The Royals of Malibu
S3 E5 - "Promposal"
We worked our asses off to win the state championship. College scouts were all over us, then Reed had to go and kill somebody. I am warning you. No, no, no, no. You should be glad your mom isn't allowed to see you now.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E5 - "Promposal"
I can't believe you would risk your entire future over some petty insults. I don't care about anything, Dad.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E5 - "Promposal"
Maybe I deserve everything that's happening to me. Maybe I should be found guilty. Someone came by the other day asking about you. He said he worked for the LA Times.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E9 - "The Trial of Reed Royal"
I don't even know why I care about prom. It's so stupid.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E9 - "The Trial of Reed Royal"
I'm going to tell Steve that Val is dropping off a book for me, but you need to be here before sunset.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E9 - "The Trial of Reed Royal"
Of course I'm pissed about the plea deal, and I know I should let it go and make peace with Reed's decision. Seriously, I tried to do that, but, well, you know me. I spent the last few days snooping through every inch of Steve and Dinah's penthouse.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E9 - "The Trial of Reed Royal"
Steve's been a little... intense. Did you get the pictures I sent?
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E9 - "The Trial of Reed Royal"
I took them from Dinah's iPad. Her iCloud, technically. She keeps all her passwords on a sticky note, and she sticks that sticky note onto her iPad. Can you believe that? She has a folder in her iCloud called Just In Case. Obviously, I opened it, and it's pictures of a phone, probably Steve's phone, texting Maria.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E9 - "The Trial of Reed Royal"
Sorry. But yes, they were sexting, as you can see, in an old people kind of way. But some of these texts are so shady, Reed, like this one. He says, you better let me know next time Callum's out of the house, unless you want the three of us to have a more serious conversation. He's threatening to tell your dad about his affair with Maria. And look, she's asking him, do you have any pills?
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E9 - "The Trial of Reed Royal"
There's pictures of pill bottles in Steve's name. I don't recognize the medications, but if Dinah took photos of them, they must have been the same drugs found when they found Maria.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E9 - "The Trial of Reed Royal"
Yeah, I know that Steve probably had something to do with your mom's death, but I still don't know for sure who killed Brooke.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E9 - "The Trial of Reed Royal"
And so is Dinah. One of them did this to Brooke, I know it. And the proof is in that penthouse somewhere.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E9 - "The Trial of Reed Royal"
Fine. One more night. I have to go. Reed kisses me, and I can tell he doesn't want to let me go. I know it's dangerous, but I feel like this is my last chance to save him. So I have to go back.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E9 - "The Trial of Reed Royal"
Don't say anything. Just go. Ella. Go, Reed. Steve is almost shaking with anger the whole way up to the penthouse. He immediately takes my phone from me.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E9 - "The Trial of Reed Royal"
As soon as those elevator doors open, my instincts take over and I run to my room.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E9 - "The Trial of Reed Royal"
Okay, so originally my plan was to play it cool, wait for Steve and Dinah to go to bed, and then keep snooping. Obviously, I did not do a great job at keeping it cool. Emma!
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E9 - "The Trial of Reed Royal"
I dig through the boxes of stuff that Reid brought over here from the Royals' house. I never even bothered to unpack these things. I was convinced I wouldn't have to stay with Steve. Most of this stuff I don't need. Old school work, ugly Balenciaga sweatshirts. Reid clearly was just throwing random things in here. I find a bunch of phone chargers wrapped carefully in a Baby Glam tote bag.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E9 - "The Trial of Reed Royal"
I haven't seen that logo since the night of the launch party. Wait, that's not true. The last time I saw the Baby Glam logo, it was here, on a napkin I found in this penthouse. I know who killed Brooke. On the season finale of The Royals of Malibu. What's wrong with the elevator? Why won't it open? Steve locked it last night. We have to go to the police station.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E9 - "The Trial of Reed Royal"
Yes, Reed, I'm fine, but we have to go. Don't cry your mascara off. I won't. Okay, I'm ready. Let's go to prom. You told me you loved me, and it's okay, Val. If you just want to be friends... Don't you talk about her! Caleb! Holy shit! Dad hit him! Caleb, don't! I don't want anyone to get hurt because of me! Is this going to be how I die?

