- Olivia Baker: [after Justin is arrested as an accessory to Jessica's rape] Jessica. We got him. We got Bryce.
- Jessica Davis: But they got Justin, too. What do we do?
- [cries into Olivia's arms]
- Olivia Baker: You keep fighting.
- Bryce Walker: [When Clay shows up at Bryce's house planning to shoot him, but Justin stops him from doing so] This is fucking ridiculous.
- Justin Foley: You're gonna go back inside and you're gonna pour yourself another glass of whiskey, and you're gonna forget that we were ever here, got it?
- Bryce Walker: I heard they just filed for another additional witness. That wouldn't be you by any chance, would it? You should be more scared than you are, Justin.
- Justin Foley: Bryce, I've got nothing left to lose. That makes me the dangerous one.
- Alex Standall: [to Zach] What's the big emergency?
- Zach Dempsey: This is what I woke up to this morning.
- [reads the texts from his phone]
- Zach Dempsey: 12:12 a.m. "Someone gave me a bullet." 12:13 a.m. "Someone gave me a gun." 12:37 a.m. "I figured it all out." You can't fucking text shit like this to a person and then fall asleep.
- Dennis Vasquez: [during his closing argument] In the first few years of life, children rely on their parents, but there comes a time when every parent must share their child with the world, with a school. In the hands of the faculty at Liberty High School, Hannah Baker was bullied and harassed. And she asked for help twice. First, anonymously through a letter read aloud in class, but ultimately ignored by her teacher. And then Hannah did what most students who are suffering do not. She went to her school counselor and she suggested that she had been raped by a fellow student. She went to a mandatory reporter for help. And yet again, her cries were ignored. Hannah may have been a complicated girl as the defense has suggested, but this case is simple. Hannah Baker asked for help and Liberty High School failed to provide it.
- Alex Standall: [to Montgomery] You went a long way for Bryce. He'd sell you out to save his own ass in a heartbeat. You know that, right?
- Montgomery de la Cruz: Know what I got, Alex? I got my friends, I got the team. That's it. I don't get to be all sad, boo-hoo, my friend died. I'm gonna put a bullet in my head so the world feels sorry for me.
- [Alex moves the gun towards him]
- Montgomery de la Cruz: Jesus, you wave that gun around like I give a shit. I don't, man. If I sell out Bryce or lie, either way, my whole life falls apart. I got no one else on my side. I can't run home. That team's my home. Going to playoffs, winning state, being an athlete, that's not about fun for me. It's about survival. It's all I got. It's everything. So you wanna shoot me? Shoot me.
