General Hospital Transcript Thursday 12/13/01
>> Previously on "General Hospital" --
Skye: Thank you again for the temporary proxy at the upcoming board meeting.
Ned: My grandfather said that I couldn't turn you into a star, but I can. Let me try.
Luke: I could use your help in pulling this scam off.
Carly: You have to tell Sonny. Don't let him find out from somebody else.
Sonny: What is your connection to a man named Mike Corbin?
Skye: Well, you might as well tell me.
A.J.: Tell you what?
Skye: The news that's put you in such a cheery mood.
A.J.: There is no news, Skye. And I'm starting to doubt there ever will be. Sonny's still out there doing whatever the hell he wants. Who do you have to pay off to get a break around here, huh?
Skye: I take it you didn't find out where Janine was hiding.
A.J.: Sonny's an expert at hiding people. You can't beat him at his own game. It's time for flat-out revenge.
Skye: You'll get your revenge by sticking to the plan.
A.J.: There is no plan, Skye. Not without Janine. Grandfather thinks he's won because he's got Corinthos hiding Janine. Trust me -- he's in for the shock of his life.
Skye: Okay. All right. Time to take a breath and a giant step back.
A.J.: Yeah, right, after I alert every media outlet I can think of. Wait till they hear exactly what Janine did with Grandfather and why Corinthos is hiding her.
[Door opens]
Kristina: You're back.
Alexis: You sound surprised.
Kristina: Well, I thought you and Sonny were going to stay in Puerto Rico a few more days.
Alexis: Well, our legal dispute got resolved earlier than anticipated, and he got a call that his wife was having some trouble.
Kristina: Ex-wife.
Alexis: That would be between Sonny and Carly. It would have nothing to do with us.
Kristina: Well, the less I hear about Carly, the better. But I want to know about you. How was the trip? How was the hotel and the weather and the nightlife?
Alexis: Business went extremely well under the circumstances.
Kristina: Well, if that is what they wear for business in Puerto Rico, then get me on the next flight over. Come on, Alexis, you know that I'm going to keep bugging you till you tell me the truth. What is Sonny really like under the moonlight without any clothes?
Janine: Thank you, Max.
Sonny: I'm a reasonable man, Ms. Matthews. People cooperate with me, I reciprocate. Now, max tells me he found you in a less than comfortable motel room. Now that you're my guest, you're going to be treated with respect. That can continue if you tell me how you know a man named Mike Corbin.
Janine: Well, I don't really know what kind of an answer it is you're looking --
Sonny: I'm looking for an honest answer, actually. Now, this doesn't have to be awkward or upsetting. I already know you're blackmailing Edward Quartermaine. He came to me for help. You're not in trouble -- yet. Now, I can get you in a better situation if you give me a straight answer.
Janine: Uh -- well, Mike Corbin and I were, you know, acquaintances.
Sonny: When and where were you acquainted?
Janine: Let me think.
Sonny: Why would you think about an honest answer? Now, if there's a secret, Janine, I'm going to find out about it. I always do.
Zander: Carly -- I'm sorry. I -- I can't believe that just happened. I'm sorry. I didn't know -- I don't know what I'm doing. I don't know why that just happened. I don't know why I did that.
Carly: I do.
Man: Your ticket, Sir? We cast off in 40 minutes.
Luke: 40 minutes. Very good. Let's see. My ticket. My baggage claim.
Man: Very good, Mr. Johnson. I'll see that your bags are stowed. Is Mrs. Johnson aboard?
Luke: No, but I expect her closer to departure time.
Man: Yes, Sir. Have a pleasant voyage.
Luke: Thank you very much.
Luke: Hey.
[Man and woman chuckle]
Luke: I was afraid perhaps retirement had slowed the two of you down, but I see you're right on the money as usual.
Man: We've never missed a rendezvous yet.
Woman: Oh, it's wonderful to see you.
Luke: You, too, Ellen. Wait -- what names are you using this trip?
Man: Would you believe our real ones?
Ellen: Yes, we're off of the spy game. No secret identities required. Unless, of course, you want them for this job.
Man: What exactly are we supposed to do on this mission?
Luke: We are going to show a great lady a good time.
Laura: Hi. Oh, hey, thanks for coming.
Lesley: Is everything okay?
Laura: Yeah, fine, fine. I just want to know if I go away for, well, a little mission with Luke, do you think you could stay with Lulu for a while?
Lesley: Uh -- oh -- what kind of mission?
