Lucky: How did you get out of Shadybrook?
Lulu: I broke out. I had to, it's Mom. I'm sorry, I obviously interrupted something important, but I just need to talk to my brother.
Sam: That's fine, it's fine.
Lucky: Listen, I need to sort this out with my sister.
Sam: Okay, okay, but this conversation is not over.
Lucky: Now, what was this about Mom?
Lulu: Okay, so Mom really was awake. I did not imagine it. She woke up again today, just a little while ago, and I'm not the only one who saw it this time.
Lucky: Oh, this doctor you said that saw it before.
Lulu: No, Scott Baldwin. I was in Mom's room. He came in. He started threatening me, vowing to see me get the death penalty for killing Logan --
Lucky: You mean Scott Baldwin is trying to blame you for killing --
Lulu: It's true, Lucky. Everything that I said on the witness stand -- it's true. The ax and the knife and everything.
Lucky: Listen, I'm going to call Lainey --
Lulu: No, Lucky, Lucky, I am not the one who needs help. Listen to me. Scott was saying he wanted to see me get the death penalty, he wanted to see me get a lethal injection, and Mom woke up. She grabbed him, and she told him to back the hell off of me.
Lucky: You're sure this is not what you --
Lulu: Stop acting like I'm imagining it. Just look at me, please. I know this is hard to believe. I -- honestly, I thought I was this crazy for a while, but it's a little farfetched. Just believe me. It's true.
Lucky: If Mom woke up, why didn't you tell somebody at the hospital? Why didn't you go get help?
Lulu: Because Scott took her. That's why I had to break out and come here to get your help. Look, if you call Shadybrook, they'll tell you she's gone. Please, Scott Baldwin took her. She's in trouble. She needs our help. You have to believe me.
Nadine: The first night I ever saw you was the night of the black and white ball. I walked into this amazing old place with candles and torches blazing, and there you were in your white coat and tails with Emily by your side. It was like something out of a fairy tale. And the thing I remembered most was the way you looked at her. It was just pure love.
Nikolas: Yeah. You knew what she meant to me. You also realized that I was still able to see her after she was gone and that I was ready to die rather than lose her again, so I could see how getting involved with me could scare you a little, yeah.
Nadine: And I'm not scared of measuring up, because I wouldn't even try.
Nikolas: No --
Nadine: And I don't want to make this more than it is, and I don't expect you to look at me the same way, but --
Nikolas: You don't know what's going to happen, okay? I don't either. But I do know that I never want to hurt you, but if getting involved with me means risking too much of your heart or if you're already afraid that things are going to end badly, then -- then we should probably stop this right now, don't you think?
Nadine: I don't --
Lulu: Scott Baldwin has Mom.
Laura: So you killed my stepfather, and then you ran out, and you left me, and that trauma caused me to lose my mind and to lose years of my life, years that I should have been raising my children. That's gone now. I can never, ever get that back. And yet, you know, I really can believe that your intentions were good and that somehow you were in a horrible situation and you got confused and you made some bad choices. And you were a grown man. Now, imagine a little girl in the same situation, completely overwhelmed. The Scottie that I knew would have compassion for that girl.
Scott: What about the son that I just found out that I had after all these years? Laura, I -- I lost you to a guy that had no respect for you or what you wanted. Now I'm just supposed to add Logan to the list, and that's it, finished?
Laura: So this is just about us then, isn't it? You are punishing my daughter because you're bitter. You're bitter that I chose Luke over you.
[Tracy pants]
[Luke laughs]
Luke: Oh, come on. Admit it. You're enjoying this.
Tracy: Do I look like I'm having fun?
Luke: You look like you're trying really hard not to admit it.
Tracy: You so overestimate the pleasure -- of your comp -- company.
Luke: Oh, come on. I get your blood moving. I make your life a hell of a lot more interesting. You'd rather be up here hurtling through space in a stolen plane with me, wondering how I'm going to land it than you would be down there, bickering with Edward over cocktails.
Tracy: Luke, my idea of roughing it is hailing a cab in Manhattan. I don't do bugs. I don't do snakes. I don't do mud.
Luke: You do mudpacks.
Tracy: Luke, I don't like your brand of adventure, okay? If I venture outside the lines, it's white-collar crime. My personal favorite is blackmail.
Luke: You can't even admit it now.
Tracy: Admit what?
Luke: That you're loving this. That, you know, you came searching for me, yeah, for Lulu, but also you came because you wanted me.
Tracy: So what?
Luke: At last, you admitted it. Oh.
[Tracy and Luke scream]
Tracy: No, no!
Patrick: Well, don't get me wrong. I want to marry Robin. It was my idea. It's just hard to go from hot shot bachelor surgeon to stuffing birdseed into bundles for decoration.
[Olivia laughs]
Olivia: They roped you into that?
Patrick: Gosh, I had this nightmare of me edging the lawn on a Friday night in plaid shorts.
Olivia: A little beer gut hanging over your waistband? Come on, buddy, it's the American dream.
Patrick: That's my version of hell.
Olivia: You want to breathe into a paper bag or something? You look a little bit pale.
Patrick: Bartender, please.
Olivia: Relax. Marriage does not have to be the end of life as you know it, at least not exactly. You got to stop chasing around after nurses, but you know --
Patrick: I didn't realize you were married.
Olivia: Oh, I'm not.
Patrick: It just sounded like someone with a voice of experience.
Olivia: Yeah, I got experience watching other people go through their trials and tribulations, but marriage for me is not going to happen.
Patrick: Really? Why not?
Olivia: Just never met the right guy, and I think that ship has sailed.
Patrick: Is it because it didn't work out with your kid's father?
Olivia: What do you know about my kid's father?
Patrick: I just -- I've heard you mention your -- your son but never the father, and now that you say you're not married, I just -- I apologize. I -- I didn't mean to cross a line.
Olivia: No, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have jumped down your throat like that. I -- I don't actually know who the father is. A lifetime of making excuses to nosy neighbors and my very, very Catholic-Italian family. It's been a sore subject.
Patrick: I don't mean to -- to bug you here, but --
Olivia: What? You're going to ask anyway.
Patrick: Did you ever try and narrow it down? I mean, did you ever think that maybe the father would want to know?
Olivia: Would you?
Patrick: Yeah. It happened to me, not really in the same context, but when Robin got pregnant, she didn't tell me right away. She figured it would be my worst nightmare, and I gave her many reasons to think so. You know, the idea of being a father scared the hell out of me, wasn't part of my plan. But I got to be honest. It's been the best thing that's ever happened to me.
Olivia: Would you be getting married if it wasn't for this baby?
Patrick: I'm getting married because I love Robin, and you know, that's much more important than my panic over stuffing birdseed bundles and the day of the wedding, but, you know, marriage is a lifetime, and I plan on spending the rest of my life with her.
Mac: Hey.
Robin and Maxie: Hi.
Mac: What's all this?
Spinelli: Tiny projectiles to pelt the happy newlyweds.
Mac: Right.
Spinelli: Actually, something a little more palatable for our woodland friends. It's an oddly hostile custom to celebrate one's nuptials, come to think of it.
Mac: I think it's a metaphorical heads-up for what married life has in store.
Maxie: Bye.
Mac: Bye.
Maxie: All right, we have to put these in the car, and then we're going to drop them off at the church the morning of the wedding.
Robin: Thank you.
Maxie and Mac: Bye.
Robin: Hi.
Mac: Okay, so, what can I do to help?
Robin: All you have to do is show up and walk me down the aisle.
Mac: I wish it could be your dad.
Robin: You know, I do admit I had a fantasy of walking down the aisle and having you on one side and my dad on the other, but you know, his cancer treatments are going really well, and his health is the most important thing to me. Besides, he'll be with us in spirit.
Robin: And I do think that it's kind of fitting that you are going to be the one that walks me down the aisle, considering that you were the one that was with me almost the whole time I was growing up. I'm glad that you're going to be the one that gives me away.
Mac: Well, you know what? I'll be happy to walk you down the aisle and give you my blessing, but I will never give you away.
Robin: Oh.
Nikolas: I'll walk you to the launch.
Nadine: No, I'll be fine. Your family needs you. Bye.
Nikolas: I'm sorry.
Nadine: Don't apologize. Just let me know if you need help, okay?
Nadine: All right.
Nikolas: Hey, hey.
Nikolas: Hey, come here. I'll call you, okay?
Nadine: Okay.
Nikolas: I'll call, okay. Sorry. What's up?
Lulu: Okay, I'll give you the short version. You just have to go with me on this. Mom really was awake before. It was not in my head, and I went to go see her again today, and Scott Baldwin came in. He was saying the most awful things.
Lucky: Yeah, he threatened to prosecute her for killing Logan.
Nikolas: I'm sorry, Lucky. I found out on my own. I should have told you --
Lucky: No, no, no, it's not important right now.
Lulu: Mom woke up again, okay? And she agreed to go with Scott Baldwin somewhere as long as he wouldn't press charges against me.
Lucky: I checked with Shadybrook. Mom's gone.
Nikolas: Well, where did he take her?
Lulu: I don't know. It took me so long to break out and get to you guys, they could be anywhere by now.
Scott: Yeah, I was angry at you, and I was bitter, but I got past that. I met a girl. I fell in love. I had a kid -- but then she died. After I buried her, I was able to put things in perspective. I saw that you were -- you were young, and you know, you fell for Luke's one-man show and all of his adventures and how much you've had to pay for it and how he's hurt you -- in ways that you don't even know about.
Laura: What is that supposed to mean?
Scott: I don't -- I don't want to talk about Luke right now. You know, I don't want to talk about any of the bad things that he did to you. We're -- we've got to -- move forward here, Laura, and you know, you got to be happy, and less talk about stuff, because you know, for you to move on here, have some fun --
[Laura chuckles]
Scott: It's important.
Laura: Scott, it's -- it's just not going to work.
Scott: Well, how do you know? Besides, you know, you made a deal with me.
Laura: You haven't even told me where you're taking me yet.
Scott: What do you think?
Laura: Oh, my God. Are we over L.A.?
Scott: Perfect spot. It's where we had our honeymoon. Where better to recapture our past?
Luke: We have a slight problem.
Tracy: What was your first clue?
Luke: The plane is full of drugs, but there are no parachutes.
Tracy: Well, you better land it fast, because we're out of gas.
Luke: Oh, yeah, so we are. All right, well, I'm just going to glide it. Take a look out there, and tell me what you see on your side.
Tracy: Nothing.
Luke: Oh, okay, well, let's just hope we're over land and that there's nothing tall in the way, because here we -- here we go.

Mac: I want cops at every intersection within four blocks of Queen of Angels, all right? Keep traffic moving. I want no-parking zones within a two-block radius. Tow first, write tickets later. 18:00 hours. I want everything in place immediately. My niece will not be stuck in traffic on the way to her wedding.
Robin: There's never any traffic at Queen of Angels at 6:00 in the evening.
Mac: I am not taking any chances.
Robin: I think you should help me put some stamps on these envelopes. It will make you feel better.
[Helicopter whirring]
Mac: Robin, I have a lot of calls to make.
Robin: Uncle Mac, today is my wedding day. And everything is going to be perfect, so I think you should enjoy it with me.
Anna: Hi.
Anna: Did I miss the wedding?
Maxie: Okay, once we've set all this stuff up, we really need to go in there and double check -- Spinelli, just -- wait, let me help you, okay? Sorry. I shouldn't have made you carry all this stuff when you don't have a spleen.
Spinelli: No, that's okay. The Jackal just became slightly off-balance. There's no need for concern.
Maxie: Good, because I really couldn't get through this wedding without you.
[Cat-call whistle]
Olivia: Talk about gorgeous.
Patrick: How do you like it?
Olivia: I think I'm in love.
Ric: So where were you? Why didn't you show up?
Claudia: What are you talking about? Where? Oh, my -- Jake's. I completely forgot. I'm sorry.
Ric: No, it's okay. I just waited up all night.
Claudia: Oh, no. You should have -- I should have called and let you I wasn't coming. I'm sorry.
Ric: So where were you?
Claudia: Busy.
Ric: Okay, fine, I'll bite. Doing what?
Claudia: Marrying Jason Morgan.
Jason: You need to know what happened last night.
Sonny: Andrei Karpov still breathing? You here to give me back the organization? Because if not, we're just going to waste time.
Jason: I almost married Claudia Zacchara to save you.
Olivia: This is really nice. How long you had it?
Patrick: It was my first major purchase after my residency.
Olivia: You mind?
Patrick: No, go ahead.
Olivia: Oh, nice. 340, V8, very old-school. You got a carbureted engine, much better than fuel-injection. I take it you've got no restrictor plate in there?
Patrick: I stay off the super speedways.
Olivia: Fairly good idea. What kind of horsepower you got?
Patrick: Depends how I'm running -- 500, 600.
Olivia: Oh, nice.
Patrick: You a mechanic?
Olivia: No, no. My dad and my brothers all were. If they got swamped, I'd help them out.
Patrick: Wow, I'm impressed.
Olivia: You ever race around here?
Patrick: Yeah, there's a track just outside of town.
Olivia: You ever run Watkins Glen?
Patrick: Before med school, yeah.
Olivia: That's a tough course.
Patrick: Yeah, it is.
Olivia: It's almost as bad as the Cross Bronx Expressway.
Patrick: You race?
Olivia: No, no. My brothers and I used to do go-karts when I was a little kid, but I always preferred fixing cars to actually driving them. Something very relaxing to me about opening up a hood, solving a problem.
Patrick: Especially if solving the problem is going to make it faster.
Olivia: Did you drive this thing over here?
Patrick: Well, it's not exactly street-legal, but I figured I'd get behind the wheel one more time before I get married and put it up for sale.
[Olivia scoffs]
Olivia: Keep talking like that, you're not going to stay married very long.
Anna: Oh, I'm so sorry. I should never have taken this assignment. You know, I mean, the office promised me it was only going to be 12 hours and, of course, that was days ago --
Robin: I understand.
Anna: And they never lifted the security blackout until today, so I couldn't tell you anything about it. But I managed to see your dad.
Anna: And he looks so much stronger. And he sends his love and he's so proud and yada yada.
Robin: Mom, Mom, take a breath.
Anna: Yes, I know.
Robin: Okay, everything's fine. I talked to Dad twice already today.
Anna: You did?
Robin: Yeah.
Anna: Yeah, he wants a blow-by-blow description of the ceremony, everything. Thank God I made it.
Robin: The ceremony isn't until tonight. We have hours, so just relax.
Anna: Okay, isn't there a lot to do though? Where's your dress? Can I see your dress? I want to see your dress.
Robin: It's at the church.
Anna: Oh, okay. What about your hair? I can't do your hair. You know, I'm horrible with hair, I mean, clearly.
[Robin laughs]
Robin: Elizabeth is doing my hair and Maxie is doing everything else, so all we have to do is just show up and have a good time.
Mac: I don't care about the mayor's golf tournament. I want uniforms in place.
Anna: I can't believe it. My little girl is getting married.
Robin: Mm, not so little at the moment.
Anna: Oh, you're gorgeous.
Mac: All right, I'll be there. Look, there's a problem with the security detail. Don't leave until I get back. Anna, great to see you.
Anna: Nice to see you.
Robin: Bye. Security detail?
Anna: What would we have ever done without Uncle Mac? He loves you so much. Maybe I should help him with security --
Robin: Mom.
Anna: At least it's something constructive.
Robin: Mom?
Anna: Yeah?
Robin: It's cool. Everything is cool.
Anna: At least one of us is calm, right?
[Robin and Anna laugh]
Robin: Marrying Patrick is the best decision I've ever made. I don't think I've ever been happier in my life.
Maxie: I really want these flowers to be perfect. Not that I'm a perfectionist, it's just this will probably be Robin's one and only wedding. What do you think?
Spinelli: Um --
Maxie: I liked them so much better the way before. I'm glad Robin got out of the way and let me handle planning the wedding, because she can be a real control freak. She's been incredibly calm, though, but before, she was driving me insane.
Spinelli: Uh, indeed.
Maxie: Okay, what else? I think I'm going to lose some of the ribbon. Maybe. Less is more. That's what Kate always says, and I do believe it's true. What are you looking at?
Spinelli: The Jackal was simply observing that one day, Maximista is going to make a most beautiful bride.
Maxie: Oh, Spinelli, that's so sweet of you to say, but I seriously doubt that I'll be getting married.
Ric: Why do you want to be in the middle of Sonny, Jason, and your father?
Claudia: I have some serious power now. It's actually kind of a rush.
Ric: Yeah, only because Anthony wants something from you.
Claudia: So? Power is power, Ric. Come on, you're the also-ran in your family, too. You should be able to identify with me.
Ric: Yeah, which is exactly why I know that you're buying in to Anthony's game.
Claudia: Ric, let's face it. I am Daddy's game. Are you really this angry at me because I forgot to call you?
Ric: Oh, come on.
Claudia: Because what would I have said anyway? "Sorry Ricky, I can't make it tonight because I have to go marry the man you hate more than anybody else in the world."
Ric: Okay, whose idea was it?
Claudia: What difference does it make?
Ric: Meaning it was yours.
Claudia: It was all just a lesson in futility anyway, because all we did was scare the bejeebees out of this little minister and his wife, and it was just a big game of chicken.
Ric: What did your game accomplish, exactly?
Claudia: I wanted to see how far Jason would go to protect Sonny.
Ric: Who's protecting you, Claudia, huh? Who's protecting you? You have the most to lose here. Don't you even see that?
Claudia: Not if I play it right.
Ric: Would you have married Jason?
Claudia: I thought so, yeah. I mean, at least that was my intention when we first started out, but then I realized he didn't have any intention of marrying me. He was hoping to pay me to leave town.
Ric: And you turned him down.
Claudia: Running is not an option for me. You know it. Which means sooner or later, I'm going to have to marry your brother.
Jason: Claudia came to me and she told me that Anthony offered you his entire organization, but you have to marry her to close the deal.
Sonny: I turned him down. It's -- it's ridiculous.
Jason: Sonny, I know how bad you want Karpov. I can see you convincing yourself to take this deal.
Sonny: I can't go after Karpov on my own. You should have taken a deal. That way, you and Claudia would be married, I'd be locked out of the Zacchara organization as well as my own. You'd be running both. That's what you want, isn't it?
Jason: I never wanted to be against you.
Sonny: You say that, but actions speak louder than words. Look what you've done. You help Carly take my son. And now when I need the organization more than ever, you won't do what needs to be done.
Jason: You know you that cannot trust the Zaccharas, right? You know that.
Sonny: I know I can't trust the Zaccharas, but you're putting me in a position where I'm starting not to trust you.
Jason: Yeah, but Anthony is going to use the situation to provoke a war that could bring us all down. He wants us to be against each other.
Sonny: You think I don't know that? Why are you telling me something I know?
Jason: Because I want to protect you from the Zaccharas, to buy you some time to think. That's why I almost married Claudia.
Sonny: You want me to tell you what "almost married" really means? You're standing at the altar watching the most beautiful woman you've ever seen walk down the aisle toward you, right? And you realize that you have been given a priceless gift. You love this woman. You've loved her for a long time. And as she's walking toward you, it -- for the first time in a long time, it starts to make sense. You understand that everything, good or bad, has lead up to this moment. And you convince yourself that, you know, everything is going to be fine, that you're going to be with this woman forever. So she's standing right in front of you, she looks in your eyes, and at first, the sound doesn't make sense. And then she collapses right in front of you, and you've got blood on your hands from a shot. That's what "almost" means.
Jason: Making a deal with the Zaccharas, it's not going to change anything, Sonny.
Sonny: I didn't make a deal with the Zaccharas. I turned down Claudia.
Jason: Then walk away. Don't let the Zaccharas pull you in.
Sonny: Okay, you've got to understand something. Whatever I decide to do is for the protection of everybody. Yes, I don't trust the Zaccharas, but I may find out what makes them tick. You don't want to help me, so I'm going to handle it the way I handle it and you're going to handle it the way you handle it. And at the end, if we're on opposite sides, so be it.
Claudia: Is this a bad time?
Kate: Go away.
Claudia: Are you up for a little chat, woman to woman?
Kate: I have nothing to say to you.
Claudia: Yeah, well, I'm going to need some insight before I marry Sonny.
Kate: Um, wow. So I'm going to wake up any moment, right, and this is all going to be a bad hospital nightmare and you're going to be gone.
Claudia: Sorry to disappoint you, but you've been missing out on a lot being cooped up in here. You know, my father -- my father offered to let Sonny run the Zacchara organization, but here's the kicker -- Sonny has to marry me first.
Kate: You really are delusional.
Claudia: I just hope my wedding to Sonny goes better than yours did.
Olivia: So what's the plan? You gonna park this baby out here and hope someone's going to buy it?
Patrick: Yep.
Olivia: Not that you actually want to sell it. You know, marriage isn't supposed to mean giving up the thing you love most. It's supposed to be adding to it.
Patrick: Yeah, I don't think driving 143 miles an hour around a track fits with getting married and having a baby on the way.
Olivia: Did Robin tell you to quit?
Patrick: She would never do that. Just, you know, accidents can happen. I don't think it's very responsible of me.
Olivia: You a decent driver?
Patrick: I learned a long time ago that without my hands, I don't have a career. So I drive fast, but I'm careful.
Olivia: So why quit?
Patrick: Hard to justify the time.
Olivia: What, are you going to join NASCAR now? You're going to be part of the chase?
Patrick: Well, no, I just like to race. Spent a lot of time at the track with my dad when I was growing up.
Olivia: You want to deprive your child of that connection? You give this up, sooner or later you're going to start resenting Robin and the baby for it.
Patrick: It's not their fault.
Olivia: Would you even be thinking about quitting if you weren't getting married? Look, all I'm saying is don't give up the thing you love most just because you're making some big changes in your life. Keep racing.
Patrick: That's pretty wise for someone who's never been married.
Olivia: Yeah, I'm just an objective observer. You know, just be honest. Be grateful for everything in your life, and you'll wind up happy enough in the end.
Anna: I'm sorry I missed all the festivities. Looks like it was fun.
Robin: Yeah, it was a lot of fun. It was just, um, nothing much, though, just a surprise bridal shower-slash-wedding shower at Jake's.
Anna: Wow.
Robin: But, I mean, Patrick and I have been working non-stop just so that we can have time to take off after the wedding.
Anna: You haven't been overdoing it, have you?
Robin: Please. Uncle Mac has been hovering enough for the both of you.
Anna: I'm sorry. I know it's ridiculous to be nervous, especially me. I mean, I'm not the pregnant one about to marry Mr. Heartthrob of General Hospital. My daughter is marrying a doctor.
[Anna laughs]
Robin: Mom, I happen to be a doctor, too.
Anna: I know. I'm just being old-fashioned. I can't help it. It's so great. Wow. Sometimes I look at you and I -- I forget you're all grown up. I mean, I remember being pregnant with you. You know, I was all fat and I loved you so much and I wanted to give you the best life I possibly could.
Robin: You did.
Anna: Yeah. I mean, I suppose that all mothers, you know, imagine their daughter's wedding day. But now it's here and you're all so beautiful and accomplished and about to bring your own daughter into the world. Somehow, it just feels like a total surprise.
Maxie: You know, I would always picture the perfect wedding. Not for me, but for my mom and Mac. He loved her so much. I always wanted them to get married so that we could be a family. They did eventually get married. It was a double-wedding with two people that you don't know, Kevin and Lucy. I still think something weird was going on behind the scenes, but I was happy. And I got to wear a really pretty dress. Georgie and I gave our mom the blue ribbons from our hair for her bouquet. You know, something blue.
Spinelli: Yes, I am aware of the tradition.
Maxie: She looked so beautiful that day. And I believed everything she said. She said her heart would always belong to Mac, that he was her wisdom and her hope. They got married and I thought we would be a family forever. Less than a year later, she started having an affair with Luke Spencer and she left us. Their wedding meant nothing.
Spinelli: The Jackal has been long aware of that Maximista carries great pain.
Maxie: I hate my mom. I really do, but I'm just like her.
Spinelli: No. I have to disagree most vehemently.
Maxie: She's a liar, she's unfaithful, she makes terrible choices just like me. So I promised myself a long time ago that I would never hurt anyone the way my mom hurt Mac or Georgie or me, so I'll never get married.
Jan 11, 2009 12:31
Sonny: Oh, are you here to give me brotherly love? Because I really would like that.
Ric: Don't marry Claudia. Don't even consider it.
Sonny: Who told you?
Ric: Claudia did, okay? It's a bad idea, Sonny. It's an insane idea.
Sonny: Is Anthony upset that you're here undercutting him?
Ric: Look, I'll handle Anthony, okay? Right now, my main concern is Claudia.
Sonny: Don't worry about it. I turned him down.
Ric: Sonny, we both know this is his first step in the negotiation. You're just trying -- you want to make him sweat a little bit. I know you, Sonny. You need Anthony Zacchara and his organization in order to bring down Karpov. So at some point, you will have to make a compromise. All I'm saying is, don't involve Claudia.
Sonny: What is this really about, Ric? You don't want me to run the organization because you think I'm going to do better than you, or you don't want me with Claudia?
Kate: There is absolutely no way that Sonny would even consider marrying you. He despises you.
Claudia: Yeah, but he's hot for me at the same time, and that's a powerful combination. Come on, he's never forgotten that night between us. He's always wanted more. He just couldn't admit it.
Kate: You know that everyone has moved on from that night, right? Except for you.
Claudia: I wouldn't be so sure about that, sweetheart. Because I can offer Sonny more than sex now. I can offer him power. Real power. And there is nothing sexier to Sonny than power.
Kate: Yes, Claudia. But if that power comes from you, I can assure you he's not interested.
Claudia: Really? Where is Sonny now, by the way? I just think he'd be sitting right here next to you. But maybe he just wanted to see if he could get a social climber like yourself to drop everything in her life for him. He could. He did. He's gone.
Kate: You know nothing about me and Sonny.
Claudia: You know what I know? You can't touch what I can offer him -- the entire Zacchara empire and red hot sex. Sure, first he has to say no. He has to act noble. But I promise you something, at the end of the day, he's mine.
Olivia: Get the hell away from my cousin.
Jason: Just make sure everyone stays on the job, okay? We don't need anything to escalate. Spinelli's not here.
Maxie: I know. I came to talk to you and it won't take long. Do you think you could put that away?
Jason: What -- what do you need, Maxie?
Maxie: It just really creeps me out.
Jason: I got a lot to do today, okay?
Maxie: Is that why you refuse to go to Patrick and Robin's wedding, because you have to whack someone? That's rude.
Jason: Robin understands why I'm not going to her wedding.
Robin: Because Robin is a wonderful, understanding person who gives you permission to be selfish and inconsiderate, but I do not.
Jason: Okay.
Maxie: Okay? That's it?
Jason: Yeah, that's it. I'm really busy.
Maxie: How many weddings do you think Robin is going to have? I mean, this isn't like Carly, who gets married every five minutes so if you skip out on one, it's not that big of a deal. This is probably the only wedding Robin's ever going to have.
Jason: I understand that.
Maxie: And you've been a huge part of her life. By some miracle, you managed to show Robin compassion and empathy and love when she needed it. I just think you should be there with her when she marries Patrick.
Sonny: I'm not going to marry Claudia unless it's to get what I want. Besides, it's a chump deal. It's -- it was worked up by, you know, an old man. And I'm telling you, Anthony is not stable. Because if he were, he wouldn't be putting his daughter in this situation. I don't want any part of it.
Ric: Well, I hope that's true.
Sonny: I'm going to figure out another way to work this out.
Ric: Well, he needs your expertise, your -- as much, if not more, than you need his. Look, as somebody close to the situation, Sonny, I can assure you that Anthony will eventually cave.
Sonny: Why don't you -- why don't you marry her?
[Ric chuckles]
Sonny: No, no, I'm -- if you -- I'm dead serious. You convince Anthony that you can run the organization and cut me out completely.
Ric: We know that's not going to happen, right? Look, all I'm saying is that she's been through enough with this family. She's not as tough as she seems. Just do me a favor -- stay away from her.
Olivia: You get the hell out of this room.
Claudia: Aren't you going to tell your cousin why I'm here?
Olivia: You're the trashy, psycho daughter of a psycho mob boss. Why would I listen to a word that came out of your mouth?
Claudia: You're both going to have to treat me with a lot more respect when I'm Mrs. Sonny Corinthos. Think about it.
Olivia: Don't worry about it honey, okay? Don't listen to a word she says. She's a crazy nut-job.
Kate: Okay, well, that crazy nut-job claims she's going to marry Sonny.
Jason: I'm -- I'm happy for Robin. That's why I don't want to risk bringing any danger or violence to her wedding.
Maxie: I seriously doubt that anyone will start shooting up Robin's wedding. And you don't have to remind me about what happened to Kate, because that was a totally different situation.
Jason: I still don't want to put Robin at risk.
Maxie: Do you not get this? I was around for the whole Stone thing. I saw how much Robin loved him, and then he died right in front of her. And somehow you were able to help her move on with her life. I think that if it wasn't for you, Robin might not have even tried that HIV drug cocktail.
Jason: Well, she's done a lot for me, too.
Maxie: My point exactly. Come on, Jason. This is the one night you can help Robin celebrate the life she made for herself. You should really be there. Don't mess it up.
Anna: I know today is really not the day for regrets or anything, but if I could do it over --
Robin: Mom, don't do that because we can't do anything over. I mean, all we really have is now.
Anna: I know, I know. I know that. But as mother of the bride, um, I'm allowed to look back on my daughter's wedding day -- it's written down. It's like a rule, okay? So I am allowed to treasure all my memories and be so grateful for the time that we did spend together. I'll always be sorry that I wasn't there to support you when Stone died and that I wasn't there for you when you found out you had HIV. Because taking care of you was my responsibility, and I did let you down.
Robin: I made it through because of you. I mean, because of your courage and because of your strength. You taught me to live my life no matter what, and that's exactly what I did. And now I'm looking forward to a life with the man that I love and my child. And maybe we did miss some important times, but you're here now, and that's all that matters to me. I couldn't be happier, Mom.
Olivia: They took Connie in for tests.
Sonny: What do you mean? When is she going to be back? What are you mad about?
Olivia: Mad does not even begin to describe it.
Sonny: Are you going to tell me or you just going to --
Olivia: Don't you got someplace else you got to be?
Sonny: No. I'm not leaving here until I see Kate.
Olivia: Oh, yeah, when she gets here, you going to tell her any news? I mean, you got anything interesting that you'd like to share with her?
Sonny: What is your problem?
Olivia: Claudia Zacchara was just in this freaking room. She told Connie that she's going to marry you.
Claudia: Hi, Daddy.
Anthony: Oh, such a greeting. What are you up to?
Claudia: I've been thinking.
Anthony: Oh, never a good sign.
Claudia: You know, I think Daddy really does know what's best. It's a little medieval, but after much consideration, I understand why I have to marry Sonny and I'll do it.
Anthony: I knew you'd do what's best for the family once you thought it through.
Claudia: You're going to have to make some concessions, of course.
Anthony: There are no concessions. You'll do what you're told.
Claudia: Why? Why would I? I'm -- I'm sorry, better question -- what's in it for me?
Anthony: No, the better question you should be asking is, what will happen if you disobey me?
Claudia: That's funny. Yeah, see, Daddy, there's not going to be anymore of that. There's not going to be any more threatening me, threatening to send me back to Italy or tampering with my car. Because for the first time in my entire life, you need me, and I'm going to work that to the best advantage I can.
Anthony: You're just like your mother. You're trying to take over. You don't know your place.
Claudia: I'm nothing like my mother. I'm like you. I like to set up situations just to see what will happen. And even you've had to admit that I'm smart and treacherous.
