Kate: Oh, the right people. You mean Joe Scully.
Sonny: Well, I guess your cousin Gloria would call that the wrong people. But you got to understand something. You know, back then, there was not much good in my life, except you.
Kate: So you were already working for him then?
Sonny: Nothing heavy. Fringe stuff, you know. He knew about you, and he also knew that I didn't have any soft spots left from the beatings that I took from my stepfather. So he saw that I was different with you, and then I -- I gave him some information and he said that I could take you here, you know, on the house.
Kate: Oh. Ok, so -- so I'm -- I'm guessing that Joe Scully paid for our first date.
Sonny: No, no, he didn't -- not -- he got us in. Whatever I spent that night was my own doing, and it impressed Scully.
Kate: Of course he was impressed.
Sonny: Well, you know what? The person who wasn't impressed was my stepfather. One of his buddies, you know, saw us leaving here and told him. And I learned a lot about that night, you know. That it feels much better to get hit on the back of the leg with a belt buckle than it does on your chin.
Kate: Sonny, you never told me any of this.
Sonny: Why would I tell you? You were so happy. I didn't want to ruin anything, you know?
Kate: Well, that explains why I didn't hear from you for a few days. I thought it was something I did.
Sonny: I didn't want you to be afraid.
Kate: Of who, Joe Scully, or your stepfather?
Sonny: Both. I mean, right people, wrong people -- you know, it's -- it's all your -- your point of view. I did what I did, and now, I became one of them.
Trevor: Richard, it's not nice. I left messages for you.
Ric: Yeah, I got them. And I noticed a little edge in the last one. I couldn't figure out whether it was the normal frustration and disdain that you have for me, or if I detected a note of -- I don't know -- need. Huh. It kind of reminded me of like when I was a kid and I used to reach out to you in need, and you'd just ignore me.
Trevor: Oh, Richie, that's all in the past. Didn't I help save your life at Wyndemere? And doesn't that mean anything?
Ric: Trevor, you don't like me, ok? And I don't very much like you, so what's the point? We don't have anything in common.
Trevor: Except for our feelings about Sonny.
Ric: Yeah, that's -
Trevor: Listen, I was hoping that we could salvage our relationship -- with a defeat of him.
Ric: In what way?
Trevor: Alcazar's properties. You and I both know that Sonny and Johnny will bid on those properties from Skye, and she is going to sell them to one man. Whoever that is, he's going to be a very formidable person -
Ric: Yeah, well, Skye's gone.
Trevor: What -- what happened?
Ric: She's gone, ok? She's gone. She left town -- I don't know.
Trevor: So how -
Ric: Maybe she got tired of it. Maybe -
Trevor: How are we going to acquire those properties? Ok. Look, I'm going to do it for myself. I don't know why I thought that you would return the ball once in your life and do something for me! Huh. All right. Why do you always wear that mantle of ineptitude? It doesn't become you at all.
Ric: Skye doesn't own the piers anymore, dad. I do.
Man: I heard something.
Lulu: It was probably the one marble you have rattling around in your head. Or maybe it was this. You mean that noise? I was bored. The feng shui in this place sucks. Is that against kidnaping policy? Well, now that we're bonding, why don't you tell me why I'm here?
Man: You know all you need to.
Lulu: Then I'm going to bed, and I'd like some privacy.
[Key turns in lock]
Joe: What's going on?
Leo: I -- I need -- I need Monica's help.
Joe: For who?
Leo: For Elizabeth.
Joe: What -- what about Angie?
Leo: I -- I don't know about Angie.
Joe: Why not? Why?
Jason: What's -- what's -- what's wrong with Elizabeth?
Leo: Ok, when she was coming through the broken window, she got some shards of glass imbedded in her skin. And there was one in her leg and we removed it, but she's bleeding. She's bleeding fast.
Joe: I didn't say you could go!
Jason: Go, go, go!
Joe: Don't do that again!
Leo: All right, Regina's putting pressure on the wound but I need another set of hands to retract the tissue. Can you handle it?
Monica: Um -- well, I don't know. I mean, I haven't done any surgery since Luke.
Leo: Well, then we're going to have to get you back on the horse, Dr. Quatermaine, ok?
Nikolas: What kind of a stupid thing is that to say? Of course it's hard. I had big plans for Emily's birthday.
Patrick: Yeah, I'm sure you did. So what were you going to do? Buy a small town and name it after her? I mean, that's what rich guys like you do, isn't it?
Nikolas: Can I go now?
Patrick: No, actually. I'm having you admitted.
Nikolas: Why?
Patrick: Because I'm your doctor, and I said so. Look, I know you're royalty or whatever, Nikolas, but lately you've been running around like a loose cannon -- shoving, stabbing innocent people and getting away with it because you hold some sort of untouchable place in society among us commoners. I mean, you probably think Emily should have felt chosen that you bothered to look at her twice. Tell me, Nikolas, how many -- how many women did you have on the side, really?
Nikolas: You bastard!
Patrick: Now! Put him down now!
Nikolas: Oh, you think that's funny? Huh? Get off! I swear to god, I'll kill -
Nadine: They're just trying to help!
Nikolas: No!
Patrick: Don't calm him down.
[Nikolas pants]
Nikolas: Get off me.
Patrick: You ok?
Nikolas: What -- what happened? What happened? What did I do?
Nadine: It's ok.
Robin: Nikolas, I'm so sorry.
Patrick: Ok, let him go. Robin, put a rush on that, ok? You got angry again.
Nikolas: Yeah? I still am.
Spinelli: Whew.
Logan: It's a fortress.
Spinelli: Actually, according to The Jackal's research, the monastery was used during the French and Indian war by the British to smuggle rum and munitions to rebel forces. Actually, some say that -
Logan: Yeah, well, some just say too damn much. Look, one of us needs to get inside and I think it should be me.
Johnny: I'm the reason Lulu's in there -- I should be the one to get her out.
Logan: Yeah, so you can be the hero again like you were at Wyndemere? I don't think so, no.
Spinelli: Actually, it's rather obvious who should go in. Um -- I, The Jackal.
Logan: Ha!
Johnny: Why?
[Bell tolls]
[Speaking Latin]
Spinelli: I -- I took four years of Latin. Um -- see -- see -- no, you see, I -- I could blend in. I could become one of the brothers, at it were, find Lulu, and then guide her out.
Logan: How?
Man: Is someone there? Is someone there?
Mac: What the hell do you think you're doing?
Scott: Mayor Floyd made the call. He's a hostage in there, so you can take it up with him when he gets out.
Mac: Mayor Floyd doesn't call the shots on the streets in this city.
Scott: Well, now, Mac, your -- your record's been a little spotty. Besides, Mayor Floyd and myself -- we got to answer to the voters.
Mac: And this is what, your chance to clean things up? You're way out of line, Baldwin. From now on, we do things my way.
[Patrick groans]
Robin: What happened?
Patrick: Well, you were right. My controlled experiment got a little out of control. Come on, we have to find him.
Leo: Dr. Quatermaine?
Monica: Um -- Dr. Julian, could you take over, please?
Leo: Regina?
[Monitor beeps]
Epiphany: He's breathing now.
Cassius: Oh. Thank god.
Kelly: I'm going to need to run some more tests.
Angie: But the baby's -
Kelly: He's alive.
Angie: But what? What's wrong with him?
Sam: Hey, hi.
Kelly: Hi.
Sam: I'm going to need something positive to tell your husband to calm him down. Anything? What have we got here?
Jason: Joe -- worst thing for your wife and baby is stress. And you being out here doing this -- this is not -- this is not good for them. Dr. Ford?
Russell: Yeah?
Jason: Um -- if -- if we can still come to some kind of understanding, we get Joe unhooked somehow and you can -- you can be with your wife, ok? And no -- no actions get taken until his wife gets released -- can we -- can we still do that?
Russell: We can do that.
Jason: Let's -- let's end this, Joe, ok? Let's just end -- end this craziness. I mean, you belong with your wife and your baby.
Nikolas: Where is she?
Joe: Whoa -- who is this guy? How did he get in here?
Jason: No, no, Nikolas, stay -- just please, stay back, ok?
Joe: You stay back or I'll blow us up!
Nikolas: You go ahead. I've got nothing to lose.
Kate: What?
[Sonny chuckles]
Sonny: I don't know. I just don't want tonight to be about bad memories.
Kate: Sonny, all of my memories about that night are good. I'm just sorry that yours weren't.
Sonny: I don't have good memories, period. Especially when I was young. The only thing good was from you. But I tell you what -- if -- if I had to go through it all over again and it meant you being right there in front of me, looking at me like you're doing, I would.
Sonny: Um -- there's -- I got to -- ok, you know what? Uh -- can we toast?
Kate: Good idea.
[Sonny and Kate chuckle]
Sonny: Thanks. Uh -- to -- to all good things coming out of tonight.
Kate: All good.
Man: We don't serve your type here, Sonny boy.
Trevor: Well, Richie, where'd you get that kind of money?
Ric: Skye gave the piers to me.
Trevor: Hmm. Surprise, surprise. You must be much better in bed than I thought you were. Come on. Why don't you, John, and I get together? We'll have a talk. You cut us a deal and I'm going to make you a very wealthy, powerful man.
Ric: You're not listening. Skye gave the piers to me.
Trevor: Richie, I heard you. Do you understand exactly what I'm saying to you?
Ric: You're still not listening. Skye gave the piers to me, Trevor. They're mine. And I'm going to keep them.
Trevor: You're not serious.
Ric: Careful. You just went from need to desperation. It's not very becoming on you.
[Chanting]
[Object drops]
Robin: Anything?
Patrick: We have to call security?
Robin: Nikolas could get hurt.
Patrick: And so could a lot of other people.
[Robin sighs]
Robin: Whose fault is that? Oh -
Patrick: Robin -- hey.
Robin: Oh.
Leo: Ok. This should hold.
Elizabeth: Oh.
Leo: I'm going to go see about Dr. Quatermaine, ok?
Regina: I'll watch her.
[Elizabeth groans]
Regina: Doctor?
Lucky: Hey.
Elizabeth: Lucky?
Lucky: I got an exit worked out. We're going to start slipping patients out one at a time.
Elizabeth: Well, take Jake first, please.
Joe: Somebody keep this psycho away from me.
Nikolas: What, I'm a psycho? You have a bomb strapped to you.
Sam: Nikolas -
Joe: No. Nobody moves.
Jason: Nikolas, just take -- just take it easy.
Nikolas: No, you don't tell me what to do, either.
Sam: Come on, really, just -- just take it easy. You got to stop. You're having another one of your episodes. It's going to pass.
Nikolas: No. No, it won't pass.
Jason: Nik-- Nikolas -
Nikolas: Jason, I don't want to talk to you right now. Today's her birthday. Did you know that? Did you know it was her birthday?
Sam: She's gone.
Nikolas: No. No, she's not gone. You're keeping her away from me. Why are you doing that? Why? Let me ask you. Let me ask you. Why would you keep someone away from someone that they love? Why -- why would you do that?
Joe: You just stay back, you freak.
Nikolas: You want to blow us up? You want to blow us all up? Go ahead!
>> On the next "General Hospital" -
Sonny: We going to have trouble here? Nikolas: Do you want to blow people up? Go ahead. I don't think you can do it. Lucky: Is it safe to remove him? Joe: That's it! I have had it! Mayor Floyd: Jason, hold his hand, hold his hand! Sam: Jason!
Jan 17, 2008 10:17
Sonny: Are we going to have trouble here?
Man: Where Sonny goes, trouble follows. Isn't that right? Did I get you going?
Sonny: Ah!
Man: I got you, right? I got you going, right?
Sonny: Yeah, you did.
[Man laughs]
Sonny: You did. How you doing?
Man: I look different now, huh?
Sonny: No -- I mean, you -- more of you to go around, but it's not -- right?
Man: Hey, I'm sorry, I'm being rude. Moose, Moose Mince. Sonny and I go back a long ways, the old days.
Kate: Oh.
Moose: And you -- you look familiar.
Kate: You know, people say that all the time. I must have one of those faces. Kate, Kate Howard. It's a pleasure to meet you, Moose.
Moose: Yeah.
Lulu: Ok, you can do this. You're a Spencer. This would be like Disneyland to a Spencer.
Carly: This is the third message I've left for you, Diane. I'd really appreciate it if you could return my phone call.
Announcer: Today the role of Jasper Jacks is being played by Gideon Emery.
Jax: What's going on?
Carly: Trying to find Jason a lawyer.
Jax: Jason already has a lawyer -- Sonny's lawyer, Diane. You know, she's inner circle and is capable of handling any problems that --
Carly: She's not returning my phone calls, so I have to find another lawyer who will represent Jason.
Jax: For what?
Carly: I can't tell you.
Lucky: I'm going to get you out of here, I just need you to --
Regina: No, she can't be moved. She severely cut her leg when she broke through the window to save her baby -- your baby. She saved your son's life.
Elizabeth: Please, just take Jake and go, ok, before that --
Nikolas: You want to blow people up -- go ahead.
Sam: Hey, hey, Nikolas, you have to stop.
Nikolas: Shut up, Sam.
Sam: No, you are not thinking clearly! This guy has a bomb strapped to his body! If he lets his finger off the trigger, a whole lot of us are going to die!
Nikolas: You want to kill people, tough guy, go ahead -- I don't think you can do it. Come on.
[Sam gasps]
Angie: How are we going to tell my husband our baby's in trouble -- especially now?
Kelly: I know this will sound impossible, but you need to let someone else worry about Joe.
Joe: That's it, I have had it! Sam, you saw my wife. Now, you give me good news about her and my kid, because that's the only reason I got for living in this world.
Moose: And my brother Eddie and my sister Mary -- we all hung out in the old neighborhood, you know? Yeah, unbelievable. We hung, but Sonny here -- he kind of like drifted on the fringes -- you know, the dark and silent type.
[Moose chuckles]
Sonny: How is everybody, Moose?
Moose: Hey, Mary -- she owns her own booth in the hair joint -- excuse me, "salon" -- over in Jersey City. If I had a camera, I'd take your picture -- she'd love the way you did your hair.
Kate: Well, thank you, Moose.
Moose: My brother Eddie -- huh. He's still trying to find himself. Me -- I run this place. But tell you the truth, I'm thinking of leaving. It's dying here. I mean, it's -- it's not like the old days anymore.
Sonny: I'm sorry, Moose.
Moose: But we still got the old madam. You want to see her, no?
Sonny: Um -- yeah, maybe.
Moose: She's still taking these --
[Tokens drop]
Moose: Dishing out all them fun and games. You in town on business?
Sonny: Uh -- no, no, no. I'm just -- I'm taking out a lovely lady.
Moose: Yeah, yeah, nice. Hey, you were always a gentleman. It's one thing -- you know, news come down over here about you, you know -- wild times and all? But you bettered yourself real well.
Sonny: Yeah.
Moose: You -- you were smart. You didn't tie yourself up with these gutter girls. Did you put your order in?
Sonny: Yeah, yeah, I just did, I just did.
Moose: Well, let me put a fire under them, you know, get them going. Then I'll leave yous two.
Sonny: All right.
Moose: Well, it was nice meeting you. But damn -- you look so familiar.
Sonny: What was that about -- Connie?
Logan: Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to send Spinelli in there, ok? He's a freak. Who cares if the kid can speak Latin? He'll speak it in geek, and no one's going to understand him anyway. They -- they probably already got him.
Johnny: Didn't Spinelli say that they used this monastery during the French and Indian war to smuggle raw munitions to the French rebels?
Logan: Yes. So what?
Johnny: So, they had to have been traveling upriver -- this place sits on top of a bluff. That means that there could be another entrance down by the water that tunnels up inside. There could be another way in.
Logan: Well, at this point, I'll try anything, so let's go.
Johnny: No, no, no, we got a better chance splits up. If you and Spinelli have a chance of getting Lulu out of here before I'm back, don't worry about me.
Logan: Don't worry, partner, I won't.
Father Franco: Brother, someone will be coming by shortly with food for the young, troubled one.
Man: Good idea. She's not exactly in a Christian mood right now.
Father Franco: Well, it's an all too violent world we live in.
Man: Amen to that.
Father Franco: An innocent girl witnesses a crime that necessitates us putting her under lock and key for her own protection is perhaps an even greater sin.
Man: Though she'd be the last to admit it, I'm sure she appreciates the sanctuary you've given her.
Father Franco: Well, god always has room for one more.
Jax: What are you mixed up in this time, Carly?
Carly: Nothing.
Jax: "Nothing" nothing? Or nothing as in "I'm going to Wyndemere with a gun to play vigilante with the text-message killer"?
Carly: That's not fair. That was different, and Jason's in trouble.
Jax: Yeah, well, of course he is. I mean, that's what Jason does -- he gets in and out of trouble, you know -- and up till now, he seems to be quite adept at doing his job. So if Jason needs or wants a lawyer -- Diane or otherwise -- you know, I'm sure he'll find one.
Carly: You really don't understand, ok?
Jax: Then enlighten me.
Carly: Jason has always been there for me, for me and my boys, he'll be there for anyone I care about -- he'll even be there for you if I ask him to, all right? We have a very close, special relationship, but I don't love him the way that I love you, ok? Listen, this is something I have to do. I promise, I promise I'll back as soon I can, and then I will explain everything to you. What are you doing?
Jax: An intervention.
Joe: What did the doctor say?
Sam: Um -- they -- uh -- she -- she said that she just doesn't know anything yet.
Joe: No, you're stalling! What did she tell you?
Sam: She --
Kelly: She's telling you the truth. I am trying to give you good news, but I can't if I don't do some tests. And I can't do any tests if your wife is in there, a clenched-up bundle of fear, freaking out that you're going to kill yourself and everybody in this hospital. Can you get that through your head?
Joe: Ok, ok. Just run your tests. And the rest of you, stay right where you are.
Kelly: I'm going to need another pair of hands. Where's Monica?
Sonny: Does anybody know what -- what you did to yourself -- from the old neighborhood?
Kate: Stop making it sound so bad.
Sonny: I'm not making it sound bad, you're making it sound bad. But I have noticed that, you know, people in your world are very snobby.
Kate: It's not about snobbery.
Sonny: It isn't?
Kate: No, not for everyone.
Sonny: Oh.
Kate: Well, yeah, there's this creative, elitist attitude, but, Sonny, it's a defense mechanism because most of us never fit in anywhere.
Sonny: You used to fit in here perfect. What are you talking about?
Kate: "What am I talking about?"
Kate: I never fit in here. Sonny, I was at odds with everything and everyone. I felt like there was something wrong with me -- until I -- I swiped an issue of "Couture." Those pictures -- they spoke to me, they stirred my imagination. I still have my first issue -- that I stole.
Sonny: Why couldn't Connie Falconeri just make good?
Kate: Oh, god, Sonny --
Sonny: What?
Kate: It's different for you.
Sonny: Oh --
Sonny: Ah.
Kate: Who you were here is part of the mystique of who you became. It's part of who you became, it's part of your evolution.
Sonny: You evolved.
Kate: No, I didn't evolve, I jumped species -- going from Connie to Kate. If anyone found out of my past as a "gutter girl" from Bensonhurst, it would shatter my present, I wouldn't have a future.
Sonny: You could have a future with me. Or is that not good enough?
[Debris falls]
Carly: I don't know if -- if you're trying to be cute or difficult, but I don't have time for either. You need to let me through the door.
Jax: The purpose of an intervention is to make the individual aware that they have a problem.
Carly: I don't have a problem, except you won't let me go help Jason.
Jax: Do you realize how many times a day you mention that man's name, hmm? How often you defend or rhapsodize about him? How often you bring up how amazingly loving and protective he is, how great he is with the boys? And how no woman is ever good enough to be with him, and how often you stick your nose into his life to prove it? A fact which in itself borders on inappropriate behavior for a married woman, and is highly insulting to said woman's husband.
Carly: Ok, is -- is this about you being jealous?
Jax: No, it is about you being obsessive and -- and having no boundaries where Jason's concerned -- I mean, even Jerry sees it.
Carly: Jerry? Jerry sees what he wants to see, and it's only because he's trying to cause trouble so no one can figure out what he's really trying to do.
Jax: I agree -- you and Jerry have that in common. When we were at Wyndemere with Jerry, Jason came down the stairs and you flew into his arms.
Carly: That's because I was happy to see that he was alive.
Jax: And Jerry said it must be hard for me to know that my wife loves another man so much.
Carly: What the hell is going on he? You know how I feel about Jason.
Jax: You have no idea how that affects other people, including Jason.
Carly: Fine. You want to know what's going on, I'm going to tell you what's going on. That little manipulative witch, Elizabeth Webber, slept with Jason and got herself pregnant and lied to everyone. She lied to her husband, she lied to the baby's father. That's right -- Lucky's not the father, Jason is. And now she's talked Lucky and Jason into keeping the lie for some crazy reason that Jason --
Jax: And you talked yourself into the fact that you have to get involved.
Mayor Floyd: Could someone at least get me another ice pack?
Edward: Pipe down, Garrett, nobody likes a whiner! This is all your fault to begin with.
Mayor Floyd: What?
Edward: Yep. If you had spent more time working for the public good instead of skateboarding for a photo op, we might have a program in place to help the needy people in Port Charles!
Mayor Floyd: Why, Edward, didn't know you cared about the least fortunate.
Joe: Stop talking -- now!
Kelly: Oh, there you are -- I could use your help in cubicle two.
Monica: Uh -- sure. I'll be -- I'll be right there.
Kelly: Ok.
Joe: You know, Sam, I didn't want to do this. I mean, you know me -- I'm a good guy.
Sam: I know, I know, Joe. You know, sometimes bad things happen to really good people.
Joe: 30 years I put into that business, and it's -- it's gone. I lost everything, and -- and now I'm going to lose my kid.
Sam: Hey -- no, no, no, no. You don't know that yet.
Joe: Oh -- you know, when they came to take my garage -- they wouldn't even let me keep anything, but I was smart, I knew they were coming. You remember that -- that old Desoto that used to be parked out front?
Sam: Do I? Yes, the -- the antique car, right?
Joe: 1941 series s-8 custom coupe.
Sam: Ooh. Definitely beautiful.
Joe: Oh, sweet. You know, it doesn't run, but the interior and exterior -- mint condition. And I -- I still l all the neighborhood kids play in it whenever they want, because the day my father brought that car home, he did the same for me anyway, when they -- when they came to take my livelihood from me, I got up before the sun and I went down to the lot and I pushed that Desoto all the way home. I'd give anything to see my kid behind the wheel of that car. It was so frustrating, like a mystery I couldn't solve.
Kate: Oh, so you're making this about absolutes?
Sonny: No, no, no, I'm just -- I'm making this about you and me and what we could have ahead of us. This isn't about what's written in stone on some Bensonhurst corner the night you left me hanging. You know what? I -- I brought you to this place because it's -- this is where the two of us can be us. We were having problems in Port Charles and Manhattan -- worlds that only work for one of us at a time -- so, hey, you know what? This place -- this place is just fine.
Kate: Sonny, just because I deny my past doesn't make my memories of you any less sweet.
Sonny: I understand that, but, you know, the -- yes, a lot of things in the past weren't good, but -- when I would, you know, take you on walks on the beach on Coney Island, we would pretend that, you know, we were just friends. We would make out in the back row of the Stillwell movie place. We would just look in each other's eyes and it was like --
Sonny: Remember when we used to say that we said more in five seconds looking at each other than most people did talking for hours? You know why? Because we knew who we were, we knew -- what we wanted. Ahem. Or maybe we were just saying things so we wouldn't scare each other off, you know, because we always held so much inside, you know?
Kate: Yeah -- like you working for Joe Scully?
Sonny: Yeah, and what about you? What did you keep to yourself?
Kate: I didn't keep anything to myself. I always said that I wanted more.
Sonny: No, no, you said you wanted better, and that night that we ditched everything to run away together, that -- I thought you did. But -- uh -- maybe when you said you "wanted better," you meant you wanted better than me.
Kate: Sonny, it was timing.
Sonny: Yeah. It was timing. It's always timing, you know, right? Timing's got to be perfect.
Kate: Oh --
Moose: Fortunato's presents carciofe parmigiano for two.
Kate: Mmm.
Kate: Talk about timing.
Moose: Enjoy.
Kate: It's perfect -- I'm starved.
Sonny: Perfect.
Man: I thought you guys were all praying or something. Oh -- the vow-of-silence thing. Careful -- she can be rough.
Spinelli: Fair Lulu? Fair Lulu, it is I, The Jackal, here --
Lulu: Hello?
[Lulu screams]
Carly: All this time, Jason has had a son, and he couldn't be with him.
Jax: And you just found this out?
Carly: Yes.
Jax: And you're upset because he never told you.
Carly: Ok, that is besides the point here.
Jax: Is it? You know, I mean, it seems to me he didn't tell you because he knew what your reaction would be.
Carly: It's the right reaction.
Jax: Is it?
Carly: Jason needs to fight for custody.
Jax: Isn't that his choice?
Carly: He has it in his head that if the truth comes out, that his son will be in danger.
Jax: Well, I tend to agree. I mean, look how Sonny's kids have been used against him.
Carly: Jason will protect him. Do you know how badly Jason wants to be a father?
Jax: Not really. You know, I'm not friends with Jason. I'm not married to Jason. You know, I'm trying to have my own family right here -- which brings me to a very important question. You have any idea how badly I want a child -- with you?
Lucky: Is it save to move him?
Epiphany: Where to?
Lucky: With that bomb, anywhere but here.
Kelly: The baby appears hydropic.
Angie: What does that mean?
Monica: It means the baby seems to be swollen.
Angie: But my baby could be born ok, right? Right?
Kelly: If the baby's swollen, it's a sign he's suffering from congestive heart failure. How long have you had these flu-like symptoms?
Angie: I don't know -- about a week? I do a lot of babysitting to bring in extra cash, and there's always some little boy or girl who's got something.
Monica: And you never saw a doctor?
Angie: Well, I went to the free clinic a few times, and they gave me some antibiotics, but they never seemed to kick in.
Kelly: We don't think it's the flu.
Angie: Then what is it?
Kelly: We need to run some blood tests to be certain exactly what it is.
Joe: I thought I told you to stay seated. You're taking a big gamble with other people's lives.
Jason: Is that what you are -- a gambler, Joe? You -- you play poker?
Joe: Oh, I know enough about poker -- I know enough not to play. Luck's never been my friend.
Jason: All right, what about -- what about roulette? I mean, you know, I always bet on red -- you always have a 50/50 chance of winning, right? I don't really have a lucky number, but, you know, some people play their ages, their -- their birthdays, their anniversaries
Joe: Stay back, stay back. I'm not kidding -- one more step, I let this go.
Sam: Jason!
Joe: I'm going to let it go!
Jan 17, 2008 10:21
Joe: No!
Jason: It's ok -- it's not a real bomb!
Joe: How did you know?
Jason: I heard you talking about wanting to pass that car to your boy. You're just a father who loves his son. You'd have to feel pretty lucky to gamble with a real bomb and not end up hurting him.
Mac: Freeze! Freeze!
Sam: No, no, no, don't shoot! There -- there is no bomb. There never was.
Mac: Cuff him! Cuff him!
Russell: I want that man arrested, and then you take his wife to the county.
Cassius: All due respect, sir -- I mean, does it always have to be about money? I mean, people deserve good medical care.
Russell: Yes, and they can get that -- at the county.
Joe: Please, let me see my wife.
Mac: No, you're going downtown. Let's go.
Joe: No, please -- I want to see her, I want to tell her that I love her. Please -- Sam, go, tell her that I did it for her and the baby!
Sam: Ok!
Joe: Please!
Sam: I will.
Elizabeth: Jake, look at mommy. Hi, baby. You look so much better. That was scary, huh? Oh, thank you for bringing him to see me.
Man: Hey, padre? What's taking so long?
Man: What the --
Man: You're going to be sorry you did that.
Spinelli: Aut vincere aut mori.
Man: Hey -- I thought you were silent.
Spinelli: Good idea. Acta, non verba! Oh --
Carly: I know we discussed having a baby.
Jax: Well, not so much as me bringing up the possibility and the desire, and then you coming up with a hundred different reasons not to. If you expended, say, half the amount of energy on you and me that I can only imagine you've spent working yourself up over Jason's baby --
Carly: How do you know I haven't?
Jax: I don't know. Have you?
Kate: How do you like your parmigiano?
Sonny: Honestly, mine's better.
Kate: Last time we were here, you said it wasn't as good as your mother's. Gee, I wonder if anything is ever good enough for you.
Sonny: Some things, and some things are even better than I expected -- or remembered.
[Woman laughs]
Man: That's ridiculous. It's -- we're leaving, come on.
Kate: Wow. Looks like the madam has spoken and someone didn't like what she had to say.
Sonny: Good old Madam Zoltinho.
Kate: Oh, you were so serious about what she told us that night.
Sonny: What do you mean? You were. I didn't buy into that -- some machine pops out cards --
Kate: Oh, come on.
Sonny: With something vaguely written on them. Come on.
Kate: Sonny, there's something so creepy about her. I only went over to her in the first place because she needed a makeover -- I mean, really.
Sonny: Really?
Kate: Yeah, and then there you were -- voila -- with two coins and that daring smile on your face.
Sonny: Ooh. Right.
[Kate giggles]
Kate: I remember what my fortune was that night, do you?
Sonny: Mm-hmm. You first.
Kate: "You will lose yourself in someone else." I was all excited because I was certain she was talking about you.
Sonny: But she wasn't.
Kate: What do you mean?
Sonny: You did lose yourself in another person -- and the person's name is Kate Howard.
Mayor Floyd: Excuse me, nurse? My knee is severely swollen, I could use some attention.
Nurse: Be right with you, Mayor Floyd.
Mayor Floyd: But --
Edward: Oh, Jason? That was some very good work you did in there, son. Whether or not you want to admit it, you showed real Quatermaine spirit -- don't you think so, Monica?
Patrick: During your last episode, we were able to draw some blood so we could see what hormones you were secreting while in rage.
Nikolas: So you did that on purpose?
Patrick: It was the only way I could get a true blood test, and we're optimistic that we're going to be able to find some answers.
Nikolas: I don't appreciate being treated like a test animal.
Patrick: Nikolas, when this blood gets back, we're going to have some answers and help you.
Nadine: Patrick has been working day and night to find a way to help you in this. He cares about you -- we all do.
Sam: Lucky? Hi. I'm -- I'm a little shaky and -- I don't know. Do you want to come home with me?
Lucky: You know, I'm just going to stay here for a while, make sure everything's ok with Elizabeth and Jake.
Sam: Ok.
Johnny: Lulu, you ok? It's Johnny.
Lulu: Oh, my -- I'm so confused. I -- I don't understand. What's happening?
Johnny: I'll explain later. Right now, I need to get you the hell out of here.
Lulu: Oh -- I'm so cold I can barely move. Ow -- great! I just think it's badly sprained -- ow! No, it's broken, it's broken.
Johnny: Don't worry, I got you.
Lulu: No, I am not helpless!
Johnny: Why are you being stubborn? I need to get you out of here now.
Lulu: Why am I here? What do you have to do with this?
Johnny: I will argue with you all you want once we get out of here. Just come with --
Lulu: No!
Johnny: Agh! Damn it!
Lulu: Oh, my god -- oh, my god, I'm so sorry.
