Maddy
[edit]- Listen. Here's something I've learned the hard way. Popularity is just some ridiculous concept that ruins people's lives. Truth is, you're the lucky ones. I'm envious of all of you. Despite being rejected, you all have stayed true to yourselves. I've always done everything in my power to fit in. And I'll admit my reasons for doing this are pathetic. My popular boyfriend leaves me for my popular best friend. Big deal, right? But it's not too late to correct the errors of my ways. I don't deserve your trust. But I do want to change things. Together we can make a statement.
Dialogue
[edit]- Cole: As long as you go to prom, your high school experience won't be a complete bust. And if you're crowned prom king or queen, it's like being told you win at high school.
- Maddy: Yeah but sometimes it's the gay kid, or the trans-sexual kid, or the crippled kid.
- Cole: So that the popular kids can feel like good people for allowing it to happen.
- Maddy: I never thought of it that way.
- Cole: See, um... What the popular kids don't realize is that most of their awesome high school experiences are at the expense of the unpopular kids' feelings.
- Maddy: [Takes one picture] Perfect.
- Cole: What happened to 40 pictures?
- Maddy: Moments like this should be unfiltered.
- Maddy: How could you do this to me? I never did anything to you.
- Cole: It wasn't supposed to go down like that. It wasn't supposed to be you.
- Maddy: You blame your entire shitty high school experience on me as if you being a loser is my fault. You just stood on the sidelines judging me, thinking you were better than me.
- Cole: You're right. I'm sorry.
- Maddy: Sorry's not good enough.
- Marissa: [Marissa pulls down Cole's pants] Are you kidding me? Tighty lives! [Students cheer]
- Cole: [Cole steps out of his pants and stands on top of a garbage can in his underwear] Enough! I'm sorry, Maddy. But this is all on you.
- Maddy: What? I didn't even do anything.
- Cole: Exactly. You never do anything. Which is exactly why guys like Kane think it's okay to torment us endlessly. Because there are no consequences to their actions. You stay their friend. You go to their parties. You become their girlfriend or boyfriend. You stand idly by like citizens of a war who believe they have no blame for the atrocities that happen in high school. So yeah, we ruined your night. So what? We didn't shoot up the school, none of us committed suicide. Even though we may have thought of it just because of the way you treat us. And the saddest part is that most of us just wish you liked us. We even fall in love with you. We all grew up together. The only people in our entire lives we'll be able to say that about. And here we are, using all these new forms of communication not to bring us all together, but to rip each other apart. Movies have been made for decades about how cruel we are to each other. And we can relate. Just nothing ever happens. High school is just a popularity contest. But for some reason, that's not good enough. So we created an actual popularity contest... for prom king and queen. To verify just how unpopular the rest of us are. What is up with that? Prom.
- Emile: Fuck the prom!
- Cole: Yeah, fuck the prom!
- TJ: Fuck the prom!
- Abbey: Yeah, fuck the prom!
- City, Sweats and Strings: Fuck the prom!
- Everyone: [Chanting] Fuck the prom...!
- Maddy: You're a selfie virgin? A surgin?
