    Ken: Hey, is that the game?

    Valerie: Want some?

    Ken: Do I want some?

    Ken: Yeah, all right. Don't Bogart that joint.

    Ken: That's good stuff. Thanks.

    Ken: Sometimes I get so sad.

    Valerie: Why don't you go back upstairs to the party?

    Ken: I used to perform.

    Ken: Magic. Texas state champions, 1982.

    Valerie: Wow, that sucks.

    Ken: Yeah, I gave that up too. So you're like what, seventeen?

    Valerie: Fifteen.

    Ken: Fifteen? Wow. That's...

    Valerie: Yeah, next month, I'm getting my learner's permit early 'cause my brother's like slightly retarded.

    Ken: Who, Josh?

    Valerie: Yeah.

    Ken: He didn't seem-I mean, we were talking and he seemed...

    Valerie: Yeah, I think they misdiagnosed him or something. He's just stupid sometimes.

    Ken: "Just stupid." That's funny.

    Valerie: Yeah, he's all right. He gets me weed.

    Ken: I bet you get a lot of attention.

    Valerie: What do you mean?

    Ken: I mean being a dancer. Being... You know.

    Valerie: You mean, like, guys?

    Ken: You know if I had to do over again, go back to school-what grade are you in?

    Valerie: Freshman.

    Ken: If I had to do it over again, I don't think I would have listened to Wanda Kerpec.

    Valerie: You like to talk a lot.

    Ken: She was this girl-I was, we were-you've, you know, you've... right? You've-

    Valerie: Fucked?

    Ken: So anyway, Wanda, she told me I was hurting her, so I let go. Turned out later that was her thing. Wanda Kerpec.

    Valerie: Yeah, I've been date-raped.

    Ken: You're sweet.

    Valerie: Sometimes, I just feel like I have no choice in anything. Like it's all just gonna happen anyway, so what's the use?

    Ken: Sounds like my first marriage.

    Valerie: Did you love her?

    Ken: Fifteen, huh? Your hair looks really soft.

    Valerie: You want me to be that Wanda girl, don't you?

    Ken: No.

    Valerie: Yes.

    Ken: No. No, no, no.

    Valerie: Yeah, I figured.

    Ken: Yeah, you figured what, Ms. Smarty-pants?

    Ken: What are you...

    Valerie: Your button's undone.

    Ken: Well, I can't have my buttons-

    Valerie: Shh.

    Ken: Hey, hey. Hey.

    Valerie: What?

    Ken: What are you doing?

    Valerie: Having sex. What are you doing?

    Ken: Valerie-

    Valerie: You think my parents give a shit?

    Ken: I don't-

    Valerie: What? I thought you wanted to.

    Ken: You're fifteen.

    Valerie: You were talking like you wanted it.

    Ken: I don't want "it."

    Valerie: Yeah, well, neither did I. I was just doing it for your sake. Serves me right for feeling sorry for you.

    Ken: Sorry for me? You think I need sympathy from a - where you going?

    Valerie: I want dessert.

    Ken: Well you can't go up there by yourself.

    Valerie: Why?

    Ken: Why? Because your parents are in there. Your parents are in there and you're high.

    Valerie: It will not be the first time.

    Ken: Wait, I'll go with you.

    Ken: You know, I meant what I said before about you being sweet.
