Not on me.

Ms. Jacobs,
principal Burke, this is
Detective rush.
I know you're busy here,
so from one overworked
Civil servant to another,
I want to thank you
For your time.
What's up?
Uh, Ms. Jacobs
is faculty advisor
To the prom committee
at McKinley this year.
Citywide budget cuts are forcing
us to get creative with a theme.
I was sorting through
Some decorations
stored in the basement,
Hoping to recycle some.
Found a disposable camera
in a box from the ' prom.
We had it developed.
Thought it'd be fun to see
What the styles
looked like back then.
Surprised the photos came out.
Us, too,
And then we noticed that she
was in almost every sh*t.
So who was she?
Felicia Grant,
k*lled by a hit-and-run
the same night
She was crowned prom queen.
Never found who did it.
I pulled the accident
investigation division file.
The original Detective
figured she was hit
By a drunk driver
a few miles from the school.
Prom queen didn't have a ride?
Well, according to the
file, her boyfriend was
"too drunk
to drive home."
Cole Austen.
That, I can attest to.
So you were there?
I was assistant principal
back then; chaperoned prom.
We were all shocked.
Felicia handed Cole
off to friends at : .
Said she'd catch a ride.
An hour later she was dead.
No one saw her leave?
I would have been there, but a student
Fell off the bandstand.
Spent most of the
night in the Er.
Is this the last photo?
Outside the gym.
Everyone always thought
that Felicia ended up
Walking home from the school.
But look at the clock.
Its says : .
Motorist spotted
Her body on the side
of the road about three miles
From the school;
Called it in at : .
There's no way she could have
Walked three miles
in minutes.
Someone had to give her a ride.
Whoever took this picture was
the last to see her alive.
Hmm...
Or her k*ller.
Felicia Grant, ,
Hit by a car on old York road
Walking home from the prom
In ' .
Yeah, broken
Neck, hip, and pelvis.
Multiple skull fractures
and internal bleeding.
Whoever hit her
must have been hauling.
I've seen a car
going do some real damage.
It's all about
where you get hit, not how.
Aid tagged it as a hit-and-run
by a drunk driver.
Kids from
the prom alibi'd out.
Most went to an afterparty
together.
The last photo suggests someone
she knew picked her up.
Talk to the parents?
Father passed away.
Mother remarried,
moved to Miami.
Trying to find her.
I don't remember dressing
this badly in High School.
You mean compared to now?
Well, how'd you guys
Do it back in the day, will?
What, did Moses
just hold a candle
While you guys danced?
Had our prom
At the Bellevue hotel.
Took a lovely, young Betty
named Pennie Joe McVicker.
So fine, make a blind man see.
You ever wonder
what happened to her?
Married, five kids,
twice my size.
Oh.
What about you, boss?
I quit school before the prom.
Went in the Navy.
What about you, Lil?
Never went. Not my thing.
Well, I was prom king,
But I lost my crown
when I, uh...
Well, when I
got caught streaking.
You streaked at your prom?
Yeah.
Mrs. Kaye saw my junk
and fainted.
Well, aid found silver
Paint chips on the dress.
Assigned checked all the body
shops within a -mile radius.
Nothing ever surfaced.
Well, whoever did it
Might have waited a few years
till the heat cooled
And then fixed their ride.
Reinterview
Felicia's inner circle.
Find out who took
that last photo.
Updating your Facebook page?
Ah, just an old narcotics case.
Gonna talk to Suzie hill,
The prom queen's best friend.
Want to come?
Sure.
Suzie looks fun.
Uh, my oldest, Tess,
is at cheerleading practice.
I'm going to need
to grab her soon.
Um...
Hey, how many times do I have
to tell you, no running
In the house?!
Anything stand out to you about
This photo, Suzie?
Sorry.
Seeing Felicia brings back
a lot of memories.
I don't know why
she was still there.
The school had
a strict midnight curfew.
Didn't you wonder
where she went
After prom?
Thought Felicia caught a ride;
We'd all hook up later at the party.
Best friends
And you don't even check up
on each other?
We were both sort of caught up
in our dates that night.
If I knew she needed me,
I would have been there.
When was the last time
you saw her?
When she won prom queen.
I was so happy for her.
When we were little girls,
we used to dress up, act like we
Were queens
and, now, she was one.
All sugar, no Spice?
She could throw down.
