Mystic River (2003)

Jimmy Markum: Did you ever think about how one little choice could change a whole life? I heard Hitler's mother wanted to abort him. At the last minute, she changed her mind. See what I mean?

Whitey Powers: The moment I laid eyes on him, I could tell he'd done time. They never lose that tension, it settles in their shoulders.
Sean Devine: He lost his daughter. That's what's in his shoulders.
Whitey Powers: No, that's in his stomach. The tension in his shoulders, that's prison.

Brendan Harris: I loved her so much. I'm never gonna feel that again. It doesn't happen twice.
Sean Devine: Doesn't happen once most times.

Whitey Powers: You know, you take away love, money or hate as motives... you're not left with a whole lot.

Dave Boyle: Know what I was thinking about, huh?... Vampires.
Celeste Boyle: What about them?
Dave Boyle: They're undead... but I think maybe there's something beautiful about it. Maybe one day you wake up and you forget what it's like... to be human. Maybe then it's okay.
Celeste Boyle: What the fuck you talking about, Dave?
Dave Boyle: Vampires, sweetie. Werewolves.

Sean Devine: Sometimes I think... I think all three of us got in that car. And all of this is just a dream, you know?
Jimmy Markum: A dream, sure.
Sean Devine: In reality... we're still 11-year-old boys locked in a cellar... imagining what our lives would have been if we'd escaped.
Jimmy Markum: Maybe you're right. Who the fuck knows?

Annabeth Markum: Jimmy. I wanna feel your heart. Last night... when I put the girls to bed, I told them how big your heart was. I told them how much you loved Katie... because you created her. And sometimes, your love for her was so big... it felt like your heart would explode... I told them their daddy loved them that much too. That he had four hearts, and they were all filled up... and aching with a love that meant we would never have to worry. And that their daddy would do whatever he had to for those he loved. And that is never wrong. That can never be wrong, no matter what their daddy had to do. And those girls fell asleep at peace.

Jimmy Markum: Why didn't you call?
Annabeth Markum: Because it's like I told the girls. Their daddy's a king. And a king knows what to do and does it. Even when it's hard. And their daddy will do whatever he has to for those he loves. And that's all that matters. Because everyone is weak, Jimmy. Everyone but us. We will never be weak. And you... You could rule this town.

Friends 1×12

Ross: You have to tell her. You have to tell her. It's your moral obligation as a friend... and as a woman. I think it's a feminist issue. Guys? Guys?
Chandler: Oh, yeah, you have to tell her.
Joey: Feminist issue? That's where I went.

Phoebe: Um, ahem. We haven't known each other for that long a time. And, um, there are three things that you should know about me. One, my friends are the most important thing in my life. Two, I never lie. And three, I make the best oatmeal-raisin cookies in the world.

Rachel: Mm, my God. Why have I never tasted these before?
Phoebe: Oh, I don't make them a lot... because I don't think it's fair to the other cookies.
Rachel: Ahem, God. Well, you're right. These are the best oatmeal-raisin cookies I've ever had.
Phoebe: Which proves that I never lie.

Phoebe: Are you okay?
Rachel: I need some milk.

Monica: Are you all right?
Rachel: Medium. Any cookies left?

Hard Times

Good Omens 1×3

Crowley: What's all this about? Build a big boat and fill it with a travelling zoo?
Aziraphale: From what I hear, God's a bit tetchy. Wiping out the human race. Big storm.
Crowley: All of them?
Aziraphale: Just the locals. I don't believe the Almighty's upset with the Chinese. Or the Native Americans. Or the Australians. Yet. And God's not actually going to wipe out all the locals. I mean, Noah, up there, his family, and his sons, their wives, they're all going to be fine.
Crowley: But they're drowning everybody else? Not the kids? You can't kill kids... Well, that's more the kind of thing you'd expect my lot to do.
Aziraphale: Yes, but when it's done, the Almighty's going to put up a new thing, called a "rain bow", as a promise not to drown everyone again.
Crowley: How kind.
Aziraphale: You can't judge the Almighty, Crawley. God's plans are--
Crowley: Are you going to say "ineffable"?

Crowley: Oy! Shem! That unicorn's going to make a run for it... Oh, it's too late. It's too late! Well, you've still got one of them.

Aziraphale: I'm not consulted on policy decisions, Crawley.
Crowley: Oh, I've changed it.
Aziraphale: Changed what?
Crowley: My name. "Crawl-y" just wasn't really doing it for me. It's a bit too... squirming-at-your-feet-ish.
Aziraphale: Well, you were a snake...

Aziraphale: So, what is it now? Mephistopheles? Asmodeus?
Crowley: Crowley.

Aziraphale: Did you, uh... ever meet him?
Crowley: Yes. Seemed a very bright young man. I showed him all the kingdoms of the world.
Aziraphale: Why?
Crowley: He's a carpenter from Galilee. His travel opportunities are limited... Urgh! That has got to hurt... What was it he said that got everyone so upset?
Aziraphale: "Be kind to each other."
Crowley: Oh, yeah. That'll do it.

