Gia Meets Helena
By Suzy
First scene when Helena sees Nikolas and Gia together at
the hospital. Gia just finished visiting with her
mother.
Nikolas: (runs to Gia) Hey, How did it go?
Gia: Oh the good news is I told her the truth
Nikolas: yeah, so
Gia: The bad news is, she freaked so I took it back
Nikolas: And that worked?
Gia: I'm an excellent liar, getting better every day
Nikolas: (He takes Gia's hand) Listen, it all comes down to
trusting your instincts. You'll level with your mother
when the timing feels right (Helena spots them and she
is shocked)
Gia: Yeah hopefully before she buys a new outfit for
my Supreme Court swearing in.
(Nikolas laughs and Helena approaches)
Helena: Well Nikolas my darling, I've missed you. And
who's your little companion, a hospital employee?
{Next Scene}
Gia: I'm Chief of Neuro Surgery
Helena: Well in that case I would know you but I don't
Gia: Well then you recently had a brain operation
(Helena looks at Nikolas)
Nikolas: She's a friend
Gia: With a name, what's yours?
Nikolas: This is Gia
Helena: (very sarcastic) Oh you're Sicilian.( Nikolas & Gia
give her a angry look) And where's your family from?
Gia: Brooklyn and yours?
Helena: Greece, but it's close to Sicily. (Looks at
Nikolas again) You shouldn't try so hard to fit in my
darling
Nikolas: (tries to grab Helena's arm) I'll walk you to the
elevator
Helena: There are certain family traditions to uphold
Nikolas: I am well aware of the Cassadine legacy,
Intrigue, murder betrayal
Gia: You must have one scary coat of arms
Helena: Your little friend lacks polish among other
things
Nikolas: This conversation is finished
Helena: No, no it has just begun unless I have managed
to make my point
Nikolas: Are you going to leave or should I call security
Helena: Nikolas have you forgotten I am acting head of
this institution and I'm also the executor of your
estate
Nikolas: And you don't get to choose my associates
Helena: Associates!
Nikolas: Yes, my friends, the women I date, whoever I
marry! Are we clear
Helena: Marry
Gia: (looking at Nikolas) Don't get carried away now. I'm
extremely selective and what makes you think you even
make the cut (Nikolas gets a confused look on his face)
Helena: Dabble wherever you wish my darling but
Marriage......
Gia: (To Helena) Nobody Dabbles with me!!!
Helena: Young lady I'm going to ask you to leave!
Nikolas: How dare you dismiss a friend of mine!!
Helena: Nikolas, have you forgotten who you are?
Nikolas: Not at all, but apparently you have!!
Next scene
Nikolas: You may initial my checks for the time being but
that's only a temporary arrangement
Helena: Nikolas until the day you turn twenty five..
Nikolas: (interrupts) I'm not going to turn into another
person and my memory will not fade. Cross me now
Helena and you'll pay for it later I promise you that.
Helena: Before you assume the control of the Cassadine
Dynasty
Nikolas: I'm the heir to the title as well as the estate.
You say you care about tradition, how is the heir
traditionally treated?
Helena: I was only thinking of your well being
Nikolas: You might think of your own
(Helena leaves)
Gia: you mind telling me what that was about
Nikolas: A twisted old woman root in the past
Gia: How did she get to be the executor of your
estate?
Nikolas: My grandfather's will
Gia: So who is she, some old family friend?
Nikolas: No, Helena never had a friend a day in her life
but unfortunately, she is my Grandmother
Gia: (laughs with shock) Oh my god you're kidding (Nik
gives her a straight look) And I thought my family was
a pain
Nikolas: Yeah well mine stuck in the seventeenth century
Gia: So that dynasty stuff was literal and the title
what is that, Sir Nikolas, count Nikolas
Nikolas: Prince
Gia: That wasn't a joke
Nikolas: Ridiculous, isn't it
Gia: It's a little unusual but it beats being a frog
Nikolas: (grinning) Oh that's...That's.. Yeah
