Hi. Luke:
Ah, Natasha, just in time. Care for a cocktail? Alexis:
Oh, it doesn't look like there's much left. It's not a social visit.
I'm here about the guardianship, and we need to go over some of
your testimony. You ready? Luke:
Sure, let's do it. Alexis:
Good, let's do it. Ok, I got a pencil here somewhere. Tracy:
Don't sit there! Alexis:
What? Why? Luke:
It's Alan's. Alexis:
Alan's dead -- isn't he? I mean, god rest his soul. Luke:
Well, his soul is not all that restful. Tracy:
You know what? I don't have the energy to pretend, so you might
as well just know -- Alan is sitting right there in that chair even
as we speak. Luke:
I have nothing to say. Tracy:
My brother's haunting me. Alexis:
Let's do Laura's case a big favor and not bring that up in court,
shall we?
Alexis: I can't stress this enough. If a judge thinks that you're
able to converse with your dead brother, Scott is going to say that
Luke has made you as crazy as he's made Laura. Tracy:
Objection! Luke:
Now, just a minute! Jax:
My apologies for barging in. Hi, everyone. Alan:
Hi. Jax:
This is really important -- I'm sorry. Alexis:
Oh, ok. Excuse me one second. I'm sure I can come up with a number
of grounds for annulment. Jax:
Oh, no, this isn't about Carly. Alexis:
Oh. Jax:
My brother, Jerry, is in serious trouble.
Tracy: Mr. Jacks, Alexis is here to help us with our legal problems.
If you need her assistance, take a number. Alexis:
I'll be with you in a minute. He wouldn't be here if it weren't
urgent. Luke:
It's ok, you two wacky kids powwow. I'm sure the three of us can
amuse ourselves. Jax:
"Three"? Alexis:
Don't encourage this. Jax:
Excuse us. Alan:
Not a problem. Alexis:
What has Jerry done now? Jax:
I have to be careful how I word this. Alexis:
Oh, dear. Jax: What are Jerry's chances of cutting a deal if his latest escapade resulted in personal injury or death? Alexis:
In order for me to make an informed opinion about this, you would
have to give me more particulars, which you seem unwilling to do,
so let me just say this. If innocent people have died as a result
of any action that Jerry deliberately set into motion, it will be
very, very bad for him. And my advice to you as your best friend,
is for you to stay out of whatever Jerry is into. Otherwise, you
will be on trial as an accomplice. Does that help? Jax:
No, not really, but -- you know, thanks for trying. I'm sorry. Luke:
I don't need the dearly departed doctor joining forces with you
to monitor my booze intake. Tracy:
We are trying to help you. Alan:
Tracy, what is the poi? You're wasting your time. This man is his
own worst enemy, and why did you think that getting married to you,
he was going to change? Tracy:
Enough! No more disparaging remarks about my marriage! Luke:
What did he say? Tracy:
I have had it! Never mind -- Luke:
I want to know what he said about me! Alexis:
All right, all right! I'm well aware of the crazy quotient in this
house -- I was a part of it once -- but I want to remind you both
that this is a really serious matter. Scott Baldwin may get guardianship
of Laura, which would preclude you from ever seeing her again. So
I suggest you all pipe down, rein in the insanity, and focus!
Tracy: Oh, please. Alexis:
There's a long list of questions that you're going to have to answer
about your relationship with Laura. Luke:
Simple -- we fell in love, we got married, we had a couple of kids.
Alexis:
Then there are the numerous scrapes with the law, many of which
happened while you took Laura and your children on the run, and
Scott is going to bring up each and every one of those. He's going
to say that you are reckless and irresponsible. Luke:
I'm not ashamed of anything I did to protect my wife and son from
people who wanted them dead. Alexis:
Then there's your tendency for anger and violence -- which leads
me y difficult question. Did you ever force yourself on Laura? Luke:
There's no reason to go there. Alexis:
Trust me, Scott will. Tracy:
That's ancient history. Luke and Laura got past that years ago.
Alexis:
Luke's character is the core of Scott's argument, which is why he
is trying to block Nikolas's guardianship, as well as Laura's mother's,
because they are both sympathetic with him. Ancient history or not,
he knows exactly what happened all those years ago, he has every
right to bring it up, and he will. Luke:
But you're the lawyer. Stop him. Alexis: I will do everything in my power to do that, you know that. But you need to prepare yourself, because there is more than a good chance that Scott will tell the story of Laura's rape, right inside that courtroom.
