Alexis: Sam, you still there?

Sam: I thought you went home.

Alexis: I did. I mean, I almost did. I realized I left my P.D.A. here somewhere. Have you seen it?

Sam: Oh, ok. Let me help you look for it. Well, you were sitting over here, so --

Alexis: You going to drink this now, by yourself?

Sam: I thought about it, I did. I was going to, but you know what? I said, "I am tired of feeling sorry for myself."

Alexis: Sam? He's going to be ok, all right? Jason is going to be all right. He's got a good attorney. Diane is perfectly capable of handling this. Sit. Sit, sit, sit. Talk about it. It's not often that a mother of a grown child gets to feel useful.

Sam: Ok. Ok, fine. Even if -- if Jason does beat the murder charges, I don't think he's coming back to me, and I don't know if I'd want him if he did.


Alexis: I know that it's been a struggle with you and Jason -- for the past few months in particular. I mean, you have Amelia -- she's drudging up your background and making your life difficult -- that -- that can't help. Jason's in Pentonville, it completely cuts off your communication. You two believe in each other. If you keeping doing --

Sam: We don't. We don't -- that's the thing. There's too many lies, too many secrets. Jason, of course, had his lies and his secrets, and I had my secrets, and we just don't trust each other anymore.

Alexis: Well, but there's always an opportunity to make something right again.

Sam: Ok, fine, but why does it have to be me that has to make it right when Jason is the one who has the biggest secret of all?

Alexis: Do you think that Jason caused you pain on purpose?

Sam: Whatever he meant, it feels like a knife in my heart. And I can make all the excuses in the world, but I hate the fact that Jason has ruined everything that was wonderful between us.


Alexis: If what you're telling me is that you think that your relationship with Jason has run its course, then I'm sorry. I honestly know how disappointing that is for you, because it's very disappointing to have a vision for the future and how you think your life is going to be with that person and it doesn't turn out that way. Sam, if that's how you feel, then my only advice to you is to get out of it as gracefully as possible, and sooner is better than later.

Sam: Right. Right, because it -- it -- I mean, it won't hurt any less, it'll just be over with sooner.

Alexis: You just are making it very clear that you and Jason seem to have failed each other somewhere. And if you're ready to do this, Sam, do it, because if you're going to hang on beyond that point, it will get ugly.

Sam: I hate that love wasn't enough. I do, and that it was just one more bad decision.

Alexis: Why are you being so hard on yourself? Do you think no one else has ever done this? Do you know how many women would do the same thing that you did? I mean, Jason -- he's difficult to resist. He's handsome, he's charismatic, he's strong, he's unpredictable, he's dangerous, he's a bad boy. And even though you want him to change, you hope that he does it for you. But you also know that he won't, because the signs are all over the place, and you ignore them --

Sam: I think I -- I get the feeling that we've changed the subject on to you.
