When it's important enough, you speak up. You tell people what you need. You show them who you are. You ask. And you do this knowing there are consequences. There's collateral damage, but you've chosen this. So you can't feel guilty about it. You just can't.

Will: Just so you know, high school wasn't the greatest for me either.
Emily: My house was TP'ed once a week.
Will: You win.

Will: Emily, you can't tell me who to date.
Emily: You asked.
Will: I was trying to be a good guy.
Emily: Then be a good guy. Anyone. Except for her.
Will: I'll think about it.

Emily: You are that threatened by me?
Cassandra: Grow up. This has nothing to do with you. This is the real world and everything counts. Only one of us is going to be Gina's research assistant, and you were just collateral damage.

[to Emily] My hand shook. I was in surgery and my hand shook, and when Gina sees me now that's what she thinks. How I might not be cut out for this. And I don't know what it is about you, but I just get, I just get really insecure. Whatever. It was wrong to take credit for your idea. And I'm sorry. Can I have a tissue?

Cassandra

Micah: Looking confident, Dr. Owens. Verging on ballsy, even.
Emily: I've never been called ballsy in my life.
Micah: It's a day of firsts.

Emily: I thought I would have some time to think about it.
Micah: That's why I didn't tell you in advance.
Emily: Are you saying that I overthink?
Micah: You're overthinking.

Tyra: She's been a bitch to you since the fifth grade.
Emily: You know, you're right. Screw it.

Cassandra: Why are you stalking us? Are you scared I'm going to date your friend?
Emily: No.
Cassandra: You should be. I'm going to date your friend.

Tyra: You can't keep them apart forever.
Emily: No, not forever. Just until he realizes that she's a predator.
Tyra: Will can take care of himself.
Emily: No, he won't see it coming. She's camouflaged as a regular person.