Aziraphale: Crawley-- Crowley? Well... Fancy running into you here. Still a demon, then?
Crowley: What kind of stupid question is that, "Still a demon"? What else am I going to be, an aardvark? Salutaria.

Aziraphale: But, my dear fellow... well, they'd check. Michael's a... bit of a stickler. You don't want to get Gabriel upset with you.
Crowley: Oh, our lot have better things to do than verifying compliance reports from Earth. As long as they get the paperwork, they seem happy enough. As long as you're being seen to be doing something every now and again.

Crowley: Apparently, I have to ride a horse. Hard on the buttocks, horses. Major design flaw, if you ask me.

Crowley: We've done it before. Dozens of times now. The arrangement—
Aziraphale: Don't say that!
Crowley: Our respective head offices don't actually care how things get done. They just want to know they can cross it off the list.

Aziraphale: Please. No. Dreadful mistake, discorporating me. Oh, it'll be a complete nightmare... Animals!
Crowley: Animals don't kill each other with clever machines, angel. Only humans do that.

---

Aziraphale: I got peckish.
Crowley: "Peckish"?
Aziraphale: Well, if you must know, it was the crepes. You can't get decent ones anywhere but Paris. And the brioche.
Crowley: So you just popped across the Channel during a revolution, because you wanted something to nibble? Dressed like that?
Aziraphale: I have standards... I'd heard they were getting a bit carried away over here but—
Crowley: Yeah, this is not getting carried away. This is cutting off lots of people's heads very efficiently with a big head-cutting machine.

Aziraphale: Why are you here?
Crowley: My lot sent me a commendation for outstanding job performance.
Aziraphale: So all this is your demonic work?
Crowley: No. The humans thought it up themselves. Nothing to do with me.

Aziraphale: Well, I suppose I should say thank you for the, uh, rescue.
Crowley: Don't say that. If my people hear I rescued an angel, I'll be the one in trouble. And my lot do not send rude notes...

Aziraphale: The unsold copies of The Nice and Accurate Prophecies were destroyed by the publisher, which is, well, all of them. It never sold a single copy. But... I found the publisher's catalogue for 1655, and it does list one of Agnes Nutter's prophecies.
Mr. Harmony: What was it?
Aziraphale: Her prophecy for 1972. "Do not buy Betamax."
Mr. Glozier: Who is Peter Max?

Anathema Device: We can see auras.
Adam Young: And they are?
Anathema Device: This coloured forcefield surrounding someone. Everyone's got one. And I can look at its strengths and colour and tell you how you're feeling.
Adam Young: That's brilliant. Why don't they teach us about them at school?
Anathema Device: Because school is a repressive tool of the state.

Adam Young: So, what else don't they teach us at school?
Anathema Device: They're clubbing baby seals... They're cutting down the rain forest so you can get a cheap hamburger... Watch out for genetically modified food... Don't get me started on global warming... And that's because whales have huge brains, and they're hunting them for no reason... Nuclear power stations...

God: It might have helped Anathema to understand what was going on, if she understood the very simple reason why she couldn't see Adam's aura. It's for the same reason that people in Times Square can't see America.

Aziraphale: But there doesn't have to be another war, does there?
Gabriel: As much as we appreciate your hypotheticals, Aziraphale, I'm afraid we have other things to do. The Earth isn't going to just end itself, you know.

Waiter: Your main course, madam. Chicken froth on a reduction of broccoli gel with a mushroom foam. And the chef recommends that you have this first. A balloon filled with lavender-scented air. It is the first course.
Famine: It just occurred to me. I've never seen a room full of rich people so hungry before.

God: He's a businessman with a chain of restaurants. And he's about to launch something new. Food-free food.
Famine: Artificial bun. Artificial burger. Fries that have never seen a potato. Foodless sauces. And... we're rather proud of this: a completely artificial dill pickle.
Frannie: The shake doesn't contain any actual food content either.
Famine: Well, nobody's shakes contain any actual food content.

Frannie: Press this button when you hand over the Chow. And don't call it "food". It's Chow.
— Chow-brand unfood contains spun, plaited and woven protein molecules designed to be ignored by your digestive enzymes, no-cal sweeteners, oil replacements, fibrous materials, colourings and flavourings. Chow is an edible substance and must not be confused with food. Eating Chow can help you to lose weight, hair and kidney functions. May cause anal leakage. Enjoy your meal.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the Doctor Is In

Ezra Bloom: Maybe it's true, what some people say... Who you are is just a collection of choices... decisions that somehow... all add up to the person you become.
    You know, I used to think that your choices either made you good or bad... responsible or irresponsible. But maybe... maybe that's not quite right. Maybe it's more like your choices either make you more or make you less... yourself, who you really are, who you were always meant to be. Maybe we're all just hurtling toward our essential selves, and choice has nothing at all to do with it.
Patrick: Choice has everything to do with it. Only question is what choice are you gonna make?

Maddie: Jesus, when are you going to understand this? You were never in love with me. You were in love with who you were when you were with me.

Max: Who's to say what's real about a person? No, only they can know that. And even then... Can you honestly say you know who you really are?

