June: Aunt Lydia, can I be honest with you?
Aunt Lydia: Of course, dear.
June: The reason I was talking with Janine yesterday was because I was worried. Mrs. Waterford said I have to leave the house as soon as the baby comes.
Aunt Lydia: That is her prerogative, of course. Whatever the mother feels is right for the baby.
June: I want that as well.
Aunt Lydia: Good.
June: You know that this can be a difficult house. Children need to be in a safe place.
Aunt Lydia: I know what children need.

The Handmaid's Tale Season 2 Episode 9 Quotes

Serena Joy: Offred, I've given it some thought, and you'll be leaving the house as soon as the baby is born.
June: No. Handmaid's stay until the baby is weaned.
Serena Joy: I think we've all had more than enough of one another, don't you?
June: [shakes her head no while saying] Yes, Mrs. Waterford.
