[ElectricBoogaloo]

Valentine: So what'd the kid do?

I wasn't sure where to put these.

 

During the credits, there are various statements written by and around the names.

 

With Rainn Wilson's credit: I'm you.

With Genevieve Angelson/Gravely: I'm a drug dealer with  [can't see more]

With Kristoffer Polaha/Neidermayer: I'm a hillbilly in love with his sister.

With Page Kennedy/Moto: I'm a pyro who used to be a club kid [ I'm mostly sure]

Beatrice Rosen's ( Paquet's)? It's cursive and too tiny and quick for me to suss out. Sorry.

With Thomas Dekker/Valentine: I am a boy-obsessed priest and hated God.

With Dennis Haysbert/Almond: I'm an anorexic model who hates her thighs.

With the "Created By Hart Hanson" card: I'm everyone.

 

I just thought it was fun. I don't think any of the lines, except Wilson and Hanson's, are meant to reflect on the characters.  I've tried to remember if any of those lines were used in any of the cases to date, though. Backstrom tends to throw a bunch around.  Although, the "I'm you" and "I'm everyone" have been, iirc.

You have to admit the one by Haysbert/Almond is pretty funny if you think it applies to that character.  @Actionmage -- I took a look and filled in some of the missing parts.

 

With Genevieve Angelson/Gravely: I'm a drug dealer who sucks his thumb

With Page Kennedy/Moto: I'm a hindu who used to be a crab

With Beatrice Rosen/Paquet: I'm a black man trapped in a white woman's body
