Allison Jones, Hedra CarlsonAllison reflects on the events.
Allison JonesI don't want to try to be loved any more. And you know... I don't want to be scared any more. Or to kill any more. I don't want to kill any more. I don't want to be alone any more. I don't want to be anything any more. I don't need a reason to kill myself, I need a reason not to and there isn't one.
But this is it. I mean, there ain't much more. Just maybe a little fine tuning, that's it. I have some free time now, if you want us to set up some meeting with your colleagues.
Hey, look... I've been a good boy, haven't I ? And you've been a good girl. We have nothing to prove any more.
Oh... I just got in from the airport. Is she asleep ?
