As completely and utterly bullshit as Class of 09: The Flipside was (or should I say the feetside) me and my buddy @/lightyagamiscorset (or Smile) are still thinking about one scene that was probably the singular good depiction of Jeckole's relationship in the game and actually sums up their dynamic as a whole.
Jecka: Sorry... it's just--
Nicole: Are you fucking kidding me!?
Jecka: You said it wasn't an ultimatum!
Nicole: I'm still allowed to be mad!
Jecka: I can't screw up my life over a Marilyn Manson concert.
Nicole: If it was Ryan Shackler you'd go.
Jecka: That's different and you know it.
Nicole: But what am I supposed to do with all this now?
Nicole: Tickets and Ecstacy?
Jecka: You can't find someone else to go with you?
Nicole: Not really, unless it's some guy.
Jecka: Well make some regular friends.
Nicole: I don't know how to make friends! I don't even know how to talk to you.
Jecka: Ugh, can't you just scalp the tickets then!?
Nicole: I'm not some 50 year old Italian Guy, I don't know how to do that either!
Jecka: ...I don't think you should need me this much...
This whole conversation just emphasizes Jeckole's codependency. And there's so many ways for that one line to be interpreted, all of which equally debilitating in themselves.
"I don't think you should need me this much." -- You're stronger than you think, why do you need me?
"I don't think you should need me this much." -- you're getting too close to me. Stop. Go away.
"I don't think you should need me this much" you're getting too close to me, are you okay?
"I don't think you should need me this much." You're already so "good." Get away from me, you apparently don't need me.
"I don't think you should need me this much." I need time alone.
"I don't think you should need me this much." Why do you need me? I don't think you SHOULD. You shouldn't. You're not supposed to. You can't.
"I don't think you should need me this much." Get away from me.
"I don't think you should need me this much." please stop--what are you doing? I'm worried about you.
Just, holy crap. Me and Smile plan on doing a rewrite of the game, and if anything from the original is gonna make it in, it's that one line. It's a miracle a line like that managed to get into the dumpster fire of the sorry excuse of a game that Flipside was.
