NED: CHAMPAGNE, ROSES,
HORS D'OEUVRES --
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
NED: ALEXIS.
HELLO, DARLING.
CHLOE: KISS ME.
NED: AREN'T YOU SUPPOSED
TO BE ALEXIS?
CHLOE: KISS ME RIGHT NOW.
CHLOE: GERTRUDE IS
AT THE HOUSE WITH EDWARD.
WE HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL.
NED: OH, YIKES.
ALEXIS: I'M HERE
FOR MY CONJUGAL VISIT.

NIKOLAS: ELIZABETH.
ELIZABETH, WAIT.

TAMMY: IT'S AN AWFULLY WARM
DAY FOR A RUN, ISN'T IT?
HANNAH: YEAH.
I MEANT TO TURN BACK AT THE END
OF THE DOCKS, BUT I ENDED UP
ALONG THE LAKE.
TAMMY: WOW.
THAT'S A PRETTY GOOD HIKE.
HANNAH: I GUESS SONNY HASN'T
CALLED.
TAMMY: NO.
I THOUGHT YOU WERE WITH HIM
AT THE HOSPITAL.
YOU KNOW, JUAN MADE IT THROUGH
THE NIGHT.
HANNAH: YEAH, I KNOW.
I WAS THERE.
WHATEVER GOOD IT DID SONNY.
TAMMY: WELL, NOBODY EVER SAID
SONNY WAS EASY.
HANNAH: HOW COULD HE SHUT ME
OUT JUST LIKE THAT?
TAMMY: WELL, HONEY,
MAYBE HE JUST NEEDS A LITTLE
ROOM.
HANNAH: WELL, I DON'T KNOW
WHAT SONNY NEEDS RIGHT NOW,
BUT IT SURE ISN'T ME.

BOBBIE: C.D.C. AND --
EMILY: BOBBIE, PLEASE,
WHAT'S HAPPENING?
BOBBIE, PLEASE.
BOBBIE: JUAN'S GOING
IN FOR EMERGENCY SURGERY.
SONNY: BUT HE JUST GOT OUT
OF SURGERY.
BOBBIE: THERE WAS AN INTERNAL
HEMORRHAGE.
EMILY: WHAT, IS HE BLEEDING
TO DEATH?
SONNY: EMILY, THEY'RE GOING
TO HELP HIM.
BOBBIE: WE'RE IN O.R. TWO.
ATTENDANT: OK.
BOBBIE: LET'S GO, LET'S GO.
ATTENDANT: WATCH IT.
BOBBIE: THEY'RE READY FOR US.
EMILY: JUAN, I'M RIGHT HERE.
JUAN, I'M RIGHT HERE FOR YOU.
ATTENDANT: MISS, WE'VE REALLY
GOT TO GO.
BOBBIE: I'LL LET YOU KNOW
AS SOON AS WE KNOW ANYTHING.
EMILY: DO YOU THINK
HE COULD DIE?
SONNY: HE WON'T.
EMILY: THEY SAID HE WAS
GETTING BETTER.
WHAT IF HE CAN'T GO THROUGH
ANOTHER SURGERY?
WHAT IF THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT
THEY'RE DOING?
WHAT IF IT HURTS?
SONNY: YOUR MOTHER DIDN'T
HIRE A BUNCH OF JERKS
IN THE O.R.
THEY KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING.
EMILY: WHAT HAPPENED?
SONNY: THE MACHINES WENT
CRAZY.
THE DOCTORS WERE IN THERE
IN A COUPLE OF SECONDS.
EMILY: THAT'S GOOD, RIGHT?
I MEAN, THAT'S GOOD.
YOU SPENT THE NIGHT?
DID HE WAKE UP?
WAS HE SCARED?
SONNY: HE WON'T REMEMBER
A THING.
EMILY: HE PROBABLY WONDERED
WHERE I WAS.
SONNY: DID JUAN TELL
YOU HE THINKS I'M HIS FATHER?

EMILY: JUAN KNOWS YOU'RE
HIS FATHER.
WHY DON'T YOU JUST ADMIT IT?
SONNY: BECAUSE I'M NOT.
JUAN'S FATHER IS MIGUEL MOREZ.
EMILY: ARE YOU SURE?
SONNY: LILY HAD JUAN WHEN
SHE WAS 14.
HER FATHER MADE HER GIVE HIM UP.
I PROMISED LILY THAT I WOULD
ALWAYS LOOK OUT FOR HIM.
EMILY: THEN WHY ARE
YOU SO MEAN TO HIM?
SONNY: BECAUSE I -- YOU KNOW,
I THOUGHT HE SHOULD BE HOME.
I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT --
EMILY: SONNY, YOU DON'T EVEN
LISTEN TO HIM.
THAT'S WHY HE WAS DOING ALL
THIS.
DO YOU KNOW THAT HE WAS WEARING
A PAGER?
HE WANTED TO GET THE INSIDE
INFORMATION, WHATEVER THAT
MEANS.
LIKE THOSE MORENO PEOPLE WILL
TELL HIM ANYTHING.
HE DOESN'T REALIZE HOW SERIOUS
THIS IS.
IT DOESN'T MATTER TO HIM.
ALL HE WANTED TO DO WAS IMPRESS
YOU, TO MAKE YOU ADMIT THAT
YOU'RE HIS FATHER.
SONNY: WHY DIDN'T HE ASK ME?
EMILY: HE THOUGHT YOU DIDN'T
WANT HIM.
YOU KEPT TRYING TO PUSH HIM AWAY
EVER SINCE HE GAVE YOU THAT
CROSS.
I MEAN, YOU WOULDN'T EVEN LOOK
AT HIM, AND THEN YOU WOULD JUST
SAY, "GET AWAY."
WHAT WAS HE SUPPOSED TO DO?
HE WANTED TO PROVE HIMSELF.
HE THOUGHT YOU WERE ASHAMED
OF HIM.
HE WANTED TO MAKE YOU PROUD.

