The Narrow Escape Problem

Fargo 3×4

& Narrator: Each character in this tale is going to be represented by a different instrument of the orchestra.
    For instance, the bird will be played by the flute, like this...
    Here’s the duck, played by the oboe...
    The cat, by the clarinet...
    The bassoon will represent grandfather...
    The blast of the hunter’s shotguns, played by the kettledrums...
    The wolf, by the French horns...
    And Peter, by the strings...
    Are you sitting comfortably?.. Good. Then I’ll begin.

& Nikki: Remember. Richest guy in the room is always the boss.

& Buck Olander: Milly. Uh... More in the «nice to look at» category than, say, brainiac.

& Ray: While you’re at it, I’ll take 10 grand in hundreds and a buck in quarters for the meter.
    Buck Olander: That’s, uh... well, of course. You’ll just have to fill out a... Or, you know what? I’ll get the paperwork handled myself. Although, es, may I suggest, um, well, it’s just that whenever you take out anything more than $10,000, it automatically triggers a...
    Ray: If I wanted an opinion from an asshole, I’d ask my own. Got it?

& Emmit: Christ on a stick, you think you know a guy. I mean, used feminine hygiene products in a man’s desk drawer is one thing, but now, the ridicule of beloved remains.
    Sy: «Cremains» is the, I think, preferred nomenclature.

& Emmit: What are we in the middle of?

& Yuri: When Putin was a boy, he already knew he wanted to be FSB...

& Yuri: You see, in Russia, there are two words for truth. Pravda is man’s truth. Istina is god’s truth. But there is also nepravda, untruth. And this is the weapon the leader uses. Because he knows what they don’t. The truth is whatever he says it is.

& Moe Dammick: There you go. Using three-syllable words again for a one-syllable problem.

& Winnie Lopez: Well, happy trails.

---

& Gloria: I’m, uh, looking into the, uh... The, uh, murder of... Now that is... Truly, what are the odds?
    Ray: You said «murder»?
    Gloria: Yes, sir, of Ennis Stussy in Eden Valley. And here you are, how many miles away, a Stussy as well.
    Ray: Well, I mean, it’s... Go figure. It’s a pretty common name.

& Ray: «Chief.»
    Gloria: Ignore that. We’re doing some restructuring.
    Ray: They always find a way to screw you, don’t they?
    Gloria: They try.

& — What if she’s manipulating you, using her poontang to hoodwink and bamboozle?

& Emmit: Jesus, it’s dinnertime!
    V.M. Varga: Schweinekoteletts... Pork chops.
    Emmit: With applesauce, but...
    V.M. Varga: Marvelous. We’ll talk as we eat.

& V.M. Varga: Why do I feel that you’re not happy we met when all I want to do is make you rich?
    Emmit: Look around. I’m already rich.
    V.M. Varga: ... No, you’re not.

& V.M. Varga: ...And now might I be so forward, madam, as to ask for the location of your WC.
    Stella: Our what?
    Emmit: He means the crapper.
    Stella: Emmit!

& V.M. Varga: You see it, don’t you? Millions of people bought houses they couldn’t afford, and now they’re living on the streets. 85% of the world’s wealth is controlled by 1% of the population. What do you think is gonna happen when those people wake up and realize you’ve got all their money?
    Emmit: Hey! I just charge for parking!
    V.M. Varga: Oh, you think they’re gonna ask questions when they come with their pitchforks and their torches?

& V.M. Varga: You think you’re rich. You’ve no idea what «rich» means... «Rich» is a fleet of private planes filled with decoys to mask your scent. It’s a banker in Wyoming and another in Gstaad. So that’s action item one, the accumulation of wealth, and I mean wealth, not money.
    Emmit: What’s action item number two?
    V.M. Varga: To use that wealth to become invisible.

& V.M. Varga: Do you know there are 25 chapters in the book of Genesis that refer to the feuds of brothers?.. Cain and Abel, most famously, but Joseph was betrayed by his brothers and sold into slavery. Not to forget the sons of Isaac. «And my brother Esau was a hairy man, but I am a smooth man.» Then not another peep. Corinthians, Leviticus... You’d think all the brothers of history had worked things out, but, of course, we both know that’s not true.

& V.M. Varga: I hear things. I hear them because I listen. I see them because I watch. Emails. Phone calls.... You can never be too careful. That’s my motto.

& V.M. Varga: I’ve studied your books, and, uh, you’re not just in the parking lot business anymore.
    Emmit: What business am I in?
    V.M. Varga: The billionaire business.

& Narrator: ... But Peter paid no attention to his grandfather’s words. Boys like Peter aren’t afraid of wolves.

& Winnie: ... The name. See, it turns out that one of the victims has the same last name as the fellow that owns the company that leased the car. So I looked it up, and, get this, they’re brothers, which... Then I remembered that you were at the parole board about a murder, and so I looked it up. I mean, Eden Valley’s had one death by foul play in 16 months. And the victim’s name is...
    Gloria: Ennis Stussy.
    Winnie: With the same as...
    Gloria: My suspect’s parole officer.
    Winnie: And his brother, who owns the company that leased the Humvee, and who lives, get this, in Eden Prairie.

& Michael: We’re exactly where I don’t want to be: improvising.

& Lincoln: Just tell us where you’re headed.
    Omar: 300 miles across the desert. Phaeacia.

& Omar: You do realize this is Yemen, don’t you? Phaeacia is a hundred people. Mud huts. There is no map.

