Dorothy quotes from Jessica Jones

Dorothy

My problem with Jessica isn't her powers, it's that she's rude, violent and ungrateful.

Pats, are you here? I just spoke with Griffin. Should've known you'd find some way to mess this up.

Trish

I didn't mess anything up, Mother. This is what I want.

Dorothy

You don't know what you want. You're a different person on drugs.

Trish

I'm stone cold sober.

Dorothy

Call him. Maybe he'll take you back if you plead insanity.

Trish

[sighs] I don't want him back. I knew it as soon as I got to the roof.

Dorothy

That proposal was breathtaking.

Trish

It was heartbreaking. Because the moment I figured out what it was, that it wasn't a meeting with ZCN, all I could feel was disappointment.

Dorothy

Oh, Jesus.

Trish

That's why I said no.

Dorothy

Listen, baby, you gotta listen to me. You are making a huge mistake.

Trish

I don't want to be with Griffin. I want to be him. I want to do what he does. And that's not love, and it's not fair to either one of us.

Dorothy

You know what I see? I see a spoiled, arrogant little girl.

Trish

I'm arrogant?

Dorothy

After everything I went through with your father

Trish

Oh, God.

Dorothy

And you finally find a good man, a goddamn hero...

Trish

Don't you dare bring Dad into this!

Dorothy

Why not? He's the reason you always dated losers.

Trish

That is bullshit.

Dorothy

And when you finally find a winner, you crawl back to Max and blow him for some story. [Trish slaps her]

Alisa Jones

Where is she now?

Dorothy

I don't know specifically.

Alisa

You're not in contact with her?

Dorothy

Contact would require communication skills on her part.

Alisa

Um... well, she always was a moody little shit. [chuckles] So you have no idea where I could find her?

Dorothy

Well, I hear she's shacking up with some bartender, and apparently, he's bad news.

Alisa

Meaning what? Is he hurting her?

Dorothy

Honey, I'd be more worried about him.

Alisa

I'm glad she can take care of herself.

Dorothy

That's putting it mildly. You know, I gave her everything she could want, and she gave me nothing but disrespect and ingratitude.

Jessica

Don't talk about my mother. Ever.

Dorothy

I understand, family is family. But Trish is your family too. Nothing can undo that. You have a chance to save her life.

Jessica

Been there, done that. Get out.

Dorothy

Trish was the only good thing about you!

Trish

Mom, it's complicated, and actually kinda private.

Jessica

I think you should tell her.

Dorothy

Please don't tell me you're a couple.

Trish

What?

Dorothy

There are much better lesbians out there.

Jessica

[shows Dorothy a picture from the news of Trish] You recognize this pose?

Dorothy

Oh no!

Jessica

I know.

Dorothy

Her costume is a disaster.

Jessica

[sarcastically] Once again you've hit the nail on the head.

Dorothy

It should have a theme, something relatable. Like cats. The Internet is gaga over cats.

Young Trish

But... the parenthetical says "dramatic."

Dorothy

What did I tell you about parentheticals?

Young Trish

Cross 'em out.

Dorothy

Every girl is gonna be doing a goddamn fake swoon. Find something else.
