Quotes 

• Hannah Baker : [to Clay in tears]  Clay? Can we... can we talk?

  Clay Jensen : About what?

  Hannah Baker : About what happened. I need to tell you...

  Clay Jensen : What are you crying about? You barely knew him.

  Hannah Baker : No. Clay, you don't understand.

  Clay Jensen : I do understand. Every drama has to be your drama or it doesn't count. Somehow, this is all about you. It's incredible.

  [walks away from her] 

  Hannah Baker : No, Clay!

  Clay Jensen : Please, just don't, okay?

• Clay Jensen : I can't do it.

  Tony Padilla : You can't? After all this, you can't?

  Clay Jensen : No. Jesus, Tony. Death and rape, and what the fuck is next? What did I do that Hannah thought was worse than that?

  Tony Padilla : Don't you know what happened?

  Clay Jensen : No, clearly, I don't. So tell me.

  Tony Padilla : You know I'm not going to do that.

  Clay Jensen : Tell me this, then. Tell me the truth and I'll listen to the tape. Did I kill Hannah?

  Tony Padilla : We all let her down.

  Clay Jensen : That's not what I asked. Did I kill Hannah Baker?

  Tony Padilla : No, she took her own life, Clay. That was her choice, but you, me, everyone on these tapes, we all let her down. We didn't let her know that she had another choice. Maybe we could have saved her, maybe not. It's impossible to know.

  Clay Jensen : Answer the fucking question. Knowing what you know, believing what you believe, knowing me, knowing her and what's on these tapes, did I kill Hannah Baker?

  Tony Padilla : Yeah.

• Clay Jensen : I'm gonna take a long walk home and consider the wreckage that is my life.

  Jeff Atkins : You're a funny dude, Clay.

  Clay Jensen : So I've been told.

• Sheri Holland : [to Clay]  Are you gonna tell anyone?

  Clay Jensen : We have to tell somebody. We have to do something.

  Sheri Holland : But it's over now.

  Clay Jensen : It's not over for his family. They still think he was driving drunk.

  Sheri Holland : He was driving drunk. For all we know, it wasn't the sign that caused the problem.

  Clay Jensen : You know that? Or you just want to believe it?

  Sheri Holland : This is why I didn't want you to listen to my tape. I didn't...

  Clay Jensen : You wanted to keep your secret.

  Sheri Holland : No. Because I didn't want you judging me for the worst thing I've ever done. Other people, they know my secret, but you're different.

  Clay Jensen : I'm going to the police station...

  Sheri Holland : Clay...

  Clay Jensen : To register for a drug diversion program that I have to take because your fucking friends got me suspended.

  Sheri Holland : I didn't know anything about that. I think it was terrible.

  Clay Jensen : Do you? Why don't you stop it?

  Sheri Holland : What can I do?

  Clay Jensen : His family, the man he hurt. They deserve to know how it really happened.

  Sheri Holland : We don't know how it really happened! I mean, yes, the sign was down, but he was driving drunk.

  Clay Jensen : He wasn't drunk.

  Sheri Holland : You know that? Or you want to believe it? I made the biggest mistake of my life and I'm trying to keep it from ruining my life. Do you get that?

• Sheri Holland : [When Clay discovers that Sheri is helping out the Cantrells]  The first time I came here, I tried to tell them. I stood on the front porch and I just I couldn't get a word out. I remember Miss Cantrell saying, "Well, don't just stand there, come in." The next time I stopped by, they invited me for dinner. The next time after that, I helped hang pictures and now I just spend time with them, help around the house.

  Clay Jensen : They seem to like you.

  Sheri Holland : Yeah, they're cute. They remind me of my grandparents.

  Clay Jensen : But they don't know the truth. You didn't tell them about the accident.

  Sheri Holland : What good would that do? Mrs. Cantrell says he still has nightmares about it.

  Clay Jensen : What about the other family?

  Sheri Holland : Look, I can't. I... I just I can't face them.

  Clay Jensen : And what they might do?

  Sheri Holland : Look, I will tell them. I will. Someday.

  Clay Jensen : You have to tell them now. Like, today.

  Sheri Holland : Why now? Why today?

  Clay Jensen : Because every day hurts.

  Sheri Holland : How do you know?

  Clay Jensen : Every day, they live not knowing the truth. They need this, Sheri.

  Sheri Holland : They do, or you do?

  Clay Jensen : They're hurting.

  Sheri Holland : How do you know that? Did you go see them?

  Clay Jensen : That's not the point. You can't keep this secret anymore.

  Sheri Holland : It's my secret, not yours.

• Clay Jensen : [to Tony]  I found Jeff. I was the first person at that accident and I found him. In his car. Dead.

  Tony Padilla : Jesus, Clay.

  Clay Jensen : Why didn't Hannah tell anyone about the stop sign?

  Tony Padilla : Maybe she was afraid.

  Clay Jensen : I was so pissed off at Jeff and at Hannah for making it all her drama. I didn't know.

  Tony Padilla : Well, now you do.

  Clay Jensen : And this just gets worse, right?

  Tony Padilla : You afraid?

  Clay Jensen : Yeah.
