The Best of Frances McDormand

Marge Gunderson
"I'm not sure I agree with you a hundred percent on your police work, there, Lou."

Olive Kitteridge
"I'm waiting for the dog to die so I can shoot myself."

Mildred
"My daughter Angela was murdered 7 months ago, it seems to me the police department is too busy torturing black folk to solve actual crimes."

Linda Litzke
"You know, I'm trying to reinvent myself, and these procedures, which are so incredibly not cheap..."

Abby
"He took me to a psychiatrist one time, to calm me down. The psychiatrist said I was the healthiest person he'd ever talked to, so Marty fired him."

Fern
"It's strange that you encourage people to invest their whole life savings, go into debt, just to buy a house they can't afford."

Mrs. Bishop
"He's not dumb... But I guess he is kind of sad."

Elaine Miller
"He worships you people. And that's fine by you as long as he helps make you rich."

Molly

Lucinda Krementz
"What do they want? To defend their illusions. A luminous abstraction."

Dot
"Rollie! You take that diaper off your head and you put it back on your sister!"

Mrs. Pell
"Hatred isn't something you're born with. It gets taught. At school, they said segregation what's said in the Bible... Genesis 9, Verse 27. At 7 years of age, you get told it enough times, you believe it. You believe the hatred. You live it... you breathe it. You marry it."

Doris Crane
"Life is so goddamn wonderful you almost won't believe it. It's a bowl of goddamn cherries..."

Julie Hastings
"If you're not going to kill me... I have things to do."

Zoe
"Single older women as a demographic are about as fucked a group as can ever exist."
