Everything You Ever Need To Know About Life...

... you can learn from:
Mary Ellen Moriarty (Stacey Moseley): Thank you. I am here to talk to you today... about the dangers of talking to strangers. For I, Mary Ellen Moriarty once talked to strangers. And that is how I became the innocent victim of a brutal kidnapping. Almost one year ago, I was a carefree teenager, memorizing my lines for Hello Dolly - I was supposed to play Dolly - when one day... a day I will never forget. I was walking home from rehearsals, I'd missed my carpool. I was standing on the corner, waiting for the light to change... when all of a sudden... a dark car pulled up beside me. And a big man stepped out. And he was older... and good looking... and um... he had a tattoo on his chest. And then the next thing I know he um...

One day I will have the opportunity to give a dramatic reading of this speech and when that day comes I will relish every single syllable and then drop instantaneously dead, like a bee that's used its stinger. You can watch the clip here.

That's so cool! I hope she knew how wonderfully she delivered these lines. Classic.

She went to school with that guy from "Clueless" and "Scrubs". I hope that she is doing well; )
