Previously on "General Hospital" --
Elizabeth: I know what to do, but I'm going to need your help.
Taggert: I want you to come down to the station. We'll get to the bottom of this kidnapping, all right?
Carly: The last thing I want to do is make Sonny mad at me by going to the police. Mac said that I could reconsider.
Chloe: Would you just leave me --
Stefan: Chloe!
Stefan: Chloe. Chloe?
Jax: Get the hell away from her.
Stefan: Let go --
Jax: Get away from her!
Stefan: Let go of me.
Jax: Is she all right?
Ned: I can't tell. Chloe, can you hear me?
Jax: Back off.
Ned: She's unconscious.
Jax: Here. Talk to the paramedics.
Stefan: She was taking a step back.
Ned: Yes, listen, I need an ambulance.
Stefan: She lost her balance.
Ned: A woman has gone down --
Jax: She was trying to pull away from you.
Stefan: This was an accident!
Jax: When a woman tells you to leave to her alone, you comply. Otherwise, it's assault.
Stefan: Don't pretend to understand my feelings for her.
Jax: Who cares what you feel or want? You have no right to Chloe. You're no better than Helena. Somebody should get rid of both of you.
Stavros: What are you doing in Helena Cassadine's room?
Elizabeth: What are you doing here? And who are you?
Stavros: I'm a business associate of Ms. Cassadine's. And now, if you've finished stalling, why don't you give me your explanation?
Elizabeth: You know, it's a very long story. I won't bother you. I should go.
Stavros: Fine. I will have security meet you at the elevator and you can give your long story to them.
Elizabeth: No.
Stavros: Is there a problem?
Elizabeth: Um -- well, sort of. I'm -- I'm Nikolas Cassadine's girlfriend. Do you know Nikolas?
Stavros: Well, last time I saw him he was an infant, but his grandmother speaks of him often enough.
Elizabeth: Oh. Well, you see, the thing is she's not exactly my biggest fan. I think she would rather see Nikolas going out with somebody whose blood is a little bluer, if you know what I mean. Anyway, Nikolas and I were up here earlier and Helena happened to walk in on us. It was a little awkward, so I got out of here as fast as I could, and I think I -- I left something. But you know what? It's no big deal. I'll just have Nikolas grab it for me later.
Stavros: Not so fast.
Sonny: It's very simple, Mac. Nothing happened.
Carly: Will you stop protecting her?
Sonny: I'm not protecting her.
Angel: This is a witch-hunt.
Carly: Yeah, and it worked. We found one.
Alexis: All right, in the interest of pursuing this with a minimum of name-calling and maximum efficiency, I'll need to confer with my client. What's your name?
Angel: Ellis.
Alexis: Ms. Ellis, are you willing to have me represent you?
Sonny: Just make it go away, Alexis.
Angel: The charges are completely false.
Mac: You'll -- you'll have some privacy over here.
Alexis: You are so full of surprises.
Sonny: Okay, I don't care what it costs. Just fix it.
Alexis: You know something? What if Carly's right? What if she had something to do with this? I was a hostage, too, you know.
Sonny: She didn't. She --
Alexis: Are you sure?
Sonny: Just make it disappear, will you?
Alexis: Yeah, sure. No problem. Maybe I'll sit in on this, all right?
Taggert: Since you're already here, Sonny, how about answering a few questions?
Alexis: Only if they're restricted to the case at hand.
Taggert: Oh, yeah. No, we wouldn't have it any other way. It's procedure.
Mac: Do you need any coffee, some water?
Angel: No, I'm fine. Thanks.
Mac: All right.
Alexis: So, Ms. Ellis --
Angel: Angel. I appreciate you doing this for me.
Alexis: I trust Sonny's opinion -- to a point.
Angel: Well, I realize that you don't know anything about me.
Alexis: No, I really don't know anything about you. But I'm going to find out everything about you now because Carly has accused you of being involved with Sorel's kidnapping, which is a very serious charge. And if I'm going to help you, you're going to have to tell me everything that's been going on with you and Sonny, starting from the time that you found him stabbed in the cemetery.
