Luke looks at Laura's pictures
Laura comes to see Luke in his office
Laura asks Luke for some time off to spend more time with Scotty around Christmas
Luke says take as much time off as you want
Laura says "You're sure? You're not just..."... Lk - "Just saying that to try & make up for what I did
.......to you? No, Laura, I could never make up for that"
Luke tells Laura that Bobbie has been asking questions about the night Roy died & how he told Bobbie
.......that he had already taken her home before he went to Look Out Point
Laura wonders when the lies are ever gonna end... "Are you & I always gonna be bound together by
.......this network of lies?"
Bobbie wants to come back to work... She's bored... Jessie puts her back on duty because...
Monica has just fainted... The baby could be on it's way sooner than they thought
Scotty mentions to Lesley that Laura can't keep food down... Lesley says that doesn't mean she's pregnant

-----------------
Richard Simmons Excerise Class
Claudia asks Laura if she' had her period yet... Laura says no
Dana Hochkins is back in town... Laura is going to make an appointment to see her
Laura comes to see Luke in his office
Laura says "I've come to a decision. And I wanted you t know about it first"... Lk - "Ok"... Lra - "Luke,
.......ever since that night I have lied to Scotty & I go on lying because I have to. But now, you see, you're
.......getting me involved in a whole new bunch of lies & sometimes I wonder if they're ever gonna stop or
.......if they're gonna keep piling up & piling up until we never get out from under them"... Lk - "Laura,
.......what brings this up?"... Lra - "You're sister. I want to help Bobbie get her life going again"...
.......Lk - "Well, that's fine. How are you going to do that?"... Lra - "She deserves to know the truth"...
.......Lk- "About Roy?"... Lra - "Yes. Yes, I want her to know that you really tried to save Roy the night that
.......he was killed & that it was my fault that you didn't. That ought to make things right again between you
.......& Bobbie"... Lk - "Look, Laura..."... Lra - "No, no. Now you can't pretend with me. There is a
.......coldness between the two of you now, I've seen it. There's a strain. Bobbie lost the man that she loves
.......on Election night & the fault is mine. It is mine entirely"... Lk - "Laura, look, it's not your problem"...
.......Lra - "No, it's alright! I am ready to take the blame"... Lk - "It's NOT ALRIGHT YOU LITTLE
.......FOOL!! What you're gonna do is keep your mouth shut!! Now I've already lied to Bobbie, you're
.......NOT gonna tell her the truth now! You forget it! You forget you threw thows keys over the cliff!
.......That's our secret! That's between you and me and Bobbie is never gonna know about it! I'm not gonna
.......talk to you about this anymore, Laura! Now get out of here!!"
.......[Luke opens the door... Bobbie is standing right there!!]
Bobbie says "Luke you better soundproof the walls of your office or else stop yelling at people"...
.......Lk - "How long have you been standing out there?"... B - "Just a moment. Laura, was Luke yelling at
.......you?"... Lra - "I'm afraid so, Bobbie. I guess I got him angry at me"... B - "Well, Luke, how could
.......you? I had now idea you were speaking to Laura that way"... Lk - "You didn't hear what we were
.......saying"... Lra - "Luke I have to tell her the truth! Bobbie I almost told you when we were in the Powder
.......Room, but I wasn't sure if I should or not, so I came back here to tell Luke first"... B - "What are you
.......talking about?"... Lra - "It's about Roy's death... and Me. Do you mind if I talk about it?"... B - "No,
.......go ahead"... Lk - "Laura I"m warning you. Please"... Lra - "Bobbie, maybe you're gonna hate me for
.......this, but what I just told Luke was that if he hadn't had to drive me home that night the way Scotty had
.......asked him to that he probably would have gotten to the Plaza Hotel in time to stop Roy from trying to
.......kill Mitch Williams"... B - "Luke, now why didn't you just tell Laura that she's not to blame instead of
.......shouting at her. Laura, Roy's death wasn't your fault in any way"... Lk - "That's why I was yelling.
.......What she was saying was ridiculous and I didn't want her to go off on a guilt trip"... B - "Well, no, of
.......course not" [Amy comes in & Laura leaves with her for school]
Bobbie says "Ok Luke, you can drop the act. Now I want the truth about the car keys and why you were up
.......on Look Out Point with Laura, because I heard EVERYTHING!!"