Carly: I love you so much. And there's nothing that I want to give you more than a child. I have been trying very hard to get pregnant. I have been taking my temperature a million times day, sneaking over to Dr. Lee's office taking test after test. That was supposed to be your Christmas present, not that stupid sweater -- the news of a child. I was willing to do whatever it takes, and I was so sure that I was pregnant, you know? So sure that I even -- um -- I even bought this for our baby. But -- um -- well, there's no baby. I can't -- I can't.
Jax: Do you have any idea how much I love you, Carly? You shouldn't be doing this alone. You know, this -- this will be our baby, and we're going to do whatever it takes -- together. Don't shut me out, Carly. I mean, whether -- whether we succeed or not, this is our journey. We need to take it together.
Carly: I would like that more than anything.
Jax: Hey.
Lulu: Ok, ok, we need to take care of that fast. Um -- if we can make it back to my room, then maybe we can find something to stop the bleeding. I was able to move some loose stones and escape to the tunnels -- they probably don't even know that I'm gone.
Johnny: It's too risky.
Lulu: What?
Johnny: There's got to be something about this wall.
Lulu: What about it?
Johnny: Well, why is this soldier carrying a box toward a dead end -- unless it isn't one.
Lulu: I don't -- what are you talking about?
Johnny: This place was used as a smugglers' haven. They couldn't just leave all the stuff hanging out. They had to have been a little more clever. Oh, god, there's got to be something here.
[Latch clicks]
[Wall creaks]
Lulu: Oh, my god. Look at all this.
Johnny: It's rum and munitions for the French rebels. Oh --
Lulu: No.
Johnny: Stop it, stop it. No, no, no -- damn it.
Jax: So, is it safe for me to unlock the door?
Carly: No -- I don't want you going anywhere. I can't tell you how relieved I feel to have this out in the open -- no more lies, no more sneaking around.
Jax: Well, at least as far as baby making's concerned.
Carly: Ok, am I really that bad? Don't answer the question. I don't want to ruin this nice, nice moment that we're having.
Jax: So -- um -- now that we both want a child, what are we waiting for?
Carly: For you to come over here.
Epiphany: Oh -- oh --
Epiphany: Oh, god! Oh -- oh, it hurts. Oh, it hurts! Oh -- oh! Oh, it hurts!
Russell: I don't know why I have to defend myself when I wasn't the one holding the bomb.
Kelly: She needs special attention.
Monica: And county doesn't have the resources that we have.
Russell: She's going to county, that's final.
Nikolas: You take that woman out of this hospital and I'll withdraw every dime I put into it.
Russell: Admit her.
Monica: Thank you.
Nadine: That was pretty impressive.
Nikolas: Well, obviously I don't condone what Joe did here today, but his wife and his child deserve to get help.
Nadine: Well, I think Emily would be glad if you did something to help yourself -- like checking yourself in and waiting for the new results? And if you don't believe me, maybe you should ask her -- next time you talk to her.
Nikolas: Ok, fine. I'll do it your way.
Patrick: Ok.
Nikolas: I'll go upstairs and admit myself.
Patrick: Thank you.
Monica: And how is he doing?
Nurse: Much better. His sats are up to 98.
Monica: Well, that's great. Yes, it is. Good boy.
Kate: I never thought of it that way. I don't think that I lost Connie in Kate, I just hid her away like an embarrassing relative.
Sonny: Careful, you're talking about my high school sweetheart -- or, I guess in my case it would be -- it would be my no-show sweetheart. Go ahead, pop it in. Come on.
[Kate sighs]
Sonny: Ok.
[Machine chimes]
Kate: Ahem. "You are two different people." No -- ok, your turn. Here you go.
Sonny: Uh --
Kate: Oh, wait, wait -- what did yours say that night?
Kate: The first one.
Sonny: Yeah, I know. That you -- "you will lose everything for love." And I was ready to, except there was nobody really there to give it -- give it to.
Kate: So, wait, did you just bring me back to Bensonhurst to make me feel bad?
Sonny: Anything but.
Kate: Put the token in. Do it already.
Sonny: No, I don't want to.
Kate: Do it.
Sonny: Because you can't mess with the future, because it -- it's dangerous. What if it says, "you will go bald tomorrow"?
Kate: Uh -- then I'll buy you a hat? Go, do it.
Kate: What's it say?
>> On the next "General Hospital" --
Leyla: I have to find a different way to handle Patrick. Robin: I want a no-fuss pregnancy. Did you find something unexpected? Kelly: You might say that. Kate: Let me see it. What's your fortune?
Jan 18, 2008 10:45
Sonny: Nothing. Some stupid card out of a stupid machine.
Kate: Well, then let me see it. What's your fortune?
Logan: Spinelli, did you find Lulu or not?
Spinelli: I've infiltrated the lions' den, only to discern that fair Lulu was here but found a means to escape. Um --
Logan: Spinelli, you sound like you're in a rabbit hole.
[Speech breaks up]
Logan: Where are you? Spinelli, where are you? I'll come and get you.
Spinelli: In a tunnel --
[Line disconnects]
Logan: Spinel-- Spinelli?
Johnny: We're trapped.
[Johnny groans]
Lulu: Your leg's still bleeding.
Johnny: I'll live.
Lulu: Tough guy till the end, right?
Johnny: "The end" is right. And now we got to get you out of here, and soon.
Lulu: Why? What's going on? Who is behind all of this besides you?
[Phone rings]
Jerry: [French accent] Hello. Oui?
Man: Good evening, Mr. Moreau. That is who you are for this transaction, right?
Jerry: [Normal voice] I thought we were going to meet face to face. What do you say I buy you a drink?
[Man chuckles]
Man: All in good time.
Jerry: All right. On to business, then. The shipment is on the Zacchara boat which should arrive in Port Charles by morning.
Man: "Should"?
Jerry: Yes, should -- barring any unforeseen complications, that is.
Man: I prefer to deal in absolutes. Don't tell me the boat should arrive, tell me it will arrive. There won't be any unforeseen complications, will there, old friend?
Patrick: What are you doing?
Robin: I'm -- I was just going over Nikolas' most recent brain scan.
Patrick: Robin, you should be in bed.
Robin: I bet -- you know, scratch that -- I know you say that to all the women.
Patrick: You just fell. I just watched you collapse in the middle of the nurses' station.
Robin: I've been checked out, I'm fine.
Patrick: Ok, then why don't you do us both a favor -- go home, get some rest.
Robin: Listen, Nikolas just agreed to check himself in, and one thing we can agree on is the fact that he's getting worse. So the sooner you get off my case and on to his, the better everyone will be.
[Door opens]
Nadine: You look disappointed. Who were you expecting?
Kate: I showed you mine, you have to show me yours.
Sonny: No, no, no, no, no. No, no, no. I don't want to jinx it. You know, last -- last one I had, it didn't come true. Here you go.
Kate: All right, let me guess.
Sonny: Right.
Kate: "You will meet a tall, cool brunette who likes a good rusty nail with a single-malt scotch."
Sonny: Yeah, yeah, that's it.
Moose: [High voice] "On your wedding night, you will go bald."
Sonny: You know what? If I do, I'll use the hair off your back and I'll put it on my head. How did -- there's no way you could remember that.
Moose: [Normal voice] It's not so long ago, you know.
Sonny: Well --
Moose: I got a mind like a steel trap -- that's why you're still so familiar to me.
Kate: Well, I'm sure I remind you of someone you used to know.
Moose: Then how about ending the night with the best tiramisu this side of the Atlantic?
Sonny: You know what, Moose? Love to, but I got to go somewhere else for -- I'm going to give her a special dessert.
Moose: Ah, suit yourself.
Nikolas: I -- I was hoping to see Robin so I could apologize to her for knocking her down. I -- actually, I need to apologize to everyone in the E.R. for going after that guy with the bomb like he was carrying a firecracker.
Nadine: You were having one of your episodes, and from what I heard, it wasn't even a real bomb. He just wanted to get his wife some help.
Nikolas: Nevertheless, at the time I was more of a menace than he was.
Nadine: Well, to be fair, you didn't know that Dr. Drake was purposefully bringing on one of your episodes to take a blood sample during a rage.
Nikolas: Oh, but at least he's trying to do something to figure out what's wrong with me before I die -- or do some real damage.
Emily: You didn't hurt me, Nikolas. You could never hurt me.
Nadine: Well, I am just here to check your vitals.
Emily: I'm glad you admitted yourself to stay overnight.
Nadine: It's good you agreed to stay here overnight.
Nikolas: Yeah, probably. I still wish that -- that I was at home, though.
Nadine: Yeah -- it's easier to talk to Emily there?
Nikolas: No. It's just -- just different, ok?
Nadine: Of course. Here you have memories of Emily at work. At home, memories are more special.
Emily: More intimate.
Nikolas: It's also where she died.
Nadine: Yeah, it's ok. I understand.
Nikolas: What? How could you possibly understand what it's like for me?
Emily: She does know -- just look at her.
Nadine: This may be hard for you to understand, but with all due respect, Mr. Cassadine, you are not the only person who's ever lost someone.
Nikolas: I'm sorry, I shouldn't have snapped at you like that.
Nadine: No, I -- I am officially off duty. It's been a long day and I need a tall beer. But I hope you get some more positive news -- and as my aunt would say, "a visiting comfort."
Patrick: Is there a reason why you're being more hostile than usual?
Robin: I am not being more hostile.
Patrick: Oh.
Leyla: Maybe it's because you're being nicer to her than usual? Oh, but wait -- that's how you are with women after you stop sleeping with them. Isn't it, Dr. Drake?
Robin: I'm out of this conversation.
Patrick: Well, I'm getting it from all sides today.
Leyla: You reap what you sow.
Patrick: I was nothing but honest with you.
Leyla: Brutally.
Patrick: And I thought we had an understanding.
Leyla: We did.
Patrick: Look, Leyla, I -- I didn't make any promises or anything to you.
Leyla: Look, the only promises that were broken then were the ones I made to myself.
Patrick: Ok, then why the chilly reception?
Leyla: I suggest you bundle up, Dr. Drake -- it's about to get a whole lot colder.
Johnny: There's this guy, Moreau. Trevor was on me about pushing some product for him.
Lulu: Drugs?
Johnny: I don't know. But I blew him off.
Lulu: Why?
Johnny: Because I'm supposed to be in charge now, calling the shots. I deserve the respect that my father got.
Lulu: Your father had it because he was ruthless, and from what I saw, a man without a soul. Is that what you're trying to be?
Johnny: I'm trying to be myself, not my father, not anyone Trevor or anybody else wants me to be.
Lulu: And you blew this guy off --
Johnny: And you got grabbed. You were supposed to be released when the shipment reached New York. I've already told you more than you need to know.
Lulu: Excuse me, I have been left in the dark, I have been blindfolded, and I've been locked up in some dank cell. I think I have a right to know.
Johnny: You already know too much.
Lulu: What do I know, Johnny? I don't know anything!
Johnny: Everybody knows too damn much about me -- how I feel or how they think I feel.
Lulu: You mean about me?
Nikolas: Well, I handled that like a complete clod, didn't I? And you think that's funny?
Emily: No -- yes -- no.
Nikolas: I love hearing you laugh.
Emily: Well, maybe that's why you said what you said the way you said it.
Nikolas: Maybe.
Emily: Because I'm a part of you, Nikolas.
Nikolas: Yeah.
Emily: I mean, I think we've already agreed on the fact that I'm not a ghost -- or at least, I don't feel like I am.
Nikolas: No, I don't feel like you are, either. I don't know, though. Maybe -- no, I think that you're -- that you're a projection of -- of my heart and of my love for you, I think. Damn it. I just -- I just wanted to be home today to celebrate your birthday, that's all I wanted. I just wanted to celebrate you --
Emily: My life?
Nikolas: Yes, your life and the fact that you were born, that you loved me, and -- we were supposed to be married. Damn it. I was supposed to wake up every day with you by my side.
Emily: Nikolas -- I don't know about forever -- I don't even know about tomorrow. All I know is that I'm here with you now and this is where I want to be.
Coleman: Well, look who's here. All my regulars have been asking when you were coming back.
Leyla: Really?
Coleman: Oh, yeah -- in fact, I got a table already set up for you in the corner if you want. In fact, I'll even wipe it down so you don't slip.
Nadine: I already have a table. There will be no floorshows tonight -- thanks.
Nadine: Oh, no. The last time I saw that look, I was picking dollar bills up off the floor.
Leyla: Don't worry, not tonight. I have to find a different way to handle the situation with Patrick. My parents didn't raise me to dance on pool tables and collect tips from strange men, for goodness sakes. No, they gave up everything so that I could pursue a career in medicine. I was serious about my career. Well, I got serious about Patrick Drake -- only he didn't get serious about me.
Nadine: Yeah, well, love hurts more often than it should.
Leyla: I knew he had feelings for Robin, but I just thought that --
Nadine: I mean, you -- you wanted to be special enough to mean more than you did?
Leyla: I guess so.
Nadine: Well, maybe he doesn't know what he lost because he never knew what he had.
Leyla: Would this be your aunt Raylene speaking?
[Nadine chuckles]
Nadine: No, no, this is me. I just think that sometimes you got to let loose with a guy.
Leyla: I'm not that type of girl.
Nadine: Maybe you should be.
Jerry: The shipment will cross the U.S. border in a Zacchara vessel which will travel through Corinthos-controlled shipping lanes, and Corinthos is not someone you want to get on your bad side, believe me.
Man: I have no interest in Mr. Corinthos.
Jerry: A mean to an end, huh?
Man: More like a means to a beginning. We wouldn't have to be engaging in half of this trouble if you could get your hands on that perfectly situated waterfront property.
Jerry: Yes, the Alcazar piers -- I'm working on that.
Man: Same old Jerry. Work harder. Do I have to remind you that you owe me?
Jerry: Of course not.
Man: Think of this in terms of the greater good. Let's have a talk.
Jerry: About what?
Man: General Hospital. Tell me about some of the people in General Hospital.
Johnny: How I feel about things and what I choose to do about them are two completely different stories -- ow!
Lulu: You need to wash that.
Johnny: There's no time. I need to get you out of here and I need to get onto that boat.
Lulu: What for?
Johnny: Once I know that you're safe, I'm going to make sure that whatever Moreau was transporting doesn't get there.
Lulu: How did you find me?
Johnny: It was a group effort -- Spinelli and your boyfriend.
Lulu: Logan?
Johnny: You got any others I don't know about? We used the call that you placed. Spinelli cross-referenced all the clues, ended up at this monastery. It's an interesting base of covert operations. That skeleton I tripped over -- he was a soldier and a smuggler, and this is what they were smuggling a few hundred years ago.
Lulu: It's some kind of alcohol.
Johnny: Yeah, it's probably rum.
Lulu: Look, you feel on that rusty bayonet. You could have blood poisoning or some kind of infection.
Johnny: If we don't get out of here soon, we could run out of air. There's got to be some sort of hidden release for this door up in here.
Lulu: You need to take care of that wound.
Johnny: It's obviously stronger than its regulated descendants. Agh! Oh, damn it. You're freezing.
Lulu: Don't worry, I always shake like this when I'm having fun.
Johnny: Here. Take this. Have a swig of this. Come on, you need the warmth.
Johnny: I need a painkiller.
Lulu: Ah.
Kate: Oh, wow. I can't believe it's still here
Sonny: Stillwell movie theater. It looks -- still looks good, right?
Kate: How did you know it was still here?
Sonny: Well, I made a lot of calls between Manhattan and Port Charles. How could you go to Fortunato's and not come here? Let's sit down.
Kate: No, no, wait! No, no, it's not that row! No, we don't like that row, we like this row in the back.
Kate: No, don't you remember? Unless you sat perfectly, perfectly still, the seats made all kinds of noise and people looked.
Sonny: Yeah, yeah. But you know what? I don't remember much at all about that time -- you know what I'm saying? Uh -- so, I told you I got dessert, right? Did I?
Kate: Well, you hinted it. Seriously?
Sonny: Yep.
Kate: Chocolate-covered raisins?
Kate: I can't believe I still have teeth. Ok, so, do you know what they're playing?
Sonny: Does it really matter?
Kate: It never did! I don't think I ever saw the end of a movie with you.
Sonny: Well, seeing as I -- I used to sneak you in here without paying, there's justice in that.
Kate: I think I'm overdressed.
Sonny: Kate Howard overdress -- how can that happen?
Kate: I want to thank you for tonight.
Sonny: You know what?
Kate: Hmm?
Sonny: Ain't over yet.
Kate: Well, I know what an effort you're making. The Sonny that I recently got reacquainted with wouldn't necessarily drop everything to go back to the old neighborhood -- especially for his gutter girl.
Sonny: You know what? Just for the record, Moose never called you that. And why couldn't you at least just admit --
Kate: Expose myself -- professionally speaking. I think I want some water.
Sonny: No, no, I'll get it, I'll get it.
Kate: No, maybe I want to get you your favorite candy.
Sonny: Well, I'm looking at my favorite candy.
Kate: Oh!
Sonny: Everybody loved Connie Falconeri.
Kate: Everybody but me. The people I work with who know me as Kate Howard probably wouldn't think much of her, either.
Sonny: The question is, what do you really think of Kate Howard?
Kelly: I'd like your opinion on the wife of our bomb-scare guy. It's an unusual case and I'm waiting for some test results.
Robin: Sure.
Kelly: How are you feeling?
Robin: You know, I really don't want to get into it. There's been enough people fussing all over me today.
Kelly: You're going to have to get used to some fussing after you get pregnant.
Robin: I want a no-muss, no-fuss pregnancy. Now, I realize that's nearly impossible given my condition, but that is why I have picked someone from the sperm bank website.
Kelly: Since they took your blood when they checked you out, I had them run some final tests. The results should be out by now so if they indicate that you're ready to go ahead with the procedure, we can contact the lab and get you pregnant.
Robin: Sounds like a plan.
[Music plays]
Patrick: I thought there was an emergency.
Leyla: It is an emergency.
Singer: I flew miles and miles just to get to you
Lulu: So, where are Logan and Spinelli now?
Johnny: Logan's keeping watch in the front. I scoped an entrance out back, and Spinelli went in to find you in disguise.
Lulu: As a monk?
Johnny: Be hard-pressed to find another girl that could laugh in a situation like this.
Lulu: Well, what am I supposed to do -- sit in the corner and cry?
Johnny: I remember you at Wyndemere -- trying to bait my father. You were gutsy.
Lulu: Huh.
Johnny: I thought it was just a one-time thing, but I guess not. Maybe you do have more bravery than brains.
Lulu: And maybe you should scope out the people that you do business with before you go pissing them off. And by the way, just so you know, Logan's not --
Johnny: Logan's not what?
Lulu: Logan's not any of your business.
Johnny: Yeah, I think you've had enough of that.
Lulu: Uh-uh. Oh -- sorry.
[Woman giggles]
Young Kate's voice: You still got plenty of time to finish school.
Young Sonny's voice: Who says I want to?
Young Kate's voice: Maybe I want you to.
Young Sonny: What? You feel better sneaking into the movies at night with a guy who sits in English class during the day?
Young Kate: It's not about me, it's about you. I could talk to the principal -- unless --
Young Sonny: Unless what?
Young Kate: Moose told Mary you were looking for some guy -- a bad-news guy.
Young Sonny: Hey, I'm a bad-news guy already.
[Young Sonny laughs]
Young Kate: It's not funny! Tell me it's not true, tell me you'll go back to school and graduate.
Young Sonny: You want me to give you a class ring or something, huh? I -- I can find a ring.
Young Kate: I don't care about those things. I want you to be somebody.
Young Sonny: I am somebody.
Young Kate: You know what I mean.
Young Sonny: What I know is there's no going back. Ready?
Jan 18, 2008 10:49
[Movie plays]
[Movie stops]
[Patrons groan]
Man: Great.
Kate: Well, timing is everything.
Sonny: Well, I'm going to go see what's going on.
Kate: Ok.
Young Kate's voice: I want you to be somebody.
Young Sonny: Yeah -- you think I'm a nobody. Besides, like I said, there's -- there's no going back.
Young Kate: I think you're smart. I think you could have anything if you'd just try.
Young Sonny: Huh. I don't need a diploma for that -- I got my smile.
Young Kate: Hmm. Well, I don't see it much anymore. Is there something at home?
Young Sonny: I got nothing at home.
Young Kate: Is it this Scully person I've heard about?
Young Sonny: Well, that -- that's not a name you should let anyone hear you talking about.
Young Kate: Then it's true?
Young Sonny: Ok, you hocking me, now?
Young Kate: You're working for him!
Young Sonny: You want me to go back and -- and be on the geek squad? Ok, fine, fine.
Young Kate: Promise?
Young Sonny: Yeah, yeah, promise.
Young Kate: I want you to be happy.
Young Sonny: I want us to be happy, and there's another option -- we could run away together.
Sonny: Ah. They're putting the pieces together now.
Kate: Oh -- oh, the movie.
Sonny: What do you mean, "oh, the movie"?
Kate: No, I was just --
Sonny: What did you think I was talking about?
Kate: I was just somewhere else for a minute.
Sonny: I got somewhere else to take you.
Patrick: Ok, what if somebody --
Leyla: Walks in? Some doctors need to sleep, others need to sleep around.
Patrick: Leyla, I'm not really sure you should be -- or what's happening here.
Leyla: I'll guide you through it.
Singer: From you no more lonely nights away from you
Man: Mr. Moreau? We have a problem.
Johnny: No. We can't do this.
Patrick: Well, that was --
Leyla: Fantastic.
Patrick: Yeah, for starters. Now what do we do?
Leyla: "Now" nothing. We have no claims on each other. We go back to hospital business as usual. I don't want to impede your progress with the nursing staff.
Patrick: Ah, so this was all about revenge?
Leyla: No -- it was about pure pleasure. And it was very enlightening. It made me realize that I can focus on my career as if it means everything, and sleep with a man and have it mean nothing at all.
Singers: Do we start all over?
Singer: This heart has given up all fight I don't care who knows, no
Nikolas: Emily?
Emily: I'm here.
Nikolas: Hey.
Emily: Hey. Nikolas -- I still don't know. I -- I don't know if whatever it is that I am is good for you.
Nikolas: No, no. No, don't say that. You're always here when I need you.
Emily: No, I don't think that's true. I mean, where was I when you hurt Robin or when you went after the man with the bomb? I should've been there to stop you.
Nikolas: No, no, maybe I don't want you around when I'm angry so I don't -- so I don't hurt you.
Emily: No, you can't -- I'm dead.
Nikolas: Well, maybe -- maybe I -- I'm afraid that it'll make me remember what I did to you. What -- what? You didn't -- you didn't refute me hurting you this time. What --
Emily: Maybe it's because I don't think that it helps you accept the fact that I'm dead or convinces you that you didn't hurt me.
Nikolas: Oh, god -- I want Patrick to help me. I want whatever this thing is that's stuck in my head, that's turning me into an animal, removed. Once it's gone, I want to -- I want to go on a long trip with just you and Spencer. Yeah. We can -- we can go down the seine under the Eiffel Tower in the spring, the fjords in the summer, Aspen in the fall. Can you see us there, Emily?
Lulu: What's wrong?
Johnny: First of all, it's the fact that we need to get out of here and you need to stay out of my life.
Lulu: I didn't arrange my own kidnaping to throw myself at you.
Johnny: That's exactly my point. I want you, Lulu -- hey, what guy in his right mind wouldn't? But whatever does happen between us, I want it to be real. And these conditions -- these are not real, and I don't want us to do anything that we would regret in them. If or when we're together, I don't want it to be because of some 200-year-old rum or we have nowhere else to go. But you should go, all right? Go to Logan.
Lulu: Don't tell me what to do.
Johnny: He told me he's in love with you. You don't seem like the kind of girl that would take that lightly, and what kind of guy would I be to get in the middle of that -- as much as I want to.
Lulu: Oh, my -- you need a doctor.
Johnny: Whew.
Johnny: I'm fine.
Lulu: The door.
Spinelli: Blond one? I --
Lulu: Oh, thank you for helping Johnny and Logan find me.
Spinelli: Yeah.
Johnny: Where is Logan?
Spinelli: Um -- he's awaiting us by the front wall.
Johnny: Can you get back to him? You know the way back?
Spinelli: Yeah, I -- I do.
Lulu: Did you leave a trail?
Spinelli: I just -- I just got hungry -- but I do know the way.
Johnny: Are you sure you can get Lulu back to him in time -- on your own?
Lulu: Why? Aren't you coming with us?
Kate: Oh, all these streets -- every Saturday night, so noisy, Sunday morning, completely quiet, right?
Kate: Lamppost -- Mary Minucci, big hair, trying to crack her gum like her mother told her all the girls did when they were young. Oh -- and then every street corner -- every street corner had food, if it was a restaurant or a bakery or someone's house that should've been a restaurant.
Sonny: You want to know what I remember?
Sonny: I remember trying to figure out every way I could to hide from my stepfather. Because I got to tell -- he had eyes on every block, so you know what I did?
Sonny: I just moved further and further and further in the shadows.
Kate: Mm-hmm -- where you met Joe Scully.
Sonny: I would try to figure out every shortcut -- fire escape, bins, barrels -- even the -- the trunk of a car once. I could get to any place from here, except to you. This is where I -- I laid it all out on the line for you.
Kate: Sonny, is this where --
Sonny: The night -- yeah, where we agreed to meet that night. And we were going to run off together? I waited a long time that night. And here you are.
Patrick: Hey. I have some test results.
Nikolas: Ok.
Patrick: I've got good news and I've got bad news.
Nikolas: I'm ready.
Patrick: The tumor is slightly larger which makes it easier to study, but it's putting pressure on the part of the brain that's normally associated with dreams and neuron receptors that respond to hallucinogenic drugs.
Nikolas: What does -- I'm -- I'm not following.
Patrick: I'm getting a little ahead of myself here. Let me start from the beginning. Are you seeing things that defy plausibility or rational explanation?
Nadine: Ah -- uh -- so?
Leyla: Now I'm that type of girl.
[Nadine laughs]
Kelly: Do you have a minute?
Robin: Uh -- just one. I -- I have a consultation. Why? Did you find something unexpected in my latest set of tests?
Kelly: You might say that. You're pregnant.
Lulu: Logan -- oh, thank god you're ok.
Man: Look who found their way
Man: Look who found their way back. You know, there are rats in those tunnels -- big ones.
Kate: Hmm. It doesn't look the same.
Sonny: Feels the same.
Kate: Well, then maybe this isn't where we should be. Tonight has been a lot of fun, Sonny, and --
Sonny: What do you -- what do you mean? I mean, we've -- we've been doing a lot of talking about who we were, who we thought we were going to be.
Kate: Mm-hmm.
Sonny: Right? So --
Kate: And a lot's changed.
Sonny: Yeah, but, look -- I mean, this place is still a place, right, as far as places go? But there -- you know -- there are things that are inside, you know, like a lot of heart, a lot of laughter -- I mean, maybe not so much in me. I can still hear your -- your little shrieking voice, you know? "Stay away from me, come get me." I -- I used to chase you between the delivery trucks and then I'd feel your heart pounding when I would hold you against my chest, you know? Oh, man. It's a beautiful thing.
Kate: I was a very good Sacred Heart's girl.
Sonny: Yeah, I can't believe we didn't go all the way -- why, because I was like the devil?
Kate: There was a lot of temptation, let me tell you.
[Sonny laughs]
Sonny: But you know what?
Sonny: Forget all that, you know? It's -- it's a lot of wasted time wondering what could've happened, and I don't want to do that anymore -- especially about the past or the future.
Kate: What are you doing?
Sonny: What does it look like I'm doing?
Kelly: You're a good four weeks along. Patrick: We can find a way to remove the tumor. Nikolas: If they do take it out, I lose you. I have to make a choice. Sonny: Will you marry me?
Jan 21, 2008 11:09
Monday, Jan. 21, 2008 Part 1
Robin: If this is your idea of a joke, Kelly --
Kelly: I -- I swear, swear --
Robin: This is not funny.
Kelly: No, I already double-checked.
Robin: Say there's been a mistake.
Kelly: Under the circumstances, I am as surprised as you are.
Robin: Just say anything other than the fact that --
Kelly: You're pregnant.
Robin: I'm pregnant?
Kelly: You're pregnant. You're a good four weeks along, which would put conception --
Robin: Oh -- around Christmas?
Kelly: So is there something or somebody you haven't told me about?
Patrick: Let me start from the beginning. Are you seeing things that defy plausibility or rational explanation? The last test results point to a condition that occurs in very few patients. But because of how the tumor is pressing on the brain, it can cause very vivid hallucinations.
Nikolas: So you're saying that I could -- I could see unexplained things?
Patrick: Are you seeing things, Nikolas?
Nikolas: Would you close the door, please?
Patrick: I'm expecting Robin.
Nikolas: Would you please just close the door?
Patrick: Yeah.
Nikolas: I don't want people to know about this.
Regina: The way Mr. Cassadine went after that guy with a bomb strapped to his chest --
Elizabeth: Well, at least the bomb turned out not to be real.
Regina: Well, Mr. Cassadine didn't know that. It's like something just snapped in him since his fiancée was murdered. It's like he doesn't care if he lives or dies -- sad really.
Elizabeth: I just want this whole thing to be over, and I'm glad it is and Nikolas is getting the care he needs. I still don't understand why I had to be transferred to a room. I just want to get Jake and go home.
Leo: I'm afraid that's not going to happen.
Max: Jason?
Max: We got a problem. A Zacchara supply ship was spotted coming down from the border, using one of our shipping lanes. If the boss finds out about this, he's going to lose his mind, and if he finds out that we didn't do anything about it --
Jason: Take -- take it out, just like they took ours out.
Logan: Look, you're making this situation more complicated than it needs to be. Why don't you just let the girl go?
Man: She's the insurance policy.
Logan: She's no use to you now!
Man: Neither of you are. Enjoy the ride.
[Kate chuckles]
Kate: You're being silly.
Sonny: No, I'm not. I'm -- I'm being dead serious. You love me, right?
Kate: Sonny --
Sonny: You love me, right?
Kate: Yes.
Sonny: And I love you, so we can't let stuff get in our way -- your world, my world. This is our world. We can't be touched. We can just be ourselves, be in love, think about what we're going to do for the rest of our lives. Now, I don't want to have to ask this twice. Kate Howard, Connie Falconeri, will you please do me the honor of being my wife?
Robin: I just don't know how this happened.
Kelly: Ok, you obviously have reasons for wanting to keep the details to yourself, but I would categorize this as happy news. You wanted to be pregnant.
Robin: I wanted to be pregnant my way -- you know, just controlled. I -- I -- I don't understand this.
Kelly: Assuming we rule out a virgin birth, there are a limited number of explanations. You either went to a sperm bank, had unprotected sex --
Robin: I -- what? No, I wouldn't do that. I wouldn't be irresponsible.
Kelly: Ok, well, then it's door number three -- you had sex. I'm thinking vigorous, mind-blowing, sexy, sexy sex.
Robin: Ok, wait, you can just stop.
Kelly: Ok, well -- hey, allow me a little bit of vicarious pleasure -- I am a recovering sex addict, thank you. So, while this guy was rocking your world, the condom broke, or it was defective
Robin: Defective?
Kelly: Yeah. You remember when the Quartermaines were in a hell of a mess not that long ago -- one of their companies was cranking out defective condoms? If you can prove that it was one of theirs --
Robin: Oh, come on, I'm not going to sue anyone.
Kelly: Hey, either way, you have a moral obligation to tell this guy that he was put at risk --
Robin: Right, but I --
Kelly: Even though your viral lode is at undetectable levels. And there's also the fact that he's going to be a father --
Robin: There's that.
