V: QUIT E.L.Q. AND DO WHAT
YOU OBVIOUSLY LOVE DOING.
NIKOLAS: WHEREVER YOU CHOSE
TO LIVE NEXT, I HOPE YOU'RE
HAPPY.
MONICA: JASON LOVES MICHAEL.
HE'S VERY GOOD WITH HIM.
A.J.: WHAT KIND OF MAN STEALS
HIS BROTHER'S SON?
JASON: I'M MICHAEL'S FATHER,
AND HE KNOWS IT, NO MATTER WHAT
A PATERNITY TEST SAYS.
EMILY: YOU ARE MICHAEL'S REAL
FATHER, AND HE DESERVES TO BE
WITH YOU.
KATHERINE: NIKOLAS.
IT'S COLDER DOWN HERE
BY THE WATER.
ISN'T THERE SOME LAW OF PHYSICS
THAT SAYS IT SHOULD BE
THE OPPOSITE?
YOUR TUTOR ISN'T WAITING
FOR YOU AT THE CLASSICS LIBRARY.
I LEFT THAT MESSAGE.
NIKOLAS: ALL RIGHT.
WHY WOULD YOU BE FOOLISH ENOUGH
TO DO THAT AND FOOLISH ENOUGH
TO TELL ME?
KATHERINE: YOU WANT SOMETHING
FROM ME, BUT YOU'RE AFRAID
TO ASK FOR IT.
I THOUGHT I'D BE HELPFUL.
DON'T YOU WONDER WHAT I'M GOING
TO DO WITH WHAT I KNOW ABOUT
YOU?
LUCKY: EXCUSE ME.
ELIZABETH: WHAT,
ARE YOU IN A DECAF-DRINKING
CONTEST?
LUCKY: THE QUICKER I DRINK,
THE QUICKER YOU COME OVER HERE.
ELIZABETH: YOU KNOW,
YOU'RE THE FLAW IN OUR
FREE-REFILLS POLICY.
LUCKY: AREN'T YOU ON BREAK
YET?
ELIZABETH: LUCKY, YOU JUST
WALKED ME HERE FROM SCHOOL
20 MINUTES AGO.
LUCKY: IT SEEMS LONGER.
YOU WANT ME TO LEAVE?
AM I DRIVING YOU CRAZY?
ELIZABETH: WHEN IT COMES
TO DRIVING ME CRAZY,
YOU'RE A ZERO.
MY SISTER DOES IT, MY GRAM DOES
IT, EVERY THIRD PERSON AT SCHOOL
CAN DO IT, BUT YOU -- YOU DON'T
EVEN REGISTER ON THE SCALE.
LUCKY: I WASN'T REALLY GOING
TO LEAVE.
I'M TOO BUSY MAKING MY LIST.
ELIZABETH: OH.
A LIST OF WHAT?
LUCKY: THINGS YOU COULD PAINT
TO MAKE THEIR EYES BUG OUT
OF THE HEADS AT THE ART
ACADEMY IN NEW YORK.
NOT THAT IT MATTERS
BECAUSE ANYTHING YOU PAINT
THEY'RE GOING TO LOVE.
NED: READ THAT.
EDWARD: "DEADLINE
FOR FILING."
NED: WHAT'S THAT DATE SAY?
EDWARD: WELL, IT'S TODAY'S
DATE.
WHAT AM I, A 5-YEAR-OLD?
GET THAT THING OUT OF MY FACE.
NED: DO YOU REALIZE HOW MUCH
MONEY WE WOULD HAVE BEEN
PENALIZED IF I HADN'T PUT
THE PAPERWORK TOGETHER AND RUN
DOWN TO THE PORT COMMISSION?
EDWARD: WHAT, DO YOU WANT
A MEDAL FOR DOING YOUR JOB?
NED: IT'S NOT MY JOB.
IT HASN'T BEEN MY JOB SINCE
YOU TOOK AWAY THE DOCKS
RENOVATION AND HANDED IT OVER
TO JUNIOR.
REMEMBER?
EDWARD: NO, A.J.'S TOO BUSY
FOR THAT TODAY, THOUGH.
NED: WHAT?
IS THE MOON BLUE?
IS IT A COLD DAY IN HELL?
ARE THERE PIGS TAXIING DOWN
A RUNWAY SOMEWHERE?
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN YOUR LONG,
SOUR LIFE, THERE'S SOMETHING
YOU CONSIDER MORE IMPORTANT THAN
FAMILY BUSINESS?
EDWARD: FAMILY BUSINESS IS
EXACTLY WHAT A.J. IS ATTENDING
TO WHILE WE SPEAK.
SONNY: SO, BENNY,
ARE YOU GOING TO BE AVAILABLE
TO HELP US OUT?
BENNY: "AVAILABLE"?
SIR, I DON'T MIND TELLING
YOU THAT RETIREMENT JUST DOESN'T
AGREE WITH ME, NOT THAT
MR. MORGAN WASN'T MORE THAN
GENEROUS IN PROVIDING FOR ME.
BUT I'D MUCH RATHER BE DOING
WHAT -- YOU KNOW, WHAT I KNOW
HOW TO DO.
AND I'D MUCH RATHER BE DOING IT
WITH YOU TWO GENTLEMEN THAN
ANYBODY.
SONNY: WELL, THAT'S GREAT.
THAT MEANS YOU ARE A GENTLEMAN.
NOW, THE OPERATION IS GOING
TO BE SET UP DIFFERENTLY.
BENNY: OK, THAT'S FINE.
WHAT DO WE SAY WE'RE IMPORTING?
JASON: COFFEE.
BENNY: COFFEE.
OK, AND THAT SHIPS BY THE POUND,
OR WAS IT THE BUSHEL, SACK?
I'M NOT -- YOU KNOW, DOES IT
HAVE TO BE COFFEE?
JASON: BENNY, THAT'S WHAT
WE'RE IMPORTING.
BENNY: OK.
OK, I'LL JUST -- I'LL DO SOME
RESEARCH ON HOW TO CODE
THE ENTRIES.
AND THEN ALL YOU'LL NEED IS
THE USUAL FRONT AND BACK SET
OF BOOKS AND --
SONNY: NO, BENNY.
NO, WE'RE NOT GOING TO USE
DOUBLE BOOKS ON THIS ONE.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
BENNY: WHAT HAPPENS WHEN
THE I.R.S. COMES KNOCKING?
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO SHOW THEM?
JASON: THE BOOKS.
BENNY: THE -- YEAH, BUT WHAT
ARE YOU GOING TO DO WHEN
THEY SAY, "WHERE'S THE COFFEE?"
JASON: THEN WE'LL TAKE THEM
DOWN TO THE WAREHOUSE.
BENNY: THE I.R.S.?
JASON: AND SHOW THEM
THE COFFEE.
BENNY: THERE'S ACTUAL COFFEE?
JASON: YES, TONS OF IT EVERY
MONTH.
BENNY: TONS?
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO
WITH TONS OF COFFEE?
JASON: BENNY, WE'RE GOING
TO SELL IT.
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO TELL
YOU.
BENNY: OH.
OK.
THE LESS I KNOW, THE BETTER.
IT'S OK.
SONNY: BENNY, WE'RE NOT
TRYING TO HOLD OUT ON YOU.
IT'S JUST JASON AND I ARE GOING
TO BE COFFEE IMPORTERS.
