Quotes 

• Caitlin Rose : [to Abby]  It's Jace's baby, isn't it?

  Abby : Yeah, well, he wasn't so careful or gentle.

  Caitlin Rose : Why you choose to have this baby? I mean, you don't care about Jace and he sure as hell doesn't care about the two of you.

  Abby : It's hard to explain. I guess I felt that this way. At least I'd have somebody love me.

  Caitlin Rose : I understand.

  Abby : I don't even know why you're talking to me after what we did.

  Caitlin Rose : I don't know why you did it.

  Abby : You stood up for yourself. We never did.

  Caitlin Rose : But that's no reason to hate me.

  Abby : No, 'cause se if you were telling the truth about the way things really were, then we were sluts too.

  Caitlin Rose : I... uh, I gotta go.

  Abby : I can't believe you're going to college.

  Caitlin Rose : Junior college.

  Abby : You're getting out.

• Caitlin Rose : [to Ethan]  I thought you were different from the other guys. I thought we had something going.

  Ethan : Like what, true love?

  Caitlin Rose : It felt real.

  Ethan : Listen, Caitlin. I'm... uh, I'm planning on getting out of this town. The last thing I need is... uh, something to stick around for.

  Caitlin Rose : You know, I see right through you.

  Ethan : Really?

  Caitlin Rose : Yeah.

  Ethan : You don't know anything about me.

  Caitlin Rose : You work all hours on your car, making sure it runs just right, you go out by the old fairgrounds and you just let it go, put down the petal and you fly till you're outta gas. You lie awake nights, thinking of the interstate, outside of town where it goes. How far you can fly away from here.

  Ethan : How do you know all that about me?

  Jace : [Jace drives up]  Hey, been looking for you, Ethan, but I can see you've been busy.

  Caitlin Rose : See ya around...

  [walks away] 

• Jace : [to Caitlin about Jace]  Come on, just forget about him. He never lets anyone get this close to him.

  Caitlin Rose : Eh, no big deal.

  Jace : Now take me for example. You see, I'm crazy about you and you know it.

  Caitlin Rose : Jace, I don't feel very well, okay.

  Jace : Come on, Caitlin. I'm asking you to be my girl.

  Caitlin Rose : I'm nobody's girl.

  Jace : [laughs]  Okay, you can't pull this crap with me.

  Caitlin Rose : Look, this tough guy routine might work with other girls, but it doesn't work on me.

  Jace : [grabs Caitlin's arms]  Look, you did Ethan now it's my turn!

  Caitlin Rose : Don't ever grab me, Jace!

  Jace : [laughs]  I'm sorry, I must be tripping tonight. Look, let's go outside and talk about this for a minute, okay.

  Caitlin Rose : Jace, we may hang out sometimes...

  Jace : Just give me another chance. It won't happen again.

  Caitlin Rose : I know it won't!

  [walks away] 

• Avon Rose : [to Caitlin]  Why won't you talk to me?

  Caitlin Rose : Just forget it.

  Avon Rose : Junie said that there was a boy here last night. Is that what this is all about?

  Caitlin Rose : [looks back at Junie]  Look, I just don't want to talk about it, okay?

  Avon Rose : I told you I don't want boys here!

  Caitlin Rose : Oh my God. Is that what's really bothering you?

  Avon Rose : Did something happen?

  [Caitlin doesn't answer] 

  Avon Rose : Damn it, Caitlin, just tell me the truth. I want to hear you say it. You brought him into this house and you had sex with him, didn't you?

  Caitlin Rose : He tore my clothes off and he raped me! Are you happy now?

  [starts crying] 

• Abby : [to Caitlin]  So how come you weren't in school today? It's about Jace right? I heard you two partied last night.

  Caitlin Rose : Well I'm sure that's what he thinks. He's a rat.

  Abby : It's no big deal.

  Caitlin Rose : He forced me.

  Abby : If you want to go out with guys like Ethan and Jace, a guy all the girls want, you do it their way.

  Caitlin Rose : Not me.

• Avon Rose : [as she pulls condoms out of Caitlin's dresser]  What are these for, Caitlin?

  Caitlin Rose : I don't know. Doing the nasty in the dark.

  Avon Rose : You're grounded! I don't want you to see Ethan or anybody else from that crowd, you got that?

  Caitlin Rose : What are you gonna do? Lock me in the closet?

  Avon Rose : Ah, hell. Look, I know you're crazy about Ethan, I know that, but you have to remember what I've been telling you. The most precious thing that a girl has is her reputation.

  Caitlin Rose : What planet are you from?

  Avon Rose : I just don't want you to make the same mistakes I did when it comes to sex. You have to pay for them.

  Caitlin Rose : Yeah, I'm living proof.

  Avon Rose : I have dreams for you, that's all.

  Caitlin Rose : Well, I got my own dreams.

• Caitlin Rose : [to Ethan]  Look, I know it was you and Jace who wrote that stuff all over school.

  Ethan : Hey, fair warning.

  Caitlin Rose : This is not about you! This is about me and Jace!

  Ethan : Caitlin, the crew, we stick together. It's us against the world. I kinda figured you'd know that by now.

  Caitlin Rose : Why would I lie about it? What do I have to gain?

