"Yeah, well. I guess I do." [Hayley paused, then frowned when she saw him moving toward the door. She took a step farther back away from him, but spoke up again before the warden could escape.] "And so does she, apparently, because I tried to pick you and she wouldn't let me. She gave me Cooper instead."
[It was the truth, to a large extent. While Hayley hadn't fought tooth and nail or anything, she had tried to choose Dick and Ariadne had taken that away from her and given her Cooper instead. In Hayley's mind, Ariadne was as much to blame as she was and it wasn't fair for Dick to be angry with her without being angry at the warden too.]
