Golda (2023)

Golda Meir: Why do you trust this man?
Zvi Zamir: He knows everything and he says war is coming.
Golda Meir: Yeah, well, of course, war is coming, but when?

Golda Meir: Without Dayan's support, there can be no mobilization and he is unconvinced that the threat is imminent. If he resigns, the government falls. It's that simple. And then the Arabs will most certainly attack.

Golda Meir: I suggest we mobilize 120,000 troops. Better to be safe than sorry, huh?
David 'Dado' Elazar: A hundred and twenty thousand men is not enough.
Moshe Dayan: It is.
David 'Dado' Elazar: It's not.
Moshe Dayan: It is.
David 'Dado' Elazar: It is not. We'll be outnumbered seven to one.
Golda Meir: The decision has been made. One hundred and twenty thousand. Thank you, gentlemen.

David 'Dado' Elazar: Four hours early...

— The Egyptians are shelling across the canal.
— Syrian jets are bombing the Golan.
— The Egyptians have fired a Kelt cruise missile at Tel Aviv.
Golda Meir: I'm not going to get under the table, but don't let me stop you.

Golda Meir: You all have a plan. Go back to your ministries and put it into effect with calm precision. Thank you, gentlemen. Moshe, we place our trust in you.

Golda Meir: We've got trouble with the neighbors again.
Henry Kissinger: I'm sorry to hear that. Uh, could I ask who fired the first shot?

Henry Kissinger: I'll start to apply diplomatic pressure.
Golda Meir: Please do. But be clear on one point. We will keep fighting until every Egyptian soldier has been driven back across the canal. They will gain nothing by force. If they want their land back, they must recognize the sovereign state of Israel.
Henry Kissinger: I understand.
Golda Meir: Thank you, Henry.
Henry Kissinger: Good luck, Golda.

Moshe Dayan: We lost. We lost the north. It's Armageddon. We lost the north. I alerted Dimona. The nuclear weapon. Yes, that's what I did.

Moshe Dayan: This is another Masada, Golda.

Golda Meir: The enemy has tasted blood. There is no reason for them to stop now. This is 1948 again. We are fighting for our lives.

Golda Meir: Sadat got his victory.
Moshe Dayan: Yes.
Golda Meir: But... does he know it?

Golda Meir: If the Arabs defeat us with Soviet weapons, what message does that send to the Free World, Henry?

Golda Meir: So, Arik. You want to cross the canal with 50 tanks and 2,000 men and take on two divisions. I believe that's 600 tanks and 30,000 men. Is that your plan?

Zvi Zamir: The Egyptians will renew their offensive in two days' time. The 4th and the 21st Division will cross the canal and join the attack.
Arik Sharon: If they crossed, Cairo will be undefended. No one could be that stupid.
Zvi Zamir: The Egyptians are about to make a terrible mistake. I suggest we let them make it.
Moshe Dayan: It would seem a ridiculous decision.
Golda Meir: No. I don't think so. Sadat is the first Arab leader to defeat the Jews in battle. So he's feeling euphoric. Invincible. Do you think a few sand dunes along the Suez Canal will seem enough when the gates of Jerusalem are beckoning? Knowing when you've lost is easy. It's knowing when you've won that's hard. Hmm! We'll wait for them to cross. Thank you, gentlemen.

Golda Meir: Arik. You'll get your chance. And for that, they will make you Prime Minister. Just remember, all political careers end in failure.

Moshe Dayan: I think we should think seriously about accepting a ceasefire.
Golda Meir: We are facing an unholy alliance between the Soviets and the Arabs that must be defeated. If our enemies stop fearing us, they will attack again and again and again.

Henry Kissinger: You know, they jammed the communication equipment on my plane.
Golda Meir: Hmm, of course. Those Russians. They brought nothing but misery to the world.
Henry Kissinger: Normally, I would agree with you. Of course, there is Tolstoy.
Golda Meir: Hmm!
Henry Kissinger: And Dostoyevsky.
Golda Meir: Misery on every page.

Henry Kissinger: I think it's important that you remember that I am first an American, second, I am Secretary of State, and third, I am a Jew.
Golda Meir: You forget that in Israel, we read from right to left.

Henry Kissinger: The Saudis have cut off our oil and crude has jumped from four dollars a barrel to 12, so... You can see that the American people will pay a high price for supporting Israel. Which is why we need the ceasefire agreement.

Golda Meir: I thought we were friends, Henry...
Henry Kissinger: We will always protect Israel.
Golda Meir: Like you did in '48? We had to get our weapons from Stalin. Stalin! Our survival is not in your gift. If we have to, we will fight alone.

Golda Meir: Let me tell you about the Russians, Henry. When I was a child in Ukraine, at Christmas time, my father would board up the windows of our house... To protect us from Cossacks who would get drunk and attack Jews. They would beat Jews to death in the street for fun. My father would hide us in the cellar. And we'd stay silent, hoping the killers would pass us by. My father's face, Henry. I will never forget that look. All he wanted was to protect his children. I am not that little girl hiding in the cellar!
Henry Kissinger: So, now you're going to fight with the Russians too, huh?
Golda Meir: You must choose, Henry. Side with me or I will create an army of orphans and widows.
Henry Kissinger: This is not the way to...
Golda Meir: I will slaughter them all. Whose side are you on? You must choose.

David 'Dado' Elazar: I have a message from Sadat. He's offering direct talks. And an exchange of POWs. He has given the Red Cross a list of names. He referred to you as the Prime Minister of Israel, Golda.
Golda Meir: He used that word, "Israel"?
David 'Dado' Elazar: Yes. Israel. He's recognizing Israel.

Golda Meir: Why?
Zvi Zamir: Who likes to be wrong?
Golda Meir: The listening system must be kept secret. No one must know about this.
Zvi Zamir: You will take the blame?.. I will defend your memory. I promise you that.

Golda Meir: My gut told me that war was coming. But I ignored it. I should've mobilized that night. All those boys who died, I will carry the pain of that to my grave... Please, don't write that down.

The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon 1×2

Laurent: Monsieur Daryl, what kind of death would you prefer?
Daryl: How about a quiet one?

Daryl: Just tell him the truth. He's gotta learn sometime.
Isabelle: You don't have children, do you? The truth can wait.

Daryl: Father Daryl? Really?

Lou: Father Daryl, would you lead us in a prayer of thanks?
Daryl: You mean, like, uh, saying grace?
Lou: Yes.
Daryl: Yeah. Sure. Um, Lord... I'm sure you have your reasons for turning the whole world upside-down. Maybe we deserve it for being so mean to each other. We probably do deserve it. But not tonight. No. Tonight is good. And if this isn't good enough for you, I don't know what is. Amen.

Isabelle: I feel sorry for them. Not to know what the world was like before.
Daryl: You can't miss what you never had.

Laurent: What makes me so special, anyway?

Poker Face 1×2

Jed: I think there's a limited amount of luck in the universe. They give it out when you're born and you either get it or you don't.
Damian: Luck is something that we created to make sense of the things that we can't change.

Charlie Cale: Laundry day.
Marge: Bleeding through your shirt day. Gunshot wound day.
Charlie Cale: Mind your own business day.

Marge: Just because you're wearing your underwear inside out doesn't mean it's really clean. That trick only works once. 'Cause of, there's only two sides to the underwear.

Marge: Have you lost a lot of blood?
Charlie Cale: Well, I got plenty of blood. Thanks.
Marge: If you take ibuprofen when you're bleeding, you'll just bleed more.
Charlie Cale: All right, WebMD. I'm going to leave now. Please do not follow me.

Marge: The pain is in your mind.
Charlie Cale: Lady, you've got no idea.

