Emily: How are you?
Nikolas: I've been better.
Emily: They'll be setting bail soon, and I have the money, so you should be out in no time.
Nikolas: No.
Emily: Nikolas, this isn't anything to go to jail over. You had too much to drink and things got out of hand.
Nikolas: I'm not taking your money, Emily.
Emily: Fine. You know, just pay me back when you get out.
Nikolas: I'll still be in your debt.
Emily: So what?
Nikolas: So? So what? I'll say "Thank you" and you'll get your hopes up, and I'll end up hurting you like I always do.
Emily: You feel that I have expectations that you can't meet. You want to be your own person, not some imitation of who you were. I'm clear on that now.
Nikolas: Well, that's pretty convincing for someone who doesn't believe a word of what they're saying.
Emily: Okay, Nikolas, I am being honest with you. The bail money is a gift. I don't expect anything in return. Just take it and let Alexis handle the charges.
Nikolas: Can't we leave Alexis out of this, please?
Emily: You need a lawyer!
Nikolas: Just, please go. Okay? Will you please just go? Will you go back to Lucky and pick up where you left off?
Emily: Is that what this is about?
Nikolas: Just go back to Lucky.
Emily: What, the fact that I was with Lucky? How can you be jealous when you claim that you don't feel anything for me?
Emily: Why are you so angry? Why won't you let me do something as simple as posting your bail?
Nikolas: I told you again and again to stay away from me and to give me room. But -- but you're not hearing me! You just keep coming back!
Emily: All right, so this is my fault?
Nikolas: I've tried, Emily, I’ve tried, but I’m losing my patience and understanding because nothing's getting through to you!
Emily: Okay, so you're back to thinking that I followed you to The Cellar?
Nikolas: I don't know. You tell me.
Emily: Nikolas, that's ridiculous! I went there to meet Lucky. You're the one that came over to me.
Nikolas: No, you -- you were flirting with him, Emily. You were just trying to make me jealous. Come on.
Emily: You know, you'll read what you want into anything, won't you?
Nikolas: Well, are you denying that you want me back?
Emily: Nikolas, we can't -- we're going to run into each other, whether you like it or not. We can't just pretend to be strangers.
Nikolas: Because you keep thinking that the old Nikolas is the only man that you're going to love. But let me tell you, Emily, I am not him! So will you please just leave me alone from now on? I'd rather stay here in jail than leave with you right now! Don't you understand that? Don't you understand that?
Lucky: Back off now!
Nikolas: What do you want, another fight with me, Lucky?
Lucky: You know what --
Emily: No --
Lucky: What is the matter with you, all right? You know what, Emily is not to blame for this mess.
Nikolas: I --
Lucky: You are!
Nikolas: I told Emily -- oh, God -- to leave me alone. And now I'm telling you, okay? The both of you keep thinking that you are the solution to my problems, but you are the problem.
Emily: Lucky and I care about you, Nikolas. We have done everything to protect you when other people have been trying to take advantage of you.
Nikolas: You wanted my gratitude, my devotion, and my love. Well, you even want it right now.
Emily: All right, you have a problem, but it's not us.
Lucky: Emily, Emily, just -- you know what, leave it alone. You're wasting your breath.
Nikolas: Oh, do you hear that? My brother and I finally agree on something.
Lucky: Hey, you leave her alone, okay?
Nikolas: Well, oh -- fine. Okay.
Lucky: We're just going to give you what you want. Just come on, let's get out of here. You know what, you can rot in here for all I care.
Mac: Nikolas' bail has been set.
Emily: Yeah, he refused our help. He doesn't want to be bailed out.
Helena: Nikolas has no choice in the matter.
Nikolas: I've already -- I've already been through this with Emily. I won't accept her money to bail me out, all right?
Mac: Emily didn't post your bail. Your grandmother Helena did.
Nikolas: I don't -- I don't want her money, either. You can leave me locked up in here as long as you want. I don't care.
Mac: It's not a police matter anymore, Nikolas.
Nikolas: What do you mean? What -- what's going on? What are you doing? Get off me!
Mac: Take it easy. You don't have to handle it this way.
Nikolas: Get off me!
Orderly: We have our orders, commissioner.
Nikolas: What -- you can't take me out of here! What are you doing? Get away from me! Get off me!
Lucky: What are you guys doing?
Helena: They're from Shadybrook, a psychiatric facility.
Nikolas: You're having me committed?
Helena: I'm having you evaluated. Nikolas, I’ve been so concerned about you. You need a good, long rest.
Nikolas: You -- you don't know a damn thing about what I need! You're just trying to control me! Get off of me!
Orderly: Don't make this harder than it has to be!
Helena: Nikolas, stay calm. Struggling will not do anything.
Nikolas: I'm not crazy! Get off! Get off of me!
Helena: Take him away.
Nikolas: Ow!
Lucky: Get the straitjacket now! Here's your opening. Do it right now. Run.
Helena: Go after him! No, don't let him escape! Go!
Emily: You helped Nikolas get away, didn't you?
Mac: Nikolas is gone. We couldn't catch him.
Helena: Find him.
Emily: I thought you said this wasn't a police matter, Helena.
Helena: Nikolas assaulted Officer Spencer. Now, that puts this squarely back under police jurisdiction.
Mac: She's right. I'll put out an A.P.B.
Lucky: Okay, know what, you might as well go home.
Emily: Okay, call me if there's any news.
Lucky: Yeah.
Helena: Don't waste your time on denials. I know perfectly well that you helped Nikolas escape.
Emily: Hi.
Edward: Emily. What -- what are you doing here?
Emily: Well, I came to see you.
Edward: Nobody knew I was here.
Emily: Yeah, well, it's your anniversary and you and grandmother used to always come down here and remember your -- your first anniversary and how you and she danced in the moonlight and she looked so beautiful, huh? It's one of the most romantic stories I've ever heard. But I thought you might be sad, so --
Edward: Oh, my dear girl. You're such a blessing to this family. Oh. How are you holding up?
Emily: Oh, been kind of a rough day.
Edward: You focus on your memories. Remember that.
Emily: Okay.
Nikolas: Shh, shh, shh.
Lucky: Who could blame me if I did help Nikolas escape? You know, any judge who could sign an order to have Nikolas committed would either be crazy himself or in your back pocket.
Helena: Oh, don't you make the mistake of antagonizing me. You know, your father has always been a worthy opponent. Unfortunately, you lack his lethal edge.
Lucky: Don't bet on it.
Helena: Oh. Much as I would love to spar with you, I do have more important business. Nikolas must be protected from himself.
Lucky: You know what -- those commitment papers aren't valid until he's actually examined by a psychiatrist.
Helena: Well, that will happen soon.
Lucky: And until then, you're still broke and Nikolas still controls the Cassadine fortune. That's what this is about, isn't it, Helena? You want the estate.
Helena: If Nikolas is unable to supervise the estate, naturally --
Lucky: Nikolas hasn't shown any interest in what's left of the Cassadine fortune. The only reason he's still fighting you is because he's realized what a twisted witch you are.
Helena: How dare you.
Lucky: Oh. In other words, I'm right.
Helena: What's this?
Lucky: It's called cab fare.
