Previously on "General Hospital" --
Luke: I signed my divorce papers. You and I are both free.
Lucy: Welcome to the eighth annual nurses' ball.
Edward: (Singing) It's there in his kiss
Bobbie: I got to go!
Lucy: They all got paged to the emergency room.
Zander: Somebody help over here!
Lucy: I have a really bad feeling about tonight.
Lucy: Well, hello, everybody, I’m back. Oh, thank you. Thank you very, very much. Oh, and thank you to Victor. Victor, you did a terrific job filling in for me. Let's give a big hand to Victor. We have a true crisis that's developed downstairs. The Manhattan train hit a bus. It was stalled on its tracks, and everything seems to be under control, but all our wonderful doctors and nurses are downstairs working very hard fighting to save everyone's lives and the injured so, um, I thought as I was making my way back up here, it'd be a wonderful time to dedicate the ball to them and in appreciation of their selflessness, let's dig deep into our pockets and make sure that this ball tonight is the very best ball ever. And now I am going to come down in that audience and I can see your guilty faces. Those of you who have not purchased those raffle tickets, I'm on you. Here I come. I'm coming. I'm after you. Mad dog.
Scott: No more trains for the rest of your life. Do you understand me?
Serena: I'm really okay, Dad.
Laura: He's just really happy to see you again.
Serena: I didn't mean to scare anyone.
Scott: No, no. It's just that, you know, I always think about, you know, "What if? What if?" Come over here. Come over here.
Stavros: I want Luke Spencer dead. He is a disease in Laura's heart.
Helena: Well, killing Luke now would be too quick and easy. He needs to suffer first to know that his son will destroy him and anyone else we choose.
Helena: Bio-toxin looks so innocent. We only have to wait for the perfect --
Stavros: I wait for nothing and no one.
Nikolas: Okay, so, do you really think Elizabeth got sick or was it just stage fright? It had to be.
Gia: No, our song's better with three anyway.
Nikolas: Okay.
Lucky: Yeah? Since when?
Nikolas: Okay, all right. You know what? The idea is just to go out there, raise money for aids research, and have a good time, right?
Gia: In other words, we're going to need to run through our routine one more time before we look like total idiots in front of the most important people in town.
Lucky: Is this the fun part?
Nikolas: Hey, hey, hey. Face it, man -- you're stuck with us all night.
Lucky: Uh. Relax, too, all right? There's no way Helena would try anything in this crowd.
Gia: If you say so. You guys ready to rehearse?
Nikolas: Yeah, we'd probably better.
Lucky: All right, let's do this.
Nikolas: Okay, so you count it off. I'm not doing it. Go ahead.
Lucky: Ah, jeez.
Lucky: Five, six, seven, eight –
Scott: What are you doing backstage?
Luke: A routine search for uninvited guests.
Lee: Hi there.
Luke: Hello.
Laura: Hi.
Luke: Hi, Gail.
Gail: Hi.
Lee: Time to go, Sweetheart. See the over yet.(don't know what this was supposed to be, sorry)
Gail: Oh, well, it is for you, Honey.
Scott: That's right.
Luke: Any sign of Helena?
Scott: She might've been driving the bus.
Luke: Keep your guard up.
Laura: I'm keeping tabs on Lucky, don't worry.
Luke: Is he still in the dressing room?
Laura: Yes.
Scott: Come on; let's go back to our seats, huh?
Laura: Sure.
Lucy: I will -- oh, thank you. Amanda Barrington just gave us the most generous contribution she has ever given. Thank you, Amanda Barrington. Then let's hear it for Ms. Barrington. [Applause]
Lucy: Wow. I am so excited! Oh, at this time, too, I really want to thank all of our volunteers because without their energy, their time, their creativity, their talent, this extraordinary evening would never, ever have happened, so let's give it up for the unsung heroes. Whoo! [Applause]
Bobbie: Tell me where it hurts. Your chest? You're asthmatic?
Melissa: All right, all right, all right. I've got something here for you. This is going to help, all right? This is going to help. Deep breaths. What's the wait on trauma three?
Audrey: Well, I can give you a three.
Melissa: Great, great, great. Go, go, go.
Bobbie: We're going to run an E.K.G. on you.
