Quotes
-
Brooke McQueen : [on stairs, coming down] Josh. Hey, stranger. Uhm, can I talk to you for a minute?
Josh Ford : Yeah.
[bell rings]
Josh Ford : Sure. What's up?
Brooke McQueen : Look, I know... it's been kinda tough for us to get back on track since I've decided to stay. But I... I really thought you were gonna come to the movies with us on Saturday night.
Josh Ford : Oh, sorry, I was, uh, studying.
Brooke McQueen : We saw you... delivering a pizza on Third, Josh. Why didn't you tell me that you're working?
Josh Ford : I don't know. I...
[scoffs]
Josh Ford : I guess I was embarrassed. Quarterback by day, slice pusher by night. Sort of seems like a big slide, you know?
Brooke McQueen : Are you and your Mom having problems?
[as he hesitates:]
Brooke McQueen : So what's going on?
Josh Ford : [scoffs] I'm worried, Brooke. About money, about grades, about how I'm gonna help my Mom find a job, about how I'm gonna tell Coach I have to miss practice. I feel like I'm drowning. And I missed you, Brooke. I mean, you pulled away. I lost the only person I could ever really talk to.
Brooke McQueen : Are you working at Guido's again on Saturday night?
[he nods]
Brooke McQueen : Cool. Consider me there, riding shotgun.
Josh Ford : What, you wanna go delivering pizzas with me?
Brooke McQueen : [smiles] Yes.
Josh Ford : [chuckles] Isn't slumming like that sort of taboo for a Homecoming Queen?
Brooke McQueen : If I'm with you, then I don't care.
