- Priscilla Blaine: Mama... are you awake? I couldn't sleep. I haven't slept in days. Last night in the dark, I looked at myself in the mirror and all I could see were the whites of my eyes... and I knew how scared I really was. Are you dreaming, Mama? Remember Abilene, Mama? How the towns clicked by and I begged you to stop the train? Lexington, Nashville, Little Rock. I was sick for a thousand miles... and I hated you for it. Well, Mama, you sleep. Me, I'm getting off this train. I'm tired now, Mama. When you wake up, don't be angry that I'm gone. It's my turn to sleep.
- Dr. Seliger: Unfortunately, it falls under the category of privilege.
- Mike Logan: Whose? I mean, the girl's dead.
- Dr. Seliger: Privilege does survive the death of a patient.
- Phil Cerreta: Does that include prescription history, doctor?
- Dr. Seliger: Priscilla asked me for something a few weeks ago. I told her I didn't think it was necessary.
- Mike Logan: Yeah, because her friends are telling us she didn't even like painkillers.
- Dr. Seliger: I'd say that was an accurate statement. Really, I wish I could help.
- Phil Cerreta: Doctor, we understand that. Now bottom line, we just want to know who can waive that privilege.
- Dr. Seliger: If the court appoints a personal representative, they'd have the authority to sign a waiver on Priscilla's behalf.
- Phil Cerreta: Ah.
- Dr. Seliger: It would probably be her mother.
- Adam Schiff: So they might believe the girl committed suicide, but the defense will appeal. Admission of the tape was reversible error.
- Ben Stone: Judge Hale didn't think the tape was overly prejudicial.
- Adam Schiff: Even if the girl did kill herself, it's tough to prove that the mother's behavior was the proximate cause of her death.
- Ben Stone: And we're almost there. The tape went a long way to prove that. Mrs. Blaine knew that acting in those films was making her daughter suicidal.
- Adam Schiff: Yeah, but if she doesn't take the stand, you've got no way of proving what she knew or didn't know. And Pollard's no fool. He's been around. No way he's gonna put her on the stand. No way you're gonna make your case.
- Paul Robinette: What if it wasn't suicide after all? At the probate hearing Mrs. Blaine said that when Priscilla was nervous about starring in a film, she told her to talk to Angel about it.
- Ben Stone: At trial, Angel said Mrs. Blaine didn't want Priscilla around her.
- Paul Robinette: Maybe she knew Angel was getting drugs to get through the performance.
- Ben Stone: So Mrs. Blaine sent Priscilla to Angel to get the rugs to help her have sex on camera. So we change our theory? Priscilla didn't commit suicide, she OD'd? Mrs. Blaine not only forced her daughter to have sex on camera, but she gave her the drugs to help her do that. Ergo, she is guilty of her daughter's death.
- Paul Robinette: And with her prior testimony, we don't even need Mrs. Blaine on the stand.
- Patricia 'Patti' Blaine: My mother couldn't decide if I was Martha Graham or Helen Hayes.
- Phil Cerreta: Who were you?
- Patricia 'Patti' Blaine: I was Patty Blaine. So I got out before I wasn't.
- Paul Robinette: It's like a fairy tale.
- Ben Stone: Which one?
- Paul Robinette: Mirror, mirror, on the wall...
- Ben Stone: She looked at her daughter and saw herself.
- Paul Robinette: Somehow I don't think she'll ever realize what she did was wrong.
- Ben Stone: No, you're probably right, but it's scary.
- Paul Robinette: What is?
- Ben Stone: That an emotion like love can do so much damage.
- Ben Stone: In your new film, was Priscilla Blaine expected to perform sex acts on screen?
- Director Franklin Frome: Tastefully, yes.
- Angel Greer: [talking to the cops about Priscilla] It's so weird. *I* was supposed to be the one to die. I tested positive last month.
- [Logan sits down]
- Angel Greer: Price of business. I made a thousand bucks a day.
- Mike Logan: Are you gonna make your kids do things they don't want?
- Phil Cerreta: From the time they're on this earth. 'Brush your teeth, do your homework, you're grounded'.
- Mike Logan: That's not the same.
- Elizabeth Blaine: [about Priscilla] But I loved her. She was my life!
- Ben Stone: No, she was your daughter. She had a life of her own.
