25, 2002 Transcript (It is morning. Alexis and Sonny are snuggled together in each other’s arms, asleep. Alexis awakens and realizes where she is. She tries to get up without waking Sonny but doesn’t succeed) Sonny: You leaving the scene of the crime? Sonny: Where you going? Alexis: I thought maybe home. Sonny: Why? Alexis: Well, I live there. I know that you're a private person and, you know, I'm a private person and of course I'm used to, you know, waking up in my own bed at – at least I think you are. And you know, last night was – last night was last night and this morning is this morning and – and – why are you looking at me like that? Sonny: (smiling) What, now, I can't look at you? Alexis: Is there anything in particular you're looking at? Sonny: Yeah, you got something stuck in -- Alexis: (horrified) Oh, god. Sonny: (laughs) No, no, no. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. Actually, I was staring at your -- at your mouth. Alexis: My mouth? Sonny: Yeah. I don't know why. It just was something – let me see. Come here. (sits up and kisses her on the mouth) Sonny: I – ahem. I always knew that when I got you out of those attorney clothes, you'd be a revelation. Alexis: (looks embarrassed) Are you trying – trying to embarrass me? Sonny: No. You – you are a fascinating woman, Alexis, multi-layered. And to show you how much I appreciate that, I’m going to go downstairs and make you the best breakfast you ever had in your life – unless you got somewhere else to go. Alexis: I'm ok. I'm fine. Sonny: All right. (Sonny leaves the bed and Alexis watches him go) (Downstairs in Sonny’s penthouse. Sonny places a plate of food on the dining room table) Sonny: Alexis? Breakfast is ready. Come on down. (Alexis comes downstairs, barefoot. She is wearing one of Sonny’s black silk shirts) Alexis: I borrowed this. I hope you don't mind. Sonny: No. Alexis: My clothes are a little rumpled, so – Sonny: Yeah, I bet. You look good in my shirt. Maybe you should wear it to court with your sensible pumps. Alexis: (smiles) Right, I’ll do that. Sonny: A bunch of guys down there, right? Alexis: This is not a good time to be sexist. God made women attorneys and I happen to be one of them. Sonny: And you happen to be the best. Alexis: And judges, too – god made judges, too, that are women. How's your foot? Sonny: Foot? It's – you know, it's – it's like 100%, you know, just – (Alexis is shy and embarrassed) Alexis: Good. Sonny: Right. Alexis: Good. Breakfast. Sonny: Yeah. Alexis: Breakfast. We've never done this before. Sonny: Sure we have. Alexis: Not undressed. So what's the protocol? Sonny: Well, simple. You know? You sit down, right? (Alexis sits) Alexis: Ok. Sonny: Ok. Alexis: Yep. Sonny: I'll get the food, and we eat. Alexis: I can do that. Sonny: (smiles at Alexis) You like me, don't you? Alexis: I -- tolerate you. Sonny: Right. That's not what you said last night. Alexis: (really embarrassed, but smiling) Could you please show a little respect? Sonny: Well, I actually respect you more now than I ever have. Alexis: Ok. That's not funny. I – I know – (Sonny is absolutely cracking up) [knock
on door] Sonny: Well, wait, wait, wait. Why, why? What -- Alexis: What if it's Carly? (Sonny looks as if he hadn’t considered that possibility) [knocking on door] Alexis: I – I certainly wouldn't want to upset Carly. Sonny: Well, I understand that, but it's up to you. Alexis: It wouldn't bother you if Carly walked in right now? Sonny: It would bother me, but I – [knocking] Sonny: I'm not expecting Carly, so -- hold on. Oh, boy. Kristina: Hey. I'm sorry. I don't mean to bother you. (Alexis tries to sneak back upstairs before being seen) Sonny: No, no, you're not bothering us. You need some sugar or something? Kristina: No, no, no. I'm actually looking for my sister. Sonny: Oh. Kristina: You know, Alexis didn't come home last night, so I was, you know, figured maybe you would have seen her –(sees Alexis on the stairway) oh, hello. Hi. Oh, I – I just wanted to make sure that you were – that you were all right, and clearly you are. All right. Um – so I think I’ll probably go. Sonny: Well, I'm going to go make some coffee. I got some – it's a good blend. You might want to try it. I don't know. Um – I'll leave you guys alone. (goes into the kitchen) Alexis: Whatever you're thinking, just don't say it, ok? Kristina: Even if I'm sure that you won't mind what I’m about to say? Alexis: What? Kristina: Well, I was – I was just thinking that I have never seen you look this way before. Alexis: Mortified? Kristina: No, it actually looks like you had a wonderful evening. Oh, Alexis, all I care about is that you're happy. That's what matters to me. Alexis: Thank you. Kristina: Look, I'm trying to wean myself off coffee, so will you tell sonny that I'm going to take a rain check? Alexis: You know, you don't have to go. You really don't. Kristina: Oh, no, no, no. I do have to go. Have fun. (Kristina leaves and Alexis sits down in one of the dining room chairs) (Alexis is enjoying the taste of Sonny’s . . .food) Alexis: Oh, my god. That is so good. Oh, sheer heaven. Sonny: You make a chef's heart proud. (takes a bite out of a strawberry) Alexis: (eating with gusto, talking with her mouth full) You know, I don't know how you do this. I mean, whenever I try to cook – I mean, I know you know because you've been a victim of my cooking, but I just don't get it. I don't get how you time everything all at once. You know, I just do things in the kitchen and it just, you know, it just burns. Why do you keep staring at me? Sonny: Do you have to, like, analyze everything? Alexis: Yes. Mmm. (Sonny watches her eat. She takes a bite out of a strawberry) Sonny: That's a turn-on right there. There's nothing, you know, that's sexier than a woman biting on a strawberry. (She looks very embarrassed – doesn’t know what to say. Takes another bite of food. Puts her hand on her forehead, shakes her head, and laughs. She can’t look at him. He is laughing as he watches her squirm) (Alexis comes downstairs, fully clothed again) Sonny: You ok? Alexis: That's the 10th time you've asked me that. I'm just going to state the obvious. Does anyone have any idea what happens next? Sonny: Does anybody? Alexis: Good point. [Knock on door] Zander: Sonny, it's me. Sonny, open up. Sonny! (Sonny opens the door) Sonny: What the hell's wrong? Zander: There was a news report. A car went off into the Richland Avenue bluff. They said it was a woman in a blue sport coupe. Sonny: So what? Zander: Carly drives a blue sport coupe. Sonny: Carly doesn't drive, Zander. Zander: Yeah, Sonny, she does. Zander: Carly just got her license, and she bought a blue sport coupe to celebrate. I've been calling her cell phone every 10 minutes since I heard the news. She's not answering, Sonny. Sonny, I got a bad feeling about this. I think it was Carly's car that went into the lake. (Sonny looks concerned and worried. Alexis looks very concerned)
