TuesdaysA Teacher Season 1 Episode 7: "Episode 7" Quotes
Chris: You’re not gonna sit here man and fucking smoke my weed and drink my booze without telling me about banging your teacher, man.
Eric: What?
Cody: You didn’t think I wasn’t gonna tell them that a fucking legend was pledging?
Chris: Let me get this straight, you nailed a hot…
Cody: The hottest.
Chris: The fucking hottest teacher while you were her student?
Ryan: You hooked up with your teacher?
Chris: Yes, bro, like multiple times and then sent her ass to jail like a fucking savage.
Ryan: Holy shit.
Girl: I know who you are.
Eric: Yeah, my name’s Eric. I told you at the party.
Girl: No, I mean, I know about you and your teacher. I went to Mayfield, and it was like a huge deal there. I saw you at the party, and I was like, ‘Holy shit, it’s him.’ Did she teach you to do what you just did?
Eric: Yeah, yeah. She taught me a whole lot of other stuff too. You want to see?
Cody: That’s fucked up how hard they came down on her. It’s not like she… I don’t know, it’s not like she took advantage of you or some shit.
Eric: That’s what I said. That’s what I’ve been saying.
Cody: Hey, plus I met her. She was cool, you know. So what? She’s a little older than you. You liked her. She liked you. It’s not a fucking crime. They got her sitting in some federal prison or some shit?
Eric: County jail.
Cody: Oh dude, that’s fucked.
Eric: Dude, you don’t even know. She had to take a plea deal. She might not have even gone in at all if we hadn’t… if I hadn’t convinced her to skip town, just us. But, I don’t know. It was messed up, dude. So stupid, you know, like, the prosecutor came down pretty hard.
Cody: Oh, you know man, you can’t control that kind of thing, man, you know. Like people just want to worry about shit they shouldn’t be worried about, you know. It’s like worry about fucking Syria or dogmeat in China or puppy meat in China. Fuck.
Eric: Yeah, honestly, man, I try not to even think about it.
Sandra: Did you start going to counseling? Eric…
Eric: Mom, can you not?
Sandra: Come on. We talked about it. You were gonna go when school started. Look, they have a great counseling program there, and it’s free. I just think this isn’t something…
Eric: I don’t know how many times I have to ask you to please, please don’t bring this up anymore, please.
Sandra: Sweetheart, what happened to you is not something that you can just…
Eric: I didn’t go through anything.
Sandra: I’m just gonna say one thing.
Eric: OK, mom, look.
Sandra: OK, just listen to me…
Eric: I’m really OK…
Sandra: I just need you to know that I am here.
Eric: I’m having a great time, OK.
Sandra: Hun, when she gets out, you’re gonna need someone to talk to.
Girl: No, no, I feel like an asshole. Like, I told my therapist about it, and she said we can build intimacy without even having sex, like eye contact or cuddling. You must have such a weird relationship with sex.
Eric: No, no, I don’t.
Girl: No, I mean, you’re a survivor and stuff, and I’m a feminist, and I think I should be an ally to all survivors. So, I want you to know that I’m here for you. So, whatever you need, and however you want to feel comfortable and safe, that’s what we’re gonna do, so, you’re safe with me.
Eric: Thank you, but I don’t need to go slow, though. I’m good.
Girl: OK, but I want to go slow, though.
Eric: But we already had sex.
Girl: I know, but now I want to go slow.
Eric: So, why the hell am I here?
Girl: Because you texted me.
Eric: Yeah, I texted you, ‘you up?’ That means let’s fuck, not whatever bullshit this is.
Cody: Hey, where are you going? What’s up?
Eric: I’m sorry, man. I’m sorry. Um, I got to get back. I got to get back.
Cody: Dude, it’s just a stupid tradition. Don’t let that shit bother you. Karen fucks with everybody. You should have seen what she did to me.
Eric: I just don’t want to do this.
Cody: Don’t do what? This, you don’t have to do this if you don’t want to.
Eric: No, any of this.
Micah: We are deep inside and fully implicated in every single thing. One being in relation to a myriad of beings and to the whole. You are the sky. You are the moon, the stars. So am I.
Eric: So is Claire. I miss her. I miss her so much.
