You are long overdue for a lesson
Lulu: Okay, I get that you’re still grieving for Emily, but hooking up with that is only going to make things worse.
Nikolas: You’re out of line here.
Lulu: I walk in here and find my brother, who is still recovering from a brain surgery, kissing a virtual stranger, who I happen to know is a total slut. So, I think I have a right to be concerned.
Claudia: You know what, Lulu? Maybe you should try knocking next time instead of barging in on a situation you actually know nothing about.
Lulu: Tell me that you’re just going through grief and you’re extremely lonely and you went out and picked up the first warm thing that you could find.
Nikolas: Hey, hey, I realize that you’re concerned, but that’s no excuse to disrespect a guest that’s in my home.
Lulu: A guest? Do you know who this guest is? Claudia Zacchara, as in Anthony Zacchara’s daughter.
Claudia: I prefer John’s sister.
Lulu: What are you doing here?
Nikolas: She doesn’t owe you an explanation.
Lulu: Are you two dating?
Nikolas: Claudia and I have recently become — what? Friends? Yes, friends.
Lulu: Oh, is that what you call it?
Claudia: I should go. I’m going to let the two of you –
Nikolas: I’ll — I’ll walk you out. Don’t –
Lulu: Uh-huh.
Nikolas: You sure you’re going to be okay?
Claudia: I’m fine. I mean — yeah. I can take care of myself.
Nikolas: You know what I’m talking about. The guy who stabbed you — you’re going to be okay?
Claudia: Well, I don’t know. I don’t think he’ll try it again, but if he does, I can take care of myself.
Nikolas: Okay.
Claudia: Sorry.
Johnny: Hey. You okay?
Claudia: Hi. I’ve been fine. I’m fine.
Johnny: What the hell happened?
Claudia: You first.
Claudia: Well, was it Sonny?
Johnny: I have a lot to catch you up on. Sonny’s not running things anymore. Jason Morgan took over the Corinthos organization a couple days ago.
Claudia: Really? Finally had enough, huh? Stepped up? They find Sonny’s body yet?
Johnny: No, as far as I know, he’s alive and well. A few days ago, Morgan shows up to the house and announces that he’s taking over the Corinthos organization, right? The next day, our father decides to send him a message and sank one of the Corinthos shipments. Within two hours, Morgan’s back at our house, sets the place on fire.
Claudia: My clothes? Too bad Daddy didn’t burn with it.
Johnny: Jason stood next to our father and watched the place go down.
Claudia: That doesn’t make any sense, John. Why would Jason let our father live?
Johnny: Dad made a move, Jason retaliated. Now we know where both of the parties stand, we can go on with business as usual.
Claudia: John, come on, Daddy’s not going to let it go like that. He’s not. Jason made Daddy look weak in front of the other families. You know, standing and watching your house burn down with the guy who set it on fire? Daddy’s not going to stop until Jason’s dead.
Johnny: Okay, but a war doesn’t do anybody any good. Our father knows that, hopefully Jason does, too.
Claudia: You know, I didn’t peg you for an optimist.
Johnny: I’m a realist, peace is cheaper than war. Unless Jason Morgan had something to do with your disappearance?
Claudia: No, it was nothing like that.
Johnny: Then what was it?
Claudia: I met someone and I got carried away.
Claudia: Are you following me?
Lulu: I’m on my way to work.
Claudia: Well, better get going, wouldn’t want you to be late.
Lulu: I have a few minutes and I think I should use it to clarify a few things.
Claudia: It would be a lot safer for you if we didn’t have this conversation.
Lulu: I am not afraid of you and I’m sure as hell not going to let a skank take advantage of my grieving brother.
Claudia: Really? How do you plan to stop me, little girl?
Lulu: You want to get laid, go find Sonny again, but stay away from my brother.
Claudia: I have had just about enough of your big fat mouth talking about me like you know me. You don’t know a damn thing about me.
Lulu: I know that Johnny pities you and that’s the only reason he puts up with your craziness.
Claudia: I watched you chase after my brother, acting like a crazy fool. Because I let you get away with it, you think you can dictate to me what I do? Let me give you a little piece of advice, okay? If I ever hear anything even remotely resembling attitude coming out of your mouth again, it will be the last thing you ever say, promise.
Lulu: Ooh, are you actually threatening to kill me right now?
Claudia: You are long overdue for a lesson, Lulu, and there’s lots of ways I can make you pay.
Carly: Okay, if you’re looking for a fight, I’d be more than happy to give you one.
