Quotes
-
Angela : I'm supposed to give you a message.
Jordan : From Tino?
Angela : No. From Mrs. Learner.
Jordan : Who?
Angela : Mrs. Learner. She's been our English teacher for over a month, now. She says you have to start showing up to class, or she's going to have you kicked out.
Jordan : So, what's the message?
Angela : That you're gonna get kicked out of school.
Jordan : Like it's doing so much for me.
[walks away]
Angela : You're welcome!
[to herself]
Angela : Don't you even care?
-
Angela : When I was little I, like, worshipped Halloween. And truthfully, part of me still does. 'Cause it's your one chance all year to be someone else.
-
Angela : You're not going to class?
Jordan : What's it to you?
Angela : You know you're gonna get expelled. Don't you care?
Jordan : Don't matter.
Angela : Of course it matters.
Jordan : She's looking to throw me out, okay? She's been waiting for this. She thinks I'm a loser.
Angela : You're crazy to let her tell you what you are.
Jordan : What are you talking about?
Angela : She doesn't know you. She doesn't know who you are! You can't let her decide what you do.
Jordan : Hey! I decide what I do! And maybe I wanna get kicked out.
Angela : Maybe you do, but that doesn't mean people can't try and stop you. And tell you.
[pauses]
Angela : I know you think how could someone like me understand, only I do.

Nicky Driscoll : [Blue moon plays] I like this song.
Angela : I know.
Nicky Driscoll : You know, I heard Elvis was only our age when he recorded this. Where'd you get the flower?
Angela : I, um...
Nicky Driscoll : She threw it away, huh? Yeah, well, I'm not in her league. She thinks I'm a loser.
Angela : No!
Nicky Driscoll : What do you mean, no? She's right.
Angela : Wait, where are you going?
Nicky Driscoll : I'm going to help a friend do something.
Angela : No, don't! Please don't!
Nicky Driscoll : Oh, I've got to do it. I can't get out of it.
Angela : No! You're going to get hurt!
Nicky Driscoll : At least I'll know I'm alive.
Angela : You're not! You're not alive! You threw your life away for no reason!
Nicky Driscoll : See, ya.
[Enters gym]
Angela : No, wait! Nicky, wait!
[She lunges for the gym door, but she doesn't reach it before it closes]

Angela Chase : Nicky Driscoll. This couldn't really be his book. It's a prank. It's fake.
Rickie Vasquez : But look. It's faded.
-
Angela Chase : Um, it's a costume. I wouldn't really dress like this.
Jordan Catalano : From Tino?
Angela Chase : No, from Miss Lerner.
Jordan Catalano : Who?

Jordan Catalano : So what's the message?
Angela Chase : That you're going to get kicked out of school.
Jordan Catalano : Like it's doing so much for me.
