Four Fathers

This Is Us 6×3


Jack Damon: I can feel your concern. Blind guy, hot smoker.

Jack: How did I become that dad? Like, the guy who leaves before breakfast and gets home after dinner.
Rebecca: My dad worked a lot. I still love him.
Jack: Yeah, comparing me to your father doesn't help. How would you like it if I compared you to my mom?
Rebecca: Oh, okay. Point taken.

Toby: A dad's work is never done.

Kevin: Here you go, matcha with monk fruit and nut milk, just like you like your nonsense.

Toby: Can we be brothers-in-law who kiss?

Katie: Daddy? Are you gonna live at work forever?

Randall: She took a six-hour bus ride four states away, and we had no idea. What if something happened?
Beth: Let's kill her. Let's dig a hole in the backyard and bury her in it.

Beth: Okay, hold up. I feel like we need to pick which one of us is gonna unravel here and which one of us is gonna stay cool.
Randall: I'm already pacing, Beth. I'm up.
Beth: Okay, fine, I'll stay cool.

Randall: Can we put her back on Zoom school?
Beth: I feel like that's kind of punishing ourselves, so I want to hold off...

Ashley: I was thinking that, maybe after this, we could go check out White Sea at The Echo. Do you know her? She used to be the keyboardist for M83.
Kevin: I... no... I don't think I do know her. I'm not sure anything that you just said was English, actually.

Philip: I'd have to say, that was one of the most successful recitals ever. But in-in fairness, parents rarely boo their blind children.

Kate: ...he had to stay home with the kids.
Philip: Ugh. Kids are the worst. That's why I try to never be around them ever.

Philip: ... And then, one day, I just, um, I stopped giving the report, because it became pretty obvious that we had problems that were much bigger than bath towels... It-it wasn't really an anecdote I wanted to share anymore. So, as annoying as it is that you told me about your stupid fight with your husband, just, uh, take it as a good sign that you're still talking about it.

Rebecca: It was a mess. We got to the car and everybody was crying, myself included. And just when I thought it was the worst day ever, um, a ladybug landed on the dashboard. And Kevin tells us it's good luck. And Randall says that ladybugs have two sets of wings. And Kate decided to name it... Linda.

Rebecca: Until a day is over, there's always a chance you'll remember it for something else.

Beth: We thought our daughter was a child, playing Candy Land, but she's out here playing The Game of Life, and we have to adjust.

Toby: I sat through plenty of dinners with my parents, who clearly couldn't stand each other. I think kids would much rather have parents that are happy than parents who are together.

Toby: You know, it's funny, when... when we're kids, we always, we build houses that are, uh, square, because we think... that that is the strongest shape that there is. But, turns out... a triangle is the strongest shape in nature. Strong base. It's capable of holding infinitely more weight... It is the most stable shape that there is... See? So maybe you should just stop thinking of your family as a square and start thinking of it as, you know, you, Nick, Franny. A triangle...
Kevin: The hell are you talking about right now, man?

Randall: ... I guess now I'm just trying to stall for time. To hold on to that very particular version of my Deja. So... if you would be so kind, please be patient with me as I wrap my head around this new, beautiful, grown-up you.

Kate: We already have a grill.
Toby: Au contraire, mon frère. This is no mere grill. This is a smoker. This is the Big Green Egg. This smoker will outlast time, global warming, and all the other awful things coming our way.

Toby: ...let's make some memories of us being together. Let's have big old cookouts and let's eat food that took me, like, 900 hours to cook. Let's be smokers.
Kate: Okay. Let's be smokers!

Rebecca: Never too late to turn a day around.

Jack: You know, I should always listen to you.
Rebecca: That's what I've been telling you.

The One Where Joey Tells Rachel

Friends 8×16


Ross: Rachel-who's-carrying-my-baby Rachel?!?!

Chandler: He's meant for her, and you're gonna date him?
Phoebe: He may not be my soul mate, but a girl's gotta eat.

Joey: Hey, wait, Ross? You wanna come in for a beer or something?
Ross: Yeah, sure.
Joey: ... You got any beer?

Joey: I came by because I want to talk to you about something.
Rachel: What's up?
Joey: Here, in the hall? What are we, animals?

Rachel: Who are you talking to?... Oh, you're kidding. It's a joke... Funny. It's funny!... I don't get it... Oh... Okay... Wow... Are you, um? How did, um? When?

The Last Duel (2021)

Jean de Carrouges: I'm a very jealous man, milady. Tonight, you are mine and will dance with no other.
Marguerite Carrouges: And every night hereafter.

Jean de Carrouges: It was right.
Nicole de Carrouges: Right. There's no right. There is only the power of men.

Marguerite de Carrouges: Jean. I want him to answer for what he has done.
Jean de Carrouges: And he will. He will.

Sir Jean de Carrouges: I stand ready to prove my charge by my body against his and to render him dead at an appointed time.

Pierre d'Alençon: Too much wine. My Latin fails me.
Jacques le Gris: "We forgive a child afraid of the dark. Tragedy is men afraid of the light."

Jacques Le Gris: We knew it was wrong, I confessed my adultery, and performed my penance. But I swear to you, this charge of rape is false.

Le Coq: Formally, this is not about her. Rape is not a crime against a woman. It is a property crime against her male guardian.

Marguerite Carrouges: Jean, I intend to speak the truth. I will not be silent. I have no legal standing without your support.
Sir Jean de Carrouges: Then you shall have it.

Sir Jean de Carrouges: I will not appeal to the king. I will appeal to God.

Le Coq: Do you enjoy having intercourse with your husband?
Marguerite de Carrouges: Yes, of course.
Le Coq: It is not a matter of course. You are fully aware that you cannot conceive a child unless you experience pleasure at the end.
Marguerite de Carrouges: ... Yes. Yes.
Le Coq: And do you experience pleasure at the end?
Marguerite de Carrouges: ..... Yes. I do.
Physician: A rape cannot cause a pregnancy. This is just science.

Le Coq: If your husband were to lose the duel, it would demonstrate God's judgment and reveal you for having borne false witness.
Marguerite de Carrouges: I understand.
Le Coq: I'm certain your husband told you, the penalty for bearing false witness against a man by a woman, in the case of rape, is that you are to be stripped and shorn, fitted by the neck with an iron collar, lashed to a wooden post, and summarily burned alive. Lady Marguerite... It is quite common for the accused to burn for 20 to 30 minutes before they are dead.

Marguerite de Carrouges: Had I had known the truth would deprive me of this love, I believe I would have done what many women before me had done. Nothing.

Marguerite de Carrouges: I am not like you, Jean. A child needs his mother more than a mother needs to be right.

Jacques Le Gris: There was no rape. There was no rape! In the name of God and on the peril of damnation of my soul, I am innocent of the crime!

Quiz #1.1

Paul Smith: It's not a game show, it's a quiz. That's the joy of it. People love a good pub quiz. A uniquely British invention combining our two greatest loves, drinking and being right.

David Liddiment: Well, where's the tension?
Paul Smith: Because we're watching people potentially making life-changing decisions. And we'll just sit there and watch them go through it all, the whole gamut of emotions, waiting. And then there's also the matter of the largest game show prize in the history of television.
David Liddiment: Right, yeah, so you're gonna bankrupt us all.
Paul Smith: Oh, there's nothing to worry about. It would take a very unique sort of person to risk going all the way. That fear is built into the show.

Claudia: Paul! Reception just said the Americans are here.
Jesus Christ, it's ABC, which is Disney. It's owned by Disney. Basically, Mickey Mouse is coming up the stairs.

