Ballroom, Plaza Hotel:
Lois(and Sonny enter)See, Bensonhurst, you're inside and a bolt of 
lightning hasn't even struck you. So much for your feelings of impending 
doom.
Sonny:Very funny, Cerullo. All right, maybe I overreacted a bit.
Lois:Maybe?
Olga(greets them at the entrance to the ballroom)Hello, I'm Olga 
Swenson. I'm chairing this fundraiser. May I help you?
Sonny(hands her the invitation)I'm Michael Corelli and this is my date, 
Lois Cerullo. 
Olga:Welcome and enjoy. Please go in. Have some champagne. Mix and 
mingle. And don't forget to give a large contribution.(she watches Sonny 
and Lois as they disappear in the crowd gathered within. Then she goes 
over to the phone)Jax, it's Olga. Mr. Corinthos and Ms. Cerullo have 
just arrived.
Jax:Good. Don't let them out of your sights.
Olga:Don't worry, I won't. BTW you didn't tell me he was so divine 
looking. He'd make a great model.
Jax:If you like that type, I suppose. Oh, has my assistant Ms. 
Ardanowski arrived yet?
Olga:Oh, yes, she's here. She's keeping an eye on your Mr. Corinthos but 
making sure he doesn't catch sight of her.
Jax:Excellent. I can't thank you enough for helping me with this.
Olga:It's my pleasure. What are friends for. When you were dating so 
many of my models, who would have thought we'd end up becoming such good 
friends.
Jax:Oh, have you seen Erica, lately?
Olga:No, she's been sticking close to Pine Valley these days.
Jax(watches as Jerry enters)Well, I'll see you downstairs, Olga. Bye.(he 
hangs up the phone)
Jerry:Anything you want to tell me about?
Jax:Not really.
Jerry:(makes a face)Where's the little woman? In the bathroom staring at 
her reflection in the mirror?
Jax:That's not fair, Jerry, and you know it.
Jerry:But it's true nonetheless. I don't know how you stand her. If I 
were married to her, I'd probably put a pillow over her face while she 
was sleeping. What am I saying. I would have never married her in the 
first place.
Jax:She didn't use to be like this.
Jerry:Yeah, yeah, I know. It's all Sonny's fault. Yada, yada, yada. 
Look, if this broad is so mental, why don't you take her to see a 
psychiatrist, then when she's all better you can dump her.
Brenda(comes out of the bathroom)Jax, darling, how do I look. (Jerry 
rolls his eyes)
Jax:Beautiful as always. Let's head down to the ballroom, shall we?
Jerry(as they walk out the door)I've been meaning to ask you, Jax. Why 
are you sponsoring this Aids benefit? Charity really isn't your style 
unless there's something in it for you. So what's in this for you.
Brenda(snarls)How dare you. What a horrible thing to say. Jax is the 
most wonderful and generous and giving man in the whole wide world and I 
won't have you saying bad things like that about him.
Jerry(mutters as they get in the elevator)So speaks the idiot.
Brenda(rounds on him)What did you say to me.
Jerry(smiles)Nothing. You must have imagined I said something.

Wyndemere:
Kat:So let me see if I get this straight. Bobbie is still legally your 
wife, but you don't want me to mention that to her and you certainly 
have no plans to inform her of the change in her marital status, either. 
Have I got that right?(Stefan nods)Then just how do you intend to 
divorce her without her knowing it?
Stefan:I don't want to go into details. Needless to say, there are ways 
of obtaining a divorce without Barbara finding out about it.
Kat:Just how long is this going to take?
Stefan:I really can't say. But because of the need for secrecy, the 
process will no doubt be long and ardurous.
Kat:I see. Stefan, you're a powerful man. Surely, you could buy off a 
judge or something to grant you a quickie divorce.
Stefan:Trying to go the quickie divorce route is what got me into this 
situation in the first place. No, I'm going to handle things my way. 
