"What
You Did to Carly Was Psychotic"
Ric:
This is all ancient history. I'm invested in the future right now,
and that includes that unborn child that Sams about to bring
into this world. The child should not have all the cards stacked
against it before it even has a chance to make an appearance.
Carly:
You're projecting, Ric. This is not about you. This child is Sonny's
responsibility. It's for him to obsess and worry about, not you.
Ric:
You continually surprise me, Carly.
Carly:
Yeah, well, you are predictable as hell, Ric.
Ric:
How could you, beyond anybody else, refuse to believe that somebody
is capable of change, huh, when you yourself are willing to tell
anybody who will listen that you did, right? Sonny recently found
forgiveness in his heart. The great oracle Jason, who tells the
truth and nothing but, has recently been lying like crazy. But me
-- right? -- Me, I'm the only one who's not allowed to change.
Carly:
What do you think, Alexis? Has Ric changed?
Ric:
Well, I think I deserve an answer to that.
Alexis:
I don't have one.
Ric:
Yeah, right, that's a cop-out.
Alexis:
What do you want from me, Ric?
Ric:
Well, not forgiveness, that's for sure. I mean, what I did to Carly
was reprehensible.
Alexis:
What you did to Carly was psychotic.
Locking a pregnant woman in a room and trying to take her child
is psychotic.
Ric:
Ok, right, yes, maybe you are right. It was psychotic. I was clearly
out of my mind for a little bit. I am not a kidnapper. I am not
a murderer. I am a lawyer, for God's sakes. I am a rational, logical,
thinking human being. I clearly didn't think Carlys kidnapping
out on any level except for one very, very primal level, and that
is grief over losing my child with my wife. There is no way that
I could've killed Carly. You have to believe that much.
Alexis:
I couldn't presume to say. I do, however, know all too well what
it's like to overstep one's own boundaries out of fear and desperation.
Do I eventually think that you can become the person you used to
be? I'd certainly like to.
