Cory Wilson : I wanted to be with you that night. I don't know why. I just did, it felt right.
[Naveed tries to leave]
Cory Wilson : Wait.
Naveed Haider : Get off me.
Cory Wilson : I'm trying to be honest with you. It didn't mean the same to me as it did to you. I wish I could be what you want me to be, but I can't.
Naveed Haider : Who's lying to himself now?
Cory Wilson : Fine. You know what? I'm not gay, you're not straight, so let's both just get over it.
-
Cory Wilson : What is it?
Naveed Haider : I'm gay. Parents found out.
Cory Wilson : So?
Naveed Haider : I'm scared. I don't know what to do. This isn't what I wanted, and now it's changed everything. I thought once it was out it'd be alright but I'm more scared now than I was before.
Cory Wilson : At least it's out now.
Naveed Haider : [crying] You don't get it. I felt safe behind the lies. Sending ourselves normal. Pretended that I'd get married. Pretended it was alright. I don't know what I want. I'm sick of it. I can't do it anymore.
Cory Wilson : You've got friends. You've got me.
Naveed Haider : But Mum said I was disgusting.

Cory Wilson : Me too.
Naveed Haider : I'm sorry about - that. I went a bit too far, that's all.
Cory Wilson : You didn't. It made me feel like somebody actually cared. Like someone really cared.