Paul Smith: ...is it me, or have they all started to look a bit... the same? All a bit white and well-to-do, middle classy and Southerny and...
Chris Tarrant: Adrian Pollock from Wiltshire.
Paul Smith: ...white.

Charles Ingram: It's 32 grand, it's great!
Adrian Pollock: Thing is... The thing is... it doesn't quite cover the, uh... debts that the business is running at the moment and I, uh...
Diana Ingram: Debts? You... You don't normally have debts, why didn't you say?

Diana Ingram: You must go on. Onto the show. I've been on, Adrian has, it's... it's your turn.
Charles Ingram: It's my turn, is it?
Diana Ingram: To join the family business.

Charles Ingram: These mad schemes! I don't even like quizzes.

Chris Tarrant: Right, Major Charles Ingram, are you ready to play...

Babylon's Ashes

The Expanse 6×6


Cara: It's okay. If I die, the dogs will fix me.

Chrisjen: Massing battleships is a numbers game since the Age of Sail. These numbers are too evenly matched for my comfort.

Chrisjen: Is this the best you could come up with?
Holden: .... We'll get it done.
Chrisjen: You're such a fucking optimist. It's a miracle you have lived this long.

Amos: Look, it's gonna be a shitstorm down there, and if I'm gonna get myself offed for the cause, fine. Better reason than most. I just prefer to be looking the guy who's gonna punch my ticket straight in the fucking eye.
Clarissa: You know, for someone who says they don't wanna be a hero... You sure end up being one a lot.

Chrisjen: What we did was too little and too late, the sad story of our species.

Liang Walker: Oye, bosmang. Think we think the same. Just beat you to it. Tenye wa chesh gut.

Holden: How you feeling, brother?
Amos: Like I'm trapped in a portable toilet.
Bobbie: Try not to dwell on that. You'll pee in your suit.
Amos: No one dies with a full bladder.

Clarissa: Good luck.
Bobbie: You never say that before a fight. You say--
— Good hunting.

Bobbie: Naomi's last sim said that the railguns should only get about 20% of us.
Amos: Those odds aren't terrible. A little worse than Russian Roulette.
Bobbie: What's that, a casino game?
Amos: Kinda.

Bobbie: Everybody ready to get a little shorter? This one's gonna be 15 Gs.

Admiral Duarte: You were a useful distraction, but I have gods to kill. The Ring to Laconia is now closed. You're on your own. Oyedeng, Beltalowda.

Marco Inaros: Beltalowda. We have reached the end. The end of the Inners' hold upon us. Lift your heads, your eyes, your hearts, your spirits and know this. We have been bloodied, but they have been broken.

Amos: As long as we try to kill Marco, I'm in.

Chrisjen: War doesn't end on the battlefield. It ends at the negotiating table, or it doesn't end at all.

Camina: The Belt will treat you with respect. You have my word. We will take our niche in the future and allow you yours. You have my word. Is that good enough? Will you take that?... Why is your word enough for me and mine not enough for you?

Holden: Inaros wasn't all wrong... He was evil, and he was cruel, but he tapped into something real.

Holden: You wanna show someone you trust them, you put your life in their hands. You can't just pretend to. If you can't do that, you don't really trust them.

Chrisjen: What if this transport union were an independent agency based in Medina Station, headed by someone with no allegiances, a friend of the Belt.
Camina: An Inner?
Chrisjen: It would have to be a unanimous choice of Earth, Mars, and the Belt, of course. A person above reproach, apolitical, with a history of working honorably with all sides.
Holden: ... Wait a minute.

Chrisjen: James. It's time for you to make history. Again.

Chrisjen: More coffee.

Chrisjen: You duplicitous little shit.

Chrisjen: Oh, James. I hope you're right...

Holden: I hope I did the right thing.
Naomi: You did. You followed your conscience in the hope that others would follow theirs. You didn't do it for a reward or a pat on the head. The universe never tells us if we did right or wrong. It's more important to try to help people than to know that you did.

Naomi: More important that someone else's life gets better than for you to feel good about yourself. You never know the effect you might have on someone, not really. ... It doesn't matter if you ever know. You just have to try.

Holden: ... And we still don't know what happened to that protomolecule sample. Sooner or later, we're gonna have to...
Naomi: Let's just stay here for a minute.

Snaps

Maid 1×10


Alex: Here's the hard question. Who were you writing to when you wrote?...

Alex: Writing is where I go to be honest about how I feel. Sometimes it's really the only way for me to know what it is that I'm feeling. Like I have to write in order to see what I'm gonna write. If that makes any sense. But... I find that it's a lot easier to write the truth than it is to say it out loud. Nobody can take writing away from you. Nobody can tell you that you're wrong, or your words are wrong. Because they're not. You're right, and your words are fucking right. Because they're yours.

Alex: Can you be ready by Monday?
Paula: I'm ready. I'm packed, baby. That's the nice thing about living in your car, you're packed.

Paula: Just... be happy for me.

Alex: Most people would bet against a single mom putting herself through college. But they don't know what it took to get here. Three hundred and thirty-eight toilets cleaned... seven types of government assistance... nine separate moves... one night on the ferry-station floor... and the entire third year of my daughter's life.

Hampstead (2017)

Donald Horner: If people want to stay attached to their radioactive walkie-talkies, it's their business. Do I like what they're doing? No. Do I like them? Probably not. Do I respect their right to do as their little, shallow hearts desire? I most certainly do. So, no, I don't care. And if I were a betting man, I'd wager now that you don't really have a dog in this hunt either.

Emily Walters: Can I ask you something?
Donald Horner: Can I stop you?

Emily Walters: I don't understand. What's with you and this hanging out in cemeteries?
Donald Horner: Quietest place in the city.
Emily Walters: Mm. Quiet up above, but who knows what's going on down below?
Donald Horner: Yeah. Party, I bet. A massive party.

Donald Horner: Listen to me. I'm indebted to no-one. I am my own man. I grow my own food. I generate my own electricity. Whatever I am, I am not a leech. Do you understand?

A Pink Cadillac and a Glorious Tribal Dance

Young Sheldon 5×12


Adult Sheldon: ... And possibly the ultimate status symbol... The pink Cadillac, driven by an elite Mary Kay super seller.

Dr. Linkletter: You're in college. You should be taking spring break as well.
Sheldon: And do what?
Dr. Linkletter: Traditionally, you would congregate with your peers and make bad decisions.

Sheldon: Are they screaming for help?
Missy: No. They're having fun.
Sheldon: Are we watching the same show?
Missy: They were stuck in school all year. Now they're going wild.
Sheldon: Clearly. I don't see a single lifeguard.

George: Driving a pink car in Texas. Bold choice.

George: Sales is a tough racket, Mare.
Georgie: Yeah. It ain't as easy as I make it look.
Mary: Well, I think I'd be good at it.
Georgie: You sure? Sometimes you got to do a little fibbin'.
Mary: I would do it without that.
Georgie: And you got to have people skills.
Mary: I have people skills.
Georgie: Do you?
Mary: I'd like to throw my dinner roll at your head right now, but you don't see me doing it.

Adult Sheldon: My sister suggested I "go wild," so I decided to heed her advice and do the craziest thing I could think of... Take a walk outside.

Mary: Oh, I... I am serious. It's just that my husband isn't totally on board, and he'll be upset if I spend a bunch of money.
Mr. Lundy: Oh, well, that's fair. If you have to ask his permission, I can come back... It's refreshing really. It reminds me of a simpler time when men made the decisions and women made the beds.

