- Rue Bennett: There's nothing I'm really passionate about. You know, like, I'm not dying to say or do anything, really. And every time I admit that to people, they're like, "Oh, my gosh, that's so sad." But I think that's the case for most people. You know? Like, when I look at my mom or like, the kids at my school like, their profiles or their posts and their Tumblr rants, you realize they're all just fucked up, too and lost. They just have a reason to mask it whether it be, like, their, their families or their boyfriends or their hashtag activism. And they're just reaching for something to make it all seem meaningful.
- Rue Bennett: [voice-over about Jules] She didn't just hate her brain, though. She hated her body, not every part, just her shoulders, and her arms, and her hands. Also her chest, her stomach, her thighs. Her knees were the worst. Plus her ankles, and her big, fucking, stupid feet. She hated her life, not because it was bad, but because when you hate your brain and your body, it's hard to enjoy the rest.
- Rue Bennett: [voice-over] Jules would just imagine that she wasn't really herself, and this wasn't really her life. She was just a character in a book or a movie or a show. That none of it was real and if it was, how did it matter? It's not like her body ever really belonged to her in the first place, but fuck it. She'd save it for the memoirs.
- Nate Jacobs: [to Jules] God, are you broken inside. And that's precisely why I don't trust you. Because you're so broken you don't even trust yourself. And that's scary. Not just for you, but for me. And for my entire family.I wouldn't answer that. You're gonna wanna hear this. Over the last three weeks, you have knowingly produced and distributed child pornography including obscene images that were taken on school property. I've compiled all these photos, along with an IP address, and an account that's linked to your name. I don't know if you're familiar with child pornography laws in this state, but they apply to minors just as they apply to adults.
- Jules Vaughn: I sent them to you.
- Nate Jacobs: No. You sent them to an account of a person that doesn't fucking exist, and I mean, anyone can anonymously report child pornography, right?
- Jules Vaughn: Then I'd tell them everything.
- Nate Jacobs: Okay. You could do that, but, um... here's what would definitely happen. You'd end up on a sex offenders list. It means no more college. It's gonna be very fucking difficult to find a job and everywhere you go, for the rest of your life, you'll be harassed, and spat at, and treated like a fucking animal. You deserve better than that 'cause I know you. You're kind. You're smart. You're generous. You got a big heart. You deserve whatever the fuck it is in this world that you want, so keep your head down. Keep your mouth shut. Don't try to ruin my life and I won't have to ruin yours.
