Christmas Cheer, 1996


(Edward Quartermaine approaches Sonny & Joseph)

Sonny: Merry Christmas! How can we help you?

Edward: Where's the proprietor?

Sonny: We're here to serve your Yuletide needs.

Edward: Good Lord...you've added Christmas to your roster of criminal enterprises.
Or is this a front for something?

Monica: Edward, we don't care. We need a tree and we need it now!
(to Sonny) Is Jason around?

Sonny: You just missed him.

AJ: (finds a tree) This is the one, right here.

Edward: Well check it for explosives!

(Justus Ward sees Sonny, and walks over laughing)

Justus: Sonny?

Sonny: Ho, ho, ho to you too there counselor!

Justus: Oh, this made my day!

Monica: How much is this tree?

Sonny: I'm gonna have to check on my list here, cause it might be reserved.

Edward: Well unreserve it! This is for the pediatric wing of the hospital,
and my money is just as good as anyone elses!

Monica: Edward, just write a check and let's get out of here.

Edward: (to Sonny) It's a dark day when I'd be writing a check to you!

Sonny: Could you make that out to cash...and could you give me your picture ID please?

Edward: (glares) All right, how much?

Sonny: Uh, for you? I'd say about $5,000 bucks.

Edward: Don't be ridiculous Corinthos. What are you doing, smuggling diamonds in it?

Sonny: Well I'm just working here, you know. But if you want to bargain, tomorrow it'll be cheaper.
