"'I said, "You're beautiful..."'" "God, come on, Veronica." "What is your damage, Heather?" "Don't blame me, blame Heather." "She told me to haul your ass into the caff pronto." "Back me up, Heather." "She really wants to talk to you, Veronica." "OK, I'm going." "Jesus Christ." "Hello, Heather." "Veronica." "Finally." "I got a note of Kurt Kelly's." "I need you to forge a hot and horny but realistic note in Kurt's handwriting." "We'll slip it onto Martha Dumptruck's lunch tray." "I don't have anything against Martha Dunnstock." "You don't have anything for her." "Come on." "It'll be very." "The note will give her shower nozzle masturbation material for weeks." "I'll think about it." "Don't think." "Veronica needs something to write on." "Bend over." "Dear Martha, you're so sweet..." "I'm telling you, man, it'd so be righteous to be in a Veronica Sawyer - Heather Chandler sandwich." "Hell, yes." "I want to put a Heather on my johnson and spin her around like a pinwheel." "Punch it in." "Westerburg feeds the world." "Come on, people." "Give that leftover lunch money to people who don't have lunches." "God, aren't they fed yet?" "Do they even have thanksgiving in Africa?" "Oh, sure." "Pilgrims, Indians, Tater Tots." "It's a real party continent." "Sawyer, guess what today is." "Ouch." "Lunch-time poll?" "What's the question?" "Yeah, what's the question, Heather?" "God, you were with me in study hall when I thought of it." "I forgot." "Such a pillowcase." "It's not that bizarro thing you were babbling about over the phone last night, is it?" "Of course it is." "I told Dennis if he gives me another political topic, I'd spew burrito chunks." "Oh, Veronica, I'm sorry." "Betty Finn." "Gosh." "I'm sorry I couldn't go to your birthday party last month." "It's OK." "Your mom said you had a big date." "I'd probably miss my own birthday for a date." "Don't say that." "I was looking around the other day and I dug up these old photographs." "Oh." "They're great." "Come on, Veronica." "I was talking to somebody." "(Slurps)" "Great." "Here comes Heather." "Oh, shit." " Hi, Courtney." "Love your cardigan." " Thanks." "I got it last night at The Limited." "Like, totally blew my allowance." "Check this out." "You win $5 million from the Publisher Sweepstakes and the same day the guy gives you the cheque, aliens land on the earth and say they'll blow up the world in two days." "What do you do?" "That's easy." "I'd just slide that wad over to my father because he's one of the state's top brokers." "If I got that money, I'd give it all to the homeless." "Every cent." "You're beautiful." "If you're going to openly be a bitch..." "Why can't we talk to kinds of different people?" "Fuck me gently with a chainsaw." "Do I look like Mother Teresa?" "If I did, I probably wouldn't mind talking to the geek squad." "Did see that?" "Heather number one just looked right at me." "Does it not bother you that everybody thinks you're a piranha?" "Like I give a shit." "They all want me as a friend or a fuck." "I'm worshiped at Westerburg and I'm only a junior." "I can't believe this, we're going to a party at Remington University tonight and we're brushing up on our conversational skills with the scum of the school." "Hi." "Hi." "So this is what's called a lunch-time poll." "You win $5 million in the Publisher Sweepstakes and the same day whatshisface gives you the cheque aliens land on earth and say they'll blow up the world in two days." "What are you going to do with the money?" "I'd go to Egypt." "With a girl." "I'd use the money for an end-of-the-world get-together." "I'd pay Madonna a million bucks to sit on my face and ride like the Kentucky Derby." "That's the most spooky-assed question I ever heard." "After taxes, I'll only be getting..." "She should pay me, though." "You go to the zoo and get a lion and put a remote control bomb up its butt..." "Then there's social security, legal fees..." "Push the button on the bomb and you and the lion die like one." "What?" "Oh, my God." "Here we go." "Oh, my God." "(Hysterical laughter)" "Hi, Veronica." "Five keeps an infant alive." "You wanted to be a member of the most powerful clique in school." "If I wasn't already the head of it, I'd want the same thing." "Come on, Veronica." "You used to have a sense of humour." "Veronica, could you come back here a minute?" "A true friend's work is never done." " Gross." " Gross." "Grow up, Heather." "Bulimia is so '87." " Maybe you should see a