"LANGSTON:" "Yes, I'm familiar with the concept, but my understanding of therianthropy is that it's fleeting, it's meant to be symbolic." "In many cultures, the notion of retaining the shape of the beast is seen as nothing less than a curse." "Cat got your tongue?" "Maybe you could loosen it enough to tell us about Iona Vail."

"She was bullied." "Yeah." "Cyber-bullied." "Look, it's not like back in the days of getting your lunch money stolen, or getting tripped in the hallway." "11 million people bombarded this girl with hate, and it drove her to take her own life." "What do you want to do?" "These people are on line, Nick." "We're not going to get 11 million arrest warrants." "I know that, Conrad, but I do feel like some of the kids at this school are responsible, and I want to pursue that." "Listen, you weren't there when Robbins delivered that baby." "Maria and her child deserve some justice, and we're obligated to give it to her." "Okay, but like anything forensic, I need proof."

"no more than 15 minutes earlier." "Okay, Brass confirmed that Nathan Culver was at school at 8:30, so the only way he could've killed Maria is if he strung her up with his own belt sometime before that." "Could it have taken her 45 minutes to die?" "Given the absence of ligature marks around her neck-- impossible." "Nathan didn't kill her." "LANGSTON:" "I just spent an hour talking to a man who think he's a dog." "You ask the man a question, he barks back at you." "A year ago, this guy was the manager of a hot dog chain." "And what conclusion do you draw from that?" "Well, either he's hiding behind his animal mask, or Neth has got him brainwashed." "I think that might be a little simplistic, Doctor." "All your assumptions are based on one false premise." "Which is?" "You attribute all the power to Neth." "He is the master." "It is his house." "They are his pets." "His rules." "But a king is nothing without his subjects." "They define him, elevate him." "Without them, he's just a man." "You're saying that the relationship is more equal than it seems?" "It's a bond of reciprocity." "Tyrell gets affection, his pets get shelter." "It's like the bond between dominant and submissive, hunter and hunted." "I watch the news, Doctor."

"According to Maria's e-mails, the principal found the photos offensive." "The girls were suspended, which led to their being ineligible for the national cheerleading competition."
