JAX: YOU WOULDN'T BE TRYING
TO MAKE A GETAWAY, WOULD YOU?
CHLOE: DO I HAVE THAT
FUGITIVE LOOK?
JAX: I THOUGHT BRIDES WERE
ALWAYS SURROUNDED BY A LOT
OF PEOPLE FUSSING OVER THEM.
BUT HERE YOU ARE.
CHLOE: HOW IS IT YOU ALWAYS
DO THIS?
JAX: DO WHAT?
CHLOE: KNOW WHEN I'M LOOKING
FOR YOU AND JUST APPEAR.
JAX: WELL, WHAT A COINCIDENCE
BECAUSE I WAS LOOKING FOR YOU.
THERE WAS SOMETHING I THOUGHT
I BETTER SAY WHILE I STILL HAVE
THE CHANCE.
GERTRUDE: "DEAR ALEXIS,
ON THE EVE OF MY WEDDING
TO ANOTHER WOMAN, ALL I CAN
THINK OF IS US."
OH, THE JIG IS UP, CHLOE.
I KNEW THIS WEDDING WAS A SHAM.
AND NOW I HAVE ALL THE PROOF
I NEED.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
ALEXIS: THE MINISTER IS
READY --
GERTRUDE: MY NIECE SEEMS
TO HAVE FLOWN THE COOP.
ALEXIS: CHLOE?
GERTRUDE: SHE'S NOT UNDER
THE BED.
I CHECKED.
ALEXIS: IS THERE SOMETHING
THAT YOU WANTED?
GERTRUDE: OH, WELL, YES --
TO GIVE HER THIS.
YOU KNOW, WE MAY HAVE
OUR DIFFERENCES, BUT SHE IS
FAMILY AND SHE'S ALL I HAVE LEFT
OF MY DEAR HERBERT, GOD REST
HIS SOUL.
AND I DO WANT HAPPINESS
FOR HER AS MUCH AS HE DID.
ALEXIS: WELL, I WOULD BE
HAPPY TO GIVE IT TO HER IF YOU'D
LIKE.
GERTRUDE: WELL, THANK YOU.
I KNOW I CAN CONFIDE IN YOU.
YOU DON'T THINK CHLOE'S HAD
SECOND THOUGHTS AND RUN OFF?
ALEXIS: RUN OUT ON HER OWN
WEDDING?
THAT CERTAINLY DOESN'T SOUND
LIKE CHLOE.
GERTRUDE: NO, NOT UNLESS
SHE HAS REASON TO DOUBT
THE GROOM'S AFFECTIONS OR HERS
FOR HIM.
OH -- NOW, WHY WOULD THAT
HAPPEN?
[GERTRUDE LAUGHS]

[TELEPHONE RINGS]
FELICIA: HELLO.
OH, NO.
NO, NO, YOU'RE NOT BOTHERING ME.
ONE MORE THING WHAT?
WHAT?
NO, I THINK THAT YOUR OLD
SWIMMING SUIT'S GOING TO BE JUST
FINE THIS YEAR.
OK.
ALL RIGHT.
BE GOOD FOR BETTY TONIGHT.
AND TELL GEORGIE I SAID THAT.
ALL RIGHT.
I LOVE YOU.
BYE.
FELICIA: HI.
BOBBIE: HI.
WOW!
FELICIA: WHAT?
BOBBIE: WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL
ME YOU WERE PLANNING TO LOOK
SO NICE?
FELICIA: WELL, I DON'T LOOK
NICE.
BOBBIE: YES, YOU DO.
YOU LOOK ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS.
FELICIA: THANK YOU.
BOBBIE: YOU'RE WELCOME.
AND I'M STUCK WORKING HERE UNTIL
TAMMY COMES, SO I'M NOT GOING
TO GET TO DO ANYTHING FUN
WITH MY HAIR.
I DIDN'T EVEN GET TO BUY ANY
SHOES.
I GOT TO WEAR THE SAME OLD SHOES
THAT I WORE TO CARLY'S WEDDING.
FELICIA: I DIDN'T KNOW
YOU WERE GOING TO THE WEDDING
FOR SURE.
BOBBIE: WELL, JAX IS BEST
MAN, SO JERRY'S GOING.
AND JERRY SAYS HE DOESN'T WANT
TO GO ANYWHERE NEAR
THE QUARTERMAINES WITHOUT
TRAINED ATTACK DOGS OR ME.
FELICIA: WHAT ABOUT LUKE?
BOBBIE: WELL, LUKE WOULD
PROBABLY MAKE A PRETTY GOOD
ATTACK DOG, BUT I DON'T THINK
HE'D MAKE A VERY GOOD DATE
FOR JERRY.
FELICIA: NO, THAT'S NOT WHAT
I MEANT.
HAVE YOU SPOKEN TO HIM SINCE
HE LEFT?
BECAUSE WHEN I SAID GOOD-BYE
TO HIM, I GOT THIS FUNNY FEELING
THAT HE WAS OFF TO DO SOMETHING
THAT WAS GOING TO CAUSE A LOT
OF TROUBLE.

MARIA: IT'S ALL RIGHT.
JASON: NO.
MARIA: I'M NOT GLASS.
I WON'T BREAK.
JASON: I KNOW.
YOU'RE GOOD TO ME, AND
I APPRECIATE THAT.
BUT --
MARIA: THERE'S SOMEONE ELSE.

