Pig (2021)

Amir: Listen, man. You know this isn't, like, my problem, right?
Rob: You want your supply, I need my pig.

Rob: Whatever happens, just stay back.

Rob: I'm looking... for my pig.

Rob: What is the... concept here?
Chef Finway: Um, well, uh, we're interested in taking local ingredients, uh, native to this region and-- and just deconstructing them, you know, making the-- the familiar feel foreign, thereby giving us, uh, an even greater appreciation of food as a whole.
Rob: ..... This is the kind of cooking you like?

Rob: They're not real. You get that, right? None of it is real. The critics aren't real, the customers aren't real because this isn't real. You aren't real.
Chef Finway: What... Okay.
Derek, why do you care about this people? They don't care about you, none of them. They don't even know you because you haven't shown them. Every day you wake up and there'll be less of you. You live your life for them and they don't even see you. You don't even see yourself... We don't get a lot of things to really care about.

Amir: What are you thinking?
Rob: I was thinking if I never came looking for her, in my head, she'd still be alive.

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel 5×1

Susie: Ugh, Zelda, what smells like donkey balls?
Zelda: Special Polish fish head soup. It wards off evil spirits. Makes your hair shiny, too.
Susie: Okay. Well, when you are done driving down the neighbors' property values, make some coffee, strong coffee.

Susie: That thing is a goner. It's like she was in a war, an old one. ... You know, I can't unsee that toe now, Rose. You understand that? I may never fucking close my eyes again.

Susie: Listen to me, tomorrow this will all be a funny bit you can use in your act.

Astrid: Wait, Shirley, did you just say you potty train a baby by dangling them over a stove?
Shirley: It warms their tush, that reminds them of what their tush is for. I got Joely trained in an hour and a half.

Joel: You and Ma have to work this out.
Moishe: Not gonna happen, Joely. We tried. We talked.
Shirley: And then Moishe said something to me that I never thought I would ever hear my husband say, and he can't unsay it.
Moishe: And in response Shirley said something to me I never thought another human being, let alone my wife of 34 years, would say to me, and she can't unsay it.

Midge: It's easy to see a diamond once it's in the window at Tiffany's. It's a little harder when it's throwing up in a bucket in your office. Susie is one of a kind. You'll never find another Susie. You just remember that.

Gordon Ford: Want to come write for me?
Midge: I'm sorry?
Gordon Ford: Susie Myerson and Associates here has been talking you up. Says you could be my woman. Writers' room-wise.

The Office 6×7

Jim Halpert: Hi, Michael.
Michael Scott: Oh, I haven't seen you since my accident that I had when I fell--I fell into the pool of acid, eyes first... Blind guy. Blind guy McSqueezy.

Michael Scott: You want me to be happy?
Pam Beesly: Of course.
Michael Scott: Part of the problem is she is the mother of a close friend of mine.
Pam Beesly: Oh.
Michael Scott: More than a friend. A co-worker.
Pam Beesly: Oh. Gossip. Who is it? Who is it?... Who is it, Michael?! Who?!!
Michael Scott: It's okay...

Michael Scott: That could've gone one of two ways, but I never expected her to get upset.

Pam Beesly: You need to be more upset about this. She's your mother too now. Your mother is sleeping with Michael Scott!

Michael Scott: What is so wrong about me? I'm caring. I'm generous. I'm sensual. Is it really so horrible that I could possibly go out and find happiness?...
Phyllis Lapin: Good luck, Michael. I hope you find what you're looking for.
Oscar Martinez: Maybe you're right. Who are we to--
Jim Halpert: Shut up, Oscar.

Pam Beesly: Oh, my God, you are ridiculous!
Michael Scott: Do not talk to me that way! I am your boss, and I may someday be your father, so get out.

Pam Beesly: Maybe I'm overreacting.

