut up, you. Johnny: I just want to help her. I just want to help her. Lulu: Johnny -- stop! Lulu: Help me. Scott: Get this guy under control. Johnny: Just let me go to her. Scott: The only place you're going is the lockup. Lulu: Let him go! No! [Johnny grunts] Lulu: No! [Johnny grunts] Lulu: No! Stop! Claudia: What are you doing? Get off of him. Lulu: No! Get this off me! Nikolas: Get her out of this thing. Lulu: Stop it. No, what is it? Dr. Foster: Hold her steady. Lulu: No! Ah! Ow! Carly: The last time we were together, I was very intrigued by you. It's not every day a man like you offers to fill a warehouse full of expensive toys just to spend some time alone with me. Karpov: Well, that was before Jason Morgan appeared with a gun. Carly: Yeah, Jason can be overprotective. Karpov: Jason isn't here now. Carly: But my husband will be, soon. Karpov: Come with me. Just say that you decided not to wait. Carly: That's tempting, but my husband's been out of town and he's eager to spend some time with me. I don't want to make him suspicious. Any fun I have on the side will have to be discreet. Karpov: You have no problem being unfaithful to your husband. Carly: Let's see what happens. If something does, what my husband doesn't know won't hurt him, assuming you can handle Jason because he won't want me spending time with you. Karpov: You're a fascinating woman, beautiful and complicated. Expect a call soon. Agent: You both are clear. Lucky: He's DEA d. Agent: Let's go see who came off the boat. Get your partner some help. Lucky: I am. Sam: Ok, thank you. Lucky: No, you thank me when I get you to the hospital. Sam: Wait, Lucky. Lucky, what if the DEA finds nothing? What if the drugs are well hidden and Karpov just did a test run? I don't want to blow my cover. Lucky: Sam, you've been shot. Sam: It's ok. It's ok. It's just a graze. Lucky: No, you don't know that. Come on. Sam: Oh, no, please. Just -- I want to go back to my apartment, ok? I don't -- just -- I don't want Karpov's men to see us together. Please. Please. Lucky: Ok. Sam: Ow. Elizabeth: Thank you. Can I help you? Anthony: I'm due in physical therapy, but the therapist is late. Elizabeth: I can check on that. Anthony: No rush. I like taking in the hospital scenery as well as the next guy. Elizabeth: I'm a nurse, not scenery. Anthony: I'm sure you're many things to many people. For instance, you're the ex-wife of my smart but treacherous legal counsel Ric Lansing, and the ex-lover of Jason Morgan, my biggest business rival. Elizabeth: What's the name of your physical therapist? Anthony: Lasker. I haven't rattled you, have I? Elizabeth: No, not at all. Anthony: Well, good, because I'd like to think of us as friends. You might be useful some day in helping me communicate with Jason. Kate: So, Jason, there's your answer. Sonny has no intention of going back to the organization. Now, if that is not why you're here, I apologize for jumping to conclusions. But Sonny and I are getting married soon, and it's my future, too. And I have do everything I can to protect it. Jason: Kate, I respect that. Kate: Thank you. Jason: Ok, I've said what I had to say. I won't come by again. Kate: I was right, wasn't I? Jason wants you back in the organization. Sonny: Come here. We're just trying to working things out with the friendship, but, you know, it may be -- may be too late. Kate: I'm sorry. Sonny: Well, you didn't seem sorry when -- when you walked in here. Kate: Well, ok. Sonny: What? Kate: It might be selfish, but I -- I do think the association isn't good for you. Sonny: Well, yeah. I mean, there is a change in Jason, but, you know, he learned a lot from me. And we have a lot in common, like, you know, know -- knowing how to tear people out of our lives when we need to. Kate: And you think you need to do that now? Sonny: Kate... you heard him. He's not coming back. Elizabeth: Jason and I are no longer involved. I don't speak to him and cannot be used as a messenger of any kind. Anthony: Oh, maybe it's time for a lovers' reunion. Elizabeth: You should also know that I am very close with my other ex-husband. He's a detective at the PCPD and I have no problem at all calling him and letting him know that you're making me uncomfortable. Anthony: Now you're making me feel bad. Here I thought I was having a nice conversation with the lovely nurse Webber and you're taking offense? Elizabeth: And I'm sure your smart but treacherous lawyer might also object. If Ric finds out that you're subtly threatening me, you'll lose him in two seconds flat. [Anthony chuckles] Anthony: You've got a mouth on you, nursey. Maybe that's why you got nothing but memories of ex-husbands and boyfriends. Shame. No one to keep you and your two little boys company when it gets dark at night. Elizabeth: Dr. Lasker is in. I'll go find him. Trevor: One of our guys down at the PCPD just called. They finally located John and recaptured him. Dr. Foster: Page Lainey Winters. Her family wants her to take over the case. And make sure dr. Winters sees me before she meets with the patient. Nikolas: I will not have my sister treated this way. It's unacceptable. Dr. Foster: I'm sorry you had to witness it, Mr. Cassadine, but she was in danger of hurting herself. She had to be restrained and sedated for her own good. Nikolas: I'll decide what's good for her. Now leave us alone. Dr. Foster: Certainly. [Door closes] Nikolas: Come here, sweetie. Can you sit up for me? Let's get this damn thing off of you, all right? Don't you worry. Everything's going to be all right. Lulu: Nothing's going to be all right. Nikolas: You're safe now. There's a lot of people here who love you - Lulu: Johnny loved me and he got caught because of me. Nikolas: No, you couldn't have stayed on the run forever, ok? Lulu: No, we would've gotten away. And then I started cracking up and he brought me here. He wanted to help me. And now they're taking him to prison and it's all my fault. Sam: Oh! Lucky: That wound is serious. I'm taking you straight to the hospital. The hell with your cover. Sam: It's just a flesh wound. Lucky: Well, that's a lot of blood for a flesh wound. Sam: Yep, see? Just like I told you. Lucky: Listen, first aid kit? Sam: I'll be fine. It's in the closet. You need to call the DEA and see if they found any drugs. Lucky: Listen, I need to take care of you first. Sam: Oh. Lucky: Hydrogen peroxide, it's all we have. It's probably not enough. Sam: I'm going to be ok. I'm told you, I'm going to be fine. Lucky: Sam, this whole undercover thing is way too dangerous. Sam: Lucky, would you look at me, please? I have been through a lot, ok? I almost chopped my ankle off on a fishing line and I -- I -- I pretty much almost drowned off the coast of Cuba. And I've been shot before, yeah, more than once, by the way. Lucky: That isn't reassuring me. Sam: Well, maybe this will. Nothing compares to the pain of loss and I have lost plenty. Ooh -- I am not going to be killed just when I found the guy I want to be with. Carly: Room service. Jax: I didn't order anything. I distinctly remember putting a sign on the door. Carly: I bet you've been working so hard all night you haven't eaten one thing. Jax: Well, I was just about to call down and get something to - Carly: You don't have to. You don't have to because I have packed... a few of your favorite things. Don't even guess, because it's one big surprise. Jax: I thought we agreed to take things slow. Carly: This is slow for me. Jax: This is slow for you. Of course it's slow for you. Carly: I thought about asking you to join me on the silent lady for a midnight sail, but I thought you'd say no. Jax: You, afraid of a challenge? Carly: Well, you've been saying no a lot lately. And you know how I get. I get frustrated and I act out and I do something stupid, so - Jax: You up to something? Carly: No. Carly: I came straight here from the pier because I'm staying focused on one thing and one thing only -- us getting back together. Sonny: I don know. Maybe it was inevitable. I don't know if -- if I told you, but there was a time when Jason -- he didn't know which way to go. So I took him in. He worked for me. But he was mentally like a -- like a child. So I -- I pretty much had to -- had to raise him. I taught him everything he knows. He did -- he did everything fantastic. He was completely honest. But now I look at him. There is so much rage. Kate: He's acting like a rebellious teenager. Sonny: Yes, and you know what? I can DEA l with most of it. But Jason helping Carly take my sons, that's a tough one. Kate: I know. It always comes back to Michael and Morgan. Sonny: You got to understand something, Kate. You know how much I miss my kids. You know how much I love my kids. Kate: You are a good father. Jason knows that. He knows how much those children mean to you. Siding with Carly was reprehensible. Sonny: She has a way to work him. You see it. I don't know what it is. It's like -- I -- I don't understand it. Kate: All right, all right, all right, look. I am obviously biased towards you. But what Jason did was far more destructive than just siding with Carly. And I know it must be painful, but it just seems like you can't trust Jason anymore. And for that, I am truly sorry. I know how much he's meant to you and I know how hard it must be to see that happen. Sonny: It's a loss. Kate: I know. And I just wish there was something that I could do. Sonny: Just keep -- keep me sane, reminding me what's important. [Doorbell rings] Sonny: And I'll thank God you're in my life every day. Sasha: Hi. Max: Hi. Mr. C is busy right now. Sasha: I won't take long. Max: Right, but he -- he really doesn't want to be disturbed right now, so - Sasha: Oh. Oh, I guess I should be a good girl and leave then. Max: Right. Sasha: I'll do nothing of the kind. Max: Hey! Sasha: Mr. Corinthos, I'm sorry for the intrusion, but I have to see you alone. Lucky: You're bleeding. It's not stopping. You need stitches. Sam: I'm not going to the hospital, Lucky. Lucky: Sam -- Sam, if you lose too much blood and that wound gets infected - Sam: It won't. Lucky: You don't know that. Sam: No, no, no. Lucky: I'm going to do what I can - Sam: We are not going to the hospital. If we go to the hospital, they're going to have report a gunshot wound. And then what's going to happen? Everything is going to snowball. Karpov is going to know that I was working undercover. And you, the DEA is going to think that you're a crooked cop. It's not happening. Lucky: Listen, Nikolas -- we could go to the clinic. Nikolas knows - Sam: No, we are not getting involved with the clinic any more than we already have. We are going to have to tough this one out. I'm sorry. Lucky: Well, you don't know that. Sam: Who are you calling? Lucky: Hey, it's me. I need a favor, no questions. Elizabeth: Just tell me what to do. Lucky: I'm at Sam's. I need you to bring whatever you can for a gunshot wound. Jason: Shipment? Bernie: Yeah. Jason: Ok? Bernie: Landed on time, no interference. Jason: Ok, great. Contact the South American partners. Bernie: It's already done. Listen, I should remind you. They want a face-to-face. Jason: Yeah, Bernie, I know they want a face-to-face, but I got so much going on right now. Why not -- why don't you just set something up at the playa for the end of the month, ok? Bernie: I'll take care of it. Jason: Good. Is there something else? Bernie: Yeah, we got a situation that I think has -- well, it's reached a point of no return. Jason: I know, Karpov. Bernie: DEA ceased his shipment tonight. There was nothing on it. This guy is very smart. He is determined to establish a presence here and he is not going to play cat-and-mouse like Anthony Zacchara. He's going to go straight for the jugular, no warning. Jason: And? Bernie: And I think we -- we've got to implement a solution right away, before the situation escalates. Sonny: You know what? Right now is not a good time. Sasha: Well, it's the only time that I have. Max: Boss, do you want me to get her out of here? Sonny: Max -- I think I can handle it, Max. Kate: I'm Kate Howard, Sonny's fiancée. And you are? Sasha: Sasha Donev. Sasha and I Kate: Hi. Sasha: I'm an attorney for a European coffee distributor. Wow, your fiancée is certainly protective. Kate: Well, it's a little late to do business, don't you think? Sasha: Well, actually, it's almost morning in Europe. My client likes to get a jump on his competition. Sonny: Kate could you -- can you just give me a few minutes with... Kate: Sure. I have a layout to go over. Sonny: I'll see you later, then. Kate: Yeah, no, take your time. [Door closes] Sonny: Ok, first of all, you got to be aware that I'm no longer working with Karpov in any capacity. Sasha: Yes, a very unfortunate development for Andrei and for you. So tell me, Mr. Corinthos, what can I do to change your mind? Anthony: John. Scott: Get him in there. Trevor: Hold it. I want a minute with my client. Scott: Sit down and wait. Anthony: We'll get you out of here, Johnny. I want bail for my son. Scott: There's no bail. He's a killer, flight risk. Trevor: I'm going to get an order and I will take Lulu Spencer's statement. Scott: Well, you be my guest, because it doesn't matter what Lulu has to say. I've got enough on Johnny to put him away for the rest of his miserable - Claudia: You file charges of police brutality. The cops beat my brother like an animal on this whack-job's orders. Scott: We should've shot him like a rabid dog. Oh! Claudia: You back the hell off my brother. Nikolas: Lulu, what happened to Johnny isn't your fault. You didn't do anything wrong. Lulu: You don't know. Nikolas: What? Tell me. Why are you blaming yourself? Lulu: Because I did it.
Aug 18, 2008 08:13
Monday August 18- Part 2 Lulu: It was me. Nikolas: What was? Lulu: Logan was messed up, and so was I. I kept giving him mixed signals, but all I ever really wanted was Johnny. But I was scared. Nikolas: Of what? Lulu: Of feeling too much. Johnny and I kept getting closer and closer, and Logan wouldn't accept it. He thought that I would be the one to save him, but I couldn't, and now I can't save Johnny. We would have gotten away if I had been strong enough, but I couldn't. Nikolas: No. Lulu: I'm going crazy. Nikolas: No, Lulu. No, Lulu. You're not like mom. You just need to rest. You've been through a lot. [Knock on door] Lainey: Hi. Hi, Lulu. Do you remember me? Dr. Winters. Nikolas: I'm glad you're here. We really need your help. Lainey: I'll do the best I can. Lulu, can we talk? Sasha: I have brokered many of Andrei's deals over the past several years, and in my opinion, you are by far his most promising ally. Sonny: Not anymore. Sasha: Then would you consider yourself his enemy? Sonny: No, I consider myself a neutral third party. My deal with Karpov is over. He's on his own. Sasha: I see. May I? Sonny: Did Karpov send you? Sasha: No, I came here on my own. I think you're worth the effort. You're well-connected, and you have a very reasonable understanding of how things work. Sonny: What's in it for you? Sasha: Andrei would be happy if I brought you back into the fold. An alliance with you would bring us all profit and peace. No more messy investigations and nothing to clean up. Sonny: No dead bodies? Sasha: Exactly. Sonny: Hmm, interesting. Well, here's the thing. I made it clear to Karpov drugs are off limits. He lied to me. We're done. Sasha: Well, maybe we could explore other options. Sonny: You know what? I appreciate what you're trying to do, but it's wasted. Sasha: Well, I'm sorry to hear that. Sasha: If you change your mind. Sonny: I won't. Sasha: Think about it anyway. Andrei has a habit of getting what he wants. [Sonny scoffs] [Door closes] Jax: Wow, salmon pate, Moose berry chocolate, Bear River wine. Well, you really pulled out all the stops, didn't you? Carly: Do you remember the last time we had all this? Jax: Yes, I do. We were visiting my mother in Alaska. Carly: And your mom watched the boys, and we went to the river, and we had a picnic. Jax: Yes, and it was very romantic. Carly: Yeah. Jax: Really romantic, until you saw that moose and screamed your head off. Carly: I can do without uber-nature. Jax: Yeah, but you can't do without your junk food, so where are the cheesy snacks, hmm? Carly: That was Alaska. This is now, and this is about you. Jax: Carly. Carly: Ok, just admit that you love the fact that I'm chasing after you. Jax: No, it's wonderful. It's a wonderful feeling to be the priority in your life. What happens when I give in? Carly: We live happily after. Jax: Mm-hmm, unless our marriage stops being - Carly: Stop, stop, stop, because I am doing all this to prove to you how much I love you. And I love everything about you. I love your charm, and I -- I love your wit. I love your irritatingly rational mind. I even love your mooseberry chocolate. Carly: Ow. Jax: Oh. Carly: Ow. Jax: Sorry. Bernie: Karpov made a secret alliance with Sonny Corinthos. There is only one plausible reason for that. It's to find out your weaknesses. Jason: Sonny's not going to give him anything that he can use against me, Bernie. Bernie: Look, I have the utmost respect for Mr. Corinthos. You know that. For one thing, he's a very astute businessman, but he's changed since Michael was shot. He's -- grief can do terrible things to a human being, things that Karpov can exploit to his advantage. He has got to be neutralized before he can use whatever Sonny gives him. Everybody who works for this organization is under your protection. For their sake as well as yours, you can't let Karpov make the first move. Now this -- this Cody Paul guy, you'll like him a lot. He's discreet. He's reliable. He's got experience with firearms. Jason: I'm not -- I'm not going to throw this in anyone else's lap. If Karpov has to die, it's on me to do it. Lucky: Thanks for coming. Elizabeth: You guys, I am not a doctor. If the bullet hit a vital organ - Sam: It's just a flesh wound. I'm going to be fine. I'm not going to the hospital. Lucky: What do you think? Elizabeth: Yeah, she's right. It looks like a fairly superficial wound, but you're going to need stitches. Sam: I know. Lucky's probably already told you this, but I appreciate you being here. Elizabeth: I don't want to know the details, but the big picture is pretty clear. You were in trouble, and Lucky was there to save you, so either your breakup was incredibly short, or it was staged. Scott: Well, you all saw that. She attacked me. I'm pressing charges. Trevor: Claudia had an emotional response because of the police brutality towards her brother. Scott: Emotional? She's crazy, just like her father. What do you people think that you can just break the law? Well, if you do, I'm going to arrest you. Anthony: Trevor, focus on Johnny. If the cops want to arrest Claudia, let them. Scott: You see? He's right. Arrest her. Mac: Come here, come here. Cool it, will you? Cool it. You're playing into Zacchara's hands. Scott: Do you think I give a damn? Mac: She slapped you. That's it. The whole room saw it. Look, you arrest Claudia for assault, you're out to persecute the whole family. Scott: Well, so be it, Mac. I want satisfaction. Mac: Let it go, Scott. You're only weakening the case against Johnny Zacchara. Scott: Fine. I suggest that you fold up your psychotic circus tent and move on. Take her. Claudia: I'm not going anywhere until I see my brother. Nikolas: Logan's infatuation with Lulu turned into this obsession for her. Lainey: But you wanted to be with Johnny. Lulu: Yes. Nikolas: And Logan, he just -- he just wouldn't let it go, and he and Johnny, they got into this fight. Lulu: Logan attacked. It was self-defense. Nikolas: Logan ended up getting stabbed and killed, and now John is accused of murder. Lainey: But Johnny broke out of the PCPD by taking Lulu hostage. Is that right? Nikolas: This is covered under the doctor-patient confidentiality thing, right? Lainey: Of course. Nikolas: Ok, Lulu may have brought a gun into the PCPD and helped John escape. Lulu: Everybody keeps blaming Johnny, but he is innocent. Lainey: And you feel guilty about what happened? Lulu: I did it. Nikolas: She's not -- she's not responsible for any of this. If you can make her understand that, we can get her out of here. Lulu: I'm never going to get out of here. I'm just like mom. Max: Miss Howard. Kate: Has Sasha gone yet? Max: Well, you missed her by a couple of minutes. Kate: Oh, well, she didn't stay long. So she seemed fairly familiar with Sonny. Does she come around often? Max: Uh - Sonny: No, she doesn't, Kate. You got any more questions? How are you doing? Kate: I can think of a few. Oh, nice perfume. I recognize it. You can only get it in Paris. Sonny: You're jealous, Kate? Kate: You're a handsome man, Sonny. She was eying you like you were ice cream on a hot day. Sonny: She's, you know, a smart, assertive woman. Kate: That's the wrong answer. You're supposed to say something negative. Sonny: Well, one way or the other doesn't matter, because I was doing bus -- I had meetings with her, and then our business is done. Kate: Why is that? Sonny: Because the man that she works for lied to me. [Karpov shouts in Russian] Sasha: Is there a problem? Karpov: Someone tipped off the feds. The D.A. was waiting when our shipment came in. Sasha: What happened? Karpov: They found nothing, but there was gunfire. One of ours is dead. Another one is shot and missing. I was compromised, and I know -- I know who was responsible. Sasha: No, I doubt it was Sonny. It doesn't seem like his style. Karpov: What makes you say that? Sasha: He's not the kind of man who calls in law enforcement. Karpov: You may be right, but I'll have to watch people more closely. I can't afford trouble like this. Sasha: Well, I talked to Sonny, and he won't reconsider. Karpov: Forget about him, for now. Our main obstacle is Jason Morgan. Sasha: What are you going to do? Karpov: Trying to eliminate Morgan and his organization could prove more costly and bloody than it's worth. I may have to compromise. Sasha: You've never done it in the past. Why would you consider it now? Carly: Ow. Jax: Oh, ow. Wow, you really did hurt your ankle, didn't you? I wonder how I ever doubted you. Carly: I guess I've been a little less than truthful on a couple of occasions, so of course I forgive you. Jax: Perhaps you should see a doctor, though, just in case. Carly: No, they can't do anything for it. Do you know how cute you are when you're concerned about me? Jax: Of course I'm concerned about you. You're in pain. Carly: I'd sprain the other ankle in a second if it kept us together. Jax: Well, we shouldn't have to hurt each other to stay in this marriage, so please - Carly: Just kidding, sort of. Jax: Ok. Carly: What's the opposite of pain? Carly: I want us together more than anything, but you're not ready. Carly: You know where to find me when you are. Scott: Your brother is a murder suspect, not a hospital patient. You don't just waltz in here and think you're going to see him. Claudia: Oh, why not? Scott: Well, you might try and break him out like Lulu did. Claudia: Ok, well, why don't you strip-search me, but make it fast, 'cause I'm going in to see my brother. Scott: You know what? Go say goodbye, 'cause he's going into maximum security - Claudia: Why don't you do something, please? Make yourself useful for a change, or do I need to bring in someone younger and hungrier, like your son? Trevor: Special prosecutor, you are prejudicial. Back off, or I'm going to get a restraining order. Scott: Now, you listen to me, you manicured mouthpiece. Innocent people, they don't break out of jail, and they don't dump dead bodies by the side of the road. Lulu: Johnny? Lainey: This is more than posttraumatic shock, and I'm still not clear on the inciting incident. Nikolas: I assume it was Logan's death. Lainey: Compounded by the possibility that Johnny might have killed him. Regardless, Lulu's losing faith in her own sanity, and the further she spirals out, the harder it will be for her to come back. Nikolas: And how do we stop it? Lainey: I'm not sure. Elizabeth: Here's an antibiotic to prevent infection. I tried to get you more, but I couldn't. Sam: I'm sure the drug cabinets are being watched carefully these days. Elizabeth: Yeah. Sam: Um, that's sort of what all of this was about, trying to find the people who were circulating the counterfeit drugs. Elizabeth: Oh, I wish Lucky had told me. Sam: I know, and actually he -- he wanted to, but I thought the fewer people who knew, the better. Elizabeth: I would have kept your secret. Sam: I know. I'm sorry. Lucky: Ok, it's only a snack, but I can make something more if you're hungry. Sam: No, that's perfect. Thank you, thank you. Elizabeth: Ok, I'm going to throw this stuff in the garbage. And you guys are doing a good thing. Lucky: Yeah, we're trying. Maybe it's too much to risk. Sam: We've been through this, Lucky. Lucky: The bullet almost killed you by this. Sam: I know, I know, and I'm all patched up. I'm fine. Lucky: You mean too much to me. Sam: Right back at you. Ow. Sonny: There's no reason to be upset. I mean, look, I -- I knew that getting out of the organization wouldn't be easy, and I, you know -- hey, I built a reputation so everybody would know who I was and people would fear me enough to, you know, stay out of my way. Eventually, somebody was going to come and try to pull me back in. Kate: Sasha's client? Sonny: Sit down. Ok, listen to me. A lot of businesses are like mine used to be, partly legit, partly illegal, but I made it clear that everyone, including Sasha and her boss, that I am completely legit. Nothing can change my mind. Kate: I appreciate how hard this is for you. Sonny: It's not that hard. Kate: Really? Sonny: What? Kate: Yeah, you have always been ambitious. Sonny: Yes. Kate: I get it, something we actually share. The business that you built in Bensonhurst is what got you out. Sonny: Now I'm starting a new life. Kate: And I'm concerned. I am concerned that the coffee business may not be enough to satisfy you. Sonny: If not, I'll go into another legitimate venture. Kate: I want to help you. I want to help you with this transition. I don't know how. Sonny: I'll tell you how. After Michael got shot... I realized how dark and ugly this business is, and my history in it. Your belief in me... has enabled -- enabled me to walk away. Sasha: So I've done some research, and it appears that Morgan uses violence only as a last resort. He'll put up with a lot to avoid a war, so perhaps your best option is to meet face-to-face and negotiate a truce. You know, an armed confrontation might be dangerous for you. Morgan spent a lot of years as Sonny's enforcer, and he's considered to be very good at what he does. Girl: Daddy! [Speaking Russian]

Tuesday August 19 - Part 2 Patrick: Did you skip the sexual-harassment seminar? It's mandatory, you know. And from what I just heard, you're pretty much the only guy around here that could use the guidance. Matt: Ok, um, other than the sheer hypocrisy of Patrick "dog" Drake lecturing anyone about sex in the workplace, you are completely out of line. You may be senior to me when it comes to treating patients, but you have absolutely no authority over my personal life, and that includes who I'd like to flirt with. Patrick: Leyla, is Dr. Hunter bothering you? If so, just say the word and I'll have him shipped down to the admittance desk. Leyla: Ok, uh, I really appreciate your concern, but it's unnecessary. I'm perfectly capable of handling Matt by myself. Matt: I actually have work to do. Nice picture, buddy. Leyla: Did he just - Patrick: Guy's a jerk. Leyla: Yeah. Nadine: I'm so sorry. I didn't know that asking you to work matt would put you in the middle of all that. Leyla: No, it's ok. All of a sudden, I'm really intrigued about the dynamic between matt and Patrick. Interesting, don't you think? Alexis: Hey, Harper. Can you get me the report on the John Zacchara capture? There's already allegations of brutality. I want to get prepared. Harper: Yeah, I'll get it. Alexis: Thank you. Anthony: A word, D.A. Davis? Alexis: Not interested. Anthony: All right. Let me make this as clean and simple as possible so there's no room for misunderstanding. Either my son goes free, or you lose what you love most. Alexis: Your threats no longer faze me, Mr. Zacchara. Sonny and Jerry have both made it very clear that should any harm come to my daughters, you'll be dead and your beloved son might be, too. Anthony: I'm not so sure of that. Your protectors like to throw Johnny's name around, but I'm confident it's just a scare tactic. I think they'd stop at killing me. And I have no problem putting my theory to the test if it shakes up Johnny's case enough for him to go free. Unfortunately, you would've already paid a parent's ultimate price. So you just let me know. Do you really want to play chicken with a psycho bastard like me? Alexis: Get this guy out of here. Anthony: Oh, there's no need to trouble yourself. I can find my own way out. You folks get back to working on my son's case and making sure that justice prevails. Nikolas: Well, I stopped by the clinic and got your message. What's going on? Claudia: I'm worried about my brother. I went to see him this morning to try to get him to focus on some kind of a defense, but all he wants to know about is Lulu. So I was hoping maybe you had some kind of positive thing that I could take back to him. Nikolas: I really wish I did, but she's really shaky right now. Claudia: What does that mean? How sick is she? Nikolas: Well, Claudia, I certainly know you're not asking because you really care about Lulu, so just tell me what is going on? Claudia: Well, no, it's about my brother, ok? This is all about saving John, but, Nikolas, you have to understand something. If -- if Lulu was already cracking before she and Johnny made an escape, that could -- that could really help his case. And if she's too nuts to testify, even better. Nikolas: Well, then -- then your brother is in luck because my sister's very ill right now and getting worse by the minute. Does that make you happy? Claudia: No, of course not. Nikolas: You really want to know how she's doing? Claudia: Yeah. Nikolas: I'll tell you. She sees dead Logan just standing around everywhere with the knife still stuck in his gut. She's terrified that she's going to spend the rest of her life in a catatonic state. That's how she's doing. And you know what? It's not much of a stretch. Lulu: Hey, mom. I'm back. Maybe even permanently. I have a room right across the hall from you here at shady brook. [Lulu sighs] Lulu: We give new meaning to "like mother, like daughter," huh? I hate it here. Everything is so cold and sterile. I mean, the staff tries to be nice, but I know they're just waiting for me to flip out. It makes me nervous. The only good thing is that I'm close to you, so I can come see you and talk to you. It also kind of scares me because when I look at you, I see myself. What's it like? Are you at peace? Are you trapped inside of your mind, screaming right now to get out? Oh, Lucky, I'm so glad to see you. [Lucky sighs] Lulu: I hate it here. Lucky: I know, I know. It's going to be ok. Whatever it takes, we're going to get through this. Anna: Hello. [Robin gasps] Robin: When did you get back? Anna: Just now. I finally convinced the agency to give me this leave of absence I've been asking for, so - robin: Really? Anna: Here I am. And my plan is to stay here until the baby's born. Robin: Well, that's fantastic. Anna: Yeah? It's good, right? Robin: Yes. Anna: I think you might need me a little bit more than I first thought. Robin: Uh-oh. What -- why? Anna: Well, I don't know, um -- is that -- is that Leyla? You know, the one that had the affair with Patrick? Robin: Yeah, why? Anna: Ok, so I don't know, it's, um -- I don't know whether it's like the whole fatherhood thing or what, but I think Patrick might be sort of toying with going back in that direction. Robin: Why would you say that? Anna: Well, I witnessed this whole sort of bust-up between Patrick and some other doctor. And just because Patrick had kind of seen him, you know, hitting on Leyla -- and, I mean you would've thought that this poor guy had committed murder or something the way that Patrick laid into him. I mean, he accused him of sexual harassment and that he was going to report him, and -- and this is Patrick we're talking about here. You know what I mean? Robin: Yes, I know what you mean, but I think I know what's going on, so why don't we go to Kelly's -- I'm starving. We can get some lunch and I'll explain everything. Anna: All right. [Patrick sighs] Patrick: Hey, Leyla, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to intrude on your personal life there. Leyla: Oh, you have far more important things to worry about. Patrick: What do you mean? Leyla: I think Robin's mom overheard you get into that fight with Matt Hunter. And I have a sneaking suspicion she's off somewhere right now with robin, telling her that you're pursuing me again. Claudia: I'm sorry for being so insensitive and tunnel-visioned. I have not forgotten that you're going through a hell of your own. Nikolas: Yeah. It's -- I feel so helpless, again. The same way I did when my mother got sick. Claudia: That's the worst part, isn't it, for people like us. When somebody that you love so much is in such desperate trouble and there's absolutely nothing you can do to help them. It slapped me in the face today when I saw Johnny this morning. Nikolas: It's -- it's not the same, Claudia. Claudia: No, it's not the same, but it doesn't have to be the same. It doesn't have to be the same. Danger is danger, whether it's coming from inside Lulu's mind or from the legal system. Look, Lulu may be at shady brook, but at least she's surrounded by people who actually want to help her. I mean, where my brother is, he's surrounded by people who want to see him convicted of murder and spend the rest of his life in prison. Nikolas: Well, I'm going to do everything I can to make sure that doesn't happen because if John does get convicted, Lulu really will lose her mind. Claudia: Yeah. Nikolas: Ok? Now, you and I, we have to be on the same side with this. You understand? There's one fundamental thing here that hasn't changed. What's good for Lulu is good for John and vice versa. Claudia: I agree, I agree. Nikolas: Ok, so -- so we can work together? Claudia: Absolutely. All the way. Lucky: We're fine, thanks. You know, I'm not so sure going to see mom was such a great idea, at least not yet. And you really shouldn't leave your room without telling someone. Lulu: I needed to see her. I'm not used to checking in with, like, six different people. I feel like I'm going suffocate in here. Lucky: But you realize you're going to have to be here for a while. Lulu: Yeah, I guess. Lucky: Try and sound more reassuring. I need to know you're not going to try and take off again. Lulu: Without Johnny? Never. Lucky: You know, I was -- I was thinking about your situation and it feels familiar. Lulu: How so? Lucky: Well, it's not the same as me kicking pills, but there is a common thread. You have to let go. You need to start trusting strangers who may have a more realistic take on things than you do. All the people are in place to help you, Lulu -- Dr. Winters, the staff, me, Nikolas, Elizabeth, all the Quartermaines. All you have to do is let us. Hey. You think you can do that? Alexis: That won't be necessary. Johnny: I'm not about to start talking without my attorney present. Alexis: That's not a problem. I'll talk, you listen. I'd like you to meet my daughters. This one is Kristina and this one's molly. Johnny: Ok, so? Alexis: So you father has threatened to have them murdered if I don't get the charges against you dropped. See, I can't do that because they'll fire me and then someone else will pick up your prosecution right where I left off. I really need to know that you're following me on this. I really need you to understand that. [Knock at door] Cody: You wanted to see me? Jason: Yeah, come on in. Bernie says a lot of good things about you. Cody: Yeah? Glad to hear it. Jason: Yeah, so I -- I want to give you an additional assignment, one that utilizes more of your particular skills. Cody: I'm listening. Jason: Go back to shadowing Karpov. I want you to tell me where he goes, who he sees, and when he's most vulnerable. [Knock at door] Sasha: Mr. Morgan. I don't know if you remember me. My name is Sasha - Jason: I know who you are, Karpov's attorney. We'll have to finish up later. Sasha: I'm very happy to have this chance for a private conversation with you. Jason: About what? Sasha: Mr. Karpov wanted me to reassure you. He means no disruption to you or your organization. He wants to co-exist. Jason: Karpov already told me that. Why is he pushing so hard to convince me? Mike: Well, I hear that congratulations - Robin: Oh, no, I'm jut about to discuss something - Mike: Ah, it's ok. I'll leave you to it. Anna: I didn't mean to stick my nose into your business, you know? I mean, obviously, you know Patrick better than I do. It was just a hunch. Robin: It's not what you think. Patrick's sudden advocacy for women's rights has nothing to do with Leyla. Anna: Ok, well - Patrick: Hey. Anna: Oh, hi. Patrick: Whatever your mom thinks she saw was an illusion. I wasn't flirting with Leyla, I swear. Robin: I know, I know that. I was just about to explain to my mother why you're suddenly so sensitive to women. [Anna gasps] Anna: No! Do you know? Robin: Yes. Anna: Is it? Robin: Yes, we're having a girl. Anna: Oh, yes. Oh, my god. [Anna laughs] Nikolas: All right, thanks, Lucky. Bye. [Nikolas sighs] Nikolas: I can't take this anymore. Nadine: You all right? Nikolas: Oh, what do you want, Nadine? Nadine: I heard your sister was committed to Shadybrook. I thought you might need someone to talk to. Nikolas: No, no, I really don't, but thanks for making the trip. I'm fine, really. Nadine: Is that why you just killed your cell phone? Nikolas: You can leave now. You can leave now. Nadine: No. Nikolas: No? Nadine: I'm not leaving you alone in this state. Nikolas: Ok, you know what? I get it, I get it now. I get that you -- that you want to help me. I get that you have this little crush on me or whatever it is you want to call it. I get that you're a good person and that you want to save me, but you can't save me. You understand? And even if I were to be with you, in the end, you'd just end up hurt. Nadine: You can't choose for me. Nikolas: You got to be -- ok. Ok, fine. Fine. Is this what you really want? Scott: I'm going to give you "a" for effort, but it's not going to fly, not as long as I'm breathing. Lulu: What are you talking about? What are you doing here? Scott: I'm talking about faking crazy to stay out of court. I'm going to subpoena you and you're going to testify against your murdering boyfriend. And I think we'll just all enjoy the irony. Everything you guys did to bring Logan down. Your testimony is going to put Johnny away for the rest of his miserable, stinking life. Johnny: I'm not my father. He doesn't speak for me or take actions on my behalf, so if you've got a problem with it, take it to your friend Jerry Jacks or Sonny. You know, I hear that Jason's also a good one to pull in. Alexis: I don't want to start a mob war. I just want to keep my girls safe, and you can make that happen by simply doing the right thing. Johnny, confess. Confess that you killed Logan out of self-defense. You'll take your lumps for obstruction of justice and fleeing, and that's that. Look at them. Look at them. You want their deaths on your conscience? You want to wake up every day, knowing that they were murdered because of your father's failed attempt to get you released? Erase Anthony's initiative. Erase the possibility that he can get you freed. If anything happens to these girls, it's on you. Sasha: Port Charles is Mr. Karpov's first expansion into the states, so naturally, he wants it to go smoothly. He's already encountered one problem. His arrangement with Mr. Corinthos fell apart, so the last thing that Mr. Karpov wants is any tension with you. Jason: Tell Karpov he's got nothing to worry about. If he doesn't make a move against me, everything's - [Phone rings] Jason: Going to be fine. Excuse me. Yeah. Bernie's voice: The last two shipments got off safely. Jason: Good. What about the partners? Bernie's voice: They can wait for the sit-down at the playa, but they want to hear from you personally within the hour. Jason: All right. Uh, I'm in a meeting. I'll -- I'll call them when I'm done. Jason: What's this? Sasha: I don't always represent Mr. Karpov. Sometimes I represent my own interests. Sasha: I think you and I could find each other mutually beneficial.