IMPORTERS OF COFFEE, PERIOD.
YOUR BROTHER'S HERE, AS WE KNEW
HE WOULD BE.
JASON: OK.
A.J.: HELLO, BOYS.
SONNY.
AM I INTERRUPTING?

HAND-DELIVER MYSELF.

A.J.: SONNY, I DON'T NEED
SOME SOCIAL WORKER TO RUN
INTERFERENCE FOR ME, AND I DON'T
NEED ANYONE TO TELL ME WHERE
MY SON BELONGS.
YOU GOT 48 HOURS.
BENNY: MAN.
WELL, I THINK I UNDERSTAND.
AND, LISTEN, I'M REALLY SORRY
ABOUT THE TROUBLE.
IF THERE'S ANYTHING I CAN DO --
SONNY: YEAH, YOU CAN HELP US
SET UP THIS IMPORT BUSINESS --
A NICE, CLEAN, VISIBLE MEANS
OF SUPPORT JUST IN CASE JASON
NEEDS IT.
BENNY: UH-HUH.
COFFEE.
OK, LET'S JUST HOPE IT SEEMS
NICE AND CLEAN TO MR. MORENO.
SONNY: MORENO CAN THINK WHAT
HE WANTS.
NOT TO WORRY.
BENNY: OK.
SONNY: OK?
BENNY: IT'S GOOD TO HAVE
YOU BACK.
SONNY: ALL RIGHT.
LIKEWISE.
BENNY: IF THERE'S ANYTHING
I CAN DO --
JASON: THANKS, BENNY.
BENNY: SURE.
JASON: I BETTER CALL
MY LAWYER.
SONNY: FIRST THINGS FIRST --
YOU BETTER WARN YOUR ROOMMATE.
I'LL GO AHEAD AND GET
THE LONGEST SPATULA I GOT.
WE CAN SCRAPE HER FROM
THE CEILING.
LUCKY: SO, I LOOKED THROUGH
SOME CATALOGS FROM THE ART
SCHOOLS IN THE GUIDANCE OFFICE.
FROM WHAT I CAN TELL, THERE ARE
SIX KINDS OF ARTS THEY GO FOR.
YOU READY FOR THIS?
ELIZABETH: MM-HMM.
LUCKY: OK.
YOU GOT PICTURES OF OLD
BUILDINGS, SOMETIMES FALLING
DOWN.
YOU KNOW, LIKE RUINS AND STUFF
LIKE THAT.
NUMBER TWO -- BOWLS OF FRUIT
WITH OR WITHOUT, A, GUITARS OR,
B, VASES OF FLOWERS.
NO, THERE WEREN'T ANY JUST
GUITARS WITH NO FRUIT.
FRUIT WAS THE COMMON
DENOMINATOR.
THREE -- LANDSCAPES INVOLVING
EITHER MOUNTAINS OR BEACHES.
OK.
FOUR -- YOU GOT PSYCHO-LOOKING
ROOMS WHERE THE CURTAINS ARE ONE
BIG PATTERN AND THE RUG IS
ANOTHER BIG PATTERN AND THERE'S
A LADY LOUNGING ON THE SOFA
IN ANOTHER BIG PATTERN.
IT'S A MESS.
FIVE -- YOU GOT PAINTINGS OF OLD
PEOPLE WITH A LOT OF CHARACTER
IN THEIR FACES.
SIX -- PAINTINGS OF NAKED PEOPLE
WITH NO FACES.
ELIZABETH: LUCKY, I'VE NEVER
PAINTED ANY OF THOSE.
LUCKY: THAT'S GOOD.
I MEAN, WHY BE LIKE EVERYONE
ELSE, YOU KNOW?
BUT MAYBE YOU WANT TO SHOW
THE ACADEMY SOMETHING THAT
THEY'LL UNDERSTAND.
I MEAN, JUST FOR THE ENTRANCE
SUBMISSION, RIGHT?
YOU KNOW WHAT I'M THINKING?CKY: I'M MAKING OUT PRETTY
GOOD ON THAT TRIP I MADE
FOR SONNY.
I MEAN, HE PAID ME HALF ALREADY.
I'M SUPPOSED TO GET THE OTHER
HALF TODAY.
I COULD HIRE YOU A MODEL.
ELIZABETH: WOULDN'T A BOWL
OF FRUIT BE CHEAPER?
OR AN OLD PERSON WITH LOTS
OF CHARACTER IN THEIR FACE?
I MEAN, THEY'RE A DIME A DOZEN.
LUCKY: ALL DEPENDS ON WHAT
YOU WANT TO PAINT.
ELIZABETH: OH, DO I WANT
TO PAINT SOMEBODY NAKED?
LUCKY: SOMEBODY FEMALE.
ELIZABETH: OH, OK,
AND I GUESS YOU'D DO
THE INTERVIEWING?
LUCKY: OF COURSE.
JUST KIDDING.
IT'S JUST A SUGGESTION.
ELIZABETH: THERE'S NOTHING
WRONG WITH THE SUGGESTION.
THERE'S JUST -- THERE'S
SOMETHING WRONG WITH ME.
I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN DO THIS,
LUCKY.
I'VE NEVER PAINTED FOR OTHER
PEOPLE BEFORE.
I MEAN, FOR YOU, YEAH,
BUT THAT'S BECAUSE I DIDN'T
WORRY ABOUT THE SIX APPROVED
SUBJECTS OR WHETHER YOU'D
LIKE IT.
I KNEW YOU ONLY CARED THAT I DID
IT FOR YOU.
AND THE PAINTING'S FOR NO REASON
EXCEPT TO BE JUDGED BY A BUNCH
OF PEOPLE I DON'T EVEN KNOW?
IT JUST SEEMS LIKE IT'S TOO MUCH
PRESSURE, THAT, YOU KNOW,
IT'S TAKING THINGS TOO
SERIOUSLY.
LUCKY: ELIZABETH, YOU TAKE
YOUR ART VERY SERIOUSLY.
I KNOW YOU DO.
ELIZABETH: WELL, MAYBE I DO,
BUT --
OK, FOR INSTANCE, THAT SONG
YOU WROTE FOR ME -- WOULD
YOU WANT TO GET UP ON STAGE
AND SING IT IN THE SCHOOL
AUDITORIUM?
NIKOLAS: WHAT HAPPENED
TO YOU?
HUH?
YOU USED TO HAVE AT LEAST
A LITTLE BIT OF PRIDE
IN YOURSELF.
WHAT IS IT EXACTLY YOU THINK I'M
SO AFRAID TO ASK YOU FOR,
KATHERINE?
KATHERINE: MY SILENCE.
NIKOLAS: I SEE.
SO, YOU'VE BEEN STANDING OUT
HERE IN THE FREEZING COLD
FOR GOD KNOWS HOW LONG JUST
TO THREATEN ME?
HUH?
THAT YOU'LL TELL THE WORLD I'M
STEFAN CASSADINE'S SON UNLESS
I WHAT -- HELP YOU HURT HIM?
HELP YOU PUNISH HIM
AND MY MOTHER?
HAVE SEX WITH YOU?
KATHERINE: I ONLY WANT
YOU TO KNOW THAT I HAVE
NO INTENTION OF TELLING ANYONE.
NIKOLAS: JUST LIKE YOU HAD
NO INTENTION OF TELLING ME,
RIGHT?
