"Lucky -- he doesn't love Elizabeth anymore. "
**Sorry no screen captures due to bad reception**

Gia: {Walk onto the yacht} Can you believe Lucky and Elizabeth?

Nikolas: Never seen her so happy.

Gia: Yeah, but getting married on New Year's eve?

Nikolas: They love each other. Why not?

Gia: So, then, you think it's a good idea?

Nikolas: Well, Lucky's been telling us to elope since day one.

Gia: Ok, so why aren't he and Elizabeth in front of the justice of the peace right now?

Nikolas: Elizabeth wants a real wedding.

Gia: So why doesn't she give herself some time to plan more?

Nikolas: It's their wedding, not ours.

Gia: So you're happy for them?

Nikolas: Yes, I am very happy.

Gia: Well, you don't seem joyous.

Nikolas: I will be, ok?

Gia: When?

Nikolas: God, will you stop, please? {He walks around her}

Gia: You know, I picked up on some pretty serious vibes between you and Lucky.

Nikolas: Ok, so is that unusual? What?

Gia: Nikky, what's going on?

~*~

Nikolas: Nothing is going on with Lucky, ok? Now, we have a lot of work to do, so let's do it.

Gia: {Follows him} Ok, stop me when this sounds familiar. Lucky's in trouble, Nikolas knows all about it, and, well, nobody trusts Gia --

Nikolas: It isn't like that, Gia.

Gia: Well, then tell me what it is like.

Nikolas: It's not my place, all right?

Gia: Nikolas, we can't keep secrets from each other. Not now, ok? Just, please, let me help.

Nikolas: Fine. You have to promise me you will not say anything. You have to promise me that, Gia.

Gia: I promise.

Nikolas: Lucky -- he doesn't love Elizabeth anymore.

~*~

Nikolas: Lucky remembers what it was like to love her, but now he just --

Gia: Well, maybe they're just not in sync.

Nikolas: He doesn't love her, Gia, and it's my fault.

Gia: Why is that?

Nikolas: I asked Helena to make him stop loving her. And I certainly -- I don't know. I didn't believe that she could really do it.

Gia: Well, you were trying to save his life.

Nikolas: I still should have found a better way.

Gia: Does Elizabeth know what happened?

Nikolas: Elizabeth was -- she was there, but she thinks that he got over it.

Gia: {Walks toward him} So she believes that he loves her?

Nikolas: Look, Elizabeth cannot know the truth. Not now. I mean, Lucky still thinks that it may come back.

Gia: Well, what if it doesn't?

Nikolas: He says he owes her a perfect life, Gia.

Gia: You can't possibly let your brother go through with this. Come on, Nikolas. They can't get married.

~*~

Nikolas: Gia, don't make me sorry I told you this.

Gia: But if Lucky doesn't really love her --

Nikolas: It's Lucky's call. All right? Not mine.

Gia: How can we stand up at their wedding when we know?

Nikolas: Look, whatever you're thinking, don't. Ok?

Elizabeth: {Her and Lucky walk in the room} Hey. So, we're having the wedding at Laura's house.

Lucky: Yeah, mom seems to think that it's a great idea.

Elizabeth: Everything is set and ready to go.

Gia: No, it isn't.

Elizabeth: What's that supposed to mean? {Nikolas just looks at Gia}
