"Why are You Wasting Your Time on that Little Mobster?"

Scott: Well, I hope you're going to enjoy your beet salad and your sardine souffle.

Alexis: Sounds good.

Scott: Hey, you know what? Whatever trouble he's gotten himself into is not your responsibility. He did it.

Alexis: You going to carry that grudge against Sonny to your grave?

Scott: You know what? He hooked my daughter on drugs and made her strip for a living. He's bad news.

Scott: You know, I've seen you in the courtroom and you're pretty good. So why are you wasting your time on that little mobster?

Alexis: Well, I could say the same thing about a few of your clients.

Scott: Yeah, well, you see that's "clients." I have clients, and you now only have one client and I think you're better than that.

Alexis: I'm perfectly happy with my practice, thank you very much. He is not my only client. He happens to be going through something right now.

Scott: Oh, who cares what he's going through. Whatever it is, it's illegal.

Alexis: I'm not going to spend the rest of the evening defending him.

Scott: Why? You're spending the whole evening staring at him. You know what? This -- this dinner was a mistake. I've changed my mind.

Alexis: Me, too.

Scott: Well, I guess I'm not going to see any action.

Alexis: Scott, let's agree not to do this again, all right?

Scott: Yeah. Yeah, yeah, sure. Deal.

Alexis: Come on, let's back to my place.

Mike: Look, I -- I don't blame you for how you feel about me, Michael. But this isn't the way to punish me. Yeah, I -- I walked out on you both and that was wrong. I know that. But it's not right for you to try to keep me away from Courtney now. You may be her brother, but I am still her father.

Sonny: It's too late, Mike.

Mike: No it's not.

Sonny: Yeah, it's too late. You know what I'm saying? You've been -- ever since you got to port charles, I've cleaned up your mess. And I'm going to clean this one up, too! But after that, you and I are finished.

Skye: Let's try this again, shall we? I'm not requesting that you make the room available. I am ordering you to make the room available.

Manager: And I am terribly sorry, but the guest is simply not willing to move.

Skye: Maybe you didn't hear me. My family owns this hotel. I can have you fired.

Manager: If Mr. Edward Quartermaine himself asked for that suite, he would be denied.

Skye: Well, who is this guest anyway?

Manager: We're not able to divulge that information.

Alexis: Listen, why don't you wait here, and i'm going to go get a cab, ok?

Skye: Ahem.

Courtney: What are you looking at?

Skye: I'm looking at a little girl who thinks she's cute and, oh, so open and honest. But the truth is you're exactly like your mother -- a cheap, conniving hustler who tried to ruin my life. You better tell Janine to stay out of my way, or she's going to be very, very sorry. And as for you, you little know-nothing, do you know your big mouth wound up causing my grandfather a heart attack?

Alexis: I believe my client has asked you to stay away from his sister. Should you approach her again, I will file a restraining order.

Skye: Oh, Alexis, do not mess with me, ok? I'm in no mood.

Alexis: Don't mess with me, skye. I can out mood you any day.

Jax: Alexis, I'll take care of ms. Chandler-Quartermaine.

Alexis: Thank you, Jax.

Courtney: What is it with Sonny? All right, no way does he get to order me around like that. I don't care how he feels about our dad. This is my life, and I get to say when I stay and when i leave. I mean, no matter how bad Mike's screwed up, that does not give him the right to just look through him like he doesn't exist. It's just so disrespectful. I hate it!

Alexis: Courtney, what did you expect Sonny to do when you set him up like that? Did you think he was going to give Mike a big hug?

Courtney: I -- you know, I thought that we could talk it out, maybe work through some stuff. Why is Sonny so afraid of talking?

Alexis: Because he is in a very difficult position right now.

Alexis: And both of you have a lot going on. Yelling isn't going to solve anything, so go over there and you two try to work this out.

Courtney: What is it with you? I mean, I just met you, and already you're ordering me around.

Sonny: You finished?

Courtney: No, uh-uh. Not even close. Somebody says that you're my brother and suddenly you are all over me with rules and regulations and ex-wives jumping out of bushes? And then -- and then causing a major scene as if you were the only person who ever counted for anything. Who died and made you the king of me?

Sonny: Well, what do you expect, Courtney? I told you how I thought about Mike, and you threw him in my face anyway!

Courtney: Well, what about the ambush in the park, huh? News flash -- I can talk to whoever I want.

Sonny: I told you to stay away from A.J. Because it was for your own good.

Courtney: He was being nice to me.

Sonny: He hates me. It's for your safety.

Courtney: You are such a control freak! Go give orders to somebody else. I can take care of myself.

Sonny: He's using you to get to me!

Courtney: I don't care! That is still my decision if I want to talk to him.

Sonny: I was trying to protect my family, ok?

Courtney: There's that magic word again. You talk about family? I try to get our so-called family together at the same table, and you turn to ice.

Sonny: Mike left both of us. He does not deserve to have a family.

Courtney: That is not up to you. Don't you get it? My life is not about you, it is about me.

[Sonny kicks phone over]

Sonny: Sorry.

Alexis: You know --

Sonny: No, no. I don't know.

Alexis: Well, you need to. Don't slam my door.

Sonny: I'm asking you to leave. I just need to be alone, Alexis. Is that all right --

Alexis: We are going to talk about this.
