Michael: I know I promised to come back to Dr. Thomas, but I didn't think it was going to be this soon.
Emily: Yeah, it's pretty scary, isn't it?
Michael: Is it scary for you, too?
Emily: Yeah. But you know what I've discovered? There's no magic fix. You have to try real hard so the doctor can help you. And after each session, I tell myself how proud I am for hanging in. And the next session is almost always easier. You know, you're lucky to have people who love you and can help you.
Michael: I guess.
Sam: You know, maybe Emily could take you to Dr. Thomas' office.
Emily: I'd like that.
Sam: Good.
Michael: I don't want to go.
Jason: We'll be back here, okay?
Michael: Okay.
Sam: Don't take this the wrong way, okay? But I think the last thing Michael needs right now is any negativity at all --
Jason: What?
Sam: About Dr. Thomas. You're easy to read where he's concerned, Jason.
Jason: It just would have, you know, helped a lot if Sonny could have been here.
Jason: Hey.
Michael: We waited forever, and now I have to go back later.
Emily: Dr. Thomas had an emergency appointment, so he has to reschedule Michael for later this evening. He wants to speak to you two for just a minute.
Sam: Do you mind waiting? Okay, we'll be back.
Michael: Okay.
Emily: Hey, Michael, I want to go to the vending machine, get some snacks. You want to come?
Michael: No, I'll wait here and I'll read my comic book.
Emily: Okay, I'll be right back.
Michael: Okay.
Phone rings.
Nikolas: Rumor has it you got a hot date.
Emily: I do. Do you have something special in mind?
Nikolas: Oh, I think you'll like this one.
Emily: Is this seat taken?
Nikolas: It is now.
Emily: Thank you. White wine, please.
Bartender: All right.
Nikolas: You strike me as more of a champagne gal.
Emily: I was taught not to speak to strangers.
Nikolas: Oh, well, I can fix that. Hi. I'm Nikolas.
Emily: Um, Andrea. Andrea Doria.
Nikolas: You -- come on, you can't take the name of a shipwreck. Come on, play right.
Emily: Don't say I didn't warn you.
Nikolas: All right, come on.
Emily: Okay, sorry. Hi. I'm Emily.
Nikolas: Come here often?
Emily: Nikolas, you can do better than that.
Nikolas: Okay. Okay. Ahem. Hi.
Emily laughs.
Emily: Hi.
Nikolas: I'm sorry. It's just that I'm staring at the most beautiful woman that I've ever seen. I'm just a little, you know --
Emily: Keep talking, stranger.
Nikolas: So you're smart, dedicated, and selfless, am I right?
Emily: Hmm. Well, I wouldn't go that far. So, what about you? What do you do?
Nikolas: Oh, what do I do? Hmm. Well --
Emily: What? You forgot?
Nikolas: No, no, no, it just sounds a little pretentious, that's all.
Emily: Oh, so next thing you're going to tell me, you rule a small country or something.
Nikolas: Wow, you are smart.
Emily: Get out!
Nikolas: Well, I would have if the monarchy hadn't been deposed. But that's right, I'm a prince.
Emily: Oh, well, I've been called a princess, but it's not the same. So, where do you come from?
Nikolas: Where do I come from? My family has a private island in Greece.
Emily: Oh, so spoiled and sheltered.
Nikolas: Lonely and secluded, okay? I didn't have a clue about the world at large. I mean, you wouldn't believe how difficult it was for me to grasp the idea of a burger and fries.
Emily: Oh, right, right. Nikolas -- now you're just going for pity.
Nikolas: Well, I have to do something to make sure you don't leave me for the guy at the end of the bar.
Emily: The guy -- oh, why would I do that? There's still so much I want to know about you.
Nikolas: Thanks. So, listen, there's an island on the harbor with a big, cold house on it. Perhaps you've seen it.
Emily: I've seen it.
Nikolas: Yeah, well, I haven't been there in a couple of weeks, and I think I should go check on it, you know, just to make sure the grounds have been kept up. You want to come?
Emily: Now?
Nikolas: Mm-hmm. Well, the house is -- it's really ugly, but the gardens aren't, okay. Flowers everywhere. I want you to see them.
