It’s just that I’ve waited so long for my old school to make it to the Regionals… I suppose I was living it vicariously through you. Keith says you’re not going to fail, after all. Is that right?””Looks like I’ll make it. I know it’s hard to believe…””Yes, it is. I was hoping you could get a football scholarship, you know.

I said I was sorry, Dani…” Kevin said, as they entered the apartment.”I’m so not talking to you.””I couldn’t help it! She was so funny, and you were blushing, and… gawd, Dani, I couldn’t help it!””You just had to get us all soft pretzels, didn’t you… just had to make sure we’d walk right by that lingerie store…””Dani… it, uh, it hadn’t even occurred to me-“”I hate you! When I go to therapy about this, I’m going to send you the bill!””You’re beautiful when your angry.””Then I must be fucking gorgeous right now!””You are.””… Well, I’m still not talking to you.
