Alexis:
You know what? I'm not going to waste my breath rehashing my romantic
life with you anymore. You might keep in mind that you've made a
mistake or two. Courtney springs to mind.
Nikolas:
Oh, wait -- no, no. You know what? I am so sick of your arrogance
and your hypocrisy. You talk down to everyone, all the while ignoring
your own destructive behavior, like your ridiculous marriage to
Ric Lansing, your ridiculous relationship with Sonny, your -- or
anybody else!
Alexis:
I have no idea where this is coming from. I had no idea that you
resented me this much.
Nikolas:
What I resent is you getting involved with yet another psycho and
me probably having to clean up the mess!
Alexis:
Okay, well, this conversation's over.
Nikolas:
Don't walk away from me.
Nikolas
throws a glass at Alexis as she exits the room.
Alexis:
Have you lost your mind?
Alfred:
Madam, I must ask you not to escalate.
Alexis:
You threw a glass at me.
Nikolas:
I didn't throw a glass at you. I threw a glass at the door.
Alexis:
And if I hadn't have ducked, you would've hit me right in the head.
Alfred:
I witnessed the incident as I was coming in, and it's all my fault.
Alexis:
It is not your fault, Alfred. You threw that at me deliberately!
Nikolas:
I didn't throw it at you! Why would I do that?
Nikolas:
I'll put the meeting on my calendar, thank you very much.
Alexis:
First you're patronizing, then you're abusive, and then you dismiss
me and the fact that I'm upset that you threw a glass at my head,
and then you just pick up the phone and start doing family business
as usual. Isn't it a little late in life to start living down to
the family reputation?
Nikolas:
Alexis, I love you, I love you, but I do not have to agree with
everything that you say and everything that you do, nor do I have
to apologize for something that I didn't do.
Alexis:
All right, well, you can rationalize this all you want, but the
fact is you threw a glass at me, Nikolas.
Nikolas:
I did not, for the last time, throw a glass at you!
Alexis:
Okay.
Nikolas:
Look, I apologize. I'm sorry that the both of us lost our temper.
I hate fighting with you, I always have. But you know me. I'm not
in the habit of throwing barware at people that I love, so if you
would please give me the benefit of the doubt here, that would be
great.
Alexis:
Okay. But why don't you tell me what's wrong with you first?
Nikolas:
Oh, I'm just fine. I think that you are the one who's overreacting,
and I think I know why.
Alexis:
You do?
Nikolas:
Mm-hmm.
Alexis:
Well, enlighten me.
Nikolas:
Okay. Well, I called you out on your "attraction" to Jerry
Jacks, which I still say is reckless and ill-advised. But, of course,
it is still very much in character, given your pattern of attraction
to damaged and dangerous men.
Alexis:
This doesn't have anything to do with me. You're reeling about something.
Are you drunk? Are you having problems with Emily? Are you in a
fight with Emily? Is it your brother's problems? What is it?
Nikolas:
Well, my brother's situation is sad, I'll say -- tragic, actually
-- but I'm dealing with it just fine. I'm dealing with everything
just fine.
Alexis:
Except for the concussion you nearly gave me.
Emily:
What happened?
Alexis:
My nephew just threw a glass at me. Maybe you can find out why.
Emily:
I'm so sorry that there was a misunderstanding, Alexis. I'm sure
that Nikolas feels horrible about it.
Alexis:
Okay, fine. Let's just all tell Nikolas that his behavior is perfectly
normal.
Nikolas:
I apologize if I lost my temper.
Alexis:
So for the record, I want to inform you that my relationship with
Jerry Jacks is as my client only, and I really don't want to discuss
it any more. And if that's not okay, you can always ask the children
and me to leave.
Nikolas:
All right, look, you're family and you're safer here than anywhere
else.
Alexis:
Except when glassware is being thrown at me.
Emily:
Nikolas, are you okay?
Nikolas:
Yeah, yeah, yeah. My aunt possesses many fine qualities, but she
does tend to overact, don't you agree?
Nikolas:
I've seen Alexis do this to other people before -- exaggerating,
becoming hysterical. I think it's kind of like a -- a deism for
her. If she overstates the situation, she can make the reality seem
more manageable for her, but I -- she's never done it to me.
Emily:
Yeah, well, um, everybody's been a little tense lately. You've been
on edge yourself.
Nikolas:
What's that supposed to mean?
Emily:
Georgie said that you came down pretty hard on Logan Hayes, to the
point that she was really frightened. And now Alexis claims that
you threw this glass at her?
Nikolas:
Well, I -- are you calling me a liar?
