Anna Sawyer: We had two heart attack victims. A toddler with a watch battery stuck in her nose.
Padgett Sawyer: Oh, my gosh.
Anna Sawyer: Yeah. And a gentleman on meth with a stab wound to the neck.
Padgett Sawyer: Yikes! What a nightmare.
Anna Sawyer: Yeah, it was pretty awful. They were just thrashing around, cursing at everyone, spitting on the orderlies.
Padgett Sawyer: Man, meth really messes you up.
Anna Sawyer: Oh, no. That was the toddler. Yeah. The guy on meth actually seemed really sweet. You know, until he smiled. His teeth. Pretty rough.

Cameron Kweller: Why do you listen to that crap all the time?
Brin Kweller: Jordan Van Draanen’s music is not crap. You haven’t even heard his other songs.
Cameron Kweller: Okay, what are his other songs?
Brin Kweller: He hasn’t recorded them yet.

Brin Kweller: You act like you’re so above it all, but I think you’re just jealous.
Cameron Kweller: Of what?
Brin Kweller: Jordan’s this super popular guy in your grade, and you’re just a…
Cameron Kweller: A fountain of truth in a world of bulls**t? Yes, you’re welcome.

Brin Kweller: Why do you have to hate everything remotely popular?
Cameron Kweller: No. See, I hate things that suck. Whether they’re popular or not is outside my control.

Principal Bosch: Attention Cali High Earthquakes, this is Principal Bosch announcing this year’s prom theme, Under the Sea. Which really doesn’t make sense, because technically you’d be in the sea, not under it. But it’s the committee’s decision, and I support them.

Cameron Kweller: [referring to Brin] She acts like she doesn’t even know me.
Nisha: That’s just because she’s tremendously ashamed of you.

Cameron Kweller: UC Riverside, really?
Nisha: What? I think I’d do really well there without having to work very hard. Plus, it’s near Legoland. I effing love Legoland.
Cameron Kweller: Isn’t UCSD the one near Legoland?
Nisha: I think I made a huge mistake.

Padgett Sawyer: [after she catches Jordan cheating on her] You scumbag!
Jordan Van Draanen: Padge.
Padgett Sawyer: I made you croquembouche! I even made them with almond flour so you wouldn’t fart during your precious video!

Padgett Sawyer: I was humiliated.
Anna Sawyer: I know that it feels like the absolute end of the world now. But I can promise you, with absolute certainty, that it will get better.
Padgett Sawyer: Well, when?
Anna Sawyer: Three months. Maybe a year. Five tops. Even if it’s just you and me for the rest of our lives, what do we do? We get a couple of twin beds, fierce matching jumpsuits, a couple dozen more cats. It would be great. Think about it.

Quinn: Padgett, listen to me, okay? Everything’s going to be just fine.
Padgett Sawyer: How could you say that? I’m a joke! I’m a punchline with a disgusting mucus-themed nickname.

Jessica Miles Torres: You’re going viral. In the wrong way.
Padgett Sawyer: Okay, so you saw the video. And while it is unfortunate…
Jessica Miles Torres: Unfortunate? My ex-husband’s hiking accident was unfortunate, and he was mauled by bears.
Padgett Sawyer: Oh, my God. Is he okay?
Jessica Miles Torres: Better than you.

Jessica Miles Torres: Look, we pay you because you’re the makeover girl. People buy products that you recommend.
Padgett Sawyer: And I’m still that girl.
Jessica Miles Torres: No. You’re a meme. You’re Bubble Girl. And mucus is just not on-brand for us. But I’m sure you can get another endorsement. Maybe with an antihistamine company?

Jessica Miles Torres: [to Padgett] Listen, people want Padgett Head to Toe. Not Head to Nose.

Jessica Miles Torres: [to Padgett] Sweetie, I am your biggest supporter. No one has more faith in you than I do. But until you turn things around, don’t talk to me. Love you.

Padgett Sawyer: Okay, that’s ridiculous. I mean, who the hell does he think he is? When I first met him, his real name was Jordan Dickman. A hundred-twenty pounds of bad skin and tragic hair.

