2003 Special! Jason Morgan first meets Samantha McCall

Sam: Well, it must be crowded around here if the cops have got to double up on two total strangers, huh?

Jason: I don't think it's a mistake.             Sam: Why not? Jason: Because they're hoping to get something out of it --

your testimony against me. Sam: Well, I might be willing if I had any idea who you are.

I'm Sam. Sam McCall. I'm in for aiding and abetting Sonny Corinthos.

Jason: Jason Morgan. Me too.

March 30, 2004

Sam: "Do you ever think for yourself" Jason: "Oh yes Sam all the time" Sam: "Okay then what are you thinking right now" Jason: "Wow, I'm wishing that you would just shut up!"

April 1, 2004

Jason: What are you --? Sam: I don't know what I’m doing! My dress! Jason: Forget the dress! Sam: Jason, please, get it off! Jason: Look what you did to the rug! Sam: It's going to stain! I'm begging you! Please -- it's

going to stain! Sonny bought me this dress! I can't get it off! I'm not going to be able to get it off!

Jason: Ok, ok, ok, ok. Sam: Please help me.

May 3, 2004

Sam: You can -- you can do something wrong, something you regret, and still love someone. You can be -- you can be a liar and a hustler -- you can be trash -- but it doesn't mean that you don't feel.

Jason: You're not trash.

May 28, 2004

Jason: Are you doing anything next Thursday? Sam: I don't think so. Why? Jason: We're getting married. Sam: Married? To you? No, no. Not a chance.

Sam: Oh, right. I almost forgot. You'll have to forgive me, I'm fairly new at this, but when the signal comes, it's pretty hard to miss, isn't it? Ok, then, yeah. This is me making myself scarce. Jason, consider our discussion closed. I, Sam, most definitively do not take you, not for all the money in the world, and you know how I like money.

June 4, 2004

Jason punches Jax out for calling Sam trash and Sam's in the background smiling.

June 8, 2004

Jason: I'd like to hear. Sam: No, you wouldn't. You're just going to laugh. Jason: Have I ever laughed at you? Sam: I was in a church like this. Stained glass windows,

candles, a long, white dress and a bouquet of flowers. I could picture myself walking down the aisle, looking like a princess out of a fairy tale.

June 16, 2004

Sam: I just figured it out. Jason: What? Sam: Why I sleep so much better at your apartment.

Because you make me feel safe.

June 17, 2004

Jason: Yeah, but you're not -- you're not alone, because I promised to help you, and the offer still stands.

Sam: After everything I’ve done? Jason: Yeah, well -- this baby deserves a good life. I can

support you both. And I will be the best father I can be. Sam: I know. Jason: And I also happen to know a lot more about

parenting than you ever will.

June 29, 2004

Jason: It's not as easy as you think, Sam. Ok, look, I'm going to do everything I can to stop Nico. But if something goes wrong, take this, you point, pull the trigger, ok? You don't have to be real accurate when you aim a shotgun.

Sam: I think I can take care of myself, Jason. Jason: Well, you're tough, huh?

June 29, 2004

Sam: Can you feel it? Jason: The baby's kicking.

July 1, 2004

Dr. Meadows: On the contrary, your baby is trying to show itself. We've got the perfect position to determine gender. Do you want to know?

Jason: It's up to you. Sam: I don't know. Yeah -- yes, yes. I'm dying to know. Who

am I kidding? Dr. Meadows: Well, I am happy to be the one to tell you

congratulations, parents. You're having a baby girl.

July 8, 2004

Jason: Congratulations, baby girl. You did a great job. You didn't cry once.

Sam: Oh. Jason: Aw. Sam: She knew there was no reason for tears, right, baby?

And who would've thought Sonny, Michael, Morgan -- they were all at your christening, and they were so proud of you. They love you, just like Jason and I love you.

July 13, 2004

Sam dreams of Sonny but switches to Jason dancing with her instead.

July 13, 2004

Carly: Jase, what has happened to you? Why can you not see that she is a danger?

Jason: And I'll protect Sam and the baby from anyone, Carly. And that includes you. So don't convince yourself that you're helping me because I don't need it and I don't want it.

July 14, 2004

Jason: She told me that's how -- that's how it is with love. She said the heart had a long memory.

Sam: Would it be ok with you if we name the baby Lila? Jason: You want to? Sam: I just think she would be another Lila Morgan. And

maybe your grandmother could be like a guardian angel for her.

Jason: Yeah, I think my -- I know my grandmother would love for the baby to have her name.

