- Angela: You know what I'd really like? To be put out of my misery.
- Rayanne: Are you kidding? This is fun.
- Angela: Fun?
- Rayanne: Everyone runnin' around all upset, rumors flying. Can't you feel it in your fingers and in your toes? It's like being alive. Man it's such a rush.
- Angela: You're out of your mind.
- Rayanne: Last year that rumor about me and Mark Cameron, the orchestra pit, I mean in that case it was true but... man all the conversation, people writing notes and the- they look at you different trying to figure out who you really are, like you're famous. Admit it, it's really great.
- Angela: I don't know what you're talking about.
- [looks away smirking]
- Brian: I went to the bathroom, I heard a scuffle, then a shot. I came out, I saw two pairs of legs running in opposite directions. Who those people were I can't say. And if you or these men or anybody else threatens me anymore or pressures me anymore -...
- Mr. Foster: Brian...
- Brian: ...I will insist on having a lawyer, and I will sue you for harassment and anything else I can. And if you try to expel me in order to try and solve your public relations problems, then I will reveal to anyone who will listen just who is destroying the spirit of this school.
- Angela: They weren't the kind of kisses you could actually evaluate. They were... introductory kisses.
- 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.
- Patty: I could have died. I did die! I mean, this woman knows and I don't know. She's not even a woman. She's like this 40-year old girl. She's gorgeous and she's telling me about my daughter's sex life, which apparently she now has, and I don't even know about it.
- Graham: Look, the girl talked to her mother. We don't know if it's true.
- Patty: Things are always true. Of course it's true.
- Graham: [gives Patty food] Here, taste this.
- Patty: I can't taste anything. Guns are going off at school, Angela's sleeping with someone.
- Graham: You don't know that!
- Patty: And even if she isn't, which I pray is true, she obviously has some kind of secret life which is completely apart from us. So what do we do? Do we confront her?
- Graham: Oh God, no. I don't want to know if it's true.
- Patty: What sort of attitude are we supposed to have? Are we supposed to have an attitude? I already have an attitude. It may be my mother's attitude. I don't want to get hysterical about this, but why not? Why shouldn't I be hysterical? She's fifteen! I should be hysterical.
- Patty: Honey, who is Jordan?
- Patty: No one.
- [pause]
- Patty: You mean Jordan Catalano?
- Patty: Is that his last name?
- Angela: I don't know. You brought it up.
- Patty: I met Rayanne's mom tonight and she was all excited about your new boyfriend, Jordan.
- Angela: Boyfriend? That's a laugh.
- Patty: So, he's not your boyfriend?
- Angela: Mom, I barely know this person. I don't know if I want to know this person.
- Patty: Well then, you haven't?
- Angela: What did you hear? What did she tell you?
- Patty: Nothing. She didn't tell me anything.
- Angela: Did she say I was sleeping with Jordan Catalano?
- Patty: No! I mean, of course not. No one said that. It's just... well, I just wondered.
- Angela: She did! Didn't she? I can't believe this. I can't believe this! I hate everyone.
- Brian: Nobody's interested in the truth. They only care about what they want to believe.
- Angela: If you're so incredibly concerned about the truth, why did you lie about me?
- Brian: You didn't even come up!
- Angela: Not the gun thing. With Sharon! What you said to her about me and Jordan Catalano.
- Brian: What are you talking about?
- Angela: I heard her, Brian. You told her terrible things. False things. You lied to her.
