Reva: You don't think Marah's found out about Tony already, do you?

Josh: I guess we'll know the minute she walks in the door. I'm just trying to figure out how it is we're going to convince her that everything is going to be all right.

Reva: We won't be able to. She's going to be heart broken. She loves him.

Josh: She's going to have to get over him, Reva.

Reva: It's not going to be that easy. She loves him the same way I loved you-- that overwhelming, powerful kind of love.

Josh: Reva, honey...

Reva: She's has incredible faith in him.

Josh: Tony can't be an option for her anymore.

Reva: It may not be that easy, because sometimes you love harder when you know that the whole world is against you.

Marah: You two are worse than teenagers.

Reva: Marah.

Marah: And you're going to have the house all to yourself, because I have a study group to go to.

Reva: Honey, we need to talk to you about Tony.

Marah: I really should hurry. I don't want to be late.

Reva: Does the study group involve notebooks?

Marah: All right. I am going to the hospital to talk to talk to Maria Santos' doctor.

Josh: Marah, just sit down for a minute. We want you...

Marah: I know that she saw something the night of the murder. I don't know, maybe she's involved somehow. All I know is that Tony is not defending himself and maybe she knows why.

Josh: Marah, you have to sit down. We have to sit down. We need to talk to you about something.

Marah: Dad, I love you, but you don't know Tony like I do. And I know that he would never kill Catalina. And I'm going to do whatever it takes to prove that.

Josh: I'm sorry to have to tell you this: Tony confessed last night.

Carmen: Danny, what's wrong? You look terrible.

Danny: Good morning to you, too.

Carmen: Tony's confession surprised me as well as anyone. I mean, what was he thinking?

Danny: Well, that's what I'd like to find out. It's a little early in the day for this kind of action, don't you think?

Carmen: They were here probably from the night before.

Romeo: This Tony's action.

Danny: Yeah, well, I want it gone.

Romeo: Come on, Danny, they're regulars. This games been going on for months.

Danny: Do I look like I want to have a conversation about this? Get rid of them.

Romeo: It's under control, Danny. Look, all I'm trying to do is keep business as usual. That's all.

Danny: Uh-huh.

Romeo: I got it taken care of.

Danny: Yeah, well, Romeo, because your a friend of Tony's there's a place for you here, as long as you follow orders. Just let me know what you decide.

Carmen: Romeo. Romeo, just tell them that this is the last hand and that the boss wants them out.

Rick: Here we are, back to the real world.

Mel: No. I don't want the real world. I just want you.

Rick: Me, too. This is going to be awfully naughty for me to say this, but could you kiss me? Could you just kiss me one last time before I have to face what's on the other side of this door?

Mel: Ah.

Michelle: Whoa!

Rick: Oh. Oh.

Mel: Well...

Michelle: Well, hello.

Rick: Hey... We just...

Michelle: Welcome home.

Rick: Hey. Thank you. We're just back from the cabin.

Michelle: Yes, I see.

Mel: Back from the cabin.

Michelle: Yeah, you have a good time?

(Both): Yeah.

Mel: We had a great time.

Rick: Yeah.

Mel: It's a nice cabin.

Rick: Beautiful cabin. I told you it was.

Michelle: It is. It is. I've always loved it. So I see you've had some fun.

Mel: Yeah.

Rick: Yeah. So where are you and Robbie heading off to?

Michelle: You know, my brother, he's the king segue ways. (Laughter) We're going to meet Danny and we're going to buy Robbie his first real pair of big-boy shoes.

Rick: No. Big-boy shoes! No, it's too soon.

Michelle: Yes, yes.

Rick: It's too soon.

Michelle: No.

Mel: Okay, I'll hold him back, you two make a break for the door.

Michelle: (Laughs) Okay.

Rick: And so you're going to meet Danny at the mall? Is that what you're going to do?

Michelle: Oh, no. Actually we're going to meet him at Infierno.

Rick: What's he doing over at Infierno?

Michelle: Well, Tony can't exactly run it from behind bars, you know.

Rick: No.

Michelle: It was Danny's place... So it's only natural that he'd step in and keep an eye on things.

Rick: Yeah. I'm sure it's just going to be for a little while.

