“Have you seen the Netflix sensation Making a Murderer? It’s a wild ride. It’s not just about one man’s wrongful conviction and exoneration; it highlights the systematic flaws in the criminal justice system that afflict the entire country. It also demonstrates how the media can shape the story of a presumed innocent man and sway public opinion before he gets his day in court. What is your name, by the way?”
“I no longer enjoy long walks on the beach because of Gregory Allen.”
“Dousing a cat in gasoline and throwing it into a fire is disturbing, but it doesn’t mean Steven Avery is guilty of murder. To answer your question, my favorite water sport is wakeboarding.”
“I equate being in a relationship to being part of a great team.

“I love spur-of-the-moment road trips! I’d totally let you control the radio! I hope you don’t drive a RAV 4!”
“Where do I imagine myself in five years? Married. Two kids. A dog. Celebrating the acquittals of Steven Avery and Brendan Dassey.”
“You didn’t get a rose tonight because we are different people in different places in our lives. You are a person who has not watched Making a Murderer, and I am a person who has. It would never work.”