Mr. Lundy: I am the organ grinder, and the world is my monkey.

Mr. Lundy: Here. Try this.
Mary: That's awfully red.
Mr. Lundy: Exactly. And when you see red, what comes to your mind?
Mary: Satan.
Mr. Lundy: Glamour. Sex appeal, a little va-va-voom!

Mr. Lundy: You are not just selling makeup. You are selling power, you are selling confidence, and that starts right here. Now are you a powerful, confident woman?
Mary: Y-y-yes.v
Sheldon: Mom, I know what I want to do for spring break-- What happened to your face?
Mary: This is for my new job.
Sheldon: Is your new job fighting Batman? Because you look like The Joker.

Mr. Lundy: Read my moisturized lips. Noooo.

Sheldon: Would you like to go with me to a comic book convention?
Georgie: Will there be girls there?

Mr. Lundy: You never forget your first sale.
Mary: I know. I am still tingling.
Mr. Lundy: I love that feeling. I don't even drink coffee anymore. I just go on tingle power.

Mr. Lundy: Mary, if God didn't want people to wear makeup, he'd have made 'em less ugly.

Mary: Let us open our Bibles to, uh, chapter two, verse 12. "Before a young woman's turn came to go into King Xerxes, she had to complete 12 months of beauty treatments prescribed for the women: six months with oil of myrrh and six with perfumes and cosmetics." Did anyone else realize that cosmetics were right here in the Bible? I just find that fascinating.

Mary: Did you know that Esther used her beauty to stop a genocide?... Sometimes, I think we forget how powerful beauty can be. But I know I sure feel powerful when I'm wearing this new line of Mary Kay cosmetics. Take a gander, ladies...

Mary: Esther would be so proud. This is a face that would stop the spilling of blood.

First goes the short-term memory, and then the longer ones, one by one. Or is it a thousand each day? I don't even know. Sometimes I think about what my very last memory will be before the candle goes out.

Rebecca: You would think that this diagnosis would help me sweat the small stuff less, but not really. I just, this morning, rolling out the garbage cans before we left was something that kept nagging at me. ... You'd think that we would stop sweating the small stuff as we got older, when bigger things started happening to us, but nope. Not the case. It's so strange, isn't it?

Don't Look Up (2021)

Dr. Randall Mindy: Question is, what… What would Carl Sagan do?

Dr. Randall Mindy: Now that we have the comet's orbit, we will check the ephemeris and that will give us the distance between the comet and planet Earth...
Kate Dibiasky: Why does the ephemeris keep getting lower and lower?

Kate Dibiasky: Um… I've been running it all day. I keep getting the same result. A direct hit of Earth in six months and 14 days.

Kate Dibiasky: The snacks are free.
Dr. Randall Mindy: What?
Kate Dibiasky: The general. He charged us for the snacks, but they're free.

Kate Dibiasky: Can I sit down with your mom to have lunch in, like, seven months?
Jack Bremmer: Seven… That's weirdly specific and distant.

President Orlean: So how certain is this?
Dr. Randall Mindy: There's 100% certainty of impact.
President Orlean: Please, don't say 100%.
Can we just call it a potentially significant event?
Kate Dibiasky: But it isn't potentially going to happen. It is going to happen.
Dr. Randall Mindy: Exactly. 99.78% to be exact.
Jason Orlean: Oh, great. Okay, so it's not 100%.
Dr. Teddy Oglethorpe:Well, scientists never like to say 100%.
President Orlean: Call it 70% and let's just move on.
Kate Dibiasky: But it's not even close to 70%.
President Orlean: You cannot go around saying to people that there's 100% chance that they're gonna die. You know? It's just nuts.

President Orlean: Do you know how many, uh, "the world is ending" meetings that we've had over the years? Economic collapse, loose nukes, car exhaust killing the atmosphere.
Jason Orlean: Rogue AI. Drought, famine, plague… Uh…
President Orlean: Everything.
Jason Orlean: Alien invasion, population growth, hole in the ozone--
President Orlean: Jason, hey. Read the room for once in your life.
Jason Orlean: Sorry, Mom.
President Orlean: Point is, I have a job to do.

Adul Grelio: Ladies, gentlemen, I wish you a very pleasant end of times.

Kate Dibiasky: Unless you assholes are taking me to the Batcave, fuck you for putting this hood on me.

Dr. Randall Mindy: You want me to quit the mission? I'll quit the mission. That's fine. But you have to understand, this is now beyond our control. They have all the power. So who do you want in the actual room to make sure this whole thing doesn't turn out to be a complete goddamn disaster?

Jack Bremmer: People, they wanna manage the comet to create jobs. Thirty-seven percent don't want the comet to hit. That's actually down by three points. And 23%, they don't think there's a comet at all, and that number is way up.

Dr. Randall Mindy: I just wanna make sure that you're… That you're open to the scientific peer-review process and you're not approaching this mission like a businessman. You know? That--
Peter Isherwell: What did you say?
Dr. Randall Mindy: I wanna know if you're--
Peter Isherwell: Did you call me a businessman?
Dr. Randall Mindy: You do own a corporate--
Peter Isherwell: You think I'm just a businessman? Do you think you know me, Doctor? Business? This is evolution. This is evolution of the human species.

Peter Isherwell: You know that BASH has over 40 million data points on you, on every decision you have made since 1994, Doctor? I… I know when you have colon polyps months before your doctor does. You got four or five at the moment actually. You know, they're not of concern, but I'd have a checkup as soon as you can. But much more importantly than that, I know what you are. I know who you are.

Peter Isherwell: My algorithms have determined eight fundamental consumer profile types. You are a lifestyle idealist. You think you're motivated by beliefs, high ethical beliefs. But you just run towards pleasure and away from pain. Like a… Like a field mouse.

Dr. Randall Mindy: I just wanna make sure that the science is sound on this project. I hope you understand--
Peter Isherwell: Our algorithms can even predict how you'll die. To 96… 96.5% accuracy. I looked you up after we met. Your death was so unremarkable and boring. I can't remember the details, apart from one thing... You're gonna die alone. Alone. If you'll excuse me, Madam President. I've got some work to do.

Kate Dibiasky: You guys, the truth is way more depressing. They're not even smart enough to be as evil as you're giving them credit for.

Brie Evantee: So, Randall, we're hearing that there is no comet, or that there is a comet but it's a good thing or maybe it's a bad thing. We are so confused... So, could you please help us out here, you know, oh, wise scientist?

Dr. Randall Mindy: Um… There has been growing concern within the scientific community as of late. You see, the peer-review process is absolutely essential…
Jack: If BASH's stock…
Dr. Randall Mindy: …for us to get to the facts of… Yes?
Jack: If BASH's stock is any indicator, we don't have to worry about the peer review. Dr. Randall Mindy: It is going gangbusters. And full disclosure. I bought as many shares as I could. I advise you to do the same.

Dr. Randall Mindy: Would you please just stop being so [bleep] pleasant? I'm sorry, but not everything needs to sound so goddamn clever or charming or likeable all the time! Sometimes we need to just be able to say things to one another. We need to hear things.

Dr. Randall Mindy: The Mills Brothers. Great band. You know, Duke Ellington found this band. I think they were originally called the Four Kings of Harmony... "Till Then," this is the song. It's about, uh… It's about soldiers going off to World War II and thinking about home. Listen to this part...

