Lily: I read this quote from this writer whose name I forget. But it said something like... "Ten percent of the population is cruel. And, like, ten percent is merciful. And the other 80 percent can be swayed in either direction." I'm also pretty sure that that writer has never seen a WorldStar fight vid or 4chan or Twitter. Or had their best friend share their nudes with her boyfriend and in turn, the entire fucking school. But it is scary to think about. Because you don't know who's who or how easily they can be swayed. And at the end of the day, nothing unites us like a good tragedy. And the worse it gets, the more entertaining it is for you... this high school, this bullshit town and the rest of the world.

Bex: Okay. All the rape jokes are making me seriously uncomfortable.
