The Danielle Dupree Appreciation Space (Dani, KaMo)

[Contessa Donatella]

We are now at Week 3 & it has become apparent that there's no room for Friends of Danielle Dupree or FODD, pronounced fahd. As I am def FODD I thought now would be a good time to make this space. If you'd suggested to me on Week 1 that this would be a Minority Rapport, I'd have laughed right in your face. But this is writ loud & large. So be it.

From First Lines by Alan

Dani: "Morning, Vanessa."

Vanessa: "Well so much for, 'Stop by for a cup of coffee.'"

Chelsea: "Hey mom, what's up?"

Other Dani related lines

Dani to Hayley: "The fairy tell never tells you how Prince Charming can become a real son-of-a-b!tch, once that ring goes on your finger."

"Who are you? What have you done with Dani? You've picked a heckuva time to start worrying about what other people think!" - Vanessa, BTG, S1E1, 2-24-25

"I'll be healthy again as soon as a couple of cheaters pay." - Dani, BTG, S1E1, 2-25-25

"One of the things I have learned from my patients: People are born who they are. Outside influence either takes or it doesn't. Dani is exactly herself: A force of nature with no apologies." - Nicole, BTG, S1E1 2-24-25

"You need to remember who you are - a Dupree woman - we never give our power away, to anyone. Tap into that legacy. Find your inner strength & stop letting those losers get the best of you." - Anita to Dani, BTG, S1E1, 2-24-25

"Some people deserve to get a punch in the face." - Martin, BTG, S1E2, 2-25-25

"Nothing to be proud of. I hated seeing my daughter pushed to the point where she would think that hitting someone was the appropriate action. Physical violence is never the answer." - Vernon, BTG, S1E2, 2-25-25

"That's the advantage of a big heart. There's room for lots of types." - Andre, BTG, S1E5, 2-28-25

"I am out of the mortifying Dani business." - Dani, BTG, S1E2, 2-25-25

"I don't yell." - Anita "You don't have to. Your tone tells it all." - Dani, BTG, S1E2, 2-25-25

"I don't ordinarily condone violence. But, at times, people deserve a sucker punch. … Try not to make a habit of it." - Anita to Dani, BTG, S1E2, 2-25-25

"Honey, I wasn't just a star - I was a meteor." - Dani, BTG, S1E5, 2-28-25

"You know what they say: the past is prologue." - Dani to Hayley, BTG, S1E3, 2-26-25

"What did I do to deserve this level of disregard from a man I spent most of my life catering to?" - Dani, BTG, S1E2, 2-25-25

Pamela, Cady, Dani's BFF:

Fri. Feb. 28 dialogue when Cady's character Pamela arrived at the wedding:

Dani: I didn’t think you would make it.

Pamela: I cut my trip short. You’re my best friend. There’s no way I’d let you face this night without being here in full support.

(At the bar after the wedding, Dani has just ordered a drink, and Pamela arrives.)

Dani: Pamela, if you're here to criticize my behavior or tell me how ridiculous I looked...

Pamela:  I said that I would be here for you today, and *I* dropped the ball.   I should have been a better friend. I should have stopped you before things got out of control. But I am here now.   So put me in, Coach.  Need me to run interference, slash a tire, burn a bridge? I'm your ride-or-die.

(Dani's phone is vibrating while Pamela is speaking.)

Dani: Okay.

 

Pamela:  And if you need me to, uh, pretend that the bar isn't vibrating from all the texts you're getting, I can do that, too. 

(Dani reads her text.)

Pamela: What can do, Dani?

(Dani asks Pamela to pay for the drink that Dani had ordered but not yet received, because Dani has to leave now to face the Duprees.)

(Dani and Pamela hug.)

Pamela: Well, good luck. 

Dani: Love you.

Pamela: Love you back.

"You're a Dupree, as your family likes to remind everyone at the drop of a hat." - Bill to Dani, BTG S1E5

I'm in love with this, whatever it is, that Dani is wearing in this classic scene. Is it a coat? Is it an overdress? Is it a dress? I don't know what it is but I love it. I thought I would be all about the 27 sets but instead I'm about Wardrobe & the legendary Jeresa Featherstone.

"You are wrong about one thing. You are always a Dupree." - Anita to Dani, BTG, S1E10 

[Contessa Donatella]

"Since she's never announced her bad behavior in advance." - Anita, BTG, S1E10
"I will remember that for next time." - Dani, hearing Anita as she enters the room, BTG, S1E10
"I realize that none of this was fair to any of you. I put you all in an impossible situation & still you backed me up. Nicole was clinical. Daddy was kind. Mother was matter of fact. Chelsea was blunt. Naomi was funny. You all said it. And, still I couldn't hear it; I couldn't feel it; until today. My marriage is dead & I am finally ready to bury it. It's really, finally, absolutely over." - Dani, BTG, S1E10

And, to illustrate how important Wardrobe is on this, our new favorite soap, Dani's handgun seems to match & complement her attire. That's not something you see every day. (Trying to make this picture part of appreciation rather than criticism.) I love looking at the facial expressions in this scene.

Girl knows how to shoot in style.
