Cassie quotes from Lincoln Heights

Cassie

Charles, this will never, ever be our song.

Charles

Cassie, what I'm trying to say is, I don't wanna be your friend, I want to be more than that. I like you Cassie.

Cassie

Okay, is this you talking or the beer?

Charles

I know what I'm saying, and I'm not drunk. (she grins at him) Okay, maybe a little. (she laughs) But I still like you, a lot.

Cassie

She's afraid he'll reject her.

Charles

He won't. See the way he's looking at her? He's got feelings for her too.

Cassie

How could she be certain?

Charles

It's in his eyes. Eventually they'll find the courage to tell each other how they feel.

Cassie

And their hearts will open like cherry blossoms in the spring. (pauses for a moment) Or, he'll tell her he's gay.

Cassie

I posted my resume on the internet.

Jenn

Why not look the old fashioned way? Pound the pavement.

Cassie

I can't believe that my dad is letting me go out with you. What did you say to him?

Charles

Stuff men say to each other. But the important thing is what I want to tell you. Cassie, sex isn't really a big deal to me right now. (pause) Well, maybe a medium deal. The important thing is that I love you and I want you to feel comfortable with me.

Cassie

I am and I've always been comfortable with you.

Cassie

Go away!

I'm just trying to help you out, see? If you come with us, we're gonna take good care of you. (he gropes Cassie's leg)

Cassie

You wanna know why I'm by myself? The buses aren't running, there's people all in the streets, I lost my boyfriend. I've been waiting an hour-and-a-half for him to pick me up! –People are throwing bottles everywhere, this city's going crazy! Now you come to hassle me?! You want something from me? Well, come get it, papi, otherwise back off!

Lizzie

Nothing's up, quit riding me!

Eddie

What did you say? (to Cassie) What in the hell's going on? You're home late; your sister's talking back.

Cassie

Don't look at me, Tay's the one wearing makeup.

Cassie

(to Charles) Are you breaking up with me? (Charles looks away) Are you?

Charles

Yes.

Cassie

Don't you love me anymore?

Charles

It doesn't matter...

Cassie

It does, Charles, it matters to me. Did you ever love me?

Charles

I did, and I still do.

Cassie

Well why won't you fight for us?!

Charles

'Cause it won't work. This is for the best.

Cassie

For who, Charles? Don't say it's for me, because it's not. You're doing this for you! (turns and runs out)

Sage

(spills coffee on purpose) Oh! Oops! Sorry. Guess you might wanna mop that up.

Cassie

(looks at Sage's top) Was that Charles' shirt?

Sage

Yeah.

Cassie

Your eggs are on the stove.

Lizzie

And the toast is ready, and the coffee's hot.

Eddie

Okay, what'd you guys do with our kids?

Okay. Your I.B.U.s are off the scale.

Cassie

Hmm?

Your International Baloney Units?

Ta'wanda

So, What's up girl? You and Charles back together again?

Cassie

(slowing down) No.

Ta'Wanda

'Cause it kinda looked that way after he was doing all that singing to you last week.

Cassie

Charles and I are not back together. He's with Sage now.

Ta'wanda

He was better with you than that skinny old ho. (Cassie giggles)

Cassie

Charles, you broke up with me. Then you go and buy my painting… now you're singing to me in public? Why are you playing games with me?

Charles

I'm not playing games with you, Cassie. I'm sorry. It's just been harder for me to turn it off than I expected. You meant a lot to me, you still do.

Cassie

Charles, it's hard for me too, but you have to stop.

Charles

I never meant to cause you any pain… especially now that you're with Luc. You are with Luc, aren't you?

Cassie

(sighs) Maybe it'd be easier if we just stayed away from each other. (walks away)

Charles

I'll try. (slams his locker)

Cassie

So how's your leg? Are you fully recovered?

Charles

I've been recovered, but I could use some of this

Sage

He doesn't need anybody, okay? Kevin Lund is an island.

Cassie

No, he's a sinking ship. I mean, for the past three months, all he's done is worry about you, sit with you, pray for you.… And now he's drinking, he's in trouble on his job.

Sage

What? How do you know that?

Cassie

I heard my parents talking. They're really worried and now you're just gonna walk away? (Sage shrugs her shoulder) Guess that accident didn't hurt you at all. You're still the same old Sage.