Laura: I don't know exactly.
Lesley: For how long?
Laura: It's a few days, according to Luke.
Lesley: Um, okay. I'm a little confused. Wasn't that you just a couple of days ago who was saying to me how happy you were and how much you were enjoying the peace and quiet?
Laura: Uh-huh. Yeah, that was me.
Lesley: And how full your life is? You have your company, you have your children, and that's really all you need?
Laura: I know. I guess, you know, it's just a little too peaceful and quiet for me. I know it's hard to understand.
Lesley: Yeah, well, sure. Why not? Okay. Understandable. Look at the last few months. We see all that danger. We see all that pressure. You probably just haven't given yourself enough time to, you know, kind of readjust.
Laura: Yeah, I'm sure that's part of it.
Lesley: Yeah, but, but, but, but -- but -- big important but -- there's a big difference between, you know, wanting to spark up your life a little bit and going off on a mission with Luke.
Laura: It's just that he said he really, really needed my help.
Lesley: Yeah, well, I -- I love Luke. You know I love Luke. But I'm a little more concerned with what you need right now.
Laura: You don't think I should go.
Lesley: I think we're way past the point where I get to tell you what to do.
Laura: It's -- it's not because of the danger, is it?
Lesley: No, no. Yeah, sure -- no. Well, not -- it's not the physical danger. I'm really concerned about the risk you'd be taking with your heart. You'd be off on a mission with Luke, and you're probably visualizing romantic adventures like you used to have when it was just you and Luke and you were depending only upon each other. But this is now, and you've just separated your lives.
Laura: I am aware of all of that, Mother.
Lesley: And I don't want to see you setting yourself up for a huge disappointment. I don't want to see you get hurt. I'm sorry. Um -- okay. Okay. Um -- taking care of Lulu -- we understand -- not an issue, so -- if you tell me that this is what you honestly feel is the very best thing for you, then I will support you. Honest. And if you tell me that what you really want is to just stay put and leave things as they are peacefully, then I'll be right there behind you on that.
Laura: You're not helping me at all.
Lesley: Yeah, well, I could give you advice. I could, you know, try to make sure that you consider all of the consequences. But bottom line -- baby, this is about you. What do you want?
Luke: Um --
Luke: I so appreciate the two of you jumping in like this at the last moment.
Ellen: Well, you sent us tickets to a cruise.
Man: And offered an adventure risk-free. How could we say no?
Ellen: Besides, we miss undercover ops -- not that we'd want to go back to it as a career, mind you. But a weekend caper here or there keeps things interesting. Right, darling?
Luke: Hopefully the lady will feel the same way.
Ellen: I take it you're referring to your wife? What was her name? Laura?
Luke: Yes, Laura. Actually, my ex-wife at the moment. We broke up for reasons -- well, a lot of them I could do nothing about. But the one thing that we had that we're still good at is that we are terrific together out on the edge. We can improvise with the best of them. We can jump out blind and just trust the other will land safely. We're -- we're going to remind her of that.
Man: How?
Luke: Well, think of it as a Hitchcock movie with the two of you as the villains.
Man: D.V.A.? K.G.B.? S.I.S.?
Luke: Perfect. Whatever suits your fancy. Vince, you're the agent. You brought Ellen along as a cover. You're on this ship to pass off a stolen microchip to somebody.
Vince: While you keep us under surveillance with the assistance of Laura?
Luke: Exactly.
Ellen: Mm-hmm. And if we're strolling under the stars, you and Laura will be behind us, hand in hand. And if we're dancing, you'll be dancing next to us. And if Laura just happens to enjoy being in your arms, so much the better.
Luke: God, am I that transparent?
[Ellen and Vince chuckle]
Luke: That's it. Do you think you can get behind it?
Ellen: Oh, without a doubt. But I think you've overlooked a serious problem.
Carly: Look, your hand -- it's still bleeding --
Zander: No, don’t.
Carly: Hey, Zander, it's okay.
Zander: After what I just did to you?
Carly: You didn't do anything wrong.
Zander: You are Sonny's wife. I never should've touched you.
Carly: Ex-wife.
Zander: That doesn't make any difference! Why would I try and kiss you? Why would I grab you and --
Carly: Okay, you know what? It was Emily. All right? That kiss -- it had everything to do with what happened just now between you and her, okay? You just lost the person that you love.
Zander: So I grab you without any reasons? I've done a lot of crazy things, but there's no reason --
Carly: You were hurt. You were angry. You weren't thinking clearly.
