The Terrace, The Quartermaine Mansion:
Bobbie:(pulls her leg away from Stefan and pulls down her dress)Stefan, 
haven't we done this before? You using me to get back at my brother?
Stefan:You think that's what this is about?
Bobbie:Isn't it, Stefan. I know how vindictive you can be. It would only 
be natural for you to want to get back at Luke because he's Nikolas' 
father. You probably think it only justice to take me away from Luke 
since you feel he's stolen Nikolas away from you.
Stefan:I'm impressed, Barbara. You know me better than I gave you credit 
for. But as good a manipulator that I am, even I can't fake what's 
between us. It's real and it's survived our acrimonious parting.
Bobbie:Stefan, I'm with Jerry now.
Stefan:True, but do you and Jacks share the same fire and passion that 
we share?
Bobbie:(slips her shoe back on and stands up)Thank you for massaging my 
ankle. It's all better. I'll be going back inside, now.
Stefan(smirks as he wraps his arms around her from behind)From that I 
take it the answer is a no.(he nibble on her ear)If you change your 
mind, I'll be waiting for you to come to me, tonight.(he whispers in her 
ear)I'll leave the front door unlocked just for you. Don't disappoint 
me.
Bobbie(pulls away from him and heads inside)Don't bother losing any 
sleep waiting up for me, because I won't be there.
Stefan:We shall see.(he follows her inside)
Sonny(pulls Brenda's hand away from him)What is this, Brenda. Payback? 
You want to get me all hot for you, then you'll tell me you only love 
Jax. That he's your adult love, while I was only your child love.
Brenda:You never forget a thing, do you, Sonny. Sonny, I wasn't...
Jax:(comes up to them)He isn't bothering you, is he, Brender.
Carly(arrives on the scene)What a coincidence, Jax. I was just about to 
ask my husband the same thing about your girlfriend. In case you haven't 
noticed, she's been dogging his trail all night long.
Reginald(stands in the doorway)Ladies and gentlemen. Dinner is now being 
served in the dining room)
Sonny(holds out his arm to Carly)Shall we, Carly?
Carly(smirks at Brenda)My pleasure.
Jax(holds out his arm to Brenda)Brender?
Brenda:Jax, darling, I'll meet you inside in a minute. I need to speak 
to Robin for a moment.(as soon as Jax is out of sight, she pulls Jason 
aside)Did you do it?
Jason:Yeah, I switched those seating placement cards like you asked.
Brenda:And?
Jason:Jax and Carly will be sitting at one end of the table with me, 
while you and Sonny will be seated at the other end of the table.
Brenda:Cool.
Bobbie(grabs Jerry's arm as he's about to enter the dining room)Jerry, 
can he leave now. I've really had enough of this party and I want to go 
home.
Jerry:Bobbie, where have you been all this time. I've been looking 
everywhere for you. Is anything wrong?
Bobbie:No, I'm just tired. So do you think we could skip dinner and go 
home.
Jerry:Do you think you could wait until after dinner is over. I'm just 
starting to make some inroads with Jax. If we leave early he might take 
it the wrong way.
Bobbie(sighs in resignation)Sure. Of course, we can stay. Just forget I 
said anything about leaving early.
Stefan(slips Reginald a hundred dollar bill)Did you do what I asked?
Reginald:Yes, Mr. Cassadine. You'll be sitting next to Ms. Spencer at 
the dinner table.
Stefan:Excellent. And what about Mr. Jacks.
Reginald:He'll be sitting at the opposite end of the table from you with 
Ms. Bell.
Carly(looking around for her seating placement card)Sonny, this is where 
you're supposed to sit, but where am I supposed to be? I don't see my 
card, anywhere.
Jason(yells from the other end of the table)You're supposed to sit down 
here next to me.
Carly:What! Why can't I sit next to my husband?
Robin(sits next to Sonny on one side, while a smirking Brenda sits down 
on his other side)For once in your life could you not complain about 
something and just go and sit where you're supposed to sit.(Carly stomps 
down to the other end of the table)
Jerry(pipes up)Carly's got a point. Why aren't I seated next to Bobbie.
Stefan(holds out Bobbie's chair for her)Your chair, Barbara.
Bobbie:(gives him a look as she sits down)You wouldn't have anything to 
do with this seating arrangement, would you, Stefan?
Stefan(sits down in his chair)How could I? I've been with you since I 
arrived. I'm good, but I'm not that good.
Jax(takes his seat next to V)You don't mind sitting next to me, do you, 
V?
