Sex Education #3.8

Jackson: So... I acted a bit like an idiot yesterday.
Cal: Mm-hmm. I think your cishet brain maybe exploded a bit. You didn't have to run away.

Otis Milburn: How are you a failure?
Hope Haddon: Because my... my body won't... won't... It doesn't do the... the one thing it's supposed to do. The one thing I want it to do. But you can't have everything, I suppose. And dwelling on it makes me weak.
Otis Milburn: I don't think you're weak. I think saying you feel disappointed by something you want but maybe can't have makes you honest. And admitting your vulnerabilities makes you courageous.

Otis Milburn: There's someone called Maeve, and she's really important to me. I know I don't really understand anything about love, but I think she's my person.
Jean Milburn: Oh, sweetheart. I don't know if any of us understand much about love. I just know we feel it when we feel it. I can't wait to meet her.

The Roomies

Grace and Frankie 7×1

Robert: But we're in a romantic place!
Sol: There is no chance for romance in our ex-wives' house.
Robert: .... Didn't stop us before.

Grace: I went from being a woman who didn't know her husband was gay to being a woman who didn't know her husband was a criminal. Not sure it's an upgrade.
Frankie: Well, next time, just marry a gay criminal and check off all the boxes.

Frankie: I hid it in four places. And I've got a simple system to remember where they are. Each stash is named after the Beatle most associated with his hiding place... Paul: Mrs. Paul's Fish Sticks. Brilliant? I think so.
Grace: And how stoned were you when you came up with this?

Grace: Why is this John? Don't tell me.
Frankie: "Sitting on a corn flake, waiting for the van to come."
Grace: Oh, great. The van is gonna come and take us to prison if we don't get the cash out by tomorrow morning.

Frankie: First, I need to do some Reiki on Sol's hoohah.
Grace: What?
Frankie: On the DL, since the operation, he and Robert have been having some problems downstairs. You know what I mean.
Grace: You used the word "hoohah." How could I not know?
Frankie: So as an Internet-certified Reiki healer, it's my duty to help him.
Grace: And we flooded his house.
Frankie: Yeah, I know. I feel bad about that too.

Frankie: Oh! That's where Ringo is.
Grace: What, the kayak? Like "Yellow Submarine."
Frankie: Oh, that would have been good too.

Frankie: Uh, I know for a fact that you can still use bills after you've peed on them.
Grace: Never ever tell me how you know that.

Brianna: Think this is my first game of "Big Muffin, Small Muffin"? I invented "Big Muffin, Small Muffin!"

Frankie: We just have to find George and we're home free. Didn't he write "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"?
Grace: What weeps? Besides me if we don't find that money.
Frankie: The song is actually called "While My Guitar Gently Sleeps."
Grace: No, it isn't. Guitars don't sleep.
Frankie: Sure they do. That's why you have to put them away in their little beds. Which is why I put it in the bedroom with the queen bed because he's British.
Grace: The only words I understood were "queen bed," and that's where I'll look.
Frankie: Or is it "While My Guitar Gently Sweeps"?...

Grace: Oh, what the hell, Frankie? There's only four Beatles.
Frankie: Oh, God. I forgot about Pete Best.

Frankie: That's right, Sol. You are in this up to your eyeballs. And you're the tallest one here. So do that math.

Downton Abbey 4×7

Mrs. Hughes: I wonder if it's necessary for Mr. Bates to go with him. It'll be very hard for Anna to lose his support at this time.
Mr. Carson: Mrs. Hughes, I hope we are good employers. But even we expect to get what we pay for.

Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham: Good-bye, Mama.
Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: Good-bye, my dear. Try not to let those Yankees drive you mad.

James Kent: What a bonus for Mr. Barrow. A trip to America out of the blue.
Mrs. Patmore: I wouldn't fancy it. All steaks and ketchup and hail fellow well met.
James Kent: What do you know about it?
Mrs. Patmore: I go to the pictures too, you know.

Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: Does no one care whether I live or die?
Isobel Crawley: There, there. This will make you feel better.
Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: Hmm? Compared to what?

Mrs. Hughes: I should leave the front door open with the key in the lock. And they can turn it when they come in.
Mr. Carson: You're not frightened of burglars?
Mrs. Hughes: Mr. Carson, this is England!

Isobel Crawley: I can stay all evening. Perhaps we can play cards...
Dr. Clarkson: You will be rewarded in Heaven.

Reclamation

Fear the Walking Dead 7×6

Althea: 50-ton nuke couldn't take you out. Just an empty gas tank.

Morgan: I don't understand. If they're looking to kill us, how'd you get them to rescue everybody?
Althea: It's complicated.

Althea: Thank you for your help.

Morgan: Just tell me the truth. ... It's about the only thing we can't run away from, Al. I know I couldn't. The truth.

Morgan: You're part of the story, Al. You were before, and you are now. Hell, if you're alive, you are part of the story.

Morgan: You are the story. I'm grateful I got to be a part of yours. And I'm very glad that you got to be a part of mine.

Sex Education #3.7

Eric Effoing: What kind of kiss? A peck-on-the-cheek kiss or a kiss-kiss?
Otis Milburn: Um, it was a kiss-kiss.

Aimee Gibbs: It's like Simone de Beauvoir says, "From the hour you're born, you begin to die." I think it means "live for the day." Yeah. Once I realized she wasn't a lad called Simon, her writing started to make a lot more sense.

Michael Groff: I just wanted to see you. And I just wanted to say that I know I was hard to live with, that I'm rigid, and I'm uptight. I don't know how to be spontaneous or anything close to happy. But I do want to change. I want to try to be the man that you want.

Otis Milburn: If I can't be with you romantically, I still wanna see you every day. Nothing feels right when you're not around.

