## Season 1
### Pilot [1.1]

    Victor Sable: (first lines) The greatest of American presidents were inarguably people of extraordinary strengths and weaknesses. Complicated individuals undertaking an impossible task. Could a single image ever be expected to tell their story? Ever since the first presidential photograph was taken of James K. Polk in 1848, each president has had one defining image associated with him or her.
    Justin: Do you want me to carry this out to your car?
    Grace: No, my son can carry it.
    Justin: It's pretty heavy, I don't think he can...
    Grace: No, my other son. See you at home Jack!
    Bobby: That's where the new college president lives. They're moving in soon. Mom says he's a money-grubbing whore.
    Jack: Shut up!
    Older Marcus: Well, I guess with the names Jack and Bobby, the political career wasn't entirely unexpected.
    Jack: Man, don't you ever get tired of it?
    Bobby: Of what?
    Jack: Of not being like anybody else.
    (Bobby turns back to playing his game)
    Jack: (sighs) Get ready. I'll take you to the thing.
    Bobby: Really?
    Jack: Yeah
    Bobby: (excitedly) So what do they burn at this thing anyway?
    Jack: (from the hallway) Eighth graders.
    Grace: I don't care about you? All I do every single day is care about you. You have no idea what I've given up for you. For both of you.
    Jack: That's a lie! You didn't do any of it for us, or for him! You're just a lonely, pathetic, middle-aged woman hiding behind your books and your words and your freak of a teenage son!
    Grace: (slaps Jack) Shut up!
    Jack One day, I'll be gone, and he'll see things for what they are, and hate you for the lies you told him.
    Bobby: Do you think, because we're hanging out more, that I could become cool?
    Jack: No
    Bobby: Eventually?
    Jack: Probably not.

### Better Days [1.2]

    Grace: Good evening. I want to welcome you tonight to...a renaissance.
    For some of you this night marks a return to your college life, for some of you a new beginning. And so, upon the eve of the tremendous journey upon which you are all embarking, I'd like to offer you a thought to take with you. Listen carefully: you will fail here. All of you. College is not the culmination of your high school career. It is the beginning of your adult life. Only it is a slow sweet beginning that feels nothing like what life and all the attending obligations will eventually bring. So fail here... This is your chance.
    Do things you know you can't do, or think you can't do but hope in your deepest most secret hidden heart that you can.
    Be bad at things. Be embarrassed. Be vulnerable. Go out on a limb. Or two. Or twelve.
    The harder you fall, the farther you'll rise. And the louder you fail, the clearer the distant bell of your future will ring. Failure is a gift. Welcome it. There are people who spend their lives wondering how they became the people they became, how certain chances passed them by and why they didn't take the road less traveled. Those people are not you.
    You have the front-row seat to your own transformation. And in transforming yourself, you might just transform the world. Believe that, and embrace the new person you're becoming. This is your moment. Now. Not ten minutes from now, not tomorrow, really now. Know that, truly in your bones, and wake up each morning remembering it. And then keep going.

### A Man of Faith [1.4]

    Hebba: [to Grace] I still believe you were unfair to me that day. You judged me superficially. You look at me, and you see an oppressed Muslim woman, forced to cover her head by a misogynistic and backwards culture. That's what you meant; you see me as a victim. I don't think you see my choice in all of this...
    You know, there are two girls in my hall who are anorexic, one has breast implants, and two others are considering surgery either to their body or their face. All of them obsess over their weight and their clothes and their looks. This is what your culture does to women. It suggests ideals they'll never attain, and when they fail to attain them, tells them they're worthless. You talk about my conditioning, but what you don't understand is that I am a feminist, just like you, and this is part of that. This is me saying "no" to all of the ways your culture tries to exploit me. This is me saying "yes" to my religion, and my god, not "no" to being liberated. I am liberated.
