April 4, 2007 Screencaps

Nikolas: Spasiba, do svidanya. Paperwork on your new identity seems to be moving forward. You'll have immigration papers within a few weeks.

James: Impressive.

Nikolas: The sooner you get what you want, the sooner I can have my life back.

James: No, I don't think so.

Robin: Kavi, did you get the blood work back on Nikolas Cassadine?

Kavi: No, not yet.

Robin: But I asked you to put a rush on all those tests.

Kavi: I know you did, but there was a --

Patrick: I pointed out that the patients at this hospital deserve priority over whatever you need done for your -- boyfriend.

Robin: Patrick, don't do this.

Patrick: Don't do what -- follow hospital procedure or object to your overnight love affair with Nikolas?

Nikolas: So how long do you expect this arrangement to last?

James: I don't know -- as long as you want to keep drawing breath.

Nikolas: I've done everything you've asked of me! I opened my home to you, gave you full access to Cassadine Holdings, make arrangements for you to have a new identity. As soon as the paperwork's in, you can start a whole new life wherever you want! Where no one knows who you are or what you've done.

James: I must admit, despite your initial resistance, you went to great lengths to honor your end of the bargain and -- which is why I feel obligated to do the same. Now, if I were to disappear, where would you get the counteragent to stay alive?

Nikolas: You could just leave it with Robin.

James: Oh, and trust that you two would keep a secret after I'm gone? I don't think so. You see, the point of me becoming a new person is to distance myself from my former crimes. I mean, it would defeat the purpose if you told Emily or anyone else about my new identity.

Nikolas: I wouldn't do that.

James: Well, sadly, I won't be able to rely on the old honor system. There may be a point where I opt to move on, find some new blood, so to speak. So for now, our arrangement suits my needs, so why don't you practice looking smitten for Robin? I mean, look on the bright side -- I'm sure poor Emily will learn to accept your infidelity and move on.

Nikolas: Damn!

Robin: I just don't understand what good it does to interfere with my work.

Patrick: Well, I'm just being honest. I mean, that used to be important to you -- telling the truth. So enlighten me -- how is it living at Wyndemere? Everything you thought it would be?

Emily: You're living with Nikolas?

Patrick: He didn't tell her? Wow, I'm surprised. I thought Nikolas, with his perfect manners, would've sent out a formal announcement on engraved stationery. But then again, it's never easy to tell your girlfriend she's been replaced.

Emily: Robin, there -- there has got to be some mistake.

Emily chuckles.

Patrick: Yeah, Robin, why don't you tell her -- you and Nikolas have fallen in love.

Robin: Uh -- it's not something that we planned. It just -- it just happened. After the hostage crisis, things were put into perspective for Nikolas and I and we realized that we had something deeper than our friendship.

Emily: You and Nikolas?

Robin: I'm so sorry. We didn't mean to hurt anyone.

Patrick: Well, that went well. No, I'm serious -- I mean, why drag out the pain? Might as well just get it over with and move on.

Nikolas: Have the accounts been set up for Mr. Brosnan? Good. Transfer the funds by the end of the day, please. Thank you.

Robin: Hey. Nikolas, where -- where's Craig?

Nikolas: Went for a ride on one of my horses.

Robin: Good. I have to talk to you.

Nikolas: What?

Robin: Just remember when I tell you this, okay -- just remember what's at stake.

Nikolas: What is it?

Robin: I had -- I had to tell Emily.

Nikolas: Had to tell Emily what?

Robin: I had to tell Emily the lie, the lie about us.

Nikolas: Why?

Robin: Patrick and I were fighting. She walked up and she heard him say something about you and me and me living at Wyndemere. I tried to explain it to her. I told her after the hostage crisis, that we became closer.

Nikolas: How did she react? How angry was she?

Robin: Honestly, she wasn't angry. She just -- she just kind of stood here.

Nikolas: She wasn't angry?