Charlie Cale: So, you get bored out here alone?
Marge: I got my books on tape on CD. Buddhism for Beginners. Chapter one. All existence is suffering, and the source of suffering is attachment...

Marge: Bambi.
Charlie Cale: So not Marge?
Marge: First time I cried, I was watching Bambi.
Charlie Cale: Oh.

Marge: Trust me, I don't exist.
Charlie Cale: So there's nothing I could find about you online.
Marge: The cops couldn't find you. I don't know, PI, spooks, nothing. No phones, no bank accounts. Fake IDs if you can get them, but better to stick where people aren't asking. Never staying in the same place for too long, never looking back.

Jamie Fraser: Brought ye a present, Sassenach.
Claire Fraser: Oh? What is it? Geese or ducks this time?
Jamie Fraser: No. It's a book.
Claire Fraser: A book?
Jamie Fraser: Aye. Words printed on paper. Ye'll recall the sort of thing.

Jamie Fraser: Sassenach. I hadna realized, but, uh, ye need spectacles.
Claire Fraser: That's nonsense. I can see perfectly well.
Jamie Fraser: Well, then read this.
Claire Fraser: How am I supposed to read that? It's terribly small type.
Jamie Fraser: It's 12-point Caslon. I will say, the... the leading's terrible. The gutters are half of what they should be. And even so, ye need spectacles, a nighean.
Claire Fraser: We'll be blind as bats before this war is over.

Brianna Mackenzie: Do you take a little water?
William 'Buck' MacKenzie: If it was the rotgut I drank in America, I'd throw it down. Whiskey worth drinking, a little water opens the flavor. But ye ken that, don't ye? Though ye're not Scottish.
Brianna Mackenzie: Well I am, on my father's side. His name is... was James Fraser, of Broch Tuarach.
William 'Buck' MacKenzie: Are you another, then? Like your husband and me. Another... whatever it is?

Brianna Mackenzie: What?
William 'Buck' MacKenzie: Smilin' a bit too much in yer direction, methinks.
Brianna Mackenzie: All right. That's how people treat each other these days. It's called kindness. You might give it a try.
William 'Buck' MacKenzie: I'm only sayin', I'm no fool.

Roger Mackenzie: I didn't know whether to tell you because I... I don't even know if it's correct. But I saw the year of your death. Do you want to know?
William 'Buck' MacKenzie: No. But I'd like ye to tell me anyway.

Jamie Fraser: Will ye kiss me, Claire?
Claire Fraser: Always.

Lt Sandy Hammond: Who do you think has a better bosom? Mrs. Lind or the baroness?

William Ransom: It is unlikely I will ever see her again.
Lt Sandy Hammond: It won't matter if you tell me her name, then, will it?
William Ransom: It's Rachel, but she's...

General Fraser: If General Burgoyne can convince us that we are victorious, then we have prevailed.
William Ransom: Lieutenant Hammond is dead.
General Fraser: An honorable death. And I lived to tell the tale. "They send forth men to battle, but no such men return," so says Aeschylus. You're a different man now...
William Ransom: "They send forth men to battle, but no such men return. / And home, to claim their welcome, come the ashes in an urn."

Toby Flenderson: I actually have a degree in social work. I mean, I know a lot of people would just ask a few standard questions and tick off a few boxes, but I've got a chance to do some good here.
Michael Scott: I know what you wanna ask me. "Did your mom ever see you naked?"
Toby Flenderson: We can do this with more privacy.
Michael Scott: So you can molest me?

Toby Flenderson: I'd like you to imagine a place where you feel very peaceful... For me, it's the walk from the yogurt shop to my car, after I drop my daughter off on Sunday afternoons.

Phyllis Lapin: I... I'm glad Michael's getting help. He has a lot of issues, and he's stupid.

Gabe Lewis: Pam, I don't want to accuse you of anything. I just want everything to be back the way it's supposed to be. Can you just admit... Admit...
Pam Beesly: Admit what?
Gabe Lewis: I don't want to say it.
Pam Beesly: Say it!
Gabe Lewis: Mm, mm-mm.
Pam Beesly: Say that I'm lying, or say I have the job! Make a definitive statement, Gabe.
Gabe Lewis: Statements of such a nature, while they have their place, are overused in a competitive business environment.
Pam Beesly: Great! Well, let me know if you need a new chair, or anything that an office administrator can handle.
Gabe Lewis: Will do... Could I get one of those nameplates that says "Gabe Lewis"?
Pam Beesly: For sure! Anything else?

Dead Man's Hand

Poker Face 1×1

Natalie Hill: Why do you listen to that stuff?
Charlie Cale: Why do I listen to the news?
Natalie Hill: Yeah, what's the point? You can't do anything about it. Every day, you're mad about something you can't do anything about. We're just better off with music, don't you think?
Charlie Cale: I'm doing something about it right now... Look, I don't care. Come at me, you Russian pervos. Time's up on that shit. Done. So, handled.

Charlie Cale: I don't know what version of the story you got.
Sterling Frost Jr.: Let's start there then. Once upon a time in Denver, milquetoast collection of the best poker players in central Colorado met at a Fairfield Inn suite off I-25. Well, not a barn burner, just a run-of-the-mill Thursday night mid-stakes ring game. A young woman from out of town was at the table. She was cute. She livened up the room. She had plenty of cash so they let her play. Three hours later, she mopped the floor with each and every one of them, which happens. But this had been happening. Previous week, in Cheyenne. Week before, in Rapid City. Same young woman cutting a haphazard path across the middle of the country. Never in any big games, never in corporate-owned casinos, but always the same result. She didn't lose. Word spread quick. 'Cause as you know, gamblers talk.

Sterling Frost Jr.: As far as anyone could tell, she was playing straight. No wires, no shills, and yet she played with an almost supernatural infallibility. Like she was seeing through the cards.

Sterling Frost Jr.: ... my dad figured out what she was doing. Even when he figured it out, he couldn't believe it. It was impossible. It was insane. But there was no other explanation.

Sterling Frost Jr.: You can just tell.
Charlie Cale: Just that something is off. That's the best way to describe it. I can just tell.
Sterling Frost Jr.: When anyone is lying? Hundred percent of the time? I'm going to touch my nose.
Charlie Cale: No, it doesn't work like that. I'm not a soothsayer. I can't predict the future. There's nothing mystical about it. Just if someone is intentionally lying, that's it.

Charlie Cale: I've been rich.
Sterling Frost Jr.: Yeah, how was it?
Charlie Cale: Easier than being broke, harder than doing just fine.
Sterling Frost Jr.: With due respect, you've had money, never been rich.

Charlie Cale: God. It is crazy the things that people stick up their asses.
Natalie Hill: Yeah. What are you reading?
Charlie Cale: "Ten craziest things people have stuck up their asses."

Sterling Frost Jr.: So, what's it like always knowing the truth?
Charlie Cale: Yeah, no. I only know if something is a lie. And outside of poker, less useful than you'd think. 'Cause everyone, they lie constantly. It's like birds chirping, people lying. Just once you tune into it, it's fucking everywhere all the time. And they usually don't lie to cover up some deep, dark secret, but about the stupid, meaningless shit, you know? So the real trick of it is to figure out why. Why someone is lying.

Charlie Cale: If I pull out of this, would you have to kill me?

Charlie Cale: There's something off here. There's a lie. I just... I need to find it.

Cliff Legrand: Are you on coke?
Charlie Cale: No. Coffee. So I thought this'll be a good thing. I won't have a beer and be a dumbass. I'll have coffee, because that's for thinking. But I never have coffee, and now I'm spazzing out.

