"I Don't Want Trouble With the Father of My Child"

Alexis: You called me about a position of mutual interest. I'm assuming this is about the Russo continuance?

John: No, no, I called you about the offer of the job of Assistant District Attorney.

Alexis: Why now?

John: I can't think of a better time.

Ric: (at Sonny's) No. I'm here to offer my help.

Alexis: The timing may be good for you, but it couldn't be worse for me. Besides, I have a conflict of interest where Sonny is concerned. I don't want trouble with the father of my child.

John: All right, look, how about this? I promise not to give you any cases that involve the Corinthos/Morgan mob -- good?

Alexis: Then why do you want me?

Mike: Hey.

Alexis: Hi there. Can I have a latte?

Mike: You got it.

Alexis: Thanks, Mike.

Mike: Sure.

Sam: Hey -- hi.

Alexis: Hi.

Sam: You forgot these in the courthouse last night. I -- I should have brought them --

Alexis: Thank you.

Sam: To the police station, but I forgot.

Alexis: I told you I leave things wherever I go.

Sam: Yeah.

Alexis: Sam -- I couldn't help but overhear Jason yelling at you.

Sam: Jason had every right to be angry with me. I left him in lockup all night long.

Alexis: He doesn't have a right to yell at you like that. So you have to be careful. I used to work with domestic violence victims. That's what they used to say. They'd blame themselves.

Ric: We can protect Emily. We can file a cease-and-desist against "The Herald" and WLPC. We can also get an injunction barring the media from circulating any more images or accounts in the hotel shooting.

Sonny: Thanks.

Ric: Well, it won't stop the media's feeding frenzy completely, but it should alleviate it.

Sonny: Why are you helping me?

Ric: You need it.

Sonny: Yeah. I will say this. You're probably the only one who hasn't said to me that, you know, I shouldn't be with Emily.

Ric: Well, your relationship with Emily is not unlike my relationship with Elizabeth. We put them on a pedestal. We look at them as these amazing women who are far better people than you and I will ever be. More forgiving of our faults than we deserve. I just hope that you can hang on to that kind of love better than I did.

Sam: If you're implying that Jason has abused me in any way, you are dead wrong.

Alexis: I --

Sam: He's the gentlest man I've ever known.

Alexis: I was just commenting on what I witnessed last week.

Sam: Ok. We had an argument. It happens.

Alexis: He was yelling at you violently.

Sam: Sonny and Emily almost died. Jason killed a gunman and was left in lockup all night. I would've yelled at him, too. In fact, I have yelled at him plenty of times and I probably will again. I'm not afraid of him. I love Jason.

Alexis: Just so you know that there are different kinds of abuse.

Sam: Why can't you admit that you jumped to the wrong conclusion?

Alexis: Sorry. I am. I was just trying to help.

Sam: You don't know anything about me or my life or my love for Jason, so please just stay the hell out of it.

Ric: Well, Elizabeth was strong, kind, and full of hope for the future. I found a peace with her I had never felt before. She made me want to be a better man. But, as you know, my demons took hold of me and I destroyed my marriage before I ever had a chance.

Sonny: Well, you're married now to Alexis. You have a family.

Ric: Yes, I love Alexis. And Molly is amazing. She's the best thing that's ever happened to me, but I don't forget about how it was with Elizabeth. She would love me so purely and so deeply, I felt like anything was possible. So, if that's what you have with Emily, best of luck to you.

Sonny: Thank you. Now, I'd appreciate it if you could get me that injunction.

Ric: I'll call you when it's done.

Alfred: Sir, you've received over 20 calls from various news outlets asking for your comments on the events of last night.

Nikolas: Tell them no comment.

Alfred: It will be my pleasure, sir.

Alexis: Did you find him in the classifieds?

Nikolas: You see the lead story in the paper this morning?

Alexis: A little hard to miss. Sonny's relationship with Emily is a full-blown scandal and look it -- there you are, right in the middle. How are you holding up?

Nikolas: I -- I'm more concerned about Emily and Sonny's kids. And I hope it hasn't affected Kristina yet.

Alexis: She hasn't learned to read. God only knows that'll last.

Nikolas: Well, then I'm sure you're motivated to help me. I need to do whatever it takes to get this out of the press -- injunctions, precedents, civil suits, whatever.

Alexis: I can start working on it this afternoon, but I would imagine that Sonny's already done some damage control.

Nikolas: Yeah. That's my point -- I want it done right. Sonny's got bigger problems to deal with now.

Alexis: Well, I can request an injunction from the news media to protect her privacy. I mean, after all, she was a victim of the hotel attack.

Nikolas: Thank you. Let me know if there's anything else required.

Alexis: Ok. How do you feel about bribes?

Nikolas: Not above it as long as Emily doesn't know.

Alexis: Oh, you'd protect her good name without any credit -- that's very noble.

Nikolas: It's for Emily.

Alexis: Just an observation, but I'm not sure you're as interested in protecting her from the news media as you are redeeming yourself --

Nikolas: Thank you for your help, but if you don't mind, I have some business calls to make.

Alexis: Nikolas, redeeming yourself is admirable. To want to make amends for what happened with Emily is a good thing, but are you wanting something more?

Nikolas: There is no more. Emily told me she's in love with Sonny now.