doctor." " Yeah, maybe." "Come on, Heather, let's take another look at today's lunch." "God, Veronica, drool much?" "His name's Jason Dean." "He's in my American History." "Hello, Jason Dean." "Greetings and salutations." "Are you a Heather?" "No." "I'm a Veronica." "Sawyer." "This may seem like a really stupid question..." "There are no stupid questions." "You inherit $5 million." "The same day aliens land on the earth and say they're going to blow it up in two days." "What do you do?" "That's the stupidest question I've ever heard." "Who's that guy in the coat think he is anyways?" "Bo Diddley?" "Veronica's into his act, no doubt." "I don't know." "Probably row out to the middle of a lake, bring along a bottle of tequila, my sax and some Bach." "How very." "Come on, Veronica." "Later." "Definitely." "Let's kick his ass." "Shit, Ram, we're seniors, man." "We're too old for kind of that kind of crap." "Let's give him a good scare, though." "You going to eat this?" "What did your boyfriend say when you told him you were moving to Sherwood, Ohio?" "Answer him, dick." "Hey, Ram, doesn't this cafeteria have a "no fags allowed" rule?" "They seem to have an open-door policy for assholes, though, don't they?" "What did you say, dickhead?" "I'll repeat myself." "They won't expel him, they'll just suspend him for a week or something." "He used a real gun." "They should throw his ass in jail." "(Veronica) No way." "He used blanks." "All JD really did was ruin two pairs of pants." "Maybe not even that." "Can you bleach out urine stains?" "You seem pretty amused." "I thought you had given up on high school guys." "Never say never." "What are you going to do, Heather?" "Take the two shots or send me out?" "Did you have a brain tumour for breakfast?" "First you ask if you can be red, knowing that I'm always red." "Shit." "It's your turn, Heather." "Easy shot, Heather." "No way, no day." "Give it up, girl." " Holy shit." " Incredible!" "Whoo!" "So tonight's the night." "Are you two excited?" "I'm giving Veronica her shot, her first Remington party." "You blow it tonight, girl, and it's keggers with kids all next year." "Why?" "Why not?" "Heather, your mother's here." "Come on, whoever wants a ride." " Bye." "Thank you." " Bye-bye, girls." "Hey, take a break, Veronica." "Sit down." "So what was the first week of spring vacation withdrawal like?" "I don't know." "It was OK, I guess." "Hey, kid, isn't the prom coming up?" "I guess." "Any contestants worth mentioning?" "Maybe." "There's kind of a dark horse in the running." "God, will somebody tell me why I read these spy novels?" "Because you're an idiot." "Oh, yeah, that's it." "You two..." "Great pâté, but I gotta motor if I want to be ready for that party tonight." "Corn nuts!" "BQ or plain?" "BQ!" "You're going to pull a super-chug with that?" "No, but if you're nice, I'll let you buy me a slushie." "I see you know your convenience-speak pretty well." "Yeah, well, I've been moved around all my life." "Dallas, Baton Rouge, Vegas..." "Sherwood, Ohio." "There's always been a Snappy Snack Shack." "Any town, any time, pop a ham and cheese in the microwave and feast on a turbo-dog." "Keeps me sane." "Really?" "That thing you pulled in the caff today was pretty severe." "Yeah, well, the extreme always seems to make an impression." "Did you say a cherry or Coke slushie?" "I didn't." "Cherry." "Great bike." "Yeah." "Just a humble perk from my dad's construction company." "Seen the commercial, right?" ""Bringing every state to a higher state."" "Wait a minute." "Jason Dean." "Your pop's Big Bud Dean Construction?" "It must be rough moving place to place." "Everybody's life has got static." "Is your life perfect?" "Yeah." "I'm going to a Remington University party." " Hmm." " (Horn honks)" "No, my life's not perfect." "I don't really like my friends." "Yeah, uh, I don't really like your friends, either." "Well, it's just like they're people I work with and our job is being popular and shit." "Maybe it's time to take a vacation." "Hello, ladies." "Throw your coats on the floor." "Veronica, this is Brad." "Excellent." "(Brad) Did you girls bring your partying slippers?" " Let's party." " She loves to party." "'Dear diary, I want to kill, 'and it's for more than just selfish reasons." "'More than a spoke in my menstrual cycle." "'You have to believe me.'" "It's so great to talk to a girl and not have to ask "what's your major?"" "I hate that." "So, when you go to college, what subjects do