"Adultery"

Ric: Agent Marshall, you look nice.

Reese: Yeah, well, that was supposed to be the idea.

Ric: Didn't you go to Jax and Courtney’s wedding?

Reese: Oh, it was lovely. It was enlightening. I think Sonny and I are over before we ever really started.

Nikolas: I didn't mean to drag you away from the wedding reception. This can -- this can wait, you know.

Alexis: Don't be silly. Listen, it's over, and the restaurant's opening up, it's fine.

Nikolas: No, it can wait till tomorrow; it really can.

Alexis: No, let's do it now. This is a good time to do it because I'm sure you're interested in reclaiming that stolen money, and I'm sure this thing is going to just sort itself out right away, so we can get started.

Nikolas: What's going on, Alexis?

Alexis: What are you taking about?

Nikolas: Because, you know, when you go into that, like, rapid-fire attorney mode, it usually means you're trying to cover some emotion that you'd rather not deal with.

Alexis: It annoys me when you know me well like that.

Nikolas: Difficult seeing Jax get married again?

Alexis: No, I'm happy for him. It's just difficult watching two people take their vows when I'm in the process of breaking mine

Nikolas: Congratulations on your marriage, Jax.

Jax: Thanks very much, Nikolas.

Nikolas: Oh, yeah, hi, Tracy. I need to speak to you again about that $15 million you owe me.

Jax: Do I want to know what that's about?

Alexis: It was part of a plan to trap Helena.

Skye: And, no, you don't want to know. It's only going to give you a headache on your wedding night.

Jax: Oh, nothing could ruin my wedding night.

Alexis: Look at him. He's positively blissful.

Jax: Oh.

Skye: Do you think he’s finally onto something that will last a lifetime?

Alexis: I certainly hope so.

Jax: You know, I really am a lucky man to have such beautiful ex-wives wishing me well in my new marriage.

Alexis: Well, you were a wonderful husband.

Jax: Thank you.

Skye: And Courtney’s very lucky to have you.

Alexis: I'm not going to lie to you. I loved being married to you. You were a very faithful companion.

Jax: Oh. Well, we did have our good times, didn't we?

Alexis: It's too bad that it ended in divorce. That was such a shame. Speaking of which, there's Ric.

Jax: Ah, such a waste, isn't it? I mean, Alexis and Ric splitting up when they're having a baby?

Skye: Well, a baby doesn't solve marital problems.

Jax: Yeah, but at least they could try to stay together.

Skye: Maybe they already have. Listen, unless a relationship is based on love, it doesn't stand a chance at survival.

Ric: Maybe the simplest solution is to get a divorce in the Dominican Republic.

Alexis: The custody agreement has to be done in New York, so to ensure that everything is legal, we should get the divorce done here.

Ric: Yeah, that's assuming that we can find a judge who will actually grant us one.

Alexis: Truthfully, there really is no guarantee that another judge will be inclined to grant us a divorce.

Ric: This is ridiculous, you know? Neither of us want to be married anymore. That should be more than enough reason to make it legal.

Alexis: Well, to get divorced in the state of New York, one or both spouses needs to have committed one of the following --

Ric: All right.

Alexis: Physical or sexual abandonment for more than a year.

Ric: Hmm.

Alexis: That clearly is not a factor.

Ric: Mm-hmm.

Alexis: Or one or both spouses needs to prove that the other has been cruel or inhuman.

Ric: Well, you've been irritating, occasionally infuriating, but you've never actually been cruel or inhumane.

Alexis: Likewise, I'm sure.

Ric: There's got to be some other reason for grounds for a divorce.

Alexis: Adultery.

Ric: Yeah.

Alexis: I mean, I know that I haven't cheated, and I'm assuming that you haven't cheated, either. I mean, when would you have the time?

Ric: Huh.

Alexis: Or have you?