HANNAH: NO WAY WHAT HAPPENED
TO THAT KID IS SONNY'S FAULT.
TAMMY: WELL, WHY ON EARTH
WOULD HE THINK THAT?
HANNAH: SONNY THINKS HE LET
JUAN DOWN.
I DON'T KNOW.
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT SONNY
THINKS.
TAMMY: WELL, HE PUT HIM UP
IN THIS PLACE.
HE GIVES THE KID CASH.
I MEAN, I THINK THAT'S ABOVE
AND BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY
RIGHT THERE.
I REALLY THINK IT'S A SHAME THAT
THAT KID RAN INTO THE WRONG
PERSON IN AN ALLEY, BUT SONNY'S
GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT.
HANNAH: DID YOU KNOW JUAN IS
LILY'S SON?
TAMMY: LILY?
AS IN SONNY'S WIFE?
GOD REST HER SOUL.
HANNAH: YEAH.
SHE GAVE HIM UP YEARS BEFORE
SHE MET SONNY.
TAMMY: AND NOW THE KID'S BACK
IN TOWN LOOKING FOR HIM.
HANNAH: MM-HMM.
SONNY'S BEEN DOING EVERYTHING
HE CAN TO GET THAT KID TO GO
BACK HOME.
HE COMES FROM A GOOD FAMILY.
I'VE BEEN TRYING TO REACH
HIS FATHER THIS WHOLE TIME.
I MEAN, AT LEAST I'M DOING THAT.
AND THEN LAST NIGHT
AT THE HOSPITAL, SONNY LOOKED
AT ME LIKE I WAS A STRANGER.
TAMMY: WELL, HAS SONNY GOTTEN
ANY REST?
IS HE EATING?
HANNAH: YOU'RE RIGHT.
SONNY HAS TO GO HOME EVENTUALLY.
WOULDN'T IT BE NICE IF SOMETHING
WAS READY FOR HIM TO EAT,
IF SOMEBODY WAS WAITING FOR HIM?
TAMMY: WELL, HANNAH, I DIDN'T
SAY TO GO OVER THERE.
HANNAH: WHY DOES SONNY HAVE
TO GO HOME TO AN EMPTY HOUSE?
TAMMY: I'LL LEAVE
THE LIGHT ON.

ALEXIS: WHEN THE WIFE
AND THE LOVER ARE HAVING
A TRYST, ISN'T IT CUSTOMARY
FOR THE HUSBAND TO BE SOMEPLACE
ELSE?
CHLOE: NO, YOU CAN'T GO
ANYWHERE.
JAX: YOU DON'T WANT TO HAVE
LUNCH?
CHLOE: GERTRUDE IS PROBABLY
WATCHING THE HOUSE THIS VERY
INSTANT WITH A PAIR
OF BINOCULARS.
JAX: FROM THE PORT CHARLES
HOTEL?
NED: TRY THE LIVING ROOM.
JAX: OH.
CHLOE: SHE AND EDWARD ARE
PLANNING SOMETHING, AND THEY ARE
HAVING QUAIL FOR LUNCH.
NED: WE CAN ASSUME THEY KNOW
WE'RE ALL HERE.
JAX: WHICH MEANS I CAN'T
LEAVE YET.
SORRY.
CHLOE: THEY COULD BURST
IN ANY SECOND.
ALEXIS: WELL, AUNT GERTRUDE
WOULDN'T RUSH THROUGH A GOURMET
MEAL, WOULD SHE?
CHLOE: COOK WOULD BE VERY
UPSET.
NED: MAYBE COOK WILL LOCK
HER IN THE REFRIGERATOR.
ALEXIS: ALL RIGHT,
LET'S SEE -- THEY'RE
ON THE ENTREE RIGHT NOW, SO --
JAX: SHOULD WE, LIKE,
SYNCHRONIZE OUR WATCHES?
CHLOE: THEY MAY HAVE A SALAD
COURSE AFTER.
ALEXIS: AND THEN DESSERT.
CHLOE: AND GERTRUDE LOVES
DESSERT.
ALEXIS: SO WHAT ARE
WE WAITING FOR?
NED: YOU TWO KIDS ENJOY
YOURSELVES.
JAX: WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.
NOT SO FAST.
WHAT IF THEY WALK IN AND EDWARD
SEES ME WITH YOUR FIANCEE?
CHLOE: WE NEED A COVER STORY.
JAX: YEAH.
ALEXIS: WELL, TELL THEM THAT
WE'RE PLANNING THE WEDDING.
NED: YEAH.
TELL THEM ANYTHING YOU WANT.
JUST DON'T GO ANYWHERE.
JAX: HEY --
CHLOE: HERE WE ARE AGAIN.
JAX: YES, INDEED.

KATHERINE: NIKOLAS, I AM
SO SORRY ABOUT ALL THIS.
OBVIOUSLY, WE SHOULD HAVE LOCKED
THE DOOR, BUT -- WELL, I MEAN,
NOT THAT I WOULD EXPECT ANYONE
TO BARGE IN LIKE THAT.
ELIZABETH IS GOING TO BE FINE.
SHE KNOWS ABOUT US.
NIKOLAS: SHE'S A FRIEND
OF MINE.
DON'T YOU GET THAT AT ALL?
KATHERINE: THEN SHE'LL
UNDERSTAND.
NIKOLAS: THE LAST THING
SHE NEEDS IS TO WALK
IN ON SOMETHING LIKE THIS.
KATHERINE: SOMETHING LIKE
WHAT?
WE WERE TWO PEOPLE EXPRESSING
HOW WE FEEL.
NIKOLAS: I'M GOING
TO FIND HER.
KATHERINE: AND EMBARRASS
HER EVEN MORE?
NIKOLAS, GIVE HER SOME ROOM.
WHY DON'T YOU JUST CALL
HER TOMORROW?