Anthony: You're a disgrace.
Claudia: You really need for this marriage to happen, don't you? And soon. Otherwise, you would have been a lot more subtle. That was a mistake, by the way, showing me that card. Because your plan, it's inherently flawed. I'm your only daughter. If I choose to refuse to marry Sonny, then your plan is dead. It's gone. So that means I'm going to be calling the shots from now on, and you are going to be nice to me -- and I mean real nice. You're going to treat me with respect. Otherwise, no deal and no Sonny.
Patrick: Hello.
Epiphany: Why aren't you at home getting ready for the wedding?
Patrick: I have plenty of time. Don't worry about it.
Epiphany: After all that you put this staff through, you need to be at home getting ready for your wedding, getting dressed like a man who is about to make the biggest commitment of his life -- on time.
Patrick: Huh, look at that. I forgot my watch in my locker.
Epiphany: That's not funny. Dr. Hunter?
Matt: Is there a problem?
Epiphany: I just didn't recognize you without all that scruff on your face. You almost look like a doctor -- almost.
Matt: Hey, Patrick, aren't you supposed to be getting married?
Patrick: Okay, you guys, I have lots of time. I'll be all right.
Matt: I, uh, didn't expect to get an invitation.
Patrick: Yeah, Robin wanted to invite you. I told her that you wouldn't come, but --
Matt: Yeah, well, you got that right.
Robin: Wow, wow, wow. I never thought I'd actually do this.
Anna: God knows you fought it hard enough.
Robin: Thank you, by the way, for being patient with me. If it wasn't for you, for my family and my friends who are all being patient, I probably would have never opened my heart to Patrick and realized that I could have a future with him.
Anna: You're going to have a brilliant future.
Robin: You know what? I'm actually really glad that Patrick and I got all of the kind of messy, bad stuff out of the way, and now we can just get married and have a baby and look forward to the good things.
Anna: That must be a great feeling.
Robin: Yeah. I'm not going to second guess it anymore. I'm just going to be grateful. I'm not going to examine it when I'm happy, try to push it away, try to figure it all out. I'm just going to relax and just be happy.
Anna: You really are, and always have been, an extraordinary daughter.
Robin: I love you so much, Mom.
Anna: I love you more.
Maxie: No, no, no, no. No crying.
Robin: What?
Maxie: I didn't bring anything for puffy eyes.
Robin: Okay, calm down. Everything's fine -- just calm.
Maxie: Oh, calm down. Okay, you want me toe calm? Then I will calmly tell you that you should calmly get dressed and make your way to the church, or you're going to miss your wedding and then I won't be calm.
Robin: I don't understand why I have to change my clothes here when I'm just going to get into my wedding dress the minute I get there.
Maxie: Because that's how it's done. Anna, your dress is at Robin's.
Anna: Okay, I'll go to Robin's.
Mac: Have one of the uniforms take you. They're outside.
Robin: Why is the limo surrounded by squad cars?
Mac: I told you. Nothing is going to hold you up on your way to the church.
Robin: Don't you think that is just a tad over the top?
Maxie: Why shouldn't Mac stop traffic? I think it's brilliant.
Mac: Just doing my job.
Spinelli: The Jackal reporting for duty.
Anna: Oh, my gosh. Is that Spinelli?
Spinelli: Oh, greetings, kick butt mother of the bride.
Anna: You clean up surprisingly well.
Spinelli: Oh, a gracious thanks, adventurous one.
Maxie: I am really glad that you're here.
Robin: So, everything's under control.
Maxie: Yeah. Transportation, bride's dress, shoes, decorations, mother of the bride, Mac -- perfect.
Anna: Um, isn't there something missing, just one thing?
Anna: Does anyone know where Patrick is?
Robin: Oh, well, it's the job of the best man to bring the groom to the church.
Maxie: Which probably means he's passed out at Jake's with Coleman. Spinelli, as the wedding coordinator, I'm officially putting you in charge of making sure that the groom gets to the church on time. Do whatever it takes.
Robin: Maxie, relax. Patrick will be there on time.
Epiphany: The labs should be up in about a half an hour. You're going to have to check on that skull fracture in room 1014. I assigned a nurse to him, but then I don't know if --
Matt: Nurse Johnson, I am the doctor. That means I get to give the orders.
Epiphany: Well, by all means, don't allow me to stand in your way. I need to go home and get ready for the wedding, anyway. What are you -- what are you still doing here?
Patrick: Picking up my charts.
Epiphany: You can't be serious. You can't be bothered to go home and get ready for your own wedding?
Patrick: I have plenty of time to do my rounds and get ready for my wedding.
Epiphany: Why are you so determined to tempt fate?
Olivia: You gonna tell me again how you're not going to marry Claudia, or maybe you want to wait and tell your other fiancée?
Sonny: I'm going to make sure Claudia never comes near Kate again.
Olivia: That's fine, Sonny, but first, you tell me that Claudia was lying.
Sonny: I have no intention of marrying Claudia. I can't stand the woman.
Olivia: You can stand her, Sonny. She's the means to an end for you.
Sonny: She's probably running her mouth all over town at this point.
Olivia: Yeah, because she realizes what I knew the minute I heard this ridiculous plan. You are going to hate it. You're going to be all mad and brooding and dangerous, but you're going to convince yourself that you got to do it because it's payback, for revenge -- for whatever, you got to do it. If Claudia is going to get you what you want and if that thing is power that someone took away from you, then you will marry Claudia.
Anthony: Stop trying to turn this to your advantage.
Claudia: I don't have to try. Now, you need to me, so start telling me the plan because I'm going to want to make some adjustments.
Anthony: You are just like your mother. You are ungrateful, and you are spoiled rotten! I gave you everything.
Claudia: You have talked down to me my entire life! You have treated me like I was nothing, like I didn't exist, like I was some sort of a mistake, and now you're trying to pimp me out to Sonny Corinthos? Well, that's fine. That's fine, but it's not free.
Anthony: You're a disgrace as a daughter.
Claudia: You better watch what you say to me, old man, because if I choose not to marry Sonny, your deal -- whatever it is -- will fall apart. Your empire, everything that you spent your entire life building will be gone, but I'll survive because I am smarter than you, I am tougher than you, and for all you know, I'm meaner. I've had to fight for every damn thing I've ever gotten in this family, and now you are going to fight for my cooperation.
Anthony: No. You won't do this. You won't take anything that belongs to me, and you will obey me! Do you understand? You are my daughter and you --
Claudia: Daddy?
[Anthony gasping]
Jan 11, 2009 12:32
Sonny: You have not changed since you were 15 years old. You're up in my face, telling me how I should think, what I should do --
Olivia: You're not that hard to figure out, Sonny. You've already got yourself convinced that you got to marry Claudia Zacchara.
[Sonny sighs]
Claudia: Daddy? Daddy? Is this some kind of a joke? If it is, it's not funny. Daddy, are you really having a seizure?
Elizabeth: When I walked in and saw you standing here, I thought I was dreaming. It wouldn't be the first time.
Jason: You look beautiful.
Mac: Okay, okay, look --
Robin: Wow.
Mac: Robin, you should take it easy now.
Robin: Uncle Mac, I am fine.
Mac: You have a lot to deal with. Weddings can be stressful.
Robin: You know, they can also be very, very stressful for the uncle of the bride. So, maybe you should lie down.
Maxie: No, no, no. There's not time to stop and appreciate the decorations. Although, they are perfect -- if I do say so myself. You really need to be getting ready.
Robin: Maxie, it's really early.
Maxie: Oh, it's early? Yeah, that's easy for you to say. You just have to show up and say your vows. I'm the one who has to plan everything. What are you doing? No one's supposed to be in here just yet.
Mac: Jason shouldn't be here at all.
Robin: Uncle Mac, I want him to be here.
Mac: I'm not kidding. I'll have Jason arrested before I let him come to your wedding.
Epiphany: I hate to be the voice of reason here, but why aren't you at home getting ready for your wedding?
Patrick: I'm a guy. I have plenty of time to get ready.
Epiphany: Why are you tempting fate?
Patrick: Epiphany, don't get all superstitious on me. I've got plenty of time to go take care of my patients, make sure everybody's okay, go home, and get changed and ready for my wedding.
Epiphany: Famous last words.
Sonny: You have no idea what I've been through, what my life has been.
Olivia: I read the papers.
Sonny: That's not me. Police rap sheets, newspaper reports, they don't describe who I am.
Olivia: You look me in the eye, and you tell me you're not still a power junkie.
Sonny: Well, I have my limits. Like I said before, I have no intention of marrying Claudia.
Kate: You see, Olivia? You got all fired up for nothing.
Sonny: He's gone.
Kate: Okay.
Sonny: How're you doing?
Sonny: Come on.
Olivia: Connie, you're kidding yourself. You're doing it all over again, Connie. You're believing his lies, just like you believed him when he told you that he was out of the mob.
Kate: Leave it.
Olivia: I don't care what promises he makes to you. I don't care what words he says. If marrying Claudia is going to get him his power back, honey, that's what he is going to do. And you need to have the decency to tell her the truth and stop stringing her along.
Kate: You know, Olivia, I am starting to think that the reason you're all fired up about this is because you want Sonny, after all.
Claudia: Daddy.
Claudia: Your pulse is all over the place. I used to pray for this when I was a little girl, that something like this would happen to you for all the horrible things you've done. Maybe this is God answering my prayers.
Johnny: What happened?
Claudia: He was yelling at me and then he collapsed. What are you doing?
Johnny: I'm calling for help.
Claudia: No. John, think about it. Think about how much better our lives would be without that old bastard in it.
Johnny: What are you talking about? He's our father. I don't care what he's done.
Claudia: Please, Johnny. Let the old man die.
Robin: Uncle Mac, calm down. Everything's fine.
Mac: Jason still can't stay for the wedding.
Maxie: That's probably something we should have discussed before.
Mac: Look at him. He's not even dressed for a wedding. You know better than to show up here, Jason.
Robin: Okay, can I just have a moment alone with him, please?
Elizabeth: I'm going to get the bride's room ready.
Maxie: Yeah, the bride's in charge on her wedding day. That's tradition, so --
Robin: So, what changed your mind about coming to the wedding?
Jason: Well, Maxie made me think twice about why I should accept your invitation.
Robin: Good. I just have another thing to thank her for.
Jason: So, I am going to leave it up to you.
Robin: Well, if it's up to me, then I want you here.
Patrick: Mr. Costas is running a high fever. I put him on cefazolin, 1 gram, I.V., and piggyback q8.
Leyla: Okay, I'll take care of it doctor.
Patrick: Thank you.
Matt: Nurse Mir, did radiology send over any x-rays for the patient in 1023?
Leyla: I'll do that right now.
Matt: Thank you. What?
Patrick: About the wedding --
Matt: Yeah, you don't want me there. I don't want to be there. We finally agree on something.
Patrick: Look, Robin would like you there. So would I.
Matt: This wedding is making you soft, and for your own good, I'm advising you to remain a hard-ass.
Patrick: Before I realized that we were related, I didn't really like you much. I thought you had a bad attitude, and I thought you were arrogant.
Matt: Stop, stop. I'm getting warm and fuzzy.
Patrick: But then I realized where the attitude was coming from. Noah abandoned you. So, I'm cutting you a break.
Matt: Don't make excuses for me.
Patrick: I know it's easier to just hate me, but we're brothers.
Matt: Technicality.
Patrick: It's a reality, and I don't have a lot of family.
Matt: Do you have any idea how uncomfortable I am right now?
Patrick: Look, if you can make it to the wedding, I'd appreciate it. Robin and I would both like to have you there.
Elizabeth: Hey.
Maxie: Okay. So, everything is under control.
Robin: I know.
Maxie: No, seriously. All I have to do is wait for the caterers to show up, make sure the cake gets here in one piece, and that the limo doesn't break down.
Elizabeth: But, other than that, everything is under control.
Robin: I trust you completely, Maxie.
Maxie: Of course you do. Oh, damn -- the priest. I didn't mean damn. Not in a church.
Robin: It's okay. It's technically the bride's room. I don't think you're going to hell.
Elizabeth: Okay. So, up or down?
Robin: I don't care, as long as you keep doing this.
Maxie: I know you meant whatever looks best with your dress.
Robin: I really don't care either way.
Maxie: Are you losing it?
Robin: Maxie, come on. Do it with me -- deep breath.
[Both exhale]
Robin: Hey, thank you for talking to Jason. It means a lot to me that he's here.
Maxie: Well, I thought it was kind of selfish of him not to show up on your special day. And don't worry about Patrick.
Robin: Oh, I'm --
Maxie: Spinelli will make sure he gets here in one piece.
Elizabeth: Now you can worry.
Robin: You know, Patrick and I have done enough worrying for two lifetimes, but the second I agreed to marry him, I haven't had a second thought.
Elizabeth: Reverse hormones.
Maxie: Okay, I'm going to go make four quick phone calls, and then I'm going to go home and change, but I'll make it back here in time to do your makeup. Everything will be great. You will see.
Robin: I am sure. Wait -- wait -- hold on -- hold on. I have to tell you something. I love you, very much.
Maxie: Oh, God.
[Laughing]
Robin: Bye.
Elizabeth: Okay, now you can relax. All I have to do is your hair, and you can be as worried as you want in front of me.
Robin: You know what? I keep waiting to get nervous, but I'm not. You know, I keep waiting for this wave of panic to hit me, to tell me that I'm doing something wrong, but all I feel is very content and like I can't wait to marry Patrick.
Matt: Look, if you're asking me to your wedding out of some sense of obligation, don't bother. The fact that Noah blew me off my entire life doesn't mean that you owe me squat.
Patrick: Hey, Noah was M.I.A. for most of my childhood, also -- emotionally speaking. So, honestly, I don't know what's worse -- the fact that you didn't know him or that he was there for me but felt like a stranger.
Leyla: Dr. Drake?
Patrick: Yes?
Leyla: Nurse Johnson sent me to tell you that she's gone to get ready for your wedding and so should you.
Patrick: Yes, yes. Tell her I'm right behind her.
Leyla: Okay.
Matt: See, this is why weddings are such a bad idea. They bring out the worst in everyone.
Patrick: Okay, Matt, bottom line. We're brothers. Now, we can build on that or not, but I'm making you an offer, and I really hope you accept.
Maxie: This is a disaster. You're not in your tux. I'm not in my dress. We need to get out of here so we can get back here. So that we're not no-shows at Robin's wedding, because I planned it.
Mac: Come here. Come here a second.
Maxie: Dad, if this is about Jason --
Mac: Sit down. It's not about Jason, all right. I'm obviously powerless over that insanity. No, I'm just -- I'm just sitting here wondering where the time goes. You know, the first time I saw Robin was at Kelly's? She was this adorable, in-your-face little girl who absolutely knew her own mind and wouldn't take "no" for an answer.
Maxie: So, she hasn't changed much.
[Both laugh]
Mac: You know, I hate to admit it, but back then I was a bit of a trouble maker. And one day I thought my brother and his wife had been killed, and suddenly I found myself responsible for raising their child. And you weren't far behind. I blinked, married your mom, and got you and Georgie in the bargain. And what a bargain it was.
Maxie: Sometimes it doesn't seem fair. It's almost like you got stuck with us. You know, raising us, putting up with us, and you didn't even ask for it.
Mac: Well, if it ever bothered me, I don't remember -- especially on a day like today. Wow, Robin's getting married. Soon she'll have a baby. It couldn't be more perfect.
Maxie: What do you think you would have done if you hadn't fallen in love with my mom?
Mac: Hmm, hmm. I don't know. Who knows, you know? When you're young, you're all about your career. You define yourself by what you do, and not who you are. In those days, it was all about going off on some adventure to save the world, and then I became police commissioner and it was about busting the bad guys. But the most important -- most important thing I ever did in my whole life was raise you three girls. The rest is gravy.
Maxie: Well, I think you did a really great job with Robin and Georgie.
Mac: I think I did a really great job with you, too. I love you, Maxie. So much. You know, you, Robin, and Georgie are my true success. I miss your sister. I wish she could be here with us.
Maxie: She is, Dad.
Olivia: Connie was completely out of line there.
Sonny: Okay, Olivia, Kate is in no condition to hear any stories about me marrying Claudia. You -- do me a favor -- let it go.
Olivia: She's in condition to make snide comments and get all up in my face with this crap about me being jealous. That -- it's completely no basis in reality, okay? Okay, the smartest day of my life was the day that I dumped you on the corner of 19th and Sullivan and walked out of your life.
Sonny: Well, you didn't really walk out of my life. Did you? Because you just broke into my damn house, and you obviously feel something or else you wouldn't be getting in my face.
Leyla: Patrick.
Patrick: I know, I know. I'm almost done.
Leyla: Okay, you do realize that everybody who is going to your wedding has actually left the hospital.
Patrick: I do, okay. Look -- officially signed out. The next time I sign in, I'm a married man.
Leyla: Good. Oh, Patrick?
Patrick: Yeah?
Leyla: I just want you to know that I wish you and Robin every happiness. I really mean it.
Patrick: I know you do. Thank you for that. Okay? So, that's it.
Leyla: Go. Go, go, go.
Doctor: Patient suffered a grand mal, an aneurysm that's slowly leaking.
Patrick: Well, I'm off duty. I can't --
Leyla: Dr. Drake has a prior engagement.
Johnny: I will pay you anything to save my father.
Olivia: I am completely impervious to you, Sonny. I look at you. I feel exactly nothing.
Sonny: Yeah, really? Then why are you so angry?
Olivia: Because I can't stand what you're doing to my cousin. Okay, I got to stand here like a dummy and watch her swallow your lies whole. It's making me feel sick --
Sonny: I'm not lying.
Olivia: You're lying so good you don't even know you're doing it.
Sonny: Why do you keep saying I'm lying, when I'm not lying?
Olivia: Okay, I -- I give you that. You believe your own lies. You got yourself convinced that you wouldn't touch this Claudia Zacchara with a ten foot pole, which is a very good instinct by the way, but it's a massive case of self-deception.
Sonny: You know what? This is just -- it seems so familiar -- you going off on a rant because you don't want to see me anymore, you don't want me to call. And then if I don't call you or see you, then you get pissed off. Because you were never really good at saying what you really mean.
Olivia: No, you were never really good at hearing what I was saying. Just -- you just do whatever the hell you want. Like the time you cut school to take me to a Yankees game, when you stole the money for the tickets --
Sonny: No, I didn't steal -- hey, I didn't steal the money for -- I didn't steal. Enzo owed me money.
Olivia: Or making a deal with this Zacchara guy that makes you the king of the mob, only you got to marry his crazy daughter first.
Sonny: I'm not about to discuss business with you.
Olivia: You don't have to discuss squat with me, Sonny, because I know what I know -- and I know you. And I know that you'll do anything to get power, even if you got to break your own heart.
Robin: Thank you so much for doing my hair. If Maxie would have done it, I think she would have left me bald or burned my hair or something.
Elizabeth: Well, after everything you've been through, it is my pleasure to add a small contribution to your big day.
Robin: I don't know what I was so afraid of. I mean, everything just feels right.
Elizabeth: You know, with all the disappointments I have had in my life, it's really hard for me not to be cynical, and I want to believe that love is possible. And when I see you like this, I know it is.
Robin: Hey, come here. Sit down for a second. Please? I just want you to know that I'm really glad that we're friends. Your friendship means a lot to me, and you're such a generous person, and, well -- I have a little confession to make.
Robin: I didn't invite Jason to the wedding just for me. I wanted him to be able to look at you through the ceremony and maybe get some ideas.
Elizabeth: I don't really know how to feel about that.
Robin: Well, let me put it this way. You're a good friend. I care about Jason a lot, and it would make me so happy if the two of you were to end up together. So, since today is all about me…
Elizabeth: Mm-hmm.
Robin: You're just going to have to indulge me on this one.
Elizabeth: I'll try.
Claudia: We don't want Patrick Drake to do this surgery. He's too good.
Johnny: You don't want Dad to die.
Claudia: Yeah, I do.
Johnny: Claudia.
Claudia: I do.
Johnny: I know you, and if I hadn't called the ambulance in time, you would have.
Claudia: John, if Daddy dies, this ridiculous plan dies with him, and I won't have to marry a man that I -- that I despise. You will be in control of the business everything will be exactly the way that we need it to be, the way that we want it to be. How's Anthony?
Patrick: I'm sorry.
Claudia: Is he dead?
Patrick: We've confirmed that there's blood leaking into his brain from an aneurysm, and that's what caused the seizure. We don't know when, but when it erupts, he'll die within minutes. He needs immediate surgery.
Johnny: Can you save him?
Robin: Do you think your dad's nervous at all?
[Chuckles]
Robin: Maybe just a little bit, right? You know this is going to be a huge adjustment for him, so you and I are going to have to be very, very patient.
Robin: Do you know how crazy in love I am with your dad? I mean, it was just silly of me to ever hesitate marrying him because ever since the moment I said "I will" everything has been perfect.
[Laughs]
Robin: Well, I'm glad that you agree. I feel so blessed to be having you -- and so grateful. I'm so lucky to have found a man like your dad that loves me the way that he does. But you know, well, your dad was something of a ladies man. So, he may not take to domestic life so easily. But don't you worry. It's going to be an adventure for all of us.
Olivia: You do what you got to do, Sonny. Okay? All I'm asking is that you be honest with my cousin.
Sonny: Well, you're not asking. You hardly ever did. That was one of your problems.
Olivia: That's not an answer.
Sonny: You want an answer?
Olivia: Yeah.
Sonny: I'll give you an answer. My son was shot. He's in a coma. Kate was shot right in front of me. I will avenge Kate's shooting. And in order for me to do that, I have to get back in the mob. End of conversation.
Olivia: This is so typical. This is so typical you. Yeah, you make up your mind about something, and then you don't care how much it hurts you, or how much pain it causes people around you.
Sonny: You just figured it out. I'm just a heartless bastard, right?
Olivia: Sonny, Sonny. I don't think you're some crazy sociopath who enjoys killing people. Okay? But you accept murder as a necessary evil. Am I wrong? Tell me I'm wrong.
Sonny: The door's right there.
Olivia: Too close to the truth?
Sonny: No, no, not really. You want to know the truth? I kill bad people. Karpov is a bad man. And he will pay for shooting Kate. I need that inside of me.
Olivia: See, this is only half about revenge, Sonny. What you really want is your power back. You want to be back in the mob. You want your mob life back. Don't worry about it. All you got to do is marry Claudia Zacchara to get it.
Jan 11, 2009 12:33
[Knock on door]
Robin: Come in.
Anna: Do you have time for mom?
Robin: Yes, I'm glad you're here.
Anna: My goodness, your hair. That's gorgeous.
Robin: It's okay?
Anna: Oh, I love it. It's so grown up. It's really cute.
Anna: Where's the dress?
Robin: Right there. I'm not supposed to put it on, though, yet. Maxie said to wait, so as not to wrinkle it.
Anna: Oh, good, because I'd like to help you into it if I could.
Robin: Okay.
Anna: Okay, good. All right, so, I have to read you this personally. All right?
Anna: Let me put my glasses on because I can't see anything.
Anna: Here we go. Now, my darling girl, I am so proud of you and the woman you've become. It's the one thing your mother and I will always agree on -- it's the only thing.
[Robin chuckles]
Anna: It breaks my heart to miss your special day, but I promise I will be there soon to share your joy. Patrick is a lucky man. He better treat you like a queen or he'll have to answer to me. I love you with all my heart, Dad.
Robin: Thanks, Mom.
Anna: You're welcome. I wish he could be here.
Anna: I'm going to look at your dress.
Robin: You do realize I'm going to look like a float in a Thanksgiving Day parade.
Anna: You're not going to look like a float. Oh, oh -- it's so beautiful. Wow, you're not going to look big. It's going to look fabulous. Everybody's going to think you're beautiful.
Robin: Big and fabulous.
Anna: Big and fabulous. You know what I can't get over is how incredibly calm you've been this whole time.
Robin: Yeah, well, I'm counting my blessings. You know there was a time when I was young and I thought you and dad were gone -- that this day would never be possible. And here you are. We're together. You're helping me get ready on my wedding day.
Anna: I know.
Robin: It's like a dream come true.
Anna: Yeah, it is.
Patrick: Dr. Beeman will be here soon.
Johnny: Is he as good as you?
Claudia: It's -- you know what? John, that's not fair. Dr. Drake just said that he's on his way to get married. He has to go.
Johnny: Not at the expense of our father's life. I'm not going to have some doctor I've never heard of operate on my father.
Matt: Yeah, I can do the surgery. That's fine.
Patrick: Excuse me for a second. I'm not going to let you operate on Anthony Zacchara.
Matt: Aren't you off the clock? Oh, and there is a church full of people who are waiting for you to get married. No, no, you're afraid that people might find out I'm as good with a scalpel as you are.
Patrick: Okay, well, that's just not true. And it's beside the point. Anthony Zacchara is a dangerous mobster. If you screw this up, his family will hold you responsible, and I don't want that on my conscious.
Matt: I'm not going to screw it up. And look, if Zacchara happens to die on the table, the world is a better place. Right? So really, where is the downside?
Patrick: Nurse Mir, what's the E.T.A. on Dr. Beeman?
Leyla: Twenty minutes at least. Traffic.
Patrick: Matt Hunter will assist me in the E.R., and I will operate on your father.
Matt: You're supposed to be getting shackled to Robin right now.
Patrick: I took an oath to save lives. Robin will understand.
Mac: Thank you. Good seeing you.
Bobbie: Congratulations, Mac.
Mac: Oh, Bobbie, it's so great to see you.
Bobbie: Aw, thank you. Well, you know I wouldn't miss this for the world. Just the idea of Robin getting married and having a baby -- this is a real miracle.
Mac: I'm grateful every day.
Coleman: Barbara Jean Spencer, my goodness. You are looking hot.
Bobbie: Mr. Coleman.
Mac: Coleman is Patrick's best man. Go figure.
Bobbie: Oh. Mac, I got a phone call from Lucky, and there's some issue with Laura at Shadybrook. So, he wasn't exactly clear, but I don't think that Lucky or Nikolas are going to make it to the wedding. They both send their love.
Mac: I'll let Robin know.
Bobbie: Okay, I'll see you inside.
Mac: Okay.
Bobbie: Okay.
Coleman: Psst. Save me a dance at the reception, Barbara Jean.
Coleman: Tasty.
Mac: You can go inside, too.
Coleman: Yeah, well, Patrick said I should help you welcome the guests.
[Sighs]
Coleman: You know, maybe we can -- maybe we can pretend like you haven't busted me a couple dozen times. I mean, this is God's house and after all, it's all about forgiveness, brother. Huh?
Mac: For Robin's sake I'll try.
Coleman: Very good.
Mac: Where's the groom?
Coleman: Isn't he here?
Monica: Hi, Mac?
Mac: Hi, Monica. Edward, you look good.
Edward: Thank you. I talked to Father Coates. He gave me a dispensation.
Mac: Any particular reason?
Monica: The hat. Doctor's orders he has to keep his head covered at all times.
Edward: So I want to apologize in advance for attending your niece's wedding looking like a street hooligan.
Monica: Oh, you look fine, Edward.
Mac: The hat's a nice touch.
Coleman: You're looking smooth, Mr. Q. Looking smooth.
Monica: We'll find our own seats.
Coleman: Very sexy. You look like a player. You too, Monica. You look beautiful.
Mac: You know what, Coleman, you don't seem to be up on the concept of best man. I mean, your job is to make sure the groom gets here in a timely fashion.
Coleman: Look, Patrick said he'd meet me here. If you're going to get your -- you know, your panties in a in a dither about it, I guess I could give him a call if you'd like.
Mac: He's not -- he's not answering his phone at home, and his cell goes right to voicemail.
Coleman: He ain't going to miss this, Mac. Just chill, brother. Just chill. I'm telling you, it's all good.
Nadine: Hello, Commissioner. Mr. Coleman.
Coleman: How's my favorite country girl?
Nadine: Good.
Coleman: Good? Are you in the mood to party tonight?
Nadine: Uh, it's a wedding.
Coleman: Which leads to a party. So you'd better save me a dance, girl.
Mac: Glad you could make it, Nadine.
Nadine: Thank you.
Coleman: Maybe we'll do a little two-step.
Mac: Mike, glad you could make it.
Mike: Congrats, Mac. Let's hope this wedding goes a little better than the last one I went to. Ah, but of course it will. Maybe I'll just go inside.
Mac: You do that. Go on.
Coleman: Like those boots, Michael. Oh, it is the Charlie's Angels of Port Charles. Hey, get in -- let me get a picture of you girls, come on. Get tight. Not too tight. Boom.
Kelly: How does it look? Oh, my. So where's, uh -- where's the groom?
Epiphany: He was supposed to have left the hospital before I did. I've already been home and changed my clothes. He was supposed to be here already.
Coleman: He's going to be here. Guaran-damn-tee it. Okay?
Lainey: How's Robin?
Mac: Eerily calm.
[Nervous laughter]
Epiphany: Okay, let's --
Kelly: Go inside.
Lainey: See you inside.
Mac: See you inside.
Jax: Sorry I'm late.
Mac: Jax, you're not the one who's late. Thanks for coming. Excuse me. Coleman, step up, will you? Call Patrick. Find out if he's on his way or not.
Patrick: All righty. Okay, everyone, I got my wedding to make it to, so let's make this short and sweet.
Leyla: Yes, doctor.
Patrick: Try and keep up, Dr. Hunter.
Matt: No sweat, bro. I'll just be cleaning up your mistakes.
Maxie: I'm sorry I'm late. I got stuck in traffic, and I couldn't get my dress to look right --
Maxie: Oh, your makeup is done already.
Anna: Yeah, I thought I'd do a little contribution. Does it look okay?
Maxie: I would have put a little more shimmer on, but that's just me, whatever.
Anna: Okay, here.
Robin: Come here. Listen, you're like a sister to me. And this entire day would not be happening if it wasn't for you.
Maxie: Oh, thank you. Well, we need to take care of your something old, something new tradition.
Anna: Oh, I have something old. I really do. I brought it for you. Okay, so look.
Robin: Oh, it's so pretty.
Anna: Isn't it so beautiful?
Robin: Yes.
Anna: Now, I'll tell you the story about this. This was given to me by Filomena on the day that I married your dad. Yeah, so it really means something special to me because, of course, that day led to you.
Robin: Filomena. I miss her.
Anna: Oh, I know. She loved you like a granddaughter. She did. It looks beautiful.
Maxie: I have something blue for you. Hopefully it doesn't clash.
Anna: Oh, that's so pretty.
Robin: Have I seen that before?
Maxie: Yeah. It was Georgie's. She would want you to have it.
Robin: Thank you. I miss her almost as much as you do.
Anna: I have something borrowed as well. This is from your dad.
[Laughter]
Anna: And it might actually come in handy today. Don't you think so?
Robin: I think it might. Thanks, Mom.
Anna: You're welcome.
Maxie: Okay, I guess we're just missing something new.
Anna: Oh, no we're not. This is the most amazingly new thing you could ever have -- a little girl right in there.
Robin: That's true. The two of you -- thank you for being here. And thank you for giving me a little piece of everybody that I love.
Maxie: So pretty.
Anna: She does. I love her hair.
Coleman: Mr. Corinthos, hey. I didn't realize you were on the guest list.
Sonny: Yeah? I didn't realize you were the welcoming committee.
Coleman: Well, I'm -- I'm Patrick's best man.
Sonny: Yeah, well, times must be lean. Um, hey, you know what? As long as Robin's happy, that's all that matters.
Coleman: Guess so.
Sonny: All right, nice to see you.
Coleman: You take it easy, man.
