The Hill

This Is Us 6×9

Toby: I am very excited. I have made plans. I've made so many plans, my plans have plans.

Randall: If you could dream of doing anything, what would it be? Anything.
Kate: That is the problem. I can't think of anything. Okay, I'm not like you guys. You know, you want to be an actor, and you want to change the world. We're the exact same age, and you guys are way ahead of me. Randall, you've already met the love of your life. And, Kevin, I mean, you're so far ahead, you've already ruined one marriage. I just... When I look into my future... I literally see nothing. No job, no family. Nothing.

Jack: Okay, Katie girl. Here's the moment. Just let go. Katie, just let go. Let go.
Kate: I will never let go, Daddy, ever!
Jack: Yeah? Why not?
Kate: Why would I?

Jack: You're almost there, Kate. Let's go. Almost there!

Rebecca: How'd she do?
Jack: Today is not the day.

The One with Phoebe's Rats

Friends 9×12

Rachel: Am I the only one that doesn't think she's hot? Ross?
Ross: Ah, I mean, she's not unattractive, but... but hot? Ah...
Rachel: Thank you. Ha, ha.
Chandler: Now that Rachel's gone?
Ross: So hot, I cried myself to sleep last night.

Rachel: Stop looking at my ass. I mean, I just think you are totally inappropriate. Okay? This is a work environment. She's your subordinate.
Gavin: But it was okay when you slept with your old assistant, Tag?
Rachel: That is totally different for two reasons. One... I didn't know that you knew that. And two, I wasn't some creep staring at his ass. We had a... We had a deep, meaningful relationship.

Ross: Look, come on, man. I'm sure he'll lose interest in a week or two... but for now, could you please just do this for me?
Chandler: Fine, but don't blame me if it doesn't work. Because you know once Joey sets his mind on something... more often than not, he's going to have sex with it.

Joey: It's like my favorite fairy tale come true. The princess, the stable boy and the lesbian...

Doctor Dolittle (1967)

Matthew Mugg: But don't you see the problem?
Tommy Stubbins: What's that?
Matthew Mugg: Well, do you speak Chinese?
Tommy Stubbins: No.
Matthew Mugg: Then if you sell your grandfather's watch and we go to China, how are you going to tell the time?
Tommy Stubbins: I never thought of that.

Tommy Stubbins: Who looks after the animals?
Dr. John Dolittle: They look after themselves for the most part. Animals are better at that than human beings.
Tommy Stubbins: And how did you become a veteran?
Matthew Mugg: Stubbins, the word is veterinarian. Say animal doctor, it's less pretentious.

Dr. John Dolittle: Did you know that an ant has more intelligence than a hippopotamus? And a grasshopper, in relation to its size, has more power in its hind legs than a kangaroo. Absolutely fascinating. There's no doubt about it - animals are much more interesting than people.
Dr. John Dolittle: You know, Matthew, today I made a great discovery... I'm a terrible doctor. I'm probably the worst doctor in the world.
Matthew Mugg: Good for you. I like a man who knows his worth.

Dr. John Dolittle: I have absolutely no interest in the health and welfare of my patients. I can't begin to communicate with them. I don't even want to communicate with them. In fact, I've come to the conclusion that, with the exception of yourself, I have nothing in common with the human race.

Dr. John Dolittle: You mean animals actually talk to one another?
Polynesia: Well, of course we can. Do you think we're all dumb?
Dr. John Dolittle: I... No, no. I knew parrots could talk.
Polynesia: Parrots are the finest linguists in the animal kingdom. I speak over 2,000 languages, including Dodo and Unicorn.
Dr. John Dolittle: Unicorn?
Polynesia: I had a classical education.

Dr. John Dolittle: Polynesia, could I learn to talk to animals?
Polynesia: I don't see why not. You're quite intelligent.
Dr. John Dolittle: Oh, thank you. If I succeeded, I could become the greatest animal doctor in the world.
Polynesia: Oh, no question. Mind you, it isn't easy. I'm the only parrot in the world who actually understands what she's talking about.
Dr. John Dolittle: If you can do it, I don't see why I shouldn't.
Polynesia: I like your attitude.

Dr. John Dolittle: Polynesia, I want you to teach me everything you know.
Polynesia: What? 2,000 languages?
Dr. John Dolittle: Certainly. We'll start at eight tomorrow.
Polynesia: But it took me over 100 years.
Dr. John Dolittle: Then we’II start at seven. There's not a moment to lose.

Emma Fairfax: I've never in my entire experience known anyone treat people as appallingly as you do.
Dr. John Dolittle: I don't treat people, I treat animals.
Emma Fairfax: You treat people like animals too.
Dr. John Dolittle: I don't like people whose idea of pleasure is to take a defenceless animal and make a social event out of a killing.