EMILY: JUAN REMEMBERS
EVERYTHING ABOUT THAT PARK
IN PUERTO RICO.
SONNY: HE WAS JUST
A LITTLE BOY.
EMILY: YOU WERE THERE
WITH LILY.
SONNY: YEAH.
EMILY: YOU LOOKED AT HER LIKE
SHE WAS THE ONLY WOMAN EVER
IN THE WORLD.
AND JUAN SHOWED YOU THIS
SEASHELL THAT HE FOUND,
AND YOU TOLD HIM ABOUT THE OCEAN
AND HOW IT TAKES UP ALMOST ALL
OF THE WORLD AND PEOPLE FORGET
HOW POWERFUL IT IS UNTIL THERE'S
A HURRICANE.
SONNY: HE WAS A BRIGHT KID.
EMILY: HE STILL IS.
SONNY: THEN WHAT'S HE DOING
IN THE O.R.?
EMILY: HE WANTS TO BE
LIKE YOU.
SONNY: YOU SHOULDN'T BE
INVOLVED IN THIS.
EMILY: IN WHAT?
YOU SAY YOU'RE NOT HIS FATHER,
SO WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?
YOU SPENT THE NIGHT HERE LAST
NIGHT, DIDN'T YOU?
SONNY: I PROMISED LILY.
EMILY: WOULD SHE WANT
YOU TO PUSH HIM AWAY?
SONNY: SWEETHEART, YOU DON'T
WANT TO GO THERE.
EMILY: JUAN GOT 98 DEGREES
TO SIGN ME AN AUTOGRAPH
AT KELLY'S.
THEY'RE THIS BAND THAT'S
ON THE RADIO ALL THE TIME.
SONNY: YEAH?
EMILY: HE ACTS LIKE HE'S
A BIG EXPERT ON EVERYTHING,
BUT IT'S REALLY FAKE.
I REALLY TRIED TO GET HIM
TO STOP GIVING YOU SO MUCH
ATTITUDE.
SONNY: YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO DO
THAT.
EMILY: HE'S REALLY
A NICE GUY.
I MEAN, WHEN IT'S JUST ME
AND HIM TOGETHER --
SONNY: HOW'D YOU MEET HIM?
EMILY: ON THE STREET.
HE SAID HE THOUGHT THAT I WAS
IN COLLEGE.
YEAH, I KNOW, IT'S A LINE.
BUT IT'S A GOOD ONE,
DON'T YOU THINK?
SONNY: YOU SHOULD NOT BE
SPEAKING TO BOYS OFF THE STREET.
EMILY: HE'S NOT REALLY OFF
THE STREET.
SONNY: OH?
EMILY: YOU CAN SEE THAT
IN HIM.
HE'S SMARTER.
AND I GET THIS FEELING
AROUND HIM.
SONNY: WHOA, YOU BETTER WATCH
OUT FOR THAT.
EMILY: I TOLD HIM THIS WAS
THE STUPIDEST WAY IN THE ENTIRE
WORLD TO TRY TO IMPRESS SOMEONE,
BUT --
SONNY: YOU DID ALL YOU COULD.
EMILY: SO DID YOU, SONNY.
BOBBIE: HEY.
SONNY: HEY.
BOBBIE: JUAN IS HOLDING
HIS OWN IN SURGERY, BUT THEY'RE
GOING TO HAVE TO REMOVE
HIS SPLEEN.
EMILY: THAT'S BAD, ISN'T IT?
BOBBIE: WELL, YOU KNOW,
PEOPLE LIVE LONG, HEALTHY LIVES
WITHOUT SPLEENS, SO DON'T WORRY.
EMILY: WELL, WHEN DOES HE GET
OUT OF SURGERY?
BOBBIE: A COUPLE OF HOURS
AT LEAST.
EMILY: I'LL WAIT.
BOBBIE: WELL, YOU KNOW,
WHEN HE GETS OUT OF SURGERY,
THEN HE'S GOING TO HAVE TO GO
TO RECOVERY, THEN I.C.U.
SO IT'S GOING TO BE TOMORROW
MORNING BEFORE THE DOCTORS WILL
EVEN CONSIDER LETTING HIM HAVE
ANY VISITORS.
EMILY: THAT'S OK.
I'LL WAIT ANYWAY.
BOBBIE: WHY DON'T YOU BOTH
TAKE A BREAK?
JUST GO HOME, GET SOME SLEEP,
AND GET SOME GOOD FOOD TO EAT.
SONNY: ALL RIGHT.
EMILY: I'M NOT GOING.
BOBBIE: OK, FINE.
I'LL CALL MONICA.
I'LL TELL HER YOU'RE HERE
AND THAT WE'RE KEEPING AN EYE
ON YOU.
EMILY: ACTUALLY, MAYBE I --
I WILL GO HOME.
YOU DON'T NEED TO CALL HER.
BOBBIE: OK. NO PROBLEM.
SONNY: YOU'LL LET ME KNOW
IF ANYTHING CHANGES?
BOBBIE: I WILL.
EMILY: THANK YOU.
SONNY: YOU READY?
EMILY: YEAH.
IS THERE ANY WAY THAT YOU CAN
DROP ME OFF AT THE END
OF THE DRIVEWAY?
SONNY: HOW YOUR FAMILY FEELS
ABOUT ME IS NOT YOUR PROBLEM.
EMILY: YEAH, BUT I'M NOT
SUPPOSED TO BE HERE.
SONNY: OH, SO YOU WANT
TO SNEAK BACK IN.
EMILY: YEAH.
THAT'S HARD TO DO IN A LIMO.
SONNY: ALL RIGHT.
WE'LL DROP YOU OFF WHEREVER
YOU WANT.
LET'S GO.
EMILY: THANKS.

