Kristina: I can't believe Kiefer already has another girlfriend.

Michael: You don't know that for sure.

Kristina: Yeah, I do. Tara's been after him for weeks. He blew me off for her right in front of my face.

Michael: When was that?

Kristina: Does it make a difference? The point is Tara's parents are out of town, and Kiefer's sleeping over. Can you say hook-up?

Michael: Wait, I'm a little confused. When we left Port Charles, you predicted that Kiefer would find another girl, and you said you didn't care.

Kristina: Well, I didn't mean it! I thought he would come after me or at least wait for me. I guess I'm just realizing how much I care about him.

Michael: Maybe it was because he blew you off again. You know? I don't know. Maybe girls like that--the guy who's unavailable.

Kristina: That is such crap! You have absolutely no idea what girls think.

Michael: Except what you told me.

Kristina: I should've never left home without telling Kiefer how I felt. He probably thinks I don't even care about him. This is stupid. Where's that PDA?

Michael: You know what? I don't think we should use that again.

Kristina: I'm calling Kiefer. Give it to me.

[Michael sighs]


[Cell phone ringing]

Kiefer: Hey, uh, I need a favor. Can you pick this up and say "Kiefer's busy," and then just hang up? Don't ask any questions about it.

Cabana Girl: Why not? Hello?

Kristina: Tara? It doesn't sound like...whatever. Um, I need to talk to Kiefer. Tell him it's "K."

Cabana girl: Kiefer's busy.


Michael: I'm really sorry you're hurting.

Kristina: But not surprised, right? You always thought Kiefer was a jerk.

Michael: Kiefer is a jerk, but for some reason you like him, so who am I to judge?

Kristina: You don't know him like I do. Kiefer puts on this front like he thinks he's all that, but underneath he's just trying to figure out the same things that we are. I really like him, Michael, and I'm scared I might have blown it.

Michael: You're making my head spin. When we first left home, you didn't care about Kiefer at all. You didn't care about leaving him. And now all of a sudden he's the most important person on the planet. Why? Because you always want what you can't have?

Kristina: Excuse me?

Michael: Kiefer only became the center of your universe when he wouldn't take your calls. You're being possessive, Kristina. You're pissed because he's with someone else, and your competitive button is pushed big time.

Kristina: Okay, you don't know anything about me and Kiefer or what he's done for me.

Michael: Oh, yeah? What'd he do?

Kristina: I did something once, and I was gonna get in a lot of trouble, and he helped me cover it up.

Michael: Interesting. What's that?


Michael: Come on, Krissy, tell me. What's the hold up? What'd Kiefer do that was so brilliant, and what kind of trouble were you in?

Kristina: I did something dumb. That's all.

Michael: Okay, am I supposed to guess? What would upset Alexis? Oh, did you get caught cheating on a test?

Kristina: Why are you suddenly so interested in all the gory details of my life?

Michael: Just having a hard time believing that Kiefer has ever lived a single moment that wasn't all about him. You give that guy way too much credit.

Kristina: I get that you don't like Kiefer. You have reason, and that's your choice. But Kiefer shows me a side of himself that he doesn't show anyone else.

[Michael scoffs]

Kristina: I like that person, and I get to miss him. So just leave me alone, okay?

Michael: Fine. I'm gonna go to the hotel and get some more towels.

[Door opens and closes]


Michael: What's going on?

Kristina: [Sighs] I can't do this any more, Michael. I'm sorry to bail out on you like this, but I really miss Kiefer. I have to go home.