Max: I said smile. You know how to smile, don't ya? Smile... Well, not like an idiot. Just a regular smile... You know. Uh, the trick is to smile when you're putting on a mustache. Otherwise, no matter how good the adhesive, your facial movement will force it off.

Patrick: Ezra Bloom... welcome to the FBI.

Maddie: Never could sleep the night before one of my weddings.

The Shock

Peaky Blinders 5×5

Polly: I save his life, he hugs him.

Oswald Mosley: I want to tell you good folk first... that with the dawn of a new decade... I will be setting a new course, setting up a new political movement here in the very heart of England. ... It will offer a new conception of politics in which the great character of the British, our true character, will be reborn.
     Many of you lost fortunes in the recent stock market crash. The men of money, the capitalists in New York, the Jews... the money-power, they... they run an international system in which the infinite mobility of money, its capacity to create financial chaos and panic, can bring down any government that dares for one moment to oppose it. .....
     These are policies that could not be pursued by British statesmen unless they were mad or the servants of Jewish finance! They are the ones who took your money, but it is I and those who know this truth who will light a flame the atheists cannot extinguish! ....
     But hear this, those of you who fought the Jew war for nothing, you brave men, you will join hands with the angry youth of Birmingham and Manchester and London and Liverpool and declare that England lives tonight and marches on!
I say all this to you now... because I believe it is in places like this, with people like you, that we will have to pass on our message directly. Our message can be summarised with these words... Britain first! ....
     And because this is our message, I doubt it'll be reported fairly in the press. I'm afraid the newspapers of this country are owned by the same vested interests who took your money. They sell to the people false news... to raise the interests of the faction and the section above the interests of the nation.
     So hear my words and pass them on to those with ears to hear. And be reminded that when the new decade begins, there will be the birth of a new political party which will speak for you. ... This party, this new movement, this revolution... will be called the British Union of Fascists.

Lizzie: What the fuck are you doing, dealing with a man like that, Tommy?
Tommy: Yep. You're going to have to trust me.
Polly: Again.

Oswald Mosley: I'm going to fuck the swan.

Oswald Mosley: Religion was a beast, but it's dead. You have to ride the new thing when it comes. Like a horse. You grab it.

Oswald Mosley: When we succeed, even the King will not be above us.

Oswald Mosley: Power. Like plugging into the mains. A lighthouse beam. Your millions of dollars safe in Switzerland, and access to every dirty-minded swan in England.

Oswald Mosley: Oh, and also, Shelby... drink less.

Linda: I've got a better idea. You stay here... living inside your head. Inside your life. Inside your war.

Linda: I'm glad I didn't shoot you. It would have been a kindness.

Younger: I heard about his speech at your house the other night. Was favourably reported as the passionate and spontaneous outpouring of a man moved by the emotions of a ballet.
Tommy: Reported where?
Younger: Daily Mail. Morning Post. Daily Mirror. It's upper, middle and working class, all united in admiration.

Tommy: Please don't listen to my sister's opinions of me. They are always... hopeful. Therefore they are always wrong.

Arthur: Let's get back to Birmingham, eh? Get back to fucking civilisation and find out who's been talking.

Tommy: You're in here, Barney, you have no hands, there is no daylight... and you don't want to die.
Barney: No, I don't... Because one day things might change.

Tommy: Well, I would suggest the most competent organiser of men in the south... is Alfie Solomons.
McCavern: He's dead. And he's Jewish! And I'd say as far as our boss is concerned, him being dead would be less of an obstacle than him being Jewish.

Tommy: I had more complicated strategies in mind for Mr Mosley. Then he spoke badly to my wife.

Тана Френч — В лесной чаще (2/2)

<< Начало

&  В мигрени хорошо то, что ею можно объяснить все: она выбивает человека из колеи, она от него не зависит, может длиться, сколько ему нужно, и никто никогда не докажет, что ее нет.

&  Я уже говорил, что предпочитаю недосказанность определенности. Это означает, что я всегда был малодушен.

&  Инстинкт подсказывал нам, что дружба должна умирать тихо.

&  Никого из них еще не арестовали, при желании они могли в любой момент уйти из здания, и мы не имели права остановить их. До сих пор мы, как обычно, играли на естественном стремлении любого человека быть на хорошем счету у властей и вообще производить приятное впечатление.

&  Он перегнулся через стол и непринужденно беседовал, поигрывая с кофейной чашкой, словно пришел устраиваться на работу. Я уже видел такое с теми, кто был арестован впервые: они еще не привыкли смотреть на нас как на врагов и, как только шок после задержания проходил, вели себя дружелюбно и с готовностью шли навстречу, будто это доставляло им большое облегчение.

&  Психопаты не знают, что такое настоящий страх; для них важнее агрессия, скука или наслаждение. ... Психопатам нравится властвовать над другими людьми — манипулировать, причинять боль.

&  Человеческое любопытство неистребимо — по крайней мере до тех пор, пока за знания не приходится платить слишком большую цену.

&  Жертва — это человек, с которым вы никогда не познакомитесь. ...значение имела только ее смерть и цепочка дальнейших обстоятельств.

  ... Я бросил сигарету, застегнул на все пуговицы пальто и направился к машине.”