NED: THIS IS NICE.
ALEXIS: NICER THAN I EVEN
REMEMBERED.
NED: I THINK IT'S TIME THAT
JAX AND I GET INVOLVED
IN A BUSINESS DEAL THAT REQUIRES
CONTINUOUS OVERNIGHT NEGOTIATION
SESSIONS AND THE PRESENCE
OF HIS WIFE AND MY
HOUSE COUNSEL.
ALEXIS: HOW LONG DO YOU THINK
THAT EXCUSE IS GOING TO LAST?
NED: TILL I CAN THINK
OF THE NEXT ONE.
ALEXIS: I MISS YOU.
NED: I MISS YOU, TOO.
YOU KNOW, WHAT I SAID
AT THE START STILL GOES --
I'LL ONLY MARRY CHLOE IF IT
DOESN'T HURT YOU.
ALEXIS: I'M NOT HURT.
JUST INCONVENIENCED.
IT'S A SMALL PRICE TO PAY
FOR SAVING CHLOE'S COMPANY
AND BEING ABLE TO THUMB
OUR NOSES AT YOUR GRANDFATHER.
NED: YOU'RE SURE?
ALEXIS: I'M SURE.
I'VE WAITED A LONG TIME TO BE
THE BEST THING IN SOMEBODY'S
LIFE.
I HAVE NO INTENTION OF LETTING
YOU LOSE ME.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]
LAURA: NIKOLAS?
LAURA: WHAT THE HELL ARE
YOU TRYING TO PULL?
KATHERINE: NIKOLAS STEPPED
OUT.
HE'LL BE BACK IN A WHILE.
LAURA: YOU SET HIM UP,
DIDN'T YOU?
KATHERINE: WOULD YOU CARE
TO LEAVE HIM A NOTE?
LAURA: YOU ARRANGED TO HAVE
HIM WALK IN JUST IN TIME TO HEAR
YOU DEFEND HIM TO HIS OWN
FATHER.
KATHERINE: STEFAN'S PROBLEMS
WITH NIKOLAS DON'T CONCERN ME.
LAURA: HE WOULDN'T HAVE ANY
PROBLEMS WITH HIS FATHER IF IT
WEREN'T FOR YOU.
KATHERINE: NIKOLAS MAKES
HIS OWN DECISIONS.
LAURA: ARE YOU SO DESPERATE
THAT YOU WOULD TRY TO TURN HIM
AGAINST HIS OWN FATHER?
I KNOW MY SON.
HE IS A VERY BRIGHT YOUNG MAN.
AND IT WON'T WORK.
HE'S GOING TO SEE RIGHT
THROUGH YOU.

TAMMY: ELIZABETH.
I THOUGHT YOU WERE HAVING LUNCH
WITH NIKOLAS.
ELIZABETH: YEAH, WELL, HE GOT
A BETTER OFFER.
I'M GOING TO GET THOSE TABLES
OUTSIDE.
NIKOLAS: ELIZABETH?
I -- I'M SORRY.
ELIZABETH: I'M THE ONE WHO
SHOULD'VE KNOCKED.
NIKOLAS: I DIDN'T MEAN
FOR YOU TO --
ELIZABETH: YOU KNOW WHAT?
WHEN MOST PEOPLE HAVE JOBS,
THEY HAVE TO WORK, OK?
NIKOLAS: I KNOW.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
ELIZABETH: I JUST DON'T
GET IT.
I MEAN, YOU'VE BEEN BROUGHT UP
SO WELL.
YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE ALL
SOPHISTICATED AND EVERYTHING.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT "TACKY" MEANS?
NIKOLAS: YES.
ELIZABETH: YOU KNOW,
FORGET I EVER SAID ANYTHING.
I'M JUST BEING JUDGMENTAL.
BUT YOU'RE A BETTER PERSON THAN
THAT, YOU KNOW?
NIKOLAS: I WAS COMPLETELY
WRONG.
TOTALLY.
I'M NOT DEFENDING MYSELF,
BUT IF I'D KNOWN YOU WERE
DROPPING BY --
ELIZABETH: WE WERE SUPPOSED
TO HAVE LUNCH.
NIKOLAS: TODAY?
ELIZABETH: YOU INVITED ME.
NIKOLAS: I DID? WHEN?
ELIZABETH: YOUR SECRETARY
CALLED ME AND TOLD ME YOU WANTED
TO MEET ME IN YOUR OFFICE.
NIKOLAS: KATHERINE SET ME UP.

NIKOLAS: WILL YOU SIT
AND TALK TO ME, PLEASE?
ELIZABETH: SO WHAT DO
YOU MEAN KATHERINE SET YOU UP?
NIKOLAS: SHE -- SHE WANTED
YOU TO WALK IN ON US.
ELIZABETH: YOU DON'T THINK
KATHERINE TOLD YOUR SECRETARY
TO INVITE ME TO LUNCH?
NIKOLAS: SHE MUST HAVE GOTTEN
MY FATHER TO THE OFFICE, TOO.
ELIZABETH: STEFAN WALKED
IN ON YOU AND KATHERINE, TOO?
NIKOLAS: NO.
NOT THIS TIME.
DON'T ASK.
MY FATHER -- MY FATHER WON'T
EVEN ACT LIKE I HAVE AN OFFICE,
MUCH LESS GO THERE.
BUT TODAY, I GO TO WORK,
AND THERE HE WAS IN MY OFFICE.
ELIZABETH: WITH KATHERINE.
NIKOLAS: THEY WERE ARGUING.
KATHERINE WAS SAYING HOW STRONG
I AM, HOW INDEPENDENT.
SHE WAS DEFENDING ME.
ELIZABETH: TO MAKE
YOUR FATHER LOOK BAD.
DO YOU THINK SHE MEANT
FOR YOU TO HEAR THOSE THINGS?
NIKOLAS: MY FATHER WOULD HAVE
NEVER DROPPED BY.
SHE WAS GOADING HIM,
DELIBERATELY MAKING HIM ANGRY
SO SHE COULD BE ON MY SIDE.
ELIZABETH: THIS IS REALLY
TWISTED.
NIKOLAS: SHE WANTED MY FATHER
AND ME TO ARGUE.
AND WE DID.
ELIZABETH: OK.
OK, BUT DON'T YOU THINK IT COULD
BE A COINCIDENCE?
I MEAN, YOU WALK IN AT THE EXACT
MOMENT THAT THEY'RE ARGUING
ABOUT YOU.
NIKOLAS: SHE PLANNED TO ARGUE
WITH HIM UNTIL I GOT THERE.
ELIZABETH: STILL,
IT'S A LITTLE FAR-FETCHED.
NIKOLAS: WHEN HE LEAVES,
I'M ALL UPSET, RIGHT?
SO WHAT DOES KATHERINE DO?
ELIZABETH: I'M PRETTY SURE
I DON'T WANT TO KNOW.
NIKOLAS: ANYWAY -- JUST
IN TIME FOR YOU TO WALK IN.
ELIZABETH: SHE WANTS YOU ALL
TO HERSELF, DOESN'T SHE?
NO FRIENDS, NO FAMILY.
JUST YOU AND HER.
NIKOLAS: SHE HAS
FROM THE START.
ELIZABETH: YOU KNOW, I NEVER
UNDERSTOOD WHY YOU GOT TOGETHER
WITH HER IN THE FIRST PLACE.
I MEAN, WHAT DID YOU --
I GUESS IT'S A GUY THING, HUH?
NIKOLAS: YEAH, PRETTY MUCH.
I'M SORRY YOU GOT TANGLED UP
IN THIS.
ELIZABETH: HEY, THINGS
HAPPEN.
NIKOLAS: THIS WON'T HAPPEN
AGAIN.
I'LL SEE YOU LATER.