YOU KNOW WHAT?
I DON'T CARE.
I'M GLAD I KNOW.
YOU CAN TELL THE WHOLE WORLD.
IT DOESN'T MATTER TO ME.
KATHERINE: I DOUBT STEFAN
FEELS THAT WAY.
NIKOLAS: WHAT, YOU THINK THAT
HE ONLY WANTS TO HOLD
ON TO THE CASSADINE FORTUNE?
NO.
NO, HE'S CONCERNED FOR ME.
HE'S CONCERNED WHAT
MY GRANDMOTHER, YOUR GOOD
FRIEND, WOULD DO TO ME.
KATHERINE: I THINK HE'S
MISTAKEN.
I BELIEVE THAT HELENA LOVES YOU.
BUT I'M NOT ABOUT TO TAKE
A CHANCE WITH YOUR LIFE,
SO IF HELENA FINDS OUT,
YOU'LL KNOW IT DID NOT COME
FROM ME.
NIKOLAS: SHOULD I FEEL DEEPLY
MOVED THAT AT LEAST FOR THIS
AFTERNOON YOU DON'T WANT ME
DEAD?
KATHERINE: WE NEVER HAD
A CHANCE.
I SHOULD HAVE SEEN IT.
MAYBE I DID.
THERE WAS TOO MUCH AGAINST US --
MY HISTORY WITH STEFAN, OUR AGE
DIFFERENCE.
BUT I HAVE NO EXPECTATIONS NOW.
ALL I WANT, ALL I HOPE FOR IS
THAT WHEN YOU LOOK BACK AT THIS,
YOU'LL UNDERSTAND AND YOU'LL
ALWAYS THINK OF ME AS SOMEONE
WHO CARED ABOUT YOU.
GOT A NEW PRODUCT HERE,
AND ALL I WANNA DO
IS WASH YOUR HAIR. HI !

WHAT THEY'RE SAYING IS
ONLY ALKA-SELTZER PLUS
HAS THE POWER OF EFFERVESCENCE.
IT RUSHES MEDICINE
TO BREAK UP YOUR WORST COLD
SYMPTOMS
SO YOU FEEL BETTER. FAST.

IMPROVED HUGGIES

MY SON PLAYS FOOTBALL.
ON THURSDAYS, I GO STRAIGHT
FROM WORK TO HIS GAME.
ON THOSE DAYS, I WEAR FLATS.
THEY'RE COMFORTABLE,
AND I LIKE TO BE READY
FOR ANYTHING.
I MEAN, THIS IS NOT THE PROS,
YOU KNOW.
PARENTS HAVE TO PITCH IN.
FLATS LET ME
GET REALLY INVOLVED.
I THINK
MY SON APPRECIATES THAT.
SO, LIFE GIVES YOU
LOTS TO TACKLE.
OUR FLATS CAN TAKE IT,
AND WITH SO MANY TO CHOOSE FROM,
PAYLESS IS THE PLACE.
ü DOESN'T IT FEEL GOOD
PAYLESS üü
ELIZABETH: YOU THINK I'M
A COWARD.
YOU THINK I'M AFRAID TO JUST GO
FOR IT.
LUCKY: NO, I DON'T.
LOOK, I UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING
YOU'RE SAYING.
SOMETIMES, YOU KNOW, I DO
DAYDREAM ABOUT SINGING
FOR AN AUDIENCE.
BUT THAT SONG I WROTE FOR YOU --
I CAN'T IMAGINE SINGING THAT
FOR ANYBODY BUT YOU.
ELIZABETH: EXACTLY. SO --
LUCKY: HERE'S THE THING --
I ONLY HAVE THE VOICE I HAVE.
I MEAN, I COULD TAKE VOICE
LESSONS TILL I'M 40.
NOBODY'S EVER GOING TO PAY ME
TO SING OPERA OR EVEN OLD
CAPTAIN AND TENNILLE SONGS
AT WEDDINGS.
YOU'RE DIFFERENT.
YOU HAVE THIS TALENT.
AND YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT
YOU CAN DO, ELIZABETH.
I MEAN, DON'T YOU WANT TO --
DON'T YOU WANT TO SEE HOW FAR
YOU CAN GO?
I MEAN, NEVER MIND PLEASING
ANYBODY ELSE.
JUST FORGET THAT, OK?
I MEAN, DON'T YOU WANT TO LEARN
MORE THINGS, NEW THINGS,
PLEASE YOURSELF MORE?
ELIZABETH: WELL, WHEN YOU PUT
IT LIKE THAT, IT MAKES SENSE.
SURE, THERE'S LOTS OF THINGS
I DON'T KNOW THAT I'D LIKE
TO LEARN.
LUCKY: ALL RIGHT.
I THINK YOU SHOULD COME WITH ME
TO THE GUIDANCE COUNSELOR'S
OFFICE, TAKE A LOOK AT SOME
OF THOSE CATALOGS.
YOU'D BE VERY INSPIRED.
ELIZABETH: THE STUDENTS' WORK
IS REALLY THAT GOOD?
LUCKY: NO, IT STINKS.
THAT'LL INSPIRE YOU.
MIKE: HEY, LUCKY.
LUCKY: MIKE.
MIKE: HOW ARE YOU?
LUCKY: GOOD.
MIKE: I THOUGHT YOU MUST HAVE
QUIT OR MOVED AWAY.
LUCKY: FROM THE MOTORCYCLE
SHOP?
MIKE: YEAH.
LUCKY: DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT
RENTING MY ROOM OUT.
MIKE: WELL, I GUESS I'M
EARLY.
I'M SUPPOSED TO BE MEETING
SONNY.
LUCKY: HERE?
MIKE: YEAH.
LUCKY: GREAT.
HE OWES ME MONEY, SO HE'S
PLAYING RIGHT INTO MY HANDS.
EDWARD: WHAT'S THAT?
NED: TAKE A LOOK.
EDWARD: WHY SHOULD I?
NED: JUST WATCH.
ü IT'S LONG AFTER MIDNIGHT
YOU KNOW I CAN'T SLEEP
I'M TOSSIN' AND TURNIN'
AND TWISTIN' THE SHEETS ü
EDWARD: WHEN IS THIS FROM?
NED: A FEW NIGHT AGO.
NOW, WOULD YOU SAY THAT
THEY SEEM TO BE HAPPY TO HAVE ME
BACK?
WOULD YOU SAY THAT I SEEM TO BE
HAPPY TO BE THERE?
EDWARD: OH, NED,
WOULD YOU STOP WASTING MY TIME?
NED: WOULD YOU STOP WASTING
MY LIFE?
EDWARD: DON'T GET SMART
WITH ME.
NOW, LOOK -- WITH NO TRAINING
AND NO EXPERIENCE AND,
BY YOUR STATEMENT, NO PARTICULAR
INCLINATION FOR THE JOB, I MADE
YOU C.E.O. OF A FORTUNE 500
COMPANY, FOR WHICH YOU ARE
LAVISHLY RECOMPENSED.
AND ALL I'VE EVER ASKED
IN RETURN IS YOUR LOYALTY.
NED: AND WHEN HAVE YOU NOT
HAD IT?
EDWARD: OH, GOD.
NED: NAME ONE TIME -- ONE
TIME -- WHEN E.L.Q. HAS SUFFERED
BECAUSE OF MY LOWLY,
INTERMITTENT SINGING CAREER.
