Jezebels

The Handmaid's Tale 1×8

& Pryce: Idle hands are the devil’s workshop, as the Good Book says.
    Nick: Yeah... You know it’s not actually in the Bible, right?
    Pryce: ... No, it’s not. But there is a verse about idleness making the house fall apart.
    Nick: Sounds about right.

& Nick: ... I’ll find something.
    Pryce: It’s hard making it in a society that only cares about profit and pleasure. No wonder God has turned His back on us. No wonder there are no children. He doesn’t want them to grow up in this screwed-up world. Who can blame Him?

& Pryce: We have chapters in 30 states. I head up one of them. We’re called the Sons of Jacob. Come with me to a meeting...

& Commander: Up for some excitement? I thought maybe we could do something different tonight...
    Offred: Monopoly?

& Commander: You. Look. Stunning.

& Commander: There now, was that scary? A little exciting though, too, right? There is much more excitement to come.
    Offred: Can’t wait.

& Pryce: The wives will never accept it.
    Commander Guthrie: Well, that’s a non-issue.
    Commander Waterford: No, we won’t succeed without their support. You know that.
    Commander Pryce: Maybe the wife should be there for the act. It would be less of a violation. There is Scriptural precedent...
    Commander Waterford: «Act» may not be the best name from a branding perspective... The «Ceremony»?
    Commander Guthrie: Sounds good. Nice and Godly. The wives would eat that shit up.

& Nick: I think you’re right, sir. It’s better not to form attachments.
    Commander Waterford: Better for whom?
    Nick: Everybody.

& Offred: Who are all these people?
    Commander: Oh, officers, senior officials. And foreign visitors, of course, to stimulate diplomacy and business.
    Offred: I meant the women.
    Commander: Oh.

& Commander: All women who couldn’t assimilate. Some were working girls before. That one there, she’s a sociology professor. Or she was. We’ve got lawyers, a CEO, a few journalists... We’ve got quite a collection. They prefer it here.

& Nick: The Eyes thank you for your service.

& Commander: You do understand me, don’t you?

& Moira: I was a «corrupting influence.»... After they finished their questions, they gave me a choice, The Colonies or Jezebel’s. It’s a few good years before your pussy wears out.

& Moira: June, I know the way out. Black van, feet first. That’s it. Forget about escaping. This is Gilead. No one gets out.

& Moira: He isn’t us, and he isn’t in here. We’re alone, June.

& Commander: Don’t worry. We’ll get you home before you turn into a pumpkin.

& Commander Pryce: The uniformed corps of the Eyes is our most visible face. But our best intelligence comes from our plainclothes operatives.
    Nick: Anything I can do to help, Commander Pryce.

& Offred: The perfect gift. A girl trapped in a box. She only dances when someone else opens the lid, when someone else winds her up.

& Offred: There’s always someone, even when there is no one.
