Lois' Apartment, Bensonhurst: Lois:(sits down on the couch in shock)What did you say? Sonny:I asked you to marry me. Will you? Lois:Are you crazy? Sonny:Probably.(he takes Lois' hand in his)Look, Cerullo, I know this is not the perfect time to get married. I mean, I'm about to con Carla into thinking I'm really married to her when I'm not. But I want to know everything is set between us before I do this. That after this whole mess is over with, we're going to be together. Lois:Yes. Sonny:And I've already got it worked out with how we can do it. We'll tell the judge whose supposed to marry Carla and I that the wedding has been moved up an hour and he'll marry you and I instead. Lois:Yes. Sonny:Then at the time Carla and I are supposed to get married, we'll have out ringer play the judge and "marry" Carla and I. Lois:YES! Yes, yes, yes!(she pulls his face towards her and kisses him) Sonny:You mean it. Lois:I guess great minds think alike. I was thinking the same thing, but I didn't want to say anything. I'll feel better about you marrying Carla if I know you're really mine. Sonny:You don't mind not having a big church wedding? Lois:Well, if we did that I think it might get back to Carla, don't you? Sonny:As soon as this is all over, I promise you we'll get married in the church we were both baptized in by the priest who baptized us. Lois:All right, so what do we have to do? Sonny:Well, get a marriage license, first. Lois:I probably shouldn't ask any of my family to come. Sonny:Yeah, the less people who know, the better. I mean, until this whole farce with Carla is over, we have to keep our marriage a secret for safety sake. I'm sorry it has to be like this. Lois:Hey, that's all right. Besides, a secret marriage sounds like fun. And I'm going to love Carla thinking you're her husband when you're really mine. Sonny:I love you, Cerullo. Lois:I love you, too, Bensonhurst. Jax's Mountain Cabin: Jax(looking through the cupboards)What would you like to eat? We've got peanut butter and crackers and instant mashed potato flakes. Oh, we've even got a bottle of wine. V(under her breath)Naturally. I'll have peanut butter and crackers and tap water, thank you. Jax:V, is it necessary for you to be so cold to me. V:Look, Mr. Jacks, I'm not a fool. You're not satisfied in your marriage and you're looking for a piece on the side to liven things up and you think because I had too much to drink one night and let you have your way with me, it's going to become a regular thing, but it isn't. I have too much self-respect for myself to all myself to become your mistress. Jax:V, what have I done to make you distrust me so. Have I made one move on your since we slept together? V:No, not if you don't count this. Jax:This? You're accusing me of setting this up? V:Come on, Mr. Jacks, this has your name written all over it. When we arrive Brenda and Jerry are conveniently not here. Then your car won't work. And we're trapped by a snowstorm. Jax;Surely, V, you're not suggesting I have the power to control the weather. V:No, but you could make your plans around a snowstorm the weatherman has forecasted. Look, I'm only going to say this once. While we're trapped here, don't step over the employer/employee line or you'll regret it. Jax:Are you threatening me with a sexual harrassment suit. V:Hardly, I'm just giving you a warning. Take one step out of line with me and I'll simply give you a swift kick between the legs. Do I make myself clear. Jax:Perfectly, I saw you in action in Tiger Key, remember. V:Good, then you'll know that's no idle threat. Now where are those crackers and peanut butter. I'm famished. Wyndemere: Kat(enters)Mrs. Lansbury tells me you wanted to see me. Stefan:Yes, I got a very interesting call from Alan Quartermaine's office. It seem you had a physical exam so you could start taking fertility drugs. Tell me, Katherine, why would you want to start taking fertility drugs. Kat:Because I wanted to have your baby. Stefan:Without discussing it with me, first? You know what I think. You wanted to get pregnant so you could trap me. Kat;That's not true, Stefan. Stefan:Oh, really. First you try to pressure me into marrying you. Then when I tell you Barbara and I are still legally married, against my wishes you attempt to tell Barbara of our change in martial status. Now you're trying to get pregnant without my knowledge, which just so happens to be the oldest trick in the book to trap a man into marriage. Katherine, I will not be manipulated in this fashion. Lately, you've been showing me new facets to your personality and I don't like what I see. Kat:Well, you don't have to worry about me trapping you into marriage by getting pregnant, because you made sure that will never happen. Stefan:What are you talking about? Kat:When you shot me you didn't just paralyze me, you sterilized me, as well. Because of you I can't ever have any children. The Next Day: Jax's Mountain Cabin: V(decides since it's daylight she might be able to figure out what's wrong with Jax's car. She goes through his jacket pocket looking for his car keys and finds the distributor cap and sees red)Why you miserable, no good...(she throws the distributor cap at a sleeping Jax's head) Jax(awakes suddenly)Ow! What did you throw at me? V:The distributor cap. Of all the rotten things to do. Get up off the couch and put it back where you found it. I've had more than enough of your company and I want to go home. Jax:(sits up and starts pulling on his boots)I don't know why you're so upset. You should be flattered I went through all this trouble to be alone with you. V:Are you forgetting you're a married man? Jax:I wish I could.(he opens the door and smiles)Well, V, it looks like neither of us is going anywhere. V:What are you talking about? Jax:Take a look. We're snowed in. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
