CASSIE
Is it possible to truly enjoy power?

RANDOM TEACHER
Sorry?

CASSIE
It's question three.

RANDOM TEACHER
I'm not supposed to help you with your exam.

CASSIE
I stopped eating and then everyone had to do what I said. That was powerful.

RANDOM TEACHER
And did you enjoy that?

CASSIE
I think it was the happiest time of my life... but I had to stop before I died because otherwise it wasn't fun...
You wouldn't understand.

RANDOM TEACHER
You're wrong, Cassie.

CASSIE
Did you cut yourself too?

RANDOM TEACHER
People would do anything... people would do anything to work out why they feel bad, won't they?

CASSIE
And did you... work it out? 

RANDOM TEACHER
Like I said, I'm not supposed to help you with your exam.

CASSIE
I want you to tell me.

RANDOM TEACHER
What?

CASSIE
How to stop bad things happening?

RANDOM TEACHER
Doesn't work, does it? That's why you have to start eating again.

CASSIE
I fell in love.

RANDOM TEACHER
Ah, love. Why cut yourself when you can be in love?

CASSIE
You think passing an exam will make me happy?

RANDOM TEACHER
