General Hospital Transcript Wednesday 1/30/08

=====

Alexis: Ah. What's wrong?

[Sam chuckles]

Sam: Well, that's just it -- inexplicably and without warning, something has actually gone right.

Alexis: So you're celebrating? Should we celebrate? It doesn't feel like a celebration.

Sam: I think I'm falling in love with Lucky, and I think he feels the same way, too.

Alexis: Okay.

Sam: Okay, I mean, ever after knowing all of the stupid things that I've done and all of the lies I've -- he still wants to be with me.

Alexis: So what's the problem?

Sam: Yeah, the problem. Um -- I'm afraid to trust that.

Alexis: I think that you can trust that -- as long as you have, in fact, told him all the lies.

=====

Lucky: I overheard you talking with Sam. Not all of it, but enough. I want the truth. What else is Sam keeping from me?

Elizabeth: I don't know what you think you heard --

Lucky: You don't trust Sam with the kids.

Elizabeth: Well, I'd feel that way about anyone you were dating.

Lucky: Because she did something, Elizabeth, something she obviously didn't intend on telling me.

Elizabeth: You need to ask Sam.

Lucky: I'm asking you.

=====

Lucky: Sam has been keeping something from me, something she intended on keeping.

Elizabeth: And this is between you and Sam.

Lucky: You and I are supposed to be working together as Jake's parents. I'm pretending to be that little boy's father to protect him from Jason's enemies, but it doesn't end there if you believe that Sam could be a danger to them!

Elizabeth: Oh, I was angry when I said those words --

Lucky: So you didn't mean it? Sam can watch the boys and you're fine with it?

Elizabeth: I never liked Sam, I never trusted her. She used you as a way to get back at me and Jason.

Lucky: I let her, but things change.

Elizabeth: A person doesn't change. Come on, did you think that you would ever really be able to trust her?

Lucky: Are you ever really going to trust me?

Elizabeth: What?

Lucky: Well, if a person doesn't change, I'll always be a lying pill popper in your eyes.

Elizabeth: This is different --

Lucky: No, how is it different? What did Sam do that's got you so worried, so sure that it's going to send me over the edge, diving back into a bottle of pills?

Elizabeth: I don't --

Lucky: Stop protecting me! Just tell me the truth.

=====

Sam: We are both drawn to dangerous and very unstable men.

Alexis: I'm so sorry.

Sam: Whether it's an impulse to protect them, or whether we're trying desperately to blow up our own lives, I just -- yeah, we have issues.

Alexis: Really? You think? Issues?

Sam: Yeah, I think, because when I walked in here, it looked like Jerry Jacks was trying to make out with you.

Alexis: All right, that's not what -- no.

Sam: And this is a guy who shot Robin Scorpio, blew up the Metro Court, and -- whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute. Before that, there was Ric, and then before that, there was -- ugh --

Alexis: Sonny.

Sam: Sonny, yes.

Alexis: All right.

Sam: Yes, and -- and I think that -- hello -- talk about being like your mother?

Alexis: All right, that's it, go to your room.

Sam: I'm just -- come on, I am just saying when -- when I was with Jason, it was always sort of a matter of survival. You know, we were always in this constant state of, like, red alert. But Lucky -- Lucky -- you know, there's absolutely -- there's nothing going on in -- in the background. And when he's with me, he's with me, and I can tell that he's thinking and -- and feeling me. And -- I -- I guess I just -- I want to be more real with him, and that is so strange and --

Alexis: Sad?

Sam: Uh -- no.

Alexis: Stressful?

Sam: Uh-uh.

Alexis: Scary?

Sam: Scary -- yes, scary.

Alexis: Because you're being honest, it is scary, but do it. Tell him. Whatever -- whatever it is, just tell him. It's better that it comes from you.

Sam: I don't know about that because I really think my lies have hurt him enough already.

Alexis: Then the truth will be a refreshing change.

Sam: Well --

[Knock on door]

Sam: Hmm -- I'll get it.

Sam: It's Kate. Hello.

Kate: Oh, hi. I was actually looking for your mother.

