Then I assume Allison and I
are better people than you guys, huh?
Us weirdos.
Would you do that to me?
I don't have any friends.
- Well, if you did?
- No.
I don't think the kind of friends
I'd have would mind.
I just want to tell each of you
that I wouldn't do that.
I wouldn't and I will not.
Because I think that's real shitty.
Your friends wouldn't mind
because they look up to us.
You're so conceited, Claire.
You're so conceited.
You're so full of yourself. Why?
I'm not saying that to be conceited.
I hate having to go along
with everything my friends say.
- (Johnson) Then why do you do it?
- I don't know. I don't...
You don't understand. You don't...
You're not friends
with the same kind of people.
You don't understand
the pressure they can put on you.
I don't understand what? You think
I don't understand pressure, Claire?
Well, fuck you! Fuck you!
You know why I'm here today?
Do you?
I'm here because Mr Ryan
found a gun in my locker.
Why did you have a gun in your locker?
I tried.
You pull the fucking trunk on it
and the light's supposed to go on.
It didn't go on, I mean...
- (Andrew) What was the gun for?
- Forget it.
You brought it up, man.
I can't have an F.
I can't have it
and I know my parents can't have it.
Even if I ace the rest of the semester,
I'm still only a B.
Everything's ruined for me.
Brian.
- I considered my options.
- Killing yourself is not an option.
I didn't do it, did I?
I don't think so.
It was a hand gun?
No, it was a flare gun.
It went off in my locker.
Really?
It's not funny.
(Laughing)
Yes, it is.
The fucking elephant was destroyed.
You want to know
what I did to get in here?
Nothing.
I didn't have anything better to do.
- You're laughing at me.
- No.
Yeah, you are.

# The living colour tends to dull our sight
# Like Dynamite
# Just imagine my surprise
# When I looked
into your eyes and saw
# Through your disguise
# If we dare expose our hearts
# Just to feel the purest parts
# That's when strange sensations
start to grow
# We are not alone
# Find out when your cover's blown
# There'll be someone
there to break your fall
# We are not alone
# Because when you cut
down to the bone
# We're really not so different
after all #
Brian?
- Are you going to write your paper?
- Yeah. Why?
Well, it's kind of a waste
for all of us to write our paper.
That's what Vernon wants us to do.
(Claire) True, but I think
we'd all say the same thing.
You just don't want
to write your paper. Right?
True, but...
- You're the smartest, right?
- Well...
We trust you.
Yeah.
All right.
I'll do it.
Great.
- Come on.
- Where are we going?
Come on.
(Claire) Don't be afraid.
- Don't stick that in my eye.
- I'm not sticking it.
Just go like that.
Good.
You look better without that black shit.
I like that black shit.
(Claire) This looks a lot better.
Look up.
- Please! Why are you being so nice?
- Because you're letting me.
(Door opens)
Are you lost?
Cool!
Thank you.
- Why did you do that?
- I knew you wouldn't.
You know you said your parents
use you to get back at each other?
Wouldn't I be outstanding
in that capacity?
Were you disgusted
by what I did with my lipstick?
Truth?
Truth.
No.
What happened to you?
Why? Claire did it.
What's wrong?
Nothing's wrong. It's just...
You're just so different.
I can see your face.
Is that good or bad?
It's good.
- See you, Brian.
- See you, Carl.
- See you next Saturday.
- You bet.
