Joel: You're right. You are absolutely right to respond this way. I did not have a doctor's appointment. But I will tell you exactly what happened. "Unexcused." You see, Nurse Bolan lf you write "unexcused," I fail two mid-terms. It'll wreck my whole grade point average! If you'd just stop and listen to me, I'll explain everything. The truth is, my parents are away, and I met this girl. A call girl, actually. She came to my house. Look, you're writing again! This is not "unexcused"! If you will just listen to me, then you'll understand, Nurse Bolan. Why? Why won't you listen to me? [Nurse Bolen waves goodbye to Joel]
Girl: I had a doctor's appointment.
Joel: '[pushing the girl out of the way] Excuse me. It wasn't the girl, it was my father's car. I put my father's car into Lake Michigan and I had to get it fixed. [Nurse Bolan waves goodbye again] Just give me a break. [grabs Nurse Bolan by her lapels] Let me put it this way. I have spent the last four years of my life busting my butt in this shithole! I'm sorry. I don't think I can leave until I get just a little compassion from you.

Joel: How come you left home?
Lana: Why?
Joel: I was just wondering.
Lana: Because my step-father kept coming on to me. What else do you want to know?
Joel: Do you have any brothers and sisters?
Lana: I have a brother. What else?
Joel: If you don't want to talk...
Lana: No, no. Ask me anything.
Joel: I don't think you want to talk and it's okay.
Lana: No, I really want to talk to you.
Joel: What does he do?
Lana: He's in school.
Joel: How come you're not in school?
Lana: I'm not my brother. I'm really trying to be friends with you. But I'd appreciate it if you'd stop trying to judge me while you're leaning on your daddy's 40 thousand dollar car. I'll see you around.

Lana: So, I was thinking...if we ever got our friends together, we'd make a fortune!
Joel: Yeah. You're right.
Lana: Do you want to do that?
Joel: Do what?
Lana: Get our friends together in the next few days.
Joel: No. I don't think so.
Lana: Make some money. Be a little enterpriser.
Joel: Future enterpriser.
Lana: Be whatever you want to be. What if I said I'd be your girlfriend for the next few nights?
Joel: No charge?
Lana: Hey, I'm not pushing you on the idea. It's just that my mind keeps working all the time. Nothing I can do about it. It keeps working and working.
