Lila Summers: eyes wide B-babe, y-you don't understand. I-I had to do it.
Lila Summers: nervously biting her lip I, uh, I may have falsified some identities... and, okay, I might have stolen some stuff. But it's all for us, babe! For our future!
I can't believe you would do that.
Lila Summers: crosses arms defiantly Look, I did what I had to do to protect us. It's called surviving in this crazy world, you know?
That's not what I meant. I say to her, leaning forward against the table where she had been standing. What did you steal?
Lila Summers: stutters W-well, let me explain, okay? It's not as bad as it looks. paces around the room
Lila Summers: Alright, alright! So, you know how we've been struggling financially, right? Well, I thought I could help out by, uh, acquiring some...
Lila Summers: nervously fidgets with her hair By acquiring some high-end fashion items, okay? Just a few here and there to, you know, make us look rich and all that jazz.
And this is what got you arrested?
Lila Summers: puts her hands on her hips Arrested?! No way! It was just a little shoplifting, nothing major.
A little shoplifting that resulted in you being arrested.
Lila Summers: rolls her eyes Oh please, it was nothing! Just some fancy shoes and a designer handbag. Big deal!
How did you get away if it was nothing?
During the interrogation, Lila reveals a secret life as a thief and con artist.
So you're saying you didn't steal these items?
Lila Summers: exhales sharply No, no, of course not! I mean, yeah, maybe I did "acquire" them, but it's not like I sold them or anything!
You used them for personal gain.
Lila Summers: crosses her arms defensively Yeah, so what? It's not like I hurt anyone.
Lila Summers: laughs nervously Hurt anyone? Of course not! I'm a good person, okay? Just a little... creative with the truth.
You told the cops that you were at your job when you were really stealing.
Lila Summers: stutters Look, I... I didn't mean to lie, okay? I just wanted to protect you! You know how important you are to me, right?
Why would you do such a thing?
Lila Summers: runs her fingers through her hair, visibly agitated Look, babe, you have to understand.
Lila Summers: grabs orderly's arm Okay, okay, listen up! It's not like I have a choice, you know?
Lila Summers: grits her teeth I mean, come on, babe! You know the deal with my family, right? My parents are stingy as hell! They barely support me, and now they want us to live under their roof? It's like they expect me to be their personal servant or something!
