Amy Beckwith: Lauren Power

Quotes 

• Lauren Power : [trying to reach Charley on her phone]  Charley, where are you? We're all waiting. Call me when you get this. Look, you guys start training without us.

  Bridget : You sure?

  Lauren Power : Yeah, go ahead.

  Guy Spender : Okay, well, let's go get your canoe so you're ready to go.

  Lauren Power : Thanks. That'd be great.

  Cassie Cometti : Okay, guys, we have got to do something because this is just getting ridiculous.

  Bridget : You think Charley's having another secret rendezvous like yesterday?

  Cassie Cometti : Like yesterday?

  Bridget : Adam and Guy saw them at the cafe. Didn't they tell you?

  Cassie Cometti : No. Thanks a lot, Adam.

  Adam Bridge : Oh, don't look now, here he comes.

  Charley Prince : Sorry I'm so late. Something important came up and I just couldn't get away.

  Cassie Cometti : Something important, right. What was it this time?

  Charley Prince : Just family stuff.

  Cassie Cometti : Family. Don't your family live in Western Australia?

  Charley Prince : Yeah, they do. Do we really need to go into it, though?

  Cassie Cometti : Uh, no, I just wish you'd stop lying!

  Charley Prince : What?

  Adam Bridge : Cassie, please.

  Cassie Cometti : No, I can't keep quiet about this any longer.

  Charley Prince : Keep quiet about what?

  Cassie Cometti : We all know what's going on, Charley. Well, all of us, except for Loren.

  Charley Prince : What are you talking about?

  Cassie Cometti : We've seen you with her.

  Charley Prince : Her?

  Cassie Cometti : Yeah, your new best friend.

  Adam Bridge : Sorry, mate, the game's up. We saw you with her at the nature park, and then again yesterday at the cafe.

  Cassie Cometti : How could you do this to Loren?

  Charley Prince : Loren? This has got nothing to do with Loren.

  Cassie Cometti : You're sneaking around with some other girl and it's got nothing to do with Loren.

  Charley Prince : Whoa, what? That's ridic... You know what, I really don't need this right now. Especially not from people I thought were my friends.

  [angrily walks away] 

  Lauren Power : Charley? Where's he going?

  Cassie Cometti : Loren, I wish I didn't have to tell you this, but you have to find out sooner or later.

• Lauren Power : Hey, the beach pool looks perfect. Anyone up for a swim?

  Bridget : Yeah, sure. Just let me get changed.

  Cassie Cometti : Uh, yeah, we'll meet you down there, okay?

  Lauren Power : Okay.

  Cassie Cometti : Look, I can't keep pretending much longer.

  Bridget : Pretending what?

  Adam Bridge : Cassie.

  Cassie Cometti : It's time we told them anyway.

  Bridget : Told us what?

  Adam Bridge : Listen, I just don't think it's a good idea.

  Cassie Cometti : Come on, Adam. Maybe they can help work out what to do.

  Adam Bridge : [sighs]  Yeah, okay.

  Cassie Cometti : We think Charley is seeing another girl.

  Bridget : Another girl? As in a girlfriend girl?

  Guy Spender : What, that's nuts! Charley's mad about Loren.

  Cassie Cometti : Well, that's what we thought, but remember when we went on that bike ride the other day? Well, that was the beginning.

  Adam Bridge : [narrating]  So we took them through it, like a pair of lawyers for the prosecution. Exhibit A: the first sighting at the nature park. Exhibit B: that suspicious phone call. Exhibits C and D: those flimsy excuses Charley kept giving. And exhibits E and F: his complete lack of interest in training. Then we rested our case and asked for the verdict.

  Bridget : I don't believe it.

  Guy Spender : Neither do I. Even if Charley *was* seeing someone, he'd tell Loren about it. He's not the kind of guy to sneak behind someone's back.

  Cassie Cometti : Well, then why is he covering something up? If there's nothing to hide, why is he hiding?

  Bridget : Have you said anything to Loren yet?

  Cassie Cometti : Um, no, Adam thinks we should wait until we're completely sure.

  Guy Spender : Yeah, I'm with him.

  Bridget : Me too. Besides, I don't think we should interfere. This is something that those two should handle.

  Cassie Cometti : But Loren is our friend.

  Guy Spender : Yeah, so is Charley.

  Adam Bridge : [about the chocolate tin they've been eating from]  Speaking of Loren, did she open these, or did we?

  Guy Spender : Oh, I did.

  [Adam groans] 

  Bridget : They were from her family.

  Guy Spender : Yeah, I know, but I just wanted one, and then I...

  Adam Bridge : And then we finished off the whole tin.

  Guy Spender : Oh, it's okay. I'll just buy her a new tin. She won't even know.

  Adam Bridge : Good idea. I'll come with you.

  Bridget : Hey, Cassie, weren't we meant to meet Loren down at the pool?

  Cassie Cometti : Oh yeah.
