"I Have a Bug or Something"
Alexis:
No. I'm -- absolutely not. I'm just fine. I have a flu or something
and I'm -- I'm perfectly fine, honestly, so --
Sonny:
All right, well, if you need anything --
Alexis:
I don't need anything. You know, Kristina's in there, she'll be
happy to hover. Sorry to -- you guys have a great --
Sonny:
Are you sure?
Alexis:
Yes.
Sonny:
All right.
Alexis:
Thanks.
Sonny:
She didn't look good. I think she's sick. I don't know.
Carly:
She said she's fine. Can't you just take her word?
Sonny:
Yeah, yeah. I guess I'm going to have to. All right, I'm going to
go -- I'm going to go to the market.
Alexis:
Ok.
Alexis:
Let us breathe.
Kristina:
Hi.
Alexis:
Hi.
Kristina:
Oh, my god, you look like hell.
Kristina:
What in the world is wrong with you?
Alexis:
Nothing, I -- I'm just tired.
Kristina:
No, no, no, no, no, no. It's something more than that.
Alexis:
You're overreacting.
Kristina:
No, I'm not, something is definitely off with you.
Alexis:
Can't I just have a bad day?
Kristina:
Of course you can, you're allowed, if that's what it is. I mean,
if you're not in denial or trying to brazen your way through something,
which is exactly what I think you're doing right now.
Alexis:
It is mind-boggling to think how I got to be this age and function
in the world without your keen insights. I love you, but --
Kristina:
Alexis --
Alexis:
You have to quit treating me --
Kristina:
Alexis --
Alexis:
You do have to quit treating me like a psychological basket case
whose every emotion and facial expression gets analyzed ad nauseam.
Kristina:
I'm not talking about your emotions. I'm saying that something is
physically wrong with you.
Alexis:
Why do you keep insisting on ignoring me when I'm telling you that
i'm fine?
Kristina:
Because you are a notorious nonacknowledger. Now come here, let
me see. Hmm. Normal.
Alexis:
See?
Kristina:
Well, no, this doesn't necessarily mean that you're fine. You could
be one of those people that still doesn't come down with a fever
when you're --
Alexis:
Kristina --
Kristina:
Coming down with a bug. Now, you have been coming down with something
ever since Carly's funeral. Remember? You got dizzy at the church.
You almost fainted.
Alexis:
That was shock. One doesn't expect the assumed dead person to show
up at their own funeral.
Kristina:
And I would agree with you if that had been the end of it, but it's
a day later and you're still exhausted. Now, I'm not trying to be
emotionally intrusive, but I do see real physical symptoms here.
Alexis, your body is trying to tell you something and you're not
listening. Somebody has to.
Alexis:
You know what? This is a really good idea to get me off my feet.
I feel much, much better already.
Kristina:
So you're finally admitting that something was wrong?
Alexis:
You know what? You're right. I have a bug
or something. I'm sure of it. So Im just going to nestle
in here, and you don't have to stay here anymore.
Kristina:
No, no, I want to take care of my big sister. You want me to rub
your back?
Alexis:
No, that's ok.
Kristina:
Ok, you want me to make you some soup?
Alexis:
Yeah. That's a great idea.
Kristina:
Ok.
Alexis:
That sounds good -- chicken soup with lots of fresh vegetables.
Kristina:
Good.
Alexis:
Do you mind?
Kristina:
No, no, no, not at all. I would be happy to. But I expect you to
be right there when I get back.
Alexis:
Ok, I'll be here.
Alexis:
All right, do it again. Ok, 28 -- 29, 30, 31, 37, 38, 39. Now, see,
that can't be right. You miscalculated, Alexis. Do it again, do
it again. Ok, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36 -- 40. Oh, god.
Oh, god. God, this can't be happening. Oh, my god.
