Wyndemere:
Stefan(to Mrs. Lansbury as he and Bobbie enter)Mrs. Lansbury, will you 
take my wife's suitcase upstairs and put it in our bedroom.
Mrs. Lansbury:Of course, Mr. Cassadine.
Stefan:Can I get you a drink Barbara?
Bobbie:You're so pleased with yourself, aren't you.
Stefan(sipping a snifter of brandy)As a matter of fact, I am. 
Bobbie;You said you could get Carly out of her legal problems. How?
Stefan:Quite simple, actually. I'll just have someone come forward who 
saw Carly being attacked in the underground parking garage as she 
claimed to verify her story to the police.
Bobbie;You mean you'll have somebody lie and say they saw Carly being 
attacked?
Stefan;Does it really matter if your daughter gets off the hook?

Sonny and Lois' Penthouse:
Sonny(answers the door as someone begins pounding on it)Ashton, I've 
been expecting you. What took you so long.
Ned:Where's my daughter, Corinthos?
Sonny:Upstairs with her mother where she belongs.
Ned:Go and get her, now.
Sonny:No can do. And if you're seriously thinking about taking Lois to 
court to get custody of Brooke away from her, I'd think again.
Ned:Oh, I am taking Lois to court and I will get custody of my daughter 
and I'll owe it all to you. With your criminal background no judge in 
his right mind would want you anywhere near a child.
Sonny:Especially, if you've got the judge in your hip pocket, right, 
Ashton? Look, you don't want to mess with Lois and me. We grew-up in 
Brooklyn. We cut out teeth on fighting dirty. We can get down in the 
dirt and fling mud at you just as well as you can.
Ned:You're bluffing. What could you possible fling at me. I'm a highly 
respected businessman.
Sonny:You're also a former bigamist. You slept with your uncle's wife. 
You lied to the police about who was driving the car the night Jason was 
brain damagead. Need I go on? And I haven't even gotten into the life 
and times of the other members of your family, yet. Hey, compared to 
you, Ashton, I'm a boy scout.

The Sleephollow Inn:
Jerry(half asleep, rolls over and finds Bobbie's side of the bed 
empty)Red, where are you?(he notices the note, picks it up and reads 
it)Damn it! I know Cassadine's behind this. (he jumps out of bed and 
begins pulling on his pants)

Faison's Penthouse:
Faison:I know, Ms. Ardanowski, you're not thrilled about taking this 
possession and Mr. Jacks pretty much pressured you into taking it.
V:Jax means well. He just wants me to be safe.
Faison:Well, I think you're going to be pleasantly surprised about this 
job as my research assistant. It's not the usual boring old job of 
checking facts.
V:Then just what will my job entail.
Faison:Well, you see, I like my books to be realistic and authentic. So 
the things I have Davnee do in my books, you and I must check out first 
if it's possible to do.
V:I'm not sure I know what you mean?
Faison:Well, for example, Davnee in chapter one meets with her contact 
to pass a small capsule of microfilm under the watchful eyes of a room 
full of people in a restaurant. I haven't figured out the best way for 
her to do it, so you and I would have to meet downstairs in the Port 
Charles Hotel Grill and figure out how best it could be accomplished.
V:You mean I would pretend I'm Davnee and you're my contact and that I 
have to pass some microfilm to you without anyone realizing what I'm 
doing?
Faison:That's exactly what you and I will do. (he gets up and goes over 
to the closet and takes out a black evening gown)This is the dress 
Davnee wears in chapter one. There's also jewelry, underwear and other 
accessories to go with this outfit, which I'll supply to you.(he also 
hands her a small capsule)This is the capsule containing the microfilm 
that you will hide somewhere on your person. I will go downstairs to the 
Grill and await your arrival, while you put on Davnee's things. And when 
you enter the Grill you will cease being Venus Ardanowski and you will 
become the mysterious and alluring spy called Davnee.
V:Me? Mysterious and alluring? Whatever you say, Mr. Faison. After all, 
you are the boss.

Stefan's Bedroom, Wyndemere:
Stefan(is wearing a black silk robe and matching pajama bottoms chilling 
a bottle of champagne as Bobbie exits the bathroom)It's about time, 
Barbara. I thought you intended to stay in there for the rest of your 
life.
Bobbie;Would that I could.
Stefan:(hands her a glass of champagne)Nonsense, Barbara, you're not 
some coward to hide yourself away in the bathroom and avoid a 
confrontation. You're the type to beard a lion in his den and enjoy 
doing it.
Bobbie:(glances at the bed)I suppose you insist upon a marriage in every 
term of the word.
Stefan:Of course. You and I made an agreement when we got married to 
have a european marriage. That love was just some fleeting emotion that 
didn't last and we possessed the things to make a successful marriage 
work. We got sidetracked by Katherine and Mr. Jacks, but we were happy 
once and I know we can be again.(he unbelts her robe and lets it drop to 
the floor. Then he holds her face in his hands as he moves in to kiss 
her)

Sonny and Lois' Penthouse:
Lois:Did I hear Ned's voice down here, earlier?
Sonny:Yeah, he just left. We're going to have problems with him. He'll 
never allow me to be Brooke's stepfather.
Lois:So he's still intent on taking custody of Brooke away from me?
Sonny:Yep, what I need to know is are you willing to get down in the mud 
and fight just as dirty as Ned, to stop him from succeeding. Are you 
willing to use every dirty secret you know about the Q's against him, if 
that's what it comes to?
Lois:Are you kidding, Bensonhurst. Do you even need to ask. To keep 
Brooke from being turned into a Quartermaine, I'd kill if I had to.

Wyndemere:
Jerry(begins pounding on the front door)Cassadine, I know you're in 
there! Come out and face me you bloody coward!
