The following is a list of quotes by Violet Baudelaire.

Books[]

The Bad Beginning[]

  • "But he STRUCK my brother! Look at his face!" (to Mr. Poe)
  • "Let her go! She has done nothing to you! She is an INFANT! Please... She’s just a baby. We’ll do anything, anything, just don’t harm her."
  • "But we're not polygamists." (to Klaus mournfully, when he mentions that if they were polygamists, the marriage would be void)
  • "I'm not your countess." (to Count Olaf)

The Reptile Room[]

  • "Stop it! Don't talk like that!" (when "Stephano," tells the Baudelaires to "look at Monty's pale pale face" and "look at these staring eyes")

The Wide Window[]

  • "Don't give me that what. You've figured something out, that's what. I know you have. You were rereading Aunt Josephine's note for the umpteenth time, but you had an expression as if you had just figured something out. Now, what is it?" (to Klaus)
Violet Baudelaire: I don't have time to argue with you! I'm trying to save each of our lives! Give me your hairnet right now!
Josephine Anwhistle: The expression is saving all of our lives, not each of our lives.

The Miserable Mill[]

  • "I don't care if we're impolite to such a disgusting person as yourself." (to "Shirley")
  • "Shirley is not a receptionist! She's not even Shirley! She's Count Olaf!"

The Austere Academy[]

Violet Baudelaire, to Nero: We're not going to give Count Olaf a tip!
Klaus Baudelaire: Violet means Coach Genghis.
Violet Baudelaire: I DO NOT! Klaus, our situation is too desperate to pretend not to recognize him any longer!

The Ersatz Elevator[]

  • "Listen to us. We sound hopelessly spoiled. We're living in an enormous apartment. We each have our room. The doorman has promised to watch out for Count Olaf, and at least one of our new guardians is an interesting person. And yet we're standing here complaining." (to Klaus)
  • "Ugh! If I invented something as sloppily as this newspaper writes its stories, it would fall apart immediately." (about The Daily Punctilio)

The Carnivorous Carnival[]

  • "Why would people want to look at someone with birth defects? It sounds cruel. You'd think someone would put a stop to it, but you'd think somebody would put a stop to Count Olaf, too, and nobody does."

The Slippery Slope[]

  • "If everyone fought fire with fire the world would go up in smoke"

The Grim Grotto[]

  • "We're not your henchmen! We simply happen to be traveling together!" (to Count Olaf)

The End[]

Count Olaf: I'm a genius! I've solved all of our problems! Look!
Violet Baudelaire: Renaming the boat doesn't solve any of our problems.
  • "I won't throw away this ribbon. I'm still going to invent things, no matter what Ishmael says."
  • "You need a moral compass. The spores of the Medusoid Mycelium can kill within the hour. The entire colony could be poisoned, and even if you make it to shore, the fungus could spread to anyone you meet. You're not keeping anyone safe. You're endangering the whole world, just to keep a few of your secrets. That's not parenting! That's horrid and wrong!" (to Ishmael)
  • "Don't succumb to peer pressure." (begging Friday to take an apple to save her life)
  • "We are respecting our parents' wishes. They didn't want to shelter us from the world's treacheries. They wanted us to survive them." (to Ishmael)

Film[]

Film Trailer[]

  • "We're very concerned."

Film[]

  • "There's always something." (Violet's motto in the film)
  • "A spittoon? You mean like...? ...We'll wash it twice." (when Sunny gives Violet a spittoon)
  • "YOU MONSTER!" (to Count Olaf for slapping Klaus)
  • "Well, maybe they did have a plan. Do you remember when Mom and Dad went to Europe? We thought they'd abandoned us because they didn't even write. We found out they'd written a letter that got lost in the mail. Do you remember how guilty we felt for thinking bad thoughts about them? This is just like that."
Count Olaf: Children, I've been contemplating our situation and I realize that I've been a bit standoffish, shall we say? Which in this case is a big, big word meaning--
Violet Baudelaire: Pure evil.
  • "WE'RE GOING TO BE HIT BY A TRAIN!"
  • "No way!" (when the doorknob is about to shatter into a million tiny pieces and one of them may hit her eye)
  • "JUST HELP ME!" (sick of Klaus' questioning in a dire moment)
  • "No. They won't listen. They never listen." (when Klaus suggests going to the authorities)
Klaus Baudelaire: There's always something... There's always something!
Violet Baudelaire, sadly: Not this time.
  • "Hey, marriage is no picnic. Oh, and by the way, you're a terrible actor."
