"Maternal
Instincts"
Alexis,
dressed as Dobson, holds the baby in the Quartermaine living room.
Alexis:
(In her normal voice) Mommy's not going to look like this
for much longer. Just a little bit so that I can be near you. Ok?
Aw, sweetie, don't cry. Huh? Don't cry, honey. What's wrong? Kristina?
You have a temperature.
Skye
walks in and Alexis freezes, realizing she isn't wearing the mustache.
Skye:
Dobson. What are you doing to Kristina?
Alexis
quickly reapplies the mustaches as Skye walks up behind her.
Skye:
Kristina! It's all right. I'm here. Where's Alice? (She strokes
the baby's head)
Alexis:
(In her Dobson accent) Alice went to fetch the little one
her bottle. I came over because she began to cry, and I believe
she has a fever. Perhaps we should call a doctor immediately.
Skye:
Well (feels her head) -- oh. Monica's home. Let me have her
take a look at her. Give me, give me, give her to me. (Skye takes
the baby) Now, the next time you hear Kristina crying, you call
either me or Alice, do you hear me? Your job description does not
include childcare. Well, you're dismissed. You can go.
Alexis:
Yes, ma'am.
Alexis
walks away reluctantly as Kristina fusses in Skye's arms.
Skye:
It's all right, sweetie. Yes, I know. We're going to take care of
you. What's the matter? Does that Mr. Dobson scare you, hmm? Want
to know something? He scares me, too. Yeah.
Alexis
walks out into the foyer and begins to pull off the mustache. She
suddenly hears someone coming and dives down behind a table. A.J.
walks in and goes into the living room. Alexis scrambles away.
A.J.
is walking through the foyer with his cell phone when the doorbell
rings. He looks around for someone to answer the door but then raises
his hands in frustration and goes to answer it himself.
A.J.:
I'll get it!
He
open the door and Alexis walks in anxiously.
Alexis:
I want to see my daughter.
A.J.:
No, Alexis, no one told me about a change in your visitation schedule,
ok?
Skye
walks in from the living room holding the baby.
Skye:
That's because there wasn't one.
A.J.:
You know the rules. I don't see my kid, you don't get to see yours.
It's part of the, you know, unfit parents club.
Alexis:
I know, A.J. I have visitation rights.
Skye:
Come back tomorrow.
Alexis:
If you let me see her today, I won't come back tomorrow.
Skye:
You know what, A.J.? I've had enough of this. Call the police.
Alexis:
There's no need to do that.
Skye:
You are in violation of a court order.
Alexis:
I had a feeling that my daughter might need me, that's all.
A.J.:
Yeah, I've had those feelings about Michael.
Alexis:
Will you please just let me hold her?
Skye:
A.J., 911.
Alexis:
There isn't any reason to do that.
A.J.:
I'm afraid I have to.
Skye:
This needs to go on record.
Alexis:
You have absolutely no compassion at all.
Skye:
A.J., what is taking you so long?
Alexis:
What you need to do is call a doctor because my daughter has a fever.
Skye:
How in god's name did you know that?
Alexis
follows Skye into the living room.
Skye:
How'd you know Kristina had a fever? (She puts the baby back
in the pram)
Alexis:
Because her cheeks are flushed.
Skye:
No, you couldn't even see her face. The blanket was covering her
-- unless, of course, your latest personality has x-ray vision.
Alexis:
I'll tell you what I do have -- I have maternal instincts -- something
that you don't have. Hopefully, you will never be a mother.
Skye
slaps Alexis and Alexis freezes and holds her face.
Skye:
Get out.
Alexis:
Those are some beautiful maternal instincts, by the way. You're
going to slap her mother in front of her?
Skye:
I will do whatever's necessary to protect Kristina, and that includes
throwing you out of this house. A doctor will see Kristina.
Alexis:
I'll wait here until the doctor gets here.
Skye:
Well, I'm sure by now A.J.'s called the police.
Alexis:
You'd really have me arrested?
Skye:
Actually, you'd be having yourself arrested.
Alexis
shakes her head and walks out of the room. She holds her face and
sighs, leaning up against a table in the foyer.
Alexis,
once again dressed as Dobson, walks into the living room where Monica
is standing with her stethoscope and doctor's kit next to the pram.
Alexis:
(As Dobson) Yes, I was wondering how the little girl is (sees
the empty pram) -- doing.
Monica:
Well, she has a mild ear infection. Skye took her upstairs.
A couple of days on antibiotics and she should be just fine.
Alexis:
Very good, madam.
Monica:
Excuse me.
Alexis:
Certainly.
Monica
walks out of the room. Alexis looks around and notices Kristina's
lambie on the floor. Just as she goes to pick it up she hears A.J.
and Skye talking. She quickly takes out her handkerchief and pretends
to dust a display shelf.
A.J.'s
voice: How's Kristina?
Skye's
voice: Oh, an ear infection. Crazy mommy overreacts again.
They
walks into the living room.
A.J.:
Did we get anything we could use on the nanny cam?
Skye:
I slapped Alexis.
A.J.:
Really?
Skye:
It was a bad moment.
A.J.
notices Alexis.
A.J.:
Dobson?
Alexis:
Yes?
A.J.:
We need this room.
Alexis:
Certainly.
Alexis
leave but listens by the door.
Skye:
Why doesn't grandfather fire that man?
A.J.:
You hate him too much. (Climbs up to the camera) He's using
him to torture you. But with any luck, we've got some stuff here
on the old nanny cam that'll get him kicked him to the curb and
Alexis barred from the property.
Skye:
Yeah, like I'd be that lucky.
Skye
and A.J. are sitting and watching the tape from the camera as Alexis
listens by the door.
A.J.:
Typical mommy/baby stuff, when what we really need is --
Skye:
Yeah, Mommie Dearest stuff.
A.J.:
Well, I didn't say it would work the first time.
Skye:
I've seen her. She upsets that baby every time she's here. Ugh.
There's that stupid butler.
Alexis
suddenly stands straight up and gasps.
A.J.
pauses the tape at the exact spot there Alexis was beginning to
remove the mustache.
