Jake Deosdade : [runs after Matt] Matt, wait!
Kelly : Jake, you won't believe this.
Jake Deosdade : Will you just get out of my way?

Matt Walker : Listen, about that little chat we had the other day.
Jake Deosdade : Yeah?
Matt Walker : I was wondering if there's anything you would like to take back. Fine, if that's the way you feel.
Jake Deosdade : I don't suppose you have had a chance to talk to Ashley lately.
Matt Walker : I tried to call her yesterday as a matter of fact. Didn't get very far.
Jake Deosdade : Yeah?
Matt Walker : She didn't want to talk. Not to me anyway.
Jake Deosdade : She doesn't really want to talk to anyone else either. She's really torn up. So tell me something, start of interest, does that bother you? I mean, do you even care?
Matt Walker : Yeah, of course I care.
Jake Deosdade : Then, why don't you do something about it?
Matt Walker : Like what?
Jake Deosdade : You're an intelligent guy, Matt. Figure it out.

Jake Deosdade : Oh, hi!
Courtney Simpson : Hi!
Jake Deosdade : Have you seen Ashley?
Courtney Simpson : Yesterday for a few minutes. She didn't really feel like talking. I'm getting worried about her.
Jake Deosdade : Yeah, me too. So, how about you? How are you doing?
Courtney Simpson : OK I guess. Not bad. Well, actually, I feel almost guilty about saying this when everything is going so bad for Ashley but something kind of nice happened to me this morning.
Jake Deosdade : Yeah?
Courtney Simpson : The drama teacher wanted to talk to me. The class is entering a drama play in the festival and he asked if I wanted to write it.
Jake Deosdade : Hey! Sounds great.
Courtney Simpson : Could be kind of fun.
Jake Deosdade : No! It's excellent. So, do you have any ideas? What's it gonna be about?
Courtney Simpson : Maybe, maybe it will be about some stupid girl who acts like a complete jerk to a real good friend for no reason at all. Jake, look, I'm real sorry for what I said, for the way I acted.
Jake Deosdade : No, don't be sorry. It was my fault. I was the one who...
Courtney Simpson : No! It wasn't your fault and I can't believe I acted that way. I guess I was just kind of upset. So, do you think we can still be friends?
Jake Deosdade : Yeah! I'd like that a lot. But listen, since we're friends again and since you're gonna be writing a play, I was just wondering, Shakespeare in the park is going on next weekend. So maybe, you know.
Courtney Simpson : Are you asking me if I'd like to go to the play with you?
Jake Deosdade : Oh, yeah, yeah, basically.
Courtney Simpson : Sounds great.

Matt Walker : Jake? Just in case you're interested, I saw her.
Jake Deosdade : Ashley?
Matt Walker : Yeah! I went over to her place at lunch. We talked for a couple of minutes.
Jake Deosdade : What did she say?
Matt Walker : Not much! Mainly, she just wanted me to leave. So, I did.
Jake Deosdade : How is she?
Matt Walker : Not so good. Not so good at all. Really bad.
Jake Deosdade : Maybe, I don't know, maybe she just needs a little more time. Is she coming to school tomorrow?
Matt Walker : I don't think so.
Jake Deosdade : Then, when is she coming back?
Matt Walker : I don't know and neither does she. Maybe not at all.
Jake Deosdade : Oh, come on. I mean she can't just stay away forever.
Matt Walker : That's what her parents want.
Jake Deosdade : What?
Matt Walker : They're talking about pulling her out of Hillside and sending her to a private school. They think her friends are a bad influence on her.
Jake Deosdade : You're kidding.
Matt Walker : Nope! It looks like Ashley agrees with them. She doesn't want to come back here either.
Jake Deosdade : But listen, what are we gonna do?
Matt Walker : I don't know, Jake. I really don't. Because I'm not sure how much longer I'm gonna be around either.
Jake Deosdade : What is that supposed to mean?
Matt Walker : It turns out that you and Ashley weren't the only ones who knew I was doing a little drinking. My parents found a bottle in my closet.
Jake Deosdade : You're kidding.
Matt Walker : They're freaking out. It all blew up last night. They actually think I should spend some time in one of those centers. The ones for teenagers with substance abuse problems.
Jake Deosdade : Matt.
Matt Walker : A guy has a few drinks on Friday night and what happens? His parents turn around and... It's hilarious, isn't it? You stand here and you watch the world start falling apart. I mean...

Olaf : Good morning, Jake.
Jake Deosdade : Hi!
Cyndi : Hey, you don't look so hot.
Jake Deosdade : I don't feel so hot.
Cyndi : Is something wrong?
Jake Deosdade : Oh, lots of things are wrong. The O-Zone layer is breaking down. The rainforests are disappearing.
Cyndi : Anything else?
Jake Deosdade : Ashley.
Cyndi : Yeah! She wasn't at school yesterday.
Jake Deosdade : And I don't think she's coming today. Since she got caught cheating on that math test, she can't bring herself to face anybody. Yesterday morning, she pretended to leave for school but as soon as her parents left for work, she went back home and stayed there.
Cyndi : That doesn't sound so good.
Jake Deosdade : I'm starting to worry she's having some kind of a breakdown. That stuff with the test and all that garbage she's going through with Matt. It's like the wheels are falling off.
Cyndi : So, what do you think she's gonna do?
Jake Deosdade : I don't know. But look, I'd really appreciate it if you didn't spread this around.
Cyndi : No! Don't worry about it.
[to Olaf when he gives her a bite of his candy bar]
Cyndi : Oh, thanks.
Jake Deosdade : So, hey, did you ever find your research notes?
Olaf : For my geography paper? No!
Jake Deosdade : That's really lousy. All that work.
Olaf : Yeah! 2 weeks of research. Poof! I told my mother. She patted me on the head and said poor Olaf. I told my father and he said, you idiot, why did you lose them in the first place?