Mike: I -- I thought you were going to retract your statement.
Carly: I was.
Mike: So, what happened?
Carly: The tramp in white strolled in, dragging my husband behind her.
Mike: Deliberately provoking Sonny is a bad idea.
Carly: Look -- Angel is intentionally getting Sonny involved, and it is the last thing he needs right now. You know the cops are always trying to put one thing on him or another. What do you think they're going to do with some big, fat opportunity like this?
Mike: They don't have anything on Sonny.
Carly: So they will make it up. You know Taggert. He's just desperate to nail something on Sonny. Look at him. Look at him over there. He will do anything -- even arrest some bimbo. And Sonny -- he is just falling for that helpless little victim routine.
Mike: That's not exactly how I'd describe her.
Carly: Oh, please. Didn't you just see them over there? Alexis asked Angel if she wants representation, and Angel just sits there silently waiting for Sonny to answer for her? She's already acting like he's responsible for her.
Mike: If Sonny wants to be involved, it's his call, not yours.
Carly: Oh, please, Mike. Don't tell me you are falling for her good girl routine. It is plastic and so transparent.
Mike: Carly, you're in love, and it colors your vision.
Carly: Well, you have everything you need. I'm getting out of here.
Mac: Not yet, Carly. I've read your statement against Ms. Ellis. Some things don't add up. ready
Stavros: What did you lose? I'll help you look for it.
Elizabeth: Oh, that's very nice of you, but I think I might have dropped it out in the hallway. I'm just going to check out there.
Stavros: No, no, no, no, no, no. If you were certain enough to break in to Helena Cassadine's room, I'm sure the item is in here somewhere. Now, what was it again?
Elizabeth: Um -- a ring. A ring with a pearl in it.
Stavros: A pearl. That's funny. I would've pegged you as a woman who prefers very large diamonds.
Elizabeth: No, no. I'm not really big on expensive jewelry. It's more about the giver than the gift. I remember the day when he gave me that ring. He was so sincere. Almost shy.
Stavros: That doesn't sound like the Nikolas that his proud grandmother boasts about.
Elizabeth: Well, Nikolas is very open in some ways and very private in others.
Stavros: Ah. So this ring was a symbol of his affection for you?
Elizabeth: Yes. Now I'm embarrassed. I'm going to go --
Stavros: No, no, no, no. Absolutely not. Do you remember where you were in the room when you lost it?
Elizabeth: Yes, it was over there.
Stavros: Ah. Ahem.
Elizabeth: Actually, you know what? I'm pretty sure it was over here.
Helena: What news about Lucky?
Gia: I just wanted to say thanks.
Helena: You have a peculiar way of showing it.
Gia: I know what you did, and I think it's a big improvement. Lucky is a lot more fun and more attractive, too.
Helena: What I did to him?
Gia: Zapped him, I guess. Lucky doesn't care about you anymore, or Nikolas, or even that drippy, whiny Elizabeth. He's free from all of you.
Helena: And how would you know?
Gia: He just told me so. He wants to be a normal guy who has a good time, and he wants to do so with me, which suits me fine.
Helena: Well, I gather that you have finally recovered from your broken romance with Nikolas.
Gia: Well, who wants to waste time with the boring, pompous prince when I can have a cute, young, attractive, hot guy like Lucky?
Guard: Is there a problem here?
Howard: She's out on the terrace.
Paramedic: Excuse me.
Jax: You're not getting anywhere near her.
Stefan: She stumbled.
Jax: You grabbed her, and she tried to pull away.
Paramedic: Okay, pupils are equal and responsive. Let's get her on oxygen, mobilize her, and start a line.
Stefan: She's had a previous head injury. Please be careful.
Ned: Yes, when she was run down by your mother.
Stefan: I'm riding to the hospital with her.
