& — What can’t guns do?

& — Another problem solved by guns.

& Tulip: Jesse, now would be a really good time for Genesis.

& Cassidy: What’s wrong with ginger ale? It’s good for blood loss, you know that?

& Cassidy: All right. Three possible explanations here for all of this. Number one... Terminator. Machine sent from the future to kill one of us. Number two... Terminator 2. Machine sent from the future to kill all three of us. Or number three... He’s Nazgûl, Fell Rider. «Lord Of The Rings»... Brilliant film.

& Jesse: If you say «Gandalf», I’m going to hit you.

& Fiore: The cowboy isn’t a man... at all.

& Fiore: I don’t know what happened to me. I used to be happy. Until I came to this place, this Earth, all I knew was peace. But now?...

& Jesse: How long is this «crack» gonna take?
    Cassidy: 2 hours 45 minutes.

& Jesse: We keep going. We keep looking for Him. .... Things He has to answer for are piling up by the minute.

& Tulip: Jesse Custer... that was the worst marriage proposal I ever heard.


& Cassidy: Your basic ingredients here... Heroin, rock cocaine, lemon juice, mineral water. Tap water these days? Who knows what’s in it? You know what I mean?

& Cassidy: Here it is, mate. Nice, huh?... Okay, less heroin.

& Frank: Cannons and saws and blowing your brains out? Savages. Animals.
    Jesse: People like violence.

& Frank: No, I get it. I get it. I like a good stabbing myself now and again. But don’t forget the music. Whatever it is, no matter the question, music’s your answer. Maim and kill till you’re blue in the face for all I care. But in the end... you gotta remember the music.
    Jesse: He came for the jazz...

& Jesse: It’s that bad? Hell?

& Tulip: You know what? You were right about marriage. It’s stupid.
    Jesse: But you’re the one that said that.
    Tulip: Well, then, I’m right.

& Fiore: I never met God myself, but I hear good things... mostly.

& Fiore: Where will you go next?
    Jesse: We’re gonna follow the music.

& Jesse: So far, we don’t know much about God. What He looks like, who He knows, why He left... All we really know is He likes jazz.

& Jesse: If God likes jazz, what better place to look for Him than...
    Tulip: New Orleans.
    Jesse: New Orleans.

& Alex: Scared? About which thing? There are so many options.

& Mikhail: It’s like our... our version of Santa, but instead of not getting gifts if you don’t behave, you’ll be torn apart alive.

& Bryan: Hey... What do you say, you and I, we choose to trust each other? I could really use someone to trust.

& Bryan: I don’t know what I am.
    Mia: How Zen.

& Kevin: A person ready to do a bad thing is not the worst to have around at the moment.


& Nathalie: I’m not going to my house. I’m going home. My home is with him... Goodbye.
    Mikhail: But you’ll die.
    Nathalie: I have no business being alive.

& Kyle: Whoever endangers the group is thrown out of the mall.

& Nathalie: Did you know that if the bees die, humanity will only have four years left?


& Nathalie: Oh, Kevin, you’re smarter than that. There is no spirit. There’s just nature. There’s here and not here. He is not here.

& Link: I’ve just been thinking a lot about Revelations.
    Father Romanov: I think we should think less and pray more.

& Nathalie: We actually had money, but we never stopped drinking cheap wine. Benedict didn’t want to forget those days when we were young and had the world in our pocket... and neither do I.

Стивен Кинг — Билли «Блокада»; Мистер Симпатяшка

Лавка дурных снов (сборник)


Билли «Блокада»

“цитаты
  “Уильям Блейкли?
О господи, вы хотите сказать, Билли «Блокада». ...
&  Мой совет вам, мистер Кинг — вы меня о нём не просили, но я всё равно вам его дам — не доживайте до старости, а коли случится дожить — не позволяйте вашей родне упрятать вас в подобный Зомби Отель.

&  Забавная штука — старение. Когда ты молод, люди всегда готовы слушать твои истории, особенно, если ты был в профессиональном бейсболе. Но когда ты молод, у тебя нет времени рассказывать их. А теперь в моём распоряжении всё время мира, но никому, похоже, нет дела до тех давних дней. Но мне по-прежнему нравится вспоминать о них.
  ... Не как в былые дни, но все равно даем жару.”


Мистер Симпатяшка


&  Как и дерьмо, перемены случаются.
“цитаты
  “Дэйв Калхаун помогал Ольге Глуховой собирать Эйфелеву башню. ...
&  Жизнь — прекрасная штука, но когда живешь слишком долго, устаешь раньше, чем она закончится.

&  Жизнь — короткая книжная полка с двумя подпорками по краям.

&  Некоторые люди страдают удивительно стойкими иллюзиями.

