Walking the Halls (2012)

Patricia Belcher: Principal Jenkins

Quotes 

• Holly Benson : [shot of the school as kids walk in the scene; voiceover of Holly talking]  I'd like to take my daughter out of this school, and I was told that I'd need to request a transfer.

  Principal Jenkins : I'm disappointed to hear this; Casey's one of our best students.

  Holly Benson : [nods slightly]  I know.

  Principal Jenkins : [suspicious]  Is there something wrong?

  Holly Benson : Is this conversation confidential?

  Principal Jenkins : Absolutely.

  Holly Benson : [licks lips slightly]  Casey's afraid to come back here. Apparently, there are some people - some students - that are involved in something... illegal.

  Principal Jenkins : Ms. Benson, i that's the case, I have a right to know what it is.

  Holly Benson : I don't know if it's happening on this campus, but I have reason to believe that some of the students are engaged in sexual activity for money.

  Principal Jenkins : [gasps]  Casey told you this?

  Holly Benson : She didn't give me any names, and she did not give me any details, and she made it very clear that she wants to keep her name out of it. But, yes. Yeah, she told me.

  Principal Jenkins : [sighs]  With your permission, I'd like to do one thing -

  [scene cuts to Jack finding out from them Casey blabbed about the escort service] 

• Jack : [faked sincerity]  This is certainly unwelcome news. Prostitution is becoming more and more of a problem in our local schools.

  [they begin walking] 

  Jack : Grenada Hills just busted a 16-year-old boy pimping out his 15-year-old girlfriend.

  [crosses his arms] 

  Principal Jenkins : We're talking nice schools. These kids come from good homes.

  Jack : The girls don't think they're doing anything wrong, or, at least in a lot of these cases, that's what they claim. It's a real tragedy.

  [eye contact with Holly] 

  Principal Jenkins : Well, we're gonna put a stop to it before it takes hold on this campus.

  Jack : Absolutely. And don't worry, Mrs. Benson. I'll respect your daughter's privacy. We'll get to the bottom of this.

  Holly Benson : Thank you.

  Jack : Of course.

  Principal Jenkins : Thank you, Officer McConnelly.

  [she leads Holly off-screen to walk with her and Jack, arms crossed, looks at them and the expression on his face changes slightly]
