Jules Vaughn quotes from Euphoria

Jules

How you doing?

Rue

I'm good.

Jules

When did you relapse?

Rue

Just fuckin' weed, Jules.

Jules

Like, when did you relapse?

Rue

You want me to be honest?

Jules

Yeah.

Rue

The night you left.

Rue

Jules? I'm, uh, I'm sorry about that. I didn't mean to be mean. I don't know, I'm just having a tough time, you know? I just really miss you.

Jules

I really miss you, too.

Rue

I know that I never, uh, I never really said it before, but I want to be with you.

Rue

[V.O.] It was the first day of school after the new year. And I finally had everything I’d ever wished for. [to Jules] You know you’re like a dream?

Jules

[chuckles] I didn’t know you were such a romantic, Rue.

Rue

What can I say?

Rue

[V.O.] Oh, fuck… I completely forgot he goes to our school.

Jules

I love you.

Rue

[V.O.] If this asshole says anything about doing drugs, I will literally slit his throat in the quad.

Jules

Rue?

Rue

Yeah?

Jules

I said, “I love you.”

Rue

I love you, too.

Jules

You kinda checked out for a second.

Rue

[V.O.] Please, God, do not fuck up my life.

Yo, Rue.

Rue

Hey.

What’s going on?

Jules

Hi.

Rue

Nothing.

Jules

I’m Jules.

Rue

Sorry, this is Jules.

Hey, I'm Elliot. Nice to meet you.

Rue

Sorry, introductions are usually very overwhelming and… debilitating for me… at least.

Jules

...Uh, so, how do you know Elliot?

We met on New Year’s.

Rue

[beat; chuckles] Oh shit, yeah. That was it, New Year’s. That’s… That’s where we met. [pause] Jules is my girlfriend.

Wow… I didn’t know you were, um…

Jules

In a relationship?

Rue

[V.O.] The other thing I wish I could mention is I sort of spent the last few days hanging out with Elliot. Which was cool ’cause he makes a ton of money selling music stems online, and we bought a bunch of drugs.

Jules

Um… it was nice to meet you, and I’ll see you later, Rue.

Nice to meet you.

Rue

[to Jules] I love you. Bye.

Rue

[V.O.] Fuck. Was it just me or was that super awkward?

That was awkward.

Rue

[V.O.] Now, at the time, I didn’t know how much the Elliot thing upset Jules. But I never thought that Jules was like clingy or jealous, so I didn’t think it’d be a big deal.

Jules

It is a big deal.

Rue

Why?

Jules

The fact that you’re even asking me to explain it to you is kind of an even bigger deal.

Rue

Oh, I don’t understand how such a small fucking thing has become such a big fucking thing.

Jules

'Cause it hurt my feelings.

Rue

Why?

Jules

'Cause I can tell you have a crush on him.

Rue

I do not have a fucking crush on him.

Jules

Then why else would you forget meeting him? Like, “Oh, that’s right. New Year’s.”

Rue

Jules, it’s not like that.

Jules

“Silly me.”

Rue

It’s not like that.

Jules

Well, I hope not. That would really suck.

Rue

I’m sorry.

Jules

Um, I gotta be home in 15 minutes, or else I’m gonna get grounded for another two weeks. I’ll see ya later, Rue.

Rue

I get you in trouble?

Jules

Yeah, kinda.

True or dare?

Jules

Dare.

Yo, Jules. I dare you to take a piss in the middle of the street.

Jules

Alright. [gets out vehicle] Sure, yes! [Elliot chuckles] Gender-fuck me, please!

Wow!

Rue

Jules!

Wow!

Jules

Okay, all right!

Rue

Oh, shit!

Ohh.

Rue

Oh. Okay, Jules. [Elliot chuckles]

[laughs when a vehicle is oncoming] Hey! Car! [motorist honks]

Jules

Oh... my God. [turns to face Elliot's vehicle]

[repeatedly] No...!

Rue

[repeatedly] Not on the car...!

Jules

Does that feel okay?

Rue

Yeah, it feels amazing. [V.O.] I don't think you understand how much I love Jules. The only problem is, I took so many narcos, I literally can't feel a fucking thing.

Jules

Is there anything you want me to, like... do differently?

Rue

Nah, nah. It's amazing.

Jules

Rue, you keep saying that.

Rue

I know, 'cause this is amazing.

Rue

You don’t fucking recognize me?! Well, neither do fucking I! I DON'T FUCKING RECOGNIZE ME EITHER! Where did you put it?! [groans] You wish I was different?! So do I! You fucking hate me?! SO DO I!

Rue

Tell me where they are, Mom! Fuck! [screams] Where did you fucking put them?! I know they’re fucking in here, Mom! I know they’re in here! What did you do with them?! What did you do?! Where the fuck are they? What did you do with them?

Jules

We flushed them down the toilet.

Leslie

You look embarrassed, Rue. You embarrassed ’cause Jules just heard everything you said? Don’t cry. Own that shit. Own what you just said.