Hold the Night

Chapelwaite 1×8

James Boone: I have experience defending ships against marauders. With proper fortification, five can hold 50.

James Boone: Tonight will reveal much about ourselves. There will be times when you lose heart, and you want to quit. Do not.

Mary Dennison: I'm different only because I know death. I've been there... and returned. But we all die one day. So... am I really so different?

Constable Dennison: The dead should not walk the earth.
Mary Dennison: But we do.
Constable Dennison: We were to spend eternity together... in Heaven.
Mary Dennison: There is no Heaven. You have faith, but I've been there. There is life, and there is nothing.

Mary Dennison: Soon you'll be nothing, George. Not alone. Not a spirit. Just mud and bone. But I'll be alive.

Mary Dennison: I'm hungry. It's more than hunger. It burns, George. If you love me, you'll feed me.

Rebecca Morgan: All religions claim that their god to be the one and only. And now these vampires return from the grave and tell us their god is the one true God. So who are we to believe? Whose version of God is real?
James Boone: Whichever god has the strongest army at the moment is the most real.
Rebecca Morgan: So the winner tonight chooses the next God?
James Boone: The winner in all wars decides the truth... God included.

Tane Boone: That thing is out there. Is it the devil?
James Boone: You give him too much credit, son. He was a man; now he's less.

James Boone: I know your kind. Your whole life, you run to God for every hardship because "God provides." You credit God with every victory, even if you've done the work and sweat yourself. You blame every defeat on God's will, especially when the failure is from your own ignorance or weakness. Believe or don't believe, I don't care. But stand up and be a man. Or remain still and I will end it now, so I can defend my family.

Rebecca Morgan: Come say your prayers. Say your prayers.
Tane Boone: Christ in quiet, Christ in danger, Christ in mouth of friend and stranger.
— Christ beneath me, Christ above me, Christ in hearts of all that love me. Christ behind me, Christ before me, Christ to comfort and restore me. Christ in quiet, Christ in danger, Christ in mouth of friend...

Money Laundering and a Cascade of Hormones

Young Sheldon 5×6

Missy: Are you allowed to have a girlfriend?
Sheldon: In the Baptist church, yes. Pastor Jeff is married. And was married before, so he's had two wives, but not at the same time, that's not allowed.
Pastor Rob: Thank you, Sheldon.
Sheldon: At least not anymore. In the Old Testament, Abraham had two, Jacob had four, and Solomon had 1,000, but those were largely for political alliances.
Pastor Rob: Fun fact: only 700 of those were wives. The other 300 were concubines.
Sheldon: I wouldn't count on the Bible for facts, but that was fun.

Pastor Rob: I'm thinking it might be a good idea if we gave the kids a talk about the facts of life.
Pastor Jeff: You mean like, S-E-X?
Peggy: Who are you spelling that for?
Pastor Jeff: G-O-D.

Peggy: Sex, sex, sex. Get over it.

Missy: I didn't ask you 'cause I know what you'll say.
Mary: You don't know what I'm gonna say.
Missy: "It's a sin." "You're too young." "Wait till marriage."
Mary: Well, it is, you are, and you should.

Sheldon: You can't be too young if you're an aphid, some of them are born pregnant.

Sheldon: It's just her hormones. Would you like to learn more?... When children reach adolescence, a cascade of hormones are released...

Pastor Rob: I'll tell Pastor Jeff. I like watching his face get all red when I mention S-E-X... Hey, yours does, too!

Mary: I think First Corinthians 7:2 is actually a pretty good place to start. "Each man should have relations with his own wife, and each woman with her own husband."
Pastor Rob: Yeah, I'm just not sure quoting scripture is the most exciting way to engage.
Mary: I was going more for guilt and fear.
Pastor Rob: Well, those are classics for a reason. I just think that if we make the fruit too forbidden, someone might want to sneak a bite...

Pastor Rob: Actually, this is great. You can tell the kids how you waited till marriage. I think it'll be really powerful for them to hear your story.
Mary: Uh-huh, right, right. Right.
Pastor Rob: Something seems not right.
Mary: Um, it's just, um... I didn't wait all the way until marriage.
Pastor Rob: Hey, none of my business.
Mary: Thank you.
Pastor Rob: But I appreciate the honesty... Well, this just got a little awkward.
Mary: Yup. Yeah.
Pastor Rob: All right, have a good one.
Mary: Okay.

Meemaw: How we doing?
Georgie: There's a problem with the cash box.
Meemaw: Oh, what's that?
Georgie: I can't get it to close.
Meemaw: That is my kind of problem.

Pastor Rob: Mary Cooper, I want to sex you up. Mary: I would like that very much.

Georgie: We're partners!
Meemaw: First of all, we're not partners, and second... Actually, "not partners" covers it all pretty well.
Georgie: Fine. Good luck laundering this money without me.
Meemaw: You know how to do that?
Georgie: I've seen Scarface, like, ten times.
Meemaw: Great. I'll just watch Scarface.

Mary: Do not look at his butt. Do not look! Okay, do not look again.

Connie: What do you want?
Jake: Is that any way to greet an officer of the law?
Connie: Sorry. What do you want?

Connie: What kind of contribution are we talking?
Jake: Well, that's up to you. Oh, I understand that somewhere between nine and 11% is popular.
Connie: Ten percent?!
Jake: If you insist.

Adult Sheldon: Every culture has their taboos. In the Ukraine, it's rude to whistle indoors, and they're correct. Not a fan.

Adult Sheldon: In our society, any discussion of human reproduction seems to be so upsetting, it causes nothing but chaos. .... Even the word "sex" provokes an uncomfortable reaction. I thought "fornicate" might work, but that seemed too judgy. Then I found the perfect word, a word so bland and clinical that it would be impossible to take offense to it... "Coitus."
Sheldon: That'll work.

