I think about this all the time, cause I don't know what I would have said to my crazy uncle at 16 about ditching school.

imagine if she said the wrong thing then found out a cop was killed because of it. Hard thing for a kid to live with.

No kidding... to say Jake got lucky there would be the biggest understatement ever. If Letty had lied in any way, Jake would’ve been a goner for sure.

That whole sequence with Jake and Smiley’s gang is one of the most tension-filled in film.

Well she did lie at first then told the truth.
