Welcome back to B-Movie Enema and another entry in our Melissa Joan Hart Month!

This week, we have a staple of the network television movie – true crime. Quite frankly, if you’re curious when there was a time when true crime did not have an audience, the answer was never. Whether it was in books, or those old pamphlets that probably led to Jack the Ripper becoming really famous, or plays, or movies, true crime was always a way for people to rope in some audiences. Later, as networks like ABC, CBS, and NBC were making original movies to air as movies of the week, the 70s saw a lot of movies in the horror and thriller genres. However, as the 80s and 90s came along, most of the famous stuff was either historical epics or salacious true crime.

And salacious true crime is what we have for 1996’s Twisted Desire.

1996 was the pinnacle for Melissa Joan Hart’s career. She was two years removed from her star-making role as Clarissa Darling in Clarissa Explains It All. She had some guest appearances on other shows in 1994 and 1995. But in 1996, she got the role that would define her entire career and the one that would become more or less what people will immediately call her whenever she appears since then. She was cast as Archie Comics character Sabrina Spellman. First, she appeared in a TV movie pilot called, naturally, Sabrina the Teenage Witch. That dovetailed into a seven-season run on the series of the same name between two networks, ABC and WB.

She also appeared on the NBC TV Movie of the Week, Twisted Desire. This was the dramatization of a real story of mad love between two teenagers. In 1990, 14-year-old Jessica Wiseman asked her 17-year-old boyfriend, Douglas Christopher Thomas, to kill her parents, J.B. and Kathy Wiseman. The murder was committed on the morning of November 10, 1990, and it was a fairly open and shut case. Neither Douglas nor Jessica, when arrested and put on trial for first-degree murder, a capital crime that, for Douglas, carried the possible sentence of death in the Commonwealth of Virginia, denied anything they had done.

Douglas and Jessica’s relationship, kind of inappropriate for their ages at the time, and was said to be “intimate,” was in danger of being broken up by her parents. That’s when the decision came to kill them. In the end, it would be a conversation overheard by Douglas’ cousin, Lanie, that confirmed what the teen killers did. They were arrested, put on trial, and found guilty of two counts of first-degree murder. Jessica was sentenced to the maximum penalty for a minor, which was basically 18 months to no more than six years in juvenile prison. Douglas, though, was ultimately sentenced to death, despite pleading guilty, due to the “vileness” of the murder of Kathy Wiseman. He was eventually executed by way of lethal injection on January 10, 2000. Women who served time with Jessica, who finished her sentence when she turned 21, claimed she would talk about how she was the one who actually killed her parents, not Douglas, but she never admitted this publicly, nor did Douglas ever say this was the case either.

And so with that… Let’s get into the May 13, 1996, TV movie of the week, Twisted Desire. And, uh… Happy Valentine’s Day weekend, I guess.

Our date with a girl who decides she wants us to kill her parents starts very quickly with some seriously thrilling guitars as we actually see the crime being carried out. In black and white tones, we see the point of view of someone walking up to the house of the Stanton family. This person sneaks into the room of the patriarch and matriarch of the family, William and Susan, raises a gun, and shoots them. A young man is arrested.

Alright, so that should just about do it for this week’s B-Movie Enema. If I’m being honest, I was a bit surprised that the movie only had thrilling guitar music for a soundtrack and no actual dialogue. I’m also quite surprised that Melissa Joan Hart got top billing for only appearing in a photo on the dresser. But, what can I say? I like a movie that flies by and seemingly takes no time at all to get to the point, tell its story, and get the fuck outta there. So next week, Melissa Joan Hart Month continues with a horror film that…

What’s that?

There’s more movie?

Oh. Okay.

Three months earlier, we meet William Stanton, who is on his car phone, saying there is no way in hell that she’s going to let his daughter, Jennifer, go to a concert with that motherfucker she’s been dating, Brad. Okay, he doesn’t say that. Those are my words, not his. Though he does call him a motherfucker. I remember that being a big damn deal in 1996 when Daniel Baldwin called a kid a “motherfucker” on national television. Also, Dennis Franz didn’t just show his ass on NYPD Blue, he hung dong too.

