9, 2004 Transcript Alexis: I repeat, banging on that elevator button is not making the elevator work. Carly: Ok, Alexis, I'm not going to wait around until the fire reaches us. [Alarm] Alexis: You know, it's very possible that the alarm and all of this is a -- is a prank or simply a technical malfunction in the alarm system. Carly: Yeah, right. Right, right, right. Alexis: This is a five-star hotel. If there is indeed a fire, it will be contained quickly, I'm sure. Carly: Ok, well, I'm not taking those chances. Alexis: Statistically, it is better to remain calm in a crisis. Carly: Alexis, the building could be burning down around us, and you're spouting statistics! Alexis: I'm trying to remind you to act sensibly -- Carly: Ok, well, you know what? I think it is very sensible to get the hell out of here! [Alarm] Alexis: Do you really think your stiletto heel is going to wedge open a pair of metal, mechanical, elevator doors? Carly: Ok, you know what? It is worth a try because -- [Alarm stops] Alexis: There. You see? Everything's fine. They fixed the problem, and someone will be here any minute. Carly: You think? Alexis: I think. I find it a very useful thing to do on a daily basis. Now, if we just relax and wait, someone will come get us. Carly: Ok. You do that. I'm getting the hell out of here. Alexis: Carly, even if you get those metal doors open, they're not going to be able to move us. Carly: Ok, Alexis, I smell smoke. It is not a drill. Alexis: All right, look, there are professional people that know how to handle this, and I'm sure -- Carly: Alexis, if you are not going to help me, just zip it! Carly: Ok. Are you going to help? Alexis: I did help you. I helped you shut those doors, and now I want you to get down here and wait till somebody comes and gets us evacuated. Carly: Fires spread fast, Alexis. You want to be charbroiled, it really makes no difference to me, but I thought you might want to think about your kid. Alexis: That's exactly who I’m thinking about, which is why I’m not going to climb through a trapdoor and break my neck. Carly: Oh, God, anything is better than waiting in here to suffocate with you. Alexis: Can you see anything? Carly: The elevator cable is starting to break. Alexis: The cable's breaking. Carly: Ok. Ok, we still have some time. All right, if we -- if we can get to the next floor, then maybe we can just -- Alexis: What do you want me to do? Carly: If I can get out of here and -- before the cables snap. Alexis: What do you want me to do? Carly: Do you know anything about hot-wiring an elevator? Alexis: Ok, I'm a -- a logical person, so I’m sure that there's a -- a logical pattern to the way this is -- the way this is wired, so -- let's see. Ok. Carly: Too bad it's not voice-activated -- you could then lecture us out of here. Alexis: I'm surprised you don't know how to hot-wire an elevator. God, you -- [explosion] Alexis: Ok. Ok. [Alexis and Carly scream] Alexis: The emergency brake -- it must've stopped it. Carly: We have to get out of here. Alexis: Carly, please! Please, please, please. Please don't move. Carly: The -- um -- the car seems to be off the track, but there's -- whew, there's one cable still holding us. Alexis: Oh -- no! Please, please, please! Carly, please, please, please. I'm begging you, please just sit down, all right? Carly: Listen, I don't want to die any more than you do. Alexis: I can't -- I can't die. It's not an option, all right? If I don't survive, Kristina will be all by herself. Carly: She's got a father. [Cable creaks] Carly: You know when I was -- I was pregnant with Morgan, Michael used to sneak me junk food. We had a secret stash of potato chips. Alexis: He's a good boy, Michael. You did a good job with him. I came home the other day and I was in a very bad mood from court. [Carly laughs] Alexis: Something new and different. And I'm telling you that Kristina knew. She -- she knew, because when I sat down next to her on the couch, she just pulled herself up next to me and she just looked at me right in the eye and she just put her hand on my cheek. She was trying to make me feel better. You know -- you know -- yeah. Carly: Yeah, they do. Um -- a favorite -- favorite moment so far? Alexis: Uh -- when she found her feet. [Carly laughs] Alexis: How about you? Carly: Um -- it's more -- with Michael there are so many. I can't -- but with Morgan, it was -- [cable creaks] Carly: It was the first time that we really -- um -- connected after I came out of the coma. He just looked up to me, he stared at me. It was -- it was so intense. Hmm. God, he's a little Sonny. Alexis: You and I haven't been the best of friends, and maybe we don't have a lot in common, but what we do have in common is that we know what it's like to really love our children. I know that you and I would do anything for our children, and we would, everything for them. Carly: God, I just want the boys to grow up and be happy. Alexis: I was very little when my mother died and I remember feeling very alone and I -- I don't want that for my daughter. Carly: She's got her father. Nikolas can help, too. Alexis: Nikolas is in this hotel right now. If he doesn't get out, she's going to be all alone. Carly: Ok. I have had my own problems with the Quartermaines, but it is really obvious that they love Kristina. I think Ned’s the best of the bunch. Alexis: Carly -- It's a very complicated situation. Carly: Yeah, well, what isn't? Look at my situation right now with Sonny. God, I’m furious with him. But he loves the boys. He loves them, and he -- oh, my God, he could be in the hotel right now. But you -- you know what? Sonny would do anything for the boys. He would crawl across glass just to get to Michael and Morgan. God, is he devoted to them. Alexis: I know that he is. [Carly sighs] Carly: You know, no matter what happens, I know that Sonny is devoted to Michael and Morgan. Hey. It's the same with the Quartermaines -- they're devoted to Kristina. Alexis: Kristina's not a Quartermaine. Carly: What do you mean, "She’s not a Quartermaine"? [Cable creaks] Carly: Oh -- all right, all right, all right. Fine, Kristina is a Davis. But it's not like the Quartermaines are strangers to her. She spent the first half of her life there. I mean, she may not consciously remember it, but the Quartermaines love her, she'll adapt. Alexis: I should never have let Ned put his name on that birth certificate. Carly: What do you mean, let him? Alexis: I should've put it down in writing; I should've stipulated something in my will. Carly: What are you talking about? Alexis: I'm telling you that you were right, everything you just said was right. That despite everything, I know that he is a good father. Carly: Yeah, Sonny is. Michael and Morgan’s good father. He has nothing to do with Kristina. Alexis: Sonny is Kristina’s real father.