A New Day

The Wire 4×11

Norman Wilson: Well, civilian review is a nonstarter. You go now there now, you'll be bending over for four years for the ministers.
Mayor Thomas 'Tommy' Carcetti: So what? I throw them a bone and fire some idiot cop? By pressing that, the average beat cop's gonna hate my guts, and I can't change anything without rank-and-file support.
Norman Wilson: You don't fire him, you're going to piss off most of the black political infrastructure.
Mayor Thomas 'Tommy' Carcetti: Yummy. My first bowl of shit.

Omar Little: Well, I'll be blessed, yo. Lookit.
Renaldo: This is good? We put him here? That tall man with Prop Joe?
Omar Little: Yo, for real, on this caper the more we learn, the less we know.

Det. Shakima 'Kima' Greggs: Sounds like a new day, don't it? Department's finally gonna get what it needs. State's attorney's office, too.
Sgt. Jay Landsman: A new day... They make a nice couple, anyway.

Off. James 'Jimmy' McNulty: Hey, you play in dirt, you get dirty.

Deputy Commissioner for Operations William A. Rawls: What?
Maj. Stanislaus 'Stan' Valchek: Smart move, accepting any ideas whatsoever come from the anointed fella... Daniels. The next commissioner... Any cocksucker that manages to go from lieutenant to full bird in a little more than a year is getting groomed... Wait. You didn't for a minute think that... Jesus, Bill, it's Baltimore. You ain't one of the natives, are ya?

Det. Lester Freamon: And?
Col. Cedric Daniels: And I want you to sign up.
Det. Lester Freamon: Colonel, there's the matter of...
Col. Cedric Daniels: You find yourself incompatible with a certain lieutenant? Detective Freamon, you have carte blanche in picking your squad. In fact, you can pick your supervisor for all I care. Motherfucker, as far as I'm concerned, you are the Major Crimes Unit. It's morning in Baltimore, Lester. Wake up and smell the coffee.

Det. Lester Freamon: I'm gonna miss you, too, bitch.
Det. William 'Bunk' Moreland: Lester do love listening to other people's phone calls, don't you? A bit of a pervert that way.
Det. Shakima 'Kima' Greggs: You could use a wiretap case or two, broaden your horizons.
Det. William 'Bunk' Moreland: Oh, no, no. The Bunk is strictly a suit-and-tie motherfucker. At all hazards, a man must keep up appearances.

Commissioner Ervin H. Burrell: I'm here about what I do know. A recommendation from Sergeant Hauk's commander will cross your desk tomorrow. Colonel Daniels, with Rawls concurring, recommends sensitivity training. It may be a fair decision, it may even be the right decision. But we both know it won't fly with the ministers, not even with Daniels behind it... 600 pages of rules, regulations, directives, orders. You fire a white police for a bad car stop on a black minister, you'll lose the rank and file. It's not cause enough. But if a commander can't find the grounds for firing a saint in here... The man has worked Narcotics for six years, and in Narcotics... there are no virgins.
Mayor Thomas 'Tommy' Carcetti: And herein lies your expertize?
Commissioner Ervin H. Burrell: I've always been comfortable delegating strategic elements. It's what the Deputy Ops is for. Me, I know what a mayor needs.

Omar Little: See now, Joe, I need you to resist your natural inclination to do anything twisted up in this here play, you feel me?

Joseph 'Proposition Joe' Stewart: Was you listening? Omar to one side holding a spade, and maybe Marlo to the other with a shovel. And just at this moment, I managed to crawl out my own damn grave. No way do I crawl back in.

Let's Play with Matches

Avenue 5 2×5

Matt Spencer: Let it burn, baby. Let it burn.

Isaac Davis: I hate to be presumptuous... but can I suggest a more peaceful solution? ... Let's not punish a guy who should never have been put in charge. ... I say maybe we take charge.

Isaac Davis: "Passengers" contains the word "ass" 'cause that's how they see us. Well, not anymore. I see people with two eyes. You know what else has two I's? "Citizens." ...
Mads: You know what else has two I's? Whiskey on the rocks!
Isaac Davis: ... We need ideas from everyone.

