- Serena Joy Waterford: How could you be so stupid? They hate you... She keeps running away from you.
- Fred Waterford: Me? If you'd shown that girl one ounce of kindness, she would never have left.
- Serena Joy Waterford: Kindness? You raped her yesterday!
- Fred Waterford: That was your idea! I did this to fix your mess!
- Serena Joy Waterford: I gave up everything for you. And for the cause. And I only ever wanted one thing in return. I wanted a baby.
- June Osborne: [first lines, voiceover] I'm sorry there's so much pain in this story. I'm sorry it's in fragments - like a body caught in crossfire. Or pulled apart by force. But there's nothing I can do to change it. I've tried to put in some of the good things as well.
- Serena Joy Waterford: What are we going to do? Explain this away? We can't even report it... They'll say we're part of the Resistance.
- Fred Waterford: I'll handle it.
- Serena Joy Waterford: You'll handle it - just like you handled this? They'll put us on the wall!
- Fred Waterford: Yeah, maybe they'll hang us side by side. Just my fucking luck.
- Holly Maddox: I went into labor in the middle of performing a uterine myomectomy. I finished the procedure, I closed, and had 20 more hours of labor.
- Moira Strand: Woah. I bet doctors get the best drugs - you had like three epidurals, didn't you?
- Holly Maddox: Uh, I was unmedicated, and I wanted to know what it feels like.
- Moira Strand: Seriously?
- June Osborne: Holly. Your name is Holly. You have a big sister. Her name is Hannah. And one day, you're gonna meet her.
- [Voiceover]
- June Osborne: I keep on going with this limping and mutilated story because I want you to hear it, as I will hear yours too, if I ever get the chance. If I meet you or if you escape. In the future, or in heaven. By telling you anything at all, I am believing in you. I believe you into being. Because I'm telling you this story, I will your existence. I tell, therefore you are.
- Serena Joy Waterford: You are such a fucking idiot!
- Fred Waterford: Fuck, when did you become such a bitch?
- June Osborne: She's apparently started dating some guy from New York, so whatever you do, don't bring up baseball.
