Nikolas: Em.
Emily: Hi.
Nikolas: Hi.
Emily: I -- I thought you went home.
Nikolas: Yeah. Yeah, well, you know, I had a -- I had a late meeting, drove by the hospital, saw your car in the lot and thought I'd try and bump into you.
Emily: You haven't had enough rejection for one night?
Nikolas: Yeah, apparently not because I'm making a -- a revised attempt to ask you out. Have dinner with me.
Emily: Did I not just say I wouldn't be with you or Zander?
Nikolas: And did I not just say that I wasn't giving up?
Emily: Look, everything in my life has been on hold for so long and I just need to settle down and get my bearings and decide what I want and right now what I want is not to make any decisions for a while.
Nikolas: Okay. But, look, patience isn't one of my -- my better virtues, but I'll try.
Emily: Okay, thanks.
Nikolas: I have to warn you, though -- I plan on running into you a lot.
Emily: Yeah? Guess I'll just have to get used to it.
Nikolas: Well, I'll go ahead and collect what's left of my pride here and head home.
Emily: Okay.
Nikolas: Bye.
Emily: Bye.
Courtney: Hey.
Emily: Hi, Courtney. Jason said you were in an accident.
Courtney: Yeah, I -- I slid off the road in the storm, but I'll be fine. I'm just really worried about Carly.
Emily: Carly? Where is she?
Courtney: She's in a house in West Haven. She fell down the stairs and she went into labor.
Emily: Oh, my God. Carly had serious complications when she had Michael, right?
Courtney: Yeah. Yeah, she's a high risk, and so is the baby. The baby has a hole in its heart, and so the doctors need to monitor it as soon as it's born. I was trying to get her help when I got in the accident, but now I don't -- the roads are so flooded, I don't know if anybody has been able to reach her.
Emily: Does anyone else know where she is?
Courtney: Yeah -- Sonny, Jason, Lorenzo Alcazar, but they're not doctors. You know, I'm not even sure if -- if they were even able to get to her. She needs a Medivac helicopter, but the hospital -- I don't know, they just keep saying she's not a priority one.
Emily: What? Of course she is.
Courtney: You're the Chief of Staff's daughter. I mean, can't you get them to bend the rules or something?
Emily: Just watch me.
Ric: Well, apparently --
Emily: Hi. You need to send a Medivac helicopter to 92 Adams Road.
Man: Is this about that woman who might be in labor?
Emily: Her name is Carly Corinthos. Her baby has a heart defect. He has to be in the hospital when he's born.
Man: I'm sorry. I have no other available helicopters.
Emily: Make it available.
Man: I have seven other people that I have to --
Emily: My name is Emily Quartermaine. General Hospital's biggest benefactor is my grandfather, Edward Quartermaine. My father, Alan Quartermaine, is Chief of Staff.
Ric: Look, Emily, Emily --
Emily: This is not a frivolous request. Two lives --
Ric: Listen, I've called in some favors and apparently there are some stranded children that they need to get the Medivac --
Man: Well, that job is finished, but we have other emergencies --
Ric: Well, wait a minute. If it's finished then this needs to be a priority.
Emily: Look, Carly and her baby need to be brought in right now or this hospital won't have funding for band-aids!
Man: All right. All right, all right. Squad 16, I need you to divert --
Emily: All right, tell them to hurry.
Man: For a priority one emergency. 92 Adams Road --
Emily: Carly hemorrhaged the last time she gave birth.
Man: A woman in labor.
Emily: If it happens again, she could bleed to death.
Man: Priority one. Go! Okay, it's done.
As Jason and Sonny bring in Carly and Morgan, along with a gunshot wounded Alcazar, Emily stands on the sidelines and watches with Elizabeth and Ric.
Emily: Hi, Courtney.
Courtney: Hey. Did they get a helicopter to Carly?
Emily: She didn't need it. Sonny and Jason found Carly and brought her and the baby in.
Courtney: So she had the baby? Is it okay?
Emily: I think he's fine. They took him to neonatal for an exam and Jason went with him.
Courtney: Oh God, Carly must be exhausted.
Emily: Um -- Carly’s in critical condition.
Courtney: What, she started hemorrhaging when she had the baby?
Emily: No, a gun went off and Carly was hit in the head.
Courtney: Was it Alcazar?
Emily: I don't know the details, but --
Courtney: He knew where to find her because of me!
Emily: No, Sonny -- Sonny didn't mention Alcazar. He kept saying that it was an accident.
Courtney: So who fired the gun?
Nikolas: It's not that serious. I'm sure there are plenty of urgent cases waiting.
Nurse: Mr. Cassadine, you need stitches.
Nikolas: All right, then fine. Stitch me up. I'll go home. I don't have to stay overnight.
Nurse: I'll have to ask the doctor.
Emily: What happened?
Nikolas: Oh -- I have a slight injury. It's no big deal.
Nurse: That's not what the rescue worker said. He found a woman and her little girl trapped in their car in a flooding creek. He risked his life to get them out. Stay put until the doctor comes back.
Emily: You risked your life, huh?
Nikolas: I didn't mean to. I'm just not as strong a swimmer as I thought I was.
Emily: Yeah. Nice try, but I know a hero when I see one.
