"My pain was selfish, because it was never only mine. For everybody in this place, there was someone who mourned their loss. Even if they didn't know why." - Akecheta
Oh, you have to fuck somebody, you don't want to? Poor thing. - June
"I was determined to leave this world but I wouldn't leave it without her." - Akecheta
"Someone once said, "Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them." We should've known better. I thought there were still secret places. Hidden in the cracks and crevices of this world. Places we could make beautiful, peaceful, quiet, safe. Or at least bearable." - Offred
Rita : Soup, as ordered.
Nick: Smells good, where's mine?
Rita: Ask your wife.
This episode is wrong on so many levels but hilarious as fuck.
"To grow, we all need to suffer." - Dolores
What about Mrs. Blaine? What is her bedtime, anyway? - June
"I wanted to help you too. I wanted to warn you, but in this world it's easy to misunderstand intentions. I wanted to give you the truth. I watched over you, day after day trying to keep you safe, but it was a promise you couldn't keep. Someone else was watching you too." - Akecheta
When the wall opened and the crowd started to applaud...WHAT. IN. THE. ACTUAL. FUCK.
Look at the creatures you have to share this world with. These men of stone. All this ugliness, all this pain, so they can patch a hole in their own broken code. - Ford
June: Under his eye.
Driver: After a while, crocodile.
"A perfect gift, a girl trapped in a box..she only dances when someone else opens the lid, when someone else wakes her up. I WILL NOT BE THAT GIRL IN THE BOX." - Offred
Finally we found out the damn secret after so many seasons. The entire show was giving us clues and leading us to the reveal and I wasn't expecting it at all! Tom's appearance was a nice touch, I thought he was alive and it was a plot that Liz and him made together and there would be a good reason for his return but sadly he's not alive. I believe the theory that the real Red was killed by Liz the night of the fire and the one we see now is Katarina's brother, Dom's other child.
Praise be, bitch. Here’s your package. XOXO MIRA
There was an Offred before me. She helped me find my way out. She is dead. She is alive. She is me, we are handmaids. “Nolite te bastardes carborundrum, bitches!”
They didn’t get everything. There was something inside her they couldn’t take away. She looked invincible. “My name is Emily.”
Aunt Lydia: Remember your scripture, blessed the meek.
Offred: And blessed are those who suffer for the cause of righteousness for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. I remember.
"Now you listen to me, ‘kay? I will not let you grow up in this place. I won’t do it. Do you hear me? They.. They do not own you. And they do not own what you will become. Do you hear me? I’m gonna get you out of here. I’m gonna get us out of here. I promise you. I promise." - June
Offred: What are you going to trade us for? Hmm? What? Fucking chocolate? We’re human beings. How can you do that? How? How can you do that?
Mrs. Castillo : I am from Xipica, Ms. Offred. It is a nice city, maybe the size of Boston. There hasn't been a child born alive in Xipica in six years. My country is dying.
Offred: My country’s already dead.
"I told you I've found a new voice. Now we use it." - Maeve
"No mother is ever completely a child’s idea of what a mother should be and I suppose it works the other way around as well, but, despite everything, we didn’t do badly by one another, we did as well as most. I wish my mother were here so I could finally tell her I know this, so I could tell her I forgive her....and then ask Hannah to forgive me." - June
"Our Father, who art in Heaven...Seriously? What the actual fuck?" - June
Now, there has to be “us.” Because, now, there is a “them.”
Humans will always choose what they understand over what they do not. But the only animals left in this world are the ones who they subjugated, who curl at their feet, or those who learn to flee at the very sound of their approach. There's nothing in between. - Ford
"We each deserve to choose our fate. Even if that fate is death." - Maeve
Dolores - “Someday” sounds a lot like the thing people say when they actually mean “never.”
You know when you suspect something, it’s always better when it turns out to be true.
I built a wall, and I tried to protect you and Emily. But you saw right through it, didn't you? You're the only one. And for that, I am truly sorry. Because everything you feel is true. I don't belong to you. Or this world. I belong to another world. I always have. - William
Nick : You know, I think about us. The three of us, what we could be. I think about it all the time.
June: Well, dont.
Nick: Okay, I'll stop.
June: [grins and rolls eyes] I think about it too.
