Milk

Sharp Objects 1×8

Amma: Kinda funny, huh? How many stories they have where princesses need to get rescued from witches.

Adora: Do you see how nice it is not to have to worry or fight? Just to let yourself be looked after?...

John: Sometimes you stay with somebody, and the only reason is because you don't have the energy to go through ending it...

Vickery: What do you think? He gonna crack?
Willis: Almost everyone does if you push 'em hard enough. Even if they're innocent.

Camille: Mama... what's in the blue bottle?

Adora: I believe if you had asked her she would have said what she was doing was right... We all have bad childhoods. At some point, you have to forget it, move on. Anything else is just selfish.

Falling

Sharp Objects 1×4

Adora: A little bit of sweet... before the bitter. It helps. Open... Then a bit more sweet and a day in bed... That's my prescription.

Beverly Van Lumm: Munchausen's By Proxy Syndrome, MBP. ... It's a mental illness... in adults. Munchausen's is when you hurt yourself to get attention. You make yourself sick, everyone's at your beck and call. Munchausen's By Proxy, on the other hand, is when you make someone else sick so you can care for them, so you can save them... or try... be seen trying.

Beverly Van Lumm: ...people have this. Mostly mothers. Mothers who need to be worshipped, to be heroes. Nothing more laudable than a woman who puts all her energy into her sick child.

Vickery: Something about the women around here. Yeah. They'll climb over anybody to get their name in print.

Camille: Did you kill 'em? 'Cause you... you never said you didn't.

Amma: You can never be as good as someone dead.

John: Laid... Drained... Cherry... Sick... Gone...
Camille: You're reading me.
John: Wrong... Falling... Wicked...

Cherry

Sharp Objects 1×6

Jackie: You're gettin' warmer, Detective. And not just 'cause it's hotter than a whore in church today.

Willis: I need to run a 522. Admittance records, area hospitals.
K.C.P.D.: OK, what's the name?
Willis: Camille Preaker.

Adora: You're welcome... I believe she's outstayed her welcome.

Curry: ...it doesn't fit the profile. Women don't kill like that, that violent.
Camille: Until they do.

Jackie: Dead girls everywhere.

Becca: Everyone thought you had your period, but I saw. On your thigh. The cuts. It said "cherry." That made sense.

Becca: We were so shiny. Luscious on the outside. But on the inside there's that dark, hard pit.

Amma: Boys are easy. You just let 'em do stuff to you.
Camille: Mm, you shouldn't let them do that.
Amma: When you let them do it to you... you're really doin' it to them. and... they like you. It's not the same with girls. I mean, I can get them to do what I want, but... they don't like me.

Camille: It's safer to be feared than loved.
Amma: Machiavelli.
Camille: How do you know that?
Amma: You know how. Sometimes you need to be mean... or hurt.

Amma: Do you ever feel like... bad things are gonna happen to you and you can't stop 'em? You can't do anything? You just have to wait?

Closer

Sharp Objects 1×5

Camille: Do not say "blowing up." We are both too old for "blowing up."

Curry: Big picture. Rotting America. Fall of Rome stuff.

Camille: It's more like the fall of the South. My backyard's about to be littered with Confederate flags.
Curry: Now, that's good. You gotta milk the shit out of that cow.
Camille: Yeah, I'm not sure those two metaphors go together.

Vickery: Your Preaker girl? Good tree, bad apple.

Vickery: And Kansas City... if you're comin', don't dress like a Union soldier.

Amma: Did it... hurt? 'Cause... I know a girl like you. Not like you, but... She says it doesn't hurt because the cut's already there under the skin. The knife just lets it out.

Richard: So, what is this thing, anyway? Calhoun Day. So what, it's Confederate pride?
Camille: Mmm. We don't use the "C-word" here in Missouri.
Richard: Right. Bite my tongue. Silent racism is best.

Adora: She's delicate... a rare rose. But not without thorns.

Camille: The only Calhoun Day tradition you really need to respect is drinking enough to get through Calhoun Day.

Camille: My way. We do it my way. My way.

Ripe

Sharp Objects 1×4

Willis: Shit. I'm still in Wind Gap.

Curry: Hey, uh, how is it being back home?
Camille: What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
Curry: Unless it kills you.

Camille: That is so Wind Gap of you. You know? You figure out someone's secrets to use it against 'em later.

Adora: Well, you do have the power as chief, to do whatever's in the interest of public safety.
Vickery: I do.
Adora: And some have the power in this town... to remove you as chief.

Camille: What was that all about?
Willis: Small town cop, big time problems.

Adora: Why are you trying to hurt me?
Alan: Hurt? You have a very peculiar idea of the word, "hurt," dear.

Fix

Sharp Objects 1×3

Chief Vickery: Well, isn't this a shit-ton of stupid.

Curry: How does it feel to be home?
Camille: Easy. Every day is a gift.

Detective Willis: The best thing for both of us... stay out of my way.

Bob Nash: No. It was a man. I'd put money on it. The women around here, they don't kill with their hands. They talk, and you're dead.

Alice: Does it get better with your family? Maybe when I'm older, like you?
Camille: No. Not really.
Alice: So what do you do?
Camille: You survive.

Amma: Is that true? Are you dangerous? Thought you were the wild one.
Camille: I hung out in parking lots and I talked to boys. Wild was different back then.

Willis: So let me guess. You were like a preacher's daughter? Looks, money, and brains?
Camille: Well, looks and money will get you pretty far in this town.
Willis: And brains?
Camille: That'll get you out of this town.

Willis: Favorite color? Favorite ice cream? Favorite season? ...
Camille: Um, uh... black. Coffee. And winter.

Dirt

Sharp Objects 1×2

Chief Vickery: Can we just save the Silence of the Lambs routine for another time?

Curry: If you're about to say...
Eileen: You can't solve all the problems of the entire world?
Curry: The other one.
Eileen: Hope you know what you're doing?
Curry: Bingo.

Curry: ...she needs to deal with her issues and stop thinking that vodka doesn't stay on her breath.

Camille: My demons are not remotely tackled. They're just mildly concussed.

Willis: How hard is it to pull a tooth?

Willis: Educate me about Wind Gap because I'll be honest with you, I can't quite get a handle on it.
Camille: If somebody says "bless your heart," what they really mean is "fuck you."

Camille: You're a sick fuck.
Willis: Bless your heart.

Vanish

Sharp Objects 1×1

Camille: No pressure, right?
Curry: Life is pressure. Grow up.

Camille: This isn't going to be a... exploitative piece, more like a think piece on how something like this can affect a town.

Chief Vickery: This story gets out in St. Louis, suddenly that's all Wind Gap's known for. We're already "the hog killers."

Adora: I just can't have that kind of talk around me. Hurt children. Just... don't tell me what you're doing, what you know. While you're here I'll just pretend you're... on summer break.

Detective Willis: Sarcasm. Thank you. Most I get from your hometown pals is a sugary passive-aggression.
Camille: Well, that is our specialty. We just nod and smile until the out-of-town asshole leaves us alone.

Marian: What if after you die, part of you goes to heaven, but part of you stays here? Just to look after stuff, you know? See how things turn out. For you, for Mom...

Adora: I'm happy you're here... but, please, don't embarrass me. Not again.... When you're here, everything you do comes back on me. Understand?
Camille: Uh, honestly, no. 'Cause that might have been true when I was a kid, but I'm an adult now.
Adora: Not in Wind Gap. When you're here, you're my daughter.

Bob Nash: A faggot did it. 'Cause he didn't rape her. And the cops say that's unusual. I'd say it's the only blessin' we got. I'd rather him... kill her than rape her.