Brad gets mad when Jennifer breaks the news that she can’t go out with him that night. He blames Jennifer for not being allowed to go to the concert. Who the hell is he going to find to take her $40 ticket??? She promises to go out with him the following night, but Brad says she’s gotta deal with her father first and that he might just as well break up with her. Also, fuck you, BRAD. Look at how incredibly cute Jennifer looks. That’s peak 90s look right there with the hair dancing on the top of the shoulders like that. Brad, you suck, Brad.

The next morning, Jennifer’s dad dislikes the clothes she decides to wear to school. This is largely a drab green cropped top that shows off her midriff. This was also peak 90s. Girls just showed their midriffs like that shit was going out of style. Actually, that’s not something that’s really gone out of style 30 years later. Anyway, he forces her to change her clothes, and she goes to pick up her friend, Karen. They stop at a gas station to fill up the car and for Jennifer to change back to her crop top.

This is when she first lays eyes on Nick Ryan, a boy who works at the gas station, and who accidentally walks in on her changing her top.

When she discovers she left her wallet at home and doesn’t have the Hammy to pay for the full tank, Nick lets her go as long as she makes good on a promise to return later with the money. Karen tells Jennifer that Nick just got out of jail. She’s not sure what he was in the slammer for, but she thinks it was for beating the shit out of a guy in a fight. Jennifer doesn’t exactly pay much notice to this other than the general tingles of a hot guy who spent time in prison.

Later, at the teenage version of prison, otherwise known as school, Brad tells Jennifer to beat cheeks because she can never go out except for weekends, and, even then, not past 10 o’clock. He decides to ask another baddie to that night’s big party. So the day’s not going so well for Jennifer. However, just before a test in one of her classes that she likely would flunk, she gets a note to go to the office. On the way, she runs into Nick. He found her wallet in the bathroom where she changed, tells her that he used to go to this school, and she pays him the $10 she owed for the gas.

He asks her to go to the same party she was just shut out of by her dickhead old boyfriend, Brad. At first, she declines the invitation. However, she decides to simply meet him there. She tells him to not pick her up because her dad is not a fan of shenanigans on school nights, but she’ll be there. And boy howdy does she meet him there.

However, in order to get out of the house on a school night, she and Karen spin a yarn to her parents about needing to study for a big history exam on the French Revolution. Before leaving with Karen to get ready for the party, she writes in her diary about how much she “hates him” and all sorts of other angry business. Karen tells Jennifer she shouldn’t lose any sleep over Brad. He’s a prick. He’s named Brad. It’s mathematically proven that, like, 99% of all Brads are pricks, dicks, or assholes.

Now, Jennifer doesn’t simply get ready for a party, oh no… She shows up to knock ’em all dead.

Uh oh, Spaghettios… No, I’m not referring to a peculiar loss of blood to my brain; I’m referring to the fact that Jennifer’s father has a scheme up his sleeve. After asking her what it was she was studying with Karen that night, he pulls out his old college books on French History. You know, because it’s fucking normal as hell to keep your 20-year-old college texts on a very specific topic lying around to someday use to find out if your daughter is really doing what she says she is doing that night.

He thinks it would be a great idea to call over to Karen’s house to find out if Jennifer would like to see this cool old book for something he’s sure she would “love” to see. Jennifer’s mom is wise to the shit that’s happening. She asks William to not do what he’s about to do. But because he’s a fucking Baldwin, he decides to place the phone call anyway. He soon learns that Jennifer and Karen went to this raging kegger. He shows up at the party, and while Jennifer and Brad talk about how she said she was going to make going to the party happen and that he may have some second thoughts after seeing that little silvery deal she’s wearing, William whisks Jennifer away to bring her home and lecture her about some shit.

After an argument with her parents, Jennifer goes to her room. She hears pebbles ricocheting off her window. Thems pebbles are being tossed by me. After she flips me off, closes her curtains, and I leave, Nick shows up and tosses new pebbles at her window. He tells her she’s not seen the last of him, and he’s pretty into her.

This upcoming weekend, William and Susan are planning to go on a weekend trip. However, William’s parents call to say they can’t watch Jennifer while they are away. Susan actually goes to bat for her daughter and convinces William to allow her to stay alone for the weekend. She even says that he is acting like his father for riding her so hard, and he did ten times as many things and worse than she has done. So he agrees to let her stay by herself. Immediately after leaving for their trip, Jennifer goes to see Nick.