Downton Abbey 4×6

Anna Bates: Penny for your thoughts?
John Bates: You'd pay twice that not to know them.
Anna Bates: If there was anything I could do...
John Bates: I know. It's not your fault, it's mine. Your husband is a breeder. And brooders brood.
Anna Bates: Then brood about me.

Mrs. Patmore: When you fall off a horse, you need a bit of time to get back in the saddle.

Isobel Crawley: How you hate to be wrong!
Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: I wouldn't know. I am not familiar with the sensation.

Mr. Carson: You're nervous because you're intelligent, Alfred. Only stupid people are foolhardy.

Mrs. Patmore: What are you going to see?
James Kent: The Sheik.
Mrs. Patmore: Ooh, I like that Rudolph Valentino. Oh, he makes me shiver all over.
Mr. Carson: What a very disturbing thought.

John Bates: I'm happy whenever I look at you.

Joseph Molesley: ... I thought I'd look in to confirm my willingness to return to Downton.
Mr. Carson: Mr. Molesley, I am glad you are, as you put it, "willing." But I cannot feel the word expresses the kind of enthusiasm I'm looking for in a new footman.
Joseph Molesley: What?
Mr. Carson: When we last discussed it, you made it quite clear that you didn't wish to plunge down the ladder of preferment.
Joseph Molesley: I was... I was willing to.
Mr. Carson: As you keep saying, but I don't want to humiliate you. You feel you're meant for better things and I won't contradict you. Unfortunately, we have no higher place to offer in this house.
Joseph Molesley: I know, but I said...
Mr. Carson: And you have your pride, and I respect you for it. Good day, Mr. Molesley.

Isobel Crawley: I don't understand.
Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: No, if you wish to understand things, you must come out from behind your prejudice and listen.

Mr. Carson: Why have you come, then?
Joseph Molesley: Mrs. Hughes sent for me. She said that you had a big party tonight and it would be useful to Mrs. Patmore if I served the servants' tea.
Mr. Carson: What?
Mrs. Hughes: Mrs. Patmore has a lot to do. Mr. Molesley said he would help.
Mr. Carson: To serve the servants' tea?!

Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: We can take it in our stride. We may be Yorkshiremen, but we do know a little of life in the city.

Lady Mary Crawley: I'm not unhappy. I'm just not quite ready to be happy.

Mr. Carson: Have you never thought of visiting Africa?
Jack Ross: And why should I go to Africa, Mr. Carson? I'm no more African than you are. Well, not much more. My people came over in the 1793.

Mrs. Hughes: Mr. Ross, you've uncovered something about the past that Mr. Carson doesn't approve of. Well done.
Mr. Carson: Not so fast, Mrs. Hughes. We led the world in the fight against slavery. Remember Lord Henley's judgment of 1763? "If a man sets foot on English soil, then he is free."

Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham: Isobel really appears to be coming out of the mist. I'm so pleased.
Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: Don't be too pleased. Part of her recovery is going back into battle.
Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham: If she's fighting for her causes again, that seems a good sign.
Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: A sign of what? That we should close the shutters and bar the door?
Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham: She likes to fight for what she believes in.
Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: Oh, no, it is not a matter of what she likes. It is her fuel. Some people run on greed, lust, even love. She runs on indignation.

Tom Branson: It is a bit wild. Jazz at Downton Abbey.
Isobel Crawley: I think it's lovely. You see, Tom, things can happen at Downton that no one imagined even a few years ago. Take heart from that before you throw in the towel.

Evelyn Napier: Is this your first experience of jazz, Lady Grantham?
Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: Oh, is that what it is? Do you think any of them know what the others are playing?

Charles Boone: There is no birth in their world, Loa. It's all death in this book. It's the end... of everything.

Stephen Boone: You saw the Worm. The first God. Now you know.
Charles Boone: We have to stop it.
Stephen Boone: We can't. One day it will happen, Charles. The undead will find their book and free the Worm. It may be Jakub. It may be someone a hundred years from now. Or it can be us. You can free a God and curry its favor. Imagine that. You can rule in the coming dark or you can serve those who do.

Charles Boone: If this book... falls into their hands... then God dies.

Charles Boone: Night will be here soon.

Minister Burroughs: I've blessed every room in the house.
Constable Dennison: Well, surely God stands with us.
Minister Burroughs: Which God? There seems to be a choice these days.

Minister Burroughs: I am not sure that our God exists at all. I've buried two children... and the woman that I love. All of them, innocents. I betrayed my wife, I've ruined what little remained of her. Yet I, a blackguard and a liar, I live? Where is God's love in that design?

Honor Boone: My sister, Loa... Will these undead find their way to Heaven?
Minister Burroughs: I...
Honor Boone: She's good. She made a mistake.
Minister Burroughs: I'm sure she is. We all make mistakes. God knows... we're not perfect. He gave us free will, knowing that we would make poor decisions from time to time. And I am sure that when it comes time for your sister to pass over, that God will make a place in Heaven for her.

Hope Haddon: Yes. You're our head girl. And having a strong, smart, young woman of color leading the way shows how progressive we are as a school.
Viv Odusanya: So it's about how it looks.

Hope Haddon: Why would I want to come and listen to a bunch of teenagers whinging on about their insignificant problems for an hour? No, thank you. I've had quite enough of this navel-gazing, identity-obsessed hysteria for one day.

Sherry: Sounds like she doesn't want to be recovered.

Sherry: You know, we lived in a place like this before. And that didn't turn out so hot. And the fact that you're even calling this a sanctuary makes me pretty damn sure that it's anything but.

