Because of the holidays I'll be offline until Saturday, so here's Friday's episode early: The Stone Cates Memorial Aids Wing: Sonny:Are you talking to me? Jax:I don't see any other two-faced lying cheat around here, do you? Sonny:Yeah, I'm looking at one. You were proven to be two-faced when you tried to takeover ELQ. And you were proven to be a liar when you never revealed to Brenda you were married before... Miranda(pipes in)And a cheat all those times you were measuring with your tongue how deep my throat went. Jax:I never messed around with a guy's wife in his own bed. Sonny:First off, Brenda isn't your wife and never has been. Secondly, I've never been in your bed. I don't know how many times I have to repeat that before a mental midget like yourself finally gets it. Jax:Then how did your wallet get into my bedroom? I'll tell you how. You were so anxious to get out of your pants, you didn't notice you dropped it. You picked a real winner, this time, Mirander. Sonny:I couldn't be any worse than you. At least I won't blow her up. If my wives get blown up, it's not from a bomb I ordered planted. I'll also make sure if she's really dead or not before I try to marry someone else. Jax:That's the past and I'm talking about the present.(he looks around the room)You're all here thinking little Saint Sonny is so wonderful for having this wing built, but you're overlooking the fact it was made possible by tainted money. Money made from drugs, prostitution and murder. Sonny:Is your money any cleaner? You're nothing but a jackal who preys on other people's companies. People build up their companies from the ground up and you circle above them like some big bleach blonde vulture just waiting for the first opportunity to pick their bones clean. And for the record, I made my money from gambling and money laundering, not drugs and prostitution. Jax:Oh, let's pin a medal on you. What I do isn't considered illegal. My money isn't considered dirty, like yours. Sonny:At least I give to charity for the right reason. I don't do it to make myself look good or to show someone else up. If you hadn't had those drug charges leveled against you you would have never funded the Nurses Ball and we both know it. Jax:It was all your fault Dorman set me up. Sonny:It's not my fault he thought you were the perfect patsy. Maybe he got that idea from the way you conduct your love life. Do you have any idea what a joke you are? First, you make a fool out of yourself chasing after Brenda and I when we were on the run, then the minute you learned I left Brenda at the altar, you went rushing back to her, breaking down her door, no less. Earth to Jax. Brenda dumped you. What guy with any pride or self-respect would go running back to a woman who dumped him for another man? Jax:The issue here isn't what I did, it's what you've done.(he waves the wallet in Sonny's face)And this is irrefutable proof. Come on, Sonny. Deny it's your wallet. I dare you. You could deny it was your hair I found in my comb, the cologne on my pillow belonged to you and that it was your underwear I found in my dresser drawer, but you can't deny this. Sonny:Would you listen to yourself. I didn't stay one step ahead of the cops by being stupid. And that's what I'd have to be to do the things you're accusing me of. Look, maybe I could forget my wallet, but my underwear? And why the hell would I put it in your dresser? Jax:Maybe you wanted to get caught. Sonny:Hello, I'm engaged to be married. Why would I want to get caught. Jax:Maybe Brenda refused to leave me, so you're hoping if I find out about you, I'll kick her to the curb and you'll be there waiting to pick her up. Sonny:Hey, Goldenboy, you're describing yourself, not me. You're the one whose always waiting at the curb to pick up my leftovers. I got news for you, Jaxboy. If I wanted Brenda, all I'd have to do is crook my little finger, and she'd dump you so fast your head would spin. But I don't want her. If Brenda's banging some guy in your bed, it aint me. Jax(lunges towards Sonny)I'll kill you for that.(Luke gets Jax in a headlock from behind and Jason stands between them) Sonny:(tries to shove past Jason)Luke, let him go. I'm not afraid of him. He may be big, but I can take him. Luke:Sonny, you're not a little kid taking on the school bully on the playground. You're an adult. Start acting like it. Sonny:Luke, ever since this Corporate Kangeroo hopped into this town, he's been getting in my face. I've taken more off him than I have anyone else. But he's gone too far this time. We're here to honor Stone and he ruined it. Brenda(whose been there for some time steps forward. Looking shrewdly at Miranda, she goes over to Sonny and wraps herself around him)Sonny, baby, it's time we told the truth. We can't keep it a secret any longer. Sonny(shoves her away from him)What the hell do you think you're doing? Jax:So it's true. I knew it. Brenda:Jax, darling, Sonny and I didn't want to hurt you and Miranda. We tried so hard to fight our feelings for each other. But it was just like that night in the catacombs. The passion we share was just too strong to resist. It all began with that kiss you saw us share in the hospital boardroom. Sonny:We didn't share a kiss. You kissed me and I pushed you away. Brenda:Can you deny you responded to the kiss?