Jax: No, you won't.
Stefan: Listen, you lost any claim on Chloe when you deserted her.
Jax: I take care of my friends. Now, if you hurt Chloe or any of them ever again, you'll be fortunate to land in the hospital.
Stavros: So have you and Nikolas dating long?
Elizabeth: Well, we've known each other for years, but mostly just as friends. Nikolas has always kind of had a crush on me, but then he started dating somebody else. And once that broke off, we sort of happened, which, I guess, close we've always been. You know, he really is just a great guy.
Stavros: Yeah, I've heard that.
Elizabeth: Oh! Look.
Stavros: Hmm.
[Elizabeth laughs]
Stavros: Uh, uh.
Stavros: This is it?
Elizabeth: Yes. Thank goodness you found it. Thank you.
Stavros: No, no, no, no. Allow me. It's awfully snug. Now, how do you think this managed to slip off your finger?
Elizabeth: I –
[Phone rings]
Elizabeth: Oh, will you -- excuse me for a minute. I –
[Ring]
Elizabeth: Excuse me. Hello?
Gia: Helena showed up and I did everything I could to keep her down here. Don't even ask because you wouldn't even believe it. But she just got in the elevator, so get out of there now.
Elizabeth: Nikolas. I was just thinking about you.
Lucky: Yeah, room service. Yeah, what kind of hotel is this? Don't you guys change the ice in your cooler? It's all melted. It's been here since, like, yesterday. Yeah, I want more. 917, Gia Campbell's room. Thanks.
Angel: I'd been out of the country for several years. I only recently returned. The house I bought isn't far from the cemetery where my mother is buried, so I visit every week.
Alexis: Including the night that Sonny was stabbed? But, of course, you had no idea he would be there.
Sonny: I was bleeding to death on my wife's grave. Angel found me.
Angel: It's only a coincidence that I found Sonny.
Carly: It was a setup. Angel was hiding in the bushes.
Mac: But if Angel was working with her father, why not just finish what he started? To let you know that Sonny wasn't dead. You said that Sorel was in contact with his daughter while he was holding you hostage in the penthouse.
Carly: Yeah, he was on the phone with her maybe three -- I don't know -- four times.
Angel: The first time I spoke to my father was in the hospital.
Sonny: Angel was never in contact with her father.
Taggert: You never saw her pick up the phone to call him?
Sonny: Not that I heard.
Taggert: So you were with her 24 hours a day? Why would Carly make a false statement about Ms. Ellis?
Sonny: Maybe she sees Angel as a threat?
Angel: Carly sees me as a threat to her marriage.
Alexis: Are you?
Carly: She wants my husband.
Taggert: Mrs. Corinthos believes Ms. Ellis is interested in you. Is she?
[Sonny chuckles]
Sonny: None of your business.
Mac: What sort of relationship do you think your husband and Ms. Ellis have?
Carly: And what difference does that make?
Mac: Look, if Sorel acted with his daughter in the kidnapping, the assumption would be that Sorel knew that she was holding Sonny at her house. But Sorel was holding you hostage at the penthouse in hopes of bringing Sonny out in the open, so your story just doesn't hold up.
Carly: So you're calling me a liar?
Mac: I'm saying it doesn't work. Unless --
Carly: Unless what?
Mac: Angel was operating on her own against her father. Look, if she had feelings for Sonny and she knew her father was out to get him, they'd hardly be on the same side.
Carly: You mean that Angel might have turned on her own father.
Mac: I don't mean anything. I just think we should explore every angle.
Carly: You know what? It didn't occur to me before, but you are right. Because what I know of sweet, little Angel, she could definitely have killed her father.
Gia: Hello. Open your ears. It's me, Gia.
Elizabeth: Yes, Nikolas, I'm fine.
Gia: Well, good for you. Now, get out of there.
Elizabeth: I did. I found the ring right where we were -- you know.
Gia: Somebody's there with you, right?
