Dillon: Ok, wait. Are you sure? I mean, because it hasn't been six weeks yet, and I know that --

Georgie: Yes. I love you, and I don't want you to leave for school without us -- you know.

Dillon: Ok.

Georgie: Yeah.

Dillon: I love you, too. I love you, too.

[Knock on door]

Dillon: What?

Edward: Hey, who said you could lock this door?

Dillon: Um -- now is really not a good time. Ok?

Edward: I thought you'd be pleased to know that your ploy worked.

Dillon: I -- hey, I've got a lot to do if I'm going to be ready to leave.

Edward: Oh, don't play naive with me. You're not going anywhere, and you know it, Dillon.

Georgie: What does he mean?

Edward: Your mother did just what you asked her to do. She threatened general perry with a lawsuit if you even set foot on that stonewall academy.

Dillon: Oh, my god, I can't believe it.

Edward: I was willing to drag you there regardless, but, oh, no. Perry said no, he refused.

Dillon: This is amazing.

Edward: Damn it, alice, where the hell is the key to this room?

Dillon: I guess I'm staying.

Georgie: You called your mom?

Dillon: Uh, could we please not talk about my mom right now?

Georgie: I need to leave.

Dillon: What? Why?

Georgie: You lied to me, Dillon.

******************************************************************

Dillon: I never lied to you, georgie, and you know that.

Georgie: You knew you weren't going to military school when you came up here.

Dillon: As far as I knew, I was shipping out at 0900.

Georgie: But you called your mom and she said she'd get you out of it.

Dillon: Oh, yeah, and she's really reliable.

Georgie: We had a contract, Dillon.

Dillon: I know that, ok? I know we had a contract. We said six weeks, and we can wait even longer if you want. But I would really appreciate it if we could quit almost doing it because it's getting hard to stop.

Georgie: We almost did it because you lied to me. You let me believe that you were leaving when you weren't!

Dillon: Ok, a, I never lied to you. Never. B, five minutes ago, it really seemed to me like you wanted to do that.

Georgie: Yeah, I did because I didn't think I'd see you again until next summer.

Dillon: That's the point, Georgie. I mean, I'm not going anywhere, and we can be together now. Isn't that why you burst into the den pretending to be pregnant? Isn't that why you challenged my grandfather?

Georgie: I wanted you to stay because I thought I could trust you.

Dillon: You can trust me. I love you. I mean, of course you can trust me.

Georgie: Isn't that what every guy says to a girl when he wants her to sleep with him?

Dillon: I don't deserve that, and I'm going to prove it to you.

******************************************************************

Dillon: Grandfather! Grandfather.

Edward: Hmm. Oh, Miss Jones. I wasn't even aware that you were still here.

Dillon: Oh, save it. That little speech you pulled in the hallway -- that was a setup, and we both know it.

Edward: I see that you have made no plans to change your attitude.

Dillon: Why should I? You don't give a damn about me.

Edward: Listen, I assure you that that military school was in your best interest.

Georgie: Dillon, I want to leave.

Dillon: No. No, what good does it do for me to stay in port charles if you can't even trust me?

Edward: So, what do you want? I'm busy.

Dillon: Oh, for you to tell Georgie the truth, maybe?

Georgie: Dillon, drop it!

Dillon: I don't know -- I can't, ok? As of an hour ago, I was supposed to leave for military school in the morning, right?

Edward: Well, that was my intention, yes, until tracy screwed things up.

Dillon: Oh, god, don't bring my mother into this. Don't do that, ok? As far as I knew -- I want you to confirm this -- as far as I knew, I was supposed to leave for good.

Edward: Oh, I can'T. That would be dishonest.

Dillon: What?

Edward: You know, I am -- I am so painfully ashamed of my grandson.

Dillon: This was a mistake.

Edward: That little scene that he had with the general? That was just a play on your affections.

Georgie: Dillon knew he wasn't leaving?

Dillon: Don't you say another word, grandfather. I swear to god --

Edward: I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Georgie. When Dillon left this room, he knew that he was staying in port charles. His mother had already arranged it. Oh, I thought I was the -- I thought I was the last to know. I see I'm not.

Dillon: Georgie, this is what my family does, ok? They retaliate when they don't get their way.

Georgie: That's not my problem.

Dillon: Look -- hey, look -- hey, my grandfather lied to you, all right? It's sick and it's twisted.

Georgie: Just let me go, dillon!

Dillon: Why are you listening to a bitter, old man who would rather manipulate people than have any one real relationship in his entire life?

Georgie: Dillon --

dillon: Believe in me, Georgie --

georgie: Dillon, I don't want to be here.

Dillon: Even when you think something else might be true. Look, you told ned that I was doing jobs for alcazar, didn't you? I mean, and that hurt me. And you didn't mean it, I know, and I was angry, but then I realized that you didn't do it intentionally. Ok, can't you see that it's the exact same situation for me?

Edward: He's very convincing, isn't he? Just like his mother. I don't wonder that you were drawn right into it.

Dillon: Oh, god, come on, we're getting --

georgie: No. I'm leaving alone.

Dillon: Wait a minute --

Edward: Dillon, Dillon, Dillon -- she's very upset, so why don't you just honor her wishes and leave her alone.

Dillon: You are so transparent, ok? You don't want anybody to be happy, and let me warn you, grandfather, that's a mistake.

Edward: Listen to me -- do you really think that your mother would approve of you dating a jones girl?

Dillon: Oh, come on! I don't give damn what my mother thinks, all right? Why do you think I've been so happy lately? It's because every time that I think I can't take another second in this house full of lunatics, I call her and I just escape, ok? I love her.

Edward: You are too young to be in love. Besides, this whole relationship is completely inappropriate. And what's more, it's over.

A.J.: You're wasting your time.

Dillon: Yeah, you would know.

A.J.: Cards are already gone, Dillon. You have them.

Dillon: Cards?

A.J.: The dead man's hand? You stole it. I want them back.

A.J.: Quit stalling. Just give me back the cards.

Dillon: I don't know who's more pathetic, you or grandfather.

A.J.: Dillon, I want the cards.

Dillon: You know what? I don't really care what you want, A.J. You're not exactly top on my priority list right now.

A.J.: You know this already, so I will humor you. There were four antique cards in this book -- two aces, two eights, 4/5 of the hand that wild bill hickok was holding when he got shot in the back.

Dillon: And I'll tell you this one more time. Maybe then you'll get it. I don't know what you're talking about. I have more important things to focus on right now, like life. Why don't you go buy one.

A.J.: Put the cards back and we will not have a problem.

[Phone rings]

Dillon: Georgie? Uh -- hey, mom. How -- how are you? Yeah, no, no, I -- thank you. Grandfather's not very happy that -- that you got involved. Of course I'm grateful. Yes. Yes, and I got what you wanted, too. Yeah, the thing is, though, there's -- there's only three of them. Yeah. No, don't worry, they're safe. They're safe. Nobody's going to think to look where Istashed those cards.
