Serena Joy: Amends?

Serena Joy: Fred, please...
Fred: ...[unbuckles his belt] he is faithful and just to forgive us.

The Handmaid's Tale Season 2 Episode 8 Quotes

Serena: It's a small sacrifice to be welcomed back into God's grace. [pause] I do truly detest knitting. To be frank.

We do our work in the evening. She writes; I read. This is the new normal, and an offense to God. In another life, maybe we could have been colleagues, but in this one, we're heretics.

She seems pretty fucking happy.
