Kelsey quotes from Femme Fatales

Tiffany

Professor Williams, do you have a moment? I'd like to run my paper topic by you. I've decided to write about Joan of Arc.

Why?

Tiffany

Well, I can't really think of a stronger woman than Joan of Arc.

Please. She was insane. She heard voices in her head, and was burned at the stake at 16. If you want to write about a strong woman, find someone who used their brains to get what they wanted. Someone like... Cleopatra.

Tiffany

But Cleopatra didn't use her brains. She used love to get men to do her bidding. She's far less noble than Joan of Arc.

That's where you're wrong. Women throughout history have had to use whatever resources were available to take matters into their own hands and get what they wanted. Men have muscles; women have their loving personality. Cleopatra looked at her options at the time and did what she had to do. And that took brains.

Tiffany

I never thought of it that way.

Well, there's a lot that I could teach you.

Tiffany

By the way, that's a lovely scent you're wearing.

Dean Rutledge?

Kelsey!

I got your message.

Yes, I wanted to have a word with you. I wanted you to know that we've zeroed in on November 21st for the career fair, and I'm looking for volunteers to help coordinate the event.

Well, you can count on me.

Good.

Is there... anything else?

No. That'll be all. [Kelsey starts to walk away] There is... one more thing. [Kelsey turns around and faces Vera] I want you to stop screwing my husband.

I don't know what you mean.

Let's... not do this, shall we? I know it's you. I'm not surprised. Jake always had a thing for the sleazy sorority type. And you certainly fit the bill. Flouncing around campus like a ridiculous harlot with a penchant for cheap perfume.

You know, I don't have to take that from you.

Yes, you do. Because you know I have it in my power to destroy you, and I will... with pleasure if I even get a hint that you are still seeing my husband behind my back. Trust me, you won't be able to get a job teaching kids how to tie their shoes. Are we clear? Walk away, Kelsey. There's not a man around as far as I can see. Don't make me speak to you again. [turns around and walks away from Kelsey]

Chaz! I never meant for you to hurt anyone.

But I did! It's what you wanted! What we both wanted. To be together.

Yes, but...

You said you love me. And I love you. Two people who are in love don't let anyone keep them apart. Right? Right?

I don't deserve you. [Chaz starts kissing Kelsey on the lips, but she pulls away from him] Wait.

What's wrong?

Let's be smart about this. We have to be extremely careful. No one can know that we're involved with each other.

No one is gonna find out. I've thought of everything. You have nothing to worry about, babe.

Okay, but still, for appearances' sake, I think that it's best that we keep our distance.

No way. I can't live without you.

We can't risk raising any eyebrows. Not, at least, until this whole thing blows over. Chaz, it's the only way. If we don't play this just right, you could go to prison. And then we'll never be together. All great love stories in history take a little time.

Tiffany

Hi, Professor Williams.

What's happening?

Tiffany

[referring to Jake Rutledge] Oh, you didn't hear? They found evidence connecting him to his wife's murder.

What evidence?

Tiffany

The murder weapon. It was one of those night sticks that security guards use. They found traces of the Dean's blood, and the Professor's prints were all over it.

That's impossible.

Tiffany

He got it at Walmart. Security camera footage showed him buying it just days before the murder. Funny. He doesn't look like a murderer to me.
