Jax's Penthouse:
Brenda:Jax, I don't know why we couldn't have talked at the hospital.
Jax:You know Corinthos is going to be fine. There was no need for you to hang around.
Brenda:It's my fault Sonny got shot. I lead those hitmen right to him.
Jax:Then maybe you should have remembered we were supposed to get married, today.
Brenda:When I heard Luke and Jason talking about Sonny getting married everything else just flew right out of my mind. All I could think of was what he did to me and I was determined to pay him back.
Jax:Oh, that's so flattering. At the thought of Sonny getting married all thoughts of marrying me just flew right out of your mind. Thank you so much.
Wyndemere:
Alexis:All right, cousin, were alone now. Why did you remarry Bobbie?
Stefan:It served several purposes. It'll drive Spencer insane for me to have his sister back in my clutches. Because of his interference Nikolas was cheated out of the power I intended to bestow on him. Marrying Barbara is just the beginning of what I have planned for Spenceer. There was also the matter of Katherine.
Alexis:Katherine?
Stefan:She refuses to believe I want her out of my life. Now she will. It was either marry Barbara or tell Katherine she's my half-sister, Natasha. And we both agree that's not an option. No one but us must even know Katherine is Natasha. If Helena ever suspected Natasha lives, she'd kill Katherine.
Alexis:But to marry Bobbie Spencere. Are you forgetting the woman tried to poison you. That she was Luke Spencer's spy. Cousin as long as she remains in this family, she's going to be his eyes and ears. Everything we say and do will get back to him.
Stefan:Then I'll just have to destroy Barbara's relationship with him, won't I?
Alexis:Just how do you intend to do that?
Stefan:You know me, Alexis. I always find a way.
Luke's Club:
Jason(watches as V comes through the door)I understand you're looking for a job Ms. Ardanowski. I thought you worked for Jax.
V:I did until he fired me. Now that he and Miss Barrett are getting married, he doesn't want me around, anymore. Mr. Morgan, I really need a job. I'm willing to do anything.
Jason:Well, I've been where you are at the moment. Can you wait tables.
V:Before going to work for Mr. Jacks, I waited table for Mac Scorpio at the Outback.
Jason:Fine. Be here tomorrow before opening time.
V:Thank you, sir.(as she exits, Reese enters)
Jason:Well, Reese, I see you're still breathing.
Reese:You proved your point, Mr. Morgan. We underestimated you.
Jason:With the exception of Sonny, most people do. What do you want?
Reese:A truce. You leave us alone, we'll leave Corinthos alone.
Jason:Done. But be warned. If one hair on Sonny's head is harmed in the future, you won't be able to run far enough to escape me.
Stefan's Bedroom:
Kat(slips in the room and smiles as she hears the shower running)Stefan, I don't know why you've been lying to me about only pretending to love me, but tonight were finally going to consummate our eternal love.(she removes all her clothes and slips between the sheets of the bed. As the shower turns off, she wears her trademark smirk)Oh, Stefahn.(her face falls when Bobbie, wearing a nightgown, comes out of the bathroom)
Bobbie:You!
Kat:What are you doing here?
Bobbie:I was just about to ask you the same thing.
Kat:Bobbie, I can't believe you. Stefan dumped you for me. Where's your pride. You're not going to get him back by this pathetic attempt at seduction.
Bobbie:Excuse me, I'm not the one wrapped in the sheet. Stefan obviously didn't tell you, did he? Why am I not surprised.
Kat:Tell me what?
Bobbie:You know, I'd almost feel sorry for you if you hadn't been so smug when Stefan and I broke up. You even suggested I see a psychiatrist. I tried to warn you about him, but would you listen? No!
Kat:Bobbie, I suggest you leave before Stefan finds you here and just maybe you'll be able to salvage some of your pride.
Bobbie(goes to the closet and throws open the door)See all those clothes hanging there? They're mine. Stefan aleady knows I'm here. Stefan, remarried me, tonight.