Woman: Okay.
Bobbie: All right? To make sure it's not your heart.
Monica: Do you know how many more there are?
Alan: No, I'll keep you posted.
Paramedic: Okay, we got a teenage girl thrown from a vehicle. She's altered, sinus rhythm, sinus tach.
Alan: Monica, come on over here.
Paramedic: Doctor, lower extremity motor deficit.
Emily: Dad? [Monica gasps]
Alan: Dr. Raines, pick up the triage.
Audrey: Oh, he's got it.
Alan: Thank you.
Monica: Emily?
Alan: Were you on the bus, Sweetie?
Emily: Please don't be mad.
Alan: I'm not mad at you, Darling.
Monica: No, no, no.
Zander: Emily? Emily?
Emily: Zander?
Alan: Zander -- Zander, stop -- stop. Now you calm down or I’m going to throw you out of here.
Zander: Wait, is she okay? Is she all right? I didn't --
Alan: She is -- she's going to be fine. Just stay here.
Amy: You can wait over there.
Zander: I'm okay, though. I'm --
Amy: No, no. Come on. Wait over here.
Zander: All right. I'm fine, I'm fine. I'm all right. I'm all right.
Monica: You're going to be okay.
Felicia: You were pretty cute out there. You know, you seemed to be in your element onstage with purple feathers.
Mac: Oh, thanks.
Felicia: When Robin sees that tape, I think she's going to feel the same way.
Mac: Oh.
Felicia: Mac, you've done your share. If you don't want to do this number with me, I can completely understand.
Mac: Why would I do that?
Felicia: Well, in that case, you've got five seconds to get into costume. Otherwise, Lucy's going to have a meltdown and you know how Lucy is --
Mac: Right.
Felicia: When she has her meltdowns.
Mac: Five, four, three, two --
Felicia: Oh, nice chest. [Knock on door]
Mac: Yeah?
Taggert: Oh, hey, listen. I'm sorry. The situation downstairs is bad. It's getting worse. We could really use somebody with your experience, even if it is unofficial.
Mac: Sure. Sorry.
Felicia: That's okay. This is more important.
Mac: Let's go.
Gia: So just promise you're not going to mess me up, okay?
Lucky: I'll be fine just as long as you stay out of my way.
Nikolas: Okay. You guys please tell me that I am not going to fall on my face.
Lucky and Gia: You're not going to fall on your face.
Nikolas: Okay.
Lucky: At least I hope not.
Luke: Hey. Everything all right?
Lucky: Yeah. Yeah. Checking up on me now?
Luke: Well, Helena's in the neighborhood lurking around.
Nikolas: I think so, too. I'll deal with her.
Luke: All right. Mmm -- good apple. Watch your back.
Lucky: I will.
Luke: Break a jaw, you-all.
Gia: "Break a jaw"? Isn't it supposed to be leg?
Lucky: It was a joke. All right? Let's go. You guys ready?
Gia: I knew that.
Nikolas: Come on, Sparky.
Felicia: Hey.
Luke: Hello, Orphey. Look at this hair. Very Dolly Parton.
Lucy: Ah! Luke? Okay. Stay, stay. It's nice to see you, but sit. Okay. Hi. Your number's up real soon. Where's Mac?
Felicia: Downstairs.
Lucy: What?
Felicia: The police just needed his help, Lucy.
Lucy: No -- no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Don't tell me that. Wait -- okay. I'm calm. Look at me.
Luke: Yeah, breathe.
Lucy: I'm so calm.
Luke: Take a nice, deep breath.
Lucy: Oh, my goodness! Look, I'm grateful my child is okay, very grateful, and I'm grateful that Mac has such a big heart that he can help out the police and not do his old job again. But it's tonight! I need him more desperately than I’ve ever needed him tonight.
Luke: Lucy, just relax. It's not the end of western civilization.
Lucy: Yes, it is, yes, it is, yes, it is.
Felicia: I can do the number alone.
Luke: There you go. Yeah.
Lucy: No.
Luke: Why not?
Lucy: You can’t.
Luke: Why not?
Lucy: You don't want to know. No, no -- wait, wait. Wait. I have a little idea. Um -- Luke?
Luke: Yeah?
