& Tad: Yeah, no, I really dig the analog style. Uh, which brings me to the fact you guys are hard to find. Why no social media presence?
    Reece: That’s because booking more shows, selling more records would blow.
    Tiger: It’s not hard rock.

& Pat: No one wants to starve, but... when you take it all virtual, you lose... the texture.
    Tad: What do you mean «texture»?
    Pat: Just... you gotta be there. The music is for effect. It’s time and aggression...
    Reece: Technical wizardry.
    Pat: And it’s shared live... and then it’s over. The energy can’t last.
    Sam: Unless you’re Iggy Pop.

& Tad: And, um, just so you know, it’s mostly boots and braces down there.
    Reece: Skins? There’s some at every show.
    Pat: What? D.M.S.? Sharp?
    Tad: Uh, right-wing, or technically ultra-left, but not affiliated.

& Big Justin: They’re called cartridges. The bullet is the part that enters your brain if you keep talking shit.

& Amber: Smoke this.
    Big Justin: Deal.

    Pat: Any of them women?
    Amber: It’s a problem where I grew up.

Demolition

& Phil: It’s a father’s love. A man loses his wife, he’s a widower. A child loses a parent, they’re an orphan. But losing a child... There’s no word for this. And there shouldn’t be.

& Davis: I’m starting to notice things I never saw before. Well... Maybe I saw them. I just wasn’t paying attention. For some reason, everything has become a metaphor. Metaphor...

& Davis: I wouldn’t say I’m handy by any means. Mechanically retarded would be closer to the truth.

& Karen: I don’t have a sock drawer.
    Davis: Well... where do you keep all your socks?
    Karen: In the same drawer as my underwear. What?
    Davis: I just... You know, I just think a woman’s underwear is deserving of its own space.

& Davis: You say «fuck» a lot.
    Chris: So?
    Davis: So you’re just not using it properly.
    Chris: The fuck does that mean?
    Davis: That’s what I mean. «Fuck» is a great word, but if you use it too much, then it just loses its value. And you sound stupid.
    Chris: Fuck you.
    Davis: Exactly. I feel nothing, and you sound like an idiot.

& Ray: Oh, that beauty arrived in 1961. From Paris. You should’ve seen ’er. A real masterpiece. Look at that, huh? Ain’t that a beauty? But nobody wants carousels anymore. They want roller coasters that go upside down and make you puke.

& Rodrigo: El Guapo?! El Guapo!?
    Beppi: Why? You don’t think you are handsome?

& Rodrigo: Hey! Cynthia. I thought you were dead.

& Mayor: «To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow.» Do you know who said that?.. Audrey Hepburn. So there’s your seeds, your fertilizer, and some tasteful German shrubs to frame the blooms, and no talking about the lock out. Dig your hands in, and make something that grows together.

& Mayor: I’ve stopped a lot of fighting in this garden. That bush, the teacher’s strike. The cedar, the firemen. Those daisies... The garbage men.

Westworld 1×3

& Bernard Lowe: I brought you a gift...

& Dolores: «Dear, dear, how queer everything is today. And yesterday, things went on just as usual. I wonder if I’ve been changed in the night.»
    Bernard Lowe: Does that passage make you think of anything?

& Dolores: It’s about change. Seems to be a common theme.
    Bernard Lowe: I guess people like to read about the things that they want the most and experience the least.

& Bernard Lowe: Analysis. Why did you ask me about my son?
    Dolores: We’ve been talking for some duration and I haven’t asked you a personal question. Personal questions are an ingratiating scheme.

& Dolores: «Was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I’m not the same, the next question is... who in the world am I?»

& Walter: ’I need more milk, Arnold.’
    Elsie Hughes: Who’s Arnold?

& Elsie Hughes: You know, if you wanted to play cowboy, you could’ve just used your employee discount...
    Ashley Stubbs: The only thing stopping the hosts from hacking us to pieces is one line of your code.

& Dolores: You said someday. Not today or tomorrow or next week. Just someday. «Someday» sounds a lot like the thing people say when they actually mean «never.»

& Dr. Ford: «The coward dies a thousand deaths. The valiant taste of death but once.» Of course, Shakespeare never met a man quite like you, Teddy. You’ve died at least a thousand times. And yet, it doesn’t dull your courage.

& Dr. Ford: Would you like that, Teddy? A small part of my new narrative? A fiction which, like all great stories, is rooted in truth? It starts in a time of war...

