Decommissioned

The Crown 5×10

Queen Elizabeth II: Speaking of wholesale change, what are we going to do about Hong Kong?
Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother: The Great Chinese Takeaway?
Prince Edward: Granny.
Princess Margaret: She didn't just say that.
Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother: Why? Hong Kong's ours. The Chinese are taking it away.
Prince Charles: Taking it back.

Prince Charles: Hong Kong is clearly the more significant occasion. Shouldn't you be there? As sovereign?
Prince Philip: A monarch should never attend celebrations when a colony cuts ties. It's undignified. Like attending the wedding of someone you loved and trying to look happy for them.
Prince Charles: Been there, done that.

John Major: It is strange, the... the human capacity for self-deception. Despite all the polls, I still felt I had a chance of winning. Instead, my party has just suffered its worst defeat in memory. I do hope the history books will judge my premiership rather more kindly than the electorate has. Queen Elizabeth II: Whatever the historians make of it, you will always rank highly in my personal table of prime ministers. Very highly. I shall miss your calm, forthright, dependable presence.

Queen Elizabeth II: What do you make of him? Mr. Blair?
John Major: Oh, I shouldn't have done that... Well, the oft-touted criticism is that his leadership style is a triumph of image over substance. Much attention is also paid to his age.
Queen Elizabeth II: Mmm. Forty-three, I checked. The youngest prime minister since Lord Liverpool in 1812.

John Major: It's a funny old business. One day, you're prime minister, arguably the most... Well, the second-most important person in the country, and the next, you lose your job, your car, and you're evicted from your home. All before lunch.

Queen Elizabeth II: They're suggesting the yacht would no longer be Britannia. She would have a new name.
Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother: Go on.
Tony Blair: New Britain.
Prince Charles: I rather like it.
Princess Margaret: Wait, wasn't that Blair's political slogan?

Queen Elizabeth II: I said if those were the terms of the royal yacht's existence, I would sooner it be decommissioned. So that's the decision. Charles' trip to Hong Kong will be her last official trip. After 43 years of service and more than a million nautical miles around the globe... the royal yacht is to be retired.

Tony Blair: Your Royal Highness.
Prince Charles: Look at you... The first prime minister young enough to be the Queen's son... Winston Churchill, who sat in that armchair a great many times, was old enough to be her grandfather. Anthony Eden, Harold Macmillan, her father. Wilson and Heath, her husbands. Mrs. Thatcher, her twin sister. And you, her son. Which I suppose, by extension, would make us...
Tony Blair: Brothers.
Prince Charles: Yes. Two men of the same age and generation. And, hopefully, of a similar mindset.

Tony Blair: It would be like being trapped for eternity in opposition. I mean, we had 18 years. That was bad enough. He's already had 50. It can't be easy knowing your own mother has the final say on who you can or can't marry. Imagine if your mum had a veto over me...

Prince Charles: My affair, Mummy? I'm an unmarried man.
Queen Elizabeth II: Divorced man whose wife is still alive.
Prince Charles: Are we really having this conversation? Camilla and I are mature, willing adults.
Queen Elizabeth II: No doubting the "willing."
Prince Charles: Who make one another happy.
Queen Elizabeth II: No doubting that either. But isn't it time you asked yourself, what good can ultimately come of it when the public is so against it?
Prince Charles: This is madness.
Queen Elizabeth II: I tend to agree.

Queen Elizabeth II: I don't want to get drawn on Mr. Blair or whether he understands the people better than me or not.
Prince Charles: I'd say he does.
Queen Elizabeth II: But I do want to make clear that the only person in this family to have a direct relationship with the first minister is the sovereign.
Prince Charles: Which will one day be me.
Queen Elizabeth II: One day. But not yet.
Prince Charles: When?
Queen Elizabeth II: You should know the answer better than anyone because, God willing, you will one day take the oath yourself. This job is for life.

Prince Charles: In Hong Kong, I saw how easy it is to dispose of us. Buildings renamed. Your head removed from the stamps. 150 years of living under the Crown, they couldn't have been shot of us more quickly. That's what happens when... we fail to move with the times. You can't be blamed for living a long life--
Queen Elizabeth II: Thank you.
Prince Charles: But you have to accept that your... your values were shaped by Queen Mary.
Queen Elizabeth II: Yes. Proud of it.
Prince Charles: Hers by Queen Victoria.
Queen Elizabeth II: Proud of that too.
Prince Charles: I'm just worried, Mummy, that... if we continue to hold onto these Victorian notions of how the monarchy should look, how it should feel, then the world will move on. And those who come after you will be... will be left with nothing.

All Quiet on the Western Front (2022)

Rektor: You stand here on the threshold of existence. Remember this moment. It is a great moment. For in years to come, you will be judged based on what you dared to become today. The iron youth of Germany.
     My friends, we are fortunate to be alive at a great time. Your deeds will be the water nourishing the growth of a strong and noble route.
     I am certain that I will see most of you again soon, here at home. Your sword returned to its scabbard with honour and respect. A cross crafted from iron proudly displayed upon your chest. However, take heed of this. In the darkest of hours, let me assure you it will happen, that prior to an attack, you will harbour doubts. But this is not the time to concede to any mental weakness. Any unsteadiness, any hesitation is a betrayal of the fatherland!
     For modern war is like a game of chess. It is never about an individual soldier. Our only care is for the entirety of the body.
     You have the chance to earn the right to wear the uniforms you have been given. And by going to the front line in Flanders, we'll pierce the enemy. And then you will, in a few short weeks, finally march on Paris!
     Our future, the future of Deutschland, lies in the hands of its greatest generation. My friends, that is you, you see! Therefore, off to the camps for the Kaiser, God, and the fatherland!

