Alicia: I had my fingers crossed.
Danny: Have you ever had a real friend before?
Alicia: Yes Jill.
Danny: Then why did you hate Jill so much when she moved here? I mean everybody accepted you except for Jill but you love Jill so much. If you ask me your her little puppet.
Alicia slams her fist on the table.
Alicia: You take that back.
Danny: No. Come on Alicia. Don't you see what we're doing. We should turn ourselves in. What kind of friends would we be if we did this?
Alicia: What kind of friends are Steve, Jessica, Kirby or Brian?
Danny: Friends that would do anything to protect one another.
Alicia: Okay. Maybe that is true. They still killed Jill and they need to pay.
Danny pumps his head down in frustration. This girl is extremely paranoid. Danny begins to think to himself.

Kirby: Look, we had an argument. A very stupid argument.
Jessica: Tell me what happened. I'll decide whether or not it was stupid.