EDWARD: NO, NO, NO, NO.
THE DAMAGE IS MORE DIFFUSE THAN
THAT, NED.
IT MAKES YOU LOOK FRIVOLOUS,
MAKES YOU LOOK LIKE
A LIGHTWEIGHT.
YOU KNOW, LIKE -- LIKE
A POLITICIAN WHO PLAYS
THE SAXOPHONE OR A MOVIE STAR
WHO WRITES POETRY.
SEE, IF THEY COULD DO ONE THING,
WE MIGHT ASSUME THAT
THEY WOULDN'T BE DOING
THE OTHER.
NED: BE CAREFUL.
IF I HAD TO CHOOSE, WHAT MAKES
YOU THINK I'LL PICK E.L.Q.?
I WALKED AWAY BEFORE.
I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT YOU HAD
YOUR FILL OF GROVELING THEN,
OR HAVE YOU SUPPRESSED
THE MEMORY?
EDWARD: NO, IT'S NOT THE SAME
SITUATION, THOUGH.
NED: WHY NOT?
EDWARD: NO, NOT AT ALL.
YOU SEE, NOW WE HAVE A VERY
CAPABLE SECOND IN COMMAND
IN PLACE.
NED: JUNIOR?
TRY 32nd IN COMMAND.
EDWARD: YOU KNOW,
NED, THAT'S A VERY DEMEANING
NICKNAME THAT YOU CALL HIM BY.
I DON'T THINK HE LIKES IT.
I KNOW I DON'T.
NED: STOP!
ALL RIGHT, JUST STOP RIGHT
THERE.
I MEAN, DO YOU HONESTLY BELIEVE
THAT INCITING RIVALRIES IS
REALLY GOING TO IMPROVE ANYONE'S
PERFORMANCE?
I MEAN, IT'S EXACTLY WHAT DROVE
JUSTUS AWAY.
EDWARD: NO, YOU ARE WHAT
DROVE JUSTUS AWAY, DAMN YOU --
YOU AND YOUR PETTY JEALOUSY.
HE IS AS MUCH MY GRANDSON
AS YOU ARE, AND IT BROKE
MY HEART.
A.J.: TELL YOU WHAT -- I CAN
THINK OF NO GOOD REASON TO WALK
INTO THIS.
EDWARD: A.J., DID YOU TAKE
CARE OF THAT BUSINESS
WE DISCUSSED?
A.J.: OH, YES.
EDWARD: AND WHAT WAS
THE REACTION?
A.J.: NOT MUCH.
NED: SO, DO YOU FEEL LIKE
A REAL MAN NOW, JUNIOR,
DROPPING THAT COURT ORDER LIKE
A BOMB ON YOUR BROTHER AND THEN
WALKING AWAY IN ONE PIECE?
EDWARD: I DIDN'T TELL HIM.
A.J.: WHAT'S UP, NED?
SPIES AT THE COURTHOUSE?
A LITTLE NERVOUS, ARE YOU?
NED: DON'T WORRY.
JASON WON'T WASTE HIS TIME
TRYING TO BREAK YOUR NECK.
HE'LL JUST HAVE HIS LAWYERS
BREAK YOUR COURT ORDER.
A.J.: WELL, I'M SURE WE COULD
PROBABLY OUTMANEUVER HIM.
NED: IS THAT WHAT YOU THOUGHT
ABOUT THE PORT COMMISSION, TOO?
I JUST CAME BACK FROM THERE,
AND, YES, THANKS TO ME,
YOUR PERMITS ARE PENDING.
AND IF IT WASN'T FOR THE AMOUNT
OF MONEY THAT WE WOULD HAVE
ENDED UP LOSING, I WOULD HAVE
HAPPILY LET YOU FALL FLAT
ON YOUR FACE.
A.J.: YEAH, WELL, THE PORT
COMMISSION WAS MY NEXT STOP,
NED.
NED: LOOK, JUNIOR, IF YOU'RE
A LITTLE TOO BUSY BEING
A FULL-TIME NONFATHER TO A KID
SOMEONE ELSE IS RAISING,
MAYBE I OUGHT TO TAKE BACK THIS
DOCKS RENOVATION PROJECT
FROM YOU.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
A.J.: HANDS OFF.
HANDS OFF.
SO, YOU CAUGHT ME NOSING UP
TO A DEADLINE.
BIG DEAL.
NED: WAIT A MINUTE.
AM I IN TROUBLE HERE?
I MEAN, ARE YOU GOING TO RECOVER
YOUR MEMORY FROM YET ANOTHER
DRUNKEN BLACKOUT AND REALIZE
THAT MY CAR IS YOURS, NOT MINE?
DO I HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT
MY WARDROBE NOW?
MY TRAIL BIKE?
MY OFFICE?
EDWARD: YOU KNOW,
A.J., IT'S PERFECTLY
UNDERSTANDABLE THAT YOU MIGHT BE
A BIT OFF YOUR GAME
AT THE MOMENT.
BUT YOU HAVE TO KNOW HOW VERY
IMPORTANT THE TIMELY COMPLETION
OF THE DOCKS RENOVATION IS.
NOW, I KNOW THAT YOU ARE GOING
TO HANDLE IT BEAUTIFULLY.
IN FACT, IN KEEPING
WITH THE PHILOSOPHY OF TURNING
OVER THE BIGGEST JOB
TO THE BUSIEST MAN IN SIGHT,
I WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO HANDLE
THE SALE OF GUTHRIE
TECHNOLOGIES.
IT SEEMS TO HAVE STALLED
UNACCOUNTABLY.
I'M SURE THAT NED WILL FILL
YOU IN ON THE DETAILS.
A.J.: WELL, NED, DO YOU HAVE
ALL THE PAPERWORK, OR SHALL
I HAVE YOUR SECRETARY RESURRECT
IT FROM YOUR URGENT FILE
FROM BEFORE YOUR LAST SINGING
ENGAGEMENT?
NED: THAT VOTE OF CONFIDENCE
YOU THINK YOU JUST HEARD WAS
ANYTHING BUT.
YOU SEE, THAT'S WHY HE HAS
YOU PANTING AFTER THAT CARROT
ON THE STICK -- NAMELY MY JOB --
SO YOU'LL HAPPILY HAND OVER
YOUR FIRST-BORN.
BUT HE'S ALSO TERRIFIED.
YOU SEE, HE'S TERRIFIED THAT
IF I QUIT THAT I WON'T BE THERE
TO CLEAN UP AFTER YOU
WITH THE PORT COMMISSION,
GUTHRIE TECHNOLOGY, OR ANY OTHER
BONE HE MIGHT THROW AT YOU.
AND THAT'S WHY HE'S INCITING
THIS RIVALRY.
HE WANTS ME TO FIGHT FOR MY JOB.
BUT GUESS WHAT, GRANDFATHER.
I AM, SHALL WE SAY,
INSUFFICIENTLY MOTIVATED.
YOU WANT ME GONE?
YOU DON'T HAVE TO WAIT TILL
MICHAEL ARRIVES IN THIS HOUSE
OR YOU'RE KNEE-DEEP IN COURT
ORDERS OR UNTIL A.J. FINALLY
GROWS UP -- WHICHEVER COMES
FIRST.
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS JUST SAY
IT RIGHT NOW.
