[Door opens]
Carly: Come in! Don't trip over anything on your way in.
[door closes]
Carly: Why? You know, I knew this wasn't going to work out, so why'd I have Johnny bring all of our stuff over here?
A.J.: Johnny who?
Carly: Oh, it's you.
A.J.: Uh, and whose stuff?
Carly: Mine, Michael's. What, you want to take me to lunch? The symphony? Buy me a car? You're going to have to start without me. I'm a little busy here.
A.J.: So Bobbie kicked you to the curb already?
Carly: No, actually, my mother has been very helpful and very supportive. It's just, you know, it's not working out, so -- so Jason and Michael and I are going to move in together.
Later:
A.J.: Hey.
Robin: Hey.
A.J.: so here i am. So where's the fire? I mean, you made it sound like something awful was happening -- or was about to or did.
Robin: Did.
A.J.: Look, I guess I should -- I should tell you that I know about you and Jason breaking up.
Robin: Jason told you?
A.J.: Carly.
Robin: So was she just crowing or jumping for joy?
A.J.: No, let's say that she wasn't too misty-eyed about it.
Robin: You know her, A.J. You know her like I do.
A.J.: Oh, yeah. Not even Tony Jones knows her the way we do.
Robin: With you, it was the fear that you would drink again. With me, it was the fear that I would lose one more person that i loved. You and I let those fears control us, and Carly took advantage of that. But you know what I don't get?
A.J.: What?
Robin: How she could use Jason like that. I mean, Jason doesn't really have a weakness. A.J.: Well, there's Michael.
Robin: If you call love a weakness. Do you?
A.J.: Well, the way that Jason is as a father is all that I see that's left of the brother i once had, Robin.
Robin: There's more. You just don't see it because she's taught him to lie. He wouldn't lie for me or for sonny or for anybody else really but her. It started out as just one lie, and now it's --
A.J.: What one lie?
Robin: She showed up at his doorstep, pregnant, soaking wet, with no place to go. Carly loves to tell that part of the story because it makes Jason seem like he's some sort of savior. But what it really tells you, if you know Jason at all, is that he really didn't have a choice.
A.J.: She showed up at his door pregnant?
Robin: A.J., I'm so sorry.
A.J.: For what? What one lie, Robin?
Robin: About Michael.
A.J.: Michael isn't Jason's son.
Robin: He's yours, A.J.
