- Ann Reynolds: Slow down and tell me what happened.
- Joan 'The Freak' Ferguson: I have just given Ballinger a taste of what she deserves but believe you me, it wasn't nearly enough. That bitch took such delight in telling me what happened to those kids when she'd finished with them.
- Ann Reynolds: You've bashed Ballinger, is that what you're telling me?

- Ruth Ballinger: No. Take me to the Governor. I want Reynolds to see what Ferguson has done to me.
