- Daisy Lipenowski: You're wearing a mask.
- Shelby Merrick: That's a good one, coming from Goth girl.
- Daisy Lipenowski: My mask was an honest one for all the world to see. Yours is invisible.
- Shelby Merrick: You are so way creepy.
- Daisy Lipenowski: You're hiding something. And it's taking your energy, using it up; there's less and less left. Soon there'll be none.
- Peter Scarbrow: How's Juliette doing?
- Hannah Barnes: Um... Shelby's in talking to her.
- Peter Scarbrow: Shelby. That's like shock therapy, isn't it?
- Scott Barringer: We're not even losers until we cross the finish line. We sit here and we're nothing. We move, then we're a team. At least we're that.
- Scott Barringer: I always thought that if anyone ever found out about my step mom, about what happened, I thought if I ever told anyone, I'd never be able to look at them again.
- Shelby Merrick: You can look at me, can't you?
- Scott Barringer: You're beautiful.
- Scott Barringer: She's not a skank. She's a woman, and she's my friend... Three things I can no longer say about you.
- Juliette Waybourne: Don't you ever wish that sometimes you could just... float?
- Ezra Friedkin: With or without the use of pharmaceutical aids?
- Shelby Merrick: There're only two words I ever want to hear from you, "I'm sorry."
- Scott Barringer: I don't know why you're...
- Shelby Merrick: Wrong words.
- Shelby Merrick: I'll have coffee.
- Sophie Becker: De-caf.
- Shelby Merrick: Then I'll have a coke.
- Sophie Becker: Diet. No caffeine.
- Shelby Merrick: What was I thinking? I'll just have water. Wouldn't want to get crazed on sugar and caffeine.
- Ezra Friedkin: I made a film for Junior High Social Studies. It was called Smoke Gets in My Eyes, celebrated my youth lost to the drug culture.
- Daisy Lipenowski: Mine was called The Upside of Death. I thought it was a comedy.
- Shelby Merrick: You would.
- [Daisy is chopping wood]
- Shelby Merrick: Daisy, with an axe?
- Juliette Waybourne: Never know when you can go chop-chop on us.
- Katherine Ann 'Kat' Cabot: Better safe than sorry.
- Daisy Lipenowski: I'm touched.
- [Takes a badly aimed swing]
- Daisy Lipenowski: Didn't need that toe anyway.
- Shelby Merrick: Well, at least you still got eleven toes left.
- Daisy Lipenowski: Oh, you're just jealous.
- Sophie Becker: I've met some tough kids in my life, but Shelby? Man, she's as hard as concrete.
- Peter Scarbrow: Reinforced concrete.
- [After telling Shelby about his step mom]
- Scott Barringer: You're not gonna tell, are you?
- Shelby Merrick: No, I won't tell.
- Scott Barringer: Thanks.
- Shelby Merrick: Yeah, well, we'll see what you say when you get my bill.
- Daisy Lipenowski: Come on, let me see some *feelings*, people. You're eating gruel at a lockdown facility for societal rejects!
- Shelby Merrick: What are you doing in here?
- Daisy Lipenowski: Hiding.
- Shelby Merrick: From what?
- Daisy Lipenowski: Life. What are you doing in here?
- Shelby Merrick: Hiding.
- Daisy Lipenowski: From what?
- Shelby Merrick: Life... By the way, you look really stupid.
- Daisy Lipenowski: Good. I look the way I feel.
- [Juliette has been caught self-injuring]
- Juliette Waybourne: It makes the pain inside me go away. So that I don't have to think about it. It lets it leak out, where everyone else can see it.
- Katherine Ann 'Kat' Cabot: Peter, you know us. You've read our records, our psych-evals, our rap sheets. Where in any of that was there anything that'd possibly make you think that we knew how to bake a cake?
- Sophie Becker: I got every airline schedule in the world, and figured every place they did NOT go, and that's where I went.
- Daisy Lipenowski: They always shred my copy of Mortuary Sciences Monthly. Apparently we're not supposed to think about a career.
- Scott Barringer: I wonder why he didn't leave a note?
- Ezra Friedkin: Yeah, really I'd leave a note.
- Scott Barringer: You'd leave a book.
- Shelby Merrick: Hey... you missed out on a really good time.
- Scott Barringer: Is that why Ezra looks so happy? He took my place?
- Shelby Merrick: You don't know anything.
- [opening credits of episode "Babes in Arms"]
- Anna Akchmatora: The secret of secrets is inside me again.
