"I Did Everything I Did Out of Love"

Alexis: I realize that this is an imposition. And if I had anyone else to ask, you know I'd be asking, so this is kind of a last resort sort of thing.

Ned: Just say it. What do you want me to do?

Alexis: Can she spend the night with you, please? Viola is out of town for a couple days. She has a family emergency.

Ned: You want me to take Kristina tonight?

Alexis: It would be helping me out a lot.

Ned: I can't. As much as I'd like, I can't. I'm out of town.

Alexis: You can't postpone it?

Ned: No, I got to meet investors for L&B. I can't. What about Ric?

Alexis: That's not an option. Neither is Emily or Alice. So I'm sort of running out of options.

Sonny: Well, what about me? Or did it slip your mind that I'm Kristina's father?

Sonny: So, you need somebody to watch Kristina, and you asked Ned before me?

Ned: Well, Sonny, in case you didn't know, when Kristina was first born, I actually raised her as if she were my own.

Sonny: And I appreciate that, Ned. But, see, the thing is, I'm Kristina's dad now, so she doesn't need you looking out after her.

Alexis: You spend plenty of time with her as it is.

Sonny: That's one of the reasons I bought the new house, so Kristina and my sons could have plenty of room so they could play. You understand what I'm saying? We might as well get use -- you know, get some use out of it.

Alexis: Well, you can see her this weekend like we agreed.

Sonny: What are you going to do? You going to knock on everybody's door except mine to find somebody to watch Kristina?

Alexis: Pretty much.

Sonny: Right, so you get to dictate my time with my daughter? You heard the judge. She ruled I get unlimited visitation. And you know what that means. That means I get to see kristina pretty much whenever I want.

Alexis: Well, that's what happens when you pay off a judge.

Sonny: Well, think what you want. Is this -- you want to go back to court? Is this where this is heading?

Alexis: You want to go back to court? Fine. I've got "esquire" at the end of my name. It's not going to cost me anything. You can throw minutiae against the wall till kingdom come, or you could be reasonable.

Sonny: Ok, up to now, you know, being reasonable has meant doing everything your way. Yeah, not anymore.

Alexis: He's right. He has all the rights. I don't get a vote anymore. He wins. She's going to have to stay at his house. Ahem.

Alexis: Go on in. Feels good to get in out of the cold, huh? Here, have a seat, sweetie. If you want, you can take your mittens off, ok?

Alexis: Hey, how about you sleep at your daddy's tonight? Would that be fun? That'd be a good time, huh? Give me five. Yes!

Alexis: All right, I've changed my mind. Kristina's going to spend the night here.

Sonny: What happened? You couldn't find anybody else? Hello, sweetie!

Alexis: Want to go to daddy?

Sonny: Yes, come right here.

Alexis: There you go!

Sonny: Yeah.

Alexis: For your information, I could've hired a team of nannies if I chose to do that.

Sonny: Yeah, or canceled your plans.

Alexis: No, no, I couldn't do that.

Sonny: No? What's so important?

Alexis: None of your business.

Sonny: Yeah? Hey, look, look, look! See that? Look at that. You might as well tell me because I'm going to find out anyway.

Alexis: Ric and I are having a few problems.

Sonny: No kidding?

Alexis: We are married, and, yeah, I think it's important that we take some time to work out our difficulties. And I --

Sonny: Well, time for yourself is really good.

[Sonny laughs]

Alexis: I understand that I have focused all of my attention on Kristina because that was in her best interest and she needed that.

Sonny: Right, right.

Alexis: And now that I see that she's ok, maybe I'll take some time to focus on a couple of my own issues. Stop looking at me like that.

Sonny: Are you finished?

Alexis: No. Stop smirking and looking at me like -- I hate when you do that --

Sonny: No, see --

Alexis: When you look at me like you think you know something I --

Sonny: No, I was just thinking, you know, that you -- there may be some hope for you yet.

Alexis: I know it may appear that my feelings toward Kristina may seem a little excessive, but I did what I felt I needed to do, and I did everything I did out of love.

Sonny: I'm coming from the same place.

Alexis: I've been watching you, and I can see that your feelings for her are genuine.

Sonny: Does that mean you trust me to keep her safe?

Alexis: No.

Sonny: Ah.

Alexis: No, I didn't say that. But I do believe that you would do whatever you could to keep her safe.

Sonny: I'd call that progress.

Alexis: I'm wondering if you and i might be able to start focusing on Kristina and her best interests and stop arguing with each other.

Alexis: You be a good girl, ok? And listen to your dad.