You'll just have to trust, Katherine, that I know what I'm doing.

Ballroom, Plaza Hotel:
Jax:Olga Swenson, I'd like you to meet me brudder, Jerry, and me wife, 
Brender. Jerry. Brender. This is an old friend on mine, Olga Swenson. 
She's hosting the fundraiser for me, tonight.
Brenda:Oh, yes, I've heard of you. You run the Swenson Modeling Agency. 
I used to be a supermodel, you know. I was the Face of Deception and the 
Jacks Cosmetics Girl.
Olga:Oh, yes, then you went nuts and went to work for that rinky-dink 
car dealership, didn't you?
Brenda:Yes, I was the Genie Car Girl until I retired.
Olga:Wise choice.
Lois:Bensonhurst, I've been trying to remember where I've heard the name 
Olga Swenson, before, and it's finally come to me. She owns and runs the 
Swenson Modeling Agency. Do you know what a coup we could score if we 
could make her one of our business contacts?
Sonny:So what are you standing here, for. Go over there and schmooze 
her.
Lois:You wouldn't mind?
Sonny:Be my guest.
Lois(kisses him before heading off to find Olga)I'll be right back. You 
behave yourself while I'm gone.
Jerry(slips behind V whose hiding behind a potted palm spying on 
Sonny)So we meet again.
V:(almost knocks the plant over)You!
Jerry:Yes, me. What are you doing here lurking behind this potted palm? 
Trying to hide from my brother? The morning after can be so awkward, 
can't it?
V:I don't know what you're talking about.
Jerry:Sure you do, luv. There was only one reason you were cowering in 
my room while the little bubblehead went by squawking my brother's name. 
Don't worry, your secret is safe with me. My lips are sealed. In fact, 
if you and Jax need me to cover for you, I'm at your service.
V:Look, Mr. Jacks, whatever did or didn't happen between me and your 
brother, isn't going to happen again. Do I make myself clear.
Jax:Is everything arranged?
Olga:Just as you ordered. As soon as Mr. Corinthos tries to leave the 
ballroom, they'll ambush him.
Jax:Excellent. Oh, Lois is coming this way. I'd better make myself 
scarce before she sees me and tips off Corinthos.(he heads to where V 
is)
Lois:Mrs. Swenson, could I talk to you for a moment.
Olga:Of course, Ms. Cerullo. What can I do for you.
Lois:Please, call me Lois. You may not be aware of this, but Mr. Corelli 
and I run a talent agency called C&C management and I think we could do 
business together.
Olga:Really? Do tell?
Brenda(comes up to them)Lo, is that you?
Lois:Bren! What are you doing here?
Brenda:Lo, I told you. This is the charity fundraiser Jax is throwing.
Lois:Jax is throwing this?
Brenda:Yes, but he's so modest that he's letting Mrs. Swenson take all 
the credit for it. Isn't he wonderful.
Lois:Bren, I gotta go.
Brenda:Lo, where are you going?
Jax:Are you hiding from me, V? Why didn't you wake me before you left?
V:I didn't really have the time considering I was too busy trying to get 
my clothes back on before Brenda walked in and found us.
Jax:When can I see you again?
V:You can't. Last night was a big mistake. And I'm not going to be your 
piece on the side anymore than I was willing to be your rebound chick.
Lois:Sonny, we've got to get out of here.
Sonny:What's wrong, Cerullo?
Lois:I just ran into Brenda. She told me Jax is behind this Aids 
fundraiser.
Sonny:It's a trap. Somehow he must have found out I'm Michael Corelli 
and he got Jerry to lure me here by using AIDS.
Lois:I told you you couldn't trust Jerry Jacks.
Sonny:That's how Jerry knew about Aids when I didn't tell him. Jax must 
have told him about Stone.
Lois:Let's get out of here before it's too late.(they walk hurriedly to 
the exit. As they step out of the ballroom they're surrounded by 
paparazzi who begin snapping thier picture.)