Matthew Mugg: That's marvelous, but tell me, Doctor, how do you make money with a pushmi-pullyu?
Dr. John Dolittle: I thought it was obvious. Stubbins, what would you do if you had two heads?
Tommy Stubbins: I'd join a circus, sir.
Dr. John Dolittle: Exactly!

Matthew Mugg: Well, where are we going?
Dr. John Dolittle: To hunt for the great pink sea snail.
Matthew Mugg: And where do you expect to find it?
Dr. John Dolittle: I haven't the faintest idea. One place is as good as another, so it's time to decide. Otherwise we won't know we've arrived.

+ Dolittle (2020)

Million Dollar Baby (2004)

Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris: People love violence. They slow down at a car wreck to check for bodies. Same people claim to love boxing. They got no idea what it is. Boxing is about respect - getting it for yourself, and taking it away from the other guy.

Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris: Frankie liked to say that boxing is an unnatural act, that everything in boxing is backwards. Sometimes, best way to deliver a punch is step back. ... But step back too far you ain't fightin' at all.

Frankie Dunn: Well, do your best, Lord, to... protect Katy. Annie, too. Other than that... you know what I want. There's no use me repeating myself.

Father Horvak: What's confusing you this week?
Frankie Dunn: Oh, it's the same old one God, three God thing.
Father Horvak: Frankie, most people figure out by kindergarten it's about faith.
Frankie Dunn: Is it sort of like Snap, Crackle and Pop all rolled up in one big box?

Frankie Dunn: Well, I'm confused.
Father Horvak: No, you aren't.
Frankie Dunn: Yes, I am.
Father Horvak: Then here's your answer: There's one God. Anything else? Cos I'm busy.
Frankie Dunn: What about the Holy Ghost?
Father Horvak: An expression of God's love.
Frankie Dunn: And Jesus?
Father Horvak: Son of God. Don't play stupid.
Frankie Dunn: Well, what is he, then? Does that make him a demigod?
Father Horvak: There are no demigods, you fuckin' pagan!

Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris: Some people'd say the most important thing a fighter can have is heart. Frankie'd say, "Show me a fighter with nothing but a heart, and I'll show you a man waiting for a beating."

Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris: She came from southwestern Missouri, the hills outside the scratch-ass Ozark town of Theodosia, set in the cedars and oak trees somewhere between nowhere and good-bye.

Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris: If there's magic in boxing, it's the magic of fighting battles beyond endurance, beyond cracked ribs, ruptured kidneys and detached retinas. It's the magic of risking everything for a dream that nobody sees but you.

Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris: Boxing is an unnatural act, cos everything in it is backwards. You want to move to the left, you don't step left you push on the right toe. To move right you use your left toe. Instead of running from the pain, like a sane person would do, you step into it. ... Everything in boxing is backwards.

Frankie Dunn: If I'm going to take you on...
Maggie Fitzgerald: You won't never regret it!
Frankie Dunn: Look, just listen to me. If I take you on...
Maggie Fitzgerald: I promise I'll work so hard.
Frankie Dunn: God, this is a mistake already.

Frankie Dunn: If I take you on, you don't say anything. You don't question me. You don't ask why, you don't say anything except maybe, "Yes, Frankie." And I'm going to try to forget the fact that you're a girl.
Maggie Fitzgerald: It's all I ask.

Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris: To make a fighter, you got to strip 'em down to bare wood... You can't just tell 'em to "forget everything you know." You got to make 'em forget it in their bones... Make 'em so tired they only listen to you, only hear your voice, only do what you say and nothing else... Show 'em how to keep their balance and take it away from the other guy... How to generate momentum off your right toe and how to flex your knees when you fire a jab. How to fight backing up, so that the other guy doesn't want to come after you. Then you got to show 'em all over again - over and over and over till they think they were born that way.

Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris: All fighters are pig-headed some way or other. Some part of them always thinks they know better than you about something... Truth is even if they're wrong, even if that one thing is going to be the ruin of them, if you can beat that last bit out of 'em, then they ain't fighters at all.

Frankie Dunn: Can you uh... spare a few minutes for the Immaculate Conception?

Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris: People die every day Frankie, mopping floors washing dishes. And you know what their last thought is? "I never got my shot." Because of you, Maggie got her shot.

Boss 2×6

Ezra Stone: You're a chapter, a portrait, a handful of legislation, a thousand lies, and yet you cling to power, falsely believing you actually possess it. But your superiority of force, of will, your control, it's all an illusion because you're still dying, Tom! And that terrifies you, doesn't it? That you'll end up just like me. Dust no one misses.

