Memorable Quotes from Sonny & Carly
Part 2 Contributed By Suzi

First Signs of Love

Carly: I guess that I should've realized that people will say anything when somebody's dying in order to help you through it, you know?
Sonny: What do you mean?
Carly: Alexis made something up because I guess that she was trying to help me, but I wish she would've picked some other meaningless thing to say. Because she said that you told her that you wanted her to tell me that you love me. Like you would be thinking about me when you were laying there shot. You were probably telling her these are the orders that you wanted to give to Benny, right?
Sonny: I think I did. Then I realized that I couldn't breathe and I couldn't speak very well, and it occurred to me that I was probably going to die and I didn't want to. Not without telling my wife what she's given me. Not with out telling my wife what she is to me. So I grabbed Alexis and I told her to tell you that I love you. Because I love you with everything I have.

Carly: I never thought that you'd say that you love me. Or that, you know, you even ever really would.
Sonny: Now you know.
Carly: I wasn't sure if you wanted me to love you.
Sonny: We had a rough start.
Carly: Yeah. That's one way of putting it. I have loved you for a long time. You're my whole life, you know? When I almost lost you, it wasn't going to happen. You weren't going to die. I stood right here, and I prayed as hard as I've ever prayed for anything, not that I deserve to have any prayers answered or that I even really know what I'm doing. But your heart stopped, you know that?
Sonny: No.
Carly: The nurse said, "Call it." They wanted to say that you were dead. They wanted to pronounce you dead and let you go. I started screaming, yelling, pushed my way in here, and I was going to shock you myself if I had to. How hard can it be, right? But then they gave it one more try, and your heart started right up again.
Sonny: Your prayers were answered, huh?
Carly: I think they just wanted to shut me up.
Sonny: Yeah, that too.
Carly: I think I would've made a deal with the devil if I had to.
Sonny: If you did, tell me now.
Carly: No, I don't think I did. I'd know, right?
Sonny: You'd know.
Carly: I love you. I always will.

Carly: I knew you'd come back and you'd fall asleep with me in your arms and I'd wake up safe. We got through the worst of it now.
Sonny: That's right.
Carly: You know, when I was sitting there on the altar and I was waiting for you to come back, do you think that God was watching over me, that he was, like, giving me faith?
Sonny: You wouldn't stop fighting, that's all.
Carly: That's because my heart wouldn't let go. Nothing can keep us apart now. Not even us.

Carly: Sonny?
Sonny: Yeah? Oh, boy.
Carly: This isn't the part where you disappear and never come back because you love me so much, is it?
Sonny: I'd have been gone by now.
Carly: Just checking.
Sonny: Now, it's not going to take you, like, two weeks to get ready is it?

Sonny: Bless me, father, for I have sinned. I -- I hurt Carly deliberately. I -- I was cruel. I made her cry. But she sees right through me, father. She still wants me. She doesn't want to leave. I don't know how that happened. I thought spending my life alone was the price I had to pay for the way I live and the things that I do, but I guess you thought different. You exploded Carly into my life. Nothing is like before. The dark places are light, the quiet is noisy. I got a home full of love that I -- I never thought I -- I would have. I don't deserve Carly, but I love her and she loves me. And that' s what scares me. People who love me die. Maybe I should be asking you to give me more strength to push her away or for the power to leave her and never look back. But, you know, I -- I don't want to be strong. I want Carly in my life even if it's dangerous for her. I know that's wrong and it's selfish, but I'm a selfish man and I do bad things. But please don't punish Carly for my life. Protect her from harm and help me keep her safe. Help her be happy. And if a life has to end, if someone has to pay for the things that I've done, take me, not Carly. Until then, all I ask of you is to watch over her as much as you can, keep her safe, and let her know how much I love her even though I can't say those words sometimes. Thank you for sending someone who loves me for now and forever.  These things I ask in the name of the father, son, holy spirit. Amen.
Carly: Ok, ready?
