Sons A Witches

South Park 21×6

Randy: Sup, witches?!

Chip: I got this spell book last month. Got it in Salem, Massachusetts. They say it's real.
Randy: Chip: Like, real how?
Chip: Like from the devil himself. You guys want to try it?..

Kyle: Dad, get outta here! We're trying to deal with an actual witch. Nobody's coming after you!
Gerald Broflovski: Yes, they are, boys! And next they'll be coming after you! 'Cause you're all little sons a witches.

Butters: Oh, uh, hello, Mr. President, how are you? How... How is running the country goin'?
Garrison: Oh, it's fine. You know, just making the country great again.
Butters: Did you get rid of all the immigrants like you said?
Garrison: I got rid of, like, six of 'em so far... You know it's little harder than I thought.
Butters: Cool, and did you build that big wall you were gonna build?
Garrison: Don't be a dick, Butters. Are you just calling to shit on my Halloween?

Eric: She was dressed kinda like me but had a simple Munich dirndl from Germany.
Rick: And you didn't stop at all to think that what you were doing might attract the witch?
Eric: Excuse me? Are you actually trying to blame the victim here?!
Rick: I'm just saying that if there's a big fat witch around, maybe you shouldn't walk through the woods dressed as Hansel and Gretel.

Garrison: You wanna see real power?.. All right, take the shot.

Randy: Don't wait up, Sharon! I'm gonna party with El Presidente.

American Horror Story. Cult

7×9

Kai: ...it's easy to get men to kill for you. Any asshole with enough money or a rank in the army can get men to do that. Real power is having people loyal enough to you that, if you ask them to, they will kill themselves. They will override their natural survival instinct in service of your needs and will.
Heart Attack: Wait, are we a cult? I thought we were a political movement.
Kai: All politics is a personality cult now, Heart Attack.

Kai: The left-wing propagandists at CNN and NBC have polluted our discourse with fake news. Pornography has desensitized our young men. We've lost a generation of moms to Candy Crush! This can't go unchecked.

Ivy: I just... I-I felt... I felt like I was out of control, like there was no boundary or structure to contain me or my feelings, and... I wanted someone to come in and say, "Do this. Go there. Believe in this. Care about that."
Ally: A daddy?
Ivy: I guess, yeah. It felt so good to take my hands off the wheel.

Winter: We have to run away. It's the only way. I found this on wikiHow...
Ally: "How to escape from a cult."
Winter: They lay out 14 steps, it's all in there.

Kai: Jim Jones said...
Ally: Oh, my...
Kai: "Death is not a fearful thing. It's the living that's cursed."

Kai: "This is not suicide. It's a revolutionary act. The world will be talking about us, forever..."

Kai: Why would I kill us? I'm running for Senate. And dead people can't vote. Except in Chicago.

Kai: I'm sure your mommies do the best they can, but... they're girls. They don't know what it's like to be you.
Oz: Every family is special in their own way.
Kai: Happy families are all alike. Every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way. Tolstoy.
Oz: Toy Story?

Ally: Ivy, you need to calm down. It's not good for your health. Come on. Sit down. Eat some food. Drink some wine...

Kai: Doubters get no cookies.

Kai: He's cute. Talks a lot. No filter.
Ally: Yeah. He can be a precocious little fucker.
Kai: Well, with a name like Ozymandius, kid's just begging to get the shit kicked out of him. Who came up with that?

It's the Great Pumpkin, Phil Dunphy

Modern Family 9×5

Haley: Dad, I really want to be excited for you, but Halloween? We're almost old enough to vote.

Claire: Oh, what, you're too old for a little scare?
Alex: The scariest thing is you could be a cheap pick-up line, two beers, and nine months away from being a grandparent, and you just risked asphyxiation in the fridge.

Haley: Mom, Dad? You and Halloween have had some great times together... But it's over. You're way too old, and it's hard to look at.

Phil: As families get older, you have two options... you can force everyone together, or you can accept that traditions die and people move on... Unless you happen to have a giant pumpkin.

&  — Дорогой Питер, люди так часто заблуждаются. Например, формула «Разделяй и властвуй». Ну, у неё есть какое-то применение. Но наш век изобрёл значительно более убедительную формулу: «Объединяй и властвуй».