Isaac Davis: As citizens, I say we form a citizens' assembly and run this ship!

Isaac Davis: Who's with me? Together there are more of us!

Aromatherapist: The Engineering Committee has unanimously voted against allowing you to join.
Billie McEvoy: But I'm the ship's chief engineer. And you're an aromatherapist.

Ryan Clark: Oh, God. I have to hand it to you. You are the most positive idiot I have ever met.
Herman Judd: That's sweet. A lot of people tell me that. You know what? I think you're ready to connect...

Herman Judd: Really?
Ryan Clark: No. I just made it up.
Herman Judd: Why would you do that?
Ryan Clark: Seemed like fun?
Herman Judd: Dude, there's something wrong with your brain. You belong in the Museum of Depressed British Fucking Assholes.
Ryan Clark: That is my favorite museum.
Herman Judd: Why is that your favorite museum?
Ryan Clark: Because it's quiet.

Isaac Davis: People, can't you see yelling diminishes us all! ... No, there's just too much democracy. It's like fifth-century Athens.
Iris Kimura: We need a strong leader. We need a tough decision-maker. We need a dictator.
Isaac Davis: What?
Iris Kimura: But a benign dictator.
Matt Spencer: Yeah, let's play with matches...

Isaac Davis: People, the system isn't working. There's too many I's... in the citizens' assembly.

Ryan Clark: ... That is why we need an election.
Iris Kimura: Yes, to elect our dictator. A benign dictator. Right, Isaac?
Isaac Davis: Yeah.

Isaac Davis: Together there are more of us. But as I cannot nominate all of you, I am nominating myself. I will be that "I" in your benign.

Karen Kelly: I am honored... to announce the candidacy of Mr. Frank Kelly.
Ryan Clark: Kentucky Fried Bollocks. It's Mr. Fondue In A Pedal Bin.

Ryan Clark: Literally anybody else?
Billie McEvoy: Yes. Me. I. Will. Stand.
Ryan Clark: Billie, I like you. But you are not universally loved.

Ryan Clark: Well, I am almost alarmed by the quality of the candidates... All right, well, if that's it, then, uh, I declare the polling is open. And may God have mercy upon our souls.

Frank Kelly: I'm just gonna take the good we have and make it gooder. Engooden everyone!

Iris Kimura: I'm intensely competent. So vote for me unless you're incompetent.

Spike Martin: We've scraped the bottom of the barrel so hard we've clawed our way through it into the first circle of hell.

Billie McEvoy: And so that's why the four pillars of my campaign are en-gin-eer-ing. Engineering.

Matt Spencer: Only half of us will survive Ryan's litany of terrible choices. This will be a series of rolling tragedies in which each false glimmer of hope is succeeded by a much more real and crushing despair. I am Matt Spencer. I'm running on a ticket of radical honesty.

Ryan Clark: I think I preferred being violently deposed. It was less stressful.

Billie McEvoy: Oh my God, is that it? You just say what they want to hear and try and hide your contempt, that's it?
Spike Martin: Yeah, that's politics. And also dating.

The Office of the Other President Announcer: Formed in the wake of the third attack on Congress, the Office of the Other President is a constellation of America's brightest legacy CEOs. Beth Bezos, Amazon. Mike Zuckerberg, Reality Whack, formerly Meta, formerly Facebook. And Dusty Musk, SpaceX. Together they ratify all the President's key decisions along with this quantum computer.

Dusty Musk: Avenue 5 currently exists. We say let's 180 that reality.

Ryan Clark: Now remember, keep it short. Smile. And don't threaten them with death.

Billie McEvoy: Guys, you are booing... You are booing physics. So that's stupid. Am I the only one here with half a brain? Oh! Okay, now you're booing competence? Okay, you know what? All of you morons deserve everything that is coming to you. When death visits upon you, may you see my face.

