SHAWN
We have to tell somebody do
something I mean you can't just
sit there and let that kind of
stuff happen.
FAITH
NO! WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING! Doesn't
matter though nobody would
believe me anyway she would deny
it and hit me again if I tried to
tell someone.
SHAWN
How can you not tell someone if
you do she can go to jail she
wouldn't bother you anymore you
wouldn't have to be subjected to
this nobody deserves to be hurt
like that why did she do it?
FAITH
Because I'm Gothic and I believe
In things she doesn't alright its
fine
SHAWN
No it isn't you know what Goth is
to me? To me, Goth is to put on a
lying, smiling face pretending
that everything is Ok when it's
not.
FAITH
You don't know anything about the
way I feel you never could never
will so don't sit here and tell
me what I need to do when you
need to be worrying about finding
