Ian and Evangeline in the solitude room.
Ian: (opens the door and enters) Evangeline Lane Malkozich, do you know what ‘solitude’ is?
Evangeline: (biting her lip) I know what it means
Ian: to be in ‘solitude’ is to be in a place where you are alone, to have no one. You are in the solitude room, Evangeline. But your solitude does not remain in this room, does it?
Evangeline: I am not alone.
Ian: whether you will admit it or not, you are alone – at home, at school, everywhere you go you are desperately alone. You know this.
Evangeline: (a single tear streaks down her cheek) I am not alone. I just prefer to be by myself. So why don’t you do us both a favor and go away?
Ian: (looks mad) You may come out in two hours. And if you try to get out, it will earn you more time.
Evangeline: (Glares at him as he exits the room)
