(Scene 5 - the setting: the PCPD. Robin is there to see Mac, and to find out if there are any clues to the Chloe Morgan hit and run)
Robin: "Hey Mac!"
Mac: "Robin!" (He hugs her tightly) "It seems like I haven't seen you in forever!"
Robin (pondering what Mac just said): "Funny, I feel the same way about you, I wonder why that is..."
Mac (huge smile on his face): "Beats me! I'm just glad to see you!"
Robin: "Thanks ... but I'm here on official business..."
Mac (interrupting): "The Chloe Morgan case?"
Robin: "Yeah. Any leads?"
Mac (looks to the door as Taggert enters): "Well, there's the man you have to ask!" (motioning to Taggert) "Hey Taggert! Come over here!"
Taggert (walking over, smiling flirtatiously): "Hello Miss Scorpio, what can I help you with this afternoon?"
Robin (smiles back): "I think you know..."
Taggert (face bright red, whispering): "I can't believe you'd say that in front of your uncle."
Robin (offended): "Not that! The Chloe Morgan case! Any leads?"
Taggert (breathing a sigh of relief): "Oh, that. No, nothing yet. Are you still working with that speedo freak?"
Robin: "I haven't had any better offers..."
Taggert: "Why don't you come and work here? You can partner with V."
Robin (curiously): "V? When did she get back?"
Mac: "Last week, and we're so grateful to have her back!"
Robin (thinking): "Last week, huh? Hmm ... Well, tell V that I say hi, and I'll be by to see her soon."
Mac: "Will do!"
Robin: "See ya."
Mac: "Bye!"
(Robin exits the scene, and Taggert looks at Mac, who's expression hasn't changed)
Taggert: "Why are you always so enthusiastic?"
Mac: "Enthusiastic? I'm not enthusiastic!"
(Taggert shakes his head and exits Mac's office, leaving the commissioner with a goofy grin on his face)
~~The Hospital~~
(Juan and Emily are sitting on the couch, waiting to meet up with Nik and Liz)
Juan: "Now girlfriend, do you really think I have what it takes to be a singer?"
Emily: "Of course boyfriend! I know talent when I see it, and my boyfriend has it."
Juan: "Only because you inspire me girlfriend..."
(As Emily and Juan continue talking, the people walking by and overhearing them are running to the bathroom, covering their mouths. Liz and Nik notice this as they approach)
Nik: "Hey guys! You weren't, by any chance, discussing Juan's singing career, were you?"
Emily: "Who?"
Liz (looks at a confused Nik, then at Emily): "Your boyfriend. You weren't discussing his singing career, were you?"
Emily: "Oh that! Yeah, we were discussing it, how'd you know?"
Nik (looks at the people emerging from the washrooms): "Lucky guess."
Juan: "Why did you want to meeet us heere?"
Liz (looks to Emily): "Did someone approach you yesterday? Acting like he knew you?"
Emily: "That guy! Yeah! He was looking for you..."
Nik: "Well, he found her."
Liz: "For some reason, he's familiar to me, but I can't quite put my finger on it..."
Nik: "Well, as long as he doesn't want to be your boyfriend, he's okay by me."
Liz (turns to Nik): "What?"
Nik: "Nothing."
Emily: "Do you think he's following you around?"
Liz: "I'm not sure..."
Nik: "He can't! That's my job!"
Liz (again looks at Nik): "What are you talking about?"
Nik (turning a little red): "Nothing."
Liz (whispers to Emily): "Boy, his personality sure has changed since the plastic surgery."
Emily (whispering back): "Tell me about it." (Talking louder, to the group) "Let's keep each other posted. If we see him, we'll let you know. And vise versa, okay?"
Liz: "Okay. Thanks guys."
Emily: "You're welcome."
Juan: "I hate to lee-ve you girlfriend, but I neeed to seee my father."
Emily (smiling): "Okay, goodbye boyfriend."
Juan (smiling back): "Goodbye girlfriend."
(Again there's a mad rush to the washrooms, with Liz and Nik joining in)
~~Chloe's room~~
(Jaxman is sitting my Chloe's bed, begging her to wake up)
Jaxman: "Chlo-ee, you must wake up dammit! You neeed to tell mee that Corinthos and Morgan are the culprits. I must make them pay dammit!"
Juan (entering the room): "I bee-leeve you will make them pay father."
Jaxman: "Thanks dammit!"
Juan: "Which reeminds mee ... it's been a while since you've sent mee to Hannah's place, you know, to lee-ve her the Nancy Drew books, the toy yacht, the tripod..."
Jaxman: "You did lee-ve her that stuff, right dammit?"
Juan: "Yeah, but, it's beeen a while."