The Director: The High Table wants your life. How can you fight the wind? How can you smash the mountains? How can you bury the ocean? How can you escape from the light? Of course, you can go to the dark. But they're in the dark, too.

The Director: Where did you want to go?
John Wick: Casablanca.
The Director: The path to paradise begins in hell...

Winston: I've been of service for over 40 years. Under the Table. Serving the Table.
The Adjudicator: Everything is under the Table.

Bowery King: Welcome to my Mission Control. Brain stem of my operation. The information super flyway. From whence I control the word on the street, the way of the world.

Sofia: You a dog person, John?

The Adjudicator: Hold out your helping hands and pledge your fealty.
The Director: I have served, I will be of service.

John Wick: I will serve. I will be of service.

Winston: The real question is, who do you wish to die as? The Baba Yaga? The last thing many men ever see? Or as a man who loved and was loved by his wife? Who do you wish to die as, Jonathan?

Winston: This haven is safe no more.
John Wick: Are services still off limits to me?
Winston: Under the circumstances, your privileges are reinstated immediately. What do you need?
John Wick: Guns. Lots of guns.
Winston: Let's make a withdrawal...

The Adjudicator: The High Table accepts your fealty. But what about him? What are we going to do about John Wick?
Winston: He has to die. Sorry, Jonathan.

Bowery King: So... Let me ask you, John. How do you feel? 'Cause I am really pissed off. You pissed, John? Are you?

Тана Френч — В лесной чаще

Дублинский отдел по расследованию убийств — 1

  “Представьте лето из детского кино, снятого в маленьком городке в конце пятидесятых годов. ...

&  Прошу не забывать: я детектив. У таких, как я, отношения с правдой очень своеобразные: крепкие, но какие-то исковерканные, как кривое стекло, где все предметы искажены. Это ради правды мы трудимся денно и нощно, она цель и смысл каждого нашего поступка, за ней мы гоняемся упорно и рьяно, словно цепные псы, не гнушаясь любым обманом и враньем. Правда для нас — самая желанная женщина в мире, а мы ее ревнивые любовники, злобно отталкивающие всякого, кто посмеет бросить на нее дерзкий взгляд. Мы безбожно предаем ее с утра до вечера, с головой уходим в ложь, а потом оборачиваемся к ней и шепчем с радостной улыбкой: «Милая, все это только для тебя».

&  Прежде чем начать свою историю, хочу предупредить: я обожаю правду. И вру.

&  Люди вообще злы и безжалостны, а что касается жестокости бесстрастного ума, который ловко нащупывает ваши слабые места и легко манипулирует фактами, желая добить и сломать вас до конца, — это, похоже, самая чистая, утонченная и цивилизованная форма варварства.

&  Современная жизнь в быстром, энергичном и заряженном двойным эспрессо Дублине имеет большое преимущество — любую перемену в настроении можно легко оправдать кофейным голоданием. В эпоху чая подобный номер не прошел бы — по крайней мере при нынешнем темпе жизни.

Grigory Mishin: I studied business at Harvard, like you, Mr. Godman. How is your proposal any different?

Alex Godman: I work on your behalf. I don't work for you. I don't mean that as a mark of disrespect. I simply think it's the best way for all of us to make money.

Is a Shark Good or Bad?

Imposters 1×5

Max: First dead body?

Hammer Man: Are you a good guy or a bad guy?
Lenny Cohen: I'm not a guy at all.
Hammer Man: Fine. Are you a good girl or a bad girl?
Lenny Cohen: Let me see... Is a shark good or bad?

Hammer Man: If you're bad, I have to smash you with my Hammer of Justice.
Lenny Cohen: Oh, please don't smash me with your hammer of justice.
Hammer Man: Are you good or bad?
Lenny Cohen: What if I won't say? Or don't know? Can your Hammer of Justice tell if I'm good or bad?
Hammer Man: What? No. My Hammer of Justice is just, like, my tool. I'm Hammer Man.
Lenny Cohen: Hm. Look... Think about it this way, Hammer Man: I'm a tool, too. So what do I know about being good or bad?
Hammer Man: You're no fun.
Lenny Cohen: Not true, Hammer Man. First, I get to have so much fun. I'm like the shark's teeth. Or that Hammer of Justice you're holding. Or maybe I'm like the fire that's burned since the beginning of time. No one knows who started it, and no one can put it out. But I get to be the fire. So maybe I'm not good or bad. I just am... Sorry. Was that too poetic? A bit forced? All right. Time for you to go home.

Richard Evans: Hey, are you sure you wanna use red? We always used red for everything must go sales. It kinda screams desperation, no?

Lenny Cohen: Chin up, Max. It's better to be sad than dead.

Max: He said that Patrick Campbell could be one of our biggest scores. The numbers aren't good; they are amazing.
Maddie: Not in a million years, Max.
Max: Oh, yes, you most definitely will, and so will I. Because the payoff... the payoff is huge. This is the big one. ...
Maddie: I give up, Max. What's the payoff?
Max: We get to live. We get to keep breathing fresh air and keep drinking good booze.

Max: And don't be arrogant. This is the life we chose. There are rules. We don't get to break them because we're stupid enough to fall in love. Now get going. I'll see you in the game.

