NED: OH, GREAT.
YOU'RE STILL HERE.
JAX: WHOA.
WELL, NOT FOR LONG.
I'VE GOT A DEAL TO CLOSE.
NED: SO DO I, AND MINE TAKES
PRIORITY.
I NEED YOUR INPUT.
JAX: WELL, THIS IS A FIRST.
SINCE WHEN HAVE YOU EVER
ADMITTED TO NEEDING MY INPUT
ON ANYTHING?
NED: YOU DID SUCH A TERRIFIC
JOB HELPING ME PICK OUT CHLOE'S
ENGAGEMENT RING, NOW I NEED
YOU TO HELP ME PICK OUT
THE PERFECT WEDDING BAND.

CHLOE: CARLY, YOU HAVE GONE
TO WAY TOO MUCH TROUBLE.
CARLY: DON'T BE SILLY.
LILA'S COUNTING ON ME HERE.
SHE'S CONSERVING HER STRENGTH
FOR FRIDAY, SO SHE'S COUNTING
ON ME TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS
GOES OFF WITHOUT A HITCH.
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
YOU NERVOUS?
CHLOE: YES.
I KEEP TELLING MYSELF IT'S TO BE
EXPECTED SINCE I'VE ONLY KNOWN
NED FOR TWO MONTHS.
CARLY: WELL, HOW'S YOUR DRESS
COMING?
CHLOE: ALMOST FINISHED.
THANKS TO MY CREW, WHO I WILL BE
ETERNALLY GRATEFUL TO.
CARLY: YOU KNOW, I WAS
WONDERING -- YOU'RE
A WORLD-FAMOUS DESIGNER,
SO PICTURES OF YOU IN YOUR DRESS
WILL PROBABLY END UP IN ALL
THE MAGAZINES ALL OVER
THE GLOBE.
DOES THAT MAKE YOU FEEL
PRESSURED OR -- I'M SORRY.
YOU KNOW WHAT?
NEVER MIND.
I DIDN'T SAY THAT.
I'M SORRY.
CHLOE: OH, NO, NO.
NOT AT ALL.
IT'S OK.
I DON'T FEEL PRESSURED ABOUT
WHAT THE REST OF THE WORLD
THINKS OF MY DESIGNS.
ALL I CARE ABOUT IS IF I LIKE
THE FANTASY THAT MY DRESSES
CREATE -- YOU KNOW,
IF I LIKE IT.
I HAVE A FEELING YOU AND I ARE
VERY SIMILAR IN OUR IDEAS ABOUT
DESIGN.
SPEAKING OF DRESSES,
I NEED TO GO CHANGE.
CARLY,
PLEASE KNOW HOW MUCH ALL OF THIS
MEANS TO ME.
NOT JUST THE SHOWER, BUT HOW
WELCOME YOU HAVE MADE ME FEEL
HERE.
CARLY: WELL, CHLOE, I COULD
SAY THE SAME FOR YOU.
AND THAT'S SAYING A LOT,
CONSIDERING THIS
CIVILITY-CHALLENGED HOUSEHOLD.
CHLOE: WELL, MAYBE WE SHOULD
START A PROGRAM -- QUARTERMAINE
BRIDES ANONYMOUS.
NO, BUT YOU SEEM TO HAVE FIT
RIGHT IN.
YOU'RE PERFECTLY AT EASE.
A.J.: I COULDN'T AGREE MORE.
HOW'S IT GOING?
WOW.
EVERYTHING LOOKS FANTASTIC.
CHLOE: IT'S ALL DUE
TO YOUR WIFE.
I'LL SEE YOU ALL.
A.J.: OK.
I WAS ON MY WAY TO THE OFFICE,
AND I WAS WONDERING IF YOU HAVE
ANY MORE PEARLS OF WISDOM.
CARLY: LET'S SEE --
WELL, I -- I DO, ACTUALLY.
A.J.: MM-HMM.
CARLY: I THINK THAT YOU JUST
NEED TO REMEMBER THAT EVERYBODY
AT E.L.Q. WORKS FOR YOU.
I DON'T CARE HOW CONFIDENT
SOMEBODY SEEMS.
HE OR SHE IS SECRETLY AFRAID
OF YOU.
AND IF THEY'RE NOT,
THEN THEY ARE SECRETLY VERY
UNSAVVY ABOUT THE BUSINESS FOOD
CHAIN, YOU KNOW?
YOU NEED TO USE THAT
TO YOUR ADVANTAGE, A.J.
YOU'RE VERY POWERFUL.
USE IT.
A.J.: I PLAN TO.
CARLY: GOOD.
A.J.: AND WITH YOU CHEERING
ME ON, THERE'S NOTHING
I CAN'T DO.
I'LL SEE YOU LATER.
CARLY: OK.

LAURA: THIS TIME,
SWEETIE, LET'S DOUBLE KNOT THEM,
AND THAT WAY MAYBE THEY'LL STAY
TIED.
HOW'S THAT?
LESLEY LU: STEFAN!
LAURA: OH.
STEFAN: WHOA!
LAURA: DID YOU COME TO PLAY
WITH US?
STEFAN: I WISH I COULD.
LAURA: BUT?
STEFAN: SOMETHING HAS
COME UP.

LUKE: YEAH.
HI. IT'S ME.
I'M MISSING MY LITTLE PRINCESS.
COULD YOU BRING HER BY THE CLUB
TODAY?
AND THERE'S A COUPLE OF THINGS
I'D LIKE TO TALK OVER WITH YOU.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
LUKE: BYE.
YES?
HERR KRIEG.
FAISON: MR. SPENCER.
LUKE: YOU GOT MY MESSAGE.
FAISON: YEAH, I WAS GLAD
TO HEAR OUR PROJECT WAS FINALLY
UNDER WAY.