Padgett Sawyer: I know it sounds conceited, but makeovers are my thing.
Quinn: Exactly.
Padgett Sawyer: And I made that guy.
Alden: Oh, really? So then why don’t you just make another Jordan?

Principal Bosch: Attention Earthquakes, the big night’s coming. So don’t forget to vote online for your prom king and queen, a tremendous honor they’ll always remember. Unless they throw up in their date’s shoe in the limo and remember that instead. Kidding. Just kidding.

Quinn: You’re going to create another internationally renowned egomaniac?
Padgett Sawyer: No, but I will create the next prom king.

Alden: You? No, no, no, no. See, that’s the fun part. Just so you don’t make it too easy on yourself, we’ll pick the loser.

Nisha: So, now you’re photographing garbage?
Cameron Kweller: Okay, come on. Look, I mean, there’s a perfectly untouched orange next to a discarded math textbook. I mean, it speaks volumes, right?
Nisha: Does it?

Quinn: [referring to Cameron] He’s nowhere to be found. Wait, he made one tweet in 2019, and all it said was, “No.”
Alden: It’s like he doesn’t exist.

Padgett Sawyer: [referring to Cameron] He is a total disaster. Weird. Arrogant. Antisocial. Great.

Nisha: I don’t know. Maybe you could like tone it down a bit?
Cameron Kweller: Uh, no. They’re a**holes, and I remind them that they are. It’s my place in the ecosystem.

Padgett Sawyer: [referring to Cameron] How do you know him?
Brin Kweller: He’s my brother. Just by blood though. If you don’t mind, I’d rather not publicize it.

Brin Kweller: I just have to say, I think you’re amazing. I mean, it sucks what happened to you. Jordan is such a d**k. Unless, of course, you’re getting back together with him? Because in that case…
Padgett Sawyer: No. It’s fine. He is a d**k.

Brin Kweller: He loves horses. He works every day before school at Will Rogers Park.
Padgett Sawyer: So like a cowboy, huh?
Brin Kweller: No, more like a horse girl. He kind of cried when he found out unicorns weren’t real.

Padgett Sawyer: Cameron. What a weird coincidence.
Cameron Kweller: Well, I’m here every morning. So I’m pretty sure the only weird part is you.

Padgett Sawyer: I thought we were friends?
Alden: Yeah, well. Things aren’t always the way they seem. And you would know, right? Yeah. That’s right. You can drop the act. We know you’re poor.

Padgett Sawyer: [referring to Alden] I don’t get it. It’s like she’s suddenly this whole different person.
Quinn: Is she though? Maybe we’re just now seeing who she really is.

Sebastian Woo: Cameron Kweller. Interstellar. Stood up to the d**k. Made it stick. Cameron, one. Jordan, zero. King Cameron, you’re my hero. Fight the power, man.

Padgett Sawyer: So this whole prom king thing, I can’t believe you’re actually into it.

Padgett Sawyer: Not the eyelashes, they’re glued on pretty tight.

Cameron Kweller: [after they’ve kissed] Well, you asked me why I invited you here, and I don’t even let my own grandmother in here.
Padgett Sawyer: Really?
Cameron Kweller: Yeah. Which is why she probably thinks I’m running a meth lab.
Padgett Sawyer: So then why am I here?
Cameron Kweller: Because I trust you.

Cameron Kweller: I just kind of wanted your advice on something.
Brin Kweller: If it isn’t the fountain of truth coming to get help figuring out the world of bulls**t.

Cameron Kweller: We kissed.
Brin Kweller: I knew it! Oh, my God! This is huge. So did you ask her to prom? I mean, it totally makes sense if you guys go together. And what if you win king and queen? How amazing would that be? It would be like Cali’s own royal love story. And you’re the princess.

Cameron Kweller: After we kissed, things just kind of got weird.
Brin Kweller: Of course they did. It’s fine. First kisses can be awkward. First time having sex, that can be even weirder.
Grandma: So is the last time, because you never know if it’s going to be your last.
Cameron Kweller: Oh. Wait, you’ve never had sex.
Brin Kweller: Yeah, but I know things though.