CARLY: SONNY?
HEY, SONNY.
IT'S CARLY.
YOU KNOW, I WAS AT THE
WAREHOUSE, AND THEY JUST T/LR
Q @&CE%ERú
THAT JASON WAS AWAY, SO I WAS
JUST WONDERING IF YOU KNEW MAYBE
WHERE I MIGHT FIND HIM.
CARLY: THAT'S A NICE FRAME.
WHEN I USED TO STAY HERE, I HAD
TRIED TO FIND TWO JUST LIKE
IT -- ONE FOR JASON AND ONE
FOR MY MOTHER.
BUT
THE ONES I FOUND WEREN'T NEARLY
AS NICE.
DO YOU MIND IF I
SEE IT?
CAN I SEE IT?
SONNY: NO.

CARLY: IT'S BROKEN, SEE?
AND YOU COULD HURT YOURSELF.
AND I DON'T WANT YOU TO HURT
YOURSELF, OK?
I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
CARLY: FRANCIS,
I NEED YOU TO GO FIND BENNY
FOR ME.
FRANCIS: DID SONNY SAY WHERE
HE IS?
ALL I KNOW IS HE WENT TO SOME
MEETING SONNY COULDN'T MAKE.
CARLY: OK.
FIND JOHNNY, THEN.
HE'LL KNOW WHAT TO DO.
FRANCIS: JOHNNY WAS DOING
A JOB FOR BENNY.
THAT'S WHY I'M HERE.
IS SOMETHING WRONG?
CARLY: DID I SAY ANYTHING WAS
ONG?
NOTHING'S WRONG.
JUST GO AND FIND ONE OF THE TWO
OF THEM AND DON'T COME BACK
UNTIL YOU DO.
FRANCIS: I DON'T TAKE ORDERS
FROM YOU.
CARLY: DO I HAVE TO TELL
JASON THAT YOU GAVE ME A HARD
TIME?
IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?
CARLY: SONNY?
LISTEN, I'M JUST GOING TO OPEN
UP THE DRAPES A LITTLE BIT
AND LET IN SOME LIGHT
AND A LITTLE BIT OF SUNSHINE,
SOME FRESH AIR --
SONNY: HEY, WHAT THE HELL DO
YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?

JAX: WELL, CT
A LOW-LEVEL FRENZY FROM THE DEN,
BUT THERE'S NO SEARCH PARTY
COMBING THE ROSEBUSHES FOR YOU,
SO IT'S PROBABLY JUST THE LOW --
THE USUAL, YOU KNOW, FRENZY.
CHLOE: MAYBE I WON'T EVEN BE
MISSED.
JAX: NO, THIS IS NOT THAT
KIND OF WEDDING, I'M AFRAID.
SEE, I DON'T THINK ANYONE'S
QUITE CONVINCED THAT IT'S GOING
TO COME OFF.
THEY'RE ALL ON PINS AND NEEDLES.
BUT YOU SAID THAT YOU WERE
LOOKING FOR ME.
CHLOE: WELL,
I JUST WANTED TO SAY
THANK YOU FOR TODAY,
THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME SAVE
MY COMPANY, EVERYTHING THAT
I HAVE WORKED FOR.
TRUE, IT WAS NED'S BRAINCHILD,
BUT YOU WERE REALLY THE ONE WHO
MADE IT POSSIBLE.
JAX: HOW DID I DO THAT?
CHLOE: BY SAVING THE DAY
IN LAS VEGAS WHEN GERTRUDE CAME
HURDLING IN LIKE SOMETHING FIRED
FROM A BAZOOKA.
JAX: WELL, I THINK ALEXIS
DESERVES HALF THE CREDIT
FOR THAT.
I DON'T SEE THAT I'VE CHANGED
THE COURSE OF ANYTHING MUCH.
I MEAN, YOU HAD A PROBLEM.
YOU CAME UP WITH A CREATIVE
SOLUTION.
GOOD FOR YOU.
CHLOE: YOU SAID YOU HAD
SOMETHING YOU WANTED TO SAY
TO ME.
JAX: YEAH, YEAH.
WELL, I --
YOU KNOW, YOU'VE HEARD ME GIVE
NED A HARD TIME, AND I JUST
WANTED TO SAY THAT I THINK HE'S
AN HONORABLE --
WELL, I THINK "HONORABLE" MIGHT
BE PUSHING IT.
CHLOE: SO, YOU'RE TALKING
NICE BEHIND HIS BACK AGAIN.
ARE YOU SAYING YOU
APPROVE OF MY CHOICE?
JAX: YES.
DID I JUST YES?
EDWARD: CHLOE?
WHAT THE DEVIL ARE YOU DOING OUT
HERE -- AND WITH HIM, HUH?
SAY, THIS IS NO TIME TO BE
ANGLING FOR MORE VOTES
AT THE NEXT E.L.Q. BOARD
MEETING.
JAX: OH, WELL, YOU CAN'T
BLAME A GUY FOR TRYING.
I WISH YOU EVERY HAPPINESS.
EDWARD: I THINK YOU
AND I BOTH KNOW WHAT YOU REALLY
WANT, HUH?
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS SAY
THE WORD, AND I'LL THROW THEM
ALL OUT --
THE MINISTER, THE GUESTS,
AND THE MUSICIANS.
ALL OF THEM.
AND I'LL TELL THEM THAT THERE
ISN'T GOING TO BE A WEDDING.

