Ocean's Eight (2018)

Debbie Ocean: If I were to be released, I would just want the simple life. I just wanna hold down a job, make some friends, go for a walk after work in the fresh air and pay my bills.

Debbie: Well, I have 45 bucks, Dina. I can go anywhere I want.

Reuben: He didn't want you to do this, Deborah.
Debbie: Do what?
Reuben: Whatever it is he wouldn't tell us you're gonna do.

Reuben: Look, Deb. Sometimes, just knowing the job will work is satisfaction enough. You don't actually gotta do it.

Debbie: These are all Russians.
Lou: They're hackers.
Debbie: Are there no hackers who aren't Russian?
Lou: No, there's barely any Russians who aren't hackers.
Debbie: Just keep looking, please.

Debbie: How do you explain all this to your husband?
Tammy: eBay.

Constance: Is that your brother?
Debbie: Mm-hmm.
Constance: He's hot. You sure he's dead or...
Debbie: No.

Debbie: Okay. First. No need to be nervous. The food is better on the inside than most people think, and even solitary can be kind of peaceful—

John Frazier: Gentlemen. I've seen a thoroughbred racehorse thrown into a tree shredder. People will go to great lengths to defraud an insurance carrier.

Tammy: You're becoming a criminal because you're lonely?
Daphne Kluger: Who isn't sometimes, right?
Debbie: Are you an only child?

Everything is Great! Part 2

The Good Place 2×1.2


Michael: So, this is the living room... as well as the kitchen and the bedroom.
Tahani: It's so... cozy. I feel like the walls are just hugging me.

Michael: You all right, my dear?
Tahani: Yes, just not used to dressing like a plumber-ess. Is that what you call a female plumber, or is it a toilet sweep? Or clog wench? In any case, that's how I'm dressed.

Michael: My darling, you are in the Good Place. Relax. Feel the breeze on your feet.
Tahani: That's why Crocs have holes in them.

Denise: Can I just have something that makes me stand out? A mysterious past, or... a limp! I want a limp.

Eleanor: What the fork, man?
Chidi: I know that book.
Eleanor: Is that some kind of nerd pick-up line? Because it's only kind of working.

Eleanor: Are you gonna talk or just walk around like a nerd trying to get a personal best on his Fitbit?

Shawn: We're trying out the new butthole spiders. They're enormous. You know, good old-fashioned torture... the way it's supposed to be.

Everything is Great! Part 1

The Good Place 2×1.1


Eleanor: What the fork is a "Chidi"? Why can't I say fork?

Michael: We're keeping everything from version one that made them miserable, adding a bunch of new stuff that they'll hate. For example, all the coffee is from those little pods. Diabolical.

Michael: So, "torture" on three. Ready? One, two, three... Torture!

Eleanor: Why don't I ever listen to people when they talk about themselves?... No, it's annoying, and I'm right not to.

Eleanor: There are no phones here?.. Of course. Duh! There's no use for 'em. I always prefer talking to people anyway. People... are like nature's apps.

Michael: It's a rare occurrence, like... like a double rainbow, or someone on the Internet saying, "You know what? You've convinced me, I was wrong."

Angélique: Hey. How are you doing?
Chidi: Oh, well, uh... You know. My stomach's in knots and I'm stress-grinding my teeth, and it feels like my soul is being suffocated. You know, just your standard paradise stuff.

Put That on Your Plate!

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel 1×7


Susie: Most comics take years to work up those first ten minutes. You did it in months.
Midge: Feels like years.

Susie: Shit, there's, like, water on my face.
Midge: Those are tears.

Midge: Okay. Let's kick some big-time comedy ass across all five boroughs.
Susie: I'm making some calls tonight. And when I say five boroughs... I don't mean Staten Island or Queens. Or the Bronx. Not so much Brooklyn. Just Manhattan. I got the gist.

Moishe Maisel: See, it's all part of the big picture... The hall, the lavish buffet, the fake cousin. It's very important that you show people you're bigger and better than them. Because if they think it, then you'll be it. That's how you get ahead in the world, become a conqueror.

Abe Weissman: So, everyone gets a gift, everyone gets a compliment, everyone gets a hug... You're not preparing these kids for the real world.
Midge: Don't worry, we'll teach the kids how cruel the world is next year, when they're five.

Harry: What's her name again?
Susie: It's Amanda Gleason.
Harry: Shit name.
Susie: Fake name but a great comic.

Harry: She'd be a sacrificial lamb.
Susie: Then cut her up into chops and serve her with mint sauce. I want this for her.

Rose: I hope you like applesauce and peach slices, Mr. Blumenthal.
David: I like whatever you're serving.
Rose: Good, because that's what we're serving: Applesauce and peach slices and mashed potatoes and consommé and hard-boiled eggs and pureed cauliflower and pudding for dessert. Your teeth will wonder what they're there for.

Rose: Zelda, what do we have that's real food?

Rose: ...And this man is not even attractive!
Midge: Well, he's not unattractive.
Rose: Oh, Miriam, you are not going out with this man.
Midge: Of course I'm not going out with this man!
Rose: But you said he was attractive!

Rose: I don't want to talk about this anymore. Now I'm gonna go to the kitchen and grab some celery because we all need something fibrous to eat.


Rose: And you didn't tell me.
Abe: I didn't know how.
Rose: And she didn't tell me.
Abe: She probably didn't know how.

Madame Cosma: Well, now I am the person who's gonna do that, but between you and me, the tea leaf thing, kind of a scam. Pyromancy. Gazing into fire... Much more accurate, prettier, too.
Rose: This isn't happening.
Madame Cosma: The price is the same. And if you pay in advance, your tenth visit is free. Plus, I throw in a charm.

Sophie Lennon: My goodness, you're so pretty... Why comedy? Can't you sing?

Sophie Lennon: I went to Yale Drama School.
Midge: You're kidding.
Sophie Lennon: Yes, I wanted to be the next Laurette Taylor. Then I graduated, and I starved, so I started doing this character... Sophie from Queens. And look what it paid for... Dawes?
Dawes: Yes, ma'am?
Sophie Lennon: Isn't that marvelous?

Midge: I-I've been doing okay.
Sophie Lennon: Downtown. Honey, you give a downtowner a swig of gin, and he'll laugh at a sponge. The mainstreamers, the people from Pacoima, the people who buy the dish soap and the dog food, who pay for the Modigliani's... They want a character.
Midge: But... Bob Hope doesn't have a character. Lenny Bruce doesn't have a character.
Sophie Lennon: They have dicks. Do you have a dick?
Midge: N-- Not last time I checked.
Sophie Lennon: Darling, look at you. I mean, really... Men don't want to laugh at you. They want to fuck you. You can't go up there and be a woman. You've got to be a thing. You want to get ahead in comedy? Cover up that hole.

Susie: Jackie, how disgusting is the women's room that the men's room is less disgusting?