Sherry: We're gonna have to pass.
Victor: May I ask why?
Dwight: We got a code of honor.
Victor: What exactly does that entail?
Sherry: Keeping people safe from assholes like you.
Victor: Ha ha! It's a new world now. You've seen it. You've been out there. To put it in your parlance, it's assholes like me that are keeping people safe now.

Sherry: D, you and I both know that nothing that's worth having is ever a sure thing.

Dwight: Are you sure we don't know each other?
Mickey: Look, champ, no offense, but I'd remember a face like that, alright?

Dwight: I-I'd rather die fighting with you than live hiding with him.

Mickey: Til Death Do Us Part.

Sherry: We do what we do because we couldn't face each other if we didn't. But there's room. We could have both.

Sherry: You know, look... look at Mickey, you know? We don't... We don't have to wait until everything's perfect. We could just let life happen.

Joseph Molesley: First, I needed to deal with my father's disappointment when he learned of my downward path. But I weighed it against the power to do good that all employment brings.
Mr. Carson: Did you, now? And you thought all that?
Joseph Molesley: I feel I could contain my skills and guide them into a more modest channel without loss of dignity.
Mr. Carson: Just fancy.
Joseph Molesley: So all in all, and after mature deliberation, you will be pleased to hear that I can accept your offer.
Mr. Carson: What offer?

John Bates: Be aware, nothing is over and nothing is done with.

Stuffed Animals and a Sweet Southern Syzygy

Young Sheldon 5×5

Adult Sheldon: In astronomy, a syzygy is a rare event when three or more celestial bodies line up. You may also know it as the stars aligning, which was probably coined by someone who couldn't spell "syzygy." If you want to win Scrabble, remember this bad boy.

George: You don't want to be the rebound guy.
Billy: What's that?
George: That's the guy after the guy she really liked and before the next guy she really likes.

George: I-It's like football. You can go for it on fourth down on your own 20-yard line, but if you don't make it, it's game over.
Billy: You're not just a football coach. You're a coach of life.

Adult Sheldon: You probably think of quantum physics as a white-knuckle rush of adrenaline, like the Peter Pan ride at Disneyland. But the reality can be a little less exciting, especially when you're stuck...

Georgie: You said "girls!"
Meemaw: They were girls... once.
Georgie: Not in this century.

Georgie: That is so cool.
Meemaw: Very cool. I got a room full of slot machines I can't turn on and a room full of washing machines I don't want.

Missy: What did you say to Billy?
George: Uh... What did Billy say to you?

George: You got rejected, but was it the end of the world?
Billy: No.
George: And that is extremely valuable information. A lot of guys don't learn that and stop taking chances.

Adult Sheldon: My father didn't always get the credit he deserved. The advice he gave me actually worked out pretty well. Of course, I never told him. ..... He may not have been the world's greatest dad. But maybe we weren't the world's greatest kids.

Connie: You think that grown-ups are gonna gamble for some stuffed animals?
Dale: Yeah, that you're buying back from them.
Connie: Well, a teddy bear's only worth a couple of bucks.
Dale: It's worth whatever you say it's worth. They win a hundred bucks, then it's worth a hundred bucks.

Men of Honor (2000)

Carl Brashear: I'll come back, help mow the hay.
Mac Brashear: Don't. Don't ever come back here. You get in there and fight, Carl. Don't take promises. Bust their old rules if you have to. And when it gets hard... and it will... don't quit on me. Ever.

Chief Floyd: A big future! Look here. I advise the next time you see this Navy recruiter, tell him to take whatever crystal ball he's lookin' through... and shove it directly up his ass.

Chief Floyd: I just got back from fightin'a war, makin' the whole world free for democracy. They still got me standin' here, slavin' over a hot grill next to you. There's only three choices a colored man's got in the U.S. Navy... Be in a cook. Officer's valet... or gettin' the fuck out of the Navy. Big future.

Carl Brashear: Sir, I am a Navy man. Where I come from, there are no oceans. Only dirt farms and ornery mules. And no self-respecting Navy man makes a living driving mules. Sir.
Billy Sunday: You know what the Chinese say, cookie? Beware what you wish for.

Billy Sunday: Are you familiar with the principle of Boyle's Law?!
Carl Brashear: The what?!
Billy Sunday: I didn't hear your answer. Come on, cookie. Get up. Boyle's Law states that, at a constant temperature, the volume of a confined ideal gas varies inversely with its pressure! Now why is this law important in divin'?
Carl Brashear: I don't know, Chief!
Billy Sunday: You ain't never gonna know, 'cause you're just some dumb dirt nigger from Podunk! I know you. Your sweet smell hung in every bunk and goddamn shack I ever lived in. Your nigger face stared at me every time we had to leave... 'cause your daddy could farm it cheaper than mine. Mine drank himself into a $7 casket, but that ain't gonna happen to me... because I'm a Master Diver! Maybe you'll remember that next time you imply we got anything in common! You read me, cookie?

Carl Brashear: Swim champion had half a chance.
Billy Sunday: He still does.
Carl Brashear: Permission to relieve him.
Billy Sunday: Claims he can hold his breath over four minutes. Hell, it ain't even been two. I believe Gunner's Mate Snowhill's a liar! Now we're men of honor, ain't we, cookie? We don't abide liars.

Jo: Why do you want this so badly?
Carl Brashear: Because they said I couldn't have it.

'Mr. Pappy': Did you know that ordinary house dust... is composed primarily of human skin?
Billy Sunday: No, sir, I didn't know that.
'Mr. Pappy': Makes you think twice about who you invite into your home.

'Mr. Pappy': Two table spoons of machine oil... can contaminate... an entire ship's fresh water supply. Some things just don't mix.

