Season 2 Celia.


Dear God after rewatching this season again I had forgotten how truly amazing she was in it!

Every line was briliantly delivered and there were TONS of them in season 2.

She played it as a person who was a bitch due to others treatment of her..a shield obviously and getting a husband who "had the body of a cadbury egg" and a daughter who was "the poster child for trans fat". Not exactly ideal haha.

Her best scene were when she met the huskaroo rep on the street while having the door shut on her and spouting *beep* immagrant" ater he campaign was ignored.

HUSKAROO REP: Your daughter is absolutely perfect.

CELIA: For what?

HUSKAROO REP: Modeling.

CELIA: Okay that's just cruel, come on Isabel step away from the crazy lady.

HUSKAROO REP: It's for the Huskaroo line.

CELIA: A what?

HUSKAROO REP: We're currently looking for models to show off our new line of plus sized clothes and she'd be perfect.

ISABLEL: Sounds awesome!

CELIA: Yeah, well keep your sweatpants on. My daughter is not modeling fat clothes.

HUSKAROO REP: They're just roomier!

She then makes this facial expression/reaction as if she were in physical pain by what she just heard lol it's amazing.


___________________________________________________________________


She seemed physically pained by stupidy in general though.

"So I pay my taxes so you can HAVE A KITCHEN?"

"Can you 2 take your pussy party somewhere else because we're trying to work here"

"Why are people so *beep* stupid!"

"You have no license!? Are you even legal WHAT'S YOUR NAME?"

"I'll call it the "Not Fine FINE" and keep on fining them until they couldn't afford the mortgage on their house!"

"I tried to to get my own thing. A light at the intersection. After I didn't get that thing I moved on to this thing. In the end I hope to get both things"

"Down Julie. I have cancer. I'm not retarded".

"No wonder your wife would rather *beep* a pole!"

And anytime Pam tagged along it was a million times better.

I love how Celia used her ignorance as a resource while acting like she were a burden to be around.

CELIA: No that's retarded.
PAM: That's not funny Celia my nephew is retarded and he has to wear a helmet.

PAM: Am I your campain manager?
CELIA {Laughs at the thought} NO.

CELIA: Pole dancing classes?
PAM: It's the new thing. Steve won't let me join. He's afraid I'd go lezbo on him again like I did with Folk Guitar.

Celia just blankely stares.

That Golden Globe win was well deserved.

My all time favorite favorite FAVORITE was actually in Season 1 when she tells Dean she slept with Conrad. She has a seriously awesome monologue in the atrium about their "dumbest *beep* house" and I loved it!

I agree she is the gift that keeps on giving in the series. She is the best character to me, acting wise and script wise, and I love her interactions with Doug.

That's why I love the scene with her at the council meeting demanding the light at the intersection.

Doug doesn't give a *beep* and her composure loosens with every sentence because he's pissing her off so much.

Doug: What is?

Celia: (Frustrated) The LIGHT.

Doug: Lights cost money Celia.

Celia: Yes well isnt that what the budget is for Doug?

Doug: All our money is allocated into the new renovation. We are getting a sweet kitchen back there.

Celia (Deperately staying calm) So I pay my taxes so YOU can have a KIIIITCHEN?


Amazing writing and acting.

reply

I agree with all of this. Her absence was definitely felt after she left. She and Doug both had the best lines.

To me her and Andy made this show. Celia was my fav character. She was extremely funny and could act in a dramatic way as well. When they did the whole mall shop and she started doing coke she was hilarious.
