HAYLEY: How hard do you think they’ll look for me? (She lets it sink in. Then continues) The police find a pedophile killer all gift-wrapped for them, you really think they’re gonna care who did their work for them? You think they’re even gonna bring it up?

They never try girls as adults. Sexist but true. Plus I’ll have the biggest legal defense fund you ever saw. If everyone who’s ever been molested sends in just five dollars, I’ll be able to afford any lawyer I want. The worst, absolute worst case scenario? I do two years community service with psych evaluations, and Jodie Foster directs the movie version of the whole thing. (a beat) Who do you want to play you?