'Mr. Pappy': Billy... there may come a day when a colored diver graduates from this school, but it won't be tomorrow or as long as I'm here. You agree with me, of course. Don't you, Chief?

Carl Brashear: All I ever wanted to do was to make Master Diver.
Billy Sunday: All I ever wanted to do was stay one.

Hanks: Chief Decker, you are the Chief Master at Arms of this hospital, are you not?
Decker: Yes, sir.
Hanks: Then why is it you don't know where Chief Brashear is? He shouldn't be too hard to spot. He is the only Negro diver in the Navy, and he's got one leg.

Hanks: Senior Chief Brashear, one day the life of another diver may depend on you. Do you honestly feel that as a man... You're almost 40. You have one leg. Can you really keep up with healthy divers half your age?
Carl Brashear: The question is, sir, can they keep up with me?

Hanks: Senior Chief Brashear, the business of the modern Navy...
Carl Brashear: Forgive me, sir. But to me, the Navy is not a business. We have many traditions. In my career, I have experienced most of them. Some good, some bad. However, I wouldn't be here today if it weren't for our greatest tradition of all.
Hanks: And which one is that?
Carl Brashear: Honor, sir.

Monica: Do you realize we're getting married in four weeks? Four weeks, baby. Four weeks!
Chandler: You realize you get louder each week?

Chandler: Have you written yours yet?
Monica: No, but I know what I'm gonna say.
Chandler: Do you happen to know what I'm gonna say?

Chandler: Phew. "Monica, there are no words..." .... There are no words! This shouldn't be this hard!

Chandler: Oh! You've done this before. What did you say in your vows?

Chandler: Ooh! Are we allowed to lie in the vows?

Monica: In four weeks they're gonna be married!
Phoebe: Let's just hope it works. Nine out of 10 marriages end in divorce.

Downton Abbey 4×4

Thomas Barrow: What's the matter with everyone this merry morn?
Mr. Carson: I always think there's something rather foreign about high spirits at breakfast.

Isobel Crawley: ... But it's immoral to react in such a jealous and selfish way.
Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: Well, if we only had moral thoughts, what would the poor churchmen find to do?

Anna Bates: Better a broken heart than a broken neck.

Edna Braithwaite: Do you ever wonder why people dislike you so much? It's because you are sly and oily and smug. And I'm really pleased I got the chance to tell you before I go.
Thomas Barrow: Well, if we're playing the truth game, then you're a manipulative little witch, and if your schemes have come to nothing, I'm delighted.

Lady Mary Crawley: Honestly, Papa. Edith's about as mysterious as a bucket. She's gone to see Michael Gregson.
Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: That's the next thing to look forward to.
Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham: I don't dislike him.
Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: Oh, what a recommendation.

Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham: That was nobly done.
Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: Mm-hmm. She is a good woman, and while the phrase is enough to set one's teeth on edge, there are moments when her virtue demands admiration.
Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham: I agree, although I'm rather surprised to hear you say it.
Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: Not as surprised as I am.

Mr. Carson: You're right, Mrs. Hughes... The business of life is the acquisition of memories. In the end, that's all there is.

Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham: There is no such thing as a marriage between two intelligent people that does not sometimes have to negotiate thin ice. I know. You must wait until things become clear. And they will. The damage cannot be irreparable when a man and a woman love each other as much as you do... My goodness. That was strong talk for an Englishman.

Lady Mary Crawley: What happens if I refuse?
Lord Anthony Gillingham: We both know I must marry. I don't need to explain to you how the system we're trapped in works.

The Prophet

Chapelwaite 1×5

James Boone: I'm sending you to God before God dies.

Charles Boone: I know of Jerusalem's Lot. It was my great-grandfather's mining town.
Rebecca Morgan: People tell stories about James Boone and those who used to live there. Mostly to scare the kids.

Dr. Guilford: From the lack of bruising around the punctures, I'd almost say that they were bites of some sort. But not human. ... The position is either very lucky or quite strategic.
Constable Dennison: For what?
Dr. Guilford: Bloodletting. Rebecca Morgan: It appears this Jakub contacted Father in regards to a book: De Vermis Mysteriis.
Ann Morgan: Heh. It's a peculiar name.
Rebecca Morgan: It's Latin. Mysteries of the Worm.

Faith Pringle: Jakub showed me many things. He shared his faith in what he called "the original god."
Minister Burroughs: There is only one God.
Faith Pringle: And before Him? Before Jesus, before Satan, before "let there be light", there was another who ruled in darkness with no judgement. Jakub called him "The Worm".

Faith Pringle: We humans were food. Each scar is where they fed on me. And I allowed it. Drained of blood and floating on the brink of death never crossing, but coming back to heal, is a pleasure that I cannot describe...

Jakub: I am many things. Draugr. Nosferatu. Revenant... Where I come from, it is Vampire.
Charles Boone: The undead.
Jakub: Yes.
Charles Boone: I never believed you were real. No more than a mermaid or a sea serpent.
Jakub: All sorts of things live in the shadows...

Charles Boone: You fear light?
Jakub: We prefer dark.
Charles Boone: And the Christian God?
Jakub: No need for him. We have our own god.

Charles Boone: And if I return it to you...
Jakub: You free yourself and your children. And your children's children et al.
Charles Boone: Tell me what I have to do.

Stephen Boone: There's no greater sorrow for a parent than to lose a child.

Happiest Season (2020)

John: Abby, you and Harper have a perfect relationship. Why do you want to ruin that by engaging in one of the most archaic institution in the history of the human race?
Abby: Because I want to marry her.
John: Okay, you say that, but what you're actually doing is tricking the woman you claim to love by trapping her in a box of heteronormativity and trying to make her your property.

Abby: No, it's not about owning her. It's about building a life with her. She is my person, and I really want everyone to know that.
John: I suppose that's one way of looking at it...

