I just wanna tell each of you that I wouldn't do that...I wouldn't and I will not! 'Cause I think that's real shitty.

Your friends wouldn't mind because they look up to us.

You're so conceited, Claire. You're so conceited. You're so, like, full of yourself; why are you like that?

(teary)

I'm not saying that to be conceited! I hate it! I hate having to go along with everything my friends say!

Well then why do you do it?

I don't know, I don't--you don't understand...you don't. You're not friends with the same kind of people that Andy and I are friends with! You know, you just don't understand the pressure that they can put on you!

I don't understand what? You think I don't understand pressure, Claire? Well **** you! **** you! [Brian breaks down and begins to cry.] Know why I'm here today? Do you?! I'm here because Mr. Ryan found a gun in the locker.

Why'd you have a gun in your locker?

I tried. You pull the ****in' trunk on it and the light's s'posed to go on...and it didn't go on, I mean, I...

What's the gun for Brian?

Just forget it.

You brought it up, man!

I can't have an F, I can't have it and I know my parents can't have it. Even if I aced the rest of the semester, I'm still only a B. And everything's ruined for me.

Oh, Brian...

****! So I considered my options, you know?

No! Killing yourself is not an option!

Well I didn't do it, did I? No, I don't think so!

It was a hand gun?

No, it was a flare gun, went off in my locker.

Really? [starts to laugh]

It's not funny...

[Andrew tries to stop, but he continues laughing and everyone else begins to laugh.] (laughing as well)

Yes it is. ****in' elephant was destroyed!

You wanna know what I did to get in here? Nothing; I didn't have anything better to do.

[Everyone continues to laugh, now at Allison.] (still laughing from earlier)

You're laughing at me!

No...!

Yes, you are!
[Everyone, feeling better, continues to laugh.]
