4, 2004 Transcript Alexis arrives at The Cellar for a charity event. Jen: Thank you so much for coming. Alexis: Thank you for having me. Jen: Absolutely. Alexis: I appreciate it. Thank you. Alan: Alexis, you got a minute to talk about Skye’s case? Alexis: Listen, I don't want you to worry. Ric is grandstanding. All the evidence is circumstantial. Alan: I sure hope you can prove her innocence. Edward: Well, why would she want to? I mean, Alexis hates Skye because she kept Kristina from her. Probably throw the case. Alexis: Skye is innocent. It is my job to prove it, and I will. Alan: Well, I hope so, because that D.A. is out to get her. Alexis: You don't worry about Ric Lansing. I can handle him. (She sees Ric enter the room) Excuse me. Alan: Hmm. Ric: Well, Alexis. Don't you look lovely? So, are we going to have another conversation about the case, or do you have anything more personal in mind? Tracy: Well, it's about time. You need to shut down this mobster's ball. Now. [Reporters buzz] [Applause] Tracy: Oh, look -- it's the blond leading the blond. Alexis: I think it's nice to see Jax happy. Tracy: He'll be bored in a week. Ric: I take it you don't think that Courtney has enough to offer? Tracy: Please. She's a stripper with delusions of grandeur. It's going to take a lot more than that to keep him interested. Alexis: Meaning you? Tracy: Watch and learn, counselor. Tracy leaves. Faith walks by. Alexis: What is Faith doing here? Ric: Well, I'm sure the entire organized crime contingent will be in attendance. As a matter of fact, I'm counting on it. Alexis: This is a legitimate charity. Think about all the children that are going to benefit from this rather than your obsession with the mob. Ric: Oh, that's why you're here, huh? To combat my power-mad vendetta against the mob? Alexis: I hadn't thought of that. Yes. Ric: You know what? Admit it, Alexis. This is just yet another excuse for you to run into me. Admit it -- you've got a crush. Alexis: You are not only deluded, you are narcissti-- Ric: Narc-- narciss-- narcissistic? Is that what you mean? You know what? I'd like to run around the playground with you, but I have a little business to attend to. Talk to you later. He walks away. Reporter: Mr. Corinthos, how do you respond to the allegations that your sister's charity is a money laundering front? Tracy: Did you hear that? I believe that is the death knell of Courtney’s little fundraiser. Ned: Mother, you're practically foaming at the mouth. Justus: You seem to live for moments like this, don't you? Tracy: What I live for is being right. Ric: Gentlemen, I can assure you that, as district attorney, we have scrutinized this particular organization. We've found it to be completely legitimate, and it has the intent of helping abused and neglected children. The governing body is also set up by local businessmen such as Mr. Jasper Jacks. Mr. Corinthos is here to support his sister, which he has every right to do. I think we need to give Ms. Matthews the respect she deserves and make this a success for the children, don't you? All right, thank you. That's all, that's all. Sonny: Are you waiting for me to thank you? Ric: Not necessary. Alexis: D.A. Lansing is intent on proving that Courtney’s foundation is a front for your illegitimate business. Fortunately, he's not going to succeed, although you're not doing her any favors by showing up here. Ric: You know, Alexis, you look a little overheated. Why don't I get you a drink, huh? He leaves. Sonny: Is something going on with you and Ric? Alexis: Excuse me. Can I have a mineral water, please? Bartender: Sure. Alexis: Thanks. Sonny: Alexis, is Ric working you for information? Because everything you know is protected by attorney/client privilege, and if you give Ric anything, I can have you disbarred. Alexis: Will you stop threatening me? Ric and I are on the opposite sides are every conceivable issue. He derives pleasure out of antagonizing me. It's competition and ego, nothing else. Sonny: Oh. Well, you always thought you were smarter and more educated than everybody else, and Ric pretty much believes the same thing about himself, so I’m sure you guys will have a lot in common. Sonny leaves while Alexis glares at him. Ric approaches with a glass of champagne. Ric: Champagne? Alexis: No. I've had enough of you. What are you doing, Ric? Courtney: If I could have everyone's attention, please. Ric: Whoo. Now, this is what I call a party, huh? Let's see, we got Alcazar and Faith in attendance. We got Jax sweeping your sister off of her feet, and we got your best friend and enforcer, who has just stolen your mistress. Any idea who you're going to shoot first? Sonny: Yeah, I think I got an idea. How about if I start with you? Ric: You know, assaulting the district attorney could generate some bad publicity for Courtney’s foundation. Sonny: I don't know what you're talking about, Ric. I just made a comment. You probably just took it the wrong way. Ric: Yeah, right. You know, you're very easily misunderstood. Alexis: People are starting to stare. Sonny: They always do. Alexis: Tracy wants to ruin this for your sister, and if you two start this, she'll exploit it. Sonny: All right, you know what? Just -- just stay away from my family. Ric: You got family right in front of you, in case you hadn't noticed. (Sonny leaves) Thanks for the rescue. Alexis: I'm protecting this charity. I can sympathize with unwanted children. Ric: Yeah, so can I. Alexis: The only reason you're at this charity is because you want to start trouble with your -- Ric: I have multiple interests here, Alexis, unlike you, who seems to keep saying the same thing over and over again. I mean, you have the vocabulary. That's wonderful, but, you know, the theme is constantly repetitive. Alexis: What are you babbling about? Ric: You. You take every advantage possible to be near Sonny. Or is it me you're trying to be near?
