- Tanya McQuoid-Hunt: Oh, it's a good feeling when you realize that someone has money. 'Cause then you don't have to worry about them wanting yours.
- Harper Spiller: I think something happened. When we were in Noto.
- Daphne Sullivan: Like what? I'm sure whatever happened wasn't a big deal. And if anything ever did happen, you just... do what you have to do to make yourself feel better about it. I have this trainer in the city. Lawrence. He's so handsome. He has blonde hair and these, like, big, blue eyes. He's really funny, too. I spend more time with him than Cameron sometimes. 'Cause he's so busy at work. Such a cutie. Wanna see a pic?
- Harper Spiller: This is just a picture of your kids.
- Daphne Sullivan: Is it? Whoopsie. We'll find it later. Anyway, the point is... maybe you should get a trainer.
- Ethan Spiller: Cameron would always sleep with the girls that I liked, but before I could get to them. If I ever told him that I liked a girl, he would swoop in and have sex with them within a week.
- Daphne Sullivan: Cameron. Rude.
- Ethan Spiller: You have a bad case of something called mimetic desire.
- Daphne Sullivan: What's that?
- Ethan Spiller: If someone with higher status than you wants something, it means it's more likely that you'll want it, too.
- Cameron Sullivan: You did not have higher status than me.
- Ethan Spiller: Not then, maybe. I mean, I was smarter than you. Maybe you thought that fucking women I had a connection with would make you smarter.
- Dominic Di Grasso: You know, I... I... I don't know how I feel about you spending a lot of time with those girls, Albie.
- Albie Di Grasso: Why? What's the problem?
- Bert Di Grasso: I think because they're escorts.
- Albie Di Grasso: How do you know?
- Bert Di Grasso: Well, because...
- Albie Di Grasso: Because what?
- Bert Di Grasso: Because I wasn't born yesterday, and it's fairly obvious.
- Dominic Di Grasso: Dad, what is the matter with you? I... I mean, you almost just...
- Bert Di Grasso: Just what?
- Dominic Di Grasso: You know what. I'm trying to smooth things over with Albie and with everyone, and that would, you know... that would really not be good.
- Bert Di Grasso: I can't be responsible for everything I say, I'm concussed. I just hit my head.
- Cameron Sullivan: I booked a car, so we can head out to Etna. Check out some of these wineries, little day-drinking, little wine-tasting.
- Daphne Sullivan: Apparently, the wine has, like, a bunch of volcanic minerals in it.
- Cameron Sullivan: Yeah. Healthy wine.
- Daphne Sullivan: So, we can get drunk, and then tomorrow our skin, and our hair, and our nails will be glowing.
- Cameron Sullivan: What do you guys think? Huh? E?
- Ethan Spiller: Yeah, sure. If it's good with Harper.
- Harper Spiller: Yeah, yeah, why not? Let's get drunk. Maybe we can find some Molly and really rage.
- Quentin: Now... you know, after hearing the story of your love life, we decided you were like a tragic heroine in a Puccini opera. I told you this.
- Tanya McQuoid-Hunt: Yeah, but... Is that a compliment?
- Portia: Can't believe you almost got me arrested. Thought I gave zero fucks, but you give, like, negative fucks.
- Bert Di Grasso: You can't really be surprised, can you?
- Dominic Di Grasso: By what?
- Bert Di Grasso: Well, that he's running around with an escort.
- Dominic Di Grasso: What do you mean?
- Bert Di Grasso: You've normalized it for him.
- Dominic Di Grasso: Right, like you normalized it for me.
- Bert Di Grasso: Oh, I never ran around with hookers.
- Dominic Di Grasso: I don't run around with hookers either.
- Bert Di Grasso: Dom. Didn't you run around with that exact hooker? You gave her the key to my room.
- Dominic Di Grasso: You know the reason I am the way I am is because of you.
- Bert Di Grasso: You're blaming me for your situation? That's rich.
- Dominic Di Grasso: Do you think you were so discrete? Do you? I mean, how many nights did I hear Mom cry herself to sleep? Get real. Everybody knew, Dad. Everybody knew. Everybody knew.
- Bert Di Grasso: We had a great marriage.
- Dominic Di Grasso: Oh, my God. You are deluded. You made her life hell my entire childhood. Do you have amnesia?
- Bert Di Grasso: If I made her life hell, why'd she stay with me?
- Dominic Di Grasso: I have no idea. She didn't know any better. She was a martyr. I don't know.
- Bert Di Grasso: She loved me.
- Dominic Di Grasso: She was a bitter woman. And she died a bitter woman, and she knew about everything you did. Believe me. You were just too self-involved to even notice that. Yeah, and you know what, I... I don't blame you for my situation, but I sure fucking could. Because you never... showed me how to love a woman. You never... showed me how to be intimate. You never showed me how to put others first. You always put yourself first. Always. So I did the same thing.
- Bert Di Grasso: I loved your mother. And she loved me.
- Dominic Di Grasso: It's not that simple.
- Bert Di Grasso: Yes, it is.
- Daphne Sullivan: I feel like you sow your oats when you're young, and then you just, you know, you get it out of your system.
- Cameron Sullivan: I don't know. Not sure it works like that.
- Daphne Sullivan: I know, but that's the idea.
- Cameron Sullivan: Well, it's kinda like food, you know? You... gorge yourself until you're sick. You swear you'll never eat another bite, and then... few days later, you're hungry again.
- Quentin: Gore Vidal, who is a friend... Actually, he used to sleep in the room you're staying in. He once said, "I can understand companionship. I can understand bought sex in the afternoon. But I cannot understand the love affair."
- 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.
