Patrick and Catherine came to the dance. All couples dance a slow dance.
— I'd hardly call this dancing. These kids are just dry-humping to music.
— In that case, care to dance?

Catherine comes into her room after a shower with a basket of laundry in her hands, and Patrick is lying on her bed.
— Hi.
Catherine drops the basket in fright.
— Oh my God, you scared the bejesus out of me.
Patrick gets out of bed and walks over to Catherine.
— I missed you.
— What are you... What are you doing here?
— Aren't you going to say hello?
Patrick pulls Catherine to him and kisses her.
— Hello. You've got to go now. If my dad finds you here, he'll send me to convent, and I have a real problem with organized religion.

— Why are people scared of you?
— Why are people scared of you?
— People are not scared of me.
— Sure they are. That's why I find you interesting.

— You're obsessed with me.
— Mmm..
— ... Seriously, it's okay if you're obsessed with me. Just admit it.

— Now I can tell you what I wanted to tell you.
— ... Let me guess. Is it the same thing you wanted to tell the girl downstairs?
— Oh, I like it when you're jealous.
— I'm not jealous. I'm appalled. There's a difference.
— Look, I was going to tell her she should stop stalking me.
— Mm, big words from the guy who shows up unannounced in my bedroom window at eleven o'clock at night. That's way past visiting hours.
— You talk a lot.

[Bianca is in the hallway of the school begging Catherine to go to the Fall Fling. But Catherine refuses because she has no one to go with. Suddenly Bianca notices Patrick and runs to him.]
— Patrick? Please take my sister to Fall Fling!
— Excuse her. She was dropped on her head as an infant. Now she has these episodes...
[Catherine pulls Bianca away from Patrick, but she breaks free and runs up to him again.]
— Look, deep, deep down beneath my sister's crusty exoskeleton, she has a soft spot for you.
— I'm going to kill you in your sleep.
— ... My father is a freak who won't let me date until she does, so will you please take her to the dance? You can consider it a charitable contribution to the Free Bianca Stratford Foundation.
[Catherine turns her back on Bianca and Patrick, about to leave.]
— Okay, I'll do it. I'll take her to that dance... I'd like to see how you look in a dress. I'll pick you up at seven.
[Patrick leaves.]
— We both have dates to the dance!
— Sleep with one eye open.

— ... I didn't bail on you. I got arrested.
— Oh, and here I thought you were just a jerk. Turns out you're also a criminal!
— I didn't even do anything. The charges were dropped. So let it go.
— Don't.
— Then what do you want from me?
— Nothing. I've seen red flags from you ever since I met you. In fact, you look like Communist China!
— What the hell am I doing here? It's like talking to a brick wall. You make up your mind, and that's that!
— Don't turn this around on me. I didn't do anything wrong.
— Oh, of course not. You're perfect.
— I am not.
— Have fun up here in your perfect world all by your perfect self.
