Mare of Easttown 1×7

Detective Mare Sheehan: Wherever you go after this... I hope they treat you better than we did.
Deacon Mark Burton: I don't have anywhere to go, Detective. Easttown is my home.
Detective Mare Sheehan: Yeah...

Detective Mare Sheehan: You know what? I'm fucking... I'm not gonna have this conversation if you're gonna take her side.
Helen Fahey: Okay, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I... I... I'm always on your side. Even when I act like I'm not.

Helen Fahey: I'm sorry, Mare.
Detective Mare Sheehan: Well... I forgive you, Mom.
Helen Fahey: Good. Because I forgave myself a long time ago.

Richard Ryan: Did you have fun?
Detective Mare Sheehan: Yeah. Sure. As much fun as anyone can have at their ex-husband's wedding.

Mr. Carroll: You lost your son recently.... Does it get any easier?
Detective Mare Sheehan: No... But after a while, you learn to live with the unacceptable. And you realize that you still need to put food in the pantry, pay the electric bill, and wash the bedsheets. So... you sort of just find a way to live with it.

Sore Must Be the Storm

Mare of Easttown 1×6

Lori Ross: I still love him. You can't just turn the switch off, right? That's the shitty thing.

Detective Mare Sheehan: We have to give her a chance to be his mother, Frank.
Frank Sheehan: Since when did you get so philosophical about all this?
Detective Mare Sheehan: I don't know. Maybe I'm just getting old.

Richard Ryan: I'll tell you what. Uh, how about when you feel ready... if you feel ready... you give me a call and ask me out. Okay?
Detective Mare Sheehan: How do I know you won't be spoken for by then?
Richard Ryan: Well, you don't. But, you know, I'm 52 years old, and I'm living in Easttown, so... I'd say your odds are pretty good.

Illusions

Mare of Easttown 1×5

Detective Mare Sheehan: Do you think there's a part of Mr. Carroll that's relieved?-- I'm just saying!
Helen Fahey: Jesus, Mare.
Detective Mare Sheehan: She seemed to drive him nuts all the time. You said as much yourself.
Helen Fahey: You're allowed to say that when a person's alive. After they die, everyone's a saint.
Detective Mare Sheehan: My life's a shitshow, Zabel. I'm about to lose custody of my grandson. I'm still working through unresolved issues from my son who killed himself. And, uh, my ex-husband basically lives in my backyard, so you're right, I don't know what you want, but... I'm sure it's not that.

Detective Mare Sheehan: Doing something great is overrated. 'Cause then people expect that from you... all the time. What they don't realize is you're just as screwed up as they are.

Detective Mare Sheehan: What was that for?
Detective Colin Zabel: How do you know what I want?

Poor Sisyphus

Mare of Easttown 1×4

Helen Fahey: My God, Marianne. I... I... I don't know what the hell to say. Oh, wait. It just came to me. That was stupid! Goddamn idiotic! You're a complete smacked-ass for doing that.
Detective Mare Sheehan: Thanks, Mom.

Detective Mare Sheehan: Let the healing begin...

Richard Ryan: You ever give yourself a break? I mean, do you ever just get to take time for yourself?

Helen Fahey: Mare, will you...
Detective Mare Sheehan: Don't say it, Mom. Just don't.
Helen Fahey: Don't say what?
Detective Mare Sheehan: Don't try and stop me from going out and doing my job, okay?
Helen Fahey: Mare.
Detective Mare Sheehan: Before you tell me this is a bad idea, have I ever listened to a thing you told me?
Helen Fahey: I just wanted you to get the popcorn out of the microwave before you leave.
Detective Mare Sheehan: Oh.

Detective Mare Sheehan: Are you asking me on a date, Zabel?
Detective Colin Zabel: I'm only asking if the answer is yes.

Detective Mare Sheehan: You all right? I'm supposed to check on you. Doctor's orders. Make sure you're not getting any worse. Are you?
Helen Fahey: I don't feel any worse then I usually do.
Detective Mare Sheehan: Good enough for me.

Enter Number Two

Mare of Easttown 1×3

Detective Mare Sheehan: So what's the truth, huh?

Detective Colin Zabel: Is there anybody you're not related to?
Detective Mare Sheehan: No.

Detective Colin Zabel: Why confess to shooting Dylan but not Erin?
Detective Mare Sheehan: You'd be surprised at the things that people will and won't confess to.

Detective Colin Zabel: I'm, uh... I don't know. I'm getting to that age, right? Forgive me, but I'm... like, I'm getting to that age where I'm starting to look at my life and I'm going... "Well, here's what I thought it would be... and... here's what it actually is." Am I making any fucking sense?

Fathers

Mare of Easttown 1×2

Dylan Hinchey: You said that I could leave whenever I wanted to, right?
Detective Mare Sheehan: Yeah, but the second you walk out of here, I can't help you anymore, so if you've got something you want to tell me, you better do it now, 'cause as soon as you leave this station, I'm gonna start digging through your life and I'm gonna find out everything. Every thing. And if you're lying to me, it's gonna be very bad for you.

Detective Colin Zabel: Mare, can we, uh, hit the reset button here?
Detective Mare Sheehan: I don't even know what that means.

Detective Colin Zabel: Okay. I'm Detective Colin Zabel... Come on. Come on.
Detective Mare Sheehan: You fucking kidding me right now?
Detective Colin Zabel: Come on. Teamwork makes the dream work, right?
Detective Mare Sheehan: Oh, my God.
Detective Colin Zabel: You're the chef. I'm the sous-chef. What are we cooking?
Detective Mare Sheehan: Stop talking.

Siobhan Sheehan: How do you like working with my mom so far?
Detective Colin Zabel: It's good. Yeah. Uh, we're just getting started out. So, um... Any tips?
Siobhan Sheehan: Lower your expectations.

Detective Colin Zabel: Have a good night, Mare... Good night, Mare. Why don't you have a good "nightmare."

Miss Lady Hawk Herself

Mare of Easttown 1×1

Erin McMenamin: Hey, Dad. Dinner's ready. Did you have a good day at work?
Kenny McMenamin: I'd like you to come to work with me once to see if you can find anything good about it.

Judy Zabel: How's she holding up?
Detective Mare Sheehan: Well, her mom's got Parkinson's, and her brother's smashing her kids' piggy banks to buy Dilaudid. I think she's wondering where the hell God is in her life.
Father Dan Hastings: Depends on what her view of God is. Merton says that "our idea of God tells us more about ourselves than about... Him."
Detective Mare Sheehan: When you're up at the altar preaching to the congregation, you ever get the feeling no one's listening?
Father Dan Hastings: Every single day.