&  Задача памяти — не только возвращать прошлое, но и придавать ему блеск.
  ... — Просто что-то в глаз попало. Уже прошло. Попроси-ка счет, а? Я устал и готов ехать обратно.”

The Gun

Grace and Frankie 3×5


& Grace: I just shot that... What is that thing? A dummy?
    Frankie: The politically correct term is «decoy.»

& Grace: I mean, you have to admit, that is very impressive. Shooting someone between the eyes, from behind, in the dark.

& Grace: Frankie, I have had that gun for 15 years. I have had it at the beach house this whole time. You didn’t care when you didn’t know about it. Why can’t you just go back and not know about it?


& Mrs. Hanson: I don’t know. I suppose it seems a little... self-indulgent not even to be able to turn your own pages. I’d miss the feeling of earning my pleasure.

& Mrs. Hanson: You were always a selfish boy. Now, I see you’ve grown into a selfish man.

Preacher 2×1


& Cassidy: 70 million circumcisions every year... That they report! And that’s just in this country. Think about that.
    Tulip: You know what, Cassidy? I don’t want to.
    Cassidy: 70 million baby boys’ foreskins, right, severed, harvested, piled up, shoveled into bloody warehouses, and you don’t want to know what they’re using them for.
    Tulip: Who’s the «they,» Cassidy?
    Cassidy: The oligarchs. It’s big business.

& Tulip: This is such a bad song.
    Cassidy: Shite.

& Jesse: You... Gas up our car. You... Mace your balls. You two, hold hands. And, you... Recite «The Yellow Rose of Texas.»

& Tulip: Nah, I don’t like that.
    Jesse: Like what?
    Tulip: That thing of yours...

& Tulip: «Superpower.» Please. No offense to our superhero and his superpower, but maybe we just showed up at the wrong place at the wrong time. We’re in Texas. They pretty much grow dumbass crazy here.

& Tulip: Unlucky start is all. That’s what it is.
    Cassidy: That’s what it is. It’s an unlucky start. Nothing but smoothish sailing from here on out, partner.

& Tulip: I’ma try not to exaggerate here, Cassidy, but out of all the stupid things you’ve ever said, that is the stupidest.


& Tulip: Sure, Jesse’s got sides to him... A good side, a fun side, the boring Bible side... But... he’s got a whole other side, a deep-down side.

& Tulip: Can I ask a question that isn’t about the dog and the different rooms?
    Jesse: She wants to know about the girl.
    Mike: Well, parishioners need help with their urges... Drugs, sex, Twitter. They come to me.
    Tulip: So, someone comes to you for help, and you put them in a cage?
    Mike: A covered cage. That’s right. To curb their urges.

& Jesse: I’m afraid I have some bad news.
    Mike: Obviously. Okay. Spit it out.
    Jesse: It’s about God...
    Mike: Come on. There’s whiskey.

& Tulip: Mesopotamia? Where’s that?
    Cassidy: I don’t know, but it sounds like just the thing, doesn’t it?

& Mike: Books? You call Heaven on an angel phone to discover God’s gone to roam the Earth. What book is that exactly?

& Mike: Look, I’m sorry. I know you had your hopes up. But that’s why there’s whiskey.

& Mike: Just say your prayers like I told you! No one wants to see photos of a sick girl in a dark cage!
    Cassidy: I think you’d be surprised, actually, Mike.

& Mike: That Internet is a soul-killer. Stay clear of it if you can.

& Cassidy: I think this is just a cover... Hide-in-plain-sight kind of thing. Outside, it’s a strip club. Inside, old chaps wearing robes, smoking bloody pipes and that... Or, even better, it’s just a normal strip club.

& Jesse: We’re looking for God.
    Tammy: ... Aren’t we all?

& Tammy: God didn’t come for the girls, you idiot. He came for the jazz.

& Tulip: What the hell were you thinking?
    Cassidy: You can touch the girls for three seconds, and everybody knows it! It’s industry standard! There’s a three-second rule!
    Tulip: That’s for food, Cassidy.

    Jeremiah: The craftsmanship that went into this piece here... a goddamn work of art. You think you can do better than that?

Game of Thrones 7×1


& Lord Frey: I’ve gathered every Frey who means a damn thing so I can tell you my plans for this great house now that winter has come. But first, a toast!

& Lord Frey: No more of that Dornish horse piss! This is the finest Arbor gold! Proper wine for proper heroes! Stand together!

& Lord Frey: ...you didn’t slaughter every one of the Starks. No, no, that was your mistake. You should have ripped them all out, root and stem. Leave one wolf alive and the sheep are never safe.

& Arya: When people ask you what happened here... tell them the North remembers. Tell them winter came for House Frey.

& Brandon: You were at the Fist of the First Men. You were at Hardhome. You’ve seen the Army of the Dead. You’ve seen the Night King. He’s coming for us. For all of us.

