• Mother Buchanan : Bree, you owe me.

  Bree : Just because you bought me lunch doesn't mean I have to give you grandchildren!

  Mother Buchanan : You are my last chance for grandchildren. Alexandria has given me one grandchild in eighteen years... I guess she's waiting to get her figure back. I don't know what Delilah's problem is, she is built to breed! I have seen hungry newborn babies stand up and run toward her. And Vivian, well...

  Vivian : Well, what? I gave you two grandchildren.

  Mother Buchanan : Oh, please! Wolves could have done a better job of raising those boys!

• Mother Buchanan : You know, Alexandria, the last person who insulted me was Mr. Kinski, the butcher's assistant.

  Alex : Oh yeah, that guy who disappeared recently.

  Mother Buchanan : Did he?

• Mother Buchanan : Delilah, this is just a minor setback. We love you, we care about you, we're here for you! Bree, be a dear, and make me a plate to go.

• Mother Buchanan : I hear that Delilah is unhappy. And an unhappy Delilah makes an unhappy Charles. And an unhappy Charles makes an unhappy Mother Buchanan.

  Vivian : And a happy Mother Buchanan would look like...?

  Mother Buchanan : You may never know, Vivian.