EDWARD: I'D SAY
CONGRATULATIONS ARE IN ORDER.
A.J.: WOULD YOU?
EDWARD: MM-HMM.
YOU SEE, EACH IN THEIR OWN
SEPARATE WAYS, YOUR COUSIN
AND YOUR BROTHER HAVE TORMENTED
YOU ALL OF YOUR LIFE.
BUT NOW YOU HAVE THEM
ON THE ROPES.
SO YOU HAVE MY PERMISSION
TO GLOAT.
JASON: CARLY KNEW THIS WAS
COMING.
SONNY: KNOWING IT AND BEING
COURT ORDERED ARE TWO DIFFERENT
THINGS.
WHERE IS SHE?
JASON: SHE'S PICKING OUT
FURNITURE AND STUFF FOR ACROSS
THE HALL.
SONNY: SMART.
JASON: YEAH, WELL, I JUST
FIGURE THE BEST THING IS TO KEEP
HER FOCUSED ON THE FUTURE.
SONNY: ALL I'M SAYING IS BE
PREPARED FOR HER TO BE A.J.'S
NEXT STOP.
ISN'T THAT HIS M.O.?
WHEN SHE WAS IN THE MENTAL
HOSPITAL, DIDN'T HE WORK
OVERTIME TO MAKE SURE SHE PUSHED
THE PANIC BUTTON?
ISN'T THAT HOW SHE GOT
INTO FERNCLIFF IN THE FIRST
PLACE?
WELL, ALL I'M SAYING IS HE'S
GOING TO USE THAT STRATEGY THIS
TIME, TOO.
JASON: THIS DOESN'T HAVE
TO BE A PROBLEM.
CARLY IS A FIGHTER.
SONNY: WELL, I KNOW.
I KNOW.
I BELIEVE THAT.
BUT ISN'T THE TRICKY THING
KNOWING HOW SHE'S GOING TO FIGHT
AND WITH WHO?
CARLY: WAIT TILL YOU SEE
THE DINING ROOM SET I PICKED
OUT.
OH, IT'S --
HI, SONNY.
SONNY: I BET IT'S A DOOZY.
CARLY: IT'S GORGEOUS.
I DO NEED HELP WITH THE CARPETS,
THOUGH.
AND I GOT US A BED.
BEDS.
I GOT US EACH A BED.
SONNY: I'M GOING TO MAKE SOME
LUNCH -- EACH A LUNCH.
CARLY: OOH.
OK, LISTEN.
DO WE WANT, LIKE, A TRULY
GORGEOUS AREA RUG OR
WALL-TO-WALL?
AND THE ANSWER IS MORE IMPORTANT
THAN YOU THINK.
JASON: A.J. WAS HERE.
CARLY: WHAT DID HE WANT?
JASON: TO GIVE ME AND MICHAEL
A BLOOD TEST.
CARLY: OK.
WE HAVE TWO CHOICES.
WE EITHER RUN, OR WE LET THEM
TAKE MICHAEL.
HERE'S A NEW TWIST
ON HEAT STYLING.
NOW ALL YOU DO
TO SHAPE THOSE CURLS...
AND HOLD THOSE WAVES...
WILL ACTUALLY
MAKE YOUR HAIR HEALTHIER.

BUT NOW THERE'S DELICIOUS
NEW SOFTCHEWS TABLETS
FROM TRIAMINIC

EASY TO GIVE,

COME IN 3 DELICIOUS FORMULAS.
FOR...
YEAH.
BETTER?
JASON: CARLY, YOU'RE NOT
THINKING STRAIGHT.
CARLY: NO, JASON, YOU'RE NOT
THINKING STRAIGHT.
WE BOTH KNOW WHAT THE RESULTS
OF THIS BLOOD TEST ARE GOING
TO BE.
JASON: WHO SAYS I'M EVEN
GOING TO TAKE IT?
CARLY: THIS DOES.
JASON: THIS IS MY BLOOD, OK?
THEY CAN'T MAKE ME GIVE IT AWAY
ON DEMAND.
CARLY: THAT'S GOING TO BE
YOUR DEFENSE?
JASON: I DON'T KNOW YET.
I HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO MEET
WITH A LAWYER.
BUT THIS IS INVASION OF PRIVACY.
I MEAN, EVERYTHING THEY COULD
WANT TO KNOW ABOUT MY BLOOD
OR MICHAEL'S BLOOD IS ON RECORD
AT G.H., AND OBVIOUSLY
A.J. KNOWS THAT'S ALL LEGALLY
CONFIDENTIAL.
THAT'S WHY HE'S COMING AFTER ME.
CARLY: THAT'S TRUE.
JASON: YEAH, IT'S TRUE,
AND HE KNOWS I'M GOING
TO FIGHT IT.
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT HE'S HOPING
WILL HAPPEN -- THAT YOU'RE GOING
TO GET CRAZY ENOUGH TO BARGAIN
WITH HIM AND THE OLD MAN
FOR MICHAEL AND YOU'RE GOING
TO DO SOMETHING STUPID THAT
HE CAN USE AGAINST US.
CARLY: LOOK, IF WE LEAVE IT
ALL UP TO A JUDGE --
JASON: CARLY, HOLD ON,
ALL RIGHT?
WE'RE NOT THERE YET.
I TOLD YOU THAT THIS IS GOING
TO BE A LONG FIGHT AND WE'RE
ONLY AT THE BEGINNING.
I CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE YOU CAVE.
CARLY: AM I CAVING?
DO I LOOK LIKE I'M CAVING HERE?
JASON: YES.
I ALREADY WARNED YOU.
A.J. WARNED YOU.
WE WERE READY FOR THIS.
CARLY: EXCUSE ME.
KNOWING THE QUARTERMAINES ARE
COMING AFTER ME AND BEING READY
FOR THEM ARE NOT THE SAME THING,
JASON.
THESE GUYS HAVE MONEY,
THEY'VE GOT POWER, AND THEY'RE
NOT AFRAID TO USE IT.
JASON: HEY, SO DO I.
HAVEN'T I PROVED THAT TO YOU?
HAVEN'T I PROVED THAT TO YOU?
CARLY: YES.
JASON: YOU'RE DOING EXACTLY
WHAT THEY WANT YOU TO DO RIGHT
NOW.
CARLY: AM I ALLOWED TO BE
UPSET FOR FIVE MINUTES?
JASON: YES, YOU'RE ALLOWED
TO BE UPSET, OK?
BUT I'M GOING TO WARN YOU.
A.J. IS GOING TO STALK YOU.
HE'S GOING TO POP OUT
FROM BEHIND SOME ORIENTAL RUG
THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT, AND WHAT
ARE YOU GOING TO DO, CARLY?
CARLY: SPIT IN HIS FACE.
JASON: NO, NO, NO, NO.
YOU ARE GOING TO TELL HIM CALMLY
THAT IT'S ALL IN THE LAWYERS'
HANDS.
HAVE I EVER LET YOU AND MICHAEL
DOWN?
CARLY: NEVER.
JASON: OK?
CARLY: OK.
SONNY: ALL RIGHT, THIS IS
THE BALANCE OF WHAT I OWE YOU.
A LITTLE EXTRA FOR DOING SUCH
A NICE, QUICK, CLEAN JOB OF IT.
MIKE: A NICE, QUICK,
CLEAN JOB OF WHAT?
