Oh, perfect.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Olivia: Hey. What are you doing?<\/p>\n<p>Ned: I&#8217;m eating your lasagna from last night.<\/p>\n<p>Olivia: No, no, what are you doing eating it cold? You&#8217;re going to get a stomach ache.<\/p>\n<p>Ned: No, no, no, no, no. I like it like this &#8212; vintage.<\/p>\n<p>Olivia: Vintage? Lasagna?<\/p>\n<p>Ned: Well, not vintage. More like rock &#8216;n&#8217; roll, you know? Late nights, music till dawn, cold lasagna.<\/p>\n<p>Olivia: Right, right. Up all night, bar crawling, too wasted to put it in the oven.<\/p>\n<p>Ned: Exactly.<\/p>\n<p>Olivia: Okay, well, except for that, you got a working oven and someone that&#8217;s perfectly happy to heat it up for you, okay?<\/p>\n<p>Ned: No. No, no, no. I&#8217;m not going to let you do that. You&#8217;re too busy. Besides, I really like it like this. And I&#8217;m used to it, eating on the go &#8212; cold and quick.<\/p>\n<p>Olivia: Okay, okay. It&#8217;s not going to happen on my watch. You&#8217;re not eating cold lasagna for breakfast. Just let me make you a frittata.<\/p>\n<p>Ned: No, no. Okay, I&#8217;ll make you a deal. How about warm lasagna?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Josslyn: Hello.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Hey. You&#8217;re up early.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: I am going to the pool. Unless you need help at Kelly&#8217;s. I can totally cancel.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: No, I told you, Pete&#8217;s opening up. Go have fun.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: I&#8217;m not going to have fun.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Sounds like you want to cancel.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: Well, I am going to be binging &#8220;Gray&#8217;s Anatomy&#8221; all day, not the show, but the book. I wish it was the show.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Oh, your semester&#8217;s starting soon, huh?<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: Yes. So soon. Too soon. Summer flew by. I have a mountain of things that I should have done over break.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: You say that every year, and then you ace all your tests and tell me how interesting your classes are.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: I know, I know, and they&#8217;re interesting. It&#8217;s just so much to remember. And then life happens, and I get distracted.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Life&#8217;s always happening.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: I know. I have to stop delaying. I&#8217;m trying to remember that &#8220;tough times don&#8217;t last, but tough people do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Carly: That&#8217;s right. Mom&#8217;s Aunt Ruby. That&#8217;s what she used to say.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: Mm-hmm. Okay, well, if you need me, call me, text me.

We&#8217;ll talk later.<\/p>\n<p>Gabe: Morning.<\/p>\n<p>Betty: Angora. It&#8217;s her own fault, really. You should never dry-clean angora.<\/p>\n<p>Gabe: You&#8217;re telling me.<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: [ Chuckles ] Thanks, Brick. Just stay in touch, will ya? Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>[ Knock on door ]<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: Got to go. Bye.<\/p>\n<p>Betty: Good morning, Mr. Corinthos.<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: Hi, Betty. Come on in.

