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 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. Sam:
When I find a surrogate, it won't matter if she's carrying a girl
or a boy, as long as Jason and I can look at that baby and know
that it's ours. Alexis:
Well, I have the best hopes for you, but I do sense an urgency
about this. Sam:
No, of course not. I've been wanting a family for a really long
time. You know that. Alexis:
I do. Ok, so when you go through with this, would you mind if
I could look over the contract? I know it's an emotional issue
for you, but -- but it is a business arrangement and there could
be legal loopholes. I want to make sure that all your rights are
protected. Sam:
Thank you, but Dr. Lee made it sound pretty cut-and-dry, so --
Alexis:
Just to be safe. Sam:
Gosh, you're really starting to sound like Amelia -- she wants
me to always be informed -- Alexis:
Speaking of Amelia, I wouldn't mind taking a look at the contract
that you have with her, as well, just so I can make sure all the
-- Sam:
Unfortunately, it's too late, but it doesn't matter because I
really trust her. I mean, look, she's handed me this job, this
amazing job on a silver platter. Alexis:
What does Amelia think about you wanting to become a mother? Sam:
Well, she was quite clear as long as it doesn't slow down production,
then I'm sure she doesn't care, but I do. I would give all of
this up in a second if it meant having a family with Jason. Amelia:
Uh -- you're -- Alexis:
I'm Alexis Davis. I'm Sam's mother. Amelia:
Oh. Well, nice to meet you. You have a remarkable daughter. Alexis:
Thank you. Amelia:
I -- I haven't seen her tonight. Alexis:
Oh, I've seen her. Actually, I've been waiting for you. Amelia:
How can I help? Alexis:
I'd like you to clarify your motives. Amelia:
I'm not sure I understand. Alexis:
You've come all the way here determined to make my daughter a
star. I'd like to know exactly what you stand to gain. Amelia:
I got exactly what I wanted -- a hit show. Alexis:
I'm an attorney -- I don't take much at face value. I look for
logic, and there doesn't seem to be any here. There doesn't seem
to be any reason at all that a big TV producer from Manhattan
would arbitrarily come to Port Charles to build a TV show around
an anonymous hotel clerk with a mobster boyfriend. Amelia:
I can see you don't care much for your daughter's taste in men.
Alexis:
This doesn't have anything to do with Jason. This has everything
to do with Sam, and there seems to be an angle here that I'm missing,
so far. Amelia:
It also seems that you don't think much of Sam's capabilities.
Alexis:
I didn't say that at all, Ms. Joffe. I'm simply Sam's mother,
and I'm interested in her best interest. And this is fair warning
-- I will come after you if you exploit
her in any way. Amelia: "Everyday Heroes" -- "Everyday Heroes" is my baby. Sam is the woman that I handpicked to host it. I want them both to succeed. There are no guarantees in this business, but if Sam's big break goes south, it won't be my fault, it'll be Sam's.