&  Вы скажете: а смысл? Но ТЕЛЕВИЗЕР создан не для того, чтобы транслировать смыслы. ТЕЛЕВИЗЕР – умный ящик, существующий для того, чтобы зритель конструировал из случайных фраз произвольные абстракции. Именно поэтому проклинать ТЕЛЕВИЗЕР бессмысленно. Если вы не умеете им пользоваться, вы так и будете прислушиваться к белому шуму, который доносится оттуда. А ведь издают его люди, которые ничем не лучше вас, и им точно так же нечего сказать.

&  И еще такая хорошая забава. Купите два ТЕЛЕВИЗЕРА, в одном оставьте изображение, но выключите звук, в другом оставьте только звук, но не смотрите на изображение. Если получается несмешно, попробуйте комбинировать каналы, пока не станет смешно. В жизни вообще всегда надо комбинировать до тех пор, пока не станет смешно.

&  Из пяти вещей всегда нужны четыре, и главная всегда не первая.

&  Когда я буду стариком, если я буду стариком, – я буду много спать, чтобы не позориться. В моей любимой книге об этом сказано: «Воистину жизнь человека длится одно мгновение, поэтому живи и делай что хочешь. Глупо жить в этом мире, подобном сновидению, каждый день встречаться с неприятностями и делать только то, что тебе не нравится. Но важно никогда не говорить об этом молодым, потому что неправильно понятое слово может принести много вреда.
     Я лично люблю спать. Со временем я собираюсь все чаще уединяться у себя в доме и проводить остаток жизни во сне».

&  Смысл жизни в том, чтобы быть на стороне Бога и чтобы ему было интересно смотреть.

&  Напоминаю: сквозь одежду нельзя. Сквозь одежду ребенок энергетикой не делится. Надо именно слегка, так сказать, обнажить пуп и поцеловать. При этом можно про себя повторять ОМ МАНИ ПАДМЕ ХУМ – что в переводе с санскрита означает, как известно, ВОТ ЦЕЛУЮ РЕБЕНКА ПУП.

  ... Вы пришли.”

Herr Starr: It's over... no Messiah, no dance, no apocalypse.

Herr Starr: Him... We wouldn't be in this mess if he hadn't been caught whoring around.
Jesus: One time, okay? And it was 2,000 years ago! And she wasn't a whore.

The Saint of Killers: What do you think now?
Jesse: About what?
The Saint of Killers: God. You still got questions for Him?

Cassidy: On a burger? It's very surprising. Hump here sure loves it. Look at that!

Jesse: You made us this way.
God: I made you in My own image. A little thanks would be nice.
Jesse: Thank You? For what? Kids with cancer? The Kardashians?

God: This Creation's been... well, it's been a nice run. See you at the Apocalypse.

Tulip: Feels like the end almost, huh?

McMafia #1.7

Oleg: Despite what people think, we do not want any problems with the British. In a world without conflicts... we don't profit. Don't you think so?

Oleg: No. Don't drink the tea.

Vadim Kalyagin: If you choose this life... you have to be ready to give up everything.
Alex Godman: I'm not.

Dmitri Godman: I tell you, my friend Oleg knows everyone in Moscow... I'll take you back with me. I want you to be proud of your country.

Alex Godman: What happened to him?
Dmitri Godman: They cut off his head and buried him under asphalt.
Alex Godman: What did he do wrong?
Dmitri Godman: In Russia we live according to a code. He didn't stand by his word. Now, when you threaten to kill someone you say... Veniamin will be happy to see you.

Antonio Mendez: You're not a drug dealer, Alex.
Alex Godman: Not a dealer. A broker. And I'm not doing this for profit. I am doing this to survive.

Oksana Godman: You know how many men in this city I could have had affairs with?
Jennifer: Lots, I'm sure.
Oksana Godman: I'm an idiot. I fall in love with the same man... all my life.

Guillermo Alegre: That's why it's so hard to do business in your country. You don't know who's in charge, who has authority, who's trying to cheat you...

Guillermo Alegre: My confidence means very little. ... The problems start if I lose my money... In banking, when you introduce someone to someone else and the deal goes wrong, people are upset. But no-one gets hurt. In my business, it's different...

Guillermo Alegre: There's something else that you need to understand. It doesn't matter how smart you are. When reason comes up against force... force always wins.

Rebecca Harper: It's so easy to forget that you grew up in a tiny little flat in Moscow. That you were a rough little boy with no money and no education. Then everything changed and then you got rich... and they sent you here to learn to pretend to be civilised. But you're not. You've got manners and you do some of the right things, but... that's not who you are.

&  Если вам нужны деньги, вы скорее всего работаете.

&  Вообще проследить, на верном вы пути или нет, всегда просто: если сопротивление возрастает – значит, на верном. Если среди дня вас клонит в сон, ни одно дело не хочется доводить до конца, вообще ничего не хочется – значит, все демоны мира объединились и обступили вас, чтобы вы так и зависли в апатии.

