Marina Ferrer quotes from The L Word

Marina

[to Jenny] Your strength is you write from here [puts her hand on Jenny's breast]. The demons that tempt you, that you struggle with... Am I that demon?

Marina

[to Robin] The Greek word eros denotes want, like, the desire for that which is missing. The lover wants what he doesn't have. It is by definition impossible for him to have what he wants if as soon as it is had it is no longer wanted.

Dana

I don't get it. I mean, what does Shane have that I don't have?

Tina

It has to do with her attitude.

Dana

I've got attitude!

Marina

It's because she's so withholding.

Tina

No, it's because she's so confident.

Dana

No, it's because she's so STUPID and stupid people are too dumb to be insecure.

Alice

[firmly] Dana, she's your friend.

Tina

It's confidence okay? I'm telling you... it's because of her nipples.

Dana

What do you mean it's because of her nipples?

Tina

She has the best nipples in town and she knows it.

Alice

Oh my God. You're so right. She has nipple confidence!

Tina

Yeah, they're small and they're perfectly formed.

Alice

I wonder if I could sell a story on L.A's best nipples.

Jenny

[to Marina] What happened between us was a terrible mistake. It is never gonna happen again. I will never see you again. Do you understand that?

Tim

Did you hear what she said?

Marina

Of course I did.

Tim

Tell me when it started.

Marina

It didn't. You saw all there was to see, the beginning and the end.

Marina

Jenny's responsible for her own actions. As we all are. I don't think it's me you're angry with.

Tim

Don't tell me how I feel. [angrily] Do not! You preyed on her. Pretended to be her friend! Playing your phony intellectual games just to get into her pants! You know what? You are fucking pathetic, Marina.

Jenny

Who are you?

Marina

Someone who cares about you. You'll find that your life is richer, more full of possibilities and choices. I've opened up your world.

Jenny

Fuck you.

Alice

[Dana is signing her magazine ad for Marina] Yeah, sign it. "Dana Fairbanks. Professional lesbian". [Dana rolls her eyes] Oh, c'mon. It's going wide next week. It's gonna be in every magazine you read.

Marina

That's amazing. You won't be able to keep the girls away. Your parents must be so proud.

Alice

Dana... did you not do it?

Marina

You didn't come out to your parents yet?

Shane

Well, I think Subaru's gonna do it for you.
