Sean and Stefan say...

The Ugly Betty quote of the week is a little late this time but before the new episode airs here it is!

Once again Wilhelmina wins with two quotes!

"Oh, Balls!"

Her response to the opening of a safe containing the will of her heart attack suffering fiance Bradford Meade and finding the safe empty. The inflection Vanessa Williams gave here has had us saying it all week!

"You're ordained not magical."

Her terse retort to her assistant Marc St James throwing rice on a nurse and doctor walking by them at the hospital and yelling "I now pronounce you man and wife!" Marc was ordained as a licensed minister online so that Willy could quickly marry Bradford before he died of his heart attack.

Runner Up: Marc St James himself!  Willy worries that Bradford might have left all his money to charity in his will instead of her. Marc evilly muses...

"We need to find this girl Charity and kill her!"

Sean & Stefan say...

To many of our quote's of the week... well all of them... have been Ugly Betty quotes. So to stir up the competition more we are separating Ugly Betty from the rest and going to try and diversify. So what is this week's Ugly Betty quote of the week? "A Nice Day for A Posh Wedding" was great fun... but of course only one quote can win!

"Mama's weave can't be sweaty on her Big Day!"

Vanessa Williams' Wilhelmina Slater to bodyguard Dwayne (Williams' ex-husband and former NBA player Rick Fox) as he makes advances in bed while waking up on her wedding day at a fancy hotel.

Sean says...

Ugly Betty has become a major favorite in the McFreed household!  Yes yes yes, we bought the Season 1 dvd (surprised not! I am sure you are all saying).  Being the sassmaster that I am, I love the bitchiness and quotability of the show... and America Ferrara's natural and lovable acting quality. Stefan, to speak for him, loves the way the show presents how being good isn't always a sappy mess... and secretly he loves the sass! (smirk)

Ugly Betty Season 2 Promo

Instead of talking about the show I thought in honor of the Season 2 premier tonight we would follow Entertainment Weekly's lead and list 15 quotes we love! Here we go in no particular order! Some of the quotes will seem out of context since the scenes set up the quote of course but we couldn't pass this up!

Ugly Betty

1. ''Did you just gesture at me when you said Kwanzaa?" Wilhelmina Slater (Vanessa Williams)

2. ''Okay, girls. Tuck 'em back in. You're both big.'' Wilhelmina Slater breaking up an argument between Daniel Meade (Eric Mabius) and his transexual back-from-the-dead brother now sister Alexis (Alex) Meade (Rebecca Romijn)

3. ''Stop fondling my limes and do something!'' Wilhelmina Slater to her assistant Marc [Weiner] St James (Michael Urie) after he spends an inordinate amount of time fixing her a daytime cocktail instead of helping her plot and scheme.

Ugly Betty - Best Amanda Moments

4. "Are you the before?" Receptionist Amanda Tanen (Becki Newton) to Betty Suarez (America Ferrera) when she enters the office on her first day at Mode Magazine.

5. "I want a career I can be proud of, and a door I can close when I wanna take a nap!" Amanda to Marc commenting about wanting to replace Alexis' new male assistant Nick Pepper (Max Greenfield).

6. Fabia: "You must come to the ceremony. I won't be able to get married without my something old." Wilhelmina: "Oh, with the veins in your legs, you already have your something blue." An exchange between arch-rivals Fabia (Gina Gerhson) and Wilhelmina as they conduct Wedding Summit 2007 to decide who gets St. Patrick's Cathedral.

Duck Sauce

7. "I'm a few years away from having a duck quack off on my face." Wilhelmina to Fabia after Fabia recommends a Chinatown doctor who injects duck semen into your face to smooth out crow's feet.

8. Wilhelmina: "Kiss your loved ones goodbye and expect to come home to dead pets!"
Marc: "Schmoopy?!"  Scene were Wilhelmina announces that people will be staying late to work on the Xmas spread rewrite because it was stolen...followed by Marc's private reaction.

9. "I'll say 'boobs' again!" Betty threatening her boss Daniel impishly during a long friendly evening of avoiding the paparazzi, eating pizza, and singing karaoke after he asked her never to say that word to him.

10. "That's it! Who put the bunny in the toilet? This is not funny! Who thinks this is funny? (people raise their hands) Oh, really? Well whoever is doing this, if you think you can break me that easily, you're wrong! You can take my bunny, but you can't take my spirit!" Betty sticks up for herself after a pink bunny with a college graduation theme is kidnapped and tortured throughout the show via polaroids to her.  The true moment where Betty really made me route for her the rest of the season.

11. “Oh it’s about to get nerd nasty!” Amanda commenting on Henry Grubstick (Christopher Gorham) and Nick Pepper fighting at the medieval restaurant after Nick threw something that hit Betty and knocked her off a mechanical bull.

12. Amanda: “And now my special place is ruined!” Christina: “Oh please! Your special place was ruined years ago.” Exchange after Mode seamstress Christina McKinney (Ashley Jensen) catches Amanda sneaking out of Faye's (former and dead editor of Mode Magazine) secret dungeon. Marc and Amanda had found it and were hoping to keep it to themselves.

Seeing-Eye Gay - Ugly Betty 1.14

13. "You will be at my side at all times. You will be my seeing-eye gay."  Wilhelmina to Marc when she tells him she needs him to lead her around fashion show after her eyes becomes swollen from cosmetic surgery.

14. "Dork-es Interruptus!" Amanda after finding Betty and Henry almost kissing in the copy room at Mode.

15. "Were you saying something? Your mouth was moving and you were looking at me, but all I heard was 'blah blah blah." Amanda to Betty... a quote we all want to say too someone I bet!

Ugly Betty - Willie & Marc "Hit me like a man you pansy"

Honorable Mentions:

1. "Hit me like a man you pansy!" Wilhelmina to Marc as she plots to have Marc bruise her up to convince Bradford Meade that his wife Claire Meade (Judith Light) had a hit put out on her from prison. Objective: to have Bradford divorce Claire. Result: Wilhelmina gets accidently pushed down the stairs and bruised badly... but Bradford agrees to divorce Claire as a result.

2. "Kids under 12 eat free on Sundays." Amanda in her television commercial as the main wench for the medieval themed restaraunt. Delivered in a deadpanned American accent after beginning the commercial with a British one.

UPDATE SEASON 2!!!

Wilhelmina: ''N! I don't have the energy to say 'no' anymore!'' I see this starting a trend!