you think you'll study?" "Come on, David." "Shouldn't we get back to the party?" "We will." "It's just you're so hot tonight." "I can't control myself." "'I can't explain it but I'm allowed an understanding 'that my parents and these Remington assholes have chosen to ignore." "'I understand that I must stop Heather.'" "How's my little cheerleader, huh?" "Oh, I know everyone at your high school isn't so uptight." " Come on." " I don't feel so good, OK?" "Let's do it on the coats." "It'll be excellent, huh?" "I have a prepared speech I tell my suitor when he wants more than I'd like to give him." "Gee, blank, I had a really nice..." "Save the speeches for Malcolm X." "I just want to get laid." "You don't deserve my fucking speech." "'Betty Finn was a true friend and I sold her out 'for a bunch of Swatchdogs and Diet Cokeheads." "'Killing Heather would be like offing the Wicked Witch of the West." "'Wait, East." "West!" "I sound like a fucking psycho.'" "What's your damage?" "Brad says you're being a cooze." "I feel really sick, like I'm gonna throw up." "Can we please jam now?" "No." "Hell, no." "(Retching)" "'Tomorrow I'll be kissing her aerobicised ass 'but tonight let me dream of a world without Heather, 'a world where I am free.'" "You stupid fuck." "You goddamn bitch." "You were nothing before you met me." "You were playing Barbies with Betty Finn." "You were a Bluebird, you were a Brownie, you were a Girl Scout Cookie." "I got you into a Remington party." "What's my thanks?" "It's on the hallway carpet." "I got paid in puke." "Lick it up, baby." "Lick it up." "Monday morning you're history." "I'll tell everyone about tonight." "Transfer to Washington, transfer to Jefferson, no one at Westerburg's gonna let you play their reindeer games." "Dreadful etiquette." "I apologise." "That's OK." "I saw the croquet set up in the back." "You up for a match?" "Mmm!" "I thank you." "That was my first game of strip croquet." "You're welcome." "It's a lot more interesting than just flinging off your clothes and boning away on a neighbour's swing set." "There's lots to be said for throwing off..." "Ow!" "What a night." "What a life." "They wanted to move me into high school out of the sixth grade because I was supposed to be this big genius." "Then we decided to chuck the idea because I'd have trouble making friends, blah, blah, blah." "Now blah, blah, blah is all I do." "I use my grand IQ to decide what colour gloss to wear and how to hit three keggers before curfew." "Heather Chandler is one bitch that deserves to die." "Killing her won't solve anything." "I say we just grow up, be adults and die." "But before that..." "I'd love to see Heather Chandler puke her guts out." "Trust me, she skips the Saturday morning trip to grandma's even when she's not hung over." "We'll just concoct ourselves a little hangover cure that'll induce her to spew red, white and blue, then." "What about milk and orange juice?" "What's the up-chuck factor on that?" "I'm a no-rust-build-up man, myself." "Don't be a dick." "That stuff will kill her." "I know, we can cook up some soup and put it in a Coke." "That's pretty sick, eh?" "Should it be chicken noodle or bean with bacon?" "Put a lid on that stuff." "I say we go with big blue here." "What are you talking about?" "She would never drink anything that looked like that, anyway." "So we'll... put it in this." "She won't be able to see what she's drinking." "Let me get a cup, jerk." "OK." "(Veronica) Milk and orange juice." "Hmm." "Maybe we could, like, cough up a phlegm globber in it or something." " No?" " Nothing." "Oh, well." "Milk and orange juice will do quite nicely." "You're chicken." "You're not funny." "I'm sorry." " Uh, Veronica?" " What?" "Uh, never mind." "I'll, er, carry the cup." "(Veronica) Morning, Heather." "Veronica... and Jesse James." "Quelle surprise." "Hear about Veronica's affection for regurgitation?" "Last night we both said things we didn't mean." "Did we?" "How did you get in?" "Um..." "Veronica knew you'd have a hangover so, uh, I whipped this up for you." "It's a family recipe." "What, you put a phlegm globber in it?" "I'm not going to drink that piss." "I knew this stuff'd be too intense for her." "Intense." "Grow up." "You think I'll drink it just because you call me chicken?" "Just give me the cup, jerk." "Corn nuts." "Oh, my God." "I can't believe it." "I just killed my best friend." "And your worst enemy." "Same difference." "Ohh..." "What are we going to