Sonny's Bedroom, the Penthouse:
Jason(enters)Hello, Brenda, I see you've made yourself at home.
Brenda:Jason, what are you doing here.(she gets off the bed and starts 
gathering her clothes off the floor)
Jason:I followed you here.
Brenda:Why?
Jason:I think we can help each other.
Brenda:What makes you think I want your help.
Jason:I'm not the one who got naked in Sonny's bedroom and who was 
sniffing his pillow.
Brenda:I just wanted to feel close to Sonny.
Jason:After the way you treated him when he came back?
Brenda:I wasn't mentally stable then. I know I seemed fine after I 
visited Lily's grave, but I was still ill.
Jason:So, it's just as I thought. You want Sonny back.
Brenda:Yes, I want him back. Unfortunately for me, he's with, of all 
people, Carly Roberts, now.
Jason:I can help you get him back.
Brenda:Hello, Jason, didn't you hear me. He's with Carly now.
Jason:Sonny doesn't love Carly, he's still in love with you. He's always 
loved you and he probably always will.
Brenda:Yes, but he's married to Carly, now. 
Jason:That can easily be taken care of if we work together.
Brenda:Just why would you want to help me. You don't even like me. Just 
what's in it for you.
Jason:The mob. I want it back.
Brenda:Well, I can't help you get it.
Jason:You'd be surprised. Sonny is trying to restructure the mob and 
take back his territory. But if Sonny gets reinvolved with you, again, 
Benny and the boys will drop him so fast it'll make Sonny's head spin, 
because they knew when he's around you it messes with Sonny's head and 
he doesn't think straight.
Brenda:And they'll turn to you, instead.
Jason:Exactly.
Brenda:But won't Sonny resent me if I cost him the mob.
Jason:Sonny's not cut out for the mob. He doesn't like the bloodshed. 
You should have seen how it freaked him out when Joesph got killed and 
he had his blood all over his hands. When Harry betrayed him, Sonny 
should have killed him, but he didn't. Sonny only kills someone unless 
he has no other choice. He doesn't have the stomach for the business. I 
do. Besides, it's in your own best interest to get Sonny free of the 
mob. The mob is what caused all the problems in your relationship. If it 
wasn't for the mob, you two would be married, right now. Then there's 
Carly. Power turns her on. If Sonny doesn't have that power, it'll make 
it that much easier for you to take Sonny away from her.
Brenda:Tell me, Jason, is the mob the only thing Sonny has that you 
want. You don't want Carly, too, do you? Do you think if you have the 
power of the mob behind you and Sonny doesn't she'll dump Sonny for you?
Jason:I want Michael. Unfortunately, Carly and Michael are a package 
deal. If I want to have Michael, I'll have to take Carly with him.
Brenda:What about Robin?
Jason:I love Robin, but I hate the life I have to live to be with her. I 
didn't leave the mob because I wanted to. I did it because I felt I had 
no choice. I did it to keep Robin and Michael safe and because despite 
what Robin said, I knew that's what she wanted and expected me to do in 
the end. That she thought if she pretended to accept my way of life, 
eventually I would realize it wasn't the life I really wanted. I mean, 
you should have heard how she rewrote everything I did and tried to put 
the blame on Sonny for all the choices I made and viewed me through 
these rose-colored glasses. And I ended up feeling pressured to leave 
the mob. Maybe I would have been happy if Carly hadn't taken Michael 
away from me. If I'd had both Robin and Michael like I planned. But 
Robin alone isn't enough for me. Even worse than that, I'm beginning to 
resent her. Everything she does is beginning to irritate me. Her voice 
is even beginning to annoy me.
Brenda:What if Sonny begins to resent me if I cost him leadership of the 
mob.
Jason:It won't happen. Robin was right about one thing. I'm not like 
Sonny, but not in the way she means. Sonny doesn't need the mob to be 
somebody. He can run a nightclub, a record company, or be an accountant. 
Heck, he could probably build a company from the ground up and make it 
bigger and better than ELQ. But all I can do aside from the mob is fix 
bikes and that won't give me the respect and power that I want. That I 
need. There's one other big difference between Sonny and I. He knows how 
to function in the world outside of the mob. But even before I joined 
the mob, I didn't know how to function in it. That's why I joined the 
mob. Because in that world I can function.
Brenda:Sonny could still resent me.
Jason:Brenda, Sonny wrecked his entire life for you. First, he gave up 
the mob and then he gave up you, but not once while he was living in 
exhile did he ever resent you. If he didn't resent you then, he won't 
resent you now.(he holds out his hand)So do we have a deal? Do we work 
together as partners to get what we really want? Me the mob and you 
Sonny.
Brenda:I guess Sonny should have remembered the tale of Frankenstein. 
The creature always turns on his master.(she shakes his hand)Yeah, 
Jason, we've got a deal.