I know. I heard.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: I can&#8217;t believe they turned Scout away.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: I&#8217;m so sorry that I couldn&#8217;t let anybody know.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: That&#8217;s okay. That&#8217;s okay. Don&#8217;t worry about me. I&#8217;m just so glad you got out sooner.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: Sooner? How did you know how long it was supposed to be? Carly, what did you do?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Betty: What&#8217;s wrong? Why don&#8217;t you want me near Avery?<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: Isn&#8217;t it obvious? Avery&#8217;s sick. I&#8217;d hate for you to catch it.<\/p>\n<p>[ Both chuckle ]<\/p>\n<p>Betty: Oh, Mr. Corinthos, that&#8217;s, um, so considerate of you. Aw, I was really looking forward to seeing her today. I hope she feels better, the poor little cupcake. Well, just text me when you need me again.<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: Betty. Here&#8217;s a little something, even, uh&#8230; a little extra for you.<\/p>\n<p>Betty: Oh, my gosh. Thank you so much.<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: Hey. Goodbye, Betty.<\/p>\n<p>Betty: Bye.<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: Dex. You know what to do.<\/p>\n<p>[ Door closes ]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Ned: This is actually a pretty nice spread you have here.<\/p>\n<p>Olivia: Yeah, that&#8217;s putting it mildly.<\/p>\n<p>Ned: You know, the kid is always going on about horses and bugs. He was telling me about some spotted lanternfly that&#8217;s invading New York.<\/p>\n<p>Olivia: Yes, I hear about it every day. Leo is on the patrol.<\/p>\n<p>Ned: [ Chuckles ] He&#8217;s a good kid. He wants me to teach him how to play the banjo.<\/p>\n<p>Olivia: You play the banjo?<\/p>\n<p>Ned: Not in the slightest.<\/p>\n<p>Olivia: [ Chuckles ]<\/p>\n<p>Ned: You know what? This is good.<\/p>\n<p>Olivia: Yeah?<\/p>\n<p>Ned: I have to admit, lasagna is definitely better warmed up.<\/p>\n<p>Olivia: Want the extra parmesan?<\/p>\n<p>Ned: No. No, no, no, no, no. I hate that. It&#8217;s like putting a sax solo on a punk-rock song. It just doesn&#8217;t fit.<\/p>\n<p>Olivia: It&#8217;s weird. Ned always loved it.<\/p>\n<p>Ned: I&#8217;m not Ned.<\/p>\n<p>Olivia: I know. Sorry.<\/p>\n<p>Ned: Forget it.<\/p>\n<p>Olivia: So, late night, huh?<\/p>\n<p>Ned: Busted.<\/p>\n<p>Olivia: Must&#8217;ve been quite a party. [ Chuckles ] Guess I wasn&#8217;t aware that Port Charles had such a vibrant after-hours scene.<\/p>\n<p>Ned: No, it was up to me to create my own party scene.<\/p>\n<p>Olivia: Did you meet any, uh, interesting party animals?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Diane: Well, thank you for asking, Robert. The car show was wonderful. Just row upon row of the most exquisite new vehicles. I felt like I&#8217;d stepped into the future.<\/p>\n<p>Robert: [ Chuckles ] Hm. So, uh&#8230; what was your favorite?<\/p>\n<p>Diane: Oh, how can you even ask me that with so many &#8212; so many amazing models to choose from? All the chrome was buffed to a near-mirror-like perfection. All the new leather interiors and the reliable engines. There were some electric vehicles, gorgeous colors. All in all, a wonderful time was had.<\/p>\n<p>Robert: Alexis enjoy it?<\/p>\n<p>Diane: Alexis?<\/p>\n<p>Robert: Yeah, you took her.<\/p>\n<p>Diane: I remember. Oh, right. No, no, no. Right, right. Well, after you expressed little &#8212; well, no interest, I did ask Alexis, yes, and she could not go, so I took Chris.<\/p>\n<p>Robert: Chris?<\/p>\n<p>Diane: Mm-hmm. Chris Simmons.<\/p>\n<p>Robert: Uh, did &#8212; did he &#8212; she e-enjoy the car show?<\/p>\n<p>Diane: Very much so. Almost as much as me.<\/p>\n<p>Robert: Where the hell&#8217;s that judge?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Anna: I was going to text you, but I-I can&#8217;t find my phone.<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: Wouldn&#8217;t be this phone, would it?<\/p>\n<p>Anna: Oh, yeah. Yeah, that&#8217;s &#8212; [ chuckles ] I &#8212; sorry, when I woke up, I was really disoriented. I didn&#8217;t know where I was. And you weren&#8217;t here. Um, where did you go?<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: I was at ELQ. I, uh&#8230; I noticed they&#8217;re still not up and running thanks to the water damage for the servers.<\/p>\n<p>Anna: How is that?<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: I&#8217;m sure it&#8217;ll be fixed soon. Ned Quartermaine&#8217;s not really acting like himself these days, so I have to stop by and keep the ship afloat.<\/p>\n<p>Anna: Right, right. I feel very sorry for Olivia, everyone over there, because it&#8217;s &#8212; it&#8217;s so unsettling when someone you know is acting strangely.<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: I&#8217;m sure it is. I haven&#8217;t had a lot of time to talk to the Quartermaines.