tell the cops?" ""Fuck it if she can't take a joke, Sarge."" "Cops." "I can't believe this is my life." "Oh, my God." "I'm going to have to send my SAT scores to San Quentin instead of Stanford." "All right, just a little freaked, here." "At least you got what you wanted." "Got what I wanted?" "It's one thing to want somebody out of your life, it's another thing to serve them a wake-up cup full of liquid drainer." "All right, we did a murder and that's a crime, but if this were like a suicide thing, you know?" "Like a suicide thing?" "Yeah, yeah." "You can do Heather's handwriting as well as your own, right?" "Right?" " Yeah." " All right." "You might think what I've done is shocking?" "Yeah." "Um... to me, though, suicide is the natural answer to the myriad of problems life has given me." "That's good but Heather would never use the word myriad." "This is the last thing she'll ever write, she'll want to use as many 50-cent words as possible." "She missed myriad on the vocab test two weeks ago." "That only proves my point more." "The word is a badge for her failures at school." "Oh." "OK, you're probably right." "People think just because you're beautiful and popular, life is easy and fun." " Yeah." " Uh... no one understood I had feelings too." "I die knowing no one knew the real me." "That's good." "Have you done this before?" "Any other principal would take the same position - keep things business as usual." "Heather Chandler's not your everyday suicide." " She was very popular." " If I let these kids out before lunch, the switchboard would light up like a Christmas tree." "I was impressed that she made proper use of the word myriad in her suicide note." "I find it profoundly disturbing that we're told of the tragic destruction of youth and all we can think to talk about is adequate mourning times and misused vocabulary words." "Oh, Christ!" "We must revel in this revealing moment." "Look, I suggest that we get everybody together, both students and teachers, in the cafeteria and just talk and feel... together." "Thank you, Ms Fleming." "You call me when the shuttle lands." "Now, is this Heather the cheerleader?" "(Man) That would be Heather McNamara." "Damn." "I'd be willing to go half a day for a cheerleader." "God, it's unfair." "It's just so unfair." "We should get off a whole week, not just an hour." "Write the school board." "Watch it, you might be digesting food." " Yeah, where is your urge to purge?" " Fuck it." "Look..." "Heather left behind one of her Swatches." "She'd want you to have it, Veronica." "She always said you couldn't accessorise for shit." "Sorry to hear about your friend." "I thought she was your usual airhead bitch." "Guess I was wrong." "We all were." "(Heather) What a waste." "Oh, the humanity." "Veronica?" "Veronica, what are you doing?" "I'm just so thrilled..." "to finally have an example of the profound sensitivity of which a human animal is capable." "That example is Heather Chandler." "I have her note." "(all) Whoo!" "I'm gonna pass this note around the class so you can all feel its pathetic beauty for yourself." "And while we do this," "I think it's a good opportunity to share... the feelings that this suicide has spurred in all of us." "Now, who would like to begin?" "I heard it was really gnarly." "She sucked down a bowl of multi-purpose deodorising disinfectant and then smash!" "Tracy, let's not rehash the coroner's report, let's talk emotions." "Um, Heather and I used to go out but she said I was boring." "But now I realise I really wasn't boring... it's just that she was dissatisfied with her life." "That's... very good, Peter." "(Laughing)" "(Pretends to sob)" "Are we going to be tested on this?" "'We were the same size 'so we could borrow each other's clothes, mix it up." "It was fun.'" ""I remember I won her a rhino at the 4-H Club... '" "You're an asshole." "Mute him." " 'We liked the same clothes... '" " How many networks did you run to?" "'It won't be the same without her.'" "What are you talking about?" "You hated her." "She hated you." "'Every English class I looked forward to seeing her... '" "Heather Chandler is more popular than ever now." " Scary stuff." " Yeah." "Hey, son, I didn't hear you come in." "Hey, Dad, how was work today?" "It was miserable." "Some damn tribe of withered old bitches doesn't want us to terminate that fleabag hotel." "All because Glen Miller and his band once took a shit there." "Just like Kansas." "You remember fucking