• Daniel Coleman : [watching Esther neatly cut up her food]  Can you eat normal?

  Esther : I am eating normal.

  Daniel Coleman : Yeah, maybe in Transylvania or whatever country you're from.

  Esther : Incidentally, I'm from Russia. Transylvania isn't even a country. It's a part of Romania.

  Daniel Coleman : You're such a freak.

  Kate Coleman : Hey.

  John Coleman : Hey, Danny... I don't want any more talk like that, all right?

  Daniel Coleman : But why does she have to act like that? All my friends make fun of me because of her.

  John Coleman : Maybe you need some different friends.

  Daniel Coleman : Maybe you should send her back to the retard camp where she belongs.

  Kate Coleman : Daniel.

  John Coleman : Daniel! Apologize to your sister.

  Daniel Coleman : She's not my *fucking* sister.

• [Esther holds a box cutter to a sleeping Daniel's neck; he wakes up] 

  Esther : Shhhh...

  [She grabs his hair and slams his head against the pillow] 

  Daniel Coleman : Ah!

  Esther : Tell me what you saw.

  Daniel Coleman : What are you doing?

  Esther : What did you see?

  Daniel Coleman : [crying]  I saw you and Max in the treehouse...

  Esther : [pulls his hair]  What else?

  Daniel Coleman : What do you mean?

  Esther : What else did you see?

  Daniel Coleman : Nothing, I didn't see anything else, I swear!

  Esther : Did you tell anyone?

  Daniel Coleman : No... I didn't tell anyone.

  [as he cries, she moves the box cutter down between his legs] 

  Esther : If I find out that you're lying, I'll cut your hairless little prick off before you even figure out what it's for. Do you understand me?

  Daniel Coleman : Yes...

  [a dark stain appears on his pants] 

  Esther : You pissed yourself.

• [Esther and Max walk up after Daniel has shot a pigeon with his paintball gun] 

  Esther : Did you kill it?

  Daniel Coleman : [crying]  It was just a paintball, I didn't think it'd hurt him...

  [She picks up a big rock and holds it out to him] 

  Esther : Put it out of its misery.

  [off his look] 

  Esther : It's in pain. And it's your responsibility.

  Daniel Coleman : It was just an accident.

  Esther : If you walk away now, it'll starve to death. Is that what you want?

  [pause] 

  Daniel Coleman : I'm not doin' it...

  [after a moment, she smashes the pigeon with the rock] 

  Esther : [to Max]  It's all right. It's in Heaven now.

  Daniel Coleman : What's wrong with you?

• Trevor : Your sister's a total spaz.

  Daniel Coleman : She's not my sister.

• [as Daniel rummages through his treehouse, Esther suddenly enters behind him] 

  Esther : Are you looking for this?

  [pulls the hammer and her bloody clothes from Max's backpack] 

  Esther : Poor Sister Abigail. I couldn't have done it myself, you know. Max is just as guilty as I am.

  Daniel Coleman : Whatever Max did, you made her do it!

  Esther : Think about it.

  [pulls Max's drawings from her pocket] 

  Esther : How did she even know what was up here? It's always better to burn the evidence.

  [begins spraying lighter fluid on the pile] 

  Esther : If they find these things, they won't just be coming for me. They'll be coming for Max, too.

  [lights a match] 

  Esther : Is it really what you want?

  Daniel Coleman : Wait!

  [She drops the match and sprays more fluid all over the floor] 

  Daniel Coleman : What are you doing? Are you crazy?
