Daphne quotes from Switched at Birth

Regina

[to Daphne about the security footage on the vandalism of the project] It was Nacho in that video. I'm sure of it. Did you know he was involved. [Daphne ignores the question, but Regina slams her hand on the table to get her attention] Did you know Nacho was responsible for vandalizing the East Riverside project? [Daphne nods her head] Unbelievable. How could you know and not tell me? Is he that important to you? My God. What is it with you and these bad boys? First Jeff, then Jace, and now Nacho?

Daphne

I don't even like Nacho.

Regina

Then why on earth would you cover for him? It doesn't make any sense. [short pause] Unless you were with him. He was talking to somebody in the video, but I couldn't make out who. [Daphne starts to feel guilty] Please tell me it wasn't you. [Daphne says nothing] Oh my God. Do you realize what you've done? How serious this is? [Daphne walks away, but Regina stops her] You are still on probation. Are you trying to land in jail? Everything that we have worked so hard for. All the opportunities that you've been given , and you risk it all for what?! [Regina shakes Daphne] Talk to me, damn it! Do you really have nothing to say?! [Daphne is crying and Regina lets go of her]

Daphne

I have to go to the clinic. [Daphne leaves]

Daphne

Three years ago, I didn't even know you existed.

Bay

And I had never even heard of Carlton.

Daphne

Do you remember that day? The day we first met?

Bay

I was so jealous of you back then.

Daphne

Now you're the one with the perfect boyfriend, perfect life out in L.A.

Bay

Daphne, stop.

Daphne

It's true. You handled everything so well after Angelo died.

Daphne

I know and I'm sorry, but she'll be out there soon.

Emmett

No, she won't. Her probation got extended because she did something stupid which she never would have done if she hadn't been there in the first place.

Daphne

What are you talking about?

Emmett

Everyone has let you off the hook. Your parents, your sister, those stupid cops who believed this stupid lie. Daphne had a meltdown and so the whole family has to pay for it.

Daphne

Stop yelling at me and just talk to me, please.

Emmett

No one's telling you anything because they're afraid you're too fragile, but I'll tell you. There is no forgiving you for this. Ever.

Daphne

I'm so sorry that this turned into such a mess.

Bay

Yeah.

Daphne

That's why I'm not going to Gallaudet. I know that you didn't ask me too. It's just the right thing to do: stay.

Bay

You don't get a medal for not going.

Daphne

I know that. I just wanted to be around for you. For whatever you need.

Bay

Well I need you to not be here right now.

Daphne

What?

Bay

I need you to leave my room.

Daphne

Bay, I...

Bay

No. Seriously.

Why are you sorry? They should be sorry. What? They can't take the extra three minutes it would take to let us catch up?

Daphne

Josh, I got this.

You guys are training to be doctors, right? To heal people would are sick. You guys are douchebags! Did you know that?! Total douchebags!

Regina

I was trying to help.

Daphne

What did you even say to her?

Regina

I just wanted to make sure she was aware of the challenges.

Daphne

You used my deafness?

Regina

She needed to know your story.

Daphne

She knows I'm deaf.

Regina

But she probably doesn't know the extent of the extra challenges you face.

Daphne

She does. She just hates excuses. (sighs) Why didn't you tell me first so that I could've talked you out of it?

Regina

Parents have a right to communicate with their kids' teachers.

Daphne

They're called professors.

Regina

Hey!

Daphne

Mom, I'm not in high school anymore. This is college.

Regina

I know that.

Daphne

Do you know how humiliated I am? You made me look like a baby. An invalid. A disabled whiner.

Regina

All I said was.

Daphne

You never went to college!

Regina

So what?

Daphne

So you don't get it.

Regina

I don't care how many diplomas you get. You are never to speak to me like this. Never.

Daphne

You've never been in this world. You don't know how it works.

Regina

Stop right there before you say something you'll regret. I do not like the person you're becoming. (leaves Daphne's dorm)

[to Daphne about telling on her to Professor Marillo] You ratted me out to Dean Peterson?

Daphne

No, I spoke to Professor Marillo.

Who told Dean Peterson who called my dad! Now he's freaking out! He threatened to pull me from school if I continue with the hunger strike!

Daphne

Iris, I am so sorry. That was not my intention. I was trying to help, I swear.

I didn't ask for your help! Stop trying to be the great white hope, okay?! I can handle this! [leaves]

Bay

[to Daphne] Hey.

Daphne

She's been lying to us. You weren't born with a congenital defect. You ruined your heart from cocaine abuse. And your mom didn't die from cancer. She's in prison.

Bay

What are you talking about?

Daphne

She's been arrested too. Twice, for DUIs.

First of all, I was barely stoned. I had, like, two bumps.

Daphne

You're defending driving high?

The cop asked me out after he booked me. He was just looking for a reason to pull me over. And my mom may be in jail, but she's still dead to me.

Daphne

Sounds to me like you didn't deserve to be on the transplant list.

Who are you to judge me?! You don't know anything about me! A Mission Hills girl telling me what I did wrong?

Daphne

You do not get a pass because you had a hard life. I had a hard life too.

Bay

[to Daphne] Hold on a second. [to Ally] Just tell us the truth, okay? Did you lie about everything? The connection that you felt with Angelo. Were you making all of that up?

What do you want me to say?

Bay

[on tears] I lost my biological dad the day that I got switched. And then I lost him again the day that he died. And thanks to you, I just lost him for a third time.

I said what you wanted to hear. [Ally leaves the parlor and Daphne comforts Bay as she cries]
