Sometimes things just happen to you. They just happen. You can't help it. But it's what you do next that counts. Not what happens but what you decide to do about it.

I just needed to be alone, this was starting to be more than I could live with.
— Hannah on the tapes about Jeff's death


Clay: "You have to tell them now. Like, today."
Sheri: "Why now? Why today?"
Clay: "Because every day hurts."
Sheri: "How do you know? "
Clay: "Every day they live not knowing the truth. They need this, Sheri."
Sheri: "They do, or you do?"
Clay: "They're hurting."
Sheri: "How do you know that? Did you go see them?"
Clay: "That's not the point. You can't keep this secret anymore."
Sheri: "It's my secret, not yours."
―  Clay and Sheri
Alex: "Hey, you okay?"
Clay: "Hey, Alex, I'm fine."
Alex: "Can't believe this fucking school. They're already putting up drunk driving posters."
Clay: "Whatever"
Alex: "Whatever?"
Clay: "He was driving drunk. It was stupid."
Alex: "Yeah but, I mean, aren't you sad?"
Clay: "I'm more pissed off."
Alex: "You know I think you can be both, I mean, like, right now maybe it's easier being mad at him than being sad. I mean that's cool. But I also think that maybe someday you might feel worse if all you were today was mad. You know what I mean?"
Clay: "No."
―  Clay and Alex after Jeff's death and the school putting up posters.
Lainie: "The district is self-insured. Every dollar here comes out of the classroom."
Dennis: "You and I both know that's bullshit. Tell them to fire a few administrators. Starting with Gary Bolan."
Lainie: "I don't think that's within the scope of the agreement."
Dennis: "Let's start with the NDA."
Lainie: "Standard."
Dennis: "It's a non-starter."
Lainie: "I don't know how far we get without it."
―  Lainie and Dennis during their battle over the school, Hannah and her parents.
Olivia: "You wanna keep this quiet. You want Hannah's story hidden away."
Lainie: "The district will continue its anti-bullying efforts and will commit to a suicide prevention program to be in place by the beginning of the following school year."
Andrew: "Why... Why wasn't it in place already?"
Lainie: "There was a policy in place. There will be a better one."
Olivia [scoffs]: "Well, that's nice."
Lainie: "We all want to ensure that this doesn't happen to another child, period. The financial means of the district will affect its ability to assure that."
Dennis: "Well, that's cold thinking."
Lainie: "We all want a solution that's fair to everyone, Dennis."
―  Lainie, Dennis, Andrew and Olivia regard the lawsuit Andrew and Olivia brought over Liberty High School.
Olivia: "I know your son."
Lainie: "Sorry?"
Olivia: "Clay, he visited the house, and the store. He's the one who gave us the magazine."
Lainie: "I see. We probably shouldn't be speaking without your-"
Olivia: "He was close with Hannah. Did you know that?"
Lainie: "He, um... He told me that, yes."
Olivia: "He seems like a good kid."
Lainie: "He's a very good kid, yeah."
Olivia: "Tell me, how much is his life worth to you?"
Lainie: "Mrs. Baker, we shouldn't be having this conversation."
―  Olivia asks Lainie what she would do, Lainie admits she'd be on the same path Olivia is on.
Olivia: "Don't you think it's exactly the conversation we should be having?"
Lainie: "My son is worth everything to me, as I'm sure Hannah is to you. And if I lost him... felt that someone had taken him from me, then I would persue any remedy possible."
Olivia: "Yes."
Lainie: "But I don't know that any amount of money would suffice."
Olivia: "Would you settle for, say, $200,000?"
Lainie: "I think I would only settle for the truth, whether I liked it or not."
―  Olivia asks Lainie what she would do, Lainie admits she'd be on the same path Olivia is on (carried on).