Zander: Don't make excuses for me, all right? I already feel like crap.
Carly: Well, you shouldn't, okay? Look, nobody is blaming you.
Zander: Well, you should be! You come up here to help me. I grab you and start --
Carly: Zander, Zander, I understand, okay? Anybody would. The girl that you love, the girl that you have risked your life for -- she just told you that she loves someone else.
Zander: What is happening to me? Why can't I control myself? Why do I do these things?
Carly: Look, you were hurt, and you acted spontaneously. You know, it's not the end of the world.
Zander: You don't get it. I was trying to change. I was trying to think before I do stupid things. What do I do? I grab you to kiss you? Why would I do something like that?
Carly: Because you know what? It's going to wreck everything, and that is exactly what you want right now. You want to hurt yourself and everyone -- especially yourself. You know, I know how this works, okay, because I've lived my entire life like that.
A.J.: Fine. I'll use my cell phone.
Skye: Major mistake.
A.J.: What's with you? Why are you defending Sonny and Grandfather? I thought we were in this together.
Skye: We are. Which is why I'm trying to stop you from hanging yourself, A.J. Actions have consequences. Engage your brain. If you go public now, you'll have a minor impact on Grandfather's reputation. Big deal.
A.J.: Try public scandal.
Skye: And how do you think that will affect Grandmother, hmm? She really believes that Grandfather loves her. Do you want her to question that, to feel rejected? I don’t. Look, I have spent half my life screwing up because I let my emotions get ahead of my brain. You of all people should know that that's a recipe for disaster.
A.J.: I over E -- intelligence over emotions. That's what they teach you in the program.
Skye: Yeah. "Self will run riot." A.J., if you want to stay in this game with Sonny and Grandfather, you got to stay cool and clear-headed. Because if you don't, they're going to hurt you way more than you will ever hurt them.
A.J.: I'll try and remember that. Thanks.
Alan: h.
Skye: How much did you hear?
Alan: Most of it. I'm very proud of you, Skye.
Skye: Be careful, Dad. You just might be making the biggest mistake of your life.
Sonny: There must be a reason why you don't want to discuss your relationship with Mike Corbin.
Janine: But I told you we were acquaintances.
Sonny: Okay, you're stalling, which either means you're waiting for me to offer you money or you're hiding something -- or protecting someone. Who? Mike? Is he helping you run this scam on Edward Quartermaine? Huh?
[Knock on door]
Sonny: Max, can you get that please?
Mike: Max, I need to see --
Sonny: Oh, for once you're on time. Janine was about to tell me how she knew you. Maybe -- maybe you can fill in the blanks, Mike.
Alexis: For your informa-- Sonny and I do not have that kind of relationship.
Kristina: So, then, what kind of relationship do you and Sonny have?
Alexis: Business. We are also friends, but we were there on business.
Kristina: Uh-huh.
Alexis: We had a legal dispute to handle. It was negotiated. It was settled. I was brilliant. Thank you very much for asking.
Kristina: Oh, I have no doubt you were.
Alexis: We did a little socializing. It was nothing worth mentioning.
Kristina: Look, I'm your sister. I'm not the grand inquisitor. But I just want you to be honest with me.
Alexis: That dress -- that dress that I bought? I bought it because there was a dress code. It was the only way to get into the casino after 6:00.
Kristina: Oh, so you gambled?
Alexis: Yes, I did. I gambled. I won at roulette. I lost at blackjack.
Kristina: It sounds like a lot of fun.
Alexis: It was. It was fun. But the one thing that didn't happen was that I did not see Sonny under the moonlight with his clothes off.
Kristina: No moon?
Alexis: We were a couple of friends blowing off some steam for one night. I don't know why everyone seems to have a big, old problem with that. Nothing happened! And I'm back here, the same as always. There was no romantic interlude, Kristina. Honestly, I swear, I'm here the same as I was before I left.
Kristina: The same. Well, you don't seem the same to me. You seem a little defensive.
Alexis: I had a good time with a good friend. It was very simple. It was very uncomplicated. I laughed a little. I danced a little.
Kristina: With Sonny?
Alexis: Of course I danced with him! He's the only man I knew on the island!
Kristina: I just get the feeling that you're still leaving out the juicy parts.
Alexis: Those were the juicy parts. Then he got a call from his wife saying that she was having a problem, so he needed to go home, so we came home. You can ask me till the cows come home, and the answer will consistently be that's all there is.
