>> Previously on "General Hospital" --

Sonny: Ric's alive, but the world's got to know that he's dead.

Emily: I told him that I choose you!

Zander: Doesn't matter. I'm done. I'm gone.

Nikolas: Go ahead and make the arrangements, and I'll marry her tomorrow.

Courtney: My God -- pregnant.

Sonny: Ric's alive in one of my safe houses. Cooperate, you may get to see Ric permanently.

Carly: You were a good man. You could've had a really good life.

Gia: You celebrating with a cup of coffee?

Zander: Wow, your hair looks great.

Gia: Oh, thank you.

Zander: What are you talking about, Gia?

Gia: You and Emily -- there's nothing standing in your way anymore.

Zander: What -- what do you mean?

Gia: You mean, no one told you?

Emily: Okay, thanks.

Monica: So, how are you doing?

Emily: Oh, I'm doing all right. The doctor said it'll probably be about 12 hours before I have a reaction, so --

Monica: Or maybe none at all. Remember, this is a different kind of chemo you're on this time.

Emily: Yep, I'm just going to try to think positive, so --

Monica: So am I.

Emily: Okay.

[Pager beeps]

Monica: Uh-oh. Oh, listen, I've got to take this. You going to be okay?

Emily: Yeah. I'm going to be fine, thanks, Mom.

Monica: I know. I love you.

Emily: I love you, too, Mom.

Monica: Okay, see you later.

Emily: All right. Bye.

Lucky: Emily?

Emily: Yeah?

Lucky: Listen, I need your help.

Emily: Okay, what do you need?

Lucky: Nikolas is about to marry Lydia.

Lydia: What do you think?

Stefan: You look lovely.

Lydia: What can I say? I'm resilient.

Stefan: Mm-hmm. Your tactics are risky but effective.

Lydia: I can see how you'd say that. Who cares if I O.D.'d, as long as a certain wedding takes place.

Stefan: Once that ring is on your finger, the Cassadines will be one of the wealthiest families in the world.

Lydia: Don't forget, Nikolas and I still hold the purse strings, Stefan.

Nikolas: Ready for the ceremony?

Lydia: What are you doing? You're not supposed to see me before the wedding. It's bad luck.

Nikolas: At this point, I don't think ours can get any worse.

Faith: Look at you, poor thing. Here you are back at the same miserable job Ric rescued you from. It's funny how life comes full circle.

Elizabeth: I happen to like my job.

Faith: You know what? You probably do. It suits you.

[Elizabeth groans]

Faith: It's too bad Ric didn't realize what a drab, limited little thing you really are before he threw his life away for you.

Elizabeth: I think we've been through this.

Faith: Yeah, well, grief is a process, indulge me. You tried to force him into a mold of the conventional, hopelessly boring husband that you wanted. And you know what? He cracked. Couldn't take the pressure. He made mistakes, and he paid with his life. Do you like that?

Elizabeth: You expect me to feel guilty? Forget it, because I'm glad Ric is dead.

Max: Got you some lunch.

Ric: Just leave it over there.

Max: You've been at it all night.

Ric: Alcazar's security system is state-of-the-art. It's almost impenetrable.

Max: Well, you better find a way in, or there's no reason to keep you alive.

Ric: I said "almost," Max. There are ways to get in and out without being detected. I'll get Carly out. Getting her home safely is the only way that I have a chance of getting my own life back.

Courtney: Yeah, my records are over at General Hospital. I'll just -- I'll have them transferred over after my appointment today. Okay, thanks.

Jason: Hey, what -- are you okay?

Courtney: Yeah, I'm just a little tired.

Jason: Why don't you go across the hall and get some rest?

Courtney: You know what? I'd -- I'd rather just get out, move around, get some fresh air. I mean, that always gives me energy.

[Knock on door]

Lorenzo: I have an appointment with Sonny.

Jason: He'll be down in a minute.

Lorenzo: What's the status of the shipment?

Sonny: It was unloaded last night. No complications.

Lorenzo: Where is it now?

Sonny: In a storage basement behind Pier 17.

Lorenzo: Well, I'll need access.

Sonny: Okay. First of all, I want something in return.

Carly: I'm so sorry. I can't believe I did this.

Man: Did what?

Carly: I was practicing backgammon and -- and I dropped some pieces under the table, and I can't really get on my hands and knees and get them, you know?

Man: That's it? You're all worked up over a backgammon piece?

