- Constance: I also remember, every time I see that ghostly eye, that I was - and continue to be - a hell of a *shot*.
- Hayden: You know what I could go for? A nice, big, fat, juicy...
- [she gets bludgeoned in the face with a shovel]
- Charles Montgomery: What have you done to that baby? Can't even tell if it's a girl or a boy.
- Nora Montgomery: You're a disgrace, Charles. How you can call yourself a man is beyond me. You think I came all the way here from Philadelphia for this? This life? This... house?
- Charles Montgomery: I built you this house exactly the way you wanted it.
- Nora Montgomery: And how many servants do we have? Two? And I'm expected to do everything else? Good, Charles. Drink your talent away. You're a waste. Even looking at you I'm sick to my stomach.
- Charles Montgomery: You'll see. They will write articles about me one day in the Boston Medical Journal.
- Nora Montgomery: Ha!
- Charles Montgomery: [Throws his wine glass, it hits the wall and shatters]
- Nora Montgomery: [laughing] Good, Charles. Break everything!
- Nora Montgomery: [the baby cries, Nora can't be bothered. irritated, she rings the bell for the nanny] Daphne, when you hear the baby crying, come in straightaway and bring him upstairs.
- Daphne: Yes, ma'am. Yes, angel. Come here. It's all right, shhh.
- Nora Montgomery: They came again today. The bill collectors. Charles? DO YOU HEAR ME?
- Charles Montgomery: I'm not deaf! Would that I were.
- Nora Montgomery: Now you listen to me. You're going to support this family one way or the other. I've arranged for a girl to come tomorrow morning with $60 cash. She's in trouble. She probably has friends. So you'd better not be blotto.
- Constance: [hands Moira a piece of the Harmons' silverware] Do me a favor and polish this up before I take it, won't you? It's cruddy with corrosion, and do you know why? Because you *are* a shitty maid.
- Nora Montgomery: Damn it, Charles. Are you down in the basement again? Charles?
- Charles Montgomery: For God's sake, I'm working!
- Nora Montgomery: Working. I wish. Now come upstairs for dinner, you've made us wait five whole minutes.
- Charles Montgomery: [rips the bat wing off the baby pig corpse he had sewn it on to] You've ruined it.
- Dr. Ben Harmon: I didn't do anything. You heard it on the tape. She did it to herself.
- Detective Jack Colquitt: [dryly] Right. It's not a crime to be an asshole.