<\/p>\n<p>[ Cellphone rings ]<\/p>\n<p>Anna: Oh, is that ELQ?<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: Yeah. But don&#8217;t worry. I&#8217;ll let it go to voicemail. What can I do for you?<\/p>\n<p>Anna: Well, you can help me find out who is literally trying to destroy my life&#8230; and why.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Anna: Someone out there is trying to kill me or at least destabilize me so much that I take my eye off the ball.<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: Well, listen, I would like nothing more than to smoke them out and&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Anna: What?<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: &#8230;.Strangle a confession from them.<\/p>\n<p>Anna: Wow. Really? Smoke them out?<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: That was a poor choice of words. My point is, I don&#8217;t think that it&#8217;s the appropriate course of action.<\/p>\n<p>Anna: Y-you&#8217;re not?<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: You and I both know that we&#8217;re dealing with a professional. This was a professional job.<\/p>\n<p>Anna: Okay, so we just drop it? We just ignore the fact that there was a public shooting and that my life went up in flames?<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: No. Of course not. We&#8217;re dealing with people who can cover their tracks.<\/p>\n<p>Anna: Mm. And we have experience in that department, too.<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: I will continue to make inquiries of my sources, but we need to prepare ourselves that there are not going to be any easy answers.<\/p>\n<p>Anna: I have to have a shower. I got to go to my lawyer and then insurance company. Got to put what&#8217;s left of my life back together, you know?<\/p>\n<p>[ Cellphone chimes ]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Robert: The judge is taking his sweet time.<\/p>\n<p>[ Cellphone rings ]<\/p>\n<p>Robert: Yeah, Scorpio. What? When? No, of course I know nothing about it. What? Well, no, I&#8217;m in the judge&#8217;s office, waiting for him to get back. Yeah. I&#8217;m on my way.<\/p>\n<p>Diane: Is there a fire that needs putting out in the D.A.&#8217;s office?<\/p>\n<p>Robert: Fire&#8217;s been put out. Destroyed a life, though.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Carly: I didn&#8217;t do anything.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: Meaning?<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Sonny did. I didn&#8217;t ask him to, but I&#8217;m so glad he did.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: Well, he, uh &#8212; he did say that he was going to do whatever he could for me while I was inside.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Are you okay?<\/p>\n<p>Drew: Carly, I&#8217;m fine. The other guy? Not so much.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: What? Why? What happened?<\/p>\n<p>Drew: Nothing I can&#8217;t handle. Don&#8217;t worry.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Does this have anything to do with you being put in solitary confinement?<\/p>\n<p>Drew: [ Sighs ] I got into it with a guy who was giving another inmate a hard time. I couldn&#8217;t just stand by and watch it happen. Okay?<\/p>\n<p>Carly: [ Sighs ] You don&#8217;t have to protect everyone, Drew. Who was this inmate that you helped?<\/p>\n<p>Drew: Cyrus Renault.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Betty: [ Sighs ]<\/p>\n<p>Pool attendant: Would you like something from the brunch menu?<\/p>\n<p>Betty: I&#8217;ll have the American breakfast with extra bacon. And I mean <span class=\"auto-style1\">extra<\/span> bacon. Rye toast.<\/p>\n<p>Pool attendant: Alright.<\/p>\n<p>Betty: Hey, I&#8217;m not done. Bring me a Bloody Mary, but forget the horseradish. Got it?<\/p>\n<p>Pool attendant: Yes.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: Drinking on the job? Or were you fired already?<\/p>\n<p>Betty: Your sister&#8217;s sick, so back off.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: Oh, it looks like I touched a nerve. Instead of Mary Poppins, I&#8217;m going to call you Bloody Mary. Hey, what are you doing here? I thought you were wor&#8211;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Sonny: Ava, can I just talk? Avery&#8217;s with me. She&#8217;s not going to be with Betty today. She is fine. Now, listen to me, okay? We already set the trap. We just have to spring it, and then we&#8217;re going to get the answers we need.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Ned: No party animals. Uh, unless you count Tracy.<\/p>\n<p>Olivia: Tracy?<\/p>\n<p>Ned: Yeah, she was here, doing a preemptive hangover strike with water and ibuprofen.<\/p>\n<p>Olivia: Oh.<\/p>\n<p>Ned: Definitely had a few too many. No, the real party was me and the old six-string in the solarium. Great acoustics in there.<\/p>\n<p>Olivia: Acoustics? So what exactly were you and your six-string doing up in the solarium, hmm?<\/p>\n<p>Ned: I was writing a song.