Stanislaus Katczinsky: Paul, if we keep up this pace, we won't have conquered France for 180 years. I worked it out.

Stanislaus Katczinsky: How is all this going to work out, hmm? Returning to a home, having to go back to our normal being. Where all everyone wants to know about are the battles we've been in. We'll be like travellers who belong in another country elsewhere. Sometimes I wonder... Would... Would I be happier with you here at camp?

Matthias Erzberger: I stand before you in the hope that you will take our presence here today as an opportunity to take action to suspend all hostilities. In the name of humanity, I'm here asking you for an agreement to an immediate cease-fire for the entire duration of our negotiating time in order to spare our nation's unnecessary depletion.

Tjaden Stackfleet: Oh, dear Paul. I have something to give you...
Paul Bäumer: Is he dead?
Tjaden Stackfleet: You must show braveness. You're alive, remember? For that, you have to be grateful. For us. For those who didn't make it.

General Friedrichs: Comrades. Soon you will be going home to your parents, wives and children. The war is over. After years of sacrifice and suffering, you can now look forward to your reward. To the reward of admiration for all you have achieved here. Ah, but comrades, do you want to be welcomed as soldiers and heroes on your return or as weaklings and cowards who tucked their tails in when it really counted?
     Soldiers. We are about to attack them with the utmost force and vehemence. Latierre belongs in German hands. We will seize the plains before 11:00 a.m. and end this war with a merciless strike... and make them see... we were victorious.
     Onwards, with God on our side as he was with our fathers before us.

Couple 31

The Crown 5×9

Queen Elizabeth II: Dearest Charles. Dearest Diana. I am writing to let you know that everyone is now of one mind. That the termination of your marriage is not only inevitable but preferable...

John Major: I was lost for words. The boy from Brixton who couldn't get a job as a bus conductor being asked to mediate in a royal divorce. By the Queen herself. I... I was tickled by her use of the word "umpire."

Camilla Parker Bowles: ... Or I put my foot to the floor and go for it.
Mark Bolland: For what?
Camilla Parker Bowles: Isn't it obvious? I don't want to spell it out.
Mark Bolland: I think it's vital you spell it out.
Camilla Parker Bowles: Go for official acceptance. Legitimacy.
Mark Bolland: As his wife?
Camilla Parker Bowles: Yes.
Mark Bolland: And therefore, ultimately...
Camilla Parker Bowles: Well, whatever I would be if I were his wife.
Mark Bolland: I believe there's a name for it.
Camilla Parker Bowles: I can't say that word.
Mark Bolland: What word?
Camilla Parker Bowles: The "Q" word.
Mark Bolland: Why?
Camilla Parker Bowles: Because it's unsayable. Because... it's treasonous to even contemplate it.

Prince Charles: The two cornerstones of... any successful relationship. Does your partner make you laugh? And do they make you...
Camilla Parker Bowles: Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah!
Prince Charles: What?
Camilla Parker Bowles: Never know who's listening.
Prince Charles: No, God. That's true.
Camilla Parker Bowles: Don't want to make that mistake again.
Prince Charles: No. No, we do not.

John Major: In any negotiation, it's worth remembering there are often two languages being spoken. The language of the demands being made and what's actually being said underneath. I prefer to try and ignore the former and speak the latter.

Prince Charles: Well, divorce clearly suits you.
Princess Diana: It suits you, more like. Finally got everything you ever wanted.
Prince Charles: No man whose marriage has failed will ever have everything he wants. He'll forever be like a... vase with a great crack in it.
Princess Diana: Please.

Prince Charles: Some of the things you said in that interview. About me being unfit to be King, knowing the impact that would have on me.
Princess Diana: I only meant that being King would stop you from doing other things. Things that might actually make you happy. That you might be naturally more suited to, that's all.
Prince Charles: I'm not naturally suited to be King?
Princess Diana: That's not what I said.
Prince Charles: The thing I was born to do. I don't think I've ever heard anything... more quietly eviscerating.
Princess Diana: You're twisting my words. Don't get up.
Prince Charles: To say that about our son too. That you wouldn't wish him to inherit his birthright either.
Princess Diana: What caring mother would? Watch him suffer this madness? Just waiting for it to happen. The expectation. Look how miserable it's made you.
Prince Charles: It's not the waiting that made me miserable! It was years spent rotting in a marriage to someone trying to destroy me!

Judge Angel: Couple number 31. Case number 5029 of 96, His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales and Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales.

Fun Run

The Office 4×1

Michael Scott: This is going to be a very good year. Very good... Jan is at home. Jim is back. My protégé Ryan is at corporate. Good stuff. Andy and Dwight are rocking the sales team. I feel very blessed...

Michael Scott: So Ryan got promoted to corporate where he is a little fish in a big pond. Whereas, back here in Scranton, I am still top dog in a fairly... large pond. So, who is the real boss, the dog or a fish?

Michael Scott: I love my employees even though I hit one of you with my car, for which I take full responsibility.

Michael Scott: Look, I'm just trying to take everybody's mind off of this unavoidable tragedy and on to more positive things, so I thought we should plant a tree.
Jim Halpert: Oh, good. At least we don't have to work.

Michael Scott: Guess what? I have flaws. What are they? Oh, I don't know. I sing in the shower. Sometimes, I spend too much time volunteering. Occasionally, I'll hit somebody with my car. So sue me. No, don't sue me. That's the opposite of the point that I'm trying to make.

Michael Scott: I hate hospitals. In my mind, they are associated with sickness.

Michael Scott: You know what I was thinking might be sort of fun, is if you forgave me in front of everybody.
Meredith Palmer: Michael, I'm not going to do that.
Michael Scott: 'Cause you know what they say in the Bible about forgiveness? Forgiveness is next to godliness.