Bobbie says "Luke you have lied to me from time to time & I have never held it against you. We learned to
.......lie as a part of life. We didn't have any choice. But now I find out that Laura Webber Baldwin is a liar
.......to. She can lie with the best of them. She's just as common & low as we are"... Lk - "Look, I've had
.......enough of this"... B - "I guess she has her revenge for all of the dirty tricks I played on her & Scotty.
.......God knows I did play enough of them when I was trying to get him away from her. I just hope the little
.......tramp feels REAL good now that she's killed Roy"... Lk - "Who are you calling a tramp? You , Ruby,
.......Me, even Roy... we're not fit to stand in the same room with her. And you'd love to drag her down into
.......the muck we live in, wouldn't you? But you can't do it, Bobbie, because of me! Maybe the only reason
.......I'm still alive, maybe the only thing I'm good for, is to make sure that Laura never gets hurt again!"...
.......B - "It's Laura! Luke. It's Laura isn't it?"... Lk - "What are you talking about?"... B - "You're in love
.......with Laura! You've been in love with Laura for months! You planned the whole thing! You made Roy
.......pay so you could continue your affair with Laura!!!!" [Bobbie is hitting Luke... Luke slaps Bobbie]
Luke says "Bobbie I"m sorry"... B - "Yeah"... Lk - "You were getting hysterical"... B - "I know"... Lk - "I
.......didn't mean to lay a hand on you, I just couldn't let you say those things about Laura"... B - "Well, I
.......guess I did get pretty rough"... Lk - "You're wrong about her you know"... B - "Am I?!"... Lk - "Yes
.......you are. You're dead wrong. Bobbie, Laura's the only good thing I've ever had in my life. And she's
.......not even in my life! She's not even in my world. She's so far above us... Elm Street... Bobbie, she's
.......like a dream. And I dream about her all the time. About holding her & being with her the more I wake
.......up. And I realize I poisoned her. Bobbie there's this sickness in me. I get this longing to have her as
.......my woman. I sit at this desk for hours looking at these old photographs of her. And that's why I hit
.......you. I love you, but I can hate you just as strongly if you try to hurt her. I guess I'm poisoning my
.......own world too"... B - "No, Luke, you're not the one that's poisoning your world!"... Lk - "Well,
.......somebody is"... B- "Laura is!"... Lk - "Don't get stupid"... B - "Luke, I'm not getting stupid. I've
.......been listening to the things you've been saying. I don't think you've been listening to yourself. Could
.......you be the man? Tall... blond... and slim!! Could you be the man who raped Laura?"
.......[Luke storms out]
------------------
Bobbie goes to see Ruby... She says she doesn't trust Luke anymore... Says he sold Roy out
Bobbie says "I happen to know that Luke is head over heels in love with a girl. And he would do anything
.......in the world to get next to her and in order to get next to her he had to make sure he stayed alive"...
.......Ruby - "He has a girl? I told him to find a girl & settle down"... B - "He found her alright. And she's
.......somebody I HATE more than I ever thought I could hate anybody"... R - "Bobbie!"... B - "It's the
.......truth!"... R - "Well, who is it?"... B - "Laura Baldwin!"... R - "Laura Baldwin? She's married!"...
.......B - "I didn't say that she was in love with Luke, I said that Luke was in love with her. He'll probably
.......never get her. And for his sake, I hope he doesn't. Because I have a feeling she's the one that's
.......responsible for Roy's death"... R - "Well, that's just crazy, how could she have anything to do with
.......this?"... B - "That night, election night, Laura was parked with Luke up on Look Out Mountain. She
.......took his keys out of the car & she threw them over the cliff so that Luke couldn't get to the Hotel in
.......time, so Roy ended up getting killed instead of Luke"... R - "You're making it up, it's not true, it
.......couldn't be!"... B - "Ok, if you don't believe me then you ask Luke because that's exactly what happened
.......Ruby"... R - "How do you know?!"... B - "I heard them talking about it"... R - "You mean Laura knew
.......what was gonna happen that evening & she knew about Luke & Roy & everything?"... B - "I don't know.