FAISON: ALL THE INFORMATION
YOU NEED, INCLUDING THE LOCATION
OF THE JEWELS.
MY ASSOCIATES ARE EXPECTING YOU.
LUKE: GOOD.
THERE'S ONE PROBLEM.
THE AMOUNT THAT WE AGREED ON --
I -- I NEED THE REST OF IT NOW.
FAISON: I ALREADY MADE
A SUBSTANTIAL INVESTMENT
WITH NO RETURN.
LUKE: YES, BUT THE RETURN
THAT YOU'RE EXPECTING IS
GREAT -- FAR GREATER THAN
THE INVESTMENT YOU'VE MADE.
I'M TAKING BIG RISKS HERE.
FAISON: SO AM I.
LUKE: WELL, I COULD DO IT
CUT-RATE, CUT A FEW CORNERS.
OF COURSE, MY CHANCES OF BEING
CAUGHT WITH YOUR MERCHANDISE GO
UP THEN.
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT.
HOW ABOUT THIS?
I'LL TAKE THE REMAINDER OF IT
OUT IN DIAMONDS ON DELIVERY.
FAISON: YOU TRY A MAN'S
PATIENCE.
YOU EVER TRIED IT TOO FAR?
LUKE: FREQUENTLY.
BUT SOMEHOW I'M STILL HERE.
FAISON: WHICH IS THE REASON
I CAME TO YOU.
YOU'LL GET THE REST TODAY.
IN CASH.

STEFAN: NOW THAT I AM AGAIN
IN CHARGE OF THE CASSADINE
ESTATE, I NEED TO CONSOLIDATE
THINGS ABROAD -- CERTAIN
IMPEDIMENTS THAT COME UP THAT
REQUIRE MY PERSONAL SUPERVISION.
I MUST LEAVE IMMEDIATELY.
LAURA: IMMEDIATELY, AS IN?
STEFAN: TODAY.
LAURA: WELL, ARE YOU GOING
TO BE GONE VERY LONG?
STEFAN: I HAVE A MEETING
IN ZURICH TOMORROW.
I SHOULD HAVE A BETTER IDEA
AFTER THAT.
BUT I WILL RETURN AS SOON
AS I CAN.
LAURA: WOW.
I DIDN'T REALIZE HOW MUCH I'D
COME TO DEPEND ON YOU.
I THINK I'M MISSING YOU ALREADY.
STEFAN: WELL, THEN,
WHY DON'T YOU AND LESLEY LU COME
WITH ME?
LAURA: OH, DON'T TEMPT ME.
STEFAN: I AM SERIOUS.
LAURA: I KNOW, I KNOW.
AND I THINK WE WOULD LOVE IT.
BUT, YOU KNOW,
I'M JUST GETTING THE OUTREACH
PROGRAM UP TO SPEED, AND I'M
JUST STARTING TO WAKE UP
IN THE MORNING AND RECOGNIZE
MY OWN LIFE.
AND I THINK I BETTER JUST SETTLE
FOR BEING IN EAGER ANTICIPATION
OF YOUR RETURN.
STEFAN: WELL, I SUPPOSE
THAT'S PROGRESS.
THERE WAS A TIME WHEN YOU WOULD
HAVE DREADED SEEING ME.
LAURA: WELL, THOSE DAYS ARE
LONG GONE.
I REALLY COUNT ON IT NOW.
STEFAN: WELL -- YEAH.
I'M AFRAID I MUST LEAVE.
LAURA: ARE YOU GOING STRAIGHT
TO THE AIRPORT NOW?
STEFAN: NO.
ACTUALLY, I HAVE TO STOP
BY WYNDEMERE TO TAKE CARE OF ONE
MATTER.
BUT YOU CAN REACH ME ON THE CELL
PHONE AT ANY HOUR.
LAURA: I'LL BE OK.
LAURA: CALL ME.
STEFAN: I WILL.
LESLEY LU.
I WILL BE GOING ON A TRIP
FOR A FEW DAYS.
I'LL MISS YOU.
LAURA: MAYBE YOU'D LIKE
TO GIVE STEFAN A HUG GOOD-BYE.
LESLEY LU: WILL YOU COME
BACK?
STEFAN: I PROMISE.
LESLEY LU: WILL YOU CALL ME,
TOO?
STEFAN: I WILL.
WELL,
APPARENTLY, I'LL BE IN TOUCH.
BYE.
LAURA: BYE-BYE.
TRAVEL SAFELY.

