October 17, 2007 Screencaps

Scene continues previously to this comment.

Jax: Yeah. I'm happy to hear that, you know. I'm sure Sonny's guards will keep an eye on you. But that's not what I wanted to say.

Alexis: What's wrong?

Jax: I didn't want to tell you this before when you were still living at Wyndemere in Nikolas' current of state of mind. But I think you have the right to know. Nikolas is the one who stabbed Jerry.

Scene continues previously to this comment.

Diane: Yes or no -- were you doing that on Sonny's orders?

Max: Yes.

Diane: Yes or no -- did you save Carly from a potentially dangerous situation?

Max: Yes.

Carly: No.

Sonny: Okay, how potentially dangerous, Max?

Carly: Don't betray me again, Max.

Max: Mrs. C, I'm only human.

Diane: Just tell Sonny what Carly did and be done with it.

Sonny: How dangerous, Max?

Max: Boss, Nikolas Cassadine went after her with a letter opener --

Carly: He's exaggerating! You are exaggerating.

Sonny: Okay, okay, Carly -- wait outside. Okay, Diane, we're going to have to reschedule this.

Diane: No problem.

Carly: Ugh.

Max: Croissant?

Diane: Um -- uh -- no.

Max: God. Who put that there?

Carly: Before you go flying off the handle, I'm fine, okay? I was fine last night. Max is completely overreacting.

Sonny: Did Nikolas have a letter opener?

Carly: Yes, he had a -- a letter -- yes.

Sonny: Did he threaten you?

Carly: You know what? He was a little out of control, but I was talking him down.

Sonny: Uh-huh.

Carly: Max handled it wrong.

Sonny: You're right, because Max should have shot the crazy bastard for threatening you.

Alexis: We both know how far Jerry will go when pushed. Do you think there's a chance that he's lying about Nikolas being his attacker?

Jax: Well, I wouldn't put it past my brother to set up Nikolas. But the evidence indicates otherwise. I mean, you’re out of Wyndemere because you think he's acting weird. And he went after Carly with a letter opener.

Alexis: What?

Jax: Yeah, yeah. She stayed calm, and she thinks that prevented Nikolas from, you know, losing it completely. On top of that, Jerry's accusation, and -- what? What are you thinking?

Alexis: A couple weeks ago, I had an argument with Nikolas that just escalated beyond reason. He threw a glass directly at my head.

Jax and Alexis sigh.

Alexis: You don't think Jerry's going to press charges against Nikolas, do you?

Jax: No, no, no, no, no. No, he already covered for Nikolas when the police questioned him.

Alexis: I'm not sure what I should do about this.

Jax: Nothing. I mean, you know, I'm just glad that you're okay. And now that you moved back home, I already -- I already feel better.

Elizabeth: Honest to God, Em, I could not have done this without you.

Emily: Oh, this move and everything it represents should only be done with a pizza, a bottle of wine, and a best friend.

Elizabeth: All this and she lines shelves, too.

Emily chuckles.

Emily: Look, I am glad for the distraction. I mean, Nikolas has been going through all these cognitive and psychological tests, and the doctors still aren't sure what's been triggering his mood swings.

Elizabeth: Well, jeez, no wonder you're worried.

Emily: Yeah, and it drives him crazy when I hover. He thinks I'm constantly looking for symptoms, so I think it's just better for everyone that I am here with you.

Elizabeth: I am grateful. I just hope you remembered that bottle of wine.

Emily: You're excited about this, aren't you?

Elizabeth: It's a big step, being on my own. And now that I'm finally taking it, I realize I probably should have done this months ago.

Carly: If Max walked into Nikolas Cassadine’s house and shot him, Max would be under arrest right now.

Sonny: Until he explained to the cops that Nikolas tried to stab you. And after he stabbed Jerry, and whoever else was --

Carly: He was waving around a letter opener, okay?

Sonny chuckles.

Carly: He wasn't going to stab me. And when is it okay to have Max follow me without my knowledge?

Sonny: You know I have a guard on you and the boys.

Carly: I know. They're all over the house. I can't miss them, but you know what? They keep their distance. They don't intrude in my life. Max is different.

Sonny: Max is different because he knows how you think, and you can't ditch him as quick.

Carly: Okay, how would you like it if I hired someone to follow you around and give me all the juicy details of everything that was going on between you and Kate Howard?

Sonny: Oh, don't bring Kate into this. It's not fair.

Carly: Oh, I see. So you're allowed to have privacy, but I'm not entitled to privacy?

Sonny: It's -- it's not about privacy, it's about risking your life. Why would you go over to see Nikolas Cassadine when you know he's in a dangerous situation right now, and he just -- he stabbed Jerry? Why would you do that?

Carly: How do you know that Nikolas stabbed Jerry?

Sonny: How do I know? Because Jax -- Jax told me. Well, so?

Carly: When did you talk to Jax?

Sonny: He told me last night while you were risking your life at Wyndemere.

Carly: He didn't tell me about this.

Sonny: Well, what do you want me to do about that?

Carly: I don't like my husband and my ex-husband discussing me behind my back, Sonny!

Sonny: Okay -- okay, you know what? I -- not to defend Jax, because you know how I feel about that. But maybe he was going to tell you and got distracted because he saw that you nearly died.

Carly: I didn't nearly die. What are you not getting?

Sonny: You know -- you know what I think? I think there's something wrong going on between you and Jax, and you're spiraling out. Okay? And when you risk your life, you risk Michael and Morgan’s happiness. So go ahead and tell me what the hell is going on with you?

Carly: Jax and I had a -- a difficult summer.

Scene continues.

Elizabeth: I am so grateful you found this place for me.

Emily: Yeah, I knew you didn't want to stay at Audrey’s for too long.

Elizabeth: I finally feel independent again.

Emily: Yeah?

Elizabeth: As opposed to a three-time failure who runs home to Gram's every time she falls flat on her face.

Emily: Are you kidding? You are not a failure. Elizabeth, you get huge points for trying, first of all. Most people don't even do that. You have two great sons. You're beautiful, you're dedicated to your work. Your life has a world of potential, and it's just waiting for you to figure out what is next.

Elizabeth: Well, next is settling in, making a routine for myself and the boys so the three of us can start to feel like a family.

Emily: And what about Lucky?

Elizabeth: Once the mediation is done and there's a custody agreement, I hope that Lucky and I will be able to make things okay for Cameron and Jake.

Emily giggles.

Elizabeth: To a job well done.

Emily: To your future.

Elizabeth: Thank you.

Diane: Hello. Well, isn't this cheerful?

Elizabeth: Hi.

Diane giggles.

Elizabeth: How did it go with Alexis?

Diane: Oh, Alexis is such a lovely woman. She is so bright. She's got such excellent taste. Naturally, I'll be tearing her to pieces. We are no closer than before to an agreement, which bodes very well for you.

Elizabeth: Well, I don't understand.

Diane: Alexis is doing a lot of posturing. But she and Lucky have absolutely no room to maneuver, which means that you will be getting everything you deserve.