Felicia wanted something,
she went for it.
She always got it.
Probably made a few enemies,
too?
She was popular.
People's feelings get hurt.
We were all so young
and thoughtless back then.

I got to know him in art class.
He's not that bad.
Has that whole
Christian Slater thing going on.
I got your letter.
What'd you say?
I got your letter,
And I like you, too.

I haven't thought
of Corky in years.
Everyone always picked on him,
But I think that night
was it for him.
How so?
We never saw him again.
He was so mad at Felicia,
thought she made a fool of him.
Where were you after the prom?
Um... Lee took me
up to Fairmount park
Before we hit the party,
And... I was right.
He was sexy.
My daughter thinks
I'm such a prude.
If she only knew.
Hi. May I help you?
We're looking
for a Corky mazer.
Last guy that called me that
Had to pick his teeth
off the floor.
I'm not that guy anymore.
Whoa.
Easy there, whitey Chan.
We're here to talk
about Felicia Grant.
Felicia Grant?
That's ancient history.
Barely knew her.
Heard she made you look
Like a fool on prom night.
Yeah, that was the worst
night of my life.
I'm glad I got far away
from that hellhole.
Sounds more like you were driven away.
I decided
I wasn't going to be
a victim anymore.
So maybe you decided to poured
Yourself a nice,
hot cup of revenge?
No. I joined the army
the next morning.
Saw the world.
It gave me meaning, purpose.
It gave me "Kara-Te."
Or a way to escape
a m*rder charge.
"m*rder"?
Well, I, I thought
Some drunk hit her.
You were
The president
of the av department.
Took a lot of photos
that night.
I didn't take that one.
And whoever did didn't know
what they were doing.
What kind of car
did you, uh, drive
To the prom, Evan?
I didn't drive, okay?
My mom dropped me off
and picked me up.
Wow, you had it hard
In High School.
Kids kicked your ass.
Felicia humiliated you.
I had lots of problems, okay?
You know, but I realized
that night
That I wasn't the only one.
Ah, come on, baby.
Oh, you're so hot.
This doesn't feel right.
Really?
'cause the seats
are real vinyl.
Maybe you're just sitting
on the belt buckle
Or something.
No, no, I mean us, this.
Going all the way.
I want it to be special.
Babe, it is special.
You're with me, the Colster.
I want to go find Corky
and apologize.
"Corky"?
What are you talking about?
I waited two years for this.
Look, I even made us

I want to go inside.

Cole's alibi checked out
back in the day.
So did his car.
Which one?
His dad owned one of the biggest
car dealerships in Philly.
Cole drove a new car
every month.
Hey, dad.
I went to the store.
I figured you could use a...
Hey, sis.
You've got to be kidding me.
Lilly...
No.
No!
Lilly!
Lilly, wait!
Cole Austen.
Cole Austen?
One and only.
Far cry from your dad's
Big car dealership, huh?
This gig's just temporary.
Waiting on a call
from McKinley high
For an assistant football
coaching position.
Sounds promising.
Kind of a legend there.
Just waiting to get the money right.
You were
The ' prom king at McKinley.
Damn straight.
It was the greatest night
of my life, man.
Till that, uh...
Till the morning.
Felicia Grant?
Yeah.
That was my girl.
If she was your "girl,"
Why'd you leave her alone
at the end of the night, Cole?
I drank a little too much clear
And I spent the rest
of the night praying
To the porcelain gods.
Last time you saw Felicia?
I don't remember.
Everything after we won prom
king and queen is just a blur.
That's pretty convenient.
Felicia was hit
And k*lled by a silver car.
Kind of like your mustang.
Ooh. I'd never hurt Felicia.
I loved her.
We were going to go
to Penn state together.
We heard you were
macking some serious moves
On the queen
out in the parking lot,
But, uh, she just wasn't
feeling the king.
Felicia, she was
just nervous, man.
All she needed was
A little reassuring.

Felicia!
Are you really
looking for Corky?
What you did was mean.
Look, forget him.
Look, I think I know
what's really bugging you.
You do?
Yeah.
You're just worried
we're going to get to state,
I'm going to be smothered
in hotness
And end up hitting it
with a bunch of hot chicks.
Uh, no, Cole, that's not...
Not gonna happen.
I could have played ball
anywhere,
But I chose to be with you.
You ever wonder
if you're... A good person?