July 19, 2004

Sam: Well, I know you probably want to get back to your game. I just -- I wanted to introduce you to my friend Jason. He's a really good friend of mine.

Danny: Hi, Jason. Jason: Hey, Danny. You were -- you were here before when I

came. Danny: I ran out the door. Jason: No, it's -- it's ok. I'm sorry. I -- I didn't mean to scare

you.

August 10, 2004

Sam: I want to concentrate on everything I have to look forward to now. I mean, especially my little girl.

Jason: I'm -- I’m glad you agreed to stay. Sam: Me, too. I mean, this is -- this is going to be good for her, Jason.

And I don't know. I mean, who knows? It just -- it just might work out for all of us.

August 12, 2004

Sam: I will do it. And I want to take off my shoes. I'm going to be barefoot, pregnant, in the kitchen -- exactly the way you like your women.

Jason: On second thought, I'll cook. Sam: I was -- I was teasing. Come on. Jason: I -- I know. Sam: Ok. Well, then, a good way to show that you get a joke is to

smile or something, laugh. You know, I'm serious, Jason. Children model their parents' behavior, and suppose she grows up and she doesn't know how to smile. Do you really want to be responsible for a humor-impaired child? No, I don't think so. You need practice -- lots of practice.

September 2, 2004

Sam: Sonny isn't going to be the one to help her find her shoes, Jason, or read her the same book over and over again or be there to grab her for a nightmare. That will be you.

Jason: Yeah, I mean, what does it matter as long as she feels safe and loved, right?

Sam: That's my point! You are going to be the one to love her. Sonny's going to be more like an uncle than a dad. Yeah, he's going to see her from across the hall, bring her gifts from time to time, but he is not going to be there every day.

Jason: His name will be on the birth certificate. Sam: Yes -- it's paperwork. He will be the father of record.

You, Jason, you will be her dad.

September 3, 2004

Sam: Whoa, whoa, no, no, no, hold on! What, are you throwing me out now?

Jason: I'm just saying that my life is not going to change. It's dangerous, and I understand if you and your daughter don't want to be around it.

Sam: I listened in on your conversation with Sonny because I knew he was mad at you and I didn't want anything to happen. I wanted to make sure of that. But I would never judge you, Jason, or tell you how to live. After everything you've done for me, I'm going to accept you exactly the way you are.

September 21, 2004

Jason: Sam, I can take care of myself. And I can take care of you and the baby if that's what you want.

Sam: It is. I want to go back to your apartment and I want to bore you with all my baby books and DVD’s and stuff. Look, I know you've done, like, everything for me, and if you don't mind --

Jason: What? Sam: I'm starving, but I don't have any money. Would you buy me

something to eat, please? I know. Jason: You know, I'm going to take your bag to the car and I'm

going to let you order yourself something. Sam: Thank you.

September 23, 2004

Jason: I didn't have a life until Sonny gave me a job. I wasn't who I am now. You know, I was -- I was nothing except the Quartermaines' terrible loss. And none of them except, you know, my grandmother and Emily treated me like a person. I sure didn't feel like a person. But Sonny gave me a chance.

Sam: Jason, I get that. But it doesn't mean he can treat you like his own personal punching bag. He should respect you.

Jason: He does. Sonny supported me the way a father supports his son. Yeah, you know what? He can be unfair sometimes, but he is loyal to a fault, and he always protects the people he loves. Listen, Sam, you know, Sonny may struggle with his decisions, but eventually he will make the right choice for your daughter.

Sam: You know what's funny? You just described the perfect father. And it's not Sonny. It's you.

October 1, 2004

Jason: Where's your wedding ring? You didn't lose it, did you?

Sam: I left it on the kitchen sink. Jason: Oh. Sam: You can forgive me? Jason: Always. Woman: My apologies, young lady. I jumped to the wrong

conclusion.

You hear that, little girl? Somebody's

looking out for us.

October 21, 2004

Jason: What? Sam: It's hiccups. Jason: Hiccups? Sam: Yeah. Jason: Are you uncomfortable? Sam: No. No, not at all. I'm actually -- I'm kind of enjoying

it.

October 22, 2004

Michael: I need to talk to you. Jason: What? About what? Michael: I changed my mind. Jason: Ok. With what? Michael: I'm ok if you fall in love with Sam.

October 25, 2004

Sam: No, I mean, you're right about Carly. I see it every time she looks at me. I mean, she's not just mad that I’m carrying Sonny's baby, Jason. She's mad that I am living here with you.

