Allison Janney: Bonnie Plunkett

Quotes 

• Violet : I think knowing the sex of the baby makes it too real.

  Bonnie : It's not real enough? You're already farting like a lumberjack.

• Christy : [Christy imagines their lives 15 years in the future if Violet and her baby live with them, she's 300 pounds]  Come on, Mom, we'll be late for our AA meeting.

  Bonnie : [rides out in a scooter chair on oxygen]  I don't wanna go! I want to get a quart of vodka, an eightball, take out my teeth and gum a couple sailors.

  Christy : I told you, ON your birthday.

• Violet : I don't want to be you.

  Bonnie : You're talking to her, right?

  Violet : I'm talking to BOTH of you.

  [to Bonnie] 

  Violet : You had her when you were my age.

  [to Christy] 

  Violet : You had me when you were my age. If I have this baby now, in 15 years I'll have wasted my life just like you.

  Christy : You think I wasted my life?

  Violet : Mom, you're 35, an ex-alcoholic and you're waiting tables.

  Christy : Well I happen to like my life, I like being sober and I love the relationship I have with my kids.

• Christy : Hey look, I'm making a flower tiara for Violet to wear at her baby shower.

  Bonnie : I just love it when you try to overcompensate for never being there for her as a kid.

• Violet : [about the crib]  It looks like a cage.

  Bonnie : It is.

  Christy : Mom!

  Bonnie : When your mom was an infant I kept her in a cat carrier.
