(The Van Ryan family is powerful enough that none of the high-powered lawyers who know them are willing to help Lombardo.) Lombardo hires a strip mall lawyer named Kenneth Bowden (somehow Bill Murray) to defend him at trial.When the news comes out that Lombardo has been accused of rape, another high school girl, Suzie Toller (Neve Campbell), calls the police investigating the case and tells them that Lombardo raped her, too.Sam Lombardo is accused of rape by a high school girl named Kelly Van Ryan (Denise Richards).It’s my favorite part of the whole movie, which is an impressive thing because there are so many favorite parts to be had, most of which are plot-twist double-crosses. The camera stays on the raccoon for a full beat, and then it fades to black as we watch the raccoon watching Lombardo get beat up. As it’s happening, though, and this is so funny to watch-but as the beating is happening, the camera, after staying on the alligator for a second, cuts away to a raccoon in a tree, and it looks so, so, so much like the raccoon was surprised by the commotion and is now watching the fight like, “Aye, what the fuck?” Look: Columbia Pictures “You cool?” the guy asks as a follow-up but also as a confirmation, and then he cocks his fist, punches Lombardo in the face, and then shouts, “That’s too bad, motherfucker!” The guy grabs Lombardo, the camera cuts away to an alligator on the shore, and in the background, we hear the guy pounding on Lombardo’s face. “Hey, are you all right?” the guys asks, walking into the water. A guy gets out (it’s the boyfriend of the ultra-rich woman, but Lombardo doesn’t know it), and he pretends like he didn’t mean to do what he just did.

The car catches up to Lombardo, then runs him off the road, causing Lombardo’s Jeep to roll over into a swamp. A car’s headlights are seen pulling up quickly behind Lombardo.