+ Quotes on the IMDb
+ Soundtracks

Σ   «... "Не смотрите наверх" не совсем прямо такая агитка, каким была "Власть", но сатира в отношении политического пула США в этом фильме лезет из всех щелей. Отчасти поэтому половина стеба пройдет мимо тех, кто не следил за последней избирательной кампанией Трамп-Байден. ...
       ...такое произведение не всем зайдет...
»


Σ   «... Очень милая злобная политическая сатира, по-моему, ничего лишнего.
       Некоторые сочли ее левой агиткой, потому что летящая к Земле комета напомнила им климатическую страшилку. ...
       ... Вся, так сказать, религиозная линия. ... Это, собственно, и есть основная идея фильма, вполне глубокая.
»


Σ   «...куча известных голливудских актеров высмеивает актуальную американскую действительность.
       ...через 2.5 часа экранного времени идет различная гротескная сатира на современное общество потребления (как правило неизобретательно и в лоб, тонкий юмор тут редкий гость), идиотизм политиков, ЛОМов, медийщиков, олигархов и т.п. В этом действительно есть определенная критика неолиберального капиталистического общества. Но если смотреть чуть внимательней, то это лишь первый уровень фильма. Его упаковка. Стоит задаться вопросом, а зачем и почему он снят, так сразу отношение к фильму может слегка поменяться.
       Де-факто, это сатира не про капитализм вообще, это по факту своеобразная политическая агитка, замаскированная под сатиру. ...
       ... Сам режиссер является сторонником Демократической партии США и Берни Сандерса, которого он поддерживал на выборах 2016-го и 2020-го годов. ...
»


Σ   «... Многие обвиняют фильм в трэшевости, но без трэша получился бы реально документальный фильм. ...»

Σ   «... я не смог его посмотреть, слишком ужасно. Гротескные (на первый взгляд) преувеличения приближают этот фильм к реальности, а не отдаляют от нее. Я попрыгал по отрывкам в минуту-две тут и там, чтобы понять общее движение сюжета и концовку, но не мог остановиться и смотреть подряд вообще ни в одном месте. Ощущаю, как подкатывают неконтролируемые ужас и страх, и хочется только выключить.»

Σ   «... В Википедии написано, будто это «сатирическая аллегория безразличия человечества к проблемам окружающей среды», но это чья-то дурная фантазия: проблемы окружающей среды в фильме тоже активно высмеиваются наравне с мемасиками и всей прочей чушью человечества.
       На самом деле этот фильм — как если бы «Чёрное зеркало» пересняло «Идиократию». Очень смешно, но очень грустно и честно.
»


Σ   «...... And so some poor shmucks thought “What if we made a movie to show people why they should trust science?” And of course it ended out contradictory. ...
       ... I believe a metaphorical comet is headed towards Earth right now, and a literal tech company CEO is telling you not to worry, and he is wrong. Half of you will agree with me, half of you will say I’m wrong, and all the narratives and heuristics in the world won’t get us one step closer to consensus, let alone truth...
»


Σ   Highlights From The Comments On "Don't Look Up"

Σ   «... В фильме нет главных героев, только конченные долбоебы. И много современной американской сатиры.
       Морали тоже никакой нет. Просто чистый стеб и разъеб.
       Приятно знать, что еще не все американцы сошли с ума, а остались те, кто в состоянии хоть и эзоповым языком, но немного постебать реальность.

Christmas Special

Downton Abbey 6×9


Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: ... you must beard him in his den.
Isobel Crawley: Won't that encourage him?
Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: Your feelings do you credit, my dear, but never let tenderness be a bar to a bit of snooping.

Mr. Carson: I've no complaints but I still find it odd that a woman in her condition is working as a lady's maid. It's not what I'm used to.
Mrs. Hughes: I should hope not. Before the war, they were almost never married. At least, if they were they retired.
Mr. Carson: And this is the future?
Mrs. Hughes: If you're really asking, I think the future is no ladies' maids at all, but we haven't quite got there.
Mr. Carson: Ooh!

Denker: Do you value honesty, Mr Spratt?
Spratt: Of course I do. What a question.
Denker: But you don't want to tell me why Lady Edith was here?
Spratt: I value honesty and discretion, they are both virtues.

Lady Mary Crawley: Granny.
Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: There, I was beginning to forget what you looked like.
Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham: I'm glad you're back on your feet.
Denker: Shall I make some tea, m'lady?
Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: Will you be here long enough to drink it?

Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: Oh, sad. Of course, I see his point. But I bet he regrets it.
Lady Mary Crawley: He's painted himself into a corner.
Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: I know, why can't men ever paint themselves out of a corner?

Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: Oh, don't be mysterious. It's the last resort of people with no secrets.

Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham: You're not going to believe it!
Cora Crawley, Countess of Grantham: She's pregnant again?
Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham: No!
Cora Crawley, Countess of Grantham: She's been arrested for treason?

Isobel Crawley: I keep bursting into tears.
Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: Why, of course you do. Why wouldn't you, when you're in love with him?
Isobel Crawley: Am I? That phrase conjures up for me dance cards and stolen kisses and Mama waiting below in the carriage. Not two old fuddy-duddies who can barely manage the stairs.
Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: It's good to be in love, whatever age.

Isobel Crawley: I can't think why I turned him down. I must have been mad.
Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: The course of true love never did run smooth.
Isobel Crawley: After Prince Kuragin, did you ever fall in love again?
Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: You must know by now I never answer any question more incriminating than whether or not I need a rug.

Mrs. Hughes: I'll make an appointment.
Mr. Carson: There's no need.
Mrs. Hughes: I don't believe ignorance is bliss. At any rate, it isn't bliss to me.

Thomas Barrow: Is that it, Sir Mark? Mrs Jenkins, me and Elsie?
Sir Mark: Yes. This is not 1850, you know.

Isobel Crawley: I can hardly push my way past the servants and run upstairs to his bedroom.
Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: I don't see why not. As my late father used to say, if reason fails, try force.

Joseph Molesley: Mr Carson, are you all right?
Mr. Carson: Never better.
Mrs. Hughes: Why say you're never better?
Mr. Carson: I see, I'm to tell my private business to the whole world now.

Mrs. Patmore: Oh, hello. What can I do for you?
Mrs. Hughes: Just looked in to say good night. We're going.
Mrs. Patmore: Oh, back to the carefree love-nest.
Mrs. Hughes: I hope. Oh, it's a love-nest, all right. But no life is care free.

Denker: Oh, Mr Spratt. I know you resent me.
Spratt: Why would I resent you?
Denker: Because I'm interesting, because I'm exotic, because I'm attractive.
Spratt: Oh, dear me, this is worse than I thought. Do you always have trouble distinguishing fact from fiction?

Thomas Barrow: Sir Mark, may I remind you that I will be away on New Year's Eve? Mrs Jenkins will carry up the tea.
Sir Mark: The cook?! Carrying the tea into the drawing room?

Mr. Carson: When the wedding is over, I will place an advertisement and I will do the preliminary interviews myself. I could not give this house or this family into hands that I do not trust.
Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham: This is very drastic.
Lady Mary Crawley: But you'll stay in our lives, Carson? You'll stay on the estate, keep a seeing eye on things, help manage grand events and so on?
Mr. Carson: I would like to say yes to that, my lady. But I doubt that the new butler would accept the job under such terms. I know that I wouldn't.

Lady Mary Crawley: Papa just resents the hours you spend at the hospital.
Cora Crawley, Countess of Grantham: Hours I'm not spending on him. I'm sure it's quite unconscious.
Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: Men are unconscious for so much of the time.

