Nora Walker Quotes
 | Season 3 / Episode 9: - Unfinished Business Nora Walker: Oh Saul, you and William built Ojai from nothing. Why can't we do that here? Build another family legacy, something that will live on way past us. Something that doesn't include Holly! [pause] I've never done anything like this before, I've never believed in anything so strongly. This is my Ojai! |
 | Season 3 / Episode 8: - Going Once... Going Twice Nora Walker: You just don't believe anyone can succeed without your help. There you go, Kevin Walker to the rescue. But you know what? Maybe some people would really like to do things without your help. Maybe we don't want to be rescued, maybe we'd like you to mind your own business. Kevin Walker: I think you're being really unfair, because you always said how happy you were when Dad surprised you with our house. Paul: Your dad the cheater? Justin Walker: Not now, Paul. Nora Walker: I pretended to be happy. God, all the years I pretended to be happy with what was handed to me, as if it were inconceivable I might actually have an opinion of my own. You know what, the men in this family need to learn they can't barge into every situation like a bull in a china shop, thinking they can fix everything themselves! |
| Season 3 / Episode 8: - Going Once... Going Twice Nora Walker: Holy crap! I just bought a house! |
 | Season 3 / Episode 7: - Do You Believe in Magic? Sarah Walker: You guys done the dance with no pants? Nora Walker: Sarah! Sarah Walker: What? Come on, one of us should be having sex, and sadly it's not me. Nora Walker: Well, it's not me either. Just because I brought a friend to the party does not mean we're sleeping together. I mean, you brought two men with you, I'm not accusing you of having a menage-a-trois. Sarah Walker: Mom! Nora Walker: You're the one who brought up sex. Sarah Walker: Well, I regret it. |
| Season 3 / Episode 7: - Do You Believe in Magic? Nora Walker: I can't help feeling there's something looming on the horizon. Saul Holden: Oh, that's a bit over-dramatic, wouldn't you say? Nora Walker: Even the fortune teller said that. Saul Holden: Now who's buying into magic? Nora Walker: She said someone would come into our lives that would cause great upheaval. Saul Holden: She said that I would meet a nice woman and I would settle down. |
 | Season 3 / Episode 6: - Bakersfield Nora Walker: I hate you, William Walker! You're a selfish son of a bitch! Kitty McCallister: Oh, Mom, stop! Nora Walker: Don't stop me. - You never loved anyone but yourself and your stupid penis! |
 | Season 3 / Episode 5: - You Get What You Need Holly Harper: You know, it is so amusing watching you panic when things don't turn out exactly the way you have it planned. Oh, God forbid that I upset your perfect little apple cart. Nora Walker: Well, at least I have an apple cart. Holly, I really think it's your jealousy that makes me pity you the most. Holly Harper: Pity? Nora Walker: U-huh! And I don't believe for one minute you'd be willing to jeopardize your relationship with Rebecca, because if you do anything... Holly Harper: I never said that I was going to do anything. I probably won't. But then again, I do have these bad days... |
 | Season 3 / Episode 2: - Book Burning Nora Walker: [reading from book cover] "A Family in Politics," by Kitty Walker. Justin Walker: Did she write that? Nora Walker: Oh yes, she wrote it. We all come off like a bunch of ridiculous caricatures. Okay, listen. "My mother, easily a blue-stater, claims to be 'socially progressive.' She's even got an arrest for possession of marihuana under her belt." My criminal record is now public knowledge? Justin Walker: You know, it's a misdemeanor, Mom. Nora Walker: Says the drug addict! |
