Ashley Frasier:
I can't believe how far I'm getting behind in class. With all of this stuff about Matt, I can't find the time to study and when I do find time, I can't think straight and I've got this major history test coming up in just a couple of days.

Jake Deosdade:
You'll do OK just like always.

Ashley Frasier:
No! It's different this time. I'm totally imprepared and I don't have a clue when I'll find the time to get prepared. That isn't the point. It's not what I need to talk to you about.

Jake Deosdade:
Matt?

Ashley Frasier:
He's starting to drive me crazy, Jake. What am I supposed to do? What are we supposed to do?

Jake Deosdade:
I just don't know, Ashley. I honestly don't.

Ashley Frasier:
We got to do something. We have been worried about his drinking for ages and then on Friday night seeing him in that condition.

Jake Deosdade:
Well maybe we just have to wait and let Matt calm down a little. Let him start to realize that he does have a really bad drinking problem.

Ashley Frasier:
What if he still won't admit it?

Jake Deosdade:
Then maybe we'll have to do something drastic.

Ashley Frasier:
Like what?

Jake Deosdade:
Like tell his parents.

Ashley Frasier:
We can't do that. He'd never speak to either one of us again.

Jake Deosdade:
I know, but if we really care about him, do we have a choice? I mean we can't just let our friend go down the tubes and if he's drinking like this when he's only 15, what's he gonna be like when he's 18 or 20 or 25?

Ashley Frasier:
You never understand, Jake. He'd hate us.

Jake Deosdade:
I know. But what else can we do?

Ashley Frasier:
I don't think I can handle this anymore.
