## Dialogue

    Sam: I was, until yesterday, a guidance counselor at Blue Bay High School. A student there is accusing me of rape.
    Kenneth Bowden: Male or female?
    Sam: The student is Kelly Van Ryan.
    Kenneth Bowden: As in Sandra Van Ryan?
    Sam: As in I'm fucked.
    Sam: [Bwoden is wearing a neck brace] What do you do to your neck?
    Kenneth Bowden: Oh, this? I don't have to wear it all the time. [looks out the window and takes it off] There was an insurance guy around here earlier.
    Kelly Van Ryan: I miss Dad.
    Sandra Van Ryan: I miss him too... sometimes...
    Kelly Van Ryan: No you don't!
    Sandra Van Ryan: He didn't HAVE to kill himself, Kelly.
    Kelly Van Ryan: I can't believe you called Sam. What's the matter with you?
    Suzie: I'm scared, that's what. I'm scared. There's no one to trust.
    Kelly Van Ryan: You can trust me.
    Suzie: You - you are gonna fuck me over, aren't you?
    Kelly Van Ryan: Oh, for chrissake.
    Suzie: You are!
    Kelly Van Ryan: Are you retarded, or just brain-dead from whiffing fumes out there in the swamp?
    Suzie: That's that I am to you, isn't it? Swamp trash, just like my mom.
    [Kelly tries to touch Suzie's shoulder, but Suzie bats her away]
    Suzie: Don't!
    [Suzie slaps Kelly across the face. Kelly slaps Suzie back]
    Kelly Van Ryan: [Kelly shoves Suzie's head in the pool] You stupid cunt!
    Gloria Perez: What about asking her to take a polygraph?
    Detective Ray Duquette: What about asking the Pope to take a piss test? This is Blue Bay, Gloria. You ask a Van Ryan to take a lie detector test and Tom Baxter'll cut you off at the knees.
    Suzie: Kelly's pissed at Mr. Lombardo too. She's in love with him. I mean he's been her whole fantasy since her old man died, and then she found out that Mr. Lombardo was doing her mom and that was it.
    [the rest of the courtoom gasps]
    Sandra Van Ryan: What? Kelly!
    Kelly Van Ryan: [getting out of her seat and throwing a glass at Suzie in the witness stand] You skanky bitch!
    [the glass only just misses Suzie and shatters against the wall]
    Kenneth Bowden: [Passing Sandra Van Ryan's limo and honking the horn] Hey, look who we've got here. Hey, Sandra!
    Sandra Van Ryan: I want you to nail that shyster's balls to the wall!
    Tom Baxter: Well, that might have been possible if miss not-so-bright here hadn't started throwing things in court.
    Kelly Van Ryan: Fuck off!
    Sandra Van Ryan: I can't believe you're going to let them, get away with this... shit!
    Tom Baxter: I don't think you understand, Sandy. Your little princess here committed perjury. It will be all I can do to keep her fucking little ass out of jail.
    Sandra Van Ryan: Well... what are we going to do?
    Sam: Hello, Kelly.
    Kelly Van Ryan: Drop dead. You know how my mom's paying you off? She's breaking my trust. I can't touch it until she's dead, and now she's breaking it to pay you.
    Sam: I'm sorry, Kelly.
    Kelly Van Ryan: Why don't you start fucking her again! You can spend it together! I hate you!
    [Kelly swings her binder at Sam, hitting his trophy, it falls to the floor and breaks]
    Kelly Van Ryan: I fucking hate you, you son of a bitch! I fucking hate you!
    Kelly Van Ryan: Whooo, it worked! we screwed the bitch!
    [Kelly kisses Sam]
    Kelly Van Ryan: It worked just like you said. What's wrong?
    Sam: You scared the shit out of me. What's wrong, is you're coming here. That's what's wrong. Are you fuckin' crazy?
    Kelly Van Ryan: Yeah, I'm crazy. Ask my mom.
    Suzie: Before Medea sailed away on the Helios she killed king Creon and the princess, with what? A: A rock. B: Spear-gun or C: a bit of Poison.
    Sam: [gasping] P-oison...
    Suzie: Good guess. [Lets lose the sail rigging hitting Sam in the head and flinging him overboard]