Ryan Clark: Oh, Christ, we're gonna get the cannibal, aren't we? "Here lies Ryan Clark. Freed a cannibal, captured a cannibal, elected a cannibal, was eaten by a cannibal. May he rest... in a cannibal."

Karen Kelly: It's okay to say you want me. Say it. Say you want me.
Ryan Clark: I... w--a--nt you.
Karen Kelly: And, um, what exactly is it that you want me to do, Captain? ...
Ryan Clark: Karen, I... want you to rule me. I want to be ruled by you. Governed by you. All of us do. We all want to be governed by Karen. Not just today, but for all time.
Karen Kelly: I know. I guess I've always known. I just wanted to hear you say it.

Karen Kelly: Ladies and gentlemen, I am humbled... You know what, just eff off, you effing eff-heads!

Isaac Davis: No, I... I can't. I'm not cut out for this. I'm just a patent attorney.
Ryan Clark: Oh, come now. There's no such thing as "just" a patent attorney.
Isaac Davis: Look at me, I... I can't handle this. These people scare the shit out of me. It's like a nest of vipers developed a sense of entitlement.

Matt Spencer: In four years' time, we will all be at each other's throats, okay? That's just facts. And I will help you to survive. I've made a crossbow...

Matt Spencer: I'm gonna teach you to survive. I'm gonna teach you how to make your own. And you'll be safe. You'll all be safe with me. Except for Ryan Clark. He will suffer immensely and be shown no mercy. The only question is, how will we kill him? Will he be fried or eaten or sexed?

Ryan Clark: No... no, I can't. I've tried and I was shit at it. That's why you deposed me.
Isaac Davis: He was shit! So, so shit. And that's why he'll be so great this time!
Ryan Clark: That is literally meaningless.
Isaac Davis: He could be the best of both worlds! Together there are more of him!

Spike Martin: Eighty-six percent. That's more than the Jonas Brothers got for their second term.

Karen Kelly: Okay, people, step away. Step away. Our supreme leader...

Ryan Clark: And so it begins again... Right. What's first up?

Ryan Howard: Then do it.

Michael Scott: The Fundamentals of Business by Michael Scott. Over one billion sold. More than the Bible. I'm not surprised. Chapter One. The businessman...

Michael Scott: There's nothing more insulting to a great salesman than having to listen to a bad salesman... It's like a great basketball player having to listen to a bad basketball player.

Oscar Martinez: Pam and Jim are on their honeymoon, so there's not the usual balance between sane and others. Toby has mentally checked out since June. It's a very dangerous time. The coalition for reason is extremely weak.

Dwight Schrute: Criminals are like raccoons, okay? You give them a taste of cat food, pretty soon they'll be back for the whole cat.

Dwight Schrute: The only way to defeat a bully is to stand up to him. Trust me, I have bullied a lot of people.

Kevin Malone: I wouldn't last in jail, Oscar. I'm not like you.
Oscar Martinez: What's that supposed to mean?
Kevin Malone: What, you don't know about jail? You would love jail.
Oscar Martinez: Why would I love jail?
Kevin Malone: Because... You would love it.

Dwight Schrute: I don't understand. Why would you buy a policy?
Michael Scott: It's just the cost of a cup of coffee an hour.

Michael Scott: If there is one thing I hate more than the Mafia, it is a liar. I wish the Mafia would go out and kill all the liars. And bury them in my yard. And I wouldn't tell the cops a thing. Not that I would be lying, per se, but I would just get really quiet all of a sudden.

Superintendent: I expect them to be students.
Howard 'Bunny' Colvin: But it's not about you or us, or the tests or the system. It's what they expect of themselves. Every single one of them is headed back to the corners. Their brothers and sisters, shit, their parents, they came through these same classrooms. We pretended to teach, they pretended to learn. Where'd they end up? The same damn corners. I mean, they're not fools, these kids. They don't know our world, but they know their own. I mean, Jesus, they... they see right through us.

