Jeremy, traumatized by a bizarre and aggressive sexual encounter from the night before, desperately tries to convince John to leave the Cleary estate. John, who is becoming genuinely infatuated with Claire, manipulates Jeremy into staying by invoking their 'crasher rules' and appealing to their friendship.
JOHN: There he is . . . it’s the little/big guy, get in here, wait till you see the spread. Anything you want . . .
JEREMY: Get what you want to go. The next ferry leaves in 25 minutes. We gotta get out of here.
JOHN: What’s your problem? Have some of this stuff.
JEREMY: I didn’t get a lot of sleep last night, John. I’m fried.
JOHN: Soft mattress?
JEREMY: Yeah, that could have been it, could have been the soft mattress. Or it could have been the midnight rape or the nude gay art show that took place in my room.
