Nikolas: Is that what you wanted?
Nadine: What if I said yes?
Nikolas: I shouldn’t have done that. What are you even doing here, Nadine?
Nadine: I know you’re upset about your sister. I thought you might need a friend.
Nikolas: I don’t. You shouldn’t be anywhere near me.
Nadine: Believe me, if I didn’t want to be kissed just now, I would have kicked you where it counts.
Nikolas: Look, Nadine. Either you don’t get it or you just don’t want to get it. But this — us — is not going anywhere. You understand?
Nadine: I understand you wish it wouldn’t.
Nikolas: And you should probably know that I’m genetically predispositioned on both sides of my family for madness. Not a nice guy.
Nadine: Pretty spoiled, I’ll give you that.
Nikolas: And did you know that I — that I cheated on Emily, the love of my life? Caused her untold pain and humiliation. I did that.
Nadine: I’d say you’re making up for it now by being in love with her so long after her death.
Nikolas: And I also — I also have an evil grandmother that could just literally swoop down here at any moment and torture and terrorize the people I care about. She tried to kill Emily on several occasions. In short, what I’m trying to tell you is, I’m just a really bad bet, Nadine. But — but I like you. I really do. That’s why I can’t allow you to — to risk your heart or waste your time on me, okay?
Nadine: You’re not the only person to have family –
Nikolas: Would you — would you just please get out? Please?
Nikolas: Oh, God.
Nadine: I’ve never been kissed like that. Nikolas was upset but passionate. We just — it was amazing. And then, he yelled at me and asked me to leave, so I did.
Leyla: Hmm, I think I’ve read about this somewhere. I think it’s “Jane Eyre,” or was it “Wuthering Heights”?
Nadine: Ha, ha, very funny. You weren’t there. You didn’t get your lips kissed off only to get –
Leyla: Lips kissed off?
Nadine: Seriously. It was the most incredible thing that’s ever happened to me. But Nikolas assured me that it would never happen again.