& Whip: You coldcock me, I end you. Rule number one in my country. Okay?
    Omar: And rule number one in my country is when things get bad, go to the desert.

Central Intelligence

& Calvin Joyner: What do you mean, «someone»?
    Maggie: See someone, like a therapist.
    Calvin Joyner: Uh, honey, black people don’t go to therapy. We go to barbershops. That’s where we talk out our problems. Or we watch the movie Barbershop. One or the other.

& Calvin Joyner: Do you remember Robbie Wheirdicht, from high school?

& Calvin Joyner: You look like Hercules or somebody. What did you do? Come on, man, give it to me. What’d you do?
    Bob Stone: No, I didn’t do much, really.
    Calvin Joyner: Stop it.
    Bob Stone: All right. Well, I just did one thing... I worked out six hours a day, every day, for the last 20 years straight. I mean, anybody can do it, right?

& Bob Stone: Well, before this whole thing goes down, you should know one thing about me... I don’t like bullies.

& Calvin Joyner: I’m talking about the fact that I don’t feel like I’m the hero of my own story.
    Bob Stone: How are you not the hero of your own story? No one else can be!

& Calvin Joyner: You wanna talk about facts? This is Facebook’s fault. He sent me a friend request. That’s how this whole thing started.
    Agent Pamela Harris: And you accepted?
    Calvin Joyner: ..... First of all, fuck Mark Zuckerberg, all right? Now, I accepted because it was Facebook. And it’s rude when you don’t accept it, and I don’t know if the person on the other end can see me not accept it. That’s why I accepted.
    Agent Pamela Harris: Are you nervous, Mr. Joyner?

& Bob Stone: Spoiler alert. I’m in the CIA.

& Calvin Joyner: Hey, hey! What’re you doing with my phone? You about to turn my phone into a bomb, aren’t you? I’ve seen Homeland! So I know what they do.
    Bob Stone: Homeland? No, I’m ordering us an Uber.

& Bob Stone: Bottom line, are you in or you out?
    Calvin Joyner: What are you talk... In or out of what?
    Bob Stone: Mmm-mmm. No time for questions, just action. In or out?
    Calvin Joyner: Okay, well, then I’m out.
    Bob Stone: I’m sorry, Jet. Actually, you’re already in.
    Calvin Joyner: What? Then why would you ask me?
    Bob Stone: Because I thought you would go, «I’m in, Bob!» And we would’ve had a really cool moment, but you kind of ruined the whole thing.

---

& Bob Stone: God, you are good! Calvin Joyner, president of the drama club for a reason, folks! You’re like a snack-size Denzel.

& Bob Stone: Here’s the thing, though. There’s only one way for you to get out... You gotta get in first.

& Maggie: Is everything all right?
    Calvin Joyner: Yeah! Yeah. Why? Everything’s... Everything’s fine.
    Maggie: Uh, because you kind of sound like Ray Liotta at the end of Goodfellas.

& Calvin Joyner: I’m gonna address the elephant in the room. Okay, first of all... You guys, I want to say sorry to. Because what you’re probably thinking is not what happened. Accidents!

& Bob Stone: Why don’t we try a simple role-playing exercise? Calvin, you be Calvin and I will become Maggie.
    Calvin Joyner: Mmm. I’m confused.

& Bob Stone: It’s called soul gazing. Stare into my soul and I’ll stare into yours.

& Trevor: Once a fat kid, always a fat kid.

& Calvin Joyner: Do you know what happens when people split up, Bob? Somebody dies!

& Bob Stone: Phil, when this thing is over, I’m going to rip your throat out like Patrick Swayze in Road House.
    Phil: Oh, my God. You and Road House. Get over that movie. It sucked then, it sucks now. The only movie that sucks more is Sixteen Candles.

& Agent Pamela Harris: Mr. Joyner, it was a pleasure working with you. If you ever want a career change, you give me a call.
    Calvin Joyner: If I were to give you a call, how would I get in touch with you?
    Agent Pamela Harris: Just pick up any phone in your house. They’re all bugged.

& Bob Stone: Being the hero of your own story isn’t about stopping bad guys or climbing mountains. It’s about overcoming bullies in your life, whatever or whomever they may be. ...it’s realizing that, in life, the most important thing that you can be is yourself.

& Bob Stone: You look like a black Will Smith, or something.
    Calvin Joyner: Okay. Well, I’m not sure if that’s racist or not, but I’ll take it as a compliment.

& Rebel: I’ve already got some birth control in me that I paid for myself, and I’d hate to let it go to waste...
    George Michael: Well, that’s perfect, because I’m not quite ready to have children.

& Rebel: You know what really impresses me about you? How little you try to impress me.
    George Michael: Well, I aim to not please.

& Gob: Really, it’s just the age we live in, isn’t it? Take a pill to forget your problems. Take a pill to go to sleep. And take a pill to forget your problems. Need an erection, take a pill.

    Gob: Oh. Love each other.

& Gob: I would say what I did take away was that I would rather have sex with someone because they thought I was someone else than not have sex with someone because they thought I was me.
    George Michael: So I should probably do the opposite of that and... be true to who I am and not compromise my integrity just for some fleeting sexual experience. So... «love each other.»

Chicanery

Better Call Saul 3×3

& Jimmy: You sure this is the right play? I mean, in my experience, the bigger the lie, the harder it can be to dig out.