Robin: I'm so sorry. Nikolas, this is not your fault.

Nikolas: Doesn't matter, Robin. All she knows is that I broke her heart -- again.

Patrick: Hey. I'm sorry. Robin and I broke up over this whole Nikolas thing and i haven't been handling it very well. I'm sure there was a more tactful way to let you know that they were living together --

Emily: They're not.

Patrick: Look, Emily, I didn't believe it in the beginning, either, but I saw them.

Emily: Look, this isn't denial. Patrick, I know Nikolas, okay? He -- he would never do something to me like that again and -- and Robin, she's not the kind of person who falls in love easily. I mean, after everything that you have been through -- the H.I.V. scare, Robin getting shot, you saving her life -- do you honestly believe that Robin would throw your relationship away on an affair?

Patrick: Well, I don't expect her to stay with me out of gratitude. If she doesn't love me, then we shouldn't be together. It's --

Emily: Look, when Robin was trapped inside of that hotel, she was bleeding and scared. All she could talk about was you, how much she loved you and what was going to happen to you if she died. Robin loves you, Patrick, more than you can ever even imagine.

Patrick: Yeah, well, then why is she with Nikolas?

Emily: I don't know, but I'm planning to find out.

Robin: Look, I hate lying to Emily and Patrick as much as you do, but we don't have a lot of options right now. Craig will kill you if we don't do what he asks.

Nikolas: No. No, we need to stop living in fear and start taking control of the situation right now.

James: Whoa. I can't wait to see you try. Well, it will be rather challenging while you're lying on the ground gasping for air.

Nikolas: You can threaten me all you want --

Robin: Nikolas --

Nikolas: No, no, no, I'm done. I'll give you money. I'll give you a new identity. But I won't hurt Emily anymore. And this fake affair with Robin ends right now.

Alfred: Excuse me, Sir. Miss Emily is here to see you.

Nikolas: Show her in.

James: Well, the way I see it, you have a few options. Emily can either walk in on you and Robin locked in a passionate embrace, or she can sit there and watch you die. Or I could suddenly trip and plant a needle in her arm. Your choice.

Alfred: Mr. Cassadine is waiting for you in the study.

Emily: Thank you, Alfred. I'll show myself in.

Alfred: As you like.

As Emily walks in, she sees Robin and Nikolas kissing on the couch.

Patrick: Hey, have you spoken to Emily?

Elizabeth: No, not since this morning.

Patrick: I think maybe you should give her a call. I think she could use a friend right about now.

Elizabeth: Why do you say that?

Patrick: She just found out that Nikolas and Robin are together.

Elizabeth: What are you talking about?

Patrick: Robin and I broke up a couple days ago, and she moved into Wyndemere.

Elizabeth: Oh. I'm really sorry, but maybe she just needed some space. I'm sure it's not what you think.

Patrick: No, she made it pretty clear that they're more than just friends. We were fighting about it when Emily walked up and overheard that -- that they were together.

Elizabeth: Well, Emily must be devastated.

Patrick: She's over at Wyndemere right now giving him a chance to explain.

Elizabeth: Okay. I'm going to call her. Thanks for telling me.

Patrick: Thanks.

Lucky: Huh? Where's Mommy, huh?

Cameron: Mommy!

Lucky: Hey, you ready?

Elizabeth: Hey.

Lucky: What's the matter?

Elizabeth: Patrick Drake just told me that Nikolas is having an affair with Robin.

Lucky: What?

Elizabeth: Yeah. I guess Robin broke up with him a couple days ago to move in to Wyndemere with Nikolas.

Lucky: That doesn't make sense.

Elizabeth: I -- you know, they have been friends for an awful long time. Maybe it was more than anyone realized.

Lucky: Well, I hope you're wrong, because I don't think Emily and Nikolas would be happy without each other.

Elizabeth: Yeah.

Lucky: Like I wouldn't be happy without you.

Elizabeth, Lucky and Cameron continue in a scene.
