- Rita: How's it feel?
- June Osborne: Oh, it's fine. I think I broke my hand, though.
- Rita: Praised be.
- Rita: [they hear the baby cry in the next room] Her royal highness is awake.
- June Osborne: 'Kay.
- Rita: [to Nick] Your girlfriend is a badass.
- June Osborne: [first lines, voiceover] This is all she leaves behind. There won't be a marker anywhere. Heretics don't get to rest in peace. Here, they use them for animal feed. Aunt Lydia told us that at the Red Center. Waste not, want not. All we leave behind is the uniform. Wife. Handmaid. Martha. Mother. Daughter. Girlfriend. Queen. Bitch. Criminal. Sinner. Heretic. Prisoner.
- Fred Waterford: Nick. Get downstairs. Pull together a search team.
- Nick Blaine: You stay inside, sir.
- Fred Waterford: My child is missing!
- Nick Blaine: It's too dangerous out there. We'll stay here.
- Emily Malek: I keep dreaming... about Oliver.
- June Osborne: His birthday soon?
- Emily Malek: Next week. Seven. Years old.
- June Osborne: Well, we should celebrate.
- Janine Lindo: We can bake a cake!
- June Osborne: Or tequila?
- Janine Lindo: Oh, tequila! I miss you most of all.
- Serena Joy Waterford: I did this for Nicole. I did it to set an example for our daughter.
- Fred Waterford: And so you have.
- Fred Waterford: An obedient handmaid... might be able to stay in this house. How does that sound?
- June Osborne: It isn't... it's not allowed.
- Fred Waterford: Well, rules can be bent for a... higher-ranking commander. You can stay here... with your baby. We could try again. For a boy this time. Could be fun.
- June Osborne: Go fuck yourself, Fred.
- Fred Waterford: I might even be able to arrange more visits with Hannah. As long as you... behave properly. Think about it.
- Janine Lindo: Do you think they're together in heaven?
- June Osborne: They should be together here.
- Janine Lindo: Why do you always say the bad stuff?
- Fred Waterford: Where's Rita?
- June Osborne: I don't know.
- Fred Waterford: [sighs] God send me an obedient woman.
- June Osborne: You let them do that to Serena.
- Fred Waterford: We all have our roles to play. Serena needed to be reminded of hers.
- Aunt Lydia Clements: I hope you appreciate... the opportunity you've been given in this house. God is truly merciful. He offers redemption even to the most perverse and degenerate among his flock.
- [pause]
- Aunt Lydia Clements: It's like I cut out your tongue!
- June Osborne: They drowned her. In a swimming pool.
- Janine Lindo: She died for love.
- June Osborne: I found a book. It was hidden in her things. A Bible.
- Janine Lindo: Wow. Brave.
- June Osborne: Yeah, she was.
- Warren Putnam: How can we help you?
- Serena Joy Waterford: Our covenant allows those in good standing to come forward with amendments to be considered by the council. We would like to propose such an amendment.
- Fred Waterford: We?
- Serena Joy Waterford: [after more than two dozen other wives file in] As faithful servants, it is our duty to ensure that the children of Gilead live by the laws of Scripture. The Holy Scripture is a miracle. It is a gift given by Him to all of humanity. We believe... that our sons and daughters... should be taught to read it.
- Warren Putnam: That is a radical proposal, Mrs. Waterford.
- Serena Joy Waterford: Offered with the deepest respect. And the love that I have for my daughter, and for all the daughters in Gilead.
- Fred Waterford: Thank you. We will certainly... discuss the matter seriously.
- Serena Joy Waterford: She wasn't strong enough.
- June Osborne: She was 15 years old!
- Serena Joy Waterford: Yes, she was 15 years old. She should have been smarter.
- June Osborne: She was trying to... understand God! For fuck sake, Serena, she was trying to read the fucking Bible!
- Serena Joy Waterford: Don't use that language in front of my daughter!
- June Osborne: How are you going to keep her safe? How are you going to keep her safe? What are you going to do - are you going to lock her up here like an orchid?
- Joseph Lawrence: God speed.
- June Osborne: Emily!
- Emily Malek: What is happening?
- Joseph Lawrence: I'm getting myself in deep shit.
- June Osborne: You're getting out.
- Emily Malek: Out?
- June Osborne: You're getting out of Gilead.
- June Osborne: I found this. In Eden's things. It's a real book. She wrote notes all over it.
- [hands it to Serena]
- Serena Joy Waterford: It seems like Eden was hiding a multitude of sins.
- June Osborne: What sins?
- Serena Joy Waterford: What?
- June Osborne: What sins was she hiding? What? Serena?
- Emily Malek: I have my first Ceremony, tonight at the new house.
- Janine Lindo: Oh, I hate the first one. It's so awkward.
- June Osborne: May God bless his endeavor. Bring forth his miracle. You'll get through it.
- Emily Malek: Sure.
- June Osborne: Just imagine your commander falling into a wood chipper or...
- Janine Lindo: Oh, no! Don't think of that, that's awful! Oh my god!
- Rita: She was a child. I didn't have a kind word for her.
- June Osborne: That's not true.
- Rita: I treated her like shit.
- June Osborne: I slept with her husband.
- Rita: I should have tried. To help her.