Elizabeth: I can't wait to see you, too. Okay, I'll be right there.
Stavros: You don't mind if I have a short conversation with Nikolas, do you?
Gia: Elizabeth? Hello?
Stavros: Please –
[Door opens]
Helena: Well, what is going on?
Stavros: My flight from Paris got in early, and I was hoping that you and I could have an after-dinner drink.
Helena: Of course.
Stavros: And in the meantime, I was having a most stimulating conversation with your grandson's new girlfriend.
Helena: Were you?
Stavros: Mm-hmm.
Helena: Wow. You broke in here an hour ago. What could possibly have brought you back?
Elizabeth: Well, I --
Stavros: Nikolas is waiting for you. Go ahead. I'll fill Helena in.
Elizabeth: Thank you.
Stavros: Yes.
Helena: It's still here. I should put this in the vault, but I never know when I'm going to need it.
Stavros: So she and Nikolas are not involved?
Helena: Oh, no, Nikolas seems very taken with her. But when I caught her in here earlier, she claimed that she's still very much in love with Lucky Spencer.
Stavros: Ah. The plot thickens.
Helena: Hmm. And I don't care for it one bit.
Stavros: Yes, well, it looks like you didn't care for your dessert, either.
[Lucky laughs]
Lucky: Whoo!
Ned: What's happening?
Tony: We've run tests and x-rays.
Jax: And?
Tony: Chloe has a mild concussion.
Stefan: Why are you admitting her with a mild concussion?
Jax: I thought I made myself clear.
Stefan: Listen, I am if you choose to cause trouble, I'll have you thrown out.
Jax: Try it.
Tony: Could we maybe keep our voices down just for a moment, try to stay focused on the patient here?
Ned: Does Chloe need to stay here? Wouldn't she be more comfortable at home?
Tony: I'd prefer to keep her overnight, just as a precaution.
Ned: Because of the blindness?
Tony: Because of the original trauma in the automobile accident.
Jax: Helena's murder attempt on Alexis.
Ned: Could we see her?
Tony: I wouldn't advise that you all go in at once, however. Excuse me.
Stefan: It's not necessary to stand guard.
Jax: Well, I'm thinking about hiring one.
Stefan: The gallant companion act is quite impressive. Where was it when you left Chloe to chase after a fantasy?
Jax: It was your plan, Stefan. You should be thrilled it worked. I left, and you had the chance to abduct Chloe and withhold her medication. Sick but effective. And you won't get the chance to do it again.
Stefan: I love Chloe. I intend to prove it to her.
Ned: There are easier ways to avoid paying a bill.
Chloe: Ow. Thank you, Ned.
Chloe: My first smile after waking up.
Jax: How are you feeling?
Chloe: I'll be fine. Look, I don't need the two of you fussing over me. But I do appreciate the thought.
Jax: Well, if there's anything you need --
Chloe: I'll call.
Ned: You've still got a good friend in Jax, you know.
Chloe: Yeah. I have a good friend right here.
Ned: I didn't see you fall. Stefan said it was an accident.
Chloe: Yeah. Yeah, he grabbed me. I stumbled. I don't blame him. I just really need to get out of here, Ned. I will miss you guys so much. But as soon as I get a clean bill of health, I'm going to leave Port Charles.
Angel: I don't know what else I can tell you.
Alexis: This should be enough for now.
Angel: Well, I hope it helped.
Alexis: I think you're going to be okay.
Sonny: You all right?
Angel: I'm fine.
Sonny: Can we get out of here or what?
Alexis: Probably not. But I'll see if I can speed things up.
Sonny: Okay.
Dara: Hey -- is this as bogus as I think it is?
Taggert: I'm not so sure.
Dara: Is that your intuition speaking or your personal vendetta against Sonny Corinthos?
Mac: I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask everyone to stick around for a little while longer, including you.
Alexis: I've done all I can until charges are filed.
Mac: As an attorney, yes. Now I need you to stick around as a witness.
Mike: How did it go?
