"The Building is on Fire"

Alexis: Are you ok?

Nikolas: No, I'm not. That treasure was supposed to be my ticket out of debt. You have any idea who stole it?

Alexis: There's certainly a lot of people here with good motive.

Nikolas: The police are on it, supposedly.

Alexis: Look, while we weren't able to ensure the safety of the treasure --

Cameron:: Alexis, I need to talk to you.

Alexis: Ok, give me two more --

Cameron:: It can wait.

Alexis: Excuse me.

Nikolas: Ok.

Alexis: What are you doing?

Cameron:: If you're done mourning the loss of your nephew's treasure, maybe you could refocus on saving my son's life.

Alexis: Ric Lansing has agreed to recuse himself from his case. Now, as soon as the paperwork is filed, I’ll speak to a judge, and we can talk about the terms of Zander’s surrender.

Cameron: Well, that all sounds very leisurely, but given Zander’s volatility, you think you might do something to move things along?

Alexis: What do you suggest I do, Cameron?

Cameron: Because by the time everybody's mulled things over to everyone else's satisfaction, my son could be dead.

Ric: So you didn't see anyone near the treasure?

Alexis: No. I'm assuming it happened when the lights went out.

Ric: Right, the blackout. How long was that?

Alexis: Not that long ago. I'm assuming this is a hotel problem.

Ric: Yeah, we'll check it out. Thank you.

Cameron: Was that about Zander?

Alexis: Oh, for God's sake, Cameron. When it's time for Zander to turn himself in, you will be the first to know. I promise, ok?

Carly: (seeing Alexis in the elevator) Oh, perfect. It's just what I need.

Alexis: What the hell was that?

Alexis: What good is an emergency phone if the emergency phone doesn't work in an emergency?

Carly: Come on. Come on!

[Carly bangs on elevator button]

Alexis: Will you please stop that? Beating the button into submission is not going to make the elevator work.

Carly: Ok, well, nothing that you tried has done any good, either, has it? Maybe I'll try and climb through the roof.

[Alarms]

Carly: Those are smoke alarms.

Alexis: Great. The building is on fire.