Michael Scott: Do I need to be liked? Absolutely not. I like to be liked. I enjoy being liked. I have to be liked, but it's not like this compulsive need to be liked, like my need to be praised.

Michael Scott: Man, what a day, huh? How could it get any worse? The computer crashes with the porn, and then Meredith with the accident, and then... Prinkles! God... That's three things. I'll tell you what's going on. This office is cursed. And we need to do something about it.

Michael Scott: Well, I am taking responsibility, and it is up to me to get rid of the curse that hit Meredith with my car.

Michael Scott: I'm not superstitious, but I am a little stitious... Did anyone do anything involving an Indian burial ground?

Michael Scott: Is there a God? If not, what are all these churches for? And who is Jesus' dad?

Angela Martin: Pssst... I'm having relationship problems, and since you're always having relationship problems, I thought you'd be able to give me some advice.
Pam Beesly: What's wrong?

Jim Halpert: So what's your strategy for this race?
Pam Beesly: Well, I'm going to start fast. Then I'm going to run fast in the middle. Then I'm going to end fast.
Jim Halpert: Why won't more people do that?
Pam Beesly: 'Cause they're stupid.

Gunpowder

The Crown 5×8

Prince William: You could get satellite TV... With hundreds of channels from all over the world.
Queen Elizabeth II: What? And abandon the BBC? I can't do that.
Prince William: You wouldn't be abandoning the BBC, Granny.
Queen Elizabeth II: Switching to satellite would be seen as a betrayal of the national broadcaster by the head of state. It would be treason. Like me becoming a Catholic.

Steve Hewlett: Of course, it's November 5th. Guy Fawkes night.
Martin Bashir: The significance of that date was not lost on me either.

Duke Hussey: ...whatever one may think of the royal family, she has been remarkable and doesn't, in my view, get the credit or the gratitude she deserves.
John Birt: And isn't that one of the many things that the BBC's for? To kiss the ring?
Duke Hussey: If you like. I can see it's an unfashionable line to take, but for better or worse, I believe it is part of the British character to have a monarchy. Take that away, huh, what are you left with?
John Birt: An egalitarian, modern republic?
Duke Hussey: But not Britain.
John Birt: A new Britain.
Duke Hussey: A different Britain. Not Great Britain. It's the same with the BBC. Take away the BBC, and what are you left with? A country, but not Britain. In that way, the two institutions, Crown and BBC, are inherently intertwined. Reflected, incidentally, in the fact that we exist thanks to a royal charter.

John Birt: You see the monarchy as part of the architecture of this country.
Duke Hussey: I do.
John Birt: But more and more people have grown to see it simply as part of the furniture. Something they've grown up with but not something that can't be rearranged. Thrown out, if need be, or replaced. And the same goes for the BBC. Poll after poll show that people are crying out for change from the post-war era into something much more--

Duke Hussey: To a crass, commercial, satellite era, controlled by Rupert Murdoch with limitless choice and a thousand different channels, all offering rubbish?

Martin Bashir: I guarantee she will talk to someone if not us. Ask yourself how you would feel if this went out on... CBS. Or ABC. Or ITV. Or Channel 4.
John Birt: Still, we'll be giving a platform to a very hurt, very unstable woman. Who clearly wants to inflict significant damage on the monarchy.
Steve Hewlett: In the end, it's going to be your call, John...

A Tougher Nut and a Note on File

Young Sheldon 6×7

Georgie: This is nice.
Mandy: Yep. But it's not a date. Just dinner.
Georgie: Right. For two people having a baby.

Adult Sheldon: I was on a mission. All I had to do was turn to the power of the Internet for help. Unfortunately in 1992, that power had a long way to go... I do kind of miss that sound.

Georgie: Well, my meemaw likes to say that every baby brings a little luck.

Georgie: You know, it doesn't necessarily have to be a bad thing. My mom got pregnant with me before she and my dad got married.
Jim McAllister: So you're gonna marry my daughter?
Georgie: Well, if she'd stop saying "No."

Sheldon: These message boards are so frustrating. You have to post what you're looking for, then hope someone responds, and then hope you see the reply before they sell it to someone named Sucka MC.

Mandy: That's none of your business.
Georgie: Our baby's gonna be their grandkid.
Mandy: So?
Georgie: So we're gonna need free babysitters.
Meemaw: He's got you on that one.

George: So, Jim, your daughter is just lovely.
Jim: Oh, thanks. And, uh, your son seems... brave.
George: Brave, dumb, it's a coin toss.

Mary: Maybe we could have everyone over here for dinner...
George: Mary, when has that ever worked?
Mary: Food is healing, George. You should know.
George: Hey!
Mary: What? I'm just lightening the mood.

Sheldon: So, as you can see on the chart on page 34, the amount of time spent searching for grants would be cut by 80%. Do you see what this could do for the scientific community?
President Hagemeyer: Yes. We could charge an access fee to every university on the planet, and I can retire on a yacht in the Bahamas.
Sheldon: You're missing the point.
President Hagemeyer: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Uh, good for science. I love it. So, our next step is we get legal involved and start drawing up the contracts.
Sheldon: Shouldn't we build a working prototype first to prove it's viable?
President Hagemeyer: Well, do you think it's viable?
Sheldon: I do.
President Hagemeyer: Well, that's good enough for me. I'll call legal.
Sheldon: Wait, what should I do?
President Hagemeyer: Uh... Here's a dollar. Go get yourself a Yoo-hoo on me.

Spock: In that case, I have little choice but to sample your beans.

Spock: I'm afraid I overshot the mark by one level.
McCoy: Nobody's perfect.