Midge: Why do women have to pretend to be something that they're not? Why do we have to pretend to be stupid when we're not stupid? Why do we have to pretend to be helpless when we're not helpless? Why do we have to pretend to be sorry when we have nothing to be sorry about? Why do we have to pretend we're not hungry when we're hungry?!

Harry: This town is gonna become a very uncomfortable place for you two, Susie. Fucking count on it!

Midge: Oh, I'm just getting started here. You don't have anywhere to go, do you, guys?

House of Cards 6×3

Chapter 68


Claire: I can tell you something... Once you identify the degree to which you are boxed in, you'll see how liberating it is.

Bill: City... FDR turned this place into a city. With his agencies and armies of clerks. All the professors that followed. Before the war, this was just a small Southern town. One built of marble, yeah, but just a... small town sitting on a swamp. Place to visit. Place to... protect the Republic. Secure States' rights. That's not what it is today. Some top-down money grab for bureaucrats, lobbyists and the entire Democratic party.
Annette: You've always been more Teddy.
Bill: Than that traitor pig Franklin?

Annette: She'll play along. We'll make sure of it...

Claire: Do you know the last thing he said to me? "Promise me you and Doug will take care of each other..."

Claire: I'm afraid I can't help you.
Nasser: No... you can't.

Doug: I don't know, maybe it's a curse to know what people fear...

Congressman Cole: Shit. It was stupid.
Doug: Well... it's only stupid if you can't make it go away.

Dayna: ...keep writing.
Hammerschmidt: So they can turn it into a 140 characters for clickbait? We don't write anymore, we come up with feed for the trough!

Hammerschmidt: Why don't we write about how Gardner Analytics is buying up television stations and some of the greatest papers in this country? "Analytics." Oh, my God! What the fuck does that even mean?!

Hammerschmidt: If you're talking about manufacturing evidence, Mr. Shepherd, I'm not interested.
Duncan: Beg to differ. And spare me the seasoned journalist routine, please. Your 30 years in the business. I've spoken to your old assistant, Angela. She's written a piece about her time with you. I could run it, or... ...
Hammerschmidt: Hmm.
Duncan: Think about it. Men your age, they unravel very easily these days.


Duncan: Your dogged pursuit of Frank Underwood, pardon the pun, is now your pursuit of his bride...

Jane: Sorry I missed the funeral. Were there psalms?
Claire: Number 42.
Jane: I love 42.

Jane: I detect pain in your eyes, Madam President. As a deer longs for streams of water...
Claire: So I long for you, God.
Jane: Do you miss him?
Claire: God? Always.

Annette: Fuck autonomy. She serves at our pleasure.

Annette: Bill wants a majority on the court...

Claire: I guess this is where we part ways, Doug.

Doug: You know what the last thing he said to me was?... "I can't imagine a world with only one of you in it."

Claire: There comes a point in every relationship where you wonder, "Are you with me?" Are you?

Jane: Oh, Cathy. Once the decision is made, you can't escape. Maybe it won't happen today, but... someday, someday, I'm afraid.

Usher: You should go with Abruzzo. We could get beaten up in the midterms if the wrong signals are sent... It's the way to be a two-term president.

Claire: The Supreme Court. This is a choice that outlives any presidency.
Annette: Exactly.
Claire: But also part of what defines a presidency.
Annette: Of course.

Claire: The decision has to be mine, Annie.

Claire: Do you remember how much fun we used to have, before we understood the rules?...

Alpha (2018)

Tau: To survive we must focus... Be patient. We must not give up.

Tau: You take a life to give life to your tribe.

Tau: Life is for the strong! It is earned, not given.

Tau: Be calm. Stay alert.

Tau: You see that one? That is the Alpha, their leader. The Alpha must care for his pack. Above all else. But he is also always in danger. Others in the pack will challenge him... if they sense weakness. The Alpha lets the others know his place... with his strength and calm. He was not born the Alpha. But he earned it with his courage... and his heart.

Keda: Stop looking at me!

Keda: I will call you Alpha.

Who Are You Now?

The Walking Dead 9×6


Michonne: It hasn't gotten any easier. Sun keeps rising. Days keep passing. World keeps spinning. Time... it just keeps moving forward. Weeks, months, even years go by... while you try to make sense of it all... Try to find where you belong. Try to look ahead to a better future. But the truth is... the path ahead has only grown darker. It's harder to see. You can feel so lost... so alone... so desperate for something, anything that might show you the way...

Michonne: So that's what I do every second of every day... for you, for us. I haven't given up, and I never will.

Luke: Hey... I dabbled in the culinary arts... once upon a time ago, and... you know, with a little bit of help, I can help whip this buck into a mighty fine osso buco.
Eugene: Stew. We make stew. More mileage for the masses.

Judith: If they don't go, I don't go.

Jerry: Our loyalty to you, my queen.
Carol: Jerry.
Jerry: What? Married to the king, mother to the prince... gonna have to accept it at some point.

Carol: ...sometimes you have to let the cracks happen to let the light in.

Judith: This is Alexandria. This is home.


Ezekiel: As my father said to me once upon my departure from home... you be respectful, be responsible, be kind, and be safe.

Gabriel: We're a fair community of decent-minded people, but we are not soft.

Luke: ...we certainly don't have anything in common, except for the fact that we're breathing. And that's a lot nowadays, right?

Eugene: Machete-wielding men of the cloth with zero depth perception aren't exactly a dime a dozen. I'll give you that. But that's not to say that there aren't other, more viable selects available to you... selects with equally distinctive qualities and belief systems firmly rooted in facts and science versus fables and fairy tales, generally speaking.
Rosita: Anyone specific in mind?
Eugene: Generally speaking, as I said.

Negan: I thought you wanted my help.
Judith: I do, but just with math.
Negan: Why just math?
Judith: Because it doesn't matter if you're a good or bad person on the inside. The numbers don't care.

Eugene: Slow and steady. Easy peasy.

Eugene: Sweet sassy molassy.

Michonne: We've all done things. Or else we wouldn't be here.

Judith: I'm starting to forget their voices. I'm not trying to, but they keep fading away. I hope you can still hear them...

Eugene: There's somethin' I've been working up the testicular gravitas to tell you... somethin' I've been holdin' inside of me for a really long time...

Michonne: Change of plans.

Fire and Reign

American Horror Story. Apocalypse

8×9

James: On the way home, I'm in the left lane at the intersection. I missed the left turn arrow, but then the light turns from arrow to green. The car in front of me just sits there. Doesn't pull into the intersection. The driver doesn't get that a green light means you can make a fucking left-hand turn if there's no oncoming traffic, even without a fucking left-hand turn arrow! He doesn't move. The driver needs the fucking arrow! People have to be pointed in the exact fucking direction. When did everyone become so fucking stupid?!

James: The worst part is, I just realized, I hate this fucking coffee. This coffee tastes like burnt asshole! Why is this called signature roast? Who is signing for this shit?!

