Diane: First of all, there is no such thing as a "person of interest." You are either a suspect or you are not. So the district attorney has no right to demand that you talk with her.

Jason: Yeah -- I think Alexis wants to discuss Sam’s hit-and-run.

Diane: Tell me it wasn't you.

Jason: It was Monica.

Diane: Dr. Monica Quartermaine hit Sam and then just drove away?

[Jason sighs]

Jason: Yes. She -- she was drunk. Spinelli found the accident footage on some surveillance --

Diane: Oh -- I don't need to know about that. What I do need to know is how Alexis found out.

Jason: Well, Monica got into another drunk-driving accident. She went to the hospital and they called the cops.

Diane: The district attorney would not be wasting her time questioning you about your mother's drunk driving -- unless she intended on using it as a leverage against you for something else.


Jason: I -- I want you to represent Monica, okay? I want you to make sure you do whatever it takes. I don't want -- I don't want her going to jail.

Diane: Defending you and Sonny is one thing. Drunk drivers are quite another.

Jason: Okay, she promised me that she was going to get help.

Diane: Okay. Yeah, let me see. Um -- she's hit rock bottom. She's had enough. She plans on turning her life around -- etc., etc., etc. Drunk drivers say that all the time and sometimes it's even true. But in this case, if it's not, then maybe a tough sentence is exactly what your mother needs.

Jason: No, no, no. She did not start drinking heavily until Alan died.

Diane: That was not your fault. Jason, what if next time, she hits a child?

Jason: I -- I just told you she was going into rehab, Diane.

Diane: Drunks say that, too.

Jason: Trust me, she has no choice!

Diane: Oh. Or you will turn her in? Okay, well, that's very commendable on your part.

Alexis: Why did you call your lawyer?

Diane: To protect his fifth amendment rights.

Alexis: I'm not talking to you. No, I was talking to him.

Diane: Oh, ho!

Alexis: These are informal questions.

Diane: Oh, now you're insulting all of us.

Alexis: Do you know that she's wasting your time?

Diane: My client has no comment.

Alexis: Are you trying to be difficult?

Diane: I am doing my job, which you are also welcome to do by admitting that this attempt to circumvent the law has failed utterly and beating a tactful but hasty retreat!


Alexis: Hi, Monica.

Monica: Hello.

Alexis: You said you wanted to see me?

Nadine: Ah. I'll get out of your way.

Monica: No -- would you stay? I -- I might need a witness.

Alexis: You mentioned that this was about Sam’s hit-and-run accident?

Monica: Yes, actually, something I should've come forward with a long time ago.

Diane: Hello, ladies. This conversation is now over. Dr. Quartermaine, not another word. Ms. Davis, my client has suffered blunt force trauma to the head, she is heavily medicated, and is therefore not responsible for anything she may or may not have told you.

Alexis: Why did you hire Diane?

Diane: Don't answer that. Jason Morgan has hired me --

Alexis: Why -

Diane: On his mother's behalf.

Alexis: You did this, didn't you? You're the driver who hit Sam?

Diane: Well -- well, now, there's a leap.

Alexis: Were you drinking?

Diane: Don't answer that. Dr. Quartermaine needs her rest, I believe, doesn't she, Nurse?

Alexis: How long have you known about this?

Diane: What is "this"? You have to be more specific.

Alexis: It's called "obstructing justice."

Diane: There's no obstruction of justice. You don't have a shred of evidence.
