Hard Candy

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?

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...

Jeff Kohlver: Those letters are mine. Hayley Stark: Nothing's yours when you invite a teenager into your home.

Jeff Kohlver: [shakes his head weakly as he awakes from a drug induced stupor] Why, uhh, why do I get, tied up first if, if this is how we're gonna play? Hayley Stark: Jeff, playtime is over... Now it's time to wake up.

Jeff Kohlver: [while tied to a chair] 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! 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.

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! [pause] 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!
