3, 2005 Transcript Sonny: You know, sometimes I think how easy it would be just to reach out, try again. But then I stop myself because I know that in the end, we're just too different. We just can't make it work, not for the long haul. But at least this time, you know, we've managed to let go with grace. And that has to be enough. Carly: Oh, Sonny, I fight those impulses, too. It's like my -- it's like my heart, my spirit is just so conditioned to fight for you and what we used to have. But I know -- I know this painful reality just starts crashing down; that we are too different. You know, we'd be fine for a while, we would be great. But then we'd smack head-on, we'd just be right back at it, our differences would reappear, and who knows what we'd do, right? How we'd inflict the damage this time, on ourselves, on our children. It's better this way. But I miss you. Sonny: I miss you, too. Alexis: Max, will you calm down? I'm here to -- Max: Look, Sonny doesn't want to -- Alexis: Will you -- you're stepping on my feathers! Now move! Honestly -- have the two of you no shame? Alexis: They're together, they're apart. They're married, they're divorced, then it's revoked -- I don't think you can do that, can you? Then they're remarried again, and then they sue everybody for everybody's -- [Ric whistles] Alexis: Children. And, you know, that's ok because who am I to judge, really? It's not right for me to judge because if it's ok with you, if it floats your boat -- or, in your case, if it trips your trigger -- then it's ok with us, right? I just think it's inappropriate to let a 2-year-old innocent girl happen to walk down and catch you in your bizarre mating rituals. Ric: Maybe you want to take it down a notch. Alexis: Oh, ok. If you want to have a reunion, you should maybe go upstairs and do it in your bedroom, preferably behind locked doors, because then she won't be able to catch you. Carly: Get a grip, Alexis. Alexis: Or have you already scarred her for life? Yes or no? Answer the question. Sonny: Kristina is upstairs sleeping, like she's been all night, Alexis. Carly: Yeah, and if she had wandered downstairs by chance, the only traumatic thing she would've seen was Sonny putting an ice pack on my ankle. See, drunkie? Ice pack? Ankle? Alexis: Right. Sonny: You know what? This is, like, a fascinating glimpse into the inner workings of your mind. Do you, like, spend all your energy and time just fantasizing about what we do when we're together? Is that what you --? Alexis: Oh, my God! That is a frightening thought. Carly: Oh! Sonny: Oh, is it? Well, you brought it up! Carly: Yeah, and be careful with the word "frightening." Look who you're standing next to. Ric: Ha-ha-ha. Alexis: Oh. I'm just making an assumption based on history. It was perfectly reasonable. Sonny: Hey, Alexis -- Alexis: Reasonable, right? Ric: Mm-hmm. Sonny: How many drinks did you knock down at the New Year’s Eve party? Alexis: If you're implying that I'm drunk, I am not. I am very relaxed. And I want my daughter. Where is she? Sonny: You know what? I think it would be best if you picked her up in the morning. Ric: Yeah, I tend to agree with Sonny. Alexis: What? Ric: Well, why do we want to wake up Kristina, only to have to bring her home and put her down again? Why don't we come back in the morning? You know, we could take her to breakfast. It'll be a lot of fun. Alexis: No. Ric: No? Ok. We'll be back at 8:00 in the morning, ok, to pick her up? Just have her ready, all right? Come on. Alexis: Ok, I don't really think that's a very good idea. Ric: Come on, sweetheart, let's go. Come on. Alexis: I am objecting, and I -- Ric: It's all right. Overruled. Good night, everyone! Alexis: Is it New Year’s yet? Ric: Yes, it is. Happy New Year. Alexis: Happy New Year, everyone. Carly: I should get going, too. Sonny: Wait, whoa. You don't have to go. Ric: Ok, easy. Alexis: Isn't he the bastion of acceptable social behavior, sticking up his nose at me, and acting all superior -- Ric: Yeah. Alexis: And saying that I'm drunk. Ric: Oh, the nerve. Alexis: Whoo! Ric: Whoa, whoa, whoa! Come here, come here. Come on. Alexis: This is kind of fun! Ric: Yeah, yeah, yeah, let's spin it around here. Alexis: All right, here we go! Ric: Let's get it going this way. Alexis: Here we go! Ric: That a girl. Ok, ready? One, two -- Alexis: Just hoist me up! Ric: Three -- that's it. Beautiful. Why don't I navigate that way, ok? Alexis: Ok. Now where were we? Ric: