"She's
Beautiful"
At
the courthouse, in the lobby.
Alexis:
Where'd you put your lamby? I don't know where you left it, ok?
Will you let mommy do a few more things, and then we'll go back
and look for it, I promise, ok?
Ned:
Oh, looks like I might be the hero here.
Alexis:
Oh -- oh.
Ned:
Lamby, right?
Alexis:
You know what?
[Ned
chuckles]
Alexis:
You're more than a hero. Thank you.
Ned:
I found it on the floor around the corner. There you go.
Alexis:
There you go, monkey. Ooh!
Ned:
I remember lamby when she was at the house. Hey, do I at least
get a hug for the rescue? Want to give me a hug? Do you mind?
Alexis:
That's ok. Oh, look at her, checking it out.
Ned:
She's getting so big.
Alexis:
Well, I water her every day.
[Ned
and Alexis chuckle]
Ned:
I was hoping to find you here.
Alexis:
What's up?
Ned:
Well, I'd like to retain your services for a plea of mental incompetence
-- not for me.
Alexis:
I'm assuming you're talking about Edward.
Ned:
Yes.
Alexis:
I can't, because I'm -- I'm tied up. I'm representing Carly
in a custody case.
Ned:
Carly? Why?
Alexis:
Because she's making me.
Ned:
Now, I can't think of one reason why you'd want to cooperate with
Carly.
[Ned
sighs]
Ned:
Don't tell me -- she found out about the paternity.
Alexis:
I told her.
Ned:
Why?
Alexis:
Because I was trapped in that elevator with her and I thought
I was going to die. And the truth is it would've been much simpler
for me if she had.
Alexis:
(to
Kirstina, who's coloring on a bench) You're a wonderful artist,
and you're also such a good girl coming to work with mommy. And
you know what? As soon as I'm done, we're going to go out for
dinner. You can have chocolate-chocolate cake for dessert, ok?
(gets up to talk to Walker) Oh -- Walker, Walker? Will
you do me a huge favor? I've got my daughter here, I need to get
her home, and I need to get this to Judge Marland. So will you
do me a favor and drop this off to him?
Walker:
No problem, Ms. Davis.
Alexis:
Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. Thanks a lot, Walker.
(turns to see that Kristina is missing) Kristina? Honey?
Alexis
turns the corner and sees Kristina with her FATHER, Sonny!
Sonny:
(to Kristina) Hi.
Alexis:
You
haven't seen her in a while. This is Kristina.
Sonny:
She's beautiful. Beautiful eyes.
You must love her very much.
Alexis:
I do.
[Kristina
coos]
Alexis:
I would do pretty much anything for her.
Sonny:
Yeah.
Kristina:
Mommy, more.
Alexis:
There's more, sweetie. Here you go.
Sonny:
You know, this --
Alexis:
There you go, baby.
Sonny:
Bonding thing you and Carly have all of a sudden? This sisterhood
of motherly love? Anybody ever tell you about a father's love?
A mother fights for her children, a father wages full-scale war.
A man's family is everything. It's his pride, his legacy. It's
what he's accomplished in this world. More important than the
money he's earned or the power he's gained. A man's family is
his identity. If you force his hand, he just doesn't want to win.
He will have to destroy everything and everyone who gets in his
way.
Alexis:
Thank god for estrogen, huh? This doesn't have to be a battleground.
I want you to take this advice in the spirit in which it's given.
Sonny:
Mm-hmm?
Alexis:
Compromise.
Sonny:
Joint custody is out of the question. I will not share my
sons with an unfit mother and her freaky lover any more than you
would share Kristina with a father who didn't deserve her.
