Regina quotes from Switched at Birth

Regina

Do you know insulting that is? Do you even hear yourself? You're just jealous because he can give me what you can't: the money to fix your mistakes.

Regina

I don't know who started it, but as the single person in the equation, you need to be the one to back off.

Regina

So you're not Latina because you don't feel burdened enough? Me and your grandmother and generations before us faced discrimination because our name is Vasquez. You don't think that affects you?

Regina

You deserve to get arrested.

Daphne

You got arrested?!

Bay

Eh, what can I say?

Daphne

No one tells me anything.

Bay

Between the Spanish and the signing, I'm lost.

Regina

She said, you are just like I was at your age.

Bay

So... you were an alcoholic?

Regina

No. I am an alcoholic. Always will be. That's why I put them there. So I can see them and remember how frickin' hard they were to earn. (Sighs.) Because I'm not going back. And that's why I would have been harder on you for that fake ID than your parents were.

Bay

I don't get it.

Regina

You don't have the luxury of a couple of beers every now and then... because if you're anything like me, pretty quickly that couple of beers can become a six-pack, and then that six-pack is all you think about. It happened to my dad, it happened to me, and I'm going to do everything in my power to make damn sure it doesn't happen to you.

Daphne

Is it safe?

Regina

No one's killed each other yet.

Daphne

(to Regina, who begins packing their stuff after having an argument with the Kennishes) You're ruining everything!

Regina

Me?

Daphne

This is hard for everyone. Why can't you just make the best of it?

Regina

Those people are not who you think they are.

Daphne

What does that mean?

Regina

You want to know what they said to me? They don't think deaf people should be able to drive.

Daphne

I don't believe you.

Regina

Go ask them. Go!

Daphne

Why do you hate them so much?! Is it because they have more money?! Is it because she's (Kathyrn) always so chipper?! What's so terrible about them?!

Regina

They're arrogant and entitled! (continues to pack)

Daphne

We're leaving? That's it? I have no say in this?

Regina

Are you gonna stand there and tell me that you think that this is working?

Daphne

(pauses) I'm going out. Don't wait up.

Regina

Who is Liam?

Kathryn

Bay's boyfriend.

Regina

Bay's boyfriend.

Daphne

(Eyes Widen)

Regina

Bay's boyfriend.

Bay

No, Mom. It's cool, it's fine. It doesn't matter. Liam and I have broken up and besides, I'm dating someone new now.

Kathryn

Who?

Bay

(Looks at Daphne): His name's Ty.

Daphne

(Eyes Widen): My Ty?

Bay

No. My Ty.

Regina

Oh, god.

Kathryn

Do you think they(Bay & Ty) might be having sex?

Regina

Have you seen Ty without a shirt?

Kathryn

No. Have you?

Regina

Now that's a washing machine.

John

You kept my daughter away from me FOR THIRTEEN YEARS! I will never forgive you for that.

Regina

And the more I know you, the more I realize that I was right to keep it a secret. You would've taken both girls away from me.

John

You are damn right I would've.

Regina

I can't promise I'm not gonna yell back.

Works or me.

Angelo

(to Regina) You're completely blind, you know that? All of this "We wanna save East Riverside." Just admit it! It's for him (Wes)!

Regina

What are you saying? That I'm cheating?

Angelo

Are you?

Regina

Are you kidding me?! Can I remind you that you are the one that left us and then had a baby with another woman?! You couldn't raise that one either, could you?

Daphne

Mom!

Angelo

(to Regina) I've given you everything I've got!

Regina

He never told me he had a will.

Bay

He already made the hard decision for us.
