Zoe Hull: I didn't expect to deal with this scenario but there's unfinished business to tend to. You see, it's tempting to let nature run its course. The lungs will fill with blood and the animal will die naturally but with that process comes extreme pain and it just isn't right to let it suffer. Or is it?
-
Jennifer Hull: One thing about going places, you take yourself there too.
-
Kip Quade: Jesus. You hear voices too?
Zoe Hull: Maybe. What's your excuse?
-
Sheriff Tarsy: You're obviously very smart.
Tristan Voy: I don't need some local lard ass cop to tell me that.
Sheriff Tarsy: Fair enough. I could stand to lose a few.
-
Zoe Hull: Now you're the one not talking? What's wrong Tristan? I thought we'd built up a nice rapport. Am I not being polite enough?
-
Tristan Voy: You have no fucking idea who you're dealing with.
Zoe Hull: You know you're right. You actually are starting to slip my mind. I mean, isn't it ironic that after all your goddamn hard work people aren't gonna remember you?
Tristan Voy: No.
Zoe Hull: No? They're gonna remember me.
-
Zoe Hull: That's what this is about?
Kip Quade: Don't.
Zoe Hull: Oh sorry. Have I belittled your motivation for cold-blooded murder?
-
Zoe Hull: Kip, I personally hope you rot in here!
-
Zoe Hull: Mom would know just what to say right now wouldn't she?
Todd Hull: Yes she would. I guess that's why I still talk to her sometimes.
Zoe Hull: Really?
Todd Hull: Yeah.
Zoe Hull: That's creepy.
-
Tristan Voy: You really made a mess of things Zoe. You really pissed in my cornflakes.
-
Tristan Voy: You see, Sheriff, I am an agent of change. Midwife of truth. I am an embodiment.
Sheriff Tarsy: That sounds exhausting.
Tristan Voy: Yeah, that's because it hurts your tiny brain.
Sheriff Tarsy: Then why don't you explain it to me as though I were a small child?
Tristan Voy: You mean the way that I have to explain everything to everyone?
-
Zoe Hull: You were right. I was at war.
-
Tristan Voy: What? Fame doesn't do it for you Zoe?
Zoe Hull: No.
Tristan Voy: Then what does?
Zoe Hull: People, myself included, not dying.
-
Tristan Voy: Miss? Do you believe in God?
Grace Evans: Yes.
Tristan Voy: Huh. Now, why would God let something like this happen to you?
Grace Evans: Free will. God allows the wicked to do their wickedness.
Tristan Voy: Oh yeah? Why is that?
Grace Evans: So they can be judged.
-
Jennifer Hull: You don't really see me anymore sweetie. You just see the monster that got me.
-
Tristan Voy: I'm a numbers guy. Sure I'd like to look at my name atop a scoreboard just like anyone but never, ever let it be said that playing video games leads to real life violence 'cause it doesn't. Sudoku though...
[laughs]
Tristan Voy: Come on, that is scary shit.
-
Lewis Washington: You know, back there with your dad, I totally saved you intentionally.
Zoe Hull: You intentionally saved me?
Lewis Washington: Oh yeah. I mean, it was a calculated risk but...
Zoe Hull: Hm. Really? Explain.
Lewis Washington: Well, number one, you were saying how things are getting more and more heated...
Zoe Hull: Mhm.
Lewis Washington: Between you and your pops lately and uh, and B you know, you were...
Zoe Hull: You started with numbers but continue.
Lewis Washington: And two, you usually come out right when I honk but when you didn't, I assumed that maybe he had you cornered and so
[imitating Zoe's father]
Lewis Washington: I engaged.
Zoe Hull: [amused] You engaged?
Lewis Washington: I mean, that's how he would say it right?
Zoe Hull: [laughing] You engaged. Yeah.
-
Zoe Hull: Hey, we know you're hurting Roy! Okay? We know mommy, she didn't hug you enough and daddy never said he was proud. You don't need to hide behind stereotypical cavemale aggression. Reach out to that scared little boy inside! Don't push him away!
-
Tristan Voy: It's early but not unexpected.
-
Zoe Hull: [Lewis and Zoe are being tailgated] What the hell?
Lewis Washington: Roy Moake and Chaz Harding. Oh, and AJ Turner's in the back! Like an asshole casserole.
Zoe Hull: They're like Roman soldiers who don't realize that their empire is crumbling in just a few days.
Lewis Washington: Or they do realize it and they're totally freaking out.
