{Lizzie overhears Sarah and Emily talking about what might happen when Nikolas takes Sarah up to his family's retreat house. Knowing she was behind this--by planting the condoms to begin with--Lizzie becomes frantic and decides to go after them}
 

Lizzie:  "Ruby, I've got to leave right away."

Ruby:  "No, you don't. You've got a couple more hours on your shift."

Lizzie:  "It's a family emergency. Really. Listen, I'll work a double shift on Saturday if you want, but I've really got to go. Please? {Ruby nods} Oh, thank you." {She takes off her apron and starts to leave}

Lucky: {Stopping her on her way out} "Elizabeth? You keep pushing Ruby to fire you and she will."

Lizzie:  "I don't care. Sarah's in trouble, and she needs me."

Lucky:  "What kind of trouble? {She gets her coat and heads out the door} Elizabeth, what-- {Turning to Ruby} I'm going to go see if she's ok." {Following her}
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Lucky: {Getting inside the car} "The key is upside down."

Lizzie:  "Oh. Thanks."

Lucky:  "Your grandmother's car?"

Lizzie:  "No, it's my grandfather's. Sarah left it here when she went off with the evil Prince in his Ferrari or whatever. Gram leaves the key in the bumper, so--"

Lucky:  "She doesn't mind you driving her car without a license?"

Lizzie:  "I've got a learner's permit."

Lucky:  "Not quite the same thing to the cops."

Lizzie:  "Lucky, this is an emergency."

Lucky:  "A family emergency, right? Because that's what you told Ruby."

Lizzie:  "Yeah, so I've got to go, ok?"

Lucky:  "Not until you explain what you meant when you said Sarah's in trouble."

Lizzie:  "She is in trouble, or at least will be soon enough."

Lucky: "What kind of trouble?"

Lizzie:  "Who would you rather kidnap Sarah? Freddy Krueger or Nikolas Cassadine?"

Lucky:  "The Kruegerman, hands down. But when Sarah left Ruby tonight, she wasn't exactly kicking and screaming."

Lizzie:  "Yeah, well, she will be as soon as Nik gets her alone. He's taking her to his family's retreat, wherever that is. It's probably some torture chamber with bars on the windows and--" {She sighs deeply}

Lucky:  "I know the place. My dad's been there."

Lizzie:  "Oh, great. Then you can give me directions."

Lucky:  "You know what? I'll just tell you as we go."

Lizzie:  "Lucky, that's really nice, but you don't have to come along."

Lucky:  "No, hey, I insist. Now let's go. Come on." {Lizzie rolls her eyes and reluctantly starts the car}

Lucky:  "I wasn't just giving you a hard time before when I told you to slow down, I meant it!"

Lizzie:  {Aggravated} "Do you want to drive?"

Lucky:  "Well, that might be the best idea you've had so far."

Lizzie:  "How much further is this place?"

Lucky:  "It's only about another five miles."

Lizzie:  "Are you kidding me? God, we're never going to make it."

Lucky: {The car starts to slide} "Whoa, Elizabeth! Wait, wait."

Lizzie:  "Let me just put the brakes on."

Lucky: "No no, no, no, don't hit the brakes, just turn the wheel. Just turn the wheel. Just turn the wheel." {Lucky grabs the wheel and the car goes off the road}

Lizzie: {Spinning the tires} "Great we're stuck."

Lucky:  "You're just making it worse."

Lizzie:  "I come from Colorado, I know how to drive in ice." {Tires spin}

Lucky:  "You mind if I try?"

Lizzie:  "I said I can do it! {Lucky holds up his hands} Come on. Catch." {Tires spin}

Lucky:  "Ok, look, you want to sit here and work out your frustrations, that's fine. It'll probably be good for you. But as for me, I'm going to get help for us and Sarah. I'll see if I can find my dad." {Starting to get out of the car}

Lizzie:  "Wait! Your dad? For what?"

Lucky:  "Why are we here, Elizabeth? You said you were worried that Sarah was in trouble at the Cassadine retreat house, right? Yeah." {He starts to get out again}

Lizzie: {Stopping him} "Wait, wait."

Lucky:  "What."

Lizzie: {Pausing for a long moment} "I exaggerated. Sarah's not in actual danger from the Cassadines."

Lucky:  "You told me that Nikolas--"

Lizzie:  "I know, I know.  I know what I told you. I'm sorry. Sarah arranged to meet Nikolas."

Lucky:  "Oh, so they're on a date."

Lizzie:  "Yeah. A major date, though. I think she's going to go to bed with him."

Lucky:  "And you dragged me out here for what reason?"

Lizzie:  "I did not drag you."

Lucky: {Starting to get angry} "Ok. Elizabeth, you knew that if I thought Sarah was in trouble that I'd come here."

Lizzie:  "She is in trouble!"

Lucky:  "Which is it?"

Lizzie:  "Listen, Sarah's about to make a terrible mistake tonight. I have got to stop her, and you have got to help me."

Lizzie:  "I overheard Sarah telling Emily that she was going to meet Nikolas at his family's retreat. Lucky, they were talking about using condoms."

Lucky: {Covering his ears, closing his eyes, and shaking his head} "I don't want hear it. I don't want to hear a thing about it. {Talking to himself} I can't believe I let her hustle me out here."

