General Hospital Transcript Tuesday 1/19/99

Provided by Laura

EMILY: WE'RE STILL FRIENDS,
NIKOLAS.
I DON'T THINK LESS OF YOU.
NIKOLAS: I'LL MAKE THIS UP
TO YOU, I SWEAR.
EMILY, YOUR FRIENDSHIP MEANS
SO MUCH TO ME.
ROBIN: I DID THIS SO THAT
YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BE
AT THE MERCY OF CARLY
FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.
A.J.: WHAT KIND OF MOTHER
LEAVES HER SON WITH A CRIMINAL
INSTEAD OF HIS OWN FATHER?
CARLY: YOU CAN DELUDE
YOURSELF ALL YOU WANT, BUT JASON
IS MICHAEL'S FATHER.
A.J.: TELL ME --
WHO'S MICHAEL'S REAL FATHER?
ALEXIS: THERE IS NO FIRST SON
OF THE FIRST SON, AND I HAVE
A RIGHTFUL CLAIM TO WHAT YOU'VE
HOARDED!
ELIZABETH: HELLO?
NIKOLAS: EMILY.
ELIZABETH: NO, IT'S
ELIZABETH.
EMILY'S -- UM --
WE JUST GOT DONE EATING CAKE,
AND THE PARTY'S STARTING
TO BREAK UP.
NIKOLAS: SHE DOESN'T WANT
TO TALK TO ME.
ELIZABETH: IT'S NOT THAT.
SHE WANTED ME TO TELL YOU THAT
SHE CAN'T COME TO THE PHONE
RIGHT NOW.
NIKOLAS: ALL RIGHT.
WILL YOU ASK HER TO CALL ME
BACK?
YOU KNOW WHAT?
NEVER MIND. NEVER MIND.
I THINK I'VE DONE ENOUGH
TO HER FOR ONE NIGHT.
WILL YOU CALL ME WHEN YOU GET
HOME AND LET ME KNOW WHAT
SHE SAID?
I'M HERE ON THE DOCKS.
YOU GOT MY CELL PHONE NUMBER,
RIGHT?
ELIZABETH: NIKOLAS, I DON'T
KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.
SHE SAYS SHE'S OK, AND THAT'S
ABOUT ALL.
NIKOLAS: THEN SHE'S NOT.
THE MOST OK THING FOR HER WOULD
BE TO HATE MY GUTS RIGHT NOW.
LAURA: WHAT?
STEFAN: MEETING YOU
FOR DINNER IS SUCH A SIMPLE
THING,
BUT IT'S A LUXURY I THOUGHT
I MIGHT NEVER HAVE.
IT'S ALWAYS BEEN THE WRONG TIME
FOR US, WRONG PLACE.
UNTIL NOW.
LAURA: SOME THINGS HAVE
CHANGED.
AND SOME THINGS HAVE ONLY GOTTEN
MORE DIFFICULT.
THANK GOD THAT OUR SON CAN
FINALLY CALL YOU "FATHER" --
AS LONG AS NOBODY'S LISTENING.
STEFAN: ALEXIS KNOWS.
BUT I HAVE NO REASON TO BELIEVE
SHE'S SAID ANYTHING TO HELENA
YET.
LAURA: WELL, HOW PARANOID
IS SHE?
WHEN SHE SEES US TOGETHER,
IS SHE GOING TO THINK THAT WE'RE
PLOTTING AGAINST HER?
STEFAN: ALEXIS THINKS THAT
LIFE AND THE CASSADINES,
IN PARTICULAR, HAVE TREATED
HER UNFAIRLY.
IT'S A DIFFICULT PROPOSITION
TO DISPUTE.
BUT OUR MORE IMMEDIATE
DIFFICULTY IS KATHERINE BELL.
IT WAS SHE, NOT LUKE,
WHO TOLD NIKOLAS I'M HIS FATHER.
LAURA: SO SHE RECOVERED
HER MEMORY FROM THE PARAPET THAT
NIGHT?
STEFAN: OR LUKE TOLD HER.
LAURA: WELL, EITHER WAY,
SHE DIDN'T WASTE MUCH TIME
TRYING TO USE IT AGAINST US,
DID SHE?
I SUPPOSE SHE'LL BE DISAPPOINTED
WHEN SHE FINDS OUT THAT NIKOLAS
DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE US BOTH
BURNT AT THE STAKE.
STEFAN: WELL, AFTER TONIGHT,
WE SHOULD ASSUME THAT KATHERINE
IS PREPARED TO DO ANYTHING.
LAURA: WHY?
STEFAN: YOU KNOW THE ADAGE
"A WOMAN SCORNED"?
STEFAN: NO.
ALEXIS: YOU WERE AWAY WAY TOO
LONG.
NED: MM-HMM.
EVERY SECOND WITHOUT ME SEEMED
LIKE AN ETERNITY.
ALEXIS: SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
NED: THEN STOP WATCHING
YOUR BROTHER OUT OF THE CORNER
OF YOUR EYE.
ALEXIS: BE NICE.
HOW WAS EMILY'S BIRTHDAY PARTY?
NED: WELL, IT COULD HAVE BEEN
BETTER.
NEXT TO ME, EMILY IS
THE QUARTERMAINE MOST KINDLY
DISPOSED TO YOU CASSADINE TYPES.
AND NIKOLAS, UNFORTUNATELY,
HAD TO LEAVE THE PARTY EARLY.
ALEXIS: I WOULDN'T BE
SURPRISED IF STEFAN HAS HIM
KEEPING AN EARLY CURFEW THESE
DAYS.
NED: NOT AT THE HOME TEAM
MADE A MUCH BETTER SHOWING.
ALAN MADE A BRIEF CAMEO
APPEARANCE.
KATHERINE EXCUSED HERSELF,
WHICH OF COURSE WAS A RELIEF
TO ME, BUT INSULTED EMILY.
AND OUR NEW GOLDEN BOY,
MR. NEW LEAF HIMSELF -- A.J. --
NEVER SHOWED AT ALL.
FELICIA: THE TWINS BROUGHT
OVER THEIR DOGS, RUFUS
AND DUFUS.
YOU KNOW, THEIR SHEEP DOGS?
MAC: AND THEN THEY TOOK
GEORGIE AND MAXIE HOME TO EAT.
FELICIA: NO, NO.
MAXIE AND GEORGIE WENT OVER
THERE TO EAT.
MAC: THAT'S WHAT I JUST SAID.
FELICIA: NO, YOU SAID RUFUS
AND DUFUS WERE EATING MAXIE
AND GEORGIE.
MAC: OH, LOOK, I DON'T THINK
IDENTICAL TWINS SHOULD HAVE
IDENTICAL DOGS.
ANYWAY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING
FOR DINNER?
ROBIN: UM --
ACTUALLY, I HAVE SOME PACKING
TO DO.
THOSE THINGS THAT I LEFT
IN THE SPARE ROOM.
MAC: PACKING FOR WHAT?
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
ROBIN: PARIS.
I CAME BACK, I MADE AN EFFORT,
AND IT DIDN'T WORK, SO --
MAC: ROBIN, WHAT HAPPENED?
A.J.: COME ON, JASON.
YOU HAVE A REPUTATION TO UPHOLD.
THE MAN WHO NEVER LIES -- IT
GIVES HIM A HEADACHE.
THE MAN WHO CHOOSES HIS WORDS
WITH SURGICAL PRECISION.
SAY NO WHEN IT'S YES,
SAY IT'S BLACK WHEN IT'S WHITE.
NO, NOT OUR JASON.
SO,
ROBIN TELLS ME I'M MICHAEL'S
FATHER.
CARLY SAYS I'M NOT.
WHAT'S YOUR STORY?
HUH?
ARE YOU GOING TO TELL ME YOU HAD
A THING BEHIND TONY'S BACK?
BACK BEFORE HIS PREBONKER DAYS?