Kristina: I'm just finding it hard to believe that you would miss Nikolas' engagement party and Stefan publicly --
Alexis: Kristina, please --
Kristina: Welcoming us into the Cassadine family if it was just for some gambling and for some dancing. How do you really feel about Sonny?
Alexis: Oh, God.
Mike: Look, you're -- you're busy. I'll come back another time.
Sonny: Why don't you stay, Mike? You can explain some things to me, since Janine hasn't been as helpful as I'd have hoped.
Mike: Helpful about what?
Sonny: Oh, why she's here, you know, what her relationship with you is.
Mike: Janine.
Janine: Mike. It's really good to see you again.
Mike: Yeah. You, too. Listen -- uh -- could you give a minute alone with my son?
Janine: Your son?
Sonny: Max, you want to drive Janine back to where she's staying? I think -- I think we're finished here. And you make sure that you tell Max whatever you need to make your stay more comfortable.
Janine: Thank you very much.
Sonny: All right.
Janine: It's a real pleasure to meet you, Mr. Corinthos.
Sonny: Yeah.
Janine: You know, I got to tell you that I would never, ever have guessed that you were Mike Corbin’s son. I --
[Janine and Sonny laugh]
Janine: Ah.
Mike: I've been meaning to tell you about Janine and me.
Sonny: Here's your chance.
Luke: What could go wrong? I've arranged everything -- a romantic cruise under Caribbean skies. Deluxe accommodations, complete with sinister foreign agents played by two of the best ex-spies in the business. What possibly could be the problem?
Ellen: Well, speaking for myself, I don't like being lied to. Particularly by Vince.
Luke: But you're spies and you're married. How can you not lie to each other?
Vince: Why do you think we retired? So we wouldn't have to.
Ellen: I'm simply pointing out that I don't think that Laura would appreciate being deceived by her own husband. Oh, I'm sorry -- ex-husband.
Luke: That is precisely why she must never know. Look, we're all professionals. Let's just play it by the book. Treat it like a real caper. Make us work to get back that microchip. The only difference here is that we don't have to worry about being shot.
Vince: You're picking up the tab. We'll play this any way you like.
Luke: Now, that's an attitude I can appreciate, so let's go to work. Make me believe you're out to sell out the free world.
Vince: Our pleasure.
Ellen: Good luck, Luke. I hope it turns out the way you want.
Luke: Me, too.
Luke: Welcome aboard, darling. The goose flies at night.
Luke: Oh. Hi.
[Woman laughs]
Woman: I have to admit that's the most wonderful pickup line I've ever heard.
Luke: Well, wrong pickup. My mistake. I'm sorry.
Woman: Actually, I think I'm the one who's sorry.
[Horn]
Luke: Excuse me.
Man: 30 minutes to departure. All visitors please prepare to go ashore. 30 minutes to departure.
Luke: Oh, come on, darling. Come on. Time to save the world. Ah, to hell with the world. Save me. Save me.
Alan: I heard you trying to help A.J., trying to teach him to learn from his mistakes. That's an admirable thing to do.
Skye: You don't understand.
Alan: Explain it to me.
Skye: I want you to love me, not someone who doesn't exist.
Alan: I do love you.
Skye: I didn't stop A.J. because I want him to be a better person, okay? I stopped him because I want him to be a smarter one, someone who can do me some real good. Look, if A.J.'s going to be any help to me at all as an ally, he can't go derailing our plans every time he doesn't get what he wants. I can't spend my time cleaning up after him. I -- I can't do that. I don't have the time. I need him to be effective.
Alan: Well, that doesn't sound like your A.A. program.
Skye: I'm not exactly the poster child for Alcoholics Anonymous, am I? I'm not even close. I don't have a real sponsor, I haven't worked on any of my character defects, and I'm filled with resentment. So, please, please do not praise me for something that I'm not, okay? I'm too far down a much different road.
Alan: Well, it's not too late for you to stop.
Zander: That hurts.
Carly: Yeah. Well, good. It's supposed to. It means it's disinfected now.
Zander: I can't believe you were going to be a nurse.
Carly: I'd have been awful, huh?
Zander: Yeah, basically, unless your point is to hurt me.
Carly: Oh, yeah, I'm punishing you for kissing me.
Zander: Yeah. Something like that.
