Kate: Well. This part of you hasn't changed -- the way that you can shut down, disengage. When we were kids, it used to confuse me and anger me, but at least now I know why you did it -- so you couldn't be hurt by your stepfather.
Sonny: I -- I don't want to --
Kate: Or anyone else, Sonny. I know the need to make yourself feel numb, to make yourself feel dead inside.
Boy: Yo, you looking to party?
Lucky: What?
Boy: I got all kinds of pills, bro -- you know, whatever floats your boat. You know, some uppers, some downers -- yo, man, what the hell? What are you doing?
Lucky: You think you're the candy man, huh? Well, guess what -- I got two kids, and I can think of a whole lot of words to call you.
Boy: What are you going to do, man?
Lucky: You don't want to find out. Get out of here -- get out of here, your party's over!
Carly: Ok, I'm sorry if I was coming on too strong.
Jax: No --
Carly: But I miss you, I haven't seen you in so long, and I'm ovulating and you're freaking me out -- please don't bail on me.
Jax: No, no, no, I'm not bailing on you. I just -- I -- I'd like to participate.
Carly: Oh! Ok! Here you go. Take me, I'm yours.
Jax: Um -- I have my own ideas about this. I just --
Carly: Great! I would love to hear them. What do you have in there -- handcuffs?
Jax: No, it's a fertility icon. There's a -- there's a story behind this. Ahem -- according to the Hawaiians, legend has it that this woman, who has suffered through a -- she suffered through a great war, and she lost faith in the world and herself, until she met this -- this healer. She couldn't conceive until she met him, and -- and he restored her trust, right? I mean, this is -- this is a growing alternative in this -- in this sci-fi fertility technology age that we're going through. I mean, there's actually documented cases of this. This really works.
Carly: Ok. Well, am I supposed to wear it while we're having sex?
Jax: No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Faith alone isn't enough. No, no. There -- there are rituals.
Carly: Oh. What kind of rituals?
Jax: First, you have to -- your entire body gets covered in this warm poultice. Ok?
Carly: That doesn't sound so bad.
Jax: Right, it's -- it's made of herbs and a -- a part of a goat.
Carly: Well, what part of the goat?
Jax: I don't know -- it's not -- it's not really important.
Carly: It's important to the goat.
Jax: No, no, no, it's not -- it's not important. Um -- you have to lie in a dark room with just one candle lit. And you have a bunch of palm leaves, and then you take the palm leaves, and you lash yourself.
Carly: I lash myself? Isn't that a bit barbaric?
Jax: Not compared to artificial insemination. I mean, think about that. There's actually documented proof of this, you know? It stimulates circulation, and -- and it brings up -- um -- pheromone -- pheromone levels.
Carly: Ok, so I -- I lie there and I smear poultice all over my body while I beat myself with palm fronds --
Jax: While reciting an ancient prayer -- that's the most important part. Then you lie there. I come into the room, right?
Carly: Right
Jax: This -- this is important. When I come into the room, you say, "oh --" you have to really project -- "oh, big kahuna of fertility, come take me, your -- your goat-smelly super mama!"
Carly: Ok!
[Jax laughs]
Carly: That's not funny! You're making fun of me! I mean, is this stupid thing even a fertility icon anyway?
Jax: Yeah, that actually is a fertility icon, yeah -- and it worked, see? Now we're all relaxed, we're having fun, we're laughing. Come on, that was the whole point. Let the ancestors worry about your fertility, and we'll just -- we'll just concentrate on each other, ok? Let's concentrate on loving each other.
Kate: Running away has become second nature to me, Sonny, for reasons that run a lot deeper than preserving the image of Kate Howard.
Sonny: What reasons? I want to hear them.
Kate: Sonny, look, if I wanted -- that was all I wanted, I -- I would've run away a long time ago -- when I first got fired from "Couture," and I wouldn't be here again, trying to find a way to break through this impenetrable wall that you're putting up. I wouldn't be here trying to find common ground for us to start again, and I think -- I think I have a way.
[Splash]
Lucky: You were there the whole time? Watching, wondering what I would do? Wondering if I'd take those pills, wondering if you could trust me to be with Jake. You know, I'd like to swear I'd never take another pill, but that's a dangerous road for a recovering drug addict. But you could be with the person day in, day out, look them in the eye, into the heart, think you'd know them and be dead wrong. But I don't have to tell you that.
Alexis: Kate will be fine.
Diane: Did we give her anything even resembling good advice?
Alexis: I did, you didn't.
Diane: Thank you.
Alexis: But, really, what advice can you give regarding Sonny?
Diane: None -- run! Her first instinct was correct. Because of her relationship with Sonny, she lost a career that she worked all her life for, stature few women ever achieve.
Alexis: Clearly, that wasn't enough.
Diane: Oh, please. Alexis, women like us don't need the love of a good man to complete us.
Alexis: We don't?
Diane: No! We need a nice, soft pillow, a good steak, and a glass of wine.
Alexis: And sex.
Diane: Well, you need that.
Alexis: Lots of sex.
Diane: Yeah.
Alexis: What were we talking about?
Diane: Kate.
Alexis: Ah, Kate.
Diane: She's so nice.
Alexis: Could Kate be the one?
Diane: The one to finally tame Sonny?
Sonny: What common ground are you talking about?
Kate: Your children -- in particular, your boys, since you share custody with them.
Sonny: What about them?
Kate: Sonny, when I think about the complications of being in your life, I think about your kids -- and what a wonderful job you've done with them. I mean, we all know that I -- I think they can be a little rambunctious, but they are good boys. It is so clear that they are loved, and that comes from you. They're a reflection of the best in you.
Sonny: They already have a mother.
Kate: Sonny, by no means was I suggesting that I would try to take Carly's place.
Sonny: You couldn't because you're a phony, and I wouldn't want my children anywhere near you.
Carly: Have I ever told you that you're a very, very smart man?
Jax: Well, not enough.
Carly: No? You're right -- sometimes you just have to let go.
Jax: Yeah.
[Music plays]
Singer: Another day dawns curtains drawn and I hate the loneliness I don't want to wake up without you and feel it how could I give my heart away all over when you've taken everything that's left in me that I had to give? Never said it's over when you disappear
Singers: Oh-oh-oh yeah, yeah
Singer: All through the night alone in my sleep have I kept with regret you in my dreams? All through the night alone in my sleep and I wish I could let you go but it's frightening that I can't live if I don't
Singers: Oh-oh-oh
Singer: I can't live if I don't another day, brood darkness bloomed and my tears stain the sink can I pretend this isn't how it will always be? How can I give my heart away all over when you've taken everything that's left in me that I had to give? Never said it's over when you disappear
Singer: All through the night
Kate: Sonny, why are you doing this?
Sonny: So you get the message this time. Get on a plane, go back to Manhattan, to your phony life, your phony friends, because that's where you belong. And stay the hell out of my life!
Singer: It's frightening I can't live if I don't
Singer: I can't live if I don't another day dawns and I don't want to get up
>> On the next "general hospital" --
Luke: I'm home!
Monica: Not anymore, you're not.
Sam: I was getting worried. Where have you been?
Jason: I'm not sure that Cooper was really the text message killer.
Bartender: The lady would like to buy you a drink.

Edward: You're not doing yourself any favors here, Monica. You know, the pain is still going to be here after the effects of this are gone.
Monica: Yeah, well, I will grab relief anywhere i can get it.
Luke: Hello, family-in-law! I'm home!
Elizabeth: Lucky, I thought you left.
Lucky: I did.
Elizabeth: Have you seen Sam?
Lucky: No. I was just sitting here wondering how many mistakes one man can make.
Nikolas: You believe it was him?
Jason: What do you mean? Nikolas: Do you believe that Cooper Barrett is the one who strangled Emily?
Jason: Don't you?
Carly: See? I told you.
Jax: Fine, get it off your chest.
Carly: I'm going to because I knew it all along. I knew that Coop killed Leticia. I knew he was the one texting me that night at the ball and I should've killed the bastard when I had the chance.
Sonny: Scotch.
Bartender: Need another one?
Woman: Maybe one more. The night could get interesting after all.
Sonny: Thank you.
Lucky: You know, I left here with all that stuff that you told me about sam. And i couldn't get it out of my mind -- the things she did, the lies, the games, the stunts she pulled -- the things that everybody kept from me again. I just walked around. I went home. I -- I looked in the window and sam -- she was sitting there at the table, candles lit.
Elizabeth: Ok, I don't need to hear this, I don't want to hear this.
Lucky: Yes, you do. Because you and me, that's where all of this started -- or rather with me. You know, if i would've trusted you to be around patrick, if i would've tried to listen to you when you were telling me the truth instead of later when you started telling me lies, we'd be in a whole different place. You know, i don't know if it would've made a difference or not about my drugs, but i don't think i ever would've cheated on you with maxie. That's something that i have to live with every day, and i'm -- i'm sorry.
Elizabeth: You don't have to apologize again.
Lucky: No, i just have to make sense of this mess. I got to make sense of this whole mess my world is in. You know, we could still -- we could still be married. We could still be in love the way we used to be. I could have a son or a daughter that could really be mine.
Elizabeth: Lucky, i lied to you, i kept lying to you. No matter how justified that was in my own head, people who love each other don't do that.
Lucky: We are lying to a whole lot of people that we love every day -- about jake.
Elizabeth: To protect him.
Lucky: You know, you tried to protect me by letting me believe that he was mine. You tried to protect me by holding back the truth about sam and what she's capable of doing. At least you had an excuse. What excuse does sam have?
Elizabeth: When you came home and you found us arguing, i was so annoyed that sam had been left alone with jake. Lucky, she said she loved you.
Lucky: It makes the whole situation worse.
Nikolas: Well, it says here in the paper that there's D.N.A. evidence linking the police cadet who hung himself to georgie's murder.
Jason: Alexis made a statement from the D.A.'s Office -- case is closed. They believe cooper killed leticia and georgie and that he attacked carly and maxie.
Nikolas: But what about emily?
Jason: What -- what are you asking me?
Max: I'm sorry to interrupt. I need to have a word with you.
Nikolas: I'll -- i'll go.
Jason: No, no, no, no. No, please stay. I'll -- i'll be right back.
Max: Ahem.
Emily: You want to know if jason still thinks you're the one that killed me, don't you?
Jason: So where is he?
Max: Milo called in. Sonny had milo drop him off at a lounge called the red room.
Jason: Ok, keep a couple guys out front, make sure nobody follows sonny inside. I do not want anyone to take advantage of the situation.
Jax: You know, whether coop was guilty or not, i just -- i don't like the fact that you were actually ready to shoot him.
Carly: If i would've, emily would still be alive, so would georgie jones, and i almost died that night.
Jax: Yes, and if there would've been no evidence pointing towards coop being the killer, then you would've gone to jail. Hmm? How do you think your children would feel about that? Michael already lives on the fringe of enough violence in his life with his father and with jason, and it's affecting him -- you know that. I mean, he wants to be like his father. He's too young to wrap his head around it and still be ok. When he fights in school, that's his way of acting out, and that's just the stuff we know about. He needs more stability.
Carly: Ok. You know what? I don't plan on shooting anyone anytime soon.
Jax: Oh, well, i'm really glad to hear that, that's very mature of you.
Carly: I think michael will behave differently when he finds out he may be having a little brother or a little sister.
Jax: Well. Has our ugly little friend --
[carly laughs]
jax: Been whispering sweet things in your ear?
Carly: No -- only you're allowed to do that. I love you. I really want this for us, you know.
Jax: Hey, if all we ever have is what we have right now,i'll be happy for the rest of my life. I got to go.
Carly: Do you have to go?
Jax: Yeah, i just want to check on the spa renovations. I got to meet with the contractor and all that stuff. At least i can leave you home, you know, safe. I don't have to worry about you, somebody coming after you, ok?
Carly: Yes.
Jax: A lot of women are going to sleep well tonight.
Carly: Oh. Here, it's cold out there.
Jax: Thank you -- oh, sweet. Thanks. Bye.
Carly: Bye.
Carly: Oh --
[Footsteps]
kate: Can i help you?
Daniel: Sorry to stare. You're kate howard, right?
Kate: Yes, i am.
Daniel: I wonder if i could buy you a cup of coffee sometime.
Kate: I -- don't know.
Daniel: It would be business.
Kate: Business?
Daniel: I'm a photographer -- i mean, i take pictures -- of women. I've got lots of them i could show you. I'm sorry, this isn't coming out right.
daniel: I didn't mean to bother you.
Jax: Kate, hey.
Kate: Hey.
Jax: You ok?
Kate: That's a hard question jax.
Jax: Well, that kid from the coffee shop, right -- daniel?
Kate: Yeah. Apparently, a budding photographer or a fan or a stalker -- i'm not quite sure which and i don't know much these days. So, what -- jax, what are you doing all the way out here?
Jax: I've got a meeting with my contractor to go over a few changes and -- you know? What are you doing here? I thought -- i thought you went back to manhattan.
Kate: Yeah, i did.
Jax: Ok.
Kate: I miss brownstones. You know, i miss the smell of bread baking in some kitchen and wafting off through the windows. Can you smell it -- someone is baking bread right now.
Jax: Yes, i can, absolutely. It's just not something i thought kate howard would notice.
Kate: Well, that's because you don't know me, jax. You don't know me at all. There's only one person who knows me and i think i lost him.
Bartender: This is also from the lady.
Luke: You tossed my pretty pink popsicle to the wolves?
Edward: Pity the poor wolves.
Monica: And you can follow right behind her.
Alice: Mr. Luke, you're back!
Luke: Hello.
Edward: Hey, hey, hey, don't make him feel welcome because he's not.
Alice: Hi.
Luke: Hi. Look, i know that you and tracy have had your problems.
Monica: She's suing me for malpractice -- for your quadruple bypass.
Edward: Which you wouldn't need if you hadn't led the life of a reprobate -- i'll take that, i bought these.
Monica: Or if you had listened to dr. Julian or myself. Yes, i went into the o.R. Shaken by emily's death, and -- and yes, you almost died on that table. But you would've died in your bed if i hadn't started operating.
Luke: Look, i'll talk to tracy and we'll get all of this straightened out --
monica: No, not good enough, luke, because i don't care if you and your larcenous wife live in a box in an alley somewhere.
Lulu: Dad?
Luke: Oh, hi, baby.
Lulu: You're home. I'm so glad that you're ok.
Luke: I'm fine. You planning to throw my daughter out in the snow, too?
Lulu: What's going on?
Monica: If you spent the night here once in a while, you might know.
Luke: Apparently, there's some trouble with your stepmother.
Edward: Oh, not just tracy, you.
Monica: Yeah.
Edward: Mm-hmm.
Monica: You helped her forge alan's will Lulu: Dad?
Luke: Really? Well, if i did -- uh -- well, we can just reshuffle all the cash and give everybody --
monica: Oh, come on, it's not about the cash, luke. It is about my husband's last thoughts, his last wishes. Now, he's gone, emily is gone, and i really want you and tracy gone.
Edward: But you -- you can stay, my dear, because we certainly don't want you winding up in whatever disreputable hellhole your father might choose to call home. But you, sir -- you are out of here.
Lulu: My dad goes, i go, too.
Nikolas: You keep telling me that i wouldn't hurt you.
Emily: You wouldn't.
Nikolas: Well, if that's true, then someone walked in the ballroom when i was struggling with you. Now, i know i was in a rage and i don't remember, but i don't think i would just allow someone to walk in and hurt you.
Emily: Right, so they hit you, nikolas -- that's how your blood got all over my dress.
Nikolas: Well, if -- if it was coop, then i should be able to plug that into the equation and -- but i don't remember anything.
Emily: All right, so maybe you're not thinking about this in the right way.
Nikolas: What -- what do you mean?
Emily: Maybe you need to re-create the moment with me.
nikolas: What do you mean, "re-create the moment"?
Emily: I mean get angry, nikolas. Get angry with me and try to make me leave this room and then something might come back to you.
Nikolas: No, i can't.
Emily: Nikolas, you didn't hurt me before, ok, and you're not going to hurt me now. You couldn't hurt me now even if you wanted to. Please, nikolas, just do this and let's see what you see.
Jason: Ok, listen, i -- i want the men to keep their eyes and their ears open. There's been no movement whatsoever on the part of the zaccharas since their ship exploded.
Max: Right -- there's a hotel there.
Jason: And?
Max: The red room, where mr. C is? It's a -- it's a bar and a hotel. It's a place where out-of-town businessmen go to --
jason: I know -- i know what they go there for, max.
[Max sighs] Look -- look, i like kate, you know, not just because she wasn't mrs. C and i, you know, didn't have to deal with my feelings of how i felt around her. I just thought that she --
jason: Just thought that she what?
Max: I don't know. I just -- i thought kate had more going on for her than anybody knew.
Jax: I'm sure you being upset has something to do with sonny? I'm probably not the best person to talk to about him since i don't have any kind things to say about him, you know?
Kate: Well, sonny can have an unkind way about him when he's hurt.
Jax: Well, i don't think anyone can hurt him.
Kate: I do. I hurt him very badly.
Jax: Well, i'm sure he'll get over it, you know.
Kate: Oh, i'm not sure he will.
Jax: You know, this isn't the kate howard i know. Very few women have accomplished what you have. Your magazine is available in, what, four languages on five different continents? I mean, you're beautiful, you're -- you're smart. You could have a conversation with anyone from a european countess to a guy working, you know, behind the counter of a coffee shop.
Kate: Oh --
jax: What? Are you -- you ok?
Kate: Jax, you just described everything i wanted when i was growing up.
Jax: And that's what you are, kate.
Kate: Well, i'm something else, too. I'm a complete fraud.
Sonny: Bartender?
Sam: Hey. I was getting worried.Where have you been?
Lucky: I had a lot of thinking to do.
Sam: I called you.
Lucky: I know. Looks like i spoiled your surprise.
Sam: No, it's -- it's ok. We'll -- we will have other nights.
Lucky: What's the occasion?
Sam: I think i've been withholding things from you. I just -- i think i've been afraid.
Lucky: Of what?
Sam: Ooh -- of what? Of -- feeling. But you're right. I -- i've got to trust you.
Lucky: Can i trust you?
Sam: You know how this all started.
Lucky, come on, part of the attraction to you was a way at getting back at jason and elizabeth.You said you knew and -- and you didn't care, but i need you to know that things have changed for me. What i feel for you has absolutely nothing to do with anything but what's going on between us, and i -- i never expected to feel like this for you. But i do, and i have to tell you that i couldn't be happier.And i want you to be happy, too. I want -- i want us to be happy together.
Jax: Kate, you're one of the most genuine people i've ever known.
Kate: Yeah, well, good -- that means i fooled you, too. I mean, fashion -- it's a world of flash and fantasy, right? It's all a little bit larger than life but doesn't warrant a closer -- or tolerate a closer examination. But, really, underneath all the hype and the attitude, it's just a whole lot of fabrication, isn't it?
Jax: Kate, there is a certain amount of necessary insincerity in business -- that just goes without saying.
Kate: Well, yes, yes, but when people are dealing with jasper jacks, they know exactly what they're getting. The same can't be said about kate howard.
Jax: You're losing me.
Kate: Oh, jax, i'm sorry. I don't mean to, i -- i don't want to. I consider you a friend and i don't have many -- i mean, real friends --
jax: Oh, that's not true.
Kate: Not one, no.
Jax: No, that's not true -- it can't be true.
Kate: No, it is true. I mean, a real friend is someone who knows you better than you know yourself, right? Someone you share things with, someone you share the good, the bad, and the ugly, the ugly truth.
[Kate sighs] I'm just so tired of pretending, jax.
Jax: Pretending what?
[Sonny sighs]
[music plays]
sonny: Whew.
Woman: I'm perfectly fine. I've been walking and talking on my own now for quite sometime. My flight got in early. I'm at the executor hotel. I'll meet the car out front with my bags.
Bartender: The gentleman already took care of you.
Woman: Did he?
Alice: You know, i got a friend, margie the mangler -- she lives by the wrestle dome.You can bunk with her for a while.
Luke: Oh, thanks, alice. I'll keep ms. Mangler in mind.
Alice: Ok.
Luke: So where are you spending your nights?
Lulu: Oh, thank you -- i'm starving.
Luke: Should i be worried about you?
Lulu: No more than you usually do. How did you do it?
Luke: Oh, well, you know me and money.
Tracy took one look at that will --
lulu: I mean sneaking out of the hospital.
Luke: Oh, that. Well, i -- i needed space.
Lulu: From the people that love you?
Luke: From the gray creamed corn and the scalpels -- and yeah, the hovering hordes, as well.
Lulu: Is that really how you see us? Or are you just so afraid of needing us because you might actually have to return the favor someday?
Luke: You're moving this off subject.
Lulu: I can stay with nikolas or with logan, or you and i can both stay with lucky.
Luke: I think we would cramp his style.
Tracy: "His style," or yours?
Emily: You have to do this, nikolas.
Nikolas: No, i can't, i can't.
Emily: Listen to me, what did the doctors tell you about the tumor?
Nikolas: That it's -- it's pushing on the part of my brain that's causing hallucinations.
Emily: Ok. Do you believe that's all i am?
Nikolas: I don't want to.
Emily: Do you believe that i'm a product of our love?
Nikolas: Yes.
Emily: Ok, and that i'm a part of you?
Emily: Then maybe i'm the part that's trying to show you the truth, nikolas. Maybe i'm the part that you can't remember on your own, the part that knows you're not --
nikolas: What if -- what if you're the lie of my mind, the part that's trying to protect me?
Emily: All right, well, then you're not going to know unless you try.
Nikolas, i came into the ballroom that night, all right, and then you said, "you have to leave me right now, i can't protect you anymore. You can't stay here." Ok? Say it.
Nikolas: Ok. You have to leave. I can't protect you --
emily: No, nikolas, come on! Get angry with me!
Nikolas: You have to leave. I can't protect you anymore. You can't stay here.
Emily: I never should've left you.
Nikolas: Don't you understand, huh? You understand what you've done? I'm the one you need to be afraid of -- me!
Emily: You could never hurt me.
Nikolas: No, listen, you have to leave. You have to leave! You can't stay here anymore! I can't protect you!
Emily: I'm not going to leave you.
Nikolas: Please get out of here!
Emily: Ok, what is it? Who do you see?
Jan 31, 2008 10:15
Jason: Who were you yelling at?
Nikolas: Uh -- i was just trying to put myself back at the moment before -- before i blacked out and lost emily. I was trying to figure out what happened -- how my blood got on her mask and gown.
Jason: Well, maybe she hit you with something.
Nikolas: She wouldn't do that.
Jason: How do you know that?
Nikolas: Because i know. I know that she wouldn't do that to me any more than -- any more than i would hurt her. I couldn't have killed her, jason, there has to be someone else.
Jason: Cooper. Was he there?
Nikolas: I don't -- i don't know. I can't -- i can't see him there.
[Jason sighs]
nikolas: Tell me, are you sure? Are you 100% sure that coop is emily's killer?
Jason: No.
Nikolas: Do you think it was me?
Jason: No, i don't.
Nikolas: See? Then we have a problem. Then we all have a problem.
Luke: Spanky, you look incredible.
[Tracy sighs]
luke: No, i mean it. You -- you just look so great. I heard they kicked you out on your sweet little keister.
Edward: We did.
Tracy: Yes, and in your haste to put all my possessions in a cardboard box, you forgot the jewelry mother gave me.
Edward: Don't you touch one more thing that belongs to lila because if you do, i know you'll just pawn it!
Tracy: Actually, i was going to pawn my wedding ring but i could only get a night at the y out of it.
Monica: What is this litigious cow doing back in my house?
Tracy: You're withholding my property.
Monica: I am going to drag you out of here myself.
Alice: Oh, no, i'll do it --it's my job to take out the trash.
Edward: I want you both out of here at once.
Tracy: Not without my pearls.
Luke: Edward, lila would feel so badly about this animosity. Monica: This is my house!
Lulu: Stop! Come on, you guys always have to fight?
Edward: It's a family tradition.
Monica: All right, i will give you five minutes, then i'm calling the police and have them drag you out!
Edward: And when they do, if you find any silver or jewelry dropping out of your pockets, you will be arrested for theft.
Lulu: Well, you probably want to hash this out with my dad so i'm going to go pack a couple of things and go. I'm very glad that you're back. I hope you find a reason this time to stay, but don't worry -- i won't count on it.
Tracy: Where are you going?
Luke: She said she won't stay if i'm not staying. Look, i -- i talked to monica and i told her that i'd get you to drop the -- the malpractice suit and -- and also that we'd take another look at alan's will. And we'll divvy up all that money and put it back where it belongs and everything can go back to normal. What do you say?
Tracy: How do you feel?
Luke: Not bad.
Tracy: Really?
Luke: Yeah, really.
Tracy: Good.
Luke: Oh!
Kate: Oh, do you know how long it's been since i just sat on a stoop like this? I was just a girl, a restless dreamer who couldn't wait to get the hell away from the smell of bread or whatever else was on her neighborhood street.
Jax: I thought you were born abroad.
Kate: Oh, yeah. Well, that's good and vague, isn't it? "Abroad" -- it covers a whole multitude of possible bad breeding. No, one would look at kate howard and assume that "abroad" meant london or rome, swaddled in silks. But what it really means is "a broad." Two words -- "a broad." Yeah, no silver spoons, no designer silks. No, the most exotic thing in my household was my dad -- swearing to the garbage man in italian.
Jax: Have you been drinking?
Kate: No.
[Jax chuckles]
kate: No, i am painfully sober, jax. I'm painfully aware of the enormous truth that i've been hiding fromyself and from the world.
Jax: What truth?
Kate: Ok, first, you have to promise that you won't tell a living soul what i'm about to tell you.
Singer: You said you love me you said you love me but then you left me but then you left me
sonny's voice: Kate howard/connie falconeri, will you please do me the honor of being my wife I'm not going to beg you. So if you can't say yes, don't bother saying no.
singer: You left me but then you left me your love is like the sun it tears into my soul and now that you are gone
carly: Michael, can you come down here for a minute, please?
Michael: Ok, what did i do now?
Carly: Oh, nothing, sweetie. You didn't do anything. I just wanted to talk to you for a minute. I know how upset you were after what happened to leticia and emily.
Michael: And you. But don't worry, i'm going to protect you.
Carly: Oh -- that is so brave and sweet of you, but you don't have to protect me. The man who did those horrible things -- honey, he's -- uh -- he's dead.
Michael: Did dad and jason get to him?
Carly: No. No, he was a very sick, guilty man and he took his own life.
Michael: But there are other bad guys out there, right?
Carly: Well, yeah. But we don't have to worry about this one.
Michael: Can i go back upstairs now?
Carly: Sure, go ahead.
Lucky: I want to believe you. But i know i can't.
Sam: Whoa, whoa, i don't understand.
Lucky: I didn't, either. I know there were a lot of hard feelings between you and jason and elizabeth and i had no idea why.
Sam: I already -- i don't care about that anymore. I already -- i told you. I even went to elizabeth today to try and make peace.
Lucky: I know.
Sam: "You know"? What -- what do you mean? She told you?
Lucky: She told me a lot of things -- some very ugly things.
Sam: But you -- i mean, you can't believe anything that she says. She doesn't want us to be together, she doesn't want us to be happy.
Lucky: She doesn't want our children in danger. That's why she freaked out when she came home and found you alone with jake. I mean, what if -- what if it did get out that jason was jake's father and somebody grabbed him and ran off with him and then you stood by and let it happen -- like that day you did in the park? Luke: Well, that wasn't exactly the welcome i had in mind.
Tracy: Well, this isn't exactly the marriage i had in mind -- in fact, i never had a marriage with you in mind at all. And then i woke up one hideous morning in a cheap hotel room in las vegas with a whopper of a hangover and a whopper of a ring on my finger. And since then, it has been nothing but one underhanded game after another and watching you run off and play slap-and-tickle with any woman stupid enough to fall for your line of crap!
Luke: Tracy, what married couple don't go through rough patches?
Tracy: Luke, either you divorce me or you run off again, and this time, stay gone for seven years so i can declare you dead because as far as i'm concerned, that's exactly what you are.
sonny: Been waiting all night, thought you weren't showing up. A man like me does not like to be kept waiting.
Woman: And i don't like to be taken care of in a bar.
Sonny: What do you like?
Woman: If you have to ask, then i came to the wrong room.
Sonny: Where you going?
Singer: You said that you always would love me you said that you
jax: What's this mystery about?
Kate: Me, and if you care about me and you care about kate howard, you will do as i ask.
Jax: Fine. I promise i won't tell anyone.
Kate: No, including -- and especially -- carly. Can you do that?
Carly: Hey.
Jason: Hey. Is jax around?
Carly: Uh -- no. No, he's out for a while. Why? Is it jake? Is he ok?
Jason: You know, you can't keep saying that every time i see you.
Carly: I'm sorry, ok? I'm -- i'm sorry. What's wrong, then? Why are you here?
Jason: Ok, i -- i really have nothing to back this up but instinct.
Carly: Instinct? Ok, well, i trust your instinct.
Jason: I'm not sure that cooper was really the text message killer.
Nikolas: She's -- she's sleeping. I don't even know why i'm here, other than she was your best friend.
Emily: Nikolas, she was our best friend. You need to go see her. You need to see her, your brother, your son. It's time for you to start reconnecting with your life again.
Nikolas: But you're my life.
Emily: I was. I don't know. I -- i think i need to be at rest.
Nikolas: Well, i won't rest until i find out who did this to you.
Nikolas: Let's go.
Sam: I can explain.
Lucky: No, you can't. I'm sure you can lie, and i'm -- i'm sure you could come up with some real convincing story. I'm sure you could even hire some people to put on some good, convincing act for me -- kind of like the two thugs that you hired to terrorize elizabeth and those two innocent little boys just so you could be on "everyday heroes."
Sam: Hey, will you please just let me say something, please?
Lucky: There's nothing that you could do to make a difference. The only thing you can do nowis get the hell out of my life.
>> On the next "General Hospital" --
Lucky: Never come near Jake again.
Carly: Who do you think the real killer is?
Sam: I just got a text message from the killer.
Lucky: I'm not falling for it.
Sam: Please!
Lucky: I got to go.
Feb 1, 2008 06:17
Sam: Please, lucky, please, just hear me out. I know what i did was awful.
Lucky: Yeah, which time? What was more awful, do you think? Watching jake being kidnapped, standing behind elizabeth, never saying a word? Or hiring two guys with guns to scare elizabeth and those boys in the park?
Sam: I was angry, i was hurt. I was angry at jason and elizabeth, i was desperate, lucky.
Lucky: I thought you acted out by coming on to me. You're an adult! It's inconceivable to me that you could be so selfish, so self-centered in risking an innocent little boy's life!
Sam: It wasn't like that. You don't understand --
lucky: No, i think you need to understand this -- i will help elizabeth and jason do whatever it takes to make sure you never come near jake again.
Jason: Hey. Jax around?
Carly: No, no. He's out for a while. Why? Is it jake? Is he ok?
Carly: Instinct? Ok. Well, i trust your instinct.
Carly: What are you talking about? The police closed the case.
Jason: I know that. I'm just not convinced that cooper is the killer.
Carly: All right, mac must have some airtight evidence, ok? There's no way that he would close this case with his daughter's murderer still walking around out there.
