.......to the Police & tell them that you remember. I want you to tell them that I'm the man. I mean it, Laura,
.......name me"... Lra - "It's too late for that"
Laura says "You don't know what you're saying"... Lk - "I do, name me as the rapist, Laura, get this nightmare
.......over with"... Lra - "How can I name you? I couldn't possibly"... Lk - "You have to!"... Lra - "No, I said
.......it happened in the park. The Policeman who found me... He asked me if I'd been raped, I said yes. He
.......assumed that it happened in the park, everybody assumed that it happened in the park, and I let thim think
.......that"... Lk - "Ok, you tell them that you were confused & upset"... Lra - "What do you want me to do?

.......Ever!"... Lk - "I gotta explain to you, I gotta tell you what was happening, what was in my head that
.......night"... Lra - "It doesn't matter"... Lk - "Yes it does, Laura, what I did to you was wrong. Very wrong.
.......But I had been to a meeting. A terrible, rough, meeting. When I got to the Disco & I saw you, I needed
.......to touch you, I needed to hold you, because you're the only clean & wonderful thing that's ever happened
.......in my rotten life. And for one crazy moment I thought that you wanted me the same way I wanted you"...
.......Lra - "I never wanted anyone but Scotty. I thought that you needed me as a friend that night. I wanted to
.......be that friend, but you turned it into something dirty, so that I will never be clean again. I can't be Scotty's
.......wife now. You told me that night that you were gonna be dead in a month. Tell me now Luke, what did
.......you mean by that?"
Laura [Later that afternoon] says "You can't run away from me, Luke"... Lk - "I'm not running away from
.......you"... Lra - "You can't avoid me either. I asked you a question this morning, you still haven't anwered
.......me. Why did you tell me that you were gonna be dead in a month, why would you say something like
.......that?"... Lk - "Forget it"... [Luke starts to walk off, Laura goes after him] Lra - "Oh sure, sure, forget it.
.......Forgive & forget, isn't that a bit much to ask? It's really simple, right? Wrong, it's not that simple. I'm
.......gonna do my very best to forget what happened in the Disco that night, but I can't forget what you said
.......to me"... Lk - "I was being melodramatic, Laura, ok?"... Lra - "No, no, it's not ok"... Lk - "I was
.......playing on your emotions"... Lra - "I don't believe you. Now you said that you'd been to a meeting that
.......night. You came back a different man, Luke, a man that I had never seen before"... Lk - "Why hadn't
.......you ever seen it before? It's always been there"... Lra - "You're skirting the issue, Luke. Why did
.......you tell me you were gonna be dead in a month?"... Lk - "It doesn't concern you, Laura"... Lra - "What
.......it's not from my world?"... Lk - "That's right it's from my dirty, grimy world"... Lra - "Uh huh, much
.......worse than I'd ever expected, right?"... Lk - "Exactly right, it's a nightmare. So what difference does
.......it make?"... Lra - "I... I still care what happens to you"... Lk - "Why?"... Lra - "Because you're in
.......trouble. You're in big trouble"... Lk - "Laura, the best thing you can do is just stay away from me
.......& that way you won't get hurt"... Lra - "Luke, please"... Lk - "Listen, I might as well be dead because
.......I can't have you"... Lra - "No, that's now what you meant"... Lk - "Well, you better start believing
.......that's what I meant"... Lra - "You're not gonna tell me the truth, are you?"... Lk - "You just can't
.......have the truth, can you? That is the truth, Laura, without you I might as well be dead. Got it?"
Watson comes to see Luke & talks about the Mitch Williams hit
----------------
Lesley tries to convince Laura to go into therapy
Lesley asks if Laura is afraid of the man or of seeing him again... Lra says "I pity the man. We've all
.......done things, Mother. Things that we never thought we could possibly do. Look at me. I killed
.......a man. And look at Scotty, he almost killed Roy DiLucca"... Lesley - "But a man who would do
.......something like this, honey, is a much uglier creature"... Lra - "But you see, I don't see him that
.......way. To me he's a very pitiful creature, who's just crying out for help"
Luke looks at his pictures of Laura
Laura comes to Luke's office, dressed for work... Luke says it's too early... Laura says it's not
Laura says "Let me handle this my own way, alright?"... Lk - "Come on, you'd have to be working out
.......there on the dance floor"... Lra - "Well, I had to walk through there to get here"... Lk - "And?"...
.......Lra - "And I've blocked it out of my mind. To me, this is just the Disco. The place where I work, the
.......place where Scotty & I & all of our friends can come to dance & forget all of our troubles"...
.......Lk - "Forget your troubles. Can you forget what happened between us?"... Lra - "I have to"...
