• Ric Lansing : I'm just doing what the people of this town paid me to do.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : Then the people deserve a refund.

• Carly Corinthos : OK. I'm down here. It's your turn.come on.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : Oh, boy.

  Carly Corinthos : Come on, Alexis. You have always thought you were better than me. Now's your change to prove it.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : I never said I was better than you, just smarter and classier. You're clearly a better athlete, and you have much better survival instincts. Kind of like a cockroach.

• Alexis Davis Cassadine : I want you to come with me.

  Samantha McCall : No, I don't understand. Please don't.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : I want you to see her. I want you to see Kristina.

  Samantha McCall : Alexis, I understand how sick she is.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : I want you to see her lying in her bed. I want you to see how pale she is. I want you to see that her chest is barely moving. I want you to see that she's dying and that you can save her but you won't.

  Samantha McCall : Don't say that. Please don't talk...

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : Please don't make you see what you're doing? Because you're letting her die. You're going to let her heart stop beating, you're going to let her slip way, and you're going to stand there and you're going to do nothing. Where's you're compassion? For God's sake. Where's your humanity? How are you going to be able to live with yourself knowing that you could have saved her life and you didn't? I want you to look at her because I can't make you induce labor, but I can by God make you see the price of your selfishness because it's easy to ignore death when it's not staring you in the face. When it's down the hall in some corridor, when it's someone else's child. I want you to look at my daughter!

  Samantha McCall : OK, I will do it!

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : I want you to see what you've done! If she dies it's on your head!

  Samantha McCall : I will induce my labor for you! OK?

• Alexis Davis Cassadine : What?

  Sonny Corinthos : The buttons are straight, the jacket looks really nice, but the hair is kind of - what were you guys doing? You guys rolling around in Ric's office?

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : Of course not.

  Sonny Corinthos : Or maybe on the desk? Were you guys doing it on the desk? May be a little uncomfortable.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : Don't be ridiculous.

  Sonny Corinthos : Well, I mean, it's not uncomfortable? You like doing it on the desk? Well, it makes sense because, you know, you and Ric are working all the time, so on the desk - you know what I mean?

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : How much longer is this going to go on?

  Sonny Corinthos : Uh, not too long. Your earring. I think you're missing an earring. You might've left it in Ric's office. Maybe in the broom closet? Or in the back seat of his car?

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : Maybe.

  Sonny Corinthos : Maybe?

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : Maybe.

  Sonny Corinthos : Right.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : Or maybe it's on the sofa or the patio. It could be in the bedroom. But we kind of find that boring. And if it's not in the apartment, then it could be in the elevator. Any number of elevators, all over town.

  Sonny Corinthos : Whew. Wow.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : Your brother is gifted.

  Sonny Corinthos : Hmm.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : More than you could ever imagine. He satisfies me - no, he rocks me, body and soul, on every level, like no man that I have ever known.

  Ric Lansing : Was good for me, too.

• Ric Lansing : I heard there was a problem with Sam?

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : She's in surgery, both she and her baby are at risk.

  Ric Lansing : What happened?

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : I'm not even sure.

  Ric Lansing : Were you with her?

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : I went to the Chapel to ask her, to beg her to reconsider. I told her that she was Kristina's only hope, and then I pleaded with her to give the stem cells. Mother to mother.

  Ric Lansing : What did she say?

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : She said she couldn't do it, and I got so upset. I don't know what I did. I just pushed her. I pushed her and pushed her. And then - then she agreed and then she fell down in pain.

  Ric Lansing : What if Sam's baby dies? Can she still save Kristina?

• Alexis Davis Cassadine : Any word yet on Sam's baby?

  Ric Lansing : They had to perform an emergency c-section. The baby didn't survive.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : Oh, my God.

  Ric Lansing : Look, I know that Sonny's gong through hell right now. I now he would ever tell me that. Alexis, I spoke with Dr. Webber and he told me that you didn't cause any of it. He also told me that the stem cells would still be viable even if Sam's baby dies.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : How do I bring myself to ask her?

  Ric Lansing : I know, I know. Look, she's not going to be able to make an informed decision at this point. So you are going to have to be the one to ask for Sonny's permission.

• Skye Quartermaine Jacks : Tell me something, Ric - how do you sleep at night?

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : Done worse, slept better.