Sybok: What you fear... is the unknown. The people of your planet, once believed their world was flat. Columbus proved it was round. They said the sound barrier could never be broken. It was broken. They said warp speed, could not be achieved. The Great Barrier is the ultimate expression of this universal fear. It's an extension of personal fear.

McCoy: Jim, try to be open about this.
Kirk: About what? That I've made the wrong choices in my life? That I turned left when I should have turned right? I know what my weaknesses are. I don't need Sybok to take me on a tour of them.
McCoy: If you'd just unbend and allow yourself...
Kirk: And be brainwashed by this con man?
McCoy: I was wrong. This con man took away my pain.
Kirk: Damn it, Bones, you're a doctor. You know that pain and guilt can't be taken away with the wave of a magic wand. They're the things we carry with us, the things that make us who we are. If we lose them, we lose ourselves. I don't want my pain taken away. I need my pain!

Kirk: Excuse me. I'd just like to ask a question. What does God need with a starship?

Spock: Please, Captain, not in front of the Klingons.

Kirk: Cosmic thoughts, gentlemen?

Prince William: What religion?
Prince Charles: Church of England. Which you'll one day be head of.

Princess Diana: I remember visiting the Badshee Mosque.
Hasnat Khan: Badshahi.
Princess Diana: Badshahi. And sitting primly on my little cushion. And my gorgeous, chic headscarf which they gave me to wear.
Hasnat Khan: Dupatta.
Princess Diana: Dupatta. And listening to all the imams talking about interfaith harmony, thinking how happy I could be there if I found myself a nice, handsome Pakistani husband...
Hasnat Khan: It's a nice idea in theory. In practice, you might find traditional Pakistani values a little challenging.
Princess Diana: You think the family I married into is any different? I was instructed to dress modestly. speak in a low voice, and walk one pace behind my husband and address him always as "sir." I was discouraged from expressing opinions or having an education. I had to make a vow that I was a virgin before being considered fit to marry him.

Martin Bashir: ... But would they give you control?
Princess Diana: They might not want to, but I'm good at all that.
Martin Bashir: We would definitely give you control. And you'd be protected by the best brand name in the world when it comes to journalistic integrity. The BBC.

Princess Diana: I'm worried you think I'm this... huge thing. This big, glamorous, celestial thing to be scared of.

Martin Bashir: There's an Urdu proverb. Jitne muh utni baatein. "The more mouths, the more talk."

Princess Diana: You don't know what it means to me. To be understood. And finally have someone on my side. For so long, I've wanted people to know the truth about what it's been like to be part of this family. The sheer loneliness of it. But... I didn't know who I could tell. Or who I could trust.
Martin Bashir: You can trust me. And I promise I will protect you every step of the way...

Queen Elizabeth II: I am curious to hear your impressions of Mr. Yeltsin.
John Major: When the coup was launched, he could easily have compromised with the plotters, tried to make a deal with them, but he never wavered, and the people love him for it. That said, I'm not certain I've seen him sober yet.
Queen Elizabeth II: I thought you had spent several days in his company.
John Major: I did.
Queen Elizabeth II: He can't have been drunk all that time.
John Major: I think he might have been. Not least because I think I may have been.

John Major: Once you get used to the table slamming and the profanity... he's straightforward and likable. And it turns out... Mr. Yeltsin is something of an Anglophile.
Queen Elizabeth II: Really?

Boris Yeltsin: Your Majesty. Like to know a secret about the Russian people?
Queen Elizabeth II: Oh, please.
Boris Yeltsin: In our heart of hearts, we are all still monarchists. Even at the height of Stalin's purges, when a Soviet citizen tells a story... we start by saying not "once upon a time...", but "in the good tsarist times..."
Queen Elizabeth II: To the good tsarist times!
Boris Yeltsin: To your health, Comrade!

Boris Yeltsin: We all know the truth. It was in this house that the Romanovs' deaths were sealed. Not the Kremlin. She should be careful. Or she will end up with a bayonet up her arse too.
Queen Elizabeth II: What did he say?
Boris Yeltsin's Interpreter: How thrilled he is to be here.
Queen Elizabeth II: Ah. He's very kind.
Boris Yeltsin: And call this a palace? We have shithouses in St. Petersburg that are bigger.

Queen Elizabeth II: I'm told the best way to identify and authenticate the remains is through DNA. And it turns out, the best, the only place in the world for bone DNA sequencing is here. In England.

Queen Elizabeth II: Apparently, because of the age of the bones, they can only use a particular kind of DNA that passes through the maternal line.
Prince Philip: Mitochondrial.
Queen Elizabeth II: Oh, you knew that?
Prince Philip: Yes.
Queen Elizabeth II: How?
Prince Philip: I read.
Queen Elizabeth II: Mmm.

Prince Philip: Oh, give it time. The great Russian bear is taking its first steps after years in captivity and suffering. Bound to be dysfunction.

Prince Philip: I've been busy.
Queen Elizabeth II: Clearly.
Prince Philip: Exploring, among other things, the grotesque injustices visited upon my relatives by your relatives.
Queen Elizabeth II: Let's not get proprietorial about relatives.
Prince Philip: And reminding myself not only how much I gained but how much I gave up when I married you.
Queen Elizabeth II: Such as?
Prince Philip: My career. My autonomy. My faith. You might recall I was born...
Queen Elizabeth II: Honestly, a convention of genealogists couldn't work out what you were born.
Prince Philip: I was born Orthodox. Just one of our many differences.
Queen Elizabeth II: How else are we different?
Prince Philip: After 47 years of marriage, we might ask ourselves, how are we still alike? We've got different interests. Different passions. Different churches. I'm more energetic.
Queen Elizabeth II: More restless.
Prince Philip: More curious. Your desire for calm, for stability, for silence, not to question, not to probe, not to...
Queen Elizabeth II: Provoke.
Prince Philip: ...interrogate, has sometimes left me...
Queen Elizabeth II: What?
Prince Philip: Lonely.

