The Docks, Sean's Limo: Sonny:What are you trying to pull, Donely. Everyone knows the Scorpios are dead. Robin even said the WSB had photos to prove it. Sean:They were faked. The bureau couldn't allow anyone to know what really happened. Sonny:Which was? Sean:A ship, we later learned belonged to the Cassadines, fished Robert and Anna out of the ocean. The bureau pursued the yacht, but it got away. That was the last we ever saw of Robert and Anna. Sonny:Why would the Cassadines be out to get the Scorpios? Sean:Robert was involved with the ice princess caper and we believe they want revenge. Now that you know will you work for us. Will you get close to Stefan Cassadine and help us find where they're keeping Robert and Anna? Will you help bring Robin's parents home to her. Sonny:You always know where to slip the knife, don't you. Yeah, I'll do it. Wyndemere: Bobbie:All right, Stefan, we're alone now. Tell me what you're up to. Why have you brought Virginia Benson here? Stefan:Where is she? Bobbie:She's freshening up. She'll be down in a few minutes. You didn't answer my question. Stefan:You said you were friends with her. Bobbie:I haven't spoken to her since Luke told me she was mentally ill. Caroline died in a car accident when she was 16, but Virginia still talks about her as if she were still alive. Stefan:Amazing. You spend time with the woman and you never realize she isn't right in the head. But Luke spends a few minutes with her and he realizes there's something off about her. Maybe your brother should join the staff at the hospital as a psychiatrist. Bobbie:I don't know what sick and twisted plan you're hatching, now, but I won't have you using that poor confused woman to do it. Virgina(enters)Mr. Cassadine, your house is very interesting. Bobbie:That's a nice way of putting it. I always feel like I'm living in a horror movie, myself. Stefan:And I'm her own personal Dracula. What can I get you, Mrs. Benson? Virginia:Whatever you're having will be fine. Stefan(hands her a drink)Barbara was telling me you and your daughter have a strained relationship. Have you heard from her, lately? Bobbie:(shoots him a dirty look)Stefan, I'm warning you. Virginia:It's all right, Bobbie. Actually, she visited me recently. She told me she's involved with a wonderful man. Nikolas(enters)I thought we were supposed to eat at eight. Stefan:We're waiting for the Spencers to arrive. Bobbie:Luke's coming to dinner, too? Stefan:Didn't I tell you it would be a night of surprises? Nikolas:I'm not suprised their late. Lucky's probably still standing in front of the mirror practicing his sneer. Mrs. Lansbury:Mr Spencer and his son. Luke(and Lucky enter)Hey, baby sister. Rube wanted to come, but that little twit Lizzie didn't show up for work, again. Bobbie:Frankly, I'm surprised you'd come, at all. Luke:It's your birthday. We wouldn't think of missing it, would we, Lucky. Besides, how could I turn down the Bat's personal invite. Lucky:No, we wouldn't dream of it, Aunt Bobbie. Stefan(looks at Luke the way a cat would a mouse. Then he steps aside to reveal Virginia standing behind him)Spencer, I believe you know Mrs. Benson. Luke(pales)Yes, we've bet. Virginia(smiles)Luke paid me a visit awhile back. Luke:Mrs. Benson, what are you doing here? Virginia:Mr. Cassadine brought me here to surprise Bobbie for her birthday. Stefan:Shall we all go into dinner?(they head into the dining room and take their places at the table. Mrs. Lansbury begins to serve the first course) Lucky(to Luke)Do you think it's safe to eat.(Luke doesn't answer. He and Stefan are trying to outstare each other) Stefan(smirking at Luke)Mrs. Benson, before Mr. Spencer arrived, you were telling Barbara and I your daughter was involved with a really wonderful man. Please tell us more.(Luke starts to cough) Virginia:Yes, he's a doctor. A neurosurgeon.(Luke starts coughing louder) Stefan(raises his voice to be heard over the noise)What's his name. Virginia(raises her voice too)Caroline never told me. Stefan:Spencer, for god's sake, take a drink of water or something. You sound like you've got the whooping cough. Luke:Excuse me, can I help if I had a tickly in my throat. It's not like I was doing it on purpose. Bobbie:You know, Luke, if you're coughing like that, you should really consider giving up those cigars. The Docks, Sean's Limo: Sonny:Now that you've gotten what you wanted, there's somthing I want in return. Sean:Name it. Sonny:It's about the woman I'm engaged to. Until tonight, I thought her name was Madeline James. Now I know her name is Miranda Jameson, a woman I knew before and who had her fact surgicaly altered since I last saw her. But that's not her real name, either. I want to know what it is. Sean:You sure can pick em. Sonny:Keep your comments to yourself, Donely. Can you find out her real identity or not? Sean:It may take awhile, but I'll find out. Tell me everything you know about her. Wyndemere: Stefan(smirking at Luke)Lies are a funny thing, don't you think. If you tell one, but don't let the person it involves in on it, that person could easily reveal it without even knowing, don't you think, Spencer? Luke:You'd be the expert on lies, Cassadine. Since that's all that ever comes out of your mouth. Virginia:Bobbie, I'm confused abaout something. The last time I saw you wasn't your last name Jones? Bobbie:Yes, I was Mrs. Tony Jones, until this lying slut ingratiated her way into my life and seduced my husband. Stefan:Yes, it was an awful time for Barbara. She walked in on them and discovered them in bed together. Luke(to Lucky)Pick a fight with the little bastard. Lucky:What? Luke:You heard me. Just do it. Lucky:Why? Luke:Because I'm your father, that's why. Bobbie:Now the little tramp is pregnant and she and Tony are getting married. But the one I really feel sorry for is that innocent baby. I shudder when I think of the kind of mother Ca--(Lucky cuts her off) Lucky:Hey, Nikolas, I'm surprised you're not out with Sarah, tonight. What's the matter? Did she finally see you for what you are? Bobbie:Lucky! Nikolas:It's all right, Bobbie. He's just showing how truly pathetic he is. He's the joke around school. Everytime Sarah walks in the room his mouth falls open and his tongue hangs out. Lucky:Why you... Virginia:Your family really doesn't get along, does it. I thought it was otherwise after the visit I got from your brother. He seemed really close to you. Bobbie:Luke and I are close. It's just the Cassadines and Spencers are like the Hatfield and McCoys. To complicate matters, Nikolas and Lucky are half-brothers interested in the same girl. Just ignore them. Virginia:I hope what I told Luke about Caroline didn't give you the wrong idea aboaut her. It might make you think she was mentally unbalanced, but she's really not. Luke(to Lucky)Throw something at him. Lucky:Who? Luke:Nikolas. Throw some food at him. Fling some mashed potatoes in his face. I want this dinner party broken up, pronto. Virginia:You have to understand. The car accident effected her deeply. She was really very close to her best friend. No only to this day does Caroline refuse to drive, but she started going by her friends name, pretending she was her. I think it was Caroline's way of pretending Carly was still alive. Bobbie:Carly? Virginia:What's the matter? Bobbie:Carly happens to be the name of the little tramp that broke up my marriage. It must be a coincidence. What was this Carly's last name. Luke(to Lucky)Do in now! Virginia:Roberts. Carly Roberts. Mrs. Lansbury:Mr. Cassadine, Carly Roberts to see you, sir.(Carly enters and all eyes train on her) Virginia:Caroline! Bobbie(shaking her head in denial)It can't be her. Not her. Anybody but her.