.......I don't know how much she knew. But I do know that she made it happen and I'll get her for it someday.
.......She sold Roy out. I'm gonna make her regret it!"
Bobbie doesn't want to keep the money in Roy's Safe Deposit Box ("Might be blood money")
Scotty takes Bobbie to see Roy's Safe Deposit Box (Contents... Letter to Bobbie... Some Cash)
Bobbie read Roy's letter (Says she's the only girl he ever really loved... left $5,000 for her)
Bobbie says "This letter makes it seem real"... Scty - "I'm sorry"... B - "Don't worry. The person who's
.......responsible for what happened to Roy, the person who's responsible for killing Roy, is going to pay
.......some day. It's a promise I made to myself. And to Roy"
------------------
Laura (at the Disco) tells Scotty she's going to see Dana to take her follow up pregnancy test
Laura tells Scotty that she's almost a month late with her period
Scotty is furious that she hasn't told her this sooner
Luke walks in & hears...
Scotty says "If you are pregnant by the guy that raped you, now something's gotta be done about that & it's gotta
.......be done now!"
Luke turns around & leaves the room
Scotty wants to take Laura to her Mother's... but he is called away... Asks Luke to tell Laura he had to leave
Edward asks Alan what he knows about Luke Spencer (Wonders if there is any connection between Luke & Roy)
Alan says Joe wonders how Luke would know that now Mitch is safe... as he told them... He must be involved too
Luke says "Uh, Laura, Scotty asked me to tell you that he couldn't wait to drive you wherever you're going"...
.......Lra - "Why not?"... Lk - "Well, his father had to go to court. Scotty wanted to watch the office. He said he
.......couldn't take the time to tell you himself"... Lra - "Alright. Thankyou"... [Laura starts to leave] Lk - "Uh, wait
.......a second"... Lra - "What?"... Lk - "As long as we have a minute alone together, I want to talk to you"...
.......Lra - "About what?" [The Phone Rings]
Laura says she's gotta go, but Luke says please wait "there's something we gotta talk about"
Dr Hardy wants to see Bobbie... This worries Bobbie
Laura says "Luke, I'm supposed to meet my Mother downtown for an appointment, now if I gotta take a bus downtown
.......then I really better get going, I don't wanna leave my Mother standing on some street corner waiting for me"...
.......Lk - "I'll drive you"... Lra - "No, no, you haven't got anybody to take over for you here. I can manage just fine"...
.......Lk - "I take it you're not going to school today?"... Lra - "No, I'm not. My Mother & I are gonna do some Christmas
.......shopping instead. I have a light schedule at the University today, so I decided to cut my classes"... Lk - "I see"...
.......Lra - "So what did you want to talk to me about?"... Lk - "Christmas shopping, huh?"... Lra - "Yeah!"... Lk - "I
.......guess the jolly season's almost on us. Laura are you going shopping before or after your appointment with Dana
.......Hochkins?"... [Laura is taken aback] Lra - "You heard me talking to Scotty earlier"... Lk - "Yes"... Lra - "I was
.......afraid of that"... Lk - "Could you be pregnant?"... Lra - "NO! No, I'm not. I'm just a little bit late, that's all"...
.......Lk - "That isn't what you told your husband. Why did you wait until now to tell him? Laura? Could it be my baby?"
.......[Laura runs off]
Bobbie goes to see Dr Hardy
Dr Hardy asks if Bobbie would like to be a teaching assistant for Audrey in her Nursing Classes
Bobbie wonders if this is the Boards way of keeping her out of site of the public
Laura tries to leave the Disco... Luke gets infront of her
Luke says "Laura, you didn't answer my question. Could it be my child? The thought of it makes you sick, doesn't it?
.......That's why you ran out of here"... Lra - "I can't talk now, I have to meet my Mother"... Lk - "Laura, you will talk
.......now because we have to get this straight. If you are pregnant"... Lra - "I'm not!"... Lk - "If you are, could it be my
.......kid?"... Lra - "Of course not!"... Lk - "How can you be sure?"... Lra - "Because I would rather DIE than have your
.......child! You have no right asking me questions about something this personal, you have no right"... Lk - "What do
.......you mean 'I have no right'!!"... Lra - "You have no right AT ALL!!"... Lk - "Maybe it concerns me just as much as
.......it does you!"... Lra - "What? You think because I work here, you own me or something"... Lk - "No, because if
.......you're pregnant, I am concerned"... Lra - "Well, it's a little bit late for that isn't?!"... Lk - "Laura, look, if you're
.......pregnant, I wanna help you. I can do..."... Lra - "What if I AM pregnant?"... Lk - "Then what are you gonna do?
