The Chris Rock Test

Billions 5×2


Dr. Mark Rutenberg: Let's choose some people to use as resources. So, you're gonna need a comforter, a protector, and a wise person. They can be alive or dead, real or fictional.
Chuck Rhoades: Old days, Wendy filled all these roles.
Dr. Mark Rutenberg: These aren't those.

Chuck Rhoades: Uh... For my comforter, I'm going with Ira Schirmer. My best friend. For my protector, Alan Alda. ... Um, for wisdom... I am a voracious reader of crime fiction. And recently Darkly Dreaming Dexter has found its way to my night table.
Dr. Mark Rutenberg: So for a wise person, a serial killer? We may need to schedule more sessions.
Chuck Rhoades: Not him, his father, of sorts, Harry... he had all the answers.
Dr. Mark Rutenberg: Okay. A father figure... And finally, Uh, a safe space. A place where you...
Chuck Rhoades: Yale Law Library.

Chuck Rhoades: Well, once I vanquish him... Uh, then I'll be able to focus on Rhoades.
Dr. Mark Rutenberg: If you do the 'you' part, you may find the 'him' part doesn't matter so much.
Chuck Rhoades: I know that should be right. But it just doesn't feel right.

Mary Ann Gramm: Plantains, boiled and mashed. They call it mangú. Fills you up for a day in the fields.

I always forget, are you Law or Order?

Chuck Rhoades: ... And a move like this really awakens my Dark Passenger...
Kate Sacker: You've been reading Dexter again.
Chuck Rhoades: Indeed I have.
Kate Sacker: Thinking about dismemberment instead of prosecution?
Chuck Rhoades: Well, in a way. Dexter Morgan's Dark Passenger could only be sated by the brutal act of taking life. But, in order to make something decent of this innate drive, he developed a code. A way that he could kill, but for the 'right' reasons. I will do the same. I will loose my urges for dominion and victory only in the name of justice and in accordance with it.

Wendy Rhoades: He did this because I put out that statement... which I did because he was too busy hanging from the ceiling to do it himself.
Orrin Bach: And he did because you did because his parents and your parents because America because England because ancient Rome because primordial ooze.

Chuck Rhoades: You're damn fucking right... it's torture! And if even I don't like it...
Karl Allerd: Believe me, that was the sport version. You should see how I roll on covert hostile actors... Rolled. Not anymore. In fact... Not ever. Don't even know why I said that.

Mike Prince: I know your story as much as you know mine. How you came from nothing.
Bobby Axelrod: Yeah, it's true. Your dad was an insurance salesman. You ate dinner with him every night. My dad was gonzo. I ate dinner wherever I could.
Mike Prince: And yet you were still in the wealthiest state in the wealthiest country in the world. With access to the best healthcare, schools, infrastructure. And you were born white and male at a time that was a huge advantage in the greatest capital market in the history of mankind. The roads were paved for you, Bobby. Which is why you were able to move so quickly across them.
Bobby Axelrod: Wow. I knew you were wracked with guilt, but this takes it to a whole different level. Sure. The roads were paved. But I didn't even have a goddamned car!

Bobby Axelrod: Now, you see, this is where we are different. I don't pretend I'm an ordinary guy got lucky. I am a monster. A carnivorous fucking monster. It was success or oblivion for me just as it was for you, whether you want to admit it here or not. See, that's what all this is for you. A way to forget you are that monster. You have to be one. Or you could never have gotten here in the first place.

Bobby Axelrod: Fuckin' bankers...


Judge DeGiulio: I think that time I got waterboarded.

Chuck Rhoades: "Never let your head hang down. Never give up and sit down and grieve. Find another way."
Judge DeGiulio: Your dad?
Chuck Rhoades: Close. Nixon.
Judge DeGiulio: Inspiring.

Oscar Langstraat: The difference between blitz and regular chess? In the traditional game, when it's the other person's turn, you consider what you might do next. You let your mind wander, meditate, be open. With fast chess, you've anticipated their move and your response before they've made it.
Taylor Mason: Which game have we been playing?

Bobby Axelrod: Thought you found a place you loved?
Wendy Rhoades: Uh... the deal got "Chucked."

Bobby Axelrod: Hey, one more thing.
Wendy Rhoades: Yeah?
Bobby Axelrod: Gut him.
Wendy Rhoades: That's the plan.

Dollar Bill: This shit is a nerdy new world. I had to have it put into terms I understand!
Mafee: So let me translate for you: A man can manage two wives. But you try to keep four wives going, you can't keep everyone satisfied. Too many variables, not enough Bill. The whole thing crumbles.

Bobby Axelrod: Wags, you ever get tired of working for a living?
Mike Wagner 'Wags': Every damn day. But I've got a nasty addiction called money. So I do what I do. You?
Bobby Axelrod: No. Never. Until today.

Bobby Axelrod: You know, they call us traders 'gamblers.' The world economy's just one big casino, fueled by a giant debt bubble and computer driven derivatives. And there's only one thing better than being a gambler at a casino...
Mike Wagner 'Wags': That's being the house.
Bobby Axelrod: That is right. There's a systemized machine out there sucking capital from localities and injecting it into the global markets... where it can be used to speculate and manipulate. And if something goes wrong, there are bailouts and bail-ins, federal aid and easing. Where the government doesn't hunt you down, but instead gives you a nice soft net to land in.

Bobby Axelrod: I want to become a bank.
Mike Wagner 'Wags': In order to rob it?
Bobby Axelrod: In order that I don't have to. And to sleep like they do. And to die in my own fucking bed.

Chuck Rhoades: I have come to realize the ways in which Axe and I are alike. We both are possessed of and by a sort of monster. But unlike Axe, I am in control of mine. I have a code.
Taylor Mason: And I need that code?
Chuck Rhoades: No. You need that monster.
