Bernadette
- Bernadette: I just need you to know how hard it is for me sometimes.
- Bee Branch: What's hard?
- Bernadette: The banality of life. But I retail the right to be incredibly moved by those little things no one notices. For better and worse.
- Bernadette: I guess I just wanted to leave LA in a snit, and when I determined that everyone felt sufficiently sorry for me unfurl my cape and swoop in to launch my second act and show those bastards who the true bitch goddess of architecture really is.
- Bernadette: It's just, the way I work is I have to inhabit a space before I can even begin designing it. Before I can discover what it needs to be. Just thinking about it has got my heart racing...
- Ellen Idelson: Uh-oh...
- Bernadette: Oh, no, it's not the bad kind of heart racing, as in 'I'm gonna die!', it's the good kind of heart racing, as in 'Hello, can I help you with something? 'Cause if not, step aside, because I'm going to kick the shit it of life!'
- Becky: [approaching in another kayak] Hello. Hey, who are you?
- Bernadette: Ah. Funny. I was just wondering that myself. When you're in a boat in Antarctica, and there's no night, who are you? I'm thinking I'm a ghost on a ghost ship in a ghost land.
- Bernadette: Fuck you for bringing Bee into this!
- Audrey: No. Don't you do this. We love Bee. Bee is a terrific girl. She's a wonderful student. In fact, it just goes to show how resilient children are because she turned out so well.