Brin Kweller: If you’re worried about whether you should ask Padgett or not, just ask yourself one question.
Cameron Kweller: Okay, what’s that?
Brin Kweller: Who kissed who first?
Cameron Kweller: Actually, she kissed me first. So I should ask her to prom then.
Brin Kweller: Yeah. But you can’t just ask, okay? It’s lame. You have to prompose.
Cameron Kweller: What the hell is that?

Quinn: Yeah. And something tells me, you might not have screwed up as much as you think you did.

Padgett Sawyer: I made a bet with Alden that I could take some person, and make them over.
Cameron Kweller: Some person. What kind of person?
Padgett Sawyer: Can we please just talk about this in private?
Cameron Kweller: No, what kind of person, Padgett?
Alden: The biggest loser we could find, so she could turn him into prom king.

Padgett Sawyer: I hurt someone, mom. I mean, I really hurt him.
Anna Sawyer: Alright, yeah. You screwed up. But it’s only a mistake if you don’t learn from it.

Padgett Sawyer: I just don’t even know what to do anymore. I mean, if I win tomorrow night, I’m going to have to go in front of all these people.
Anna Sawyer: And be yourself.
Padgett Sawyer: But what if I don’t even like who that is anymore?
Anna Sawyer: Listen, I know it feels like that right now. I do. But the Padgett Sawyer that I know, the kind, sweet, generous, sure, stubborn girl that I’ve known for eighteen years, well, she gets lost now and again. We all do. But she always finds her way back.

Brin Kweller: Tell me why in the hell I should help you.
Padgett Sawyer: I can’t. And I know you two have lost so much more than me. But I’ve lost a lot recently. I lost my self-respect. I lost my college fund. I lost my friends. But the only thing I truly care about losing is your brother.

Brin Kweller: Padgett screwed up. What she did was mean, and selfish, and wrong.
Cameron Kweller: Yes, exactly. So why are you here?
Brin Kweller: Because, Cam, I’ve missed you.
Cameron Kweller: Brin, I’m right here.
Brin Kweller: No, no. I mean, like I miss the way you used to be, you know? Before mom.

Prom DJ Jamal: Dude, I have no idea what any of that stuff is.
Principal Bosch: Are you telling me we paid you forty-five hundred dollars for your phone?
Prom DJ Jamal: Yeah. kind of.
Principal Bosch: You know that’s more than I make in a month?
Prom DJ Jamal: Well, I know that now.

Principal Bosch: [as Jordan wins prom king] Congratulations to Jordan. So humble, isn’t he? Just want to slap his face. I’m kidding. I would never slap a student. Not until after they graduate. But he’s not going to graduate, so it’s fine.

Padgett Sawyer: [giving her prom queen] For the last four years, I’ve been so busy selling myself on social media, putting out this image of who I wanted people to think I am, this perfect person, with perfect makeup, perfect clothes, perfect grades, the perfect boyfriend. And trust me. Nothing could’ve been further from the truth. I even lied about where I live. We all do it, in our own way.

Padgett Sawyer: [giving her prom queen speech] Like someone special once told me. He said high school is just a bunch of scared people pretending to be something they’re not. And that can be true. Especially when we’re at our worst. But it doesn’t have to be that way. That’s the lesson he taught me. I only wish I didn’t have to lose him to learn it.

Anna Sawyer: [as “Kiss Me” starts playing] Well, I’m still here. And why do I know this song?

Padgett Sawyer: I meant what I said. I’m going to start being honest about who I am, from now on. I swear.
Cameron Kweller: Okay. Well, if we’re being honest, there is one thing in your speech that you got wrong.
Padgett Sawyer: What was it?
Cameron Kweller: You never really lost me.

Brin Kweller: [as Padgett and Cameron kiss] Yes! Woo-hoo! Finally!

Padgett Sawyer: [as she can Cameron are traveling in Europe] I just want to say thank you to all my followers who came back to me, who are so supportive of my new direction here. I hope you guys keep following us this summer, because Cameron has promised to help me post photos every day along the way. So stay safe, be yourself, and I’ll see you guys soon.
