Quotes 

• Clay Jensen : [When Clay sees Alex tearing down some of the suicide awareness posters off the walls]  Alex...

  Alex Standall : Go back to class, Clay.

  Clay Jensen : What are you doing?

  Alex Standall : I'm cleaning up. What, they think these are gonna save someone's life? "Suicide's not an option"? Yeah, you know what? Clearly it is an option, you know? Why don't they put up a poster that says "Don't be a fucking dick to people"? Why don't we put up that poster?

  Clay Jensen : Yeah, that would be cool with me. I try not to be a dick.

  Alex Standall : Yeah, we all try.

• Kevin Porter : [to Clay and Alex]  Guys, where are you supposed to be?

  Alex Standall : That's a heavy question. That's, like, existential.

• Alex Standall : I wish I never touched that fucking list.

  Clay Jensen : Why did you?

  Alex Standall : I don't know. Bryce started it. All the guys were working on it at lunch.

  Clay Jensen : Why are you even friends with those guys? Justin, Zach, Bryce.

  Alex Standall : No, see, I'm not friends with Bryce, but the other guys. Zach and I got to be friends last year, and he's always hanging around Justin. They thought it was funny and stuff. My dad was relieved that I had male friends. Also, didn't totally suck at school that Justin Foley liked me back then.

  Clay Jensen : Okay, back then. Why are you friends now?

  Alex Standall : Because if I stop hanging out, they're gonna know something's up. I shouldn't even be talking to you.

• Alex Standall : So not only did everyone think Hannah gave it up for me I took away her best friend. And who knows? If she had a friend, maybe...

  Clay Jensen : It's okay, man.

  Alex Standall : No, it's not. It's not okay. You want it to be okay because then you get off the hook, but you're losing your shit. You want to think whatever you did couldn't be why Hannah killed herself, but the truth is that I did. I killed Hannah Baker! And Justin killed Hannah Baker. And Jessica. And you. We all killed Hannah Baker.

  Clay Jensen : Maybe you need some chamomile tea.

  Alex Standall : 'Cause people are listening? Well, it's too bad no one paid attention before.

• Clay Jensen : [to Alex]  Is "Gloomy Sunday" really a song?

  Alex Standall : Yeah. Google "Hungarian Suicide Song."

  Clay Jensen : I'll take your word for it.

• Tyler Down : [to Alex and Clay]  What are you doing?

  Alex Standall : I'm recruiting Clay for the Illuminati. You want to join?

  Tyler Down : Alex, you should not joke about the Illuminati, first of all. Trust me.

• Clay Jensen : [to Alex]  So, did you do it? I mean, did you put Hannah and Jessica on that list?

  Alex Standall : You didn't know that? But you saw it.

  Clay Jensen : Yeah, but I didn't, like, trace the handwriting.

  Alex Standall : I didn't think it was that big a deal.

  Clay Jensen : Do you think she's right? Does everything that happened to her go back to you and that list?

  Alex Standall : Well, I think it all started the night of Jessica's party.

  Clay Jensen : What did she say about Jessica's party? Does she mention me there?

  Alex Standall : Where are you in the tapes?

  Clay Jensen : I'm almost through yours.

  Alex Standall : Holy shit, Clay. I mean, I listened to 'em all in one night the first time.