Carly: You don't have to yell at me. I'm pregnant, okay? I get emotional sometimes. I just -- could you please -- do you mind just getting it for me?

Man: All right, just chill out.

Carly: I got -- actually, it's two pieces, so make sure you don't forget the -- there. Why don't you chill out?

Lucky: Okay, the wedding is about to start, so we have to get over to Wyndemere.

Emily: And do what, Lucky?

Lucky: Stop Nikolas from throwing his life away.

Emily: Nikolas has already made his decision.

Lucky: What, to marry a woman he doesn't even like?

Emily: He's doing what's best for his family.

Lucky: No, he's doing what's best for Stefan.

Emily: I am not crazy about Stefan, either. He's been incredibly pompous and condescending to me.

Lucky: Well, not to mention lethal.

Emily: That is the Spencer perspective, Lucky. You have to try to see it from Nikolas' point of view. All his life, Stefan has been like a father to him. Nikolas is incredibly loyal. He's always trying to do the right thing and that includes marrying Lydia.

Lucky: Emily, Nikolas doesn't want this. You know as well as I do that if he goes through this, he will spend the rest of his life in hell.

Emily: Lucky, it is not up to me to stop him.

Lucky: Emily, he's doing this for you. You told him that you love Zander. He is marrying Lydia to set you free.

Emily: Lucky, I'm sorry. There's nothing I can do.

Lucky: Correction -- there's nothing you will do. After all the ways Nikolas has tried to help you, you're just going to sit back and watch him make the worst decision of his life.

Monica: You ready to go?

Emily: No.

Monica: Are you all right?

Emily: No.

Monica: Sweetie, I'm sorry. Hey.

[Door opens]

Stefan: Alexis. I'm glad you could make it.

Alexis: Thanks for bailing me out of jail.

Stefan: I promised to protect you from the Quartermaines and I will.

Alexis: How are you?

Nikolas: As good as can be expected. Thanks for coming.

Alexis: Obviously, not a storybook wedding. I'm not going to say "congratulations." I love you. I hope you find happiness.

Nikolas: Yeah. Well, if I don't, rich and miserable is better than poor and miserable, right?

Alexis: So I've been told.

Nikolas: Yeah. Ooh, there's the judge now.

Stefan: How are you?

Lydia: Hi. Very nice to meet you. Alexis, I'm so glad you could make it.

Alexis: You're marrying a truly wonderful man. Try and appreciate him.

Lydia: Nikolas could show a little more appreciation himself. He's soon to become one of the richest men in the world, thanks to me.

Alexis: Nikolas cares a lot less about the money than you or Stefan. Keep in mind that he's marrying you out of a sense of obligation.

Stefan: Well, everyone, please take your places. We'd like to begin.

Judge: Do you have any special instructions, Mr. Cassadine?

Nikolas: Just get it over with.

Faith: You don't care Ric is dead? Weren't you just going on about how much you loved him?

Elizabeth: Yeah, well, I came to my senses. I went home and thought about all the ways Ric hurt me and how he put his obsessive need for revenge above everything else.

Faith: So what? You knew that and you still married him.

Elizabeth: Ric lied to me, filled me with greeting-card images of our future and the family we'd have. Meanwhile, he was keeping Carly locked up in our house, planning to steal her baby, and when it all started to unravel, he almost killed me. Not exactly the stuff of romance novels.

Faith: Well, depends which ones you read.

Elizabeth: I'm not going to make Ric out to be some noble or misunderstood hero. If he were to walk through that door alive right now, he'd still be dead to me.

Sonny: I held up my end of the deal. Now I want to see my wife.

Lorenzo: First, the drugs need to be picked up and delivered into the hands of a distributor.

Sonny: There's a steel access door from the alley.

Lorenzo: Wait for my call. You know, you're making this surprisingly easy, Sonny.

Sonny: Yeah, well, I told you I'd follow through.

Lorenzo: Yeah, well, the last time we tried this, you blew up my boat rather than let the shipment reach the docks.

Sonny: First of all, I never blew up a shipment. I stuck to the deal just like I'm doing now. It's your turn now to reciprocate. I want my pregnant wife returned to me.

Lorenzo: I'm beginning to understand your determination. Your wife is an extraordinary woman.

Sonny: You stay away from her.

Lorenzo: Your wife has the freedom to go anywhere she wants on that yacht. Naturally, when I'm onboard, we have occasional conversations. I'll be in touch.

Sonny: He's pushing this agreement way too far. I got to get -- I got to get Carly away from him.