KATHERINE: WHAT NIKOLAS
AND I DO OR DON'T DO IS NONE
OF YOUR CONCERN.
YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER HIM.
LAURA: THAT'S TRUE.
KATHERINE: HE THINKS
FOR HIMSELF, AND HE KNOWS THAT
YOU AND STEFAN WOULD DO ANYTHING
TO KEEP US APART.
LAURA: OH, I SEE.
SO NOW IT'S NIKOLAS AND JULIET.
AND WHAT ARE WE, THE EVIL
PARENTS STANDING IN THE WAY
OF TRUE LOVE?
WELL, I DON'T KNOW.
MAYBE YOU'RE RIGHT.
MAYBE -- MAYBE YOU DO HONESTLY
CARE ABOUT MY SON.
BUT IF THAT WERE TRUE, YOU WOULD
KNOW IN YOUR HEART THAT YOU'RE
NOT RIGHT FOR HIM.
KATHERINE: YOU DON'T
UNDERSTAND THIS.
NIKOLAS AND I HAVE A
RELATIONSHIP.
LAURA: ARE YOU SAYING YOU'RE
IN LOVE WITH MY SON?
IF THAT'S TRUE,
YOU DO WHAT'S RIGHT FOR HIM --
YOU LEAVE HIM ALONE.

ALAN: DID YOU THINK
WE WOULDN'T NOTICE?
DID YOU THINK YOU WERE THE FIRST
PERSON TO EVER TRY TO SNEAK OUT
OF A BEDROOM WINDOW IN THIS
HOUSE?
EMILY: WHY DIDN'T YOU COME
AFTER ME, SEND EVERY POLICE
OFFICER IN TOWN, CALL
THE HOSPITAL AND TELL THEM
TO BAR THE DOORS?
ALAN: I CONVINCED YOUR MOTHER
TO BACK OFF.
EMILY: THANK YOU.
ALAN: BUT WE'RE NOT GOING
TO GANG UP ON MONICA, OK?
EMILY: JUAN ALMOST DIED
TODAY.
YOU PROBABLY DON'T EVEN CARE.
HE COULD BE DYING THIS SECOND.
HE HAD TO GO IN FOR EMERGENCY
SURGERY.
SONNY WAS THERE, AND I DIDN'T
GET THERE IN TIME.
THERE WERE ALL THESE PEOPLE
AROUND HIS BED, AND THEY HAD
TO RUSH HIM DOWN THE HALL.
I REACHED OUT TO TOUCH HIM,
AND THEY WOULDN'T LET ME.
BOBBIE SAYS THAT THEY'RE GOING
TO HAVE TO TAKE OUT HIS SPLEEN.
DO YOU THINK THAT HE COULD DIE?
ALAN: IT'S VERY SERIOUS, EM.
EMILY: YOU AND MOM WOULDN'T
LET ME SEE HIM IN THE HOSPITAL.
HE NEEDED ME TO BE THERE.
DON'T YOU THINK HE'S GOING
TO WONDER WHERE I WAS?
IF HE DIES,
AND YOU AND MOM WOULDN'T LET ME
SEE HIM --
IF HE DIES --

JOHNNY: YOU HAVE A VISITOR.
SONNY: JUAN'S IN SURGERY.
HANNAH: AGAIN?
SONNY: IT'S BAD, YEAH.
THEY WON'T LET ME SEE HIM TILL
TOMORROW, IF HE LIVES THAT LONG.
HANNAH: DID YOU EAT ANYTHING?
SONNY: WHAT IS ITITH YOU --
YOU AND MIKE?
DO YOU THINK I ALWAYS GOT TO BE
HUNGRY?
HANNAH: I'M STILL TRYING
TO GET AHOLD OF JUAN'S FATHER.
SONNY: OK, THANKS.
HANNAH: THERE'S SOUP
IN THE FRIDGE AND CANNELLONI
IN THE OVEN.
SONNY: I'M NOT HUNGRY, OK?
HANNAH: LEAVE IT IN THE OVEN,
THEN.
LET IT RUIN.
SONNY, YOU DIDN'T CAUSE THIS.
YOU'D TRADE PLACES WITH THAT KID
IF YOU COULD.
SONNY: BUT I CAN'T.

HANNAH: YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO
THROUGH THIS ALONE.
HANNAH: COME ON.
LET'S GO UPSTAIRS.
SONNY: I'M NOT GOOD COMPANY.
HANNAH: I AM.
SONNY: THANKS FOR COMING BY.
HANNAH: THE CANNELLONI'S
REALLY GOOD.
YOU SHOULD TRY IT.
SONNY: YEAH, THANKS.
HANNAH: YOU'LL CALL ME
IF YOU NEED ANYTHING?
SONNY: I WILL.
HANNAH: TAKE CARE
OF YOURSELF.

KATHERINE: I'M GLAD YOU'RE
BACK.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
NIKOLAS: I'M ONLY TAKING WHAT
I BROUGHT.
ANYTHING YOU GAVE ME STAYS HERE.
KATHERINE: THAT ISN'T VERY
PROFESSIONAL.
NIKOLAS: IT'S MY LETTER
OF RESIGNATION.

