Bobbie: Why don’t you discuss Carly’s pregnancy with Carly?

Sonny: We both know Carly will lie. There’s no point in asking here. But you’ve been trying to tell me, haven’t you?

Bobbie: It’’s not my place.

Sonny: A.J. and Carly don’t sleep together. Jason hasn’t slept with her in years, so that leaves me. She told you, didn’t she? I’m the father of the baby? Huh? Bobbie: Yes. Yes, you are the father.

Sonny: I wasn’t supposed to know?

Bobbie: Carly has her reasons.

Sonny: Thanks for telling me. I’m going to take care of the situation.

Bobbie: Well, wait a minute. What is that supposed to mean?

Sonny: What do you want me to wait until Carly does, sometime after hell freezes over?

Bobbie: Oh, come on, Sonny. Give yourself some time.

Sonny: Time for what? For her to pull some kind of stunt? I have a responsibility here.

Bobbie: Well, wait a minute. What about the night you slept with her? How responsible was that? I mean, none of this would have happened if you’d taken five minutes to think about it.

Sonny: You think I don’t know that?

Bobbie: Did you ever consider protection?

Sonny: I'm not saying I did the right thing, Bobbie...

Bobbie: I mean, come on. Did you learn anything from Stone and Robin? Do you think none of this applies to you?

Sonny: The whole night was a mistake.

Bobbie: No, you...you and your respect and your honor. Well, what about the respect for my daughter or for your best friend? Has it occurred to yo that Jason would be here right now if not for you and Carly?

Sonny: I think about it every day.

Bobbie: And Michael...Michael’s got one more huge hole in his life. He’s got one more big fight that he’s stuck right in the middle of...

Sonny: Car...

Bobbie: And all because the two of you didn’t stop and think.

Sonny: Carly and I will play for all the mistakes, not Michael and not my child.

Bobbie: That’s a crock, and you know it. Sonny, has it occurred to you that what is best for this baby might break your heart? Give yourself some time, huh? Come on. The worst thing you can possibly do is go out tonight and do something rash without thinking things through.

Sonny: Anything else?

Bobbie: No.

Sonny: Thanks for telling me the truth

Bobbie: Hey, don’t make me regret it..

Edward: Would you like your Valentine’s present?

Lila: Oh, yes, dear. Please.

Edward: Ha ha. Here you are.

Carly: Oh. Wow.

Lila: Oh.

Edward: Remember, from that little shop we found off fifth avenue? And here’s the music that we danced to all that summer.

Lila: O. How lovely. Thank you, dear. Thank you.

Edward: So, happy Valentine’s, and I love you. So, am I the only person here who realizes that it’s Valentine’s day?

Monica: No, you’re not. Those beautiful roses are from Alan. So is this necklace.

Carly: [sarcastically] Yeah, it’s gorgeous, really gorgeous.

Edward: You couldn’t get her a regular strand of pearls? Five pears...what kind of a gift is that, Alan?

Alan: One for each year she’s been cancer free.

Edward: [Uncomfortable and embarrassed] Oh. Well, that’s different.

Monica: Aren’t you glad I’m still around, Ed?

A.J.: Carly?

Carly: Thank you. Think I’m going to like this tradition.

Monica: No doubt. [Doorbell rings.]

Edward: [yelling] Reginald, send them away. No guests tonight. Tonight, it’s Quartermaines only.

Monica: Thank you.

Carly: [Carly opens her gift and finds a charm bracelet.] Oh. Look at this.

A.J.: Yes.

Carly: [It is obvious she is disappointed.] Wow.

A.J.: It’s a charm from Hawaii, and a charm for Michael.

Carly: Oh.

A.J.: Plenty of room for our new child and children to come.

Carly: Well, I love it. Thank you, A.J.

Monica: [Under her breath to Alan, but Carly hears her.] I guess he’s not springing for the fancy gifts anymore.

Carly: Uh. And we will have years and years for you to buy me charms for it.

A.J.: And I look forward to it.

Edward: [Edward taps his glass.] Ahem. The very heart of the Quartermaine family is in this room tonight...those of us who are brave enough and strong enough to stay married. We’re the foundation on which this family is built. So, to all the Quartermaines here and to all the Quartermaines to come. [Sonny enters.] Hey. Hey. How’d you get in here?

Sonny: I'm Sorry, Mrs. Quartermaine. No one answered the door. I just let myself in.

Edward: Well, you can just let y ourself out.

Sonny: I need to speak to Carly alone.

Edward: No, under no circumstances.

Monica: You have no business here.

Alan: I'll show you the door.

Carly: Why don’t I just see what he wants? I mean, it’ll just take a minute, right?

[Carly tries to leave to talk with Sonny but A.J. stops her.]

A.J.: No, no...

Carly: No, come on! It’s no big deal. I’m sure it’s not a big deal.

A.J.: Why would you want to speak to my wife?

Sonny: Why? Because she’s pregnant with my child.

[The camera pans the shocked faces of Monica, Alan, A.J. and Lila, who looks very upset.]

Monica: Didn’t I tell you something like this would happen?

Alan: What, you believe that criminal?

A.J.: Get out.

