Sonny and Lois' Apartment: V(opens her eyes and sees Sonny watching her)Mr. Corinthos! Where's Miss Cerullo? Sonny:Lois left for work. She told me about your situation. V:I don't see it's any of your business. Sonny:Lois has made it my business. She's asked me to help you. V:I don't need your help. Sonny:From where I'm sitting, you need all the help you can get. You no longer have just yourself to think about, you also have a baby. You have to think about what kind of life you want for your baby. Are you going to continue working for Jax in hopes that as you grow big with his child he'll put two and two together, realize it's his baby, dump Brenda and marry you. V:Look, Mr. Corinthos, I have no intention of using my pregnancy to get Jax to marry me. I wouldn't want a man who only was with me because he got me pregnant. In fact, I have no intention of telling Jax I'm pregnant with his child. Sonny:That may be a little difficult with the two of you living in the same town. I've never thought much of Candyboy's intelligence, but even he should be able to figure out the kid is his. V:What are you telling me? I should leave town. Sonny:No, I'm offering you an option out of this mess. You say you don't want Jax to know you're pregnant because you don't want him to be with you out of obligation. Lois says you ended your relationship with Jax and want it to stay that way. And since you're going to have a baby, you'r going to need a way to support yourself and your child. I'm willing to give you a well-paying job in my New York office complete with an apartment in a good neighborhood. The choice is yours if you take it or not. Lobby, Harborview Towers: Carla(enters)Hello, Freddy. Freddy:Mrs. Corinthos, I thought you moved out. Carla:I did. Actually, I'm here to see you. I need you to do me a little favor. No one gets up to the penthouse floor without you being aware of it. So if my husband and Lois Cerullo were up there, you'd know about it. When you're sure they're not, I want you to call me and when I arrive I want you to let me slip upstairs. I also need for y ou to find me an apartment close to Mr. Morgan's penthouse for me to set up some electronic equipment. Freddy:Mrs. Corinthos, I can't do that. I'd lose my job if the manager found out about that. Carla:I'm afraid you misunderstood me. I'm not asking you, I'm telling you.(she takes some papers out of her purse)You see these? These are your markers from your bookie. I bought them up. In effect, I own you and you are mine to do with as I say. If you help me, I'll tear your markers up, but if you refuse I'll demand upon immediate repayment and if you're unable to repay me, I'll have your legs broken. Do I make myself clear. Freddy:Perfectly. The apartment next to Mr. Morgan's is empty. You can set you equipment up there. The people who live there are on a six-month cruise. I'll get you the key. Carla:Very good, Freddy. And while you're doing that, you can also get me the key for my husband and Miss Cerullo's apartment, as well. Photo Shoot, Deception: Kat(is pacing the floor)Where is he? Lois:Don't worry, Sonny will be here at any moment. He's just taking care of a personal matter. Kat:What? Lois(glances at Brenda whose all ears and knows she can't mention V)You may not be aware of this, but Sonny and Carla have decided to get a divorce. Kat:But they just got married. Lois:Sonny and Carla have realized they just don't suit and she's moved into the Port Charles Hotel, so that's probably what's delaying him. Sonny(enters)I'm sorry, I'm late. Can we get this over with. Kat;You have to get in wardrobe, first. Sonny:What's wrong with what I'm wearing? Kat:It doesn't fit with my concept. SonnyP:I hope you don't plan for me to shimmy into some leather pants, because I'm not going to do it. I don't do leather. Kat:No, there's no leather involved. Here;s your wardrobe.(she tosses a bundle at him) Sonny:(shakes it out)It's a sheet! You want me to wear a sheet! Kat:That's right. Strip off your clothes and wrap yourself in it. Lois:Strip off his clothes! What does Sonny being naked have to do with selling cologne. Brenda:Lois, you just don't understand Katherine's concept. Kat:That's right. Sonny, you represent the embodiment of sin. To transmit that image I'm going to have a big billboard of you laying in a rumpled bed, the sheets pooled dangerously low around your hips, your hair all mussed up from a night of hot, passionate sex, giving the camera one of those hot, smoldering looks you're so good at. When all the females in this town look at that billboard they'll think sin. Sonny:Forget about it! No way am I going to appear naked on some billboard all over town. I didn't even have a picture like that taken of myself when I was a baby. Haven't you ever heard that less is more. Less flesh is more sexy. I don't have to take my clothes off to be sexy and that's what you're trying to sell. Sex. Kat:In this case, less clothes on you will sell more cologne and that's what we're after, here. Look, you came to me offering to help me turn this company around so we can keep it out of Jax's hands. Well, this is the way to do it. Sonny:All right! Fine! I'll do it! But I don't like it!(he stomps into the dressing room to disrobe) Grounds of Spoon Island: Bobbie:You know, we really have to stop meeting like this. Stefan's going to start getting suspicious if I keep disappearing like this. Jerry:So how is the count doing? Has he made any progress, yet? Bobbie:No, he still has no feeling in his legs and he can't walk. Jerry:Oh, really. Tell me, Red, what would happen if Cassadine started suddenly walking, today? Bobbie:I'd pack up my bags and head back to Port Charles on the next launch. Jerry:Are you sure you'd still want to leave? Are you sure being back here hasn't resurrected some of your old feelings for Cassadine? Bobbie:I'm sure. I was burned once by Stefan, I have no desire to be burned, again. As soon as Stefan can walk, I'm out of here. Look, I'd better be getting back.(she gives him a quick kiss) Jerry:I'll see you later, Red.(as she walks out of hearing range)And sooner than you think.(Jerry takes out a cigar and lights it up)Yes, indeedy, it looks like old Dr. Jerry is gonig to have to lay hands on Cassadine and heal him. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
