Katey Sagal: Cate Hennessy

Quotes 

• C.J. Barnes : [Imitating Hannibal Lecter's creepy calm voice from Silence Of The Lambs]  Hello, Cate.

  Cate Hennessy : [Noticing C. J. sitting in the dark dining room, wearing a white fedora and drinking a cup of tea]  How long have you been there?

  C.J. Barnes : [Voice]  Bridget, Kerry. Kerry, Bridget. What do they covet most, Cate?

  Cate Hennessy : Boys?

  C.J. Barnes : [Voice]  Yes. Many, many boys.

  Cate Hennessy : But this still doesn't make any sense! I was just upstairs in their room...

  C.J. Barnes : [Voice]  Snooping, Clarice?

  Cate Hennessy : Cleaning! And I found my suitcase, and then these websites to various hotels.

  C.J. Barnes : [Voice]  Hmm... Suitcase, hotel, boys. One banana, two banana, three banana, four.

• C.J. Barnes : [Imitating Hannibal Lecter's creepy calm voice from Silence Of The Lambs]  What we have here, Cate, is a Trash & Dash.

  Cate Hennessy : What's that?

  C.J. Barnes : [Voice]  An underground party, thrown every year by the cool kids at school. They rent a fancy hotel suite, throw a big party, trash the place, then dash out without paying. Trash & Dash.

  Cate Hennessy : You did that?

  C.J. Barnes : [Normal voice]  I said the cool kids did, all right? I asked my friends about it, they're like "Nah, it's a myth."

  Cate Hennessy : You know, actually that makes sense. Champagne, hotel rooms, the cool kids didn't invite you. Thanks, C. J.

  C.J. Barnes : [Hannibal voice]  You have to admit it, Cate, the world's a more interesting place with me in it.

  Cate Hennessy : C. J., why are you talking like that?

  C.J. Barnes : [Normal voice]  I don't know.

• Cate Hennessy : Corn?

  [She sits up] 

  Bridget Hennessy : [Flashback VO]  The chips are potato and corn...

  [She stands up and knocks a bag over. A flyer falls out that reads "Evergreen - It's totally fresh 'n' fun"] 

  Kerry Hennessy : [Flashback VO]  We rented... Evergreen. We hear it's totally fresh and fun...

  Cate Hennessy : [Flashback VO, reading a flyer]  An overnight stay in a tranquility suite...

  Rory Hennessy : [Flashback, hanging up the phone]  That's weird. Travis Stevens just called and invited me to stay over...

  Bridget Hennessy : [Flashback VO]  We're gonna do some vacuuming, so you might wanna put your earplugs in, Grandpa.

  C.J. Barnes : [Flashback, sipping a cup of tea]  What do they covet most, Cate? Many, many boys...

  Cate Hennessy : Ooh, those girls! They are so dead!

  [Hops out of the room]