Jason: It's more than that. Carly's mad because I like you. Sam: You like me? Jason: Sure Sam: Thanks, I like you too.

October 25, 2004

Sam: That's probably why you work so much -- because you probably don't mind getting shot if it, you know, buys you a little peace and quiet.

Jason: Yeah, well, that's what I always thought I wanted. You know the last time I took off; I traveled all over the place. I would go for days without talking to anybody, and, Sam, it is easier.

Jason: But in the end, easy wasn't what I wanted. Sam: Me, either. I mean, let's face it -- having a baby isn't

easy. And the idea of being a mother still scares me to death, but I am, Jason -- I am looking forward to it more than anything. I guess I just realized that easy doesn't always get you everything. I mean, sometimes, the things that are the most difficult end up being the best.

November 4, 2004

Sam: Well, I was thinking that once the baby gets here maybe you, me, and the baby could go visit him. And I know Hawaii’s a long flight, but I was just -- you know, Danny really wants to see her, and I think it would --

Jason: Don't, you know, babies have to be a certain age before they fly?

Sam: I don't know, you know? I don't know. I'll put it on my list of things to ask Dr. Meadows, but if she says yes, what do you say?

Jason: You know, I probably -- Sam: Don't -- please don't say you have to work. Come on. Say

you'll come with us. Jason: Ok. Sam: Ok? Do you promise? Jason: Yeah, I promise.

November 8, 2004

Jason and Sam comfort one another in the midst of tragedy. The loss of their precious little daughter, Lila Morgan.

In the Arms of an Angel

November 10, 2004

Jason: You know, Sam always respected the choice you made to stay with your family. She's not angry about that.

Sonny: You know, you -- she had you to lean on. You supported her, you know? You shouldn't have to be the one to tell her.

Jason: No, she needs to hear it from me. Sonny: You really care about her, don't you? Jason: Yeah. Yeah, I do.

November 18 2004

Sam's dream: Sam holding Lila for the first time with Jason by her side

December 2-3, 2004: First Kiss

Jason: Are you ok? Sam: I've been wondering what it would be like to kiss you.

I mean, I'd be going along and I'd be thinking, you know, in the back of my head, "What would it be like to kiss Jason?" And now I know. I do. I know. It makes me feel dizzy. Jason, the whole room is spinning. Oh. Ok, this is nice.

Jason: Sam, just -- just try to go to sleep. Sam: Mm-hmm.

December 8-9, 2004: Second Kiss

Sam: I'm not drunk. Jason: Yeah, I know that. Sam: What I mean is the last time I kissed you, I was drunk.

Or maybe we kissed -- I'm not sure -- and you just stood there and you let me, but I’m a little hazy on the details, except -- except for the part where it felt right. Kissing you is something I’ve been wanting to do for a really long time, and I finally did, but I’m not drunk. I kind of wish I was.

December 9, 2004

Jason: It's not going to be a problem now, but every relationship I’ve been in; it's been a problem, Sam. You know what, I’d rather be shot than talk about any of this, but I know how it's all going to happen. You're going to ask me where I’ve been. I'm not going to answer. I'm going to come home hurt; you're going to be scared. And someday, no matter how hard I try to protect you, you are going to see me working. And it's brutal. And from that day on, you will be afraid -- just a little bit, you know, in the back of your mind, Sam, and I don't want you to be afraid of me. I don't -- that's just why we're better off being friends.

Sam: I want to agree with you. I do Jason, I want to agree with you. I want to say ok. I'd be lying. And I don't ever want to lie to you. This is more than friendship. Or at least to me it is.

December 28, 2004

Jason: No. I invited you over here so I could ask you to move back in with me. I miss you. I miss your voice, your stuff laying around, the way you know what I'm thinking without me even saying a word.

Sam: Anything to stop you from talking, right? Jason: It's a lot more than that. You seem to like it here. You seem to

be ok with my work, with things I can't discuss. And you never tried to change me into someone else.

Sam: It's a big step -- ahem -- moving in with you. I mean, I don't know. I'm going to have to think about it for a little bit.

Jason: Ok. Sam: I just -- Jason: Just, you know, you can take all the -- Sam: Yes. Jason: What? Sam: I thought about it, and I was -- I was going to ask you the same

thing before Bridget stopped me and gave me the baby. I miss you, Jason, and I want to live with you. So my answer is yes.

December 28, 2004-January 3, 2005

Jason and Sam celebrate New Years Eve!

Sam: Three, two -- Jason: What is --? Sam: Happy New Year. Jason: Happy New Year to you.

Hope You Enjoyed the Show!