MONICA: EMILY?
EM -- HELLO?
WHY AREN'T YOU GETTING READY
FOR CHLOE'S SHOWER?
EMILY: I'M NOT GOING.
IT'S GOING TO BE MOSTLY ADULTS,
AND SINCE I JUST CAN'T SEEM
TO ACT LIKE ONE --
MONICA: LOOK, LOOK, LOOK.
JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T AGREE
WITH YOUR FATHER'S AND
MY DECISION DOESN'T MEAN THAT
CHLOE HAS TO PAY FOR IT.
IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GO,
THEN GO APOLOGIZE, EXPLAIN WHY.
BUT SHE SHOULDN'T BE SLIGHTED
JUST BECAUSE YOU AND I DON'T SEE
EYE TO EYE.
EMILY: FINE.
CHLOE: GETTING RID OF RATS,
KILLING SPIDERS -- OH,
WILL YOU HELP ME WITH THIS?
EMILY: SURE.
OF COURSE.
CHLOE: IT'S ONE OF THE BEST
REASONS TO GET MARRIED --
SO SOMEONE'S ALWAYS AVAILABLE
TO HELP YOU FASTEN YOUR JEWELRY.
EMILY: HMM.
LET'S SEE -- WHERE'S THE LITTLE
CLASP?
CHLOE: CAN YOU GET IT?
EMILY: YEAH.
THERE WE GO.
CHLOE: PERFECT.
EMILY: I'M GOING TO HAVE
TO APOLOGIZE, CHLOE.
I WON'T BE ABLE TO MAKE IT
TO YOUR SHOWER.
CHLOE: IF I WERE YOUR AGE,
I WOULDN'T BE HERE, EITHER.
EMILY: IT'S NOTHING PERSONAL.
I JUST HAVE A FRIEND WHO'S
IN THE HOSPITAL.
CHLOE: OH, WELL, OF COURSE.
YOU SHOULD BE WITH YOUR FRIEND.
EMILY: SEE, THAT'S EXACTLY
WHAT I THINK.
BUT MY PARENTS DON'T AGREE
WITH ME, AND THEY WANT ME
TO STAY AWAY FROM HIM.
THEY THINK HE'S "DANGEROUS."
AND THEY WON'T LISTEN
TO THE TRUTH.
THEY REFUSE TO BELIEVE THAT
I CAN MAKE DECISIONS FOR MYSELF.
CHLOE: WELL,
HAVE YOU DONE THINGS IN THE PAST
THAT MADE THEM QUESTION
YOUR JUDGMENT?
EMILY: YEAH.
TWO YEARS AGO BUT NOT SINCE.
YOU KNOW WHAT I THINK ALL
THIS IS?
I THINK THEY WANT ME TO STAY
THEIR LITTLE GIRL FOREVER.
AND, WELL, THEY KEEPING MAKING
MISTAKES, AND THEY DON'T REALIZE
THAT I'M DIFFERENT, YOU KNOW?
WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
CHLOE: WHAT WOULD
YOUR GRANDPARENTS DO?
EMILY: WELL, IF MY
GRANDFATHER FORBIDS
MY GRANDMOTHER FROM DOING
SOMETHING, SHE GOES AHEAD
AND DOES IT ANYWAY.
OK, I SEE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
OK, GRANDFATHER ONLY PRETENDS
TO DO WHAT YOU WANT, AND THEN
HE GOES BEHIND YOUR BACK
AND DOES AS HE PLEASES.
LET ME SEE YOUR WATCH.
CHLOE: EMILY --
EMILY: WHAT TIME IS IT?
OK, OK.
THIS IS AMAZING.
I WILL BE HERE FOR YOUR SHOWER.
CHLOE: NO, EMILY, WAIT --
EMILY: THANK YOU
FOR THE ADVICE.
THANK YOU.
CHLOE: THAT'S NOT EXACTLY
WHAT I MEANT.
OH, MY.

CHLOE: CARLY, THANK YOU AGAIN
FOR PLANNING THIS.
CARLY: YOU KNOW WHAT?
I ACTUALLY REALLY ENJOYED IT.
THIS WAS REALLY FUN, YOU KNOW --
CHLOE: OH, GOOD, YES.
WILL YOU EXCUSE ME?
EMILY: I BROUGHT A CAMERA
TO TAKE PICTURES.
IS THAT OK?
CHLOE: OF COURSE.
EMILY: OK.
CHLOE: REGARDING THAT
DISCUSSION WE WERE HAVING
EARLIER, I THINK YOU LEFT
WITH THE WRONG IMPRESSION.
ALEXIS: HI, EMILY.
CHLOE: HEY.
EMILY: HEY.
WOULD YOU EXCUSE ME
FOR A MINUTE?
ALEXIS: WHERE'S GERTRUDE?
CHLOE: SOMETHING SUDDENLY
CAME UP ON THE WEST COAST.
ALEXIS: SO SHE'S NOT COMING?
CHLOE: I KEEP FEELING LIKE
I AM BEING SET UP, SO IT'S
PROBABLY A GOOD THING THAT EMILY
BROUGHT HER CAMERA.
IF UNCLE HERBERT KNEW THE HOOPS
HIS WILL IS MAKING ME GO THROUGH
IN ORDER TO KEEP MY COMPANY.
OH.
DID YOU SEE THE ENGAGEMENT RING
THAT NED GAVE ME?

BOBBIE: OK, LET ME SEE
IF I'VE GOT THIS STRAIGHT.
NED'S VERY RECENT EX-GIRLFRIEND
IS NOW MARRIED TO JAX AND IS
ACTING AS MATRON OF HONOR
TO NED'S NEW FIANCEE.
MONICA: I KNOW.
BOBBIE: YOU KNOW, I WOULD SAY
THAT ALL GOT BRAIN FRIED
ON THE SAHARA, BUT CHLOE WASN'T
THERE AND JERRY WAS AND HE SEEMS
FINE.
MONICA: IT'S THIS HOUSE.
TWO MONTHS AGO, WHEN
SHE ARRIVED, SHE WAS NORMAL.
[BOBBIE LAUGHS]