Ezra Stone: You can't kill a dead man. But you can take responsibility.

     I want to be the kind of man that does the right thing because it's the right thing to do. The kind of man that's just there, you know? Just there. Think maybe I am. Or I'm trying to be.

Bear: I'm a type.
Bella: What do you mean, type?
Bear: You know that list you were filling out at the beginning of the day?... At the very bottom, there was something. You remember what it was?
Bella: Interracial.
Bear: The most extreme act you can do in porn. The most extreme. I mean, this is even beyond double-anal, triple-anal, DP, it's interracial.
Bella: That sounds a bit racist.
Bear: It sounds racist because... it is racist.

Bella: No, nothing's happened. I just can't take it anymore. Everyone here is just fucking insane.
Mother: Mm... Do you remember you wanted to leave Sweden because everyone was insane? I don't know what's happened. But... Unfortunately, you'll come across idiots everywhere. You just need to learn how to deal with them. There'll always be people who want to bring you down. Or say you can't. Especially if you're a young woman... This is your life, Linnéa. You're in charge. And when you've made your mind up, you can do anything. I know that.

Steve: Come on, now. Monica has a good job. It's not like you have a family to support.
Chandler: Actually, we're trying. I don't think Monica is gonna want to postpone it... We're supposed to have sex tonight... Actually, she's probably at home, naked right now... I tend to keep talking till somebody stops me... I can picture her on the bed...

Chandler: Okay.

Rachel: Wait. What do you mean, you're taking over my job?

Gavin: Clearly, you've never been to Sandals Paradise Island.

Ross: Uh, Rach, uh, we have a code brown situation.
Rachel: Honey, could you please take care of it for me?
Ross: All right, but you're gonna have to do one sometime.

The Adam Project (2022)

Christos: You know I can track your jump.
Big Adam: Yeah, but you know that I know that. So one of us doesn't know something else, right?

Big Adam: Son, you'd better start caring, because the future is coming, sooner than you think.

Big Adam: I don't know what that is, but when is a flashing red light ever good?

Young Adam: If this is happening to me... That means it already happened to you. Unless it works like a multiverse, where each ripple creates an alternate timeline...
Big Adam: It's not a multiverse! My God, we watched too many movies.

Big Adam: Okay, the prevailing wisdom is that when I go back to my fixed time, my memory... our memories, they reform, they reconcile. ...
Young Adam: Fixed time? What's that?
Big Adam: There's only one place in time where you belong on a quantum level, where you're not screwing around with the cosmos like I am. That is your fixed time. Where you actually belong.

Big Adam: I'll tell you somethin'... Boys always come back for their mamas.

Big Adam: Next thing you know, she has exclusive control over the most valuable resource on Earth, time.

Young Adam: And your fixed time, 2050, is it bad there?
Big Adam: We've seen Terminator, right?
Young Adam: Obviously.
Big Adam: That's 2050 on a good day.

Young Adam: I give Mom a hard time now, and... I think... I think it's easier to be angry than it is to be sad. And I guess, when I get older, I forget that there's a difference.

Young Adam: How did I live this long? That's a terrible idea.
Big Adam: Yeah, well, when a bad idea is the only idea, it becomes a great idea.
Young Adam: Who said that?
Big Adam: You. Nine years from now, right before you get arrested.

Benedetta (2021)

Giuliano Carlini: We also brought a lot of oranges, apples, and wine. And you will get the same amount for the next twenty-five years. Every year.
Sister Felicita: That's very generous of you, Mr. Carlini. And the deposit?

Sister Felicita: Every year we see hundreds of beautiful girls who want to serve God. These are this year's competitions. And I can only accept three.
Giuliano Carlini: .... In exchange for your acceptance of my daughter, I will be happy to present you with a gift of 50 gold coins. Not counting fruit and wine, that's fine too, right?
Sister Felicita: Outside these walls, the bride price is not less than 50 coins. Is the bride of Christ worth less?

Benedetta: I have seen Jesus.
Father Recordati: In a dream?
Benedetta: No. Of flesh and blood. How do I see you now in front of me.
Father Recordati: When you saw it, how did you feel?
Benedetta: Fearfully.
Father Recordati: So it was a false vision. When Christ becomes incarnate for us, we are filled with joy.
Benedetta: How do I know what is right and what is wrong?
Father Recordati: Through suffering. Suffering is the only way to know Christ.

Benedetta: I do not know. I don't know how God makes things happen. I only know that God expresses His will through me. It's not just my flesh. But His too.

Le nonce: What is love in your opinion?
Benedetta: I guess love is not feeling alone. It is... a heat here.

