** 3. Bob's little speech, whilst insightful, ends up getting him into deeper trouble; he's so confident and smug about his ability to unpick Alice that he doesn't realize that in doing so, he's giving away vital information that can be used to convict him. Alice does realizes this, and regardless of the pain it causes her allows him to continue in order to let him dig his own grave. Once Alice reveals what Bob has done, Bob realizes that he probably should [[MirandaWarning have kept his mouth shut]].

Added DiffLines:

* '''Implied''': Detective Reeson tells Alice a warning along the lines of "Bob will fill your head with lies, Alice" while standing outside of the interrogation room.


Added DiffLines:

* '''Intended Audience Reaction''': Somebody had to point out that Alice is a {{Workaholic}} InspectorJavert and not really as heroic as the plot tried to paint her so far. Bob's entire lecture is intercut with [[OnceMoreWithClarity previous scenes showcasing Alice's bad behavior in further detail]].
* '''Played for Laughs''':
** Bob's lecture, for all that he tries to sound like a SatanicArchetype, is incredibly incompetent.
** Alice disregards Bob's lecture because she's [[MusicalWorldHypotheses imagining she's in a music video]] for Miley Cirus' "Wrecking Ball".
** Bob's lecture is composed entirely of [[BigStupidDoodooHead childish insults]] and a mention that Alice's dad never taught her how to ride a bike. [[FauxHorrific Alice reacts like Bob had told her]] the deepest and darkest secrets of her existence.
* '''Played for Drama''':
** Bob's lecture competely breaks Alice's psyche and she eventually has to spend some time getting therapy.
** Alice retaliates at Bob's insults in a fashion that facilitates Bob's plan (either to demolish Alice's standing amongst law enforcement or to facilitate his escape).
* '''Played for Horror''':
** Bob's lecture brainwashes Alice into becoming his minion.
** Bob's lecture [[MaddenIntoMisanthropy turns Alice into a misanthropic psycho]] and the rest of her story arc revolves around her friends discovering this [[SerialKiller the hard way]].
** Bob's lecture [[DrivenToSuicide makes Alice commit suicide]] and the way she decides to check out [[CruelAndUnusualDeath pushes the boundaries of censorship]].

"Bob, you are currently being held in custody for as a primary suspect as [[SerialKiller the Chesapeake Reaper]], your have waived your right for legal counsel, and you have made clear that you wish to confess. What would you like to say in your defense?" "I assume that your daughter is very lonely tonight..." "For the record, Suspect Bob has decided to show hostile intent and threatened the family of a police officer."

* '''Straight''': SerialKiller Bob, who has been captured by police officer Alice, accuses Alice of being a weak, pathetic inadequate who is NotSoDifferent from Bob and who arrests people to give herself a false sense of purpose and power. Alice is shaken and disconcerted by Bob's insights and understanding of her.

** SerialKiller Bob, who has been captured by police officer Alice, accuses Alice of being a weak, pathetic inadequate who is NotSoDifferent from Bob and who arrests people to give herself a false sense of purpose and power. It turns out that Alice REALLY wanted to arrest Bob for fame, to his horror.

** 1. Bob's understanding of human nature only goes so far, and is limited by his own sociopathy and FreudianExcuse, which has poisoned and corrupted his view of the world. Not everyone and everything can be so easily compartmentalised into his limited view of the world, and once he comes across something which challenges this understanding his psychological attacks completely fall apart, as does Bob himself.
** 2. Bob's little speech is shown to be worthless, regardless of whatever he successfully picks Alice apart psychologically. [[RealityEnsues All that evidence and those expert witnesses won't go away just because he mocked Alice's bad relationship with her mother.]] Bob is convicted for his crimes and survives three months in a high security prison before a more impulsive inmate shanks him to death.

** Alice provides Bob an extensive "'[[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech The Reason]] ''[[InvertedTrope I]]'' Suck' Speech", with every single little flaw he could have exploited, and adds "...and yet, I caught you, you fuck. [[WhosLaughingNow So how "flawed" do you think I am now?]]"
