Laurel: if you think I’m gonna abandon Emily Nocenti, then you don't know me all that well.

Dad: you don't know me well, young lady. I will lock you in a cell if that’s what it takes.

Laurel: well, I guess that’s what it’s gonna take then.

Dad: damn¹ it, Laurel! I thought after what happened with Sarah, you’d stop being so reckless² ['reklis].
