And has no idea he's about to come to face to face with his father.

Scene: Luke's Club. Sonny has just come from the Outback, where Lois informed him that someone
stole the Idle Rich's speakers (we know it was Mike Corbin).

Upon entering Luke's, Sonny sees the speakers in question.

Luke: Our newest acquisition.

Sonny: (very angry) Where the hell did you get these?

(fade to black)

Sonny: (very angry) Where'd you get these speakers?

Luke: Why?

Sonny: You see the "I" crossed with the dollar sign?

Luke: Yeah, so?

Sonny: So...this happens to be the logo of the Idle Rich. The band was unloading equipment in the parking lot
of The Outback for their gig tonight. They set the speakers by the van.
They come back to get them...no speakers. They don't just sprout legs and walk.

Luke: We got a problem.

Sonny: Yeah.

(fade to black)

Sonny: (still furious) Damn right we have a problem.

Luke: Well here's what went down: I called Mac Scorpio to see if I could borrow some computer software
to take care of the inventory, until I can shop around and get some software for ourselves.

Sonny: Right.

Luke: Well, Stone was busy, so Mike volunteered to go to The Outback and pick up the disks for me.

Sonny: Mike who?

Luke: Oh, Mike Corbin. I hired him as Maitra'D. He's a sort of troubleshooter.
He'll even tend bar every once in a while.

Sonny: So what does this have to do with the speakers?

Luke: Well, on the way back from The Outback, he spotted them...uh, at a yard sale.
There was a woman trying to unload them fast, so he got 'em at a very good deal.

Sonny: Oh, some deal! I had to buy two speakers an hour before a gig. Luke, can this guy's butt!

Luke: All right, well, that's my first reaction too. But it's...damn...I was really starting to like him.

Sonny: Well, I thought you were a good judge of character. You're making me wonder.

Luke: (turns away) Well maybe I can sit him down and have a talk. Tell him what the boundaries are.

Sonny: Well, if this guy has to be told that stealing my property
is not acceptable behavior...you got yourself a problem.

Luke: Maybe I can throw a scare into him.

Sonny: Scare him with what?

Luke: Not what, (turns to look at Sonny)...who.

(fade to black)

(Mike returns to Luke's with a dot matrix printer. Sonny's gone...for now)

Mike: Well, where do you want the antique boss?

Luke: Put it down anywhere.

Mike: Look, I'm sorry. I stopped off for a fast dinner.

Luke: (nods) Mike...tell me where you got those speakers again.

Mike: Well, this lady was unloading them cheap, because her rock n' roll kid was driving her up the wall.
So I did her favor.

Luke: (shakes head) Sorry. That is just not the answer I'm looking for.

(fade to black)

Luke: You lifted these speakers out of the parking lot at The Outback.
No little old lady; no $500 bargain. Am I wrong?

Mike: Well, when you're right, you're right.

Luke: We had a deal Mike; no hot goods passing through these doors!

Mike: Sure, but then you make me a party to software piracy.
Now, that says to me that the man is not above a little larceny.

Luke: Oh come on! I borrow the software until I can get my own.
Are you telling me those are out on loan?

Mike: All right. I see that what we have is a little misunderstanding here. No problem, I'll return them.

Luke: It's too late Mike. Not only did you steal the speakers, and relieve me of
500 clams for goods which cost you nada...but the guy you stole these from turns out to be
just about the badest dude in Port Charles.

Mike: And who is that?

Luke: My partner, Sonny Corinthos.

Mike: (visibly shaken) Man, I really blew this.

Luke: Yeah well...you see this? That's the logo of the Idle Rich.
They're under contract to L&B records. Sonny Corinthos is their major partner.

Mike: I hear you. And I'll make good on this. But maybe we can just keep this between you and me?

Luke: I'm sorry Mike, it's too late. Sonny saw them the minute he walked in the door.
He's going to recognize them right away, isn't he? He's anxious to meet you.

(fade to black)

Luke: The last guy that crossed Sonny, took a shortcut into a Puerto Rican cemetery.
He's connected Mike. He's got a real funny thing about people who steal from him...
if you catch my drift.

Mike: Yeah, I catch it.

Luke: I don't know what to tell you. I don't know what I would do if I were in your shoes.
And I can't guarantee what Sonny will do, but I will tell you, it won't be pretty.

Mike: Maybe uh...maybe we can work something out. Maybe you can put a word in for me.

Luke: You better put the work in for yourself. (nods at Sonny, who has just walked in behind Mike)
Mike Corbin...Sonny Corinthos.

(Mike turns, and Sonny reacts to seeing him)

Mike: Hi kid.

Sonny: (laughs uneasily) You...you're Mike Corbin?

Luke: You two know each other?

Mike: Oh yeah, we go way back.

Sonny: (upset) He's my father.

(Luke is stunned)