<\/p>\n<p>Olivia: So you do write your own songs?<\/p>\n<p>Ned: Oh, yeah, yeah. You got to write your own material if you really want to stand out.<\/p>\n<p>Olivia: Music&#8217;s a tough business.<\/p>\n<p>Ned: Yes, it is. But I have help.<\/p>\n<p>Olivia: Ah?<\/p>\n<p>Ned: You might say a muse.<\/p>\n<p>Olivia: A muse. So what is this &#8212; this, uh, muse? A magical spirit that whispers sweet lyrics into your ear or something?<\/p>\n<p>Ned: [ Chuckles ] Sort of. Although, my muse is a little more earthly. Ever hear of Elvis Presley?<\/p>\n<p>Olivia: &#8220;The King of Rock &#8216;n&#8217; Roll&#8221; Elvis Pre&#8211; yes, yes, I&#8217;ve heard of him. That&#8217;s your muse?<\/p>\n<p>Ned: The one and only.<\/p>\n<p>[ Both laugh ]<\/p>\n<p>Ned: Well, let&#8217;s just say he inspires me.<\/p>\n<p>Olivia: Okay.<\/p>\n<p>Ned: And music&#8230; music, it&#8217;s the fire in my belly. It&#8217;s the spark in my soul.<\/p>\n<p>Olivia: It really is everything to you, isn&#8217;t it?<\/p>\n<p>Ned: Yeah. Makes me who I am.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Olivia: So, you and your guitar in the solarium with the ghost of Elvis.<\/p>\n<p>Ned: Just us and the spirits.<\/p>\n<p>Olivia: [ Chuckles ] That sounds like a hell of an audience.<\/p>\n<p>Ned: I can think of better. So what do you say? Do you want to hear what I&#8217;ve written so far?<\/p>\n<p>Olivia: You mean&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Ned: Do you want to hear my song?<\/p>\n<p>Olivia: I would love to.<\/p>\n<p>Ned: Alright. Just give me a sec. I&#8217;ll go get my guitar.<\/p>\n<p>[ Cellphone ringing ]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Diane: Robert, I can&#8217;t even imagine what Anna&#8217;s going through.<\/p>\n<p>Robert: She&#8217;s been through so much. First, the expos\u00e9 with The Bureau and now this.<\/p>\n<p>Diane: Do they have any idea what caused it?<\/p>\n<p>Robert: Arson. Look, I&#8217;ve got to go see her. When Bonds gets here, tell him I&#8217;ll send my A.D.A. over to handle it all.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Anna: Valentin, do you have any scissors? Please&#8230; [ Sighs ] [ Sighs ]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Valentin: I assume this is important if you&#8217;re willing to risk meeting in your home.<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: Yes, it is important. That message you had Anna deliver &#8212; what was that about?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Carly: Cyrus Renault? Why would you help him?<\/p>\n<p>Drew: Carly, I-I did what I had to do. Let&#8217;s not get into this now, okay? I &#8212; I only have a little bit of time left on this call. I don&#8217;t want to waste it on him. I&#8217;m way more interested in you. You okay?<\/p>\n<p>Carly: I miss you. But I&#8217;m fine.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: You don&#8217;t sound fine.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: I&#8217;m just so glad you&#8217;re out of solitary confinement.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: Hey, um, Carly, my, uh &#8212; my time&#8217;s up.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: [ Sighs ] Okay. I love you.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: I love you, too. Hey, if you can, come and see me today, okay? I really miss you.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: I&#8217;ll be there. I promise.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: Okay, bye.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Bye.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Betty: [ Scoffs ] Get a room.<\/p>\n<p>Dex: Sorry I&#8217;m late.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: It&#8217;s fine. Um, I was just stu&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Dex: Waiting on me, like usual. Sorry. Traffic was a nightmare.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: Um, okay, well, now that you&#8217;re here, you can help me learn about muscles for my anatomy course.<\/p>\n<p>Dex: Gladly.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>Drew: Come on, man. Come on. Don&#8217;t do this, Cyrus. Fight! <\/em><\/p>\n<p>Cyrus: Drew Cain. We meet again.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Olivia: That sounds exhausting, and I hope that you are taking care of yourself.<\/p>\n<p>Monica: Oh, don&#8217;t worry about me. It&#8217;s a lot less stressful than dealing with Tracy. Is she behaving?<\/p>\n<p>Olivia: Barely. And I wish you were here to referee.<\/p>\n<p>Monica: You don&#8217;t need me for that. You&#8217;ve got Brook Lynn, and she&#8217;s the best Tracy wrangler, by far. Hey, listen, I&#8217;m really calling because I wanted to check in on you and see how things were with Ned.<\/p>\n<p>Olivia: You mean Eddie?<\/p>\n<p>Ned: Ready to serenade you.<\/p>\n<p>Monica: Still? I know I&#8217;ve only been gone a week, but I really hoped for some progress. None?<\/p>\n<p>Olivia: Nope.<\/p>\n<p>Monica: I&#8217;m sorry. How is it going? Are you okay?<\/p>\n<p>Olivia: I&#8217;m okay.

