- Peyton: [voice-over] I miss you... honestly I've missed you before our last kiss was finished... I just want you to know that I am with you... in heart... soul... spirit... Elena, your beauty radiates from your soul... Hmm... I finally understand the cliché term take ones breath away... you take my breath away... When you kiss me... oh God... when you kiss me, Elena... with your entire body, soul and being... I remember the night you showed up and made love to me was no word... Elena, I have never let anyone have me... not anyone take me... ravage me... as I have left you... You have given me such a gift... the other side of myself... you've made me whole...
- Elena: Make love to me.
- Peyton: [caught off guard] What? I thought you wanted to wait.
- Elena: Peyton... make love to me.
- Peyton: I want to, Elena. I really... really want to. But you must know that once we go there... once we cross that line, there's no going back.
- Elena: [after a pause] I don't want to go back.
- Peyton: I really like you. More than I should. So... we don't, you know, have to talk about it or anything. I mean, I'm fine with that. I just think that if we just... don't spend time...
- Elena: No! No! No, god, Peyton. No! I don't want to not spend time!
- Peyton: But, you just heard what I said...
- Elena: Yes, but we... we need to be in each other's lives! I just found you! You're my absolute best friend. And I know we can get around this. I don't want to not be with you. And you can have *all* of me. All of it except for that. All of me.
- Peyton: Okay, just so you know... 'that' is a big deal for a lesbian. I mean, at least in the beginning.
- Elena: I just... Peyton, let's have some wine. Let's make a plan. Just please, please don't take you away from me.
- Elena: I just need you to know that none... *none* of what we had was a lie. It was the truest thing I have ever known.
- Tyler: In love, one and one are... one. Seldom do we get to witness the art in love. But that is what we all really desire. Not just to be loved, but to be loved in that all-encompassing, Heathcliffe-on-the-moors, one-true-love, soulmate kind of way. And yet, rarely are we prepared for it when it happens by.
- Peyton: [to Elena about new book project] Women are so complex, so multi-dimensional. I just want to dig in. I want to show all their colors... Show everything that makes a woman so... delicious.
- Elena: I feel like it's about to devastate everything I know. What am I doing? Look at all the people I'm hurting.
- Tyler: You can't rewrite the past, but you can reframe the present. What a gift you have been given! I have never seen you so alive and joyous and in touch and full of passion! Peyton makes you breathe!
- Elena: You're not the only one with feelings. I'm so confused, Peyton. Can't we just agree to call it a serious crush?
- Elena: [to Peyton] This entire last year was never supposed to happen. It was never even imaginable to me. I fell in love with you... a woman.
- Elena: I don't know. Maybe some of us are not meant to have a soulmate like Tyler thinks.
- Peyton: Well... I don't know about soulmates, but... Y'know, with Margaret... after that?
- [faux southern accent]
- Peyton: Frankly my dear, I don't care if I never see another lesbian for as long as I live... I'm not kidding.
- Peyton: [after describing her passionate night with Elena] It is a good thing she is not a controlled substance.
- Wave: Yeah. She's far more dangerous. What you are doing is the very definition of insanity. You slept with a gorgeous straight housewife, who's never had sex with a woman before. And she thinks she's died and gone to heaven. Now what?
- Peyton: What happened to you telling me to do things that make me feel good?
- Wave: Okay, I am trying to put my cynicism on one side.
- Peyton: Good, 'cause I'd just like to stay in my happy place for a second more, if you don't mind.
- Wave: Happy place? Yeah, you two walk off into the sunset, no dead bodies strewn behind...
- Peyton: Are you done now?
- Wave: Probably.
- Peyton: That's great. Now I have this big fat foreclosure sign on my happy place.
- Peyton: [writing] I miss you. Honestly, I missed you before our last kiss was finished. I just want you to know that I am with you. Elena, your beauty radiates from your soul. I finally understand the cliched term 'take one's breath away'. You take my breath away. When you kiss me... Oh, god... When you kiss me, Elena... I remember the night you showed up and made love to me with no words. Elena, I have never let anyone have me, let anyone take me, ravage me, like I have let you. You have given me such a gift, the other side of myself. You've made me whole.
- Tyler: Perhaps some of you are thinking 'epic love can't happen to me'. But when true love enters your life, 'epic' happens.
- Barry: Don't get me started on how selfish this is. Nash needs us.
- Elena: You're right, Nash needs us. He needs us. The *real* us. The *best* of us. My god, Barry, I'm done lying. To him, to you, to myself. This has nothing to do with Peyton. This is my decision about my son and my life. I should have been done with this charade years ago.
- Barry: A charade? Are you serious? You got on this thing from the very start!
- Elena: And *that* was selfish. Being here, and not really being inside it with you. I'm done with this Barry. And if it's selfish, so be it.
- Barry: It *is* selfish.
- Elena: Barry, I'm done with this.
- Barry: Elena, I...
- Elena: I'm done.
- Wave: [to Peyton about her ex] Honestly, I don't why you wanted to procreate with her anyway. I mean, you have seen "Rosemary's Baby".
- Tori: Did you know that a snail can sleep for three years? Can you even imagine waking up one day to realize that you've literally slept half of your life away?
- Tori: A normal person engages in the pursuit of kissing a mere twenty-one thousand plus or minus minutes in their sorry little lives. Which boils down roughly to mere months. So, who cares whose kissing whom?
- Elena: Really?
- Tori: Really! I mean, over the lifespan of an average eighty-year-old, they're only having sex six times a year. I mean, we take more baths and we eat more chocolate bars, for gosh sakes!
- Peyton: [to Elena] Maybe we should pull back a little, you know? Just until things settle down. You don't have to feel so guilty, and I can get my head screwed back on.
- Peyton: At least with Margaret, we were compatible.
- Wave: [laughs] Lombard, I've known you since high school, and you were with her because she was safe. There was about as much passion between you and Devil Woman as a bloody rice cracker. I mean, they're very nice. But I don't want one in my vagina, and I'm absolutely sure that you don't either.
