Steve: To Benjy and Sonia.

Kayla: Benjy and Sonia. All married and grown up. I can't believe it's been so long.

Sonia: Yeah, we're just glad you two made it.

Kayla: To dinner? We wouldn't miss it for the world.

Steve: No, I think they mean out of that human aquarium, the quarantine.

Kayla: Steve told me that you were at the hospital and that you're a big reason that we found our way back together.

Sonia: To Kayla and Steve, back together again.

Steve: To true love. You got that right, Benjy.

Kayla: True love.

Kayla: I'm sorry that took me so long. Where's Steve?

Steve: Listen, sorry to break up a great evening, but we got a problem. A friend of ours is on the way to the hospital.

Kayla: What?

Steve: It's John. He's been shot. They don't know if he's gonna make it.

Kayla: Shot? How... catch me up in the car. Listen, I'm sorry to cut this short. Let's keep in touch, all right? I'll get my coat.

Sonia: Hey, Steve, before you leave, Benjy has something --

Steve: It's gonna have to wait until next time. It was great catching up with you. Great to meet you. Good night.

Sonia: Benjy, go after him. Get it over with. Do what you came here to do.

Kayla: Marlena.

Steve: How's John doing?

Marlena: He opened his eyes.

Steve: That's a good sign, right?

Marlena: But he can't speak. He's got life-threatening injuries. He promised that he wouldn't get any more involved in this case.

Dr. Berman: Call radiology. We're gonna need a portable chest...

Marlena: I don't know why. Why would he get involved in this case again?

Kayla: Marlena, we all want the people we love to stay safe, but we can never change who they need to be.

Steve: Hey, man. You got to hang in there. You know, Marlena's outside with Kayla. She's gonna be fine as long as you come back to us.

John: [Choking] [Monitors beeping]

Steve: Hey, doc, something's wrong. Marlena, Kayla!

Marlena: John. Dr. Berman, he's convulsing. John, easy. We're right here. We're right here. You're gonna be okay.

Kayla: Marlena, you cannot go into the OR.

Marlena: I can suit up. He'll know that I'm there.

Kayla: He knows that you're there. Listen, he is fighting for his life and his family. He needs you to be strong for Belle. Listen, who can I call? Let me call somebody in your family.

Marlena: No, no. He can't die. He can't die.

Kayla: I'm gonna find out if there's any news. You gonna come with me?

Steve: I'm gonna hang here. You go on.

Kayla: I'll be right back.

Steve: Benjy, what the hell are you doing here, man? You forgot something? What? Something you need to give me? You came all the way down here. It must be something important. Hey, wait, what are you doing, man?