I heard about the fire. Is it arson?<\/p>\n<p>Anna: [ Sniffles ] It&#8217;s all gone.<\/p>\n<p>Robert: The house is completely destroyed?<\/p>\n<p>Anna: Mm. Yeah, yeah. I mean, it doesn&#8217;t matter. It&#8217;s just a house and clothes and furniture. [ Sniffles ] It&#8217;s, like, memories and things that I really wanted to hold on to forever, from Robin and Emma and, like, photographs and [sighs] This little thing that Noah had made me out of driftwood. It was just so beautiful, and now it&#8217;s gone. Oh, God, it&#8217;s all just gone.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Valentin: Sonny, I have an acquaintance who used to work at Pikeman who gave me the heads up that there may be some personnel changes coming. I thought that was information I should pass along to you.<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: Heads-up? What does that mean? Is there trouble in the Pikeman organization?<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: No.<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: No? Are you sure about that? Huh?<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: Maybe.<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: What are you not telling me?<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: Listen, trouble or no, it doesn&#8217;t change the fact that there are elements in the Pikeman organization that are frustrated with your lack of cooperation.<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: My lack of cooperation? You know what? You can tell your friend to tell Pikeman to take their frustration and shove it. I told them months ago that I&#8217;m not going to lift a finger until they give me answers on the warehouse shooting.<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: Maybe they don&#8217;t have answers. This is a big deal. I don&#8217;t think they&#8217;re going to tank it by withholding information.<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: Well, you seem to have a lot of insight into Pikeman. Are you &#8212; are you working for them?<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: No.<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: Maybe I should just call this off.<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: Sonny, you can&#8217;t do that.<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: Watch me.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Carly: Hey. How bad is it?<\/p>\n<p>Diane: Why do you assume I only bring bad news?<\/p>\n<p>Carly: &#8216;Cause you&#8217;re a lawyer.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Cyrus: They let you out.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: They did.<\/p>\n<p>Cyrus: I&#8217;m sorry. Solitary can be, for most, unbearable, but you seem to have survived unscathed.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: Do I?<\/p>\n<p>Cyrus: My experiences there have brought me closer to God.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: Really? Mine brought me closer to insanity.<\/p>\n<p>Cyrus: But now you&#8217;re out.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: And you&#8217;re alive. And you look well.<\/p>\n<p>Cyrus: You know, the heart attack was just a divine reminder that we have far less control over our lives than we think.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: Certainly true in this place.<\/p>\n<p>Cyrus: Oh, that&#8217;s true everywhere. But a warrior like you, Drew, seldom accepts such a notion. You live in the realm of strategy and calculated risks in order to navigate the chaos of war.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: The war is over, Cyrus. You lost.<\/p>\n<p>Cyrus: [ Chuckles ] The war is never over, Mr. Cain. I will never forget what you did for me. I owe you my life.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Betty:\u00a0 The eggs were cold. Oh, and bring me another Bloody Mary.<\/p>\n<p>Pool attendant: Right away.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: Another drink, and it&#8217;s not even lunch. Maybe it&#8217;s a good thing Avery&#8217;s sick &#8212; if she even is sick.<\/p>\n<p>Dex: You know, all these diagrams make me even more appreciative of the human body. I mean, what a work of art.<\/p>\n<p>[ Cellphone rings ]<\/p>\n<p>Betty:\u00a0 Damned Mason. Yeah?<\/p>\n<p>Dex: Hey, would you mind switching seats? Um, I could really use some sun.<\/p>\n<p>Betty:\u00a0 Okay, okay, okay. I got it. I got it. I understand.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Monica: Goodbye, Olivia. I love you. Take care.