"Let me lay out a hypothetical for you. In this state, there is no statute of limitations for homicide. Now, hypothetically, if I was at Kappa that night, and I did, hypothetically, cover up this hypothetical negligent homicide, I would, hypothetically, not be responsible for that girl’s death. But I would hypothetically *undoubtedly* be an accessory after the fact. So when these murders started up, even if I hypothetically thought they were related to the events of 20 years ago, I couldn’t, hypothetically, start offering up information to the… hypothetical police, or anyone else, for that matter, because I risk, hypothetically, implicating myself. Hypothetically, of course."

Now, that being said, we do have a new mandate here at Wallace University for special needs diversity, and seeing as we have no students with spinal deformities, I am going to take a chance on you."
