Regina quotes from Switched at Birth

Angelo

[to Regina] You lied to me.

Regina

What are you talking about? (looks at paper on her lap) What is this?

Angelo

That's a DNA test. It's proof that Daphne is not my daughter. Green eyes and freckles. You really think I'm stupid, huh?

Regina

We have been over this a million times. I didn't have an affair. Daphne is your daughter. Where is this coming from? My word has always been good enough for you. Wait. Is it because the doctors are saying she's deaf?

Angelo

That's ridiculous.

Regina

Look, I know that you are scared. I am too.

Angelo

It's not because she's deaf. I don't wanna raise another man's child.

Regina

Is this test even real? I mean maybe you're making it up so you will have an excuse to walk away.

Angelo

Gina.

Regina

You know what? You are off the hook.

Angelo

I just want the truth!

Regina

I'm serious! Go home, pack your stuff, and get out. We'll be better off without you.

Angelo

Fine! [goes to hospital elevator]

Regina

Hey. You're home.

Daphne

Where's the lemon cake?

Regina

The what?

Daphne

It was in a blue container. I was saving it.

Regina

Oh, sweetie. It was getting so packed in there. I started to throw some stuff out.

Daphne

Why would you do that?

Regina

I'm sorry. We can make more.

Daphne

No. I don't have the recipe. Now it's gone forever.

Regina

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Talk to me. How was the trip?

Daphne

Stop trying to pretend like everything's fine. Nothing is fine.

Regina

Daphne, I'm trying to get through this just like you.

Daphne

You really want to know how my trip went?

Regina

Yeah.

Daphne

I got high. Okay? I got very high. What are you gonna do about it?

Regina

Daphne, I did not kill Angelo. We had an argument. People argue.

Daphne

I was there. I know what you said.

Regina

Do you honestly think I wanted him to drive off and have an accident? I am suffering just as much as you are.

Daphne

ARE YOU? Because all I see is you working with Chip Coto and lying to me and taking all of this money.

Regina

How did I lie to you?

Daphne

You've always lied to me! Ever since you found out about the switch and didn't tell me.

Regina

Oh my God. Are we back to this again?

Regina

(to Daphne) Nacho Rivera? He threw the brick? And now you're seeing him? Seriously? Are you that mad at me?

John

What's she mad at you for?

Daphne

Take your pick: that she's in business with Chip Coto or that she pulled a gun on me.

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]

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)

Bay

Tess has a boyfriend, a pretty serious one, I think she loves him a lot. But I guess last night she got really drunk, like smashed and when she woke up this morning, she found that she had, had sex with someone else, but she doesn't remember it. Nothing, black-out. Does that found as cheating? I mean, does she have to tell her boyfriend?

Regina

Well, that's awful.

Bay

That she cheated.

Regina

That she was raped.

[to Regina] I was 4 when I was called the N-word for the first time.

Regina

You tell your story. People will listen.