Carly: Look, Zander, all you did was kiss me because you were hurting. You didn't shoot anybody. You didn't seduce your mother's husband or conceive a child while you were drunk. You didn't sleep with the best friend of the person you love. Did you? No, that was me. I did all those things, Zander, because I just keep trashing my life over and over again for the same reason -- because I am angry and lashing out, just like you did tonight. Okay, you know, we aren't all that different. Except I think you've got a little more self-control.
Zander: All right, fine, you understand, but no excuse. No excuse.
Carly: Look, Zander, we're human, okay, just like everybody else. It's -- we have emotions, and sometimes they take control. It's not that big a deal.
Zander: Emily was everything to me. Before her, my life was nothing -- empty and pointless and going nowhere. She made me care. She made me a whole different person. Now that she's gone, I feel like it's all slipping. How do I -- how do I -- how do I keep myself from becoming what I was?
Carly: You know, I wish I could tell you. But I'm still working on that myself.
[Zander sighs]
Carly: Hey -- you know, you said you'd help me, right? You know, you stopped me from calling Sonny in Puerto Rico. So here's the deal -- we're going to look out for each other. I'm going to stop you from doing things that are crazy and you're going to do the same for me. All right? Do we have a deal?
Sonny: Max told me that you came by with Carly while I was gone.
Mike: Yeah, she -- she wanted to pick up some of Michael’s toys that were left upstairs.
Sonny: And you came by to help her carry them?
Mike: Was that a problem?
Sonny: Uh-uh. Not at all. I'm glad that you're close because she's going through a divorce. It's hard on her, no matter what she says.
Mike: Did it ever occur to you to forgive her?
Sonny: I tried, Mike.
Mike: What does that mean?
Sonny: It means I told her the truth -- that I love her, I don't want to lose her, but I can't forget what she did and I can't promise that if she ever did it again I'm just going to accept it and act like, you know, I can just go on. Betrayal lasts, and when it happens, it burns everything out of you. If you don't love, you don't hurt. You don't feel anything. Carly didn't want to take that chance. I don't blame her.
Mike: I did this to you, Michael.
Sonny: No, you didn't do it. Mike, I've learned to survive. You walking out just made it happen faster.
Mike: You know that if there was any way that I could change any of that --
Sonny: Okay, just tell me the truth now. How do you know this Janine?
Mike: We met at a casino. I was on my own, she was a looker and interested, and we hit it off right away.
Sonny: Yeah? Where?
Mike: In Reno. I mean, one thing led to another, and we ended up in a relationship.
Sonny: That's it?
Mike: Pretty much, yeah.
Sonny: So you're telling me you had this affair with this woman and that's the big secret between you?
Mike: You make me nervous, Michael, because I never know what it is that's going to turn you against me.
Sonny: It only bothers me when people lie to me.
Mike: I never told you about Janine because I was worried how you were going to take it. That is all.
Sonny: Oh, so that's why you and Carly were so anxious to find her?
Mike: You know about that?
Sonny: Carly's a lot of things, but discreet isn't one of them. So the fact that you had a relationship with this Janine lady -- is that why you were so afraid to tell me? Or is there something else I don't know?
Sonny: I have no reason to trust Janine. What little I know about her doesn't impress me. Funny thing -- when I asked her about you, she got very quiet. I don't know why -- I mean, since she doesn't know that I'm your son. Now, I can accept that, you know, you didn't want me to know about your, you know, affair with this woman, but why didn't she?
Mike: I -- I can't speak for Janine. I mean, we haven't been together in years. Look, I was totally shocked when I saw her again. She used to work in a casino, and you have a certain reputation, and I'm not surprised that she was intimidated.
Sonny: Oh, so that's it? She was intimidated? You were nervous? End of story?
Mike: I overreacted when I heard that your men had picked up Janine. I -- I never told you about her because I didn't know how you would take it and I was worried about that. That's all. And, yes, that is the big secret.
Sonny: You sure?
Mike: I'm sure.
Sonny: In that case, you know, I -- I appreciate you being honest enough to come by here and tell me yourself.
Mike: I'm glad I did. Hey -- you got things to do. So do I. Um -- I'm happy you're -- you're back and safe, Michael.
Zander: It's a deal. We'll watch out for each other.
Carly: Good. So we're past it, right? We're going to agree that you did something that didn't mean anything to either of us and just moving on?
Zander: As long as you're okay.
Carly: Now, you got your heart broken, thanks to A.J. You have a right to go a little insane.
Zander: Well, thanks for being cool about this. You're pretty amazing.
