Quartermaine Mansion:
Edward:Well, how did it go at Wyndemere?
Ned:I hit the mother lode.(he holds up a pillowcase full of things)
Edward:What is all that stuff?
Ned:(he starts unloading it)Sonny's cologne. Sonny's cuff-links. Sonny's 
underwear.
Edward:So he prefers boxers to briefs, does he?
Ned:I do myself. When old Speedo Boy is firing blanks and unable to rise 
to the occasion, I'll still be a red-hot stud.
Edward:(seeing Ned taking out something dark in a plastic sandwich 
bag)What is that?
Ned:Sonny's hair. I swiped it from Sonny's comb.
Edward:Why didn't you collect his toenail clippings while you were at 
it. You were sent to Wyndemere to collect one item of Sonny's that we 
could plant in Jax's bedroom, not clean out the whole room. Don't you 
think he's going to notice all that stuff missing?
Ned:Jax hasn't noticed his gun is missing, yet, has he?
Edward:Ned, Jax isn't exactly the brightest color in the box. Besides, 
the gun was probably just for show, anyway. I doubt he ever used it.
Ned:And Sonny lives in the castle of the damned. He probably expects 
weird stuff like this to happen all the time.
Edward:Why would you want Sonny's hair?
Ned:Grandfather, I had this brilliant idea. We're going to gaslight Jax. 
One time I'll put Sonny's hair in Jax's comb. The next I'll leave 
Sonny's cuff-links in Jax's bed. Then I'll leave Sonny's boxers in Jax's 
underwear drawer. And always there'll be the scent of Sonny's cologne on 
Jax's pillow. Until finally on the day of the opening ceremony, I'll 
leave something behind in Jax's bedroom that will give him conclusive 
proof Sonny's been a constant visitor to his bedroom and he'll go 
beserk.

Wyndemere:
Stefan:Alexis, I know you're a confidante to both Helena and I, but who 
are you most loyal to. If asked to choose, which one of us would you 
choose?
Alexis:I'm the gatekeeper, cousin. I'd choose what was in the best 
interest of the family.
Stefan:That certainly wouldn't be mother. You know how bad things were 
when she was in charge before.
Alexis:Things haven't been much better with you in charge. Ever since 
you became involved with Katherine Bell, you've lost your edge and you 
remain unfocused. To which of you, you or your mother, is the lesser of 
two evils, that remains to be seen.
Stefan:Mother claims this Venus Ardanowski is the real Natasha. I want 
you to find out everything there is to know about her.
Alexis:And if she is Natasha?
Stefan:I intend to convince her to move into Wyndemere and take her 
rightful place as a Cassadine.
Alexis:Stefan, if you bring Mikkos' by-blow into this family, Helena 
will have a fit.
Stefan(smirks)I know.

Luke's Club:
Luke(as Tracy enters)What are you doing here?
Tracy:My people stumbled upon some information that can help us dispose 
of my dim-witted nephew.(she takes out a cigar a lights it)Whoever heard 
of a brain damaged godfather, anyway.
Luke:(puffing on his cigar)And just what is this information?
Tracy:It seems Jason has a bodyguard working for him whose actually an 
undercover cop. Ever hear of Venus Ardanowski?
Luke(nods)Weird chick. Told me I wasn't a nice man. She took offense 
when I tripped Jax after I heard him bashing my man Sonny awhile back.
Tracy:I figure we could feed this V information she could feed back to 
Taggert and Garcia that would get Jason arrested and once he's in jail 
we can move in and take over his territory.
Luke:Do you know how close Starsky and Hutch are to nailing Jason?
Tracy:Right now they're watching Jason waiting for him to make a move on 
Jax.
Luke:Jax? What does he got to do with this?
Tracy:It seems Jax tried to run down Sonny. The police know how 
protective Jason is of Sonny and figure he'll try to take Jax out.
Luke:(smiles)Well, it looks like Sonny's going to help me take over the 
mob, after all.
Laura(enters)Luke...
Tracy:I guess I'll be leaving. Hello, Laura. We'll talk later, Luke.
Laura:Tracy.(Tracy exits)What was she doing here? She's a trouble-maker.
Luke:So you're back. Does that mean Leslie's finally cured? Or was that 
just a lie you fed to me to explain why you kept refusing to come back 
to Port Charles?
Laura:Sonny called me. I know you know about Stefan and me. Luke, you've 
got to let me explain.
Luke:What's to explain. You were the Cassadine family whore. Did you 
also service Victor, as well?
Laura:Luke, it wasn't like that. I thought you were dead. Stefan was 
kind to me. It was the only kindness I knew and I reached out for it. 
I'm human and all humans respond to kindness. We need some sort of 
kindness in our lives, otherwise living is unbearable. And as I recall 
you were hardly chaste, yourself.
Luke:I didn't cuddle up to a Cassadine.
Laura:No, you were warming the sheets with a con artist who swindled 
this town out of a million dollars and whose cousin stabbed Dan Rooney 
and let you be blamed for it. You're in no position to judge me.
Luke:I never kept it a secret from you.
Laura:Look at the way you're acting. Can you blame me?
Luke:Why did you really decide to take Leslie to Switzerland in the 
first place?
Laura(looks away from him)Stefan threatened to tell you about us unless 
I left town. He said he'd tell you he was Nikolas' father. I knew you've 
never really accepted the reality of my life as a Cassadine. You've 
convinced yourself I was an unwilling victim. That whenever I was with 
Stavros it was against my will. I knew if Stefan told you about us and 
you learned he was Nikolas' father, you'd be forced to face the way 
things really were and I was afraid I'd lose you. Luke, I love you. I 
couldn't stand it if I lost you.
Luke:Well, darlin, it looks like the last laugh is on you. You see, the 
Bat isn't the brats father. I am.
Laura:No, that's impossible.
Luke:Don't you know nothings impossible in the world of the Cassadines.