& Jon Snow: Everyone aged 10 to 60 will drill daily with spears, pikes, bow and arrow... Not just the boys. We can’t defend the North if only half the population is fighting.

& Jon Snow: Last time we saw the Night King was at Hardhome. The closest castle to Hardhome is Eastwatch-by-the-Sea.
    Tormund: Then that’s where I’ll go. Looks like we’re the Night’s Watch now.

& Jon Snow: That is my decision, and my decision is final.

& Sansa: You’re good at this, you know... At ruling.
    Jon Snow: No.
    Sansa: You are. You are. They respect you, they really do, but you have to... Why are you laughing?
    Jon Snow: What did father used to say? Everything before the word «but» is horse shit.

& Sansa: You have to be smarter than Father. You need to be smarter than Robb. I loved them, I miss them, but they made stupid mistakes, and they both lost their heads for it.
    Jon Snow: And how should I be smarter? By listening to you?
    Sansa: Would that be so terrible?


& Sansa: You’re the military man, but I know her. If you’re her enemy, she’ll never stop until she’s destroyed you. Everyone who’s ever crossed her, she’s found a way to murder.
    Jon Snow: You almost sound as if you admire her.
    Sansa: I learned a great deal from her.

& Jaime: [Father] ... made me memorize every damn city, town, lake, forest, and mountain.
    Cersei: It’s ours now. We just have to take it.

& Cersei: Enemies to the east. Enemies to the south... Ellaria Sand and her brood of bitches. Enemies to the west... Olenna, the old cunt. Another traitor. Enemies to the north. Ned Stark’s bastard has been named King in the North and that murdering whore Sansa stands beside him. Enemies everywhere. We’re surrounded by traitors.

& Jaime: We need allies. Stronger, better allies. We can’t win this war alone.
    Cersei: You think I listened to Father for 40 years and learned nothing?

& Jaime: The Greyjoys?

& Archmaester: Everyone in the Citadel doubts everything. It’s their job.

& Archmaester: We’re not like the people south of the Twins. And we’re not like the people north of the Twins. In the Citadel, we lead different lives for different reasons. We are this world’s memory, Samwell Tarly. Without us, men would be little better than dogs. Don’t remember any meal but the last, can’t see forward to any but the next. And every time you leave the house and shut the door, they howl like you’re gone forever.

& Tormund: You’re a lucky man...

& Arya: Boy or girl?
    Lannister Soldier: Oh, who knows? You think soldiers get ravens with news from home? I hope it’s a girl.
    Arya: Why?
    Lannister Soldier: Girls take care of their papas when their papas grow old. Boys just go off to fight in someone else’s wars.

& Lannister Soldier: So, why is a nice girl on her own heading to King’s Landing?
    Arya: I’m going to kill the queen.

& Thoros: You’re a grouchy old bear, aren’t you, Clegane? You want some rum?
    Clegane: Don’t like that shit. It’s too sweet.
    Thoros: Why are you always in such a foul mood?
    Clegane: Experience.

& Beric: I don’t know. I don’t understand our Lord.

    Beric: I don’t know what He wants from me. I only know that He wants me alive.
    Clegane: If he’s so all-powerful, why doesn’t he just tell you what the fuck he wants?

& Clegane: It’s my fucking luck I end up with a band of fire worshippers.
    Beric: Aye.

& Clegane: We ask the Father to judge us with mercy. We ask the Mother to... Fuck it, I don’t remember the rest.

Герман Вук еще жив

“цитаты
  “Бренда выигрывает в лотерею 2700 долларов и не поддается первому искушению. ...
&  Стоит только в жизни наступить светлой полосе, как кто-то включает дождевальную установку. Светлые полосы хрупки и недолговечны.

&  В таком возрасте — преклонном, но еще не предельно — ты берешь все, что можешь, и радуешься, получая хотя бы самую малость.

&  А потом они выпьют и закусят, беседуя о милости Божьей и о том, что на все есть своя причина. Божественное милосердие — очень благодатная тема для разговора. Эта концепция незыблема, пока дело не дошло до тебя.

&  Вы знаете, каково это — действительно испугаться, правда? Такое ощущение, что сердце останавливается, язык прилипает к нёбу, кожа холодеет, мурашки бегут по всему телу. Плавное движение шестеренок в голове сменяется безумным вращением, и весь двигатель перегревается.

House of Cards 5×5

Chapter 57


& Underwood: You see, my feeling is, I think the Founding Fathers, they just got tired. And really, can you blame them? I mean, you can’t think of everything. Black swans, Murphy’s Law... I mean, at a certain point, you just have to sign off and cross your goddamn fingers and hope for the best.
Or adopt «flipism,» a pseudo-philosophy of life in which the most important decisions are made by the flipping of a coin...

