Sonny and Carly:

• Carly spends the day on her own with Michael (though Sonny has somebody keeping an eye on her) and ends up on the docks with no place to go. She runs into Leticia and Reginald, who tell her she should go back to Sonny's. She stops in at Kelly's, where Tammy won't rent her a room (they're all taken) and Emily puts her two cents in. Finally, she goes back to Sonny, but she insists that she's not going to marry him. He says he won't push it, since she feels so strongly about it. (4/17)
• Carly takes Michael to the park, where AJ shows up. They go around again about AJ seeing his son, but AJ can't make a move with Johnny there, and Carly won't let him see Michael. (4/18)
• Sonny learns from Bobbie that Roy believes that Larkin is a threat to him. He tells her to stay out of it so that she'll stay safe. Later, Carly talks with him about Bobbie, and Sonny trusts her with the truth. But when she tells Sonny about seeing AJ in the park and Sonny wants to send him to jail, Carly convinces him not to play his trump card so soon. (4/18)
• Sonny isn't happy when Mike wishes him a happy birthday. Carly wants to make him happy, so she decides to surprise him with a special evening. (4/20)
• Carly insists on going to the Grill, where they run into Ned and Alexis. Then Sonny reacts badly to his birthday dinner, remembering a birthday with Deke. When they move to leave and run into the Quartermaines, Carly defends him. (4/21)
• Carly and Sonny fend off the Quartermaines, and she takes him home. He tells her about Deke, and even lets her give him his birthday present. (4/24)
• Sonny takes Carly to the hospital when she starts having pains. The doctor says that Carly and the baby are fine, but Carly's convinced that she's done something to hurt her child. Sonny comforts her and takes her home, where his watch on her begins. Somehow, she doesn't seem to mind. (4/25)
• When Sonny and Carly walk in on Juan and Emily making out in Jason's old penthouse, Sonny insists that they have some one-on-one talk about sex. Nobody's thrilled at the prospect. (4/27)
• When Bobbie yells at Sonny for doing nothing to help Roy (she doesn't know that one of the guards is on Sonny's payroll and has been helping Roy), Carly comes to his defense. Later, Sonny thanks Carly, and they kiss. (4/28)

I. A Fine Day Out (4/17)

Carly: "At least I don't have some control freak with dimples telling me what to do."

Reginald: "Aren't those pretzels going to ruin his appetite for dinner?"
Carly: "This is his dinner."

Leticia: "Thanks to Mr. Corinthos, we're having dinner at the grill tonight."

Carly: "How could you side with Sonny over Michael's own mother?"
Leticia: "Look, A, I want what's best for Michael, and, B, he does pay my salary."

Reginald: "Look, you could always go back to the Quartermaines'. I mean, I'm sure they'd love to have Leticia and Michael--and, you know, you, too, of course."

Carly: "That's ok. I'd rather sleep under the pier."
Reginald: "Just a suggestion."

Carly: "Would you stop about Mr. Corinthos already? I don't want to hear about it. I'm not going to marry him. I don't want to live with him. And if you don't want to stop talking about him, why don't you just leave."
Reginald: "Good idea. See you, Michael."
Carly: "Thanks so much for your help. You know what? You guys are just like the people that you work for. You're cold, and you're heartless."

Tammy: "Carly, Carly, you can't bring all this stuff in here."
Carly: "Well, I can't leave it on the street."

Carly: "Ok, well, then peanut butter and jelly for Michael and a glass of milk. I'll have an herbal tea and a room, please."
Tammy: "Excuse me? A what?"

Carly: "My mother and my uncle own this place. Find me a room."
Tammy: "Well, what am I supposed to do, go throw someone out on the street?"
Carly: "Yeah, if need be."
Tammy: "No. Paid rent is paid rent."
Carly: "Michael and I have no place to go. Where are we supposed to sleep tonight?"
Tammy: "Well, I would say Sonny's penthouse is more than enough home for anybody."
Carly: "Are you joking?"
Tammy: "No."
Carly: "No, I'm not going to stay with Sonny. He's a complete control freak. He orders me around, tells me what I can eat and what I can't eat. I'm not doing it. I'm not taking orders from Sonny or the Quartermaines or anyone else."
Emily: "Oh, you got in a fight with Sonny? What a surprise. Figures he can't stand you, either."

Emily: "How long you going to keep him homeless, Carly?"
Carly: "We are not homeless, Emily. We're out for dinner."

Emily: "Let me call a taxi and take him home."
Carly: "Touch him and you are dead."

Carly: "No 'welcome home'?"

Sonny: "Welcome home."

Carly: "You better be careful. It's a cold, cruel world out there."
Sonny: "Francis is driving me."

Carly: "It's a lot more difficult when you're an ex-felon, unemployed, pregnant, with a toddler in tow."
Sonny: "You had a bad day?"

Sonny: "You and Michael are back where you belong."
Carly: "Doesn't it bother you, though, I mean, even just a little bit that I wouldn't be here if I had anyplace else to go? Even a single at Kelly's."
Sonny: "No."
Carly: "I'm not going to change my mind about marrying you, you know? That's not going to happen."
Sonny: "Did I even mention it?"
Carly: "No, but you have been thinking about it since I walked through the door. I can feel it. And I don't want to hear it that you don't have to be completely in love with somebody to want to spend the rest of your life with them because I do. I have to be very, very in love. I married somebody once for convenience, and I will never settle for that again. I will never. Not even, you know, if you throw me out. I won't."
Sonny: "Ok."
Carly: "Ok?"
Sonny: "If you feel that strongly, the wedding's off."

