Zoe Murphy
- Zoe Murphy: What about your dad?
- Evan Hansen: My dad. Um, he lives in Colorado, so... He left when I was seven.
- Zoe Murphy: That sucks. Mine died when I was one, so... I sort of win.
- [Evan arrives at the Murphy's house after his letter is posted online. Larry and Cynthia are arguing faintly in distance]
- Zoe Murphy: Things really aren't good here.
- Evan Hansen: I know. I just-- I had to come.
- Cynthia Murphy: Where did they even-- How did they get Connor's note?
- Larry Mora: I don't know.
- Cynthia Murphy: Like, did they hack our computers? They hacked our emails? Did-- these people are adults. Did you see their pictures? These people are adults.
- [Zoe's ringtone goes off]
- Larry Mora: Look, maybe let it ring.
- Zoe Murphy: I'm sick of hiding.
- [answers her phone]
- Zoe Murphy: Hello? Yeah, have-have fun with your miserable life.
- Larry Mora: What did they say? What's the number?
- Zoe Murphy: It's blocked. It doesn't-- No, it doesn't matter.
- Cynthia Murphy: That's it. I'm calling the police.
- Larry Mora: No, look, right now, maybe the best thing to do is to just stay calm, all right? And sit...
- Cynthia Murphy: That's always your solution, isn't it? Wait and see. Let's just wait and see, right, Larry?
- Larry Mora: What are the police going to do? It's the Internet. Wh-- Are they gonna arrest the Internet?
- Cynthia Murphy: I had to beg you, every step of the way, for-for therapy, for-for rehab.
- Larry Mora: What? N-No, no. You went lurching from one miracle cure to the next...
- Cynthia Murphy: Oh, you're-- Really?
- Larry Mora: ...because all he needed was another $20,000 weekend yoga retreat.
- Cynthia Murphy: What was your alternative, other than picking apart everything that I did?
- Larry Mora: How about putting him on one program and sticking to it?
- Cynthia Murphy: Remember what he said the first time that Connor tried to kill himself? That he's just looking for attention.
- Larry Mora: For Christ's sake.
- Cynthia Murphy: He just wants attention!
- Larry Mora: I'm not going to sit here and defend myself!
- Cynthia Murphy: You couldn't understand him. You never understood him because he wasn't yours!
- Zoe Murphy: Mom, what the hell?
- Larry Mora: I raised him from the time he was three years old.
- Cynthia Murphy: He was getting better, and you refused to see it. Ask Evan.
- [to Evan]
- Cynthia Murphy: Tell them, Evan. Evan did everything that he could.
- Larry Mora: Evan? Evan was in denial of what was happening.
- Zoe Murphy: Do not bring him into this.
- Cynthia Murphy: Read the note, Larry. Read what he said.
- [from the letter]
- Cynthia Murphy: "I just wish that everything was different."
- Larry Mora: I tried. But he was my son!
- Cynthia Murphy: He wanted to be better!
- Zoe Murphy: Please.
- Larry Mora: I-I tried everything!
- Zoe Murphy: Stop it! Just please stop! Please stop fighting!
- Cynthia Murphy: He was trying to be better! He was trying!
- Larry Mora: And he was failing.
- Cynthia Murphy: We failed him.
- Zoe Murphy: The only time I saw you two together was when he was screaming in your face at school last week.
- Cynthia Murphy: He was screaming at you?
- Evan Hansen: Yeah, yeah, um...
- Cynthia Murphy: Well, that wasn't very nice.
- Zoe Murphy: Well, Connor wasn't very nice, so that actually makes sense.
- Cynthia Murphy: I think that everybody at this table can agree that Connor was, um... a complicated person.
- Zoe Murphy: No, he was a bad person.
- Larry Mora: Zoe, please.
- Zoe Murphy: Don't pretend like you don't agree with me.
- Cynthia Murphy: You refuse to remember any of the good things.
- Zoe Murphy: Because there were no good things.
- Zoe Murphy: Just be glad we get to have real ice cream. My mom was Buddhist last year, so we couldn't have any animal products.
- Evan Hansen: She was, um, Buddhist last year but not this year?
- Zoe Murphy: Yep. That's sort of what she does. She gets into a lot of different things. For a while, it was Pilates. The Secret. Buddhism. Et cetera.
- Evan Hansen: It's cool that she's interested in so much different stuff.
- Zoe Murphy: Yeah, she's not, though. That's just what happens when you're rich and you don't have a job. You get a little crazy.
- Larry Mora: How was school?
- Zoe Murphy: Terrific. All of a sudden, people I've never met want to be my best friend. I'm the dead kid's sister, didn't you know?
- Cynthia Murphy: I'm sure they mean well.
- Zoe Murphy: I'm sure they don't.
- Evan Hansen: And he noticed that you still fill out the quizzes that they put in those teen magazines.
- Zoe Murphy: I, I do that ironically.
