Nikolas: Elizabeth's testimony shouldn't be taking this long.
Sam: It's going to take as long as it takes. I just -- I don’t understand how Ric can do this. I mean, he -- he claims to have loved Elizabeth at one point in his life, and now he's forcing her to swear in open court that she was unfaithful to Lucky? What?
Door opens.
Lucky: I do not want --
Nikolas: Expecting someone else?
Lucky: You know what? I don't even know what to expect anymore. I'm just glad that the kids -- the kids -- that -- thank God they're at Lesley’s. I just don't even know what to say to them. They're just too young to understand anyway -- I don't even understand anymore.
Nikolas: I know. I'm sure it's all quite a shock to you.
Lucky: Why were you at the courthouse? Huh. How long have you known that my wife has been cheating on me with -- with Jason?
Nikolas: The night that Elizabeth slept with Jason, there was a blackout, remember? You remember. She -- Lucky, she came --

Nikolas: Stop it -- she came home and opened the door to her own house and found you with Maxie. Where -- where did you expect her to go?
Lucky: Not to go straight to Jason Morgan!
Nikolas: I know, I -- but even after that night, Lucky, you -- you threw Maxie right in -- right in Elizabeth's face, day in and day out -- and you were taking pills. She turned her life upside down for you when everyone else had already given up! I wouldn't judge her too harshly right now if I were you.
Lucky: Elizabeth married me.

Lucky: She married me in this house, right here! It was the best thing that ever happened. I thought we got back everything we lost, but the entire time she was lying to me! How long have you known?
Nikolas: I've known -- I've known for a while now.
Lucky: You're my brother! Why didn't you tell me?
Nikolas: Why? Because I was afraid you'd start taking pills again, Lucky. You were strung out for an entire summer, and then you went to rehab -- what do you want me to do? Elizabeth and I were afraid that if you had a relapse, it would just destroy you, okay? I couldn't take the risk of telling you the truth -- and neither could she.
Lucky: So you think Elizabeth lied about cheating with Jason to protect me?