Soeur Rosanna: Keep your head up. I learned a thing or two when I was a prostitute. Humiliation leaves no scars.

Soeur Rosanna: ... She also wanted, to be taken to the plaza on a donkey, like when Christ entered Jerusalem.
Le nonce: The donkey certainly not. But I will let her do her little comedy with sister Felicita. After all, we have to play our roles, to the end, right?

Sister Felicita: God has never spoken to me as he speaks to you.
Benedetta: He is talking to you now. It speaks to you through your pain.
Sister Felicita: So, he talks a lot! But I don't understand anything he wants to tell me.

The Electrical Life of Louis Wain (2021)

Louis Wain: Miss Richardson?
Emily Richardson: Yes?
Louis Wain: When it comes to drawing, there's only really one rule you ever need to teach. It's to look.

Emily Richardson-Wain: Just when I was starting to enjoy it...

Louis Wain: We have a new friend. He's called Peter.
Herbert Railton: Peter?
Louis Wain: He's a cat. We have a cat now.
Herbert Railton: For mousing, you mean?
Louis Wain: No, Herb, as a pet.
Herbert Railton: Okay, Louis, I'm worried about you.
Louis Wain: Why?
Herbert Railton: You have a cat as a pet.

Louis Wain: Do you know the true meaning of the phrase, "There's no time like the present," Herb? It's that there isn't. It's too fleeting. In fact, I have a hypothesis that electricity is what pushes us through time. We turn the past into the future with the power of our electricity. But that process is entirely reversible. Remembering the past is no different from imagining the future. And neither is different to life itself. I can remember Emily in the future and she will be there. Do you see what I'm saying, Herb? Do you see what I'm saying?

Louis Wain: But these don't capture the spirit of the fight, Sir William.
Sir William Ingram: Yes, they do. That's why they're in vogue. They're fast, they're cheap and they're 100% accurate. Louis Wain: But where is the electricity?

Sir William Ingram: I have two pages earmarked in the Christmas edition. Reserved for a bit of festive frivolity. Something to raise the spirits of our readers. I'd like you to fill them with cats.
Louis Wain: With... cats?
Sir William Ingram: Yes. With cats.
Louis Wain: Don't you think perhaps a spread of silly dogs would be more appealing for your readership?
Sir William Ingram: I've seen dogs before. And you capture something of the cat, Louis. Perhaps because you yourself are a bit of a renegade. An outcast, dare I say.

Sir William Ingram: How you've managed to conjure images of such delight at such a dark time... I don't know.

Emily Richardson-Wain: Throughout history, cats have been worshipped as mystical gods and maligned as the evil allies of witchery and sin. But I think you're the first person ever to see that they are in fact ridiculous. They're silly and cuddly. And lonely. And frightened and brave. Like us... One day, I don't think it'll be so peculiar to have a cat in the house as a little pet.

Louis Wain: Sometimes... I think about the day you won't be here... and... I have to say, Emily, I find it intolerably difficult to imagine. I will be so very alone.

Louis Wain: I don't know why it is that I find it so very difficult just being here on this earth, but... I can say with absolute certainty that you have made it much, much better. You make the world beautiful... and warm and kind. I just wanted to say thank you for that before it's too late.

Emily Richardson-Wain: I don't make the world beautiful, Louis. The world is beautiful. And you've helped me to see that too. Just remember... however hard things get... however much you feel like you're struggling... the world is full of beauty. And it's up to you to capture it, Louis. To look. And to share it with as many people as you can. You are a prism. Through which that beam of life refracts.

Louis Wain: I didn't copyright the images...

Dr. Elphick: Mr Wain, there is no question that you are delusional.

Mrs. Wain: You can run away from your family, Louis. You cannot run away from your grief. It trails you. Like a violent shadow.

The One with the Male Nanny

Friends 9×6

Monica: There's this one guy, Jeffrey, he's the maître d'. Chandler, you will love him! He is without a doubt the funniest guy I have ever met...

Joey: Am I making you uncomfortable?.. If you were bigger you'd hit me, huh?

Phoebe: I mean, I don't know. I was looking in his eyes... and I was just thinking, "Oh, my God, it's David. David's here." He's just so irresistible.
Monica: Really? The scientist guy?
Phoebe: Really? Chandler?
Monica: ... Continue.

Joey: Fire trucks!

Phoebe: No, I can't. I can't do this. It's bad.
David: But it's nice. And nice is good.
Phoebe: Mm-hm.
David: And good is not bad. Ergo, we should keep kissing.
Phoebe: No, no. No.
David: But... Ergo.

Ross: I'm sorry I'm the only one who isn't in love with Gary Poppins out there.

