Dr. Monroe's Office, General Hospital: Lois:(watches as the doctor leaves and once alone V breaks down and cries. She enters the room)Is there anything I can do for you, Miss Ardanowski? V:Miss Cerullo, what are you doing here? Lois:I'm here for the same reason you are. I just found out I'm pregnant, but unlike you I'm happy about it. V:You know I'm pregnant. Lois:And by who. It's Jax's baby, isn't it? V:How do you know about me and Mr. Jacks? Lois:I dropped by to visit Brenda and I saw you and Jax kissing in the hall. V:I swear it's over between us. It only happened twice and I ended it. Look, Miss Cerullo, you have no reason to believe me, but I was brought up better than to become some married man's piece on the side. Lois:I believe you. Sonny pretty much said the same thing about you. He has great respect for you and if you know Sonny that's high praise. Look, why don't we get out of here and go somewhere we can talk. V:I don't know...You're Brenda's best friend and I'm pregnant with her husband's child. Lois:Yeah, and not only am I sleeping with the ex-love of her life, I'm also married to Sonny and pregnant by him. V:What! Lois:Come on, V, I think we could both use a friend to confide in. If you tell me your story, I'll tell you mine. Get dressed and we'll go somewhere private we can talk. Wyndemere: Stefan(and Bobbie are playing chess)You're becoming very adept at the game, Barbara. Bobbie:But I'm still no match for you. You still remain the master chess player. Stefan:Check mate. Shall we play another? Bobbie:Why not. Stefan:Barbara, I've got a hypothetical question foryou to ponder and I'd like your opinion on it. Bobbie:Shoot. Stefan:Let's say there's this man. For years he was fixated on this one woman. He idealized her and he lived for the day that they'd one day be together. Then he met this other woman. He saw her as a means to an end and never realized she was his true soul mate. Before he had a chance to realize what his true feelings were for this woman, he met a third woman. Without realizing what he was doing, he started using the third woman as a substitute for the first woman. Now he's finally realized the second woman is the only woman who can make him truly happy. Do you think it's too late for them. What's your opinion. Bobbie:Don't, Stefan. Stefan(covers her hand with his own)Barbara, we're still married. There's no reason we can't start over. Bobbie:(pulls her hand away from Stefan's)No reason? There's every reason we can't start over. Throughout our entire marriage you were seeing Katherine Bell behind my back. Stefan:I was never physically unfaithful to you when we were together. Bobbie:(gets up and starts pacing the floor in agitation)But you were in every other way, weren't you? Stefan:Is it Jerry Jacks? Are you in love with him? Bobbie:I don't know why my feelings for Jerry are. I know he's fun to be with and I always have a good time when I'm with him. He makes me laugh. As for love...I fell in love with you and it was the biggest mistake of my life. I'm not anxious to fall in love, again. Stefan:Are you still in love with me, Barbara? Is that why you're here? Bobbie:I am here because your mother threatened me. In her weird Cassadine way she blames me for you being paralyzed. She says if I'd been a better wife to you you wouldn't have gotten involved with Katherine Bell. It's the only reason I'm here. Let me make myself crystal clear, Stefan. You and I. It isn't going to happen. As soon as you can walk, I'm getting out of her and filing for divorce.(she storms out of the room) Stefan:(yells at her departing back)You loved me once, Barbara, and I can make you love me, again.(he gets out of his wheelchair and begins pacing) Jerry(watching him through the window)You bloody faker. You can walk as good as I can. Sonny and Lois' Apartment: Sonny(enters carrying flowers and champagne)Sweetheart, have we got something to celebrate. Lois:Shh!(she points to V whose asleep on the couch) Sonny:What's she doing here? Lois:It's a long story. To cut to the chase, V's pregnant, she's only succumbed to Jax's charms twice and what I saw was Jax's attempt to resurrect their affair. Sonny:You told her about us, didn't you? Lois:I figured it wold be the only way to get her to open up to me. Our situations are kind of similar. I mean, we're both pregnant by married men. Sonny:But the person I'm married to is you. Lois:But everyone else, including Carla, thinks you're married to her. Sonny:Not for long. Lois:What are you talking about. Sonny:That's what the flowers and champagne are for. Carla's moved to the Port Charles Hotel. She wants out of our "marriage". Lois:What! Sonny:It's true. She gave me some song and dance about being in love with me and realizing it always would be unrequited and that she was letting me go so I could be with you. Lois:Carla's up to something. Sonny:I don't care if she is. In a couple of weeks I'll have Justus give Carla some fake divorce papers and I'll finally be free of her. By the way, how did you find out V was pregnant? Lois:There's something I have to tell you, but now isn't the right time. I want to wait to tell you when the moment is perfect. Sonny:Sounds serious. Lois(wraps her arms around him and kisses him)Trust me, Bensonhurst, when I tell you this you're going to like it. Uncle Bob's Electronic Store: Clerk:I think this is the camera you have in mind, Mrs. Corinthos. A lot of women are using it to catch their cheating spouses in the act, if you know what I mean, so they can obtain a lucrative divorce settlement. Carla:(examines it)It's very small so if someone didn't know it way there, they wouldn't notice it. Good. And it picks up sound? I want a camera that picks up sound. Clerk:Yes.(he points out something on the camera)You see right there. That's the condenses microphone. It's very sensitive. It'll pick up a pin dropping. Carla:Excellent. And how long a range does it have? See, the camera will be in one place and the monitor and recorder will be in another location. I want to watch the action while it's going on. Clerk:It has about a mile range, roughly. Carla:Perfect. I'll take a couple of these cameras plus the recorders and monitors to go with them. I'll pay for them in cash. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