BOBBIE: WELL, YOU KNOW,
LUKE OCCASIONALLY FEELS THE NEED
TO JUST TAKE OFF SOMEWHERE.
AND HE DOESN'T CL
AND HE WORRIES YOU TO DEATH,
BUT HE ALWAYS COMES BACK IN ONE
PIECE.
AND I DON'T THINK IT'S SO MUCH
THAT HE'S LOOKING FOR TROUBLE
AS THAT HE JUST KIND OF NEEDS
TO DO IT TO MAKE HIMSELF FEEL
ALIVE.
WORKING WITH YOU FOR A WHILE DID
THAT FOR HIM.
SO THANK YOU.
I JUST THINK, THOUGH,
THAT WITH EVERNG THAT'S
HAPPENED WITH LAURA AND LUCKY,
IT JUST HURTS TOO MUCH.
HE CAN'T SIT STILL, SO HE HAS
TO KEEP ON MOVING.
FELICIA: HMM.
SO THEN WHY DESERT THE PEOPLE
WHO CARE ABOUT HIM, YOU KNOW,
THE PEOPLE WHO REALLY WANT
TO HELP HIM?
BOBBIE: OH, BECAUSE
HE DOESN'T THINK OF IT THAT WAY.
HE THINKS THAT HE'S SPARING US
BY NOT INFLICTING HIMSELF
ON INNOCENT BYSTANDERS.
MAC: I THOUGHT I WAS GOING
TO BE PICKING YOU UP AT HOME.
HI, BOBBIE.
BOBBIE: HI, MAC.
FELICIA: BUSTED,
POLICE COMMISSIONER.
DID YOU COME HERE TO GORGE
YOURSELF ON COMFORT FOOD BEFORE
THE WEDDING?
MAC: OH, COME ON, WHO CAN
EVER REALLY EAT AT WEDDINGS,
RIGHT?
FELICIA: WELL, HOW ABOUT
A MUSHROOM HAMBURGER
FOR MY FINE, HANDSOME HUSBAND?
MAC: CAN WE EAT IT OUTSIDE?
FELICIA: SURE.
BOBBIE: OH, WELL, I'LL TELL
TAMMY --
TAMMY: HEY.
BOBBIE: AND I'LL SEE
YOU LATER AT THE QUARTERMAINES'.
HI.
FELICIA: HI THERE.
OK.
SEE YOU LATER.
FELICIA: YOU KNOW -- WAIT
A MINUTE.
I COULD HAVE SWORE I HAD
MY SUNGLASSES IN HERE SOMEWHERE.
MAC: BOY, I DON'T THINK YOU'D
LET ME WEAR SUNGLASSES
TO A WEDDING.
FELICIA: OH, FORGET IT.
LET'S GO SIT DOWN.
HOW ABOUT OVER HERE?
MAC: SO WHAT'S GOING
ON WITH LUKE?
YOU AREN'T EATING.
I MEAN, YOU MADE A SPECIAL TRIP
DOWN HERE TO SEE BOBBIE,
WHO YOU WILL BE SEEING SOON
AT THE WEDDING.
SO I'M SURE IT HAD TO BE TO ASK
HER ABOUT SOMETHING THAT
YOU JUST AS SOON I DIDN'T HEAR.
FELICIA: I WASN'T BEING
SNEAKY.
IT WAS JUST SOMETHING I DIDN'T
THINK THAT SHOULD BE DISCUSSED
AT THE QUARTERMAINES'.
I DIDN'T WANT TO WORRY BOBBIE.
THERE WAS SOMETHING ABOUT LUKE
WHEN HE TOOK OFF, WHEN I SAID
GOOD-BYE TO HIM, SOMETHING
STRANGE.
I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT IT WAS.
I DON'T KNOW WHY, BUT HE WAS
ACTING VERY ODD.
MAC: SURE YOU DO.
HE LOST HIS KID, FELICIA.
WHAT COULD BE MORE OF
A NIGHTMARE THAN THAT?
I MEAN, IT ALMOST HAPPENED
TO YOU, YOU KNOW, SO YOU OF ALL
PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW THAT HE'S
HALF OUT OF HIS MIND.
AND YOU FEEL FOR HIM.
AND YOU TRIED TO HELP, AND I'M
SURE YOU DID.
AND YOU COULD BE PROUD
OF YOURSELF FOR THAT.
BUT LUKE IS A PAIN IN THE BUTT,
YOU KNOW, AND MOST PEOPLE
WOULDN'T HAVE BOTHERED.
YOU KNOW, MAYBE IT'S TIME THAT
YOU STOP TRYING TO BE SOMETHING
FOR LUKE THAT YOU JUST CAN'T BE.

MAC: THIS IS NOT
AN ACCUSATION, OK?
YOU SEE SOMEONE WHO'S HURTING,
AND YOU WANT TO HELP.
IT'S NATURAL, IT'S HUMAN.
IT'S ONE OF THE THINGS I LOVE
ABOUT YOU.
BUT, YOU KNOW, SOME HURTS CANNOT
BE TAKEN AWAY NO MATTER HOW MUCH
YOU WANT TO MAKE IT BETTER
FOR SOMEONE ELSE.
FELICIA: I KNOW.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
MAC: FELICIA, LUKE IS A TOUGH
CUSTOMER, OK?
HE'LL BE FINE.
YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN SHARING
YOU WITH HIM FOR MONTHS.
AND RIGHT NOW, I'D LIKE TO BE
SELFISH AND HAVE YOU ALL
TO MYSELF AGAIN.
FELICIA: I'M SORRY.
I KNOW THAT I'VE BEEN
DISTRACTED.
AND IF YOU FEEL LIKE I'VE BEEN
NEGLECTING YOU --
MAC: WAIT. STOP.
HEY, DID I SAY I FELT NEGLECTED?
FELICIA, I WANT YOU TO HAVE
A MORE FULLER, MORE INTERESTING
LIFE WITH ME THAN YOU COULD EVER
POSSIBLY HAVE WITHOUT ME.
AND IF THAT MEANS CHASING OFF
ON SOME ADVENTURE EVERY NOW
AND THEN THAT I'M TOO BUSY TO GO
ON, THE MORE POWER TO YOU.
MAYBE IN BETWEEN WE COULD
CONCENTRATE ON BEING A FAMILY,
BEING A COUPLE.

