Maya: well this is Degrassi and we are teenagers at Degrassi.
Grace: by the way, do you like the rapid-fire understated way i talk?
Maya: yeah, it's unique. i'm worried about Miles. he's the crazy one, he's the one who jumps every time i dream of him every night for the rest of my life.
Grace: i'm gonna be a pro hacker when i grow up so let's just break into his facebook. there, his password by the way is MAYA LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE.
Maya: omg, it says here that Miles wants to kill himself.
Grace: that's just an expression. well, usually. sorry, I know, sorry, Cam, I mean He Who Shall Not Be Named.

* Imogen: i don't want to bed you.
Eli: hear that?
Imogen: no.
Eli: that's the sound of my cappuccino machine, and the sound of a million fanfiction-writers' hearts breaking. you agreed to polyamory?
Imogen: i thought that was the hipster thing to do.
Eli: wanna marathon a tv series with me? my new favorite show is Wild Grinders. there's a character on there, Emo Crys, i really relate to him.
Imogen: please, Trent, come out with a new NIN album soon, our boy needs help.
Eli: polyamory, that's a good song but in real-life practice, polyamory is terrible.
Imogen: i know. i'll call up Jack. Jack? hi. i think the reason you're "polyamorous" is cos you're scared of commitment.
Jack: you're right. wait, so is there really such a thing as polyamory?
Imogen: not in media. i'm not really bisexual and my favorite band is Erasure.

* Maya: Zig, i think i'm crazy.
Zig: i didn't want to say anything until you said it.
Maya: got any more of those romantic midnight lullabies?
Zig: as a member of this show, i'm contractually obligated to sing only Drake.