JASON: THAT'S RIGHT.
A.J.: EVERY TIME HE LEFT
THE APARTMENT, EVERY TIME
HE LEFT THE ROOM, YOU GUYS WOULD
GO AT IT.
COULDN'T GET ENOUGH OF EACH
OTHER.
JASON: NO, WE COULDN'T.
A.J.: MM-HMM.
WHICH MEANS THAT YOU WERE
CHEATING ON ROBIN EVERY CHANCE
YOU GOT.
JASON: OK.
A.J.: SO WHEN CARLY SHOWED UP
PREGNANT, THERE WASN'T MUCH
DOUBT IN YOUR MIND THAT THE BABY
WAS YOURS.
JASON: YOU KNOW, I CAN'T
REMEMBER BACK THAT FAR.
BUT THERE IS NO DOUBT
I AM MICHAEL'S FATHER.
A.J.: NO.
JASON, WHAT YOU ARE AND WHAT
YOU'VE BEEN ALL ALONG
IS A LIAR.
WORDS CAN'T EXPRESS
THE FEELINGS KIDS HAVE
ABOUT THE BAD TASTE
OF SOME MEDICINES.
BUT NOW THERE'S SOMETHING NEW
FROM CHILDREN'S TYLENOL...
SOFT-CHEWS.
THEY TASTE SO GOOD
AND DISSOLVE SO FAST,
KIDS WON'T MIND TAKING
THIS MEDICINE.
WORDS CAN'T EXPRESS HOW GOOD
YOU'LL BOTH FEEL.
I FEEL BETTER, MOM.
WELL,
MAYBE A FEW WORDS CAN.
NEW SOFT-CHEWS
FROM CHILDREN'S TYLENOL,
THE FIRST CHOICE
OF PEDIATRICIANS.

==
MAC: I TAKE IT THIS PARIS
TRIP'S NOT A VACATION.
ROBIN: I CAN REREGISTER
AT THE SORBONNE.
TURNS OUT IT'S NOT A PROBLEM.
FELICIA: BUT JASON'S NOT
GOING.
ROBIN: NO.
MAC: YOU KNOW WHAT I THINK?
I THINK YOU HAVE BEEN SPENDING
WAY TOO MUCH TIME HERE TAKING
CARE OF ME SINCE I'VE COME HOME
FROM THE HOSPITAL.
LOOK, THAT'S BOUND TO TAKE
A TOLL ON A RELATIONSHIP.
ROBIN: I BROKE UP WITH HIM.
MAC: I'M SORRY.
ROBIN: YOU DON'T HAVE TO SAY
THAT.
MAC: OK.
WHAT DID HE DO?
ROBIN: IT WASN'T LIKE THAT.
FELICIA: CARLY TRIED
SOMETHING.
ROBIN: THAT'S AN
UNDERSTATEMENT.
MAC: BUT YOU DIDN'T BREAK UP
WITH CARLY.
GRANTED, I'LL NEVER UNDERSTAND
WHY HE MOVED HIS
EX-GIRLFRIEND IN.
ROBIN: JASON WAS NEVER
UNFAITHFUL TO ME WHEN I WAS
AT YALE.
THAT'S PROBABLY THE ONLY GOOD
THING TO COME OUT OF ALL THIS,
IS THAT I CAN ACTUALLY SAY THAT
FINALLY.
IT WAS MADE UP BY CARLY
FOR PUBLIC CONSUMPTION SO THAT
NO ONE WOULD GUESS THAT MICHAEL
IS A.J.'S SON.
MAC: JASON JUST TOLD
YOU THIS?
ROBIN: NO.
I JUST TOLD A.J.
A.J.: HOW DID YOU KEEP ROBIN
QUIET FOR SO LONG?
BECAUSE I KNOW THAT SHE WASN'T
CRAZY ABOUT LIVING WITH THIS.
HOW COULD SHE?
CARLY: OH, EXCUSE ME,
WOULD YOU TELL HIM THAT ROBIN IS
JEALOUS?
SHE IS JEALOUS OF A LITTLE BABY.
AND TELL HIM WHY --
BECAUSE OF HER H.I.V.
SHE'S AFRAID SHE'S NEVER GOING
TO HAVE KIDS --
JASON: OK, OK, CARLY --
CARLY: AND SHE CAN'T STAND
THE --
JASON: CARLY.
WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT ROBIN.
SHE'S NOT HERE.
I DON'T KNOW WHY SHE SAID WHAT
SHE SAID, BUT SHE WAS WRONG.
A.J.: SORRY.
CAT'S OUT OF THE BAG.
NOW, SINCE WE'RE ON THE SUBJECT
OF HONESTY, YOU WANT SOME
FROM ME?
SEE, WHEN ROBIN FIRST SAID IT,
AT FIRST -- AT FIRST I DIDN'T
BELIEVE IT.
NOW, IF SHE HAD TOLD ME THAT
CARLY HAD LIED TO YOU ABOUT
WHO MICHAEL'S FATHER WAS,
WELL --
BUT YOU SEE, I ALWAYS THOUGHT
THAT IT WAS ALL THOSE DIRTY
TRICKS, ALL THOSE THINGS THAT
WE QUARTERMAINES WERE FAMOUS
FOR.
THAT'S WHY YOU TURNED YOUR BACK
ON US -- BECAUSE YOU WERE ABOVE
US, YOU WERE TOO PURE FOR US.
BUT THEN ALL THE DETAILS STARTED
TO MAKE SENSE.
THEY STARTED TO ADD UP.
BUT WHY WOULD ROBIN TAKE
YOU BACK AFTER MICHAEL WAS BORN?
THAT'S EVIDENCE THAT SHE'D BEEN
REPLACED.
AND WHY WAS I THE ONE
QUARTERMAINE KEPT FURTHEST AWAY
BY YOU AND A CAUTION LIGHT
FLASHING IN YOUR FACE BY HER?
JASON: CARLY, MICHAEL'S
WAITING.
CARLY: DID ROBIN GIVE YOU ANY
PROOF?
OF COURSE NOT BECAUSE THERE
ISN'T ANY.
A.J.: WELL, THAT WILL CHANGE.
CARLY: A.J., MICHAEL HAS
JASON'S BLOOD TYPE.
NOW, YOU FOUND THAT OUT
FROM THE HOSPITAL, NOT FROM ME.
LOOK, MAYBE ROBIN BELIEVES WHAT
SHE'S SAYING, BUT IT'S
A FANTASY.
JASON: CARLY, LET'S GO.
CARLY: WAIT A SECOND,
I MEAN, LOOK AT THE TIMING.
IT HAPPENS RIGHT WHEN JASON
AND ROBIN BREAK UP.
DOES THAT SOUND, LIKE,
CONVENIENT TO YOU?
DOES THAT SOUND LIKE REVENGE?
JASON: CARLY, I SAID DROP IT.
A.J.: SHE'S NOT SAYING
ANYTHING I DON'T ALREADY KNOW.
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THIS IS
ABOUT -- YOUR REVENGE ON ME,
JASON.
NED: ARE LUKE AND LAURA
SEPARATED?
FIGHTING?
TRYING TO DRIVE EACH OTHER NUTS?
ALEXIS: I'M NOT AN AUTHORITY
ON THE DOMESTIC AFFAIRS
OF THE SPENCERS.
NED: WELL, SHOULD WE GO OVER
AND SAY HELLO?
ALEXIS: DIDN'T OUR WAITER SAY
THAT HE WAS COMING RIGHT BACK
WITH OUR DINNERS?
NED: OH, YES, THAT'S TRUE.
THAT'S TRUE.
MAYBE I SHOULD SEND STEFAN
A GLASS OF PORT AFTER DINNER.
ALEXIS: I REALLY WISH
YOU WOULDN'T.
NED: AHA.
THERE'S BEEN A FALLING-OUT
BETWEEN YOU AND STEFAN.
