The Mandalorian. Chapter 21: The Pirate

The Mandalorian 3×5

Elia Kane: Perhaps the leaders of Nevarro need to understand why becoming a Republic signatory is valuable.
Captain Carson Teva: By letting them suffer? Sounds like a rather Imperial way of thinking.
Colonel Tuttle: Captain, you're out of line.
Elia Kane: It's fine. I'm used to that kind of talk. But from experience, it often takes a new perspective before one is able to see the light.
Captain Carson Teva: You and your sort didn't "see the light." You were captured.
Elia Kane: No. I was liberated.

Greef Karga: Be careful, my friend. They've got you outnumbered ten to one.
The Mandalorian: I like those odds.
Greef Karga: I bet you do.

Greef Karga: Mandalorians, I know that we have been on opposite sides in the past, but that is behind us. From this day forward, I, ... High Magistrate Greef Karga, hereby cede all land from the western lava flats to Bulloch Canyon to the fine people of Mandalore. You may no longer have a home planet, but you do now have a home. Welcome.

The Armorer: Mandalore must all come together... You have walked both worlds. You are the one who can unite us. ... Bo-Katan Kryze is going off to bring other Mandalorians in exile to us so that we may join together once again.
Paz Vizsla: But she shows her face.
The Armorer: Bo-Katan walks both worlds. And she can bring all tribes together. It is time to retake Mandalore.

George: Yeah, how excited we talking, on a scale of one to ten?
Mary: Uh, I don't know. Six?
Connie: Do we have any understanding of what this data thing is?
Mary: Not a clue-- Morning, Shelly!
George: Hey, there's the big guy!
Connie: That was about a nine.

Connie: So what all's gonna happen at this party?
Sheldon: Well, we're gonna post to UseNet that the database is live and then watch the monitor as the subscribers roll in.
Missy: And you're calling that a party? Bold.

Mandy: Thanks for doing this.
Georgie: Hey, you make a whole human being in your belly, I get the crib and car seat, we'll call it even.

Georgie: Okay, pal, I'm in sales. I know what you're doing.
Bruce: : So...
Georgie: Just give me the expensive one.

Mandy: Sheldon, is Georgie there?
Sheldon: No.
Mandy: Is your mom there?
Sheldon: No.
Mandy: Are there any adults there?
Sheldon: No. But I have an IQ of 187. I'm sure I can figure out whatever's troubling you.
Mandy: My water broke. I'm in labor.

Sheldon: All right, let's do this.
Mandy: Why are you wearing dish gloves?
Sheldon: To deliver the baby.

Sheldon: Mrs. Sparks, I need your help.
Brenda: What's with the gloves?
Sheldon: So I don't get placenta on my hands.

Sheldon: You know, in a way, you and I are having a very similar day.
Mandy: Really? How might that be?
Sheldon: I'm also bringing something new into the world. Although mine does not involve my privates being inspected my strangers.

George: Sheldon, my granddaughter's about to be born! I-I'm not going anywhere.
Sheldon: Oh, I'm sure Georgie will get more women pregnant. You'll have another chance.

Billy: Do you think my mom and your dad are going to be boyfriend and girlfriend?
Missy: No.
Billy: If they got married, would that make us brother and sister?
Missy: It's not gonna happen.
Billy: Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia were brother and sister, and they still kissed... I didn't write it!

Sheldon: I just talked to Dr. Sturgis. We didn't get a single subscriber. My database is a complete failure.

Japanese Toilets

South Park 26×3

Randy Marsh: See, Stan? You gotta choose if you wanna be in Gryffindor or Slytherin.
Stan Marsh: Yeah, can I do it?

Sharon Marsh: Randy! We need to get a new toilet.
Randy Marsh: We can't just get rid of ol' blue, Sharon.

The Home Depot Employee: How much you looking to spend?
Randy Marsh: Well I'm not poor.

The Home Depot Employee: All the toilet's functions are operated by a touch-button remote which you mount where the toilet-paper roll used to go.
Randy Marsh: So then where do you keep the toilet paper?
The Home Depot Employee: With a Japanese toilet, you don't need toilet paper. The toilet washes you completely clean.
Randy Marsh: You're mad.
The Home Depot Employee: No, it's true. It has warm water and a dryer and cleans you eight times better than toilet paper can. Would you like to take one for a test drive?
Randy Marsh: Okay, how much?

Randy Marsh: Yeah, my... my point is that most people in town don't even have a PS5. They still have PS4s, and so we're basically the Kennedys of South Park.

Sharon Marsh: That's the new toilet? How much did it cost?
Randy Marsh: Oh, Sharon. Tennish.
Sharon Marsh: What's tennish?
Randy Marsh: Tennish. Thousandish. Ten thousandish.
Sharon Marsh: You spent $10,000 on a toilet?!

Eric Cartman Stan, just so you know, nobody gives a shit.
Stan Marsh: About what?
Eric Cartman Come on, guys!...
Heather Williams Did you know some people can't even afford to eat? How about caring for something that matters, you bitch?

Randy Marsh: Oh! No, Doctor. I haven't needed to come to your office. In fact, I don't think I'll be needing your services anymore since I've gotten a Japanese toilet.
Dr. Sheltair: Oh... Oh, really?
Randy Marsh: It's completely changed my life. I'm healthier, I'm less stressed, and I don't get hemorrhoids 'cause I'm not smearing shit all over my ass with toilet paper.

Dr. Sheltair: How am I supposed to tell my wife we can't afford to go to Tuscany now?!
Randy Marsh: I never realized you made so much money off my ass. Go on. Get. Get!

Jimmy Valmer It's a big deal, Stan. You just don't understand why... Have you ever asked yourself why we use toilet paper? We're told to wash our hands... wear masks in crowds... but for some reason, when it comes to wiping our ass, we're told to do it with this little piece of paper. We are all... all of us... walking around right now with a little bit of shit smeared on our buttholes.