• Alexis Davis Cassadine : Look, Lorenzo Alcazar was out for blood. Hey, he stated in front of a room full of police officers that he was going to exact revenge on Mary Bishop for Sage's death, and because of you, he now knows that if this goes to trial, she would probably be found not guilty because of reason of insanity.

  Ric Lansing : Right.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : He's not going to let it go unpunished. He has all the money in the world, he has God knows how many hit men on his payroll. Do you honestly think it's so hard to believe that he would get someone to give her the wrong medication when he was conveniently out of town.

  Ric Lansing : Ok, It's plausible argument, I'll give you that. But I can't help suspecting that this takes the pressure off your nephew and his fiancee and conveniently places the blame on a man that you can't stand - a man, incidentally, who's the brother of another man that you hated and just happened to kill.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : Must you always throw that in my face?

• Helena Cassadine : You think you can stop me, Natasha, the coward? You watch me kill your mother.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : I was just a little girl then.

  Helena Cassadine : You were pathetic.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : I'm not a little girl now and I'm going to be damned if I'm going to sit and watch you butcher anybody else again.

  Helena Cassadine : Oh, you are damned, Natasha. You were damned the moment you were born, and your mother was damned the instant that she set sights on my husband. You're doomed to watch history repeat it's self.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : History is not going to repeat itself because you are going to be stopped now. I'm going to make you pay now for what you did to my mother.

  Helena Cassadine : Oh, your mother deserved it.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : My mother deserved to me loved, and my mother was loved my your husband.

  Helena Cassadine : Oh, how dare you. How dare you! Mikkos was my husband. He had me!

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : Mikkos hated you.

  Helena Cassadine : Oh, he despised you. Your presence in our home was intolerable.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : Mikkos hated you, Helena, everybody hates you, Helena. Nobody will love you.

• Sonny Corinthos : Alexis, you're scared. I'm scared. But Sam has a right to protect her child.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : Since when you care about anybody's rights but your own? Make her! You can make her! You can pressure her into inducing labor! You can do it, or you can get Jason to do it! If all of the sudden, at the last minute you have suddenly developed a conscience...

  Sonny Corinthos : You want me to bully a pregnant woman?

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : I want my baby to live! I do! I don't mean to beg you and ask you to ask another woman to risk her baby for mine. But if the situation were reversed, If Kristina were drowning, Sam would - would save her, she would. She wouldn't stop to think about what it would do to her baby. She'd dive in and pull her out. That's all she needs to do. She just has to dive in and pull my baby out! If she doesn't do it, she's going to die. Sonny, please.

  Sonny Corinthos : Now, listen to me, OK? Sam made the best decision she could for her child's life. I can't - I can't fight her on that. I can't. We will find another way to save Kristina. I promise you.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : Don't lie to yourself. If she doesn't get those stem-cells, she going to die.

• Carly Corinthos : You know that I wish you had never spoken to me in that evaluator? You told me the one thing that I never really needed to know and I have dreaded this day ever since.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : So have I.

  Carly Corinthos : I could have told Sonny. I could have told him right after the fire. I could have told him so many other times when I thought he would understand, but I didn't. I didn't because of you. Because you begged me. You bullied me, you threatened me. And maybe somehow I thought it could stay a secret. Hey, I should have known better. God, I should have known better. I'm telling Sonny. He needs to know he's Kristina's father.

• Carly Corinthos : He is going to do everything he can to help that little girl.

  Ric Lansing : The only thing I am concerned with is the welfare of that child. Custody issues can wait.

  Carly Corinthos : Oh, I get it. I see. So Sonny's going to be allowed to help save Kristina's life, but There's no way you're going to let him be anywhere near her?

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : Can we not talk about this now? Can we just - just try to be reasonable?

  Carly Corinthos : Reasonable, right. Right, reasonable is Alexis-speak for do it my way or else. You thought it was reasonable to deceive Sonny, and then I had to be reasonable and keep your little secret. Well, your little secret is out Alexis. You do not get to decide what's reasonable anymore.

• Alexis Davis Cassadine : I'm hoping that you will find it in your heart to help me. If the time comes, you can help Sonny understand that - that my daughter belongs with me.

  Carly Corinthos : OK, Alexis, you don't get it. Will you listen to yourself? The lies are over, sky's falling, and we're all going to have to deal with it.