ALAN: YEAH, WELL, A LOW
H AND H IS TO BE EXPECTED.
WHAT ABOUT THE W.B.C.?
WELL, THAT'S TOO HIGH.
WE GOT TO GET THAT DOWN.
THAT'S GOOD, THAT'S GOOD.
OK, THANKS VERY MUCH, BOBBIE.
EMILY: IS JUAN ALL RIGHT?
ALAN: HE'S HOLDING HIS OWN.
HE'S OFF THE CRICAL LIST.
EMILY: THAT'S REALLY GOOD,
ISN'T IT?
ALAN: YES.
WELL, ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN,
BUT IT LOOKS LIKE HE'S GOING
TO MAKE IT.
EMILY: WHY AM I STILL
SO SCARED?
ALAN: YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU WERE
SICK, WHEN YOU OVERDOSED, I WAS
SO SCARED.
I WAS SO SCARED THAT I WAS GOING
TO LOSE YOU.
I MEAN, YOU WERE MY DAUGHTER,
THIS LITTLE CHILD THAT PAIGE HAD
ENTRUSTED TO US TO BRING UP.
AND I COULDN'T LEAVE YOU.
I DIDN'T.
EMILY: THAT'S EXACTLY HOW
I FEEL ABOUT JUAN.
ALAN: I KNEW WHAT
YOUR CHANCES WERE.
I KNEW WHAT WAS HAPPENING.
AND I JUST -- I PRAYED SO HARD
FOR YOU JUST TO OPEN YOUR EYES,
FOR YOU TO LIVE.
I WAS MAKING ALL KINDS OF DEALS
WITH GOD, SAYING THAT
IF YOU LIVED I WOULD MAKE SURE
THAT YOU WERE NEVER IN DANGER
AGAIN.
WELL, FOR A LONG TIME,
I COULDN'T REALLY KEEP THAT
PROMISE BECAUSE I WASN'T DOING
TOO WELL.
BUT I'M DOING FINE NOW.
AND I JUST WANT YOU
TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE ONLY
REASON THAT I AM TRYING TO DO
THIS --
EMILY: DAD, I'M GOING
TO SEE HIM.
ALAN: NO, EMILY, YOU'RE NOT.

MAC: RESEARCH IS ONE THING,
FELICIA.
BUT YOU'RE NOT RESEARCHING
EDWARD AND LILA QUARTERMAINE'S
PAST ANYMORE.
YOU'RE INVESTIGATING WHAT?
FELICIA: IT'S REALLY NOT FAIR
TO SAY UNLESS I'M 100% SURE.
AND UNTIL LUKE AND I GO BACK
TO OYSTER BAY ONE MORE TIME,
I WON'T BE 100% SURE.
NOW, I -- PLEASE, LISTEN TO ME.
I KNOW YOU DON'T LIKE THIS,
BUT YOU KNOW ME.
I HAVE TO FINISH WHEN I START
SOMETHING.
MAC: AND WHAT IF SOMEONE
TRIES TO FINISH YOU FIRST?
YOU KNOW, YOU NEVER TOLD ME WHY
OR HOW YOU AND LUKE GOT LOCKED
IN THAT CRYPT IN THE FIRST
PLACE.
IT WASN'T AN ACCIDENT, WAS IT?

CHLOE: YES, I'M LISTENING,
THERESE.
I REALIZE THE PRICE OF SILK HAS
GONE UP.
30% IS A BIG JUMP.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
JAX: SO THEN WHAT ARE
THE REAL FIGURES?
CHLOE: I CAN'T MAKE
MY DRESSES OUT OF PAPER, CAN I?
JAX: YOU EXPECT ME TO BUY
STOCK AT THAT PRICE?
CHLOE: WHO CONTROLS THE PRICE
OF SILK, THERESE?T I.
JAX: OH, SPARE ME THE SONG
AND DANCE.
CHLOE: THE SILK PEOPLE HAVE
TO MAKE A LIVING, TOO.
JAX: WELL, THEN THE
DEAL'S OFF.
CHLOE: DON'T WE HAVE ANY
MONEY IN OUR PURCHASE ACCOUNT?
JAX: THAT'S RIGHT, I'LL WALK
AWAY.
I'VE WASTED FAR TOO MUCH TIME
HAGGLING ABOUT THIS.
CALL ME BACK WHEN YOU'RE
SERIOUS.
CHLOE: THERESE, I'M AFRAID
I'VE HAD A CHANGE OF HEART.
TELL THEM I WON'T PURCHASE ANY
SILK AT A 30% INCREASE.
THAT'S RIGHT.
THERE ARE MILLIONS OF SILKWORMS
ON THE PLANET, THERESE.
TELL THEM THAT.
I WILL CONSIDER A 25% CREASE.
WAIT -- NO.
THERESE, I MEANT TO SAY 12.5%.
AND WILL YOU GET THEM
ON THE OTHER LINE RIGHT NOW,
PLEASE?
OF COURSE I'M SERIOUS.
AND TELL THEM THAT WE HAVE
WASTED ENOUGH TIME CHATTING
AND I WILL GO FOR A WALK.
I MEAN, ENOUGH TIME HAGGLING,
AND I WILL WALK AWAY.
SHE'S GETTING THEM.
JAX: NICE WORK.
CHLOE: I MAY BE SELLING PAPER
DRESSES NEXT SEASON.
JAX: OH, I DOUBT THAT.
CHLOE: OW.
JAX: OOH.
WHOA!
CHLOE: OH.
THERESE, YES.
WHAT DID THEY SAY?
THEY SAID YES?
DID YOU DIAL THE RIGHT NUMBER?
YES, THAT IS PERFECT.
I WILL MEET THEM IN NEW YORK
TOMORROW, AND WE WILL CLOSE
THE DEAL.
THANK YOU, THERESE.
YOU'RE A DEAR.
I DIDN'T KNOW DOING BUSINESS
COULD BE SO MUCH FUN.
JAX: CONGRATULATIONS.
CHLOE: NOW I NEED TO FIND
SOMETHING TO SHOW THEM.
WHERE'S MY SKETCH, THE ONE THAT
REMINDS ME OF MOONLIGHT
IN SPRING?
JAX: OH.
ONLY ONE WAY TO FIND OUT.
CHLOE: LEG UP?
JAX: YEP.
CHLOE: OK.
EDWARD: AHA!
JAX: DID HE ACTUALLY SAY,
"AHA"?
CHLOE: YEAH, I THINK HE DID.
JAX: WHOA.