Michelle: I hope, but I don't know. Tony confessed to Catalina's murder last night.

Tony: So what the hell are we waiting for? Let's just get this over with.

Cass: Look, Tony, we still have time. I can get confession tossed out. Once I do that, I am free to introduce other scenarios, possible suspects.

Tony: You just... You don't get it, do you? We're going to do this my way. Period. I'm pleading guilty today.

Cass: What's your hurry? You can postpone the plea.

Tony: What's with this we business, huh? Are you planning on sharing the cell with me? No, right? So why don”t you just shut up and do what you're told?

Cass: Listen, kid, I'm your lawyer, not your whipping boy. Don't confuse the two.

Gus: Oh happy day.

Harley: Come on, Tony. Time to go to court.

Cass: My client and I aren't quite ready.

Tony: Yes, we are.

Gus: Says, the confessor. Boy, he loves to confess. Must be the black sheep of the family, huh?

Harley: Give it a rest.

Tony: Hey, you know what? Don't do me any favors. Come on. Knock yourself out. Go ahead. Oh, yeah, real tight, mm-hmm. Ooh.

Marah: No. No, it's not. It would be if it were true, but it's not. Tony is innocent.

Josh: Marah, he confessed. You have to accept that.

Marah: No, I don't. Nothing has changed. I know that he's innocent.

Josh: The police found him with the murder weapon standing over her body, sweetheart. Now whether or not you believe it, he's guilty.

Marah: Maybe he confessed because he's protecting someone: Carmen, or his grandmother.

Josh: His grandmother was the one that called the police.

Marah: Yeah, and she's also the one who called me. She set this whole thing up. I know that she did.

Reva: Why would she do something like that to her own grandson?

Marah: I don't know.

Josh: Marah, you have to let him go.

Marah: No. Everyone else is going to give up on him, but I am not. I know that he didn't do it.

Reva: Marah, we're not questioning your love for Tony.

Marah: Good, because it's not open for debate. All right, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm not trying to be disrespectful, but it just... It seems to me that I have the two parents in the world who should understand that you don't choose who you fall in love with. I don't have a choice in this. I love Tony.

Reva: And it's because you love him that you won't accept the fact that he's guilty. I understand that. But sweetheart, he confessed.

Marah: Mom, I can't think about that right now. All I know is that he needs me. And if I don't go there and show him that I still believe in him, I'm going to regret it for the rest of my life.

Josh: Marah, if there was some way that right now you could know for sure that he did it, that he was guilty, could you let him go?

Marah: I know that he's not.

Reva: So there's nothing we can say or do to stop you from going to him?

Marah: No.

Josh: Okay. All right. Promise me something then. Even though we disagree about Tony, even though we're on different sides of this issue, promise me that you will always remember that you can come back here whenever you need to-- even if you just need to come back and cry, whatever it is.

Marah: Thank you.

Josh: We will be here for you.

Reva: Go.

Marah: Thank you. Thank you for being my mother and my friend.

Reva: Kind of glad we only had two, huh?

Rick: Hey calm is good. Isn't it?

Mel: Yeah. No, it's great. But it just makes me think about that poor girl Catalina and how desperate she was in her love. I mean, she wanted the father of her baby to love her so much. It just... It breaks my heart, her neediness. And to think that he could kill her.

Rick: That whole thing is just a nightmare.

Mel: I mean, how come people are so unlucky, and here I have you. I feel kind of guilty. Do you think Michelle knows? You know, she was looking at me kind of funny.

Rick: Oh, you mean, you think that she knows that we made love just by looking at us?

Mel and Rick: No.

Rick: No way. You think maybe she... She... .... She... No way.

Mel: No. You know what? I'm acting like I just got back from my senior prom.

Rick: Well, you know what? I think it's adorable.

Mel: Adorable?

Rick: Yes.

Mel: Oh, come on, anything but adorable.

Rick: No, it's especially, adorable on you. Especially from such a heart driven career woman like you.

Mel: (Laughs) Yeah, that's me. That's me. You know, I know you can tell I missed out on my teenage years. All the time I was suppose to be dating and talking on the phone, I was studying at home going to... To math associations and science camps.