.......Lk - "Well, I can't"... Lra - "But your still gonna give me my job back, aren't you? You already
.......promised you would"... Lk - "I don't know, Laura"... Lra - "Luke, I can't run away. Neither can you.
.......It's not gonna change anything and I owe you alot of money for the law books"... Lk - "Laura, I don't
.......want the money"... Lra - "I've gotta pay you back. Scotty knows how much I borrowed. Yeah, I
.......told him the whole story. He also knows that I'm coming back to work here to pay you back for being
.......such a good friend to both of us"... [Kind of laughs as she says this] Lk - "Laura, I don't know what
.......to say to you"... Lra - "I don't want you to say anything. Just listen. You've helped me through so
.......many times. Through the troubles with Scotty, fights with Claudia, or with Amy. You even gave me
.......a job when I needed one. Well, even after what you did to me, I still need this job because I have to
.......pay you back... for everything. You told me you don't want me involved in your business & that you
.......didn't mean what you said when you told me that you were gonna be dead in a month, I don't believe
.......you. I just want you to know that. But, I HATE YOU for what you did to me. And I hate every
.......moment I have to be near you"... Lk - "Laura"... Lra - "I mean it Luke"... Lk - "Then leave"...
.......Lra - "No! No, I am going to work here & pay you back for everything, because I have something
.......to prove to you Luke & I have something to prove to myself. Well, I'm gonna get to work now, I
.......owe you alot of money. [Laura heads out the door, but turns around] Oh, one more thing, Luke. You
.......need me! You just can't handle it can you?" [Laura kind of smirks & closes the door]

.......reap the benifits (Watson says "& without out that garauntee?"... Lk - "You really wanna find out?")
Laura is upset on the floor... Luke says "Laura, what is it? What's wrong?"... Lra - "What do you think
.......is wrong?"
Laura goes to the hall & starts crying... Luke follows & says "Laura?"... Lra "Don't you ever do that to
.......me again!"... Lk - "Do what?"... Lra - "Spy on me!"... Lk - "Spy?.. I didn't mean to upset you"...
.......Lra - "Ok, just forget it... You know I thought it would help me to face things to come back here to
.......work, but all I run into is sympathy & reminders"... Lk - "You'll just have to ignore it"... Lra - "What
.......about you? How can I ignore you? Everytime I turn around out there, I see you"... Lk - "Hey look,
.......I gotta a club to run here. You know, I can't hide just because you wanna be here & not see me, you
.......know I've got work to do"... Lra - "Well, it was a mistake to come back here"... Lk - "Nobody
.......forced you to do it, Laura, it was your own decision"... Lra - "Well, it was wrong, ok, it was very
.......wrong"... Lk - "Let's go in my office where we won't be overheard"... Lra - "No!"... Lk - "My
.......God, Laura, do you think I would ever try to touch you again? Now stop looking at me like that,
.......stop looking at me with all that fear. You don't even know what real fear is, damn it. Come in the
.......office"... [Laura goes into the office]
Luke says "Ok you stand over there, I'll stand over here, I don't want you to feel like you're going to be
.......attacked"... Lra - "Luke, stop it please"... Lk - "Laura, why did you come back here to work?"...
.......Lra - "You know why. To earn enough money to pay you back"... Lk - "I have wiped that off the
.......books, you don't owe me a dime"... Lra - "What are you trying to do, Luke, buy a clear
.......conscience for $1,000?"... Lk - "Why did you come back here, damn it?"... Lra - "I told you why"...
.......Lk - "There's another reason"... Lra - "I told you that to. I thought it would help me face things"...
.......Lk - "Face what? Face me? Face what happened here that night, is that it?"... Lra - "Face reality"...
.......Lk - "Yeah, I think the reality is you came here to lay a guilt trip on me"... Lra - "That's ridiculous"...
.......Lk - "Oh yeah, is it really? Then how come you give it to me with both barrels as soon as you walk
.......in here to work?"... Lra - "I don't know what you're talking about"... Lk - "Oh you don't , huh?
.......You tell me that you hate every minute that you have to be around me. You act like I'm gonna jump
.......you every time you turn around. You act like I'm forcing you to be here Laura. Like I'm forcing
.......you to see me. Don't you understand it's just the opposite. You're forcing me to see you"...
.......Lra - "I think you've gone insane"... Lk - "Yeah, that's probably true between you & everything
.......else"... Lra - "This is a side of you I've never seen before"... Lk - "Meet Luke Spencer!"...
.......Lra - "I don't like him!"... Lk - "Hey, neither do I. But it's the man I've had to become to
.......survive"... Lra - "What's going on in your life? What are you in to?"... Lk -"My life is a closed
.......book as far as you are concerned, you understand? The only thing that concerns you and me,
.......together, is what happened that night. [Luke is almost crying] And there's nothing else that I can
.......say to you about that. It was terrible what I did. Forcing you to make love. It was very wrong.