Carly: Better than I expected.
Mike: Did you drop the charges against Angel?
Carly: Well, let's just say I saw the light.
Mike: And the light would be?
Carly: Angel may do herself in without me even lifting a finger.
Mike: Carly --
Carly: You know, Mike, I am -- I'm real thirsty.
Mike: Okay. I'll get you some water.
Carly: Thanks.
Sonny: You're leaving now.
Carly: You can stop ordering me around because I'm your wife, not your flunky. And I'm not leaving until you hear me out.
Elizabeth: You shoved a piece of cake at Helena?
Gia: It seemed like a good idea at the time.
Elizabeth: Well, didn't you realize that would make her want to run upstairs and get changed even quicker?
Gia: Well, excuse me for trying to cover your butt. You know, she is not the easiest person in the world to make small talk with, okay? The dessert was handy and it was there and I was stuck, so I went for it.
Elizabeth: Without thinking.
Gia: You had enough time up there to steal the crown jewels. Did you at least get whatever it was you were after?
Elizabeth: No.
Gia: Great. So I did all this for nothing.
Elizabeth: You had the easy part.
Gia: Hello? After what I did to Helena, I'll probably find snakes in my bed.
Elizabeth: Oh, excuse me. I'm the one she caught red-handed.
Gia: Was she the other person in the room while you were cooing to Nikolas on the phone with me?
Elizabeth: No. No, no, no. She came later. It was some -- some guy that showed up right before you called.
Gia: Who?
Elizabeth: He said he was a business associate of Helena's.
Gia: What was his name?
Elizabeth: You know, I forgot to ask. But I could swear Lucky and I ran into him at some point on the docks, and Lucky had the weirdest reaction to him.
Gia: And so did you, obviously. "Hi, Nikolas. Yeah, I found the ring on the floor where we -- you know."
Elizabeth: I had to come up with a reason to be there. The guy was practically interrogating me. He was really creepy and intense. I --
Gia: And the first excuse that sprung into your head was rolling around the rug with Nikolas? I mean -- well, not that I care, but --
Elizabeth: Well, I had to make it sound convincing, just like you did when you purred to Lucky about how great it was to kiss him.
Gia: You know, if I didn't know better, I'd think you were still in love with Lucky.
Elizabeth: I am. Just because we're not together doesn't mean I don't care about him. Kind of like you and Nikolas.
Gia: Okay, I've heard enough about Nikolas for one night.
Elizabeth: All right, you know what? Let's just concentrate on Lucky right now. I suggest we go and make sure he's okay.
Gia: Finally a good idea.
Jax: Kristina?
Kristina: Finally some company. So, how's the outside world?
Jax: Oh, it's big and bad. Sorry I'm late.
Kristina: Oh, no, it's all right. I managed to enjoy myself.
Jax: So I see. Anything else I should know about?
Kristina: Oh, God, you can't begin to imagine. Whoo.
Jax: Wait. Let me guess. Well, the suite's too small for a midnight cruise.
Kristina: Oh
Jax: You painted a mural in the hallway.
Kristina: Well, I was thinking about an impressionist scene. You know, a few haystacks, maybe. But then I couldn't find any paints.
Jax: You ran a baccarat table and you pocketed millions of francs.
Kristina: Oh, God. That would be your fantasy, wouldn't it?
Jax: Okay. Tell me. I give up.
Kristina: I did absolutely nothing except here and pace a hole into the carpet and climb the walls.
Jax: I'm sorry. I know you like to get out.
Kristina: Well, the truth is I already have.
Jax: When?
Kristina: The night of that auction that you went to. I just borrowed some of your clothes and I walked right out the door.
Jax: Where'd you go?
Kristina: Nowhere in particular. I window shopped. I chatted with a rude parrot at a pet store. I ate a chocolate cigar. And I had a fruit smoothie from a cup about the size of a barrel. And then I came back here. Oh, come on, Jax. I confessed. That should count for something. Doesn't it?
