«You're very attached to Arnold, aren't you?»

«Yes.»

«It's not just that you care what he thinks?»

«No.»

«It's odd. He's awkward with you. I know he often hurts you. But he cares very much for you, very much.»

«She's beautiful, you know.»

«And you.»

«No. But I appreciate her. You never described her properly.»

«She's changed.»

«Arnold thinks you're still in love with her.»

«If he thinks that it must be because he's in love with her himself.»

«Are you in love with her?»

«Rachel, do you want me to scream and scream and scream?»

«You are a schoolboy!»

«Only because of her I understand hatred.»

«Are you a masochist, Bradley?»

«Don't be daft.»

«I sometimes thought you enjoyed it when Arnold went for you.»

«Is Arnold in love with her?»

«Where do you suppose he went to when he left us today?»

«To the-Oh, you mean he went back to her?»

«Of course.»

«Hell. He's only met her twice, three times-«Don't you believe in love at first sight?»