Sonny -- Alexis: Oh, that's right. Ric: Being the bastion of -- Alexis: Anyway, he sent me home, trying to make it look like I should go sleep it off, and I think that was highly inappropriate. You didn't side with him, did you? Ric: No, but Sonny did have a point, you know? Well, you did have one or two -- just one or two drinks, and Kristina might get the wrong idea about your condition. Alexis: One or two drinks is perfectly acceptable, and let me just say, first of all, that I did not have a condition. Ric: Ok. Alexis: And second of all -- Ric: Hmm? Alexis: Huh? Ric: Yeah. Alexis: I'm hammered. Ric: Yeah. But you're cute when you're hammered. Alexis: Could you do me a big favor? Ric: What? Alexis: If you really care about me -- and I know -- Ric: Mm-hmm? Alexis: Could you go make me a nice, black, strong cup of coffee? Ric: Ok. Alexis: I need to get sober. Ric: So you can be more awake? Alexis: So I could go to Sonny’s. Ric: Nah, I don't really think that's a good idea. Alexis: Yeah, I do. I do because I really -- Ric: No, don't do it, really. Alexis: I want to go get my daughter. Ric: I know you do, but it's probably safer if you stay here, really. No, don’t. No, Alexis -- no, no. Ok, all right, all right, ok, ok -- Alexis: If you care, you'll go get me some coffee because I really need to go get her. Ric: Ok, just stay here, all right? Alexis: Thank you. Ric: Stay -- easy. Alexis: You're good to me. Ric: Stay. Alexis: Ok. Ric: Ok? Uh-huh. I think you're making a big mistake, though. Kristina seemed fine where she was. Alexis: I'm going to go get her. I'm just going to take a little nap first. There we go. Ric: What'd you say, Alexis? I couldn't hear you. Ric: Here. Alexis: Mmm. Ric: Hello? Here's that coffee that you ordered last night. Alexis: Oh. Could you turn it down? Ric: What? Alexis: Why is the sun so bright? Ric: It's a conspiracy. Come on, time to get up. We got to go pick up Kristina. Alexis: Mm-hmm. Oh, my God! Oh, my God. I went to get her last night. Ric: Mm-hmm. Alexis: Do you think that he noticed that I was a little -- Ric: Inebriated? Alexis: Oh, my God. He's going to find some way to use that against me. Sonny: Ahem. Here's mommy. Alexis: Hi, sweetheart. Sonny: Yeah. Alexis: Hey! Did you have a good time, huh? Did you? If you're thinking of letting any of this turn into a custody issue, you can forget about it, ok? Ok. Sonny: What -- what happened last night? Ric: Seems like Kristina had a good time here. Looks like the current arrangement is working out. Sonny: Yeah, I agree. Alexis: Why is your lawyer here? Jordan: You don't have to answer that. Sonny: Oh, I don't mind. No, no. We were just going over some final details of my divorce, and I asked her to come here because, you know, I didn't want to leave Kristina. Alexis: That's commendable. Ok. Come here, sweetie. That's a good girl. We'll just leave the two of you to do your work. You want to say goodbye to Sonny? Sonny: Ok, ok, that's "daddy." Kristina: Bye-bye. Sonny: That's "daddy," yeah. Alexis: All right. Sorry. Sonny: Oh, yeah, Alexis -- tomato juice. Alexis: What? Sonny: Tomato juice with a little bit of hot sauce, two aspirin. It's the best thing for a hangover. Because I know at this point you're probably nursing a pretty bad one. Alexis: It's oh-so typical of Sonny, you know, to act like he doesn't think anything happened last night and then throw it in my face as I'm walking out the door, right? Ric: Well, I think, all things considered, it turned out better than we had hoped, you know? You got a chance to go out, loosen up. Sonny let Kristina go without a fight. There's no real tension or jockeying for position. Maybe the shared custody thing is going to work out after all. Jordan: Your divorce from Carly was an excuse. You wanted me to be here when Ric and Alexis picked up Kristina. Sonny: Smart lady. Jordan: Well, why? If you're not going to file a writ with the judge about Alexis being inebriated last night, then why? Sonny: Well, because, see, look, I own an island casino -- Jordan: Right. Sonny: Near Puerto Rico, right? I want to take my kids there for a couple of days on vacation, and I want to bring Kristina. Jordan: Puerto Rico? Oh, I doubt Alexis will agree to that. Sonny: You're right. She's going to hate the idea. That's why it worked out for me that she got wasted on New Year's Eve because it gives me the leverage to take my daughter out of the country whether her mother approves or not.