Mutt: Cut him some slack, okay? Even Jesus needed time to figure shit out. That's why he went to the desert, bro.

James: A sign? All the guy needs to do is look around. The world is a raging clusterfuck! And we need to burn this motherfucker to the ground!!

Dinah: So... we good?
Michael: Better than good. I'll put in a word with my father. Satan just greenlit your talk show for 13 episodes.

Michael: Putin, Buffett, Clinton...
Mutt: Oh, Bill, not Hillary.
Michael: Kim Pyong So...
Mutt: General Kim. Dude controls all the nuclear weapons in North Korea.
Michael: I don't get it, how are all these people connected?

James: That's a list of 100 members of the world's most powerful organization, called... The Cooperative.
Mutt: Yeah, except no one in The Cooperative would ever admit to being in The Cooperative. Also, "The Cooperative" is a code name. The real name... is the Illuminati.
James: And, actually, this list doesn't exist. Bye, list.


Mutt: Uh, no, no, no, no. You don't need magic to destroy the world, bro, not when you have science.

James: People suck. They're selfish and short-sighted. All anyone cares about is immediate gratification. And that's why everything happens. One shitty self-serving act at a time. You multiply one bad impulse by seven billion people, you get global warming. You get mass extinction. You definitely get genocide.

James: With the people we know in positions of power, all you need for Armageddon, bro, are three people in the right places, pushing the right buttons.
Michael: ... Will it be enough to kill the witches?

Madison: Are you saying this bitch can travel through time?

Mallory: You want to send me a hundred years into the past to thwart the Bolshevik Revolution?
Myrtle: .... the Bolsheviks had already won, dear. Young Anastasia's survival will be proof of your success.

Mutt: ...you would make a great Administrator. You would be clear to pick and choose how you want to run the show.
Wilhemina: You're saying I could devise my own rules.
James: Who's gonna stop you? You want to make people say the Pledge of Allegiance in their underwear every morning? Knock yourself out.
Mutt: Ms. Venable, you wouldn't have to answer to anybody about anything.

Michael: This place is so strange. Why would the world's wealthiest 0.1% choose to wear so much flannel and Patagonia?
Ms. Mead: They think true power lies in not flaunting theirs. Idiots.

Michael: Friends, it's time for the apocalypse.

Kenny: Mrph rmhmhm rm?

Kyle: Please, Mr. Gore! We need your help! ManBearPig isn't going to stop.
Al Gore: Oh, is it inconvenient now? I tried to warn you all, but no one took me cereal. You all just made fun of me, didn't you? Well, now you can just deal with it yourselves.

Al Gore: Say you're sorry for making fun of me.
Eric: We're sorry for making fun of you.
Al Gore: That didn't sound cereal at all.


Detective: I don't believe it. A school shooting at an ice cream shop... Damn it! When children leave school, they're supposed to be out of harm's way.

Al Gore: I wanted to find ManBearPig's origins. And so I created this... the Internet. With that, I was able to search everywhere for any bit of data.

Al Gore: This is "The Temptation of St. Anthony" by Martin Schongauer. It depicts several demons... WolfMonkeyGuy, ChickenFishWoman and ElephantPorcupineMan, just to name a few. All of them demons sent by the Devil himself.

Al Gore: Al Gore was right... Al Gore was right all along... We should have listened to Al Gore...

Stan: Oh, Jesus. ‭You gotta tell them, Mr. Gore! Tell them it wasn't us!
Al Gore: No. They don't listen to me, kids. It's up to you young people now. You have to find a way to get people to take this cereal. You must convince people there's a ManBearPig, which Satan told you is a Fate Sifter demon that made a deal ‭with someone in this town!
Stan: That's gonna be impossible!
Al Gore: Yeah, sounds really hard, doesn't it? People might not believe you and, like, make fun of you and stuff. Poor you guys, huh?

Г. Робертс — Тень горы (18/18)


&  «Тайна любви в том, какими мы станем».

&  По существу, желание иметь семью и ощущение пустоты, возникающее при ее потере, порождены не собственническими инстинктами, а стремлением к той благодати, которая нисходит на нас, когда мы заботимся о тех, кого любим.

&  «Талант проявляется по мере его употребления».

&  Служебные обязанности могут служить людям или подчинять их себе.

&  Я ... задал себе вопрос, который мы все задаем раньше или позже, прожив в Индии достаточно долго:
  «Что тебе нужно от меня, Индия? Что тебе нужно от меня, Индия? Что тебе нужно от меня?»

&  Привычка – движущая сила порока, и она делает людей предсказуемыми.

&  Доверие – редкостный наркотик для души.

&  – Я никого не оцениваю и не осуждаю. Я хочу, чтобы в мире не было камней, которыми кидались бы в кого-нибудь.

&  – Стоит подписать какой-нибудь юридический документ, и судьба берет выходной.

&  Сердце,
     полное жадности, гордости или ненависти,
     не свободно.

&  – Учителя, как и писатели, не умирают, пока люди их цитируют.

&  Истина – свобода души. Мы очень молоды в нашей молодой вселенной и часто не оправдываем ожиданий и теряем честь, пусть даже только в темных углах сознания. Мы деремся, вместо того чтобы танцевать. Мы стараемся обогнать других, обманываем друг друга и наказываем ни в чем не повинную природу.
     Но это не выражает нашей сущности, это просто то, что мы делаем в мире, который сами для себя создали, и ничто не мешает нам в любую секунду изменить то, что мы делаем, и мир, который создали.

&  Человеческая раса на данном этапе ее судьбы – это ребенок, бездумно и бессмысленно дующий на одуванчик. Но ощущение чуда, испытываемое ребенком, это наше общее ощущение, и нет предела добру, которое мы можем творить, когда человеческие сердца соединяются. Наша истина, наша история и значение слова «Бог» в том, что мы едины. Мы едины.
  ... Мы едины.”

Midge: I just wanted to make things easy for you.

Midge: What'd you do with your socks? Oh, they're in your shoes. At some point last night you stopped to put your socks in your shoes?!

Joel: Okay, come on.
Midge: Wait, where are we going?
Joel: To find the rabbi. I'm marrying you all over again.

Susie: I need you to be great tonight. No pressure, but I need you to be perfect tonight. No pressure, but if ever there was a night that everything in the world depends on how great and perfect you are, it's tonight. No pressure.
Midge: Pressure, yeah, I got it. Thanks for taking the pressure off.

Midge: How did you do this?
Susie: Lots of perverted sex acts. I'll have skinned knees for a month.

Susie: Go show 'em how it's done.

Joel: She's good.

Midge: You have been a great audience, ladies and gentlemen. That's it for me. My name is Mrs. Maisel. Thank you and good night!

Claire: Keep the phone away from your mouth while you’re thinking, Governor...

Claire: I promised myself I wouldn't be like him... But he handed me over to them like a shaker of salt and now they won't let go. This is a wound of their own making.

Claire: No one should ever feel unsafe. In her own home.

