Wyndemere:
Alexis:Aunt Helena, calm down. 
Helena:Calm down! Calm down! How am I supposed to calm down when that 
little slut bared herself to Nikolas.
Alexis:Maybe it wasn't the way it looked. 
Helena:Taht tramp purposely revealed herself to an impressionable 
teenager. How else can it look. What I want to know is if she's doing 
this on her own or if someone put her up to it.
Alexis:Who?
Helena:Who else? Her Uncle Luke. This is just like something Luke would 
do.
Alexis:He hates Nikolas enough to set her up to it, that's true. And 
this wouldn't be the first time they were co-consipirators. They worked 
together to keep Bobbie from learning Carly was her daughter. But how 
can we know for sure.
Helena:It really doesn't matter. What does is getting Luke to call her 
off.
Alexis:Why would he do that.
Helena:Let's just say I can be very pursuasive when I have to be.

Port Charles Hotel Bar:
Alan:Why do I have to do it.
Ned:Because Grandfather and I already approached the topic with him and 
if I bring it up agains he might get suspicious.
Alan:Oh, all right. (he walks over to where Jax is sitting)Hi, Jax, may 
I sit down?
Jax:Me my guest.
Alan:I must say I really envy you.
Jax:Most people do.
Alan:You man not know this about me, but I have this insane jealousy 
streak. If Monica were serving on a committee with her ex-lover, I'd be 
going crazy. But not you. Look at you. You're as cool as a cucumber 
eventhough Brenda is going to be working closely with the man she dumped 
you for. I really do admire you.
Jax:What are you talking about?
Alan:Surely you know Sonny and Brenda are working together on the 
committee planning the opening ceremony of the Stone Cates Memorial 
Wing, don't you. I was sure Brenda would have told you.
Jax:Would you excuse me. I gotta go.
Ned(comes over after Jax exits)Good work, Alan. I bet he's on his way to 
the hospital to check out that committee meeting as we speak.

General Hospital Boardroom:
Stefan:I think that covers everything. This meeting is adjourned. I'll 
see you at home, Michael. Come, Alexis.(Stefan and Alexis exit, leaving 
Sonny and Brenda alone)
Sonny:I didn't know you'd be part of the committee.
Brenda:Stone meant a great deal to me.
Sonny:Not enough for you to remember the first anniversary of his death.
Brenda:Can't you ever let anything go.
Sonny:I've let you go.
Brenda:So you say. Sonny, how many times have you tried to marry 
Miranda, only for something to stop it. Maybe someone's trying to tell 
you something. Like you and Miranda don't belong together.
Sonny:Miranda and I would be married if people like you would just leave 
us alone.
Brenda:I know you still burn for me. That what you have with Miranda 
can't compare to what you had with me. And I can prove it.(She grabs him 
by the lapels of his jacket and kisses him. A few seonds later Jax 
enters, then storms off away after getting a good eye full)
Sonny(shoves her away from him)Look, we have to work together on this 
committee for Stone, but that's where it begins and ends. I'm going to 
marry Miranda so there is nothing nor will there ever be anything 
between us again.
Brenda:I felt you respond to my kiss. I know I can still make you burn.
Sonny(explodes)All right, you can make me burn, but Miranda takes my 
breath away. Yeah, we were great in bed together. We know how to turn 
each other one. The sex is the best either of us has ever had. We can 
make each other burn. But what I have with Miranda is so much more. 
We're good in and out of bed. She knows and understands me. If I'd have 
done to Miranda what I did to you, she wouldn't have believed the lies I 
had Jason tell you. She also wouldn't have made up lies about me hitting 
her.(with that he storms out)

Wyndemere:
Miranda:Mrs. Lansbury said you wanted to see me.
Jax:I thought you should know what your future husband is up to. I just 
saw him kissing Brender.
Miranda;Are you sure it wasn't the other way around. That it wasn't 
Brenda kissing Sonny?
Jax:Don't be ridiculous. I came to give you a warning. If you don't keep 
Sonny away from Brender, I'm going to destroy him.
Miranda:Yeah, yeah, yeah, you've said that before. You should make a 
video tape of that and when you want to threaten Sonny you could just 
Federal Express a copy of it over to him. He'd pay about as much 
attention to it as he does to you.
Jax:You shouldn't make light of my threats.
Miranda:Just how do you intend to destroy Sonny? He's not in the mob 
anymore, so you can't try to send him to prison. He doesn't own a 
company so you can't try to take it over. So how are you going to 
destroy Sonny? Will you get your daddy the terror of the tundra to smash 
Sonny's fingers?
Jax;You just give Sonny my message. Tell him to stay away from Brender 
or I'll make him sorry.