Jason: Robin asked me to -- you know, to come.
Sonny: Yeah, yeah, me too. I probably would've come even if she didn't ask -- for Stone. I've been standing here thinking about the day he died. You know, Robin was so calm. She had an amazing dignity. The only kind that comes from grief. I remember thinking nobody that young should have to lose someone. You know, I did everything I could to try to help her out, but I don't think I did that well, you know? You did. You were different then. You were young, you know? Even younger than Robin because of the accident, and you didn't know anything. That was the beauty of it. You just gave her what she needed. You didn't judge her. You loved her. And you were a good friend to me. I just want to say -- no matter what's gone down between us, I'm just glad that we're here to see Robin on her wedding day.
Lainey: No sign of the groom.
Kelly: Those bachelor genes are hard-wired. If they kicked in, there's no telling how far Patrick's made it into Canada by now.
Epiphany: I should have waited for Drake Junior to leave the hospital.
Elizabeth: If Robin's not worried, neither am I.
Epiphany: Oh, please, that girl doesn't have a sensible bone in her body. Look how long it took her to say yes to him.
Elizabeth: What if he got pulled into a procedure?
Epiphany: Then I guess we're going to find out if Drake Junior is a good doctor or a lousy husband.
Robin: Is it too much?
Anna: No, no, no, no -- no, it's perfect.
Maxie: Your mom's right. You look so beautiful.
Anna: Yeah, you do.
Patrick: How's his pressure?
Anesthesiologist: Holding steady.
Patrick: Is there a reason why you're watching the clock, Dr. Hunter?
Matt: Uh, yeah, there's a ball game on tonight. I hate to miss it.
Patrick: Keep your eye on the patient.
Maxie: Okay, well, I've timed it out to the exact minute, so you're safe to put your dress on and not risk any major wrinkling.
Anna: She is so serious. Wow.
Robin: That's why she's in charge. She is organized.
Mac: Are you ready yet, sweetheart?
Maxie: No, Mac, she doesn't need any extra pressure.
Robin: I just have to put my dress on, and then I'm ready. Are we almost set out there?
Mac: Not quite.
Patrick: Dr. Hunter, you might want to pay attention. There's plenty for you to learn here.
Matt: Yeah, I can keep him stable if you, say, need to go make a phone call or something.
Patrick: I'll be where I need to be when I need to be there. It's absolutely fascinating how you're all obsessed with my personal life.
Leyla: Well, it's just that you and Robin took so long to actually agree to marry each other.
Patrick: Yeah, well, let's just all agree to focus on the patient for now.
Mac: Look, I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation -- or at least there damn well better --
Spinelli: I, the Jackal, have the most ominous of reports for the bridal one. Despite a thorough search for the gallant groom, he is currently unaccounted for. I kept watch in all sensitive areas, but with no other recourse have to admit that I have failed in my appointed task.
Mac: What the hell is he saying?
Maxie: No, Spinelli, just tell us what happened?
Spinelli: Dr. Drake is missing.
Anna: You're just not looking hard enough.
Spinelli: No, I, I -- the Jackal made a thorough search. He's not answering his cell phone. He's not at home. He's not in the church. As I previously explained, he is most definitely missing.
Patrick: Okay, there it is. It looks like it could have burst any second. Give me some suction so I can see where to place the clip.
Matt: Why don't you let me take it from here?
Patrick: I haven't even gotten to the hard part yet.
Matt: You are not going to make it to the church on time.
[Beeping]
Patrick: We've got a bleeder.
Cyndy: His pressure is dropping. He's going to SVT.
Patrick: We need to clamp this or else he's history.
Jan 11, 2009 12:34
Coleman: I like that song. So you thinking what I'm thinking, Father?
Father Coates: Have faith, Mr. Coleman. It's too early to speculate.
Coleman: Hope to hell you're right. Oh, no offense, chief.
Father Coates: None taken.
Jason: You know, when Robin first asked me to come to her wedding, I turned her down. Doing what we do, it didn't seem like such a good idea.
Sonny: You sure you didn't want to avoid the reception?
Jason: Yeah, you know how much I love parties. This is Robin's day. You know, she's done so much for me.
Sonny: Remember that when she asks you to dance.
Jason: What are you talking about, dance?
Sonny: Well --
Jason: What, you don't think she's too pregnant to dance?
Sonny: No --
Jason: What, am I supposed to be the one who asks her?
Sonny: You know how long it's been since you've asked my advice about anything?
Maxie: Okay, well, we have to find Patrick, because we can't have a wedding without a groom.
Spinelli: The whereabouts of the doctor of love remain a mystery. I -- I am at a regrettable loss.
Anna: Did you leave a message on his cell?
Spinelli: Yes, conveying the utmost urgency.
Maxie: Well, maybe he's in the bathroom or something.
Spinelli: I've explored every nook and cranny of this house of worship.
Maxie: He can't do this to me. Or to you.
Robin: Maxie, it's okay.
Mac: Robin, if he left you standing at the altar, I swear I'll make him sorry he ever met you.
Robin: Uncle Mac, don't worry. Patrick will be here.
Patrick: The aneurysm completely ruptured. He's bleeding out fast.
Matt: We need to clamp the vessel.
Patrick: I can't find the vessel. There's too much blood. Get some suction. Retract that back.
Nurse: 70 over 40 and still dropping.
Patrick: Come on, come on.
Matt: Yeah, that's the vessel. Yeah.
Patrick: Okay, clamp it.
Matt: Done.
Patrick: Okay, good.
Matt: Any second thoughts?
Patrick: I'm a little busy right now.
Matt: Oh, really, your bride-to-be is in a church waiting. Here you are in the O.R., saving the life of a violent criminal. Second thoughts?
Patrick: He's a long way from being saved.
Tracy: You dragged me onto a plane with no gas.
Luke: I got you home, didn't I?
Tracy: We could have crashed into a mountain.
Luke: But we didn't. We landed in a nice, soft cornfield.
Tracy: You could have killed us.
Luke: It was a big rush, not knowing if you were going to live or die, wasn't it?
Tracy: I don't like adventure.
Luke: You take to it like a duck to water.
Tracy: All right, enough. We need to concentrate on Lulu.
Luke: Well, that's what you keep saying.
Tracy: At least you don't look like you dragged yourself off a barroom floor, which you did.
Luke: With your able assistance.
Doctor: Mr. and Mrs. Spencer, I assure you we are doing everything in our power to find her.
Luke: What happened to my daughter?
Doctor: Actually, I was referring to Laura Spencer. It seems she disappeared from her room last night.
Luke: How can Laura disappear? She can't walk. She can't talk.
Tracy: Well, you know, Lulu had that delusion that she woke up. Maybe she moved her to another room.
Luke: Well, I have to talk to my daughter.
Doctor: Unfortunately, she's not here, either. Lulu appropriated a clinic van and left the premises without authorization not long after her mother went missing.
Luke: What kind of a funny farm are you running here?
Tracy: Maybe the two of them are together.
Doctor: She's with her brother, Nikolas Cassadine. He called several times last night while we were searching for Laura. He seemed convinced that Lulu was telling the truth, although since she is technically still a patient, Lulu's story should be viewed with some skepticism.
Luke: What story?
Doctor: Your daughter insists that Laura was completely responsive, walking and speaking.
Scott: Oh, you look beautiful.
Laura: Thank you.
Scott: I figure we got enough stuff -- new clothes and stuff to last us for a little bit.
Laura: You can see Grauman's Chinese from here.
Scott: "Kramer vs. Kramer," that's what was playing on -- on a honeymoon.
Laura: Seems like a hundred years ago, doesn't it? We were just a couple of kids on our honeymoon.
Scott: I told you back then I'd buy you a yacht, furs, diamonds.
Laura: Well, we both had a lot of dreams and plans that just didn't work out.
Scott: Well, maybe they just got delayed. Maybe we can still recapture those dreams and those plans, you know? Stir up the feelings that we -- we had for each other. That you had for me.
Laura: That's going to be pretty tough, given that I woke up to you threatening my daughter.
Maxie: I just want this to be the perfect day for you.
Robin: It will be.
Maxie: I don't understand how she's so calm.
Anna: I know, she's so calm.
Robin: Because I know him. There's a perfectly logical explanation to why he's not here yet.
Anna: All right, good.
Mac: You know what? Local 911 reports no traffic accidents within the last two hours, so he's not laid up in E.R. -- yet.
Spinelli: And nobody by the name of the tardy groom has paid a fare on a plane, bus, train, or rental car in the metro region.
Mac: If I wasn't so upset about Robin, I'd have you arrested for what you just did!
Robin: He's not trying to leave me at the altar, okay? He's probably just at the hospital or something. I'll call.
Mac: I'll check. I'll check.
Spinelli: The Jackal shall inquire.
Robin: Please don't choke the system, okay? Got him on speed dial. Hey, Heather, it's Robin. Thank you, I'm actually still single. That's why I'm calling. Is Patrick at the hospital?
Matt: Well, his heart is beating at a decent rhythm.
Leyla: B.P. is improving.
Patrick: I can't clip it. All we need to do is reconnect the ruptured vessel and we can close. This would be a good time for my brother to be impressed.
Matt: Would it? I haven't seen anything I couldn't have done.
Patrick: Mm-hmm.
Leyla: What are the chances a man might get saved twice by the people he terrorized?
Matt: You had a run-in with this guy?
Leyla: All of us, at a masked ball. The guy went on a killing spree.
Matt: This vessel is too friable. Every time I try to get a stitch through, it just shreds.
Patrick: All right, we're going to have to do a complete bypass around the vessel.
Matt: Yeah.
Patrick: This isn't over yet.
Jax: Do we have any idea where the groom might be?
Coleman: No, I just tried calling. He's not answering his phone.
Father Coates: Yeah, I'm sure he just lost track of time.
Coleman: Yeah, or turned his heels towards the border.
Bobbie: Patrick wouldn't disappear without a word.
Coleman: Look, bachelorhood is a very serious addiction, Barbara Jean.
Epiphany: Lord knows I'm a patient woman, but I don't have it in me for any more drama out of those two.
Elizabeth: Robin and Patrick love each other. It'll all work out.
Sonny: I remember those first couple of years you worked for me. You used to ask questions all the time, not just about business but how to live in the world. You didn't understand how a person could say one thing and mean another.
Jason: It just seemed easier not to say anything, you know?
Sonny: It got to the point where you didn't -- you quit asking. But I knew when you were confused, because you would do certain things and I would sit you down and explain it to you, and you were a fast learner. I mean, I'd just tell you once. You got it cold.
Jason: I couldn't have had a better teacher.
Sonny: Somewhere I screwed up. I don't doubt your heart, Jason, and I know you think you're doing the right thing, but it -- I just don't know how we came to opposite sides, you know.
Jason: Sonny, I don't know. I have not turned -- not turned against you.
Sonny: You know what? Let's not even talk about it, because I shouldn't have even brought it up at Robin's wedding. It's just that sometimes you look back and you see how much time has gone by. Everything has changed. But you know, Robin's not a little girl grieving for Stone anymore. She's about to be a mother, about to marry the man she loves, and you're grown up, and you trust your judgment, and I got to say, look, if I didn't believe you were completely wrong on this, I might even be proud.
Jason: Let's put everything aside. I hope you know how grateful I am for what you've done for me, for when you and Robin were my family. I will never forget how much I owe you both.
Johnny: Some coffee.
Claudia: Thanks.
Johnny: Yeah.
Claudia: I'm wired enough as it is. What do you think is taking them so damn long?
Johnny: You're worried he's going to die or just hopeful?
Claudia: You'd be better off, John.
Johnny: Is that why you were going to let him die, huh? For my own good?
Claudia: Yeah, and for mine too.
Johnny: Because you'd do anything for me, right, Claudia?
Claudia: You know I would. Where's this going?
Johnny: Did you send this to Lulu?
Claudia: What?
Johnny: Don't lie to me, Claudia.
Claudia: No -- what are you talking -- why -- why would I send your stupid, crazy girlfriend a blackmail letter?
Johnny: To keep her crazy, make sure she stays locked up in Shadybrook? To make sure she stays just sick enough so I would stay away from her for my own good.
Claudia: Wasn't me.
Johnny: You're capable of it.
Claudia: Yeah, absolutely. Actually, I kind of wish I'd thought of it, but I didn't, because I've been a little distracted, Johnny, with the prospect of having to marry Sonny on Daddy's orders. I swear to God, Johnny, if he makes it through the surgery and I end up having to marry Sonny Corinthos, I might never forgive you.
Johnny: Admit it, Claudia. If I hadn't come in the room when I did, you would have called for help. You don't want our father to die.
Patrick: All right, he's stabilized. Let's clamp the vessels.
Matt: Yeah, you got it. Nice work.
Patrick: Well, half the battle is making the right decision when something goes wrong. That comes with years of experience. I know you don't know that yet.
Matt: Actually, I do. You want me to fall on my sword and admit it? Okay, you're a damn good surgeon.
Matt: Don't make me ever say it again. This vessel is also bulging over here on the right.
Patrick: Okay, clip it and clamp it.
Patrick: Right there.
Matt: Got it.
Patrick: Too much pressure?
Matt: Did you guys see that? His right leg just twitched. How is that possible for a patient who doesn't have any neural response in his legs or feet?
Robin: According to Heather, she said Patrick checked out over an hour and a half ago.
Mac: I'm sorry.
Anna: Well, where is he?
Robin: I don't know.
Maxie: Don't you think someone should make some sort of announcement?
Anna: You want me to take you out the side way? You don't need any more stress.
Maxie: Would you like me to say something to the guests?
Mac: Robin, you know, I had a bad feeling about this skirt-chasing jerk from the start.
Robin: Don't say that. The wedding is not canceled.
Spinelli: If I may be so bold, perhaps the pregnant one's hormones are surging and she's just created a euphoric sense of denial.
Robin: Would you guys mind leaving the room so I could have some privacy?
Mac: Sure. Come on.
Robin: Thank you. It's time for me to put on my dress.
Luke: How can Laura disappear? She can't walk or talk.
Doctor: She left with Scott Baldwin.
Luke: Baldwin.
Doctor: Lulu insists that Laura left with Mr. Baldwin. No one of staff saw them, but the sign-in sheet shows Mr. Baldwin was visiting Shadybrook at the time.
Tracy: This is your idea of security?
Doctor: We're doing the best we can.
Tracy: Well, the best is not good enough. It's unacceptable, in fact. If anything happens to my stepdaughter or her mother, you can rest assured you will be slapped with a lawsuit so large it will throw you immediately into chapter 11.
Doctor: Mrs. Spencer, this is a very big institution. There are a lot of patients --
Tracy: I don't care about --
Scott: Quiet, please. Berating the poor man will get us nowhere.
Doctor: Thank you, Mr. Spencer.
Tracy: Maybe we should call Nikolas.
Scott: No, we're going to L.A.
Tracy: Why would we go there?
Scott: Because that's where the snake took Laura.
Tracy: And you're basing this on what, exactly?
Luke: I know how his brain works. That's where they went on their honeymoon.
Scott: I lost my son, Laura.
Laura: So you thought it was okay to take my daughter?
Scott: Logan -- he was really in love with Lulu.
Laura: Love doesn't excuse everything, Scotty.
Scott: Well, I'm sticking to my deal. I'm not going to prosecute Lulu.
Laura: As long as I cooperate?
Scott: You said you would.
Laura: And you told me you were going to make me fall in love with you again. I wonder if Logan said that to Lulu.
Scott: Hey, let's just keep it about us. You know, when we were here the first time, and we were walking down Hollywood boulevard and we were looking at all the stars, and remember, we couldn't remember -- figure out who half of them even were. Well, I say we go back down there, and if we can't figure out this time, then we come back and we get on a computer, figure it out.
Laura: You sure I won't run away?
Scott: You said you wouldn't.
Laura: Well, you're right. I won't, because I probably can't outrun you yet.
Scott: Same old Laura.
Laura: Same old Scotty. You can't let go, and look, here we are again.
Scott: Yeah, well, I want you to have fun now.
Laura: And nice clothes and a nostalgic trip are -- they're great, but it's -- it's not going to win me back. I did love you once, but that was a very long time ago, and I -- I've grown up, and I've moved on, and you need to do the same.
Scott: There was a time when I was your hero.
Laura: I remember that time.
Scott: You know, when I first saw you at the hospital in your little candy striper outfit, you could have put me in the hospital. Nothing was ever the same again.
Laura: Well, you were pretty handsome yourself.
Scott: Thank you. But I carried that image of you all day. In fact, I carry it with me all the time. I think about you back then in that little outfit -- I -- it makes me happy, giddy.
Laura: Yeah, like you were when we were here.
Scott: What do you mean?
Laura: Oh, on our honeymoon, I remember you used to carry around our marriage certificate. It was like you couldn't believe it was real.
Scott: You mean this one?
Laura: You kept it?
Scott: Yeah, I know it's -- it's creepy, huh? It's just over the years, you know, I came across it, and I would just look -- look at it and remember what we were like back then. Yeah, this mess with Lulu started. Then I pulled it out again just to -- I know it's pathetic. Laura, I -- I did move on. I -- I loved other women, but I -- I've never given up on us, that we could love each other again, that you could love me again.
Jan 11, 2009 12:36
Luke: Well, this is a pretty swank piece of machinery.
Tracy: A little better than the last one.
Luke: It got the job done.
Tracy: We crashed.
Luke: We made an unscheduled emergency landing.
Tracy: All right, forget it. I just want to know why your intuition tells you that Scott took Laura to Los Angeles.
Luke: Because I know he's trying to get her back to a time and a place when they were happy together.
Tracy: What the hell am I doing?
Luke: What?
Tracy: I am joining you on the romantic rescue of your ex-wife.
Luke: And I can't tell you how I appreciate your generous spirit.
Tracy: I'm not generous, and I don't share, and you better tell Laura now that she's woken up that I am in fact married to you.
Matt: I saw it. His foot twitched.
Leyla: Is that possible?
Patrick: It couldn't have been. It was a misperception.
Matt: My eyes are working just fine, but thanks for the vote of confidence.
Patrick: Suction there. Place two cottonoids right there and moisten. Good. Suture.
Leyla: Is there any way to check his foot's reaction?
Patrick: When this surgery's over, I'm closing up, and I'm going to get married.
Edward: Oh, dear Lord, everybody run for the nearest exit before the gunfire starts.
Mike: Take it easy, Edward. Robin wanted him here.
Monica: Robin wants the groom here, and look how well that's turning out.
Mike: So Patrick's a little late. It's not the end of the world, Monica.
Edward: Tell that to Robin.
Robin: No, no, sit down. Hi, everyone. Thank you for being here. I have an announcement.
Edward: So do I. You're too good for that bum.
Robin: I would just like to ask you all to be patient and relax. Patrick will be here any moment, and the wedding will go on.
Nikolas: So we found a boat with Scott out in the Caribbean, but it was vacant and moored.
Lulu: We also found his daughter's number in Paris and we called her.
Lesley: I can't imagine Serena was receptive.
Lulu: She said she would try to reach Scott, but I think she just wanted to get off the phone.
Lucky: Yeah, and we didn't know where to look next.
Nikolas: We were hoping that you did. Laura lived with you when Scott first fell in love with her.
Lucky: More like obsessed with her.
Lesley: Honey, that's not fair. He was just a young man in love with a troubled girl. Laura would run away to dangerous places, and every time she needed rescue, Scotty was there.
Nikolas: But Scott wasn't exactly gracious when he lost her to Luke, right?
Lesley: That was a very painful and complicated situation, and everybody made mistakes. Scotty and Luke and Laura.
Lulu: Mom probably sent Scott mixed messages and he couldn't handle it when she dropped him.
Lucky: And Baldwin's been out for a vengeance ever since.
Lesley: I don't know about ever since. I know that he really loved Laura and he may still really love Laura, and you have to remember that there was a time when she genuinely loved him.
Luke: Look, I haven't had time to process this yet. I don't know what condition Laura's in or how long her recovery's going to last.
Tracy: Hmm. Translated to you plan on telling her nothing.
Luke: Well, I don't know how fragile she is.
Tracy: Well, why don't you ask Lulu? She saw her. She talked to her.
Luke: No. I have to do this thing quickly and quietly so Baldwin doesn't see me coming.
Tracy: Okay, Luke. Assuming your intuition is correct, and we find Laura with Scott, what then?
Luke: Well, we'll play that out when we get there.
Tracy: Luke, the last reunion you had with Laura ended in you having a faux remarriage with me standing on the sidelines, feeling like the other woman in my own marriage.
Luke: Sweetheart, you are second to none. I love you. I've told you that. I told you that in Mexico.
Tracy: That was good. Fueled by alcohol and the border Patrol.
Luke: Well, it's the truth. You are my wife.
Tracy: Until we land.
Luke: Laura is suffering from a disease.
Tracy: That is now in remission. So clearly, you have some thinking to do. Because once we rescue Laura from Scott, you're going to have to make a decision. It's either her or me.
Laura: You know my recovery may not last. It might just be a few days and I'd like to see my kids.
Scott: Look, you know what? We can do that. We can also get the best doctors that money can buy.
Laura: You keep saying "we."
Scott: I'm hoping that there's a "we."
Laura: You know, we tried to recapture our past once before. We were here, we were in L.A. and you rented a soundstage and we tried on costumes.
Scott: Yeah, yeah. It was a lot of fun, too. We were, you know, redoing all those great love scenes from the movies.
Laura: Yeah, trying to add our names to the list. But it didn't work.
Scott: It was the wrong time. I just -- I just want you to look at me, think of me what I was like when we first met.
Laura: Was it really all so perfect then?
Scott: Yeah. We were young. We were in love. It doesn't get any better than that.
Laura: I guess. And then Luke came along, and he overwhelmed me. He brought up feelings in me that I didn't even know I had, and I got confused. I betrayed you. I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. But I can't change the past.
Scott: Nobody's asking you to change the past. I just want you to look into the future. Give me another chance.
Robin: I know this isn't going exactly as planned, but it will. Eventually. All of you know me and Patrick, and you've seen us through our ups and downs, and many of you have given us much-needed advice. So I just -- I want to thank you for your support and remind you of what you already know, which is that Patrick and I love each other. And we always will. And yes, it may have taken us way too long to get to this point, but now that we're here, we're committed. And you may think I'm crazy, but there is not a doubt in my mind that he will walk through that door at any moment. So please just be patient. There will be a wedding today.
Edward: Hmm. Those are very beautiful words, my dear. But unfortunately, the missing groom can't hear them. So if nobody else has the decency to escort you out, I'll do it.
Mac: Edward, I'm the uncle of the bride. It's my responsibility. I'll do it.
Robin: I'm not leaving here with anyone but my husband.
Patrick: Robin.
Patrick: Hi.
Patrick: I'm so sorry. I had emergency surgery.
Robin: It's okay. I knew you'd be here.
Maxie: Hold on. No, no, no. There's plenty of time for that later. I planned a wedding. Everyone came to see a wedding, and a wedding is exactly what they're going to get. So you, back of the church. You, altar.
Robin: Well, isn't it a little late for that?
Mac: No way am I passing up the opportunity to walk you down the aisle. Everyone, sit down.
Robin: Okay, well, when you put it that way.
Maxie: Okay, let's get this started.
Father Coates: Glad you could join us.
Coleman: I never doubted you for a second, dude. Looking a-right there.
Patrick: Good.
Robin: Hello.
Matt: Hello.
Maxie: What are you doing here?
Matt: Patrick couldn't put on his tuxedo and drive at the same time. So I gave him a ride.
Robin: Well, thank you. Why don't you stay?
Matt: Looking like this?
Maxie: Like that?
Robin: Come on, most of these people work at the hospital and they wear scrubs all the time. Plus, you're Patrick's family, and you are an uncle to this child.
Nikolas: So assuming Scott didn't expect Mom to wake up, he probably didn't have a plan to get her out of Shadybrook, so was there someplace close that may have had some meaning to them?
Lesley: Okay. Let's see, nearby. Um -- oh, they had a really sweet little apartment when they were first married -- oh, never mind, never mind. No. Building got torn down years ago. Sorry. Um... oh, there's -- was -- there was a cabin that Scotty liked to take her to because she loved being out on that lake in a canoe.
Lucky: No, too obvious.
Lulu: Scott has to know that we are looking for them.
Nikolas: What about someplace further away from here?
Lesley: Um, okay. Further away. Well, uh, Laura ran off to New York once and Scotty went after her, but I don't think he would take her there.
Lulu: Why? Why not? I mean, it's really easy to hide there.
Lesley: Because it was a really bad time for her, and I don't think he would want to bring up those memories. He was always careful about her feelings.
Nikolas: Is there any place with happy memories?
Lesley: Uh, okay. Further away, happy memories. Yeah. Yeah. Los Angeles. It's where he took her on their honeymoon.
Scott: We had fun on our honeymoon. Lots of fun. A lot less traffic back then.
Laura: It was fun. I enjoyed every minute of it.
Scott: Well, let's get out there and have some more fun. Have some new memories.
Laura: Scotty.
Scott: Well, we do have to eat, don't we? You know, we could -- I'll tell you what we can do. We can go down the beach. We can go roller skating. Ah, it's roller blading now, isn't it? Hmm. Well, we can do -- what?
Laura: I was thinking about that fountain. Remember that? We took off our shoes and put our feet in the water.
Scott: You were always breaking the rules.
Laura: It was your idea.
Scott: No, no, I think it was your idea.
Laura: It was?
Scott: Yeah.
Laura: It was a good one, then, because my feet hurt.
Scott: Okay, okay. You know what I think we should do? I think we should go down to that fountain again and see what's going on. We'll do a little sight-seeing along the way, and -- why not?
Laura: You make it sound like it's a vacation.
Scott: Well, you know, it could be.
Laura: You stole me away from a mental institution.
Scott: Where you have been for way too long. Now it's Los Angeles. You've got great new clothes. You've got an ex-husband that wants to spoil you rotten. I say we get out there and we have some fun.
Tracy: Well, that toxic glow on the horizon means we're over Los Angeles. Where does the Spencer intuition tell you we should start in this big city?
Luke: The Truman hotel. Near Grauman's Chinese theater.
Tracy: Why in the world would we start there?
Luke: Because Laura told me that Baldwin took her to the movies there and then he slithered down the walk of fame with her. So it stands to reason that they would stay somewhere nearby.
Tracy: What are you not telling me?
Luke: Wife, would I keep anything from you?
[Beeping noise sounds]
Tracy: What is that?
Luke: Oh, that's my pocket. Sometimes it just -- there's something -- oh. Can't a man have a little privacy?
Tracy: Spencer intuition, my foot. This is Scott Baldwin's credit card information and the last charge is to the Truman hotel. You knew all along exactly where we were going.
Luke: Well, I didn't want my popsicle to have to exhaust herself searching.
Tracy: Oh, please.
Luke: On to stage two. How good is your Dutch, wife?
Nikolas: So a private jet left Port Charles less than two hours after Scott took Mom from Shadybrook. Two passengers, a man and a woman.
Lucky: Headed where?
Nikolas: Los Angeles.
Lulu: All right. All right, let's go.
Lucky: Oh, wait. You're still under medical care at Shadybrook.
Lulu: You really think that you're actually going to stop me from going?
Nikolas: Let's go bring Mom home.
Luke: Come on, wife. Don't be shy.
Tracy: It won't work.
Luke: It will work. Just follow my lead. And don't forget your Dutch accent.
Tracy: I look ridiculous.
Luke: Convincing. Come on. Come on.
Luke: [Speaking Dutch] Say hello.
Tracy: Auf wiedersehn.
Clerk: Isn't that goodbye?
Luke: Ja. In German. Please, we want to check in now.
Clerk: Certainly. How long will you be staying?
Luke: That depends on how long it takes, ja?
Tracy: Ja, ja.
Anna: I'm so proud of you. I can't wait to get in there and start crying.
Robin: Mama, don't do that.
Anna: I know. I love you so much.
Robin: I love you too, Mom.
Anna: You're the most beautiful bride I've ever seen.
Anna: Oh, okay.
Maxie: Your mom is so cool.
Maxie: Oh. How do I look? You look perfect.
Maxie: Okay.
Mac: Maxie. Nice job.
Maxie: Thanks.
Mac: Anna was right. You've never been more beautiful.
Robin: You look pretty handsome yourself.
Mac: Little Robin Scorpio. I look at you now, about to get married to the man you love, and so many memories come flooding back. Each one more precious than the last.
Robin: I know. It's crazy, right? Thank you for being there to walk me down the aisle today.
Mac: Ready to get married?
Robin: You ready to let go?
Mac: Never.
["Here Comes the Bride" plays]
Father Coates: Are we ready to begin?
Patrick: Yes.
Father Coates: Excellent. Dearly beloved, we have come together at long last in the presence of God to witness and bless the joining together of Patrick and Robin in holy matrimony. Into this holy union, Robin and Patrick now come to be joined. The union of husband and wife is intended for the mutual joy of both. And when it is God's will, for the procreation of children.
Robin: Patrick.
Father Coates: And their nurture in the knowledge and love of the Lord.
Robin: I think my water just broke.
Jan 11, 2009 12:38
Nikolas: The pilot said we'll be landing in L.A. soon.
Lucky: Did he mention where we might find Mom and Scott Baldwin?
[Nikolas sighs]
Lucky: Because L.A. is a big city.
Lulu: Grandma thought we could use some help. This is a scrapbook Mom kept during her first year of marriage to Scott. Maybe it will tell us where Scott took her.
Luke: [Dutch accent] Please, we want to check in now.
Luke: Oh -- that depend upon how long it take, ja?
Tracy: Ja. Ja.
[Phone rings]
Luke: I'm here on the personal request of your governor, case to consultment. Schwarzenegger and von Scheemerman are like this. So, I hope that his office has all the reservations?
Clerk: It's not a problem, Dr. Scheemerman. We can accommodate you.
Luke: [Speaking German] Arnold will be so smitten with you.
Clerk: Excuse me, Dr. Scheemerman.
Luke: [Correcting emphasis] Scheemerman.
Clerk: There seems to be a problem with your credit card.
Luke: Ja?
Clerk: The number has come up as the same account of another guest of the hotel. How's that possible?
Father Coates: The union of husband and wife is intended for the mutual joy of both, and when it is God's will, for the procreation of children.
Robin: Patrick?
Patrick: What? Are you sure?
Robin: I -- well -- I'm pretty sure.
[Robin groans]
Maxie: Just breathe, Robin. It's okay.
Kelly: Is this your first contraction?
Father Coates: Everybody stay calm. Is there a doctor in the house?
Kelly: This one's mine. Step back, Father. We have a baby coming.
[Indistinct chatter]
Robin: I am so sorry, everybody.
Anna: No, no, no, no. You just think about yourself and the baby. Don't you worry about anything.
Mac: I called 911.
Patrick: Are you okay?
Robin: We're having a baby.
Patrick: Yeah, we are. I love you.
Robin: I love you so much. Oh.
Kelly: Everybody out. There isn't going to be a wedding today.
Coleman: Yeah, folks. Due to the unexpected arrival of the rugrat, the ceremony is postponed. So it's time to hit the road, please. Thank you. Let's roll on. Let's roll on.
Mac: You, too, Coleman. You, too.
Coleman: No, I got it, Mac. I got it. Good luck, little mama. You too, dude.
Edward: Monica, don't you think you should help this little girl with her blessed event?
Monica: Well, unless Robin needs open heart surgery, I think Dr. Lee can cover it.
Spinelli: Maximista looks most distressed. Perhaps I should go to her and offer her solace and comfort?
Jason: Just be respectful to Robin.
Robin: Is there enough time to get to the hospital?
Kelly: I don't want to wait for an ambulance.