Aug 21, 2008 12:03
Wednesday August 29 - Part 1 Sasha: I find you attractive, Mr. Morgan. And I propose a personal alliance that would be beneficial and enjoyable for both of us. Jason: Put it on or leave without it. [Sasha chuckles] [Door opens] Sasha: Oh, hello, again, little trespasser. You show very bad timing. Spinelli: Stone Cold and the Slavic seductress? [Heavy breathing] Nikolas: Is that what you wanted? Nadine: What if I said yes? Alexis: You aren't your father, Johnny. You have a conscience. And I know that. You stayed with Lulu because she needed you, and if you didn't care about her, you would be off on a beach in South America somewhere. Johnny: You know how she is? Alexis: I will find out for you. But you have to tell me what happened with Logan. And I promise you I will plead you out on self defense. Then there's a chance that my children won't get hurt. Do you know that your father threatened my daughter when I held you in -- in jail for one night? Can you imagine what will happen if you go through with this trial and you lose? I know you have a heart, Johnny. You just have to use it. Johnny: My father has to be stopped. Trevor: John -- you don't say another word. This woman is trying to entrap you. Scott: You're going to be subpoenaed and you're going to testify against that thug boyfriend of yours and you're going to send him to prison - Lulu: Leave me alone. Scott: I mean, you lied to Logan. You just led him on. You know, Johnny murders my son, dumps him by the side of the road, and now you're trying to act like you're nuts to get out of it. Lulu: You think that I'm faking? You think I want to be here? Scott: I think you do. I think you saw what your mother went through and I think you're trying to mimic her. Lulu: I'm not. I would never do that. Scott: Yes, you are. You're trying to -- to use what destroyed your mother to get out of this. Lulu: Go away. Scott: You're Luke Spencer's daughter. You're not going to get away - Lulu: Leave me alone! Scott: Do you know how ashamed your mother would be - Lulu: Go away! Sonny: Hello, Baldwin. Hey! Scott: Oh, come on. Sonny: What are you doing? You're screaming at a girl who's in shock? What's wrong with you? Anna: Oh, is it a girl? Robin: Yes. Anna: Oh, really? Oh, my god. That's so great. Oh, gosh. Are you sure, you guys? Patrick: Yes, I'm sure. We saw the ultrasound and there was nothing there. Anna: There's nothing there. Oh, my -- there's a granddaughter in there. Mike: Hey, congratulations. Anna: Thank you so much. Can you imagine all the clothes? And we can just spoil her rotten. And I can teach her karate. Mike: Hey, you can never start too young, you know. Anna: Apparently you can't be a grandparent too young, either. Do you have grandchildren? Mike: It's the best adventure life has to offer, bar none. Anna: Oh, exactly. I am going to love being a grandmother to this little girl more than anything I've ever done in my life. Apart from you, of course. I'm very proud of you. Robin: Thank you, mom. Anna: Well done. Robin: Well, you know, he helped a little bit. Anna: I guess. Just a little. You know, I've got to tell you something. I -- I kind of had a feeling it was going to be a girl. Robin: I did, too. Anna: Did you? Robin: I did. I mean, not that I wouldn't have been thrilled to have a boy, but I knew it was a little girl in there. Anna: I felt the same way about you. I knew you were a little daughter in there. Robin: I guess we had a connection even then. Anna: Yeah. You're going to have a connection with her, too. I bet she's going to be as special as you are. Patrick: Yeah, she will. Anna: I'm glad you're not one of those guys who wanted a boy, you know? Patrick: Well, actually, I did want a boy for the simple reason that I was a boy, so I could, you know, figure out how to be a father to a boy. I would basically just do what my father didn't. But a -- a girl? Robin: He's a little nervous. Patrick: Very nervous. I'm having a really hard time trying to figure out how to be father to a girl and it's -- it's scaring the hell out of me. Scott: Hey, she's faking all this. She's just acting crazy. She doesn't want to have to testify against her boyfriend, the murderer. Sonny: You're out of here. Scott: Hey, listen, Corinthos. Look at this. You see? I'm on the job. Potential witness. Sonny: You're going after Luke Spencer's daughter because this is all about you and your pathetic vendetta. Scott: You know, my son was murdered. You of all people, I think, would understand this. Wasn't your son just shot in the head? Do you not want revenge? So why wouldn't I? Sonny: Your grief doesn't excuse what you just did to Lulu. Scott: What are you, her protector now? Are you going to help her the same way you helped my daughter Karen? You're going to hook her on drugs and get her to strip? Sonny: Oh, you want to go there? Scott: Yeah. Sonny: Ok. You need to leave now. I'm going to call my lawyer. I'll have Diane call the state bar and write you up for whatever violations she can come up with. And then I'll have her call a press conference so the whole world can see that you're up here in a mental hospital attacking a defenseless, traumatized girl. You're not going to look like a grieving father. You know what you're going to look like? The coward that you are. Scott: While you're calling lawyers, call her one. Sonny: Hey. He's gone. He's gone now. He's not going to hurt you. No one's going to -- I'm not going to let anybody hurt you. Can you look at me, Lulu? Trevor: Coercing a confession from my client, Ms. Davis, is a breach of ethics. Should I report you to my friends on the state bar? Alexis: Trevor, go ahead. What -- you know what? Go ahead and do that. And while you're at it, why don't you take a picture of your granddaughter, molly. Remember her? Because your client is threatening her sister's life. And I have every reason to believe she'll be next. Trevor: The terms were clear. I explained exactly what I needed and why. Alexis: And I explained to you exactly why I can't do that. It won't work. They'll fire me. They'll put somebody else in to prosecute him. He'll end up in jail. And my daughter might end up dead. Confess. He needs to confess and then I'll plead him out at self defense. Trevor: Ms. Davis, you're a great lawyer and a good D.A. But as my son says, you don't know when you personally should stop and the law starts. Alexis: Then stop looking at me like the D.A. And start thinking about me as a parent, as a mother. Trevor: All right. Now let's just get this clear, huh? You are willing to risk your own precious children to force a confession? Shame on you. [Alexis scoffs] Nikolas: I shouldn't have done that. What are you even doing here, Nadine? Nadine: I know you're upset about your sister. I thought you might need a friend. Nikolas: I don't. You shouldn't be anywhere near me. Nadine: Believe me, if I didn't want to be kissed just now, I would have kicked you where it counts. Nikolas: Look, Nadine. Either you don't get it or you just don't want to get it. But this -- us -- is not going anywhere. You understand? Nadine: I understand you wish it wouldn't. Nikolas: And you should probably know that I'm genetically predisposition on both sides of my family for madness. Not a nice guy. Nadine: Pretty spoiled, I'll give you that. Nikolas: And did you know that I -- that I cheated on Emily, the love of my life? Caused her untold pain and humiliation. I did that. Nadine: I'd say you're making up for it now by being in love with her so long after her death. Nikolas: And I also -- I also have an evil grandmother that could just literally swoop down here at any moment and torture and terrorize the people I care about. She tried to kill Emily on several occasions. In short, what I'm trying to tell you is I'm just a really bad bet, Nadine. But -- but I like you. I really do. That's why I can't allow you to -- to risk your heart or waste your time on me, ok? Nadine: You're not the only person to have family - Nikolas: Would you -- would you just please get out? Please? Nikolas: Oh, god. Spinelli: The Jackal hadn't realized that Stone Cold had entered into a romantic -- sexual -- cheap hookup with the Slavic seductress. But his eyes cannot possibly be deceiving him. Jason: Stop, Spinelli. Stop. You need to leave. Sasha: Well, it has indeed been a pleasure. Should you want to reach me again, I'm available to you at any time. Good-bye. Dos vidanya, little trespasser. Spinelli: Surely, Stone Cold realizes that the Slavic seductress cannot be trusted, even for a mere moment. And while she may be beautiful, she cruelly ordered her goons to hold the Jackal in a compromising position with his feet dangling from the ground and his arms nearly ripped from their sockets. Jason: Just calm down. Calm - Spinelli: She will serve as a deadly destruction. And while it is not my place to question the desires of - Jason: Sasha showed up to deliver a message from Karpov. She came on to me to seal the deal. Spinelli: That would indeed be a relief. If only it were true. Spinelli: I'm sorry -- Stone Cold doesn't need to be ashamed of succumbing to the wiles of the Slavic seductress. Jason: Spinelli, I - Spinelli: I just -- and I know that you -- that you struggle daily -- mightily -- with your longing for fair Elizabeth. And so it is understandable that you would seek oblivion, which is itself a comfort, by turning to someone so completely opposite of the mother of the small Stone Cold one. Jason: Don't -- don't start talking about Elizabeth right now. Spinelli: Indeed. Indeed. Why sully your love for fair Elizabeth by slipping into the dark side by sampling the forbidden fruit? Although, I'm sure it was driven by the pain of recent months and the frustration of being so - Jason: Enough. Lucky: Nikolas? Nikolas: Hey. Did you see Lulu? Is anything changed? Lucky: Yeah. I found her in mom's room. Nikolas: Great. They put her in a straitjacket and then they allow her to go visit her incurably ill mother. She's never going to get well at Shadybrook. Lucky: Yeah. She's starting to remind me of her. I mean, she's so vulnerable. Nikolas: I know. Did she tell you that she sees Logan? Lucky: No. But I'm not surprised. Nikolas: Yeah, it could only be a matter of time before the confusion sets in, just like it did with mom. Lucky: You know -- Lulu, she would be so fine if not for Johnny Zacchara. Claudia: Hey. You know what? Don't you dare put this on my brother. Alexis: You're the one who came into my office telling me that Anthony's falling apart, talking about how dangerous he is. You and I both know that a confession as part of a plea bargain is a reasonable compromise. Trevor: Your children are safe for the moment. But had you forced a confession from John, it would be an entirely different story. I told you that Anthony will not compromise when comes to his kid. Free him. It is the best way to save your children. It's the best way to save all of us. Alexis: Trevor, there is no way that I can do that. Trevor: I suggest you find one. I don't want my granddaughter caught up in this any more than you do. Johnny: You've got to stop my father. Trevor: John -- I can't. Kate: Talk to me. Clarice: The hat feature's running too short, but we can drop in some quotes and some extra art. The caterers need final numbers for the reception. Kate: That's fine. Maxie? Maxie: Federico's seamstress never showed, so the reception dress is behind schedule. Kate: Is he aware that I need it by the end of the week? Maxie: I can go into the city and pick it up for you, if you'd like. Kate: No. How about that Japanese designer? Have you heard back from him? Maxie: Well, Lulu sent an e-mail a few weeks ago. I'm not sure if we got a response. But would you like me to send another one? Kate: Um -- no. I think that that can wait till after the wedding. But while we're on the subject of Lulu, I -- I know you've been concerned, and you should know that Sonny is going to visit her today. Maxie: She can have visitors? Kate: As far as I know. Maxie, I've avoided bringing up the topic because I wanted to respect your privacy. But the truth is, we were all here when Logan barged off the elevator and had words with you and Lulu. I'm sure you've been thinking about her, so if you would like to go and see her - Maxie: Now? Kate: Yes. And maxie, if the opportunity presents itself, let Lulu know that her job is waiting for her when she is ready. Maxie: Ok. Sonny: Breaks -- you know, from reality -- they're scary. Believe me. I know. You see things that can't be real, but they're real to you and you try to be strong. You try to get yourself, you know, together. Everything's ok for a little while, and then something happens. You see a vision. Hear voices whispering. Sonny: You don't know if it's a thought, a dream, a nightmare. I've been where you are and the worst part for me was that I lost belief in myself. I thought I was a burden to everybody who loved me. And then when I tried to get -- I tried to get better and willed myself to survive in the -- in the real world. And, you know, get some control. It got worse for me. And you know what? All I wanted to do was hide. And I understand that you find comfort in that. That makes you feel safe. But I'm just, you know, speaking for myself. I felt hopeless when I would let myself disconnect. Lulu: I hate this place. Sonny: I know. I know what that's about. Lulu: I hate the way they look at me. Sonny: A lot of people recover from breakdowns. I don't know if you know this, but I'll let you in on a thing here. I don't know if your dad told you, but I was diagnosed with something called bipolar disorder. And my life is good. I take medication. I see doctors every once in a while, which is what you need to do. Because I'm telling you right now from experience, you can't solve this on your own. Lulu: I can't solve anything. Sonny: You've got to let the doctors help you. Lulu: Ok. Sonny: And you know, you don't have to be alone in this. I can talk -- I can call your dad. Lulu: No. Sonny: I mean, I've tracked him down before. Lulu: No. No. I don't want my dad to know about this. It was terrible for him when my mom went crazy. Maybe I'll be better when he gets back. Mike: You know, it's happened to me, so I kind of know what I'm talking about. There's a certain karmic justice when a former ladies' man -- former -- discovers that he is going to be the father of a little girl. Anna: Oh, I know. It is just so perfect. Really. Mike: Overnight -- I mean, women flip from being worthy only of seduction to - Robin: Just another notch on the stethoscope, according to Patrick. Mike: To sweet little princesses in their fairy tale land who must be protected at all costs. Anna: Oh. So cute. Patrick: Oh, yeah, ok. So cute, yeah. Have a good time while every lame pickup line I've ever said is running through my mind. Robin: Really? What was theamest? Mike: Oh, trust me. You don't to know. Robin: No, no. I want - Patrick: I'm not going to sit here and tell you my pickup lines. Anna: Yes, I want to hear. Look, ted breath right now. I need to hear them. Patrick: No, they weren't -- robin: We're all ears. Patrick: No, it's not going to happen. Anna: Oh, so what was it like? Something like, "hey, what, shall I call you in the morning, or, like, just nudge you?' No? Robin: Nice one. Or what about the -- all right. "You must be exhausted because you've been running through my mind all night." Patrick: Oh, please. Give me a little credit. Robin: Come on. Don't be shy. Really. We want to hear them. Patrick: Ok. Well, first of all, they were never that fancy. I would usually just lean over and say, "I'm going to be a doctor." Anna: Oh, no. Robin: That face? Patrick: It's the only face I have. Anna: Did it work? Patrick: They all worked. Anna: That's what makes me sick, you see. I mean, women -- some women are just so -- they give us a bad name. Patrick: Well, it didn't really matter what you were saying or what the line was. They all meant, you know, do you want to hang out? But you're right. It makes me sick, too. And if any guy says that to my little girl, I'm throwing him off the roof of the hospital. Robin: So that's why I love him. Jason: Did you get the encrypted information off Karpov's PDA? Spinelli: I've been jackaling in the most focused and diligent manner, but the Russian rogue must have skilled cyber support, along with a seductress who is glad to -- sorry. Sorry. The subject is closed. Jason: Can you get the files, or no? Spinelli: I am the Jackal. No firewall can stand in my way for long. You know, the Slavic seductress is indeed attractive in an icy, terrifying sort of way. Jason: Can you please concentrate? Spinelli: Which is remarkably similar to the way that stone cold is often described by people who haven't experienced his kindness and true concern. Jason: Focus, Spinelli. Spinelli: Perhaps stone cold sees his own reflection in her icy, cold, Slavic eyes. Perhaps she leads him into the darkness of his soul and he's made newly aware of the irredeemable nature of his chosen life, and therefore must reach out for her cold embrace to stave off the brutal darkness to - Jason: You know, stop. Stop talking about all this weird stuff. Get back to work. I've got a meeting with Bernie. Can you -- can you please get this figured out by the time I get back? Spinelli: Yes, master. Jason: No, don't -- don't call me master. Spinelli: Maximista? 'Tis I, the jackal. I am in dire need of your immediate assistance. Maxie: Lulu? Lulu: Hey. Maxie: Hi. I brought truffles. Lulu: You're trying to make me fat. Thanks. Maxie: You scared us all half to death. Couldn't you have called or something? Lulu: I'm nuts. What do you expect? Maxie: I was worried. Do you want one? Lulu: This is weird. We basically hate each other. Maxie: Yeah, definitely. Lulu: But I mean, you're the only person that I can trust because you know that I killed Logan and you kept it a secret, especially from those who could have used it against me. Maxie: Logan was a terrible person who was trying to hurt you. You can't let him ruin your life. Lulu: I just feel so guilty still. Maxie: Guilt is a waste of time. Lulu: I killed somebody. Maxie: Who was trying to kill you. You have to forget about Logan and focus on getting better. Lulu: Um -- I can't. I see him. I see Logan. And he's -- he's bloody and he just stands there and he looks at me. Maxie: Well, maybe we should just get you a TV or something. Lulu: I just don't know what he wants. Maxie: He doesn't want anything. He's dead, Lulu. He's not real, ok? And if you are seeing Logan, it's because of some post-traumatic shock or misplaced guilt or something like that. But you -- you need to just ignore it and maybe he will go away. Lulu: I just think that I should confess. Maxie: No. You shouldn't. Lulu: If I don't tell the truth, I'm going to get worse and worse, like my mother, until I go completely crazy. Claudia: If anyone is to blame for what happened to John, it's Lulu. Lucky: Whoa, whoa, whoa. What do you mean "what happened to Johnny"? He completely destroyed my sister's life. Claudia: What has Lulu done for Johnny? I mean, really. She -- she wouldn't leave him alone. She's stringing Logan along, and the guy finally went postal. And you know what? If she hadn't brought that gun into the - Lucky: No, no, no. You cannot prove that she did that. Claudia: Oh, come - Nikolas: Lucky, we both know that Lulu brought the gun to Johnny. Lucky: She didn't force him to take her hostage. Claudia: You know what? The only reason I came here is to make sure that you keep Lulu off the stand. Because she could cost my brother his life. Please, don't let her testify.

Wednesday August 20- Part 2 Patrick: I -- I just thought Dr. Hunter was being a pig. That's all. Robin: Yeah, sexism can be pretty ugly sometimes. Patrick: And it was actually Leyla that warned me that your mom might be jumping to conclusions. Robin: Really? Patrick: Yeah. Robin: I should thank her then. Patrick: Yeah. Ok, I've got to go. I'll see you later. Nadine: I've never been kissed like that. Nikolas was upset but passionate. We just -- it was amazing. And then, he yelled at me and asked me to leave, so I did. Leyla: Hmm, I think I've read about this somewhere. I think its "Jane Eyre," or was it "Wuthering heights"? Nadine: Ha, ha, very funny. You weren't there. You didn't get your lips kissed off only to get - Leyla: Lips kissed off? Nadine: Seriously. It was the most incredible thing that's ever happened to me. But Nikolas assured me that it would never happen again. Maxie: Think about this, Lulu, ok? If -- if you confess, no one's going to believe you. You're in here. No offense. And Johnny is never going to admit that you did it. Lulu: What kind of case do they have against Johnny? Maxie: What, did look like a lawyer? Lulu: No, but you're the only one who tells me the truth. Everybody else is vague and patronizing, except for Scott Baldwin who exaggerates - Maxie: Scott Baldwin is a loathsome creep, just like his son, who, pay attention, tried to rape me and then kill you. Lulu: So you're saying Logan deserved to die. Maxie: Yes, he absolutely did, and if I had a knife when he was attacking me, I wouldn't have tried to play along or talk him down. I would've distracted him the first chance I got and then stabbed him. I'm glad you had a knife. I wish Georgie had a knife when Diego killed her. Don't you see, Lulu? That could be you. Your life could be over. You got a chance to do something that my sister didn't -- defend yourself. And I don't know why you're so sorry about that. You should be happy that you're alive and Logan's dead. Lulu: Because Johnny is paying for what I did. Maxie: Johnny is fine. His whole demented family is looking out for him. Lulu: How -- how are they looking out for him? Just tell me. Maxie: From what I understand, there's a strong circumstantial case against Johnny, and Scott Baldwin's pulling all these favors, trying to get the court date moved up. Lulu: I know. Scott Baldwin told me he was going to have me subpoenaed to testify against Johnny. Maxie: Ugh, that's really brave, threatening a mental patient. Sorry, just -- look, forget about Scott Baldwin and focus on getting better. [Maxine sighs] Lulu: I'm actually kind of glad you're here. Maxie: Oh, yeah? Well, then you're going to love this next part. Kate said when you're feeling better, you can have your old job back. Lulu: That must kill you to tell me that. Maxie: You have no idea. Trevor: If you go to prison, all hell is going to break loose. Anthony will personally target anyone he remotely holds responsible, starting with Claudia, then god knows who else. Johnny: So what do we do? Trevor: We do everything we can to exonerate you, no matter how many laws or legs we break. Once you're out of here, we'll do damage control, but now we've got to focus on getting you free. It's your only chance to save your sister -- and Lulu. [Door opens] Trevor: We're in the middle of a meeting. Sonny: Yeah, it can wait. Trevor: Johnny's got nothing to say to you. Sonny: He's going to want to hear what I have to say to him. Trevor: Well, look. Every time I came to you for help, you turned me down. You wouldn't even contact anybody in his behalf, so don't bother him now. Sonny: I just came back from seeing Lulu. Johnny: How is she? Sonny: She's coherent. She's in a private room, not a ward. She's -- no straightjackets or anything like that, but she's -- she's as fragile as I've ever seen her. Johnny: Someone's got to tell her I'm ok. Sonny: I had to stop Baldwin from attacking her because he wants her to testify against you. Now, that's -- that's what I'm here for, ok? You need to tell your lawyer she cannot get on that stand, because I'm telling you, from what I saw today, she'll have a breakdown if she's forced to testify. Spinelli: Ah, Maximista has arrived in the nick of time. Maxie: What's wrong? Spinelli: Sasha Donev. Maxie: Oh, I like your hair. Spinelli: Oh, but, um, the Slavic seductress whose hostile helpers nearly tore the jackal's arm out of his socket - maxie: Right, right, the woman in Karpov's warehouse. Spinelli: Yes, comrade Karpov's attorney, but so much more. Maxie: What does that mean? Spinelli: I've begun extensive research into who Sasha really is and what she really wants. Maxie: Ok, but why do you need me? You're a cyber-genius. You can do your own research. Spinelli: The jackal requires your familiarity with the wiles of the feminine heart so that once he finds evidence of her destructive and predatory ways, then Maximista can show that evidence to stone cold. Maxie: If Jason wants evidence on Karpov's lawyer, you should just give it to him. Spinelli: But stone cold is in a fragile emotional state. Maxie: He has emotions? Spinelli: Ok, he hides them well, but he -- stone cold has a broken heart, and I fear that he's being tempted by the dark side, maybe even already drawn in. Maxie: Drawn into where? Spinelli: Despite my warnings, he -- he refuses to see the danger in her icy-cold eyes. He's driven by his pain and tempted by the heartless seductress, and he -- he's seeking comfort where there is none, yet he returns again and again and again as she heartlessly exploits his most dark and destructive desires. Oh - maxie: Spinelli thinks you're sleeping with Karpov's lawyer. Lucky: I'll take it from here. I saw Lulu today. She's not doing very good. She needs your help. Johnny: Anything she wants. Lulu is all I care about. Lucky: She isn't strong enough to testify. Johnny: My lawyers won't be calling her. Lucky: The prosecution will. Scott Baldwin would love to rip her apart on that stand. He thinks Logan would still be alive, if not for her. Johnny: I'll have my lawyers block the subpoena. Lucky: There's only one way to stop that prosecution. If you love Lulu, and you want to save her, you confess. Kate: Have we heard from Federico's people yet? Clarice: I just spoke with them. Federico swears you will receive the ception gown tomorrow. As far as the wedding dress goes - Kate: Ahem. Clarice: Not another word. Understood. Kate: Thank you, Clarice. How's Lulu? Sonny: Worse than expected. Kate: I'm sorry. Sonny: Fragile, a little confused, um, she's lost, you know, the belief in herself. I tried to help her. I don't know if I got through or not. Kate: I'm sure that your efforts were appreciated. Sonny: Well, maybe. I tried to tell her, you know, to cooperate with the doctors. I don't know if that advice helped. Kate: Well, she's young, right? Sonny: Right. Kate: I'm sure that will help her chances of recovery. Sonny: I'm not sure, because one minute, she's talking about, you know, she's fine, and she's resigned to being sick, and then the next minute, she's saying that she's -- she's going to be well by the time Luke comes back. Kate: That must've been very difficult to see her so confused. Sonny: She doesn't want to end up like her mother. Kate: Well, she could end up like you. Sonny: Yeah. Kate: Yeah. You were proof that someone can survive mental illness and live a full life. Sonny: Maybe. But what if you're wrong? I've had asthma for 15 years. Jason: How -- how many times do I have to tell you, Spinelli? Spinelli: The Jackal's only acting out of deep concern for stone cold and, to that end, has uncovered substantial information on stone cold's inamorata of the shadows. Maxie: His what? Spinelli: His partner in illicit passion. Maxie: Oh, you mean his hook-up. Spinelli: Yes. Jason: No. Maxie: Spinelli, under normal circumstances, I would believe you over Jason any day of the week, but despite being an unfeeling and mostly uncommunicative blockhead, no one's ever accused Jason of being a liar, so if he's saying he's not sleeping with Sasha doughnut or whoever, then he's probably not. You don't need to worry. Jason: Why don't you listen to her? Spinelli: Yeah, but it's -- ugh. Maximista did not see with her own eyes the shocking sight of the Slavic seductress take - Maxie: I'm sure you had a really good reason to jump to that conclusion. I mean, the Slavic seductress is totally Jason's type. I bet she works out, and she seems all icy and commanding, and she probably carries a gun. Jason: It's not helping, Maxie. Maxie: I just saying Spinelli has a really good reason to worry about you, and you should be grateful. I mean, even though he's mistaken by telling people you're having an affair with a Russian princess when you're really not, his heart's in the right place, and he's a good friend, so you should just have patience. Lucky: I'm asking you to do the right thing. Admit you killed Logan Hayes. Johnny: I'm innocent. Lucky: My sister sacrificed everything, including her own sanity, for you. Now you won't even admit what you've done? Johnny: If I confess, Lulu will only get worse. Lucky: Son of a bitch! The only way to save Lulu is to get out of her life. Don't make her pay for what you've done. Claudia: Get the hell away from my brother, or, I swear, I will have your badge. Lucky: If you love my sister, you'll confess. Claudia: If you love your sister, you'll do whatever you can to save John. Nikolas: Hello. [Exhales] I was on my way to see Lulu. I thought I'd stop in and say hello. I'll just put these over here. So I understand that she was here before. I'm not sure I like that idea at this point. You know, her -- her greatest fear right now is she's going to end up exactly the way you are right now, and I -- I did. I told her about self-fulfilling prophecies and all that. Well, maybe I should give myself the same lecture, especially the way I feel right now. You know, Emily was my -- she was my salvation, you know? And now that she's gone, I just -- I can't -- I can't -- I mean, come on. I'm a Cassadine. It's -- it's never a good idea to care about a Cassadine, right? Shouldn't even have a crush on one, and that's what this nurse, Nadine -- she has this crush on me. I don't know. She thinks of me as this -- this, like, tragic hero, mourning Emily's death, living in a castle. Heck, I don't know. I mean -- I mean, I -- I like her, mom. I mean, we -- we have a good time together. She's a good person. She makes me laugh sometimes. I just think it would be really irresponsible and selfish of me to get involved with her right now. I mean, I -- I can't give her what she needs. She'll just end up hurt in the end. Sonny: We've -- we've talked a lot about spending our lives together, but we haven't talked a lot about my condition. Kate: I know you're bipolar. Sonny: Yeah. Kate: And I am ok with it. Sonny: Yeah, and I'm fine, too, as l take my medication. Kate: Yes. Sonny: But I'm going to -- I'm going to let you in on something. Sometimes I don't -- I don't want to take it. Sometimes I miss -- that feeling. And I know that I -- that I accept that I'll never have that feeling, that intensity, that focus that I had. I'm not saying I'm going off the medication. I'm just -- I'm just saying it's hard. Kate: Ok. We'll manage. Sonny: You've never see -- you know, well, you've known me a long time, but you've never seen me go through a breakdown, and I hope to god that you never do. But I just -- I just want you, you know, to know there is a possibility, and -- ok. Kate: Ahem. You know what I've seen? I've seen you be strong. I've seen you be honest. I've seen you face your illness head-on. Sonny: It -- it -- it's -- it's -- there's been times when that wasn't the case is what I'm - Kate: Well, and I pray that you won't have another breakdown, and I pray that they will develop new medications that will be more effective, but no matter what happens, I'm going to vow to love you in sickness and in health, just as I hope that you will do the same for me.

