"You Have Nothing Left to Give"

Sonny: Alexis, you cannot honestly think I tried to have you killed.

Alexis: All I know is it wasn't an accidental hit-and-run. We were so far off the main road, we were so close to the edge of the cliff. Two more feet, we would've gone over. We had to have been followed.

Sonny: And that means I'm involved?

Alexis: You tell me.

Reese: We're investigating the possibility that the collision was a mob-related attack. They could've been targeting ric because he's sonny's brother.

Alexis: My god, people are coming after you through your family. Why on earth would you bring her here?

Sonny: Because I wanted her safe.

Alexis: This is the most dangerous place on the planet, Sonny! I wish I'd taken her when I had the chance.

Alexis: As painful as I know this has been for you, you have got to learn something from what happened to Michael. The people close to you are in constant danger, and they will continue to pay for it with their lives until there isn't anyone left.

Sonny: I was just trying to protect kristina.

Alexis: You brought her back to the place that she was abducted.

Reese: Ok, this is the safest place for Kristina right now. The security guards are surrounding the house --

Alexis: I know all about the security guards and I know all about the security system, and it didn't do my daughter any good.

Sonny: It's been overhauled.

Alexis: Is that supposed to reassure me?

Sonny: Nothing's going to happen!

Alexis: You say that every time, and every time, something terrible happens here! You don't honestly believe what you're saying, do you?

Reese: You've obviously been through a traumatic experience here, Alexis, and you're understandably emotional, but we just have to keep calm --

Alexis: Don't condescend to me, Agent Marshall. What, you've known him all of two months? I almost died this evening simply because my husband and my daughter happen to be related to him.

Sonny: Say the words, Alexis. Kristina's my daughter. I have the right --

Alexis: She has a right to be protected, and she is not protected in this house! Carly, you and I don't agree about a lot of things, but I know that we believe that protecting our children is the most important thing.

Carly: Ok.

Sonny: She's on her soapbox again.

Alexis: You lost one child. I know that you would move heaven and earth not to lose morgan.

Carly: Of course I would.

Alexis: Then tell him. You tell him that the children are not safe here and that no matter how much Aonny may love them, he needs to let them go. Tell him, Carly.

Carly: Look, Alexis, we don't know what's going on yet, and until we do, this is the safest place for Morgan and Kristina, here at Sonny's.

Alexis: I can't believe I'm hearing that.

Carly: Did you only ask me so I'd agree with you?

Alexis: How, after everything that has happened to you, can you ignore reality?

Carly: Sonny has the most security.

Alexis: He always does, and it doesn't make one iota of difference. My god, Carly, you're still choosing loyalty to him over the welfare of your children?

Carly: Nothing is more important to me than my son's safety.

Sonny: They're upstairs, Alexis. They're safe. They're happy. What do you want?

Carly: Yeah, but that's not the point, is it, Alexis?

Alexis: I'm going to get my daughter.

Sonny: No, no, wait, wait, ok? Kristina is staying here tonight.

Alexis: What are you going to do? Are you going to break my kneecaps?

Carly: Stop being so dramatic.

Alexis: You're a Federal Agent. Are you going to stand there and say nothing?

Sonny: Agent Marshall already gave her opinion. She thinks the kids are safer here with me tonight.

Alexis: You and Agent Marshall are obviously very comfortable with each other.

Sonny: Ok, come on now. You need to leave, now. I don't want to throw you out, but you need to leave.

Alexis: Not without my daughter.

Sonny: She's staying here because she's upstairs!

Reese: Alexis is right. You have to let her take kristina.

Reese: Look, I do think Kristina would be safest here in the house with you, at least until we know what's going on. However, Ms. Davis is the parent with primary custody.

Sonny: I have unlimited visitation.

Reese: Yeah, unfortunately, the law favors Alexis in this situation, and if she wants to take kristina, you can't stop her.

Alexis: Mr. Corinthos doesn't take into account the details of the law.

Carly: Alexis, you got what you want. Maybe you should just go.

Sonny: Right, right.

Alexis: You're right. I'm going to go upstairs and bring my daughter home.

Ric: You're not going anywhere except back to the hospital with me.

Ric: Excuse me for interrupting. Max let me in. Alexis, did you forget that you were in a car accident, that you're recovering, that the doctors have expressly said that they wanted you to remain in the hospital overnight?

Alexis: The doctors said I was fine and it was just a precaution.

Ric: No, it was a warning that you were meant to take seriously, all right? This is already a high-risk pregnancy and you have been diagnosed with a heart condition.

Alexis: I'm very well aware of what I've been diagnosed with. It's a mild condition.

Ric: No, it's not a mild -- it's a heart murmur, ok? Did you hear the doctors? I did.

Alexis: My daughter is not safe in this house.

Ric: Alexis, you were asked to stay put. But instead you decide to come over here and go rounds with sonny again. What, are you out of your mind?

Alexis: My daughter was kidnapped from this house.

Ric: I'm aware of that.

Alexis: It is not ok for her to be here and --

Ric: Sonny is taking every precaution! Kristina is not at risk. You are and so is the child you're carrying. Now, you were asked and told to stay in the hospital and rest. And that is exactly where i'm taking you. Sonny, thank you for watching Kristina. We'll pick her up in the morning.

