  A.D.A. Casey Novak : I can't imagine how hard this must be for you, Jessie, but your testimony will help put your rapist in jail.

• Danny Spencer : [to Jessie]  Look, I'm sure you hate me.

  Jessie Dawning : Shut up! You don't get to defend yourself. What you did to me You think I'm trash, don't you?

  Danny Spencer : No. No, I... I don't.

  Jessie Dawning : But all those things that BJ said about me you think are funny. Breaking into my trailer and stealing my panties.

  Danny Spencer : It was just a stupid prank.

  Jessie Dawning : You call raping me a prank?

  Danny Spencer : I wish I could take it all back. I'm sorry.

  Jessie Dawning : You're sorry? How could you be sorry when you went on the radio and bragged about what you did to me?

  Danny Spencer : BJ started making jokes. I was just trying to keep up.

  Jessie Dawning : Was your mom just trying to keep up, too? Because she said she wished I was dead.

  Danny Spencer : No, no. She didn't mean it like that.

  Jessie Dawning : She thinks she is so perfect, but all she does is give kids somebody to blame when they do something wrong. Kids shoot up a high school, blame Marilyn Manson. You raped me. Blame BJ Cameron.

  A.D.A. Casey Novak : Danny, you're the only one who knows what really happened. You can own up to it like a man or you can hide behind your mother.