Friends 9×5

Ross: Oh, that was my mom. She's stuck in terrible traffic.
Rachel: Okay, well, that is now the third sign that I should not leave Emma.
Ross: What are the other two?
Rachel: Well, the first one is, I don't want to. And second one, I'm not going.

Ross: Really, the world is your oyster. Kick up your heels. Paint the town red.
Rachel: You need to learn some new slang.

Monica: Spend more time with the tie. That'll make a baby.

Chandler: Look, I can't do this. I can't make love to you while we're fighting this way.
Monica: Oh, sure. Now you're Mr. Sensitivity. But when you wanted to have sex right after my uncle's funeral...
Chandler: That was a celebration of life!

Mayor Tom Kane: Usually I'd speak to family members about this, but under the circumstances...
Dr. Ella Harris: Yeah, hardly the proper time to gauge that particular symptom, don't you think?
Mayor Tom Kane: .... Same old prick I've always been.
Dr. Ella Harris: Any hallucinations?
Mayor Tom Kane: As a matter of fact...
Dr. Ella Harris: You're having one now?

Mayor Tom Kane: He'll fit in... I wonder what it's like to take the shape of the space you're in.
Ezra Stone: Not enough water in the world.

Mayor Tom Kane: I hired you both for a reason. Never question my judgment. That's all.

Friends 9×4

Ross: How's that going? Is it getting serious?
Phoebe: I don't know. I don't know. I mean, you know, I like him. But, you know, am I ready to take my Grade A loins off the meat market? I'm not quite sure.
Ross: You know, I really admire your whole dating attitude. It's so healthy. I'm always like, "Is this moving too fast? Is this moving too slow? Where's this going?"
Phoebe: Yeah, I know. You are a bit of a drama queen.
Ross: You're so much better off, you know? You just go from guy to guy having fun... and not worrying that it never turns into anything serious.

Phoebe: This could have been my serious guy. He was sweet and smart and funny. Do you know how hard it is to meet a guy like that?
Ross: We are a rare breed...

Monica: Okay, I just got to Chandler's room, and I caught him... molesting himself.
Rachel: Ugh. That couldn't have been pretty. But you know, guys do that.
Monica: Uh, well, the weird part is... he was getting off to a shark-attack show.
Rachel: No!

Joey: Listen to this. I went out with this girl last night. Halfway through our date I realized... I already slept with her.
Rachel: You've slept with all the women in New York... and now you're going around again?
Joey: That's not even the weird part. I don't think she remembered sleeping with me!

Mike: Rachel? I thought she just had a baby with Ross.
Phoebe: Yeah, well... Yeah. You know, but Emma's birth certificate might say "Geller"... but her eyes say "Mukherjee."
Mike: That is so wrong.

Phoebe: I really never have been in a long-term relationship. I've never lived with a guy. I've never even celebrated an anniversary. So... You know, if that's too weird for you... and you want to leave, I totally understand. In fact, I'll close my eyes to make it less awkward.

Retfærdighedens ryttere (2020)

Otto: The probability of a key witness in a gang-related homicide case and his lawyer dying in an accident 13 days before he set is to testify is, according to my calculations... Let's see. One to 234,287,121. Too big of a number for it to be ignored.

Politimand 1: It is most unfortunate. But nothing indicates that it was anything other than an accident.
Otto: The numbers do. The numbers never lie.

Politimand 2: It doesn't make any sense.
Otto: Isn't your job to make sense of it? All I'm saying is it's too big of a number.

Markus: When people die, they're gone for good, sweetie. And you might as well learn that now. For unless you also die at a young age, you will end up burying most of the people you love. And if you keep tormenting yourself every single time with false hope about souls and little angels in the clouds, you'll go crazy. Okay?

Emmenthaler: We're all aware that we're on our way to meet a psycho gang member, right?... His brother is a gang member.
Lennart: He's an electrical engineer specializing in train components.
Emmenthaler: Narcotics, assault, aggravated assault, aggravated assault, theft, complicity in manslaughter, horse theft, possession of a narcotic, illegal possession of a firearm...
Lennart: So an electrical engineer specializing in trains, who moves in bad circles--
Emmenthaler: And stole a horse.

Markus: It was a mistake... I shouldn't have done it.

Otto: We haven't talked about murder!
Lennart: No, but you wanted to drain their accounts and sign them up to lots of memberships.
Otto: There's a pretty big leap from that to murder.
Lennart: My point is we've discussed revenge.

Otto: Lennart's brilliant. He's seen more than 25 different psychologists in 40 years. He's in personal contact with pretty much every diagnosis.

Emmenthaler: I just like assembling things.