Lady Rose MacClare: If you want to keep her, Robert, you must let her go.
Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham: I'm not very good at those American slogans.
Lady Rose MacClare: Then forget the slogan and listen to this. You have a wonderful marriage and with my parents, I should know. Don't spoil it now by asking her to choose. Please.

Denker: Oh, dear, I do feel responsible. Perhaps I should have held my tongue. But, I suppose, truth will out.
Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: Every time, Denker, every time.

Isobel Crawley: We didn't always think there'd be a happy ending for Edith.
Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: Well, there's a lot at risk, but with any luck they'll be happy enough. Which is the English version of a happy ending.
Isobel Crawley: What do you think makes the English the way we are?
Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: I don't know. Opinions differ. Some say our history, but I blame the weather.

Mr. Carson: I don't want to force your hand, Mr Barrow.
Thomas Barrow: And I don't want to twist your arm, Mr Carson.

Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham: I'm afraid Mama would find it rather unorthodox.
Cora Crawley, Countess of Grantham: Maybe. But you know what I think? I think the more adaptable we are, the more chance we have of getting through.
Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham: We'll do it. The estate's safe in Mary's hands with Henry and Tom to help her. Edith has risen from the cinders in the hearth to be kissed by her very own Prince Charming. What more can we ask?
Cora Crawley, Countess of Grantham: A long and happy life together, just we two, to watch the children grow. That's all I want. And why not? We never know what's coming, of course, who does? But I'd say we have a good chance.

Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: Makes me smile, the way every year we drink to the future, whatever it may bring.
Isobel Crawley: Well, what else could we drink to? We're going forward to the future, not back into the past.
Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: If only we had the choice!

Louis C.K.: Sorry (2021)

& Well... M-my -- my favorite sex position...

& I'm trying to learn things about myself. Um, I got a scale for my bathroom. I'm not trying to lose weight, I'm just interested in the data.

& Here's the thing: men... our biggest fear in life is that we're going to get caught being a kid fucker, that's every guy's biggest fear. Even if you would never do it, every guy's like, "That's what's going to happen to me, I know it." It's like being afraid of sharks when you live in the desert, like, "I don't go to the ocean, but it's going to happen." 'Cause it's a fear not based in its likelihood, but in how horrible it would be if it happened.

& We lose things because we won't really face it, you know, that are important us, like the Boy Scouts. Boy Scouts -- wonderful thing, being sued out of existence 'cause of all the kid fuckery that goes on. ...

& Take the contribution from where it comes. Michael Jackson -- wonderful music, blessed us with wonderful music -- did some other things, too. What -- look, what's worse: a pedophile who makes beautiful music, or one that doesn't? This is the choices. "No pedophiles" is not on the menu.

& So how've you all been enjoying living the way I already was for a couple of years before all this shit? Welcome to my life.

& Can't work, can't go outside, can't show your face, gotta wash your groceries. 'Cause I got cum on the groceries.

& I have a solution for the pandemic, by the way, for COVID, I have it. This is it: We test everybody, first of all, and every time we find somebody who has COVID, you kill them. That's it. That's the solution. You won't need another one after that one. That's the final one.

& It's been pretty amazing to be alive during this thing, during COVID, because you're not going to see this again, and, wow, did we learn some shit.

& The things that teach you in life are things you never would have chosen to do for yourself.

& Think about your life as far as it's been, where you had the choices, where you're like, "I'm going to do this, I'm going to pursue this." It all goes to shit, every bit of it. And even when it goes right, you're like, "Why don't I like it? It's what I wanted. But why don't I like it?!" Because it's your choice and your choices are based on fear and fucking just thin, stupid, shitty hopes. But when life just kicks you in the balls and you're like, "Oh, fuck, everything's different now," and you... It shows you shit you wouldn't have looked at otherwise.

& And what I thought was really interesting about COVID, and still is, is that it's the first thing I've seen where everyone on Earth had the same problem. Every human being on Earth had the same problem, and we never had that before. That's why we don't give a shit about each other...

& We all had the same problem, every person from Zimbabwe to Tokyo to Newark to Honolulu, everybody was doing the same dumb shit. Every person had the same stupid fucking moment at the same -- just trying to get the mask out of the well of your car door, trying to... "I got to go in Walgreen's, where's my fucking mask?"

& I actually like the masks, 'cause it just -- everybody looked nice. Everybody did, 'cause it's just their eyes. Eyes are nice.

& It really was an interesting social experiment, COVID, because everybody got told the same thing -- the whole world got told the same thing. If you go out unnecessarily, millions will die. And a lot of us said, "Oh, I'm going out." "Yeah... I'm going now and a lot." Yeah, and millions died.

& One thing I found very interesting was that during the pandemic, a lot of people really liked counting the dead people. That got very popular, was counting the amount of the dead and dying.

& That's my main problem, by the way, with the whole "defund the police" idea: What about people who want to commit suicide by cop? What about them?

& We had a lot of protests in New York, and now we have protesters that just live here. They're not at a protest, they're just here.

& I think that -- I thought it was good how p--- how young people got out there and they expressed themselves, they went out there to solve a lot of problems. Not all the problems, but some of them. They went out there to stop discrimination. Uh, not all discrimination. Just some of it, which is a weird form of discrimination.

& By the way, you know how many fat people we have in this country? About 600 trillion-billion-thousands of 'em! You know how many trans people there are? About 38. But if you're trans and you need a restroom and it's awkward, we'll change every restroom! But if you're fat and you need an MRI, you go to the zoo, you fat bitch. Just go to the zoo.

& I'm saying this out of respect for elephants, by the way, because we're supposed to respect how they live. They don't fucking cure their diseases. This is not their culture, this is our weird -- "Let's fix it! Oh, he's sick!" That's not how elephants live!

& An elephant in the Serengeti isn't like, "I have a lump, I have to see my oncologist." When an elephant gets cancer, he falls over and takes his fuckin' turn and becomes food. You don't put an elephant in a state-of-the-art -- What if you find cancer? What, are you going to give them chemotherapy? Think a skinny elephant with a pink baseball hat. "Each day is a gift."

& I love animals, I do... I do. We have a weird relationship to animals -- we name them and we play with them, and we kill them and we eat them, and we stuff them. And we draw them.

& I have a dog -- I love my dog, but I don't know my dog. We've never had a conversation, not one time.

& There's no way she's just like, "Dog." There's stuff going on in here. I've seen it. You ever watch your dog make a decision? You ever d-- watch your dog just walk in the room and then look around, like... "I'm going to go over here." Why?! Please tell me why!

& I think my dog thinks I'm insane because I look at my life through her -- through her eyes, like, I'll watch TV for four hours, and from my dog's point of view, I'm just sitting there....... "What -- the fuck is he laughing, what happened?"

& It's just the way it is, you're not going to -- A baby will never come out of a penis. Which is good. It's a good thing. Because it's hard for women. Imagine pushing a whole baby out of your penis, dickhole. Even just the hand. Yeah... Anyway, so that's why gay couples adopt. That's why.

& Did you hear the other one ended with "banana"? Banana -- I got three banana jokes, by the way. This is number two...

& You wanna hear the other banana one now? All right.

& Okay, so... I was at the grocery store... and I needed bananas. So I go over to where the bananas are, and there's a Black woman at the bananas... It's going to be okay. It's going to be okay, I swear... I understand.

