12, 2007 Transcript Sam:
As you'll hear tonight, in a few minutes -- whew -- even seconds
can mean -- Alexis:
Hi. Hello. Sam:
Hi. Alexis:
Hi. Sam:
Hey, what -- what are you doing here? Alexis:
You know, it's funny -- I dropped Kristina off at school, and one
of the moms came up to me and said that she really liked "Everyday
Heroes," and how proud I must be of you. See, apparently, Kristina
must be bragging about her big sister. And so I realized that you
had this big, exciting thing going on and I seem to have missed
most of it, so here I am. Sam:
Thank you, and don't worry about it. We have both been really busy.
It's just -- Alexis:
You know what? The worst is over, so I think it's time for you to
have a mother who supports you. Sam:
Good. I mean, you know, I can always use all the support I can get.
Alexis:
You know, for someone with a very fulfilling, exciting future, you
don't seem very happy about it. Sam:
I don't know. I mean, what's -- what's that saying? "Be careful
what you wish for"? I'm a living example.
Sam: Let's have a seat. You really look so much better every
time I see you. Alexis:
Thank you. You know, now that the chemo's over, I feel much better,
and my hair is actually growing under this wig. Sam:
Oh, nice. Alexis:
It's at a certain length. I'm wondering how long I have to wait
before I can get maybe extensions put on or something. Sam:
Oh, you know what? The hairdresser that we have here is a genius.
I'll introduce you if you want. Alexis:
Great. I would love that, thank you. Sam:
Yeah. Alexis:
We should do something normal, something mother-and-daughtery, like
going on a shopping spree or something. Sam:
That would be fun. Alexis:
I would like that, actually. Sam:
Me, too. Alexis:
I'd like for you to know me when I'm on all four cylinders. And
look at you -- you're a big TV star. Sam:
Oh -- I am -- you know, I know no one's going to believe me, but
i did this, beyond everything else, because I want to help people
make their lives a little bit safer. Tomorrow we're doing this segment
on -- on fire safety and children and getting them out in time,
and if one person -- just one person watches it and it helps them,
then I -- I just think it -- it's worthwhile, you know? Alexis:
As long as you're fulfilled. What? Sam:
Ok. [Sam
sighs] Sam:
I've got babies on the brain.
Sam: I see other women with babies and I immediately feel
this pain and this anger, and i think to myself about -- about women
like Elizabeth Spencer -- why can she have something that I can't?
Alexis:
I get it, I do, I really do. After I -- I gave you up, I tried to
bury every maternal instinct that I had, but you know what? It creeps
up when you least expect it. Sam:
I understand that, but look, you're a mother, you have children,
you have a career -- that's what I want. That's it. Alexis:
Ok, Sam, then you got to figure out a way to get what you want.
So what's the problem? [Sam
sighs] Sam:
Jason. He's resistant to fertility procedures -- which is an excuse
because the truth is he's really convinced that his life is too
dangerous -- and I -- I know. I know you think the same thing --
you've told me a hundred times. Alexis:
I'm sorry, but it is true. Sam:
I just -- I don't buy it. If Jason had the chance to raise his own
child, he would move mountains to keep that boy safe. Alexis: It's interesting how you automatically assume that Jason would have a son.
