Alexis: Just stay right there. I'll get it. It's all the way under --

Agent Rayner: You don't seem to grasp the delicacy of your own situation, D.A. Davis. I could call you as a material witness in either case, whether the defendant was Corinthos or Spinelli. I mean, if I were the district attorney, I wouldn't want my name associated in a public forum with the very criminals I've been entrusted to take off the street, unless, of course, you plan to deny your various associations with the Corinthos/Morgan gang.

Alexis: Well, see, that just shows you that you're at a disadvantage not coming from Port Charles, because everyone in Port Charles knows everything about everybody. They all know I slept with Sonny already. They know everyone else I slept with. They know everyone Sonny slept with, too, even Jason. In fact, my daughter was living with him. So, go ahead, pal, take your best shot, because there's nothing you can say to mortify me.

Agent Rayner: Well, you may be indestructible, Madame D.A., but I assure you that Damian Spinelli is not. Make certain that your daughter knows the bureau has no intention of backing off. The longer Spinelli stays in hiding, the easier it is for us. We'll throw the book at him. By the time we're through with that kid, he'll be facing a sentence that will take him well into old age. What was that?


Agent Rayner: You didn't hear that?

Alexis: What?

Agent Rayner: That noise.

Alexis: No, I didn't.

Agent Rayner: What?

Alexis: All right, it was something I ate, okay? And I don't think it's very gentlemanly of you to point that out. Nor is it gentlemanly of you to distract me from the point that I was making.

Agent Rayner: I didn't realize you were making one.

Alexis: Well, I was. And the point is that you're obviously here for some agenda and to uphold this macho image, but you also took an oath to uphold the law, not twist it into your own version. Now, Spinelli enjoys the presumption of innocence until proven otherwise by a judge and a jury. And to use your color of authority to derail my daughter from a job or try to publicly expose me to force your own agenda, well, it's just not worthy of that badge.

Agent Rayner: If you're through scolding me, I'd be happy to see you out.

Alexis: You lay off my daughter.

Agent Rayner: A word of advice. Stay out of my way. I was sent here to accomplish a mission, and I have every intention of doing so by whatever means necessary.

Alexis: Well, you, sir, are no gentleman, and I am no lady. So, here's what we're going to do. You are going to walk me outside to my car and we are going to talk about this for, say, 10 minutes or I'm going to go to Commissioner Scorpio and I'm going to make sure that his team does not cooperate with you without a subpoena. That's not going to derail it, but it will sure as hell be a pain in the ass for you. 10 minutes.

Agent Rayner: I'll give you 10 minutes in the conference room, after which you will leave or I will carry you out myself.

Alexis: 10.

Agent Rayner: 10 minutes.

Spinelli: Priestess?
