ironic, isn't it?
1:12:06
You still don't know what that word means.
1:12:09
Metaphoric, yes.
1:12:11
Symbolic, maybe.
1:12:13
But there's no irony involved.
1:12:16
would you please look that word up?
1:12:18
Oh, I am on to you, Mrs. Tingle. you're over.
1:12:22
you're trying to take as many
people with you as you can,

1:12:24
but I am not scared of you.
1:12:27
Who do you think you're fooling?
1:12:29
you're so scared, I can smell it.
1:12:31
Your fear is the most predictable
thing about you.

1:12:37
You've lived your whole life in fear
1:12:40
terrified of making a mistake;
1:12:43
scared to death you won't get that A,
1:12:45
that scholarship, that ticket out,
1:12:48
afraid you'll never escape
your mother and her name tag,

1:12:53
or your father who won't return your calls.
1:12:58
That's why you've shunned Luke...
1:13:00
and every other boy who's ever
tried to lay his hands on you.

1:13:04
You're afraid of getting that bad seed,
1:13:07
afraid of giving birth
to a child you never wanted,

1:13:10
a child you could only blame for
your own wretched existence

1:13:13
stuck in a small town with a small life,
1:13:17
destined to become that very thing
you despise the most.

1:13:20
I know all about it, Leigh Ann.
1:13:23
I wrote the book.
1:13:27
I know you.
