Lydia Davis : I am so happy that we're friends again!
Victoria Grayson : [smiling broadly] Well it certainly appears that way, doesn't it? But then again, appearances can be deceiving, can't they? And you've practically made it an art form. Understand something, Lydia. Every time I smile at you across a room or we run into each other at a luncheon or I welcome you into my home? Let that smile be a reminder of just how much I despise you. And that every time I hug you? The warmth you feel is my hatred burning through.
[Hugs Lydia warmly]

Victoria Grayson : Did you honestly think I wouldn't notice the gaping hole where ten million dollars used to be? I've seen the bank receipt.
Conrad Grayson : I was trying to protect you.
Victoria Grayson : The only thing you were trying to protect is your weakness for her.
Conrad Grayson : She has the power to expose us, Victoria. I didn't have a choice.
Victoria Grayson : You could have called her bluff. After fifteen years of complicity, I don't think Lydia has it in her.
Conrad Grayson : Maybe not before you exiled her. But thanks to your handiwork, she no longer has anything to lose. I'd say we got away with a bargain.
[Victoria slaps Conrad]
Victoria Grayson : It's because of your handiwork we're in this situation in the first place.

Conrad Grayson : I'm gone, like, two days, and Daniel's off the wagon. How'd you let that happen?
Victoria Grayson : I had my hands full. Perhaps you can tell me where your hands have been.

Victoria Grayson : [coming out to where her daughter is sun-lounging by the pool] Missed you at breakfast.
Charlotte Grayson : Not hungry.
[reading message from Declan on cellphone]
Victoria Grayson : Charlotte. We're going to have to discuss our communication problems at some point. And rather than dwelling on the past, I think the remedy for us would be to find some common ground. Start spending some quality time together.
Charlotte Grayson : [takes off her sunglasses] What'd you have in mind?
Victoria Grayson : Well, for starters, I thought it might be fun if you joined me and the ladies for my weekly luncheon.
Charlotte Grayson : You're unbelievable, you know that? The only reason you want to parade me in front of your lady puppets is to prove I've forgiven you.
Victoria Grayson : Exactly how many more times do I have to apologize before you do?
Charlotte Grayson : You wished I'd never been born. Do me a favor and pretend I wasn't.
[rises from her chair and walks away, leaving regretful Victoria behind]

Victoria Grayson : [as Charlotte comes home] Daniel, is that you?
Charlotte Grayson : [marching up the stairs, determined to avoid mother] No, the other child. The disposable one.
Victoria Grayson : Charlotte, don't talk like that.
Charlotte Grayson : [without looking back] Here are the keys to your new car. Ground me, restrict me, do whatever you want. I could honestly care less.
Victoria Grayson : You keep it.
Charlotte Grayson : [Mom now has her attention] You're giving me a $200,000 car?
Victoria Grayson : If it means that you'll stop this torture, then, yes.
Charlotte Grayson : [ironically] Wow, Mom. I guess you really do love me after all.
[shakes her head at mother, and walks off, leaving her at a loss]

Conrad Grayson : Ugh. I'm gone, what, two days, and Daniel's off the wagon? How did you let that happen?
Victoria Grayson : I had my hands full. Perhaps you can tell me where your hands have been.

Victoria Grayson : [carries serving tray] Missed you at breakfast.
Charlotte Grayson : [ccolly] Not hungry.
Victoria Grayson : Charlotte, we're going to have to discuss our communication problems at some point. And rather than dwelling in the past, I think the remedy for us would be to find some common ground. Try spending some quality time together.
Charlotte Grayson : [sweetly] What do you have in mind?
Victoria Grayson : Well, for starters, I thought it would be fun if you joined me and the ladies for our weekly luncheon.
Charlotte Grayson : [angrily] You're unbelievable, you know that? The only reason you wanna parade me in front of your lady puppets is to prove I've forgiven you.
Victoria Grayson : Exactly how many more times do I have to apologize before you do?
Charlotte Grayson : You wished I'd never been born. Do me a favor and pretend I wasn't.

Victoria Grayson : [as her daughter comes home] Daniel, is that you?
Charlotte Grayson : No, the *other* child...
[as she goes up the stairs]
Charlotte Grayson : the disposable one.
Victoria Grayson : [follows the girl up the stairs] Charlotte, don't talk like that.
Charlotte Grayson : Here's the keys to your new car.
[hands them over her shoulder without looking back]
Charlotte Grayson : Ground me, restrict me, do whatever you want, I couldn't honestly care less.
Victoria Grayson : You keep it.
Charlotte Grayson : You're giving me a $200 000 car?
Victoria Grayson : If it means that you'll stop this torture, then yes.
