Carly: "Jason look, you don't know the half of it, alright? I have been blackmailed. Pushed around and yelled at for the last couple of months, just trying to make things right for my baby. And there's no way I'm going to give up now."
Jason: "It never occured to you that you might get caught?"
Carly: "Yeah. Of course it did, that's all I thought about. But, I guess somewhere in the back of my twisted mind I thought if.....if I did, it would be different. That Tony would see what I had done to keep us together. To hold on to what we had and he would be angry, but he would love me for it too. Well that didn't happen and this did instead and this sounds totally, I know, crazy. They want to take my baby from me Jason. And if I don't do something, they will. If I let them then I'm no better than BOBBIE!!! Say something....please."
Jason: "Well if you need to get married I gotta tell you I'm kinda busy right now."
Carly: "No. I don't need to get married. I'm sick of wanting to get married. Look where that got me."
Jason: "So what do I care what you say to Dr. Jones and A.J. about me?"
Carly: "Then it's okay with you?"
Jason: "Yeah. Don't expect them to believe you."
Carly: "Why not?"
Jason: "They can count right?" (Carly nods her head) "You got pregnant long before Robin left for Paris."
Carly: "Actually, that already came up. Please don't be insulted. I would never tell anyone that you and Robin weren't the real thing. But, I told Tony that you were in love with Robin, and having sex with me." (Jason just stares at Carly) "It's not totally a lie, if you knock off a year and a half. It's almost true."
Jason: "Carly, when the baby's born....."
Carly: "No. I know, I know they'll want to do blood tests, and what have you, and the jig will be up, but at least I have between now and then to figure out what the hell I'm going to do."
Jason: "What about A.J.? He never walked in on us together."
Carly: "No, but if you tell him....."
Jason: "Tell him what?"
Carly: "What we'd been talking about, that you and I slept together. Jason, look. I realize that this is more than I have the right to ask of you or anybody."
Jason: "It's not that I, I don't mind helping out."
Carly: "Well, then what?"
Jason: (smiles and laughs) "You're great. You really are, the way you make up all this stuff and make people believe it. I couldn't do it."
Carly: "Yes you could. You see. Why? Why? Because of A.J.?"
Jason: (walks back to the couch) "I'm not good at telling stories. Carly, I'm not even good at listening to them. If they happend to me I could tell them. If it didn't.....forget it. Now you can say whatever you want to about me to anybody you want. But don't ask me to."

Jason: "Look if there's anything else I can do for you I will. If you need money, a lawyer, a place to stay."
Carly: "Can I stay here?"
Jason: "What?"
Carly: "I mean just for a little while. It looks like you got plenty of room."
Jason: "Well, keep in mind just last week somebody got shot for being in the same place I was."
Carly: "Yeah. I think I rather get shot than be hounded by A.J. and Tony."
Jason: "No. Don't say that."
Carly: "I'm just joking. Yeah, but you're on the top floor. You got a guard at the door. I feel safer here than any place else."
Jason: "Okay."
Carly: "Thank you. You must think I'm totally crazy."
Jason: "You never get away with anything. But you always try and I have to admire that. Most people would give up, but you never do."
Carly: "Well, maybe A.J. and Tony are right about me. Maybe I'll make a horrible mother, but I'm pretty damn sure I'm not going to be the most horrible mother that ever lived. They want to snatch my baby out of my arms the minute that it's born if not before. I can't let that happen."
Jason: "I-I don't get it. They already got to have sex with you. What more do they want?" (Carly laughs) "A baby is a person. Look.....I got some calls to make. You want to take a shower?" (Carly nods her head) "There are plenty of bathrobes in the closet upstairs."(Jason walks away)
Carly: (walking towards Jason) "Jason. Jason. Okay, if I say that you are my baby's father, and nobody asks you if its true. Would you have to deny it?"
Jason: "If nobody asks.....I don't have to say anything. But somebody will."
Carly: "Maybe. But we could have a deal until then. You just let me do all the lying. I am very good at it, and you don't deny it. How would that be?"
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Jason: "You can stay in Stone's room. It's the last one on the left. I stay down on the couch anyway."
Carly: "Why the couch?"
Jason: "Because if I go to sleep, I don't have to get up."
Carly: "Oh, well.....Jason, you didn't answer my question."
Jason: "About what? If you lie and I don't?" (Carly shakes her head yes) "Get this straight. You say whatever about me and your baby as long as I don't have to make stuff up. That's what I don't like. That's what makes my face hot like I'm getting sick. I can't do it okay? So if anybody asks if the kid is mine.....I have to say no, because I don't know what else to say. Until then you're fine."
Carly: "I can work with that."
Jason: "And anything else I can do for you I will."
Carly: "God. If I didn't have you.....I'd hate to think. Thank you. I will try not to be in the way."
Jason: "It will be nice. Company."
Carly: "My legs hurt so bad. I just feel like I've been running for a thousand years."
Jason: "Everythings going to be okay now."
Carly: "For a couple of weeks."
Jason: "If nobody shoots us."
Carly laughs
