Episode Quotes

Will: When exactly do we go from being kids to being ... just people, I'm not sure. I do know that it's not about turning a certain age or graduating from school. It happens when we're not paying attention. We go from playing with out friends ... to playing with out friends' feelings. Without our knowledge or consent, childhood slips away in the night. And our innocence escapes us. And we wake up one morning ... to find we have become ... who we are.

Bella: (to Jake) Are you two like, totally in love? No wonder they all think you're gay.

Bella: In fact ever since the first time I saw you, I thought ... Never mind, if I'm wrong about this, I'll light myself on fire.
Jake: What? Say it.
Bella: I thought, why is this beautiful girl dressing like a guy?
