Quotes
-
Kim : [Brittany enters and closes the door] Hey, how was your first day?
Brittany : Uh, overwhelming.
[puts bag down]
Kim : Thanks for calling and letting e know that your friend, what's his name, Zach? That he was bringing you back.
Brittany : Yeah. Of course. I didn't want you to worry.
Kim : I got a call from the school today. They said you walked out of your history class during a quiz.
Brittany : I didn't know a single answer and I sorta panicked. But, um, it's all cool now 'cause Zach is tutoring me. He's really smart, actually; he - he wants to be a lawyer.
Kim : Good. Uh, there's also some confusion about your old school. They contacted Central and there's no record of you ever attending there.
[Brittany looks caught in headlights]
Kim : I need you to be 100 percent honest with me.
Brittany : [nods, uncomfortable] Okay.
Kim : Why didn't you want us to know where you really went?
Brittany : [scoffs a bit to have time to think] Oh, um... because, uh...
[sighs]
Brittany : I didn't go to high school. I haven't gone to school in five years.
Kim : Oh, you mean you were home schooled?
Brittany : Uh, not really.
[sits on stairs]
Brittany : My foster parents just... just didn't put me in school.
[shakes head]
Kim : You mean they just left you home all day?
Brittany : I helped take care of the other kids, mostly. Some of them were too little for kindergarten and...
Kim : [incredulous] My God! Nobody from the state ever checked up on that?
Brittany : Uh, I guess not. So, basically
[stands up]
Brittany : I'm just - I'm pretty far behind.
Kim : Well, it's just reprehensible. You know, first thing in the morning I am gonna call the agency, I'm gonna report-...
Brittany : No, no, no! Please don't. Please jus-just don't report them or anything. Please.
Kim : Honey, what they did is not right.
Brittany : I know, but I just... I just want to close the door in Portland forever, please?
Kim : Okay, okay, I - I won't.
Brittany : Look, and now that I'm here with you and Uncle Donnie it's like a whole new beginning. Today was the first time I felt like a normal kid in a really long time.
Kim : [affected] Okay. I understand.

Kim : [Talking to Brittany on her cell phone. She has just found out who Brittany really is - and that she has just been shot] The police are coming with an ambulance. Just stay calm, okay? We will meet you at the hospital. We will be there.
Brittany : I have a lot to tell you. About the real me.
Kim : I know, Brittany. It's okay, honey. I know everything. It's okay. Just as long as you're safe.
Brittany : [Zack is holding her. She starts crying uncontrollably]