Jax: You need to be more careful until the timing's better.
Kristina: Has something happened?
Jax: Well, let's just say the playing field isn't getting any safer. I don't want you to wind up as a casualty.
Alexis: Angel claims that she wasn't in contact with her father while he was holding everybody hostage, and I haven't been given any reason to believe otherwise. But then again, I haven't been privy to all the ins and outs of the recent events -- am I helping or hurting my client?
Dara: Okay, here's the evidence from forensics and the phone records that you requested.
Sonny: You couldn't leave it alone, could you? Instead you go shooting off at the mouth with the first thing that popped up in your head.
Carly: It is called putting two and two together.
Sonny: You made everything up!
Carly: Sonny, I can see what is going on here. That woman is bad news.
Sonny: No, you don't know nothing because -- you know, it's the same old story with you. You just never learn. That's your problem.
Carly: I have learned. I never did in the past because there wasn't much at stake, but now there is. Because for the first time in my life, I have a family of my own.
Sonny: Had.
Carly: I am through groveling, Sonny.
Sonny: Well --
Carly: You know what?
Sonny: What?
Carly: The last few months have been the worst of my life. But there is a silver lining because I learned that I can trust my instincts and protect the people that I care about from danger, even if that danger is all dressed up in white and wearing an insipid smile. F all been thinking about the future of my family. And I learned I better damn well learn to respect myself if I want my son growing up respecting me, which means I don't let anyone take advantage of me or mine.
Mac: Got some interesting evidence with fingerprints on it matching a set already on file.
Taggert: Motive?
Mac: The oldest in the book. The bond between parent and child.
Sonny: Words are easy. The follow through you can't handle.
Carly: I am through apologizing. I am the best thing that ever happened to you. And if you are too blind to see it, then it's your problem.
Sonny: We're in a police station, Carly, because of you. Sound familiar?
Carly: I'm right about Angel.
Sonny: Yeah? And this is how you prove it -- by running to the cops, signing a statement you know is false? That's perjury. It's a criminal offense. You've dug yourself into another hole now that you're not going to be able to claw your way out of.
Mac: Oops.
Carly: I am fighting for you, for us, for Michael. Don't you get that? What is it going to take for you to realize all that I have done?
Sonny: Be quiet.
Tony: She just drifts in and out.
Ned: So you're sure it's just a mild concussion?
Tony: Well, assuming there are no complications, she should just have a nasty bump on her head.
Ned: Well, then she got off easy compared to the damage the Cassadines usually do.
Tony: I need some forms filled out by a family member.
Ned: Lead the way.
Stefan: Chloe, the last thing I intended was to cause you more suffering. I love you. A path away from my loneliness the thought of you leaving was so terrible, it felt as if my whole world were crashing down again, like so many times before. I can't let that happen. I don't yet know how I'm going to stop it, but I'll find a way.
Stavros: Have you given any thought on how to handle Elizabeth Webber?
Helena: Well, I'm far more concerned with Jax. He's becoming quite a thorn in my side.
Stavros: Is he?
Helena: But he won't be a problem much longer. Tonight a wonderful solution presented itself.
Stavros: Mother, you are an inspiration. You never go to bed angry. You always take a moment or two to plot a little revenge.
Helena: Jax won't stop this time. We're going to have to stop him.
Stavros: I'm game. So, what's your handy little solution?
Helena: Well, Jax and Stefan almost came to blows tonight. Everybody who was watching could see Jax and your brother.
Stavros: Mr. Jax has good taste.
Helena: But we both know that Stefan is going to try to retaliate, although he will be utterly ineffectual.
Stavros: As always.
Helena: Hmm.
Stavros: And so?
Helena: And so, when you destroy your brother, I want you to make it appear as though Jax is responsible.
Stavros: Ah.
Kristina: I know you've had a difficult year, Jax, but maybe you're being more cautious than you need to be.
Jax: Oh, humor me.