Kansas?" "That was the one with the wheat, right?" "Yeah." "Save the Memorial Oak Tree Society." "(Chuckles) Showed those fucks." "30 of those 4th of July fireworks attached to the trunk." "Arraigned but acquitted." "Gosh, Pop, I almost forgot to introduce my girlfriend." "Oh." "Veronica, this is my dad." "Dad, Veronica." "Hi." "Son, why don't you ask your little friend to stay for dinner?" "I can't." "My mom's making my favourite meal tonight - spaghetti, lots of oregano." "How nice." "The last time I saw my mom she was waving from a library window in Texas." "Right, Dad?" "Right... son." "Right." "Take a break, Veronica." "Sit down." "So what was the first day after Heather's suicide like?" "Well, it was OK, I guess." "(Mom) Terrible thing." "So, will we get to meet this dark horse prom contender?" "Maybe." "God, will somebody tell me why I smoke these things?" "Because you're an idiot." "Oh, yeah." "That's it." "You two..." "Great pâté but I have to motor if want to be ready for that funeral." "I blame not Heather but rather a society that tells its youth that the answers can be found in the MTV video games." "We must pray that the other teenagers of Sherwood, Ohio, know the name of that righteous dude who can solve their problems." "It's Jesus Christ and he's in the book." "(all) Amen." "'O God, this is a tragic thing 'and sometimes I have a hard time dealing with it." "'Please send Heather to heaven.'" "'Dear God, please make sure this never happens to me," "'I don't think I can handle suicide." "'Early acceptance into an Ivy League school and please let it be Harvard." "Amen.'" "'Jesus God in heaven, why did you kill such hot snatch?" "'It's a joke, man." "Jeez, people are so serious." "'Hail Mary, who aren't in heaven, 'pray for all us sinners so we don't get caught." "'Another joke, man.'" "'I prayed for the death of Heather Chandler many times." "'I felt bad every time I did it but I kept doing it." "'Now I know you understood everything." "'Praise Jesus." "Hallelujah.'" "'Hi." "I'm sorry." "'Technically, I did not kill Heather Chandler, but, hey, who am I trying to kid, right?" "'I just want my high school to be a nice place." "'Amen." "'Did that sound bitchy?" "'" "Veronica, what are you doing tonight?" "I don't know." "Mourning." "Maybe watch some TV." "Why?" "Well, Ram asked me out tonight... but he wants to double with Kurt... and Kurt doesn't have a date." "Heather, I have something going with JD." "Please, Veronica." "Put Billy the Kid on hold tonight." "I'll be your best friend." "So we on tonight, man, or what?" "I don't know." "I still got to talk to Heather, dude." "Weird funeral, huh?" "That pudwapper just stepped on my foot." " Let's kick his ass." " Cool off." " We're seniors." " Goddamn geek!" "Ah, well." "Sit and spin." "That little prick." "You piece of shit fag." "You like to suck big dicks?" " Cut it out." " Say, "I like to suck big dicks."" "Leave him alone, Ram." "(Kid) Ow!" "Say it." "Say it!" "OK, OK." "You like to suck big dicks." "Ow!" "I like to suck big dicks." "Mmm..." "Mmm." "I can't get enough of 'em." "Are you satisfied?" "Don't worry." "Ram's been so sweet lately, consoling me and stuff." "It'll be really very." "Promise." "OK." "Just as long as it won't be one of those nights where they get shitfaced and take us to a pasture to tip cows." "(Mooing)" "(Giggling)" " Is it sleeping, dude?" " I think so, man." " (Laughter)" " Shh!" "Come here." "Oh, shit." "Cow tipping is the fucking greatest!" "Punch it in." "Shit." "On the count of three, guy." "(Both) One... two... three!" "When I get that feeling, I need sexual healing." "Yeah, right, asshole." "What is this shit?" "Doing a favour for Heather." "Double date." "I tried to tell you at the funeral but you rode off." "Another fucking Heather." "I'm sorry." "I'm feeling a little superior tonight." "Seven schools in seven states and the only thing different is my locker combination." "Our love is god." "Let's go get a slushie." "I'm not belittling the foodless fund, Peter, but we're talking teen suicide here." "The number one song in America today is Teenage Suicide Don't Do It by Big Fun." "Westerburg finally got one of these things and I'm not gonna blow it." "So Heather gets the front page and I get crammed in by the Taco Bell coupon." "Hi, guys, I came to check up on this week's lunch-time poll topic." "Don't worry about it, Veronica." "Sit down, huh?" "That funeral yesterday must have really been rough, huh?" "Oh, yeah." "We