[Lewis gestures for them to pass on the road]
Lewis Washington: [AJ Turner moons Lewis and Zoe] Okay, that just like, looks like one of their faces.
-
Lewis Washington: Why am I always this guy, huh? Guy who pulls into the dirt.
Zoe Hull: Because you're smart and safe.
Lewis Washington: Yeah, well...
Zoe Hull: And not a total asshole.
Lewis Washington: I hate that about me.
-
Zoe Hull: This is high school. Nothing that happens here matters in the real world.
-
Tristan Voy: I could have the people in this room do the most vile things to each other in order to stay alive and they would. Right? That doesn't interest me. See, humanity is a joke and you, my friend, are the punchline. You are the sheep and I am the shepherd and I am going to lead you off the fucking cliff because you've been begging for it.
Sheriff Tarsy: Tristan, nobody in that room asked for this.
Tristan Voy: Oh, come on! That is fucking bullshit! Okay? Everybody watching is culpable. You all post and you tweet and you share. Everybody jumps at the chance to be both judge and jury but in that system Sheriff, you created a job opening. An executioner. You created me.
-
Tristan Voy: Don't be shy, come in. Join us.
Zoe Hull: You can kill me just as easily right here.
Tristan Voy: I know but that would be terrible for ratings.
-
Tristan Voy: Are we famous yet?
Kip Quade: Not yet.

Mr. Coombs: [reading from Marcel Proust's "In Search of Lost Time"] We believe we can change things in accordance with our desires. We believe it because otherwise we'd see no favorable outcome. We don't think of the outcome which generally comes to pass that we do not succeed in changing things in accordance with our desires, but gradually our desires change. The situation we hoped to change becomes unimportant to us. We've failed to surmount to the obstacle but life took us around it, led us beyond it, and if we turn to gaze into the past, we can barely see it, so imperceptible has it become.
[closes book]
Mr. Coombs: How cool is that?
[no reaction]
Mr. Coombs: And when Marcel Proust finally finished this novel in 1922, he died the very same day.
[still no reaction]
Mr. Coombs: Nothing? Okay.
-
Jennifer Hull: Well, you said yourself I only died once right?
Zoe Hull: Right.
Jennifer Hull: But how many times have I died in your mind since then?
-
Tristan Voy: So join me as we dismantle a bastion of our society in favor of entropy and truth.
-
Zoe Hull: Suddenly you're an expert on death? You only did it once.
Jennifer Hull: [chuckles] Yes. I'm a quick study.
-
Zoe Hull: Really? God! You agree to be part of this and it doesn't even mean anything to you? Couldn't be more disgusting.
Kip Quade: Tristan called it a reckoning.
Zoe Hull: A reckoning? For what? You're a kid!
Kip Quade: I'm eighteen!
Zoe Hull: You're pathetic is what you are.
-
Zoe Hull: [holding back tears] This girl, Amy Kim, died in my arms on a bathroom floor today and all I know about her is that she liked horses... won these little ribbons for jumping them. How did she deserve to go like that?
-
Kip Quade: What did you know about me? Before all this?
Zoe Hull: Nothing. You're incredibly forgettable.
-
Todd Hull: I think we need to see somebody again.
Zoe Hull: And by we, you mean me?
Todd Hull: No, I mean us. Listen. Everyday still feels like it just happened and honey, you're so angry.
Zoe Hull: You're so... not.
Todd Hull: Hey. That look in your eyes. Guys in my unit had that look.
Zoe Hull: Not everything is about the war.
Todd Hull: You're cuttin' yourself off from everything you care about and you're so guarded all the time...
Zoe Hull: Maybe there's a brochure you can hand me so I can go?
Todd Hull: You're seventeen years old and you gave up your cellphone?
Zoe Hull: Well, think of all the money you've saved.
Todd Hull: Take off my jacket. You go out into the world without that jacket. Should be easy for you if you're really not at war.
-
Beat Cop: Hey, we even got a warrant for this?
Sheriff Tarsy: No. No time. That's why I'm calling what you're now doing a wellness check.
Beat Cop: Roger that.
-
Zoe Hull: [after slipping down a home-made slip and slide] Fuck you Becky!
-
Jennifer Hull: Little rough on him, weren't you?
Zoe Hull: It's a boundary issue.
Jennifer Hull: I agree. You have way too many.
-
Tristan Voy: Have you heard of operation T4? Hitler ordered mercy killings on the disabled because he didn't want their deformities to infect the master race. Good thing is... we're not Nazis!
