11 scenes Evan at 7 [Evan tells Kayleigh to cover her ears]
What time is it?
Mr. George Miller
It's time for you to do what I tell you to do...
Evan at 7 Wrong answer **** bag. This is the very moment of your reckoning. In the next 30 seconds you're gonna open 1 of 2 doors. The first door will forever traumatize your own flesh and blood.
Mr. George Miller
What's happening, how are you doing this?
Evan at 7 It'll change your daughter from a beautiful child into an empty shell. Whose only concept of trust was betrayed by her own sick pedophile father. Ultimately... it'll lead to her suicide. Nice work Daddy.
Mr. George Miller
Who are you?
Evan at 7 Let's just say you're being closely watched, George. Your other option is... to treat Kayleigh like, say like a loving father treats his daughter. Sound okay to you, Papa?
Mr. George Miller
Yes.
Evan at 7 Listen close then ****bag. You screw this up again - I'll flat-out castrate you. What you need to do, is discipline your son Tommy cause the kid is one sadistic pup. One last thing...
[Evan whispers something in Kayleigh's ear] [yelling at her father]
Don't ever touch me again!
Mr. George Miller
I won't.

Hey Man, I'd think twice about what you're doing. You could wake up a lot more **** up than you are now.
Evan More **** up than I am? You think you know me? I don't even know me!
Where'd you learn those new tricks?
Evan What? It... it wasn't... weird... was it?
Yeah, if you call multiple orgasms weird!
Evan I just thought that you should know.
Know what?
Evan That you were happy once... with me.
You know there's one major hole in your story, there is no **** way on this planet, nor any other I would ever be in some **** sorority.
Evan [Whispering]
You were happy there...
[Evan visits Kayleigh, who has now become a prostitute]
So, how's tricks? Sorry, occupational humor.
Evan I got it.
Evan [in the reality where Kayleigh is with Lenny]
So, do you think it might have worked?
Yeah... But that's not how things wound up... I'm with Lenny, Lenny is your friend... and that's where it ends.
Evan Whoa... Would it make a difference if I told you that no one could possibly ever love anyone as much as I love you?
Evan [Kayleigh is flattered by Evan's compliment]
...I am not saying that, I am just saying it like if you were a girl, would that be something you would want to hear?
Evan Where's Kayleigh?
Lenny
Who's Kayleigh?
Lenny
[Evan looks confused]
You want me to take you to the doctor?

I hate you and if you ever come near me again, I'll kill you and your whole damn family.
[runs, crying to mom]
Evan [inaudible to Kayleigh]
Good bye...
