Bethany:      In the grand scheme of things,  it doesn't really matter if I  pulled the trigger.


                Richie:       Are you going to tell me what you've done, or are we playing 20 questions?


                Bethany:      I always wanted to live in a  big house like this.  Don't suppose I ever will
                              now .  unless my prison  has its own property market.


                Richie:       You're turning us both  in tomorrow morning?


                Bethany:      I wanted  it all -  a dog, a car, the two point four kids -  though  it's down to one

                              point six now -  the works.


                Richie:       You're clinically insane, and you didn't shoot him.  It was your evil twin,  Ethel.


                              A  dog  barks in th e d ista n ce.


                Bethany:      Dogs don't like  me.  I don't really care for them either.


                Richie:       How about, you're starting feel guilty about it?



                Bethany:      What do I  have to feel guilty about?  Not getting a good  nights sleep before
                              my hockey match aside,  I'm pretty guilt-free.  By the way, are you coming to
                              watch?  Nah, I  might not go either -  I've got things to do.


                Richie:       Kid, you  nearly killed a  man.  You don't feel anything?


                Bethany:      No, of course not.  It's not in the job description to feel things.


                Richie:       It's not in the job brief to get me  up at midnight. but that doesn't seem to be

                              bothering you.


                Bethany:      Never really been  brilliant with  rules.


                Richie:       Enough with the small talk Bethany.  It's too cold for messing around.
                              What're we doing here?


                Bethany:      In this spot?  Emotional ties, I guess.  You  mean together?



                Richie:       No,  I  mean -  emotional -  what?


                Bethany:      Long story.  I  realised something earlier.