Carly: I hope your head doesn't hurt too much. By the way, thanks for the clothes.

[Mike whistles]

Mike: Hey, Courtney.

Courtney: Daddy, hey.

Mike: Hey, honey. Hey -- ooh. Listen, why don't you have a seat. I'll treat you to lunch. Come on. The special today is a chili cheese omelet.

Courtney: Um -- maybe some herb tea.

Mike: You feeling okay?

Courtney: Not so great. I just -- um -- just been fighting this bug, and I -- I just can't seem to shake it.

Mike: Yeah, well, maybe you should see a doctor.

Courtney: No, I'll be all right, really.

Mike: Yeah?

Courtney: But, dad, I think I'm going to have to take a rain check on the tea. I'm going to go home and take a nap.

Mike: Oh -- hey, hey, hey. Honey, you're dizzy. Look, why don't -- I'll give you a drive home. That's the least I can do.

Courtney: No, no, I can make it, really.

Mike: Your keys in here?

Courtney: No, no, I'll get them. I'll get them, really.

Mike: Sweetheart -- are you pregnant?

Courtney: I just came from Mercy Hospital. They confirmed it.

Sonny: As long as Alcazar has Carly, he's got all the leverage he needs. I am not going to risk losing her and, you know, having her get hurt. He knows it.

Jason: Look, I understand that you're buying time to rescue Carly, but every time you move a shipment, you are solidifying Alcazar's position. You know that.

Sonny: Yes, but I need Alcazar secure and relaxed. It's the only way he's going to give me an opening. I got to get back on that boat.

Jason: So how did Carly seem when you saw her?

Sonny: She was fine. I mean, she seems strong. She even apologized for not being able to escape on her own.

Jason: I mean, it's good that she's pregnant. You know, preoccupied so she has to take care of that baby instead of doing something crazy to try to get away.

Sonny: The baby's the biggest part of it. Just keeps growing inside of her, you know. It just seems so delicate to have a -- a baby that big inside of her. Especially with everything she's been through.

Jason: I know that you're scared for Carly.

Sonny: Well, yeah.

Jason: She's strong.

Sonny: Right.

Jason: You know that.

Sonny: Mm-hmm.

Jason: She can be a pain sometimes. But when things get bad, she always steps up. And there's no way that she's going to let anything happen to that baby, and she's going to hold on until you get her back.

Sonny: I just don't know if I can hold on. I want my life back.

Faith: $5 million. Don't spend it all in one place.

Lorenzo: You're in a good mood.

Faith: Why shouldn't I be?

Lorenzo: Ric Lansing’s death springs to mind.

Faith: Well, Sonny ordered the killing. By doing business with you, I get the satisfaction of knowing that Sonny's hating every minute.

Lorenzo: So it's about payback?

Faith: Well, yes. That, and the satisfaction of, you know, doing a great business deal. Now, do you have the key?

Lorenzo: 5 million is a large investment for you.

Faith: Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Lorenzo: Your husband's financial interests were in ruins when he died.

Faith: Do you have a point?

Lorenzo: Who are you working with, Faith?

Faith: Ahem. You're not aware that I've been developing a relationship with the five families? My goodness, your sources are really slipping.

Lorenzo: The five families would never trust you with that kind of money.

Faith: Well, you know, they already have. But if you would rather sit here and interrogate me, we could just call the whole thing off. I'm sure I could find someone to take my money.

Lorenzo: A storage basement behind Pier 17.

Zander: Okay. So Nikolas and Lydia are getting married today.

Gia: You don't look as happy as I thought you'd be. Emily is free to be with you now.

Zander: Well, trust me on this, Gia, Emily still loves Nikolas.

Gia: No, she's in love with you, and you know that.

Zander: You know, who knows? Who the hell knows anymore, you know?

Gia: Come on, Zander, come on.

Zander: No. You know, Emily -- I never expected her to lie to me. But ever since she's been back from California, she's told me one lie after another.

Gia: Look, I'm not trying to be Emily's advocate here, but I know how much you love her.

Zander: Gia, I'm -- I'm not going to set myself up for another fall, you know?

Gia: Nikolas is marrying someone else. Emily doesn't have a future with him. She wants to be with you.

Zander: No, Gia. Nikolas has to marry Lydia for some family fortune, and Emily's letting him do it. That doesn't mean she's going to stop loving him. And I -- I am not going to be the guy that she's with out of pity or obligation.

