CHRISTINE: Don't touch me! Don't touch me! Keep away from me!
RYAN: Lady, I'm tryin'... I'm tryin' to help you.
CHRISTINE: F*** you! Not you! Somebody! Anybody else! Please, somebody! Not you! […] No! Get your filthy f***ing hands off me!
RYAN: Stop moving. Lady, I'm not gonna f***ing hurt you! Okay. Okay.
CHRISTINE: Please don't touch me. Don't, don't.
RYAN: I'm not gonna touch you. But there's nobody else here yet and that's gasoline there. We need to get you outta here right away. Okay? […] Look at me. Look at me. I'm gonna get you out.
Christine's fear is so extreme, it is practically a PTSD episode. She freaks out when Officer Ryan approaches her. How does he handle the situation? Do you think she regrets being afraid after he rescues her? One other thing to note here is that it takes a crisis situation for Ryan to forget about his own prejudices and just act like a good person (and a good cop). Is that really what it takes to make people behave like humans?