Jason: I get it, i get that. They think it's all over -- mac, the police -- everybody. I don't -- i don't think so.
Carly: So you think this maniac is just out there walking around?
Jason: Yeah, i think it's possible. The only problem is i don't have any proof.
Carly: But you have a theory -- you don't think coop did it. Who do you think the real killer is?
Logan: Didn't i just take you home?
Lulu: It's not home anymore.
Logan: Uh-oh. What's going on?
Lulu: Well, the good news is my dad's back. The bad news is monica threw tracy out, and by association, my dad had to leave, too. And i felt weird staying there, even though edward said i could.
Logan: So where are you going to go?
Lulu: I don't know. I -- um -- i could stay at wyndemere. I could ask lucky if --
logan: You know, why inconvenience your brothers? Why don't you just move back in with me?
Jax: Kate, i don't really like to keep secrets from my wife.
Kate: Jax, what i'm about to tell you has to be kept a secret from everyone -- except sonny. He knows -- he --
jax: What?
Kate: He thinks he knows.
Jax: Ok, ok --
kate: Jax, i don't have anyone to tell, i don't have anyone i trust.
Jax: What could be so top-secret about kate howard's past?
Kate: Kate howard doesn't have a past -- she doesn't exist. She's a creation, a total fabrication. I am really connie falconeri from bensonhurst. I'm the first person who broke sonny corinthos' heart.
[Woman chuckles]
woman: If you're taking inventory, i can pretty much guarantee i've got everything you're looking for.
Sonny: Leave your shoes on.
[Woman giggles]
lulu: I don't think my moving in would be a good idea. You know, i -- i don't think that we're there yet. I mean, i -- i don't think that we're there again. Moving in puts a lot of pressure on two people, a lot of expectations.
Logan: Like what? Like you expecting me not to notice that you're still into johnny -- the guy that got you kidnapped? The guy that almost got both of us blown up on a ship bringing in God knows what to port charles? Or the guy that after all of that, you went to go find and patch up? And now a guy that you claim to just be friends with?
Lulu: What do you want me to say?
Logan: I -- i don't know. You won't deny that you have feelings for him.
Lulu: Maybe i'm still a little raw that you slept with maxie.
Logan: Maybe it's time you got over that. I chose you.
Lulu: What are you trying to prove?
Logan: I'm just trying to see how much of you is here with me, lulu.
Lulu: Really? Are my percentages high enough?
Logan: I don't know, but i'll let you know after you spend the night with me.
Trevor: What does that mean, "she wasn't there"?
Mr. Vaughn: It means exactly that. Look, she calls, she says her flight came in early, she's at the hotel, and she's going to meet the car out in front with her bags.
Trevor: And what did you do then?
Mr. Vaughn: What'd i do? I -- i went to the hotel, she wasn't there. The bags were there with instructions for the driver to take the bags to the house, and -- you're going to love this -- she said she'd get there as soon as she could.
Trevor: It's impossible, she doesn't know anybody in port charles. So where is she? What is she doing?
Johnny: Where's who, and doing what?
Woman: So who is she?
Sonny: Who's who?
Woman: The woman you're trying to forget?
Sonny: I don't know -- i seem to have forgotten her.
Woman: You're not married.
Sonny: Noticed i don't have a ring on my finger?
Woman: And you didn't look at the door once, which means you weren't expecting someone to walk in.
woman: You weren't hoping someone would, either. You weren't trying to give someone an eyeful. No fears, no agenda, no marriage.
Sonny: What else was i besides good?
Woman: Besides the good parts, you were angry. You're hurt, and you're still in love with her.
Jax: You're kidding, right? This is some kind of joke?
Kate: No, not. Apparently, along with a lot of other desirable characteristics, i seem to have left my sense of humor back in brooklyn -- along with my family's name.
Jax: So, connie falconeri -- is that right? Why'd you change it?
Kate: Because, jax, connie couldn't be someone like the editor in chief of "couture." She couldn't be on the board of a museum, or move with style and grace through the hordes of high-powered, over-bred humanity with whom i had to interact.
Jax: So when you knew sonny, you knew sonny as -- as connie, is that right?
Kate: Oh, yeah. We were quite the item back in the neighborhood.
Jax: Really? Well, it was serious?
Kate: We were going to run away together. But as it turned out, i just ran -- or, connie did. Connie wanted more than she thought she could have with the neighborhood bad boy.
Jax: Yeah, and she got it -- and a whole lot more.
Kate: Yeah, she did. After she got a new name, she got a new life, a whole new past, and the decades went by and it all just faded into the background. Bensonhurst and connie and sonny -- all of it.
Jax: Then you came here. [Jax chuckles]
kate: I wanted a weekend home. I wanted some peace. I came here with my assistant, i got lost in the rain, and i ended up in sonny corinthos' office. I mean, really, what are the odds of that?
Jax: Well, quite good, apparently.
Kate: Yeah, and the sparks -- they blew back into flames, and we were right back where we started -- or, i should say, where we ended. Sonny proposed to me, and i ran -- again.
Sam: I would not have hurt jake.
Lucky: Why should i believe you? Why should anybody believe anything you say?
Sam: I really don't know what i can say to make you --
lucky: Nothing. Nothing at all because it's inconceivable to me. You -- you had a miscarriage. You lost a baby. How could you just stand there and say nothing while somebody stole one? I mean, did you hate elizabeth that much?
Sam: Yes, i did! In that moment standing there, yes. I was -- i was filled with hatred and jealousy, and i wanted revenge. But, lucky, everything happened so fast. That woman -- she came out and she grabbed jake. She just -- she took him, and all of a sudden he was gone, and it was too late to say anything.
Lucky: Yeah, well, it could've been too late for jake! Did you even think about that? No, because all you could think about was that woman taking that child that was the one connection between elizabeth and jason. Did you really think you had a chance with jason when jake was out of the picture?
Sam: No, no, no, no, no! Listen, don't you see? The woman was there, and then she was gone. I didn't even have time to think. By the time i realized what was happening, it was over, it was done!
Lucky: Stop it, sam! Once jake was found, you made sure elizabeth was so terrified that she wouldn't let jason have a shot at raising his own son! And you just kept standing there, watching this all play out while you were playing me!
Sam: Oh, man. Yes. It is all true, every last word of it. I was in agony! You are not the only one that was lied to here. I had lost everything that was worth living for. And i had to find a way to pick up the pieces of what was left of my life and rebuild it. I would not have been able to do that without you, lucky. Come on, please --
lucky: No, just --
sam: The last thing i ever thought i wanted, the last thing with -- i never thought i would wind up having feelings for you, but i did -- i do! I do, lucky, and they are real.
Lucky: Yeah, maybe.
Sam: No, don't.
Lucky: Or maybe -- maybe this could just be a ploy -- so you can just be closer to me, cameron, and jake, so you can just keep sticking it to elizabeth and jason Well, you know what? I don't care. I really don't, because i've been lied to by you, elizabeth, and maxie. I've been treated like -- the biggest fool, that's what i am.
Sam: No, you are not.
Lucky: No.
Sam: You are kind and amazing, and you are trusting --
lucky: Yeah, well, from now on, all i'm going to do is focus on being a father, and i want you to get out of here.
Sam: You don't understand. You really don't understand what happened.
Lucky: As far as you goes, i don't care --
sam: Please, lucky, don't --
lucky: Just as long as i never see your face.
Lulu: I am not spending the night with you.
Logan: Why?
Lulu: Because that invitation had all the charm of being dragged back to your cave by my hair.
Logan: Lulu, i want to be with you.
Lulu: No, no, you want me to prove something to you, but i'm not going to do it.
Logan: Because you can't.
Lulu: Because i don't have to. I'm not the one who's dragging johnny into every single conversation that we have. You can't seem to open your mouth without putting him down or trying to prove that you're better than he is.
Logan: Just better for you.
Lulu: Well, you know what? If you really mean that, then show me. Be the best logan that you can be, because that is all that i would want to be with.
Logan: I'm sorry, lulu, i'm pushing it.
Lulu: Maybe there is no winning for us, for any of us.
Logan: What does that mean?
Lulu: It means maybe i should just -- i should be on my own.
Logan: All right -- till johnny comes along, right? Hmm?
Lulu: Thank you, thank you. That just made up my mind -- i'm done.
Logan: Lulu, i'm sorry. Come -- come back.
[Door opens]
elizabeth: What are you doing here?
Sam: Oh, we came to say goodbye.
Elizabeth: What are you doing with my son?
Sam: Oh, he's my son. He always should've been my son -- my son with jason. You never deserved either of them. You lied to everyone, and now it's time to pay the price.
Elizabeth: No, no, he doesn't want to be with you. Give me back my baby! Where are you going?
Sam: Someplace you will never find us.
Elizabeth: Give him back to me! Jake! Jake! No, she took my baby!
Robin: Elizabeth?
Elizabeth, it's ok, wake up. [Elizabeth gasps]
robin: It's ok, it's ok. You're just having a dream. It's ok, it was just a dream.
Elizabeth: Oh, God, i got to get out of here.
Robin: Well, hold on, wait --
elizabeth: I got to get out of here.
Robin: Elizabeth, just --
elizabeth: No -- i have to get out. I have to get to my baby.
Robin: Elizabeth --
elizabeth: Jake? Jake?
Patrick: Whoa, whoa, whoa,
hey, elizabeth -- hey, hey, calm down.
Elizabeth: Jake? Jake?
Patrick: Hey, calm down. You need something to help calm down?
Elizabeth: Jake?
Patrick: What's happening?
Robin: Jake is with audrey, remember? Both boys are with her. She just called a couple minutes ago to check on you, and she said they're just fine.
Patrick: Just calm down, elizabeth. You need something to help you calm down? Tell me what's happening.
Elizabeth: No. I need to get out of this place.
Jason: Look, i -- i have nothing -- i have nothing to go on but a gut feeling. But i am going to look into this, and i just -- i just want you to be careful.
Carly: Hey, you will be the first call i make if i get a text from the killer.
Jason: Ok, see, that's the problem -- leticia didn't get a text before she was killed, and neither did emily.
Carly: This doesn't make sense. If coop wasn't guilty, why did he kill himself?
Jason: Maybe he didn't. Maybe he was getting too close to the truth. Do you know he called me right before he died? Now, why would he do that unless he had something to tell me?
Carly: Maybe he wanted to confess his guilt about emily but he just couldn't go through with it.
Jason: I -- carly, i don't know.
Carly: Ok, listen, all i'm saying is maybe this time your instinct's wrong because you wanted to be the one to find emily's killer.
Jason: Maybe. Look, i just -- i just want you and the kids to stay on your guard so nobody does anythin careless.
Sam: Whew.
[Phone rings]
Trevor: Stay on it.
Johnny: So this "she" you're talking about is a boat?
Trevor: Exactly -- to replace the one that you blew up with moreau's cargo onboard. Who do you think i was talking about? Oh, of course -- the spencer girl, your achilles' heel. You know, john, you are never going to step into your father's footsteps if you don't get rid of her. Your enemies are going to prey on your weaknesses.
Johnny: And what was my father's weakness?
Trevor: Your mother -- at least, his love for her.
Johnny: And who preyed on it, huh -- you?
Sonny: Where you running off to?
Woman: I have a prior engagement. We both got what we came for. Why complicate it?
Sonny: What do you call "complicated"?
Woman: Names, numbers -- anything much more than this conversation.
Sonny: Hmm. Sounds lonely.
Woman: I've known lots of lonely married men, engaged men, family men -- all trying to fill little pockets of empty with other people. I don't need anyone to complete me. I'm enough for me, you get that.
Sonny: Yeah, i do.
Woman: You're someone solitary and serious --
[sonny sighs]
woman: Who gets what you want when you want it, no matter what the price, but you pay later. Sometimes you keep paying. You're a haunted man.
Sonny: And you know this from one thoroughly enjoyable evening in a hotel room?
Woman: You don't have to tell me. I'm right.
Sonny: Maybe we're a lot alike.
Woman: Maybe.
Sonny: If we are, why don't you tell me what haunts you?
Feb 1, 2008 06:20
Kate: I've tried. I've tried to explain this al to sonny, but he doesn't really l understand.
Jax: Well, i'm not sure if i do, either.
Kate: He thinks it's just about the embarrassment of people finding out.
Jax: Well, clearly, that's a big part of it, right?
Kate: Yeah, jax, it is, but it's more than that. There's -- there's a lot more than that.
Jax: Are you afraid that you're going to lose kate howard if you marry sonny?
Kate: I'm more afraid of someone finding connie falconeri.
Carly: Great -- it's going to rain and jax left his car. Are you on your bike?
Jason: Yeah, yeah, i'm ok.
Carly: Oh, are you sure you're ok? I know that i'm supposed to shut up and let you make your own decisions, but you have a son. How do you not have that connection -- you of all people? Oh -- oh --
jason: What's wrong?
Carly: I just haven't eaten a lot today and i don't feel well. Whew.
jason: You know what? I need to -- i need to take this. Maybe you should grab somethin to eat.
Carly: Please take care of yourself.
Jason: Yeah.
Carly: Thanks for the warning.
Jason: Mm-hmm.
[Ring]
jason: Hey. Are you all right?
Elizabeth: Jason, i am crawling out of my skin in this hospital bed.
Jason: What can i do?
Elizabeth: I need to be with you, i can't wait another minute. I know that doesn't make sense, but --
jason: It makes perfect sense -- i need to be with you, too.
lucky: Hello?
Sam: Lucky? Lucky, please, please don't hang up. I know you don't want to talk to me, but this is really important. I just got a text message from the killer.
Lucky: This is a bad game, sam, and it's not bright. Coop barrett is the text message killer and he's dead -- game over.
Sam: No, no, no, no, no! Please listen to me. I am not lying. Lucky, please, i'll show it to you. The message says, "i am not dead after all." Please!
Lucky: No, no, you can't. I'm not falling for it or whoever you hired to text you.
[Knock on door]
lulu: Hey, you have time for a confused little sister?
Lucky: You know what? I got to go.
Sam: No, lucky, don't, please! This --
[phone rings]
[sam gasps]
sam: Oh, my God.
sam: No, i can't see you! You're not here! Nobody's here. The text message killer is dead.
sam: Ah -- oh, God.
Sam: Oh, no. [Sam screams]
sam: No! Get -- help! No, leave -- get off! Get off! Get off! Oh -- agh --
elizabeth: I want to feel safe, but i don't know where else to do that but with you. So i'm going to check myself out of here, and i was hoping that we could meet at our place.
Jason: Should -- should you be driving?
Elizabeth: Probably not, but i can't wait. Every time i fall asleep i have really, really bad dreams -- dreams about the fire, about losing jake, about him being stolen by --
jason: Stolen by who?
Elizabeth: Oh, God. Jason, yesterday i left the hospital because i needed to see the children, and i found sam alone with jake at lucky's. I -- i freaked out and i -- i popped a stitch and i had to be brought back here because of the bleeding. And on top of everything, lucky showed up, and i told him, jason, i told him everything about sam.
Jason: Ok, you know what? You can tell me all this when you see me -- i'm coming by to pick you up.
Elizabeth: No, no, you can't. We can't be seen together, remember? Don't -- don't worry, i'm going to take the shortcut by the waterfront, and -- and there's no traffic this time of night.
Jason: All right. I'll -- i'll be at the safe house waiting.
Elizabeth: I love you.
Jason: I love you, too.
Carly: Oh -- man.
Michael: Ah --
carly: Can i call you back? Ok.
Carly: Michael, are you asleep?
Michael: Yeah?
Carly: What was that big thump?
Michael: Oh, books fell off.
Carly: Oh. I have to run out, ok? Morgan's asleep, mercedes is in the kitchen. You get some sleep, all right?
Michael: All right.
Carly: I love you.
Michael: Good night.
[Door closes]
michael: I love you, too.
Jax: What do you mean, you're afraid of someone finding connie falconeri?
Kate: I can't be exposed. It would -- it would mean the end of my career and -- and any other i might choose for myself, including the magazine that you so gallantly offered to back me in.
Jax: You know, kate, there's a big time gap between the day you ran out on sonny and the day you accepted help from trevor lansing.
Kate: Yeah, there's several years. Actually, they're blank years, black years, years i'd like to forget -- that is the other part of this, jax, that you have to swear to.
Jax: What?
Kate: That those years and everything that happened in between -- that they remain a dead issue.
Jax: Oh, it's starting to rain -- that's that storm. Let me walk you back to your car.
Kate: No, i walked all the way from the waterfront.
Jax: Kate, that's an hour away. Let's go back to my place, i'll call you a cab.
Kate: Jax, i meant what i said. You can't tell anyone what i told you.
Sonny: You didn't answer my question. If we're a lot alike, what haunts you?
Woman: Nothing would ever dare. I'm too scary.
Sonny: You don't scare me.
Woman: Well, then you're just not as smart as i thought you were.
Sonny: If -- if i need you again, i'm sure i can find you.
Woman: Let's hope not. A man like you and a woman like me -- we'd destroy everything around us for miles.
Robin: You know, we cannot stop elizabeth if she wants to check herself out, so -- what?
Patrick: Nothing.
Robin: You know, i have a -- a child inside of me, not a bomb, so you can stop looking at me like i'm going to explode
Patrick: I'm not looking at youlike that.
Robin: Then what's the problem?
Patrick: Just wondering what would be going through my mind if that child was mine.
[Robin sighs]
monica: Oh -- i came to work to get away from you.
Tracy: Well, i would think for the safety of the public at large, that's not a good idea.
Monica: You filed your lawsuit, tracy. There's nothing more you can do.
Tracy: Guess again, monica. Monica: Why aren't you with luke? He is back, he's alive. The two of you should be planning on where you're going to be living in relative poverty.
Tracy: Luke and i are none of your business -- and i will be back in the family home.
Monica: Not if i have anything to do with it.
Tracy: Yeah, but you won't, because when i win the malpractice suit, the first thing i'm going to ask for is the family home.
Monica: You know, this is just hateful, tracy. It has nothing to do with my capabilities as a doctor. It's just plain personal.
Tracy: I told you not to operate on luke.
Monica: And i told you he would die if i didn't.
Tracy: No, he almost did die because of it.
Monica: And let me ask you, where is all the devotion? It seems to me i remember hearing, as i walked out the door, something about you wanted luke declared dead. Hey, that should go over well at the hearing. Now, will you excuse me? I have a patient schedule to go over.
Tracy: Actually, you don't -- ask dr. Ford.
[Monica sighs]
tracy: As head of the hospital board, it is my pleasure to inform you that your surgical privileges have been suspended, effective immediately. You can observe, but you may not touch a scalpel to patient. And when i'm through with you, you won't be able to pick up a butter knife.
Monica: I'll fight you.
Tracy: You can. You might want to cut back on your evening cocktails, or are you drinking all day now? Now, that's something for the hearing.
Carly: Hi.
Kelly: Hey. I normally don't do exams this late, but i know what this means to you.
Carly: I just want it to be official for jax. Thank you so much for doing this for me.
Kelly: Well, thank me if or when i have good news for you.
Carly: Yes!
Kelly: Let's go.
Carly: Ok.
Robin: I have to tell you i do not recommend you leaving the hospital right now. You're emotionally strained and physically exhausted.
Elizabeth: I'll be fine once i get out of this place. I just need to sleep, and i can't sleep here.
Robin: Ok, ok. I know you need to rest, but at least let me call you a cab or call audrey or something.
Elizabeth: No, no, i'm fine. You look a little tense yourself.
Robin: It's patrick.
Elizabeth: Did you tell him he's the father?
Robin: No, no, i didn't. He still thinks that i went through a sperm bank and -- he's stalking me. It's like he knows.
Elizabeth: Robin, tell him the truth. If you plan on telling him at all, the sooner he knows, the less angry he'll be.
Robin: Um -- nikolas is waiting to go over his new med protocol with us. What now?
Patrick: I don't know.
Robin: Ok, well, when you figure it out, let me know -- or not.
Sam: Help!Somebody please help me! Please wake up, please! Please -- agh! No! God --
man: Agh!
[Man groans]
sam: That's it, i --
[man groans]
lulu: I know the whole text message killer thing is over, but i'm still a little spooked about staying at wyndemere with nikolas -- even though i know he could probably use the company. And the last person that i'm going to stay with is logan because he's being such a jerk about this whole johnny thing. He's so jealous, and i've probably given him a reason to be. But he can't seem to get past it, and you are not listening to a word i'm saying, are you?
Lucky: Sure. You -- you said something about not wanting to live with the quartermaines.
Lulu: Yeah, something like that. What's up with you?
Lucky: You know what? I don't want to get into it.
Lulu: Sam?
Elizabeth, jake -- all of the above?
Lucky: Yeah, it's something like that.
Lulu: Huh. Well, our family is crashing and burning in the love department these days -- and we had such good role models.
Lucky: We did?
Lulu: Yeah, no matter what, dad loved mom, mom loved dad. Dad still loves mom, and i know that wherever she is, she still loves him, too. I mean, what is it going to take for us to find that -- assuming that it's even out there -- and then how do we know when we've found it?
Lucky: You know what? I'm not sure if it's out there. And if it is, i don't know how to make it last. I touched it with elizabeth. And even if you lose it, i hope you find that someday, lulu, even if it only happens once.
Trevor: Enough of the mistrust. Come on, let's deal with it. Where does it come from?
Johnny: Your behavior, things i remember.
Trevor: And what do you remember? Orderly: Mr. Zacchara is back in his room.
Johnny: How is he?
Trevor: Listen, it's all right. I already spoke with the doctor i'll tell mr. Zacchara's son. Thank you.
Johnny: What's going on?
Trevor: John, your father took a turn for the worse, so prepare yourself. He might not have that long to live.
Johnny: Why is my father suddenly going downhill?
Anthony: Stop talking about me like i'm dead. I'm not dead, and i'm not going to be dead.I'm going to stay alive just to piss you off.
Johnny: Well, you sound like --like yourself.
Anthony: How do you know what i sound like? When was the last time you were here? Maria's got all kinds of excuses all the time about why you're not here. They're all a load of crap.
Johnny: My mother's dead.
Trevor: Don't excite him.
Anthony: You stay out of this,i'm talking to my son. I'm supposed to get a new nurse. I don't trust any of them anymore.
Johnny: Why?
Anthony: Because they're old and ugly and heavy-handed.
anthony: Except this one. Hello, nursie.
Woman: Hi, daddy.
Jax: Sonny?
Sonny: I need to talk to carly. Is she around?
Jax: She's not here.
Kate: I'm not at all sure that carly will be pleased about me wearing this --
jason: Whew.
[Truck horn honks]
lulu: It's easier to get information out of a clam.
Lucky: I didn't realize that this was an interrogation.
Lulu: It's not. All that i know is you've obviously had a fight with sam. And the way that you're talking makes it sound like you might want to get back together with elizabeth.
Monica: Damn you.
Sam: Agh! Get off!
Agh! Get --
[horn honks]
johnny: What are you doing here?
Woman: Ask trevor -- he's the one who sent for me.
[Tires screech]
[monica gasps]
Feb 4, 2008 09:03
Monday, February 4th: Part 1 Claudia: Wow.Look at you. You've turned into quite a man, despite things. How you doing, daddy?
Anthony: Who are you?
anthony: You're not claudia. Who is this puttana pretending to be my daughter?
Claudia: Daddy, it's me, really.
Johnny: Claudia, what are you doing here?
Claudia: Ask trevor -- he's the one who sent for me.
Sonny: It must be true what they say -- timing is everything. Obviously, carly's not home, so i'm going to go ahead --
kate: Jax and i were out talking, it started to rain, we got soaked --
sonny: You don't owe me explanations about anything.
Jax: He's right, you don't. But i'll -- if you guys want to be alone --
kate: No, no -- no, jax, it's all right. Sonny's right -- we don't owe each other explanations, we don't owe each other anything.
[tires screech]
carly: Come on, jax.
sam: Agh -- get off -- agh! Leave --
man: Ugh!
jason: Elizabeth, it's me. I just took a walk down the drive to see if you were coming, and i noticed that the roads are -- are really bad and you should've been here by now. I'm just -- i'm worried about you, or i'm just anxious to see you -- i don't know. Just, please, call me as soon as you get this, ok? Thanks.
Lucky: It's too late for me and elizabeth. You know, there's always going to be a part of me that will love her. I mean, she was the first girl who made me understand what love could really be. I saw things i never even knew existed, and we were kids.
Lulu: So?
Lucky: So, we grew up. And growing up changes things, even love. Elizabeth and i, we have all this stuff between us now --= the lies and the hurt, affairs, addiction, children by other fathers. I mean, we've been through so much -- i mean, how we even put up with each other -- right now, i just appreciate the fact that she has separated herself away from jason for the sake of jake. I don't know how long it's going to last. Lu, it's ok, relax. I know you know that jason is jake's father. How could you not?
Lulu: Spinelli told me. I didn't tell anyone, i swear.
Lucky: Because of your loyalty to jason?
Lulu: Be-- no, because i didn't know what i should or shouldn't do, so i kept my mouth shut. I am so sorry, lucky. I just kept wondering what mom would've said.
Lucky: Are you kidding? Mom -- she would've loved if elizabeth and i were able to work it out. I mean, she was an incurable romantic. A card-carrying optimist -- that's the way she was always.
Lulu: Well, she had to be. She was married to dad, she had no choice.
Lucky: Yeah, well, she looks past things, even the bad. Looks like i inherited the blinders for that but not the forgiveness.
Lulu: What happened with you and sam?
Lucky: She did something that i don't know is forgivable.
Lulu: So she did something to you?
Lucky: I just saw the kind of person that she can be.
Lulu: Well, we can all be rotten people under the right circumstances.
Lucky: Or the wrong circumstances.
Lulu: Ok, i am not defending sam -- i don't even like her. She -- you know, i just want you to be happy, and it seemed like sam made you happy, kind of.
Lucky: Well, i've lived with enough lies, enough to last a lifetime. And sam -- not even 10 minutes out that door, she called back and told me something else that wasn't true. And the idiot that i am, i was starting to believe what we had could be -- real.
Lulu: And now?
Lucky: Now? I don't care what happens.
[Thunder]
anthony: What are you doing bringing claudia back here from -- from wherever the hell she was?
Claudia: Milan, dad.
Trevor: You've changed.
Claudia: You mean from the scared little girl who's afraid of her own shadow? Afraid of you, afraid of daddy? Yeah. But then i suppose that's why you asked me back, isn't it?
Trevor: No. I told you your father was failing. I thought you might like to see him.
Claudia: You mean one last time?
Anthony: Will you quit talking about me like i'm not in the room, will you? Who said i'm failing? Where's maria? I want maria. How many times do i have to ask? Who are you again? What, nobody's listening? I'm not speaking english? What? Somebody get me my wife, and the rest of you clear out!
Trevor: That's a good idea. We've got a lot to talk about.
Claudia: You and johnny go. I want to stay and talk to my father. We have a lot of catching up to do.
Jax: Well, i think i'll just leave you guys alone --
kate: No, really, jax, that's not necessary. There's nothing that sonny and i could possibly discuss that you don't already know.
Sonny: You sure about that?
Kate: Mm-hmm.
Sonny: Mm-hmm?
Kate: Jax knows that you proposed to me --
sonny: Hmm.
Kate: And that i got confused.
Sonny: Confused? No, no, you ran.
Jax: Well, that's not the worst reflex for a woman in her situation.
Sonny: Well, you know, the -- the night got a little too much for kate howard, and it was too many reminders of the past.
Jax: Yeah. Yeah, kate tells me she has a -- she has a pretty interesting background.
Sonny: She doesn't like to talk about it because, you know, it hurts too much, i guess -- i don't know.
Kate: Yeah.
Sonny: She doesn't -- she doesn't want to be reminded who she is.
Kate: It does hurt --
sonny: Does it?
Kate: Too much, sonny --
sonny: Hmm. Ok.
Kate: Especially because i don't really have anyone to talk to about it. I mean, not somebody who will try to understand or give me the benefit of the doubt. But now i do.
Sonny: Hmm.
Kate: That's right, sonny. Jax now knows that the industrious kate howard of "couture" magazine used to steal beer, meet you under the boardwalk of coney island, and make out in the sand. He knows that i was really connie falconeri.
Carly: Ok, we're going to be ok. We're going to be ok.
Sonny: So you told jax who you really are? But yet when we were in bensonhurst at a restaurant, being waited on by an old friend of ours, you couldn't give an inch about who you were.
Kate: Sonny, i don't think this is the time to --
sonny: You and his sister hung out together -- she cut your damn hair -- but you couldn't tell him who you were? You couldn't be connie falconeri for 10 minutes, knowing that it -- it would make his night to see us together?
Kate: No, i couldn't.
Sonny: Kate howard couldn't!
Jax: Of course, you don't have things in your past that you wouldn't want dragged up in the middle of a polite conversation, sonny?
Sonny: Jax, i know who i am, and i know where i came from, and i'm not having this conversation with you. So, listen, you want to live dangerously, you want to -- you want to hang out with candy boy once a month, trying to steal some beer at coney island, you know, talking about your feelings? Go right ahead, because i don't have to care. Because i won't be seeing you around here anymore. See what i'm saying?
Kate: Yeah, well, see, that's where you're wrong, sonny. I've decided not to go back to manhattan. I'm going to make port charles my primary residence.
Trevor: Whatever you want to know, you can ask me.
Claudia: I will. But i want to talk to my father first, unless you know some reason why i shouldn't?
Trevor: No, claudia. You can talk to anybody you like to. Come on, john.
Johnny: What the hell is going on?
Trevor: I tell you, your father's failing.
Johnny: I've had it with you, trevor. Nothing is like you say. You talk out of both sides of your mouth, especially with me. You need to stop treating me like an idiot. I know exactly why you brought my half sister here.
Ian: Nurse johnson.
Epiphany: Dr. Devlin.
Ian: We never seem to get past that point of pleasantness, do we?
Epiphany: Probably because i can't get past the fact that there's more to you than you let on.
Patrick: Looks like she's got your number, ian. And what you're referring to is the frustrating inability to pierce the layers of education, training, and proficiency of our new staff member here. See, not many doctors can switch specialties from reconstructive surgery to oncology without batting an eye, but he's got practice. He would switch from single malt whiskey to body shots of tequila -- obviously depending on who he was hitting on at the time.
Epiphany: Hmm. Huh. That's more than i needed to know. Thank you -- whatever it was that you just said.
Ian: Methinks i detect a yearning for the drinking days of old.
Patrick: You know what? I'm just glad to have somebody here from med school that actually knows what they want out of life -- and what they don't want.
Robin: Have you seen nikolas?
Patrick: No. Why?
Robin: Well, because we were supposed to go over his drug protocol with him and i thought i left him in the exam room.
Nadine: Nikolas left.
Patrick: Where did he go, home?
Nadine: He said he was bored and wanted to go out for a drive. He told me he was going to run it by you.
Robin: In this weather?
Ian: And is driving such a good idea, given his condition?
Robin: Excuse me, but what do you know about nikolas' condition?
Emily: It stopped raining.
Nikolas: You changed your clothes again.
[Emily laughs]
emily: Well, i wear what your mind wants to see me in.
Nikolas: What's left of my mind.
Emily: Nikolas, things are changing, aren't they?
Nikolas: Yeah.
Emily: Yeah.
Nikolas: I should've never left the hospital.
