Gia: "But I watched the whole thing from my front seat. Little Miss Emily stumbled into a no-tell motel with a man. It isn't that hard to figure out what happened next."
Lucky: "What happened?"
Gia: "Well, I hope she had fun. And you can tell her I said that. But I saw all I needed to see."

Gia: "I get hassled by you or your little friends, that cop shows up anywhere looking for me, Emily's name will be all over the evening news. I'll make sure her parents know and everybody at that hospital. I'll call that old man who runs this town. I'll skip the society page and go straight to page one. I can ruin her life in a half an hour."
Lucky: "You do that, and I will tell Taggert everything."
Gia: "So let's call it even."
Lucky: "As long as you keep your mouth shut."
Gia: "As long as you don't call the cops and I keep the five grand."
Lucky: "Whatever."

II. In the Loop, Sort of (8/7)

Juan: "How did you get that much money without letting your parents in on it?"
Emily: "Nikolas paid."
Juan: "Nikolas. Right."

Juan: "I just wish you would have let me in on it, you know, from the start."
Emily: "I wanted to. I tried to, Juan. Remember that time with Sherry?"
Juan: "You were going to tell me then? I'm so sorry."

Emily: "Maybe I shouldn't have told you anything at all."

Elizabeth: "What if he tells Taggert?"
Emily: "He won't. He won't. Look, I need to trust him. I really do."

Juan: "Thanks for sticking with Emily, you know, through all this."
Elizabeth: "She's my best friend. What was I supposed to do?"

Emily: "No, I don't care what Nikolas and Lucky want, ok? This happened to me. This is my deal. I get to decide what happens with it."
Elizabeth: "But you're not the only person being affected."
Emily: "Look, I know, ok? I know that you guys have all been my friends and you've really helped me out with this. But Juan's my friend, too. He needs to know."

Elizabeth: "Well, if the cops find out, we'll know who told them."

Juan: "I could tell something terrible had happened, but I thought it was about me. How's that for selfish?"
Emily: "No, no. I'm glad that you didn't know. It would've been too much for me. I felt dirty, Juan. Dirtier than I had ever felt in my entire life. And Elizabeth told me that I couldn't take a bath or a shower because she thought that I might've been raped. She didn't want me to destroy all the evidence, so I spent the entire night lying in the bathtub just staring at the faucet, wanting more than anything in the world to be clean. And any time I would reach out and try turn on the water, I would just tell myself, "no, Emily. You're going to be fine after you go to the clinic. You'll be fine. There will be nothing to worry about. No one will ever have to know. Especially Juan. He won't think of you differently or look at you and imagine you with another guy.""
Juan: "I would have never done that."
Emily: "I know. I know that now, but I didn't then."

Juan: "Well, I hate the fact that I couldn't help you."
Emily: "You did help me. You did anything that I asked for even though it hurt you. You weren't selfish. You were respectful."
Juan: "I'm just glad that Ted didn't hurt you."
Emily: "You know, I think that Ted saved me. I think that he was an undercover cop that saw me getting stoned and took me back to the motel room so that I could just sleep it off. And then he got killed. So in a way I owe it to him, you know? So that his family or the police or whoever--so they know what happened to him."

Lucky: "Why did Emily have to tell Juan now?"
Elizabeth: "She loves him."
Lucky: "He's a jerk."
Elizabeth: "She needs to be able to trust him."
Lucky: "Why? He went out of his way to hurt her."
Elizabeth: "Well, sometimes people hurt the ones they love the most."
Lucky: "Yeah, but that still doesn't make it right."
Elizabeth: "People can change."
Lucky: "You honestly think Juan has?"
Elizabeth: "I hope so."

Lucky: "We don't need your help."
Juan: "Emily does."
Emily: "He won't tell anybody, Lucky."
Lucky: "You better not."

Lucky: "Well, Nikolas is out 5,000 bucks. But nobody will be getting a call from Gia anymore."
Emily: "Lucky, thank you so much. Oh, thank you."
Lucky: "We still have the body to deal with."
Elizabeth: "And whoever killed him--"
Lucky: "Is definitely still out there."

Lucky: "If she followed you and Ted to the motel, maybe she saw somebody."
Elizabeth: "Why would she even tell us anything?"
Lucky: "She will. Don't worry about that."

Gia: "It isn't working out, all right? What else do you need to know? Forget the job. I'll quit. The town sucks. I'm so out of here."
