Alexis: Hi.

Diane: Hi.

Alexis: Okay, so why did you want to meet me here? I have an office, you know.

Diane: I did not ask you here on any legal pretext. When Sonny does arrive, I need you to convince him that the professional meltdown you suffered after you slept with him is specific only to you and not to all female attorneys.

Alexis: What? You want me to what?

Diane: Apparently you had some sort of meltdown after you and Sonny spent your one night together.

Alexis: He told you that? I did not freak out after I had a one-night stand with him. I freaked out before I had the one-night stand with him because I was so freaked out that I even wanted to.

Diane: Either way, I refuse to pay the price for your bad judgment.

Alexis: Why were you two even talking about me? You know, that makes me very uncomfortable.

Diane: The emotional collapse that you suffered has Sonny now convinced that my association with Max will have exactly the same results.

Alexis: He's so full of it. He's so full of himself. God! I'm so pissed at him. I am far more stable than you.

Diane: That's exactly what I told Sonny. Wait a minute, what?

Alexis: I am. I thought that you just slept with Max once. Is this some sort of an ongoing affair?

Diane: What are we, 12? Is this a slumber party? I don't kiss and tell.

Alexis: Yes, you do. You do it all the time. You know what? You're the one that brought this up. It's too much information. Tell Sonny to mind his own business.

Diane: Sonny has forbidden Max to be with me. And Max is so unshakably loyal that he agreed.

Alexis: What a sport. Trust me, you're better off.

Diane: Not by a long shot! I want to be with Max, and I deserve to be with somebody who is so -- so lovely and manly. So trust me, girlfriend, it is now on you. It is up to you to convince Sonny to come to his senses.

Alexis: You know Sonny is a bully and a chauvinist

Diane: That's very true.

Alexis: And I think it's unconscionable that he thinks he can order you two not to sleep with each other.

Diane: Simply because he pays my retainer, he now thinks he can dictate my love life and it's arrogant.

Alexis: And typical.

Diane: It's a violation of my civil rights and an invasion of my privacy.

Alexis: That part I agree with.

Diane: You traitor.

Alexis: I just want you to use your common sense.

Diane: You don't even know Max.

Alexis: Yes, I do -- I've known him longer than you have.

Diane: I'm sorry, but the occasional wave to someone in a hallway does not constitute a close personal relationship.

Alexis: That's not necessarily true. I can actually cite several cases --

Diane: Don't start quoting precedent to me. What kind of a person polices her friend's' love life?

Alexis: You are my new best friend. I want you to learn from my mistakes. I want you to use me -- use me as a shining example.

Diane: Just because you have admittedly made a neurotic mess of your love life does not mean that I will do the same.

Alexis: Now, I'm going to clarify something. I want to be very specific about my regrets. I do not regret my two beautiful children at all. What I regret is that I slept with their respective fathers. I mean, that was two of the worst mistakes that I ever made.

Ric: Is that so?

Diane: No, it's worse.

Alexis: We're having girl talk.

Diane: And while I always appreciate Alexis' wisdom, even when she's wrong -- why are you here, Mr. Lansing?

Ric: Where's Sonny?

Diane: My client is not on the premises, but I'll be certain to tell him that you stopped by.

Ric: I should probably inform both of you, since you're going to hear it from somebody else. I'm representing Anthony Zacchara.

Alexis: Tell me this is a bad joke.

Ric: No, not at all. As a matter of fact, I've been granted a hearing where I will petition to have Mr. Zacchara released from custody.

Diane: Once again, Mr. Lansing, you have made an exceptionally poor choice in clients.

Ric: This is from the woman who represents Sonny Corinthos.

Alexis: Anthony Zacchara ran a sword through you, Ric. What on earth possessed you --

Ric: Look how many times -- we're all lawyers here. How many times have we represented clients who we thought were undeserving?

Sonny: Who's undeserving? Did I call a meeting? I don't know what's going on here.

Ric: I'm just informing Alexis and Diane that I'm now representing Anthony Zacchara.

Sonny: Well, he's paralyzed and insane, so you could probably double bill him --

Ric: My client has been granted a hearing, and I fully expect him to be released soon.

Sonny: I you know what you're doing. You -- you want revenge against Trevor, so you're going to let Anthony out of the hospital. That way, he can go after your father.

Ric: I'm sure you could come up with a laundry list of motives, but the fact remains I'm still representing him.

Alexis: I think you should reconsider.

Sonny: Well, he's not going to -- he's not going to say anything right now, right, Ric?

Ric: I just thought I'd give you the professional courtesy of letting you know. See you.

Sonny: Can you stop him?

Alexis: If you stop talking about me behind my back, I will give it my full attention.

Sonny: You do that. Because if Anthony is freed, things are going to get even uglier around here.