Jimmy Valmer Did you know that 70% of people in the world don't even use it at all? ... Most people in the world still use good ol' soap and water. The average American uses 140 rolls of toilet paper per year. Can you even begin to imagine how many trees that is? To supply the United States its toilet paper, it takes 31.1 million trees per year. A million acres per year of precious Canadian Boreal forest alone, releasing upwards of 25 metric tons of CO2 and leveling 90% of the land barren.
Stan Marsh: So, then, why do Americans use it so much?
Jimmy Valmer Well, that's the big question, isn't it?

Jimmy Valmer These people have deeper pockets than you can possibly imagine. They can destroy everything you love, Stan. Take my advice... Don't. Squeeze. The Charmin.

Randy Marsh: South Park, uh, we-we're cutting this short. I was totally wrong and I want to apologize--
Stan Marsh: No, dad, it's the toilet paper companies that are behind all the...
Randy Marsh: Yeah, I know. Yeah, so, uh, w-we have nothing against toilet paper. It's a great product and, uh, it was childish of me to make fun of it. .... Japanese toilets are totally unnecessary, and, uh, in case anyone else is listening, I think all of South Park would like to apologize. We retract what we said about toilet paper companies. They... They have done nothing but help us, and we are sorry. South Park... everyone... Say you're sorry.
— We're sorry.

Stan Marsh: What about helping people and leading by example?
Randy Marsh: We're not the goddamn Kennedys, Stan. Stop being an idiot.

Randy Marsh: You know, guys, I'm actually not that sad. Having a Japanese toilet was great, but... I've come to realize that, when you have some big, nice luxury thing, it eventually just becomes normal. But you start comparing it to all the other things in your life which suddenly feel you have to upgrade, too. So, it's really best to just stick with the beat-up, crappy old things we have. Love you forever, honey.

Donette: Why we got to keep hitting up the Barksdale people? Ain't like this whole motherfucking city ain't got stashes all over it.
Omar Little: True that.
Donette: So why?
Omar Little: Because.
Donette: Because?

Maj. Marvin Taylor: So, Stan, what's your plan for the Southeast? How you gonna give Rawls his numbers?
Maj. Stanislaus 'Stan' Valchek: I don't know. Flex squads on the corners, foot patrols in the Perkins Homes, overtime out the ass. And if that don't work, cheat on the stats. So what say you?
Maj. Marvin Taylor: Shit, me? I'm going to 12-hour shifts on the weekend, man. What about you, Bunny?
Maj. Howard 'Bunny' Colvin: Uh, I don't know. I thought I might legalize drugs.

Russell 'Stringer' Bell: That's like a 40-degree day. Ain't nobody got nothing to say about a 40-degree day. 50, bring a smile to your face. 60, shit, niggers is damn near barbecuing on that motherfucker. Go down to 20, niggers get they bitch on. Get they blood complaining. But 40? Nobody give a fuck about 40. Nobody remember 40, and y'all niggers is giving me way too many 40-degree days!

Det. Shakima 'Kima' Greggs: How come... they know you're police when they hook up with you and they know you're police when they move in, and they know you're police when they decide to start a family with you, and all that shit is just fine until one day it ain't. One day it's, "You should have a regular job." "You need to be home at five o'clock." "You need to call more..."
Off. James 'Jimmy' McNulty: "You need to stop fucking waitresses."

Sgt. Jay Landsman: Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy... Shit is fucked. You fuckin' wake up like any other day. You fuckin' eat and think about bills and dry-cleaning and shit and... fucking vacation and your fuckin' retirement plan, and what? Like that. Like that.

The Mandalorian. Chapter 20: The Foundling

The Mandalorian 3×4

The Mandalorian: Put down the rocks, kid. It's time that you learn with the other foundlings.
Bo-Katan Kryze: Are you sure this is a good idea?
The Mandalorian: If he is ever to rise from foundling to apprentice, he must learn.

Ragnar: Why doesn't he wear a helmet?
The Mandalorian: He is too young to speak the Creed, and so, too young to wear a helmet.
Ragnar: Then he's too young to fight.
The Mandalorian: "One does not speak unless one knows." Is that not the Creed?
Ragnar: Well, I know.
The Mandalorian: Perhaps this lesson is for you, then.

The Armorer: This is the Forge. It is the heart of Mandalorian culture. Just as we shape the Mandalorian steel, we shape ourselves. We all begin as raw ore. We refine ourselves through trials and adversity... The Forge can reveal weaknesses...

The Armorer: It is a tradition in our culture for each to donate a small portion of what they earn to the foundlings. It is with these scraps of beskar that I forged your next piece of armor. Mandalorian steel shall keep you safe as you grow stronger. You will grow into this rondel as you grow into your station, foundling Grogu.

Bo-Katan Kryze: How do you eat when other people are around?
The Mandalorian: You don't. When you get your food, you go off to find a place where you can take off your helmet.

Bo-Katan Kryze: What would you say if I told you I saw one?
The Armorer: That you saw what?
Bo-Katan Kryze: A Mythosaur.
The Armorer: I would say you're very lucky. It is a noble vision.
Bo-Katan Kryze: No, I... I mean a real one. Beneath the Living Waters on Mand'alor.
The Armorer: When you choose to walk the Way of the Mand'alor, you will see many things.
Bo-Katan Kryze: But it was real.
The Armorer: This is the Way.

Ticket to Paradise (2022)

Lily: This is gonna be an unbearable day.
Wren: Come on. We shake an old guy's hand and wear a dumb hat. What could possibly go wrong?

Georgia: Take a picture.
David: You take a picture.
Georgia: I'm in the moment.
David: Why do you need a picture?
Georgia: So I don't forget the moment.