John: I'm sorry, ask her dad for his blessing?! Way to stick it to the patriarchy. Really well done.

Abby: It's five days. How bad can it be?

Tipper: Harper, I would never ask two grown women to share the same bed!

John: Have you managed to get a man's permission to take ownership of an adult human woman yet?

Abby: So, Sloane and Eric, you guys make gift baskets, right?
Sloane: No. We create curated gift experiences inside of handmade reclaimed wood vessels.

Ms. Levin: I'm telling you this because I'm not just looking at you. This is a family affair.
Tipper: Well, I can assure you, this family has nothing to hide.

Tipper: Abby, what are you doing in the closet?

Tipper: Are you the ex-boyfriend?
John: Y-Yes. I am John, Abby's heterosexual ex-boyfriend, and I have come to get her back.
Tipper: Mm. I see. Well, it would've been nice to have known you were coming, but since you are here, enjoy.

Mr. Carson: We'll gather in the drawing room at 8:00. Ten staying and only three maids and two valets between them. Not quite like before the war, is it?

Mrs. Patmore: Oh, not those bowls, Ivy! Chilled soup should be an exquisite mouthful, not a bucket of slop!
Ivy Stuart: I'll get the smaller ones.
Mrs. Patmore: Daisy, how are the squabs doing?

Daisy Robinson: The orange peel and brandy mix is cooling in the larder. I'll whip the cream during the first course.

Daisy Robinson: Mushrooms peeled and cut. Anchovy butter's ready. I'll make the toast when they eat the pudding.
Mrs. Patmore: Oh, my God, the vegetables!...

Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: Don't call her Your Grace.
Tom Branson: I thought it was correct.
Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: For a servant or an official at a ceremony, but in a social situation, call her Duchess.
Tom Branson: But why? I don't call you Countess.
Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: Certainly not.
Tom Branson: There's no logic in it.
Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: Oh, no. If I were to search for logic, I should not look for it among the English upper class.

Mrs. Hughes: You don't think she should dine with the house party?
Mr. Carson: An Australian singer?! Eating with her ladyship? Never mind the Duchess. No, I do not.

Mr. Carson: One thing: Her ladyship has been kind enough to invite the servants to hear Dame Nellie tomorrow evening.
Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham: It's a rare opportunity for them.
Mr. Carson: She's very generous. But I wondered, what are we to do about the kitchen staff?
Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham: Why? Do you fear the corrupting influence of opera?
Mr. Carson: Not at all, m'lord. But before the war they wouldn't usually have been included.
Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham: Oh, I think we must bend that far, Carson. Modern times and all that.
Mr. Carson: As you wish, m'lord.

Isobel Crawley: You see, I have this feeling that when I laugh or read a book or hum a tune, it means that I've forgotten him. Just for a moment. And it's that that I can't bear.
Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: "Better by far that you should forget and smile, than that you should remember and be sad."
Isobel Crawley: But Rosetti was writing about her own death, not her child's.

Mrs. Patmore: Mr. Molesley? I thought it was you. Are you a footman now?
Joseph Molesley: I'm having my career backwards.

Joseph Molesley: Why not? Perhaps Daisy'd like to give me a pointer or two. Or Ivy?
Mr. Carson: And here are some clean gloves that should fit you.
Joseph Molesley: Gloves, Mr. Carson?
Mr. Carson: I'm sorry, Mr. Molesley, you're not the butler here. That is my job. You are a footman, and a footman wears gloves.

Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham: But what do I say to her? What does one say to a singer?

Mr. Carson: I don't know. Screaming in the servants' hall, singers chatting to his lordship, and a footman cooking the dinner. What a topsy-turvy world we've come to...

Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham: I'm so pleased you came.
Isobel Crawley: So am I. I was wrong to hesitate. But then, guilt has the power to make all of us do strange things.

The Card Counter (2021)

William Tell: I liked the routine. I liked the regimen. Same activities, same time, every day. The same toothbrush, the same clothes, same toilet. Same stale sweat, stale smoke, stale bodies, stale cooking, stale farts. Same conversations. The faces change but not much. No choice. I found that I liked reading books. I'd never read a book before... Not all the way through. I found a life for myself that had been beyond my imagination. It was in prison I learned to count cards...

William Tell: What separates blackjack from other games is that it's based on dependent events, meaning past affects the probability in the future.
     The house has a 1.5% advantage. If a player knows the nature of the cards in the shoe, he can turn the house advantage to himself. To do this, he has to keep track of every card that is played.
     Count is based on a high/low system. High cards... Ten, jack, queen, king... Have a value of minus-one. If they are depleted, player's advantage goes down. The low cards... Two, three, four, five, six... Have a value of plus-one. The seven, eight and nine have no count value. The player keeps track of every card and calculates the running count. Then the player arrives at the true count, which is the running count divided by the decks remaining.
     For example, if the running count is plus-nine and there are four and a half decks remaining, nine over four and a half gives you a true count of plus-two.
     As true count increases, the player's advantage increases. The idea is to bet little when you don't have the advantage, more when you do.

William Tell: It's a matter of degree. The house doesn't mind players who count cards. They don't even mind players who count cards and win... What they don't like are players who count cards and win big. It's about how much you win and how you win it. I stick to modest goals.

La Linda: If you don't play for money, why do you play at all?
William Tell: It passes the time.

William Tell: In poker, the player does not play against the house. He plays against other players. The house takes a cut. Two things are necessary: knowledge of the mathematical odds, knowledge of your opponents.
     Poker is all about waiting. Hours pass. Days pass. Hand after hand, each hand like the hand before. Then something happens.
     There's a weight a gambler can accrue by accepting financial backing. It's like any weight a person in debt accrues. It builds and builds, has a life of its own.
     There also is a moral weight a man can accrue. This is the weight created by his past actions. It is a weight... which can never be removed.