KATHERINE: THIS IS
YOUR LETTER OF RESIGNATION?
IT'S BLANK.
NIKOLAS: YOU'RE GOOD
AT PUTTING WORDS INTO MY MOUTH.
FILL IOUT YOURSELF.
I'M IN A HURRY.
KATHERINE: I SEE.
SO YOU'RE JUST GOING TO WALK OUT
THAT DOOR.
I DON'T HAVE TO TELL YOU HOW
UNPROFESSIONAL THAT IS.
NIKOLAS: THERE IS NOTHING
PROFESSIONAL ABOUT THIS JOB --
OR, AS YOU LIKE TO CALL IT,
A POSITION.
KATHERINE: DO YOU REALLY
THINK THAT I WOULD PAY SOMEONE
JUST TO BE ORNAMENTAL?
I AM NOT HELENA.
NIKOLAS: ONLY BECAUSE I GOT
RED ENOUGH TO INVENT A JOB
LIKE THIS OUT OF THIN AIR.
BUT WHO SAID YOUR MONEY WAS
GOOD?
YOU CAN KEEP MY LAST PAYCHECK,
PERSONALLY AND PROFESSIONALLY.
I WANT NOTHING TO DO
WITH YOU ANYMORE.

KATHERINE: I WON'T SAY THAT
PETULANCE DOESN'T HAVE
ITS PLACE.
I RESORT TO IT ALL THE TIME.
BUT WHY DON'T WE SAVE OURSELVES
TIME AND TROUBLE AND JUST PUT
THE POSTURING ASIDE AND DISCUSS
WHAT YOU'RE REALLY UPSET ABOUT.
OBVIOUSLY, YOU THINK THAT I'VE
DONE SOMETHING THAT HAS CROSSED
SOME LINE.
NIKOLAS: NOT AT ALL.
YOU'VE BEEN COMPLETELY
CONSISTENT.
BUT I'M THE ONE WHO'S CHANGING
THE RULES WITHOUT WARNING.
I'M NOT GOING TO LET
YOU MANIPULATE ME ANYMORE.
KATHERINE: AND HOW HAVE
I DONE THAT?
NIKOLAS: YOU'VE BEEN
AN UNDERSTANDABLE MISTAKE
IN THE BEGINNING.
TRUE, YOUR ROLE IN MY LIFE
CHANGED OVERNIGHT -- FROM WISE,
WITTY FRIEND TO POTENTIAL LOVER.
BUT SINCE THAT'S WHAT I WANTED
FROM THE FIRST DAY THAT I MET
YOU, WHY WOULD I ASK MYSELF
IF YOU HAD AN AGENDA?
STILL, ONCE I KNEW YOU'D ONLY
SEDUCED ME AT MY GRANDMOTHER'S
URGING --
KATHERINE: I SEDUCED YOU?
NIKOLAS: TO TAKE PRIVATE
REVENGE ON MY FATHER AND MOTHER.
KATHERINE: NIKOLAS, YOU WERE
THE AGGRESSOR.
HOW MANY TIMES DID I SAY,
"NO, A SEXUAL RELATIONSHIP WAS
IMPOSSIBLE"?
BUT YOU SWORE TO ME THAT
YOU KNEW EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANTED
AND THAT YOU WERE GROWN-UP
ENOUGH TO HANDLE IT.
I BELIEVED YOU.
I LET MYSELF FALL IN LOVE
WITH YOU.
AND NOW --
NIKOLAS: LOVE?
IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE CALLING IT?
STAGING FIGHTS WITH MY FATHER?
KATHERINE: OH, DON'T BE
RIDICULOUS.
HOW WAS I TO KNOW HE WAS GOING
TO WALK THROUGH THE DOOR?
NIKOLAS: ARRANGING
FOR ELIZABETH TO WALK IN WHILE
WE'RE HAVING SEX.
KATHERINE: YOU'RE BLAMING ME
FOR THAT?
NIKOLAS: IF THIS IS YOUR IDEA
OF LOVE, NO WONDER YOU'RE
SO ALONE.
KATHERINE: DO YOU THINK THAT
YOU CAN JUST WALK OUT ON ME
AFTER EVERYTHING THAT YOU PUT ME
THROUGH?

FELICIA: MAYBE IT WAS JUST
A KID PLAYING A PRACTICAL JOKE.
MAC: IN A CEMETERY AT NIGHT?
FELICIA: WELL, MAYBE IT WAS
SOME VISITOR VISITING ANOTHER
FAMILY GRAVE AND SAW THE DOOR
AJAR.
MAC: COME ON, FELICIA.
YOU'RE REACHING.
SWEETHEART, THE MOST LOGICAL
EXPLANATION IS THAT YOU WERE
GETTING TOO CLOSE TO SOMETHING
FOR SOMEONE, AND THEY WANT
YOU OUT OF THE WAY.
FELICIA: WELL, THEN HOW CAN
YOU BE SURE THAT I'M SAFE NOW?
IF YOU'RE RIGHT, THEN ALL
THE MORE REASON TO SEE THIS
THROUGH.
HOW AM I GOING TO PROTECT MYSELF
IF I DON'T KNOW WHO OR WHAT?
I PROMISE YOU, I WILL BE
CAREFUL.
MAC: OH, YEAH, YOU WILL.
BUT WILL LUKE?
FELICIA: WOULD YOU RATHER
HAVE ME GO AT IT ALONE AFTER
WHAT HAPPENED?
MAC: I'D RATHER HAVE YOU NOT
GO AT IT AT ALL.
FELICIA: I CAN ASSURE
YOU I AM NOT GOING TO GO IN ANY
CRYPT.
I WILL NOT TAKE THAT KIND
OF CHANCE AGAIN.
I PROMISE YOU.
MAC: BOY, LONG GONE ARE
THE DAYS WHEN A MAN COULD TELL
HIS WIFE WHAT HE DOESN'T WANT
HER TO DO.
FELICIA: I LET YOU DO THAT
SOMETIMES.
MAC: JUST BE CAREFUL.
FELICIA: I WILL.
THANK YOU.
MAC: YEAH, WELL,
YOU JUST TELL LUKE --
YOU JUST TELL LUKE THAT YOU TELL
ME EVERYTHING, AND LET HIM FRET
ABOUT IT, OK?
FELICIA: DON'T WANT TO BE TOO
LATE.
MAC: TAGGERT.
I NEED YOU TO PUT A TAIL
ON MY WIFE.