& Underwood: It was first introduced in the Disney comic book Flip Decision, one of my favorites, in which Donald Duck is persuaded by Professor Batty to make all the most important decisions based on the flipping of a coin. «Life is but a gamble. Let flipism guide your ramble.»

& Underwood: .... One person, one vote. But if there’s a tie... and this is where Donald Duck comes in, it’s resolved... by the toss of a coin. A solution that’s elegant as hell. But then there’s no elegance in modern politics. It’s mostly hell.

& Underwood: The identity of the next President of these United States is once again in the hands of a bunch of self-serving, money-hungry, boot-licking, power-seeking politicians who can be seduced or sucker punched or blackmailed into submission. And all I need is just one more vote than the other guy.

& Underwood: As you can see, the Founding Fathers didn’t plan for this. But I did. Meet your new daddy.

& LeAnn: So do you want the good news or the bad news first?
    Claire: Always the bad.


& Underwood: I think people underestimate... the importance of detail... to the overall impact.

& Congressman Romero: There’s a story that I love about LBJ. Uh, it was back in ’64 or ’65. A congressman was ducking him... and he came back to his office to find the president sitting in his chair... waiting for him.
    Doug: The president expects to see you within the hour.... He was wearing his cowboy hat.
    Romero: What?
    Doug: President Johnson. You left out the best part of the story.

& Romero: Our movement wants to explode things...
    Underwood: Oh, please. Spare me your progressive PR bullshit. You want what they all want. Access. A better seat at the table. Your name before the rest. And that is something that I can give you.

& Underwood: I believe in you, Congressman. Do you wanna know why?
    Romero: Tell me.
    Underwood: Because I trust ambition.
    Romero: So this is a straight-up bribe.
    Underwood: Oh, no, Congressman. A bribe is something you can refuse.

& Louise: I want a woman in the White House. And if she has to start as a vice president, fine. But it’s time. It’s time.

& Conway: I... I’m the president. I don’t care what they say, I... I’m fucking President of the United States.
    Usher: No, you’re not. The vice president will be acting president for as long as it takes the House to decide.

& Holtzmann: I want to make a toast... Physics is the study of the movement of, uh, bodies in space, and it can unlock the mysteries of the universe. But it cannot answer the essential question of what is our purpose here. And, to me, the purpose of life is to love. And to love is what you have shown me. I didn’t think that I would ever really have a friend until I met Abby, and then I feel like I have a family of my own. And I love you.

& Kevin: Ghostbusters. Please give a detailed description of your apparition... Mmm-hmm. Well, that sounds like an illusional meta-physious, spectro-mian... Mmm. Mmm-hmm. I’m talking like you guys.

& Erin: What is this for?
    Holtzmann: It catches ghosts and it transports them somewhere else. I don’t know where, uh, but I have a feeling it’s Michigan.

& Holtzmann: I call it the nutcracker.
    Erin: Oh, ’cause it crushes the ghost.
    Holtzmann: No, it’s for walnuts.
    Erin: Smart.

& Petty: I heard something really weird. What’s «zuul»?

Grace and Frankie 3×4


& Grace: What do you say we try to get some work done?
    Frankie: I’d love to, but I’m kind of swamped tonight.
    Grace: Is that what you call needing to catch up on Ray Donovan?

& Frankie: Now, you can watch with me, but just remember, the rules are: No talking about how handsome Liev Schreiber is during the show...
    Grace: Really? You think he’s handsome?
    Frankie: Yes, he’s handsome! I mean, he’s not not-handsome... Now, Grace, that’s exactly the kind of conversation you save for after the show!

& Frankie: Grace, do you have the TV?

& Grace: Oh, unbelievable! My homeowner’s insurance doesn’t cover laptops and this one doesn’t insure anything except her geodes.


& Officer Torres: Now, is it just the two of you alone in the house?
    Grace: Why? Do you think they could come back? Because all there is is little old me and this dusty bag of elbows!

& Sol: Try putting a hot compress on her head. That always helps calm her down.
    Grace: The same hot compress she puts down her pants? Pass.
    Sol: Did you at least rub her sternum?
    Grace: I tried, but she kept moaning and it... confused me.
    Sol: Did you pull her pinky toes?
    Grace: Same answer there, Sol.

& Frankie: Okay, let’s hit the hay. You want right side or left? I call middle.
    Grace: Oh, you’ve got to be kidding.

Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown

& Iván: How many men have you had to forget?
    Pepa: As many as the women you remember.


& Pepa: Follow that cab!
    Taxista: I thought this only happened in the movies.

& Carlos: What happened?
    Pepa: Nothing. She fell asleep.
    Candela: So suddenly?
    Pepa: The strangest things can happen suddenly. You should know, Candela. It’s true.