Lucy: You remember that doctor?
Luke: What doctor?
Lucy: You know, that pitiful little doctor that threw his back out before the big disco number.
Luke: Oh, no. No, I don't remember anything like that.
Lucy: Yeah, you know, it was some guy, some really hunky, gorgeous, sexy guy with a really good sense of rhythm --
Luke: I have to go.
Lucy: Stepped in and it was great.
Luke: Break a jaw.
Lucy: And --
Luke: I have --
Lucy: He saved the Nurses' Ball in the nick of time.
Luke: No, Lucy.
Lucy: And he saved me -- yes.
Luke: No, Lucy.
Lucy: Please! I'm begging.
Luke: No, Lucy --
Lucy: Please, please, please.
Luke: Don't get on your knees.
Lucy: Please, save me, save me, save me -- save her!
Felicia: Save me. Save me.
Lucy: Do the number. I'm counting on you. The Nurses' Ball needs you. Luke?
Luke: No.
Lucy: You have to do it, please.
Luke: No, no. Why? Why?
Lucy: Help me, please.
Luke: Why? Why?
Lucy: Please! Please?
Helena: Oh, you don't want to hurt me, Stavros.
Stavros: If not for you, I'd have Laura. You cost me my life.
Helena: No. I gave you life, Stavros, as a baby and now.
Stavros: Let go.
Helena: Oh. Oh.
Helena: Give me the vial.
Stavros: I know what it's like to be dead. And now everyone else will know, too.
Stefan: Due to the worldwide devastation caused by the aids virus and a need for more research and education, the Cassadine family will double all donations made to the wing this evening.
Lucy: Thank you, Stefan Cassadine. That is incredible. Let's hear it for Mr. Cassadine.
Edward: Show-off.
Chloe: Absolutely.
Lucy: Ladies and gentlemen, you have to realize this means double our money. This is incredible. So we have to somehow try and match Mr. Cassadine's generosity. Please, let's thank him one more time. Mr. Cassadine.
Lucy: All right, I’m going to be back in just one minute. I have to check something, so go -- go to that silent auction. There are some goodies you might really like. See you soon. [Applause]
Dara: That's a very generous offer, Mr. Cassadine.
Stefan: Well, contrary to popular belief, we aren't the scourge of the earth, now, are we?
Dara: But you do keep us on our toes.
Stefan: That's the idea.
Roy: Well, you look nice tonight.
Dara: Why, thank you.
Roy: You haven't seen Luke Spencer around, have you?
Dara: Well, he doesn't exactly report to me, so --
Roy: Yeah.
Lucy: All right, ladies and gentlemen. I hope you're ready for another surprise because here it comes.

Luke: Ra da-da da-da-da
Felicia: That's where my heart is yearning ever that's where the old folks stay
Felicia: Take it.
Luke: I don't want it. Stop the music! [Music stops]
Felicia: Why?
Luke: If we have to sing about old folks at home, can't we at least do it with a beat?
Felicia: Do you have anything with a beat?
Luke: Anything with a beat? ["Old Time Rock 'n' Roll" plays]
Luke: That's a beat! I like that.

Lucy: Whoa, weren't they fabulous? See, I told you you'd have a nice surprise, and they were terrific. That was Luke Spencer and Felicia Scorpio Jones.

Go -- go buy tickets. I'll be back.
Chloe: Not bad.

Gia: See? All that Cassadine money can do some good.
Nikolas: Yeah, when we aren't trying to kill each other.
Lucky: You're not going to do the brooding prince thing up there, are you?
Gia: Oh, I think it's kind of cute.
Lucky: Oh, you guys are cute.
Roy: Dude, you so rock.
Luke: Have you seen the queen of the damned around anywhere?
Roy: No. I think it's too bad she missed your song.
Luke: Well, I'm not so sure she did. I have a feeling somebody was watching.
Roy: A lot of people watching. It's a talent show.
Luke: Oh, yeah, yeah. Oop -- incoming.
Stefan: Luke, that was -- was an interesting performance.
Luke: Thank you. You think your mother liked it?
Stefan: You know how she feels about you.
Luke: Hmm.
Roy: Have you seen her?
Stefan: No. She's been far too quiet.
