" YOU KNOW, IF YOU WEREN'T READY FOR SOMETHING LIKE THAT,YOU SHOULD HAVE JUST SAID SO!" "I WAS FINE." "YOU THREATENED TO TAKE HIS ARM OFF!" "FIRST OF ALL, THAT WAS A JOKE,AND SECOND OF ALL, HE WAS PUTTING HIS HANDS ON YA." "NO, HE WAS NOT!" "COME TO BARCELONA WITH ME?" " WHISPERING, I GUESS BECAUSE I'M BLIND, I CAN'T HEAR EITHER." " HE WAS WHISPERING,SO THE OTHER EDITORS WOULDN'T FEEL LEFT OUT." "HE THOUGHT BECAUSE I COULDN'T SEE, I GOT NO BALLS." " FINE, FINE,SO YOU PROVED THAT YOU DO,AND ALL IT COST ME WAS ANY GOODWILL I MIGHT HAVE HAD WITH MY BOSS." " WHY ARE YOU DEFENDING THIS GUY?" "!" " WE CAN'T SPEND THE REST OF OUR LIVES SITTING IN THIS APARTMENT." " OH, PLEASE,GIVE ME A BREAK." " WE HAVE TO TRY AND MAKE OUR LIVES JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE NORMAL." " THAT WAS NORMAL TONIGHT?" " A GUY INVITING YOU OUT OF THE COUNTRY?" " COME ON" " DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT I WOULD GO WITHOUT YOU?" " YES!" "ARE YOU SAYING THAT JUST TO HURT ME?" " WHAT HAVE I EVER DONETO SUPPORT THAT IDEA?" " YOU DON'T THINK THE BOTH OF YOU WERE JUST A LITTLE TOO CLOSE TONIGHT?" "IF YOU'RE ACCUSING ME OF SOMETHING, YOU LAY IT OUT." "ALL I'M SAYING IS THAT I CAN SEE YOU GOING AWAY WITH HIM." " NO, YOU'RE ACCUSING ME OF HAVING AN AFFAIR." " NO, THOSE ARE YOUR WORDS,CHRISTIE." "YEAH, BUT THAT'S YOUR WORLD, JIM, NOT MINE." "WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?" "WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?" "WHY DON'T YOU JUST SAY IT, HUH?" "SAY IT!" "JUST 'CAUSE YOU COULDN'T STAY FAITHFUL,?" "YOU UNDERSTAND HOW IRREGULAR IT IS?" "A YOUNG BOY WITH UNTREATED BROKEN BONES?" "YEAH."

"HE AIN'T JUST GONNA GO." " WE TALKED ABOUT POSSIBLE ABUSE.SHE SAID THE KID WAS COMING TO SCHOOL WITH BRUISES." " WHY DIDN'T SHE REPORT THAT?" "SHE SAID IT DIDN'T SEEM THAT OUT OF THE ORDINARY,OR ELSE SHE WOULD HAVE." "SHE ONLY MENTIONED IT IN LIGHT OF THE BROTHER BEING KILLED." "SO WE GOT ABUSE IN THE HOUSE ACROSS THE BOARD?" "YOU THINK THE MOTHER WAS A PARTICIPANT?" "NAH, SHE'S TOO MUCH OF A MOUSE." "SHE CAN'T LOOK YOU IN THE EYE." "WELL, THEN SHE CLOSED HER EYES TO IT,AND SHE'S BEEN LYING TO US ALL DAY, SO I KNOW WHERE I'D GET MY LEVERAGE FROM." "I KNOW HOW I'D GET IT." "THANKS." "HERE'S YOUR TEA, MRS. CRIDER."

"YOU'RE LYING, AND YOU'VE BEEN LYING TO US ALL DAY." " THAT TELLS US YOU'RE EITHER TOO SCARED TO TALK, OR YOU WERE INVOLVED." " I WOULD NEVER HURT MY SON." "THEN YOU LET YOUR HUSBAND HURT HIM." "THAT MAKES YOU COMPLICIT." " THAT MEANS YOUR SON JAKE CAN BE TAKEN FROM YOU AND PUT INTO A FOSTER HOME." " PLEASE DON'T DO THAT." "I CAN'T LOSE JAKE, TOO, PLEASE." "PLEASE."