This includes going over to Nick’s house and him showing off his grandfather’s Luger that he took and killed a Nazi with in World War II (based). They go to the park and play tag around a water fountain, where they kiss. They then return to her place. Here, Nick decides the giddiness of showing off a Luger used to kill another human being wasn’t enough of a red flag. He raises another by talking about how he is always used to things turning bad. His mother died giving birth to him, and his father beat the shit out of him for that.

She takes a watch that belonged to her grandfather and gives it to Nick. I’m sure in no way, shape, or form this will come back as evidence or whatever. Now, they get down to sexy times… In her parents’ bed. Speaking of her parents, they come home from their trip. I’m not sure if Jennifer just fucked up and had him over too long or if they came back early. Either way, they catch Nick and Jennifer in their sexy times. William chases Nick out of the house, but the funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time comes after. William scolds Jennifer for the sexy times while Susan is taking the sheets off to do the laundry. Because Nick and Jennifer’s, um… juices are all over them. Probably. I’m not too sure he actually, you know… But still. You never actually see the parents of the kid who got caught in their bed having sex with her boyfriend having to actually clean up after them. It’s funny, yes, but also logical, and the everyday type of thing you don’t normally see done within dramatic business in a scene. Perfection. No notes.

After being told that she will not be allowed to leave for anything outside of school, she goes to her room and calls Nick for him to pick her up. She tells him that she’s scared, and after she hangs up the phone, she looks in the mirror at a black eye. With Nick, she tells him that her father did that to her. Nick wants to have words with William, but he drops her off at home.

Susan waits for Jennifer in her room and confronts her about how selfish she is. She tells Jennifer she always stood up for her, but her own actions have changed her opinion of her. She’s done standing up for Jennifer. Largely because Jennifer fucked in her bed, and she had to do that late-night laundry after being gone all weekend.

My words, not hers, but I have to assume that was part of it.

So shit starts escalating pretty quickly. Nick decides to go to the Stanton household to speak to William and Susan directly. They decline to hear him out about how he loves Jennifer. William has a man-to-man conversation after telling Susan to go back inside. Nick warns William about how he treats Jennifer (calling back to the black eye that I’m pretty sure was fake but not explicitly revealed to be so earlier). William says, “Oh yeah… Well, actu-al-lee… You statutory raped my daughter.” William then tells Nick to pound sand before he kicks his scrawny ass.

Nick leaves a message on Jennifer’s machine that he doesn’t care what her father says, he’s gonna be with her no matter what it takes. The next morning, William calls a guy who knows a cop. William shows Susan and Jennifer that his windshield is smashed. Assuming it was Nick, he speaks to Detective Becker, played by the always great Kurt Fuller. Becker isn’t so sure there’s much that really connects Nick to his smashed windshield. That’s when William says, “Well, I also think he forced himself on my daughter!” So now Becker is going to keep an eye on this guy for William.

Jennifer overhears William and Susan talking about his meeting with Becker and the various ideas being tossed around about what to do. Susan’s idea is to send Jennifer to stay with William’s parents. William’s idea is to have Nick arrested the moment he comes near Jennifer. The next day, Jennifer convinces Karen to loan her car to go see Nick. Nick tells Jennifer he did not smash the windshield because, for how full of raging hormones that he is, he’s not going to do something like that after a small argument. It’s not exactly explicitly said, but I think it might have actually been Jennifer who smashed the windshield. I digress.

At Nick’s, Jennifer tells him that she’s going to be sent to her grandparents and they will never see each other again. She’s faked more bruises to make Nick think that her father is beating her. She then drops the bomb that William told the cops that he raped her. She tells Nick that her father will not stop until they are broken up. While Nick looks at his grandfather’s Luger, he laments how he has just found something really good for the first time in his life, and it’s about to be taken away.

To her friends, Jennifer seems to be in much better spirits. Jennifer starts planning a sleepover with them on her first night after she’s released from her grounding. Nick and Jennifer discuss how he will sneak in through her window while she’s at the sleepover so he can kill her parents. He’s not so sure about this plan. He would like to think there is some other way for them to be together. She says that, nope… This is the only way. William never changes.