& Teddy: Now squeeze.
    Dolores: .... I can’t.
    Teddy: Some hands weren’t meant to pull a trigger.

& Guest: I didn’t sign up for this crazy shit! I told you we should’ve done the riverboat thing, man!

& Ashley Stubbs: Keep staring. Maybe it’ll tell you your horoscope.
    Elsie Hughes: Come again?
    Ashley Stubbs: The markings on its shell. Look like stars. Orion, right?
    Elsie Hughes: What, are you Gali-fucking-leo?
    Ashley Stubbs: Maybe it’s in my backstory...

& Dr. Ford: For three years, we lived here in the park, refining the hosts before a single guest set foot inside. Myself, a team of engineers, and my partner...

& Dr. Ford: When the legend becomes fact, you print the legend.

& Dr. Ford: Our hosts began to pass the Turing test after the first year. But that wasn’t enough for Arnold. He wasn’t interested in the appearance of intellect or wit. He wanted the real thing. He wanted to create consciousness.

& Dr. Ford: He imagined it as a pyramid. See? Memory, improvisation, self-interest...
    Bernard Lowe: And at the top?
    Dr. Ford: Never got there. But he had a notion of what it might be.

& Dr. Ford: He based it on a theory of consciousness called the Bicameral Mind. The idea that primitive man believed his thoughts to be the voice of the gods.
    Bernard Lowe: I thought it was debunked.
    Dr. Ford: As a theory for understanding the human mind, perhaps, but not as a blueprint for building an artificial one.

& Dr. Ford: But Arnold hadn't considered two things. One, that in this place, the last thing you want the hosts to be is conscious, and two, the other group who considered their thoughts to be the voices of the gods...
    Bernard Lowe: Lunatics.
    Dr. Ford: Indeed.

& Dr. Ford: Oh, Bernard? Just don't forget... the hosts are not real. They're not conscious. You mustn't make Arnold's mistake.

Oh, these talks. I don't know if they help or hurt. Do you ever wish you could forget?
    Bernard Lowe: This pain... it's all I have left of him.

& Bernard Lowe: Imagine there are two versions of yourself... one that feels these things and asks these questions, and one that's safe. Which would you rather be?

& Dolores: There aren't two versions of me. There's only one. And I think when I discover who I am, I'll be free.
    Bernard Lowe: Analysis. What prompted that response?

& Dolores: Have I done something wrong? Made a mistake?
    Bernard Lowe: Evolution... forged the entirety of sentient life on this planet using only one tool... the mistake. It appears you're in good company.

& Dolores: Do you still want to change me back?
    Bernard Lowe: No, Dolores. Let's see where this path leads. And you won't tell anyone about our conversations?
    Dolores: No.
    Bernard Lowe: And you'll stay on your loop?
    Dolores: ... Yes.

& Deputy: But, miss, in truth, if there is a merciful god, those men are dead already.

& Man in Black: Why don't we reacquaint ourselves, Dolores Start at the beginning.

& Ashley Stubbs: You might want to look at the stars for this part...

& Logan: I can't believe I let you talk me into this shit. $40K a day to jerk off alone in the woods, playing white hat.

Westworld 1×2

& Peter Abernathy: Wake up, Dolores. Do you remember?

& Angela: You must be William. Welcome to Westworld.

& Angela: Any history of mental illness, depression, panic attacks?
    William: Just a little fear of clowns... I’m joking.

& William: I thought that you couldn’t get hurt here...
    Angela: Only the right amount.

& Angela: You start in the center of the park. It’s simple, safe. The further out you venture, the more intense the experience gets. How far you want to go is entirely up to you.

& Angela: No orientation, no guidebook. Figuring out how it works is half the fun. All you do is make choices... starting here.

& William: Are you real?
    Angela: Well, if you can’t tell, does it matter?

& William: What do most people do?
    Angela: You don’t have to worry about what most people would do.
    William: I understand.
    Angela: Do you really understand, William?

& Peter Abernathy: Remember.

& Dolores: These violent delights have violent ends.

& Logan: I know that you think you have a handle on what this is gonna be. Guns and tits and all that. Mindless shit that I usually enjoy. You have no idea...

& Logan: By the end, you’re gonna be begging me to stay because this place is the answer to that question that you’ve been asking yourself.
    William: What question?
    Logan: Who you really are. And I can’t fucking wait to meet that guy. Bottoms up, cowboy.