were wondering if you had any poems, artwork that Heather did that we can put in the Heather Chandler yearbook spread?" "The what?" "Look, it's a two-page layout with her suicide note right up here in the corner." "It's more tasteful than it sounds." "I don't know, Dennis, this stuff leaves a bad taste in my mouth." "Like last night, Veronica?" "Excuse me?" "I don't get it." "You did last night." "Kurt told us of your little date." "Yeah, and?" "I left him drunk and flailing in cow shit." "Well, I don't know." "He was really detailed." " Shh." " Shut up, Courtney." "No, don't shut up." "I'd like to know exactly what I did." "Come on, Veronica." "I'll show you the lunch-time poll topic." "What the fuck?" "I rarely listen to Neanderthals like Kurt Kelly but he said that he and Ram had a nice little sword fight in your mouth last night." "Ew!" "That son of a bitch." "Hi, Kurt?" "Hi, this is Veronica Sawyer." "I didn't expect to be calling, either." "I guess my emotions took over." "I was wondering if you wanted those things you've been saying to really happen." "It's always been a fantasy of mine to have two guys at once." "Oh, sure, you can write to Penthouse forum." "(Snickering)" "Yeah, in the woods behind the school." "At dawn." "Don't forget Ram." "Why am I writing a suicide note when we're just going to be shooting them with blanks?" "We're not gonna be using blanks this time." "You can't be serious." "I am." "Listen, my Bonnie and Clyde days are over." "Wait a second, wait a second." "Do you take German?" "French." "All right." "These are echt Luger bullets." "My grandfather snared a shitload of them back in WWII." "They're like tranquillisers, only they break the skin's surface enough to cause blood but no real damage." "So it looks like the person's been shot and killed and really they're just unconscious and bleeding?" "Oh." "Right." "See, we shoot Kurt and Ram, make it look like they shot each other and by the time they regain consciousness, they'll be the laughing stock of the school." "The note's the punch line." "How'd that turn out?" "First tell me the similarity is not incredible." "It's incredible similarity." "OK." "Ahem." ""Ram and I died the day we realised" ""we could never reveal our forbidden love to an uncaring and un-understanding world." ""The joy we shared in each other's arms was greater than any touchdown," ""yet we were forced to live the lie" ""of sexist, beer-guzzling, jock assholes."" "That's perfect." "Let's take a look at some of the homosexual artefacts" "I dug up to plant at the scene." "All right." "An issue of Stud Puppy." "That's great!" "A candy dish, a Joan Crawford postcard." "Good." "Some mascara." "All right, now, here's the one perfecto thing I picked up - mineral water." "Come on, a lot of people drink mineral water." "It's come a long way." "Yeah, but this is Ohio." "If you don't have a brewski in your hand, you might as well be wearing a dress." "Oh, you're so smart." "Hi, Veronica." "Hi, guys." "Glad you could make it." "So should I just whip it out or..." "Well, I've made a circle on each side of the clearing." "Ram, you come over here." "Kurt." "When you get to the circle, strip." "What about you?" "I was hoping you could rip my clothes off me, sport." "Oh." "Good idea." "OK." "Count of three, guys." "One... two..." " Three!" " (Gunshot)" "(Screams)" "You missed him completely?" "It was worth it just to see the look..." "Don't move." "I'll get him back." "Ha!" " No." " Now!" " Hey, I heard it that time." " What?" "Another gunshot from the woods." "Oh, shit." "Let's roll!"

"Hey, that's Kurt Kelly." "Yeah, and the linebacker, Ram Sweeney." "Phew." "My God, suicide." "Why?" "Does this answer your question?" "Oh, man." "They were fags." "Listen up. "We realised we could never reveal our forbidden love" ""to an uncaring and un-understanding world."" "Jesus H Christ!" "The quarterback buggering the linebacker." "What a waste." "Oh, the humanity." "So we killed them, didn't we?" "Yeah." "Of course." "Echt Luger bullets." "I'm such an idiot." "Look, you believed it because you wanted to believe it." "Your true feelings were too gross and icky for you to face." "I did not want them dead." " You did too." " I did not." "Did too." " I did not." " Did too." " Did not." " Did too." " Did not!"

"Heather Duke underlined a lot of things in this copy of Moby Dick but I believe the word Eskimo, underlined all by itself, is the key to understanding Heather's pain."
