## 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.
