  Francesca 'Frankie' Sutton : I thought we covered everything.

  Detective Strode : How well did you know the perpetrator?

  Francesca 'Frankie' Sutton : I've just known Darnell from around the way, is all. We live in the same projects.

  Detective Strode : Frankie, will you do me a favor? Just tell me one thing, and we'll get out of here.

  Detective Strode : You signal with the left. So you know the procedure.

  Francesca 'Frankie' Sutton : Yes, like I said, the procedure has been told to me over a million times.

  Detective Strode : So, why is it, if that procedure's been drummed into your head a million times... you got that procedure down... Why wouldn't you follow it? Huh?

  Francesca 'Frankie' Sutton : Because he had a gun! And I went for my clip, but he shot her! He shot her right in front of me!

  Mr. Zachery : I'm afraid, Miss Sutton, that we're going to have to let you go. The fact that you knew the perpetrator doesn't sit well with us.

  Mr. Zachery : What happens the next time one of your friends robs the bank? How do we know you're not in collusion?

  Francesca 'Frankie' Sutton : [angrily]  In COLLUSION? Let me tell you something! I am here at 8:20 sharp every morning and I work my ass off until quitting time. Yesterday, I counted $240,000 by hand for you! That's how you should KNOW! I mean, COME ON! This is just NOT RIGHT!