Kelly: Provided you want him to know.
[Pager beeps]
Kelly: Oh -- I have an emergency. We need to set up an appointment so we can discuss your prenatal regimen.
Robin: Ok.
Nikolas: So, how real could these hallucinations get?
Patrick: Very. In rare but extreme cases, people not only claim that they see things, that they can smell them, touch them.
Nikolas: Oh. Well, even -- even like other people, say?
Patrick: There's a case on record of a woman that says she could see her husband, communicate with him. She was having a conversation with him one time about her daughter. When the phone rang, she picked it up, it was her husband, saying he was going to be late from work. She looked up, and he was gone.
Nikolas: Oh.
Patrick: She kept seeing him on the streets, in stores. She was convinced she was having premonitions of his death or hers. You can imagine how difficult it would be.
Nikolas: Yeah, I know.
Patrick: I'm convinced the psycho-emotional component intensifies the illusion -- like he was the love of her life. For you, you have the rage episodes, the blackouts, not to mention the drugs that jerry was injecting into you. Nikolas, are you experiencing any of the things that I'm describing?
Robin: Sorry I'm late. I just had an emergency -- consultation. So, what -- where are we on this?
Nikolas: Patrick was just telling me that this tumor could cause me to -- to see things that aren't really there.
Robin: That's right -- I -- I just went over Patrick's notes. So, I wanted to talk to you about a possible experimental drug treatment, which would be based on the hormones that were released in your blood during one of your --
Nikolas: That's -- that's fine. I just -- I want to get back to the hallucination thing for a moment. If I do start to see things, how long will it last?
Leo: You cut yourself pretty bad.
Elizabeth: Yes, and I was able to get Jake and drive him to the hospital.
Leo: Yep -- adrenaline's quite an amazing thing, isn't it? I don't have to tell you, though -- you're a nurse. As soon as it was done, though, you collapsed.
Elizabeth: Yeah, well, but Jake -- he just needs to be home.
Leo: But the good news is, is that he's in good health, he's ready to go home -- and you're not, so --
Elizabeth: I'll be careful.
Leo: Huh. Yeah, you -- you crawled into -- into broken glass and into a burning building, so I don't think I'll take your word on that.
Elizabeth: I'm going to get my grandmother to help me.
Leo: And you'd still end up doing too much, super mom. Look, you got to be careful not to risk opening up those stitches.
Elizabeth: How long?
Leo: A few days. That's it, I promise. In the meantime, make arrangements with your baby's father to come pick up your son.
Spinelli: Stone Cold?
Jason: What?
Spinelli: Your "protector of the night" services are much needed.
Jason: What happened?
Jerry: Are you sure?
Man: It was a one-man rescue party. I found the monk's hood the guy stole in the tunnel
Jerry: What tunnel?
Man: The one behind the hole.
Jerry: What hole?
Man: The one the girl knocked through the wall in her room.
Jerry: You're a bodyguard, finch. I think it's inherent in your job description to know who knocked down a wall to escape, don't you think?
Finch: I caught them both. What do you want me to do with them?
Jerry: That will depend on the actions of Mr. Zacchara, Finch.
Kate: Um -- being back here has stirred up a lot of memories. I think you're getting caught up in them.
Sonny: Only the -- the ones of you. I mean, yeah, this -- this -- you know, the neighborhood has cleaned up, brightened up, but there's a lot here that's hidden, that keeps wanting to pull me down, and I know that can't happen if I'm with you. Nothing can compare to us just being -- being happy together.
Kate: Sonny, this is very impulsive.
Sonny: No, no, it's not. The old restaurant, the movie theater -- this -- this is a place where you -- you left me waiting for you one night, heart in my hand. But I will say this. This night has a purpose.
Sonny: I don't want you to be afraid of my life, and I don't want you to think that I can't fit into yours. You ran away a long time ago. We had a chance to be together, but you know what? Maybe that was for a reason. Maybe it was to -- to -- to figure out what was really important. I don't need a machine to send out fortunes telling me where I should be, who I should be with. I know where I want to go, and I know who I want to be with. You have my heart.
Kate: And you have mine, too, Sonny.
Sonny: Then let me put a ring on your finger and make it official. I want -- I want this to be real, I want the whole world to know how I feel, but I'm not -- look, I -- I don't know how many times I'm going to be able to ask you this. Will you marry me?
Kate: I don't know what to say.
Sonny: Well, I mean, I could think of something short and sweet, to the point.
Kate: Oh, Sonny, it's not that simple.
Sonny: Yeah, it is. To me it is. My brother was dying at Wyndemere, and you -- and you talked my good side into giving him a transfusion to save his life. You know what? You saved my life, too.
Kate: Sonny, that good side was always there, I didn't do anything.
Sonny: But it hasn't come out in a long time, and -- and you brought it out. Now -- this is my second time on this corner, now, offering you my heart and soul. I'm not going to beg you. So, if you can't say yes, don't bother saying no.
[Kate whimpers]
Robin: I'm sorry, I just walked in on this. Are you having hallucinations?
Nikolas: I don't -- I don't know. Maybe I am and don't know it, or -- or I just don't want to accept them as that. In any case, are they -- are they permanent?
Patrick: Well, that's the good news -- if we can find a way with drug therapy to shrink the tumor or a viable way to remove it --
Nikolas: Well, the doctor in Zurich wouldn't even consider operating.
Patrick: Well, Nikolas, Lippmann's good, but he isn't me, and doesn't have Robin on his team. I won't consider surgery unless I can find a way to manage the risks. I believe if we work together, we can find a way to shrink the tumor and remove it, and the hallucinations will stop.
Nikolas: And what if I don't do anything at all?
Robin: Well, we have to do something, Nikolas, or -- well, you could die.
Nikolas: I need to have a moment alone, please.
Patrick: Mm-hmm.
Robin: Of course.
Robin: Ahem.
Robin: Yeah, uh --
Patrick: You get checked out since your fall?
Robin: Yes, I did.
Patrick: Ok. And?
Robin: And -- uh -- all things considered, looks like I'm healthy enough for two.
Patrick: Ok, good.
Robin: Wait.
Patrick: Yeah?
Robin: I'll catch up with you later.
Robin: Whew.
[Knock on door]
Lucky: I have somebody here who wants to see you.
Elizabeth: Jake.
Lucky: Who's that?
Elizabeth: Hey, buddy! Hi! Do you miss mommy? Hi!
Lucky: The doctors say he's doing great.
Elizabeth: Oh, good.
Lucky: I didn't need them to tell me the reason is because you acted so quickly. I've seen enough smoke victims to know what you did was truly amazing.
Elizabeth: Well, I did what any parent would've done.
Lucky: Jason stop by to see you and Jake?
Elizabeth: No, uh-uh.
Lucky: Well, it's probably too hard to see the two of you, especially after the agreement we made.
Elizabeth: Well, I know it's hard for you being the father of record, being the one they're always going to call.
Lucky: You know, Jake -- he may not be mine, but it doesn't mean I wouldn't do anything to make sure he's ok.
Elizabeth: I'm glad to hear you say that, because I have a favor to ask.
Logan: Yeah, I should've gone with my instincts on this one, but I didn't. No, I had to tell Tracy and everybody else I ran across that I hadn't seen you. You just needed some space, you went to go see your mother. Then we get the message off spinhead's voicemail --
Lulu: Johnny told me.
Logan: He found you?
Lulu: Yeah.
Logan: I wanted to go to the cops, Spinelli wanted to go to Jason.
Lulu: Johnny knows what he's doing.
Logan: Does he? Johnny is the reason you've been kidnapped, ok? I'm pretty sure that whatever is on this boat, it's not legal. When we get out of here -- and we will get out of here -- I'm having Johnny arrested.
Lulu: No! If you go to the cops about Johnny, I will never speak to you again. I mean it.
Logan: Just how friendly did you two get in that tunnel?
Emily: You didn't want me here.
Nikolas: No.
Emily: Why? What did Patrick tell you?
Nikolas: You don't know?
Emily: I think I have an idea.
Nikolas: He says that you're just a hallucination, a byproduct of the -- of the tumor that I have. But you know -- you know that you're -- that you're something else to me, right, something more? You -- you know that you're here because of my love for you, right?
Emily: I am. I am, Nikolas. Or maybe I'm both -- I don't know. So, what does it mean?
Nikolas: I have to make a choice.
Elizabeth: Dr. Julian wants me to stay a few extra days just to make sure my stitches don't tear open.
Lucky: That's good -- I mean, considering. I mean, most of the time they push patients out of here. I remember when Jake -- he was born, they tried --
Elizabeth: Yeah, Ms. Sneed -- she said she was going to kick him out the next day, and you put the fear of god into her.
Lucky: You know, I meant what I said, I'd do anything for that little boy. I'd have gone into that house after him without a second thought.
Elizabeth: I know. Well, this favor doesn't involve rushing into burning buildings, but it's a lot for me to ask. Cameron's really freaked out. He doesn't know what's happened to me, and Jake has been through more than he can possibly understand. Gram has offered to take them, but I --
Lucky: No, it's ok. They're my sons -- not just on paper, and not just because of an agreement. You know what? I'll take a few days off, I'll watch them until you're back on your feet.
Jason: I want you to cancel the raid on the Zacchara ship until I give you word.
Max: Jason, our window of opportunity is closing.
Jason: Lulu Spencer is onboard, ok? Get a boat ready for me. Now, what else can you tell me?
Spinelli: Lulu said that there is a mysterious product aboard the ship for the elusive Mr. Moreau. He -- he's forcing Johnny Z into transporting it by kidnapping the fair one.
Jason: Where did Johnny go?
Spinelli: Said to take care of the shipment?
Lulu: There is no point in talking about Johnny -- you don't like him, and that's that.
Logan: You're damn right I don't like him. His family's in the business of drugs and violence. His father went out to kill you and almost did -- after goring the D.A. and a few other guests, not to mention bringing on your father's heart attack.
Lulu: Should I judge you by your father?
Logan: Nice, Lulu. Well, you know what? I may not like my old man, but as far as records go, I'm pretty sure his is a lot cleaner than Anthony Zacchara's -- not to mention saner. You think you know Johnny? You don't. You only know what that guy wants you to know, and that's what he uses to draw you in. And as soon as you're close enough, I guarantee you he will take advantage of you.
Lulu: No, he won't. Johnny doesn't want to see me get hurt.
Logan: Is that why you keep staring at that door over there? You think he's going to come to your rescue, Lulu? It's not going to happen. I am completely relaxed.
Jan 21, 2008 11:12
Young Sonny's voice: Whoa, Connie. You're spilling popcorn and chocolate raisins all over the place -- what are you doing?
Young Kate's voice: You make me nervous.
Young Sonny's voice: Why?
Young Kate's voice: 'Cause you look at me and I get all lost or something.
Young Sonny's voice: Don't worry, you can go ahead and get lost. I'll always find you, if you want me to.
Young Kate's voice: I want you to. Take my hand, and don't let go.
Sonny: Bernie? I got a job for you. Uh -- I don't care how many people you have to get out of bed, or where you get the money. Cash offer, nobody refuse -- did you hear what I said? Nobody refuses.
Nikolas: I didn't tell Patrick about you.
Emily: Does it matter?
Nikolas: Yes, it matters. It matters because he'll dismiss you, and people will talk about you like you don't even exist. But I know better. See, I -- I can see you, I can -- I can touch you, I can feel you.
Emily: Nikolas, you said you have a choice.
Nikolas: Yeah. They said -- they said if I don't find ways to manage the tumor or if I don't have it removed completely, then -- then I die. But if they do take it out, I lose you. So I -- I don't really have a choice, right?
Emily: No.
Nikolas: I mean -- I mean, I can't lose you.
Emily: Nikolas, you have to. If you don't, you're going to die.
Nikolas: No, no, no, I can't -- I can't let you go.
Emily: Well, then I have to let you go.
Nikolas: No, don't -- don't say that -- you can't!
Emily: Nikolas, I want you to live.
Nikolas: There is no life without you, you understand?
Emily: You'll find one. Close your eyes.
Nikolas: No. No. Don't -- please don't go. Please don't do this -- don't do this to me. You can't leave me. Please, you love me. Please don't.
Emily: Of course I do. Close your eyes.
Nikolas: Ok. Ok. You won't be able to stay away from me.
Nikolas: I won't let you stay away from me.
Nikolas: I won't let you -- no.
Jerry: Come on. Things don't always go according to plan.
Man: You're losing your touch.
Jerry: "The best laid schemes of mice and men gang aft a-gley."
Man: Spare me the Robert Burns.
Jerry: We adjust.
Man: You won't like the adjustments I'll make if you blow this transport.
Jerry: It's about containment now, it's too late to turn back. Unless you want to dump the whole shipment in the river?
Man: Fix it. I did you a large favor a few years back. It can just as easily be undone.
Johnny: What?
Jerry: [French accent] This is Mr. Moreau. Seeing as how the shipment is cruising past Port Charles, I thought it would be a good time to let you know that we --
Johnny: Your shipment's going to the bottom of the river. Nobody forces me into anything.
Jerry: [Normal voice] Brat! Some people need to learn the hard way.
Lulu: How'd you do that?
Logan: Thank the American taxpayer.
Logan: Just something I picked up in Iraq.
Finch: Shoot the girl!
[Gunshot]
Lulu: You brought Jason!
Johnny: I had no idea you were on this ship --
Jason: You guys can sort this out later, we got to go!
Logan: Come on.
Lulu: Now what are you doing?
Johnny: Go.
Lulu: No -- no, I --
Johnny: Get her out of here.
Jason: You know what you're doing, right?
Johnny: Yeah.
Jason: We got to move now.
Moose: Hey, what's going on? I heard you just bought the place.
Moose: What's this?
Sonny: Moving expenses. There's a place in Miami called cafe reef. You always said you wanted to get out of here, right, Moose?
Moose: Yeah, but it's -- it's hard -- a place I've always called home. I mean, it gets inside of ya.
Sonny: Like a cancer.
Moose: What?
Sonny: Get your family, get out of the neighborhood -- it's a lot colder than I remember.
Moose: Are you ok?
Sonny: I'm fine, fine. I've -- I've been better. I want you -- you need to go ahead and leave, though, ok?
Moose: Yeah, ok, sure. Hey, uh, who was that lady you were here with? I'm sure I know her.
Sonny: Yeah. I thought I knew her, too, but it looks like I didn't really know her at all.
Moose: The place -- what are you going to do, renovate or something?
Sonny: Yep, something like that.
Leo: You look drained.
Patrick: Something like that. Unexpected complications.
Leo: Was it surgery?
Patrick: Leyla.
Leo: I thought you two were done.
Patrick: Yeah, so did I. She pages me, asks me to meet her. I show up, she's got a jacket on and -- and nothing else.
Leo: Oh, god, you're killing me, man.
Patrick: She was doing things that I -- she was a different woman.
Leo: Well, you sound like you're complaining.
Patrick: Confused.
Leo: Well, it's pretty obvious that she was just trying to show you what you could be missing. I mean, are you -- are you and
Patrick: No.
Leo: So who says you can't accept what she has to offer if she's going to keep, you know, offering it to you?
Patrick: No one.
Leo: It's not like you lack opportunities with her and the other nurses around here anyway. But, hey, it's good you had me run those H.I.V. tests earlier after you spent the night with Robin. Now you can let her know that you're not infected, even though the condom broke, and everything will be fine.
Patrick: Yeah, now that I know I'm not infected, I think it's better I don't say anything. At least, that way we don't have to have that awkward conversation about what happened that night, what it meant -- what it didn't mean.
Leo: Yep. I hear you, man. I completely understand where you're coming from. You and Robin get together after Georgie's funeral -- grief sex, that whole thing.
Patrick: Your term, not mine.
Leo: Huh. And it's pretty obvious you still love Robin, you know that.
Patrick: I've never denied that. She wants kids, I don't. She's going to go to the sperm bank, she's going to get pregnant, that's going to be the final nail in the coffin, then -- and I can finally move on.
Robin: Kelly -- uh -- about my pregnancy --
Kelly: Oh, yeah. I'll be able to give you more answers after I've given you a full exam.
Robin: Ok, I just don't want anyone to know just yet, ok?
Kelly: Sure, but -
Robin: The guy that I was with -- he was tested and he's ok.
Kelly: Well, that's good news. So, did you break the other good news? Does he know he's going to be a father?
Robin: No, he doesn't -- need to know right now.
Finch: Agh!
Johnny: Oh --
Spinelli: Stone Cold, you did it, you rescued fair Lulu -- and him -- um, but I -- I saw some minions of darkness lurking around the docks.
Jason: It's not safe here.
Lulu: What about Johnny?
Jason: Johnny can take care of himself.
Lulu: Why'd he stay on the ship?
[Explosion]
Singer: Depression looms I'm such a miserable fool I stay in bed I don't wanna go to school but I see the sun is beating down there's no excuses from the clouds I should get up I should go out I'm sure there's something I can't do without I should get up I should get up I should get up I've heard it said that life will pass you by live underground pretty soon that's where you lie I feel so warm in my room I'm safe and sound inside my tomb and I should get up I should go out I'm sure there's something I can't do without I should get up I should get up I should get up the world goes on without me I know it I know it no one misses the quiet kid
Singer: There are things I may have missed living ignorant is bliss and I'm so wrapped up in myself I got no time for everyone else oh, and I should get up I should go out I'm sure there's something I can't do without I should get up I should get up I should get up I should go out I'm sure there's something I can't do without I should get up I should get up I should get up oh, oh
>> On the next "general hospital" --
Sam: I've really missed you. Carly: I may look into having you declared an unfit mother. Jason: Leave Elizabeth alone. Mac: I will find her killer. Officer: The D.N.A. test came back from the lab.
Jan 22, 2008 10:37
Mac: That D.N.A. test is going to I.D. my daughter's killer. Find whatever rock Johnny Zacchara crawled under, and get ready to make the arrest when the results come in.
Det. Harper: If Johnny Zacchara's D.N.A. matches the skin cells they took from under Georgie's fingernails, I will personally hunt him down, Mac. But you -- you need to keep some distance. You don't want to do anything that will jeopardize this conviction.
Mac: I'll settle for justice.
Mac: You already pulled your shift. What are you still doing here?
Coop: Well, I decided to stay a couple hours and cover for Lucky -- he's taking a few personal days.
Mayor Floyd: A maniac held the hospital emergency room hostage. I want to know what the D.A. is doing to make sure that he's put behind bars.
Mac: Ric seems to be unreachable.
Mayor Floyd: Well. In that case, maybe you should be appointed as special prosecuting attorney.
Scott: I think that's a good idea -
Alexis: Yeah, well, that won't be necessary, because Ric's asked me to fill in for him as D.A. while he's out of town, and I think that's probably a good idea. From what I can see, you two are not the solution, you're the problem.
Scott: Oh -
Mayor Floyd: Great.
Lulu: Well, I was on the docks last night and I saw -- um -- an accident, and I was wondering if -- there was this guy -- early 20s, dark hair -- was he in the E.R.?
Leyla: I don't remember anyone matching that description.
Lulu: He -- he could've been hurt really badly, so bad that he didn't even know what happened.
Leyla: No. I'm sorry.
Tracy: I needed a lift. So, did you happen to know that your father skipped out of the hospital just before he was going to be released?
Tracy: In his condition -- particularly after the hatchet job that Monica did on him -- he's not going to make it five miles -- five blocks if he passes a liquor store or a strip club.
Lulu: I can't believe he did this.
Tracy: I can't, either. How was your visit with your mother?
Lulu: It was fine. Hmm.
Tracy: Really?
Tracy: The facility said you never showed up. Where were you?
Logan: She was with me.
Elizabeth: I feel wrung out.
Leo: How did you sleep?
Elizabeth: I didn't.
Leo: You know, I can give you something if you want, like, a light sedative might help.
Elizabeth: No, no, I -- I doze off and I have these dreams, and I just feel like something terrible is going to happen. I don't -- I don't want to sleep.
Leo: Look, you need some rest.
Elizabeth: What I need is to get my mind off of things. Can I at least get some paper and a pencil, something?
Leo: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's not a problem. I'll see what I can scrounge up for you.
Elizabeth: It is the 22nd, isn't it?
Carly: Now, you know damn well it is.
Leo: All right, well, you rest, and I'll -- I'll be back in a bit.
Elizabeth: Hmm, thanks.
Carly: As if you needed to ask. I'm sure you've been counting down the days. Yes, it's Jason's birthday, and I know the perfect present for him, what he would like more than anything -- to spend it with his son.
Sam: Lucky?
Lucky: I'll be right there.
Sam: Uh -- I -- I hope you don't mind me just walking in like this. Hi.
Sam: It's -- it's just been a while since we've had a chance to talk, and I was thinking that maybe if you're not busy -
Lucky: Well, actually, I kind of got my hands full.
Jason: What do you want?
Trevor: You got five seconds to tell me where Johnny is -- and he better be alive.
Logan: Hi. Lulu and I wanted to spend some time alone, and that's why I made that story up about her going to see her mother. And it was great, a great time.
Lulu: Yeah, yeah, like no other time we've had together. But I feel really bad. Maybe I -- I could've been here and talked my dad out of it.
Logan: Has anyone ever been able to talk that man out of doing anything?
Lulu: No, but this time it's different. He's in really bad shape, and -- and given the places that he goes, he could really be hurt and no one would even know.
Tracy: Well, it's not going to happen again -- and you need to start coming home.
Lulu: She's right about that part.
Logan: Well, Lulu, I just wanted to stop by and see if you were ok. I know you didn't get a lot of sleep at my place last night. Every time I woke up, you were staring out the window -- then you were gone.
Lulu: I wanted to see my dad.
Logan: Or you wanted to come see if Johnny made it to the E.R.
Lulu: That, too.
Logan: I still think we should go to the cops, Lulu.
Lulu: I said no. We listen to Jason, and we leave it alone.
Logan: Yeah, well, if you're going to do that, it's going to require you leaving Johnny on his own. Can you do that?
Jerry: Well, hello. I was looking for -
Woman: Whatever it is, we got your bases covered.
Jerry: I'm sure you do, darling.
Woman: Hmm.
Man: Come in. Jade was just leaving.
Woman: It's Jasmine.
Man: What I paid, I can call you anything I want.
Jerry: And what does she call you?
Man: I think the word "god" escaped her lips a few times.
Man: What should I call you? "Jerry"? "Mr. Moreau"? "Mr. Craig"?
Jerry: Why don't we skip the name-calling altogether?
Man: Or why don't I just call you what you are -- complete and utter disappointment?
Jason: I don't know where Johnny is.
Trevor: That's not the answer I was looking for.
[Guns cock]
Max: How's this for an answer?
Trevor: Put it down. A Zacchara ship was blown up in the harbor last night.
Jason: That's right -- traveling illegally through our lanes.
Trevor: Maybe the captain thought that he was in neutral waters.
Jason: Or maybe you thought you'd sneak something through while Sonny was out of town.
Trevor: My sources tell me that somebody matching your description was onboard that ship right up until the time it exploded. Are they wrong?
Jason: My sources say that you had a kidnapped girl and her boyfriend on the ship. Are they wrong?
Trevor: I don't know anything about that.
Jason: I didn't set any explosions.
Trevor: Johnny's still missing.
Jason: Maybe he doesn't want to be found. We're done.
Trevor: If that kid is harmed -
Jason: You pushed him into this, Trevor. You're the one who did it, Johnny wants peace.
Trevor: You're wrong. Johnny wants to give you and your boss the benefit of the doubt, because he knows that you attacked that ship -
Jason: Maybe you didn't hear me. We're done.
Trevor: Oh, no, sir. We're just getting started.
Jason: I want you to keep searching for Johnny Zacchara.
Max: Well, is it such a bad thing if he never shows up again?
Jason: You still see him as the enemy, Max?
Max: Jason, so does the boss.
Jason: I see him as a kid trying to fight his way out of his dad's reputation -- that's what I see.
Sam: Oh, no. No, I woke him up. I didn't mean to make things more difficult for you -- any more difficult than I already have.
Lucky: No, he hasn't slept more than an hour since I brought him straight home from the hospital.
Sam: Well, I think that's to be expected. You know, he -- he had smoke inhalation and -- it's no wonder -
Lucky: You know what? I drove him around, you know? It always used to work getting him to sleep as a last resort. But I couldn't even get him to sleep. I swear, I must've put 300 miles my car, sung every lullaby I know. Yeah.
Sam: Hi. Well, I think he's probably a little unsettled being shuffled around so much.
Lucky: Yeah, well, every child needs to know where his home is. That's what my mom always used to tell my dad. She was always determined to make sure -- sure that Lulu didn't grow up restless -- you know, always on the run like I did. She used to, like, take one of my dad's shirts like this -- oh -- and then she'd wrap her up and rub on her back, take her around, take her over to her crib, show her her toys, all the familiar things in the house. See, this -- this is your crib. These are all your toys, and this is your home -- a place you can always come back to, a place you'll always feel safe.
Sam: This is probably really, really bad timing, given everything, but, Lucky, I have really missed you.
Elizabeth: We've already been over this.
Carly: We're going to keep going over it until I convince Jason to go after custody of his son.
Elizabeth: I told you -- Jason, Lucky, and I all came to an agreement.
Carly: That's because you talked them into doing what you wanted them to do.
Elizabeth: To keep Jake safe from Jason's enemies.
Carly: I'm sorry, but how is he safe with you, given that he almost died in a fire? How did that happen on your watch?
Elizabeth: Does it really matter, Carly?
Carly: Yeah, it does. See, I've done some checking. Turns out that your first bastard son obviously likes to play with matches, and given you got yourself stuck outside, while Jason's son was stuck upstairs in the crib while the house was catching on fire.
Elizabeth: Don't you think I feel bad enough as it is?
Carly: No, I don't, at all. So when I corner a lawyer to fight for custody, I may look into having you declared an unfit mother and have your son taken from you -- permanently.
Felicia: I have been going over the list of suspects who were attacked by this so-called text message killer.
Mac: I don't want you doing this.
Felicia: I want to. I have to, Mac. I failed my daughters -- one of them is dead, and the other one wishes that I were. I have to do this -- you don't have to worry about me.
Mac: Felicia -
Felicia: No, listen to me. I'm -- I'm not going to let grief cloud my judgment.
Mac: You're not listening to me. I said I do not want you doing this.
Trevor: Alexis? Could we please go somewhere private and talk?
Alexis: I'm sorry, you're going to have to take a seat. And I know that one of your ships blew up in the harbor last night. I don't think you want us to scrutinize that "accident" too closely, do you?
Trevor: I'm looking for my son.
Ric: This house was in my family for generations.
Woman: Oh. It's beautiful.
Ric: You live here?
Woman: Oh, no, I -- I live outside of town. I just check on the place for the owners, pick up whatever mail comes.
Ric: So I guess they're out of town, huh?
Woman: They use it mostly for summer and holidays. Seems such a waste to have something so beautiful and ignored. It's sad inside.
Ric: Yeah, I'd probably have to agree with you.
Lulu: Johnny? Johnny? Johnny! Johnny? Oh -- Johnny? Wake up.
Carly: Hey, Michael.
Michael: Hey.
Carly: Morgan upstairs doing his homework?
Michael: Uh -- I guess so.
Carly: Did you help him wrap Jason's birthday present?
Michael: No, I had things to do.
Jax: Look, we had this talk. You know, he's your brother.
Michael: He's a baby, and I'm not going to be able to take care of him while he's doing baby things. I have my own stuff to do.
Carly: So are you going to show up for Jason's birthday party, or is that just baby stuff?
Michael: I don't know. Jason isn't really into that kind of stuff anyways.
Carly: Wow. Who's that kid, and what has he done with my son?
Jax: He's growing up -- something his mother might consider.
Carly: Really? You've been saving that one up on the silent car ride home?
Jax: I thought you were done meddling with this whole situation with Jason and his son.
Carly: I never said that.
Jax: Anyway, I thought we were concentrating on making our own baby.
Carly: You know what? I can do both.
Jax: Yeah, but you shouldn't Jake is not your child.
Carly: Jason's my best friend, ok?
Jax: Yeah, and Elizabeth is that boy's mother. You' got no right questioning her about this, you know, attacking her, especially while she's laid up in the hospital.
Jason: He's right.
Jan 22, 2008 10:40
Lulu: Johnny, wake up! Johnny, wake up! Wake up. Oh, my -- Johnny -- Johnny, thank god. Thank god, sit up. Can you sit up? Oh, I need to get you to a doctor -- ok.
Johnny: No. No doctors -- too many questions, get the police involved.
Lulu: Ok, then at least let me call Jason.
Johnny: I don't want you to get anybody, especially Jason.
Lulu: Well, he helped you. He came to the boat, remember?
Johnny: He came to the boat to bail out you and Logan.
Lulu: But he has people looking for you right now
. Johnny: I don't doubt that.
Lulu: Ok, Johnny, let me at least call Trevor.
Johnny: Trevor's the last person I want to see in this condition. I'll choke him when I see him for dragging you into this.
Lulu: You are out of options right now and you need medical attention. Just at least let me see what I can do for you -- some -
Lulu: Because I want to -- and you are in no position to argue with me.
[Jake cries]
[Elizabeth gasps]
Sam: Hey. Have you spoken to your brother or seen him?
Lucky: Well, I tried looking in on him, but he was off having a test and I don't want to crowd him, you know? But after the way he went off on the guy who was threatening to blow up the whole E.R. -
Sam: Yeah, about that guy, Lucky, Joe -- he really is a good guy.
Lucky: Right now he's a good guy who's in a whole lot of trouble.
Sam: Well, that happens to good people. I me, things happen and you get desperate and you do things that you normally wouldn't do, things that you know -- clearly know that aren't right.
Lucky: Are we still talking about Joe the mechanic?
Sam: Yes. I mean, of course. It's just that I -- I know Joe, I understand him. I know -- I know what it's like to struggle and never know when your next dollar is coming. I mean, you -- you just feel so lost, and suddenly you lash out, and you do things that you normally wouldn't do if you would've actually sat and thought it through. I know that you are really angry with me for telling Carly that Jake is really Jason's, and I just -- I really want to apologize, and I need you to know that I mean it. I really, really do. It's just that when it comes to Elizabeth and -- and Carly and Jason, I lose all perspective, and I just feel really hurt and angry, and I don't know why.
Lucky: Have you gotten that out of your system?
Sam: Wow. I mean, it would be nice, wouldn't it?
Lucky: Yeah, it would be.
Sam: I've -- I've got to go. Um -- I've got some scheduling to do for the show and I just -- I -- ahem.
Lucky: You know, if you don't mind mashed peas and canned ravioli, we could, you know, have a late-night dinner together.
Sam: Yeah, I would really like that.
Jason: I see you started telling everybody about Jake.
Carly: It's Jax -- he's not going to say anything.
Jason: I asked you to leave this alone for Jake's safety.
Carly: You're over an hour early for your birthday party.
Jason: You want to give me something for my birthday? Leave Elizabeth alone.
Carly: A new leather jacket would be more practical.
Jax: Yeah, and not to mention more lasting.
Jax: Oh, I've got to take this.
Jason: What is all this, Carly?
Carly: I think you should be with your son.
Jason: What is all this?
Carly: I don't know!
Jason: Yes, you do know! No matter how twisted your thinking gets, you know why you do something.
Jason: I have made peace with the fact that Elizabeth and Lucky should raise my son -
Carly: No.
Jason: For Jake's sake, Carly. Yes, it hurts me, but it can't be about me.
