Aah!

Every time I walk out the door, it's gonna be, "Oh, what a beautiful day. Hey, that's where Deputy Shelby bled to death".
[discussing Bradley Martin] What is she like?
She's only the prettiest girl in school. And the most popular. And she's nice, so you can't even hate her.
[to Norman] Norman, did you know that having sex with a woman literally affects her physical being? There are chemicals that are released in a woman's body during and after sex that actually alter her. It's like a science experiment. It affects her mind, okay? That's dangerous stuff. That's not something you want to be dabbling around in for fun.
SSummer
[gossiping in the girl's room] She would never have sex with someone like that.
JJenna
Ugh, no way. She can't be that stupid.
[emerging from a stall] Well, maybe you better talk to her. Because she did.
SSummer
I don't think you know what we're talking about.
Actually, I don't think you know what you're talking about. Bradley had sex with Norman. Sex, as in carnal-back-and-forth. Maybe she has sex with all her pets, I don't know. But you should really get your facts straight before you shoot your mouth off with your demeaning opinions. And you've got toilet paper on your shoe.
Well, I, um, I see that there's a seat open on the city planning committee, and I wanted you to put me forward for it. Maybe I can influence their decision.
Why would I do that?
Because I thought you would.
Why?
Because because of what we've been through. Because we know things about each other.
We don't owe each other anything. We're not friends. You don't know me in any social sense, other than as your sheriff. Don't assume differently just 'cause I was kind enough to save your ass once.
Excuse me, but weren't you saving your own ass at the time? I mean, the fact is that your deputy was doing all of this right under your nose, and you knew nothing about it. I mean, that's not how you rewrote the story.
Are you trying to say that you have something on me? Is that it? 'Cause if you did, that really wouldn't be good for you, okay? I mean, I might have to burn you down to the ground, you know? Don't ever try to intimidate me. Don't walk into my office and ask me for political favors based on nothing. You and I have no connection. We're not on the same playing field. Don't ever assume that we are. You don't know what you're doing. Go home, Mrs. Bates.

I tried to tell him that he couldn't leave campus, and he was practically shaking. I took his arm to lead him back in, and he pulled it away pretty violently.
Are you supposed to be putting your hands on the students?
JAJake Abernathy
Okay, you want to play? We'll play.
I'm pretty used to things not turning out the way I expect and making the best of it.
I had an idea when I moved here of how life was gonna be. And, oh, okay, sure, while life can be disappointing, no one prepared me for the colossal frickin' face-dive off a cliff that living in this crazy-ass town really is.
I'm gonna have your house patrolled on the half hour. Let me know if anything else happens.
Oh, like what? Like he digs up a couple more dead people and puts them in my bed?
Yeah, like that. 'Night, Norma.
[Emma looks forlornly at a banner for the winter formal dance]
You look kinda pathetic.
Really. I was just thinking how glad I am that I don't have to get all dressed up and go. What a pain.
You should go.
No one asked me. I dunno, it doesn't do anything for my pathetic quotient.
You want me to go with you?
No. That's silly. That's more than silly. That's tragically lame.
Oh, I don't mind. I'd like to.
Oh, please. You're just asking because you're my friend and you feel sorry for me.
[smiles] Well, yeah.
[smiles] Okay, jerk-off, I'll go with you.
MOTHER!!
What?!
I need some black socks.
Well did you check in your drawer?
[sarcastically] Oh, it never occurred to me to look in my drawer! Hmm! Well what am I supposed to do!? I can't go to this stupid dance wearing white socks with a suit!!
Well I don't know where your stupid black socks are! It's not my fault you decided to go last minute to a dance! What am I supposed to do, guard some black socks!?
I-I know I've said a lot of things, but this is the truth. And I want someone to know the truth about me in this world, and I'd like that to be you, if you're okay with that.
Yeah, of course I am.
My brother used to make me have sex with him when I was, like, 13. And it went on until he moved out. Oh, I know I shouldn't have told you. I shouldn't have told you. It's just you're the person that I'm closest to in this world.
I understand, mother.
When I realized just how messed up that was, I couldn't tell anyone. We had so much trouble. There was no money. My mom was already checked out of her body. My dad was insane. He was so violent. I knew that if I told my dad, he would kill my brother, so I never told. One day, when my dad was supposed to be at work, my brother was doing things to me, and I heard the front door open and it was my dad, home unexpectedly. And I was so scared that I jumped up so fast. And the hot iron fell off the ironing board, and it hit my leg.
I'm so sorry, mother.
Anyway, you know, it-- it doesn't really matter, right? It was a long time ago.