Alexis: I'm here, Kate. How are you?

Kate: Perhaps I should come back another time.

Sam: No, no, no, no, don’t. I was -- I was just leaving. Um -- I'm going to leave. I got some really good advice. I'm going to take it before I chicken out, okay?

Alexis: All right, good luck.

Sam: Here.

Kate: Thank you.

Sam: You might need that.

Kate: Good luck.

Sam: Thanks.

Alexis: Well, welcome. Come on in. What's going on with you?

Kate: Sonny.

=====

Lucky: "Lucky might break, Lucky is one piece of bad news away from trying to drown himself in a bottle of pain pills" -- that was your excuse for lying to me every day, letting me believe that Jake was my son.

Elizabeth: I was worried about you -- with good reason.

Lucky: Stop hiding behind that! Stop treating me like I'm damaged goods!

Elizabeth: That's not what I'm doing.

Lucky: Emily was strangled to death by somebody that I worked with, my brother has an inoperable brain tumor, my father could be lying dead in a ditch somewhere -- all the great excuses for relapse, Elizabeth, but I haven't! I just want to know why you're holding back. Why won't you tell me the truth?

Elizabeth: Because you're happy. And as much as I can't stand Sam -- what she did was in the past, maybe you should leave it there.

=====

Sam: Hi, Lucky. Um -- it's me. I -- um -- I guess I -- I just wanted to hear your voice -- I don't know -- maybe -- maybe just to talk. Anyway, I hope you're having a good day, and, um, I wanted to let you know that when you get home, I have a little surprise for you.

=====

Lucky: You think I should pretend I never heard you and Sam arguing, let things go on the way they are?

Elizabeth: For now.

Lucky: Go on living another lie? I appreciate that you want to make up for the past, but this isn't the way. I think we both learned that it can only make things worse the longer the lie goes on.

Elizabeth: It happened before things had changed between you and Sam, when she was still desperate to hang on to Jason. She knew I had given him the child she couldn't, and it was killing her inside. The day in the park, when Jake was kidnapped --

Lucky: What did Sam do?

Elizabeth: Nothing.

Lucky: What did she do?

Elizabeth: After Sam and I spoke, she didn't leave the park right away. She was there when it happened. In fact, she watched a mentally unstable woman reach into the stroller and take Jake. She saw me turn around from tying Cameron’s shoe and find Jake gone. She heard me screaming, she saw me coming apart at the seams, and yet she just stood there and watched -- and did nothing.

Lucky: Thank you.

Elizabeth: Wait -- you might as well know --

Lucky: There's more?

Elizabeth: You know those gunmen in the park that threatened me and the boys -- the ones claiming to be Jason's enemies?

Lucky: Yeah, the ones Sam chased off.

Elizabeth: Well, it was no accident that Sam showed up when she did. She hired them, Lucky -- to drive home how dangerous it would be for Jake to be a part of Jason's life. She did not want Jason claiming his son. Lucky -- Lucky, what are you going to do?

=====


Boy: Yo, you looking to party?

Lucky: What?

Boy: I got all kinds of pills, bro -- you know, whatever floats your boat. You know, some uppers, some downers -- yo, man, what the hell? What are you doing?

Lucky: You think you're the candy man, huh? Well, guess what -- I got two kids, and I can think of a whole lot of words to call you.

Boy: What are you going to do, man?

Lucky: You don't want to find out. Get out of here -- get out of here, your party's over!

=====


[Splash]

Lucky: You were there the whole time? Watching, wondering what I would do? Wondering if I'd take those pills, wondering if you could trust me to be with Jake. You know, I'd like to swear I'd never take another pill, but that's a dangerous road for a recovering drug addict. But you could be with the person day in, day out, look them in the eye, into the heart, think you'd know them and be dead wrong. But I don't have to tell you that.

=====


>> On the next "General Hospital" --

Luke: I'm home!

Monica: Not anymore, you're not.

Sam: I was getting worried. Where have you been?

Jason: I'm not sure that Cooper was really the text message killer.

Bartender: The lady would like to buy you a drink.
