Sundays 9:00 PM on HBOBig Little Lies Quotes
By the way, did you see Renatta getting up that new teacher's ass? I thought she was going to have to get out her snorkel.
Madeline
Madeline: But Celeste tells me you continue to be so supportive with her and the boys.
Mary Louise: She should probably just get a proper housekeeper. You're very short.
Madeline: Excuse me?
Mary Louise: I don't mean it in a negative way. Maybe I do. I find little people to be untrustworthy. My apologies. I pride myself on being a very good judge of character, but you have always presented such a difficult read. You seem like a nice person, loving, but also, you strike me as a wanter.
Madeline: A wanter.
Mary Louise: Mmmm. You know, there are people in life who content themselves with what they have and then there are others who just, they just WANT.
Madeline: I'm not a wanter.
Mary Louise: Oh, you don't have to take it personally. I'm a wanter myself. You know what I want? I want Perry back. I want to know what happened that night, and I'm very tempted to ask you, but I doubt I would get the, uh, truth, would I?
Madeline: Your son lost his balance, and he fell.
Mary Louise: Yes, that seems to be the company line, depending on whose company you keep.
You're still married, Celeste, and your husband is dead.
Dr. Reisman
Ed: Look, Nathan, I'm no expert on marriage. Something tells me that if you're seeking out the help of the husband of your ex-wife to lead the communication charge with your new one... [cocks his head]
Nathan: Why do you always have to be so snide?
Ed: I don't mean to be snide.
Nathan: No, you don't mean to be; it just comes naturally. It's like you're a snide fuck. That's what you are. You're a snide fuck.
You know what kids do at college? They drink, they fuck, they mull over a sex change. I'm not going. I'm not going!
Abigail
Aquarium Dude: You're one of the Monterey Five, right?
Jane: The Monterey Five?
Madeline: You're going to college because I said so!
Abby: Because you said so? What do you know? You didn't go to college!
Madeline: That's EXACTLY why you're going to college. Exactly! Because you will have NO LIFE!
Jane: Do you ever hate me? Just a little bit?
Celeste: How could I hate you?
Jane: Because I slept with your husband. I mean I didn't...
Celeste: He raped you.
Jane: But I knew he was married. I didn't know he was married to YOU, but I knew he was married to somebody.
So. Who are we planning to kill?
Mary Louise
I know I have this madness, these fucking demons in here, but I'm fighting them. I'm fighting them!
Perry
Tom: You know, ah, I've actually been trying to figure out a way to impress you for a while now, I just haven't had my chance.
Jane: You're straight?
Tom: What?
Dr. Reisman: You gonna leave him?
Celeste: He's going away in the morning, so...
Dr. Reisman: OK
Celeste: We just have to go to this school gala and then...
Dr. Reisman: Oh, Jesus. It's one thing should he kill you, but God forbid you miss a party. You know, your husband is ill, Celeste, but so are you. There are children in the house.
Celeste: I told you he will not hurt the children. He will never hurt the children!
