Elena Undone Quotes

Peyton: At least with Margaret, we were compatible.

Wave: [laughs] Lombard, I've known you since high school, and you were with her because she was safe. There was about as much passion between you and Devil Woman as a bloody rice cracker. I mean, they're very nice. But I don't want one in my vagina, and I'm absolutely sure that you don't either.

Wave: Remember that chick I was seeing on Friday? She was dating Erin *and* my ex.

Peyton: I don't even want to hear it. You said your eyes were wide open.

Wave: Yeah, well. I'm legally blind in my left eye, so thank you very much for your sensitivity.

Elena: Sometimes I think I just got married to rebel against my parents. My father's Indian. He's very old school. You know, stern but quiet hand. My mother's from Spain. She's very... Catholic.

Peyton: Now that's a lethal combination.

Elena: It is! It really is.

Elena: I don't know. Maybe some of us are not meant to have a soulmate like Tyler thinks.

Peyton: Well... I don't know about soulmates, but... Y'know, with Margaret... after that?

[faux southern accent]

Peyton: Frankly my dear, I don't care if I never see another lesbian for as long as I live... I'm not kidding.

Elena: How did you know you were gay?

Peyton: How'd you know you were straight?

Elena: I never even kissed a girl. With my upbringing, that never really occurred to me. I guess I'm just a square.

Peyton: Or maybe you're just straight.

Tori: A normal person engages in the pursuit of kissing a mere twenty-one thousand plus or minus minutes in their sorry little lives. Which boils down roughly to mere months. So, who cares whose kissing whom?

Elena: Really?

Tori: Really! I mean, over the lifespan of an average eighty-year-old, they're only having sex six times a year. I mean, we take more baths and we eat more chocolate bars, for gosh sakes!

Elena: [to Tori and Nash] You know, I think you two are what Tyler calls Twin Flames. I do! And you found each other so early in life!

Nash: Oh, ma, come on!

Elena: Think of all the time left you have to bicker, you two!

Wave: I think it's getting a little bit out of control, no? The unbuttoning of the shirt... What about all the eye blazing that goes on between you? I mean, come on. Who does that?

Peyton: Eye blazing? Seriously?

Wave: You're the writer, call it what you want.

Wave: You've got to grow some mini cajones, stat. You've gotta tell her what's going on.

Peyton: No... I can't.

Wave: Peyton, she's straight. And married. To a pastor! Not to mention she's culturally challenged. I mean, it's kind of twisted how much you've got going against you.

Peyton: I'm gonna make myself less available. Actually, unavailable.

Wave: Ohhhh. The I'm-too-busy-and-too-much-of-a-chicken-shit-to-tell-you-what's-really-going-on, fade-into-the-woodwork treatment.

Nash: You've had gay friends before. Back in your grand theater days.

Barry: Nash, I'm just saying I think people should know they should not be rewarded for bad behavior.

Nash: Bad behavior? Get real, Dad! Selling your soul is bad behavior. Loving someone isn't!

Peyton: I really like you. More than I should. So... we don't, you know, have to talk about it or anything. I mean, I'm fine with that. I just think that if we just... don't spend time...

Elena: No! No! No, god, Peyton. No! I don't want to not spend time!

Peyton: But, you just heard what I said...

Elena: Yes, but we... we need to be in each other's lives! I just found you! You're my absolute best friend. And I know we can get around this. I don't want to not be with you. And you can have *all* of me. All of it except for that. All of me.

Peyton: Okay, just so you know... 'that' is a big deal for a lesbian. I mean, at least in the beginning.

Elena: I just... Peyton, let's have some wine. Let's make a plan. Just please, please don't take you away from me.

Elena: [kissing Peyton] Are you afraid to be alone with me?

Peyton: [breathlessly] Yes.

Elena: Seriously?

Peyton: Seriously.

Tyler: What's with the shimmering new and improved you, huh?

Elena: Oh, Tyler... I'm in love. For the first time... for the only time in my life. I am in love!

Peyton: [after describing her passionate night with Elena] It is a good thing she is not a controlled substance.

Wave: Yeah. She's far more dangerous. What you are doing is the very definition of insanity. You slept with a gorgeous straight housewife, who's never had sex with a woman before. And she thinks she's died and gone to heaven. Now what?

Peyton: What happened to you telling me to do things that make me feel good?

Wave: Okay, I am trying to put my cynicism on one side.

Peyton: Good, 'cause I'd just like to stay in my happy place for a second more, if you don't mind.

Wave: Happy place? Yeah, you two walk off into the sunset, no dead bodies strewn behind...

Peyton: Are you done now?

Wave: Probably.

Peyton: That's great. Now I have this big fat foreclosure sign on my happy place.

Elena: He hasn't touched me since we've been together. You know that, right?

Peyton: Oh, my god. What was I thinking? Who can think? You know what? You're gonna have to do it eventually. You'll end up doing it, right?

Elena: It means *nothing*.

Peyton: No... You'll make *us* mean nothing.

Elena: I wasn't looking for this. God knows I don't really understand it. And I certainly didn't realize what was happening until it was too late.

Nash: You *are* going to tell Dad.

Elena: I certainly planned on telling him before you!

Peyton: You don't get it. I am... too far in.

Elena: I understand that you're scared... and all the reasons you don't trust. But don't you know by now, Peyton, this is what I want?

Elena: I feel like it's about to devastate everything I know. What am I doing? Look at all the people I'm hurting.

Tyler: You can't rewrite the past, but you can reframe the present. What a gift you have been given! I have never seen you so alive and joyous and in touch and full of passion! Peyton makes you breathe!

Barry: Maybe I am clueless, but I know one thing if I know nothing else. You are not a lesbian.

Elena: You're right, I'm not.

Barry: Don't get me started on how selfish this is. Nash needs us.

Elena: You're right, Nash needs us. He needs us. The *real* us. The *best* of us. My god, Barry, I'm done lying. To him, to you, to myself. This has nothing to do with Peyton. This is my decision about my son and my life. I should have been done with this charade years ago.

Barry: A charade? Are you serious? You got on this thing from the very start!

Elena: And *that* was selfish. Being here, and not really being inside it with you. I'm done with this Barry. And if it's selfish, so be it.

Barry: It *is* selfish.

Elena: Barry, I'm done with this.

Barry: Elena, I...

Elena: I'm done.

Elena: Make love to me.

Peyton: [caught off guard] What? I thought you wanted to wait.

Elena: Peyton... make love to me.

Peyton: I want to, Elena. I really... really want to. But you must know that once we go there... once we cross that line, there's no going back.

Elena: [after a pause] I don't want to go back.
