• Jake Deosdade : Your math test?

  Ashley Frasier : I told you, I couldn't study. I didn't know anything that was gonna be on it. So I made a list.

  Jake Deosdade : How do you mean?

  Ashley Frasier : A list of answers. A cheat sheet, Jake and I took it in and hid it under the exam paper. But Mrs. Tinelli must have seen me because she came over in the middle of the exam and she grabbed it and held it up in front of the whole class. In front of the entire class with everybody staring at me.

  Jake Deosdade : Oh no!

  Ashley Frasier : Then I got sent down to the principal's.

  Jake Deosdade : OK, just wait. I mean, I know how you feel.

  Ashley Frasier : It was awful, Jake. I just wanted to die.

  Jake Deosdade : Maybe it wasn't the smartest thing to do. But even so...

  Ashley Frasier : Don't you understand? I cheated on a test.

  Jake Deosdade : Yeah, I know.

  Ashley Frasier : I cheated, Jake and now everyone knows and they're all gonna think I cheated on everything else too.

  Jake Deosdade : No one's gonna think that.

  Ashley Frasier : How can I look anyone in the eye? And how on earth do I tell my parents?

  Jake Deosdade : Ashley, listen...

  Brooke Morgan : We've heard, Ashley. We both have.

  Kelly : Everybody has.

  Jake Deosdade : Look...

  Brooke Morgan : And we understand. Well, we sort of understand. It's not the end of the world and it's not like everyone's gonna think you're totally a horrible person.

  Kelly : No, no. It's not quite that.

  Brooke Morgan : All the same. I have to tell you, Ashley, I'm awfully disappointed. I really am. Cheating is a very bad thing.

  Kelly : It's dishonest.

  Brooke Morgan : I just never thought you would stoop to something like this.

  Kelly : I'm shocked, Brooke. I really am.

  Brooke Morgan : Of course you are. We're both shocked. We're appalled.

• Jake Deosdade : [in his second huge argument with Matt about him and Ashley breaking up after having a huge argument with her about his drinking problem] 

  Matt Walker : Are you gonna join me?

  Jake Deosdade : Have you heard about Ashley?

  Matt Walker : Hasn't everybody?

  Matt Walker : It sure gets around.

  Matt Walker : Yeah! She cheated on a test which was pretty dumb and she got caught which was even dumber.

  Jake Deosdade : Don't you even care?

  Matt Walker : It doesn't have anything to do with me, does it? Remember? We broke up. Cheating on a test. I never thought Ashley would do something like that. It's amazing to learn about people.

  Jake Deosdade : Do you have any idea how torn up she is?

  Matt Walker : And how do you think I feel? The whole school thinks I'm some sort of alcoholic just because I had a few drinks on Friday night. I've got 300 kids whispering behind my back. How would you like to put up with that?

  Jake Deosdade : Oh, I see. I'm supposed to feel sorry for you am I?

  Matt Walker : You can feel however you like.

  Jake Deosdade : I'm supposed to sit back and sigh while you tell me your troubles, huh? Well forget it. Because I'm sick of it, you jerk.

  Matt Walker : What?

  Jake Deosdade : Ashley tied herself in knots trying to help you and you turn around and dump her. And now that she's having a nervous breakdown, you want sympathy for your troubles? What sort of total jerk are you? Hey, sure. Go ahead, hit me. What a great way to prove you're a man.

  Jake Deosdade : Don't push it, Jake.

  Jake Deosdade : Let me ask you something, buddy. Do you care about anybody but yourself? Anybody?

  Kelly : [on the phone]  Hi, it's me. I'm down at the Avalon. You wouldn't believe what just happened. At totally world class shouting matchtween Matt and Jake. No! I'm not kidding. But anyway, that's not what I called to tell you. Listen, I've done it. Yeah! It's all set up. Just another couple of days and Brooke is finally going to get what she deserves.

• Kelly : Brooke.

  Brooke Morgan : What are you doing here?

  Kelly : That doesn't matter. Listen!

  Brooke Morgan : I thought you had a dentist appointment.

  Kelly : Forget about the dentist. Listen to this. It's Ashley.

  Brooke Morgan : What about her?

  Brooke Morgan : Our favorite school girl, little miss perfect, the girl who does every assignment and makes every honor roll.

  Brooke Morgan : I know who Ashley is. What about her?

  Kelly : She just got caught cheating on a test.

  Brooke Morgan : Ashley?
