Barely Lethal

Barely Lethal is a 2015 action comedy film about Megan (Hailee Steinfeld), a teenage special-operations assassin trained at the secretive Prescott orphanage. Yearning for a normal adolescence, she fakes her own death and enrolls in a suburban American high school, quickly realizing that surviving teenage social dynamics is harder than international espionage. Directed by Kyle Newman. Written by John D'Arco. Megan Walsh [voiceover] I never knew my parents. The only thing I ever knew was Prescott. It was a top-secret government-run school that turned little girls into killing machines. Not bad. Run it again. Heather [to her cohorts, re Megan:] Find out where she's applying to college. Safety schools too. Dialogue Liz: Two, I am not riding the bus. Megan: But it's a quintessential high school experience. Liz: So is mono. Megan: What is mono? Mrs. Larson: Kids get it from kissing. It's like mouth aids. Hardman: One more time. Why did you run away? Megan: You deprived me of my childhood. I couldn't just raise my hand and say, "Excuse me, sir, I don't think I really want to be an assassin. Can I please be excused from this secret mountain killing school?" Hardman: [as she cries] Please, please, can we just... stop the waterworks? [offers handkerchief] Megan: You came back for me. Hardman: Actually, we came back for Knox. [relents] Hardman: Plus, the sweet 16s needed some real combat experi... Megan: [hugs him] You came back for me.