What do you mean?
I've been thinking
about this stuff a lot lately.
After High School...
Who knows what lies ahead of us?
I do.
More awesomeness.
the ' s ruled, but the ' s
Are gonna rock.
You and me, we're going
to be king and queen
Of happy valley.
Felicia?
Someone said you were crying
In the parking lot.
Everything okay?
Everything's cool.
Roll, we'll get up
with you guys in a bit.
We want to hear it
from Felicia.
You can
Shut your piehole,
you freaky dink.
Everything's fine.
Just go.
What is it with you
and that guy?
I don't know.
He creeps me out.
Do you want me to kick his ass?
Prom court, please report
To the stage.
Come on, babe.
It's showtime.
Maybe... If I hadn't drank
so much that night,
Felicia'd still be alive today.
Who was this Lee guy?
Lee Mavoides.
He's some
punk-ass freak.
He have some kind of history
with Felicia?
In his wet dreams.
He was obsessed.
He was always staring at her.
That's why Felicia
was skeeved out by him.
What happened to your old
mustang, Cole?
I still got her.
Cops checked her out back in the day.
Yeah, well,
I'd like to get
a second opinion.
Take me back to my cell.
I'm not sitting with this chota.
Sit down and shut the hell up.
Why don't you take your blue
n*zi ass back to Philly?
I ain't got nothing
to say to you.
I got this.
Why don't you go
Grab some coffee?
Yeah?
You real tough with that tin.
I don't need no badge to deal
with a little man like you.
Que pasa, Hector?
TEsabes.
Viviendo como UN Rey.
So I hear.
Yeah, you got big ears.
Yeah, so do these guards.
It's not their ears
I'm worried about.
You know, bad for biz
if anyone finds out
I grew up in Francesville
with a cop.
Yeah, how's tati?
Thanks to you, e's good.
Just gave us another niece.
But that ain't why you're here.
Look, there's a new fish
on your block.
He likes to sing.
You're his favorite song.
Hmm. And what you care so much
about me for?
I wouldn't want
to see your nieces
Growing up without their til.
Sounds to me like you want
someone to catch a cold.
It's going around.
But, I mean, how you handle
the jabber--
That's your business.
My business, that is
what I'm worried about.
And this coming back on me.
I get that.
All right. Suppose...
Suppose this-this fish, hmm--
Gets made out to be
a snitch in the yard?
Then...
He's everybody's problem.
Game over.
Kiss of the bitch.
You know what I'm saying, papE
Starting to think
you weren't going to show.
you want to order something?
I'm buying.
I already ate.
Check this out.
Do you remember that suit?
I was always so psyched
when you got a new one
'cause that meant I got yours.
That day was so much fun.
The last time I saw you,
There was a warrant
out for your arrest.
Am I sitting across
from a wanted fugitive?
I cut a deal with
the d.A. In New York.
Managed to avoid jail time.
It's still a felony, right?
I know that you promised dad
That you were going
to hear me out.
I want to thank you.
I-I don't have a lot
of time, so...
Get to the point, right.
I've been lost
a long time, Lil.
Made a lot of mistakes,
But I'm ready to make a change.
Christina...
I'm staying
at the grand inn right now.
Not as fancy as it sounds.
It's a flophouse.
It's cheap.
But I'm looking to move.
Somewhere more permanent.
Near family.
I want to settle down.
Meet a good guy.
What about you, Lil?
You know me.
Working.
Yeah, working.
Yeah.
Um... Kind of...
Makes it kind of hard to get
A rental lease with a record,
So I was hoping you could...
Co-sign for me.
Yeah, shouldn't have guessed
that this was a social visit.
You always want something.
I know.
You got no reason
to believe me.
But I need you, Lil.
I don't... I don't know
what to say.
Honestly, every time
you come around,
It's like a hurricane hit town.
Lilly...
No, Christina.
I promised dad that
I would talk to you,
But I-I can't commit
to anything else.
I mean, maybe it's better
that you find someone else
To clean up after you.
I don't have anyone else.
I wish I could
I trust you, Christina.
I really do.
What are y'all laughing at?
Look at you,
Slick Willy!
How?
Called your old
High School and said
I needed pictures
For your retirement party.
Still, um,
This is the girl that
Brought eyesight to the blind?
And?
And... We located
Felicia's mother.
Still had a few
Of her daughter's things
in storage.
