Julia quotes from Nip/Tuck

Julia

Loss is a part of life. You can't really care for something or someone until you realize that one day, they may be gone. And when they do go, we feel as if everything goes with them and we feel like we'll never really care about anything again. But we do. And we discover that that loss was a gift, that helps us appreciate all of the things we still have.

Julia

[to Sean and Christian] So much water under the bridge. And here we are. Still standing. Still pretty fantastic. Let's toast us. To survival with grace.

Julia

[talking to the body identified as Erica] I forgive you for not loving me. It's Okay. I didn't love you either. I just craved your approval like it was somehow possible to get. I saved a life tonight, Mother. Well, two lives actually. A stranger's and my own.

Julia

Do you know the difference between God and a surgeon? God doesn't think he's a surgeon.

Julia

I should be back by 10. Dinner is in the fridge. Heat it up for five minutes at 350º. And, Matt, don't show Annie The Exorcist again.

Matt

She needs to know that evil exists.

Julia

Why haven't I had an orgasm in two years?!?

Sean

Because I didn't want to work that hard.

Julia

Can't a woman just do something nice for her husband?

Sean

A woman can definitely do something nice for her husband. You driving 20 minutes to bring me lunch sounds like a woman who wants her husband to do something nice for her.

Julia

Having three-way sex in my house is a very big deal, Matt.

Matt

You guys are lucky that that was all I was doing. I know kids hooked on crank, kids who are plotting to blow up the school.

Julia

Congratulations. You win the award for least screwed up teenager.

Christian

This is about you playing Demi Moore with some 25-year-old punk kid with an overactive libido.

Julia

The one with an overactive libido is a middle-aged surgeon. You fired him for revenge. [Edit] Someone else wants me and you can't stand it.

Christian

Please, I can have anyone anytime I want it.

Julia

You can't have me.

Christian

Julia, your boy toy is me.

Julia

15 years younger.

Julia

What did she give you that I couldn't?

Sean

She saw the good in me, Julia. She saw the potential, the hope. Every time you look at me I see it in your eyes. All I see staring back at me is regret.

Julia

We´re not fine, Sean. And we never will be. You know it. We both know it.

Sean

Don´t you give up on me.

Julia

There´s nothing wrong in knowing when to surrender. We tried our best. No one can fault us for finally admitting that we just can´t do it anymore.

Julia

You slept with my mother.

Christian

Once. At your wedding.

Julia

Also at my wedding?

Christian

So, I see she offered up full disclosure.

Matt

No, this whole family is bullshit. And you're the reason why.

Julia

Don't talk to me like that, I am still your mother.

Matt

You're not my mother, you're a whore.

Matt

Even if you did hit me, it would still be true.

Julia

He's not your son.

Sean

What are you talking about? I was there when he was conceived. I pulled him out of you when he was born. He's everything like me; too emotionally shut off, he's tuned in his head. This thing with Ava... is completely not McNamara like, I'll give you that. Is that what you're trying to say? Is that what you're saying?!

Julia

I didn't mean--

Sean

Just answer me! I am Matt's father!

Julia

Christian is!

Julia

With all due respect you know more about the different classes of tequila than you do parenting.

Christian

I know enough to know that the pound wouldn't give either of you a 10 year old mutt covered in shit right now.