&  — Я думаю, никто не вправе причинять боль другому, но и помочь сколько-нибудь существенно тоже не может.

&  — Продать душу легче всего. Большинство делает это ежечасно. Я попрошу тебя сохранить свою душу — ты понимаешь, что это намного труднее?

&  Кстати, это и есть сотрудничество, как я его понимаю... Каждый будет делать то, что он умеет лучше всего, и так честно, как может.

&  Рорку было стыдно, что у него смогло сформироваться такое мнение о человеке, чувство, лишённое даже намёка на уважение.
     Это жалость, подумал он и удивился. Ему пришло в голову, что в мире что-то неладно, если это ужасное чувство считается добродетелью.

&  ...газета постепенно, незаметно избрала определённое направление. На это ушло несколько лет. Он замечал лёгкое искажение фактов в рубрике новостей, полунамёки, двусмысленные аллюзии, странные эпитеты, непонятную расстановку акцентов, политические комментарии, данные некстати. Если речь шла о споре между работником и работодателем, факты подавались так, что виноватым всегда выходил работодатель, независимо от того, о чём был спор. Если говорилось о прошлом, то это обязательно было «наше тёмное прошлое» или «невозвратное прошлое». Если дело касалось чьей-то личной заинтересованности, она всегда была «эгоистическим побуждением» или «жадностью». В кроссворде могло встретиться определение «загнивающего индивидуума», и отгадкой было слово «капиталист».

Randy: Your grandpa is styling. Can you imagine being able to just sit around all day and not have to do anything but eat and watch TV?
Stan: Yeah, I'd probably go crazy and want to kill myself.

Vicky: Can I help you?
Eric: Oh, yes, hello. We are adorable children here to entertain old people.
Vicky: Didn't think we had anyone scheduled tonight... Are you with the Protestant youth group?
Eric: Yes, that's right. We are young prostitutes here to volunteer however we can.

&  — Я хочу сказать, что людей делает несчастными не ограниченность выбора, а неограниченный выбор. Решать, человек должен всегда решать, хотя его раздирают противоречия. В регулируемом обществе человек чувствует себя в безопасности. Никто не будет ему докучать, чтобы он что-то предпринимал. Ничего и не надо будет предпринимать, только, конечно, необходимо трудиться на благо общества.

&  — Для меня единственным моральным принципом является бескорыстие — самый благородный принцип, священный долг, значительно более важный, чем свобода. Бескорыстие — единственный путь к счастью. Я расстреляла бы всех противников этого принципа, чтобы не мучились. Они всё равно не могут быть счастливыми.

&  — Мы должны помогать другим. Это моральный долг идейного лидера. Я хочу сказать, что не следует рассматривать слово «принуждение» как пугало. То, что направлено на благо, то есть совершается во имя любви, не принуждение. Однако не знаю, как заставить страну понять это. Американцы такие ограниченные.
     Он не мог простить своей стране того, что, дав ему четверть миллиарда долларов, она отказала ему в соответствующей доле почитания. Окружающие с удовольствием принимали его чеки, но не принимали его взглядов на искусство, литературу, историю, биологию, социологию и метафизику. Он жаловался, что люди отождествляют его с его деньгами; он ненавидел людей, потому что они не распознали его сущности.

&  — Можно многое сказать в пользу принуждения. При условии, что оно будет планироваться демократическим путём. На первом месте всегда должно быть всеобщее благо, нравится нам это или нет.

&  — Ты владеешь каждым зданием, перед которым когда-либо останавливался.
     — В каком же смысле?
     — Когда ты останавливаешься перед вещью, которой восхищаешься, ты испытываешь только одно чувство — его можно выразить словом «да». Утверждение, приятие, знак сопричастности. И это «да» больше чем ответ этой одной конкретной вещи. Это всё равно что сказать «аминь» жизни, «аминь» земле, которая несёт эту вещь, той мысли, которая создала эту вещь, и себе, способному видеть её. Способность сказать «да» или «нет» лежит в основе всякого владения. Ведь это владение твоим собственным Я. Твоей душой, если хочешь. У души одно основное назначение — акт оценки. «Да» или «нет», «хочу» или «не хочу». Нельзя сказать «да», не сказав «Я». Нет утверждения без утверждающего. В этом смысле всё, на что устремлена твоя любовь, твоё.
     — В этом смысле мы делимся этой вещью с другими?
     — Нет. Это не означает делиться. Когда я слушаю любимую симфонию, я воспринимаю её иначе, чем замыслил композитор. Его «да» отличалось от моего. Ему дела не было до меня, он преследовал свои цели. Это «да» — оно сугубо личное для каждого человека. Но подарив себе то, что хотел, он подарил мне величайшее переживание.

