The Handmaid's Tale
Wednesdays on HuluThe Handmaid's Tale Quotes
I'm not an American citizen. My allegiance is to God.
Serena
Luke: You were just protecting Nichole.
June: I went a little past protecting.
Luke: How past?
June: Just past.
Serena: Eleanor was quite the presence. The house must feel very empty without her.
Commander Lawrence: It does.
Serena: I always liked her.
Commander Lawrence: I can't say she felt the same, sorry to say.
June Osborne is a cancer. We have to cut her out.
Commander MacKenzie
I'll make sure Angela grows up to know where she got her beautiful smile and her sweet nature. You won't be forgotten.
Mrs. Putnam [to Janine]
You're an unusual woman, Serena, and we don't have the proper infrastructure for unusual women to live within our borders.
Commander Lawrence
Mark: It's been interesting being her. I spent so many years studying this country.
Serena: Is it different than you expected?
Mark: Not particularly, no. Surface-level beauty doing its best to paper over a stunning amount of hypocrisy.
June: Nick was there. I can talk to him. I need to talk with him.
Luke: We can't get in contact with him without Tuello's office.
Moira: There is a group at the border. Women. Not like official, but, um, I heard they've been having some luck getting messages to people inside.
June: What? When the fuck were you going to tell me that?
Moira: I wasn't going to tell you that because I think they're basically suicidal. They're a bunch of fuckin' traumatized refugees, and they're the last people you need to be around right now.
June: Well, you don't get to decide that.
Moira: Fine. I'll ask them to meet. For Hannah. Just me and you. No men allowed.
Lily: I'm one of the women you traded for Waterford.
June: Sorry I didn't do it sooner.
Lily: I don't know how you managed it, getting us out. All those kids.
June: I was lucky.
Lily: Women always say that when they've done something extraordinary.
Commander Lawrence: I have no plans to remarry.
Commander MacKenzie: Well, we'll have to discuss that later, as well. A single man has no place in leadership.
It's not pink though. She's not a little girl anymore.
Moira
Mark: Would you like to see your daughter in person rather than askin' about her?
Nick: That's a pipe dream.
Mark: I know you got a complicated past, but America can be a very forgiving place. If you make amends, get some visibility, play your part for a while. I'd like to help you and your daughter if you'll let me. We could help each other.
