Hard Candy

Consequences of Violence and Experience

Jeff Kohlver You're getting yourself in terrible trouble.

Hayley Stark Oh? Oh, and how's that?

Jeff Kohlver If you cut me in any way, you won't forget it. It changes you when you hurt somebody.

Hayley Stark Oh, and you speak from experience, I guess.

Jeff Kohlver I've just lived. Unlike you. The things you do wrong... they haunt you.

Hayley Stark Tell me what you're haunted by.

Jeff Kohlver Do you wanna remember this day when you're with a guy? On a date? Or on your wedding night? Cause I promise you you will. Don't do that to yourself.

Hayley Stark Wow... You know, that is so thoughtful! You are speaking to me so selflessly! I mean, you just don't want me to castrate you for my own benefit? Wow, I'm touched. Jeff, why don't we imagine someone saying the same thing to you at a random moment? Imagine that when you downloaded this little girl... I was sitting by your side saying "Stop! Don't do that to yourself!". Would you have listened?

Consequences of Guilt and Accountability

Jeff Kohlver Look, I'm not the monster you think I am. But, okay, I crossed a line. Just call the cops. I'll turn myself in.

Hayley Stark Cute Pedophile Pleads Guilty. Aww, it's not his fault. He's sick. He has an addiction.

[as if narrating a headline]

Jeff Kohlver I'll do jail. Isn't, isn't that what should happen?

Hayley Stark Yeah. You might. You might get jail time. I dunno: therapy, drugs, group discussions, notifying people when you move into a new house. How bad is that, really?

Jeff Kohlver It'll ruin my career, ruin my life.

Hayley Stark Well, didn't ] just win an Oscar?

[[Roman Polanski]

Hard Candy

The Truth Behind First Impressions

Hayley Stark You really just don't look like the kind of guy who needs to meet girls over the internet.

Jeff Kohlver Well, I think it's better to meet people online first, sometimes. You get to know what they're like inside. When you work as a photographer, you find out real quick people's faces lie.

Hayley Stark Does my face lie?

Power Dynamics and Dark Humor in Dialogue

Hayley Stark Turns out castration is one of the easiest surgical procedures around. There's thousands of farmboys across the country gelding their livestock. If they can do it, I think I can pull it off. If you know what I mean.

Jeff Kohlver I'm not fucking livestock.

Hayley Stark You keep telling yourself that, stud.

Hard Candy

Loneliness and Trust in Confrontation

Jeff Kohlver Look, look. I've been lonely, okay? And that makes me stupid, but I am not a pedophile. Look, this is some horrible mistake. Just untie me now and we'll forget this whole thing ever happened. Just untie me now!

[while tied to a chair]

Hayley Stark Okay, well you know what? I am not lonely and therefore not stupid. I untie you, you might understandably be a little peeved. So when I am ready to go, I'll call a cab and call another one to let you loose.

Jeff Kohlver And when will that be?

Hayley Stark I'm not sure yet.

Transition from Playfulness to Seriousness

Jeff Kohlver Why, uhh, why do I get, tied up first if, if this is how we're gonna play?

[shakes his head weakly as he awakes from a drug induced stupor]

Hayley Stark Jeff, playtime is over... Now it's time to wake up.

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom

Food Preference During a Heroic Moment

Arthur I win. Topo, go back to Atlantis and give them our coordinates. You know what’d be amazing right now?

[''To Orm'']

Orm Reinforcements?

Arthur Great, big, greasy cheeseburger and a pint of Guinness. You gotta admit, the food is so much better up here.

[''Mimics gulping'']

Orm I find that hard to believe.

Arthur Hold up. You telling me you never went topside to have a cheeseburger?

Orm What?

Arthur Or a slice of ‘za? Pepperoni? Or a thick, juicy, medium raw steak with fries and a shake, and you dip it

Orm Even the words that surfaced wellers give their food sound disgusting.

Arthur You’ve let your prejudices stop you from enjoying half the world. You should think about that. It’s your loss, dude. Aw, yeah! Bet you never had one of these.

[''Spots cockroach''; ''Picks up cockroach'']

Orm What is it?

