Gabby: We were in his room talking about plays, and he said all the right things, that I was smart, and valuable, and beautiful.
Justin: You are beautiful.
Gabby: When he said it, I believed it. The thing is everyone had a crush on him, but he chose me. You know what that felt like for me? And after that, we had this big secret which was really sexy. There would be these moments of eye contact in the hallway, and I felt like the hottest girl in school, and then when I got pregnant, he told me not to tell anyone it was his. He didn't want to have anything to do with me or Sam.
I was 18. I was obsessed with him. He said he loved me, when I got pregnant, he didn't want anything to do with me after that.
Gabby

Nick
Gabby: I was ashamed for a long time about what happened between us but you know what? It wasn't my fault. You slept with me when I was still a student, a teenager who trusted her teacher. You made me believe you cared about me, but when I got pregnant, you disappeared.
Curtis: Gabby.
Gabby: No, I am going to finish. This is my time to speak. I didn't say anything before because I felt stupid and ashamed. But I'd hate if my silence made you think that was okay, or worse, gave you the chance to do that to some other girl. I can't change the last seven years, but I can speak up now. I'm done letting you make me feel small. The truth is I'm thriving. I love my son. I love me. I love my future. And you do not get to be a part of it.

Henri: See the pretty lady, she's hiding something.

Nick: That's simple. We tell her secret to the man she loves.
I knew it was stupid, but it felt so good to dance. They operated on my knee, Wayne, the doctors said that I may not be able to walk or dance the same way again.

Henri: Talk to me, dad. What are you so afraid of?
Nick: What am I so afraid of? I'm afraid that we'll drift apart and that next, you'll be in high school and then you graduate and then we'll only talk on Father's Day, and that's all because you went to England for six months when you were 13. That's what "m so afraid of. You mean more to me than anything, Hen.

Raven: Bitch I am done with you bringing --
Julia: Don't you call me a bitch!
Raven: For your information, I trained in ballet.
Julia: You trained in ballet?!
Raven: I did, me, for a while. Classical dance was my first love. But I wasn't the best at it, and ultimately I gave it up because I needed the money, and stripping pays the bills.
Henri: I just don't like it when you bag on mom. The divorce was hard on everybody. Not just you.
Nick: I know. Hey, Hen, Hey, look at me. I know it wasn't easy. I know that. It's just that if we're talking about our feelings, it's important that you love me better.
Hen: You're really immature.