David: Love you.
Georgia: Love you more.
David: So proud.
Georgia: Prouder.
David: The most proud.
Georgia: Proudest.
David: Couldn't be more proud.
Georgia: Bursting.

Georgia: See you again never.
David: Hopefully not that soon.

Lily: I wish I went to work in a bathing suit.
Gede: This isn't work. It's a partnership. With Dewi Danu, the goddess of the sea. All we have to do is understand her tides and moods... not throw plastic into her, not over-farm her, and she'll give us wonderful lives. Nature, god and people. Balance the three, and you have harmony.

Georgia: I think it's upside down.

Georgia: I'm working, David. I really don't have time.
David: Unless you became an oncologist since we last spoke, you got time.
Georgia: There you go, always diminishing what I do.
David: What you do diminishes what you do.

David: Don't blame yourself, Paul. It could happen to anybody who doesn't know what they're doing.

Suli: And now he is saying you remind him of a very attractive horse.
Georgia: Oh. Really?
Suli: That can't be right... No, he... he did mean horse.
Georgia: Oh.

David: Hey, look, happy is great. Lily happy is the greatest of all. It's just that... a weird thing happens when you become a parent. When your kid is down, when they're in pain, it kills you. But when they're up, when things are going great, that's when you get really scared. Because you don't want it to change, and you know it will.
Gede: Does it always?
David: Mm.

Georgia: There's not gonna be a wedding. I won't let her throw her life away on some insanely handsome guy who happens to live in the most beautiful place on Earth. And yes, I do know how that sounds, but I'm still right.

Georgia: I was overserved.

Lily: Being loved is not the same as loving.

Lily: You're just like all parents, acting like you're giving your kid this great advice for their own good, but all you're really doing is talking to your young, dumb selves, trying to rewrite the past and not do whatever you did 25 years ago.

David: Do you think if we'd kicked a coconut around a few times, things would have worked out differently for us?

Ike Broflovski She is dead. She's dead. She's dead, Kyle.
Kyle Broflovski Ike, the Queen died like four months ago. You gotta let it go.

Funeral Commentator: Y... Yes, it looks like the Prince and his new wife have just shown up. The Prince and his wife have, of course, been bashing the Canadian monarchy. A lot of Canadians hate them now.

— We want privacy! We want privacy! We want privacy! We want privacy!
Prince of Canada: Thanks for having us on the show.
Princess of Canada: It's so awesome to be here. It's great.

Canadian Talk Show Host: So let me start with you, sir. You lived a life with the royal family, you had everything handed to you but you say your life has been hard, and you've written all aboot it in your new book, "Waaagh."
Prince of Canada: Yes that's right, fwiend.

Princess of Canada: We just want to be normal people. All this attention is so hard.
Canadian Talk Show Host: Isn't it true, sir, that your questionable wife has her own TV show and hangs out with celebrities and does fashion magazines?
Prince of Canada: What are you suggesting?
Canadian Talk Show Host: Well, I just think some people might say that your Instagram-loving bitch wife actually doesn't want her privacy.
Prince of Canada: How dare you, sir! My Instagram-loving bitch wife has always wanted her privacy! And you know what else? To hell with Canada.

Prince of Canada: We are leaving. We'll go find some quiet place where we can be normal people. Come on, wife. We want privacy!
— We want privacy! We want privacy!

Mr. Davis: Alright there, Kyle, we got your survey answers, and I think we've put together some great ideas for your brand. I understand you want people to like you more and think you're cool. Is that right?
Kyle Broflovski Yeah.
Mr. Davis: Alright, well, let's see how this brand works for you. We got... Kyle... Rugged. Vegan. Compassionate. Victim.
Kyle Broflovski I... I don't think that's really me.
Mr. Davis: Well, that's fine 'cause there's a lot of different brands people are attracted to. How about this one? Kyle... Sensitive. Outdoorsy. Frugal. Victim.
Kyle Broflovski I'm not... I'm not that outdoorsy.
Mr. Davis: Okay, well, remember there, Kyle, it's not so much about who you are as much as it is about what people are attracted to, okay? So let's see, how about this? Kyle... Wealthy. Handsome. Multi-talented Grammy Award-Winning. Victim. Oh, that... that one's taken already. Sorry. Hold on...

Butters Stotch: You'll see, Kyle. When you have your brand up and runnin', no one can stop you.

Princess of Canada: Look at this town... There's just something about it. Oh, darling. I think this might be the place.
Prince of Canada: You really think so?
Princess of Canada: It's so quiet and empty here. If we moved here, then people would think we're really serious about wanting to be normal.

Prince of Canada: Hey! Hey, you! Hey, what are you looking at?! You ever heard of privacy?!
Kyle Broflovski What?

Kyle Broflovski I just want you guys to know that I am a reliable, fun-loving, punctual victim.
Stan Marsh: 'Kay, well, we gotta get to class.

Officer Johnston: Park County Police Station. What's your emergency?
Kyle Broflovski Yeah, the neighbors across the street are setting off fireworks and it's 10:30 at night!
Officer Johnston: Oh, is it the Prince of Canada and his wife, who just want to be left alone?

Prince of Canada: We are here because privacy is a basic human right. How many more princes and his wives have to live in this nightmare?
Kyle Broflovski Hey, can you two [BLEEP] keep it down?! Oy!
Prince of Canada: You ever heard of a thing called "privacy"?!
Kyle Broflovski Yeah, nobody gives a shit. Will you two just shut up, and go away?!

Kyle Broflovski It seriously is driving me crazy! The prince plays drums all day. I don't think he even has a job. And I don't know what the hell she does. Why they even left Canada is beyond me. And, like, she seems to just boss him around, and make him do whatever she wants. I mean, why did they even leave Canada and move to South Park, anyway? ...
Stan Marsh: Look, Kyle... We just kinda don't care about some dumb prince and his stupid wife.
Kyle Broflovski I don't care about them either!
Jimmy Valmer So, then why do you talk about them all the time?
Kyle Broflovski ......