The Royals of Malibu
S3 E9 - "The Trial of Reed Royal"
Off, please. I have those letters I found in Dinah's purse. This one is addressed to your mom.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E9 - "The Trial of Reed Royal"
Wait, this letter says Steve had an affair with Maria. It says Steve gave Maria the drugs that killed her.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E9 - "The Trial of Reed Royal"
Fucking of course I would have told you that! This is insane! It's... It's wrong! And you should have at least waited because... Because I can fix this. I can save you. I mean, that letter Dinah wrote has to be real.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E9 - "The Trial of Reed Royal"
I'm going to find the real killer and I'm going to tell the police.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E9 - "The Trial of Reed Royal"
You can't give up. You cannot give up on yourself, Reed. Please. You told me we were going to be together forever. You promised me you wouldn't leave me.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E9 - "The Trial of Reed Royal"
What are you talking about? I'm going to see you every fucking weekend. I'm going to be there for you.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E4 - "Daydream About Me"
And Easton, you got the burrito, right? Oh, hell yeah. Thanks, Val.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E8 - "Hotel Hook Up"
Alright, Stingrays! I want to congratulate you all for a fucking phenomenal performance against The Bay School! My business mentor and favorite popstar, Selena Gomez, once told me in a private conversation that perfection is impossible.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E8 - "Hotel Hook Up"
I refuse to believe that in regards to my own abilities, but her opinion has allowed me to feel so proud of your imperfect, yet very much good enough victory today.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E8 - "Hotel Hook Up"
Now please get absolutely trashed on my tab. But try to avoid breaking furniture, because a lot of this stuff is antique. Go Stingray! Go Stingray!
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E8 - "Hotel Hook Up"
Ich verstehe die Waterpolo-Team, die bereits ein Land gewonnen hat, und viele meiner Mädchen sind dieses Jahr mit Medaillen weggegangen. Jetzt? Ich gebe mir keine Ahnung darüber. Ich vertrete jedes Rennen, als wäre es das einzige Rennen. Versteh' dich nicht. Wir haben letztes Jahr schiefgelaufen, und ich mag es nicht, es zu verlieren. Ist sie... auf dich zu schauen?
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E8 - "Hotel Hook Up"
Butterfly. Also streng dich. Du hast gesagt, dass wir eins sind. Eins! Eins! Eins! Eins! Eins! Eins! Eins! Eins! Eins! Eins! Eins! Eins! Eins! Eins! Eins!
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E8 - "Hotel Hook Up"
No, I will not. What the fuck? If Breed goes to trial next year, I want to be there as much as possible. Breed's not going to be here next year. And you can write your little prison wife letters to him during our breaks. What are you talking about? He's innocent. Well, yeah, sure, but... Oh. Niemand hat dir was gesagt. Was habe ich gesagt?
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E8 - "Hotel Hook Up"
Ich glaube, du hast dich von deinem kriminellen Vater enttäuscht, in Malibu zu kommen. Oder... weißt du das auch nicht?
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E8 - "Hotel Hook Up"
Reed wird nicht nächstes Jahr hier sein, Ella. Er wird im Gefängnis sein.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E8 - "Hotel Hook Up"
Nein, Ella, wir haben das schon einmal besprochen. Schau, wenn niemand anderes ehrlich mit dir sein wird, dann werde ich es. Du... du weißt nicht, worüber du sprichst. Obwohl ich von dem Abendessen-Club weggeflogen bin, schaue ich immer wieder mit Easton ein. Hast du das von Easton gehört? Du musst dich vorbereiten, dass Reed lange weggeht. Er... Er ist unnötig. Er hat nichts gemacht.
