"I Don't have Permission to take Kristina Anywhere"

Brook Lynn: Ok, so the secret is you want to dunk the cookie in the milk because you want it to be mushy, but not too mushy, right? Want to take a bite?

Kristina: No.

Brook Lynn: No? Ok.

Ric: Oh, oh, look who's there. Hello, ladies. Where's my favorite girl in the whole world, huh? Hey, you having cookies? Can I sit here with you just for a second? Oh, what a treat. Up we go. That's my girl. Ok.

Brook Lynn: I wanted you to know Kristina misses you.

Ric: Yeah? You know what? I miss you too, love. So, Alexis is letting you babysit, huh? I'm impressed.

Brook Lynn: Yeah. Actually, she had to work tonight, and Viola had the night off, so you're stuck with your kind of big sister, aren't you, kid?

Ric: Yeah, that's all right. You grow on people, don't you, sweetie?

Brook Lynn: Yeah, she sure does.

Ric: Well, you know what? You should be flattered, because Alexis doesn't trust many people with her daughter. Hmm?

Ric: No. What do you want? Which one?

Kristina: The very big.

Ric: The very big piece. That's a girl. If your mother was here, she'd scream.

Brook Lynn: Listen, I heard about you and Alexis breaking up, Ric. I'm really sorry about that.

Ric: Yeah, me, too.

Brook Lynn: You know, I don't understand why people can't just get together and stay together, right?

Ric: Hmm.

Brook Lynn: Like my grandparents and my aunts and uncles. Well, actually, most of my aunts and uncles. I mean, yeah, ok, so there's a lot of yelling, right? And I understand that my Uncle Mark spends a lot of time on the couch, but the point is at the end of the day, they're under the same roof, you know? They're together.

Ric: Yeah. Maybe that's -- maybe that's what marriage is, huh? Trying to live under the same roof.

Brook Lynn: I know, right? It's like love has nothing to do with it.

Ric: Oh, you are way too young to think that way.

[Phone rings]

Brook Lynn: Hold on one second. Hello.

Ric: Hmm?

Brook Lynn: Yeah?

Ric: Don't ever think that way, you, right?

Brook Lynn: Yeah. Hold on one second.

Ric: What's the matter?

Brook Lynn: Look, it's Sonny's lawyer. She wants me to take Kristina over to the new house tonight?

Ric: Give it to me. This is Ric Lansing.

Jordan: Hi, Ric? Yeah, I can't get ahold of Alexis and Sonny wants to surprise the kids with the house tonight. He's on his way back.

Ric: We're on our way. Here. You want to go for a ride, baby, hmm? Just put down the cookie just for a sec. I'll give it to you. You want to hang on to it? Ok.

Brook Lynn: Mr. Lansing?

Ric: Here we go -- yes.

Brook Lynn: I don't have permission to take Kristina anywhere.

Ric: That's ok. You're with me, not a problem.

Brook Lynn: Are you sure? I mean, we should at least call Alexis, right?

Ric: No, no, no, no. As for Alexis, you know, she's just going to have to realize that I can take care of Kristina just as well, huh?

Brook Lynn: Ok.

Ric: There you go, baby. That's a good girl. Give me the other arm. Yeah! See that? Straight up to the sky. There you go, baby. Let's get you all bundled up, ok? Big girl, come to Ric. Up we go! All right. Yeah, I'll bring your cup --

Brook Lynn: My gloves.

Ric: You got your cookie. We're going to take this one for the road, aren't we, huh? You want the bigger -- yeah, that's it. That's it.

Brook Lynn: Right.

Ric: Hmm. Here we go. All righty. Whoo, whoo! It's kind of chilly! Let's get bundled up here, ok?

[Knock on door]

Jordan: Oh, that must be Brook Lynn and Kristina.

Carly: Oh, I'll get it.

Ric: Hi.

Jordan: Thanks for dropping her off.

Ric: Ah, sure, not a problem. Come on, honey. Come on in.

Jordan: Hey, Kristina.

Ric: Wow, huh? I got to admit, I was curious as to what was done with the house.

Brook Lynn: Gosh, look at this place.

Carly: Why don't you take Kristina on a little tour?

Brook Lynn: So it's ok for us to just wander around?

Carly: Yeah, go ahead. Just don't get lost.

Brook Lynn: Want to go? Come on.

Ric: Do you want to go with Brook Lynn, honey? Go ahead.

Brook Lynn: Let's go look at the house.

Ric: Go ahead.

Carly: So, does Alexis know that you took Kristina, or should I call 911?

Ric: Oh, I think I'll leave that up to you. Alexis isn't done with me the way Sonny's done with you.

Carly: Hmm. I guess that makes you the big winner.

Ric: Hmm.

Carly: Bye-bye!

Brook Lynn: Hey. We saw a tree house through the window, and we were wondering if we could go outside and play.

Carly: Yeah, yeah, that's what it's there for.

Brook Lynn: Great.

Carly: So what's your baby's --?

Brook Lynn: What just happened?

Carly: Just --

Brook Lynn: Do you --

Carly: Just -- just be quiet.

Carly: What the hell's going on? First, the security system breaks down. Now the lights are out?

Jordan: Maybe the security system overloaded the power. I'm calling Stan right now.

[Noise]

Carly: Who's there?