Otto: Chess is the only game in the world where chance and luck aren't a factor. There are no dice, no jokers or hidden elements. Everything is right in front of us and it is purely your own actions that determine the result.

Otto: It'll never, ever make sense. It's a waste of time.
Mathilde: I know. I've gone over it all a million times to uncover some reason. But there isn't any.
Otto: Yes, that's just it. There's a centillion reasons. But they won't help you.

Mayor Tom Kane: No, what are you doing here? How, where, who, et cetera? And don't simply remind me that you're on loan from some other office, because a kid with your inexperience doesn't land a position like this unless he's fucking somebody, hard, in either sense of the word.
Ian Todd: Well, um... Where do I start?

Ben Zajac: I don't know. You're both right. It could look exploitative on one hand, and it's now or never on the other.
Maggie Zajac: The public will eat this up, as they should.

Chaplain: She never expressed her own wishes one way or another?
Mayor Tom Kane: A rare omission for a woman who always made her wishes known. She was more of a "my will" than a "thy will" kind of person. Is more of one, rather. I don't know, maybe it doesn't make a difference either way. God will not be mocked.

Mona Fredricks: What's our Plan B if the vote doesn't go our way?
Alderman Ross: It's going our way! If I have to buy a vote or two to make it so, then welcome to Chicago. But over my dead body will the Gardens be torn down by this cracker-ass fascist in suspenders after all the shit he's pulled right under our eyes.

Ian Todd: I work for the Mayor. And as long as you keep up this kind of routine, you might as well work for your father.

Their grandchildren and great-grandchildren would love to be able to exhume their remains to give them a proper burial, as they promised their mothers... as they promised their mothers and grandmothers. And until we do, the war will not be over.

Fish Man: You serve in a fish shop and you don't eat fish? What do you eat?
Conor MacSweeney: Chicken.
Fish Man: Chicken. And nothing else?
Conor MacSweeney: Chicken nuggets, chicken balls, chicken burger, deep-fried chicken, chicken Kiev, chicken wings, chicken legs, chicken soup... stir-fried chicken, chicken tikka masala...
Fish Man: Alright, alright, I get it. You like chicken.
Conor MacSweeney: Fucking love it!

Jock Murphy: Do you know how many zeros that is after 7 million?
Conor MacSweeney: Hundreds!
Jock Murphy: Yeah, fucking thousands of zeros! It's so much money!

Conor MacSweeney: But what if we get caught, though?
Jock Murphy: Do you not know the rules that govern this country?
Conor MacSweeney: What?
Jock Murphy: When the forefathers founded our country.
Conor MacSweeney: Who were they?
Jock Murphy: The forefathers. St Patrick, St Brigid... I dunno. Why are you asking me these questions, like? Ask the teacher that. Basically, when our forefathers founded this country, yeah, they made rules, like if you're younger than 16, you're classified as a young offender which basically means you can't get in trouble.
Conor MacSweeney: So, we're just off the hook?
Jock Murphy: For some reason, they thought our brains weren't developed enough, that we wouldn't know what we were doing or something. I know, stupid, isn't it?
Conor MacSweeney: Spastics!
Jock Murphy: It's basically like a get-out-of-jail-free card.

Conor MacSweeney: There are two things you need for a good adventure - a treasure map and someone dumb enough to go with ya.
Jock Murphy: Oi, kid!
Conor MacSweeney: Now Jock had both.

Conor MacSweeney: Crime is sort of similar to going for a swim in the sea. First you dip your toe in and it's a bit cold, but before long you're in up to your balls and...

Conor MacSweeney: You know, when you've only got one thing on your mind, it can be kind of hard to think clearly. You can get tunnel vision. But if you stop and open your eyes just for a moment... you'd be amazed at what you might see.

Conor MacSweeney: For me, it was just one of them adventures you go on, like looking for your G-spot. You don't really believe it exists and you're not sure what to do with it if you find it.

Conor MacSweeney: Look, I just don't want you to be a total fuck-up, alright? I'm not gonna be a total fuck-up. I'll fuck up along the way, like, but I'm not gonna...

Mairead MacSweeney: You're young offenders. You'll end up in a juvenile detention centre.

Taylor Mason: Trying to pick a winner in a fast-growing sector.
Kate Sacker: Trying to get it added. To boost its price and market cap by enough that it's added to the S&P 500. When it is, all the index funds are forced to buy in, that's the rule. Which pumps the stock even more, and you can dump it before it cools.

Meredith Kane: When?
Mayor Tom Kane: Everything happens today.

Sam Miller: All right, stop. Honestly, sincerely, who gives a fuck about this election? Nothing's changing here. Not the people running, not the way they do business, and not our stories. Here's what we're going to do...