& Portera Testiga de Jehová: Sir, I’m a Jehovah’s Witness and cannot tell lies. Only the truth, and nothing but the truth.
    Iván: But if she doesn’t ask...
    Portera: If she asks, I have to tell the gospel truth... I’d like to lie! The bad thing about my religion is... that we can’t.

& Policía II: Chief, this stuff has been spiked.
    Policía I: What’s in the gazpacho?
    Pepa: Tomatoes, cucumbers... bell pepper, onion... one garlic clove... oil, salt, vinegar... some day-old bread, and water. The secret’s in mixing it right. Iván loves the way I mix it. I made it for him.

& Pepa: That lady is dangerous.
    Taxista: No lady’s dangerous if you know how to handle her.

& Ana: I’m gonna get myself some quick cash, buy myself his bike and split. With a bike, who needs a man?
    Pepa: Learning mechanics is easier than learning male psychology. You can figure out a bike, but you can never figure out a man.

Айн Рэнд — Гимн (3/3)


&  В храме своей души человек одинок. И пусть храм каждого останется нетронутым и неоскверненным. Пусть человек протянет руку другому, когда захочет, но только не переступив этот святой порог.
     А слово "мы" люди смогут употреблять, только когда захотят, и с великой осмотрительностью. И никогда это слово не будет главным в душе человека, ибо завоевав нас, это слово становится монстром, корнем зла на земле, корнем мучений человека человеком и неслыханной ложью.
     Слово "мы" — гипс, вылитый на людей. Оно застывает и затвердевает, как камень, и разрушает все вокруг. И черное и белое становится серым. С помощью этого слова грязные крадут добродетель чистых, слабые — мощь сильных, слабоумные — мудрость умнейших.
     Что есть моя радость, если любые, даже грязные пальцы могут потрогать ее? Что есть моя мудрость, если даже дураки могут приказывать мне? Что есть моя свобода, если даже бесталанные и слабые — мои хозяева? Что есть моя жизнь, если я ничего не могу, кроме как кланяться, соглашаться и подчиняться? Но я покончил с этой гибельной верой. Я покончил с монстром "мы" — словом рабства, воровства, несчастья, фальши и стыда.
     И вот я вижу лицо бога, и я возношу его над землей. Бога, которого человек искал с тех пор, как люди начали существовать. Этот бог даст нам радость, мир и гордость. Этот бог — "Я".


&  И придет день, когда я разобью все цепи на земле и сотру с ее лица города рабов, и мой дом станет столицей мира, где каждый человек будет волен существовать во имя свое.
     Я буду бороться за то, чтобы наступил этот день. Я, мои дети и избранные друзья. За свободу человека. За его право. За его жизнь и честь. И здесь, над воротами моей крепости, я высеку в камне слово, которое станет моим маяком и знаменем. Слово, которое не умрет, даже если мы все погибнем в битве. Слово, которое не может умереть на земле, потому что оно есть ее сердце, смысл и слава.
  ... Это священное слово — EGO.”

& Mr. Hart: Doralee... About my conduct in the office here yesterday... I’m afraid I got a little carried away. I’d like to apologize to you.
    Doralee: I’ve been chased by swifter men than you, and I ain’t been caught yet.

& Mr. Hart: You know, you mean so much more to me than just a dumb secretary...

& Doralee: I’ve told you before, I’m a married woman!
    Mr. Hart: I’m married too. That makes it perfect.

& Doralee: If you ever say another word about me or make another indecent proposal... I’m gonna get that gun and change you from a rooster to a hen with one shot! Don’t think I can’t do it!

& Doralee: What a rat.

    Judy: Why would they do such a nasty thing?
    Mr. Hart: I don’t know. I’m not such a bad guy.
    Judy: You’re a sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot.

& Violet: Who does he think he is? He’s a miserable, petty, two-bit dictator. Ordering me around like I’m a flunky... I hate myself for being such a nerd!
    Barbara: He does it to annoy you. Don’t let him get to you. Besides, the day is almost over.
    Violet: I tell myself the same thing. But I feel the pressure’s building. I can’t take much more. Something, somewhere, sometime, is gonna snap... and God help Mr. Hart, because I won’t be responsible for my actions... But right now, I’m calm. Perfectly calm.

& Violet: No need to get sarcastic.

& Mr. Hart: You can’t keep me here a week! I’m the boss. Don’t you think I might be missed at the office?...
    Doralee: Franklin Hart’s office... No, he's not here right now. Can I help you?

