"I'm Not Going Anywhere"

Janine: So which side of the turnip truck do you think I fell off, hmm? If I put this in the mail, I'll be reading the next morning that the post office burned down. And you'll be standing at her doorstep trying to drag her back.

Alexis: And that would turn Courtney against Sonny, and Sonny doesn't want that.

Janine: Fine. Then he'll just put some men on her so he can watch every move she makes.

Sonny: It's public knowledge Courtney's my sister. So that puts herri. So if care about her so much, let me protect her.

Janine: She trusted me --

Sonny: Mm-hmm.

Janine: With her whereabouts. And I am not about to break that trust for anybody. Now, you know that she's all right. So you just relax, ok? I'm out of here.

Sonny: No, you're not.

Janine: Ok. What are you going to do now, huh? You're going to force me that would make a great impression for Courtney.

Sonny: Get this to Courtney. I don't care how.

Janine: No. No. No, you don't own me, and you don't own Courtney, and I'm through taking money from you. And as a matter of fact, I don't want to live in that house you've been keeping me in anymore. Thank you very much, but I'm going to find my own accommodations in town.

Alexis: So Courtney is coming back?

Janine: You know, I'm guessing that she will when she's ready. Now, as I said before, I'm out of here.

Janine: There's news on Courtney. They can fill you in.

Mike: Is Courtney all right? Where is she?

Janine: If I didn't tell Mr. Sonny Corinthos, why in the hell would I tell you?

Mike: I'm her father, Janine.

Janine: Courtney's going to be somebody despite you, despite all of us. Courtney was right to run, maybe even from me. I'm willing to do anything I can to make it up to her and to see that she has the life she deserves.

Sonny: She doesn't concern you, Jax.

Mike: Look, I want to know where my daughter is.

Janine: You're not going to hear it from me.

Alexis: Mike, please leave it alone.

Mike: What did Janine tell you?

Sonny: The same thing she told you.

Mike: Damn it, Sonny, don't walk away.

Alexis: Mike, if I were you, I wouldn't push it right now.

Mike: Look, I'm his father. You're his lawyer. Stay out of it.

Jax: Ooh. So, Courtney ran away, huh?

Alexis: I hate to overstate the obvious, but this really is a bad time.

Jax: Well, I'm sorry to hear that because it's about to get worse.

Jax: Look, you know I don't want to see you hurt, but the longer you stay around Corinthos, the better your chances.

Alexis: The two of you have hated each other for I don't know how long, and I'm not sure why this ever started and I just don't care, but at the moment, it's really a bad time. This thing's going to get out of control.

Jax: So Courtney is already running from Sonny?

Alexis: And that would be none of your concern.

Jax: It was the unluckiest day of her life when that girl showed up here.

Alexis: How's Skye?

Jax: Hey, i got no problem admitting that you were right about Skye. Why can't you see that I'm right about Sonny?

Alexis: So she admitted to fabricating that threat? Good. I have no idea how you do these things, but as long as you're on a roll, could you get A.J. to back off of Courtney?

Jax: What's A.J.'s interest in Courtney?

Alexis: Just a way for him to get to Sonny. He's her new best friend now, and he's hired an investigator to find her. There's a part of me that wishes she'd stay hidden. The further away she is from A.J., the better.

Jax: Huh. Whose is this stuff?

Alexis: That's just stuff that Courtney left when she stayed here. Why?

Jax: Oh, nothing. Just -- but you're certain that she's ok?

Alexis: According to Janine, she's with a friend.

Alexis: Hi.

Sonny: Hi.

Alexis: Just came to see if you were all right.

Sonny: Well, I've been better. Even if Courtney's safe, I don't know where she is, what she's doing.

Alexis: Well, I'm sure that she'll let you know when she feels like letting you know. You really can't obsess about this. And, you know, I was watching Janine, and as flawed as she is -- and she is flawed -- I truly believe that she loves her daughter, and if she says that Courtney's safe, you need to trust that.

Sonny: Are you billing me for this advice?

Alexis: Being your friend falls outside of the boundaries of my job description. I just wanted to know if you're ok.

Sonny: I still don't want you to move out. But, you know, I'm not going to argue with you -- if you think that's what you need to do and all that.

[Sonny sighs]

Alexis: I'm not going anywhere.