Edward: I won’t have this ludicrous filth in my house.

Carly: [In a desperate voice.] Hey, you know, well, maybe there’s been a misunderstanding or something. Why don’t you guys just give us a minute so we can talk?

Sonny: Too late, Carly.

Carly: Well, you can’t just come in here like this.

Sonny: No?

Carly: You can’t just say things. That’s not fair.

A.J.: I told you to get the hell out of here, Sonny!

Sonny: [He bends down to talk to Lila.] Mrs. Quartermaine, I’m very sorry...

Monica: Oh, for God’s sakes!

Edward: I will not have Lila subjected to this.

Lila: I'm staying, Edward.

Carly: Hey, why can’t you just leave me alone?

Sonny: You telling me it’s not my kid? Tell me it’s not my kid.

Carly: I'm telling you this baby’s got nothing to do with you.

Sonny: You don’t sleep with your husband, do you?

A.J.: All right, that’s enough.

Sonny: And Jason wouldn’t have you.

Carly: [This statement sets Carly off and she yells....] Shut up! Get out, Sonny!

Sonny: But you couldn’t climb into my bed fast enough last December, right?

Alan: Did Jason put you up to this?

Edward: You can’t prove a thing.

Sonny: I'll get a court order for a blood test!

Edward: Call the attorney right now, A.J.

Sonny: But we don’t...we don’t really need a blood test, do we? Because we both know that it’s going to prove.

[A.J. is staring at Carly intensely, realizing the truth of Sonny’s words.]

Carly: Forget the blood test.

Lila: Oh, Carly.

Carly: The baby...it’s yours, Sonny.

Monica: Well, I knew you were a tramp, but Sonny Corinthos?

Alan: How long have you been sleeping with him?

Monica: That’s why Jason left, isn’t it?

A.J.: How many times did you sleep with my wife, Sonny?

Sonny: Once.

Alan: You expect us to believe that?

Monica: Jason found out.

Carly: Yeah.

Monica: Yes, and he left because of you.

Carly: Not just because of me.

Monica: Well, let me tell you and Sonny, you make a perfect couple.

Sonny: All I care about is my child.

Carly: Well, I’ll let you know when it gets here.

Sonny: Now, we can do this easy or we can do it hard, but I will be part of my child’s life starting right now.

Edward: How do we know you aren’t lying, both of you?

Sonny: Why would I do that?

A.J.: The baby isn’t mine.

Edward: What?

Sonny: There you go.

A.J.: It’s not mine. I never that that it was. You know what? And neither did any of you. Not really. You all thought it was Jason’s. You wanted it to be Jason’s. Fine. I can deal with that. Jason took my kid, so I was going to raise his. I was actually looking forward to raising Jason’s child. But there’s no way in hell I’m going to raise yours, Sonny.

Sonny: You got that right.

A.J.: [Speaking to Carly.] You know, everyone, they all tried to warn me about you, you know, what a tramp you were, how you were going to ruin my life. I wouldn’t listen. I gave you a chance, and this is how you repay me? [He yells the last.]

Carly: I told you I didn’t want to be here.

A.J.: I don’t care what you want, Carly. I haven’t for a long time. You don’t belong here. You never really did. Yeah, sure, maybe you were a fit with Jason or this loser on a lean night. But you know what, baby? You ain’t good enough for me, no way. You’re not going to live in this house, and you are not going to raise my son. Now get out!

Carly: I'm not leaving without Michael.

A.J.: There’s no way you’re taking Michael from this house.

Carly: What’s it going to take to make you give up, A.J.? What else do I have to do to you?

Alan: Maybe tossing out Carly isn’t the best solution.

Monica: Are you on drugs again?

Alan: Well, what would have happened if I would have thrown you out the first time you slept with somebody...or the second or the third?

Monica: That’s different.

Edward: We have to consider Michael’s needs.

Carly: Michael needs me.

A.J.: Not another word, Carly. I mean it.

Monica: I'm not having her live in my house.

Edward: But nothing is as important as Michael.

Monica: What about A.J.? How do you expect him to live with this nightmare?

Alan: Whoever said that Carly was the best thing that happened to this family?

Edward: Oh, that’s your main concern, isn’t it? Trying to prove me wrong?

Sonny: My child will not be brought up like this and neither should Michael.

Carly: And why do you think I want out?

A.J.: Hey, who do you think you are, Sonny?

Sonny: Just take it easy for one second there, okay?

Monica: Or what, Sonny? You’ll shoot up the place?

Lila: Mr. Corinthos and Carly need a moment.

Alan: Mother, you have a gift for the understatement.

Lila: [To Sonny] Then I want you to leave.

Sonny: I will. I will, Mrs. Quartermaine. I’m sorry. I should have done better.

[They all start to leave.]

Edward: I don’t want you speaking to him.

Monica: I don’t know why I have to leave. It’s my house.

Alan: I gave it to you.

A.J.: Just be quiet.

Edward: A.J., why didn’t you see this coming? I told you all along that we were going to have...

Carly: You didn’t have to do this.

Sonny: Take care of that baby.

Carly: I would never hurt my...

Sonny: Don’t say anything. I’ll be back. Be here.

[He leaves.]
