Wyndemere:
Bobbie:(watches as Jagger carries his suitcase upstairs, then she turns to Stefan)All right, Stefan, what's going on. Why is Jagger moving in here.
Stefan:I wanted to repay him for saving your life so I offered him a job and a place to live. Mr. Cates is out new head of security.
Bobbie:Tell me another one, Stefan. Like why did the guards refuse to let me leave the island when I tried to take the launch, earlier, this morning. They told me they'd been given orders by you not to let me leave the island. Now Jagger moves in. Coincidence? I don't think so. So what's going on, Stefan.
Stefan:I can't get anything past you, can I?
Bobbie:Stefan?
Stefan:All right, I wanted to keep this from you, but I suppose you have a right to know. You're near miss the other day wasn't an accident.
Bobbie:What are you saying?
Stefan:Someone was purposely trying to run you down.
Bobbie:That's ridiculous. Who would possibly want to kill me.
Stefan:My mother.
Bobbie:Why?
Stefan:Because she doesn't want us to get married and she'll do anything, including murdering you, to make sure it doesn't happen.
Bobbie:But, why? Why is she so against us getting married.
Stefan:Because you're a Spencer. Believe me, that's enough of a reason for my mother.(he pulls her into his arms)Barbara, you are the most important person in my life and I won't let my  mother take you away from me.

The Brownstone:
Sonny(opens the door to Helena)Mrs. Cassadine, if you came to see Carly, I'm afraid you just missed her. She just took Michael to the park.
Helena(pushes him aside and enters)Actually, you're the one I came to see. This current situation between you and my granddaughter must come to an end, immediately. For some reason, despite the fact you cheated on her when you were married and have chosen your mistress over her, Caroline still believes she loves you. No doubt because you're my great grandson's father. But that can easily be remedied.(she takes out her checkbook)Just how much do you want to give up all parental rights to your son.
Sonny:Excuse me?
Helena:Mr. Corinthos, you obviously don't have two nickels to rub together. Your mistress is going to have your baby. And the only thing that's trying you and Caroline together is the child you share. I'm doing you a favor. Just name your price and I'll take Michael and Caroline to live with me and you'll never have to see either of them, again.
Sonny:My son is not for sale.
Helena:Come now, Mr. Corinthos, everything is for sale if the price is right. I'll start the bidding at a million dollars. Just think of all you could do with a million dollars. You could start up your nightclub, again. You could go back to living in a penthouse, opposed to this waterfront dive. You'd enjoy that, wouldn't you?
Sonny:What kind of person are you, anyway, trying to buy my first born child from me.
Helena:All right, I'll make it two million dollars. I want you out of my granddaughter and great grandson's lives and I'm willing to pay you for it. Think of how much more you could do with two million dollars.
Sonny:Get out! I love me son and I would never give him up for any price.
Helena:Michael is a Cassadine. He's the heir to the Cassadine estate. He needs to be raised so he can assume his duties when he reaches majority. He doesn't need you in his life.
Sonny:Michael is a Corinthos and I'll never let you get your grubby paws on him. That's why you want him, isn't it. So you can control the Cassadine estate through him. And I'm the only thing standing in your way. You know I won't let you get control over my son, so you're trying to buy me off. That's why you want me out of the way. Well, it's never going to happen, old woman. You'll have to kill me to take my son away from me.
Helena:Don't try to thwart me, little boy. I want Michael and I will have him. Be smart for once in your life and take my generous offer. If you refuse me, you'll force me to stomp you into the ground and take what I want by force. Why not benefit from the inevitable.
Sonny:You will never have my son and if anyone around here is going to get stomped into the ground, it'll be you. I'm young and you're old. I'll still be alive and kicking while you're moldering away in your grave. Instead of trying to steal my child away from me, why don't you make peace with your maker while you still have the chance.
Helena:You don't honestly think you stand a chance against me, do you? You're nothing. You're just some insignificant little busboy who works at Kelly's Diner. You're an annoying little fly I'll trap in my web and devour before you even know what happened to you.
Sonny:Don't mess with me, Mrs. Cassadine. You think a mother lioness is fierce when you try to mess with her young. Well, that's nothing compared to me.
Helena:We shall see.
Sonny:Yes, we shall.

Veronica's Office, Deception:
Stefan(enters)Roberta, I thought I'd stop in and fill you in on the latest. You may not be aware of this, but Brenda will be coming to work, here, tomorrow. I've hired her as our new spokesperson. I figured having her working with us will be the best way we can get to know her so we can tell here were her parents.
Veronica(smiled wanly)Stefan, that's wonderful.
Stefan:Anyway, I'd like you to work closely with her on the photo shootout I've got planned for her.
Veronica:Stefan, maybe that's not such a good idea. Maybe we shouldn't rush things with her. I mean, what's the rush. We've got all the time in the world to get to know her, right?
Stefan:Roberta, I'd really like to tell Brenda I'm her father before the Bacchanalian Ball. I'd like her to be at the party as my daughter when I celebrate my engagement to Barbara.
