Quotes 

• Rayanne : So, do you know what everyone's saying?

  Jordan : What?

  Rayanne : About you and Angela. Like, you guys had sex.

  Jordan : Who?

  Rayanne : You and Angela.

  Jordan : No, who is saying that?

  Rayanne : I don't know, people. I mean she told me the truth, of course.

  Jordan : What truth?

  Rayanne : How far you guys went, you know.

  Jordan : Well, yeah. Cause nothing happened.

  Rayanne : Right. So, like, how come it's all over school? I mean, you're not talking it up like some lowlife derelict cretin telling everyone you did her. Are you?

  [Jordan nods no and walks away] 

  Rayanne : Just checking.

• Jordan : Angela, can I talk to you for a second? How you doing?

  Angela : You know, life goes on.

  Jordan : Look, I was thinking about what I said to you yesterday. You know, the thing.

  Angela : Right. The thing.

  Jordan : Yeah, Look, um, I'm sorry about that. Afterwards, I thought it through and I can see how you got upset.

  Angela : No, I wasn't upset.

  Jordan : I mean, some girls wouldn't be. But you... you're not like that, so I just wanted to say, you know, I'm sorry.

  Angela : No, it's really okay. It wasn't a problem. Really, I didn't think about it. I mean, I did think about it. And I thought maybe what you were saying wasn't so wrong.

  Jordan : No, it was really wrong.

  Angela : Why?

  Jordan : I just wanted you to know, if it would make you feel better, I'm just gonna make it real clear that I don't have any real interest in you or anything. You know, so they'll stop saying all that. I barely even know you, which is of course true and that basically you and I mean nothing to each other. So that should solve the problem.

  Angela : Thanks.

  Jordan : It's the least I could do, you know?

  Angela : Right.

• Jordan : Look, I didn't say anything about... you know.

  Angela : I know.

  Jordan : I just wanted you to know that.

  Angela : Thank you.

  Jordan : Because I'm not like that. I don't do that.

  [pauses] 

  Jordan : So weird, huh?

  Angela : Yeah, yeah.

  Jordan : The way people talk. I mean, people think we did it.

  Angela : I know.

  Jordan : It's like, we might as well have done it anyway at this point. I mean, if everybody's talking about it already... I mean, maybe we... uh... not to make a big deal out of it or anything.

  Angela : Out of what?

  Jordan : Out of anything. I mean, if everybody's already assuming it anyway. Maybe we could just...

  Angela : I think I have to go.

  [walks away] 

  Jordan : Look, I'm sorry if I... no pressure or anything.

  Angela : Oh, it's okay. I have to go!

  Jordan : You could just think about it.
