General Hospital:
Stefan(walking donw the hall)Katherine, my Katherine. Oh, how I long for you. How I crave you like a chocoholic craves a Hershey's kiss.(he hears Luke and Bobbie laughing and stops to listen)
Luke:I tell you, Barbara Jean, everytime I see the Mortician I hae to bite my tongue not to tell him it was me who set his stables on fire. It was me who ruined his plan to rule the world.
Bobbie:I know what you mean, big brother. When he was getting so self-righteous and throwing my clothes at me, I wanted to tell him I knew he caused the blackout at the hospital and almost killed Audrey. But instead I had to pretend I was trying to get into that box because of(she sticks a finger in her mouth a makes a gagging noise)Katherine Bell. But it's for the best. If he ever found out we made a fool out of him, I don't know what he'd do.
Stefan:I am Stefan Cassadine and nobody makes a fool out of me. They're going to pay for this.(all thoughts of Kata are blotted from his mind)
Jax's Penthouse:
Jax:Oh, Venus, this is the happiest day of me life. Brender has finally realized all she ever felt for Corinthos is lust and what she feels for me is true love.
V:Yes, Mr. Jacks.
Jax:Did you have every florist in town send me Brender every rose they had in the store.
V:Yes, Mr. Jacks.
Jax:And did you have the jewelers send Brender the diamond tiara with her name spelled out across it in diamonds, rubies, emeralds and sapphires?
V:Yes, Mr. Jacks. There's one more thing, Mr. Jacks.
Jax:Yes, Venus.
V:Take this job and shove it, Mr. Jacks.
Jax:Venus, I don't understand.
V:I kept hoping you'd have enough pride not to want to be second best to Sonny Corinthos for the rest of your life. But apparently, you enjoy being the consolation prize. You're such a fool you've even convinced yourself all Miss Barrett ever felt for Mr. Corinthos was lust. When your at the altar, you'd better pray real hard Sonny Corinthos doesn't ever come back. Because she dumped you for him once and she'll do it again. Have a nice life, Mr. Jacks. I've got myself a job at the PCPD.
Jax:You're wrong, Venus. As soon as me Brender gets here we're going to be married and start our perfect life together.(V rolls her eyes as she leaves)
All Saints Church, New Orleans:
Brenda(sitting at the back of the church, flashes back on the conversation she heard earlier between Luke and Jason)
Jason:Remember, Luke, not to slip and call Sonny "Sonny" in front of Madeline.
Luke:Junior, I was doing this before you were an embryo in your mother's belly. Don't worry.
Jason:I just don't want anything to go wrong I think Madeline could be Sonny's last chance at happiness. If Madeline discovered the man she knows as Michael Corelli is reall Sonny Corinthos, mob boss, I'm not so sure she'd go through with the marriage. I don't want the fiasco that happened at Sonny's last wedding to happen at this one.
Brenda:Oh, Sonny, I'm going to make sure your wedding comes off as snoothly as ours did. You're gonna pay for what you did to me.
The Church Vestry:
Sonny(looking at his reflection in the mirror)There's nothing wrong with me. I'm fine.(he flashes back to himself laying in a hospital bed)Why am I here? What's wrong with me?
Dr. McBride:Michael, I don't know how to break this to you, but to just say it. You have what is commonly known as manic depression.
Sonny:Manic depression? Isn't that what Margot Kidder has? I remember hearing how she thought some man was after her, how she cut off all her hair and disappeared for three days. When they found her, she was cowering in the bushes. You're trying to tell me I've got that! That there's something wrong with my mind. That's I'm mentally ill.
Dr. McBride:Michael, I know this is a shock. But by taking lithium and monitoring your blood level it can be controlled.
Sonny:You're wrong. There's nothing wrong with me.
Dr. McBride:Michael, there's no telling how long you've suffered from this condition. You need...
Sonny:I don't want to hear it. You listen to me and listen good. There's nothing wrong with me.
Jason(enters)Sonny, the wedding's starting. Are you all right?
Sonny:I'm fine, and it's Michael, remember.
The Brownstone:
Bobbie:(screams when she turns on the light and finds Stefan waiting for her)What are you doing here?
Stefan:Barbara, I've been waiting for you. I came here to tell you something. I forgive you.
Bobbie:For what?
Stefan:For trying to poison me. I think we were hasty to divorce and I've decided we should remarry.
Bobbie:(laughing)Are you nuts? You don't think i'd be stupid enough to remarry you, do you?
Stefan:You will if you don't want me to destroy your brother.
Bobbie:There's nothing you can do to Luke.
Stefan:Oh, no. I can tell him Nikolas is my son.
Bobbie:That's a lie. Stavros is his father.
Stefan;You want me to prove it?(he walkds over to the phone and motions for Bobbie to listen on the extension)Hello, Lasha.
Laura:Stefan, what do you want?
Stefan:Lasha, I've been thinking. Maybe I was too harsh forcing you to leave town by threatening to tell Luke I was Nikolas' father.
Laura:What kind of game are you trying to play with me.
Stefan:No game. I've decided to lete you come home.(he hangs up the phone and smirks at Bobbie)Well, Barbara, what do you think Luke would do if I let him in on our little secret?(he lets that sink in, then moves in for the kill)If you don't remarry me, I'll tell Luke everything. Be at Wyndemere, tonight, by eight.
Bobbie:If Nikolas ever finds out he'll hate you.
Stefan:Nikolas has forgiven me before, he will again. But will Luke ever forgive Laura?(he smugly walks out the door)
All Saints Church:
Minister:Michael and Madeline have come to be joined in holy-wedded matrimony. If anyone knows why they shouldn't be joined, let them speak now or forever hold their peace.
Brenda(stands up)I know of a reason.(everyone turns to her)
Luke:What is she doing here?
Madeline(played by Amy Van Horne)Michael, who is that woman?
Brenda:Yes, Michael, tell her who I am. I'm the woman he left standing at the altar. Tell me, have you ever heard of Sonny Corinthos?
Madeline:You mean the gangster? Why?
Brenda:That's who you're about to marry.
Madeline(looks at Sonny and laughs)Michael, a gangster? Michael's an accountant.
(at the back of the church two gun men burst through the door and begin firing. Everyone dives for cover)
Reese Davis:Thank you, Miss Barrett. We knew if we watched you long enough, you'd lead us right to Mr. Corinthos.(he exits with his gun men)
Luke(rushes to Sonny and turns him over. Blood is gushing from his chest)Call an ambulance. Call 911. Sonny, hang on.
Jason(with murder in his eyes goes after Brenda)You came here to pay Sonny back, didn't you. Well, I think there's something you should know. I lied to you about why Sonny didn't show up at the church. There was a contract out on his life and he wanted to protect you. That's why he didn't marry you. That's a laugh, isn't it. Why it's Sonny who needs protecting from you.(he grabs her by the throat)You'd better pray Sonny lives. Because if he dies(he shoves her away from him)you die!
