• After Jennifer won't have sex with Billy in first act, Billy asks his father for advice
  
• Billy lets Irene escape at hospital
• Irene goes to mother's cemetery, accidentally meets cleaned up Richard, talks about mother, Lansdale wants to arrest, but then...passively observes, lets life play out...plants GPS on both cars
  
• Billy fails to seduce Jennifer, acts like a man in boy's body, but Jennifer stays in bedroom...
• Irene seduces Billy again, Jennifer witnesses
• Billy wants to use a condom this time with Irene, she asks, 'Do you want to have twins? Too late for that?!" (Irene is ditz enough to think that she could conceive again while already pregnant.
  
• Jennifer seduces Billy...fuck me! Billy is young and can have sex again. You did it for her, do it for me.
• Richard follows Irene to Billy's, sees Billy have sex with Irene, then with Jennifer, is impressed... sneaks inside to compliment Billy
  
• Irene is impressed with purity of Billy and Jennifer's young love, yearns to have a "healthy" relationship with Billy, thinks about letting Billy have Jennifer
• Why doesn't Irene get a normal guy, Billy and Irene scan POF for guys, none good enough for Irene...why? First love?
• Billy either asks nurse for copy of Dread Obsession or it mysteriously shows up in hospital room (surreptitiously placed by Irene).
  
• After kidnapping, Billy tries to seduce Jennifer by reading romance novel to her. She thinks that it is stupid, but falls for it anyway. Romance novel story parallels the kidnapping of Billy or the star crossed love of Billy/Jennifer or Billy/Irene.
  
• Sex between Billy/Irene/Jennifer comically interrupted by Billy's parents.
• Jennifer spies through window, watches Billy & Irene having sex, while Richard spies on Jennifer from outside with binoculars, Lansdale spies on Richard, Jen, Billy/Irene with night vision goggles
  
• Billy tries to have an affair with both Jen and Irene. Irene says, 'You can't have both of us."
• Irene explains to Lansdale, "The heart wants what it wants. Billy was born too late, but I've fixed that. I've made him the man that he will be, the loving man, only I've gotten the cosmic schedule back on track."
• In the return to the cemetery, Richard asks what Irene wants. Irene's mother Kate rises from the grave and then we flash back to happier times for the family, when Kate gave her daughter ice cream, when the family was whole, played on the beach, lived a life in virtual heaven, in the dream and they embraced, when Irene happily spied on her parents making love beautifully. Flash froward, but childhood ends, as does all things. Flash forward to Richard's loneliness, to his rape of his daughter, a la Father Figure from Madonna.
• Need the Casablanca epiphany at the climax, probably that Billy and Jen belong together, but that paradoxically, Irene's crime brought them together (sort of like Pirates of the Caribbean moral), Lansdale to Irene, "You did the right thing for the wrong reason."
• Billy is actually in love with Jennifer, not with Irene.
• Billy has bunk beds and hospital bed in his room. Jennifer is upset at Billy, so moves to the other bed. Irene sneaks in and has sex with him while Jennifer "sleeps"
  
• When Lansdale sees Irene and Richard "make up" in cemetery, she decides to let events work themselves out. She expresses doubt to her partner who is helping stake out Billy's house.
• In cemetery, Lansdale sees Richard and Irene both crying. That is why Lansdale decides to not apprehend Irene yet, she wants to let life play out.
  
• Billy and Irene actually have very little in common, but Billy and Jennifer have lots in common, the basis of a real relationship.
  
• Lansdale finally arrests Irene after Irene tries to kill Jen, but after Irene causes Billy and Jen to fall into "real" love.
• Richard always knew where Billy lived, since he was Billy's neighbor during the original kidnapping.
  
• Richard meets Billy's father in passing, outside father's house.
• When Lansdale first visits Richard's house to interview him, she places a GPS tracker on his car.
• When Billy objects to having sex with Irene because she is pregnant, Irene gushes about the possibility of her bearing twins.
• At the cemetery, Richard is already there (trailed by Lansdale and the GPS tracker). Irene and Richard agree to a truce while in the demilitarized zone of the cemetery. "Mom (Kate) wouldn't want us to fight at her grave site."
• Jennifer sits outside Billy's window while Billy/Irene have sex. Later, Irene exits through Billy's window, right over the crouching Jen. Jennifer sees that Irene is no longer wearing underwear.
• Jennifer sees Billy performing oral sex on Irene and is disgusted and...fascinated.
• When Jennifer demands intercourse from Billy during his refractory period, Billy objects, but Jen says, "You played it for her, you can play it for me." (Casablanca reference)
  
• As Irene is leaving Billy's house, she encounters Richard, who cynically points out that Billy is now making out with Jennifer
• Richard's "fatherly" advice is eerily similar to the wise advice that Billy's own father eventually gives him about Jennifer
• Father originally tells Billy that sex will come in it's own time (after Jennifer rejects Billy and father is driving Billy to the mall). When Father asks Billy why he went with Irene, Billy throws his father's advice back to him, the sex DID happen in it's own time, Zen... Irene and Billy give the same advice to Billy about sex, "In it's own time". Billy counters that he should be proactive, not passive in this matter.
• Billy: Reenee (Billy's baby name for Irene), I love Jennifer! What do we have to talk about?
  
• Irene: You're only fourteen. How can you know what you want? (They both double take on the irony)
• Billy: Aren't you trapped in who you are when you were fourteen?
• Irene: What happens when you break up with Jennifer?
• Billy: (ACCD Sat. High speaking in tongues/chair lift or from Dread Desire Greek chorus. The tale of a boy seduced by a woman) I'll deal with that when I get there. The future is unknowable. For ten years, you've been pining away for someone who didn't even exist yet, who wasn't "born".
• Irene was fucked up by incest, but Billy doesn't have to be scarred. Billy was voluntary, not so much a victim. Freewill for him.
• If Billy really is in love with Jennifer, then why does he have sex with Irene again? Variety? Subconsciously knows that Jennifer will then want him?
• Billy could wake up in bed at home, with Irene, when he thought that a platonic, cuddling Jennifer would be there (bathroom?)
• Through bedroom window, Lansdale and Irene watch Billy and Jennifer make love. Lansdale consoles Irene and tells her to scoot.
  
• Hard light is yang, soft light is yin.
