"I Don't Even Know if I Thanked Him"

Alexis and Ned are outside the burning Port Charles Hotel.

Alexis: Why did this have to happen to him? He went in there to save his son!

Ned: It's all right, it's all right. It's all right, it's all right. It's ok.

Alexis: He sacrificed everything for me – everything, and I don't even -- I don't even know if I thanked him.

Paramedic: Excuse -- uh -- we have to move the victim.

Alexis: Cameron, I’m sorry.

Ned: My family -- my family's in this building.

Alexis: They'll get out.

Ned: My mother, my brother, Emily, Monica, grandfather.

[Sirens]

Alexis: The helicopter landed safely on the roof.

Ned: I was hoping to see some of my family members coming down the stairs.

Alexis: It's the safest way to evacuate.

Ned: Do you know how long that'll take? And besides, you made it down the stairs.

Alexis: Barely, and there were explosions since then. If the stairways aren't already blocked, they've got to be filled with smoke, and the helicopter is the safest way for people like your grandfather to get off the building.

Ned: I was supposed to be at that auction.

Alexis: I was there, and I left before the fire was reported. Look, if you're going to make yourself feel guilty about it, then I suppose I should join you.

Ned: It's not guilt. It's frustration. I should've been paying closer attention to my family. The Quartermaines own this hotel. This whole disaster is our responsibility.