& Man in Black: It’s the maze, the deepest level of this game. You’re gonna help me find the entrance.

& Maeve: «This is the new world. And in this world, you can be whoever the fuck you want.»

---

& Bernard Lowe: You taught me how to make them, but not how hard it is to turn them off.
    Dr. Ford: You can’t play God without being acquainted with the devil.

& Bernard Lowe: ...It’s the simplest solution.
    Dr. Ford: Ah, Mr. Occam’s razor. The problem, Bernard, is that what you and I do is so complicated. We practice witchcraft. We speak the right words. Then we create life itself... out of chaos... William of Occam was a 13th century monk. He can’t help us now, Bernard. He would have us burned at the stake.

& Bernard Lowe: Step into analysis, please. How many interactions have you participated in since we last talked?.
    Dolores: 138 encounters including this one.
    Bernard Lowe: And has anyone altered or updated your core heuristics in that time?

& Logan: See, this is your problem, my friend. You’re always worried about making a mess. You are the same way at work. You are talented, driven... and inoffensive.

& Clementine: I understand. Real love is always worth waiting for.

& Little Boy: It’s boring. Daddy said we could do as we please.
    Dr. Ford: Ah, my father used to say that only boring people get bored.
    Little Boy: Mine, too.
    Dr. Ford: I used to think it’s only boring people who don’t feel boredom, so cannot conceive of it in others.

& Man in Black: That’s what I love about this place... all the secrets, all the little things I never noticed even after all these years. You know why this beats the real world, Lawrence? Real world is just chaos. It’s an accident. But in here, every detail adds up to something.

& Man in Black: The maze. How do I find the entrance?

& Man in Black: What’d I tell you, Lawrence? Always another level.

& Lawrence’s Daughter: Follow the blood arroyo to the place where the snake lays its eggs.

& Dr. Ford: Everything in this world is magic, except to the magician.

& Theresa: ...ironically, your creations never shut up. They’re always talking to each other, even when there are no guests around.
    Bernard Lowe: They’re always trying to error correct. Make themselves more human. When they talk to each other, it’s a way of practicing.

& Behavior Tech: Do they dream?
    Elsie King: What?
    Behavior Tech: In her story, she said she dreamed. Do we make them dream?
    Elsie King: Fuck would be the point of that?! Dreams are mainly memories. Can you imagine how fucked we’d be if these poor assholes ever remembered what the guests do to them?

& Elsie King: All right, gorgeous, you’re back to the races. You’re gonna wake in three, two, one.

& Dr. Ford: The only thing wrong with the seven deadly sins is that there aren’t more of them. It’s not about giving the guests what you think they want. No, that’s simple. The titillation, horror, elation... They’re parlor tricks.
    The guests don’t return for the obvious things we do, the garish things. They come back because of the subtleties, the details. They come back because they discover something they imagine no on had ever noticed before... something they’ve fallen in love with.
    They’re not looking for a story that tells them who they are. They already know who they are. They’re here because they want a glimpse of who they could be.

& Dr. Ford: The only thing your story tells me, Mr. Sizemore, is who you are.
    Lee Sizemore: Well, isn’t there anything you like about it?
    Dr. Ford: ... What size are those boots?

& Bernard Lowe: The board, sir... You promised them a new storyline.
    Dr. Ford: They shall have one. Something I’ve been working on for some time... Something quite original.

grosslarnakh:

  «Из последнего просмотренного лайк смешному сериалу „Флибег“ (Fleabag). Телочку разрывают внутренние противоречия, о которых она очень искренне рассказывает. Современные тридцатилетки, тщательно скрываемый внутренний мир, безрассудные поступки и беспорядочный секс, необходимость выглядеть снаружи приличной, вот это вот все.
    Бывают фильмы, в которых герой время от времени обращается к зрителю; обычно этот прием приготовлен чудовищно плохо, а тут его очень много, но при этом все уместно и не пересолено.»

& Fleabag: ’The only thing harder than having to tell your super-high-powered, perfect, anorexic, rich super-sister that you’ve run out of money is having to ask her to bail you out... I’m just going to ask her. I’m just going to ask her. I’m just going to ask her. I’m just going to come...’

& Dave: So what do you think is wrong with him, then?
    Riaz: Well, if you ask me, it all goes back to when he first moved to Sparkhill...
    Mr. Khan: The year was 1989, when Band Aid were top of the Christmas charts again. A flight to Pakistan cost only £149. £199 if you wanted an actual seat.
    Narrator: And the world was Mr Khan’s oyster.

