Rena Sofer: Eve Cleary

Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Eve Cleary : Peter, there you are. When you didn't come home last night I went to the hospital, I went to the Upstairs, I've been looking for you everywhere.

  Dr. Peter Burns : [drunk]  So you killed someone?

  [pause] 

  Dr. Peter Burns : Huh? Yes? No? Cat got your tounge? Aren't you going to ask who told me? Aren't you going to say that it's a lie and, "oh Peter, I could never lie to the man I'm married to."

  Eve Cleary : Peter, it was an accident, I swear. I was 18-years-old and I was in high school.

  Dr. Peter Burns : With Amanda. I know. Kyle told me all about it last night. Is there anything you didn't lie to me about? Is Eve even your real name?

  Eve Cleary : I was going to tell you. I wanted to tell you so many times but I was scared.

  Dr. Peter Burns : Of what? That I would leave you, or that I would not love you anymore?

  Eve Cleary : Yes.

  Dr. Peter Burns : Well, you're right!

• Dr. Peter Burns : Hey, look who's here! Amanda! Your old pal Amanda. How long have you two known each other? Forever? Eve spend some time in prison for you... 15 years to be exact. That she was convicted of murder. You can put your two cents into that.

  Eve Cleary : [to Amanda]  Kyle told him.

  Dr. Peter Burns : I guess that sliped your mind while you were playing matchmaker with me and Lizze Border over here!

  Amanda Woodward : This isn't fair. You don't know the whole story.

  Dr. Peter Burns : I don't need to know. Besides, who's fault is that?

  Amanda Woodward : Mine. I begged Eve not to tell you.

  Dr. Peter Burns : But you could tell Kyle. Right? On the day of our wedding. The best man gets honesty while the groom gets screwed. You know who warned me about you? Lexi. Isn't a little ironic that Lexi warned me, my wife lied to me, and that it's all trivial.

  Eve Cleary : Peter, don't do this to us.

  Dr. Peter Burns : Us? There is no more us! Only you and Amanda! You two deserve each other.

• Eve Cleary : Don't you understand? You're always butting into my life and I'm always paying the price. I don't need anymore of your bad advice!

  Amanda Woodward : Keeping your past a secret was a mutual decision.

  Eve Cleary : Mutual, as in you forced me and I had no choice but to go along with it like some idiot dog.

  Amanda Woodward : Everybody has a choice.

  Eve Cleary : You don't get it, do you Amanda? You don't give anyone a choice. It's either your way or no way. You runied my life and I am damn sure you will not do it again!