Kristina: You are actually worried, aren't you?
Jax: This is a tricky situation. I just want to make sure you don't run into any unwelcome surprises.
Kristina: Thanks.
Jax: For what?
Kristina: For offering to slay all those dragons for me.
Kristina: Can I help it if I'm impatient?
Jax: One of your most charming qualities.
Kristina: Really? Wow, because I could've sworn that you were getting annoyed.
Jax: No, I gave up annoyance. Life's too short for that.
Kristina: Was I wrong to want to do this? Maybe I shouldn't have come at all.
Jax: Don't be so quick to give up. Give it a chance.
Kristina: Yeah, you know what? You're right. You're right. I'm not tired. Hey, why don't we go find a video arcade? I can paint on a beard, mustache. No one will even recognize me.
Jax: No, it's too late. You already promised that you'd stay here.
Kristina: Oh. How can I break a promise to someone who's been so great?
Jax: Exactly.
Kristina: But tomorrow do me a favor. Can you buy me a few things to keep me occupied?
Jax: Such as?
Kristina: Such as some magazines, deck of cards, some hip-hop C.D.s, origami, maybe a pottery wheel, glitter-colored nail polish --
Jax: You wouldn't be, like, having a problem with boredom by any chance, would you? You know, I should never have gotten rid of that pinball machine.
Kristina: Well, there's bound to be another one out there somewhere. You know, that's the thing with life. There's always one more of what you lost or gave up. It might not be the exact same thing, but, you know, maybe it's even better. You just know where to look. I'll see you in the morning.
Jax: Yeah, good night.
Gia: Lucky?
Gia: Thank God. I mean, he's obviously safe for now, so -- bye. I'll catch up with you tomorrow.
Elizabeth: I want to stay with him.
Gia: Well, what am I supposed to do?
Elizabeth: Well, what were you planning on doing?
Gia: Well, since it's practically the middle of the night, I had some vague ideas about sleeping.
Elizabeth: You weren't planning to join Lucky in bed, were you?
Gia: No.
Elizabeth: Then I want to stay with him, okay? Please, just for a little while.
Gia: Fine. Don't worry about me.
Elizabeth: Thank you, and, Gia --
Gia: Yeah?
Elizabeth: I know we've had our problems, we don't always get along, but I would really appreciate it if you could watch out for Lucky as best you can until all this really is behind us.
Gia: I'll try. If you'll do a favor for me in return?
Elizabeth: Sure. What?
Gia: Don't let Nikolas sell his whole soul, okay?
Elizabeth: It's a deal.
Sonny: Carly, you've said enough.
Carly: Where do you come off giving me orders? I risked everything for you.
Sonny: Carly, stop what you're --
Carly: You know, I didn't expect you to come flying right back into my arms, but I was looking at the bigger picture.
Sonny: Can we drop this right now?
Carly: After the way you tore into me, I don't feel like being dismissed by you.
Sonny: Okay, whatever you have to say to me, we can do it later.
Carly: I was trying to protect you --
Sonny: Carly --
Carly: Trying to keep you safe, but can you even understand that?
Sonny: Carly, come on!
Carly: Can you come up with the smallest shred of gratitude?
Sonny: I'm not --
Carly: Or maybe a little respect for the way I laid it on the line?
Sonny: We are not discussing this right here.
Carly: You know what? You should be thanking me.
Sonny: For what?
Carly: For caring about you and watching your back because I did not have to do what I did to Sorel --
Sonny: Shut the -- I said shut up.
Mac: Looks like we have a name to put at the head of the suspect list. Come on, come on, come on, come on. Give it up.
On the next "General Hospital" --
Melissa: I'm sorry. It's not a very good time.
Roy: You're not alone.
Gia: I want to help Lucky.
Elizabeth: So let me stay.
Angel: I thought you said I had nothing to worry about.
Alexis: I'm doing the best that I can.
Mac: Get to the point.
Carly: You want to know if I killed Joseph?