Kat:You're lying. Why would Stefan do that. He loves me. I know he does.
Bobbie:I don't know. Maybe he got tired of you staring at him. Speaking as one whose had to watch it, it does get sickening after awhile. Who knows? Why does Stefan do what Stefan does.
Stefan(enters wearing a robe and carrying a bottle of champagne)Barbara! Katherine!
Kat:Oh, Stefan, thank goodness you're here. Make her leave. She's been telling me the most awful things. Why do you know she's been telling me you remarried her. Isn't that ridiculous.
Stefan(exchanges a glance with a smirking Bobbie)It's true, Katherine. And this is our wedding night and you're intruding on it. Put on your clothes and leave. You're making a fool out of yourself.
Kat(wraps the sheet around her and goes over to him)No it's not true. It can't be. You love me. We're two halves of a whole. I'm the pearl to your oyster. I'm the pretzels to your beer.
Stefan:Katherine, Cassadines don't consume beer and pretzels.
Kat:Stefan, why are you doing this to me. Don't you know our love is as deep as the ocean and as wide as the sea and that you can't stop it anymore than you can stop the sun from rising in the morning and setting in the evening.
Bobbie:(yawns)It's getting way past my bedtime. Can we please end this melodrama so I can get some sleep?
Stefan:Katherine, I told you before I never loved you. I told you the only reason I pretended to be interested in you was so you wouldn't tell the police I shot you.
Kat:No, you're lying. You left Bobbie for me.
Stefan:I also told you Barbara betrayed me and she had to go. It had absolutely nothing to do with you. But, again, you weren't listening to me.
Kat:Then why would you remarry her?
Stefan:To punish her and Luke, of course. You see, I wasn't aware of the magnitude of her betrayal. Simply throwing her out of my life isn't punishement enough for her crime. No, I can make her suffer a great deal more as Mrs. Stefan Cassadine. That will be her true and fitting punishment.
Kat:What did you do?
Bobbie:Luke and I stopped him from attaining global power. He was responsible for the blackout at the hospital that nearly killed Audrey. He had some sort of virus that would help him control the world's computers. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, does it?
Stefan:So, if I could do that, do you think it's beyond me to play with some silly woman's emotions.
Kat:You're a monster. I hate you.(she grabs up her clothes and runs out)
Bobbie:Well, now you've done it. I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't go straight to the police and turn you in for shooting her.
Stefan:Don't be ridiculous, Barbara. Katherine wouldn't want the whole world to know what a fool I made of her.
Bobbie:You don't know here very well, do you?
Stefan:Barbara, let's put this unpleasantness behind us.(he takes off his robe and gets into bed. Then pats the spot next to him)Come to bed, Barbara.
Bobbie:You don't really think I'm going to sleep with you, do you?
Stefan:Actually, I thought we'd do a lot more than sleep. It is our wedding night, after all.
Bobbie:Look, Stefan, if you wanted some sex, you should have rolled around in the litter box with your gutter kitty because you aint getting any from me.
Stefan:Barbara, you're my wife. What do you expect me to do? Pay for it.
Bobbie:Look, I told you when I left this chamber of horrors. If I am a whore, I am one you cannot afford. I'm going to sleep in another room.
Stefan:Oh, no you're not. I will not have the staff gossiping about us sleeping in seperate rooms.
Bobbie:All right, fine.(she stomps over to the bed and gets in)But I'm warning you. You'd better keep your hands to yourself.
Stefan:And if I don't?
Bobbie:Does the name Lorena Bobbitt mean anything to you?
Stefan:You're not threatening me, are you, Barbara.
Bobbie:Let me just put it this way. I'm a surgical nurse, I have access to scalpels and I know how to use them. Goodnight.
Back Room at Luke's Club:
Luke(is lighting a cigar as Kat enters)Hey, Blondie, where's the Count, tonight? Hanging in the attic by his toes?