Emily: Ok, well, listen, we'll go back to the hospital. Where's your car?
Nikolas: I don't know. I don't know.
Emily: It's ok. It's going to be ok. What do you remember this time?
Nikolas: Enough to be afraid to tell anyone about it.
Johnny: Claudia's been your backup plan all along, hasn't she? If i got too out of line or you couldn't control me the way you controlled my father all these years, you thought as eldest child, claudia would be the perfect figurehead to head up this organization -- like my father did, like i refuse to be.
Trevor: Why are you so paranoid, john?
Johnny: It's not paranoia if someone's actually after you, is it? You run claudia while she runs the organization -- is that how things are going to work now?
Trevor: Look, for once in your life, will you stop acting with your emotions and think with your head, huh? And please, learn this business before you throw in with sonny corinthos and get yourself killed. You got to stop slipping up -- the cops will always get you. Because you got to know i am not going to let you or anyone else run this empire into the ground.
Johnny: Looks like you're the one that's slipped up, trevor. Claudia's not who you remember, and something tells me you're going to have a much tougher time with her than you ever dreamed of having with me. As far as i can see, she's already got your number, so you know what? I think i'm going to sit back and watch. This could be fun.
Claudia: Really did yourself good this time, eh, pop?
Anthony: Ah, what do you know?
Claudia: Only what i see.
Anthony: You look good. A little too slutty, but good. Why did you come?
Claudia: Trevor sent for me.
Anthony: Yeah, but why did you come? What do you want?
Kate: Will you sit?
Sonny: You want me to sit?
Sonny: All right. Ahem.
Kate: I will not grovel, sonny.
Sonny: All right.
Kate: I will not subject myself to your cold shoulder while i'm here.
Sonny: It's your time to waste.
Kate: Oh, no, it's our time to waste -- a time that we could be happy. Sonny, don't you get it? All those years ago, connie and sonny would've never made it, but kate and sonny could.
Sonny: I thought we weren't going to get into explanations, kate, and --
kate: All right, i'm not, ok?
Sonny: You keep stalking me --
kate: No, i'm not, all right? I'm just offering insight and possibilities. Look, you want connie more than you want kate, and i do want the label of kate howard more than the title of mrs. Sonny corinthos because, apparently, that comes with a target on my back.
Sonny: Ok, ok, you -- you have it -- you got it all figured out, then, ok? We're done, then. It's pretty much done, right?
Sonny: What?
Kate: What it is, is something to build on. But you know what? Fine, all right? I'm just going to do it by myself, ok? I'll do it all by myself, while you go and you nurse your pride until you figure out that i'm right.
Sonny: Well, you got a hell of a surprise coming.
Kate: Maybe i do, but i think you're worth it. I think that we're worth it. So, go ahead, just try and stay away from me as long as you can. But it won't be forever because i saw in manhattan how hard you tried to make it work, sonny. I was paralyzed on that street corner in bensonhurst, and i will not be paralyzed again.
Sonny: Am i supposed to guess what you're trying to say? Am i supposed to care?
Kate: You already care.
Sonny: I said we're done.
Kate: And i say we're not. So, there are things in both of our pasts that we would like to keep dead, but we have something to build on.
Monica: Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Lulu: I'm going to go to kelly's to get some takeout, but brace yourself, because when i get back, i'm going to beg you to let me crash here.
Lucky: You can stay here as long as you want.
Lulu: See -- you do care what happens to people.
Lucky: You're not "people," you're my sister.
Lulu: No, you care what happens to everybody, lucky, no matter how angry you are. If anything, you are somebody who cares too much, and i think that's what leads you into trouble.
[Lulu sighs] You want to be a good father to jake to make up for what dad did or didn't do.
Lucky: I wish it were that easy.
Lulu: I also know that you want to protect jake from jason's enemies. If everyone thinks you're his father, then he'll be safe, right?
Lucky: The truth is i want to protect jake from jason, too. I know that you have a different take on the guy.
Lulu: I -- i just know how kind he can be.
Lucky: And i know the business that he's in. I'd rather she have a child by anybody else. But i still think that this connection is going to get her into some kind of trouble that there's no getting out of.
Elizabeth: Jason? Jason?
Jason: Oh, thank God you're here, i was so -- i was so worried about you.
[Elizabeth sighs]
jason: You're shaking. What happened? Elizabeth: Just hold me.
Jason: Are you ok?
elizabeth: You're right. I shouldn't have tried to come, but i'm so glad i did. I couldn't spend another night in that hospital bed. It was just one awful dream after another.
Jason: It's ok. Here, sit down, you're safe. It's all right.
Elizabeth: I knew i needed to be with you. If i was ever going to fall asleep and feel safe again, it was with you -- that's why i called.
Jason: I'm glad you called.
Elizabeth: But i probably should've stopped to get a coffee or something. I was so focused on getting here, i almost didn't make it.
Jason: What -- what do you mean?
Elizabeth: I -- well, i -- i felt myself nodding off, and - and there was this moment when --
jason: When what?
Elizabeth: I think i fell asleep.
Jason: Oh, man, elizabeth, you -- you should've stopped. You know, you could've pulled over, and you know i would've been there in one minute for you. It's lucky you didn't get into an accident.
Elizabeth: But there was this moment when i was jarred awake, and i think the jolt i felt was -- was a car going off the road or hitting the shoulder or something. But i managed to hang on to the wheel, and i just kept driving. God, it scared me so bad, the adrenaline just pumped through me, and i rolled down the window and let the rain and the wind blow in my face. But it's over and i'm here, and i just -- oh -- i just want to get cleaned up and sit by the fire, is that ok?
Jason: Of course that's fine.
Feb 4, 2008 09:07
Ian: A few days ago, patrick asked me what kind of cases interest me the most, and i said the hopeless ones.
Robin: Nikolas' case isn't hopeless.
Ian: Is that a doctor talking or a friend?
Robin: Both.
Ian: Hmm. You can be both with a patient?
Robin: Huh. Well, you're about to find out that we do things just a little bit differently here on earth, dr. Devlin.
Ian: You really find me that different?
Robin: Well, i find you to be clear and focused and incredibly proficient on the one hand, and glib and completely transparent with women on the other -- as only a close friend of dr. Drake's would be.
Ian: Maybe there isn't anything different about me.
Robin: Well, there's something, i just don't know what yet.
Ian: Huh. Well, then to save you some time, maybe i prefer that it's nobody's business. Now, then, i've seen a case like his once before -- a patient with a tumor in basically the same area of the brain. Slight-but-jolting episodes of rage and confusion afterwards, though not the same complete blackouts that mr. Cassadine suffers from. And this amnesia -- for lack of a better term -- there isn't any chance that this patient's lying about that part, is there?
Robin: No, absolutely not.
Ian: What about hallucinations?
Patrick: He hasn't mentioned any.
Ian: Well, friend or not, for some reason, he's keeping things from you after all.
Nikolas: I know i shouldn't have left the hospital -- i realize that -- but i couldn't help it. See, i looked out the window and i saw it was raining and i saw the way the lights reflecting on the pavement, and i just -- i got this vivid image of us flying down the boulevard in paris towards the eiffel tower, top down, laughing in the rain, you know? Not a care in the world, but that's not real. And things are getting less and less real. I mean, you -- you are real, emily, but you're not.
Emily: That's because your condition's getting worse, nikolas.
Nikolas: Yeah, i just don't know what i could've done with the car. I mean, i got so angry when that guy cut us off, and then you weren't in the seat next to me, and then i looked up and you're standing in the street -- at least, i think it was you. And the next thing i remember, i'm standing here, and there you are again, but you changed your clothes.
Emily: Ok, so let's get you back to the hospital.
Nikolas: In a minute. Just -- just let me look at you for a second Let me -- let me love you for a minute, ok?
Emily: Ok.
Nikolas: I don't know how much time we may have left together.
Johnny: If claudia catches you listening, there's going to be hell to pay. And she looks like someone who travels with more than just a little hell in her back pocket.
Trevor: We need to call a family meeting.
Johnny: I agree. Of course, you're not family, so claudia might forget to tell you about it.
Trevor: No, john, be clear about this. You're going to need me now more than ever. How long do you think claudia's going to stay here? Her curiosity got the better of her, and she's just flaunting herself in our faces.
Johnny: You mean your face, and maybe my father's, not mine. I was, what, 7 when she left, she was 16? I'm going to be interested to hear her take on things -- on a lot of things.
Claudia: I remember the day you sent me away. You remember that day, pop?
Anthony: You and maria -- uh -- you -- you two had a fight. It was bad for you in the house.
Claudia: No. It was good for me in the house -- i had a family.
Anthony: What did you want with a family? You were always by yourself, you liked being by yourself.
Claudia: That's because nobody liked me. I didn't like me.
Anthony: I know someone who liked you.
Claudia: You want to know what i want, old man? Then shut up and listen.
Jax: Anything i can do?
Kate: Um -- no, i'm ok, jax. I'm just mourning a few things.
Kate: No, i think i still have a chance with him.
Jax: Oh. So this would be a bad time to try to talk you out of it?
Kate: Excuse me. How many of your friends tried to talk you out of marrying carly?
Jax: Oh, a few. Check that -- quite a few, actually. The difference is carly won't get me killed, kate.
Kate: Oh, there's all kinds of ways to die, jax.
Jax: You know, i'm still not sure why you told me everything.
Kate: Because i need your help.
Jax: To do what?
Carly: Jax, i have something -- wow. I'm going to try to ignore the fact that you guys are standing here half naked.
Kate, you got about 10 seconds to get the hell out of my house, or i'm going to throw you out.
Patrick: How did you treat your patient?
Ian: With a new drug therapy that manages the side effects till the tumor grew big enough to be removed more safely.
Robin: What kind of drug therapy, exactly?
Ian: Experimental. Now, what disturbs me in the cassadine case is this -- this wild card -- some kind of drug injected into his system?
Patrick: Yeah, it's a long story.
Ian: Well, if i'm going to help treat this patient, i suggest you make it a short one.
Robin: Who said you were? I -- i don't understand how nikolas falls under your area of expertise.
Ian: The same way as my other patient with a tumor did -- by needing my help, now.
Nikolas: I apologize, i shouldn't have left. I just had to get out of here for a while.
Patrick: Yeah, i know the feeling. In the meantime, we've been discussing your case with a colleague of ours and he's agreed to join the team. Nikolas cassadine, this is dr. Ian devlin.
Nikolas: Hey.
Jax: Carly, it's not what you think. I asked kate back here -- we were both caught in a rainstorm, we were soaked, ok?
Carly: Oh, i bet you couldn't wait to take him up on that offer, huh?
Jax: Why -- what are you doing?
Carly: Now that you and sonny are over, you're looking for your next victim? It's not going to be my husband, you got it?
Kate: Jax? Jax? Thank you for your kindness and your understanding. I think you understand some of what i've asked now?
Jax: Yes.
Carly: Oh, secrets? Well, i guess we're playing the secret game now, is that it?
Kate: My clothes -- jax, my clothes?
Jax: Second door on the right. And i'll call you a cab, ok? There's no secrets.
Kate: Um, jax, you don't have to do that.
Jax: No, that's fine, i want to. I'll -- i'll call the cab.
Carly: Keep the robe -- i was going to burn it anyway. What the hell is she doing here?
Jax: What is wrong with you? Why are you so angry?
Carly: Because i don't like that woman!
Jax: You don't like any women.
Carly: I especially don't like that woman tonight, ok?
Jax: What were you doing? Were -- were you out driving?
Carly: I wanted to talk to you, i wanted to share something with you.
Jax: Mercedes said that you left, but she didn't say that you drove yourself. Where did you go?
Carly: It doesn't matter because you've ruined everything, jax Jax: Whoa, hold on a sec -- carly? Ok -- whoa, whoa, carly -- can we just talk about it?
[Carly walks upstairs]
jason: There you go.
Elizabeth: Thank you.
Jason: You feeling better? Elizabeth: Much. That shower was great -- i washed the hospital off.
Jason: Careful with your stitches?
Elizabeth: Yes, i was careful.
Jason: When you called, you said something about going to lucky's and finding sam holding jake. I --
elizabeth: The day before yesterday, i checked myself out of the hospital. Lucky had the boys, so i went to his house to get them and take them home or to gram's. And when i walked in, there was sam -- holding jake like it was the most natural thing in the world. Then i found out that lucky was on a police call and he had left her alone with jake. Of course, i -- i freaked out. By the time lucky got back, sam and i were in the middle of a full-blown fight, and i popped a stitch and lucky had to take me to the hospital.
Jason: Why didn't you call me?
Elizabeth: Because i can't. Because we're not supposed to be seeing each other. And it's not going to seem like that if you come running every time i get a splinter -- even though i know you would.
Jason: You know i want to.
Elizabeth: I can't remember the last time i really slept. But i feel better. I feel a lot better -- almost as if -- as if the ride over here never happened.
Anthony: A daughter doesn't speak to her father like that. A daughter owes her father respect. Maria will make you respect me.
Claudia: My stepmother's dead. And when i heard you're the one who shot her --
anthony: And you believe everything you hear?
Claudia: I believed it because it sounded just like you. You never were a nice man, daddy -- not to johnny, not to johnny's mother, not to me, not to my mother. She's dead, too, you know?
Anthony: I didn't do nothing to her. She's not dead because of me.
Claudia: She died on the inside because of you, and you sent what was left of her away -- just like you did with me.
Anthony: You don't know what you're talking about. Nobody knows, just maria. Maria always knows. She sends me roses, you know, from the garden. It's funny -- they shouldn't be alive this time of year. The doctors -- they don't know what they're talking about, either. They say i'll never move again? They don't know -- i can move.
Claudia: Really? Show me.
Anthony: No. You want to see, you have to come back and see. Bring johnny and maria and that little what's-her-name with the red sneakers.
Claudia: That was me, daddy. That was me.
Anthony: What are you talking about -- that's not you. Don't bring the pusher.
Claudia: "The pusher"?
Anthony: Pushing, always pushing!
Claudia: I'll be back. Don't worry, we have a lot of catching up to do in more ways than one. But to answer your question -- the one from 10 confused, raving minutes ago -- whati want, daddy, is everything.
Anthony: Yeah? Good luck with that one!
Claudia: I don't need luck. I learned a lot of things while i was gone.
Anthony: What things?
Claudia: I love you, daddy, i do. But just so you know, if you try to stop me, i will kill you.
Sonny: Big mistake -- walking around this town without any bodyguards.
Johnny: I'm unarmed.
Sonny: Well, that's your second mistake. Why shouldn't it be your last?
Claudia: Where's john?
Trevor: You know, he left.
Claudia: Oh, you mean you made him leave?
Trevor: What's happened to you?
Claudia: I wised up.
Trevor: Huh. You seem too hard.
Claudia: You seem disappointed.
Trevor: Your brother needs you.
Claudia: Being kept behind walls with you and my father, i can only imagine. The good thing for john is there's still hope for him -- unlike the rest of us.
Trevor: I need you to pull this together. Can you do it? Wherever you disappeared to in that hotel --
claudia: Where i go and what i do is my business. The faster you learn that, the faster we'll get along -- if we ever get along at all.
Sonny: You've been getting an awful lot of breaks lately, and mainly because jason has been giving you the benefit of the doubt -- i'm tired of that. And i got too many loose ends in my life, and i'm getting very angry because i'm not paying attention to business.
Johnny: If you're in the business of shooting unarmed men, tonight's your lucky night.
[Sonny cocks gun]
sonny: You're as crazy as your old man.
Lulu: Stop!
Carly: What are the chances of me finding my husband alone down here?
Jax: Oh, what are the chances of you actually telling me what's wrong with you? Come on, you know how kate's -- what happened to your head? Did you hurt yourself?
Carly: That's what i've been trying to tell you -- something happened while i was driving home.
Monica: Yes, i -- um -- i'd like to report a robbery. Um, my car has been stolen.
Emily: Nikolas? You're upset about something.
Nikolas: Um -- yeah, the -- the car ride earlier? What if --
emily: "What if" what?
Nikolas: What if i -- what if i only thought thati imagined you in the road? What -- what if there was someone else really there?
>> on the next "General Hospital" --
Jax: Tell me what happened.
Jason: Was it about Sam?
Johnny: Do it.
Lulu: Johnny!
Sonny: You're dead!
Feb 5, 2008 09:40
Johnny: Stay back, Lulu. Don't get involved in this.
Sonny: Lulu, don't. Do not get in-
Lulu: Well, I am not listening to either one of you.
Carly: Oh, there was something that I -- I had to do when I was in a rush and -- and there was rain, you know, coming down really hard -
Jax: And for some extraordinary reason, you decided to drive yourself on a night like tonight?
Carly: You know, it's not supposed to be like this, Jax, ok?
Jax: Ok, ok, Carly, just calm down, just tell me. Just tell me from the beginning.
Carly: I was trying to call you.
[Carly sighs]
Jax: Carly, you -- just tell me what happened on the way home.
[Elizabeth gasps]
Jason: It's ok. It's ok, it was just a bad dream. I'm here, it's all right.
Jason: Do you remember what it was about?
Elizabeth: I don't know. I don't know.
Jason: Was it about Sam holding Jake?
Spinelli: The grieving blond one is gifted with surprisingly diverse black-ops skills like the picking of locks. Hmm.
Maxie: Yeah, well, my dad imposed a curfew, so I used to have to pick the lock that Georgie and I didn't have keys to.
Spinelli: Right. Um -- I must again question the wisdom of entering the domain of your deceased boyfriend in this manner.
Maxie: Well, the cops don't consider this a crime scene, Spinelli. They don't think Coop was murdered -- they think he killed himself -- and as Coop's girlfriend, I have every right to be in here.
Spinelli: Ok, then why did we employ nefarious tactics to enter the clean cadet's dwelling place and why are we whispering?
Maxie: Because I don't want anyone to know that we're here. And I don't care what my dad says -- Coop's innocent. And if the text message killer did kill him, then that means Coop knew something and that something could be in this room.
Spinelli: Oh, wait, wait. Then wouldn't it stand to reason that the real killer will eventually come looking for it, too?
Carly: Ok, um, first, you have to promise me you're not going to be mad, ok? Can you just promise me you're not going to be mad?
Jax: No, you know what, Carly? You know that you don't belong behind the wheel, especially on a night when it's raining because you haven't driven enough in the rain, ok?
Carly: Just promise me, please!
Jax: I promise I won't be mad.
Carly: Ok, I may have scratched the car a little.
Jax: Scratched it? I know what "a little" means to me. What does "a little" mean to you?
Carly: Don't joke -- it's not funny. There was rain coming down everywhere and there was stuff blowing all over the road, Jax.
Jax: "Stuff"?
Carly: I was trying to call you, ok? I was trying to call you and I looked up and there was something in the road, so I swerved, I hit the brakes. When I hit the brakes, I slammed my head on the steering wheel because I wasn't wearing my seat belt, ok?
Jax: Oh. Well, what -- what -- ok, what was so important that you -- that you had to drive in the first place, and why were you so distracted that you didn't wear your seat belt?
Carly: You said you wouldn't be mad at me!
Jax: I'm not mad, ok? I'm not, I'm not mad. You're ok -- as long as you're ok, that's fine. I don't care if you scratched the car. You're ok.
Jax: Just -- tell me. Just tell me what happened. Tell me what happened.
Carly: I can't.
[Jax sighs]
Elizabeth: Someone was standing holding Jake in the rain. I couldn't see who it was, but I was driving right toward them and I went to put my foot on the brake but I accidentally hit the gas and -- and then everything just went black. And then, next thing I knew, Jake was in the back seat in his car seat smiling and happy and everything was ok. I'd rescued him. He was safe. And I was safe. I was safe because I'm here with you. It was worth all the trouble of getting here.
Sonny: Lulu, get out of the way, let me take care of this.
Lulu: No, no! What exactly is being solved here?
Sonny: It's business.
Johnny: It's simple mathematics. Sonny whittles away at the number of Zaccharas in the family tree till there's nobody left to run the organization but Trevor. That's who Sonny's really got the beef with anyway.
Sonny: I got a beef with anybody who messes with my territory.
Johnny: If I'd known I'd be tried for the crime anyway, I'd let Moreau use my ship and your lanes to push his product.
Sonny: Well, you shouldn't have let Moreau or your ship get as far as it did, unless of course Trevor had something to do with that, which makes me right. You're too green to run your daddy's shop. That's why you should stay out of it, and you shouldn't get involved with this guy because you're going to be grabbed one too many times, and one time, you're not going to be rescued. Do you understand what I'm saying? You know what that means?
Johnny: Or I could ditch it all, let you and Trevor kill each other and have my shot at a real life.
Sonny: Once you get in the business, you can't get out!
Johnny: Maybe you haven't found enough reason to get out, huh? I've got your number, pal. Put the gun away -- you're not going to shoot me in front of a witness.
Sonny: Don't push me.
Lulu: Stop it.
Johnny: Don't try to impress me.
Sonny: Go ahead, challenge me.
Johnny: Go ahead. You wanted to do this since the ball when you were trying to draw out my father -- now's your chance. Something besides me has you angry, but if you want to take it out on me, be my guest. I'd say at this range, you won't miss.
Sonny: Ugh!
Lulu: Ah! Johnny!
Sonny: Crazy like your old man. Got your own game of Russian roulette going, but I tell you what -- I told your dad I don't play that game! I didn't play it with him, I'm not going to play it with you! You do anything again to make me want you dead, you're dead point-blank! And not because you want to find out what death is like -- you are done! You need to stay away from him -- I am warning you, Lulu. And if he has any sense, he'll warn you.
Lulu: He has.
Lulu: What is wrong with you?
Johnny: Everything. I thought you already knew that.
Lulu: So you're what -- what? Playing chicken with Sonny because you're crazy or -- or is what Sonny said true, you're tired of living?
Johnny: Tired of being alone -- sometimes it's the same thing.
Lulu: What?
Johnny: Logan is in love with you. He wants to give you a nice, safe life -- run with that.
Lulu: Well, what if I don't want to? What if I want to run away with you?
Ric: Yeah, I just thought I'd call and check in. You're cursing my name every day for leaving you in the D.A.'s position while I was gone.
Alexis: I'm fine, the girls are fine. Everybody's fine, we've established everybody's good. Have you made any decision about the waterfront property?
Ric: Hmm, no, actually. I -- I set the papers down a few days ago and I -- I haven't touched them since.
Alexis: Hmm -- ok. You sound, uh, rested. How's everything going there?
Ric: Yeah. Uh -- I can't believe I'm saying this but I feel good.
Alexis: Any reason in particular?
Ric: It's amazing how the perfect cup of coffee will make your whole day.
Alexis: Ok, be enigmatic -- I get it. So, just keep doing whatever you're doing.
Ric: All right, kiss the girls for me. Got to go. Bye.
Alexis: You're probably wondering why I'm using your porch as a phone booth.
Lucky: No problem. What's wrong?
Alexis: Nothing. Um -- you know what? This was delivered to my house. It's for Sam, it's from the TV studio, and it's marked "Urgent."
Lucky: Well, you should probably hang on to it. Sam's not here -- she left, and she won't be coming back.
Maxie: For all we know, the killer probably came back here and took all of Coop's incriminating evidence already. Go ahead -- say it, Spinelli. If Coop was innocent, if he didn't kill himself -
Spinelli: It's just if -- if the tall, quiet one was innocent, then explain to me why his D.N.A. matched the evidence found on wise Georgie the night she died.
Maxie: I don't know out that, ok? But I was thinking -- Coop told me that the last time he saw Georgie it -- it didn't go very well, so maybe he ran into her in the park and she freaked out and scratched him or something.
Spinelli: But why would he not tell you this?
Maxie: Because of all your stupid suspicions about him.
Spinelli: Oh. Ok, obviously cadet Barrett had much to hide -- maybe he had enemies hidden in the deep shadows that we have yet to discover.
Maxie: I should never have told you he was one of the masked men in the hostage crisis. Are you sure that it was Georgie that wanted you to look into Coop's past?
Spinelli: Wise Georgie was afraid for you, ok? Your sister loved you.
Maxie: "My sister." I can't believe that I took those words for granted for so long.
Spinelli: Well, um, perhaps this is not the time or the place for the wounded blond one to become emotional.
Maxie: Don't you get emotional when you think about Georgie? Doesn't it make you emotional to think that someone who loved you, no matter what anyone else said, is gone? That -
Spinelli: It just -- if -- if -- if the room down the hall was inhabited by Darth Daniel, Beelzebub's busboy, we shall be discovered.
Maxie: It's just, you know, not so long ago my mom used to hold me, and then Coop and Georgie and now, I mean -
Patrick: I'm not exactly sure what your objection is to Ian consulting on Nikolas' case.
Robin: Because you and I were on this from the start.
Patrick: He has the benefit of already treating a similar case.
Robin: With what he already admitted was an experimental protocol.
Ian: Ahem. I take it you have difficulties with exploring new approaches to a problem, Dr. Scorpio?
Robin: No, not if I know exactly what I'm dealing with.
Ian: Well, then it wouldn't be experimental, now would it?
Robin: Oh, ok. Did you identify a patient population or did you just trial an idea on a single case without any controls?
Ian: The patient lived. That made it worth pursuing.
Robin: Is the patient still alive?
Ian: Yes, but she has developed the most curious case of webbed feet.
Leyla: Sorry to interrupt.
Ian: Oh, you can interrupt me anytime.
Leyla: Um, it's Mr. Cassadine. He left again.
Officer: Ok, I have all your information about the stolen car but something isn't clear.
Monica: And what's that?
Officer: Well, according to the complaint, the theft happened well over an hour ago. What took you so long to report it?
Tracy: Monica. What's going on?
Jason: These -- these are amazing.
[Jason chuckles]
Elizabeth: That one's my favorite. I still can't help but imagine the four of us together -- one house, one family.
Jason: Me, too.
Elizabeth: Is there anything we can ever do to make that happen?
Jax: What's going on?
Carly: Ok -- um -- everything's ok. I just wanted to make sure Michael and Morgan were still asleep, and -- a they are, so -
Jax: Why?
Carly: Because I don't want them to hear what I'm going to tell you. I love you so much, Jax. I love you.
Jax: Carly, the thing that you couldn't tell me before you checked on them -- is it because you -- you totaled the car?
Carly: No! Oh, my -- no, it's not!
Jax: Did you hit your head really hard? I mean, should -- should we go to the hospital and get you checked out?
Carly: Please, stop, stop. I was coming home from the hospital when I wanted to call you and tell you what I wanted to tell you, but then I realized I just wanted to tell you to your face. I don't know how, I don't know why, I don't know why now, but I'm -- I'm pregnant. Yeah!
Sonny: If you haven't got any plans tonight, how are you feeling about dying?
Johnny: You shouldn't tease me, Lulu.
Lulu: You shouldn't tease Sonny.
Johnny: That's a different kind of danger.
Lulu: I'm dangerous now?
Johnny: The combination is.
Maxie: Thanks, Spinelli. That was strangely comforting.
Spinelli: The Jackal is glad to be of service to gentle Georgie's sororital unit.
Maxie: Thank you.
Spinelli: Yeah, we should expeditiously continue our search lest we be discovered.
Maxie: Wait, wait, wait. There has to be something around here somewhere. Oh, my god.
Spinelli: What is it?
Maxie: I think it's a Valentine's Day gift from Coop.
Maxie: What?
Spinelli: Company approaches.
[Car stops]
Feb 5, 2008 09:53
Announcer: The role of Marianna is now being played by Yeniffer Behrens.
Marianna: We're closed.
Ric: Oh, not even for coffee?
[Marianna sighs]
Marianna: The kitchen's shut down. There's nothing I could offer you.
Ric: Oh, that's ok. I -- I just thought I'd walk you to the bus stop.
Marianna: You came all this way just for that?
Ric: Sure, it's the least I can do. All the personalized coffee service you've been giving me -
Marianna: Oh. Every time I see you, I expect it to be the last.
Ric: What, you think I'm not going to say goodbye?
Marianna: Why should you? I'm a waitress and you're a tourist.
Ric: I'm hurt. You know, I have 75 years on Martha's Vineyard -- me and my family.
Marianna: Yeah, and you sold out.
Ric: Yes, I did.
Marianna: I didn't mean anything.
Ric: No, no, it's -- it's ok, it's ok. It's ok, you're right. I did sell out, a long time ago. I sold my soul for revenge and a house for a lot less.
Marianna: Hmm. I ruined your mood.
Ric: No -- maybe a little. What are you doing?
Marianna: You think I'm good with coffee, you should see what I can do with tea.
Spinelli: Don't --
[Maxie sneezes]
Maxie: Oh, god.
Logan: What are you two doing in here?
Maxie: We're looking for clues.
Spinelli: Oh, The Jackal urges prudence at this juncture.
Maxie: I have nothing to hide.
Spinelli: Ok, but much to lose.
Maxie: Coop wasn't the text message killer, and I'm going to find proof.
Logan: No, all you're going to find is trouble.
Maxie: What are you doing here, Logan?
Logan: Well, I needed some cash so I thought I might come back by and -
Maxie: Steal some money from my dead boyfriend? That's disgusting. You should get out of here before I call the cops. Now.
Spinelli: The crabby commando acted most suspiciously. Hmm. And no lights came on in Darth Daniel's room. He must be out. You know, his nocturnal habits and quiet but sour persona demand further examination.
Maxie: This is really weird, Spinelli. What if Logan -- what if Logan is lying? What if we're on to something here?
Spinelli: Then we should keep looking.
Maxie: Right, yeah.
Spinelli: Um -- was Coop taking any medication?
Maxie: Not that I know of -- why?
Spinelli: Well, whatever it is, there's only one left.
Robin: Nikolas, it's Robin. Can you please call me as soon as you get this? Bye. He's not answering his cell phone.
[Patrick sighs]
Ian: How erratic has Mr. Cassadine become?
Robin: Why? You -- you just can't wait to get your hands on a test subject?
Patrick: Robin, now you're just being difficult.
Ian: Why don't I join Nurse Mir at the cafeteria while you and Dr. Drake sort this out?
Robin: Oh, you're hitting on Leyla, too? How refreshing.
Ian: Oh. A, she's a beautiful, charming woman, a category I happen to like. And, B, for some reason, she seems to irritate you.
Robin: And that pleases you?
Ian: No, not in and of itself. But it does give me the chance to regroup for a second as I get the upper hand.
Patrick: You're going to have to just excuse Robin -- hormones. She's pregnant.
Robin: The only excess of hormonal activity in this conversation is coming from the two of you.
Tracy: So the last time I saw you, you were headed out of here with your tail between your legs, having just had your surgical privileges suspended -- pending a malpractice suit I brought against her for almost killing my husband on the operating table -- and here you are in scrubs. Did you have to hock your clothes to get booze? How much have you been drinking?
Officer: Excuse me. Were you driving under the influence when you say your car was stolen?
Johnny: Why are you really doing this?
Lulu: Showing you that life's worth living.
Johnny: I never said that it wasn't -- I just said mine was lonely, so if you're done proving your point -
Lulu: But you know that there's something between us.
Johnny: You don't need to convince me but you do need to stay away. Everything in my life just got a lot more complicated.
Lulu: By what?
Johnny: It's more like who. Someone showed up, somebody who I thought was long gone.
Lulu: You mean a girl?
Johnny: She's not a girl anymore.
Logan: You two seem to run across each other quite a bit.
