Sara and Hannah West in “The Unusual Suspect”

Sara

Hannah, with your gifts you could have done anything you could have wanted and you picked murder, you can't take that back.

You're worried how I'm gonna turn out?

Sara

Of course I am. I know it seems like a really long time, but in five years, the Stacy's of the world would have been behind you.

Let me guess? You were a smart kid in school, maybe you feel that we're a little bit alike?

Sara

There aren't many people like you.

That's what my parents always say too. The last four months all they cared about was the effect of the trial on me not Marlon. It's been that way ever since I was 14 months old and started spelling words with plastic letters. It's so unfair and nobody ever sees it. He doesn't deserve to go to jail. If I get convicted, what's the worst case scenario? I mean, I'll be out in five years with an undergraduate degree. There's no Son of Sam law in Nevada. That was ruled unconstitutional, so I'm free to write a book about all of this. The story will be worth millions. Freaks are always good box office.

Sara

You're not a freak.

When was the last time you had to sit down to be eye level with a murder suspect who was standing up?

Sara

Hannah West you are smart.

So I've been told.

Sara

But you are not smart enough to get away with murder.

I think I am. A lot of people are smart enough to get away with murder. You probably are too, but you have to be really smart to get people to think that something happened that never did.

Sara

What do you mean... exactly?

Please don't worry about me, I'm gonna be fine. [whispering in Sara's ear] I didn't kill Stacy. Marlon did.
