Venus Part I
This is really not a great episode at all for Crash, but I just wanted to include it to show how much Craig had cared about Ash, waited for her, and was heartbroken when she didn't return.
(The seniors (Jimmy, Hazel, Paige, Craig, and Ellie) are walking up to the school on the first day.)
Paige: Can you believe that we, the most cursed class in history, actually made it to senior year?
Everyone else: No!
Hazel: I guess Ashley didn�t make it.
Craig: Yet! She�ll be here. Right El?
Ellie: Definitely.
(In The Dot where everyone threw Craig a surprise birthday party)
Spinner: There are two extra scoops in there.
Craig: I won�t tell.
Spinner: Happy birthday man.
Craig: Yeah. I gotta get back.
Spinner: Uh Craig. I�m sorry about what happened. It sucks. You�re a great guy and you deserve better than that.
Craig: Better than what?
Spinner: Better than Ashley. Man I know all about it.
Craig: All about what? What the hell are you talking about?
Spinner: Ellie said that�nothing. It�s nothing! Nothing�
Ellie: Time to open presents?
Craig: It�s time to tell the truth. What is going on with Ashley?
*Nobody says anything*
Craig: If you told Spinner, you can tell me.
Ellie: She wanted to tell you herself. She wanted to wait �til the time was right.
Craig: Whatever. Just tell me.
Ellie: She met someone.
*Craig gets a stomach drops/heartbroken look on his face*
Craig: Wait. You knew and you didn�t tell me?
Marco: Don�t shoot the messenger Craig. We-
Craig: You knew? Did everybody know? *To Ellie*Screw you.
Venus Part II
(In Ms. Kwan�s classroom, Ellie walks in late and sits behind Craig)
Ms. Kwan: A smart reader uses strategies before she reads to preview the text and to activate their prior knowledge of the topic. A smart reader also tracts and reports ideas as they read them. Smart readers also know that reading plays a vital role in learning. *She keeps talking while Craig and Ellie talk*
Craig: Stop staring.
Ellie: Stop being an ass.
Craig: Do you know how humiliating it was to find out, in public, that my girlfriend dumped me by e-mail?
Ellie: Oh. Oh you�re forgetting on your birthday. It�s a pretty good detail too. Ashley wanted to tell you herself. She wanted to wait until the time was right. She was�concerned.
Craig: That I�d go off my meds and go all crazy. I�m fine. You know I�m fine. We hung out all summer and I don�t need you protecting me.
Ellie: All this anger is for Ashley. Buy a ticket, go to London, and freak on her there.
