	Season 1 / Episode 22: - Because I Love You Shelby Merrick: [To Scott] In my whole life, no one has ever looked at me the way you do. No one has, has ever touched my face, or brushed my hair out of my eyes like you do. And then maybe this is really selfish, but it's not just you I'm gonna miss. It's the way I feel when I'm with you that I'm gonna miss even more.
	Season 1 / Episode 21: - Mended Fences Jessica Merrick: I didn't know what else to do. I just-I couldn't take being home anymore. Being anywhere near home, or school, or people.

I just kept going and hitch-hiking, buses, walking, I just kept going. And the further away I got the better I felt. But I- I ran out of money in Seattle. I was so hungry. At first, I thought it was cool, you know, but then it just started to hurt, like physical hurt. And, and I went into a store, and looked at all the food and I picked it up but I didn't know how to steal. I couldn't- I couldn't steal. Then I thought, well I'll just beg you know? But I couldn't.

And we were driving. And it was raining and sleeting outside, and I looked out the window and I saw this sign. It was a sign for milk. And it was called "Horizon Farms" and the stop light turned green- and I jumped out of the car. [proudly] I jumped out of the car. I jumped out. Shelby Merrick: Good for you Jess. You look terrible. You go in the bathroom and get cleaned up. Scott Barringer: So was that how it happened to you? Shelby Merrick: More or less. Scott Barringer: But you didn't jump out of the car.
