Higher Ground Season 1 Episode 14

Scott: All I had was my stepmother. For a while...for a while I thought I was in love with her.
Shelby: Even though she was abusing you?
Scott: Yeah. It was like, if I loved her, then it made what was going on okay.
Shelby: Well, when did you know you didn't love her?
Scott: The first time I said no and she didn't stop.

Clay: Our product is deeply troubled teens. Like each of you.
Katherine: Sir? Do you know what my troubles are?
Clay: You personally…
Juliette: Or what my troubles are?
Auggie: Or mine?
Shelby: Or mine?
Scott: Or mine?
Katherine: You don't know anything about us.

Auggie (referring to Scott): He's right, Jules. You don't wanna help him. You just can't stand to see someone else help him.

Peter: Can someone give me some insight into what we learned her today?
Juliette: We blow.

Shelby: Two grand a week for portraying troubled teens?
Auggie: And to think we do it all day for free.
Juliette: They don't look troubled to me.
Ezra: Of course not. Who'd send their screwed up kids to a school full of screw ups.
Daisy: This, dearly beloved, is why we're not in the movie. They're afraid we'd play ourselves.

Shelby: Let me put it this way. Are you up for kicking some actor butts while adoring fans scream your name?

Shelby: You wrote her letters after everything she did to you? What's wrong with you?
Scott: I don't care about your opinion any more. I don't care about nothing, 'cause I got nothing. Nothing at home, nothing here. Empty.

Scott: Man, put that camera out of my face or you're gonna have a movie of your lower intestine.

Shelby: What really twists me is that they have coffee. Hot, fresh, liquid caffeine.

Sophie: Just for the record, when we fall, I'm gonna kill that jerk.
Peter: We fall, he's gonna kill us for ruining his little movie.

Scott: I wanted to tell my dad. I did. I couldn't, though. I, uh, what's the word? I betrayed him. That was the worst of it. What I did to him, in my heart.
