Quentin quotes from The White Lotus

Quentin

You're just here with your assistant, right?

Tanya McQuoid-Hunt

No, I actually came here with my husband, but he left.

Quentin

He left you alone in Sicily?

Quentin

Why would he leave you?

Tanya McQuoid-Hunt

It's a long story.

Quentin

No, we have all day. Tell me everything, from the beginning.

Tanya McQuoid-Hunt

Well, I was born in San Francisco...

Quentin

Oh, the very beginning, alright.

Tanya McQuoid-Hunt

So you see, it's just been a series of .. very bad decisions.

Quentin

No. you've had very bad luck.

Tanya McQuoid-Hunt

I know, I know.

Quentin

You're like the.. heroine of your own Italian opera.

Tanya McQuoid-Hunt

Does that mean I'm doomed?

Quentin

No. Of course it doesn't. You're too fabulous to be sad. Look where you are. Drink your rosé. Best thing about luck is it can always change.

Tanya McQuoid-Hunt

Do you really believe that?

Quentin

No.

Quentin

Other than the cowboy, love's never been my Achilles heel. It was always beauty.

Tanya McQuoid-Hunt

Hm. I live for beauty.

Quentin

I know you do.

Tanya McQuoid-Hunt

I do.

Quentin

I'd also die for beauty. Wouldn't you? A world without beauty... is not a world I want to live in.

Tanya McQuoid-Hunt

Well... you couldn't ask for a more beautiful world... than this.

Quentin

Here's to beauty.

Tanya McQuoid-Hunt

To beauty.

Tanya McQuoid-Hunt

Well, what does he do for a living?

Quentin

Oh, this and that. Niccolò may or may not have ties to a very influential local family.

Tanya McQuoid-Hunt

Oh, he joined the mafia?

Quentin

Did I say that? I didn't say that. We don't use that word in Palermo.
