Bear Witness

The Handmaid's Tale 3×10

June: I don't want rest. I don't want to rest ever again.

Aunt Lydia: Perhaps God will deem this household worthy of a child after all, should he forgive us for taking you away from last month's Ceremony. Happily, we've returned you just in time for the next.
June: I believe that my time of prayer has led me to see my true purpose.
Aunt Lydia: Oh. You are a good girl, Ofjoseph!

Beth: Scones mean no. Welcome home.

June: ... Everything.

Commander Waterford: A Boston girl. Born and bred. Hardy.

Commander Lawrence: And when Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister, and said unto Jacob, "Give me children, or else I die."

Joseph: Are you sure?
June: Mmm-hmm.... It's easier if you close your eyes.

Aunt Lydia: A successful Ceremony. Praise be.

June: At least it wasn't you...

June: The punishment for contraception is being torn apart by dogs.

June: You can get out, too. You just have to bring them something. Something valuable. Kids. The stolen children of Gilead.

Beth: Muffins mean yes.

June: We're gonna need a bigger boat...
