Kill Quote by Jennifer Echols

“Well, let's say you heard a fight in the boys' bathroom, and you broke it up. What would you do naturally if you could solve it your way?" "I would run in the other direction. You really expect me to go in the boys' bathroom? Let them kill each other.” quote by Jennifer Echols