Rick: Science camps. You going to science camps?

Mel: You know what? Don't make me hurt you.

Rick: Oh, yeah, you got science camps written all over you.

Mel: You know what? The point is what I'm trying to say is that I put the whole young love thing on hold. You know that. I told you that 1,000 times.

Rick: Oh, yeah, you did.

Mel: So if I gush or act silly, just bare that in mind.

Rick: Okay. The deal is that goes for me too, okay?

Mel: Okay.

Danny: Yeah, my heart is breaking.

Carmen: They have to know that when we say it's over, it's over. And that's all there is to it. He's right.

Danny: The cleaner we run this place, the easier things will go for Tony.

Romeo: Yeah, well, Tony and I knew how to run things just fine.

Danny: You heard me, Romeo. You're welcome to stay, but you are more than welcome to leave.

Gambler 1: Hey, you think I'm blind? You're cheating.

Gambler 2: Don't blame me if you don't know how to play.

Danny: Guys, break it up. The party's over.

Gambler 1: You tried to pull the same thing last game.

Gambler 2: Who you calling a cheater?

Carmen: Gentlemen, this game is over.

Gambler 2: It's not over till it's over, lady.

Danny: Maybe you didn't hear me correctly, buddy. You've been told to get out of here.

Gambler 2: Yeah, okay.

Danny: Let me give you something else for future reference. This is a Santos establishment. When you come here, you play by our rules. And you apologize to my mother. Now.

Gambler 2: I'm sorry, Mrs.. Santos.

Carmen: Apology accepted.

Danny: Get out of here while you still can.

Danny: Hey, honey. Hi.

Carmen: Hey.

Michelle: Hey.

Danny: Hey, come on in.

Carmen: That's my boy. Oh, my goodness.

Danny: Hey, sport.

Carmen: You're getting so big. Oh, Michelle, may I?

Michelle: Sure.

Carmen: Yes. Hey, you. Hey, here's my grandson. Oh, you're so big.

Michelle: So, what's going on?

Carmen:(Whispers) Look at you.

Danny: First thing I walk in here this morning and there's this card game going on. I tried to break it up and you know, there's a little nonsense over it. It's not... It's taken care of.

Carmen: Yes. And I was insulted in the process, but Danny came to my defense just like any good son would, wouldn't he? Huh? Huh, Robbie?

Danny: Well, it's not going to happen again, because there's no more gambling at Infierno.

Carmen: Oh, Michelle, you shouldn't be angry with Danny. He was only doing the right thing.

Michelle: I'm not angry. I trust Danny. I know that he'll always do the same right thing.

Carmen: Well, I'll give you two a moment alone.

Michelle: We don't need...

Danny: It's okay. So what's going on?

Michelle: We're suppose to take Robbie for shoes.

Danny: I know. I know. I know. But I haven't heard from Tony or his lawyer yet. And I just... I feel like I really shouldn't leave here until I do.

Michelle: Okay, I understand.

Danny: But we can still do this, later, right?

Michelle: Sure.

Danny: Okay.

Michelle: You want us to meet you back at the house?

Danny: Yeah. Okay. Sorry. I'm sorry.

Michelle: Okay. How long do you think you'll be?

Danny: Not long.

Michelle: Okay.

Danny: Soon. I'll call you, okay?

Michelle: Okay.

Danny: Okay.

Michelle: Robbie, honey, put that down.

Carmen: He's just playing with them. Michelle, he thinks they're toys-- just like Danny did when he was his age. Oh. Bye, sweetie. Bye, Michelle.

Danny: Okay. I'll call you soon, okay? Bye, sport.

Rick: (Laughs) That was some kiss.

Mel: (Laughs) Yeah, not bad for a beginner, huh?

Rick: You should give some lessons, you know.

Mel: Hey, are you okay? You really are breathing hard.

Rick: Yeah, I'm fine. I'm fine. Just, you know, a little out of practice. I mean, don't forget, I'm couple years older than you, all right?

Mel: Okay, you wouldn’t happen to being having commitmentitis, would you?

Rick: Me? No. No way.

Mel: No?

Rick: No.

Mel: Maybe you were right, you know. Maybe we should slow things down a bit.

