Brenda's Doctor's Office, General Hospital:
Brenda:What do you mean I'm not pregnant? Of course, I'm pregnant.
Doctor:I'm sorry, Ms. Barrett, but you're not.
Brenda:But that's impossible. I havea all the symptoms. I'm late.
Doctor:Sometimes when we want something very badly our bodies can 
produce the symptoms. Ms. Barrett, what you're experiencing is known as 
an hysterical pregnancy.
Brenda:But the home pregnancy test I took said I was pregnant.
Doctor:Ms. Barrett, despite what they claim, they're not that accurate.
Brenda:But I was so sure I was pregnant.
Doctor:I'm sorry I couldn't give you the news you wanted to hear, Ms. 
Barrett. Perhaps I'll be able to do so next time.(he waits until she 
exits his office then picks up the phone)Ms. Barrett just left my 
office, Mr. Jacks.
John:And did you do as I asked.
Doctor:Yes, I told her she isn't pregnant eventhough she is.
John:Excellent, you can consider your gambling debts paid in full.(he 
hangs up the phone and turns to Jax)It's done.
Jax:Brenda believes she's not pregnant.
John:The doctor assured her the results of the home pregnancy test she 
took were false. We've bought you some time. But you do realize she's 
going to eventually realize she is pregnant.
Jax:Yes, but if I can get her into my bed before that happens she'll 
naturarlly assume that I'm the father, not Corinthos.
John:I still think it would be better if I threatened her into staying 
away from Corinthos.
Jax:Dad, there's really no need to destroy Brenda's illusions about us 
being Australia's answer to the Walton's until we have to. Let me try to 
get Brenda in bed, tonight. And if that doesn't work, then you can have 
a go at her.
John:Just be careful, Jax. If you do sleep with her, don't let you old 
feelings for her be resurrected.
Jax:Don't worry, Dad, I won't.

Kitchen, Sonny's Penthouse:
Sonny(cutting up vegetables for dinner)Why did you invite Laura to 
dinner, tonight?
Carly:Sonny, Uncle Luke can't live with us forever. He's eventually 
going to have to go home and face his problems. By continuing to let him 
live here and avoid his problems, you're not helping him. So I decided 
to give him a little shove in the right direction by inviting Laura here 
tonight.
Sonny:Carly, Luke is my best friend. He's welcome here as long as he 
wants. I'm not going to kick him to the curb for his own good.
Carly:I'm not suggesting you kick him to the curb. All I'm suggesting is 
that we give him a little push in the right direction. And that's what 
we're doing by inviting Laura her tonight. By having Laura to dinner, 
we'll be forcing Luke to deal with his problems for a change instead of 
running away from them.
Sonny:Well, since you've already invited Laura, I don't suppose there's 
anything I can do about it. I mean she's probably already on her way 
over here, so I can call her up and tell her not to come. You really 
shouldn't have taken the decision out of Luke and my hands the way you 
have. I just hope this evening doesn't turn into a total disaster.
Carly:(snacking on a carrot)Don't worry, Sonny, it won't. In fact, I 
think this night will be an overwhelming success. I think all Luke and 
Laura need is to spend some time with each other and I'm sure their 
problems will sort themselves out all by themselves.

Lobby, General Hospital:
Robin:So what did the doctor say.
Brenda:That I'm not pregnant. I guess it's a good thing I came here, 
first, before I went to Sonny and Jax. God, Robin, do you know how close 
I came to blowing my entire game plan.
Robin:Brenda, I'm sorry you're not pregnant. I could see how happy you 
were when you thought you were going to have Sonny's baby.
Brenda:You know it's really strange. When Sonny made love to me in the 
boathouse, I could just feel that we'd made a baby together. I was so 
sure I was pregnant with Sonny's child.
Robin:What are you going to do now.
Brenda:Stick to my original plan.
Robin:Brenda, what if Sonny doesn't try to stop you from marrying Jax. 
Will you really go through with it and become his wife?
Brenda:Robin, Sonny is as stubborn as a mule, but I know he'll never let 
me go through with marrying Jax. He stopped our wedding once before and 
he'll do it, again.

Kat's Room, The Quartermaines:
Stefan(enters)I told you it would work, Barbara.
Bobbie(wearing a blonde Katherine wig)The Quartermaines didn't even 
glance at me as I entered.
Stefan:I told you they wouldn't.
Bobbie:So what's next.
Stefan:We need to stage a fight, then you'll go running out of her and 
jump into Katherine's car and I'll go chasing after you. Then we'll meet 
up at Look Out Point and dispose of Katherine's body for good.
Bobbie:Just what have you done with Katherine, anyway?
Stefan:I've stuffed her in the trunk of my car. Are you ready?
Bobbie:As I'll ever be.
Stefan:(raises his voice)Katherine, how dare you cause a scene with 
Barbara at the party, last night. Wasn't it enough you seduced a teenage 
boy to try and get at me. Now you have to publicly humiliate my ex-wife. 
Why can't you just get out of my life.(Bobbie holding a hankerchief up 
to her face to conceal it runs out of the room and Stefan gives 
chase)Come back, here. I'm not through with you, yet.
Edward(comes out of the living room as Bobbie and Stefan come running 
down the stairs)Katherine, what's wrong? What has he done to you, now.
Stefan:(as Bobbie runs out the door)What have I done to her? That woman 
has been a plague on the House of Cassadine since the moment I met her.
Edward:Katherine, come back.(they chase after her and catch up with her 
just as Bobbie jumps in Katherine's car and burns rubber down the 
driveway)She shouldn't be driving in this condition. If anything happens 
to Katherine, I'm going to hold you personally responsible.
Stefan:Don't worry, I'll go after her.(Stefan smirks as he gets in his 
car and drives off)

Outside the Quartermaine Mansion:
Tony(and Helena sitting in Helena's limo)They're obviously trying to 
convince the Quartermaines Katherine's alive for some reason.
Helena(sipping champagne)Obviously.
Tony:Any idea of why they're doing it?
Helena:If it were me and I had a body I needed to get rid of I'd make it 
look like the person had had a car accident and died in the fiery wreck. 
That way there'd be no autopsy to prove how she really died. Don't you 
think it's time you made that phone call.
Tony:(picks up the cell phone)Hello, police? This is Stefan Cassadine. 
I've just been carjacked.(he gives the make, model and license plate 
number of the car)And one more thing. Before I saw the thief drive off, 
I saw him throw something in the trunk. I believe it was drugs. When you 
find my car, I suggest you check just what's inside my trunk. Where am I 
now? I'm in my office at General Hospital. Yes, I'll wait for some 
officers to arrive to take my statement.(he hangs up and clinks 
champagne glasses with Helena)
Helena:(smiles)Oh, Steffy, you're in for a very nasty little surprise, 
indeed.
