17, 2007 Transcript Nikolas:
So the paperwork on your new visa can't be completed until you establish
residency in France. I suggest you go to Paris yourself and apply
in person if you'd like to expedite the process. James:
And leave you to fend for yourself? That hardly seems fair, doesn't
it? Nikolas:
I'll survive. Just leave me with an adequate supply of the counteragent,
thank you. James:
Oh, so Dr. Scorpio could try and reverse-engineer it while I'm gone? Nikolas:
You said that wasn't possible. James:
It's not. Nikolas:
Well, then I don't see the problem. Why would she waste her time
if that wasn't actually possible? James:
Oh, hello. Alexis:
Hi. Is this a bad time? James:
No, no, no, we were discussing some tedious but necessary details
about our business deal. Actually, it's time for me to take a break.
Enjoy your visit with your aunt. Alexis:
Actually, I'm here to see you. James: Oh, really?
Alexis:
I wanted to thank you for your help. Nikolas:
What -- what help? James: Oh, did I fail to mention that I saved your aunt's life? Alexis:
Mr. Brosnan is exaggerating -- he didn't actually save my life.
It's -- it's -- James:
Well, your aunt was suffering from dehydration. Had I not taken
her to the hospital, it's very likely she would've passed out or
something much more serious. Alexis:
That's a bit over the top, don't you think? James:
No. Alexis:
Well, no point in debating a hypothetical. I just really want to
thank you for putting Kristina at ease while I was with Dr. Trent.
James:
Oh, yes, I taught Kristina a card game to pass the time, you know.
Nikolas:
Oh. Alexis:
Chemin de fer. Kristina was very impressed. She didn't know what
she liked more -- his ability to deal with the cards, or his ability
to use all these different voices. What an unusual talent. James:
Well, you know, I was trying to take Kristina's mind off your illness.
Alexis:
You did a wonderful job -- James:
Thank you. Alexis:
And apparently you think so, too. I do, though. I appreciate it.
I appreciate everything that you did to
put Kristina at ease. James:
And how is her mother feeling? Nikolas:
Better, obviously, but -- but no need to push. So why don't you
go home and rest while he and I finish up, and I'll come by later.
Scott:
Well, put on your best suit, Nikolas. I'm taking you to court to
get guardianship of your mother. Scott:
As soon as you sign over guardianship of your mother, you can get
back to talking to your aunt and -- who's he? James:
"He" is Mr. James Brosnan, a business associate of Mr.
Cassadine's. And since this is obviously a personal matter, I should
be going. Scott:
No, don't bother. This won't take long, just a signature here. Alexis:
Put it away, he's not signing anything. Scott:
Well, fine, I'll see you two in court. I've already petitioned for
guardianship. Alexis:
On what grounds? Scott:
On the -- he's not taking care of his mother. Alexis:
He has sent for specialists from all over the world to ensure his
mother gets state-of-the-art treatment. Scott:
Well, that's -- it's all useless as long as Luke comes and goes
whenever he wants. Nikolas:
Laura loves Luke, she trusts him, that's why. Scott:
He tricked her into this phony wedding and you didn't lift a finger
to stop it. Obviously you don't have your mother's best interests
at heart here. Alexis:
No judge is going to transfer Laura's guardianship from her son
over to a man she was married to decades ago. It's absurd, you're
absurd, and you're not going to win. Scott:
Sign it, or you're going to lose more than you bargained for here.
James:
I'm sympathetic to your family's difficulties, of course, but our
business deal can't wait. Alexis:
Clearly, you've had your sensitive moment for the year -- when you
stayed with my daughter. Nikolas:
Yeah, he -- he's right. We do need to get back to work, and you
need your rest, so -- Alexis:
Fine, I will go. But at some point, you and I are going to talk.
And in the meantime, I will handle Scotty Baldwin. Nikolas:
Alexis, I can hire another attorney to protect the guardianship,
ok? Alexis:
I'm perfectly capable of drafting a counter complaint. Nikolas:
Yeah, but more stress is all you need right now, so -- James:
Maybe you should let your aunt argue the case. If she passes out
during the middle of the proceedings, it may elicit sympathy from
the judge. Alexis:
I was dehydrated, that's it. Nikolas:
Concentrate on getting well, I can handle Baldwin. Alexis:
Which is the least of your problems, because when Luke finds out
that Laura made you her guardian and not him, that's not going to
be pretty, and I would be happy to run interference, I always --
all right, fine. Nikolas:
I'll let you know. Thank you. What the hell were you thinking going
to her house? James:
Why aren't you thanking me? I mean, can you imagine what would've
happened if poor little Kristina had wandered in and found her mother
lying face down on the floor? Nikolas:
Ok. This won't work for either one of us as long as you stay here.
James:
Do you have an alternative? Nikolas: I do. I have several accounts set up for your new identity. I'll have 60 million transferred by the end of the day. All you have to do is leave here for good.