&  Гейл Винанд сидел за столом в своём кабинете и читал корректуру передовицы ... Фразы, как жевательная резинка, жёваная-пережёваная, прокручивались снова и снова, переходили изо рта в рот, падали на мостовые, прилипали к подошвам сапог, отправлялись снова в рот и изо рта попадали в мозг...

&  «... Если верна старая легенда о том, что люди предстают перед верховным судией и дают отчёт в своих делах, я предъявлю как дело своей особой гордости не то, что совершил, а то, чего никогда не делал в этой жизни: я никогда не просил, чтобы решали за меня. Я предстану перед Ним и скажу: я Гейл Винанд, человек, совершивший все мыслимые преступления, кроме главного — я никогда не пренебрегал удивительным даром жизни и никогда не искал оправдания вовне. В этом моя гордость, потому что теперь, размышляя о кончине, я не плачусь, как люди моего возраста, — в чём же были смысл и цель моей жизни? Я сам, я, Гейл Винанд, был смыслом и целью. То, что я жил и действовал».

Valerie Solanas: Any man present must give a speech beginning with the words...
Bruce: I am a turd, a lowly, abject turd.

Bebe Babbitt: Couple-busting?

Winter: Hold on. David Faraday and Betty Lou Jensen? Those were the first victims of the Zodiac Killer. I've seen that Fincher movie, like, 50 times. It's my Baby Einstein.

Bebe Babbitt: Haven't you been listening, ingrate? That was Valerie's plan all along. We were the Zodiac.

Valerie Solanas: You men, so terrified of what we might do, you keep us stupid, you keep us complacent. You hold all the power. Even now, no one sees me as a writer, no one see me for my own thoughts. When they hear the name Valerie Solanas... they think "Andy Warhol." You've taken my art. You've taken my life. You've taken my motherfucking legacy!
Andy Warhol: Who are you kidding? Shooting me will be the only thing you'll be remembered for. I am your legacy.

Kai: Charisma got me in the door, but to take it to the next level, I need a philosophy, a mission statement, something they can put in the history books... preferably... With a catchy title.
Winter: So... you're gonna write a book?
Kai: No, I don't have time for that shit. I'm just gonna release something on social media. But... I was testing out titles like... SCUM. What do you think of FIT? Fear Is Truth. What about... MLWB? Men Lead... Women Bleed.

Ivy: Yeah. He deserves a victory party.
Harrison: Hey. You know what I want to make for him? The Iron Throne from Game of Thrones.

Айн Рэнд — Источник (11/20)

<< Ранее

&  — Я отдал бы самый красивый закат в мире за вид нью-йоркского горизонта. Особенно когда уже не видны детали. Только очертания. Очертания и мысль, которая их воплотила. Небо над Нью-Йорком и сделавшаяся осязаемой воля человека. Какая ещё религия нам нужна? А мне говорят о какой-нибудь сырой дыре в джунглях, куда идут поклониться разрушенному храму и скалящемуся каменному монстру с круглым животом, созданному поражённым проказой дикарём. Разве люди хотят видеть красоту и талант? Разве они ищут высокого чувства? Пусть они приедут в Нью-Йорк, станут на берегу Гудзона и упадут на колени. Когда я вижу город сквозь своё окно, нет, я не чувствую себя маленьким, но если всему этому будет угрожать война, я хотел бы взлететь над городом, чтобы своим телом защищать эти здания.

&  Ты же знаешь, как люди хотят стать бессмертными. Но они умирают с каждым прожитым днём. Они всегда уже не те, что при прошлой встрече. Каждый час они убивают какую-то часть себя. Они меняются, отрицают, противоречат — и называют это развитием. В конце концов, не остаётся ничего, ничего не пересмотренного и не преданного; как будто человек никогда не был цельной личностью, лишь последовательностью сменяющих друг друга определений. Как же они надеются на постоянство, которого не испытали ни разу в жизни?