& Chuck: It is incredibly bad manners to answer a cellphone in company. It’s very rude.

& Chuck: No, Howard. There’s only one way forward. Let justice be done, though the heavens fall.

& Chuck: But the law is too important...

& Mr. Alley: Do you hate your brother?
    Chuck: Absolutely not. I love my brother. There’s nothing malicious in Jimmy. He has a way of doing the worst things for reasons that sound almost noble. But what I know for sure is that the law is too important to be toyed with.
    It’s mankind’s greatest achievement... the Rule of Law, the idea that, no matter who you are, your actions have consequences. And the way my brother treats the law... it breaks my heart. That’s why I did what I did. Not to hurt him, but to protect something that I hold sacred.

& Linda: Do you mean actual gates? Like big and pearly? Are we talking clouds? Harps? Old dudes in white robes?
    Lucifer: And my dad is Morgan Freeman? Focus, Doctor.

& Linda: My job is to help you understand your emotions. I can help you become aware of what it is you’re feeling, or trying to avoid feeling.....
    Lucifer: Right, you’ve got that look on your face when you’re saying something insightful and waiting for me to figure it out.

& Mazikeen: I’m sorry. I can’t deal with human emotions on an empty stomach. Makes me... nauseous.

& Lucifer: Tall, non-fat almond milk latte with sugar-free caramel drizzle and no vodka this time.
    Chloe: What’s the occasion?
    Lucifer: Well, I thought we should celebrate our first day together as crime-solving divorcees.

& Principal: Um, our children learn to manage their emotions in no time.
    Lucifer: Well, why didn’t you say so in the first place? Let the schooling begin!

---

& Lucifer: A foursome isn’t an emotion, Mum! Ladies, I’m sorry, but, uh, it’s hard for me to enjoy a triple-decker with my mum’s hands all over it, so...

& Lucifer: What’s the rush? Not like eternity’s got a «best before» date.

& Trixie: She has helped so many other people with their problems, I don’t want her to worry about mine. So I pretend I’m okay.
    Lucifer: Well... welcome to the club of parental deceit, child. It’s a lonely place, but, uh, that’s the price of being clever.

& Chloe: You are lucky my daughter likes you so much.
    Lucifer: Yes, I’m starting to respect the deceptive little parasite.

& Lucifer: Driving lessons will have to wait until your mum’s not looking.

& Mazikeen: A school like that is great for Trixie.... Fancy-pants rich kids? They’re like vipers, okay? Trixie will learn to slash them with her words. Then I will teach her the knives.

& Lucifer: Careful, brother. Too much of that will make you go blind.

& Lucifer: It turns out you were right, Doctor. It’s impossible to control your feelings. And anyone who does risks turning into a murderous lunatic with a child of below-average intelligence, so...

& Linda: I know it’s difficult. But the only way to get over that pain... is to go through it.

The Last Man on Earth 3×18

& Carol: I think I might need to excuse myself. Feeling a little queasy. Not because of your blood and goop, Erica. That was beautiful. But in a way, it does make me feel the need to puke and lie down.

& Tandy: Look, I-I got a little, uh... How should I put this? Uh... thing of interest, uh, to tell you.

& Tandy: Yeah, okay, well, uh, as always, I commend you on that whimsical, seemingly pointless yet suddenly relevant wind-up to what could’ve been a really boring bit of regular old information.
    Carol: Well, I learned it from the best.

& Todd: We had a lot of good times in here.
    Tandy: But like the dinosaur, all good things must come to an end.

& Melissa: I found this book about what would happen if all civilization vanished. And it says, sooner or later, all these nuclear reactors are gonna blow.
    Todd: Ooh, what does it say we should do?
    Melissa: In the book we’re all dead.

& Carol: Well, okay, so when can we go back to our building?
    Gail: 20,000 years.

    Carol: Oh, don’t say it.
    Gail: Los Angeles.

& Tandy: We’re like a needle in a haystack. I’ll take it one step further. The needle is hay-colored. And the haystack is made of needles.

& Todd: Well, here’s two solid candidates, Ship Happens and The Sea Word.

& Todd: No Boats about It? It’s like they didn’t even try.

    Tandy: Americans. Hurry up and wait. You feel me, Erica?

& Tandy: Anyway, the word toast comes to mind because America is now toast to us.

& Tandy: I’ll keep this brief ’cause I know that time is of the essence. But, uh, I’d like to spend five minutes per person on what each of you mean to me...

& Tandy: ...And when it comes to the happiness and well-being of this group, I can 100%, absolutely, positively, with absolutely no reservations, assure you, positively... this is only the beginning.

& Tandy: Hey, Gail, don’t even waste your friggin’ breath on thanks. .... Hey, I don’t want thanks any more than the common angel from heaven.

& Carol: The CD to which I am listening is called sounds of laughter. And it’s recordings of people laughing. This track is called «Girls Night Out.» But my favorite is «Church Giggles.»

& Jasper: Is Erica gonna die?
    Carol: Yes, I think so, Jasper.
    Melissa: Oh. Carol!
    Carol: What? Did you not hear her? If that didn’t sound like a death wail,

& Melissa: Carol, can you try not to be so morbid around Jasper?
    Carol: How?! Did you not see that list of things that could go wrong? One of them was a prolapsed anus!
    Melissa: I did see that one.

& Melissa: «Carol Andrew Pilbasian Miller, loving wife, devoted friend, died in childbirth after a torturous, protracted, bloody labor.»
    Carol: Yeah...