The Royals of Malibu

S3 E7 - "Friends to Lovers"
I kiss her again. I've never felt this kind of connection with anyone. I feel like my feet are lifting off the ground. I take her in, and then the kiss ends. And reality crashes down around me, louder than the waves of the ocean down below us. She looks at me like I'm magic. And I choke. Val? I need to think. I'm sorry. I can tell that I hurt her with my reaction.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E7 - "Friends to Lovers"
But the second after our kiss ended, all I could think about was how crazy I got during my last relationship. I was jealous, emotional, way too dramatic. And I know people can grow and change, but growth can only happen so fast. What are you supposed to do when you meet the perfect person and you're just not ready for her yet? Did I just mess everything up?
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E7 - "Friends to Lovers"
What do you mean? We drove back to Malibu and I told her I still needed time, and now she's gonna go to prom with Easton.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E7 - "Friends to Lovers"
I'm scared, Elle. She's the only thing I can think about. When Easton asked her out, I was jealous, of course. But what if I get toxic again?
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E7 - "Friends to Lovers"
Yeah, I should have told you about the flirty vibes a long time ago. I'm always getting on your case about not sharing stuff with me.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E7 - "Friends to Lovers"
Girl, you are doing enough. And you listened to me ramble for like 30 minutes.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E7 - "Friends to Lovers"
Oh, I totally forgot to ask you. How'd tryouts go? Did you drown Savannah again?
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E7 - "Friends to Lovers"
Ooh, but now you'll be able to spend alone time with Reed in a hotel. Sexy! Luxury! Ooh, that's what you wanted, right?
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E7 - "Friends to Lovers"
We could have eaten closer to home, but I don't trust pan dulce made in Malibu. Your coffee? Thank you. Really good. Yeah, that's good. This is a perfect Saturday tradition. Let's do it forever? Perfect. Okay, what's your rating? 10 out of 10. This is our fourth panaderia Saturday. They can't all be 10. I don't know what you want me to say. I love bread.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E7 - "Friends to Lovers"
Nope. They're rich, but not murderers. Probably. Fuck.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E7 - "Friends to Lovers"
Yeah. Oh, damn. Yeah, I'm going to be doing photography for the yearbook, but won't it be weird with Nova there?
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E7 - "Friends to Lovers"
I know. Maybe I'll write her a letter or something, just to get all of my feelings out.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E7 - "Friends to Lovers"
Yeah, like the thing where you write a letter and don't actually send it. So you say your most batshit crazy thoughts without consequences.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E7 - "Friends to Lovers"
you're the perfect woman you know that whatever you're just sucking up to me because i have no friends i'm your friend and i'm very good at it like professional grade who else do you need no one here hand me your coffee so you can drive oh we're halfway to santa barbara You don't actually think you have no friends, right?
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E7 - "Friends to Lovers"
Look. I always thought your crew was fake. You thought I was fake? Here, try this pastry. Ooh, it has guava inside. Don't feed me pastry. Aw, you're pretty. You're so pretty, Nova. Don't try to flatter me. You thought I was stupid? Yeah, but in a vaguely prejudicial way. I think everyone who buys authentic Gucci is a little stupid. Okay, fair. What do you think of me now?
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E7 - "Friends to Lovers"
Well, now I talk to you all day, every day. We hang out all the time. I've met your parents. I've seen you read books. I've watched you do math in your head. Shut up! A couple months ago, you blended in with every other rich kid at the Cove. Now, you're my number one on Snapchat. We arguably know too much about each other.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E7 - "Friends to Lovers"
I answered your question before you even asked it, Nova. You're fucking perfect. Now then I get to Santa Barbara and it's like a big weight has been lifted off of my shoulders. That's how I always feel when I get out of Malibu. Even going down to other parts of LA makes me feel like I can be my real self. In Santa Barbara, no one knew us.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E7 - "Friends to Lovers"
They're coming out with new berries? I thought we knew all the berries already.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E7 - "Friends to Lovers"
Uh, are you zipped in? I want to see. So does that mean you like it or? Whoever wore that thing to prom probably loved it very much. But you cannot be seen in that shimmery, fluffy 80s nightmare. It's only $6. Yeah, that's how thrift stores work. I'm buying it. Where are you going to wear it? I'm walking out of here in it. You're not. Nova, you told me you had social anxiety.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E7 - "Friends to Lovers"
Ugh, this place is so fucking cute. You picked a good place to stay, Nova. Even though I can barely get up the stairs in this dress.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E7 - "Friends to Lovers"
So, what do you want to do tonight? I was trying to look up some bars that we could try to sneak into, but I don't even know what the vibe is. What? Why are you looking at me like that?