Gia: Ever heard the expression "cut off your nose to spite your face"?

Zander: Yeah, well, it beats getting hurt down the road.

Gia: Where are you going?

Zander: I don't know.

Gia: You're not going to go off and do something crazy, are you?

Zander: You know, does it matter?

Gia: It does to me. I'm going to come with you, okay?

Judge: Marriage is not to be entered into unadvisedly, lightly, or wantonly, but reverently, discreetly, soberly --

Lucky: Why don't you just cut to the chase? Ask if anybody objects to this joke, because I sure as hell do.

Lydia: Lucky, what are you doing?

Lucky: It's a financial transaction, a marriage of convenience.

Stefan: Get out before I have you thrown out.

Lucky: You know what? I have as much right to be here as you do, maybe more since I am the only one looking out for Nikolas.

Stefan: Let's go.

Nikolas: I can handle this. I can handle this.

Stefan: I want him out of here now.

Lucky: Well, that's Nikolas' call.

Nikolas: It's okay.

Nikolas: Please don't do this.

Lucky: I can't watch you wreck your own life.

Nikolas: We've been over this --

Lucky: Well, just run over it again. I mean, you're the only one following your uncle's orders -- marrying someone you don't even like, don't even care about, much less even know, just to get your hands on a fortune. I understand why Stefan would do that, but what about you? I mean, think about years from now. You're sitting at the breakfast table, looking at a woman you don't even care about, I mean, day after day.

Nikolas: My family needs this.

Lucky: For what? Future Cassadines of generations after generations? Trust me; you'll be doing them a favor if you just walk away now.

Nikolas: I know it's hard for you to understand, but I'm asking you to accept my decision.

Lucky: Fine. I will -- if you can just look me in the eye and tell me that you're in love with her. A simple question very key to a marriage -- do you love her?

Emily: Nikolas loves me.

Carly: Hey, wait -- will you take it easy? I'm pregnant.

Man: We caught Mrs. Corinthos in the wheelhouse. She was trying to get out an S.O.S., but we shut it down in time.

Second man: She tricked me. She did this whole number on how she couldn't get a backgammon piece.

First man: Forget it. Get your clothes back on, pull it together before Mr. Alcazar gets back.

Second man: Take them off.

Carly: Well, I'd like a little privacy, please. Okay, well, I don't really think that Lorenzo would be very happy if he found out that you made me strip in front of you, especially after I escaped while you were supposed to be guarding me and someone else had to bring me back.

Man: Come on.

Carly: Oh, thank you. Thank you so much.

Courtney: Thanks. Okay, Daddy, you have to promise that you will not tell Jason.

Mike: Why not?

Courtney: Because Carly is gone. Jason has way too much stuff to deal with. This is the last thing that he needs to worry about.

Mike: Well, honey, I'm sure he would want to know.

Courtney: And I'll tell him. I will, as soon as Carly gets home.

Mike: But you can't put your lives on hold.

Courtney: Okay, Jason needs to focus all of his energy on finding Carly. I am not going to distract him.

Mike: Honey, a baby is more than a distraction.

Courtney: Okay, and I am capable of taking care of myself and my child. But if Jason or Sonny find out that I'm pregnant, they're going to send me away to the island to keep me safe and, no, Daddy, I don't want to be protected. I want to help find Carly.

Mike: So you're going to tell them when, next week? Next month? I mean, how do you think Jason is going to feel when he finds out that you've kept this a secret?

Courtney: I will make him understand.

Mike: Sweetheart, this is the biggest news of your lives. You need to tell Jason -- today.

Jason: I just -- I don't trust Alcazar. And every time that you see Carly, it's a risk, and who knows what's going to happen?

Sonny: He's not going to do anything to me because I'm too valuable to him. So what --

Marco: Hey --

Faith: I said I need to see Sonny. I'm not armed.

Sonny: Let her in, let her in. What are you doing here?

Faith: Is that any way to greet your business partner?

Sonny: Alcazar could've had you followed. You could've blown the whole deal!

Faith: I wasn't followed.

Sonny: Did you get the drugs? You pick them up?

Faith: Yeah. I moved them to the warehouse on Talmadge as agreed. I've done my part; now let's see you do yours.

[Phone rings]

Sonny: Excuse me. Hello.

Lorenzo: The merchandise is where you said it would be.

Sonny: Did you hand them to the distributor?

Lorenzo: The transaction went smoothly. Meet me at Pier 52 and I'll take you to see your wife as promised.