William Tell: The smartest bet for a novice is red/black in roulette. Your odds are 47.4%. No more bets. You win, you walk away. You lose, you walk away. It's the only smart casino bet.

Cirk: I'll, uh, give the slots a whirl.
William Tell: All right. Bet small, lose small.

Cirk: How much cards do you play?
William Tell: 40 hands an hour, eight to 12 hours a day, six to seven days a week.
La Linda: Do you do anything else?
William Tell: Like what?
La Linda: Like anything. Go to a park, a concert, a museum... ... No, but seriously, you should do something else. Just for variety.
William Tell: I like playing cards.

William Tell: You know the phrase "tilt"?.. When a player gets caught up in winning, plays outside his zone. Just like in pinball. And there's something similar in interrogations. It's called "force drift." It happens when the interrogator applies more and more force to the prisoner with less results. The interrogator becomes intoxicated by frustration and power. Any man can tilt. I can tilt. Your father can tilt. You can tilt.

William Tell: A great player can see right into your soul. He can wear earplugs, a hoodie, a baseball cap, mirrored glasses, a ski mask, but he'll see right into your soul.

William Tell: This is not a proposal you can afford to reject.

William Tell: We are each responsible for our own actions.
Gordo: I believe that.

Charles Boone: Please, don't let old prejudice impede our shared progress.

Minister Burroughs: We have enough love between us for this child, don't we?

Charles Boone: Much of my life I spent building fortunes for others. Whaling is lucrative for those on top; it exploits those below.
Rebecca Morgan: Especially the whale.
Charles Boone: Mm. Him most of all.

Rebecca Morgan: It takes purpose to break the paradigms that others set for us. As a woman, I know this well.

Rebecca Morgan: Fiction. I find power and freedom in words that I don't always find in life. I haven't traveled the way you and your children have. But in my mind, through invention, I do travel.

Alice Burroughs: "Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them... finds mercy".

Rebecca Morgan: Don't let them beat you. You have good ideas for this town. Even if they think you might be crazy.
Charles Boone: Why do they think that?
Rebecca Morgan: Well, anyone who spends time in Chapelwaite is either a lunatic or runs the risk of becoming one... It's just a rumor, Mr. Boone. I mean, isn't that what ambitions are: a form of madness? Isn't a sliver of lunacy what it takes to dream beyond the realm of the ordinary?

Lina Von Osten: That's him. See that man in the picture?That's our leader. He has just been named Chancellor of Germany. Do you know what that means? It means that he will be able to save our country. That's why mommy and daddy are so happy today.

Reinhard Heydrich: Mein Führer, I stand by the principle that only the best of our people- the racially most carefully selected, of excellent character and pure spirit are capable of providing a service to combat all that is negative and returning our nation to greatness. I am German, mein Führer. And I love my country.

Reinhard Heydrich: We stand at a unique moment in history. Prague, alongside Berlin and Vienna, has been chosen to become the first city free of Jewry in the new Reich. ... All Jews will be required to immediately report to the nearest police station and required to wear a distinctive symbol testifying to their race. All Czech resistance organizations will be destroyed and dismantled without mercy. At the same time, we will increase the salaries of all Czechs working in the armaments factories. The Czech people must know that so long as they are our friends, we will be theirs!

Reinhard Heydrich: In addition to the wider issues of methodology and timescale of the cleansing, there are important clerical and legal decisions to be made at this meeting. I have itemized them as follows. Please hand them around. Jews with military decoration. Half-Jews. Quarter-Jews. Jews in mixed marriages. We shall review them all one by one.
     Will you please turn to page five, gentlemen? This will give you some idea of the task at hand... The figures from our most recent census, dated the 1st of January 1942. Germany: 700,000, Poland: 2 million. Latvia: 300,000, Lithuania: 150,000. Estonia: already cleansed. Satellite countries - Slovakia: 88,000, Croatia: 40,000. Allies - Italy, including Sardinia: 58,000. Neutral countries - 18,000. Sweden: 8,000. Turkey: 55,000. And so on down the page.
     The Einsatzgruppen are already working at maximum efficiency. The elimination of between eleven and twelve million individuals requires a more systematic approach, requires more advanced technology. There is much work to be done....

Reinhard Heydrich: Your Three Kings are dead! The resistance is finished. Go home, tell your families, tell your friends, it's over.

Reinhard Heydrich: My father wrote an opera... There is a line that I remember... 'The world is a barrel organ. God turns the wheel. And we all dance to his music.' Make them dance.

Morgan: Somebody there?
Sarah: Wendell?
Morgan: Sarah? Is that you?
Sarah: Who is this?
Morgan: Morgan.
Sarah: Momo?
Morgan: That's what we're calling the baby.
Josiah: I warn you, if he's dead, we might not find him. The dead can cover a mile and half an hour, up to 36 miles in a day.

Sarah: Safe to say Vic still enjoys the smell of his own farts.

Morgan: We're gonna get everybody back, Sarah. And then we're gonna get ready for whatever happens next, right?

Potential Energy and Hooch on a Park Bench

Young Sheldon 5×3

Adult Sheldon: In physics, potential energy is a fascinating topic. Objects like springs store energy when they're coiled, waiting to unleash their full potential and soar to the heavens. ... While the potential energy of an object can be measured in absolutes, human potential remains more elusive. Sometimes, people seem to have all the potential in the world, but for some reason stay stuck to the ground.

Sheldon: But why are you wasting your time here when you could be doing science?
Dr. Sturgis: I told you, I'm happy here.
Sheldon: How could you be happy? You have a doctorate in physics, and you're sticking labels to a case of beans.
Dr. Sturgis: I had to work here a month before they let me use this thing. And yet, I could go buy a real gun on my lunch break. Ha! Texas, huh?

