Quotes 

• Loren Gregory : God, Nora is such a brat these days.

  Steve Stein : Oh come on, like she said, she learned from the best.

  Loren Gregory : Real funny, jerk-o.

• Loren Gregory : Smoking kills, didn't you hear?

  Nora Stanley : Ha! Gee, and this from the one who got me started.

• Loren Gregory : I can't believe the school's throwing homecoming in the old gym. Of all the shitty ways to save a penny.

  Cassie Herron : Come on, Loren, just be glad we're finally in high school and can actually go this year.

  Nora Stanley : So it was your lame idea to come to this shit-ass porta-potty of a party?

  Jaclyn Baker : Wasn't it Annie's sophomore boy toy that had this brilliant idea?

• Cassie Herron : Look at us, I miss this. I feel like I haven't seen any of you in ages. Can you actually believe we're seniors?

  Jaclyn Baker : I know, insane, but it's sad at the same time, because we all failed so hard at being friends.

  Loren Gregory : We should make more of an effort to get together, Steve would like that too.

  Cassie Herron : What about Annie? How is she?

  Jaclyn Baker : Oh please, she wouldn't even return your call if you were on your deathbed.

  Loren Gregory : She's the same pretty much up and down.

  Nora Stanley : Yeah and I imagine the remarkable return of homecoming has really helped her healing process.

  Jaclyn Baker : Well I don't blame her, I mean I've been a ball of nerves myself too. I even puked before school this morning.

• Loren Gregory : [finds a bloody note in her locker]  Jesus! What the hell?

  Jaclyn Baker : Happy Homecoming?

  Cassie Herron : Major creepage, I didn't realize Steve was so morbidly romantic.

  Nora Stanley : [holds up a matching note from her own locker]  He's not.

  [the others run to their lockers to find more notes] 

• Steve Stein : What did Billy do to her?

  Loren Gregory : Nothing yet, but he tried.

  Annie Morgan : Guys, I just want to go home!

  Wade Scott : Look, just give me the keys, I'll go talk to him.

  Loren Gregory : No.

  Wade Scott : You can't just leave him locked in the closet.

  Loren Gregory : Watch me

• Cassie Herron : [Loren and Annie return to the party]  Loren, truth or dare?

  Loren Gregory : Dare, Billy's a major prick.

  Steve Stein : [everyone sees Annie's disheveled state]  Holy shit, what happened in there?

  Jaclyn Baker : Are you guys okay?

• Principal Patterson : What's going on out here?

  Steve Stein : Oh shit.

  Mrs. Patterson : Shouldn't you all be at the dance?

  Loren Gregory : Those asshole senior linemen wouldn't let us into the dance, Principal Patterson.

• Loren Gregory : Hey, what're you doing tonight?

  Jaclyn Baker : Karl's off in a few so I'll probably just head over to the station.

  Steve Stein : Surprise surprise.

  Jaclyn Baker : Oh come on, it's not like you two aren't up each other's butts 24/7 too, okay?

  Steve Stein : Vulgar, true, but vulgar.

  Loren Gregory : So is Karl coming to the dance tomorrow night?

  Jaclyn Baker : Are you kidding me? He wouldn't be caught dead back in this place, I mean plus he's on duty.

• Annie Morgan : I don't know, I don't think this is such a good idea.

  Loren Gregory : Actually it's a great idea. Good job, Billy, maybe you're not as much of a dry spot as I thought you were.

  Billy Corbin : Thanks... I think.

• Mrs. Patterson : Perhaps you'd like to give your thoughts on the narrative position of "Oroonoko"?

  Loren Gregory : Oh uh, the narrator inherits her stature from her ancestors without choice, Behn doesn't want to discriminate against Oroonoko because she knows he's her equal even though he's a slave. Behn has to stay in her place to keep things status quo.

  Mrs. Patterson : Well put, Loren. Now can anyone think of modern day parallels to this view?

  [no one answers] 

  Mrs. Patterson : Well, high school is one with a plethora or viewpoints from ethnicity, to gender, to something as intimate as who we fall in love with. In Oroonoko, Behn unveils that it is within our nature to set boundaries on ourselves, because they ultimately help us survive.

• Steve Stein : Well we're gonna have to cheers to something.

  Wade Scott : How about to old friends?

  Cassie Herron : And new beginnings.

  Jaclyn Baker : To our last homecoming.

  Loren Gregory : And surviving the night.