Charlie Cale: I asked, "Everything okay?" You said, "Yeah." You were lying... Well, that sounded more intense than I meant it to. I wanted to just casually ask about it. But I've had coffee.

Sterling Frost Jr.: She's sharp, but she doesn't know anything.
Cliff Legrand: No, no, she's more than sharp. She's a human lie detector. And she's asking questions like she thinks something's up.

Charlie Cale: Say bullshit if it isn't true. Look me in the eye and say it.

Charlie Cale: A wise man once told me, you want to hurt someone, you hit 'em where it hurts.

Nepotism

The Office 7×1

Michael Scott: I suppose summer had to end sometime. It's sad, though, because I had a great summer. I got West Nile virus. Lost a ton of weight. Then I went back to the Lake. I stepped on a piece of glass in the parking lot... Which hurt. That got infected, even though I peed on it. Saw Inception. Or at least I dreamt I did...

Erin Hannon: Gabe is awesome. He has accomplished so much career-wise and height-wise. Thank God he's my boss because I would not have said yes to a first date If I didn't have to. But... It's been great.

Pam Beesly: What are you doing?!
Dwight Schrute: From now on, if you're hot, sit on an ice pack.
Kevin Malone: Well, what if you're cold?
Dwight Schrute: Pbbbt! Like you'd ever be cold, Kevin. Stop asking me hypothetical questions. I'm too busy.

Dwight Schrute: Dwight Schrute, star salesman, beet farmer. Bed and breakfast proprietor. Aspiring freelance bodyguard. Add to that list owner of this building. Then burn the list.

Darryl Philbin: Well, summer, I, um, blew out my knee playing softball. Ended up watching CNN most of the time. I don't know how we're gonna get out of Afghanistan.

Jim Halpert: Wow, that's a lot of keys.
Dwight Schrute: The bigger the key chain, the more powerful the man.
Jim Halpert: That's right. The janitor said that. By the way, the raccoons are back.

Michael Scott: He's my nephew... Luke is my nephew.
Oscar Martinez: Michael, that's nepotism. Luke is getting special treatment because he's your nephew.
Michael Scott: Yes, exactly. That is a very nice way of putting it, Oscar. Mixing family and business is a beautiful thing.
Stanley Hudson: What's wrong with a level playing field?
Michael Scott: Do think they should have had open auditions for the band Hanson? What if no one named Hanson showed up? That wouldn't even make sense. Or what if they just hired the littlest kid and a 50-year-old guy who was a murderer? Really safe.
Jim Halpert: Oh, man, so many points being made...
Creed Bratton: I couldn't care less about nepotism. But I'm loving the debate. Great minds battling it out. And I've got a front row seat.

Michael Scott: God, when he needed help on earth, who did he hire? Jesus Christ, his son.
Oscar Martinez: But you're comparing you and Luke to God and Jesus.
Michael Scott: No! No. I'm just saying, why does God get to do something that I don't?

Oscar Martinez: We're talking about Luke, who happens to be terrible.
Michael Scott: Well, then, why aren't you bugging me to fire everybody who's bad? You just want me to fire Luke. That's reverse nepotism. He should not be punished because he is related to me and bad at what he does!

Kelly Kapoor: I would just like to say something off of what Darryl said about the level playing field. That is actually a zoning issue... So thank you.

Michael Scott: Guys, look. I don't want you to treat him like anyone else in the office. I just want you to treat him like my nephew.

Jo Bennett: Well, I got a nephew too. But he don't work for me. You know why? 'cause he's a screw-up. He can swim in my pool, but he can't come in my house.
Michael Scott: Well, this office is my pool. And my house is my house. And I just want my nephew to work in my pool.

You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah (2023)

Stacy Friedman: All right, mishpachah, please say hello to our newest and most fabulous adult, Stacy Friedman! Your Bat Mitzvah is the first day of your adult life, and everyone knows an iconic adult life hinges on how it starts.

Stacy Friedman: Oh my God, this is important! I'm becoming a freaking woman, everyone!
Danny Friedman: Okay, woman. All you should worry about right now is your mitzvah project and practicing your Haftarah.
Stacy Friedman: Mm-hmm. That's not important! I mean, it is important to you and other old people and God and stuff. But to me, the party is important.

Danny Friedman: Listen, when I got Bar Mitzvahed, we had a party in Grandma's basement. We all split, like, this giant matzo ball. That was the fun. You know what the theme was? Being Jewish.

Danny Friedman: What's the matter? Something bugging you? It'll be fine. Whatever it is... Here. Don't tell your mother. Have some coffee.

Stacy Friedman: Oh! And one more thing... Lydia Rodriguez Katz, you are so not invited to my Bat Mitzvah.

Stacy Friedman: Dear God, Stacy Friedman here. And what the hell? ...

Rabbi Rebecca: Okay, today we're going to be talking about tikkun olam. Does anyone know what that means?
— If God exists, then how do you explain climate change?
Rabbi Rebecca: It's actually an amazing question. Um...
— Yeah, and why can't straight people get on gay TikTok?
Rabbi Rebecca: It's way funnier.
— And if God loves me, then why is he always giving me so many zits.
— And why does Apple keep changing their chargers?
— And why did my dad's doctor operate on the wrong shoulder?
— And why do I have to share a room with my grandma?
Rabbi Rebecca: Okay, okay, okay. I think I can explain zits and climate change and gay TikTok... Musically!

Danny Friedman: Hey. We don't slam doors in this house.
Stacy Friedman: Dad, I need a break.
Danny Friedman: Well, welcome to being an adult. And welcome to being Jewish. We don't get breaks.

Danny Friedman: You hate me?!
Stacy Friedman: I do. You're a jerk, and you won't let me have a mojito bar.
Danny Friedman: That's why we fought the Nazis? So you could have a mojito bar?

Where the Waters Meet

Outlander 7×6

Captain Richardson: How do you think wars are won, Lieutenant?
William Ransom: With victory on the battlefield, sir.
Captain Richardson: Without a doubt. But how do commanders know where that battlefield will be? How do they know the size and strength of their opponent? What their opponent's weaknesses are, how to exploit those weaknesses... Intelligence. And my many years of experience have taught me that the best intelligence comes from men the enemy trusts.
William Ransom: So those men are spies.
Captain Richardson: Eyes and ears for the British cause.

Captain Richardson: Do you know what else my years of experience have taught me, Lieutenant?
William Ransom: No, sir.
Captain Richardson: War is long. No doubt an opportunity for redemption will present itself.
William Ransom: I will be ready when it does, sir. You have my word.

Roger Mackenzie: That's as good a guess as any.
Brianna Mackenzie: Well, engineers prefer the term "working hypothesis."
Roger Mackenzie: It's as good a working hypothesis as any. I need this in my Hitchhiker's Guide to Time Travel.
Brianna Mackenzie: Wait a minute. That's what you're calling it? Like the BBC Radio comedy?
Roger Mackenzie: Not officially, but sometimes to myself, for fun.

Young Ian: Do you think the British Army will hang their prisoners?
Jamie Fraser: Aye. They dinna see them as prisoners of war. That would mean acknowledging the sovereignty of America. Instead, they see us as traitors to the crown.

Claire Fraser: May I ask, how did you know who I was?
Lieutenant Sandy Hammond: He said you'd be the curly-wig giving orders like a sergeant major.

Colonel Daniel Morgan: You do that a-purpose?
Jamie Fraser: Aye. I always shoot 'em through the eye. Best place if you dinna want to spoil the meat.