CHLOE: OH --
FELICIA: CHLOE.
GOSH, IS THIS CRAZY OR WHAT?
CHLOE: THIS IS CRAZY.
DID BOBBIE MENTION THAT YOU WERE
TRAPPED SOMEWHERE?
FELICIA: OH, YEAH,
THAT'S A LONG STORY.
I KEPT GETTING YOUR MESSAGES.
I THOUGHT YOU WERE KIDDING.
CHLOE: NO.
NO, THAT'S JUST ME BEING
A HOPELESS ROMANTIC
AND FOLLOWING MY HEART.
EVEN THOUGH EVERYONE PROBABLY
THINKS THAT NED IS JUST
ON THE REBOUND.
40 YEARS FROM NOW, I WILL GIVE
YOU ALL THE DETAILS AND YOU CAN
WRITE A MEMOIR.
FELICIA: AH.
CHLOE: HOW ARE LILA'S COMING?
FELICIA: OH, WELL, I GOT
A LITTLE OFF TRACK, BUT I THINK
I'M BACK ON NOW.
IS SHE GOING TO BE HERE?
CHLOE: SHE IS SAVING UP
HER STRENGTH FOR THE WEDDING
ON FRIDAY.
FELICIA: OH.
CHLOE: I JUST HOPE THIS ISN'T
A BURDEN TO HER.
THE LAST THING I WANT TO DO IS
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF LILA.
FELICIA: OH. YEAH.
I UNDERSTAND.
CARLY: OK, SO, EVERYBODY,
WHY DON'T WE HAVE SEATS AND LET
CHLOE OPEN HER PRESENTS,
A LITTLE SOMETHING, MAYBE?
EMILY: OK.
CHLOE: ALL RIGHT.
BOBBIE: OK.
ALEXIS: EXCUSE ME.
CHLOE: WILL YOU WRITE DOWN
WHO GAVE WHAT?
ALEXIS: OH.
DOCUMENTS FOR GERTRUDE?
CHLOE: MM-HMM.
FIRST OF ALL, I JUST WANT TO SAY
THERE ARE NO WORDS TO EXPRESS
HOW MUCH THIS MEANS TO ME.
I HAVE BEEN IN PORT CHARLES
FOR SUCH A SHORT TIME.
I CAN'T BELIEVE I ALREADY HAVE
ENOUGH FRIENDS TO HAVE A SHOWER.
AND SPECIAL THANKS GO TO CARLY
FOR DOING SUCH AN ASTONISHING
JOB OF PUTTING THIS ALL
TOGETHER.
CARLY: MM-HMM.
CHLOE: OK, WHERE SHOULD
I START?
FELICIA: HOW ABOUT WITH ME?
CHLOE: OH, FELICIA.
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL.
AND VERY EASY.
OH.
BOBBIE: WOW.
FELICIA: SEXY.
ALEXIS: WHOA.
NED'LL LOVE THAT.

JEWELER: THE ENAMEL INLAY
IN THIS ONE IS, OF COURSE,
HAND WORKED BY MASTER ARTISTS
IN FLORENCE FOLLOWING A SECRET
PROCESS THAT DATES BACK
TO THE 1500s.
THE STONES IN THIS CHANNEL BAND
CAN BE REPLACED BY FAMILY
JEWELS --
JAX: THAT'S TOO OSTENTATIOUS
FOR CHLOE, THAT ONE.
NED: ALL RIGHT.
WHAT ABOUT THIS ONE?
JAX: SEE, CHLOE LIKES
HER JEWELRY VERY REFINED
AND VERY, VERY PLAIN AND SIMPLE.
LIKE A BACH MINUET.
NED: OK.
HOW ABOUT THIS ONE?
JAX: THAT ONE WON'T MATCH
THAT SAPPHIRE THAT I PICKED OUT.
JEWELER: WHEN ARE
YOU AND CHLOE GETTING MARRIED?
NED: NO.
HE'S ALREADY MARRIED.
I'M MARRYING CHLOE.
JAX: YES, HE'S MARRYING
CHLOE, BUT, YOU KNOW, WHILE I'VE
GOT YOU HERE, DID YOU BRING
ANYTHING BESIDES WEDDING BANDS,
LIKE, PERHAPS, SOME NICE
EARRINGS OR SOME NECKLACES OR --
NED: WHY?
JAX: WELL, YOU KNOW, I JUST
THOUGHT IT WOULD BE NICE TO BUY
MY NEW BRIDE SOMETHING.
JEWELER: ALWAYS AN EXCELLENT
IDEA.
I DID BRING SOME OTHER ITEMS.
NED: I DON'T THINK YOUR WIFE
NEEDS ANYTHING FROM YOU, JAX.
JAX: YOU HAVE ANYTHING
IN RUBIES?
NED: ALEXIS HATES RUBIES.
JAX: OH.
THEN WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST I GET
FOR MY WIFE?

NURSE: "SHE MADE A SOFT
SOUND, ALMOST A PROTEST,
AS HIS MOUTH MOVED TO
THE FRAGILE RUFFLE OF
HER BODICE.
SOPHIE HELD HER BREATH,
THINKING SURELY SHE WOULD DROWN
IN THE INTIMACY OF HIS TOUCH."
SEE, I TOLD YOU IT WOULD GET
BETTER AROUND PAGE 100.
[DOOR OPENS]
NURSE: OH, MS. BELL.
KATHERINE: HOW IS SHE?
NURSE: THE SAME.
KATHERINE: I'D LIKE SOME TIME
ALONE WITH HER, IF I MAY.
NURSE: YES.
KATHERINE: THANK YOU.
HELLO.
I'M NOT EVEN SURE WHY I'M HERE.
I SUPPOSE IT'S BECAUSE THERE'S
NO ONE LEFT I CAN SHARE THIS
WITH.
I'M AFRAID I'VE LOST NIKOLAS.
HE'S BEEN DRIFTING AWAY FOR SOME
TIME, AND --
I CAN'T LET HIM GO.
I REALIZE THAT NO ONE BELIEVES
THAT I COULD HAVE TRUE FEELINGS
FOR HIM.
BUT I DO.
THERE MUST BE A WAY TO HOLD
ON TO HIM.
WHAT WOULD YOU ADVISE ME TO DO?
STEFAN: I'M AFRAID
MY MOTHER'S DAYS OF GIVING
ADVICE ARE OVER.

