Lucas: But aren't they here?

Maggie: Cappie's here, and he's very depressed. Sit down.

[Lucas sits with Maggie outside her front door]

Maggie: She was jealous, or she doesn't like me or something. She said she'd break up with him if he went through with it. She didn't want to go with us, Luke. So, I think we have to call it off.

Lucas: I have my bike. We can still go.

Maggie: He kind of needs someone with him tonight. I don't want to leave him by himself. He had tears in his eyes when he came over tonight. Can you imagine tat big, strong guy crying?

[Cappie walks out of the house and sits between Maggie and Lucas]

Cappie: Naw. I'd feel like a third wheel. We were thinking of going out for a pizza. Why don't you come with us?

Maggie: Yeah, why don't you?

Lucas: You're going out for pizza.

Cappie: Well, it's just a suggestion.

Lucas: If you're so depressed how come you're eating pizza?

Lucas: No. Go eat pizza. Don't let me spoil your depression.

Cappie: No, I don't think you're stupid.

Alise: Well, I'm glad you don't think I'm stupid.

Cappie: But I think you're overreacting.

Alise: Every time I turn around, you're walking with her or talking with her or looking at her or smiling at her.

Cappie: Will you calm down?

Alise: No, I will not calm down.

Cappie: She's new at school. She doesn't know anybody.

Cappie: You're supposed to have a little bit of compassion.

Alise: She doesn't have friends, she can make her own, she doesn't have to get buddy-buddy with my boyfriend, okay?

Cappie: I'm just being nice to her.

Alise: Well, stop being nice to her. I don't want you talking to her anymore, I don't want to turn around and see you walking with her and smiling at her. I don't want her in this car on Friday night. We're not giving her any ride to any goddamn dance, she can put her fat ass on the back of Lucas's bike where it goddamn well belongs!

Cappie: I think you can just tell me what to do, is that it?

Alise: We're not taking her to any dance, and that's final. You can stop being nice to her, or you can forget about me.

Cappie: Hey, what's the point?

Bruno: No, I think I have to settle this.

Angie: Well, I came to see a movie.

[Cappie and Maggie talk while waiting for Cappie's shirt to get clean in the school's washroom]

Cappie: Absolutely.

Maggie: Do you?

Cappie: What?

Maggie: Have heavy thoughts.

Cappie: Oh, yeah. Sure. All the time. I'm not having any right now.

[Maggie laughs]

Cappie: But just give me some time.

Maggie: [referring to Lucas] What did he do for you? You said he helped you once.

Cappie: Oh, right. Yeah. With my school work. I was out with this terrible case of hepatitis for a couple months. And he came by my house everyday and brought my books to me. I still don't know why he did.

Maggie: Because you're nice to him.

Cappie: I didn't used to be. I used to treat him like everybody else does.

Maggie: Why do people do that?

Cappie: I don't know, because he's strange I guess. You know, last year, he even had this strange walk. He said it had something to do with the force of gravity. Just the way he mouths off at class sometimes, that's how the term leukoplakia got started. Anyways, I do owe a lot to him, and I like him.

Maggie: I like him too.

Cappie: So I'll do what I can to keep him from getting hurt.

Maggie: Yeah.

[Maggie smiles]

Bruno: You know if I was you, I wouldn't stick around to see the movie. You understand me, Leukoplakia? I'm gonna be looking for you guys afterwards.

Cappie: No you won't.

Bruno: The hell I won't?

Cappie: They're gonna be with me afterwards.

Bruno: Oh yeah.

Cappie: Yeah we're going out to eat.

Bruno: Why are you always sticking up for this wimp for?

Cappie: Why you always picking on him for?
