Alexis: I can see you are perfectly over this Rebecca fixation. If you'd like to go somewhere else to conduct business --

Nikolas: No, no, it's -- look, it's not as much of a shock anymore, okay? I'm getting quite used to seeing a Woman walking around with Emily’s face.

Alexis: Okay, because that's kind of funny because I thought I saw your eyeballs pop out of your head the minute you walked in here, but --

Nikolas: I'm adjusting fine.

Alexis: So you want to tell me again that you're not obsessed with Rebecca?

Nikolas: It just -- it takes a little getting used to. I'm better than I was. Give me a break.

Rebecca: Hey. Sorry you had to wait.

Alexis: No -- no, apology. We have plenty to talk about.

Rebecca: Nice to see you, Nikolas. I was starting to think that you were avoiding this place because of me.

Nikolas: No, no, no, no. I was actually just telling my aunt here how much I've enjoyed coming here since you reopened. Can't get enough of Mike's four-alarm chili, you know. Actually, I'll have that and some more coffee, please.

Alexis: I'll have the chicken Caesar salad.

Rebecca: Okay, coming right up.

Alexis: Okay, here's what I think. I think you should take a vacation. I think maybe a business trip. How about a little therapy -- not that I'm one to talk. In any case, this is not working out well for you.

Nikolas: What do you -- what do you expect from me? She walked over here, I spoke to her. I was polite. I have absolutely no problem with her.


Alexis: I've talked to Jax ad nauseum about this transaction. And you know what I would really love? If we could all just get over the hostility and just find a way to do this in a nice, amicable way. What do you think?

Nikolas: Yeah, sure. I see. I see it.

Alexis: No, you don't.


Alexis: I will find some way for you to preserve Spoon Island.

Nikolas: Oh, I'm sure you will.

Alexis: You're not even listening to anything I'm saying, are you?

Nikolas: Yes, I am. You want to try diplomacy with Jax because you don't want to lose him as a friend. And if he won't listen to reason, you'll file an injunction, even if it's just to bide time. See, I told you.

[Rebecca laughs]

Lucky: No, seriously.

Alexis: Now you're scaring me.


Alexis: I was glad when you called. I was just sitting at Kelly's watching Nikolas pretend not to be obsessed with Rebecca.

Sam: Oh, yeah, it's weird. It's very unsettling seeing someone who looks so much like Emily.

Alexis: What's more unsettling is watching Nikolas pretend that he's not obsessed with her.

Sam: Yeah, okay, I'm sorry to drag you away from that by the way, and I don't want to impose right now --

Alexis: Hey, hey, I'm your mother. It makes me happy to be able to help you.

Sam: Okay, Agent Rayner -- he has threatened to submarine my application for a P.I. license.

Alexis: Oh. What does the FBI want, anyway? Is this about Jason?

Sam: No, uh-uh, not this time. No, it's about Spinelli. They issued an APB for his arrest saying he's armed and dangerous. But that's the furthest thing from the truth, because --

Alexis: All right, I'll check into it.

Sam: He wouldn't hurt a fly. Listen, I don't want you to take the FBI on for me.

Alexis: I don't think they're treating you fairly.

Sam: I just -- I don't want you to make trouble for yourself because of me.

Alexis: I'm your mother. Nobody messes with my daughter.


Spinelli: Ironically, it is human error that most benefits the hacker, seducing the unsuspecting hackee into volunteering information.

Winnifred: Yeah, the way the priestess coerced the Jackal to confide in her when first they met.

Spinelli: 'Tis best not to use our real names, nightingale.

Winnifred: Of course. But it was my complicity in allowing my superiors to turn the man of action into a pawn that causes me copious amounts of regret.

Spinelli: The angry raptor's portals are difficult to penetrate.

Winnifred: Said regret is the reason why this bird is determined to destroy this evidence and break the metaphorical bonds that she has shackled the Jackal -- the man of action with. I say metaphorical bondage because I am not into that sort of thing, nor would I want to be.

Spinelli: I'm in.

Winnifred: Unless, of course, you absolutely --

Rayner's voice: We have strict procedures for this type of situation, and we follow them for a reason.

Winnifred: The angry raptor approaches. The Jack -- the nightingale must fly.

Spinelli: Hide before you're discovered, but mute your pda and leave it connected.

Alexis: The ends justifying the means is just power-speak for abuse of power and having no moral center.

Rayner: I didn't know you cared, D.A. Davis.

Alexis: Corruption, and I repeat, abuse of power.

Rayner: It would be nice if you had proof of that accusation.

Alexis: You're threatening to use your office to keep Sam McCall from getting a private investigators license?

Rayner: Sam McCall, your daughter. Maybe we should have that discussion about conflict of interest now.

Alexis: This plan to set up Damien Spinelli, saying he's armed and dangerous is just plain stupid.

Rayner: My agents are prepared to shoot him on sight.

Alexis: Talk about corruption.

Rayner: Make no mistake. I will bring in Damien Spinelli, even if it means bringing him in in a body bag.