The Office, Luke's Club:
Sonny(is sitting behind Luke's desk doing the books when Moreno 
enters)Moreno, what can I do for you?
Moreno:I hear you're thinking of getting back into the business, again. 
In fact, I even hear you're planning on taking over some of my 
territory. That would be a very big mistake on your part. I don't take 
kindly to people taking things away from me.
Sonny:It was my territory, first. I just think of it as taking back what 
belongs to me.
Moreno:It doesn't belong to you, anymore. You gave it to Morgan and he 
gave it to me. Now it's mine and you're not getting it back.
Sonny:But my people don't like the way you do business. They've asked me 
to lead them, again. And how can I refuse.
Moreno:They're not your people, anymore. They're mine.
Sonny:Don't tell me. Tell them.
Moreno:Don't mess with me, little boy. You think Frank Smith and 
Hernando Rivera were bad. I'm in a whole other species apart from them. 
Let me tell you a little story. When I was a kid there was this dog that 
the mistake of biting me. To pay him back I poured gasoline all over him 
and set him on fire. The moral of the story is that I don't let anyone 
get away with messing with me. Not some mongrel mutt and certainly not 
you.
Sonny:Did you pull the wings off of flies as a boy, too?
Moreno:I'm going to do for you waht I didn't do for that mutt. I'm going 
to give you a warning. Ignore it at you own risk. Back off or I'll make 
you live to regret it.
Sonny:Are you saying you'll kill me if I don't?
Moreno:No, I mean exactly what I said. You will live to regret it. You 
see, I won't kill you, Sonny, I'll just make you wish I had. I'll make 
an example of you so anyone who even thinks twice about taking what's 
mine will know who I'll deal with them. There really are worse things 
than death, Sonny. If you refuse to heed my warning, you'll find out 
what they are.

The Brownstone:
Kat(storms in)Just what do you think you're trying to pull, Bobbie.
Bobbie:Hello, Katherine, it's so nice of you to drop by. What can I do 
for you?
Kat:How dare you convince Nikolas to move into Kelly's.
Bobbie:Nikolas' days as The Cassadine are over. He needs to start 
building a life for himself.
Kat:Without me? That is what you're hoping will happen, isn't it, 
Bobbie?
Bobbie:You know, Katherine, I can understand you wanting to make Laura 
suffer. A lot of years ago I left the same way and I did a lot of rotten 
things to her. But you using Nikolas is wrong. His life is just 
beginning. You're trying to steal his youth from him. He should be out 
enjoying himself. Having a good time. Dating. Everything a young man of 
his age should be doing. But instead he's saddled with you.
Kat;Nikolas loves me and he wants to spend the rst of his life with me.
Bobbie:Nikolas only thinks he loves you. When you told him Stefan was 
his father, he felt betrayed by the most important person in his life 
and you took advantage of it. You seduced Nikolas by playing on the face 
that you and Nikolas both felt betrayed by Stefan.
Kat:Stefan did betray both of us. He tried to turn me into some bargain 
basement Laura Spencer clone. He never loved me. He only used me. And he 
let Nikolas grow-up thinking Stavros was his father when he believed he 
was really Nikolas' father all along. And why? So Nikolas would inherit 
everything. But Nikolas never cared about the money. All he ever wanted 
was a father.
Bobbie:What Stefan did no longer matters. He isn't Nikolas' father, Luke 
is. And if you want to get back at Stefan, find some way else to do it. 
Just leave Nikolas alone.
Kat:Stay out of this, Bobbie. It doesn't concern you.
Bobbie:Nikolas is my nephew and it very much concerns me. I'm not just 
going to sit by while you ruin his life.
Kat:(smirks)Bobbie, if you try to come between Nikolas and I, I'll turn 
him against you and don't think I can't. I've turned him against Laura 
and Stefan, haven't I? So you just remember, Auntie Bobbie, if I amke 
Nikolas choose between me and you, he'll choose me.

Down in the basement of the Brownstone:
Tony(listening through an airvent as Bobbie and Kat continue to 
bicker)So Bobbie wants to play mother hen to little Nicky, does she. 
Maybe I can use this against her. I mean, if I can't make sure Bobbie 
gets punished for killing me. Maybe I can make sure she gets punished 
for killing someone else, instead.(he snickers evily)
