31, 2007 Transcript Sonny: What can I do for you, Alexis? No offense -- could you make it fast? Alexis: You know when you do that, it just makes me want to talk slower? I need to talk to you about your testimony during the custody hearing. Sonny: I'm sorry. Um -- it's just a bad time. I can't do that right now, so -- Alexis: I -- I had to take a cab here because I'm too tired to drive myself, so I hope that gives you some sort of an indication of how important this is to me. Sonny: I'm fully prepared to testify at Molly's custody hearing tomorrow, and I will promise you I -- I will not lose my temper. I will be the most polite, charming witness the courtroom has ever seen. Alexis: Thanks. Wouldn't it be funny if the judge gave you custody of Molly? [Alexis laughs] Sonny: Well, then I'd just turn Molly right over to her mother because that's where she belongs. Alexis: Thank you. I know that I'm overcompensating. It's just that, you know, I can't wish away the evidence. I got caught, busted for smoking pot, and there's pictures of me showing it. Sonny: But you use marijuana to counteract the effects of the chemotherapy. Alexis: Details, details. Sonny: Well, a judge might see it that way, you know? All it takes is experience with somebody who's fighting cancer. Alexis: I spent half my life in the justice system and the judges tend to frown on people that use drugs illegally. This is also a double-edged sword. Because if I whine about how debilitating the chemo makes me feel, then it just strengthens Ric's case and it tells the judge that I'm not strong enough to take care of Molly. So I made a big error here. I picked a fight with Ric that I knew that I couldn't win. Sonny: If you assume you're going to lose, you probably will. Sonny: What do you want? Ric: We have a warrant to search the premises for marijuana. Lucky: There's no sign of marijuana anywhere. Sonny: Oh, are you sure? You might've missed a spot. Did you check the wheatgrass? [Alexis laughs] Sonny: Because it could be a good camouflage -- Jason: What's -- what's going on? Sonny: Oh, my brother, Ric, has a search warrant, and he's going to find absolutely nothing. Ric: I had reason to believe that there was marijuana on the premises. Sonny: Ric, you know there's no marijuana on the -- Ric: Sonny, Alexis was arrested once for possession. It stands to reason you, with your known connections to organized crime, might be her supplier. Alexis: Do you really think I'm stupid enough to get busted? Jason: This -- this is your job, to harass a woman who's sick because this guy tells you to? Lucky: Listen, it was a legitimate warrant, I had to execute it. My opinion doesn't matter. Sonny: Let me clue you in on something, detective spencer. Things aren't always what it seems with my brother. He -- he had no intention of finding marijuana in here. He just wanted to get me so upset that I do something foolish. As you can see, that's not happening. So I want both of you out of here right now. Alexis: Actually, I'd like to talk to Ric. Sonny: Alexis, what are you talking about? That's not a good idea. What do you mean? Alexis: I -- I really think I should. Sonny: We'll be in my office. Excuse me. Lucky: Let's go. Ric: What's it all about, Alexis? Alexis: I surrender. Ok? You win. Sonny: I hate what that bastard's dog to Alexis. Jason: Ok, look, there's nothing we can do about Alexis. But there is something you can do for Carly -- just give her the divorce. Alexis: I broke the law. You caught me red-handed. You have undeniably outmaneuvered me in every conceivable way. You have won, Ric, our sad, little war. I'm only going to ask one thing, just one thing, and that is th you be gracious in your victory -- not for me, but for Molly's sake. Come see her whenever you want, anytime, no conditions. [Ric sighs] Alexis: Drop the custody suit. Ric: You may not believe this, but I wish I could help you. I wish you didn't have cancer, Alexis. I know it's the hardest thing that you've ever had to go through. And I wish I could do something to ease that pain, but not at the expense of my daughter. Molly's going to come live with me because it is the best possible situation all the way around. I can give her the time and the attention that she needs. I'm not compromised by chemo, I'm not enthralled to Sonny. I can give her a better home and a better life, and that's what she deserves.