• Alexis Davis Cassadine : You convinced me to need you, and I do. So you don't back out on me now.

  Ric Lansing : I'm not going anywhere.

• Alexis Davis Cassadine : He's going to be grieving for the rest of his life. What happened to him is awful. You never stop grieving for a lost child. There is no good time to do this. But it was to be done, because if you don't do it today, he will be in court tomorrow and he will lie and he will pay off a judge and get away with it like he always does, and Kristina will be living in his bulletproof castle. Just do it and get it over with.

  Ric Lansing : I just want you to be sure.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : I am sure that Sonny is dangerous. I am sure that I don't want my daughter to be a casualty, and I am sure that you can stop that from happening with the evidence that you have.

  Ric Lansing : All right, on any other day, we wouldn't even be debating this, but Sonny just buried his child, and Kristina is alive because he allowed the doctors to give that baby's stem cells to Kristina.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : You don't think I know that? You don't think that I would do anything not to have to do this to him? Almost anything, because I won't give up my daughter's safety.

  Ric Lansing : Obviously, I don't want Kristina to suffer, either.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : Then you know what you have to do, and you don't just do it for Kristina, you do it because that's your job. You're the D.A., and it's unethical to suppress evidence, even when it implicates your brother.

• Carly Corinthos : Alexis, Hey.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : I'm certainly surprised to hear from you.

  Carly Corinthos : Yeah, well, not as surprised as I was to be making the call, but I need your help. Listen, Sonny is trying to get a restraining order filed against me to keep me away from my kids and I need you to fight him in court.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : Your asking me to represent you?

  Carly Corinthos : Yes.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : No.

  Carly Corinthos : Alexis, would you really want Sonny raising your daughter?

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : No, but I wouldn't want you raising her, either. If you and Sonny are getting divorced - again - find somebody else to represent you. Leave me out of it.

• Dr. Cameron Lewis : Alexis, thanks for coming.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : Did you find Zander?

  Dr. Cameron Lewis : I want you to take his case.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : You know I can't do that. It's a conflict of interest.

  Dr. Cameron Lewis : Alexis, he's been shot. He's in the basement of this hotel with a loaded gun.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : Then go down there and help him.

  Dr. Cameron Lewis : I've done all he'll allow. If somebody doesn't talk him down, he'll probably be killed resisting arrest. Alexis, I can't help my son. Maybe you can.

• Alexis Davis Cassadine : The cable's breaking.

  Carly Corinthos : OK. OK, we still have some time. All right, if we - if we can get to the next floor, then maybe we can just...

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : What do you want me to do?

  Carly Corinthos : Try and get out of here and - before the cables snap.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : What do you want me to do?

  Carly Corinthos : Do you know anything about hot-wiring an elevator?

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : OK, I'm a logical person, so I'm sure that there's a logical pattern to the way this is wired, so let's see.

  Carly Corinthos : Too bad it's not voice-activated. You could then lecture us out of here.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : I'm surprised you don't know how to hot-wire an elevator.

• Alexis Davis Cassadine : I don't know if it's ironic symmetry or just a cosmic joke that I should be spending what could be the last moments of my life with you.

  Carly Corinthos : Would you just quite yapping?

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : I don't think confronting my mortality should be considered yapping.

• Helena Cassadine : I want you to kill Edward Quartermaine.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : You'll have to kill me first. If you as so much as enter General Hospital, let alone the I. C. U. I will have you arrested for attempted murder.

  Mitchell Coleman : Chill. I'm not going to kill anybody. I'm a lover not a fighter.

  Helena Cassadine : You don't belong here.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : You are so predictable. As soon as there's death and destruction, there you are in the middle of it, foaming at the mouth.

  Helena Cassadine : It's call revenge. Edward Quartermaine practically murdered my grandson.

• Alexis Davis Cassadine : The issue in question here is Faith's innocence or guilt, not my romantic life.

  Ric Lansing : Well, if that's what you can call it. You seem to express attraction like some sort of 9-year-old school girl, picking fights and throwing insults around. What happens when you reach your crescendo? Do you punch the object of your affection in the arm?

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : Clearly, you're defensive about your impotence in the court room.

  Ric Lansing : Oh.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : Otherwise, you wouldn't be overcompensating...

  Ric Lansing : I see.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : By making personal attacks on me.