& White people are very scared of discussing bananas and Black people in the same conversation. I understand -- if I have a Black friend over, I would never offer him a banana. I just, I don't know why, I just wouldn't do it. ... These are just the facts of the case. All right?

& So I'm waiting. And she's kind of takin' a long time. And the longer she takes, the longer I'm a white man watching a Black woman choose bananas. And this is an awful thing about the world today, because I know I'm not doing anything wrong, but I feel fucking bad. I feel fucking bad.

& So I went to the strawberries. And there's a fuckin' Jew at the strawberries. "Here's a nice one!..." That's the Jew. I'm not going to do the Black woman. No, not -- you know why? Because I'm not afraid of Jews. That's really... That's the bottom line. I'm not scared of Jews.

& I don't find Jews to be frightening... unless you're in Palestine, then they're terrifying. It's very different. Over there, they're like, "The Jews are killing us!" And here, we're like, "Really? The Jews?" "We've been slapping them around for years."

& Just trying to be fair. Just trying to be fair to the Jews. "Lawd, have mercy." Anyway... Don't worry, I'm an old man, I'll be gone very soon.

& I worry about getting old only 'cause I don't want to lose my memory, you know? I mean, some of it I would love to lose. But it doesn't work that way. You got to take it all or none, I guess.

& Some people worry about getting old because they think it means that they're dying, which it does. But this doesn't worry me -- I don't worry about dying because I think it's necessary. I think it's something that you just have to do. You should do it. It's -- when it's your turn, you should do it.

& If somebody you know, your doctor says you're dying, just say, "Okay," and die -- don't, you know, "May be a miracle?" Fuck you, get in the ground, just take your turn.

& ...an important idea, which is that dying is important, it's every generation's greatest contribution to history is that they die. It's the only thing that keeps things moving; it's the only reason there's any progress in the human race is that folks keep fucking dying. Every generation has had a mix of douche bags and amazing people and boring, great, good, whatever, but they're all fucking dead. Every fuckin' one. Thank God, they're all fucking dead. There's a limit to how much any of the good ones did, and the shitty ones got to stop being shitty. It's a great system.

& ...just, when you get older and you start going, "Everything's so crazy now" -- no, it's fine, just get the fuck out.

& If you're in an airport and you're looking at the toilet and you're like, "I don't understand how this works," it's time for you to die, that's what that means. These toilets are for the next people, get the fuck out. That's the way I look at my life now.

& I'm excited about a lot of what's coming, there's things that are hard now, but that's the way it is. Things are going to get -- I think it's exciting what's happening; I think young people today have some great ideas. They're being a little cunty about some of them, but the ideas are good. The ideas are good.

& We were so -- we were afraid to seem gay when I was a kid, 'cause in the '70s, the stereotypes showed you what everybody is like. Men are like this... And then the women have to act like this... and then gay people are like... they're just tired. That was gay people in the '70s. "I'm gay. Help, I'm gay, I can't even do anything."

& You ever meet a gay person? You don't fuck with gay people, not today. They're all athletes, first of all. And they -- they got their shit together. They're fucking -- their motherfuckers, gay people. Your landlord's gay. They're billionaires! They own Apple. They're in the cabinet, they're in the Navy. They're -- they're -- they're cowboys and Indians and construction workers. Gay men are men.

& Gay men are men now. They're -- they're fathers, they're husbands, they're men. Today's heterosexual men are faggots. I don't know how that happened! And I -- but they're fags! I'm saying that with love and as an old man on his way out the door, but they're fucking fags! They're intelligent and they're evolved, but they're fags, with the pajama shorts?! And the -- just pale, almost blue. "Mm, my wife got a promotion today." Oh, good for you, faggot.

& We should have all of it, the whole spectrum, the whole alphabet, all of it. But somebody does have to be just a straight fucking. You have to have that. It doesn't have to be the most important, but you do need it because it's where it all fuckin' comes from. Until they figure out some other shit, this is where life still starts. If -- if you want to eat local and organic, you got to respect that someone's got to have a hard dick fucking a pussy. That's -- that's where every trans, every gay person, came from -- two boring straight people fucking.

Debra Morgan: Remember when you thought not killing was the problem?

Harrison Morgan: Don't get caught. That's only a part of it.

Maid 1×9


Alex: I don't have any money.
Denise: Oh, it's all free. The tags are blank, just for decoration. No prices.

Denise: The boutique isn't open to the public. It's just for our residents to come in and pick out what they like, to have that sense of self again.

Brandi: Everybody gets overwhelmed the first time they come in here. It's because our circuits are completely fried by what we've been through. When I first got here, it took me weeks to remember my favorite color.

Alex: Why is there a cash register if everything's free?
Brandi: So it feels normal.
Alex: It doesn't feel normal.
Brandi: Well, I'm the one putting pretend purchases into pretend shopping bags right now.

Paula: This is my daughter and her daughter.
Micah: You're a grandmother?
Paula: No. My daughter has a daughter.

Brandi: That's a pretty blue.
Alex: It's sky blue. My favorite color. Not cobalt. Not navy. Sky blue.

Being the Ricardos (2021)

Lucille Ball: I'm not a Communist, I've never been a Communist, but technically, yeah, I am.

Lucille Ball: Fred C. Hunt, my grandfather, was a member of the party. This was in the early '30s. I was in my early 20s. He never used the word "Communist." But he cared about workers, the working man. He raised my little brother and me, and I wanted to please him. So I checked the box. Back then, it wasn't considered much worse than being a Republican.

Lucille Ball: Use a line on me you've never road-tested on anyone. I dare you.
Desi Arnaz: Would you like to learn how to rumba?
Lucille Ball: All right. Nice. And, yes, I would.
Desi Arnaz: Ah.
Lucille Ball: But there's absolutely no chance you haven't used that before.

Desi Arnaz: Uh, what's your, mm... ambition?
Lucille Ball: My ambition? For tonight? I wasn't making myself clear?
Desi Arnaz: No, I don't mean ambition. Ay, what do I mean? Uh...
Lucille Ball: Goals?
Desi Arnaz: No. Mm... future. Dreams.
Lucille Ball: What are my future dreams?
Desi Arnaz: I should've stuck with ambition.

Lucille Ball: Okay. I live in a small house.
Desi Arnaz: And your ambition is to live in a bigger house.
Lucille Ball: My ambition is to live in a home.
Desi Arnaz: Like for old folks?
Lucille Ball: Not a home, not an institution. A home.
Desi Arnaz: Ah.
Lucille Ball: With a family and dinnertime.

Desi Arnaz: Can I ask an impertinent question?
Lucille Ball: You gonna ask me why I'm not married?
Desi Arnaz: No, I was going to ask you why you're not a movie star.

Lucille Ball: You don't love me, and I don't love you, and you cheat on me every chance you can get, and I pretend I'm stupid, so I'm moving out. I'll send someone to pick up my clothes, okay? Love you. But, you know, not really.

Jess Oppenheimer: I'll bet you my next paycheck against your next paycheck that CBS won't even allow us to use the word "pregnant."

Desi Arnaz: Ay, maybe it'd be better if we didn't spend the little time we have arguing about why we don't have more time.

Lucille Ball: I'd like very much to have problems at home, but my problem's not home that much.

David Levy: Lucy, we've been here to the show a few times now. We noticed that when you do the show, you use gestures and expressions.
Lucille Ball: You mean the acting? My face, my body, my voice, that's all I get to work with.

