Beyond the Lights

Kaz:
I see you.

Noni:
What we had was perfect right?

Kaz:
We started on a lie. So it could never be perfect.

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.

Noni:
You know I always wondered when I'd do a shoot, and they'd tell me to hike up my shirt or take my shirt off, and I'd look to you to see if it was OK, and it was always OK.

Macy Jean:
Would you look around you? It is OK.

Noni:
No, it's not OK! 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!

Macy Jean:
[to a young Noni after she has won a trophy for second prize] Chuck it. Go on, throw it away.

Noni:
Why, mummy?

Macy Jean:
Do you want to be a runner up, or do you want to be a winner?

[young Noni throws it away, and it breaks]

Kaz:
The truth is the only safe ground to stand upon.

Noni:
I feel like I'm suffocating in the middle of the street and no one can see me dying.

Truth is the safe place to stand up on.