Johnny: We were actually just saying good night.
Lulu: Is that what this was? What's wrong with you?
Logan: Who said anything was wrong?
[Logan groans]
Lulu: Logan?
Anthony: What kind of lousy security have they got in this place? They let you just walk in here?
Sonny: I'm a determined man. I make things happen.
Anthony: For a determined man, you look like hell. Something must be keeping you up at night -- can't be me. Must be a woman. A guy like you, it's probably two.
Sonny: I hear you're getting some feeling back. Right now might be the time you want to run for it.
Anthony: The sun won't see the day I run from the likes of you, you lucky bastard. Oh, that's all you are. You came in the back door of a strip joint. Huh.
Sonny: Think that's funny, huh? You want to insult me while we're in here alone like this?
Anthony: If you think it'll give you some class to kill a cripple, you go pull the trigger. Come on, be the man. Show me you ain't got butterflies for guts. Oh, yeah. You sure are angry over something. And do me a favor. You do this, you make sure Maria doesn't have to see it. You send roses, hundreds of them. Cover the blood so Maria never has to see it at all. And just so you know, your timing sucks. It was all just about to get interesting, really interesting.
Marianna: They're beautiful.
Ric: Yeah, they are.
Marianna: Aw. You must miss them.
Ric: Yeah, I do. Yeah, it's so complicated, you know. Now, you see -- see, Molly's mine, but -
Marianna: Mm-hmm.
Ric: Kristina is my brother's daughter.
Marianna: Ah. So, the same woman loved you both?
Ric: Again, it's complicated.
Marianna: Wow. The hatred you share with your half brother in competition -- let's hope it's not passed down to these beautiful girls.
Ric: Yeah. I think I have a lot to do with it being passed down. That's kind of why I'm here.
Marianna: Hmm.
Ric: That's why I want to stick around a couple more days, too.
Marianna: How about your precious papers?
Ric: Well, not so precious anymore. You know, I watched the moon rise tonight as the -- as the sun set and -- I don't know -- there was something so amazing about it, beautiful and uncomplicated -- kind of like you.
Marianna: Maybe I'm not so simple.
Ric: Yeah, there's a difference, but -- look, this place had such a -- a black spot on my history for so long, I -- when I leave, I -
Marianna: I'm not -
Ric: What -- interested, available -- well -
Marianna: I'm not sure.
Ric: Of what?
Marianna: This is a really good idea.
Ric: Well, there's only one real way to find out.
[Carly chuckles]
Jax: You're pregnant?
Carly: Yeah.
Jax: We're going to have a baby?
Carly: Yep. I told Dr. Lee I'm a woman who's used to getting what she wants.
Jax: Well, when -- when -- when did it happen?
Carly: Oh, sit down, sit down. I -- it had to have happened on this couch the night before you went to Hawaii.
Jax: Wow.
Jax: No vitamins, no drugs -
Carly: Uh-uh.
Jax: No -- no temperature thing -
Carly: Just good old-fashioned wishful thinking.
Jax: And some good old-fashioned romance. I love you.
Carly: Dr. Lee said I had to be careful.
Carly: You know, I mean, it's still early and everything.
Jax: Of course. Oh, what about the -- the bump on your head? The -- the -- in the car?
Carly: I'm fine, I'm fine.
Jax: How do you know? We should go see her. We should go make sure -
Carly: I'm ok. I called her. I've already called her. She's not there. She's not there. You know, it's going to be ok. Everything is going to be ok because nothing is going to take this baby away from us.
Jax: Pregnant -- you're pregnant.
Carly: I'm pregnant.
Elizabeth: I was only wondering if you ever picture things -- things the way you would like them to be.
Jason: Well, you -- you know what's funny is my mind doesn't usually let me make things up, but now -- I mean, sometimes I do and I think it's because of you and Jake. But I don't -
Elizabeth: But you deal in realities. I know. I look around and I realize what a foreign concept this must be for you -- no penthouse with bulletproof windows, no armed guards at the door.
Jason: Yeah, it's different. But it's good.
Elizabeth: You have two speeds. You're either completely on or completely off, and I love that about you -- I'm not trying to change you -- and I love being here and our time together. But I would just like you to see that -- that here might be something in between on and off. You might even get to like it.
Robin: I don't know what happened to Nikolas. Maybe Dr. Devlin's guinea pig quest scared him off.
Patrick: I'm sorry.
Robin: What?
Patrick: I'm sorry -- the hormone remark, it was uncalled for and unprofessional.
Robin: Yes, it was.
Patrick: I guess what I'm trying to say is I -- I'm ok with this pregnancy thing.
Robin: Well, apology accepted, but just for the record, my hormone comment -- whew -- right on the money.
Patrick: No sign of Nikolas.
Ian: She's not going to be a problem, is she?
Patrick: Robin? In what way?
Ian: Well, my approach to medicine is not for the prissy or the faint of heart, and if Dr. Scorpio's going to be in my way -
Patrick: Robin is a leader in her field, not only medically but ethically. I would trust her with my life without a second thought. If you have a problem with her, Ian, you have a problem with me.
Ian: Well, I stand warned. The day is done.
Nurse: Dr. Drake -- E.R. is sending up a hit-and-run victim with a head trauma.
Patrick: Got it.
Monica: This woman is nothing but a vicious liar.
Officer: So you haven't been drinking this evening?
Monica: I mean, I recently had to throw her out of the house for forging my late husband's will when she wanted to take everything, so she'd say anything to get even with me. And just for the record, as far as her husband almost dying on the O.R. table, it was because he wanted desperately to get away from her. So will you just go and find my car?
Patrick: What happened?
Jerry: I'm not sure. I mean, I found her lying there by the side of the road like a broken rag doll.
Alexis: Sam told me that she was getting serious about you. I sensed that she was a little worried about you finding out some of the things that she was keeping from you.
Lucky: Yeah, and I found out about them.
Alexis: Would it have made a difference if she had told them to you herself?
Lucky: Probably not.
Alexis: May I ask what would've happened if you had never found out about them at all?
Lucky: What happened?
Lulu: Oh, Logan's hurt and he can't be bothered to see a doctor.
Logan: Easy, easy, easy.
Lucky: That usually implies a person doesn't want to be bothered by someone asking a lot of questions.
Logan: Lulu and I got in a fight. I just needed to blow off some steam so I went to a bar. Ran into a jerk who had a couple jerk friends.
Alexis: You know, you should probably get it checked out. You could've cracked a rib.
Logan: No, no. No, I'll be fine. I just need to be -- lie -- lie down for a while. I could have gone to my place.
Lulu: Yeah, and if things got more serious while you were -
Logan: I'd have managed. I don't need a visiting nurse like your pal, Johnny.
Lulu: Oh.
Lucky: What's that mean?
Alexis: Hello? Hi, Jerry. When? I'll be right there.
Alexis: Sam's been in an accident. She was hit by a car -- hit-and-run.
Maxie: I have no idea what this is. There's some kind of logo on it. I've never seen it before. I mean, I used to get drugs for Lucky all the time when he was using and I never got him anything like that.
Spinelli: Ok, so if he wasn't an addict and he wasn't taking some unmarked medication for some hitherto hidden condition, then why did he have it?
Maxie: Well, maybe it wasn't his. Maybe he found it and he was holding on to it until he could figure out what it was. We're not going to know anything about it until we find someone who can tell us what it is and what it's used for.
Spinelli: We know what these are for -- identifying the dead.
Maxie: How did Coop's dog tags get in here? I know for a fact he had them on the day that he died.
Spinelli: That's because these do not belong to the clean-cut cadet.
Maxie: Whose are they?
Spinelli: Logan Hayes.
Lulu: They got you good.
Logan: I'll be fine.
Lulu: Yeah, you will be if you don't move the rest of the night.
Lulu: I doubt Lucky will be back. You can stay right here on the couch.
Logan: What, no bed rest? Oh! Ugh!
Lulu: I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking.
Logan: Oh -
Lulu: We have to get you comfortable.
Logan: Come here. I know what I need.
Lulu: I'm going to go get some blankets.
Logan: All right.
Sonny: Are you talking or rambling?
Anthony: What do you care? Pull the silencer already.
Sonny: You're paralyzed. What good would it do if I put a bullet through you? You're not going to feel it.
Anthony: So use the spare pillow. Get it done already.
Sonny: Don't tempt me. Your son's trying to fill your shoes.
Anthony: So? I'm not wearing them. That's why you came -- to warn me to warn Johnny so you don't have to waste him. Talk like that makes you soft.
Sonny: He's your son. Love him or hate him, good or bad, every son wants to be his father.
Anthony: It's all changing.
Sonny: What is?
Anthony: You'll see. And you're not going to know what hit you.
[Anthony snickers]
Ric: Would you like a glass of wine?
Marianna: Uh -- no, I don't think so.
Ric: Oh, come on. You said on the way over here that you didn't have to work tomorrow.
Marianna: I don't.
Ric: What, is it the wrong color, wrong vintage?
Marianna: You know, you're a really nice and attractive man -
Ric: Look, I'm not trying to loosen you up or anything.
Marianna: I'm sorry. It's just that I don't do this kind of thing.
Ric: I don't -- I don't want you to be anybody but who you are. Look, why don't I just -- why don't I just drive you to the -- to the bus station, or better yet you know what? I'll just -- I'll drive you home.
Marianna: You know, I've been watching you these past few days. And you -- you were so dark and shut off when you came. You've changed. And while it's not easy or possible, change is good. And I'm just wondering if I'm wrong to stay so shut off myself, you know?
Jax: I can't wait to tell Michael and Morgan at breakfast.
Carly: Um -
Jax: They're going to be really excited.
Carly: Wait, I want to -- I want to hold off on that, ok?
Carly: That's why I wanted to make sure they were still asleep. Just for a little while, ok? I want this to be ours -- all ours.
Jax: Ok. Ok. It'll be our secret -
Carly: Mm-hmm.
Jax: Just for a little while.
Patrick: We need full labs but our first priority is to get her stabilized.
Alexis: Patrick, wait -- how is she?
Patrick: Well, she hasn't regained consciousness. E.M.S. said they found her this way. We're going to the O.R. She's got multiple lacerations -
Alexis: Who would do this to her? Who would just leave her sitting there like an animal?
Patrick: Come on.
Alexis: Go.
>> On the next "General Hospital" -
Claudia: We're not going to work together, you're going to work for me.
Jason: Looks like blood on your bumper. You hit something.
Det. Rodriguez: The victim was your old girlfriend, Sam McCall.
[Sam screams]
Lucky: What Sam was telling the truth? What if this killer is alive?
Feb 6, 2008 09:56
Elizabeth: I never thought sneaking around and grabbing a night in a safe house would make me happier than I've ever been. I don't want to go back to the real world.
Jason: Well, it's --
Elizabeth: Except I do get to go pick up my boys.
Jason: Well, Sonny's back. We don't have to rush.
Elizabeth: Well, I'll take all the time I can get with you.
Jason: Um -- I'll get more wood for the fire.
Jason: So, no -- no dreams?
Elizabeth: Only one. But it was short. I don't even know what happened.
Patrick: It wasn't just the force of the car hitting her. She was thrown back and she hit her head on the ground. She's stabilized but she's still in very serious condition.
Alexis: Has she regained consciousness at all? I want to know what happened.
Patrick: Sam? Well, it looks like she was here for a split second, but she lost consciousness.
[Alexis sighs]
Patrick: Alexis, if you want to go home --
Alexis: Oh, I don't want to go home. I'm going to stay here. I want to be here when she wakes up. I want to know who did this to my daughter.
Patrick: Yeah.
Luke: Lucky? Oh, god. Talk about a bad day getting worse --
Trevor: So, what is this? Redecorating the office, moving the furniture around? Some show of rebellion?
Johnny: I haven't stepped foot in this part of the house all morning. I went for a run.
Trevor: Well, who did it?
Claudia: I did. It's time things got shaken up a little around here.
Trevor: You want to inflict your personal taste on this house? Do it in another room. I have documents, very sensitive documents -- huh -- that can't be misplaced.
Claudia: Do not speak to me like I'm some teenager who interrupted her father at work with her baton-twirling.
Johnny: Did you actually do that?
Trevor: Oh, no, no, no. The Claudia that I knew would never perform in public. Not once. So obviously, that's changed.
Claudia: A lot has changed. Daddy's paralyzed. Trevor is all dark and dour and seemingly in control. My little brother is all grown up and running into trees, from the looks of it.
Johnny: I'm fine.
Claudia: From the few things that uncle Rudy told me over the years, I imagine you're anything but. That's just one of the things I intend to fix while I'm here.
Johnny: I don't need fixing.
Trevor: Tell me -- how long do you intend to stay?
Claudia: Hmm. Till I'm good and ready to leave.
Marianna: Mmm.
Ric: What's wrong?
Marianna: I shouldn't be here.
Alexis: Patrick -- a little slow on acquiring this skill, but I want to thank you for saving my daughter's life.
Patrick: I had an assist from Dr. Devlin, who's a new staff member here.
Alexis: I want to thank him, too.
Patrick: I'll let him know when I see him. He disappeared after surgery. I haven't seen him since.
[Pager beeps]
Patrick: Excuse me, Alexis.
Alexis: Ok.
Jerry: Here you go. How's Sam?
Alexis: We're not going to know for sure until she wakes up. If you hadn't been where you were at the time and found her, she -- who would have done something like this to her? Who would just leave her lying in the street and drive away?
Ofc. Riley: Dr. Quartermaine?
Monica: Yeah?
Ofc. Riley: We found your car.
Monica: Oh, oh -- where?
Ofc. Riley: At the edge of town, and smashed into a park bench. Looks like somebody must have been joy-riding.
Monica: Well, why -- why do you say that?
Ofc. Riley: Well, it doesn't look like the bench was the first thing the car hit. And there were traces of alcohol in the front seat. We brought it in to dust for prints, but you can pick it up later.
Monica: Ok. Well, thank you.
Tracy: Hmm. Something awfully fishy about all this.
Epiphany: Mr. Breyer in 501?
Leyla: The toe infection?
Epiphany: Yeah. His B.P. went to 70 while he was in the E.R. his attending was concerned about sepsis. We're going to need that kidney function test, stat.
Leyla: Yes, Nurse Johnson. Nurse Johnson --
Epiphany: What?
Leyla: Did you go home last night?
Cassius: She most certainly did not.
Epiphany: Now, how do you know that? Are you stalking me now?
[Cassius chuckles]
Epiphany: And what are you doing with this?
Cassius: It's my V8 Fusion. I love my V8 Fusion. It's delicious.
Epiphany: It is not yours. You took it off the cart. This hospital paid for this juice. That means it is there for the patients' well-being, not yours. Didn't your mama teach you any better than that?
Cassius: You're tired, exhausted. You worked two double shifts.
Leyla: Yeah.
Epiphany: I am doing my job. You'd best stick to doing yours.
Det. Harper: Hey, Spencer --
Lucky: Hey.
Det. Harper: I'm here to follow up on the McCall hit-and-run.
Lucky: Sam -- she hasn't regained consciousness. I'm actually heading over to the spot where Jerry Jacks found her.
Det. Harper: All right, well, let me know if you turn up anything.
Lucky: And you let me know if Sam wakes up. I called Mac. I put myself in charge of this investigation.
Elizabeth: Ok, Gram. Well, I'll be by soon to pick up the boys. Ok. Hey, thanks for the news. I love you, too. Ok, bye. So, my gram said the contractor called and that they repaired all the damage the fire did to the house, and the boys and I can move back in.
Jason: That's -- that's good news.
Elizabeth: What's wrong?
Jason: Nothing. I checked your car to make sure you didn't do any damage when you went off the road and --
Elizabeth: And what?
Jason: It looks like you hit something.
Elizabeth: Oh. Well, I'm sure it was just a guardrail or rocks or something.
Jason: No, it looks like -- it looks like blood on your bumper.
Elizabeth: I feel so bad. I hit some little animal and didn't even realize it.
Jason: Well, and judging from the size of the dent, it -- I mean, it couldn't have been too big. If -- if you would've dozed off, you would've known if you hit a deer. Maybe it was a dog.
Elizabeth: Well, I need to go back and look for it. I mean, what if it's not dead? Or what if there's tags? At least I can call the owners.
Jason: You let -- let me do that, ok? I just -- I want you to go11. I want you to see the boys and just try to put this out of your mind.
Elizabeth: Leo and Robin didn't want to check me out. I hadn't slept in days. I probably still had sedatives in my system. But because of my selfishness, a little animal's hurt.
Jason: You're not selfish.
Elizabeth: Sometimes I feel like the most selfish person in the world. When I'm alone and holding Jake, I can't help but feeling like you should be there. I've deprived you of a son and Jake of a father, and --
Jason: Jake is safe with you as his mother -- and with Lucky. It's just how it has to be.
Elizabeth: I need to go.
Jason: You know what? I can warm your car up for you.
Elizabeth: No. No, it's fine. I love you.
Luke: What is he doing here? I'm gone two minutes, and what happens? You and son of Baldwin are in this "morning after" routine in my own house!
Lulu: Since when is it your house? I've been here more in the last year, which I think will qualify me for squatter's rights.
Luke: Hey, that's nothing but a diversionary tactic.
Logan: Mr. Spencer, look, this is -- it's -- honestly, it's not what it looks like, ok?
Luke: Oh, god! I can't believe you said that.
Lulu: No --
Luke: I've used that one about a million times myself.
Lulu: Dad, who cares what we may have done or where we may have done it? I am not a child anymore.
Logan: Listen --
Luke: I know, I know, I know.
Logan: Mr. Spencer, from where I'm sitting, with all due respect, you have no right to judge, criticize, or parent this girl. You left that to everybody else because you couldn't be bothered, because you didn't want to take the responsibility. Just like my worthless excuse for a father.
Luke: Hey, you finally found a subject on which we agree.
Logan: Look, Lulu's a good person, ok? She's forgiving. But she's also smart. She knows I've hurt her like no one else. But what she doesn't know is how there is nothing that I would not do to win her back completely.
Luke: That right there is what you should be worried about.
Lulu: Dad, stop.
Logan: Listen, ok? I -- I'm not good at patience. I'm not good at a lot of things. But I don't care how long I have to wait for her. Ok? For her to care and -- and trust me the way I care and trust about her, because I'm in this for the long haul. Because I love her.
Ric: I'm sorry. I didn't mean to pressure you into anything.
Marianna: No, it's nothing you did, or what we did. It's just --
Ric: You know what? Tell me.
Marianna: You didn't see the way the clerk looked at me when we got here last night, did you?
Ric: No, I was too busy looking at you, why?
Marianna: You know, this place could be really small in more ways than one.
Ric: Hmm.
Marianna: And people know who I am, and people talk.
Ric: Mm-hmm, let them.
Marianna: That's easy for you to say. I mean, you get to leave here.
Ric: Huh. Come on, now. We didn't do anything wrong. You -- you didn't do anything wrong. What's the matter? You don't get to have a life?
Marianna: Huh. You know, I -- I should know my place. And people are going to start looking at you differently, too.
Ric: Well, I'm pretty much hated by everybody in Port Charles, so I think I can take a few nasty stares.
Marianna: It is so hard to believe that people don't like you.
Ric: Yeah, well, I earned their hatred. And I realized that I didn't like myself much back then. And as far as "your place" is concerned, I'd say that is right here in bed. So I'm going to go down to the breakfast room, I'm going to raid it, and I'm going to make you coffee for a change. Ok?
Marianna: Huh. Why are you so good to me?
Ric: Oh -- it's hard for me to believe that anybody could be anything else to you. Stay here.
Trevor: If you're so intent on joining us, why don't you let me guide you through a couple of things?
Claudia: What, you mean steer me around the things you don't want me to know about? Why are you making it sound like you have no intention of getting me involved in family business?
Johnny: I already told Trevor why I thought he brought you here. I'm being difficult. Translation -- "Johnny has his own brain and can think for himself." Trevor thought you'd show up, do what you're told, and he'd be back to his regular tricks like he was with dad.
Trevor: Tell me, why are you two so quick to think the worst of me?
Claudia: Because you make it so easy. No one's ever seen the best of you. Is there a best of you, Trevors? I mean, Uncle Rudy certainly didn't think so.
Trevor: Well, he was never in any position to judge.
Claudia: I disagree. He's managed to make a lot of money, and people like him. I like him.
Trevor: A dirtbag loser.
Claudia: He's up front, he's in charge, he's taken the heat, unlike you, Trevors.
Trevor: "Trevors"? Why do you call me that?
Claudia: Because that's how I remember you before I got shipped away. This figure in the shadows, always there saying the right things, doing the right things. I member you as being helpful. You were always helping, like a servant. The dutiful Trevors -- got paid for his "sincerity."
Trevor: All right, kids. Let's stop the parlor games. If you ever think that you're going to take on Sonny Corinthos and his like, we're going to have to work together.
Claudia: Oh, we're not going to work together, you're going to work for me. Is that clear?
Marianna: Hello? What are you doing calling me? No, how did you know? No, I haven't done it. I can't. I said I can't! Just leave me alone.
[Noise]
Ric: Oh, somewhere there's a nail in the carpet out there. I just lost it. Well -- well, I got to say that that shirt definitely looks better on you than it does on me. Hmm. So, I got your coffee. I hope it's the way you like it. And what I'm told are the best cranberry and orange muffins on the entire island. You're shaking like crazy. Did something happen while I was gone?
Luke: I think I'll hit the road. Tell Lucky I was here looking for him. No -- on second thought, don't do that. I was thinking maybe I'd crash here, but -- my weakened heart can't take another scene like this. You should have stayed at the Quartermaines'. At least that way, you could smuggle blankets, bourbon, and bonbons down to me in the boathouse.
Lulu: Well, if it means you'll stay here, I'll go back.
Luke: Oh, no. Thanks, anyway. I didn't -- I don't want to be here. You know, Lucky's got all these kids and everything. I'm not good on diaper patrol. And a hangover always needs a nice, quiet, peaceful place to recover. Not that I'm drinking.
Lulu: Or smoking?
Luke: No!
Logan: Huh.
Luke: Doctor told me not to, didn't he? Listen, she may have given you another chance, but you get no more chances with me.
Logan: Mr. Spencer, that's ok. You're not really my type.
[Lulu chuckles]
Luke: Eh --
Logan: Listen, if I said too much --
Lulu: No, you said everything that needed to be said. And what's more --
Logan: What, what?
Lulu: No, it's -- it'll sound funny.
Logan: Well, say it.
Lulu: I actually believed you.
Logan: That's good.
Lulu: Am I wrong to?
Johnny: It was all a setup, you know. Dad's been a lot worse. Trevor just thought you were --
Claudia: That I was still naive. Well, I passed that a long time back. How are you, really?
Johnny: What do you care?
Claudia: I care.
Johnny: You do? Is that why I haven't heard from you in god knows how long?
Claudia: Look, I thought it was best for you if we didn't have any contact.
Johnny: No, no, that is a lie. But I don't have the energy right now to search for the truth.
Claudia: I didn't want to go, John.
Johnny: I do. I want to break the sound barrier getting out of this place, but I'm here, aren't I?
Claudia: That's because running's no good. It doesn't matter how far you go, or how fast. You'll never get away. Hey, could you stay?
Johnny: So we can catch up?
Claudia: We'll have time for that. I want to know all the power players in this war that's been brewing with Sonny Corinthos.
Johnny: Then you better learn all you can about somebody named Jason Morgan.
Det. Rodriguez: Excuse me. This is a restricted area. You got any business here?
Jason: No. What -- what happened?
Det. Rodriguez: It was a hit-and-run late last night. Funny you should just happen to show up.
Jason: Why is that?
Det. Rodriguez: The victim was your old girlfriend, Sam McCall. Any chance you might know something about this?
Elizabeth: Hi.
Lucky: I heard you signed yourself out of your room last night.
Elizabeth: Yeah, I did. What's going on?
Lucky: It's Sam. She's in intensive care.
Elizabeth: What happened?
Lucky: She was a victim of a hit-and-run.
Feb 6, 2008 09:59
Marianna: You know, I was looking outside the curtains and I realized how often I walked the beach. And you could see this place from over there. And I -- I've always wondered what it would be like to spend the night here.
Ric: Hey, you -- you know what I realized when we were downstairs? Um -- we haven't really introduced ourselves.
Marianna: Well, I know your name. It's Richard. I heard your father call you that at the coffee shop.
Ric: Oh. And your name is Marianna.
Ric: Because I -- I saw your name on -- on your nametag.
Marianna: So what does that say about us?
Ric: Well, that we're comfortable with one another, you know? That we don't need names or -- it doesn't matter what we do or what we have.
Marianna: So what does?
Ric: What it feels like when we do this.
Ric: Hey, you said you're not working today, right?
Marianna: Uh-uh.
Ric: I want you to show me your favorite beach. Ok? And then I'm going to take you to lunch, and I don't want to hear any arguments, ok?
Marianna: You don't have to do this.
Ric: Well, ok, you don't have to come if you don't want to.
Marianna: No, I want to.
Ric: Yeah? Ok. I'm going to go take a shower and -- and get the day started. Unless you want to go first.
Marianna: No, you go first.
Ric: Ok. All right.
[Shower runs]
Ric: Or if you want to save time and water --
Monica: Oh, Tracy, will you back off? Or I will gladly give you reason to file assault charges along with this stupid malpractice suit.
Tracy: Why didn't you go home last night?
Monica: Because I didn't feel like it. I decided I would -- I would take a nap in my office.
Tracy: Did you nap or pass out?
Monica: What are you getting at?
Tracy: I don't know. But I know that your surgical privileges were suspended, and you left here with alcohol on your breath. Next thing I know, you're wearing hospital scrubs and spouting some ridiculous story about your car getting stolen. There is a lot to get at there. I can't wait to find out what it is.
Elizabeth: When did this happen?
Lucky: I hear sometime between 10:00 and Midnight.
Elizabeth: Where?
Lucky: Outside of town. This is all my fault.
Elizabeth: Why do you say that?
Lucky: Sam and I -- we had it out after you and I talked about the stuff, and I -- it just got ugly and I basically threw her out.
Elizabeth: No, don't blame yourself. You don't know what happened out there.
Lucky: No, there's something else. After I pretty much unloaded on Sam, about 10 minutes later, she called and she said that she'd gotten a message from the text message killer, that he -- he was after her.
Elizabeth: That's not true. It was Cooper Barrett.
Lucky: I know, that's what we all want to believe. Unfortunately, I wasn't in the mood to believe anything Sam had to say. But what if Sam -- what if Sam was telling the truth? I mean, what if this killer is alive, and was after her?
Lulu: Does that hurt?
Logan: Well, if I say no, will you touch me again? Come on. I want to be able to joke around without you actually thinking I'm always trying to jump your bones.
Lulu: Oh. Well, when you put it that way --
Logan: Well, look, let me put it like this, ok? I would love to make love to you, but I know you're not ready -- for me or anybody else. For the record, I meant every word I said to your father, especially the part about doing anything I could to take back what happened.
Lulu: What really happened?
Logan: Look, I know you make a big difference in my life, Lulu. When I'm -- when I'm with you, when we're connecting, I get the most incredible feeling. And when we're --
Logan: When I'm not, you know, I go out and do something crazy.
Lulu: Oh. Huh. I'm not sure if that's a good thing.
Logan: Look, from where I sit, it's all good. And I know it could only get better.
Johnny: Sonny Corinthos runs a coffee-importing business as a front. Jason Morgan is his partner on paper.
Claudia: But his enforcer in the real world.
Johnny: If it were up to Sonny, I'd be dead by now, but Jason Morgan, for some reason, has stood up for me several times, given me the benefit of the doubt.
Claudia: Well, that's a strange weakness for a man in Morgan's position. It -- it must be connected to some personal weakness he has.
Johnny: "Weakness" is not a word I'd use to describe Morgan or Corinthos.
Claudia: Everybody has weak spot, baby brother.
Johnny: Even you?
Claudia: I heard that daddy went crazy at some big party and -- and that it was partly because of you and some girl. Hmm? Is that right? Is there some girl in your life? I mean, other than for medicinal fun and games?
Johnny: I don't want to talk about it.
Claudia: I used to tell you everything. I remember, I used to tell you almost everything. And you've grown up so handsome and so strong and dark. But I guess that couldn't have been avoided, not in this house, huh? There is no love that can share that with you. There's no love that can chase shadows that big and that hungry, and that dark. So you do whatever you want out there in the world. Don't fall in love, Johnny. Love hurts. Love kills.
Lucky: Well, I don't want to start a mass panic, and tell people the text messenger is still alive -- could be on the loose. I mean, it's possible Sam could be lying to me to get sympathy.
Elizabeth: Well, is she going to be ok?
Lucky: She suffered from a lot of injuries.
Elizabeth: Hmm.
Lucky: We'll know more when she wakes up.
Elizabeth: So you're here in just an official capacity?
Lucky: Yeah, I'm telling myself that, trying to be rational, telling myself it's not my fault.
Elizabeth: It's not. You didn't put her in the middle of the road, you didn't hit her.
Lucky: I told her to get out and never come back.
Elizabeth: Well, do you guys have any clues as to who did it?
Lucky: We still got people working on it. I mean, well, rain has worked against us. Probably wash away any evidence that was there.
Elizabeth: It's really a bad night to be driving.
Lucky: What, you were out in the storm?
Cassius: Look, no juices on me. I'm clean.
Epiphany: Cassius, why are you here trying my patience? If you are waiting for me to have another meltdown, it is not happening.
Cassius: Nurse Johnson, look, you lost your son. And you allowed yourself a moment, one brief moment to grieve.
Epiphany: You are not a shrink. You're an orderly.
Cassius: And now you're soldiering on.
Epiphany: That means you take your orders from me.
Cassius: Huh. Which is why I have to drink my V8 F2usion, so I can keep up with you. Which is also why I know when you're tired. See, I take notice of people, all people. That's something my mama did teach me.
Monica: Bobbie, I have a favor to ask of you.
Bobbie: Of course.
Monica: Can you take me home?
Bobbie: Are you all right?
Monica: No, but you can't ask any questions. Just give me a ride home.
Bobbie: Yeah, you want to change your clothes first?
Monica: No questions, please.
Luke: So here you are. You are a very difficult woman to track down. Where did you spend the night?
Tracy: I had work to do in the boardroom.
Luke: You locked the door and slept on the boardroom sofa.
Tracy: What do you want, Luke?
Luke: Do I have to want something to talk to my lovely wife?
Tracy: Well, let's see. You don't have a bank account to embezzle from because I no longer have one. Of course you want something.
Luke: What if I said I want you?
Tracy: I wouldn't believe you.
Claudia: Hmm.
Trevor: Claudia -- come on. Let's clear the air.
Trevor: You're right, I admit it. I didn't realize how much you've changed.
Claudia: You didn't think I had it in me, hmm?
Trevor: Not the little girl who left here at 16. Even your father was surprised.
Claudia: Hmm. Maybe at first, but then I think it quickly turned to fear. He may be paralyzed, but he's not stupid. Unlike some of the moves that have been made in this business since I've been gone.
Trevor: Exactly what do you know about this business?
Claudia: Oh, I know that I wouldn't have tried encroaching on a local kingpin's territory unless I had guaranteed myself a foothold. Say, that prime waterfront property that used to belong to Lorenzo Alcazar.
Trevor: Well, I'm working on that.