  Ric Lansing : Here come the insults, right on cue.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : That's right.

  Ric Lansing : Alexis, if you want to ask me out for a drink, why don't you just come right out like a big girl and ask me instead of resorting to school-yard tactics?

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : I would rather die of thirst than ever have a drink with you.

• Alexis Davis Cassadine : You were trained from birth to take over the Cassadine empire. My brother raised you, and he loved you, Nikolas, beyond all reason. Unfortunately, he died. Your mother is Laura. She left you in Greece when you were very young.

  Nikolas Cassidine : How did I end up here?

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : Obligation. You made friends here, Nikolas. You made good friends, they were your own age. And you had never had that experience before.

  Nikolas Cassidine : Was I happy?

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : I think so - for a Cassadine. The Cassadine's have never been accused of looking at the bright side of things. You were kind, you were generous, you were loyal. You wanted to replace the Cassadine insanity with reason. You were our soul, our conscience.

  Nikolas Cassidine : Like - like Emily is for the Quartermaines.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : In a way, yes.

  Nikolas Cassidine : Yeah. I think I'm beginning to realize why we fell in love.

• Alexis Davis Cassadine : You were right. Sonny lied. He bought the inmate's confession. He perjured himself. He manipulated the system and he manipulated me. It's not the first time. But it's going to be the last.

  Ric Lansing : What are you saying?

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : I want to help you take Sonny down for good.

• Carly Corinthos : I am suggesting you use whatever influence you have over Ric to keep him from charging Sonny with perjury. Because the day he files those charges is the day that I tell the world that Sonny is Kirstina's father.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : Sonny lied to me, he lied to the court. He made a fool out of everyone so his little pregnant girlfriend can skate on a murder charge. He thinks that he's above the law. He's not. And once he's in Prison, he will have a very difficult time of getting custody of anybody's baby. Go ahead, tell him.

• Alexis Davis Cassadine : I guess really what I want to know is, is what on earth entitles you to ask a favor of me after you lied to my face, induced me to suborn perjury all in the name of your pregnant little girlfriend? I mean, it begs the question why you would ask me a favor, right?

  Sonny Corinthos : Mm-Hmm

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : Because the truth is I am fresh out of favors for you.

  Sonny Corinthos : Mm-Hmm

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : The truth is, is that I am sick to death of you, Corinthos. I am sick of your self-importance and your sense of entitlement to do whatever you want to anybody you please whenever you choose because you think the world owes you a big, fat favor. You aren't any better than anybody else. You aren't any more special than anybody else. And if you happen to break one law too many and D. A. Lansing happens to find out about it and catch you, good for him.

  Sonny Corinthos : Should I take that as a no, or...

  Ric Lansing : You know, why don't you do us all a favor, Sonny, and just admit that you gave the order to blow up that ship and kill Faith Rosco?

  Faith Rosco : Oh, get your filthy hands off me! I didn't do anything!

  Lucky Spencer : Stop - look what I found.

• Alexis Davis Cassadine : Most district attorneys would opt to prevent a murder, instead of waiting for the murder to occur so they could arrest the perpetrator.

  Ric Lansing : Really? And you would have handled it differently.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : I would have had the police on board the yacht before it docked.

  Ric Lansing : Of course.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : Jax told you Faith shot him. You had plenty of evidence to arrest her.

  Ric Lansing : Well, maybe that's why I had officers on the scene - to make sure that she wouldn't be harmed.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : What if there had been another ship in the vicinity? Innocent people could have - could have been killed when that yacht exploded.

  Ric Lansing : There is no way that I could have known that Faith was going to sabotage the yacht.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : You knew she was psychotic. You took an unacceptable risk.

  Ric Lansing : All right, you know what? Here we are, right on schedule. For five minutes, you actually might have felt something for me. And that is just intolerable isn't it, Alexis, huh? Time to rebuild those walls.convince yourself that you don't want me to get close. That way, you can assure yourself that you were right all along. Right? I'm a repugnant, intolerable - what - what is the last one that you like to use? Complete waste of skin.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : You put innocent people at risk when you bend the law to suit your own purposes. How many people who get close to you run the risk of being used in your campaign against your brother?

• Ric Lansing : Dinner and Dancing?

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : Never again.