Elizabeth: It's time she learned about the world. Pretty girls have a responsibility to their beauty. I’ll bet she dared those boys! Shame on her. Why can't you just do as you're told?

Annette: She can’t decide if she’s Lady Macbeth or Macbeth.

Seth: Essentially they’re handing over their phones, which as you know, is basically an extension of the self at this point. Duncan calls them "the sarcophagi of our souls." We’ll be crawling peoples’ phones. You get to decide what people see and when.

Bill: You respected him. Did you fear him?
Seth: Yes. But you always knew where you stood with him.
Bill: And her?
Seth: You never know.

Annette: He was a good kisser, I’ll say that. But then the rest... was so underwhelming.

Claire: And this is where I tell you to shut your mouth, Annette.

Bill: "To the dead, a kingdom means nothing. They have their requiem and eternity." That's Macbeth. The opera, not the play.

Г. Робертс — Тень горы (17/18)


&  Любовь – это связь между двумя, а счастье – двое, связанные в одно целое.

&  – Я так люблю тебя, Карла, что остального для меня просто не существует. И сейчас, и всегда.
     Мужчины обычно избегают быть настолько откровенными в любви. Это все равно что дать женщине в руки пистолет, приставить дуло к своей груди и сказать: «Вот так меня можно убить».

&  Нам никуда не надо идти, и полно времени, чтобы туда попасть.

&  – Я не хочу прощаться. Сколько раз я произносила «до свидания», и это оказывалось последним, что я говорила людям.

&  Любопытство – самоистязание.

&  – Я не хочу его читать... Письмо – это слишком назойливая судьба. У меня всегда с письмами связана какая-нибудь гадость.
     – Ну разве? Ты написал мне два письма, и это лучшие письма, какие я когда-либо получала.
     – Писать их я могу, время от времени. Но я не люблю получать их. Один из вариантов ада в моем представлении – это мир, где ты получаешь письма каждую минуту, каждый день, непрерывно и вечно. Это кошмар.

&  След от цепи хуже, чем укус; тот, кто сдается, всегда кричит громче того, кто сражается.

&  Воля нам дана, чтобы задавать вопросы Богу, но не для того, чтобы мы рабски ждали Его ответов.

&  Пьедестал всегда выше человека, стоящего на нем.

&  – Насилие, тирания, угнетение, несправедливость – это горы, встречающиеся человеку на его жизненном пути. Жизнь – преодоление этих гор. Проще всего и надежнее обойти гору. Но если вы изберете этот путь, на него уйдет вся ваша жизнь, потому что, двинувшись в обход, вы так и будете ходить по кругу, навсегда привязав себя к этой горе. Единственный способ не застрять в этом заколдованном кругу, а также избежать проблем со следующей горой – забраться на гору и перевалить через нее на самой вершине.

&  – Обратный закон справедливости. Чем больше телохранителей, тем меньше порядочности.

&  – Если ты берешь на себя ответственность за решения и действия других, ты оскорбляешь карму. Это не меньший грех, чем пытаться избежать ответственности за свои решения и действия.

Mile 22 (2018)

James Silva: We live in a new world. These are bloody times. Evil exists. Horror exists. The great game continues.

James Silva: Most governments have very little patience. What is a government anyway? Does a government have a heartbeat? Does a government have ten fingers and ten toes? A government is capable of vengeance. Is a government capable of slaughter?

Bishop: James Silva, welcome to the new wars.

Dougie: I need to know before we start this conversation how bad of a mood are you in.
James Silva: What you want? Like one to ten?... Seven and rising quickly.

Vera: He hears everything, never listens.
Alice: He listens to what works for him.
Vera: So, what works for him?
Alice: Actionable intelligence. And pain.

James Silva: There's a big difference between honest and reliable, Alice.

James Silva: And by the way, it's not Warren Buffett anymore. It's Buff-ay. ... Warren Buffett. He doesn't live in Nebraska anymore. He lives in Paris.

Johnny Porter: ... Every one of these events occurred as a result of a failure of imagination. Your job is not to predict tomorrow based on yesterday. That's what academics do. Your job is to prevent the end of tomorrow by using your brains and your imagination.

Johnny Porter: ... you will be held responsible for the single largest intelligence fumble since a flight instruction school in Florida failed to grasp the significance of a 19-year-old Al-Qaeda terrorist saying he didn't need to learn how to land.

James Silva: I got it. You're upset, suck it up, okay?

Alice Kerr: Do you think that because I'm a woman I'm less capable of extreme violence? I'll go get a sledgehammer and an ice-axe and I will fuck you up.

James Silva: Oh, some things should not be entered into unadvisedly or lightly but reverently, discreetly advisedly, soberly, and in the fear of God.


M.I.T.: What exactly is Silva's psychological problem?
Vera: He doesn't like computer people. Fuckin' nerds.

James Silva: About the fog of war and imagine chaos on a battlefield. Armies. Tanks. Smoke. Fire. But it depends on your definition of battlefield. A battlefield can be a room with two people in it. That's chaos. That's fog.

James Silva: Warriors don't wear uniforms anymore. There are no uniforms in war now. The little girl that looks like your little sister's hippie friend on holiday might be a weapon of mass destruction.

James Silva: Warriors don't wear uniforms anymore. There are no uniforms in war now. The little girl that looks like your little sister's hippie friend on holiday might be a weapon of mass destruction.

James Silva: The start of an operation is just like the start of anything else. Everything could go right. Everything could go wrong. Diplomacy is option one. Military's option two. When option one and option two are abandoned, there is only one thing left. Which is us. We are the third option.

James Silva: Special situations teams. Special missions units. Smart people on short notice to solve problems.

James Silva: Do I believe in Santa Claus? No. Tooth fairy? Uh-uh. Did I believe that my three ex-wives meant it when they said that they'd love me forever? Absolutely fucking not. Did I believe that the comms were secure? Yes. We all did.

James Silva: It's everybody's downfall, my friend. Ego is not your amigo.

Bishop: Stop monologuing, you bipolar fuck.
Pawn: I think he's more manic-depressed.
Rook: Or narcissistic disorder.
King: Dissociative disorder.
Knight: He's just an asshole.

James Silva: You know what? I think I might just be a little worse.

James Silva: I think there is no defense against someone willing to die.

James Silva: The great game continues. Today was yours. I'll see you tomorrow...

An 8-Bit Princess and a Flat Tire Genius

Young Sheldon 2×8


Sheldon: No, thank you. Video games are for children.

Sheldon: That's amusing.
Meemaw: Why?
Sheldon: I guess it's the juxtaposition of an old person using new technology; it tickles me.

Meemaw: I'm not getting any younger...
Sheldon: I have to read the instructions first. Did you know this document gives us specific legal rights?...

Sheldon: All right, I'm ready.
Meemaw: Great!
Sheldon: To read the manufacturer's warranty.

