I was thinking of going bigger.

Nancy

Bigger?

Really big. Like freak show big. 47 triple Fs. So large that other smaller breasts will want to orbit them.

[Silas goes for his community service but not before telling his mother he plans to sell her drugs to his fellow workers who are both unsupervised and "like to have fun"]

This is a non starter.

Nancy Botwin

I will never let you deal.

You don't have the choice. I know you don't.

Nancy Botwin

It's too dangerous. I don't want this for you. Come back here.

[Silas simply ignores her and walks out with the drugs]

Nancy Botwin

We'll discuss this later.

Nancy

[scrubbing blood out of her car] I'm pretty sure something even more heinous is gonna happen to me, because that just seems to be the way it rolls! I really think I'm finding myself. [pulls off a rubber glove] Look at my hand. Nerves of steel!

Pretty steady.

Nancy

That's what I'm talking about.

Well, this is all good. Meanwhile, a reconnaissance drone killed my battle buddy, and I'm going to die. I know too much. I was hoping for a shower, maybe a little nap. Um... [watches Nancy viciously wash the car] But you obviously are having a slow psychotic breakdown, so I'll just ask, do you have any money?

Nancy

No, I don't. [laughs] I have a backseat full of blood. I have two license plates I may have to remove. I have an assistant's job that a monkey could do. I have a death wish. You're welcome to any of those sparkly gems.

[after Nancy tells him to cater a party] I don't remember volunteering my services. Maybe I have plans tomorrow. Maybe I have a play date. [Nancy grabs him]

Nancy

You live here for free.

Yes.

Nancy

You eat my food. You wipe your ass with my toilet paper. I don't have to ask you shit.

S3 E6 Grasshopper

Do you really think evolution is a lie?

TTara

Well, I believe that I'm descended from Adam and Eve, and not a monkey.

So, natural selection, Darwinism, empirical data, none of that factors in for you?

TTara

Evolution is just a theory. I mean that's why they call it the Theory of Evolution and not the Fact of Evolution.

Oh, what about-

Hey, you asked your question. Now, shut the fuck up.

Nancy

Silas, don't swear at your brother. Shane, don't antagonize Tara. Tara, keep saving it for the Lord! Where the fuck's Andy?

Nancy

Doug, you're cooking in my kitchen. There's a reason for that?

Andy's on set. I'm helping him out.

Nancy

Oh, that's nice. [picks up an envelope on the counter]

Oh, that's from the tall one. Leif Garretty, "Blue Lagoon"-ish?

Nancy

Silas?

Yeah. Said you were out of weed, then he took off with a blonde. Tiny tits, big cross?

Nancy

Tara.

And your other one. Big vocab, creepy eyes?

Nancy

Shane.

He's outside with what's-her-name. Celia's dyke.

Nancy

Isabelle.

GGuillermo

[talking about the fire he stared] And it goes like that, just over and over, all the way south to Mexico. [nods his head forward]

Nancy Botwin

[whispering to his ear] You're facing west.

GGuillermo

See, I could use you. You tell me which way is south. [rubbing against her] You be my navigator.

Nancy Botwin

Hand off the ass.

Nancy

[looking at Bubbie sleeping] Jesus, time is cruel. We should start taking fish oil.

And green tea.

Yeah, 'cause that'll totally reverse the effects of 90-plus years of life. Get real. It's all downhill from 30 on.

Shut up!

Nancy

Be quiet. [Silas walks in] What did they say?

That the nurse was fired a month ago. Said a family member called and said he was taking over her care.

Oh, shit, family member? No, no, no. Forget this. I'm leaving.

Nancy

Oh, no, wait. We don't know for sure. Don't you have cousins? Isn't he on a riverboat somewhere?

He probably sunk it. It's him. I know it's him. Look. Look around. Paintings missing from the wall. All right, here we go. Tchotchkes missing. Bubbie's watching the World Poker Tour? [looks in the fridge] Ah! Look. [holds up boxed wine] He's here.

Nancy

[a phone call wakes her up] Hello?

RRudolpho

I have your friend.

Nancy

What? Who is this? What friend?

RRudolpho

Your friend Celia. I have her and you pay me money or she dies.

Nancy

Celia?

RRudolpho

Celia Hodes! I have kidnapped her and today I chop off her ear.

Nancy

How Van Gogh.

RRudolpho

What? You send me $40,000 or I'll do it!

Nancy

That's too early for this, we're really not friends.

RRudolpho

Okay, $30,000... [Nancy hangs up]

DDriver

Some idiot is standing in front of the car.

Nancy

Oh that's no idiot that's my...actually you're right.

(out of breath) I was parking when you were pulling away and I was all 'Hey, Nancy!' but you couldn't hear me so I started running which is harder then it looks.

Driver: Should I keep driving?

Nancy

Yes

Andy: Yeah, sure. On a bit of a buzz here, adrenaline rush or anticipation. I'm a man on a mission Nance, a man with a plan. What could that plan be? she asks herself intrigued yes, perhaps even captivated by the-

Nancy: Shut. Up

(short pause) Okay here it goes-

Nancy

You never listen-

I listen-

Nancy

You don't.

I trying to tell you something big that's happening in my life.

Nancy

Major event for Andy? You going to Candy Mountain?

Does it always have to be about you?
