18, 2009 Transcript Rebecca: I'd always wanted to go to Greece, Alexis. One year my mom had one of those scenic wall calendars, you know, above the washer and dryer. Two of the months had photos of Greece, and I'd just look at them when I was folding laundry, just sort of daydreaming of something better. Alexis: I sense a bit of resentment about your economic situation. Rebecca: Meaning that I'd do anything for a buck? If that were true, I would have let you buy me off, Alexis. Alexis: Not if you have your mind on a bigger prize. Nikolas: I'm sorry. My aunt's tendency to overprotect seems to have gotten the better of her. She thinks that your trip to Greece is somehow connected to Helena. Alexis: Rebecca's innocence about her trip remains to be seen. Nikolas: Will you stop talking about her like she's on trial? Rebecca: No, no, no it's okay. It's okay. I can defend myself. Alexis: Please do. So, you started out in Athens? Rebecca: No, Rome. I took a train south, took the ferry from Brindisi to Corfu. Nikolas: See? There you go. Your information is already inaccurate. Rebecca: Yeah, your aunt's just trying to trip me up. She knows exactly where I was -- Mykonos, smaller islands. Alexis: Cassadine Island where Helena tutored you on how to approach Nikolas. Rebecca: No Cassadine islands on my itinerary. Alexis: Hmm, sounds like a really expensive trip for a lab technician. Rebecca: I cut back on a lot of things, Alexis. I got laid off from the hospital and got some severance pay, so I decided to do a little something for myself and took a trip to Greece. Alexis: I've a list of the hotels you stayed at there. Nikolas: Give me this. Right, Helena put Rebecca up in the finest two-star motels and bed and breakfasts in all of Greece. Rebecca: Yes, see, I didn't care where I stayed. I was just sort of sight-seeing and exploring a little. Nikolas: Ooh, sounds suspicious to me. Alexis: Hmm. Well, if you look a little closer, you'll see that there's a gap of two weeks where there's no record of her staying anywhere. So, Rebecca, care to tell us where you were and who you were with? Alexis: I have no record of your whereabouts in those two weeks. You were just gone. Rebecca: I was staying with a friend. Alexis: Do you think you could be a little more specific? Rebecca: I'd rather not. Nikolas: This is obviously making her uncomfortable. Alexis: How do you think it's making me feel? Two weeks is ample time for Helena to teach you all her little tricks. Rebecca: I met someone, okay? He was a fisherman, and I asked him to take me out on his boat for a ride, and we wound up spending the next two weeks together. Nikolas: You just crossed the line from concern to paranoia. Alexis: Better to be paranoid than willfully blind, Nikolas. Rebecca: What are you so afraid that I'm going to do to him? Alexis: I'm not worried you'll do anything to him, Rebecca. I'm worried about what you'll take from him -- his money, his child. I don't know. Maybe she's contracted you to get yourself pregnant so she can have an heir. Rebecca: You're serious. Alexis: She slit my mother's throat. You bet I'm serious. Nikolas: Okay, stop. Stop. Rebecca: No, no, no. Wait, wait. Look, I'll make you a deal. Nikolas and I haven't slept together, and not for lack of trying, but we'll refrain. Nikolas: What? We will? Rebecca: Yeah, for two weeks. You can do all the digging you want, and if you come up empty-handed, then you agree to leave us alone. Alexis: And what if I find what I'm looking for? Rebecca: You won't. Alexis: You're on. I know her resemblance to Emily is so hurtful to you that you can't ask the questions that you should. I have no such reservations.
