Secret Life of the American Teenager: Grant

C'mon you disease carrying skank, you know I love you.

I'm capable of this kind of romance...if you're into that sort of thing.

Secret Life of the American Teenager: Leo

I feel like I've got two sons sometimes and both of you are getting in over your heads.

Let's just let sleeping dogs lie, eh?

Just a reminder, when you marry someone you marry their whole family.

There are more than two girls in the universe you know.

Why don't you stop taking full responsibility for once? You always gotta be the hero?

You're too young to be filled with regret.

Secret Life of the American Teenager: Nora

It's like looking in a mirror before I was into alcohol...drugs...guys...

Who's the big baby? It's like you're stomping your feet and insisting you get some. It makes you less attractive as a man.

You're a good thing. Amy Juergens you're the best thing that ever happened to him.

Being addicted to anything is hell.

For people who don't do drugs or drink, you're all still completely dysfunctional.

Secret Life of the American Teenager: Madison

Maybe if I sleep with him, he'll feel closer to me than he does to her.

Who do you think you are? Ricky? There's no "we'll see" in this relationship.

Getting married isn't going to guarantee that or anything else.

Your idea of wild is a chocolate shake and a bath?

Secret Life of the American Teenager: Lauren

Don't bother me, I'm in a state of emergency. Adrian has lost her mind over this wedding.

I heard religious people get all filled with the spirit and have crazy sex.

Breakups come in threes.

That was just a "I want in your pants" I love you, not a "real" I love you!

She violated the best friend code, the girlfriend code, the woman code.

Maybe marriage and babies are easier to think about than being personally successful in a field that we have yet to even know exists.

There's no fairytale ending to being a teen mom.

The Village

Kitty: I love you, Lucius. I love you... like the day is long! I love you more than the sun and the moon together. And if you feel the same way, then we should not hide it any longer. It's a gift, love is! We should be thankful! We should bellow it out with all the breath in our lungs! Thank you! Thank you!

Ivy: [singing to her sister Kitty] Baby sleep, gently sleep / Life is long and love is deep. / Time will be sweet for thee / All the world to see. / Time to look around and know / How the shadows come and go, / How the breeze stirs the tree, / How the blossoms grow.

You may run from sorrow, as we have. Sorrow will find you. It will smell you.

Ivy: My sister cried alot. You wonder how I recognize you? Some people - just a handful, mind you - give off the tiniest color. It's faint. Like a haze. It's the only thing I ever see in the darkness. Papa has it, too. Do you wonder what your color is? Well, that I won't tell you. It's not ladylike to speak of such things. You shouldn't even have asked.
Lucius: You run like a boy.
Ivy: Thank you. I know why you denied my sister. When I was younger... you used to hold my arm when I walked. Then suddenly you stopped. One day, I even tripped in your presence and nearly fell. I was faking, of course, but still you did not hold me. Sometimes we don't do things we want to do so that others won't know we want to do them.

Lucius: Sometimes we don't do things, yet others know we want to do things so we don't do them.

Edward: Do not fret. You are fearless in a way that I shall never know.

Ivy: I do long to do boy things. Like that game the boys play at the stump. They put their backs to the woods and see how long they can wait before getting scared. It's so exciting. I understand you hold the record? It will never be broken they say.
Lucius: It's just childish games.

Ivy: When we are married, will you dance with me? I find dancing very agreeable. Why can you not say what is in your head?
Lucius: Why can you not stop saying what is in yours? Why must you lead, when I want to lead? If I want to dance I will ask you to dance. If I want to speak I will open my mouth and speak. Everyone is forever plaguing me to speak further. Why? What good is it to tell you you are in my every thought from the time I wake? What good can come from my saying that I sometimes cannot think clearly or do my work properly? What gain can rise of my telling you the only time I feel fear as others do is when I think of you in harm? That is why I am on this porch, Ivy Walker. I fear for your safety before all others. And yes, I will dance with you on our wedding night.

Beatrice: It is amazing what two people love chooses to unite. It follows no rules.

Ivy: One love to sacrifice another love is not right.

Lucius: There are different types of love.

Ivy: I am in love.
Edward: I know.
Ivy: He is in love with me.
Edward: I know.
Ivy: If he dies... all that is life to me will die with him. I ask permission... to travel through Covington Woods and go to the towns to retrieve medicines that may save... Lucius Hunt. You are my father. I will listen to you in all things. I will trust your decision.

Edward: The moment I heard my daughter's vision had finally failed her, and that she'd forever be blind, I was sitting in that chair. I was so ashamed.

Edward: You do not know of money, it is not part of our life here. Money can be a wicked thing. It can turn men's hearts black - good men's hearts.

Edward: You are a strong one, Ivy. You lead when others would follow. You see light when there is only darkness. I trust you. I trust you among all others.

Finton: Ivy, there's something in these woods. It turns my stomach to rot. You will be safe. They will not harm you, because you cannot see. They will take pity on you, the way they took pity on Noah when... when he ventured in the woods. They will kill me, Ivy. I cannot stay. You're better in these woods than most boys, anyone would say.
Ivy: It is my burden, Finton. You may go.
Finton: Come with me.

Mrs. Clack: What have you done?
Edward Walker: He is the victim of a crime.
Mrs. Clack: We have agreed never to go back. Never
Edward Walker: What was the purpose of our leaving? Don't forget, it was out of hope of something good and right.
Robert Percy: You should not have made decisions without us!
Edward Walker: I'm guilty, Robert! I made a decision of a heart, I cannot look into another's eyes and see the same look I see in August's without justification! It is too painful, I cannot bear it!
Mrs. Clack: You have jeopardized everything we have made.
Edward Walker: Who do you think will continue this place, this life? Do you plan to live forever? It is in them that our future lies, it is in Ivy and Lucius that this way of life will continue. Yes I have risked, I hope I am always able to risk everything for the just and right cause. If we did not make this decision, we could never again call ourselves innocent, and that in the end is what we have protected here, innocence! That I'm not ready to give up.
August Nicholson: Let her go. If it ends, it ends. We can move towards hope, that's what's beautiful about this place. We cannot run from heartache. My brother was slain in the towns, the rest of my family died here. Heartache is a part of life, we know that now. Ivy is running toward hope, let her run. If this place is worthy, she'll be successful in her quest.
Mrs. Clack: How could you have sent her. She is blind.
Edward Walker: She is more capable than most in this village. And she is led by love. The world moves for love. It kneels before it in awe.
