Jake's Pool Hall:
Sonny(sits down at Faison's table)Have you got my money for me?
Faison:Of course. Do you have my sapphire for me?
Sonny:(looks arounds to make sure no one's watching them before pulling the sapphire out of his pocket. It's wrapped in his handkerchief. He places it on the table and wraps it)This really isn't the place to be doing business like this. If you just give me the rest of the money you owe me, I'll be on my way.
Faison:You're right, of course. In future we'll have to conduct our business dealings in a more private location.
Sonny:Future business dealings? If I didn't make myself clear, before, let me do it, now. This was only a one-time thing. Our business dealings will be finished as soon as you hand over the money you owe me.
Faison:That's where I'm afraid you're wrong, Mr. Corinthos. You see, this is just the beginning of a very long and very lucrative association for the both of us.
Sonny:You can't force me to continue to work for you. Just give me the money and that'll be the end of it.
Faison:That's where you're wrong, again, Mr. Corinthos. You see, I had a servant in my employ who works for Helena Cassadine plant a camera in her bedroom and I have you on video tape stealing the sapphire.
Sonny:If you had a servant of Helena Cassadine's working for you, why didn't you have them steal that stupid sapphire from her, instead of me.
Faison:Because they didn't possess your special abilities at cracking safes. Nor could I put them to further use in helping me acquire things I wish to possess the way I can you.
Sonny:You set me up.
Faison:As a matter of fact, I did. You really should be careful who you do business with, these days. I thought it was very clever of me, don't you? Now the next thing I want you to acquire for me is...
Sonny:I'm not going to do it. You can't make me. There's nothing you can do if I refuse.
Faison:I could send a copy of the tape I have of you to Helena Cassadine, herself. I don't think she'd be too thrilled to know you stole her sapphire from her.
Sonny:Big deal. I'm sure I'll be the first one she suspects when she finds the stupid thing missing. I'm willing to take my chances with the fall-out
Faison:But are you willing to accept the consequences if she happens to show it to the police and she has you arrested for theft.
Sonny:Then I'll just tell them you hired me. I'll make a deal to turn you in for immunity from prosecution. Something tells me this isn't the first time you've done something like this.
Faison:It's going to be a little hard to turn me in when you don't even know my name. You don't even know where I live or anything about me. Of course, you could describe me to the police, but with your track record would they even believe I even exist. Face it, Mr. Corinthos, you have no choice but to continue to work for me. Now, as I was saying before you so rudely interrupted me, there's this Renoir I want. The man who owns it lives in Paris. His name is Charles DeVille. I've already purchased plane tickets and had passports prepared in different names for you and your wife.
Sonny:My wife?
Faison:Yes, my spies tole me she was of a tremendous help to you when Helena Cassadine caught you on her yacht and I've decided for the future success of our business dealings it would be for the best if you two worked together for me as a team. Don't worry, it'll be at double the money. I'll pay your wife for her services, as well.
Sonny:Loo, you just leave Carly out of this.
Faison:I'm afraid I can't. When she decided to help you heist this sapphire from her grandmother, she became an integral part of things. She knows too much to be left out of this, so I've decided it's for the best for all concerned to make her a part of it. I also have your wife captured on tape with you. Don't think the fact your wife is Helena Cassadine's granddaughter will stop Helena from sending her to prison right along with you. In fact, getting rid of both you and your wife is exactly what she'd loved to do, then your son would be parentless and she could get control of him.(he hands Sonny the envelop containing the money and passports)Here's the remainder of the money I owe you. Everything else you need for your next assignment is included, as well.
Sonny:How am I supposed to explain to Brenda abouat going off to Paris with Carly.
Faison:You're a clever young man, Mr. Corinthos. I'm sure you'll think of something.

Deception:
Brenda:(enters)Stefan, I got a message that you wanted to see me. Is anything wrong?
Stefan:Please sit down, Brenda. I called you here because I wanted to discuss something with you. How would you feel about going on a two-week nationwide tour promoting Deception.
Brenda:So soon? The print ads and billboards just came out, this morning.
Stefan:I thought se should strike while the iron was hot. Besides, I'm sure you won't want to be doing a tour when you get further along in your pregnancy.
Brenda:I don't know how Sonny's going to feel about this. I'm not sure if he'll want me going on a tour all alone while I'm pregnant. And it's absolutely out of the question asking Sonny to come with me. He couldn't afford to be away from his job for two weeks.
Stefan:But, my dear, you wouldn't be alone. Barbara and I would be going with you. I thought I could combine the tour with a pre-wedding honeymoon for us.
Brenda:Can I talk to Sonny and get back to you with my answer?
Stefan:Of course.
Brenda;I'll just go do that, now, and give you my answer later, today.

Wyndemere:
Anna:Bobbie, I was wondering what you know about Sonny and Carly Corinthos.
Bobbie:Why?
Anna:I just became curious about them since Robert and I are living in the Brownstone. You havea to admit that's a very strange situation you got going in your house. He's living with one woman who's pregnant and another woman who he's married to and who is the mother of his son. I know Brenda Barrett is Stefan Cassadine's daughter, but I know next to nothing about Sonny and Carly.
Bobbie:Actually, Sonny is my son-in-law and Carly is my daughter.
Anna:What!
Bobbie:It's a long, very complicated and not very pleasant story. Needless to say, I am Carly's mother and until the divorce is granted, Sonny's mother-in-law. So what do you want to know about them, exactly?
Anna;Actually, you've told me all I need to know.