EDWARD: HERE.
DRINK THIS.
JUST WATER.
IT'S SO HOT OUT THERE.
AND I DON'T WANT YOU TO FAINT
AT THE ALTAR.
IN FACT, WITH THIS HEAT,
I'M INSISTING THAT LILA STAY
INSIDE AND WATCH THE ENTIRE
PROCEEDINGS FROM HER
SITTING ROOM WINDOW.
BUT UNFORTUNATELY, THAT OPTION
DOESN'T WORK FOR THE BRIDE,
SO YOU BETTER DRINK UP.
CHLOE: I'M FINE,
EDWARD, REALLY.
EDWARD: NO, YOU'RE NOT.
YOU'RE A NERVOUS WRECK
BECAUSE YOU ARE MARRYING A MAN
THAT YOU DON'T LOVE.
CHLOE: PLEASE, DON'T INVOLVE
ME IN YOUR FEUD WITH NED.
EDWARD: OH.
YOU -- YOU ARE A DELIGHTFUL
YOUNG GIRL, BUT YOU'RE
A TERRIBLE LIAR.
YOU'RE MARRYING NED TO SAVE
YOUR COMPANY.
AND I CAN'T SAY THAT I DON'T
UNDERSTAND THAT.
BUT HAVE YOU EVER STOPPED
TO CONSIDER WHAT IT MIGHT BE
COSTING YOU IN THE LONG RUN?
WHILE YOU'RE EMBROILED IN THIS
FARCE OF A MARRIAGE, YOU COULD
BE LETTING YOUR ONE TRUE CHANCE
AT LOVE PASS YOU BY.
IN ORDER TO FULFILL THE TERMS
OF YOUR ECCENTRIC UNCLE'S WILL,
YOU HAVE TO "STAY HAPPILY
MARRIED" TO NED FOR ONE YEAR.
NOW, YOU TELL ME WHAT MAN,
NO MATTER HOW SMITTEN HE MIGHT
BE, IS WILLING TO WAIT THAT
LONG?
ONE FULL YEAR BEFORE YOU FEEL
SAFE ENOUGH TO SAY THAT YOU'LL
RETURN HIS AFFECTION.
NOW, IF THERE WERE SOMEONE
FOR WHOM YOU TRULY CARED,
WOULD YOU REALLY THROW
EVERYTHING AWAY JUST TO GET
AHEAD FINANCIALLY?
CHLOE: I WOULD NEVER DO THAT.
EDWARD: WELL, I SHOULD
HOPE NOT.
YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT
I'M THE MOST RUTHLESS
AND COLD-BLOODED PERSON ALIVE.
AND I WON'T DISPUTE IT.
IT MAY BE SO.
BUT EVEN I RECOGNIZE THE FACT
THAT LOVE HAS A VALUE THAT
NOTHING ELSE CAN EQUAL.
AND TO TRADE IT AWAY
FOR SOMETHING AS PLEASANT
AS MONEY WOULD NOT ONLY
BE FOOLISH,
IT WOULD BE A TRAGEDY.
CHLOE: OF COURSE IT WOULD.
EDWARD: WELL, I'M GOING TO GO
CHECK ON LILA.
YOU REMEMBER WHAT I SAID, HONEY.
ALL RIGHT?

ALAN: OH, OH, OH!
WHAT -- WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
ARE YOU WRECKING THE FLOWERS?
EMILY: I'M NOT WRECKING
ANYTHING.
ALAN: HEY, I WAS KIDDING.
CAN'T WE JOKE ANYMORE?
WHAT, WE CAN'T BE PALS?
ILY: DO PALS HOLD EACH
OTHER PRISONER?
MONICA: WELL, I THINK THERE'S
A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BEING
GROUNDED AND BEING A PRISONER.
EMILY: I KNOW, MOM.
MONICA: I MEAN, FIRST OF ALL,
THE FOOD IS MUCH BETTER,
AND SECOND OF ALL, YOU'LL GET
YOUR PRIVILEGES BACK AS SOON
AS WE KNOW YOU CAN BE TRUSTED
WITH THEM.
EMILY: LOOK, I'M GOING TO BE
THE PERFECT GUEST TONIGHT, OK?
EXCUSE ME.
MONICA: SOMETHING IS MISSING.
SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY MISSING.
THIS IS ALL GOING ALONG WAY TOO
SMOOTHLY.
ALAN: I FEEL LIKE SUCH
AN OGRE.
MONICA: WELL, GO RIGHT AHEAD.
I DON'T.
A.J.: EXCUSE ME.
MONICA: HI.
A.J.: HI.
HAVE EITHER OF YOU SEEN CARLY?
SHE HAD TO RN ERRAND
FOR GRANDMOTHER, AND SHE'S NOT
BACK YET.

CARLY: SONNY -- SONNY --
SONNY: JOHNNY?
FRANCIS?
WHERE THE HELL IS EVERYBODY?
CARLY: I DON'T -- I DON'T --
SONNY: WHAT DID YOU DO?
CARLY: I DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
SONNY: I TOLD JOHNNY NOT
TO LET ANYBODY IN.
WHERE IS HE?
WHERE IS HE?
CARLY: I DON'T KN
I THOUGHT IT WAS STRANGE
AND SO I SENT --
SONNY: YOU WHAT?
CARLY: BENNY TO FIND HIM.
SONNY: SINCE WHEN DO YOU GIVE
MY MEN ORDERS?
CARLY: WELL, MAKE U
YOUR MIND.
DO YOU WANT JOHNNY FOUND
OR DON'T YOU?
SONNY: DON'T TELL ME WHAT
TO DO WITH MY MIND!
CARLY: FINE.
SONNY: I WANT YOU TO GET OUT
OF HERE RIGHT NOW!
CARLY: FINE!
AS SOON AS FRANCIS GETS BACK,
I'LL LEAVE.
SONNY: WHAT, ARE YOU CRAZY?
HUH?
CAN YOU HEAR ME?
ALL RIGHT, IS THIS WHAT
YOU WANT?
HUH?
YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING UNLESS
THERE'S SOMETHING IN IT FOR YOU.
TAKE THE MONEY AND GET OUT
OF HERE!
TAKE IT!
ALL RIGHT, FORGET IT, THEN.
CARLY: YEAH, I NEED
THE NUMBER TO THE PLACE
CALLED --
SONNY: NOW WHAT THE HELL DO
YOU THINYOU'RE DOING?
CARLY: THANKS.
OBVIOUSLY, YOU HATE MY GUTS.
THE FEELING'S MUTUAL.
I THOUGHT I WOULD CALL MIKE.
SONNY: YOU THOUGHT?
YOU THOUGHT WRONG, LITTLE GIRL.
CARLY: OK.
FINE.
SONNY: I DON'T THINK YOU'RE
LISTENING TO ME.
HEY!
HEY!
I TOLD YOU TO PUT THE PHONE
DOWN!

