Quote from Sue in The Loneliest Locker
Brad and Sue: Energy, energy, energy. Focus. Brad: Did you talk to the new girl? Sue: No, I'm not talking to the new girl. Should we talk to the new girl? Brad: If we talk to the new girl, then we're the only people who've talked to the new girl. Sue: Yeah. You're right. Let's not talk to the new girl. Brad: [gasps] Freeze. That's what we said. Here's what we should have said. [both imitate tape rewinding] Sue: Hey, look... there's the new girl. Brad: Let's talk to her at lunch and welcome her to our school. Neutral space. Now we're in the new girl's mind. [both whooshing] Sue: [breathes deeply] Why won't they talk to me? I'm crying out for help. Why did we move here? I was so happy in Dallas. Brad: Dallas, Dallas, Dallas, Dallas, Dallas, Dallas. Sue: Dallas, Dallas, Dallas, Dallas, Dallas.