Stan Marsh: Dude, we're just kind of sick of hearing about them.
Kyle Broflovski I'm sick of hearing about them! But I can't get away from them! They're everywhere! In my [BLEEP] face!
Tolkien Black Yeah, and now you're putting 'em in our [BLEEP] face.

Mr. Davis: The problem with you is you want results without the work. You can't just say you're a certain thing, and then expect people to just like your brand. You gotta work it, sell people on it.
Kyle Broflovski But I just don't feel like my brand is who I really am on the inside.
Mr. Davis: You know, Kyle, some people think it's what's inside you that matters. But people can't see inside you. They can only see what kind of drink you're drinking. That's what matters.

Mr. Davis: I think we got it. People are gonna love this. Kyle... he's a thick-skinned, super cool, nothing bothers him... Victim.

Kyle Broflovski ..... I don't care. Don't care.
Princess of Canada: What the hell?
Prince of Canada: What'd he just say?
Princess of Canada: He victimized me! It's because I'm an ethnic woman!
Prince of Canada: He can't do that! I'll see... Wait, you're ethnic? This is an outrage!

Mr. Davis: I do see you're in our database, but you didn't first get help at this CumHammer location?
Prince of Canada: No. My wife went to one in California as a child.
Mr. Davis: Ah. Okay. Then you must be in the national system... Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Is this you? "Sorority girl, Actress, Influencer, Victim."
Princess of Canada: Yeah. That's totally me.
Mr. Davis: And then, you added your husband to your Friends and Family account. You must be the "Royal prince, millionaire, world traveler, victim."
Prince of Canada: That's right.

Kyle Broflovski Look, we all have our faults. God knows I do. But if we just try to present and control an image of us for people to see, then, we're just performers instead of human beings.
Prince of Canada: He's right. Trying to make ourselves into a brand just turned us into products. We don't need to be a brand, do we?... If it's truly what we want, then we really can get away from it all. No more magazines and Netflix shows. We really can live a normal life. Yes, I'm sure you agree, darling... We can be the people we talked about being, with no more worries about how we look or the image we project to people. What matters is what we have on the inside... Hello?......

Funeral Commentator: The queen is dead. What a sad day for Canada... and therefore, the world.

Det. Thomas 'Herc' Hauk: Let me ask you a question. Where do you get those hats with the bills over the ears like that? I go into all the stores and the only ones I can find are the ones with the bills in the front.
Justin: No, it's the same. Just turn it sideways on your head.

Councilman Thomas 'Tommy' Carcetti: Truth is, I've been a councilman for almost three years now. ... In Baltimore, a white boy doesn't stand much chance running citywide. Maybe the legislature, if the right seat opens up. But until then, I'm stuck in a job with no power, except getting potholes filled.

Acting Commissioner Ervin H. Burrell: If you're looking for dirt, there isn't any.
Councilman Thomas 'Tommy' Carcetti: There's always fucking dirt. But right now, I'm just looking to know how we can do better.

Det. William 'Bunk' Moreland: I don't know. Men of color usually don't do themselves. I mean, take me, for instance.
Off. James 'Jimmy' McNulty: Yeah, you got all the reason in the world.
Det. William 'Bunk' Moreland: And yet here I am, still standing.

Lt. Cedric Daniels: You ever have one of those "have your cake and eat it, too" days? I believe this could be my first.

Lt. Cedric Daniels: Funny day. I'm the new departmental pet for shutting down a drug war. But I blew my wire for a dead terrier.

Maj. Howard 'Bunny' Colvin: Six months from now, I'm gone. I put in my 30 and the only thing that'll be left of me on that job is an 8 by 11 framed picture in the Western hallway. But you know what? The shit out there. The city is worse than when I first came on. So what does that say about me? About my life?
Deacon: Come on, man. You're talking about drugs. That's a force of nature, that's sweeping leaves on a windy day, whoever the hell you are.

Maj. Howard 'Bunny' Colvin: Somewheres... back in the dawn of time... this district had itself a civic dilemma of epic proportion. The city council had just passed a law that forbid alcoholic consumption in public places, on the streets... and on the corners. But the corner is, and it was, and it always will be... the poor man's lounge. It's where a man wants to be on a hot summer's night. It's cheaper than a bar, catch a nice breeze, you watch the girls go by.
     But the law is the law. And the Western cops rolling by, what were they gonna do? If they arrested every dude out there for tipping back a High Life, there'd be no other time for any other kind of police work. And if they looked the other way? They'd open themselves to all kinds of flaunting... all kinds of disrespect.
     Now, this is before my time when it happened, but... somewhere back in the '50s or '60s, there was a small moment of goddamn genius by some nameless smokehound who comes out the Cut Rate one day, and on his way to the corner, he slips that just-bought pint of elderberry... into a paper bag. A great moment of civic compromise.
     That small wrinkled-ass paper bag... allowed the corner boys to have their drink in peace, and it gave us permission... to go and do police work. The kind of police work that's actually worth the effort. That's worth actually... taking a bullet for.

To Kill a Mockingbird (1962)

Older Scout: Maycomb was a tired old town even in 1932 when I first knew it. Somehow, it was hotter then. Men's stiff collars wilted by 9:00 in the morning. Ladies bathed before noon, after their 3:00 naps and by nightfall were like soft teacakes with frostings of sweat and sweet talcum. A day was 24 hours long, but it seemed longer. There was no hurry, for there was nowhere to go and nothing to buy and no money to buy it with. Although Maycomb County had recently been told that it had nothing to fear but fear itself. That summer I was 6 years old...

