DAN: I'm going to get you a drink? You thirsty?

KENDALL: No.

DAN: No? Can I pour one for myself? You mind? So, what do you think we should start with?

KENDALL: What are you thinking?

DAN: I don't know, it's up to you.

HANSEN: [makes surprise appearance] So, what was the lesson plan for tonight?

KENDALL: I'm sorry.

HANSEN: Sorry for what?

KENDALL: I thought- I thought this was a joke.

HANSEN: You thought what was a joke?

KENDALL: I should have known better.

HANSEN: What did you think it was?

KENDALL: Truly- truly, a set up.

HANSEN: And why would someone try to do a set-up like this?

KENDALL: To catch people that shouldn't be talking to teenagers.

HANSEN: People like you.

KENDALL: Definitely. Well, no, this is the first time I've done this.

HANSEN: The first time?

KENDALL: With an underage person, yes.

HANSEN: [asks predator what he does for a living]

KENDALL: I teach math.

HANSEN: And what grade do you teach?

KENDALL: Sixth, seventh and eighth grade.

HANSEN: Sixth, seventh and eighth grade? So you teach kids who are about the same age as the boy you thought you were going to visit tonight.

KENDALL: Yes.

HANSEN: That raises an obvious question. If you're willing to have a conversation like this and come visit a thirteen year old boy, what have you been doing with students?

KENDALL: Definitely not this.

HANSEN: And why should I believe you?

KENDALL: Because I've successfully taught school for twenty-three years.

HANSEN: [asks him if he has children]

KENDALL: [answers yes, he has four adult children]

HANSEN: As a parent, would you be okay with a fifty-four year old man coming to visit a thirteen year old kid?

KENDALL: Of course not. I honestly didn't think he was thirteen. I thought about driving away when I saw him at the door.

HANSEN: So why did you do it?

KENDALL: Probably I was thinking, the part of me that's Christian was going to talk him out of it.

HANSEN: So what part of the bible tells you to say this kind of stuff here in the chat? [reads from predator's chat log]'I love to suck cock, play and suck balls, play with and lick nipples, and lick and pound asshole'. Where is that in the bible? Explain that to me. Is that the Old Testament or the New Testament?

KENDALL: Neither... I am truly sorry, and I'm not going to be in that chat room anymore. I have learned my lesson.

HANSEN: Well, I'm Chris Hansen, with Dateline NBC, and we're doing a story on men who try to meet kids online for sex.

KENDALL: I'm truly sorry. I have learned my lesson. Thank you for helping me with it. I'm an excellent teacher and want to stay that way.

It's doubtful he'll ever be back in the classroom. (less info)