&  — Всё очень просто. Когда факт, что некто есть не более чем пустое место и ничего более выдающегося не сделал, кроме как ел, спал и точил лясы с соседями, становится предметом гордости, изучения и всеобщего внимания со стороны миллионов читателей, тогда факт, что некто построил собор, перестаёт быть интересным и уже не заслуживает места в сознании людей. Это проблема относительного масштаба явлений. Допустимый предел максимального разброса двух сопоставимых фактов ограничен. Слуховое восприятие муравья не рассчитано на гром.

&  Сюжет был малоинтересным, банальным, но подтекст не мог не пугать.Тяжеловесные пустопорожние реплики, которыми текст пропитался, как сыростью, создавали какую-то особую атмосферу; она давала себя знать в ухмылках актёров, в вульгарных жестах, в хитроватом прищуре глаз и насмешливых интонациях. Малозначащие фразы подавались как откровение и нагло навязывались как глубокие истины. На сцене витал дух не невинного предубеждения, а намеренного вызова. Автор, похоже, хорошо знал свою цель и похвалялся властью навязывать зрителям свои представления о возвышенном и тем самым уничтожать в них способность к истинно возвышенному. Спектакль оправдывал мнение критиков: он веселил, как непристойный анекдот, разыгранный не на сцене, а в зрительном зале: словно с пьедестала столкнули божество, а вместо него водрузился не сатана с мечом, а уличный дебошир с бутылкой.

Amanda Knox

Nick Pisa: And we have here this beautiful, picturesque hilltop town in the middle of Italy. It was a particularly gruesome murder. Throat slit, semi-naked, blood everywhere. I mean... what more do you want in a story? I mean, all you're missing is maybe, I don't know, the Royal Family and the Pope or something like that as well.

Giuliano Mignini: I am Catholic. So I believe in two things that are hard to reconcile. That God runs the world. But also that man has free will... and must be held responsible for their actions.

Donald Trump: ... I think the president should get involved. I think people should boycott Italy. They shouldn't go to Italy.
Valter Biscotti: It bothered me that the American media lectured us about the law. This courthouse, in 1308, housed the first faculty of law in Europe. In America, in 1308, they were drawing buffalos in caves.

---

Nick Pisa: I know people keep saying "Trial by media, trial by media," but... I don't buy that. Maybe 'cause I'm a journalist so I don't go for that, but... I think now, looking back, some of the information that came out was just crazy, really, and just completely made up. But, hey, what are we supposed to do, you know? We are journalists and we are reporting what we are being told. It's not as if I can say, "Right, hold on a minute. I just wanna double check that myself in some other way." I mean, goodness knows how. And then I let my rival get in there first before me, and then, hey, I've lost a scoop. It doesn't work like that. Not in the news game.

The Wizard of Lies

Mark: How could you do this?
Bernie: I just couldn't stop...
Mark: Bullshit.
Bernie: It got bigger and bigger and it just wouldn't stop.
Mark: Bullshit.
Bernie: I didn't mean for it to get like this.

Bernie: I explained to them that it wasn't malicious. That when I started this problem, or... this crime, that it was something that I thought I would be able to work my way out of. But that became impossible. The harder I tried, the deeper I dug myself into a hole. But it comes down to one thing. I refused to accept the fact, could not accept the fact that for once in my life I had failed. I couldn't... I couldn't admit that failure.
Diana: And what was that failure?

FBI Agent: So you were making money off of the trades.
Bernie: There were no trades.
FBI Agent: What do you mean there were no trades?
Bernie: I made them up.
FBI Agent: Weren't there statements?
Bernie: Every month. They were fake. Purchase dates, they were fake. Shares, they were fake. Options, they were fake. Returns, they were fake.
FBI Agent: So when was the last trade you executed?
Bernie: ... Fifteen years ago.
FBI Agent: Who else knew?
Bernie: I acted alone.

Bernie: People here always ask me how come I never ran. But the truth is it didn't even occur to me. I guess it's because I never thought of what I was doing was stealing.
Diana: Well, it was a $65 billion Ponzi scheme. People lost their life savings, they lost their homes. Their lives were destroyed. You didn't think of that as stealing?

