Luke's House: Luke(watches as Lucky schleps down the stairs)Why aren't you dressed? Lucky:I'm not going. Luke:It's your aunt's birthday. Lucky:So? I'm not going to sit at the same table as a Cassadine. Luke:Oh, really? I'd like to ask you a few questions. Lucky:Shoot. Luke:Who pays the mortgage on the house? Lucky:You. Luke:Who pays the utilities? Lucky:You. Luke:Who paid for the clothes on your back? Lucky:You. Luke:And for the food you put in your mouth? Lucky:You. Luke:Do you have a job? Lucky:No. Luke:Well, when you start supporting yourself and paying all the bills, then you'll be the boss. But until then, I call the shots. And if I say you're going, you're going. Lucky:You can't talk to me like this. Luke:Guess what? I just did. Miranda's Hotel Room: Miranda(hears a pounding at her door(Gee, I wonder who that could be?(she opens the door to Jax)What took you so long. Jax:I should have known it was you at the hospital calling me leftovers. Miranda:If it looks like a half-eaten turkey, it usually is. Jax:I told you to leave town. Miranda:Tell me, Jax, who died and left you boss? You don't own Port Charles. You don't even own the place you live in. I have more friends in this town, than you do. If anyone should leave, it should be you. Jax:You're telling me to leave town? Miranda:As a matter of fact, yes. There's nothing keeping you here. There's no reason for you to even stay. You have no friends. If you were to fall through an open manhold, I doubt anyone would even notice you were gone. So why don't you take your Jacks Cosmetics bimbo and leave town. Jax:Nobody orders me out of town, least of all you. Miranda:But it's all right for you to order me to leave, right? Jax:I could have you arrested for what you did to Brender. Miranda:I wouldn't push it, Jax, or you're the one who could end up behind bars. Jax:What is that supposed to mean. Miranda:I'm no longer enamoured of your charms. You push me too far and I'll have you arrested for attempted murder. You and your father, both. Jax:Attempted murder? Miranda:You never did ask me why I was in the mine when it exploded. I think maybe it's time I finally told you. You see, your father told me you wanted me to meet you there. I assumed he knew about the bomb you had planted and thought it was the perfect was of getting one unwanted bride out of his angelboy Jax's life. A jury might even think you and your father were working together to get rid of me. Jax;You're lying. Miranda:Amazing. You know what a slime your old man is, but you still insist on believing he's the greatest. Just like you know you're only Brenda's consolation prize, yet you think of yourself as her first choice. Jax:You could never make the charges stick. Miranda:You think not. Mac knows you hired him to plant the bomb. I'm sure if I asked him he'd agree to testify against you. And I wouldn't try copping that "I'm Jax" attitude with the jury. They'll laugh in your face after I tell you how I was paralyzed and disfigured because of you. Jax:You bitch! Miranda:Cheer up, Jax, prison won't be so bad. I'm sure you'll be very popular. I just wouldn't bend over in the showers if you drop your soap. Actually, prison would be nothing compared to what my family would do to you if they ever find out how you've treated me. Jax:You're family? Miranda:Yes, they're even worse than yours. When my mother and brother get through with you there won't be enough left of you to scrape off the ground. Jax:You and Corinthos deserve each other. You're two of a kind. Miranda:That's what Sonny says. And if that's the case you should tread very carefully around me, since you've never been able to get the best of Sonny. Jax:Mirander, I'm warning you. If you mess with me or Brender, I'll destroy you. Miranda:No, Jax, I'm the one who'll destroy you, if you mess with me. I'm the one with all the power. I think it's time you faced facts. Your just a little fish in a small pond. Taking over companies is the only power you have. You have no power to destroy anyone, other than yourself.(she goes over to the door and opens it)Now, I think you should leave. Jax:This isn't over. Miranda:Jax, if you want to hang on to your midget supermodel, you'd better leave town. When I was at Mike's apartment, I answered the phone but whoever was on the other end wouldn't answer when they heard my voice. I'd be money it was Brenda. As long as she and Sonny are in the same town, she's not going to leave him alone. PCPD: Garcia:Ardanowski, what are you doing here? You could be jeopardizing your cover. V:It's an emergency, sir. Garcia:It better be. V:Sir, someone tried to run down Sonny Corinthos, earlier, this evening. From the license plate, I think it was Mr. Jacks. Garcia:I wouldn't be surprised. Jax is always threatening to kill him. V:But it gets worse, sir. Mr. Morgan has vowed to make the person responsible pay and I'm afraid he's going to kill Mr. Jacks when he learns he's responsible. Garcia:What do you want me to do about it? As long at the incident hasn't been reported to the police, my hands our tied. V:Sir, if you arrest Mr. Jacks, he'll be safe from Mr. Morgan. Garcia:Ardanowski, if Morgan wants him, he can get him in jail. Maybe this is how we can nail Morgan. We'll use Jax as a decoy and when Morgan makes a move on him, we'll have him dead to rights. Wyndemere: Stefan(enters and sees Bobbie coming down the stairs)Ah, Barbara, perfect timing. I have a surprise for you.(he opens the door wider and Virginia Bension walks in) Bobbie:Virginia, what are you doing here? Virginia:Your husband called me and asked me to come for your birthday. Bobbie:What a surprise. Stefan:Just one of many; this night holds for you, Barbara. Why don't you show Mrs. Benson up to her room, while I go over tonights dinner menu with Mrs. Lansbury(after giving him a suspicious look, Bobbie leads Virginia upstairs) Mrs. Lansbury:Yes, Mr. Cassadine. Stefan:I have everything timed down to the minute. We'll sit down to dinner at eight, which should give me an house to watch Spencer squirm, as he tries to choke down his meal wondering if Mrs. Benson will let something slip about his lies. Then at nine, Miss Roberts will arrive and I want you to bring her straight to the dining room. Mrs. Lansbury:Yes, Mr. Cassadine. The Docks: Sonny(is walking along the dock when a limo suddenly pulls up in front of him and the back door swings open)You nearly scared me to death. Sean:Get in. Sonny(slams the door behind him)This is the same way I used to meet with my father-in-law. Did anyone ever tell you you'd make a great don, Donely. Sean:Very funny, Sonny. Look, we have to finish our conversation. Sonny:It's already finished. I won't spy on Cassadine for you. Sean:I think you'll change you mind after you hear what I have to say. Sonny:Nothing you say will change my mind. Sean:It concerns Robin. Ah, I see I've got your attention. Sonny:What about Robin? Sean:We have reason to believe Robin's parent's are alive and being kept prisoner by the Cassadines. We need you to find out where they're keeping Robert and Anna.