Claire Fraser: The Battle of Saratoga... Jamie, I don't remember much of the details, but this is a turning point for the American cause. The battle that draws the French into the war.
Jamie Fraser: Then you ken why I can't walk away.
Claire Fraser: I knew you wouldn't. But if you're going to fight, then I'm glad that you've accepted Colonel Morgan's offer.
Jamie Fraser: Aye? Why is that?
Claire Fraser: By their nature, snipers, that's what we call riflemen in the future, they fight from a distance. No soldier is safe, but the further you are from combat, the better.

Claire Fraser: I wonder, why is it that women don't make wars?
Jamie Fraser: You're not made for it, Sassenach.
Claire Fraser: You don't think women are just as capable as men at fighting for what they believe in?
Jamie Fraser: No. No, that's not what I mean. ... It's just that women take so much more wi' 'em when you go. When a man dies, it's only him. And one is much like another. Aye, a family needs a man to feed them, protect them. Any decent man can do it. A woman takes a life wi' her when she goes. A woman is possibility.
Claire Fraser: If you think one man is just like another, then I can't agree with you.

Jamie Fraser: I may be less afraid for myself, I'm more reluctant to kill young men who havena yet lived their lives.
Claire Fraser: Surely you're not going to assess the ages of those shooting at you.
Jamie Fraser: Difficult.
Claire Fraser: I sincerely hope you don't intend to let some whippersnapper kill you just because he hasn't lived a life as full as yours yet.
Jamie Fraser: No. I'll kill them. I'll just mind it more.

Whistleblower

The Office 6×26

Michael Scott: There is nothing wrong, nor will there ever be wrong, with any Sabre printers. Case closed. Michael Scott, as seen on TV.

Kevin Malone: Jo, I think that I know what happened.
Jo Bennett: I'm not sure you do, teddy bear.
Kevin Malone: Well, now I think I might not.

Michael Scott: Anyone who talked to the press, please raise your hand. ... If you say anything, so help me God, I'll break off the temples of your glasses and stick them in your eye sockets.

Andy Bernard: So unfair. Even if I thought that our printers killed baby seals, I would not be a whistleblower. The Bernards, for generations, have silenced whistleblowers. It's how we made all our money. Woody Guthrie wrote a song about us.
     Old Mister Bernard
     Old Mister Bernard
     Who have you silenced today?

Jo Bennett: When Mama was working as a prison guard, and something went missing, she'd ask one question, "What do we do when we find the guilty party?" And if they said, "Come down on them with that swift hammer of justice," innocent. A clear conscience don't need no mercy. But if they said, "Officer Bessie, well, they may have had a reason." Blah, blah, blah, blah... Well, nine times out of 10, that's the anus they checked.

Jo Bennett: Okay, Dwight--
Dwight Schrute: Hold that thought. I don't want to waste your time and I wouldn't dare waste mine. I didn't do it. Now, I don't know exactly who did it, but I have a list right here. You should fire the following people.

Michael Scott: Is there something that you would like to say to me?
Andy Bernard: About talking to the press? Uh, I do... No... I didn't do that. Okay? Didn't do it.
Michael Scott: I don't believe you.
Andy Bernard: I swear on the graves of my parents who aren't even dead yet.
Michael Scott: That's a little much.
Andy Bernard: All right, all right.
Michael Scott: I don't care. That's how much, I swear.

Jo Bennett: And we didn't find anything on your computer.
Toby Flenderson: Good.
Jo Bennett: Except this...
Toby Flenderson: Wow. This is just a mystery novel that I've been working on.
Jo Bennett: I know what it is. I skimmed the first chapter. I'm just curious, why would a man who hates people want to have a relationship with a maid?
Toby Flenderson: I don't know...
Jo Bennett: The way I look at it, there's only one of two reasons. He knows a secret about her that she doesn't know herself. Or he wants to use her services to mop up after a murder.
Toby Flenderson: ... Yes! Write your own damn novel.

Michael Scott: Oh, God. My mind is going a mile an hour.
Pam Beesly: That fast?

Michael Scott: Two whistleblowers. Two.

Michael Scott: It's okay, she's cool. She also whistle-blew.

Kelly Kapoor: Of course I'm the leak. I think I tweeted it. I can't control what I say to people. I spend the whole day talking. I mean, I video chat, I skype, I text, I tweet, I phone, I woof.

Ryan Howard: Woof is a site that I'm launching to be the last word in social networking. For just $12.99 a month, Woof links up all your communication portals, so you are always within reach. It's part of the dog pack, as I call it.

Michael Scott: You know what I think we should do? We make them come to work. And we work them, and we make them sit next to all the people they screwed over. And we pay them, but we make them feel like they did something really wrong. The one question I have is, "Do we give them a Christmas bonus?" I say yes, it's Christmas, but right after, they're back into the thick of it.

Jo Bennett: Michael Scott... What do you know?
Michael Scott: What? It doesn't matter what I know.
Jo Bennett: If it doesn't matter, then tell me.
Michael Scott: Why?
Jo Bennett: Because I wanna deal with it the way I deal with it.
Michael Scott: Well, deal with this.

Jo Bennett: Honey, you don't seem like your normal self...
Michael Scott: Well, I'm going through a little bit of a rough patch.
Jo Bennett: Mama Jo knew there was something up!
Michael Scott: The whole year, actually. My favorite restaurant closed down.
Jo Bennett: Oh. I hate that.
Michael Scott: And my new favorite restaurant sucks. I bought a video camera last year and I was looking at the tapes, and there were only, like, 12 minutes that I felt was worth taping. The whole year... And most of that was just birds in my condo complex.

Jo Bennett: When I was growing up, there was nothing better than being a big old business tycoon. And I thought I'd break that glass ceiling and be a hero to all those little girls out there. And they'd make a Barbie out of me... I hate that I sell cheap printers. I do. But if I have to go out there in front of the press and make one of them public apology recalls, I mean, that's all I'll ever be remembered for. Nobody will want to play with my Barbie.
Michael Scott: Well, you know, I would be willing... Under the right circumstances, to do that for you.
Jo Bennett: Oh, honey, surely you don't want that.
Michael Scott: I surely do, and don't call me honey.

Jo Bennett: I hope your rough patch ends soon.
Michael Scott: Thanks. Today helped.
Jo Bennett: Well, give a shout if I can brighten your life.
Michael Scott: Okay. Hey, you could transfer Holly back from Nashua.
Jo Bennett: Let me see what I can do...

Every Day

Good Omens 2. Chapter 6

Nina: Will you just answer a simple question?
Aziraphale: If I hear one, of course.
Nina: What is happening? Why is everything so weird? This all started last week when the power went out, didn't it?
Aziraphale: Three questions, none of them simple. But to answer your last one, no. This all started a very long time ago. But... also, yes.

Aziraphale: I have to tell you, you can all leave now, and nobody will be hurt...
Shax: You'll be hurt.

Muriel: It's all confidential. I can't show it to you. I mean, I couldn't open it if I wanted to. I don't have clearance. You'd have to be a throne or a dominion, or above-- How did you do that?
Crowley: I haven't always been a demon, and they never change their passwords.

Nina: Why do they keep blowing up?
Aziraphale: Well, it's all a bit complicated. The circle, it's a gateway, but if you step into it and you aren't prepared, it can discorporate you completely.
Nina: Does what you say make sense in your head?

Gabriel: Anyway, Armageddon the sequel, that's a nah. What's next on the agenda?

Gabriel: I see. You're casting me down to Hell. Well, I accept my fate. Sometimes an angel just has to say, "Guys, enough." Even though...
The Metatron: No speeches, Gabriel. You are not going to Hell. For one prince of Heaven to be cast into the outer darkness makes a good story. For it to happen twice, makes it look like there is some kind of institutional problem.

Nina: What did you just do?
Aziraphale: I think... I may have just started a war.