Kat:Luke, I should have listened to you. Everything you said about Stefan is true. He's a monster.
Luke:Well, well, will wonders never cease. The lightbulbs finally come on and somebody's at home.
Kat:I want to help you destroy him. I want to smash him under my feet.
Luke:Boy, he must have really done something bad to get you to turn on him. How'd he top shooting you in the back?
Kat:I want to get on this right away. What will we do to him first?
Luke:Hold it, Blondie. You're getting way ahead of me, here. I'm afraid you'll have to count me out of this one. I'm sorry, you're on your own.
Kat:Why?
Luke:Look, as long as the Bat leaves me and mine alone, I'm going to stay out of his face.
Kat:Then I guess you don't know.
Luke:Know what?
Kat:(smirks)Stefan remarried Bobbie, tonight.
Wyndemere:
Bobbie(and Stefan awake to a loud pounding on the door)What's that?
Luke:Cassadine, I know you're in there. Open this door, at once.
Stefan:Your brother.(he goes to answer the door and Bobbie follows him downstairs)
Luke:Cassadine, I gonna count to ten than I'm gong to break down this door.
Stefan(yanks the door open)Spencer, do you know what time it is?
Luke(zeroes in on Bobbie)Barbara Jean, tell me this is some kind of sick joke. Tell me, you din't remarry Sir Graves Ghastley, here.
Stefan:Well, Spencer, I guess you won't be sending us a wedding present.
Luke:Woman, you finally saw him for the ghoul he is. What's wrong with you? Why would you do this?
Stefan(smirks)Yes, Barbara, why don't you tell himi why you did it.
Bobbie:Luke, you're not me keeper. I don't have to explain to you why I do anything.
Luke:This doesn't make sense. Before I left town to go to Sonny's wedding you were fine. What did he do? Hypnotize you?
Stefan:(smiles)Ah, yes, I used my evil Cassadine powers to mesmerize Barbara.
Luke:All right, Barbara, pack your things. You're leaving with me.
Stefan:My wife is staying exactly where she is.
Luke:Barbara Jean, I just don't understand you. You were lucky enough to escape the castle of the damned in one piece, so you go back for more? Baby sister, this time you may not escape alive.
Bobbie:Go home, Luke.
Luke:(to Stefan)I don't know what kind of hold you've got over her. But I'm going to find out what it is and I'm going to break it.
Cassadine Compound, Greece:
Helena:Alexis, dahling, has something gone wrong with the plan to convince Stefan that the Bell creature is his half-sister, Natasha?
Alexis:No, I did exactly as you suggested and it worked like a charm, but Stefan behaved in a way neither of us anticipated. He remarried Bobbie Spencer.
Helena:That boy is a constant disappointment. I can't believe he's the fruit of my loins. To remarry a woman who tried to poison him and whose allegiance is to his enemy? Is he nuts? Something must be done about this.
Alexis:That's why I'm here. What do you suggest.
Helena:I know of a poison that when administered in small doses is completely untraceable.
Alexis:Aunt Helena, I can't poison Bobbie.
Helena:Why not? It's no different than what she did to Stefan.
Alexis:I'll think of something else.
Helena:Before you leave, dahling, I'm going to give it to you, anyway. It never hurts to be prepared.
Sonny's Hospital Room:
Brenda(is standing by Sonny's bed as Madeline enters)Don't bother telling me to leave. Sonny and I have unfinished business to settle before I can marry Jax. And I'm not leaving until it's settled.
Madeline:He hasn't even regained consciousness yet. He wouldn't even be in that bed if it wasn't for you. If you had any feelings for Michael, you'd leave him alone.
Brenda:Why are you so determined to keep me away from Sonny>? Do I really threaten you that much? You mustn't be very secure in your relationship with him.
