Elisabeth Moss Quotes

Cecilia Kass Emily, I need to talk to you.

Emily Kass Well, at least now we have clarity. Now I know what you really think of me.

Cecilia Kass What?

Emily Kass Thanks so much for carving out the time to let me know how - quote, unquote - "suffocating" I am to you.

Cecilia Kass What? What are you...

Emily Kass Not that I should have to say this, but I never expected any of that money.

Cecilia Kass Emily, I-I don't... I don't know what you're talking about.

Emily Kass The e-mail - the e-mail you sent me this morning.

Cecilia Kass What e-mail?

Emily Kass If that's how you feel about me, don't ask me to bail you out of your personal life anymore. If you're too stupid to know who the good guys are and too weak to get away from the bad ones, don't sob to me for charity. I'm out.

Cecilia Kass I didn't send you the fucking e-mail. I didn't. Someone is-is-is doing this to me. He's-he's doing this to me.

Emily Kass Who's... Adrian? Adrian sent me the e-mail. Okay. You need some medication. Adrian is dead.

Cecilia Kass Em, please, no.

Tom Griffin It's upsetting to see you in this condition. Even though things ended badly for you and Adrian, I still look at you as family.

Cecilia Kass Are you my lawyer now?

Tom Griffin I'm your lawyer for your source of income. I represent my brother's trust. The money from his trust was payable to you, conditional upon you not being subject to criminal charges of any kind, or being ruled to be mentally incompetent. Now in light of your current situation, it's my duty to inform you that any further payments are to be halted. I know that you set up a bank account for a friend of yours to go to college, so I take no pleasure in relaying that.

Cecilia Kass I used to feel sorry for you. The blood relative of a narcissist sociopath. Permanent punching bag. Handcuffed to his wallet. But now I can see you for what you really are. You're just the jellyfish version of him. Everything but the spine.

Tom Griffin I mean you can try to litigate it. But that's going to be an expensive option, I can't see it working. However if you sign this document, and forfeit your share of the trust, it'll be a lot cleaner. Or there's one option where this all goes away. Agree to have the baby, and you go back to him. You really think he didn't know you were really using birth control? Of course he did. You should have known he'd find out. You knew him as well as I did. He replaced them with something else. You only thought you were taking birth control pills. He was always going to find you, no matter what he had to do. He needs you because you don't need him. No one's ever left him before. But he's punished you enough now. Now that he knows you're the mother of his child. It's time to stop playing games. A new life with him can be given to you with one phone call. A life just like your old one with Adrian. Cecilia, you don't really have a choice right now. Right now you're a murderer. But I can change that.

Cecilia Kass Adrian killed my sister, and you helped him!

Tom Griffin I don't expect you to make a decision right now. I can come back in three days. Be good to yourself until then. We'll be watching.

James Lanier Hey, hey. You okay?

Cecilia Kass It's okay...

James Lanier You okay? What...

Cecilia Kass I'm okay. I'm okay. James, look at me. I'm okay. He killed himself. He cut his own throat. There's security camera video of it.

James Lanier You never did want to get him to admit anything on tape, did you?

Cecilia Kass Of course I did. I just didn't know he was that unstable.

Cecilia Kass You heard it, right? James? What'd it sound like to you?

James Lanier It sounded a lot like he killed himself.

Emily Kass Cecilia, what is going on? Are you okay?

Cecilia Kass I'll explain later. Just go, Emily. Go.

Adrian Griffin Open the fucking door, Cecilia!

Emily Kass What is happening?

Adrian Griffin Open the door!

Cecilia Kass James. Tell me you don't think I did this. Tell me you know that. I may as well have done it, though.

Cecilia Kass I brought Adrian into her life. I did that.

James Lanier I shouldn't have walked out on you and left you alone. I failed you.

Adrian Griffin Wow, you look amazing. I mean, you've always, you always look amazing.

Cecilia Kass I don't feel amazing. It's all a lie.

Adrian Griffin So I wanted to get us some simple takeout but of course, I started obsessing over what you'd be in the mood for. Hence, we have the OCD buffet of sushi, steak, and pasta. Or you might not be hungry at all. Uh, which is so logical that it suddenly makes this feast look moronic.

Cecilia Kass I'll have steak.

Adrian Griffin That's a good choice.

Adrian Griffin My hands are shaking. You know you're the only person in the world who gets to see my hand shake. It's because I need you, Cecilia. I know I didn't treat you the way you should have been treated when we were together. But I've learned my lesson. I would burn everything I own just to prove that to you.

Cecilia Kass If you want to be a part of this child's life, it has to start with honesty.

Adrian Griffin Of course.

Cecilia Kass Which means I need you to admit everything that you did. That it was you. Not your brother. You.

Adrian Griffin Cecilia, I loved my brother. And I thought he loved me too. I know it didn't seem like it to the outside world, but Tom controlled me.

Cecilia Kass Just tell me the truth. I need to know that I'm not crazy, okay? And we can't start this with a lie.

Adrian Griffin But I'm not starting with a lie. It wasn't me. I swear it.

Cecilia Kass Why can't you just tell me the truth?

Adrian Griffin I am.

Cecilia Kass Adrian, stop! I need you to do this for me.

Cecilia Kass But more than that, do it for you, Adrian.

Adrian Griffin I'm giving you exactly what you're asking for, Cecilia. I am telling you the truth.

Adrian Griffin Oh, no, no, no. I know that you feel like you're going insane sometimes but I'm the only one who can help you. Remember? Because I know you better than anyone else in the world. I mean, that shouldn't come as a surprise.

Cecilia Kass I should go clean myself up.

Adrian Griffin Of course.

Adrian Griffin You think you're learning how to beat me, so I'm going to truly teach you something. If you fight me, I won't ever hurt you. I'll find someone you love and hurt them instead. Now you've only got yourself to blame for that innocent young girl's death.

Cecilia Kass No, please! Not Sydney. Adrian, no.

Cecilia Kass You won't get the baby. And you won't get me. There you are. Fuck you!

Cecilia Kass He said that wherever I went, he would find me, walk right up to me, and I wouldn't be able to see him.

Cecilia Kass This is not fair. I asked you not to come over. He knows where you live. He will follow you.

Emily Kass Yes, well, I have some news.

Cecilia Kass There is no news that justifies this. Okay I have a plan. And I just, I need you to go along with it, and just not being in control for one second.

Emily Kass I'm not trying to control you, boo. I'm desperately trying to tell you that you don't need to cut me off anymore. Because he's dead.

Cecilia Kass What? It just doesn't make any sense. He was in complete control of everything, you know? Including me. He controlled how I looked, and what I wore, and what I ate. And then it was controlling when I left the house, and what I said. And eventually, what I thought. And if he didn't like what he assumed I was thinking, he would...

James Lanier He'd what? He would hit you?

Cecilia Kass Amongst other things. He wanted to have a baby. And I knew that if we did that, that I would never be able to get away from him. So I took birth control without him knowing it. But, um, that can only go on for so long, so I called you.

Emily Kass Hey. You are here with us now. And you're safe. He's gone.