Patrick: Why? Is everything okay?
Kelly: Everything's fine. It's just to be on the safe side.
Mac: There's a limo outside.
Anna: Oh, perfect. Can I drive? I'll drive it, okay?
Patrick: Okay?
Robin: Oh, okay.
Patrick: Okay, come on.
Anna: Can you get up? There you go.
Claudia: Hey, Daddy. So, you made it through surgery, you old coot. The nurse thinks you're going to be okay. You know what's funny about that? I was really maybe even a little bit glad that you're going to live. It doesn't make any sense, because you've never been anything but hateful to me -- but I don't know. Not that being loved and adored by you is any better. Just ask Johnny. I mean, if anybody has any reason to want to let you die, it's John, but he went right for the phone. He saved your life. He says I would have done the same thing, but what scares me is that I think he might be right. I don't know. Maybe because we're your children, we're just hardwired to love you and to seek your approval in some way. So, maybe you lived because we're supposed to get a second chance, you know? Maybe we could start over, and I don't know, maybe we could be nice to each other -- kind, even.
Anthony: Domenica.
[Anthony chuckles]
Anthony: You came back.
Claudia: It's Claudia, Daddy -- your daughter.
Anthony: Claudia?
Claudia: You're in the hospital, but you're going to be okay.
Anthony: You little bitch. You wanted me to die.
Lucky: Mom doesn't even look old enough to be married.
Nikolas: She wasn't. I think that's part of the problem.
Lulu: "Scott and I decided to get married in the park near the fountain. It's one of our favorite places." Wow. I don't know. Mom looks so pretty, and it's weird. I mean, they look like they're in love.
Lucky: I'm sure Mom didn't know what she was getting into.
Lulu: I don't know. I just keep thinking about what Grandma said, how he was her best friend and her hero, her love.
Lucky: And now he is her kidnapper. So, you know what? Let's skip to the part where they go on their honeymoon, so we can figure out where Scott Baldwin is taking Mom.
Clerk: Dr. Von scheemerman --
Luke: Schee-mer-man.
Clerk: It's right here in our records. You have the exact same credit card number as another guest of the hotel.
Luke: Ja, ja. Well, that would be Scott Baldwin, I think. I'm not surprised that he is in the hotel here. [Indistinct] Baldwin and Scheemerman have in business together, but I sue him for all the stomeickel he is worth, and I kept then the custody of all the cards. Bell him. Tell him come down here now. Von Scheemerman and -- stucky von mein huft will get pay for him.
Clerk: I already called him. Mr. Baldwin isn't in his room, but I'm afraid I can't use this card until the matter has been cleared up.
Luke: Ja, it's okay. I keppen other cards.
Tracy: We'll use mine.
Luke: [Imitates German language]
Tracy: What?
Clerk: This card is issued to a Tracy Quartermaine.
Tracy: I know. Ouch.
Clerk: But you checked in as Frau von scheemerman.
Luke: Good, good. That was good.
Clerk: Perhaps you should explain what's going on here.
Laura: Do you even know where we're going?
Scott: Well, I'll know when we get there.
Laura: It's kind of amazing how well you can remember all of this.
Scott: It was our honeymoon. It was the best time of my life, until Spencer ran through our marriage like a runaway freight train. You know, I'm glad I didn't see it coming, because for the brief time that we were together, I really believed in love and that you and I, when we were together, we could face any kind of trouble. I want that back again, Laura, and I think we can get it back if you just let yourself go.
Lulu: "Day two. Scott and I spent the whole afternoon on Olivera Street. I've never seen anything like it, the bright colors and the people and the music." Wow, that's really cute. They bought his and hers sombreros.
Lucky: Lulu, the man is a psycho. He -- he threatened you. He kidnapped Mom. Baldwin, I think, is as far from cute as it gets.
Lulu: I -- I know. I know. It's just, you know. They seem kind of romantic. I just don't see how Mom could be this in love with him and then fall madly in love with Dad.
Lucky: I don't know, but she did.
Nikolas: I mean, I kind of get what she's saying. You know, you give your whole heart to someone, and you wonder what's left for anyone else.
Lulu: Do you think that she still has feelings for Scott?
Lucky: I don't know, but I'm sure she doesn't trust him. Sometimes your first love is just not that easy to forget.
Lulu: Look at this. Scott gave her a coin. They found a wishing well. "I wish we could be -- I wish that we could be this happy and this in love forever, but my throw was off, and I missed the wishing well."
[Nikolas laughs]
Nikolas: And the wish didn't come true, and no one lived happily ever after.
Laura: Oh, my gosh.
Scott: What do you remember?
Laura: I remember we spent pretty much the whole afternoon here at Olivera Street. I think that's the first time I ever tasted a margarita.
Scott: No, ixnay, you were underage.
[Laura laughs]
Laura: Oh. I -- I -- this is the wishing well, right? I remember --
Scott: Well, you saw it first, because I was -- I was loaded up with all those souvenirs for our parents back home, and it didn't help matters that I was wearing that silly hat.
Laura: That's right. We had his and hers sombreros.
Scott: Yes. Yes, we did, and they looked ridiculous, but it was your idea. You wanted to, and I would have done anything -- anything -- to make you happy.
Laura: We were coming from that way, though, that time, right?
Laura: Yeah, that's -- and I saw the wishing well first.
Scott: And you went to throw a coin in, and you missed.
Laura: Yeah, well. Never had good aim.
Scott: Why don't you say we try again?
[Siren]
Anna: Everybody okay back there?
Robin: Mom -- Mom, you can slow down a little bit.
Anna: No can do. I want my granddaughter born in a hospital, not in the back of a car.
Patrick: We need to get there fast, but we need to get there alive.
Anna: It's okay. I'm a highly trained professional.
[All scream]
Kelly: I need an ultrasound.
Epiphany: Take her to trauma two.
Kelly: Start an IV with -- oh, and get CBC cold count --
Robin: Kelly, get a fetal heart monitor.
Kelly: Okay, Doctor. It's already taken care of.
Patrick: Contractions are two minutes away.
Kelly: Prep her for delivery.
Mac: Hey, what's happening now?
Anna: Well, they're going to make sure the baby's born healthy. Nice work, by the way -- clearing the traffic for us.
Mac: You're not the only one with training.
Mac: Okay, okay. Now I can panic. You know what? I don't think I've ever been this scared in my life.
Anna: It's childbirth, Mac. It's been happening for millions of years.
Mac: Not to Robin.
Maxie: Hi, where's -- where's Robin?
Anna: They took her in there.
Maxie: Oh, can I see her?
Anna: No, no, no, no.
Mac: Maxie, Maxie. There's nothing you can do, okay? The doctors are going to make sure Robin and the baby are okay.
Robin: Oh, here comes another one.
Patrick: Okay, just breathe.
Kelly: You're good, you're good.
[Robin moans]
Elizabeth: Did you see that?
Kelly: Yeah. Where's my ultrasound?
Epiphany: On the way from maternity.
Patrick: Kelly, what's going on?
Kelly: The baby's heart rate dropped during your contraction.
Sam: Nadine.
Nadine: Hey.
Sam: Hey, do you have a minute?
Nadine: I just signed in. I was supposed to be at a wedding right now, but the bride went into labor, so --
Sam: Robin? Is she okay?
Nadine: Yeah, her ob was actually in the church at the time, so all her medical needs are taken care of. What can I help you with?
Sam: Okay, so I was busted on suspicion of smuggling drugs. Apparently there was a bunch of stolen pharmaceuticals in my apartment -- and don't you dare look at me like that, because I didn't do it. I was framed.
Nadine: Okay, that must have been terrifying. Did you convince the police that they weren't yours?
Sam: No, I didn't. I'm out on bail, and now I have to clear my own name. So, I was wondering if, you know, you have any clues -- anything at all that I can go on. Please, tell me you do.
Nadine: Oh, I meant to follow up with Dr. Hunter. I'm pretty sure he saw something.
Sam: Something? Like what?
Nadine: It's all kind of a jumble. It was the same day that I passed out at the clinic. So I don't remember much. You should probably check with him.
Anthony: You're a viper.
Claudia: Calm down. This is how you gave yourself an aneurysm.
Anthony: You could smother me right now.
Claudia: Well, if you think I'm going to risk a murder rap for you, you have another think coming.
Anthony: You stood and watched when I was helpless.
Johnny: How are you feeling?
Anthony: Your sister left me to die.
Johnny: No, Dad, that's wrong. Claudia and I worked together to save you.
Anthony: Don't protect her.
Johnny: I'm not protecting anybody. When I walked in, Claudia was on the floor trying to help you.
Anthony: The pain threw me to the floor. She did nothing.
Johnny: Your memory is a little faulty, which is understandable considering what you've been through.
Anthony: I know what happened. Claudia left me to die.
Johnny: No, Dad. I walked in the room only seconds after you hit the floor. Claudia was trying to help you, and I called 911. Hey, this is a private room. Family only.
Sonny: Looks like you might live, old man.
Claudia: My father is expected to make a full recovery, but he's going to need some peace and quiet in order for that to happen. So, I'm going to do my part. I will marry you, Sonny.
Nikolas: Okay, so we have Grauman's Chinese theatre, the Music Center, Olivera Street -- what else?
Lulu: Put down the Santa Monica pier.
Lucky: Well, except for the pier, everything's pretty Hollywood centered.
Lulu: Well, Baldwin has money. If he's trying to impress Mom, they're going to stay at a nice hotel.
Nikolas: Yeah, well. Then we'll just have to call around. We'll start with the five stars and work our way down.
Lucky: Yeah, well, let's just hope that he registered under his own name.
Nikolas: Well, if Mom went with him willingly, then Scott has no reason to hide, right? Unless, of course, she's relapsed. I mean, come on. He took her out of a place where she was under intense medical supervision. I just hope her condition doesn't deteriorate.
Lulu: I wish we knew where Dad was.
Nikolas: On the road and unreachable, I'm sure.
Lucky: Nikolas, don't start.
Lulu: He's just being honest. Dad's gone a lot.
Nikolas: All -- all I'm saying is that we're on our own with this.
Lulu: This album is the best lead that we have. Obviously, they had a very good honeymoon. She talks here about their apartment. He went to pcu to study law. They didn't have a lot of money, and she wanted to help. So --
[Lulu laughs]
Nikolas: What?
Lulu: "Luke Spencer hired me to work at the Campus Disco."
Nikolas: I'm sure she had no idea that was the beginning of the end, huh?
Tracy: You have my passport, my driver's license, and several credit cards. What more do you need to prove I'm Tracy Quartermaine?
Clerk: We owe it to our guests to maintain security. I'm sorry if that's inconvenient, but you did try to register under a false name.
Luke: There is a perfect rationale for this explanation. [Speaks German] Tell the man.
Tracy: This is Hollywood. I can't believe that I am the first guest to check in under an assumed name.
Clerk: Of course we have celebrity clients.
Luke: Then you understand the frau's need for discretion.
Tracy: My husband is a drunk and a liar and probably a bigamist. I seek consolation wherever I can find it.
Luke: Enter von Scheemerman. I have a fantas-ish understanding of women whose, uh, spouses cheat on them. It is -- [Speaks German] Mein specialty.
Tracy: I'll say. Charge the room. Give me my damn key.
Clerk: Right away, Madame.
Luke: [Normal voice] Well, wife, that was hardly subtle.
Tracy: Well, it worked, didn't it? Which is a lot more than I can say for you.
Luke: My work's just begun. So we know Scott Baldwin is here in the hotel. Now we find out if Laura's with him, and if not, where he took her.
Jan 11, 2009 12:39
Laura: Don't you want me to make a wish?
Scott: Well, since you've missed again, I'm going to add a wish to it. You see, when we were kids, anytime we did anything together we always accomplished it.
[Splash]
Laura: Now what?
Scott: We wait for our wishes to come true.
Laura: Scotty, it's not going to happen. I'm not going to fall in love with you again. I will always care about you because of what we were to each other, but I can't fall in love with you again, because my heart belongs to Luke.
Scott: Oh, you know what? Don't -- don't say his name and ruin my time right now.
Laura: Well, not saying his name isn't going to change how I feel. I married him. I had his kids. Then I married him again. He's my husband. I'm his wife, and my only wish is for him.
Scott: Listen, I'm going to tell you something, and you're probably not going to believe me, but Luke is married to Tracy Quartermaine now.
Kelly: You can see the pattern. The dips in the baby's heart rate during your contractions indicate the umbilical cord is being compromised.
Patrick: Shouldn't we just go straight for a C-section now?
Kelly: I'm going to try an amnioinfusion first. We're going to try and float the cord into a better position.
Spinelli: Maxie.
Maxie: Spinelli, oh, my God. I'm so glad you're here. Tell me everything's going to be okay.
Spinelli: I'm slightly confused. I mean, while the wedding disruption is slightly disappointing, I mean, impending birth is cause for celebration. Yes?
Maxie: Oh, of course. I know no one's really talking about it, but I'm just worried that Robin's baby might be born with HIV.
Mac: Yeah, no matter how many ways I say it, I can't help thinking of all the things that could possibly go wrong. I feel as if I'm living in denial.
Anna: Well, not me. I refuse to dwell on the bad until I absolutely have to.
Mac: I hate to break this to you, but that's the definition of denial.
Anna: Mac, every single staff member here is aware of Robin's HIV status, and they will take every precaution to make sure that there's no blood-on-blood contact with the baby, and she couldn't be in better hands. Just stop it.
Matt: Can someone please tell me where they put Dr. Scorpio?
Leyla: She's in trauma two, but there's no news yet. Aren't you supposed to be upstairs?
Matt: I switched with Santos.
Leyla: So you could be close to your niece when she's born.
Matt: Well, let's just say I'm an interested observer.
Tracy: Okay, so here we are in the hotel that you believe Scott brought Laura to. Got a plan?
Scott: Going to break into his room.
Tracy: Be my guest.
Scott: Are you bailing on me?
[Tracy laughs]
Tracy: If you need a chambermaid or a masseuse or a room service waiter, you're on your own. You want to call that bailing, fine. I call it self-preservation.
Scott: Okay, I'll do it myself. Just ring his room and hang up after the first ring if he comes back into the hotel. Can you do that for me?
Tracy: Yes, I can, but why would I? In fact, I think I should go home to Port Charles and leave you to rescue your damsel in distress all by your lonesome.
Laura: Up until now this has been a very nice little walk down memory lane, so don't ruin it with lies.
Scott: Laura, I'm not lying to you. This is the truth.
Laura: Tracy Quartermaine? Come on. That doesn't even make sense.
Scott: I know. It took everybody by surprise in the town. They've been married for years. One day Tracy and Luke went to Vegas. They got drunk, and they woke up married.
Laura: Drunk?
Scott: Well, it was really about money. He wanted some. She had it.
Scott: So while he was swearing his undying love to you, he was married to Tracy Quartermaine.
Laura: No, he would have told me that.
Scott: He didn't know how long your recovery time was going to be. You know Luke. If he can have his cake and eat it, too.
Laura: But we were married by a minister. There's --
Scott: It was an actor, and he was playing the part of a minister. Laura, listen. Pick up the phone, call anybody in Port Charles, and they will tell you that Tracy is Mrs. Luke Spencer.
Sonny: No way in hell am I going to marry you, Claudia. I mean, it's just not even --
Claudia: Why are you here then?
Sonny: Well, because he's sick, right, your dad? He needs to, you know, have somebody step in and run the family, and I want to do that for him.
Johnny: That's one hell of a sacrifice you're willing to make.
Sonny: As soon as your dad's medical condition leaks out, everybody is going to know that the organization is vulnerable. If I step in, the perception is much better.
Johnny: I can take care of my family just fine.
Sonny: No, you're not ready, Johnny, to run things.
Johnny: This is not the time or the place to have this conversation. And he is in no condition to talk business.
Anthony: I can speak for myself. You want the Zaccharas, you marry Claudia.
Sonny: No deal.
Johnny: Okay, there is no way in hell that I'm going to let her marry that.
Claudia: Okay, don't -- don't argue with Daddy, Johnny. He's not in any condition for this.
Johnny: Oh, you mean to tell me that you would go through with this? Sell yourself to Corinthos?
Claudia: I don't like it, but I understand why it needs to be done.
Anthony: Trust me. This is all for your benefit.
Sonny: Excuse me.
Nadine: How can I help you, Mr. Corinthos?
Sonny: Just -- I need to ask a question. Is Anthony Zacchara doing as well as he seems to be?
Nadine: He is expected to make a full recovery, but you'd have to talk to his doctor and his family for specifics.
Sonny: Yeah, yeah, of course. That's exactly what I'm going to do. Thank you.
Nadine: Mm-hmm.
Man: Mr. Karpov wants a meeting.
Sam: Hey, Matt, hi. Nadine said I should talk to you about the clinic fire.
Matt: I'm recovering nicely, yes. Thank you for asking.
Sam: Oh, look, I'm sorry. I'm glad that you're doing good. I was just -- is there anything that you remember at all before you passed out? Anything.
Matt: Anything?
Sam: Anything.
Matt: There was someone who was standing by me, a man.
Sam: Any detail please.
Matt: He was wearing a pair of distinctive-looking shoes. Nadine mentioned it was something that Jerry Jax might wear. I don't know. You know Nadine.
Maxie: Elizabeth, how is Robin? What's going on?
Elizabeth: There are some complications.
[Cell phone ringing]
Sam: Hello?
Jerry: Sweet Sam. We should meet up.
Sam: Okay, fine, just tell me where.
Elizabeth: Dr. Lee is concerned with the position of the baby's umbilical cord, so what we do now is try to reposition it.
Maxie: Well, what if you can't? Then what happens?
Anna: Hey, Maxie, shh.
Kelly: By pumping IV fluids into the uterine cavity, we can cushion the cord. That way when the contractions squeeze the cord, it will keep the baby's blood supply steady. What you can do, Patrick, is help Robin change positions frequently so we can float the cord into a better position.
Nikolas: Okay, thank you.
Lucky: Okay, so Scott is registered at the Truman hotel in Hollywood. I have a car waiting to take us there as soon as we land.
Nikolas: Great, so now we just got to figure out how to get her away from him.
Lulu: I have a feeling that Scott will do whatever Mom wants.
Lucky: Are you really buying into what Mom wrote in that memory book?
Lulu: All I'm saying is that Scott was not always a bad guy.
Lucky: You can't ignore what Baldwin has become.
Nikolas: Look, I -- I think she's right. At one point I'm sure they were very happy until Luke blew up their relationship.
Lulu: Look, Lucky, the memory book stops when Mom went to work for dad at the Campus Disco. It doesn't say anything else, but you know that she was attracted to Dad even though she was married to Scott, and things blew up. That's not Scott's fault.
Lucky: Are you really taking his side?
Nikolas: Look, it's --
Lulu: I am just saying not everyone's all good or all bad. It's a little more complicated than that.
Lucky: Whatever it was, it happened years ago.
Nikolas: Maybe so, but it's not over, okay? It's not over by a long shot.
Edward: Yes, dear, I'm sorry, but Luke and Tracy have been married for three years. Is there anything you need, something that I could help you with?
Laura: That's very kind of you, Edward. No, I'm going to be just fine, thank you, and thank you for your honesty. Good night.
Scott: Laura, I'm really, really sorry.
Laura: No, you're not. You're thrilled to death, aren't you? Now you have your proof that Luke isn't worthy of me.
Scott: I don't blame Luke for marrying Tracy. I blame him for letting you make a commitment to him when that wedding and those vows -- they were just a scam.
Laura: I want to go back to the hotel now.
Sam: Jerry?
Sonny: You're making a mistake.
Karpov: The mistake was yours, and you repaid my generosity by trying to shoot me.
Sonny: If you're going to shoot me and kill me, at least admit that you shot Kate. After that, I don't care what you do.
Kelly: I want an O.R. prepped and standing by. How long? Okay, notify me as soon as an O.R. comes available. Thanks. They're overbooked upstairs. I'm going to go try and clear a room just in case we need to do C-section. I'll be back, okay?
Robin: Okay. Hey, guess what?
Patrick: What?
Robin: Labor -- it really -- it really hurts.
Robin: Yeah, it -- you know, all the things that I thought could go wrong, a compromised umbilical cord wasn't one of them, but I just have to tell myself everything's okay, you're here, our baby's going to be okay.
Patrick: Yeah, we're going to be all right. We love each other, we love this baby, and we believe in our staff, okay?
Patrick: It's going to be okay.
Robin: Oh, oh, here comes another one.
Patrick: Okay, just breathe. Try and breathe.
Maxie: Robin looked so beautiful, and everything was perfect, just like I promised her it would be. She didn't even get to throw her bouquet.
Spinelli: The Jackal had intended to make a presentation after the wedding, but now seems as good a time as any. Happy Birthday.
Maxie: That's so sweet.
Spinelli: While Patrick and Robin's impending parenthood is cause for celebration, nothing should detract from the anniversary of Maximista's entry into this world.
Maxie: Oh, it's a journal. I'm not really good at writing in these things, but -- Spinelli, did you do all this yourself?
Spinelli: The Jackal was inspired by fair Maximista to trace the echo of beauty throughout the history of art and man.
Maxie: Inspired by me?
Spinelli: It has all my favorite artists -- Caravaggio, Botticelli. Cellini was their equal in the art of sculpture, and knowing that fair Maximista has a love for music, but not knowing whether or not she's experienced the romantic classics of Strauss, Vivaldi, Stravinsky --
Maxie: You really have to be a genius to know about all this stuff.
Spinelli: Well, I don't know about that, but they do say that every genius has a muse, and if so, if what you say is true, then I owe a huge debt to my inspiration. I mean, it was just my great desire to share my knowledge of beauty with she who honors me with her friendship.
Maxie: Thank you so much. You know exactly how to make me feel special.
Elizabeth: Okay, the baby is experiencing a deceleration in her heart rate every time Robin has a contraction.
Anna: Well, what do we do?
Mac: Can she do a C-section?
Elizabeth: There are risks with having a cesarean, and there's a chance the umbilical cord may be wrapped around her neck.
Anna: Oh, God.
Patrick: Okay, okay, okay.
Robin: Oh, oh! Aah!
Anna: Oh, God. I refuse to believe that all that Robin has been through in her life that something could happen to her baby.
Mac: If Robin ever needed our love and courage, now is the time.
Maxie: Sometimes I still feel Georgie. Do you think she can hear us?
Spinelli: The kind and gentle friend has a powerful spirit.
Maxie: I swear, Georgie, if you can hear me, please don't let anything bad happen to Robin and her baby. They need you looking out for them right now.
Robin: About the closet.
Patrick: You mean the nursery.
Robin: I know it's a closet. You know it's a closet. We have to get the kid out of there before she knows it's a closet. You know, once this is done, I think we should rethink our living arrangements.
Patrick: Whatever you want.
Robin: Maybe we can get one of those big Victorian houses across from -- here comes another one.
[Robin screams]
Elizabeth: The D cells are prolonged and the variability is minimal.
Kelly: She's in distress.
Sam: I don't know what you think your deal is --
Jason: What are you doing?
[Explosion]
Sonny: Just answer me, Karpov. Did you shoot Kate?
Karpov: You are in no position to make demands.
Sonny: You didn't shoot her, did you?
Karpov: What does it matter who shot the woman, hmm? She'll live, and you, you're about to die.
[Karpov grunts]
[Karpov speaking Russian]
[Alternative rock playing]
Singer: Everything I wanted everything I needed everything I trusted you're everything to me you're everything
Luke: Please, cut your old man some slack. I didn't want this to happen. You think that I expected this to happen?
Tracy: It's always just the luck of the draw with you. I don't blame you, but I also cannot stand by and idly watch my marriage disintegrate. I don't bow out gracefully. I'm not made that way.
Luke: Why bow out at all?
Tracy: You don't get it. This is not going to end well for us.
Scott: Laura, you need to work this out.
Laura: Yeah, I do. But you know, knowing the truth about Luke doesn't change how I feel about you.
Scott: Yeah, well, the proof is that I've always loved you. And all he's done is lie to you.
Singer: You're everything I wanted everything I needed everything I trusted you're everything to me
Jan 11, 2009 12:41
Tracy: She's obviously not in there against her will.
Cab driver: Can I help you, sir?
Luke: Yeah, CIA. Commandeering your vehicle.
Tracy: Luke, for once in your life, think about it. Someone could get killed, even you.
[Tires screech]
Patrick: Okay.
Elizabeth: The D cells are taking longer to return the baby's normal heart rate.
Kelly: Bring the secondary results of the infusion.
Robin: It's not working. The baby is in distress.
Patrick: Just let Kelly do her job.
Robin: I want a C-section.
Kelly: Because of the position of the placenta, I'll have to cut right through it to get the baby out. There will be a lot of blood exposure and risk to the baby if -- because it'll be difficult for me to see where I'm cutting.
Robin: Fine, just do whatever is best for the baby.
[Footsteps]
Sam: I don't know what you think your deal is.
Jason: What are you -- what are you doing?
Cab driver: Aren't they supposed to flash a badge or something before they just take your car?
Tracy: The government moves in very mysterious ways.
Cab driver: What if I never see my cab again?
Tracy: It's just a car. They'll buy you another one. It's not like you saw your spouse take off after your --
Lulu: Tracy?
Lucky: What happened?
Cab driver: Her husband is a CIA agent. He stole my cab and I am going to sue.
Lulu: CIA?
Tracy: Constantly irritating anybody.
Cab driver: He made that up, didn't he, about the CIA?
Nikolas: Come here. Look, I -- I apologize for any inconvenience we may have caused you. You'll be more than compensated for your time and trouble.
Cab driver: I always wanted to meet a spy.
Nikolas: Okay, look, I have an army of attorneys and limited patience. So I suggest that you accept my offer. Now, if you'll excuse us, we're trying to locate a woman who's been abducted. Thank you.
Cab driver: I knew it. You are CIA.
Lulu: Tracy, have you seen our mom?
Tracy: Yes, I have. She was in a car with Scott and she seemed fine.
Lucky: Okay, so Dad stole the guy's cab and he went after them.
Tracy: Yeah, like a bat out of hell.
Luke: Give it up, Baldwin. You're outmatched. You always have been.
Laura: This is crazy.
Scott: I just want a second chance with you.
Laura: Scotty, you can't make things like that happen.
Scott: Well, I think -- I think that -- that we're starting to reconnect here, Laura. I feel it. I think you were feeling it, too, until -- until Spencer showed up. There is -- there is no way that I'm going to let him steal you from me again.
Kelly: I recommend we wait a little longer, give the amnioinfusion time to work. That is my professional opinion. Of course, it's your decision.
Robin: What do you want to do?
Anna: You know, when Robin was a little girl and I used to tuck her in at night, she used to count her blessings. It was so cute. And she always included her doll in that, Cindy. Oh, my God, she loved this doll. She took it everywhere, talked to it and hugged it, played with it, kissed it. If she thought it was hurt or something, I used to, like, try to make repairs, you know, every time it got broken or just wear and tear. And then it came to this point where this doll was barely hanging on by a thread and I really thought that Robin had kind of outgrown her. So, one day, when I was tidying up, I -- I -- I took the doll out to the garage and I -- I just -- I just put it in the trash. And then a week later, Robin, she came down with strep throat and... she asked for the doll. She got really upset and she was sort of sobbing and asking for this doll and I -- I went out to the garage. I was searching through the trash and I was really looking for it and -- but it -- it was too late, you know. It had gone. Why are they taking so long?
Mac: Look -- look, I hate this, too, right, not knowing, not being able to help. We've got to give the doctors their space so they can help Robin, please.
Anna: That's my baby in there, too, you know.
Mac: I know.
Spinelli: The Jackal humbly offers the finest Venezuelan Arabic brew, though he fears the hospital vending machine greatly exaggerates the claim.
Mac: No thanks.
Anna: You're the sweetest man, Spinelli. I don't want any coffee. Thanks.
Maxie: No, no, no caffeine for you. We have enough going on tonight.
Mac: How's the baby?
Anna: How is she?
Kelly: The baby's in mild distress. We're monitoring the situation closely. Robin's scared --
Anna: Yeah, I need to see her. Can I take one of these guys?
Kelly: Yeah.
Patrick: Try to breathe. Try to breathe.
Robin: Mom, I'm really scared.
Anna: Shh.
[Robin sobs]
Jason: Sam. Hey, hey.
Sam: What happened?
Patrick: There was an explosion. It happened right when we came around the corner. You pulled a gun on me. Who did you think I was?
Sam: Oh, sorry. I got a call.
Jason: Okay, what -- Sam, what do you know about the explosion?
Sam: Jason, I know someone is trying to set me up. It was a trap. Someone's trying to kill me. Whoa, Jason, what are you doing? Come on, there could be another charge set in there.
Jason: First one was strong enough to take you out. I think I found part of the detonator.
Sam: Someone called the cops.
Jason: Let's get out of here.
[Carly gasps]
Carly: Sonny, come on. [Coughs] Stay with me, Sonny. Come on.
Nikolas: So Scott and Luke are now running amok on the freeways of Los Angeles with our mother caught in the middle of their insanity. Great. What were you thinking?
Lucky: You should've let us know the second our dad got in contact with you.
Tracy: He didn't get in contact with me. I hunted him down because I thought he could be of some assistance to your sister.
Lulu: You did this for me?
Tracy: There are those that believe that your father is one of the root causes of your trouble. I wanted to give him an opportunity to be a good -- a good parent to you.
Nikolas: But why didn't you tell Lulu the moment he got into Port Charles?
Tracy: Look, all I know is Luke was flying us back from Mexico on a stolen drug smuggler's plane --
Lulu: Wait, I'm sorry, whoa, whoa -- our dad knows how to fly?
Tracy: No, not really. The plane ran out of gas. We crash landed. And I just had enough money to get us back to Port Charles. We went to Shadybrook. You had escaped. And Scott took off with Laura.
Lucky: So how did you know that they were in Los Angeles?
Tracy: Oh, well, that's another story. Luke has been embezzling from Scott for months, charging all of his living expenses on Scott's credit card. So he, when he found out that Scott had taken Laura, looked up Scott's credit card charges, the most recent ones, and here we are.
Lulu: This obviously has nothing to do with me anymore. So why are you helping our dad find our mom?
Tracy: I don't know.
Scott: Come on, come on, come on. Give it up, Spencer. You know what's probably going on in his drunken addled brain right now is that he knows that you want to be with me.
Laura: You blackmailed me in to going with you.
Scott: Laura, come on. You know why I took you out of Shadybrook and brought you to Los Angeles. And you know what? You haven't put up much of a fight.
Laura: When I saw Luke -- you know, you -- you didn't even give me a chance to let him know that I'm all right.
Scott: Well, that's the point, is that it's -- it's the opposite. You are all right. You're safe. I'm going to give you the life that -- that you should have, the life that you deserve.
Laura: Don't do this. Please, don't do it.
Scott: Laura, you're thinking right now of how you want to get back with him. And you shouldn't be doing that. You should ask yourself why you're thinking that, that fool.
Laura: This is where you lose me every time, because I can't tell if this about you loving me or about you beating Luke.
Anna: Okay, it's gone now. There it goes.
Robin: The baby is getting weaker. What if she's suffocating inside of me?
Patrick: No, no, she's not. Our baby is fine.
Robin: Mom, look at the heart rate. Normal is 110 to 160.
Kelly: She's continuing to decel, but she still has variability.
Robin: How do you know what's happening to her?
Anna: Because she's been doing this for a long time, Robin, all right? Now, you don't think that if your baby was in immediate jeopardy, that Kelly wouldn't do something about it? Of course she would. You let her do her job. And you do your job. You're nearly a mom now. So you got to stay strong. You don't panic. And you send your baby lots of strength. And you've got Patrick here.
