- Jessica Davis: Mrs. Antilly, I'm sure Hillary is awesome, but...
- Hannah Baker: If we're gonna be great friends, you should know my name is Hannah.
- Jessica Davis: What did I call you?
- Hannah Baker: Hillary.
- Jessica Davis: That's not your name?
- Hannah Baker: No. Hannah.
- Jessica Davis: Crap. I already got your best friend necklace engraved with "Hillary."
- Hannah Baker: Any students named Hillary we can set up with Jennifer?
- Jessica Davis: Jessica.
- Hannah Baker: Sorry. Jezebel.
- Jessica Davis: No problem, Harriet.
- Hannah Baker: Ooh, can I actually get a Jezebel? She'd be an amazing friend.
- Hannah Baker: You need friends. Even just hot chocolate friends. Especially when your life goes to shit. Day after day, drink after drink, we lifted our mugs and we lifted each other.
- Hannah Baker: Friendship. It's complicated. But don't worry. You won't go through this alone. That's not fun. Trust me. I've been there. Now, it won't always be easy. It might even hurt a bit or a bit more than a bit. That depends on you, but fear not. We'll get through this. Step by step, tape by tape. You and me. Together. And don't forget there are others.
- Hannah Baker: Welcome back. So glad you're still listening. Are you having fun? You must be wondering who's next, and why. Is it you? What did you do? How did you end up on these tapes? Maybe you did something cruel or maybe you just watched it happen. Maybe you didn't even realize you were being cruel. Maybe you didn't do anything at all. And maybe you should have. Too late. I think you know exactly what you did and after these tapes, you'll never forget it. I know I won't. Oh, and, uh, by the way I'm still dead.
- Hannah Baker: What? Feeling paranoid? On edge? Yeah. High school does that to a person. You never really know who you can trust and who you can't.
- Hannah Baker: Three drinks against the world. Two hot chocolates, and whatever the hell Alex was drinking.
- Hannah Baker: I'm not great at math, but here's one thing I learned for sure: one plus one plus one is not a simple equation. Alex was the first to stop coming. He found some other friends. He traded up. We were still friendly in the halls, but that's it. Then it was down to Jessica and me, but then, Jessica stopped coming, too. We all went our separate ways or so I thought.
- Jessica Davis: I know the rumors, Hannah.
- Hannah Baker: Well, you can't know rumors. You can hear them, but you can't know them.
- Jessica Davis: [to Justin] What did you tell him?
- Justin Foley: What did I tell who?
- Jessica Davis: Mr. Porter! What did you tell him yesterday? Why haven't you been at school?
- Justin Foley: I just needed a day off to chill.
- Jessica Davis: The day after you talk to Porter, you need a day off? You're not telling me something!
- Justin Foley: What would I not be telling you?
- Jessica Davis: Clay has the tapes now.
- Justin Foley: I know. Don't worry about it.
- Jessica Davis: He's not like the rest of us. He could say something.
- Justin Foley: He won't talk. We'll make sure of it.
- Jessica Davis: You could lose your shot at a scholarship.
- Justin Foley: We'll deal with it, okay? Just, just chill! How far is he, anyway?
- Jessica Davis: He's not there yet if that's what you mean. Justin? If Hannah was lying, why are you here?
- Hannah Baker: [about Clay's food] That shit'll kill you, you know.
- Clay Jensen: You got a salad from McDonald's, the people who make the Big Mac.
- Hannah Baker: Are you fat-shaming my salad?
- Clay Jensen: You called my lunch a murderer.
- Hannah Baker: Thank you.
- Clay Jensen: Anytime.
- Jessica Davis: [to Hannah] How could you betray me like that?
- Hannah Baker: Like what? What did I do?
- Jessica Davis: Is it you and Alex now?
- Hannah Baker: No! How could you even...? Of course not! He likes you, you like him. I'm the one who's out.
- Jessica Davis: Yeah, and that pissed you off, didn't it?
- Hannah Baker: A little. I mean... It made me sad.
- Jessica Davis: Why didn't you just tell me?
- Hannah Baker: Maybe I was afraid of something like this.
- Jessica Davis: Something like what?
- Hannah Baker: You needed it to be my fault, so it was my fault. Jess. You know this doesn't mean anything.
- Jessica Davis: Don't act innocent.
- Hannah Baker: But I am. I had nothing to do with this. Alex did this on his own.
- Jessica Davis: He just broke up with me on his own.
- Hannah Baker: I didn't know he broke up with you.
- Jessica Davis: I'll just say this: enjoy it. 'Cause you will, won't you? 'Cause that's what sluts do.
- Hannah Baker: Fuck you.
- [Jessica slaps Hannah]
- Clay Jensen: [to Jessica] Why did you and Hannah fight? I don't get it.
- Jessica Davis: Of course you don't. You're a guy.
- Clay Jensen: You guys were friends.
- Jessica Davis: We weren't friends. Friends tell the truth, friends don't turn on each other. Hannah's a user and a liar. You can't believe anything that she says. Not a thing. I mean, what she said, on the tapes, about us and Monet's, she's the one who stopped coming, not me. She's the one who ended our friendship and she knew it. She's a liar. Was a liar.
