Lucas - A Risky Encounter with Unexpected Outcomes
Maggie: [at the hospital, she begins to cry]
You could have gotten killed.
Lucas:
Did we win?
Maggie:
No way.
Lucas:
Boy. They sure were big.
Maggie: [she laughs]
I don't want you ever playing football again.
Luca:
Okay.
Maggie:
You.
Lucas:
Magpie.
Maggie:
Locust. They're all gone, you know. The locusts. I was just outside. They aren't making any noise anymore.
Lucas:
Not for 17 years.
Lucas:
I'm sorry for doing this.
Maggie:
I guess you had to.
Lucas:
Yeah.
Maggie: [both smile]
You know, survival of the species and all. What are you thinking?
Lucas:
I'm just wondering where we'll be when they come back.
Maggie:
Who?
Lucas:
The locusts.
Maggie:
Gosh, I don't know.
Lucas:
You'll be 33.
Maggie:
Oh, wow.
Lucas:
I'll be 31 1/2. I wonder if we'll still know each other.
Maggie:
I don't know.
Lucas:
I hope so.
Maggie:
Oh, me too.

Lucas - Emotional Vulnerability and Peer Pressure
Maggie: [joins Lucas under the bridge]
Come on out, Lucas. I know you're in there. I can see your feet. Have you been crying?
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?
Maggie:
Lucas, we're just friends.
Maggie:
What am I going to do with you?
Lucas: [Heartbroken, he gets up and goes to the nest; eyes her]
Go away. Go. Leave! LEAVE!! GO!! GO AWAY!!!

Like...

Like politics?

So-so.

Lucas - Plans Change Due to Relationship Issues
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.

Lucas:
What for?
Maggie:
I might want to do it.
Lucas:
What, be a cheerleader?
Maggie:
I don't know. Is that all right, Lucas?
Maggie:
Well, the way you were looking at me.
Lucas:
Whatever. We can collect tadpoles tomorrow.
Maggie:
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?