Айн Рэнд — Гимн (2/3)


&  Я есть. Я думаю. Я хочу.
     Мои руки. Моя душа. Мое небо. Мой лес. Это моя земля.
     Разве можно сказать больше? Это самые важные слова. Это ответ. Я стою здесь, на вершине горы. Я поднимаю руки, развожу их в стороны. Это мое тело и моя душа. Наконец я понял. Мы хотели осмыслить все это. Я и есть этот смысл. Мы хотели найти оправдание своему существованию. Но оправдание — я сам. Мне не нужно ни оправдания, ни одобрения. Мои глаза видят, и они дарят миру красоту. Мои уши слышат, и в них звучит песня. Мой мозг думает, и только он будет тем лучом, который осветит правду. Моя воля выбирает, и выбор ее — единственный мне указ, единственное, что я уважаю.
     Многие слова открыты мне. Многие из них мудры, другие лживы, но только три святы: "Я хочу этого".
     Какой бы дорогой я ни шел, путеводная звезда во мне, и звезда и компас, они укажут мне ее, укажут мне дорогу к самому себе. Не знаю, есть ли земля, на которой я стою, — сердце вселенной или только пушинка, затерянная в вечности. Не знаю и не думаю об этом.
     Ведь я знаю, что счастье возможно для меня на земле. И моему счастью не нужно высокой цели для оправдания себя. Оно — не средство для достижения цели. Оно и есть цель.
     И я не есть средство для достижения целей других. Я не служу ничьим желаниям. Я не бинт для их ран. Я не жертва нa их алтарях. Я человек. Этим чудом своего существования владею лишь я, лишь я его охраняю и использую, только я преклоняюсь перед ним.
     Я не отдам своих богатств, не разделю их ни с кем. Сокровище моей души не будет разменяно на медные монеты и разбросано ветром, как подаяние. Я охраняю свои богатства: мысли, волю, свободу. Величайшее из них — свобода.
     Я ничем не обязан своим братьям, и у них нет долга передо мной. Я никого не прошу жить ради меня, но и сам живу только для себя. Я не домогаюсь ничьей души, но и не хочу, чтобы кто-нибудь домогался моей. Я не враг и не друг братьям, нищим духом. Чтобы заслужить мою любовь, братья должны сделать еще кое-что кроме того, что родиться. Я не отдаю любовь просто так, и никто, случайно захотевший ее, не получит моей любви. Я вручаю людям свою любовь как великую честь. Но честь надо заслужить.

Somebody to Love

Fargo 3×10


& V.M. Varga: That’s right. Just a few more. We’re nearly done here.

& Gloria: Say that name again.
    Dollard: Uh, V.M. Varga? I’m not sure what the «V.M.» stands for.
    Gloria: Don’t move. I’ll be right there.

& Nikki: Two hearts, three clubs, four spades, five no trump.

& V.M. Varga: You should be happy, Mr. Stussy. Your first action item is complete. The accumulation of wealth.

& Emmit: I’m just so tired.
    V.M. Varga: It’s perfectly natural. You see it all the time in the wild. The smaller animal going limp in the jaws of the larger. Genetic instinct. At some level, food knows it’s food.

& V.M. Varga: Are you a fan of progress, Mr. Stussy? Technology?.. You know, in the old days, only the strong were rich. It was all a question of how much you could carry. But then the Medicis invented banks, and wealth and pornography. This is what drives innovation.

& Gloria: It was her... Connecting the dots, Nikki Swango.
    Winnie: Why would she?
    Gloria: They killed her man.

& Nikki: Are you as low as you can go?
    Emmit: What?
    Nikki: I asked if you still feel you’ve got room to fall, or whether this is bottom.

& Nikki: He’s a kitten now, Ray. In case you were wondering.

& Nikki: «Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, sayeth...»
    Emmit: What?
    Nikki: «Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, sayeth...»


& Gloria: And I wanna say more, I do, but there’s violence to knowing the world isn’t what you thought. And you’re just a boy...
    Nathan: I’m 13 now.
    Gloria: You’re still a boy. You’ve got your whole life to be grown, only a few more years to be young.

& Gloria: For now, just know that sometimes the world doesn’t make a lot of sense. But how we get through it is, we stick together. Okay?

& V.M. Varga: Ah, the nation state defending its borders. And me, a simple salesman.
    Gloria: What do you sell, Mr...
    V.M. Varga: Rand. Daniel. I sell accounting software.

& V.M. Varga: Are you familiar with the Russian saying, «the past is unpredictable»?

& V.M. Varga: Pitchfork peasants.
    Gloria: What?
    V.M. Varga: I said, it is a dangerous world for men of standing. Human beings, you see, have no inherent value other than the money they earn. Cats have value, for example, because they provide pleasure to the humans. But a deadbeat on welfare? Well, they have negative value. So, ipso facto, Emmit’s death is more tragic than the death of a wasteling.
    Gloria: That’s... You can’t believe that.
    V.M. Varga: Oh, it’s true. It’s true whether I believe it or not.

& Gloria: I’m gonna go home to my son, it’s his birthday tomorrow. I promised I’d take him to the state fair. You ever guess a pig’s weight? Or eat a deep fried Snickers bar? There’s no better way to spend a Saturday in this, our great American experiment.