Carly: Yeah -- you're not so bad yourself. You -- you want a hand cleaning this place up?
Zander: Yeah, if you want to. You know, thank God this place is a dump or -- I can afford to replace anything that's broken.
[Phone rings]
Zander: Hello?
Sonny: Zander? It's Sonny.
Ellen: If Laura stands him up, she's out of her mind.
[Horn]
Luke: She'll be here. She will. She will. She'll be here.
Alexis: That's it. We are not going to discuss this anymore. Sonny is a client. He is a friend. We are not going to revisit this for the 500th time. Now we're going to talk about you and what I missed. How was the party?
Kristina: The party was beautiful.
Alexis: I'm sorry I missed it.
Kristina: We missed you. I missed you. Jax missed you. Stefan missed you. Ned missed you.
Alexis: It couldn't be helped. And I am glad that Stefan was so welcoming to you.
Kristina: Do you know that he wants me to call myself Kristina Cassadine?
Alexis: I would think about that carefully.
Kristina: Oh, no, you sound like Ned. Ned was all concerned.
Alexis: For good reason.
Kristina: Are you going to start lecturing me?
Alexis: See, it's not so fun to be on the receiving end of this. But I'm going to let you off the hook. What'd you wear?
Kristina: Well, something absolutely inappropriate, which Gia didn't think worked, but Stefan gave me a dress.
Alexis: Whose?
Kristina: It was a copy of the one our mother wore on her album cover. He had it made for me. I mean, can you believe that? He has gone out of his way to welcome me into the family. I -- I -- I can't even describe it to you.
Alexis: I'm happy for you, Kristina. I'm happy for all of us.
Kristina: I just can't believe how everything has been going so well in my life -- professionally and personally.
Alexis: Professionally?
Kristina: Ned wants to make me a rock star.
Alexis: Forget it.
Skye: I love you for being so optimistic.
Alan: I have faith in you, Skye. You should have faith in yourself.
Skye: I'm afraid I know myself a little too well.
Alan: Hey, watch it. That's my daughter you're being a little tough on.
Skye: Just realistic. I don't think I could stop myself if I wanted to -- assuming I wanted to, which I don’t. You see, for the first time in my life, I feel like I'm in control and I'm finally going to get what I deserve, what's been denied for me for far too long.
Alan: I'm not your higher power. I can't change you. I've tried to do that with people I love. It doesn't work. You got to make your own decisions. All I can do is just tell you what I think and how I feel. And the most important thing of all is that I'm your father, and there isn't anything you can do that will scare me off or stop me from loving you.
Skye: Jax? It's Skye. I have a surprise for you. Something I think you're really going to like.
Janine: I -- I backed into a situation here that I think is a true gold mine. Well, I don't know how it's all going to pan out yet, but I think our financial situation is about to make a change for the better. No. Uh-uh, no. No, you stay right where you are, and I'm going to be home soon. Bye.
Zander: Could you hang on a second? Could you give me a second? It's business.
Carly: Yeah, sure. You know, I should call Michael anyway, check on him.
Zander: Yeah. Sorry. I'm here.
Sonny: Thanks for telling me about Janine and Mike.
Zander: Whatever was going on, it has nothing to do with you.
Sonny: What Mike does is his responsibility. You just warned me, and I appreciate that. He's hiding something, and I'm going to find out what it is. But you do me a favor, okay? You look after Carly, make sure you listen to her, and don't let her do anything crazy.
Zander: Sure. Whatever you want. Ahem. Michael okay?
Carly: Oh, yeah. He's great. He's playing dump truck -- his favorite activity. We're okay, too, right?
Zander: Sure. It's all good.
[Horn]
Luke: Sorry.
Man: Please, Sir, you'll have to step aside. We're on an extremely tight schedule.
Luke: Well, you can wait a few more minutes?
Man: I'm sorry. Time of departure is strictly enforced. No exceptions. We've got the tugs and the pilots ready to go.
Luke: Five minutes.
Man: Sir, either step aside or I'll call ship's security.
Luke: Oh, I'm sorry. Excuse me.
Laura: I made it. Where do we begin?
>> On the next "General Hospital" --
Alexis: I just think it's a mistake.
Kristina: Are you against me singing?
Carly: Zander, what's wrong?
Edward: What are you up to?
Skye: Getting rid of Sonny once and for all.
Jax: Why do you know so much about Carly's club?
Laura: We're on our way.
Luke: Any second thoughts?
