Your good friend Wendy told us that you'd been dumped before. Is that right?
It happens.
By a rich boy who treated you like trash. Your father owned a souvenir stand, right?
Yes.
Is that why the boy dumped you?
There is nothing wrong with the souvenir stand.
Then why were you so desperate to get out of there?
I had some bad memories.
Of being dumped because you were poor trash?
Look, I was an idiot! He wanted one thing: My body, and he got it!
You weren't gonna let that happen again, were you?
No!
From then on, you were going to be the one using people.
I don't use people!
How 'bout the used car king? How 'bout your husband?
I helped my husband in a lot of ways!
The chairman of a multi-million-dollar software company? How exactly does a drug-whacked daughter of a souvenir stand owner help him?!
There were plenty of things my husband didn't understand. Him and his friends. Jane Austen, like that matters.
He understood you, though, didn't he?
What do you mean?
He finally understood that you were just a hick town party girl who didn't belong here.
Objection! He's harassing the witness.
Sustained. Watch it, Mr. McCoy.
I belong here as much as any of them!
Did he tell you he was shipping you out?!
Nobody ships me anywhere!
He'd be able to face his friends again, wouldn't he?
Bunch of snobs!
Your honor, may we have a recess?
It's not being a snob if they're really better than you!
The women were jealous of me! The men all wanted to get me in bed!
And you were happy to oblige!
No! Not anymore! Nobody takes advantage of me anymore!
You were on your way back to that souvenir stand, weren't you?! Where you belong?
I am smarter than all of them! They had it handed to them! I had to work for it! They think I was trash! They don't know anything!!