Carly: Yes, it can be -- and it should be. I know how badly you want to be a father, and now you have a child and you can't be? It's wrong! It's as unfair as Jax wanting to have a baby and me not being able to give him one!
Jason: So, what, you can't -- you can't give Jax a baby, so you're going to go get my baby for me -- is that what's going on?
Carly: Probably, yes, probably. That's it, right? And I'm sorry, Jason. I am sorry.
Jason: I -- I believe you mean that -- somewhere. What I don't believe is that you'll stop.
Woman: I'd let you in, but I -- I really don't know you.
Ric: It's -- it's ok. I'm not even really sure I want to go inside. I don't even really know what I'm doing here.
Woman: Yeah, I'd say you must have a lot of happy memories here, but I don't -
Ric: But what?
Woman: It's none of my business. People say I talk too much.
Ric: Well, it's ok. You're not with "people" right now, you're -- you're with me. What were you going to say?
Woman: Say that the house isn't the only thing that's sad inside. I forgot something, I --
Man: You let a band of hardy boys ruin everything. The Zacchara ship and all the product that I had onboard is at the bottom of the harbor.
Jerry: Oh, calm down -- I've done damage control. Finch is dead. Brother Franco at the monastery is on an extended leave of absence -- he won't return. No one else saw me, so the holes are being sealed up, and the abbot will deny any wrongdoing if the whole affair's investigated.
Man: What about the girl?
Jerry: Oh, she'll keep her mouth shut to protect Johnny Zacchara.
Man: The power of love. Fortunately, men like us are more interested in the love of power, which would win out if the two were pitted against each other.
Jerry: Spoken like a man who's never been in love.
Man: We'll need to start all over now. We need our own base of operation. What I'm doing is risky enough without getting more involved with people like Sonny Corinthos and the Zaccharas. Work on getting me those piers.
Jerry: You mean "us," don't you?
Man: Of course. For us, old friend -- for now.
Lulu: Hi. I heard what happened. It sounded awful, but you and Jake are ok?
Elizabeth: Yeah, yeah, we'll be ok. I just really miss him.
Lulu: I can see. Um -- I've -- I've also come by because I need a really big favor. It's complicated and personal. m -- I need something for somebody, but you can't ask a lot of questions.
Elizabeth: Well, you're going to have to give me some idea what it's about.
Lulu: Um -- somebody's hurt, and they can't see a doctor. I -- I can go to a store and I can get bandages, but I might need -
Elizabeth: Some antibiotics?
Elizabeth: Ok. Um, there's a supply closet in the E.R.
Lulu: That's all I took. I swear.
Elizabeth: Ok, that's fine. Just be careful, all right? And now I have a favor to ask of you -- and it's personal and complicated and you can't ask me any questions.
Lulu: Happy Birthday. And Happy Birthday from me, too.
Carly: What's going on?
Jax: A problem with the new hotel in Hawaii. The design may have to be altered, so I need to be there. I've already said goodbye to the boys, and, you know, I gave them a speech about behaving for you. But I'd keep a close eye on Michael, you know? He's -- something's up.
Carly: I'm sorry.
Jax: I haven't been out of the room that long. What could you possibly have done?
Carly: I'm sorry that I keep bouncing off the walls when I should be spending more time with you.
Jax: Look, we've managed to spend some quality time together.
Carly: Who knows -- when you come back, maybe we'll have good news.
Jax: Look, whatever happens, I love you. Don't forget that.
Carly: I love you, too. You going to tell me not to meddle?
Jax: Well -- um -- look, something's come up, I have to go. So -- Happy Birthday, and good luck.
Jason: All right.
Carly: I know how much you miss Emily, and I know that you would've done anything to save her and keep her in your life. I just don't want you to have any regrets about giving up your son.
Michael: Jason.
Morgan: Happy Birthday, Uncle Jason.
Jason: Hey, man! Thanks a lot. Come here -- oh, yeah.
Michael: Happy Birthday.
Jason: Thanks, bud. Let's go see what you got me here.
Michael: So, how long is Jax going to be gone?
Carly: Oh, I hope not too long.
Michael: Oh, you don't have to worry. I'll look after you.
Alexis: Ok, so you and the mayor can make a list of all your grievances, and I promise to look them over and put them in order of importance -- which means I'll probably get to you around may. Oh -- look at you. You've got your father's good looks, his charm. Now, if only you have his penchant for self-absorption, it's a trifecta.
Scott: Hey, pay no attention to that crackpot. Listen, I was going to call you.
Logan: Right, you got a job for me?
Scott: Well, I know that you don't want any handouts, so I've got to find something that's not going to make either one of us look bad.
Logan: What are you trying to say, Scott, I got no skills?
Scott: Well, you know, I don't really know that much about you, and I checked your records, and, you know, you kind of barely got out of high school.
Logan: So?
Scott: Well, so if you're trying to impress Lulu, you don't have to do that.
Logan: Oh, I'm supposed to do this to impress you?
Scott: No. What you're supposed to do is find something that you love to do for a job, and when you do, call me.
Mac: You didn't just walk out on the girls. You walked out on me, left me to raise those girls on my own. When they got sick, when they got in trouble, when they had their hearts broken, Felicia, I was the one who was there. I was out of my depths, and I got a lot of it wrong, but I was there! Now Georgie's dead, and I'm going to be the one who finds her killer.
Felicia: And I'm going to be the one to help you!
Mac: There was a time when I would've welcomed it. But I can't. Not now.
Trevor: Richard, this is your father speaking. Don't overestimate your bargaining position. Sure, Skye gave you those waterfront properties, but did she also give you the Alcazar organization to protect you? So, before you go public and tell everybody that you own those properties, perhaps making yourself a target, maybe you would like to call your father first.
Mr. Vaughn: There's no sign he was treated here, either.
Trevor: My gut instinct -- John probably had something to do with what happened last night.
Mr. Vaughn: You really think he blew up his own ship?
Trevor: Well, john is a wild and emotional guy. Then again, perhaps Moreau miscalculated when he kidnapped the girl and tried to force Johnny to toe the line.
Mr. Vaughn: So I guess we can kiss Moreau goodbye as an ally, huh?
Trevor: Not necessarily. Maybe we can still use John's unpredictability. The guy who really stands in our way is the clearheaded strategist -- Jason Morgan.
Mr. Vaughn: Dangerous guy to go after.
Trevor: Everybody's got his weak spot. So let's have some fun and find his.
Carly: He's going to hate the pink one.
[Carly chuckles]
Carly: What do you think?
Michael: He'll love the blue one.
Carly: Another green? Yeah.
Lucky: Say hello. Mrs. Ramirez -- she stopped by. She offered to take care of Cam so we could come by and visit you.
Elizabeth: Oh -- hi, baby! Oh, you have no idea how much I needed this. Mommy missed you so much. How's he sleeping?
Lucky: He was a little out of sorts at first.
Elizabeth: Hi, baby. Are you giving him the new formula?
Lucky: Yeah.
Elizabeth: Ok.
Lucky: You know, he was a little cranky from the hospital and everything that's happened. And then I remembered a little trick my mom used to use to get Lulu to go to sleep, a it did the trick.
Elizabeth: What about his medicine?
Lucky: Twice a day.
Lucky: Daddy's got it all covered -- right, Jake?
Lulu: Johnny? Johnny!
Officer: The D.N.A. test came back from the lab.
Mac: Thanks.
Scott: So who'd you run it against besides Zacchara?
Mac: We ran it through the system. If it doesn't match Johnny, it could match -
Scott: What's going -- what's wrong? What's the matter?
Mac: It's empty.
Scott: So somebody who was here today stole the results, Mac.
Mac: Not "somebody" -- my daughter's killer.
Alexis: Tell Kristina I'll bring her a pretzel home. Ok.
Leyla: I heard you had an emergency, Dr. Drake. Nikolas: I've made up my mind. I'm not having this operation. Jason: I want to be with my son. Elizabeth: Are you wanting to take Jake?
Jan 23, 2008 11:03
Kelly: It's like a tomb around here tonight.
Robin: I know, I like it that way sometimes -- it helps me think.
Kelly: Then think about making that appointment to come in and see me. You're pregnant, Robin. I know it didn't happen exactly the way you wanted --
Robin: I -- let's not talk about this in public. I just don't want anyone to know right now.
Patrick: Why are you keeping things from me?
Emily: I don't think you've thought this through.
Nikolas: Yes -- yes, I have. I know what's important, I -- I know I can't lose you. But if I have this operation, I'll never see you again.
Emily: You don't know that.
Nikolas: I can't risk it, I've made up my mind. I'm not having this operation. I'm not having this operation.
Elizabeth: What are you doing here?
Jason: I -- I had to see you.
Elizabeth: I'm so glad. I had to see you, too.
Lulu: Johnny? Johnny, what do you think you're doing? You're hurt, I told you to stay put.
Johnny: I heard somebody.
Lulu: Well, they could've followed you as easily as I did given the trail of blood that you left behind. Ok, you're going to be safe here.
Johnny: Where?
Lulu: In a place with more history than you know.
Maxie: Mac?
Mac: Coop's off duty.
Maxie: Well, I actually came to talk to you, if you've got a minute.
Mac: No, I don't. Look, the lab tests came back that could've fingered Johnny Zacchara -- or somebody else -- as Georgie's killer, but somebody took them.
Maxie: Somebody took the lab tests?
Mac: Yeah.
Maxie: But who would do that except for the killer?
Scott: That's right, Maxie -- which means it's somebody here in your department, Mac.
[Alexis screams]
Sam: Get off! Get off of her! Get off!
[Man grunts]
Sam: Alexis? Alexis? Please, are you ok? Help! Somebody, help! Oh, gosh -- you're ok.
[Alexis coughs]
Sam: Oh, good, you're ok. Oh, my god. Help! My god.
Sam: Hello? Yes, there's been an attack. I'm down by the docks. No, a man -- he -- he attacked my mother, he almost killed her. Please hurry. No, no, no, he was wearing black, all black, a ski mask!
Mike: Hey, what happened?
Sam: Please hurry!
Mike: Come on -- I heard screaming. Come here. Come here.
Alexis: Someone attacked --
Mike: Are you all right?
Mike: Come on. Come on, sit down, sit down.
Alexis: Sam -- saved my life.
Sam: Are you ok? Oh, my god, I was so scared.
Mike: Here, here you go. Are you ok?
Alexis: Thank you.
Alexis: Oh --
Sam: What is it? "Changed my mind -- you first, then your bitch daughter."
Emily: You're doing this to punish yourself because you still think that you're the one that strangled me at Wyndemere.
Nikolas: Well, Emily, I wish -- I wish that I could say I know I didn't, but I -- but I can't. I wish I could say that I remember something else from that night -- anything -- but I can't.
Emily: Well, you still could if you could just stay alive!
Nikolas: What -- what good is it remembering who took you from me if I end up losing you all over again? I -- I have a tumor that is growing. If -- if I have it removed I lose you again, and I don't think that I can handle that -- I know that I couldn't.
Emily: Nikolas, if you don't have this operation, you're going to die. Ok? You need to accept that -- we both do. There is more in this world for you to live for than me.
Nikolas: I -- I don't believe that. And I don't know what I believe anymore.
Nadine: There's more to believe about this world than people think. We just have to keep ourselves open to the unexpected, don't we?
Patrick: Why didn't you tell me Nikolas was refusing to have the operation?
Robin: Well, because I don't know that yet -- I haven't talked to him. He just left me a message about alternative treatment, that's all.
Patrick: There is no alternative treatment.
Robin: Well, we don't know that. We have just started to monitor how the tumor is growing and what hormones are being released into his blood during his rage episodes.
Patrick: Robin, the important part about that is the tumor is growing, and it's going to kill him -- it is killing him.
Robin: The least I could do is talk to him like he asked.
Patrick: Robin, I can save his life.
Robin: That's not the point. You can't chase the guy down and tie him to a gurney and split his head open just because you want to put another notch on the O.R. table just like you keep putting on your belt.
Patrick: Why do you care?
Robin: You know what? I don't -- I mean, I shouldn't. But just so you know, I think that there is a supply closet on five that's not being used.
Patrick: You know, it's a good thing we broke up. We would've deteriorated to this level about something at some point. It's a good thing I didn't let you talk me into having kids together.
Johnny: Lulu, I told you to stay away.
Lulu: In case you haven't noticed, I don't always do what I'm told. Ask anyone, it's unanimous -- I'm very bad at taking orders. This may already be infected.
Johnny: Yeah, I'll be all right, so you can leave. I can handle it, really, I can.
Lulu: Ok, I can either stay and help or I can do what you're telling me to and leave, and you can sit back and watch your leg rot off. What'll it be? Take a couple of these.
Johnny: How'd you get your hands on these?
Lulu: I worked out a trade.
Johnny: That's enough. Now you're stealing drugs for me?
Lulu: They're -- Johnny, they're antibiotics, ok? And compared to being murdered by your father --
Johnny: Stop. You have no idea what's going on, do you?
Lulu: Yes, I do, I do. This weird Moreau guy wanted you to traffic something illegal, you refused, so he had me grabbed and then you and Logan and Spinelli came after me and you blew up a boat.
Johnny: A boat that you were on and I had no idea. I could've killed you and, I -- I have no idea how I would've lived with that.
Elizabeth: I must've dozed off. Lucky and Jake were here, you must've just missed them.
Jason: No, I saw them leave. How are you?
Elizabeth: I'm better. My leg feels better, but I'm having a really hard time sleeping. Every time I nod off, I dream about that fire, and when I wake up I feel like I've lost Jake, you -- both of you. It's --
Jason: Ok, I -- I can't stay long -- we shouldn't be seen together. I just wanted -- I needed to thank you.
Elizabeth: So you got it? I had to trade a big favor with Lulu to get that drawing to you. And I know it's just a scribble on a piece of paper, but it was your birthday and I had so many plans for us to be together.
Jason: The drawing was -- was wonderful and it meant a lot to me, it did, but that's not why I'm here. I -- I just couldn't let any more time go by without seeing you, you know, without telling you face to face.
Elizabeth: What, telling me what?
Jason: Thank you. I just -- I just wanted to thank you for saving -- saving our son.
Nadine: I brought you some forms to sign so you could be released tomorrow. I was surprised to hear you were going. I thought you were going to stay and have the surgery.
Nikolas: It's my mind, my body, I can do what I want with it. Look, I'm not having another episode here, I'm just tired of people --
Nadine: I chased her away, didn't I?
Nikolas: Who?
Nadine: Emily.
Nikolas: Ok, what -- what if I said yes?
Nadine: Then I'd say I'm sorry, and I'd hurry up and get out of here as soon as I could so you could try and talk to her again. It happens to me, too.
Nikolas: Huh -- yeah? What does?
Nadine: Someone, um -- someone I once knew -- I can still feel them with me -- someone who's gone but not not really, someone I want to hold on to.
Nikolas: Someone -someone that you loved or --
Nadine: Someone I love. But -- uh -- we just can't be together. But it doesn't give me an excuse to ignore the rest of my life. I mean, I have a job and family and good friends and a hockey team. The world goes on, like it or not, and the people that we choose to occupy space with come and go -- and if 're lucky, they come back again. But in the meantime, they wouldn't want us to just sit around and waste our life, you know? So we can keep the best parts of them with us and -- oh, gosh, I'm sorry. As my aunt would say, "Nadine, you can talk the ear off a stalk of corn." Uh -- good luck out there.
Nikolas: Ahem.
Nadine: And don't let go unless there's no other choice.
Nikolas: Well, how do you know when that is?
Nadine: I don't know. I'm not there yet myself. But I can say that only you will know for sure -- in here. Night.
Leyla: Are you ok?
Nadine: Uh -- yeah, I'm fine.
Leyla: Who's that in the locket?
Nadine: Um --
Leyla: Oh -- I have to get this, I'm sorry.
Nadine: No, I -- I got to go do rounds. I'll see you later.
Leyla: Ok. "Exam room 10-C, stat." Ok, Dr. Drake.
Alexis: I was walking home, and I was finishing up a call on my cell phone. And this man just jumped out from behind me, and he was wearing black gloves. That's all I saw. And he put a cord around my neck, and he -- I couldn't breathe. And if Sam didn't show up when she did, he would've killed me.
Sam: I jumped on him when I saw what was happening, and he got away and I called 911 and then Mike got here.
Lucky: Did any one of you get a look at him? Anything about his clothing?
Alexis: He was wearing black, that's all I saw.
Mike: No, no, he was gone by the time I got here.
Sam: Yeah, he had a ski mask on -- it happened so fast.
Lucky: Mike, did you see anyone suspicious hanging around the diner?
Mike: No, but that -- that doesn't mean much. It was busy, I was inside, I went out for some fresh air, and I heard the screaming. Alexis, I really think you got to get to the hospital, get checked out -- you could be hurt, honey.
Alexis: I'm not going to the hospital, all right? I'm going down to the station with you because we are going to zero in on this maniac who's terrorizing this town.
Coop: Hey, are you all right? Did something happen?
Maxie: Yeah, but I haven't had a chance to talk to Mac about it yet.
Mac: Could you give me a minute with Coop?
Maxie: Why?
Mac: Just do it, please. Sergeant Robinson claims he gave you the test results matching the D.N.A. samples they found on Georgie?
Coop: Right, he did. But you were in there with Maxie's mom and you said you didn't want to be disturbed.
Mac: Where are the results?
Coop: I put them on your desk. Right afterwards, I was called out on a robbery.
Scott: So you didn't take a little peek at the results?
Coop: No. Why?
Mac: Because the file is still here but the results are missing, and I'm trying to find out who besides Johnny Zacchara would want to make them disappear.
Lulu: What are you doing? You have to stay still or you're going to start bleeding again. What are you -- why are you reaching over the bar? What do you want? What -- why are you making a phone call? What is it so important you have to do this right now?
Johnny: I'm calling off the search that's probably going on for me right now.
Trevor: Johnny. You're alive -- thank god. I've had guys looking for you all over.
Johnny: Try getting new bloodhounds.
Trevor: You're telling me, son? Where are you?
Johnny: First, call off your goon squad -- now. I don't -- I don't want to be found and I don't intend to be. And I'll come home whenever I damn well please, and when I do, you and I are going to talk.
Trevor: You know, that shipment with --
Johnny: I know all about the shipment, I'm the one that sank it. If you make another deal with Moreau -- or anybody else, for that matter -- without my approval or consent, it'll be your last.
Trevor: Don't you ever threaten me, son.
Johnny: You got that all backwards, Trevor. You don't get to threaten me ever again.
Trevor: Jason Morgan was not the only trouble onboard that ship last night. John blew it up himself.
Mr. Vaughn: So how do we get this kid under control, huh?
Trevor: Well, maybe we never do. Maybe we make a substitution. I got a sweeter option. You know who I'm talking about, don't you?
Mr. Vaughn: You mean -- I mean, even if you could find her -- I mean, you still got to get her here.
Trevor: Don't you worry about -- I'm going to find her and I'm going to get her here -- and I know exactly the right buttons to push. Meanwhile -- look, the boys in the city tell me it's no time to traffic anything in New York. So we got to have a base of operations here in Port Charles, and that means that base has got to be the piers.
Mr.Vaughn: It's too bad Skye Chandler's gone, isn't it?
Trevor: Well, Skye gave those piers to Richard, so -- what do you think it would take to get Richard to give those piers to me?
Ric's voice: Well, travel back in time -- somewhere in 1970? Remember that summer, Sonny -- a little big, beautiful house, private beach only a few steps away? It must've been a hell of an impression on a little nothing from Bensonhurst like yourself.
Sonny: Yeah, yeah. My mother and I, we stayed in this house one summer. What's that have to do with you?
Ric's voice: I own this house
Woman: I thought you might still be here.
[Ric sighs]
Woman: I brought you some coffee.
Ric: Thank you. That's very nice of you.
Woman: Why are you still here?
Ric: Uh -- I don't know. I'm just -- trying to chase away some ghosts.
Woman: Oh. Sorry. You said this house once belonged to your family. Did you lose somebody here?
Ric: Yeah -- me.
Robin: Hey. I got your message. So, I have a list here of alternative treatments, but I have to be honest. At this point, I don't have any real solutions, so your best option is still surgery.
Nikolas: Well, right now, I'll just settle for an answer something.
Robin: Sure. What is it?
Nikolas: How do you let go of someone when you know you should, but something inside you makes that impossible?
Leyla: I heard you had an emergency, Dr. Drake. I'm here to help.
Scott: Well, it's about time.
Logan: I was in the shower when you called. Is there a problem?
Scott: Yes, there is a problem, and I hope it's not you.
Lulu: Yeah, you're burning up. Why don't you come sit down?
Johnny: You have to go. If Trevor finds me here, I don't want you in here.
Lulu: Trevor is not stupid, he's not going to do anything to me while you're around. Or are you more worried about what he would do to you?
Jason: That day in the emergency room, it was like I was -- I was going crazy because I couldn't -- I couldn't get to you, I couldn't protect you.
Elizabeth: There was a man who said he had a bomb. You had to make sure nobody got hurt.
Jason: All this time I was so worried that -- that any danger to Jake would -- would come from me, in my life. It never even occurred to me that something like this could happen that had nothing to do with me, you know, at all. It was just like some -- some freak, random accident.
Elizabeth: No. It was my fault. That day, my head was all over the place. Cameron was playing with matches. I should've been watching him, I shouldn't have been so distracted. And when I ran out that door, I knew it would lock behind me. I just -- I don't -- I'm just sorry. I'm really, really, really sorry.
Jason: It's ok, it's ok. You have nothing to be sorry for. I just don't want something like this to happen again, ever.
Elizabeth: Are you thinking about changing the arrangement? Are you wanting to take Jake?
Jan 23, 2008 11:08
Johnny: You need to go.
Lulu: I'm not going anywhere for a while.
Johnny: But you don't understand --
Lulu: I will go, I promise, but not until I know that you're going to be ok.
Johnny: Tell me about this place.
Lulu: It used to belong to my dad. He and my mom got in a lot of trouble on this boat. Rumor even has it that they might have saved the world on it.
Johnny: Tough act to follow.
Lulu: Yeah -- not the "saving of the world" part, the saving of each other. The way they were in love, given the odds that were against them, I'm actually surprised that they survived it. I don't even know what love looks like.
Johnny: It doesn't look like anything -- it's a mind game.
Lulu: You're getting worse.
Lulu: No, you're not.
Johnny: You always have to be right, don't you?
Lulu: Johnny?
Logan: So let me get this straight -- you're accusing me of stealing a file -- not just any file, but a file that would link Johnny Zacchara to Georgie's death?
Scott: I'm not accusing you of anything, I'm just asking.
Logan: Well -- let me just skip past the massive amount of insult and ask you the burning question of "why?" Why would I do that? Why would I take a file that would link Johnny Zacchara to Georgie's death and get him out of Lulu's life for good, huh?
Scott: Well, maybe because you -- you might think that if you had something on Johnny, you might be able to squeeze him to stay away from Lulu.
Logan: What's better than headed to prison for murder?
Scott: Well, you know, sometimes the law doesn't work the way it's supposed to work, especially when you got a hotshot attorney like Trevor Lansing -- not to mention he's the daddy to the district attorney.
Logan: You're something, you know that? Forget about me asking for help with a job, forget about me ever talking to you, period.
Scott: Hey, did it ever occur to you that I'm just trying to help? That maybe I -- I didn't want to see you jump into a tub of hot water, in spite of this -- this picture you're painting of me, of this deadbeat dad?
Logan: It's a little late for you to be looking out for me. You just stay out of my life. You know what? I should be thankful you didn't think I stole that file because there was something in there that fingered me as Georgie's killer.
Maxie: Mac knows you didn't take that file.
Coop: You said something happened -- what?
Maxie: Yeah, I should be jumping for joy about it, but --
Coop: Well, what happened?
Maxie: I found a note. I mean, it's more than we've ever gotten before, but --
Coop: I still don't understand.
Maxie: My mom left -- again.
Sam: I wish we could be more help.
Mac: That's ok. Look, what you've given us so far is good. Don't worry. I mean, it's possible that something will occur to you that isn't registering right now. Once the shock wears off, maybe you'll remember more.
Alexis: I really just want to call viola one more time, I need to check on the girls.
Mac: Absolutely.
Lucky: Hey, are you really all right?
Sam: No, I am not all right. I -- I just really can't believe it. I would like to take a stick and beat myself over the head with it.
Lucky: Why?
Sam: Why? Because I have done whole shows on self-defense. I have had experts on. I have participated in demonstrations, what to do in case you're being attacked. Step one, two, three -- everything. Everything I ever learned went straight out the window. I saw my mother being attacked and I saw red. I flew at the guy, and he got away!
Lucky: Sam, you saved her life, and that is no small thing.
Sam: And that's really going to tick the killer off, isn't it?
Jason: It's not like I haven't, you know, thought about claiming Jake and having a real family with you.
Elizabeth: Jason, please don't let my lapse in parenting make you do something you're going to regret later on. You and Lucky and I made an agreement that, to the world, Lucky is Jake's father. We did it for a reason -- we did it to protect Jake.
Jason: So you wouldn't want us all to be together?
Elizabeth: Oh, my god, my heart wants nothing more. But my head, when I'm being practical --
Jason: I know, I know. I can't -- I can't tell you that the violence in my life isn't going to be there anymore, or won't always be there. And when I'm being practical, I know that -- I know that we did the right thing. But I think about you and Jake every night, and I'm wondering what you're doing and I want to call you, I want to see you, I want to hold you. I just want to be with you, and I want to be with my son. But I know I can't be.
Elizabeth: I have the exact same thoughts. I guess we didn't anticipate how much pain this sacrifice would cause you.
Jason: It's just I realize if it was only my life -- not just my life that could hurt Jake, it's -- it's life, you know, and I can't -- I can't be there.
Elizabeth: The fire should've never happened. I'm only going to be in here for a day or two more, and then we can go home -- Jake and I can go home. But at least we have the safe house.
Jason: I know. We got the safe house, I know. There's just no place that we can all be together.
Elizabeth: Well, maybe we need to stop hoping for a perfect world and just be glad with what we do have.
Jason: You're right. I -- I should go.
Elizabeth: I know I shouldn't ask, but could you just stay with me until I fall asleep?
Jason: Of course. Yeah, get some rest. The sooner you get out of here, the sooner we can steal -- steal some time to be together.
Leyla: Just what it looks like -- although I was half expecting you to be waiting for me when I got in.
Patrick: Waiting for what?
Leyla: Ok, why all the confusion? It's your turn in the game, right? Last time, I called you to an emergency in the locker room, this time --
Patrick: Leyla, the only emergency is the fact that you don't have any clothes on.
Leyla: What?
Patrick: Dr. Ford is going to be here any minute -- he asked me to meet him here to check out his nephew --
Leyla: Oh, my god, what the hell is wrong with you? Why didn't you tell me?
Patrick: I did, remember? "Exam room 10-C, stat, Dr. Drake"? The fact that you let your mind wander to this place is really not my fault, and you know what? Yeah, I -- I would really hurry.
Leyla: Oh -- help me make the table, hurry.
Patrick: No, no, see, that would be such a waste of time -- because we're just going to mess it up again.
Leyla: What? Why? What about Dr. Ford?
Patrick: He went home two hours ago -- and just for the record, he doesn't have a nephew.
Leyla: This is your idea of a joke.
Patrick: A little bit more like a tease. Now, I'm hoping we can still --
Patrick: Ok, not exactly what I was expecting.
Leyla: Of all the juvenile, boorish tricks --
Patrick: Ok, at the risk of getting slapped again -- it was a joke, lighten up.
Leyla: It's one thing to toy with me personally, but I happen to take my career very seriously.
Patrick: And so do I, and I'm good at it -- frankly, I'm probably one of the best -- but it doesn't mean I can't laugh at myself every once in a while.
Leyla: That's because you're so damn good at detaching yourself. I can't afford to tank my career over some exam room Romeo. I'm good at what I do, too. Oh, and for the record, you may be the best in the O.R., but I've had better in the bedroom.
Patrick: Well, then I must be slacking off, and it won't happen again.
Leyla: Yeah, you're right about that, doctor.
Ric: Well, I suppose nobody's had a perfect childhood. I guess the key is to be able to leave it behind, though.
Woman: "If we knew what we were doing as children, there'd be no need for childhood." It's something my mother used to say.
Ric: Oh.
Woman: I'm -- I'm sorry for whatever it is you're going through -- I didn't mean to pry.
Ric: Yeah, it's ok. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be so mysterious about the whole thing.
Woman: Sometimes a little mystery is healthy between people. I -- I should go. I'm going to miss my bus.
Ric: Ok. Thanks for the coffee.
Woman: Yeah.
Ric: It was just the way I like it.
Woman: I knew that.
Ric: How?
Woman: Just something I do -- only seems to work with coffee. I guess everybody gets a little gift in this life.
Woman: Well, good night.
Ric: Yeah, good night.
Coop: Hey, I got to go back on duty.
Maxie: Ok, well, do you think we could hang out tonight?
Coop: Well, I don't know how this night's going to play out, so I'll call you, ok?
Maxie: Oh -- sure, ok.
Maxie: Georgie? You're going to catch who did it, right?
Mac: Your mother -- um -- she said she wanted to help. I told her not to. I think I really hurt her. So when you go home, you might want to be prepared.
Maxie: Mac, she's already gone.
Lucky: Listen, this isn't open for discussion. I'm taking you both home and I think that you need to tell Ric what happened.
Alexis: Well, he'll find out about it and there's really nothing he can do about it. I can't reach him right now anyway, I don't know where he is. I just want to get home and see my girls.
Lucky: All right, let's go.
Scott: Alexis, I just heard what happened. Is there anything I can do?
Alexis: Unless you have a better idea, I think we need to put an A.P.B. out on Johnny Zacchara.
Lulu: Johnny? Hey, I found this in the closet, ok? Here, wrap it around you. That wound looks infected. I just really hope I got the antibiotics to you on time.
Johnny: They take a while to kick in.
Lulu: Well, if this gets worse --
Johnny: No doctors. I'll be ok. How can I be this hot and this cold at the same time? I remember when I was little, like 4 or 5, I had a fever like this. We were snowed in and I was shivering. She wrapped a blanket around me, held me there for hours.
Lulu: Your mom?
Johnny: Her arms must've been so tired. She just held me until I fell asleep. I guess if love feels like anything, that's it. That wasn't a hint.
Lulu: Shut up.
Johnny: You're beautiful -- did I say that before?
Lulu: No, and when your fever breaks, you're not going to remember saying it now.
Johnny: So I can say anything --
Lulu: Stop talking.
Johnny: I guess if love did look like anything -- you're right. I should shut up.
Singer: I've lost my mind just to get to you
Leyla: Oh, wait -- the lights.
Patrick: I'll get them.
Leyla: No, it's ok.
Singer: I said I would not do
Leyla: If it's games you want, doctor, I'll win.
Singer: Nothing
Patrick: Leyla -- Leyla? Leyla, what are you doing? Give me -- give me my clothes -- Leyla --
Singer: No more lonely nights
Jason: Will you forgive me?
Sonny's voice: You're scared, you'll say anything.
Ric's voice: I'm begging you to shoot me, brother.
Sonny's voice: I'm not your brother. No, I'm not.
Ric: Adela was pregnant when you were here -- when you pushed her down those stairs.
Sonny: I didn't push her down those stairs.
Ric: You know -- you know who she was pregnant with, Sonny, huh? Me. Trevor Lansing is my father. He owned this house. Adela is my mother.
