Jason: "Carly's plans don't always turn out well."
Sonny: "I am looking at drug charges and jail time because my dad is a coward with no self-control. I've always known not to trust him. Even when I was Michael's age, I knew. What do I do? I let him into my home, into my life. I don't know. Why didn't it sink in, you know? Why did I think this time would be any different than before?"

Jason: "Have you spoken with him at all about this?"
Sonny: "Why--why--why should I?"
Jason: "To hear his side."
Sonny: "Are you saying Mike was afraid to come to me? Don't bother. Carly already beat you to it. I don't care how Mike feels. I'm not responsible to clean up his mess. You should've seen how he treated Carly when we lost the baby. He had her in tears right here in this room."

Sonny: "I know that if I call my dad right now he'll be over here in two seconds flat with some lame excuse. He'll say he's sorry, blame himself, he didn't mean to hurt me or anybody else, and he would probably even promise to quit. I would call him a liar, and we would spend our--you know, the rest of the day trying to forget things that happened in the past. I would get mad, and he would have that little look on his face, like a loser, and he would crawl out of here. Who needs it?"
Jason: "I'm sorry it hurts so much."
Sonny: "Same old same old. I'm a busy guy, Jason."

Carly: "We need to talk about how you can get me out of here because I can't live with Sonny."
Jason: "Why not?"
Carly: "Because he used to think of me as the slut that ruined your life. Now he thinks of me as the slut that's about to send him to prison."

Jason: "You grow on people."
Carly: "On you, maybe. Not on most people."

Carly: "I might as well be a house plant except that he likes plants--"

Carly: "So why doesn't he yell at me or, like, throw something at me or give me something to fight for here?"
Jason: "What do you want to fight for? Sonny?"

Carly: "You know--ok, when I left A.J., I thought that Sonny was going to take me to the brownstone, right? But he practically dragged me over here by my hair. And I hated being here, and I hated him because he's arrogant and he's pompous and, you know, he's like this major control freak. But then he's got this other side that--"
Jason: "Didn't I tell you?"
Carly: "Did I listen? It's not like it matters now, but we had made this deal, Sonny and I, that we weren't going to fight in front of Michael, see, and we were just going to try to get along. And--then after a while, you know, we just did. He looked out for me, he took care of me, and I tried to look out for him, take care of him and--I made him laugh. I filled the place up. That's what he said, you know? We'd sit here at morning time, breakfast, and we would just not even say anything, and he'd drink his coffee and I'd drink my tea. And I just felt--I don't know. I just--I felt so calm, like nothing bad could ever happen. And I'd never felt that way before except with--you know, with you. You know? And then after I lost the baby, I just thought that he was going to go crazy drink, smash furniture, see things."
Jason: "He didn't?"
Carly: "No, he took care of me. He took care of me. I don't know what I would have done, Jase, because if it wasn't for Sonny, I'm sure that I would have killed A.J."
Jason: "Hold on, hold on. Back up. You tried to kill A.J.?"

Jason: "Guess I missed a few things while I was gone."
Carly: "A couple, maybe."

Carly: "Jason, I mean, in one second I would've--you know, and then I heard this voice. I heard Sonny's voice say, 'Carly, no.'"

Carly: "He got through. He made sense, Jason. Nobody else could've. Not even you."

Carly: "I'd be in Ferncliff right now if it weren't for Sonny. Michael'd be with the Quartermaines. He was great. He took me to the island the same day. And he was so kind, you know. And I was a freak. I mean, I was awful. I slapped him in the face, hit him in the face, and he let it go. And he let me cry and--you know, at first I didn't want Michael to be away from me, and then Sonny kept him safe and he listened. And we looked at the stars."

Carly: "Whole time we were on that island, though, Sonny just put aside his own pain and he took care of me, you know? I didn't know he could do that."
Jason: "He can."
Carly: "Why do I ruin everything?"
Jason: "You never know when to stop. The mess keeps getting bigger and--"
Carly: "No, because except this one time I was really trying to do the right thing."

Carly: "Well, I heard him say that--you know, that I was an obligation, and Sonny's got enough obligations."
Jason: "All right, so you moved out."
Carly: "Yeah, because I was trying to do the right thing, you know? I was trying to do the right, noble thing. But I'm just no good at it."
Jason: "Are you sure that Sonny wanted you out?"
Carly: "He let me go, you know? He let me go. And, you know, when Mike asked me for that money, I just saw it as an opportunity to help Sonny. That's all I was trying to do."

Jason: "I believe you."
Carly: "You always do."
Jason: "No, just this time I do."
Carly: "Ok. Well, Sonny doesn't. He doesn't. You forgive me."
Jason: "Yes, I do."
Carly: "He doesn't. He can't. So, you know, that's why I got to get out of here. I can't live here. Let's take Michael, Jase. Just you and me and Michael. Let's take him. Let's disappear tonight."
Jason: "Sometimes it's better just to wait."

Jason: "Can you just take my word?"
Carly: "Are you asking me to?"
Jason: "Yes, I am."
Carly: "Yes, I can."
