Jaime Pressly: Jill Kendall

Quotes 

• Jill : [explaining the links in the ecosystem]  See, in India, they have rats, but not too many, because they have snakes that eat the rats, but not too many, because they have mongooses that eat the snakes. And if one link is missing, the whole thing falls apart.

  Tammy : What does that have to do with Wendy accidentally unplugging her refrigerator?

  Jill : Wendy is the rat, and she's rambling on because the snake has been home the last few days tending to our little blonde mongoose.

  Tammy : ....Oh! It's a metaphor!

• Marjorie : We came to see how everything's going.

  Bonnie : [after the tub overflowed]  Great, really great!

  Jill : Why are you all wet?

  Bonnie : Because everything's bad! Really bad!

  [breaks down] 

  Bonnie : I TRIED! I tried to be a good mom, and I yelled at Christy, I yelled at my sick kid! I'm a monster!

  Marjorie : Bonnie, even the best mom in the world loses it sometimes.