LUCKY: SONNY SENT ME
TO CANADA.
SONNY: TO ICE A COUPLE POLAR
BEARS.
YOU WANT TO GO TO CANADA?
BECAUSE I'LL PAY YOU NOT TO COME
BACK.
LUCKY: DOES JASON STILL WANT
ME WORKING AT THE MOTORCYCLE
SHOP?
SONNY: DID HE SAY OTHERWISE?
LUCKY: I BETTER GET GOING.
THANKS, MAN.
SONNY: THANK YOU.
AH, AH.
MIKE: SO,
YOU'RE SENDING CHILDREN
ON ERRANDS NOW?
SONNY: GIVE ME A BREAK,
WILL YOU?
WHAT IF I AM?
I GOT NO ERRANDS ANY DOG,
BOY, OR SWEET OLD LADY WOULDN'T
BE PERFECTLY SAFE DOING.
THE ONLY BUSINESS I'M IN NOW IS
THE COFFEE BUSINESS.
MIKE: COFFEE?
SONNY: YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.
MIKE: SINCE WHEN?
SONNY: SINCE I DECIDED.
I DRINK THE STUFF, I LIKE
THE SMELL OF IT, I CAN SPELL IT.
WHY NOT?
MAYBE THEY'LL BE CALLING
YOU MOCHA MIKE.
MIKE: "MOCHA MIKE."
SONNY: YEAH, YEAH.
MIKE: YEAH, WELL,
SOMEHOW I DON'T THINK I'LL --
I WON'T BE HOLDING MY BREATH.
SONNY: YOU CALLING ME A LIAR?
BECAUSE I DON'T LIKE TO HAVE
LUNCH WITH PEOPLE WHO CALL ME
A LIAR.
MIKE: THEN I GET THE FEELING
THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE A WHOLE
LOT OF PEOPLE SITTING ACROSS
THE TABLE FROM YOU.
SONNY: I'M JUST GIVING
YOU WHAT YOU ALWAYS WANTED,
POP -- A SON YOU CAN BRAG ABOUT
TO YOUR FRIENDS AT THE BAR.
FROM NOW ON, LATTES ARE MY LIFE.
MIKE: LATTES?
SONNY: YES.
YOU LIKE THAT?
MIKE: LATTES.
SONNY: UH-HUH.

MONICA: A COURT ORDER.
EDWARD: IS THERE AN ECHO
IN HERE?
A.J.: IT WAS THE LOGICAL NEXT
MOVE, MOM.
MONICA: WHAT DID JASON SAY?
A.J.: WHAT DOES JASON EVER
SAY?
MONICA: WELL, WAS ROBIN --
NO, ROBIN COULDN'T BE THERE.
SHE'S GONE.
SO HE ONLY HAS THAT MISERABLE --
EDWARD: SO WHAT SHOULD WE DO?
SHOULD WE SEND JASON A SYMPATHY
CARD OR SOME FLOWERS?
MONICA: I'M NOT GOING TO BE
DOING ANY GLOATING, EDWARD.
THAT'S YOUR DEPARTMENT.
EDWARD: SO YOU'RE GOING
TO BECOME A NAYSAYER, HUH?
HAVING YOUR GRANDSON IN THIS
HOUSE MEANS NOTHING TO YOU, HMM?
MONICA: THIS IS NOT DIAPERS
INTO.
EDWARD: YOU KNOW, THIS IS
JUST APPALLING.
WHY THIS YOUNG MAN HAS NOT TAKEN
A GUN TO ALL OF YOU BEFORE THIS
I'LL NEVER UNDERSTAND.
NOW, TODAY HE BECAME A MAN.
HE STOOD BEFORE GOD AND THE LAW
TO CLAIM HIS CHILD.
THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT DAY
OF HIS LIFE, AND YOU'RE JUST
WORRIED ABOUT HOW JASON FEELS.
GOD!
MONICA: A.J. --
A.J.: BEFORE YOU SAY
ANYTHING, I UNDERSTAND.
MONICA: YOU DO?
A.J.: SURE.
JASON'S YOUR SON, TOO.
I'M NOT ASKING YOU TO TAKE
SIDES.
I TAKE THAT BACK.
OF COURSE I AM.
I'M JUST SAYING YOU DON'T HAVE
TO BE HAPPY ABOUT IT.
MONICA: WELL, THANK YOU.
A.J.: WHICH IS NOT TO SAY
THAT I'VE FORGOTTEN THE MANY
TIMES I WANTED YOU TO BE HAPPY
FOR ME AND YOU COULDN'T.
SONNY: WHY ARE YOU GIVING ME
SUCH A HARD TIME?
MIKE: WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT
COFFEE?
SONNY: EXCUSE ME?
MIKE: WELL -- YEAH, COFFEE.
YOU KNOW HOW TO TASTE IT, MAYBE.
MAKE IT, SURE.
BUT WHAT ABOUT -- WHAT ABOUT
GROWING IT, SHIPPING IT,
SELLING IT?
SONNY: DID COL. SANDERS KNOW
HOW TO HATCH AN EGG?
MIKE: YEAH.
YEAH, PROBABLY.
SONNY: OK, FINE.
SO JASON AND I AREN'T
THE MICROMANAGING TYPE.
WE'LL JUST -- WE'LL HIRE GOOD
PEOPLE.
MIKE: BUT THAT'S
THE PROBLEM -- IT'S THAT PEOPLE
ALREADY THINK THEY KNOW WHAT
TYPE YOU ARE AND WHAT KIND
OF PEOPLE YOU HIRE.
SONNY: WHAT PEOPLE?
WHAT DO I CARE WHAT
JOHN Q. PUBLIC THINKS, ANYWAY?
MIKE: ALL RIGHT.
TAKE MORENO, FOR INSTANCE.
BE YOU AS PURE AS THE DRIVEN
FOAM ON YOUR CAPPUCCINO,
YOU THINK HE'S GOING TO BUY
INTO THAT?
SONNY: SO WHAT?
IF MORENO OR ANYBODY ELSE
IN THE TOWN CAN'T CHANGE
WITH THE TIMES, IF THEY CAN'T
LIVE AND LET LIVE WHEN A GUY'S
JUST TRYING TO MANAGE HIS COFFEE
SHOP, THEN THAT'S THEIR OWN
FAULT.
I'M NOT GOING TO START ANYTHING.
MIKE: I DON'T LIKE THE SOUND
OF THAT.
I MEAN, I DON'T LIKE THAT
AT ALL.
SONNY: YOU KNOW WHAT?
BECAUSE YOU -- YOU'RE A PAIN.
YOU CAN'T BE CONTENT.
YOU'RE INCAPABLE.
WHAT IS YOUR FATHERLY ADVICE?
YOU WANT I SHOULD LIVE A LIFE
OF CRIME, IS THAT IT?
HUH?
IS THAT YOUR ADVICE?
TOUGH.
YOU AND EVERYBODY ELSE IN THIS
TOWN BETTER GET USED TO SEEING
MY FACE OUT IN PUBLIC.
AND I'M NOT JUST TALKING ABOUT,
YOU KNOW, IN DARK CORNERS
OF PRIVATE CLUBS AND
IN NEWSPAPER HEADLINES.
MIKE: I DON'T BELIEVE IT.
SONNY CORINTHOS ACTUALLY CARES
WHAT PEOPLE THINK?
