Jill Quote #1077

Quote from Jill in Love's Labor Lost (Part 2)

Lillian: I felt exactly the same way when I went through menopause.
Jill: You did?
Lillian: Yes. I remember being around all those young women and seeing how all the men looked at them. And I felt like I couldn't turn a head if my hair was on fire.
Jill: Well...
Lillian: I thought because my body had changed, I was less of a woman.
Jill: And what did you do?
Lillian: Well, one day I sat down and looked in the mirror, and I took stock of myself. And I realized I had my looks, my health, my brains, four beautiful daughters. And the best part is no PMS.
Jill: Or periods.
Lillian: Or cramps.
Jill: That's true.

Quote from Jill

Jill: Well, you're gonna have to finish it without me because I have to work on my thesis.
Lillian: Oh, that'll solve everything. Then what are you gonna hide behind when you're done with that? Jill, honey, I know you weren't expecting to have a hysterectomy at your age. And I know it must be very hard. But you've got to stop taking your anger out on other people and deal with your loss.
Jill: I am dealing with my loss, Mom. This is the way I am dealing with my loss! I'm sorry! I am very angry! I hate this! I hate this! I hate this, this empty way I feel! I hate the way I look to myself now. I hate that doctor for doing this to me! I hate my body! I hate myself! I hate everybody and everything! Oh, God!
Lillian: Oh, honey, honey.
Jill: I just feel so old and useless.

Quote from Jill

Jill: You told him? I can't believe it! I'm so... Tim, if I had wanted my advisor to know about the hysterectomy, I would have told him. How could you do this to me?
Lillian: Well, honey, don't bite his head off...
Jill: Mother, please! I don't need him to get me an extension. I don't need Wilson to tell me about menopause on the Mayflower! I don't need Heidi flaunting her perfect boobs in my face! And I most especially don't need Al comparing me to his bearded aunt! God! [storms off]
Tim: Let the mood swings begin.

Quote from Tim

Jill: He took my ovaries?
Tim: He said there was no choice, honey.
Jill: Oh, God! I have cancer?
Tim: No, no, no, no. No, no. You have "twisted sisters."
Jill: What? What is that? What, you just mean twisted cysts?
Tim: Cysts, yes. And they're benign. So everything is good.
