September 28, 2007 Screencaps

Emily: So far, so good.

Elizabeth: It definitely has curb appeal, I'll give you that much. There's no way I'm going to walk into the first house I look at and fall in love.

Emily: Oh, you don't know that. And why the negativity?

Elizabeth: Realism. I've learned the hard way not to get my hopes up. It only makes the inevitable crash landing that much harder.

Elizabeth: Wow. I think you might be psychic because you just found a perfect house.

Emily: Yeah? Well, all I did was call the realtor. She said that the house just went on the market as a rental.

Elizabeth: What happened to the previous tenants?

Emily: The father was transferred to Tokyo, so he had to move the entire family on short notice. We lucked out, Elizabeth, to be able to be the first people who see this place? And the realtor says it's not going to be on the market for very long. I think it's perfect.

Elizabeth: There's got to be a catch.

Emily: Oh, there you go again.

Elizabeth: The upstairs bathrooms are probably disgusting.

Emily: Elizabeth, I'm trying to hear what you're really saying to me, and it's perfectly understandable if you've changed your mind about living on your own.

Marty: Mr. Cassadine?

Nikolas: Yes?

Marty: How are you enjoying your new offices?

Nikolas: Very pleased, thank you.

Marty: Great, great to hear it. Our leasing department has ordered the plasma televisions that you requested, and we expect to have them installed by the end of the week.

Nikolas: Excellent. Thank you.

Marty: Please don't hesitate to let us know if we can do anything else.

Nikolas: Okay.

Logan: Nikolas? Listen, I know you've never considered me a good match for Lulu and I -- I know that I've screwed up, but I just care about the girl so much -- ooh!

Nikolas: You stay the hell away from my sister!

Scott: All right, come here, come here, get up, get up.

Nikolas: I'm not going to tell you again.

Scott: All right -- all right, take it easy, take it easy. All right, all right. All right, everybody, show's over. Show's over. So what did you do? What did you do to Cassadine to get him all bent out of shape?

Logan: Oh -- I -- I just approached him, man, to -- to apologize for hurting Lulu. The guy's got a freaking screw loose, dude! He -- second time he's almost killed me.

Scott: Well, let me just give you a little free advice here, okay? The Cassadines are inbred psychopaths and they have a lot of money -- that makes them dangerous. The Spencers are working class, but they're prone to violence, you see? So what it boils down to is you have really messed up. You hurt Lulu, they care about her. So if I was you, I would slither out of town quietly and quickly before somebody else goes off on you!

Logan: You'd like that, wouldn't you? Well, you and Nikolas can both forget that, all right? There's no way that I'm going to give up on the best thing that's ever happened to me just because the family's a bunch of idiots!

Scott: You know, you're missing the point, and if I spoke lizard, I'd put it in your own language, but I don’t. So understand this -- you jerked around a pretty girl that everybody in this town loves.

Logan: I got it! I screwed up, all right? But what nobody seems to want to care about or -- or listen to is the fact that I care about her so much, all right, but that doesn't make me a saint. I was attracted to Maxie, I slept with her, but mostly just to shut her up.

Scott: You got a lot of excuses there, don't you?

Logan: Look, I did not know how much I cared about Lulu until after I'd already agreed to do the deal with Maxie. I was wrong, but that doesn't make me the first guy in history to have, you know, bad judgment or lousy timing.

Scott: Well, you got that right.

Emily: So much for your theory about the bathrooms -- they're beautiful.

Elizabeth: The whole house is.

Emily: Okay, so you dodged the question earlier. Are you still having second thoughts?

Elizabeth: No.

Emily: Okay. That was definitive.

Elizabeth: Are you thinking that I should wait on my divorce, that maybe Lucky and I should try things again? Because there is nothing left to try. We really are over.

Emily: No, no, no, it's just that Nikolas has been so volatile lately, and I think part of it's a reaction off of you and Lucky.

Elizabeth: Oh. Well, I hope he doesn't blame himself. I mean, yes, it was his cousin Sam who went out of her way to seduce Lucky, but that's certainly not Nikolas' fault.

Emily: Yeah.

Elizabeth: What it all comes down to is that it's just better for everyone, especially the boys, if we end the marriage while there's still a friendship to preserve. And I think this house will make a great place to start over.

Emily: Then I'm glad we found it.

Elizabeth: I'm not going to deny that I'm a little nervous about being on my own, but I'm kind of looking forward to it. You know, a new life in a new house -- it's a little exciting.

Emily: I can see that.

Elizabeth: And fortunately the divorce won't be acrimonious. Lucky's not going to contest it.

Kate: Reporting for duty. Where would you like me to start?

Epiphany: Well, you can get changed first.

Kate: Into what?

Epiphany: Scrubs -- and then Room 219 needs cleaning.

Kate: Oh, I'm sorry, I think there's been a mistake -- I don't clean. Well, I'm in -- I'm in publishing, so it follows that my skills would be much better utilized in public relations -- I told you before.

Epiphany: You -- you "told" me?

Kate: I suggested. Merely, merely suggested. If -- if you don't think that it's wise for me to be dealing with the media after a drunk driving conviction -- not that I was guilty, mind you -- then I would be happy being an administrative assistant. Early in my career, I had a fair amount of experience with paperwork, and my phone manner is extremely polished.

Epiphany: I am short one orderly. You get to fulfill that position. Get changed, and get to work.

Elizabeth: The locker room is down the hall, and you will find a basket of scrubs by the door, but I suggest you purchase your own.

Kate: Thank you.

Emily: I have a feeling that Kate Howard is going to be in for quite a culture shock.

Elizabeth: I'd say it's already begun.

Emily: Hmm. You calling the realtor?

Elizabeth: I'm going to take that house.

Elizabeth: The realtor accepted my deposit.

Emily gasps.

Emily: Congratulations!

Elizabeth: Thank you. So can you help me on Saturday? Because I want to move in as soon as possible.

Emily: Hey, is there a message from Nikolas?

Elizabeth: Not that I know of.

Emily: He was supposed to meet me for my break.

Elizabeth: Well, I'm sure he just got held up. I wouldn't read too much into it.

Emily: Yeah, I know it's not a big deal, but he's been acting so erratic lately, Elizabeth. It's not like him not to call.

Nikolas: Any calls for me?

Alfred: From the management of the Metro Court about the fight.

Nikolas: What fight?

Alfred: Apparently, you -- you attacked this Logan Hayes in the middle of the lobby.

Nikolas: Well, I remember seeing Logan. I remember him walking up to me and saying something, but that's it. I don't remember anything about a fight. The last thing I remember is being on the launch on my way back here.

Emily: I'm sure Nikolas is fine. I'm just going to stop worrying and questioning him -- it just makes him more irritable.

Elizabeth: And I'm going to page you if he calls.

Emily: Okay. Thank you.

Elizabeth: You're welcome.

Scene continues with Elizabeth and Lucky.
