CHAPTER 9.5 - PAGE 18

(Transcript and visual captions below}

   Karl tried to follow the colorful streak of justice as she flew through the door. His vintage heavy-soled boots moved slowly on the terrain, where purple trainers glided smoothly. He was supposed to be an athlete, why did his body move so sluggishly? His silk shirt caught on a bit of window trim and held him back further precious milliseconds. She was unstoppable. Mere mortals could not hope to defend against her.

In which rainbow is the color of righteous indignation.

    Jack had murmured something but Karl knew any additional words were best left unheard. He revealed a pale eye from between his fingers, "Is it time for my summary execution?"
             "Not quite but I do have some other plans for tonight so I suppose we'd best get on it."

(Karl's all PSH WUT and Curlyfry's all PSH WUT WUT WUT U KNO WUT.)

JACK: What? ...Really?

KARL: No!

CURLYFRY: Yuh huh.

KARL: NO!

5.)

(Karl jerks Jack out of the world of color and back into the bleak world of teenagedom.)

KARL: You stay out of this!

CURLYFRY: Ye coward.

6.)

(Jack and Karl have a conversation in the corner at the bottom of the stairs.)

KARL: I wasn't really going to-- I was just surprised.


JACK: Yeah but you're not even talking to me and then this, why am I even here?

7.)

(Karl is a jerk.)

KARL: That's a good question.

JACK: What?

KARL: Nothing.

8.)

(Karl continues to be a jerk.)

JACK: You don't want me to be here?

KARL: God, stop overreacting.

JACK: You’re that afraid of people knowing you're gay?

BERNARD:Dude, Cerise is crying. What did you do?

KARL: It’s nothing-- I’ll uh, I’ll go talk to her.

(Karl rolls his eyes at Jack's ominous statement.)

JACK: Go ahead, I’ll never talk to you for the rest of my life.

KARL: Whatever.

15.)

(Back in the present, Karl hides his face in shame and Jack wears a wistful expression.)

KARL: *groan*

JACK: --and I kept my word...