Thursday August 21 Part 1 Patrick: I have to disagree with you. I think it's a perfect way. Epiphany: You're being ridiculous. Patrick: Inspired. Epiphany: Sometime inspiration is a step away from total disaster. I strongly suggest you rethink this. Patrick: Epiphany, you have lost your sense of adventure. Epiphany: It's better than losing my mind. Patrick: Hi. Robin: Hi. Want to tell me what's going on? Maxie: So, what kind of incriminating evidence are we looking for? Spinelli: Something we can use to end the destructive affair between Stone Cold and the Slavic seductress. Maxie: Spinelli, don't you think you're overreacting? I mean, Jason's not even sleeping with Sasha. Spinelli: Ok, Stone Cold's repeated denials may have convinced Maximista, but the jackal sees the torrid truth that lies beneath. It is evident that the master is throwing caution to the wind, seeking solace by courting oblivion. But the thing is, this affair could get him killed. Oh. Sonny: Looks like the coffee business has its best number in years, thank you very much. Max: Congratulations, Mr. C. Sonny: Nothing more from Karpov, right? Max: It looks like he's going to let you pull out of your deal with him without any consequences. Kate: So I have to say, it's a little over the top, but it has a kitschy sort of charm, and I think it might be made out of solid gold, so in the right spot, I could learn to love it. Sonny: What are you talking about? Kate: The wedding gift that was just delivered from your friend, Andrei Karpov. Lulu: Yes, I need to speak with somebody you have in custody. Johnny Zacchara. Officer: I could take a message. Lulu: No, this is Linda Schmidt. His attorney has hired me. I'm a private investigator for his case. I need to speak with him. Cop: Hold on. Johnny: Hello? Lulu: Johnny, it's me. Are you ok? Johnny: I'm fine. How are you? Lulu: I miss you so much. Johnny: Just take it easy, ok? Let the doctors help you. Lulu: I wish we went to Vancouver like we planned. I wish we just kept driving there. I wish we'd never stopped. Johnny: I'll be out of here in no time, ok? Same goes for you. Lulu: I hate it here. I feel like it's sucking everything out of me. Johnny: You know how much I love you, right? Just hang on to that. And I promise you, everything will be ok. Lulu: Johnny? Johnny. No, Johnny! Scott: No more personal phone calls. Johnny: You better watch yourself, pal. Scott: Or -- or what? You're going to kill me? Is that your answer to everything? By the way, this phone call is going on record to show that you and Lulu are in cahoots, that you're trying to get your stories straight. Johnny: Lulu's falling apart. She's in a lot of pain. Scott: Don't even talk to me about pain. You know, you're going to spend the rest of your life in prison, so you will not know what it's like to have a -- a child and have it killed violently. Johnny: I didn't kill your son. Scott: Yeah, you did. Johnny: Ok. Scott: I got evidence. You and Lulu are going to pay for what you did. Johnny: Come after me all you want. You stay away from Lulu. Alexis: You need to leave, Scott. You are way too close to this case to be anywhere near the accused. Lulu: I'm sorry. I thought we had our appointment this afternoon. Lainey: Yeah, I had a meeting with a patient, so I thought I'd stop by and see how you're doing. Not well, I see. Lulu: I'm sorry. I can't help it. Lainey: Why don't we start with what upset you? Lulu: I called Johnny, and I was relieved that they actually let me talk to him. Lainey: They did? Lulu: Well, they didn't know who I was. I lied, but when I heard his voice, it was like a lifeline, and then we got cut off. Somebody hung up the phone, and I'm afraid they're going to do something to punish him. Lainey: Well, I'm sure his lawyers are watching out for him. Lulu: I just can't stand imagining him being locked up. I mean, he's not the type of guy who sits still. He's on the edge of whatever he does. You don't lock someone up like that and expect everything to just be ok. Lainey: What would you do to help him? Lulu: I don't know. I don't know. I just need to figure something out, have someone take me from Shadybrook over, so I can talk to him. Lainey: We talked about how critical it is for you to spend your first week or so staying focused, Lulu. Lulu: I know, but I felt so good when I talked to him on the phone. Imagine how I'll feel if I get to see him in person. Lainey: I know. Lulu, I'm so sorry, but that's not possible. You can't sign yourself out, and I can't let you go. Lulu: But the -- there has to be a way. This isn't jail. Lainey: A family member can sign you out for short periods of time. [Knock on door] Lucky: Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know you were having a session. Lulu: We're not. We're not. I'm so glad that you're here. Lucky: I guess you're doing better. Lulu: Oh, I am now that you're here. Robin: I really don't like surprises. Patrick: Since when? Robin: Surprises are like secrets, meaning that I don't know stuff that other people know. Kelly: Then you picked the wrong town to live in. Patrick: Ok, listen, you'll know soon. I promise. I -- I promise I'll tell you before you leave tonight. Robin: Kelly, what's going on? Kelly: Like you, I have no idea. Unlike you, it's not a problem. Robin: Well, I think I know what you're doing, and I'm going to tell you that it's a very bad idea. Epiphany: Do you hear her, Drake, jr.? It's a bad idea. Robin: Hey, mom. Anna: Hi. Patrick: Hi. Robin: What are you doing here? Anna: Patrick asked me to come. Patrick: Yeah, I did, but you're -- you're early. Anna: Oh, ok. Well, I can go and read a magazine or something. Robin: You asked my mother to come. Now I know I'm right. Anna: What are you right about? Robin: This whole intervention. Patrick wants me to stop practicing and take maternity leave early. Patrick: I -- I what? Robin: Yeah, you want me to go home and nest. Anna: Oh, is that why I'm here? Patrick: No. Anna: Oh. Robin: Are you going to try and tell me that this isn't you trying to make decisions about my future? Patrick: Well, yes, it is, kind of, but not in the way you're thinking. Listen, ok. Robin, I will tell you. As soon as when I'm good and ready, I will tell you. Kelly: Robin, deep, calming breath. Robin: Calming breaths? Mom, I love you, but I'm sorry. You don't get a vote in this, and I love you, too, but we've been over this. I am not changing my mind. I am not going to stop practicing and go home early, so this conversation is over. Anna: Actually, you know, you might want to rethink that. Spinelli: Stone Cold remains customarily silent, but his thoughts are resoundingly apparent. The topic of his torrid affair with the Slavic seductress is verboten. Jason: My personal life is off limits, even when you're talking this crazy stuff. Maxie: Maybe you should ask yourself why Spinelli thinks you're sleeping with Sasha when you're not. Jason: Because he -- you jumped to the wrong conclusion. You can't let it go right now. Maxie: No, because -- pay attention -- Spinelli is worried about you. I mean, think about it. A boy you love was shot in the head. His dad retired and dropped the mob in your lap, and now you're worried that some Russian guy is going to take over your territory. That's a lot to deal with, and on top of all of it, Johnny and Lulu have gotten themselves into this situation that's basically hit critical mass. You could snap. Maybe you have already snapped. Maybe Spinelli thinks you've snapped by having an affair that you're not really having. But he's just trying to be your friend, so you should be a good friend to him, too, and just take him seriously, even if he's totally wrong. Sonny: A gift from Karpov was delivered to your house? Kate: Mm-hmm, and I'm sure it will be fine in the right spot. It's a copy of a Faberge music box. You don't think it could be the real thing? How wealthy is this Karpov? Sonny: Go, go get the -- get it, max. Kate: It's on the dining room table. Sonny: And have -- have somebody deliver it. Kate: Obviously, something is wrong, and I don't think it's that you dislike Russian knickknacks. You going to tell me? What's going on? Sonny: Karpov is a mobster. Nikolas: Thank you for visiting Lulu yesterday. I appreciate it. Elizabeth: She told you? Nikolas: No, I actually -- I actually looked in on you. Honestly, that's the most relaxed I've seen Lulu since she's been at Shadybrook. Elizabeth: You should have joined us. Nikolas: Yeah, I know. I just got a little sidetracked. I went to visit my mom and ended up venting to her. I don't know why. But you're right. I -- I should have. Lulu needs our attention right now. Elizabeth: And she's getting the best treatment around. Nikolas: Yeah. Elizabeth: Which makes it possible for me to be here to listen to what's going on with you. Nikolas: Ah, it's nothing I can't handle myself. Elizabeth: It's Nadine, isn't it? Nikolas: Yeah, you've already made your opinion clear on that subject. You want me to be open to a possible romance with Nadine, yes? Elizabeth: I know you think you'll never love anyone like you loved Emily, but wouldn't it be sad if you missed out on something that could make you happy because you refused to leave yourself open to it? I'm not saying Nadine is the answer, but she might be the possibility. Sonny: The woman who was here the other day, right? Sasha Donev -- she's Andrei Karpov's attorney. Kate: So Karpov is the man with mob ties who lied to you? Begs the question, why'd you get involved with him in the first place? Sonny: It was a simple, legitimate business arrangement, and he came here, and we negotiated a deal. Kate: Mm-hmm, to distribute coffee beans to Eastern Europe? Sonny: Andrei Karpov misrepresented himself from start to finish. I -- I acted in good faith, and I realized that the deal was bait to pull me back into the life, and I -- I said no, we're done. And then, you know, I don't have to deal with it anymore. Kate: And he let you? Sonny: Well, he's not happy. That -- you know, that wedding present is not a gift. It's probably a reminder that I blew the deal. Kate: Well, I'm sorry it didn't work out for you. I wish you had told me. Sonny: I was doing everything with good intentions, and, you know, I wanted everything to work out for everybody, and I just took Karpov at his word, and I -- I should have done more research. Kate: Mm-hmm. Well, then, it's good you sent the wedding gift back, right? Sonny: Ok, yeah, yeah. Kate: I'm glad that you stuck to your principles, that you recognize that we have enough, so you don't have to go back to the mob. But what I'm most grateful about is that I don't have to worry at night that you're going to be dragged back into the danger. Maxie: Everything Spinelli does is out of loyalty to you. Spinelli: Ok, it's kind of Maximista to speak for the jackal, but he must take - Maxie: He's the best friend you have. Has he or has he not done everything you've ever asked him to do, Jason, without one complaint? Spinelli: Maximista's observations are genuine but not necessarily - Maxie: I can't count the number of times he's broken the law for you doing all that hacking stuff. It's not exactly like he's a risk-taker by nature. So if he's worried about you, I just think you should listen to him. Jason: Spinelli, I appreciate your concern. You're right. I'm handling a lot right now, but am not sleeping with Karpov's attorney. Maxie: Great, now that that's finished, we can talk about something else, like Lulu. I went to visit her at Shadybrook yesterday. She's about one good therapy session away from spilling the beans, and if that happens, I will be arrested for accessory to murder. I though you said you were going to fix this, and now would probably be a good time. Jason: I'll see what I can do. You, stop researching Sasha, and please finish that project I asked you to do. Maxie: I'm really sorry, Spinelli. I hope you weren't offended. I wasn't trying to say that you were wrong. I was just trying to explain that you were mistaken about that whole Jason and Sasha having sex thing. Spinelli: It is Maximista who is mistaken. She has been deceived by Stone Cold's ability to cover up his secret pain, but it is apparent to the discerning observer. Witness how Stone Cold doth protest too much. He is ensnared by the Slavic seductress, and nothing good lies down that road. Alexis: Scott, this is my case to prosecute, and I can't let you jeopardize it by confusing all the issues. Scott: There's no confusion. This punk killed my son, end of story. Alexis: It's a conflict of interest for you, and any effort that you make to get him convicted is going to end up in appeals court. Scott: Conflict of interest? Come on, Alexis. Trevor Lansing is the grandfather of your child, not to mention the fact that you have pretty much jumped into bed with every mobster in this town or you've worked for them, so you see, I want to make sure that my son gets justice. Alexis: You're a grieving father, and for that, you have all my sympathies. In fact, this office has given you a lot of leeway out of respect for your loss. But Scott, the law is the law, and I can't have you twist things around for your own sense of revenge. Scott: What are you -- Alexis, you looking for some kind of a loophole so that you can let Johnny walk? Alexis: No, Scott, I'm trying to do my job. Scott: Well, then do your job. Subpoena Lulu Spencer as a hostile witness. Alexis: I'm not going to discuss my legal strategy in front of john here. If you have a suggestion, and I'm sure you do -- send a memo. I will give it my -- my fullest consideration. Scott: Yeah. Alexis: I'll try to keep him out of here from now on. Johnny: If Lulu's forced to testify, it could push her right over the edge. Lainey: I have appointments at general hospital for the rest of the day, but I will be back for a session later. And Lulu, try not to be so hard on yourself. Things will get better, I promise. Lulu: Ok. Lucky: Thanks, Dr. Winters. You know, she's right, Lulu. You need to stop being so hard on yourself. Lulu: Well, she doesn't understand, not like you. You were in rehab, so you know what it feels like to be trapped. Lucky: Yeah, or feel like a failure. So all you got to do is just get through every day, and I promise, things will start to change. Lulu: Well, I know things will change and I'll feel better if I get to see Johnny. Please, Lucky, will you please, please take me to see him? Anna: So, let me just tell you a little bit about my experience of being pregnant with you. I was in hiding. I was basically living underground. I was constantly on the run, and I was trying to keep my condition a secret, and it wasn't fun, you know? I really, really regret the fact that I never got to enjoy being pregnant. Robin: Ok, well, I -- I understand that, but let me remind you, I am a doctor, not a super spy, ok? So every night when I go home, I do enjoy it. I take a warm bath, rose petals and candles, and relish my ever-changing body. I can assure you, I'm not depriving myself of anything. Epiphany: You know, Drake, jr., this would be a good time for you to go find yourself an operating room, throw yourself into a nice, long procedure, go home, go to sleep. And when you wake up in the morning, hopefully, this whole idea will have passed. Patrick: I'm sorry I confided in you, Epiphany. Matt: Epiphany, whose initials are those? Epiphany: Nadine Crowell's. Nadine: What's the problem? Matt: You had Dr. Riley look at my chart, my patient. Nadine: If you have an issue with my work, report me. Matt: Yeah, you bet I will. Patrick: No, you won't. Back off, Hunter. Matt: You know, where I come from, doctors don't interfere with other doctors' work without an invitation. Patrick: I'm not worried about your work. I'm worried about how you abuse our support staff. Anna: Ok, I mean, if you are truly content and happy, then I support you 100%. And if you insist on continuing your work here, then great, but make sure that it's because you want to, not because you're trying to prove something to Patrick. Robin: Ok, point taken. Patrick: Hey, what was that all about? Anna: Well, I was giving her a little bit of advice. And I want to give you some, too. You're making Robin claustrophobic. I mean, it's a beautiful thing, how much you love her, but try not to smother her, ok? Kate: So what happens now, hmm? Karpov's gift gets returned. He could be insulted. Could he retaliate? Sonny: Look at you, all worried, asking questions that you don't want to know the answer to. That's why I turned on Karpov, because I'm not going back to that life. Kate: I just want to know what we're in for. Sonny: Nothing. You think -- you think I'd put you in a position where you would question whether you're safe with me? Kate: I would like to know that you're safe. Sonny: Karpov has no power in Port Charles. That's why he came to me to begin with. He's going to have to deal with Jason now, and if he doesn't, he's going to pack his bags and leave town. I don't care which, as long as I'm not involved and you're not worried. Kate: I want to know -- when Jason was here the other times, those two times - Sonny: Right. Kate: Was that about Karpov? Sonny: It's what I told you it was. I -- I talked to Jason, and I said, "Hey, you know what? I can't help you anymore. I don't want to get pulled back in this life, because I don't want to jeopardize what I have, because I'm starting a new life. That's important to me." Kate: I like the sound of that. Sonny: So, how many Faberge gift boxes do I have to buy to make up for the one you lost today? Lucky: Johnny is the last person you need to see right now. Lulu: Lucky, Johnny never did anything to hurt me. Everything bad that has happened has been my fault. Lucky: And you know what? You need to stop blaming yourself. Lulu: I'm the one that brought the gun into the PCPD. The only reason that Johnny grabbed it and took me and ran was because he knew I was going to do something crazy. Lucky: Even if that was the case, you cannot leave Shadybrook. Lulu: I can if a family member takes me. Lainey said so. Look, Johnny was nothing but wonderful to me when we were hiding out. Everything he did was to make sure that I was safe, and -- and when I started to lose it, all he cared about was making sure that I was ok. Look, Johnny has given up his freedom so that I can get better. For the first time in my life, somebody loves me enough to put me first. Lucky: I'm your brother. I am putting you first now. You can't leave here. You're not strong enough. Lulu: Ok, then bring Johnny to me. You can cut through all the red tape so that we can see each other, even if it's just for five minutes. Please, Lucky, please. Please do this for me. Bring Johnny here. Johnny: Have you talked to Nikolas? Has he seen Lulu? Claudia: Hi, Johnny. Yeah, I'm fine today. Johnny: I -- I need to know. Claudia: As far as I know, she's resting comfortably at the nuthouse. Johnny: You know less than I do. She called me this morning. She sounded really upset. Claudia: I don't really care about Lulu's upset, john. Why the hell would they even let you talk to her? Johnny: Because apparently, they have a lot more compassion for me than you do. Claudia: Johnny, use your head, ok? Any interaction that you have with that girl right now -- it's going to be bad for you at trial. Johnny: I don't care, not what the D.A. Thinks, not what you think. Lulu is in trouble, and I'm telling you, whoever you got to pressure, whoever you got to pay off, you find some way for me to see her. Claudia: Oh, my god. You just became our father.
Aug 21, 2008 06:56
Thursday August 21 Part 2 Claudia: There's one person that I'm going to save, and it's you. You need to forget about Lulu and start focusing on your own trial. Otherwise, you are going to spend the rest of your life in prison. What do you think, Johnny, you think -- you think Lulu will settle for conjugal visits? No. So I'm not listening to you. I'm not going to do what you say. The very worst thing that you could do here is be anywhere near that stupid girl. Johnny: That stupid girl needs me. Claudia: Johnny, Lulu is going to testify against you. She's going to tell everyone exactly what she saw that night, that her and Maxie walked in and found you standing above Logan's dead body. You hear? And you will be convicted of murder. Johnny: Then find me a lawyer who can come up with a better defense. Claudia: I really don't want to tell you this, Johnny, but Nikolas thinks if Lulu testifies, it's going to push her right over the edge. Permanently. Lulu: This may be the most important thing that I will ever ask of you. Lucky: Lulu, I can't. Lulu: Yes, you can. All you have to do is just sign forms and walk me out. Lucky: Lulu, I love you. You're my baby sister, and I can't stand to see you suffer. Lulu: Then bring me to Johnny. Lucky: Johnny is the reason you are here. Lulu: No. The reason I am here is sitting across the hall from us right now. And I could end up like that. Lucky: Mom did not get the treatment she needed, but you will. Lulu: What if I start having those moments? What if I go into a dark place like mom? I am having hallucinations, ok? I can become catatonic, and the last thing on my mind will be Johnny. And how I wish I got to see him one last time. Please, just let me hold his hand while I can still feel it. Please, just bring me to him. Lucky: I would do anything for you, but not that. I'm not going to sit here and make things worse. Lucky: I know you can't see it now, but Johnny is the reason you're so sick. Lulu: Why are you doing this to me? Please. I will never ask you of anything ever again. I'm begging you. Lucky: Lulu, I can't. Don't. I can't. I can't, I'm sorry. Elizabeth: Can I help you with that? Nadine: I'm just having another of those days, and now Dr. Hunter's decided to come down on me with both feet. I guess I'm just not one of those perfect women we know. Elizabeth: Oh, wow. Who do I know that's perfect? Nadine: Never mind. Well, Emily Quatermaine. Elizabeth: Well, she wasn't perfect. Nadine: Tell that to Nikolas. I must have been crazy to think that he could care about me on any level. I mean -- no. You know what, I'm done. It's over. It's time to move on. Maxie: So how will staking out Karpov's warehouse save Jason from an affair he swears he's not having? Spinelli: Maximista and Jackal, P.I. Will obtain damning information on the activities of the Slavic seductress. Maybe even get physical documentation of the woman working her lawyerly wiles on the Russian rogue himself. Maxie: So Sasha's doing Karpov? Spinelli: No doubt she seduced Stone Cold on orders from the Russian rogue, and Stone Cold's atypically vulnerable due to his secret pain. Maxie: There's that whole secret pain thing again. Why is Jason's pain so much worse than the rest of ours? Spinelli: He doesn't have a Maximista to offer a soft shoulder of solace, and self-denial becomes self-destruction. The fact that she's an adversary is itself the attraction. Stone Cold is getting into his dark side. Maxie: That's so deep, Spinelli. Except there's one problem. If Jason's sleeping with Sasha to self-destruct, then won't showing him proof of how bad she is only make him want her more? Spinelli: All will be explained on the stakeout. Leyla: Tenth floor nurses' station, nurse Mir speaking. Sure. One moment, please. Nadine, it's for you. Line four. Nadine: Oh, great, what now? Nurse Crowell. Nikolas: Hey, Nadine. It's me, Nikolas. When's your shift over? Nadine: Uh, pretty much now. Nikolas: Ok. Any chance that you can come out to Wyndemere? Nadine: Sure, I guess. Nikolas: Really? Great. I'll send the launch for you. Nadine: See you soon. Leyla: What did he say? Nadine: He wants me to come over. Leyla: Oh. Elizabeth: What happened to "I'm done, it's over, it's official"? Nadine: He probably just wants me to come help him with his horses or something. Leyla: Do you have anything cute to wear in your locker? Nadine: Oh, why bother? I'm only going over there so he can tell me that we're friends and he'll never have any feelings for me and then I'll be humiliated so that I can go home, and, you know, grab a pint of mint chip ice cream and have a perfectly lovely evening all to myself. See you later. Lulu: Go away. Jason: Lulu, do you want me to leave? Lulu: Stay if you want. I don't care. Jason: Maybe you should tell me what you want. Lulu: I want people to stop telling me that all I need is time to get better, to trust my doctors and how so many people love me and want to see me get well. I'm sure they believe it, but that's not what's going to make me get better. You don't have a clue what I'm talking about. Jason: I understand being trapped in a hospital with people telling you they're going to make you better when they don't even know what's wrong with you. Lulu: Well, then, I guess you do know. Jason: I just wanted to check on you and see how you're doing. Lulu: How do I look? That's pretty much how I'm doing. Jason: Is there any way I can help? Lulu: Before I answer that, tell me -- do you think it's Johnny's fault that I'm in here? Claudia: Lulu is going to have to wait. You know, once you're acquitted, you can do anything you want, john, including go chasing after that little twit. Johnny: If I'm acquitted. Ok, what if she gets worse while I'm waiting for a trial? Claudia: Well, then, Johnny, the doctors will take care of her, ok? The doctors will do it. There's absolutely nothing that you can do for her. Johnny: I am hoping that all Lulu is going through is post-traumatic stress, ok? That seeing Logan dead was too much for her. But what if I'm wrong? What if this breakdown gets worse? What if she's slipping further and further away from me? This may be the only time that she has left. Spinelli: This is it. The perfect vantage point to view the Russian rogue's warehouse. Maxie: Yeah, well, let's hope we don't have to make a quick getaway, because this thing goes from about zero to 60 in five minutes. Spinelli: Sometimes slow and steady is what's most needed. It seems a reliable vehicle. Maxie: Yeah, well, that's exactly why Mac gave it to me. Because it's practical and boring. You know, as soon as Logan's murder case is over, I can focus on my career. I'm going to prove to Kate I'm invaluable, get a quick promotion to junior editor, and buy a car that actually suits my style. Spinelli: Never underestimate the value of plain and simple. For example, you see, comrade Karpov and his minions will never notice this vehicle. And even if they do, they would never associate it with Stone Cold's black and shiny SUV, which was the last car parked in this place of observation. That would have been a perfect stakeout, too. With the Jackal and his master prepared to wait out the evildoers and bring them to justice. If only the Jackal hadn't suffered heat stroke and lost consciousness. Maxie: Spinelli, that's really haunting you, isn't it? Spinelli: It was just an inauspicious moment in the jackal's burgeoning P.I. Career. Maxie: Is that why we're here? So that you can prove to Jason you can handle a stakeout? Jerry: Privyet. Karpov: Mr. Jacks. What can I do for you? Jerry: Well, I've been waiting for a meeting with bated breath to finalize your intentions in port Charles. Karpov: Well, aren't you the eager one, hmm? Jerry: Now, more to the point, sir, once we've settled certain details, I'd like to work out a payment schedule. Karpov: It's always about the bottom line with you, Mr. Jacks. Jerry: Well, then, we understand each other. Karpov: I'm still concerned by your romance with the district attorney. Jerry: I thought we explained this. Karpov: Explain it again. I'm concerned that you may have been gathering information all along to use against me. Nadine: All right, Nikolas. We might as well get this over with. Not that I haven't heard the same speech ten times. Oh -- oh. Nikolas: Sometimes an apology is easier when it's accompanied by a good meal and a fine bottle of wine. I really hope that you'll allow me to make up for my earlier lapse in manners. Claudia: You know, when I think about what this fixation you have with Lulu is costing you, it reminds me, john, why I stay away from love. Johnny: Yeah, I know, I know. Love kills, right? Claudia: Yeah. At the very least, it hurts like hell. Johnny: Do you love me, Claudia? Claudia: You know that I do. Johnny: Then do what I need. Trust me when I say I know what's in my own best interest. Lulu is getting worse and she needs me. And I've got to find some way to get to her to try to bring her back. Claudia: That's my problem? Why? Johnny: Because you are my sister. You're all I got left. You're the only one I can count on. And you can do anything you put your mind to. Ok? So please, whether it's calling in a favor or talking to our father, find some way to get me to Lulu. Please. Lulu: Lucky thinks Johnny is literally driving me crazy. But he doesn't know the truth about me killing Logan. You do. So tell me, is it Logan's fault that I'm in here, or Johnny's? Jason: Johnny wouldn't let you confess to Logan's murder. He kept you safe and alive on the road and he is willing to take a murder rap for you. I don't think Johnny Zacchara's the reason you're in here. Lulu: Thank you. Jason: I'm going to leave. Unless you need anything. Lulu: Can you get me in to see Johnny? Jerry: Oh, you think the D.A. Is using me to bury you? Go ahead, search me. I'm not wearing a wire. Better yet, let's end our association the way you ended it with Sonny. Karpov: Mr. Jacks. You don't want Sonny to be a role model. He disappointed me terribly, and that never ends well. Max: I could have had someone handle this, Karpov. He needs to hear this from me. Mac: Hey. You got the call, too? What's going on? Anna: I don't know. I have my suspicions, though. Mac: Is it Robin? Anna: No, no, she's fine. But something's up. Mac: Patrick, what's going on? Patrick: Just give me a minute here. Where's Robin? Robin: Well, I'm happy to say that your headaches are just headaches. The brain scans show no anomalies. That's pretty good news. Patrick: Can I have your attention please? I would like to say a few words about Robin Scorpio. Patient #2: That's you. Robin: Yeah. What is he doing? Patrick: As you may know, Robin is pregnant, and, well, I'm sure most of you know I'm the father. But what you might not know is that I'm in love with Robin. And I'm in love with our baby. And I'm in love with the life that -- that we can have. Mac: I'll kill him. Anna: No, it's ok. Just -- let's hear him out. Patrick: Now, I never claimed either one of us were perfect. In fact, my faults are well-documented. All you have to do is get on Robin's blog and you'll see what a screw-up I've been. What, you might ask, do I love about Robin? Well, the truth is, you can't quantify love. But I'm going to try. Robin -- Robin's amazing. She's beautiful. And she's smart. She's so smart that it scares me sometimes. Because when you're with someone that intelligent, well, you have to step up. And she's warm and compassionate, and she's stubborn sometimes. So stubborn that it borders on compulsion. And she's going to kill me for saying this, but - Epiphany: She's going to kill him for everything. Patrick: She's incredibly tender. And she cries at the drop of a hat. It's pretty adorable. Especially now that she's pregnant, she's hormonal. But what I love the most about Robin is her unbelievable strength. She faces her fears and she stares them down. She's been scared, truth is, for some time. And you've overcome your fears, and I'm -- well, I think that I'm your last fear. So I'm here to tell you that -- not to be scared any more. Because I'm in this for the long haul. Whatever that means. And we can face our fears together. Me and you. As a family. As a husband and wife. So, Robin, hey - Robin: What? Patrick: Say you'll marry me.