LUKE: THANKS, CLAUDE.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
LUKE: COME IN.
HELLO, SWEETNESS.
MY PRINCESS!
CLAUDE: DON'T WORRY.
I'LL HOLD DOWN THE FORT.
YOU HAVE A GOOD TRIP.
LUKE: THANK YOU, CLAUDE.
HEY, LITTLE MISS MUFFET.
WHERE'S YOUR TUFFET?
WHAT IS A TUFFET?
LESLEY LU: I DON'T KNOW.
LUKE: YOU DON'T?
LAURA: ARE YOU GOING
SOMEWHERE?
LUKE: YEAH.
I JUST NEEDED TO SAY GOOD-BYE
TO MY LITTLE PRINCESS AND TELL
HER THAT I LOVE HER AND I'M JUST
GOING TO TAKE OFF FOR A LITTLE
WHILE.
LAURA: LULU, YOU KNOW WHAT?
MOMMY WANTS TO TALK TO DADDY
ALONE FOR A MINUTE SO -- IS
THAT OK?
LUKE: OH, YEAH.
LAURA: COME ON, SWEETIE.
LUKE: YEAH.
LAURA: WHY DON'T WE ASK
CLAUDE TO MAKE YOU ONE OF THOSE
SHIRLEY TEMPLES THAT YOU LOVE
SO MUCH.
DOES THAT SOUND GOOD?
CLAUDE?
LAURA: DOES IT FEEL
AS STRANGE TO YOU AS IT DOES
TO ME THAT WE'RE SO OUT
OF TOUCH?

LAURA: SO, BOBBIE TOLD ME
THAT YOU WERE LOCKED IN A CRYPT.
SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING WE WOULD
HAVE DONE.
WHAT WERE YOU DOING?
LUKE: THE USUAL.
I WAS HELPING FELICIA SCORPIO,
AND WE GOT STUCK.
LAURA: I GUESS MAC MUST HAVE
BEEN WORRIED SICK.
LUKE: WE WERE FINE.
LAURA: YEAH.
HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I HEARD THAT
BEFORE?
WELL,
LULU REALLY DEPENDS ON YOU.
TRY TO KEEP THAT IN MIND WHEN
YOU'RE DOING ALL THAT STUFF, OK?
THIS TRIP THAT YOU'RE
GOING ON NOW,
SHOULD I ASK?
LUKE: IT'S NOTHING.
I'M GOING TO BE FINE.
IT'S NOTHING.
LAURA: LULU REALLY NEEDS YOU.
DON'T --
LUKE: LAURA, I HAVE TO KEEP
MOVING RIGHT NOW.
LAURA: OK.
I UNDERSTAND.
I'M SORRY.
LUKE: I'M SORRY.
LAURA: YOU KNOW, I WAS
TELLING LULU JUST THE OTHER
NIGHT THAT I THINK YOU WERE BORN
A GYPSY KING.
SHE REALLY LIKED THAT.
LUKE: HOW ARE YOU DOING?
LAURA: I'M FINDING MY WAY.
LUKE: HELLO, MY SWEETIE.
DID CLAUDE FIX YOU UP?
DID HE, DID HE?
HOW ABOUT GIVING YOUR OLD PAPA
A KISS RIGHT HERE?
OH!
DID I SAY THERE?
I THINK I MEANT HERE.
WHOO!
HOW ABOUT OVER HERE?
OH, 1,000 SWEET KISSES,
1,000 SWEET KISSES.
DO YOU NEED MONEY?
LAURA: NO.
LUKE: WELL, IF ANYTHING COMES
UP AND YOU DO --
LAURA: IT WON'T.
THE ACCOUNT'S ALWAYS GOT MONEY
IN IT.
WHEN ARE YOU TAKING OFF?
LUKE: THIS AFTERNOON.
YOU PROMISE TO TAKE CARE
OF YOUR MOMMY FOR ME?
LULU, I LOVE YOU.
LESLEY LU: I LOVE YOU, TOO.
LUKE: I KNOW.
I KNOW.
LAURA: OK, SWEETIE.
WELL, TRAVEL SAFELY.
LUKE: OK.
LAURA: BYE-BYE.
LUKE: BYE-BYE.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
LUKE: YEAH?
FAISON: I THOUGHT THIS
ESTABLISHMENT WAS A BAR.
LUKE: IT IS.
WHY?
FAISON: JUST A MOMENT AGO,
I SAW THE MOST BEAUTIFUL LITTLE
KID TALKING TO THE BARTENDER.
LUKE: MY DAUGHTER.
WE DON'T CARD HER.
SHE CARRIES FAKE I.D.
FAISON: SO YOU HAVE
A DAUGHTER, TOO.
YOU MUST BE VERY PROUD
OF YOUR FAMILY.

KATHERINE: I IMAGINE
YOU ALREADY KNOW THAT NIKOLAS
AND I HAVE BROKEN THINGS OFF.
STEFAN: MY ONLY SURPRISE IS
THAT IT TOOK NIKOLAS THIS LONG
TO COME TO HIS SENSES.
KATHERINE: BELIEVE IT OR NOT,
STEFAN, I LOVE NIKOLAS.
AND I'M GLAD FOR MY TIME
WITH HIM.
AND IF IT IS OVER, AT LEAST
I KNOW THAT I LOVED HIM
FOR HIMSELF, NOT AS A PRINCE,
NOT AS AN HEIR.
I DON'T THINK YOU EVER LOVED HIM
AT ALL.
YOU LOOK AT HIM AS JUST
AN EXTENSION OF YOURSELF, A WAY
TO FURTHER THE GREAT CASSADINE
GLORY, WHICH IS REALLY A SHAME,
ESPECIALLY BECAUSE IN ALL
THE WAYS HE ISN'T LIKE YOU,
HE'S A REMARKABLE PERSON.
STEFAN: WELL, MOTHER --
STEFAN: YOU REALLY SHOULD
HAVE CHOSEN A MORE CAPABLE ALLY.
I'M AFRAID KATHERINE WILL NEVER
KNOW THE TRUE NATURE
OF YOUR ILLNESS.