So, the night of the slumber party is here. The girls do what girls do at these things. They put on face masks. They watch a movie. They talk about hot guys. They eat popcorn. I’m not sure when the sexy pillow fight is scheduled, but I’m sure they still have that on the docket or have already done it. Anyway, in the movie they are watching, Jennifer’s friends comment on how the sexy leading man looks like Nick. They ask her about the details of her and Nick’s break-up. She plays it off that he was too wild for her. Karen says she knows how to control a hot wild guy like Nick. Jennifer looks at her as if those gorgeous blue eyes of hers are saying, “I will cut a bitch.”

When her friends go to sleep, Jennifer sneaks out to meet wild boy Nick. They drive over to her house in his grandpa’s car to carry out the murder. As they prepare, Nick says he’s not too sure he can go through with this. In fact, Jennifer will be 18 soon. At that point, she can get away from them, and they will be able to get out from under William’s tyranny. She says that he will never leave them alone, and this is the only way to save their love.

When they are walking toward her parents’ bedroom, Nick is still not so sure he can actually go through with this. When they see that Susan and William are asleep, Jennifer urges Nick to go through with it and tells him that she loves him. He raises the Luger and fires multiple times while he trembles and seems still pretty uncertain, and she winces in horror.

This is a particularly good scene. I’ll have a lot more to say about how good this movie really is, especially for the genre that it exists in and the era in which it was released, but this scene has a lot going for it. This entire scene is full of a lot of nuance from both Melissa Joan Hart and Jeremy Jordan. While Jordan is kind of operating from a slightly less nuanced position, the entirety of him not sure if he can go through with it, and requiring all the urging from Hart’s Jennifer gives you a chance to fully understand that this kid is desperate for something better, even if he ultimately makes the worst possible choice he could make. He’s found a girl he can kind of rest all his hopes on actually having a life with, though in a really unhealthy way. He’s both troubled and trying to be good. This is all really great stuff from him. He’s thrown up a few red flags, but they were so subtle that all of it starts to spill out of the seams here in the ten or so minutes leading up to the murder of Jennifer’s parents.

However, it’s Melissa Joan Hart who has to carry this movie. Okay, Jordan has to do some stuff with subtlety and nuance, and Daniel Baldwin is just playing a “villain.” It’s our #1 gal who really has to do a lot of carrying the load. If she isn’t convincing as a teenage girl who is experiencing an extremely mad and unhealthy love, this whole thing falls apart. It’s a really strong performance. She is not a good girl. She is selfish. However, she can turn on a sweet smile or have a glint in her eye that either exudes an attempt at being the perfect daughter OR a tinge of jealousy when her best friend lusts after Nick. She squirms away from Nick to play at being beaten by her father, when we have no reason to believe, nor have we seen, this to be true. In the murder scene, she urges Nick to pull the trigger, but also reacts negatively to seeing her parents get massacred. It’s maybe her very best work. You really do believe her in all the facets of what this character is.

Anyway, I digress because we really need to get into the second half of this movie (yeah, sorry, this movie is frontloaded with a lot of really good and important stuff).

I remember what happens next from when I originally watched this movie back in 1997 or 1998. I thought this was pretty clever in terms of filmmaking. After the murders, Karen’s mom comes in to try to find Jennifer to tell her about what happened to her parents. At first, you think the jig is immediately up because she’s not lying on the floor where Karen says she is. But then she comes out of the bathroom and acts unaware of anything being wrong. It’s a good little piece of misdirection.

Another great piece of misdirection comes when Jennifer leaves her house after telling Karen she needs to deal with some stuff alone. You think she’s going to see Nick. No, she actually goes to talk to Brad. She cries and tells him about her parents being killed. When Brad embraces her and tells her everything is going to be alright, her tears disappear into an accomplished grin.

William’s parents and Jennifer talk to Detective Becker. Becker says it’s likely an intruder in the middle of the night that snuck in around 2 or 3 in the morning and killed them. They ask Jennifer some questions about her parents. Becker then asks her about Nick Ryan and asks if he would be capable of killing them. Jennifer’s reaction to being asked about Nick tips the detectives off to not only him being a potential suspect, but if she’s possibly involved in the killing of her own parents.

Becker questions Nick about his relationship with Jennifer. He tells the detective that they broke up. Becker tells Nick that Jennifer’s parents were murdered. Nick tells Becker that he has no idea who would want to kill the Stantons. He also says he never went upstairs at the Stantons. Becker’s partner, Daniels, doesn’t think Nick is the type to kill the parents. Daniels mentions that Jennifer also stands to cash in on $1.5 million in life insurance.