& Carol: Oh, my God, did she pass?... Put her body in a peaceful position before rigor mortis sets in.

& Gail: I don’t frickin’ know! You think somebody puts some blue scrubs on me, that makes me a doctor?!

& Tandy: Wait, Jasper, she’s not gonna die. Hey, childbirth is easy. That’s why I let Gail and Todd take that. Heck, you have more of a chance of dying on this slide than Erica has of dying in childbirth.

& Tandy: Okay, see you at the bottom.

& Carol: «Carol Andrew Pilbasian Miller has died. She was remembered as a survivor of the virus, a master bedazzler...» And a big fat coward.

& Tandy: Now, look, bud, she’s not dying. See, babies are quite large, but the openings they come out of are quite small. It’s a design flaw.

& Gail: Okay, well, where the hell is Carol? We really could use another set of hands here.
    Melissa: She’s too busy pussing out.
    Carol: ...Or is she too busy pussing in?

& Carol: Hey, little stinker. I got a present for you out here, but it’s only for born people. Huh? It’s kind of a Born Ultimatum.

Стивен Кинг — Возрождение (6/8)

<< Ранее

&  – Торопить время – большой грех, – не уставала говорить нам мама в детстве.

&  Звучащая по радио песня может вернуть прошлое с жестокой (пусть и милосердно мимолетной) непосредственностью: первый поцелуй, отдых с друзьями или неприятное событие в жизни. ... Фотография может обладать таким же свойством.

&  Это было в небольшом приморском парке развлечений в Северной Каролине, который назывался «Страна радости». Сейчас он закрылся, но там было чудесно, Джейми. Мне очень нравилось...

&  – Что-нибудь тревожное, – попросил он. – Чтобы публика всерьез запереживала, как бы девчонку не поджарили на электрическом стуле.
     Это было просто. Переход с ля минор на ми (основные аккорды «The House of the Rising Sun» и «The Springhill Mining Disaster», если интересно) всегда создает атмосферу обреченности.

---

&  Вопрос: Смерть, где твое жало?
     Ответ: Да везде, мать твою!

&  – Музыка – вот что имеет значение. Всякие телешоу канут в небытие, и бьюсь об заклад, что ты не вспомнишь, что видел в кино два года назад. Но музыка продолжает жить, даже поп-музыка. Особенно поп-музыка. Можно сколько угодно смеяться над «Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on My Head», но люди будут продолжать слушать эту незамысловатую фигню и через пятьдесят лет.

&  Если у тебя нет никакого плана, рассудил я (возможно, самонадеянно), то никто его и не нарушит.

&  Я вспомнил о трех возрастах настоящего американца: юность, зрелые годы и «ты выглядишь потрясно»...

Ball in Hand

Billions 2×12

& Boyd: This is the first day of the rest of my life. I’m free and clear. You, however...

& Dake: You expect favors in return for giving it to me. But I cannot have you involved.
    Chuck: That’s a bit like telling the cow not to involve itself in the steak dinner. Without it, no steak.

& Chuck: You’re a hard man, Dake. But a word of caution. You and your team go chasing Axe up into those hills without me, don’t forget one thing...
    Dake: What’s that?
    Chuck: A good supply of body bags.

& Rhoades, Sr.: Moves like that... Where do you get the fucking nerve?!

& Wendy: Put words together, in a sentence, that might give me a sense of what the actual fuck.

& Wags: ...as far as I’m concerned, I have to really step up to lead and...
    Wendy: You’re ready to do whatever you need to.
    Wags: It doesn’t feel like that to me.
    Wendy: Describe it.
    Wags: Erratic heartbeat, prickly sweat down my spine, sack high and tight.
    Wendy: Panic.
    Wags: Yep.
    Wendy: It means you’re not fooling yourself into thinking it’ll be easy. It means your adrenaline is firing, and your synapses. Means you’re ready to meet whatever anyone throws at you today.

& Axelrod: I need to know what the fuck is gonna happen to me when I get arrested. Minute by minute.
    Dollar Bill: .... Look, at least you got some warning. It’s not gonna be a shock.
    Axelrod: Uh-huh. And now what?
    Dollar Bill: You got to eat something before you go in, because they’ll starve you. And if they do feed you, it’s gonna be garbage. But more important than that, find time to take a shit, because you don’t want that business pending when you’re in there.... What?! I’m giving you the real. So, there’s always at least one guard who wants to get paid. Find that fucker and pay him.

---

& Dake: You’re in a U.S. Attorney’s Office, Mr. Bach, not some souk buying a rug. I don’t negotiate.

& Dake: Mr. Bach, mother of God. I’ll be referring your conduct to the Bar Association.
    Bach: Well, then... I guess I just shit myself with fear.

& Axelrod: Just so you know, my boat’s draft is too deep for this dipshit marina. And I’m not sailing away from anything.

& Axelrod: This place was like a sanctuary for me when I was a kid. The game is different now. Rules have changed, you know? Back when I’d come in here, the only way your opponent could get ball in hand was if you hit the ball off the table. Not anymore. Any scratch at all, you can pick it up, place the cue ball wherever he wants. Ball in hand. You give a good pool player that kind of advantage, your game’s as good as over.

& Axelrod: I got no fucking clue what to say to my boys.
    Bach: No one ever does. At least, not in advance. But, uh, you’re a good father. When the instant arrives, you will... Remind them that they know who you really are, no matter what anyone says.