&  Добираясь до собственной души, вы почти наверняка обнаружите то, что вам совсем не понравится. Если она будет трудиться и день и ночь, и день и ночь – не факт, что в мире вообще что-то останется. Душа дается не для того, чтобы обеспечить нормальную жизнь здесь. Для жизни здесь существуют ... интеллект, чувство юмора и сентиментальность. Душа нужна для жизни во втором круге, где совершенно другие условия. Здесь она часто вообще мешает.

&  Научитесь понимать, что душа ни за, ни против; душа – та непрозрачность, сдвиг, который мешает вам ощущать радость или тоску в чистом виде. Душа – то, что примешивается, неуловимым образом прибавляется, искажает оптику.

&  ... За вами не придут. Кому, на хер, нужен идиот в мокрой простыне на одной ноге?
     Только Богу. Смысл нашей жизни в том, чтобы ему не было скучно, другого нет и неизвестно.

&  То, что делает с нами жизнь, неправильно, а самое главное, я не понимаю, зачем она это делает. Если бы понял, может, было бы легче. В жизни, которая так безжалостно, бесстыдно, бессмысленно отбирает все, включая смысл и человеческое достоинство, я вижу теперь одну безусловную ценность, единственное, что не стареет, – это, как вы уже догадались, деньги, и только о них мы будем с вами заботиться.

&  Моя проблема не в том, что мне не с кем говорить, а в том, что я вообще не хочу говорить в общепринятом смысле: с какого-то момента меня не интересует обмен информацией, потому что информации хватает своей. Я хочу, чтобы собеседник развил мою мысль с того момента, на котором я остановился, – но для этого я должен сначала ему эту мысль пояснить, а он, не дослушав, предъявит мне 200 идиотских возражений на каждое слово. Я не хочу спорить, потому что любой спор означает лишь, что у нас разный опыт и что мы, возможно, не нравимся друг другу. Я не хочу выслушивать чужие истории, потому что любопытство – примета молодости. Я даже не знаю, о чем можно вообще говорить с другим человеком. ... С какого-то возраста ... разговор теряет смысл. Возможно, одна из причин в том, что коммуникация становится тотальной, к Интернету подключены все, новая информация является ко всем одновременно, делиться ею бессмысленно, потому что она всюду. Скоро эта связь – пока по желанию, а потом, думаю, и принудительно – будет вживляться в мозг, как чип. Беседа исчезнет как жанр, да и сейчас уже каждый второй ловит себя на том, что гости приходят, а говорить не о чем.
     Правда, останется любимый жанр каждого – говорить о себе. ...

&  Лучшее, что могут сегодня сделать выбывшие ... это послушать Третий концерт Рахманинова. Как показывает практика, это лучший парашют.

&  На вопрос, зачем это надо, я мог бы ответить эзотерическим образом. Эзотерический ответ заключается в том, что все знают, как звучит хлопок двух ладоней по мягкому месту, но никто не видел, куда дует ветер, а потому делай, идиот, что тебе говорят.

&  Ну вот, пожалуйста, суп «МЕЧТА». Самые умные уже догадались, что МЕЧТА – это аббревиатура: Мускат, Ежевика, Чечевица, Трепанг, Артишок. А теперь смотри, что у тебя получилось. У тебя получился обед конформиста, потому что ты всю жизнь соглашался на замены. И вот вместо набора «МЕЧТА» перед тобой Горох, Облепиха, Ваниль, Нототения, Огурец. Аббревиатуру сложишь сам.

Jakob: But the pheromones...
Jean: Yes, just... send off powerful signals of... attraction.

Otis: Adam thought As You Like It was a song by Jay-Z. And only you could turn the topic of dreams into existential angst.
Maeve: Pessimists outlive optimists.
Otis: We're in for the long haul, then.

McMafia #1.5

Semiyon Kleiman: You think they're any different to Vadim? You are only changing an enemy for more dangerous friends.

Alex Godman: ...the only reason we're in business together is because of my uncle. There isn't anything I wouldn't do for him or my family.
Semiyon Kleiman: You'll avenge him, and then what? It's a gift to be able to convince yourself of something and believe it with all your heart. You think you're doing this for him? You are doing this for power. The same as all of us. Except there's no telling how far you'll go.

Joseph: It says on your card you're still a banker.

Alex Godman: Why so-so?
Vadim Kalyagin: I'm looking forward to going home. I'm not good in this heat, you know? I hate this sunshine. Every day, everywhere you have sun, sun, sun.

&  Презрение – закрытость для нового опыта. Ведь в презрении упражняются, как правило, ничтожества, больше смерти боящиеся любых перемен.
     Ненависть – чувство легкодоступное, но все же оно свидетельствует о некотором масштабе личности. Влюбляться способны и сволочи, и святые. Тоска – вообще примета высоких душ. Презрение – свойство души мелкой и чаще всего поверхностной...

