Ainsley: As a serial killer.

Martin: No, as a white man, we're terrible.

---

Ainsley: Like what?

Jessica: His accomplice.

Q&A (1x07)

Jessica: I'm shocked. Truly.

Malcolm: Please enjoy your I told you so, but even you could not have foreseen this

Sophie: You don't get it. I know worse.

The Professionals (1x19)

Jessica: What is wrong with me? What is it about me that I attract these horrible men?

Jessica: I had a chance with a good man. I screwed it up.

Gil: We both did.

---

Jessica: Gil, we didn't miss our window. I slammed it shut.

Gil: You were right to. I met Jackie. Had a whole life. We moved on, Jess, no regrets.

Jessica: I have regrets. I do. I told you we were from different worlds.

Gil: We are.

Jessica: That's not why I ended things. I was scared. You were the one good thing in my son's life. I let you believe that you weren't good enough for me because it was easier than admitting that I would never be good enough for you.
