Sonny and Lois' Penthouse:
Sonny(rushes in)Lois! Lois, are you here?(he does a quick search of the 
apartment and finds it empty)Where could she be? Maybe she went to the 
Quartermaines.(he rushes back out without securely closing the door. A 
few minutes later someone wearing black gloves pushes the door open and 
begins searching through the drawers before finding Sonny's gun. They 
take it, then leave the way they came)

Internationale Hotel, Rio:
Robert(opens the door to Frisco)So, you finally got here.
Frisco:Has everyone else arrived?
Robert:Yeah, they're out on the terrace waiting for you.(Frisco follows 
Robert as he leads the way)
Anna(Jumps up and hugs Frisco)Frisco, it's so good to see you.
Frisco:(hugs her back)It's good to see you, too, Anna.
Robert:Can we save the hellos for later. Shall we get down to business.
Frisco:I see you're as charming as ever.(Frisco opens the briefcase he's 
carrying and hands Robert, Anna, Sean and Tiffany identical files)Inside 
you'll find a photograph of Claude Moreau so you can all easily identify 
him. He's our target. He's staying in room 312 in this hotel. Claude 
likes to gamble. So the best place we should be able to ambush him is 
the casino, downstairs. And Tiffany should be the perfect person to lead 
him into the trap. Moreau has a real weakness for blondes.
Sean(argues)I don't know about this. I don't want Tiffany put in any 
danger.
Frisco:There's also another reason why it has to be Tiffany. The guy's a 
real fan of her movies.In particular, Godzilla's Girlfriend. 
Tiffany:I'm not surprised. I have legions of them, you know. Well, 
Frisco, darlin, it sounds like this is going to be more fun than usual. 
Usually, I have to stay in the background and let you guys have all the 
fun.
Sean:I don't like it.
Tiffany:Relax, Sean, darlin. I can handle this. Robert, tell him how 
helpful I was on Cassadine island.
Robert:She's right. Tiff can handle herself. Don't worry about it, old 
buddy.
Frisco:Sean's right, too. You'd should be very careful of Moreau, Tiff. 
Remember, this guy is still under Faison's control. There's no telling 
what he's capable of it you arouse his suspicions.
Tiffany:Don't worry, darlin, caution is my middle name.

Quartermaine Mansion:
Sonny(rushes in)Is Lois here?
Edward:Corinthos! I can't believe you have the nerve to show your face, 
here.
Sonny:Look, old man, just tell me if my wife is here or not, and then 
I'll leave.
Edward:Tell me, just how did you do it? You how did you manage to 
corrupt a sweet girl like Lois into becoming your wife.
Sonny:Probably the same way you corrupted Lila into becoming yours.
Edward:Always with the smart mouth. Well, don't think I'm going to allow 
you to corrupt my great-granddaughter the way you have her mother. I'm 
going to make sure you have no part of Brooke's life.
Sonny:You don't have anything to say about it, so why don't you mind 
your own business.
Edward:Why...you...you...
Sonny:Look, I'm going to give you a choice. Either tell me if Lois is 
here or not or I'm going to yell this house down. I may be quiet, but 
I've got a big mouth when I want to. Want me to demonstrate?(he bellows 
at the top of his lungs)Lois! Are you here!
Lila:That won't be necessary, Mr. Corinthos. Lois isn't here.
Sonny:Thank you, Mrs. Quartermaine, I'll be leaving now. My apologies 
for intruding.(he leaves)
Edward:We'll just see how doesn't have a say in matters.
Lila(watches Edward rush over to the phone)Edward, what are you going to 
do?
Edward:I'm going to call a judge friend of mine and start custody 
proceedings against Lois.
Lila:Shouldn't that be Ned's decision.
Edward:Oh, he'll agree with me. There's no way he want his child raised 
by that hoodlum.

Jason's Penthouse:
Carla(enters)Hello! I'm home! Is anybody here?(no one replies)Well, it 
looks like the bimbo with the baby and the big, bad brain damaged 
gangster aren't here. I'd better check to be on the safe side.(she 
searches the place and finds herself alone)They even took the baby with 
them. How convenient of them to make things so easy for me. (she puts on 
a pair of black gloves, takes out a gun and sits in a chair directly in 
view of the door. Then she begins quivering her lips and chin)Oh, 
Detective Taggert, it was awful. When Jason and I got home from the 
party at the Outback Robin Scorpio was waiting for us with a gun. (she 
stops quivering her lips and chin)No, that's not quite right. I'm 
supposed to be a grief-stricken bride who so her beloved groom gunned 
down before her very eyes on her wedding night. Better shed some tears. 
Cops love women with tears. Let's try this.(her eyes begin to get watery 
and she sniffles)Shortly, after Jason and I got married, tonight, Robin 
Scorpio showed up. It seems she thought she and Jason were going to get 
back together and she didn't take it well when she learned we'd just 
gotten married.(she smiles)Much better, Carla. All those drama lessons 
Daddy insisted I take are coming in handy.(she starts crying, again, and 
wobbling her chin)When Jason, Mikey, Lois-Marie and I left her behind in 
the penthouse we thought she'd leave on her own, but she didn't. She 
waited for us to return and the minute we walked in the door she shot 
Jason and ran-off.(she drops the act)Perfect. Anything negative Mikey 
and Lois-Marie say about me to the police will be discounted because of 
what I did to the, tonight. Of course, I could encounter a few problems 
from the mob bosses. Dembroski in particular, might suspect the truth, 
but it's nothing I can't handle. Of course there is one fly in the 
ointment that could ruin it all. Or should I say an annoying chirping 
bird.(she picks up her cell phone and dials a number)Franco, it's me. 
Did you follow the Scorpio girl like I told you when she left the 
building?
Franco:Yeah, after I she ran out of the Harborview Towers she headed to 
some bridge. In fact, she's still there now, sobbing her little heart 
out, the last time I checked.
Carla:Has anyone seen her that could give her an alibi>
Franco:We haven't run into a single soul. 
Carla:Just make sure it stays that way.(she hangs up)
Franco:Right, your majesty. I'd better go check on her, again.(when he 
does he finds the bridge empty)Where could she be? She was here only a 
few minutes ago. I'd better find her fast, or Carla's going to have my 
hide for this.(he takes off running)