CARLY: YOU SAID NOT TO CALL
MIKE, AND I WASN'T.
I WAS CALLING MY MOTHER.
SONNY: YOUR MOTHER?
CARLY: YEAH.
SONNY: YOUR MOTHECAN'T HELP
YOU NOW.
YOU KNOW WHAT I COULD DO TO YOU?
YOU KNOW WHAT I'D LIKE TO DO
TO YOU?
CARLY: I'M NOT AFRAID OF YOU.
SONNY: THEN YOU'RE EVEN
DUMBER THAN I THOUGHT.
CARLY: FINE.
YOU HATE ME, YOU THINK I'M A LOW
CREATURE THAT CRAWLS ON MY BELLY
ON THE EARTH?
THAT'S FINE.
THAT'S NOT NEWS TO ME.
BUT YOU'D NEVER TOUCH ME.
SONNY: WHY'S THAT?
CARLY: BECAUSE JASON
LOVES ME.
I'M IMPORTANT TO HIM.
I'M MICHAEL'S MOTHER.
AND EVEN IF YOU DON'T GET IT,
YOU RESPECT IT.
GOD KNOWS THAT THE FACT THAT
HE WORSHIPS THE GROUND THAT
YOU WALK ON IS THE ONLY REASON
THAT I DON'T WALK OUT OF HERE
AND LET YOU WALLOW IN
YOUR FILTH.
LET ME CALL BOBBIE.
SONNY: FOR WHAT?
CARLY: BECAUSE SHE'S A NURSE.
SHE MIGHT KNOW WHAT TO DO.
SONNY: ABOUT WHAT?
CARLY: ABOUT YOU, SONNY.
LOOK AT YOURSELF, MAN.
LOOK AT THIS PLACE.
YOU CAN'T BE SO FAR GONE THAT
YOU DON'T GET THIS IS NOT HOW
PEOPLE LIVE.
SONNY: HOW DO THEY?
BECAUSE I'D LIKE TO GET THE HANG
OF IT BECAUSE THE PEOPLE I LOVE
USUALLY DIE BEFORE I GET
A CHANCE TO SEE HOW IT'S DONE,
YOU KNOW?
WHY IS THAT?
CARLY: I DON'T KNOW.
SONNY: SOMETIMES THEY DON'T
DIE, YOU KNOW.
THEY ONLY GET MAIMED.
THEY LIE THERE, COVERED
WITH BRUISES.
YOU KNOW, THEY CAN'T MOVE
BECAUSE THEY'RE IN SUCH
EXCRUCIATING PAIN.
THEN THEY LOOK UP AT ME.
YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY?
CARLY: WHAT?
SONNY: "WHY DON'T
YOU LOVE ME?
WHY DON'T YOU LOVE ME,
SONNY?"
SONNY: LEAVE IT.
CARLY: I'M JUST -- I'M JUST
GOING TO PICK UP A LITTLE --
SONNY: DON'T.
CARLY: FINE.
SONNY: I REDECORATED.
YEAH.
IT'S KIND OF NICE.
SOMETHING WE HAVE IN COMMON.
YOU LIKE IT?
CARLY: NO.
SONNY: WHY NOT?
I MEAN, I ADMIT LILY WOULD HAVE
DONE A BETTER JOB.
YOU KNOW, SHE WOULD HAVE MADE IT
A THING OF BEAUTY, JUST LIKE
SHE WANTED OUR LIFE TO BE,
YOU KNOW?
BUT I'LL TELL YOU WHAT --
IT'S BETTER THIS WAY
BECAUSE WHEN YOU OPEN THE DOOR,
YOU KNOW, YOU SEE THE TRUTH.
EVERYTHING SONNY CORINTHOS
TOUCHES, HE DESTROYS.
SOMETHING ELSE WE GOT IN COMMON,
HUH?