Sonny: No way.
Ric: Why don't you go ahead and shoot me, all right? I'm the bastard brother, I've been planning your destruction for years! Come on, don't you want a little payback?
Alexis: I'm sorry I have to drag you back here, but I'm sure my keys fell out here somewhere.
Lucky: I'm going to post a couple of men at the lake house.
Alexis: That really won't be necessary.
Lucky: Yes, it is.
Alexis: Oh, thank god. I'd be lost without these.
[Phones ring]
Logan: Are we over? Maxie: You want to go to Canada -- today? Michael: The man who tried to kill mom is still out there. Why hasn't someone tried to stop him?
Jan 24, 2008 10:12
Mike: Two French dips, three fries, coleslaw, potato salad and onion soup.
Lulu: Oh -- uh -- could -- could I get some apple pie?
Mike: Apple pie? Sure. How many -- how many slices?
Lulu: Can I get the whole pie?
Mike: The whole pie? Sure. I wish you'd tell me your secret.
Lulu: What secret? I don't have a secret. I'm not hiding anything.
Mike: No, honey, about how you stay in such great shape.
Lulu: Well -- oh, the -- the pie is not for me. I -- I mean, some friends and I were --
Mike: I'm just teasing you, Lulu. I mean, not even I could eat all that. So, you and your friends enjoy, and be careful out there. You heard about what happened to Sam and Alexis, right?
Lulu: No, what happened?
Mike: Oh, they -- they were attacked on the docks last night. They're all right, but it was a pretty close call. It looks -- it looks like it might be the same guy that killed Georgie and Emily.
Lulu: Oh. Wow, I'm -- well, I'm glad Sam and Alexis are ok. Thank you for the warning.
Mike: Sure, honey. Bye-bye.
Lulu: Bye.
Logan: Lulu, I'm in so much trouble.
[Logan sighs]
Maxie: You know, I'm glad you changed your mind and you called me to come over last night. But I can tell something's on your mind besides me.
Coop: I just keep thinking about Georgie.
Maxie: Yeah, me, too. But at least they're close to finding the killer, right? I mean, if they tested for a D.N.A. match between Johnny Zacchara and the skin underneath Georgie's fingernails, and now the test has been stolen, that makes him look guilty, right?
Coop: Yeah, right.
[Baby cries]
Elizabeth: Jake?
[Elizabeth's voice echoes]
Lucky: I wanted to stop by and check on you and Elizabeth. She was still at work.
Sam: Of course I don't mind. I never would. It's actually, it's -- it's great. It's actually better than great. You know what? Kristina is in the bedroom, and I'm sure she'd be really happy to see you. You want to go play?
Cameron: Yeah.
Sam: Go ahead.
[Lucky chuckles]
Lucky: So how did you sleep last night?
Sam: You know, I -- I didn't even try. I -- I know you have officers posted outside, but I really can't stop thinking about what happened.
Lucky: What you did last night was very brave. That maniac -- he would have killed your mother if you hadn't jumped in. Just -- please, be careful. We need to try to keep everyone else calm so they don't do anything foolish and wind up getting themselves hurt.
Jason: What are you doing?
Lulu: Sorry I haven't returned your calls. I've just been going to bed early.
Logan: Look, Lulu, please don't lie to me. Ok? Just tell me one thing. Are we over?
Lulu: Oh -- I -- I don't know what we are. We -- we seem to get things started, and then something stops us, and then we try again and then something stops us again.
Logan: Because of Johnny. Huh, because of Johnny. He's hurt and you're taking care of him someplace, aren't you?
Lulu: Look, it's not what you think.
Logan: Lulu, it's l right if you are. It is. You know, I've realized if we have a chance in hell of being together, I can't -- I can't control you or chain you to me. I just have to let you know that I'm crazy about you. I am. And I hope that, you know, the feeling's mutual. It's called trust, and it's not something I'm good at, but it's all I got here, so -- huh -- um -- I know I've given you a lot of reasons to doubt me. But I'm going to trust that no matter what, you know that Johnny's bad for you. And I'm going to work at being somebody you can respect and one day trust back.
Lulu: Logan, I --
Logan: Listen, how about we go later, grab some food? We'll go to Miller's pond, skate around the ice, have some fun, huh? Yeah?
Lulu: Sure, yeah. Ok.
Logan: Ok, good. So I'll meet you later about 7:00, all right?
Lulu: Ok, yeah.
Logan: Good.
Logan: Bye.
Coop: I'm so sorry about your sister. Last time I saw her, it wasn't very nice.
Maxie: It wasn't?
Coop: You know, I'm thinking about cutting out for a while. You want to come with?
Maxie: Um -- are you allowed to just leave town when you're a cadet?
Coop: Well, I do have an in with the police commissioner, don't I? Special dispensation for dating his beautiful daughter.
Maxie: Coop, I don't really know if now's the best time. I came down on my mom for abandoning us, for abandoning Mac, and I would never want him to feel like that's what I was doing.
Coop: But I don't think he would. I mean, if anything, he'd -- he'd like you away from all this -- safe. You know, we can get in the car this afternoon and just go.
Maxie: Today?
Coop: Yeah, we can be in Montreal by dark.
Maxie: You want to go to Canada?
Coop: Well, it doesn't matter, all right? I just -- I just want to feel free, and I want you with me. I started out in this town getting locked in a vault with you, and I want --
Maxie: Even then -- even through that dumb ski mask you were wearing, I could see in your eyes everything I needed to know about you. I would love to go away with you. How long do you think we'd be gone for?
Coop: Oh, we can play that one by ear.
Maxie: Lately, it just feels like my world has gotten so dark and small. It's like you're the only light left. I'm going to go shower, and then run by my house and pick up a few things, and I'll be ready in a couple hours?
Coop: Sounds perfect.
Maxie: Ok.
Coop: A couple of things I got to take care of myself. All right.
Maxie: Bye.
Coop: See you later.
Ric's voice: You never spent a summer in this house?
Sonny's voice: Yeah, I did, with my mother.
Ric's voice: Uh-huh.
Sonny: Your father must have been the landlord here.
Ric: Yeah, well, fine. If that works for you, that's fine. But how was your mother going to be able to afford to rent a place like this, Sonny? You know how much this place was worth, even back then? She was a single mother educated in Cuba. She was fortunate to have a job as my father's secretary, and even more fortunate to have fallen in love with him.
Sonny: That never happened.
Ric: Oh, yeah? He got her pregnant.
Sonny: That's a lie.
Ric: You know what the sad part about this whole thing is? Hmm? My father really loved her.
Trevor: This is Trevor Lansing.
Jerry: [French accent] Moreau.
Trevor: I've been expecting this.
Jerry: More like fearing it, I expect. Do you know how much time and money it's cost me?
Trevor: Mr. Moreau, I don't fear you or anybody else. I've been looking into the explosion on my ship.
Jerry: Yes -- don't waste your breath. I've been looking into it, and we all know what happened. It's Sonny's pet thug, Jason Morgan, happened.
Trevor: Well, maybe you should have controlled the Spencer girl better.
Jerry: The offending, ineffectual parties have been terminated. Now, what can you promise me about yours?
Trevor: It won't happen again, period.
Jerry: But I'm afraid that won't be enough. There is always the Corinthos-Morgan franchise.
Trevor: Let's stop this, will you? You and I need to meet.
[Jerry hangs up]
Alexis: All right, Molly's sleeping and Kristina is right there, and there's Cameron!
Sam: Hey!
Lucky: Get her!
Alexis: Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run! Faster! You better run, Kristina! He's coming! It's a good thing she doesn't know how close she came to not having a mother. Thank you once again for the rescue. All right, look, I feel a little uncomfortable, a little anxious about leaving. This is going to be a very quick trip.
Sam: I'm here.
Lucky: Yeah, me, too. My advice is try not to be afraid. I mean, that's what this freak wants. He gets off on it. I mean, the text messages -- they're not about fair warning, they're about keeping you feeling helpless, afraid of your own shadow. Just -- you know what? Use it against him. Be prepared without being reckless. You can count on us. We're going to find the guy.
Alexis: I get that intellectually. It's just everywhere else, I'm a little shaky.
Sam: Just be careful, please.
Alexis: I will, I will. All right, so if the kids need anything, you call me.
Sam: Nothing, go. I'm here.
Alexis: All right, fine.
Sam: Go.
Alexis: Ok. All righty. I'm gone.
Sam: Huh.
Alexis: See you later.
Sam: Bye.
Lucky: What's this, huh? What's that? What do you think of that? Boo! Why are you so fascinated with Cameron's hat?
Sam: The hat -- um -- this hat reminds me of my brother, Danny. He never went anywhere without his red baseball cap. No, he always approached life with so much wonder and -- and love. You know, it was -- it was just the way that he was. And for long stretches of my life, Danny was the one person that I could always count on. I loved him, he loved me, and he was the one guy that I thought I would never lose. I just -- you know, I hate -- oh, I hate feeling helpless.
Lucky: Hey, what's this really about?
Sam: Fear. Ok, no. Terror, I guess. I -- I guess I'm just -- I'm a little terrified.
Lucky: Ok, of what?
Sam: Of losing you.
Jason: What are you doing out of school?
Michael: Oh -- well -- I had a free period, and I wanted to come see dad. I haven't talked to him in a while. Nobody has. Have you?
Jason: You know how your dad stays out of touch with all of us sometimes. I'm sure he's ok.
Michael: So you're not worried?
Jason: Only when I have to be.
Michael: The man who tried to kill mom is still out there. He already hurt Emily and Leticia. I mean, why hasn't someone tried to stop him? Why haven't you tried to stop him?
Jason: Is that why you were trying to take this?
Alexis: Well, if Sam hadn't come along, I obviously wouldn't be sitting here right now.
Jerry: I -- I know, I know. It must have been a horrible experience for you.
Alexis: Oh, it was an eye opener.
Jerry: I really should find ways to stick closer to you. You know, to -- to ward off the shadows, that is.
Alexis: Actually, I'm here for the opposite reason, because I am taking over as D.A. while Ric is gone, temporarily. But because of that, I won't be able to take on any private clients until he's back.
Jerry: Oh, come on. Come on, does anybody really need to know if we continue our -- our relationship, so to speak?
Alexis: It would put us in an awkward position.
Jerry: Well, are there really any other kind, darling?
Alexis: If you were to do something, say --
Jerry: Naughty, illegal? Irreversible, reprehensible?
Alexis: Just to name a few.
Jerry: Yes.
Alexis: The simple solution would be for me to just -- to find someone to distract you from getting into trouble because should you get into trouble,, of course, would not able to represent you because it would be a terrible conflict of interest.
Jerry: Terrible.
Alexis: I -- um -- have to go. I have a meeting.
Jerry: Oh, but I'll -- I'll walk you over. Good.
Alexis: I can do it myself.
Jerry: No, no, no -- consider it mutually beneficial. First of all, you'll have an amazing bodyguard, and then I'll have the delightful distraction to keep out of trouble a little while longer.
Woman: Ahem -- the usual?
Ric: Um -- you?
Woman: Yes, me.
Ric: Well -- I'm sorry, when you said you collected the mail for the people who lived in my old family house, I just assumed that you were their personal assistant or something.
Woman: No, nothing quite so grand. This is my real job. In the summers, I earn extra money cleaning that house.
Woman: So, the usual? Coffee, one sugar, milk, not cream?
Ric: Yeah, that was -- that was pretty amazing you're able to do that, just know how I took my coffee by looking at me.
Woman: Yeah, well, comes with the territory.
Ric: Is something wrong with your lip?
Woman: Oh -- um -- I was so busy listening to the ocean on the walk to the bus last night that I tripped and fell.
Woman: I'm clumsy like that. Always a cut here, bruise there. I'm -- I'll go get your coffee.
Leo: You know, if you go running down the hall popping open the stitches I put in, you're going to make me look bad. You don't want to do that, now, do you?
Elizabeth: I'm sorry. I was just having such a bad dream. I heard Jake yelling for me, and I jumped out of bed and ran down the hall like I do at home. I -- I -- it was just a reflex or sleepwalking. I don't know what it was.
Robin: Well, we could give you something to calm you down.
Elizabeth: I took a sedative and it made the dreams worse. And then it was harder for me to wake up. I'm just -- I -- I don't -- I don't know, I don't know.
Robin: Well, I do. You ran into a burning building to save your baby, and you're having a little posttraumatic stress from it.
Leo: Hey, you know what? Let me -- let me see about a different kind of sleep aid. Maybe something that'll just help calm you down and not affect your sleep as much, ok?
Leo: Ok.
Robin: I'll stay with her for a while.
Leo: Yeah, I appreciate it. All right, I'll see you later.
Elizabeth: I guess I'm such a mess, right?
Robin: No. You're a mother. And -- well, with any luck, in about nine months, I'll be one half as good as you.
Elizabeth: You're pregnant?
Robin: Yes, yes, yes, but don't say anything, ok? Nobody knows.
Elizabeth: Oh! So you finally found someone to donate sperm after all?
Robin: In a manner of speaking, yes.
Patrick: I need a duty nurse for O.R.
Epiphany: Will there be a patient in there, too, or just you?
Patrick: Is it cold in here, or just you?
Leyla: Actually, I think it's me. Our little tryst in the exam room got me a suspension.
Woman: You must be here on business, then.
Ric: You know, just the business of discovering myself. Why?
Woman: It's the way you're dressed. Like a bright, new, sharp, shiny pencil.
Ric: How am I supposed to be dressed? Like a -- a crayon?
Woman: Why not? We're casual here.
Ric: Oh. It'd be a slightly worn crayon
Woman: Yeah, with a peeled label.
Ric: Blue.
Woman: Just blue?
Ric: Well, cadet blue.
Woman: Hmm -- no, sky blue. Strong, but still warm, somehow.
Trevor: Cup of coffee, please. I want to have a chat with my son.
Jerry: At last count, I'm not sure how many sides you've been batting for, but I know that D.A. Lansing had high hopes of getting the goods on Michael Corinthos Jr. But Sonny boy had already discovered that you were one of my merry men at the Metro Court hostage crisis. Isn't that right, Three?
Coop: What do you want?
Jerry: Someone with enough dirt that I can hold over their head so they can help me with a new venture.
Coop: Well, I'll have to get back to you on that.
Jerry: Oh, well, that's cheeky for someone with as much to lose as you do.
Coop: Maybe I'm just tired of living a lie.
Jerry: Talk like that, and you'll come off as someone who's just tired of living, period.
Elizabeth: Yeah, I remember you telling me that you and Patrick wound up together the night of Georgie's funeral.
Robin: Yeah. Interesting night for a child's conception, right?
Elizabeth: I think it's perfect. Life from death. A child was made by two people who love each other.
Robin: Who aren't together anymore.
Elizabeth: Yeah, but don't you think this is going to change Patrick's whole attitude a little?
Robin: No. I don't know. I don't know. I'm just -- I'm so confused, you know? Eventually, it's going to be obvious that I'm pregnant, and Patrick's going to ask questions, and I'm going to have to lie. I want this baby so much, but I'm going to have to tell the father of my child that it's not his. Does that make me an awful person?
Elizabeth: Ok. You asked for my opinion, so I'm going to give it to you. The truth has an ugly way of coming out in the end anyway. Tell Patrick that he's the father. It really does change a person.
Jason: I -- I don't even know what to do. I mean, you're breaking every rule here, Michael.
Michael: You're going to tell, aren't you?
Jason: No, first I want you to tell me why. Why -- why -- why did you want this gun?
Michael: I wanted to protect my mother and my brother. It's what you and dad use to make people go away, isn't it?
[Piano plays]
Lulu: That was beautiful.
Johnny: I hope you brought some food. I'm starved.
Lulu: Logan knows that I'm helping you. But he doesn't know where we are, so he won't bother us.
Johnny: And I'm supposed to trust Logan?
Lulu: No, you're supposed to trust me.
Jan 24, 2008 10:17
Lulu: Logan isn't who everybody thinks he is.
Johnny: So you're right about him and the rest of us are wrong?
Lulu: He thinks that you're all against him.
Johnny: We are, and with good reason.
Lulu: He doesn't want to lose me.
Johnny: No man in his right mind would.
Lulu: Um, I went by my -- my brother Lucky's and he wasn't there, so I snuck in and grabbed some of his clothe how are you doing?
Johnny: Fine. Fever's gone.
Lulu: Yeah, but you're still weak. You should probably rest a while longer. Do you think you'll be ok alone while I'm gone?
Johnny: Big plans with Logan? He's no good for you. He's a lot better for you than I am, but he's no good.
Lulu: Why do you say that?
Johnny: Why do you want to question it?
Lulu: I didn't know that you played piano.
Johnny: Yeah, I haven't in a while. My mother made me start lessons when I was 5. I hated it at first, but then I realized music was a place I can go and get lost, you know? I stopped playing after my father killed my mother and eventually picked it back up again. He kind of left me alone when I played. It's interesting -- it's almost like it calmed him down. Trevor hated it.
Johnny: I don't know. But I think there's a lot about Trevor I don't know.
Trevor: Richard, I'm going to give you 50% more than the current market value for those piers.
Ric: What part of "Skye gave them to me" don't you understand?
Trevor: You and Skye had a great thing going, didn't you? Too bad it turned to nothing. But then again, I sort of expected it would. Do you -- do you really know a good thing when you see it?
Ric: If this is your idea of winning me over, it's not working.
[Trevor chuckles]
Trevor: So what are you going to do with those properties? You going to let your brother sell "coffee" from them? You going to build your own version of Port Charles' Coney Island?
Ric: Well, I know what you want to do with it.
Trevor: Do you really?
Ric: Mm-hmm.
Trevor: I want to continue growing my kingdom.
Ric: Yes, an empire filled with guns and drugs and god knows what else, all for the glory of Johnny and the Zaccharas?
Trevor: And Trevor Lansing.
Ric: No, mostly Trevor Lansing.
Trevor: Hear me, Richard. You're my son. Whatever you help me build will one day be yours.
Ric: Huh. Trevor, come on -- is that your best? I mean, is that your best shot? That's your best angle, huh? I'm going to do what I want to with this property.
Trevor: So tell me. What are you going to do -- give them to your brother?
Ric: I don't know, maybe. I thought about it -- maybe.
Trevor: Before you do that, why don't you walk back out in the snow and take another look at the house where you grew up? Yeah -- really look at it. And think about what happened in there and what it led to. You could give 20 times more than the real estate value of those piers to your brother and he would still spit on your grave.
Ric: Yeah, unlike you who spat on me in person when I was a child, right?
Trevor: Oh, Richard. Every sap feels sorry for himself. You want to be treated like a man, then act like one -- stop crying about your childhood!
Ric: Ok, conversation's over.
Trevor: Huh? Have the guts to take control of what Skye gave you.
Ric: Huh -- what's that supposed to mean?
Trevor: You haven't even transferred the properties into your name. You haven't signed the documents. Let me warn you about something. Somebody could come along and steal those documents and sign his own name to them, put a cap right in your head, and drop you off the Port Charles pier into the harbor.
Sam: What I said about losing you -- it didn't really come out the way that I wanted it to. I -- I know we are only being casual. I mean --
Lucky: No, we're way past "casual."
Sam: Yeah, um -- ok. I'm just saying that there's nothing really set in stone, there's no tattoos yet or -- huh.
Lucky: Does it have to be? I mean, we're not in high school.
Sam: No.
Lucky: We're adults.
Sam: We are.
Lucky: We're human.
Sam: Yes.
Lucky: If we have problems, we deal with them and right now -- you know what? Problems aside, I want to be with you. I want to see where we can go.
Sam: Whew -- good. Me, too.
Jason: Look, your father and I have made choices for ourselves. I mean, some -- some good choices, some bad choices, but all any parent wants is for their -- for their kid to have something better than they did, ok? We want you to make the best choices. We want you to have a happy life and we're always here to help you do that, but using a gun? No matter how good you think the reasons are, that is not the good choice. Look, I know you know this is not a toy, Michael. I know you see what a gun does to people on TV, in the movies, on those video games you played. I know --
Michael: Blah, blah -- I've heard this all in school. I don't know how to use it and I could get hurt or hurt somebody else.
Jason: Well, then maybe you need to be quiet and hear it from me! Look, I -- I think it's great that you want to protect your mother and your brother. It's not great that you want to get your hands on a gun to do that. You're -- you're old enough to understand what happens to a person when they get shot. You're not old enough to understand what it can do to you, how it can affect the rest of your life. You have no idea. Your father doesn't want you to have a gun, I don't want you anywhere around guns, ok? Holding a gun does not make you a man. Go back to school, you learn something, you do something nice for somebody. Are we ok?
[Johnny plays classical music]
[Johnny stops playing]
[Glass shatters]
Logan: Mr. Baldwin, what police evidence are you going to accuse me of stealing this time?
Scott: I'm just looking for Lulu.
Logan: What do you want with Lulu?
Scott: Well, we got an A.P.B. out on Johnny Zacchara. The D.N.A. test results are missing from the station. He was there, his attorney, Lansing, was there, so one of them could've stole the results.
Logan: What if I told you that I saw Lulu, I followed her and she's with Johnny?
Scott: Then I would expect you to tell me.
Logan: Even if she never forgave me?
Scott: She wouldn't have to know.
Logan: Well, I'd know, and I'm trying to get Lulu to trust me again.
Scott: And I'm trying to solve some murders here. Now, where did you follow Lulu to?
Logan: I didn't -- I haven't seen her all day.
Scott: You're lying -- now, tell me.
Woman: Can I get you anything else?
Ric: Hmm -- it's amazing. 10 minutes with my father and I feel like my entire miserable existence with him flashes before my eyes.
Woman: I'm sorry.
Woman: It's not right -- family should love each other no matter what.
Ric: Yeah. Is that what your family does?
Woman: Did. My family died when I was young.
Singer: Right on living
Ric: I'm sorry.
Woman: Look. Whatever reason you came here, just forget it for a while.
Ric: Hmm.
Woman: Go take a walk on the beach.
Ric: It's windy.
Woman: Huh -- so? Don't resist it. Play with the wind like a -- a kite does. Maybe it'll give you a whole new perspective on things.
Singer: 'Cause the best has yet to come
Patrick: Hey. I'm sorry. I -- I never thought any damage would come from -- what did ford say exactly?
Leyla: Well, I -- I got two weeks suspension without pay and a permanent mark on my record.
Patrick: All right, well, I'll talk to him.
Leyla: I really don't think it's going to do much good.
Patrick: How can I make this right?
Leyla: I don't know. I mean, he did say something about disciplining you, too.
Patrick: Wait -- how did he even find out what happened in -- between --
Leyla: I think he followed the telltale trail, Dr. Drake.
Leo: You got to learn to pick up after yourself, Drake, you naughty boy, you.
Cassius: Hey, I found these in the supply closet over on five, Dr. Drake -- or should I call you "Dr. Feelgood"?
[Leo and Cassius chuckle]
Patrick: You guys are hilarious, really funny.
Leyla: "Dr. Feelgood."
Patrick: Really funny. Don't you think they're funny?
Epiphany: All right.
Leyla: Uh-huh, really.
Epiphany: Now that everyone has had their five minutes of fun, let's remember that this is a hospital and there are patients that need tending to. Are you getting paid to smile or work?
Cassius: Oh, it's so good to have you back, Nurse Johnson.
Epiphany: I never went any place. And I certainly didn't break down and go to pieces over the death of my son and need your help to put me back together again, however grateful that I might be if that were to happen.
Cassius: Your secret -- it's safe with me. Right?
Jason: Uh, how's Elizabeth?
Epiphany: That information is only available to family members. But, if a family member were to ask that question, I would tell them that she is mending physically but that she needs something to keep her mind occupied so that she can rest.
Jason: Thank you. And thank you for what you did for Elizabeth's son that night in the E.R.
Epiphany: Just doing my job.
Jason: And I'm doing mine. I'm looking into Stan's death.
Leo: Hey, Patrick, let me ask you something.
Leo: What do you think if I were to ask Elizabeth Webber for a -- a drink or something?
Patrick: Elizabeth Webber?
Leo: Yeah, man. She's -- she's beautiful, she's -- I like -- I think --
Patrick: She's a mother of two.
Leo: So?
Patrick: "So?" You're not going to be going for drinks. You'll be taking home chicken in a bucket, tripping over toys as you make your way to bed to go to sleep. And then you'll be chained to life, forced to make all the mistakes that your parents did. But if that's what you want to do, go ahead. I would personally never do that to a child.
Leo: You know what that is? That right there -- you know what that is? That's your bachelor brain talking, you know, because if you were in that position, maybe you'd feel a little bit differently, you know?
Patrick: Ok, well, you know what I do know is that I'm never going to find out, so that's it. Go ahead.
Ric: Ok. Is this better?
Woman: Oh.
Ric: Hmm? Huh?
Woman: Oh, my god. Well, it's a start.
Ric: Yeah?
Woman: Oh, whoa, whoa.
Ric: What, what's wrong?
Woman: Wait a minute.
Ric: What, I got something on me?
Woman: You did pay for this, didn't you?
Ric: Yeah, of course I did. What -- what do I have?
Woman: Um -- the tags are still on it.
Ric: I knew that. Ok.
Woman: Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, no.
Ric: Wait -- I'll get it.
Woman: No, no, no! No, no, no.
Ric: I'll get it. Let me get --
Woman: No, let me --
Ric: I'll get it, I'll get it. Stop, stop. I'm very ticklish. Don't do that, don't do that.
Woman: I got it, I got it!
Rick: ok, you got it? Got it? Ok.
Woman: Hold on, ok.
Ric: All right.
Johnny: What's wrong?
Logan: What the hell is this?
Logan: What'd you do? [Gunshot] Maxie: Ah! Elizabeth: I'm back. Kate: If you see Sonny, could you just tell him that -- Sonny: Tell him yourself.
Jan 25, 2008 11:11
Johnny: Whoa, whoa, whoa. What brought this on?
Lulu: Nothing. I'm just saying goodbye. You have to get out of here. I was completely wrong about Logan. I -- I saw him and his father, and he was all set to tell him how he followed me here.
Johnny: Why would he do that?
Lulu: The D.N.A. results -- the ones that could link you to Georgie's murder -- they're missing. They have an A.P.B. out for you. They think that you took them because you're the killer. Are you listening to me? Logan sold us out, we have to get out of here.
Johnny: I'm not going anywhere.
Coop: You want to tell me how you got that?
Logan: Well, coop, I'm ashamed to say it, but I was a little tight -- I needed some cash. I figured you'd keep it in that gearbox with all your other crap like you always did. Well, I found the cash, and then I ran across this -- missing forensics test. The cops ran an analysis of the skin cells under Georgie's fingernails. They figured it'd match the killer's D.N.A. according to this test -- ahem -- that'd be you.
Lucky: They're fine, I promise.
Elizabeth: Has Cameron been behaving?
Lucky: He's been great.
Elizabeth: What about Jake? How's he sleeping?
Lucky: Like a baby.
Elizabeth: Lucky, stop, I'm serious.
Lucky: No, you know what? Everything's totally under control, all right? You just get some rest. The sooner you get better, the sooner you'll be together.
Lucky: Hang on a second. Come in! Sam -- hey, you know what? Give me one second.
Lucky: Hey, Elizabeth, listen, I -- I got to go. So, just get some rest, get well. Cam and Jake -- they send their love.
Boy: Hey -- word is that you've been looking for us.
Michael: I hear you guys can get me some stuff.
Boy: Oh, yeah, man. We can get you all kinds of stuff. Why don't you tell me what you need, and I'll tell you what you have to do to get it.
Kate: I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt. Um -- I was -- I was just wondering if you had heard from Sonny.
Jason: What -- what do you mean? I thought he was in Manhattan with you.
Kate: He was. We didn't exactly leave on the best of terms, and since I haven't heard from him since, I was hoping that --
Jason: What are you talk--
Carly: Ok, no one's heard from Sonny. What the hell did you do to him?
Jason: Ok, hold it, both of you. Go -- go out there, go someplace else. I got -- I got work to do.
Carly: She can go. Sonny's missing and we need to find him.
Jason: I -- I haven't heard from Sonny since he left.
Carly: That was days ago. The last time he went away, someone planted a bomb in his car, Jason.
Jason: If something happened to him, we would've heard about it.
Kate: Oh, yes -- probably someone sending a bloody piece of clothing in the mail or some other form of barbaric evidence?
Carly: That's funny. This kind of talk makes you squeamish -- one more reason you should go back to your ivory penthouse and leave Sonny alone. Did Max or Milo drive him?
Jason: He went alone.
Carly: With everything that's going on, that is stupid.
Jason: Yeah, well, he picked up a driver in the city.
Carly: "A driver in the city"? With Trevor Lansing and the Zaccharas trying to come after him, why did he not take more protection?
Kate: Carly, he came to see me.
Lainey: Elizabeth, hi.
Elizabeth: Hey.
Lainey: I understand you're having trouble sleeping.
Elizabeth: Oh, god, yeah, I'm having really, really bad dreams -- vivid dreams -- almost like I'm afraid to go to sleep.
Lainey: Do you remember what happened in the dreams?
Elizabeth: Yeah, it's the fire. There's all this smoke, and I can't breathe and I can't get to Jake, or I can hear him crying and I can't find him.
Lainey: And you miss him.
Elizabeth: Well, yeah. But, Lainey, I feel so guilty. I mean, this whole thing was my fault. Cameron was playing with matches -- that's how the fire started -- and then I chased him out the door and it locked behind us.
Lainey: Well, it's done, and the good news is you'll make sure that it never happens again.
Elizabeth: I just miss my kids and I want to go home.
Lainey: And you will. But in the meantime, you need to focus on something else.
Kelly: Good advice -- that's exactly what I told her. Ooh. I wouldn't mind spending some time with that.
Man: Ahem.
Nadine: Uh -- can I help you?
Man: I certainly hope so. I'm Dr. Devlin. I'm joining the staff here at general hospital.
Nadine: Oh. Um, that's weird -- I didn't get a memo or notice or anything at all.
Dr. Devlin: Actually, I'm a few days early. I just thought I'd slip in, see the facility on an ordinary day of the week.
Nadine: I'm afraid we don't get many ordinary days around here, actually. Do you want me to call Dr. Ford?
Dr. Devlin: Tell you the truth, I'd really rather be shown around by someone who's more "in the trenches," shall we say?
Nadine: I don't think that's going to be a problem.
Coop: All right, look, I was at the station when these results were delivered from the lab. I pretty much figured that they'd do a random D.N.A. screen on the chance that Johnny Zacchara wasn't a match. But of course, I knew he wouldn't be.
Logan: You know, Georgie's been doing some digging on you. She brought up this phony story about how you brought up the thing that happened in Iraq.
Coop: Private Van Den Berg?
Logan: That's it, the one and only Private Julie. Georgie found out that she was strangled where you were stationed.
Coop: Where we were stationed.
Logan: Yeah, well, Coop, I didn't bring up that.
Coop: Yeah, and what'd you say?
Logan: Nothing, didn't have to -- Lulu was there, she changed the subject.
Coop: Yeah, and you didn't change it back?
Logan: Hell, no, I didn't.
Coop: Kind of funny that you haven't asked me.
Logan: Ask you what, Coop?
Coop: If I'm the one that killed Georgie.
Lulu: Johnny, please. We need to go. Maybe I can hide you at -- at the Quartermaine boathouse -- no one will even look for you there.
Johnny: Do you think I'm the killer?
