Carly: You have got to be kidding me.

Jax: Well, what did you expect, Carly -- for me to be sitting in the dark here waiting for you to come back to me?

Carly: Well, I definitely didn't expect to find this, Jax!

Jax: Well --

Alexis: Ever since we were married, we've had a very close connection.

Jax: Yes, including the current one. You know, it's an interesting parallel -- I'm here with Alexis and you're with Sonny.

Carly: Great, so what's that -- an ex for an ex?

Alexis: Well, Sonny's not your ex -- technically. I mean, he's still your husband.

Jax: Yeah, which is another interesting question -- how do you think Sonny would feel about you letting yourself into my apartment to do what exactly? Why are you here?

Carly: I was crazy think that after we slept together and you left the door open for reconciliation that you'd want to work things out. My mistake.

Jax: Hey, hey, you know what? You're the one that wanted a strictly professional relationship. I'm just trying to honor that.

Carly: Yeah, by sleeping with Alexis, huh?

Jax: Oh, it shouldn't matter who I sleep with -- right? I mean, you're the one that said it's over between us and --

Carly: You are just trying to get back at me for what happened with sonny! Why don't you admit it, Jax?

Jax: You know, I -- I understand that you have a little different take on life than most, but marrying a man, then sleeping with him while engaged to another, is generally a valid reason for taking offense.

Carly: Ok! What's this?

Alexis: I just needed a little T.L.C., which Jax was all too happy to provide -- with great enthusiasm, I might add.

Carly: Spare me the details. You guys are pathetic -- you deserve each other.

Jax: Thanks for playing along.

Alexis: All right. Well, that was fun. It was also very informational.

Jax: Really? How so?

Alexis: Because if Carly can be jealous of me, now, in this wig, "A", she must be very insecure, but, she must really love you.

Alexis: What do you think?

Jax: Well, more importantly, what do you think?

Alexis: I like this. I do.

Jax: Yeah?

Alexis: This is -- I feel good in this. You have good taste.

Jax: Well, at least I'm good for something.

Alexis: You know, you didn't have to have the boutique send me something. I was fine in the robe.

Jax: Well, I wasn't going to have you ride home in damp clothes. Your immune system is weak enough as it is, which is why I don't want you to leave here with just popcorn and wine in your stomach. I got you something real to eat.

Alexis: Hmm.

Jax: So come on, sit down, and then when you're done, I'll have my driver take you home, ok?

Alexis: You're an incredible man, you know that?

Jax: It's the least you deserve, you know that?

Alexis: As fun as this is -- all of it -- the longer I stay up here, the angrier Carly's going to get.

Jax: Well, I certainly hope so.

Alexis: You don't have any dessert, do you?

Jax: I have creme brulee or chocolate fudge cake.

Alexis: Mmm. Both, please.

Jax: Both?

Alexis: I haven't had an appetite in a long time. I'm taking advantage of this.

Jax: You know, I'm just glad that you're handling this rod of chemo better than the last.

Alexis: Today is a particularly good day.

Jax: Yeah --Last year was not good, you know? The cancer and the chemo.

Alexis: The chemo was the piece-of-cake part. I'm going to write a book -- "How to Survive Everything At Once."

Jax: A new bestseller.

Alexis: You think?

Jax: Absolutely. I'd read it.

Alexis: I sometimes wonder what would have happened if I had confronted Ric right from the beginning -- if this thing wouldn't have spiraled out of control, if I had been honest, instead of rationalizing myself into this emotional quagmire.

Jax: Hey, you are more than holding your own.

Alexis: That's because I have good friends. And because you are my good friend, I want you to be happy. So happy that in spite of the fact that you know that I think you deserve somebody better than Carly -- it's my choice, not yours.

Jax: Ok, I should probably go get us some dessert.

Alexis: The dessert can wait. The truth can't.

Jax: I'm just --

Alexis: You need to go down there and tell her how you feel. Otherwise, she's going to sit down there and think that you and I are actually having an affair. And then she's going to run back to Sonny and this time, he ain't going to let her go.

Jax: Oh.
