Emotional Vulnerability and Peer Pressure
Maggie
Come on out, Lucas. I know you're in there. I can see your feet. Have you been crying?
[joins Lucas under the bridge]
Lucas
Yeah. So what? I mean, wimps do that. Didn't you know? Just like big, strong guys.
Maggie
What do you want me to do, Lucas?
Lucas
I don't care. Just keep doing what you're doing. Go to bed with him.
Maggie
That's not fair.
Lucas
Yeah, a lot of things aren't fair.
Maggie
Lucas, you and I were just friends.
Lucas
Why?
Maggie
What do you mean, why?
Lucas
I mean, why just friends?
Maggie
Because that's all we were.
Lucas
Yeah, but why?
Maggie
Well, you're 14.
Lucas
Romeo was 14.
Maggie
I don't know, Lucas. There are certain people you like in a certain way, and others you like as a friend. I don't know why. You know about science, do you know why?
Lucas
Yeah. Actually, I do. It's called the process of natural selection. You ever heard of Darwin? The males who demonstrate physical prowess are the most attractive to the females. And by breeding with the strongest males, the females ensure survival of the species.
Maggie
You know how wonderful you are?
Lucas
Yeah, but it doesn't turn you on, does it?

Lucas
So, you ready to go?
Maggie
I don't think we can go, Lucas.
Lucas
Why not?
Maggie
Cappie and Alise broke up today.
Lucas
But aren't they here?
Maggie
Cappie's here, and he's very depressed. Sit down.
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 that big, strong guy crying?
Cappie
Hi, Luke. I am sorry, Bud. Am I a drag, or what?
Lucas
Listen. I think you should come to the dance with us. I think it'd cheer you up.
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?
Cappie
Maybe I should just go home.
Lucas
No. Go eat pizza. Don't let me spoil your depression.
Maggie
Are you okay? Where are you going?
Lucas
To the dance.
Maggie
By yourself?
Lucas
Hey, I'm a party animal.

Well, If I like it, I will be doing it tomorrow, too. They practice everyday.
Maggie
It sounds like fun, Lucas. well, didn't you hear what they said? Away games and buses and stuff.
Lucas
I guess everybody has their own idea of fun. Some people go to football games. Other people do less superficial things.
Maggie
Look, just because you don't approve of something, doesn't mean other people don't have a right to enjoy it. You're in the band aren't you?
Lucas
Yeah?
Maggie
So?
Lucas
So?
Maggie
So the band goes to football games!
Lucas
We're totally different!
Maggie
Why?
Lucas
Because the band does not have fun there!
Maggie
Then why do you do it?
Lucas
I don't know.
Maggie
Well, figure it out, and in the meantime don't call people superficial because they just want to have fun. Look, I'm new here. I don't know anybody. Why can't you be helpful and understanding about that?
