Patrick: Here's the chart for the guy from the accident.

Alexis: I thought all the new records were on digital.

Patrick: The printers are broken, so we're going back to the old system until we can fix it.

Alexis: All right, so is this guy going to be ready to testify by next week?

Patrick: Absolutely.

Alexis: Okay, that's it, Dr. Fabulous. Epiphany, all ready for the opening ceremony?

Epiphany: This hospital's supposed to be in the business of taking care of patients, not meeting and greeting. Monica Quartermaine should put her face up on the monitors in this hospital, say "welcome back," and leave it at that.

Alexis: You're not going to celebrate at all?

Epiphany: Do I need to remind you what happened the last time someone had a party in this hospital?

Alexis: Okay. I got your point. I'm still coming back for the ribbon cutting.

Epiphany: I don't have the records. I don't have anyone's records. This digital conversion is turning into a disaster.


Nikolas: That's about it for the tour.

Rebecca: Well, it's amazing. I'm trying to picture myself actually working in such a high-tech hospital.

Nikolas: The design team had some vision, didn't they?

Rebecca: Well, because they had great leadership.

Alexis: Nikolas really knows ho to pull together a project like this. He's obviously been inspired.

Rebecca: Well, I'm going to clock in and see you at the ceremony.

Nikolas: Okay. What? Think I'm getting too close, do you?

Alexis: No comment, but I will say that you are responsible for a truly astonishing renovation, and I'm really, really proud of you.

Nikolas: Well, thank you.

Alexis: You better be careful. You're going to give the Cassadines a good name. Love you.

Nikolas: Yeah.


Nikolas: Excuse me, everyone, if I could have your attention over here, please.

Monica: Come on over.

Nikolas: Thank you. I promise I'll keep this short so you all can go enjoy a tour. As you know, General Hospital is integral to the health and wellness of this community. It also boasts a long tradition of saving people's lives, making the sick better again, as well as creating jobs for this community. I for one happen to be proud to be a part of this reopening. I'd like to extend a special thanks to Carly Jacks, who unfortunately, could not be with us this afternoon. The pediatric head trauma unit was actually her idea. I'd also like to thank all the members of the board, specifically Edward Quartermaine and Jasper Jacks. Thank you. And that's it. I believe that our chief of staff, Monica Quartermaine, would like to say a few words. Monica?

[Applause]

Monica: Thank you all. Thank you all for being here for this newly renovated and much improved facility. I think without further ado --

Epiphany: Please, get these out of my way.

Monica: My pleasure. And with deep gratitude to Nikolas Cassadine and everyone who has made this day a reality. So, I now declare General Hospital newly reopened.

[Applause]

[Buzzers sounding]


Tracy: What was that?

Edward: Listen, what kind of shoddy construction did you push through on the building committee? I told you this project was moving --

Patrick: Listen, everybody, try and stay calm. We don't know if this is a real emergency or just a glitch in the system.

Tracy: Okay, all right.

[Audio feedback]

Helena: Congratulations. I'm delighted to see General Hospital is back in business, and didn't my grandson do a fabulous job on the renovations? I suggest you enjoy it, because it will be his last act of charity. Nikolas, my darling, everything I have done, as always, is for you. Until you meet my demands, no good deed of yours shall go unpunished.