Atticus Finch: Scout, I think maybe next time Mr. Cunningham comes, you'd better not call me.
Scout Finch: I thought you'd want to thank him.
Atticus Finch: Oh, I do. But I think it embarrasses him to be thanked.
Scout Finch: Why does he bring you all this stuff?
Atticus Finch: He is paying me for some legal work I did for him.
Scout Finch: Why is he paying you like this?
Atticus Finch: That's the only way he can. He has no money.
Scout Finch: Is he poor?
Atticus Finch: Yes.
Scout Finch: Are we poor?
Atticus Finch: We are indeed.
Scout Finch: Are we as poor as the Cunninghams?
Atticus Finch: No, not exactly. The Cunninghams are country folks, farmers. The Crash hit them the hardest.

Atticus Finch: I've been appointed to defend Tom Robinson. And now that he's been charged, that's what I intend to do.
Mr. Ewell: You're taking his...
Atticus Finch: If you'll excuse me, Mr. Ewell.
Mr. Ewell: What kind of man are you? You've got children of your own.

Dill Harris: So long. I'll see you next summer.

Jem Finch: How old were you when you got your first gun, Atticus?
Atticus Finch: Thirteen or fourteen... I remember when my daddy gave me that gun. He told me that I should never point at anything in the house. And that he'd rather I'd shoot at tin cans in the backyard. But he said that sooner or later he'd suppose the temptation to go after birds would be too much. That I could shoot all the blue jays I wanted if I could hit them. But to remember it was a sin to kill a mockingbird.
Scout Finch:
Atticus Finch: I reckon because mockingbirds don't do anything but make music for us to enjoy. They don't eat people's gardens, don't nest in the corncribs. They don't do one thing, but just sing their hearts out for us.

Atticus Finch: If you just learn a single trick, Scout, you'll get along a lot better with all kinds of folks. You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view.
Scout Finch: Sir?
Atticus Finch: Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.

Atticus Finch: Scout? Do you know what a compromise is?
Scout Finch: ... Bending the law?
Atticus Finch: No. It's an agreement reached by mutual consent. Here is the way it works. You concede the necessity of going to school and we'll keep right on reading the same every night, just as we always have. Is that a bargain?

Atticus Finch: There's a lot of ugly things in this world, Son. I wish I could keep them all away from you. That's never possible.

Scout Finch: Atticus, do you defend niggers?
Atticus Finch: Don't say nigger, Scout.
Scout Finch: I didn't say it. Cecil Jacobs did. That's why I had to fight him.

Atticus Finch: Anyway, I'm simply defending a Negro, Tom Robinson... Scout, there are some things that you're not old enough to understand just yet... There's been some high talk around town to the effect that I shouldn't do much about defending this man.
Scout Finch: If you shouldn't be defending him, then why are you doing it?
Atticus Finch: For a number of reasons. The main one is that if I didn't, I couldn't hold my head up in town. I couldn't even tell you or Jem not to do something again.

Prosecutor: You felt sorry for her? A white woman? You felt sorry for her...

Wrong Place (2022)

Chloe Richards: The one thing about having cancer is that people cannot stay mad at you for too long.

Jake Brown: I'm here to update your security camera with our latest models. If uh... you could show me where your recordings are, I...
Jerry: You're in the wrong place. ... Just between you and me, we don't use those anymore.
Jake Brown: Are you sure about that?
Jerry: Yup. We got Frank Richards. Used to be the police captain. He's all the security we need.

Jake Brown: That shit's impossible. I saw him here.
Chloe Richards: You're obviously in the wrong place.

Chloe Richards: Never fuck with a bitch who's ready to die.

Jake Brown: Honestly, feel bad for you. Look at you. You're just an old man with an old gun. Nothing personal, pal, you're just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Caliphate #1.5

Husam: Does your wife have a mobile phone?
Jamal: No. Does Pervin want her own telephone?
Husam: Yes.
Jamal: Why?
Husam: How do I know? What do you think I should do?
Jamal: I think you should whip her.

Sulle: I don't know. Everything got so weird. I don't know what happened.
Tuba: What got weird?

Sulle: Like before. I want everything to be like before.
Tuba: I want that, too. So, we just decide. Everything is as it was before, okay?

Jamal: What did you do?
Husam: I hit her. With the strap of my gun.
Jamal: You should take another wife. Then you should go into battle and combat the enemy, for Allah. So you become strong.
Husam: You know I'm not meant to. I can't!
Jamal: Why not?
Husam: What do you mean why?
Jamal: Jihad is holy. It's obligatory. You can't just opt out of jihad. What do we need you for otherwise?

Elizabeth Holmes: Are you threatening me?

Sunny Balwani: I called a lawyer. I have to protect myself.
Elizabeth Holmes: From what? Do you think that we did something wrong? Or did you do something that I didn't know about?
Sunny Balwani: You think that... I did things that... you didn't do?
Elizabeth Holmes: Did you? I don't know everything that you did. If you did something wrong, you should tell me. What did you do, Sunny? Maybe I could help you. I could set you up with some good lawyers.

Channing Robertson: I respect your decision.
Sunny Balwani: My decision?
Channing Robertson: To step down.
Sunny Balwani: It's the right thing to do. For Elizabeth.

Sunny Balwani: There's nothing there... There's nothing inside you. I invented you inside my head. For 12 years, I've been inventing you. I made you up. You're not real! You don't have feelings. You aren't a person. You're a ghost! You're nothing! You're nothing! You're not real! You're nothing.
Elizabeth Holmes: And you're a mediocre software engineer.

Sunny Balwani: They're going to come for us. We could go to jail.
Elizabeth Holmes: I have a lot of lawyers.
Sunny Balwani: You have no idea what's about to happen. Trust me. The world is a mean place. Everyone has only been nice to you because of greed. They won't stay. They'll leave you. Everyone will leave you and they'll say they didn't know anything.
Elizabeth Holmes: And what are you going to say?
Sunny Balwani: ... I won't hurt you.

