100+ Best '13 Reasons Why' Quotes - "Welcome to your tape"

Dr. Robert Ellman: You will, you know. Survive.

Clay Jensen: Yeah. I know it now.

Quote from 13 Reasons Why 4x10 | (Clay is reading Justin's college essay and imagines he's with him in the room...) Clay Jensen: "I didn't really grow up with much positivity in my life. And if I had influences around me, they were definitely bad. My mother was a drug addict. Her revolving door of boyfriends, mostly drug addicts too. I had a best friend I used to look up to, but then he hurt people close to me, and now he's dead." Jesus, Justin, talk about dark. Justin Foley: Just... keep going. Clay Jensen: "There was a time in my life I truly had nothing but the clothes on my back and the regret for the people I'd hurt. And then a person came into my life. A person named Clay Jensen." You wrote about me? Justin Foley: They, uh... They said to write about a positive influence in your life. Clay Jensen: "Even when I was puking all over his room, he was there. He's always been there, which is why even though I've never had a proper family, I know what it feels like to have one because Clay gave that to me. Because he's my... He's my..." Justin Foley: "He's my brother. He's my positive influence. He's the reason I'm alive and able to write this college essay in the first place." Clay Jensen: I miss you. How am I supposed to do this without you? Justin Foley: Clay, it's like you said. You'll survive.

(Jessica's imagination...)

Bryce Walker: I'm on those tapes. It's my day too.

Jessica Davis: No. Your day's gone. Long gone.

Bryce Walker: You need me in this world. Otherwise, what would girls like you start riots about?

Jessica Davis: Oh, there's plenty.

Bryce Walker: Still, I kinda feel like I won.

Jessica Davis: You didn't. I was looking around today at graduation, and I was thinking about how Justin was missing, and Hannah. But then I thought, I love these people. Clay Jensen, Zach, and Courtney, Ryan freakin' Shaver, for f*ck's sake. In what kind of world do I love all these kinds of people? The world you made. We had to love each other at the end of it all. You did that.

Bryce Walker: So that's something, right?

Jessica Davis: Sure.

Clay Jensen: This is where I first listened to my tape. And this is where we lay them to rest.

Tony Padilla: Rest in peace.

Zach Dempsey: Come on, people. Let's pile on the closure dirt.

(Clay's imagination...)

Clay Jensen: What I don't get is why ghost you is hanging out with Bryce? Even in my head.

Justin Foley: We loved each other, me and him. We were brothers. You know, you can love people who did... bad sh*t. You can forgive people. Even the people who hurt you worst.

Clay Jensen: You're talking about Hannah.

Justin Foley: When you forgive someone, it's more for you than them.

Clay Jensen: How much I hurt... with Hannah. Always. It's my fault. I fall in love with girls too fast, too hard.

Ryan Shaver: Look, they hate you until they love you. That's all I gotta say. I'm Ryan.

Winston Williams: Winston.

Ryan Shaver: Oh, I know. So...

Courtney Crimsen: Always workin' the room.

Ryan Shaver: She's an old friend.

Courtney Crimsen: Ryan Shaver.

Quote from 13 Reasons Why 4x10 | (Clay's graduation speech) Clay Jensen: I suffer from anxiety... and, uh, depression. But mostly anxiety. I sometimes think all of us kids do, in some way. And how could we not, with the world the way it is? We hear a lot of promises that things will get better. And... and, look, maybe they will, maybe they won't. And what I think I've learned, what I wanna say to you...is whatever happens, keep moving. Get through it. Choose to live. 'Cause even on the worst day, there... are people who love you. There's new music waiting for you to hear, some... something you haven't seen before that will blow your mind in the best way. Even on the worst day, life is a pretty spectacular thing.

(Clay's graduation speech)

Clay Jensen: My dad loves to tell me stories about when he was in high school. The stories usually involve chess club and obscure bands with funny haircuts, because the '80s were a strange, strange time. But he always gets one thing right. He knows high school can hurt. That it can be painful. That there are days when that's all it is. And he once told me that he's living proof... you can survive. You can get through it. He's living proof, and so am I. And so are all of you. And the thing is, for me, for us, this class, this... this generation, high school actually is life or death. We show up every day not knowing if this is the day we die. If this is the day someone shows up with a gun and tries to kill us all. We practice what we'll do if that happens. Life or death.

Quote from 13 Reasons Why 4x10 | (Jessica's graduation speech) Jessica Davis: But you are right about one thing: I am a one-issue president. I'm a one-issue person. I spent the last couple of years angry. Hurt. Scared. But I'm not gonna do that anymore. I'm gonna focus on my one issue. Which is love. Oh, what? Does talking about love make you embarrassed? Is it girly? What? Because it's the thing. It's the only thing. It's easy to hate. It's easy to fear. It's goddamn hard to love. But it's not optional. It's essential. It's life or death. I challenge you. Love each other. Do it. Do it better. Now and every day. I love you all. Oh, and f*ck the patriarchy.

Dr. Robert Ellman (to Clay): I was going down a dark road, and then a teacher in my high school saw something in me. Saw... me. She believed I had something to offer. She was an English teacher. She thought I could write. And I said something to her very much like what you said to me. Nothing makes sense. None of the pieces fit together. And she said to me... "Try." She said... "Begin." So I began. And years later I found myself back here, in my home town, to help kids like me. Like you. I can't promise the story has a happy ending, Clay. What happens to us, it may only have the sense that we make of it. But I do know that it's in telling the story... that we learn who we are. And maybe see who we might become.

Zach Dempsey: Last time I was up here, I said I was my brother's keeper. That we all are. Even though I didn't live up to that. Justin hated running. Coach Kerba would make him do a mile, and he would b*tch and complain... the whole time. Coach Kerba would tell him that pain is the feeling of weakness leaving the body. But we're all weak, I think. But we're trying to be stronger. And the pain that we are feeling today... is to remind us every day... to do better. To be better.

Jessica Davis: I don't know if I can do any of this anymore. We're all supposed to just... keep waking up and putting on our clothes and carrying on conversations and listening to people while they talk about how God works in mysterious ways, and I just don't f**king know if I can do it anymore!

Ani Achola: OK, I think this is the hardest thing... that anyone could ever go through. But I also think you are a lot stronger than you realize.

Jessica Davis (about Justin): He made me strong.

Ani Achola: No! You are. All on your own. Maybe you made each other stronger, but it's in you. I've seen it.

Clay Jensen (narration): My mom asked me if I wanted to say something at Justin's funeral. I wanted to, for him, but I couldn't. What could I say? Running theme, huh?

Tony Padilla: I wish there was something I could say or do.

Clay Jensen: Yeah. What is there? Thank you for wanting to, though. You always make things better.

Tony Padilla: I just show up, man. That's all I do.

Clay Jensen: Always. More than I have for you.

Tony Padilla: No. No, we show up for each other.

Clay Jensen: No one gets through this life alone, man.

Clay Jensen: I'm... I'm so sorry, Justin. I don't know how to do this.

Justin Foley: Hey. You're doing... You're doing it great.

Clay Jensen: Thank you for saving my life. Like, more times than you know. I love you.

Justin Foley: I love... I love... love you... you too, man.

Justin Foley: You're... so strong.

Jessica Davis: You're the best thing that ever happened to me.

Justin Foley: You're... out of your mind. I ruined your f**king life.

Jessica Davis: No. No. You taught me what love is.

Justin Foley: Yeah?

Jessica Davis: Yes.

Justin Foley: OK. You always have that.