[MUSIC PLAYS]
EDWARD: GERTRUDE, I SHOULD
HAVE TOLD YOU EARLIER --
YOU LOOK LOVELY THIS AFTERNOON.
GERTRUDE: OH, YOU FLATTERER.
EDWARD: OH, NO, NO.
NO, I MEAN IT.
SOMETIMES YOU LOOK LIKE
A SOURPUSS, BUT NOT TODAY.
SO THAT MEANS, I GUESS,
THAT YOU HAVE HIGH HOPES
FOR THIS AFTERNOON.
I KNOW I DO.
GERTRUDE: IF I ASKED TO WHAT
YOU ARE REFERRING, WILL I BE
COMPLIMENTED OR INSULTED AGAIN?
EDWARD: OH, COME ON.
YOU'RE TOO TOUCHY.
A WIDOW LIVING ON A DEAD MAN'S
MONEY SHOULD BE MORE REALISTIC,
HUH?
LIKE CHLOE IS.
YOU KNOW, YOU DON'T DO
HER JUSTICE.
SHE'S A CLEVER YOUNG WOMAN WHOSE
HARD WORK YOU'RE TRYING TO CASH
IN ON.
SO WHY SHOULDN'T SHE RESENT IT?
WHY SHOULDN'T SHE TRY
TO PREVENT YOU?
GERTRUDE: WELL, IF THAT'S HOW
YOU FEEL --
EDWARD: THIS IS HOW I FEEL --
YOU'RE THE LESSER OF TWO EVILS.
YEAH, BETTER YOU THAN
MY UNSCRUPULOUS GRANDSON CASHING
IN ON HER SUCCESS.
NOW, LOOK, I THREW NED OUT
OF E.L.Q. TO TEACH HIM A LESSON,
AND I'LL BE DAMNED IF I'LL LET
HIM PULL HIMSELF UP USING
CHLOE'S BOOTSTRAPS.
AND SO I HAD A LITTLE
HEART-TO-HEART WITH YOUR NIECE.
AND I FEEL FAIRLY CONFIDENT
IN SAYING THAT SHE WON'T BE ABLE
TO GO THROUGH WITH THIS MOCKERY
OF A MARRIAGE THAT WE'RE ALL
ASSEMBLED TO SEE.
GERTRUDE: WELL, I'M SURE
YOU WERE VERY PLAINSPOKEN
AND PERSUASIVE, AS IS YOUR WAY.
BUT I ALWAYS FEEL IT'S WISE
TO HAVE INSURANCE.
EDWARD: OH.
OH, HERE COMES THE MINISTER.
WE BETTER GET READY.
NED: NOW?
ALEXIS: NO, LET THEM PLAY
WHATEVER MUSIC THEY'RE
PLAYING NOW.
I NEED TO BORROW THE BEST MAN.
JAX: OH.
CHLOE: DO YOU HAVE A LITTLE
VOICE THAT TELLS YOU THINGS?
FELICIA: YES.
I CALL IT MAXIE.
IN FACT, I HAVE TWO OF THEM.
CHLOE: NO, NO.
A LITTLE VOICE IN YOUR HEART
OR IN YOUR HEAD OR IN
YOUR CONSCIENCE OR SOMEWHERE
UNLOCATABLE LIKE THAT THAT
ISSUES WARNINGS AND MINOR
DIRECTIVES.
AND IF YOU DON'T PAY ATTENTION,
IT'S AT YOUR OWN PERIL.
AND IF YOU DON'T, IT BECOMES
THIS WILD, LOUD LOCOMOTIVE
IN YOUR EAR.
JAX: WHAT'S THE EMERGENCY?
CHLOE: EVERY BRIDE KNOWS
SHE SHOULD HAVE TWO PAIR
OF SHOES.
I TELL ALL MY CLIENTS THAT.
AND I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING
IN MY CLOSET THAT WILL MATCH.
AND IF I GO BAREFOOT, MY SKIRT
WON'T HANG RIGHT.
JAX: ALLOW ME.
FELICIA: SEE?
JAX TO THE RESCUE.
ON MY WEDDING DAY, I DIDN'T EVEN
KNOW I WAS GETTING MARRIED,
AND SOMEBODY ELSE WORE MY SHOES.
I MEAN, WE TRADED SHOES,
ACTUALLY.
YOU'RE GOING TO BE JUST FINE.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.
GOOD LUCK.
CHLOE: THANK YOU.
FELICIA: OK.
CHLOE: I FEEL QUITE OUT
OF MY HEAD, AS IF I MIGHT
INFLICT A FATAL WOUND
ON SOMEONE.
ALEXIS: SPEAKING OF POTENTIAL
CANDIDATES, YOUR AUNT GERTRUDE
DROPPED OFF A PRESENT UPSTAIRS.
LET ME GO GET IT.
CHLOE: IT'S HOPELESS,
ISN'T IT?
JAX: NO, IT'S AS GOOD AS NEW.
CHLOE: HOW DO YOU DO THAT?
JAX: WELL, IT'S ALL
IN THE WRIST.
SHOES AREN'T VERY COMPLICATED.
FOOT, PLEASE.
CHLOE: I DON'T THINK IT
WILL DO.
I THINK I'LL GET HALFWAY UP THAT
AISLE AND SOMETHING WILL BREAK
AND EVERYTHING WILL BE RUINED.
JAX: WELL, THEN I THINK
WE BETTER TEST THAT HEEL,
DON'T YOU?
JAX: THERE.
YOU SEE?
IT'S ALL FIXED.
CHLOE: I'M JUST BEING
FOOLISH, AREN'T I?
JAX: YOU KNOW I'D FIX
ANYTHING FOR YOU IF I COULD,
DON'T YOU?
CHLOE: I JUST WISH I WOULD
STOP BREAKING THINGS.
JAX: WELL, SOMETIMES THAT
CAN'T BE HELPED.
SO, HOW'S THAT FEEL?
IS THAT OK?
CHLOE: PERFECT.
JAX: ALL RIGHT, THEN,
I'LL SEE YOU IN THE GARDEN.

