You tried to kill yourself. You were a little wound up yesterday. But I thought you
were just being you.
PETER: What are you talking about? I didn't... I didn't try to kill myself... You
were in the alley below. I jumped, and then... you flew.
NATHAN: I what?
PETER: You flew up and you caught me.
NATHAN: You jumped, Peter. 25 feet to a fire escape. I climbed up and carried
you down. That's what happened. The rest is just crazy talk. Do you understand?

SHERIFF: Girls, this isn't a criminal investigation. Nobody here is in any kind of
trouble. Quite the contrary! There just happens to be a
very grateful man lying in the hospital who would like to thank one of you for
saving his life yesterday.
FIREMAN: I've never seen anyone so reluctant to be called a hero.
PRINCIPAL: You're sure it was one of our cheerleaders?
FIREMAN: The uniform said Union Wells High. I'd have to say it was her on the
end.
PRINCIPAL: That's Claire Bennett.
SHERIFF: Claire, where did you go yesterday after cheerleading practice?
CLAIRE: I, er...
JACKIE: It wasn't her. It was me. I was taking a shortcut home from school, and I
saw the wreckage of the train and I just had to help.
PRINCIPAL: Why didn't you say something?
JACKIE: I guess I didn't want all the attention, you know? That's not why I did it.

to congratulate you as an honorary firefighter.
