Guy 1: Uh… Yo, look what I texted that girl, Chelsea. I'm being so rude to her.
Ben: Wait, I thought you liked her.
Guy 1: I do. But that's why I'm negging her.
Ben: Aren't you worried that she'll move on to someone who's nice to her?
Guy 1: Nah. That's not how it works. Dude, trust me. I know what I'm talking about.
Ben: If you know what you're talking about, then why is it always just the four of us every weekend with no girls in sight?

What's poppin', gods? You've probably heard, but it's a big day. I'm finally headed East. I know when we normally talk, I usually ask for stuff like smaller pores, or a boyfriend who can do one-arm push-ups, but this morning, I really just wanna say… thank you. I feel really, really grateful.

Devi

Ben: Devi… I think we should be together.
Devi: Really?
Ben: Yeah Like, when we both get to school, let's give this a real try. New York and New Jersey aren't that far away.

So this is John McEnroe live from Princeton, New Jersey, signing off. For now.

McEnroe

I am curious though. Why did you decide to become a teacher?

Paxton

Eleanor: I was trying to say that even though there's all this uncertainty, I'm certain about one thing. I wanna be with you.
Trent: Yes! That's what I was hoping you were gonna say. And you mean romantically, right? Not like as a team for The Amazing Race?
Eleanor: Yes, romantically.

Dr. Tye: Do you know where you're going to college yet? Howard has a cutting-edge engineering department.
Fabiola: I know, uh, which is actually why I applied there.
Dr. Tye: Well, I'm sure you've no shortage of schools to choose from, but part of what drew me to Howard is their mission to make the field of robotics a more inclusive space.

Eleanor: I just kind of feel sorry for my mom. I mean, she sacrificed her whole life for a career that's just not gonna happen. And I'm worried the same thing's gonna happen to me.
Trent: Are you yanking my nuts right now? Of course you're gonna make it. You're the most talented person in the whole flat world.
Eleanor: Do you know how many really talented out-of-work actors there are in LA? And everyone's just crossing their fingers
that some director chooses them.
Trent: So then you should become the director. Pfft!
Eleanor: Wait, that's actually not a bad idea. Like, I could learn how to direct and make my own projects to act in, like Greta Gerwig, or several problematic male directors.
Trent: Well, actually, I meant you could bonk a director in the head, drag them into a closet, steal their clothes, then pretend to be them long enough to give yourself the part. But your idea is good too. Well, listen, El-Bell, I gotta get to class. I don't wanna be a third-year senior. But I'm not worried about you. I stand by what I told you before. You're a shooting star.

Nalini: I'm just surprised to see you after Birthdaygate.
Andres: Well, last night made me realize that I… I can't build my life on the… on the whims of a teenage girl. I don't know what the hell was going on with our girls and Ben, but, uh, I do know that it's kids' stuff, and, uh… and I'm a grown-up.

Okay. Look, Margot, Ben and I are not remotely a thing. He's the one that said we should never be together because we're both too insecure and competitive. And he's right. He's too mean, and I'm too crazy.

Devi

As a man who's signed his fair share of women's chests, I know flirting when I see it. And I see it right now in the kitchen. Wait, was that an arm touch? And a hair tuck? A playful slap? Holy shit, did Devi's mom have a crush on Margot's dad?

McEnroe

Trent: I had that exact same humiliating dream about Eleanor, which means you really love her. You must go to her.
Ben: What? What are you talking about? Right now?
Trent: Yes, Benjamin. You must tell her how you feel. There's no time to waste.

Never Have I Ever Quotes

Ben: Look, I think we're both just insecure and competitive, and we always manage to hurt each other. And as my close personal friend Dwight Howard said while we were hanging out the other day… I need a girlfriend who makes me feel, I don't know, more, like, at ease, or, like, happier with myself. I need that. You should have that too.
Devi: I can do that.
Ben: No, you can't. That's why I'm staying with Margot.
Devi: I accept that.

Boy 1: Yo, Jackson. Who you talking to?
Paxton: It's, uh, Paxton.
Boy 1: Your friend's name is Paxton? -Shit, that rhymes with your name.
Paxton: No, I… I'm-- It's just a friend from home. What are you guys up to?
Boy 1: It sucks, bro. The rager in my room is a no-go. My roommate has mono.
Boy 2: Dude, that sucks. Told you he was a pussy for getting mono.
Paxton: We could do it here. I mean, I'd be cool with that. I used to party a lot in high school. I was, like, constantly getting invited to parties and stuff, so…
Boy 1: Yeah, okay. Sure you were. But all right. We can put the keg on your bed.
Boy 2: Damn, bro, that's cold.