Arthur It’s a cockroach.

Orm You eat it?

Arthur Oh, yeah. Shrimp of the land.

Orm Mmm. Mmm.

[''Biting end of cockroach'']

Arthur Eh? That’s good. Here, drink this. Okay, you first. Are you seeing this?

[''Break apart coconut to discover its rotten''; ''Spots giant grasshoppers on top of giant mouse carcass'']

Orm That’s not normal?

Arthur Definitely not normal. Ugh.

Orm Let’s get out of here.

Arthur You see how dangerous the orichalcum can be? I bet it mutated the flora and fauna in a short amount of time, turning them... monstrous. Whoa.

[''After running from cockroaches, they come to a deep cliff end'']

Orm We have to jump. We’ll survive the fall.

Arthur Are you crazy? It’s gonna hurt.

Orm What do you wanna do, stay here and fight the hopping demons?

Arthur What is that? What does that say?

[''Spots writing on a building holding up giant statue'']

Orm The writing is ancient Atlantean. “A true king builds bridges.” What are you doing?! Got any more krillbrained ideas?

[''Arthur runs to building shoulder ramming it''; ''Statue topples over to other cliff edge'']

Arthur See? A true king builds bridges.

Orm That’s a metaphor!

Arthur Hey! I forgot to tell you. Mom says she loves you. She thinks about you all the time.

Orm Why the hell are you telling me this now?

Arthur I don’t know. I’m just tired of waiting for the right moment.

Nature vs. Nurture: A Personal Reflection

Jeff Kohlver Ah, so you and your mom are both wacked?

Hayley Stark I dunno. That's that whole nature versus nurture question, isn't it? Was I born a cute, vindictive little bitch or... did society make me that way? I go back and forth on that...

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom

Tension Builds Among Characters in Aquaman Scene

Orm We must be getting close to the radiation source. We should wait for Atlantis to receive your message. We can conduct reconnaissance in the meantime.

Arthur Yeah. Look, Loki, I’m not asking for your advice on this. You’ve already lived up to your end of the deal. So you can go on back to Azkaban for all I care.

Orm So, what’s your plan?

Arthur I don’t have one, yet. But he came after my wife, which means I’m gonna pull his tongue out of his butt.

Orm Arthur, you are the king. You cannot let this get personal.

Arthur This coming from the guy who turned the entire nation of Atlantis into his own private ego trip?

Orm My ego? You’re the one who swam through the front gate and challenged my claim for the throne.

Arthur Only because you’re trying to destroy the surface world.

Orm If you weren’t such an asshole, you’d still be king.

Arthur Unbelievable.

Orm Wait, wait! Wait! You took my throne and you don’t even want it?

Arthur Are you kidding me? I hate this job. Only reason I’m doing it is to keep Atlantis from destroying the surface. And I might even be screwing that up.

Orm You really had no ambition for it?

Arthur Absolutely not.

Orm From the day my father found out you existed, he prepared me for the moment that you would come and challenge me for the throne.

Arthur Wow, that’s really sad. Especially when you think how easily I kicked your ass with basically no prep time whatsoever.

Orm Roasted.

[''Smacks lips'']

Arthur That is not how it happened.

Orm That’s exactly how it happened. Mera saved you.

Arthur No, she didn’t. I kicked your ass.

Orm Nope. She made the little water tornado. I fell in it.

Arthur Okay, shut up. I think we’re here. Sleep, aloha.

[''Mimics bird call and they come upon Atlantean guard who he knocks out'']

Orm Come on, let’s do this.

Arthur Once this is over with, we should go get some burgers and beers.

Orm Don’t push it.

Arthur Tacos and tequila.

Orm I don’t even know those words.

Guard Huh?

Arthur Shh!

Guard Hey!

[''Orm knocks him out and they run up to the control center'']

Arthur Whoa, brother! Sasa!

[''Stops Orm from shooting a guard''; ''He then knocks out guard himself'']

Orm It’s an orichalcum furnace. All that stolen orichalcum. They’re just burning it up.

Arthur He’s heating the atmosphere on purpose.

