'Connor': Mary.
Mary: Don't worry. I won't leave without my goodbye kiss.
'Connor': Where you going?
Mary: To work.
'Connor': No, no, no, no. I don't want you going anywhere near General Hospital.
Emily: Lucky! What are you --?
Lucky: What, are you catching up on your paperwork?
Emily: You know I'm really behind. I've been so distracted lately.
Lucky: Well, work can wait another day.
Emily: Lucky --
Lucky: No, you can't back out on me now because, see, you already promised me a little picnic, and the sun is shining -- can you hold that, please? The sun is shining. We're going to have a beautiful day.
Emily squeals.
Lucky: Going down. Thank you very much, sir.
Emily: Oh, this is exactly what I need.
Lucky: Yes.
Mary: It's kind of hard to collect a paycheck if I don't show up.
'Connor': Mary, I make enough money for the both of us, okay? I want you to quit.
Mary: Why?
'Connor': Because I want to concentrate on each other. I've been focusing way too much on the past, and I really want to try to live for now.
Mary: Does that mean you're going to stop trying to remember your life?
'Connor': Everything I need to know you already told me. My name is Connor Bishop and I'm your husband.
Mary: Are you sure that's enough for you?
'Connor': Yeah. Yeah, that's what I want. And we both -- we've both made mistakes and we've both become stronger because of them, but what matters now is that -- is that we love each other. I mean, that's the -- the past, the present, and the future all rolled into one.
Mary: Okay. Well, if it means that much to you, I'll quit today.
'Connor': No, no, wait, wait. You can tell Mrs. Hardy later. It's a beautiful morning out and I want to spend it with my wife in the park.
Lucky: Nikolas and I -- we used to play basketball right over there.
Emily: I don't want to talk about Nikolas.
Lucky: All right.
Emily: I can't keep living in the past. I know it's helped to mourn Nikolas together, but it's time to move on. I want to be happy, Lucky, and we both need to figure out what's going to make us that way.
Lucky: You ever play "The Duck Who Loved Ice Cream"?
Emily: What?
Lucky: You know when you lookay up at the sky and you can pick out clouds and what they most resemble?
Emily: What does that have to do with ducks eating mocha fudge?
Lucky: My -- my mom and I, we used to sit on the grass and we'd lookay up there in the sky and we'd pick out clouds and shapes and we'd make stories about them.
Emily: Oh, I get it now. One cloud lookayed like a duck, another like an ice cream cone, etc., etc.
Lucky: You know what? You try it. What about -- what about that big puffy one right up there? What's that lookay like to you?
Emily: Hmm. A beagle.
Lucky: Okay. Then name it.
Emily: His name's Baxter.
Lucky: Okay, Baxter the Beagle. And what about that one right there. You see it?
Emily: Mm-hmm. Um -- a toaster oven?
Lucky: Okay, Baxter the beagle who likes toast.
Emily: Dogs don't eat toast!
Lucky: Oh, Baxter does, and he just can't get enough of it.
Emily: Something tells me Baxter would eat anything.
Lucky: Mm-hmm, including that umbrella right there.
Emily: What happened to the duck who liked ice cream?
Lucky: Well, he never got a taste. He kept chasing it and it just kept floating away.
Emily: Yeah. Sounds like real life. You see something and fall in love with it, and then it goes away.
Lucky: And then when you least expect it, something better comes along.
'Connor': That's Nikolas' brother, right? We should go before -- before anybody sees us.
Mary: Yeah. I should talk to Emily. She helped me get the job at the hospital. I should tell her I'm quitting.
'Connor': Today was supposed to be about us. Let's not ruin it, okay? Come on, let's go.
Mary: I'll catch up with you.
'Connor': Okay. All right, I’ll meet you at the basketball court.
Mary: Right.
Lucky: Hey.
Mary: Sorry to interrupt, but I'm glad I ran into you.
Lucky: Yeah, hey, you know what, there's something I forgot to do, so I'll be right back.
Mary: He seems like a really nice guy.
Emily: Yeah, Lucky’s the best. What did you want to tell me?
Mary: I'm quitting my job at the hospital. I don't know if I'm going to be around much anymore.
Emily: You're leaving because of Nikolas?
Emily: You said you wanted to move on, to get over Connor, and I know I’ve been holding you back with my grief over Nikolas.
Mary: No, it's okay. You needed someone.
Emily: I needed my fiancé. But since he isn't here, I shared my loss with you. I know you can empathize with how awful it is to be without the one person you'll always love.
Mary: You helped me, too, Emily. You were never a burden.
Emily: Are you leaving Port Charles?
Mary: Nothing's for sure.
Emily: Well, you must have gotten another job. I know you needed the money.
Mary: That's not a problem anymore.
Emily: Well, your mystery man must have a good job, or maybe he was born rich. What, is he a prince or something?
Mary: I never, ever planned on moving on, Emily, but I did. I hope you can do the same someday.
Emily: I finally accepted that Nikolas is gone from my life. I have to move on, Mary. I don't have a choice.
Lucky: Almost forgot our dessert. Mmm. Mmm.
Emily: Chocolate chip?
Lucky: Yeah, fresh from the counter at Kelly’s, but I forgot them in the car and they melted.
Emily chuckles.
Emily: Oh, boy. Kelly’s. Mmm, tastes fine to me.
Lucky: Yeah.
Emily: Want a bite?
Lucky: Hmm. So melted. I'm sorry they melted.
Emily: Wait. You've got some chocolate on your mouth.
Lucky: I do?
Emily: Wait -- oop.
Lucky: Oh, that's -- hey, whoa. You know what, I -- I hate to burst your bubble, but you've got a little there, too. Lookay at that. See?
Emily: What?
Lucky: It's right here. See?
Emily: Lucky, wait!
Lucky: It's right there. Lookay at this.
'Connor': Work!
Mary: Uh, that's public property.
'Connor': It's a park. It's a park. There should be more than one drinking fountain in a park.
Mary: I think you should write a letter to the mayor.
'Connor': I'd rather hear how it went with you and Emily.
Mary: Surprisingly well. She seemed to be okay about it.
'Connor': Good.
Mary: I actually think she was trying to get rid of me. She and Lucky -- God, they seem pretty close.
'Connor': Really? Well, you think she'd fall for her fiancé’s brother? I mean --
Mary: There's no rules when it comes to love.
'Connor': Yeah, I guess so. So, well, at least she's moving on. Emily deserves to be happy.
Mary: Hey. Hey, she couldn't be as happy as we are, right?
'Connor': Yeah, yeah.
Lucky: You okay?
Emily: Yeah, fine. I just wasn't --
Lucky: Expecting me to kiss you?
Emily: Mm-hmm.
Lucky: You know, neither was I. If I made you uncomfortable, I --
Emily: No. Uh -- okay. Yeah, a little. Uh, we're friends. You're Nikolas' brother.
Lucky: Emily, listen, I know that it's too soon for you to start thinking about being with anybody but Nikolas.
Emily: Lookay, it's complicated, Lucky. You don't even know --
Lucky: No, I know. I do. And I know you're confused and scared, and so am I. I just think it's about time for us to both tell the truth.
Emily: I want to tell you the truth so much.
Lucky: I --
Emily: And if you --
Lucky: Listen, I know kissing you might not have been the right thing to do, but there's just something that just makes me feel so close to you, something -- just something that's much stronger than friendship.