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E7 - "Friends to Lovers"
No, it's totally cool. I just looked up bars because I thought you would get bored of me. I just kind of want to get into my PJs and watch a movie. Look, I'm just happy to get out of this scratchy, carry-at-the-prom monstrosity. We'll watch a movie. But we didn't end up watching a movie after all. We stayed up talking to each other about everything. Friends, family, exes.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E7 - "Friends to Lovers"
Don't be mad. What happened? Ella, there's something I've been hiding from you. I'm a really good friend. Which is kinda a hidden secret, seeing as I don't actually have a lot of friends. When you know me, I'm loud, I talk fast, I'm funny. But something about the cove makes my jaw lock up. I don't like those kids. Ugh. I don't fit in with them, and they don't really seem to like me either.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E7 - "Friends to Lovers"
We tucked ourselves into bed and somehow she even got me talking about She Who Must Not Be Me. After how I acted with Tam, I don't trust myself in another relationship. I don't know what came over me. Like, I was La Toxica for real. I don't ever want to get like that again.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E7 - "Friends to Lovers"
Now I am, yeah. For a while, my parents were far away, my aunt and uncle were gone a lot for work, and I wasn't talking to Savannah, so honestly, I didn't have anyone to come out to. But when things got really bad with Tia, my mom noticed I wasn't doing good, so she flew out, and I told her everything. What did she say? She asked if Tam made me happy. And I was like, no, I'm miserable as shit.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E7 - "Friends to Lovers"
This fucking sucks. But my mom never said anything about me being gay. I think she already knew.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E7 - "Friends to Lovers"
Then, before we fell asleep, she scooched all the way across the giant bed so her back was up against me. Her hair smelled like roses and something sweet. She reached for my arm and tucked it around her waist.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E7 - "Friends to Lovers"
Normally, my heart would be beating out of my chest. I'd be wondering, what the hell does this mean? Is Nova coming on to me? Is she just trying to push my buttons? Or is this something real? But being close to Nova, I just don't worry about that kind of thing when I'm with her. Before my mind can even start racing, I'm asleep.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E7 - "Friends to Lovers"
I don't want to be controversial, but a lot of girls are way more bi-curious than they'd like to admit.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E7 - "Friends to Lovers"
So I didn't take Nova's cuddle session that seriously. Sexuality is confusing and I am very hot. Borderline irresistible. That night with Nova probably didn't mean anything. Actually, it felt like it was better if it didn't.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E7 - "Friends to Lovers"
Wow. It's so beautiful. You realize we live by the same exact ocean, right? It looks better slightly north.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E7 - "Friends to Lovers"
I don't believe you never had a real boyfriend. You always have a date. Every dance, every party, there's some guy hanging around you. Right now it's Easton.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E7 - "Friends to Lovers"
Okay. Did you want to keep hiking, or... Don't avoid this conversation. About... us.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E7 - "Friends to Lovers"
I... Our friendship is really important to me, Nova. I never liked any of those boys. So what does that mean? Am I gay? You can't ask someone else if you're gay, Nova. I have no idea.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E7 - "Friends to Lovers"
Actually, yes, if you Google it. But only you are going to know what your sexuality is, you know? And you're still just in high school, so you don't have to figure any of that out for sure. You might not be queer at all. Maybe you have a little crush on me because I'm a really, really good friend.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E7 - "Friends to Lovers"
I didn't know you made those and they were delicious, but they were for Savannah.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E7 - "Friends to Lovers"
Hola, ¿cómo estás? ¿Me da dos cafés, por favor? So me and Nova have been hanging out a lot. She's been basically exiled from her former group of popular friends, which bumps her out for some reason. Just kidding, but not really. Anyway, I had the idea to do a trip to Santa Barbara. I got the goods. Your favorite pinconcha and a couple others that look good. Oh my god, I'm starving. Sorry.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E7 - "Friends to Lovers"
Nova kisses me and suddenly I'm forced to confront every scary feeling I've had for this girl. Her arms twist around me and I'm hugging her into my chest. She breathes me in. And I kiss her back. And it's so crazy! I know, it sounds insane, but in that moment, everything was perfect. Is that okay?
