-->She could tell you her despair, and you could tell her yours. She could reach for your hand, and you could reach for hers. You could try to choke her out like a fever dream, she could try to push you out of the closet. You could ride your bike for miles in the rain to tell her that you’re sorry; kiss her at precisely the wrong moment, then tell her that you’re sorry; upend a pile of birthday cupcakes looking for a goddamn coconut one, then tell her that you’re sorry. You could get it all wrong. Always, always wrong. Not understanding what you do. Doing the thing you hate. And then one night, by the light of the moon, she could crack you open and coax out your shame and demand that you look at it, look at her. And you could finally — even just for a moment — stop hating yourself for wanting.

** Heather Hogan puts it best:
-->The central conflict of human life can pretty much be summed by a self-hating rant the Apostle Paul goes on in the book of Romans, during the middle of which he lays down this tongue twister: “I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.” That’s the kind of conundrum most writers wouldn’t be ballsy enough to throw at even the main-est of main characters — hell, it took Terrence Malick years to explore that concept in The Tree of Life — much less a supporting minority character. But that nuanced enigma is Paige’s whole entire deal: What happens when you hate the thing you want? Then hate the embodiment of your desire? Then fall hopelessly in love with her?

Not only are they not willing to believe she had betrayed them, she actually tells them the truth about what is going on.

* "A is for A-l-i-v-e":
** Hanna and Mona, brought together by their current situation, are hanging out and shopping together like old times. After the shopping trip, Hanna tells Mona that she had fun. Mona responds that she knows Hanna didn't really have fun and that she was only hanging out with Mona to get the incriminating video of Ashley that Mona pulled out of Detective Wilden's car. What does Mona do next? She hands over the chip with the only copy of the video on it and advises Hanna to burn it. No blackmail, no demanding anything in return, none of the usual Mona tricks. She just gives it up. The whole moment is capped off by what she says to Hanna before leaving:
-->'''Mona:''' [[ItMeantSomethingToMe I really did love you...and I really was your friend.]]
