Mr. Harris: People say that you were the last person to speak with Jordon...
            Is that true? 
Cameron: I don't know. Are you asking me if people say I was the last person
            to talk to Jordon? Or are you asking me if I was the last person
            to talk to her? 
Mr. Harris: I guess I'm asking if you were. 
Cameron: I don't know.