ALEXIS: YES.
NED: LET ME GUESS --
ONE OF YOU WITHHELD SOMETHING
FROM THE OTHER.
ALEXIS: OH, WELL, THAT'S NOT
FAIR.
WITH A CASSADINE, THAT'S ALWAYS
A SAFE GUESS.
I LEARNED RECENTLY THAT
HE WASN'T TOTALLY HONEST ABOUT
WHAT WE CALL THE CASSADINE
LEGACY, AND HE WASN'T PLEASED
TO HAVE THAT BROUGHT
TO HIS ATTENTION.
NED: OH, WELL, BY "LEGACY,"
DO WE MEAN INHERITED CUSTOMS,
ETC., OR INHERITED MONEY?
ALEXIS: OUR INHERITED CUSTOMS
ALL CENTER AROUND WHO INHERITS
OUR MONEY.
NED: NIKOLAS DOES.
YOU DON'T.
ALEXIS: WELL, IT TURNS OUT
THAT I'M ENTITLED TO SOME
PORTION.
NED: SMALL? LARGE?
ALEXIS: WELL, THERE'S REALLY
NO PROCESS FOR FIGURING THAT
OUT.
I'LL HAVE TO CONSTRUCT ONE.
NED: BULLY FOR YOU.
GATEKEEPER MAKES GOOD.
YOU KNOW, PROCESSING WHEN
THERE'S NO PROCESS COULD GO
UNDER "OCCUPATION" ON MY TAX
RETURNS.
NEED A HAND?
LAURA: I THINK WE SHOULD TRY
TO FIND NIKOLAS.
I MEAN, WHO KNOWS, KATHERINE
COULD BE WITH YOUR MOTHER RIGHT
NOW TELLING HER EVERYTHING.
STEFAN: I KNOW EXACTLY WHERE
HE IS.
FORTUNATELY, I HAD TIME TO PUT
PROTECTION IN PLACE FOR HIM.
AND HELENA AND ALL OF
HER PRIMARY CONTACTS ARE UNDER
SURVEILLANCE.
HE'S IN NO IMMEDIATE DANGER,
I PROMISE YOU.
LAURA: BUT WHAT HAPPENED
TONIGHT?
IF IT WASN'T YOU THAT SET
KATHERINE OFF, WHAT DID?
STEFAN: NIKOLAS.
LAURA: I WISH HE WOULD KEEP
HIS DISTANCE FROM HER.
HE DOESN'T STILL CONSIDER
HER A FRIEND, DOES HE?
STEFAN: NO.
IN FACT, HE BROKE THINGS OFF
WITH HER, WHICH IS WHY SHE IS
BOUND TO BE VENGEFUL AND HARD
TO PREDICT.
LAURA: BROKE WHAT OFF?
STEFAN: SHE HAD BECOME
HIS MISTRESS.
LAURA: WHAT?
STEFAN: THEY WERE HAVING
AN AFFAIR.
LAURA: NO -- YOU MEAN,
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SHE TOLD
YOU, RIGHT, SOMETHING JUST
TO SEE IF SHE COULD GET
YOU TO GO FOR HER THROAT, RIGHT?
STEFAN: NO, NIKOLAS TOLD ME.
HOWEVER, I ALREADY KNEW.
LAURA: HOW?
STEFAN: A FAIRLY SIMPLE
DISCOVERY ARRANGED BY LUKE.
LAURA: HOW CAN YOU SIT HERE
AND TALK ABOUT THIS
SO CAVALIERLY?
STEFAN: LAURA, THERE IS
NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT IT NOW.
THERE WAS NOTHING NIKOLAS WOULD
HAVE LET ME DO ABOUT IT THEN.OBVIOUSLY.
LAURA: MY GOD.
SHE'S MY AGE!
AT LEAST!
SHE SAID SHE THOUGHT OF HIM
AS A SON.
SHE WAS ENGAGED TO BE MARRIED
TO YOU.
STEFAN: OBVIOUSLY
SHE INTENDED TO HURT ME.
LAURA: WELL, FINE, THEN.
LET HER CALL YOU NAMES,
LET HER GO OUT AND SEND YOU DEAD
RATS IN THE MAIL, WHATEVER
SHE WANTS.
BUT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE
OF AN INNOCENT TEENAGE BOY --
MY GOD, IN A CIVILIZED COUNTRY,
SHE'D BE DRAGGED TO THE TOWN
SQUARE AND STONED.
BARTENDER: DOUBLE MARTINI,
THREE OLIVES.
KATHERINE: THANK YOU.
BARTENDER: YOU'RE WELCOME.
( juice pouring )
MOM SAYS THE WHOLE FAMILY
SHOULD HELP OUT WITH DINNER.
SO, SHE GAVE EVERYONE A JOB.
MY JOB'S MAKING
WELCH'S JuiceMakers.
BUT IT'S NOT TOO HARD.
SEE, WELCH'S JuiceMakers
IS A CONCENTRATE
BUT IT'S NOT FROZEN.
AND IT COMES IN ALL KINDS
OF GREAT FLAVORS.
THIS IS CHERRY SENSATION.
IT'S
100%
JUICE...
( chuckling )
...AND EVERYBODY LOVES IT!
WE DRINK A LOT OF WELCH'S
JuiceMakers
AROUND HERE.
I GUESS THAT MEANS
I HELP OUT A LOT.
C

HA HA HA HA!
SHE WAS COMING HOME
TO THE JUNGLE...
AND TO THEIR WILD,
UNTAMED LOVE...
FOR BUTTER.
CUT DOWN BY CHOLESTEROL...
UNTIL--
DARLING, LOOK WHAT
I'VE BROUGHT BACK.
I CAN'T BELIEVE
IT'S NOT BUTTER !
IT'S THE PREMIER SPREAD
FLAVORED WITH REAL
SWEET CREAM BUTTERMILK...
FOR A FRESH BUTTER TASTE
BUT WITHOUT THE CHOLESTEROL.
HOW CIVILIZED.
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S NOT BUTTER!
??
GIVING YOUR KID
COLD MEDICINE CAN BE...
YUCK!
BUT NOW THERE'S DELICIOUS
NEW SOFTCHEWS TABLETS
FROM TRIAMINIC
THAT DISSOLVE MAGICALLY
IN AN INSTANT.
EASY TO GIVE,
EASY TO TAKE SOFTCHEWS
COME IN 3 DELICIOUS FORMULAS.
FOR...
YEAH.
BETTER?
ROBIN: I KNEW RIGHT AWAY THAT
JASON COULDN'T BE MICHAEL'S
FATHER.
I ASKED HIM.
HE DIDN'T EVEN HESITATE.
HE TOLD ME.
IT WAS CARLY'S LIE.
HE WENT ALONG WITH IT.
SHE HAS THIS TALENT FOR MAKING
PEOPLE GO ALONG WITH
HER STORIES.
THE MORE OUTRAGEOUS IT IS,
THE MORE PEOPLE IT HURTS.
IT'S INSANE.
IT HAD TO BE STOPPED.
MAC: I DON'T BLAME YOU.
ROBIN, LIVING WITH THIS
FOR A WHOLE YEAR HAD TO BE HELL
FOR YOU.
OF COURSE YOU HAD TO TELL A.J.
ROBIN: I TOLD THE SECRET
FOR THE SAME REASON THAT
I KEPT IT -- FOR JASON.
BEFORE, I COULD NOT BRING MYSELF
TO BE THE ONE WHO TORE THEM
APART.
AND THEN, AS I WATCHED HIM FALL
MORE AND MORE IN LOVE WITH THAT
CHILD EVERY DAY, I ALSO WATCHED
IT DAWN ON CARLY THAT HE WOULD
DO ANYTHING FOR THAT BOY.
FELICIA: WHAT HAPPENED
TO THE EXPERIMENT OF CARLY
LIVING ONLY WITH MICHAEL?