.......Ask for a legal abortion?"... Lra - "It's a beautiful thought, isn't it? Getting pregnant as the result of rape intitles
.......the girl to get a legal abortion. I can just get rid of it & come out smiling & say to myself that it was all perfectly
.......legal. I don't have to feel quilty, or sorry, or as if I'm a murderer. I don't have to wonder what it might have
.......been like to be in love with my husband & feel the excitement & the wonder of missing a period & just maybe having
.......a new life growing inside of me. Don't you see what you've done to me? You have taken away all the joy & all the
.......beauty. All that's left now is ugliness. And fear & dirt & knowing that I'm never going to be the same girl again.
.......Never! I am never gonna be clean again! Ever!!" [Laura leaves] [Luke smashes a bottle]
Jessie joins Bobbie's meeting with Steve & Audrey
Steve says that it was just an offer to make things easier for Bobbie (ie to keep her out of the lime light)
Bobbie says she's worked hard to be a nurse... But she decides to switch to the Teaching staff, temporarily
Bobbie tells Anne that she's too much trouble to GH... Tells Anne to tell Jessie that she's decided to quit her job at GH
As Bobbie leaves the Hospital, she runs into Laura
Laura says "What's wrong?"... Bobb - "I thought you might like to know that Roy was only worth $5,000 dead. That's
.......all he left. Howard wants me to take the money, but I don't think I can. It's kind of funny to stop & think that the
.......man you loved & wanted to marry was only worth $5,000 dead. He was worth a whole lot more alive. At least
.......to me he was"
Anne gives Jessie Bobbie's message (Jessie says Bobbie can't quit)
Laura changes her mind & doesn't feel like keeping her appointment with Dana
--------------------
Jeff comes to see Bobbie to tries & talk some sense into her
Laura remembers [Flashback] Monica talking to her about feeling guilty about knowing the man who rape her
Scotty calls Laura & wants to know why she missed her appointment with Dana
Laura says she'll go when she feels like & hangs up!
Lesley comes to see Laura... Wants to know why Laura didn't keep her appointment
Bobbie says she quit because she doesn't think it's fair for Steve to have to keep defending her
Jeff tells Bobbie that that's what Steve loves to do best... Stand up for the people he believes in
Lee thinks Laura needs someone who has been "through the mill" to talk to... Volunteers himself
Scotty tells Lee about Laura maybe being pregnant
IRS has cleared Roy's money for Bobbie to keep (Howard tells Scotty)
The Board was totally behind Bobbie
Laura goes to see Dana for her pregnancy test
Lee tells Lesley that he wants to talk to Laura
Lee talks to Laura.. Tells her that he doesn't think she should go to the Rape Center for group therapy
Lee says if she doesn't go willingly they won't do her any good
Lee says he will support her if she REALLY doesn't want to go
Laura is so happy to have someone on her side... Lee says he does know how she feels
Jessie tells Bobbie that she got a "unanimous vote of confidence" from the Board... Bobbie is very happy
Scotty & Howard tell Bobbie that the letter Roy wrote is legal & she gets to keep the $5,000
Bobbie says the only way she will take it is if she can donate it to the Peter Taylor Memorial Scholarship Fund
Jessie says that's wonderful, & she wants to match that gift also
------------------
Luke gives Ruby $220 to go out & buy something "absolutely foolish... that you always wanted"
Luke shows off his classy suit
Luke wants to help make things up to Bobbie
Just then, Bobbie comes & tells Ruby how GH stood behind her
Luke tells Bobbi that he's gonna take care of her from now on... Anything she wants.... He's got lots of money
Bobbie says she doesn't want his money... Tells him how she donated Roy's money... Luke says she's insane
Bobbie says "Well then, let me explain, Brother dear. I didn't want to keep Roy's money, because I didn't know
.......how he earned it"... Lk - "Oh yeah, Roy's money would soil your lilly white hands"... B - "That's right,
.......Luke!"... Lk - "Ok, what about my money?"... B -"I told you, I'm not gonna touch your money"...
