Part 1 of the Real Housewives of Orange County Season 7 reunion was as contentious and bitter as we expected it to be, and the girls threw out a lot of quotable nuggets. Here are our 15 favorites!

Mincing Words
Heather: I said you weren’t that cerebral …
Alexis: I never said you’re pretentious, I said you were stuffy.

Grown-Up Conversations
Heather (to Alexis, about bringing up the home-buying issue): I’m sorry I can’t talk about shoes and handbags for three days.

Plump Lips, Bitter Tongues
Tamra (to Andy Cohen): Listen, I’ve had this mouth my entire life. It’s gotten me into a lot of trouble. It is who I am.

Once Frenemies, Now Friends
Tamra (on playing nice with Gretchen): After last year’s reunion, I just felt like we were fighting just for the sake of fighting, and things were just getting so out of hand and there was just this vicious circle of nonsense.

One at a Time
Vicki (on the dissolution of her friendship with Tamra): I feel like if she didn’t have Gretchen’s friendship right now we would still be dear friends.

Boys Play Nice
Vicki (on estranged husband Donn): Him and Brooks handled each other better than I handled his girlfriend. I about ripped her eyeballs out of her head.

“Hypocrite”
Vicki (to Gretchen): If people wanna call me a hypocrite that’s fine, all I do know is Donn and I didn’t like each other during the last year of our marriage… so was it more enjoyable to be with the girls? Yeah.

When Birds Attack!
Heather (about a bird flying onto the stage): This gives a whole new meaning to the word “tweet.”

Poor Turn of Phrase
Vicki (to Tamra, about Gretchen not warning Alexis about Costa Rica): I would never want everyone to gangbang you.

Be Nice to the Crew
Heather (to Alexis): Truthfully, it’s about the way you treat people… I know I’m not Angelina Jolie, but I’ve been working for many years, and I have never seen somebody treat a crew the way you do … Don’t shake your head no at me. Take this as a moment to look inside yourself and see that if everyone says you’re dead, it’s time to lie down.

“Jesus Juggs”
Tamra (to Alexis): You are psychotic Jesus Juggs!

Hitting Below the Husband’s Belt
Tamra (to Alexis, about hubby Jim Bellino): Nobody likes him.

… NOT
Tamra (to Alexis, about not getting to join her and Vicki on the “private plane”): Oh we’re so jealous!

For Real This Time
Gretchen (to Alexis): Honest to God, Alexis, please listen to me. I care about you. I don’t like going out in public and hearing nasty things about you… Here’s the difference. I come to you and say, “Lex you’re giving off this perception”… I love you enough to jeopardize the friendship to tell you the truth.
