Alexis:
Jax is my best friend in the whole world. Not to mention, my ex-husband.
Jerry:
Oh, from a marriage that was never consummated.
Alexis:
Well, that's not the point.
Jerry:
Well, I mean, you're the last person I expected to worry about keeping
it in the family. I mean, Sonny and Ric are brothers, but that didn't
stop you from having a child with each one of them.
Alexis:
Must you keep drudging up my past?
Jerry:
Well, history has a way of repeating itself, doesn't it?
Alexis:
Well, it's not going to do it again, because Jax is the most functional
relationship that I've ever had with a boy, and I'm not going to
screw it up by getting involved with his deadbeat brother.
Jerry:
Oh! Oh, darling, darling -- and then name-calling. Please, I mean,
that hurts, you know? But just to tell you, I'm not as destitute
as you think I am. My employment might be unconventional, but it's
very, very lucrative, darling.
Alexis:
Your business is very, very naughty at best, and I am not going
to be a party to it.
Jerry:
Then I'm afraid I'm going to be forced to retain ms. -- Ms. Miller's
services, after all, and sue you for breach of contract.
Alexis:
Breach of contract?
Jerry:
Breach of contract. I retained you as my attorney, and now you're
refusing to provide me with adequate representation.
Alexis:
Because there is a conflict of interest.
Jerry:
But you see, this transaction needs to be dealt with the utmost
discretion. If not, I could be subject to a great deal of undue
suffering.
Alexis:
There isn't a judge on this planet that will hold me liable for
your pain.
Jerry:
Maybe not, but then we'd be tied up in deposition for hours debating
the point.
[Jerry
chuckles]
Alexis:
You wouldnt.
Jerry:
Don't underestimate just how far I'd go
to spend time with you, Alexis, darling.
Alexis:
What's the account number?
Alexis:
Hmm.
Diane:
Okay, you have two choices -- late-night supper or pole dancing.
Alexis:
We went pole dancing last night.
Diane:
You know, I knew you'd say that. Good -- we're going out to dinner.
But first -- an aperitif.
Alexis:
I cant. I've got this -- this --
Diane:
You don't seem to realize, Alexis -- this is an intervention.
Alexis:
She says holding a beer in her hand.
[Diane
chuckles]
Alexis:
I cant. I'm -- I'm up to my --
Diane:
Yes, I can see exactly what you are. What you are is sitting alone
in your office, late night, all alone, going over, what -- uh-huh,
closed case files. You remind me of my father during the last year
of his life -- just poring over the obituary columns.
Alexis:
No, really, stop with the flattery. Why aren't you toiling away,
burning the midnight oil on your star client Sonny, making sure
that he remains the powerful man that he is?
Diane:
Sonny is a bit preoccupied lately now that Kates, um -- well,
what's the district attorney's office calling it?
Alexis:
"Under investigation."
Diane:
And off the record?
Alexis:
Let's just say that I have a source -- not a particularly reliable
source. As a matter of fact, I don't remotely trust this source
at all, but it's a knowledgeable source.
Diane:
Just say "Jerry Jacks."
Alexis:
I did not say that.
Diane:
Just say it -- what did he say?
Alexis:
You said that, not me. Jerry said that Sonny and his competitors
were all vying for the same waterfront property.
Diane:
So, what, Kate is collateral damage?
Alexis:
It's a leading theory.
Diane:
I knew it. I knew I was right when I told her to run when Sonny
made that marriage proposal.
Alexis:
The heart does not always follow what logic dictates.
Diane:
Doesn't that also apply to you and your criminally minded, roguishly
attractive source? See, I knew I should give you the same advice
about Jerry Jacks that I gave to Kate about Sonny.
Alexis:
There is no comparison.
Diane:
There is every comparison. It can't -- it -- it is one thing to
help powerful men move the levers of power, it is quite another
to let your heart get involved.
Alexis:
I'm very well aware of what his motives are. I know that he's using
me, trying to use me to capitalize on the fact that he probably
saved my daughter's life. And the truth is if he hadn't been driving
by and didn't see her on the -- my sole focus is to find the maniac
who chased Sam into the oncoming traffic.