Crowley: You... You blew up your halo? Ooh, Hell won't like that.

Gabriel: Why did you wanna meet me here?
Beelzebub: Well, if we're gonna have background talks, they can't be in either of our home territories.
Gabriel: And what do we need to discuss?
Beelzebub: Arma-bloody-geddon. That was a complete and utter pain in the ass.

Gabriel: I have a proposal to make. Instead of Armageddon, what about... no Armageddon?
Beelzebub: An interesting proposal. No Armageddon. They won't like that, though. Most of my demons live for Armageddon, if you can call that living.
Gabriel: Well, my angels too. But you can't always get what you... live for.
Beelzebub: Advantages to no Armageddon?
Gabriel: We keep the status quo, static and, um, quo-ey.

Gabriel: Two goblets of your intoxicating liquor, please. And, uh...
Beelzebub: Packet of crisps.
Bartender: Very good, sir. Which liquor would that be?
Gabriel: Whichever one it is you humans usually orally consume.
Bartender: Two pints of regular, then.

Aziraphale: I've had quite enough of this! You will speak one at a time.

Michael: Um, Gabriel, Beelzebub, what do you want?
Gabriel: I would like... better clothes, and I would like to be with Beelzebub. Wherever Beelzebub is... is my Heaven.
Beelzebub: Mm-hmm. And where you are, my sweet, is forever my Hell.
Crowley: You know, Alpha Centauri's nice... Always wanted to go there. Couple of decent planets. No nightlife to speak of.

The Metatron: Do people ever ask for death?
Nina: What?
The Metatron: Well, the name of your establishment, "Give Me Coffee or Give Me Death." I assume they always ask for coffee.
Nina: They don't ever ask for death, no.
The Metatron: No, I don't suppose they do... So predictable.

Michael: Um, and who are you?
The Metatron: For Heaven's sake. And I mean that most literally. You don't know me? Well, uh, what about you, Demon? Do you know me?
Crowley: Oh, I know you... Last time I saw you, you were a big, floating giant head, man.
Aziraphale: Oh! The Metatron.

The Metatron: It's just you and me, Aziraphale, eh? I think we need to have a bit of a chinwag, don't you?
Aziraphale: I don't believe there's anything left to be said. I've made my position quite clear.
The Metatron: Yeah, well, I brought you a coffee from the shop. It's an oat milk latte with a hefty jigger of almond syrup.
Aziraphale: You brought me a coffee?
The Metatron: Are you going to take it?
Aziraphale: Shall I?
The Metatron: Drink it? Of course. I've ingested things in my time, you know.

Crowley: When Aziraphale does come back, I think we need a little us time. After all this, I think we are going for an extremely alcoholic breakfast at the Ritz...

Crowley: We talk all the time! We've been talking for millions of years. Bla-bla-bla-bla-bla-bla-bla-bla-bla-bla. I say something brilliant, he says something unintentionally funny back. It's great.

The Metatron: What's that you're holding, Muriel?
Muriel: A book. It's called a book. I'm "reading" a book.

Crowley: Look, I suppose, um... I've got something to say. I know we ought to be talking about... It's probably best if I start off doing all the talking, you do all the listening, 'cause if I don't start talking now, I won't ever start talking, right? Yes, so...
Aziraphale: What's that lovely human expression? Oh, yes! Hold that thought.

Crowley: Oh, we're better than that, you're better than that, Angel! You don't need them. I certainly don't need them! Look, they asked me back to Hell, I said no. I'm not gonna be joining their team. Neither should you.
Aziraphale: But... Well, obviously you said no to Hell, you're the bad guys. But Heaven... Well, it's the side of truth, of light, of good...
Crowley: When Heaven ends life here on Earth, it'll be just as dead as if Hell ended it. Tell me you said no.

Aziraphale: If I'm in charge... I can make a difference.

Aziraphale: Come with me... to Heaven. I'll run it, you can be my second in command. We can make a difference.

Crowley: You can't leave this bookshop!
Aziraphale: Oh, Crowley. Nothing lasts forever.
Crowley: ... No. No, I don't suppose it does... Good luck.

Crowley: Listen. Do you hear that?
Aziraphale: .... I don't hear anything.
Crowley: That's the point. No nightingales.

The Metatron: Well, I can't think of a better angel to wrap things up, and to set into motion the next step in the great plan.
Aziraphale: Um, yes, you mentioned that. Can I know what it is?
The Metatron: Well, it's something we need an angel of your talents to direct. An angel who is familiar with how they do things on Earth.
Aziraphale: Ah.
The Metatron: We call it the Second Coming.

Elevator Voice: Doors closing. Going up.

Roman J. Israel, Esq. (2017)

Roman J. Israel, Esq.: Each one of us is greater than the worst thing we've ever done.

Roman J. Israel, Esq.: I'll take over. Ahem.
Lynn Jackson: No, you're not capable of continuing the practice. ...
Roman J. Israel, Esq.: Right. B-b-but I'll take over, because in the architecture of this firm, I am a pillar.
Lynn Jackson: Yes, and, Roman, I'd hoped to reward you for that.
Roman J. Israel, Esq.: Hope don't get the job done.
Lynn Jackson: What does that mean?
Roman J. Israel, Esq.: That means hope don't get the job done.
Lynn Jackson: Is it ego or delusion? Honestly, I... I never paid enough attention to you. This place runs more like a charity service than a law firm. It's run a deficit for years. We... his family, can no longer afford it. We're clearing the books.

George Pierce: William taught a term at Loyola. That's where we met. I was, uh, top of my class.
Roman J. Israel, Esq.: Potential's a bitch.

Roman J. Israel, Esq.: If I was freed from criminal work, I can get back to my roots. The bigger battles, organized mass action supported by sweeping legal challenges. With my skill and, uh, experience I'm-I'm quite certain I can get this organization right back in line with its core beliefs.
Maya Alston: This organization?
Roman J. Israel, Esq.: Yes.
Maya Alston: Yeah. I-I wasn't aware that we, um, had strayed.
Roman J. Israel, Esq.: Well, I'm not talking about nickel-and-dime reformism. I'm talking about igniting a sustained mass movement, supported by rule change and injunctive relief. And I could get results using class-action tactics. I'm talking about a return to using activist litigation creatively, defensively, counter-offensively.

Roman J. Israel, Esq.: As for my personal life, at a certain point I had to decide whether to have a family or career. I couldn't do both. So I stayed on the front lines. Now, I'm offering at this time... to work, exclusively... as your, um... long-haul, three-dimensional, revolutionary, in-house, full-time, paid advocate.

Jeff: What a freak.
Maya Alston: You stand on his shoulders.

Felicity Ellerbee: What's "Esquire" mean?
Roman J. Israel, Esq.: Uh, it's a designation, uh, in the legal arena. It's like a title of dignity. Slightly above gentleman, below knight.

George Pierce: I sent you an e-mail today to come to my office.
Roman J. Israel, Esq.: I'm sorry, but when people send e-mails, they think it goes straight to your brain.

Roman J. Israel, Esq.: So what I'm offering to you right out here now is a chance to partner with me on a piece of groundbreaking litigation I've been working on for over seven years now. Inside this case is arguably the most important legal brief in modern legal history. A sweeping federal challenge that could yield nothing less than a grand new era of social reform.

Roman J. Israel, Esq.: The Constitution guarantees us a right to a fair trial, but there can't be any fairness if 95 percent of all cases never get heard. Criminal cases never get heard by a jury or a judge.
     I am building a wholly original class-action lawsuit ... aimed at the heart of plea-bargain reform. I'm talking about reforming a system where prosecutors are trying to pull sentences out of their hat. Where guilt or innocence is being completely replaced by fear of having your day in court. Where people are being forced, George, to plead guilty under the threat of overly harsh and coercive sentences.
     It's a job for a legend, or someone who wants to be one.