ROBIN: I DIDN'T EVEN LAST ONE
NIGHT, THANKS TO CARLY.
SHE KNEW THAT IT WOULD BE REALLY
HARD FOR JASON TO SEPARATE
HIMSELF FROM MICHAEL,
SO SHE SENT OUT ONE S.O.S. AFTER
ANOTHER AND FINALLY CONVINCED
HIM THAT THE BEST THING TO DO
WOULD BE FOR THEM TO ALL MOVE
IN TOGETHER.
MAC: WHAT?
ROBIN: JUST UNTIL MICHAEL WAS
OLD ENOUGH TO UNDERSTAND THAT
HIS PARENTS SHOULD BE APART.
FELICIA: IF A CHILD EVER
REALLY UNDERSTANDS.
ROBIN: EXACTLY.
SO, THAT WAS IT FOR ME.
MAC: LOOK,
I WANT TO GIVE YOU MY TWO CENTS,
AND I KNOW YOU PROBABLY DON'T
WANT IT, BUT I THINK YOU DID
THE RIGHT THING.
ROBIN: THAT'S WHAT I KEPT
SAYING.
BUT IS IT REALLY THE RIGHT THING
IF I HURT THE PERSON THAT
I WANTED TO HELP THE MOST?
JASON CAN'T EVEN LOOK AT ME.
HE'LL NEVER TRUST ME AGAIN.
I KNOW THAT.
AND IF HE DOES THINK OF ME --
EVEN IF HE LETS HIMSELF --
HE'LL THINK OF ME AS THE PERSON
WHO RUINED HIS LIFE.
A.J.: YOU NEVER FORGAVE ME
FOR THE ACCIDENT.
YOU NEVER WILL.
I WILL ALWAYS BE TO YOU JUST
A DRUNK WHO INTRODUCED YOUR HEAD
TO A TREE AT 65 MILES AN HOUR,
RIGHT?
AND NO APOLOGIES, NO
100 APOLOGIES, WOULD EVER CHANGE
THAT.
BUT WHAT COULD I DO
BUT SAY IT AND GROVEL?
BUT IT DIDN'T MATTER.
YOU LOOKED RIGHT THROUGH ME.
MY REMORSE MEANT NOTHING TO YOU.
IN FACT, YOU CLAIM THAT
YOUR LIFE WAS BETTER OFF
WITHOUT US.
BUT, HEY, TALK ABOUT
YOUR SECRETS, HUH?
YOU SURE PAID ME BACK.
YOU TOOK -- YOU TOOK MY SON.
YOU TOOK A YEAR OF HIS LIFE AWAY
FROM ME, AND YOU TRIED TO TAKE
THE REST.
YOU TALK ABOUT GETTING EVEN.
I WILL NEVER FEEL GUILTY AGAIN,
JASON, EVER.
JASON: A.J., YOU KNOW,
MICHAEL HAS NOTHING TO DO
WITH YOUR DRINKING.
HE HAS NOTHING TO DO
WITH DRIVING OR 65 MILES
AN HOUR.
THAT TREE DID ME A FAVOR.
IT'S LIKE THEY TOOK MY BRAIN OUT
AND GAVE IT BACK TO ME,
LAUNDERED OF ALL OF YOU.
I DIDN'T STEAL MICHAEL TO PAY
YOU BACK.
I DIDN'T STEAL MICHAEL, PERIOD.
AND I'M NOT GOING TO LET YOU,
EITHER.
HE BELONGS WITH HIS MOTHER
AND ME.
FIVE MINUTES AROUND THAT KID
AND YOU CAN SEE THAT.
A.J.: YOU KNOW, I'D LOVE
TO HAVE FIVE MINUTES
WITH MY SON.
YOU KNOW THAT?
I MEAN, THOSE TWO HOURS THAT
I SPENT WITH HIM WERE LIKE --
THEY WERE LIKE CHRISTMAS
AND FOURTH OF JULY ALL IN ONE.
IT MADE ME FEEL LIKE A KID AGAIN
UNTIL HIS JAILOR WALKED IN --
WHICH IS WHAT YOU ARE, JASON.
YOU'RE NOT HIS FATHER.
YOU HANDPICK THE PEOPLE WHO ARE
ALLOWED TO GO NEAR HIM.
YOU CONTROL EVERY BREATH
HE TAKES.
BUT THAT'S GOING TO CHANGE
BECAUSE I'M COMING TO
HIS RESCUE.
THAT'S RIGHT, I'M GOING TO GET
A COURT-ORDERED PATERNITY
TEST -- A BLOOD TEST, JASON.
CARLY: FINE.
FINE, A.J.
YOU KNOW WHAT?
YOU DO THAT IF YOU WANT TO MAKE
A FRONT-PAGE FOOL OF YOURSELF.
YOU THINK OUR MOMENT AT JAKE'S,
COMPLETE WITH DRUNKEN BLACKOUT,
IS GOING TO TOUCH THE PUBLIC
HEARTS?
HEY, OUR ALCOHOLIC HOUR DID NOT
MAKE A BABY.
I MAY HAVE BEEN LONELY AND NOT
VERY DISCRIMINATING,
BUT I WASN'T CRAZY.
I PROTECTED MYSELF.
A.J.: WELL, YOU BETTER NOTIFY
YOUR PAROLE OFFICER
BECAUSE YOU WILL BE HAVING SOME
LEGAL TROUBLES AHEAD.
AND BELIEVE ME, IT'LL TAKE
A JUDGE ALL OF 10 MINUTES
TO SORT THIS OUT.
AND THEN I'M GOING TO TAKE
MY SON HOME,
GIVE HIM MY NAME,
AND DO EVERYTHING I CAN TO MAKE
SURE THAT HE FORGETS YOU,
THAT YOU NEVER EXISTED.
CARLY: DAMN HER.
AND DON'T YOU DARE TELL ME
TO SHUT UP.
JEEZ, I KNOW THAT SHE HATES ME,
BUT HOW COULD SHE DO THIS
TO YOU?
WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO, JASON?
JASON: WE'RE GOING TO GET OUT
OF HERE AND GET HOME TO MICHAEL.
COME ON.
NIKOLAS: LIZ.
ELIZABETH: I DID A TERRIBLE
THING -- THE LATEST IN A LONG
LINE OF TERRIBLEHINGS.
I TOLD MY GRANDMOTHER THAT
YOU LEFT SOMETHING AT EMILY'S
HOUSE AND I HAD TO BRING IT
TO YOU HERE.
NIKOLAS: SHE'S WAITING?
ELIZABETH: YEAH.
NIKOLAS: YOU DIDN'T HAVE
TO DO THAT.
WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST CALL ME?
ELIZABETH: BECAUSE.
BECAUSE YOU'RE LUCKY'S BROTHER
AND YOU'RE UPSET.
NIKOLAS: IF YOU'RE ABOUT
TO FEEL SORRY FOR ME, DON'T, OK?
I MEAN, THERE'S A TYPE OF MAN
THAT I HATE, A MAN WHO TREATS
A WOMAN LIKE A WARDROBE ITEM,
WHICH IS EXACTLY HOW I ACTED
TONIGHT.
ELIZABETH: WHATEVER
YOU DID -- AND I'M NOT ASKING --
I DON'T EVEN WANT TO KNOW --
YOU COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT
ON PURPOSE.
EMILY DOESN'T BLAME YOU.
SHE'S NOT ANGRY.
NIKOLAS: YEAH, BUT I WAS
TAUGHT TO CONSIDER THE
CONSEQUENCES OF EVERYTHING THAT
I DO.
YOU KNOW, THIS DIDN'T HAVE
TO HAPPEN.
AND I REALIZE NOW THAT THERE
WERE SIGNS.
YOU KNOW, I SHOULD HAVE PAID
MORE ATTENTION.
I SHOULD HAVE FOUND WAYS TO LET
EMILY KNOW HOW IMPORTANT SHE IS
TO ME AS A FRIEND.
