Aunt Lydia: Mrs. Waterford, I've worked with many wives and handmaids. This part is always hard.
Serena Joy: Mothers. Mothers and handmaids.
Aunt Lydia: Ah. It's only natural to resent her. God will forgive you for that.
Serena Joy: Well, she makes it difficult.
Aunt Lydia: Hm. She's strong. But that means your child is strong. You understand that everything that happens now must be for the good of the child?
Serena: You're sure that she understands that?
Aunt Lydia: I will make sure of it. [takes a cigarette out of Serena Joy's hand] No more of this. Bad for the baby.

The Handmaid's Tale Season 2 Episode 4 Quotes

Aunt Lydia

Aunt Lydia: I see you've eaten well, Offred. Third day in a row.
June: [A harsh grimace on her face] It's June. You know my fucking name.
