- Noni: You know I always wondered when I'd do a shoot, and they'd tell me to hike up my skirt or take my shirt off, and I'd look to you to see if it was okay, and it was always okay.
- Macy Jean: Would you look around you? It is okay.
- Noni: No, it's not okay! It never was!
- Macy Jean: Noni, the song doesn't make you, you make the song. It's a game, alright?
- Noni: So what? You give me a new nose, a new body and some Indian chick's hair. New and improved, except I'm not a bloody product!
- Macy Jean: We did what we had to do.
- Noni: There was never any "we". Your word was gospel.
- Macy Jean: Wait, so now you're a victim? When did you ever tell me that you didn't want this?
- Noni: When I was on that balcony!
- Noni: [crying, to Kaz] I feel like I'm suffocating in the middle of the street and no one can see me dying.
- Felicia: [to Noni about her mother] You know, it wasn't a monster who dragged you into my shop. It was a desperate mum who seemed like she'd do anything to make her kid's life better.
- Captain Nicol: [scolding his son for punching Kid Culprit on national TV] You're feelin' your Wheaties cause you're banging a Superstar?
- Kaz: I was defending her.
- Captain Nicol: You threw the first punch, that ain't self defense. That...
- Kaz: [cutting his father off] I didn't SAY it was self defense. I said I was defending HER!
- Noni: [to Kaz, fastening a bracelet she's just bartered for onto his wrist] This is a merit badge. You have to earn these.
- Noni: So, Officer, what are you gonna do with your fifteen minutes?
- Kaz: Excuse me?
- Noni: Of fame. I bet you're gonna pull in a lot of chicks with this whole sexy, hero cop thing.
- Kaz: Don't do that. Two hours ago you were trying to drop twelve floors.
- Noni: And you were screaming, "I see you!" So... just what do you see?
- Kaz: Nothing.
- Noni: [to Kaz] That night on the balcony, you saw the goodness in me. And it was enough to keep me going until I could finally see it in myself.
- Noni: That fantasy girl you see on the posters? She did go over the balcony. And the real Noni Jean got pulled back up.
- Kaz: [reacting to Noni, er, seeing to it that he REALLY enjoys his first plane ride] Oh, shit. I think I love you. Wait, no.
- [Noni chuckles]
- Noni: Kay, see we texted, we hit it and we texted about hitting it.
- Kid Culprit: That's damn near married, girl.
- [Noni chuckles]
- Kaz: Better for me might not... have anything to do with my career.
- Captain Nicol: Are you saying, you don't wanna be a bitter, heartbroken man?
- Kaz: [chuckles] Don't you mean *old*, bitter, heartbroken man?
- Kaz: [to a group of pastors whose support he's trying to win] What I mean to say is, progress rarely comes from those who are content and secure. It comes from those who are unsettled by what they've seen.
- Noni: Everyone says I'm special 'coz I have this voice. But I've just been saying what everyone else wants me to say- I need to say something.
- Macy Jean: [to Noni, after the disastrous BET Awards performance] Congratulations, you're a bloody cliche!
