Quotes 

• Brooke McQueen : [on stairs, coming down]  Josh. Hey, stranger. Uhm, can I talk to you for a minute?

  Josh Ford : Yeah.

  [bell rings] 

  Josh Ford : Sure. What's up?

  Brooke McQueen : Look, I know... it's been kinda tough for us to get back on track since I've decided to stay. But I... I really thought you were gonna come to the movies with us on Saturday night.

  Josh Ford : Oh, sorry, I was, uh, studying.

  Brooke McQueen : We saw you... delivering a pizza on Third, Josh. Why didn't you tell me that you're working?

  Josh Ford : I don't know. I...

  [scoffs] 

  Josh Ford : I guess I was embarrassed. Quarterback by day, slice pusher by night. Sort of seems like a big slide, you know?

  Brooke McQueen : Are you and your Mom having problems?

  [as he hesitates:] 

  Brooke McQueen : So what's going on?

  Josh Ford : [scoffs]  I'm worried, Brooke. About money, about grades, about how I'm gonna help my Mom find a job, about how I'm gonna tell Coach I have to miss practice. I feel like I'm drowning. And I missed you, Brooke. I mean, you pulled away. I lost the only person I could ever really talk to.

  Brooke McQueen : Are you working at Guido's again on Saturday night?

  [he nods] 

  Brooke McQueen : Cool. Consider me there, riding shotgun.

  Josh Ford : What, you wanna go delivering pizzas with me?

  Brooke McQueen : [smiles]  Yes.

  Josh Ford : [chuckles]  Isn't slumming like that sort of taboo for a Homecoming Queen?

  Brooke McQueen : If I'm with you, then I don't care.
