Quotes[]

Cooper: What's your problem? You look like someone died.
Charlotte: Dying. Big Daddy.
Cooper: Big Daddy? Well, that is a screen name. When you get back on the horse, you really get back on the horse.
Charlotte: Cooper.
Cooper: What's killing him? The sex or the cold-fish attitude?
Charlotte: Big Daddy's my father.
Cooper: Sex is good. Relationships are bad. Relationships are what cause people to be cold and lying and deceitful. You know, you're a therapist.
Violet: Okay, professionally, I'd dispute that, and suggest you need to see your therapist, but personally, yes.
Cooper: As a red-blooded American, sex is your birthright. Go forth, enjoy, guilt-free.
Violet: I will. I will exercise my right.
Wyatt: It takes me back to residency, you know, when life was simple.
Addison: See, I have a hard time picturing you taking crap from your attending.
Wyatt: By year two, they all hated me.
Addison: It took them that long?
Addison: Nai?
Naomi: Oh, God. I am not here. This is not jealousy. This is concern for my daughter.
Addison: Nai, remember when Maya told you... Remember when Maya told you to get a life?
Naomi: I have a life. I have a great life.
Addison: I'm just standing here on my patio, in the dark, spying on your ex, his girlfriend and your daughter.
Naomi: I'm being replaced. Sonya is my replacement. That's Maya's new mommy.
Naomi: Violet Turner, I am your friend and I know you. Sleeping with Sheldon and Pete is not you.
Violet: Oh, come on. When Cooper does it, he gets a slap on the back and an "attaboy." But when I do it, when a woman takes control of her sexuality, she's a whore.
Naomi: You are just not that person. Something is going on here. I mean, I don't know, you're avoiding something or in denial or something psychological. I don't know. You're the therapist, you know, and you know that this is not good.
Addison: Wouldn't it be better just to figure out which one you wanna be with?
Violet: How can I choose? I mean, Pete is all heat. I just see him, and I melt. And Sheldon is comfort.
Charlotte: Big Daddy always said cancer was just his chickens coming home to roost. See, he didn't believe in tears. If he ever cried, he did it in private. Cancer was just his chickens. Payback for being a son of a bitch. And he was a son of a bitch to everybody. Everybody but me. He loved me being a doctor. He loved that I didn't just marry some boy and have a bunch of babies. He would've killed me for marrying a son of a bitch of my own, because he knew what that would have been like for me. But if I'd have stayed, married some boy and had babies, I would have been here when he got sick. I would have been here to take care of him. So these aren't his chickens. These are my chickens. Because now I'm the doctor in the family, and I know what has to be done.
Cooper: Charlotte.
Charlotte: I can do this. Shut up. I can do this. I can do this, damn it.
Sam: You are who you are, and you shouldn't have to hide that from anybody.
Violet: Look, Pete, Sheldon, I'm sleeping with both of you. I thought it was okay, but it's not. I realize that you just can't do that. I can't do that, and I'm sorry.
Pete: Who are you?
Violet: He's right. I'm a mess.
Sheldon: We're all a mess. Don't you know that by now? All I know is, I don't mind finding out who you are.
Sam: I just wanted to say that I feel I have a responsibility to our daughter. For her to know who I am, good or bad. Even if that means telling her who I'm dating. I never want her to not know who I am.