Mayor Tom Kane: All of them in on it, right under our noses. Boy... When you stop being able to see the angles, fuck. Something this big...
Ezra Stone: Making it from one day to the next isn't clean or pretty, it's messy. But if you've survived the day, then you've survived, that's it. It's all that matters.

Ezra Stone: It's not that they think of you as a good guy, but they do see you as a father in pain. They sympathize, and that's the mother lode in terms of connecting with voters. What you did was... It worked. Painful, but politically, it worked. They relate to you out there.

Emma Kane: What, you want me to heal my relationship with God? He let me down. What I did was right. Where is He?
Rector: What are you saying? That somehow you are owed something? That you can strike some kind of deal with God? You don't follow rules so that God will provide you with a safety net. The real test is when you don't hear anything at all from Him and you still follow Him. He didn't let you down because He doesn't owe you anything. If you never saw the transcendent in all of this, if the church was just some form of self-imposed stricture to keep you sober, how did you expect it to work? You can't trick it, Emma. That's not how it works...

Mayor Tom Kane: I'm not going anywhere. My back's against the wall. You know it. I know it. So from where I stand, I'm only hitting back. I will survive today, I will survive tomorrow, and the next day, one day at a time. Where do you want to be when I do?...

Ezra Stone: ...men like you never leave. The system isn't designed to cleanse itself of a Tom Kane. You stay and hold onto power beyond when you should, and in so doing, bring corruption to everything while you remain. You need to be pushed.

Ezra Stone: You don't have a choice. Punishment should always be commensurate to the crime. It should be proportionate and visible. A punishment is not only an act of retribution, it's also a signal. It needs to be seen and understood by anyone else who might have flirted with the notion of committing the same transgression.
     And it's a signal that no one is exempt from the consequences of betrayal.
     There's a formal aspect to punishment, a ritual nature. It has shape and body. It's about consequence, accountability. Actions having repercussions.
     It's vital that the transgressors understand the rules they have broken.
     Your choice of punishment needs to be seen as fair, proportional and reciprocal. But the nature can only be decided by the punisher himself. You. You decide. The boss.

Ben Zajac: It's okay. Guess it wouldn't be Chicago politics without a little spilled blood, right?

Gerald 'Babe' McGantry: You want to build a reputation for yourself apart from the family's. And that is a fine thing. A necessary thing. But this family has been sailing a boat with City Hall from the time the building itself went up.

Gerald 'Babe' McGantry: Continuity at all costs. Leaving the landscape unchanged or changed in appearance only. It is how we've gotten to where we are and how we stay here for the future.

An Alien in New York

Resident Alien 2×6

Sheriff Mike Thompson: Do you know anything about, uh, getting stains out of couch cushions? I mean deep stains.
Mayor Ben Hawthorne: No, you know anything about getting disgusting images out of my head?

Deputy Liv Baker: Sir, I just think that we should consider that maybe it wasn't a meteor. Maybe it was a U...
Sheriff Mike Thompson: Deputy, no.
Deputy Liv Baker: F...
Sheriff Mike Thompson: Please don't. Please.
Deputy Liv Baker: O.
Sheriff Mike Thompson: Damn it! You're supposed to be an officer of the law.

Sheriff Mike Thompson: Deputy, look, I appreciate mystical creatures, all right? I really do. Well, except for mermaids. You know, where they get off sitting up on the rocks all high and mighty, expecting you to ask them out on a date? I mean, why they so stuck up? I mean, if you have fish, you gonna smell all like fish, you understand?
Deputy Liv Baker: Gross.

N 42: It's my time. I've... I've lived a good life. .... It was an honorable death. Honor my life by... eating my dead body in a butter sauce with a... a nice... like, a really nice Chardonnay.

D'Arcy Bloom: You don't fart around your wi... What's the point of being married if you can't fart around your wife?

Sheriff Mike Thompson: Okay, now, you think police work is a joke, huh? You think this is a game. What you think... I got Willy Wonka tattooed on my ass 'cause it's a chocolate factory or something?

Harry Vanderspeigle: I am drinking coffee... and I am eating pie. Mmm! I like pie. It is like cake, but made with real food.

Mayor Ben Hawthorne: Live, laugh, love.

Violinda Darvell: Tell me... How long have you known Harry is an alien?

Harry Vanderspeigle: This is some bullshit.

Stasis

Boss 1×7

Ezra Stone: If you have anything, any wild card, whatsoever, now's the time to play it.
Mayor Tom Kane: I'll ride it out.
Ezra Stone: Tom.
Mayor Tom Kane: I'll ride it out. Two days is 48 hours, is enough time to deliberate properly.

