Can't Afford to Be Involved in This"

Jerry:
I should shoot you and dump your body on Sonny's doorstep for this.
Ian:
You don't want to really ruin this nice new car smell with a dead
body no, do you?
Jerry:
You were supposed to shoot Sonny, not his offspring. And now he's
going to hang bodies like so many pelts for this. But I could deliver
you to him and be a hero. You see, dead men don't point fingers.
Ian:
This one would. You drop me on Sonny's doorstep, and he's going
to know that you were involved in the shooting and so will your
brother.
Ian:
If you're going to shoot, shoot. Otherwise, the people at G.H. are
going to be suspicious. I either have to be dead or on duty.
Jerry:
I can't afford to be involved in this.
Ian:
Then I guess you can't afford to pull that trigger either, can you?
Jerry:
You're right.
[Chuckles]
Ian:
[Groans] What the hell?
Jerry:
Now, when you return to G.H., I suggest that you submit your resignation
and move on. If Sonny Corinthos or Jason Morgan even have the slightest
hint that you shot Michael, you'll be dead anyway.
Ian:
No one is going to suspect me. I'm just a humble healer at the local
hospital.
Jerry:
As well as a drug smuggler, among other things.
Ian:
Oh, let's not start calling names, shall we, Mr. Craig, Mr. Moreau,
Mr. Jacks, whatever the hell --
Jerry:
Spare me the litany of sins! I know what I've done. I'm just a little
surprised that you're not a little more remorseful about shooting
a young boy.
Ian:
Michael's a child that still can be saved. The best thing for us
to do is just to calm down and let this all blow over.
Jerry:
Oh, please. Claudia Zacchara knows that you shot Michael. If Sonny
and Jason try to accuse that precious little brother, you will be
the first one that she throws under the bus to save him. Oh, and
you might want to have someone take a look at that cheek. You're
going to have a nasty bruise tomorrow, okay? Get out. Out!
Johnny:
So you just assume I'm responsible for Michaels shooting.
Trevor:
Well, Sonny's not going to bother to find out who really did this.
He's going to go after you because he wants to. My advice -- get
to him first. Tell him you had nothing to do with this and it was
all Claudia.
Johnny:
So you just want me to feed my sister to Sonny.
Trevor:
Yeah, she's the logical choice. She's Anthony Zacchara's nut job
of a daughter. She's got murder and mayhem running in the family
veins.
Johnny:
That's not going to happen, pal.
Trevor:
Then you are a fool and a walking dead man, because you got nobody
else to point the finger at.
Johnny:
How about we feed Sonny the person who's really responsible for
this? The coward who's been trying to cover his butt this whole
time? You.
Johnny:
For months you've been trying to push me to start a war with Sonny.
Take out Jason Morgan and now that you own the Alcazar property
--
Claudia:
You're so worried that Sonny's going to waste you that you try to
take him out first?
Johnny:
But it went wrong. A little boy accidentally got shot and you're
trying to pin it on Claudia.
Claudia:
Like the slimy coward that you are.
Trevor:
That's not what happened. It wasn't me.
Claudia:
Oh, really?
Johnny:
You had means, motive, opportunity. The idea of dancing on Sonny's
grave just gets you off. I can't count the amount of times I heard
you say you want Sonny dead.
Alexis:
Would you like to swear to that in a court of law, Mr. Zacchara?
Johnny:
If you want to arrest Trevor for the shooting tonight, I'd be happy
to testify.
Trevor:
Ms. Davis, John doesn't have any facts to back that up. So please
reconsider, son. A mistake like that can come to snowball back on
you.
Johnny:
Trevor hates Sonny. Over and over again, day and night, I can't
tell you how many times I've heard him say he wants Sonny dead.
Alexis:
So why do you think he would choose tonight to act on that?
Johnny:
Because Trevor just became proud owner of the Alcazar waterfront
properties. He figured Sonny would come after him, so Trevor took
a preemptive strike.
Trevor:
You know what, Ms. Davis? I have a solid alibi. I was having drinks
with the mayor at "Club 10." Check it out.
Alexis:
I will. And what about you? Would you like to add anything?
Claudia:
My brother is absolutely right. Trevor has been gunning to kill
Sonny for months.
Trevor:
Ms. Davis, arrest me or I'm going to leave the hospital.
Alexis:
Just don't leave Port Charles.
Alexis:
If this is your way of trying to resolve a personal vendetta with
Trevor, find another resolution. You don't compromise my investigation,
is that clear? Whoever did this to Michael will be prosecuted to
the full extent of the law, personally and passionately, by me.
I say that as the D.A. and as a mother.
Claudia:
Thank you, John --
Johnny:
Dont. If Trevor says he has an alibi, he'll have one. All
I did was buy us time. In the meantime, you fix this. You've got
one chance, or I go to Sonny myself and tell him that I'm responsible
for this.