Sheldon: We should combine the letters in our two names, Sheldon and Meemaw.
Meemaw: Like, uh... ShelMaw?
Sheldon: No, using all the letters, like... Emelda Showmen.
Meemaw: Did you just do that in your head?

Sheldon: Would you like me to give you a tutorial first?
Meemaw: Give it to me. I'll figure it out.
Sheldon: We are such different people, Meemaw...
Meemaw: Thank you... Die, you sumbitches, die!
Sheldon: Very different people.

Mary: I don't know, I think his education should come first.
Georgie: Come on, Mom. It's not like I'm gonna graduate "val-dictator-torian."


Meemaw: Okay, we need to set a few ground rules.
Sheldon: Rules, love 'em.
Meemaw: Mazes, puzzles, panic attacks, you're in charge. Whooping monster butt, that's my purview.

Adult Sheldon: Over the next few days, I ran to my meemaw's house so we could save the 8-bit princess. And if it's unclear how important this was, let me say it again: I ran.

Adult Sheldon: Even while sleeping, my quest to save the princess continued, which was quite a departure from my usual dreams, such as determining the coolest prime number... Which, by the way, is 73.

Sheldon: [Georgie]'s an acquired taste. Like Grape-Nuts. The first time I tried it, I thought I was eating gravel. But then I put a little sugar on it and let it get soggy. Now it's in my top six cereals.
George: I'll try soaking Georgie in a bowl of milk...
Sheldon: Sarcasm?
George: Yeah.
Sheldon: I had a feeling. The clue was you don't normally put people in bowls of milk.

Herschel: ...when it comes to fixing tires, I swear, I've never seen anything like him.
George: Tires? How do you mean?
Herschel: George, I've been patching flats for 25 years. You know, slap some soapy water on them, look for the air bubble... But your son, he doesn't need any tricks. He knows where the puncture holes are.

Herschel: I am telling you, your boy's got a future in the tire business. Goodyear, Firestone, somebody's gonna scoop him up first round!

Г. Робертс — Тень горы (16/18)


&  Помощь психолога нужна только людям, слишком пресыщенным, чтобы говорить правду.

&  – Нет, так не пойдет. Ты должен торговаться, иначе не будет справедливой цены.Если ты не торгуешься, то обманываешь меня, пусть даже я завышаю цену. Вот как это делается.
     – Просто скажи мне справедливую цену, Джасвант, и я заплачу ее.
     – Ты не понимаешь. Мы должны вдвоем установить справедливую цену. Только так можно узнать, сколько стоит товар. Если мы все не будем делать это, наступит полный абзац. А вредители вроде тебя, готовые платить сколько угодно за что угодно, все запутывают.
     – Джасвант, я хочу заплатить столько, сколько это стоит.
     – Послушай, ты не можешь выйти из этой системы, старик, как бы ни старался. Торговля по поводу цены – основа всякого бизнеса. Неужели никто не учил тебя этому?
     – Цена меня не интересует.
     – Цена всех интересует.
     – Меня – нет. Если я не могу заплатить за какую-то вещь, мне она не нужна. Если мне что-то нужно и я могу заплатить за это, мне не важно, сколько денег я должен заплатить. Это ведь и значит быть при деньгах, не так ли?

&  – Деньги – это река, старик. Некоторые люди выплывают на стремнину, а некоторые барахтаются на мели.

&  Коррупция – это налог, которым облагается общество, если оно не платит людям достаточно, чтобы они сами отказались от нее.

&  ...и я не поддался тщеславию, этой мелочной тени гордости.

&  В Индии быть скромным – значит не прерывать человека, когда он говорит тебе что-то нескромное.

&  «Копы неплохие ребята, – сказал мне однажды один мудрый зэк. – Они думают так же, как мы, ведут себя так же, как мы, и дерутся так же. Они преступники, которые продались богатым, но все равно остались преступниками».

Howards End (1992)

Ruth Wilcox: Charles ... truly loves England. Not, of course, London. None of us love London. It's so... It makes one feel so unstable, impermanent, with houses being torn down on all sides.

Ruth Wilcox: You're so clever, and yet, so good.

Ruth Wilcox: ...how horrible. Landlords are horrible. And so are the flats they build. I fail to understand how people can actually choose to live in them.

Margaret Schlegel: Did you see the dawn?
Leonard Bast: Yes, suddenly it got light.
Helen Schlegel: And was it wonderful?
Leonard Bast: No. It was only gray... And anyway, by that time, I was so tired and so hungry. I didn't know when you're walking you want a breakfast and lunch and tea during the night as well, and all I had was a packet of Woodbines.

Henry Wilcox: One bit of advice, fix your district, then fix your price, then don't budge. That's how I got Ducie Street and Oniton.

Henry Wilcox: Helen, a word of advice—
Helen Schlegel: I require no more advice!
Henry Wilcox: Don't take up a sentimental attitude over the poor. The poor are poor. One is sorry for them, but there it is.

Leonard Bast: I didn't think people like you existed except in books, and books aren't real.
Helen Schlegel: No, they're more real than anything. When people fail you, there's still "Music and Meaning."
Leonard Bast: That's for rich people, to make them feel good after their dinner.

Midge: Sure.
Susie: Good. It's behind us.

Vivian: I have no idea what people of their age do at parties. My mom keeps saying the word canapés. Is that an old people's dance?
Midge: It's a type of hors d'oeuvre.
Vivian: You always know everything, so any tips would help.
Midge: Hire help.

Abe: May I stop you there?.. I want no part of Sputnik panic.

Rose: So, you're going to another party... That's the fourth one this week, isn't it?
Midge: Four this week, three last week. Which, of course, means they've already seen everything in my closet. Enter yours.

Susie: Why would anyone in their right mind go to parties? I mean, just buy some Sno Balls and a beer, and take the subway at rush hour, same fucking thing.

Midge: Me, personally, I-I was never great at gift-giving. Maybe it's because I never got to celebrate Christmas. I got Hanukkah. Doesn't exactly prepare you the same way. For Christmas, a gentile would get a bike as a reminder that their parents love them. For Hanukkah, we would get socks as a reminder that we were persecuted.


Rose: There are a thousand restaurants in the city... what are the odds?
Abe: One in sixteen thousand, four hundred fifty...
Noah: Twelve thousand, three hundred...
Abe: I'm taking into account weather effects, that some restaurants are closed on Mondays...
Noah: Yeah, yeah, but I'm calculating differentials in geography, quality...
Midge: We get it, guys, the odds are low.

Astrid: Chief rabbi of Hoboken! Have you ever seen a Hirchensohn?
Midge: To be honest, I've never seen rabbi trading cards.
Astrid: Oh, one of the wonders of Israel. That and Shabbat on a kibbutz.

Noah: I don't know what to do with her. When she gets something in her head... like the whole converting thing. She had to sign up for the accelerated conversion package. Goy to Jew in three weeks or less. Classes, rituals, and weird baths in basements, and, oh, my God, so much challah.

