Alexis: All right, Molly's sleeping and Kristina is right there, and there's Cameron!

Sam: Hey!

Lucky: Get her!

Alexis: Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run! Faster! You better run, Kristina! He's coming! It's a good thing she doesn't know how close she came to not having a mother. Thank you once again for the rescue. All right, look, I feel a little uncomfortable, a little anxious about leaving. This is going to be a very quick trip.

Sam: I'm here.

Lucky: Yeah, me, too. My advice is try not to be afraid. I mean, that's what this freak wants. He gets off on it. I mean, the text messages -- they're not about fair warning, they're about keeping you feeling helpless, afraid of your own shadow. Just -- you know what? Use it against him. Be prepared without being reckless. You can count on us. We're going to find the guy.

Alexis: I get that intellectually. It's just everywhere else, I'm a little shaky.

Sam: Just be careful, please.

Alexis: I will, I will. All right, so if the kids need anything, you call me.

Sam: Nothing, go. I'm here.

Alexis: All right, fine.

Sam: Go.

Alexis: Okay. All righty. I'm gone.

Sam: Huh.

Alexis: See you later.

Sam: Bye.


Alexis: Well, if Sam hadn't come along, I obviously wouldn't be sitting here right now.

Jerry: I -- I know, I know. It must have been a horrible experience for you.

Alexis: Oh, it was an eye opener.

Jerry: I really should find ways to stick closer to you. You know, to -- to ward off the shadows, that is.

Alexis: Actually, I'm here for the opposite reason, because I am taking over as D.A. while Ric is gone, temporarily. But because of that, I won't be able to take on any private clients until he's back.

Jerry: Oh, come on. Come on, does anybody really need to know if we continue our -- our relationship, so to speak?

Alexis: It would put us in an awkward position.

Jerry: Well, are there really any other kind, darling?

Alexis: If you were to do something, say --

Jerry: Naughty, illegal? Irreversible, reprehensible?

Alexis: Just to name a few.

Jerry: Yes.

Alexis: The simple solution would be for me to just -- to find someone to distract you from getting into trouble because should you get into trouble I, of course, would not able to represent you because it would be a terrible conflict of interest.

Jerry: Terrible.

Alexis: I -- um -- have to go. I have a meeting.

Jerry: Oh, but I'll -- I'll walk you over. Good.

Alexis: I can do it myself.

Jerry: No, no, no -- consider it mutually beneficial. First of all, you'll have an amazing bodyguard, and then I'll have the delightful distraction to keep out of trouble a little while longer.
