Emily: Well, the prescription I brought should take care of Spencer's ear, and you are a good, responsible father to call in when you did. And I'm glad that I was nearby and I could bring it right over.
Nikolas: And I am very grateful. And so is Alfred, of course. He prepared dinner in a totally transparent attempt to keep you around.
Emily: Oh, my God. Wow. If I'd known, I would've worn my formal scrubs.
Nikolas: If you need to get back to the hospital, I understand. It's okay.
Emily: And hurt Alfred's feelings? I wouldn't dream of it.
Lucky: Damn it. Nikolas? Oh, you're here. Good. You're both here, even better. You have to do something very important for me.
Nikolas: What is it you need, Lucky?
Lucky: Well, you need to take care of Elizabeth and Cameron because I've screwed up everything.
Emily: You're drunk.
Lucky: No. No. You know what? I haven't even had a drop all day, but it's early.
Nikolas: What happened? What -- what happened, Lucky?
Lucky: You know, I thought I could marry someone as perfect as Elizabeth and keep all my promises to her, but us Spencers? We can't make promises. We can't deal with it when it gets too tough.
Nikolas: That's just an excuse and you know it.
Lucky: Nikolas, you don't understand! You know what? You were taught manners, you have all the right answers. That's why I'm counting on you. I want you to promise me that you're going to take care of them.
Emily: What -- what is that supposed to mean?
Lucky: You know what? Buy Elizabeth that house she's always wanted, and get Cameron --
Nikolas: How many pills have you actually taken today? Is that why you and Elizabeth fought?
Lucky: You know what? Elizabeth walked out on me.
Nikolas: Well, maybe she needed a little space while you sobered up. I can't say I really blame her.
Emily: She loves you, Lucky. She would never leave you.
Lucky: Oh, like you and Nikolas loved each other?
Nikolas: That's different and you know it.
Lucky: No, no -- actually, no. Elizabeth, she -- well, she she walked out on me when she found out that I was having an affair with Maxie.
Lucky: The looks on your faces -- oh, my God, they're almost as good as the one Elizabeth had on hers when she walked in and she found me and Maxie together.
Nikolas: What?
Emily: Lucky --
Nikolas: Are you telling me Elizabeth saw --
Lucky: Twice. Twice, yeah.
Nikolas: Have you lost it, Lucky?
Lucky: You know what? You're right. I probably should've come to you and figured out how to get away with it.
Emily: Stop it. That was different.
Lucky: You're right. I actually gave Elizabeth a reason. I mean, she's always been wanting to get in Drake's pants for months. I mean, all you ever did, Emily, was get raped and --
Nikolas: Hey, hey, watch it! Watch it!
Emily: Okay, stop it, Lucky!
Lucky: All I ever wanted her to do was stop. So I asked her in every way I knew how, and she -- I just figured maybe, just maybe, you know what, she had the right idea.
Nikolas: What? That is the biggest crock that I have ever heard in my life.
Lucky: Oh, God, not like yours, I know. I mean, you're just whining about your life when you have the Cassadine fortune to clean up your mess.
Nikolas: Hey, I'm telling you, your problem isn't about money.
Lucky: Oh, come on! Come on, this is where you always jump in, tell me how screwed up I am and fix it!
Nikolas: Not this time, Lucky. This time you have to fix it.
Lucky: You know what? It's too late. I'm not fixable. That's what it is.
Emily: No, you're stoned.
Lucky: Stoned? Stoned? I'm stoned. I am way beyond stoned. I've had so many pills that I can't even count them today.
Emily: You need help with this, Lucky. It's a sickness.
Lucky: I'm sick? I'm sick? I'm just following a long Spencer tradition, that's what I'm doing. I mean, my father is drunk. Everybody in this town thinks that Luke Spencer is a hero and he just can't live with the hype. Now I'm just good and sick of competing with Luke. You know what? That's my sickness. You know what? The kind they don't even make pills for, that's it.
Emily: No one asked you to be a hero, Lucky. You brought that on yourself.
Nikolas: Keep going on like this, see what happens.
Lucky: You know what? I'm just trying to get through one day after the next! You know what? So what's the problem if I'm trying to, you know, take something from under the counter just to get me through the -- hey!
Lulu: Lucky, what are you doing?
Nikolas: Get out.
Lucky: I'm sorry.
Lulu: Shouldn't someone go after him?
Nikolas: Shouldn't someone grow up?
Lulu: I just -- I don't understand.
Nikolas: He's messed up, Lulu.
Lulu: Well, I get that much.
Emily: He started taking pain pills when he hurt his back and I guess he never stopped.
Lulu: He's addicted?
Emily: He's in pain.
Nikolas: And he's going to make sure that everyone who cares about him is in pain, as well.
Lulu: Okay, shouldn't we do something to help him?
Emily: There's nothing we can do. I went through this with my father. An addict has to decide to help himself.
Lulu: We need to call Elizabeth. What? What?
Nikolas: Might as well -- we might as well tell her. She's going to find out eventually.
Lulu: I'm standing right here. Tell me what is going on.
Emily: All right, all right. Elizabeth left him. Lucky cheated on her.
Lulu: Okay. Okay. All right. Nikolas, he was really messed up. He could fall off the docks or something. Could you --
Nikolas: What -- okay. If it makes you feel any better, I'll go make sure he got on the launch.
Lulu: Please. He really cheated on Elizabeth?
Emily: Hard to imagine.
Lulu: Huh. Well, I must be naive, but I thought if someone loved you, they'd never do anything to hurt you.