Patrick: Yeah, I'm right here.
Kelly: I'm going to have to ask you to leave now.
Anna: Okay. I'm right outside.
Robin: Mom... I love you.
Anna: I love you so much.
Robin: My mom's right. I have to give our little girl all of my strength.
Patrick: Yeah.
Robin: So I need you to promise me something.
Robin: I need you to promise that you will save her, no matter what happens to me.
Anna: They're both stable right now.
Maxie: Is the baby's cord still being pinched off by Robin's contractions?
Anna: Dr. Lee thinks this infusion is going to work. And then the cord will free itself and the baby will be out of danger.
Maxie: What if that doesn't happen?
Anna: It will.
Mac: Hey, come on. Let's just stay positive, okay? Robin is in good hands. Okay, you tried real hard not to show it, but you're more scared now than when you went in.
Anna: I just gave my daughter a pep talk about how mothers are supposed to stay strong. And I was for her. But the baby's heartbeat keeps dropping. And they think that under the circumstances, it would be too dangerous for Robin to have a C-section right now.
Mac: Hey, life has thrown more at Robin than any one person can take, okay? She's always gotten through it.
Anna: I know. She's resilient. But I -- I don't think she could deal with losing her baby.
Spinelli: The Jackal is reluctant to intrude on Maximista's private thoughts, but I seek guidance. I will go or stay as you wish.
Maxie: I just wish that I understood. How can there be so much beauty in the world and at the same time so much loss? What if Robin's baby dies?
Carly: Come on. Oh, come on, Sonny. Breathe. Breathe, damn it. Breathe.
[Sonny coughs]
Carly: Come on. Are you okay?
Sonny: Carly?
Carly: Oh, God. Thank God. Lay your head down. Just put your head down.
Sonny: I guess this means I'm still alive. I got to get out of here.
Carly: Damn. They stabbed you before they threw you in.
Sonny: How did you find me?
Carly: I came down here to meet Karpov. Lay down. Just lay down.
Sonny: About what?
Carly: Don't worry about it. You just need to rest and take care of yourself.
[Sonny groans]
Carly: Don't worry about it. I came around the corner right when they threw you in.
Sonny: You could have gotten yourself killed. Somebody could've heard you dive in after me. Let's go. Let's get out of here.
Carly: What the hell? Do you think I was going to you die?
Scott: Unbelievable.
Laura: What?
Scott: Spencer, you're going to get yourself killed.
Luke: Listen to me, you dirt bag. I don't know how you forced Laura to go along with you.
Laura: Luke.
Scott: Think again.
Laura: Luke. Luke.
Luke: Let me talk to --
Laura: Let me call him back. Come on. I can probably talk some sense into him.
Scott: He doesn't have the sense God gave a goose.
Laura: Scotty, please, just let me tell him that I'm okay.
Scott: I will, Laura. I will as soon as we get where we're going.
Laura: Do you even know where that is?
Scott: Once I shake him, we'll figure out our next move.
Scott's voice: This is Scott Baldwin. Leave a message.
Laura: How do you honestly think this is going to end?
Scott: Good. Happily ever after.
Laura: We can't keep running forever. You know, you can't erase the past. You can't undo my feelings for Luke just by telling me that he's married to Tracy.
Scott: Laura, you heard the truth. You heard it right from Edward.
Laura: I didn't expect his life to -- to stop at the Shadybrook door. I'm glad he moved on.
Scott: You're just trying to talk yourself --
Laura: Well, you know what? Things happen. Life happens. And you have to deal with it like an adult.
Scott: Well, Luke has another wife now. The question you might be asking yourself is how does Luke see this ending? The question you should ask yourself also is why do you care?
Sam: So, what I was saying was I -- I put the word out that I would captain ships into the harbor with no questions asked, for the right price, of course. And Karpov wound up hiring me. Jason, I am convinced that he and Jerry are running this whole counterfeit drug ring.
Jason: Well... you should go to the police. You're in way over your head, Sam.
Sam: Yes, I understand that, Jason. But the cops were getting nowhere and I was, like, this close to getting the proof that I needed. That's why Jerry framed me. He planted some of the stolen -- oh -- drugs in my apartment and he had me arrested. And now the only way I can clear my name is to get him busted. He asked me to meet him there tonight. I had to go.
Jason: But you knew it could be a trap.
Sam: Yeah, I did. That's why I brought my gun. And I'm sorry for pointing it at you.
Jason: What are you going to do about Jerry?
Sam: I don't know. Until now, he's been doing everything he can to work me. So the question is why would he go through all that trouble just to cut his losses and try and kill me?
Carly: God, it doesn't look good, Sonny. It's bleeding really bad. Doing?
Carly: I'm calling 911.
Sonny: No, no, no, listen. We got to get out of here. Karpov's people are going to come back.
Carly: Sonny, I can have help here in a matter of minutes.
Sonny: No cops. No hospitals.
Carly: You're in no condition to argue. Are you kidding me?
Sonny: Okay, here's the way it works. I don't like that you're involved, but you are.
Carly: All right. I know where to take you.
Sonny: Just help me up.
Carly: Come on. We got to get you up. You got to get up.
Carly: Careful.
Jan 11, 2009 12:42
Leyla: Hi.
Leyla: No news to report. I just have Robin's belongings. Normally, I'd label them and put them in a locker --
Anna: Oh, yes, yes, I'll take them.
Mac: Thank you.
Anna: I gave this to Robin to wear for the wedding. It's something old.
Mac: That was Georgie's.
Anna: Yeah. Maxie gave it to her to wear, something blue. They're supposed to bring her luck.
Mac: They still will.
Maxie: Speaking as someone who is practically a professional, you really stink at sneaking around.
Matt: I'm working.
Maxie: What's your patient's name? You know, you made such a big deal about how you could care less about Patrick even though he's your brother, and now you're walking around here acting like you don't even care about your niece, like you're not worried. Well, if that's the case, then stop eavesdropping on all of our conversations.
Spinelli: Perhaps Maximista is being a tad unfair vis-Ã -vis her --
Maxie: Why can't more guys be like Spinelli?
Matt: Unintelligible?
Maxie: A man who says what's on his mind. Now, if you can use your credentials and go into that room and find out some stuff for us and then fill us in, great. If you can't, stop hovering around. You're making me nervous.
Matt: I'll see what I can find out.
Patrick: Just try to breathe.
Robin: How's the baby?
Patrick: You're doing fine.
Elizabeth: The baby's heartbeat is not coming back up. It's in the 90's and the variability is almost absent.
Epiphany: This baby is not tolerating the labor.
Kelly: Okay, call anesthesia. And open the emergency c-section tray.
Patrick: You're okay. Very soon, we're going to have our little baby.
Lucky: Thanks. That was Mom's doctor. I told him that we tracked her down.
Tracy: Does he think this is going to trigger a relapse?
Lucky: That would work out well for you.
Lulu: Lucky.
Tracy: Lucky, I have no ill-will for your mother.
Lucky: The doctor couldn't say for sure.
Nikolas: That's because he doesn't know. No one does. Up until a few days ago, everyone thought Lulu just imagined Mom waking up.
Lucky: Yeah, but now that she has, it changes everything.
Tracy: Well, maybe not in the way that you think. Scott obviously told your mother that Luke and I are married, and maybe she's with Scott because that's how mad she is at Luke.
Lucky: Mom went with Scott to protect Lulu. That's all we know for sure.
Lulu: Wait, I mean we looked at their scrapbook, and we saw how in love they were. Isn't it possible that she still feels that for him?
Tracy: What your mother wants at this point is immaterial. This is about Scott and Luke. I'm sure they both love your mother. They hate each other more.
Scott: Right behind us again.
Laura: You know, eventually you're going to run out of gas. Why not just stop now?
Scott: Well, I should have. I should have years ago, and I thought I did. I had made peace with you and Luke.
Laura: Yeah, you told me. You told me you fell in love with someone else. You fell in love with Dominique and Lucy and --
Scott: I did. Gone now. Laura, listen. These days that I've spent with you now -- I'm falling in love with you all over again.
Laura: Scottie, we're different people now. For God's sake, I'm seriously ill. We don't even know how long I'll be awake this time.
Scott: I know. That's all the more reason why we got to keep going, because whatever time you've got, believe me, you don't want to spend it with that drunk behind us.
Sam: Thank you.
Jason: How sure are you of the connection between Karpov and Jerry?
Sam: Well, I've seen them meet more than once, and the last time I saw them, Karpov gave Jerry a PDA, and my plan was to work Jerry and get the PDA away from him, but no, he had to pull a switch on me, and he arranged for the cops to show up at my apartment, which is where they found the stolen drugs and of course, the PDA with absolutely nothing on it.
Jason: He set you up good.
Sam: But Jason, this -- this is not over.
Jason: Well, you have no evidence. You're facing jail time, and Jerry is clearly onto you. This is about as over as it gets.
Sam: Not quite. Jason, see, I've learned that you never underestimate the size of a male ego. All right, listen, even after I called him out in front of Alexis, even -- even after I called him out in front of the police, after I was arrested, Jerry -- he kept hanging around me. He sees me as his way to cut Karpov out of the picture. He actually thinks that I am desperate enough to take him up on his offer. But me, I think that this could be my chance to get the evidence that I need.
Jason: Okay, but if Jerry's onto you, that means his partner could be onto you, which means Karpov could be behind the explosion.
Sam: Yeah, but what? It's all guesswork right now. There's no way to be for sure.
Jason: Maybe there is.
Carly: No one's been here since Kate was shot. Come in.
[Sonny moans]
Sonny: All right.
Carly: You'll be staying --
Sonny: No, no.
Carly: At the hotel. Morgan -- come here.
Sonny: No, I'm fine.
Carly: Morgan's there with Mercedes, so no one's here. Sit down.
Sonny: Ow!
Carly: Come on.
Sonny: Ah. Okay.
Carly: It's going to be warm in here in a second.
Sonny: Good, because it's freezing. Karpov was too busy congratulating himself he didn't look where he was -- look, I think it's not --
Carly: Oh, my God.
Sonny: It's not that deep. No, the -- I think my ribs turned the knife.
Carly: No, you should see a doctor, Sonny.
Sonny: No, no, Karpov thinks I'm dead. I need him to think that. That way I can make my next move.
Carly: What are you talking about, your next move? You can't even walk. You almost died.
Sonny: He stabbed me, left me to die. He hit me. I'm going to hit him back. I mean, that's what I do, right?
Carly: You're going to hit him back, and then he's going to hit you back, and you guys are just going to keep going back and forth until you really do wind up dead, so basically, saving your life has been just one big waste of time.
Sonny: Ow! What the hell were you meeting with Karpov for? What are you doing?
Carly: We're not strangers. We had a mild flirtation over the summer.
Sonny: What? Flirtation -- what the hell was that about?
Carly: Well, I thought you were working a deal with Karpov behind Jason's back, so you know, I went to help Jason. Tonight I thought I could work Karpov and find out if he was really behind Kate's shooting.
Sonny: Okay, that's my job, not yours, okay? Don't get involved. Out of all the crazy, stupid things that you've done --
Carly: You know what, Sonny? I thought -- I thought that if I could prove that Karpov didn't shoot Kate, then you wouldn't continue to go after him and you wouldn't wind up in the middle of a war, but obviously I was too late.
Sonny: Okay, listen to me. There's no way for me to avoid a fight with Karpov, even though right now I -- I might believe that he didn't shoot Kate. After what he just did, he's done, and you shouldn't be the target.
Carly: I wouldn't be complaining, because if I didn't go down there tonight, you'd be dead.
Sonny: Hey.
Sam: Hey, why did you happen to be in the alley tonight?
Jason: I just went for a walk to get some fresh air. You know, I was at -- I was at Robin's wedding, and she went into labor at the altar, and they had to rush her to the E.R.
Sam: Yeah, I heard about that. I think that's a pretty dramatic entrance for a kid to make. Hey, did she have a boy or a girl?
Jason: She's having a girl. There were complications. When I left they were deciding whether or not to do an emergency C-section.
Sam: Wow. That must have been intense for you.
Jason: [Whispering] Jerry.
Jason: Whatever it is, make it fast.
Jerry: Well, I'm here to raise a rather indelicate subject, the former love of your life, Sam McCall.
Elizabeth: Okay, she's ready.
Robin: I didn't feel anything.
Doctor: Baby's heartbeat is down in the 60'S.
Robin: Oh, God.
Patrick: Just look at me. Look me in the eyes. Hey, right here. It's okay.
Kelly: Let's go. We got to get this baby out now.
Matt: Where is O'Donnell? He's the best neonatal care guy that we have.
Epiphany: Dr. Lee is prepared for any contingency.
Matt: What --
Maxie: Why didn't they do the C-section on Robin as soon as she got to the hospital? Why did they wait until it was some kind of dangerous surgery that could kill her or the baby or both? Somebody screwed up here.
Epiphany: Dr. Lee is making the best medical decisions under the circumstances.
Maxie: Yeah, I'm sure the malpractice attorneys hear that one all the time.
Matt: Okay, Epiphany, I -- I got this one. You don't mean any of this.
Maxie: If anything happens to Robin or that baby --
Matt: I think you're upset and you're scared and you're looking for somewhere to put it.
Maxie: Epiphany, I'm sorry. I was way out of line with you, and with you, too. That baby is your niece.
Matt: She's going to be fine. You just have to keep telling yourself that.
Kelly: Knife. Just what I was afraid of. Her placenta's right there.
Kelly: I'll have to cut through it.
Doctor: Robin's B.P. is dropping.
Kelly: Suction. There's so much of it, I can't see. She's hemorrhaging.
Patrick: It's okay. Hey, hey, hey, hey, stay -- Robin, stay with me. Hey, look at me. Robin, look at me. Hey, hey, hey, look at me. Come on.
Laura: Whoa, will you watch out? You can't even see where you're going.
Scott: Yeah, I can. I can see fine.
Luke: Slow down, you idiot.
Scott: He can't keep up. I'm going to shake him right now.
[Crash]
Elizabeth: Robin's stabilized.
Robin: The baby?
Patrick: Yeah, just relax. She's just about here. You're doing great. You're doing great.
Kelly: Pressure.
Elizabeth: Robin, you're doing a great job. Hang on, we're almost there.
Kelly: Okay, we're there. There's the umbilical cord around the baby's neck.
Patrick: It's okay.
Kelly: I'm taking it off. Okay, I got her.
Robin: What's wrong? Why isn't she breathing?
Patrick: Robin, she's okay. She's going to be fine.
Robin: She's not breathing.
Patrick: Yes, she's going to be fine.
Robin: She can't die.
Patrick: She's not going to die. Hey, she's not going to die. Robin.
Robin: I'm so scared.
Patrick: She's okay.
Jerry: Sweet Sam has run afoul of your adversary, Andrei Karpov.
Jason: And you know this how?
Jerry: Well, I'm in a position to hear things, and I hear that Sam is working for Karpov and she's appropriated his cargo by herself, and that part could be verified. The police arrested her with the contraband in her apartment.
Jason: Why are you telling me?
Jerry: Because you and Karpov have a truce. When Sam finds out that Karpov is gunning for her, she'll come to you for help. I mean, you're a pragmatic man, Jason, a quality sorely lacking your predecessor. I can't imagine that you'd risk to break the peace you've worked so hard to achieve for a castoff girlfriend.
Carly: Okay, well, you know what? I don't think -- take this -- I don't think a butterfly bandage and a few pills are what you need, but that's all I have to offer right now.
Sonny: Okay, I just need to rest. You should go.
Carly: Are you serious? I'm not leaving.
Sonny: Okay, you don't want to -- you don't want to be, you know, in this any further than you already are.
Carly: I didn't save you from drowning so you can turn around and bleed to death, Sonny. Come on.
Sonny: Now is not the -- don't touch it. Now is not the time to be stubborn.
Carly: Well, you know what? Now is not the time that you're going to get your way, 'cause I'm staying.
Sonny: Don't turn this into a contest, okay, and making it about you.
Carly: I'm not making it about me, okay?
Sonny: Well, this -- this is -- we have to think about Morgan. The whole idea is to keep him safe, right, so don't get involved.
[Dogs barking]
[Thud]
Lucky: Excuse me, ma'am. I'm a police officer. Can you open that room for me please?
Maid: Oh.
Lucky: Thank you.
Man: Can I see that badge, please?
Lucky: And you are?
Man: Detective Landry. I'm with the hotel.
Lucky: Just an officer.
Landry: You're way out of your jurisdiction, Officer.
Lucky: Well, the guest happens to be a resident of Port Charles, and I just, you know --
Landry: We're in the state of California.
Lucky: I just need to take a quick look.
Landry: We have rules here, too. Come on, let's go.
Lucky: Fine.
Lulu: So now what?
Nikolas: We'll be fine. Lucky can take care of himself.
Lulu: But we don't know where Scott took mom. How are we going to get in his room and look for clues?
Nikolas: I think I might know what to do.
Luke: Laura!
Luke: Laura.
Luke: Are you hurt?
Laura: I -- I don't think so.
Luke: Okay, sit very still. I'll get you out.
[Laura screams]
Jan 11, 2009 12:44
Kelly: There's the umbilical cord around the baby's neck.
Kelly: Taking it off. Okay, I got her.
Patrick: No, no, she's okay.
Patrick: She's not going to die. Hey, she's not going to die. Robin --
[Baby cries]
Patrick: See? There she is.
[Baby crying]
Kelly: Congratulations, Robin. You have a healthy baby girl.
Robin: She's beautiful.
Patrick: Yeah, she is. She's perfect. There's our little girl.
Jason: Why do you care about keeping the peace in my territory?
Jerry: I simply came to warn you. Sam's in trouble with Karpov, and she may very well attempt to seek your help.
Jason: That is an excuse. Why are you really here?
Sonny: I don't want anyone to see me here.
Carly: Okay, come on. We'll get you out of here. Be careful.
Sonny: Is there any blood on the couch?
Carly: No, I think we're good. Okay, take it easy, all right?
Sonny: Yeah, I'm walking as fast as I -- ow!
Carly: Are you okay?
Sonny: Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. I'll survive, just go. Go, go, go.
Carly: Are you sure?
Sonny: Yes.
[Knock at door]
Jax: Hey.
Carly: Hey.
Jax: Hi.
Laura: Uh -- uh, Luke.
Luke: What the hell is this idiot doing taking these bends at 60 miles an hour?
Laura: I'm scared. I'm scared.
Luke: I'll get you out.
Laura: No, don't do that.
Luke: Here, here!
Elizabeth: Okay, everyone, Robin and Patrick had a beautiful baby girl. And they are doing very well, so Dr. Lee said you can go on in and see them, but family only.
Spinelli: Send my warmest regards to the nascent parental units, okay?
Maxie: Okay, thanks, Spinelli. Matt? She said family, that means you, too.
Matt: I don't want to push it.
Anna: She looks just like you. Oh, Robin, she looks like you.
Patrick: She kind of looks like me.
Mac: Okay, well, you two, it's time to name that beautiful little baby. Have you decided?
Patrick: Yes, we have. We have decided on Millicent.
Anna: Oh, shut up.
Patrick: I'm just kidding. Why don't you do the honors?
Robin: Everyone, I would like to introduce to you Emma Grace Scorpio Drake.
Anna: Oh, that's so perfect. Little Emma.
Robin: Ready to hold your little girl?
Robin: Yeah?
Anna: Mind the head. Get the head. Careful, careful, careful.
Robin: There you go.
Patrick: Hi, Emma. I'm your dad.
Anna: Maybe she does look a little like him.
Robin: What? What is it?
Patrick: It's nothing. There's just a little nick on her ear.
Robin: Do you think she's going to be exposed to HIV?
Jerry: My reasons are purely self-serving as always. You see, I have a vested business interest in this town, and those interests might suffer if violence erupts between you and Karpov.
Jason: Well, then talk to Karpov.
Jerry: No, no, the difficulty is Sam, you see, working for Karpov and appropriating his cargo.
Jason: That's his business, not mine.
Jerry: Well, if you make the mistake of assisting your former girlfriend, you know, you might provoke some hostilities.
Jason: See, I think that you're working with Karpov. And you came over here because you're worried he's going to drag you into a war with me. And if he does, I will make sure that you die first, Mr. Craig.
Jerry: You know, there's a certain satisfaction in dealing with someone who is utterly predictable.
Sam: Thanks for covering.
Jason: This is only going to get worse.
Sam: Yeah, Jason, I'll handle it. You don't need trouble because of me.
Jax: I saw the light on. What are you doing here?
Carly: Um, just checking on the house.
Jax: You're not considering moving back in here, are you? I mean, it's a lot safer at the hotel.
Carly: I know, I agree with you. I just wanted to come by and check on the house and grab some clothes and just straighten up a bit.
Jax: Aren't you going to ask me why I'm here?
Carly: I guess you're checking up on me.
Jax: No, no. I just got done with a meeting. I was driving by and I found myself thinking of you. It's something I do a lot more than I care to admit. I drove by the park, and I remembered the picnic that we had there last spring, the one that you insisted on making yourself.
Carly: Fried chicken. Crispy on the outside, raw on the inside.
Jax: Yeah, that one, yeah. It's a good thing the vendor at the carousel had popcorn and candy.
Carly: You loved every minute of that.
Jax: I did. I did. You know, with all my talk of divorce, I miss you.
Laura: Oh, Luke, we're going to go over.
Luke: No, we're not. I won't let you.
Laura: Here, pull Scotty out. I'll crawl out this side.
Luke: How about I pull you out and toss him over the cliff?
Laura: Come on, Luke. Here.
Luke: You just undo your seatbelt and come over top of him very, very slowly, okay?
Laura: It's stuck.
Mac: I think little Emma will be just fine, don't you?
Anna: Yeah. So this shot is supposed to counteract any exposure to Robin's blood, right? And it's meant to be very effective. And besides, Robin's viral load is so low, it's virtually undetectable. I don't know about you, but I'm scared.
Mac: You know, I remember when Robin told me Stone had HIV and she'd been exposed. It's like their whole world had bottomed out -- and mine. I never thought I could be this scared.
Maxie: This is so completely unfair.
Spinelli: It is a most grave, grave injustice indeed.
Maxie: First, Robin falls madly in love with Stone and then he dies of aids. Then she gets HIV and has to pick up the pieces of her life. Then she decides she wants to have a baby more than anything, so she does. And now, the baby might be HIV-positive. I mean, what's next?
Spinelli: You must remain hopeful.
Maxie: Spinelli, you don't get it. Robin's a really good person. She's smarter and kinder and braver than I'll ever be.
Spinelli: Oh, come on. Now you're doing yourself an injustice.
Maxie: Why can't Patrick and Robin just get married and have their baby and live happily ever after? And what about me? I want to be an aunt.
Spinelli: And a most fine one you will make.
Maxie: I bought this really stylish snuggly the other day. I can't wait to put Emma in it -- or have Robin put Emma in it because I don't really know how to hold a baby. I thought I would put her in this little sun hat and we could go window shopping on Main Street because I'm going to teach her to be fashionable right from the start. And then at night, I'm definitely going to tell her stories about her Aunt Georgie. I mean, that's all the stuff I dream about doing anyway.
Spinelli: Which will all most likely become a reality.
Maxie: Unless it doesn't. Spinelli, I'm just really scared.
Robin: Hey.
Robin: How's Emma?
Patrick: Top of her class. She scored a nine on her Apgar test. Her reflexes are excellent. She's strong, pink -- she's basically perfect.
Robin: Okay, but did she take her AZT shot?
Patrick: They're giving it to her right now. Epiphany is going to bring her back in a couple of minutes.
Robin: Why are you being so calm? Emma could have been exposed.
Patrick: Well, Kelly is testing her blood right now. We will know tonight one way or another.
Robin: You know, I always knew it could be a risk, but I never thought it would actually happen. And now that it's a possibility, it's --
[Robin exhales]
Patrick: Robin, I don't think she's infected.
Robin: Yeah, but what if she is? What if she is?
Patrick: Then we'll deal with it as a family.
Robin: Right, but every single day she's going to be burdened with the stigma and the prejudice and the protocol. I mean, you know, I'm an adult. I can deal with that, but for a little girl?
Patrick: You're going to be a great mother no matter what happens.
Robin: Can you believe that you have a little girl? I mean, you didn't even want kids.
Patrick: Yeah, but when I saw that little heart beating, and her curled up in your stomach -- gosh, now that she's here, I love her more than I ever thought possible.
Robin: I know. Me, too. It just breaks my heart to think that she might suffer because of me.
Patrick: Hey --
Epiphany: Look who's here to see Mommy and Daddy.
Nikolas: Excuse me. Excuse me, Miss. I just locked myself out of my room. I was in a hurry to go have dinner with my friends, and now I'm just kind of standing here like a fool. Could you, maybe -
Maid: I can't let you in. It's against the rules.
Nikolas: Right, I understand that, but could you bend the rules maybe just this once? I think that I may have left the water on in the sink in there.
Maid: I'm sorry, Sir, but you'll have to get another key card at the front desk.
Nikolas: It's really urgent that I turn that off.
Lulu: Can I help you, Sir?
Nikolas: How did you manage that?
Lulu: Because I know how to scam, unlike you and that lame-o story. Left the water running in the sink?
Nikolas: Give your big brother a little respect, will you? However incompetent he may be.
Lulu: Okay, so we're in here, now what?
Nikolas: Right, well, assuming Scott was able to evade Luke, we need to figure out where he may have taken mom next.
Laura: We gotta get out of here.
Luke: Undo his seatbelt.
Laura: This?
Luke: Yeah.
Laura: There. He's free.
Luke: Now very carefully, try to wiggle out of yours. I'm getting him out of --
Laura: Luke!
Jax: Perhaps it's a bit arrogant for me to show up like this and expect you to listen, so --
Carly: No, I'm glad that you came by.
Jax: No, I mean, there are good reasons for our marriage to be over and, you know, I --
Carly: I love you. I love you.
Jax: And no one in my life has ever made me as happy as you. I've been miserable since we've been apart.
Carly: So have I.
Jax: These pictures represent our life together. You seem to think that we can get that life back, get each other back?
Carly: This, um, this visit is really a big surprise for me.
Jax: Well, if you feel like too much damage has been done and you want to move on, I --
Carly: No, no, see, I don't want this divorce. I never wanted this divorce. And if we can -- if we can get back together, Jax, that would make me so happy. You have no idea.
Jax: What? I want that, too. There's one real obstacle.
Carly: I know. It's me, okay? I'm really good at destroying everything because I have a problem with trusting people, but you have proved to me over and over again that I can trust you and I know that I can.
Jax: Yeah, and I want to trust you in the same way. That's why I have to know, if it came down to me and Sonny, who would you pick?
Epiphany: Baby Emma had her first shot today.
Patrick: How'd she do?
Epiphany: She let out a healthy cry. She's got quite a set of lungs on her, don't you, sweetheart?
Robin: Thank you for staying with her, Epiphany.
Epiphany: Oh, it's my pleasure. This little girl has won all the hearts of every single doctor, nurse, and technician in the maternity ward. It is time for her first bottle.
Patrick: You want to do the honors?
Epiphany: Now, don't be worried if she doesn't finish it all.
Epiphany: I'm going to give you a little time before I let the rest of the family in.
Patrick: Thanks.
Patrick: Hey, sweetheart. You hungry?
Robin: She looks so tiny in your arms.
Patrick: I wonder how tall she's going to be?
Robin: Hopefully taller than me.
Patrick: Okay, you ready?
Robin: Yes. Hi. You know what? You are a miracle.
Patrick: Yes, she is.
Robin: I just -- I can't even believe it. This little, precious bean with 10 fingers and 10 toes is our little baby. It's our child. It's crazy.
Patrick: Everything is different.
Robin: You know what? Before, the world was in black and white, and now it's in color. Just feed her in a little while, she's still sleeping.
Patrick: I can tell you're a natural.
Robin: Well, either that or Emma's just a really good baby.
Patrick: Don't speak too soon. She's got strong personalities on both sides of the family.
Robin: Very true. Wow, look at her. Emma, if I made you sick, I am so sorry. Maybe you should take her.
Patrick: No, I want you to hold her. I have to tell her something. Emma? I went through something like you went through not too long ago. I was scared and I was terrified and I was falling apart. But do you know who -- do you know who helped me through all that? Your mommy. She's the strongest person I know. She's been living with HIV for over 10 years now, and she's showed me what it's like to be brave and to be hopeful. And she's going to do the same thing for you no matter what happens. Aren't you?
Robin: Well, you know, I'm not really the pillar of strength that your dad thinks I am. Sometimes I falter and fail, just like I did right now. But now, you are my inspiration. And I have your dad to remind me what an amazing gift life is. So as your parents, we promise you that no matter what happens, we're going to give you a life full of joy and courage and gratitude for every single moment that we have together.
Sam: Can I please see the pieces of the detonator they found in the alley?
Jason: I can have Spinelli take a look at this, okay? I can see if this detonator matched any of the ones used in the Metro Court explosions.
Sam: Jason, I still think Karpov is the one who set the ambush. I just don't get that Jerry would work so hard to try and play me. It doesn't make any sense that he would try and kill me after that.
Jason: Well, if he's smuggling drugs with Karpov --
Sam: He is, and he's involved a lot more than I realized.
Jason: How do you know?
Sam: Well, okay, you know Nadine, the nurse, and Matt Hunter, they almost died in that clinic fire. Well, matt, he remembers seeing the shoes of the guy that set the fire and Nadine remembers the same exact shoes on Jerry.
Jason: Okay, why would Jerry want to burn down the clinic?
Sam: Okay, it's where the four of us used to meet. Nikolas, Nadine, Lucky and myself, we would meet there. We would go over our clues. We were always getting a little bit closer, and Jerry knew and he wanted to stop us. But just because he set the fire in the clinic, does not mean he was behind the explosion in the alley.
Jason: Well, if you give me that piece, I'll have Spinelli take a look at it in the morning.
Sam: No, absolutely not. I will handle it. This is my deal, Jason --
Jason: Who do you have for backup? Lucky's out of town. You should just stay out of this, Sam.
Sam: You know better than to try and stop me.
Jan 11, 2009 12:45
Carly: Between you and Sonny, there's -- I'd choose you every time, but there's no choice. Sonny is a part of my past. He's the father of my children. You are my husband and I love you and I want us to be together again so bad.
Jax: Yes, but how do we do that?
Carly: We can -- we can go to dinner tomorrow night.
Jax: Tomorrow night?
Carly: Yeah.
Jax: No time like the present.
Carly: Wait, wait, wait. Where are you going?
Jax: There's frozen pizza and champagne in the kitchen.
Carly: Wait.
Jax: What?
Carly: It's just such a great idea, but it's a really bad time.
Jax: What do you mean, "bad time"? Come on, Carly.
Carly: I -- you know, I just really want to get out of here and I had a big dinner and I'm not really hungry right now.
Jax: Well, how about you come back to the hotel with me, huh? We'll have a drink. Just -- we'll have one drink?
Carly: God, I would love to. I just really need to be by myself right now.
Jax: Okay, okay. I'll see you tomorrow night, then.
Carly: Oh, I'm so glad that you're rethinking this.
Jax: I'm not making any guarantees.
Carly: I know, I know. It's just the possibilities -- everything.
Jax: Okay.
Carly: Okay. Wait. Good night.
Jax: Good night.
Carly: Hey, come here. Let me see. Oh, God, you're bleeding worse. Let's just get you to the couch.
Sonny: You should have just gone with Jax.
Carly: Yeah, then if he finds out that you were here --
Carly: I'll lose him forever.
Laura: Oh, hurry, Luke.
Luke: I'm going to try and get that seat belt off of you, all right? Easy, easy.