& Axelrod: But the government is a bunch of fucking liars, guys!... Listen. Look, that’s not true. Sometimes they lie. Sometimes they tell the truth, just like everyone... like me. Most folks, they find this out about their dad much later, but everyone finds it out.
    I’m a flawed man. And I’m not perfect. I’m not always right. I don’t always win. I fucked up. I did do something wrong. If that makes me a bad person? Well... you’ll have to decide that for yourselves, not just once, but many times more as you grow older and you learn more.
    But know this. I’m still your dad. And I am gonna fight. I’m gonna try really hard to win this, but I might not. But we don’t give up.

& Axelrod: I always figured the worst part about being locked up would the company.

& Axelrod: Yeah, I might go down behind all of this, but one thing is for sure, you are gonna be right there next to me.
    Chuck: Wow. Like I said before, Bob... worth it.

Moving Targets

Elementary 5×22

& Holmes: It’s of the highest importance in the art of detection to be able to recognize, out of a number of facts, which are incidental and which are vital.

& Holmes: The term «reality television» is practically Orwellian, isn’t it? I mean, you take would-be actors, you put them in manufactured situations and then you carefully shape a narrative from hundreds of hours of footage, all to create such groundbreaking fare...

& Holmes: In all our years together, Watson, we may never have seen a more accomplished killer...

---

& Watson: You’re sleeping.
    Holmes: Hmm?
    Watson: You never sleep.
    Holmes: I rarely sleep. There is a difference.

& Det. Bell: Hey, you know the cops don’t have to tell the truth to suspects, don’t you?

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend 2×9

& Paula: You hurt her... I kill you. ’Kay? So go. Go be in love.

& Nathaniel: We’re gonna start running this place like a real business. My father and our firm demand nothing less. So we maximize every second. I’m gonna need 60 hours a week from everybody, daily reports, lunch is limited to 30 minutes. Basically, anything going on in your life right now, I recommend you cancel it. And then go ahead and cancel it again just to make sure that they know that it’s... you know, it’s canceled, okay?

& Paula: Oh, my God, I am so fired. No, no, no, no, no. I’m gonna live in a box with my family. How am I gonna cook? How am I gonna do laundry? How am I gonna take a bath? Because that is the only thing that gets me through the day, just thinking about sinking into those suds!

---

& Paula: The minute I laid eyes on him, I knew we were all in trouble. A man with a face that perfectly symmetrical... has no soul.

& Whitworth: Our lawyers have tried to get that suit thrown out.
    Rebecca: Yes, and they failed. Because they’re afraid to get their hands dirty. But... not me. I never even wash my hands.

& Lucille 2: Oh, Buster. Hello.
    Buster: Hello to you, too, 2. Oh, look at all this produce...
    Lucille 2: I’m juicing now. Would you like to join me?
    Buster: It’s 2:00 o’clock in the afternoon.
    Lucille 2: Fine it’s 8:00 a.m. somewhere.

& Buster: Let’s get juiced.

& Narrator: And while his days were spent trying to get his mother to love him... his nights were consumed with getting his lover to mother him.

& Lucille: Why does it have to be so big?
    Buster: Well, they said the miniaturization comes later. I mean, you remember how big your first cell phone was.

& Lucille: I’m glad you have a new hand. But you need to find someone else to hold it.

& Ophelia Love: And since you’re never around, I mean, he could help me with the boys... It’s like that movie The Blind Side.

Midnight Run

& Thug: What the fuck’s goin’ on? You guys ain’t cops.
    Jack Walsh: No, we’re ballet dancers. Didn’t your mother ever teach you how to react to strangers? Not shoot at them? Huh?

& Jonathan Mardukas: No, I’m just saying that it’s a very, very tricky business and if I were your accountant, I would really strongly have to advise you against it, as an accountant.
    Jack Walsh: You’re not my accountant.
    Jonathan Mardukas: I realize I’m not your accountant. I’m just saying if I were your accountant...

& Jonathan Mardukas: I can’t fly.
    Jack Walsh: What?
    Jonathan Mardukas: You heard me, I can’t fly.
    Jack Walsh: No, no, no. You’re going to have to do better than that, pal.
    Jonathan Mardukas: No, I don’t have to do better than that, because it’s the truth, I can’t fly: I suffer from aviaphobia.
    Jack Walsh: What does that mean?
    Jonathan Mardukas: It means I can’t fly. I also suffer from acrophobia and claustrophobia.
    Jack Walsh: I’ll tell you what: if you don’t cooperate, you’re gonna suffer from «fistophobia.»

& Jonathan Mardukas: Familiar with the word «arteriosclerosis»? «Cholesterol»?.. If you want, I’ll outline a complete balanced diet for you.
    Jack Walsh: Mail it to me from C-Block.
    Jonathan Mardukas: Why would you eat that?
    Jack Walsh: Why? ’Cause it tastes good.
    Jonathan Mardukas: But it’s not good for you.
    Jack Walsh: I’m aware of that.
    Jonathan Mardukas: Why would you do something, if you know it’s not good for you?
    Jack Walsh: Because I don’t think about it.
    Jonathan Mardukas: That’s living in denial.
    Jack Walsh: Living in denial?
    Jonathan Mardukas: Yeah.
    Jack Walsh: I’m aware of that.
    Jonathan Mardukas: So you’re aware of all your behavior yet you continue to do things that aren’t good for you. That sounds sort of foolish. Don’t you think so, Jack?
    Jack Walsh: No. Stealing $15 million from Jimmy Serrano sounds foolish.
    Jonathan Mardukas: I didn’t think I’d get caught.
    Jack Walsh: Now, that’s livin’ in denial.
    Jonathan Mardukas: I’m aware of that.
    Jack Walsh: So you’re aware of your behavior and yet you continue to do things that aren’t good for you. Sounds kind of foolish to me, don’t you think, Jon?
    Jonathan Mardukas: It was foolish.

