Gavin

It's a class system here at CB High, Stevie Boy. Check it out. [points to the car enthusiast students] There, you've got your motor heads, car jocks, all the world's a gasket and a lube job and a pack of Lucky's. Music of choice: Posi-traction overdrive, classic rock, Skynyrd, The Allmans, Bruce. Drug of choice: Beer, Miller Genuine Draft. Keggers can't be choosers.

UV

Freaks that fix leaks.

Gavin
[points to the nerdy students]

Over here you have your microgeeks... nerds, whiz kids and various other bottom feeders. Music of choice: The sound of an Apple PC booting up. Drug of choice: Stephen Hawking's "A Brief History of Time"... and a cup of jasmine tea on a Saturday night.

UV

Freaks that go squeak.

Gavin
[points to the hippie students]

Over there you have your skaters. Riffin', raging kids and their ramp tramps. Baggy pants, Dickie wools, doing 50-50 grinds... with a gnarly grab finish on a homemade half-pipe in the woods. Music of choice: The whack of a hackysack. Drug of choice: Ecstasy, E-tab, baby; longer lovin' through science.

UV

Freaks in sneaks.

Gavin

Here's where it gets really... nasty. [points to the Blue Ribbons] Lorna runs with that group over there, the Blue Ribbons.

Steve

What's that?

Gavin

Community group. Good kids. Have car washes and bake sales and kiss a lot of adult sphincter.

U.V.

Blue Robots.

Gavin

Hear, hear. Those three guys are Cradle Bay's answer to Manson, McVeigh and O.J.: Trent Whalen, Andy Effkin, Robby Stewart.

UV

Hey, I bet you didn't know that toast came in three flavors.

Gavin

Music of choice: the hum of perfection, the buzz of ambition. Drug of choice: life, the pursuit of clean living at the expense of all who sniffle at the hem of their gowns.

UV

Freaks so chic.

Gavin

The you've got kids like me and UV here, those who like their metal heavy, their Marlboro's light. Music of choice...

Gavin and UV

"Harvester of sorrow, language of the mad."

Gavin

Drug of choice: what have you got?

UV

Freaks all week!

Gavin
[Bell rings]

That's it. Lesson over. Class dismembered. Welcome to Cradle Bay High, Stevie Boy. Welcome to my nightmare.

Steve

Tell me, Shannon, do you get yelled at when you talk about your dead grandfather?

Nathan

Steve...

Steve

'Cause around here, people go crazy if you talk about a dead brother.

Steve
[after seeing Chug in a fight]

What was that about?

Rachel

Toxic jock syndrome.

Gavin

No, it is not bullshit, and it wasn't steroids!

Rachel
[annoyed]

Here we go...

Steve

What?

Rachel

Gavin thinks some sinister force has taken over the Cradle Bay meatheads.

Gavin

No, you know what it is! You know!

Steve

A sinister force?

Rachel

You know, evil. Nowhere to turn, no one to trust, altogether ooky.

Dickie Atkinson the Mechanic

You had friends in Chicago?

Steve
[awkwardly]

Yeah.

Lorna

You can have friends here.

Rachel

Just tell me you have a really razor plan?

Steve

I am making this shit up as I go.

Dr. Caldicott
[after Steve begs for the family to head back to Chicago, Dr. Caldicott steps inside the Clark house]

Steven, you are home. Cradle Bay is where you belong, here with your family.

Steve
[realizing he's been betrayed by his mother and father]

You signed me up for the program?

Cynthia

We want what's best for you.

Steve
[screaming]

What about what I want??!!

Dr. Caldicott

Steven, do you really like the way you feel?

Steve

Oh, shut the **** up! [to his parents] You sold me out.

Cynthia

No, we didn't! We just want you back!

Nathan

Steven, please...

Steve
[shouting]

"Steve!" My name is "Steve", OK?! Nobody calls me "Steven" except for them!

U.V.
[U.V. isn't sure if Steve Clark is now one of the Blue Ribbons]

Hey, man, not so fast! What's the capital of North Dakota?

Steve

How the **** should I know?

U.V.

All right, you're cool.

Steve

What're you doing?

Dorian

We can't very well let these shitbirds go off and graduate into the world, can we?

Steve

Maybe they can be helped!

Dorian

No, they can't... And neither can I! [shows the gunshot wound to his stomach] Do good things, lunch boy.

Steve

It's over, you son of a bitch. It's finished.

Dr. Caldicott

"Finished"? There'll always be other towns. Other troubled teens. Other troubled parents. Science is God!

Rachel

What happened?

Steve

We're the only ones left.

Rachel

So what do we do now?

Steve

We go home.

Rachel

Where's that?

Steve

Wherever. Wherever we are.