Jaxman: "You are correct dammit! I have been neglecting my precious Brender! I will make up for it dammit!"
(Jaxman pulls his cell phone from his speedos, as Juan looks on, in awe)
Juan: "Father, can you tee-ch mee that trick?"
Jaxman: "Maybe when you are older dammit! I cannot let Corinthos win dammit!"
(Jaxman starts dialing, as Juan wonders who he is calling. The scene ends)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Scene 6 - the setting. The PCPD. Robin has arrived to meet with V, and is greeted by Taggert)
Taggert (smiling): "Well, well, well ... couldn't stay away for long, could you?"
Robin (shaking her head): "Actually, I'm here to see V. Is she around?"
Taggert: "Well, I can let her know you're here, as long as you do something for me."
Robin: "I'm almost afraid to ask..."
Taggert: "It's not that bad, really. Just go out with me, that's all."
(Robin begins to ponder Taggert's request, when she sees Jason being led into the station in handcuffs)
Robin: "Jason! What are you doing here?"
(Jason stares straight ahead, saying nothing)
Robin: "Jason? It's me, Robin. Remember, you can talk to me."
Jason (shaking his head): "I'm sorry. Sometimes it gets confusing trying to remember who I'm allowed to talk to, and who I can't talk to."
Robin: "That's ok. Why are you here?"
(Jason stares ahead, saying nothing)
Robin (shaking her head): "It's still me Jason."
Jason: "Oh yeah. Sorry. I'm not sure why I'm here."
(Robin looks over at Taggert, who is grinning from ear to ear)
Robin: "I should have known. You'll never change, will you Taggert? Bringing people in here and harassing them with no reason."
Taggert: "But I have a reason!"
Robin: "I'd like to hear it."
Taggert: "He called me 'baldy'."
(Robin shakes her head and walks away)
Taggert: "Wait! You didn't answer my question!"
Robin: "And I'm not going to. I guess you'll never know my answer. I'm going to find V myself."
(Robin exits the scene and Taggert stands, a look of disappointment on his face)
~~The Hospital~~
(Juan and Jaxman are still in Chloe's room. Juan's curiosity about who Jaxman called is eating him up)
Juan: "Father, who did you call?"
Jaxman: "You will find out soon dammit! They should bee heere any minute!"
Juan: "Pleese tell mee father, it is driving mee craz-ee!"
(Suddenly, there is a knock on the door)
Jaxman (to Juan): "That must be them." (Shouting) "Come in dammit!"
(Two men walk into the hospital room)
Man 1: "Um, thanks dammit."
(Jaxman looks up at them, confused)
Jaxman: "Who the hell are you guys dammit?"
Man 2: "We're Air Supply!"
Jaxman: "What? Chlo-ee does not need more air dammit! She needs to wake up!"
Man 1: "Um, no. See, we're the rock group, Air Supply."
Jaxman: "What are you doing here dammit?"
Man 2: "Our friends from Men At Work sent us. They couldn't be here, so they sent us instead."
Jaxman: "This is unacceptable dammit! I asked for Men At Work, and that is who I want dammit!"
Man 1: "Well, they couldn't be here. They're filming a vegemite commercial in Australia. So, it's us, or no one."
Jaxman (frustrated): "Fine dammit! What songs do you sing? I want you to sing for my precious Brender."
Juan: "What a great id-ee-a father!"
Jaxman (smiling): "Thanks dammit!"
Man 2 (shaking his head): "Well, we sing lots of love songs: 'Lost in Love', 'All out of Love', 'The one that you Love' ... need I go on?"
Jaxman: "Those sound okay, I guess. Just go sing those to my precious Brender."
(Jaxman gives Air Supply the address to Sonny's penthouse, not informing them of what could happen to them there. Air Supply leaves, and the scene ends)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Scene 7 - the setting: The PCPD. Robin arrives to meet with V. Robin sees V over at her desk, and walks over)
Robin: "V! It's so good to see you again!"
V (embracing Robin): "You too! It's been a while..."
Robin: "Tell me about it. You're the second person to say that to me in the last 2 days. Anyway, how was your cruise? Was it everything you hoped for?"
V (under her breath): "You could say that..."
Robin: "Pardon me?"
V: "Sorry, it's just ... well, I came back early because there was a little mishap."
Robin (concerned): "Is everyone okay?"
V: "Oh yes! I mean, all except for Simon."
Robin: "What happened?"
V: "Well, he accidentally was pushed, um, I mean, he fell overboard one night."
Robin (shocked): "Oh my goodness!"
V: "Yes, they never were able to locate him."
Robin: "V, I am so sorry!"
V: "Thank you." (Thinking back) "He was like a dangling participle, hanging on for dear life, calling out for help ..." (Coming back to reality) "Um, I'm getting a little off-topic here. Anyway, I came home where I belong, Port Charles."