---

& Jonathan Mardukas: Oh, no, no. Come on, come on. Cigarettes are killers.
    Jack Walsh: So are women.

& Jack Walsh: Did it ever occur to you that I am a professional and that I might have my reasons?

& Jack Walsh: ... That whole fuckin’ department was corrupt.
    Jonathan Mardukas: There’s good and bad everywhere, don’t you think?
    Jack Walsh: I’d say there’s bad everywhere. Good I don’t know about.

& Jack Walsh: You know, Jon, you’re in this mess because you’re in this mess. I didn’t put you in this mess. Do you understand?

& Jack Walsh: ..... You lied to me first.
    Jonathan Mardukas: Yes, yes, I lied to you first but you had no knowledge I was lying about my fear of flying at the river when you lied to me. So as far as you knew, you lied to me first.
    Jack Walsh: Can’t even argue with you. I don’t even know what the fuck you’re talking about.
    Jonathan Mardukas: I’m just saying you lied to me first as far as you knew.

& Jonathan Mardukas: You know why you have an ulcer? Because you have two forms of expression: Silence and rage.

& Jonathan Mardukas: Come on. Uncuff me.
    Jack Walsh: You fuck with me—
    Jonathan Mardukas: And you’ll hit me on the head and drop me in a thing. Right. Come on. Uncuff me.

& Jonathan Mardukas: Sometimes you just have to let go. Just get yourself a new watch.

& Jonathan Mardukas: You’re okay, Jack. I think... under different circumstances... you and I... probably still would’ve hated each other.

& Jonathan Mardukas: Do me a favor. Don’t pretend you care about me. It really insults my intelligence.

& Marvin: Am I lucky, or am I just good?

& Jonathan Mardukas: I don’t know what to say.
    Jack Walsh: Don’t say anything. Knowing you, you’ll make me want to put those back on you again.

& Jack Walsh: I know you had money, but I didn’t know you had money. How much is here?
    Jonathan Mardukas: Neighborhood of $300,000.
    Jack Walsh: That’s a... that’s a very respectable neighborhood.

& Jack Walsh: See you in the next life.
    Jonathan Mardukas: See you in the next life.

& Jack Walsh: Do you know what time it is?
    Pedestrian: 25 to 12:00.
    Jack Walsh: 25 to 12:00... I would’ve made it.

& Jack Walsh: You wouldn’t have change for $1,000, would you?

&  Он пожал плечами и дал мне самый ценный совет, какой только можно дать музыканту: сомневаешься – молчи.

&  Позже я узнал, что на бэк-вокалистов все равно никто не обращает никакого внимания... хотя их отсутствие сразу становится заметным.

&  С тех пор я узнал, что одним из главных различий между полами является то, что мужчины склонны прикидывать, что и как, а женщины – нет.

&  Он был прав. Или почти прав. Барабаны, бас, две гитары – и все начинается в тональности ми.

&  Ритм-гитарист всегда может найти себе дело, даже если он под таким кайфом, что едва держится на ногах. В принципе все сводится к двум моментам: нужно вовремя появляться и уметь брать ми.

&  В кино меня больше всего привлекает скорость, с которой происходят метаморфозы. Можно начать с занудного подростка без друзей, без денег, с никчемными родителями, и вдруг он сразу превращается в Брэда Питта в расцвете сил. И отделяет этого чудика от бога всего лишь титр «14 ЛЕТ СПУСТЯ».

& Remi: Why do people say «housebroken»?
    Danny: Because... Remi, you have to break a dog, break their will, so that they’ll submit to your will. It’s a kind of civilizing. So they act like humans.
    Remi: You mean so they go to the bathroom outside instead of inside?
    Danny: Exactly.
    Remi: But when you break a will, well... What is a will exactly, anyway?
    Danny: It’s character. Force of character. It’s the thing that makes you you.

& Dina: Honey, death is a sad thing, but it’s a natural thing. And sometimes it happens without any reason at all.
    Remi: Well, what about God?
    Dina: We don’t believe in God.
    Remi: Well, what do we believe in?
    Dina: Truth, compassion, love...

&  – И что мы получаем за нашу веру? За все века, что мы отдали этой церкви, за все наши кровавые жертвы и дары? Заверения, что в конце всего этого нас ждет рай, а когда мы там окажемся, нам все объяснят, и тогда мы воскликнем: «О да! Вот теперь мне все понятно». Вот в чем состоит награда.

&  – Не сердись на него... Испуганные люди живут в своем собственном аду. Можно сказать, они создают его сами ..., но не могут ничего с этим поделать. Так уж они устроены и заслуживают за это сочувствия и сострадания.

&  Когда мы окидываем взглядом прожитую жизнь, нам кажется, что ее течение было закономерным. Каждое событие начинает выглядеть логичным, будто что-то или кто-то заранее расписал все наши поступки (и проступки)...

