Quotes 

• 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.