Sonny and Lois' Penthouse:
Sonny(enters)Lois! Are you here?(the apartment is silent as a tomb. He 
goes and flops down on the couch)I wonder where she could be.
Lois(comes down the stairs)I'm right here.
Sonny(doesn't move from the couch)Where have you been? I've been 
searching for you for hours. I even went over to the Quartermaines 
thinking you might be there.
Lois:I was walking around and doing some thinking.
Sonny:Lois, I know what you think, but I didn't cheat on you. I haven't 
looked at another woman since we got involved with each other. Not even 
Brenda.
Lois:I know that, Bensonhurst. After I got a chance to think clearly, I 
realized you wouldn't do that to me. You're a lot of things, but one of 
them isn't a cheat. But you did sleep with Carla at some time, didn't 
you?
Sonny:Yeah, I did. 
Lois:When did it happen and why didn't you tell me about it?
Sonny:(takes her hand and tugs her down beside him on the couch)It 
happened when I was 16 on what is probably one of the humiliating nights 
of my life. You remember the night I made a fool of myself over Didi 
Genovese at the prom?(Lois nods a bit confused)Well, my stupidity just 
continued as the night went along. Carla asked me to drive her home and 
fool that I was I agreed. Once we arrived at her place one thing lead to 
another and we had sex.
Lois:What's so humiliating about that. 
Sonny:That wasn't the humiliating part. That happened the next day at 
school. I heard Carla talking by the lockers with her girlfriends. She 
was bragging about how she got me in bed like I was some trophy she won. 
It seems she made a bet with them that she could do it. Cerullo, she was 
the first girl I'd ever had sex with. You know how hard it is for me to 
trust people. But I trusted her with my body and then I found out Carla 
had just used me to win some stupid bet. It made me feel dirty and 
violated. Everytime I think about it I feel ashamed. That's why I didn't 
tell you. You know, it took me a lot of years, but I can finally joke 
about what a fool I made of myself over Didi Genovese. But I could live 
to be a hundred and I still won't be able to joke about what happened 
with Carla.
Lois:(wraps her arms around him and cradles him in her arms like he's a 
wounded child)It's all right, Bensonhurst. We don't ever have to talk 
about his, again. 

Jason's Penthouse:
Carla(is still sitting in the chair as she practices aiming the gun at 
an invisible target opening the door)Bang! Bang! Jason Quarterbrain is 
dead. With just one bullet I blew off his head. Bang! I wonder if I 
should shoot him the minute he enters or give him a chance to realize 
what's going to happen to him? Decisions. Decisions.(she looks at her 
watch)Where is the idiot, anyway. He should be home by now. Come on, 
Morgan, walk through the door so I can shoot you.(she notices the 
doorknob begin to turn and aims the gun as the door begins to 
open)Welcome home, darling, I've been waiting for you.

Sonny and Lois' Penthouse:
Lois(laying on Sonny's chest)I'm sorry I hit you.
Sonny:It's all right. It's not big deal It isn't something I'm not used 
of, by now.
Lois:God, this has been a horrible night. The only think missing from 
tonight's entertainment was Ned hurling nasty insults at us.
Sonny:Maybe it'd be a good idea if we got Brooke from the Q's before 
Ned's returns from his business trip.
Lois:Why? I'm doing what you suggested. I'm letting Brooke get to know 
her father and his family.
Sonny:I just think it would be better if she was with us, right now.
Lois:You're expecting trouble from the Quartermaine's, aren't you?
Sonny:Jason told us the stunts they pulled with Michael. I think they 
could very well try it with Brooke, too. Especially now you're no longer 
Ned's beloved ex-wife, but are Mrs. Sonny Corinthos.
Lois:You've got a point. I'll go pick her up in the morning. But for 
right now why don't we go to bed. I'm bushed.
Sonny(kisses her forehead)Me, too. It's been an awful night. The morning 
can only get better.(as they're walking up the stairs to their bedroom 
they hear a gunshot coming from Jason's penthouse)
