Luke's Office, Luke's Club:
Sonny(collapses tiredly in the chair opposite the desk(I just came 
from seeing Benny to see what mony was left from my ill-fated plan to 
take over the mob from Moreno.
Luke:And?
Sonny:It's all gone. All I've got left is my half of the club and the 
penthouse, which I've given to Carly.
Luke:Since you sunk all your money into re-organizing the mob, you 
could always go through with the plans to take control of it, again.
Sonny:For the same reason I can't go after Moreno for what he did to 
me, I can't become head of the mob, again. Because then Moreno will 
strike back at me and Brenda will get caught in the crossfire. Luke, 
Brenda's pregnant with my child. I lost one child because of the mob, 
I won't risk losing another one.
Luke:So is Carly still playing the self-sacrificing little wife 
letting hubby go so he can be happy with the other woman.
Sonny:Why do you keep insisting it's just an act. Maybe my happiness 
really is important to Carly.
Luke:She poked holes in your condoms and drugged you with Viagra and 
you still have to ask that.
Sonny:Carly just did those things because she loved me and was trying 
to hang on to me.
Luke:I can't believe you're defending her.
Sonny:Luke, when I thought I'd been exposed to Aids, Carly was there 
for me. She got me through that. And there's a part of me that feel 
guilty about being with Brenda, instead of Carly because of that. 
Enough of my love life. How's it going with you and Laura?
Luke:I'm still living at the house eventhough Laura has stopped having 
those spells of acting strange. But seeing Robert and Anna together 
made me remember what Laura and I once had but lost. And I don't think 
once you lose that you can ever get it back.
Sonny:Speaking of the Scorpios, what do you think they're going to do 
about the birth certificate you left with them.
Luke:I haven't a clue.
Sonny:You haven't heard from them?
Luke:No, and I don't really expect to. The WSB must know they're alive 
and they could trace them through me. Whatever they do from here, the 
ball is now in their court.

San Remos:
Anna(holding the birth certificate in her hand)Robert, this thing is 
like a ticking time bomb. We've got to do something about it.
Robert:Like what?
Anna:Like find out if it's real or not.
Robert:Do you remember anything about your delivery?
Anna:No, I was sedated once I went into labor and when I woke up, they 
placed Robin into my arms and told me I'd had a daughter.
Robert:So you could have given birth to twins and not even know it.
Anna:It's possible. What will we do if the Cassadines stole our child 
from us?
Robert:That's why I don't want us to do anything about this birth 
certificate. Because if we find out the Cassadines did do this to us, 
we'll have to do something about it. That means, we'll have to go back 
to Port Charles.

Helena's Yacht:
Helena:You made contact with Jagger Cates?
Faison:Yes, he's most interested in settling his score with Sonny 
Corinthos. He's still bitter about his brother Stone wanting Sonny 
Corinthos by his side when he died instead of him. He's already 
arranged a transfer to the Port Charles Police Department.
Helena:Excellent. When the problems start to occur  between my 
grandson-in-law and Ms. Barrett, then she'll have the strong arms of 
Mr. Cates to turn to in her hour of need. And if she follows true to 
form, she'll do more than seek comfort from Mr. Cates.
Faison:You hope. I noticed your granddaughter is already getting 
impatient to have her husband back. If you can't get him back fro her 
like you promised, there's going to be hell to pay from that one. 
She's just like you.
Helena:Caroline needs to learn to have some patience. All comes to she 
who waits. By the way, have you arranged for Luke's Club to be burned 
to the ground, yet?
Faison:By morning it'll be nothing but a pile of ashes.
Helena:Excellent. Once again, Mr. Corinthos, will be as poor as he was 
when he was 16 and living on the streets. And what with him having a 
child to support, not to mention two babies on the way, I'm sure it'll 
make it that much easier to lure him back to his criminal lifestyle.
Faison:I could easily influence him into returning to his bad boy ways 
without us having to go through all this trouble.
Helena:You could also easily influence him to return to my 
granddaughter, but I want him to do that of his own free will.
Faison:Whatever you say. Your the boss.
Helena:What about the Scorpios. Have then done anything about the 
birth certificate Luke left with them, yet?
Faison:Not yet, but I know the two of them. Their curiosity will 
eventually get the better of them and they'll start investigating to 
find out the truth.
Helena(smiles)Excellent. I can't wait to play Timoria with the two of 
them. Although Luke is the one who murdered my beloved Mikkos, I hold 
Robert Scorpio equally responsible. I can't wait for him and his wife 
to discover the truth.
Faison:Or at least your version of it, anyway.
Ari(enters)Madame Cassdine, this was just deliverd to you.(he hands 
her an envelope)_
Helena(seethes as she reads the enclosed card)Stefan Cassadine 
requests the honor of your presence to celebrate his engagement to 
Barbara Spencer...That impudent whelp! He asked her to marry him even 
after my warning.
Faison(chuckles)Ah, the fly in the ointment.
Helena:Go ahead, and celebrate your engagement, Stefan, because this 
wedding will never take place. I'll see to it!
