Kate: Oh, I love it.
Clarice Maha outdid herself.
Kate: Mm-hmm, it’s clean, yet sophisticated. Still has a romantic flair.
Clarice Carly’s head is going to explode when she sees you walking down the aisle in that gown.
Kate: You’re a naughty girl. I can’t wait for Sonny to see me in it.
Sonny: Is that the dress?
Kate: Oh, my God. Don’t look! No, I can’t have anymore bad fate. No.
Kate: Take it out. Take it out of this room, Clarice. I can’t tempt fate.
Clarice I’ll lay the dress out in the guest room, and then I’ll set up that call with Scarlett’s publicist.
Sonny: That’s not going to be necessary, because Kate’s taking the next couple of days off.
Kate: I am?
Sonny: Yeah, and hold the — hold the calls, all of them.
Kate: No.
Sonny: What do you mean, no?
Kate: No, this is the worst possible time. I have a launch for a magazine. I have a wedding to plan.
Sonny: Shh. You are completely stressed out. I don’t want to get to that altar and just be another item on the tight schedule. We are getting married, and I want you to enjoy this time.
Kate: Well, I am.
Sonny: Okay.
Kate: Well, I am, as much as I can.
Sonny: All right. So –
Kate: No, I have too much to do. Clarice, don’t you dare.
Clarice Speaking as a recovering control freak, sometimes you just have to throw the schedule out the window and go for it.
Sonny: Give that lady a raise, please.
Kate: Stop it.
Sonny: Okay, here’s what I want you to do. I want you to pack your bags, okay, and all you need is a bathing suit, because I’m taking you to Aruba. Unless you think that taking my fiancée to an island that starts with the letter “A” is bad luck.
Kate: Oh, I am not that superstitious.
Sonny: Well, Tommy Garafolo — remember when he shot at that sparrow with a slingshot and you said that he would be cursed for the rest of his life because a sparrow carries the souls of the deceased to the afterlife?
Kate: Excuse me, but if you heard my nonna tell me these stories growing up, you’d feel the exact same way.
Sonny: Oh, I would — I would lock the doors and shut everything, and I would never go outside.
Kate: You got blood on a wedding dress. That –
Sonny: It was a reception dress.
Kate: Oh, yeah, right, and now you’re laughing at it, right? You mook.
Sonny: Mook? Wow, I’ve never — you haven’t called me that in a long time.
Kate: Oh, my God. What is wrong with me? Oh, God, I’m like a teenager or something. My stomach is full of butterflies, and my head is just full of –
Sonny: Hopes and dreams? Remember when we were kids, right, and we had the future just all stretched out in front of us, uncharted territory? We got a chance right now to do it, and that’s why I want — I want us to go away, all right? So we can get that feeling back.
Kate: So about this trip –
Sonny: I thought you were onboard.
Kate: Well, I’m getting onboard. But if we are going to run away together, there’s really only one place I want to go.
Sonny: Where?
Kate: Your island.
Sonny: Okay, here’s the thing. The island is the only thing that I have left in the Caribbean that I didn’t sign over to Jason. That’s going to be there for a long time — forever, actually, so why don’t we go — I just thought we’d go somewhere where it would be new to us.
Kate: As opposed to the place where you’ve taken all your other women. What’s the matter? Afraid you might slip and call me by someone else’s name?
Sonny: Why do you do this?
Kate: Why won’t you take me to the island?
Sonny: Because of what you — what you said about, you know, the other women and things.
Kate: Memorable times, I’m sure.
Sonny: No, that was — that was different. You’re — you’re separate from anything that’s come before.
Kate: Okay, I believe that. I don’t think I’m in any kind of competition.
Sonny: Good.
Kate: That’s why I want to go there. I want to make the island ours.
Sonny: The whole point of going away is — is to leave all the planning and stress behind us and get back to us.
Kate: Mm-hmm, so what is your point?
Sonny: The point is, why do you want to go some place where there’s history, especially with, you know –
Kate: Carly.
Sonny: Yeah.
Kate: Yeah, Carly, that’s what you were going to say. The most recent Mrs. Corinthos.
Sonny: Okay, all right, all right, all right.
Kate: Look, the whole reason I want to go down there is so that it’s not a place haunted by your past, so that it’s a place about us and our future together.
Sonny: Yeah, okay, well, that all sounds reasonable and everything, you know, when you say it, you know, Kate Howard. But I remember a time, when, you know, Connie Falconeri was okay with the fact that I took out her cousin Olivia, and then she wrote in the boy’s stall, “Olivia puts out.”
Kate: I don’t know what you’re talking about.
Sonny: Well, I know your handwriting.
Kate: Well, she did, didn’t she?
Sonny: You see, you haven’t changed. This is — this is not about going to the island and all that. This is — this is competition.
Kate: Okay, well, if you don’t take me, then I’ll just have to wonder. Maybe you think I don’t measure up. Maybe I can’t compete.
Sonny: That’s stupid.
Kate: Prove it.
Sonny: What? Prove what? That — that the person in front of me is brilliant and beautiful and I love her to death? She’s the only woman in the world for me. I don’t have to go to a private island to prove that. I can, you know — you want me to take you, I’ll take you. Whatever my fiancée wants, my fiancée gets.
Kate: Thank you.
Sonny: Is that all right? Oh, boy.
Kate: Oh, my God! I can’t believe it’s so close to the water. Oh, Sonny, it’s gorgeous. Oh, it’s a garden. Oh, they’re so peaceful.
Sonny: See, that’s the reason that I originally bought this place. You know why? Because the casino is not far, but right here is our world. Total privacy.
Kate: Oh. Total?
Sonny: Yeah, the staff knows not to bother me unless I ask them to. They won’t interrupt us, if you know what I mean.
Kate: Mm. You must have so many memories here.
Sonny: I don’t care about that. I just care about right here. You in front of me. I’m glad you’re here. This place looks good on you.
Kate: Why don’t we make a memory of our own?