    Why does the spider climb so high? Is it striving to get to the top? Or does its spider brain have no concept of there even being a top? Maybe she believes she can just keep going up and up and up forever...
    That’s what I choose to believe. Only small thinkers believe there’s a top. A plateau to reach. We here a Hubert National Bank will never stop climbing higher to maximize your bottom line.

& Montgomery: Captain O’Connell, shut the fuck up!.. Do you know how I’m able to tell him that, Mims? Because my official title is Special Agent in Charge which gives me the authority over a Special Agent who’s over your Captain who’s over you.

& Montgomery: ...I’m not about to start justifying murder and theft as a means to fight public corruption.

<< Ранее

&  В то утро он проснулся рядом с женой и позавтракал, глядя на сына. Они болтали о всяких пустяках, как обычно делают люди по утрам. Мы не знаем, что ждет нас впереди. Любой день может оказаться последним, и знать об этом никому из нас не суждено.

&  Помимо характерной природной сдержанности и воспитания янки отличает умеренная предвзятость в вопросах религии и расы. Три года спустя я услышал, как один из преподавателей средней школы в Гейтс-Фоллз, где я тогда учился, спросил оскорбленно-удивленным тоном: «Кому это понадобилось стрелять в преподобного Кинга? Он же был хорошим ниггером!»

&  Для чтения в день Ужасной проповеди он выбрал тринадцатую главу Первого послания к Коринфянам, ...: «Ибо мы отчасти знаем, и отчасти пророчествуем; когда же настанет совершенное, тогда то, что отчасти, прекратится. Когда я был младенцем, то по-младенчески говорил, по-младенчески мыслил, по-младенчески рассуждал; а как стал мужем, то оставил младенческое. Теперь мы видим как бы сквозь тусклое стекло, гадательно, тогда же лицем к лицу; теперь знаю я отчасти, а тогда познаю, подобно как я познан»

---

&  ...смерти, подобные тем, что постигли мою жену и сына, кажутся жестокими и непонятными. Нам говорят, что Христос вознесся на небеса в своем теле, но мы, бедные земные смертные, слишком часто остаемся с безобразно изуродованной человеческой плотью и мучительным вопросом: почему? почему? почему?

&  Ближе всего Библия подходит к нему в словах апостола Павла в Послании к Коринфянам, где он говорит, обращаясь к братии, что спрашивать не нужно, ибо ответа они все равно не поймут. А когда Иов спросил об этом у самого Бога, то получил еще более резкий ответ: «Где был ты, когда Я полагал основания земли?» Что в переводе на язык наших юных прихожан означает: «Отвяжись, придурок».

&  Давайте честно признаем, что имел в виду апостол Павел, когда говорил о тусклом стекле. Он имел в виду, что мы должны принять все на веру. Если наша вера сильна, мы попадем на небо, где все поймем. Как если бы жизнь была шуткой, соль которой нам предстоит узнать лишь в раю.

The Sea of Trees

& Arthur: Why do you wanna die?
    Nakamura: I do not want to die.
    Arthur: Then why are you here?
    Nakamura: It is... I didn’t want to live.
    Arthur: What’s the difference?

& Nakamura: It is said a flower grows when a soul has crossed over from this place.

& Arthur: There are answers for everything in science.
    Nakamura: But not in god?
    Arthur: God is more our creation than we are his.
    Nakamura: So... why end your life? If god is not waiting for you on the other side, who is?

& Arthur: I used actual bread crumbs.
    Nakamura: You are handsome.
    Arthur: Pardon?
    Nakamura: You used bread crumbs. Handsome and Gretel.
    Arthur: What?.... Hansel and Gretel!

---

& Arthur: It’s always that moment. You know? Life-changing moment that... knocks us to the door and reminds us what really matters. The thing about those moments is they come and they go and sometimes they... they come too late.

& Arthur: I don’t know how to live without her.
    Nakamura: You will not have to. Not forever.

& Arthur: I was wrong to treat my wife the way I treated her and she was wrong to treat me how she did. Now neither one of us are ever gonna get the chance to say... I’m sorry.
    Nakamura: She’s listening.
    Arthur: No she’s not.
    Nakamura: It is during our darkest times that our loved ones are closest. Even those who have passed.

& Arthur: My wife. I didn’t really know her. I mean, I-I-I knew... you know, the date her car insurance needed to be renewed... and her social security number... Thing-things that seemed important. I didn’t know her favorite... her favorite color. I don’t know her favorite season. I don’t know her favorite book.

The Gyroscopic Collapse

The Big Bang Theory 10×23

& Howard: ...But the movie did just get good.

& Howard: This is all very upsetting.
    Colonel Williams: I’m sorry to hear that. As you know, the primary focus of the United States military is people’s feelings...
    Sheldon: If that’s sarcasm, please save it for our enemies!

& Sheldon: You know, I have a good mind to stop paying my taxes... It’s too bad I enjoy doing them so much.

& Sheldon: The Air Force did it again. They’re erasing our lives!

& Bernadette: Really? That’s the importance you put on us having a baby?
    Howard: I’m happy about it, but, I mean, it’s not like I did much. I mean, after the first three minutes it was pretty much all you.

& Amy: Well, maybe this’ll cheer you up. I made your favorite oatmeal... plain.

& Sheldon: Mmm, tasteless... How do you do it?