Rick: No, no, no, no... Maybe I was wrong. Maybe I wrong. See, I'm exactly where I want to be with who I want to be with, you understand?

Mel: And this shortness of breath is...

Rick: Shortness of breath. I'm very disappointed in you, doctor. Your diagnostics skills have been way off lately, okay? I mean all these symptoms, shortness of breath, racing heart, tendency to smile for no discernable reason, all point to one thing. I think I'm in love.

Mel: I think it's contagious.

Rick: I think you're right.

Cass: Don't let the funny detective get to you, Tony.

Gus: I don't think I can get to him. I don't think anybody could get to him. He killed his bride. I think he's got ice water running through his veins.

Harley: Why don't you take it easy?

Cass: Tony, this is a setback. That's all it is. I'm going to appeal the bail decision or get you out of here in a couple of days. You're listening to me, right? Huh?

Tony: Don't bother.

Cass: Look, Tony, whatever you're feeling right now is going to change; I promise you. I'm going to go put your appeal in motion, and while I'm gone you are not to say one word. Not one. You got me? Good.

Gus: Good job, Winthrop. Ever hear the one about the lawyer? Two lawyers walk into a bar, right? One lawyer says to the other one, "hey, How do you know when a lawyers--

Marah: Wait, wait. Tony, please wait. Please.

Tony: What are you doing here? She shouldn't be here. Get her out of here. Get out!

Marah: Tony, please do not do this to yourself. Please. You tell them the truth, or I'm going to tell them right now.

Tony: Get her out of her. Get her out! Get her out!

Gus: Calm down. If she's got something to say, I'd like to hear it.

Tony: She's got nothing to say.

Gus: Go ahead. What do you have to say, Marah?

Tony: No. Get her out!

Harley: Marah, if you know anything, now is a great time to tell it.

Marah: Tony didn't kill Catalina!

Tony: What are you talking about? Get her out of here.

Marah: He didn't. He didn't. He's covering up for somebody.

Tony: Get her out!

Marah: I know he is.

Gus: I got it. I got it.

Tony: Get her out!

Gus: Open the door. I'm going to sedate you.

Tony: Get out! Get out! Marah, get out of here! What are you talking about?

Marah: Please, Tony. You know better.

Tony: What do you know? Shut up! What do you think you know?!

Marah: Please! Let me help you.

Tony: What the hell do you think you know, huh?

Gus: Easy, Tony. Easy.

Tony: Look, you're just a little naive girl that I played with. Don't you know that? Just a girl I had my fun with. You think... You think... You really know who I am? (Laughs) You don't, and neither did Catalina. But she found out, didn't she? Didn't she? She just didn't live to tell you about it.

Josh: I just sent my daughter off to be with her boyfriend, the murderer. I don't think that qualifies me for father of the year.

Reva: Well, you may not think so, but I think Marah's going to look back at this and she's going to know that you trusted and respected her enough to let her go.

Josh: Does it still count if, you know, what I really wanted to do was lock her up somewhere and keep her safe from all of this, do you suppose?

Reva: That's when it especially counts.

Josh: Is it possible that this is easier for you?

Reva: I beg your pardon?

Josh: I'm just thinking she reminds you of yourself, right? I mean you look at her, and you see yourself.

Reva: Does that scare you?

Josh: No. I was just hoping that she wouldn't have to deal with all the stuff that you had to deal with in your life.

Reva: Me, too. But they're kids. They grow up. They make their own choices. You see them heading right into heartbreak, and it's like being in a car with a student driver. (Laughs) You keep hitting the brake, and they just keep going.

Josh: Can't... Can't somebody take after me? (Laughter)

Reva: Well, how? In what way?

Josh: I just mean being... I don't know, sensible... Would be nice.

Reva: Oh, right. Please. You are as stubborn as your daughter is.

Josh: I am not. I'm the most malleable guy that I know.

Reva: Oh, right.

Josh: I am. I could use some support here, you know, an ally maybe. Where is Shayne, by the way?

Reva: You know what I think you need? You know what I think we both need? Something else to think about. Anything... Anything else.

Josh: This is helping.

Reva: Marry me.

Josh: Well, I intend to, ma'am-- in due time.

