Bang Bang You're Dead

Chief Bud McGee: Why do you bring a video camera to school? Trevor: The same reason you bring a gun to work. To shoot people. Val Duncan: Trevor. Just because I cast you as a bad guy doesn't mean you have to play the part.

Trevor: Do you even know anything about me? Jenny Dahlquist: Well kids say some stuff. Trevor: What stuff? Jenny Dahlquist: Some crazy stuff about you threating to blow up the football team. Trevor: [small laugh and smile] It's true. Jenny Dahlquist: How'd you get to that place? Trevor: You ever been low? Jenny Dahlquist: You mean like depressed? Trevor: [nods] Jenny Dahlquist: Well I mean sometimes, but I've never thought about blowing up the football team. Trevor: Jenny, I don't mean depressed like your dog died. I mean where you feel like you've got nothing to lose where you don't, you don't care if you live or die. That kind of depressed. You ever been there? Jenny Dahlquist: No. Trevor: Okay, well, I have.

Val: It made perfect sense to you last year when you made the bomb threat. Trevo: I don't know what you mean. Val: You know exactly what I mean. You made the bomb threat, endangered lots of kids lives, you took the first step toward killing. Trevor: Did anyone die? Val: That's beside the point. Trevor: What's the point? Val: The point is you took that step. Trevor: The bomb was empty. Val Duncan: And perfectly made. Trevor: Totally harmless. Val Duncan: But most people don't take that step. You did. And who's to say you won't take the next step? Trevor: It went no further. Val Duncan: Josh did. Josh did. Why? Why, Trevor? What do you have that Josh doesn't have? What do you have that Josh doesn't have, Trevor? Fear of punishment, conscience, God, perhaps, Ten Commandments, too chicken. Whatever it is. Let's call it X. Now, tell me, Trevor, what would happen if I were to reach right into your soul and remove X? Trevor: I'd be Josh. Val Duncan: Yeah, you'd be Josh.
