Sonny: Ellos estan a veinte Millas de la Republica Dominicana. Eso Cubre mucho territorio. No, necesito mas informacion. Ok, llamame de nuevo.
Alexis: A.J.'s gone to a great deal of trouble to cover his tracks.
Sonny: Well, you know what? I'd have Courtney home by now if Jax hadn't had me arrested, you know, to impress his girlfriend.
Alexis: Speaking of Jax, I'm filing a brief that'll stave off the wrecking ball. You'll be able to keep your warehouse.
Sonny: Why can't Jax just stick to bribing the city council instead of trying to tell me not to deal with A.J.?
Alexis: You know, in these circumstances, I happen to think Jax is right.

Sonny: You agree with Jax?
Alexis: In this instance, yes.
Sonny: Well, I'm not letting A.J. walk because candy boy tells me to. That's something I won't do, so -
Alexis: You said you trust me, right?
Sonny: Right.
Alexis: You know why you trust me?
Sonny: Why?
Alexis: Or why I think you trust me is because I always tell you the truth.
Sonny: Mm-hmm.
Alexis: And I'm giving you my opinion because I have your best interests at heart. And, ironically, so does Jax.
Sonny: You lost me there.
Alexis: We wants to protect A.J. because he's committed to Skye and I want to protect A.J. because I'm committed to you.
Sonny: Alexis, this is my decision, not yours.
Alexis: I understand. Guess I don't have to remind you that you're claustrophobic. And you can deny and downplay that as much as you want, but the fact of the matter is you spent hours in jail and it almost drove you insane. I'd hate to see what a lifetime of prison would do for you.
Sonny: I'm not going to prison.
Alexis: You will if you do anything illegal.
Sonny: Well, that depends how, you know, A.J. wants to play it.
Alexis: What if he doesn't play it to your liking?
Sonny: Well, every situation has a different solution.
Alexis: Good.
Sonny: Mm-hmm.
Alexis: You give A.J. all your power. That's a great idea. Because he's trying to goad you, he's trying to bait you, he is trying to push you and hoping that you will lose control.
Sonny: Do I look like a man who's out of control? (laughs)
Alexis: Not at this particular moment, no.
Sonny: You see, that's what lawyers do. You worry and you let your imagination cover every possible base, which is fine, because that's what I pay you to do. But not when it comes to A.J.
Alexis: You trust me, right?
Sonny: You know I do.
Alexis: Then listen to me, carefully. If you do anything illegal, I will excuse myself from the case. And I hate to burst your bubble, but you are not the Houdini of the justice system. You will go to prison. And I would hate to see that.

Sonny: I'm not going to prison. But even if I was, why would you care? I mean, you could always find somebody else to put you on retainer.
Alexis: But if you're not here, who - when I rant about any number of things, there will be no one here to talk me down. And if I have nothing to eat but popcorn in my kitchen and I'm starving to death, there won't be anyone here to whip me up a great meal that has all the food groups in it.
Sonny: Mm-hmm.
Alexis: And when it appears that life makes absolutely no sense to me and I want to talk to you, even though you never listen to anything that I ever say - (Sonny laughs) I still like talking to you.
Sonny: I'm not going to prison, so you don't have to worry about anything.
Alexis: Ok.
Sonny: You got an eyelash there. It's kind of - it was on your cheek.
Alexis: I think you're supposed to make a wish on it.
Sonny: Yeah? All right. Make a wish.
Alexis' computer chimes.
Alexis: That's the clerk. Ahem. I'm expecting an e-mail.
Sonny: (Follows Alexis, and reads the email over her shoulder. Seeing a picture of Courtney in bed) "I've got her now. Love to you both, A.J."
{ next scene }
Alexis: Maybe I can find him through his e-mail address. (presses a key and gasps) Oh, God. It's gone.
Sonny: What do you mean, "It's gone"?
Alexis: I don't know what happened! I'm sorry! Sonny - wait a minute. Sonny - oh -

There's a knock on the door.
Alexis: I'm all set.
Sonny: Looks like it. You going somewhere?
Alexis: On a business trip.
Sonny: Yeah, I decided to go and stay at the Puerto de Santos. That way I can, you know, be closer when they locate A.J. and Courtney. You look like you're dressed to go to the Caribbean, too.
Alexis: You're going to miss your plane if you don't hurry.
Sonny: Oh, the pilot will, you know - he'll leave when I tell him to leave.
Alexis: Well, I'm going to miss my plane if I don't hurry.
Sonny: Where'd you say you were going?
Alexis: I didn't.
Sonny: You going somewhere with Ned?
Ned: Los Angeles. I have some contract disputes with one of my bands.
Sonny: Contract dispute, huh?
Ned: Yeah.
Sonny: You're not going to find A.J., are you?
Ned: No.
Sonny: Nah.
Ned: No, no, Sonny. A.J. is your problem. I have a band on the brink of a walkout, so if you'll excuse us -
Sonny: Yeah, I got to discuss something with Alexis. You see, I might need her, and I just need to know if she's being honest with me. So, where are you going, Alexis? To Los Angeles or to look for A.J. and my sister? If you know where they are, you should tell me.
