Sundays 9:00 PM on HBOBig Little Lies Season 1 Episode 1: "Somebody's Dead" Quotes
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.
Madeline
And bring me something chocolate that won't make my ass look fat.
Madeline
Jane: You're like, so nice.
Madeline: This is Monterey. We pound people with nice.
Celeste: To death.
You guys are right. You are so right. And for some reason that makes me feel wrong.
Jane
Jane: How was it?
Ziggy: Fun! I made friends!
Can you say you're sorry to Amabella? She's hurt quite badly.
Renata
Jane just didn't fit here. Sort of like a dirty old Prius parked outside of Barney's.
Harper
The teacher couldn't have handed it worse. Can you pick out the suspect, Amabella? Are you kidding me?
Madeline
Gordon: You OK?
Renata: Fine. I'm not liked.
Gordon: What was that?
Renata: I said I'm not liked.
Gordon: That simply isn't true, honey.
Renata: It's one thing to be demonized for having the temerity of a career, but look at us. Look at our life. What kind of woman chooses to work? Certainly not a mother, not by any acceptable standards. You should have seen the way they looked at me today. Oh, my God. And on the one day that I chose not to go to the office and join my daughter for her orientation and then defend her when she's physically assaulted. And then yes, I reacted, humanly like any mother would. And was met with utter contempt.
Abigail: You seem a little wobbly. Are you having one of your massive periods?
Madeline: No. No. What people don't tell you is that you lose your children. As beautiful and wonderful as you are now, the little girl whose hair I used to detangle and had bad dreams and used to crawl into my bed? She's gone. I guess that's what I'm feeling a little bit. Compounded a little bit by the fact your sister's going into the first grade. I'm losing my babies. Which has been clinically compared to a massive period, I think.
Chloe: Guys, mom had a day.
Madeline: And don't your start.
Chloe: I'm on your side, woman.
Chloe: When I grow up, I'm gonna run a massive label. Do you have plans?
Ziggy: No.
Chloe: What kind of music do you listen to? Don't tell me. Bowie.