(she smirks as a guilty flush steals over Sonny's face)And after that we just could keep our hands off of each other. Sonny(seeing doubts beging to enter Miranda's eyes)Miranda, it's true I responded to her for a minute. But that was the beginning and the end of it. All the rest are lies.(He takes Miranda's face into his hands)Sweetheart, when I was married to Lily, Brenda got me to give into my feelings for her several times, but it never went any further than a kiss. Only one time did I come close to having sex with her and that's when we were trapped in a snowstorm and I thought I was going to die. But even then I didn't do it. And there's one big difference between you and Lily. I wasn't in love with Lily, and I am in love with you. Jax:Why don't you be a man, Corinthos, and admit it. Sonny(turns on him)Shut up, you idiot. Can't you see what she's just taking advantage of a situation you created. Stefan:What would she have to gain. She's destroying her own relationship with Mr. Jacks by admitting to this. Sonny(gives Brenda a knowing look)She's also ruining my relationship, as well. I know her. In her twisted mind, I'm sure she thinks if both our relationships are ruined, we'll end up getting back together. But it isn't going to happen. Jax:I know Brender and she would never do something like that. She's telling the truth. Sonny:Oh, you know nothing. You took one look at Brenda and you thought you knew everything there was to know about her. You took one look at me and thought you knew everything there was to know about me. That's what you do. In your insufferable arrogance, you think all you have to do is look at a person or their relationship and you know all there is to know about it and what you don't know isn't worth knowing. But the truth is you don't know squat. Stefan:I agree with Mr. Jacks. Miss Barrett is obviously telling the truth and Michael just isn't man enough to admit it. Not that I can't understand why. If he does, then he'll have to give up all chances of becoming a Cassadine. Sonny:Are you accusing me of being a fortune hunter? Stefan:As you americans say, "If the shoe fits, wear it." I'm sure becoming a member of one of the most wealthiest and most powerful families in the world is a dream come true for a Brookly peasant like yourself. You probably see it as your one chance to life yourself out of the gutter and become something finer. Sonny:Something finer? I hate to break it to you, Steve, but I consider becoming a Cassadine a step down. Stefan:How dare you! The Cassadines are descended from royal lineage. Sonny:You're also a pack of power-hungry maniacs. It amazes me you can walk around this town with your nose stuck up so far in the air it's a miracle you don't trip over your own feet. Your crazy old man tried to whack this entire town. Edward(to Ned and Alan)While Corinthos and Cassadine are going at it and diverting everyone's attention, you two get Jax out of here. Tracy(tugs on Luke's coat)I think they're making their move. Luke:Follow them. Ned:Come on, Jax, why don't we get you out of here. Jax:I'm not through with Corinthos. Alan, Jax, Jax, you're just sinking to his level. You're so much better than that. Jax:You're right, I am so much better than he is. He isn't fit to touch the hem of me pants. But, I'm not through with him, yet. I'm going to make him pay. No one does this to me and gets away with it.(Tracy watches as Ned, Alan and Jax get on the elevator) Tracy:Damn, now how am I supposed to follow them.(she rushes back to Luke)Luke, they got on the elevator. Luke:Let's go. Laura(stands in his path)I want to talk to you. Sonny told me something and it had better not be true if you know what's good for you. Stefan(turns to Miranda)Isabella, you see what he is. Thank god I stopped you from marrying him in time. Miranda:This changes nothing, Stefan. I love Sonny and I'm going to marry him. Stefan:Isabella, if he cheated on you before the wedding what do you think he'll do after? Miranda:Sonny didn't cheat on me. I believe him. Brenda's just making this up to cause trouble between us and for all I know you were in on it with her. Stefan:What are you suggesting? Sonny:A lot of my things have disappeared from my bedroom only to reappear in Jax's. I didn't put them there. Any idea who did? Stefan:How dare you! Luke:Get out of my way, woman, I haven't got time for this.(he and Tracy head for the elevator) Tracy:Where do you think they went? Luke:Let's try the underground parking garage.(they get on the elevator) The Underground Parking Garage: Ned(and Alan walk Jax to his car)It's going to be all right, Jax. Jax:What am I going to do if I lose me Brender, again.(Alan takes a hypodermic needle filled with a clear liquid out of his jacket pocket) Ned:Oh, I don't think you're going to have to worry about hat.(he gives Alan a signal and Alan jabs the needle into Jax's butt) Jax:Ow! Oh, me bum! Ned(catches him as he collapses)No, Jax, you're not going to have to worry about losing Brenda. You're going to have much bigger problems to worry about than that.