ELIZABETH: NOT AS
A GIRLFRIEND.
IF THERE'S A PAINLESS WAY TO SAY
THAT, I DON'T THINK ANYONE'S
FOUND IT YET.
NIKOLAS: YEAH.
DID YOU SEE THIS COMING?
ELIZABETH: OH.
WELL, I GUESS I KNEW EMILY WAS
THINKING OF YOU IN A CERTAIN WAY
THAT I DON'T THINK YOU WERE
THINKING OF HER IN.
NIKOLAS: YEAH, BUT,
I MEAN, DID I MISLEAD HER?
DID I GIVE OFF MIXED MESSAGES?
ELIZABETH: NO. NO, NO, NO.
THERE WERE JUST THINGS THAT
WEREN'T SPELLED OUT.
YOU KNOW, I MEAN, YOU UNDERSTOOD
THEM YOUR WAY, AND SHE
UNDERSTOOD THEM HER WAY.
YOU'VE SPENT SO MUCH TIME
WITH EMILY, IT'S NOT CRAZY
OF HER TO THINK THAT YOU LIKE
HER.
NIKOLAS: BUT I DO.
I MEAN, I DO LIKE HER.
ELIZABETH: JUST NOT LIKE
THAT.
NIKOLAS: YEAH.
EMILY'S PROBABLY THE BEST FRIEND
I'VE EVER HAD, YOU KNOW.
THINGS WOULD BE A LOT EASIER,
A LOT BETTER, IF I DID FEEL
THE WAY SHE DOES.
NED: DON'T BE COY,
MS. DAVIS DAVIDOVICH CASSADINE.
NOW, I THOUGHT YOURS WAS ONE
OF THOSE EUROPEAN DYNASTIES
WHERE ONLY THE ELDEST SON
OF THE ELDEST SON INHERITED,
WHICH KEPT THE FAMILY WEALTH
INTACT, WHICH KEPT THE FAMILY
STATURE INTACT.
ALEXIS: YOU'VE BEEN
READING UP.
NED: MM-HMM.
AND ACCORDING TO THE RULES
OF PRIMOGENITURE, NIKOLAS
INHERITS IT ALL.
NOW, THERE'S NO PORTION
DESIGNATED FOR ANYONE'S
ILLEGITIMATE DAUGHTER.
UNLESS NIKOLAS ISN'T THE ELDEST
SON OF THE ELDEST SON.
AH.
UNLESS NIKOLAS
IS ILLEGITIMATE HIMSELF.
AND STEFAN KNEW?
ALEXIS: YES.
LAURA: DO YOU THINK SETTING
KATHERINE ON NIKOLAS WAS
YOUR MOTHER'S IDEA?
STEFAN: I DOUBT IT.
THERE ARE FEW THINGS TOO
REVOLTING FOR HELENA TO BE
INVOLVED IN, BUT THIS LIAISON
MAY BE ONE OF THEM.
THERE'S NO DOUBT THAT KATHERINE
PROMISED TO TRTO ALIENATE
NIKOLAS FROM ME.
LAURA: WELL, THAT EXPLAINS
WHY SHE WOULD DEVASTATE HIM
BY TELLING HIM THAT YOU WERE
HIS FATHER, NO DOUBT IN THE MOST
PAINFUL WAY.
BUT WHY LURE HIM INTO BED?
WHAT POSSIBLE ADVANTAGE DOES
THAT GIVE HER?
STEFAN: A PRIVATE REVENGE
ON US, I IMAGINE.
LAURA: EXCUSE ME A MOMENT.
STEFAN: LAURA, WE'RE
IN A PUBLIC PLACE.
LAURA: I'LL JUST BE A MOMENT.
KATHERINE: OH --
AH!
LAURA: YOU VINDICTIVE BITCH.
WHEN I BITE INTO
A YORK PEPPERMINT PATTIE,
I GET THE SENSATION
THAT I'M...
POISED ON THE ICE,
MY BACK TO THE GOAL,
FACING ICY PUCK
AFTER ICY PUCK!
SAVE!
KICK SAVE!
AND A BEAUT!
YORK PEPPERMINT PATTIE.
GET THE SENSATION.
GOT A BUSY BATHROOM ?
DON'T FORGET TO REPLACE
YOUR GLADE SPIN-FRESH REFILL...
EVERY 30 DAYS
FOR MAXIMUM GLADE FRESHNESS.
DON'T FORGET ?
DON'T WORRY.
REFILL FRESHNESS
FROM GLADE.
HEY, PARKAY,
WHAT'S THE WORD ?
BETTER.
- BETTER ? AREN'T YOU
SUPPOSED TO SAY, "BUTTER" ?
- BETTER.
BUTTER.
BETTER.
LOOK AT HOW YOU MELT.
JUST LIKE BUTTER.
MMM. YOU REALLY DO
TASTE BETTER.
BUTTER !
THE FLAVOR
SAYS--
BUTTER.

WHEN YOU COMBINE
REESE'S PEANUT BUTTER CUPS
AND CRISPY WAFERS,
THE COMBINATION
IS IRRESISTIBLE.
REESE STICKS...
I'VE NEVER SEEN
ANYTHING LIKE PERGO.
IT'S A GREAT
CONCEPT IN FLOORING.
IT'S VERY BEAUTIFUL
BECAUSE IT DOES LOOK
LIKE THE NATURAL WOOD.
IT'S VERY SIMPLE
TO INSTALL.
YOU CAN HAVE IT DONE
IN BASICALLY A WEEKEND.
IT HAS A TRIPLE WARRANTY
AGAINST FADING,
STAIN AND WEAR.
PERGO IS MADE TO FLOAT
OVER AN EXISTING FLOOR.
YOU CAN EVEN PUT
PERGO OVER TILE.
IT'S THAT VERSATILE.
IT'S BEAUTIFUL
AS WELL AS PRACTICAL.
AND IT'S AT A GREAT PRICE.
I'M VERY EXCITED TO HAVE
PERGO IN MY DEPARTMENT
AND WITH HOME DEPOT.
YOU'LL FIND PERGO AT
THE GUARANTEED LOW PRICE
EVERYDAY AT
THE HOME DEPOT.
ALEXIS: THAT WAS A PALPABLE
HIT.
NED: WELL, BE CAREFUL
ON THE WAY OUT.
SOMEWHERE ON THE FLOOR ARE THREE
OLIVES WAITING TO BE MASHED.
ALEXIS: DID YOU EVER THROW
A DRINK IN KATHERINE'S FACE?
A DRINK IN KATHERINE'S FACE?
NED: NO.
NO, I DON'T THINK I HAVE.
SHE ALWAYS GUZZLED THEM DOWN TOO
QUICKLY.
AND I DON'T THINK LAURA WILL LET
ME BE NEXT IN LINE.
IT'S A DEADLY COMBINATION --
ALCOHOL AND A WOMAN BREATHING
FIRE.
SO,
DO YOU HAVE MY INSTRUCTIONS?
ALEXIS: NED, THIS IS SERIOUS.
NED: OH, WELL, SO AM I.
AND THIS IS HOW I THINK
YOU SHOULD START -- BY MENTALLY
WANDERING THE AISLES
OF THE CASSADINE SUPERMARKET,
JOTTING DOWN ON YOUR WISH LIST
EVERYTHING THAT STRIKES
YOUR FANCY.
AND ONCE YOU HAVE EVERYTHING
YOU WANT IN YOUR SHOPPING CART,
IT WILL MOTIVATE YOU
TO PERSEVERE THROUGH A POSSIBLY
VERY LONG WAIT AT THE CHECKOUT.
KATHERINE: OH, WELL,
THAT WAS REFRESHING.
YOU'VE GIVEN ME AN IDEA
FOR A NEW SCENT.
BARTENDER: I'LL SEE
IF THE CONCIERGE CAN DO
SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR JACKET
AND BRING YOU A NEW DRINK.
