Eli: "Here's what I want, Clare, I want you not to give up on me. You're the only thing that makes me feel like I could ever get better." Clare: "Then I guess you're stuck with me. Just like you said I was stuck with you."
Eli: "You could work hard enough to earn a whole year of free stays at the Hotel Eli." Clare: "What is it, four stars?" Eli: "Once it's ready... and you are." Clare: "Maybe someday."
Eli(to Adam): "Where you're standing right now, this is where I deflowered Clare." Clare: (slaps Eli's arm) "Ew! You didn't! He did not. Okay, we had a picnic, we kissed, C'est tout." (That is all.) Eli: "And it was parfait." (perfect).
Clare: "The stars are out." Eli: "What's your wish?" Clare: "If I say it out loud, it won't come true." Eli: (laughs) "How cheesy would it be if I said that... mine already has?"
(To Eli): "Did three months mean NOTHING?! Did you flip a switch and erase me from your memory?! It took you a year! A YEAR to get over your ex! Did you ever love me at all?!"
Clare: "I read your play." Eli: "And?" Clare: "It's... it's beautiful." Eli: "Yeah, I made some changes." Clare: "You made Clara the hero." Eli: "That's because she is the hero."
Eli: "You okay?" Clare: "Things have gotten complicated between me and Jake." Eli: "Sucks to hear that." Clare: "Really?" Eli: "Yeah. How complicated is it? (Clare hands him her phone) 'Off to the cabin until the wedding. See you there, sis.' Sis?" Clare: "Our parents are getting married." Eli: "Well, I can see how that might be a problem. I'm sorry, Clare." Clare: "Maybe it wasn't meant to be."
Eli: "So, did I interrupt an intense game of hide and seek?" Clare: (laughs) No. Eli: So, may I ask: Why did you run into a dark forest by yourself?" Clare: Let's just say, a certain someone moved on before I had a chance to talk to him. Eli: Stop. Y-you're overwhelming me with details. Clare: Is it weird to be glad you were the one to find me?" (Eli chuckles and smiles)
(To Jake): "Stop. I thought about kissing Eli... to get back at you."
Eli: "So, what do you think? Even though the Grundy's didn't nominate my play, I tried to remain objective. Clare: "I love it. At no point did you call the Grundy's stupid, pointless or moronic." Eli: "Yeah, you should've seen my first draft."
Eli: "Were you really worried that us hanging out would set me off?" Clare: "It wasn't you I was worried about."
Clare: "Eli? Eli?" Eli: "Good morning. I think we fell asleep on the phone. Clare: "I guess so. You have morning voice." Eli: "Look who's talking." Clare: "Is it weird that I already miss you?" Eli: "It's been eight hours since we last saw each other." Clare: "No more uniforms means I'm gonna need extra time to get ready." Eli: "Are we still set for our first date tonight? Like a... re-first date?" Clare: "I said I was all in, didn't I?" Eli: "I'll see you at school."
Eli: "We can go on our re-first date anytime." Clare: "I know, but it was important to me." Eli: "And me too, but being all in doesn't mean dropping everything. And just because you cancel a date on me, doesn't mean I'm gonna lose it."
Clare: "When you're at NYU, you're gonna have to work with a lot of people who are different from you. This is good practice." Eli: "Clare, this musical is not gonna get me into NYU." Clare: "When we watched The Dark Knight together, you talked nonstop about how Christopher Nolan took all these familiar, played out elements, and made them new again. You can do that too." Eli: "I'm not Christopher Nolan. Or Batman. Hell, I can't even pull off the Joker, anymore." Clare: "Find a way to make it your own. I believe in you."
(To Connor and Adam): "Asher says we need to dig deep. Find the narrative in the work."
(To Connor and Adam): "Asher says every piece of work needs to be your best work."
Clare: "Why did you post those things to Twitter?" Connor: "Stuff Clare says? It was just a joke." Clare: "It wasn't funny." Connor: "Adam thought it was." Clare: "He was just egging you on. You realize what you posted was public, anyone can read it." Connor: "That was the point. You were acting so full of yourself." Clare: "But my mentor saw it. Do you understand how embarrassing that was? I love working with Asher, and I don't want to lose my co-op just because you have Asberger's." Connor: "Because I have Asberger's? Do you hear yourself?" Clare: "Don't overreact. Just please... delete the tweets."
To Connor and Adam: "Well excuse me for having loftier ambitions than just some pedestrian high school assignment!"
Asher: "Are you always this neurotic?" Clare: "Yeah, pretty much."
"Love comes in many forms, and it's about time we see that reflected in the stories we tell."
"I think my generation's gonna change the world..."
Clare: "Okay, we have to act professional during the interview. No touching, not like you're my boyfriend." Eli: "So, you go on a lunch date with your boss; now I'm not allowed to touch you. Should I be jealous?" Clare: "What? No, of course not." Eli: "Good, because if anyone got in between us, I'd have to kill them." Clare: "Easy, Dexter. I've only got eyes for you, and you know it."
Clare: "What does Alfred say to Batman? (in an English accent) Why do we fall down Master Wayne?" Eli:(Batman imitation) "So we can pick ourselves back up... But what if I'm not good enough?" Clare: Eli you can do anything. Even if you don't know it yet, I do.