Patrick: Hey.
Anna: Can I see my granddaughter?
Robin: Yes, of course.
Anna: Oh, look. I'm not even looking at you.
Robin: It's okay.
Anna: Hello. Hi. I'm your grandma. I'm awfully young, though.
Robin: Goodness. Would you like to hold her?
Anna: Yes. Let's have her.
[Emma coos]
Robin: I am so thirsty. Would you get me some water, please?
Patrick: Of course.
Patrick: Do you want anything?
Anna: No, I'm good. Thank you. Hello. Oh, she's so cute.
Robin: I know. I mean, we're a bit prejudice, but --
Anna: You think?
Robin: I agree.
Anna: Hello. I do, I love you so much. Oh, Emma, we're going to have so much fun together. We're going to be great friends. Now, I have to tell you, I have lived quite a life. And I want you to know, as you are growing up that should you ever want to tell me anything, especially stuff you don't want to tell your parents --
Anna: It's totally fine by me. I won't be shocked.
Robin: Don't go putting ideas into her head.
Anna: I'm going to put lots of ideas in her head -- only good ones, though, like I did with your mom. She's yawning. Oh, she's going to be the best mother to you ever.
Robin: Well, I don't know about that. I already had my first meltdown. The nick on her ear, the possibility that she could have been exposed.
Anna: You seem to be coping. You were absolutely glowing when I came in the room.
Robin: Yeah, well, falling apart isn't an option.
Anna: No.
Robin: But I told her -- I told Emma that everything will be fine no matter what, and then somehow I believed it myself. But, Mom, how do I stay that way? How do I -- how do I stay not scared?
Anna: Robin, you know, whether she tests positive or not, you have no control over that, but there's one thing I can promise you. You're going to worry about her for the rest of your life. You know, the first time she falls over, skins her knee, falls off her bike, gets yelled at by a mean girl, gets a bad grade -- every single week there's going to be something that you are going to worry about. That's just life with a child, and it's absolutely amazing.
Carly: You owe me big time, man.
Sonny: I didn't ask you to stay.
Carly: You know that I have been going crazy thinking I had lost Jax, and what happens? He shows up here and he tells me that maybe there's a chance and maybe we can work things out. And can I jump in his arms and say "great"? Can I go with him back to the hotel? No, I'm stuck here taking care of you.
Sonny: I don't want to get in the way of you and Jax. I respect that you love him, even though you don't respect that I love Kate, but that's another story.
Carly: It wasn't your precious Kate who pulled you out of the harbor.
Sonny: I didn't ask you to rescue me, so let's not get into that right now. It's not worth it.
Carly: I saved your life. Do you get that?
Carly: You would be dead right now if it weren't for me, and I have yet to hear a sincere thank you.
Sonny: You're right, you're right. I'm sorry. I -- thank you. I appreciate it.
Carly: You're welcome.
Sonny: But you know what? If you want to go up to Jax, you want to make up with him -- whatever you want to do, I'm not going to stop you.
Carly: I could drop you off at the hospital on my way.
Sonny: I can't go to the hospital. Karpov has to think that I didn't survive. I already told you that.
Carly: I can't leave you here in my living room. You could bleed to death. Look at this, Sonny.
Sonny: Don't touch it. Don't touch it, okay? It's fine. As long as I stay still, the bleeding, it's kind of -- it's not as bad as it looks, believe me.
Carly: You hope.
Sonny: If you got anything to do, go do it. It's -- it's fine.
Carly: Okay. I can call Jason and have him --
Sonny: No, no, no, no. Don't -- don't call Jason.
Lulu: I hate to sound like Maxie, but Scott has the worst taste in clothes. Have you found anything?
Nikolas: No, not really, just some gum in here, magazines, razor, extreme hold hair gel.
Lulu: Well, at least Tracy is so angry at Dad, she's flying back to Port Charles and staying out of this.
Nikolas: It may be too late. Here.
Lulu: What?
Nikolas: Luke and Tracy's marriage certificate.
Lulu: Oh, my God. You don't think that he showed this to Mom?
Nikolas: I don't -- I think that he would not even hesitate. And Laura's not married to Luke anymore. She's free to be with Scott if she wants to.
Lulu: Well, I -- well, Mom just woke up. Scott has to know that she's in a fragile state. The shock of her finding out that -- that he's married to Tracy and not to her, that could send her back into a relapse.
Nikolas: Yeah. Maybe that's why she hasn't contacted us.
Lucky: It won't take long. I just need to do a quick search.
Man: Looks like these folks beat you to it.
Lucky: They're with me.
Man: Well, unless you can also prove that you're police officers, I am going to have to call this in. You'll be charged with breaking and entering.
Luke: Laura? Laura?
Mac: Hi.
Mac: How's our newest family member?
Robin: She's perfect. Who wants to hold her next?
Mac: Maxie?
Maxie: Oh, no, no, no, not me. I'm not really good with babies. You should do it. I don't want to break her and make her cry.
Robin: Babies, they're more sturdy than they look.
Maxie: I'll just take your word for it.
Mac: Okay, I will be happy to.
Anna: There she is.
[Emma gurgles]
Mac: I know. Are you saying hello to your Uncle Mac? I love you. And this is your Aunt Maxie.
Maxie: Hi, Emma.
Anna: I'll be back in a bit, okay?
Mac: Okay. Oh, look at her.
Maxie: You know, I've never really been a baby person, but I think I'll make an exception for you. We've all loved you way before you were even born. We've been waiting here, fussing over your mom, and now here you are all pretty and perfect. Well, you were kind of splotchy when you came out, but you look good now -- and I've been buying you all these cute little outfits. I'm really babbling now. This is --
Mac: No, you're not. She's listening to every word you are saying, and she loves it. She's going to look at you. See that? She's trying to open her eyes. Yeah.
Maxie: You have no idea how much we've needed you.
Mac: That's right, Emma. Oh, little smile. You're our little angel. Yes, you are. And I can promise you that I am going to be the most doting, over-the-top, adoring great-uncle in the history of the world. Hi.
Maxie: You're going to have your very own little guardian angel, too, because your Aunt Georgie, she's going to be looking out for you and loving you just as much as we do.
Spinelli: Grandmother of newly arrived Emma might care for a handkerchief? It's a clean one, I might add.
Anna: Thank you. Oh, this is so embarrassing.
Spinelli: Not at all.
Anna: I'm fearless, Spinelli. I've been trained to defuse bombs, repel out of buildings, and I can escape from pretty much anywhere.
Spinelli: Maximista has related many a tale of the legendary empress of operatives. Your -- your bravery and prowess are most admired.
Anna: Yeah, well, it's completely useless now, isn't it?
[Anna sighs]
Anna: Robin is sitting in that room, scared to death that she's infected her baby with HIV, and there's absolutely nothing I can do to make it right.
Spinelli: Well, do not despair. Statistics are vastly in favor of most welcome Emma. With new drugs and technology, there is indeed less than 2% chance that she'll contract HIV.
Anna: Am I being ridiculous?
Spinelli: No. You're just thinking with your heart, which is a commendable and maternal thing to do.
Anna: Yeah.
Officer: Miss Lesley Lu Spencer.
Lulu: Lulu.
Officer: You're guilty of impersonating a hotel employee, breaking and entering, and obstruction of justice.
Lulu: Obstruction of justice? What did I obstruct?
Officer: Just stating the facts, Miss.
Lulu: We are not criminals. We're just looking for our mother.
Lucky: My sister, she acted impulsively. I promise, I'll make sure she doesn't break the law again.
Officer: You do that. As a professional courtesy to a fellow officer of the law, we won't charge you.
Lucky: Thank you, Officer.
Officer: You, Mr. Cassadine, are a different story. Given your status as a resident alien, your green card will be revoked, and you will be deported.
Scott: Laura?
Luke: Are you okay?
Laura: I think so. Where are we?
Luke: We're at the bottom of the cliff.
Laura: We fell all that way?
Luke: It looks like we might have caught a break and slid down the hillside.
Laura: Thank God.
Luke: Can you get out?
Laura: Um -- uh, I'll just climb out the window.
Luke: Okay, I'll be right behind you.
Laura: There's glass everywhere.
Laura: Okay, I'm out now. Come on, your turn.
Luke: My leg's pinned. You'll have to go for help.
Laura: What? We're in the middle of nowhere here. I mean, this canyon could be full of coyotes and God knows what else. I can't just leave you here.
Mac: Okay, it's time for a little nap.
Maxie: Be careful with her. Watch her head.
Mac: Are you kidding me? I've done this a million times.
Maxie: Just checking.
Mac: There you go.
Anna: Hey, you guys. There's someone else who wants to see the little princess.
Robin: Hi, Spinelli.
Spinelli: I don't wish to intrude on such an intimate family gathering.
Robin: Oh, not at all. Come in. I want you to meet Emma.
Anna: Come on.
Maxie: Come on. Isn't she cute?
Spinelli: She is indeed luminous. Gracious greetings, most welcome Emma.
Maxie: You have to teach her about all that brilliant stuff that you know.
Mac: I don't know that it's a good idea to have Spinelli be her tutor.
Maxie: Come on, Mac. She'll be a computer genius by the time she's four.
Robin: Yeah, Maxie's right about that, and you know what? I think, Spinelli, you should be Emma's honorary uncle.
Anna: Aw.
Mac: That's so cute, but you know what? You've done enough illegal hacking. I don't want my grand-niece exposed to that, okay?
Patrick: You know, this is great. I don't have to be overprotective, we've got Mac here.
Mac: That's right. That's right.
Anna: You know what? We can all contribute to her education, because I could teach her karate.
Maxie: She would look so cute crawling around in a little karate uniform.
Anna: We might have to wait for her to walk first, though. Just maybe.
Kelly: Emma's got quite an audience.
Kelly: How's she doing?
Robin: She's doing great.
Patrick: So you have results?
Kelly: It's great news. Baby Emma is HIV negative.
[Unintelligible murmurs]
Mac: Congratulations.
[Machine beeping]
Kelly: Robin's crashing.
Mac: Robin?
Anna: What?
Sonny: I told you, don't call Jason.
[Cell phone rings]
Jason: Hey, I just wanted to make sure you didn't run into any trouble on the way home.
Sam: Yeah, I'm -- I'm here, but I just, I don't know, I think somebody might have --
Jason: Sam? Sam?
Laura: Here, I'm going to put this under the dash.
Luke: What am I, a shish kabob?
Laura: Oh, don't be such a baby, Luke.
Luke: All right. We'll do it together on the count of three.
Laura: Okay.
Luke: One. Two. Three.
[Luke and Laura groan]
Luke: Okay.
Laura: Are you out?
Luke: Yeah, I got it out. Good. Oh, excellent.
Laura: Are you all right?
Luke: Yeah. How about you?
Laura: A little bruised, but I'm okay, all things considered.
Luke: Well, you look absolutely beautiful.
Laura: How dare you marry me when you were already married to Tracy Quartermaine.
Jan 11, 2009 12:47
Sonny: I'm asking you, please. Don't call Jason.
Carly: Who says I'm calling Jason?
Sonny: I don't want him coming over taking care of me.
Carly: Can you let go of my arm?
Sonny: I don't want you calling anybody outside.
Carly: You know what? This is my phone, and this is my living room, and if it weren't for me you would be on the bottom of the harbor with weights on your feet. I'm going to do what I have to do.
Jason: Sam? Answer me.
[Sam makes muffled cries]
Jason: Come on.
Jerry: My, my, my. Jason seems very concerned for a man who dropped-kicked you out of his life.
Anna: Robin?
Patrick: She was fine two seconds ago.
Mac: Please, please do something.
Kelly: Patrick -- chest compressions.
Kelly and Anna: Patrick.
Kelly: Code blue, room 1014. Code blue.
Anna: What is happening?
Maxie: What is going on?
Kelly: Okay, take the baby and get out. We need room for the crash cart. Go. Come on.
Patrick: Robin, come on.
Kelly: Charge to 200.
Matt: Charging 200.
Patrick: Come on.
Matt: Watch out. Clear.
Kelly: One milligram epi.
Epiphany: Epi in. No change, Dr. Lee.
Patrick: Come on, Robin.
Kelly: Okay, charge to 200.
Matt: It is 200. Watch out. Clear.
Nikolas: I'd -- I'd appreciate the opportunity to contact my lawyers. I'm sure there's a way we can work all this out.
Lulu: This is crazy. You can't deport him just like that. You've been in America for how long?
Nikolas: Since I was 16.
Lulu: Yes, and he is our hospital's biggest benefactor. You pay taxes all the time, right?
Nikolas: Yes.
Officer: You're still a foreign national who was caught breaking and entering.
Lulu: Okay, well, he has been arrested before. He's even gone to prison. Well -- he was exonerated. It was a mistake. He was innocent, but the point is that they didn't try to deport him that time.
Officer: It's a different world now. Nobody wants to pay for a trial for some immigrant who refuses to obey the law. Policy is to deport.
Lulu: Okay, um -- we're just trying to find our mother. So, why don't you help us instead of making this more difficult?
Lucky: Okay, look, guys. As you can see, my sister, she's a little upset, and I appreciate you not charging her with anything -- but I don't want to push it, but from one cop to another, if you can just give my brother a little time to sort this out.
Officer: We've already reported him to the I.N.S. Your brother's going to jail.
Carly: That's got to hurt.
Sonny: Don't -- don't touch it. Just go ahead -- just go ahead and leave.
Carly: I can't leave you when you have a wound that's probably getting infected. Not to mention how much water you have sitting in your lungs.
Sonny: I don't need to hear the details, Carly.
Carly: If Jax finds out about is, we're over.
Sonny: What were you supposed to do? Let me drown?
Carly: Any normal person would have dialed 9-1-1. But, no, what did I do? I bring you here.
Sonny: You saved my life. Hey.
Carly: Jax can never find out about this. Which means, I'm trying to get back together with him, and I already have a big secret -- and who's it about? You.
Sonny: You did a good thing. It's -- look, don't make this into something disastrous. You love Jax. Go after him. It's your big chance.
Carly: I can't do that.
Sonny: Just leave me the phone, because I got to -- I'll call somebody, and I'll get it worked out.
Carly: Yeah, and where are you gong? You going to crawl back to your house? You're not going to call Jason, which is the sane thing to do, and even if Kate weren't in the hospital, she's no help at all.
Sonny: Why do you always find a way to slam Kate?
Carly: Because Kate deserves it. She's a disaster. She has twisted your life around. You have basically trashed your life in the past six months, and now you almost got yourself killed -- and who's taking care of you? Not Kate.
Sonny: I -- I didn't ask you to help, Carly.
Carly: I was afraid for you. Just like I'm afraid for you now, because your side looks really bad and you have a fever. And if you die in this house, I swear to God I will never forgive you.
Sonny: I'm not going to die.
Carly: How do you do this, you know? How do I end up with you?
Sonny: You're blaming me for this now?
Carly: Well, I can't leave, because I'm afraid for you, and I can't stay if I want to get back together with Jax. How do you manage, always, to ruin my life?
Jerry: You know what? I'm giving Jason 5 -- no, 10 more minutes.
Sam: I don't know why you're waiting around. You know he wants to kill you.
Jerry: Oh, sweet Sam. The plan is pretty straightforward. You've probably figured out by now that I'm going to take you with me.
Sam: No, I figured you'll try.
Jerry: That's the spirit. You see, if we're gone when Jason arrives, chivalrous soul that he is, he'll go on high alert. He'll probably order any number of annoying and heavily-armed people to start searching and he probably will succeed before I'm ready.
Sam: I just think it might be worse if he does show up.
Jerry: Well, if Jason shows up, you'll tell him everything's fine. There are no problems anywhere. Oh, and if he doesn't believe you, I'll blow his head off, okay?
[Knocking at door]
Jerry: It's show time.
Sam: What are you doing here?
Jason: Something -- something's wrong. Why did you hang up?
Sam: Better question is -- what do you want and since when do you get to walk into my house uninvited?
Jason: Well, you said that somebody was over here.
Sam: You misunderstood.
Jason: No, then the phone cut off, Sam.
Sam: No, Jason. I hung up on you.
Jason: Why?
Sam: Because I didn't like how you were acting so interested all of the sudden out of nowhere.
Jason: Well, the way you hung up the phone, I was concerned.
Sam: Why would you be concerned? So what? You saved me in an explosion in the alley. Thank you. I appreciate your effort, but I know you would have done it for anyone in this situation.
Jason: Then why not say that on the phone?
Sam: Gosh. Do you really not get it that maybe tonight could have been just a little bit painful for me?
Jason: What are you talking about?
Sam: Well, maybe for two and a half years, I think that you are the love of my life and we have a future together, and then you dump me. And here you are. You're calling, and you're checking up on me -- and maybe a part of me was a little bit happy that you cared. I know. It is so pathetic. Well, you've got to listen to me Jason, okay, because I am done being pathetic. I will never let another man tear my life up again, okay?
Carly: I'm pretty sure the blade didn't hit any vital organs.
Doctor: Yeah, you've lost a great deal of blood here.
Carly: So, he's going to need plenty of rest and fluids. What about the water in his lungs? Are we going to have a problem with that?
Doctor: The antibiotics should prevent any pneumonia and infection. I'm glad you didn't put off calling me.
Carly: You know, I wasn't sure if you were still doing this.
Sonny: Hey, Doc. When can I just get up and move around?
Carly: You're not going to get 10 feet out the door before you pass out.
Doctor: If that. You listen to her.
Sonny: Well, I really don't have a choice. So, it don't matter.
Carly: Is he going to be okay?
Doctor: Yes, but he's going to need someone with him around the clock. I'm sure your wife will take excellent care of you.
[Phone ringing]
Tracy: What is taking the car service so long? Call them again.
Clerk: I called three minutes ago, ma'am.
Tracy: Do you see a car there? I don't, and I have a jet waiting on the tarmac. I will lose my departure time.
Clerk: You cancelled the last three cars I had waiting.
Tracy: I know. I'm the customer. I get to change my mind, and now I want to leave. I have no reason to stay, and as soon as I get back to Port Charles, I am calling my divorce lawyer. So, if you don't get me a car immediately, I am going to report you to your superior.
Officer: Mrs. Luke Spencer?
Tracy: Where's my husband? Is he all right?
Officer: The cab your husband stole is not damaged.
Tracy: My husband did not steal a cab. The driver was well compensated. Where is my husband?
Officer: There was a high speed accident. Mr. Baldwin's vehicle went over a cliff, and we have reason to believe that Luke and Laura Spencer were inside.
Tracy: You did this.
Nikolas: This is Nikolas Cassadine. Can you transfer me, please? Thank you.
Lucky: Thank you for letting my brother make this phone call.
Officer: We've already spent too much time on this.
Lulu: What I said before about Nikolas being in prison -- you have to understand he was never really guilty in the first place. It was a huge misunderstanding.
Lucky: Hey, you have to let the lawyers deal with this. That's what he pays them for.
Lulu: But Nikolas didn't do anything wrong. He's an extremely responsible person. This was all my idea to come in here, anyway.
Officer: If you keep talking, we're going to have to charge you, too.
Lucky: And that is the last thing we need right now, all right, Lulu? Considering the situation. So, take it easy.
Nikolas: I apologize for the delay. My lawyers are straightening all this out.
Officer: We get that a lot, but in the mean time, you're going to detention.
Lulu: Oh, this is a violation of his rights.
Officer: Yeah? Yeah, we got him right here. What -- what should we do with him?
Mac: This is taking too long.
Anna: They're still working on her.
Matt: Okay, we got a heartbeat, but she is in SVT.
Epiphany: BP is 60 over 32.
Kelly: She's bleeding out.
Matt: All right, but she's in sinus -- her heartbeat is down to 120.
Patrick: Okay, she's stabilizing.
Kelly: Good, good. Excellent work, people. Thank you.
Patrick: You think this is D.I.C.?
Kelly: Probably. I let you stay through the crisis. You need to leave now.
Patrick: No.
Kelly: Dr. Drake, you don't belong here for a lot of excellent reasons --
Patrick: Kelly, I'm not leaving.
Matt: I think they got it under control now. So, we should -- you know, we should get out.
Matt: Okay, I'll go if you go. Come on.
Anna: She's all right?
Patrick: She's stable, yeah.
Mac: We heard the doctor say she's bleeding out.
Patrick: She's got internal bleeding.
Anna: Well, how come? Why is she bleeding? Patrick.
Matt: Robin has disseminated intravascular coagulation. It's known as D.I.C. It's a complication that's unrelated to HIV.
Anna: I don't even know what that means.
Matt: We can't get Robin's blood to clot, and if we can't, then eventually she'll bleed to death.
Anna: No, she won't.
Nikolas: I do appreciate your understanding on this matter, and I apologize for wasting any more of your time.
Officer: This isn't going away. You have to report to the I.N.S. office in Port Charles within three days.
Nikolas: And I will.
Lulu: I don't believe this.
Scott: Tracy, this is Spencer's fault. He was chasing --
Tracy: Don't you blame it on my husband --
Lulu: Where is my mother? What did you do with her?
Scott: I don't remember.
Lulu: What do you mean you don't remember? Where is she?
Tracy: Scott says he was involved in a car accident.
Lulu: Where is my mother?
Tracy: His car went over a cliff.
Lulu: Was my mom in the car?
Tracy: Lulu, the only thing we know is that Luke and Laura are both missing.
Nikolas: Well, Scott, were they in the car?
Scott: Laura was in the car. We were driving. We went into some kind of a skid. That's all I remember, and then I woke up and my car was gone, Laura was gone, Luke's cab that he was chasing us in -- he was about 20 feet away. That's it.
Nikolas: So, what? We can assume that our mother went over a cliff in your car and now she's with Luke?
Sonny: I really don't think your cooking is going to help me heal, and if -- whoa, whoa, whoa.
Carly: All I did was open up a can, pour it in a bowl, and stick it in the microwave.
Sonny: Not hungry.
Carly: I don't care. The doctor said you needed fluids, so you're going to eat.
Sonny: Fluids? I'll drink water. You got any scotch? I'll drink scotch.
Carly: You don't need scotch. The doctor left you plenty of pain medication.
Sonny: I don't want to be doped up.
Carly: You know what you're going to do? You're going to eat. You're going to take your pills, and then you're going to get some rest. That's what you're going to do.
Sonny: No, look. Karpov's going to send people to confirm that I'm dead. When they don't find a body, they're going to go after people that are associated with me.
Carly: We haven't been associated in a long time.
Sonny: You're the mother of my sons.
Carly: Please, call Jason and get him to send over some help.
Sonny: No, no -- will you please not call Jason?
Carly: I'm supposed to sit here and wait for the bad guys to show up, because you're too proud to make a call?
Sonny: Leave. I've been telling you that --
Carly: I'm not going anywhere.
Sonny: Oh, okay.
Carly: And you should know, the only thing I have for protection in this house is a baseball bat. You really think I should have a gun?
Sonny: No, no. You don't need a gun, because you're lethal with a baseball bat. Remember when you showed up at that mob meeting, and you scared all those guys?
Carly: That was a long time ago.
Sonny: Right.
Carly: But I did save Michael's baseball bats for protection, because I don't think I should have a gun in the house.
Jan 11, 2009 12:48
Sam: You can leave now.
Jason: I just want to make sure everything's okay.
Sam: Yeah, you don't get to drop me like a bad habit and then come in and be my hero. It's passive-aggressive, and I do resent it.
Jason: I'm sorry for the misunderstanding.
Jerry: [Whispering] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Wow. Brava, brava, mamma mia. That was -- that was a great performance, indeed. Although, I'm a little bit disappointed, because I had the perfect shot. Amazing.
Sam: Wouldn't killing Jason have messed up your plan?
Jerry: Yes. That's why he's still alive. In any case, great job.
Sam: Well, I meant every word I said. He is the worst mistake I ever made.
Jerry: Oh, do I detect a note of bitterness?
Sam: No. I worked really hard to try and hold on, and I am not going to be pathetic and go back groveling to him just because he saved me in some stupid alley.
Jerry: Oh, wow. That's hardly the attitude for gratitude, as they say. You know, he probably did save your life.
Sam: Yeah, probably. It was a coincidence.
Jerry: Well, that was a lucky one. Maybe he was suspicious. Do you think he'll be coming back? What do you think?
Maxie: We're taking turns sitting with you. I wanted to be first, big surprise. Well, I've been where you are now, sick in the hospital, with the whole family waiting outside for you to get better -- and I pulled through. You're a much strong person than I am, Robin. I mean, let's face it. You never do anything wrong. So, you can't start letting people down now. It's not just for me. It's for Mac, too. He's not -- he's not over losing Georgie, not by a lot, and I can't be the only family he has left. That's not fair. Just don't bail on him, now that all the fun is about to start.
Maxie: Emma's doing great. She's HIV negative, but I guess you heard that, right? I know you like to tell people that your mom's your hero, but you're going to have a chance to be Emma's hero, too. You're going to get to be with her and watch her grow up -- not just in pictures or after the fact. That's the best kind of hero to be, right? Someone who is around all the time, lives under the same roof, maybe manages to get dinner on the table once or twice a week. We both know that feeling, that empty feeling when you realize no matter how much you hope or how good you try to act, your mom is just not coming back. You can't help but feel like maybe you just weren't worth sticking around for. And Emma's not going to understand how sick you were, Robin. She's not going to understand how much you love her and how much you wanted to bring her into this world. She's just going to know that you're gone. You're not going to do that to her. You're not going to leave her with that hole in her heart. So, you're going to get better, not for me, not for Mac or Patrick. You're going to do it for that little girl.
Patrick: So, I don't really know what I'm supposed to say here. Hi. How are you? You know, your name was just about Alyssa Rose, but that doesn't suit you at all. Does it? Emma Grace Scorpio-Drake. That's a pretty serious name.
Patrick: You know, your mom wanted you so badly. It took me a little while to figure it out, but creating you and having the privilege to love you, raise you, is going to be the most important thing that we ever do. Here's the thing, Emma. I don't -- I don't -- I don't know if I know how to be your dad. You know, sure, I can read the books and make it look good on the surface, but I'm talking about really being your father, loving you and making you feel safe and secure and making sure that every decision I make is about you. See, I need your mom for that, and I probably shouldn't tell you this, but without her I don't think I can pull this off.
Anna: Hi, honey. Well, you don't look like a new mother who's got a baby down the hall. You look like a little girl.
Anna: You look like when I used to come back after some crazy mission, and I'd step into your room and watch you sleep. That was the best part. I used to feel like I was going to just burst with love for you. And now you get to do that. You're going to experience that. You're going to be able to stand over your child and just feel all that love.
Anna: You've earned this, Robin. You really deserve it.
Anna: So you stay with us, and you stay with your little girl.
Spinelli: Might I provide the deeply concerned uncle with a refreshing libation?
Mac: Did you just offer me something to drink?
Spinelli: Yeah, perhaps a blend of rich caffeine and dairy products or the old standby, nectar of the gods?
Mac: No, thanks. All I want is for my niece to live. You know, I've never seen Robin so happy this morning. All day. Whenever it was, I don't know. I've lost all track of time now. She was sitting on the couch, surrounded by thank you notes. So calm. So relaxed. She never doubted Patrick for a second. She was right.
Mac: Robin deserves love like this you know? She's come close to happiness so many times in her life. And something has always happened to take it away. She's lost so much. And now, we could be losing her.
Spinelli: I would never presume to speak for the newly-maternal one, but I do believe that she is the most iron-willed and tenacious individual I have ever encountered. And, to that end, I believe that she will survive through a sheer force of will, if nothing else, and achieve her hard-won goal of bringing up her precious progeny.
Mac: I don't know what you just said, Spinelli, but I know it was from the heart. And for that I thank you.
Matt: How's the baby?
Patrick: She's good.
Matt: Yeah?
Patrick: Yeah, she's negative.
Matt: Yeah, yeah, that's really good.
Patrick: Yeah. You want to go in?
Matt: Oh -- no, that's okay. I was just stopping by to check on her, but I didn't know that you were going to be here.
Patrick: You know --
Patrick: I don't know how I'm going to do this. Last summer we, uh -- we lost a patient that was HIV positive. And by all accounts, she was healthy. She did everything right. Robin really identified with her. She had an emergency C-section and delivered a healthy baby girl. But she had similar complications to Robin, and she died. So as a doctor, I know that it's possible.
Matt: Robin's getting a transfusion, so they're doing everything they can to improve her chances.
Patrick: Yeah, but still it's -- you know, I think maybe I could be okay in time, but -- but I can't raise her alone.
Sam: Look, why make me your captive when I could be your partner?
Jerry: Oh, it's so convenient switching sides so late in the game, isn't it?
Sam: I am a survivor just like you. We go where our --
Jerry: Sit down!
Sam: I got rid of Jason. Lucky, he's out of the picture. Why wouldn't I want to cut myself in on a piece of the action?
[Jerry laughs]
Jerry: You have it all figured out, don't you?
Sam: No, I just know that I can be useful to you.
Jerry: And you were a diversion, sweet Sam, a bit of a challenge through my mind-numbing stroll through the straight and narrow. But I know your objectives. You want to keep your mother away from me, and you want to bust me. It didn't work. And now you're fresh out of allies, and of course you want to be on my side. I am your last resort, aren't I?
Sam: No, I am my last resort. I have known all along that I am the only person that I can count on.
Jerry: I love your pragmatism. It's very much like my own. But you know what? While I'd love to understand you, I think you'll understand that I can't.
[Sam yells]
Jerry: Sweet Sam. I'm afraid this is the biggest game of all. Not mine. Not yours. Mine!
Officer: Okay, we need to go back over your story again.
Scott: Laura and I were driving back to the hotel.
Lucky: Where were you going?
Scott: We had been sightseeing. And then your father showed up. He stole a cab --
Tracy: He did not steal a cab. He did not steal a cab.
Lucky: Why did you drive away?
Nikolas: Why didn't you at least pull over and let her out?
Scott: Because your father was out of control. He was probably drunk as usual.
Lulu: Oh, I'm sorry, which one of you drove off the cliff?
Scott: I remember that I had hit the guard rail. That's it --
Lulu: I thought you didn't remember anything. Obviously his story is not true. You should arrest him.
Nikolas: Excuse us for a moment. Come here.
Nikolas: You need to calm down and stop provoking him.
Lulu: He drove our mom off a cliff.
Nikolas: All we know for certain right now is that Mom and Luke are missing. And we need to stay focused on finding them. Antagonizing him doesn't help anything.
Tracy: All right, can't we get helicopters and search dogs?
Officer: The car was spotted in very rough terrain, and we're short on manpower.
Nikolas: Look, I'll pay for and organize a private search, starting tomorrow morning. We'll find him, okay?
Patrick: The patient I was telling you about -- Robin wanted to adopt her, the little girl. It didn't work out. But it made Robin realize how badly she wanted to have a kid of her own. Having a family wasn't really in my plan, you know? So we ended up breaking up, and I realized how much I loved her. I realized that with Robin my life would be more than I ever -- could have ever imagined. But the key concept is with Robin, because without her I know I'd be a disaster. I know I'd spend every waking moment in the O.R. I'd work eighty hour weeks, I'd spend my weekends on call, I'd pay somebody to raise our little girl. And as bad as it sounds, it's just the truth. But I know I would run. I know I would hide, because every time I'd look at Emma, I'd see Robin.
Matt: Okay, Robin isn't dead yet. And even if she does die, what are you going to do? Are you going to send the kid back? You have to be the best at everything you do. Agreed?
Matt: You gonna figure out how to be the best father.
Patrick: We didn't really have the best example, did we?
Matt: No, no, we sure as hell didn't. But all you got to do is put the kid first. No one ever did that for either of us, so at least you get that part right.