Look what I found
in her sophomore yearbook.
"what do you see when you look
in the mirror, because I'm
Looking right through you
and it's not pretty."
Signed Lee Mavoides.
Tracked him down
To Morgan's restaurant.
He's the head chef.
Well, let's hope
his cooking's better
Than his poetry.
Pig in the pen.
Yo, mota?
What's happening, bro?
Tag. You're it, bitch.
That's for my mom.
Thanks.
Buena suerte.
Felicia grant--
k*lled on prom night.
Right.
You know, don't
really remember.
High School was
a long time ago.
Maybe this will help
jog your memory.
Back when you were busy
looking right through her.
Now that's embarrassing.
What kind of car did
you drive to the prom?
It was my dad's Chrysler, I think.
What color was it?
I don't know, gray.
Look, man, I'm in the middle...
Put the Kn*fe down when
I'm talking to you, Emeril.
Look, we used to be friends.
High School started;
She became a cheerleader;
And I became an afterthought.
Bitter pill to swallow.
Yeah, I wrote some mean things
in her yearbook,
Listened to a lot
of cowboy junkies
And then I got over it.
Some strange coincidence
You ended up going to the
prom with her best friend?
Yeah, maybe I wanted to get
a rise out of Felicia.
But I realized
That she really wasn't
worth the drama.
Didn't know you and Suzie
were so close.
You didn't even know
we all go to the same school.
That's lame.
Anyway, I saw you
On the dance floor.
You two make a cute couple.
She's lucky to find
a guy like you.
Guys like me don't really fit
into your whole thing, Felicia.
And what is my whole thing?
Don't be so modest.
You're the queen
of McKinley high.
They even coroneted you.
Hey, I'm trying to be nice
right now.
You don't have to be
such a jackass.
You came to talk to me.
Yes, because we used
to be friends.
We used to make pizza and
geek out to old twilight zones.
Remember?
I still like to make pizzas
And watch old TV.
It was you that
changed, Felicia.
And now you've got the crown.
You're just so above it all.
If life's about being liked,
You win, okay?
Everybody loves you.
No. No, they don't love me.
They want to be me,
Or they want to get with me,
But they definitely
don't love me.
Love-- said the girl who treated
High School like a contest.
Lee, wait.
You came to see
if I was okay before.
I figure that had to mean
you still cared... A little.
Unlike the rest
of your friends,
I can tell you've
been miserable.
So, yes, I was worried.
Thanks.
You're the only one who noticed.
I hate you, Felicia Grant!
Suzie, wait!
Suzie refused to even look at me
for the rest of the night.
I think living in Felicia's
shadow kind of ruined her.
Suzie said the two of you
went to Fairmount park
After the prom.
No, she went to the afterparty.
I smoked a couple bowls--
ended up at ihop--
Alone.
Scotty.
What are you doing here?
Brought you some of those
Pastelitos De Coco
you love so much.
In the middle of the afternoon?
Well, I had
an interview nearby.
What, a son can't bring
his own mother some pastries?
Of course.
Thank you, mijito.
Quieres cafe?
Nah, I got to get back.
Oh, honey, you can sit
For ten minutes.
Come on, sit.
No, ma, I can't.
I can't.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
Never better.
I think she's about
ready to spill.
Scotty, my sister
didn't contact you,
Did she?
Christina?
No.
She's back in town.
Hmm.
I just, you know, maybe
She'd call you, you know,
Booty call.
No, Lil.
Well, never mind.
Let's just do this.
Sorry if we kept you waiting.
Just got caught up
in the the odyssey here.
You're all over this thing.
Vice president
of the student body,
Co-captain
of the cheerleading squad...
Second most popular girl
at McKinley high.
That must have been
hard being number two.
Always good,
just never good enough.
Ever get sick of it, Suzie?
Living in Felicia's shadow?
She was my best friend.
And your worst enemy.
Same thing, right.
Sure, you eat her dust
for four years,
Then she pays you
back on prom night
By taking your boyfriend.
Boyfriend? I hardly knew Lee.
Well, that was the point.
Pick a guy you figure
Felicia won't know...
And even then
you're runner-up.
You told us you were parking
with Lee when Felicia d*ed.
That's right.
Last time he saw you
Was at the dance.
Said you wanted to have
the prom queen's head.
Why'd you lie about your alibi?
Because I was embarrassed.
