The Handmaid's Tale 1×2

& Offred: I don’t know. I’m not that kind of person.
    Ofglen: No one is until they have to be.

& Offred: Now, the Guardians of the Faithful and American soldiers still fight with tanks in the remains of Chicago. Now, Anchorage is the capital of what’s left of the United States, and the flag that flies over that city has only two stars. Now, darkness and secrets are everywhere. Now, there has to be an «us.» Because, now, there is a «them.»

& Offred: What will she give birth to? An Unbaby, with a pinhead or a snout like a dog’s or no heart? The chances for a healthy birth are one in five, if you can get pregnant at all.

& June: Where are the babies?
    Nurse: Oh, we had a difficult night. Two went to the intensive care unit. And the others are with God.

& Ofglen: If he accuses you of something, don’t defend yourself. Don’t explain. Just apologize. They love to be forgiving.

& Offred: To want is to have a weakness.

& Commander Waterford: I want... This will sound silly. I’d like to play a game with you...

& Offred: We’ve been sent good weather.
    — Yes. Which I receive with joy.
    Offred: .... Has Ofglen been transferred to a new post so soon?
    — I am Ofglen.
    Offred: ...... Fuck.
