Aunt Lydia Clements
- Aunt Lydia Clements: Commander Lawrence is a very brilliant, very important man. He's considered the architect of Gilead's economy. Have you nothing to say for yourself?
- Emily Malek: I'm wondering why such an important, brilliant man would take in such a shitty handmaid.
- Aunt Lydia Clements: ...we are bound by Mrs. Waterford's wishes.
- June Osborne: Why? You promised me you would take care of this baby.
- Aunt Lydia Clements: Yes. Well. One can't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. We must look to the future. And you are a popular girl. Several households have already made overtures. Commander and Mrs. Weber sent me these baked goods. Bit of bribery. Take one, dear. You've earned it.
- June Osborne: I think I've earned all the cake.
- Aunt Lydia Clements: Prideful girls don't get anything.
- June Osborne: [takes one] Thank you.
- Aunt Lydia Clements: We'll be back for more in three hours.
- June Osborne: [voiceover] Bran. Great. Praised fucking be.
- Fred Waterford: Nicole? This is Offred.
- June Osborne: Nicole.
- Aunt Lydia Clements: A beautiful name for a beautiful child! She looks just like her father.
- Aunt Lydia Clements: Shall we wait for Mrs. Lawrence?
- Joseph Lawrence: She won't be coming down, she's not feeling well. We're good here.
- Aunt Lydia Clements: Blessed be the fruit.
- Joseph Lawrence: Glory be.
