- Darlene: You know I always thought it was crazy we got away with this plan.
- Cisco: C'mon. Let's just get some rest.
- Darlene: [Ignoring him] I thought there was something special about me that made it happen. But it wasn't me. It's always been him. Never any of us. When I was five, our parents' took us to Coney Island, my dad's idea of an Alderson family outing. I remember looking up at this roller coaster thinking it was the highest thing I'd ever seen. Of course I wasn't tall enough so my dad went with Elliot while I waited with my mom. I don't remember how exactly but I ended up getting lost. Most kids get scared shitless when they're alone but... I loved it. All of a sudden I felt someone grab me by the waist and pick me up, and I didn't fight back. It was this old woman, she was skinny and tall, she had this smeared, almost pink lipstick. We went to Nathan's and she said I could have whatever I wanted. It was the first time I ever felt special. We started driving to her house, and I definitely remember thinking something wasn't right, but I just looked at her and her lipstick and let it happen. And so we got to her house and she showed me my room where it had one of those beds with curtains around it. And I did feel like a princess, and kept thinking that I didn't have to leave and see my parents ever again. It was like a wish I had that all of a sudden came true. And I went to bed hoping that this wasn't all a dream and I was going to wake up in my own bed. And sure enough the next morning I was still there, but then the police barged in and when they took me downstairs, there were police everywhere so I didn't get to see the woman again, or say goodbye. And then they took me to their car and drove me home. I keep thinking what my life would have been like if I stayed but then I wouldn't have Elliot.