Carly: "I'm not going to find a wedding ring in this rigatoni, am I?"

Sonny: "I still intend to marry you, tomorrow or in the delivery room at the hospital. I don't care. It's up to you."
Carly: "What part of 'no' don't you get?"
Sonny: "You see, you're not listening. I said it's up to you. I respect your point of view."
Carly: "Could you run that by me again?"

Sonny: "I will back off the sacrament of marriage--no pressure, no calling the church behind your back."
Carly: "And all I have to do in return is give you my second-born child?"
Sonny: "All I ask in return is for you to think about a future with me. Get past your fear, your anger, play with the idea when you got nothing better to do. Think of the bigger picture. You know, you and I can be partners doing something that we care about together."
Carly: "You said 'partners.' you won't make any demands on me?"
Sonny: "Well--"
Carly: "You know, tell me what to do."
Sonny: "You will be my wife, and I'll treat you with honor. Our children will have a stable home with two parents who love them. And I promise you that Mrs. Corinthos will never have the kind of bad day Ms. Benson had. People will show you respect. So, will you agree to try?"
Carly: "I will agree to think about it if we can agree that I'm only window-shopping. I have no obligation to buy."

Carly: "Keys to the castle?"
Sonny: "It beats a single at Kelly's."

Arda: "Either I'm too tired to appreciate GH lately, or it's been somewhat boring."

Judy: "I vote for the latter. I've been bored by it too. Although the pointless, idiotic, thoroughly un-entertaining 'Carly's homeless for a day' episode was annoying and boring, so there was some variety that day. *G* I just luuuuuve watching yet another poor, helpless female who just can't survive without Sonny...NOT!"

Joan: "Carly's Awful Adventure--ugh. I wanted to slap the writers; if they wanted to make it interesting, Carly should have found shelter, and in an Unexpected Place. (Emily grew a brain and put her up in the boathouse or Chloe gave her an upstairs space at L&B?) And why on earth didn't she go to that other hotel that must exist in a town the size of Port Charles? Surely if it can boast a downtown the size of the remote shoots, there are options between the Port Charles Hotel and Kelly's."

"Leticia and Reginald have gone way down in my estimation. Hasn't Leticia figured out that if thee is no Michael in the Penthouse then Sonny has no reason to 'pay her salary,' her new mantra?"

Amy: "Yup, we've seen plenty of less-than-fancy hotel rooms around the city. But I suppose the point is that Carly has absolutely no money. Gee, I would figure she'd be smart enough to horde up a few hundred dollars out of all the pockets she's had her hands in during her time here. But we've seen before that money runs straight through her fingers."

"But, while I thought she was being fairly stupid, I also thought the point was to show us that Carly didn't really want to leave Sonny's. This, for me, quickly becomes the difference between Carly at the Qs and Carly at Sonny's. No matter how much she complained at the beginning, she really wanted to be there, at least partly. She just needed to negotiate the terms of their agreement, which she has done (in her own charming way *G*) and will continue to do, I'd expect."

"Sonny saw this for what it was; a grand gesture, as you say. He knew she'd be back. And for my money, Carly knew it too. These two are like kids with babysitters--they're testing each other's limits. And it was clear at the elevator that Carly expected him to come after her, and that he wanted to, for a moment. But at the same time he knew that if he didn't (but kept an eye on her by way of a thug), she'd come back. She made her point, but he made his too."

"I still say that this is 'The Taming of the Shrews.' Plural."

II. A Fine Day Out, The Sequel (4/18)

A.J.: "Carly, I want to see my son. Now."

A.J.: "Hey--would you call your goon off?"
Carly: "That's good. Call Johnny names at this particular moment."

A.J.: "Look, I have a right to see my son."
Carly: "Since when?"
A.J.: "I'm still his father, all right?"
Carly: "My mistake."

A.J.: "Come on. Carly, can't--look, can't we work something out here? Just between us?"
Carly: "Michael doesn't ask about you. He doesn't miss you. He never calls for you. Not never--once. He just doesn't care."
A.J.: "Well, then what difference does it make if I spend a little time with him, you know? Maybe just push him on the swing a time or two."
Carly: "Yeah, so the Quartermaines can kidnap him again."
A.J.: "Oh, come on. We used to be friends, remember?"
Carly: "Oh, give me a break, A.J. Do you remember how many times I asked you if we could work something out, if we could--if you would give me a divorce, if we could work out some sort of joint custody? You do. Yeah, well, I remember, too, A.J. And besides that, you're a drunk, and you're not getting near my son."
A.J.: "Look, I haven't had a drink all day."
Carly: "Most people are just having breakfast, A.J."
A.J.: "I'll just--what if I just stood by the swings? He won't even know I'm there."
Carly: "If you really cared about Michael, you'd let him go like Jason did."
A.J.: "And ditch my son the way Jason ditched you?"
Carly: "Whatever."
A.J.: "Why does Sonny have the right to raise his child, but I don't have a right to raise mine?"
Carly: "You had a chance, A.J., and you blew it."
A.J.: "You think I'm going to let you get away with this?"
Carly: "What are you going to do, burn us all up?"
A.J.: "You know what--"
Johnny: "It's over, Mr. Quartermaine."

A.J.: "You're not going to ruin my life and then walk away, Carly."
Carly: "Watch me."
