Kate: It’s a simple question. Yes or no? Did you have sex with Carly the night you took Michael to the institute?
Sonny: Yeah.
Sonny: I’m sorry. I never — I never wanted you to know –
Kate: A lie is a really bad way to start a marriage.
Sonny: It happened once in — in an extreme circumstance.
Kate: According to everyone else, it’s routine behavior for you –
Sonny: It’s not — okay –
Kate: And Carly.
Sonny: It’s not going to happen again. I promise you. I regret what happened. It will never happen again.
Kate: Why should I trust you?
Sonny: Because I — I — I did it — I didn’t — I didn’t –
Kate: What?
Sonny: I was — we were taking Michael to the institute.
Kate: Uh-huh.
Sonny: We were putting him in. We were saying our goodbyes. We went — we went to the car. It was raining. We started to talk about Michael, his hopes, his dreams. She started to cry.
Sonny: One thing led to — led to another.
Kate: What about me, the person you swore that you loved? What about me? Did I even cross your mind?
Sonny: When I was with Carly, if I had been thinking about you, I wouldn’t have done it.
Kate: Oh… there’s my answer. Carly overwhelms everything in your life.
Sonny: That’s not true. I just found out that you had paid off Ian Devlin –
Kate: I paid off Ian Devlin to keep you from going to jail, to keep you from killing him, so that you wouldn’t throw your life away. But never mind, right? Because all you saw was betrayal. So you were under no obligation to be faithful.
Sonny: I’m not trying to justify or — or — or, you know, make an excuse for what I did. I’m just trying to tell you what happened. I was taking my — my son, who was in a coma, and I put him in the institution. There was a lot of things going on at that time. Things were coming down on me. Carly and I, you know — it’s like — I hate what happened. And afterwards, you know, we — we both knew it was a mistake. And true to form, like Carly, she — right after, you know, she hands me this document to — so I would sign over my kids.
Kate: Wait, Carly had sex with you so that you would sign over your kids?
Kate: So Carly already had these papers in her purse, already drawn up by the lawyer.
Sonny: Yeah. And then after, you know, we –
Kate: Yeah, after you had sex, right. So she pulled them out of her purse and asked you to sign away your kids? Wow, I really didn’t think I could like her any less.
Sonny: Okay, first of all, we were — we were… we were both wrong. When she pulled out those papers, I — I was furious and I told her. I said, “You know what? You’re using sex to get me to give up my kids.” But the truth is that, you know, the — the sex came out of pain and grief. And afterwards, we both regretted it. And I — and I got to tell you, I felt like, for — for the first time in a long time, I realized how destructive we are. And the reason I didn’t tell you… was because I didn’t want to hurt you… because it didn’t matter. It still doesn’t matter. Nothing’s changed.
Sonny: You still want to marry me?
Kate: Maybe you think nothing’s changed. Maybe you think that you can still marry me and you can still continue this bond with Carly.
Sonny: There is no bond with Carly.
Kate: Do you have any idea how many people warned me, Sonny? Do you? And I chose not to believe them, and now I’m the fool. It doesn’t matter how much regret you and Carly have or how much pain you have caused yourself or other people. You and Carly will never be over.
Sonny: Okay, I’m going to tell you again. I don’t want to have anything to do with Carly. She brings out the worst in me. You bring out the best.
Sonny: Do you know that you have made me… feel hope… for the first time… in a long time?
Sonny: Don’t give up on me.
Kate: Look in my eyes, and you swear to me, you swear to me that you can never go back to Carly. Can you do that?
Sonny: I swear to you.
Kate: I can’t believe you, Sonny. I can’t.