& Dave: We’ve got a cross-faith committee led by a rabbi, a priest and an imam.
    Mr. Khan: Is this some kind of joke?

& Mr. Khan: What’s a rabbi doing here?! We don’t have anything in common with these people, Dave. Apart from... snippy-snipping.

& Reporter: If Superman were here right now, what would you want to say to him?

& Bruce Wayne: Maybe it’s the Gotham city in me... We just have a bad history with freaks dressed like clowns.

& Mom: I never wanted this world to have you. Be their hero, Clark. Be their monument. Be their angel. Be anything they need you to be. Or be none of it. You don’t owe this world a thing. You never did.

    See, what we call God depends upon our tribe, Clark-Joe. Because God is tribal. God takes sides. ... I figured out ..., if God is all-powerful, he cannot be all-good. And if he is all-good, then he cannot be all-powerful. And neither can you be.

& Lex Luthor: And now you will fly to him. And you will battle him. To the death. Black and blue. Fight night! The greatest gladiator match in the history of the world. God versus man. Day versus night. Son of Krypton versus Bat of Gotham.

& Lex Luthor: ...And now God bends to my will.

    Dr. Ford: Indeed it is. But, of course, we’ve managed to slip evolution’s leash now, haven’t we? We can cure any disease, keep even the weakest of us alive, and, you know, one fine day perhaps we shall even resurrect the dead. Call forth Lazarus from his cave...
    Do you know what that means?.. It means that we’re done. That this is as good as we’re going to get.
    It also means that you must indulge me the occasional mistake.

& Peter Abernathy: I had a question. A question you’re not supposed to ask. Which gave me an answer... you’re not supposed to know.

& Peter Abernathy: Would you like to know... the question?

& Peter Abernathy: Don’t you see? Hell is empty and all the devils are here.

& Maeve: You’re a low-down son of a bitch.
    Hector: I know. I know we both believe the same thing. No matter how dirty the business... do it well.

& Hector: Problem with the righteous... They can’t shoot for shit.
    Armistice: Making a hell of a racket, though.

& Elsie King: Soon this will all feel like a distant dream. Until then, may you rest in a deep and dreamless slumber.

& Stubbs: Bring her back online... Cognition only. No emotional affect.

& Dr. Ford: Tell me, what happened to your program?
    Peter Abernathy: «When we are born, we cry we are come to this great stage of f-f-fools.»

& Peter Abernathy: I-I have to warn her.
    Dr. Ford: Warn who?
    Peter Abernathy: Dolores. The things they do to her. The things you do to her.

& Dr. Ford: What is your name?
    Peter Abernathy: Rose is a rose... is a rose.
    Dr. Ford: What is your itinerary?
    Peter Abernathy: To meet my maker...
    Dr. Ford: Uh-huh. Well, you’re in luck. And what do you want to say to your maker?
    Peter Abernathy: By most mechanical and dirty hand... I shall have such revenges on you... both. The things I will do. What they are, yet I know not, but they will be the terrors of the earth. You don’t know where you are, do you? You’re in a prison of your own sins.

& Dolores: He said, «These violent delights have violent ends.»

& Stubbs: ...good old Dolores. You know why she’s special? She’s been repaired so many times, she’s practically brand-new. Don’t let that fool you. She’s the oldest host in the park.

& Stubbs: Come on, sweetheart. Tell us what you think of your world.
    Dolores: This world? ....

& Dolores: I choose to see the beauty. To believe there is an order to our days... a purpose. I know things will work out the way they’re meant to.

La Fiamma

Mozart in the Jungle 3×1

& Beppi: Are you jet lagged?
    Rodrigo: No jet lag.
    Beppi: Ah, the mark of a good conscience.

& Beppi: May I present to you a couple of tiny items of advice?..
Most of the gondoliers are thieves and rogues. If you must take a ride on a gondola, I beg you, negotiate the price first...
    Second, if you are ordering a pasta dish with seafood or lovely shrimps or clams or cuttle fish, which I adore, do not, I repeat, do not ask for parmigiano cheese to put on the pasta. This is not done. It will insult the chef.

& Rodrigo: Fornicate. No fornicate.