Rick: Lot of threats involving the C-word, ma'am. Lots and lots of the C-word, unfortunately.
Claire: .... You mean Claire?
Rick: It's a long list.

Claire: By how much?
Usher: There are roughly four times as many threats on any given day since you took office. Now it's twice that since Francis died.

Claire: I thought everyone loves a widow.
Usher: Not if she's also Commander-in-Chief, I guess.

Claire: The first female president of the United States is not gonna keep her mouth shut on the Fourth of fucking July.

Claire: It's not true what he told you all those years ago... That there are two kinds, useful and useless. There's only one kind... Pain is pain.

Claire: Francis... I'm done with you.

Doug: He wanted to be buried in Arlington. Not next to his father.
Seth: That's not what his wife said.

Doug: Everyone has problems, Seth. Especially the ones who think they don't.

Bill: Tell me. I wanna know. What's your mission? I wanna know what your platform is.
Claire: ... I know you'd like to drown DC all at once. But I'm gonna tell you right now, I cannot let that happen. I still believe in government and its ability to make the everyday lives of its citizens better.

Claire: You don't wanna support my slate, that's fine. All I ask is stay out of the way.

Bill: There's a bill sitting on your desk. A bill that took years... and money to get passed. You sign that... and I know I got a friend in the White House. If not... then I don't.

Claire: Why back him now?
Bill: Because he gave us you.


Annette: Do you know what the hardest color to make is?
Claire: Red?
Annette: No, red's easy. White's easy. It's blue. Very tricky chemistry involving copper and heat. A truly bright blue is extremely elusive.

Claire: Whatever Francis promised or did... is buried with him.

Annette: Hon... be patient.

Claire: Are you still there?... Do you miss Francis?...

Claire: Here's the thing... Whatever Francis told you the last five years, don't believe a word of it.

Claire: It's going to be different for you and me. I'm going to tell you the truth...

Claire: I actually hate "Madam." Makes me sound like I'm running a brothel and not a country.

Claire: Would you have asked me that if I were a man?

Claire: Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley, Kennedy. Successful assassinations, total of four. The attempts... Nine? Jackson, both Roosevelts. Truman. Ford twice. Reagan... the first Underwood and...

Claire: Whoever tried to kill me, perversely, it's the first sign of real respect I've gotten in 100 days.

Doug: Everybody works for somebody... I worked for a man who refused to fail.

Claire: I know. You want to know what really happened to him... A man like Francis doesn't just die. That would be... what's the word? "Convenient."

Г. Робертс — Тень горы (15/18)


&  Преступность – явление, по сути, феодальное. Как только это поймешь, все становится на свои места. ...
     Преступность – средневековый город, существующий в параллельном мире. В нем есть все, включая абсолютную монархию и публичные казни. Я – барон на стальном скакуне – имел право властвовать над крепостными.
     Для успешного ведения преступных дел необходимо умение создавать видимость безраздельного владычества. Отсутствие уверенности в себе вызывает недоверие... Авторитет, власть и влияние должны быть наглядны и неоспоримы; у окружающих не должно возникнуть и мысли, что власть можно опротестовать. ...хозяин побеждает потому, что кричит громче и действует решительнее, а последнее слово всегда остается за ним.

&  Циник всегда сердит сам на себя.

&  – Знаешь, как понять, встретил ты свою задушевную спутницу или нет? Если на нее невозможно сердиться, то она – твоя вторая половина.

&  Истинные глубины терпения проявляются только в общении с самыми родными и близкими людьми.

&  Ревность в зеркало не глядится, а обида правды слышать не желает.

&  О человеке легче всего судить по смеху и походке.

&  В созданном нами мире и мужчины и женщины сотканы из лжи. Женщина всегда больше навязанного ей идеала, а мужчина всегда больше возложенного на него долга. Мужчины сочувствуют, женщины возглавляют армии. Мужчины воспитывают детей, женщины исследуют вселенную. Нас определяет не что-то одно, мы – странные версии друг друга. Иногда мужчины плачут в ванной.

&  Англичане утверждают, что отсутствие новостей – хорошая новость. Немцы говорят, что отсутствие новостей – не плохая новость. Мне больше нравится немецкий подход. Мне всегда почему-то хочется разорвать записку не читая, не важно, от кого она. Иногда я так и делаю. Может быть, в этом мое спасение, а может – проклятие.

&  Невозможно понять, что у женщины на уме, пока она сама не скажет это.

&  – Самоубийство – не выход. ... Такого права нет ни у кого.
     – Это почему?
     – Скажи, у безумца есть право убить постороннего?
     – Нет.
     – Вот видишь. Когда задумываешься о самоубийстве, то превращаешься в безумца. Но в то же время ты сам – посторонний, и тебе грозит опасность от самого себя. Даже если дела плохи, ты не вправе убить того, кем станешь впоследствии. Сама жизнь предупреждает, что это не выход.

&  – Все мы делаем ошибки, такова человеческая натура. Просто надо поступать по совести, стараться изо всех сил. Рано или поздно найдется тот, кто это оценит, верно?

&  Сожаление – призрак любви. Сожаление – лучшая версия своего «я», которое иногда возвращаешь в прошлое, хотя и сознаешь, что невозможно изменить ни сказанные слова, ни совершенные поступки. Это очень по-человечески. Это свойственно всему людскому роду, потому что нас связывают с прошлым крепкие узы стыда, растворить которые под силу только океану сожаления.
     Не столько любовь, сколько именно сожаление убедительно доказывает, что зло порождает зло, а сочувствие порождает сочувствие. И только выполнив свою задачу, сожаление постепенно возвращается в ничто, туда, куда уходит все остальное.

&  – Знание становится знанием только тогда, когда его истинность очевидна собеседнику.

&  Судьба ведет тебя к предмету твоей страсти, а Время выбирает для этого самый неподходящий момент.

&  – Завтра всегда приходит не вовремя.

&  – Знаешь, гордыня – единственный грех, которого не замечает сам грешник.

&  – Можно поступить по-женски. Откровенно с ней поговорить.
     – Нет, это слишком опасно.
     – Значит, надо поступить по-мужски.
     – Это как?
     – Дождаться, пока она сама не изменит своего мнения.

&  – На важные вопросы существуют только ничтожные ответы, а задавая ничтожные вопросы, можно получить важные ответы. Но сначала необходимо расслабиться.

&  – Больше всего тебя страшит судьба Карлы и твоих близких. ... Это значит, что свой страх ты носишь в себе. Страх должен существовать вне нас. Ему следует поддаваться только при необходимости. Мы созданы для мирной, счастливой жизни, потому что иначе, живя в страхе, трудно поддерживать связь с божественным.

&  – ...общность интересов, согласие, свободный диалог, – все это невозможно, если обе стороны не проявят покорности. Покорность лежит в основе цивилизации, в любом добром деянии. Смирение – врата покорности, а покорность – врата очищения.