Friday August 22 Part 1 Patrick: I want to spend the rest of my life with you, sharing everything it has to offer -- the good, the bad, and just being a family, loving each other. Robin: Ok. Can I talk to you in private? Just for a minute, please? Patrick: Not until I'm convinced that you're going to say yes. Karpov: Mr. Corinthos. Sonny: My fiancée and I got your wedding present. Karpov: In my country such a gesture would be seen as an insult. Sonny: Consider it a message. You broke the terms of our agreement. There's no going back. I am not doing business with you, now or in the future. Do not push me. Let this be over. Lulu: I checked myself in voluntarily, so they'll let me leave, but not on my own. A family member has to sign me out. I asked Lucky, but he said he wouldn't do it. Jason: So what do you want me to do? You want me to convince Lucky - Lulu: I want you to tell the nurses that you're my brother and get me out of here. Take me to see Johnny. Claudia: I'd do anything for you. You know that? Johnny: I know, Claudia. You keep saying that. Now I need you to prove it. Find a way for me to see Lulu. She's getting worse. Claudia: She's getting the help that she needs, John. You need to start thinking about yourself. How's it going to look to the prosecutor if you stay in touch with someone that your lawyer says is too sick to testify? Johnny: I don't care. Claudia: I care. I'm not going to sit here and watch you throw your life away. Johnny: Lulu is getting put through the wringer, Claudia. She's losing her grip on reality. Claudia: That is not your fault. Johnny: Yes, it is. I did this to her. Patrick: Before I met you, I thought my life was great. But you made me realize what I was missing. You believe in me. You make me better than I ever thought possible. You just -- you make my life more. And we might not always agree, but even when we don't agree, there's always -- always mutual respect and trust. And that's a deeper connection than I ever thought possible. Because you showed me what it means to commit to something. You showed me with your love, your courage, your fearlessness, your decision to have a baby - [Robin chuckles] Patrick: Our baby, your willingness to forgive my many mistakes. I know our life's not always going to be perfect, and there's going to be ups and downs. But there's no one in this world that I would rather do all those things with than you. So -- robin, will you do me the honor -- will you marry me? Karpov: You have misunderstood my gift, Mr. Corinthos. I sent it as a goodwill gesture to assure you that despite my disappointment, there are no hard feelings. Sonny: I'm glad to hear that. Karpov: Though I think you would be a tremendous asset, I will be moving forward with my plans without your input. Sonny: The best course you could take would be out of Port Charles. Karpov: I have high hopes for my enterprise here. Port Charles is perfectly situated, a city that has so much to offer without complications and scrutiny that comes with doing business in New York. Sonny: Yeah, I know a lot of people from the outside who think so. Karpov: You refer to the zaccharas. Sonny: Let me give you a last piece of advice. Do not make Jason your enemy. I'm out of this now. I don't have to have contact with you or any of your people. Jerry: Well, that was a potentially awkward situation. If Sonny knew that I was working with you, that would be very unfortunate. Karpov: For him, or for you? Spinelli: Caution, Maximista. Thoughtless action is comparable to shining a spotlight on us or hanging out a neon sign that says, "stakeout in progress." Maxie: All right, chill, ok? No one's come in or out of Karpov's warehouse. Spinelli: Do you remember nothing from our last stakeout? Maxie: Mm-hmm, I remember mind-numbing boredom. Spinelli: That is the centerpiece of a private detective's craft, lying in wait, quiet, coiled like a cheetah on the hunt for unsuspecting prey. Maxie: A starving cheetah. I remember the last time we did this we didn't find any prey, unsuspecting or otherwise. Spinelli: That is the nature of the work. It requires a person who is a Zen-like vessel. You know, capable of maintaining concentration over long stretches of inactivity, so when the moment to act arrives, he is ready. Maxie: Who sprang into action the last time the cops showed up and were banging on the window? If I hadn't pulled you into that kiss, your cover would have been blown. Spinelli: Maximista's ploy was impressive and convincing. The officer thought that we were actually kissing. Maxie: We were really kissing. Spinelli: I mean with enjoyment. Not just as two operatives, professional and detached. Maxie: Spinelli, I really want to help you, but I don't see Karpov's lawyer anywhere. Spinelli: Well, she is elusive. We must show patience and tenacity. I mean, stakeouts can last days, sometimes even weeks. Maxie: I know you really want to help Jason, but - Spinelli: Look, I have to acquire damning evidence against the Slavic seductress to unmask her true nature and free Stone Cold from the spell that she's cast. Maxie: I don't see Jason losing his mind over Sasha. I don't see Jason losing his mind over anything. He is pretty self-sufficient. I mean, he runs the mob. He shoots at people. Besides some cyber assistance and a really good lawyer, which Jason has both of, he doesn't need anything else. Spinelli: Maximista is mistaken. Maxie: I'm just saying, don't you think our time could be put to better use? Lulu is losing her mind for killing Logan. Johnny's taking the blame. Those two could use our help a little bit more. Claudia: Lulu kept stringing Logan along. It is not your fault that he turned into a psychotic, jealous maniac. And hacked the door down with an axe and came after you. Johnny: Lulu is haunted by the mistakes she thinks she made when was with Logan. She blames herself. Claudia: She should blame herself. She's to blame. Johnny: Will you stop arguing with everything I say and listen? Claudia: No, I won't. You listen to me, John. Lulu is to blame. She might as well have stuck the knife in Logan herself. Johnny: You know, I thought when I brought her to Shadybrook, I was doing the right thing. But now it's just turned out to be a big mistake. Like every damn choice I've made since Logan died. Claudia: Johnny, why do you keep saying it like that? As if you have some responsibility for Lulu's mental instability? I talked to her brother. I know that it runs in the family, Johnny. So how is it your fault? [Door opening] Lucky: You know what? You're a son of a bitch. Claudia: Hey, hey! Back off. Lucky: While you're sitting here trying to figure out how you can get off a murder charge and walk away clean, you just pushed my sister over the edge. Lulu: You know, I'm getting worse. I can feel it inside. It's like I'm holding on to myself, to what I know is real, but it is slipping away. I need to see Johnny before it's gone. Jason: Listen, if I pretend to be your brother and sign you out, I'd basically be kidnapping you. Lulu: Don't tell me you're afraid of breaking the law. Jason: No, it's not that. I'm worried about you. Ok, there's a reason Lucky didn't want to go through with this. Lulu: Because he hates Johnny. He thinks Johnny's the killer. He doesn't know the truth about me I -- I'm having hallucinations. I see Logan as clearly as I see you. He just stands there staring at me. Jason: You really need to let the doctors deal with this. Lulu: I know what is waiting for me. If I go across the hall, I can see it. Please help me before that happens. Jason: The problem is, if you go see Johnny, Scott Baldwin's going to say you're able to testify - Lulu: I don't care. Jason: That's the problem. Lulu: I don't care. I want to see Johnny. Jason: I can't -- you can't do this. You're going to cause more problems for everybody involved, Lulu. We can't do it. Lulu: If you had one chance to see Jake and Elizabeth and you had one chance to tell them that you loved them, one memory that you would have to hold on for the rest of your life, wouldn't you take it? Mac: Public humiliation can be a real growth experience. It may take Patrick a while to appreciate - Anna: Oh, shut up. Maybe robin wants this. Patrick: So I can kneel here for the rest of the day and I will, but the rest of them have to get back to work. So for the sake of the sick and the injured, just say - robin: It's just I don't know what I -- when I thought about getting married, I didn't think of it happening in this way - Patrick: But it's happening now, robin. It's happening, and it can happen for the rest of our life if you just say yes. Robin: It's a beautiful thought, really. It's just a little -- um, just crowded. [Classical music playing] Nikolas: I'm glad you decided to stay for dinner. Nadine: You could have warned me. I would have worn my tiara. Nikolas: What's the matter? A bit much for you? Nadine: No, I think it's a great idea, all this extra silverware. That way, if you drop something, you don't even have to get up from the table. All the extras are right here. Nikolas: Yeah. That one is for the escargot, mm. Nadine: Obviously. Talk about awkward. Nikolas: I know the feeling. Nadine: I doubt that. Nikolas: No, no, really. Listen, the first time that I ate chili and French fries at Kelly's, I could not decide if I wanted to use a spoon or a fork for the chili. Really, and it completely paralyzed me. Nadine: You're kidding. Nikolas: No, I played back every lesson in etiquette that I ever had in my whole life. Nadine: Over something so - Nikolas: I know, so unimportant. And then it was a complete waste of energy. Nadine: Oh, I don't know about a complete waste. Now anytime I want to smile, all I'll have to do is look at you and think chili. [Nadine chuckles] Claudia: Whoa, hey, what the hell? Is this -- this is standard procedure in this town? Cops come in and badger the prisoner whenever they want to? Lucky: I don't give a damn about procedure. I am Lulu's brother, and after visiting her this morning, she was practically hysterical. Claudia: You are not - Lucky: So you tell me what you said to her. Claudia: You are not going to put that on John. Lucky: I know that she called you. Claudia: Hey, your sister has problems, man. They run in your family. Lucky: Yeah, that's right. Claudia: She was born with them. Lucky: That's right. It's inside. It's white noise -- harmless or in the background until somebody sets it off. Getting involved with you is what did this to Lulu, and I'm going to see to it that she never calls you again. That you will never, ever make contact. Do you understand me? Johnny: Do you even care about how your sister feels? Lulu needs me. Lucky: No, Lulu needs her family. Johnny: Oh, none of you even understand what she's going through. Claudia: All right, you know what? Lucky: Then you tell me. Claudia: Ey! Get this crazy cop off my brother, or I will sue this department into bankruptcy Lucky: Son of a bitch. I never want him near my sister again. Harper: Ok. Hey, go for a walk. Lucky: Listen, you didn't see my sister. You don't know what he did. Harper: This isn't helping anybody, all right? Including Lulu. Claudia: I want him written up. Harper: For what? Claudia: Harassment. Harper: All I saw was a good cop trying to handle an out of control murder suspect. Claudia: See that? That is why you need to stay away from Lulu. Jason: My situation is completely different from yours. Lulu: Yes. Yeah, you choose to stay away from the two people you love the most to keep them safe. That is your choice. This is my choice. I need to see Johnny. I don't know how much longer I have. Jason: You're assuming you're going to wind up like your mother. Lulu: Are you saying that I won't? Are you going to tell me that the worst can't happen? Jason: No. Lulu: And if it does, I don't know what memories I'm going to take with me. I need Johnny. He needs me. Please, just help me see him while I still can. Jason: All right. Lulu: Thank you. Angie: Uh, excuse me. Where are you going? Lulu: My brother is taking me for a drive. Jason: Yeah, I'm going to sign her out at the desk. Angie: Did dr. Winters ok it? Jason: She said that Lulu shouldn't be in any stressful situations. Lulu: I'm in good hands. Robin: Hey. Patrick: I thought I might find you here. I hope that heavy breathing is because I caught you by surprise, not because I brought on early labor. Robin: No, no, no. It's not labor. The baby's fine. Patrick: Define fine. Robin: That was quite a speech you made back there. Patrick: Mm-hmm. Yeah, I asked you to marry me, in case you missed that part. Robin: How could I have missed it? I mean, how could anyone have missed it? You asked me to marry you in front of the entire hospital. I think I finally understand how that girl feels. You know, the girl who always gets proposed to right before the super bowl. Her face is really big on the jumbotron and everyone's waiting. What will she say? How could she say no, right? Patrick: Is that what you're trying to say right now? You trying to say no? Clarice: When you walk into the reception wearing it, jaws are literally going to drop. Kate: Mm. Federico did a lovely job. Clarice: Lovely? He's just given yet another reason for all the petty and jealous in the fashion industry to hate you. Giselle is going to have a stroke. It's perfect. Kate: Well, not quite. The empire waist has to be raised a centimeter. Seamstress: Yes, miss Howard. Kate: It will give me more freedom of movement. After all, I'll be greeting guests all night and dancing with my handsome groom. Sonny: The groom is very much looking forward to that. Kate: Ahem. You need to leave. You are not supposed to see this dress. Sonny: Too late. I already saw it. And I want to see more. Clarice, get out of the way. Move. Kate: Don't move, Clarice. All right, if we're going to break a tradition, we have to do this right. Sonny: You going to run away on me again? Kate: Turn around. Sonny: What do you mean, turn around? Kate: Turn around. Kate: Ok, ok, ok. Ok. You can look. Sonny: You look gorgeous. Honestly, I can't stop looking. Maxie: I want to be as good of a friend to you as you've been to me. I owe you. Spinelli: We're not keeping score. Although I suppose it would be possible to assign a numerical value to acts of kindness, according to - Maxie: Spinelli, if it doesn't go both ways, it's not friendship. It's just me taking advantage of you, which we both know I have it in me to do. Spinelli: You know, you're not as self-centered as you'd like people to think. Maxie: Yes, I am. And you should be more self-centered. I mean, I know that you like Jason and you care about him and you want to help him and stuff, but all the time and energy you're spending worrying about him, it's a waste. I told you, he's, like, indestructible. He doesn't need our protection. Spinelli: That is the way that the world looks at men of solitude, but few know of their secret pain. Maxie: I want to be supportive, but I have this rather large axe hanging over my head. I mean, if Lulu confesses to being the one that killed Logan, Scott Baldwin's going to figure out that I helped. I'll be charged with aiding and abetting and my life will be ruined, and Mac's heart will be broken. Spinelli: You know the jackal would fall on his metaphorical sword to prevent either outcome, but there's nothing left to do. There's no more evidence to be uncovered, and it's way too late to prove that Lulu acted in self defense, so - Maxie: So I just have to wait for the axe to fall. Spinelli: Well, thus the jackal's current project. If nothing else, it provides Maximista with something else to occupy her thoughts. Maxie: You did this for me? Lucky: Excuse me, have you seen my sister Lulu Spencer? Doctor: She left a little while ago. Lucky: I thought she could only be signed out by a family member. Doctor: She was, by your brother. Lucky: Oh, I'm just -- just surprised that he didn't mention it. Did he happen to say where -- what their plans were or where they might be going or - doctor: Just that he was taking her for a ride. Your sister seemed happy. Almost eager to go. It was such a marked improvement in her mood that I put aside any reservations I had. Lucky: About what? Doctor: The fact that he was driving a motorcycle. Claudia: Johnny, if I wasn't here, how long do you think it would take you to confess that -- that you killed Logan? You know what I don't understand is why loving this girl - Lulu: I'm here to see Johnny. Harper: What's this have to do with you? Lulu: I needed a ride. Jason gave me one. Now I need to see Johnny. Harper: The man who took you hostage. Jason: She's not armed. They just searched us on the way in. Just please let her see him. Harper: Are you sure you're all right? Lulu: Yes, I need to see him. Please. Harper: His sister's in there. I'll see if she'll leave so you can go in, all right? One visitor at a time. Johnny: Send her in. Claudia: No, send her away.

Friday August 22 Part 2 Epiphany: I tried to warn that boy. Leyla: You know, it's clear that Robin and Patrick love each other. I think it's just a matter of time that Robin realizes she's actually getting what she wants. Matt's voice: Oh, you can't be serious. Matt: Really? You want to wish Patrick Drake on another woman? He'll be cheating on her with the first nurse that he sees. Elizabeth: You know, maybe she just wanted to accept in a more private moment. Kelly: She was fleeing in terror. Elizabeth: She was a little overwhelmed. Ok, a lot overwhelmed. Lainey: You know, Robin was just so ambivalent about raising a baby with Patrick that marriage probably just feels like overkill. Kelly: She thinks that he's not marriage material. I mean, imagine being at a party with your husband, and then suddenly wondering if he's slept with every woman in the room. Elizabeth: Ok. Kelly: Not that I'm in any position to judge. [Laughter] Elizabeth: He just bared his heart in front of all of us. It was one of the most romantic declarations I have ever seen. Lainey: One of the most? Kelly: No, don't ask. You'll just get depressed. Well, we all know how obstinate Robin can get, right? She's going to dig in her heels and come up with a hundred reasons why she shouldn't get married instead of following her heart. Elizabeth: Come on, the man has changed. What else does he have to do to prove it? Lainey: What else can he do? Kelly: Clearly, it's time for us as Robin's friends to step in and take control of the situation and steer her in the direction of her heart. Robin: Before I give you an answer, I want you to know how much I truly I love you and how committed I am to raising our little girl together. Patrick: Hey, you're really starting to scare me because this is just starting to sound like a no. Robin: Well, I need you to be honest with me and be honest with yourself about why you suddenly want to get married. I mean, before -- not that long ago, it was, like, a death sentence to you. Life is over as you know it. Patrick: I thought we established that the things I've said in the past no longer apply. Robin: Ok, everything changed when you found out you were going to be a father, right? Patrick: Right. Robin: So maybe that's the reason that you want to get married or feel like you should because of the baby, but I honestly think that is a recipe for disaster. Getting married because you are having a child together is a mistake because it means - Patrick: You're right. Robin: What? Patrick: You're right. I think it would be a mistake to get married just because we're having a child. I couldn't agree with you more. Jerry: I'm done trying to convince you, Mr. Karpov. You won't get a better deal or more attractive incentives. If you don't think I'm trustworthy, there's no point going on. Karpov: I am satisfied that you are not wearing a wire or feeding the information to the district attorney. But I still have questions about your loyalty. Jerry: I'm loyal to whoever pays me, Mr. Karpov. At this point, you need me. See, you won't last in port Charles without me. Karpov: I wouldn't overestimate your worth, Mr. Jacks. [Telephone rings] Karpov: Da, this is Karpov. Two in the alley? Outside the warehouse? [Karpov speaks Russian] I'll handle it. Da, ok. [Karpov speaks Russian] Jerry: [Russian accent] Problem? Karpov: And you are maybe the solution. Maxie: This is exactly the kind of thing that I wish I could do for you, to show you how much I care about how you. Spinelli: Well, I'm sure if you put your mind to it - Maxie: I mean, you're trying to keep me distracted, but I can think of a lot of better things than some boring stakeout. Spinelli: Well, my motives weren't entirely selfless. I mean, there is vital information to be gained, and Maximista has proven her insights are quite valuable. Maxie: Well, that's really sweet of you, except I think you're giving me way too much credit. I'm sure I could spot a liar, but that's only because I spend most of my time lying. When it comes to gathering incriminating evidence on mobsters, my intuition is basically just how badly they dress. I -- Spinelli? Spinelli: Huh? Maxie: Did you just see that? Spinelli: What? Spinelli: Well, someone just went into the Karpov's warehouse. Spinelli, I think that they have a gun. Johnny: I need to see Lulu. Claudia: John, please don't do this. It's suicide. Johnny: Claudia, please don't argue with me. You're making it worse. Harper: All right, you can come in. Lulu: Hey. Harper: Just -- you stay on your side of the table, all right? You guys can hold hands. That's it. Claudia: Why the hell did you bring her here? Do you want to get Johnny convicted? Is that what you want? Jason: I did Lulu a favor, that's all. Claudia: The girl's crazy, Jason. If she her for a razor blade, would you give it to her? Jason: So just because she's sick, it doesn't matter what she wants? Claudia: What are you? Are you -- are you like an advocate for the mentally ill now? That girl is going to get up on the stand and open up her big fat mouth, and my brother is going to end up in prison. Jason: You know what, she's already in there. Let the visit happen. It might help both of them. Claudia: Is that why you did this? Because you thought it was going to help? Jason: Don't go. Lucky: Get the hell away from me, or I'll have you locked up for impersonating my brother or taking Lulu from Shadybrook. Jason: She needed to see him. Lucky: Huh, is that you're official diagnosis because you are a psychiatrist now? Jason: No, no. All I did was listen to Lulu. Lucky: Well, Lulu is having a breakdown. She's not making the best decisions for herself. So you didn't do her any favors. Go away. Stay the hell away from her. Jason: Lulu wants this. Don't make it any harder on her. Claudia: Hey, cop. You can't possibly hate this more than I do, but you know the only way to make it worse is to go in there and try to rip the two of them apart. [Lulu sighs] Lulu: I think that I'm getting worse. I'm just -- I'm so afraid. Johnny: Don't. Lulu, don't do that to yourself. Don't give up. Hold on. Promise me you're going to hold on. Spinelli: Karpov's men are off-loading goods from the truck. No doubt it's contraband. Maxie: Ok, let's make an anonymous call to the police station. Spinelli: If this place gets busted and shut down, it'll only limit the jackal's opportunities to gain evidence against the Slavic seductress. Maxie: Stop that. If Jason says that he is not getting it on with Karpov's lawyer, then he is not. All we need to do is gather enough evidence to run Karpov out of town, and to do that, we just need to involve the police. Where are you going? Spinelli: Before we call anyone, the Jackal must investigate further. [Classical music playing] Nadine: What -- did I use the wrong -- is there chocolate sauce on my chin? Oh, god! Nikolas: [Laughing] No. No, no, you just looked like you were enjoying yourself over there. Nadine: Um, I am. Nikolas: Good, that's something that I admire about you. Nadine: That I can enjoy myself? Nikolas: That you can live in the moment, appreciate what's right in front of you. Nadine: Well, it's not hard when what's right in front of you is the most delicious chocolate concoction you've had in your entire life. Nikolas: Well, I don't mean just this. I mean, the pediatric ward, with the kids and climbing through some innocent guy's window just to investigate. Nadine: Mm-hmm. You thought I was an idiot for doing that. Nikolas: Mm-mmm. I think that the undertaking was a bit misguided. Nadine: I believe the word you used was "ridiculous." Nikolas: My point is that even when your actions are questionable, your motives aren't. You're very enthusiastic and open to new experiences, and I hope you never lose that. Nadine: Oh. What about you? Are you open to new experiences? Sonny: You look so gorgeous in this magnificent dress that I don't know how the wedding dress is going to compare. Kate: Well, it's different. It's more formal. Sonny: So it's not like a bunch of pillows exploded? Kate: Oh, what are you saying? You saying that I wouldn't look good with a bunch of pillows exploding? Sonny: Nah, I'd say you'd look good in anything. But you'd even look better with nothing. Patrick: I am totally committed to raising this baby with you, but that's not the reason why I want to get married. Robin, I want this to be a commitment to you, because I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Robin: Well, we can still do that. We don't have to get married, you know. We don't have to go through the stress and the formality. Patrick: I want the stress. I want the formality. I want all of that. I want to say our vows. So the next time we have some stupid or even meaningful fight, there's a reason to stay -- a reason to try again. And I know that it's a big change, but I know that we can do it together. I love you. For rich or for poor. For better or for worse. For all of it. I want to be with you. For the rest of my life. Robin: I love you so, so much. Robin: I'm so sorry. I just -- I can't marry you. I'm sorry. Nikolas: Yeah, I was raised a certain way, right? I was taught to honor tradition, and I don't know, maybe it's -- maybe a little - Nadine: Rigid? Nikolas: Not as open and spontaneous as some people. Nadine: Well, maybe you could work on that. Make yourself open to -- to new things. Nikolas: Got something in mind? Nadine: Well, we've never danced. Nikolas: No, this is true. Nadine: So, maybe we could -- no, no, no, no. You know what? That is a bad idea. Nikolas: No, no, no, it's not. What kind of music do you like? Nadine: Well, we are at a castle. So maybe we could waltz. Nikolas: Yeah, yeah. You waltz? Nadine: Well, I used to stand on my dad's feet, and he'd dance me around the room. It's one of my favorite memories, but there wasn't much call for ballroom dancing where I grew up so - Nikolas: Right. Well, this will be another good memory. Come on. Nadine: Oh, I don't want you to remember me looking like this. Nikolas: No, that's -- you look beautiful. Come on. Nadine: Ok. Nikolas: You ready? Nadine: Yes. Nikolas: All right. Nadine: Ok. Nikolas: There you go. Nadine: All right. Nikolas: You ready? Nadine: Yeah. Nikolas: Ok. Nadine: Ok. Ok. [Both laugh] Nadine: It's harder than it looks. Nikolas: Just follow me, all right? I'm going to spin you now. You ready? Nadine: All right. Nikolas: Ready? Nadine: Mm-hmm. Ready. Nikolas: Wow, ok. Nadine: Good. Nikolas: This is going to be it. Nadine: Mm-mmm. Nikolas: [Laughing] Work it out. Nadine: That was just the first one. Ok, all right. Nikolas: Ready? Nadine: Yeah. [Nikolas laughs] Nikolas: There you go. Nadine: Better, see? Sonny: You know what? Kate: What? Sonny: I take it back. Kate: What? Sonny: All the comments, teasing, and all that -- that -- you know. About your big plans for the wedding, I -- you were right. Kate: Well, it's your wedding, too. You get a say, and I know you're a private person. Sonny: Yes, I am. But, you know, some events are watershed in your life, and this is a big deal, and, uh -- we're starting a new life, and I want to make a statement. I'm very proud that you're going to be my wife. [Sonny grunts] Kate: What? What happened? Sonny: I just -- I guess the pin in the back. Kate: There's blood on the dress. Oh, this is the worst possible luck of all. Claudia: Listen, cop, the damage is already done, right? Jason, he brought Lulu here, and she's in there with Johnny. Just give them a couple of minutes, ok? And then you can drag Johnny back to his cell, business as usual, and there will be no drama. Lucky: You just don't want Johnny flipping out in front of his girl. Claudia: I don't. You're right. I'm looking out for my brother. But you should be doing the same thing for your sister right now. She needs to be in there. Scott: What the hell is your sister doing in there with Zacchara after what happened last time? Lucky: She was searched. Scott: I want her out. Lucky: Give her a few more minutes. Johnny: You know, we're going to get through this. You're strong. But I need you to focus on getting well. Do what the doctors tell you to do. Lulu: What about you? Johnny: I'll be fine. I'm going to beat these murder charges, and when I do, I'm going to be waiting for you when you get out. Hey, forget about your mother. Forget about the past. Forget about everything. We're going to have the life that we planned. Lulu: No. No, no, no. No, no. No, no, no! You're not real. You're not real. You're not real. You're not real. No, no. Spinelli: I must go scout at the warehouse. Maxie: No, no, no, no. The last time you did that, you almost had your arms ripped out of their sockets, and I had to make up a crazy story that we were having sex in there. Spinelli: I won't require assistance this time. I must prove to you and Stone Cold that my manly prowess is sufficient. Maxie: Spinelli, don't you do this. Spinelli: I am a master of stealth. It's ok. Maxie: But you don't have to prove anything to - [Car crashes]

Mon Aug 25--Part 1 From TV Megasite
Nikolas: How does it feel?
Nadine: A little strange.
Nikolas: Relax, relax your arm, ok? Your elbow.
Nadine: Ok, mm-hmm.
Nikolas: All right, try not to look at your feet.
Nadine: Ok.
Nikolas: And just follow me. I'll take you where you need to go, all right?
Nikolas: You got to feel the music pulsating through your veins.
Nadine: All right, I got it, I got it.
Nikolas: Now we're going to go around, all right?
Nikolas: Ready? One, two, three four -- oh, all right.
Nadine: You're even better than the jackal.
Nikolas: You mean spinelli?
Nadine: Yeah. I danced with him once. He was surprisingly rhythmic, actually.
Nikolas: Well, then, I'm quite flattered.
Nadine: You're doing a very good job of not making me feel like a total klutz.
Nikolas: [Chuckles]
Nadine: Oh, yeah, that was your toe, wasn't it?
Nikolas: Yep, that was my toe. That's all right, I got another one. Just relax, ok? We'll just stick with this, all right? We'll just stick with this.
Nikolas: All right, put your elbow up. Ready?
Nadine: Yes.
Kate: Oh, my god. This is bad.
Sonny: What?
Kate: You have to get salt. You have to -- salt. Hurry.
Sonny: Salt? For what? Get the blood out?
Kate: You're going to make me explain this to you now?
Sonny: Well, you should explain it --
Kate: You have to throw the salt, sonny, all right? And then you have to spit. Just go. It's in the second cupboard on the right.
Sonny: Two specks of blood right here. That's all I got here.
Kate: Go.
Sonny: All right.
Kate: The salt is for throwing and you don't really have to spit, all right? You just have to pretend to spit so that you ward off the curse.
