Victoria Chase[]

— directed at Max as Victoria blocks her access to the dormitory in "Chrysalis"
"'The Daguerreian Process, Sir!' You could barely even say that. I guess you got your meds filled."
— directed at Max in "Chrysalis"
"Don't worry, Max, I'll put a vintage filter on it right before I post it all over social medias. Now, why don't you go fuck your selfie?"
— directed at Max in "Chrysalis"
"That video of you clubbing didn't look like homework..."
— directed at Kate in "Out of Time"

— said to Mr. Jefferson in "Chaos Theory"
"I'll give you a one-word sneak preview of Max's photo: selfie. Listen... you've seen my entry, you know it's better than that. Wouldn't that be SO cool to hang out together in San Francisco, Mark?"
— said to Mr. Jefferson in "Chaos Theory"
"You already love my work, so it's not like you're playing favorites. Just imagine if you picked my photo, though... we would have to spend a LOT of time together... That could be... fun, don't you think?"
— said to Mr. Jefferson in "Chaos Theory"
"You might as well choose me... otherwise I might have to tell people you offered to choose my photo for favors or something..."
— Victoria blackmailing Mr. Jefferson's in "Chaos Theory"
"I'm not perfect, okay? I'm a teenager at an art school. I'm only here to become a photographer and get famous."
— said to Max at the End of the World Party in "Dark Room"
"That makes both of us, Max. I always feel like I have to overcompensate. For what, I have no clue. I'm only here to become a photographer, not president."
— said to Max at the End of the World Party in "Dark Room"
"You have talent, Victoria. You don't have to push people out of your way." - "You don't understand. My parents own a gallery. I know how this art game has to be played... it's brutal."
— with Max at the End of the World Party in "Dark Room"
"On point, Max... Thanks for admitting again that I have some talent. Not that I think I always do." - "I don't either, but that's the choice you make." - "Hard to believe, but I don't always make the best choices. Do you think it's, like, fate we're not supposed to be friends?"
— with Max at the End of the World Party in "Dark Room"
"By the way, nobody says we have to be friends, Max." - "Maybe, but who says we have to be enemies?" - "Whoever makes that decision." - "That would be us, Victoria." - "Well, Max Caulfield, I could always choose to let you in the Vortex Club..."
— with Max at the End of the World Party in "Dark Room"
"Why the hell not? We're both into art and photography, both kind of weird and pretentious. If we hung out without attitude, we'd get along fine." - "I almost asked you to hang out. You said my photos were "Avedon-esque." Then I remembered who I was..." - "You should have asked me. It would have been cool to compare photo notes.""
— with Max at the End of the World Party in "Dark Room"
"Maybe we're too much alike..." - "You might be right." - "Well, Max Caulfield, there's still time for you to get in the Vortex Club..." - "I actually hope so, Victoria."
— with Max at the End of the World Party in "Dark Room"
"Max, I don't hate you... I actually think you're one of the coolest people at Blackwell... Weird, but cool. You just don't know it yet. Maybe I'm jealous because you don't give a shit what anybody thinks. And I do."
— said to Max at the End of the World Party in "Dark Room"
"I don't believe anything you say. You're full of shit. "Oh, hi, I'm Max Caulfield and I'm so sensitive that butterflies make me cry.""
— mocking Max at the End of the World Party in "Dark Room"
"Eat a dick, Max. You're just jealous of me because I actually do the things you can't. I put my photographs out there, while you hide behind your lame retro-selfies."
— mocking Max at the End of the World Party in "Dark Room"
"(crying) Max... I just can't believe this is real. I don't want to die like this! I'm only 18!"
— said to Max in "Polarized"
"I wish we had been friends, Max. But please... don’t let me die like this... I’m still a teenager..."
— said to Max in Max's Nightmare in "Polarized"

— David and Max in "Chrysalis"
"...so don't think I'm blind! I see everything here at Blackwell! Do you understand what I'm saying?" - "No, and leave me alone!" - "...you can't fool me. I know everything about this school. I cover the waterfront. So you better figure out what side you're on..."
— David and Kate in "Chrysalis" (determinant)
"I'm not screwing around, soldier. Chloe. Open this door."
— David in "Chrysalis"
"I'm sick of your disrespect! Tell me the truth, that's an order!"
— David in "Chrysalis"
"For your own good, you should stay away from Chloe. She's a loser and she'll only drag you down. Stick to doing your homework."
— David in "Chrysalis" (determinant)
"Is that why you hassled Kate yesterday? I took a photo of that moment for surveillance sake." - "Soldier, you don't have the facts. You think I'm a hypocrite because I want cameras around here for the safety of the students?"
— David and Max in "Out of Time" (determinant)
"Kate hasn't done anything wrong." - "Max, this isn't just about Kate Marsh. My concern is for the safety of all Blackwell students. Including you."
— David and Max in "Out of Time" (determinant)
"I don't want to fight with you anymore. I don't want to fight with anyone anymore... That's all, Max."
— David in "Out of Time"
"Are you fucking kidding me? This is major bullshit! I led troops into battle and you're letting this punk lead you?"
— David in "Out of Time" (determinant)
"You won this battle, Max. You broke up my family. I salute you." - "David, I didn't try to hurt you. Ever. But I won't let anybody hurt Chloe." - "Too late, isn't it? You just better be damn careful with her. Don't you wander off into the dark..."
— David and Max in "Dark Room" (determinant)
"I didn't have all the evidence at the time. I... I am sorry, Max."
— David in "Dark Room" (determinant)
"I have a family here, Max. And I think Blackwell is the best place for me, since only I know what's happening."
— David in "Dark Room" (determinant)
"Jefferson! It's over!"
— David in "Polarized"
"You kind of suspected everybody..." - "Yes, and this is what I get for wasting all those hours on the Prescotts... I set my sights too wide, lack of focus."
— David and Max in "Polarized" (determinant)
"We all make decisions we regret. But I have to admit, I'm impressed by you... and Chloe, and your investigation. I had all the high-tech toys, while you had each other."
— David in "Polarized" (determinant)
"That's one of my problems... I'm not good at teamwork. Never was. Even in the service." - "I can't even imagine what you went through..." - "I'm not gonna make any excuses for my behavior. I tried to be a good soldier, but...I wasn't so great. I tried to be a good father, too..."
— David and Max in "Polarized" (determinant)
"I just wanna see her safe with her mother. I promised Joyce I would go see a family counselor... and I'll start by apologizing to Chloe. I don't expect her to call me dad, but maybe she'll stop calling me "step-douche". So, where is Chloe?"
— David in "Polarized" (determinant)
"I promised Joyce that I would protect her and Chloe... How can I face her and explain this? I never even told Chloe that I... I... Goddamn it! You killed my wife's child, you sick fucker?! You took away my stepdaughter?!"
— David in "Polarized" (determinant)
"Max, you’re exactly the kind of soldier I’d want by my side in a war."

