Debra Messing: Grace Adler

Quotes 

• [Grace has broken Will's mother's Lladro figurine, and is panicked that she knows. Marilyn is on her way up to their apartment, and Will wants her to just lie] 

  Will : Grace. What are you worried about? You didn't do anything. Right?

  Grace : Right.

  Will : Right. So anything she has to say about the fate of her figurine is new information, and should be met with shock. Let's try it. Um...

  [imitates his mother] 

  Will : Grace, my Lladro is broken!

  Grace : [immediately]  DEAR GOD, NO!

  Will : [pause]  Yeah, you're - you're *mildly* surprised, not being asked to give money to charity.

• [Grace broke Marilyn's Lladro figurine at a party and hid it under her couch] 

  Marilyn Truman : I have some very sad news, Will. Fiona was cleaning after the party yesterday -

  [starts crying] 

  Marilyn Truman : and she found Ouisan in pieces on the floor. Ouisan is dead, Will. She's dead!

  Grace : Ouisan? Well, she sounds like someone who was ready to go anyway.

  Marilyn Truman : She was a very rare Lladro figurine. And somebody broke her. Oh, I bet it was that Skippy Faber, the clumsy drunk. Grace, you were talking to her. Was she slurring?

  Grace : Uh, a little. But I really couldn't tell 'cause she was...

  [raises her arms stiffly] 

  Grace : stumbling around and waving her arms.

  Marilyn Truman : I knew it! I am going to wait until April and pour bleach on her roses.

  Will : Well, hey, that's something to look forward to.

  Marilyn Truman : I'm just going to splash some cold water on my face, and then I'll be going.

  [exits crying] 

  Will : [whispers to Grace]  This is perfect! This is what happens when you keep your mouth shut. Skippy Faber takes the fall!

  Grace : So, that's it? I just let Skippy hang for my crime?

  [considers] 

  Grace : Ah, she's German. We'll just call it even.