  [clink glasses] 

• Steve Stein : So why'd you look so spooked when you got to class?

  Loren Gregory : Oh, nothing, Fred startled me.

  Jaclyn Baker : Ew, that pervy janitor?

  Nora Stanley : Custodial engineer.

  Steve Stein : Wait, did he touch you?

  Loren Gregory : No, Steve, he just startled me.

  Jaclyn Baker : Steve, don't be a hater, Fred's a goodie-goodie.

  Steve Stein : What do you mean?

  Nora Stanley : Apparently he's a volunteer firefighter on the weekends? I saw his getup in the janitorial closet.

  Steve Stein : What were you doing in the custodian closet?

  Nora Stanley : Oh I was doing, Robby, in there, while you dweebs were hall decorating.

• Mrs. Patterson : [Loren's tied up, surrounded by the principal and her dead friends, as she screams for help the killer arrives and unmasks]  You're wasting your breath, Loren.

  Loren Gregory : Mrs. Patterson?

  Mrs. Patterson : [takes off the fire gear]  I don't know what happened to that bratty friend, Jaclyn, I can't seem to find her again. But your little Steve, he's just a wet spot under the bleachers. I suppose I could have mopped him up and put him in a little bucket to join you, but really, I am just so exhausted. You kids put up way more of a fight that I expected.

  [Loren cries] 

  Mrs. Patterson : Aw, don't do that. It's so pathetic.

  Loren Gregory : But why are you doing this? I don't understand!

  Mrs. Patterson : What don't you understand, Loren?

  Loren Gregory : Why would you do this? You were always so nice.

  Mrs. Patterson : Yes, I *am* nice, Loren! And look where it's gotten me, teaching literature at this low-brow, small-town high school, under the supervision of that manipulative bastard husband who cheats on me every chance he gets. But he's finally gonna get what he deserves tonight.

  Loren Gregory : But my friends, we didn't do anything to you!

  Mrs. Patterson : Of course you did. What, you think this was all for nothing, that I'm just some psychopathic lunatic?

  Loren Gregory : W-what did we do?

  Mrs. Patterson : You... took, my Billy away.

  Loren Gregory : What are you talking about?

  Mrs. Patterson : Is that so hard to believe that Billy Corbin could want a disgusting old hag like me? Because he did, and he had me too.

  Loren Gregory : You and Billy were screwing?

  Mrs. Patterson : Is that such an outlandish concept for a teacher to be screwing her student? I don't think it's unheard of.

  [turns to her husband who's also tied and gagged] 

  Mrs. Patterson : Do you, dear?

  Loren Gregory : But you're married to him!

  Mrs. Patterson : That disgusting excuse for a human being? Dan... Dan! He was never married to me, he was married to his career. But Billy, Billy was different, he was Godsent, failing class, needed tutoring, one thing led to another, it was so beautiful... and then *she* came along. Sweet, beautiful, innocent Annie Morgan, she became all he ever talked about. Everybody just *loved* Annie. What a disgusting little creature, and *you*, her best friend, her biggest accomplice. I know what you did, Loren! I know you're more responsible for Billy's death than anyone!

  Loren Gregory : He was going to *rape* her! I didn't mean to kill him. If I hadn't locked him in that closet, he would have attacked us. He wasn't a good person, Mrs. Patterson, he was probably just using you to get good grades, just like he used everyone else to get what he wanted.

  Mrs. Patterson : [slaps Loren]  That's a lie! He loved me, I know he did!

  Loren Gregory : Billy Corbin didn't love anyone but himself, and you know it!

  Mrs. Patterson : [draws back]  Well, it doesn't really matter anymore, does it? Cuz Billy's gone, and just a short time, you will be too. You and your little friends are gonna burn, just like you did to my Billy.

  [pours gasoline on Loren, her husband, and all the dead bodies, lights a match] 

  Mrs. Patterson : Any last words, Loren?

  Loren Gregory : [defiant]  Go to hell.

  Mrs. Patterson : You first.

• Jaclyn Baker : Hey, I think I know who put those letters in our lockers.

  Loren Gregory : Who?

  [Jaclyn nods to Mathis] 

  Loren Gregory : Really?

  Jaclyn Baker : I know he did, he's still pissed at us about Billy, Karl told me.

  Steve Stein : But how would he have gotten into our lockers?

  Jaclyn Baker : I don't know, but he gets to school early for extra football practice, so he has time to do it.

  Loren Gregory : It makes sense.
