Marlene 'Marl' Craven: You have a Harvard education, make something up.

Peyton: Are you a retard?
Solomon: No.
Peyton: Did you like looking at me?.. Did you like looking at me? Don't fuck with me, retard. My version of the story will be... better.

Solomon: I won't let you hurt them.

Claire: She's Doctor Mott's widow, Michael.

Peyton: My husband was my only family. He's the only one who really understood me... He took care of me. He was murdered.
Claire: Murdered?
Peyton: They never caught who did it. But I firmly believe, what goes around comes around.

Plot hole: The only reason the movie takes place is because the news station that Mrs. Mott watches names Claire as the woman who filled the lawsuit against Mr. Mott. It is completely illegal for broadcasters to name or show a picture of a sexually assaulted victim.

Question: How did Peyton get back in the house at the end without keys?

Answer: The same way any common criminal gets in to a house, she "broke" in by either kicking the door, or smashing a window, etc. A locked door is not that hard an obstacle to overcome.