John Major: I believe Yeltsin is sincere in his desire for democracy. One just wishes he led with greater...
Queen Elizabeth II: Sobriety?
John Major: Authority. Reports out of Russia suggest the landscape is dangerously unstable. And the worry is it will result in the need for hard-line leadership again, and we will be back to square one.
Queen Elizabeth II: Hmm. Except... I prefer to think of square one with Russia as a state of friendship, not enmity. One forgets our two nations, thanks in part to family ties, have been more successful as allies than enemies. Seen like that, the revolution and Cold War are a blip in an otherwise long and happy marriage.

Queen Elizabeth II: Forty-seven years. And counting. You and Mrs. Major?
John Major: Uh... Uh... Twenty-four years this year.
Queen Elizabeth II: We must all be doing something right... What do you suppose that is?
John Major: Mmm... One of the most memorable accounts of a long, successful marriage comes from Dostoevsky's wife, Anna. She and Fyodor were, she said, of... contrasting character. Different temperaments. Entirely opposing views, yet they never tried to change one another. Nor interfere with the other's soul. This, she believed, enabled her and her husband to live in harmony.
Queen Elizabeth II: By having nothing whatsoever in common?
John Major: Hmm. The key to a happy marriage, it seems.

Rest in Peace

The Walking Dead 11×24

Lydia: That's just what happens. You know, people die. Cities fall. And things just don't work out. People tell me they do, but they don't.

Eugene: I have, uh... Well, it was gonna be a surprise. But in all my research on child-rearing, I stumbled upon a great many scientific essay that outlined the benefits of teaching infants to swim. It improves cognitive function, builds muscle, and, uh... confidence. Not that there will be any deficit in this tyke since you have it in spades. Which means it's in her, too. I can't wait for summer. Can you?

Daryl: You built this place to be like the old world. That was the fuckin' problem.

Daryl: We got one enemy. We ain't the walkin' dead.

Pamela: It's not easy having so many lives in your hands. There are decisions you'll have to make that are ugly. How do you pick who does the jobs no one wants? Who gets the nicer house?
Carol: We've already had to make an ugly decision. We kept you alive.

Gabriel: Receive her into your arms of mercy, into the blessed rest of everlasting peace and into the glorious company of the saints and light. May her soul and the soul of all those departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

Judith: Uncle Daryl?
Daryl: Yeah?
Judith: You deserve a happy ending, too.

Daryl: I'll be back.

— Consignee Grimes! You have been located and are instructed to surrender! Remain in place and put your hands up!

— Come on, Rick. It's like he told you, there's no escape for the living.

Rick: Remember what I said.
Michonne: It's what he said. Hold it to your heart. It's true. Forever.

Good Luck to You, Leo Grande (2022)

Leo: Hey, Nancy?
Nancy: Yes?
Leo: We're gonna have a great time.

Leo: For you.
Nancy: Thanks very much.
Leo: To being empirically sexy.
Nancy: Yes. I'll drink to that.

Leo: Shall we just sit and chat for a bit?
Nancy: Oh no, I don't want to do that. I don't think we'd have very much in common.
Leo: You might be surprised.
Nancy: I am very rarely surprised. I like to plan things properly, specifically in order to avoid being surprised, if I'm honest.
Leo: Fine, but I hope I can surprise you anyway.
Nancy: N... No, I don't want anything like that.
Leo: Anything like what?
Nancy: You know, anything perverted.

Nancy: But what if you don't fancy the person? I mean, you can't force yourself, surely, if you don't.
Leo: There's always something to fancy.
Nancy: No, there isn't.
Leo: There is.

Nancy: Not all mothers are good.
Leo: Well, I wouldn't know. I've only had one.
Nancy: Yeah, we're all stuck with whatever we get, aren't we? Parents and children alike.

Nancy: So, I've made a list of things that I'd like to get through.
Leo: Oh, that sounds sexy.
Nancy: Don't mock me. I'm a teacher. Old habits die hard.

Nancy: I have always quite liked my calves. They're not completely awful. I can hear my mother... "Vanity is a weakness, dear."
Leo: It's not vain to enjoy your body. To love it. But I know that voice in your head, the one that talks shit at you. I have one too.

Nancy: I want to play at something else. I want to play at feeling young again. I want that feeling back. That feeling of... having it all before me.
Leo: You want to be 16 again?
Nancy: No, I don't want to be 16 again! Being 16's bloody awful. I want the feeling of being 16 again. That power... God, I didn't know I had it.

Nancy: You are very good at this whole business, you know. I hope you know. People should tell you.
Leo: Thank you. That's nice to hear.
Nancy: It's a sort of mysterious gift you have.
Leo: It's not so mysterious. I just make the effort. And I like you, so it's easy.
Nancy: See, see? You always know the right thing to say when to make the move and all that.
Leo: You learn to read people.
Nancy: I'm not sure I ever have.
Leo: You have to want to first.
Nancy: Yeah, I probably don't want to enough to put in the work.
Leo: I just pay attention.

Nancy: Leo, my name, my real name is Susan Robinson. Such a boring name, isn't it?
Leo: Mrs Robinson. Hmm. That's cute.

Nancy: I've never done anything interesting or remarkable in my life. Um, this is it. I always obeyed all the rules fell in line. I never drank too much, never overshadowed my husband at parties. I was always the designated driver. Ate my five a day. Even before they were called "five a day." And I always, always answer my phone when it rings.