Lucille Ball: There's no casting issue. I'm ready and eager to do a half-hour domestic comedy for CBS, if the role of my husband... let's call him Shmezy... is played by Desi.
David Hart: Can I remark on this?
Lucille Ball: Please.
David Hart: On My Favorite Husband, your husband is the fifth vice president of a bank.
Lucille Ball: Yes.
David Hart: Can I ask you, in all candor, do you see Desi as the fifth vice president of a bank?
Lucille Ball: I can't see him being the fifth vice president of anything. I can see him owning the bank.
Mr. Macy: You see the problem?
Lucille Ball: I see what you think is the problem.

Mr. Macy: I don't ordinarily come to meetings like this. This meeting is several floors below my general interest. I'm here to deliver a hard truth. We cannot have an all-American girl married to a man who isn't American.
Lucille Ball: He is American. He was a sergeant in the U.S. Army and he served in the war.
Mr. Macy: You know exactly what I mean, Lucy. He's Spanish.
Lucille Ball: Still no. He's never been to Spain in his life. He speaks Spanish. He was born in Cuba. His father was the mayor of Santiago, Cuba's second largest city.
Mr. Macy: You know exactly what...
Lucille Ball: What you mean? Yes. I do.

Lucille Ball: I don't want to take another meeting like this 'cause I don't know how many more people will fit around the table. My position is not gonna change. You want me on television? There is only one television show that I'm willing to do.

William Frawley: Sweet ladies? Something dies inside a man... it just dies... the first time he hears a girl call him old.

Bear Hunt

Maid 1×8


Alex: You mean, commit her?
Renee: She had a severe manic episode. She's still symptomatic. Pressured speech, delusions, irrational thought. She told me she thought she owned the house that she was breaking into.
Alex: Oh, she does, or she did.
Renee: Ah, well, she also told me that she's the goddess Aphrodite and she fucks the sun.

Paula: Baby. They don't know, baby.
Alex: What don't they know?
Paula: That the sun bends towards me. That I contain the sun in here.

Paula: But, baby, you don't understand. These people are really crazy. They're crazy, okay. Like, you know, mentally ill. I'm funny mentally ill. I run hot, you know. I mean, you know, I feel things. But these people scare me.

News of the World (2020)

Cavalry Lieutenant: What's your business up here?
Captain Kidd: I read the news from town to town.

Captain Kidd: The little girl is lost. She needs to be home.

Mrs. Gannett: Road taking its toll?
Captain Kidd: Sleeping through the night isn't what it once was.

Captain Kidd: "Daw" is a spirit. A breath. A circle... For us, it's more like a straight line. A line.
Johanna: "Li-an.”
Captain Kidd: "Li-an," yes. We're all journeying across the prairie in a straight line and looking for that place to be. And when we find it, we go straight out and we plow it, and we plant it all in a straight line.

Captain Kidd: Yes. They're dead... I want to get you away from all this pain and killing, get you clear of it. Going back, it's not good. Need to put it behind you... Yes. Stay on that line. And don't look back. Hmm?
Johanna: No. To move forward... you must first remember.

Captain Kidd: God's curse on me had taken her.
Mr. Branholme: It was sickness, Jeff, just sickness.
Captain Kidd: It wasn't sickness. It was judgment for all I had seen, and all I had done.
Mr. Branholme: I've known you 50 years. Since we were boys. We didn't ask for any of this. But it fell to us to do the fighting. We lived. She died. That's not judgment. It's just what we had to face and carry the rest of our days.

Captain Kidd: My name is Captain Jefferson Kyle kidd. This is miss Johanna Kidd. And that is all the news of the world we have for you. We thank you, and good night.

A Lock-In, a Weather Girl and a Disgusting Habit

Young Sheldon 5×11


Mary: I'm not a lame-o. I'm a fun-o.

Sheldon: Wil Wheaton plays Wesley Crusher. He's a child prodigy who's very young to be on the bridge of a Galaxy-class starship.
Missy: Okay.
Sheldon: But he's so intelligent that most people come to rely on him.
Missy: Okay.
Sheldon: Sounds kind of familiar, huh?
Missy: Okay.

Mary: So, what do you say?
Sheldon: Disrupting my sleep schedule to fraternize with children my own age? We both know the answer.

Mary: I could use someone as my eyes and ears if the kids get to causing trouble...
Sheldon: Are you asking me to help enforce the rules and police the other children?
Mary: Well, I wouldn't put it quite like that.
Sheldon: Because if you do, I'm in.
Mary: Then what you said.

Mandy: What do you know about getting wine stains out of rayon?
Georgie: You got to let it soak first.
Mandy: Does that work?
Georgie: I don't know. That's just my answer to every laundry question.

George: Well, that is hard to say no to, but let me give it a shot. No.

Mandy: Before this goes any further, there's something I got to tell you.
Georgie: This is going further? Sweet.

Mary: This is wrong, right?
Pastor Rob: You mean how much we're enjoying it?
Mary: Yes.
Pastor Rob: Well, that's the nice thing about being Christian. We can always ask for forgiveness.

Adult Sheldon: That night began my winning streak at sardines. Every lock-in, every birthday party, someone suggested we play, and I won every time. I'm the king of sardines!

Downton Abbey 6×8

Mr. Carson: And what makes you think you'll be any good?
Joseph Molesley: I don't know exactly. Perhaps because I want it so much.
Mr. Carson: There are plenty of little boys who want to be famous cricketers. It's not enough to make them champions.
Joseph Molesley: I just want to try, Mr Carson.
Mrs. Hughes: And so you shall.

Lady Mary Crawley: But that's absurd! If Bertie's a marquess, then Edith--
Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham: Edith would outrank us all. Yes. That's right.

Tom Branson: We'll all bow and curtsy to Edith. You'll enjoy that, Mary.
Lady Mary Crawley: Hardly! And if Bertie is Lord Hexham which I still don't believe, he won't want to marry her now.
Cora Crawley, Countess of Grantham: Careful. People will think you're jealous, dear. We don't want that.

Mr. Carson: One thing. Don't forget Mr Pelham is now the Marquess of Hexham, when you address him.
John Bates: I helped him unpack and he wishes to remain Mr Pelham until his cousin's funeral, Mr Carson.
Mr. Carson: He can call himself Mr Pelham to his heart's content but he is Lord Hexham nevertheless, Mr Bates, and we will refer to him as His Lordship.

Bertie Pelham: Look, of course things have changed. I was in line for a quiet life, farming, sport, bringing up a family with my wife. But now I'm to be one of the kings of the county -- always on parade, representing the people who look up to me, fighting for causes, trying oh so hard not to be disappointing...

Henry Talbot: If you're trying to get rid of me, I'm going to make this as hard and as horrible as I can!

Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham: How are you getting to Tangiers? Is there a boat that sails direct?
Bertie Pelham: Actually I'm flying. For the first bit, anyway.
Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham: What?
Bertie Pelham: I know. It does seem rather daring.
Lady Rosamund Painswick: I do not envy you.
Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham: I don't know. Now the commercial airlines are starting to operate, I dare say we'll all be flying hither and thither before too long.
Lady Rosamund Painswick: I rather doubt that.

John Bates: So you were wrong about him?
Anna Bates: I think I was. Why are you smiling?
John Bates: Show me a man that doesn't smile when his wife admits she's wrong.

Mr. Carson: Oh, I see. The plan is to mix up His Lordship or, worse, Her Ladyship, with a divorce petition and the scene of an adultery?
Mrs. Patmore: But I want to bury that story and I need a big event to bury it under.
Mr. Carson: You have no qualms about dragging the family we serve into the mud?
Mrs. Hughes: It's their choice, Mr Carson. They're all grown people, surely?
Mr. Carson: Well, I've always known that women were ruthless, but I didn't think I'd find the proof in my own wife!

