- Clay Jensen: Infinity. It's funny we have a word for that concept, but there's no way we can understand it.
- Jessica Davis: [to Alex] Listen to me, you asshole. How could you do what you did? After Hannah, I needed you. You were the only one I could trust, who understood what I was going through, and you were gonna fucking leave me behind? That's messed up, Alex. It's messed up.
- Hannah Baker: [When Clay plans to release the tapes on the Internet] Don't do this.
- Clay Jensen: I'm doing it for you. I'm trying to make things right.
- Hannah Baker: You know it won't.
- Clay Jensen: What else can I do?
- Hannah Baker: You can help Jessica and Justin. You can figure out those pictures.
- Clay Jensen: I don't care about the fucking pictures. I care about the truth. I care about you.
- Hannah Baker: Then don't do it. You know I don't want you to.
- Clay Jensen: Well, maybe you don't get a say anymore. People did terrible things to you and they're getting away with it. You left those tapes for a reason.
- Hannah Baker: What reason?
- Clay Jensen: To make people face what they did and admit it and understand how fucked up it was.
- Hannah Baker: Do you think I wanted revenge?
- Clay Jensen: I don't know what you wanted because you left a huge fucking mess. I'm the only one interested in cleaning it up.
- Hannah Baker: It wasn't revenge. I had to tell my own story. I wanted people to know what happened so maybe it wouldn't happen again.
- Clay Jensen: Exactly. So everyone should hear it.
- Hannah Baker: No, not like this.
- Clay Jensen: You don't get to decide. You left.
- Alex Standall: I'm broken, okay? I'm fucking broken. That's how it's gonna be. Why don't you just live with it?
- Peter Standall: Alex, you're not broken.
- Alex Standall: How the fuck would you know? I've seen you twice since I got out of the hospital.
- Peter Standall: I had school.
- Alex Standall: I had fucking school, too! And I had friends. Now I don't have anything, except all of you standing around feeling sorry for me, not fucking knowing what to say.