Madeline:You know nothing of my relationship with Michael and you're definitely no threat to it. Michael would kill me for telling you this, but maybe if you know you'll leave him alone and not put him under any stress until he recovers. Michael has manic depression.
Brenda:Manic depression? That's a good one.
Madeline:I'm not making this up. After Michael left Port Charles, he had a breakdown and was hospitalized. At first the doctor thought he might be on drugs. But after talking with Jason about Michael's behavior in the past, not to mention the way he behaved when he was admitted, he was diagnosed as having manic depression. Of course, Michael refuses to believe it's true and won't take the medication eventhough he's one of the lucky ones who'll most likely be symptom free by taking lithium.
Brenda:Maybe Sonny's right. Maybe you're making this up to keep me away from him. If Sonny has manic depression as ou say, but isn't getting treatment for it, why were you about to marry him.
Madeline:Because I thought I could get him to accept the truth in time. That I could convince him to start taking the medication and get the psycho-therapy he needs to help him deal with his illness. Right now the manic depression is in remission, but stress could trigger an episode of mania or depression. Which is where you come in. He's going to be under enough stress dealing with trying to pick up the pieces of his life in Port Charles, he doesn't need you adding to it by wanting to settle your unfinished business so you can get married.
Brenda:I don't believe you. Sonny's not crazy. Just what did Jason say to convince the doctors Sonny has manic depression.
Madeline:Jason described the events that occured before and after the death of Michael's first wife, Lily. You'd put him under stress for months by trying to convince him to leave his wife. It was you, wasn't it? Jason never mentioned you by name, but you behavior at the church made me think it must be you. Anyway, he decided to leave his wife for you, only to discover she was pregnant so he had to let youl, the love of his life, go. Yet he was euphoric about the child. This baby was the best thing to ever happen to him. He even threw a party at Luke's to announce Lily's pregnancy. No one had ever seen him so upbeat and happy. The doctors suspected those could have been the actions of someone suffering an episode of mania. Then there was the aftermath of Lily's death. Michael brooded about the past, when people rang his doorbell, sometimes he didn't even hear it. He blamed himself excessively for the death of his wife and he destroyed a piano when he kept hearing music playing in his head. The doctor's thought those could be the symptoms of a person suffering from depression. Anyway, a few weeks after the doctors administered lithium to him, Michael was realeased from the hospital.
Brenda:I'm sorry, you haven't convinced me. I'm not going to believe Sonny had a breakdown until I hear Sonny say it, himself. And his actions could have been a man happy about being a father and grieving the death of his wife and child. And what about you? Aren't you going to cause Sonny stress, too. Isn't having to deal with you after what happened at the church going to be stressful for him?
Madeline:All right, I'll make you a deal. We'll both stay away from Michael and leave it up to him if he wants to contact either of us. Do we have a deal?
Wyndemere:
Bobbie:Well, Stefan, this has really been some wedding night. First, you sex kitten on a stick got naked in our bed, then my brother threatened to break down the door. Gee, I wonder what will happen next?
Stefan:Let's just try to get some sleep, Barbara, which is more than I'm sure you're brother's doing at the moment.
Bobbie:You really enjoyed that scene with Luke, didn't you? Well, I didn't. I don't enjoy my brother thinking I'm so stupid I'd actually fall for your lies, again.
Stefan:You could always tell him the truth. That I threatened to tell Luke I was Nikolas' father if you didn't marry me.
Bobbie:You'd like that, wouldn't you. You'd love it if I did your dirty work for you. Well, it isn't going to happen.(someone knocks at the door)Now what?
Stefan:(opens the door to Taggert and Garcia)May I help you?
Garcia:We have a warrant for your arrest for the attempted murder of Katherine Bell.(he begins reading Stefan his rights)
Bobbie:So Katherine wouldn't want the world to know what a fool you made out of her, would she?
Garcia:Cuff him, Taggert.
Stefan:I am Stefan Cassadine. You can't do this to me.
