Brooke's Bedroom, Bensonhurst:
Lois(shakes Sonny awake)Come on, Bensonhurst, time to wake-up.
Sonny:(opens his eyes and yawns)I guess I fell asleep. What time is it.
Lois:It's morning. Brooke's waiting for you to join us so we can have 
breakfast.
Sonny:What about Brenda?
Lois:She's gone. Jax's pilot called. He said Jax instructed him to fly 
to New York as soon as the fog cleared to fly her back hom so she 
wouldn't have to take a commericial flight back.
Sonny:Oh, that's so sweet it gives me a toothache.
Lois:A bit testy this morning, aren't we?
Sonny:Cerullo, you know I'm not a morning person.
Lois:You heard what Brenda said about you, last night, didn't you? You 
only have yourself to blame. If you'd just tell her the truth, she'd 
know differently.
Sonny:We've already had this conversation. Even if I didn't have a price 
on my head, I still don't think I'd tell Brenda the truth. It would only 
stir things up I don't want stirred. Do I have enough time for a quick 
shower and a shave?
Lois:Yeah, if you make it quick.
Sonny:(kisses her as he heads to the bathroom. He stops at the door)Oh, 
by the way, I forgot to mention to you. Jerry Jacks sent me an 
invitation to an Aids benefit for tonight. Want to go with me?
Lois:Where's it being held?
Sonny:Here in New York. It's being held in the ballroom of the plaza 
hotel.
Lois:Real hoity-toity. I wish you'd told me sooner. I could have bought 
myself a dress when I was shopping at Bloomie's with Brenda, yesterday.
Sonny:It didn't arrive until, yesterday.
Lois:And I only have a few hours to find myself something presentable to 
wear.
Sonny:Come on, Cerullo, you look great in a potato sack. So, will you go 
with me or do I have to go stag?
Lois:Sure, I'll go with you.

Wyndemere:
Kat(enters carrying a stack of bridal magazines. She sits down on the 
sofa and begins going through them)Oh, Stefan, there's just so many 
beautiful gowns I can't choose which one I like best.
Stefan:Are you trying to help Ms. Jones pick one out for her wedding to 
Mac Scorpio.
Kat:No, this isn't for Felicia, it's for me, silly. Oh, I think this 
gown would be perfect for Robin. You know, it's really too bad you're on 
the outs with Alexis and your mother. If you weren't, I could recruit 
them as bridesmaids. As it is I'm really going to have a hard time 
finding enough attendants to fill up my bridal party. I don't know why 
it is, but women just don't like me.
Stefan:Katherine, I never agreed we should get married.
Kat:Why shouldn't we?
Stefan:I think we need time to get to know each other better, first.
Kat:Stefan, we already know each other. We got to know each other real 
well when you paid me all those midnight visits in the hospital after 
you shot me.
Stefan:Katherine, must you always throw that in my face. It's over and 
done with. Can't you just let it go.
Kat;You know, Stefan, I'm getting the impression you don't want to marry 
me.
Stefan:Don't be ridiculous. I just don't see any need to rush into 
things, that's all. I think we need to test our relationship to see if 
it's strong enough to overcome all obstacles before we marry.
Kat:Stefan, don't you think our relationship has already been tested 
enough. I mean, you shot and paralyzed me and I forgave you. You 
publicly humiliated me and I forgave you. And you've made me your 
glorified mistress and I've put up with it. You know what I think 
Stefan. You've gotten the milk for free and now you don't want to buy 
the cow.
Stefan:Katherine, that's simply not true. I didn't want to tell you 
this, but I'm afraid you're forcing me to. My accountant, Malcom, 
recently made a shocking discovery. I'm still legally married to 
Barbara.
Kat:You're what!
Stefan:It's true.
Kat:What are you going to do about it?
Stefan:Why, desolve my union with Barbara, of course. But I have to be 
careful how I do it. Barbara mustn't know of our change in marital 
status. Ever since she learned I knew Miss Roberts was her daughter and 
kept it a secret, I've felt she's been looking for a way to pay me back. 
To spite me she might try to fight the divorce. That's why you mustn't 
mention this to her.

Ned's Office, ELQ International:
Jason:(enters)You wanted to see me?
Ned:You give Sonny a message for me. You tell him I want to see him, 
pronto.
Jason:Ned, I don't know what you're talking about.
Ned: Don't play dumb with me, Jason. I know he's really Michael Corelli 
and I want to know what kind of game he's playing with me.
Jason:You know how Sonny feels about Jax. Sonny also owns a piece of 
ELQ. He's not about to let Jax takeover the company if he can do 
something to stop it.
Ned:You can tell Sonny where he can shove his help. If I were dying of 
thirst, I wouldn't accept a glass of water from him after what he did to 
Brenda.
Jason:Come on, Ned, who are you trying to kid. You're not going to 
refuse Sonny's help because of Brenda. On your list of priorities. 
Brenda rates real low. Certainly not above ELQ. And you and I both know 
the only chance you have of keeping Jax's hands off the company is 
Sonny.

Jax's Bedroom:
V(awakens to find herself wrapped in Jax's arms in his bed. She holds 
the sheet away from her body and is horrified to find herself naked)Oh, 
god, what have I done? Oh, I know what this is. I'm dreaming this. I'm 
having a nightmare. All I have to do is close my eyes and I'll wake-up 
in my own bed. Dressed. (she closes her eyes)All right, V, wake-up.(she 
opens her eyes)Oh, god, I'm not dreaming. I...we...did you know what, 
last night.(then she hears Brenda calling from downstairs)
Brenda:Jax, darling, I'm home.
