L:I should have known not to try kissing you. I'm sorry.
E:You did it because I asked you to. God, what is wrong with me?
L:Nothing.
E:I just want to be well. I just want to be normal.
L:We already discussed that. We're never gonna be normal. That's
what makes us superior. No matter what you said, I shouldn't have tried that.
E:No, you never would have if I hadn't made you. Just don't sweat
it.
L:You know that, do you? Probably shouldn't say this, but I wanted to kiss you a hundred times.
E:You have?
L:Yeah, for months.

L:Oh, I can't believe I said that. Just making it worse now. Here, you just wanted a friendly trial run, like performing at the nurse's ball and I have to go and be too real about it and spoil the whole thing.
E:You've really thought about kissing me? For months?
L:Why did I tell you that?
E:Why didn't I ask you to kiss me earlier? You know, before I was
raped, I had a crush on you. That's why it was such a big deal when I stupidly thought we sort of had a real date at the Valentine's Dance. Gram knew. She took me to buy a dress.
L:I didn't know.
E:I know. I can't compete with Sarah.
L:Sarah who?
E:You know, I haven't had a lot of experience. And now I'm afraid
to get any. I don't even know why. I don't understand it. Is this
embarrassing you?
L:No. No.
E:He took stuff from me I can't get back and I hate him for that.
And he's going to keep on doing that, so I have to stop him, so I can go on. I'm going to get this guy, Lucky. I swear I am.
