Quotes 

• Mrs. Castillo : You were arrested for inciting to riot, if I recall.

  Serena Joy Waterford : I had a temper in those days.

  Mrs. Castillo : Back then, did you ever imagine a society like this?

  Serena Joy Waterford : A society that has reduced its carbon emissions by 78 percent in 3 years.

  Mrs. Castillo : A society in which women can no longer read your book. Or anything else.

  Serena Joy Waterford : No. I didn't. God asks for sacrifices, Mrs. Castillo, that has always been His way, but He gives the righteous blessings in return, and I think that it's safe to say Gilead has been blessed in so many ways.

• Mrs. Castillo : I... can't help you.

  June Osborne : What're you gonna trade us for? Hm? What? Fucking chocolate? We're human beings. How can you do that? How? How?

  Mrs. Castillo : I am from Xipica, Miss Offred. It is nice city; maybe the size of Boston. There hasn't been a child born, alive, in Xipica in six years. My country is dying.

  June Osborne : [shakes head]  My country's already dead.

• Mrs. Castillo : May I ask - and I apologize if this is too personal - but you have chosen such a difficult life. Are you happy?

  June Osborne : [after a long pause]  I have found... happiness.