[PROCESSIONAL PLAYS]
NED: READY?
CHLOE: LOOK AT ALL THESE
PEOPLE.
I BETTER BE.
NED: LET'S GO.
JUAN: YOU CAN'T BE
MY GIRLFRIEND.
EMILY: WHY NOT?
AM I FIRED?
JUAN: SHE'S NOT ALLOWED
TO COME SEE ME.
EMILY: WELL, MAYBE
HER COUSIN'S GETTING MARRIED
AND EVERYONE'S TOO BUSY BRUSHING
THEIR HAIR TO REALIZE THAT SHE'S
GONE.
JUAN: BESIDES, YOU LOOK LIKE
AN ANGEL FROM HEAVEN.
EMILY: I BROUGHT YOU THIS
FROM THE WEDDING.
JUAN: THAT'S REALLY NICE,
BUT --
EMILY: BUT WHAT?
JUAN: BUT WHY DIDN'T
YOU BRING ME SOME FOOD?
HAVE YOU SEEN WHAT THEY EXPECT
ME TO EAT?
EMILY: YOU POOR BABY.
YOU MUST REALLY WANT TO GET OUT
OF HERE.
JUAN: AS SOON AS THEY SAY
I CAN GO, MY FATHER'S TAKING ME
BACK TO PUERTO RICO.

MARIA: YOU LOOK LIKE SOMEBODY
WHO'S LEAVING.
JASON: YEAH, I ALWAYS LOOK
LIKE THAT.
DID I HURT YOUR FEELINGS?
MAN.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY I'M HERE.
I GOT ON MY BIKE, RODE
TO THE AIRPORT.
NEXT THING I KNEW, I WAS
WATCHING THE SUNRISE,
THROWING POKER CHIPS
IN THE WATER.
MARIA: ROULETTE.
YOU WON A FORTUNE LAST NIGHT.
JASON: WHY?
MARIA: YOU KEPT PICKING
THE WINNING NUMBERS.
JASON: NO, I MEAN -- I MEAN,
THIS IS SONNY'S PLACE,
THIS ISLAND.
I DON'T EVEN LIKE IT HERE.
EXCEPT FOR YOU.
MARIA: YOU MIGHT LIKE IT
BETTER IF YOU STAYED A LITTLE
LONGER.
JASON: WOULD I BE YOUR BOY
ON THE SIDE?
MARIA: SIDE OF WHAT?
JASON: YOU KNOW WHAT?
I THINK THAT'S WHAT I SAID,
TOO, WHEN SOMEBODY CALLED ME
THAT ONCE.
MARIA: WHO?
JASON: WHO?
I WASN'T EVEN SUPPOSED TO KNOW
HER NAME.
THE ONLY PLACE WE WERE SUPPOSED
TO KNOW EACH OTHER WAS IN BED.
MARIA: AND THEN WHAT
HAPPENED?
JASON: SHE CHANGED MY LIFE.
SHE FOUGHT WITH ME,
SHE FOUGHT FOR ME,
SPENT MY MONEY, THREATENED
TO PAINT EVERYTHING
IN THE HOUSE.
SHE WAS CRAZY.
AND I LEFT.
BUT SHE LOVED ME.
MARIA: AND YOU MISS HER.
JASON: AND I MISS HER.

CARLY: SONNY, COME ON.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
YOU DON'T NEED THAT.
SONNY: DON'T TELL ME WHAT
I NEED.
CARLY: ALL RIGHT.
HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN SINCE
YOU ATE ANYTHING OR SLEPT
AT ALL?
SONNY: SLEEP'S NOT ALL IT'S
CRACKED UP TO BE.
YOU GO TO SLEEP, DREAM ABOUT ALL
THE PEOPLE WHO ARE GONE,
THE LIVES YOU COULD HAVE HAD,
THE LIVES THAT NEVER WERE.
CARLY: WELL, I THINK BOBBIE
COULD PROBABLY HELP OUT.
COULD PROBABLY GIVE
YOU SOMETHING -- A PRESCRIPTION,
SOMETHING TO HELP YOU SLEEP.
NOT BAD DREAMS.
SONNY: IS THAT YOUR SECRET?
YOU DON'T DREAM ABOUT THE PEOPLE
YOU CUT OFF AT THE KNEES?
YOU DON'T THINK ABOUT THE LIVES,
YOU KNOW, THAT YOU'VE RUINED?
CARLY: I MAKE MISTAKES,
AND I LIVE WITH THEM JUST LIKE
EVERYBODY ELSE.
WHAT CHOICE DO YOU HAVE, MAN?
YOU FIX WHAT YOU CAN.
YOU HAVE TO LET GO OF THE REST.
SONNY: OH, CARLY'S ANTHEM.
CARLY: WHAT IS IT EXACTLY
THAT I DID --
SONNY: SING IT LOUD --
CARLY: THAT YOU THINK
I SHOULD BE SO ASHAMED OF?
SONNY: NOTHING.
NOT A THING.
THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE, YOU KNOW,
MAY BE BLEEDING ALL OVER
THE FURNITURE, BUT AT LEAST
THEY'RE ALIVE WHEN YOU'RE DONE
WITH THEM.
ASK ME IF I CAN SAY THAT.
ASK ME.
DO YOU TELL THEM YOU'LL PROTECT
THEM AND THEN YOU WIND UP
AT A GRAVE,
AT A HOSPITAL BED, WONDERING
WHAT WENT WRONG?
NO?
NO?
ASK ME IF I CAN SAY THAT?
CARLY: THIS IS WRONG, MAN.
I DON'T KNOW YOU, OK?
I DON'T KNOW YOU VERY WELL,
BUT THESE ARE PEOPLE THAT
YOU LOVE THAT YOU'RE TALKING
ABOUT HERE -- BRENDA
AND YOUR WIFE AND I DON'T KNOW
WHO ELSE.
THEY DEFINITELY DESERVED BETTER
THAN THEY GOT.
WHO DOESN'T?
IT'S NOT YOU.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
I DON'T CARE WHO YOU ARE,
WHAT YOU DO.
YOU DON'T HAVE THE POWER OF LIFE
AND DEATH.
NOBODY DOES.
PEOPLE DON'T DROP DEAD
BECAUSE YOU DID SOMETHING WRONG.
MY MOTHER DIED IN FRONT
OF MY EYES OF A STROKE,
THE WOMAN WHO RAISED ME, OK?
AND WE WERE HAVING AN ARGUMENT.
SHE WAS FURIOUS BECAUSE I HAD
DISAPPOINTED HER ONE TOO MANY
TIMES.
WAS THAT MY PUNISHMENT?
HMM?
GOD'S NOT CRUEL.
GOD DOESN'T THINK THAT WAY,
AND NEITHER DO PEOPLE WHO LOVE
YOU, OK?
YOU BLAME YOURSELF,
MAN, BUT THEY NEVER WOULD.
LOOK, THIS STUFF THAT YOU --
THAT YOU DREAM ABOUT
WHEN YOU SLEEP,
IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT.
SONNY: DON'T SPREAD
YOUR SICKNESS TO ME.
YOU CAN'T LIVE WITH YOURSELF,
FINE.
MAKE UP FAIRY TALES.
KEEP TELLING YOURSELF, YOU KNOW,
"HEY, I DID THE BEST I COULD."
BUT DON'T TELL ME WHAT I'VE DONE
OR HAVEN'T DONE
BECAUSE I AM NOT AFRAID
TO LOOK THE DEVIL
IN THE EYE.