David Boies: Linda has been over the talking points. Now, this interviewer will be very hard on you. But that's your opportunity to apologize.
Noel Holmes: Yes, apologize and then she can just move on from this.
David Boies: Absolutely. Own up to the mistakes Sunny made and then talk about how you are gonna move the company forward.

Linda Tanner: Did you have a chance to... look at the apology that we drafted?
Elizabeth Holmes: Yeah, yeah.
Linda Tanner: I don't work in PR but, uh, I think... I think what people want right now is some acknowledgement, right? Some emotional acknowledgement. So, um... like, they wanna know that... that you're ashamed, yeah?
Elizabeth Holmes: Ashamed?
Linda Tanner: Especially in that word "devastated". Keep it really warm, really sincere... Oh, they're ready. So, you know... you know what, just don't even overthink it at all. Just go, be yourself.

Elizabeth Holmes: If you choose to forget certain things... do you think that's lying?

George Shultz: It's not that I couldn't admit that I was wrong. I just... chose not to see it... like an old fool.

George Shultz: Isn't it amazing? How far decent people will go when they're sure they're right?

Elizabeth Holmes: Can you draw up a bankruptcy plan?
Linda Tanner: I can't. No.
Elizabeth Holmes: Why?
Linda Tanner: I don't work for you anymore. You stopped paying me. I'm actually looking for a new job. But I don't know. I don't know. No one will hire me.

Elizabeth Holmes: He's young. He's... he's in his... his... in his 20s.
Linda Tanner: Oh, wow. That must be different for you.
Elizabeth Holmes: What do you mean?
Linda Tanner: 'Cause Sunny's so much older.
Elizabeth Holmes: I can't believe I didn't know. Wow, you guys are such good liars.

Linda Tanner: You were young when you met Sunny, and now, you're... dating this younger guy so it's just like you're moving backwards. Elizabeth Holmes: Yeah, I'm just, you know, I'm just taking a moment to enjoy myself and have fun.
Linda Tanner: Oh, is that what we're doing now?
Elizabeth Holmes: Yeah. I guess.
Linda Tanner: I mean, you're legally barred from running a company for the next 10 years. So, yeah, I guess it makes sense. Get a dog and a boyfriend, and just have fun. Yes, you could go to jail for 20 years. But yes, just pretend what you did never happened.
Elizabeth Holmes: I was trying to help people.
Linda Tanner: Do you really believe that?
Elizabeth Holmes: We had a clear purpose. Ultimately, the healthcare industry just was not ready for real innovation.
Linda Tanner: Is there something wrong with you?
Elizabeth Holmes: The tech companies don't have to work under these restraints and regulations...
Linda Tanner: Do you have any idea of what you did?
Elizabeth Holmes: ...and that's why they can move fast and break things. I failed to deliver. I failed. But failure is not a crime.
Linda Tanner: You hurt people.
Elizabeth Holmes: I actually have to go. But I'll be back and we can keep talking.
Linda Tanner: You hurt people. You hurt people!

Cupid Ye

South Park 26×1

Kyle Broflovski: Hey, dudes. Just wondering if you guys have seen me and Tolkien's latest Tiktok?

Eric Cartman: What the [BLEEP] is this? Seriously, what the [BLEEP] is this?

Eric Cartman: I gotta see if there's some way I can help. There's a little voice inside me that can't stand to see my friend suffer.
Kenny McKormick: Mrph rmh rmphm?
Eric Cartman: I'm gonna go be a good Christian.

Eric Cartman: I think it's amazing. It's awesome that someone like you could be okay with someone like him, given all the new information lately... You know, the stuff that's come out about how the Jews stole the Black race's identity, that the lost tribes of Judah were actually all Africans. You didn't hear about this?

Eric Cartman: Black people are actually the Jews and people like Kyle have taken that from them?
Tolkien Black: Stop talking to me.
Eric Cartman: When the Jews came to America to escape persecution in World War II, they found that Blacks were already the underclass in America, so they had to invent a story for themselves which they can make everyone believe because Kyle runs Hollywood!... Kyle runs Hollywood, Tolkien.

Cupid Ye: Remember, being a good Christian means helping people even when it's hard.
Eric Cartman: You're right, Cupid Ye. Can you help make sure Tolkien hears our message?
Cupid Ye: Spreading information is like spreading love. I'll help you get the word out, Eric!

Kyle Broflovski: I'm not even going to justify that with a response. Because repeating a derogatory slur, even for the purpose of refuting it, can make stupid people think it's valid!
Scott Malkinson: Holy shit. Kyle runs Hollywood...

P.C. Principal: Mr. Cartman, did you or did you not tell students at this school that Kyle runs Hollywood?
Eric Cartman: I think I did say that, yes.
P.C. Principal: And why would you say such an intolerant, offensive thing like that?
Eric Cartman: Somebody runs Hollywood.
Kyle Broflovski: Lots of people run Hollywood!
Eric Cartman: Yes, lots of... people like Kyle.
P.C. Principal: Mr. Cartman you are on dangerous frickin ground here, buddy!
Eric Cartman: I'm sorry, why is it so offensive to say who runs Hollywood? People like Hollywood. Hollywood's cool. The Jews should be honored to be in charge of it.

Eric Cartman: The Principal said I can't talk about Kyle running Hollywood anymore, Cupid Ye!
Cupid Ye: Well, of course, Eric! They're trying to silence you. That's what they do.
Eric Cartman: Who's they? Oh right... them.
Cupid Ye: Tee hee hee! Jews!

Randy Marsh: Well, Gerald, I don't know if you can just talk to your son but... can we just admit this whole woke thing isn't working?