  Ethan : Why would Jace or I have to rape anybody? I got girls following me around all day long.

  Caitlin Rose : Jace didn't do this for sex. He's wired wrong. He likes to hurt girls.

  Ethan : Well, you must really believe those lies going on in your head. You're pretty damn good at it.

  Caitlin Rose : You know, I used to think this crew was so cool. I wanted to belong. Is this because Jace told you I slept with him? I didn't.

  Ethan : It doesn't really matter. A year from now, I'll be playing ball in L.A.

  Caitlin Rose : I don't think so. You're just a small town boy going nowhere.

  Ethan : Why don't you get the hell outta here?

  Caitlin Rose : Yeah, you got your Chevy all fixed up, but you got nowhere to go.

  [walks away] 

• Caitlin Rose : [to the receptionist]  Um, can I ask you a question?

  Receptionist : Sure. Take your best shot.

  Caitlin Rose : Is it rape if I let him into my house according to the law?

  Receptionist : Let me call a nurse.

  Caitlin Rose : Is it rape if I didn't want to do it even if he's a friend of mine?

  Receptionist : Look, I just answer the phones...

  Caitlin Rose : Forget it.

  [begins to walk away] 

  Receptionist : Did you say no?

  Caitlin Rose : [turns around]  If I said no, is it rape?

  Receptionist : No is no.

• Avon Rose : [to Caitlin]  Oh, baby. I'm so sorry. I am so sorry!

  [hugs her] 

  Caitlin Rose : I can't prove it happened.

  Avon Rose : We're gonna press charges.

  Caitlin Rose : It'll be my word against his.

  Avon Rose : I know, I know.

  Caitlin Rose : I just wanna forget this ever happened.

  Avon Rose : Whatever you want.

  Caitlin Rose : 'Kay.

  Avon Rose : We'll just, uh... we'll just put this all behind us.

• Caitlin Rose : [to Ethan]  What?

  Ethan : Jace told me the truth.

  Caitlin Rose : So your good buddy let it slip and now you believe me. So grateful!

  Ethan : Yeah, I didn't mean it like that.

  Caitlin Rose : Now you come running to me thinking everything's gonna be okay.

  Ethan : Look, let's just try and start over all right? Pretend this whole thing never happened.

  Caitlin Rose : Pretend it never happened? It happened. You made it happen. You did it!

  Ethan : Yes, I made a mistake, all right. We made a mistake. I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make things right. Just give me a chance.

  Caitlin Rose : I don't need you. I don't want you!

  Ethan : You're all I think about.

  Caitlin Rose : I deserve better.

  Ethan : Yeah, yeah. You're right.

  Caitlin Rose : I don't even know if I... if I like you. I don't even know how I feel about you.

  Ethan : Look, just let me come over to your house and ask you for a date all right, real straight? I'll sit in the living room and talk to your mom. I'll bring flowers and candy, whatever guys do.

  Caitlin Rose : Are you nuts?

  Ethan : Yeah.

  [pauses] 

  Ethan : I'll do that.

  Caitlin Rose : 'Kay. Let's see how you like being turned inside out like me.

• Avon Rose : [to Caitlin about Jace]  You invited him into this house, didn't you?

  Caitlin Rose : I was trying to let him down easy. I didn't want to hurt his feelings.

  Avon Rose : Did he touch you first?

  Caitlin Rose : I held his hand.

  Avon Rose : And then things just went too far.

  Caitlin Rose : It wasn't like that.

  Avon Rose : Just went a little too far!

  Caitlin Rose : He made me!

  Avon Rose : Caitlin, that is a perfectly convenient excuse.

  Caitlin Rose : Oh, God, just forget it!

  Avon Rose : Girls run around are asking for it. Now everyone in town knows that.

  Caitlin Rose : Well, everyone in town can just go to hell.

  Avon Rose : You had sex with this guy right here in this house right here. You invited him in. Now what did you expect would happen?

  Caitlin Rose : Maybe to you, that's sex!

  Avon Rose : [slaps Caitlin]  Don't you talk to me like that! When I was in high school, I knew how things work.

  Caitlin Rose : Yeah, you knew how things work? Knocked up at seventeen, high school dropout. That makes you an authority.

  [storms out the front door] 

  Junie Rose : Jace made her do it! He's a creep!

  [follows Caitlin out the door] 

• Caitlin Rose : [after Caitlin sees Jace]  Junie, come on. Let's go.

  Jace : Hey, Caitlin. Your cute sister has your pretty eyes. Hey, maybe she wants to join the crew. I could break her in.

  Caitlin Rose : It will never happen, Jace. You raped me!

  Jace : That was love, baby.

  [Caitlin throws a milkshake in his face] 

• Jace : [to Caitlin]  So, uh, you wanna swim out to the really deep place?

  Caitlin Rose : You know what? I'll tell you, Jace, I hear there's snakes out there.

  Jace : [laughs]  Now that is definitely true, but you know the guys get a little slippery in the water, but, hey I'll protect you. So what do you say we go skinny dipping? It's just you and me and all night long.

  Caitlin Rose : Naw, I'll catch ya later Jace.

  [walks over to Ethan]