V:Not if you don't mind that Sonny's sitting next to Brenda.
Jax:It's not like I can do anything about it.
Sonny(turns to Brenda)I can see by that cat smirk you arranged this.
Brenda:Of course I did.
Sonny:You mean, you admit it?
Brenda;Why should I deny it. I'm proud of myself.
Sonny(snarls)Look, you've got what you want. You've got who you want. So 
why don't you just leave me alone.
Brenda:Baby, did I ever tell you how sexy you are when you snarl like 
that. Your eyes turn black as night and as you speak your adorable 
little dimples keep peeking out at me. Seriously, Sonny, you haven't got 
the slightest idea of what I really want.
Sonny:Then why don't you tell me.
Brenda:All right, I will. I want to be in your bed, again wearing 
nothing but the diamond bracelets you gave me. I want you with me 
wearing nothing but Stone's ring. I want us to be doing what we do best. 
And I know deep down you want the same thing.
Sonny:That's not what I want. Besides, if I want to have sex, my wife is 
more than happy to give it to me(he adds nastily)in the bed, on the 
floor or in the shower. You name it and Carly and I have done it.
Brenda:That's just sex. Do you remember whenyou told me I taught you the 
difference between just having sex and making love. You told me I was 
the only woman you've ever made love to. Aren't you tired of just having 
sex. Don't you want to make love. Don't you want to know again what it 
feels like to share your body with someone you're in love with.
Sonny:I hate to disappoint you, but I don't.
Brenda:Well, I do. I haven't been made love to since the night before 
our wedding. What I have with Jax is the same thing you have with Carly. 
I've had sex with a lot of men, but you're the only man I've every truly 
made love with.
Bobbie(pulls her leg away as Stefan starts running his foot up and down 
her leg)Stefan, stop it.
Stefan:What's the matter, Barbara. Am I getting to you?
Bobbie:Look, Stefan, I'm warning you. I'm not Laura. I won't just sit 
her like some placid cow while you continue putting the moves on me.
Stefan:What can you do, Barbara. If you do anything to attract attention 
to us, Jacks will learn about what happened between us out on the 
terrace. And I'm sure you don't want that.
Bobbie:That's where you're wrong, Stefan. I can do this.(she knocks 
champagne glass over and the contents pour on the seat of his pants)Oh, 
Stefan, look what I've done. How clumsy of me.(she hisses to him so he 
can only hear her)Since you appear to have a fire in your pants. Maybe 
that will put it out.
Carly(to Jason)Would you just look at her. She's been after Sonny from 
the moment we got here. And now she's managed to get him all to 
herself.(she glances over at Jax talking to V)Why doesn't he do 
something about her. He's engaged to her, after all.
Jason:Give it up, Carly. You're fighting a losing battle. The two of 
them are in each other's blood. They've done horrible things to each 
other, but that thing between them just won't die no matter what they do 
to each other. And, eventually, they're going to get back together. It's 
only a matter of time.
Carly:Not if I have anything to say about it they won't.
Jason:Tell me, Carly, would you consider letting Sonny go without a 
fight if I were willing to marry you.
Carly:And why would you want to do that?
Jason:Because I want Michael.
Carly:You want Michael. And what about Robin? Don't you also want her, 
too. The only person you don't want is me. I practically begged you to 
make love with me, but you refused. It may come as a big shock to you, 
Jason, but I don't have to beg Sonny to have sex with me. He actually 
wants to. Gasp! He even enjoys it. Besides, do you think I want to live 
above a bike shop when I'm living in a penthouse, right now.
Jason:What if I could get back everything I walked away from. Would you 
want me then?
Carly:If that day ever comes, come and talk to me then. Until then, you 
can keep whispering sweet nothings in the little bird's ears and stay 
away from me, because I'm not interested.
Jax:I heard you were out of town. Where did you go.
V:Since were no longer together, it's really none of your business. Were 
you looking to contact me for some reason.
Jax:No, I just wanted to make sure you were all right. If Brenda hadn't 
come back when she did, we'd be married and on our honeymoon, right now. 
Just because I went back to Brenda, doesn't mean I don't still love you, 
V.
V:No, you just love Brenda more. Don't worry, Jax, I'm fine. I'm not 
going to have a breakdown because you did to me what Sonny did to 
Brenda.
Jax:What Corinthos and I did is nothing alike.
V:No, you're right. Sonny left Brenda standing at the altar because he 
wanted her to be safe, while you left me standing on the docks because 
Brenda came back.