Sonny: I'll be there. It's handled.

Faith: Wait, wait, wait, wait -- I -- I did my end of the deal, you got to do yours. Where's Ric?

Sonny: Jason, you know what to do, right? Thanks.

Lydia: Get her out of here.

Alexis: Why don't we let them work this out themselves?

Stefan: Excuse me. I don't believe you were invited.

Nikolas: Emily and I need a moment alone, please.

Stefan: Nikolas, this is your wedding day.

Nikolas: If she has something to say, I want to hear it.

Stefan: You're treating Lydia with an appalling lack of respect.

Lucky: No, that would be you, Count Vlad. You're the only one that's been shoving Lydia and Nikolas together since day one.

Emily: Lucky said you were getting married today. I told him I wouldn't come, but I had to.

Nikolas: Why?

Emily: Because I am not going to stand by and do nothing. Nikolas, I love you too much.

Nikolas: If you're saying you want to be with me, I'll call this wedding off right now.

Ric: Jason, I've worked out most of the floor plans on the compound, but I just need a little bit more time.

Faith: Hello, Ric.

Jason: We need the plans by tomorrow.

Ric: I don't know why you're here, but I'm busy.

Faith: You might try showing a little gratitude.

Ric: For?

Faith: Well, I made a deal with Sonny so that you would be protected.

Ric: I see. What kind of a deal?

Faith: Let's just say that you are alive because of me.

Ric: You have nothing to do with that. See, Sonny needs these plans to help get Carly back, and I'm the only one who can provide them.

Faith: Well, it's more complicated than that. I am taking a substantial risk to save your life --

Ric: Good for you.

Faith: Which, by the way, is more than I can say for that two-faced little wife of yours.

Ric: You've seen Elizabeth?

Faith: Yeah. I ran into her today. Seems she's rediscovered her true destiny -- pouring coffee for the masses.

Ric: You stay away from her, you understand me?

Faith: Oh, goodness, still so protective. You don't actually think the two of you are going to get back together when all of this is over, do you?

Ric: Did she mention my name?

Faith: Yeah. Yeah, a couple of choice one-liners -- like, "I'm glad Ric is dead" and -- my favorite -- "if he walked through that door right now, he'd still be dead to me."

Ric: No, you're making that up.

Faith: Really? Doesn't every whiny, self-righteous word sound just like her?

Ric: You're incapable of telling the truth, Faith.

Faith: Oh, okay. Let me put it to you like this -- if she still had a thing for you, I would've killed her. See, which I still can do. You can't protect her from in here. I, though, might be inclined to -- ahem -- change my mind if you were to make me happy.

Ric: I see. So, you're blackmailing me in order to get me to sleep with you?

Faith: After everything I've done for you, it's the least you could do.

[Zander sighs]

Gia: Are you sure you're going to be okay?

Zander: Yeah. You don't have to worry about me. I'm -- I'm sticking around here. You don't have to stay.

Gia: Maybe I want to stay. You know, I think nobly stepping aside was a huge mistake. I mean, it hasn't worked well for anyone so far, has it? Maybe it's time we tried something different.

Nikolas: If you're telling me that you want a future with me, I will walk away from Lydia and I will never look back.

Emily: Nikolas, I can't tell you want you want to hear.

Nikolas: Then there's no reason for you to stay here.

Emily: Nikolas, you listen to me. You shouldn't marry someone you don't love.

Nikolas: It doesn't matter anymore.

Emily: Of course it does. Nikolas, you have so much to give. You don't know who you'll meet, okay, or how you'll feel.

Nikolas: I do know.

Emily: Nikolas, I'm so sorry.

Nikolas: Why did you come here?

Emily: I came to say goodbye.

Lydia: What a touching exit. Now it's your turn. Run after her. Turn your back on everything to be with the wilting flower.

Nikolas: No. We'll get married, and you'll have your money. But I need to do something first.

Courtney: Hey.

Jason: Hey.

Courtney: Welcome back.

Jason: How do you feel?

Courtney: Much better.

Jason: Good.

Courtney: Yeah. Michael's asleep. It's Leticia’s night off, so we're babysitting. Unless you have to work.

Jason: No.

Courtney: Good. Everything's been so crazy. I just -- I need some time alone with you.

Zander: I think you we're right.

Gia: About what?

Zander: Nobly stepping aside is overrated.

[Phone rings]

Gia: Ugh. Go ahead, answer it.