Claudia: You're not doing a very good job of it. From what I see, there are a dozen ways that you could've done this differently. Successfully. But what I see here -- it's pure antagonism. It's as if you had some score to settle.
Trevor: Is that what the new you is really all about? I mean, are you trying to settle some score with your father? Because he's gone. And I'm here in his place.
Claudia: I thought Johnny was in his place.
Trevor: Come on, no more games. I know things about you.
Claudia: And I know things about you.
Ric: You know, when I was out before, it was pretty cold.
Marianna: No more than usual.
Ric: No, I don't think you're going to be warm enough.
Marianna: It's ok, really.
Ric: Well, still, I think you're going to be a little warmer in this.
Marianna: What is this?
Ric: I was souvenir shopping for the girls earlier and I passed this window and I saw this and I saw you in it.
Marianna: I can't accept gifts from you. You know, this is turning into something all wrong. You know, have a nice walk.
Ric: Well, where can we meet for lunch?
Marianna: No, you can have a nice lunch at the Copper Kettle. The oyster stew is really fresh.
Ric: Ok, where can we meet for dinner?
Marianna: Nowhere. I have an early shift.
Ric: Oh. Well, then why don't you just stay the night? I mean, it might save you a nice bus ride. Hey, hey, hey. What's going on?
Elizabeth: Hello?
Jason: Hey. Can -- can you talk?
Elizabeth: No, not really. Can I call you back?
Jason: Yeah. Yeah, sure. Are you ok?
Elizabeth: Yeah, yeah. Let me call you back. Ok, bye.
Trevor: Come on, Claudia. I don't want to get off on the wrong foot here.
Claudia: I don't like being used. Although, I can't remember the last time that happened.
Trevor: You and your brother -- you still need me.
Claudia: I'll be clear with you, ok? I will keep you around as long as I think you're being useful.
Trevor: Yeah, you talk to me like that and behave like that, I'm going to destroy you and your whole family.
Claudia: But you'd destroy yourself in the process, Trevor. And something tells me you have far too much time, effort, and blatant manipulation involved on my father and Johnny to let that happen.
Trevor: Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk.
Claudia: Admit it, it's fun being you. What's more powerful than controlling the family with the power? And it's been very lucrative for you. There's no reason why that can't continue as long as you know your place.
Trevor: I know exactly what my place is. I am only the lawyer.
Claudia: Good. Johnny tells me that we're in a stalemate situation with this Corinthos.
Trevor: That's because Sonny sees Johnny as a kid who won't make a show of force to prove otherwise.
Claudia: What is your relationship with Corinthos?
Trevor: It's complicated.
Claudia: Ok. Just so you know, that won't always be a satisfactory answer. We need something to shake up Corinthos and the other families, just to get them off-guard, while I get the lay of the land.
Trevor: I'm sure that I will think of something.
Claudia: I've already thought of something.
Marianna: You can't offer me gifts and then make fun of me when I turn them down.
Ric: I wasn't making fun of you, I'm just trying to get you to talk. I'm trying to find out how this wonderful evening dissolved into -- I don't -- I don't know what this is.
Marianna: I'm sorry. I'm ruining everything.
Ric: Ok, look -- no, it's all right. Look, this is not a gift. Just think of it as something in exchange for all the coffee that you've given me, all right? Especially outside of my old family home. It was very cold. Sounds fair, right? Don't you think?
Marianna: Ok.
Ric: All right. Can you get it? Here you go.
[Marianna gasps]
Ric: Huh?
Marianna: It's beautiful.
Ric: Ah, only if it fits.
Marianna: Oh.
Ric: Here. There you go. There you go.
Ric: How does that feel?
Marianna: I don't think anything's ever made me feel this warm.
Ric: Good. Come on, let's go.
Ric: Hmm. Hello? Hello? Oh. Must have gotten the wrong room.
[Ric sighs]
Ric: Oh, that looks great. Come on.
Logan: I know I'm in no position to give you things.
Lulu: Stop right there. I don't need things.
Logan: Yeah, but it doesn't mean that I don't want to give them to you.
Lulu: What I need from someone is love. To feel like I'm the only one to be allowed to be myself, good and bad, and still have a place to fall when I want to just close my eyes and feel nothing but safe.
Logan: Come here. Come here.
Lulu: Huh.
Johnny: Should I be worried?
Jason: About what?
Johnny: Sonny's back and was his charming homicidal self with me. I thought maybe you came to finish the job.
Jason: I can talk to Sonny.
Johnny: I don't think that's going to be enough.
Jason: Why is that? Is Trevor planning something I should know about?
Johnny: Trevor tried, I'll give him that. Somebody just told me something, and -- huh -- I'm having a hard time believing it.
Jason: What's that?
Johnny: Love kills. What do you think?
Lucky: Cruz --
Det. Rodriguez: We might have a tire print. There's nothing else to go on. Sorry. I know this is important to you.
Lucky: Listen, if you get anything new, you call me.
Det. Rodriguez: I will. Oh, there was one funny thing, though. While I was here, Jason Morgan just happened to show up.
Elizabeth: My god, did I do this to you?
Claudia: I'm interested in meeting this Sonny Corinthos. Call that meeting. Sonny: I need you to find somebody. Jax: You're scared of something. You don't want to tell me what it is? [Tires screech] Elizabeth: Do you have any idea who did this to you?
Feb 7, 2008 09:19
Luke: I thought I might find you here.
Tracy: How come you always show up when I don't want to see you?
Luke: Tracy, you know that isn't true.
Tracy: It is true. Our marriage is over.
Trevor: With all due respect, Claudia, you don't know the players. The five families up here never even heard that Anthony Zacchara had a daughter.
Claudia: Well, then it's about time they did. I'm particularly interested in meeting this Sonny Corinthos. I can't quite picture him in my mind, but from what I've heard, I'm fascinated already.
Sonny: Oh, man.
Max: Boss, you wanted me to do something for you?
Sonny: Yeah. I need you to go pick up Michael from school, bring him here.
Max: Ok.
Jason: I got your message. What's up?
Sonny: Uh -- I need you to find somebody.
Jax: How is the beautiful, glowing mother of my child doing?
[Carly giggles]
Carly: Good, good. I have an appointment with Dr. Lee later, but I couldn't wait to start thinking about decorating the nursery.
Jax: How come your car's not out front?
Carly: Oh, I had it sent to the shop so I could get the damage repaired.
Jax: Damage? I thought you just scratched it. What'd you hit?
Elizabeth: I didn't know you were conscious.
Sam: Where am I? What happened?
Elizabeth: It's ok, you're at General Hospital.
Sam: What do you mean? What's happening?
Elizabeth: You were hit. You were found in the middle of the road.
Sam: What do you mean, "hit"?
Elizabeth: By a car. It was a hit-and-run.
Elizabeth: Do you have any idea who did this to you?
Nikolas: Robin? I -- I'm sorry I missed the consultation earlier. I just had a bit of -- a bit of car trouble. I promise I'll be there later today, ok? I don't think I should drive again.
Emily: Yeah, I'm glad. Nikolas, I'm so worried about you.
Nikolas: Huh. Coming from you, that's almost funny.
Emily: Yeah. I love you.
Nikolas: I love you, too. I missed you last night.
Emily: I thought you needed to be alone.
Nikolas: Independent thought, independent action -- how is that even possible with a hallucination?
Emily: I don't know.
Nikolas: So I found my car -- what's left of it anyway -- the chop shop, lower southside. I still don't know where I left it, but the shop got busted. There was enough of my car there for someone to contact me, but it doesn't matter, I don't remember. It's probably good that I don't know what I did in a rage behind the wheel last night. I don't think I could stand feeling responsible for hurting anyone else.
Sam: What are you doing here? You don't care what happens to me. You're obviously not even on duty. Want Lucky -- oh, I want -- please get me Lucky. I want to talk to him.
Elizabeth: I'm going to get you a doctor.
Sam: No, I want Lucky!
Sonny: We need to get a lead on this guy, Moreau. I want to know what he's transporting, why he's so mysterious, and what his interests are in Port Charles. Are you here, or -- because -- what are you doing?
Jason: No, I'm here -- yeah, I'm here.
Sonny: But when you're looking down at the thing --
Jason: Ok, I get men looking for Moreau, I got men at the monastery where Lulu was held --there's nothing. It's like he doesn't exist.
Sonny: You know what? If you had a muzzle on Johnny Zacchara while I was gone and --and, you know, figured out what was -- what was on the1 boat besides Luke Spencer's daughter -- you know, every time I try to -- I have a chance to just knock him off, something gets in the way.
Jason: Maybe that should tell you something.
Sonny: What is it going to tell me? Are you trying to tell me something?
Jason: Sonny, I'm just saying maybe we should do nothing at this point and see what happens. You're too upset about Kate.
Sonny: I'm not upset about Kate. I'm just trying to -- you know, I'm getting back in business, I don't want to let things alone for a while. Are you busy or -- or what?
Sonny: I went to visit Anthony Zacchara, and for a head on a stick, he still -- he's still present enough to know what's coming down. I want to know what it is because I don't want to be surprised.
Trevor: You got plenty of time to meet Sonny Corinthos.
Claudia: Could this room be any more dark and depressing? No wonder my father went crazy here.
Trevor: Claudia, you got to take my lead in things like this. Corinthos is a sociopath -- you get to meet him in the wrong time, at the wrong place, you end up dead.
Claudia: You know the biggest mistake you, Sonny Corinthos, or anyone can make? To think that I can be taken off-guard that easily. I can't. Jot this down on your to-do list, Trev. I want that red painting from the parlor brought in for the east wall, where it can get the west sun. I want someone to keep fresh flowers in here at all times. Get some drapes that didn't come from the mortuary, will you? Ahem. And most importantly, call that meeting with the five families, let them know that absenteeism will be cause for reprisal.
Trevor: Claudia -- Claudia? What do you want me to tell them about you?
Claudia: Nothing. It'll be a nice surprise.
Trevor: Not wise. That's being reckless.
Claudia: So are you by arguing with me.
Johnny: Looks like you got more than you bargained for.
Trevor: Ha-ha. Johnny, I'm a patient man. Your sister needs to be kept in line, and you're going to help me do it.
Jax: I wanted the car, Carly. I mean, I --
Carly: Look, we're really busy right now, ok -- the new hotel in Hawaii, we're working on the spa here -- oh, did I mention we're having a baby?
Jax: Yes, but what does that have to do with doing a rush job on the car?
Carly: Look, I just -- you know, I don't want the scratches to get rusty. It's no big deal, ok?
Jax: Look, Carly, I don't care if you totaled the car, as long as you and the baby are ok -- and you didn't mow anyone down in the crosswalk.
Carly: I just --
Jax: Ooh, that's nice. Green and gold, I like that.
Carly: You're so Australian.
Carly: Look, I -- you know, I'm going to have lots of appointments, lots of things to do with the baby. You're just going to have to take me everywhere I go, ok?
Jax: I -- you're acting weird, ok?
Carly: Maybe I'm acting pregnant.
Jax: No. You're scared of something. You want to tell me what it is?
Luke: So, what are you doing down here, reliving the good times? We did have some fun running this joint, didn't we?
Tracy: I'm actually looking for a place to live. Monica may have thrown me out of the house and frozen my assets, but I still own this place.
Luke: It's funny how that happened, isn't it? It's almost like we knew that we would need this place someday.
Tracy: "We"?
Luke: I want to take you down into one of the staterooms, and live on love and free food from Kelly's, and just play like we're young and starting out -- roughing it.
Tracy: Oh -- I have roughed it with you, Luke, it's all I've ever done.
Luke: We could put together a nice living with each other, Tracy.
Tracy: Until when? Until I win the malpractice suit and you can ride the gravy train again? Luke, I helped you kidnap Laura, I let you live off of me.
Luke: And love you.
Tracy: Like that's an honor? Like it's even exclusive? Now, I know you're not going to tell me, but where did you go when you snuck out of the hospital -- after weeks of running me ragged while you tried to die?
Luke: Does it really matter? Would details hurt any less?
Luke: You see, that's what I'm talking about right now.
Tracy: I've missed you -- just not enough.
Carly: Yes, I'm scared. I'm afraid, and I don't want to be -- that's the thing.
Jax: Why don't you tell me? Is there something with the baby?
Carly: No, no. As far as I know, the baby's fine and I want to keep it that way, ok?
Jax: But?
Carly: It's something Jason told me.
Jax: Oh -- oh! Is it something to do with Sonny again?
Carly: No, no, it has nothing to do with Sonny.
Jax: When are we going to get some rest about this --
Carly: Stop! It has nothing to do with Sonny, ok, stop! Jason has reason to believe that the killer is still out there.
Logan: Someday I want to see you in a necklace of rubies.
Logan: I get laid up like this and I think back to the war, and sometimes the stuff you see when you're not in action -- it's just as tough to take. Everybody talks about the deaths of our men in Iraq, but nobody else thinks about the other people who suffered -- the women, especially. It's like they were in a constant state of mourning for their own lives, floating like shadows by mounds of bodies containing their dead husbands, children, brothers. I used to close my eyes at night and try to -- try to get rid of those images, but they were like scars I -- so anyway, I would -- uh -- instead, I would imagine the -- the girl that I would love one day that would get rid of those scars. I used to imagine her in a tall field of grass or wheat, her hair moving and blowing in the same direction across her face, always hiding it from me. But her eyes -- they were the same color, like an amber. And around her neck, a string of red -- red stones. I used to try so hard to see her face but I never could -- till I met you. I thought I would have to go through girl after girl to find her, but it was you.
Nikolas: Oh, god, I -- I know what you're about to say.
Emily: You would never hurt me.
Nikolas: If that's true, I didn't protect you, either. If someone else came in the ballroom that night, I -- I should've been able to stop them, I should've been able to keep you safe, keep you alive. I -- I keep trying to see someone there, Emily, but I -- I just can't.
Emily: Yeah, well, maybe there's a reason, Nikolas. Maybe it's someone so unexpected that --
Nikolas: Stop making excuses for me.
Emily: You know what I'd like to do, Nikolas? I'd like to try and make you laugh again.
Nikolas: Lesley said the same thing. Yeah, I went to see Spencer today, but I couldn't stay. You know why? Because he kept picking up on all the pain inside me.
Emily: Maybe we need to end the pain.
Nikolas: No. No, you know what that means.
Nadine: Ah, Nikolas.
Nikolas: Nadine, hello.
Nadine: Oh -- I interrupted you and Emily, didn't I?
Lucky: Sam?
Sam: I knew you'd come.
Nadine: We were really worried about you at the hospital last night.
Nikolas: It's what hospitals get paid to do, I guess.
Nadine: Oh, come on. I thought we were past this awkward stage.
Nikolas: Excuse me?
Emily: She means me.
Nadine: I mean, you talking to Emily all those times at the hospital -- how normal I thought it was?
Nikolas: Oh, right, because of your -- your grandmother?
Emily: Her aunt.
Nadine: My aunt Rayleen. I guess it's a big thing these days, actually -- "whisperers" I think they call them. Horses and dogs, ghosts --
Nikolas: Emily's not a ghost.
Nadine: Of course she isn't. She's an extension of you and the love you shared. Love's a lot stronger than most people realize. It bridges all kinds of distances.
Nikolas: How do you make it stay?
Nadine: I don't know. My aunt would probably -- wait, you can see Emily, can't you?
Lulu: We shouldn't do this.
Logan: I can't think of a reason why not.
Lulu: No, Logan, stop.
Logan: Come on, we want this. Come on.
Lulu: Logan -- Logan, I said no!
Trevor: She wants a meeting with the five families -- just like that. Well, you know, the last time we had a similar tete-a-tete, it turned into a disaster because of you. Now, if she walks in there like that --
Johnny: If she walks in there, she's going to leave the same wreckage behind her that I did, only she won't have to use a baseball bat.
Trevor: And that's a serious problem.
Johnny: That's your problem. You're the one that brought Claudia here to replace me as head of this family so you can continue to call the shots.
Trevor: No, Johnny, I brought her here to help you because you wouldn't listen. And if she makes the same mistake, she's going to end up getting hurt.
Johnny: That's not going to happen.
Trevor: Isn't this ironic -- that I want you to be the rational one and talk to her? But she's going to listen to you because she's got a soft spot.
Johnny: Yeah, well, it looks like she lost that, too, when she left. I mean, I remember gifts every once in a while for birthdays or Christmas till I was, what, 9, and then nothing -- oh, except for my father trying to shoot me and winding up killing my mother in the process. I don't know, maybe Claudia got out at the right time. I just wish she'd taken me with her.
Sonny: You want the day off? Because I need you to find out what you can about alcazar's old waterfront property.
Jason: Well, Skye's gone.
Sonny: Then you need to find her and make her an offer. I mean, you wasted alcazar for her, right? She owes us.
Jason: Why -- why do you keep holding that?
Sonny: It's nothing. It's just somebody I may -- I may need you to find.
Jason: "Somebody" not Kate?
Sonny: Not Kate.
Jason: I'd think the last thing 4you'd want is another woman right now.
Sonny: Where -- where did that come from?
Jason: Excuse me, I got to -- I got to take this. Hey.
Elizabeth: I need to see you.
Jason: Yeah, me, too.
Elizabeth: Can we meet at the house?
Jason: Yeah. On my way. I have to take care of something.
Sonny: Ok, first of all, we're not done.
Jason: All right, Sonny, I need to take care of this. I'll -- I'll be back.
Sonny: No, no, we're not done.
Jason: I'll be back.
Sonny: We're not done!
Sam: There is so much that I am sorry for, so much I would love to do over again.
Lucky: I'm in charge of your case. I intend to find out who did this to you, but I -- I need you to be honest with me.
Sam: "Honest"? So, what, you're already geared up not to believe me?
Lucky: I already have a suspect.
Feb 7, 2008 09:23
Sam: You think you know who hit me?
Lucky: Why don't you tell me what happened?
Sam: After I left your place, I -- I went down by the docks just so I could get some air. And I got a text message. Then I called you, and you didn't believe me. And as soon as I hung up the phone, I got another text message, and it said that "I can see you, can you see me?", And I thought somebody was joking around with me. So I started saying something -- I'm not -- I don't remember -- I don't remember what I was saying. I just know in the end I said that the text message killer is dead. And immediately I got another text message saying "no, you are." Which led me to believe that he was close enough, that he could hear me, and then he just sort of came out of nowhere.
Sam: No! Help! Get off me! And I started running, and I ran -- I think it was down to elm street -- and I saw this house, this place. Help!
Sam's voice: I went up to the door and I started pounding on the door, and I was yelling for somebody to help me, and he came up from behind.
Sam: No! No!
Sam's voice: There was a struggle.
Sam: Get off me!
Sam's voice: And he fell down the stairs, and I thought he was unconscious. I went to rip off his mask --
[Man shouts]
Sam's voice: And then he grabbed me. I got away, and I -- I started running again, and I thought it would be smart if I tried to head to the police station, so I tried to cut across old route 9. And he caught up to me and there was a struggle, and I hit him and -- I don't know. The next thing I know, there was -- there was headlights.
Lucky: The last person you remember seeing was your attacker. What happened to him after you were hit?
Sam: I don't know -- maybe he was scared off by the car.
Lucky: But he was trying to kill you?
Sam: Yeah, I would say so. But I think he was hurt. I don't -- I know when I was fighting him, I connected to his side twice, so whoever he is, he's got to be hurt. I don't --unless, of course, you do not believe there's anybody.
Logan: I'm sorry.
Lulu: "Sorry" does not even cover it, just stay away.
Logan: I just wanted to make love --
Lulu: And I said no! What is wrong with you?
Logan: What is wrong with you?
Lulu: Nothing is wrong with me! You're the one sitting there talking about the image of -- of loving this girl, and then you start pawing me!
Logan: Ok -- now that is not true, ok? You were getting into it, too.
Lulu: Oh -- "getting into it"?
Logan: Look, you know what I mean.
Lulu: Yeah, I know what I felt, and it was terrible.
Logan: I'm trying to explain it, ok, but I'm sorry I don't always have the polished words like your friend Johnny.
Lulu: This has nothing to do with Johnny and me! This has to do with me and you, and you not listening, or you not hearing me and not giving a damn anyway!
Logan: That -- that is not true! That is not true, Lulu, I got a little pushy.
Lulu: Oh, is that what you call it when you force yourself on someone who doesn't want you?
Logan: So you admit it -- you don't want me?
Lulu: Don't you dare twist my words. I said "stop" and you didn't.
Logan: What am I supposed to do? Ok, that -- that's the problem with you -- you run so hot and cold all the time, I can't keep up. What am I supposed to do, just sit in a corner like a dog and wait on you to call me?
Lulu: That is not -- that's not fair!
[Pounding on door]
Lon: Go away!
Lulu: Don't you dare order people around, this is not your house!
[Lulu sighs]
Scott: Oh, hey, Lulu. Um, is Lucky around?
Lulu: He's not here -- you can consider me gone, too.
Claudia: Hey, where you going in such a hurry?
Johnny: Nowhere -- let's be honest, that's exactly where my life is headed.
Claudia: What are you talking about? John, look at you -- I think you turned out ok, in spite of everything.
Johnny: Yeah, well, looks can be deceiving, can't they, Claudia? I can't drive without going 40 miles over the speed limit, I jump off of buildings, I even blow up family ships, and look -- barely a scratch on the outside. It's messed up. But you want to know what's even more messed up? I like it. I like seeing how far I can push life, I like going for that rush. Maybe that's exactly how it started with dad, huh? He wanted a taste of something wild, but he just couldn't satisfy it, so he went crazy in the process.
Claudia: I don't think that's how it happened.
Johnny: You wouldn't know, you weren't here.
Claudia: Well, it's not going to happen to you.
Johnny: And you don't know the answer to that, either, because I'm willing to bet you're not going to stick around long enough to see it out.
Claudia: I didn't just leave, john. I was sent away -- and you didn't say goodbye. I tried, you didn't even want to talk to me. Look, I don't know if you remember this or not, but when you were little, one year for your birthday, I bought you one of those little toy pianos. You used to bang at it all the time until your mother sat you down at the real one? Anyway, you kept it on a shelf in your room, and the day that I left, I came in, I said, "hey, john, I love you." And you picked up that toy piano and smashed it up against your dresser until it was in splinters. And I left. I've always wondered if you still play.
Nadine: I know you probably don't want to tell me now because you're afraid I'll think you're crazy, but it happens to more people than you think -- people with open minds and open hearts. I wish it could happen to me. Are you just going to stand there and let me keep going on and on, or are you going to tell me -- can you see Emily?
Nikolas: What -- yes, yes! Yes, I can see her. Now, I don't know what to think about it. I -- she was just standing there at Wyndemere, in her ball gown. I can see her, I can hear her, I can touch her! Then I started seeing her at the hospital, and every other place, for that matter -- like it's the most natural thing in the world. I don't -- she comes and goes as she pleases -- or as I please, I guess. I don't understand it.
Nadine: She comes when your 0heart needs you to see her.
Nikolas: It has nothing to do with my heart -- it's in my head, it's in my brain. She's not -- she's not real. She's not real, she's just a byproduct of this tumor that's growing inside my head, the same thing that's causing all these rages and blackouts. You know what happens? If I get this cut out, you know what happens? I lose her. That's torture. So you tell me how life can be this cruel.
Nadine: I just can't believe you'd be this much of an idiot.
Luke: If I am this useless lowlife that you want nothing more to do with, why the malpractice suit? Why spit where you eat?
Tracy: Because I told Monica she was in no condition to operate on you, and she did it anyway and I almost lost you. Of course, I lost you anyway, because Skye helped you slip past all of us on the very day -- the very day you were due to be released from the hospital to my care. So much for all your talk about marrying me being the smartest thing you ever did in your life. Luke Spencer, you have hurt me for the very last time. I am sick to death of trying to mean more to you than you want me to. And by the way, I can't live here -- there's too many memories.
Luke: We're such a good team, Tracy, we are. And face it, who's going to have us but us?
Tracy: Just going to have to find out.
Luke: You should know me well enough to know that I don't give up that easily.
Nikolas: What?
Nadine: Go ahead, have another one of your blackout temper tantrums. I'm just going to say the same thing.
Nikolas: I think -- I think this conversation needs to end right here.
Nadine: And I think you need to wake up. You've been given a gift.
Nikolas: "A gi--" no. No, what I have been given is a piece of hell, ok? My fiancée is dead, and now it's in my hands to kill her all over again.
Nadine: Wasting every precious second in the meantime.
Nikolas: What -- I'm sorry, what -- what?
Nadine: Do you know how many people would give anything for just 10 more seconds with someone they lost so suddenly and tragically? Just to be able to tell them what they meant to you, or what they'd always mean. And here you are, literally walking around with the woman you love, moaning into your beer about how she's going to be taken away from you again. She's already taken.
Nikolas: Yeah, maybe by me.
Nadine: What does Emily say about her death?
Nikolas: She says I would never hurt her, but she's a hallucination. I have to rationalize that, you understand?
Nadine: There was a killer loose on that island, Nikolas -- two of them, in fact -- so why would you bring this on yourself? Why would you continue to blame yourself instead of spending each and every precious moment remembering what was good and beautiful about what you had together? Yeah, it's temporary, but isn't it better than having no time with her at all?
Carly: You know, when Coop died, I thought this was all over.
Jax: Well, does Jason have any real proof that it isn't?
Carly: No.
Jax: Do the police?
Carly: No!
Jax: So Jason's just going on, what, instinct?
Carly: You know what? He wouldn't tell me everything, but you know what? He wouldn't have told me anything at all unless I had a reason to be worried. And I was really rattled at first, but now I'm really freaked out because I'm pregnant, and I can't be running around town with a gun in my hand and a chip on my shoulder.
Jax: Oh -- you don't know how happy it makes me to hear you say that. Really. You know, I mean, I'm going to be a lot happier knowing that you're at home, armed with a warm bottle of milk in your hand, a little baby girl on your hip.
Carly: "Girl"?
Carly: You think that I'm going to have a girl?
Jax: Oh, I just have a feeling.
Carly: Based on what?
Jax: Based on the fact that you're not going to allow any more male energy into this house.
[Phone chimes]
Jax: Do you want me to check it?
Carly: It's my mom.
Jax: It's your mom.
Carly: Yeah. Wow, I don't want to start feeling this kind of anxiety, that's for sure.
Jax: Hey, don't worry, ok? Don't forget, you've got three strapping young lads living in this house to protect you.
Carly: Thank you.
Sonny: Sit down. Thanks for picking him up. You know why I asked Max to pick you up from school, bring you here?
Michael: I can guess -- Jason told you, didn't he?
Sonny: You mean about this? Did you think Jason wasn't going to tell me?
Michael: Better you than mom.
Sonny: Why would you say that?
Michael: Because she'll get all weird and crazy.
Sonny: She has every right to.
Michael: Why?
Sonny: Why? Because your mom and I have done everything we can to make sure that you're -- you're happy and safe and you have a good life.
Michael: What if I want my own life?
Sonny: Does that mean having a gun?
Michael: I heard Jason tell mom that he thinks the killer is still out there. I want to protect her.
Sonny: There are better ways for you to do that, Michael.
Michael: How?
Sonny: You don't go anywhere near a gun, that's final. Promise me that.
Michael: Only if you promise me that the killer will never get in our house again.
Scott: So what just happened between you and Lulu?
Logan: Nothing.
Scott: Huh?
Logan: Look, I already got it from Lulu, I don't need it from you, too.
Scott: Well, now, maybe you did something to deserve it.
Logan: Yeah -- I tried to kiss her. Is that a crime? I tried to get some kind of commitment out of her and, you know, it just -- got out of hand.
Scott: What do you mean, "got out of hand"?
Logan: I mean I -- I got a little -- I got a little aggressive, I, you know, came on a little strong.
Scott: How aggressive did you get?
Logan: Enough to make the girl freak out -- you saw her.
Scott: Well, that's strike two.
Logan: What does that mean? What does that mean?
Scott: It means that when I want something or someone, I go after it with a vengeance. Now, since you're my son, you know, maybe you got that gene. Usually people get hurt -- like with Spencer when I wanted custody of Laura. Logan: Yes, yes, I know about the court thing.
Scott: Yeah, well, ok, secrets came out, and everybody tried to protect Lulu. But in the end, she ended up at he courthouse, and she saw me pulling out of Nikolas that her mother was raped by her father.
Johnny: You're missing the minor keys -- that's what makes the song sound so damn lonely.
Nadine: You need this operation, and the longer you wait, the longer you risk winding up dead, and I know Emily wouldn't want that for you. You have a son and you have a life, so stop wasting it. Stop wasting whatever message that Emily or your love is trying to send you, and stop torturing yourself. You know, I have officially shot my mouth off like a blowtorch in a box of fireworks -- sorry. Promise not to tell anyone about this -- people think I'm weird enough already. I don't need them looking at me like I'm a carrier.
Nikolas: Hey -- thank you.
Nadine: I'll see you at General Hospital.
Emily: She's right. Nikolas, don't waste me! Come on, you remember when you used to chase me around the gazebo for a taste of ice cream?
[Nikolas chuckles]
[Emily chuckles]
Nikolas: It was a lie -- it was just an excuse to kiss you.
Emily: Yeah, well, you don't need excuses anymore. Come on.
[Emily giggles]
Emily: Nikolas, come on, time's wasting. Can you feel it?
[Piano plays]
Johnny: See -- it's lonely.
Lulu: No, it's not. It's more like a sad, beautiful yearning.
Claudia: You need to let up on Johnny.
Trevor: Huh. Aren't you suddenly the devoted sister? You know, it's against my instincts, but I set up a meeting with the five families, and I'm going with you.
Claudia: Aren't you suddenly the devoted lawyer?
Trevor: No, I'm going to back you up because you're going to need me. No telling what Sonny's going to do when he sees you -- and he's not going to cut you any slack because you're a woman.
Claudia: Good -- I'm not going to cut him any slack because I'm a woman, either. It should be a very interesting meeting.
Sonny: I'm not sure Jason has proof that this guy is still out there.
Michael: That doesn't mean he isn't.
Sonny: You know what? You touch a gun, you're punished.
Michael: Punishment is something for kids.
Sonny: Michael, you know what? You think you're a man, right? Ok, but you're not. You're a kid, mostly a good one, I want you to stay that way. Are we clear on that?
Michael: Can I go now?
Sonny: Yeah, yeah, go ahead. Listen to me, ok? You don't have to go out of your way to try to protect your mother and Morgan. Jason and I are on it.
Michael: I guess that's why Emily and Leticia are dead.
Sam: Well, are you going to go to the police with this?
Lucky: The department's already on the hit-and-run.
Sam: I mean the killer.
Lucky: I need something to take to them.
Sam: Besides my word, which is, what, obviously not good enough?
Lucky: Where's your phone with all the text messages on it?
Sam: I lost it somewhere on the docks. Ok, fine, you said you had a suspect in the hit-and-run. Who?
Elizabeth: Hey. Hey. Jason, Sam was hit --
Jason: I -- I already know.
Elizabeth: I went to see her, she doesn't look good. What if I'm the one who hit her?
Sam: Why won't you tell me who you think hit me? Lucky: Just don't tell anybody anymore information until we have more to go on. Max: A new Zacchara called the meeting.
Feb 8, 2008 11:56
Max: Hey. I just got word that the Zacchara organization called a meeting of the five families.