"I was eating those beans—are you fucking insane? I WAS EATING THOSE BEANS!"
— Frank to Max in "Chaos Theory"
"God, I hate you Blackwell shits. You act like you own this town... like I'm your puppet. Nobody owns me, you understand that?"
— Frank to Max and Chloe in "Dark Room"
"How the hell did you know about that photo? That's my favorite picture of her... I can look at it anytime and she'll always be there for me. I can't stand not knowing where she is... not hearing her voice... or her laugh... anymore."
— Frank to Max and Chloe in "Dark Room"
"If there's a chance in hell you two dorks can find Rachel... I'll take it."
— Frank to Max and Chloe in "Dark Room"
"Rachel... Oh, God. She was the one good thing in my life, Max. I know she was too young, and... I expected her to leave me, just... just not how it happened. I would never have stopped her from going after her dreams."
— Frank to Max in "Polarized"

Mark Jefferson[]

"I could frame any one of you in a dark corner, and capture you in a moment of desperation."
— Jefferson in "Chrysalis"

— Jefferson in "Chrysalis"
"Always take the shot. My number one rule of photography."
— Jefferson in "Out of Time"

— Jefferson in "Polarized"
"Chloe, right. Yeah, I'm sorry I killed—that Nathan killed her in self-defense. But she had a troubled history like most Arcadia Bay dropouts. Nobody will be surprised... or care. Though I promise... people will care when you die tonight, Max. I wasn't lying when I said you have a gift."
— Jefferson in "Polarized"
"Stupid bitch! You just don't listen, do you? In fact, you never did hear much in my class; if you had, you might have seen all this coming."
— Jefferson in "Polarized"
"Remember my number one rule. Always... take... the shot."
— Jefferson in "Polarized"
"Yes, you're a psychopath. And this is your last session." - "Au contraire, Max. I'm so sane, that nobody knows what's happening to you right now."
Max and Jefferson in "Polarized"
"Kate believed, and she survived. You failed to break her. She's stronger than ever. And she'll outlive you." - "She'll certainly outlive you. (chuckles) Who knows? Maybe I'll pay Kate a visit soon and test her faith again..."
— Max and Jefferson in "Polarized" (determinant)
"Then why did you blame David Madsen for stalking Kate? Of course, he was the only person who was about to find out the truth. Irony."
— Jefferson in "Polarized" (determinant)
"Chloe and Rachel... you killed both of them!" - "They're fucking together in heaven right now. Is that what you wanna hear?"
— Max and Jefferson in "Polarized" (determinant)
"I'm going to make you live forever in my photographs. That's all that will be left of Maxine Caulfield. They won't even find your bag..."
— Jefferson in "Polarized" (determinant)
"There's nothing more innocent than a teenager's diary. Oh... look at your selfies. What a waste of talent."
— Jefferson in "Polarized"
"Especially since you've developed from nerd to hero within a week. There's something... weird going on with you."
— Jefferson in "Polarized"
"It's about time somebody finally killed Chloe... Think of how often that bitch almost got me killed... It's like you're doing both of us an awesome favor!" - "Chloe can never appreciate you the way I will... Maxine. And yes, I insist on calling you Maxine... forever."
— Max and Jefferson during Max's Nightmare in "Polarized"
"Please understand, Max... The only place I can be "myselfie" is in the Dark Room."
— Jefferson during Max's Nightmare in "Polarized"

Raymond Wells[]

"You're sweating pinballs. Is that all you're thinking about?"
— Wells to Max in "Chrysalis"
"Don't think I don't know what goes on around here. You've only been here for three weeks and you're already causing conflict."
— Raymond to Max in "Chrysalis" (determinant)
"Please don't say that. There's nothing to be scared of at Blackwell Academy. Our head of security is overseeing a new era of campus safety."
— Raymond to Max in "Out of Time"
"As principal of Blackwell Academy, I take my duties seriously. I take the well-being of every student more seriously. What happened today should never happen in a hall of wisdom and knowledge."
— Raymond in "Out of Time"

"If an event skimps on the food, you know it's a bad event."
