Laurie:
You know, it doesn't make sense to leave home to look for home, to give up a life to find a new life, to say goodbye to friends you love just to find new friends.

Steve:
Wait a minute. Could you say that again?

Laurie:
It's something Curt said.

Steve:
Oh, figures. You must've talked his ear off trying to get him to stay.

Laurie:
Oh no, Steven. That's not true at all. I didn't say anything. Curt just said at dinner tonight that he didn't see what the big hurry was. He thought that he ought to stick around and go to J.C. for a while, and try and figure out what he wanted to do with his life.

Steve:
That sounds logical.

Laurie:
Do you think so?

Steve:
Sure. I think Curt's probably right for Curt. Not for me, though. [She turns away] Laurie, look at me. Now you know what I want out of life. And it's just not in this town.

Laurie:
I'm not going with you to the airport tomorrow.

[they kiss, Steve pressing for more, but Laurie rebuffs him]

Steve:
It's our last night together for three months...I'm gonna miss you so much. I need something to remember you by. You don't want me to forget you, do ya?

Laurie:
If you're not gonna remember me for anything else, why don't you just go ahead?

Steve:
Oh come on, you want it and you know it. Don't be so damn self-righteous with me!

[Laurie kicks him out of her car]