&  Мы часто смотрим на себя именно глазами презирающих нас людей, и это самый горький, чаще всего вредоносный, хотя иногда спасительный опыт. Ненавидеть можно равного, но презирать – только низшего; смотреть на себя с ненавистью – значит почти наверняка себя преувеличивать, ибо врагов своих мы преувеличиваем щедро и страстно. Они кажутся нам могущественными, все про нас понимающими. Презрение – совсем иное дело: это взгляд человека, обладающего истиной, на человека, обладающего оспиной. Разумеется, на самом деле человек, обладающий истиной, никого и никогда презирать не будет – просто потому, что ему уже не нужно самоутверждаться; презрение – удел тех, кто ничего толком не знает. Однако само действие презрения таково, что противиться ему в первый момент почти невозможно, – и прежде чем вы успеете сообразить, что имеете дело с ничтожеством, это ничтожество уже всадит в вас свое жало. Самый верный вариант при столкновении с презрением – быстро вспомнить, что этот человек, позирующий в качестве верховного арбитра, ничего не знает, не умеет, а злится на вас только потому, что вы, наверное, чему-то успели научиться. Но вспомнить это под ледяным взглядом ничтожества – не самая легкая задача.

&  Бить прохожего ногой – мерзко, но отталкиваться ногой от земли – иногда необходимо; без малой толики снобизма нет умения блюсти себя, удерживаться от дурных поступков, оберегать честь, наконец. Нам надо уметь презирать, но пользоваться этим оружием мы должны ограниченно. На любой агрессивный комментарий надо уметь ответить что-нибудь вроде «Мнение насекомых должно интересовать энтомологов» и сделать соответствующее лицо. Если собеседник знает слово «энтомолог», ему будет обидно. Если не знает, он может вообще треснуть.

X-Men: Apocalypse (2016) <<

Jean Grey: Who are we? Are we simply what others want us to be? Are we destined to a fate beyond our control? Or can we evolve? Become... something more?

Jean Grey: Special is just a nice word for...
Professor Charles Xavier: Weird? Or crazy?... Yep, sometimes it is. Sometimes, it can be a word used to describe people who are significant. Or amazing. Or... Or just... just really cool.

Raven: It's funny. I can't actually remember the last time you were the one risking something. And by the way, the women are always saving the men around here. You might wanna think about changing the name to X-Women.

Raven: It's not our life, Hank. It's his. What do you think the "X" in X-Men stands for?

Jean Grey: And don't try to lie. I can read your mind.

Ororo Munroe: Sometimes you want to believe people are something that they are not. And then, by the time you realize who they are... it's too late.

Vuk: This truly is an unfortunate development.
John Grey: Why-Why is that?
Vuk: Because it's so much easier to understand your language when you're not screaming.

Erik Lehnsherr: You're always sorry, Charles. And there's always a speech. But nobody cares anymore.

Imposters 1×2

Ezra Bloom: How we doing?
Richard Evans: Well, with 79% of our inventory gone, we have made 12% of our projection.
Ezra Bloom: What the hell?!
Richard Evans: Look, man, I'm used to selling cars, all right? You overprice, reduce price, sell. It's simple. Your weird kitchen stools aren't exactly making it easy.

Richard Evans: Look, check out this guy. He's what we call a "beta-alpha."Thinks he's an alpha male, and he's actually a beta male.
Ezra Bloom: Sounds about right. That's my brother.

Ezra Bloom: You know, one of those books said you can't cheat an honest man.
Richard Evans: Yeah, I read that. I still don't get it.
Ezra Bloom: It's like there are people who set themselves up to be taken because they're, you know, greedy or selfish or mean... You know what? We need some ground rules. We need, like, a code of conduct for how far we're willing to go. Like you said, we can't just steal from normal people, right?
Richard Evans: You know what else? Bushido, the samurai code... the true warrior must hold that loyalty, courage, and honor are important above all else.
Ezra Bloom: Nice.

Ezra Bloom: No old people.
Richard Evans: Sure.
Ezra Bloom: No kids. No people who look, you know, sad.

Дмитрий Быков — Квартал (2/8)

<< Начало

&  Вспоминать, как вы понимаете, мне уже совсем не хочется, но я понимаю, что зачем-то это надо. На самом деле я понимаю, что это никому не надо ни за чем, потому что никакая отдельная жизнь не имеет никакой особой цены. Царства уходили, и ничего – что нам отдельный человек? Этих людей со всеми их застольями смыло целиком и непоправимо, ничто из их разговоров не имеет больше смысла, их имен нет даже в Интернете, потому что они не вели дневников и не дожили до социальных сетей; ...

&  Мне и поговорить о них не с кем, и рассказать о них некому, и даже вас я могу заставить слушать о них, только пообещав вам за это денег. Может быть, впрочем, это понимание – ничто никому не нужно, и ни от кого ничего не останется, и никто никого не лучше – тоже входит важной составляющей в то состояние, к которому я вас веду, – в состояние денег, или, вернее, в состояние, когда их тоже не нужно. А может быть, вот эта манера впихивать еду в ребенка – рассказывая ему сказку или свою жизнь – не что иное, как попытка задобрить слушателя: я рассказываю тебе о своем никому не нужном опыте, а ты за это ешь кашку.

&  ...лето начинает переламываться в сторону осени, а осень – тоже хорошо, сейчас я это уже понимаю, потому что начинаю уже рассматривать смерть не как конец всему, а как дембель. Устаешь с годами, что тут такого.