&  – Усложнение – это мера той изощренности, с которой выражен набор положительных характеристик. ... Объект сложен в той степени, в какой он выражает набор положительных характеристик. ... Этот набор включает в себя жизнь, сознание, свободу, взаимосвязь, творчество, объективность и прочее.
     – А откуда он взялся, этот набор? Кто его придумал?
     – Это общие и универсальные характеристики... Эти характеристики называют положительными, потому что они противоположны смерти, бессознательности, рабству, вражде, разрушению и несправедливости. Понимаешь, о чем я говорю? Позитивные характеристики универсальны.

&  – Есть две точки зрения относительно человечества. Согласно первой мы возникли случайно, по прихоти бескрайнего космоса, и чудесным образом пережили динозавров, истинных хозяев планеты, вымерших в юрском периоде. Следовательно, мы одни во Вселенной, потому что подобная случайность вряд ли повторится. Мы единственные живем в бескрайнем космосе, среди миллиардов пустынных планет, где в щелочных морях обитают лишь безобидные бактерии, археи да термофильные метаногены. ... А вторая точка зрения заключается в том, что жизнь существует повсюду, в каждой точке Вселенной, в том числе и в этой галактике, в нашей Солнечной системе, на окраине Млечного Пути. Мы – результат локальной эволюции. Нам повезло. По-твоему, какое объяснение правдоподобнее?

&  – В каждой частице материи содержится набор положительных характеристик своего уровня сложности. Чем сложнее структура материи, тем сложнее проявление набора положительных характеристик. ... На человеческом уровне сложности происходят два весьма необычных явления. Во-первых, мы обладаем неэволюционным знанием. Во-вторых, мы способны подавлять в себе животную природу и вести себя как уникальный вид – человек. Понятно?

Randall: Please, do not come to Philly. Last thing I need is my white, movie star brother coming and destroying what's left of my already precious-little street cred.

Randall: Wow. This is all... a lot.

Kevin: It-it just blew our little minds that there was wood paneling behind the wallpaper. Like, it had never occurred to us that there was anything beneath those ships... I started peeling.

Kevin: Kamsahamnida... You know what that is?... The Manny. Number-one show in South Korea.

Kevin: You know, sometimes my heart is so big I can't even stand it. What's the game plan?

Rebecca: Can I let you in on a little secret? Toby and Audio and your maybe-baby that I think is going to turn into a real baby... There's gonna be a million things, a million decisions you're gonna have to make for them, and you will. You'll do exactly what I did. You're gonna... take a deep breath... and make a choice... and just hope you didn't screw things up too badly.

Deja: Randall ... loves you like he's in a Disney movie or something, like he hears tiny forest animals singing or playing kazoos or something whenever you walk into a room.

Deja: If you're sad, then you should talk to him. He'll tell you you're exceptional, and he'll say it so easy that you'll believe it.

Kate: Toby. I think you should go on a walk with us.


Randall: You need to peel the wallpaper.
Kevin: I need to peel the wallpaper.

Rebecca: All right, you win.
Jake: Win what?
Rebecca: Teach me how to box.

Jake: Oh, wow. I mean, you in a nightgown with boxing gloves on, I mean, that was a fantasy I didn't even know that I was missing.

Jake: Did you see that? He gets hit square in the jaw, spits out blood, and what does he do? He smiles. Why would he do that?... He doesn't want his opponent to know that he's hurt. There's this thing that some fighters do. Okay? If their opponent hits them really hard, they just plaster on a big old smile.

Kate: I'm not gonna leave you... I signed up for better or worse.

Kate: In sickness and health, for better, for worse. I'm talking forever.

Zoe: Vietnam, huh?... Yeah.

Randall: I already got 20 years of data that says that Beth Pearson is the best teammate there is. You are my missing ingredient, baby. You're the horseradish in my Bloody Mary.

Beth: Let's win you an election.
Randall: That's what I'm talking about.

Sojourn

American Horror Story. Apocalypse

8×8

Michael Langdon: What do you want from me?! What am I supposed to do?! Fuck am I supposed to do?

Hannah: People. Listen the fuck up. Just because we have a president who's a total douchenozzle and global warming is getting worse, that doesn't mean you can sit here on your lazy asses and holler out a few "Hail Satans." You think end-time's just gonna show up like a herpes sore?

Michael: That's actually really nice of you.
Madelyn: What can I say? Nobody's perfect.

Madelyn: So... what's your story? How did you end up all alone and at our beloved Satan's doorstep?
Michael: My father abandoned me. And my mother tried to kill me.
Madelyn: Humanity... is shit.

Madelyn: We've got a greater purpose. We are moving towards the beginning of the end. Our savior is coming. The spawn of Satan will... lead us off the cliff and into the end-times. We just have to make things terrible enough for him to rise.

Hannah: Ladies and gentlemen, the volunteer All-Sinners choir! They really know how to raise some hell, don't they, kids?... And, you ask, why does it rain every time they sing? Because God is pissing in his pants.

Hannah: Well, now that we're in the mood, are you ready for an old-fashioned human sacrifice?

Madelyn: So, what happens next?
Michael: Probably your lasagna.
Madelyn: No, I meant on the global annihilation front.

Madelyn: What do you mean you're not sure?
Michael: I don't know what to do, where to begin.
Madelyn: But you're the Antichrist.
Michael: Which people won't let me forget! Everyone keeps saying that I'm special, that I'm the only one who can bring about the end-times, but nobody gave me a fucking instruction manual!


Madelyn: Dead? That's something we can work around.

Madelyn: I want to be in the lowest circle.
Michael: Circle?
Madelyn: However it's structured, I want to be in the worst part. Or the best part. I want to burn in blistering fire for all eternity in service.
Michael: I'll see what I can do.

Office Girl: You don't have to insult me again.
Wilhemina: I certainly don't have to. But why deny myself one of life's simple pleasures?

Jeff: For years we worked 20 hours a day in R&D for a company whose nondisclosure agreements prevent us from mentioning by name. But did Elon give us any credit? Any opportunity for advancement? No!
Mutt: No! The fix is in, man. The world is run by prep school failsons and Russian oligarchs. Everyone else just slaves away trying to make these rich assholes richer.

Jeff: We are your servants, Michael. Now and forever. How can we help, even in the most microscopic of ways?

Mutt: You came to the right place. Our AI tech makes HAL 9000 look like a fucking abacus.

Jeff: No, it's not good enough, bro. Not when your client is the spawn of Satan. Think.
Mutt: I'm thinking!
Jeff: Think harder!
Mutt: I'm thinking!
Jeff: Think faster!
Mutt: We need to make her Mossad.
Jeff: Yeah! Mossad!

Mutt: 240 terabytes of memory, over 11,000 processor cores.
Jeff: She could crush Watson at Jeopardy! and kick the asses of every roided actor in the Expendables franchise.

Mutt: Just don't tell her she's a biomechanical humanoid. At least not at first. It'll send her into the mother of all existential crises. She could end up killing herself, maybe others... Not worth the headache.