Patrick: I'm really scared I'm going to mess up.
Matt: Even if you do, at least you'll be making your own mistakes instead of just repeating someone else's.
Sam: Did you poison me? Or is it just going to look like an overdose?
Jerry: No, no, no. I would never leave you to be lying dead on the bathroom floor. That would be disrespectful to you, and it would be a terrible waste.
Sam: Then what's the plan?
Jerry: Well, I gave you a little something to be more comfortable during the trip -- I mean, more comfortable for me.
Sam: Where are we going?
Jerry: Well, let's call it your final destination. Oh, oh, oh. No, no, no, no, no, no. No calling for help. I doubt that Jason would make a dash for the second time anyway, right?
Jerry: All right. You know what? You look quite fetching. Maybe we'll make the most of it once we get where we're going. All right? Come on. Uppity, uppity whoa -- there we go. There we go. Great, yes. Excellent. Here we go.
[Door shuts]
Jason: No, it was a bad explosion, Bernie. It was in the alley off of Third Street. I don't think I was the target, but somebody is definitely stepping up their game. You know? Maybe it's Karpov. Maybe it's Jerry. I -- you know what, Bernie? Let me call you right back.
Sonny: Whatever you're doing in there, I don't want any more soup.
Carly: Good, because I'm not making you soup.
Sonny: What's that?
Carly: Well, your fever's not breaking, so you're getting a sponge bath.
Sonny: No, no, no, no, no, no.
Carly: Yep. Doctor's orders. It'll help your fever break.
Sonny: That's a stupid idea.
Carly: What is the big deal? It's not like I'm exploring new territory.
[Carly chuckles]
Sonny: Oh, please.
Carly: Okay. Hold still.
Sonny: Ah. It's cold.
Carly: You're such a baby. It's not cold. It's Lukewarm.
Sonny: It's dripping all over my --
Carly: Would you stop acting like I'm torturing you?
Sonny: This is hell of a way to spend your birthday.
Patrick: So, I just checked on Emma. She's beautiful. She's perfect. And I'm pretty scared. Before I met you, I hardly even remember then, but the most important thing in my life was being the best surgeon. You know? I thought I knew all the answers. You showed me that I didn't even know the questions. But now I know the answer. Robin, you're the answer to everything. I love you, and I need you. And our daughter needs you. So you have to live.
Jason: Sam, open the door. Sam, open --
Jason: Sam?
[Door creaks open]
Jerry: Here you go, darling. Here's the fresh air to clear up your head.
[Jerry grunts with exhaustion]
Jerry: I have a bit of business to take care of, payments to collect. Then we'll depart.
Sam: Where are you taking me?
Jerry: To totally different destinations.
[Jerry chuckles]
Sam: Where?
Jerry: You know, sweet Sam, while I admire your base natural instinct, you're a little slow to catch on. You see, you're wonderful in many ways. It's a pity, really, but this voyage will be your last, darling.
Sonny: How old are you again?
Carly: I'm not going to tell you.
Sonny: What, you think I can't figure it out?
Carly: I know you better not figure it out.
Sonny: Like I can't count backwards to the year Michael put all those candles on the cake. And then go -- you now, you think I can't figure that one out?
Carly: He was so proud. He made us turn off all the lights. Remember that?
Sonny: Yeah, we had the cake and the candles started melting because there were so many, you know? We were trying to be quiet. We were laughing because we wanted to surprise you and all that.
Carly: I remember his face was just so lit up and happy and -- just seeing all the candles.
Sonny: He was just laughing.
Jan 11, 2009 12:50
Luke: Laura? Angel? You probably don't realize it, since you were sleeping in there where it's warm and cozy, but it got pretty damn nippy out here last night. Laura, please.
Luke: Oh, thank you. I knew that you were generous and kind and that you have a big heart. I -- I don't want to press my luck, but is there any chance that I could get a cup of that fresh-smelling coffee?
Carly: Congratulations, you made it through the night. This is where you thank me.
Sonny: Thank you.
Cody: Where'd you get this?
Jason: Sam McCall and I were almost killed last night in an explosion. I found that on the ground. Can you -- can you tell me something about it?
Cody: XP11 detonator, manufactured solely for the military. You can only get this on the black market. Whoever set that explosion wasn't kidding.
Jerry: Wow, feels so good for my ego. How's the head?
Sam: Where are we?
Jerry: At the proverbial crossroad, at least for you. This is the beginning of the last day of your life, so I suggest you make the most of it, okay?
Carly: Well, your fever's down, and your wound is healing nicely.
Sonny: Mm-hmm.
Carly: I'd say we're making decent progress here.
Sonny: Well, it's got to be good enough, because I got things I got to do. Could you -- could you hand me my pants? They're on the chair. Did you not hear what I said?
Carly: I heard what you said. "Hand me my pants," not "could you please, Carly" or "would you mind, Carly?" It's a good thing I've learned to have low expectations when it comes to you.
Sonny: You need etiquette, I'll give you etiquette. Hand me my damn pants.
Carly: Okay, let's -- let's talk about the likely path that plan would take, okay?
Sonny: Okay.
Carly: Yeah, I would hand you your pants. You'd get dressed. You'd take about three steps, and then you'd fall over, and that would put us right back where we started.
Sonny: Hey, you just said that I was better.
Carly: Okay, comparatively, marginally, maybe.
Sonny: I'm fine, I'm good.
Carly: Trust me, Sonny. You don't want to be out of here more than I want you gone, but if you get up and you start walking around and you -- you get hurt again, guess what? We're right back where we started. Do you want to be there? Because we'll be here longer. Is that what you want?
Luke: But it's complicated. It's just too hard to explain through this door. Is that coffee ready, by any chance?
Laura: Yes, it is, and it's delicious. Too bad you're missing it.
Luke: Are you really going to make me do this?
Laura: Oh, let's get clear about something. I'm not making you do anything, Luke, because I'm not your wife anymore. That dubious honor now belongs to Tracy Quartermaine, of all people, so please don't feel compelled to explain yourself to me.
Luke: Look, it -- it -- well, things got complicated. You see, it was a scam. I married Tracy for alimony. I -- I was hoping to just pocket a couple of million and then walk away.
Laura: Oh, and how did that go for you?
Luke: Well, you know, unforeseen circumstances. Things just kept going one thing after another, and by the time you'd recovered, well -- all right. I know I should have been more honest with you.
Laura: More honest? How about honest at all?
[Luke coughs]
Luke: Get help!
Laura: Oh, knock it off.
[Luke continues coughing]
Maxie: I love that you made me this.
Spinelli: Well, it was my privilege and pleasure.
Maxie: It's the most thoughtful gift that anyone has ever given me, and I can't wait to show it to Robin, although she's probably known about all this stuff since she was, like, nine. Robin is off-the-charts intelligent. Before I met you, she was the smartest person that I knew, and she's in my family, so talk about no chance of measuring up.
Spinelli: Maximista has a formidable intelligence all her own. Your inner workings of your brain are a constant source of awe and wonder for me.
Maxie: I hate this. I hate just sitting here, you know, waiting. I don't want to leave. I don't know if I should stay.
Spinelli: You know you can't give up hope, right? I mean, that's what makes these inevitable though thankfully occasional walks through darkness survivable. And I happen to know that hope can be rewarded in the most unexpected yet ultimately satisfying ways.
Maxie: Honest to God, Spinelli, I don't know what I ever did before you.
Jason: Hey, any word on Robin and the baby?
Maxie: Her name is Emma Grace, and she's perfect, pink, and HIV negative.
Jason: That's -- that's great. She must be relieved.
Maxie: Robin has some weird disorder where her blood won't clot.
Spinelli: The situation is most dire.
Patrick: So as soon as you wake up, we have to have a serious discussion about our living arrangements. I know you're really attached to your apartment, but let's be honest. Emma can't stay in a closet for very long, so I'm thinking the whole nine yards. A house, fence, maybe even a dog. Look what you did to me. I went from confirmed bachelor to family guy in 10 seconds flat. But I like it, so remind me to thank you, okay? Thank you for opening up a new world, a world that I can't wait to live in with you. Because Robin, without you -- without you, I can't pull this off.
Carly: It's breakfast. You need to keep up your strength.
Sonny: I thought the idea was to get me out of here as soon as possible.
Carly: That's the plan.
Sonny: Well, then I shouldn't be eating your cooking.
Carly: [Pretends to laugh] Don't insult the hand that feeds you. Okay, now look. As you can see, we don't have a wide selection here. We got rid of all the perishables when we moved into the Metro Court, so you have soup or you have toaster tarts.
Sonny: Uh-uh, no way.
Carly: No way to which?
Sonny: Both, especially the nasty tartar things. They got chemicals and stuff.
Carly: Oh, get out of here. The chemicals? That's what makes them so yummy. Mmm. So good. Here, have that.
Sonny: No, no, no.
Carly: Come on, be adventurous. They're really good.
Sonny: It's just processed crap.
Carly: Smell the strawberries. Yum-yum.
Sonny: If you don't get it out of my face, I'm going to use it as a hockey puck.
Carly: You don't have enough strength to take me.
Sonny: Yeah, you say that when I'm out of this bed.
Carly: But see, that's not your reality. You're not out of this bed. You're in my bed, and you have to depend on me to take care of you, and this is what I'm offering. I even have blueberry. Which one do you want?
Sonny: Why are you torturing me?
Carly: Because it's so much fun. You need to take a bite. Here you go.
Sonny: You can't be serious.
Carly: So serious.
Sonny: No, seriously, it tastes like cardboard and jelly. I don't want to eat that.
Carly: It's good and you know it. But you know what? You would rather die a slow and painful death than admit that I'm right.
Sonny: No, to hear you telling it, you're always right.
Carly: That's true, and don't forget it.
Sonny: No, don't do that, don't.
Sonny: I don't want it, and it's not good.
Patrick: So, I don't want to put any pressure on you. I know you have to heal in your own time, but it'd be great if you hurried up a little bit, because, well, I think Emma misses you already. She's so perfect and beautiful, just like her mom. Small and needy, just like her mom. I'm -- I'm trying really hard to be strong and to be normal for her, but it's pretty evident that I'm not very good at it. So Robin, you really need to wake up, because we need you to wake up.
Jason: I don't mean to intrude. I just was told Robin's not doing well.
Patrick: No. Yeah, she's -- she's got a disorder -- disseminated intravascular coagulation.
Jason: Stops her blood from clotting.
Jason: Sam -- she almost died from it a couple years ago.
Patrick: So you know that all we can do is keep her transfused and hope for the best.
Jason: Sam made it through. Robin's going to make it.
Patrick: Why don't you sit with her? I got to go check on Emma, and she'd want you to be here.
Jason: Thank you. I -- I won't stay long. I just want you to know you've been on my mind every minute since this happened, and I think about how close you came to having everything that you want, everything that you deserve. Instead, we're here, and they're saying you might not make it.
Search and rescue leader: We didn't find any bodies or blood. The fingerprints and the DNA confirm it was Luke and Laura Spencer in the car. It appears that they walked away from the scene uninjured.
Nikolas: But you're not giving up the search?
Search and rescue leader: We're working at a disadvantage. Last night's rain washed away the footprints and made the site unusable for the canine unit.
Tracy: Ow, ow! Look out! Millions of miles of paved road, and my husband has to find a cliff in the woods to go over. Oh, my God. If Luke isn't dead, I'm going to kill him. I hate nature.
Lucky: We don't know anything yet.
Tracy: Has anybody looked at this scene? Have you all gone collectively blind? This is a setup.
Nikolas: A setup for what?
Tracy: This is not an accident. This is vintage Luke and Laura. They have taken their romance on the road.
Luke: It's my heart. The old ticker ain't what it used to be.
Laura: Is there something wrong with your heart?
Luke: It gave out on me three times.
Laura: Oh, no, Luke. You had three heart attacks?
Luke: Yeah, it was like an elephant sitting on my chest.
Laura: Okay, just tell me, what can I do now?
Luke: Help me up, please.
Laura: Are you sure you want to do that?
Luke: Yeah, I need air.
Laura: No, I think it's better to lie still.
Luke: Just don't argue. Just please help me up.
Laura: All right, all right. Go slowly.
Luke: Yeah, I will. Thank you.
Laura: You all right?
Luke: Oh, yeah, that --
Laura: There you go.
Luke: That's much better.
Laura: You bastard! You lied, and you tricked me to get back inside the house. How do you feel about yourself?
Luke: It wasn't a total lie. I mean, I really do have a bad heart.
Laura: And that's your M.O., isn't it? The perfect lie contains an element of truth.
Luke: Look, I know I have a lot to answer for, but I'm not going to do it through a closed door. If you're going to hate me, you have to hate me to my face. Would it be all right if I had that coffee now?
Jason: Do you remember the night before we left for Paris, the first time we accidentally met on the bridge? And you told me that you had faith in my future. Of course, I didn't know what you were talking about, so once again, you had to explain it to me. You said that faith is trust mixed with hope. That's what I'm holding for you, faith that you won't let go of the incredible life that you are about to have.
Anna: Sorry, I didn't know anyone was here.
Jason: No, I'm -- I'll get out of your way.
Anna: It's okay. You don't have to leave.
Jason: Yeah, I got to work.
Anna: Um, Jason, I'm sorry. We don't know each other. Robin's told me that you've -- you've been a very pivotal person in her life.
Jason: It works both ways.
Anna: I'll make sure she knew you were here.
Jason: She's going to get better. I have faith that she will.
Anna: Of course she's going to.
Carly: Sonny, you're not trying to escape, are you?
Sonny: No, I'm right here where you left me.
Carly: I'm sorry, I need to get something.
Sonny: What are you doing?
Carly: I need to get something.
Jerry: So sorry to leave you unattended, darling.
Sam: What's going on?
Jerry: Oh, nothing. Nothing to be concerned about. You know, I just think it's better to keep the boat moving, but it shouldn't impact you, since I'm the only one to get out of this alive.
Sam: Oh, come on, that's bull, and you know it.
Jerry: Oh, you think I won't kill you, dispose of your lovely little body and go on my merry way without giving it another thought? I mean, you're most things, the most wonderful things, my sweet Sam -- beautiful, daring, brave, sexy. But one thing you're not is particularly bright.
Jan 11, 2009 12:52
Laura: Okay, look, I want to go on record here, because this story that you're about to spin for me, I don't want to hear it. I think I really pretty much understand the circumstances. We were divorced, and you didn't have any legal obligation to me, and then I got sick. And the doctors told you that I would never recover, right? So you have moved on and you married somebody else. Does that hurt? Yes, it does, but I do understand it. I guess it's just that -- I don't know. It's just some part of me wanted to believe that there would just never be anyone for you but me, and that's really foolish, and it's selfish. You moved on, and you needed to move on, and that's good. I'm happy for you, and I'll learn how to move on too, so I'm not mad about your marriage to Tracy Quartermaine. Can we be clear on that?
Luke: Yes.
Laura: Good. I am mad that you didn't respect me enough to tell me about it.
Sam: You know, you can put me down for not being book-smart, but I am good at reading people, especially men, and I say particularly you. I know that you like a challenge and you're good at scare tactics, but you would never go through with killing me.
Jerry: You know, it's fascinating what twists and turns take place in that feral mind, to come to such an erroneous conclusion.
Sam: Oh, come on. You blew into town as Mr. Craig, expecting to get a score and get out. It didn't work out that way. So then, all of a sudden, you become Jerry Jacks, who unlike Mr. Craig has emotional attachments to Port Charles. You would never want Jax or Alexis to know what you're capable of.
Jerry: But according to you, I never gave a damn about Alexis, so why would her good opinion make a difference?
Sam: Uh, no, no, no -- listen to me. I have completely changed my mind, because I actually really do think that maybe, somewhere in there, you cared about her, at least enough to count, anyway. And there's absolutely no denying your feelings for Jax. His good opinion of you means the world to you. So if you were to murder me in cold blood, you would be dead to him and you would certainly break both of their hearts.
Jerry: You know what? Occasionally -- occasionally, you have unexpected insight, you know? The prospect of my brother having a total disillusion pains me greatly, and I -- I would never wreak havoc on Alexis, no. But you see, Port Charles is closing in on me and the prospect of a clean getaway seems very appealing.
Sam: Okay, then why don't you let me help you? There is no way that you can pilot a boat this size. I can. Come on, stop making me your prisoner, make me your ally.
Jerry: Mmm, that's a tempting offer.
Sam: Well, why don't you think about it? We'd make one hell of a team.
Carly: I'll be back in a minute to change your bandage.
Sonny: Aren't people missing you by now?
Carly: Uh, well, I called Morgan and Mercedes and I told them that I was working on a special project and I'd be out of town for a few days.
Sonny: Morgan'd probably buy it but don't you think Jax is going to be suspicious? You got to tell him something, right? I mean, I know you guys aren't living together as husband and wife but you got -- you know, you're running the hotel together and everything. What are you going to tell him?
Carly: I'm sure there are a lot of alarms going off in Jax's head right now, but what can I tell him? There's nothing I can do about it. No, wait, there is. I could be honest and I could tell him everything that happened. I could tell him that you were stabbed and that you were pushed into the harbor. But you don't want me to do that, do you? No, see, you're asking me to keep this a secret, right?
Sonny: Point taken.
Carly: What's the plan? You're going to go avenge Kate's shooting by killing Karpov?
Sonny: Definitely, Karpov has to die, but I'm not sure if, uh --
Carly: You're not sure about what?
Sonny: Maybe Karpov's telling the truth. Maybe he didn't shoot Kate.
Lucky: There's just no way my parents could ease on down the road knowing how many people are worried about them.
Tracy: Your father doesn't care who's worried about him, especially if your mother's in the picture.
Lulu: My dad has gotten a lot better about telling at least one of us when he's going to disappear. The reason he hasn't gotten in contact with us is because he can't.
Tracy: I can't decide if you are the most gullible person ever or if I should emulate you.
Nikolas: Well, maybe -- maybe Laura had a relapse and Luke doesn't want to leave her. Where -- where have you been concentrating your efforts so far?
Rescue worker: Well, there are a few cabins in the immediate area but teams are checking them. So, if the Spencers left on foot, most likely there will be a direct route.
Nikolas: Can you -- can you show us?
Rescue worker: Yeah, of course.
Tracy: Count me out. I am not traipsing through one more inch of underbrush.
Lulu: I'll sit with her.
Tracy: You don't have to do that.
Lulu: No, it's fine. You just -- you shouldn't be alone right now.
Tracy: Why the sudden concern?
Lulu: If you were paying attention, it's not sudden. You are family.
Lucky: All right, you know what? Everyone who's going, let's just do this.
[Luke sighs]
Luke: Well, you know me better than anyone. You know I'm somebody who operates from the gut and I'm not so good analyzing the ins and outs of emotional situations. If your recovery had been permanent, none of this would have happened. But the doctors told me that it was only temporary and the next time that you slipped away, it would be permanent. So I have some very tough, painful decisions to make. Like if I allowed them to wake you up, knowing that it was going to be temporary, who was I doing that for? Was it for you? Was it for me? The kids? Or did any of that matter, anyway?
Laura: I'm sorry, Luke. I -- I know how difficult it all was for you.
Luke: When you did recover, you said that you wanted to marry me again and I know that that was the time to tell you about Tracy, I know. But knowing that you were only going to be with me for a limited amount of time, I didn't want to waste that time. I didn't want to not give you what you wanted.
Laura: It's okay. I get it. I really do. It's sweet, it's romantic. But you know what else it is? It's condescending. It's really condescending to assume that I can't handle the truth about your life without me.
Spinelli: My humble apologies for keeping the master waiting. I drove Maximista home so she could rest from her vigil, but I returned with haste when Stone Cold indicated he had a matter that required cyber skill.
Jason: Yeah, yeah, can you still hack into the P.C.P.D. records?
Spinelli: Like taking candy from a tot.
Spinelli: What is this?
Jason: A fragment of the detonator -- XP11. It can only be bought on the black market. So I need you to check the files, see if this same type of detonator was used in the Metro Court explosions.
Spinelli: Do you think that the demented one has reverted back to his dark and perhaps even more alarming Mr. Craig ways?
Jason: Well, that's what we need to find out, fast. Sam's life could be on the line.
Anna: You made a really good choice in Patrick. He's amazing. You know, I think he's -- he's a little bit freaked out now, but he's doing very well. He's been taking care of Emma. He's been monitoring you. He stayed here all last night.
Anna: You've got so much to live for, Robin. Sweetie. That's why I know it's exactly what you're going to do.
Anna: Oh, wow, here she is. Hi. How's the brand new girl?
Patrick: Nurse said it's feeding time.
Anna: Oh, it is?
Anna: I'll let you do the honors, then.
Patrick: Wait, I was, uh -- just thinking maybe you could feed her.
Anna: Why?
Patrick: Well, you are her grandmother, and you actually know what you're doing.
Anna: You have to figure it out sometime. It's easy. All you do is you hold the bottle.
Anna: And Emma will do the rest, all right?
Patrick: Okay, babe. Come here. There you go.
Patrick: All right. Okay, let's see. So, hold the bottle, and you're supposed to do the rest here. That's it, take it. Oh, yeah. Jeez, it's got to be pretty good. Well, grandma was right. Hey. Look, mom's back. Hi. The family's here.
Sonny: I don't need another bandage. This one -- I'm fine.
Carly: No, it's not. Come on, don't give me a hard time. Don't give me a hard time.
Sonny: I'm not.
Carly: I'm just trying to help you here. Let me see this.
Sonny: Ah, ah -- wait, wait --
Carly: Sorry.
Sonny: Wait, no. Listen to me, I'm fine.
Carly: Sonny -
Jason: Okay. Sam took the detonator, intending to follow up on her own. I called her to make sure that she didn't run into any trouble on the way home. She said she thought somebody was here. That's when the phone cut off. I came right over to check on her. She said, you know, that I -- that I was jerking her around. She told me to stay out of her life.
Spinelli: That new and alarming information doesn't track with fair Samantha's prior behavior. What exactly did she say?
Jason: Well, a lot of the same stuff I heard when we broke up. She devoted her life to me. I -- I used her and she wasn't going to let me make her pathetic.
Spinelli: If I may offer a humble opinion, it appears that too much time in Stone Cold's presence proves unsettling for fair Samantha, no doubt due to lingering and unresolved romantic feelings.
Jason: You know, don't -- don't get sidetracked. If she is determined to follow up on the detonator, why would she leave it behind?
Neighbor: Sam? Are you home?
Neighbor: Who are you?
Spinelli: Uh, just worried friends of brave Samantha.
Neighbor: Why worried?
Jason: Sam disappeared last night. She's not answering her cell phone.
Neighbor: She's fine. Sam went off with one of her boyfriends. I saw her leave.
Jason: Was this guy someone you've seen before?
Neighbor: He visits on occasions, yeah.
Jason: Would you recognize him?
Neighbor: Sure. Oh, that's him. Handsome guy. Obviously, Sam thinks so, too.
Jason: What -- what do you mean by that?
Neighbor: Oh, they were in a very amorous mood. Sam was draped all over him.
Jerry: [Laughs] Oh, I expected you to be resourceful, and you didn't disappoint. But I mean, come on, seriously, what did you think you were going to do?
Sam: You can't blame me for trying to get away. You haven't been encouraging about my chances for survival.
Jerry: Sit. There you go.
Sam: You're actually enjoying this, aren't you?
Jerry: Oh, my God -- I am, I am. You know, you are really quite amusing. Really a lot of fun. Present. Come look. So much fun.
Sam: No, I'm afraid to ask
Jerry: Let me show you, darling. Here, want to take a look? Plastic explosive, XP11 detonators. You remember the explosion on the Metro Court? Same stuff. You know, don't worry, you are going out with a bang, I promise you.
Lulu: Checking for signs that I'm about to start seeing dead people again?
Tracy: Clearly, you've made a complete recovery.
Lulu: Thanks to my mom. I hope her recovery lasts.
Tracy: I'm sure you do. I bet your father does, too.
Lulu: Yeah, it's great having her back and awake. It's got to be killing you, though. What are you going to do?
Tracy: I'll let you know when I figure it out.
Laura: I'm not trying to be difficult, Luke. I'm just trying to make you understand, you know? It's -- it's infuriating to have entire chunks of your life missing, and it's even more infuriating to have other parts held back from you, for your own good.
Luke: I know it's a lame explanation, but it's the only one I got. I didn't want to hurt you.
Laura: I'd rather be hurt than treated like a child or like some shell of a human being who just can't handle the truth about her life.
Luke: I understand now, I do.
Laura: Good. Well, we probably should talk about, um, our current problem. Uh, I'm awake. Don't know for how long. And you're married to Tracy Quartermaine, so we have another tough choice. Should we really be spending any time together?
Jan 11, 2009 12:55
Sonny: All right, all right. I'm good.
Sonny: That's good.
Carly: It's bad.
Sonny: I've had worse.
Carly: I'm talking about the situation, Sonny.
Sonny: Feel free to stop anytime.
Carly: I'm not letting myself get pulled back in this time, again.
Sonny: Wait.
Jax: I know you're probably swamped, but I need this finalized as soon as possible. Okay, okay, fine. I'll be around the hotel. Thank you.
Jason: You got a minute?
Jax: No, I don't have a minute for you.
Jason: It's about your brother. I need some information.
Jax: I don't care what you need. You or Sonny.
Jason: Okay, what about Sam?
Jerry: Hmm. What do you think, huh? I was going to go for Lincoln or Rasputin maybe. It's more in character. I might as well of gagged you for all your chatter.
Sam: You're sick.
Jerry: Ah, there she is. That's my sweet Sam.
Sam: What are you doing?
Jerry: I'm preparing a more intimate affair -- you, me, and a few pounds of plastique. It's amazing how innocuous plastique is until you add a very potent electrical charge to it. Come on, put on your party face because we are going to have a blast.
Laura: Don't look so surprised, Luke. When you're married to one woman and you're chasing down another, you know, tough questions are bound to follow.
Luke: Hey, look, I was chasing Baldwin because he was driving like a manic and he had you captive in the car.
Laura: You're stalling. It's amazing how your mind works, you know. One half of it stalls while the other half can burn rubber and come up with a good answer. I'm sorry. I guess it's really not fair of me to put you on the spot.
Luke: No, it's life that isn't fair, darling. Life. You were the love of my life. My angel. I've never tried to replace you because I couldn't. You know that.
Laura: I believed that you loved me when you married me, but the first time -- I was just a little girl then, and I'm not anymore. And you don't seem like a guy who needs an angel.
Luke: Where are you taking this?
Laura: I don't know. I'm trying to answer the question I asked you, you know, me or Tracy. Oh, look, if you feel that too much time has passed, and it really has changed things for us then I can accept that.
Luke: Do you mean that?
Carly: You need to let go of my arm.
Sonny: What are you talking about? I'm not backsliding into anything. You love Jax. Great. I love Kate. So what are you talking about?
Carly: Come on, Sonny. When things get out of whack, we collide, and you know it.
Sonny: Because we react without thinking. That's what happened in the limo, and that's not going to happen again.
Carly: Yeah, you're damn right it's not going to happen again. Because I love Jax. You think you love Kate.
Sonny: What kind of stupid crack is that? You know your love for Jax is real. And my love for Kate is some fantasy?
Carly: You can't get out of yourself enough to even see the difference, can you?
Sonny: You don't know anything about Kate.
Carly: Oh, no?
Sonny: No.
Carly: I know she's a girl from the old neighborhood.
Sonny: Yeah.
Carly: Connie Falconeri.
Carly: Who changed her name and left you in the dust. She dumped you, didn't she? That's why you've been fixated on her all of these years. And you know what? It makes no sense to me because you guys couldn't be more different. She is a snobby, pretentious bitch.
Sonny: You know what, I'm not -- gee -- I'm not having this argument.
Carly: Oh, where are you going now?
Sonny: You could leave or see me naked. It's up to you.
Kate: I cannot believe you brought saltwater taffy.
Olivia: Well, I'm sure you're not supposed to be having it, but --
Kate: Yeah, well, I survived a bullet. I'm no sure what kind of harm sticky sugar can do me.
Olivia: Well, actually, it's two bullets at this point, but who's counting?
Kate: Mmm. Let me taste. Mmm! It's good.
Olivia: Good?
Kate: You know, it's almost as good as that stand --
Olivia: The candy stand down by the surf.
Kate: Mm-hmm.
Olivia: Yeah, they ripped that place down about eight years ago to make room for some social improvement project or something. Yeah, that's always how I knew that you'd been in my room. There was always little wax paper wrappers dropped all over where you had snooping around.
Kate: Yeah, really?
Olivia: Yes.
Kate: Well, I guess I can tell you now. I was sneaking peeks at your diary.
Olivia: I guess I can tell you now that I only wrote stuff in my diary that I knew would tick you off.
Kate: Ooh!
Olivia: That's a pretty good arm for someone in the hospital.
Kate: Well, you know, they might actually send me home as early as tomorrow. And then who knows what comes next?
Claudia: I think it's time for the bride-to-be to have a little talk with the bride that wasn't.
Olivia: Nobody is interested in what you got to say.
Kate: Oh, actually, I am.
Claudia: Well, obviously you're smarted than your cousin. [Claudia chuckles] So I've been thinking about it a lot, and I don't expect Sonny to be faithful to me after we're married, but I won't tolerate him sleeping with you.
Olivia: Get out.
Kate: No, it's okay, Olivia. So, let me get this straight. You actually think that Sonny will marry you?
Claudia: Sonny needs the power that my family has to offer. So, yeah, I do.
Olivia: Isn't your father recovering from a stroke?
Claudia: An aneurysm, actually. But who's counting? Besides, marrying Sonny as a condition of terms was my father's idea. I think it makes a great get well gift, don't you?
Jason: Okay, Sam thinks that Jerry's involved in a drug ring, so she's trying to get evidence to prove to Alexis that Jerry is still bad news.
Jax: Why should Alexis be different than any other woman in town, huh?
Jason: Okay, Jax --
Jax: I mean, death and danger sell, right?
Jason: Jerry asked Sam to meet him in an alley. When she got there, it exploded. I found the detonator. It was the same kind that your brother used here. Now, Sam has disappeared, and one of her neighbors said she saw Sam leaving with Jerry.
Jax: Well, it seems like you got your work cut out for you. Just do me a favor and leave me out of it, okay?
Jerry: You know, I think I'm making too many of these. I mean, one in the engine room, one in the forward hull, one in the aft. It's quite sufficient to sink us really. But I've always had a weakness for extravagant gestures.
Sam: What are you really doing? I mean, I don't -- why would you blow up a ship you could use to get away?
Jerry: Who said I was getting away?
Laura: You don't get to answer a question with a question.
Luke: Guess I'm still stalling.
Laura: Hm.
Luke: You know, the old brain cells don't burn rubber like they used to. Every time I came to visit you at Shadybrook and saw that you were still unable to do anything, but just sit and stare, I was overcome with grief every time. 'Cause all I could think of was all the wasted time, the wasted life, the lost joy, your infectious laugh, your beautiful sparkling eyes. Laura, nothing could ever make me stop loving you.
Laura: I know. But loving someone and building a life with them are really two different things. We were pretty remarkable though, weren't we?
Luke: We had to keep on our toes.
Laura: And I've been off of mine for a while now. You've experienced years without me and without even having any hope of speaking to me.
Luke: But you've always been with me. Always.
Laura: Mm-hmm. Like a faded photograph in your wallet. Look, I'm sure that at some point you, you know, I just didn't factor in anymore. Oh, I hate what we've been robbed of. I hate that we didn't get to grow older and closer together, instead of further apart.
Luke: You mean, like we didn't get to sit on the front porch in matching rocking chairs.