STEFAN: AND IN YOUR OPINION,
KATHERINE WAS SINCERE?
NIKOLAS: WELL, MY TRACK
RECORD OF KNOWING WHEN KATHERINE
IS SINCERE COULD BE BETTER.
BUT, YEAH, I THOUGHT
SHE MEANT IT.
STEFAN: AND HER RESOLVE
TO KEEP SILENT CAN BE TRUSTED?
NIKOLAS: IF ANYTHING ABOUT
HER CAN.
SHE'S TRYING VERY HARD
TO PRESENT HERSELF AS AN HONEST,
DECENT HUMAN BEING AGAIN.
AND CONVINCING ME SEEMS LESS
IMPORTANT THAN BELIEVING IT
HERSELF.
STEFAN: THAT MAY BE THE END
OF IT, THEN, IF SHE KEEPS
HER WORD.
AND ANYONE ELSE WHO'S LEARNED
THE SECRET CAN PERHAPS BE
BARGAINED WITH.
IN WHICH CASE, WOULD
YOU RECONSIDER?
NIKOLAS: WHAT?
STEFAN: REMAINING THE PRINCE
OF THE CASSADINES.
MAYBE THIS IS THE HAIRCOLOR
THAT'LL MAKE YOU LIKE
THE PICTURE
ON YOUR DRIVER'S LICENSE.
NEW NICE 'N EASY HAS THE COLOR
AND CONDITIONERS
TRAVELING TOGETHER
DEEP INSIDE YOUR HAIR.
SO YOU GET COLOR
THAT LOOKS AND FEELS
SO HEALTHY, SO RADIANT.
YOU WON'T JUST SEE IT
YOU'LL FEEL IT.
YOU KNOW THAT FEELING YOU GET
WHEN YOU WASH YOUR HAIR
WITH HERBAL ESSENCES SHAMPOO?
( woman moaning and laughing )
WELL, IMAGINE HAVING
THAT FEELING
ALL OVER YOUR BODY.
OH, YEAH!
HERBAL ESSENCES BODY WASH
FROM CLAIROL.
NEW...
BOTH OF THESE CONTAINERS CAN GO
INTO THE MICROWAVE.
ONE OF THEM
DOESN'T ALWAYS MAKE IT.
NEW...
GREAT PARTY LEFTOVERS ?
SEND YOUR GUESTS HOME WITH
THE MORE AFFORDABLE CONTAINER.
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.
||@L?
THREE WOMEN.
THREE PREGNANCY TESTS.
SHE SAW A LINE.
SHE SAW TWO LINES.
SHE SAW A PLUS SIGN.
WITH FACT PLUS ONE STEP
THE PLUS/MINUS SIGNS...
ARE SO EASY TO READ,
THEY'RE UNMISTAKABLE.
OH, BOY... OR GIRL.
FACT PLUS.
NIKOLAS: YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL
ABOUT THIS.
STEFAN: I KNOW WHAT YOU TOLD
ME WHEN THE QUESTION FIRST
AROSE, BUT YOU'VE HAD TIME
TO THINK ABOUT IT SINCE THEN.
SURELY YOU'VE HAD SECOND
THOUGHTS.
ARE THERE NOT ELEMENTS
OF THE LIFE YOU LED THAT
YOU DON'T REJECT?
NIKOLAS: WELL, YEAH,
OF COURSE THERE ARE.
I MAY NOT LOVE THE POMP
AND CIRCUMSTANCE, BUT
I UNDERSTAND THE TRADITIONS,
WHAT HAVING A TITLE TO HAND DOWN
DOES FOR US.
IT GIVES US UNITY, STRUCTURE,
A RALLYING POINT OTHER FAMILIES
DON'T HAVE.
AND I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS WILL
THREATEN THAT, AND I KNOW THAT'S
MY DOING.
MAYBE I EVEN WISH THERE WERE
A PRINCE CASSADINE.
MAYBE I'LL EVEN MISS HIM.
BUT DON'T ASK ME TO BE HIM,
FATHER.
STEFAN: ALL RIGHT.
NIKOLAS: I'M SORRY.
STEFAN: SO AM I.
BUT AT T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T THE
I FEAR YOU'RE ABOUT TO DISCOVER
ANOTHER OF MY SECRETS -- THAT
EVERYTHING YOU DO SEEMS
PERILOUSLY CLOSE TO PERFECT
IN MY EYES.
I'VE COMPLETED ALL THE TASKS
PREPARATORY TO AN ORDERLY
DISMANTLING OF THE FAMILY
HOLDINGS, LEST CHAOS
OVERTAKE US.
OF COURSE, CHAOS MAY ENSUE
IN SPITE OF US.
THE LEGACY HAS NEVER BEEN
CHALLENGED.
THERE IS NO WAY TO PREDICT
THE OUTCOME.
ALL THAT REMAINS NOW IS
FOR YOU TO DECIDE WHAT,
IF ANYTHING, YOU WOULD LIKE
TO DO WITH THE FAMILY FORTUNE
WHILE YOU STILL CONTROL IT.
IF YOU'VE HAD ANY CHARITIES,
GIFTS, EVEN LUXURIES IN MIND,
NOW IS THE TIME.
SONNY: I'M TIRED OF BEING
DUMPED ON.
I'M TIRED OF HEARING MY MONEY IS
DIRTY, THAT I'M NOT GOOD ENOUGH
TO GIVE A WING TO THE HOSPITAL.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT?
G.H. HAD TO GIVE A BACHELOR
AUCTION LIKE SOME CHEESY VEGAS
THING -- YOU KNOW WHAT I'M
SAYING? -- JUST TO GET THE TASTE
OF THE NURSES BALL OUT
OF THEIR MOUTHS BECAUSE GOD
FORBID MY NAME IS ASSOCIATED
WITH ANY GOOD DEED.
MIKE: LOOK, I'M -- I'M
SYMPATHIZING WITH YOU, MICHAEL.
BUT YOU --
SONNY: BUT WHAT?
BUT WHAT?
MIKE: BUT ISN'T THIS
THE PRICE YOU HAVE TO PAY?
SONNY: PAY FOR WHAT?
YOU KNOW, WHAT THE HELL --
MIKE: FOR YOUR -- LISTEN.
FOR YOUR UNIQUE TAX STATUS,
LET'S SAY.
SONNY: I PAY TAXES, DON'T I?
SEE, THAT'S EXACTLY THE KIND
OF ATTITUDE I AM SICK OF.
I'VE BEEN CALLED A RACKETEER,
A GANGSTER, EVEN A MURDERER
TO MY FACE
WHEN I HAVEN'T DONE NOTHING THAT
THE CASSADINES AND THE
QUARTERMAINES AND THE JACKSES
HAVEN'T DONE 10 TIMES AS OFTEN,
AND THEY MADE 10 TIMES MORE
MONEY.
SO NOW I'M GOING TO -- I'M GOING
TO BE SOMETHING I'VE NEVER BEEN
BEFORE --
UNTOUCHABLE.
MIKE: THAT'S GREAT.
AND YOU'LL SHOW THEM
UNTIL MORENO SHOOTS OUT
YOUR WINDOWS AND YOU
IN THE PROCESS JUST LIKE HE DID
TO MAC SCORPIO.
