The Ballroom, The Q Mansion:
Sonny(dancing with Robin)Robin, what's happened to you?
Robin:Sonny, I don't know what you mean.
Sonny:You've changed. I remember when you were with Stone. You had so 
many plans for your future, then. You wanted to be a teacher.
Robin:I'm still going to school. I still want to be a teacher.
Sonny:But you no longer talk about about it with such enthusiasm. More 
and more you seem to be building your whole life around Jason. 
Sacrificing your goals for him. The more I see of you, the more you're 
beginning to remind me of my mother.
Robin:I know you adored your mother, but somehow I don't think you meant 
that as a compliment.
Sonny:I didn't. I loved my mother, but near the end I can't say I liked 
or respected her much. She kept making excuses for Deke everytime he hit 
me or locked me in the closet. She even asked me to leave home when I 
was sixteen because of Deke. She sacrificed too much of herself for 
Deke. And in the process she lost her spirit and I see the same thing 
happening to you.
Robin:Jason has never hit me.
Sonny:But you've had to compromise your beliefs to be with him.
Robin:It's all been worth it. It's all worked out. Jason's finally left 
the mob behind and we're happy together.
Sonny:Robin, there's something you need to know. Jason came to me 
wanting back in the mob.
Carly(watching Brenda and Jason dancing)Bobbie, I've got to go to the 
ladies room for a minute. While I'm gone I want you to watch Sonny and 
make sure Brenda stays away from him.
Bobbie:What is she goes near him?
Carly:Then I want you to stop her.
Jason:Things didn't seem to be going well between you and Sonny from 
where I was sitting. 
Brenda:Then you were sitting in the wrong seat.
Jason:Sonny looked as mad as hell.
Brenda(smiles)He was.
Jason:And that pleases you?
Brenda:Immensely. Jason, it's just a little dance Sonny and I do. I make 
Sonny so mad he doesn't know if he wants to kiss me or kill me. It's our 
little mating dance. If Sonny was indifferent, then I'd have something 
to be worried about. But that I can still arouse Sonny's passions is a 
very good sign.
Jason:I don't see how. If he's mad at you, he'll hardly be in the mood 
for romance.
Brenda:Just dance me over to Sonny and cut in on him and Robin and I'll 
show you just how easily I can turn Sonny's anger into ardor.
Bobbie(watches Jason and Brenda dancing towards Sonny and Robin)Oh-oh, 
that looks like trouble. I'd better nip it in the bud.(she reaches Sonny 
and Robin before Brenda and Jason can and taps Robin on the 
shoulder)Robin, do you mind if I dance with my son-in-law.
Robin:Be my guest.
Sonny(takes Bobbie into his arms)You know, I'm still adjusting to you 
being my mother-in-law. Everytime I hear it, it just sounds so weird.
Bobbie(laughs)Be glad I'm not still married to Stefan, then he'd be your 
father-in-law and that would really be weird.
Brenda:Damn, Bobbie got to Sonny, first. I'd bet anything Carly set her 
up to it.
Jason:Better luck next time.
Brenda:Your sympathy is overwhelming. May I remind you that if I don't 
get Sonny, you don't get the mob.
Robin(taps Brenda on the shoulder)Brenda, would you mind?
Bobbie:I haven't seen Luke much since he got back. How's he doing?
Sonny:Luke is Luke.
Bobbie:He still can't get over the fact Laura slept with Stefan, can he?
Sonny:I think it's more about her lying about it for so long. I think if 
Laura had been honest with Luke the minute Cassadine hit town, Luke 
might have accepted it better. I'm not saying he wouldn't have had a 
problem with it, but not to the extent he's having with it, now. I mean, 
she thought he was dead when she was messing around with Cassadine so it 
wasn't like she was consciously cheating on Luke. But it was the lies. 
Luke caught her slipping around behind his back to see Cassadine several 
times and he gave her every chance to be honest with him about it, but 
she wasn't.
Bobbie:The problem with my big brother is he's finally seeing Laura for 
what she really is and he doesn't like what he sees. You know, it always 
used to drive me crazy the way men fell for Laura's act. I never thought 
the day would finally come when Luke would see the real Laura. You know, 
I always used to wish this day would come, but now that it has I almost 
wish it hadn't.
