Jason: "What are you doing?"
Carly: "Taking care of my baby. How was your day?"
Jason: "Listen to me....STOP CARLY!" (Jason seeing through her act, grabs the pillow and throws it against the wall)"Do you have any idea what you have done?" (Carly just stares at him) "Are you gonna try to keep the act up? Are you gonna try that with me? You can't fool me!"
Carly: "NO, .. But you sure fooled me, didn't you? You must have thought I was so stupid."
Jason: (angry, pacing the room) "This was stupid, this was so STUPID!"
Carly: (gets up off the bed, her voice rising with every word) "You lied to me Jason, you said I was going home.....and I believed that.....you said that you were going to come and get me and take me home!"
Jason: "You know that was supposed to happen"
Carly: "Oh, OK, let me guess. At the last minute the judge suddenly reneged, he said I was going to have to stand trial after all. So what could you do right? But don't worry Carly, I've got Justus working on it and he is the BEST lawyer that there is. And NO WAY he is going to let you go to prison, you've got my word on that, and I've never LIED to you, have I? In fact, in fact Justus is going to make sure that everybody who was in the courtroom and saw me shoot Tony, either goes blind or they get amnesia about the day....." (Carly continues her tirade, as Jason listens, a cold hard expression on his face) "But don't worry, nothing to worry about really, just a couple more months, a couple more months. And what was going to happen then, Jason? What were you going to do when I was found guilty? OH, OH, Sorry that wasn't supposed to happen either, but that's OK, don't worry because I know a judge and we will win this on appeal. How long were you going to keep it up?" (Carly grabs Jason's arm and turns him to face her. He shows no emotion as she continues) "I mean did you really think I was going to sit and rot in prison while you and Robin raise MY SON? NO, Michael is MINE, he is MY SON. I am in here because I fought for him. Robin fought for Tony! Am I the only person who sees the irony is this? That she is going to end up with my son.....because she, she didn't give a damn about him that day in the courtroom. And you know why Jason? Because he was mine, he came from me and anything that comes from me has to be worthless.....Cheap White Trash! Robin wouldn't even have to say anything to Michael, he would just pick it up from the way she thought about me!" (Carly beginning to cry and pointing her finger at Jason) "Michael is mine and the fact that she can't have a baby is NOT my fault! You have NO Right to give her mine!"
Jason: "Now are you finished?" (Carly sighing, trying to regain her composure) "YOU blew it Carly!" (Carly laughing sarcastically) "YOU let the Quartermaine's and Dr. Jones, walk in here and feed you a bunch of bull, and you bought it! Didn't it even cross your mind that they were setting you up? That's the reason they came here, it was to turn you against me!" (Jason voice rises with each work, his anger completely evident) "What did you do, just act like you always do without even thinking about who lied to you and who didn't?"
Carly: "You know, you told me I wasn't going to stand trial.....
Jason: "You WEREN''T going to stand trial."
Carly: "NO, that's not what my shrink said.......No he, he came in here to give me a follow up, a last minute session, right a closure session before he signed the paperwork that was going to remand me for over for trial.....you know what he said to me Jason?"
Jason: (looking very irritated) "What?"
Carly: "He said that I was confused or misinformed if I thought I was going home"
Jason: "I told you that, I told you that was going to happen, that the psychiatrist would probably declare you sane, and as of yesterday your case would be switched to a judge that I did have a relationship with......instead of the old mans judge! Justus would off the new judge a plea to a lesser charge and he would let you out on time served! Do you remember me standing here and telling you that? DO YOU? You blew it!"
Carly: "Well did all of that happen?"
Jason: "YES, all that happened, except when Justus and I came to get you.....you had everyone convinced that you thought your pillow was Michael!"
Carly: (clearly taken aback by his statement) "What do you mean, came to get me? To take me home?"
Jason: (pulling a piece of paper out of his jacket and waves it at Carly) "HERE, right here, this is the court ordered release papers!" (He slams the paper down on the desk, clearly furious with Carly) "YOU were that close Carly!!" (indicating with his thumb and finger how close she was) "All you had to do was wait more 24 hrs, like I said! I had it all arranged.....but you had to LIE instead, you had to LIE! I promised Michael I would bring you home......I promised him that I would bring you home tonight. He is waiting for you. Why did you LIE?" (Carly sits on the bed clearly upset, realizing what she has done)
Carly: "I'm sorry......"
Jason: "NO, sorry can't get you home to Michael." Carly: "That's, OK, This is OK, I can fix this....I know how to fix this." (Jason stares at her, knowing she can't) "I'll just....uh....I'll go to my shrink, tell him I was faking, that the whole pillow thing was all an act......and when I explain why....."
Jason: (shakes his head, and in a calm voice) "NO, if you do that they will declare you sane and will put you on trial......and because of this whole pillow thing, you will go to prison."
(Doctor comes in the room, Carly quickly turns her back to him as he tells Jason he is only giving him 5 more minutes)
Carly: (clearly shaken by the turn of events) "Jason, what do I do, what do I do? Just tell me what to do.....I'll do whatever you say....I promise I'll NEVER not believe in you again!"
Jason: (sighs) "Carly, they are going to transfer you to a state mental hospital in Ferncliff."
Carly: "When?"
Jason: "As soon as I leave."
Carly: "Where is it?"
Jason: "It's about 6 hours away from here"
Carly: "Oh my God, Oh my God.......Jason I am so sorry.....look I'm so sorry....you've gotta fix this.....please you've gotta do something.....you can't let them take me"
Jason: "The first 2 months they are not going to let you have any visitors, not me, not Bobbie, not anybody. Because of the other people there, they don't allow kids, ever."
Carly: (sits on the bed, truly horrified at what is happening) "I'm going to be sick....what do I do? Can't you call someone?"
Jason: "We are out of legal ammo....."
Carly: (crying now) "Jason you can't give up on me.....you're all I have.....and Michael. Michael is going to think that I left him, like Bobbie, like I thought Bobbie left me.......so, so you have to tell him that I love him, you have to tell him like everyday, that I miss him, OK......you have to......promise me Jason?"
Jason: (kneels down beside Carly) "Carly....I'll tell him.....and I'll do what ever I can to get you out, but I can't guarantee it will be any time soon"
Carly: "Sorry......I thought you lied to me........Promise you won't give up on me, OK?"
Jason: "I promise Carly.....I promise I'll get you released and I'll get you back to Michael, no matter what."
Carly: "I promise....I will NEVER doubt you again."
Jason: "No matter how hard it gets, every day, every minute, you think about Michael, you hold it together for him OK?"
(Scene ends with Carly slowly nodding her head in agreement with Jason's request)
Closing Scene
(Scene opens with Jason holding Michael telling him about Carly)
Jason: "Saw Carly today, and its going to take more time than I thought to get her back....yeah...don't worry OK, she's coming home to you someday......"
(Scene fades to Carly being led out of her room, holding her pillow, Jason's voice can be heard as she is led away)
Jason: "Michael, I promise to get your mother back........."