Sonny: What curse?
Kate: Blood on the wedding dress! It is the worst omen of all.
Lulu: [Crying]
Johnny: Please.
Lulu: No, you're dead! Stop torturing me! Go away!
[Screams] No!
Maxie: Spinelli, don't you do this.
Spinelli: I am a master of stealth. It's ok.
Maxie: But you don't have to prove --
[Tires screech]
Maxie: [Screams] Spinelli! Spinelli!
Spinelli: [Gasping]
Maxie: Spinelli? Oh, god, spinelli. Come on, wake up. Spinelli? Oh, god. Are you ok, spinelli? Come on, wake up, please. Spinelli. Nikolas' voice: Nadine?
Nikolas: Nadine. What's wrong? Did I make you dizzy?
Kate: Sonny, what is taking you so long? Give it to me.
Kate: Uh -- ok, do it. Do it. Thank you. Ok.
Kate: Spit.
Sonny: You -- come on, I'm not going to spit.
Kate: Yeah, you are going to spit. You're going to spit right now. Right now. Shoot.
Sonny: You see? What -- ok, you know what? Hopping around like that, you're going to fall and -- and break your face.
Kate: I have to hop in a full circle while chanting "faith and love" six times. Love and faith, love and faith.
Sonny: Oh, so I guess the salt wasn't enough for you?
Kate: Nonna falconeri said i have to hop-chant whenever i felt the premonition of a disaster.
Sonny: All right, stop. Now stop because now you're making me nervous.
Kate: There is blood on one of my wedding dresses, a wedding dress that you were never supposed to see. I am facing multiple curses here, all right? One cannot be too safe.
Sonny: You want to break a curse? I got a way to break a curse.
Lulu: Leave me alone!
Johnny: Lulu, look at me, please. Ok, will you take my hand, huh? Come here. I know you saw logan again, but he's gone. Ok, it's just the two of us. We're safe. You're safe now.
Lucky: You need to stay the hell away from her. You understand me, boy?
Lulu: This is not happening. This is not happening. I want to go back. I want to go back. I want to go back. I want to go back.
Sam: Hi, lucky, it's me. I know I said I turned down that chance to work tonight, but I actually thought I would keep an eye out on things anyway because something big is about to happen. I can feel it. I am right now on pier 52. Karpov is supposed to be unloading a shipment or something -- I'll call you back.
Karpov: [Speaking russian]
Jerry: [Speaking russian]
[Siren]
Maxie: Don't worry, spinelli. I'm getting you help, ok? What's wrong with you people? I called for an ambulance five minutes ago. No, we're right by the hospital. It shouldn't be taking you this long. My friend could be dying.
Spinelli: Maximista?
Maxie: Hold on. Are you ok?
Spinelli: I feel like I was hit by a truck.
Maxie: It was a car, but don't move, ok? Do you hear those ambulances? Those ambulances better be for us. Behind the warehouse, water street and third. Ok, they're -- they're here, ok? Just stay still and don't -- don't move. It's ok. Oh, god. Thank god. Paramedic: Is this the hit-and-run?
Maxie: Yeah, he went over the hood of the car, but he was talking to me two seconds ago. Spinelli! Paramedic: Is it spinelli? Is it spinelli?
Maxie: Spinelli, come on. Yeah. Paramedic: Does he have any prior medical history, allergies or anything?
Maxie: No, no, not that I know of. He's not that strong, but he's brilliant and really intelligent. I'm just afraid if he hit his head -- paramedic: You need to get back, miss, ok?
Maxie: Please, you have to save my friend, ok? Please!
Kate: This is exactly the kind of behavior that got us into this predicament.
Sonny: What predicament? Stop being silly. Come here just for -- just come here for a second.
Kate: It's really a shame, you know?
Kate: I liked this dress and now federico is just going to have to make me a new one.
Sonny: So you're going to trash this beautiful dress that looks so beautiful on you because there's a speck of blood?
Kate: Yeah.
Sonny: We did the salt thing. We did the spit thing. If you want to bunny hop, you can lean on me. Let's banish this curse right now.
Kate: And now you're making fun of me.
Sonny: I'm not -- wouldn't you, honestly?
Kate: It doesn't really matter, right? Because I can't wear this dress anyway. I can't wear it to the reception. I'll be looking over my shoulder the whole time, seeing if the roof is caving in. Why don't we just bring some black cats, some ladders? You know, cats, they get a bad rap in that. But it doesn't matter. We could just make the wedding date on friday the 13th. How's that?
Sonny: I want this dress. I love this dress. I love you in it. And when we have our first dance as husband and wife, I want you wearing this dress.
Kate: Ok, I -- oh, my goodness.
Kate: I'd hoped you'd approve, but I didn't think you'd be so attached.
Sonny: Well, I can't explain it. The dress speaks to me. Can I show you?
Kate: I don't know.
Sonny: Come here. Let me see this. It's a beautiful dress. I love it. Can you move that, please? All right?
Kate: Ok, just -- I'm going to consider it.
Sonny: Ok.
Kate: But if there is the remote chance of me ever putting this dress on for any reason at all, you have to stop kissing me while I'm in it.
Sonny: Yeah, I can live with that. Come over here for a second. How you doing? Oh, that's nice.
Matt: Nurse mir, I couldn't help but notice your reaction to something I said earlier.
Leyla: Oh, really? What was that?
Matt: It's just when i mentioned that patrick would probably be cheating on robin with the first nurse that he came across, you got this look on your face.
Leyla: You're either incredibly insensitive or you have no clue. I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume the latter. The last nurse that patrick had an affair with was me.
Matt: Really?
Leyla: 10th floor, nurse mir. They're bringing up a patient from E.R. Hit-and-run, drifting in and out of consciousness, possible internal injury.
Matt: Responsive?
Leyla: Is he responsive? To painful stimuli. Patient's name? As in damien spinelli?
Matt: What are his vitals?
Maxie: Oh, hell no. There is no way that I'm entrusting my friend's life to some careless, egotistical jerk. Spinelli.
Nadine: You don't have to take care of me.
Nikolas: Here, drink, drink.
Nadine: But --
Nikolas: Drink it.
Nadine: All right.
Nikolas: I'm really sorry about that.
Nadine: Sorry?
Nikolas: Yeah, I should have remembered, all that spinning can make you dizzy if you're not used to waltzing.
Nadine: It wasn't dizzy, exactly. It was more exhilarated. Once I relaxed, like you said, it was almost like flying.
Nikolas: You're a good partner, very -- very light in the arms.
Nadine: Hmm. Well, in that case, maybe we could give it another try?
Nikolas: Really? You sure?
Nadine: Very sure, unless you can't bear the thought of dragging me around the dance floor once again.
Nikolas: I'd be delighted.
Nadine: Great.
Nikolas: Come on.
[Pager beeps]
Nadine: Technically, I'm still on call, and that's spinelli in the O.R. With a hit-and-run, so I got to go.
Nikolas: Yeah, ok. Can I give you -- give you a ride there? I'd be happy to give you --
Nadine: Thank you so much.
Nikolas: You're welcome.
Nadine: It was amazing, just amazing. I got to go.
Nikolas: Are you sure you don't want --
Alexis: Perhaps you didn't hear me when I said this before that crime doesn't just stop in port charles because logan hayes is murdered and zacchara is arrested. You know, there's -- there's ordinary victims here that don't have the same luxury as other people who, like baldwin, call in their special favors for you --
[Knock on door]
Alexis: To send the trials through willy nilly. Just a second. I'll call you later. Yes, yes.
[Knocking]
Alexis: Yes! Come in. Hi.
Jerry: Hello, darling. Have I ever mentioned how much joy it brings me when you make time in your busy schedule for me?
Alexis: Ok, listen, don't get ahead of yourself because whatever you want to do, we're going to have to do it in literally two seconds because i don't have time --
Jerry: Oh, come on. Balderdash. You have to eat, don't you?
Alexis: "Balderdash"? No, I don't have to eat. I need this, though, because i have to check the dates to set up a deposition. I have to send in an evidence log. I have to call molly --
Jerry: Yes, yes, yes, spare me the litany of tasks. You know, you told me already when you peppered me with your busy schedule. You know, your voice betrays you as well.
Alexis: I don't even know what that means.
Jerry: It means that not only would you love to spend some time with me, but you're famished. You've been eyeing this since i walked in, and you're dying to know what's inside. So I'm going to give you a little peek. You want to take a peek? Yes?
Alexis: Ok. Oh.
Jerry: You see? I brought you your favorites.
Alexis: You did, didn't you?
Jerry: Yes, my darling. You see, my only mission in life is to make sure your body gets everything it needs.
Lucky: Lulu? Can you hear me? It's me, lucky. Hey, I need you to focus. Just -- you know what, why don't I get you out of here. We can -- let's go somewhere quieter. We can get a drink. We can talk and we can try to figure this out.
Lulu: Wait a minute, wait a minute.
Lucky: You all right?
Lulu: What about johnny? I don't want to leave him. I don't want to leave.
Lucky: I know, but it's time. We have to go.
Lulu: No, no, no, but we don't have a lot of time left. I need to see him.
Lucky: No, no.
Lulu: No, no, you're not listening to me. No, wait! Johnny, no! Why are you doing this?
Claudia: Hey, don't watch. Come on, there's nothing you can do for her. It's just going to make it harder on you.
Scott: Well, that was quite a performance, but it's not going to keep lulu off the witness stand. Get off of me, you --
Claudia: John, don't! Come on, don't, don't, don'T.
Nadine: I just heard about spinelli. How's he doing?
Leyla: He's pretty banged up, but stable. Dr. Hunter is ordering a battery of tests.
Nadine: Oh, matt hunter is his attending?
Leyla: Yes.
Nadine: Ok, maybe I should intervene.
Leyla: How?
Nadine: I don't know, go warn patrick drake?
Leyla: Dr. Hunter might be an arrogant jerk, but professionally speaking, he's very competent. I don't think spinelli has much of a choice right now. Patrick left an hour ago and hunter's the best physician in the building tonight.
Nadine: Yeah, nothing says care and compassion like a doctor who steals medication and switches it with placebos.
Leyla: How much evidence do you actually have against hunter? Because if you're right, he shouldn't be anywhere near spinelli.
Matt: Ok, so I need a cat scan. Make that a C.D.C., A D.I.C., A B.M.P., Liver panels, amylase, liapase. In the meantime, I want to get him on a hydro-morphine drip for the pain, 2 milligrams, B.P.Q. 15, and keep an eye on the abdominal bleeding.
Elizabeth: Ok.
Maxie: Wait, wait -- you order a couple of tests, throw in a fancy drug and then leave spinelli to suffer? What kind of pathetic excuse for a doctor are you?
Matt: Ok, really, you have to make up your mind. You don't want me treating spinelli. Now I'm doing too much. And really, it doesn't matter because you're not related to him, blood or by marriage.
Maxie: Maybe not, but spinelli is my best friend in the entire world and I will not let anything happen to him.
Alexis: I couldn't possibly.
Jerry: Oh, come on. A sip or a bottle won't hurt.
Alexis: Just one glass because I owe the citizens of port charles due diligence and I still have all night to work.
Jerry: You see, that's why god created assistant D.A.S, so madame boss has her minions delegate the clutter on her desk, thereby freeing her to indulge in what truly is her absolute passion.
Alexis: You're a very bad influence, you know that?
Jerry: And I haven't even started, darling.

Monday--Part 2
[Door opens]
Sam: Uh, sorry. I -- I guess I caught you at a bad time. Then again, maybe there's no time like the present.
Sonny: You know what? If we're cursed, bring it on because that was amazing.
Kate: Mm-hmm.
Sonny: Yeah, well?
Kate: Well, I agree. But can you do me a favor?
Kate: Can you please not invite curses?
Sonny: Are you -- you're serious about this curse thing?
Kate: It's hard not to be with my heritage. Sonny, do you remember how many people were superstitious when we grew up?
Sonny: Like moose minucci's uncle dino when he used to sweep out his toy store?
Kate: Yes, exactly, always with a dustpan. He'd never push the dirt out the door because he didn't want to push -- sonny and
Kate: Out the luck.
Sonny: You know, remember -- I don't know if you know the cerullos. They would never say the name of an illness out loud. They would always whisper.
Kate: Well, if you say it out loud, it makes it so. But, you know, nonna falconeri, she was the worst. The worst. She had tons of superstitions. She had this mirror in her front room, apparently. It came with us when the family came from sicily. You know, it was her lucky looking glass. So anyway, one day, my cousin olivia and I, we were playing snow white. And before I could stop her, olivia took the mirror off of the wall, you know, to see who was the fairest of them all, and it fell and broke.
Sonny: What's wrong?
Scott: See, now, that's what I was saying. Your brother's a threat to everybody in this department, especially to me. So I'm sending him out to pentonville where he can cool down until his trial.
Claudia: You try it and you will find out firsthand what the zaccharas mean by retaliation.
Scott: What is he going to do, put a horse head in my bed? If I was you, I would focus on saying goodbye to your brother.
Claudia: Every time I think it can't possibly get any worse, you find a way to make it worse.
Johnny: I know. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have grabbed him like that.
Claudia: John, you think? What -- what happened? I mean, why was lulu freaking out? What was she screaming about?
Johnny: She's having a hard time getting over logan's death.
Claudia: Well --
Johnny: She sees things sometimes, all right? Visions.
Claudia: Yeah, nikolas told me about that. Yeah, but hearing about it and seeing it are two completely different things. Obviously, she's not faking. I'm a believer.
Johnny: Thank you for actually acknowledging that.
Claudia: Right, but the question is why. Why, johnny? Why is she so haunted, huh? What really happened the night that logan died?
Lainey: Lulu, we're not going to pressure you. If you want to talk about what happened, great. If you don't feel like it, that's fine, too.
Lucky: Lulu, if dr. Winters is going to help, she should know. Do you want me to tell her?
Lucky: Jason morgan thought it was a good idea -- thought it was a good idea to tell a member of your staff that he was her brother and then take her down to the pcpd.
Lainey: To see johnny.
Lucky: Yeah. Well, she was in the interrogation room with him and then she just started screaming. I'm not sure what set her off. I wasn't in the room, but I did hear her say that, "you're dead, stop torturing me." It was like she was seeing logan again. I just think it might be a good idea if you can just talk to her about what happened the night logan died.
[ Microwave beeping ]
Lainey: I understand you want to help your sister, but lulu needs to find her own way in her own time. There's no need to hurry. Lulu can talk about the night of logan's death when she's ready.
Lulu: There is nothing to talk about. Logan showed up at crimson. He wanted me back. I turned him away. He left and he was killed, and it's not johnny's fault, no matter what you believe.
Lucky: Lulu, I don't want to upset you. I'm just -- I'm just trying to help.
Lulu: Well, if you really mean that, you wouldn't have taken me away from johnny. I told you that I wanted to stay.
Lucky: Lulu, I was just afraid.
Lulu: No, just stop touching me! Leave me alone.
Lainey: Why don't I walk you out. Lulu, get some rest. Ll check on you later.
Lucky: She's getting worse, isn't she?
Lainey: I'm afraid so.
Johnny: You know what happened.
Johnny: I killed logan. And right afterwards, lulu walked in and saw him laying dead on the floor, knife sticking out of his belly. It's no wonder she hasn't been able to shake that image.
Claudia: Well, hey, you know, a dead guy with a knife sticking out of his belly -- that's a hard image to shake, but it's not enough to make you go crazy.
Johnny: Not you, claudia. Maybe not me. We grew up with violence our whole lives. It surrounded us. Lulu's different. She --
Claudia: You just -- you always have an excuse for her, always, john.
Trevor: What the hell is happening in here? All of a sudden, baldwin is emergency petitioning to have you transferred to pentonville?
Claudia: Hey, you know what? You better get it fixed. You better take care of it, trev.
Trevor: Well, I don't think i can.
Claudia: Well, then we need a better lawyer. How do I call ric?
Alexis: That was cryptic. Is there something that you want to tell me?
Jerry: Yes, sam, please enlighten us.
Sam: Oh, I'm -- I'm sorry. I just can't wrap my head around you voluntarily spending time with this man. Look, I was just in the neighborhood, and I wanted to talk. I guess I'll catch up with you later.
Alexis: Oh, sam, sam, don't -- go. Did I miss something?
Jerry: Such as?
Alexis: Is there something going on between you and sam?
Jerry: No, not really. Your daughter doesn't trust me, which I don't blame her for. I mean, I haven't given her reason to. I just have to resign myself to the fact that, you know, some relationships will always be denied to me. I can live with that as long as other desirable doors are left open.
Alexis: As lovely as this is, you have to go, and I have work to do.
Jerry: Oh, come on. I mean, consider me a restorative nap, right? Come on.
Alexis: Seriously, you have to go.
Jerry: Seriously?
Alexis: Seriously.
Jerry: All right, darling, if you insist. Do you want me to leave the food?
Alexis: Mm-hmm, I would appreciate that, thank you.
Jerry: Ok, well, I can't guarantee you I won't be back. Bye.
Alexis: Mmm.
Sonny: You all right?
Kate: Oh. Sorry, I just -- sometimes it hits me how much i miss my grandmother.
Sonny: Yeah, yeah, I know the feeling. What about the -- olivia and the broken mirror?
Kate: Nothing, it just -- it just explains how superstitious I am. That's all. You'll have to understand, olivia and I were just little girls. Adults were all-knowing. When nonna walked in and saw that broken mirror, she shrieked. She made us count every single shard of glass. There were 28 of them. We had to tie 28 bows of white ribbon around every mirror in the house. I just -- I haven't thought about that in a long time.
Sonny: Have you been in touch with olivia?
Kate: No.
Sonny: No?
Kate: No, I don't think I've talked to her since I was junior editor of "couture." I think that was the last time i went home. Well, there was that time you took me back.
Sonny: But you guys were great friends as kids, and --
Kate: No, not really. Actually, we were -- we were pretty competitive.
Sonny: Oh.
Kate: Olivia was a rebel, and i was the good girl. She thought that I didn't know how to live, said that I never would, said that I was humorless, said that I would never, ever catch a man.
Kate: I could -- I could go on. It really doesn't matter. If she could see me right now, I am about to marry the wildest, handsomest guy in the neighborhood. Volume's a little sexy.
Spinelli: You may notify stone cold of my battle with destiny, but please don't worry, my sweet granny.
Maxie: Does something hurt?
Spinelli: The jackal notices pain only to laugh in its face.
Maxie: Ok, I'm going to get you a doctor, a real one, ok?
Spinelli: No, no, no, no, please don't leave. The life-saving ones will return soon enough to poke and prod me, but please stay with me.
Maxie: Ok, don't -- don't worry, spinelli. Wild horses couldn't drag me away. It really scared me earlier when you were lying in that alley, pale and still. Not to be morbid, but people i love have this nasty habit of dying, and I just don't think i could take it if it happened to you.
Spinelli: Well, there's no need for a furrowed brow. The jackal won't leave this earthly plain as long as his fair maximista still resides here, too.
Maxie: You're so sweet.
Elizabeth: So as far as I can tell, dr. Hunter's doing an excellent job with spinelli. Why all the questions?
Matt: Come with me. I got mr. Spinelli's test results.
Maxie: What are you doing back here?
Matt: Mr. Spinelli, your spleen has ruptured. It'll have to come out. I need your consent to operate.
Nadine: Don't do it, spinelli.
Trevor: Richard can't help your defense because he's not here, and if he were, he would muck up the process anyway. So, like it or not, you are stuck with me.
Claudia: I don't like it. You are not the one who figured out how to get my father released. Ric is, right? Ric is the former district attorney who happens to wield considerable power over the current district attorney by virtue of the fact that they have a child together, so ric in charge of my brother's defense -- hmm, that works for me.
Johnny: My sister's got a point. You want to really help, trev? Give old ricky a call.
Trevor: [Laughing] Are you two living in a bubble? Richard doesn't give a damn about you or your defense, and you know why? He knew that you were in trouble, and what did he do? He gathered up little molly, and he split the light fantastic out of town on a father-daughter vacation, and he hasn't been heard from since, huh? And you can't even reach him in his cell phone, so I am going to defend you by myself.
Lulu: Mom, I'm really scared. It's just happening so much quicker now, and seeing logan every day, sometimes more than once a day, I just -- I can't help myself. I start screaming, and then there are times that I feel like I'm not going to stop. I feel like whatever is grounding me in the real world is stretched tight like a rubber band all the way to its limit. It would just be so easy, so quick, to snap it all the way, and then where would I be? Would I be where you are right now? Am I going to be in a hell of my own making?
Lulu: God. I wish you were here. I wish I just had somebody who could understand.
Kate: You're not going to stay?
Sonny: I'd love to, but, you know -- no offense -- I'm starving. You never have good food in the house.
Kate: Well, maybe I'm changing.
Sonny: Yeah?
Kate: Maybe my new life as a newly engaged woman is releasing my inner domestic goddess.
Sonny: Well, yeah, as far as the goddess, I believe that, but all the other stuff, I don't know, you know?
Kate: I'm going to make you eat those smug words, along with the delicious snack I'm about to prepare with my own two hands.
Sonny: Oh, please, you're kidding me.
Kate: Oh, no, you sit tight. You prepare to be impressed.
Sonny: Oh, ok. I am impressed.
Kate: Don't --
Sonny: You are in charge.
Sonny: Yeah, could I have bensonhurst, gloria cerullo?
Sonny: Hi, mrs. Cerullo. It's sonny. Michael corinthos, yeah. How you doing? Listen, how you been? And how's lois? Some things never change. That's kind of the reason I'm calling. Listen, I need to ask you a big favor.
Nadine: Let me page dr. Drake. Either one, or dr. Behar or anyone else on staff tonight, because spleen removal is a very common procedure. You don't need a specialist. In fact, any one of us nurses could probably do it, so just pick an option, any option, just not dr. Hunter.
Matt: Nurse crowell, really, that is more than enough. Come over here, please, for a second. Your paranoia has stepped over the line. Don't you dare ever question my professionalism in front of a patient. Now, despite nurse crowell's opinion, I'm a highly qualified surgeon, certainly the best that's wandering the halls here tonight. Dr. Drake is off duty, and behar is on a cruise, so I am the best shot that you've got.
Maxie: Well, what would happen if we waited until patrick was back?
Matt: No, mr. Spinelli needs this operation now, unless you feel lucky enough to risk serious complications.
Maxie: Elizabeth, I obviously don't trust this guy, and i don't know these other nurses very well. I know you and I have had issues, but you're an honorable person, and you wouldn't lie about a patient. Is he right? Would it hurt spinelli if we wait?
Elizabeth: He's bleeding internally and in a lot of pain. You'll be putting him at risk if you wait. And if it helps, I've seen him in the O.R, and he's a pretty good surgeon. You know, we should do the procedure now.
Matt: Ok, so, this is ridiculous. I'm going to scrub.
Maxie: Oh, well, spinelli didn't give you his consent yet. Spinelli, what do you want to do?
Spinelli: Well, the jackal's cognitive skills are a bit blurred due to, well, being hit by a car, but he trusts fair maximista to make the right choice. My life is happily resting in your lovely hands.
Alexis: Well, what do we have here?
Claudia: I can explain.
Alexis: No need. It's clearly breaking and entering and evidence tampering, and I'm going to love every minute of having you arrested for it.
Lulu: I saw johnny today. And, for a split second, while i was holding his hand and I was listening to him tell me that everything was going to be ok, I believed him. For one beautiful moment, I could see it -- our future, being happy. And then logan came. He wants me to pay, and he's not going to stop until I lose my mind. He's going to get what he always wants. He's going to win.
Laura: Lulu, it's going to be all right.
Laura: Mama's here.

From TV Megasite
Karpov: If you'll excuse me, I'm here to register a complaint.
Carly: Mr. Karpov.
Karpov: Andrei.
Carly: Andrei, is there a problem with your table?
Karpov: Yes, I'm alone. There's no vodka sent from a kind friend, no sweet messages, and I so hope your intentions were sincere.
Carly: They are, definitely. Just, uh, things have been a little hectic lately.
Karpov: Has your husband become an obstacle?
Jax: I'm jasper jacks. My wife carly and I own the hotel. And you are?
Alexis: Here's your choice -- you let go of my wrist. Very good, thank you. Now I won't have to add assault of a public official to the laundry list of charges that i have against you.
Claudia: Go ahead, really. You'll make yourself look just as petty and paranoid as scott baldwin.
Alexis: Why don't you leave the spin for your lawyers. That's my best advice.
[Claudia chuckles]
Nikolas: What's going on?
Alexis: I'll be right with you.
Claudia: Your aunt is going to have me arrested for standing in her office.
Nikolas: Well, that would be a mistake.
Alexis: No, nikolas, it won't be a mistake because she was caught behind my desk rifling through my papers.
Claudia: I was standing in her office. I was looking around. If you want to try to turn that into evidence tampering, go ahead, really.
Alexis: I will. I'm also going to add obstruction of justice.
Nikolas: Excuse me. With all due respect here, given the array of criminal behavior you're willing to overlook with jerry jacks, don't you think it's a little extreme to prosecute her for standing behind your desk?
Anthony: Are they treating you all right?
[Anthony chuckles]
Anthony: I'm your father. I deserve an answer.
Johnny: About what you'd expect.
Anthony: I understand lulu put on quite a show today.
Johnny: It wasn't a show. She's in bad shape.
Anthony: Good, because the crazier she is, the easier it's going to be to get you out of this mess.
Lulu: Mom?
Laura: Yes, honey. I'm here.
Lulu: No, no, no, no, no. How can you be here?
Laura: I am. It's ok. Whatever's wrong, we're going to make it right.
Lulu: I can't believe this. I can't -- the doctors said you that you were not coming back, but I still had hope. I've just -- oh, mom, I missed you so much.
Laura: I know. I know, sweetheart.
Lulu: I'm going -- I'm going to tell the doctors, ok?
Laura: They know. They were here when I -- when i woke up.
Lulu: How did this happen? What -- are you on new medication or something?
Laura: They don't -- they don't tell me very much, but if I fade out, then don't be scared. It's to be expected.
Lulu: How did this happen? And what about lucky and nikolas? Why -- why wouldn't they tell me? What -- what about dad?
Laura: I asked them not to. I don't want to disappoint you if I relapse.
Lulu: Did the doctors say that's what's going to happen?
Laura: I don't know. Honey, what -- what matters is that I'm here. I'm here now. So tell me, what's got you so upset?
Lulu: I'm not visiting. I'm a patient. I think that I'm going crazy like you.
Johnny: You aren't going to use lulu to get me out of this. I don't want her involved.
Anthony: Then you shouldn't have dragged her out of here with a gun to her head. And you sure as hell shouldn't have gotten caught when you dumped her in the loony bin.
Johnny: Lulu is in shadybrook to get well. I don't want her in that courtroom and I definitely don't want her on that witness stand. I thought we agreed on this.
Anthony: We do, up to a point. There's no sense in wasting my money and the court's time unless we make sure that lulu is a mess in front of the jury. They have to believe she's a whack job or --
Johnny: You were the whack job when we growing up, remember? You saw things that weren't there. You were too damn paranoid to even leave the house. And you hurt the people that you said you loved the most, especially my mother.
Anthony: I'm well now.
Johnny: Well, you can understand where she is. I think that maybe you could have some compassion for her.
Anthony: My only concern here is for you, john. And the best shot we have, since you and your sister destroyed all the evidence, is to prove self-defense. So we're going to convince the jury that lulu was crazy enough to keep you and logan fighting all the time. Then she finally provoked logan into coming after you --
Johnny: That isn't what happened.
Anthony: I don't care what happened. I only care about getting you out of here. And if that means putting lulu on the stand and -- and pushing her buttons until she flips out, that's what we're going to do.
Johnny: Leave her alone.
Anthony: You need to reconsider who you're ordering around, son, because maybe I'm just a crazy old man in a wheel chair to you, but right now I'm the only person with any power that's actually on your side.
Nikolas: Is anything missing?
Alexis: I don't know, nikolas. You ought to give me a minute and I'll let you know.
Nikolas: Alexis, is it -- is it remotely possible that you want to have her arrested simply because you don't like her?
Alexis: I don't believe this.
Nikolas: What?
Alexis: This woman was behind my desk, rummaging through my files and -- and how am I the villain?
Nikolas: Scott -- scott baldwin is trying to railroad her brother. He's -- she's probably desperate to protect him.
Alexis: Since when are you such good friends with claudia and john zacchara?
Nikolas: I believe that claudia would do anything to protect her brother, yes. And, I don't know, I guess i respect that. As far as john and lulu go, i wish they'd never met, but lulu appears to be completely in love with john, whether I like it or not. I happen to know for a fact that john sacrificed his freedom to get lulu some help. That alone should give both john and claudia the benefit of the doubt. And I'm asking you to do the same.
Alexis: This is your lucky day. Because I love my nephew and as a favor to him, and against my better judgment, you're free to go.
Claudia: Thank you.
Carly: Jax, this is andrei karpov. He's a guest here at the hotel.
Jax: Nice to meet you, mr. Karpov. Are you enjoying your stay?
Karpov: Very much. Every detail is charming.
Jax: How long has he been staying here?
Carly: A few weeks now.
Jax: Hmm, andrei karpov.
Carly: You heard of him?
Jax: The only andrei karpov I've heard of is a russian gangster.
Carly: That's him. That's the same person.
Jax: Do I want to know how you know that?
Carly: Karpov is getting established here in port charles so I made it a point to introduce myself on the chance that I could get information to pass along to jason.
Jax: But yes, of course, you would. And you don't see how I would have a problem with that.
Spinelli: There's bound to be a report of the hit and run filed with the constabulary. And if -- and if your father, the top cop, realizes that i subjected you to a stake-out and we were almost --
Maxie: Conserve your energy, spinelli. You're about to go through surgery, or not, depending on what you decide.
Spinelli: The choice resides with maximista.
Maxie: Why do you want me to make the decision?
Spinelli: My cognitive skills are -- are compromised with -- due to my pain, and I sense conflict within -- in this staff, but I can't fully assess the situation and -- oh!
Maxie: Oh, god, spinelli.
Spinelli: Look, I -- I trust you.
Elizabeth: He's clear on all the pre-op workup.
Matt: Ok, I need you to scrub in and find out if nurse johnson's available.
Elizabeth: Yes, doctor.
Nadine: Wait a second. The patient hasn't agreed to surgery or to you as the surgeon.
Matt: The patient's spleen resembles a watermelon dropped from a second-floor window onto the sidewalk. Any questions?