Dale: Well, we don't carry hockey skates. Uh, heck, I know of a place up north where you can find them. It's called Canada.

Dale: You're early.
Georgie: I was sitting in algebra and realized, don't know what "X" is, don't care what "X" is.
Dale: Boy, I hear "ex" and I think of a woman who took half my stuff.

Dr. Linkletter: But exciting new things are happening in string theory. Don't you want to be a part of that?
Dr. Sturgis: Wasting years scrambling away at the academic hamster wheel? Constantly worried that your life's work is just one big dead end?
Dr. Linkletter: Sure, some paths of research may not pan out, but we still have to try, right?
Dr. Sturgis: Do we?
Dr. Linkletter: Of course.
Dr. Sturgis: I don't know...

Dr. Linkletter: Sometimes I look in the mirror and I think, "Who is that?"
Dr. Sturgis: Would you like to give these cucumbers a spritz?
Dr. Linkletter: No, thank you. Do you sell liquor here?

Principal Peterson: You sure you didn't get a girl in trouble?... You will at some point, just take it.

Missy: Oh, no, are we going to church?
Mary: No, your father and I have a date night.
Missy: Why? Don't you have enough kids?

George: Let's talk about anything else.
Sheldon: Ooh. Perhaps this is a good time for a physics joke.
Missy: It isn't.
Sheldon: That's the cool thing about physics, time is relative. Okay, here we go...

Dr. Linkletter: So what does it all mean, John?
Dr. Sturgis: Maybe you should ask someone who isn't drinking on a park bench.
Dr. Linkletter: You work your whole life. It all seems so important at the time, but is it?
Dr. Sturgis: That's a good question. It puts me in mind of, uh, Camus' The Myth of Siphisus... Siphaphis...
Dr. Linkletter: Sisyphus.
Dr. Sturgis: That's the guy!

Mary: Oh, no. Sweetie, no, we're not fighting. We're just agreeing with each other angrily.

Ли Чайлд — Убедительный довод

<< Точный расчет (Джек Ричер — 6)

Джек Ричер — 7

  “Полицейский выбрался из  своей машины ровно за четыре минуты до того, как был убит. ...

&  Сюзен Даффи смотрела на меня не отрываясь. Но не так, как если бы я был придурком. Так, словно я ее чем-то заинтересовал. Возможно, она пришла к выводу, что это очень полезный метод ведения допросов. В прошлом, когда я сам вел допросы, я делал то же самое. Девяносто процентов умения задавать вопросы состоит в том, чтобы слушать ответы.

&  Положив правую руку на грудь, я принялся растирать левое плечо. Затем удивленно остановился. Военный психиатр как-то сказал мне, что этот непроизвольный жест свидетельствует об ощущении уязвимости. Он является защитным. Связан с попыткой спрятаться, укрыться. Это первый шаг к тому, чтобы свернуться клубком на полу.

&  — Но я не знаю, кто ты такой.
     — Привыкайте к этому. Как вообще можно узнать, кто есть кто?

&  Человек, спрятавший в карман одну руку, производит впечатление вооруженного и опасного. Человек, убравший в карман обе руки, кажется расслабленным и ленивым. От него не исходит никакой угрозы.

&  — Люди такие болваны. … Они видят то, что хотят увидеть. … И это происходит постоянно.

&  Лучший способ подтолкнуть зависшее продвижение по службе состоит в том, чтобы убедить начальство, будто ты чуть тупее его. В армии я проделывал нечто подобное три раза подряд.

&  Я ... вспоминал то, что я читал о британской армии в Индии, во времена наивысшего расцвета колониального господства. Молодые офицеры, застрявшие в младших чинах, веселились отдельно от старших офицеров. Они ужинали вместе, одетые в парадные мундиры, и обсуждали свои шансы на продвижение по службе. Однако шансы у них могли появиться только в случае смерти кого-то из старших офицеров. Лишь тогда еще не остывшее после покойника место занимал кто-то новый. Поэтому молодежьподнимала хрустальные бокалы с чудесным французским вином и провозглашала тост: «За кровавые войны и смертельные болезни!», потому что единственная надежда на продвижение по службе состояла в высоком проценте убыли старшего командного состава. Очень жестоко, но в армии всегда так.

&  Те, кто не задумываясь отвечает «нет», как правило, лгут. Человек искренний тоже может ответить «нет», но обычно он сначала задумывается. А потом добавляет что-нибудь вроде «извините». Возможно, в свою очередь задает какие-то вопросы. Такова человеческая природа. Люди говорят: «Извините, нет, а в чем дело? Что произошло?»

&  Гарбер выступал за постоянную коррекцию планов. Поддерживал такой подход обеими руками. В основном потому, что корректировать планы значило думать, а он считал, что от мыслительных процессов еще никому плохо не становилось.

&  — Не понимаю, как такое возможно.
     — Они люди. Нельзя требовать от них невозможного. К тому же, у них на пути стоят предубеждения. Никто не спрашивает, насколько Куинн плохой; всех интересует только, насколько он хороший.

&  Любая структура, имеющая табель о рангах, подталкивает человека к стремлению расти вверх.

&  Итак, расклад был плохой. Отвратительный. «Постарайтесь остаться в живых, — говорил Леон Гарбер. — Постарайтесь остаться в живых и посмотреть, что принесет следующая минута».

&  Первое правило уличной драки гласит, что если противник упал, его надо добить, без колебаний, без промедления, без угрызений совести по поводу неджентельменского поведения. Противника надо добить.

  ... И-95 ведет до самого Майами.”