& V.M. Varga: Agent Burgle. Gloria. Trust me. The future is certain. And when it comes, you will know without question, your place in the world. Until then, we’ve said all there is to say. Any further debate would be simply wasting our breath. And if there’s one thing I can’t abide, it’s waste. Goodbye.

We have to hold their sticky fingers and wipe their filthy mouths. Teach them right from wrong. Tell them what to think and how to feel and what to want. They even need help writing their wildest dreams, crafting their worst fears. Lucky for them... they have me... they have you.

    Kim: You figured it out.
    Jimmy: Yeah. But I really, really don’t wanna do it.

& Jimmy: So, uh, what’s left?

& Jimmy: Because no senior’s coming within 20 feet of me ever again. I’m gonna need a whole new business model when I get my license back.

Spyhunter General

TURN 4×1


& Arnold: Print this! By order of Lord Clinton, I have been appointed Spy Hunter General, and have been tasked to arrest hidden traitors to the Crown. Their names will be made known, and they will learn to fear mine!

& Washington: No. I will not lower us to assassination. He must be captured alive and returned to camp... We must make a public example of him.

& Mary: It could be done... The officers, they move much slower after a night of heavy drinking. Such as banquet thrown in their honor.

& Woodhull: Wakefield is just doing his duty. As are his men who you would have slaughtered.
    Abraham: Slaughtered? They’re not sheep, they’re soldiers. And they’re on the wrong side. You’re in the war now, Father. This is how it’s done.


& Benjamin: I’ll speak to them. I’ll put an end to that.
    Anna: Don’t, please. As long as they think I’m... That we are...
    Caleb: Knocking?

& — Washington and glory!

& Abraham: Why didn’t you tell me about your plan?
    Woodhull: Because I was playing it against you.
    Abraham: Well, you’ll be pleased to know I learned a thing or two.
    Woodhull: When the consequence of today rears its head, then we’ll know what we’ve learned.

& Arnold: Brewster. His name is... Brewster!

Айн Рэнд — Гимн

“цитаты
  “Писать такое — грех. Грех — думать слова, которые не думают другие, и записывать их на бумагу, которую не должны видеть другие. Это низко и порочно. Это все равно что разговаривать, чтобы никто не слышал. Мы хорошо знаем, что нет страшнее преступления, чем действовать или думать в одиночестве. Мы нарушили закон, потому что никому нельзя писать, если на то нет повеления Совета по Труду. Да простят нам это! ...
&  Мы стараемся быть похожими на братьев — все люди должны быть похожими. На мраморных воротах Дворца Мирового Совета высечены слова, которые мы повторяем про себя всякий раз, когда нас одолевает искушение:
     "Мы во всем, и все в нас. Нет людей, есть только великое Мы. Единственное, неделимое, вечное".
     Мы повторяем эти слова снова и снова, но это не помогает.


&  Мы вставали с боем большого колокола на башне и ложились спать, когда он бил во второй раз. Перед сном нас собирали в большом зале, где, подняв правую руку, мы хором повторяли за учителями: "Мы — ничто. Человечество — все. По милости наших братьев даны нам наши жизни. Мы существуем благодаря нашим братьям и только для них. Ибо они и есть Государство. Аминь".
     Затем мы ложились.

&  Большой грех — родиться с головой, которая слишком быстро соображает. "Плохо быть не такими, как братья, но быть выше их еще хуже".

&  — Мы поем потому, что счастливы, — ответили мы члену Совета Дома, упрекнувшему нас.
     — Конечно же, вы счастливы, — ответил он. — Какими же еще могут быть люди, когда живут ради братьев?

Come to Jesus

American Gods 1×8


& Mr. Nancy: This is all too big. Too much going on at once.

& Mr. Nancy: .... When the queen was done with you... you were gone. Worse ways to go... Clothes and hair change with the times, but this queen, ha-ha, she kept the party going.

& Mr. Nancy: Our queen’s power... which is the power of all women, the power of rebirth, and creation... it makes some men kneel in awe and give gifts. But it makes other men angry. And you know it: Anger gets shit done.

& Mr. Nancy: So long as I’m still alive, I can adapt.

& Mr. Nancy: And there is no end to the cruelty of men threatened by strong women.

& Technical Boy: Worship is a volume business. Whosoever has the most followers wins the game... Wanna play?

& Mr. Nancy: Life is long when you got regret. A moment can last forever when you can see how it should have gone.

& Mr. Wednesday: We have to be presentable, where we’re going.

& Mr. Wednesday: You’re confused. You got a lot of questions, but you don’t know how to ask them. Do not confuse confusion for anger.
    Shadow Moon: I’m not confused. I’m very confused.

