Sonny: I don’t want the ring back. It’s –
Kate: I didn’t know it came with a lie.
Sonny: That’s not a lie.
Kate: Don’t.
Sonny: What do you mean?
Kate: Don’t, Sonny. Save your excuses. They don’t change anything. Turns out our history wasn’t enough to keep us together.
Sonny: This wasn’t some high school romance that we decided to relive. We fell in love. It was like brand-new, but this time, we can have our happy ending.
Kate: You really should leave.
Sonny: You are a successful woman, Kate. You’re not some checker working back at Prizzi’s in the old neighborhood whose only choice is to suck it up and go back to her, you know, cheating fiancé.
Kate: Yeah, that’s — that’s my point.
Sonny: You’re hurt. I know that, and I’m sorry, and you think, you know, love is — is a mistake, and it’s messy, and, you know, and it’s easier to just let it go instead of fighting for what you want. I know better.
Kate: Don’t.
Sonny: I know how happy you are when you’re in love.
Kate: Do I look happy?
Sonny: All right, look. I’m going to give you as much time as you need to be hurt, to be angry, to tell yourself that we’re over. Sooner or later, you’re going to know what I already know, that we should stay together.
Kate: You can’t charm your way out of this, Sonny. I’m not a dewy-eyed teenager who just folds when you flash your dimples.
Sonny: Believe me, I take this very –
Kate: No, you can’t fix this by carving your initials in a fence. I put my heart on the line for you.
Sonny: I know you did.
Kate: No, you don’t. No, you don’t know, and don’t say that you do. I left a very successful position in Manhattan in order to be in Port Charles with you. I risked my reputation. Kate Howard, who never took her eye off the prize, was willing to risk it all to marry a gangster. I was willing to love you. I was willing to keep trying because I believed in you, and all the while I was planning this fantastic wedding, you and Carly had a secret.
Sonny: No, we both made a mistake we wanted to bury.
Kate: No, I can’t — I can’t trust you, and if I can’t trust you, then we have no future, so I want you to take your ring and your explanations, and I want you to leave.
Sonny: You know, I was thinking that it’s probably best that the truth about Carly came out now. That way there won’t be any secrets.
Kate: Why don’t you just admit it? Admit that you would have been perfectly happy if I had never found out that you and Carly had sex. We would have gotten married. I would have been completely oblivious. Meanwhile, you would pretend that you weren’t living a lie.
Sonny: That would have been the end of it, Kate.
Kate: Until the next time you were alone with Carly.
Sonny: So, you’re telling me that if the truth hadn’t come out, you think I would have had sex with Carly again?
Kate: You wouldn’t be the first husband –
Sonny: You know me better than that, so –
Kate: Well, I thought I did.
Sonny: I don’t love easily, and you know that, so you’re telling me that everything that we have said to each other, everything that we have felt for each other is a lie?
Kate: I have work to do.
Sonny: Okay, hold on, hold on, hold on. I’ve got nothing else, you know, to lose here. So I’m going to ask you a question. I just want you to answer it. Do you — do you think I’ve been lying to you this whole time? Do you think I just — I just wanted to marry you for your money or your status or –
Kate: Don’t be ridiculous.
Sonny: Well, you know me. Why would I want — pretend to be with someone I don’t want to be with?
Kate: Well, you wouldn’t.
Sonny: Okay, answer this. You think I lied to you when I — when I told you I loved you?
Kate: I believe you that you love me.
Sonny: Then all you got to do is get past the pain, and I — I will be faithful to you for the rest of my life.
Kate: How am I supposed to believe that?
Sonny: It — it — it may one of the hardest things you ever do, but you got to take that leap. Because, I swear to you, I will protect your heart just like I’ll protect your life. All you got to do is marry me. We can still do this. I mean, you know, we can make — listen, all you got to do is say yes.
Kate: Please, Sonny. Just let me put this behind me so I can get on with my life.
Sonny: Which life? The one where you put your walls up to keep the feelings out? That safe life that you were so happy to leave behind?
Kate: It’s better than this pain.
Sonny: Listen to me. Don’t let a mistake, something that happened once and is not going to happen again, steal us from the life we planned together.
Maxie: Kate, I’m so sorry. My testimony went longer than expected. Oh, okay, um. I brought Spinelli to help me fix that email problem, so we’ll just go fix it now.
Spinelli: If I may offer my deepest condolences. Maximista shared the grievous news that your nuptials had been canceled due to Mr. Sir’s transgressions with — the Valkyrie.
Sonny: We’re having a — a private conversation.
Spinelli: Yeah — I — Mr. Sir’s trying to persuade the fashionista to forgive his dalliance, then all –
Kate: Okay, Maxie, we won’t be needing Mr. Spinelli’s assistance today. You can hold all my calls. Please close the door.
Maxie: Okay, mm-hmm.
Sonny: Kate, look at me. Look, do not let what — what just happened here derail us.
Kate: No, Spinelli’s good. It’s good they showed up. I was about to give in, and I know I’d regret it.
Sonny: No, you won’t. We deserve to be happy. We can be happy. I will not give up on us.
Kate: What if I said that I would forgive you, hmm? What would happen to us if I said that I would marry you?