Zander: Sorry. Hello.

Nikolas: Zander, it's Nikolas.

Zander: What do you want?

Nikolas: Emily -- she just came by Wyndemere, and the wedding had already started. She just left.

Zander: Why are you telling me this?

Nikolas: She's upset, she needs you.

Gia: That was about Emily, wasn't it?

Zander: Yeah. She went to Nikolas' wedding. He said she needs me.

Gia: Then you better go to her.

Nikolas: Sorry for the delay.

Nikolas: Can we pick up where we left off?

Judge: Certainly.

[Music plays]

Lydia: What was that about?

Nikolas: Unfinished business.

Lydia: Think you've managed to finish it?

Nikolas: For the time being.

Judge: Lydia Maria, do you take Nikolas to be your wedded husband to love and to honor above all others, in sickness and in health, for richer, for poorer, so long as you both shall live?

Lydia: I do.

Judge: Nikolas Mikhail, do you take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife, to love and to honor above all others, in sickness and in health, for richer, for poorer –

Courtney: Well, we just finished the last of Carly's frozen-pizza stash.

Jason: And that is going to make Sonny very happy.

Courtney: Don't you dare tell him. Seriously, I am restocking that freezer the minute Carly gets back. God, I keep saying that, "when she gets back," like -- I don't know, like our life is on hold until that happens.

Jason: I know it's tough for you because you don't want us to sit around and wait all the time.

Courtney: Look, I'm not complaining. Okay? I want to do whatever I can to help, but -- I don't know, I guess the waiting just makes me think about all of our plans -- the wedding, traveling, us having a family.

Jason: It's all going to happen.

Courtney: Yeah, I know. I know, but I guess it just goes to show that you sometimes have to be flexible. You know, I mean, things happen that you don't always expect.

Jason: What things?

Courtney: I don't know. I mean, like us, for example. I mean --

Jason: Yeah?

Courtney: Yeah, everything we've been through has pretty much been unexpected.

Jason: Well, I like the unexpected.

Courtney: Good. Because, um -- something happened that -- that surprised me.

Faith: You know I've got it in me to kill Elizabeth. I have tried before.

Ric: Yeah, so this is how you get a man into bed, huh, by threatening him?

Faith: Whatever.

Ric: Yeah, okay. All right, then. Then let's go. Huh? Right here. Huh? Right now. You listen to me, I don't want you. I'll be thinking about my wife the whole time -- her face, her body. But, hey, if this is the way you want it, what you'd do anything to get, huh? Let's go for it.

Faith: Stop it.

Ric: Come on.

Faith: Stop it!

Ric: Come on, Faith. Come on, what's wrong?

Faith: When are you going to get it?

Ric: You don't like it?

Faith: I am not some consolation prize! I'm not something you get for losing your insipid little wife! I am the best thing that ever happened to you.

[Noise]

Lorenzo: I brought you a present.

Lorenzo: Not till I get my charts back.

Carly: What charts?

Lorenzo: Your husband's gone to a lot of trouble to be here. Be a shame for you to waste your time together.

Sonny: There's no need to touch her like that.

Lorenzo: It was accidental, I assure you. Enjoy yourselves.

Carly: Oh, Sonny.

[Carly sighs]

Lorenzo: Take this to the wheelhouse.

Man: She had time to get a good look at them.

Lorenzo: Mrs. Corinthos can tell her husband every detail of our location. Those charts are a week old.

Carly: I'm so sorry.

Sonny: Why?

Carly: I wanted to get a look at those charts so I could figure out where we were, but I didn't have a chance.

Sonny: Wait, wait, wait, wait. I got something for you. Look at that. Talk.

Carly: How's Michael doing? Is he any better? Is he still missing -- me, and did you tell him I love him?

Sonny: Yeah.

Carly: Yeah?

Sonny: Yeah.

Carly: God, I missed you.

Sonny: Oh. I missed you, too.

Carly: I think about you every night.

Sonny: Yeah?

Carly: And I wish your arms were around me and we could go to sleep together. And I could wake up with you next to me in the morning.

Sonny: I'm going to get you home as soon as I can, okay?

Carly: I love you, Sonny.

>> On the next "General Hospital" --

Zander: She loves Nikolas.

Gia: No, she loves the both of you.

Lydia: You can't do this. You agreed.

Ric: So what you're saying is that we deserve each other, huh? I have to agree.

Carly: I love you, Sonny.

Jason: Is everything okay?
