Quotes 

• Elena : Make love to me.

  Peyton : [caught off guard]  What? I thought you wanted to wait.

  Elena : Peyton... make love to me.

  Peyton : I want to, Elena. I really... really want to. But you must know that once we go there... once we cross that line, there's no going back.

  Elena : [after a pause]  I don't want to go back.

• Elena : How did you know you were gay?

  Peyton : How'd you know you were straight?

• Peyton : I really like you. More than I should. So... we don't, you know, have to talk about it or anything. I mean, I'm fine with that. I just think that if we just... don't spend time...

  Elena : No! No! No, god, Peyton. No! I don't want to not spend time!

  Peyton : But, you just heard what I said...

  Elena : Yes, but we... we need to be in each other's lives! I just found you! You're my absolute best friend. And I know we can get around this. I don't want to not be with you. And you can have *all* of me. All of it except for that. All of me.

  Peyton : Okay, just so you know... 'that' is a big deal for a lesbian. I mean, at least in the beginning.

  Elena : I just... Peyton, let's have some wine. Let's make a plan. Just please, please don't take you away from me.

• Elena : [kissing Peyton]  Are you afraid to be alone with me?

  Peyton : [breathlessly]  Yes.

  Elena : Seriously?

  Peyton : Seriously.

• Elena : I just need you to know that none... *none* of what we had was a lie. It was the truest thing I have ever known.

• Elena : I feel like it's about to devastate everything I know. What am I doing? Look at all the people I'm hurting.

  Tyler : You can't rewrite the past, but you can reframe the present. What a gift you have been given! I have never seen you so alive and joyous and in touch and full of passion! Peyton makes you breathe!

• Tyler : What's with the shimmering new and improved you, huh?

  Elena : Oh, Tyler... I'm in love. For the first time... for the only time in my life. I am in love!

• Elena : He hasn't touched me since we've been together. You know that, right?

  Peyton : Oh, my god. What was I thinking? Who can think? You know what? You're gonna have to do it eventually. You'll end up doing it, right?

  Elena : It means *nothing*.

  Peyton : No... You'll make *us* mean nothing.

• Elena : [to Peyton]  This entire last year was never supposed to happen. It was never even imaginable to me. I fell in love with you... a woman.

• Elena : Sometimes I think I just got married to rebel against my parents. My father's Indian. He's very old school. You know, stern but quiet hand. My mother's from Spain. She's very... Catholic.

  Peyton : Now that's a lethal combination.

  Elena : It is! It really is.

• Elena : I don't know. Maybe some of us are not meant to have a soulmate like Tyler thinks.

  Peyton : Well... I don't know about soulmates, but... Y'know, with Margaret... after that?

  [faux southern accent] 

  Peyton : Frankly my dear, I don't care if I never see another lesbian for as long as I live... I'm not kidding.

• Elena : I never even kissed a girl. With my upbringing, that never really occurred to me. I guess I'm just a square.

  Peyton : Or maybe you're just straight.

• Elena : You're not the only one with feelings. I'm so confused, Peyton. Can't we just agree to call it a serious crush?

• Barry : Maybe I am clueless, but I know one thing if I know nothing else. You are not a lesbian.

  Elena : You're right, I'm not.

• Barry : Don't get me started on how selfish this is. Nash needs us.

  Elena : You're right, Nash needs us. He needs us. The *real* us. The *best* of us. My god, Barry, I'm done lying. To him, to you, to myself. This has nothing to do with Peyton. This is my decision about my son and my life. I should have been done with this charade years ago.

  Barry : A charade? Are you serious? You got on this thing from the very start!

  Elena : And *that* was selfish. Being here, and not really being inside it with you. I'm done with this Barry. And if it's selfish, so be it.

  Barry : It *is* selfish.

  Elena : Barry, I'm done with this.

  Barry : Elena, I...

  Elena : I'm done.

• Tori : A normal person engages in the pursuit of kissing a mere twenty-one thousand plus or minus minutes in their sorry little lives. Which boils down roughly to mere months. So, who cares whose kissing whom?

  Elena : Really?

  Tori : Really! I mean, over the lifespan of an average eighty-year-old, they're only having sex six times a year. I mean, we take more baths and we eat more chocolate bars, for gosh sakes!

• Elena : [to Tori and Nash]  You know, I think you two are what Tyler calls Twin Flames. I do! And you found each other so early in life!

  Nash : Oh, ma, come on!

  Elena : Think of all the time left you have to bicker, you two!

• Elena : I wasn't looking for this. God knows I don't really understand it. And I certainly didn't realize what was happening until it was too late.

  Nash : You *are* going to tell Dad.

  Elena : I certainly planned on telling him before you!

• Peyton : You don't get it. I am... too far in.

  Elena : I understand that you're scared... and all the reasons you don't trust. But don't you know by now, Peyton, this is what I want?