STEFAN: MOTHER,
I'LL BE AWAY FOR A FEW DAYS
IN EUROPE.
I'M CONSOLIDATING MY HOLD
ON THE FAMILY ESTATE.
LIEVED TO BE DEALING WITH ME
AGAIN.
OH, I KNOW.
I KNOW WHAT YOU WANT.
OF COURSE, SHOULD TIME ALLOW,
I WILL STOP BY THE CLINIC
AND CHK ON THE PROGRESS
WITH THE ANTIDOTE FOR
YOUR CONDITION.
ALTHOUGH, I MUST SAY IT'S NOT
HIGH ON MY PRIORITY LIST.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
LAURA: AM I INTERRUPTING?
STEFAN: NO.
NEVER.
I WAS JUST ADVISING MY
MOTHER ABOUT MY TRIP.

LUKE: WELL, THAT SHOULD
DO IT.
I'LL BE IN TOUCH.
FAISON: WHEN?
LUKE: WHEN THE PHONE RINGS
AND IT'S ME.
FAISON: I SUPPLY YOU WITH ALL
THIS CASH, AND YOU EXPECT ME
TO AUE ASSURANCE
THAT YOU WILL CALL ME
"SOMETIME"?
MR. SPENCER, I REQUIRE A RETURN
DATE AND A PHONE NUMBER WHERE
I CAN REACH YOU, SHOULD IT BE
NEEDED.
LUKE: HERR KRIEG,
YOU'RE OBSESSED WITH
MY WHEREABOUTS.
WHY IS THAT?
FAISON: I DON'T KNOW ABOUT
THAT.
BUT WHEN SOMEONE IS HOLDING
AS MUCH OF MY CASH AS YOU ARE,
I THINK IT COULD BE FORGIVEN
THAT I WANT A CERTAIN AMOUNT
OF REASSURANCE.
DON'T YOU THINK?
LUKE: FORGIVEN?
YOU DIDN'T CHECK ME OUT
VERY WELL.
FORGIVENESS IS NOT IN MY GAME.
I'LL BE IN TOUCH.
I'LL BE MOVING AROUND.
THAT'S THE BEST I CAN TELL YOU.
I WILL BE IN TOUCH.
I HOPE THAT THAT PUTS
YOUR ANXIETIES TO REST.
FAISON: SO DO I.
I TRUST I WILL HEAR FROM YOU.
GOOD LUCK.

NED: IT LOOKS PLAIN TO ME.
NOW, ARE YOU SURE CHLOE WOULDN'T
WANT SOMETHING A LITTLE MORE
ELABORATE?
JAX: HAVEN'T YOU PAID ANY
ATTENTION TO YOUR BRIDE-TO-BE?
CHLOE'S ALWAYS ELEGANT,
ALWAYS UNDERSTATED, JUST LIKE
HER DESIGNS.
SHE WOULDN'T WANT SOMETHING
OSTENTATIOUS.
BUT IF YOU INSIST ON GETTING
HER STONES, THEN I SUGGEST
YOU GET HER SOME EARRINGS.
NED: LIKE THE ONES YOU BOUGHT
ALEXIS?
JAX: MY WIFE IS GOING TO LOVE
THESE.
THANKS FOR THE ADVICE.
NED: I STILL DON'T SEE WHY
YOU EVEN HAD TO BUY
HER ANYTHING.
JAX: OH, COME ON, NED.
I OWE HER.
ALEXIS HAS BEEN SUCH A GOOD
SPORT THROUGH ALL OF THIS.
I MEAN, PUTTING UP WITH
MY PARENTS AND MY MOTHER'S
HIKES.
AND SHE EVEN PUTS UP WITH JERRY.
YOU KNOW, ALL IN ALL,
YOU GIRLFRIEND HAS MADE
AN EXCELLENT WIFE.