Embarrassed?
You ever been locked up?
I mean, 'cause I acted
like a child.
It was High School.
Everything was
always so dramatic.
And afterwards you realize
how stupid those fights were.
What happened between you
and Felicia that night, Suzie?
I saw...
Felicia with Lee,
And I wanted to hurt her
so badly.
And I got my chance.
Suzie, please, listen.
It's not what it looked like.
Well, thank God, 'cause
it sure looked like
You were trying
to stick your tongue
Down my date's throat.
Hey, we're not
selling tickets here.
Get out.
I don't get it, Felicia.
Your quarterback boyfriend isn't
good enough for you anymore?
That's not it.
No? Why?
Why my date?
You remember...
The guy I told you
I lost my virginity to
a few years back?
Yeah, some college guy
down the shore.
He lived on my block, Suzie.
Lee?
It was a mistake.
We were way too young,
And it's way over.
If you like him,
you should go for it.
So I get your sloppy seconds?
That's not what I meant.
You're my best friend.
Closest friend in the world.
You are the only thing
in this ridiculous place
That matters to me.
You're acting like we're never
going to see each other again.
I'd never forgive myself
if I hurt you.
Please.
Say we're okay.
We're okay.
She reached out to me,
And all I could see
Was an opportunity
to take her down.
I needed her to know
what it felt like to lose.
What did you do, Suzie?
I told Cole
about Felicia and Lee,
And then...
Later at the afterparty,
I hooked up with him.
I thought Cole was
long passed out.
Oh, sure, he was plastered,
but...
He was awake.
The Colster and I were
just going back over
The events of prom night.
Right.
Did you get to the part
where he lied
About being passed out
in the back of that car?
I didn't lie about nothing.
Been claiming you out cold,
but not so drunk
You didn't try to get over
on Suzie hill.
I don't remember that at all.
Don't flatter yourself.
She doesn't remember
much of it either.
Boys down in the garage
Did some analysis
of your ' mustang.
Turns out the paint on the front
bumper has been replaced.
Doesn't match
the factory original.
I had an accident
a few years ago.
Back-ended some truck.
So what, you forgot
to file a report?
No, I wanted to leave the
insurance companies out of it.
This isn't the first lie
You've told us there, Colster.
What about all that smoke
you were blowing
About big-time college ball?
Okay, so I exaggerate a little.
Don't mean I hurt Felicia.
Like I said,
Passed out.
No, you were blacked out.
Means you just don't
remember what you did.
Like hooking up with Suzie.
Or getting in your car
And tracking down Felicia.
If I found out my
High School girlfriend
Was messing around...
Especially with a guy like Lee,
There's no telling
what I'd have done.
That night was supposed
to end different.
You touched my girl,
I'm gonna break your face.
Dude, I don't want any trouble.
Lee, that's enough!
Just go.
You okay?
You hurt?
I can't believe
you would do him, and not me.
It was a mistake.
One I don't want to make again.
I-I kept trying to pretend like
tonight was going to be special
And that I wanted it too,
But, Cole, we both know
it's not true.
Let's call it, Cole.
Wait a minute. You...
You're breaking up with me?
At prom?
I know, I know. My timing sucks.
Babe, we were meant
to be together.
Come on. I love you.
You don't even know me.
No way, babe, this runs deep.
You say that now.
Next year
it's all going to fade.
What? We're going to Penn state.
Coed dorm, right?
I'm not going to state.
I'm going to Berkeley.
What?
Berkeley?
Mr. Burke wanted me
To apply.
He put in a call
to his friend in admissions,
And I just got off
the wait list.
Why didn't you tell me?
I didn't tell anyone.
I wasn't sure before.
Look, Cole, it's not about you.
I just...
I wanted to go somewhere new
Where I didn't know anybody.
You have no idea
what I'm saying, do you?
You're saying
I'm not getting any tonight.
Sorry.
But if it's any consolation,
You can tell the team
any story you want.
Your rep's safe with me.
Hey, we never got a picture
together as king and queen.
Come here.
High School was the only time
that my life was worth a damn.
And prom?
That was supposed to top it all,
But it blew.
Girlfriend left you;
You got your ass kicked.
Ended up
Spending the rest of the night
in the Er
Getting my stomach pumped.
Didn't tell anybody
that she broke it off with me.
Wanted to keep up my image.
