Alexis: If you wanted to have a secret meeting, did you have to pick here with all the paparazzi outside -- and I hope this is about Jax. You're going to tell me that he's fine, I hope?

Carly: Jerry knows where Jax is.

Alexis: Ok, do you have a name, do you have a continent?

Carly: I'm working on it, but I need your help -- and don't -- don't look at me like that, because I know you want Jax back almost as much as I do.

Alexis: I do, but I just really like it when you need me. What do you need?

Carly: I need you to call Jerry, have him meet you here for a drink so I can go check his room.

Man: Bourbon, rocks. Hey. Live aid, right? Porto-potty? Were you the limo on the way back to the hotel?

Alexis: I was the ride up in the elevator.

Man: Really? How was it?

Alexis: A very short trip.

Jerry: I'm so sorry to keep you waiting, darling -- ahem. I'm sorry, is there something I can help you with -- Keith?

Alexis: Bye.

Jerry: Yeah, bye-bye. I arrived in the nick of time, didn't I?

Alexis: We were reminiscing.

Jerry: Oh, you know him?

Alexis: In one of his old acid flashbacks.

Jerry: Oh, I see, that's interesting.

Alexis: I'm having trouble hearing anything in here. I didn't know it'd be so noisy.

Jerry: Well, let's go up to my room, shall we? Come on.

Alexis: This really is so unnecessary.

Jerry: After you, darling.

Alexis: Thank you.

Jerry: Sorry. This won't take long. Hello? Where are you now? Has there been any trouble? Well, keep me posted if anything changes, all right? Ok, bye. I'm sorry, it's a minor business matter.

Alexis: Don't you just hate it when that happens?

Jerry: Well, I'm used to it. Now, I have the best aperitif for us to sip while we negotiate the ins and outs of my criminal case -- where the hell is that bottle?

Alexis: Wait, stop! Stop. I think we -- we should just stop, because this is very dangerous -- the whole thing.

Jerry: What "whole thing"?


Jerry: You look upset, Alexis, what is it?

Alexis: No. I just think that this is a really bad idea. Honestly, I -- I think it will put everyone in harm's way -- you, myself, Jerry -- oh, you are Jerry. I meant Jax -- and Jane, and, you know, I -- Ric will find out about it, and -- and he'll charge us with a conspiracy.

Jerry: Well, personally, I thought it was very clever.

Alexis: Well, you don't know my ex-husband, because he's like a rabid dog. So this is the same thing as waving a raw steak in front of his face -- no, no, no. This is a -- a bad idea. Trust me, I know. So, let's go. Let's go to the party upstairs and enjoy ourselves.

Jerry: No, I mean, we're already here, we've got drinks. I won't bite you -- is that what you're afraid of, Alexis?

Alexis: I'm not afraid of anything. From a legal standpoint, I'm -- I'm saying that I think that it's not good that you and I are seen alone together.

Jerry: Well, technically speaking, if we're alone, we won't be seen.

Alexis: Oh. Well, I meant in a private way publicly -- which makes no sense at all, I know.

Jerry: Why don't you just say it out loud? Why did you come here -- to hear about Jax.

Alexis: No.

Jerry: Is that why you're here -- yes.

Alexis: No, that is not why I'm here. I came here because I wanted to ask you to dinner.

Jerry: Really?
