Big Little Lies 1×2

& Madeline: The ocean is powerful. Mostly it’s vast. It’s full of life, mystery. Who knows what lies out there beneath the surface?
    Chloe: Monsters?

& Madeline: You know what? I’m a lady and I’ve never said this to anybody, ever, in my entire life, but I’m gonna say it to you... You can go fuck yourself on the head!

& Chloe: We’re half-sisters. Sort of. My mom was married to her dad.

& Abigail: You really shouldn’t encourage her to play with dolls.
    Madeline: And why is that, exactly?
    Abigail: It’s a little 1960s, not to mention sexist. Is it a Barbie doll?
    Chloe: You can’t put a phone in a Barbie, dummy.
    Madeline: Chloe!
    Chloe: Barbies aren’t allowed anyways.

& Samantha: Scratch the surface of any Jimmy Stewart... Charlie Manson.

& Celeste: Men can be a little more intuitive than we give them credit for, you know?

& Joseph: ... Understood, but we need to pick our battles, and this is just...
    Madeline: And sometimes our battles pick us. We can’t quit. We just can’t.
    Joseph: Is this about the play or winning?

& Principal Nippal: She played a song, she invited Zigfield and Amabella to dance, and it seems your daughter has inherited the «let’s solve everyone else’s problems» gene.

& Chloe: How can you not wanna make up on this song? Come on.
    Madeline: Make up, yes, not make out, silly.
    Chloe: It’s what you guys do when you get mad at each other. Big hug, kiss, bang, and everything’s better again.

& Madeline: Can I just say one thing?
    Eddie: You never leave it at one thing.