I was always the Colster.
No one can ever take that
from me.
That picture Felicia took,
When was that?
Um,
End of prom,
I guess, uh, around : .
Disposable cameras from
that night had exposures.
Stack of photos
from Felicia's camera?
Only .
One photo's missing.
The one she took of her
and Cole at the end of prom.
Never got developed?
It got developed, all right.
Went back to the cvs.
They keep the negatives
on computer now.
So either Mrs. Jacobs or
principal Burke got rid of it.
Mrs. Jacobs was barely
in elementary school
When Felicia was k*lled.
Look closer.
Check out the car.
Silver, looks like a Volvo.
Looked up dmv records for ' .
Principal Burke owned
the same make and model.
Are you sure?
When did you notice
it was missing?
No. No, dad, it's not okay.
No, I'll handle it.
Damn it.
What was that?
Christina just disappeared.
Along with some jewelry
at my dad's house.
Should have known.
Well, you need help,
say the word.
I'll handle it.
Just gotta take care
of this first.
According to DMV records,
Mr. Burke, you drove
a silver Volvo back in ' ?
That's right.
It's right here in this photo,
The one that you neglected
to share with us
Taken at : ,
Right as the prom ended.
Bit confusing.
You said you were in the Er all
night with an injured student.
Where are you going with this?
Felicia Grant was mowed down
By a vehicle
with the same paint job.
It must have been a real shock
When Ms. Jacobs found
that old camera.
All those photos of Felicia.
Like a ghost coming back
to haunt you.
We spoke
to Ms. Jacobs.
And she said that at first,
You didn't think
those photos were worth
Bringing to the police.
Well, she's mistaken.
I want justice for Felicia
just as much as anyone.
She was a special student.
No doubt about that.
"Felicia has an intelligence
and maturity
"that far exceeds
even the best students.
Her star burns brightly
at McKinley."
The letter of recommendation
You sent to cal-Berkeley
on her behalf.
I've written
hundreds of recommendations.
You went the extra mile
for Felicia.
Put several phone calls in
To make sure she got taken off
the wait list.
Are you suggesting we had
an inappropriate relationship?
She was just a girl!
Felicia was
No ordinary student,
now, was she?
What makes you think...?
'cause you've been in this room
With two dozen photos
of Felicia
And you've barely
looked at her once!
Look now!
You went to four
different auto shops
For replacement parts
for that Volvo.
You fixed it yourself.
You should have paid cash.
She was left there.
Her date was too drunk
to drive her home.
Then there you were.
Felicia?
What are you still doing here?
She needed a ride.
Believe that?
The prom queen was left behind.
Was I supposed
to leave her there?
You were supposed
to drive her home.
Mr. Burke, we're supposed to
turn these in to prom committee,
But there's still
one picture left.
Here. One last sh*t
of the prom queen.
Tomorrow you turn back
into a Pumpkin, so...
Right.
Come on.
Let's get out of here.
But something happened
on the way there, right?
I always knew
A joke, a pat on the back.
But Felicia was special,
wasn't she?
She was different.
Beautiful.
But so much more than that.
She had it all.
I just wanted
to be a part of that.
So, no afterparty?
Just going home.
Come on.
The prom queen can't end
the night with a whimper.
I just don't feel much
like partying.
Hey...
Felicia.
Something happen?
No. No, it's just
a crazy night.
I think I lost my best friend.
I broke up with Cole.
Hey...
It's okay.
Cole Austen?
I mean, you've been out
of his league for a long time.
It's more than Cole.
I'm saying good-bye
to everything I know.
I'm excited to move on,
But also
I'm terrified.
Does that make sense?
Perfect.
It's normal.
I'm proud of you, Felicia.
Thanks, Mr. Burke.
Oh, please, you're
practically graduated.
You can call me Steve.
Okay... Steve.
You've always been so cool.
I don't even really think
of you like a teacher...
I don't think of you
as just any student.
Mr. Burke!
What the hell?!
I'm sorry!
I, um, I must have misread...
I have to go.
Wait! No, wait!
Listen to me!
Listen to me!
Let's just forget
This ever happened, okay?
I feel sick.
Wait. Listen! Mr.
Burke, you're hurting me!
Calm down. I want to keep this
between us, okay?
Let go!
We just need
to talk about this!
Wait! Let's talk about it!
Leave me alone!
Felicia, wait!