Nadine: This doctor can't be trusted.
Matt: Watch it, nurse crowell.
Maxie: You know, you're starting to upset spinelli. His pain, I think, is getting worse.
Nadine: I'm going to page dr. Drake.
Maxie: Just hold on, spinelli. Ok, just do the surgery. Just do the surgery.
Matt: Mr. Spinelli? Get him prepped, we're going to the O.R.
Maxie: Please, god, for once in my life, let this be the right decision.
Sam: Hey.
Lucky: I got your message. I'm just glad you're back.
Sam: Yeah, I just -- I wanted to see you for a second and change clothes because I'm running a shipment tonight.
Lucky: Hey, why are you acting like you didn't even get shot? Why don't you just -- why don't you just give yourself some time to heal? Karpov, he trusts you and he'll be running more shipments.
Sam: Yeah, but jerry jacks might not be running any more shipments. I know he's involved in this, lucky. I can feel it. I caught him meeting with karpov tonight down by the pier.
Lucky: Did you hear what they were saying?
Sam: No, I couldn't understand a word that they were saying. But I figure if I do this shipment tonight, I can gather enough evidence and prove that he's involved and I can prove to my mother that the man she's sleeping with can't be trusted.
Lucky: Ok, you are losing perspective. Jerry jacks is not the focus of our investigation, drug dealers are. And if you were too worried about jerry and your mother, the real perps might get away.
Maxie: Don't worry. I will be waiting right here for you when you wake up.
Spinelli: Ok, contact stone cold and let him know that an unknown evil-doer attempted to run us both down in an unidentified dark vehicle.
Maxie: I will tell him you saved me. I'll tell the whole world you're a hero, but not until I know that you're ok. And you will be, because you have to be. I mean, who else could put up with me? I can't lose anyone else, spinelli. You have to be ok.
Spinelli: Should I wander into the void --
Maxie: Just tell georgie to send you back. She'll know how much I need you. Promise?
Spinelli: I will.
Maxie: Promise me.
Spinelli: I promise. But just in case, should i wander into the void --
Maxie: Don't say that you're not going to come back. Just forget about the void. I've had plenty of serious heart operations. I know how this works. And don't get all cosmic when they tell you to start counting backwards. Just think about all the fun things you're going to get to do when this all over, ok? Think -- think about the most amazing day of your life or -- or someone that you love more than anything in the whole world, someone that you want to live for.
Spinelli: I shall.
Epiphany: It's time to go.
Carly: I know how dangerous karpov is.
Jax: Then why would you chat him up?
Carly: I told you, to help jason. And I could've lied to you, but that would ruin the whole trust thing.
Jax: I appreciate you telling me the truth, carly, but why would you get mixed up with a russian gangster in the first place?
Carly: Because sonny made a deal with karpov and he cut out jason. And I'm worried about jason.
Jax: I thought sonny left the mob for kate.
Carly: Well, I guess he lied. Shocker. Anyway, I need a distraction because you won't come home no matter how much I beg you to.
Jax: Oh, so what, this is my fault? Is this what you're saying?
Carly: No, I love you and I'm 100% committed to you, but you're the one who walked out and you won't come home so you don't get to object to anything I do while you're gone.
Jax: Where are you going?
Carly: I don't know if you've heard, but my cousin, lulu, is in shadybrook, all right? I'm going to visit her if that's ok with you, because I know how lonely and terrifying that place is.
Lulu: I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to say that you're crazy.
[Laura laughs]
Laura: That's ok. You've always said exactly what was on your mind, ever since you could talk. I like that about you. Don't feel like you have to sugar-coat anything for me, hmm?
Lulu: Ok. Promise me the same. Just don't talk to me like the visitors do. They're too quiet and too careful, like they're afraid they'll shatter me into a million pieces if they say the wrong word.
Laura: It gets old, doesn't it?
Lulu: Yeah.
Laura: Everybody telling you what to do for your own good. Oh, don't you just want to smack them?
Lulu: You sound like dad. He is just -- he's going to be so happy.
Laura: No, no. Honey, let's keep this just between us for now, all right?
Lulu: Ok.
Laura: There's no sense in putting him through all of that if it's just -- it's just temporary, you know?
Lulu: Yeah, you're right.
Laura: You're going to get through this. I know you will. I can still see the courage shining in your eyes.
Lulu: That's what you said to me last time before you left.
Laura: Do people tell you that you're like me? Honey, honey, you're not. You're stronger.
Lulu: I disagree.
Laura: Every generation gets a little bit better. That's how it works.
Lulu: You're -- you're getting a little tired.
Laura: Oh, I don't want you to see me. I -- I just need to rest a little bit. Don't worry. I'll be here when you get back. Thanks, dad.
Matt: There it is, ladies and gentlemen, the overlooked, the under-appreciated spleen. Unlike the heart, once damaged, it cannot be repaired, so mr. Spinelli will have to live without it. Scalpel.
Nadine: Did you check the liver? There might be a hematoma on the liver capsule.
Matt: I will check all the organs in the exploratory phase. Clamp.
Nadine: Make sure you tie off that artery securely so he doesn't have internal bleeding post-op.
Epiphany: Take care of your own work, nurse crowell.
Matt: Retractor. Nurse?
Nadine: Are you sure you didn't rupture the diaphragm?
Matt: Get out of my O.R.
Epiphany: Nurse crowell.
Nadine: You're going to explore the bowels, right?
Epiphany: Nurse crowell, leave this O.R. And consider yourself on report. Now!
Matt: Go.
Matt: Clamp.
[Lulu chuckles]
Lulu: Oh, it's open.
Carly: Hey.
Lulu: Hi.
Carly: Hi. Well, how you doing?
Lulu: I'm so much better than i was.
Carly: Oh, you don't have to lie to me and say that. I've been here. I know. But I'm sure some stuff in this bag will cheer you up. I bought you a few hoodies.
Lulu: Oh, my gosh. They are so cute.
Carly: Yeah, and I threw in some belgian chocolate and even a satin pillowcase for you.
Lulu: Wow, that is so wonderful. You did not have to do that.
Carly: Well, thanks for liking it. You know what? I have a few different colors in here and some tabloids.
Lulu: Oh, you did not.
Carly: Yeah, well, you know, it's nice to know that the rich and famous, you know, are as messed up as we are, if not more.
Lulu: Oh, this is great. You did not have to do this.
Carly: Wow, you seem to be handling this place awful well.
Lulu: Well, yeah. I mean, it was awful for a while, but things changed.
Carly: What things?
Lulu: I found a reason to hope.
Johnny: Have you seen lulu? Is she ok?
[Nikolas sighs]
Nikolas: John, lucky believes that lulu may be headed for a complete breakdown.
Johnny: I know. He blames me.
Nikolas: Yes, he does. He thinks that sending you to jail is the only thing that'll save lulu. But I happen to disagree with him and here's why. Lulu's in love with you and she blames herself for everything that happened to logan and she'll blame herself for whatever happens to you as well. So it's in her best interest for me to help you. And that's what I'll do, but you need to tell me what you need.
Johnny: Lulu needs to stay off the stand, no matter what happens.
Nikolas: Why does she need to stay off the stand?
Johnny: She'll fall apart. She won't even know what she's saying.
Nikolas: Well, what are you afraid that she'll say? What does she know about logan's death that we don't? Ah, the first day of school.
Nikolas: Does lulu know something that can be used against you in court?
Johnny: It's not what lulu knows, it's her state of mind. My father wants my lawyers to break her down on the stand. He wants them to convince the jury that she's crazy and she made the hostility between me and logan so bad that he finally came after me.
Nikolas: And then you had to defend yourself.
Johnny: That's right.
Nikolas: Well, given what's at stake here for you, you might want to listen to your father.
Johnny: You know, if this is some test to see if I'll throw your sister under the bus to save my own ass, you're wasting your time. All I care about is lulu. She needs to get well no matter what happens to me. And if she ends up in that courtroom or on that witness stand, she'll be gone forever, to all of us.
Aug 26, 2008 07:41
Carly: I know what it's like to be here, you know. You have to listen to your doctors, take your meds, no questions asked, do what you're told.
Carly: But you need to be honest, lulu, especially with yourself.
Lulu: I guess you heard what happened at the pcpd.
Carly: I heard bits and pieces.
Lulu: I talked jason into saying that he was my brother and signing me out for a visit. I mean, I needed to see johnny, be with him for even a few minutes. And I was and it was wonderful. And then I saw, um, logan. I'd -- I've been seeing him. That's why I'm here. It's, uh -- I see him a lot.
Carly: And that's pretty terrifying, isn't it?
Lulu: Yeah, it is. I was very scared but I'm -- I'm, uh, I'm feeling better now.
Carly: Why do you think that is?
Lulu: I don't know. Lucky brought me back. I had my session with lainey and talked to some people.
Carly: What people?
Lulu: Other patients. It really helps. I know I'm going to get through this. I am a lot stronger than i thought I was.
Carly: That's great.
Lulu: I mean, I am, I'm scared, you know, and I'm scared about johnny, but the best thing that I can do is to focus on getting well. The sooner, the better.
Carly: I mean -- I know i shouldn't be so surprised that you're doing so well because you're strong and you're tough and you're resilient, but if you need someone to talk to, I want you to know you can trust me. I'm not going to judge you. And I promise you I won't tell anybody what you tell me.
Lulu: You really are the best.
Jerry: It's always a pleasure to be summoned by my little brother, but I promise no lectures about the state of your marriage, although you'd be a fool to let carly go. Why are you so grim? I mean, we're not going to get into another fist fight, are we?
Jax: What do you know about a russian gangster by the name of andrei karpov?
Jerry: My, my, my, so serious.
Jax: Come on, jerry.
Jerry: Why do you need to know?
Jax: Well, first of all, he's staying at my hotel, but you already knew that.
Jerry: What, do you want him to leave?
Jax: Would it be that easy?
Jerry: All right, what's the problem?
Jax: Well, carly's been, uh, flirting with him trying to get information for jason.
Jerry: Stop her immediately. Carly shouldn't speak to the man. Tell her not to be alone with him under any circumstances.
Jax: Any particular reason?
Jerry: The man is a sadist. Keep carly away from him. Women who cross karpov end up dead.
Alexis: I'm in a bad mood. Enter at your own risk.
Jerry: Oh, I take it your day hasn't improved.
Alexis: No, it hasn'T. It's gotten worse.
Jerry: Oh, come on, you can't work forever. I took the liberty of taking our picnic to my hotel where room service of any variety awaits.
Alexis: I can't, sorry, I can'T. I'm too busy.
Jerry: Uh, something happened.
Alexis: Has it? You tell me. Have you gotten into any kind of trouble that you're trying to charm me into looking the other way?
Jerry: Look, look, I know it's a common suspicion that my interest in you, you know, is for my own protection, but i thought we were past that so i don't understand why you're trying to avoid me.
Alexis: I'm not trying to avoid you. Jerry, I'm busy. I'm the D.A. I have a murder trial pending. I have a special prosecutor that's out of control, a mayor who's driving me insane. Every time I turn around, I'm tripping over one of the zaccharas. I'm worried about my nephew. I'm worried about lulu. Oh, yeah, and I have grave concerns about the safety of my children. Avoiding you isn't even something that I can think of at the moment.
Jerry: Look, look, I appreciate the strain you're under. I'm well aware of the forces you're working against, but, you know, I would -- I would be honored if you would accept that my presence, however scandalous, does protect you in a hostile environment. I mean, all the monsters are not under your bed these days, darling.
Alexis: That's because one of them is in it.
Jerry: I see. Ok.
Alexis: God, I'm so -- I didn't mean to say that. I really didn'T.
Jerry: No, no, no, that's fine. Get some sleep. I'll -- I'll check in tomorrow.
Sam: Yeah, I'm just, uh -- oh, I'm so glad you understand. I don't want to bring another shipment in if I'm off my game a little bit. No, it's healing. It's healing. I think it'll be fine in a day or two. Ok, bye-bye.
Lucky: Thanks. I really needed you tonight.
Sam: You know, I used to get so worried when my brother was in the hospital. And it's scary and frustrating, but I think lulu's going to be ok. She knows you love her. She's probably fast asleep right now.
Lucky: May angels on the wings of night, watch over you till morning light.
Sam: What?
Lucky: My mom used to say that to me and my sister when we were falling asleep. I don't even know why I thought of it.
Sam: Oh, I think it's because you love them both so much.
Matt: The surgery was a success. Everything went very well.
Maxie: Epiphany, how did the surgery really go?
Matt: Oh, yes, by all means, get a second opinion, especially from a nurse. After all, I'm only the surgeon who saved the man's life, but what do I know?
Epiphany: Matthew hunter is one of the most annoying and arrogant residents I have seen in a long time, but he is still a doctornd therefore, deserves our respect. Your constant badgering in the O.R. Was a major problem. So from now on, you will give him the respect he deserves, as will my entire staff. Do I make myself perfectly clear?
Epiphany: As for his surgery, dr. Hunter did a fine job. Mr. Spinelli should be up and about and into his usual antics in no time.
Maxie: Good. I'm glad that you were there.
Epiphany: Just doing my job.
Maxie: Is it ok if I see him?
Epiphany: He's resting, but be brief.
Nadine: You know, epiphany's pretty upset with me, but i would have felt ten kinds of awful if the surgery had gone wrong because of me.
Leyla: I'm not sure I could have forgiven you, either.
Spinelli: Ah, my fondest of dreams.
Maxie: You're not dreaming, and you're not dead. I'm definitely not angel material.
Spinelli: The jackal begs to differ.
Maxie: Please, just sleep, spinelli, ok? I'll be here.
Carly: Hi. I got here as soon as I could. I couldn't just walk out on lulu.
Jax: I checked out andrei karpov. I spoke with jerry. And get this, my brother actually went pale when i mentioned that you were flirting with him. He said that the man is dangerous, especially toward women.
Carly: I know that. Jason already told me.
Jax: Oh.
Carly: One woman flew off a building somehow, and the other woman died of mysterious circumstances.
Jax: Well, that's just great that you already know that, then that's wonderful. Why do you always go running to the most dangerous situation that you can possibly find? And don't say it's because i walked out.
Carly: Can you please not do this?
Jax: And just because I can't figure out a way to stay in this marriage, doesn't mean that I'm going to watch you risk your life, carly. I mean, did you even think about morgan or me?
Carly: Can we please not have this fight, right now? Please?
Ric: What the hell?
Claudia: Get dressed. Claire: And I thought corporate clients were demanding.
Claudia: He's going to take a rain check.
Ric: No, no, no, no, he's not. Get -- get the hell out of here.
Claudia: Johnny got caught. He's in lockup and scott baldwin is threatening to send him to pentonville, so --
Ric: Yeah, trevor can handle it.
Claudia: We had a deal. Do you remember? Hmm? You get johnny acquitted, and you can have whatever you want from me.
Elizabeth: His fever's spiking.
Matt: We'll get him on ampicillin for the fever and, uh, check his vitals every 15.
Maxie: 15, why every 15? Spinelli needs rest to recuperate.
Matt: Oh, yeah, that's fine. Let's just let his fever go up, and he can go into convulsions and then die.
Maxie: Listen to me, you selfish jerk, if something happens to my friend and I can trace it back to you, you're life as you know it will be over.
Jerry: Sam.
Lucky: Ignore him.
Sam: No, I can'T.
Sam: I'll be right there. Hold on. Maybe I can make him tell me something incriminating.
Lucky: No, no, it's a bad idea.
Sam: Come on, lucky, you can hide over there. We're supposed to be broken up. Let's go.
Jerry: Don't expect me to stand out here all night.
Jerry: When did you become so concerned about your mother's sex life?
Sam: Oh, it's late, go away.
Jerry: Now, you see, things were going quite well between alexis and I, and now I sense this change.
Sam: Do you? Well, maybe my mother's finally starting to see you for who you really are.
Jerry: You see, it was very rude of you to interrupt our little picnic.
Sam: Well, you are the worst thing that ever happened to my mother, and I wish you would just leave her alone.
Jerry: Oh, so you can have me for yourself?
Sam: What are you talking about?
Jerry: That would be a really interesting turn of events.
Sam: Oh, my mother is too good for you.
Jerry: And you're not? We recognized each other from the very start, didn't we?
Sam: Oh, did we?
Jerry: Yes. You've evolved, so have I, but the core is still the same. Heroics aside, you'd stop at nothing to get what you want, and you still don't understand why people get so upset about it.
Sam: I'm not like that anymore.
Jerry: Oh, because you've gotten better at hiding it. I think that you love the dark side as much as I do.
Sam: Maybe.
Jerry: You know, we've played this dart a few times, haven't we? And now we've come so close.
Sam: Nothing is going to happen between you and I as long as you're with alexis, so maybe it's time for you to choose.
Jerry: Mm, sweet sam. Sexy sam. How far are you willing to take this?
Carly: I'll let you know when I'm available to be scolded.
Jax: Carly, hey. I love you, but I won't apologize for being worried about the dangerous choices you make.
Carly: I wish you could believe in me. You know, I wish you could be glad that I'm strong and resilient because not everyone's made that way, jax. Some people break and stay broken.
Jax: What happened?
[Carly sighs]
Jax: Hmm?
Carly: I thought that I was going to see lulu scared and sad, but she wasn'T. I mean, I -- I thought she was going to be too sedated to talk. No, she was happy. She was happy, and she was going on and on and on about hope and how everything was going to be ok. She was going to be fine. She was going to get better so she could go help johnny. It's one complete delusion.
Jax: I'm sorry.
Carly: I'm so afraid that she's going to end up like laura, trapped in her own body, just like michael. And like michael, she's going to be alone, lost, and just gone.
Ric: Well, it was fun while it lasted. Claire: Mm, very, but there will be other times.
Ric: I'm sorry. You know how clients are, especially when you're on retainer. Claire: One time I had this client track me all the way down to -- it's along story for another day. It was hilarious.
Ric: I'm looking forward to it.
Claudia: You know, I would be happy to throw in a couple of c-notes if you'll, uh, hurry it up. Claire: Oh, my god. She thinks I'm a hooker.
Ric: Uh, yeah, claire's a partner in a corporate law firm in midtown manhattan. Claire: I can't wait to tell them down at the harvard club.
Ric: No, don't you dare. That's not nice, come on. Claire: Mm, ciao.
Ric: Ok. Claire: And, um, whatever she's paying you, it isn't enough.
[Ric chuckles]
Ric: Take care. I'm allowed to have a personal life.
Claudia: Yeah, ok, well, so's my brother, and he's going to have one.
Ric: How did you track me down?
Claudia: Does it matter? I don't think it does.
Claudia: I'm going to give you what you want after you earn it, so get dressed because we have work to do.
Lulu: Mom? Mom, it's me. Ok, that's ok. You said this was going to happen, so -- I just wanted to say that I, uh, love you. Hi.
Laura: It's all right. I was just resting.
Lulu: I can leave if you want.
Laura: No, no, being with you is the best medicine I could possibly have.
Lulu: Me, too.
Laura: Mm, I'm getting stronger.
[Lulu sighs]
Laura: And that feels good.
Lulu: I'm getting stronger, too.
Laura: Good.
Lulu: We're going to get better and we're going to show them, right?
Laura: Oh, yes, yes, we will.
Lulu: I just wanted to say good night.
Laura: Aw, come here.
Laura: Do you remember when you were a little girl? I used to rock you in that big chair in the living room.
Lulu: Mm-hmm, I remember.
Laura: You would fight sleep for as long as you possibly could.
[Laura chuckles]
Laura: You were so afraid that you might miss something. But then you finally let your eyes close.
Lulu: Because you would always say the same thing.
Laura: Mm. May angels on the wings of night, watch over you until the morning light.
Laura: Good night, sweet daughter. You can rest now. Everything's going to be all right.
Lulu: Good night, mommy.

Liasonite Domenica
Maxie: Did spinelli's test results come back? Is he getting better?
Matt: Unfortunately, the infection is spreading.
Maxie: This is all your fault.
Mac: Take him to the van.
Scott: Why so sad, johnny? So you're off -- you're going to make a lot of new friends up in Pentonville.
Mac: Go on, get him out of here.
Scott: Take him, mac.
Ric: Ah, excuse me. This transfer is being cancelled.
Scott: What are you talking about, lansing?
Ric: My client's going nowhere.
Kate: Jax, it's me.
Jax: Oh, kate. This is unexpected.
Kate: Oh. I'm sorry. Did I wake you?
Jax: No, no. I've been up for a while.
Kate: Oh, that's good, because we have some important business we need to discuss.
Carly: By all means, discuss away.
Sonny: Thank you, Mrs. Cerullo. I really appreciate it. I'll keep in touch.
Diane: My, my. You're looking almost cheerful this morning.
Sonny: Well, I'm in a -- I'm in a good mood.
Diane: You're kidding.
Sonny: Uh-huh.
Diane: I'm so glad to hear it. You'll be more likely to heed my advice.
Sonny: You got revisions on the contract?
Diane: Absolutely. Right here. But first, if I may, I'd like to offer an opinion on a personal matter.
Sonny: Yeah, stick to business. I appreciate it, though.
Diane: Ok, so, I'm passing by Kate's office and I'm dropping off the prenup, and my eyes just happen to land on the wedding invitations all ready to be mailed out. Very stylish design, by the way. I'm assuming Kate picked it out.
Sonny: What's your point?
Diane: My eyes just happened to light on this one, which I confiscated.
Sonny: Mr. And Mrs. Jasper Jacks. Diane: It's bad manners, sonny, to invite your ex-wife to your wedding, especially when you're still having sex with her.
Matt: I need to examine the patient, so if you could just step out into the hall --
Maxie: I'm not going anywhere. But you are. I want another doctor.
Matt: I don't have time for one of your tantrums.
Maxie: Look, I trusted you to do this surgery. You said you could, and then you botched it. Spinelli's getting worse. I'm not going to let you touch him again.
Matt: The surgery was textbook. The infection is from other causes.
Maxie: What other causes?
Matt: I intend to find out.
Maxie: That is so lame.
Matt: Maxie, we don't have the time.
Maxie: No, you're covering your butt, pretending like you don't know what's going on with spinelli so that you don't get blamed. I bet you left a scalpel inside of him or something. But, Spinelli is my friend, and if you have hurt him, I'm going to make sure you pay.
Matt: If you don't get out and let me examine my patient, I'm going to have security throw you out.
Spinelli: Um, wait. No, the Jackal objects.
Maxie: Spinelli, you're awake.
Anna: The raisin scones are amazing.
Patrick: Ah, you should try the cranberry -- they're great.
Anna: Oh, yeah? Those are my favorite, you know.
Patrick: Yeah, robin told me.
Anna: I'd love to think that you were doing this out of the kindness of your heart, but --
Patrick: Well, that's part of it.
Anna: Maybe a little manipulation in there, too?
Patrick: Did I win you to my side yet?
Anna: See, this is the problem. There shouldn't be sides in a marriage proposal.
Patrick: I agree with you. But we're talking about Robin here. You offer love and commitment, she writes the end of the story where you die and disappear and she's alone.
Anna: Yes, because that's what happened to her, isn't it? Robert and I -- you know, we were supposedly dead.
Patrick: She listens to you. You guys have a great relationship. She respects your opinion.
[Anna sighs]
Anna: I don't know. She's so stubborn. I don't know where she got that from. Patrick: I love robin, complexities and all. And I really need you to convince her that I'm ready to commit to her.
Robin: Patrick, open up. Come on, this is absurd.
Patrick: Hey, you're just in time for breakfast.
Robin: Really? You're having my mother over for scones? Now you're just fighting dirty.
Anna: Yes, but it's delicious.
Robin: I'm sure. Well, it's not going to work. I still don't think we should get married.
Ric: That is a court order cancelling prisoner transfer. John zacchara is to remain here at the port charles jail until his trial.
Scott: What did you do, bribe the judge, Lansing?
Ric: Mr. Baldwin, my client is entitled to a vigorous defense.
Scott: Who would that be? You? You're a lackey for the mob.
Claudia: You know what? You're a jackass.
Mac: Take him back to his cell.
Ric: Could you make that interrogation room one, please, Mac? I need to speak with my client.
Claudia: Hey, things are going to be different now, ok?
Ric is in charge.
Scott: You can call in all the favors. You can find yourself any lawyer you want. You could even sleep with the judge for all I care, but there is no way that your brother is going free.
Claudia: You are actually trying to get revenge on an innocent person. John is innocent.
Scott: I have got enough evidence to send him away for the rest of his miserable, stinking, murderous life.
Claudia: Good. You know, I hear that you left logan's mama before he was even born. Logan was a psycho thanks to his deadbeat dad's disappearing act, huh?
Scott: You're right. I wasn't there for him when he was a kid. But his killer is going to pay.
Diane: You, Carly, back of a limousine. Sound familiar?
Sonny: I stay out of your private life, Diane. I'd appreciate it if you stayed out of mine.
Diane: Number one, you do not stay out of my private life. Number two, in this particular instance, Kate is a personal friend, so I feel some sort --
Sonny: You're not going to tell Kate that I slept with Carly. Who told you? Max, right?
Diane: No.
Sonny: I'm going to kill him.
Diane: No. Carly told me.
Sonny: Why?
Diane: When carly thought she might be pregnant, she wanted to know her legal options.
Sonny: She shouldn't have told you, Diane.
Diane: Be that as it may, you now need to give some serious thought to your intentions vis-a-vis Kate.
Sonny: Sleeping with carly had nothing to do with Kate.
Diane: You were dating Kate at the time.
Sonny: I thought we were over on that particular night.
Diane: Oh. How convenient.
Sonny: It was -- it was practically an accident.
Diane: Well, of course it was, Sonny. Whoops, we're naked. What happens next? Anyone remember?
Sonny: Diane, turn around, please. Just listen to this. Carly and I are done.
Diane: Until you rebound with her three months after the wedding.
Sonny: That's not going to happen.
Diane: From what I've been able to gather, that has been your pattern with Carly for years.
Sonny: I'm not in love with Carly. I'm in love with Kate. I'm not going to cheat on Kate with Carly or anyone else. Are we clear?
Diane: Me thinks thou doth protest too much. But assuming that you mean it, please, please, Sonny, show your commitment to kate by not inviting Carly to your nuptials.
Carly: Don't worry about me. I wouldn't dream of interfering.
Kate: Why don't you stop by the office when you're free?
Jax: Well, actually, have a seat. I'm glad you stopped by.
Kate: All right. Well, first off, you'll be pleased to know that "Crimson's" initial sales are way ahead of projection.
Carly: Would you like some coffee?
Kate: No, thank you, Carly.
Carly: There you go.
Jax: Thank you very much.
Kate: So I want to keep up the momentum, Jax, by having some eye-popping covers for the holidays. I'm in discussions with Gwyneth and Natalie's people for December and January.
Jax: Sounds great.
Kate: Yes. But it will put us a little over budget.
Jax: How much over budget?
Kate: Actually, I have some figures here for you. There you go.
Jax: Here we go.
Kate: Could you possibly do that somewhere else, like, say, the bathroom?
Carly: Oh, I'm sorry. Am I distracting you?
Kate: Not me.
Jax: No, you're not disturbing us. These numbers are a little high.
Kate: Yes, but I think they're worth it, Jax.
Jax: When do we have to let them know?
Kate: Giselle is chomping at the bit to get natalie for December, but the agent has given me until noon today.
Jax: Ok. Well, I -- I trust your -- your instincts, so go ahead.
Kate: Great. Thank you, Jax. So, on that note, I'm going to go to the office and I'm going to make some calls.
Jax: Well, actually, there is one more thing that I want to discuss. How you lied to me to make Carly look bad.
Robin: You can stop wasting your money on this stuff. We are not getting married.
Anna: Could you just hear him out? Just for a second?
Robin: Please do not tell me that you can be bought for a plate of scones.
Anna: No, course not.
Patrick: I'm going to get some so you can -- when you leave.
Anna: Ok, thank you. Look, his reasons for wanting to marry you are genuine, Robin.
Robin: I'm sure he thinks they are. Why are you taking his side?
Anna: I'm not taking his side. There shouldn't be sides in a marriage proposal. You know what? Three's a crowd. I'm going to leave. You two sort this out. Can I -- can I take this other --
Patrick: Yeah, yeah.
Anna: Because they're really good -- the blueberry ones are fantastic. Oh, great. Thank you so much. All right. Enjoy, and I'll see you later. Bye. Good luck. Bye. I love you.
Robin: Bye. I love you, too.
Anna: You're crazy.
Robin: I'm not crazy, I'm right.
Anna: Oh.
[Robin sighs]
Patrick: So do we have room for discussion here?
Robin: No room. I'm over the marriage talk. Raisin?
Patrick: Yeah, you should try the cranberry ones. Look, the thing is, Robin, we spend so much time together already. Do you need some juice?
Robin: Yes, please.
Patrick: And we get along, right?
Robin: Mm-hmm. So why ruin it by making it official? Hey, do you want to try that new Thai place tonight, like 7:00?
Patrick: I've got a hospital thing. How's eight?
Robin: Eight's good. Can we just stop talking about marriage? Really, it stresses me out.
Patrick: Yeah, but that stress can magically disappear if you just give in and say yes.
Robin: My dad. It's all about my dad. My dad is going through chemo. And my mother doesn't even know that he's in Port Charles.
Patrick: That's your dad's decision.
Robin: I know, but how sick do I have to let him get before i tell my mother what's going on?
Patrick: That's -- that's your dad's illness. That's his decision.
Robin: Yeah, but you know why he doesn't want her to know, right? He doesn't want my mother to see him weak.
Patrick: Or maybe he just can't admit that he needs her.
Robin: Thank you for the insight. Look, it's pretty obvious that it's in the genes that we have to go through things alone. Which, come to think of it, is probably why their marriage didn't work, which is exactly why our marriage won't work. End of discussion.
Ric: All right. Now, I need to know everything that happened the night that logan hayes was murdered.
Johnny: I've already given my statement.
Ric: Yes, to the police and to the D.A. I am your attorney. You are charged with murdering Logan Hayes, so therefore, I need to know if you did it. John, I am highly motivated to get you acquitted. But I can't make that happen unless you tell me the truth.
Scott: Lansing just trotted in here with a court order. You get it overturned.
Claudia: She's not getting anything overturned.
Alexis: Hey, hey --
Claudia: Forget it.
Alexis: You need to settle down. Nikolas isn't here to intercede for you.
Claudia: Well, I just want justice for my brother.
Scott: Well, you know what? You took the words right out of my mouth.
