21, 2002 Transcript Kristina: I've narrowed down the field, but i need your input to make my final decision. Alexis: I've already made my final decision -- I'm not going. I'm sick. Kristina: What's wrong? Alexis: I have pneumonia -- Kristina: Oh. Alexis: Or dengue fever, or a metal plate in my head is picking up interstellar radio waves. Which do you think Scott will buy as an excuse why I cancel? Kristina: Well, I take it the truth isn't an option? Alexis: The truth -- I hadn't thought of that. What is the truth? Kristina: The truth is that the only reason you're going out on this date is to prove you're over Ned. Alexis: That is simply not true. Kristina: Ok, then it's to prove you're not interested in Sonny. My question is, who are you trying so hard to prove it to? Alexis: What on earth was I thinking? That's just awful. Dating is barbaric. It's uncivilized. People shouldn't date. Just dinner, right? Just dinner. Two people eating together. I mean, people have to eat. That's worse than the other one. Listen, I know Scott. We're -- you know, we know each other. We're in the courtroom. We argue all the time, of course, but he's -- you know, he's reasonably attractive. He's a nice guy. I suppose that's better than the others, I guess. We're both lawyers, so we have that in common. Kristina: Ok, so let's see -- after the fried calamari and comparing bar exam scores, what's left? Alexis: Scotty baldwin is left. We have absolutely nothing in common. He represents A.J. Quartermaine, who he knows is not only guilty but he's a lying, underhanded twit. I know that I have represented people knowing they were guilt. One in particular comes to mind. But they have principles and they have the right intent -- if not strict adherence to the law -- on their side. Scott will obviously take money and represent anybody for any reason -- even if he doesn't need the money because he's already wealthy, which shows that he's unprincipled. And he needs a decent haircut. Kristina: Are you done? Alexis: Maybe. Kristina: Ok. If that's the way you feel, then Ii will go and call him for you -- alexis: No, don't. I'm not -- I don't want to hurt his feelings. I mean, this was my idea in the first place. Kristina: I'll tell you, it wouldn't be a bad thing for Sonny to hear about this, either. Alexis: Number one, little sister -- I have asked you to stop that. Number two -- he wouldn't care if I went out with Mel Gibson. And number three -- even if he did, I would never resort to a tactic like that. Kristina: So is that why you're so graciously letting Sonny's sister stay here? Alexis: I offered to let Courtney stay here as a favor to Sonny, that's true. The less pressure she feels, the easier it'll be for her to figure things out. Kristina: And all the more reason for Sonny to come over here to show you his appreciation. Alexis: It is a difficult situation for both of them, and if it helps Sonny, good. If it helps Courtney, even better. Kristina: And Sonny is still a nonissue, right? Alexis: If anyone should appreciate being given the opportunity to get to know a lost sibling, it should be you and me. Kristina: Ok, you have a point. I'm sorry. Come here. Listen, wear -- wear the blue one, not the black one. It's a date, not a funeral. Alexis: One can only hope. Kristina: Listen, I'll tell you what -- I'll give you and Scott a little bit of time, and then, mid date, I'll call you on your cell phone, ok? And then if everything is going well -- Kristina: And the award for most stunningly reluctant date goes to -- alexis davis. Alexis: Thank you. Thank you so much. I'm -- I'm so surprised and -- Kristina: Yay. Alexis: That i'm unprepared and I'm speechless, except to say that you are really weird. [Kristina laughs] alexis: What men would ever get mixed up with either one of us? Kristina: Oh, I think I could name a few. Ahem. Alexis: Any of them that stand a chance? Kristina: Oh, absolutely. They just need a little encouragement. Alexis: Is that what you're doing with ned? Kristina: I don't know what i'm doing with ned, except I'm having a good time with him, which I think you should be having a good time, too. Alexis: I don't know if tonight is going to fall into that category. Kristina: You would be surprised. Alexis: Ok. Kristina: You know what? You know what I think would look really good with that outfit? Remember that diamond bracelet that I borrowed from you a few nights ago? I think that would go perfectly, and I'm going to go get that for you. Alexis: Oh, yes. I think that's going to make all the difference in the world. [Knock on door] Sonny: You ready? [Knock on door] Kristina: I'll get it. Here. Hello. Scott: Hi. Is Alexis around? Kristina: Oh, I don't know. Let me go check. I'm just kidding. You must be Scott. Scott: Yeah. Kristina: Come on in. Alexis: Don't pay any attention to my sister. This is Kristina. Scott: How are you? Kristina: Good. Scott: Well, you look good. Alexis: Oh. Well, thank you. So do you. Scott: And you really look good in that sort of Caribbean blue. Alexis: Oh, well, thank you again. So, how you doing? Scott: I'm sneaking by. How are you? Alexis: Oh -- pretty good. I'm hungry, so let's say we eat. Scott: Sure, let's go. Alexis: Ok. Scott: See you. Kristina: Have a good time. Don't worry about coming home late, ok? Alexis: Call me. Kristina: Ok. Bye. Scott: So, what do you say we start out with a little calamari? Alexis: I'm allergic to calamari. [Phone rings] Scott: Hello? Alexis: Hello? Scott: Hello? Alexis: Hello? Scott: Hello? Alexis: Occupational hazard. Scott: Don't I know it.