Reva: No time like the present.

Josh: (Laughs) Don't you think things are a little crazy right now?

Reva: Well, when won't they be?

Josh: Well, I mean don't you think we should wait until Marah gets her life together?

Reva: When will anybody's life ever be together? I think what this family needs is something to look forward to, you know, something to plan. I don't think we should wait. I'm stubborn, too. And I think we should get married now.

Cass: Do you know your cousin Tony?

Danny: Yeah. Yeah, I do. He's a... Well, he's a hot head for one thing. I don't get it. What does he want to do, go to prison for rest of his life?

Cass: I was kind of hoping that you'd be able to answer that for me. Tony will not open up to me. I need you in there. He'll talk to you.

Danny: No. That's... I can't. That's not an option. I've got my wife, my kid...

Cass: Danny, you promised me 100%. I would have gone to Ray, but they don't speak the same language. You and Tony do. You were up on a murder charge not too long ago, weren't you?

Danny: Yeah.

Cass: They were railroading you on the express track, didn't care whether you were guilty or innocent.

Danny: Well...

Cass: All they cared about was that they had Danny Santos.

Danny: There was also a lunatic fed who was out to get me.

Cass: Gus Aitoro. Now a proud member of Springfield's finest and one of the lead detectives on Tony's case. Look, Tony might talk to you, because he knows that you've been where he is now.

Danny: All right. Yeah. Okay. What do you need me to do?

Michelle: No shoes yet. Shopping was postponed. Danny was a little busy when we got to the club. Oh, um, and the sitter's upstairs and Robbie's napping. So I'm going to take this chance and I'm going to go for a run.

Rick: Oh, that's sort of weird. That's sort of odd that Infierno is that busy this early in the day, isn't it? Are you okay?

Michelle: I'm wonderful. I'm just wonderful. I'm sorry. I'm just a little edgy. You look tired. Doesn't he look tired?

Rick: I'm fine. It's nothing a good night sleep can't take care of.

Michelle: No, what I mean, you look a little run down. You feeling okay?

Rick: I'm fine, Dr. Michelle. I'm just fine.

Michelle: Okay. Well, excuse me for caring. I didn't mean to step on your turf.

Rick: Ooh. Wow! We're going to have to work on that bedside manner, Doctor.

Michelle: You know what? For the record...

Rick: What?

Michelle: ...I would have made one hell of a doctor.

Rick: I know. And a very pretty one, too.

Mel: You know what? Michelle, don't take any notice of him, okay? You will make a great doctor some day, all right?

Rick: I know. She will. (Laughter)

Mel: Look, who knows what will happen once you finish the P.A. program.

Michelle: Yeah, if I'm lucky enough to finish the P.A. program.

Mel: Come on, Michelle, you're young. You have time to make decisions as you go along. I mean, once Robbie goes back to school, who knows? I'm just saying you should follow your dreams as far as it takes you.

Michelle: Yeah. Dreams change though.

Rick: You know, Mel, you don't know my little sister as well as I do. So I'm just going to let you in on just a little secret here. She is the smartest person in this room. But once she fell in love, I'm telling you, that was it. It's like everything fell by the wayside. It's like hello? Hello? Paging Michelle. Paging... (Whispers) Oops. What happened? What happened?

Mel: I'm going outside to check my phone messages.

Rick: Okay.

Mel: Okay, you talk to your sister.

Rick: I didn't... Mel, I didn't mean to hurt her.

Mel: I know. I know. Talk to her.

Rick: All right, thanks for the advice.

Michelle: Oh, please don't tell me that I scared Mel away?

Rick: You didn't. She's right outside. She's fine.

Michelle: I'm sorry, Rick.

Rick: Michelle, I'm sorry.

Michelle: It's just been a really stressful morning. I didn't mean to take it out on you.

Rick: Stop apologizing. You're getting in the way of my apology, okay?

Michelle: Mm-hmm.

Rick: Michelle, I love you and I'm your biggest fan.

Michelle: I know.

Rick: It's not too late.

Michelle: I don't want to talk about it.

Rick: I know that you regret not finishing med school. I know that. But you could still do it. Dad always said that you would have been the best doctor in the family.

