Lucille: What the hell was that? You had me on the stand. You were making me look like a murderer!
Michael: I'm sorry, Mom. I found the tapes where you were making Buster think he pushed Mimi down the stairs.
Lucille: Exactly. Those are the tapes I wanted you to find. I couldn't have laid it out any more clearly for you. All you had to do was get me on the stand and make me look like a liar. How do you screw that up?
Michael: Screw that up? What, you wanted me to accuse you of pushing Mimi down the stairs?
Lucille: Well, we couldn't have the jury thinking Buster did it, because they'd be totally convinced he did the same thing to Lucille 2, and I couldn't exactly accuse myself of killing Mimi. I would just look like a loving mother lying to protect her son. But I didn't push Mimi down the stairs. Buster did.
Michael: Mom, you're on tape admitting that you did it and telling Buster to confess to being a murderer.
Lucille: He thought he was saying that to save his mother. We were implanting a memory. We didn't want him growing up thinking he was a killer.
Michael: Instead, he thinks he's a hero.