The Job

The Office 3×23

Dwight Schrute: I am going to be your new boss. It is my greatest dream come true. Welcome to the Hotel Hell. Check-in time is now. Checkout time is never.

Michael Scott: No. No, no, no. I'll tell you this, it is not because of the boob job. Excuse me, boob enhancement. That would be shallow. And this is the opposite of shallow. This is emotionally magnificent.

Pam Beesly: I'm happy for him. I hope he gets the job. I really just want him to be happy. And I know that sounds cliche, and I know saying it sounds cliche sounds cliche. Maybe I'm being cliche. I don't care because I am what I am.

Michael Scott: So I guess we're getting back together.
Pam Beesly: What happened?
Michael Scott: Your advice was good, but Jan's was bigger.

Michael Scott: Two weeks ago, I was in the worst relationship of my life. She treated me poorly, we didn't connect, I was miserable. Now, I'm in the best relationship of my life with the same woman. Love is a mystery.

Dwight Schrute: Who's ready to work?

Dwight Schrute: I want you to be assistant regional manager.
Pam Beesly: Really?
Dwight Schrute: Well, in a sense. Although, publicly, I am going to retain the assistant regional manager position.
Pam Beesly: You will be your own assistant.
Dwight Schrute: Correct. I need someone I can trust.

Pam Beesly: So you would be the regional manager and the assistant regional manager, Andy is your number two. I would be the secret assistant regional manager.
Dwight Schrute: Let's call it secret assistant to the regional manager. Do you accept?
Pam Beesly: Absolutely I do.... I learned from Jim, if Dwight ever asks you if you accept something secret, you reply, "Absolutely I do."

David Wallace: So, let me ask you a question right off the bat, what do you think are your greatest strengths as a manager?
Michael Scott: Why don't I tell you what my greatest weaknesses are? I work too hard, I care too much, and sometimes I can be too invested in my job.
David Wallace: Okay. And your strengths?
Michael Scott: Well, my weaknesses are actually strengths.

Dwight Schrute: This is a Schrute Buck. When you have done something good, you will receive one Schrute Buck. One thousand Schrute Bucks equals an extra five minutes for lunch.

Dwight Schrute: You have earned one Schrute Buck.
Stanley Hudson: I don't want it.
Dwight Schrute: Then you have been deducted 50 Schrute Bucks.
Stanley Hudson: Make it 100.
Dwight Schrute: Well... Don't you want to earn Schrute Bucks?
Stanley Hudson: No. In fact, I'll give you a billion Stanley Nickels if you never talk to me again.
Pam Beesly: What's the ratio of Stanley Nickels to Schrute Bucks?
Stanley Hudson: The same as the ratio of unicorns to leprechauns.

Michael Scott: I respectfully withdraw my name from consideration. Do you accept my withdrawal?

Michael Scott: I'm back and I am never, ever, going to leave. I am going nowhere. This place is like the hospital where I was born, my house, my old age home and my graveyard for my bones.

Pam Beesly: I'm sorry. What was the question?

Drowning Women

The Flight Attendant 2×5

Shane Evans: You sound crazy, but doesn't mean you're wrong.

Cassie Bowden: This stuff makes me look insane, okay? This is... this is nuts. "Narcissistic delusions, "borderline sociopathic tendencies?" Come on! "Needs constant praise." That's probably... That's probably true. But that's not me.

Shane Evans: ...stealing CIA files is a felony. They will take you away. They will put you in cuffs. They will cut the bangs off.
Cassie Bowden: I didn't steal anything, okay? I just documented a picture in an envelope on a desk.

Cassie Bowden: Jenny, listen. Don't drink because of a man. All right? And then when you find out that man is horrible, don't drink then, either. Okay?

Cassie Bowden: Let me tell you something. I want you... I want you to listen to me. Sobriety is about the journey, not the destination.

Annie Mouradian: It's just a fucking ring!
Max Park: Yeah, you're right. It's just a ring. It's a shiny rock overvalued by capitalism. But I picked it out after looking for months, and when you opened the box, and I saw your face. I knew, I just knew I got it right. I got it fucking right.

Brenda: Lived my whole life here, I can count on one hand the times I've gone to the beach, so thanks for the text message.

Brenda: Even when you have a year, the disease waits for you and picks up right where you left off.

Brenda: That next drink is like having sex with a gorilla. You're not done until your gorilla is.

Brenda: None of this works without rigorous honesty, which means you tell the truth even when it's easier to lie.

Cassie Bowden: So, now I'm just back at square one?
Brenda: Cassie, the point is you never left square one. You built your recovery on a house of cards. And it fell over. That's what a house of cards does. And until you take that first step and admit that you're powerless over the dark parts of yourself, you just keep knocking down cards.

Beach Games

The Office 3×22

David Wallace: Michael? I am calling to see if you would come down and interview for a job we have opening up in corporate. ....
Michael Scott: Wow. I wish I had prepared something to say.
David Wallace: That's not necessary.
May God guide you in your quest.
Michael Scott: David Wallace: .... Yes.

Michael Scott: What happens to a company if somebody takes a boss away?.. I will answer your question with a question. It's like what happens to a chicken when you take its head away. It dies. Unless you find a new head. I need to see which one of these people have the skills to be a chicken head.

Pam Beesly: You want me to write down people's indefinable qualities?
Michael Scott: I want you to write down everything that people are doing all day and then type it up in a way that is helpful. All right?

Pam Beesly: I have the most boring job in the office. So why wouldn't I have the most boring job on Beach Day?

Michael Scott: We are all participating in mandatory fun activities. Funtivities. And there is a special secret prize for the winner.
Dwight Schrute: Yes! Funtivities!! I knew it wasn't just a trip to the beach!!
Michael Scott: Okay, you know what? Your enthusiasm's turning people off.