Luke: You haven't been putting paralyzer drugs in her catheter again, have you?
Roy: Ah. So was that a warning, or what?
Luke: Who can tell with him?
Roy: I'm going to circulate.
Luke: Yeah. Hey, you rock, too, baby.
Roy: Thank you, brother. You okay?
Helena: Stavros? Stavros, answer me! Oh, Stavros, don't do this! Oh! Oh.

Chloe: Of course.
Lucy: Hello again, everybody. It's going to be my pleasure right now to introduce lucky Spencer, Gia Campbell, and Nikolas Cassadine. [Applause] ["Up on the Roof" plays]
Nikolas: [SINGING] When this old world starts getting me down and people are just too much for me to face
Lucky and Nikolas: I climb way up to the top of the stairs and all my cares just drift right into space on the roof it's peaceful as can be up there the world below can't bother me
Gia: Let me tell you now when I come home feeling tired and beat I go up where the air is fresh and sweet I get away from the hustlin' crowd and all the rat race noise down in the street
Lucky and Nikolas: At night, the stars put on a show for free and, darling, you can share it all with me
[Applause]
All: Right smack dab in the middle of town I found a paradise that's trouble proof so if this world starts getting me down there's room enough for two up on the roof
Gia: Everything is all right
Lucky and Nikolas: Up on the roof
Gia: Everything is all right
Lucky and Nikolas: Up on the roof
All: Up on the
Nikolas: On the roof
Roy: Well, where'd your boy learn to do that, man?
Luke: Oh, it was his mother that taught him to blow harmonica.
Roy: Well, that was cool.
Laura: Weren't they great?
Scott: The boys have got talent.
Laura: They do. I'm going to go congratulate them. Thank you.
Emily: Don't worry about me, okay? It's not serious. I'm not hurting.
Zander: All right. You just -- you just let them check you out, okay?
Monica: What's happening with that x-ray?
Bobbie: It's all yours.
Monica: Oh.
Alan: Do you feel like having your picture taken, Sweetie?
Emily: Will you stay here with me?
Bobbie: Zander, we're a little short on space in there.
Zander: How about if I wait for you out here, okay?
Melissa: How about if you flag down a doctor while you're at it?
Zander: No, I'm all right. I'm all right.
Emily: Zander?
Zander: Hey, you just -- you do what they tell you, okay?
Emily: I will.
Zander: All right.
Monica: Okay, let's go.
Alan: You were running away again and taking my daughter with you.
Zander: We got a death threat from Sorel.
Alan: You were dragging her away from the only safe place that remains for her.
Zander: There is no safe place. Don't you get that? She needs a guard right now.
Alan: I'll speak to the police.
Zander: Where were the police when I got shot down, huh? You don't understand how these people work.
Alan: They're after you, not Emily.
Zander: Will you at least put a guard on her?
Alan: Emily will be perfectly safe once she's away from you.
Man: Hey, any chance I could see a doctor? I've been waiting a long time.
Audrey: Oh, well, I'm terribly sorry, but we will get to you as soon as we can -- oh, Cathy. Sorry. Would you take --
Cathy: Oh, yeah. I'll see what I can do.
Man: Next time, your little girlfriend won't be so lucky.
Zander: What'd you say? Hey, you were on that bus.
Man: Oh, you're finally catching on.
Amy: Stop! What are you doing? Stop!
Audrey: Somebody get the police. Come on! Somebody get the police!
Zander: You stay away from her!
Man: He's gone crazy!
Zander: Get off of me! No!
Lucky: Hmm. I cannot wait to tell Elizabeth.
Gia: Oh, like we needed her anyway.
Lucky: Oh, we needed her.
Nikolas: Will you stop for just one second, please.
Gia: Me? Where would this little act be without me? Answers, anyone?
[Lucky laughs]
Lucky: Oh, yeah.
Helena: Well, Nikolas. Now, why would you insist on making a spectacle out of yourself?
Nikolas: Gia? Take Lucky out of here, please.
Lucky: No. What, do you expect me to run away?
Gia: Hello? Psycho Granny is not our friend. Do you get that at all?
Helena: My, the company you keep.
Gia: We're going.
Lucky: Come with us.
