• [first lines] 

  Claire Benoit : [about Casey standing over in the corner]  That's what happens when you do a mercy invite.

  Mr. Benoit : I believed you wanted to invite everyone.

  Claire Benoit : Dad, I can't invite everyone in my art class except for one person without social networking evidence inflicting more pain on that person than was intended. And I'm not a monster.

  Mr. Benoit : I'm proud of you. I think.

  Claire Benoit : She gets detention a lot and she yells at teachers sometimes. There was that rumor that went around that she just kept running away from home.

  Marcia : Um, maybe she can Uber.

  Claire Benoit : I seriously believe that we can go home now.

  Mr. Benoit : Um, did I mistakenly convey this was a democracy? We are not going 'til she gets picked up.

  Casey Cooke : [walks over to them]  Uh, the car broke down. I'm just gonna take the bus.

  Mr. Benoit : You're not taking a bus. I'll drive you home. Claire has almost saved her half of the money she needs for a car. Isn't that right? This'll be one of the few times left I can drive you guys around. Huh?

  Casey Cooke : Uh, I...

  Claire Benoit : You won't be able to hear my dad tell jokes that only he thinks are funny for an entire car ride unless you come. You don't really wanna miss that.

• Claire Benoit : I took six months of Kenpo karate class. And you distract the assailant with pain.

  Casey Cooke : Everything is so easy for you guys. You do one thing, you can predict the next thing. It's not the way it's gonna be in this situation.

• Marcia : [as Claire struggles with door]  It doesn't matter if you open that door, Claire. There's a second locked door.

  Claire Benoit : He's gonna come in here again any second now, and we're not gonna let him take one of us out again. We just screamed and didn't hurt him, because we were afraid he'd get upset. God, that's victim shit!

  [with her hands in her hair:] 

  Claire Benoit : Jesus! We should fight him! We should drop a crazy-ass bomb on him!

  Casey Cooke : [quietly]  I saw him carry one of you in here and lay you on the bed like you weighed nothing. One punch from him would knock one of us out.

  Claire Benoit : I took... I took six months of Kenpo karate class. And you distract the assailant with pain.

  Casey Cooke : Everything is so easy for you guys. You do one thing, you can predict the next thing.

  [shakes her head] 

  Casey Cooke : It's not the way it's gonna be in this situation.

  Claire Benoit : We're not getting out of here! You're saying you're not gonna fight with everything in you? You know, the only chance... the only chance we have is if all three of us go crazy on this guy. We have to hurry!

  Marcia : We need you, Casey. Claire's smart. Let's listen to her. I'll do it, but you're gonna do it too. We can win.

  Casey Cooke : He'll hurt us. No, shut up. Both of you.

  Claire Benoit : [to Casey]  You're gonna pick your miserable self up and help us get out of here.

  Casey Cooke : Blow me. And your six months of karate at the King of Prussia mall can blow me too.

  Claire Benoit : No. No, you can't, can't do this today. You can't do this right now. Why do you do this? Why do you act like this? Why do you act like you're not one of us?

• Claire Benoit : He's just trying to scare us.

  Marcia : He was having a full conversation with himself. What was that line about? "The food is waiting."

  Casey Cooke : Does anybody get how whacked this is and we need to get out of here now!

• Claire Benoit : [peeping into next room, alerting Marcia in cell compartment across dingy corridor]  There's a lady. Someone's here! We need to get out of these rooms! Is there anything in your room? Anything we could use?

  [scrambles to find something on empty shelves] 

  Claire Benoit : There's nothing in here!

  Marcia : [desperately searching]  There's a hanger!
