"You Ready to Have a Great New Year's?"

Zander: Hey, Sonny. Alexis.

Alexis: Hi.

Sonny: Toasting the new year?

Carly: And Zander's new social life.

Sonny: Ah.

Alexis: Oh. Were you going to mention that to me?

Zander: It's no big deal.

[Sonny laughs]

Carly: I tried to fix zander up. I fixed him up with a date tonight, yet he's having second thoughts.

Zander: I just met her.

Carly: Hey, mandy liked you. She is gorgeous, she is smart. What do you have to lose?

Sonny: You know what -- if the lady's offering to help, it wouldn't be polite to turn her down.

Zander: All right, all right. I'll -- I'll give Mandy a call.

Carly: Good. Well, I got a lot of work to do on my club.

Sonny: What, you can't take the night off?

Carly: No, not if I want it to open on time.

Zander: Well, I'm -- I'm going to head out, too.

Sonny: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on.


Sonny: One second?

Alexis: Ok.

Sonny: Come here.

Zander: What's up? What's up?

Sonny: You need anything?

Zander: No, no, I'm cool, I'm fine.

Sonny: Show your date a good time.

Zander: No, Sonny, that's all right, I got it covered.

Sonny: No, no, no, no. You've earned it. You're keeping an eye on carly, doing a good job.

Zander: Well, it's not like, you know, it's been heavy labor.

Sonny: The point is I can count on you.

Zander: Well, you've done a lot for me, sonny. I owe you. You know, the least I can do is a favor in return.

Sonny: Oh, you don't want this to be about money?

Zander: Exactly, you know, because it's not, it's not.

Sonny: Ok, well, I tell you what -- consider this a New Year's bonus.

Zander: No, Sonny --

Sonny: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Enjoy yourself.

Zander: Thanks.

Sonny: You ready to have a great New Year's?

Alexis: I can't wait.

Sonny: Yeah?


Kristina: Do I really want to see this?

Ned: We don't want to miss the grand finale. Let's go.

Kristina: Oh, Lord.

Roy: I thought they'd never leave.

Melissa: Cheers.

Jax: Excuse me, did you see where that young woman went?

Sonny: What the hell did you do to that girl?

Jax: Nothing.

Sonny: Then why'd she leave?

Jax: What's the matter, Corinthos? You see a young woman you want to exploit?

Sonny: Answer me!

Jax: Stay out of this. It's none of your business.

Alexis: So was that girl --

Sonny: That's my sister. I'm going after her. You coming with me?

Alexis: I guess so. Otherwise, I'll be standing here by myself.

Sonny: All right, come on, let's go.


Janine: So, what, you just marched into that restaurant and told the Quartermaines the truth?

Courtney: I had to, Mom.

Janine: No, you didn't.

Courtney: You scammed an innocent person. It wasn't right!

Janine: Look, you do not understand.

Courtney: Ok, explain it.

Janine: No, you know what? Just go pack your bag. We got to get out of here tonight.

Courtney: What's the rush?

Janine: I could go to jail for this, Courtney.

Courtney: So you were just planning to skip town with the money and not say a word to clear Edward Quartermaine's name?

Janine: Edward Quartermaine is a wily old goat with a ton of money and this would have been a drop in the bucket for him.

Courtney: What is it with you, mom? You lie to me for years, tell me my own father is dead, and now this! How could you do it?

Janine: Baby, when you have a daughter of your own, you're going to understand.

Courtney: Try me now.

Janine: Look, I always wanted you to have a chance, a decent life, a decent house, nice clothes, a college education, options. Baby, we live from week to week. I work -- I work two jobs and I barely make enough to pay the rent and put food on the table. I saw an opportunity here to just give us a little cushion. Now, that money means nothing to the Quartermaines, but it could mean everything to us. So I went for it. And I'm not sorry. Now, you got to go pack your bags because we are getting out of here tonight.

Courtney: I'm not going.

Janine: Yeah, you are. You're going with me.

Sonny: No, she's not. You can stay with me.