Sonny: I had -- I had a run-in with Johnny here last night. He's probably gearing up to pull something.
Max: Yeah, well, it wasn't Johnny who called the meeting.
Sonny: Then who did?
Trevor: Claudia, don't disappear on me like your brother, Johnny. We need a strategy for the meeting with the five families. So where are you?
Claudia: I'm already in Port Charles. I thought I'd come in early and get the lay of the land. You never know who you might meet.
Johnny: That piece was inspired by a French poem. It describes a woman's soul as a landscape of moonlight and music.
Lulu: Hmm. I don't know why I came here.
Johnny: I do.
Logan: Look, I don't have time to waste doing this.
Scott: Now, listen to me. We got to get you checked out. You know, that cracked rib -- we got to make sure it doesn't go into your lung or something.
Logan: Listen to me, I don't care, ok? Lulu -- ah -- Lulu's the one who's really hurting here. I'm such a fool. Who else knew her father raped her mother?
Scott: Well, actually, a lot of people knew that.
Logan: Yeah, except for me. Oh. I never would've come on so strong if I had known that.
Scott: Well, you know what? It's too late for that there, Casanova, ok? So let's just get you checked out, then I've got to go check on Alexis. Her daughter Sam was hit and left for dead -- it's a wonder she's still alive.
Sam: Why won't you tell me who you think hit me?
Lucky: I have no proof. Just like there's no proof that this text-message killer -- who's supposed to be dead -- is the one who chased you in the road when you got hit.
Sam: That's great -- meaning you don't believe me.
Lucky: Meaning if there's proof leading to the person or persons who put you in the hospital, I'll find it.
Sam: Oh, why, because it's your job, and only because it's your job? I guess there's nothing personal, huh? There's -- there's nothing personal left between us at all?
Jason: You don't know that you hit her.
Elizabeth: I checked myself out of the hospital against my doctor's advice. I fell asleep at the wheel on the way up here. I was jolted awake by what I thought was hitting the shoulder of the road. What if I hit Sam? There is so much animosity between the two of us, no one would ever believe it was an accident.
Elizabeth: A judge would think I had plenty of motives. All of Sam's lies and manipulations would come out -- how she watched Jake get kidnapped and did nothing, how she hired thugs to attack me.
Jason: Ok, you're getting -- you' getting ahead of yourself.
Elizabeth: I mean, everybody at Wyndemere knows that we got in a fight. It would seem awfully convenient if I just fell asleep at the wheel and -- and just forgot about hitting her.
Jason: Well, you don't remember.
Elizabeth: It's going to seem like I don't care whether she lives or dies. I need to say something before it looks worse than it is.
Elizabeth: What? Jason, please don't tell me you want to try to cover this up because if I did this, I can't live with myself if I don't say anything.
Jason: Before you come forward, we need to be absolutely positive that you did it. You -- you weren't the only person on the road that night.
Lucky: This really isn't the time to get into what happened between us.
Sam: Which part exactly? The part where we were actually really happy together and were getting really close, or the part where you found out all of the awful things I did and threwme out of your house?I don't want you on this case out of guilt.
Lucky: I was the reason that you were wandering alone and upset that night.
Sam: No, Lucky, I was! I did all of those awful things and I take full responsibility for everything that I have done. And the person who almost suffered the worst here was Jake. And to think -- to think that I could've done all of those awful things that I did to an innocent child because I was so consumed with hate for his parents. I had kind of a breakdown, you know, mentally and morally, and I -- I felt abandoned and so betrayed. But you changed that for me. And if I -- if I knew that we had the slightest chance of working things out, that you would actually find it in yourself to believe in me -
Lucky: I got to get on this.
Sam: My phone is down by the docks. Go find it, please. Maybe it'll prove to you that I'm actually telling the truth.
Lucky: Oh, about that? Anyway, you know what?
Sam: Oh, my -- I cannot believe I have made you so bitter.
Lucky: It's not like it's a new emotion for me. Just do yourself and everyone else a favor and let me handle this text-message killer angle my way? Don't tell anybody any more information until we have more to go on.
Sam: Oh --
Lucky: I'll be back.
[Marianna laughs]
Marianna: Oh, ha!
[Marianna squeals]
Ric: Cut --
[Marianna chuckles]
Ric: At least let me see it.
Marianna: Nope.
Ric: Come on.
Marianna: You are not allowed to make fun of me anymore.
Ric: I'm not making fun of you. You know I wasn't, really. I'm just -- I've never seen anybody so excited to find a seashell before.
Marianna: That's all you see, isn't it? It's funny how we -- we just find it so interesting now that it's dead. It's so fragile and beautiful. Look -- each one has an etching of a flower across it. See?
Ric: Mm-hmm, it's beautiful.
Marianna: Hear it rattle?
[Seashell rattles]
Ric: I thought I was only supposed to hear the oceans.
Marianna: Do you know how hard it is to find one of these this time of year that hasn't been broken by a storm or stepped on by careless people? Huh? There's, like, little fragments inside, they're like little doves. My mom used to say they should be released because there's no sensible reason why god created beauty for beauty's sake. That it was what was inside that counted, and if it stayed all shut up inside and guarded, it was a waste -- even if it had to be broken once for it to fly free.
Ric: Your mother was a very wise woman.
Marianna: Yeah.
Ric: You know, people are like that, too -- you know, people like -- well, like yourself.
Marianna: Huh.
Ric: A beautiful woman like you?
Marianna: I think I liked better when you were making fun of me.
Ric: I said I wasn't.
Marianna: Yeah, you say a lot of things.
Marianna: Why should I believe you?
Ric: Why are you suddenly doubting me?
Max: Word on the street is Johnny Zacchara may not be at this meeting -- you know, after he went crazy at the last one.
Sonny: Well, it's probably Trevor who called the meeting using the Zacchara name. I imagine that there's, you know, a lot of talks about Alcazar's pier. Um -- they're definitely a gold mine and we can't let anybody in the Zacchara organization get their hands on it. But you know what? They haven't had any success getting their hands on it anyway so they're probably going to use a stall tactic, a diversion -- maybe even an ambush, like the Metro Court.
Max: Well, it's at the same place as it was the last time. It's in the backroom of that sports bar over on Water Street -- out by the packing plants, back room?
Sonny: Ok, I want you to get as many men as you can, check every inch of the bar, the exits, the people working the joint. I want a guard posted in the alleys, in the buildings around the block. I want to know exactly what I'm dealing with before I sit down to that meeting.
Claudia: Trevor, why don't you have a drink a calm yourself down?
Trevor: Because I'm not going to go to any meeting without a plan of attack.
Claudia: Wait, who said I'm attacking anyone? This is more of just a getting-to-know-you session.
Trevor: Where do you think you are, in Milan? This is not a wine and a cheese tasting with your dopey uncle and his merry money launderers. We're going to have a meeting with the five families. They are hitters, heavy ones -- including Corinthos -- who might want you dead on sight.
Claudia: I'd really love to know what this ugly history is between you and Sonny Corinthos -- it colors every word you say about him. It's fascinating.
Trevor: We have to have an agenda.
Claudia: You go in there with your big plan and something goes wrong and you've got nothing. We do this my way, all you have to focus on tonight is making an introduction. I'll wing the rest.
Trevor: "Wing it"? You're not going to be this reckless on purpose, are you?
Claudia: Watch me.
Carly: I can't find my purse. I had to have left it at home.
Jax: Well, that's because you have other things on your mind -- like being pregnant.
Carly: Ok, shush! It's supposed to be our secret, we're not supposed to tell anyone.
Jax: Oh, secret.
Carly: I'm really happy that Dr. Lee canceled my appointment because hanging out with you is so much more fun.
Carly: Or it was.
Jax: I want to go say hi.
Carly: You want to go say hi?
Carly: I want her to go eat at a fast-food joint.
Jax: Be a nice little mommy-to-be now.
Carly: Fine, you go say hi. I'm going to go to the bar and not have a drink.
Jax: That's good.
Carly: Oh! I'm so sorry.
Carly: Thank you. You look familiar.
Claudia: I get that a lot.
Carly: I don't think I've seen you here before -- I mean, I know most of the regulars. I'm Carly.
Claudia: Oh.
Carly: I'm one of the owners.
Claudia: Claudia.
Claudia: Hi -- very impressive hotel you have here.
Claudia: You must be a very savvy businesswoman.
Carly: Well, I didn't start out that way.
Claudia: Me, too.
Carly: So, are you in town on business?
Claudia: Yeah, family business, but if I like what I see, I might stick around for a while. I've pretty much done Europe.
Carly: You've done the shopping.
[Carly laughs]
Claudia: Via Della Spiga, Milan? I swear, I'd pretty much go naked as long as I could wear myshoes -- as long as they were red.
Carly: Living well is the best revenge.
Claudia: Not always.
Carly: Hmm.
Claudia: I take it they're regulars?
Carly: He's my husband. She's just sad.
Claudia: I -- I did feel like I recognized her.
Jax: You know, I still can't get past the fact that you lived a life as a whole other person.
Kate: Well, not anymore. Connie is my past and it has to stay that way -- no matter how much Sonny wanted to love her.
Jax: Mm-hmm. But you're still in love with Sonny, otherwise you would've gone back to New York and "Couture" magazine.
Kate: Ooh -- we still need to meet to discuss my new magazine.
Jax: Oh, is that why you wanted my help? Is that why you to me about your humble beginnings?
Kate: In a way. What I really want is for you to help me get Sonny back.
Michael: Uh, Mercedes? Please do not let my brother in my room anymore?Thank you.
Michael: Here it is.
Michael: There.
Spinelli: I've jackaled several hospital records and there's no evidence that indicates that the clean-cut cadet's room was -- was being medicated.
Maxie: Would you stop calling him that? His name was Coop.
Spinelli: His name was also "Three" according to his part in the metro court crisis with the unhinged one.
Maxie: Ok, are you going to help me or not?
Spinelli: My mission is to find generous Georgie's real killer.
Maxie: Good. Then keep hackaling -- or do whatever it is that you do.
Spinelli: Ok, so just to review, if cadet Cooper Barrett was not the text-message killer -
Maxie: Which he was not.
Spinelli: Ok, ok, ok. Then we have to go by our list of amassed clues. Ok, so, one Valentine's Day gift which proves nothing, uh -- boot prints in the snow, and an incriminating D.N.A. test which actually does the opposite. It makes Coop look guilty of generous Georgie's murder as well as many others, as does his unfortunate method of self-demise.
Maxie: Ok, can we just get to the stuff that we do have, like Logan's dog tags being in Coop's room for no reason whatsoever?
Spinelli: Ok, a suspicious pill in an unmarked prescription bottle.
Maxie: I'll take that to Robin.
Spinelli: Ok, a list of victims which seemingly have nothing in common.
Maxie: And that really weird smell that I keep forgetting, the sweet smell I noticed when the killer attacked me.
Spinelli: I believe a field trip is in order. Rule number 43 in my online private eye course --
Spinelli: Clues in the field. We will visit purveyors of soaps, candy, laundry products, men's hygiene goods --
Maxie: Are you nuts? Spinelli, do you know how long that would take?
Mac: Uh -- is this a bad time?
Maxie: Mac. No. Um -- did you get any evidence that clears Coop?
Mac: Maxie, we're not looking for any. The case is closed -- that's why I'm here. Listen, Coop's remains need to be released to someone. You know if he had any family, anyone else he knew?
Patrick: Sam's stabilizing. More importantly, she needs some rest.
Alexis: What about her hip? She's been complaining about her hip.
Patrick: She's going to need some physical therapy but she'll heal.
Alexis: She still hasn't told me everything that happened that night.
Patrick: Alexis, she's in pain, she's groggy. It might not be the best thing for you to be sitting bedside. She might feel pressured to stay alert and remember things. There's time.
Alexis: Listen, every second the person that did this to her is out there is a crime.
Scott: You know, I couldn't agree more.
Patrick: I'll check with you later.
Scott: So, listen, you've been through a lot. You should be with your daughter, perhaps I should step in now as D.A.
Alexis: No, no. Ric's gone, I'm the D.A. -- Deal with it.
Scott: Logan, how you doing?
Logan: Like I said, a sports bandage and some ice, I'll be all right.
Scott: Well, then why did you come in here by yourself?
Logan: No job, no insurance.
Scott: I know -- I covered it.
Logan: Yeah, can you cover Lulu's pain? She's the one who's really hurting.
Scott: Officer Spencer. How's Sam doing?
Lucky: She's in rough shape.
Scott: Well, did she give you anything that might help you catch the culprit?
Lucky: She said she doesn't remember anything, that she claims that somebody was after her and she ran into the road.
Scott: Well, is there any I.D. there?
Lucky: No, he wore a mask. But according to Sam, she whacked him in the rib pretty good so he could be hurt -- something to go on.
Lulu: Ok. I guess I do know why I came here. I just didn't want to make you feel funny about it.
Johnny: But you do make me feel funny -- in a good way, in a way that no one else does.
Lulu: Me, too.
Johnny: So, now we're both back here.
Lulu: And we both admitted why.
Johnny: Now what?
Johnny: Nothing I've done to you is fair.
Lulu: You haven't done anything to me.
Johnny: Things have happened to you because of me and I'd give anything to change that.
Lulu: They happened.
Johnny: I wasn't talking about the past, I meant the future.
Robin: Epiphany, the new meds rotation needs to be implemented on your caseload.
Epiphany: I took care of that yesterday.
Robin: Well, not according to my schedule, the patients, or the case nurses.
Epiphany: I'll -- I'll take care of it.
Robin: Are you ok?
Epiphany: That's -- I said I'll take care of it.
Maxie: Robin -- hey.
Robin: Hey.
Maxie: Oh, nice hair.
Robin: Thanks.
Maxie: Um, do you have a second?
Robin: Actually, I have to do something. Just hang here, I'll be right back.
Maxie: Oh, all right.
Jerry: I imagine you're here to see your friend Sam.
Maxie: What happened to Sam?
Jerry: What, you don't know? She was the victim of a hit-and-run.
Maxie: Oh, my god, that's terrible. What room is she in? Where is she?
Jerry: Well, I'd be happy to escort you -- besides, we need to have a little talk about your boyfriend.
Logan: Spinelli, I don't need the babble. Yes or no -- have you seen Lulu in here?
Spinelli: No.
Logan: Ok, would you tell me if you had?
Spinelli: See, that would require a brief declarative statement on your shortcomings. Should I proceed? Ok.
Jason: No, no, no, no, stop.
Spinelli: What?
Jason: I need -- I need some information.
Spinelli: Is the jackal back in stone cold's good favor? Um -- ok, what would be the topic of my research?
Jason: Ok, let's go accident reports, stolen cars, sudden repairs.
Boy: Yo, no refunds, Corinthos.
Michael: What?
Boy: Yeah, man. I mean, you bought the gun, it's yours. You can't wuss out and get your cash back.
Michael: I don't want it back. I want to buy the bullets.
Claudia: Hmm -- Kate Howard from "Couture" magazine?
Carly: Yep. The one and only.
Claudia: Hmm. I've seen the international version -- it's a runway rag in any language.
Carly: Clothes that a real woman would never wear.
Claudia: Or a real man would ever want to see a woman in.
Carly: I think we have similar interests.
Claudia: As long as it's not in men, we'll get along fine.
Sonny: Can I get a table in -
Feb 8, 2008 11:59
Carly: I am happily married to a very happily married man.
Claudia: Well, I can't tell you the number of happily married men who've told me how happy they were. Which way is the powder room?
Carly: Right through those doors.
Sonny: Max, what do you got?
Max: Are you somewhere you can talk?
Sonny: Give me a second, ok?
Kate: Well, it's not like I expected Sonny to join me for happy hour. But I know he still cares and I can still get him back.
Jax: But I just -- I don't -- I don't see the attraction.
Kate: Jax, let's just say it's a chronic problem of mine, ok? And judging from the stares I'm sure I'm getting from your delightful wife at the bar, maybe we should just save the meat of the discussion for another time?
Jax: Yeah, I do have one more question, though.
Kate: Ok. I hope I can answer it.
Jax: Connie Falconeri -- she was just -- she was just a kid basically when she ran off on Sonny, right, and -- and then she resurfaced as Kate Howard. Now, Sonny is in love with Connie but Connie can't resurface. Where does Connie's family think Connie is?
Carly: Ok, I hope you don't mind -- well, even if you do I don't really care, but I'd like my husband back. You can go out in the parking lot and throw yourself at Sonny.
Jax: Carly --
Kate: No, Jax, it's ok. No. Uh, Carly, I understand that you're very good at throwing yourself at men -- maybe I should ask you for pointers.
Carly: You're funny. You are so funny --
Jax: Ok, you know what? Ok, that's it, fun's over. Bye-bye.
Kate: Bye, Jax.
Max: The area's been secured but there's some kind of weird buzz going around.
Sonny: What kind of buzz?
Max: That there's a new Zacchara in town and that's who called the meeting.
Sonny: Ok, listen, find out who he is because the last thing this situation needs is more family involved.
Ric: Look, I have no reason to lie to you.
Marianna: What, you think you're the first outsider who comes in here and tells me I'm beautiful and -- and special? They didn't know a thing about me -- you don't know a thing about me.
Ric: Well, I'm willing to hear whatever it is that you want to tell me.
Marianna: Well, they'd come in -- the men. And I'd bring them coffee a few times, then they'd pass their comments --then pass their phone number. And once they got what they wanted -- or they knew they weren't going to get anything at all -- they'd pass me on the street and pretend they didn't even know the girl in the apron from The Siren. You know, after all, what are decent people going to think? Huh? A rich, powerful man -- say, like you -- with a common waitress?
Ric: Well, I find you anything but common in every sense of the word and I -- I really don't give a damn that you do. Why are you finding excuses to doubt me?
Marianna: Because it'll be easier. Because it'll be less painful when you go.
Ric: So that's the way you're going to be, huh? You're going to keep all this beauty and soul locked up inside, guarded from everybody? That's a waste.
Marianna: How dare you throw my mother's words back at me.
Ric: How dare you ignore them. Look, I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow. I don't know what's going to happen in the next 10 minutes -- nobody can. All I know is what you've done for me, and how real that feels, and how -- how wonderfully damn uncomfortable it feels to feel that way. And how I wouldn't trade it for a second.
Mike: So, um, can I help you?
Woman: We'll let you know.
Spinelli: Ok, it appears there were a number of accidents on the dark and rainy night in question.
Jason: Ok, I need exact numbers and I need names.
Spinelli: Ok, I'm forwarding such a list to the home computer for printing. But in the meantime, several interesting names appear in different circumstances concerning cars of the hues black and blue. Ok, for instance, the young prince Cassadine -- apparently his car was stolen and found in a vehicle graveyard superstore.
Jason: The chop shop, right.
Spinelli: Right, but what excites the investigative mind of the soon-to-be Jackal P.I. is that he never reported his car stolen. Also, someone who did report their car stolen was your estranged parental unit, Dr. Monica Quartermaine. And that specific car was found headed back from the direction that you said the -- the woman formally known as the fair Samantha was found struck by a car.
Jason: Ok, that gives me something to go on.
Spinelli: Wait, you have not yet shared why you're so interested in looking into this specific situation given the hostility 1between you and the wounded party.
Jason: You don't need to know right now.
Spinelli: Ok, but one more interesting and possibly distressing piece of information?
Jason: What?
Spinelli: Someone else's car of the color black is having their bumper repaired -- that of the Valkyrie, Carly.
Jerry: And all by way of saying that I will supply any cost to any suitable burial for three that you see fit.
Maxie: Why would you do that?
Jerry: Well, as far as I know, he didn't have any family and we do owe him out of his loyalty.
Maxie: Oh, so you can't be convinced that he killed himself or that he's the text message killer?
Jerry: Well, who could say what any one of us would do when we're backed into a corner?
Alexis: Oh, good -- a new face. Would you mind going in there so she can look at somebody else besides her mother when she wakes up?
Maxie: Please.
Alexis: Thank you.
Jerry: Did you eat any of the food that I gave you?
Alexis: Actually, I could use a good, stiff drink.
Diane: How about some fresh air instead?
Alexis: I'd rather have a drink.
Jerry: Hola, senora.
Diane: Hola. I'm taking you for a nice, long walk in the park.
Diane: We may pass a bar.
Alexis: Oh, goody.
Diane: Perdone, senor.
Jerry: Oh, no hay problema, senorita.
Maxie: Are you ok? I can't believe someone did this to you.
Sam: Oh, yeah, I'll live -- I hope. What about you? I mean, you've had a -- a pretty big jolt recently.Are you going to be ok?
Maxie: Well, it's still hard to believe that Coop's gone. I'll never believe he's the text message killer.
Sam: You shouldn't. Look, Lucky doesn't want me to say anything because he doesn't completely believe me, but I really do think I have to tell you and my mother. I didn't just walk in front of a car. I was chased in front of one -- by the killer. This freak is alive and he is still out there and I don't want anyone else to wind up dead.
Singer: The way she plays it cool
Johnny: What if I didn't have to take after my father? If I could just walk away from it all, would I have somewhere to walk to, someone waiting there for me?
Singer: Wanna move in closer
singers: She defines me and sometimes she almost lets me know her I see right through and just how to read her mind people spend too many days...
Johnny: This is so wrong.
Maxie: Hey, Robin, hi. Do you have a second for me?
Robin: Yeah, just a second so make it quick.
Maxie: It'll be really fast. Um -- ahem -- do you know what this is?
Robin: Uh, no. Why?
Maxie: It's important that you find out for me but I can't tell you why.
Robin: Ok, I'll have to check the P.D.R. but it might take me a while.
Maxie: Thank you, you're amazing. Um -- please don't tell my dad?
Robin: All right, for now.
Maxie: Ok, bye.
[Epiphany sighs]
Epiphany: The meds rotation is -- is taken care of.
Robin: Great. Thank you.
Cassius: Hey -- what kind of lying dog are you?
Spinelli: Uh -- perhaps the orderly one might be a little more specific as to the alleged canine untruths?
Cassius: Look, you and that muscle-bound friend of yours promised Nurse Johnson that you would look into her son's death.
Spinelli: Uh -- well, I mean, these matters of investigation take time.
Cassius: Ok, well, have you taken the time to open up the box of Stan's personal stuff that she got?
Spinelli: No, but that does not mean that I'm -
Cassius: No, what it means -- you've done jack. Look, you have any idea how much stress Stan's death is having on her right now? Look, either you cyber up and figure out what's going on around here, get some answers, or step aside and I will. You understand?
Elizabeth: I've been a wreck waiting for you to call.
Jason: I -- I found some other options to look into, ok? At this point, there is no conclusive proof that you're the one that hit Sam. So just try -- try to stay calm. I got a few other things to look into. I'm going to head right back up there -- unless - unless you want to go home.
Elizabeth: No. No, I want to spend a little more time with you.
Jason: Has -- has something else happened?
Elizabeth: I just have a feeling something bad is happening.
Michael: Now, these go in the gun I bought, right?
[Boy snickers]
Boy: Yeah, man, you're catching on. Those go in the gun you bought, all right, but you got to make sure they come back out. You hear me?
Boy: Yo, man, we got to go.
Mike: Hey -- hey, you guys! Michael -- get down there, right now. Now, what the hell is going on here, huh? What did you just buy from those guys?
Marianna: I should go. I've had a wonderful day but I'm not the reason why you came here. You've got decisions to make about money.
Ric: Decisions to make about my soul, actually.
Ric: You know, I've made some pretty horrible mistakes in my life. I've run myself ragged with revenge. I've only let myself get distracted by beauty and -- and what was underneath it once.
Marianna: Hmm. I remember the line -- "you let it slip through your fingers"?
Ric: No, I stepped on it and I -- I broke it. Her name is Elizabeth. Pieces of her heart paved a nice road to hell for myself. I'm trying to get off of it.
Marianna: So what do you see when you see me? A testing ground? A target range?
Ric: No, I see somebody who's afraid. I see somebody wounded. Now, I -- I don't know who you are but there must be some reason why I keep coming back to that coffee shop every day to find out more - because it's certainly not the food.
Marianna: You don't like Randy's cooking?
Ric: No.
Ric: I only caught a glimpse of him through the window staring out once or twice. I don't much like him, period.
Marianna: Yeah, you're not the first one to say so. But you hide, too, you know? This hatred you have for your brother rules you, and you think that if you let go of it, you're not going to have anything else to hold on to.
Ric: Eh --
Marianna: Baby, you have so much good in you -- despite what your father says.
Ric: What does my -- what does my father have to do with any of this?
Johnny: I'm in no position to offer you anything but empty promises. I'm not about to use them to take advantage of you. But it's not because I don't want you -- I do. Please don't be hurt.
Lulu: I'm anything but.
Johnny: I should go.
Mike: What were you doing buying these, huh?
Michael: Nothing.
Mike: Well, your father's not going to think so. You know, this makes me think that you have a gun. Do you have a gun?
Michael: No.
Mike: Ok. Just in case, you toss them.
Michael: But, Grandpa --
Mike: Toss them!
[Splashes]
Mike: Now, you stay right there while I call somebody to come pick you up.
Jason: I shouldn't be too long, ok? I -- I love you, too. Bye.
Lucky: You got a minute? What do you know about Sam's hit-and-run?
Marianna: Well, I remember how your father talked to you that day at the coffee shop. You know, he only sees what he wants to see -
Ric: Yeah.
Marianna: Not who you really are. You know, like, I saw it today when we were on the beach, you know? I was running and I looked back to see if you were catching up to me, and I saw a glimpse of him -- that little boy inside you that loves to --
Ric: Aw.
Marianna: Laugh and play and love and doesn't care what anyone thinks.
Ric: Hmm. That's funny -- I -- I think I saw the same little girl running ahead of me. And I'd really like for her to stay, get warm. I'll go down to the breakfast room and I'll get hot cider?
[Marianna giggles]
Ric: Hmm?
Marianna: I'd like that.
Ric: Good.
Marianna: Oh -- what are you doing calling me again?
Trevor: Because we made a deal and you're not holding up your end of the bargain.
Sonny: What's the holdup?
Mr. Vaughn: We're waiting for Mr. Lansing.
Man: I thought a Zacchara call this meeting.
Claudia: One did.
Spinelli: I vow to find Georgie's killer. Maxie: Then you need to be prepared to go all the way. Claudia: I'm Anthony Zacchara's daughter. Well, isn't this getting interesting?
Feb 11, 2008 10:47
Man: I thought a Zacchara called this meeting.
Man: And who are you?
Claudia: I'm Anthony Zacchara's daughter, Claudia.
Man: Did any of you even know Zacchara had a daughter?
Man: I gather you know Mr. Corinthos?
Trevor: Has my son signed the deed to the alcazar waterfront property yet?
Marianna: Your son's a good man. He's good to me.
Trevor: Well, I'll take that as a no, but that's still good news for you. Marianna, listen to me. I am going to control that property and all the power that goes with it. So you need to deliver that unsigned deed to me, and do it any way you can. Do you hear that?
Marianna: And betray Ric? Why would I do that?
Trevor: Do you really think your situation was bad before you met me? You know, Marianna, with everything that I have on you -- oh, go ahead. See what happens if you don't come through for me.
Marianna: No, but you don't understand -- hello?
Marianna: Hi.
Spinelli: Why would lucky doubt the goddess and tell her not to say anything?
Maxie: I don't know, but I believe Sam. I mean, she fought the guy, she almost unmasked him, she might've even bruised his ribs. What is it, Spinelli?
Spinelli: No -- the crabby commando was in here earlier looking for Lulu, and he was favoring his side.
Maxie: So Logan could be the killer?
Lucky: You were at the scene where Sam was the victim of a hit-and-run. Why?
Jason: I was on the road and --
Lucky: What about last night? Were you out -- same road, somewhere between 10:00 and midnight?
Jason: You know I go for rides all the time.
Lucky: I also know that it wasn't a coincidence that you were at the same spot Sam was mowed down. You know something.
Elizabeth: Oh, here we are! Oh, wow, it's good to be home. Oh, the workers did such a good job. It's like new.
Cameron: Yeah. Like nothing bad ever happened.
Elizabeth: Huh.
Man: Not this time, bitch.
[Sam whimpers]
Man: It's no fun if you can't struggle.
Sam: Stop him. Stop him! Stop him. Help me! Somebody, please -- oh! Somebody help me -- oh, god!
Ian: Ms. McCall, are you ok?
Sam: Did you see him? Did you see him?
Jason: Sam and I broke up -- that's hardly a reason to run her down.
Lucky: But the fact that she stood by and watched Jake being kidnapped is. I know how it made me feel to hear that Sam stood by and watched this woman grab Jake from the park and did nothing -- and I'm not even his real father. I can only imagine how that made you feel.
Jason: If I had wanted to make Sam pay, I would've done something a long time ago.
Lucky: Maybe the opportunity didn't present itself until now. Elizabeth lied again to protect me -- the way she was lying about cheating on me and the fact that Jake is your son. I think the only person she was really protecting is you.
Jason: You don't even know what you're talking about.
Lucky: It's pretty much your job description -- evening the score.
Lucky: I think Elizabeth knew that this day would happen again -- maybe she even secretly wanted it.
Jason: It was an accident! What do you want? You know what your problem is? You got in too deep with Sam and she's got you all messed up. You should take yourself off this case, Lucky.
Lucky: Because you're afraid that I'm going to find out the truth about it?
Jason: No, because you can't be objective. You're too close to this.
[Doorbell rings]
Elizabeth: Coming. Cameron, listen to me. I understand that you want to spend time with you friends, but I have missed you so much. I just want to spend as much time with you while I can.
Cameron: Ok, mommy.
Nikolas: It sounds like you're going somewhere.
Marianna: Thank you.
Ric: Smell.
[Marianna sniffs]
Ric: Mm-hmm? Yeah, reminds me of autumn -- and the highlight of yet another silent afternoon on the veranda with my father. "Attaboy, Richie, found a way to break the ice."Here --
Ric: Sit down, please. Save one for myself.
Marianna: Hey, well, it reminds me of a cool mountain up in Caracas -- this little motel where my parents would wait
for their usual "shipment," e a delivery. They used me as a decoy.
Ric: You were --
Marianna: Yeah. I was just a kid, and I remember carrying my book bag full of packages. And -- you know, my dad, he -- he did, he wanted to follow my grandparents' footsteps in diplomacy, but he was always after that fast cash. So, yep, that's me. That's who I am.
Ric: Well, my father lies and manipulates people for a living. I mean, that's my history, it's not who I am -- it's your words. Look, if I didn't believe them, I mean, I'd sign that deed and I'd take off to Port Charles and straight down a road to hell. I'd use all that power to make my dear old dad and my brother jump through hoops.
Marianna: No, you're better than that.
Ric: Oh, well, you make me think so.
Marianna: No, I only say what you already know. It's American women.
Ric: No, I just -- I feel like -- I don't know. I've never felt like I could trust somebody so -- so quickly and so completely, like I can tell you anything.
Marianna: You don't know me at all.
Ric: I know why you're doing this. I wish you could trust me, you know, trust that I'm -- I'm not like those other men. The ones who see you as weak and vulnerable, and be exploited?
Ric: Hello? Yeah, yeah, ok. I'll -- I'll be right down. Thank you. There's a problem with my credit card. I got to go to the front desk, ok?
Marianna: Oh, ok.