Roman J. Israel, Esq.: Look at you. Just like I was... Just starting out your fight against the dominant tendencies of our society. Well, you better get ready for the commitment it takes to lead a resistant lifestyle. You better start forging the armor to withstand the temptation and the financial and emotional toll. Because when it comes to social injustice and judicial indifference and institutional racism and outright goddamn greed the overwhelming majority of the people in this country just don't give a damn.

Roman J. Israel, Esq.: Can't you see? It's clear as crystal. We filed the wrong brief in the wrong court to the wrong judge.

Roman J. Israel, Esq.: Freedom is something you can only give yourself.

Roman J. Israel, Esq.: I'm tired of doing the impossible for the ungrateful. I now have, uh, more... practical concerns.

Realtor: Well, what do you think?
Roman J. Israel, Esq.: I think that whatever we're chasing... you got it all here.
Realtor: I'm sorry?
Roman J. Israel, Esq.: When can I move in?

Maya Alston: Well, I was calling to see if you wanted to go for dinner.
Roman J. Israel, Esq.: With me? With you?
Maya Alston: I'm confused.
Roman J. Israel, Esq.: I... I'd like that. I'd like that. I'd like that, yeah. Um...
Maya Alston: Great.
Roman J. Israel, Esq.: Tonight? I mean... Tomorrow?
Maya Alston: Works for me.
Roman J. Israel, Esq.: It works for me. Tonight works for me, but I mean... All right. I'll... I... Tomorrow. I'll do tomorrow.

Roman J. Israel, Esq.: The real enemies aren't on the outside. They're within.

Roman J. Israel, Esq.: It's me, George. See, I didn't see it before because I never experienced the other side. I'm the defendant... and the plaintiff simultaneously. I file against myself, I represent myself, I convict myself, hereby expanding the full scope of the legal desert because the judgment's built in. The only thing left is forgiveness, and I grant that to myself.

Roman J. Israel, Esq.: An act doesn't make the person guilty unless the mind is guilty as well.

Roman J. Israel, Esq.: I know you get it, George. You have such a tremendous future. It's so bright, I... I swear, it's... It's blinding.

Singapore

Outlander 7×5

Brianna Mackenzie: I know Fort Ticonderoga; my father took me there.
Roger Mackenzie: Aye. We could always scour the history books, see if there's any mention of them.
Brianna Mackenzie: Not that one. Maybe it's better we don't know...

William Ransom: But say a crime were committed against your lovely sister, Mr. Hunter, or against your brother, Miss Hunter. You would hold fast to your principles?
Dr. Denzell Hunter: We rely upon God's judgment alone.
William Ransom: Or the willingness of others to commit violence for you.
Dr. Denzell Hunter: I think we shall have to agree to disagree on this matter. We Quakers cannot be shaken from our beliefs. We tremble only before God and His word.

Claire Fraser: It reminds me of the Battle of Singapore, though the other way around. In World War II, the British were stationed there, and General Percival had his guns aimed at the sea, convinced that the surrounding jungles were too dangerous and dense to penetrate.
Jamie Fraser: And he was proved to be wrong?
Claire Fraser: The Japanese cut their way through the jungles and attacked his defenses at the weakest point, by land. And seeing is believing. Of course, by that point, it was too late.

Jemmy Mackenzie: I... got in trouble at school.
Roger Mackenzie: What for?
Jemmy: Tommy Reid said me and Mama and Mandy were all gonna burn in hell as papists.
Roger Mackenzie: Well, you know what to say to that.
Jemmy Mackenzie: "I'll see ye there." And I did, only I said it in the Gaelic. Miss Glendenning didn't like that. She grabbed me by the ear and said, "In this classroom, we speak English." She shook me, Da. And I cursed at her, one of Grandda's curses. So she called the headmaster, and he made me hold out my hands and gave me three with the belt. Am I in trouble?

Yabba Dabba Do Me

Lucifer 6×3

Ella Lopez: How far do you think a frog could fall and live?...

Lucifer: No, no, no, this is a terrible idea. Worst I've heard since some genius decided to cancel Bones.

Chloe: So, each one of these doors leads to a different hell loop?

Officer Sonya Harris: I'm looking for Amenadiel. Just... Amenadiel. Apparently that's it.
Amenadiel: That's me.
Officer Sonya Harris: That's your full name?
Amenadiel: God-given.

Lucifer: Uh, now, remember, every hell loop is different, so we could be in for anything...

Lucifer: Chloe, is my chin...
Chloe: Butt-like?
Lucifer: I was gonna say, "This amazing in real life." "Butt-like"?

Dan: I know what it feels like to be in pain and wanna hurt someone. But the person who gets hurt the most... it's always yourself.

Chloe: This isn't the store that we followed Jimmy into...
Lucifer: Hell loops are a mélange of nightmares and greatest hits. A touch of the surreal can do wonders for the torture.

Lucifer: I can't get you out of Hell. Only you can do that. I'm not even sure if you deserve to get out of here after what you've done. But... I now see the pain behind the terrible decisions that you made in life. Doesn't excuse them, but... I understand them now.

Lucifer: Ironically, we're in Hell, and finally I'm ready to be God.

The Chump

The Office 6×25

Michael Scott: God! You say radon is silent but deadly and then you expect me not to make farting noises with my mouth?

Michael Scott: You know what, we're not gonna die of radon, we're gonna die of boredom.

Michael Scott: And if I had a gun with two bullets, and I was in a room with Hitler, Bin Laden and Toby, I would shoot Toby twice.
Dwight Schrute: Okay, all right. You were being really funny and then you went too far.
Michael Scott: I would kill Bin Laden and then Toby.
Dwight Schrute: No. That's still...

Pam Beesly: Please, please! And if he makes a joke, just laugh it up no matter what, okay?

Jim Halpert: So, we're gonna say the most likely scenario is that Michael matured overnight?
Andy Bernard: It happened to Tom Hanks in Big.
Jim Halpert: Exactly. It happened in Big.

Michael Scott: I like Donna. Is it wrong to keep seeing her? Depends on who you ask. I mean, if you ask her husband or you took a random poll, yeah, it's wrong.
Meredith Palmer: That is something I would never do.
Michael Scott: Well, I think we all know what you're capable of, Meredith.
Meredith Palmer: Hey, I have never cheated on, been cheated on or been used to cheat with. I ask everyone in the room, "Are you in a relationship?"

Michael Scott: People, this is Scranton and many people consider that to be the Paris of northeastern Pennsylvania. And in Paris, it is rude for a woman to have less than four lovers.
Kelly Kapoor: Ugh! Ryan, I do not want you hanging out with Michael anymore.

Michael Scott: You know what? You know what? I am declaring a moment of silence right now. Ten minutes of silence honoring Michael Jackson. Just sit there and think about Michael Jackson.

Andy Bernard: For those of you unfamiliar with William Shakespeare, a cuckold is a man whose woman is cheating on him. I've lived the part. And let me tell you, I would so much rather play the part on stage.

Andy Bernard: So, here's the thing about infidelity--
Michael Scott: No, no. When are you people going to stop casting the first stone? I am not in the wrong here. I am the good guy. How does that work? Do you think this husband is a super sweet, nice guy? Do you think he's an angel? I don't think so. Why is his wife going off and having a little something-something with me? There has to be a problem with him.

Andy Bernard: Let's go check it out.
Michael Scott: I have work to do.
Andy Bernard: Really? I thought you were the boss...
Michael Scott: Let's go. I can't wait to see this jerk who is making me cheat on his wife. I should punch him in the nose for what he's making me do to her.

