- Hannah Baker: Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to watch someone? To invade someone's privacy? Do you wonder what secrets you might uncover? What skeletons you might turn up? Well, for the next one, you are about to find out. A4 on your maps, kids. Now don't say you're too afraid or that you don't feel comfortable doing this kind of thing because guess what? Yes, you spy on people everyday. We are always watching someone. Following someone. And being followed. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram: they've made us a society of stalkers and we love it.
- Hannah Baker: [to Clay] I can't believe you don't like them.
- Clay Jensen: Look, I'm just saying, I don't... Okay, vampires, aliens, even werewolves, I get it. I get the motivation, I get the metaphors, right? But, like, zombies? They're just... they're just stupid.
- Hannah Baker: So you hate zombies? You're a zombie racist.
- Clay Jensen: Just, like, I don't understand 'em. What's their story? They don't want to take over the world, kill their masters, anything interesting. They're not good or evil. They're just hungry for brains. I mean, like, brains.
- Hannah Baker: Well, thank you for walking me home and for destroying all future zombie media for me forever.
- Clay Jensen: Anytime.
- Olivia Baker: [during a school meeting] That girl's name is Hannah.
- Principal Gary Bolan: Mrs. Baker. It's so good to see you. We didn't know you'd be joining us.
- Olivia Baker: Well, I'm still a member of the school community, right? And if you want to know why I suggest you ask your own children or take a look at the walls of the restrooms they use every day. "Bitch." "Slut." "Whore." "Die." Die! These are the words carved on the walls of the bathrooms they use and your kids did the carving.
- Tyler Down: [to Tyler] I'm not a criminal.
- Clay Jensen: You are. And you're a creep.
- Tyler Down: I just took pictures.
- Clay Jensen: You humiliated her.
- Tyler Down: I didn't mean to.
- Clay Jensen: You ruined her.
- Tyler Down: I loved her! And I know I barely knew her, but I... I saw her. Most people, you put a camera on them and they smile. They pose. They basically fake it. You don't see them, you see their mask. Whenever my camera was on Hannah, she was different. Like, real, and I fell in love with that. Real. So, yeah, I took pictures of her, but that's because girls like that don't hang out with the yearbook guy. With me.
- Courtney Crimsen: [to Hannah] What did you do?
- Hannah Baker: Whoa, what's wrong?
- [Courtney shows her the picture Tyler took of them]
- Hannah Baker: No, I talked to Tyler this morning. He told me he got rid of all of them.
- Courtney Crimsen: Well, he lied. Group-texted half the school.
- Hannah Baker: Okay, look, calm down. No one can tell that's us.
- Courtney Crimsen: You don't think they'll figure it out? I shouldn't even be seen talking to you right now.
- Hannah Baker: Because of a stupid picture?
- Courtney Crimsen: Come on, Hannah. You of all people should know what a picture can do to a person's life.
- Hannah Baker: Me of all people? I told you...
- Courtney Crimsen: Just stay away from me, okay?
- [walks away from Hannah]
- Clay Jensen: [after Marcus catches Clay outside of Tyler's window] What are you doing out here?
- Marcus Cole: Oh, I heard you, man. The car alarm. I live right over there. Besides, you're not the first one to come look at the famous window. We all did it and we all took our shot.
- Clay Jensen: Wait, "we"? Are you on the...? Why? What did you do?
- Marcus Cole: Who knows? Okay? I didn't listen. I just started each tape till I heard who it was, figured out who came after me, and passed 'em on.
- Clay Jensen: But what about the second set? Hannah said that if we don't listen...
- Marcus Cole: Hannah said. Dude, Hannah's dead. I'm sorry, but it's true. Nothing anyone did to her was any different than what happens to every girl at every high school. She just wanted attention and leaving those tapes... that's a fucked-up thing to do. No one deserves that. Except maybe that psycho.
- Clay Jensen: Tyler Down?
- Marcus Cole: Dude, listen, take your shot and pass those things on, man. You'll feel better.
- Tyler Down: Jesus, Clay, what are you doing in here?
- Clay Jensen: Just seeing what our prize-winning photographer is working on.
- [looks at Tyler's photos]
- Clay Jensen: Interesting stuff.
- Tyler Down: Well, no, don't. This is all for yearbook only. You're not supposed to be here.
- Clay Jensen: Really? You're gonna call me out on trespassing? I heard your tape.
- Tyler Down: And throwing a rock through my window isn't enough?
- Clay Jensen: I didn't throw one.
- Tyler Down: So, what do you want, then?
- Clay Jensen: I want you to delete the photos you took. Destroy the negatives, whatever or I'm turning you in.
- Tyler Down: Turning me in? What, are you gonna turn everybody in? Like Justin and Alex?
- Clay Jensen: You stalked her.
- Tyler Down: I'm the student life photographer, okay? I stalk everybody. It's my job.
- Clay Jensen: That means you stand outside everyone's windows?
- Hannah Baker: Like I said, we're a society of stalkers. We're all guilty. We all look. We all think things we're ashamed of. The only difference is, Tyler, you got caught.
- Hannah Baker: You made me paranoid, Tyler, so now I'm giving that to you. Maybe I'll never know why you did what you did, but I can make you understand how it felt to be me. That's why I'm outside your window, Tyler. And after people hear this, I bet I won't be the only one.
- Hannah Baker: Thing is even though Tyler stopped coming around, I never stopped feeling afraid. So what could I do after that? First the school, then my house, even my own bedroom. Nowhere was safe. You took all that away.
