• 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.

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

  Jake Deosdade : Matt, aren't you even gonna listen? I'm telling you the truth. Ashley didn't say anything to anyone.

  Matt Walker : Who says?

  Jake Deosdade : Well, she does, of course.

  Matt Walker : Yeah, right! And what else would she say?

  Jake Deosdade : I don't believe this.

  Matt Walker : Look, there are 2 people who could have spread stories about what happened on Friday night. One of them is Ashley. The other one is you.

  Jake Deosdade : Oh, get real. You think I ran around telling people?

  Matt Walker : I don't know. You tell me.

  Jake Deosdade : Of course I didn't.

  Matt Walker : So that proves it then, doesn't it? It had to be Ashley.

  Jake Deosdade : Matt!

  Matt Walker : I told her not to talk about it and she went right ahead. Well, that's it. We're finished.

  Jake Deosdade : Come on.

  Matt Walker : And while we're at it, I don't need friends who keep trying to take her side. People who start hassling me every time I have a beer. So make your decision, Jake. Either you're my friend or you're not.