---

Diana: People felt safe with you. And yet, you were betraying them all.
Bernie: Well, but these people, you know, they had a little greed in them, too... and they didn't wanna look too hard. They looked just far enough. So they're accomplices in some way, too...
Diana: Accomplices because they trusted you?....
Bernie: Yeah, but there's a lack of honesty on their behalf, an unwillingness to take responsibility for their behavior...

Bernie: Now that I think of it... My greatest failure, or maybe it's my greatest weakness, is I've always wanted to please people. And that's... That's one that can get you into trouble.

Bernie: Why would you kill yourself?
Ruth: Because I'm tired of being hated. I don't even understand it.

Bernie: ... I gave you a fucking business to run. Are you not happy with that? Was that not good enough for you?
Mark: It is definitely good enough for me, Dad. I'm just trying...
Bernie: Well, then shut the fuck up and give me a little fucking gratitude! Say, "I'm... Thanks, Dad." Can't you do that?! What do you think? The whole fucking world owes you something? The whole fucking world owes you nothing! You gotta work for it, and I always say this with your mother. This is the problem with having money, an education. Nothing is earned. You want something, you gotta fucking work for it!

Judge Denny Chin: The message must be sent that Mr. Madoffs crimes were extraordinarily evil. This kind of irresponsible manipulation of the system takes a staggering human toll. Mr. Madoff will get what he deserves and will be punished according to his moral culpabilities.
    Mr. Madoff, please stand.
    It is the judgment of this court that the defendant, Bernard L. Madoff, shall be and hereby is sentenced to a term of imprisonment of 150 years. .... As a technical matter, the sentence must be expressed in months. 150 years is equivalent to 1,800 months.

Kate: If you don't think this looks good, you have to tell me.

Kate: You actually look like a young Bruce Willis.
Toby: Don't do that. You cannot tell a man who went bald at 25 that he looks like a young Bruce Willis. It's too much.

Toby: Do you know what the... sexiest thing about you is?... The sexiest thing about you is how sexy you make me feel.

Rebecca: It's complicated.
Randall: That's something people say when they don't want to tell the truth.

Rebecca: Our marriage wasn't perfect, it's true. But none are. And your father wasn't perfect, either. But he was pretty damn close. As close as they come.

William: Sometimes, in marriage, someone has to be the one to push to make the big moves.

&  — Значит, есть две вещи, от которых нельзя отказываться: собственные мысли и собственные желания?
     — Да!

&  — Говорят, худшее, что можно сделать с человеком, — это убить в нём самоуважение. Но это неправда. Самоуважение убить нельзя. Гораздо страшнее убить претензии на самоуважение.

&  — Большинство людей из кожи вон лезут, стараясь убедить себя, что они себя уважают.
     — Согласна.
     — И конечно, это стремление к самоуважению является доказательством его отсутствия.
     — Согласна.
     — Следовательно, вы понимаете, что означает стремление презирать самого себя.
     — То, что ничего у меня из этого не выйдет.
     — Никогда.

&  Быть честным — чрезвычайно жестокое дело.

&  — Нет, нет, вас этот бред определённо не собьёт с толку. Я имею в виду тезис, что свинья — символ любви к человечеству, ибо она приемлет всё. Честно говоря, человек, который любит всех и чувствует себя дома всюду, — настоящий человеконенавистник. Он ничего не ждёт от людей, и никакое проявление порочности его не оскорбляет.
     — Вы имеете в виду людей, которые говорят, что в худшем из нас есть частица добра?

&  — Нельзя любить человека, не презирая большинство тех созданий, которые претендуют на такое же определение. Одно или другое. Нельзя любить Бога и святотатство. Не считая случаев, когда человек не знает, что совершено святотатство. Потому что не знает Бога.

