5, 2004 Transcript Alexis: Do you mind? Ric: Look -- look, it's -- it's not a bad ploy, just more than a little transparent. Alexis: Do you have to see the bogeyman coming around every corner? This is not a ploy. I will have a backup babysitter here any second. Ric: Yes, who will appear just late enough so that you're forced to bring your child into court, and then you're going to have to tell the judge that you need yet another postponement, which, of course, is going to give you more time to put together a case for a client that we both know is guilty. Alexis: I don't need a postponement. You have no case. Ric: My God, is that what you tell yourself? Alexis: You know what, you obtained an improper warrant. Kristina: Thank you. Alexis: Yes, thank you, sweetheart. You obtained a warrant that was improperly obtained -- Ric: I'm sorry, I’m sorry -- Alexis: By information from Skye Quartermaine that -- Ric: I'm sorry, I don't mean to interrupt, but it appears that your daughter has drawn all over your jacket. Kristina: Happy beach. Alexis: Oh. Oh! Oh! Ric: It's very pretty. Alexis: Kristina -- Emily: Hi. Sorry. Alexis: Oh, thank God. Emily: I got here as fast as I could. Alexis: Thank God you're here. Listen, I really appreciate you, no apologies. Emily: Hi, Kristina. Alexis: Take her. I've got to clean this off. Emily: Hey, baby. Alexis: Then I’ll explain. Emily: Hi! Hi! Hi! Look at you! Gosh, it hasn't been that long since I've seen you, has it? Ric: Wow. Emily: Hey, what are you looking at? Ric: So you're the backup babysitter, huh? Kristina: Ma. Emily: Yeah. Ric: Helping at a moment's notice. Emily: I didn't mind. Yeah, I'll take any chance I have to spend with Kristina, huh? Kristina: Mommy. Ric: She's a beauty, isn't she? Look at all that dark, curly hair. Emily: Yeah. Ric: My mother had curly hair like that. Kristina: Mommy. Mommy. Ric: So does Sonny. Alexis: Thank you so much for doing this. The nanny said that she would be back at about 11:30, I think. Emily: Ok. Alexis: I hope that's ok. Is there anything else that you need? Emily: No, no, that's fine. No, I've got everything, thank you. Alexis: Thank you, Emily, for doing this at the last minute. I really appreciate it. Emily: No, I'm just glad I was available. I happen to be a big fan of your daughter's. Alexis: Me, too, and she's quite an artist, too. Emily: Yes. Alexis: Bye, sweetheart. Be a good girl. Don't paint on anyone else, ok? Here. Emily: Ok. Come on, sweetheart; let's get out of mommy's way. Alexis: Oh, I'll give this to you first. Emily: All right. Alexis: All right. Bye, sweetie. Be a big girl. Emily: We will. Alexis: All right, bye. Emily: Bye. Skye: Kristina. Alexis: You know, I would appreciate it if you wouldn't approach my daughter. Skye: I was just saying hello. Alexis: Ever. Emily: Excuse me. Skye: You know, the depth of your paranoia when it comes to that child is truly astonishing. You act like you stole Kristina and you're about to be busted at any moment. Ric: Ladies, this is not a custody battle; it's a pretrial hearing. Alexis, Skye is a pivotal witness to me. I'm surprised that you would approach her. Alexis: I wasn't speaking to her about the case. Ric: Yeah, but you were speaking to her, and I must ask that you abide by the rules of professional conduct, at least in this case. Try to tamper with my witness again; I’ll have you thrown off. Faith: Do you know that you're covered in crayon? Alexis: Yes, I know that. I bought it this way. Faith: What's with the sour puss? Is my case in trouble already? Alexis: Absolutely not. I'm going to beat the pants off that arrogant, condescending Ric Lansing. Ric: All right, Alexis, what's this all about? Why do you feel the need to pull me out of a pretrial hearing for a private conference? Alexis: I'm giving you one last chance to recuse yourself before I humiliate you in the courtroom. Ric: Really? And how do you plan on accomplishing that? Alexis: You slept with the woman that you're prosecuting. That is a clear conflict of interest. Ric: Ok, yeah. Well, you know what, I thought about that, and that's why I went to the judge before the pretrial hearing and I explained to her that I had had a brief affair with Faith. I also reassured her that there are no residual feelings on either side, and she agreed that my ability to prosecute this case had not been compromised. However, you can get Faith up on the stand and bombard her with questions about our involvement together, but then I think you run the risk of giving a somewhat unprofessional view of how you feel about my sex life. Alexis: You conceited ass. Ric: The point is if you're going to bring up the issue, then you're going to beg the question. This could be a hell of a lot more embarrassing for you than for me. Faith: So much for getting the charges against me tossed, O genius of the courtroom. Alexis: You seem to be forgetting that you're guilty as sin, so if you're looking for a quick fix, then my advice is that you leave the country. If not, prepare for battle. Faith: Really, bottom line -- can you win against Ric? Alexis: In my sleep. That insufferable snake needs to be cut down to size, and I'm looking forward to doing it.
