Sarah: No, you can ask me anything.
Freddie: That hat must be magic.
(Few minutes later)
Thomas: Sarah said she wasn't here when Timmy returned the spray cans and no one could come in because she locked the door.
Freddie: Wait so how did Timmy get in.
Timmy: I went in the office and woman at the desk has spare keys for every room.
Mark: So Timmy still might be guilty.

Alex: I said enough.
Thomas: Doesn't it make you go crazy, feel pathetic, useless, a MORON.
Alex: Don't dare say that or I'll do something worse to you then what I did to your brother.
(Everybody shocked)
Alex: Well played.
Timmy: But why, I thought we were friends.
Alex: That's why intelligence is wasted on you, it should to belong to people who do anything to get what they want.