&  — Что вы скажете, если я отвечу, как обычно отвечали мне: любовь — это прощение?
     — Я отвечу, что это непристойность, на которую вы не способны, даже если считаете себя специалистом в подобных делах.
     — Или что любовь — это жалость.
     — О, помолчите. Достаточно дурно даже слышать это...
     — Так что же вы ответите?
     — Что любовь — это почтение, обожание, поклонение и взгляд вверх. Не повязка на грязных ранах... Тот, кто при всяком удобном случае говорит о любви, никогда её не испытывал. Они стряпают неаппетитное жаркое из симпатии, сострадания, презрения и безразличия и называют это любовью. Если вы испытали, что означает любить, как вы и я понимаем это: полнота страсти до высочайшей её точки — на меньшее вы уже не согласны. ... В этом нет прощения, нет жалости. ...если вы пытаетесь найти сияние величия, если вы хотите больших чувств, если вы требуете Бога и отказываетесь промывать раны вместо всего этого, вас называют человеконенавистником, миссис Китинг, потому что вы совершили преступление. Вы узнали любовь, которую человечество ещё не сумело заслужить.

You know, whenever that man had a... choice, a choice between doing the right thing and doing the wrong thing... he always broke the wrong way. Like clockwork. Wrong, wrong, wrong... Every single time. For me, you know... I... tried to go the other way. Be respectful to women, do my part in 'Nam, just be a good man. And look where it's gotten me... When am I gonna get my break, Darryl? When? You know, 'cause they just, they... they make this too hard, man. It's just too damn hard.

The me as I am right now, not the me that you've conjured up in your mind over the years... what do you love about me right now, Jack? So the next time you tell me that you love me, make sure you're not doing it just out of habit.

Jack: No, the kids are gonna be fine. We've shown them a healthy marriage. This is just gonna be a blip on their radar years from now. We're their parents, Bec. We do the best we can. But at the end of the day... what happens to them, how they turn out... that's bigger than us... Sometimes they'll make good decisions... Sometimes bad decisions... And every once in a while, they're gonna do something that's gonna knock us off our feet. Something that exceeds even our wildest dreams... Our kids are gonna be fine.

Jack: You asked me a question before. What is it that I love about you now.
Rebecca: Jack...
Jack: So I'm gonna start with the obvious. I love the mother that you are. I love that you are still the most beautiful woman in any room and that you laugh with your entire face. I love that you dance funny... and not sexy, which... makes it even sexier. But most of all, I love that you are still the same woman who, all those years ago, ran out of a blind date because she simply had to sing.
    You're not just my great love story, Rebecca. You... You were my big break. And our love story, I know it may not feel like it right now, but, baby... I promise, it's just getting started.

&  Самые прекрасные слова — это те, которых и произносить не надо.

Гейл Винанд отдал свою газету, всю без остатка, вкусам толпы. «Знамя» стало похожим на цирковую афишу по форме и цирковое представление по сути. Оно придерживалось и тех же принципов: развлекать и собирать дань с пришедших. Оно несло на себе отпечаток не одного, а миллионов людей.

     — Если вы направляете человека к благородной цели, это ему быстро наскучит. Если потакаете во всех пороках, ему будет стыдно. Но соедините то и другое — и он ваш. ... Сначала секс. Слёзы потом. Пусть они сначала попотеют, а потом дайте им поплакать — и они в ваших руках.

Doc: Then he don't sound that retarded to me. He's a good kid and a devil behind the wheel.

Griff: You can't just be in crime, right? Not without being a little criminal.

Debora: Sometimes all I want to do is head west on 20 in a car I can't afford with a plan I don't have. Just me, my music and the road.
Baby: I'd like that, too.

Bats: In this business, the moment you catch feelings... is the moment you catch a bullet.

Doc: So, what's it gonna be-- behind the wheel or in a wheelchair?

Baby: Are you here tomorrow?
Cashier: Sure am. Working 9:00 to 5:00, just like Dolly...
Baby: Dolly Parton. Yeah. I like her.
Cashier: Who doesn't? "Everybody wants happiness, nobody wants pain. But you can't have a rainbow without a little rain."

Bats: Look, here's the deal. You rob to support a drug habit. I do drugs to support a robbery habit.

Bats: ...You rack up debt, the type of debt that'd make a white man blush. Maybe you get into a little trouble. Maybe you get your hand caught in the corporate cookie jar. Maybe you leave and run off to the desert. Maybe with your favorite lap dancer in tow. Maybe you disappear into a world consisting of three things, money, sex, drugs and action... Shit, that's four. Am I close?

Doc: Bananas. "Bananas" is a code word. Whenever a deal is done with one of my clients, they call me on the phone and they say the word "bananas," and then they hang up. I did not hear the word "bananas" tonight. So you tell me who died.

