- Kevin Porter: [to Bryce] Jessica Davis is back today. Wanna let you know I got my eye on you.
- Bryce Walker: You and a dozen college scouts. I don't know what that's got to do with Jessica.
- Kevin Porter: [pushes Bryce against the bathroom wall] Listen, you little shit. I know everything that I need to know about you. You go near the girl, you look in her direction and I will fuck up your life.
- Clay Jensen: [after Clay faints while getting a tattoo]
- [about his tattoo]
- Clay Jensen: It's a fucking comma.
- Skye Miller: So it signifies a pause. As in, you paused getting a tattoo in order to faint.
- Clay Jensen: Even just getting the tattoo, I fucking fail.
- Tyler Down: It's been five months since Hannah Baker killed herself. We never thought this trial would happen. We thought we could move on, but when I got called to testify, it made me realize we can't just move on.
- Lainie Jensen: Clay, I need to talk to you about the trial.
- Clay Jensen: What? What trial?
- Lainie Jensen: Hannah's trial. It's moving forward.
- Clay Jensen: What? You told me it was settled.
- Lainie Jensen: We thought it was, but the Bakers rejected the district's final offer today. It starts tomorrow.
- Clay Jensen: Tomorrow? How is that possible?
- Lainie Jensen: They were up against the trial date. At the last minute, the Bakers rejected the settlement.
- Clay Jensen: So, I'll get to testify about Bryce?
- Lainie Jensen: Sonya did tell me that you're not on either witness list.
- Clay Jensen: Why not?
- Lainie Jensen: Clay, each side chooses witnesses based on a variety of factors.
- Clay Jensen: Bryce raped Hannah. Why is nobody talking about that? You heard his confession. You heard everything before you dropped out.
- Lainie Jensen: I didn't drop out of the case. I withdrew because your involvement created a conflict of interest.
- Clay Jensen: Well, I'm not involved anymore, so can someone do something?
- Lainie Jensen: If we knew the girl on tape 9.
- Clay Jensen: Mom, it's not my place to tell you that.
- Lainie Jensen: If she would come forward...
- Clay Jensen: This is a fucking joke. He confessed!
- Lainie Jensen: Clay, I'm worried about your anger.
- Clay Jensen: You're worried about my anger? That's what you're worried about? I'm not angry, Mom. I'm fine.
- Lainie Jensen: That's why you're never home?
- Clay Jensen: We had a deal. I've had perfect attendance, kept up my grades, I get to have a life of my own.
- Lainie Jensen: The deal was that you would be safe. You put a lock on your door.
- Clay Jensen: Which you found out by trying to open it?
- Lainie Jensen: Clay, I know this is going to be very hard for you.
- Clay Jensen: It's not. I haven't thought about Hannah in months, so I'll just keep on like that.
- Deputy Standall: [to Alex] Hey, buddy.
- Alex Standall: Hey, Dad.
- Deputy Standall: So, your mom isn't too happy about you going back to school tomorrow.
- Alex Standall: Well, I have to go back with Jessica. We promised we'd go back together and she's going back tomorrow.
- Deputy Standall: Okay, but we were thinking more like a week, maybe two?
- Alex Standall: Dad, it has to be now.
- Deputy Standall: 'Cause of the trial?
- Alex Standall: Yeah. And I know people have been talking about me for months now.
- Deputy Standall: Who's been talking?
- Alex Standall: It's a small town, Dad. I can't even go outside without people looking at me or talking about what I did, or what Hannah did and I failed to do. And I'm sick of hiding from them all.
- Deputy Standall: You're not hiding from anyone. You're recuperating.
- Alex Standall: I can still do that. Just out there. And Hannah's trial means people are finally gonna hear her story, and I want to help tell it.
- Olivia Baker: [to Dennis] I want them to hear Hannah's voice.
- Dennis Vasquez: We've talked about this.
- Olivia Baker: But, Dennis, I want them to hear the pain she was in.
- Dennis Vasquez: Olivia, we'd have to argue best evidence just to get the tapes admitted.
- Olivia Baker: But Tony gave us the cassettes.
- Dennis Vasquez: Yes, and if one goes in, they all go in. We can't get Porter without getting Hannah drunk, Hannah taking her shirt off, leaving the scene of a crime...
- Olivia Baker: All right. What about Bryce Walker?
- Dennis Vasquez: Again, we start with the school first. It doesn't help to bring him and his father's legal team into it.
- Olivia Baker: He raped her. The school knew about it.
- Dennis Vasquez: And unless there's corroboration, it's his word against hers. We have to establish a pattern of activity that the school was aware of.
- Olivia Baker: We're starting with Tyler Down?
- Dennis Vasquez: Because he can speak to the climate of bullying at Liberty, and because we had yesterday to get subpoenas out.
- Olivia Baker: I know. I'm sorry, Dennis. Just when they put the NDA back on the table, I couldn't stay silent. Hannah's story needs to be told and we're gonna tell it.
- Zach Dempsey: [to Clay] When you're under oath, they can ask you anything, right?
- Clay Jensen: You stole a fucking note. Not like you raped her. What are you worried about?
- Zach Dempsey: What about the tapes? What about the tape you made?
- Clay Jensen: Why are you still hanging around with Bryce? What does he have on you?
- Zach Dempsey: I'm not hanging out with Bryce, okay? I just I have to play baseball with him. And I was just hoping that this trial wouldn't fuck up everybody's life.
- Clay Jensen: Well, too late.
- Tyler Down: This trial going forward, it affects the whole town. We have to think about it all over again, how Hannah lived and how she died. And how it changed all our lives.
- Dennis Vasquez: [in his opening statement] Each day in this trial, you're gonna hear testimony from students who knew Hannah Baker at Liberty High, from adults at Liberty, from Hannah's own parents. You'll hear about a girl in crisis, a poisonous school culture, and an administration that could have averted a tragedy, but didn't. You'll hear about a beautiful, innocent, sensitive girl who was bullied to death. And for every story you hear about a precious girl that we've lost, there are stories of the living. There are lives in the balance. Justice must be done for Hannah and for those who are still suffering.