During the Stantons’ funeral, Nick spots Jennifer being consoled by Brad. Karen also asks Jennifer when the whole thing with Brad started back up again. Nick then comes over to Jennifer’s house to ask about who the guy was and why she’s dressed in bright colors and looking like she’s about to go out on a date. She hurries him off, claiming the detectives are coming down the road. When he leaves, she gets picked up by Brad. While Brad and Jennifer go on their date, she calls a tip in as to where the police can find the Luger and the discharged shells when he practiced shooting it.

While Brad and Jennifer fuck in his car, Nick is arrested by Becker and Daniels. They have his fingerprints in their room and on the gun. Daniels pleads with Nick to tell them the truth. He even leads Nicks into revealing that it wasn’t entirely his idea to murder the Stantons. Becker shows Nick pictures of the crime scene to try to break him. Daniels, though, doesn’t agree that this is the whole story. He still thinks Jennifer convinced him to pull the trigger.

This part of the movie becomes a cat-and-mouse game. Becker believes Nick acted alone. Daniels has a hunch that isn’t true. He interrogates Jennifer and even says that they asked Nick about some stuff, and he told them to ask her about that night. She counters by playing a phone message Nick left her about how her father can’t keep them apart, no matter what. She places the blame on Nick, and plays things off as if she was scared of him and how he was obsessed with her. Daniels still isn’t totally convinced. He thinks she’s just a really good actress.

A problem arises when Karen finds a really important piece of evidence in her car. That day at school when she loaned her car to Jennifer was also the same day that Jennifer and Nick made their final plans to kill her parents. She and Nick were in the car while he loaded the Luger. One of the bullets fell under her car seat, and when she was pulling something out from under the seat, she found the bullet. She begins acting weird around Jennifer. That’s only exacerbated when Jennifer acts flippantly about clothes she wants to donate or what she could wear to court for Nick’s trial when she’s on the stand. She also discovers that Jennifer wrote notes to Brad, breaking things off between him and the girlfriend he had before Jennifer.

She also finds Jennifer’s diary that details everything that happened. So, Karen goes straight to Nick and visits him. She explains to Nick what was in the diary. Jennifer also had to be the one who had the tip about where to find the gun and his fingerprints. She explains how Jennifer called him a loser in the diary and how his freezing almost forced her to kill her parents herself. She also reveals that the bruises and black eye that Nick believed came from William were just makeup. Karen tells Nick that Jennifer is really good at using and manipulating people, and he needs to really think about telling the police everything she had to do with the murders.

Jennifer followed Karen to the police station. She then goes inside herself to talk to Nick. She plays off how she wiped off the gun and that it’s impossible they have the gun the police claimed they had. He asks her about her father abusing her. He says that was why they did the murders. She yells about how he is a sick son of a bitch and hopes he dies for what they did to her parents.

He then tells the cops everything. He says the idea to kill her parents was entirely her idea. He explains that there is a diary that has everything in it. When Jennifer gets back to Karen’s house, Karen tells her to get out, and she’s pretty pissed off about Jennifer planning the killing of her parents. The police find the diary, and the pages are different than what Karen told him. It entirely backs up all of the charges against him. If it is introduced as evidence in the trial against Nick, he’s fuuuuuuucked.

Nick calls Karen and accuses her of lying to him about the diary, but Karen accuses Jennifer of doing something to it. Karen sneaks into the Stantons’ house to find the real diary, but is nearly caught when Jennifer and her grandparents come home. Karen sneaks out and goes home, where she’s still got one more smoking gun she found in her car – that bullet. However, that too is missing. Back at Jennifer’s, Jennifer takes the real diary and burns the pages in the fireplace. Karen tries to tell Becker that she had the bullet, but he’s not really listening to her. After all, she told a story about the diary that turned out not to really help any kind of case against Jennifer.

At the trial against Nick, Jennifer gives testimony about how creepy Nick was and how he had to have killed her parents. It’s fairly convincing. Karen confronts Jennifer about how she won’t get away with it. Jennifer reveals she’s got a “big, scary bullet” she found that will surely have Karen’s fingerprints all over it, so basically, don’t fuck with her.