| Season 3 / Episode 2: - Book Burning Nora Walker: Robert, I understand you're feeling protective. But this is between Kitty and us. Robert McCallister: No, tonight is about Kitty and me. It's not about anybody else. All you needed to do was keep your opinions to yourself for two hours! Nora Walker: We tried. Robert McCallister: Well, you didn't try hard enough. Look, I spend all my time dealing with spoiled, self-centered politicians, and tonight I feel like I never left D.C.! Nora Walker: Well, we aren't politicians, Robert, we're human beings, and we don't know how to hide our feelings and pretend everything is hunky-dory! Robert McCallister: It's not pretending, it's being considerate. Nora Walker: I am considerate. I consider all my children all the time, and you don't know what it's like to feel that you've been betrayed by one of them. Robert McCallister: No, I know how you feel. I know how all of you feel, because the minute you have a feeling you start spewing with complete disregard for anybody else like a bunch of children. You're adults, get a filter! |
 | Season 3 / Episode 1: - Glass Houses Kevin Walker: Mom, the cat is out of the bag. Nora Walker: Put it back in! |
| Season 3 / Episode 1: - Glass Houses Nora Walker: I wasn't really sure I was going to tell you this, but I realize my whole family knows about it, it's really only a matter of time until you find out. And I want to be here when you do. Holly Harper: Find out about what? Nora Walker: Oh Holly, it must feel so good sitting here and looking around at what was once William's world. But you don't know the half of it. He had another lover. And they had a child together. A boy, Ryan. Holly Harper: I don't believe you. Nora Walker: Yes, you do. |
 | Season 2 / Episode 15: - Moral Hazard Nora Walker: My God, Saul. What have you done? |
| Season 2 / Episode 15: - Moral Hazard Sarah Walker: This is Dad's legacy, Mom. He put me in charge. He left it up to me. Nora Walker: Maybe he shouldn't have, Sarah. Ojai was his company, not yours. You should never have been pressured to walk in his footsteps; he never gave you that choice. He picked you. From the time you were a little girl he saw something in you. And I... I let him have you. Sarah, listen to me. If Ojai goes down... maybe it's a good thing. Maybe it's time to let it go. And then finally you could be your own person. Sarah Walker: I am, Mom. Dad didn't force this on me, I wanted it. I always did. |
 | Season 2 / Episode 13: - Separation Anxiety Nora Walker: Bloating, weight gain... Julia Walker: Been there. Nora Walker: Irritability, mood swings... Julia Walker: Done that. Nora Walker: Facial... Facial hair? Kitty McCallister: Oh, I know! You know, when Robert lost the election I thought he was going to do that thing, you know that thing that they do? They gain weight and they grow a beard? Well, it turns out that I'm going to be the one looking like Al Gore. |
| Season 2 / Episode 13: - Separation Anxiety Nora Walker: I'm not moving away because I need to replace your father or I'm afraid to be alone or whatever else you can think of. I'm leaving to get away from all of you! You think I don't notice all the eye-rolling and sighing, the little looks you give each other every time I open my mouth? You're constantly complaining that I'm manipulative and I'm controlling and I invade your life. Well, take a good look in the mirror, my darling children! I try to change one thing in my life and you all launch so many covert actions you might as well be the CIA. Oh God, it felt so good to make a decision for myself without taking everyone else's feelings into account. No, I'm doing this for me. And frankly, it's about damn time! |
 | Season 2 / Episode 8: - Something New Nora Walker: Oh, Stan, I was so madly in love with you. Why did you leave? You ran off to Canada, you left everything. Your family, your friends, me. Stan Harris: I wasn't enough for you. Nora Walker: What are you talking about? Stan Harris: You love the fight you can't win. You already had me. I mean, even then I knew I wasn't a challenge. |
 | Season 2 / Episode 7: - 36 Hours Nora Walker: I have always wanted you desperately to find somebody to love. Saul Holden: How do you know that I haven't? Nora Walker: Stop talking in circles. Saul Holden: Nora, I am not who you think I am. Nora Walker: My husband was in love with another woman for most of our marriage. Saul Holden: Well, I was in love with a man. |
 | Season 2 / Episode 4: - States of the Union Nora Walker: It would be so great. We could stay up late, Kitty, and plan your wedding. Sarah, we could get some serious talking in about you and Joe's situation. We could regroup and get perspective. It would be so great, a real girls' getaway. Yeah! Kitty Walker, Sarah Whedon: [reluctantly] Yeah! |