Claudia: I, of course, know Mr. Corinthos by name only. This is the first time I'm actually putting a face to the name.
Sonny: Trevor, I see you planned this surprise. It's nice, thank you.
Trevor: Actually --
Claudia: Our family attorney, Mr. Lansing, had no idea I was coming to Port Charles.
Sonny: Why are you here?
Claudia: I'm here to represent my family and my father's interests.
Man: If you want to help your father, you go tell him bedtime stories and wipe the spittle from his chin.
Claudia: That's not how you talk about Anthony Zacchara.
Sonny: You don't strike me as a woman with delicate sensibility, so I'm going to speak plainly. I don't think you've been accurately filled in by your, you know, trustworthy mouthpiece, so I'm just going to help you out here. Your father came to Port Charles to take over my territory, and all he got for his troubles was a piece of my collarbone when he shot me. Then he kind of lost it completely and jumped over a building.
Claudia: You have children, Mr. Corinthos.
Man: She's surely Tony Zacchara's daughter, all right.
Second man: There is a code.
Third man: Family's off-limits.
Claudia: Talk to me about my father the way you'd want me to talk to your kids about you, that's all I'm asking.
Sonny: Your father was the Zacchara family, but he's gone. You got nothing. You got no allies in Port Charles, you got no assets. You got nothing to bring to the table.
Man: You have no reason to be here.
Claudia: Actually, that's where you're wrong. I have a little secret to share with you all -- something I think might change your minds.
Spinelli: [As Sam spade] Night in the city, when she reveals her secrets. You do your job, and sometimes you find answers to questions that should never be answered.
Maxie: Ok, what are you doing?
Spinelli: [Normal voice] Just -- I'm just giving a -- a detailed report of my -- of my first case as a, you know, certified private investigator - jackal, P.I.
Maxie: It was just an online course.
Spinelli: Um -- "just"? Do you realize that all education soon will be completed online, all banking transactions, all communication?
Maxie: And that's what you want, Spinelli -- a world where you just sit and stare at your laptop all day in your pink bedroom?
Spinelli: I'll have you know it was while in my unfortunately pink room at I mastered the tried-and-true 49 steps to crime solving. Along with which, my cyber-prowess - honed in my prepubescent isolation -- is the reason why we are so much closer to solving this -
Maxie: No, I threatened you. Otherwise, you would still be going along with everyone else and already have accepted that Coop was the text message killer.
Spinelli: Ok, it was self-reliant Sam's "everyday heroes" skills that provided the decisive clue -- the fact that she wounded her attacker with a swift kung fu kick to the ribs -
Maxie: And Logan has a rib injury.
Spinelli: Right, and doesn't have an alibi for the night that Sam was hit-and-run.
Maxie: He doesn't have an alibi for any of the attacks.
Spinelli: Right, so, yes, it leaves little doubt that the T.M.K. and the crabby, conscience-devoid commando are one in the same. So, here we are -- waiting for him to slink back to his lair. And when he does, we will employ - employ crime solving method number 29.
Maxie: You know, this isn't a game. We are talking about the person who killed my sister.
Spinelli: I assure you, nothing is more important to me than bringing wise Georgie's killer to justice.
Ian: Did I see whom?
Sam: The man who just ran out of my room -- he has been attacking women, strangling them. He is the text message killer. He was wearing all black! He had on a mask and -- and gloves -
Ian: He would've been hard to miss. I'm sorry, I didn't see anyone.
Sam: No, the police think that they have I.D.'d him already and that he's dead, but he is not! And I tried to tell my boy-- my ex-boyfriend Lucky -- he is a cop. I -- I tried to tell him that he came after me, he was the reason why I was hit by the car.
Ian: You have to calm down, all right, Ms. McCall.
Sam: And he would've hit me right now -- he would've -- he would've killed me, but he said that - he said it wouldn't be any fun if I didn't struggle. You don't believe me. You don't believe me, either.
Ian: Listen, if anyone else had walked through that door and found you the way I did and heard the story you just told me and didn't believe you, I don't know that those are people you want in your life anyhow. Listen, I'm -- I'm going to call security, I'm going to get a nurse to help bring something to calm you down.
Sam: No, no, no, I don't want anything, and I'm already -- I'm drugged up enough already. I just -- I want to be clearheaded so I can deal with everything that is going on right now.
Ian: You're in no shape to be dealing with anything right now. You've had a head injury and some nasty lacerations.
Sam: How do you know? You didn't even look at my charts.
Ian: Those perfect stitches on your side -- that's my work.
Sam: You operated on me with Patrick?
Ian: I want to call the authorities so we can stop the man who did this to you.
Elizabeth: I've just had so much going on lately -- the fire and being in the hospital.
Nikolas: Yeah, yeah, you should've stayed even longer, according to what Patrick was telling robin.
Elizabeth: Well, things are unpredictable right now. I just wanted to spend as much time with my boys as I possibly can. I'm sure you feel the same way about Spencer.
Elizabeth: You're eager to get that surgery done so you can get back to your normal life. So, how soon?
Nikolas: What? "How soon" what?
Elizabeth: Well, when did they schedule the surgery?
Nikolas: They haven't done it yet.
Elizabeth: Well, why? What is Patrick waiting for?
Nikolas: He's waiting for me. I just -- I need some time to think about it first.
Elizabeth: Nikolas, to think about what?
Nikolas: Well, that's -- that's why I came to you. I mean, you're the closest to Emily, right, and I haven't seen - I mean, I haven't -- I haven't been able to, like I said, feel her presence for a while.
Elizabeth: Nikolas, you have a - a brain tumor that's going to kill you if you don't operate.
Nikolas: Yes, I know.
Elizabeth: The doctors only have a small window of time -
Nikolas: I know.
Elizabeth: And you're waiting for, what, a sign from Emily?
Nikolas: Look, I -- I don't expect you to understand.
Elizabeth: Well, I'm trying to, but it's not making sense. Nikolas, Emily's gone. But Spencer's here and he needs you. You can spend the rest of your life with your son. Do you know how Lucky you are, how blessed?
Jason: So?
Max: Well, everyone's playing nice in the sandbox, so far.
Jason: Can you -- can you handle this?
Max: Yeah, it's covered. What do you want me to tell the boss?
Jason: Nothing.
Trevor: You see, gentlemen, the important point is that on behalf of the Zacchara organization, I have acquired the 15 acres adjoining the old railroad yard.
Man: That land was sold in some sort of public trust.
Trevor: Well, not anymore. You see, some of my old, powerful friends -- a certain judge, a congressman -- have pushed through a variance to the new department of transportation bill, and in return for that favor, the Zacchara organization has agreed to eliminate most of their outstanding problems.
Claudia: We intend to be good neighbors. Speaking of which, that property leads right up to the piers and waterfront property that used to belong to Lorenzo alcazar.
Sonny: If you could get your hands on alcazar's property, you'd have it.
Claudia: The same could be said for everyone at this table. Did I mention my family has made some strategic alliances recently?
Sonny: You mean the mysterious Mr. Moreau?
Jerry: I heard them calling hospital security to the room. What happened? Being careful... it's very important to me. Sam: And then the doctor helped me back into bed, and I guess he went out to call security and the police, I -- I gather.
Lucky: Actually, I'm here on another matter.
Jerry: I'm really sorry I wasn't here, sweet Sam. I -- you know, the -- the nurse told me I had a call and she told me to take it outside, and thank god that doctor came in when he did.
Lucky: I'm sorry, but would you mind if I talked to Sam alone?
Jerry: Of course, of course, yeah. I -- I leave you in good hands.
Lucky: The doctor who chased off the masked guy -
Sam: No, I -- I told you, he -
Lucky: It's possible he could've saw something. I mean, was it dr. Julian?
Sam: No -- I -- I have no idea. I've never seen this guy before.
Lucky: A doctor chased off the masked guy who attacked you, offered you a sedative -
Sam: This masked guy is the text message killer.
Lucky: You never got his name?
Sam: The -- come on, Lucky -
Lucky: Let's just listen to the facts - I mean, we seem to be in short supply.
Sam: I was freaked out and really scared! Wait a minute. Wait -- wait, wait, wait, the -- yeah, yeah, it's the doctor who helped operate on me. Just -- ok, I am really tired. I'm tired. Just go ask Patrick, ok? Just go and leave me alone.
Alexis: Hey, how is she?
Lucky: She's resting. We're probably going to have a security guard here posted on the door. According to Sam, the text message killer showed up.
Diane: What?
Alexis: That's impossible.
Lucky: No one else saw a masked guy all dressed in black. A doctor whose name Sam does not recall showed up after he fled.
Alexis: Where was Jerry when this happened?
Lucky: M.I.A.
Diane: Yeah. Well, you trusted your daughter's safety to a psychopath, what do you expect?
Lucky: Listen, I'll let you know what I turn up.
[Diane sighs]
Alexis: Do you think she did this to get atten- I mean, why -
Diane: Why would she make this up?
Alexis: I don't know why. This -- this is -- this case is dead and buried. Why would she use the text message killer?
[Tapping on window]
Maxie: Uh -- yes, officer?
Officer: What are you kids up to?
Maxie: We were just discussing our homework.
Spinelli: Um -- fu-- fundamental - fundamental forces, gravitation -- the, um, attractive influence that all objects have on each other -- which has never really been properly explained by any adequate theory!
Officer: Get her home safely.
Spinelli: Rest assured, keeper of the night.
Maxie: Well, that was a break. If that had been a cop who knew me, he would've had so many questions. What's your problem?
Spinelli: No-- nothing. Have you been -- have you been partaking of medicinal herb? You -- you violated my bubble.
Maxie: No, what I did was stop a cop from blowing our stakeout.
Spinelli: Ok, if we're going to be working together, we -
Maxie: What did you want to tell him, Spinelli -- that we were here staking out the real text message killer because those losers couldn't get the right guy?
Spinelli: Rule 17 specifically states -
Maxie: I don't need you to tell me what makes a good detective - I grew up with one, I fell in love with one, and he died in the line of duty -- and it's not about your 46 stupid rules.
Spinelli: 49.
Maxie: Ok, look -- it's about thinking on your feet and being able to handle the unexpected.
Spinelli: Well, if you had just warned me before you appended your lips to my face.
Maxie: Trust me, if I had thought about it any more -
Ric: What the hell are you doing?
Claudia: I think we've established I have every reason to be here, Mr. Corinthos. And I believe my family's rapidly growing portfolio of local real estate and politicians has earned me a seat at this table.
Man: If we're going to have to deal with the Zaccharas, better you than your psycho brother, Johnny.
Claudia: What did you just say?
Trevor: We admit it -- Johnny was a little indelicate at the last meeting.
Man: He came after frank with a baseball bat. The kid's ready for a room in the nut house next to your old man. Second man: Hey, Lou, take it easy, huh?
Third man: This is about business.
Lou: This is about respect. If Johnny boy gets out of line again, he may be the next one to take a header off a building.
Claudia: You threaten my brother again, I'll cut your heart out!
Feb 11, 2008 10:51
Trevor: Mr. Cavallo -
man: Come on, enough!
Lou: Your daddy never taught you and your brother respect. Maybe it's time somebody did.
[Lou groans]
Claudia: And your daddy never taught you how to treat a lady.
Lou: Oh -
Jason: Can you talk?
Elizabeth: No, not really.
Jason: Ok, I just -- I just ran into Lucky. He's got it in his head that I might be the one who hit Sam.
Elizabeth: What? Well, did you tell him that -
Jason: I know. The point is Lucky's looking at what Sam did with Jake and his kidnaping as a motive. So it's all the more reason you cannot say anything until I check out who else was on the road.
Elizabeth: Ok, I understand.
Jason: Good.
Elizabeth: Sorry, I had to take that.
Nikolas: No, no, it's ok. Look, I want -- I want to share all this with my son, watch him grow up. I mean, I've already -- I've already missed so much with him. You know, he turns 2 in a few days and -
Elizabeth: Oh, my god.
Nikolas: Can you believe it?
Elizabeth: No.
Nikolas: I was hoping that maybe you could help me plan a little party for him?
Elizabeth: Yeah, I -- I would love that. The boys and I would love to be part of his special day.
Nikolas: What's wrong? Something wrong?
Nikolas: No. Why?
Elizabeth: She's in the hospital.
Nikolas: What -- what happened? Is she ok?
Elizabeth: Yeah -- yeah, she's going to be fine, but there was an accident on Tuckerton road last night. She was the victim of a hit-and-run.
Nikolas: What time did it happen?
Elizabeth: The police estimate it was somewhere between 10:00 and midnight.
Nikolas: Do they know who did it?
Elizabeth: No -- there's not a whole lot to go on. It was raining hard, so all the evidence was washed away. Nikolas: Yes, I know. I was driving last night around that time, at that place. I had a blackout and lost that chunk of time. What if it was me?
Alexis: Oh, please don't do it. Don't -- you're not going to lecture me about -
Diane: Someone needs to lecture you.
Alexis: I don't want it to be you.
Diane: Well, too bad. I'm feeling very protective of you right know, so take advantage of it while it lasts.
Alexis: You and I have both defended killers. Was there not any good in any of them?
Diane: Are you actually going to try and convince me that beneath jerry's coldhearted, brutal facade, there now lurks a caring and compassionate heart?
Alexis: Let me ask you this -- do you think "caring" and "compassionate" would be the first two words anyone would use to describe us?
Diane: God, I hope not, but that's where the comparison ends, Alexis.
Alexis: We've both sent people to their deaths.
Diane: Ok, in those cases, the circumstances were -
Alexis: Mitigating -- I understand that. I'm very well aware of the fact that he has to go to great lengths to make amends for what he's done.
Diane: Well, that's what he's trying to convince you that he's doing. Look, when are you going to realize that you cannot fix people, Alexis? Some men can't change -- more importantly, some men don't want to change. And you know I'm right.
Man: Well, well, well. Mr. Moreau. Mr. Craig, Mr. Jacks -- whatever you're calling yourself today -- what have you brought to the party? Have you brought me that valuable piece of waterfront property formerly belonging to Lorenzo alcazar?
Jerry: Don't worry. I have a connection to the current holder of the deed.
Man: Try to be a little less vague and a little bit more confidence-inspiring, jerry. How many degrees of separation are we talking here -- four, six?
Jerry: One, actually.
Man: Ah. So your direct connection to the most valuable and coveted piece of real estate on the eastern seaboard would be?
Jerry: Alexis Davis -- who happens to be quite taken with me.
Ric: Oh, thank god, it's still intact. What were you thinking?
Marianna: About all the ways people hurt each other! And how a piece of paper can hurt you so much and why you'd even let it!
Ric: No, I haven't, ok? It doesn't -- it doesn't have to!
Marianna: I see the way you look at them. I mean, I see the -- I see it in your eyes -- the man you become - so sad and dark.
Marianna: It's so different than when you're -
Ric: Yeah, the little boy running across the beach, right?
Marianna: Yes! Yes, the little boy running across - oh, god -- when you're smiling from your whole heart!
Ric: You know what? I'm not a little boy, ok? I'm a grown man, I live in the real world -- and it's a cold, ruthless world. Look, that other man -- this - I don't -
Marianna: It's not real?
Ric: No, I don't know if it can last.
Marianna: Well, I pray it does for your daughter's sake.
Ric: Don't -- please, don't bring my daughter into this.
Marianna: I see the truth in your eyes, ok, and that part of you wishes I had burnt it!
Ric: Yes. I'm sorry.
Marianna: No, it's ok.
Ric: No, it's not -- it's not ok. You got a bruise. Have you -- you've been covering up with makeup?
Marianna: No, I told you, I'm clumsy.
Ric: Listen to me, you've never lied to me. Please don't start now.
Claudia: Take it easy, gentlemen, it's all right, everything's under control.
Lou: Nothing to get excited about, get out of here.
Sonny: Max -- Max?
Claudia: What happens in this room stays in this room.
Sonny: I think we can all agree on that.
Man: Yeah.
Second man: Yeah.
Third man: I think so.
Claudia: Good. It was nice to finally meet all the other players in this town. We're obviously all after the same thing -- the alcazar waterfront property and piers. Once it's been acquired, there will be some serious negotiating to do. Ciao.
Spinelli: What are you doing?
Maxie: My eyeliner.
Spinelli: Shining a spotlight on two people sitting in a car in front of a building, watching the building? Why don't you just call the evildoer and tell him we're staking him out?
Maxie: Ok, sugar mania has finally set in. You're cut off, geek boy.
Spinelli: You are such a -- blonde.
Maxie: Hmm.
Spinelli: You know, for someone who was brought up in the home of meritorious Mac, the leader of the forces of good, you have absolutely no understanding -
Maxie: Of the sacred 46 rules?
Spinelli: 49. Hmm. You have no instinct.
Maxie: Hey, I am all instinct. I am the reason that cop left us alone, the reason we have hope.
Spinelli: What is it? Your valentine's day gift from the clean-cut cadet.
Maxie: Look, we're supposed to be staking out, ok, so, stake out. Why don't you try rule number 46 or something -- go crazy.
[Jazz plays]
Spinelli's voice: [As Sam Spade] Port Charles, New York. There are a lot of guys like The Jackal. They're easy to find -- if you want to find them.
Maxie: You're just the man I'm looking for, Mr. Jackal, P.I.
Sonny: Thanks for coming.
Sonny: Hey, take it easy, ok?
Lou: No, it's all right. These Zaccharas are like cancer - they've got to be cut out.
Man: They're an unpleasant fact of life right now.
Second man: Because Corinthos won't get a foothold. We've heard the rumors -- how he's been distracted?
Third man: What are you saying? You think Sonny's losing it?
Lou: I'm saying we wait, see how it falls out, before we decide who's the cancer that needs to be removed.
Sonny: Max?
Max: Yeah, boss?
Sonny: Where the hell is Jason?
[Max sighs]
Max: I don't know.
Sonny: You don't know? Do you know anything? I mean, what's going on with the piers? Do we have a line on them yet?
Marianna: No, I'm not lying, ok? I'm just clumsy.
Ric: You seem afraid. Did somebody do this to you?
Marianna: I have to go.
Ric: Don't shut me out.
Marianna: You know, I couldn't even if I wanted to.
Ric: Ok, just stay a while, all right, no more questions. Please -
Marianna: Can't, ok?
Ric: Marianna, please -
Marianna: No, I got to go.
Man: Who holds the deed to the alcazar property?
Jerry: Well, if you can supply the money, I can certainly make an offer for it.
Man: You've wasted some precious time, jerry, chasing kids through monastery tunnels, allowing them to throw me off my timetable. I cannot afford to have another shipment of mine lying at the bottom of a river. You get me those piers. Do I make myself clear?
Jerry: Crystal.
Sonny: Get me those damn piers, I don't care what it takes.
Jason: I'm working on it.
Sonny: You're working on it, but, you know, you're so wound up in your personal stuff that you're distracted and you're losing focus, Jason.
Sonny: Yeah -- let's go.
Sonny: Yeah?
Claudia: Well, isn't this getting interesting?
Spinelli: You -- that -- that's it, the -- the evildoer is not showing up. Let's just go.
Maxie: Did you pay any attention to this online course, or were you too busy fantasizing that you were Jack Nicholson from "Chinatown" with Faye Dunaway draped all over you?
Spinelli: I will not even dignify that with a response.
Maxie: This is detective work, Spinelli, and a big part of it is staking out and sitting in a car with your partner and having late nights. I mean, if you're -- do you really want to do this?
Spinelli: Look, I vowed to find fair Georgie's killer, ok?
Maxie: Then you need to be prepared to go all the way.
Sam: Oh. What is it?
Lucky: I didn't want to wake you up, that's all. I just got back from talking to Patrick.
Sam: Were you able to find out the name of the doctor?
Lucky: Devlin.
Sam: And?
Lucky: I couldn't find him.
Sam: What do you mean, "you couldn't find him," Lucky? I mean, did you even try and call him?
Lucky: I tried.
Sam: Maybe he was at dinner, or maybe he -
Sam: So I guess you don't need to talk to Devlin, do you?
Lucky: All Ian knows is what you told him.
Sam: Is it going to take for me to die for you to believe me, Lucky? Is that what you want -- for me to die?
Elizabeth: Oh, I wanted so much to tell Nikolas the truth.
Jason: But the truth is you don't even know if you're the one who hit Sam or not. It could've been Nikolas -- he told you he had a blackout.
Elizabeth: I don't know what to think. I'm just so afraid of being taken away from my kids, from you, I don't know what to do.
Jason: All right, just do me a favor and -- just go hold our son and tell him how -- how loved he is.
Elizabeth: Ok.
Trevor: Sweetie, did you steal that deed from my son the way I asked you to?
Marianna: I tried. He caught me.
Trevor: Then, what did you tell him?
Marianna: I told him that I thought he should burn the damn thing. How am I supposed to live with myself? Trevor: Here's how -- you're doing him a favor, and probably saving him his life. You see, there is a group of very powerful and important people that will do anything to get their hands on that property. So, you get me that deed, and please, don't make me ask you again.
Sonny: How'd you get this number?
Claudia: I'm resourceful -- you must realize that by now. I saw you checking out my red stilettos when I had one planted on Mr. Cavallo's chest. I think you preferred it when I wore them to bed, though.
Sonny: What do you want?
Claudia: Same thing you want. Don't think just because we slept together I won't kill you if you get in my way. Sonny: Feeling's mutual.
Claudia: Good. Doesn't mean I won't sleep wit you again, either.
Jason: You don't know that you're responsible for this. Carly: Why are you trying to find out who hit Sam? Alexis: The text message killer was in her room last night. Sam: I am telling the truth. Lucky: That's not my problem anymore. Sam: Stop!
Feb 12, 2008 08:38
Alexis: Any luck in finding the person that left my daughter lying in the road near dead?
Mac: Why don't you ask Lucky? He's in charge of the case.
Lucky: Not anymore.
Sam's voice: Get off -- agh!
[Sam gasps]
Sam: Stop! Ow.
Elizabeth: I want to tell the police that I fell asleep at the wheel on the road where Sam was hit.
Jason: Elizabeth, we've been over this.
Elizabeth: But I could've done this.
Jason: Ok, Spinelli was able to put three more people on the road who could've been behind the wheel -- Carly, Monica, and Nikolas, ok, and Nikolas already told you he had a blackout. Please -- please don't say anything. Don't put yourself through even more hell until I'm able to check this out.
Elizabeth: And how are you going to do that? You going to confront them all -- a man with a brain tumor, your best friend, your own mom? Don't do this to yourself.
Jason: You don't know that you're responsible for this.
Elizabeth: You don't know that I'm not.
Epiphany: A comatose patient in 1058 is due nine meds.
Elizabeth: Oh, well, I had a problem getting one of them from the pharmacy.
Epiphany: Then hang the other eight and check the pharmacy again. If they're out, reorder the meds.
Jason: Carly, are you going to be home because I need to talk to you.
Carly: Yeah, I'll be here. What's going on?
Jason: I'll tell you when I get there.
Luke: Tracy is willing to call off the malpractice suit.
Monica: Oh, and what should I do -- just forget and forgive the fact that you forged my husband's will?
Luke: Monica, I've had three close brushes with death recently, I now know what hell looks like -- it's normal family life. It's a house, a mortgage -
Monica's voice: Check the patient charts, show that I'm still involved, still on my game.
Luke: Everything that they call "the American dream." Now, what I love, what I've lived for -- these things are now out of my reach. They're, like, in a shop window and I'm the guy outside with my nose pressed against the glass.
Monica's voice: And in a minute, I can go to the supply room and I can have a drink.
Luke: Punishment you could possibly devise. Monica, Tracy misses her family. With her boys gone, she's only got you and Edward left. She doesn't want to waste time, you know, not being together.
Monica: She said that?
Luke: Yes, she did. Can you meet her halfway? Tracy is willing to take the first step.
Tracy: The hell I am!
[Monica laughs]
Monica: You rotten con artist. And as for you, if you cannot afford a motel room, then just go sleep in your car. Tracy: What?
Monica: This business of pretending you're here on hospital business and sleeping on the sofa in the board room? Well, I have called security.
Tracy: You can't order a paper clip, you're on suspension which begs the question -- what are you doing here? Pass out in the on-call room again?
Luke: Uh, pumpki-
Tracy: What are you hiding, besides the fact that you were driving drunk and you hit public property with your car? Luke: I think maybe we should go have some lunch, you and I.
Monica: My car was stolen.
Tracy: It -- that's such a lie, Monica! And if the police test the alcohol on the front seat of the car, they're going to find out it's your favorite vodka.
Luke: Well, so much for trying to pull your butt out of the fire.
Tracy: My butt doesn't need help from you!
Jason: Monica -
Monica: What?
Jason: Can -- can I just talk to you for a minute?
Monica: Look, I am fine!
Jason: Ok, I -- I know, your car was stolen -- the same night Sam was a victim of a hit-and-run.
Patrick: Why am I only finding out about this now -- that you were threatened by some masked attacker last night?
Sam: Because nobody else saw him.
Patrick: Dr. Devlin?
Sam: He showed up after the guy had already ran out, after he put his hand over my mouth and said, "not this time, bitch, it won't be any fun if you don't struggle."
Patrick: Sam, I'm sorry.
Sam: He's the text message killer.
Patrick: Wait a second, I thought the text message killer was the cop, the cop that killed himself.
Sam: I know, I know, that's what we all thought, but I guess it turns out that we were all very wrong.
Patrick: Why isn't this all over the news?
Sam: Why? Because Lucky doesn't believe me, because he thinks that I need him to feel sorry for me. I guess that he thinks that I am that pathetic and -- and desperate and I -- I just -- I don't know. I -- I guess I - uh -- know how he -- I guess I know how he really feels about me.
Lucky: Given the history between me and Sam -- the stuff that's happened, the lies that have been told -
Mayor Floyd: What lies?
Alexis: What difference does it make what lies have been told? What if she's telling the truth right now?
Lucky: And you know she wasn't, about a lot of things and that's -- that's the problem -- I don't know what to believe.
Mac: You should've thought about this before insisting on heading up the investigation.
Lucky: I thought I could be objective, but things changed.
Alexis: Sam told Lucky that the text message killer was in her room last night and threatened her.
Mac: That's impossible.
Mayor Floyd: Yeah, of course that's impossible.
Lucky: That wasn't the first time.
Alexis: This has happened before?
Lucky: We had a fight. I told Sam to get out of my house and stay out of my life. A little while later, she called me with this story -- she got a text message, that she was being chased, how she was fighting him off, kicking him in the ribs.
Alexis: My god, why wouldn't you have said anything, Lucky? What, are you -- what, are you hoping the guy comes back and finishes her off?
[Lulu gasps]
Lulu: God -
Logan: Easy. I didn't mean to startle you.
Lulu: That's what happens when you sneak up on people.
Logan: I was just standing there watching you and the light on your hair.
Lulu: First, you go caveman on me and now you're some sort of poet?
Logan: Listen, Lulu, I know why you're so upset -
Lulu: It is my fault -
Logan: What you've been carrying with you all this time.
Lulu: For giving you another chance, another chance to hurt me.
Logan: It explains so much, Lulu, I just wish I'd known.
Lulu: Known what? What? What sort of insights could you possibly have? What -- what lessons have you learned that would change anything, Logan, huh? Never mind.
Logan: Lulu, wait, I know what your father did to your mother.
Alexis: You didn't follow it up?
Lucky: That's what I'm trying -
Alexis: You didn't file a report?
Scott: Based on what?
Alexis: Based on my daughter's word.
Scott: A scorned woman desperate to hang on here?
Alexis: See, I knew something was wrong with this because she is way too smart. She's actually too good of a liar to come up with a story that could be so easily dismissed.
Lucky: No one else has seen this guy, there's nothing else to back it up.
Mayor Floyd: You risk starting a citywide panic.
Mac: Because of a story that may or may not be true.
Alexis: So, what, are we going to wait till he strangles my daughter, too?
Scott: Uh -- now, come on, come on, Alexis.
Alexis: I'm really sorry.
Mac: You're worried.
Alexis: I am.
Mayor Floyd: Yeah, well, you should be worried -- about more than your daughter.
Alexis: You could care less about this threat. All you care about is the political backlash because we'd be wrong, wouldn't we?
Mayor Floyd: You went on television and announced to the world that Cooper Barrett was the killer.
Alexis: Look at you, doing damage control already. You're distancing yourself.
Mayor Floyd: No, I want to make sure that everything's being done to make sure that this maniac isn't still out there.
Lucky: Sam said she lost her phone on the docks. If she's telling the truth, there's a text message on that phone from the killer. I'm going to go back and check again and check any other hospital for rib injuries or -
Scott: I'll do that. And you're trying to distance yourself, so -
Mayor Floyd: Look, Spencer, I don't give a damn about your personal feelings. This is your job, go do it.
Mac: Mayor, excuse me. Alexis, Cooper Barrett was our guy. Carly played text message tag with him at the ball. She lured him out into the open but no one took her seriously. He was a D.N.A. match to the skin found under Georgie's fingernails -- the test results were with his body. Look, he hung himself because he knew the truth was about to come out.
Scott: And you went on television and told everybody that we had the guy.
Alexis: So what? Maybe I'm wrong. Who cares because if she's right, if Sam is right, that son of a bitch is still out there.
Logan: My father told me that your dad raped your mother.
Lulu: So he just dropped it in a conversation? "The weather's nice -- oh, by the way --"
Logan: Lulu, I -- I was just -- I was so confused with what happened between us, your reaction.
Lulu: When you wouldn't take no for an answer?
Logan: Lulu, I am so sorry, I had no idea.
Lulu: Is that your excuse?
Logan: No. No. There's no excuse for what I did -- for trying to force you, trying to get you to go faster than you were ready to go.
Lulu: You keep saying that you don't want to hurt me -
Logan: You're right. I never would.
Lulu: I need to get a clue because this started based on a bet that you made to get me into bed!
Logan: Lulu, I have told you a dozen times that was before I knew you, before you reminded me what it was like to hope, to imagine a better way of life, to believe that there was some way out of this darkness that had come down on me and begun to consume my life. Why -- why would I want to hurt a person who gave me all that?
Lulu: Because you can't help it? I don't know.
Logan: Lulu, since you gave me a second chance, I have tried in every way I know how to show you that you're not like the others, you're not like anybody else I've ever met. I am not good with the words, but you understood me. I know you did, and you felt it, too. But since Johnny's come along, nothing's been the same since.
Johnny: I need to talk to you. It's about my father's condition.
Patrick: Ok, well, what I can tell you is that there are very limited options when it comes to a spinal cord injury as severe as the one your father suffered. And I know how difficult it can be to watch somebody you care about on a slow, steady decline.
Johnny: Yeah, but he keeps saying he can move his toes.
Patrick: You got evidence of this?
Johnny: No, but he'll make a big deal about showing me and then he tries and nothing moves -
Patrick: Given his mental state, Johnny, it's not -
Johnny: Yeah, I know -- it would be very easy to write off, I get it. Yeah, but then he goes on talking about his roses and my mother as if she were still alive and then he'll go on and say something completely -
Patrick: What, lucid?
Johnny: Yeah. It's like, "what the hell did I just hear?" Is there any way he could be getting better?
Robin: Hi.
Kelly: Hi!
Robin: Hi, what -- what's this?
Regina: Baby presents.
Robin: Aw.
[Laughter]
Robin: Ok, let me have them before he starts talking.
