General Hospital Transcript Tuesday 1/15/08

=====

Lucky: Why all the secrecy pulling me off my stakeout?

Scott: Look, I just got a call from Mayor Floyd. He's in the hospital; he took a little bit of a spill. Now, there's some wacko in there who's holding the whole E.R. hostage. The guy's wife is sick. He has no insurance for her, so he's taken out his own insurance -- he's strapped a bomb to himself.

Lucky: Where's Mac and the bomb squad?

Scott: Well, the mayor wants this handled rather discreetly, Lucky.

Lucky: Mayor Floyd’s being held hostage and he's worried about his image?

Scott: Well, he just doesn't want this to turn into some big circus like the Metro Court where the guy gets a little nervous, panics, and he blows everybody up.

Lucky: So what do you want me to do?

Scott: I want you to take the guy out.

Lucky: We have men trained for that.

Scott: Well, there's a little bit of a time factor. Besides, we've got Morgan in there. He might come in handy.

=====

Lucky: I want you to double back and make sure that nobody comes down here.

Joe: The threat's still here, and I'm not going away. Nobody moves, I mean it.

Lucky: I think I can take him out.

Scott: Shoot to kill. And if you don't, maybe Morgan being there will count for something and he can take him down the rest of the way. We all know how he's waiting for the chance to play the hero.

Jason: His finger's on the detonator, the bomb is engaged. If he lets go for any reason, it'll explode, and we're all close enough to go with him.


>> On the next "General Hospital" --

Robin: You want to provoke an emotionally unstable person.

Emily: Maybe I should go away.

Joe: Why do you people keep trying to pull things, huh?

Lucky: Jason just got in the way.

Scott: Accidents happen. Take the shot, Spencer.