MINISTER: DEARLY BELOVED,
WE ARE GATHERED HERE
IN THE SIGHT OF GOD AND THIS
COMPANY TO JOIN TOGETHER THIS
MAN AND THIS WOMAN IN HOLY
MATRIMONY, WHICH IS AN HONORABLE
ESTATE, INSTITUTED OF GOD,
AND THEREFORE, NOT BY ANTO BE
ENTERED INTO UNADVISEDLY
OR LIGHTLY, BUT REVERENTLY,
DISCREETLY, ADVISEDLY,
AND SOBERLY.
IF ANYONE CAN SHOW JUST CAUSE
WHY THEY MAY NOT LAWFULLY BE
JOINED TOGETHER, LET HIM SPEAK
OR ELSE HEREAFTER FOREVER HOLD
HIS PEACE.
GERTRUDE: WELL, NOW THAT
YOU MENTION IT --

JUAN: IT'S NOT THAT I HATE
MY FATHER.
IT'S JUST --
WELL, THE KIND OF PERSON I AM,
THE KIND OF PERSON HE IS,
WE HAVE NOTHING IN COMMON.
I WAS THINKING ABOUT ASKING
SONNY FOR HELP.
HE DOESN'T EVEN COME AROUND
ANYMORE.
EMILY: NO, SONNY DOES.
I MEAN, WHAT'S HE SUPPOSED
TO DO, JUAN?
IT'S NOT HIS FAULT.
YOUR FATHER WON'T EVEN LISTEN
TO HIM.
JUAN: NO.
HE THINKS IT'S SONNY'S FAULT,
WHAT HAPPENED.
EMILY: WHY IS IT THAT
OUR PARENTS ARE ACTING LIKE
LITTLE CHILDREN HAVING TANTRUMS?
I MEAN, WE'RE THE ONES THAT ARE
ACTING CALM AND THINKING THINGS
THROUGH.
JUAN: THAT'S JUST MY POINT.
EMILY: ABOUT WHAT?
JUAN: WHY WE SHOULD MAKE
OUR OWN DECISIONS.
WE DON'T HAVE TO DO WHAT
THEY SAY.
EMILY: YEAH, BUT I DON'T
THINK THEY'D AGREE.
JUAN: AND THAT'S WHY
WE SHOULD RUN AWAY.

JASON: USUALLY,
PEOPLE LEAVE ME.
I STAY, AND I GET MAD.
AND I TAKE CARE OF THINGS.
AND THIS TIME I DID IT.
I LEFT,
WHICH IS GOOD.
OTHERWISE, I WOULD NEVER KNOW
THAT LEAVING DOESN'T FIX
ANYTHING.
IT JUST MAKES IT WORSE
BECAUSE THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE MAY
NEED YOU AND YOU'RE NOT THERE.
MARIA: WHAT WILL HAPPEN
IF YOU GO?
JASON: PROBABLY NOTHING.
SHE'S MARRIED TO SOMEONE
ELSE NOW.
AND HER --
HER BABY HAS ANOTHER FATHER.
THEY MAY NEVER NEED ME AGAIN,
BUT I SHOULD BE THERE JUST
IN CASE.
MARIA: MAYBE YOU NEED HER.
DID THAT NEVER OCCUR TO YOU?
OF COURSE NOT.
SHE SCREWED UP YOUR LIFE, RIGHT?
JASON: YEAH.
MARIA: WELL, LOOK AT YOU.
MAYBE YOU NEED HER TO SCREW IT
UP SOME MORE.
I'LL TELL ENRIQUE TO GET
THE BOAT READY.
IN THE MORNING?
OK.
TODAY.

CARLY: SONNY, COME ON.
JUST --
SONNY, CAN I JUST --
LET ME JUST SEE IT.
SONNY: WHAT?
CARLY: YOUR HAND, OK?
YOU HURT YOURSELF.
SEE?
SONNY: DOESN'T HURT.
CARLY: BUT YOU CAN SEE THAT
IT'S BLEEDING, RIGHT?
SONNY: NO.
IT'S NOT MINE.
IT'S LILY'S.

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

GERTRUDE: IMAGINE MY DISMAY
WHEN A CERTAIN LETTER FELL
INTO MY POSSESSION.
THIS LETTER.

SONNY: I DID IT.
CARLY: YOU DID WHAT, SONNY?

TAMMY: SONNY WASN'T TRAVELING
WITH YOU BY ANY CHANCE, WAS HE?
NOBODY'S SEEN HIM FOR
A FEW DAYS.
