- Rue Bennett: [voice-over about Maddy] Her mother was an esthetician, which is a fancy way of saying she gave pedicures to rich people and her dad was a drunk who was always pretending to hold jobs longer than he did. She quickly realized that there are two kinds of people in the world: the people who sit in the chairs with their feet in the foot bath, and the people who kneel in front of the foot bath. She used to sit and study the women who came in. She'd pay attention to what they wore and what they'd talk about. And what she realized was that none of them actually did anything. I mean, they may have had children to raise or like homes to decorate, but at the end of the day, they literally did nothing. They literally did nothing and strangely, none of them had confidence.
- Rue Bennett: Now, if it was a normal day, Maddy would have just taken off her hoodie, but since Nate choked her... Maddy woke up three hours early, applied more concealer than a burn victim and tried her best to cover up. To compound the problem, she also suffered from a drop in serotonin from the Molly she took at the carnival, got depressed and therefore hadn't had anything to eat or drink the entire weekend. Plus, she actually was on her period.
- Principal Hayes: [to BB] But do you know why Nate and Maddy were fighting?
- BB: Um, I don't wanna talk until I get a lawyer.
- Principal Hayes: You're not being charged with anything.
- BB: Look. Nate's gay.
- Principal Hayes: I'm being serious, Barbara.
- BB: No, I'm telling you, Nate's actually gay. That's why Maddy was upset.
- Rue Bennett: [voice-over] Maddy knew who she was from a very early age. For as long as Maddy could remember, everybody loved her. She never knew exactly what it was. She just knew that she had something special. Something intangible, something immeasurable, and it gave her confidence. That's why she loved pageantry because you didn't have to be the prettiest, or the tallest, or the blondest, or the whitest. You just had to have fucking confidence.
- Rue Bennett: [voice-over] Seriously, Sharon Stone in "Casino" was like, Maddy's spirit animal. She also watched a lot of porn. Not because it turned her on or anything, it didn't, but if you analyzed it really closely, there were a ton of really good secrets. Sometimes during sex, she would imagine she was a ventriloquist controlling her body, moving her hips and arching her back in just the right way. She wanted Nate to feel good about the way he fucked because if you make a guy feel confident and powerful, well, they'll do anything.
- Sonia: [in Spanish] It's not real love, Maddy.
- Maddy Perez: Who the fuck are you to judge?
- Sonia: [in Spanish] Don't swear!
- Maddy Perez: Seriously, Mom, Dad has slept on the couch since I was 10 years old.
- Sonia: [in Spanish] Don't be cruel, Maddy!
- Maddy Perez: I'm not. I'm just saying, love is a million things. Sometimes it feels good and sometimes it doesn't. The one thing I know is that Nate loves me no matter what. He'd fucking kill for me, and I'd kill for him. It feels good to know that there's one person in this whole fucked up world who has my back. You think I want this? You live in the same house and you don't even say one word to each other. That's the difference between me and you.
- Sonia: [in Spanish] You're right. I felt the exact same way about every person I ever dated. The same!
- Kat Hernandez: Luke Kasten was a fucking God. I mean, he graduated years ago and people still talk about him. He has the biggest dick I've ever seen. And I was looking at him while he was fucking me, I can see his face scrunching up and he was cumming all over my stomach and I had this, like, realization. You know, like this epiphany. That no matter how cool or sexy or smart, you think a guy is, they're actually just fucking pathetic.