Sonny:It's hard when you illusions are shattered about the person you 
love most in the world. When Brenda and I first got together, she put me 
up on this pedestal adn thought I was perfect. She refused to see me for 
the very flawed human being that I really am. I have to wonder sometimes 
if when she finally did see the real me, if that wasn't part of the real 
reason she wore the wire.
Stefan(taps Sonny on the back)Mr. Corinthos, do you mind?
Sonny:Yes, as a matter of fact, I do. Bobbie?
Bobbie:It's all right,  Sonny.
Stefan:(takes Bobbie in his arms)Run along, Mr. Corinthos. Barbara will 
be safe with me.
Brenda(steps in Sonny's path as he walks away from Bobbie and 
Stefan)You'd better dance with me, baby. People are starting to stare at 
us.
Sonny(reluctantly takes her in his arms)What's the matter, Brenda. Have 
you finally taken the blinders off where Candyboy is concerned. Have you 
finally stopped seeing him as the model of perfection that he isn't. Is 
that what this is really all about.Why you're all over me like a wet 
T-shirt. Or do you feel threatened by Jax and V's relationship and 
you're trying to use me to make him jealous. You know, that's one way 
you and Prince Charming are really perfect for each other. When you get 
involved with a man you think he's perfect and can do no wrong, but when 
you discover he can't walk on water you become hurt and disappointed. 
And Jax think he is perfect and loves being put on that pedestal you 
have him on. He enjoys you seeing him as perfect eventhough he 
occasionally makes noises about not being perfect, but deep down you 
know he really does think he's perfect. While it's always made me feel 
slightly uncomfortable when you looked at me through those rose-colored 
glasses you love to wear because I always
knew I'd eventually shatter your illusions about be because I wouldn't 
be able to live up to your expectations that I was perfect and sooner or 
later I'd make some kind of mistake to tarnish my image in your eyes. 
But the great thing about you and Jax is you can both pretend he is 
perfect and be happy as a couple of clams with nothing to ever shatter 
your illusions about Jax's perfections since you'll both make excuses 
for him when he screws up.
Brenda(fits her body close to his)Can you tell I"m not wearing anything 
under my dress, baby.
Sonny:Weren't you listening to me? I was just explaining why Jax is 
perfect for you because he enjoys feeding into your fantasy that he's 
perfect while it always made me fell slightly uneasy you seeing me as 
perfect because I knew I wasn't and I'd eventually screw-up and you'd 
see that I wasn't.
Brenda:Actually, baby, I was too busy looking at your mouth and 
imagining you kissing me. Do you remember this dress, baby? Do you 
remember me coming over to the penthouse after the Nurses Ball. Do you 
remember kissing me and almost taking this dress off me? Why don't you 
take me down to the boathouse and take it off me, now.
Sonny:Brenda, give it up. It isn't working.
Brenda(blows in his ear)Oh, really. You forget I know your body better 
than I know my own and I can tell it is. Why don't you just admit you're 
enjoying this. That you haven't felt this alive since you left me.
Sonny:Did it ever occur to you that I don't want to feel alive. That I 
like feeling nothing. That I prefer it.
Brenda:I know you've convinced yourself of that, just like I convinced 
myself that you were just my child love and Jax was my adult love, but 
we were both lying to ourselves. We both got burned badly and we handled 
it in two very different ways. While you don't want to feel anything, 
anymore, I built-up my relationship with Jax in my mind as this grand 
romance it never was, while at the same time I tried to diminish what we 
felt for each other and shared by labelling it a childish love.
Sonny:Brenda, why are you doing this to me? Why are you trying to rip 
open my old wounds. Why won't you just leave me alone and let me be.
Brenda:Because I can't. If you come down to the boathouse with me now, 
I'll tell you why I can't. I'll tell you everything.





































































Was it just a coincidence they mentioned Stefan and Bobbie's 
anniversary? Or does it mean something?
