Quotes 

• Victoria Grayson : [finds Charlotte busy on her laptop]  Animal shelters? My God, don't tell me you want a pet.

  Charlotte Grayson : I'm looking for a place to volunteer so I don't have to spend my entire summer in this house of dysfunction. Everyone else knows what really happened to you, Mom. Why can't Daniel?

  Victoria Grayson : The last time push came to shove, he chose to align himself with his father. He can't be trusted... Yet.

  [sighs] 

  Victoria Grayson : You spent $5,000 at a baby store?

  Charlotte Grayson : It's a gift for Amanda. She is my sister.

  Victoria Grayson : Half sister, if that.

  Charlotte Grayson : What is that supposed to mean?

  Victoria Grayson : Never mind. Look, the fact that David Clarke is your father is a secret we have to guard closely for various reasons. For now, you have to stay away from that girl.

  Charlotte Grayson : I'm staying away from everyone. We're sequestered, remember? No one comes in. No one goes out.

  Victoria Grayson : [thinking about Emily]  Well, with one notable exception.

  [stroking Charlotte's hair, deep in thought] 

• Victoria Grayson : [to the reporter]  The thought of never seeing my children again was far worse than anything my captor could have ever done to me. You can call it a mother's will to survive.

  Charlotte Grayson : [interrupting interview]  More like a monster's! I just found out the real reason why you don't want me having a relationship with Amanda. Because she knows the truth about what you did to my father.

  Victoria Grayson : Charlotte, this is not the time.

  Charlotte Grayson : [to the reporter]  Who, for the record, was David Clarke.

  Victoria Grayson : [to the reporter]  If you run that, I will sue you for libel.

  Charlotte Grayson : It's only libel if it isn't true. Go ahead, Mom. Deny it.

  [Victoria inhales sharply, cannot lie her way out of this] 

  Charlotte Grayson : That's what I thought!

  [rushes off] 

  Victoria Grayson : [to the reporter]  This interview's over!

  [rises, marches off]
