Carly: You’re back.

Sonny: Yeah

Carly: Johnny said you went to the warehouse.

Sonny: We landed an early shipment. Are you cooking?

Carly: I know you said not to, but I felt like having eggs this morning. Protein, you know? And whole wheat toast. But I promise I’ll clean up after myself.

Sonny: Whatever you want.

Carly: What did you just say?

Sonny: You heard me.

Carly: But I thought I wasn’t allowed to use the kitchen.

Sonny: And you didn’t listen. What else is new?

Carly: No. I live here. I mean...well, I don’t see what the big deal is, that I shouldn’t be allowed to ask to use the kitchen every now and then?

Sonny: Well...that’s the part you missed, asking.

Carly: Oh.

Sonny: Yeah.

Carly: Ok. Sonny?

Sonny: Uh-huh?

Carly: May I use the kitchen?

Sonny: Uh...if you clean up after yourself, sure.

Carly: Is this, like, on a permanent basis or just a one-time thing?

Sonny: Do you ever, like, not push things, or do you just...

Carly: No, I just...Ok, I want to know what the rules are...

Sonny: Oh.

Carly: So I don’t break them again.

Sonny: All right, the rules are you can go in the kitchen any time you want. Don’t go into my desk. Don’t use my private line, and if I tell you something is none of your business, then you stay out of it. You think you can manage that?

Carly: Yeah.

Sonny: Good.

Carly: Did I mention I was making eggs? I could make you some, too, if you didn’t already eat at Kelly’s.

Sonny: Yeah. Breakfast would be nice.

Carly: Coming right up.

Carly: Well, what did you think?

Sonny: Well...

Carly: It’s not so bad, hmm?

Sonny: You didn’t burn anything.

Carly: You know what? Ok. You are the stingiest person I have ever met in my life with compliments.

Sonny: All right. Um...thank you, Carly, for cooking this breakfast for me.

Carly: You’re welcome, Sonny.

Sonny: Oh, oh! Something came for you from the hospital.

Carly: Oh, this is just a bunch of expectant mother stuff...what to eat, what not to eat, vitamins, stuff like that.

Sonny: Yeah? What?

Carly: There’s a registration here for lamaze.

[Sonny whistles.]

Carly: I don’t suppose you’d be interested in that?

Sonny: Well, I mean, you’re the one having the baby. You know, if you need somebody to coach you to do all that breathing stuff...because that’s what lamaze is, right, a lot of breathing?

Carly: I don’t know. I think so. I don’t really remember very much about it because I never ended up using it. I had Michael...I hat an emergency cesarean with Michael.

Sonny: Right.

Carly: But Tony was really into the whole coaching idea. He was always going on about participating in his child’s birth, and if you fell that way, you know...

Sonny: No. I mean, you know, I’m asking you how you feel.

Carly: Honestly?

Sonny: Yeah.

Carly: I'd rather be on drugs.

Sonny: Ok.

Carly: I'm not really into pain, you know, and I...I just imagine you coaching me. I’d pick a fight and then we’d be screaming at each other the whole time while our baby’s being born.

Sonny: Plus we decided that we didn’t want to fight in front of the baby.

Carly: Right, I remember.

Sonny: So we should just skip lamaze.

Carly: Yeah

Sonny: Right, all right.

Carly: But you know, I mean, if you want to, then we can do it because I don’t want to deprive you of anything. It’s your child, too.

Sonny: But see, you know, the thing...All I care about is that you and the baby are ok, so whatever you decide, it’s fine with me.

Carly: Really?

Sonny: Right.

[Knock on door.]

Sonny: Yeah?

Johnny: Roy Dilucca.

Roy: Hey. Sorry to interrupt.

Sonny: No problem. Can you give us a minute?

Carly: I can give you all day. I’m going to do a little shopping.

Sonny: All right. Francis will drive you.

Carly: I'd rather take a cab. Look, you and Sorel...it’s a truce, right? So nothing’s going to happen to me.

Sonny: Francis will make sure of that.

Carly: What is Francis going to do, Sonny? He’s going to stand around the better dress department of Wyndham’s while I try on dresses? Come on. Please. I don’t like being followed around everywhere. It makes me feel like I’m trapped. Come on.

Sonny: Ok.

Carly: Thank you. Bye bye.

[While Carly is gone, Roy tells Sonny about his assignment with the F.B.I. Meanwhile, Carly overhears a conversation between Bobbie and Hannah that reveals Roy’s secret. She rushes to Sonny’s to tell him. She comes in right after Roy tells Sonny and lets the fact that Hannah is Roy’s daughter out. Sonny lets Roy go despite her protests.]

Carly: I don’t want to put my feet up.

Sonny: Put your feet up on the...you shouldn’t have been running so much. Drink this.

Carly: I'm not...

Sonny: Just drink the water.

Sonny: Yeah. That’s great.

Carly: You’re happy?

Sonny: Yeah. Why didn’t you call?

Carly: I forgot my cell phone. And don’t say that Francis would have had one, either. Just so you know, when I heard Bobbie and Hannah talking about that whole thing, all I could think about was that you were here in the penthouse and you were probably saying something to Roy that would get you locked up for the rest of your life. And I couldn’t find a cab, so I just took off running.

Sonny: Would have been a lot easier if you had a car waiting.

Carly: You know what? I saved your life here, and that’s all you can say? You just want to complain because I was running, which might possible not have been good for the baby.

Sonny: I never said a word.

Carly: No, but you don’t have to because, you know, I can feel you worrying. It’s like telepathy or something.

Sonny: First of all, you never saved my life. But you thought you did, so I appreciate that.

Carly: Oh, you’re welcome.

Sonny: All right. Second of all, what you did is no different than getting between me and A.J. at the grill, you know, taking a chance to save me.

Carly: I ran a couple of blocks.

Sonny: You charged in here yelling. For all you know, Roy had a weapon. Now, I don’t mind you warning me, but...as long as you got to pick up the phone. What I don’t want to happen is you to get hurt because of me.

Carly: Well, I understand.

Sonny: But then you jump right in the middle.You always do.

Carly: I just don’t want you to go to prison.

Sonny: Well, hey, you know what? That might not be too bad. I mean, me locked up, right? You get sole custody of the baby and Michael, right? What do you think of that? Huh? Free and clear of the Quartermaines. That could be a sweet deal.

Carly: Matter of fact, maybe I should go track Roy down, see if I can get him to rat you out after all.

Sonny: Did you say “rat me out?”

Carly: Then again, if you want to be a jerk, I don’t need Roy. I’ll go straight to his boss and I’ll rat you out myself.

Sonny: Oh, yeah?

Carly: Yeah.

Sonny: You’ll rat me out?

Carly: I will.

Sonny: All right, you know what? You’ve had enough stress for today. Why don’t I take you and Michael to the park?

Carly: Really?

Sonny: Yeah. You know, you can relax. I can swing Michael.

Carly: No, we’ll do it together.

Sonny: But the point is you got to relax is what I’m saying.

Carly: Well, I don’t need to relax. I’ll go get Michael. I can feel you worrying.

Sonny: Could you possibly hurry up? Hurry!

Carly: Yeah! Funny!
