City Hall, New York: Jake:I can't tell you how honored I am that you asked me to be a witness at your and Lois' wedding, Sonny. Sonny:Well, Cerullo and I thought it would add an air of authenticity to your performance when you marry Carla and I. Lois(Comes rushing up)Am I late? Sonny(kisses her)You're right on time. Lois:Do we have everything? Sonny:Well, you just picked up the rings from the jewelery store. I've got the marriage license. We got our witness Jake, here. And you and I are here. That's all we need.(he turns to Jake)Jake, will you go inside. I need to speak to Lois in private for a moment. Jake:Sure. (he goes insided the room where the judge is waiting to perform the ceremony.) Lois:What's this all about, Sonny? You're not getting cold feet, are you? Sonny:Not on your life. Marrying you is the smartest thing I've ever done. Will you sit down. There's something I want to say. (she sits down on the bench)Cerullo, because of circumstances we have to have a quickie wedding ceremony before I marry another woman, but the least I can do is give you a proper marriage proposal. So, here goes. (he goes down on bended knee)Lois Marie Cerullo, I love you. I've known you most of my life and I've probably been in love with you since we were kids, only I thought you deserved better than me, so I didn't give into my feelings for you. Will you make me the luckiest guy alive by agreeing to become my wife and live with me for the rest of our lives? Lois(kisses him)Yes, I will. It's what I've wanted since we were children. Sonny(takes out a ring box from his back pocket and opens it to display a diamond solitaire engagement ring. Then with a shaky hand he removes the ring from the box and slips it on her finger)I love you. Lois:I love you, too. Sonny(jumps to his feet)All right, now that we've got that done, let's go get married. Lois(as they're about to enter the room)You know I've just thought of what the really great thing abaouat marrying you is. Sonny:What's that? My dimples? My big brown eyes? Because I'm devastatingly handsome? Because of long hot passionate nights where we share the kind of kisses that go on for days? Lois:No, because I won't have to change the monograms on all my towels. Isn't that great. Sonny(as they enter the room)Cute, Cerullo, real cute. Jax's Mountain Cabin: V(loooking out the window as the snow continues to come down)Isn't it ever going to stop? Jax:(uncaring)I'm sure it will, eventually. V(glares at Jax)You know, I can't believe you didn't bring along any supplies here with us. What kind of an idiot plans to strand himself up in the arctic north without any food. Peanut butter and crackers and instant mashed potato flakes? Just how long do you think that's going to last? Jax:Look, all I was thinking about was having some time alone with you. V:And you probably thought when we got hungry you'd just have clam chowder flown in from Boston Harbor or chinese food flowing in from Taiwan, right? Well, take a good look out there, Mr. Jacks. All your money isn't going to be to get take-out food delivered to our front door in this. Jax;You know, V, this is a side to your personality I've never seen before and I don't much like it. V:Well, excuse me. When I get stranded in a blizzard with no food I get a little testy. (she takes down the shotgun hanging above the fireplace and turns to Jax) Jax:Take it easy, V. I know you're upset, but that's no reason to shoot me. V(rolls her eyes)Mr, Jacks, I'm not going to shoot you, as tempting as that is. I'm going to go and hunt for some food. Lucky for you, you're stranded with a person whose father always used to take her hunting as a child. Jax:You're going to go out in that? V:There's no telling when it's going to stop snowing and we could starve by then. Why don't you make yourself useful while I'm gone. I remember you telling me your father used to take you ice fishing in Alaska when you were a boy. Why don't you go down to the lake and see if you can catch anything. The Brownstone: Bobbie(puts the finishing touches on her make-up as she prepares for her date with Jerry. She hears the doorbell ring.)I guess he's early. (she opens the door, but it's Stefan, not Jerry)Stefan, what are you doing here? Stefan(looks her up and down)You look nice, Barbara. You have a date with Jerry Jacks, I take it. Bobbie:You take it right. Stefan:Well then, I guess I arrived just in time, then. Bobbie:Stefan, what do you want? Stefan:(hands her a file)I think you should read this before going out with Mr. Jacks. Bobbie:What is this? Stefan:I took the liberty of running a check on your Mr. Jacks. It makes for interesting reading. Bobbie(laughing)Let me get this straight. You're trying to warn me about Jerry? You! Stefan:Barbara, I'm aware of Mr. Jacks uncanny resemblance to the late Mr. DeLucca. Don't you think it's sick dating a man who looks like your dead lover. Bobbie:Well, at least, I don't have a portrait of Roy in my basement. Stefan:What's that supposed to mean? Bobbie:Luke told me you have another painting of Laura. Stefan:Ah, your precious brother. (the doorbell rings) Bobbie(answers the door to Jerry)Come on in. Jerry:(eyes Stefan)Mr. Cassadine. Stefan:Mr. Jacks. Jerry:I hope I'm not interrupting anything. Bobbie:No, Stefan just dropped by to give me a file he's compiled on you. Jerry:Oh really. Gee, the folder I have on you is twice as large. Stefan:You have a file on me? Jerry:Of course. Are we ready to leave, Red? Bobbie(takes his arm, trying very hard not to laugh)Be sure to lock-up when you leave, Stefan. City Hall, New York: Sonny:Well, Cerullo, how does it feel to be Mrs. Sonny Corinthos. Lois(wraps her arms around him)Well, I won't know that until our wedding night. Speaking of which, just when are we going to have our wedding night? Sonny:I thought we'd have it, tonight. Lois:What about Carla? It's going to be her wedding night, as well. Sonny:But my marriage to Carla is in name only. As soon as possible, I'll ditch Carla and make it over to your apartment, then we'll have a wedding night to remember, Mrs. C.(they begin kissing) Lois:That sounds like a done deal to me. Oh, by the way, when I picked up our wedding rings at the jeweler's, I asked for an extra ring. The jeweler thought I was nuts. Sonny:Why? Lois:I thought there was no sense in you having to wear two different wedding rings. One with me and the other with Carla. Sonny(eyes her closely)Oh, really. It also wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that you'll know you were the first one to slide this ring on my finger, would it. Lois(smiles)That, too. Sonny:You're so bad, Cerullo. (as they continue kissing Carla, Tracy and her bodyguard enter and get a good eyeful) ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