Darling: This shit is bananas, Doc. B-A-N-A-N-A-S.

Buddy: You can't keep running, Baby! There's no escape!

Baby: Never. You and I are a team. I...
Doc: Don't feed me any more lines from Monsters, Inc. It pisses me off.

Doc: Well, there is some good news. The good news is you like driving, because you can't take your foot off the gas for the next 25 years.

Hit Me Baby

Life 2x16

Deepa: Please describe your service problem to me exactly.
Crews: My phone is supposed to sync up with my car, so I can talk hands-free. It’s against the law for me to hold my phone while I’m driving, and I would hate to break the law, because I’m— I’m kind of a cop.
Deepa: Kind of? I would think that either you are a cop or you’re not a cop.
Crews: I’m a cop.

Crews: A bird. A pigeon. It flew against the window, tried to get in. That means something, right? A bird in the house after a death?

Dani: Bleach and ammonia... Make chlorine.
Crews: Make chlorine.
Dani: Antifreeze in the wine and a broken broom handle.

Crews: It’s a new situation for you. I want you think of it like you’re building a building. You got to put in a good foundation, or everything you do after that is just gonna come tumbling down.
Dani: I’ll see you in a few weeks, Crews.

Crews: Oh, they grow up so fast, don’t they?

Tidwell: ..........
Crews: Reese usually starts. Maybe you could— Why don’t I just jump in?

Crews: Do you know what a derivative is?
Tidwell: A derivative is when you don’t invest in a thing, but you kind of invest in a thing like the thing you’re investing in.
Crews: Yeah, me neither.

Crews: Don’t you think this is weird?.. You know, just us two without Reese?

---

Bobby: That’s so wrong. You don’t pay a pro to stay. You pay her to leave.
Crews: ?
Bobby: Charlie Sheen said that.

Crews: Do you know what a derivative is?
Bobby: Sure, it’s the kind of investment where you’re really not, um... well, it’s—it’s—it’s— it’s when you’re, uh... no. No, no idea.

Ted: Yes, I-I know what a derivative is. It’s—it’s— it’s kind of hard to explain to a layperson.

Ted: ...it’s complicated. Okay, a derivative is a financial product whose value is derived from the value of something else, the underlying. Now, because the value of the derivative is contingent on the value of the underlying, the notional value of derivatives is recorded off the balance sheet, while the market value of derivatives is recorded on the balance sheet.
Crews: I don’t understand it.
Ted: Don’t feel bad. No one does.

Deepa: You need to have a technical issue if you wish to continue this call.
Crews: Okay, technically, don’t you think it’s amazing that I’m here in L.A., and you’re in, let’s say, India, giving me tech support for my phone made in China?

Crews: You ever meet the perfect girl?... When you were sober?

Crews: Antifreeze, ammonia, bleach, broom handle, cut phone cords...

Crews: Ammonia, antifreeze, bleach, a broom handle... nail polish.

Tidwell: A hit man?
Crews: Uh, woman. Hit man woman. Hit woman.
Bobby: A paid professional killer.

Dani: And you still don’t know why she killed Jerome Rafts?... Crews?.. You’re doing it, aren’t you? You’re staring at something... And now you’re taking out some fruit, right? What do you see, Crews?

Айн Рэнд — Источник (8/20)

<< Ранее

&  А кстати, что значит, по-твоему, быть порядочным человеком? Уметь противостоять желанию стащить часы из кармана соседа? Нет, проблема так просто не решается. Если бы всё сводилось к этому, девяносто пять процентов человечества были бы честными, порядочными людьми. Однако, как ты хорошо знаешь, процент намного ниже. Порядочность означает способность постоять за идею. А это предполагает способность мыслить. Мышление такая штука, что его нельзя одолжить или заложить.

