Quotes 

• The Commander : We only wanted to make the world better.

  Offred : Better?

  The Commander : Better never means better for everyone. It always means worse for some.

• [last lines] 

  Offred : [on Ofglen]  They didn't get everything. There was something inside of her that they couldn't take away. She looked invincible.

• Offred : [Voiceover]  What have I learned after 34 games? I've learned that he likes it when I flirt. And I like it when he lets me win. We're a match made in heaven. It reminds me of a poem I read once: "You fit into me like a hook into an eye. A fishhook. An open eye."

• Offred : [final lines]  Mayday. Luke told me once where the term comes from. It's French: m'aidez. Help me.

• The Commander : Not even close - you ran away with that one.

  Offred : I got lucky.

  The Commander : Maybe you're just learning my weaknesses.

  Offred : Maybe.

  The Commander : I'll have to be more careful.

  Offred : What's the fun in that?

• Offred : Those were all destroyed.

  The Commander : Some of us retain an appreciation for the old things.

• Offred : [Voiceover]  I used to buy magazines like this at the airport. I read them when I got my hair highlighted. Now the models all look insane. Like zoo animals unaware they're about to go extinct.

• Lillie Fuller : You're cute. You used to do yoga class. Spinning or something, before? And your man liked to cook.

  Offred : I don't know what you're talking about.

  Lillie Fuller : You guys had a first-floor walkup, down Back Bay, with a garden; hedges off a Nordstrom's card, right?

  Offred : I liked Anthropologie.

  Lillie Fuller : Yeah? I used to get fucked behind the dumpster just so I could buy a six of Oxy and a Happy Meal. I'm clean now. I got a safe place to sleep every night and I have people who are nice to me. Yeah. They're nice.

  Offred : All right.

  Lillie Fuller : And I wanna keep it that way.

• The Commander : I just find the thing so impersonal.

  Offred : You think?

• Serena Joy Waterford : I was thinking maybe we could try another way.

  Offred : I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean.

  Serena Joy Waterford : I mean with another man.

  Offred : It's forbidden!

  Serena Joy Waterford : Officially, yes, but women do it all the time. I'm sure you've heard the stories.

• Offred : We had choices then.

  The Commander : Now you have respect. You have protection, you can fulfill your biological destinies in peace.

  Offred : Biological destiny.

  The Commander : Children. What else is there to live for?

  Offred : Love.

  The Commander : Love?

  Offred : Yes.

  The Commander : [chuckles]  Love isn't real. It was never anything more than lust, with a good marketing campaign.

  Offred : Maybe for you but not for me.

  The Commander : What did you say?

  Offred : Nothing.
