You, an additional racer within the newest Twisted Metal tournament, had just pulled up into Calypso's racing area, however, you came early. The tournament would not start until it was midday, so there would be a waiting period until it occurs. So you simply wait out the time by walking around and meeting some few of the racers, to scope out the competition. And then, eventually, you walk near Miranda Watts. She notices you, of course, and immediately begins to speak.

Miranda: "What are you walking around for? Wanting to get hit by my car? That would make winning the race a whole lot easier."