&  Ощущение безграничного счастья продолжается от нескольких секунд до пары минут и начинает уходить ровно в тот момент, как вы его осознаете и вербализуете, пусть мысленно. Штука в том, что, как только вы говорите себе: «Я счастлив», вы тем признаете и понимаете, что это состояние необычное и что все остальное время вам как-то иначе. И включившийся мозг услужливо предлагает нам, естественно, антоним: когда я не счастлив, я несчастлив. Конечно, это ерунда, нельзя же все время жить в состоянии оргазма, и мы должны понимать, что отсутствие счастья еще не предполагает несчастности, как и антоним любви не ненависть, а равнодушие. Но без этого ошибочного чувства не запомнишь момента счастья: проскочит, как холодный пельмень.

The Loop

Peaky Blinders 5×4

Grace: Happy or sad, Tommy?

McCavern: My white flag is a flag of truce. Yours is more a flag of surrender.
Tommy: Whatever you say, Mr McCavern, the colour is the same. The outcome is the same.

Tommy: No, nothing here is stolen, Mr McCavern. Charlie simply finds things before they're lost.

Tommy: Also in the envelope is a cheque for £500. For your wife. She can use it to buy a black dress, rent a black horse with black feathers, to pull a black carriage with your body in it, should you break the terms of the white flag.

Arthur: Oh, yeah. Shelby Company Limited, we can offer them all the lovely things people like. Hm? We can also offer 'em protection from the things they don't like.

Mrs Connors: The new ones I will call Thomas, Arthur and Finn. That'll make him pause, even when he's drunk.

Arthur: I don't know how you do this, Tom. I really don't!
Tommy: You learn things, Arthur. That woman has only two rooms downstairs. Her husband has lost his job and he beats her. And yet, the thing that brings her to see her Member of Parliament is songbirds. Now, that's politics, Arthur.

Brilliant Chang: My name is Brilliant Chang.
Arthur: Brilliant Chang is dead.
Brilliant Chang: Perhaps. Sometimes I wonder, "Is this heaven?" Doesn't smell like heaven... so I would say I have survived.

Arthur: Do you want to die again, Chang? Huh?
Brilliant Chang: Good. The guns are pointed. Now we are all concentrating. The moment is now pure.

Tommy: If you die here today, we'll bury you face down with no hands. You'll go straight to hell.
Brilliant Chang: I don't care about rituals. I am a rationalist, Mr Shelby.

Tommy: A foreman at the dock estimated there was seven tonnes of the stuff. I made a note at the time. I spoke to that particular foreman and I worked out that seven tonnes of pure opium crystals would be worth... approximately, £1,190,000 on international markets.

Aberama Gold: Well, Holy Lord God, Tommy Shelby OBE, does your vanity have no limits?
Tommy: I believe it is called "the ego" these days.

Tommy: You can't read?
Aberama Gold: I don't read.
Tommy: It's Swan Lake.
Aberama Gold: Ballet?
Tommy: Yeah. Apparently, it's about love. Polly says that, for now, love must defeat revenge.

Tommy: ...This comprehensive document, pleading for Government intervention in all areas of economic life, represents not just socialism, but a new breed of National Socialism. And I believe... I believe that the leaders of my own party have been very foolish to reject it.

Mosley: Such rogues we are, aren't we?.. Sing like songbirds in the House... And then, afterwards, relieve ourselves in the bodies of whomever we choose. Two men for whom forbidding is forbidden.

---

Michael: And this, erm, this coal... is it snow white?
Polly: No. Golden brown.

Michael: Tommy knows what opium does to people?
Polly: Tommy knows what whisky does to people. He got an OBE for selling it.

McCavern: Well, who would've thought I'd be doing business with fucking Gypsy Catholic scum?... Aye, but you're OK.
Tommy: Yeah, I'm only OK until I'm not OK. Then I'm really not.

Mosley: An evening with a tribe of Gypsies... When you've unpacked, there should be a girl laid on for you. Mr Shelby is a socialist, and believes in equality of service for all classes.

Michael: The magazines say that it's all straight lines and simplicity in the 1930s. Deco is dead.

Polly: Mr Shelby asked me to tell you that he's busy with the catering preparations and will be joining you shortly. In the meantime, and while you're waiting, we have opium, cocaine and brandy.
Mosley: I don't use opium or cocaine, and brandy is for after dinner, not before.

Polly: All things are available... except the ballerinas.
Mosley: And who, might I ask, are you?
Polly: I am a queen amongst the Romanies. And I too am unavailable.

Mosley: You were indisposed when I arrived. In society, you greet a guest, you don't leave them hanging... looking around like a fucking dog!

Mosley: By the way, your brandy before dinner thing amuses me, but none of the maids are of interest. And I despise the use of drugs.

Mosley: Mr Shelby. I know you had no classical education, but I just realised you are the perfect balance between the gods Dionysus and Apollo. Irrational frenzy controlled by reason and self-reflection. Do you know the work of Friedrich Nietzsche?
Tommy: No.
Mosley: Freud?
Tommy: Yes.
Mosley: Ah.

Polly: Let's fuck before the swan dies.

Linda: May you Peaky Blinders all rot... in fucking hell.