& Rodrigo: You know, right now I’m in the mood for no home. You know? Vagabond style.
    Alessandra: But you should try owning a 600 year old house in Venice. Everything is sinking. The first floor is flooded half the time, the mold makes you sneeze, but this is my hometown, and I love it.

& Alessandra: Would you care for some parmigiano?

<< Ранее

&  Страх, кузен Вингфилд, – отец жестокости.

&  – Бог? Нет никакого бога! Было время, когда я усомнилась в богах своего народа и обратилась к твоему божеству. Но сейчас я отвергаю и проклинаю его! Если бы был милосердный бог, о котором ты говорил мне, разве бы он допустил подобное? Ты единственный мой бог, и только тебе я поклоняюсь, Нечего взывать к тому, чего нет! А если что-то и есть, то все равно никто не услышит наши жалобы и не увидит наши страдания. Поэтому будем надеяться только на себя.

&  Глупец! Я забыл, что предательство делает возможным все.

&  Если бог милосерд, почему же он терпит злодеяния, при виде которых разрывается даже сердце грешного человека? Почему?

---

&  Люди белой расы были бы на седьмом небе от счастья, потому что, когда грозит смерть, все другие потери кажутся нам ничтожными. Другое дело – индейцы. Когда удача отворачивается от них, они перестают дорожить жизнью.

&  Мы слишком много говорим о горестях нашей юности. Если наша любимая покидает нас, мы оглашаем весь свет рыданиями и клянемся, что жизнь нам теперь не в жизнь. Но только склоняясь в отчаянии над бездыханным телом своего ребенка, мы впервые познаем настоящее, страшное горе. Говорят, что время залечивает все раны. Это ложь. Такое горе время не в силах изгладить. Я стар, и я это знаю.

&  Хорошо, что мертвые не видят живых!

  ... Да славится имя его и ныне, и присно, я во веки веков!
      Аминь!”

Генри Р. Хаггард — Дочь Монтесумы (3/4)

<< Ранее

&  Сначала дело, а потом отдых; сначала горе, и лишь потом – радость.

&  А теперь я спрашиваю себя, что в конечном счете хуже – приносить людей в жертву богам или пытать их в подземельях инквизиции и замуровывать заживо в стенах монастырей? Пожалуй, последнее более жестоко.

&  Истинное счастье – лишь сон, от которого мы пробуждаемся ежечасно для горестей нашей короткой и многотрудной жизни.

&  – О теуль, не думай о кратком миге ужаса! Думай о том, что грядет за ним. Неужели смерть, даже мгновенная, так страшна? Мы все умрем: этой ночью, завтра или послезавтра – неважно когда, а твоя вера, как наша, учит, что за гробом нас ожидает бесконечная благодать. Подумай об этом, друг мой! Завтра ты избавишься от всех тревог и суеты; борьба, страдание, страх перед будущим, отравляющий душу, – все останется позади, и ты обретешь покой, которого уже никто никогда не нарушит...

---

     Тебе придется пройти по темной дороге, но зато она хорошо проторена и в конце ее сияет свет. Будь же мужчиной, мой друг, и ни о чем не скорби! Радуйся тому, что так рано избавился от горестей и сомнений и скоро достигнешь врат счастья; радуйся, что пересек пустыню жизни и теперь увидишь сверкающие озера, цветущие сады я храмы страны блаженных.

&  Ничто не может заставить человека думать с радостью о близкой смерти, а меня ожидала такая смерть, перед которой содрогнулся бы любой. Но в то же время я понимал, что ... смерть сама по себе не так страшна, жизнь бывает куда страшнее.

&  Как говорят индейцы, голод – большой человек!

<< Начало

&  Будь по-вашему, дон Диего, я принимаю это имя, ибо имена ничего не значат и время от времени их можно просто менять. Я полагаю, что это никого, кроме их владельцев, не касается.

&  ...а, кроме того, уроженцы Севильи никогда не ходят летом по солнечной стороне улицы.

&  – Давайте-ка сначала посмотрим, как вы разбираетесь в медицине и, что гораздо важнее, в природе человеческой, ибо в медицине вообще никто ничего толком не понимает, но тот, кто познал природу людей, может стать повелителем мужчин или женщин – их повелительниц.

&  Даже промахи человека с добрым сердцем зачастую лучше успехов бессердечного ловкача.

---

&  Какой дорожкой ни иди, все равно придешь к одному – к могиле. Каждый из нас должен пройти свой жизненный путь, но когда доходишь до конца, уже не думаешь, гладок он был или нет.