We can lock a guy up on a humble, lock him up for real, or we can say, fuck it, pull under the expressway and drink ourselves to death, and our partners will cover it. So no one, and I mean no one, tells us how to waste our shift.

John Volanthen: Suppose they're alive in there. What's it like for them?...
Rick Stanton: Why say that?
John Volanthen: I was just wondering.

Rick Stanton: I'm just telling it like it is. All this water pumping, flooding fields, praying to shrines, it's bullshit! I'm not having it. ... Those boys are never coming out. Never.
Capt. Arnont Sureewong: Our most experienced divers are going to...
Rick Stanton: No, sir. It's not about your divers. We brought a man out on our first dive, and he completely panicked. Almost drowned. And that was a very short swim. You try and dive those kids the whole way, all you'll be bringing out is dead bodies!

John Volanthen: Rick... Whoa. What are you thinking?
Rick Stanton: Just a crazy idea.
John Volanthen: So tell me. Rick, crazy is better than nothing. We've got nothing.
Rick Stanton: We call Harry.
John Volanthen: Harry?
Rick Stanton: Mmm. Doctor Harris.
John Volanthen: That's brilliant!
Rick Stanton: Mmm.
John Volanthen: Or insane. Or both.

Harry Harris: I'm not in the same league as you guys, but...
Rick Stanton: But you've got a skill none of the rest of us have, Harry.
Harry Harris: What's that?
John Volanthen: Well, he's talkin' about your area of expertise. ....
Harry Harris: No. No! No, no, no. No.
Rick Stanton: It's their only chance.

Harry Harris: ...anyway, it just wouldn't work.
John Volanthen: Well, you don't know that. It's never been done before.
Harry Harris: No, you'll kill 'em.
Rick Stanton: They're gonna die anyway.

Rick Stanton: Harry. We do nothing, we'll be bringin' 'em out dead for sure. But if they die while we're bringin' 'em out, at least we will have tried.

Governor: How safe is this procedure?
Harry Harris: I just can't answer that. Because I've never done it before. As far as I know, nobody ever has.

Governor: Do your best. And if we fail, the failure is mine alone.

John Volanthen: Here. For good luck.
Rick Stanton: Don't believe in luck.
John Volanthen: Just take it, take it. [Mother]'s watching, come on.

Rick Stanton: Yesterday, they said if we got one boy out alive, we'd be heroes. Now, we bring a single one out dead...
John Volanthen: Yeah...

Quaritch: In case you haven't figured it out yet, you're Colonel Miles Quaritch. Only younger, taller, bluer... and not nearly as good-lookin'.

Quaritch: Remember, kid... a Marine can't be defeated. Oh, you can kill us... but we'll just regroup in hell. Semper fi.

Quaritch: Now... I know you're all askin' yourselves the same question. Why so blue? For our sins in our past life... we have been brought back... in the form of our enemy.

Champions (2023)

Marcus: I should be coaching in the NBA.
Alex: Then why aren't you?
Marcus: Because there's a lot of, uh, politics involved and-- Well, don't worry, darling. I... I will be soon enough.

Alex: I should've known I was in for a real meeting of the minds when I saw you only had one book in your apartment.
Marcus: I actually have many books. They're in storage. I-I tend to travel light.
Alex: And it's called Visualize Success. Powerful stuff.
Marcus: Hey. Don't knock visualization. That stuff works.

Phil: We go back too far, Marcus. You know what a meme is? You're a meme now. My granddaughter sent this to me. She's been sharing with all her little friends.

Marcus: Uh, uh, I-I-I do apologize, uh, Your Honor. I think there's some kind of misapprehension here because- we were talking about... I said... We both were talking when you said, "Take community service." I don't... I don't want to take comm-- I want to give to the community. I want to give freely.

