Kate: I told you exactly what happened! Well, it's too late to help, Max. Too late.

Max: Yes... I know I screwed up. I'm sorry, Kate. Please... you don't have to do this...

Kate: Max, I'm in a nightmare and I can't wake up... unless I put myself to sleep. Then everybody at Blackwell can post pics of my body... I'm already on the internet forever. No wonder they call it a "_(1)_"--nothing can ever get out. Like my video... I wish I could go back in time and erase¹ everything...

Max: Kate, this is our chance to beat the bullies². That's the only way we can win against them.

Kate: Can we really, Max? I don't believe in miracles anymore either.

Max: Now I do. You're part of the reason why. If you come down with me, I can tell you more...

Kate: You're such a good person, Max. Even if you're full of crap. But I'll come with you... You're my friend.

Max: Forever. Can we _(2)_ on it?

Kate: No... Nobody cares about me, nobody...

Max: You told me about your sisters, especially the youngest one. What's her name?

Kate: That's Lynn... she's only ten... She does have the best smile ever... I would hate to see her sad...

Max: Then make Lynn happy and step towards me. If she was here, you would know what to do. This isn't the end, Kate. There's no way God doesn't have big plans for you here...

Kate: Nice try, Max. But God put me on this roof.

Max: "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will ___(3)___..."

Kate: "Matthew 11:28"... I can't believe you quoted one of my favorite passages... I'm sorry... sorry...

Max: What are you talking about? You saved me from talking in class!

 

Principal Wells: Now, I know today was difficult for everybody, but I'm so proud of the way Blackwell pulled together to save a young girl's life. Of course, you're quite a hero for getting Kate to come down, Max.

Max: I didn't do much...

Mr. Jefferson: She's modest. Like a real hero.

David: Yeah. "Real hero."

Principal Wells: As principal of Blackwell Academy, I take my duties seriously. I take the well-being³ of every student more seriously. What happened today should never happened in a hall of wisdom and knowledge. Mr. Madsen, as our head of security here, those roof doors should always be locked. That's just standard operating procedure. They were not. And that is indeed your responsibility. Mr. Jefferson, I know you can't be expected to know what your students are going through. But Kate has assisted you in class, so you should have known ___(4)___. Mr. Prescott, since you are responsible for the Vortex Club parties... And since Miss Marsh⁴ did attend your last party, you'll have to answer some more questions. Miss Caulfield, why exactly were you on the roof with Kate Marsh? Did she tell you her plan? Or anything at all? Please, tell us everything.