Alexis: I will be right back to get my daughter. I need to talk to my husband in private.

Carly: I'm going upstairs to check on Morgan.

Reese: We still don't know who caused the hit-and-run.

Sonny: Alexis is right about one thing. It was more than a coincidence.

Reese: If you jump to conclusions and retaliate, you're just going to make things worse, sonny.

Sonny: True.

Reese: And I have your word that you will do nothing?

Sonny: I just agreed it's a smart thing to do. It's best for my family.

Carly: Sonny? Kristina had a bad dream and she was asking for you.

Sonny: Oh. Get over here. Ok, you had a nightmare, huh? Well, I'm glad you came down. You know why? Because nightmares are very scary. You sit right here. Nightmares are very scary, aren't they? Well, let me tell you something, next time that you have a little nightmare and you feel afraid, you know what you got to do? Huh? Let me tell you what you got to do. You got to think of your brother Michael, the one Ii told you about who's in heaven, right? All you got to do is think of him, ok? Remember how good he used to make you feel? Remember he used to play with you, make you laugh, right? Well, guess what -- guess where he is. He's in heaven. Can you say "heaven"?

Kristina: Heaven.

Sonny: Yeah! And he's looking down on you. And anytime that you feel afraid, you know what you got to do? All you got to do is say, "please, please, Michael, can you help me make my dreams, my bad dreams go away?" And he will make you happy. He will make you feel safe. You know why? I'll tell you why. Because he's your special guardian angel. Can you say "guardian angel"?

Kristina: Guardian angel.

Sonny: Yeah.

Ric: I swear to you, I've never met anybody who was so unbelievably reckless with their health. Please put this on.

Alexis: I cannot believe you undermined me in front of sonny. And by the way, I apologize for being a protective parent.

Ric: Oh, don't play the martyr here, ok? You're just giving in to paranoia!

Alexis: Are you kidding me?

Ric: Sonny and his mob buddies are all of a sudden responsible for everything, from the buses not running to a liquor store getting robbed, and then Kristina's all of a sudden in danger?

Alexis: Children are kidnapped, people are dropping like flies --

Ric: Alexis, come on! It could've been a simple hit-and-run!

Alexis: Agent Marshall seems to think it could've been a mob hit!

Ric: Agent Marshall? I don't give a damn about what Agent Marshall says! I am your husband! I'm also the district attorney, so my opinion matters just as much as hers, if not more!

Alexis: In your opinion, I should just lie there and do nothing?

Ric: That's right, for now.

Alexis: I'm not a broodmare, Rric. I can't just lie here and protect your offspring, because I have another child as well and I would like you to care about her as much as you do your own -- or don't you give a damn about her anymore?

Ric: The idea that I don't care about kristina is ludicrous.

Alexis: You know what I meant. It's just that she's not your biological daughter.

Ric: Oh, no, right, she's Sonny's biological child. I'm the stepfather, and -- if blood relation's the only thing that matters to you, alexis, she also happens to be my niece. I intend to raise Kristina and care for her and give her all of the love that I have to give, the same as I'm planning to give this child that you're carrying -- you know, the one I fought so desperately to save tonight, along with you, my wife.

Alexis: I'm very grateful for --

Ric: You're -- you're grateful? Did you hear yourself? You sound like you're in court. You sound like you're -- like you're thanking a witness for their testimony. Alexis, do you realize how long I tried to get you out of that car? I bargained with God. I pleaded with him to make sure that you and the baby were all right. I asked him if he did that that I'd never ask him for another thing ever in my life! You know, experiences like that change people, Alexis. You know, it usually brings them closer together. It makes them realize how precious life is and how -- how there is nothing more important than love and family. But that's not who you are.

Ric: I guess it's going to have to be enough, then, that -- that you and the baby are all right. Because you have nothing left to give.

Elizabeth: You ready to go? See you later. Oh, my goodness.

Ric: Hey, hey. Need a little help there?

Elizabeth: Hey! No, I'm fine. I've got it.

Ric: Ok.

Elizabeth: All right, who am I kidding? Here you go.

Ric: Ok. Whoa. What, you got a couple of bricks in here?

Elizabeth: No, but just about everything else. I mean, books, toys, bottles, whatever it takes in case we get stranded. Huh, cam? Because mommy's always prepared.

Ric: Well, you are a good mother, Elizabeth.

Elizabeth: Thanks. Try an exhausted one right now. Cameron's in that cruising stage where he's getting himself up onto furniture and he takes a couple steps and he explores things and he touches everything.

Ric: Is that right? I guess it's pretty scary when you realize what they can get into, huh?

Elizabeth: Tell me about it. This is the world's most curious child.

Ric: Is that right?

Elizabeth: Yeah.

Ric: Well, I hear that's a sign of intelligence.

Elizabeth: Really?

Ric: Really.

Elizabeth: Well, it looks like I have a genius on my hands. You should see my house. I've gated the doorways, I've covered the plugs. I've installed every safety device possible. But after that, you just kind of have to stand back and let him go.

Ric: Yeah. You ever get the feeling that you want to, I don't know, protect his safety, even to the point of smothering him?

Elizabeth: Not really. It's just so amazing watching them figure out the world around them. You know, falling down, getting up, learning, starting over.

Ric: Yeah, that's how it's supposed to be.