.......Lk - "Why?"... B - "Because I don't need it, Luke, because I have my job & I have a very good salary. And
.......because you probably got it the same way Roy did"... Lk - "And how is that?"... B - "From those people.
.......Like Smith and Watson. From those underworld people"... Lk - "Alright, you watch yourself, Bobbie"...
.......B - "I"m sorry Luke, but that's how I feel. Now I think you better go before we both say something that we
.......can never forget"... Lk - "That's the only sensible thing you've said so far, Sister" [Luke leaves]
Ruby says Luke was only trying to make Bobbie happy
Bobbie says "Ruby, no, don't tell me that because Luke was trying to buy me off!" ("Concience money")
Bobbie says that Luke has all this money because he's been payed off by the Organization.... Luke is in the
.......inside now... They have to keep him happy... He knows too much (Ie Mitch is in the org's pocket)
Luke goes to the Floating Rib for a drink (Susan says of course he's welcome there... "It's a free country"...
.......Lk - "Not for everybody, Susan")
Tracy, Edward & Mitch come into the Floating Rib (Mitch & Luke see each other... as Joe watches them both)
Mitch tells Susan to call Bobbie & tell her that Luke is there & in a bad mood
Joe goes over to Luke & says "How come you're not over with the Williams party?"... Lk - "What is that
.......supposed to mean?"... J - "Well, word has it that you & Mitch Williams are pretty buddy buddy now.
.......[Luke gets up & grabs Joe by the Jacket] Hey, we are in a public place"... Lk - "You should have
.......thought of that before you opened your stupid mouth!"... J - "The people you're working for are not
.......gonna appreciate reading about the brawl you're about to be in if you don't tak your hands off me"...
.......Lk - "Alright, alright. You just listen me out first"... J - "I"m listening"... Lk - "Mitch Williams is
.......a slimmy two faced scum and I hate his GUTS for what he did to Roy DiLucca"
Bobbie comes in & says "Luke! Joe please go back to your table" [Luke lets go of Joe]
Bobbie says "What are you doing here?"... Lk - "Chatting. Having a drink"... B - "Look, Luke, I am sorry
.......about what happened at Ruby's. I didn't mean to reject you. Just the money"... Lk - "Just me money?"...
.......B - "Well, I can't help it, that's the way I feel. So why don't you try to humor me, ok?"... Lk - "Yeah
.......why don't you humor me & take a hike"... B - "Luke, look I realize that I shouldn't have said all those
.......things to you, but I get really scared sometimes when I think..."....Lk - "Oh Bobbie, get the hell out of
.......here!"... B - "Ok, Luke I'm going, but I'm gonna tell you something. I got a score to settle"...
.......Lk - "Oh yeah, with whom?"... B - "Laura Baldwin. Because if she hadn't thrown you keys off the
.......cliff you wouldn't be this way & Roy wouldn't be dead. And I'm gonna make her pay for it!"...
.......[Luke grabs Bobbie] Lk - "Wait a minute. Don't you EVER again in you LIFE say a word against Laura,
.......you hear me! Do you understand? Because someday, little sister, she's going to be mine!"
Bobbie leaves (She tells Mitch to "drop dead" on the way out)
Jeff comes into the Rib, Susan asks him to help her with Luke
Jeff sits with Luke... Luke buys him a drink... They drink to Roy
Luke says it's his fault that Roy is dead... Says he should have taken Roy's threats for revenge seriously
Luke tells Jeff that he's going to "belong here" in town (Like the Quartermaines & the Webbers)
Luke says "You see this guy over here. This is Joe Kelly. This guy was born on the Riverfront. A guy like
.......me, I'm born in the slums of Elm Street. We never make it to the top. We never get to be the Mitch
.......Williams who marries Tracy Quartermaine, We never to be the Scott Baldwin who marries Laura. It
.......aint in the cards. No matter how you try to stack 'em, it aint in the cards"
Luke says how about they go to his Disco... They leave
