Jason's Bike Shop:
Brenda(storms in)All right, what do you want now? I did what you asked. 
I made sure Benny caught Sonny and I in a compromising position. So we 
shouldn't have anything to discuss. Look, Jas and I are supposed to have 
dinner at the Brownstone, tonight, and I have to get home to get ready, 
so could you make this quick.
Jason:Robin and I are also invited to Bobbie's, tonight.
Brenda:So why have you summoned me here.
Jason:I want you to speed up your efforts to get Sonny back.
Brenda:Why?
Jason:Sonny was here. I laid my cards on the table. I told him I want 
control of the mob back.
Brenda:You didn't tell him I'm helping you, did you?
Jason:Of course not. Do I look like I'm stupid. Look, now that Sonny 
knows I think we've got to move fast if were both going to get what we 
want. We've got to strike while the iron is hot.
Brenda:I don't know about that, Jason. Sonny can't be rushed. He's like 
a mule. You try to force hiim to go in the direction you want him to go 
in and he'll just dig in his heels and refuse to budge an inch. Getting 
Sonny to do what you want is a delicate thing. He has to be gently 
nudged in the right direction without him knowing he was even nudged.
Jason:Well, all I'm suggesting is that you give him a little nudge in 
the right direction.
Brenda:I think that could be a mistake that could backfire on both of 
us. I've nudged Sonny all I should. If I try to pressure him in any way 
he's going to get his back up. Look, I just told Sonny I wasn't going to 
pressure him. That I'd let him come to me when he was ready. If I 
suddenly start whistling a different tune, he's going to start thinking 
I'm trying to manipulate him.
Jason:Well, that's exactly what you're doing.
Brenda:Yes, but the art of successfully manipulating Sonny is for him 
not to know what I'm doing. Sonny can't stand be told what to do or 
anyone trying to control him. It's like waving a red flag in front of a 
bulls nose.
Jason:Well, the mob is already pressuring Sonny and when Carly finds out 
about it she's going to use the situation to her advantage. She's going 
to make sure Sonny knows with her he won't have problems like that. That 
he can have both the mobe and her without the troubles that come with 
you. Carly loves everything that goes with the mob lifestyle. She loves 
having bodyguards follow her around. It makes her feel important. She 
loves the idea of being married to the godfather of the mob. And you'd 
better believe she's going to push her advantage. She's going to make 
sure Sonny knows that with her he can have the family he's always wanted 
and the mob, too. So we've got to make Sonny see just what he's going to 
lose if he choose the mob. You.
Brenda:And just how are we going to do that.
Jason:By making Sonny see if he doesn't make a choice, soon, he's going 
to lose you to Jax.
Brenda:And how am I supposed to do that.
Jason:I'm sure you'll find a way. You've got Jax on the string dancing 
to any tume you whistle, already.
Brenda:Look, Jason, if I encourage Jax in any way, he's going to want to 
sleep with me and that's something I don't want to do. It's going to be 
bad enough for Jax when I leave him for Sonny, again, but it'll be worse 
if I'm sleeping with him when I do it.
Jason:Well, it looks like you've got a choice to make, yourself. Just 
how far are you willing to go to get Sonny back.

Sonny's Penthouse:
Carly(as Sonny enters)I'm glad you're finally home. Bobbie invited us to 
dinner at the Brownstone, tonight. Are you up to going with me?
Sonny:Sure, what's up? It isn't some kind of get together to celebrate 
our marriage, I hope.
Carly:No, we're not the guests of honor. My Cousin Nikolas and Katherine 
Bell are. Only they don't know it, yet.
Sonny:That sounds interesting. Wnat to tell me what this is really all 
about?
Carly:Bobbie wants to save Nikolas for Hoochie Bell's clutches. She's 
hoping an evening with a few well-matched couples will make Nikolas see 
how mismatched he and Katherine are.
Sonny:You and I well-matched? Well, I suppose we are in comparison. You 
know, I don't think I was ever that young.
Carly:What's that supposed to mean.
Sonny:I think you'd have to be awfully young and foolish to get involved 
with Katherine Bell. Of course, that doesn't say much for Damian Smith, 
Stefan Cassadine or Mac Scorpio.
Carly:What about Ned Ashton. He even married her.
Sonny:But, you see, she blackmailed him into it, so that doesn't count. 
You know, even being young and foolish the idea of doing it with 
Katherine Bell really repulses me. But that could have something to do 
with her getting me arrested awhile back. Still, if it were up to me and 
Katherine Bell to repopulate the planet the human race would die out.
Carly:That's right, Sonny, don't hold your feelings back. Anyway, Bobbie 
asked me to be a bit catty to Kat, tonight. So I just wanted you to know 
why I'm going to be...
Sonny:You, tonight? This sounds like this will be a fun evening, 
tonight. Katiebird roasting on an open spit. I'll go upstairs, take a 
shower and be ready to go in a half-hour.
Carly:Want me to join you? That way we could conserve on the water.
Sonny:Carly...
Carly(smiles)You can't blame a girl for trying.(she watches as he heads 
upstairs)That's all right, brown eyes. If Bobbie comes through for me, 
tonight, you and I will be sharing a lot more together than a shower 
when we get home.

Bobbie's Brownstone:
Bobbie(opens the door to Stefan)Come in, Stefan, you're the first to 
arrive.
Stefan:(removes a bottle of pills from his pocket and hands them to 
her)You mind telling me why you wanted these? If Mr. Jacks is having 
trouble satisfying you, Barbara, you need only come to me.
Bobbie:Thank you, I'll keep that in mind. Actually, they're for Carly. 
Sonny's having a hard time rising to the occasion so to speak. Maybe you 
would like to volunteer your services to Carly, instead. It wouldn't be 
the first time that we've shared a man.
Stefan:Actually, that offer is only good for on Barbara Cassadine.
Bobbie:The name's Spencer.
Stefan:It could be Cassadine, again. After all, Cassadines don't 
divorce.
Bobbie:But we did.
Stefan:We all make mistakes. We could start a new Cassadine motto. 
Cassadines don't stay divorced. This situation could be easily remedied.
Bobbie:Only if I think our divorce was a mistake.
Stefan:Do you? Or do you think the real mistake was us getting married 
in the first place.
Bobbie:(smirks)Yes.
Stefan:Which is it? Do you think it was our marriage or the divorce that 
was the mistake?
Bobbie:I think I'll leave you wondering on that. Did you have trouble 
getting these pills?
Stefan:Actually, ther were quite easy to obtain. I ordered them off the 
internet. They were stuck between ads for pumps that enlarge your manly 
endowments, edible underwear and strawberry flavored condoms, of all 
things.
Bobbie:Stefan, just how did you know where to find stuff like that on 
the internet. Stefan, you're not into cybersex, as well, are you?
Stefan:As a matter of fact, I am, Barbara. There are a great many things 
you don't know about me. In fact, my user name on the web is cyberstud. 
Get real, Barbara. I simply typed Viagra in the search engine and was 
directed to a site that considers it a sexual aide. It's too bad your 
daughter couldn't have thought of the same thing and saved me from this 
sordid business.
Bobbie:Yes, but is she had, she wouldn't have agreed to be our hatchet 
woman, tonight. Carly doesn't usually do something unless there's 
something in it for her.
Stefan:I suppose you have a point.(he looks around the room)By the way, 
just where is Mr. Jacks. I thought he'd be by your side greeting your 
guests. Shouldn't he be here, by now?




















































When Sonny and Carly meet will it be the clash of titans?