Kelly: I know it's early, but we were walking by the cutest little store and we couldn't help ourselves.
Robin: Oh, thank you.
Kelly: Who does he remind you of?
Robin: Um -
Epiphany: This is a hospital, people. Room 1040 needs his insulin shot.
Leyla: I know, I was trying to find some but there wasn't any in the med cabinet. Um -- have you used any insulin today?
Elizabeth: I had to reorder it, it'll be in in 30 minutes.
Epiphany: Which means that he'll be eating his dinner tray late, which means that all of his evening's meds will be off, which is unacceptable!
Regina: She's turning into Dr. Ford right before our eyes.
Kelly: Scary.
Robin: Do you know if she's talked to Lainey after her son died?
Regina: You mean she has actual feelings?
Robin: She has to do something with them or -- I don't know. I'm just worried what will happen when the dam breaks.
Iris: Orderly?
Cassius: Well, well, well, Ms. Sneed, aren't you looking fantastic today. What is it -- don't tell me -- new hair, new glasses?
Iris: What is your name?
Cassius: Kibideaux. Cassius Kibideaux. And let's try not to be so formal next time, all right?
Iris: Mr. Kibideaux, you cannot move a patient without a transport sheet. Why don't you have a transport sheet on this patient?
Leyla: I'll take care of it.
Elizabeth: It's my fault.
Epiphany: I don't need you covering for me. You people can barely cover for yourselves. Nurse Mir, go check on the meds in the pharmacy. Nurse Webber, Sam McCall still needs her vitals checked hourly. Do it!
Jason: You reported your car stolen not far from where Sam was hit and I just -- I heard Tracy just now -- Monica: Oh, yes, well, the whole hospital heard Tracy. That's her point -- she's made a vested interest in making me look bad around here because I threw her out of the house and I had her assets frozen.
Jason: I'm just asking because I don't want to see an innocent person take the blame.
Monica: What, you think I hit Sam?
Jason: Did you?
Monica: You know, that would be almost laughable if it wasn't insulting and -- and hypocritical. I mean, you talk about morality? You're the one who covers the bodies and hides things, not me.
Jason: That's -- that's not an answer.
Monica: Well, I'm not going to dignify it with one.
Jason: I don't -- I don't want to hurt you. I don't want to see you hurt yourself even more than you already are. Man: Epiphany Johnson?
Epiphany: Over here. Delivery man: It was the only address they had for you, apparently.
Cassius: What is it?
Epiphany: My son's ashes. What -- what are you looking at? Get back to work.
Alexis: Mac, you need to take this seriously -- certainly more seriously than Lucky did.
Mac: Lucky did the right thing -
Alexis: Lucky did nothing.
Mac: Based on the facts.
Alexis: The public needs to be alerted.
Mayor Floyd: No. Excuse me, absolutely not. Alexis: At the very least, the case needs to be reopened.
Mac: Let's see if Lucky can turn up Sam's cell phone. If there's a text message on it -
Scott: Well, she might've put something on it herself.
Alexis: That's not something that she would do.
Scott: Well, it is something she would do. She's been scamming men her whole life -- you know, marrying them, taking their money -
Alexis: Excuse me, that's my daughter you're talking about.
Scott: I know, Alexis. Sometimes it's tough to think that your children might be capable of -
Mayor Floyd: Well, you know, it is understandable that this could cloud your judgment which is why I want you to work closely with Scott on this.
Scott: Absolutely.
Mayor Floyd: Yeah, look, I need your objectivity now.
Alexis: You need him to cover your ass.
Mayor Floyd: Excuse me, counselor. You are only temporary D.A. in Ric's absence.
Alexis: You're right, Mayor, I'm not objective because that maniac not only tried to kill my daughter, he tried to kill me. This is personal.
Logan: I could feel you letting go, slipping away because of Johnny and I just -- I tried to grab on stronger.
Lulu: Don't blame this on Johnny.
Logan: I'm not. Listen, I'm not blaming it on Johnny, I'm just trying to explain it to you. It was not about the sex. Lulu: Uh-huh.
Logan: It was about holding on to everything that was -- that was wonderful about you. I know what they say -- if you love someone, you got to let them go. "Let go and let god" -- that's -- that's what my mother used to say. She believed that if you did the right thing and -- and stayed true to yourself, things would work themselves out. She instilled that in me. Somewhere along the way, Lulu, in life, in the -- in the war, it -- it chipped away at my faith and I -- I thought it was dead, I thought I was dead till I met you. Even if I have messed this up for good, I want you to know I am so grateful to have felt that again. I think you felt it, too. Now, I got to do something, probably the hardest thing I've ever had to do -- I got to let you go. I got to let you go find out who -- who Johnny is all on your own. But I want you to know I'm going to be here waiting.
[Helicopter flies]
Luke: Shall I give you a shove, see if you can fly? That would be great. I could drop you right out of my daughter's life, make a few other people happy, too -- namely, my old friend Sonny Corinthos.
Carly: Wow -- could you have said it any more cryptic and mysterious on the phone? I was a little, you know, scared, Jason.
Jason: Carly, listen -
Morgan: Uncle Jason.
Jason: Hey, what's going on, guys? Listen, can you -- can you do me a favor? Can you guys go upstairs and do your homework or play or whatever? I really need to talk to your mom.
Michael: Um -
Jason: Good, I like that -- you listen. What about you?
Michael: I am old enough to know what's going on.
Carly: Hey -- what'd your father tell you?
Michael: He is not here. Jax isn't, either. Hey, if something happens -
Jason: Hey, hey, hey, nothing's going to happen.
Carly: Except you're going to start listening to me. Go upstairs and do your homework, please. You could be grounded. You know what, Michael? I understand that you're not a little kid anymore but that's exactly how you're acting. Being grown up means doing what you're supposed to do and taking responsibility. Now, I need you to do like I asked and go upstairs and do your homework, please.
Jason: I'm worried about him.
Carly: Ok, well, you're the one who has me worried. What's going on?
Jason: I heard you had a car accident.
Carly: Everything's fine. I mean, Jax was a little freaked out because we thought -
Jason: Why -- why was he freaked out if it -- if it wasn't serious?
Carly: Just being overprotective, that's all.
Jason: Ok. Well, you know, Sam was a victim of a hit-and-run that same night.
Carly: Yeah, I heard about that.
Jason: Yeah -- on Tuckerton road between 10:00 and midnight. You were on the road at the same time.
Carly: Ok, how do you know that?
Jason: Ok, is there a reason you didn't report the accident to the police? I mean, is there a reason that Jax was in a panic, Carly?
Carly: What are you doing?
Jason: Can you -- can you just tell me?
Carly: Why are you trying to find out who hit Sam? Why do you even care?
Sam: No. Oh. Oh, god.
Elizabeth: Sam -
Sam: No, stop.
Elizabeth: Sam, it's ok.
Sam: No, don't -- don't -- oh, god.
Elizabeth: I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
Sam: Sorry for what?
Feb 12, 2008 08:41
Elizabeth: Sam, you were having a nightmare.
Sam: I saw the car coming at me.
Elizabeth: The car that hit you?
Sam: It was so real, it was so clear, I could see the rain and the lights on the wet pavement. And then I looked up. Elizabeth: And?
Sam: The headlights, they're just -- they're so bright. They're -- they're blinding. I tried to see past them -- inside the car, the person inside the car.
Elizabeth: You -- you saw?
Sam: I'm trying to see, yeah, just -- just trying to tell them to stop. And then I woke up and there you were and -- and you said -
Lucky: How is she?
Elizabeth: Um -- her vitals are -- are fine. Cerebral edema is going down but needs to be monitored.
Lucky: Can I talk to her about the accident?
Elizabeth: Just for a minute because she really needs to rest.
Lucky: I found your cell phone on the docks.
Sam: Was the text message still there?
Lucky: Why wouldn't it be?
Sam: I don't know -- it's been out there a long time. It's -- I mean, it started raining, it was raining -
Lucky: Your phone was smashed.
Sam: Hmm. Oh, yeah, that must've happened during the fight after.
Lucky: I thought you fought with him after you dropped the phone.
Sam: I did -- I mean, I -- I don't -- I don't remember exactly how --
[Lucky sighs]
Sam: Wait, you -- do you think I -- I put the messages on there myself?
Lucky: You know what? It doesn't really matter what I think. I told Mac I cannot run this investigation.
Sam: I'm telling the truth, Lucky.
Lucky: It's not my problem anymore.
Sam: I am telling the truth, you have to believe me!
[Sam sighs]
Sam: Somebody has to believe me.
Elizabeth: I'll be happy to cover for you.
Epiphany: And who's going to cover for you?
Regina: We'll pitch in.
Cassius: And I can give you a ride if you want.
Epiphany: You can barely handle it with me around here hounding you every minute of every day. And you expect me to leave a hospital full of sick people to you incompetent -
Leyla: I got the meds.
Epiphany: And the patients are going to get them half an hour late due to your incompetence, Nurse Mir, because you failed to plan! Because you'd rather be doing the mating dance with every doctor on this staff instead of your job! Well, those -- those meds are not going to jump into the syringes and I.V.s by themselves. Administer them.
Leyla: Yes, Nurse Johnson.
Patrick: Hey -- about what Epiphany said -
Leyla: She was right.
Patrick: No, she wasn't.
Leyla: I had goals, I came here to build my career.
Patrick: Leyla, that had nothing to do with you.
Leyla: But I find myself flirting with strange doctors just to make you jealous.
Patrick: They just delivered her son's ashes. She's not sure how to think or how to deal with her feelings right now. You walked in and she unloaded that all on you. It had nothing to do with you. That was about a mother dealing with the loss of her son, ok? And just for the record, it doesn't bother me at all that you flirt with all the other doctors. Come here -- you ok?
Leyla: Thanks.
Elizabeth: Leyla did not deserve that. Patrick was just being a good guy.
Robin: Any excuse to get his hands around a beautiful woman -- I mean, I saw him doing it with Sam earlier.
Elizabeth: He is not the dog he was before he met you.
Robin: Yeah, but we're over now and so he's back to his old ways.
Elizabeth: Yeah, but even at his worst, I don't think he was ever into heavily sedated women.
Robin: Elizabeth, you didn't see what he was doing.
Elizabeth: I just came from Sam's room, she's completely out of it. You're just looking for the worst -- for things that support your theory that Patrick's going to be a bad dad because you're afraid to tell him. No man is ever ready to become a father until it happens. And sometimes, it's the most unlikely guys who make the greatest fathers.
Carly: So Sam got hit by a car?
Jason: Carly, come on.
Carly: She survived, Jason.
Jason: She might not have.
Carly: I'm sure there's someone out there who cares and there's someone out there who will find out who did it. Why does it have to be you?
Jason: Ok, listen, if -- if you did this -- I just need you to tell -- what?
Carly: I didn't do it! I didn't hit Sam, ok? Are you satisfied? I did not do it. Why is this your problem?
Jason: Well, I -- I just need to know!
Carly: Sam survived. There are some women out there who may not be so lucky. If your instincts are right and Cooper Barrett is not the killer, the guy is still out there. He killed Leticia, he killed Emily, he tried to kill me -
Jason: I have guards on you, I have guards on the kids. I just want to talk about the night you had your accident. What's the problem here?
Carly: Why don't you stop worrying about Sam, you know? Maybe I need you. Maybe I need your protection. You need to get that psycho off the street!
Singer: Peter piper picked pepper and rock-rock rhyme hip-hop headed to hell I'm talkin' speed past the stop sign it's about time they tapped it back with their nonsense mama said knock you out now the whole world is unconscious from Compton to Cincinnati seeing bling and don't lift the baggie them girl can't help it that bad head come from they daddy wanna bash me and put me on blast like I'm 8 years old truth be told, too much power in radio shows it ain't cool too much power it ain't cool it ain't, it ain't, it ain't it ain't cool the stuff we say with our lips teens yelling "what does it mean?"
[Hip-hop plays]
[Doorknob turns]
[Music stops]
Michael: How did you get in here? I locked the door!
Carly: It was raining, it was dark, the wind was blowing really hard, and it blew a stick or something across the road. I hit my brakes, I slammed into a guardrail -- that's what happened.
Jason: And -- and that's it? That's all?
Carly: Yes! That's it, that's all.
Jason: Ok, there's no chance -- there's not a little chance that you might've hit something else?
Carly: I didn't hit Sam. Believe me, if I did, I'd be more than happy to tell you, ok?
Jason: You're hiding something. Ok, I -- I know you, Carly. What are you hiding? What are you really afraid of? [Knock on door]
Jason: What -
Carly: Lulu, hey.
Lulu: I don't know what I'm doing. I need someone to talk to -- is this -- this a bad time? I can -
Carly: No, no, we were done. Jason was just leaving, it's ok. What's going on?
Lulu: I need help.
Carly: Oh, really? With what?
Lulu: Johnny and Logan -- how do I choose?
Carly: Ok, you know I really want to tell you to dump them both and start over but you're not going to do that, so -
Lulu: Well, I mean, you know how things started with Logan.
Carly: Yeah, he was the bad-boy type.
Lulu: Yeah, but it was also a way for me to get back at my dad by dating the son of his worst enemy. But then it changed into something else, and Logan showed me a side of him that he keeps hidden from everyone else. That sounds so naive and stupid, I know.
Carly: Yeah, it does, but you know what? It takes one to know one.
Lulu: But he's been hurt more than I even realized.
Carly: And you're cursed with the rescuer impulse.
Lulu: It's more than that. It -- Logan wouldn't have been able to hurt me if -- if I hadn't gotten myself so invested, and I did. And I -- I gave him another chance because I really wanted to make it work. But Johnny had come along and one look at that guy and you know he's trouble.
Carly: A totally different kind of trouble, Lulu.
Lulu: And when I'm with him, I feel -- well, not like rescuing him.
Carly: I bet you don't.
Lulu: Nothing has happened between us physically.
Carly: Oh, you've been able to control yourself -- is that it?
Lulu: Well, sorry to break it to you -- actually, Johnny is the one who's holding back. And I know it's because he doesn't want to drag me into his crazy and dangerous life and he doesn't want to see me get hurt, and that just makes me like him even more and it makes me want to be with him.
Carly: Lulu -
Lulu: I know, I -
Carly: You're in so much trouble.
Lulu: I know.
Luke: Huh -- you shouldn't have to perch on a ledge to get your adrenaline rush -- not with the family you were born into.
Johnny: That's actually why I'm here -- to talk to the doctors about my father's condition.
Luke: And you want him to live because -
Johnny: I would imagine Lulu gets asked the same thing about you.
Luke: Huh. Yeah, I imagine she does. This is where I live, son -- on the edge. It is where I will die.
Johnny: I'd hate to have to deliver that news to Lulu tonight.
Luke: What exactly are your intentions towards my daughter?
Johnny: You serious?
Luke: No. Well, maybe.
Johnny: If I could be with her and be sure she'd never get hurt -
Luke: Well, that's asking a lot, isn't it? I think you worry too much. Lulu has my finely tuned survival skills.
Johnny: She's quick on her feet, that's for sure. She's not scared of anything, even when she should be.
Luke: Yeah, well, see, that's where she gets into trouble. She leads with her heart -- she gets that from her mother. As far as her getting hurt, you can't stop that. That's life. I want her to live a long, long time. You know what else I want?
Johnny: What's that?
Luke: I want to drop face first and know what it feels like to be two inches above the pavement. And I wouldn't mind living to tell the tale over a bottle of something that burns.
Johnny: You don't have to worry about me. I'm going to stay away from your daughter.
Luke: Really? In my experience, that just makes you all the more attractive. You know, if I were a different kind of guy, if I were a man who wanted to control my daughter's love life, I would've dropped your competition Logan what's-his-name off this rooftop a long, long time ago.
Cassius: Hey -
Elizabeth: Hey.
Cassius: I'm worried about her. What's going to happen if it keep going on like this? Look, I'm ready to go to Dr. Ford and have him force her to go home.
Elizabeth: Dr. -- You hate Dr. Ford.
Cassius: I hate this way more.
Elizabeth: All right, as a last resort. Epiphany, we've got everything under control. Why don't you let me take over your shift?
Cassius: Please let us do this for you, ok? Look, why are you being so damn stubborn? You think Stan would've wanted this?
Epiphany: I just want you to leave me alone.
Mac: Hey, Robin?
Mac: I need to ask Sam McCall a few questions. Is she up for it?
Robin: I'd say so.
Mac: What?
Robin: You know what? Never mind. I'm just being -
Mac: Come on, what is it?
Robin: No, really, it -- it shouldn't matter what he does, so -
Mac: Who are we talking about?
Robin: The father of my baby.
Mac: I thought you used an anonymous donor.
Robin: That's what I wanted everyone to think but it turns out that he's not so anonymous after all and --
Robin: I'm having a really hard time.
Mac: Well, look, if you know who the donor is -
Robin: You know what? It doesn't matter because his life isn't compatible with children and he loves his freedom, so I'm not going to be the woman to take that away from him.
Singer: If you only knew how long I've been longing to love you if you only felt what I feel when you're in my arms if I could stop time we'd still have last night
[Epiphany groans]
Singer: If you only knew how it feels when I see you there
Carly: You know what? I could tell you what to do and what guy to choose but it's not going to make a difference. You're going to do whatever you want to do -- no matter what I say.
Lulu: Oh -
singer: If you only knew what it's like to be lonely that's not right
Elizabeth: Lucky, I need to talk to you about something -
singer: If you only lost
Elizabeth: About something I've done.
Singer: What I am losing right now
Patrick: This sperm donor thing -- it's anonymous, right? Jason: What did you see? Sam: I was too busy fighting off the text message killer! Claudia: Sonny Corinthos -- what's his weakness?
Feb 13, 2008 10:40
Sonny: And while you're at it, I want you to find out how the Zacchara organization got itself so deep inside our business and political operation while our people did what? Shine their shoes, file their nails -- ok, you know what I want you guys to do? Get out on the street, figure out why everybody's falling asleep on the job. Do it yesterday -- get out of here. And you know what? Tell Jason I need to see him now.
Luke: Sounds like you need some help, whip these snot-noses into shape.
Sonny: Huh -- what are you talking about?
Luke: I'm talking about me having to make my way in the world again, and you needing me to kick some butt. I'm looking to be put on the payroll, pal.
Claudia: None of these do me any good. It's not what I asked for, so go get what I want and don't come back until you have it.
Mr. Vaughn: Ahem.
Trevor: Vaughn has been a loyal and a useful employee for a long time. Please don't talk to him like that.
Claudia: Loyal and useful -- to whom?
Trevor: To the Zacchara empire.
Claudia: You mean the Trevor Lansing living trust?
Trevor: Are you losing your cool because of what happened at the meeting with the five families last night? Claudia: No, I am trying to find the right information to put Sonny Corinthos where I want him.
Trevor: Well, with the looks that I caught, where would be more appropriate than the nearest hotel bedroom?
Kate: I have two major designers who are committed to developing and promoting lines specifically for the working woman.
Jax: Hmm.
Kate: And you couldn't care less.
Jax: No, no, no, I do. I -- I care, I just -- I'm sorry. I'm just -- I keep thinking about your secret past as -- as Connie.
Kate: Um, Jax? Don't make me regret having told you.
Jax: No, it's just -- it's what you haven't told me that's got my mind racing, you see. But that's ok, you know? I'm sure if I throw enough money out there, I can probably find that out on my own.
Kate: I'm sure that you can, Jax. And if you do, two things will happen -- our friendship will be over, and Kate Howard will have to disappear as quickly and efficiently as Connie Falconeri.
Sam: How did you get past the guard?
Jason: It doesn't matter.
Sam: It does to me.
Jason: I just want to ask you a few questions about the hit-and-run.
Sam: Why, Jason? Why do you care who ran me down?
Elizabeth: I don't even know how to say this. So much is going to be destroyed, so much is going to come out.
Lucky: What are you talking about?
Elizabeth: Lucky, I think -- I think I'm responsible.
Lucky: Responsible for what?
Elizabeth: For Sam's hit-and-run.
Kate: Jax, I am begging you -- leave this alone.
Jax: What happened all those years ago that's scaring you so much? What could possibly be so bad that you can't even tell Sonny?
Kate: You're just going to have to trust me, ok? It is something that has to stay buried and if you can't do that, then we're done here.
Jax: Kate, maybe I can help.
Kate: No, Jax, you can't help. This is mine to shoulder, this is mine to deal with it, and it's mine to keep locked away.
Jax: Ok, fine. If that's what you want -
Kate: It's what I need.
Jax: It's what you want. Ok, but if you ever change your mind -
Kate: I won't.
Jax: Ok, ok, ok.
Kate: So -- what do you think of my ideas?
Jax: I love your ideas, I really do. I love your ideas and I also like the fact that you're going to make Port Charles the home base, which will keep costs down.
Kate: And having you as a major investor will do wonders for the project, not to mention me. I don't see how I can lose.
Jax: Unless, of course, you're doing it to win Sonny back.
Luke: Bringing me in does nothing but help you. I mean, I'm a grownup. I'm not some of these punks that you're running with right now. You know where I've been, you know who I am, and you know I'm no mole sent in to bust you by the feds. You know I know all the angles and the anglers. I know my way in and out of a tight situation. I know my way around a gun. And long ago, my -- my shade of morality turned as gray as my liver. This could do nothing but help you, Sonny. And I got some ideas that could put you hip-deep in cash.
Sonny: I know who -- who you are, Luke, and I know what you were capable of.
Luke: I "were"?
Sonny: I -- I'm not trying to be indelicate here.
Luke: Oh, no, Sonny, don't do that. You're known for your delicacy.
Sonny: How long have you been out of the hospital?
Luke: Long enough to get my sea legs back.
Sonny: And how many heart attacks have you had?
Luke: The number doesn't matter, man. What matters is I survived them.
Sonny: What are you supposed to be doing in the world?
Luke: I'm supposed to be sitting on a shelf gathering dust. And I'm about to explode, and if I do -- I can't answer for the casualties.
Sonny: Things have changed in the business, Luke. There's a code -- nobody gives a damn anymore. The world has gone to hell, everybody's expendable, everybody's a target -- women, children. You work for me, you got -- you got to -- you got to be at the speed of light.
Luke: And what am I? Like dial-up? All right. I can see you've written my walking obituary like everybody else. You think I'm too feeble to play cops and robbers anymore. Well, I can tell you I'm too damn stubborn to take a desk job, so I don't know where that leaves me -- just staring into the barrel of another dark, lonely night.
Sonny: You know, Luke, I'm not sure. I'm not sure where it leaves any of us, but I can tell you right now -- it's getting real dangerous out there.
Trevor: That meeting last night with the five families was about business, not your own sexual pleasure.
Claudia: What's the matter, Trevors -- you're not getting any?
[Trevor chuckles]
Trevor: Not to worry, toots. I never confuse my sexual satisfaction with business. You want to run this? You want to be head of the family? Go ahead, do it. But just don't treat it like it was your first night at a public pick-up joint.
Claudia: Who do you think cleaned up the mess in Sydney and put the Cavazzi organization back in the red in Miami? You think that was uncle Rudy? Unlike you, I'm tired of working behind the scenes. I'm here and I'm driving. So until you understand who you're really dealing with, you get in the back seat.
Trevor: And I am telling you that your father would not want this.
Claudia: I don't know what my father would want. But I'm going to find that out.
Trevor: Well, it's too bad that he's insane.
Claudia: Well, guilt will do that to you. The man's got a lot of things to feel guilty about, but I'll tell you something -- I betcha I can still figure out what's going on in that maze of a mind of his. You never know what you might find out.
Elizabeth: You know I've been having nightmares about the fire and losing Jake and seeing Sam with Jake and -- and I haven't been sleeping. I shouldn't have left the hospital when I did -
Lucky: Stop. I know what you're afraid of. You're worried that the lie about Jake will come out -- well, it won't. All right, there's no reason that story will see the light of day.
Elizabeth: There's more.
Lucky: No, it is not your fault. I'm the one who dragged Sam's lies out of you. I'm the one who got in a fight with her and threw her out of the house and put her in the right path of the text message killer. The guy, he played cat and mouse with her, he attacked her, and she wound up running out in front of a car. So, I mean, do you see that this has nothing to do with you? I'm just not sure I can say the same thing about Jason.
Jason: What did you see the night of the accident?
Sam: I don't have to tell you anything. And there's actually no point in telling you anything since you're not going to believe me any more than anyone else does anyway.
Jason: Why not?
Sam: Why -- why not? I don't know, Jason. Maybe because I'm the great liar, the great manipulator, the big bad witch -- remember?
Jason: The accident report says that you were thrown to the right.
Sam: How would you know what the accident report says? I'm pretty sure that's illegal, isn't it? Oh, wait, that's right -- I mean, using poor Spinelli to do your spying and prying and -- and breaking into private polices files is nothing compared to the crimes and cover-ups that you and Sonny commit. Is Elizabeth riding shotgun yet like I used to? Or is she still afraid of her own shadow?
Jason: You were struck by the passenger's side of the car. What -- what did you see?
Sam: What do you think I saw? I saw -- I saw headlights, Jason. I was thrown in the middle of the road, two -- two headlights. I was too busy fighting off the text message killer. Oh, what's the matter? Is this the first time the all-knowing, almighty Jason Morgan is hearing about this? Or are you just waiting around here for him to finish me off?
Alexis: Hey!
Diane: Hi.
Alexis: Hi!
[Alexis chuckles]
Alexis: What are you doing here?
Diane: Prego -- the working woman's friend.
Alexis: It's heart smart, ok?
Diane: So is what's in here.
Alexis: I'm sure it is.
[Diane chuckles]
Alexis: All right, so what's going on here? Why are you here?
Diane: Well, I have decided that you need to relax and take your mind off of Sam.
Alexis: I don't think that's going to happen.
Diane: Ok. Well, what if I tell you that I am taking on the case of Joe smith, bomb-wielding mechanic, versus general hospital?
Alexis: I am going to say to you that I don't want to talk about this right now.
Alexis: I don't.
Diane: And when I am done, not only will Joe smith be a free man, but General Hospital is going to have to pay him so much that he will be able to buy his garage back and build his own maternity ward to watch his child being born. First step -- the filing for his bail hearing.
Alexis: You know you don't stand a chance.
[Diane giggles]
[Alexis snickers]
Sam: I know everybody thinks I have a reason to make all this up, but --
Jason: No, I believe you. Now, I don't want this guy to get you, I don't want this guy to get anybody else. He needs to pay for what he did to my sister, Leticia, and Georgie.
Sam: And even me? Why the sudden thaw -- what's in it for you?
Jason: I'm -- I'm sorry you're so bitter. I know I didn't -- I didn't help.
Sam: Wow. There is hope for you yet. Must be fatherhood. Or maybe it's St. Elizabeth's influence -- you know what, Jason? Don't do this, ok? Just get out. Go, get out!
Jason: Sam, if --
Ian: I hope you have a very good reason for being here with my patient, or I will have security arrest you where you stand.
Lucky: I know Jason couldn't be more of a sore subject between us, and you're staying away from him for the sake of Jake. I know you'd never willingly get Jason into any kind of trouble. But he was at the scene where Sam was hit, and frankly, he doesn't have a very good explanation for it.
Elizabeth: Jason drives a motorcycle. Sam was hit by a car.
Lucky: Defending him is almost like a reflex to you. It's like you two talk in alibis.
Elizabeth: He didn't do it.
Lucky: Listen, you and I have this urge because we feel guilty for what happened to Sam. It's because we have a conscience. Jason -- he's got a blind spot in that area or he would not be able to do what he does for a living. He may not have hit Sam, but he knows something about that accident. So please just take my advice and keep your distance. It's still the best thing for our little boy.
Patrick: Ahem. Hey, so this, um -- this sperm donor thing -
Robin: Yeah?
Patrick: It's, uh -- it's completely anonymous, right? I mean, the prospective mother doesn't know who the prospective father is, do they?
Robin: No, that's the way it works. Why?
Cassius: Hey, I need a doctor fast -- it's Epiphany. I found her unconscious in the locker room.
Luke: You know what it's like to cheat death. You've seen that bright, white light go out. And you've danced with the dark and clawed your way back, and what did you want to do when you made it back?
Sonny: Live.
Luke: Yeah -- live. And what would you do if some witch doctor and a bunch of meddling relatives had the rest of your life planned and what you consider living was not on the menu?
Sonny: I'd fight it like hell, but I wouldn't put other peoples' lives at risk, and that's what you're asking me to do, Luke.
Luke: You owe me, Sonny. Among other things, I'm the guy that found your boy Jason after the train wreck when he was looking at a mile of dirt over his head.
Sonny: I owe you, I owe you many times over, man. You know what? Maybe turning you down is -- is paying you back and you don't even know it yet.
Luke: I'm not giving up on this, Corinthos.
Sonny: That's what I hear living's all about, Luke.
Luke: Yeah -- that and a warm body to come home to at night. But I don't suppose you have any lack of that, either.
Mike: Hey.
Mike: I, uh -- I caught Michael buying bullets on the docks last night. And I thought I should give you a heads-up before -- before this thing got out of hand.
Ian: This man threatening you?
Sam: No -- what would happen if I said yes?
Jason: It would be a lie.
Ian: I don't believe I've given you the floor.
Sam: His name is Jason and we used to be together. You know, I offered my life to him on a silver platter when I thought he was human.
Ian: Well, I don't care who you are or what you do outside this hospital, but inside it, you have two obligations -- respect the people that are sick and stay out of the way of the people trying to take care of them. Right now, you're not doing either.
Jason: If you remember something, I'd like to know if you want to tell me.
Ian: Your friend looks like he likes to walk on the wild side.
Sam: Yeah, he does. But someday, he'll meet his match.
Singer: This time I'll go all the way I might get full of steams I'm sorry about your broken heart but I can't live your dreams
Coleman: Well, hello there. Welcome to Jake's. What -- what are you in the mood for?
Claudia: Trouble.
Luke: I can arrange that.
Singer: I'm going to tangle love and all the way
Jax: You know how I feel about Sonny -- and any women that get mixed up with him.
Kate: Jax, I remember this time in Monte Carlo.
Jax: Well, I remember many.
Kate: Mm-hmm. Well, it was the first time that we met, and I saw this handsome man walking across the room towards me with this determined smile and -
Jax: Oh.
Kate: Imagine my surprise when you not only knew I was Kate Howard, but that you wanted me to introduce you to "Couture's" hottest model. Mm-hmm.
Jax: Hmm, yeah.
Kate: Yeah, she was standing aloofly and appropriately by the ice sculpture -
Jax: Yes, she was, mm-hmm.
Kate: And no amount of warning would deter you, so I relented and introduced you.
Jax: Yes, and I paid the price.
Kate: And I will pay the price with Sonny -- or not. Look, he wouldn't be hurting this much if he didn't still love me.
Jax: Well, sometimes the more Sonny loves, the more people get hurt.
Diane: Nuts with your Prego?
Alexis: This man is in prison and that's exactly where he's going to stay.
Diane: That man is going to go free.
Alexis: He's dangerous.
Diane: There are far more dangerous men roaming the streets.
Alexis: Uh, uh! Where do you think you're going?
Kristina: Ariel!
Alexis: Did you leave her out on the porch again?
Diane: Oh, the poor princess is going to be a frozen fish stick! Sounds like she needs rescuing.
Alexis: No, no, no -- you stay right here.
