"So Much for a Nice Evening on the Town"

Announcer: Today, the role of Alexis will be played by Susan Diol.

Sonny: Get out of my way.

Courtney: No -- A.J. Get out of here!

Sonny: Get out of my way!

[Screams]

Skye: Help him!

Taggert: Let go!

Skye: Somebody do something! Help him!

Taggert: Hey, hey.

[Screams]

Taggert: Hey! Hey! No!

Courtney: Leave him alone!

Taggert: All right, enough. Enough! Give him room. Give him room.

Courtney: It's ok.

A.J.: Courtney, you all right? Courtney?

A.J. Oh.

Skye: Are you ok? I'm taking you to the hospital right now.

A.J.: No, no, no, I'm fine. I'm fine. I just -- I want to go home, that's all.

Courtney: We should never have come here.

A.J.: I'm really sorry. I had no idea this would happen.

Courtney: How could you have known?

A.J.: All I wanted is for you to have a good time and show these people that you have a mind of your own and look at this -- I've screwed everything up. I'm really sorry, ok?

Alexis: I'll take care of it.

Kristina: What is my sister doing? Why can't she stay out of it?

Ned: Because Sonny's out of control. And if she doesn't run interference, A.J. will probably end up in the hospital or worse.

Kristina: Are you serious?

Ned: No, that's just my opinion of the current situation.

Taggert: You're a piece of work, you know that? Don't you ever get tired of doing Sonny's dirty work?

Zander: If you're going to arrest me, Taggert, do it!

Alexis: Don't say anything else.

Taggert: Oh, yeah, you get that a lot, don't you, in your line of work? Where's Sonny now that you need him, huh?

Carly: Hey, hey. Hey, you know what? A.J. came here causing trouble. He got exactly what he deserved.

Alexis: No one was hurt.

Taggert: Oh, yeah? I wouldn't be so sure about that.

Alexis: You have no grounds for an arrest.

Taggert: Who says he's going downtown?

Carly: Oh, gee, Taggert, I don't know -- force of habit?

Taggert: You know what? You want to buy into A.J.'s games, you go ahead. He's obviously trying to provoke Sonny, and if you ask me, he's doing a good job. As a matter of fact, i'm kind of enjoying it.

Carly: You know, that's completely unprofessional.

Taggert: Ok, fine! You want me to arrest him -- is that what you want?

Alexis: I think we've all had enough talking for one night.

Taggert: You're lucky Zander got you before Sonny did.

Alexis: If your intention was to cause a scene --

A.J.: My intention, Alexis, was to have a good time. Have some fun, you know? Carly, I apologize. I really do. I mean, the last thing you needed tonight was a brawl. Hey, Zander? It's cool, man. I'm not going to press charges.

Carly: Oh.

Zander: Do whatever you want.

Carly: Yeah, we should all be grateful, huh?

Taggert: Well, I think Zander's the least of your problems right now.

Courtney: Zander had no right to lay a hand on A.J.

Alexis: We don't need any more trouble tonight.

A.J.: Listen, I can't take this --

Taggert: No, but you're pretty good at finding trouble, aren't you, Courtney, huh? First it's the quartermaines, then it's my sister's car accident, and now it's A.J.

Courtney: My brother is the one that's doing this, not A.J. This is completely unfair!

A.J.: Look, hey, hey, hey. I can't take this anymore. I can't stand to see you upset. I'm going to take care of this. Hey, Sonny!

Carly: Oh, this will be good.

A.J.: What do you want from me, man? You've already taken everything from me. Tell me -- what can i do to fix this? What can i do to make it better? What, you want to kill me? Is that what you want? Then do it! Kill me.

Sonny: You all right?

Courtney: No.

Sonny: Can I speak to you for a second?

Courtney: Forget it.

Sonny: Ok, think about what you're doing. You're -- we're family, I'm your brother, ok? I'm going to ask you one more time. Can I speak to you for a second?

Courtney: No.

Sonny: Why, because you're afraid of what i might say?

Courtney: No, I'm not afraid of anything, all right? If -- if you want to talk, let's talk.

Sonny: Ok. I am not in charge of your life, but A.J. Is playing you like a fool in public.

Courtney: Thanks for the vote of confidence.

Sonny: He is lying to you. Ok, something happened here tonight with me. I realize that you're not just family, you're a woman who thinks on her own. But you deserve so much better than A.J. Quartermaine. Look around, look around. Who's he standing with, huh? My own enemy, jax, is concerned about you. Ok, fine, you don't trust me, you don't want to believe a word i say about this man. But what about Alexis, what about Zander, what about jax? Are they all wrong? Are they all like --

Courtney: I don't know!

Sonny: Ok, come on, just -- why don't we just go outside and we'll talk about this?

Courtney: Why?

Sonny: Because you need to settle down a little bit. I'm not saying that you are wrong. I'm not saying that you made a mistake. But you need to take some time and look at the situation A.J. Has put you in tonight. Is that what you want? You want him to use you?

A.J.: Hey, everybody, can I have a second, please? This won't take long, I promise.

Courtney: A.J. Deserves to be heard.

A.J.: Carly, congratulations on your club. You did a great job. You really did. I expect all you media types to have this on the front page tomorrow, ok? Anyway -- I apologize, ok? I didn't intend to cause a scene, and of course that's exactly what I did. And I'm very sorry. I accept full responsibility and I will gladly pay for any and all damages, ok?

Carly: Yeah, you're right, you will.

A.J.: So, anyway, I just -- again, accept my apologies, you know, and, everyone, come on, huh? What do you say? You did a great job. I want everyone here --

[gasps]

Courtney: Move!

Skye: No.

Courtney: A.J.?

Alexis: I don't believe this.

Ned: I got to give him points for style.

Jax: Yeah, Courtney seems to be buying it.

Kristina: Do you think he's badly hurt?

Zander: I guess I must have done some real damage.

Carly: Ok, it's all right. Just stop.

Taggert: So much for a nice evening on the town.

Sonny: No, I'm fine.

Carly: Hey. Are you ok?

Sonny: You did -- you did great, you know? I'm going to --

kristina: Alexis. We're taking you home.

Alexis: That's probably a good idea.

Ned: Come on.
