Trevor: Corinthos tried to take us both out in one night, he blew it. Why else do you think he ran away to the Big Apple? New York -- your father's territory.

Johnny: My territory.

Trevor: Not unless you take action.

Johnny: This meeting you set up --

Trevor: The man you're going to negotiate with goes by the name of Moreau. He is a very secretive, savvy businessman with an eye to the future.

Johnny: Oh, businessman?

Trevor: He's a huge importer. He wants to set up a distribution deal.

Johnny: What's in it for me?

Trevor: 25%.

Johnny: And?

Trevor: An entire army. You handle this right, kid, we're going to eliminate Corinthos, take Port Charles, and restore order to our kingdom in New York.

****
Trevor: John, we are at war and it was inevitable. Corinthos fired the first shot.

Johnny: If it was you who was being shot at.

Trevor: What does that mean?

Johnny: Meaning I don't let you do my thinking for me.

Trevor: All right, John. What is it that you want to do, hmm? I am all ears.

Johnny: Ahem.

Trevor: Against my advice, you took this supposed truce meeting with Sonny. What happened?

Johnny: Nothing.

Trevor: Why, they didn't like your terms? You weren't receptive to them?

Johnny: I didn't talk to them.

Trevor: Why not?

Johnny: I saw Corinthos flipping out, screaming at Morgan that he wanted me dead.

Trevor: Oh, Johnny, don't be an ass. You're going to give him a second shot? Eliminate him.

Johnny: Yeah, eliminate the competition, because with Sonny out of the picture, you get another crack at Kate.

Trevor: That woman is out of my life forever.

Johnny: Yeah, I think this way you get it all, especially if Sonny and I kill each other.

Trevor: That's not what I want, John.

Johnny: That's right. You need me to hide behind.

Trevor: And you need me to stay alive.

Johnny: So this meeting --

Trevor: All right. John, you got to go alone to this meeting. I can't be seen with you.

Johnny: That's right. Otherwise, they think you're coaching me.

Trevor: No.

Johnny: Telling me what to do.

Trevor: You got to let them know that you are in charge.

Johnny: No problem.

Trevor: All right. So, you got to go unarmed. It's all right, John. Don't worry about it. They're not going to touch you. They won't harm a hair on your head, because they need you. You tell Moreau your terms and that they are not negotiable. Listen, John, we're at war. We need allies. So, there is no margin of error here if we want to take on Corinthos and Morgan and survive.

****
Trevor: Johnny, you tell Moreau that you're going to start with monthly shipments, and then if you're satisfied, you'll commit to more.

Johnny: Is this how you did it with my father?

Trevor: Oh, come on, we don't have time for this.

Johnny: Yeah, you told him to turn left, turn right often for so long that he didn't know his left from his right anymore. He just listened for the voice

Trevor: I advised.

Johnny: You dictated.

Trevor: Johnny, you know what I did was right, even if you won't admit it. Because I kept this business alive. When your father killed your mother, he couldn't even think for himself.

Johnny: I can.

Trevor: Then do it.

Johnny: It's not that complicated. I just need one of them to help me outman and outgun Corinthos.

Trevor: Don't let Moreau think that you are a pushy lunatic.

Johnny: Like my father?

Trevor: Oh, John -- just state your terms, stick to them, look him straight in the eye, and he's going to respect you.

Johnny: My father had people like this for lunch. I grew up watching him.

Trevor: John, it's a big mistake, big mistake. Don't be a cowboy. You are no Anthony Zacchara.

Johnny: Don't be so sure.

****
Johnny: Let's talk. What can I do for you? And what can you do for me?

Mobster: So, you're the man now, Junior?

Johnny: The name's John Zacchara -- Mr. Zacchara to you.

[Laughter]

Mobster: The kid's got stones.

Second mobster: Your father was one mean bastard. He knew how to get things done.

Johnny: You never met him.

Mobster: How would you know that?

Johnny: You'd be showing a hell of a lot more respect.

Mobster: I had plenty. You said "Anthony Zacchara," you knew what you were dealing with. The name shot fear through people's hearts.

Johnny: Fear is a pretty powerful motivator.

Mobster: Hmm. And now he's in the loony bin --

Johnny: Yeah.

Mobster: Paralyzed.

Second mobster: Those are big shoes to fill. That kind of respect gets earned. See, that's a mistake your father never would have made.

Johnny: Which one of you is Moreau?

Mobster: Lucky for you, he's not here yet.

Jason: The source you got this from -- it's reliable?

****
Mobster: Johnny Zacchara.

Johnny: Remember that name.

[Mobster pants]

Johnny: Tell Moreau you don't disrespect me. And you don't keep me waiting. Make sure he gets that message.
