Sonny: You got something to say to me?
Kate: What? You think I am obsessing about all the women you brought here?
Sonny: I don’t think. I know.
Kate: Oh, really.
Sonny: Yeah.
Kate: Yeah. Actually, I was thinking about snow.
Sonny: Oh.
Kate: Yeah, snow. Mm-hmm. Do you remember that first winter we were together, and we had that record snowfall?
Sonny: Mm-hmm.
Kate: And all of that ice was on my dad’s windshield. We couldn’t get it off. We couldn’t get to work. And then you showed up. Cocky and confident. You were. You got that ice off in 20 minutes.
Sonny: Yeah, and the windshield was cracked, actually shattered, and it took me till March to have to pay it off, shoveling snow.
Kate: That is correct.
Sonny: I hate — I hate the cold. I always have.
Kate: Well, would you ever imagine that you would own your own little piece of paradise? Hmm? Seriously.
Sonny: Well –
Kate: Look at all of this. It’s all yours. The sand.
Sonny: Mm-hmm.
Kate: The water.
Sonny: Mm-hmm.
Kate: The view of the horizon. All the people here work for you. It’s pretty amazing to realize there’s nothing you want you can’t buy.
Sonny: You haven’t done so bad yourself.
Kate: Well, I’m grateful. But I’ve never know anyone who realized their dream quite so perfectly as you.
Sonny: You weren’t here for the hard part. It didn’t come cheap. There was a lot of things that I wanted, a lot of things that I needed that I couldn’t buy. But now, darling, I got what I wanted. And I’m not letting it go.
Kate: So where are you going to take me?
Sonny: Well, I thought I would show you around the compound, right? Do a little gambling, and by the time we got back, they’re going to have dinner set up for us there, and we would do whatever we wanted to do after that.
Kate: This is kind of like being on a fabulous cruise.
Sonny: Mm-hmm.
Kate: Isn’t it, right? Except that the island is the ship, and there’s probably a seafood buffet, and a gorgeous ice sculpture. And a stage show, where the singer toured with “The Lion King.”
Sonny: Oh, so are you saying that my paradise island is cheesy?
Kate: No, I’m not saying it’s cheesy. I’m just saying that I have actually gambled all over the world. I was wondering what our other options might be.
Sonny: I have to pry you away from the Haunted Star at the roulette table, so you don’t want to go gambling now?
Kate: Yeah, where they don’t rig the tables at the Haunted Star.
Sonny: It’s Luke Spencer. Of course they do. He wants to make an extra buck for the house.
Kate: Okay, I think that I am pretty easygoing. I do.
Sonny: Yeah.
Kate: But my idea of fun is not — whoopee, magically winning some jackpot.
Sonny: Well, you don’t have to worry about that. I’m going to be bankrolling you.
Kate: Hi. I’m not sure we’ve met. I am Kate Howard. Nobody’s bimbo.
Sonny: Okay, so you wont allow your fiancé to give you a couple of hundred bucks so you can gamble without stress, without guilt?
Kate: All right, okay. I’m going to make a confession to you. I actually used to be a little jealous of the models. They’d come into Monte Carlo. They’d be on some billionaire’s arm. He would put the chips down. She’d blow on them for good luck. And when they won, she’d put the winnings into her bag, jewel-encrusted clutch, she probably saw in my magazine.
Sonny: And that’s bad because?
Kate: It’s bad because, say what you will about me, but I have worked my entire life. I’ve had mentors, yes. But I’m a self-made woman, Mr. Corinthos. And I think you, of all people, should appreciate that.
Sonny: Okay, Kate Howard. So you’d rather see a cheesy lounge singer than gamble with my money?
Kate: The only way I will gamble is if it is with my money, and you absolutely, positively, solemnly swear to not rig it.
Sonny: You know, I forget sometimes how stubborn you can be.
Kate: Well, it’s my only flaw.
Sonny: Let’s go.
Kate: All right.
Kate: That was mortifying.
Sonny: You see all those people gathering around you? They crowded around like you were her — take the — take the –
Kate: Get those chips away from me. They remind me of how sneaky you are.
Sonny: No, no. That’s not true. You won this fair and square. And it would have been nice, you know, to blow on my, uh, my dice so — spread the joy a little bit.
Kate: You rigged the tables. I told you how important it was for me. You said that you respected that, and then you made a fool of me.
Sonny: Why can’t you just accept that you’re the luckiest lady on the island?
Kate: Oh, yeah, the luckiest lady just happens to be sleeping with the boss.
Sonny: Well, that’s your good fortune.
Kate: And now you’re making fun of me.
Sonny: Okay, you have to admit you — you — you’re overreacting a little bit.
Kate: It is the principle.
Sonny: Oh, the prin — okay, on that case, I swear to you on the bible, that I did not rig the tables. I did not mess with the cards. You won every chip because of your ability and your talent.
Kate: Has that line worked for you in the past?
Sonny: This time I mean it.
[Sonny laughs]
Kate: Right, yeah, this time you mean it. This is so your S.O.P.
Sonny: My what?
Kate: Your standard operating procedure, right? You bring your flavor of the month to the island. You make sure she has a fabulous time; make sure she wins a bundle. Then when she’s all head spinning, feet off the ground, you seduce her.
Sonny: Good, because I was thinking about what we were going to do next. Let’s go in the bedroom –
Kate: Just admit that I’m right.
Sonny: Admit that — okay, look, in the past I have been generous.
Kate: See? See?
Sonny: But not tonight.
Kate: And you expect me to believe that?
Sonny: Kate, you said it was important to you. I’m not — I wasn’t going to mess with you in that way.
Kate: Okay, see, I want to believe you, all right?
Sonny: Okay.
Kate: I mean, after all, what kind of marriage can we have if I can’t trust you?
Kate: Are you ready?
Sonny: Careful, because you’ve got a nice tray of chips right there. You could buy yourself some shoes or star-studded champagne glasses.
Kate: Flutes. They’re called flutes. And stop stalling. I know you’re just looking for a way to cheat.
Sonny: If you knew anything about cutting cards, you’d know it can’t be rigged.
Kate: But you’re Sonny Corinthos. You could find a way.
[Sonny laughs]
Kate: What’s so funny?
Sonny: Nothing, I just like to see you all, you know, fired up.
Kate: Mm.
Sonny: You want to blow on them?
Kate: Cut the cards.
Sonny: Okay, all I’m saying is this is really crazy, because you won the money legitimately, right? And to bet it all on one cut of cards — that’s something like my dad would do.
Kate: Oh, don’t compare me to your father. That’s not going to get you in my bikini anytime soon. Just so you know.
Sonny: Okay, what if — what –
Kate: Cut the cards.
Sonny: What if I win? What do I get?
Kate: You get the chips. You can do whatever you want with them, and, if you refuse, I might just leave the island tonight. Who knows what I’ll do about our wedding. Cut the cards, please.
Sonny: What if you win?
Kate: Oh. If I win, I get a bouquet, picked by your own gorgeous hands.
Sonny: Flowers?
Kate: Mm-hmm. Yes, and I can see it strikes terror in your macho heart. So I know that you’ll be legit. Now, cut the cards.
Sonny: All right, let’s see what we got here. Ready?
Kate: I’m ready.
Sonny: Okay.
Kate: All right, it’s a queen. Bye-bye Christian Cartullo wedges.
Sonny: Okay, hey — hey — hey it’s all right. You got your turn, right?
Kate: I’m not going to beat a queen.
Sonny: Cut the cards, tough guy.
