3, 2009 Transcript Michael: Any profound thoughts? Kristina: You first. Michael: I'm thinking about a burger from Kelly's and wishing I had one right about now. Kristina: Wow. Deep. Michael: Your turn. Kristina: I'm thinking we're really winging it, heading to Mexico, basically without a clue. Ugh. I should have talked to Molly first. She could have helped us plan this whole thing. Michael: Your sister's 10. Kristina: Going on 30. All her friends are busy texting and posting dumb stuff on social networks. Molly searches for actual research. Her brain is a sponge. [Michael scoffs] Kristina: She's the daughter my mom always wanted. Michael: Kristina, you're so perfect that it's annoying. Kristina: No, I'm not. Newscaster: A startling new development in the case of Claudia Corinthos, wife of reputed mob boss Sonny Corinthos, who suffered injuries and a miscarriage after being forced off the road by a reckless driver. Evidence has been uncovered tying district attorney Alexis Davis-- [Telephone ringing] Newscaster: To the crime. D.A. Davis has made a full confession, exonerating Michael Corinthos III, the younger-- [Ring] Claudia: Hello? Jerry: Yes. We haven't discussed my sizeable fee for the services I'm about to render. Claudia: Look, change of plans. I don't need you to find Michael. [Jerry laughs] Jerry: Ooh, that's terribly inconvenient, since I'm already on my way to get him. Claudia: So turn around and go back wherever you came from. Jerry: I'm afraid that's not possible, Claudia darling. You see, this is my game plan, okay? Claudia: I thought that he caused the accident, but it turns out he didn’t. Jerry: Is that a mother's intuition talking? Oops! Oh, sorry, sorry. That was a bit tactless, wasn't it? Claudia: Actually, it was your friend the D.A. She's confessed. Jerry: Alexis? [Chuckles] Why on earth would she do such a thing? Claudia: And Michael's been blaming himself for a crime she committed. Maybe she couldn't live with that. Jerry: Oh, I highly doubt that's the reason. Claudia: You know, there's this little emotion called guilt, Jerry. You should look it up in the dictionary. [Jerry chuckles] Jerry: You see, Michael is my brother's stepson, in addition to being a Corinthos and a Quartermaine. Alexis must know that the boy would be protected from any criminal trial. Claudia: I don't know or care what goes on in Alexis' mind. The point is, when Michael finds out that he's been exonerated, he'll come home on his own. Jerry: Oh, not if I find him first. Claudia: Well, Jason Morgan’s already out looking for him. Jerry: That's exactly what I'm counting on. You see, Jason's become a rather tiresome threat. So in the interest of my self-preservation, this game will continue. And Mr. Morgan will become the new target. Understand? [Clicks] Claudia: Jerry? Jerry? Kristina: My mom has all these plans for my bright and shining future, but they're her plans, not mine. She wants a walking, talking version of perfection with no personality flaws. Michael: Your mom is going to miss you. Kristina: She won't know what to do with herself when I'm gone. Molly. She's going to put it all on my sister. I should have warned her that she's going to micromanage her entire existence. Michael: You can change your mind and go home. Kristina: You keep saying that, but my answer hasn't changed. We're in this together. Michael: No. I'm the one who has to leave. I hurt Claudia. I put my mom at risk. Now, I'm looking at 6 months in juvenile detention. And even if--if I wasn't, I have brain damage. I mean, my chances of a normal life are basically non-existent. Kristina: Normal is way overrated-- Michael: Listen to me. Listen to me. You've got lots of choices-- not just your mom's version of your life. I mean, you can do almost anything you want, and you've got a mom. Kristina: You've got Morgan. Michael: Morgan's better off without me. Kristina: That is so not true. Michael: That's not the point, okay? You have got so much going for you. Why would you just throw it all away and head off with your loser brother? It doesn't make sense. Kristina: You act like I'm so much better than you, like I could never do anything terrible. But you have no idea. Michael: Okay. Then tell me. Tell me. What did you do that's so terrible? Kristina: My mom has everyone brainwashed into thinking I'm this paragon, but I'm so far from that, it's scary. Michael: What have you done? Stolen a candy bar? Kristina: Yeah, I did, once. Michael: Mmm. Going right down the slippery slope, huh? [Kristin chuckles] Kristina: Seriously, it was like I was living a double life or something. I'd tell my mom I was going to the library to study, and then, I'd go clubbing with friends. Sometimes, I drank. Michael: Still got A’s. Kristina: Mom bought into every lie I told. I should have acted in school plays. I'd have been great. Michael: This doesn't sound so terrible, Krissy. Kristina: And I drove without a license. And you said so yourself, I'm a lousy driver. Michael: It's not the same. You didn't lose control of the car and kill our baby brother. I mean-- Kristina: Stop talking about it, please. Just let it be an accident that was nobody's fault. Kristina: I wish I'd been a better sister. Michael: Hey, what are you talking about? You've been great. Kristina: I didn't stand up for you at the country club with Kiefer. Michael: I don't get what you see in that guy, besides the fact that he's a senior. Kristina: It's hard to explain. Michael: You're going to miss him, aren't you? Kristina: I don't know. He'll be going to college a year before I do, so it probably wouldn't have lasted anyway. But I have you to keep me company, so I won't be lonely. Michael: Seriously, it will all work out. Bus driver: Next stop, El Paso bus terminal. [Kristin sighs] Michael: All right. So, we'll cross on foot using this pedestrian grid right here. Kristina: Where they check IDs. Michael: Well, we'll wait for another group to pass and try to blend in with them. Kristina: And try not to look guilty. Michael: Just use those brilliant acting skills you were talking about. Kristina: Piece of cake. Michael: Anyway, it--I don't think it will be that hard getting into Mexico. Kristina: Getting out would be tougher. But then again, we're not planning to, so... Michael: Are you ready? Kristina: They have an APB out on you. What if the cops alerted the border police? Michael: No way will they be looking here. They'll be checking the Canadian border. And if Dad sent Jason to look for us, he'll think we crossed at Laredo. Kristina: I guess. Michael: Don't worry. No one's going to find us.
