I will leave you. You touch me like that again and I will FUCKING leave you!!

Celeste

I'll even get Snow White to sit on your husband's face, and maybe Dumbo can take a squat on yours!

Renata

Abigail: What's wrong with mom?
Ed: Why?
Abigail: You haven't noticed she's been a little agitated lately?
Ed: Honey, agitation is her preferred state.

Madeline: She wouldn't leave if she knew I had cancer.
Ed: But, you don't have cancer.
Madeline: I'd be willing to get it.

She doesn't need to know it's a therapist. Some of the best ones now dress up as clowns. She could think it's another birthday surprise.

Renata

Dr.: Has this ever happened before?
Perry: Yep. Sometimes I lash out.

Maddie, I just wanted to say that I know you're her mother, and Abby know it, too, and I will never try to encroach. Never. [hugs Madeline]

Bonnie

Renata: It felt really nice to be desired today. It meant a lot. Thank you.
Gordon: Honey, I always desire you. Usually, it just annoys you.
Renata: No. You want to have sex all the time. Today, you desired ME.

I have a lot of girlfriends, as you know, and never has one of them said to me, 'gee, I wish I'd had a sex a LOT sooner.'

Madeline [to Abigail]

Ziggy [whispering]: At pickup I heard one of the mothers say I was a little monster.
Jane: What? Ziggy, you're not a monster. There's nothing wrong with you! K?

Chloe: How can you not want to make up on this song? Come on.
Madeline: Makeup yes, not make out, silly.
Chloe: It's what you guys do when you get mad at each other. Make up, kiss, bang. Everything's better again.
Madeline: But it's different with married people.
Chloe: Why?
Madeline: I don't know, it just is. Don't start with me. [pauses to listen to music] This is a beautiful song, honey.

No. I love my grudges. I tend to them like little pets.

And bring me something chocolate that won't make my ass look fat.

Madeline

Come meet my knight in shining armor. She rescued me like a wounded dog in the street. And you know what else? She's funny.