Nikolas: No, no, no. This won't take long. Go ahead. I'll meet you later. Go. Go. All right, Grandmother.
Helena: Honestly, Nikolas. Now why would you insist on performing in this silly Nurses' --
Nikolas: Why is that, huh? We mess up your plans? You planning to grab Lucky again -- is that it?
Helena: Must you blame me every time he wanders off?
Nikolas: Lucky is the only real family that I do have. I will protect him.
Helena: If you only knew.
Nikolas: Wait a second. What does that mean?
Edward: You are the reason that Emily is here tonight.
Zander: You think I don't know that?
Edward: You've brought her nothing but bad luck.
Zander: You know what? This is not the time or the place to talk about it.
Edward: I don't want to hear it! My little granddaughter would be perfectly safe right now if not for you. She would be happy and she would be singing her heart out --
Zander: You know that guy I went after? He's trying to kill Emily.
Edward: Oh --
Zander: Will you --
Edward: That is ridiculous!
Zander: You think I'm making this up?
Amy: I'm telling you it was him.
Taggert: Why am I not surprised?
Edward: He assaulted a patient and now he's lying about it. When will you put this deviant behind bars where he belongs, huh?
Taggert: Aren't you ever tired of getting arrested?
A.J.: Hey. Bobbie? Melissa, how's Emily?
Zander: Come here. I'm glad you're here, okay?
Taggert: Since when?
Zander: It was Sorel's guy.
Taggert: The guy you attacked?
Zander: Yes, yes. He was on the bus. You got to find him.
Taggert: You got a description?
Zander: Uh, yeah -- a Hawaiian shirt, grey hair, six-foot -- you've got to find this guy.
Taggert: You're not giving us much to go on, Zander.
Zander: All right, look. Would you at least put a guard on Emily’s door? We got a death threat from Sorel, okay?
Taggert: When?
Zander: What does that matter, all right? Sorel is trying to kill Emily.
Taggert: Sorel is not going to hurt Emily. You want to be sure? Disappear.
Zander: All right.
Skye: Hey, come on, it wasn't supposed to turn out like this.
Zander: Hey, you know what? You were just trying to help. It's all right.
Emily: I'm sorry I missed your song.
Alan: Next year.
Emily: How did it go?
Alan: You think I'd sing without you?
Alan: SINGING: Nothing's going to harm you not while I'm around nothing's going to harm you no, Em not while I'm around demons are prowling everywhere nowadays I’ll send them howling I don't care I got ways
Alan: No one's going to hurt you no one's going to dare others may desert you not to worry whistle, I’ll be there demons will charm you with a smile for a while but in time nothing's going to harm you not while I'm around
Alan: Demons will charm you with a smile for a while but in time nothing's going to harm you not while I'm around and then I can go out and…
[Applause]
Lucy: Thank you. Thank you very, very much. Well, all of you, guess what. We did it again. We broke all the records, and another Nurses' Ball is now history. And as you all know, usually at this time of the evening, I'm somehow in my undies, but –
[Laughter]
Lucy: That's not going to happen this year because tonight, what is really important is General Hospital and what's going on downstairs. And so tonight I ask you to really think about giving of yourself because you've done so here so tremendously. I mean, all the money you've given to our Pediatric aids Foundation and aids research for this hospital is overwhelming, but now it's time to just give a little part of yourself. And on that note, tonight we'd like to end the evening with a moment of silence for all those wonderful, brave doctors and nurses downstairs saving lives and for everybody all over the world that has been touched by aids in some way. And why don't we throw in the children everywhere, too? Thank you very much. Good night.
Dara: Somewhere over the rainbow way up high there's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue and the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true one day I'll wish upon a star and wake up where the clouds are far behind me where troubles melt like lemon drops away above the chimney tops that's where you'll find me somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly birds fly over the rainbow why then, oh, why can't I?
Dara: That's where you'll find me somewhere over the rainbow
Nikolas: I never thought I could do it, that's for sure.
Laura: It was beautiful. It was absolutely beautiful.
Nikolas: Surprised myself.
[Nikolas and Laura laugh]
Dara: Birds fly over the rainbow why oh, why can't I?
Luke: Hello, my darling. I was hoping we'd catch a moment alone together tonight.
