Sheba Hart : [touches Steven's cheek] It's incredibly important we keep this secret. Does anyone know you're here?
Steven Connolly : No.
[pause, Sheba sits down with him]
Steven Connolly : Miss. I'm no genius, but I ain't a dickhead. I won't tell no one. You can trust me.
Sheba Hart : We'd both get into terrible trouble.
[they kiss and start to make love]

Steven Connolly : [throws cigarette] They're going to expel me now!
Sheba Hart : No, they won't. I'll get the blame if she tells.
Steven Connolly : As if she won't!
Sheba Hart : She - likes me, she might not.
Steven Connolly : She likes you, huh? Like that? You givin' her one and all?
Sheba Hart : Why are you being so cruel? Why, Steven?
Steven Connolly : I really like you. You're a nice person, and you've been cool, and it's been great, okay? But it's supposed to be fun. Now it's a serious thing. Whatever shit you're working out, you know, with your husband, your kid, you - I don't know. I can't help you.

Barbara Covett : Why were you fighting? Perfectly simple question.
Steven Connolly : [mumbles] Dunno, miss.
Barbara Covett : You don't know. One minute you're an inert lump, the next you're trying to castrate a fellow pupil. Nothing occurred between these two states?
