Virginia MadsenQuotes

Vel: So, you're an architect?

Beth Stanfield: Yes.

Vel: And you designed this house?

Beth Stanfield: I did.

Vel: It's nice.

Beth Stanfield: Thanks.

Vel: How old is it?

Beth Stanfield: Seven years.

Vel: How much does a house like this go for?

Beth Stanfield: This is about robbing the bank, isn't it? You're using Jack to help you rob the bank.

Vel: Open a few doors and press a few buttons.

Liam: Just look after the kids, Beth. And Vel, stick to your work.

Jack Stanfield: [Jack arrives home] Where are they?

Bill Cox: Through here.

Jack Stanfield: [Jack sees family tied up] Jesus. What is this?

Andy Stanfield: Daddy!

Jack Stanfield: [removes tape from their mouths] Why have you done this for god's sake? They're children.

Bill Cox: [Referring to why the family has tape over their mouths] I said if they were trouble. Were they trouble?

Vel: They were noisy.

Willy: Yes. We made an executive decision.

Bill Cox: You are a criminal, Willy, not an executive.

Willy: Yeah, but I thought you said if...

Bill Cox: Shut up, Willy.

Andy Stanfield: Daddy.

Jack Stanfield: I wanna know what you want. And I wanna know now.

Bill Cox: Beth, I am sorry about all of this. I... I am, but well, there we are. Uh. I need you to talk to your husband. He listens to you. I need you to make him understand that if he doesn't do exactly as I ask, I will kill you and your two children. But if you can make him listen Beth, if you can make him do what I want, you'll all walk away from this unpleasantness, unscathed. Not because I'm a nice man, simply because there'll be no reason for me to hurt you. Make sense? Can I rely on your cooperation?

Jack Stanfield: Just tell him yes.

Beth Stanfield: Yes.

Bill Cox: Sarah?

Sarah Stanfield: Fine.

Bill Cox: And you big fella?

Andy Stanfield: Maybe.

Beth Stanfield: [warningly] Andy.

Bill Cox: No, it's all right. It's honest.

Maya: [Describing her passion for wine] I like to think about what was going on the year the grapes were growing; how the sun was shining; if it rained. I like to think about all the people who tended and picked the grapes. And if it's an old wine, how many of them must be dead by now. I like how wine continues to evolve, like if I opened a bottle of wine today it would taste different than if I'd opened it on any other day, because a bottle of wine is actually alive. And it's constantly evolving and gaining complexity. That is, until it peaks, like your 61. And then it begins its steady, inevitable decline.

Maya: To open a bottle of 61 cheval blanc is enough reason to open a bottle of 61 cheval blanc.

Dolly Harshaw: There's only two things to do in this town. You got a TV?

Harry Madox: Nope.

Dolly Harshaw: Well then, you're down to one. Lotsa luck!

Dolly Harshaw: [after having sex in a car lot] That was more fun than eating cotton-candy barefoot.

Jane: Come live with us, Nell; you have no idea how hard it is out there.

Eleanor: No, Jane. You have no idea how hard it was in here.

Paul and Chani's love grew.

Princess Irulan: Following the Bene Gesserit tradition, the old Reverend Mother surrendered her life as she surrendered her knowledge. Jessica has successfully transmuted the poisonous Water of Life.
