Emily: God, I can hardly believe that we're finally free to kiss on the pier.
Nikolas: Or any other place we want, for that matter.
Emily: Yeah.
Nikolas: And it's just the beginning. Mmm. Ah. My ship came in.
Emily: Yeah.
Nikolas: Literally. It's going to make me a lot of money. Not only enough to clear the debt but to pay Jason back what he loaned me for the interest payments.
Emily: Yeah.
Nikolas: That money's the only thing standing between Alcazar's thugs and me, you know?
Emily: Yeah. How long do you think it'll take to pay back the loan?
Man: Too long.
Emily: Who are you? Leave him alone. Leave him alone.
Man: Shh. Isn't that right, used-to-be rich boy?
Nikolas: I think there's a little misunderstanding here. I assume you're here about the loan. Yeah? Well, I made the last interest payment ahead of schedule.
Man: Jason Morgan's money's no good anymore.
Nikolas: Since when?
Music plays.
Zander: Look, Faith, I'm telling you for your sake, this is a bad idea. Someone is bound to tell Sonny that you just rolled into Carly's club like you own the place.
Faith: Maybe I do.
Zander: He's going to come gunning for you in about five minutes.
Faith: Oh, my. We wouldn't want that, now, would we?
Zander: I don't advise it.
Faith: Hmm. Big, scary Sonny and his goons are going to come storming in the place with their big, scary weapons. So if we're going to be here anyway, we should do the smart thing and find some darkened corner to sit quietly and not draw any unnecessary attention to ourselves? Is that what you're thinking? Oops.
Lorenzo: Next time do what I pay you for and handle it. I've got better things to do with my time than manage your traffic.
Nikolas: What happened to our arrangement?
Lorenzo: Can I help you?
Nikolas: I just got stunned by a couple of your goon collectors. You were fine with me making payments on the loan until I got my family's businesses back on track. What happened?
Lorenzo: That is not my concern anymore. I sold the Cassadine debt.
Emily: You sold it?
Nikolas: Sold it? What do you mean, you sold it?
Lorenzo: Don't sound so shocked.
Emily: Did it occur to you to maybe give Nikolas advanced warning?
Lorenzo: Frankly, no. It's a business transaction. I was approached by someone who had the cash. I took it. It would have been foolish not to.
Nikolas: We're talking about a substantial amount of money here.
Lorenzo: And someone was willing to pay it to have leverage over you.
Nikolas: I understand you bought my family's loan from Lorenzo Alcazar.
Faith: That I did. Your uncle got in a little over his pompadour, didn't he?
Nikolas: I'd like to work out some sort of arrangement, if I may.
Faith: Fine. I wouldn't be adverse to that.
Nikolas: What are your terms?
Faith: Well, let's see. I need something. Oh -- oh, I know. How about that nice shiny new boat that you just brought into the harbor?
Nikolas: You want me to give you my ship?
Faith: No. No, no, no. See, I just want to use it. All you have to do is turn your back every once in a while while I piggyback a shipment.
Nikolas: Forget it.
Faith: Well, I strongly advise you to reconsider.
Nikolas: I don't do drugs, Faith, in any way, shape, or fashion.
Faith: Oh, dear. That's unfortunate. See, because you're forcing me to use my secret weapon.
Emily: Zander, what are you doing?
Zander: It's not yours to worry about.
Faith: That's right, Emmy. You can't have all the hunky boy toys in town. Zander's mine now.
Nikolas: Forget it, Faith. You're not using my ship for drugs. Let's go, Em.
Faith: Ahem.
Nikolas: Hey, get off me.
Emily: All right, let him go.
Nikolas: Get your hands off of her.
Emily: Leave him alone, Faith!
Faith: The girl can go.
Emily: What --
Faith: He stays. I am sick of being treated like something that has to be wiped off the collective shoes of the town. It is going to stop now with you. Give Mr. Cassadine a sorely needed lesson in respect.
