The Value of Unfiltered Moments
Maddy Perfect.
[''Takes one picture'']
Cole What happened to 40 pictures?
Maddy Moments like this should be unfiltered.
Confrontation of Blame and Apologies
Maddy How could you do this to me? I never did anything to you.
Cole It wasn't supposed to go down like that. It wasn't supposed to be you.
Maddy You blame your entire shitty high school experience on me as if you being a loser is my fault. You just stood on the sidelines judging me, thinking you were better than me.
Cole You're right. I'm sorry.
Maddy Sorry's not good enough.
Marissa Are you kidding me? Tighty lives!
[''Marissa pulls down Cole's pants''; ''Students cheer'']
Cole Enough! I'm sorry, Maddy. But this is all on you.
[''Cole steps out of his pants and stands on top of a garbage can in his underwear'']
Maddy What? I didn't even do anything.
Cole Exactly. You never do anything. Which is exactly why guys like Kane think it's okay to torment us endlessly. Because there are no consequences to their actions. You stay their friend. You go to their parties. You become their girlfriend or boyfriend. You stand idly by like citizens of a war who believe they have no blame for the atrocities that happen in high school. So yeah, we ruined your night. So what? We didn't shoot up the school, none of us committed suicide. Even though we may have thought of it just because of the way you treat us. And the saddest part is that most of us just wish you liked us. We even fall in love with you. We all grew up together. The only people in our entire lives we'll be able to say that about. And here we are, using all these new forms of communication not to bring us all together, but to rip each other apart. Movies have been made for decades about how cruel we are to each other. And we can relate. Just nothing ever happens. High school is just a popularity contest. But for some reason, that's not good enough. So we created an actual popularity contest... for prom king and queen. To verify just how unpopular the rest of us are. What is up with that? Prom.
Emile Fuck the prom!
Cole Yeah, fuck the prom!
TJ Fuck the prom!
Abbey Yeah, fuck the prom!
City, Sweats and Strings Fuck the prom!
Everyone Fuck the prom...!

Fear of Disappointment in Seeking Truth
Cathe Martin Will you just give this a chance? I don't know, I think it might be real.
Greg Laurie That's the problem, Cathe! I can't... I just can't be let down again. What I felt in there, I haven't...
Cathe Martin I know.
Greg Laurie What if it's another high? What if it's another drug, you know? It's good for a minute and then it's gone. What then?
Cathe Martin We can find out together.

A Warning to Friends
Joe Lamb Guys, WATCH OUT!
Prom Crowning: A Question of Authenticity
Cole As long as you go to prom, your high school experience won't be a complete bust. And if you're crowned prom king or queen, it's like being told you win at high school.
Maddy Yeah but sometimes it's the gay kid, or the trans-sexual kid, or the crippled kid.
Cole So that the popular kids can feel like good people for allowing it to happen.
Maddy I never thought of it that way.
Cole See, um... What the popular kids don't realize is that most of their awesome high school experiences are at the expense of the unpopular kids feelings.
Resilience Amidst Adversity
Joe Lamb I know bad things happen. Bad things happen. But you can still live. You can still live.
