{Lizzie wanders inside the courtyard at Kelly's and then walks inside. She goes to the counter and sits down}

Ruby:  "Can I help you?"

Elizabeth:  "Yeah, I’ll have a draft. {Ruby gives her a look} A beer? Oh, well, whatever's on tap or in a bottle's fine with me. {Ruby's not buying the act} Oh, that's right. You're probably wanting to see my I.D., and I understand. But, you see, I left my license in my jacket, and my jacket's at home. I could bring it to you tomorrow if it means that much to you."

Ruby: {Putting down a can of root beer in front of her} "Drink up, hot shot." {Lizzie turns the can around and rolls her eyes}

{Lizzie comes back out into the courtyard and lights a cigarette}

Lucky: {From the shadows} "Better be careful. You could stunt your growth."

Lizzie: {Turning} "Is there a reason you care?"

Lucky: {Coming into the light next to her} "Uh-uh."

Lizzie:  {Checking him out} "Oh. Well, that's too bad. What's your name?"

Lucky:  "Lucky."

Lizzie: {Smiling} "We'll see."

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Lucky:  "You think you're pretty funny, don't you?"

Lizzie:  "Oh, I’m much more than funny.  I didn’t hurt your feelings, did I?"

Lucky:  "I think I can take it."

Lizzie: {Looking him up and down} "Yeah, but can you dish it out?"

Lucky: {Laughing} "You know, I think those cigarettes are doing something to your head."

Lizzie:  "Oh, God, not the cigarettes again. What are you, one of those secondary smoke freaks?"

Lucky:  "You know what? You're right. I mean, if you want to fry your lungs, I just--I hope you have a good time." {Walking around her}

Lizzie:  "Well, you, certainly know what to say to a girl."

Lucky:  "Only ones with ashtray breath."

Lizzie: {She waves the smoke out of the way} "Oh. Like you could really smell it from all the way over there. {She drops the cigarette} Um--God, you know, I’m really thirsty. Do you know a place where we can go get a beer?"

Lucky:  "Yeah."

Lizzie:  "Ok."

Lucky:  "You gotta be kidding me."

Lizzie:  "Wait. Don't tell me you have something against beer, too."

Lucky: {Amused} "No, I don't care. It's just that, uh--I can't imagine someone like you being arrested."

Lizzie:  "Ok, well, then how about just a soda? I mean, anyplace but this dump."

Lucky:  "What's wrong with Kelly’s?"

Lizzie:  "How about the crone behind the counter?"

Lucky:  "Ruby."

Lizzie:  "Like I need to know her name."

Lucky:  "What, uh, what did she do to you?"

Lizzie:  "She didn't serve me."

Lucky: {Making a face} "The nerve. Who cares that she could lose her liquor license if she served someone underage."

Lizzie:  "Well, I don't see any cops here. Anyways, who cares about her? She's just a pathetic old hag who has nothing to do but push people around."

Lucky:   "You think so?"

Lizzie:  "Oh, I know so. Why are we talking about that old buzzard, anyways?"

Lucky:  "She's my aunt." {Lizzie looks uncomfortable}

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Lizzie: "I am really sorry. I didn't know that the old--I mean, that woman was related to you."

Lucky:  "I know you didn't. Just don't do it again."

Lizzie:  "Ok. From now on, she's, like, my favorite person."

Lucky:  "You don't have to overdo it."

Lizzie:  "Really, though, I  was totally out of line."

Lucky:  "Look, it's no big deal. So you owe me one."

Lizzie: {Getting flirty again} "Well then, any ideas on how I can pay you back?"

Lucky: {Casually} "Uh, new computer, yeah."

Lizzie:  {Laughing} "How about some new jewelry? {Reaching for his bracelet} Anybody ever tell you beads aren't making it anymore?"

Lucky: {Looking down at his bracelet then back at her} "My little sister made that for me."

Lizzie: {Uncomfortable again} "Oh. Well, let's see, is the anyone else in your family I haven't insulted?"

Lucky:  "A few. But I have confidence in you."

Lizzie:  "So--how old's your little sister?"

Lucky:  "She turned 3 last week. She's over in Europe, quite a ways away. You have any brothers or sisters?"

Lizzie: {Rolling her eyes} "None worth mentioning."

Lucky:  "I have one of those, too."

Lizzie:  "I bet he's a brother."

Lucky:  "Now, how would you know that?"

Lizzie: {Smiling at him} "Because if it was a sister, she'd have to be crazy about you."
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Lizzie:  "Are you always this funny?"

Lucky:  "That wasn't funny."

Lizzie:  "Well, if you ever do decide to go on stage, I promise I’ll be in the front row every single night."

Lucky: "I’ll put you on my mailing list."

Lizzie:  "Well, I have to go."

Lucky: "Ok. You live around here?"

Lizzie:  "You can't come over, if that's what you're thinking."

Lucky:  "I was wondering how you got here."

Lizzie:  "I drove."

Lucky:  "Oh. You have a car."

Lizzie:  "Yeah. Doesn't everybody?"

Lucky:  "So, you have a license."

Lizzie:  "Well, I don't know about you, but I find little details like that really boring."

Lucky:  "What, did you steal the family wheels?"

Lizzie:  "Oh, sorry, that's my secret. You don't actually hang out here, do you?"

Lucky:  "Quite a bit."

Lizzie:  "Really. Well, work on that for next time, will you? Bye." {She starts to leave}

Lucky:  "Wait. What's your name?"

Lizzie:  "My name? Uma Thurman."

Lucky:  "Uma. Well, it was nice to meet you."

Lizzie:  "Same here. I guess this was my 'lucky' night." {He goes into Kelly's to the counter and Lizzie stands in the doorway looking in, smiling}

{She gets home and is busted by Audrey for having taken the car. She informs Audrey that she has decided to stay in Port Charles for a while. She and Sarah bicker about her behavior and then when she is alone, Lizzie grabs a pen and some paper, draws a heart, and puts Lizzie + Lucky in the middle, smiling all the while}
