Jean Smart: Charlene Frazier Stillfield

Quotes 

• Julia Sugarbaker : [On the phone with Charlene]  Hello, Charlene. I just wanted to thank you again for turning me into the judge. Now, the whole jury is sequestered till Lord only knows when, and I am here in Motel Hell, sharing a room with a women with no lips.

  Charlene Frazier Stillfield : Julia, I had to do it. We violated that law. By the way, I don't think you're supposed to be making telephone calls. I'd hate to have to report this, too.

  Julia Sugarbaker : If you are so all fire, heaped up about turning people in, I believe you'll find some overdue library books in my upstairs den. Why don't you just report that too, and maybe you'll get your merit badge, you big 'ole donkey girl scout!

  Charlene Frazier Stillfield : Now Julia, you sound overwrought.

  Julia Sugarbaker : Yeah, well you're going to think overwrought. If I miss my dinner with Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter because of this you're gonna pay and I mean pay big! I'm gonna find you and hunt you down like a dog! I'm talkin' about you runnin' around in the woods in the snow with bloodhounds rippin' your clothes off! And remember Charlene, I have your address. You'll be wise to ask yourself do I know where my baby is!

  Charlene Frazier Stillfield : [Julia has hung up]  Julia! Julia?

  [Hanging up the phone] 

  Charlene Frazier Stillfield : Oh my gosh, she threatened Olivia.

  Mary Jo Shively : What did she say?

  Charlene Frazier Stillfield : She said she's gonna hunt me down and hire bloodhounds to rip my clothes off. Now I, I- I thought the judge was just gonna give her a warning, I didn't know she'd be shut up in a motel room. Now Suzanne, you know Julia, I mean when this is all over she'll realize I had to do it and, and- and forgive me, dontcha think?

  Suzanne Sugarbaker : I think you and your baby should get some black wigs on and get the hell outta town.

• Mary Jo Shively : Maybe Bill can put in for a transfer. I hear there's a big base up in Greenland. On second thought, Julia'd probably just strap some snow shoes to her pumps and track you down like caribou.

  Charlene Frazier Stillfield : I didn't know Julia had this in her.

  Mary Jo Shively : Well, we all have things about ourselves that even we don't know.