SONNY: ENCOURAGEMENT -- HAVE
YOU EVER HEARD OF THAT
AS SOMETHING THAT A FATHER
OCCASIONALLY GIVES HIS SON?
OR DO YOU JUST WANT ME TO BE
GLAD THAT YOU WALKED OUT ON ME
WHEN I WAS 6?
CARLY: WON'T THAT BE PRETTY,
HONEY?
CLOUDS ON THE CEILING.
AND THEN AT NIGHT, WHEN ALL
THE LIGHTS GO OFF, THERE'S GOING
TO BE STARS THAT COME OUT
AND GLOW JUST LIKE IN THE SKY.
YEAH.
IT'LL BE BEAUTIFUL.
LOOK AT THIS.
LOOK. SEE?
I KNOW IT LOOKS LIKE A CRIB,
YOU SEE, BUT THIS COMES OFF HERE
AND THIS COMES OFF HERE,
AND THEN -- AND THAT'S A BED
FOR WHEN YOU'RE NOT A BABY
ANYMORE.
I DON'T WANT YOU TO WORRY, OK?
I DON'T WANT YOU TO WORRY ABOUT
ANYTHING BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS
GOING TO BE BETTER.
YOU KNOW WHY?
BECAUSE YOUR DADDY'S GOING
TO MAKE SURE OF IT.
WHATEVER YOUR DADDY SAYS HE'S
GOING TO DO, HE ALWAYS,
ALWAYS DOES.
MONICA: YOU HAVE NEVER
BELIEVED THAT WE'VE BEEN
ON YOUR SIDE -- ALAN AND ME.
I KNOW THAT.
A.J.: YOU NEVER WERE.
IT WASN'T ALWAYS YOUR FAULT.
THERE WERE TIMES YOU WANTED
TO BE, AND THEN I WOULD SCREW UP
AND PROVE TO YOU THAT I DIDN'T
DESERVE YOUR TRUST, AND THEN
SOMETIMES --
MONICA: SOMETIMES THE WAY
ALAN AND I TREATED YOU HAD
NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU.
IT HAD TO DO WITH THE WAY
WE FELT ABOUT EACH OTHER
AT THE TIME.
A.J.: ANCIENT HISTORY.
MONICA: NOT SO ANCIENT.
A.J.: GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN,
THEN.
MOM, I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT IT
MEANS A LOT TO ME TO HAVE
YOU AND DAD WITH ME THIS TIME
BECAUSE THIS IS THE TIME THAT IT
COUNTS BECAUSE I'M ABOUT
TO START A NEW LIFE MYSELF
AND A NEW LIFE, LITERALLY --
MY SON'S.
AND I'M GOING TO NEED YOUR HELP
AND YOUR ADVICE AND
YOUR SUPPORT.
BUT MOST OF ALL, MOM, I NEED
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE MY PLACE IN THIS
FAMILY.
AND IF FOR NO OTHER REASON THAN
THAT, I'M ENTITLED TO
YOUR RESPECT.
AND I WILL NOT HAVE MY SON HEAR
ME SPOKEN TO THE WAY NED SPEAKS
TO ME -- EVER.
AND I WILL TAKE STEPS TO MAKE
SURE THAT WON'T HAPPEN.
NOW, AS -- AS FAR AS
YOU AND DAD -- IF YOU GUYS WANT
A RELATIONSHIP WITH MY SON,
I'M THE ONE -- NOT JASON,
NOT CARLY -- WHOSE GOOD SIDE
YOU WANT TO BE ON.
MONICA: JASON.
A.J.: WELL, THERE HE IS,
MY STEALTH BROTHER.
YOU KNOW, YOU ALWAYS SEEM
TO JUST MATERIALIZE.
IT'S A NICE TRIC-- A THIEF'S
TRICK.
JASON: MY LAWYER'S
AT THE COURTHOUSE.
I THOUGHT YOU'D WANT TO KNOW.
A.J.: YEAH? DOING WHAT?
NOT GRANTING YOU A STAY
OF THE COURT ORDER, OR YOU'D BE
FLASHING IT IN MY FACE.
JASON: FILING A REFUSAL
TO COMPLY.
A.J.: I SEE.
A JUDGE WILL JUST SEE IT
AS CONTEMPT OF COURT AND THROW
YOUR BUTT IN JAIL.
JASON: I GUESS WE'LL SEE.
A.J.: JASON, YOU'RE JUST
POSTPONING THE INEVITABLE, MAN.
JASON: IF YOU PEOPLE WANT
A WAR, THAT'S OK WITH ME.
I'VE TAKEN ON WORSE.
BUT LET ME TELL YOU ONE THING --
IF SOMEBODY HAS TO GET HURT,
I CAN PROMISE YOU IT'S NOT GOING
TO BE MICHAEL.
>> STAY TUNED FOR SCENES FROM
THE NEXT "GENERAL HOSPITAL."
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.
m?|?ook what daddy gets.
VO: When you make a SPAMBURGER
hamburger...
DAD: Perfect.
VO: ...watch out.
'Cause it's so good...
DAD: I got it.
VO: ...it's gone.
BABY: (BABY BURP) Gaah...
VO: SPAM. So good...
...it's gone.
SORRY I'M LATE.
I WAS AT MY DOCTOR AND--
OH, DID YOU ASK HER
ABOUT THE THINGS WE'VE BEEN
READING ABOUT MENOPAUSE ?
I DID.
SHE SAID...
IT'S IMPORTANT
TO CONSIDER MENOPAUSE...
AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF ITS
ASSOCIATED ESTROGEN LOSS.
YOU MEAN,
LIKE HOT FLASHES ?
HOT FLASHES
AND NIGHT SWEATS.
BUT OTHER THINGS TOO.
LIKE VAGINAL DRYNESS.
IT CAN INTERFERE WITH INTIMACY.
AND OSTEOPOROSIS.
I KNOW THAT MENOPAUSE...
INCREASES OUR RISK
FOR FRACTURES.
DR. HARTMAN ALSO SAID...
STUDIES SHOW THAT MENOPAUSE
CONTRIBUTES TO HEART DISEASE
IN WOMEN.
ADDITIONAL ONGOING STUDIES
ARE INVESTIGATING...
THE CONNECTION BETWEEN MENOPAUSE
AND ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE,
COLON CANCER, BLINDNESS
AND TOOTH LOSS.
I HAD NO IDEA.
MY DOCTOR AND I DECIDED...
TO STICK WITH THE PROGRAM
WE'VE AGREED ON FOR YEARS.
I SHOULD SPEAK TO MY DOCTOR.
WHEN CONSIDERING MENOPAUSE,
CONSIDER THE ENTIRE BODY
OF EVIDENCE.
SPEAK TO YOUR DOCTOR
ABOUT WHAT YOU CAN DO...
TO HELP PROTECT YOUR HEALTH
DURING AND AFTER MENOPAUSE.
BOBBIE: IT'S RUBY.
AUDREY: HAS SOMETHING
HAPPENED?
NUN: THIS IS A LOT OF MONEY.
LUKE: [GERMAN ACCENT]
MR. CASSADINE WANTS
YOUR FACILITY TO BE THE FINEST
OF ITS KIND.
ALEXIS: I'M GOING TO TAKE
WHAT'S MINE RIGHT NOW!
MONICA: IF YOU LOVE MICHAEL
AS MUCH AS YOU SAY YOU DO,
LET HIM GO.
