:58:01
You're being really cool
about this, Kimberly.
:58:04
I thought you might be mad.
:58:06
Don't be silly.
I wouldn't let a play ruin our friendship.
:58:12
I'm glad.
:58:15
Then I helped Brittany dye her hair...
:58:17
because, as you know,
Anne Frank wasn't a blonde.
:58:21
Yes, I do know that, but thank you.
:58:24
Let me ask you something, Kimberly.
Didn't it make you angry...
:58:27
when Mr. Anderson told you
he was replacing you with Brittany Wells?
:58:32
I don't know.
:58:37
You don't know?
:58:39
Look at that, she doesn't know.
Well, thank God I know.
:58:44
Didn't you want to get back at him?
:58:47
- No.
- No?
:58:49
Miss Joyce, isn't it possible
that you are infatuated with Mr. Anderson?
:58:54
Isn't it possible
that you were trying to seduce him?
:58:58
And that you thought that the play
might even bring you closer to him?
:59:01
No.
:59:05
Hold that thought.
:59:08
Ladies and gentlemen,
I now present to you, Exhibit A.
:59:12
Your Honor.
:59:15
An essay, written by you, Miss Joyce,
during detention with Mr. Anderson...
:59:19
as punishment for talking during his class.
:59:21
An essay that you read out loud,
as per his request.
:59:25
Isn't this correct, Miss Joyce?
:59:27
- Yes, that's correct.
- Yes. That's what I thought.
:59:30
Do me a favor, would you?
Read that out loud to the court.
:59:36
Okay, but I'm kind of embarrassed.
:59:39
Embarrassed? Well, well, well.
:59:42
Why are you embarrassed, Kimberly?
:59:45
I wanted to get it done quickly,
and I didn't do a very good job.
:59:50
I mean, I just, you know,
want to let the court know...
:59:52
that this essay does not necessarily reflect
my writing abilities.
:59:57
Nobody cares
about your writing abilities, Kimberly.
:59:59
Just read your essay, please. Thank you.
