Dining Room, Mainhouse on the Isle of San Monique: Bobbie:So, Stefan, how did you enjoy the first mean you helped cook with your own two little hands? Stefan:It was a new experience, but I still prefer sitting at a table and having the servants serve me. Bobbie:I must say I'm surprised. I thought because you had helped make it, it would be the best thing you'd ever eaten. Stefan:Barbara, I don't have that high of an opinion of myself. Bobbie:But it's pretty close.(she looks around the table)Well, now that we've finished eating, I guess it's time we cleared the table and washed the dishes. Stefan:Do we have to? Bobbie:Fraid so, we don't have servants to clean up after us. We're roughing it. Stefan(follows Bobbie into the kitchen)You know, Barbara, I think this situation is going to give me a new respect for the servants. I wasn't aware of all the work they do to make sure I lead a comfortable life. Bobbie:Well, then I guess something good has come out of this. What do you want to do? Wash or dry? Stefan:I'll dry. Carla's Room, Port Charles Hotel: Jason(as Carla enters)What took you so long, Carla? Off causing someone else trouble? Carla:How did you get in here? Jason:Does it really matter? What you should be worried aboaut is why I'm here and just what I'm planning to do to you? Carla:Is that a threat? Jason:Do I have any reason to threaten you? Carla:You tell me. Jason:Let's just stop playing this cat and mouse game. I know you want control of my operation and I know you tried to use Robin to cause trouble for me. If you do it, again, I'll make sure you never see another sunrise. Carla:Is that supposed to scare me, because it doesn't. You harm one hair on my head and your precious little Robin will be preaching her next sermon up in the sky. Jason:What's that supposed to mean. Carla:I'll explain it in terms even you'll understand. If I should die by unnatural causes and it appears you had any connection to it a contract will be put out on little Robin's life. Sort of like what Herando Rivera did to Mikey. So that puts us at a stand-off. I'm not going to stop trying to get control of your mob away from you and the only way you can stop me is to kill me. But if you do, you're going to end up with a dead Robin on your hands. Jason:I'm not going to let you take control away from me and I'm not going to put up with your attempts to try and undermine my leadership. Carla(laughs in his face)Attempts? I've got new for you, Jason, I already have. Tonight isn't the first night I've used Robin to my advantage. Remember the night Robin caused you to miss that mob meeting? I'm the one who put her up to it. And I'm going to keep on using Robin or anyone else I have to to get what I want. Jason:Do you have any idea of the danger you're putting Robin in? Dembroski warned me if I didn't stop Robin from interferring with business, he'd stop her. For all I know he's already planning to do something to her for showing up at our meeting and telling me to leave Tony Jones alone. Do you even care about the danger you're putting Robin in? Carla:Not really. Look, Jason, if you're so worried about Robin, I'll be generous a make you a compromise where we both win. I'll get what I want and you'll keep Robin safe. Marry me and combine the Solieto and Morgan mobs into one powerful mob with both of us as the leader. If you do that, I'll leave your precious Robin alone. Set of Deception Commericial: V(enters)Hi, Lois, how's it going? Lois:Sonny nearly decked the make-up artist for trying to put make-up on him. V, are you all right? You look a little nervous. V(looks around to make sure no one can hear them)Tell me, does pregnancy make you paranoid? Lois:Not that I know of. Why? V:I've had the strangest feeling all day that someone was following me, but everytime I look around nobody's there. Sonny(notices Brenda standing behind him in the mirror)Yes? Brenda:Carla told me something and I want to know if it's true? Did you leave me standing at the altar because you wanted to protect me? Because you loved me enough to let me go if it meant I'd be safe? Sonny:Why should it matter to you if I did or not. You're married to Jax, now. Brenda:Because I deserve to know the truth. You had Jason make me think you never loved me. You made me doubt what we shared together. That it was the most important relationship in both our lives. Out of respect for what we once shared you owe me the truth. Sonny:You're right, I do owe you the truth. You're the first woman I've ever really loved and a part of me will probably always love you to the day I die. You do deserve better than I way I've been treating you. What Carla told you is the truth, but that's only part of it. I wanted you to be safe and to find yourself a new life and you have and in the process I found a new life for myself, as well. Brenda, while I was away from Port Charles, I fell in love with Lois. When you walked in on Lois in bed with someone at the Quartermaine party, it wasn't Jerry Jacks who was hiding under the covers, it was me. Brenda, Lois and I are married and we're going to have a baby.(Brenda starts laughing)You think this is funny? Brenda:I've never heard of anything so ridiculous in my life. You and Lois married. It's ludicrous. I don't know why you felt it was necessary to make up a wild story like that. Was it too much to ask you to be totally honest with me for once in your life. The Docks: Faison(stands on the fog enshrouded docks smoking a cigar as his mind drifts to the past. He remembers talking to a five year old Anna whose staring at him, trancelike)Now, do you understand what I want you to do? Anna:Yes. When Mummy and Daddy are asleep, you want me to go into the nursery, get Gillain and bring her out to you. Faison:Yes, and once you do that, you'll return to the nursery, place an orchid I give you in her crib, go back to you own bed, fall asleep and have no memory of what you've done for me. Do you understand? Anna:Yes, I understand. Faison:Good. Can you hear the waters whispering. Anna(comes out of the trance)What was I saying, Mr. Faison? Madeline Devane(calls for Anna)Anna, where are you?(she freezes in her tracks when she sees Faison)Cesar, what are you doing here? Faison:I was just having a little chat with Anna. Madeline(pulls Anna protectively to her side)Anna, return to the nursery, will you. Nanny McTavish has been looking for you. Anna:Yes, Mummy. Madeline(waits until Anna's out of earshot before turning on Faison)Cesar, you stay away from my daughter. You stay away from me. Faison:Madeline, you're my destiny. You have been since we were children. And it will be fulfilled. I won't give up until I finally have you. Madeline:Cesar, you're evil. Knowing what I now know about you do you really think I'd ever let you touch me. I'd rather die, first. Faison:(comes back to the present)And you did, too. But you haven't thwarted me, Madeline. If I can't have you, I'll have one of your daughters, instead. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
