Portia quotes from The White Lotus

Portia

Like, I just wanna... [chuckles] I don't know, feel, like, fulfilled and have an adventure, and, like, I'm sick of fucking TikTok and... and Bumble, and just... screens and apps and sitting there binging Netflix. And I just... I just wanna, like, live. I just wanna live my life, so badly. [chuckles] I just feel like I just wanna meet someone who's like, you know, totally ignorant of... the discourse. You know?

Albie Di Grasso

Right. Right. Like... Like someone who lives in a cave. Like a caveman.

Portia

Yeah, uh, yeah, I would date a caveman at this point. Yeah.

Albie Di Grasso

I mean... I think you could aim higher. Honestly, I think you can do better than a caveman.

Portia

I think I just need to... I don't know, like, up my meds or something.

Portia

I just feel like there must have been a time when the world had more. You know? Like... mystery or... or something, and now you come somewhere like this and it's beautiful and you take a picture, and then you realize that everybody's taken that exact same picture from that exact same spot. You just made some redundant content, for stupid Instagram.

Albie Di Grasso

Yeah.

Portia

And you can't even get lost anymore 'cause you can just find yourself on Google Maps.

I put on fresh underwear for ya.

Portia

Why? Did you shit your pants?

Tanya McQuoid-Hunt

If you're looking for a friend, gay guys are really the best. Because, let's face it, women are kinda... depressing.

Portia

Oh. You think?

Tanya McQuoid-Hunt

Yeah. I think most women are drips. But it's not their fault. Yeah. They have a lot to be depressed about. But you know, they are not fun. These gay guys are fun.

Tanya McQuoid-Hunt

Portia. When I see you, I... I see a younger version of me. You know, when I was a little girl, my mother used to dress me up like a little doll. And I was always a little doll, waiting for someone to play with me. You know, when you're empty inside and you have no direction, you'll end up in some crazy places, right? But you'll still be lost.

Portia

What are you trying to say? Like...

Tanya McQuoid-Hunt

Get your shit together, Portia.

What are some of your goals?

Portia

I don't know. Be satisfied? Yeah, that'd be nice.

I think you just gotta live every day as it comes, do you know what I mean? Like, that's what I'd do anyway. Who knows if we're even gonna be here tomorrow?

Portia

Yeah. That's very true. The world's a fucked-up place. So...

What's wrong with it?

Portia

Are you joking?

Pretty fucking good world, I'd say.

Portia

Literally everything's falling apart.

You'd rather live in the Middle Ages then, would ya? When they were ripping each other to shreds, yeah? They were way worse than ISIS or any of them lot. Like, it's a fucking miracle anyone's even left in Europe. All we've been doing is just fuckin' hacking each other to bits and burning each other at the stake. I'm ready for another beer. All I'm saying is, right, we're fucking lucky, do you know what I mean? Like, we're living in the... best time in the history of the world, on the best fucking planet. If you can't be satisfied living now, here... you're never gonna be satisfied. So, let's get pissed, eh?

Tanya McQuoid-Hunt

Listen, Portia, I know you really like him, but... the other night I was walking around the villa and... well, I saw Jack and his uncle and, you know, they were like -- they were, like, naked and stuff like that.

Portia

They were naked? Doing what?

Tanya McQuoid-Hunt

Well... he was kinda fucking his uncle.
