Claire Meade quotes from Ugly Betty

Claire

So give me back the glass and set fire to me when I'm done.

Claire

This is the first time I've been to one of these parties sober. I used to always think there were twice as many people.

Claire

Oh, my. What a cute little house. I can put it right in my pocket.

Claire

Please, this is cake. How many rehabs have I been through? At least here you can score a decent glass of toilet wine.

Claire

It's ridiculous. One DUI, you OD a couple of times, show up naked at a garden party, and suddenly everyone treats you like a child.

Betty

Daniel just wanted to make sure you wouldn't hurt yourself.

Claire

[takes a perfume bottle from Betty] If I wanted to drink this, what could you do to stop me? [Betty knocks the bottle from Claire's hand] Not bad.

Constance

So you're the one.

Claire

I beg your pardon?

Constance

You're the ho that's been stealing my man.

Claire

It's unlikely that we will have the same man in common. We certainly don't have the same hairdresser.

Claire

All those in favour of removing Wilhelmina Slater as Creative Director at Mode, say "aye."

"Aye."

Claire

Motion passed. Rest in peace, bitch.

Wilhelmina

[reading from a website announcing an upcoming drag show] "Mean queens of fashion in New York City's finest drag bar. Double bill featuring Manna Wintour and Wilheldiva Hater"?!

Marc

That is so fun— offensive!

Wilhelmina

I will not be mocked by some low-rent drag queen! It's insulting.

Marc

It's inexcusable!

Claire

It's delicious. What's that web address?

Marc

Uh, yeah, I'll write it down—

Wilhelmina

Don't even bother. I'll have my lawyers draw up a cease and desist order immediately. As if I didn't have enough queens to shut down right here at Mode. [glances at Marc]

I was conceived at a rehab facility. I, uh, guess I was destined to be an alcoholic. [chuckles]

Claire

I don't think we should joke about that.

Claire

I don't know how, and I don't know why, but I know you got to Tyler. This has your stink all over it.

Wilhelmina

Oh, Claire, have you escaped from your handlers again? Or have they allowed you a senior outing?

Claire

This boy is an alcoholic. He is troubled.

Wilhelmina

Isn't that the pickled lush calling the kettle black?