<\/p>\n<p>Olivia: I love you, too, Monica. Take care.<\/p>\n<p>[ Beep ]<\/p>\n<p>Olivia: Oh, I&#8217;m worried about her. She&#8217;s pushing herself too hard, doing all these trips for the hospital. I just wish she&#8217;d stop trying to save the day for once.<\/p>\n<p>Ned: Sounds like you.<\/p>\n<p>Olivia: Me? What do you mean?<\/p>\n<p>Ned: I watch you. You do everything for everybody. You work at The Metro Court. You&#8217;re dealing with Leo. You&#8217;re dodging Tracy and Brook Lynn when they&#8217;re fighting. And, off course, you&#8217;re, uh, you know, dealing with me.<\/p>\n<p>Olivia: You&#8217;re all worth it. So, about that song?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Robert: Do you suppose whoever started the fire knew that you were out?<\/p>\n<p>Anna: I don&#8217;t know. I mean, I can&#8217;t really speculate on their motives at all. I have to concentrate on getting my life back together. You know, I was on my way to the lawyer.<\/p>\n<p>Robert: And insurance.<\/p>\n<p>Anna: Mm.<\/p>\n<p>Robert: Would it help if I came with you?<\/p>\n<p>Anna: Maybe. You know&#8230; all the policy numbers are up in the cloud, wherever that is, and so I&#8217;m just going to let them handle it, and I do have something far more important that I have to do.<\/p>\n<p>Robert: What can I do to help?<\/p>\n<p>Anna: I have to talk to Robin, you know? Would you stay with me while I &#8212; while I tell her what happened?<\/p>\n<p>Robert: Yeah.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Josslyn: Bye, Betty. Okay, so what the hell&#8217;s going on?<\/p>\n<p>Dex: No time. Best to just trust me, okay?<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: Dex.<\/p>\n<p>Dex: I love you. I&#8217;ll call you.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Carly: Are you sure nothing&#8217;s wrong?<\/p>\n<p>Diane: Carly, I will have you know, not every visit from your lawyer spells disaster.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: What are you talking about? It&#8217;s in your job description. You&#8217;re the carrier of bad news. Sometimes it&#8217;s good news, but most of the time it&#8217;s bad news.<\/p>\n<p>Diane: Touch\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: And you don&#8217;t usually visit me unless there&#8217;s a crisis.<\/p>\n<p>Diane: Well, that is one of life&#8217;s great shames.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Well, I&#8217;ll rephrase that. Unless there&#8217;s a crisis with me.<\/p>\n<p>Diane: Am I that transparent?<\/p>\n<p>Carly: You wouldn&#8217;t win a game of legal poker right now.<\/p>\n<p>Diane: [ Chuckles ] No, I&#8217;m sorry. I should not be bothering you with this. You&#8217;ve got &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Stop, stop. You&#8217;re my lawyer, but you&#8217;re also my friend, so whatever&#8217;s going on, I can use a distraction. So spit it out.<\/p>\n<p>Diane: Okay. You&#8217;re going to charge me for this, aren&#8217;t you?<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Oh, yeah.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Sonny: Why is it so important to you that I keep this deal?<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: It&#8217;s not important to me, but it&#8217;s obviously important to Pikeman, and it was important to you at one time.<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: Times change.<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: Okay, but what hasn&#8217;t changed is the nature of the people we are dealing with. Pikeman is a ruthless organization that has infiltrated multiple institutions and governments. I&#8217;m looking out for you here.<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: Well, thank you. I appreciate that. But next time you want to look out for me or give me a heads-up, deliver it yourself.<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: Sonny, don&#8217;t provoke these people, please.<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: You don&#8217;t have to worry about me, Valentin. I can take care of myself. I&#8217;m a big boy. Unless you know something that I should be aware of.<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: No.<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: Didn&#8217;t think so. Go ahead. Go ahead and go.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Ned: It&#8217;s only a work in progress.<\/p>\n<p>Olivia: I&#8217;m not judging you, Eddie. And, plus, if you can make any sense of what&#8217;s written there, I will be very impressed.