{{quote| '''Cassie:''' Believe me, I want to...be here, do things. I want to graduate from high school, and I want to go to the stupid winter formal...

I'd love to ice skate at Rockefeller Center. And I'd love to see my cousins grow up and see how they turn out 'cause they're really mean and I think they're gonna be fat. I'd love to backpack across the country or, I don't know, fall in love... but I won't. I just never will.}}
