Chain Reaction (2014)

Lilli Birdsell: Melanie Jordan

Quotes 

• Roland Jennings : If the police have just accurately described what happened, you have two choices: One of them is death row and the other isn't.

  Melanie Jordan : And you're on my side?

  Roland Jennings : I'm trying to think of an alternative explanation for a dead woman under your bed in a cello case. It's not coming, and this deal will go away.

  Louie Provenza : Tick-tock, Ms. Jordan. Tick-tock.

• Melanie Jordan : Oh, God. How many times did we go over the plan? There was never supposed to be a gun. That was completely unnecessary. If they had just done what I told them...

  Sharon Raydor : That why you strangled Lydia, because she disobeyed you?

  Melanie Jordan : Lydia had a complete meltdown. She wanted to turn us both in. She fought with me, and I fought her back, but not... not just for me. You understand this: What I did to Lydia, I did that for my son, and what I did for my son, I did that for the world.

  Roland Jennings : [pause]  You said life.

  Louie Provenza : Life. It's good for the world too.
