Bridget: He was happy, you know. And I’m sorry. He loved you. He loved you both. He loved you kids so much. You know, he got the chance to love you. And he wasn’t in any more pain. That’s the best we could have asked for.
Hilde: But I didn’t even get a chance to say goodbye.
I understand why your sister wanted to publish her story, but Strata built this community, and it’s hard for a lot of us watching your family drag their name through the mud.
Ethan’s Mom
Trip: I’ve been subjected to more scrutiny in one year at this job than my predecessor had to deal with in 35, and still, I rose to that challenge. But from the start, you haven’t supported me because a black woman can’t be sheriff in this town.
Rutherford: Now hold on, I never said anything…
Trip: What was it you said? That I’d be more comfortable somewhere else, in a more progressive town. You don’t want to make me feel comfortable. You wanted to make sure that everyone else around here wasn’t uncomfortable. And instead of trying to help me clean up the racism in this town, you wanted me out of your way so you all could get back to business. But guess what? I don’t like the way you do business, and I think your boss, the Attorney General, will agree with me when she sees this.
I’m just an old man from a small town who sold bikes, lived at the same address for 40 years. I thought my life was small. I thought, except for you guys, my family, maybe I didn’t matter all that much. But you showed me there’s no such thing as a small life because if my story can help someone else, well, then it matters. So keep going, Hilde. Keep telling your story.

Matt: It turns out your company was using those chemicals for what? Two decades?
Bridget: Was it even longer than that?
Grant: They didn’t know they were dangerous back then. It was just the way things were done. That’s no reason to scare people away from Erie Harbor now, is it? Tank real estate prices. Cut jobs. I don’t think the town would thank you for that.
Matt: I’m sorry, is that supposed to be some kind of a threat?
Grant: It doesn’t have to be. It could be a choice. You’re her parents. You need to get control of your daughter.
Hilde: I think they’re really mad at me.
Bridget: Did you apologize to them for what happened at the Sheriff’s department?
Matt: Yeah, I mean, that must have been scary for those guys.
Bridget: Yeah, they don’t have a dad who’s been arrested three times.
Hilde: No story is worth losing you guys as friends. I want to find some way to make it right.
Donny: You will. We will.
Spoon: Together. Come on, this calls for a group hug.
Donny: Do criminals go to college?
Spoon: Probably not, Donny. Probably not.
Kim: You are not criminals. You just made a mistake. People make mistakes. You know, if I learned anything from how people treated me after what happened with my Mom, it’s that just because people say things about you doesn’t make them true. You three, what you have, that’s what really counts.
We’ve been friends for over 30 years. I’ve known every version of you, and I’ve loved them all, even Cranky Frankie. You can get fired from a dozen more jobs; I will never be ashamed of you.
Kim
[to Izzy] I know that you may think my reporting is annoying sometimes, but I wouldn’t know how to do it without you. Good journalists, they look at both perspectives and consider other people’s feelings. I forget to do that sometimes, but you never do.
Hilde
Hilde: I owe you an apology.
Ginny: For what?
Hilde: When you were trying to tell me something, and I kept ignoring you. I thought what I was doing was more important, like I knew better. People do that to me all the time, and I hate it. I promise I will never do that to you again.
Izzy: Well, Ethan, I don’t want to hurt her feelings. She’s my friend.
Ethan: No, she’s not. She wants to date you. She doesn’t want to be friends.
Izzy: So, what, you’re saying that if we weren’t dating, you wouldn’t want to be my friend?
Ethan: No.
Izzy: Well, now it sort of feels like you’re asking me to choose. You or her.
Ethan: Well, I mean, she likes you, so I guess, yeah, I am.