Orm This is catastrophic. This whole place must be heat shielded to protect it from the surface’s thermal satellites.

Arthur Question is, how do we stop ’em?

Orm To take out this reactor, we would have to crater the entire island.

Dr. Shin Get away from there! Now! This blaster may be ancient, but it was built for killing Atlanteans. Okay, I am so sorry. I did not mean that. I just didn’t want you to break me in half before I could surrender. Please take me with you.

[''Aiming gun at Arthur and Orm''; ''Holds up both hands'']

Arthur Knock him out and then help me hide these bodies.

Dr. Shin No, no. Wait, please. I didn’t want any of this. All I wanted was to see Atlantis with my own eyes. I thought I could share its wonders with the world. I’m a scientist, and I just wanted to be taken seriously. David Kane said he could help me, but now he won’t let me leave.

Orm You expect us to believe you have nothing to do with this?

Dr. Shin I know. I’ve done things I’m not proud of. But he would’ve killed me if I hadn’t.

Arthur Knock him out.

[''Scoffs'']

Orm No.

Arthur Then I’ll knock him out.

Orm No!

Arthur What?

Orm No.

Arthur Fine! You can come with us.

[''Grunts'']

Dr. Shin Oh... thank you.

Arthur But you better start talking. Or I’m gonna give you one sasa!

Dr. Shin Okay, okay. It’s the black trident. It’s a direct link to some ancient evil. It gives Kane great powers and in return-

[''Explosion blows Arthur and Orm out of window'']

Arthur I hate when that happens.

Hard Candy

Stalking and Connection in Digital Encounters

Jeff Kohlver You've been stalking me?

Hayley Stark Okay, okay, let's get something straight. You have been stalking me. I went into different chat rooms with different nicknames and you would get to know each one. And as soon as you found out they were any bit older than me you would just drop them like that. You took your time sniffing out someone my age.

Jeff Kohlver I didn't talk to the others because they were boring. You and I connected.

Hayley Stark Right.

[nodding sarcastically]

Jeff Kohlver Oh, come on, you think I faked all that?

Hayley Stark You know, actually, it's kinda funny. Because every time I would mention some obscure singer or band, you knew so much about them. But not right away, it was like a few minutes later. Maybe enough time to look them up on the web? Jeff, you used the same phrases about Goldfrapp as they do on Amazon.com. Busted! Oh and by the way, I fucking hate Goldfrapp.

Alex Murphy What are you talking about?

Michael MacCauley You called me. You knew about the witness. You... you knew what they saw.

Alex Murphy Yeah, I told you what happened.

Michael MacCauley It was a cop who killed him. You set me up.

Facing Uncertainty Before a Comeback Performance

Sarah Pierce You're nervous, aren't you?

Brad Adamson What? What do you mean?

Sarah Pierce The game. Don't worry. You'll be great tonight.

Brad Adamson I don't know. I haven't played in 10 years. It used to be my whole life. Then when I stopped, I just... stopped. I didn't even miss it. Now that I'm playing again, I... feel, I-- I don't know.

Sarah Pierce You feel alive.

Brad Adamson Yeah.

Sarah Pierce That's good. That's how you're supposed to feel.

The Art of Persuasion and Defiance

Confrontation of Perception and Reality

Jeff Kohlver Look, I'm a decent guy. Ask anyone. Go ahead. Ask these models. Call them; they'll tell you.

Hayley Stark Of course they will. You're not an idiot, Jeff. You don't piss where you live. Those girls were your work, and I, on the other hand, was your play.

Jeff Kohlver You were coming on to me!

Hayley Stark Oh, come on. That's what they always say, Jeff.

Jeff Kohlver Who?

Hayley Stark Who? The pedophiles! "Oh, she was so sexy. She was asking for it. She was only technically a girl, she acted like a woman." It's just so easy to blame a kid, isn't it? Just because a girl knows how to imitate a woman, does NOT mean she's ready to do what a woman does! I mean, you're the grown-up here. If a kid is experimenting and says something flirtatious, you ignore it, you don't encourage it. If a kid says "Heeey, let's make Screwdrivers!", you take the alcohol away and you don't race them to the next drink!
