Quotes

• Piper Shaw: So, Noah Foster, do you think that Brandon James just snapped that night?
• Noah Foster: Nobody just snaps. I mean, a bomb doesn't become a bomb when the wick is lit.
• Piper Shaw: So if Tyler O'Neill is behind the mask and the GIF, is this an homage?
• Noah Foster: In my humble opinion, nobody puts on a mask and commits a murder like that just once. The real question is: who's next?

....

• Riley Marra: Still haven't heard from Noah. Everything was going great on the football field, then he raced off like the McRib was back.
• Brooke Maddox: He's clearly afraid to make a move, and you're to gorg' for these romantic Special Olympics.
• Riley Marra: Don't be mean.
• Brooke Maddox: Not mean. Brutally honest. It's a different shade of mean.

....

• Noah Foster: Riley, where are you? Just look around you. Tell me what you can see.
• Riley Marra: I can... see our stars.

....

• Kieran Wilcox: You have no idea how utterly unprecedented you are.
• Emma Duval: You can't say things like that.
• Kieran Wilcox: No, you're right. I really can't.
• Emma Duval: Alright, so "Fault In Our Stars" is also a no.

....

• Emma Duval: : Hello.
• The Killer: Hello, Emma. Got your DM. I'll answer your questions when I'm ready. So, did mommy give you the answers you were looking for?
• Emma Duval: : I'm calling the police
• The Killer: Say anything and I will gut her.
• Emma Duval: : What do you want from me?
• The Killer: Isn't it obvious? I want your trust, Emma.
• Emma Duval: : Why the hell would I trust you?
• The Killer: Because I'm the only one around here telling you the truth.
• Emma Duval: : You're sick. I am done playing your games, and I am done with you.

....

• Clark Hudson: So we are officially dealing with another possible murder.
• Maggie Duval: I was up all night finishing the autopsy. The ligature marks, dislocated vertebrae, crushed larynx. You don't see this kind of trauma hanging yourself from an eight foot high ceiling fan.
• Clark Hudson: So someone staged her body to look like a suicide. Why would they do that?
• Maggie Duval: I wish I knew.
• Clark Hudson: Rachel's wake's today. Let her family have a day to mourn. Tomorrow I'll open a murder investigation.

....

• Audrey Jensen: What if you wrote him back?
• Emma Duval: What?
• Audrey Jensen: If this psycho did kill Rachel, I want to know the reason why. He DM'ed you, right?
• Emma Duval: Yeah.
• Audrey Jensen: He opened a line. Let's direct message his ass back.