Mayor Tom Kane: Maybe they're right...
Kitty O'Neill: Sir?
Mayor Tom Kane: People out there. Not in their appraisal of me, but...
Kitty O'Neill: Yes, sir?
Mayor Tom Kane: But the timing. Comes a time you have to ask, "Why? Is it worth it?" Yeah, maybe that's how you finally calculate that it's time to do something else... Step down...

Sam Miller: And who's the source for these two quotes you don't credit?
Sentinel Colleague: Wikipedia.
Sam Miller: You're fucking kidding me. Dot com, forward slash, unacceptable. Fix it.

Sam Miller: What makes you think I want to be editor?
Peter Baine: Aside from the fact that you're still wet behind the ears enough to ask such a brash, rhetorical question?

Meredith Kane: Then you do it by sticking to the three basic linchpins of American politics... Money, muscle, and the neutralization of one's enemies.

Alderman Ross: Step down? That man will crawl inside the walls of City Hall and die with the other rats before he walks out willingly.

Mayor Tom Kane: Shake the tree, bad apples do fall.

Mayor Tom Kane: Sit down... I've asked you before, do you know who the fuck I am?.. Right now, in this moment, I am the angel of fucking death for you. And the next few minutes are gonna feel like perdition itself if you don't tell me what I need to know... Nod... You wanna play? Let's fucking play.

Mayor Tom Kane: How small. How pedestrian, how fucking cheap. Do you understand how little your petty act of defiance even registers? And to what end? Make your mundane, inconsequential life mean something? You want to feel, is that it? Feel needed? Worth it? You want to fucking matter? You don't. You don't fucking matter. Whatever station you occupy, others have given you, those of us who make things, who matter. And you know this. That's your burden, that forever, no matter how hard you work, how many futile sacrifices you make, how deeply you commit, you know it will always be another's hand that feeds you. Because that's what you are, that's what you'll always be. Dependent.

Ezra Stone: Tom, you okay?
Mayor Tom Kane: No.
Ezra Stone: Should I ask?
Mayor Tom Kane: Not now.

Ezra Stone: I'm sorry, but this is something that can't wait any longer. Public opinion, Tom. The time to ride things out is past. We have less than a day. Whatever you have, if you have anything, it's now or never. Otherwise tomorrow will be a bloodbath. Everything, really, will be over.
Mayor Tom Kane: Just give me five minutes...

Mayor Tom Kane: You know, I'm not really up on my Bible, but isn't there something in there about how there's a time to eat shit? Wish that you'd done everything different the first time?
Emma Kane: Close enough.

Gerald 'Babe' McGantry: Nothing like the bond of betrayal to keep you two in bed together.

The Lucky Ones

The Walking Dead 11×12

Eugene: The big guy in the orange armor who hates me. That's your brother?

Pamela Milton: I'm not convinced we need to stretch our resources like this. Grow your empire further than your power can extend and lose your empire.

Maggie: Why do you trust these people?
Daryl: Who says we do? When do I ever?

Aaron: There's like 50,000 people living there. At least 49.9 seem like decent enough folks.

Maggie: I've met so many communities, and I still can't figure out what makes some lucky and able to fight off the world while others can't.
Pamela Milton: I don't believe in luck.
Maggie: That's interesting.v Pamela Milton: I'm sensing more of an opinion.
Maggie: I mean, luck is about opportunity. I don't know anybody who's had more opportunity than you.

Maggie: I think that's called an autocracy.
Pamela Milton: No, it's not. Liberties haven't gone anywhere. You're the leader at Hilltop. You make the decisions. You consider yourself an autocrat?
Maggie: I-I lead the way I was taught by Deanna and Georgie. The communities that we built are fair.
Pamela Milton: The Commonwealth is fair.v Maggie: Yeah, but you drive a nicer car and live in a nicer house than everybody else.
Pamela Milton: I have more responsibilities than the average worker. A leader has to give her people something to look up to.
Maggie: Alright, well, I want people to look up to what I've done and what I do, not what I have that they don't.

Lance Hornsby: Look around. We can have so much more... Imagine being able to pick Hershel up from a concert at the Commonwealth, take him to a doctor's appointment in Alexandria, then jump on a boat at Oceanside, traveling up the coast. And what's up that coast? Another port town? Another school? How about a university? Have you ever imagined being able to drop your son off for his freshman year of college?...

Pamela Milton: ...why?
Maggie: 'Cause, like you said, everything costs something.

Eugene: I never meant to hurt you... But my intent does not excuse my impact. How can I make this up to you? Will you allow me to try?

Maggie: You need to be careful who you trust.

Lance Hornsby: Get ready, Aaron. We are going to remake the world.
