Quotes 

• [Bailey sees that he had the same results on his SAT scores after trying again] 

  Bailey Salinger : You should've listened to me. I can't do this stuff, okay? I'm just not good at it. I'm... Kind of stupid is what I am.

  Maggie Beaton : You're not stupid. You're having trouble with the test. We've worked on it for one day.

  Bailey Salinger : Would you cut it out? You are part of the problem here. You don't have to lie to me. I can handle it. I'll just apply to State, and... And that's that.

  Maggie Beaton : I wonder what things are like for you at home.

  Bailey Salinger : What?

  Maggie Beaton : I know things have changed.

  Bailey Salinger : Things are fine, thanks.

  Maggie Beaton : Yeah, I'm sure they are. You come to school every day. You're healthy. You're taken care of. But nobody holds you accountable, do they, Bailey? I mean, if you screw up, or you fail, or you quit, does anyone mind? Does anyone tell you that you can do better?
