Ducks on the Pond (2018)

Richard Clarkin: Nate Dawson

Quotes 

• Nate Dawson : When you went to the farm, I thought to myself "Good. We'll finally get some justice."

  Joanna Hanley : Southvale Farms? That farm was a dead end.

  Nate Dawson : The animals were a dead end. You should have been looking at the son.

  Joanna Hanley : Steve Magnus.

  Nate Dawson : He killed himself 'cause he was twitching.

• Joanna Hanley : Twitching's only presented in girls. If Steve had it, that destroys the "conversion disorder" theory.

  Nate Dawson : I coached him. Wasn't a bad second baseman. Always cracked his knuckles before a game; I thought it was nerves. His grandma had Parkinson's. He watched her lose control of her body, he heard it ran in the family. It scared the hell out of him.

  Joanna Hanley : You're saying that Steve had Parkinson's?

  Nate Dawson : I'm saying it's what he thought. I noticed he cracked his knuckles a lot more, so I asked him "What are you so nervous about?". Then he showed me. It wasn't nerves, he was twitching. Made me swear not to say anything. But if I'd known...

  Joanna Hanley : I'm sorry.

  Nate Dawson : I'm not a doctor, but when the kid tells me he has Parkinson's, I believe him. Th-the symptoms matched.

  Joanna Hanley : But when you saw the girls...

  Nate Dawson : I knew. This crap about it being in their heads, it's a load of bull.

• Joanna Hanley : If you knew all this, why'd you sit on it? If we'd had this information sooner...

  [realizing] 

  Joanna Hanley : You were complicit.

  Nate Dawson : I've known Ben Matheson since we were boys.

  Joanna Hanley : You helped bury those barrels in the field.

  Nate Dawson : The field is just the tip of the iceberg.

  Joanna Hanley : What do you mean?