KATHERINE: OH -- NO.
LET'S WAIT TILL THE FIRING SQUAD
LEAVES.
LAURA: HOW DARE YOU SEDUCE
MY SON.
KATHERINE: OH, SO THAT'S WHY
I'M DAMP WITH IMPORTED GIN.
HERE I THOUGHT I WAS DEALING
WITH LAURA THE POSSESSIVE LOVER.
AFTER ALL, YOU WON --
WHY GIVE ME ANOTHER BATH?
BUT, NO, IT'S MAMA BEAR.
LAURA: ARE YOU JOKING ABOUT
THIS?
I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT I EVER FELT
SORRY FOR YOU.
KATHERINE: WHEN?
FIVE MINUTES LAST MAY?
OH, THAT'S ALL RIGHT.
THERE'S BEEN MANY A TIME I FELT
SORRY FOR YOU -- MARRIED
TO THE FRYING PAN WHEN YOU'RE
YEARNING FOR THE FIRE.
LAURA: YOU HAVE COMMITTED
AN OBSCENITY.
DO YOU HAVE THE DECENCY TO KNOW
THAT?
NIKOLAS IS A BOY.
KATHERINE: LOOK AGAIN.
AND WHAT MAKES YOU SO SURE THAT
I DID THE SEDUCING?
LAURA: BECAUSE IT SUITS
YOUR AGENDA TOO PERFECTLY.
YOU WEREN'T OUT FOR PLEASURE.
YOU WERE OUT FOR PAIN.
YOU WANTED TO HURT STEFAN
BECAUSE HE DIDN'T MARRY YOU.
YOU WANTED TO HURT ME
BECAUSE I'M THE ONE HE LOVES.
AND WHAT A PERFECT WAY TO DO IT,
BY GOING AFTER NIKOLAS.
THAT WAY YOU CAN STRIKE OUT
AT US BOTH.
WELL, YOU KNOW SOMETHING?
I REALLY HATE TO DISAPPOINT YOU,
BUT I DON'T FEEL HURT.
I JUST FEEL DISGUSTED.
KATHERINE: NIKOLAS IS
NO CHILD.
AND HE'S WANTED ME FROM
THE FIRST TIME HE EVER SAW ME.
LAURA: OH, PLEASE.
KATHERINE: OH, YES,
IT'S HORRIFYING, THE DISGRACE
OF THIS SPECIES, THAT SEXUAL
MATURITY ARRIVES BEFORE
THE COLLEGE DIPLOMA.
I INSISTED ON FRIENDSHIP,
AND THAT'S WHAT WE HAD,
TRIED AND TRUE.
WHEN WE FINALLY ACTED
ON OUR ATTRACTION, THERE WAS
NO SEDUCTION AND NOTHING
SHAMEFUL ABOUT IT.
LAURA: YOU STAY AWAY
FROM MY SON.
DON'T EVER GO NEAR HIM AGAIN.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?
KATHERINE: OR YOU'LL WHAT?
TOSS ME OFF ANOTHER ROOF?
YOU KNOW, MAYBE YOU COULD GET
LUKE'S KATHERINE-KILLING
CRIB SHEET IN THE DIVORCE
SETTLEMENT.
STEFAN: ARE YOU GOING
TO COMPOUND YOUR DISTASTEFUL
BEHAVIOR BY CAUSING A SCENE NOW?
KATHERINE: ABSOLUTELY.
I THREW MY OWN DRINK IN MY FACE
JUST TO MORTIFY YOU.
STEFAN: I'LL SEE YOU HOME.
LAURA: NO, NOT YET.
KATHERINE: NO, YOU'RE NOT
LEAVING YET.
CARLY: WHAT DID SONNY SAY?
JASON: ABOUT WHAT?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
CARLY: MICHAEL'S UPSTAIRS --
JASON: YES, HE'S FINE.
HE'S WITH LETICIA.
CARLY: IS SHE GETTING HIM
READY?
JASON: FOR WHAT?
CARLY: WELL, I TOLD JOHNNY
THAT WE'D BE AT THE AIRPORT
IN 10 MINUTES, WE'D BE LEAVING
SO THAT WE CAN GET ON A PLANE
AND JUST GO SOMEWHERE.
I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE LIKE WHERE
SONNY WAS BEFORE, WHERE HE SAID
IT WAS REALLY GREAT,
NOBODY FOUND HIM, MICHAEL LIKED
THE OCEAN --
JASON: OK, HOLD ON.
CARLY, WE'RE STAYING HERE.
THIS IS OUR HOME.
CARLY: DO YOU NOT GET WHAT
A.J. IS TRYING TO DO HERE?
LOOK, A JUDGE TOOK MICHAEL AWAY
FROM ME ONCE BEFORE,
AND IF YOUR BROTHER GETS
HIS WAY, THIS TIME IT'LL BE
FOREVER.
JASON: THAT'S NOT GOING
TO HAPPEN.
CARLY: OH, REALLY.
AND HOW ARE YOU --
JASON: BECAUSE I'M NOT GOING
TO LET IT HAPPEN.
CARLY: OK, YOU'RE EITHER
IN SHOCK OR YOU'RE IN DENIAL.
AND WHILE I SYMPATHIZE, I AM NOT
GOING TO LET IT COST US OUR SON.
MONICA: WELL, I HOPE YOU HAD
AN ENJOYABLE EVENING.
A.J.: EMILY'S BIRTHDAY.
MONICA: YOU KNOW, THE IRONY
OF THIS IS THAT YOU DIDN'T
FORGET HER BIRTHDAY WHEN
YOU WERE DRINKING,
BEFORE YOU BECAME MR. E.L.Q. JR.
A.J.: SOMETHING UNEXPECTED
CAME UP.
I'M SORRY.
MONICA: WELL, DO ME A FAVOR
AND COME UP WITH A BETTER EXCUSE
THAN THAT WHEN YOU APOLOGIZE
TO EMILY.
SHE PUT ON A BRAVE FRONT,
BUT I COULD TELL SHE WAS VERY
HURT.
A.J., YOU ARE THE BROTHER THAT
SHE LIVES WITH.
SHE DEPENDS ON.
A.J.: I RAN INTO ROBIN
SCORPIO TONIGHT.
SHE TOLD ME SHE BROKE UP
WITH JASON.
MONICA: OH. WELL.
I'M SURE THEY'RE BOTH
DEVASTATED.
AND YOU PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE
STAYED WITH ROBIN, BUT YOU COULD
HAVE CALLED.
A.J.: SHE ALSO TOLD ME
THAT JASON'S SON ISN'T JASON'S
SON.
HE'S MINE.
A COLD MEDICINE...
CAN'T WORK IF YOUR CHILD
WON'T TAKE IT.
AND THEY'RE OFF !
TAKING A QUICK LEAD,
TIMMY ROUNDS THE FIRST CORNER !
DOWN THE BANISTER !
MOM FALLS TWO LENGTHS
BEHIND.
OOPS ! TIMMY TRIPS !
LOOKS LIKE MOM
IS CLOSING IN,
BUT NO !
TIMMY CLEARS THE HURDLE !
DOWN THE STRETCH,
TIMMY BOLTS FOR THE DOOR !
BUT WAIT ! MOM WAVES
THE DIMETAPP ELIXIR !
KIDS'LL LOVE THAT BIG GRAPE
DIMETAPP TASTE.
PEDIATRICIANS
LIKE THE WAY IT WORKS.
IT'S THEIR #1 CHOICE.
WHOA ! GRAPE !
FOLKS,
WE HAVE A WINNER !
DIMETAPP:
BEAUTY HAS MANY FACES,
BUT ONE THING IN COMMON.
DOVE.
THE BAR DOCTORS RECOMMEND
5 TO 1...
OVER ANY OTHER CLEANSER.
DOVE HAS 1/4
MOISTURIZING LOTION...