Robin: "So I guess you heard about Chloe."
V: "Yes. My goodness! All these horrible things happening to people who came into my life for mere weeks and managed to run me out of town. How awful!"
Robin (seriously): "Um, you hit Chloe, didn't you?"
V (matter of factly): "Yep. You're not going to tell, are you?"
Robin: "No, she was really starting to irritate me. Besides, with Jaxman & the PCPD on the case, your secret will never be discovered."
V: "Thanks Robin."
Robin (embracing V): "Don't mention it."
~~The Penthouse~~
(Air Supply has just arrived at Harbour View Towers, Penthouse 4)
Man 1: "Well, this is the place. Jaxman gave us orders not to knock on the door. I guess we're just supposed to sing here."
Man 2: "I guess. It's a little unusual, but then again, look at the guy we're talking about here."
Man 1: "True. Anyone who wears 'under construction' speedos should be considered a little strange."
Man 2: "Well, should we sing?"
Man 1: "Okay, here goes nothing!"
(The men begin to sing, "I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you..." Sonny has heard them and opens the front door, dressed in his housecoat)
Sonny: "Who the hell are you guys?"
Man 2 (excitedly): "We're Air Supply!"
Sonny: "That's, you know, nice. But why are you .... singing (long pause) at my door?"
Man 1: "Well, a weird guy in speedos paid us to come here and sing for someone named..." (The man looks on the paper Jaxman gave him) "Precious Brender."
Sonny (shaking his head): "Listen, I'll pay you double what (sniff) Speedo Boy is giving you, to, you know, go away."
Man 2: "You have a deal! Thank you!"
Sonny: "Don't .... mention it."
~~The Hospital~~
(Emily & Juan have spotted the mystery man and called Liz and Nik, who are on their way)
Emily: "How are things with Jaxman, boyfriend?"
Juan: "Great girlfriend! He is an amazing father."
Emily (shaking her head): "I still think you should have asked Jason, boyfriend."
Juan: "Why girlfriend? Hee is nothing but a big bull-ee!"
Emily: "No he's not, he's perfect in every way boyfriend!"
(Just then, Nik and Liz approach, rolling their eyes)
Liz: "Hey guys! What did you call about? It sounded important."
Emily (to Liz): "Is Jason perfect in every way?"
Liz: "Um, I guess so..."
Nik: "No he's not! He spent time with Liz and that should have been me dancing with her in Kelly's."
Liz (looks at him strangely): "Um, how did you know about that?"
Nik (turning red): "Never mind." (Trying to change the subject) "Did you see that man again?"
Emily: "Yes, he's right over there."
(Liz looks closely at the man, trying to figure out where she knows him from. After a few minutes, a hint of recognition shows in her eyes)
Emily: "What is it Liz?"
Liz (smiling widely): Oh my gosh! Do you know who that is?"
Emily: "No, who?"
Liz (shaking uncontrollably): "I can't believe this! This is totally amazing!"
Nik: "Um, would you mind filling us in here?"
Liz (turning to Emily): "Em! Don't you recognize him?" (Liz starts to cry, and jumps up and down)
Emily (anxiously): "Help me out here!"
Liz (screaming): "It's Rick from the Bold & The Beautiful!" (She looks around, a little embarrassed by her outburst)
Emily: "Oh my gosh! You're right!" (The two girls join hands, facing each other, jumping up and down and squealing. Nik and Juan look on confused)
Emily (looking at Liz): "You should go over there, he asked for you."
Liz (excitedly): "What would I say? Why does he want to see ME?"
Emily: "You won't know until you go over there."
Liz (taking a deep breath): "Okay, wish me luck!" (Liz walks nervously toward the man) "Um, hi."
Man (smiling widely): "Elizabeth! How are you?"
Liz: "I can't believe you remembered me!"
Man (confused): "Of course I would."
Liz: "I wrote that fan letter over a year ago!"
Man (looking at her strangely): "Fan letter?"
Liz: "Yeah, and you even remembered my name!"
Man (curiously): "Um, Elizabeth ... who do you think I am?"
Liz: "You're Rick!"
Man: "Rick? Who the hell is Rick?"
Liz (confused): "I thought he was you..."
Man: "Elizabeth, it's me, Lucky. Don't you recognize me?"
Liz (angry): "How dare you!"
Man (confused): "What?"
Liz: "Pretend to be my boyfriend! You have a lot of nerve!" (She slaps him in the face, then walks away, her face red with anger)
Man (calling out to her): "But I'm telling you the truth! I AM Lucky! Please come back Elizabeth!"
(Once he sees that she's gone, he begins to stare into space. The scene ends)
