Quotes 

• Eve Stephens : You cannot run away from this. You're gonna need some help. Professional help. Madelyn, look at me.

  Madelyn Stevens : What are you talking about?

  Eve Stephens : Come on, Madelyn. I stayed in your room last night. Since when do you take a child's size five dress?

  Madelyn Stevens : That's for Emma. I'm keeping it for her.

  Eve Stephens : [scoffs]  Yeah, right. What about the hammers, the tools, and the piles of other stuff? I've seen a copy of your file. You have a history of this which is why your bail is so high. Grand larceny is a felony. You're in deep shit.

  Madelyn Stevens : [angry]  And you're taking great delight in pushing me futher down into it!

  Eve Stephens : I'm trying to help you. You have a serious problem. It's called kleptomania. You steal items compulsively.

  Madelyn Stevens : And do you think we can get the nice guard over there to testify against me in court? Huh? Do you think that's a possibility?

  Eve Stephens : [pause]  I'm sorry, you're right.

  Madelyn Stevens : What do you want? Do you want to see me jailed, shunned, screwed out of my Ph.D? See me embarrassed and humiliated for my sins? Would that give you the feeling of always being sympatric and superior? Would that give you the big daddy dick you've always wanted?

  Eve Stephens : I'll be back on Monday.

  Madelyn Stevens : Always the saint. Always daddy's little girl. Even after he ran out on us, you're still kissing up to him after everything he did to us and Mom, yet you still refuse to remember what really happened. Always trying to be the good girl. Fuck you, little sister! I dare you not to come back!

• Madelyn Stevens : I steal to stop me from killing myself.