Laura: My God, I would have had to nail you down to it. Oh, Luke, I never believed that that was something you actually wanted. Okay, so what's gone is gone, and we can't get it back, and it's nobody's fault, and it just is.
Luke: Are you sure about that?
Tracy: This heap reminds me of your father. A scrap pile, but there is always somebody foolish enough to get it running again, never thinking that it could drive off and leave you in the dust.
Lulu: I don't want to see you get hurt.
Tracy: Thank you,
Lulu: but don't worry about me. I had no illusions being married to your dad.
Lulu: You and my dad are a weirdly well-matched couple, but now that my mom's awake, it's like a triangle and somebody always gets left out.
Tracy: Why do you assume it's going to be me?
Lulu: Why do you assume it isn't?
Nikolas: All right, so we searched the area to the south. There is no sign of either one of them.
Lucky: And there's a streambed that we're going to take to the north while there is still light.
Tracy: Yeah, just enough light to get me back up to the top. You should come with me.
Lucky: That is a good idea.
Nikolas: We will call you if we anything.
Lulu: No, I'm coming with you guys. I want to see Mom and Dad, too.
Tracy: Well, I want to see the bottom of a martini glass and save one for your father. Um, excuse me, could you help me to the top, please?
Nikolas: What -- I'm sorry. Did I miss something here?
Lulu: Tracy thinks that our dad is going to come back to her.
Lucky: It's just pure denial.
Lulu: Is it? Dad's always been very loyal to Tracy.
Nikolas: Yeah, in his own peculiar way, I guess.
Lulu: What if he does choose Tracy?
Luke: We were starting down a really perfect road when we got remarried. But I messed up. I should have insisted that we elope. You wanted your family around. You wanted Rick to walk you down the aisle.
Laura: Luke, please, we don't have to revisit this.
Luke: No, we do. We do because that's where all this started, with Rick's death. I tried to protect you, Laura. I jumped in with both feet, and I just -- I made everything worse.
Laura: It's not your fault.
Luke: If not mine, than whose fault was it?
Sonny: Did you enjoy that?
Carly: It's smaller than I remember. That scar on your left side. Or maybe it's just that you have so many more now to compare it to. As for the rest of you, you know, it's nothing I haven't seen before.
Sonny: So why are you still standing there?
Carly: So I can carry your butt back to bed when you fall over. It costs a lot of money to get blood stains out of a carpet.
Sonny: I know a guy. He'll do a good job.
Carly: I'm sure you do. Blood, bullet holes. You can fix everything your job touches, can't you? Except a kid in a coma.
Sonny: Do you still visit Michael?
Carly: At least once a week. Physical therapy is really good for him. He looks just like a little boy, sleeping, you know. He's getting bigger. He's growing up in a bed.
Sonny: It must be, uh -- must be hard to see him.
Carly: Yeah, it is. I think it would be harder to stay away. I don't believe that his life is over. I just refuse to believe that.
Sonny: I hope you're right, but you know what? Michael wouldn't want us to fight, so thank you for what you did. Go back to Jax. I'm going to get rid of Karpov.
Carly: You said that you don't think Karpov shot Kate.
Sonny: It doesn't matter. After what he did to me, I'm going to get him, because if don't, he's going to come back. I got it. No, I got it. I got it, I got it. I'll be fine.
Jax: I imagine it took a lot for you to actually ask for help, but there's nothing I can do.
Jason: No, I don't think you're hearing me. Your brother is running drugs and may have kidnapped Sam, Jax.
Jax: I don't think you're hearing me. I don't know anything about it. I don't want to know anything about it. But if you want to track down my brother, be my guest. You want to search his room, I'll leave a key at the front desk for you. My dislike for you aside, I don't doubt your ability.
Jason: Just call your brother.
Jax: And tell him what? Jason Morgan suspects you of nefarious deeds and has finally gotten around to killing you? If Jerry weren't smuggling drugs, it would be something else. It's how he lives. It's how you and Sonny and Carly live, from one disaster to another. It's your choice, your mess. You can clean it up yourself.
Sam: You don't have to blow yourself up.
Jerry: No. I mean, you talk about me getting away -- where? I've been to the continents. I've been to the seven seas. I've had different names and different faces, with all varying degrees of success, and they've all led me here, to the proverbial dead end.
Sam: A man like you doesn't give up.
Jerry: Is it different for you? A life of larceny. A life where love is always out of reach, not that we really need that, you and I.
Sam: But I do.
Jerry: Aw. Oh, you don't have to be scared. It's terrible to be scared. It leaves you soul ragged. You'll wander, apparently through eternity.
Sam: You don't have to do this. I know places that are safe and really beautiful.
Jerry: Ah, I know you do.
Sam: Nobody will find us.
Jerry: I'm sure. I'm sure, darling. You know, the problem with safe and beautiful places is they become boring, and you'd escape at the first opportunity. No, no, no. I am going to take you to a place where you will never be tempted to leave. A place where, if we're lucky, we'll be mourned, rather than hunted.
Sam: Please, don't.
Jerry: Now in five --
Sam: Don't! Stop!
Jerry: Four --
Sam: You're crazy. Stop it.
Jerry: Guilty -- three --
Sam: No, don't! No, please!
Jerry: Let's go out with a smile, shall we?
Sam: No!
Jerry: Two --
Carly: If it took you this long to get down the stairs, how the hell are you going to kill Karpov? Let alone get away with it?
Sonny: We're done talking about this. You're out of it.
Carly: Not yet.
Carly: I thought I'd save you a trip.
Jan 11, 2009 12:56
Olivia: Consider this room off limits.
Claudia: You know, marriage to me can give Sonny everything he wants across the board.
Kate: And what do you get out of it?
Claudia: Great sex. You know, and power. Or at least a venue to wield my own power in.
Olivia: If I see your face in this room again, I will wield my fist through your teeth. You forget about them, honey, okay? They deserve each other. All right, I'm going to give this coat back to that miserable bitch before she can use it as an excuse to come back in here.
Kate: Olivia.
Olivia: What?
Kate: I love Sonny.
Olivia: Yeah. We always love what's bad for us, don't we?
Jerry: Do you really think I have such a dim view of the world so as to blow myself up? No, there are still jewels to fondle, women to steal or vice versa. You see the detonator was not activated. Timing is crucial. I will not blow up the boat until I get possession of the shipment and the payment is received to my account.
Sam: And what are going to do? Cut Karpov out of the deal and make off with the drugs and the cash?
Jerry: Well, truth be told, I was skimming, you know, from the top, so now I can just cash in and run.
Sam: Oh, okay. So you will make sure that the police or Jason or Karpov -- they won't come after you because they are all going to think you are dead.
Jerry: Well, I feel a little bad, you know, tarnishing the memories that your mother and Jax have of me, but I think it's better off if they think I'm dead.
Sam: And what am I? Your insurance?
Jerry: Oh, no, no, no, no, my dear. See, you -- you are the glue that holds my scheme together.
[Jerry whistles lively tune]
Laura: I don't blame you for anything that's happened, especially not the part after I got sick.
Luke: Well, if I had known that this moment was going to happen in our lives, everything would have been different.
Laura: Look, I'm not looking for an apology, Luke. I just want to know where we are now, because I can't make any realistic plans about my own future until you've been honest with me.
Luke: Okay. What do you want to know?
Laura: Do you love Tracy Quartermaine?
Carly: I went to your place, and I got it out of your desk.
Sonny: You said you'd never have a gun in this house again.
Carly: It's not going to be here long, is it?
Sonny: Listen, you understand why I have to do this, right?
Carly: I understand. You're going to do it no matter what I say. And that's why we're not together, and that's why I have custody of the kids.
Sonny: Okay, Karpov is a threat. He has to be dealt with.
Carly: You're not even sure if he shot Kate, Sonny. Come on.
Sonny: Okay, listen, you may be right on that. I asked Karpov a question. There was a look in his face. And I thought the son of a bitch didn't do it. But he shoved me in the water.
Carly: So now you're going to kill him?
Sonny: Like he meant to kill me. Once somebody knifes you and leaves you to drown, the peace is no option.
Carly: All right.
Sonny: I got to go.
Carly: No, look -- no, Sonny, if Karpov didn't shoot Kate, that means somebody out there did.
Sonny: I'm going to deal with that eventually, but tonight I'm going to deal with Karpov first. He knifed me, left me to die -- tonight I take back what was taken from me.
Carly: A lot was taken from you this year. The only thing worse than sitting through your murder trial will be visiting your grave.
Sonny: Hey, listen to me. You're acting like you're never going to see me again.
Nikolas: I got this map from one of the rescue workers. Here is where we just searched. There's a rescue team here, and I believe another one here. This is that creek bed. It runs north and then goes east. You -- I think you, Lucky, should search along the trail here, and then she and I will search along the creek bed.
Lucky: I think we should stick together. If one of us gets lost --
Nikolas: If we split up we can cover more ground.
Lulu: For all we know, Mom and Dad are so busy working out their issues, they aren't even thinking about getting found.
Lucky: Maybe that's a good thing.
Lulu: Or it's a bad thing.
Nikolas: Is it even a possibility?
Lulu: Do you really think it's a good idea having Mom and Dad get back together?
Lucky: Love does make mistakes.
Lulu:: Like me and Johnny?
Lucky: You said it. I mean, look at me and Elizabeth. I mean, we tried again and it was a disaster.
Lulu: It doesn't have to be. Nikolas, would you give Emily a second chance if she --
Nikolas: Yes, I would. But we're dealing with two very unique people here.
Lulu: Three. Whether you like it or not, Tracy is not going anywhere.
Scott: Well, well, well, Tracy, did the drunken freeloading fox get away?
Tracy: I hate L.A.
Scott: Well, who doesn't, unless you're young and in love. You look like you could use a drink in a glass with a diving board.
Tracy: You short-sighted boob. You could not have set up a more perfect scenario for Luke and Laura to get back together again.
Scott: You would have handled it differently?
Tracy: Of course. You could have stayed put when you saw me and Luke standing there. We could have had a nice, old-fashioned brawl. Luke would have been exposed as a bigamist. And you and your precious Laura could have ridden off into the sunset like fools in love, and I could have gone back to the mansion with my husband.
Scott: Nah, you know what? I've had a little more experience with Spencer and Laura than you.
Tracy: You mean failure.
Scott: Well, you know what, Tracy? Sometimes you just got to sit back and let destiny take its course.
Luke: I'll be honest with you.
Laura: Oh, where have I heard that before?
Luke: I do have strong feelings for Tracy.
Laura: Did they start before or after you got her drunk and tricked her into marrying you?
Luke: After. Long after. It was sort of something that crept up on me. And then when I faced my mortality, it sealed the deal. See, one of the events that you missed was -- I had a massive coronary last year just before Christmas.
Laura: Oh --
Luke: And, you know, I'm not one who scares easily, but I don't mind telling you it changed everything. I had one botched bypass, and then one that didn't work. And then a successful operation, but it really took the wind out of my sails.
Laura: I'm shocked. No, not that you got sick, but that you went ahead and had the procedure with your suspicion of authority and all.
Luke: Yeah, well I didn't want to, and I almost didn't, frankly. It was Tracy who convinced me to have the operation. She refused to give up on me, and she just wouldn't allow me to give up on myself.
Laura: So, you must have gotten pretty close then, huh?
Luke: It went from con to con to connection. And my feelings for her shocked me almost as much as I'm shocked standing here looking at you now.
[Laura crying]
Laura: Well, if it makes you feel any better, I think the doctors are pretty shocked to see me up and around, too.
Luke: Good old lS-49.
Laura: Yeah, I guess it works differently on different people.
Luke: So?
Laura: So, yeah, I guess it could be temporary. But you know what? I'm going to think about it as being permanent, because I want to live.
Luke: Good. Good and now you got your life back. What do you want out of it?
Laura: What do you expect me to say? That I want you back?
Spinelli: The Jackal, P.I., was very impressed with Stone Cold's physiological sweep of the demented one's room.
Jason: Too bad there wasn't much to find.
Spinelli: All right, so in order to calculate our next move, we must review the case so far, mainly a room with all of Jerry's personal stuff and clothes neatly left behind, which would indicate to me either a sudden departure or a planned return.
Jason: Or he did a sweep of his own on the room because he left nothing for us to trace.
Spinelli: So -- what do we do? We go back further?
Jason: Yeah, good, good idea. All right. Let's start with the explosion. Let's assume that Jerry's the one who set it. He needed materials.
Spinelli: Of a specific variety. Jackal, P.I., will see if any purveyors of such goods made any recent sales.
[Typing]
Karpov: I have a shipment due tonight -- tonight, and no one seems to know what's happening with it?
Karpov: Find Jerry Jacks and see what he knows about it.
Olivia: It's just me. I didn't think you'd show.
Karpov: It was most surprising to receive a call from someone claiming to be Kate Howard's cousin.
Olivia: Why did you shoot her?
Karpov: I'll tell you what I've told Sonny, what I've told others. I did not shoot the woman.
Olivia: Well, you're doing a pretty rotten job selling that story, because Sonny wants you dead.
Karpov: Sonny is no worry for me.
Olivia: Sonny is getting ready to work a deal with the Zaccharas to come after your sorry ass.
[Karpov chuckles]
Olivia: Now, I don't want to see anyone get killed. So why don't you be really smart, take a hint, and get out of town?
Karpov: You obviously haven't heard. I believe Mr. Corinthos has met with an accident.
Sonny: Dead wrong.
Luke: Nothing stays the same, does it? Things change. People change. You have. I have. But there's one thing that will never change. That's the place that you hold in my heart. No one could ever touch that. Never. Well, I can only imagine the lies and exaggerations that Baldwin has told you.
Laura: He didn't lie to me. Maybe he did exaggerate a little bit, but he didn't lie to me.
Luke: So what, every fourth or fifth word was the truth?
Laura: No. Truth -- he told me that you were married to Tracy Quartermaine. Truth -- he reminded me of a time that I loved him. Truth -- he wasn't always the villain. We really made him into that. Really, you did. Truth.
Carly: I already tried Jason's cell and the office. He's either not there, or he's not answering. And this is really important. I know I always say that, but I mean it this time. Forget it. I'll find him myself. Oh, Jax. Jax, I know -- I know we have to talk, but right now, I can't do it.
Jax: No, this won't take long. These are our divorce papers. All you have to do is sign them, and we can be done with this farce.
Sonny: You need to leave.
Olivia: I'm not sure that's a good idea.
Karpov: Neither am I.
Sonny: Do it. Walk. Don't stop walking until you get to Kate's house.
Karpov: You're a hard man to kill.
Sonny: You won't be.
Karpov: Shooting me will only bring payback from my organization -- payback like you've never seen.
Sonny: You tried to kill me once already. I'm not going to let you live to try again.
Karpov: You want payback for your bride. Well, I'm not the one who shot her.
Sonny: Maybe that's true. But it's too late to matter.
[Gunshot]
[Gunshots]
Jason: Something's not adding up. Jerry calls Sam to an alley, sets off an explosion using all the same materials he used in the hostage crisis, and then he grabs Sam from an apartment within sight of her neighbor.
Spinelli: Yeah, it's as if he's trying to tell us something and that somehow fair Samantha is entwined.
Jason: Okay, but why does Jerry need Sam? Why is she so important to him?
Spinelli: Obviously for a plan of large proportions.
Jason: What is it -- who is that? Who is Jay?
Spinelli: It's one of the demented one's many aliases. Look at the amount of pounds of plastic explosive he purchased and had delivered earlier today.
Jason: It's enough to blow something sky high.
Sam: What? So this is just a game now? I've got to guess my usefulness?
Jerry: Oh, God, and here I was getting dreadfully bored at assembling these explosives.
Sam: I'm just wondering if you're going to blow up the ship, how are you going to save the drugs?
Jerry: You have so many questions.
Sam: Can you please answer me?
Jerry: No, explanations are tedious. Why don't we liven it up a bit? Huh? Do you remember that game we played at the Metro Court?
Sam: I remember a lot of sadistic games you used to play.
Jerry: So do I, quite frankly. I was referring to the game of catch. Very good, sweet Sam. As long as you play the game, I can give you answers.
Sam: What if I stop playing?
Jerry: Well, I can think of another game with higher stakes. Now it's your turn, Sam.
Sam: Why do you want to blow up the ship?
Jerry: Ah. Well, that one deserves an answer, I think. You see, Karpov is part of an extremely violent syndicate that I wouldn't even want pursuing me. Consequently, the ship will blow up with enough product inside it so that people think that the shipment is completely lost, as well as my blood and DNA. So it will convince them that I'm lost with it. Wonderful, isn't it?
Sam: Yeah, and what about me?
Jerry: Different question.
Sam: Answer me, please.
Jerry: Well, I can bet that whatever's left of your beautiful, sexy dead body will convince them that we both went down with the ship.
Luke: Laura, no matter what happens, I need you to know that you're the one angel that I have actually known in my life.
Laura: I'm not an angel. You know, that's your idea. It's your fantasy of what the perfect woman would be.
Luke: Oh, no. No, no. I've never needed perfect. You gave me something more important than perfect. You actually made me believe in something I never expected to believe in. Love.
Laura: We were pretty amazing, weren't we?
Luke: We were amazing.

Episode #13381 Written by Mary Sue Price, Robert Guza, Jr., Garin Wolf, Elizabeth Korte, and David Goldschmid
Carly: Last night you said there was a chance we could get back together. What -- what happened?
Jax: You spent the night with Sonny.
[Sonny spits]
Jason: Jerry and Sam have been missing for 24 hours.
Spinelli: Yes, the Jackal will retrace the evildoer's steps prior to the purchase of the plastique.
Jason: We need to figure out where Sam fits into all this.
Jerry: Nice catch, sweet Sam. Wow.
Sam: I get a question. What's your time frame?
Jerry: Oh, when -- when our boat go boom?
Jason: Jerry bought enough plastique to blow up a small building. We need to figure out where he's taking it.
Jerry: Focus on the here and now, sweet Sam. That's all you've got left.
[Sam gasps]
Jerry: Because eventually, when the time is right, that's your answer. By the way, I'll be gone and presumed dead. Our little boat will be in pieces, and so, regrettably, will you.
Laura: Oh, Luke.
Luke: Oh, I've missed you so much.
Lulu: Mom? Mom, can you hear me?
Laura: Lulu? Lulu.
Lulu: Mom.
Laura: Hi.
Nikolas: Mom. Thank God. Are you all right?
Laura: Yes, I'm fine. I'm wonderful, in fact.
Lucky: We got here as soon as we could.
Laura: Oh, honey. I can't believe my whole family's together. It's a miracle.
Laura: Look at you. You are both so handsome.
Nikolas: What do you mean, look at us? I mean, you're awake, flying across country, getting in car crashes, hiding out. I -- I can't even believe that you're really standing here.
Lulu: Well, who told you Mom was awake weeks and weeks ago and everyone thought I was crazy? I'm not complaining. I had you when I needed you the most.
Nikolas: It seems like you've completely recovered.
Laura: Well, 24 hours with Luke will do that for you.
Luke: Back at you, darling.
Laura: But, listen, we all need to agree on something as a family, okay? I promise to tell you if I feel a relapse coming on, but I'd like you all to promise me that you will never again hide the truth from me for my own good.
Carly: I swear to you, nothing happened.
Jax: Whatever goes on between you and Sonny is really not my concern any more.
Carly: Obviously it is, because you're upset.
Jax: When I came over, you said you wanted time alone, and I believed you.
Carly: I can explain everything to you, Jax. I can.
Jax: Yeah, I'm sure you can, but you know what? Sometimes I don't even think that you can tell the difference between telling the truth and telling a lie, especially when Sonny is involved. But you know what? I don't care anymore, because I'm finished, I'm done with this.
Carly: No, no, no. Don't you dare. Don't you throw away everything we have over one big misunderstanding.
Jax: Me? You're the one that's throwing everything away, Carly. I mean, what are you even doing here in the first place? Have you forgotten how dangerous things are right now? Were you that desperate to sleep with him?
Carly: I didn't sleep with Sonny.
Jax: But he was here, wasn't he? When I came over to talk to you, I mean, you practically shoved me out the door. He was probably hiding somewhere, listening to everything I said, right? Right?
Carly: Yes, but I swear to you, it is not what you think, Jax.
Jax: Don't bother. Don't bother explaining, Carly. I mean, the simple fact is that you chose Sonny over me.
Carly: No.
Jax: I'm just leaving you to your choice.
Operator: 911 operator. What is the nature of your emergency? You have reached the 911 operator. Please state the nature of your emergency.
Spinelli: The detonator matched that used in the Metro Court lobby explosion. The Jackal traced a large amount of plastic purchased by a Mr. Brosnan, A.K.A. Mr. Craig --
Jason: Okay, I know -- I know who you mean. Why would Sam leave her apartment with Jerry?
Spinelli: And in an amorous manner, if the eye witness account is accurate.
Jason: Okay, I bet -- I bet you Jerry was in the apartment when I went to check in on Sam.
Spinelli: That would explain why she encouraged you to leave in such a strident and vociferous manner.
Jason: Yeah, she did want to get rid of me. That's for sure.
Spinelli: But there's nothing to conclusively decide whether or not she is Jerry's captive or his accomplice.
Jerry: Focus, sweet Sam. I'm only playing this to keep your mind off your fate. I mean, maybe a well-placed bullet would be more effective. What do you think?
Sam: I'm doing my part. You do yours. I get another question.
Jerry: Ask away.
Sam: Were you serious when you said you wanted to turn your life around, or were you just lying to everyone, including my mother?
Jerry: Well, I did try, I suppose. I mean, my intentions were sincere, within reason. I didn't intend to entirely live within the narrow confines of the law. I wanted mostly to avoid violence. You know what? I soon realized that -- I didn't have the straight and narrow gene, and despite your protestations, neither do you, darling. So, in a way, I'm doing you a favor. I'm -- I'm allowing you to be your true self. I'm completing you. You see, we both are liars by nature. We're survivors. We're predators. We thrive on taking terrifying chances. We do it for the adrenaline. We do it for the rush. We do it for the power.
Sam: I am not like you.
Jerry: Yes, yes. We live in the moment, you see, and when we try to change things, we only end up hurting ourselves and the people that we love. We're a bit like the captive tiger who for no apparent reason rips his keeper to shreds. I mean, he's just a tiger, you know. He's not doing anything wrong. His drive is pure intuition, not love. Like us, he bides his time and waits for the right moment to attack, you see?
Man's voice: Freighter Gibraltar, your distress signal has been received. Cut your motors. We are preparing to board.
[Sam yelps]
Nikolas: Yeah, they're fine. Do you -- do you have the coordinates? Great, thank you. The chopper's on its way.
Lucky: How did you guys find such great shelter?
Luke: Your mother found it.
Laura: Oh, don't give me too much credit. I was angry, and I stomped off into the wilderness. I didn't even really have any idea where I was going.
Lulu: Do we want to know what she was angry about?
Luke: What do you think, Lulu?
Laura: You know, I still can't believe that you kids participated in that charade of a wedding when you knew that your father was married to Tracy Quartermaine.
Luke: Darling, in all fairness, they didn't know. At least, at the time they didn't know. I told everyone that I had been to the Dominican Republic and gotten a divorce from Tracy, so your kids had no idea that the wedding was -- symbolic.
Laura: I think "fake" is the word you were looking for. Look, I know that you did it -- uh -- with my best interest at heart, but listen, I really want to know that that's never ever going to happen again.
Nikolas: Agreed.
Laura: I don't know if my life is going to be about going from a cycle of awareness to oblivion. I don't know if that's going to happen, but if it does, it's so important to me that you tell me the truth -- about my life, and I would like to know the truth about yours.
Lucky: I'm sorry.
Laura: It's all right. Just don't do that again. I want to enjoy every minute that I have with you from now on.
Nikolas: It's just -- Mom, so much has happened since you were -- since you were away.
Laura: You don't have to say "away." You can say "sick, out of it," whatever you want. I'm past needing all the polite euphemisms, you know?
Nikolas: Okay. It's just all that matters right now is that you're back --
Lulu: So, if you're back together with Mom, where does that leave Tracy?
[Helicopter approaching]
Lucky: Let's go.
Tracy: Let me know as soon as you got an eta. Well, Luke and Laura have been found. They're in good shape. Actually, their children found them.
Scott: Oh, good. That's great. Well, you must be a little upset, because you were sort of hoping for a relapse with Laura, right?
Tracy: I don't want anything bad to happen to Laura, if only for her daughter, Lulu. You remember, the innocent girl that you've been tormenting?
Scott: Well, I wasn't going to prosecute her because of Laura. We were having a good time. Things were working, and then Spencer showed up.
Tracy: Just think of it as a temporary interruption.
Scott: Well, if that's the case, good. If not, and they end up together, down the road, maybe you and I might ignite that old flame that we once had for each other.
Tracy: Scott, why are we in L.A.? Oh, that's right, so that you can convince Laura to choose you over Luke.
Scott: Well, I lost. I tried. Spencer won.
Tracy: Uh-uh. You're giving up?
Scott: The milk has gone sour, and I am not the kitty cat that's going to lick that up. Luke and Laura will go off into the sunset. I will go back, and I will arrest people, and you will sit alone, drinking Cuba libres.
Tracy: Ha, don't count on it.
Patrick: Hey, Elizabeth.
Patrick: I didn't get a page after Robin's test. I'm -- I'm hoping that's good news.
Elizabeth: Well, Epiphany heard you were dozing off in the nursery. She didn't want to wake you.
Anna: Has there been any change?
Elizabeth: Her vitals are low, but they're steady.
Anna: Okay, thanks. Good.
Elizabeth: We're praying for her, okay?
Patrick: Thanks, Elizabeth.
Anna: Well, that's good. She's holding her own, yeah?
Anna: Don't do the doctor thing. Just tell me.
Patrick: She's got D.I.C., which means her blood won't clot, which means all the damage from the emergency C-section can't heal. She's just going to keep -- keep bleeding.
Anna: Don't the transfusions help?
Patrick: They're keeping her alive, but we can't transfuse indefinitely. So, as a doctor, I know the longer D.I.C. lasts, the more of a chance it becomes fatal.
Anna: Well, don't think like a doctor, then. Think like a father and a husband. Don't you dare give up on my daughter, and don't you go in that room thinking that she's going to leave us, because she's not. And you figure out a way to believe that. Patrick?
Robin: How's our daughter?
Carly: Jax, wait. Don't -- please, understand. Okay, Sonny was here last night when you came by, but nothing happened.
Jax: And you lied to be with him.
Carly: No, no. I lied, because I didn't want to have this fight, because I knew you would be jealous and jump to conclusions.
Jax: Well, there's only one possible conclusion. No matter how much you say you want to be with me, I'm always the one who gets put off and lied to, and then you expect me to take you back.
Carly: I'm not doing any of this to hurt you.
Jax: Carly, you refuse to make the choice between a life with me and a life on whatever level with Sonny, and I refuse to live like that.
Carly: No, no. Look, don't give up. Please, don't give up. Just give me this one night, just this one night.
Jax: No. You're addicted to Sonny. You'll do whatever it takes to be with him. No.
Carly: Nothing happened last night, I swear.
Jax: Just forget about last night. Just sign the papers.
Carly: Jax!
Spinelli: While the Jackal does not relish thinking the worst of fair Samantha, she does have a history of questionable choices when disappointed in love. Darth Lansing comes to mind.
Jason: So you think Sam teamed up with Jerry when things went bad with Lucky?
Spinelli: Given her colorful history and her con-artist past -- I mean, we must question, in the vernacular, who is zooming who. I mean, perhaps when the vanished one -- she was actually trying to live a law-abiding life, but when she found herself in jail, made the impulsive choice to cross over to the dark side and --
Jason: The only problem with this theory is why would she leave this detonator behind? If she's working with Jerry, she would never be that careless.
Spinelli: Well, then, perhaps what appeared to be affection to the nosy neighbor was in fact coercion, and fair Samantha left behind the telltale fragment as a clue and a cry for help.
Jerry: I'm so sorry. I -- I never meant to send the distress call on the radio. So sorry.
Officer: Well, sending out a false SOS is a serious offense.
Jerry: Well, I'll gladly pay the fine. I mean, I -- I apologize for doing such stupid incidents. I'm sorry.
Officer: Well, your radio seems to be in perfect working order. It didn't trigger the beacon on its own.
Jerry: Well -- well, you're putting me in an awkward position. I -- I'll tell you exactly what happened. My girlfriend and I were -- were enjoying ourselves, and we must have accidentally triggered the call for help.
Officer: Well, where is your girlfriend now?
Jerry: Well, she made a mad dash to the shower as soon as she heard the bullhorn. I mean, do you want to speak to her? I mean, she's terribly embarrassed. I'll be glad to call her if you want, I mean -
Officer: No, we'll let it go for now, but in the future, be more careful.
Jerry: Oh, we will, absolutely. Absolutely. Thank you so much. Thank you, Officer.
Officer: Thank you for your cooperation.
Jerry: My pleasure, my pleasure. Goodbye.
Mac: What have we got?
Harper: A warehouse security guard called it in. Nobody saw anything. Nobody heard any gunshots.
Mac: No, they never do.
Harper: He's got a wallet and cash on him.
Mac: You know who this is. Looks like Sonny Corinthos finally got his revenge.
Olivia: Hey, have you been in my cousin's room tonight?
Elizabeth: Actually, I'm just updating her chart now. She's doing really well.
Olivia: Um, was Sonny in there with her?
Elizabeth: No, I haven't seen him.
Elizabeth: Are you okay?
Olivia: The night my cousin was shot, that quiet guy, that Jason, he -- he dragged you into my cousin's room and used her as exhibit "A" on all the reasons why not to be with a guy in the mob.
Elizabeth: I'm sorry we made a bad night even worse.
Olivia: How can you be with a guy like that? A guy who can take a human life like it was nothing more than changing his socks. Like, just, no remorse, no second thoughts -- just -- just bang, bang, somebody's dead, and it's all in a day's work.
Sonny: I need an alibi.
Carly: You did it, didn't you?
Sonny: Did what?
Carly: You killed Karpov.
Sonny: The cops are going to be looking for me, if they aren't already.
Carly: You destroyed my life tonight. Give me one good reason why I don't call the cops and destroy yours.
Patrick: Emma's doing great, and she's surviving my fathering skills, which are mediocre at best.
Anna: Come on. No, he's doing really well. Very, very good.
Patrick: I'm trying to put behind that whole Lamaze experience.
Robin: Oh, right, when you beheaded the doll in the class.
Anna: Oh, my goodness. I didn't even know that was possible.
Patrick: You're not supposed to tell people that.
Robin: Well, it doesn't matter, because you're doing well now, and you'll give him all the help that he'll ever need.
Patrick: Do you know it helps to hold the baby like a football?
Robin: Oh, my.
Patrick: Yeah, Matt told me that.
Anna: Go get Emma.
Patrick: Now?
Anna: Mm-hmm, yeah, Mommy needs to see her.
Patrick: Okay. See you.
Robin: It's difficult for him. I wish I could help him.
Anna: Well, don't wish, do it. And stop doling out final instructions. Patrick is too exhausted to pick up on it, but I'm your mother, and I can hear you saying goodbye.
Robin: Mom --
Anna: I don't know what you're thinking. I won't have it, Robin. You have been through too much, and you have beaten the odds too many times to give up now.
Robin: I'm just so tired.
Anna: Then you take my hand. Come on. Take it. Get your strength from me. I won't allow you to quit. You want to be a mother and raise a daughter with Patrick. Well, you can. All you have to do is stick around and enjoy it, and don't do it for me. Don't do it for Patrick. But for that little girl. Emma really needs you. You understand?