---

& Amy: Oh, I don’t know, I mean, let’s say we succeed in proving that our consciousness creates reality. I mean, what will we have really accomplished? You know, a loaf of bread’s still three bucks.

& Sheldon: I’ll be fine.
    Amy: Are-are you sure?
    Sheldon: Yes. I may have lost my guidance system and my girlfriend, but I still have a colon full of yesterday’s meals to keep me company.

& Howard: ...And now the movie just got rated «R.»

& Sheldon: ...here’s some quality luggage. The salesman said it could survive a plane crash, so... Perhaps you should fly inside it.

& Sheldon: Uh, I know it’s not your birthday, but if you’re interested...
    Amy: I am!

& Sheldon: All right, then. Let’s go to the bedroom, remove our clothes, fold them neatly... and engage in frenzied lovemaking.

Стивен Кинг — Возрождение (2/8)

<< Начало

&  Если хотите поднять себе настроение, назовите что-нибудь «куском дерьма». Как правило, это срабатывает.

&  – Неплохой фокус, верно? И сказал Бог: да будет свет. И стал свет. И увидел Бог свет, что он хорош. Только я не Бог и потому пользуюсь электричеством. А оно – настоящее чудо, Джейми. Этот подарок от Господа позволяет нам чувствовать себя богоподобными каждый раз, когда мы щелкаем выключателем. Ты согласен?

&  – Хобби нужно всем. Как и чудо-другое, чтобы доказать, что жизнь не сводится к изнурительному пути от колыбели до могилы.

&  В конце концов, кто из нас помнит в подробностях свою жизнь с шести до девяти лет? Но изложение событий на бумаге – это чудесно и жутко в одно и то же время. Оно позволяет проникнуть в глубины памяти, доступ к которым был прежде закрыт.

---

&  Избирательная память – один из главных пороков старости...

&  – Бог перестал быть важным для людей, – заметила как-то мама после службы, когда прихожан явилось совсем мало. – Но придет день, когда они об этом пожалеют.

&  – Знаешь, Джейми, есть такое выражение: дорога в ад вымощена благими намерениями... И освещена электрическими фонарями.

&  – Словами «совпадение» и «везение» пользуются неверующие люди, Клэр, когда хотят описать волю Божию.

&  Красота вообще очень хрупка.

The Law of Non-Contradiction

Fargo 3×3

& Motel Receptionist: Uh, room 203. Very nice room. Very nice. It’s got air conditioning. You can smell the ocean.
    Gloria: There’s a view?
    Receptionist: No. There’s a smell. At low tide.

& Vivian: No, it’s not a very clear time for me.
    Gloria: Which?
    Vivian: The ’70s.

& Vivian: Gloria. I’m 29 years sober. Long time.
    Gloria: Mmm.
    Vivian: Before that, I wasn’t.

& Hunt: You don’t use Facebook? You’re kidding me. Everybody’s on Facebook. It’s... Facebook.
    Gloria: Could you stop saying «Facebook»?

---

& Hunt: Look, I’m just gonna cut to the chase here, gorgeous. Am I getting laid tonight or what?
    Gloria: What.

& Old Zimmerman: Let me ask you something... Do you know about science?
    Gloria: Do I know...
   Old Zimmerman: Science. Well, science has this thing. It’s been proven. They call it «quantum» — something. It talks about how we’re all just particles... we’re floating out there... we’re moving through space... nobody knows where we are. And then every once in a while... BANG! We collide. And suddenly for... maybe a minute. We’re real. And then... we float off again. As if we don’t even exist. I used to think... it meant something. These collisions. The people we found.
    Gloria: And now?
   Old Zimmerman: Don’t let... the door hit you on your way out.

& Zimmerman: Everybody’s got a role to play. Yours is to cough up the cheddar and then screw. You understand?

& Gloria: No. It’s just a story. None of this has anything to do with... O-kay.

& Donny: Hey, uh, Chief. Old Chief...
    Gloria: You gotta stop calling me that.

Nobody Knows the Trubel I've Seen

Grimm 3×19

"Nobody knows the trouble
I've seen,
nobody knows my sorrow."

& Hank: I’m just a cop, and we’re just trying to do our job.

& King Frederick: It always comes down to a woman, doesn’t it? Wars are waged, kingdoms lost, hearts broken.

& Nick: What kind of female young Wesen could take on a Klaustreich and a Lausenschlange?
    Monroe: You’re speaking rhetorically, right?

& Monroe: I guess... You got your Augapfel-Aushacken. Were their eyes pecked out? ’Cause they’ll do that to a man.
    Nick: No, but they were cut up pretty good.
    Monroe: Okay, um... Could be a Fétide Taillader. You could smell them a mile away. Oh, on the other hand, you know what? You could be dealing with a female Sangrienta Manos, although, truth be told, they usually consume the intestines, so...
    Hank: I don’t like the sound of any of them.

---

& Viktor: Let’s see what the Hexen-bitch wants.

& Monroe: Which one? The Augapfel-Aushacken, the Fétide Taillader or the Sangrienta Manes?
    Hank: Yeah, what you just said.
    Monroe: ...I mean, if you get a chance, shoot ’em. Actually, if it is an Augapfel-Aushacken, even if you don’t get a chance, shoot ’em... I’m not sure what I just said, but you know what I mean?

& Theresa: Nobody calls me Theresa.
    Juliette: Uh-huh. So, what do they call you?
    Theresa: They call me Trubel.