& Mr. Wednesday: We might not be welcome at first...

& Shadow Moon: Heh, forgot it was Easter.
    Mr. Wednesday: Well, it is Sunday, 16th of April, seven days after the vernal equinox.
    Shadow Moon: I love Easter.
    Mr. Wednesday: Oh, many do. Some for the rabbits, some for the resurrection. Most think of the food. All that fucking sugar, huh? They don’t think of the truth of the day. And why would they?

& Mr. Wednesday: Well, yeah, you could... you could call this Easter. Or we could call it what it really is: a pagan ritual, the celebration of the beginning of spring dating back about 12,000 years.

& Mr. Wednesday: So, when you see children dipping eggs in vinegar the colors of their favorite toys, or when you see the nation’s youth fleeing south for copulation, or when they spread their seed over that sinking mass that is the great state of Florida, they all... without realizing it do it in her name... Ostara.

& Shadow Moon: That’s... Easter? Because people... believe in Easter.
    Mr. Wednesday: Believing is seeing. Gods are real if you believe in them.
    Shadow Moon: .... Gods.
    Mr. Wednesday: Uh-huh.


& Shadow Moon: That’s Jesus Christ.
    Mr. Wednesday: A Jesus Christ. Some Jesus Christ. For every belief, every branch, every denomination they see a different face when they close their eyes to pray.

& Ostara: Well, I deal in sugar, Sugar, and you’re the sweetest damn thing I’ve ever seen.

& Mr. Wednesday: Millions upon millions exchange tokens and observe the rituals of your festival, all down to the hunting of the hidden eggs, but does anybody pray in your name? Do they say it in worship? Oh, they mouth your name, hmm, but they have no idea what it means. None whatsoever. Same every spring. You do all the work, he gets all the prayers.

& Mr. Wednesday: It’s her day. You took it. You crucified her day! When they started following you, everybody else got burned. In your name. Happy fucking Easter!

& Mr. Wednesday: Oh, they will worship you. They will... worship you if you make them pray.

& Technical Boy: You’ve been avoiding me. My mistake. I used the phone. Worst thing you can do to someone is call them.

& Laura: Jesus Christ. Are they all... Jesuses? Right, of course, ’cause... Jesus is real. Hmm.

& Ostara: You all think I’m like you. I am not like you. You, I’m particularly not like.

& Laura: Did, um... did Jesus go through his own apocalypse before you brought him back to life?
    Ostara: Oh, I didn’t bring Jesus back to life, no. He was dreamed back to life on my day. A very narrow sliver in that Venn diagram.

& Laura: I was killed... by a god? Which... fucking... god?!

& Media: Never saw you look quite so pretty before. Happy Easter, Easter.

& Laura: I swear to Jesus. He’s right outside.

& Mad Sweeney: It wasn’t a perfect plan. Didn’t account for divine intervention, did you?

& Laura: The whole fucking time, the robbery, Shadow going to jail, me dying, act of god? Just fucking with us to fuck with us?
    Mad Sweeney: What do you think gods do? They do what they’ve always done: they fuck with us. They fuck with all of us. Just don’t take it personally. I don’t.

& Media: You feel you’ve been treated unfairly?
    Ostara: I feel misrepresented in the media.
    Media: Put a pillow over that feeling and bear down until it stops kicking. St. Nick took the same deal you did. The only reason why you’re relevant today is because Easter is a Christian holiday... It’s religious Darwinism. Adapt and survive. What we have achieved together, you and I, is no small feat. Now that we’re living in an atheist world.

& Media: What happens if they all decide that God doesn’t exist?
    Mr. Wednesday: What if they decide God does exist?
    Media: Whose god? They’re not all going to choose just one.
    Mr. Wednesday: Well, it doesn’t matter. Plenty of worship to go around once worship gets redistributed.
    Media: We are the distributors. The platform and the delivery mechanism. We control the story. We control the flow.
    Technical Boy: We are the flow.
    Mr. Wednesday: What you offer is existential crisis aversion. Don’t look over there, look over here. Don’t listen to that, listen to this. You provide a product, an innovative distraction and you keep innovating it and you keep providing it. The beauty of what we do is we only need to inspire.

& Mr. Wednesday: Do you know me? Do you know what I am? Do you want to know my name?
    Shadow Moon: Tell me.
    Mr. Wednesday: This is what I am called. I am called Glad-O-War, Grim, Raider, and Third. I am One-eyed. I am also called Highest, and True-Guesser. I am Grimnir, and the Hooded One. I am All-Father, Gondlir, Wand-bearer. I have as many names as there are winds. As many titles as there are ways to die. My ravens are Huginn and Muninn. Thought and Memory. My wolves are Freki and Geri. My horse is the gallowed. I am... Odin!

& Laura: I’d like to have a word with my husband.
