Melina Marchetta
Just ask how I'm feeling, I want to say. Just ask and I may tell you. But no one does.

Santangelo is irritated. We're not suppose to be collaborating. It's supposed to be a war and you're supposed to stick to the boundaries. We've seen you in your jocks, she reminds him. Taylor and Griggs have pashed. You've broken into your father's police station for us. Don't you think the war has lost a bit of its tension?