Rue

[whispers] Fuck you. [chuckles] Oh, okay. I see what the fuck is going on here. Well, first thing’s first, Elliot here is a fucking addict... so if he tells you anything fucking different, he’s a liar and a fucking snake. Fuck you!

Jules

He cares about you–

Rue

This doesn’t fucking concern you, Jules.

Jules

Yes, it does–

Rue

No the fuck it doesn’t!

Jules

Yes, it does.

Rue

How?!

Jules

‘Cause I don’t want you to kill yourself.

Rue

You’re a fucking rat!

Jules

You were lying to me.

Rue

Yeah, so you go tell my fuckin’ mom?!

Jules

I didn’t know what else to do.

Rue

And why the fuck would you say anything? [scoffs] You are fucking dead to me.

Jules

You don't mean that.

Rue

I fucking mean every fucking word. You're dead to me, Jules.

Jules

I don't believe you.

Rue

You and me? We're fucking done. There is nothing fucking there any more. Nothing... fucking... there. You know, I got a lot of regrets in my life. But gotta tell you, Jules. Meeting you... has gotta be at the top of my fucking list. [pause; Jules tears up] Oh, now you wanna fucking cry? Now you wanna fucking cry? Yeah, you’re a fucking vampire. You just go around fucking sucking the fucking spirit out of everyone! You like that shit... makes you feel good.

Jules

You know that’s not true.

Rue

It is fucking true. It’s all about fucking Jules, right? And you don’t know what the fuck you’re doing. You just act all fucking innocent, like you’re this fucking sweet little angel. This innocent, sweet, little fucking angel who doesn’t know what the fuck they’re doing. You know what the fuck you’re doing!

Jules

I love you.

Rue

No the fuck you don’t. You love being loved! You’re a fucking greedy whore who just likes sucking the life out of people. And it fucking hurts, Jules!

Jules

I love you.

Rue

No, you don’t. Stop saying that! You don’t love me! You fucking left me… when I fucking needed you. You fucking left me... when I was at my fucking lo... [breathes heavily] You fucking left me at my fucking lowest! And a real fucking friend, someone who fucking loves you, wouldn’t do some shit like that, Jules!

Jules

I love you and I wanna help you.

Rue

If you wanna help me, uh, you can honestly–You can just stay out of my fucking life. Forever. [chuckles] That would be great because, honestly, looking at you makes me physically fucking ill!

Jules

Hello?

Nate

Look, I know you probably don’t wanna talk to me, but I'm about to be outside your house and I really need to speak to you.

Jules

I don’t care.

Jules

No, thank you.

Nate

It’s good to see you. I know you hate me. I’ve done a lot of shitty things, but um… No, this isn’t one of ’em.

Jules

What do you want?

Nate

First… to apologize.

Jules

I’m not interested.

Nate

I know, but you are gonna be interested in the second thing. Unfortunately for you, you’re gonna have to hear my apology first. Uh… I’m sorry. For everything that I’ve done to you. [pause] You didn't deserve it. I was, uh… I was trying to protect somebody that didn’t deserve to be protected. [beat] If I could take it all back, I would, but… I did what I did. I found out about you and my dad from… from this disc. [holds up a CD case and gives it to Jules] Yeah, he, uh–He secretly records every encounter he has, and he’s been doing it, well… Well, honestly, as long as I can remember. I stole it from him, and he had a–He had a mental breakdown, and he moved out of the house, so I thought that I would, uh… I thought I’d give it to you, and, you know, you can do with it as you please.

Jules

So, there was a camera?

Nate

Yes.

Jules

And you’ve seen it?

Nate

[nods] Yeah.

Jules

Have a lot of people seen it?

Nate

No, no.

Jules

Does he know you’re giving this to me?

Nate

No. No, he would fucking kill me.

Jules

Is this, like, the only copy, or… is it other places?

Nate

I mean, it’s the only one that I know of, yeah.

Jules

…Why are you giving this to me?

Nate

Honestly, the answer is too stupid and simple. I think it’s better if we just keep it a mystery.

Jules

What, did you become, like, a good person?

Nate

[shakes his head] Absolutely not, no. I mean, you should’ve seen what I had to do to get it.

Jules

[pause] I came out here with a box cutter in my sleeve. You know, in case there was a chance I might have to slit your throat. [Nate just grins] That’s how little I trust you. Well… thank you.

Nate

You’re welcome.

Jules

...Um, I’m gonna go.

Nate

Okay. [grabs Jules' hand] Hey, um… For what it’s worth… everything I ever said was true.

Jules

[beat; shrugs] Same here.

Jules

I know that you're probably still angry with me, but I wanna tell you that I love you and I miss you... so much.

Rue

[V.O.] Jules was my first love. I’d like to remember it that way. I don’t know if that’s actually true, though. I think I was high for too much of it. I know it wasn’t easy for her... and I hope she forgives me. I stayed clean through the rest of the school year. I wish I could say that was a decision I made. In some ways, it was just easier. I don’t know if this feeling will last forever... but I am trying. I remember Ali said, “The thought of maybe being a good person, is what keeps me trying to be a good person.” Maybe there’s something to that.