.......But what can I do, Laura? I have apologized to you. I can't sleep at night. I hate myself worse
.......that you could ever hate me. Now what else do you want me to do about it? You want me to act
.......like it never happened? I can't do that, it DID happen! But I can't take this guilt trip, Laura"...
.......Lra - "How can you even say that? I mean I cared enough about you to wanna help you out of
.......whatever trouble you're in"... Lk - "Oh you cared alright, you cared enough to zap me with a
.......beautiful exit line... That I need you and I can't handle it, huh?"... Lra - "That's really it, isn't it?
.......I told the truth & you just can't take it"... Lk - "Yeah, you told the truth. I care about you. I care
.......about you so much that it's eating me away"... Lra - "Luke, what are we doing to each other?"...
.......Lk - "I don't know, Laura, I don't know. Look, I want you to be happy again. That's all I want.
.......And I want you to forgive me for what I've said to you tonight"... Lra - "Maybe I deserve it. I
.......don't know"... Lk - "I want you to be happy again more than anything. If I had a death wish
.......that's what it would be"
Laura says "Luke don't keep playing on my sympathy by talking about your death, because I don't
.......believe you"... Lk - "Laura, if seeing me here every night is making you so miserable, I want
.......you to quit"... Lra - "It's not making me miserable & I won't quit because I can't have people
.......getting supsicious about what happened that night. I had to come back! And I have to stay, for myself"

.......you raped me"... Lk - "Laura, look"... Lra - "Do you know what it's like to have to lie all the time, Luke?
.......Well, I do. Of course I remember what you did to me. How could I forget the pain, the humiliation, the
.......embarrassment. Do you know that I CRINGE now every time another man even touches me, even my
.......own husband! I tell people I don't remember what happened, but I do! I tell you something, I wanna
.......know why that night happened! I know, no matter what you try & tell me now, I know that you thought
.......that night that you were gonna be dead in a month! Does it have anything to do with Mitch Williams?"...
.......Lk - "No it doesn't have anything to do with Mitch Williams! That's Roy's problem & you STAY OUT
.......of my business!"... Lra - "You can't use me the way you did & then tell me to stay out of your business
.......because your the one who brought me into it!"... Lk - "Oh, I did that, huh? Do you know what ties us
.......together, Laura, do you really know? You don't realize it, do you? I'm gonna tell you what it is. What
.......it is, is you respond to me. Sometimes, somewhere deep inside you feel something & occasionally you
.......DO respond!"... Lra - "No, I don't!"... Lk - "Yes you do! And you hit it right on the head last night
.......when you said that I need you & I can't handle it. Well, that is true, because I've never needed anybody
.......in my whole life! But I need you so much that I can't think about my business, I can't even think about
.......the next job I have to do!"... Lra - "When? The job you have to do. When?"
Luke says "You wanted this [brings her her sweater] & I'm sorry that I can't tell you about anything that's
.......ahead for me"... Lra - "I'm gonna find out. Even if you don't tell me"... Lk - "Why?"... Lra - "Because
.......even though I hate what you did to me, I don't wanna see anything happen to you"... Lk - "Are you
.......alright?"... Lra - "I'm fine. Thank you for my sweater"... Lk - "You're really handling this well, aren't
.......you Laura?"... Lra - "YES, I am!"... Lk - "You don't fool me"... Lra - "I'm fine! I'm perfect,
.......infact!"... Lk - "Are you going to the Rape Center?"... Lra - "No. Scotty wants us both to go. I don't
.......have to"... Lk - "You don't?"... Lra - "How can I go to that? I'm a cheat & a liar with Scotty. Do you
.......know that now he thinks that I'm too fragile to make love. He's willing to just hold me in his arms at
.......night & protect me. Protect me from what? The truth? It's a joke. I lied to that Policeman that found
.......me in the park & now I'm gonna to have to live that lie forever! Well what is it gonna do to Scotty &
.......me? What is it gonna do to our marriage?"... Lk - "Nothing. I promise you eventually it will do
.......nothing"... Lra - "How can you say that?"... Lk - "Look, around you people lie to each other all
.......the time. Alot of relationships are built on lies. That's how we live our lives, Laura"... Lra - "Uh huh,
.......do you really believe that?"... Lra -"Loving someone doesn't mean you own them!"... Lra - "Doesn't
.......even mean you know them"... Lk - "Look, just give it some time. Scotty's overprotective right now
.......you have to understand that. It will be ok. It has to be alright"... Lra - "It does, huh?"... Lk - "Laura,
.......please. I need you to promise me that you will go to the Rape Center for counceling"... Lra - "I'm
