General Hospital Transcript Thursday 1/31/08

=====


Elizabeth: Lucky, I thought you left.

Lucky: I did.

Elizabeth: Have you seen Sam?

Lucky: No. I was just sitting here wondering how many mistakes one man can make.

=====

Lucky: You know, I left here with all that stuff that you told me about Sam. And I couldn't get it out of my mind -- the things she did, the lies, the games, the stunts she pulled -- the things that everybody kept from me again.

Lucky: I just walked around. I went home. I -- I looked in the window and Sam -- she was sitting there at the table, candles lit.

Elizabeth: Okay, I don't need to hear this; I don't want to hear this.

Lucky: Yes, you do. Because you and me, that's where all of this started -- or rather, with me. You know, if I would've trusted you to be around Patrick, if I would've tried to listen to you when you were telling me the truth instead of later when you started telling me lies, we'd be in a whole different place. You know, I don't know if it would've made a difference or not about my drugs, but I don't think I ever would've cheated on you with Maxie. That's something that I have to live with every day, and I'm -- I'm sorry.

Elizabeth: You don't have to apologize again.

Lucky: No, I just have to make sense of this mess. I got to make sense of this whole mess my world is in. You know, we could still -- we could still be married. We could still be in love the way we used to be. I could have a son or a daughter that could really be mine.

Elizabeth: Lucky, I lied to you, I kept lying to you. No matter how justified that was in my own head, people who love each other don't do that.

Lucky: We are lying to a whole lot of people that we love every day -- about Jake.

Elizabeth: To protect him.

Lucky: You know, you tried to protect me by letting me believe that he was mine. You tried to protect me by holding back the truth about Sam and what she's capable of doing. At least you had an excuse. What excuse does Sam have?

Elizabeth: When you came home and you found us arguing, I was so annoyed that Sam had been left alone with Jake. Lucky, she said she loved you.

Lucky: It makes the whole situation worse.

=====

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

Lucky: I had a lot of thinking to do.

Sam: I called you.

Lucky: I know. Looks like I spoiled your surprise.

Sam: No, it's -- it's okay. We'll -- we will have other nights.

Lucky: What's the occasion?

Sam: I think I've been withholding things from you. I just -- I think I've been afraid.

Lucky: Of what?

Sam: Ooh -- of what? Of -- feeling. But you're right. I -- I've got to trust you.

Lucky: Can I trust you?

Sam: You know how this all started. Lucky, come on, part of the attraction to you was a way at getting back at Jason and Elizabeth. You said you knew and -- and you didn't care, but I need you to know that things have changed for me. What I feel for you has absolutely nothing to do with anything but what's going on between us, and I -- I never expected to feel like this for you. But I do, and I have to tell you that I couldn't be happier. And I want you to be happy, too. I want -- I want us to be happy together.

=====

Lucky: I want to believe you. But I know I can’t.

Sam: Whoa, whoa, I don't understand.

Lucky: I didn't, either. I know there were a lot of hard feelings between you and Jason and Elizabeth and I had no idea why.

Sam: I already -- I don't care about that anymore. I already -- I told you. I even went to Elizabeth today to try and make peace.

Lucky: I know.

Sam: "You know"? What -- what do you mean? She told you?

Lucky: She told me a lot of things -- some very ugly things.

Sam: But you -- I mean, you can't believe anything that she says. She doesn't want us to be together, she doesn't want us to be happy.

Lucky: She doesn't want our children in danger. That's why she freaked out when she came home and found you alone with Jake. I mean, what if -- what if it did get out that Jason was Jake's father and somebody grabbed him and ran off with him and then you stood by and let it happen -- like that day you did in the park?

=====

Sam: I can explain.

Lucky: No, you can’t. I'm sure you can lie, and I'm -- I'm sure you could come up with some real convincing story. I'm sure you could even hire some people to put on some good, convincing act for me -- kind of like the two thugs that you hired to terrorize Elizabeth and those two innocent little boys just so you could be on "Everyday Heroes."

Sam: Hey, will you please just let me say something, please?

Lucky: There's nothing that you could do to make a difference. The only thing you can do now is get the hell out of my life.

=====

>> On the next "General Hospital" --

Lucky: Never come near Jake again.

Carly: Who do you think the real killer is?

Sam: I just got a text message from the killer.

Lucky: I'm not falling for it.

Sam: Please!

Lucky: I got to go.