Michelle: I really don't remember what he used to say.

Rick: Well, he said. He said it all the time. I mean you're the one who was best suited for medicine. He said it a million times.

Michelle: Then why did he leave? If he cared so much, why didn't he stay and help me find my way? You know sometimes I think, why would I do anything that will make him proud?

Rick: Michelle, I wish I had the answer for that, but I don't.

Michelle: He just walked out. He doesn't think about me. He doesn't even miss me.

Rick: Now, Michelle, we don't know that. We don't.

Michelle: But we know one thing for sure if he really cared, he would have come back by now. Or at least... At least he would have been in touch.

Rick: There has to be a very good reason why he's been away as long as he has.

Michelle: There's no good reason, and you know it. God, you're a father now. How could you even justify what he's done?

Rick: I can't. And I wish there was more to say about this, Michelle, but there isn't.

Michelle: Sorry.

Rick: No. No, don't be sorry. We should talk about our dad. We don't do it very often. Michelle, I'm telling you something. If you're... If you're turning your back on medicine to punish our father, you're not hurting him, you're hurting yourself.

Michelle: The woman in me understands that, but the little girl in me, the one he abandoned, she's so angry, so... So hurt. Just feel like I can't even breath. Why? Why? Why did he leave? Why wasn't I enough to make him want to stay?

Rick: I don't know. But I'm here for you, you know that.

Michelle: I know. And you're the best brother in the whole world, you are. But you're not my dad. He's gone.

Josh: Well, now, that's not what I'm doing at all.

Reva: Oh.

Josh: Obviously marrying you is one of my favorite pastimes. I've done it over and over and over again. (Laughter)

Reva: Then let's set a date.

Josh: I'm just... I don't want Marah to think that we're being insensitive to what she's going through.

Reva: And I think Marah needs to see that sometimes love stories do have happy endings.

Josh: Not for them. It won't be.

Reva: No, it won't. But I don't want her to lose faith in love, because sometimes that's all you have. I want her to see us on our wedding day and know that sometimes even in spite of itself, love works.

Josh: I'm going to drop to one knee and ask you to marry me all over again. (Laughter) Let's pick a date.

Reva: Yeah?

Josh: Pick a date right now.

Reva: Okay, now you're talking.

Josh: All right. Here we go.

Reva: Soon. Oh.

Josh: Nothing there. Let's go to the next month.

Reva: No, that's his tournament.

Josh: That's not going to work.

Reva: That's Shayne's...

Josh: No, I have this here. That's all.

Reva: Okay.

Josh: Can't do that either.

Reva: June 7th. What are you doing on June 7th?

Josh: Marrying you? (Laughter) Let's circle it red.

Marah: Tony, don't...

Tony: Shut up! Shut up! Listen to me. I killed Catalina. I killed her.

Marah: No.

Tony: Marah, she lied to me!

Marah: That's not true. That's not true.

Tony: She lied to my family. Now you don't do that and live. I did what I had to do. I came home that night, Marah, I grabbed that stone angel, look at me, Marah. Look at me! I grabbed that stone angel and I... I smashed her skull in. I did. And I'd do it again. I'll do it again, Marah. Get out of here. Just get her out. Come here. Come here. You know what? If it makes any difference to you, it's true. It's true what they say about me: I am a monster. I am a monster. Be happy... Be happy you got out alive.

The past has been framed it's out of my hand, I'm holding the future others may make plans and I wonder what's going on note snow the there is a voice that calls me away shakes my convictions to and determines my fate in this life wrong becomes right, soon all of the rules of the game will be questioned mistakes, heart attacks, thought it was over, it's only begun love finally found me and I have got to pay forever is the question with every breath that I take and each choice I make, life is a gamble but I'll take the chance for that season of hope, the touch of a hand and a smile one simple smile and here always we'll always remain this time there is so much to gain because we're not the same, but who knows how life goes some complicated so bittersweet note heart attacks, heart breaks left me for lonely and tore out my dreams now there are days feels like I'm dying inside, my world is breaking and I wonder how will this end, will we be together, together again there is no one to save me to shoulder the blame, this chapter is closing, time can undo what's been done yet it's only begun, I thought it was over but it's only begun.
