- Evan Hansen: Dear Evan Hansen: Today is going to be an amazing day and here's why. Because, today, all you have to do is be yourself. But also confident. That's important. And interesting. Easy to talk to. Approachable. But mostly be yourself. That's the big, that's number one. Be yourself. Be true to yourself.
- Evan Hansen: [from trailer] If you knew who I am, how broken I am.
- Heidi Hansen: [from trailer] I already know you. And I love you.

- Cynthia Murphy: When Connor entered seventh grade, all of my girlfriends said, 'Here it comes, Bar Mitzvah season. He's gonna have a different party every Saturday.' And Larry was so excited to take him shopping. He dragged him to Brooks Brothers, and they picked out a suit, some shirts and this tie. He looked... just like his dad. He never got invited to a single party.
- Zoe Murphy: What about your dad?
- Evan Hansen: My dad. Um, he lives in Colorado, so... He left when I was seven.
- Zoe Murphy: That sucks. Mine died when I was one, so... I sort of win.
- Evan Hansen: Would you want to sign my cast? Uh, you could, you could be the first.
- Jared Kalwani: Why would I do that?
- Evan Hansen: Well, I just... I thought, um, because we're friends and...
- Jared Kalwani: We're family friends, Evan. That's an entirely different thing. Please respect that.
- [Evan arrives at the Murphy's house after his letter is posted online. Larry and Cynthia are arguing faintly in distance]
- Zoe Murphy: Things really aren't good here.
- Evan Hansen: I know. I just-- I had to come.
- Cynthia Murphy: Where did they even-- How did they get Connor's note?
- Larry Mora: I don't know.
- Cynthia Murphy: Like, did they hack our computers? They hacked our emails? Did-- these people are adults. Did you see their pictures? These people are adults.
- [Zoe's ringtone goes off]
- Larry Mora: Look, maybe let it ring.
- Zoe Murphy: I'm sick of hiding.
- [answers her phone]
- Zoe Murphy: Hello? Yeah, have-have fun with your miserable life.
- Larry Mora: What did they say? What's the number?
- Zoe Murphy: It's blocked. It doesn't-- No, it doesn't matter.
- Cynthia Murphy: That's it. I'm calling the police.
- Larry Mora: No, look, right now, maybe the best thing to do is to just stay calm, all right? And sit...
- Cynthia Murphy: That's always your solution, isn't it? Wait and see. Let's just wait and see, right, Larry?
- Larry Mora: What are the police going to do? It's the Internet. Wh-- Are they gonna arrest the Internet?
- Cynthia Murphy: I had to beg you, every step of the way, for-for therapy, for-for rehab.
- Larry Mora: What? N-No, no. You went lurching from one miracle cure to the next...
- Cynthia Murphy: Oh, you're-- Really?
- Larry Mora: ...because all he needed was another $20,000 weekend yoga retreat.
- Cynthia Murphy: What was your alternative, other than picking apart everything that I did?
- Larry Mora: How about putting him on one program and sticking to it?
- Cynthia Murphy: Remember what he said the first time that Connor tried to kill himself? That he's just looking for attention.
- Larry Mora: For Christ's sake.
- Cynthia Murphy: He just wants attention!
- Larry Mora: I'm not going to sit here and defend myself!
- Cynthia Murphy: You couldn't understand him. You never understood him because he wasn't yours!
- Zoe Murphy: Mom, what the hell?
- Larry Mora: I raised him from the time he was three years old.
- Cynthia Murphy: He was getting better, and you refused to see it. Ask Evan.
- [to Evan]
- Cynthia Murphy: Tell them, Evan. Evan did everything that he could.
- Larry Mora: Evan? Evan was in denial of what was happening.
- Zoe Murphy: Do not bring him into this.
- Cynthia Murphy: Read the note, Larry. Read what he said.
- [from the letter]
- Cynthia Murphy: "I just wish that everything was different."
- Larry Mora: I tried. But he was my son!
- Cynthia Murphy: He wanted to be better!
- Zoe Murphy: Please.
- Larry Mora: I-I tried everything!
- Zoe Murphy: Stop it! Just please stop! Please stop fighting!
- Cynthia Murphy: He was trying to be better! He was trying!
- Larry Mora: And he was failing.
- Cynthia Murphy: We failed him.
- Zoe Murphy: The only time I saw you two together was when he was screaming in your face at school last week.
- Cynthia Murphy: He was screaming at you?
- Evan Hansen: Yeah, yeah, um...
- Cynthia Murphy: Well, that wasn't very nice.
- Zoe Murphy: Well, Connor wasn't very nice, so that actually makes sense.
- Cynthia Murphy: I think that everybody at this table can agree that Connor was, um... a complicated person.
- Zoe Murphy: No, he was a bad person.
