Nick Powell:
[
whispering to Annie] You are so broken.
Annie Newton:
Nick, I wanted to do one good thing.
Nick Powell:
You did, Annie. You did. You saved me. You saved me.
Nick Powell:
I know this sounds weird, but you're the only one who can save me. How messed up is that?
Nick Powell:
[
after failing to commit suicide with a rifile] Shit!
Nick Powell:
I'm alive... Holy shit, I'm alive.
Nick Powell:
Should you be out here alone? Where are your parents?
Victor Newton:
They don't know I'm here. My sister was supposed to bring me.
Nick Powell:
But she didn't.
Victor Newton:
She died.
Nick Powell:
Do you think we should send her a message?
Victor Newton:
How? What should we say?
Nick Powell:
It's your message
Victor Newton:
Hey Annie.
Nick Powell:
Annie. I need you, Annie.
Principal Whitcliff:
Anybody wanna explain what happened?
Nick Powell:
She finds me irresistible?
Annie Newton:
Who's the broken one now?
Nick Powell:
You are. Still you.
Annie Newton:
What did you say?
Nick Powell:
Still you.
Annie Newton:
Did he eat at all tonight?
Lindy Newton:
[
sighing, annoyed] Victor, you hungry?
Victor Newton:
No.
[
Lindy shoots Annie a look, Annie lunges at her]
Annie Newton:
You get off your bony ass and make him dinner!
Police Officer:
Ma'am, I'm gonna have to ask you to step out of the car.
Annie Newton:
I'm sorry, I can't. I've got to be somewhere.
Nick Powell:
Mom, I'm dead.
Nick Powell:
[
to his girlfriend] Do you wanna go to London?
Nick Powell:
Pete! This isn't the way out! If you die, I die! God, Pete, you're my last hope!
Annie Newton:
You don't have to look for me anymore.
Nick Powell:
ANNIE!
[
Annie turns and finds the hall behind her empty]
Nick Powell:
She heard me. You heard me!
Pete:
Nick didn't do it.
Annie Newton:
You're lying.
Pete:
Don't believe me. He didn't do it. I lied to save my own ass. He was supposed to be on a plane. You killed Nick for nothing.
Nick Powell:
I saw your face last night, Annie, and for a minute there I bet you would've traded places with me.
Annie Newton:
If anything happens to Victor I'll come back here and I'll kill you.
Nick Powell:
They're gonna catch you, Annie!
Annie Newton:
Never! Never...
Nick Powell:
She heard me.
Nick Powell:
I'm sick of your perfect life because it isn't perfect!
Nick Powell:
Oh that's right, you can't hear me, Annie!
Nick Powell:
Your mom dies and your dad marries somebody else, and that makes it okay?
Annie Newton:
I'm so sorry.
Nick Powell:
You know what's funny about this whole thing? You're the only one that can save me. Isn't that messed up?
Nick Powell:
[
reading poem for class] Day burns down to night, Burns the edge of my soul. In the night I break into sparks of suns And become fires in a dust of bones Night knifes My breath swallows whole my tongue Turn back Reverse return In the night I see the real Concealed in the day's bright lie Eyes stitched shut White teeth smile Sleep walks and talks And feet mark time of day

first lines]
Diane Powell:
It wasn't easy when Nick's father died, raising a teenager alone. But with a boy like Nick, well, he is now everything a mother could want. We've been through some hard times. We've carried each other. Now I look to the future, and I know there's nothing that we can't do together.
Nick Powell:
Do you remember when my dad died? The first thing that she said to me was, don't worry about it Nick, this won't change a thing for you. Ya know I'm like 13 right, all I wanna do is cry, and she's thinking about my future? She's always had it mapped out. Ya know I stay here, I might as well retire and die. I mean my dad didn't even get to retire, he was 46 when he got sick. I'm not gonna let her do that to me.
Nick Powell:
[
observing his mother] Don't worry about it mom. This won't change a thing for you. Got everything under control, right? You've always had your fingers in everything, ya know. Fingering through this house. Me. My room.
Nick Powell:
[
breaking into a rage] Don't! Don't feel a thing mom! Ya don't want to ruin your face. Your pretty face. I'm out there in the mud. I am dying mom. And you're sitting here with your briefs, and your herbal tea, and your books. I wish you could see me right now mom. So you know how sick I am of you. I am sick of you, and your perfect world. I am sick of you cause it's not perfect. You hear me?
Annie Newton:
Nick was innocent. I hurt him for nothing.
Annie Newton:
[
Talking to her little brother] Come here little man. Do you know what I want more than anything? Don't be like me... I ruin everything I touch.