Gabe Lewis: I don't want to be the heavy here, but honestly, guys, this makes us all look bad.
Jim Halpert: Sorry about that.
Pam Beesly: So embarrassing.
Gabe Lewis: Good, okay, end of the dressing down. I just hate that part of the job, you know? The power dynamic.

Dwight Schrute: Are you warmed up?
Angela Martin: No.
Dwight Schrute: God, Angela, why is that always my responsibility?

Michael Scott: I'm a little bit emotional right now because I know that I absolutely made the right decision. At the end of the day, we have to do what's right. And it was either living with myself or being happy. And I picked... the former.

A Most Uncomfortable Woman

Outlander 7×4

Brianna Mackenzie: We have a working kitchen. We have flushing toilets. We're living the 20th century dream.

Claire Fraser: ... But eat your apple as well. You are going to be on a ship for three months.
Jamie Fraser: If you say so, Sassenach.
Claire Fraser: I do say so. How many women do you know who are my age who still have all their own teeth?
Jamie Fraser: Mm, well, I admit you're very well preserved for such an old crone.

Claire Fraser: You want to fight?
Jamie Fraser: Aye... But not for the ideal of freedom or liberty. Not for the sake of being on the winning side. But for you. For Bri and the wee lad and lass. For our family. Because I canna ask anyone to fight in my place.
Claire Fraser: If that isn't an ideal, I don't know what is.

Jamie Fraser: I've lost so much. Nothing is guaranteed. Not home, not family, nor law, nor life itself. But I do ken we willna lose this war. At the very least, I can promise victory.

Tom Christie: Does, uh... does Mr. Fraser know? I did not tell him the reason for my confession.
Claire Fraser: You mean, does he know about your... gallant feelings towards me?
Tom Christie: Mm.
Claire Fraser: Yes, he does. He's sympathetic towards you, knowing from experience what it's like to... To love me, as it were.

Tom Christie: The Lord does answer prayer, you know?
Claire Fraser: What did you pray for?
Tom Christie: Oh, you are a most uncomfortable woman.

Rachel Hunter: At the last yearly meeting of the Society of Friends, we all prayed on the matter of politics. We were advised that peace lay in reconciliation with Mother England. But the Spirit moved my brother to speak in favor of independence.
Lord William Ransom: You mean a rebellion.
Rachel Hunter: I do not. Liberty is a gift from God. Denny said we must endeavor to preserve it.

Buckets of Baggage

Lucifer 6×2

Chloe: Oh, God.
Lucifer: Not quite yet, but... That was something else.

Lucifer: Don't worry, I know just what I need to do... I need you to tell me what to do.
Linda: You need me to tell you what to do to be God?
Lucifer: Exactly. Well, you helped me with my troubles being the Devil. Why should the reverse be any different?
Linda: Thought I wasn't your therapist anymore.
Lucifer: And look at what's happened. The world has no God. Clearly I belong on this couch.

Linda: Okay, so what is the problem?
Lucifer: Well, I have seven billion problems and only love one.
Linda: Mm-hmm. What?
Lucifer: Well, in order to be God, apparently, I need to care about all the humans on the planet. An impossible feat, seeing as I find a large majority of the human race to be insufferable.

Linda: Well, being a good therapist is about taking your own opinions out of the equation. Listening without bias. Keeping your personal feelings to yourself.
Lucifer: Oh, I think I understand.
Linda: Probably not.
Lucifer: You don't care about your patients at all.
Linda: That's definitely not what I was saying.
Lucifer: So what you're saying is, I need to be able to help people that I don't care about. If I prove I can do that, then I'll prove I can be God.
Linda: Well, I suppose you've had worse ideas...

Lucifer: Fifteen months?! How can you even walk properly?

Ella: It's just really hard to trust someone after your last BF was an SK... Serial killer.

Lucifer: I am here to facilitate a love connection. I know you two have so much in common. Kate, you are a criminal, and Carol here catches criminals. So, see? Perfect.

Carol Corbett: Kate told us that she heard you and Fiona arguing on the phone...
Busty Bazoongas: Oh, we argued like trailer trash in a Walmart parking lot on Black Friday.

Busty Bazoongas: Everybody sees drag as this pinnacle of self-discovery, that once you've found this world, this life, that's it. You're supposed to be this fierce idol that's got it all figured out. Godlike. Almost. Owning oneself down to the last manicured nail. But confidence is a work in progress. I mean, when is anyone's chicken ever fully cooked? You know what I mean?

Busty Bazoongas: I think I was holding part of myself back 'cause I was afraid that... well, that if I put too much effort into being... it sounds stupid, a pretty queen... that people would laugh at me, and not in a good way. But if we're gonna change the world, and, hunty, we are... queens like me gotta work on facing all of our fears, and knowing we're enough.

Busty Bazoongas: Yes. I am Busty Bazoongas. But until I can look within and own that, I will never be...

Air (2023)

Sonny Vaccaro: I-I can't... just can't figure out why these kids want to take less money to sign for a rival shoe company. I mean, why would a kid from Baltimore want to wear German soccer shoes?
Howard White: Because Adidas is what's hot right now, man. The rappers are wearing them in the videos. The break-dancers are break-dancing up in the Bronx. They're on the floor breaking their ankles and their elbows for no reason. And these kids ain't cool unless they got Adidas on. And them some badass jogging suits, too. You got to admit we can't touch their jogging suits.

Howard White: Nike is a damn jogging company, man. Black people don't jog. You ain't gonna catch no Black person running 26 miles for no damn reason. Man, the cops probably pull you over thinking you done stole something.

Sonny Vaccaro: You know, I-I like the, uh... that new slogan, the one for the whole company that they're talking about.
Howard White: I don't like it. You know where it came from?
Sonny Vaccaro: No.
Howard White: That damn slogan came from a convict about to get executed in front of a firing squad, and they asked him, "What's your last words?"
Sonny Vaccaro: What? "Just do it"?

Sonny Vaccaro: Ah, kind of a fitting metaphor for the way basketball is viewed at this company.
Howard White: I know. "Nike. Just get the shit over with."
Sonny Vaccaro: What'd it say about me that I liked it?
Howard White: That says that you a fat middle-aged white guy that don't want to exercise.

Rob Strasser: So, Mr. Orwell was right. 1984 has been a tough year. Our sales are down, our growth is down, but this company is about who we really are when we are down for the count. Am I right, huh?

Sonny Vaccaro: You know he'll be miserable at Adidas. I mean, it's a shit show over there since Adolf died.
David Falk: Adi, Sonny. He went by Adi.
Sonny Vaccaro: His name was Adolf. I mean, the guy's name was literally Adolf.
David Falk: He was a good man.
Sonny Vaccaro: He kept the name.

David Falk: It's Adi. Adi Dassler. Adi-Das. Adidas. That's what it stands for.
Sonny Vaccaro: He was in the Hitler Youth.
David Falk: No, he wasn't. Don't say that.
Sonny Vaccaro: I saw a picture of him personally wearing a swastika. The guy had the haircut.
David Falk: We all have a past.
Sonny Vaccaro: Look, David, some of us have our past and some of us were Nazis. There's a line.
David Falk: Well, he's dead.

George Raveling: He just doesn't like the shoe.
Sonny Vaccaro: He never even worn the shoes.
George Raveling: He did say if somebody was to buy him a red Mercedes 380SL, he would sign a shoe contract for life with anybody. Except Nike. There's nothing cool about Nike. Even what it means, "Adidas": "All day I dream about sex." "Puma": "Please use my ass."
Sonny Vaccaro: That's not what it means.
George Raveling: "Nike" has no-no meaning.