TO LEAVE SKIN SOFTER
THAN SOAP EVER COULD.
IF ONLY SNACKING
WEREN'T JUST ABOUT
SATISFYING YOUR HUNGER...
BUT YOUR HUNGER FOR LIFE.
IN THIS SPIRIT,
SNACKWELL'S BRINGS YOU
HEARTY FRUIT 'N GRAIN
CEREAL BARS
WITH ORCHARD FRESH FLAVORS
LIKE COUNTRY FRUIT MEDLEY.
THE NEW AGE OF BEAUTY?
IT'S COLOR THAT LOOKS YOUNGER,
MORE ALIVE.
IT'S THE AGE OF REVITALIQUE
THE BREAKTHROUGH AGE-DEFYING
HAIRCOLOR SYSTEM.
REVITALIQUE COMBINES
SENSATIONAL COLOR
WITH A RETINOL COLOR COMPLEX
INFUSING DULL HAIR
WITH NEW LIFE, NEW VIBRANCY
NEW SHINE.
AND REVITALIQUE GOES BEYOND
OTHER HAIRCOLORS
WITH A DAILY PROTECTANT
TO STRENGTHEN AND REVITALIZE
BETWEEN COLORINGS.
REVITALIQUE AGE-DEFYING COLOR.
SO ADVANCED,
IT COULD ONLY COME FROM CLAIROL.
ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.
BUT THERE'S ONE THING
EVERYBODY IN WASHINGTON
CAN AGREE ON.
THERE'S MORE HEARTBURN
THAN EVER!
THAT WOULD BE?
AND MORE REPUBLICANS.
MORE PAIN.
AND MORE BURNING,
MORE PRESSURE.
YEAH, AND IT'S TIME
SOMEONE DID MORE
ABOUT IT, TOO.
ALKA-SELTZER DOES MORE,
WITH MORE MEDICINES THAN
ANY ANTACID OR ACID BLOCKER.
ALKA-SELTZER SPEEDS
COMPLETE RELIEF TO YOUR WORST
HEARTBURN AND PAIN.
YEAH, ALKA-SELTZER.
THIS COUNTRY
DESERVES MORE.
YOU SOUND LIKE
A DEMOCRAT.
DEMOCRATS JUST PROMISE MORE.
WHEN YOU PUT BATH TISSUE
ON YOUR LIST, YOU WANT A TISSUE
THAT'S COMFORTABLE.
SO JUST REMEMBER
THREE WORDS OF COMFORT.
SOFT.
KLEENEX COTTONELLE ULTRASOFT
IS EVEN SOFTER...
THAN THE LEADING PREMIUM BRAND.
THICK.
IT'S THICKER THAN
THE LEADING BRAND, TOO,
WITH MORE COTTONY SOFT TISSUE
IN EVERY SHEET.
AND FINALLY, KLEENEX.
A WORD YOU'VE BEEN
COMFORTABLE WITH ALL YOUR LIFE.
KLEENEX COTTONELLE ULTRASOFT
HAS THREE WORDS OF COMFORT
FOR YOUR FAMILY.
MONICA: WELL, I DON'T --
WHY WOULD ROBIN THINK --
A.J.: SHE DOESN'T THINK.
SHE KNOWS.
AND SO DOES JASON, EVEN BEFORE
MICHAEL WAS BORN.
WHATEVER HE HAD WITH CARLY WAS
ANCIENT HISTORY BY THE TIME
SHE MOVED IN WITH TONY JONES.
MONICA: SO YOU AND CARLY?
A.J.: YEAH, THAT PART --
IT'S NOT PRETTY, BUT, YES.
I WAS OFF THE WAGON BIG TIME.
IN FACT, IT WAS ONE
OF MY BLACKOUT NIGHTS, AND CARLY
WANTED TO MAKE SURE IT STAYED
THAT WAY, WHICH IS WHY
SHE DRUGGED ME AND DUMPED ME
IN THE ALLEY.
HER LOGIC WOULD TAKE A TEAM
OF PSYCHIATRISTS TO EXPLAIN,
BUT BASICALLY SHE WANTED
HER BABY TO BE TONY'S.
ONLY I KNEW THERE WAS A GOOD
CHANCE IT WASN'T.
I TOLD HER THAT IF THE BABY WERE
MINE, I'D SUE HER FOR CUSTODY,
WHICH WAS MY FATAL MISTAKE.
THEN TONY REALIZED LIVING
WITH CARLY WAS INSANE
AND DECIDED TO BE INSANE
WITHOUT HER.
SHE NEEDED A PLACE TO HIDE,
AND SHE PICKED JASON,
WHO NATURALLY SAID, "I CANNOT
TELL A LIE, BUT IN THIS CASE,
I'LL MAKE AN EXCEPTION."
MONICA: ARE YOU SURE THIS
ISN'T SOMETHING THAT CARLY HAS
HATCHED UP IN HER --
A.J.: THIS IS SOMETHING THAT
SHE MOVED HEAVEN AND EARTH
TO HIDE.
MONICA: I CAN'T BELIEVE
JASON --
A.J.: I SEE.
I SEE THE GOLDEN BOY STILL GETS
YOUR VOTE.
YOU LIKE YOUR GRANDSON,
AND YOU LIKE JASON AS
HIS FATHER, EVEN THOUGH IT MEANS
YOU'LL NEVER GET TO SEE HIM.
MONICA: IT'S NOT THAT.
A.J.: SURE, IT IS!
YOU'RE NOT ALONE, MOM.
GIVEN THE CHOICE, EVERYBODY
WOULD CHOOSE JASON, EVEN ME.
IT'S WHY I GAVE HIM MY SON.
I LOOKED AT A BLOOD TYPE
ON A PIECE OF PAPER,
AND A LITTLE VOICE IN MY EAR
SAID WHAT IT'S SAID TO ME ALL
MY LIFE -- "LOSER."
SO I LET IT GO.
BUT I HAVE A SON NOW.
SO IF YOU PEOPLE STILL LOOK
AT ME AS A LOSER, THEN THE HELL
WITH YOU BECAUSE I DON'T NEED
YOU.
I HAVE A FAMILY OF MY OWN.
I HAVE A SON WHO WILL LOOK AT ME
AND SEE A FATHER.
CARLY: JASON, YOU CAN'T
STOP A.J.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?
I MEAN, ARE YOU GOING TO BEAT
HIM UP, END UP IN JAIL?
BRIBE A JUDGE?
FOR EVERY JUDGE YOU BUY,
EDWARD WILL BUY 10, AND THEN
HE'LL COME AFTER US
WITH EVERYTHING HE'S GOT.
WE DON'T STAND A CHANCE
OF KEEPING MICHAEL BECAUSE ROBIN
HAD TO OPEN HER STUPID MOUTH.
JASON: OK, CARLY, JUST HOLD
IT, OK?
YOU ARE MICHAEL'S MOTHER.
COURTS WANT KIDS TO BE
WITH THEIR MOTHER.
CARLY: RIGHT -- MOTHER'S THAT
SHOOT PEOPLE, JASON?
MOTHERS FRESH FROM A NICE LONG
STAY IN THE HOSPITAL
FOR THE CRIMINALLY INSANE?
NO JUDGE IS GOING TO BE
ON MY SIDE, OK?
IT WON'T TAKE EDWARD
AND A.J. 10 MINUTES TO MAKE ME
THE POSTER GIRL FOR UNFIT
MOTHERS.
AND YOU -- ONCE A.J. GETS THAT
BLOOD TEST, YOU WILL BE
COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
YOU'LL BE THE GUY WHO READ
TO MICHAEL FOR A YEAR
OF HIS LIFE.
YOU WILL HAVE NO LEGAL RIGHT
TO HIM WHATSOEVER.
IT'LL BE LIKE FIRING
THE BABYSITTER.
KATHERINE: SINCE WHEN DOES
NIKOLAS NEED PROTECTION FROM ME?