Mutt: And now... Kineros Robotics proudly presents... the Battle-Ax-- Miriam Mead 2.0.

Miriam Mead 2.0: How I've missed you, Michael.

Г. Робертс — Тень горы (12/18)


&  Журналистика – это лекарство, которое порождает болезнь.

&  Любовь – это то, что не имеет никакой ценности для посторонних, но дороже всего на свете для нас.

&  – Стыд – дело прошлое или очень скоро им станет.

&  – Прелесть прошлого заключается в том, что его нельзя изменить.

&  Женщину, которая намного умнее тебя, любить очень трудно – самое страшное, что, когда тебя снова и снова швыряют лицом в грязь, от этого получаешь удовольствие.

&  – Любовь – одновременно и богач и бедняк, и хозяин и раб. И обе ее ипостаси одинаково плохи. ...
     – По-моему, это слова человека, который ненавидит бедняков.
     – Между прочим, бедняков никто не любит. Даже сами бедняки. Дело в том, что некоторые рождены повелевать, но большинство рождены, чтобы подчиняться.

&  Все оставляет след. Каждый удар топора эхом разносится по лесу. Каждое несправедливое деяние перерубает ветвь, каждая утрата – поваленное дерево. Для человечества характерны надежда и смелость. Даже когда жизнь ранит нас, мы продолжаем двигаться вперед. Мы идем – навстречу ветру и океану, навстречу соленой правде смерти – и не желаем останавливаться. Каждым нашим шагом, каждым вздохом, каждым исполненным желанием мы обязаны тем, чью жизнь и любовь, в отличие от наших, больше не осеняет искра и биение священного источника: возлюбленной души, сквозившей в их взгляде.

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel 1×5


Abe: You got a job?
Midge: Yes.
Abe: You have no résumé.
Midge: They hired me anyway.
Abe: Do you know how to type?
Midge: I don't need to.
Abe: Okay.

Abe: I told you to study something practical in college.
Midge: I remember that.
Abe: Russian literature was not that thing.
Midge: I know.
Abe: Okay.

Abe: And it's five days a week?
Midge: Yes.
Abe: If it rains, you still have to go in.
Midge: I figured.
Abe: And you know how to get there?
Midge: By multiple routes.
Abe: Okay.

Abe: And they're paying you?
Midge: Yes.
Abe: In money?
Midge: Yes.
Abe: By check?
Midge: Every two weeks.
Abe: You'll need a bank account.
Midge: I have a bank account.
Abe: Checking and savings?
Midge: Yep.
Abe: Okay.

Abe: Your mother can't watch the kids every day.
Midge: Mrs. Fulber will watch them when she can't.
Abe: Okay.

Abe: Mrs. Fulber?
Midge: Yep.
Abe: The one that used to babysit you?
Midge: The one and the same.
Abe: She's still alive?
Midge: I think so.
Abe: I'll be damned... Okay.


Mary: Remember, Midge: always be on time... always be polite... always be pretty... and... don't forget to punch.

Jackie: So, "Miriam," right?
Midge: Yes, but I'll be using a nom de plume.
Jackie: A nom de what?
Midge: Nom de plume.
Susie: Sounds like a sex toy.
Jackie: Yeah, like it goes up your ass or something.

Jackie: All right, give it up for a very funny lady, whose name you're gonna want to remember... Fanny Midge.

Susie: You bombed.
Midge: But I'm funny.
Susie: Everybody bombs.
Midge: But I've seen Rickles five times. He's never bombed. The guys go on Jack Paar, they never bomb.
Susie: Yeah, that's 'cause they've spent years bombing and honing their act so you don't have to see them bomb. They've bombed, believe me.
Midge: Well, I'm not gonna bomb again.
Susie: No, you're gonna bomb again and again and again and again.
Midge: Why would anyone do this if they're just gonna bomb again and again and again?
Susie: Because it's part of the process.

Susie: Next time, prepare a little. Spontaneity works until it doesn't work. Then you're stuck.

Midge: Excuse me. Herb Smith?
Herb Smith: That depends. Are you with the government?

Herb: Verla, how much do you love your Herb?
Verla: With every bone in my body.
Herb: Bring us, uh, a half pastrami on rye and a half chopped liver on challah, a stuffed cabbage, some kasha varnishkes, and a bit of arugula... I know what you're thinking. "He's extremely Jewish."
Midge: And extremely hungry.
Herb: Guilty on all counts.

Herb: It's 15 bucks for the first five minutes of material. Sound good?

Abe: Just had to see it for myself...

Jackie: What stupid fucking name are using this time?
Midge: Sadie Morton.
Jackie: Why not?

Herb: Hey, Midge, one thought?.. The husband joke. When you hit him over the head with the frying pan, it's not "doink." It's... "Doy-yoy-yoy-yoy-yoink!"

Moishe: No.
Joel: What?
Moishe: Her. No.
Joel: What the hell are you talking about?
Moishe: You know what I'm talking about.
Joel: How would I know what you're talking about?
Moishe: She's young, she's emptyheaded, she doesn't eat. She's a shiksa.
Joel: So?
Moishe: Shiksas are for practice.

Shirley: No.

Midge: I once mixed tequila, absinthe and red wine. Came out pink. I'd never puked my favorite color before.

The Obliged

The Walking Dead 9×4


Eugene: Seems Mother Nature served us up a serious bowl of whoop-ass in the form of an overnight deluge, effectively annihilating the upstream levee.
Rick: What are the chances the bridge'll hold?
Eugene: Well, factoring in the undue stress of the rapid current against the supports, plus the added weight from the construction materials and whatnot, I take no pleasure in saying that, in the long term, it's bad.

Eugene: ...once merged, neither Tordelia nor Cordalt had a particularly good ring to them... The herd monikers are from the great book... of plays. They're a starter set of dead Shakespearean characters. Needed an endless pool.

Eugene: I am truly very sorry I didn't do more. Maybe if I'd just, well, read more books... Engineering, motivational, or otherwise... Maybe we would've... Maybe we could've...

Rick: You're not just a guy who read some books. You made something. You got us here. After everything... that's everything.

Negan: I'm proof that you're making a civilization, right?

Daryl: Man, you got that guy sitting in a cell like a damn symbol to all them assholes who can't wait to see things go back to the way that they were.
Rick: Keeping him alive is how we make sure it won't!
Daryl: No. Keeping him alive is givin' 'em hope that it will.

Daryl: Man, you keep askin' us to have faith in all these other people. Truth is... you don't have enough faith in us.

Rick: I never... I never asked anyone to follow me.
Daryl: I know. I know. But maybe you should've...

Negan: We were built for more. We still are, Michonne. Behind walls and bars, we die. But, see, out there... it's like an addiction.

Negan: There is nothing worse than nothing.
Michonne: Long as you're still breathing, it's not nothing.

Michonne: Eat, Negan. Food's good.

Rick: Brother... take my hand.

Anne: If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together. I need to go fast.
