"You're in Love with Sonny"

Ned: Any change in L.A.?

Kristina: Uh-uh. No, still looks good for access denied, campus venue, but I'm still playing phone tag with the promoter. I think it's going to be great, Ned.

Ned: Good. What about you and me?

Kristina: Oh, are we on the schedule? I didn't see that.

Ned: Well, I don't know. You tell me.

Kristina: What, you want me to just blurt it out?

Ned: Blurting seems to be what you do best.

Kristina: Oh, no, no, no, no, never again, not after the disaster with Alexis and Sonny. I am not butting into anyone's business ever again.

Ned: Not even mine?

Kristina: Especially yours.

Ned: Oh. Well, what if I like it?

Kristina: No, you hate it.

Ned: I used to hate it. Actually, now I really, really like it when you butt right in there and mess things up and, you know, drag me out of my poor, poor, pitiful self.

Kristina: Hmm.

Alexis: I have really bad timing. I'm sorry.

Ned: Hello, Alexis. Ahem.

Alexis: Hi. Kristina, I apologize. Ned, I need your help.

Kristina: Are you all right?

Ned: What happened?

Alexis: Do you think you could talk to A.J., because I think he's about to push Sonny over the edge.

Alexis: A.J.'s in the hospital.

Ned: He's faking.

Alexis: Yes, I know that, but he's confined, so it's a good place to try to talk some sense into him.

Ned: Can't do it.

Alexis: Provoking Sonny isn't going to be good for anybody.

[Phone rings]

Ned: It's not my problem. Hello? Yeah, yeah.

Kristina: Is that L.A.?

Ned: Yeah.

Kristina: I can take it.

Ned: I'll get it, I'll get it. Excuse me. Yeah, how are the ads coming along?

Alexis: How long is that going to take? Do you know?

Kristina: Oh, as long as Ned can stretch it out.

Alexis: I really need him to try to go over there and talk to him.

Kristina: Alexis, did you -- did you talk to Sonny, I mean, about what I said?

Alexis: I can't believe that you would choose to change the subject to that at this particular time.

Kristina: Did you tell him how you really feel?

Alexis: Yeah. Oh, sure. Yeah, yeah, I filed a memo and then I had a conference call and then I invited him over for coffee and we chatted.

Kristina: Oh, oh, that's great. So I take it that's a no?

Alexis: That's very astute, Kristina.

Kristina: And you didn't tell him anything?

Alexis: Could you call him back maybe and --

Kristina: Alexis, Alexis, I wish that you would have seen your face at the party when Sonny went after A.J. It just gave so much away. You were after him the whole night after that.

Alexis: It's because I went there with him.

Kristina: But he walked away from you.

Alexis: You need therapy, Kristina.

Kristina: You need therapy. I -- ok, fine, we both need therapy.

Alexis: Ned? Whoo-hoo! We have a time -- a time --

Kristina: Alexis?

Alexis: Yes, Kristina?

Kristina: Ok, fine, you don't want to tell Sonny you care about him? Well, all right. You want to lie to me and Ned, that's fine, too. But when are you finally going to admit the truth to yourself?

Alexis: Why on earth would you keep pushing me about this? Kristina, why do you even care how I feel about Sonny?

Kristina: Because you protected me once a long time ago. You saved my life. You know, if I can save you some pain, I just --

Alexis: Oh, don't be overdramatic. You can't save me anyway, Kristina, all right, and I'm not admitting anything.

Ned: Admitting what?

Alexis: Are you going to help A.J. or not?

Ned: What do you want me to do, Alexis? Tell Junior to back off? That'll only guarantee that he moves right on in.

Alexis: Couldn't you at least try?

Ned: Courtney made it pretty clear who she wants to be with, so who am I to tell her who to choose?

Alexis: I don't believe this.

Ned: Mob boss or rich guy with bad intentions? Hmm, what can I say? I'm with Courtney.

Alexis: Even if it ruins her life?

Ned: Look, I don't even know Sonny's little sister. What makes you think she's going to listen to me if i tell her to stay away from Junior?

Alexis: All right, then what about A.J.?

Ned: Well, I already offered to deliver his eulogy.

Alexis: Why are you making a joke about this?

Ned: How do you want me to respond, Alexis? My family lost Jason to Sonny, you and Emily were nearly gunned down in a hail of bullets because of him, and now you want me to, what, rescue his newfound little sister? Tell A.J. to suddenly become a decent person? And for all we know, maybe his feelings for her are actually sincere.

Alexis: I wouldn't count on that.

Ned: I'm out of the gatekeeping business. I thought you were, too.

Alexis: I am.

Ned: Yeah, for the Cassadines, but not for Sonny.

Alexis: You know, this is one of these occasions that I thought that you would be on my side.

Ned: What side, Alexis? You're in love with Sonny. How I can possibly fix that?

Alexis: What is it that anything that I say to either one of you turns into something about how I feel about Sonny?

Ned: You're right.

Kristina: Yeah, not another word, I promise.

Alexis: I mean it. I mean it.

Ned: What actually can anyone do about Junior? I mean, hey, he knows who he's dealing with. And Courtney -- she stood right up to Sonny, which takes a lot of guts. So maybe she'll see the light if we just give her a little room.

Alexis: I hope so.

Ned: So do I.

Alexis: Ok.

Kristina: You are so totally wrong.
