[Outside Kelly's]
(Georgie has just listened to Dillon's conversation with his mom. Dillon slams his cell phone down on the table)
Georgie: (Walks up) Dillon, your mom obviously doesn't get how much you hate it here.
Dillon: How long have you been standing there?
Georgie: I wasn't eavesdropping. I was...I was waiting for you to get off the phone and...maybe your mom will reconsider once she's had some time to think.
Dillon: She was on her way out the door, you know? She was going to some party or something. I should...it was really my fault I should have known better. She has her life. I have mine. It's not a big deal.
Georgie: It still hurts to find out you're not a priority with your mother.
Dillon: At least your mother's missing in action because your great-grandmother's sick. I mean, mine...mine has a full social calendar.
Georgie: Yeah, my great-grandmother's sick this time but you don't know how many times Maxie and I have been dumped just so she can go off on another one of her wild adventures.
Dillon: What is this, a competition?
Georgie: I'm just trying to say...
Dillon: I know what...I know what you...I know what you're trying to do, and I appreciate it, but forget it.
Georgie: I'm too relieved to forget. I know this is really, really selfish, but I'm really glad your mom turned you down.

Dillon: So I know your not sadistic enough to enjoy watching me humiliate myself.
Georgie: You didn't humiliate yourself, Dillon. You called your mom. It's not your fault she's too self-centered to care about you. It only proves your better off without her, and besides, I'm really glad you're stuck here. Everyone treats me like Maxie's little sister, the straight-A geek, and you're the only one who treats me like a real person. And you care about my ideas and what I think, you act like I'm interesting and fun, instead of just an alien from another planet.
Dillon: (Smiles) Well, maybe that's because I feel like I'm an alien. You know, I don't...I don't get the whole high school thing any better than I get the life-at-home thing. I don't belong here, or with my mom or anywhere with anyone. Except with you. And that is the real reason why I shouldn't have called her. It's because as bad a place as this is, I wouldn't want to leave it, if it meant leaving you.
(Georgie smiles)

(Dillon sees Jason talking to Lorenzo Alcazar out the window at Kelly's. When Alcazar leaves, he comes out to talk to Jason)
Dillon: Jason? Hi. Hi. Um, I don't know if you remember me or not?
(Alcazar comes back but stops when he sees Dillon talking to Jason)
Jason: Well, you're a Quartermaine. Dillon, right?
Dillon: Yeah. Yeah, I'm Tracy's son. Um, the thing is she kind of just dropped me off on the Quartermaines' and split, which would be no problem except for the fact that I can't stand those people. Uh, event he ones who mean well are driving me nuts, and the rest of them, like grandfather and AJ, I'm learning to hate.
Jason: Is there something you want?
Dillon: No, yeah...I mean, I...the thing is they're always telling me what a problem I am and they're saying I'm going to turn out like you. And I guess that's supposed to be some sort of insult, but you know...I don't know you seem to like your life ok, which is more than I can say for any of them. I don't know if you noticed or not. I was at the...I was at the police station when you told the old man you don't need him. I don't need him either. And that's why I want to work for you.

[General Hospital]
(Georgie walks off the elevator and sees Maxie talking to Kyle)
Kyle: Am I a genius or what? As long as you keep up this candystriping, you've got everyone thinking you're Little Miss Responsible.
Maxie: You know, it's so amazing. Mac is so relieved that I'm doing something worthwhile. I mean, he barely gave me any grief last night.
Kyle: Watch it's going to get even better. Every hour you spend in this uniform is going to buy you two hours off duty and hassle free.
Georgie: Get lost. Or I'm gong to tell Mac that Maxie's using this job as an excuse to hang out with a loser like you.
Maxie: (Stands up) Yeah. Well you know what Georgie? If you even think about that, I will make sure that you never see Dillon again.

[Outside Kelly's]
Dillon: You know, the Quartermaines' talk about you like you're dead. You know they say you're lost. They say it's a tragedy. I don't see it that way. I mean, you had a chance to escape, you took it. You're free. You don't have to listen to their insanity, You don't have to ask them for anything. I swear to you, if you give me a job, I wont ask questions, I won't go to the police, I will be the most dedicated, devoted employee you ever had.
Jason: You always talk so much?
Dillon: Actually, no
Jason: OK
Dillon: I guess I'm nervous
Jason: Just listen, listen for a second, trust me I understand why you want to get away from the Quartermaines. And I can help you. I can give you some money. I can even find you a job. But it's not going to be with me and Sonny.
Dillon: Why not? I mean, I can handle myself, you know? Where's that guy? That guy that you were talking to, Alcazar? I picked his pocket, OK? I mean, I know how to hot-wire cars, and anything else you need, you can teach me. I'll learn.
Jason: I'm just saying there's no job for you in Sonny's organization.
Dillon: I mean, it's OK for you, but it's not OK for me? Come on, man, I didn't think you'd turn out to be a hypocrite, OK? I mean, you know you had a chance to come work for Sonny, you took it, you obviously like it. Why can't I get my chance?
Jason: Hey. Hey! I'm going to tell you something. Quit trying to make grandfather angry. You're wasting your time. Figure out what you want to do with your life and then go after that. In the meantime, I can help you. I can give you the money that you need to get away from those people.
Dillon: I don't want your charity! You know what? Oh, go to hell I'll do this on my own (goes inside)
Jason) Good. (Leaves)

[General Hospital]
Georgie: Dillon's going through a really hard time right now and nobody would've been hurt if you guys weren't complete narcs and ran straight to Mac!
Maxie: You know what, Georgie? I was trying to stop you from getting into trouble, OK?
Georgie: You're the one who's in trouble! After all this guy's put you through, you still can see that he's a lowlife loser?
Kyle: No, I'm not the one with multiple arrests.
Georgie: Yeah, because Maxie's so gullible to press charges or tell Mac about all the crap you've pulled!
(Tony walks up)
Tony: Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey, keep you voices down. This is a hospital. You need to respect the rules.
Georgie: She's the one not respecting the rules! She's hanging out with this loser when she should be candy-striping!
Tony: Since when do you start to tattle on people? I've heard nothing but compliments about her and plus candy-stripers do get breaks, you know? I thought you were going to volunteer?
Georgie: I would rather die than be stuck-up like her! (Leaves)

[Kelly's]
(Georgie and Dillon are sitting at the bar)
Dillon: I ask for a job from my cousin, the gangster, and he turns me down. I mean, he didn't come right out and say it, but I know he was thinking, he's thinking, "I'm going to save this kid from a life of crime."
Georgie: Maybe that's not such a bad thing.
Dillon: No! Do you see, Georgie that's the point! I can handle myself, you know?
(Lorenzo walks up)
Lorenzo: That was my impression. (Dillon & Georgie both turn around) I caught a little of your conversation with your cousin. I understand you need a job. I don't have anything permanent to offer you at the moment, but I'll pay you to run an errand for me.
Dillon: How much?
Georgie: Wait a minute. Dillon won't do anything dangerous or illegal.
(Both Georgie and Dillon watch Alcazar count out money)
Lorenzo: This is neither. (Hands Dillon money) All you have to do is hold onto this envelope (pulls envelope out of his coat) for twenty-four hours. And then hand...hand deliver it to Sonny Corinthos. (Hands Dillon envelope)
(Dillon takes it)
