— Miya Chinen, Episode 4
This softer side of Miya is easy to miss if you’re not paying attention. It’s brief, it’s calm, and it says so much. Even the snarkiest characters carry concern in their own way, and this line is a beautiful example of quiet compassion.
Overconfidence is poison, but true confidence is power.
— JOE, Episode 7
Now this is the Joe wisdom I live for. It’s a subtle but powerful difference, ego versus self-belief. This line frames confidence as something earned, grounded in humility, rather than bluster. A lesson worth holding onto.

— Adam, Episode 8
Yes, that line. Whether you laughed, cringed, or gasped, this quote became instantly iconic. It’s Adam in a nutshell: provocative, inclusive (in the most chaotic way), and completely unfiltered. Love him or hate him, he owns the room.