Nick is found guilty of first degree murder. After the trial, she asks Brad to come over to celebrate with her. He kind of brushes her off, but she tells him he will be there; she knows it. At first, it looks like he will stand her up, but he arrives. He takes her for a drive and says stuff like how people had been rough on her all her life. Brad tells her Karen told her what really happened, but he’s not there to judge them. He realizes what she did was for them. Now they can be together. He tells her he doesn’t want to hide anything from each other. She eventually says, “I did it so we could be together.” That’s when she realizes ol’ Bradley boy is wearing a wire.

She’s arrested. It’s said that she was found guilty but was tried as a juvenile and will be released at the age of 21. Nick is still in prison. That lines up with the true story this was based upon. Of course, at that time, the real-life version of Nick Ryan was not yet executed.

Twisted Desire is a pretty damn good movie… for the most part. I will say the third act kind of dips a little bit, but the first two acts, and the first half of the movie as a whole, are really pretty good. It’s a cut above this type of stuff that would play on network television before Lifetime made a whole genre out of these types of scandalous thrillers. Largely, this is better for a couple of reasons. The first is that there is enough gray area in how this movie is constructed that you can kind of identify with both sides of the Stanton family. William is controlling and a little too up Jennifer’s ass. But also… Jennifer is a little too up her own ass too. This movie isn’t trying to paint William and Susan Stanton as the bad guys. Jennifer gives plenty of reasons to see her as the ultimate villain, but you can also understand some of her early positions around how her parents do kind of suck.

There are movies that do this very poorly. The kids who just want to be in love with each other, and cannot be together, only because parents are too much of a stick in the mud to allow their kids to be happy. In almost every case of what I call the “mad love” subgenre of romance movies, the level-headed parents, even if they have to use tough love tactics, should come out as the most proper and mature side of things. Of course, there can be an argument made to understand and identify with the young lovers’ side of those types of movies. However, they should not be the ones that most audiences should agree with.

Only Romeo and Juliet are in the absolute right to be the most identifiable and righteous parties in this subgenre. Anything outside stupid racial or class reasons for keeping two lovers apart should find the more mature parties in the ultimate right. The Stantons were right to maybe not allow Jennifer to see a guy who came to the door to demand an audience with them over what he perceives as love. Maybe William is a bit too much, and that’s okay to see Jennifer’s frustration and let that be appealing as something to keep you engaged, but they aren’t keeping her away from Nick because he’s from the wrong side of town. They don’t like how they were fucking in their bed while they were out of town, his being an adult while she is a minor, and his insistence that he gets a say in anything to do with how they parent her. In the end, this does do a good job of saying that, yeah, Jennifer is a very bad girl and manipulates someone who was easy to do so to do her bidding to get rid of what she thought were oppressive parents.

And speaking of our bad girl, Melissa Joan Hart is, as I illustrated earlier, very good in this. She does a very good job of dancing the line between good, all-American girl and alluring bad girl. One moment she’s cute. The next, she’s sexy. The one after that, she shoots a look that shows she’s puppeting everyone around her to dance for her. She’s the standout in this. If she can’t pull this part off, the whole movie is up in flames.

This movie came out juuuuust before she would take on the role she’d become best known for. I wonder if she never was Sabrina, if she would have been able to roll this into other, more mature movies. In a couple of weeks, I will talk about an incident in which she was trying to express herself in a way that was outside her TV persona that landed her in some hot water and may have damaged her career. I’m glad she was Sabrina because it gave me something to watch on Friday nights when I had to largely stay in, thanks to college classes the next morning, but if she stayed on this path, what could have come her way that wasn’t tainted by her more famous persona?

When it comes to all the TV movies that have ever been made, especially the salacious, scandalous thrillers, Twisted Desire really is better than the average. I think it’s well-written, and it has a hell of a lead performance that just works within the subgenre’s trappings. It’s just hanging out there on YouTube if you want to find something kinda fun to watch that was part of that Lifetime Movie style long before Lifetime Movies were a thing.

Next week, we stay in the thriller/horror side of the movies with a later Melissa Joan Hart movie that came along after her time as that particular teenage witch. Come back as I give a review of 2009’s Nine Dead. I’m sure it will be a fright.

Oh… and I should add something before I completely close this down. Knowing I have a pretty serious thing for Melissa Joan Hart, you better believe a single thought kept coming back time and again while watching this movie. That thought that kept repeating every time she was on screen?

“Now, who is it you’d like me to kill?”
