30, 2009 Transcript Kristina: I was supposed to shadow you for an A.P. summer civics class. We set the whole thing up last week. That was the only reason I was at the police station in the first place. I was waiting for you. So how do I write this in my report, mother? How do I write that you had an affair with your married boss? Alexis: It happened once. It was a long time ago. Kristina: And what, only once makes it okay? He's married. You look like a total slut. Alexis: That's enough. Michael: Don't act like Kristina did something wrong, okay? Alexis: I understand that you're both upset with me, but that doesn't give either one of you the right to disrespect me. Kristina: Why should anyone respect you after what you've done? Alexis: Michael, Kristina and I need to have this conversation in private. Kristina: I have nothing to say to you, ever. Michael: Milo is on his way right now. Alexis: Good. Michael, I'm sorry. These are extenuating circumstances, and I would never want to imply that you aren't welcome here. Michael: You don't have to. I'm not welcome unless I'm supervised. Not that you're in any position to criticize what I do at the moment. Alexis: Okay, everybody is upset. Kristina is upset, for obvious reasons. But this needs to be between me and her. Michael: How could you forget that she's going to come visit you at work? That's a million times worse than banging the mayor. Alexis: Hey, cool it, all right? We're not having this discussion. Michael: Yeah, you never really liked me, did you? Even when I was a little kid. Alexis: Why on earth would you say that? Michael: I always invited Kristina to my birthdays, and every year you found some excuse for why she couldn't be there. And I actually don't even remember going to her birthday party ever or anything else. Alexis: Because she had a very different set of friends, and it's complicated, Michael. Michael: Why can't you just admit that you don't want her around me? Alexis: It's not you. It's your father and the environment that he has you in. It's dangerous. And I was always worried that something would happen to Kristina. And, in fact, it did. She was kidnapped while she was there. Michael: Yeah, I know. I was there. Alexis: And you shouldn't have been. That's the other thing. He lets you run around the estate, you and your brother, without any supervision, with criminals running around with guns that you both could get your hands on. I wanted her to have a safer life with better values. Michael: Like yours? [Car horn] Michael: That's my ride. Tell Kristina I'll call her. Alexis: I was going through a very difficult time in my life. I was going through chemo. My marriage was breaking up. Kristina: So you slept with the mayor? Alexis: It was a severe lapse in judgment, Kristina. I told you -- Kristina: You should see what's getting posted on my pages. I've gotten 33 text messages about you and the mayor already. Alexis: It was one regrettable incident -- one. I'm sorry, all right? It wasn't supposed to go public. Kristina: So what's my big lesson out of this experience? Do whatever you want, as long as you don't get caught? Alexis: Listen. I'm not perfect. Kristina: But I have to be. Alexis: Why do you say that? Is that what you think that I expect from you? Because I've never said anything to you other than that I want you to be the best that you can be, to do your best. Do you have a problem with that? Kristina: One, you aren't going to make me wrong here. Two, expectations go both ways. You expect for me to get straight A's and be perfect in every way -- Alexis: No, I don't expect that, Kristina -- Kristina: I shouldn't have to deal with you sleeping around. Alexis: I know you're humiliated. I get it. And yes, there will be a scandal, and I will do everything that I can to make sure that you and Molly are not affected. But that's the best that I can do right now. The best that we can do is to just try and get through this, all right? Kristina: We? As in you and me? Mother, daughter on the same team? Good one, Mom. Really funny.
