Emmett quotes from Switched at Birth

Emmett

I know some people, myself included, may have thought they were a little too young to take this step, but when you find the one who's right for you, you hang on tight because if you don't, they can slip away. To Toby and to Nikki, hang on tight and enjoy the ride.

Emmett

Because all the girls are good with their hands?

Liam

Hi, do you speak English?

Emmett

No, Japanese.

Emmett

(About Liam): Holler if you need me. I can definitely take him.

Liam

Your bodyguard?

Daphne

Pretty much.

Daphne

So, you would never date anyone hearing. No matter what. You're telling me if Brooklyn Decker came onto you you'd say, "Sorry, I'm deaf, you're hearing, this cannot work."

Emmett

Brooklyn Decker? The Sports Illustrated model?

Daphne

That's the one. I knew it.

Emmett

Well, obviously, first, she'd want to make passionate love to me many, many times. But after that? It'd never work. She wouldn't understand my culture, my family, my perspective on the world. And that's everything. Fact it my ideal girlfriend is hot, smart, funny, into motorcycles & deaf. If I actually found her, I'd walk away from Brooklyn Decker in a heartbeat.

Emmett

So have you broken up with him(Liam) yet?

Daphne

Why would I do that?

Emmett

Because you have to. Isn't it like the "girl code" or something.

Daphne

I don't think there's a code that covers this situation.

Emmett

You've already taken Bay's family. You can't take her boyfriend, too.

Daphne

I didn't take her family. And he's not her boyfriend! She broke up with him.

Emmett

So, he's her hand-me-down. Even worse. You want my opinion, Liam is damaged goods. He will always be Bay's.

Emmett

I apologized a thousand times for what happened with Simone. But you keep throwing it back at me.

Bay

I do not.

Emmett

Yeah, you do. And that's why we can never get back together again.

Bay

You will always have me.

Emmett

Seeing you and being with you is the best part of every day.

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.

Bay

(to Emmett after telling him her rape incident) So I guess what I'm saying is both Tank and I made mistakes.

Emmett

Tank was the guy. He should have walked away.

Bay

Yes, he should have. But it's complicated. And you've been in this situation before. You were drunk and made stupid choices and...

Emmett

(stops Bay) So you're saying it was a choice.

Bay

What? No, I'm not saying. Okay, just stop trying to trap me. I'm saying it's not about making Tank out to be some monster.

Emmett

Why are you defending him?

Bay

I'm not.

Emmett

You are. This whole thing has been about convincing me what an upstanding guy Tank is.

Bay

No, that's not true.

Emmett

What I don't understand is what you were doing alone and drunk with your ex-boyfriend in bed.

Bay

I told you. I felt sick and I wanted to lie down.

Emmett

With him?!

Bay

No!

Emmett

So it had nothing to do with our fight last night? Or you being jealous about Skye?

Bay

Was I upset about us? Yes I was and that's probably why I drank too much, but I was not trying to get back at you and I cannot believe that you would even ask me that!

Emmett

Don't get mad at me. I'm not the one that ended up in bed with my ex-boyfriend! The instant Skye kissed me, I pushed her away. The instant.

Bay

This is not about cheating, so.

Emmett

(interrupts Bay) So it's a coincidence that he was your old boyfriend? (walks out of Bay's room)

Bay

No, it wasn't a coincidence. Emmett! (follows Emmett out to the front yard where it's raining) Emmett! Emmett, I'm trying to explain this to you, and all you wanna do is point fingers! Either he's the monster or I am and why can't it be somewhere in the middle?! Why can't you get this?! I'm trying to be honest with you and it's like you prefer your own version of what happened!

Emmett

I wish you had just let it be.

Bay

And live a lie?! If we're gonna get past this, then I need you to know the truth and be okay with it.

Emmett

But I'm not okay with it.

Bay

Then I don't know where that leaves us.

Emmett

Neither do I. (leaves)