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E2 - "Daddy Issues"
No. I watched you put Savannah through hell, and I won't let you do it to another girl in my life.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E2 - "Daddy Issues"
See, this is the Malibu nobody talks about. The Malibu with absolutely no parking on a Saturday.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E2 - "Daddy Issues"
This beach day was supposed to be a fun distraction. Instead, it's spiking my blood pressure worse than an episode of Euphoria.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E2 - "Daddy Issues"
Plus, you're stressing about Daddy Steve, who has risen from the dead like Jesus.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E2 - "Daddy Issues"
Man, that ugly Lego car wouldn't fit in a compact spot anyway. Why is walking through the sand so hard? Are we that out of shape? Apparently. So is Steve hiding out in the royal house indefinitely? When's he going to go home to Dinah?
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E2 - "Daddy Issues"
Eventually, you'll have to spend more than 15 minutes with Steve. You're literally living in the same house. It's a big house. Hey, can we put our towels down here?
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E2 - "Daddy Issues"
I told this girl from my history class that I would visit her at work. She's a lifeguard on the weekends, and I think I see her at the next tower. Oh, she sees us!
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E2 - "Daddy Issues"
Hey, I'm Nova. Nova's in history class with me. She's on the swim team too, actually.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E1 - "Handcuffs and Hook Ups"
Yeah, I just saw Easton take, like, three shots at the bar, and I told Callum, and now he's gonna be so pissed at me, and... Hey, this isn't your fault. I can't do it anymore. I gotta go.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E1 - "Handcuffs and Hook Ups"
I couldn't find her. I kept calling, but she, like, didn't pick up.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E10 - "To Catch A Killer"
Oh mein Gott! Du siehst so wunderschön aus in deinen Tränen. Und du bist in rot. Sie hat sich mit mir verabschiedet.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E10 - "To Catch A Killer"
Eavesdropping. I know we've been spending time together again, Nova, and I love our friendship. But I haven't been completely honest with you about how I feel. Okay. Wie fühlst du dich, Val? Ähm, verärgert? Oh nein. Aber das ist okay. Ich habe Angst, dass ich dich zerstören werde. Oder dass ich besetzungslos, toxisch, unsicher werde. Warum denkst du, dass du so sein wirst?
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E10 - "To Catch A Killer"
Weil, Nova... Weil du mir so speziell bist. Du bist verdammt wunderschön und so, so kind. Und wir haben wahrscheinlich über alles gesprochen. Außer, ich glaube, über das hier. Was? Du hast mir gesagt, dass du mich liebst und... Es ist okay, Val.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E10 - "To Catch A Killer"
Wenn du nur Freunde sein willst... Ich will das nicht. Ich will das überhaupt nicht.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E10 - "To Catch A Killer"
Ich liebe dich auch, Nova. Ich will immer mit dir verliebt sein. Do you want to be my girlfriend? Yes. I want that so much.
The Royals of Malibu
S3 E10 - "To Catch A Killer"
If I start to get crazy, you're not gonna be crazy. And if you start feeling insecure, just tell me and we'll figure it out. I'm always gonna make sure that you feel okay.
