October 2, 2007 Screencaps

Emily: If there's one person that Jerry might be honest with, it's you. So I was hoping that you could ask him if there is a weird side effect that could be the reason for Nikolas' behavior. Because it's getting worse, Jax, and I'm afraid of what could happen next.

Nikolas: Why are you talking to Jax about me?

Jax: She was just asking me about Jerry --

Nikolas: I specifically heard you say something about me getting worse. So what is it you think you can find out?

Robin: Has someone been going through my patient charts? This was supposed to have been filed this morning.

Epiphany: Well, they were all supposed to be filed. If Nurse Molina doesn't take -- get to it in the next half an hour, I'll write her up and --

Robin: Nurse Molina has worked on the 10th floor for over a month. If she doesn't know our system, find another nurse that does. Nikolas Cassadine’s chart was right on the top. I didn't put it there.

Epiphany: Well, you might want to talk to Emily Quartermaine.

Robin: Emily Quartermaine is not Nikolas' doctor. She lives with him. I mean, looking at his charts is not only a bad idea, it's borderline unethical.

Epiphany: Well, you're not going to get any argument out of me. But you might want to take it up with Emily.

Robin: Since when do you refrain from expressing your opinion to the staff, especially the interns?

Epiphany: Okay, Dr. Scorpio, I understand that you and Drake Jr. have broken up, and you're feeling all out of sorts about that, but the sooner that you stop taking it out on me and everyone else, the better it will be for the people you work with and everyone else, not to mention the patients.

Emily: I have no idea what's wrong, Nikolas. All I know is that you've been having these emotional outbursts, and it's not like you.

Nikolas: Then why discuss it with him and not me?

Jax: Look, Emily was worried that your health might be compromised by the poison my brother was injecting you with. She asked me to speak to Jerry. Now, I'm sorry if this is uncomfortable for you, but it might be worth looking into.

Nikolas: Well, if you would have bothered to talk to me first, I could have told you that Robin ran some blood tests, which all came back clear.

Emily: I know, Nikolas. I ran across your test results at work. Since you ran those tests without confiding in me, I thought that you might not be willing to have an open conversation about it. And then, I found out that you attacked Logan Hayes for a second time.

Nikolas: That's right, I did. Because he humiliated my sister and broke her heart.

Jax: Well, is it rational to attack someone in public and have to be pulled off of him? I think you need help, Nikolas, whether you want to admit that, or not.

Nikolas: I already spoke with Jerry about the poison. He was very amused, by the way. And in his opinion, the poison was developed just to kill people, that's it. There are no known lasting side effects.

Emily: Jerry lies whenever it suits him, Nikolas. He might be truthful with his own brother.

Jax: Look, I'd be willing to try.

Nikolas: The two of you are overreacting here. Have I had a short fuse lately? Yes. But Robin's tests show that I'm perfectly healthy, so maybe I'm just a little stressed. You really want to help? Keep your damn brother away from me. That certainly will ease a bit of my tension.

Jax: Okay. If you change your mind about questioning Jerry, just let me know.

Emily: Nikolas, I'm so --

Nikolas: Don't you ever go behind my back again.

Emily: Anything for me?

Epiphany: Other than Dr. Scorpio having a meltdown because you looked at her patient's lab results?

Robin sighs.

Robin: Okay, maybe I overreacted a bit. But it wasn't just any patient, it was Nikolas. Which is probably why you couldn't help but look in the first place.

Emily: Well, there is the matter of patient confidentiality. I'm sorry.

Robin: The truth is if something was happening with the man that I love -- moot point.

Emily: Still, I should have asked you first.

Robin: It's okay, it's done. Don't worry about it. But I'm sure you saw that everything's fine. His blood work was clean.

Emily: No, but he's not fine, Robin. There's something wrong.

Robin: Why do you say that?

Emily: Oh, he's had mood swings, these extreme outbursts of anger where he just flies off the handle. He's broken things, and it's getting worse. He's getting physically violent with people.

Emily: Look, I understand that you felt betrayed, but --

Nikolas: There's something really important I need to ask you. This afternoon at the Metro Court, who left first, me or you?

Emily: You did, Nikolas. Why do you even -- you don't remember?

Nikolas: No. No, I don’t. I mean, I remember -- I remember talking with you and Jax. And the next thing, I'm at the damn coffee house, and I don't know how I got there.

Emily: Um -- what are we going to do?

Nikolas: I -- I don't know. I don't know, but there's something really wrong. With the anger and -- and now I'm losing time. I don't know what the hell's the matter with me.
