August 23, 2004 Screencaps

Emily: St. Viviana's Day.

Nikolas: Well, it's a made-up holiday celebrated by a walk in the snow that ends in a snowball fight. But, see, that doesn't count because you told me that when I thought I was Connor.

Emily: Um -- Kelly's-closed dinner.

Nikolas: A traditional potluck shared by the four musketeers.

Emily: Who are?

Nikolas: Who are you, me, Lucky, and Elizabeth, who always brings brownies because that's the only thing she knows how to make. How am I doing so far?

Emily: You're wonderful.

Nikolas: I love you. Can I tell you something?

Emily: Yeah.

Nikolas: Remember the first night we made love?

Emily: Mm-hmm.

Nikolas: Yeah? It was the happiest moment of my life up until then. Because I knew -- I knew that -- that I would be in love with you for the rest of my life.

Thunder.


Alice: Where are the lanterns?

Emily: Thank God. I was sure either Mary or Helena was going to walk through that door.

Nikolas: Yeah.

Emily: And honestly, I don't know which one would have been worse.

Nikolas: Well, my vote goes to Helena. Mary's misguided; Helena's lethal.

Emily: Mary's a lot more than misguided.

Nikolas: True, but I -- I think Helena's the bigger threat here. We need to find another hiding place. She knows that we've come here before.

Emily: Which is why she wouldn't think we'd come back.

Nikolas: Or why she would think we would. Listen, listen to me -- I really want you to go up to the house, okay? Please, I --

Emily: Wherever we go, we go together. You're stuck with me.

Nikolas: Okay. And that's all I want.

Emily: You need to understand where I'm coming from.

Nikolas: Come here.

Thunder.

Emily: I finally made peace with the idea that your memory would never come back. It was enough just to be with you, to have you back, to be able to call you by your name. And I was starting to learn how to love you as you were instead of needing who you used to be. And now the miracle I stopped praying for has happened and I've been given this amazing gift, and I'll never treat it lightly or take it for granted again. So you better get used to it because I'll never willingly be separated from you again.

Nikolas: Ok. You know, when I think about how much I hurt you and all -- all the horrible things that I said to you, I would -- I wouldn't have blamed you if you turned your back on me for good. I wouldn't.

Emily: Never. I love you, Nikolas. The night I realized you were alive, it was like being reborn, like being given a second chance at everything.

Nikolas: I know. I know, but it was still unfair. I mean, it was bad enough when I thought I was -- when I thought I was Connor, going on and on about my love for Mary and accusing you of being a stalker. And when I found out the truth, instead of begging you to forgive me, I lashed out to you even more, basically punishing you for loving me. I'm going to spend the rest of my life making that up to you, okay?

Emily: There's nothing to make up.

Thunder.

Emily: You were struggling through confusion and darkness, and I struggled with you. Because we promised never to let go.

Nikolas: Yes, we did. And we never will, okay?


Emily: Nikolas --

Nikolas: It's okay, it's okay. It's just thunder. You're safe.

Emily: Oh, this feels like heaven. Of all the things I missed when you were away from me, falling asleep in your arms tops the list.

Nikolas: I remember being with you like this. Oh, you have no idea what it means to say that, to know it. Come here.

Nikolas: Oh -- where is your engagement ring?

Emily: I -- I took it off when I thought we were having your memorial service. I -- I promised Lulu that I would give it to her as a gift from her big brother --

Nikolas: Well --

Emily: When she grew up.

Nikolas: I will buy Lulu another one. Our engagement ring goes back on your finger, all right?

Emily: Mm-hmm.

Nikolas: Where it will soon be joined by a wedding band. Know what I'm saying?

Emily: Can't happen soon enough. I -- I hate to -- to spoil the mood, but it's my curse to be practical. And if we're going to stay here tonight, we're going to need supplies. So I'm going to run up to the house and I'm going to change clothes, grab a few blankets, and raid the kitchen.

Nikolas: All right.

Emily: Okay?

Nikolas: I'll go with you.

Emily: It'll be easier if I go alone.

Nikolas: What if you get caught?

Emily: I won't be. I spent years growing up in that house. I know how to sneak in and out. Don't worry. I'll be fine, okay?

Nikolas: Okay. Hurry up.

Emily: Okay.
