15, 2008 Transcript Alexis: We could always send them back with a thank-you note. Diane: I was thinking more of a ritual burning. Alexis: Nobody said that we couldn't keep them. Diane: You really want to relive that night? Alexis: I kind of see them as a badge of honor. Diane: Given that neither of us made it to the "Litigator of the Year Award" ceremony -- Alexis: And that we lost to a blood-sucking Beverly Hills attorney, of all people. Diane: In a cheap knockoff. Alexis: Wasn't even this year’s. Hi there. Come on in. Ric: This scares me on some level. Diane: I'll tell you what's scary. What's scary is now both of us having to face Kate Howard and explain how we ruined not one but both of the dresses she loaned us. Alexis: We'll do it together. There's power in numbers. Diane: Do you want to do it before or after the insurance hearing on the damage and subsequent theft of the rental car? [Alexis laughs] Alexis: Yeah, well, don't forget about the fact that we're going to be sued by the airlines and that awful flight attendant. Diane: Bitch with wings. Alexis: You got it. Ric: Did you two bond or something after biker bar night? Diane: We found a form of kinship, yes. I think it really kicked in on the bus ride home. Alexis: That was nice, wasn't it? Diane: It was cold, but nice. Alexis: Not that we're still not going to go head to head in court. Diane: Absolutely. Where's the fun without the friction? Alexis: Exactly. But you'll still be our favorite ass to kick. Diane: Okay. I know a terrific dry cleaner who I think can even get this stain of -- God only knows what this stain is -- out of the camo. Alexis: Good luck. Diane: And we will go from there. Alexis: All righty. So you'll call me, then, huh? Diane: You call me. Alexis: Oh! Diane: I'll call you. [Alexis laughs] Alexis: Okay. So I made a friend. Why the long face? Ric: Well, it's nothing. Alexis: Yes, it is. You have been subdued and enigmatic since I got back. What's going on? Ric: No, I just -- I want to -- I want to -- I want to say goodbye to Kristina and Molly. Alexis: Where are you going? Ric: I, um -- I need to get away. Alexis: What have you done to Sonny? Ric: Ha. That's funny. That should be your first reaction. I guess it would be my reaction, too. It's been my life here. Pretty much everywhere. Well, some kids were born with a birthmark, I was born into hatred by my father. Alexis: Because of Sonny. Ric: Yeah. I was punished for Sonny my entire life. Hell, I couldn't do anything but hate him. Everything that I did was -- was about that hatred, and now, I finally realize that it's punishing me. So I need something new, I just don't know what. Alexis: So if you want to run off with Skye for a couple of weeks, then you should -- Ric: No, Skye’s gone. Skye left town. Alexis: Why? Ric: I don't know. I think she was done. She just needed one more -- one more push to send her packing, and I guess that was me. Alexis: I see. Ric: You know, we had started to -- started to find things that we had in common. You know, dangerous things. Self-destructive things. You know, things that I guess would cause me to act in a way that I'd have to be running from Sonny. Only problem is, you can't run from something like this. I'm kind of tired of running, you know? I just need to kind of wander off and -- and think about -- maybe even deal with this obsession for my brother before it destroys me completely. Alexis: Look, you and I haven't been very close lately but I certainly know how you operate, and there's something missing here. There's -- there's a catalyst missing. I don't know exactly what's going on with you and Skye, but you have not been together long enough for that to have this kind of effect on your mood. Ric: Look, Skye made a very profound exit. She left me with a bit of a challenge -- a chance to change my life or torpedo it to hell once and for all. Alexis: How'd she do that? Ric: She left me Lorenzo Alcazar's waterfront property. I know, I know. Huh. It's like giving aroub child a bomb to play with. Isn't it? Ric: My father wanted this property -- the piers, the warehouses, shipping lanes, all of it. So did Sonny, so did Luke, and so did Jerry. Probably should keep this to myself seeing as how I haven't signed my name to the transfer of the property. I don't know. I don't know -- I'm resisting temptation. For what, I don't know. Alexis: Are you going to be okay? Ric: I don't know. That's a big question, isn't it? Hmm, guess you're going to have to tune in tomorrow to find out what Ric Lansing does with his bomb. Alexis: Is that why you're going away? Ric: Well, I need a change. I don't know where I'm going or -- or what I'm going to do. But I had put in for a leave at work, and penciled your name in as temporary D.A. Alexis: You're giving me my job back? Ric: You're just going to have to tell them whether you want it or not. Alexis: Oh. Ric: And I'm kind of hoping that you're going to save my place for me. Scott Baldwin’s already looking to scratch my name off the door. You know what? I'm -- I'm going to check in on the girls and -- look, you got my phone number, right, if you need to contact me about them? Alexis: Okay. Ric: But I don't want to talk about business, either, you know? I don't particularly care what happens in this town and -- who knows? I might not even want to be the D.A. when I come back. Alexis: Yeah, well, we'll cross that bridge when you go. Ric: That's the big question, isn't it? It's one I haven't asked myself in a lot of years. "What does Ric want to be when he grows up?"