&  — ...Но вернёмся к любви. Личная любовь, Питер, большое зло, как и всё личное. Она всегда ведёт к несчастью. Непонятно почему? Личная любовь — акт отбора, акт предпочтения. Это акт несправедливости против всех людей на земле, которых ты лишаешь своей любви, произвольно отдавая её кому-то одному. Надо равно любить всех. Но этого благородного чувства не достигнешь, не убив в себе мелкие эгоистичные предпочтения. Они порочны и пусты, так как противоречат основному мировому закону — закону изначального равенства всех людей.
     — Ты хочешь сказать, что в философском смысле, в глубинной своей основе все мы равны? Все без исключения?
     — Безусловно, — ответил Тухи.
     Китинг спрашивал себя, почему эта мысль так приятно греет ему душу. Его не смущало, что это приравнивало его к каждому карманнику, которых немало собралось в толпе... Эта мысль мелькнула у него подспудно — и ничуть его не смутила, — хотя идея полного равенства входила в явное противоречие со страстным стремлением к превосходству, которое подстёгивало его всю жизнь. Он отмахнулся от противоречия как от несущественного...

&  — Теперь ты видишь, как отлично действует забытый скандал. Нельзя ничего объяснить, защититься или оправдаться. Никто не будет тебя слушать. Заслужить репутацию трудно. Заслужив же, невозможно изменить. Нельзя погубить карьеру архитектора, доказывая, что он плох как профессионал. Но можно это сделать, убедив всех в том, что он, например, атеист, или был под судом, или спит с какой-нибудь женщиной, или любит отрывать крылышки у мух. Ты говоришь, это вздор? Конечно. Именно вздор и срабатывает. Можно пытаться опровергать разумные доводы, но как опровергнуть нелепицу? Ты, милая, как и многие, недооцениваешь бессмыслицу. В этом твоя слабость. А ведь она — движущая сила нашей жизни. Если бессмыслица против тебя — ты обречён. Но если ты можешь превратить её в союзника...

&  Толпа может простить что угодно и кого угодно, только не человека, способного оставаться самим собой под напором её презрительных насмешек.

The Damned

The Walking Dead 8×2

Morgan: I don't die.

Ezekiel: To our foe, then to his compound, then to certain victory.

Dean: You know how hard it is to piss yourself on purpose? I-It's like your dick knows you're wearing pants.

Tara: It's not about revenge. It's about getting it done.

Ezekiel: And yet I smile. Why? Do I feel the supreme confidence? Or is my lot, my job, to simply protect such certainty? No and yes. Yes and no. And then finally yes to both. Fake it till you make it, baby.

Tara: It's okay. We can do it the hard way. Because even if Maggie listens to you, Rick will listen to me.

Morgan: We came here to kill them! We're supposed to.
Jesus: They surrendered. It's not what we do.
Morgan: Then what do we do, huh?

What Now?

This Is Us 1×17

Kevin: We should just tell them that. We get 'em together, and we say, "Hey, family, you remember Sophie, right, my ex-wife? Well, we're dating exclusively..."

Beth: Well... I guess I'll cancel the caterer... and the flowers and the white doves.
Randall: You got white doves?
Beth: They don't make black ones, Randall.

Randall: I love you, Mom.
Rebecca: I love you more.
Randall: I love you m... no, no, I mean, I meant what I said, but I'm a grown-ass man and this is gonna cross a very weird line.
Rebecca: Fair enough.

Randall: I quit. No hard feelings, man. I walk out of here in triumph. I came, I saw... I conquered.

Into the Schwarzwald

Grimm 5×12

"What's past is prologue."
William Shakespeare, «The Tempest»

Monroe: I think... I think we need to think like them.

Monroe: Nothing personal, guys. Or gals.

Monroe: If this doesn't work, I'm busting out the freaking hacksaw!

Monroe: It's a stick?
Hank: Looks like a stick.
Wu: A really old stick.
Rosalee: It can't be just a stick!
Nick: Well, that's what it looks like.

---

Monroe: They wouldn't have buried a stick unless they were some kind of dog Wesen...
Hank: Maybe it's some kind of important stick that belongs to a bigger... piece of wood that means something to somebody.
Wu: Well, if it was a stick-mata... Sorry, that was a reach.
Rosalee: Maybe it's something like a stick from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil.
Hank: You're talking about the tree that Eve picked the apple from in the garden of Eden?
Nick: If that's the case, then we just flew halfway across the world and risked our lives for a stick that has screwed up all of humanity since the beginning of time.
Wu: Maybe that's why they buried it in the first place, 'cause the gates of hell are gonna open up and the world as we know it is gonna end.
Rosalee: On that thought, maybe you should put it back.
Nick: The last thing we want are the gates of hell opening up in Portland.
Hank: Seems like they already have.