Michael Scott: Jim Halpert. Pros: Smart, cool, good-looking. Remind you of anybody you know?.. Cons: Not a hard worker. I can spend all day on a project, and he will finish the same project in half an hour. So that should tell you something...

Michael Scott: Dwight is an obvious candidate for my job. He has the best sales record in the office. He loves the work. He is, however, an idiot.

Michael Scott: Stanley, your team name?
Stanley Hudson: I don't care what you call my team.
Michael Scott: Then I will name your team the Red Team.
Stanley Hudson: No, the Blue Team.

Michael Scott: I am also considering Stanley because of all the good that black people have done for America.

Stanley Hudson: I would rather work for an upturned broom with a bucket for a head than work for somebody else in this office besides myself. Game on.

Michael Scott: I knew that finding a successor would be difficult. I did not know that it would be impossible.

Michael Scott: Who's ahead in points?
Pam Beesly: I think they're even. At various times you gave Jim 10 points, Dwight a gold star, and Stanley a thumbs-up. And I don't really know how to compare those units.
Michael Scott: Well, check to see if there is a conversion chart in that notebook.
Pam Beesly: I really doubt it, Michael.
Michael Scott: Please, just check!

Michael Scott: You know what? If I had to pick my replacement based on today, it would be Mr. Outside Hire.
Angela Martin: Or Mrs. Outside Hire.
Michael Scott: Yeah. 'True.'

The Way Ahead

The Crown 5×5

Prince Charles: In any other professional sphere, I'd be at the peak of my powers. Instead, what am I? I'm just a... useless ornament, stuck in a waiting room, gathering dust.

Prince Charles: You claim to want to refresh the monarchy. Well, what I'm proposing is precisely that. A new welfare monarchy that's less about... mystery and magic and divine right, and more about our practical role in today's society.

Prince Charles: ...the difficulty stems, I think, from when... when we in the monarchy set ourselves up as a sort of ideal. As husbands or as wives or as... as parents. And very often, the truth is very far from that. The question people have to ask themselves is what do they want in their leaders? Do they want someone who errs, but who learns from their mistakes, who grows, who... who recognizes the need for change, who has a vision? Or someone who is content to continue making the same mistakes and to keep things as they are?

John Major: Reaction to the interview is divided between those that feel the prince has shown himself unfit to be king and should have had the good grace to stay silent, and those that have been... pleasantly surprised by what they saw and heard.
     Interestingly, it was his desire to be defender of faith in general, to... Jews, Muslims, Catholics, Sikhs, Hindus, rather than Defender of the Faith that has won most favor. His words having undeniably connected with whole constituencies that are traditionally left unreached by the monarchy.
Queen Elizabeth II: It is not a monarch's role to campaign or chase constituencies like a politician because the Crown itself is a unifying symbol. It binds together a kingdom of four nations and a worldwide, multi-racial Commonwealth. Symbolically.
     Charles is frustrated because the Crown has many of the functions of an inanimate object. He prefers to be animate. But there's a danger in that. One can end up undoing more than doing.

Princess Anne: For years, I've doubted Charles. That he wasn't strong enough. Tough enough. But look what he's just come through. First that phone recording, subsequent humiliation. Then that interview and subsequent criticism. And it hasn't broken him. The opposite.
     He might be as mad as everyone thinks, but he's not as weak as everyone thinks. The Charles I saw today was strong. Confident. Mature. Not only does he have what it takes for the job, in some ways, he's already begun. ...
     For the past year, possibly more, Charles has been slowly but surely setting up his own court at St James's. His own Camelot. His own advisors, his own... modern, progressive agenda. He knows one day he will be King Charles III. And if we want to know what that will look and feel like... well, he's starting to show us.

Donnie Brasco (1997)

Dake: Today we're in the "take the win and move on" game.
Bryan: ... Is that what being a boss does to you? Like when Sonny Black gets upped in Brasco?

Lefty: When I introduce you... I'm gonna say, "This is a friend of mine." That means you're a connected guy. If I said instead, "This is a friend of ours," that would mean you're a made guy. "Friend of mine." "Friend of ours."
Donnie: What do I call you?
Lefty: Keep your mouth shut about me.

Lefty: What are you doing? Wise guy don't carry his money in a wallet. Wise guy carries money in a roll. Like this. Beaner on the outside. Like that.

Lefty: That mustache-- You gotta get rid of that mustache. That's against the rules. And get a pair of pants. This ain't a fucking rodeo. Dress like I dress.

Lefty: This is my family. More, even, than my own family.
Donnie: Is that right? I don't got a family.
Lefty: You don't?
Donnie: I'm an orphan. I grew up in an orphanage.
Lefty: Ain't the question. Even if you had a family. If this is your family, then this is your family. You know what I'm saying?

Lefty: This is Donnie, a friend of mine.

Lefty: I went on the record with you. You know what that means?
Donnie: I think I do.
Lefty: You ain't got no fucking idea. Nobody can touch you now. I'm your man. Jesus Christ couldn't touch you, because I represent you. So keep your nose clean... be a good earner, follow the rules... and, who knows, maybe one day when they open the books... you get straightened out. Become a wise guy, a made guy.

Donnie: You just got done saying you and Sonny Black are friends--
Lefty: Donnie, I got sent for. In our thing, you get sent for, you go in alive, you come out dead... and it's your best friend that does it.

Donnie: Call me Donnie. I don't want to get confused.

Lefty: You think you can trust Sonny Black. You can't trust Sonny Black. Sonny Black is one big, fat, fucking... snake in the--
Donnie: Snake in the grass.
Lefty: You can't say that now. Sonny Black is a skipper. You don't open your mouth about him.