&  Религия для меня ничто: она не может меня ни утешить, ни устрашить. Только сама моя жизнь может меня осудить или оправдать. А в жизни я творил и зло, и добро. Я творил зло, потому что соблазны бывали порой слишком сильны, и я не мог совладеть со своей натурой; я и делал добро, потому что меня влекло к нему сердце. Но теперь все кончено. И смерть в сущности совсем не такая уж страшная штука, если вспомнить, что все люди рождаются, чтобы умереть, как и прочие живые существа. Все остальное ложь, но в одно я верю: есть бог, и он куда милосерднее тех, кто принуждает нас в него верить.

&  – Не плачь. Вся наша жизнь – расставание. Когда-то у меня был сын, такой же, как ты, и не было ничего страшнее нашего прощания. А сейчас я иду к нему, потому что он не может прийти ко мне. О чем же плакать?

Генри Райдер Хаггард — Дочь Монтесумы

  “Хвала богу, даровавшему нам победу! ...

&  Все, что я пережил и перевидал, свидетельствует об одной непреложной истине: зло никогда не приносит добра, зло порождает только зло и в конце концов обрушивается на голову того, кто его творит, будь то один человек или целый народ.

&  У меня такое чувство, словно то, что я пережил в далеком прошлом, и было моей настоящей жизнью, а все остальное – лишь сновидением. Со стариками такое случается.

&  – Вечный сон и забвение придут скоро, Лили: никто еще их не ждал слишком долго. Однако пока мы живы, надо жить. Давай же помолимся, чтобы нам жить друг для друга.

---

&  – Люди редко женятся по настоящей любви, а если это случается, то лишь для того, чтобы тут же потерять друг друга. Будем же благодарны за то, что узнали, какой может быть любовь на земле. И если не встретимся – будем любить друг друга в ином мире, где никто нам не скажет «нет».

&  Если бы я знал все, что мне предстоит пережить, прежде чем я снова увижу родные места, оно бы, наверное, разорвалось. Но господь бог, ниспосылающий людям по мудрости своей тягчайшие испытания, спасает их неведением. Ибо если бы мы обладали даром предвидеть будущее, я думаю, лишь немногие из нас согласились бы жить по доброй воле.

&  – ...А тебе, Томас, я даю завет: не забывай своей веры и своей родины, что бы с тобой ни случилось, избегай ненужных стычек, держись подальше от женщин, губящих нашу молодость, а главное – следи за своим языком и своим характером, он у тебя далеко не голубиный. Кроме того, где бы ты ни был, не хули веру чужой страны, не насмехайся над ее обычаями и не нарушай их, иначе ты узнаешь, как жестоки бывают люди, когда думают, что это угодно их богам!

& Sgt. Hurd: You fucking kidding me? This is an orange ruck. No, ma’am. Not on my vehicle.
    Kim Baker: The girl at the North Face store said it was, like, military grade...
    Sgt. Hurd: Well, where are you gonna hide it? Inside a fucking sunset? I mean, even the Dutch Army don’t wear orange. Fix it.

& Afghan Villager: The Russians are blacks now.

& General Hollanek: Jesus! You have got to be shitting me! You just shot a Javelin at a fucking car! That’s an $80,000 piece of ordnance! Can any of you geniuses tell me the Kelley Blue Book value of a 1989 Toyota pickup?

& Vides: Ma’am, if you set one foot in front of the other, there’s less chance you lose both feet if we hit an I ED.

& General Hollanek: Kim, did you ever feel like you’re manning that tollgate and the engineer’s yelling, «I got pig iron, I got pig iron»?
    Kim Baker: No. I don’t know what that means. But it’s very folksy.

---

& General Hollanek: Well done, Baker.
    Kim Baker: Hooyah, General.
    General Hollanek: Marines say «Oorah.» The Navy says «Hooyah.» Don’t mix those two up.

& Kim Baker: Ah! It’s so pretty, I don’t even want to vote.

& Fahim: The human body produces its own heroin. In fact, when the fight-or-flight instinct is activated in the hypothalamus, your body releases endorphins, dopamine and norepinephrine. That is heroin, cocaine and amphetamine, all at once.

& Fahim: There is a reason to believe that a person can get addicted to this type of high. Soldiers, athletes...
    Kim Baker: War reporters. Got it.
    Fahim: An addict always needs a greater and greater dosage. And then people make mistakes, people get hurt.