- Larry Mora: Zoe, please.
- Zoe Murphy: Don't pretend like you don't agree with me.
- Cynthia Murphy: You refuse to remember any of the good things.
- Zoe Murphy: Because there were no good things.
- Zoe Murphy: Just be glad we get to have real ice cream. My mom was Buddhist last year, so we couldn't have any animal products.
- Evan Hansen: She was, um, Buddhist last year but not this year?
- Zoe Murphy: Yep. That's sort of what she does. She gets into a lot of different things. For a while, it was Pilates. The Secret. Buddhism. Et cetera.
- Evan Hansen: It's cool that she's interested in so much different stuff.
- Zoe Murphy: Yeah, she's not, though. That's just what happens when you're rich and you don't have a job. You get a little crazy.
- Heidi Hansen: They don't really know you.
- Evan Hansen: Well, they like me. They like me. I know that that's very hard for you to believe, that they don't think I'm... you know, that there's something wrong with me, that I need to be, like, fixed, like you do.
- Heidi Hansen: When have I ever said that?
- Evan Hansen: Oh, my god. Mom, I, I have to go to therapy, right? I have to take drugs. I have to...
- Heidi Hansen: There's, there's nothing wrong with that. There, there's nothing wrong with needing help, honey.
- Jared Kalwani: And now you want me to make a bunch of fake emails for you. Classic.
- Evan Hansen: You know how to do that?
- Jared Kalwani: It's simple coding.
- Evan Hansen: But you failed coding.
- Jared Kalwani: If you consider a d-minus failing.
- Alana Beck: You want to help the Murphys? And all the other people who might need it, like people like Connor. Or... people like us.
- Evan Hansen: People like us? Yes, right, because we have so much in common.
- Alana Beck: What?
- Evan Hansen: Well, you're, like, the president of a million different groups at school, and you're, like, part of every single activity. And you're, you know, and I'm... um, I am not.
- Alana Beck: What do you take? Okay, I'll go first. I'm on Lexapro, ten milligrams.
- Evan Hansen: Oh. Well, I'm, I'm on Zoloft. Uh, and Wellbutrin. And, um... Ativan as needed.
- Alana Beck: Depression? Anxiety?
- Evan Hansen: Yeah.
- Alana Beck: Yeah, me, too. Some days, it's just like, um... It's like, um...
- Evan Hansen: Impossible?
- Alana Beck: Yeah.
- Evan Hansen: Yeah. You know, you don't really act like a... depressed sort of person.
- Alana Beck: I'm just good at staying anonymous. Same as you. There are a lot of people who feel like us. People that you wouldn't think.
- Larry Mora: How was school?
- Zoe Murphy: Terrific. All of a sudden, people I've never met want to be my best friend. I'm the dead kid's sister, didn't you know?
- Cynthia Murphy: I'm sure they mean well.
- Zoe Murphy: I'm sure they don't.
- Jared Kalwani: Maybe you should talk to her, tell her how you feel.
- Evan Hansen: I've tried talking to her.
- Jared Kalwani: Really?
- Evan Hansen: Yes. Yeah, I... I stayed afterwards, um, last year after the spring jazz band concert, but, um, I didn't go up to her because I was worried that my hands were sweaty. Which they weren't even, they weren't even that sweaty. I just... I was worried that they were sweaty, and sometimes worrying that they're sweaty makes them sweaty, so I just went to the bathroom and I put 'em under, like, the hand dryer thing, but then they were still sweaty. They were just, um... They were just also warm.
- Jared Kalwani: I was kidding. You obviously should not talk to her. You are a literal disaster.
- Heidi Hansen: His English teacher last year told me that he wrote one of the best papers she'd ever read on Sulu.
- Cynthia Murphy: Is that right?
- Evan Hansen: It's Sula.
- Heidi Hansen: What?
- Evan Hansen: You said Sulu. It's Sula.
- Larry Mora: Yeah, I believe Sulu's a character on Star Trek.
- Heidi Hansen: My mistake.
- Evan Hansen: And he noticed that you still fill out the quizzes that they put in those teen magazines.
- Zoe Murphy: I, I do that ironically.
- Heidi Hansen: I can promise you that... someday... all of this is gonna feel like a very long time ago.
- Cynthia Murphy: They have pictures of us now.
- Larry Mora: Just put it away.
- Cynthia Murphy: [reading a comment] "His parents act like they are bereft, but where were they when their son was actually alive?"
- Larry Mora: Please stop reading them.
- [Alana's phone vibrates after posting Evan's letter online]
- Alana Beck: Hi.
- Evan Hansen: Alana, you have to take it down, okay? They've been through enough.
- Alana Beck: I took it down already, Evan, but it-it doesn't matter because it's everywhere.