Lulu: Why would you ask such a ridiculous question like that?
Johnny: Why aren't you answering it? Look, do you think I killed Georgie or Emily? You think I attacked Carly and Maxie?
Lulu: No, of course not.
Johnny: Have you always been so sure?
[Lulu sighs]
Lulu: There are a lot of things that I am not sure about when it comes to you.
Johnny: But you've always been sure about Logan, huh? There was a time when you believed in him completely -- 110%, right?
Lulu: Until he cheated on me with Maxie.
Johnny: So how can you be so sure about me?
Lulu: Because I know you.
Johnny: You don't know me at all.
Johnny: You don't know me.
Lulu: Why are you being like this? Are you -- are you trying to scare me?
Johnny: I'm trying to get you to think -- that might scare you. You react a lot without thinking.
Lulu: Can we talk about this later? We need to go.
Johnny: Oh, and you're brilliantly evasive. Hey, don't get me wrong, I appreciate everything you've done -- taking care of me, bringing me here. You took a lot of risks, but so did Logan.
Lulu: What are you getting at?
Johnny: You said Logan followed you here and saw us. Why do you suppose he did that?
Lulu: I have no idea, especially after he said everything to his father.
Johnny: Did he? Did you actually hear him tell his father that he saw us here?
Lulu: Well, no, not in so many words, but --
Johnny: That is my point exactly.
Lulu: What was I supposed to do, Johnny? I couldn't keep standing there, I had to come back here and help you get away! But apparently, that's not what you want me to do.
Johnny: No, because I don't need your help -- at least, not with this.
Lulu: Are you willing to take that chance?
Johnny: Because I am willing to bet everything I have -- my life, my freedom, the chance to spend more time with you -- that Logan didn't say a damn word to his father.
Lulu: Why wouldn't he? He has every reason to.
Johnny: Except for one -- he is too much in love with you.
Logan: I figured, why bother asking, Coop? You're going to tell me whatever you're going to tell me.
Coop: Yeah, and you're going to believe whatever you believe. But here it is anyway. I didn't strangle Georgie or Emily Quartermaine. And as much as Carly thinks that I killed Leticia and came after her, I didn't. All right, I am not the text message killer. I didn't try to kill Maxie. Why would I? I have no reason.
Logan: Well, Coop, that's the thing with serial killers -- they generally have pretty twisted reasons. That's why they're serial killers.
Coop: No, man, that's -- now you sound like Georgie.
Logan: What is that supposed to mean?
Coop: Well, she thought it was me. I saw her in the park that night that she was killed. All right, she freaked. I tried to calm her down. I tried to explain that I just happened to be walking through and I saw her -- saw her there all alone, and I didn't think that was such a great idea. She was standing there trembling, so I reached out to her. She lost it. She went for me, punching and slapping and scratching -- that's where the skin cells must've come from.
Logan: Then what'd you do?
Coop: Well, what could I do? I backed off. I told her that she didn't have anything to be afraid of -- not from me anyway -- and that she should get the hell out of there, and then I left. If I would've known that she got a text message intended for her sister, I would've called it into the station. But I didn't know. That was the last time I saw her.
Logan: This is the part where I'm supposed to say "I believe you," right?
Maxie: Epiphany, are you busy?
Epiphany: Depends on what you need.
Maxie: I just wanted to tell you I'm not going to be able to volunteer for the next couple of days if that's ok.
Epiphany: Fine by me, because we're not even sure you're here when you are here.
Patrick: Hey, I just paged Robin and found out she left early -- something about her not feeling well. Either one of you know anything about that?
Epiphany: I only know that she left.
Maxie: And I know that you should probably leave her alone, period.
Patrick: Well, thanks for the input. Look, Maxie, we broke up. It doesn't mean I don't care about her.
Maxie: Yeah, you keep telling yourself that.
[Michael sighs]
Michael: Ok, we'll hit up Grandma Bobbie first -- just let me do all the talking, ok?
Carly: What excuse did you use to lure Sonny into Manhattan?
Kate: I didn't, he came on his own, despite a restraining order against him.
Carly: What restraining order?
Jason: There was a guy that had Sonny arrested for assault at the art gallery.
Carly: Oh. And why was he at the art gallery?
Kate: Oh, just give him a little credit, Carly. Look, it was nothing, all right? He came to a party with me, and he took offense to something someone said about me.
Carly: Oh, what'd they say about you -- that you were pretty, that you were smart, that you knew what you were talking about? We need to check every jail cell in Manhattan.
Jason: I already have. There's no record of Sonny being arrested.
Carly: You're worried, too.
Jason: Well, I don't like him being out of touch.
Carly: Where were you the last time you saw him?
Kate: A street corner.
Carly: Wow. Could you be any more purposely vague?
Kate: I don't think the exact location has anything to do with Sonny being gone.
Carly: Really? What do you know? You know nothing! You know nothing about Sonny or his business.
Kate: I know a lot more about Sonny than you think.
Jason: Ok. The last word I have on Sonny came from his driver. He said he picked him up in Bensonhurst.
Carly: Bensonhurst -- where he grew up? Where he had the worst time of his life? Why the hell would Sonny take you to Bensonhurst?
Coop: And why wouldn't you believe me after what we have been through together?
Logan: Oh, come on, Coop. That was war, ok? It changes you, it strips you of everything. Out there on the battlefield, it is simply a matter of survival.
Coop: Oh, you think it's so different here? There's no insurgency, no tanks, no I.E.D.s maybe, but we're still talking about life or death here. Now, we watched each other's backs. We weren't fighting against an enemy. We were fighting to protect each other and praying that the guys in front felt the same way!
Logan: And we made no promises about what would happen after it was over.
Coop: Look, I just want to get Maxie out of here.
Logan: Does she know about the test?
Coop: No, but she knows other things about me -- just like I know other things about you.
Logan: If you're innocent, then who do you think the killer is?
Johnny: How would you feel about Logan if I was right?
Johnny: You were ready to go off with him, someplace safe and cozy. If you hadn't heard him talking to his father, if you hadn't thought he was going to rat us out, you'd still be with him right now, wouldn't you?
Lulu: So?
Johnny: So, I don't want to be a runner-up, or a choice you make out of anger, or a choice you make when things are boring and you need to spice things up.
Lulu: Oh, that is not what this is about.
Johnny: Ok, fine, but I also need to know some things about myself.
Lulu: I don't understand.
Johnny: I need to know that I'm not my father's son -- that I can love somebody, but not to the point of insanity. Not the kind of obsessive love that would drive a man to shoot his own son because he was jealous of a mother's affection. I need to know I can run an empire without scaring you off or putting you into the ground. So far, the ladies in my life have not fared so well.
Lulu: Are you talking about your mother?
Johnny: I remember her hands the most -- the way they trebled. And her voice, how she barely spoke above a whisper. And those little red sneakers -- huh -- so in contrast to the mousy-brown rest of her.
Lulu: Who are you talking about? Johnny? Johnny?
Johnny: The police should be here by now. Go. If I'm wrong about Logan trying to rat me out to the cops, then I won't be here when you come back. But if I'm right -- huh -- you got no reason to be mad at him, and I'll still be here waiting.
Mr. Vaughn: You're back early.
Trevor: How you doing? I found Richard exactly where I thought he'd be.
Mr. Vaughn: What about the Alcazar piers?
Trevor: We talked about it, but I didn't get anywhere -- yet. I will. I am a very patient man.
Mr. Vaughn: You're going to love this -- there's an A.P.B. out on Johnny.
Trevor: Yeah. Why now?
Mr. Vaughn: Something in connection with the murder of the police commissioner's daughter.
Trevor: Well, I assume that he's still with the Spencer girl.
Mr. Vaughn: What if they pick him up?
Trevor: Then they pick him up. The more trouble that our little kid gets into, the sooner she'll get on a plane to get out of here.
Mr. Vaughn: You sure about that?
Trevor: Oh, yeah, trust me. She was devoted to him -- and that was the problem. Mark my words. It'll be the solution as soon as we can find her.
Kate: I don't know, Carly. It was Sonny's idea. Maybe he wanted to get back to his roots.
Carly: Sonny wouldn't go back to his roots unless he was dragged there.
Kate: He took me to a few places he used to know.
Carly: Hmm, like where -- the high school he dropped out of? Or the house where his stepfather beat him and his mother?
Kate: We went to dinner and a movie.
Carly: In Brooklyn?
Kate: In Brooklyn.
Carly: Why?
Kate: What is the difference, Carly, what does it matter?
Carly: Ok, why don't you tell me what does matter? I want to know what happened on that street corner when you and Sonny suddenly split, after you spent a night on the town in good old, rockin' Bensonhurst.
Kate: You know, Jason, this was a mistake -- me coming here -- I'm sorry.
Carly: No, you hold it. Sonny is missing. I want to know what happened the last time you saw him.
Kate: He proposed to me, Carly.
Jan 25, 2008 11:15
Carly: You don't think I buy that, do you?
Kate: No, of course you don't buy it, Carly. Because you can't believe it's possible that Sonny -- or any man in your life -- could care about anyone but you. Sonny didn't exist before you, which means he's not allowed to exist after you.
Carly: You know, I know Sonny. I know Sonny. I know he's been with other women and I know he's loved a few, but they don't last. You know why they don't last? Because they can't take the life, just like you can't take the life. I'm sure that's what sent you back to Manhattan.
Kate: Yes, Carly, you're right, it is.
Carly: And you wanted Sonny to come after you, and he did, and god help us all, he proposed. So where's the ring? I don't see it. Not like Sonny to propose without putting a big ring on your finger to make sure everyone knows you're his. Where is it? He changed his mind. He saw you for who you really are.
Kate: Sonny's always known who I really am. Jason, would you please tell Sonny that I was here?
Jason: Yeah.
Carly: Well, thank god Sonny came to his senses. I mean, can you imagine that woman being my kids' stepmother?
Jason: Ok, just stop, stop!
Carly: Stop what, Jason?
Jason: Stop trashing anything good in Sonny's life. He loves Kate. And I think I'm the one who pushed him into making something happen with her.
Coop: I've been thinking. Alexis Davis and Sam McCall both got threatening text messages after Alexis was attacked.
Logan: That's kind of an odd list of victims, Coop. They got to share something in common.
Coop: Yeah, I think they did, and I think I know what it was.
Logan: Let me guess -- you're not going to tell me, are you?
Coop: Nope.
Logan: What makes you think I'm going to keep my big mouth shut about you? Ok, because I've narrowed my own list of suspects now.
Coop: Oh, and what, I'm one of them?
Logan: Well, let me just put it like this -- you're a person of interest.
Coop: Yeah, well, as fascinating as your theories are, I am out of here, and I want to be ready to leave when Maxie gets here.
Logan: You're skipping town.
Coop: I am getting Maxie someplace safe till this is over.
Logan: Is she save with you, Coop?
Singers: Take it disappear inside by making up a love so sublime right here
Mike: So, where have you been?
Daniel: What do you mean?
Mike: Last night, dinner shift?
Daniel: I wasn't on the schedule last night.
Mike: Yeah, well, you were on my board. Now, this is it, it's your last chance. You blow it again, you're history.
Coop: You want some coffee?
Logan: No, thanks.
Coop: See you around.
Logan: Yeah, you will.
Coop: Hey, can I get some change? It's Daniel, right?
Daniel: Only till somebody remembers it. I'm thinking of changing it -- maybe Dasher, Dancer.
Coop: You know, I've seen you around here and I finally figured out where I know you from.
Daniel: Yeah? Congratulations, because I don't know you.
Coop: Well, maybe not, but like I said, I've seen you around -- Maxie said she has, too.
Daniel: I get around.
Coop: It was Wyndemere -- Cassadine ball on the big island -- you were with the caterers.
Daniel: "Was," dude -- heavy stress, especially that night. I just quit smoking, being stuck out there, jonesing for tobacco. Man, I would've killed for some nicotine.
Coop: Yeah? Listen, Jerry Jacks -- or James Craig or whoever you want to be this time -- like I told you, I am not getting involved.
Dr. Devlin: Thanks for the tour of pediatrics. I'm sorry to take up your time. I'm sure you have much better things to do.
Nadine: Oh, not at all. Besides, I love kids.
Dr. Devlin: It shows -- a lot. It shows in your eyes -- they're very clear and evocative.
Nadine: Really?
Dr. Devlin: Like something from a Botticelli.
Epiphany: Would you mind telling me why you left the front desk?
Nadine: Uh --
Dr. Devlin: Completely my fault -- I asked Nurse Crowell for a tour.
Epiphany: This is a hospital, not a museum.
Dr. Devlin: I'm sorry. And you might be --
Epiphany: I might be the head nurse around here.
Dr. Devlin: I can't very well call you that, now, can I? Not only would it be rude, but as you said, this is a hospital. It should be about healing, not about personalities.
Epiphany: Hmm. Good luck with that.
Dr. Devlin: I still didn't catch your name.
Epiphany: Epiphany, Epiphany Johnson. And as long as we're throwing things around here, I didn't catch your name, either.
Dr. Devlin: Devlin, Dr. Ian Devlin, Oncology. I start next week. I'm just here observing -- and, so far, I'm really impressed with what I see.
Carly: Why would you encourage Sonny to make things work with Kate when, clearly, they can't?
Jason: I don't know that, Carly, neither do you.
Carly: Pushing Sonny into the arms of that woman -- have you seen her, Jason?
Jason: Just because you don't see something good in Kate doesn't mean Sonny isn't allowed to. You know what this is? This is just like me and Elizabeth.
Carly: Oh, Elizabeth? Here we go. Right, mm-hmm.
Jason: Here you are, standing here, celebrating that Kate could be out of Sonny's life for good -- somehow you forgot about Sonny --
Carly: I did not!
Jason: And whatever happened to him hit him so hard that he's off someplace now. You know how he gets! That's fine. You know what? Keeping Kate gone for a little while gets you off my case, Elizabeth's case where Jake is concerned.
Carly: You have a little boy who doesn't have you, so excuse the hell out of me for caring! Don't you want to teach him how to throw a ball? Don't you want to teach him --
Jason: I know you care, ok? I know you care -- it's not good how you show it! You come down on people with both feet because they're not doing what you want or what you think is best! You stand there, you judge, you get to judge again, nobody gets to say anything about what you do! What is this -- you're bored with Jax being gone again?
Carly: I'm sorry. I'm very sorry. I just love you. I , I love you so much, and I want you to have everything. I want all of us to have everything. I want you, me, and Sonny to have it all, and something always gets in the way.
Jason: You're right, Carly. Sometimes that something is -- is you.
Carly: I have to go. You just call me if you hear from Sonny.
Lucky: So, have you or Alexis received any more threatening text messages?
Sam: No. Why?
Lucky: Well, you just seem a little on edge.
Sam: Do I? I am sorry. I thought I was -- I thought I was hiding it better.
Lucky: What exactly are you hiding from?
Sam: You know what, Lucky? I just -- ahem -- I suddenly feel really uncomfortable here, because this is your home that you shared with your wife and your kids, and I -- I don't know. I -- I kind of feel like an outsider right now.
Lucky: I'm sorry, I'm sorry. The last thing I want is for you to feel uncomfortable. And maybe that can change if you want to spend more time here. And maybe you think I'm pushing, but I just -- at least until the text message killer is caught -- but maybe you will consider moving in. I called Audrey, and I wanted her, you know, to come and pick up Jake tonight so we could have a little time together, just the two of us.
Sam: I would like that, yeah.
Lucky: I think we got a chance at something, Sam.
Sam: And I think we have a chance, too.
Lucky: But you're holding on to something else, and you're holding on so tight you can't hold on to me.
Sam: I already told you, it's the fear, ok? What if I -- um -- uh -- what I mean to say is, like, what if --
Lucky: You know what? There's too many "what ifs" in the world. Let's just focus right here, right now.
Sam: What are you doing?
Lucky: That lame thing we used to do in high school.
Sam: I didn't go to high school.
Lucky: I want you to close your eyes.
Sam: Oh, no, come on, you're kidding me.
Lucky: Just close your eyes.
Sam: Close them why?
Lucky: I want you to fall backwards.
Sam: No, you are kidding. Stop it.
Lucky: No, trust me. I'm going to catch you.
Sam: Whew. Ok.
[Sam yelps]
Lucky: Hold on.
Sam: Yeah.
Lucky: Hello? When? No, I'm on my way. They got a lead on Johnny Zacchara. The bastard -- if he killed Emily or he's the one that came after you, I want to be there when he's caught.
Sam: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What -- what about Jake? What -- what about Cameron?
Lucky: Um -- you think you can stay and watch him? Audrey -- she should be here soon.
Lucky: I trust you with him.
Sam: Thank you. Hi. Whoa. Hi, big guy. Peek-a-boo.
Mike: Ok. Hey! What's this -- the gang's all here, huh? Wow -- hey, what do you got there? "Dollars for Dolphins"? Well, that's catchy. Hey, did you come up with that?
Michael: No, I did, but it's his school project and -- well, he needed my help, as usual.
Mike: Well, come on, Michael. Helping your little brother -- that's a good thing. Here you go.
Michael: Whoa, thanks.
Mike: Yeah. So -- um -- you guys want something to eat -- some apple pie?
Morgan: Yeah.
Michael: Uh -- nah, we got to get going.
Mike: You do?
Michael: We got to keep collecting.
Mike: Ok. Have fun out there, good luck.
Michael: Thanks, Grandpa Mike.
Mike: All right.
Michael: See you, Grandpa Mike.
Mike: Bye.
Michael: Ok, look, here is your cut, just like I promised. Now I'll have Max drive you home. And if anyone asks, I had stuff to do after school. Come on.
Logan: I thought you were going to stand me up.
Lulu: I'm going to ask you something, and you might as well tell me the truth because I'll find out anyway.
Logan: What?
Lulu: Did you rat Johnny out when your dad asked where he was?
Logan: Well, it sounds to me as you've already made up your mind.
Lulu: Just answer the question.
Logan: No, Lulu, I didn't. I could have, but I didn't.
Logan: Because I knew that would be the surest way to lose you, and that's the last thing I wanted to do. Though, I get the feeling that's not the answer you wanted.
Dr. Devlin: Again, thanks for the tour of the O.R. May I assume we'll wind up there together -- professionally speaking, I mean?
Leyla: I'm sure it's only a matter of time. I'm still a little curious as to why you chose me to give you a tour and not one of the doctors.
Dr. Devlin: Let me put it to you this way -- doctors are the hands of the hospital, nurses are its heart.
Dr. Devlin: Will you excuse me? I have to take this.
Leyla: Sure.
Regina: So, what do you think?
Leyla: He's trouble.
Nadine: He told me I had the eyes of a Botticelli.
Leyla: You're kidding? He told me I had the throat of a Degas.
Regina: He told me the doctors are the hands of the hospital, and nurses -
Nadine and Leyla: Are its heart.
Nadine: Still, he is pretty cute.
Regina: He's very cute.
Leyla: Trouble.
Patrick: I don't believe it.
[Dr. Devlin laughs]
Dr. Devlin: Patrick Drake.
Patrick: How are you?
Dr. Devlin: Oh, you old --
Patrick: Yeah, shh -- they don't know me by that one here yet.
Nadine: He knows Patrick?
Leyla: Come to think of it, there's nothing wrong with a little trouble.
Trevor: Mr. Moreau, I already apologized on behalf of the entire Zacchara organization for the loss of your shipment on our boat and that's it. I will even things out on our end. We'll be back in business before you know it.
Mr. Vaughn: We found her.
Trevor: Ah -- perfect. Is she still with that scum of an uncle?
Mr. Vaughn: Yeah -- they're in Milan.
Trevor: Yeah, Milan. I would've thought that she'd ended up in a trailer park. The last time I saw her, she had these thick eyeglasses --
Trevor: Long, gangly legs, and she was wiping her nose on her sleeve all the time as she tripped over those crappy red sneakers that she wore when she was getting into the car. Hopefully, she has picked up some class and savoir-faire along the way. But I guess that begs the question -- can an old dog really learn new tricks?
Lulu: No -- um -- I'm -- I'm surprised.
Logan: Huh -- and that's supposed to make me feel better. I told you I wouldn't say anything. But I guess you went to Johnny, and he told you what a useless jerk I was and got you all worked up. You see, Lulu, that's the difference between me and that guy -- I got a soul. So, we still going to go do the pond thing, or what?
Lulu: Well, can we at least get some hot chocolate first?
Logan: It's -- it's not very good here.
Lulu: Well, we're already here. Come on.
Singer: Lost at sea but then you found me
Mike: Hey, guys.
Lulu and Logan: Hi.
Mike: What can I get you?
Lulu: Two hot chocolates, one very large one for Logan because he loves it.
Mike: Oh, very large for you? Not for you?
Lulu: Just a regular one for me.
Logan: Thanks, Mike.
Lulu: Extra marshmallows.
Mike: Ok.
Logan: So when we finish, how about we go back to my place? Unless you got some more business you need to take care of with Johnny?
Singer: 'Cause it'll bleed
[Maxie screams]
Maxie: Help! Help!
Boy: Is this all you've got?
Michael: Yeah.
Boy: You holding out on us, man? This is every last buck?
Michael: I said yes!
Boy: Let me see your pockets.
Boy: It'll do. She's all yours, kid.
Elizabeth: Lucky? I'm back. Where are my boys?
Sam: It's good.
Kate: Jason? It's me, Kate. I'm sorry to interrupt again. I -- think I left my gloves there. Ok -- um -- if you see Sonny, could you just tell him that --
Sonny: Tell him yourself.
Maxie: Help! Help! Help! Elizabeth: Now give me my son, and get out of this house. Kate: I thought something awful had happened to you. Sonny: It did, but I'm finally over you.
Jan 28, 2008 10:45
Lulu: That's Maxie.
Logan: Whoa -- just stay here. I don't want you involved in this.
Lulu: Involved in what?
Maxie: Help! Help! You have to cut him down! Please cut him down, Mike, please!
Mike: Oh, god -- shh.
Maxie: Cut him down!
Elizabeth: What are you doing with my son?
Sam: Lucky -- he -- he got a call --
Elizabeth: Lucky left you alone with Cameron and Jake?
Sam: No, Cameron is not here -- he's at a friend's house. But -- um -- I don't think he thought you were going to be released so soon.
Elizabeth: Yeah, I'll bet you didn't, either. Now, give me my son, and get the hell out of this house.
Nadine: Those two look as thick as thieves.
Regina: The question is, what did they steal?
Leyla: I'd say a bit more than their fair share of broken hearts.
Nadine: Present company included?
Leyla: Oh --
Epiphany: Where I come from, nursing is not a spectator sport. So, you can find something to do, or I'll find it for you.
Patrick: Dr. Ian Devlin in the flesh -- which is how most of the female students got to know you in med school.
Ian: Still jealous?
Patrick: You still have something to prove?
Ian: Hmm.
Patrick: What are you doing here?
Ian: Heard you were on staff, so I assumed they hired only the best.
Patrick: Come on, you're joining our staff?
Ian: I start next week.
Patrick: All right. Well, I'm on break, let me show you around.
Ian: I appreciate that.
Patrick: Cool.
Ian: I have to tell you, what I've seen so far has been most impressive.
Kate: I didn't know you were back. I was worried. I came by earlier to ask Jason if he had heard from you, he said he hadn't, I thought something awful had happened to you.
Sonny: Yeah, it did, actually. But I'm over it. Matter of fact, I'm finally over you.
Kate: I would like to explain.
Sonny: There's nothing to explain. We came together after a lot of years. I overlooked the hurt. You know, I -- I let myself fall in love with you again. I proposed to you, you turned me down -- that's pretty much how it went.
Kate: Well, I'm sure that you're feeling more than that, it's not that cut-and-dry for you.
Sonny: Ok, you want cut-and-dry, I'll give you cut-and-dry! I gave you my heart! And you threw it to the curb, and you walked away -- correction -- you ran away!
Kate: I didn't mean to hurt you.
Sonny: Oh, come on.
Kate: You took me by surprise.
Sonny: Surprise? What do you mean, "I took you by surprise"? I -- you know, I thought I knew who you were. But there's -- there's Connie, who I knew from Bensonhurst with the great smile and that beautiful laugh, and then there's Kate Howard with the flashy career and the big life, and Kate Howard has Connie, you know, just locked in there deep down inside, just buried! And I almost got buried with her.
Kate: No, Sonny, don't.
Sonny: "No" what?
Sonny: You did me a favor the other night, so do me one more. Go out that door. I never want to see you again.
Kate: You know what? I'm not going anywhere. You had your say, and I'm damn well going to have mine.
Boy: Come on, Corinthos. You paid for the piece, take it.
Michael: You know who I am?
Boy: I know who your father is.
Second Boy: How come you didn't just lift the gun off your old man?
First Boy: Maybe he didn't want it to get traced back to his family, or maybe he got caught.
Second Boy: Caught a beating for it.
Michael: My dad's not like that.
Boy: Right. He's father of the year, I bet.
Second Boy: Yeah -- do what daddy says, not what daddy does.
Michael: My dad wants me to be my own man.
Boy: So be a man and take it.
Second Boy: Heavier than you thought it'd be?
Michael: Not really.
Boy: Who you figuring to waste?
Michael: Anyone who tries to hurt my mother or anyone else in my family.
Boy: You sure you know how to use it?
Michael: Yeah, I know -- I watch TV.
Boy: You know, you got a deal on that. You sure you gave us every last buck?
Michael: Yeah. I already said that. I got to go.
Boy: One more thing.
Michael: What?
Boy: You want bullets with that?
Maxie: You have to cut him down! You can't leave him like that!
Jason: We can't touch him until the cops get here.
Maxie: Jason, please, he might still be alive!
Jason: He's not. I'm sorry, Maxie, you shouldn't be in here.
Maxie: No, I'm not leaving!
Mike: Come on, kid, come on, come on, let's go.
Maxie: No, please -- Coop can't leave me! Why is everybody dying?
Mike: Call 911. Coop's dead.
Maxie: No, stop saying that! We don't know that for sure! Just call him an ambulance, ok? Just get an ambulance!
Lulu: What happened? What happened?
Mike: It looks like he stood on a chair, put a noose around his neck, and hung himself.
Maxie: No, he wouldn't do that. Coop had no reason to kill himself. If he's dead, somebody killed him.
Logan: They're on their way.
Jason: Did you hear anything before this happened?
Mike: No, no, nothing. I didn't even know Coop was up there.
Jason: When was the last time you saw Coop?
Maxie: This morning. Um -- we spent last night together. He -- uh -- he said he wanted to go away with me. I -- I went to go pack my bags, and then I came back here to pick him up. This doesn't make any sense.
Jason: It might if we can figure out who the last person was to see him and what they wanted.
Sam: I already fed and changed him, he was just eating a snack.
Elizabeth: Just go.
Sam: I told Lucky I would stay.
Elizabeth: I'm sure you told Lucky a lot of things to weasel your way into his life -- and get back at me and Jason.
Sam: You know what, Elizabeth? Not everything is about you and Jason.
Elizabeth: Oh, it is where you're concerned. Because you are so full of anger and spite, you will do anything to get back at us. It's a shame Lucky's too blind to see it. He can do whatever he wants with his own life, but to leave my son alone with you chills me to the bone.
Sam: With me? I would never do anything to hurt Jake.
Elizabeth: Really? I mean, really, Sam? I mean, is that why you stood there and watched Jake get kidnapped? Is that why you hired two armed thugs to harass us?
Sam: Come on, that was before --
Elizabeth: Bore what? Before you realized that you could get your hooks into Lucky? And before you -- you could keep this -- this whole game of revenge?
Sam: Elizabeth, what's wrong?
Elizabeth: Nothing. Nothing. You need to go.
Sam: No, I don't think so. You look very pale. You don't have to do this. Lucky called Audrey, she's on her way over, she's going to watch Jake for the night. Why don't you lay down, and I will wait until she gets here?
Elizabeth: You are not going to spend another second with my son. And you need to make plans to break things off with Lucky, or I'm going to tell him what a conniving bitch you really are.
Sam: I don't doubt that I deserve that. What I did to those boys was unforgivable.
Elizabeth: Good, then we agree on something. Now, stay out of their lives and mine.
Sam: Ok, well, what about Lucky's? I know I've kept things from him, but so have you -- maybe worse because you were his wife.
Elizabeth: I'm so tired of defending myself. He was an addict, he was having an affair.
Sam: Yes, and you should have let him go.
Elizabeth: I was afraid for him. I was afraid he would bottom out if --
Sam: "If" what? If he found out that you slept with Jason, and the son he wanted so badly wasn't his?
Elizabeth: Well, he knows all that now. What he doesn't know about is you.
Sam: You are now the woman who is filled with spite and anger. You would do anything to get back at me. So -- so, what, does that make you right and -- and me wrong? Everybody's free now, Elizabeth. Everybody is free to make their own choices and be with whoever it is that they want to be with. Go be with Jason -- nobody cares. Lucky and I actually have a chance at being happy together. Or maybe that's it -- is that the problem?
Elizabeth: He doesn't know you.
Sam: No, but I'm sure you're going to tell him and you'll -- you'll destroy him once again.
Elizabeth: Oh, just get out.
Sam: It is not my fault that Jason turned on me and threw me away in the name of protecting me. It is not my fault that you slept with him and got pregnant with his child while you were married to another man. It is not my fault that you lied to your husband and you blew your marriage all to hell. Lucky is with me now.
Elizabeth: You're using him.
Sam: No, you are wrong! I am falling in love with him.
Ric: Hi.
Woman: You look like you were just somewhere else.
Ric: I just -- just remembered something.
Woman: Looked more like a someone.
Ric: Guilty.
Woman: Good memory this time, unlike those at your family home?
Ric: Oh, yeah, a good one -- one of the few.
Woman: Now, why is that? Why does a man that's so handsome and successful have so few good memories?
Ric: Well, I don't know. Maybe because I let anger and revenge rule most of my life.
Woman: You mean most of your life so far -- you are still young.
Ric: And still angry.
Woman: With who?
Ric: You name it -- my father, my half brother, myself.
Woman: So? Change.
Ric: Oh -- ok.
Woman: Yeah, I mean, you obviously want to. Otherwise, you wouldn't have come here to, you know, face the past.
Ric: Well, you know, I do have a chance to change everything. That scares me to death.
Woman: Hmm. Why?
Ric: What if I let go of all of the anger and all of the pain and all of the revenge -- I find that there's nothing left of me?
Boy: Would I lie to you about such a thing?
Michael: It's no good without bullets.
Boy: How many you need?
Michael: I don't know.
Boy: Ain't free, you know.
Second Boy: Special price for new customer -- 10 bucks a pop -- no pun intended.
Michael: I already told you -- I don't have any more money.
Boy: Then look us up when you do.
Michael: I will.
Sonny: You had your chance to have your say. I was -- I was on my knees -- can you imagine? On my knees -- captive audience, and I -- I didn't hear anything. So whatever you have to say to me right now, I don't want to hear. We're done.
Kate: How dare you summarize my entire life on the refusal of an engagement ring.
Sonny: You left port Charles to go to Manhattan, to be with your -- with your fancy magazine and your squirrelly friends. I should've left well enough alone. But I didn't want to give up, and I didn't want you to give up.
Kate: I never said "goodbye" to you. I never wanted to say "goodbye" to you -- all those years ago, and not the other night.
Sonny: Yes, you did! You said it a hundred different ways, but I didn't want to hear it! You told me how many times that -- that my life, my violence terrifies the hell out of you?
