Testing Dirty (1990)

Lisa Dean Ryan: Carla Daniels

Quotes 

• Coach Stanley Daniels : ...Carla? Honey, what is it?

  Carla Daniels : Jay Watts is dead. He overdosed this afternoon. Your drug test couldn't save him.

  Coach Stanley Daniels : They just didn't get to him in time.

  Carla Daniels : They didn't try, Dad; worse, they didn't *care*! If they were serious about helping people like Jay, they'd focus on kids who showed signs of being in trouble.

  Coach Stanley Daniels : Wait a minute. If you know he was in trouble, why didn't you tell anyone?

  Carla Daniels : Why, so you could expose him and then shove him away?

  Coach Stanley Daniels : No, so we could try and help him!

  Carla Daniels : Like you helped Will? Tell me how using a lottery as a drug test helps anybody. Tell me why the people who should have been involved were never even *contacted* until after Jay died!
