Download scenes here

Alexis: Oh --

Bobbie: Oh, hey, Alexis. You know what? I just agreed to pick up another shift, and I was going to put Spencer in daycare.

Alexis: Then you don't -- you didn't hear anything?

Bobbie: Well, if you're talking about the fact that the hospital is chronically understaffed with nurses --

Alexis: Nikolas collapsed.

Bobbie: Oh, God.

Alexis: Uh -- I -- I would've called everyone. It's just there's so much going on here that I didn't have a chance yet.

Bobbie: The tumor?

Alexis: Yeah.

Bobbie: I don't understand it. I mean, they've been wanting to do that surgery for weeks.

Alexis: No, that's what we're --

Bobbie: Why would he keep putting that off?

Alexis: We were arguing about that right before he collapsed. Hey, Spence, come here, honey. Come here, sweet pea. Why don't you sit over here, okay? You want to color? That's a good place to color.

Bobbie: Take your crayons, babe.

Alexis: Okay?

Bobbie: Here you go.

Alexis: Here you go, babe. There -- oh, there you go. You pick them up, huh? There you go.

Bobbie: So what possible reason could he have for not wanting to save his own life?

Alexis: I don't know if it's an effect of the tumor, I don't know if it's because he's still grieving, but he is so fixated on Emily that it's almost unnatural.

Bobbie: Did he say he wanted to die?

Alexis: Not in so many words.

Bobbie: Whew. Well, you know what? I think he's lucky you were with him, trying to talk some sense into him when he collapsed. Because what if he'd been with Spencer, what if he'd been alone?

Alexis: I -- truthfully, it's a good idea that you brought Spencer here, because if Nikolas can -- can see him or -- or have a sense that he's around, maybe he'll realize that Spencer needs him here to take care of him and to love him.


Lucky: Alexis? What is it?

Alexis: Your brother collapsed. I took him to the hospital.

Lucky: Listen, I'm already here. How bad?

Alexis: He's in surgery right now, I'm just waiting.

Lucky: Okay, thanks for calling. Listen, I got to go. I'll see you later.


Alexis: "And then big bear said to little bear --"

Ian: Sometimes being a patient just sucks.

Sam: I guess so.

Alexis: Okay! Hey, hey -- little ears.

Sam: Oh -- hey, Mom.

Ian: Uh -- my apologies. You recalcitrant daughter needs to be a little more aggressive in her rehab.

Sam: What's going on?

Alexis: Bobbie was called back on duty -- she was going to drop Spencer over at daycare.

Sam: No, no, no, no, no, no. I mean, why are you here?

Alexis: Nikolas and I were having a little bit of an argument as to why he's postponing his surgery.

Ian: He has his reasons -- people always do.

Alexis: Okay, so then he collapses, and now he's in surgery.

Elizabeth: Nikolas?

Sam: Well, that would explain why Lucky took off in such a hurry.

Alexis: You were there when I called?

Sam: Yeah, we were talking about the hit-and-run and the new leads he's following.