Lizzie:  "Lucky, I'm worried about my sister."

Lucky:  "Since when?"

Lizzie:  "Oh, and just for the record, I didn't ask you to come along."

Lucky:  "Oh, no, you just made up some cock-and-bull story about how Nikolas lured Sarah out to his family retreat to harm her, and I'm gullible enough to believe you." {He slaps his forhead in frustration}

Lizzie:  "Which means what? You don't care if the two of them sleep together?"

Lucky:  "What are you, the sex police?  Look, if Sarah is naive enough to fall for his act, it's their business."

Lizzie:  "I thought you cared about her."

Lucky:  "I do. Believe me, I do. That's why I wouldn't break down their door to keep her from sleeping with him. What were you thinking? What could you possibly be--you know what? I don't even want to know what you were thinking. You know, you weren't thinking. You're just doing what you always do, which is being jealous of your sister."

Lizzie:  "Oh, you don't know anything about that."

Lucky:  "Oh, no? Well, let me tell you something, little lady--the luckiest thing that ever happened to you is that you lost control of this car, because if I had ended up {Sighing, he covers his eyes} --you know what? Never mind. Just--you just be damn glad we didn't end up there."

Lizzie: {With a shaky voice} "This is all my fault."

Lucky:  "Well, you got that right."

Lizzie:  "I mean about Nikolas and Sarah."

Lucky:  "Spare me."

Lizzie:  "I started this whole thing. I'm the one who put the condoms in Nikolas' shopping bag at Halloween, and then he thought that Sarah put them there. That's why--that's why he invited her tonight. Oh God." {Putting her head in her hands}

Lucky:  "I really don't want to hear this." {He gets out of the car and slams the door}
 
 
 
 
 

Lucky: {Getting back into the car, and finding Lizzie still very upset} "Didn't anybody ever tell you it's not good to cry and drive?"

Lizzie:  "You came back."

Lucky:  "Of course."

Lizzie:  "You were so exasperated with me."

Lucky:  "I still am. But Spencer men don't abandon women who are stranded alone in their cars. I found a house right down the street, and I called a tow truck. They should be here pretty soon."

Lizzie: {Looking at him} "Thanks."

Lucky:  "It's cold in here. Why don't you turn up the heat?"

Lizzie:  "I didn't notice. Lucky, listen, I'm really sorry for everything I did. And, you know, I know you don't believe me, but it's the truth. I don't know what came over me."

Lucky:  "Elizabeth, it's the same thing that always does. You're just going to have to face it--you got a terminal case of jealousy. You got to do something about it."

Lizzie: {Upset} "I know, I know. And I'm trying. It just seems like even before I realize it, I'm all caught up in it again."

Lucky:  "You know what I don't get is that you go and instigate all this trouble, and then you just do a 180 and go running to Sarah's rescue."

Lizzie:  "There's a lot of things about my relationship with my sister you don't understand."

Lucky:  "I think there are a lot of things about your and Sarah's relationship that you don't understand, Elizabeth."

Lizzie:  "Yeah, you're probably right."

Lucky:  "I am."

Lizzie: "I didn't mean for it to go this far. It was supposed to be a joke, you know putting the condoms in Nikolas' shopping bag, and it was funny at the time."

Lucky:  "I guess you had to be there."

Lizzie:  "You think I'm a terrible person, don't you?"

Lucky:  "I think you're pretty screwed up, yeah."

Lizzie:  "Well, you know, you should try living with an older sister who's always being held up to you as the perfect example."

Lucky:  "You know, I've heard that one before, Elizabeth, and to tell you the truth, it's getting pretty stale."

Lizzie:  "Yeah, you're right there's no excuse. I was angry, and I lost my head. Just do me a favor, though, ok? Stop acting so mature, because I know better. I know that you're crazy about my sister and that you hate Nikolas, so stop pretending like it doesn't matter that she chose him over you."

Lucky: {Getting angry again} "That is not the point! That's not even close to the point. You know what the point is? It's that I wouldn't do something this sloppy and out of control."

Lizzie:  "Right, you are so noble. I'd love to see how you'd feel if you and Nikolas actually lived together as brothers and your mother always held him up as the smart one, the nice one, and the handsome one."

Lucky:  "You know what? Believe it or not Elizabeth, I understand. You know, and there are probably good reasons for it. Believe me, I know. But going about it this way is not getting you anywhere. I mean, why don't you just try being yourself, living your own life? {The tow truck approaches} Here's the tow truck. Listen, when they pull us out and get us on the road, you have a choice. We're almost to the Cassadine retreat house. Now, I'm going back home. What about you?"
 
 
 
 
 
 

Lizzie: {They walk into Kelly's to find Ruby standing there waiting} "Ruby. I know. I know. {She turns and walks off} This is turning out to be the perfect day, you know? Sarah loses her virginity, and it looks like I just lost my job."

Lucky: {Pretending to play the violin} "Poor Elizabeth. {The door opens and Nikolas and Sarah walk in} Ah--looks like Nikolas is some quick worker, ain't he?"

Lizzie:  "That's not funny."

{Sarah then tells Lizzie that she and Nikolas figured out she was behind the condoms and that they didn't use them}
