Rosella 2022-08-20 16:25:13
First of all, Nicholas, why are you so beautiful. Second, foreign children are free. But I don't really agree with this kind of life, just a piece of moving meat, in the end, since it's real enough, there must be something beautiful, the friendship between them is very tense and moving, and everything they do is It may happen in reality, but it is not foreseen in advance. The characters are the least flat I've ever seen, and you totally believe it's all real, and what happens between them is happening somewhere on earth.

Emily: [laying in bed together] I wish I had a mom like that. Katie and me, we were always together. Everything together. Eating, sleeping... Until we were nine we used to take a dump at the same time.
Naomi: [laughing] Jesus!
Emily: Yeah. No secrets. There was no point.
Naomi: [beat, then serious] What about this one?
Emily: [beat] Naomi... I wanna tell people.
Naomi: That you're gay?
Emily: I wanna tell people about us. Come to the college ball with me.
Naomi: Why would I want to do that?
Emily: Why not?
Naomi: Em, it's nobody's business.
Emily: Why? Who cares what other people think?
Naomi: Emily, I'm not like you! I'm not sure, like you are.
Emily: What aren't you sure of?
Naomi: Can't thinks ever be complicated?
Emily: Fine, you like boys, too.
Naomi: Maybe. Maybe I like only boys, apart from you.