CHLOE: "10 THINGS I'LL LOVE
ABOUT NED."
[LAUGHTER]
CHLOE: OH, I DON'T THINK I'LL
BE READING THIS ONE OUT LOUD.
FELICIA: I WAS GOING TO SAY.
CHLOE: OH, ALEXIS, THIS IS
BEAUTIFUL.
OH, CARLY, I'M SO GLAD YOU MADE
THIS A LINGERIE PARTY.
CARLY: ACTUALLY, I DIDN'T.
BUT I GUESS EVERYBODY JUST HAD
THE SAME IDEA.
IT HAPPENS SOMETIMES.
ALEXIS: LET ME TAKE THAT.
EMILY: OH, THERE'S ONE MORE,
FROM ME.
CHLOE: THANK YOU.
OH, EMILY.
ALEXIS: THAT'S BEAUTIFUL.
CHLOE: I LOVE IT.
IT IS SO ME.
EMILY: THAT'S EXACTLY WHY
I GOT IT FOR YOU.
MONICA: EMILY, IT'S
EXQUISITE.
WHERE DID YOU GET THAT?
FELICIA: IS IT VINTAGE?
EMILY: I GOT IT AT AN ESTATE
SALE.
IT'S FROM THE BRIDAL TROUSSEAU
OF A WOMAN WHO WAS MARRIED
TO HER HUSBAND FOR 70 YEARS.
AND HER GRANDDAUGHTER TOLD ME
HOW EVERY DAY OF EVERY YEAR
HE DID EVERYTHING HE COULD
TO COURT HER.
SO I GOT IT SORT OF
AS A GOOD-LUCK TOKEN
FOR YOU AND NED.
BOBBIE: YOU OK?
CARLY: YOU THINK THEY COULD
MAKE IT ANY CLEARER?
[LAUGHTER]
CARLY: CHLOE GETS LINGERIE
BECAUSE THEY'RE HAPPY FOR HER.
AND I GET LINGERIE BECAUSE I'M
A TRAMP.
AND I ALWAYS HAVE BEEN,
AND I ALWAYS WILL BE.
BOBBIE: EMILY IS THE ONLY ONE
WHO DID THAT TO YOU.
SHE WAS WRONG.
CARLY: IT'S NOT JUST THAT.
I MEAN, AT LEAST SHE GAVE ME
A PRESENT THAT HAD SOMETHING
TO DO WITH GETTING MARRIED.
EVERYBODY ELSE GAVE ME PRESENTS
FOR MICHAEL.
GUESS IT'S HARD TO KNOW WHAT
TO GET A GOLD DIGGER.
LADIES ARE OBVIOUSLY A LOT
EASIER TO BUY FOR.
AND EVERYONE'S SO HAPPY FOR HER.
YOU'RE HAPPY FOR HER,
AND YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW HER.
BOBBIE: CARLY, WHEN YOU HAD
YOUR SHOWER, YOU WERE PUTTING
ON AN ACT.
I MEAN, THE WHOLE THING WAS
A SHOW, YOU KNOW?
AND MAYBE THAT CAME ACROSS.
THERE WAS NO LOVE IN YOUR EYES
FOR A.J. AT YOUR SHOWER.
CARLY: YEAH.
IT'S NOT JUST THAT.
YOU KNOW WHAT IT REALLY IS,
WHAT IT'S REALLY ABOUT?
I GUESS I'M JUST SORT OF TIRED
OF BEING AN OUTSIDER.
BOBBIE: WELL, YOU'RE THE ONE
WHO PUT THE WALLS UP, SO WHO'S
THE BEST PERSON TO TAKE THEM
DOWN?
CARLY: YOU'RE RIGHT.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
I AM MRS. A.J. QUARTERMAINE,
AND LILA HERSELF ASKED ME
TO HOSTESS THIS SHOWER.
WHAT AM I DOING OUT HERE?
MONICA: ALL RIGHT,
NOW, DOES EVERYBODY HAVE
A GLASS?
FELICIA: GOOD, JUST IN TIME.
MONICA: OH.
FELICIA: THANK YOU.
HERE YOU ARE.
CARLY: THANKS.
BOBBIE: THANK YOU, FELICIA.
FELICIA: SURE.
GOT ONE FOR ME?
THANKS.
CARLY: SO, THANK YOU, MONICA.
CHLOE, ON BEHALF OF LILA
AND THE REST OF THE
QUARTERMAINES, WELCOME
TO THE FAMILY.

CHLOE: CARLY, THIS IS
SO SPECIAL.
I DIDN'T KNOW ANYONE ELSE EVEN
KNEW THIS DESIGNER.
CARLY: WELL, ACTUALLY,
I CALLED YOUR ASSISTANT --
THERESE? -- AND SHE WAS A BIG
HELP, SO --
CHLOE: YOU ARE AMAZING.
CARLY: WELL, THANK YOU.
CHLOE: AND THANK YOU FOR NOT
PLAYING ANY OF THOSE SILLY PARTY
GAMES WHERE YOU COUNT THE BOWS
I BROKE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
CARLY: RETARDED GAMES.
DO YOU REALLY LIKE IT?
CHLOE: IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
A.J.: IS IT SAFE TO COME
IN YET?
CHLOE: YES.
CARLY: HI.
A.J.: HI.
CHLOE, MAY I BORROW MY WIFE
FOR A MOMENT?
CHLOE: OF COURSE.
A.J.: THANK YOU.
EXCUSE ME.
CARLY: HELLO.
A.J.: LET'S GO OUTSIDE.
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY.
CARLY: OK.
A.J.: YOU LOOK FANTASTIC.
CARLY: THANK YOU.
A.J.: ALL RIGHTY.
SO, HOW'D IT GO?
CARLY: IT WENT REALLY GOOD,
I THINK.
A.J.: YEAH?
CARLY: YEAH.
WHY ARE YOU SO HAPPY?
WHAT'S WRONG?
A.J.: ALL RIGHT, THIS ONE
V.P. AT E.L.Q. --
CARLY: RIGHT.
A.J.: WHO THINKS THAT NED
SINGLE-HANDEDLY CREATED
THE WORLD MARKETS -- ANYWAY,
THIS GUY ALWAYS
SECOND-GUESSED ME.
SO TODAY, I FIRED HIM.
CARLY: NO!
A.J.: OH, YEAH.
I MEAN, IT WAS AMAZING HOW
EVERYONE ELSE FELL RIGHT
INTO PLACE JUST LIKE YOU THOUGHT
THEY MIGHT.
YOU KNOW, YOU REALLY DO HAVE
A GOOD SENSE ABOUT PEOPLE.
AND WITH MY POSITION, I THINK --
I THINK WE MAKE A FANTASTIC
TEAM.
CARLY: I THINK SO, TOO.
A.J.: I KNOW THAT I'VE SAID
THIS BEFORE, BUT IT'S TRUE.
I'VE NEVER HAD ANYONE ON MY SIDE
LIKE THIS -- SOMEONE WHO HAS
MY BEST INTEREST AT HEART.
CARLY: WELL, ISN'T THAT WHAT
A MARRIAGE IS SUPPOSED TO BE?
A.J.: I GUESS IT IS.
AND I GOT TO TELL YOU IT FEELS
GREAT.
I PROMISE, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE
IT ALL.
CARLY: YOU'RE RIGHT.
WE ARE.
CHLOE: FOR YOU.
ALEXIS: THIS IS FELICIA'S
GIFT TO YOU.
CHLOE: YOU'RE RIGHT.
AND NED WILL LOVE IT ON YOU.
ALEXIS: OH, ALL RIGHT.
CHLOE: ALEXIS, I REALIZE
TODAY THAT I AM NOT ONLY
BORROWING NED FROM YOU,
IT'S AS IF I'M TAKING PART
OF YOUR LIFE.
THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN
YOUR SHOWER.
YOU SHOULD BE MARRYING NED.
THIS SHOULD BE YOUR RING.
ALEXIS: THAT FRIGHTENS ME.
ALL OF THIS FRIGHTENS ME.
EVERY PERSON IN MY FAMILY MADE
THIS LOOK SO FRIGHTENING THAT
I CAN'T EVEN SAY IT.
M WORD.
SEE?
SO INSTEAD OF THINKING THAT I'M
THE ONE THAT SHOULD BE MARRYING
NED, WHY DON'T YOU THINK THAT
YOU'RE RESCUING ME FROM ALL
THE INSUFFERABLE PRESSURE
THEY PUT ON COUPLES TO BE
M-WORDED.
SEE, THIS WAY I GET 12 GLORIOUS
MONTHS TO ENJOY AND RELAX
AND HAVE THIS WONDERFUL
RELATIONSHIP WITH NED
BECAUSE I STILL HAVE HIS HEART,
AND SHOULD I SUSPECT THAT
YOU ARE TAKING IT, BE WARNED.
CHLOE: THAT WILL NEVER
HAPPEN.
ALEXIS: ALL RIGHT, GOOD.
THEN GO HAVE YOUR CEREMONIAL
TRAPPINGS, WHATEVER YOU WANT --
OR NEED, IN THIS CASE.
CHLOE: UNCLE HERBERT'S HEART
WAS IN THE RIGHT PLACE.
HE JUST DIDN'T WANT ME TO GET
SO CAUGHT UP IN MY CAREER THAT
I FORGOT ABOUT LOVE AND ROMANCE.
IF HE HAD ANY IDEA THAT THAT
CLAUSE IN HIS WILL WAS GOING
TO CAUSE SO MUCH CHAOS, HE NEVER
WOULD HAVE PUT IT THERE.
ALEXIS: IF UNCLE HERBERT WERE
SUCH A HOPELESS ROMANTIC,
HOW DID HE END UP WITH
AUNT GERTRUDE?
CHLOE: I AM BEGINNING
TO THINK THAT HOPELESS ROMANTICS
ALWAYS END UP WITH THE WRONG
PEOPLE.