Randy Marsh: And just as a side note, I'm gonna say it out loud. "Avatar 2" sucked. It just sucked, Gerald. Someone had to be brave enough to say it.

Gerald Broflovski Kyle, what is he talking about?!
Kyle Broflovski He's just being an idiot and listening to what [BLEEP] Eric Cartman said!
Randy Marsh: I did not hear it from Eric Cartman. I heard it from a prominent, respected artist on television.
Kyle Broflovski Who?!
TV Anchor: Our next guest is a world famous rapper and artist who claims that the Jews run Hollywood. What exactly do you mean by that?

Tolkien Black: Maybe I should do the mom part.
Kyle Broflovski Nah, you do the kid part. It's funnier.
Tolkien Black: Okay, yeah. I guess you call the shots.
Kyle Broflovski What's that supposed to mean?
Tolkien Black: Just means you're in charge.
Kyle Broflovski Oh, I'm in charge, Like I control things? Huh, are you gonna start saying I run Hollywood now too?
Tolkien Black: I didn't say you run Hollywood. And honestly, I'm getting kind of sick of hearing it.
Kyle Broflovski You're sick of hearing it?
Tolkien Black: Yeah, I'm sick of hearing it.
Kyle Broflovski Oh, my God, are you listening to yourself? You of all people should have some compassion.
Tolkien Black: Oh, really? Why me of all people, Kyle?
Kyle Broflovski You seriously don't know why? You know that Jews have stood alongside Blacks since the Civil Rights movement began, right?
Tolkien Black: What does that have to do with anything?
Kyle Broflovski I'm just saying I thought you'd be a better friend. 'Cause you're like...
Tolkien Black: 'Cause I'm like what? Black?
Eric Cartman: Oh my God, this is so awesome.
Kyle Broflovski Whatever, Tolkien. Now you're gonna act like I somehow did something wrong to you.
Tolkien Black: No, you didn't do it to me. It just seems to work out that way all the time for you people.
Kyle Broflovski You people? No, it works that way for you people!

Cupid Ye: ...and we can spread our Nazi message all over the world!
Eric Cartman: Whoa, whoa, okay, Cupid Ye. You mean our Christian message.
Cupid Ye: It's the same thing. Christian message, Nazi message. Hitler was a great Christian.
Eric Cartman: Cupid Ye, are you okay? Do you need to, like, talk to somebody?
Cupid Ye: I mean it. People have to die so that the better races can live.

Cupid Ye: How about a little anti-Semitism?...

Eric Cartman: Cupid Yeeeeeeee! Time to take your meds...

Time After Time

The Wire 3×1

Preston 'Bodie' Broadus: Shit, no matter how many times you get burnt, man, you just keep on doing the same. Nigger do not learn.

Major Howard 'Bunny' Colvin: Now, which way is north? Point... That's east. Now, if you're in foot pursuit it might help your backup to know what direction you're running. Even numbers tell you north and west. Odds, south and east... Compasses. Until you learn that much, you carry one.
Det. Thomas 'Herc' Hauk: Hey, Carv, where you at?
Det. Ellis Carver: I'm at a desk outside the roll call room on the first floor of 1034 North Mount. My feet are facing west and my dick is pointing south-southwest.
Det. Thomas 'Herc' Hauk: Bunny Colvin's been giving that speech as long as you guys been sucking air.

Major Howard 'Bunny' Colvin: So, what did we learn? Using half my district K-9 and the copter to bring a 14-year-old to bay. What did we learn?
Det. Thomas 'Herc' Hauk: That you can't raise up and run from a drug corner in Sector One without my boot finding your ass. Right?

Det. Lester Freamon: What makes you think they'll promote the wrong man?
Det. Roland 'Prez' Pryzbylewski: We do it all the time.

Johnny Weeks: It'll be better tomorrow, Bubs.
Reginald 'Bubbles' Cousins: Well... What kind of dope fiend be talking about tomorrow? Tomorrow ain't shit. Today, Johnny. Today.

Det. William 'Bunk' Moreland: I'm thinking of becoming a woman.
Det. William 'Bunk' Moreland: Can you believe this? They caught five tonight. They're telling me to come in on my day off.
Off. James 'Jimmy' McNulty: Five, huh? City's jumping bad, man.

Deputy Commissioner for Operations William A. Rawls: Here's a fun fact for you. If Baltimore had New York's population, we'd be clocking 4,000 murders a year at this rate.

Deputy Commissioner for Operations William A. Rawls: There is no excuse I will accept. I don't care how you do it. Just fucking do it.
Maj. Marvin Taylor: Er, Deputy... as familiar as we all are with the urban crime environment, I think we all understand there are certain processes by which you can reduce the number of overall felonies. You can reclassify an agg assault, or you can unfound a robbery, but, er, how do you make a body disappear?
Deputy Commissioner for Operations William A. Rawls: ... There isn't one of you in this room who isn't here by appointment. If you want to continue wearing those oak clusters, you will shut up and step up. Any of you who can't bring in the numbers we need, will be replaced by someone who can.

Lt. Cedric Daniels: We don't have the manpower. Not to mention the money. And for what? We're still a long way from a quality target. I say we come down off the wire, charge what we can, and move on.
Off. James 'Jimmy' McNulty: We come down early two years ago, we left a real bastard on the street. We're gonna let that same son of a bitch beat me again? How many times do you let Stringer Bell go around the board? Collect another fucking 200... Million.
Lt. Cedric Daniels: There's other fish in the barrel, McNulty. ...

Caliphate #1.4

Ibrahim: Brothers in Islam, this pig fought for Bashar al-Assad in Syria and killed our Muslim brothers and sisters. He who lives like a pig will be slaughtered like a pig. This is what we do to the enemies of Allah. Allah is the greatest!