Deloris Jordan: What should I ask you?
Sonny Vaccaro: Ask me why I'm in Wilmington, North Carolina.
Deloris Jordan: Why are you in Wilmington, North Carolina?
Sonny Vaccaro: Because I believe in your son. I believe he's different. And I believe you might be the only person on Earth who knows it. That's why I'm in Wilmington, North Carolina.

Peter Moore: To what do I owe the honor?
Sonny Vaccaro: I need a shoe, Pete.
Peter Moore: I would assume as much.
Sonny Vaccaro: I need the greatest basketball shoe that's ever been made.
Peter Moore: How long do we have?

Sonny Vaccaro: It has to be individual. Like, think of it like this. Uh, Converse are plain, ordinary shoes, right? Every player wears the same one. What we do with this one is, rather than have the athlete wear one of our shoes, we create the shoe around the athlete.
Peter Moore: So the shoe is a physical manifestation of the individual rather than the individual as emblem of the corporate entity?
Sonny Vaccaro: Something like that.

Peter Moore: The requirements are: speak as an individual, market to a mass audience and be the most beautiful shoe known to mankind.
Sonny Vaccaro: Yes.
Peter Moore: Form or function?
Sonny Vaccaro: Uh...
Peter Moore: Uh, something can be beautiful or it can be practical. Rarely both.
Sonny Vaccaro: Come up with something new.
Peter Moore: Humans have been wearing shoes for thousands of years, and the design has substantively changed once: when they differentiated between the right and the left shoe. That was 600 years ago.

Peter Moore: Beauty. Not function? You know what they say. Poetry only makes the world bearable. It's engineering that got us to the moon.

Sonny Vaccaro: They're j-just too white. Not enough color in there. I mean, the Bulls are red and black. Can you get more red in?
Peter Moore: They literally are not permitted to be a single additional percentage point of red.
Sonny Vaccaro: Is that true? What is the actual rule?
Peter Moore: 51% of the shoe has to be white. NBA is extremely strict about it. They'll fine him.
Sonny Vaccaro: They'll fine him?
Peter Moore: $5,000 a game.
Sonny Vaccaro: We're fucked.
Rob Strasser: .... What about more red? A lot more red. And what about if we just pay the fines? Make a commercial out of it. You know, it'll give us headlines. They're gonna fine Michael Jordan for being too colorful.

Peter Moore: Do you men think about basketball shoes often?
Sonny Vaccaro: I mostly think about basketball.
Rob Strasser: More marketing.
Peter Moore: Basketball shoes are the... central preoccupation of my life. I've had one persistent obsession that I've harbored and nurtured in hopes of making the perfect basketball shoe.

Rob Strasser: You know, Sonny, this doesn't work out, jobs are gone, checks are gone. You know that, right?
Sonny Vaccaro: Well, you'll get another job. What I do you can't put on a résumé.
Rob Strasser: I wouldn't worry about it. You're very, very convincing.
Sonny Vaccaro: Yeah. That's my job.
Rob Strasser: But I also know that sometimes people can be completely and totally wrong. Okay? You know, like-like somebody really sold the emperor on, "We should bomb Pearl Harbor," okay?
Sonny Vaccaro: Are you likening yourself to Hirohito?

Sonny Vaccaro: If we're gonna make it, w-we got to take risks.
Rob Strasser: Spoken like a man without a seven-year-old on Sunday afternoon.

Rob Strasser: A shoe is always just a shoe until someone steps into it.

Phil Knight: Okay. This team is good enough. You are all capable. And I believe in each one of you. Remember to focus on your breath. When you breathe in, know you're breathing in. When you breathe out, simply know you're breathing out. I'll see you in seven hours and 25 minutes.

Sonny Vaccaro: Just forget about the shoes. Forget about the money. You're gonna make enough money, it's not gonna matter. Money can buy you almost anything. It can't buy you immortality. That you have to earn.

Sonny Vaccaro: It's an American story, and that's why Americans are gonna love it. People are gonna build you up. God, are they going to. Because when you're great and new, we love you. Man, we'll build you into something that doesn't even exist. You're gonna change the fucking world. But you know what? Once they've built you as high as they possibly can, they're gonna tear you back down. It's the most predictable pattern. We build you into something that doesn't exist, and that means you have to try to be that thing. All day, every day. That's how it works. And we do it again and again and again.
     And I'm gonna tell you the truth. You're gonna be attacked, betrayed, exposed and humiliated. And you'll survive that...
     A lot of people can climb that mountain. It's the way down that breaks them. 'Cause that's the moment when you are truly alone. And what will you do then? Can you summon the will to fight on through all the pain and rise again?

Sonny Vaccaro: Who are you, Michael? That will be the defining question of your life. And I think you already know the answer. And that's why we're all here... A shoe is just a shoe until somebody steps into it. Then it has meaning. The rest of us just want a chance to touch that greatness. We need you in these shoes not so you have meaning in your life but so that we have meaning in ours.
     Everyone at this table will be forgotten as soon as our time here is up. Except for you. You're gonna be remembered forever, because some things are eternal.
     You're Michael Jordan, and your story is gonna make us want to fly.

Deloris Jordan: Now, we are willing to accept the deal and commit right away but with one minor provision...
Sonny Vaccaro: Name it.
Deloris Jordan: It's nothing, really. It's so obvious that its omission, I assume, from the term sheet was a clerical error.
Sonny Vaccaro: I'm sure it was.
Deloris Jordan: Michael will get a percentage of the revenue of the sale of each shoe that is sold.
Sonny Vaccaro: I'm sorry?!

Sonny Vaccaro: Mrs. Jordan, I... I understand what you're saying. I... I actually agree with you. But that's just not how it goes in this life. People like your son, people who work for a living, they don't let us own anything. We take the best we can get. ...

Deloris Jordan: Mr. Vaccaro, I agree that the business is unfair. It's unfair to my son. It's unfair to people like you. But every once in a while, someone comes along that's so extraordinary that it forces those reluctant to part with some of that wealth to do so, not out of charity but out of greed, because they are so very special. And even more rare, that person demands to be treated according to their worth because they understand what they are worth.
Sonny Vaccaro: Or their mother does.

Deloris Jordan: You purport to know a good deal about my son. You tell me. Is it me who believes in Michael, his name, or am I just a healthy reflection of who he is and what he believes about himself? Hmm?

Deloris Jordan: A shoe is just a shoe until my son steps into it.

Sonny Vaccaro: You okay?
Phil Knight: I'm just concentrating on my breath.
Sonny Vaccaro: Why?
Phil Knight: Just... doing a forgiveness meditation for myself.
Sonny Vaccaro: What are you forgiving yourself for?
Phil Knight: I think it's possible we may have set a very dangerous precedent. Now every athlete's gonna want a percentage. Next thing, they'll all want equity and... Fuck it. Too many cows.

Phil Knight: If we ruin the business, at least we had fun doing it.

Sonny Vaccaro: You know, I thought it was pronounced "Nicky" first time I saw the word.
Phil Knight: I had a really strong instinct we should call the company Dimension Six. You think it would've been successful with that name?
Sonny Vaccaro: No. Ah, you name it after the goddess of victory, it's probably more appealing to competitive athletes.
Phil Knight: We just did that 'cause the consultants told us people like four-letter words.
Sonny Vaccaro: I like four-letter words.

Phil Knight: I paid Carolyn Davidson $35 for that design in 1971.
Sonny Vaccaro: I heard you didn't like it.
Phil Knight: No. I said it would grow on me. Well, maybe it will.

Phil Knight: I think it'll be fine. What's the most we ever sold on a shoe? $3 million? He's one guy. How much can it be?...