& Geri Taub: With the resources we have over there, Afghanistan should definitely be on our air more. But the problem is, as much as everyone loves the troops, they don’t actually want to watch them on the news anymore. They just don’t.

& Kim Baker: Come to New York and get it. Remember, you’re like a six in Manhattan.

& Kim Baker: In my culture, we would... hug.

& Coughlin: It’s still not ’cause of you, ma’am. Some 12-year-old haji had to plant that bomb. And, hell, you know, if Bin Laden’s parents hadn’t have gotten divorced, maybe none of us would’ve been in the Stan to begin with. And the Taliban, they wouldn’t have even been there for UBL if Brezhnev hadn’t have gone and fouled up Afghanistan in the first place... And the British Empire. Yeah. And... Kim Baker.

& Coughlin: There’s only so much any of us have any control of, good or bad. If you didn’t learn that in Afghanistan, you were not paying attention.

& Coughlin: Kim, you’ve got to move on. You’re giving yourself way too much credit. You embrace the suck, you move the fuck forward. What other fucking choice do we have?

Thanksgiving Jamboree

Modern Family 8×7

& Claire: Phil thought it’d be a good idea if Jerry spent the day with a happy, functional family. We couldn’t find one, so he’s coming with us.

& Claire: And you’re on-board with this?
    Mitchell: Yes! Come on, it’s good country fun!
    Claire: No. For Cam, maybe. What is happening? Is he hitting you?

& Lawyer: Look, you want some free legal advice, fellas? Three words— Ladies. Leave. Losers.
    Phil: No, sir, we have three words for you. Have you no sh— Have you— Have no— have you no shame— It can be four words.

---

& Lawyer: Who’s this chuckle-head?
    Phil: Someone who you’re never gonna know, ’cause I’m happily married most of the time.

& Jay: You know, I learned something today. I saw a man nearly die right in front of me. And this is a constant reminder that it can happen to me at any moment. It’s a lot to think about. So I’m not gonna. Phil, get me a beer. Jerry, get me a scotch.

& Cameron: Alex, how many goats have to die until you get a handle on your insatiable appetite for high-school boys?

Eye in the Sky

& Colonel Katherine Powell: Only two Hellfires? Where are my GBU-12s?

& Colonel Katherine Powell: ...Once all suspects are in the house, Kenyan special forces will launch a cordon and search. This is an operation to capture, not kill. Your job is to be their eye in the sky.

& Carrie Gershon: You ever shot a Hellfire?
    Steve Watts: No.
    Carrie Gershon: Or anything?
    Steve Watts: No. I’ve only ever been the eye.

& US Secretary of State: No, his citizenship does not protect him. By joining Al-Shabab he has declared himself an enemy of the United States... Listen to me. Tell the British, if they really do have two, four, and five on the East Africa list in their sights, they have our full support to strike.

& Colonel Katherine Powell: Prepare to launch Hellfire.

& Attorney General: Miss Goldman, we have a somewhat different approach to the question of collateral damage.
    Ms. Jillian Goldman: Sir, you must act now. You have two men about to embark on a suicide mission. You have number two, four, and five on the President’s East Africa kill list in your sights, and you are putting the whole mission at risk because of one collateral damage issue? I realize that this mission is your call, but there would be some mighty angry people here at the White House and at the Pentagon, and out there in the world if you allow these people to leave and blow a shopping mall to kingdom come.

---

& James Willett: Gentlemen, what action is being legally recommended to me?
    Brian Woodale: James, the legal argument is that we could wait, but we need not wait. And the military argument is that we should not wait.

& James Willett: If we go ahead and footage is leaked and this girl is killed, then, I think, the country would be most disturbed.
    Lieutenant General Frank Benson: Foreign Secretary, it is our task to make the right military decision. We cannot engage in an argument about possible future postings on YouTube.
    James Willett: With respect, General, revolutions are fueled by postings on YouTube.

& Colonel Katherine Powell: Mission accomplished.

& Angela Northman: In my opinion, that was disgraceful. And all done from the safety of your chair.
    Lieutenant General Frank Benson: ... I have attended the immediate aftermath of five suicide bombings on the ground, with the bodies. What you witnessed today with your coffee and biscuits is terrible. What these men would’ve done would’ve been even more terrible. Never tell a soldier that he does not know the cost of war.
