Isle of San Monique: Bobbie:What did you say? Stefan:Do you really need me to repeat it, Barbara? Bobbie:No, I don't. There is no village of natives that need to be innoculated, is there? Stefan:No, in fact you and I are the only two inhabitants on the island at the moment. Bobbie:You tricked me. You made up a story and you fed it to Audrey and suggested she approach me, didn't you? Stefan:That about sums it up. Welcome to my private sanctuary, Barbara. Welcome to the Isle of San Monique. Bobbie:You can save the welcomes, because I'm not staying. There must be a boat somewhere on this island. I'll just find it and head to the mainland. Stefan:I'm sorry to disappoint you, Barbara, but there are no boats. No, the only way off this island is by my jet, which will be back for us in two weeks. Bobbie:Then I'll use the phone and have a boat sent to collect me. Why are you shaking your head, like that? Stefan:There's no phones, either. Bobbie:Are you telling me I'm stranded on this island without a phone or transportation off with you for two weeks? Stefan:That about sums it up. Bobbie:You think you're so clever, don't you. Stefan:Barbara, you of all people know that when I plan something, I plan it well. I suggest you just relax and enjoy your vacation. If you give this place a chance you'll like it. For instance, I know how you enjoy waking up with the sun shining in your room. Your room, here, will be filled with sunshine when you awake in the morning. Ot to mention the sound of the birds singing in the tree. Won't that be lovely. By the way, your room connects to mine, of course. I thought it would be a little too presumptuos of me to put you in the master bedroom with me. Bobbie:Oh, you? Never!(she stomps into the house) Stefan(follows her inside with a smirk on his face)Now, Barbara, don't be that way. Bobbie:Don't be that way? Don't be that way! You trick me into coming to this island and you say, "Don't be that way." Pray tell, how should I be? Should I be grateful or should I feel honored that you once again want to lift me out of the gutter and make me something finer. Your wife. I'm going to tell you the same thing I told you when you threw me out. I am a whore you cannot afford. Stefan:There's no need to sink to vulgarities, Barbara. Bobbie:You know what I find really interesting about this whole thing. When you had me, you didn't want me. If you weren't off slinking over to your little gutter kitty's penthouse, you were paying midnight visits to her hospital room. But now that I've got a man in my life who actually wants me and not because he wants revenge on my brother, you suddenly decide you want me back. Stefan:Just what are you suggesting, Barbara? Bobbie;You're so clever, you figure it out. Stefan:You know, Barbara, our time here will be miserable if all you can do is snipe at me. Bobbie:That's your problem. I didn't ask to be here. Just where is my bedroom. I'd like to go and unpack my thing. Stefan:Shouldn't you head to the kitchen, first. Bobbie:Why would I want to do that? Stefan:To cook us dinner, of course. You see, I dismissed all the staff so we could be alone together, here, so I naturally assumed you'd... Bobbie:Do all the cooking? You know, Stefan, when they made you they broke the mold. Stefan:Why don't I think that wasn't a compliment. Bobbie:Because it wasn't. You trick me into coming here and now you expect me to do the cooking. Incredible! Stefan:Well, you don't expect me to cook, do you? I couldn't boil a pain of water without burning it. Barbara, Cassadine's don't cook. Bobbie:Well this one better, because if he doesn't he's going to starve. Look, I'll make you a bargain. I'm not willing to ask as your servant for the next two weeks, but I'll share the chores with you. We can perform all of them, including cooking, together. Deal? Stefan:What choice do I have? You'll probably let me starve otherwise. Deal. Carla's Room, Port Charles Hotel: Carla:(on the phone)What have your sources in Morgan's camp told you? Franco:Dembroski and the other mob bosses have heard of the dock theft and demanded a meeting with Morgan to find out what he's going to do about it. It's scheduled for an hour from now. Carla:That should give me just enough time to send little Miss Scorpio over to Morgan's so she can interrupt the meeting and do her thing right in front of the others.(she hears a knock at the door)Speaking of which, here she is, now. I'll talk to you, later.(she hangs up the phone and goes to answer the door) Robin:Carla, you made it sound urgent on the phone. What is it? Carla:I know Tony Jones is a friend of yours. Robin:What about Tony? Carla:Word on the street is Jason is going to put a hit out on him. Robin:That's crazy. You must be wrong. Jason promised me he wouldn't harm Tony and he wouldn't break a promise to me. He wouldn't. Carla:I hope you're right. But as we speak Jason is holding a meeting with the other mob bosses to discuss Dr. Jones future or should I say lack of one. Robin:Well, I'll just have to go over there and straighten things out. I'll make Jason see it's wrong for him to harm Tony.(she rushes out the door) Carla(smiles as the door closes behind her)You just do that. Yes, you make sure Jason does exactly as you say and right in front of Dembroski and the others, you interferring little twit, and then I'll step right in and take over everything that belongs to Morgan and I'll owe it all to you.(she puts on her coat)And now that I've got that situation taken care of, it's time to deal with Ms. Vogue, next. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