<\/p>\n<p><em>Ned: I got lost in a storm on a boat with no oar on a sea where I never had been found my way to the shore not the same as before now I&#8217;m here in the in-between and when the clouds broke alive, I awoke to a misty world, like a dream but I&#8217;m fighting the smoke I could swear that she spoke who&#8217;s that spirit guiding me? The siren waits for me I think I hear her calling she whispers so silently the siren I can&#8217;t see she&#8217;s like a shadow following me or a distant memory <\/em><\/p>\n<p>Olivia: Wait, wait, why did you stop?<\/p>\n<p>Ned: That&#8217;s all I have.<\/p>\n<p>Olivia: So &#8212; so you never find out who she is? You never see the siren?<\/p>\n<p>Ned: Well, I don&#8217;t know. I haven&#8217;t figured out how to finish it. I&#8217;m not even sure if I can.<\/p>\n<p>Olivia: I think you can, Eddie. I think &#8212; I think that you will finish this when the time is exactly right. Keep working on it. Please. It&#8217;s beautiful. And thank you for sharing that with me.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Diane: So, of course, after Robert blew me off for Holly, I tried to be friends.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Just friends?<\/p>\n<p>Diane: Yes, just friends. Because I wanted to maintain an air of civility, to sort of take the high road. But then Robert starts acting all knight in shining armor. He&#8217;s very chivalrous, very solicitous, gallant.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: It&#8217;s nice to have someone in your corner.<\/p>\n<p>Diane: Is it? I mean, Carly, it&#8217;s been so many years since Max and I were together, I have forgotten how all of this works.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: [ Chuckling ] Come on. Diane, it&#8217;s like riding a bike. You just jump back on.<\/p>\n<p>[ Both chuckle ]<\/p>\n<p>Diane: Okay, well, I&#8217;m afraid I&#8217;m going to jump back on the bike, and then Robert&#8217;s going to put on the hand brake and send me flying into a ditch.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Oh. Well, there is that.<\/p>\n<p>Diane: Oh, I see you&#8217;ve been there.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Oh, yeah. I got a whole bunch of T-shirts. You want one?<\/p>\n<p>[ Both laugh ]<\/p>\n<p>Diane: No, I&#8217;m trying not to give it too much weight.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: [ Sighs ] Gosh. Men are complicated. But so are women. But you know what it boils down to? If Robert can&#8217;t see the amazing, accomplished, incredible woman standing right in front of him, to hell with him.<\/p>\n<p>Diane: It&#8217;s not really the answer I was looking for.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Dex: Yeah, she&#8217;s in the nail salon. Hasn&#8217;t met with anyone all day, but she did get a phone call she didn&#8217;t seem too happy about.<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: Forget about her. She&#8217;s just going to lead us in circles. We&#8217;ll have Gabe tail her. That way &#8212; just as a precaution. I want you to follow someone else, someone we have to pay close attention to.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Valentin: Okay, I tried to tell you rushing things was a mistake. Now we&#8217;re going to pay for it.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Anna: Bye, darling. I love you so much. Bye, Robin.<\/p>\n<p>Robert: Bye, sweetheart.<\/p>\n<p>Anna: [ Sighs ]<\/p>\n<p>Robert: She&#8217;s worried.<\/p>\n<p>Anna: Oh, god. Don&#8217;t make this worse.<\/p>\n<p>Robert: [ Chuckles ] Come on. This is our daughter. She sees right through us. She knows when we&#8217;re in danger. And, oh, by the way, we&#8217;re in danger quite a lot. But she accepts that. She&#8217;s as strong as you are.<\/p>\n<p>Anna: I don&#8217;t know how far this goes, Robert.<\/p>\n<p>Robert: Well, what do you want to do next?<\/p>\n<p>Anna: I&#8217;m not going to go out to see her. I&#8217;m not taking whatever danger I&#8217;m in out to her. No, that&#8217;s not going to happen.<\/p>\n<p>Robert: [ Sighs ]<\/p>\n<p>Anna: I-I have to figure out who is after me&#8230; &#8230;and then piece together what&#8217;s left of my life. Which includes figuring out who I can and cannot trust.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Drew: You owe me nothing.<\/p>\n<p>Cyrus: Oh, but I do. I owe you everything, my friend.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: We are not friends.<\/p>\n<p>Cyrus: [ Chuckles ] As God as my witness, I will find a way to repay you.
