Alexis: Listen, I need to -- I'm trying to get an injunction so that Ric can't investigate the foundation, so I have some paperwork -- Jax: Oh, no, I'm -- Alexis, this is going to have to wait. Alexis: If the timing is bad, it's not my fault. Jax: Can you not handle Lansing yourself? Alexis: I'm doing this on your behalf. Unless, of course, you're not interested in being part of that foundation that she's doing. Jax: No, no, no -- of course I am. I just -- I have other priorities right now. I'm waiting to find out if I'm going to be a father. Jax: When I found out Sam was pregnant, she ran off. I tracked her to a convent in Costa Rica, where she was going to put the child up for adoption. Now, Sonny and I wouldn't consent to that, so she came back to Port Charles and today she had an amnio. We're waiting for the D.N.A. test results to determine who the father is -- Sonny or me. Alexis: And what if it's yours? Jax: I offered Sam money to get full custody. Alexis: Did she accept that? Jax: No, not yet, but I'm sure she will. Alexis: So you've decided to buy the baby and it doesn't need its mother? Jax: No. You see, she's not acting in the child's best interest, and I don't think that's going to change. Now, if I'm the father, I'm responsible for that child's welfare. Sam has nothing good to offer this baby. It'd be better off for all of us if she just took the money and left town. Alexis: What, are you taking misogyny classes from Sonny? You sound just like him. I mean, just the -- I mean, there's just absolutely no discussion at all about -- Courtney: Well, Alexis, Sonny happens to be a great father, and I'm sure Jax would be, too, if given the opportunity. He's just trying to do what's right. Jax: Thank you. Alexis: Does the mother even rate a mention in anybody's impassioned speech about fatherhood? Courtney: I can't speak for Sam or how involved she plans to be, but I do know how important it is for a child to have a father. And whoever the father does turn out to be, he deserves to be in his child's life.
