"As far as the police department's concerned, she acted in self-defense." "I don't think she's talking about the legal ramifications, dummy." "She's talking about the emotional fallout from shooting a guy at point-blank range, okay?" "What do you know about emotional fallout?" "Shut up about things that you don't know what you're talking about." "Was that the first person you killed, or did you kill people over in Iraq?" "Hey!" "What is the matter with you?" "If it makes you feel any better, Trae Adams was one bad mope." "Trae Adams?" "Mmm." "That was his name?" "Yeah." "The guy had priors for B and E, aggravated assault, even a murder one charge, but DA couldn't make it stick." "Well, strike me dead for saying this, but you've made the world a safer place, Veronica." "Thank God it's over." "Mmm-hmm." "Hey, thanks." "No worries." "You sure you're okay?" "Yeah."

"Molly's liver tests are all normal." "No evidence of hepatitis." "Why is she in so much pain, Doctor?" "Well, it could be an unusually bad stomach virus." "Although these things resolve themselves fairly quickly." "If not, we could look at an ultrasound of her abdomen." "Would that be all right with you?" "TAMMY:" "He has no right to answer that." "I'm Molly's mother." "I have full custody." "Hi, Mommy." "Sorry it took me so long to get here, honey." "I went home to get some of your things to make you feel more comfortable." "Tammy, the school nurse called and said Molly was rushed to the ER." "The only reason they phoned me is because they couldn't find you." "Hmm." "That's strange, because I was at my job."

"Aren't you, like, in fifth grade?" "How about Nancy Drew?" "Not scary enough." "What's so great about scary?" "My parents always fought after I went to bed and it gave me bad nightmares." "The kind you can't wake up from." "I hate those." "Especially when you think you wake up, but you're stuck in the dream, and the monsters are still chasing you." "That's what's so great about scary books." "In the end, the monsters usually get their butts kicked." "I don't want to ruin the end of Carrie, but you may want to brace yourself."