Claudia: I am not going to let you railroad John for a crime he did not commit.
Alexis: Your brother will get a fair trial. A jury will decide whether he's guilty or not.
Scott: Alexis, you need to be a little more convincing in the courtroom.
Ric: Oh, Alexis is showing good judgment. She knows the case is weak. Matter of fact, if she wants to save herself the time and trouble, I think she should just drop the charges right now.
Lucky: I'm really glad you considered, you know, not doing that job with Karpov last night.
Sam: Well, I am, too. And, you know, it -- ooh, it worked out in more ways than one. I'll tell you that.
Lucky: What do you mean by "more ways"?
Sam: Well, it gave jerry a chance to come by and gave me a chance to work on him.
Lucky: Yeah, well, I don't think jerry bought into your whole sudden turn-around.
Sam: Ok, maybe not. But he could have been just a teeny suspicious. I think he'll get past it, probably.
Lucky: And you think this because?
Sam: Because jerry jacks has the world's biggest ego. He -- he likes to think that women think that he's irresistable. And I feel like I'm just probably playing into his arrogance, and I'm working him.
Lucky: Yeah, well, I don't like the sound of that.
Sam: Are you serious? You can't possibly be jealous of Jerry Jacks.
Mike: Sonny. Hey, look, I'm sorry to bother you, but --
Sonny: You're not bothering me.
Mike: I need a little help in the gift department.
Sonny: What kind of help you need, Mike?
Mike: Well, you know, I want to give something meaningful to you and Kate for your wedding, but, I mean, what do you give the couple who has everything?
Sonny: How about faith that our marriage will last?
Mike: Are you asking my opinion of Kate? I mean, if you are, I think -- I think she's terrific. She is so good for you.
Mike: I mean, she's someone you can love and respect. She's strong in her own right, she's -- she's accomplished in her career. Plus, she values family, including me, and that pretty much makes me her number one fan right now.
Sonny: Doesn't sound like you're saying that because you're my father. You really believe that our marriage can last forever, right?
Mike: What is this doubt I'm hearing?
Sonny: No, no, I have no doubt. Diane was over here giving me one of her lectures about, you know, carly going to the wedding, and that I can't resist her.
Mike: Harsh words.
Sonny: Yeah, yeah. But when I say she's wrong, she tells me I'm protesting too much.
Mike: Are you?
Sonny: Why is it so difficult to believe, Kate being who she is, that I love her and want to spend the rest of my life with her?
Mike: Well, that's simple, sonny. Because you've never been able to stay away from carly before.
Jax: I have the phone records from the "Crimson" office for the day in question. No calls were made to our home. Once I had confirmation of this disturbing discrepancy, I called Roger Canfield personally. He told me that the meeting was set up at the last minute.
Kate: I don't know what you want me to say.
Jax: You deliberately set Carly up to undermine my marriage.
Kate: As you recall, Carly tried to get Claudia Zacchara to buy out your portion --
Jax: You can skip the justifications, Kate. It's a waste of time, really.
Kate: I made a choice to neutralize Carly. It was wrong. I regret it.
Jax: I expect my business partners and employees to conduct business with ethics and integrity. Right now, you don't meet those standards.
Kate: I have never been accused of unethical behavior, Jax.
Jax: Well, "Crimson's" just launched. We both intend to see it succeed, at which point I may or may not sell. In the meantime, I suggest you back up all your meetings with paperwork.
Kate: I can assure you, nothing of this nature will ever happen again.
Jax: If you lie to me again, i will replace you with someone more trustworthy to run "Crimson." Do I make myself clear?
Kate: Yeah, you make yourself clear, Jax. Why don't we put this unfortunate incident behind us and for the good of the magazine, keep this disagreement private?
Jax: Yes. I think that would be best.
[Door closes]
Carly: Do you know how much I love you?
Jax: Mm-hmm. Really?
Sonny: Why would I want to go back to Carly?
Mike: Ok, look -- I know your intentions are good.
Mike: All right? But it was Carly, not Kate, who nursed you through your breakdowns. It was Carly, not Kate, who's seen you at your worst and stood by you, just like you've stood by carly at her worst. And that creates a bond.
Sonny: But Mike, there's a bond between two people who've been married for years. There's a lot of that. But you know what? People move on.
Mike: Yeah, that's true. But you have always gotten back together with Carly even when you swore it wouldn't happen.
Sonny: That was all before Kate. Mike: You've never been with Carly since you met Kate. Never even tempted? Look -- I'm not prying. I'm just saying, you and Carly are both very volatile people. A crisis happens, and maybe you end up back in each other's arms again.
Sonny: I thought you were one of Kate's biggest supporters.
Mike: I am. I'm just playing devil's advocate here.
Mike: And you are absolutely sure you and carly will never be together again.
Sonny: After Michael got shot, she treated me very bad. And I'm not going to forget that. Kate was right there for me. Her and I are getting married. I'm going to be faithful, period.
Ric: I plan on making a case for the trial that the special prosecutor's actions were prejudicial. There were certain discrepancies in the investigation that showed that other suspects were not properly considered.
Alexis: None of those points can be substantiated.
Scott: You know, you can bore the court all you want, lansing, but your client proved his guilt when he ran away.
Ric: Oh, well, I can make a case about that, too. That he bolted because of your abuse of power.
Scott: You are fishing with an un-baited hook.
Ric: You know, I want to thank you, Baldwin, because you well could be the reason that john goes free.
Scott: John will never see the light of day again.
Claudia: You're good, you know that?
Ric: Actually, yes, I do.
Claudia: Good. I like your confidence. Can I see my brother now?
Ric: Sure.
Claudia: The cavalry has arrived.
Johnny: Ric Lansing? The guy's a snake.
Claudia: He's a snake who's motivated to get you out of here. And that's exactly what he's going to do, John.
Alexis: Not that I want to agree with Scott Baldwin on anything, but--
Ric: Then don't, because we both know that he's biased.
Alexis: Regardless of his personal motives, he is right about this. Your client is guilty.
Ric: I can drive a truck through the prosecution's case.
Alexis: Stop staying that.
Ric: Why?
Alexis: Because you can't. The fact is is that I have sympathy for your client, which is why I'm willing to offer you a deal.
Anna: Ah. Hi.
Mac: Hi.
Anna: Excuse me, sorry. Thank god you're here. Ok, you have to help Robin.
Mac: Is it the baby?
Anna: No, no. The baby's fine. Robin's future -- I don't know. That's another whole thing. I want you to talk to her. You have to convince her to marry Patrick.
Maxie: That stupid antibiotic isn't working. Your fever is still really high.
Spinelli: But perhaps the medicine hasn't coursed through the jackal's veins for a sufficient amount of time.
Maxie: It's been awhile. It should have kicked in by now.
Nadine: Hey. How you feeling, Spinelli?
Maxie: Terrible, thanks to Dr. Hunter. I mean, you were worried he would ruin the surgery, and of course, he did.
Nadine: Well, I don't trust dr. Hunter, but he did everything right while I was there. And when I left, Elizabeth and Epiphany were keeping an eye on him.
Maxie: I don't care. I want another doctor. When patrick gets here, will you ask him to take a look at Spinelli?
Aug 27, 2008 05:30
Spinelli: The Jackal's recuperative powers appear to be substandard, a far cry from the strong and manly impression he wishes to project.
Maxie: Oh, forget strong and manly, I like you just the way you are.
Spinelli: Dubious thanks for the backhanded compliment.
Maxie: Come on, Spinelli, you know what I mean. You're sick, you can't help that. And I don't want you pretending that you feel better when you obviously feel lousy. I'm just worried about you, that's all.
Patrick: Hey, I understand you've had some complications following the surgery.
Maxie: His fever's really high.
Spinelli: The Jackal's body does indeed radiate a most unpleasant heat.
Patrick: Yeah, 103 is high.
Nadine: It was 102 an hour ago.
Maxie: Do you think you could examine him? I think maybe matt hunter made a mistake during surgery.
Matt: Why did you take my patient's chart?
Patrick: I was called in for a second opinion.
Matt: Not by me.
Maxie: I called him in.
Matt: And that wasn't your place.
Maxie: I'm not just going to sit around while my friend's life is at risk.
Patrick: May I speak to you in the hall, please?
Matt: Yeah.
Patrick: Thank you.
Matt: What the hell do you think you're doing?
Patrick: Damage control.
Matt: Well, thank you for the condescension, but I can care for my own patients.
Patrick: I know the surgery was too complex for you to handle.
Matt: There was no one here to do it and his spleen needed to come out or he was going to have serious problems.
Patrick: In case you missed it, his fever is 103.
Matt: Yeah, and we're dealing with it.
Patrick: How?
Matt: I ordered a new antibiotic. The one I prescribed obviously was counterfeit. I'm having it tested because no one else did.
Patrick: Surprise, surprise. Blaming your incompetence on bad meds.
Johnny: How much have you told Ric?
Claudia: He knows you killed Logan.
Johnny: Claudia --
Claudia: Hey, I didn't tell him. Daddy told him. What do you think?
Johnny: I do not want Ric knowing a thing.
Claudia: He's brilliant lawyer, Johnny. Brilliant. And he's going to focus all of his time and all of his attention on getting you released. You need to trust him.
Johnny: I thought you despised Ric. Now all of a sudden, you have a new found faith in him? Claudia: Let's just say we had a meeting of the minds.
Ric: We're not interested in any deal. I'm going for an outright acquittal.
Alexis: Now, you see, that's your ego speaking. You got to check out the facts.
Ric: The only fact I'm seeing is that you don't want to face me in court.
Alexis: That's it, you got me. Why waste the taxpayers' money?
Ric: Yeah, you're right. After all, it's just a man's freedom that's at stake, right?
Alexis: Voluntary manslaughter, three years.
Ric: Anthony zacchara has far too many enemies. His son goes into prison, he's not going to last a week. No deal.
Mac: As far as I'm concerned, no man is good enough for Robin. Certainly not Patrick. But if they want to get married, who am I to stop them?
Anna: She does want to marry him. She does. She just needs a little shove.
Mac: Well, fine, go ahead. Shove away. I'm staying out of it.
Anna: No. You can get through to her.
Mac: Annie, you're her mother. Robin loves you.
Anna: Yeah, I know. But, honestly, all the people that she's ever loved have either died or disappeared. Robert and me. But you have always been here for her. You helped raise her, you supported her. Honestly, you're the only one that can give her the courage to believe in her future.
Robin: Today is one of those days where work is my refuge.
Elizabeth: You look stressed out.
Robin: Really? What gave me away, the twitch in my eye?
Elizabeth: Come on, sit down, breathe. Baby scorpio-drake needs a calm mother.
Robin: Could you pass that tidbit on to Patrick, please? Because nothing stresses me out more than having to tell him over and over again that I will not marry him.
Elizabeth: And why is that, exactly?
Robin: Oh, come on, really? You, too? I mean, I thought that you would understand. You have a great relationship with the father of your children that you're not married to.
Elizabeth: But we were married. It just didn't work out.
Robin: Well, it wouldn't work out with me and Patrick either.
Elizabeth: How do you really know?
Robin: I know because marriage isn't something you just try out. It's not like a new kitchen appliance that you take back because you decide you don't like it. It's something you have to be certain of from the beginning, that it's for keeps. And even then it doesn't work out. So, if you're not totally committed from the very beginning, it is a disaster waiting to happen.
Elizabeth: You and Patrick love each other, right?
Robin: Yes, of course we do. We've already been through this.
Elizabeth: Robin, it's your choice. And obviously you and Patrick are in it for the long haul. So, if you -- God, if you are blessed enough to have a chance to make a commitment, a lifetime commitment to the man you love, my advice is to grab it and never let go.
Carly: Thank you so much for believing me.
Jax: You know, it was difficult for me to believe that Kate would jeopardize the magazine by not telling me about an important meeting. You, on the other hand, said clarice never called you, so --
Carly: I gave you reason to doubt me.
Jax: Yeah, but when you defended yourself, you were so sincere, and it got me thinking. Believe me, I was very relieved when I got proof that kate lied, not you.
Carly: I love you so much.
Jax: You know, Kate was merely the catalyst for our separation, Carly. We still have a lot of things --
Carly: I don't care about the rest -- no, no, I'm just so happy that you -- you know i didn't lie.
Jax: I'm sorry I put you through all that.
Carly: I don't care.
[Knock at door]
Carly: Better not be her.
Jerry: Hello, brother. Carly.
Jax: Hey, come in.
Jerry: Very glad you're both here. We need to discuss Andrei Karpov.
Kelly: I saw Robin coming in. She looked pretty stressed out.
Elizabeth: She is.
Lainey: Is she all right?
Elizabeth: She's fine, better than she realizes.
Epiphany: Don't tell me she and Drake Jr. Are arguing again.
Elizabeth: They're doing fine. That's the problem.
Kelly: Shh. [Whispering] Here she comes.
Robin: What's going on?
Kelly: Hmm? What do you mean?
Robin: What do you mean? You're all acting weird, so if this is about the proposal --
Patrick: No, no. Actually, it's about Dr. Hunter. He botched Spinelli's surgery and he's in trouble. I'm taking over the case.
Robin: Oh, uh, what are his symptoms?
Patrick: His fever is spiking, B.P. Is dropping, slight nausea. Can you take a look at this? I'll be back in 10.
Robin: Sure.
Robin: Ok, you're doing it again.
Epiphany: We were just noticing what a cute little couple you and Drake Jr. make.
Robin: You can't be serious.
Lainey: My clinical diagnosis is love and devotion.
Kelly: Robin, you're not fooling anyone. You're crazy about patrick and you want to marry him. So marry him.
Lucky: Jerry jacks is a dangerous person. He's not somebody you should try to scam.
Sam: I didn't pick him for the fun of it. Ever since I've been piloting shipments for karpov, jerry jacks has been there and it's not a coincidence.
Lucky: Ok, then I'll inform the pcpd and let them investigate.
Sam: They don't have the inside track, Lucky. I do.
Lucky: Sam, jerry jacks was Mr. Craig. He held you hostage at the metro court and you barely escaped. This is not somebody you want to try to play games with.
Sam: Ok, fine, what if Jerry and Karpov are the head of this counterfeit drug ring? It all fits together. Jerry is the key.
Carly: Jax already warned me about Andrei Karpov. I'm going to stay away from the man.
Jerry: Well, you've been known to say one thing to Jax and do something entirely different.
Carly: Ok, look, you told Jax that the man's a psycho. I don't know how you got your information, but I'm going to trust you and take your word for it. I'm out of it, ok?
Jerry: Good, because the man is especially brutal to women.
Carly: I got it.
Jerry: You see, my brother loves you very much. I'd be sorry to see anything happen to you. Bye, brother.
Jax: Thanks.
Jax: You know Jerry's fearless, right? And it concerns me to see him worry this much.
Carly: I told you that I was going to stay away from Andrei Karpov. I'm not lying. I'm telling you the truth.
Jax: Ok, ok, I believe you. I believe you. There.
Carly: Do you know what we're becoming?
Jax: What?
Carly: A textbook case of a happy, healthy marriage. J
ax: No, I think that might be pushing it a bit.
Carly: No, no, no. Because we love each other, we have great sex, and now we can really communicate.
Jax: Something we haven't always done in the past.
Carly: I'm not talking about the past. I'm talking about right now.
Jax: We still have --
Carly: No, we're honest with --
Jax: Some issues, ok?
Carly: It doesn't matter. It doesn't, because now we're honest with each other.
Jax: Ok. No more lies or secrets.
Carly: No.
Kate: Sonny?
Kate: We need to talk -- about Carly.
Sonny: What did she do now?
Kate: Well, in point of fact, it's something that I did. Carly tried to get Claudia Zacchara to buy out Jax's portion of "Crimson," and I retaliated by making it look as if she had lied to Jax.
Sonny: You framed Carly?
Sonny: That's not right. You shouldn't have done that.
Kate: It's the least of what she deserves.
Sonny: Carly is like a bull in front of a red flag. You know that. Why do what she does and cross her? She's gong to want payback for the rest of our lives. Do you want that?
Kate: No -- well, she got her payback. She got it in spades. Jax uncovered the truth, he gave me a dressing down in front of carly. He threatened to have me fired from "Crimson" if I ever lied to him again. And Carly was loving every minute of it.
Sonny: Carly was right there the whole time? Ok, well, it's over.
Kate: It's over?
Sonny: Yeah.
Kate: Are you kidding me? She's going to look for the next opportunity to set me up.
Sonny: I don't think she's going to do -- just -- you've got to let that go.
Kate: Sonny, she is a vindictive child. She will not rest until I'm fired from "Crimson."
Sonny: So -- but right now she thinks she's got the advantage, right? Why manipulate jax so she can sit back and wait for you to make another mistake?
Kate: I really, really loathe how well you understand her.
Sonny: I'm just making an observation. The best thing for you to do right now is you let it go.
Kate: I disagree. I think I need to do damage control with Jax. And I think our wedding is the perfect opportunity. I run a landscaping company.
Patrick: These antibiotics would be effective in cases like Spinelli's, right?
Robin: Yes, they tend to work quickly, but it varies depending on the case.
Patrick: Ok, well, I think we should try them. I think we should test them first, though.
Robin: Yeah, to see if they're counterfeit.
Patrick: Yeah.
Epiphany: I'll take care of it, doctors.
Robin: Thank you.
Patrick: See, we work well together.
Robin: Don't start.
Patrick: It's a simple observation.
Lainey: This is classic avoidance.
Robin: No free therapy, thank you.
Kelly: It doesn't take a therapist to see that you two are in love and belong together.
Robin: Aren't you two my girlfriends? You are not supposed to gang up on me.
Kelly: Oh, we can if it's for a good cause.
Lainey: For example, your future happiness.
Robin: Liz, don't even think about chiming in.
Elizabeth: I already said my piece.
Patrick: And I take it she's on my side?
Robin: No, because there's no sides in a marriage proposal.
Kelly: If you say yes, you get to keep that fabulous ring he offered you.
Elizabeth: We could have a combo baby-bridal shower.
Lainey: Why not look past your fear and go for what you want?
Robin: Yes, finally, Uncle Mac. Someone to side with me. Would you please tell all these people what a disaster it would be for Patrick and I to get married?
Robin: Well?
Mac: Well, I don't know. I'm not so sure about that.
Claudia: Promise me that you are going to cooperate with Ric, please.
Johnny: As long as he swears that he'll block any attempt by the D.A. to put Lulu on the stand.
Claudia: I'll see what I do, ok?
Alexis: You owe your client due diligence. You need to go in there and offer him a deal.
Claudia: What offer? What -- what deal?
Alexis: Never mind. I'm not -- I'm absolutely serious.
Ric: It's off.
Scott: The deal is off the table because you're out and I'm in.
Ric: What? You're -- that's insane. You're the father of the deceased.
Scott: Tell it to the judge, Ric. Trial starts on Monday. I'll have a conviction by the end of the week.
Carly: When did you start believing me about Kate?
Jax: On my business trip. Once I had a little distance, i realized that the lie you supposedly told didn't really make sense. You didn't gain anything. Once I realized it was a setup, it was just a matter of proving it.
Carly: I'm so glad you believe me.
Jax: You know, I hate to spoil the mood right now, but I think we should make an appearance at Sonny and Kate's wedding just to let everybody know that everything's ok with Crimson management.
Carly: You know what? I wouldn't miss Sonny and Kate's wedding for anything in the world.
Jax: Really? I thought you'd put up a fight.
Carly: No, I can't wait to see the two of them get married. They deserve each other.
Jax: Then you're not upset that your ex-husband is marrying such an incredible woman who you look up to so much, who you strive to be like --
Carly: That's really funny.
Jax: Yeah?
Carly: No, because I'll be sitting next to you, knowing that kate is signed on for a life of misery, and I -- I get the happily ever after.
Jax: Yes, you do.
Sonny: What does our wedding have to do with framing Carly?
Kate: Well, jax and I agreed to put on a good face for the magazine, which means Jax and Carly will be invited to the wedding.
Sonny: That's a bad idea.
Kate: Oh, no, I think it's a great idea. Carly is insanely possessive of you. She won't be able to stop herself from acting out and Jax will finally see the truth about her.
Sonny: Our wedding is not supposed to be about manipulation and games. It's supposed to be about us.
Kate: And it will be about us.
Sonny: It will be, right.
Kate: It will. I will be a lot happier knowing that my career has no threat, and the truth is, I would like to see carly's face when we say our vows.
Sonny: It doesn't work for me. I don't want carly anywhere near the wedding.
Kate: Oh, Sonny.
Sonny: Because it's just going to build -- she'll find a way to blow everything apart.
Kate: How could she possibly blow everything apart? What could she possibly do?
Aug 28, 2008 04:47
Kate: Oh, I love it.
Clarice: Maha outdid herself.
Kate: Mm-hmm, it's clean, yet sophisticated. Still has a romantic flair.
Clarice: Carly's head is going to explode when she sees you walking down the aisle in that gown.
Kate: You're a naughty girl. I can't wait for sonny to see me in it.
Sonny: Is that the dress?
Kate: Oh, my god. Don't look! No, I can't have anymore bad fate. No.
Carly: Mr. Bale and his entourage are taking over the entire 10th floor, so I don't need to tell you --
Marty: Discretion?
Carly: Yeah, thanks.
Marty: Ok.
Jax: Hey.
Carly: Hey, there.
Jax: Why don't you go back up to my room, get some sleep for a few hours. I'll cover for you.
Carly: I'm fine. I'm more than fine.
Jax: No, no, no, you got up at four this morning so you could be home in time for Morgan.
Carly: I'm not tired at all. In fact, we could go back upstairs.
Jax: Who's we?
Karpov: Mr. Jax, how unfair of you, kissing your lovely wife in public this way. It could get other men jealous.
Maxie: How are you feeling?
Spinelli: Oh, I had the strangest dreams. Full of portent. Has there been any word about Stone Cold?
Maxie: Oh, will you stop worrying about Jason? He hasn't exactly called to check up on you.
Spinelli: Oh, there can only be one explanation for why stone cold hasn't called.
Maxie: Yeah, he's running a mob organization.
Spinelli: No, he must be in the most dire of situations. I have --
Maxie: What -- what are you doing?
Spinelli: No, I have to find him.
Maxie: No, Spinelli, calm down, ok? Look, if you just stay here and do everything the doctors tell you, I'll find Jason for you, all right? No matter what it takes.
Monica: Lulu, hi.
Edward: My -- my dear girl, shouldn't you be in your room?
Lulu: I'm not confined to my room.
Monica: No, of course you're not confined.
Edward: No, well, what I meant was that --
Alice: You're looking good, Lulu, real good.
Lulu: Thank you, I -- I am feeling a lot better. It's so nice that you guys wanted to come by. This just is not a good time for me.
Edward: You need to know that Tracy's determined to get your father back here and help you through this.
Lulu: I just -- I don't think that that would be such a --
Kate: Take it out. Take it out of this room, Clarice. I can't tempt fate.
Clarice: I'll lay the dress out in the guest room, and then I'll set up that call with Scarlett's publicist.
Sonny: That's not going to be necessary, because Kate's taking the next couple of days off.
Kate: I am?
Sonny: Yeah, and hold the -- hold the calls, all of them.
Sonny: What do you mean, no?
Kate: No, this is the worst possible time. I have a launch for a magazine. I have a wedding to plan.
Sonny: Shh. You are completely stressed out. I don't want to get to that altar and just be another item on the tight schedule. We are getting married, and i want you to enjoy this time.
Kate: Well, I am.
Sonny: Ok. Kate: Well, I am, as much as I can.
Sonny: All right. So --
Kate: No, I have too much to do. Clarice, don't you dare.
Clarice: Speaking as a recovering control freak, sometimes you just have to throw the schedule out the window and go for it.
Sonny: Give that lady a raise, please.
Kate: Stop it.
Sonny: Ok, here's what I want you to do. I want you to pack your bags, ok, and all you need is a bathing suit, because I'm taking you to Aruba. Unless you think that taking my fiancee to an island that starts with the letter "a" is bad luck.
Kate: Oh, I am not that superstitious.
Sonny: Well, Tommy Garafolo -- remember when he shot at that sparrow with a slingshot and you said that he would be cursed for the rest of his life because a sparrow carries the souls of the deceased to the afterlife?
Kate: Excuse me, but if you heard my nona tell me these stories growing up, you'd feel the exact same way.
Sonny: Oh, I would -- I would lock the doors and shut everything, and I would never go outside.
Kate: You got blood on a wedding dress. That --
Sonny: It was a reception dress.
Kate: Oh, yeah, right, and now you're laughing at it, right? You mook.
Sonny: Mook? Wow, I've never -- you haven't called me that in a long time.
Kate: Oh, my god. What is wrong with me? Oh, god, I'm like a teenager or something. My stomach is full of butterflies, and my head is just full of --
Sonny: Hopes and dreams? Remember when we were kids, right, and we had the future just all stretched out in front of us, uncharted territory? We got a chance right now to do it, and that's why I want -- I want us to go away, all right? So we can get that feeling back.
Kate: So about this trip --
Sonny: I thought you were onboard.
Kate: Well, I'm getting onboard. But if we are going to run away together, there's really only one place I want to go.
Sonny: Where?
Kate: Your island.
Jax: Well, I find myself very fortunate to have a lovely wife who enjoys kissing me in public.
Karpov: In my country, men are careful not to flaunt their good fortune for fear it may be taken away from them.
Jax: Oh, well, this isn't your first time doing business outside of Russia, right? Unicorp, monarch, Deutsche-Suisse?
Karpov: You've done your homework.
Jax: Well, it so happens that i own a large stake in those three companies, too. Part of my international holdings. I'm sure we both understand how important it is to diversify.
Karpov: Yes, clearly, we share the same taste in many things.
Jax: And how important it is to delineate what can be shared and what can't.
Karpov: Oh, I prefer to be flexible. After all, things can change quickly.
Jax: Yes, and in ways you didn't see coming.
Karpov: Indeed. Mrs. Jax, always a pleasure.
Carly: I wish you hadn't done that.
Jax: Why? That's good for him to see that I'm not intimidated by him.
Carly: I hope you're right.
Claudia: Hi.
Ric: You're going to have to visit your brother another time. He and I have a lot of work to do to prepare for his case.
Claudia: Johnny doesn't trust you. I'm here to make sure he cooperates.
Ric: Yeah?
Claudia: Mm-hmm.
Ric: Well, you don't trust me either.
Claudia: Yeah, but --
Ric: Well, you know, I have much better incentives than just that to get your brother acquitted. I mean, afteall, if I do come through here, I could write my own ticket. Maybe anthony will finally realize that he doesn't need two Lansing attorneys.
Claudia: You'd do your own father in, wouldn't you?
Ric: Something tells me that you wouldn't mind if I kicked trevor to the curb, or down a flight of stairs, for that matter.
Claudia: It's not really a secret. Trevor and I -- well, I don't trust him.
Ric: Yeah, it goes way beyond mistrust. I think you would like to do trevor in, but it'd be a hell of a lot easier to have somebody else do the dirty work for you. Make him pay for whatever makes you look at him with all that loathing in your eyes.
Claudia: What can I say? Familiarity breeds contempt.
Ric: Yeah? Maybe something else, too.
Claudia: What?
Ric: I don't know, fear.
Claudia: Hey, I'm not afraid of that son of a bitch. You think you know a lot about me, don't you?
Ric: Well, I'm a pragmatist, just like you.
Claudia: Yeah, but see, I would never let a man do all the dirty work for me. What fun would that be?
Ric: What do you like to do for fun, Claudia?
Claudia: Well, I'm going to show you if you get my brother acquitted.
Ric: No, no, "when." When I'm going to get your brother acquitted. And when I do, you're going to follow through with those promises that you intended to keep. All of them.
Claudia: Uh-huh, uh-huh. Yeah.
Johnny: Hey, Ric, why don't you put your libido on hold long enough to focus on my case?
Edward: Excuse me. Whatever you've been doing, it's not helping.
Nurse: Lulu's been receiving the best possible treatment.
Edward: How would you know that?
Nurse: I am part of the staff who oversees Lulu's care.
Edward: Are you a doctor?
Alice: Come on, it's a yes or no answer.
Nurse: No. Edward: Then get me someone who knows what they're talking about. Get me her doctor.
Alice: I'm sure Mr. Quartermaine means now.
Lulu: I'm sorry.
Monica: No, don't be sorry, Lulu. It was like something frightened you. What?
Lulu: I'm just very jumpy still. It was really nice that you guys wanted to come see me, but I just can't do this right now.
Monica: No, please, Lulu, talk to me.
Lulu: No, there's nothing that you can do. Please, I'm sorry. If you just leave me alone, I will be better.
Monica: Ok, ok.
Edward: Doctor, it's obvious th you have neither the knowledge nor the skills to treat Lulu's condition.
Lainey: Better for you to take out your fear and frustration on me than for lulu to hear it.
Monica: Lulu won't even talk to us. She is scared to death, and it's like she's hallucinating.
Lainey: Yes.
Monica: Yes?
Lainey: She's seeing visions of Logan Hayes.
Patrick: Put her on the intracranial monitor. Yeah, and talk to his parents. I just told them it was going to get worse before --
Robin: Ok, I know what's going on. I know everyone's talking about this proposal, but I just have to say one thing. I know that I work with all of you, and I know that you are my friends, but it's not fair for you to push me into a proposal that I don't want to accept.
Kelly: Why don't we consult for a moment?
Robin: You weren't talking about that, were you?
Kelly: No.
Robin: I am such an idiot.
Kelly: Mm, but you were right about one thing.
Robin: What's that?
Kelly: We all think you should marry Patrick.
Robin: Did he hear that?
Kelly: Yeah.
Claudia: You don't have to like Ric, because what matters is that he can help you, right?
Johnny: He's playing on your fear, offering you some magic solution to get me out of this so he can have what he wants.
[Ric laughs]
Johnny: What, you think this is funny?
Ric: Well, the idea of me or anybody playing your sister? Yeah, I think that's hysterical. You know what, John? You should be thanking Claudia for coming to me, for pushing me to defend you, for getting me to see the potential benefit. Because make no mistake, I don't like you either, but what you do for me is you help me.
Johnny: So far all I've heard -- empty promises. What do you have to back it up?
Ric: My star witness.
Johnny: And that would be?
Ric: Yeah, first thing is you two are going to tell me what you're keeping from me.
Lulu: [Crying] Oh, no, no, no. You're not here, you're not here, you're not here, you're not here.
Edward: But there must be some treatment, some other medication you can give Lulu.