JAX: ALL RIGHT, I'LL SEE
YOU IN THE MORNING.
THANKS, HOWARD.
YOU OWE ME.
NED: CONSIDER IT PART
OF YOUR DUTIES AS MY BEST MAN.
AND HERE'S ANOTHER ONE -- HANG
ON TO THIS.
AND AT THE CEREMONY ON FRIDAY,
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE IT.
JAX: I FORGET.
HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU ACTUALLY
DONE THIS?
NED: LET'S SEE -- DAWN,
JENNY, LOIS, KATHERINE,
LOIS AGAIN.
BUT THIS WILL BE MY FIFTH
FULL-TILT,
PULL-OUT-ALL-THE-STOPS WEDDING
CEREMONY.
JAX: IS CHLOE AWARE OF WHAT
AN ABSOLUTE FAILURE YOU ARE
AT THIS?
NED: YES, SHE IS.
AND SO IS ALEXIS.
AND IF I EVER GET MARRIED
FOR LOVE AGAIN, DO YOU WANT
TO KNOW HOW I'M GOING TO DO IT?
JAX: HOW?
NED: NICE AND SIMPLE.
JUST ME AND MY BRIDE.
DOESN'T THAT SOUND LIKE
A PERFECT WEDDING?
JAX: THE PERFECT WEDDING
FOR ME WOULD BE IN THE
MEDITERRANEAN ON A YACHT,
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT,
PERFORMED BY A MINISTER WHO'S
JUST WOKEN FROM A DEEP SLEEP,
WHO DOESN'T REALLY KNOW HOW
TO PRONOUNCE YOUR NAMES.

LAURA: MY MOM IS WATCHING
LULU, AND I DIDN'T WANT
YOU TO GO WITHOUT HAVING
A PROPER GOOD-BYE.
STEFAN: AND WHAT WOULD
YOU DEEM THAT TO BE?
LAURA: WELL, FOR ONE THING,
IT'S PRIVATE.
STEFAN: OH.
LAURA: COME ON.
LAURA: I KNOW I TOLD YOU THAT
I WOULD BE THINKING ABOUT
YOU WHILE YOU WERE GONE.
BUT I'M ALSO GOING TO BE
THINKING ABOUT US.
AND I DIDN'T WANT YOU TO GO
WITHOUT HEARING ME SAY HOW
GRATEFUL I AM FOR YOUR UNENDING
PATIENCE WITH ME.
AND I THINK THAT
WHEN YOU COME BACK --
STEFAN: DON'T.
DON'T SAY ANYTHING.
LAURA: I WANT YOU IN MY LIFE
FROM HERE ON IN.
THAT'S WHAT I'M COUNTING ON.
STEFAN: THAT'S ALL I'VE EVER
WANTED.
LUKE: SEE YOU AROUND, COWBOY.

FELICIA: CINDERELLA,
CINDERELLA
MADE A MISTAKE AND --
KISSED A SNAKE AND
HOW MANY DOCTORS
DID IT TAKE?
OH, NO!
TRY IT AGAIN.
READY?
AND ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR,
FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT.
MAXIE: OUCH!
FELICIA: OH, OUR MISTAKE,
OUR MISTAKE.
OK, LET'S TRY IT AGAIN.
START WITH ONE.
READY?
ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR,
FIVE, SIX, SEVEN --

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

ELIZABETH: I'M GLAD HE'S
THROWN YOU OUT OF HIS LIFE.
AND NIKOLAS IS, TOO.
SO WHY DON'T YOU JUST ACCEPT
THAT AND FIND SOMEBODY YOUR OWN
AGE TO SLEEP WITH?