  Ric Lansing : Oh, come on, it was just a suggestion.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : So was a cruise on the Titanic.

• Alexis Davis Cassadine : I have no personal fondness for Faith, but she is a human being. Do you have any ability to comprehend that at all?

  Sonny Corinthos : When someone targets me and my family? Absolutely not.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : You're a monster.

• Faith Rosco : Tell me again why I should take the plea.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : So a jury doesn't hear Jax testify that you abducted and shot him.

  Faith Rosco : I shot him in the leg. I didn't do any permanent damage. He should thank me.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : A jury won't hear it that way, I promise.

  Faith Rosco : Why not?

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : Because juries aren't usually made up of criminally insane sociopaths.

  Faith Rosco : Hmm. Just checking. Fine. I'll take the plea.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : Good choice.

  Faith Rosco : To aggravated assault. Right? I get sentenced to seven to ten, and I get two, right?

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : I'll do my best.

• Alexis Davis Cassadine : Ten years in real time.

  Faith Rosco : You promised me two years.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : I promised you to do the best that I couuld.

  Faith Rosco : I wouldn've done better in front of a jury.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : No, I don't think you would have.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : You are a liar. OK? You did this to me on purpose, right? you set me up! You wanted me conviceted to pay me back for shooting jax. You lying bitch! My God, do you know - This was a set up from the start, wasn't it? The three of you want me to disapear.

  Justice Ward : It's all right Faith.

  Faith Rosco : No, no, no, no. But I will not diseappear. I will come back, and I will hunt you down, all three of you!

  Justice Ward : Faith don't say another word!

  Faith Rosco : My God, I will make you beg for mercy. You will ask me, and I will give you more pain than you ever imagined. I will take the ones you love and I will make it so you never, never see them again.

• Alexis Davis Cassadine : My mother and father met when Mikkos was still married to Helena, and they fell in love. Mikkos was as in love as any Cassadine man is capable of being - present company excluded, of course. He wanted to marry my mother. He asked Helena for a divorce. She, of course, denied it and placed a curse on them instead.

  Emily Quartermaine : Then what happened?

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : My mother started having mysterious accidents. She started having illnesses that no one could explain. She was a very strong and independent woman who just suddenly lost her spirit. She was even afraid to leave the house. So Mikkos took her away. He took her to Europe, and she came back and it was as if nothing had ever happened, she was fine.

  Nikolas Cassidine : So you think Mikkos did something to lift the curse?

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : He did something. He went somewhere, talked to somebody - whatever it was, it went away.

  Ric Lansing : But the curse was eradicated and your mother was fine.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : She was fine until Helena...

  Ric Lansing : Until Helena what?

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : The curse didn't produce the results that Helena wanted. So she took matters into her own hands - literally - and she slit my mother's throat.

• Alexis Davis Cassadine : I know what you're doing to Emily - Exactly what you tired to do to my mother.

  Helena Cassadine : Your mother was a gaudy bauble, something to be purchased for amusement and then tossed away.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : Sadly for you, my father was in love with her. That broke the curse.

  Helena Cassadine : And they couldn't stop me, could they? Neither could you.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : Nope, not that time. Emily won't end up like my mother.

  Helena Cassadine : Oh?

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : Even if I have to kill you myself.

  Helena Cassadine : Your ridiculous threats are as empty and as meaningless as your life, Natasha. Now, you know better than to stand against me. You're wasting my time.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : Not that you have much left.

  Helena Cassadine : You silly little mouse. I made you an orphan, remember? Now, would you like me to do the same for your precious little Kirstina?

• Alexis Davis Cassadine : You need to get a job, Carly. You need to take up knitting, you know, run a marathon, volunteer at the kid's school. Just stop obsessing.

  Carly Corinthos : Hey, don't change the subject.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : You are the subject. You've whittled your life away to just this one little, narrow focus which happens to be your ex-husband. He's already the center of his own universe. Don't make him the center of yours.

• James Craig : Well, Ms. Davis, I have to question the judgment of a woman who goes from a round of chemo directly to the woods in the middle of an island to pick wild flowers with her daughter.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : My daughter had a school project.

  James Craig : All right, well, at least the trip wasn't completely wasted - She could've put flowers on your grave.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : What a lovely sentiment.

  James Craig : Well, it could very well have been reality. Are you always so reckless?

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : Are you always so rude?