Suleiman: Don't you have basketball soon, Sulle? It'll be fun to see you play.
Sulle: I don't play anymore.
Suleiman: Why not?
Sulle: Because it's haram.

Suleiman: Haram? Do I have to hear that word in my own house? Am I to be raised by my own daughters?

Suleiman: Cut it out, Sulle! They're murderers. This isn't Islam!
Sulle: How do you know? You're not Muslim. You hate Islam! You know nothing!

Tuba: You know I'm happy you've found God, but Daesh are not Muslims. They're criminals that kill other Muslims!
Sulle: No, they don't.
Tuba: Yes, they kill other Muslims all the time!
Sulle: No! They kill murtadeen, apostates...
Suleiman: "Apostates," where've you learnt this?
Sulle: Those who break Allah's law and leave Islam. First they try to convince them, but if not they have to kill them!
Tuba: They have no right to do that!
Sulle: So the Qur'an is wrong? It says that apostates should be killed. Is the Qur'an wrong?
Tuba: It was written 1,000 years ago.
Sulle: So you want to change the Qur'an?
Tuba: They make people slaves!
Sulle: How do you know? Who said that?
Tuba: I know, everyone does. It's on TV!
Sulle: Swedish TV? Who says the USA is best and all Muslims are terrorists?

Tuba: What is it you want?
Sulle: A Muslim life. Is that a problem?
Tuba: You want to live with Sharia laws? You don't know what it is. I've lived under Sharia!
Sulle: No, you haven't! You know what Sharia is? Sharia is free food, schools, health--
Suleiman: And where will you find that?

Tuba: Where are you going?
Sulle: To Kerima's. You're such damn infidels!

Sulle: They said that if I want to live as a Muslim, then I can. But then they get to decide.

Luther: The Fallen Sun (2023)

DCI John Luther: This isn't a case of wrong place at the wrong time, is it?

Corinne Aldrich: My son is out there somewhere right now. So you need to find him.
DCI John Luther: I'll do the very best I can.
Corinne Aldrich: It's not good enough. I need you to promise me. I need you to promise me you'll find Callum.
DCI John Luther: ... Okay. I promise. I'll bring your boy home. Okay?

David Robey: From what I hear, DCI Luther's a bit of a bad apple. Trouble is, he's a very analog bad apple. Doesn't have what you might call an online presence, which is why I'm calling you. I want everything on him. Every furtive little secret, every intimate disgrace. I want his corruption. I want evidence of any misstep. Any wrongdoing. Any line he's crossed. I want… his shame.

Corinne Aldrich: Liar.

John Luther: I'm still a copper.

Warden: Let them at you?
John Luther: Yeah.
Warden: How does that make sense?
John Luther: Because I'm ready. Can you do it or not?
Warden: I mean, in theory, yeah, but… If it goes wrong, spins out of control, you're a dead man. They'll kill you, John.
John Luther: All right, yeah. I… I can live with that. So let 'em come. Let them come.

DCI Odette Raine: So… Martin… I'm not asking you to catch him for me. We can do that. I'm asking you to save his life.

John Luther: No? Okay, right, well, this is the part where I do something horrible to you like perhaps, I don't know, tattoo your fucking eyeball.

Martin Schenk: Schenk.
John Luther: Wotcha.
Martin Schenk: I was wondering when you'd call.
John Luther: Yeah. I see you're back in the shop then.
Martin Schenk: I'm consulting, yes. Helping them to catch you.

John Luther: Hey, do you want to put 20 on it?
Martin Schenk: On what?
John Luther: Twenty that I get him before you get me.
Martin Schenk: Make it 50.

John Luther: It doesn't matter who you are. We've all got something that you don't want anyone else to know about. Something you're ashamed of. It could be something sexual. Could be financial. Could be criminal... Problem is these days people live their secret lives out on the internet.

John Luther: I think he's probably figured out that in the right circumstances, the fear of shame, the fear of being called out, the fear of being caught is way more powerful than the fear of death.

David Robey: Would you like your daughter back?

Barman: Evening, sir. What can I get you?
John Luther: Oh, I don't know. It's been a long day. What do you suggest?
Barman: I'd say a long day calls for a martini...
John Luther: No.
Barman: Whiskey? We have an 18-year-old Glenmorangie, uh, Tullamore Dew--
John Luther: I'll have a glass of water. If it makes you happy, you can make it fizzy.

John Luther: Boss, I'm sorry, okay? I know that I've let you down… way too often.
Martin Schenk: It wasn't me you let down. The tragedy is that you are a better man than you ever allowed yourself to be.

DCI Odette Raine: I don't understand why you did the things you did.
John Luther: Well, I couldn't see any other way.
DCI Odette Raine: To do what?
John Luther: What had to be done.

David Robey: So, John. I thought I'd kick off by asking you as a… Well, a bit of an expert in these things, apparently. Do you think I can help being what I am? Do you think any of us can?
John Luther: Mate, I couldn't give a fucking monkey's.

Martin Schenk: Wotcha.
John Luther: Wotcha.

Martin Schenk: I don't think you're going back to prison. A job offer, perhaps?...
John Luther: So now what?
Driver: Chief would like a word...

Ghaddah: I'm only in Sweden for a short stay.

Ghaddah: I'm a widow. Twice.
Kerima: My God, how sad.
Ghaddah: Not at all. It's my greatest joy. My husbands are shuhada'a. Martyrs. The greatest honor there is.

Sulle: Milo's nothing to you.
Kerima: Can't he snog her somewhere else? We just broke up. He could bloody wait.
Sulle: Al-Jihad al-asghar. Fight your inner demons. Milo's one of them. It's the only way.
Kerima: Exactly. Al-Jihad al-akbar.
Sulle: Al asghar. Al-Jihad al-asghar. Your inner war.
