Betty Suarez Quotes

	Season 3 / Episode 4: - Betty Suarez Land Giovanni 'Gio' Rossi: You always do this to me. Right when I think I'm out you pull me right back in. Betty Suarez: Well you know what, Gio? When this is all done you can get back into your 'meaty, cheese van' and drive as far away from 'Betty Suarez Town' as you want. Giovanni 'Gio' Rossi: ...'Suarez Land'.
	Season 3 / Episode 4: - Betty Suarez Land Betty Suarez: Okay! I do not live in 'Betty Suarez Land'... Giovanni 'Gio' Rossi: Oh, yes, you do! '25 Teddy Bear Lane, Betty Suarez Land, USA'. And if you'd step out of it for one minute you'd realize that it takes two to make a relationship and I am not interested. Betty Suarez: Well, why not? Giovanni 'Gio' Rossi: Because you broke my heart!
	Season 3 / Episode 2: - Filing for the Enemy Daniel Meade: So, do you want to come back? Betty Suarez: Well, only if I can keep the raise Wilhelmina gave me. Daniel Meade: [mildly amused] Boy, you sure know how to capitalize on leverage, don't you?
	Season 3 / Episode 2: - Filing for the Enemy Wilhelmina Slater: Look at us! Two women of color out for a fancy lunch in the town! Isn't this fun, girlfriend? Betty Suarez: [laughs nervously] I guess. Wilhelmina Slater: And that blouse is heaven! Where did you get? I love it! Betty Suarez: No you don't! Wilhelmina Slater: No, I don't. It's hideous, like driving through Ohio.
	Season 3 / Episode 2: - Filing for the Enemy Betty Suarez: Can you believe it? My first day here and I helped sell. Marc St. James: Did you flip your wig? I told you to be invisible. Betty Suarez: She asked me a question, and I was helpful. Marc St. James: Don't you get it? Wilhelmina doesn't need help. You never outshine the Queen. Betty Suarez: Yeah, well, she landed a major advertiser, and, by the way, Wilhelmina totally smiled at me. Marc St. James: She wasn't smiling... she was showing her teeth. Wilhelmina Slater: Betty! In my office, now.
	Season 2 / Episode 17: - The Kids Are Alright Betty Suarez: My trophy speaks with a Mexican accent? Giovanni 'Gio' Rossi: All trophies do!
	Season 2 / Episode 17: - The Kids Are Alright Giovanni 'Gio' Rossi: So, the principal turns to her and says 'Betty Suarez, you're expelled!' Antonella: No way! Justin Suarez: Badass! Betty Suarez: No, it is not badass to be expelled from school so don't go getting any ideas. Giovanni 'Gio' Rossi: [hugging his sister Antonella] Too late, you're officially a bad influence.
	Season 2 / Episode 16: - Betty's Baby Bump Betty Suarez: What? Something to say? Charlie: No, I think my water just broke.
	Season 2 / Episode 14: - Twenty-Four Candles Gio: Sorry, not quite the birthday you imagined, huh? Betty Suarez: It's my own fault. I had this stupid fantasy, fireworks, epic romance... like Romeo and Juliet. Gio: Ah! you know those two ended up dead in a tomb, right? Betty Suarez: Yeah... But I don't like thinking about that part. Gio: Fantasies are fun but you live in reality. It's not perfect but that doesn't mean it can't be pretty good. Betty Suarez: I know. I know. And I'm lucky... except for the part where Henry's leaving me after his baby is born.

	Season 2 / Episode 13: - A Thousand Words by Friday Betty Suarez: What?! Who's Phil Roth? Giovanni 'Gio' Rossi: He writes books on how to pick up chicks. Betty Suarez: [shrugs] Oh, my god! Daniel said Phil Roth, but I just thought he was doing his annoying casual thing... Bobby de Niro, Marty Scorsese. I don't want to interview a guy who writes books like that. Giovanni 'Gio' Rossi: Hey! You get to write an article, okay? Now, go in there with an open mind. He's actually got a lot to say!
	Season 2 / Episode 13: - A Thousand Words by Friday Giovanni 'Gio' Rossi: [at a Bar] I think I'm going to go for that blondie over there. Betty Suarez: Gio, don't you think she's a little out of your league? Giovanni 'Gio' Rossi: League?! I'm a guy. The universe is my league!

Giovanni 'Gio' Rossi: You should open with that, chicks would love it. Henry Grubstick: Hey! I can Tap That better than you. Giovanni 'Gio' Rossi: Are you serious? Henry Grubstick: Serious as a nova. Betty Suarez: Guys, no, this is my research, not a contest.

Betty Suarez: That's disgusting! He would never cheat on me. Giovanni 'Gio' Rossi: Yeah [nods] you're right. That's not Eggie's style. Betty Suarez: His name is not 'Eggie'... it's 'Egg Salad'!! [loud laughs] Giovanni 'Gio' Rossi: Betty, are you okay? Betty Suarez: No. It's Henry... It's Henry.

	Season 2 / Episode 10: - Bananas for Betty Giovanni 'Gio' Rossi: It's interesting, you only call me when you need something. When was the last time you've been down to my deli and bought a sandwich?

	Season 2 / Episode 10: - Bananas for Betty Giovanni 'Gio' Rossi: Well, if I loved a girl, and I knew I had so little time left with her, then every night would be a chance to make a memory. Believe me, if there was any ice cream involved, I would be eating it off her stomach. Hilda Suarez: Sexy! Betty Suarez: Gross! Giovanni 'Gio' Rossi: I'd take her out to Montauk, with a bottle of wine, and we'd build a fire and sleep on the beach. Or maybe we'd climb the fire escape to the rooftop of The Blue Note and listen to music. Or maybe we'd just go out dancing. 'Cause you never feel closer to a woman than when you're holding her, ya know? So close you can feel her breath on your neck. [pause] Because love doesn't come around often and I'd want to make every second count.
	Season 2 / Episode 6: - Something Wicked This Way Comes Betty Suarez: [via text messsage] You're about to hear a cough. That's me saying hello. Henry: [via text messsage] You're about to hear a sneeze. That's me saying hello. Giovanni: You're about to hear a gag. That's me... gagging.
	Season 2 / Episode 6: - Something Wicked This Way Comes Betty Suarez: Maybe you could try something catchy. Oh! Like that donut shop downstairs: 'A Hole Lot of Fun'. That just makes me smile!

	Season 2 / Episode 6: - Something Wicked This Way Comes Giovanni: So, I'm just curious, being your boyfriend and all, am I a gentle lover? Betty Suarez: Ew! Shut up. I had to tell my boss that I was going out with someone and you were the first guy I saw. Giovanni: Flattered. So, why are you lying to him? Betty Suarez: Because, well, I'm dating someone that I don't want Daniel to know about. Giovanni: Oooh! You're cheating on me? After I was so gentle?

	Season 2 / Episode 5: - A League of Their Own Amanda Tanen: [Betty is taking a picture to put on an online dating site] Head down, shoot from above, get those bangs to cover those caterpillars, and hide your chins by doing this [puts both hands, touching at the fingertips, under her chin], and for God’s sake, lose the glasses.
