Quotes[]

(Alexis reveals her new face)
Fallon: Mother, what have you done to yourself?
Sam: She's made herself Fallon. Wow, that is some dark...
Alexis: Shut up, everyone just shut up.

Sam: I don't know why you expect Liam to be honest with you when you are not honest with him.
Fallon: What are you talking about?
Sam: For someone who hates masks, you are the biggest mask wearer of them all. I mean, you're totally unwilling to let anyone know the true Fallon. There.

Liam: Look, I was doing the same thing. I was protecting myself. And the truth is, I started writing that book to get over you, but it turned out to be the best way to tell you how I feel. I know I'm in love with you. I have been, for a while.

Adam: I read Liam's book. All I can say is I hope I'm lucky enough to find someone who feels that way about me.
Fallon: You can start with non-relatives.
