Quotes[]
Max: What do you think? It's pretty cool, right? I get free slushies, I get all the microwave burritos that I can eat… that turns out to be fewer than I thought.
Carter: What I don't understand really is… why you moved here.
Max: Well, the free burritos, as I mentioned.
Max: I own more than one T-shirt, they're just… all the same as each other.
Max: I think that it's bad enough that you lost everything in your life once, and I just… I don't think you should have to go through that again.
Crash: You don't like that I'm a criminal until you need a criminal.
Crash: You wanna find a criminal, ask a cop. They know all of them, and you've got one—at home.
Crash: Be careful; you're startin' to think like a criminal.
Grant: What's a bigger deal than calling someone your girlfriend, huh?
Carter: I'm sorry, this is so cute… look at you freaking out.
Carter: Armadillo, I hate to break it to you, but… she's your girlfriend.
Kyle: I think it's great to see you spending some time with your mom.
Carter: What?
Kyle: I was just saying, um, I think it's great to see you spending some time with your mom.
Carter: Elizabeth.
Kyle: Right, she told me that's what you call her. That… that's what I call her. Hey, I just wanna say, I know we got off on the wrong foot, but maybe—
Carter: Hm, now, would that be the one where you're a creepy predator who stalks teenage girls?
Kyle: Hey look, I only did it that—
Carter: Or the one where you prepared to arrest my mom right in front of me?
Kyle: I thought you tryin' to put all that behind you.
Carter: I am, I just… when I look at your face, I have a really hard time not picturing it in the sideview mirror of your car watching me.
Carter: Oh, somebody wants you over there.
Kyle: Who?
Carter: Me.
Toby: You know, if Earnest Hemingway had an office like this, he never would have killed himself.
Carter: How'd I do?
Elizabeth: Well, let's see, uh… you didn't hurt any of the good guys, or the bad guys… however, you did maim that lamp, you injured that painting, and you've killed this potted plant.
Carter: This isn't fair! You're trained in this!
Elizabeth: You think you wanna see, but there are some that things you can't unsee.
Carter: Oh, my God, that's a dead body. Bird, I have to go; I'm looking at a dead body.
Carter: Can you find out who killed him?
Elizabeth: I already know; she did.
Carter: What?!
Elizabeth: Her husband was abusing her; she wanted to leave, he was coming after her, and she stabbed him.
Carter: Oh, my God…
Elizabeth: And she continued to stab him even after he was ded.
Carter: Wait, so you knew the whole time you were hugging her that she was the killer?
Elizabeth: There's not always a black and white good guys and bad guys; she did what she did, because she was scared.
Carter: That's really compassionate.
Elizabeth: Thank you for a part of the day that was mine.
Max: I'm quizzing Taylor in SAT vocabulary flashcards.
Carter: I'm really uncomfortable; you guys are moving way too fast.
Max: We're only on the Cs.
Carter: Alright, I'm leaving… remember: one foot on the floor at all times.
Taylor: No, I'm not your watchdog; I don't care what you do.
Carter: Okay, nice… You're being Tough Taylor tonight. I like her. She's like the United States of Taylor.
Taylor: Yeah, that joke wasn't funny the first three hundred times you made it.
Carter: Tough Taylor.
Carter: There are actually many different varieties of Taylor that you might come across. For example, Tame Taylor, who never drinks, never gets high, never even cuts class… amirite?
Taylor: You're right.
Carter: This is Terrified Taylor.
Max: Smells like someone's havin' a bake sale.
Bird: I know you haven't played before, but please tell me this isn't gonna be your first kiss.
Carter: No. … Yes.
Ofe: I want you to know I do not take this responsibility lightly.
Bird: Well, I don't know who looks more terrified.
Carter: I think that would be me.
Taylor: I'm, like, the oldest person in the world who's never been kissed.
Carter: So, how was it?
Taylor: I like kissing.
Carter: Okay, good to know.
Gabe: Look, I know that this is just your second time, so—
Bird: Okay, your time's up! Could you save some oxygen for the rest of us, please?
Bird: Oh, what happened in there, guys?
Gabe: I don't know. I don't know what that was.
Ofe: I taught her everything she knows.
Gabe: I owe you.
Bird: What?! Okay, that spin doesn't count; this game is rigged!
Max: Yeah, it does.
Taylor: Yes, it does.
Bird: Look, I get that we're all trying to initiate Taylor, but I wouldn't put her into a closet with Crash.
Max: I wish I could've been your first.
Grant: It's hard enough already; I don't wanna make it a threeway—the conversation.
Carter: God, to think seeing a dead body turned out to be the least traumatic point of my day.
Elizabeth: Carter, I'm gonna stop looking for your mom.
Elizabeth: For five minutes today, you liked me. I know you did. And I want that—that's all—I just want more of that.
Max: This is weird, you know that? 'Kay, you're in front of their house.
Lori: Where else can I go, Max? My child is in there. She's my heart walking around outside my body.
Max: Yeah, except she's not your child.
Lori: Yes, she is. Don't you ever say that to me again—she's my child.
Max: Lori, I had this really long speech that I wanted to say to you, but really, I think at this point, the only thing that I can do is walk back in there and tell them that you're here—
