"Why don't you tell us about your class project?" "( class laughs )" "Come on." "I created Family Buddies because, well," "I needed a project for this class, also because I desperately needed the money for college." "We make it possible for parents to survive and their kids to thrive, babysitting, tutoring, sports." "For exhausted overwhelmed busy parents, we provide relief." "I was getting more babysitting, tutoring, family assistant jobs that even a chronic overachiever like me could handle." " Hey, kids." " Hi." "Did you guys drive Ashley crazy today?" " We tried." " You did?" "At first, I recruited my friends, matched them up with the right families." "Then we got referrals as far as 20 miles away and we expanded." "So there are 11 of us working now, including my three best friends," "Janet, our adolescent jock heartthrob." "What are you guys doing?" "Follow me." "They follow her anywhere."

"What?" "Oh, my God." "Thanks." "Aw. ( chuckles )" "Thank you." "So how are the college applications coming?" "I hate them." "They want to know how I will benefit from and contribute to their vibrant community." "What do I say?" "Oh, they can be intimidating, but maybe Mark can help." "He's a trial lawyer, and he can convince anyone of anything." "Yeah." "Yeah, absolutely." "Your college essay, it's your story." "You just have to convince them it's a great one, huh?"

"It's gonna be okay." "Thank you." "( sighs )" "It means a lot that you believe that." "Now I just need to believe that." "Where'd you go to school?" "Well, I went to Pressman." "You know, that's a thought." "I bet they'd love a-- a girl with your entrepreneurial skills in their business program." "I can't even afford a state school." "Isn't Pressman, like, five times as much?" "Let me help you figure that out." "Help how?" "Well, books, room and board." "What--why?" "Consider it an investment in your future." "You're gonna do amazing things." "That--that--that would be unbelievable." "Thank you." "Okay." "Now get inside." "Start thinking about that essay." "( thunder crashes )" "Oh."

"You'll never have another candy bar." "Mmm." "What did I tell ya, huh?" "You have to learn to trust me." "( Ashley chuckles )" "Did you know the average annual salary 10 years out of a Pressman business grad is over 400k?" "That is crazy." "Yeah, even more important, 93% of Pressman students say there's something fun and interesting on and near campus." "Huh." "You need a personal tour from someone who knows where all those fun and interesting things are." "Oh, and where might I find such a knowledgeable guide?" "( chuckles )" "Well, we can fly up next weekend." "Oh, come on, Ash." "I can't show off my college to my kids for another eight years." "Let me show it off to you."

"I am taking care of everything." "You're my girl." "I got you covered." "Strong SAT scores." "You'll probably be valedictorian." "I think applying to Pressman is a fine idea, as long as you don't forget your safety schools." "My family, um, can't help." "So I'll be working my way through college."

"We can dance again if you like, make love until we pass out." "Oh, so the food is just for show?" "No." "No, we could eat before, after, during if you like." "That sounds gross."

"I needed" "It was my idea." "We all needed money for college but I got carried away." "I turned Ashley's tutoring business into a hooking ring." "Mr. Brown?" "Mr. Brown, please, did they tell Pressman?" "You've broken the law." "Pressman is the least of your worries." "I'm sure you're aware how serious this is." "The DA wants a formal investigation before making a decision on what charges to file." "Each of you will have a turn to tell us what happened." "Just tell us the truth, from the beginning." "So if I got this straight, this was all Rachel's idea?" "Yeah." "But I was already doing it with Mark Riley." "Mark and Linda hired me to tutor their kids." "He was..." "Nice." "He offered to help me with my essays." "He knew I was freaked about college, that there was no way I could pay for it." "He offered to help pay for tuition if" "I wanted to go to Pressman so badly, so badly." "He said that we would make each other happy." "Ashley, are you saying that Mark Riley pushed you to have sex?" "Detective..." "I don't know if I'll ever sleep at night knowing how much I screwed up my life and hurt Linda and her kids." "Was Mark the only one who paid you for sex?" "(policeradiochatter)" " Daddy!" " Daddy!" "Come here." "Come here." "Come here." "Now, stop--stop." "No!" "No." "No!" "I've asked your parents to join us because you have admitted to being the organizer of this ring, which makes you subject to arrest." "Do you still stand by your previous statement?" "She needs to consult her attorney." "Okay." "If that's how you want to go, we can drag this out, arrest your daughter, put your family through the circus of a trial." "But if Rachel sticks to her statement, we can keep her name out of the media, make sure the DA knows she cooperated, and she'll get a good deal." " Listen" " Dad, please." " No, you can't." " Dad, stop." "Just stop." "You know, everyone was worried about getting busted." "Weirdly, I--I wasn't." "I never th--I never believed it could happen, not one time." "I'm not stupid."

"You exploited her, which in my book enhances the charges." " Ashley is not a" " Save it." "Here are the terms." "You and the other men will register as sex offenders, take a course in sex addiction." "You will also take a parenting class, if you wish to stay in your homes with your children." "Oh, wait." "Hold on." "Register as sex offenders?" "I'll be disbarred." "For what, consensual sex?" "If you break one of these conditions," "I'll try you for the rape of a minor." "And you will be put away for ten years." "Is that clear?" "I" "I know what I did to you and the kids." "I don't expect to be forgiven for it." "I don't think you meant to hurt us." "But you did." "You were amazing to me, encouraging me, supporting me." "And I have to live with what I did for the rest of my life." "You know the worst part?" "I hate what he took from you." "And what that did to me and the kids." "We're getting a divorce." "There's a part of me that will always love him." "I can't believe we're not a family anymore."

"I saw my future." "Now I see nothing, just a big black hole of nothing." "Hofully, you've learned your lesson." "Now if you'll excuse me." "Uh, did Harper get in off the waitlist?" "She did." "I--this is ridiculous, right?" "Rachel goes to jail, but these guys, these rich guys, these child rapists, they go free?" "How is that justice?" "They could have made us go through an expensive and humiliating trial." "I could have gone to jail instead of a year of community service." "Four years' probation."

"You did not make me do any of this." "I did it to myself, but it's done." "You're gonna be outta here soon, and we can get the show on the road." "Absolutely."

"You always undersold yourself." "Except when it counted." "You were the only one who had enough self-respect to say no to Rachel." "Do you still talk to her?" "Only when she wants a latte."
