Todd : [sitting down at the piano] :... I wanna play something for you. It's not finished yet, but... I don't know, I just kinda want you to...
Andrea : [thinking] ... get naked?
Todd : ...hear it anyway.
[Todd starts singing 4 lines of a sad song]
Andrea : [thinking] He sang with passion, he sang with pain...
[Todd finished singing]
Andrea : [thinking] ... he sang for about 20 seconds!
-
Andrea : [voice over] And then, God created man. And I wanted to thank her right then and there for the snake, the apple, and the free will to mess up the entire world.
-
Andrea : [thinking] I was such a bitch! I can't believe I did that... to my friend! I felt so guilty, I felt so bad!... I felt like trying to find Todd!
[walking away from school]
Andrea : [thinking] Ok, so what if it was a one-night stand! Couldn't we still be friends? And if we were friends... couldn't we maybe have sex again?
-
Andrea Marr : [writing a letter] Dear Mr. Sparrow. Thank you for having sex with me.
-
Rebecca Fernhurst : [Stares at Andrea silently] You had sex didn't you? Well talk to me you big slut, how was it?
Andrea Marr : Disappointing. I wish I'd saved it.
Rebecca Fernhurst : Oh, no way. You gotta get that first one over with. That way when it really counts, you're not sitting there the whole time going, "I'm not a virgin anymore, I'm not a virgin anymore." Think of it as a warm-up.
-
Andrea : What I didn't understand was why was this boy a part of me? What did he have that I wanted? What did he have that I needed? And why was I incomplete without him?
-
Andrea : [In shower, shampooing her hair, reflecting on being accepted by the college of her choice, in her mind's voice:] Brown. Me. Wow! It wasn't possible! Did I deserve it? I mean, twenty minutes ago some guy was masturbating over me.
[hair wet, eyes scrunched up, looking out the cubicle, aloud now:]
Andrea : Mom! I need more soap!
-
Cybil : [as Andrea is lost to the world, dreaming about her crush Todd] I'm your friend, right?
Andrea : [nods dreamily] Mm.
Cybil : [scoffs] Oh man, you are over.
Andrea : [laughs] Stick a fork in me.
Cybil : Yeah, what do you think about his music?
Andrea : [passionate] Completely spiritual...!
Cybil : Congratulations. You discovered life beyond MTV.
Andrea : [smile fades, dismay] I think I'm going to be sick.
[rushing off]
Cybil : [quietly re-directing Andrea who is headed wrong way] That way.
Andrea : [turns about desperately, finds her way to the bathroom, but dismayed to find the object of her affection there, then, in her mind's voice:] God help me.
[fervently tries going back through the door she just slammed shut behind her, but is now locked, then, giving up, turns around goofily, trying hard to regain her composure and look cool, resulting in a very vulnerable look]
Andrea : Hi! Ahm, I was just looking for the bathroom.
[in her mind's voice:]
Andrea : This was not the visual I wanted for a first impression.
Todd : [regarding her, and flanked by coolly smoking vaguely-amused Cara on his left, and bandmate Luke and his girlfriend on the right] What's your name?
Andrea : [in her mind's voice:] Don't panic. Don't panic.
[trying best to be steady]
Andrea : Andrea. My name's Andrea.
[smiling]
Todd : It's all right, Andrea. Everything is all right.
[she looks at him full of self-doubt]
Todd : I'm Todd.
Andrea : Hi.
[smiles]
Todd : This is Carla...
[indicating the smoking blonde girl who is giving Andrea a bemused look]
Todd : ... and this is Luke...
[failing to find the girlfriend's name]
Todd : well, that's Luke.
Luke : What's up?
Andrea : [waving at him gingerly] Hi, I'm Andrea.
Todd : So, Andrea, do you want to go to a party with us?
Andrea : [in her mind's voice:] I would be unavailable right now, shrouded in mystery. He would always wonder what happened to that girl who had to go to the bathroom.
[but, speaking out, eagerly:]
Andrea : Absolutely!
Todd : Good. Have you got a car?
-
Kevin : [calling out] Hey, Andrea!
Andrea : [in her mind's voice:] Oh no!
[out loud, sweetly nice:]
Andrea : Hey Kevin.
[smiling, ambling over to him]
Andrea : Hey!
Kevin : Why don't you return my calls?
Andrea : Oh, I didn't know. When did you call?
Kevin : I've called every day.
Andrea : [in her mind's voice:] Every day! Talk about desperate.
[out loud:]
Andrea : I didn't get any messages.
Kevin : Parents. I know what that's like.
Andrea : Yeah.
[looking back at her friend]
Rebecca Fernhurst : [calling out from back in the alley] Hey, take your time, I'll wait!
Kevin : So. What's going on?
Andrea : [in her mind's voice:] Oh, not too much. Just sleeping with Todd Sparrow.
[out loud:]
Andrea : Oh, not too much.
[he nods]
Andrea : Is something on your mind?
Kevin : Ah, it's nothing. It's...
[shaking his head]
Kevin : I don't even want to dignify it.
Andrea : What is it?
Kevin : It's just that I heard this stupid rumor that you slept with Todd Sparrow.
Andrea : [excitedly, flattered] You did?
[catching herself, now composed]
Andrea : I mean, you did?
Kevin : It isn't true, is it?
Andrea : [almost worldly] Todd and I have been seeing each other.
Kevin : Todd doesn't see girls. He fucks them.
Andrea : You know, that is so rude. You don't even know him. Todd and I have something very special. I got to go.
[walks off, exasperated]
Andrea : Aw.
Rebecca Fernhurst : [calling out to her friend who has forgotten her] Hey, kitty cat!
[Andrea changes direction to go to her]
Kevin : [to departing Andrea] You and I had something very special!