Mrs. Patmore: It's my mess, why should you pay for it?
Mr. Carson: Indeed.
Cora Crawley, Countess of Grantham: Carson? Is this what you believe?
Mr. Carson: It is, Your Ladyship. I wouldn't like to see this family dragged into a tawdry, local brouhaha.
Mrs. Patmore: He means me.
Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham: Oh, I think we have to show a little more backbone than that.
Mr. Carson: My Lord?
Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham: Mrs Patmore has been loyal to this house and this house must be loyal to her.

Mrs. Hughes: They're doing something nice, Mr Carson. Don't spoil it.
Mr. Carson: Yes. Very nice! For the public to read about the cakes and dainties His Lordship is guzzling as he sits at the adulterers' table!
Mrs. Hughes: I'm sure there've been a few adulterers sat at the table upstairs.
Mr. Carson: That is different.
Mrs. Hughes: Why? To say nothing of suicidal footman in the attic!
Mr. Carson: What are we coming to? I only thank God that the Dowager isn't here to witness it.

Tom Branson: Was everything all right when you got home?
Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: Well no, not really. Spratt has gone away.
Tom Branson: Did you tell him you were coming back?
Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: A good butler should not need to be told.

Mrs. Hughes: Andrew, carry that out. And very, very good luck.
Mr. Carson: And good luck to us all. In the vain hope that we'll avoid scandalous gossip.
Mrs. Hughes: You're such an old curmudgeon.
Mr. Carson: Don't say you're going off me.
Mrs. Hughes: No, because you're my curmudgeon and that makes all the difference.
Mr. Carson: Hm.

Lady Mary Crawley: [Henry]'s well born, but there's no money or position. He's not even a countryman. Not really. He grew up in London.
Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: He shoots.
Lady Mary Crawley: Yes, he shoots. Like every social-climbing banker shoots.
Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: Well, let's leave his credentials to one side for a moment and concentrate on what is important.
Lady Mary Crawley: Which is?
Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: Tom says that he is in love with you and that you are in love with him.
Lady Mary Crawley: Do you believe him?
Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: Do you deny it?
Lady Mary Crawley: Oh, for you of all people to talk as if his qualifications don't matter!

Lady Mary Crawley: Oh, can't you find me some Duke? There must be one spare. So I can put Edith in her place.
Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: You are the only woman I know who likes to think herself cold and selfish and grand. Most of us spend our lives trying to hide it.
Lady Mary Crawley: Oh, Granny please don't lecture me on sentimental virtues.
Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: Don't worry. Don't worry. I believe in rules and traditions and playing our part. But there is something else.
Lady Mary Crawley: And what is that, pray?
Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: I believe in love. I mean, brilliant careers, rich lives, are seldom led without... just an element of love.
Lady Mary Crawley: Oh, Granny. You do surprise me.
Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: Oh, I am glad. So climbing all those stairs wasn't wasted.

Lady Mary Crawley: .... then why are you here?
Lady Edith Crawley: Because, in the end, you're my sister and one day, only we will remember Sybil... or Mama or Papa or Matthew or Michael or Granny or Carson or any of the others who have peopled our youth... until, at last, our shared memories will mean more than our mutual dislike.

Maid 1×7


Paula: How did a daughter of mine end up so square? You're basically a trapezoid.
Alex: A trapezoid is not a square.
Paula: Only a square would know that.

Paula: You are a real gem, Nathaniel. Like alexandrite, which makes a diamond look like a trash can.

Copshop (2021)

Bob Viddick: How you're not dead a dozen different ways by now is a cross between a fluke and a fucking miracle.

Bob Viddick: Aspirin is bad for your liver.
Brad: Cool dude, thanks. You a fucking doctor?
Bob Viddick: Yup. Got my degree from the University of Common Sense.

Teddy Murretto: Cops, politicians, entrepreneurs, heads of state. I handled them all. Call it high-end consultancy.
Valerie Young: You're a fixer.
Teddy Murretto: No, I hate that fucking term, I don't fix. I manufacturing opportunities.

Bob Viddick: Hard chargers get charged hard.
Valerie Young: What does that mean?
Bob Viddick: You don't know? It means, if you push too much then you get pushed back hard. But that doesn't sound as cool.

Anthony Lamb: Goddamn, son. What is the first rule of policing, huh? Beware the unusual element. And in this scenario, I believe that it is me.

Valerie Young: Are you a fucking idiot, Teddy?
Bob Viddick: That question persists.

Anthony Lamb: You look like Tom Cruise in that Samurai picture that nobody watched. Goddamn.

Bob Viddick: Now you see the difference? That is a psychopath.

Valerie Young: Bullets before prayers.
Teddy Murretto: Is that a poem?
Valerie Young: Bullets before prayers. My great-grandfather had that scrawled on his Stahlhelm helmet in World War II.
Bob Viddick: Stahlhelm? Isn't that a German army helmet?
Teddy Murretto: Your great-grandfather was a Nazi? But you're...
Valerie Young: Black?
Teddy Murretto: Black.
Valerie Young: Nazis were in North Africa in the 1940s. Just a little trivia to take from this circumstance. Like most Germans, at the time he had to fight, they were being overrun, he didn't have a choice.

Anthony Lamb: You in the cop business. So that makes you a murderer. But I'm in the murder business, so that just makes me a laborer.

Anthony Lamb: I mean, look, don't you wanna look like that one time? Fucking Chris Hemsworth enjoys a beach day with his wife, Elsa Pataky. Just one time in your life, don't you wanna look like Thor? Of course you do. It's only gonna happen with hard work and a swinging of the mighty hammer. So carry on, my Norseman. Come on, Thor!

Valerie Young: We are what we are. Always.

Valerie Young: You could run.
Teddy Murretto: So you could shoot me in the back?
Valerie Young: You've already stabbed me in mind.

Maid 1×6


Alex: I'm on seven types of government assistance and I'm working the maximum I can without getting my benefits cut. But after food and gas and daycare co-pay, we have a total of nine dollars extra every week! That's a box of tampons...

Alex: I think... I think that's a pee-pee teepee. It goes on the little boy's pee-pee while you change him so that he doesn't spray pee on you.
Regina: My son is gonna piss on me?
Alex: Yes. And so much worse.

Regina: When did you transition your daughter to her crib? Nine months?
Alex: Uh, no. She's always slept with me.
Regina: Interesting. So you did the co-sleeping method. Did you do a side sleeper or a swivel bassinet?
Alex: ..... Swivel, I think.

Yolanda: You're the longest she's ever kept one of my maids on, so you must be doing something right.
Alex: Wouldn't know it. The woman gives me fucking whiplash. Sometimes I'm her friend, sometimes I'm dog shit.
Yolanda: No, you're always dog shit.

Yolanda: You're never friends with a client.
Alex: She told me her whole life's story on Thanksgiving.
Yolanda: She weren't talking to you. Even if a client's looking at you, saying words to your face, they're still talking to themselves. You don't exist.
Alex: I do, though.
Yolanda: If you dropped dead and I sent another girl, she wouldn't even notice.

Yolanda: Hey, don't take this personal, honey. I've been cleaning some of these houses for ten years, and I still get called Selena, Gordita or whatever, I don't care. I'm just a burrito they call when their bathroom starts smelling bad.