EMILY: YOU'VE NEVER EVEN MET
JUAN.
ALAN: I DON'T HAVE
TO MEET HIM.
EMILY: THAT'S TOTALLY UNFAIR.
ALAN: I'VE SEEN THE PEOPLE
HE ASSOCIATES WITH.
I KNOW WHO HE WANTS TO IMPRESS.
EMILY: YOU'VE NEVER MADE
MISTAKES IN YOUR LIFE BEFORE?
ALAN: I'M TRYING TO STOP
YOU FROM MAKING ONE.
EMILY: YOU KNOW WHAT?
YOU GIVE ME NO CREDIT AT ALL.
YOU'VE NO FAITH THAT I CAN PICK
MY OWN FRIENDS, THAT I KNOW
A GOOD GUY WHEN I SEE ONE.
ALAN: IN THIS CASE --
EMILY: THIS IS ABOUT JASON,
ISN'T IT?
YOU THINK THAT SONNY STOLE JASON
AWAY FROM YOU, AND YOU'RE TAKING
IT OUT ON ME, AREN'T YOU?
YOU KNOW, I'M TIRED OF THIS
FAMILY DUMPING THINGS ON ME.
JASON CAN JUST WALK OUT
OF MICHAEL'S LIFE AND NO ONE
EVEN MENTIONS IT.
I HAVE TO BE NICE TO CARLY
OR ELSE.
AND WHEN I MEET SOMEONE WHO
LISTENS TO ME AND CARES ABOUT
ME, YOU WON'T EVEN LET ME GO
SEE HIM.
ALAN: HE'S TROUBLE, EMILY.
EMILY: "HE'S TROUBLE"?
THAT'S IT?
NOW WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO,
HUH?
JUST GO UPSTAIRS AND WATCH MUSIC
VIDEOS, MAYBE WASH MY HAIR,
SIT IN THIS HOUSE ALL DAY
WITH THIS LUNATIC FAMILY?
ALAN: PEOPLE WHO ASSOCIATE
WITH SONNY GET HURT.
EMILY: IF YOU REALLY CARED,
YOU WOULD TAKE ME TO
THE HOSPITAL.
YOU WOULD DO SOMETHING.
YOU WOULD TRY TO HELP.
BUT I GUESS IT'S JUST EASIER
TO SAY NO.
ALAN: I'M SORRY, EMILY.
I'M NOT GOING TO SUPPORT ANY
KIND OF RELATIONSHIP
WITH THIS BOY.
I DON'T WANT YOU TO SEE HIM
AGAIN AND NEITHER DOES
YOUR MOTHER.
EMILY: SO?
ALAN: OH.
WELL, WITH THAT KIND OF ANSWER,
HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO TRUST
YOUR JUDGMENT?
EMILY: YOU KNOW WHAT?
NO MATTER WHAT I SAY,
YOU WOULDN'T LET ME GO.
ALAN: YOU HAVE TO TRY
AND APPRECIATE OUR CONCERN.
WE TRUSTED YOU, AND YOU CLIMB
OUT OF A BEDROOM WINDOW.
EMILY: FINE.
I PROMISE I WON'T EVER DO THAT
AGAIN.
ALAN: GOOD.
EMILY: NEXT TIME I'LL JUST
USE THE DOOR.

TAMMY: HEY.
HANNAH: HEY.
TAMMY: WELL, I GUESS I WON'T
LEAVE THE LIGHT ON AFTER
ALL, HUH?
HANNAH: I KNOW SONNY
NEEDS ME.
HE JUST KEEPS PUSHING ME AWAY.

SONNY: I DON'T CARE!
I DON'T CARE WHERE ARMANDO
SANTIAGO IS OR WHAT HE'S DOING.
GET HIM TO PORT CHARLES!
THE KID NEEDS HIS FATHER!

EDWARD: WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?
CHLOE: JAX ACCIDENTALLY FLEW
ONE OF MY DESIGNS UP
ONTO THE BOOKSHELF.
IT'S RATHER LOVELY,
REALLY, FOR NEXT SPRING.
JAX: WE'RE WORKING, ACTUALLY.
EDWARD: OH, YES, I CAN SEE
THAT.
JAX: WELL, ACTUALLY,
CHLOE JUST MADE A HARD-LINE
DEAL.
GERTRUDE: OH, NOW I KNOW
SHE'S LYING.
EDWARD: OH, OH, OH.
THERE'S NO SENSE IN BEING HARSH,
GERTRUDE.
CHLOE: THANK YOU, EDWARD.
JAX: THAT'S RIGHT.
YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN PROUD
OF HER.
EDWARD: SO, WHERE'S
MY GRANDSON?
IS HE ON THE UNEMPLOYMENT LINE?
WHAT?
CHLOE: YOU BARELY MISSED HIM.
WE WERE WAITING FOR HIM
TO COME --
ALEXIS: YOU DIDN'T DRINK ALL
THE CHAMPAGNE,ID YOU?

>> STAY TUNED FOR SCENES FROM
THE NEXT "GENERAL HOSPITAL."

KATHERINE: I WAS THE BEST
THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO YOU.

ALEXIS: IT'S LAID OUT
ON THE BED UPSTAIRS.

EDWARD: ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT
THE DRESS OR MY GRANDSON NED?

LUKE: ELLIOT THOMPSON WAS
MURDERED.
WE'RE GOING TO PROVE IT TONIGHT.

A.J.: I'M BEING SET UP
TO FAIL, AND IT'S GRANDFATHER'S
FAULT.
