Quotes 

• Ryan Shaver : [while reading his poem]  The drag of your hand across my chest sparks a blaze my lips cannot extinguish. You stubborn inferno. You drive fast and damn the red lights for slowing you down. You see my veins shake at your first touch. The power to move my blood on your own accord. The definition of heart and after the stick shift jerk, I beg my skin to do tricks. Like forget how good it feels to lose control. Between the burning house of your hands.

• Hannah Baker : What the hell, Ryan?

  Ryan Shaver : Hannah. What's so secret you couldn't speak to me at school?

  Hannah Baker : You know damn well. How could you do that to me?

  Ryan Shaver : The poem? I did you a favor, Hannah. You're a beautiful poet. Your work deserved to be heard.

  Hannah Baker : You're a self-serving, egotistical fuckwad.

  Ryan Shaver : [scoffs]  One day, you will look back on this and know that I was right. What you wrote, you can't teach that. You have to live it.

  Hannah Baker : Well, it's my life, Ryan, it's not yours. Get your own.

• Ryan Shaver : [to Tony]  Just take a brochure. They have scholarships.

  Tony Padilla : I don't need a brochure, don't need your scholarship and I don't need four years of wasted time. I have skills.

  Hannah Baker : [as she walks by]  And a sweet Mustang.

  Tony Padilla : Thank you.

• Ryan Shaver : Hannah, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you feel embarrassed or humiliated. I know what that's like.

  Hannah Baker : You do?

  Ryan Shaver : I'm a skinny faggot who writes poems. I mean, please.

  Hannah Baker : I don't think you're supposed to use that word.

  Ryan Shaver : Mmm. You're not. I'm allowed.
