Quotes

Denise : I'm not mad at Tom. He's right. I am the nice one. The "peacemaker," because that's what this family has made me.
Marina : I get it. Before I married into the Hayworths, I never used to drink wine. I mean, I did, but I didn't need to.
Denise : Everyone expects me to be the mediator, the voice of reason. Do you know how exhausting it is to be empathetic all the time?
Marina : I do not.

Monroe Davies : Mind if I get a splash?
Denise : Oh, of course. You know, we're all really excited for Tom and for us, 'cause we've been on this journey with him, and it has been a long one.
Monroe Davies : That's a nice sentiment. Truth be told, the lesbian sister-in-law is my favourite character.
Denise : Oh! Okay, thank you.
[chuckles]
Monroe Davies : I mean, everyone else has such big, brash personalities just jumping off the page. "Ooh, I'm so interesting," and "Pay attention to me!"
[chuckles]
Monroe Davies : And then there's you. The nice one.
Denise : Oh. Well, I'm more than just nice.
Monroe Davies : Oh, of course. I mean, you know, you're also sensible, practical, rational.
Denise : Okay, you're just listing synonyms for nice.
Monroe Davies : Oh. Well, they all apply. Cheers.

Monroe Davies : Hello, hello!
Tom : Mr. Davies!
Monroe Davies : Please, call me Monroe. Nice place. Little small.
Tom : Welcome. This is... this is my family.
Monroe Davies : You know what? I already know you intimately from the novel. Now, let's see. This must be Elena, the true crime-obsessed wife, never far from a glass of wine.
Marina : This is... this is champagne.
Monroe Davies : And Colin, the deep-pocketed himbo.
Connor : Yeah, I'll take it.
Monroe Davies : And of course, the lesbians!
Sarah , Denise : [nonplussed, overlapping] Bingo. We are that, yeah. So great.