Lainey: This is a state-of-the-art facility. Everything that can be done is being done.
Monica: Oh, you're not saying that this is irreversible, are you?
Lainey: Lulu is a severely traumatized young woman. There are no simple solutions for her condition.
Alice: Well, you know, Miss Tracy's looking all over for Mr. Luke to bring him back here.
Lainey: Good, I think it would be very helpful to have her father here.
Edward: God help that little girl if Luke Spencer's the best she can do.
Monica: Edward, this is not the time.
Edward: I know, I know, it's Johnny Zacchara's fault, and I should have shot the damn fool the first time he came near her.
Lainey: Mr. Quartermaine, Lulu is apparently blaming herself for the conflict between Logan and Johnny, so vilifying him will only prove more detrimental.
Edward: But you see, we just want to help.
Lainey: I know, and I promise we are doing everything we can. Excuse me.
Lainey: Hi, how are you doing?
Lulu: They just told you that they saw me freak out at nothing, right?
Lainey: Tell me what you're seeing now.
Lulu: Nothing, he's gone. I'm fine.
Sonny: Ok, here's the thing. The island is the only thing that I have left in the Caribbean that I didn't sign over to Jason. That's going to be there for a long time -- forever, actually, so why don't we go -- I just thought we'd go somewhere where it would be new to us.
Kate: As opposed to the place where you've taken all your other women. What's the matter? Afraid you might slip and call me by someone else's name?
Sonny: Why do you do this?
Kate: Why won't you take me to the island?
Sonny: Because of what you -- what you said about, you know, the other women and things.
Kate: Memorable times, I'm sure.
Sonny: No, that was -- that was different. You're -- you're separate from anything that's come before.
Kate: Ok, I believe that. I don't think I'm in any kind of competition.
Sonny: Good.
Kate: That's why I want to go there. I want to make the island ours. Worried about cholesterol?
Sonny: The whole point of going away is -- is to leave all the planning and stress behind us and get back to us.
Kate: Mm-hmm, so what is your point?
Sonny: The point is, why do you want to go some place where there's history, especially with, you know --
Kate: Carly.
Kate: Yeah, carly, that's what you were going to say. The most recent Mrs. Corinthos.
Sonny: Ok, all right, all right, all right.
Kate: Look, the whole reason i want to go down there is so that it's not a place haunted by your past, so that it's a place about us and our future together.
Sonny: Yeah, ok, well, that all sounds reasonable and everything. You know, when you say it. You know, Kate Howard. But I remember a time, when, you know, Connie Falconeri was ok with the fact that I took out her cousin Olivia, and then she wrote in the boy's stall, "Olivia puts out."
Kate: I don't know what you're talking about.
Sonny: Well, I know your handwriting.
Kate: Well, she did, didn't she?
Sonny: You see, you haven't changed. This is -- this is not about going to the island and all that. This is -- this is competition.
Kate: Ok, well, if you don't take me, then I'll just have to wonder. Maybe you think I don't measure up. Maybe I can't compete.
Sonny: That's stupid.
Kate: Prove it.
Sonny: What? Prove what? That -- that the person in front of me is brilliant and beautiful and I love her to death? She's the only woman in the world for me. I don't have to go to a private island to prove that. I can, you know -- you want me to take you, I'll take you. Whatever my fiancee wants, my fiancee gets.
Kate: Thank you.
Sonny: Is that all right? Oh, boy.
Jax: [Speaking German]
Hans: [Speaking German]
Jax: And we're going to make a lot of money together.
Hans: I very much look forward to this partnership.
Jax: Ok. Guten flug, ja?
Hans: Ja, danke schoen.
[Speaking German]
Karpov: You call me here and then make me wait?
Jax: Well, I'll get to the point. I know you're a busy man. Those three corporations i mentioned earlier, two Swiss and one Dutch, you're heavily invested in all three. You depend on them to maintain the illusion that you're a legitimate businessman.
Karpov: I am a legitimate businessman.
Jax: Well, as I mentioned before, I'm a major shareholder in those companies, and if I were to contact interpol with concerns that you were using those corporations to launder money, it could trigger a huge investigation.
Karpov: You'd lose a fortune.
Jax: You'd lose more, because both Swiss and Dutch governments would freeze all of your assets, and I'm sure you know how that goes. Or you can go quietly. Your choice.
Bernie: Is there a reason you texted me to come here, Mr. Morgan, instead of --
Maxie: Instead of where? Sounds like you know where Jason is, and I need to know now.
Bernie: Look, miss -- who are you?
Maxie: Maxie Jones. I'm Spinelli's friend.
Bernie: Right, of course. You're Maximista. He babbles about you all the time. Well, you are the police commissioner's daughter, right? You can't be in this office. Come on, I'm going to have to ask you to --
Maxie: I'm not leaving until i know where Jason is.
Diane: You are far more demanding when you text message than you -- well, clearly Jason didn't summon us.
Maxie: No, but both of you know where he is, and I need to know.
Sasha: Guess again.
Spinelli: It's you.
Sasha: Sasha Donev. We've met before.
Spinelli: How could I forget? My arms were nearly ripped out of their sockets.
Sasha: Do you also remember that I'm Andrei Karpov's lawyer?
Spinelli: I know you, slavic seductress.
Sasha: What did you call me?
Spinelli: Well, you're no angel of mercy.
Sasha: I was so sorry to hear that you had been in an accident. So terrible, but those things do happen. How fortunate that you survived.
Spinelli: Yes, and inconvenient.
Sasha: Mr. Karpov would like me to convey his concern.
Spinelli: Convey all you want.
Sasha: I think I should talk to Mr. Morgan as soon as possible.
Spinelli: Hmm, good luck with that.
Sasha: Tell me, where do I find him?
Spinelli: That's privileged information.
Sasha: Really?
Spinelli: No, a little higher. I've got an itch.
Sasha: You are a very strong man, Mr. Jackal. I admire that in a man. But you must tell me where Mr. Morgan is. It's best for you.
Spinelli: Hmm, I can't seem to recall.
Sasha: Perhaps I can jog your memory.
Spinelli: Well, that's one approach.
Laura: What's bothering you?
Lulu: I had a really rough morning. The Quartermaines, they came to visit me, and I know that they want to help, but I just -- I can't talk to them.
Laura: You can talk to me about anything. Lulu: But I have so much that I need to tell you. You remember the night that you relapsed? You said something to me before you faded away. You said that you believed you didn't kill Rick Webber, and you asked me to prove it. I did.
Laura: You have proof?
Lulu: Well, I -- I didn't do it by myself. Dillon helped me, and Spinelli, a good friend of mine. The night that Rick Webber died, you were hysterical. You thought that he was going to hurt you, so he wanted to calm you down, and he injected you with some sort of tranquilizer, and that's why you don't remember anything. You were out of it.
Laura: You mean, I didn't do it? Really, you're sure? Oh, God, thank you. Thank you. But if I didn't do it, then who did?
Lulu: Scott Baldwin.
Aug 28, 2008 04:58
Bernie: Look. You've got to understand that Mr. Morgan right now is involved in some very important business.
Maxie: I don't really care.
Diane: You are in no position to make demands.
Maxie: If you don't cough up Jason's phone number, you can kiss all those designers' samples and freebies goodbye.
Diane: I don't respond very well to blackmail. Besides, you don't decide what or who Kate gives anything to.
Maxie: As Kate's first assistant, I control all the merchandise. So I can make it so that nothing comes into the office. Or have all the samples sent to Alexis Davis.
Diane: That's low.
Bernie: No, wait a minute. I can't believe you're considering --
Diane: Shut up.
Maxie: Listen, Barney.
Bernie: It's Bernie.
Maxie: Spinelli is in the hospital. And if Jason finds out that I couldn't get a hold of him, you're going to be fired. Or worse.
Bernie: I cannot believe you're considering this.
Diane: She's absolutely right. Jason would never forgive us if something had happened to spinelli and we did not inform him.
Maxie: Jason. I don't care what you're doing. Spinelli needs your help.
Sasha: I am warning you. I don't take rejection well. And I have other, much less pleasant ways of making you talk.
Spinelli: Your plans are going to fail.
Sasha: How typical of you, Agent Jackal. Always overconfident at the wrong times. You are helpless. At my mercy. Just how I like it.
Leyla: Careful. Your next move could be your last. Relax, Agent Jackal. I'll handle this one.
Matt: Damien Spinelli is my patient.
Patrick: Was.
Matt: If you want to look over my shoulder, maybe learn something, that's fine.
Patrick: You know the kid could have died?
Robin: This announcement is for Dr. Patrick Drake and for all of you that heard him propose to me over this very public address system. And I just want you to know how honored I am. Patrick continues to show me how much he loves me, and for that, I am deeply grateful.
Laura: If Scotty had done it, he would have come forward. He never would let me think --
Lulu: This is why I didn't want to tell you.
Laura: But why would he do it?
Lulu: When Scott came to the attic, he saw you struggling with Rick. He hit him with a candlestick. And then he heard dad coming, so he climbed out the window, not wanting to deal with that, not knowing that Rick was dead.
Laura: So when your father walked in the attic --
Lulu: He saw you with a candlestick, standing over Rick.
Laura: And he thought I did it.
Lulu: I was afraid dad would kill scott, so I never told him the truth.
Laura: Oh, my God. Oh, my God, you never should have been burdened with all of this.
Lulu: Oh, mom. Mom, do you know how happy I am that I could do this for you?
Laura: Thank you. But I just -- I wish I could have dealt with it differently. I wish I could have found another way. I -- I wish I hadn't lost all this time.
Lulu: I know what it is like to be terrified by what you've done. And haunted by your guilt.
Laura: Lulu. Why do you feel guilty?
Robin: Patrick is more than the father of my child. He's my boyfriend, which all of you know. And the most gifted, brilliant, infuriating, yet wonderful man that I have ever met. And he is so patient with me. More patient than I could ever really deserve when I just continue to act like a child, running to the edge of the diving board, trying to get the courage to dive off, and then getting cold feet and running back again. Sometimes I think you know me better than I know myself, and instead of being grateful to you, I just get mad at you. And for some reason -- I don't understand it -- you still want to marry me. And I just -- I want you to know that I love you more every day. And I am not being stubborn. I'm just -- I'm being honest. I just don't -- I just don't want to be married. To you or anyone. I'm so sorry. I -- I have to say no.
Lulu: His name was Logan Hayes, and he had a huge chip on his shoulder. He was mad at the world because his dad walked out on him when -- before he was born. And he tracked him to Port Charles, and it turns out his father was Scott Baldwin.
Laura: My God.
Lulu: Yeah. Scott didn't even know that he had a son.
Laura: How did he take the news?
Lulu: Well, it was rough at first, but Scott tried to reach out to Logan. But Logan didn't want to give Scott the chance to hurt him again. It's -- it's like Logan wanted to be such a good person, but then he couldn't help himself, and he would do a messed-up thing. When I was with him, and he supposedly was so in love with me, he slept with another girl.
Laura: Oh, that must have hurt.
Lulu: Yeah. Yeah, it was bad. But it actually turned out to be the best thing, because the night that I found out that he cheated on me, I met Johnny Zacchara. And I really fell in love.
Ric: So what haven't you told me? Hmm? Any witnesses?
Johnny: It wouldn't matter. I can't tell you anything that would help.
Ric: Why don't you let me be the judge of that?
Johnny: I've told you all I'm going to.
Ric: All right. I'm not playing this game. You talk to him. Either he tells me everything he knows, or you don't stand a chance.
Claudia: Ric -- hey.
[Door slams]
Claudia: John, you need to cooperate. You need to tell Ric that Maxie and Lulu showed up right after you killed Logan.
Johnny: I don't want Lulu any more involved than she already is.
Claudia: Trying to protect Lulu is going to get her killed. It's going to get you convicted, and what's going to happen after that? What's going to happen, Johnny, is daddy is going to go after Lulu, and he's going to have her killed. And then he's probably going to come after me.
Johnny: Then find a way to have him killed first.
Kate: Oh, my God! I can't believe it's so close to the water. Oh, sonny, it's gorgeous. Oh, it's a garden. Oh, they're so peaceful.
Sonny: See, that's the reason that I originally bought this place. You know why? Because the casino is not far, but right here is our world. Total privacy.
Kate: Oh. Total?
Sonny: Yeah, the staff knows not to bother me unless I ask them to. They won't interrupt us, if you know what I mean.
Kate: Mm. You must have so many memories here.
Sonny: I don't care about that. I just care about right here. You in front of me. I'm glad you're here. This place looks good on you.
Kate: Why don't we make a memory of our own?
Jax: Hey. Thanks for meeting me.
Alexis: Oh. I'm just going to finish my paperwork. I'll be right with you, ok?
Jax: Oh, paperwork. That's actually why I'm here. It's nothing big. Just need somebody's visa revoked.
Karpov: Your husband has a bad habit of leaving you alone, hmm?
Carly: Mr. Karpov, I enjoyed meeting you and I find you to be an interesting man. But not so interesting that i would jeopardize my marriage.
Karpov: Your husband is overly possessive, or just unwise. He's making problems for me. And if he continues, I'll make much bigger problems for him.
Carly: If you just threatened my husband, you made a big mistake.
Leyla: Don't come back! Agent Jackal, are you ok?
Spinelli: Thanks to you. You are amazing.
Leyla: What?
Spinelli: What?
Leyla: Nothing.
Spinelli: Nothing. Thank you. You're great.
Lulu: When I met Johnny, I knew. And I felt different. It was so much more intense for him than any other guy, and it confused me, you know? It scared me. And I wasn't honest with myself. And I wasn't honest with Logan.
Laura: When somebody else is in love with you, and they need you so profoundly, there's no easy way to tell them that you don't feel the same way. But if you don't tell them, then you hurt yourself.
Lulu: Yeah, that's exactly what happened with me and Logan for way too long. When I finally said that it was over, Logan thought that we were some great love. That I was going to save him somehow. And when I told him that we were done, he couldn't accept it. He lost it. He went crazy. So he came after me. He was going to hurt me, then i didn't mean to -- that's why I'm in here. Because I'm afraid that I'm losing my mind. Um --
Laura: No.
Lulu: Mom, I killed Logan.
Laura: Oh, no.
Lulu: Mom, don't --
Aug 29, 2008 05:03
Spinelli: Stone cold, 'tis I, the jackal, assuring you that a crisis has been averted. You know, many people are fine living without a spleen. An unfortunate consequence of a second stakeout gone awry, involving a speeding car, a dark alley, and, well, me. Sadly, your protege didn't remove him himself from --
Jason: Hey, what happened?
Spinelli: Gracious greetings.
Jason: Maxie said you were in an accident.
Spinelli: Yeah, while, alas, the master is too late to save his grasshopper's internal organ, but you are a sight for sore eyes, nonetheless.
Jax: Hey, did you call the ins?
Alexis: I've done some more research on andrei karpov. You do not want him as an enemy, jax.
Jax: Well, I'm afraid I don't have a choice. He has his eye on carly, and i have to get him away from her.
Karpov: Last week ignorance was bliss when it came to your husband, and today you're a loving and devoted wife. Which one was the lie?
Carly: Call it a change of heart. Better to find out sooner rather than later.
Karpov: You seem so intelligent. But now you're handling this all wrong.
Lulu: It wasn't a mistake, mom. I -- I remember how it felt. It was skin and then muscle. And then all that blood. And I just remember how his face was so shocked, and I have never seen someone die before in front of me, because of me.
Laura: Honey, it was an accident. I'm sure. I'm sure it was an accident.
Sonny: You got something to say to me?
Kate: What? You think I am obsessing about all the women you brought here?
Sonny: I don't think. I know.
Kate: Oh, really.
Kate: Yeah. Actually, I was thinking about snow.
Kate: Yeah, snow. Mm-hmm. Do you remember that first winter we were together, and we had that record snowfall?
Sonny: Mm-hmm.
Kate: And all of that ice was on my dad's windshield. We couldn't get it off. We couldn't get to work. And then you showed up. Cocky and confident. You were. You got that ice off in 20 minutes.
Sonny: Yeah, and the windshield was cracked, actually shattered, and it took me till march to have to pay it off, shoveling snow.
Kate: That is correct.
Sonny: I hate -- I hate the cold. I always have.
Kate: Well, would you ever imagine that you would own your own little piece of paradise? Hmm? Seriously.
Sonny: Well --
Kate: Look at all of this. It's all yours. The sand.
Kate: The water.
Kate: The view of the horizon. All the people here work for you. It's pretty amazing to realize there's nothing you want you can't buy.
Sonny: You haven't done so bad yourself.
Kate: Well, I'm grateful. But I've never know anyone who realized their dream quite so perfectly as you.
Sonny: You weren't here for the hard part. It didn't come cheap. There was a lot of things that i wanted, a lot of things that i needed that I couldn't buy. But now, darling, I got what i wanted. And I'm not letting it go.
Claudia: Don't you dare tell me that you've given up.
Johnny: I'm just saying, claudia, if I'm convicted, you know damn well dad's going to flip out. He's going to go after lulu because he blames her. He's going to go after you because he flat out hates you. So I'm saying, law of the jungle -- protect yourself. If I'm convicted, you need to find a way to take him out first.
Anthony: Look at you two. My precious children, blood of my blood. You know that daddy-waddy always knows when the kiddie-biddies are upset. So tell popsy-wopsy what's got you so worried?
Spinelli: The jackal is gratified that maximista cared enough about his person to contact stone cold, and arrange for his master's return. Though, it is clear from your attire that you were pulled from a priority engagement. A date?
Jason: Just tell me how you were hit.
Spinelli: Maximista and I were, um -- took up that very familiar position behind the russian rogue's warehouse.
Jason: Why?
Spinelli: It was a stakeout.
Jason: Ok, why were you staking out the warehouse?
Spinelli: To expose the motives of your paramour.
Jason: She's not -- ok, you're on a stakeout. Tell me what happened.
Spinelli: Well, a shipment arrived at the warehouse as we observed, and the jackal, you know, exited the vehicle to obtain a better perspective. Brave maximista followed, and suddenly a threatening car bore down upon us. Maximista was able to dodge -- though, interestingly she claims that the jackal pushed her clear of danger. Though, truth be told, I have no recollection of such a heroic gesture. All that is verifiable is that my wounded person lay on the street.
Jason: Did you see who was driving?
Spinelli: No, I did not. But under the circumstance, i fear that your new love sasha could be involved.
Laura: Please, I want to help you. Tell me what happened.
Lulu: I was at work. I have a -- I had a job with a fashion magazine called "crimson." We work at the metro court hotel. You can see johnny's penthouse from our office. Anyway, logan showed up and made this big pitch about how he wanted to get back together with me. And I was mad. And I was embarrassed. I just wanted him to go away, so I said I was glad that he cheated on me, otherwise I would have never met johnny. I think that's what made him snap. He couldn't handle that one of the most painful times for him was actually one of the best things that could have happened to me.
Laura: I still don't hear anything that makes it your fault.
Robin: Maxie. Hey, i need a reality check.
Maxie: If you want a reality check from me, you must really be desperate.
Robin: It's about patrick's marriage proposal.
Maxie: Oh. Say yes.
Robin: Hey, i'm serious.
Maxie: Robin, look. Ok, you don't want my opinion on anything important. I'm stressed. I'm unfocused. I'm totally self-involved. You would really regret it.
Robin: Really? Then why are you here?
Maxie: To see spinelli.
Jason said he would come back from whatever illegal thing he was doing so i didn't have to worry about spinelli recovering all by myself.
Robin: Oh.
Matt: I guarantee you spinelli's reaction was because of bad meds.
Patrick: Are you mad that you botched a surgery, and i had to fix it?
Matt: No, i'm not mad. It was sugar pills.
Patrick: Ok, we're not done here.
Matt: Oh, i am. I'm off-duty.
Robin: Wait, were you going?
Maxie: I got something to take care of.
Jason: What makes you think karpov's attorney is involved in this?
Spinelli: The slavic seductress was here, right were stone cold stands. At least, to all appearances. The jackal was somewhat feverish at the time, but he is quite certain that fair leyla saved his life.
Jason: Is that true?
Leyla: I'm just here to update spinelli's chart. That's all.
Jason: Is he going to be ok?
Leyla: Spinelli is going to be amazing. He's going to have a remarkable recovery. He's very healthy.
Spinelli: Lovely leyla is too kind.
Jason: Did he have a visitor? A woman, about this tall, blonde?
Leyla: Yes, i asked her to leave. He's not up to visitors. She came back a second time, but
spinelli got agitated.
Jason: Did she say why she was visiting?
Leyla: No, that's why i asked her to leave.
Jason: Ok, thanks. I'll make sure she doesn't come back.
Leyla: Ok.
Jason: Hang in there, ok?
Spinelli: Just as i feared. Now stone code will confront the slavic seductress, and she will use her wiles to further ensnare him.
Claudia: I'm worried because my brother is on trial for murder.
Anthony: Don't let your sister take you negative. We cannot let ourselves consider the possibility of a conviction because the fallout would be unthinkable.
Johnny: Anything is possible.
Anthony: John, if you let yourself imagine a guilty verdict, a life in prison, you'll start thinking about how devastated i will be, and who i will blame. The logical progression from there is how do you stop me from going to that very dark and vengeful place? And you know that there is only one way i can be stopped, and that way, of course, is unthinkable. Do you know that shakespeare wrote entire plays about patricide? And it never has a happy ending. So the way to deal with it, don't let yourself imagine a guilty verdict.
Johnny: I would not turn on my own father, anymore than i will handle threats against claudia and lulu.
Anthony: So we agree. You'll sit there and shut up, and let me get you out of this mess by whatever means necessary.
Ric: Anthony, you can leave now.
Lulu: I went over to johnny's penthouse. He wasn't home. So while i was waiting, i walked out onto the terrace because i like the view, and i needed some air. And i looked into our office window to see if i could see maxie, and i did. And it was weird because i saw logan, too. I mean, i didn't really know what was going on at first. It seemed like they were fighting, but it seemed ridiculous, right? You know.
Laura: Fighting physically?
Lulu: Yeah. So i froze. I don't even know how long i was standing there for. It seemed like forever. And that's so stupid, right? I mean, i should have called for help that second. I mean, maybe they would have been able to stop logan before he did any more damage.
Laura: It's not stupid. Come. Sit with me please. Listen, when you were just a little baby, i was up in your room, and i was rocking you in the rocking chair and singing you a lullaby. And you were just falling asleep and foster, remember? He was curled up at my feet. It was a perfect moment. And then i heard gunfire. Inside the house. Yeah, the house was being attacked. And your father was downstairs with lucky, i don't know, somewhere. And i was upstairs with you alone and i froze. I mean, when things like this happen, something else inside us just kicks in and takes over.
Lulu: That's exactly what happened. I mean, i knew that i should have gotten help, but my heart was racing so fast, and my knees, they were like jelly. And then, logan looked up at me, and i think that shocked me back into reality. So i ran in to call for help, but my phone started ringing. It was logan calling me. I didn't know what to do. I answered it. And he said he was coming over to explain everything.
Kate: So where are you going to take me?
Sonny: Well, i thought i would show you around the compound, right? Do a little gambling, and by the time we got back, they're going to have dinner set up for us there, and we would do whatever we wanted to do after that.
Kate: This is kind of like being on a fabulous cruise.
Kate: Isn't it, right? Except that the island is the ship, and there's probably a seafood buffet, and a gorgeousice sculpture. And a stage show, where the singer toured with "the lion king."
Sonny: Oh, so are you saying that my paradise island is cheesy?
Kate: No, i'm not saying it's cheesy. I'm just saying that i have actually gambled all over the world. I was wondering what our other options might be.
Sonny: I have to pry you away from the haunted star at the roulette table, so you don't want to go gambling now?
Kate: Yeah, where they don't rig the tables at the haunted star.
Sonny: It's luke spencer. Of course they do. He wants to make an extra buck for the house.
Kate: Ok, i think that i am pretty easygoing. I do.
Kate: But my idea of fun is not -- whoopee, magically winning some jackpot.
Sonny: Well, you don't have to worry about that i'm going to be bankrolling you.
Kate: Hi. I'm not sure we've met I am kate howard. Nobody's bimbo.
Sonny: Ok, so you wont allow your fiance to give you a couple of hundred bucks so you can gamble without stress, without guilt?
Kate: All right, ok. I'm going to make a confession to you. I actually used to be a little jealous of the models. They'd come into monte carlo. They'd be on some billionaire's arm. He would put the chips down. She'd blow on them for good luck. And when they won, she'd put the winnings into her bag, jewel-encrusted clutch, she probably saw in my magazine.
Sonny: And that's bad because?
Kate: It's bad because, say what you will about me, but i have worked my entire life. I've had mentors, yes. But i'm a self-made woman, mr. Corinthos. And i think you, of all people,should appreciate that.
Sonny: Ok, kate howard. So you'd rather see a cheesy lounge singer than gamble with my money?
Kate: The only way i will gamble is if it is with my money, and you absolutely, positively, solemnly swear to not rig it.
Sonny: You know, i forget sometimes how stubborn you can be.
Kate: Well, it's my only flaw.
Sonny: Let's go.
Kate: All right.
Jax: Hey. You ok?
Carly: I seriously thought about not telling you, but since we're telling each other everything, and there are no secrets.
Jax: I'm not going like this --
carly: No.
Jax: Ok.
Carly: Karpov hit on me again, and i told him that i'm in love with my husband and to back off, but i don't know if he's going to listen.
Jax: Don't worry. I'm handling karpov.
spinelli: Oh.
Elizabeth: Hi.
Spinelli: Hi. You bring a gift?
Elizabeth: Well, truth be told, one of my patients was sent home, and asked me to give it to someone special.
Spinelli: The jackal came to mind because he makes everyone prickly, like a cactus.
Elizabeth: No, because it's interesting and unique. Just like you.
Spinelli: Well, the jackal is honored. Actually, he has something to tell you that must be treated with the utmost discretion, so if the maternal one wouldn't mind closing the door. Would it be presumptuous to acknowledge that you still hold tender feelings for the father of your progeny?
Elizabeth: Spinelli, you know i don't like discussing my feelings for jason.
Spinelli: Yes, and the jackal wouldn't ask if it wasn't dire. Look, he believes that stone cold is in great peril, and only you can save him.
Lulu: I couldn't think straight. Nothing made sense.
Laura: No, of course not. Because someone you knew became a total stranger. A man that you were involved with turned violent.
Lulu: Logan -- he was knocking on the door, and he sounded calm and reasonable. So i grabbed this heavy vase object, and i had it to defend myself so that i could get by him, and i could get out.
Laura: So you what? You opened the door?
Lulu: Logan got frustrated, i guess. Because before i could even open the door, he started breaking in with an axe.
Laura: Oh, my God.
Lulu: So i ran into the kitchen. I don't even know what i was trying to get. I saw the knife and i grabbed it. I just -- i wanted to get out. I didn't mean to kill him.
Laura: No, of course you didn't.
Lulu: I hid behind the couch. I thought he was going to go into one of the other rooms to find me, but he didn't. And he saw me, and he grabbed me, and i was trapped.
Anna: Hi, dr. Scorpio.
Robin: Mom?
Anna: Hi.
Robin: Hi. Are you sick?
Anna: No, i'm never sick.
Patrick asked me to come. I thought maybe you'd changed your mind about everything.
Robin: What? No.
Patrick: Hey, how are you?
Robin: You asked my mother to come. Obviously, you didn't hear anything that i said.
Patrick: Well, how could i miss it? You announced it over the p.A. System.
Anna: Can i have a quick word with robin?
Patrick: Of course.
Robin: Just, please, no lectures about marrying patrick.
Anna: I'm not going to give you a lecture, and i wouldn't dream of telling you what to do about this proposal. But i do want to remind you that that lovely babe magnet back there has thankfully changed his wicked ways for you. And, underneath all his bravado, he's really laid his heart on the line quite publicly. And every time you shut him down, that is such a blow to his ego and his pride. And i know we don't care about that because we're evolved women, but that's hard to bounce back from, you know?
Robin: I don't think you mean it this way, but it sounds like you're siding with him.
Anna: No, i'm not. Just maybe you could remember that he's acting out love, and just go a little easier on him if you could.
Patrick: Great news, spinelli. Your fever broke. How are you feeling?
Spinelli: Very grateful for the wise doctor's prognosis, but deeply worried about a -- well, uh, a personal issue that i'm unable to discuss.
Patrick: Well, if it has to do with your health, you can tell me.
Spinelli: Well, my health is very obviously in competent hands. It's just the fear for my dearest friend and mentor, but -- no, i'm unable to say anything further without violating confidence.
Patrick: Ok, then. Well, do you feel well enough to, um, use a computer?
Spinelli: The -- yeah, the ace's cyber-powers remain undiminished.
Patrick: Great. Well, i have a project for you, jackal, to get your mind off whatever's stressing you out, and if that's not incentive enough, you'll be helping me out at the same time.
Elizabeth: Hi. Thank you for coming.
Jason: You said it was an emergency. Is it jake? Hey, is jake ok?
Elizabeth: Yeah, he's fine. The person you should be worried about is spinelli. He's frantic that you're under the spell of someone he's calling the "slavic seductress." Anyway, he told me that you're having this torrid, self-destructive affair to -- to numb the pain of losing me and jake.
Jason: Ok, spinelli doesn't know what he's talking about it. He makes this stuff up like it's some kind of video game.
Elizabeth: Good.
Jason: Sasha is karpov's attorney. I'm not involved with her or anyone.
Elizabeth: The rational part of me knew that -- the irrational part, the part that won't stop me from wanting to be with you, was insanely jealous.
Ric: No more death threats, no more tampering with evidence and no more threatening the d.A. And her family.
Anthony: You can't stop me from helping my son.
Ric: Your help is going to land your son johnny in prison for life. It's about time that you accept that you are powerless in this situation. Your greatest contribution would be to shut up and stay out of this. And, for the record, if any harmshould come to your daughter claudia or to lulu spencer, i will personally see to it that you are thrown back in prison where you will rot for the rest of your life.
Anthony: No one speaks to me this way.
Ric: Yes, i know. At least i didn't threaten to push you in front of a bus, right? Or down a flight of stairs, did i?
Claudia: No, i didn't hear any threats.
Johnny: I didn't hear anything.
Anthony: All right, i'll tolerate you just as long as you get my son cleared of the charges.
Ric: Understand this, anthony -- this is way bigger than your ego. Now, get out.
Anthony: You run a good bluff, ricky. You better pray i don't call it Get me the hell away from here before i do something i regret.