Kate: Well, guess what, Sonny -- almost being shot in a restaurant does that to normal people! And let's not forget that you made it very clear that my life alternately bored you and drove you to the point of physical violence!
Sonny: I tried, Kate!
Kate: And I tried, too, Sonny.
Sonny: No, you failed because you wanted to fail.
Kate: You know what I actually did when I left you? I actually missed you, day and night. What I did was agonize over my decision. And I let myself wonder if the threat of being killed by an enemy of yours was worth being in love with you.
Sonny: And the answer's no, so it's not a big deal.
Kate: And the answer was yes, Sonny. When you showed up at my hotel room, I was over the moon. Do you know what? If you would ask me right then and there, I might've made the mistake in saying yes.
Tracy: Oh -- Monica, I was looking for you, I need a minute.
Monica: Well, I don't have one.
Tracy: Find one.
Monica: Ok, what is the drama now?
Tracy: Well, because of the hatchet job you did on Luke, he has run off to parts unknown to feel alive again.
Monica: Or maybe he's just running away from you, Tracy, in which case, I'm sorry, I can't fix floundering marriages.
Tracy: I can fix you.
Monica: What does that mean?
Man: Dr. Monica Quartermaine?
Monica: What?
Man: Are you Dr. Monica --
Tracy: Yes! Just give it to her! I'm not paying you by the hour!
Monica: Give what? What --
Man: You've just been served.
Monica: Served with what?
Tracy: A suit for malpractice.
Monica: You got to be kidding.
Tracy: Do I look like I'm joking?
Alan: You never had much of a sense of humor.
Tracy: You stay out of this.
Monica: Tracy, you try to sue me, and I will see that you're back in Shadybrook faster than you can talk to a chair.
Tracy: Been there, done that. Besides, daddy doesn't care if I speak to my dead brother. He needs me to make sure that E.L.Q. doesn't go under, which is what this hospital is going to do if you botch another surgery.
Monica: Luke pulled through.
Tracy: No thanks to you. You froze in the middle of a bypass surgery. You almost cost my husband his life.
Alan: Actually, Luke's way of living almost cost him his life.
Tracy: Everybody in that operating room was a witness. As a matter of fact, Luke's family heard your pathetic admission right here on this spot.
Monica: Ok, what do you hope to get out of this?
Tracy: A pound of flesh -- and judging from the way you wield a scalpel, there's probably plenty of it lying around.
Monica: You call your lawyer and you end this.
Tracy: No, I'm not going to do that.
Monica: Taking me to court isn't going to bring Luke back from wherever he is hiding!
Tracy: It could save another life.
Monica: You just want to punish Luke, but you can't find him, so you're going to punish me instead.
Tracy: You know what just occurred to me? You were the one that looked after Alan when he got --
Alan: Don't go there. Don't go there.
Tracy: From the hostage situation. Maybe you killed him. Oh!
Tracy: All right, that's it, I've had it! Get over there! I have had it with you!
Monica: Just stop it right now!
[Monica and Tracy shout]
Sonny: What difference would it have made when and where I proposed?
Kate: All the difference in the world, Sonny.
Sonny: Why?
Kate: The lovely dinner at Fortunato's?
Kate: The movie theater we used to make out at --
Sonny: Mm-hmm.
Kate: As teenagers? The -- the street corner, even, where we promised to meet? It was just like old times. That's when it hit me.
Kate: You don't love me.
Sonny: Are you serious? That's what you -- "I don't love you"? I just asked you to -- to spend the rest of our lives together.
Kate: No, no, you didn't.
Sonny: No?
Kate: You didn't ask me. You didn't ask me to marry you. The girl that you want is Connie. You're not in love with me. You're in love with a memory.
Mr. Vaughn: Was that her?
Trevor: Absolutely -- but she's still just as monosyllabic. Yeah. I told her that our little Johnny is such in a lot of trouble, that if she really cared about him, she might come and surprise him, stay a while.
Mr. Vaughn: You think she bought it?
Trevor: I don't know. Hope springs eternal. But if there was ever anybody who really had a calming influence on our problem child, it was her.
Mr. Vaughn: This still begs the question -- will she do it?
Trevor: I think she's going to see the truth of what I've been saying, and then -- then we can move forward with my plan.
Johnny: And what would those plans be?
Maxie: I came to tell Coop that I was ready to go.
Mac: Go where?
Maxie: He wanted to go away with me for a few days.
Mac: Where?
Maxie: Well, we talked about going to Canada, but that -- that didn't really matter. He just -- he wanted to spend a few days with me.
Mac: Did anyone hear, see, or talk to Cadet Barrett after Maxie left?
Logan: I did.
Mac: What did you two talk about?
Elizabeth: I don't believe you love Lucky, or that you're even capable of that emotion.
Sam: I really don't care what you think. You know, I am suddenly realizing how surprised I am that I could actually feel something like love after everything I have been through.
Elizabeth: Oh, god, I didn't think it could get any worse and it just did.
Sam: Really? Because what happens if it turns out that Lucky has the same feelings and he's falling in love with me? That this arrangement could wind up being permanent, and Lucky and Cameron and Jake and I could be a family -- like you and Jason and Jake and Cameron won't?
Elizabeth: You don't deserve a man like Lucky, and my children are not safe around you. I won't let this happen.
Sam: Oh, my god --
Elizabeth: Just go, just go.
Sam: You're bleeding.
Jan 28, 2008 10:48
Lucky: That tip was a bust -- what happened?
Sam: I think one of the stitches popped on her leg when she was putting Jake into his crib.
Elizabeth: I'm fine.
Lucky: No, you're not, you're white as a ghost. Did you call somebody?
Sam: I couldn't -- she passed out, like, two seconds before you came in.
Lucky: Ok, I'm taking you back to the hospital.
Elizabeth: I just want to go home.
Lucky: You can't -- the construction on your house won't be finished until tomorrow. And you're bleeding, and you won't be any good to Cameron and Jake in this condition. There's no reason to worry about them.
Sam: Just go. I'll -- I'll stay here with Jake, he'll be fine.
Officer: You can't come in here.
Spinelli: Stone cold, look, I didn't know you were here. Please -- please don't be angry still. Are you -- what happened here?
Jason: Cooper -- he's dead. Maxie found him in his room, he hung himself. They think it's a suicide.
Spinelli: But you think otherwise?
Logan: Oh, you know, I came to see Coop in his room, I needed to borrow some money. Um -- we talked in his room, then we came down here. He wanted some coffee, I didn't, so I left.
Mac: Can anyone verify that?
Daniel: I can.
Logan: Coop wanted to get away with Maxie for a while.
Mac: Well, did he seem nervous at all?
Logan: Coop was Coop.
Mac: Meaning?
Logan: He wasn't a heart-on-his-sleeve kind of guy, you know?
Det. Harper: Well, you served together in the army. You didn't know how to read him?
Logan: Look, we were soldiers. I wasn't the man's psychiatrist. Played everything close to the vest. You couldn't tell what Coop was thinking just by looking at him. You just had to -- you had to go on his word for things, you know?
Mac: Did you see Barrett?
Jason: Only after Maxie found him.
Mac: Maxie, did Coop express any feelings of sadness or regret, any remorse?
Maxie: No. And stop trying to act like Coop killed himself -- he didn't. I knew him better than anyone, he had nothing to hide.
Det. Harper: Well, it looks as if he did. One of the officers found this in Barrett's pocket. It's the missing forensics report -- the D.N.A. match off Georgie to our killer.
Mac: It doesn't match Johnny Zacchara. It matches Coop. He was the text message killer.
Maxie: That's a lie.
Johnny: Leave us.
Trevor: You know, you look pretty good -- for somebody who almost blew himself up on our company ship.
Johnny: Lulu could've died in that explosion -- you and your filthy deal with Moreau.
Trevor: Hey.
Mr. Vaughn: Is there a problem, Mr. Lansing?
Trevor: No, Vaughn. Everything's all right, thank you. John, you were the one who drew Lulu Spencer into this. I told you to cooperate with Moreau. Instead, you spat in his face.
Johnny: And what did you do?
Trevor: I tried to make an alliance. Everything that went wrong was because you are a hotheaded amateur.
Johnny: I took control.
Trevor: You took control of dirt. You almost killed yourself. And you destroyed not only our ship, but an alliance that we could've used against Corinthos.
Johnny: An alliance that's still mine to make.
Trevor: Oh, Johnny. Not necessarily. What am I, chopped liver?
Kate: I was the one who wasn't getting the signals. From the moment I arrived in port Charles, you've been trying to bait Connie into coming to the surface with no regard for what it would do to me.
Sonny: Because I thought it -- it might make you human again.
Kate: Ok, so what you and your associates do to each other -- that's human?
Sonny: We got to do what we got to do to survive, Kate.
Kate: Well, Sonny, that's what I had to do. You think I could get where I wanted to go in polyester shorts, eating lasagna off tinfoil?
Sonny: Then maybe where you wanted to go wasn't such a great place.
Kate: Right, so the place where you are? Um, bodyguards for your children, kidnapping threats, assassination attempt -- what is so enviable about the place you put yourself in? And god help me, Sonny, but I can see past all of it and still be in love with you. No matter what, I can -- I can love you for the man that you've become, but you cannot grant me the same grace.
Sonny: That boy had nothing!
Kate: And that boy still has nothing. You're still angry at the world, trying to get back at it instead of living in it. You are living behind a mask of pain. I see him, Sonny. I can see glimpses of him when -- when you let them come out, when you leave this tomb of an office, when -- when you let someone coax you into doing something completely unselfish and uncalculated, like saving your brother's life and giving him blood when he needed it. Now, you told me that you did that for me.
Sonny: I did do it for you.
Kate: No, I don't think so. I think you did it for the little boy inside you, but you can't be proud of yourself, Sonny. You can't let down your guard because you're too afraid of showing weakness.
Sonny: You want to talk about somebody afraid of showing weakness? You want to talk about somebody unable to give an inch? Why don't we talk about the real reason you don't want to marry me?
Sonny: You painted a perfect world for yourself -- sitting up there in your upper eastside prison, being very careful not to let the past interfere with anything that has to do with your make-believe life. You are untouchable, Ms. Howard, but you are lonely as hell. No, let me -- let me just say that again -- Connie is lonely as hell.
Kate: You're wrong, Sonny.
Sonny: No, that's Kate Howard talking. Sure, she surrounds herself with, you know, people that she doesn't care about or -- or respect, but Kate Howard is just a designer suit of armor you drape over yourself when you go out in public. But Connie is still somewhere locked in there, screaming for help. The beautiful, silly girl who used to, you know, look down on everyone, thought she was better than anyone, until she'd snort out a laugh because she forgot herself. She is standing right in front of me -- cool as a statue, afraid to break because she doesn't want the real woman to come out.
Kate: Ok, so I'm right -- there's nothing about Kate Howard that you love.
Sonny: Kate Howard doesn't want to be loved! She doesn't want it, she doesn't need it, it scares the hell out of her! Kate Howard doesn't want to be Mrs. Sonny Corinthos, she doesn't want to be Mrs. Anybody.
Kate: That is ridiculous.
Sonny: That is not ridiculous! I wanted a life for us. You know, husband and wife, the real -- the real things. Doing real things, you know, like bumping each other trying to get a cup of coffee, having snowball fights with Michael and Morgan, laying on a couch, you know, falling asleep together, waking up in each other's arms, laughing about who -- who snored the loudest.
Kate: I want those things, too.
Sonny: No, you don't, no, you don't! Because eventually, the contact would be too much for Ms. Howard. Connie would -- would show herself more, and Kate Howard's not going to have that! Because she's going to have her magazine, she's going to have her name, and she's going to have her say, but I tell you what -- she's going to have nothing else when she could've had everything.
Ric: Look, without going into the deep, dark details of their lives, I can turn this property over to my father, and he can use it to destroy my brother. Or I could turn it over to my brother and he could use it to destroy my father. Or I could hold on to it myself and -- I don't know.
Woman: Oh, god. And the woman who gave you this devil's choice -- she's --
Ric: Skye -- she's -- she's not in the picture anymore.
Woman: Was she special to you?
Ric: I don't know. I guess -- I guess she -- she could've been. She had the good sense to walk away when she did. She saw me as another mistake in a long list of self-destructive landmark decisions and left town.
Woman: Hmm. Ok, so you came here to decide who is the least or most deserving of the three of you?
Ric: She said -- Skye -- that this could either be my salvation or my destruction.
Woman: Uh -- what do you say?
Ric: I don't know. I mean, look, I'm -- I practically told a complete stranger my entire life story, so I think that qualifies you for an opinion. If you were me, what would you do?
Woman: Whatever you're looking for, it ain't in these papers. It's in your heart.
Ric: Huh. Some people would say that I'd have to find that first.
Woman: Why not start there?
Monica: Tracy, I've had it with you! I really have --
Tracy: Agh -- stop!
Monica: Let me help you up, Tracy.
Tracy: Let go of me! I'm going to have you arrested for assault.
Monica: Can you imagine what Alan would be thinking right now? First, you forge his will, and then you assault his grieving widow.
Tracy: Which I als-- almost became, and I'm going to save another woman from becoming a grieving widow. Oh, you can rip that up into tiny little pieces, it's not going to make a bit of difference.
Epiphany: I guess --
[Cassius coughs]
Epiphany: Nursing has become a spectator sport around here.
Patrick: We have some of the best research facilities this side of the Mississippi.
Leyla: Nice to see you again, Dr. Devlin.
Patrick: So you've met Nurse Mir?
Ian: She gave me a tour of the O.R.
Patrick: Yes, Leila's very proficient, eager to learn.
Ian: How is she as a nurse?
[Ian chuckles]
Patrick: You finally decide what you want to do when you grow up? Last time I heard, you were heading for the fleshpots of Hollywood, going into plastics.
Ian: As much as your salacious imagination would have me in a sea of needy breasts, I found myself doing more than my share of reconstructive surgery for cancer survivors. I decided rather than do damage control, I'd start on the other end -- I'm an oncologist.
Patrick: Wow. That's a dramatic change.
Ian: Maybe I'm not as shallow as you remember.
Ian: Why don't you show me the lab.
Patrick: It's this way. So, what kind of cases pique your interest?
Ian: The hopeless ones.
Det. Harper: It's kind of ironic, isn't it -- a guy who strangles people winds up hanging himself?
Mac: You have any doubts about this?
Officer: The tread marks match the photos of the ones on the perimeter of the crime scene, as well as the ones walking away from it.
Det. Harper: No doubts now.
Mac: Thank you.
Maxie: He was innocent.
Mac: I'm sorry, Maxie. Look, Coop felt he had nowhere to go.
Maxie: We were going away together.
Det. Harper: Well, it's a good thing you didn't -- you could've ended up a hostage or worse.
Mac: Sweetheart -- Maxie --
Maxie: I want to see him, please, dad.
Mac: No, absolutely not, no.
Maxie: He didn't have anyone, nobody except for me. I have to at least ride with him in the ambulance.
Mac: Maxie, he killed your sister.
Maxie: No, he did not!
Lulu: I feel awful for Maxie. First, Georgie, now Coop -- it's just -- it's hard to believe. I mean, what kind of reason would Coop have to do something like this?
Logan: Well, we won't know what was going through his head now.
Kate: Wow. That hurts -- and mostly because it's probably true. I still love you, Sonny. I still want you. What can I do?
Sonny: "What can you do?"
Kate: What we can we do?
Sonny: We can make sure that, you know, history doesn't repeat itself a third time. Or we can just pretend that you never came into this office out of the storm and back into my life. Or I can just pretend that I -- I never really knew you.
Kate: Well, I can't do that.
Sonny: Well, I can't -- I don't want to, either, but I'm going to have to.
Sonny: Ahem. Doesn't "Couture" magazine have a deadline that maybe you need to go to?
Singer: You're used to getting things the easy way my life has been in all these years yes, I've paid for honesty I bend my heart on the ground
Singers: But then you came around
Singer: And everything was clear
Singers: You came around
Woman: You know, there are other places to eat at Martha's Vineyard.
Ric: Yeah, but I like it here. You know, it's safe, welcoming.
Woman: And therein lies the danger. This place is called "The Siren" -- named after the beautiful maidens of the sea who sing their songs of welcome to the sailors on the ship to lure them to their death on the rocks?
Ric: Oh. Well, they probably died happy -- I mean, how many men can say that?
Woman: Oh, god, put your papers away, they can wait, happiness cannot.
Ric: You're very wise, you know that?
Woman: Yeah, well, I talk too much, t -- um -- eventually I'll get around to saying something sensible.
Ric: Whoever tells you that you talk too much doesn't listen to you.
Woman: Yeah, but I -- I got other customers, so --
Ric: So I'll see you tomorrow, yeah?
Woman: Yeah, true.
Singer: Then you came around everything was
Jason: Hey, hey, what -- what'd you find?
Spinelli: Ok, I -- I hacked into the police database per your request and left the information you inquired about on your desk. But can I ask, why the sudden interest?
Jason: I guess it's possible it could be an open-and-shut case against Cooper, but one thing is bothering me.
Spinelli: What?
Jason: I got a call from Cooper. I mean, it couldn't have been much before he died. What would a guy about to kill himself want to tell me?
Lulu: As awful as this is --
Lulu: It means Johnny's innocent.
Logan: Did you think he wasn't?
Trevor: Good news -- they just dropped the A.P.B. on you. So, from now on, you're going to be more careful -- and you're going to follow my advice to the letter.
Johnny: And if I don't?
Trevor: Well, John, I got miles to go before I sleep. And you'd be surprised how many tricks I still got up my sleeve.
Maxie: The person who killed Georgie is still out there. Elizabeth: You're not going near my children after what you did. Kelly: I gather you haven't told the guy who got you pregnant that he's the father
Jan 30, 2008 06:19
Tracy: Stop what you're doing!
Monica: Oh, cue the beast.
Tracy: Those are my belongings out on the lawn. What is going on here?
Monica: An exorcism.
Regina: Loser buys vending machine junk food.
Nadine: You're on.
Ian: Ah, the overworked and understaffed angels of General Hospital.
Nadine: Ian.
Regina: Hello.
Ian: Good evening.
Nadine: Hmm.
Epiphany: Don't encourage him. One Patrick Drake in this hospital is enough.
Ian: Feel like we're back in med school -- you have the nurses taking bets.
Lainey: Ok, that's more than I needed to know. I will do a psych consult on Mrs. Bowman and I'll keep you advised.
Patrick: Absolutely. You're not even on staff yet and you're up to your ears in hospital gossip? So what's the wager?
Ian: Will you ask the lovely Nurse Mir to scrub in on your temporal lobectomy or not? I gather she made off with your clothes, left you hanging out to dry -- as it were.
Patrick: You think I would stoop to payback?
Ian: Yeah.
Leyla: Monitor Mrs. Levy's bowel obstruction?
Robin: Well, the human race is evolving at an accelerated rate it seems, but that doesn't include the male species. They are still ruled by primal urges, which means they're only good for one thing.
Kelly: I gather you haven't told the guy who got you pregnant that he's a father?
Robin: He couldn't care less.
Kelly: And how does that make you feel?
Jason: Hack into the phone records, find out who Cooper called before and after he left me the message that he wanted to talk to me.
Spinelli: Yes. The grasshopper obeys and assumes by his master's continued interest that he is still not convinced that cadet Coop is the text message killer. Which would mean that Coop's ironic demise by self-inflicted strangulation is neither ironic nor self-inflicted.
Jason: Spinelli?
Spinelli: Yes, I strive to be terse and laconic like men of action everywhere.
Alexis: I have a prepared statement and then I'll take your questions. The man in the press that you have referred to as the "text message killer" has killed for the last time.
Tracy: No -- no! That's mine!
Monica: Oh, let her have the dreadful thing. Just tell security to watch out, ok? Thank you.
Tracy: You cannot throw me out of the family house.
Monica: It is my house!
Alan: I gave it to her.
Tracy: Everything you have, everything you are, you owe to the Quatermaine family. You have been living off our generosity.
Monica: Oh, please -- have the tasers ready, fellows!
Alan: What did you think she was going to do? You filed a malpractice suit against her.
Tracy: She almost killed my husband on the operating table.
Alan: And now your husband is out trying to commit as many of the seven deadly sins as that wreck of a heart will allow him to, and that's what's really eating you, Tracy. See, he'd rather die fast than die of boredom with you.
Tracy: So, daddy, tell me -- did you know about Monica throwing me out?
Edward: Ooh, I heard her threatening to, hmm?
Tracy: Ok, well, even though it's her house, we can still override her with a family vote.
Monica: Yeah, let's take a vote. All in favor of tossing Tracy to the curb, raise their hand.
Tracy: Daddy, I don't believe this.
Alan: You practically begged Monica to do this.
Tracy: How could you choose her over me?
Edward: Besides the fact that you stole the company out from under me, and you refused to give me my heart medicine while I was lying on the floor practically dying.
Tracy: You weren't dying.
Edward: Oh, you didn't know that.
Tracy: Daddy, that was ancient history!
Monica: And you will be, too, unless you drop the malpractice suit.
Tracy: What are you doing?
Monica: Look familiar?
[Echoes]
Elizabeth: Jake? Jake, I'm coming, Jake!
Sam: It's ok, it's ok. It was just a dream -- you were having a bad dream.
Elizabeth: Why are you here?
Sam: To make peace.
Alexis: The satisfaction that I take in telling you that this serial killer can no longer threaten the lives of the citizens of Port Charles is tempered by the fact that this person who committed these heinous crimes was, in fact, an officer in training in this very police department -- Cooper Barrett. Mr. Barrett's reign of terror was brought to an end by his final victim, Georgie Jones, who bravely tried to fight off her attacker.
[Shutters click]
Alexis: Skin was taken from underneath Ms. Jones' fingernails -- it was a D.N.A. match to Barrett's. Those test results, which Cooper Barrett stole from this squad room, have been discovered with his body after he committed suicide by hanging. If you have any questions, I'll take them now.
Reporter: As police cadet, Barrett had relatively easy access, he had means. But look at the other victims -- the Corinthos nanny and Emily Quatermaine, the attempts on Georgie Jones' sister and Carly Jacks. What's your theory about motive? Why did he do it?
Maxie: He didn't do it.
Spinelli: Aren't you supposed to be in the hospital or something?
Maxie: Listen to me, ok? Coop didn't kill my sister, he didn't kill Emily, he didn't try and kill me, he absolutely didn't kill himself. He is not the text message killer and you are going to help me prove it.
Lulu: Ugh.
Logan: Let me get that.
Lulu: How can you be so nice to me after the way I treated you, assuming the worst?
Logan: I've given you reason to.
Lulu: Yeah, but you didn't turn Johnny into the police. I was wrong.
Logan: Lulu, I don't like that guy, all right? But you see something in him, something good -- maybe, you know, something he didn't even see in himself. And that's the reason you gave me a second chance, so I got to deal with it.
Lulu: No, no, there is nothing to deal with. There is nothing going on with me and Johnny like that. Can you just do me a favor?
Logan: Name it.
Lulu: Can we not talk about him?
Logan: Well, I think I can do a little better than that. Now that you're off work, I'm going to take you out, show you some fun.
Monica: My husband's will -- or rather, the one you forged.
Tracy: I didn't -
Edward: No, you had Luke do the dirty work.
Monica: Which just makes you a lousy accomplice.
Edward: You see, no one actually believed all that poppycock that Luke put in the will about the special bond that you and Alan shared -
Alan: Actually, that part was true.
Edward: That made it necessary for him to donate everything to you out of some misguided sense of loyalty.
Monica: You know, even if Alan had decided to stick it to us -- the whole family, as a parting shot -- he never would've done it to Emily.
Alan: But you got greedy.
Edward: But you got greedy.
Monica: Emily was the hope of this family. She was everything good about us. If you hadn't cheated her out of her inheritance -
Tracy: Oh, no, you don't!
Monica: If she had realized that we needed her as much if not more than Nikolas -
Tracy: You're not going to blame me for Emily's death any more than you can blame me for this family turning into a Eugene O'Neill play. All we need is a little more drinking.
Monica: I'm celebrating.
Tracy: Huh, yeah, you are, and living in style. In fact, even if your career went up in smoke, you'd still be living in style -- why? Because of the one true salvation of this family -- me.
Edward: Oh, please!
Tracy: So what if I did forge the will?
Edward: Aha!
Monica: Huh -- you admit it!
Tracy: No, I'm not admitting anything. I'm just pointing out that your lifestyle never changed because I have been carrying this family!
[Tracy sighs]
Tracy: How about a truce?
Patrick: This is an autopsy.
Regina: Ms. Quinn -- she's one of your patients.
Patrick: I didn't order this.
Robin: I did.
Regina: Well, her results will be ready soon.
Robin: Her cause of death didn't make sense, and I was hoping that this would provide us with some answers.
Patrick: Sometimes there are none, Robin. Sometimes you just have to let go and move on.
Paramedic: It's a bottleneck down in the E.R., so they told us to come directly up here. She's got some blunt head trauma from an explosion. Blood pressure's 144/88, heart rate's 130.
Leyla: A bomb?
Paramedic: No, high-school chemistry class.
Girl: I guess I can forget about that extra credit.
Patrick: Can you tell me where it hurts?
Girl: How many times has he used that line?
Leyla: Too many to count.
Ian: What's your name, beautiful?
Girl: Huh -- oh, the competition. God, this place is a regular hotbed.
[Girl groans]
Patrick: Ok, let's go. It could be a cerebral edema or a bleed.
Ian: Ok, I'm going to need an E.T. tube and an ambu bag. We need to hyperventilate her. Put her in reverse trendelenburg.
Spinelli: I'm -- I'm sure the doctors are most concerned about your posttraumatic well-being.
Maxie: Ok. Well, I'm not going to sit around some hospital while people are spreading lies.
Spinelli: Ok, wait. I mean, you were -- you were still dealing with the attempt on your own life when your sweet sister was brutally murdered. It was tragedy enough to have to see wise Georgie's lifeless body, but -- but now to find -
Maxie: Coop hanging by his neck in his room?
Spinelli: And with duty-bound Mac dispensing justice and your estranged mother gone, don't you think it would be wise to seek the help of a professional to aid you in your grief?
Maxie: I'm not grieving.
Spinelli: The -- the massive data influx has overloaded your emotional power -
Maxie: Spinelli, don't you dare tell me how to feel. I will not let myself grieve, not until I clear Coop's name.
Spinelli: It's impossible for you to be objective.
Maxie: You're right! I am not objective because I knew Coop like nobody else did. He showed me his heart. Spinelli, he is not the text message killer!
Spinelli: The alternative would be too painful to contemplate.
Maxie: Ok, well, contemplate this. You're going to help me find out who really killed my sister. And if you don't, I'm going to show you just how bad the bad blond one can be. Huh. Spinelli, you say you cared about my sister. Here's your chance to prove it. You owe her, because the person who killed Georgie is still out there.
Lulu: You're a lifesaver.
Daniel: No problem. I could use the extra shift after missing work the other night.
Logan: The night Alexis Davis was attacked, right?
Daniel: So the guy who hung himself upstairs is the text message killer -- crazy, right?
Lulu: Yeah, creepy is more like it, but at least we know he won't be hurting anybody else.
Daniel: Well, enjoy your night off.
Lulu: Thank you.
Mac: A psychological profile of Detective Barrett is already emerging -- a loner who may have been involved in criminal activity -- something our own screening process missed. You can bet that will be looked into.
Reporter: How does it feel that your daughter's killer won't be brought to justice?
Mac: He's facing a higher justice.
Mayor Floyd: All right, ladies and gentlemen, no more questions. Thank you very much for coming. Good night.
Lucky: Mac -
Mac: What kind of question was that? I mean, what did -- what did she expect me to say?
Lucky: I'll make sure it never happens again.
Mac: That I wish I would've killed the son of a bitch myself? Yeah, I wish I had, Lucky. I brought him into this department.
Lucky: Mac, don't do this to yourself.
Mac: He killed my daughter.
Lucky: It's over. Mac, it's over.
Sam: I just wanted to apologize because I think that Lucky and I should've probably talked to you and -- and made it very clear about how far things have progressed with us as a couple -- I mean, that we're actually together now.
Elizabeth: I'm not following -- what are you apologizing for?
Sam: Come on, Elizabeth -- the whole unpleasant scene when you walked in and found me baby-sitting. I think it could've been avoided. I screwed up. I screwed up bigtime and I am going to have to live with that for the rest of my life, but I care about Lucky, more -- more than I ever realized or thought I would and -- and I care about those kids, I care about what's best for them, and I think that it might be best for all of us to start working together. I'm just -- I'm asking you to maybe let go of the past, to maybe start thinking about letting me be a part of the kids' lives. I just -
Elizabeth: If you think I will ever let you be alone with my children again after what you did, you are out of your mind.
Monica: Too late, Tracy. You missed your chance at a peaceful resolution.
Tracy: Ok, Monica. But if anything happens to my husband, you're going to have a lot more than a malpractice suit to worry about -- I will take everything you have and throw you out on the street.
Monica: Well, not if you're here first.
Tracy: Don't make idle threats. You will hear from my lawyer in the morning. I am going to the Metro Court to stay.
Monica: I don't make idle threats.
Patrick: I want to perform a C.T. scan on your head.
Girl: To check my brain capacity?
Patrick: No, to check for swelling -- the way you passed out.
Girl: Look, I just got dizzy. It happens sometimes, since I got pregnant.
Patrick: I still want to run the C.T. scan for her.
Girl: It'll give me character -- a scar.
Ian: It's sutured, so there won't be one. I can do subcuticular sutures, which means "underneath the skin," so you won't even see it. You can get character the old-fashioned way. Nurse Mir? While we're waiting for that C.T. scan, you want to grab a quick bite?
Patrick: You know the rules.
Ian: Hey, you put the girl back in play.
Mayor Floyd: Well done, District Attorney Davis. This is a very good day for Port Charles.
Alexis: Thank you, Mayor, and how's your leg?
Mayor Floyd: Oh -- much better, thanks for asking.
Alexis: You bet.
Jerry: Hello there.
Alexis: What are you doing here?
Jerry: Well, I had a small traffic matter to attend to and I decided to stay to see the lovely new D.A. in action. Oh, the mayor was right to be impressed -- although that reporter did have a point. I mean, Cooper Barrett seemed like an unlikely serial killer -- from the little I knew of him.
Alexis: This is more common than you would expect in Port Charles. Very often, seemingly law-abiding citizens turn into psychopaths.
Jerry: Oh, well, and alleged psychopaths turn into wonderful company. And, no, seriously -- I mean, despite the consensus that you've got your man, I'm still not comfortable with you walking the streets alone.
Alexis: That's ok. Now that I'm D.A., I have an image to protect.
Jerry: Yes, maybe, but it would be different if Ric was here to look after you and the kids. I -- I gather he ran off with Skye.
Alexis: Actually, Skye ran off without him.
Jerry: Oh, really? I thought the two of them had a symbiotic relationship.
Alexis: I think something that would've led to mutually assured destruction, but in a moment of sanity, Skye opted out -- but not before leaving Ric with the means to self-destruct.
Reporter: Are you satisfied that the PCPD got this right, that Cooper Barrett is your sister's killer?
Jason: No comment.
Reporter: Is there any chance the cadet's death was a mob hit and not a suicide?
Mac: The man said no comment.
Elizabeth: You're not going near Jason's son, near either of my children ever.
Sam: What am I supposed to say? What, what, I'm supposed to say, "Sorry, Lucky. I can't be alone with your kids, but don't ask me to explain why"? How am I supposed to share my life with him? I'm not -- I guess that's the point.