Luke's Club:
Luke:Darlin, you flatter me. I've never had a broad rent out a whole 
restaurant just so they could have yours truly all to theirself.
Helena:I didn't want anyone to hear what I have to say to you, Luke, 
dahling.
Luke:Now you're intriguing me. What's this all about?
Helena:You didn't seemed surprised to see me here.
Luke:News travels fast. A little birdy whispered in my ear that you were 
back in town.
Helena:That little birdd wouldn't be called Carly, would it?
Luke:So you've met my niece. What do you think of her?
Helena:She's a lovely girl and so friendly. I could see that when she 
exposed herself to Nikolas.
Luke:That's Carly, all right. Real friendly.
Helena:I'd appreciate it if you'd use whatever influence you have over 
her to convince her to keep her treasures to herself. Nikolas is an 
impressionable teenager and might get the wrong idea from her displaying 
herself the way she did.
Luke:And why would I want to do that? If you're so concerned abaout the 
little bastard, why don't you take him back to Greece so he won't be 
exposed to my exhibitionist niece.
Helena:Luke, dahling, let me tell you a little story. You remember when 
you had that fight with that Holly Sutton creature, went up to the 
mountains and got hit by that avalance? Do you recall one of your 
doctors extracting some sperm from you? Well, he was working for me. You 
see, Luke, dahling, the little bastard is your little bastard. Now do 
you see why you must keep your niece away from him?
Luke(laughing)That's a good one, darlin.
Helena:It's true, Luke.
Luke:Why would you do something, like that. And if there's any chance 
that the kid was mine, don't you think Laura would tell me.
Helena:There's a lot Laura hasn't told you. Besides, she's unaware of 
what was done. Stavros and I had the procedure done during one of her 
gynecological exams.
Luke:And why would you do that?
Helena:It amused us to do so and besides, Stavros wanted to pay Stefan 
back for betraying him by sleeping with Laura.
Luke:That's a lie. Laura never slept with, Vlad. She wouldn't let him 
touch her with a ten foot pole. The only way any Cassadine was ever able 
to touch Laura was by force.
Helena:Poor Luke, how little you know the woman you married. If you 
don't believe me(she takes out a video tape)perhaps this will convince 
you.
Luke:(takes if from her)What's this supposed to be.
Helena:You remember how Mikkos loved to spy on people. The whole island 
compound in Greece is wired with hidden cameras. Something Stefan is 
still ignorant of to this day. Laura and Stefan's liason was caught on 
tape. That tape to be precise. Are you ready to hear the rest?
Luke:I'm listening.
Helena:Because of a particularly bad case of the mumps as a child, 
Stavros was left sterile. When I showed that tape to Stavros he was 
infuriated. Aall he could think of was if Laura got pregnant by Stefan 
and if he wasn't aware he was sterile, he could raise a child he 
believed to be his own, but secretly was his brother's. And he wanted 
Stefan to know what that was like. We knew if Laura became pregnant, 
Stefan would believe he was the father. So we had Laura seen by a doctor 
to make sure she wasn't pregnant by Stefan, which she wasn't, than he 
had her artificially inseminated with your sperm. It's really very 
funny. The boy Stefan thinks is his son and loves is really yours. Now 
do you see why you must get Miss Roberts to cease her attentions to 
Nikolas? Even you wouldn't want your son and niece committing incest.

Wyndemere:
Sonny(enters and pulls Miranda into his arms)Hi, sweetheart, I missed 
you.(he gives her a long lingering kiss)I had this wonderful idea on the 
way home. I thought Mrs. Lansbury could pack us up a picnic basket and 
we could have a moonlight picnic and maybe afterwards we could go 
skinnydipping. What do you say?
Miranda(pushes away from him)Jax paid me a visit while you were gone.
Sonny:What did he want?
Miranda;He told me he saw you and Brenda kissing. Is that true? Were you 
kissing her?
Sonny:She kissed me and it meant absolutely nothing to me. It's over 
between us.
Miranda:Are you sure.
Sonny:If I haven't made this clear before, let me do it now. When I left 
this town, I let her go for good and I don't want her back. When Brenda 
and I first met we were sexually attracted to each other and that 
attraction turned into love. But with you it was so different. When I 
met you it was like I got struck by a bolt of lightning. I was laying in 
my hospital bed feeling like I had nothing to live for when you walked 
into the room and took my breath away.(he holds her face in his hands)I 
love you and only you. You're the only one I want.
Miranda:You always leave me breathless, too, baby. And when you give me 
one of those hot, smoldering looks, like you're doing now, I feel like 
I'm going to melt into a puddle at your feet.(they kiss)I'm sorry I 
doubted you for a moment.
Sonny:It's all right. You're allowed. Have all your doubts been put to 
rest?(she nods)Then what aboaut that picnic and moonlight swim?
Miranda:You go get the picnic basket and I'll go get the blanket.

Nikolas' Room:
Nikolas(answers the door to Carly whose wearing a very short 
nightie)Carly.(he begins to blush)
Carly:Nikolas, I had to come and see you. I had to make sure everything 
was all right between us. I really hope I didn't make you uncomfortable 
by the pool. Maybe I should have warned you I didn't have any clothes 
on. 
Nikolas:No, you didn't embarrass me. You're not the first woman I've 
seen naked.
Carly:Good, I wouldn't want to ever do anything to make you 
uncomfortable. I like you Nikolas and I want us to be best friends. I 
don't have many friends and I want you to be one of them.(she hugs him a 
little too long and kissed him on the cheek) I'm glad everything is all 
right between us. Goodnight, Nikolas, and pleasant dreams. Let me know 
when you want to go swimming with me. I promise you'll enjoy it.

Luke's House:
Luke(finishes watching the tape of Laura and Stefan making love, then he 
picks up the phone)Hello, Tracy, it's me Luke. You said you wanted us to 
team-up to take control of the mob away from Jason?
Tracy:Yes, but you turned me down. Have you changed your mind?
Luke:Yes, but I have a few conditions. When we succeed, the Morgan and 
Solieto mobs will be joined together as one big organization, but I want 
total control of the Morgan mob.
Tracy:I can live with that as long as I get half of your profits. What 
suddenly changed your mind.
Luke:I need to be in a position of power so I can destroy someone.(he 
rewinds the tape and watches Laura and Stefan making love again)