WHAT DAMAGE HAVE I EVER DONE
TO HIM COMPARED TO THE TWO
OF YOU?
AND YOU'RE HAVING A LOT
OF TROUBLE CUTTING THE APRON
STRINGS FOR SOMEONE WHO
PRACTICALLY ABANDONED HIM
AT BIRTH.
IS THERE REALLY MORE HARM
IN MAKING LOVE TO HIM THAN LYING
TO HIM EVERY SINGLE DAY
OF HIS LIFE?
STEFAN: IF YOU CARE FOR HIM
AS YOU CLAIM TO, YOU WILL SAY
NO MORE HERE.
KATHERINE: ALL RIGHT.
BUT LET ME JUST SAY I LOOK
FORWARD TO THE DAY THAT NIKOLAS
WALKS OUT ON YOU BOTH.
STEFAN: NO, NO, NO.
NO. NO. NO.
LAURA: I'M NOT DONE
WITH HER YET.
STEFAN: THIS WAY.
LAURA: WHAT?
STEFAN: JUST COME THIS WAY.
COME ON.
THERE'S A TOOTHPASTE
SO ADVANCED...
[ Brushing Sound Continues ]
IT KEEPS WORKING
EVEN AFTER YOU STOP BRUSHING.
THAT'S COLGATE TOTAL.
IT WORKS ALL DAY,
WHEREVER YOU GO...
FIGHTING CAVITIES AND TARTAR...
WHILE YOU'RE GEARING UP.
IT FIGHTS BAD BREATH
WHILE YOU'RE GOING STRONG.
IT EVEN FIGHTS PLAQUE
AND GINGIVITIS...
WHILE YOU'RE DREAMING.
LONG-LASTING PROTECTION.
COLGATE TOTAL.
THE BRUSHING SO ADVANCED,
IT WORKS BETWEEN BRUSHINGS.
EVERY EVENING IN EVERY HOME...
PARENTS SAY GOOD NIGHT
IN THE SAME LOVING LANGUAGE.
AND WHEN YOUR CHILD HAS A COLD,
- [ Coughs ]
- HE NEEDS THE ADDED TOUCH
OF VICKS VAPORUB.
THE WARMTH OF YOUR TOUCH
RELEASES THE MEDICATED VAPORS...
THAT QUICKLY RELIEVE CONGESTION
AND CALM COUGHING...
SO YOU CAN CRADLE HIM
IN LOVE AND COMFORT...
ALL NIGHT.
SWEET DREAMS.
NEW...
BOTH OF THESE CONTAINERS
CAN GO INTO THE MICROWAVE.
ONE OF THEM
DOESN'T ALWAYS MAKE IT.
NEW...
THESE CONTAINERS
COST ABOUT THE SAME.
BUT HOW DO THEY
REALLY STACK UP ?

LAURA: I THOUGHT YOU SAID
SHE'D BE PASSING THIS WAY.
STEFAN: DID I?
LAURA: YOU JUST BROUGHT ME
OUT HERE TO COOL ME DOWN,
DIDN'T YOU?
WELL, IT WORKED -- I'M FREEZING.
YOU THINK I WAS WRONG
TO CONFRONT HER?
STEFAN: I THINK YOU HANDLED
YOURSELF BEAUTIFULLY.
IT ALSO REMINDED ME WHY I WOULD
MUCH RATHER HAVE YOU AS A FRIEND
THAN AN ENEMY.
LAURA: THAT BAD?
STEFAN: NO, NOT BAD.
GOOD.
MONICA: SO IT APPEARS THAT
WE'RE JUST A BLOOD TEST AWAY
FROM KNOWING WHETHER OR NOT
A.J. IS A FATHER.
NED: AND THIS WHOLE
BIRTH-AND-BLACKOUT SAGA STRIKES
YOU AS BELIEVABLE?
I MEAN, WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT
JASON BORROWING HIS BIG
BROTHER'S VARSITY JACKET
FOR A YEAR.
MONICA: WELL, I BELIEVE THAT
A.J. WILL MAKE VERY SURE
OF HIS CLAIMS BEFORE HE ACTS
ON THEM -- OR A LOT OF PEOPLE
CAN GET HURT.
A.J.: YEAH, THAT'S TRUE.
AND SINCE I'M THE ONLY ONE THAT
THIS CURRENT ARRANGEMENT
BOTHERS, MAYBE I SHOULD JUST BE
BIG ABOUT IT.
WHAT THE HELL, IT'S ONLY A SON.
MOST PEOPLE DON'T HAVE MUCH USE
FOR THEM ANYWAY, RIGHT?
MONICA: DO WHAT YOU MUST.
NED: JASON AND CARLY SAY
ROBIN'S LYING OR JUST WRONG.
BUT YOU ARE SURE ENOUGH TO START
KNITTING BOOTEES AT YOUR NEXT
A.A. MEETING?
MAY I MAKE A SUGGESTION?
A.J.: NO.
NED: CONSIDER KEEPING
YOUR MOUTH SHUT.
A.J.: CONSIDER GOING TO HELL.
NED: WE ARE ALL GOING TO NEED
HIP BOOTS TO WADE THROUGH
THIS --
"AMNESIAC DRUNK SPENDS HOUR
IN THE SACK WITH SLUT,
SUES FOR AMNESIAC BROTHER'S MOB
BABY."
A.J.: MAY I MAKE
A SUGGESTION?
I THINK IT'S YOUR TURN TO BE
THE FAMILY DRUNK, NED.
I KNOW YOU CAN USE SOMETHING
TO CALM YOUR NERVES.
THE FIRST QUARTERMAINE
GREAT-GRANDSON IS MINE, AND I'M
GOING TO BRING HIM HOME
TO GRANDFATHER.
BUT I DON'T WANT YOU TO WORRY
TOO MUCH.
THE WORM IS FINALLY TURNING
IN MY DIRECTION.
BUT DON'T WORRY, THE OFFICE
OF VICE PRESIDENT IN CHARGE
OF PAPER CLIPS WILL ALWAYS BE
YOURS, PAL.
ROBIN: I KNOW HOW YOU FELT
ABOUT JASON.
I CAN'T REALLY BLAME YOU.
THERE WAS A TIME
THAT HE TREATED ME
DIFFERENTLY THAN HE TREATED
THE REST OF THE WORLD.
BUT NOW I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL
BECAUSE I'M LOCKED OUT
WITH THE REST OF YOU.
MAC: DON'T YOU HAVE TO ASK
YOURSELF, ROBIN -- I MEAN, IF IT
ALL DEPENDED ON A LIE,
WAS IT REALLY LOVE?
ROBIN: YEAH, IT REALLY WAS.
CARLY: HE LOVES YOU SO MUCH.
ARE YOU SURE?
JASON: YES, I'M SURE.
CARLY: YOU KNOW,
BECAUSE BY MORNING WE COULD JUST
BE MR. AND MRS. NOBODY LIVING
ANYWHERE --
JASON: CARLY, WE CAN RUN
ANYTIME.
FIRST WE FIGHT.
CARLY: I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN,
JASON.
JASON: WELL, YOUR JOB IS NOT
TO PANIC.
YEAH.
LIKE THAT LAST WEEK
IN FERNCLIFF.
YOU HAVE TO TRUST ME NOW MORE
THAN YOU EVER HAVE.
NO PICKING UP A GUN AND SHOOTING
ANYBODY, NO PRETENDING TO BE
CRAZY, NO MEETING EDWARD
OR A.J. HALFWAY.
I NEED TO HEAR YOU PROMISE ME
THAT YOU WILL KEEP IT TOGETHER
FOR MICHAEL'S SAKE.
CARLY: I'M GOING TO TRY.
JASON: NO, NO.
PROMISE ME.
CARLY: OK.
I PROMISE.
[MICHAEL COOS]
JASON: YES, MICHAEL.