Elizabeth: Because I can't trust you.
Sam: Or maybe because you can't be with Jason, because you can't stand the fact that I could actually find some happiness. You know what, Elizabeth? You would actually be punishing Lucky, too, all because I was so desperate to hold on to Jason because I was out of my mind with jealousy that you had given him the one thing I couldn't. I had a lapse.
Elizabeth: A "lapse"?
Sam: Yes, a lapse. I did a terrible thing, I was at bottom. I actually have a chance with a decent guy right now, so I am asking you, I am begging you to let this go. Let Lucky get on with his life so he -- so he can actually have somebody that treats him decent.
Elizabeth: Oh, you mean lie to him? Because that's what you've been doing all along.
Sam: Ok, that's fair enough. I know this all started out as a way to get back at you and Jason, but something happened, something changed between Lucky and I, something I cannot explain but -
Elizabeth: You were able to keep him from seeing what you really are. Do you really believe that I could ever trust you again with my children after what you did?
Jan 30, 2008 06:27
Sam: It must be nice knowing that whatever you say, people will just accept it. No one will ever wonder if there's more to the story.
Elizabeth: If you're suggesting that this is in some way my fault -
Sam: No, you're just going along, living your life and terrible people inflict themselves on you -- Ric, Lucky, me. And you suffer and you suffer beautifully but ultimately, in the end, you emerge untarnished. Yeah, the town saint.
Elizabeth: I am raising two kids by myself, Sam. And when I am not working my days consist of doing laundry, changing diapers, and cleaning up puke -- not to mention the fact that Cameron's best friend taught him it was really cool to play with matches and he almost burned down the house with Jake in it. You think I planned all this to retain my title as town saint? Guess again.
Sam: Elizabeth, what are you going to do?
Elizabeth: I'm going to stay here until my leg heals and then I'm going to go home to my saintly duties.
Sam: Come on, you know what I mean.
Elizabeth: What am I going to do about you?
Elizabeth: As far as I'm concerned, nothing has changed.
Leyla: You were really good with that patient, Kendra.
Ian: You could try not to sound so surprised.
Leyla: Well, why plastic surgery?
Ian: To get chicks. Hey, it worked.
Leyla: Huh.
Kelly: She's in over her head with Dr. Devil boy.
Regina: Do you think this is going to be a search and rescue?
Nadine: Oh, come on, have a little faith. Leyla is a beautiful and intelligent woman.
Kelly: Yeah, like a bright, shiny tropical fish in a piranha tank.
[Laughter]
Lainey: Yeah.
Ian: I know you only agreed to go out with me to get under Patrick's skin.
Leyla: I'm sorry.
Ian: Don't be. Couldn't be happier to oblige.
Logan: Hey -- this all right? We can go someplace else if you want -
Lulu: No, no, it's not that. Um -- I was just wondering what it must be like for you to know that someone you knew, someone you were once friends with, turned out to be the killer.
Spinelli: Why -- why -- why did you insist on coming here to wise Georgie's room?
Maxie: You know, Georgie didn't even want to play field hockey. She went out for the team as a cover so that she could see Dillon. She ended up making varsity. The debate team -- now, that was Georgie's thing. I got to see her in action -- once. I don't even remember what they were debating about but I remember the look on the kid's face when Georgie was done with him. He was stammering his words and bobbing his head like a cartoon, so I started calling her "Senator Jones." I only went because Mac made me and I was grounded. "You're going to show your sister some support," he said, and I didn't do enough of that.
Spinelli: It is most unsettling being here among her things.
Maxie: I want you to be upset. I want you to be mad as hell, Spinelli. I want your guts to be churning. I want you to look around and see who your wise Georgie really was. She was a -- a girl who took care of everyone, she remembered things that everyone else forgot. You couldn't see that -- because you were too busy looking at her as your faithful friend like she was some cocker spaniel. And she loved you, Spinelli -- I have no idea why.
Spinelli: Neither do I! And -- in -- in the private unsent emails that Georgie was meaning to send to me, she professed -- she professed a love that existed in some parallel universe for someone much more worthy -- someone I could only hope to be.
Maxie: Well, here's your chance to start! You are so smart, so smart that Jason puts up with your geeky weirdness. You have to help me. You have to help me find out who took Georgie away from us and everything she could've been.
Spinelli: Ok. Ok, ok. Ok, so -- "Leticia, Carly, attempt -- Emily, Maxie -- attempt," um, uh -- "Georgie and Alexis -- attempt." Ok, so -- ok, so now we just have to find some -- a pattern, like some commonality, ok, so -- ok.
Maxie: They're all -- all women.
Spinelli: Right -- great, ok. Well, ok, then -- then the method, that -- that was the same, so -- strangulation. What -- what do you remember?
Maxie: Just that it happened really fast and he definitely wanted me dead.
Spinelli: Uh -- ok, so it's someone that was, I guess, comfortable with killing and had some skill at it.
Maxie: You write like a chicken. I'm going to redo this.
[Maxie writes]
Spinelli: You write like a girl, so give this -
Maxie: Ugh.
Spinelli: What -- look. Maybe you should go to General Hospital. You know, you seem a little overwrought. Do you want to talk to somebody?
Maxie: Of course I'm overwrought! This person killed my sister! I don't want to -- I don't want to talk anymore. I don't want to talk to you, I don't want to talk to anyone, ok? So either write like a human being and help me out or get out of my face.
Spinelli: Maxie, please just calm down, ok, all right? I'm -- The Jackal is here, willing to help. Ok? Um -- hey, look, after you were attacked, wise Georgie urged me to hack into Coop's military records -- remember?
Maxie: Yeah, and you found out some woman was strangled near where he was stationed in Iraq. I know all of that.
Spinelli: Right, right, but the crabby commando was also stationed there.
Maxie: Logan?
Logan: You serve shoulder to shoulder with guys that wake up every morning ready to lay down their lives for their countries. The idea that one of them could do something like this -- Coop and I served together but we weren't friends. I guess I really didn't know him.
Lulu: Do we ever really know anyone?
[Footsteps]
Alexis: You scared me to death!
Jerry: Oh, come on, it's better than being strangled to death.
Alexis: Oh, god.
Jerry: You should be a little more careful -- any psychopath could get in here.
Alexis: No kidding. Look, the police are certain they've found our killer, ok?
Jerry: Are you?
Alexis: What is your continuing interest in this case?
Jerry: My interest, darling, is in you.
Alexis: I told you -
Jerry: Yes, you told me to keep a respectful distance so I would not tarnish your image -- fine.
Alexis: I told you that I don't need a guardian angel.
Jerry: Well, you see, I lack the required qualifications in that, darling.
Alexis: I told you that now that I'm D.A., I can no longer represent you.
Jerry: Oh. You make it sound that it might be more than temporary. It feels good getting back in the saddle, doesn't it?
Alexis: Huh. I'm doing Ric a favor.
Jerry: Of course, yes. But somehow, I get the impression that you think that you might not be coming back at all.
Alexis: I know what this is about. I know why you're here.
Spinelli: I -- I can't make the pattern fit -- I mean, at least not yet anyhow.
Maxie: Well, you should add Coop to the list. You've already made up your mind that Coop did it just like the rest of them.
Spinelli: No, no, that's not true. I -- I swear on what is most precious to me, ok? I -- I'm willing to accept that Cadet Coop is not the evildoer.
Spinelli: Reasons I cannot divulge.
Maxie: Because you're scared of me?
Spinelli: Fear plays a prominent factor, but I -- I also -- I also feel that you -- you can't accept the fact that maybe someone that you -- that you trusted, perhaps even loved -
Maxie: I know that you think I'm incapable, but I did love Coop -- a lot.
Spinelli: Well, what if he turns out to be someone you didn't know?
Maxie: I want you to understand this so I'm going to tell you how I met Coop, and if you ever tell anyone --
Spinelli: Oh, it will go with me to my grave.
Maxie: During the Metro Court hostage crisis, I was locked in a vault with one of the gunmen -- three. That was Coop. He only took the job so that he could make some quick money and afterwards, he tried really hard to rebuild his life but he was always looking over his shoulder.
Spinelli: Because his identity, his real identity was known to the warped one -- Mr. Craig, also known as Jerry Jacks.
Alexis: This is about the piers. You know that Skye owns them, you want them, and I stupidly told you too much before so I should've known that you had ulterior motives.
Jerry: Oh -- what are you afraid of, darling?
Marty: I'm sorry, Mrs. Spencer.
Tracy: That one, too?
Marty: They've all been rejected.
Tracy: That's not possible.
Marty: You could pay for this evening with cash while you sort this out.
Tracy: Cash? Who carries cash?
Marty: People with no credit?
Tracy: I'd like to speak to Mr. Jacks, please.
Marty: He's out of town.
Tracy: Fine. Then get me Carly. Never mind -- just put it on the Quatermaine account.
Marty: Ahem. It says here that you've been taken off the Quatermaine account. And there's a notation.
Tracy: And what does the notation say?
Marty: That your assets have been frozen.
Logan: You looking for something?
Johnny: Do yourself a favor -- keep your mouth shut. I just came in here to get something to eat but I would love the excuse to hear some bones crack. If you can't make things work out with her, it's not going to be because of me.
Regina: I hope she doesn't fall for that "face of a Botticelli, body of a Greek goddess" line he used on every woman at the hospital.
Kelly: Oh. It worked on every woman at that hospital, right?
Nadine: Somehow, it just didn't seem like a pickup line.
Lainey: Or maybe we just didn't care.
Nadine: Oh, god.
Kelly: You know, here's to Leyla who's giving it back to Patrick D4rake for every woman at General Hospital.
Nadine: Hmm. Cheers.
Kelly: Cheers.
Lainey: Cheers.
Ian: You have skin like alabaster and the eyes of a Botticelli.
Leyla: And you have the face of a "wanted" poster and the mind of a wedding crasher.
Patrick: So, what do you think of the new staff member, Dr. Devlin?
Epiphany: Another pretty-boy surgeon if you ask me. I don't think about him one way or another -- but you do. You're thinking that you've got yourself some serious competition.
Robin: I just got the autopsy results back on Mrs. Quinn -- there was no trace of the anemia drugs in her system.
Patrick: Because she wasn't taking them.
Robin: She was taking them.
Patrick: Then her body didn't respond and she's got an abnormal absorption rate.
Robin: Ok, you're not hearing me right now.
Patrick: Robin, I am hearing you -- how can I not hear you? You're obsessing about this just like you're obsessing about having a baby.
Patrick: You've completely lost your perspective and it's starting to affect your work, your judgment as a physician.
Robin: I have legitimate concerns about Mrs. Quinn.
Patrick: Concerns like you had with the pregnant woman with H.I.V.?
Robin: That was different.
Patrick: Robin, it's not different -- it's all the same. This obsession about having a baby has worn a groove in your brain and everything's starting to fall into it, so why don't you just go to the sperm bank, find a father, do whatever you're going to do -- just get it over with.
Robin: I don't have to do that because I'm already pregnant.
Leyla: I know the other nurses were quite charmed by your false flattery.
Ian: Hmm, not false.
Leyla: Painfully predictable. It's like I'm staring at Patrick's clone. Did you two have some kind of a score sheet in med school, keeping track of conquests? A rating system -- yeah. Well, you seem like a very competent surgeon, Dr. Devlin, and I look forward to working with you but other than that, I'm afraid you'd be wasting your time. I'm really not the type of girl you'd be interested in.
[Women laugh]
Kelly: Way to go.
Lulu: I'll wait outside.
Logan: All right, I'll be right back.
Lulu: You're still here.
Johnny: I'm waiting for a car to come pick me up.
Lulu: How are you doing?
Johnny: Don't worry about me.
Lulu: Huh. Don't tell me what to do.
Spinelli: The killer may have just snapped not even intending to kill the first victim and -- and then some terrible beast inside was unleashed.
[Blender shatters]
Maxie: But at some point, it became a game with the text messages. This killer obviously enjoys taunting his victims.
Jerry: Do you really believe the only reason I'm here is because of a pier? You don't believe I could really be attracted to you?
Sam: Oh -- I, um -- I didn't realize -
Jerry: Ah, it's -- it's all right. I was -- I just was accompanying your mother from the press conference. I -- I was leaving. Be careful.
Alexis: Are you all right?
Sam: I don't know.
Lucky: I overheard your conversation with Sam -- not all of it, but enough. I want the truth. What else is Sam keeping from me?
Lucky: What did Sam do that's got you so worried? Jason: You asked Kate to marry you, she said no, and you disappeared. Sonny: How do you know that? Carly: Do you remember the good news that I wanted you to come home to? Jax: You're pregnant?

Patrick: No, it's all part of the same thing, Robin. This obsession with you having a baby has worn a groove in your brain and everything's starting to fall into it. So you know what? Go to the sperm bank, find a father -- do whatever you're going to do, just get it over with!
Patrick: You're joking.
Robin: Do you think I would joke about something like this?
Jax: Aloha! Carly? Hello?
Carly: Jax, you're home! Oh! I missed you so much.
Jax: Where are the boys?
Carly: They're next door with the Hagans and they're going to be gone for hours.
Jax: Oh, look what I got for you.
Carly: Oh, my gosh, it's so beautiful. Thank you. Ok, ok --
Jax: What?
Carly: Do you remember -- um -- what we talked about before you left, and the good news that I wanted you to come home to?
Jax: About being pregnant?
Carly: Yeah, about that.
Alexis: Ah. What's wrong?
[Sam chuckles]
Sam: Well, that's just it -- inexplicably and without warning, something has actually gone right.
Alexis: So you're celebrating? Should we celebrate? It doesn't feel like a celebration.
Sam: I think I'm falling in love with Lucky, and I think he feels the same way, too.
Alexis: Ok.
Sam: Ok, I mean, ever after knowing all of the stupid things that I've done and all of the lies I've -- he still wants to be with me.
Alexis: So what's the problem?
Sam: Yeah, the problem. Um -- I'm afraid to trust that.
Alexis: I think that you can trust that -- as long as you have, in fact, told him all the lies.
Lucky: I overheard you talking with Sam. Not all of it, but enough. I want the truth. What else is Sam keeping from me?
Elizabeth: I don't know what you think you heard --
Lucky: You don't trust Sam with the kids.
Elizabeth: Well, I'd feel that way about anyone you were dating.
Lucky: Because she did something, Elizabeth, something she obviously didn't intend on telling me.
Elizabeth: You need to ask Sam.
Lucky: I'm asking you.
Jason: And what about Alcazar's shipping docks on the waterfront?
Max: Well, no activity, which means Skye hasn't dealt them to anyone yet.
Jason: That we know of.
Sonny: Jason -- get out of here.
Max: See you later.
Jason: Where -- where the hell have you been?
Sonny: I just want to know why the guy who tried to kill me is still alive.
Jax: You're pregnant?
Carly: No, not yet --
Jax: Oh.
Carly: But we know I can get pregnant. So while you were gone, I've been doing tons of research about other women who have my same complications, are in my same situation, and I've been having tons of meetings with Dr. Kelly about all my options.
Jax: Yeah, I -- I know. We -- we talked about fertility treatments, remember, and -- and what's involved, and the kind of strain that it can put on a relationship.
Carly: If I were to let nature take its course, I'd still be sitting in a trailer park, waiting for my prince to come to me instead of being married to one. Nothing in life has come easy for me, Jax, and you know that.
Jax: I know -- I know that.
Carly: I know, so I'm not going to get discouraged if we have to do a little work, you know?
Jax: Yeah, work at it a little -- that's fine.
Carly: Wait -- no, no, not work. Not work, no -- we are going to make this fun, ok? We are going to go into this with a positive attitude. We're not going to let it become work, we're not going to let it wreak havoc on our relationship, it's all going to be great.
Jax: You've obviously given this a lot of thought.
Carly: Oh -- I've been making a chart, ok, a chart. I've been taking my temperature quite a few times a day, and my temperature peaked this afternoon, which means I am ovulating!
Jax: Then my timing couldn't be better!
Carly: Your timing is perfect! Oh, wait, also -- I bought you a welcome-home present.
Jax: Oh, wow. Well, you know what? I'll just chill some champagne and fire up the hot tub.
Carly: No alcohol no hot water. That hot water can wreak havoc on your sperm count.
Jax: Maybe after?
Carly: After, I have to lie in the bed with my legs up in the air for a half an hour. But you know what? It's going to be great.
Jax: Yeah, sounds romantic.
Lucky: Sam has been keeping something from me, something she intended on keeping.
Elizabeth: And this is between you and Sam.
Lucky: You and I are supposed to be working together as Jake's parents. I'm pretending to be that little boy's father to protect him from Jason's enemies, but it doesn't end there if you believe that Sam could be a danger to them!
Elizabeth: Oh, I was angry when I said those words --
Lucky: So you didn't mean it? Sam can watch the boys and you're fine with it?
Elizabeth: I never liked Sam, I never trusted her. She used you as a way to get back at me and Jason.
Lucky: I let her, but things change.
Elizabeth: A person doesn't change. Come on, did you think that you would ever really be able to trust her?
Lucky: Are you ever really going to trust me?
Elizabeth: What?
Lucky: Well, if a person doesn't change, I'll always be a lying pill popper in your eyes.
Elizabeth: This is different --
Lucky: No, how is it different? What did Sam do that's got you so worried, so sure that it's going to send me over the edge, diving back into a bottle of pills?
Elizabeth: I don't --
Lucky: Stop protecting me! Just tell me the truth.
Sam: We are both drawn to dangerous and very unstable men.
Alexis: I'm so sorry.
Sam: Whether it's an impulse to protect them, or whether we're trying desperately to blow up our own lives, I just -- yeah, we have issues.
Alexis: Really? You think? Issues?
Sam: Yeah, I think, because when I walked in here, it looked like Jerry Jacks was trying to make out with you.
Alexis: All right, that's not what -- no.
Sam: And this is a guy who shot Robin Scorpio, blew up the metro court, and -- whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute. Before that, there was Ric, and then before that, there was -- ugh --
Alexis: Sonny.
Sam: Sonny, yes.
Alexis: All right.
Sam: Yes, and -- and I think that -- hello -- talk about being like your mother?
Alexis: All right, that's it, go to your room.
Sam: I'm just -- come on, I am just saying when -- when I was with Jason, it was always sort of a matter of survival. You know, we were always in this constant state of, like, red alert. But Lucky -- Lucky -- you know, there's absolutely -- there's nothing going on in -- in the background. And when he's with me, he's with me, and I can tell that he's thinking and -- and feeling me. And -- I -- I guess I just -- I want to be more real with him, and that is so strange and --
Alexis: Sad?
Sam: Uh -- no.
Alexis: Stressful?
Sam: Uh-uh.
Alexis: Scary?
Sam: Scary -- yes, scary.
Alexis: Because you're being honest, it is scary, but do it. Tell him. Whatever -- whatever it is, just tell him. It's better that it comes from you.
Sam: I don't know about that because I really think my lies have hurt him enough already.
Alexis: Then the truth will be a refreshing change.
Sam: Well --
Sam: Hmm -- I'll get it.
Sam: It's Kate. Hello.
Kate: Oh, hi. I was actually looking for your mother.
Alexis: I'm here, Kate. How are you?
Kate: Perhaps I should come back another time.
Sam: No, no, no, no, don't. I was -- I was just leaving. Um -- I'm going to leave. I got some really good advice. I'm going to take it before I chicken out, ok?
Alexis: All right, good luck.
Sam: Here.
Kate: Thank you.
Sam: You might need that.
Kate: Good luck.
Sam: Thanks.
Alexis: Well, welcome. Come on in. What's going on with you?
Kate: Sonny.
Jason: Johnny stayed behind and he blew up the ship, Sonny. It was a Zacchara ship. He sent it to the bottom of the harbor, along with the cargo.
Sonny: Which proves what I've been saying all long- the guy's -- he's out of control!
Jason: He's out of Trevor's control, or at least he's trying to be right now.
Sonny: Come on, Jason, let's talk -- let's talk here.
Jason: They tried to force Johnny into going along with the shipment by kidnapping Lulu! This guy, Moreau, may have made the order, but -- but Trevor is going along with it the whole time. Trevor wants Johnny in line, he wants Moreau as a partner so he's strong enough to come after us.
Sonny: So Johnny's a hero now?
Jason: No, that's not what --
Sonny: You've been making excuses for this guy for months, giving him a free pass, after he threatened me in my face, tried to have me killed --
Jason: If I thought Johnny was behind that, don't you think --
Sonny: I don't want you to think, just -- I pay you to do what I tell you to do! We've had this argument how many times already?
Jason: Yeah, you pay me to keep you informed when you're away of what's going on, and that's l I'm trying to do right now.
Sonny: The Zaccharas are -- are making alliances, right, to gear up for a war? Did I get that right?
Jason: Yes, correct --
Sonny: If you want to kill the beast, you got to cut off its head! Johnny is head of the Zacchara family right now, he's going to end up just like his father, so I'm going to do him a favor. I'm going to stop him.
Jason: You should probably --
Sonny: Hey! I'm not done!
Jason: You should be worrying about your own son right now.
Patrick: You're pregnant?
Robin: Sorry, I didn't mean to blurt it out like that.
Patrick: No. Well, congratulations.
Robin: Thank you.
Patrick: I mean, I know how much you wanted this, so it's --
Robin: Yeah -- about as much as you didn't.
Patrick: A baby -- wow.
Robin: Yeah. You know, after all the arguing and worrying about it and wondering, it's -- it's finally real.
Patrick: Why didn't you tell me?
Robin: I wanted to tell you that I was pregnant. I imagined that conversation -- how you would react, of course.
Patrick: I know why you didn't -- it's obvious with the way I just went off on you. Why would you invite the commentary of a guy who can't deal with kids, let alone the thought of having his own? I know how much this means to you. Everything's -- well, everything's different now. You got the life you wanted, the life you dreamed of, so I want you to know how -- I'm happy for you. So --
Kelly: You told Patrick?
Ian: Tell him what?
Patrick: Uh -- Robin's pregnant.
[Epiphany chuckles]
Epiphany: Well, Dr. Scorpio. Congratulations.
Cassius: My man, Dr. Drake -- finally out of circulation, I see.
Patrick: What?
Cassius: I -- I mean, now that you're a dad?
Kate: I'm at an impasse with Sonny, and I could really use some advice and I don't know who else to turn to and -- well, you do have a kid with him.
Alexis: Doesn't make me an authority, just someone with chronically bad judgment in men. But I will give you the benefit of my experience, such as it is.
Kate: Sonny came to Manhattan. He proposed to me.
Alexis: Busy here today.
Diane: Madam D.A., I am here representing Ronald Paulson, and you don't stand a chance in hell.
Diane and Alexis: Hi!
Diane: How about a drink? Kate? Well, you're supposed to be in Manhattan. Is this a short visit?
Kate: Uh -- it's a long story.
Alexis: Involves Sonny.
Diane: Oh, now I definitely need a drink.
Alexis: He proposed.
Diane: Make it a double.
Jason: You left a loaded gun in your desk.
Jason: And the drawer was unlocked and it was -- it was dumb luck that I walked in and I caught Michael with it.
Sonny: What'd he say?
Jason: He -- he said that he wanted to protect his mother and his brother from the guy who killed Leticia and Emily -- the way you and I protect people.
[Sonny groans]
Sonny: Did you tell him that it's not for him to worry about?
Jason: Michael is too old now for simple answers, Sonny. He's got kids at school saying that you should be arrested or worse. You know what's going to happen? They're going to be afraid of Michael, or they're going to start challenging him. Either way, he needs to be prepared.
Sonny: I want to prepare him for something different, something better, not -- not -- you know.
Jason: That's what I told him.
Sonny: What do you think that this life was -- that I gave him was about? I don't want him to get his education from some thug in an alley like I did.
Jason: You can't shield him from this life anymore, Sonny. You knew this day would come.
Sonny: And you think it's not going to come for you because you walked away from your kid?
Lucky: "Lucky might break, Lucky is one piece of bad news away from trying to drown himself in a bottle of pain pills" -- that was your excuse for lying to me every day, letting me believe that Jake was my son.
Elizabeth: I was worried about you -- with good reason.
Lucky: Stop hiding behind that! Stop treating me like I'm damaged goods!
Elizabeth: That's not what I'm doing.
Lucky: Emily was strangled to death by somebody that I worked with, my brother has an inoperable brain tumor, my father could be lying dead in a ditch somewhere -- all the great excuses for relapse, Elizabeth, but I haven't! I just want to know why you're holding back. Why won't you tell me the truth?
Elizabeth: Because you're happy. And as much as I can't stand Sam -- what she did was in the past, maybe you should leave it there.
Kate: So Sonny is down on one knee, and he's looking up at me and he has his heart in his hands. And I'm looking down into those eyes --
Diane: Yes, those deep, soulful eyes in which many a woman has been lost, never to be seen again.
Alexis: All right, what did you say?
Kate: I ran.
Diane: Yes! You did not succumb. Well, of course you didn't -- you're Kate Howard.
Kate: I hurt him terribly.
Diane: Even -- just forgive me for even having doubts.
Kate: Well, I have doubts. But I want to be with him, and that is why I'm here.
Diane: For an intervention?
Alexis: For advice, Diane.
Kate: Ladies, I love him. And I don't know if there's a way to salvage things, but --
Diane: You ran. You need to listen to that first instinct.
Alexis: Why did you run?
Kate: Sonny's not in love with me, he's in love with an idea of someone that -- he wants me to be, somebody I'm not anymore.
Alexis: Is that such a bad thing, really, that he brought out this other side of you, this -- this side that you lost during your climb to the top? Boy, I can remember what I was like before I used my career to compensate for potential pain.
Diane: Ok, all right, that woman that you used to be -- that's a woman that I wouldn't have any interest associating with. The things that we have accomplished, the fact that we have had to work twice as hard as any man to achieve them -- that's what makes us who we are. And the notion of just throwing that all away for a man, becoming domesticated? Oh --
Alexis: I was thinking more of a middle ground.
Diane: Oh, ok. So, then, what does Sonny have to give up?
Kate: Oh, no, he claims he's the same person he's always been.
Diane: Right -- and that's my point exactly. If you go through with this madness, you have to do it solely on your terms. Because no matter what Sonny says, Kate, the woman who had to overcome every obstacle to sit on top of the fashion world -- that is the woman that Sonny wants, that's what attracts him. Not some hausfrau in sweatpants.
Kate: Finger painting.
Diane: What?
Kate: Michael and Morgan we over at my house and I -- I had nothing to occupy them with, and I turned to finger painting out of desperation and it was the most fun I've had in years.
Alexis: Good, good. Fun is good, fun is a good thing. Sonny's kids are so important to him -- that's a good place to start.
Kate: All right. Thank you, ladies --
Kate: Both of you.
Alexis: It's the least we could do --
Diane: After how generous you've been. Oh.
Kate: Oh, my, I completely forgot -- woman litigator of the year.
Diane: Yes, well -- well, you know how meaningless those awards are.
Alexis: It was really -- it was so political.
Diane: Right. Yeah.
Kate: Oh, I see. All right. Well, I'm sure that you both made quite an impression in your Neela Llorente originals.
Diane: Yes, well -- uh -- about the dresses --
Kate: You did wear them?
Alexis: Yes, yes -- after our car ran out of gas and we slogged through the wilds of New Jersey.
Diane: And we had to escape from a bar full of tailgate people.
Alexis: But we wore the dresses, we did.
Jax: Wow.
Carly: Oh!
Jax: Ooh --
Carly: What? You say it's your favorite. It'll settle, it'll settle. Is that better?
Jax: Um --
Carly: You say it drives you crazy with desire.
Jax: No, you just -- here, you have a little mascara mishap right there.
Carly: Oh.
Jax: There we go.
Carly: Is it better?
Jax: Yes, all better. Come on, let's go upstairs.
Carly: What, upstairs? Come on.
Carly: Who needs a bed?
Jax: Oh -- hey --
Carly: Hi.
Jax: Hi. You know, I can't do this.
Patrick: No, I'm -- I'm not the father.
Robin: No. No, I --
Cassius: My bad. I -- I thought because of the way you guys were hugging that --
Patrick: No, no, we were just -- I was -- I was congratulating her.
Robin: Yeah, and everybody knows at the hospital that Patrick and I are no longer together, and that I had a list of donors because I really wanted to get pregnant -- some of those people actually worked at this hospital -- but, you know, I was turned down, and I eventually went to a sperm bank.
Ian: Frankly, I'm appalled.
Epiphany: That is completely unprofessional. This is a hospital, people!
Ian: I mean, that not one man on staff took Dr. Scorpio up on her offer?
Patrick: Would you want your kid running around here?
Ian: Ah -- the look of sheer terror that flashed across your face.
Patrick: Well, it's still a sore subject with Robin and I -- we broke up because of this whole baby thing. So -- anyways, how was your -- how was your dinner with Nurse Mir?
Ian: Ahem. Intriguing.
Kelly: You didn't end up getting a donor from a sperm bank, you had sex with some guy and the --
Robin: I -- I know. I didn't want to announce that to the entire staff. Plus, I don't really want Patrick to know, ever.
Kelly: Why not?
Robin: Because he's going to try and find out who the guy is and --
Kelly: Fine.
Sam: Hi, Lucky. Um -- it's me. I -- um -- I guess I -- I just wanted to hear your voice -- I don't know -- maybe -- maybe just to talk. Anyway, I hope you're having a good day, and, um, I wanted to let you know that when you get home, I have a little surprise for you.
Lucky: You think I should pretend I never heard you and Sam arguing, let things go on the way they are?
Elizabeth: For now.
Lucky: Go on living another lie? I appreciate that you want to make up for the past, but this isn't the way. I think we both learned that it can only make things worse the longer the lie goes on.
Elizabeth: It happened before things had changed between you and Sam, when she was still desperate to hang on to Jason. She knew I had given him the child she couldn't, and it was killing her inside. The day in the park, when Jake was kidnapped --
Lucky: What did Sam do?
Elizabeth: Nothing.
Lucky: What did she do?
Elizabeth: After Sam and I spoke, she didn't leave the park right away. She was there when it happened. In fact, she watched a mentally unstable woman reach into the stroller and take Jake. She saw me turn around from tying Cameron's shoe and find Jake gone. She heard me screaming, she saw me coming apart at the seams, and yet she just stood there and watched -- and did nothing.
Lucky: Thank you.
Elizabeth: Wait -- you might as well know --
Lucky: There's more?
Elizabeth: You know those gunmen in the park that threatened me and the boys -- the ones claiming to be Jason's enemies?
Lucky: Yeah, the ones Sam chased off.
Elizabeth: Well, it was no accident that Sam showed up when she did. She hired them, Lucky -- to drive home how dangerous it would be for Jake to be a part of Jason's life. She did not want Jason claiming his son. Lucky -- Lucky, what are you going to do?
Jason: Nothing to do with my decision to give up Jake.
Sonny: Why do you say that? I can hear it in your voice -- you're judging me.
Jason: This is not judgment, it's worry -- for Michael, Sonny, who I think of like a son, and for you. I mean, maybe you just need to step back and deal with this personal stuff and take a little break.
Sonny: I'm fine.
Jason: You're fine? You ask Kate to marry you, she said no, and you disappeared.
Sonny: How do you know that?
Jason: Kate came looking for you -- and, of course, Carly was here when she got here.
Sonny: Ah! Well, I guess she's headed back to Manhattan, right?
Kate: I haven't gone anywhere.
