The Brownstone:
Bobbie:Jerry won't be joining us, tonight.
Stefan:Oh, really. Why not?
Bobbie:Business.
Stefan:Well then, I guess that means I'll be your date for the evening.
Bobbie:What makes you say that.
Stefan:Well, we'll be the only two unattached people at this gathering, 
tonight, so it's only logical.
Bobbie:I wouldn't let Katherine hear you say that. She was jealous 
enough when she saw us talking at the Quartermaines party. And a jealous 
Miss Kitty Litter is someone neither one of us wants to deal with.
Stefan:Maybe we do. I've been thinking, Barbara. If our plan, tonight, 
doesn't work, I think we should take it in a new direction. I think we 
sould try to evoke Katherine's jealousy.
Bobbie:I'm almost afraid to ask, but just how would we do that.
Stefan:Why, by pretending something of a romantic nature is going on 
between us. We would convince her we were lovers, again. And once 
Katherine is seething with jealousy, Nikolas would have no choice but 
the see her true colors. Of course, I'm sure Mr. Jacks might have a 
problem with this. Especially since to make this work you and Mr. Jacks 
would have to pretend to break-up.
Bobbie(as the doorbell rings)Saved by the bell.(she goes to answer the 
door)Sonny. Carly. Come in.
Carly:Sonny, would you excuse Bobbie and I for a minute. Theres 
something we need to talk about.
Sonny:Sure.(he heads into the living room where Stefan is sitting)
Carly:Well, did you get them.
Bobbie:Not even a hello first.
Carly:Hello, did you get them.
Bobbie:Yes, I got them(Carly makes a grab for the bottle of pills but 
Bobbie holds them out of her reach)
Carly:Bobbie, give them to me.
Bobbie:I will, but before I do I want a promise from you.
Carly:What?
Bobbie:That you'll only give these to Sonny once. Carly, these pills can 
have side effects. Sonny shouldn't be taking them without being examined 
by a doctor, first. So if the problem continues you need to tell him you 
slipped him some Viagra so he can go to a doctor to see if there's a 
problem and so a doctor can prescribe some Viagra for him.
Carly:Sure, whatever you say.(she makes another grab for the pills)
Bobbie(holds them out of her reach, again)Carly, people who have nothing 
wrong with them have been using them to enhance their sex lives.
Carly:Gee, I can't understand why they'd want to do that.
Bobbie:Carly, I'm not going to give them to you until you promise not to 
try to do the same thing.
Carly:All right, all right, I promise, I promise, now give them to 
me.(she grabs them out of Bobbie's hand)Just how did you get these, 
anyway.
Bobbie:Stefan did, actually. You're not going to believe this. People 
are actually selling them on the internet along with condoms and sexy 
underwear.
Carly:Oh, really, I'll have to remember that.
Bobbie:What did you just say?
Carly:(throws her arms around Bobbie)Bobbie, I said you're the best 
mother in the whole wide world.
Bobbie:That's what you say now. By tomorrow I'm sure you'll already be 
whistling a different tune.
Sonny(as he enters the living room)Mr. Cassadine.
Stefan;Mr. Corinthos.(he looks Sonny up and down)How are you doing, this 
evening.
Sonny(looks down at himself)Is my fly open or something?
Stefan:Why would you ask me something like that?
Sonny:Well, you seem to be staring at my zipper.
Stefan:Mr. Corinthos, I know.
Sonny:You know what?
Stefan:There's no need to pretend. Don't be embarrassed, but Barbara 
told me all about your little problem.(Carly enters the living room, as 
Bobbie goes to answer the door)
Sonny:What little problem are you talking about.
Stefan:I can understand you being touchy about it, but rest assured it 
won't go any further. I've never suffered from that, myself, but you 
have my sympathies.
Sonny:(turns to Carly)What is he talking about?
Carly:He's weird, Sonny, just ignore him.
Bobbie(opens the door to Katherine and Nikolas)Nikolas, I'm so glad to 
see you.(she hugs him, but her smile vanishes when she turns to 
Kat)Katherine.
Kat:(wearing her trademark smirk)Bobbie, how nice of you to include 
Nikolas and I in your little soiree.(she removes her coat)Do be careful 
with it, won't you, Bobbie. It's real mink. It's not dyed rabbit like 
I'm sure you're used to.
Bobbie:Of course.(she waits until Kat's back is turned then acts like 
she's holding a live skunk as she tosses it into the bottom of her 
closet)Oops, how clumsy of me.
Kat(and Nik enter the living room)Stefan, what are you doing here.
Stefan:Barbara asked me to be her date, tonight, since Mr. Jacks won't 
be able to be here.
Kat:Really?
Stefan:Really. You know who awkward it would be for Barbara being the 
only single person at a party where everyone is a couple.
Kat:Of course.
Carly:Oh, Miss Bell, I just wanted to tell you what a lovely dress that 
is you're wearing.
Kat:Thank you, Carly, and you may call me Katherine.
Carly:Oh, thank you, Miss Bell, but I don't know if I can. You see, my 
mama raised me to always show respect to my elders and not to be overly 
familiar with them. Now where was I? Oh, yes, your dress. It really is 
lovely. Why I remember buying one just like it for my grandmother one 
Christmas not too many years ago.(Stefan and Sonny snicker)The clerk 
told me it was the perfect style for a mature woman and seeing it on you 
I can see it's true.(she turns to Nikolas)Nikolas, I guess you and I are 
cousins. You know it's kind of weird how much we have in common. We were 
both reunited with a parent late in life. While I was sleeping with a 
man old enough to be my father, you're doing likewise with a woman old 
enough to be your mother. And while Tony was my mother's husband, 
Katherine here was your uncle...father...whatever he is fiancee. Weird 
isn't it.
Bobbie:Carly! Nikolas. Katherine. I apologize for Carly's remarks.
Carly:Bobbie, I wasn't trying to offen anyone. I was  just trying to be 
friendly. I know how sensitive you can be about age when you're with 
someone so much younger or older than you are. But you dont have to be 
sensitive here. We're all family. We can say anything to each other and 
it's all right. I mean, if your family can't speak the truth, than who 
can.
Nik:No offense taken, Cousin Carly. You're only saying what the rest of 
the world is, but Katherine and I don't care. Age doesn't matter to us, 
does it, Katherine?
Kat:No, it doesn't, Nikolas, darling,(they kiss)
Carly(laughs)That's the exact same thing I told Tony whenever he got to 
feeling he was robbing the cradle by being with me. Oh, Katherine, I 
wasn't suggesting you were robbing the cradle or anything like that. 
It's not like Cousin Nikolas is a minor or anything. He is 18, right. By 
the way, just how old are you, anyway?









































Now that the paternity secret is out, what will be the big Cassadine 
story for February sweeps?