FBI Technician: Can I ask you something? What's "Forget about it"? What is that?
Donnie: "Forget about it" is like... if you agree with someone. Like, "Raquel Welch is one great piece of ass." "Forget about it." But then, if you disagree, like, "A Lincoln is better than a Cadillac"? But then if something is the greatest thing in the world, like... "Those peppers! Forget about it!" You know? It's also like saying, "Go to hell." Like, "Paulie, you got a one-inch pecker." And Paulie says, "Forget about it." Sometimes it just means forget about it.

Sonny: That Trafficante is something else.
Donnie: Is that right? Is he a good old guy?
Sonny: Forget about it. That motherfucker had this all to himselffor 50 years... and it's still a cow town. This could be like Vegas down here.

Donnie: I don't want to step on nobody's toes. If it wasn't for Lefty--
Sonny: That's it. Look. You belong to me now. That's it.

Sonny: Santo, this is Donnie. He's a friend of ours.

Donnie: Nicky didn't have anything to do with it.
Lefty: You don't mention his name. That's the rules.
Donnie: Fuck the rules.
Lefty: That's the rules, Donnie.
Donnie: Say his name. Come on. Come on. Nicky. Say "Nicky." You can't say his name because you know I'm right. Say it! Say his name!
Lefty: Nicky was a rat because Sonny Black says he was a rat. Who the fuck am I? Who am I? I'm a spoke on a wheel. And so was he and so are you.

Maggie: You're becoming like them. ... Why do you hate me when I love you so much?
Donnie: You think I hate you? I don't hate you. This job is eating me alive. I can't breathe anymore. If I come out, this guy Lefty dies. They'll kill him because he vouched for me, because he stood up for me. I live with that every day. That's the same thing as if I put the bullet in his head myself. I spent all these years trying to be the good guy in the white hat. For what? For nothing. I'm not becoming like them. I am them.

Lefty: If Donnie calls... tell him... if it was gonna be anyone, I'm glad it was him. All right?

FBI Director: To FBI-agent Joseph D. Pistone, in grateful recognition of meritorial service, allow me to present this medal and this check for 500 dollars. Congratulations again, son.

Annus Horribilis

The Crown 5×4

Prince Andrew: But there's another one now. A financial adviser, John Bryan.
Queen Elizabeth II: Oh, for heaven's sake.
Prince Andrew: With... more photographs to come.
Queen Elizabeth II: Of what?
Prince Andrew: You don't want to know. In Saint-Tropez. Doing something unmentionable.
Queen Elizabeth II: You're right. I don't want to know.
Prince Andrew: Sucking Sarah's toes, Mummy.

Prince Andrew: People tell me I put my foot in it from time to time. At least I don't put it in someone's mouth. Can you imagine? Her actual foot. If he was that hungry, he could've ordered a sandwich.
Queen Elizabeth II: Or some sole.
Prince Andrew: Sole! That's brilliant.

Prince Andrew: It's... It's just the sheer humiliation of it all. Which is why, this time, I'm left with no option but to, well, mention the D-word.
Queen Elizabeth II: Diplomacy? Détente? Is it asking too much to say "duty"?
Prince Andrew: Divorce, Mummy.

Prince Andrew: She's had enough. And I don't blame her. I blame us.
Queen Elizabeth II: What?
Prince Andrew: We all knew what we were getting into when we brought Sarah into the family. Everyone was so pro. You more than anyone.
Queen Elizabeth II: Yes.
Prince Andrew: She was a breath of fresh air. Modern, relatable, buckets of fun. That laugh. So infectious.
Queen Elizabeth II: Yes.
Prince Andrew: But that's what we do in this family. Destroy anyone that's different. Not at the beginning. First, we tell ourselves how good they'll be for the system. They'll be our salvation, our secret weapon. Make us look more modern. More normal. More... human. And we learn the same painful lessons yet again. That no one with any character, originality, spark, wit, and flare has a place in this system.

Queen Elizabeth II: At my coronation, I took an oath that you will one day take at yours to maintain the laws of God. And God's law is that marriage is for life. And while it is expected for the monarch to be married and produce an heir, being happily married is a preference rather than a requirement.
Prince Charles: You also took a solemn promise to maintain and protect the Crown. Diana won't rest until she's blown the whole thing up. Is that what you want?

Prince Charles: Look at the rates of family breakdown out there, and then look at us. Margaret, divorced. Anne, divorced. Andrew, humiliated and... and heading for divorce. Me, trapped and dreaming of divorce. And you talk about moral examples. If we were an... ordinary family and social services came to visit, they'd have thrown us into care and you into jail!

Queen Elizabeth II: How did it come to this? Our generation was brought up to believe that marriage was an ideal, and divorce was a problem. This generation...

Princess Margaret: You don't think I have reason to burn down my sister's home?

Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother: You know the three questions we always ask ourselves. Does it need saying? Does it need saying now? Does it need saying by me? And to describe it in this way, annus horribilis? People will remark on it. Not just because of the theatrical deviation into Latin.
Queen Elizabeth II: What's your point?
Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother: My point, since we're speaking Latin now, is tempus fugit. Time passes. People will move on and forget. Make a statement like this, no one will forget.

Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother: Apology? That word shouldn't be in your vocabulary. Monarchy is the only part of the constitution with an element of the divine. When you wear the crown, you are transfigured. Apologizing sullies not just your dignity but God's, whose will it is that you are who you are. I'm not sure if there's anything to be gained by that.
Prince Philip: Yes, there is. Her peace of mind. She's done God's will about as immaculately as any human for the past 40 years. She's earned the right to say anything she likes. And it's our job to support her. Unconditionally.
