Jessica Walter: Fern

Quotes 

• [Family dinner, with Lorena and daughter as guests] 

  Heidi : [to her mother, Fern]  Why are you apologizing to her? She's an unwed mother.

  Fern : Well, better an unwed mother than just plain unwed.

• Heidi : [about Michael going in jail]  Serves him right. I hope you rot there, fucking loser.

  Fern : Heidi! That loser was almost your husband!

  Heidi : Why can't you get it into your head he's a psychopath?

  Fern : I'm *sure* he is. But he's also a very successful accountant.

• Fern : Are you Jewish?

  Lorena : No, I'm Italian.

  Fern : Same thing.

• Fern : You know Lou, when you have kids to raise, you yell.

• Heidi : I wanted to sing. And you made me feel like a fool.

  Fern : Honey, it's not my fault if you felt like a fool. I *always* supported you. I only wanted you to be more realistic.

• Fern : [yelling, after Grandma takes a bread stick]  Ma. You know you can't eat solids. Besides, I have a delicious glass of brisket for you.