 | Season 2 / Episode 3: - History Repeating Nora Walker: Even last year, even with William's death, amidst it all there was always this sense of reason to it. But not with this. This time there's only pain. That's why I want him to take his medication. The only good that will come out of any of this is when it finally stops. |
 | Season 2 / Episode 2: - An American Family Nora Walker: What are you trying to prove? Justin Walker: That I'm still me. |
 | Season 2 / Episode 1: - Home Front Nora Walker: I'm just trying to be nice. Kitty Walker: I don't want nice, I want my mother. |
| Season 2 / Episode 1: - Home Front Nora Walker: Listen, we're giving a birthday dinner tonight for Kitty, would you like to come? See Rebecca? Holly Harper: I'd love to! I mean, unless, I mean, I don't want to impose. Nora Walker: Holly, you being here at my husband's grave site, that's an imposition. You sharing a taco with your daughter I can live with. |
 | Season 1 / Episode 23: - Matriarchy Nora Walker: You know what, I've talked to the others. You took Tommy surfing the other day, you took Sarah and the kids to the zoo, you've asked me to go to the museum tomorrow. What are you going to do with Kitty, take her to the Reagan library? Justin Walker: Why are you busting my chops, mom? Nora Walker: Because I know what you're doing. Justin Walker: I'm not doing anything, okay? I'm saying goodbye to my family because I'm... Nora Walker: What? Finish the sentence. Justin Walker: Because I'm going to Iraq, mom. Nora Walker: That's not what you're thinking. |
| Season 1 / Episode 23: - Matriarchy Justin Walker: Mom, I'm going to a place where people are getting blown up on a daily basis, okay? There's a very real possibility that I'm not gonna come back... Nora Walker: Stop! Stop. If you go back believing something's going to happen to you, then something's going to happen to you. Justin Walker: What do you want me to do, pretend I'm invincible? Nora Walker: I want you to know as deeply and surely as I do that you are coming home. And that is the only thought you should have in your head. |
| Season 1 / Episode 23: - Matriarchy Nora Walker: Well, if you feel you're ready to move out, then... Kitty Walker: Ready? Why wouldn't I be ready? Nora Walker: Of course you're ready. And I will miss you, probably terribly. But let's face it, you're a little old to be living with your mother. Kitty Walker: Oh you know what, mom, why do you have to insult me, why don't you just come out and tell me that you're gonna miss me? Nora Walker: Why can't you just come out and say you're scared to move out? Why do you have to make me into this clinging neurotic mother who's trying to force you to stay? Sarah Whedon: Wow, it's like the passive-aggressive Olympics here today. |
| Season 1 / Episode 23: - Matriarchy Robert McCallister: I'm sorry about my family. Nora Walker: You never have to apologize for family. Besides, it's refreshing to be the tame ones for a change. |
 | Season 1 / Episode 21: - Grapes of Wrath Holly Harper: I can't believe you did that! This dress is couture! Nora Walker: I'm sure it's been stained before! |
| Season 1 / Episode 21: - Grapes of Wrath Nora Walker: Sarah, you're such a good mom. I know you're not a quitter, sweetheart. I wasn't either, and maybe that's why I never let myself see what was really happening. I stood by your father blindly, no matter what. I don't want you to make the same mistakes I did, I don't want you to. You have to decide whether you can ever trust Joe again or not, and if you can't... Sarah Whedon: What if I can? |
| Season 1 / Episode 21: - Grapes of Wrath Nora Walker: Holly, I'm going to tell you something you don't want to hear. You have to let him go. I did. |
 | Season 1 / Episode 20: - Bad News Nora Walker: This is not a class. You're asking me out. Is this because I wouldn't go out on a date with you? If it is mister, let me tell you this is sexual harassment and I don't plan to take that lying down. Mark August: The jokes that are running through my head right now. Nora Walker: Well, keep them there. |
