January 15, 2008 Screencaps

Nadine: Okay, great. Perfect! Thank you so much.

Nikolas: Nurse Crowell, good to see you.

Nadine: Hi, right back at you.

Nikolas: Has the -- has the board meeting started yet? I'm late, but I'd like to make an appearance, if I could.

Nadine: Oh, it must be your lucky night. They haven't even started yet.

Nikolas: Oh. So what's got you so chipper?

Nadine: I just got ticket to a sold-out Chieftains game for this weekend.

Nikolas: Local basketball, right?

Nadine: Uh-uh, hockey. I take it you've never been to one of their games?

Nikolas: No, no. No, I haven’t. Actually, I've never gone to a hockey game, period.

Nadine: Oh, man, you're missing out. I love hockey, especially when the players start throwing punches and knocking each other against the boards. Oh, my gosh, it's great. And one time, I even caught a puck. It was -- um -- I will see you later.

Nikolas: Okay.

Emily: See? Hockey games. Huh. Just one more thing you haven't gotten to do yet. That's why you can't give up hope that Patrick's going to help you.

Nikolas: Spencer's supposed to be tested to see if he has the genetic marker for the tumor. The doctors say it usually doesn't show -- show up before the age of 5, unless -- unless it's passed directly from the parent. I should have brought him in by now.

Emily: But you're afraid to.

Nikolas: Well, what I'm afraid of is losing him, like I lost you. And maybe -- maybe my father passed it along to me. Maybe that's why he was so crazy all the time. I don't know how I could live with myself knowing that I gave something to my son that could possibly kill him.

Leyla: Mr. Cassadine?

Nikolas: Yeah?

Leyla: Hi. Um -- Ms. Sneed sent me to tell you that the board meeting's been postponed. Apparently, half the board isn't here yet, so --

Nikolas: What -- what --

Leyla: We're going to page Dr. Ford and --

Nikolas: What the hell is wrong with this place? What, you people can't be bothered to meet and discuss the future of this hospital?

Emily: Nikolas, stop.

Nikolas: No, no, I'm not going to -- why -- why should I keep pouring money into this place if nobody knows how to use it?

Robin: Nikolas, calm down.

Nikolas: What? What? No, why should I make adjustments for everybody else around here?

Emily: Because you're sick.

Patrick: Because you're sick.

Nikolas: Who the hell are you? Aren't you supposed to be a -- a doctor or something? What -- what exactly have you been doing except canceling all my appointments and nailing every nurse you can get your hands on?

Robin: Nikolas -- all right, we're going to find someplace for you to lie down.

Nikolas: No, no, I don't want to lie down!

Patrick: Robin –

Nikolas: What happened?

Patrick: Get away from her.

Leyla: He had another blackout.

Patrick: Leyla and Nadine, get me a gurney. We need to get Robin to an exam room.

Robin: I'm fine. Don't be ridiculous.

Patrick: No, you're not. We need to get you checked out. You need to do the same.

Nikolas: I'm sorry.

Patrick: Hey.

Nikolas: I'm sorry.

Leyla: I know.

Nikolas: Did you see this?

Leyla: There really wasn't much to see. I mean, you seemed agitated, you were rubbing your head, and when I first walked in, you seemed to be talking to someone, but there was nobody here.

Emily: I tried to stop you.

Nikolas: I know. After you died, the blackouts stopped. Seeing you seemed to calm me down. But not this time. It's getting worse.

Patrick: Hey, the E.R.'s on lockdown. You know what's going on?

Robin: Just that they're not letting anyone into the hospital and they're not evacuating anyone, either. It's probably just a false alarm.

Patrick: Yeah, maybe. Look, I don't want to sound overprotective or out of line, but have you got checked out since your fall?

Robin: No. I'm too busy going over Dr. Lippman's notes for Nikolas. So he has an inoperable tumor and I really don't think they're going to find anything else.

Patrick: Yeah, I'm convinced there's something else there, something's hiding on us. Nadine's taking blood right now and I'm going to try and get another sample under altered circumstances.

Robin: What does that mean?

Patrick: I'm going to try and take blood while Nikolas is having one of his angry episodes.

Robin: And how are you going to do that? I mean, they're too random to predict.

Patrick: I'm going to try and bring one on.

Nadine: Dr. Drake wanted me to draw some blood.

Nikolas: Oh.

Nadine: So I guess princes don't have time for things like hockey games?

Nikolas: No, not -- not Cassadine princes. We're too occupied with brooding, living in big houses on foggy islands, or we're too busy making asses of ourselves in public.

Nadine: Hmm. Well, it sounds, uh --

Nikolas: What?

Nadine: Lonely? No wonder you talk to yourself.

Nikolas: Excuse me?

Nadine: Uh -- I'm sorry. I didn't mean anything by it. I was just wondering -- are you talking to yourself, or are you talking to Emily?