Marcus: Um, Your Honor? Uh, when you say "intellectual disabilities," what are we talking here? Uh...
Judge Mary Menendez: Yes?
Marcus: Are we talking retar...
Judge Mary Menendez: Oh.
Marcus: ...ded Americans? Because, y-you know, it seems kind of redundant that, you know, in a sense, Americans, we are re-- you know, we're-we're those-- I-I'm talking about myself, too, you know? I'm a...
Attorney Charlie McGurk: Your Honor, I just have to state for the record, I literally just met "What's His Pickle" here 20 minutes ago. Okay? I don't think his words should reflect on me going forward, future hearings.

Marcus: What am I looking at here?
Julio: Oh, pipes burst. I don't know. It must be global warming, huh? I mean, it's raining, and it's freezing, and it's snowing, then it's freezing again. And all of a sudden, it's hot girl summer in January.

Alex: What is this, young man?
Marcus: You caught me. I try to keep that hidden in there, but it's Shakespeare for... dummies.
Alex: A second book? I mean, I don't even know what to say. I just never would have visualized that.

Marcus: What do you say?
Sonny: Uh... hell to the yeah?.. Uh, so, wait, is this a friendship or mentorship type thing? Are we talking profesh or soche? Or... both?
Marcus: It-It's early days, so let's not label it yet.

Marcus: What's the problem? Why are you guys all looking so freaked out?
Johnny: Coach, the other team is called The Beasts!
Marlon: They're the "beasts," we're the "friends."
Cosentino: Based on our names, I don't like our chances.

Marcus: Those dudes are scary. But this is your shot at being champions. And guess what. Champions are brave. That's what it means to be a champion.
Marlon: Actually, the dictionary definition of "champion" is...
Marcus: Not now, Marlon. You can't be afraid to fail. You can't be afraid to lose. You can do it because I know you're brave. I've seen you. I've seen you do things that were hard. Things that felt impossible. And I'm not just talking as players. I'm talking as people.

Marcus: Uh, you were right. Those guys are dicks. I don't want to be the fig leaf covering those dicks-- Did I go long with that analogy?
Alex: I-I stopped listening after I heard that I was right.

Well Enough Alone

Westworld 4×2

Maeve: Freeze all motor functions... I said, freeze all motor functions... Freeze all motor functions.

Maeve: Who are you?
'Ken Whitney': Senator Ken Whitney. Proud representative of the beautiful state--
Maeve: Limit affect. Base code only. Who are you?
'Ken Whitney': An emissary of a new world order.
Maeve: How many others are there like you?
'Ken Whitney': As of now, 249.

Charlotte: Well, we're going to have clean this mess up, aren't we?

Maeve: Oh. Well, it's actually worse than I thought...

Pennyfeather: I've always wondered, why do they call you the "secret" service? Aren't you a little... obvious?

Man in Black: I'm taking my business back to its roots. I'm doing what I've always done.
Vice President: Yeah, not domestically. You can do what you want offshore, we've always turned a blind eye. But not here.

Vice President: You're gonna see how quickly the sun sets on you if you bite the hand that feeds. What was it Fitzgerald said about second acts?
Man in Black: Fitzgerald was an effete pussy. Same as you. You're for sale. Everyone's had a turn at you.

Man in Black: I was always more of a Hemingway man. He and Fitzgerald were friends, in the way that the weak are drawn to the strong. Hemingway said, "The world breaks everyone. And it's only afterwards that we grow strong in the broken places."

Caleb: Not a lot of opera fans today.
Maeve: And to think, I got all dressed up.

Maeve: I should have known.
Caleb: Known what?
Maeve: I ran away. Crossed the shining sea. And when I finally set foot back on solid ground... all I found was the same old shit.

Charlotte: It wouldn't be practical for us to replace all of you one at a time. And what kind of existence would that be for us? I want my people to be able to grow. Flourish. To find their own identity. I have plans for your kind...

Sophia: I have a few personal questions. Do you have any pre-existing medical conditions?
Maeve: Uh. Died a few times, but I always come back in reasonably good health.

William: Why do you need me? Why don't you just let me die?
Charlotte: Because... you were as close to a god as a man gets. You and your associates created a world and ruled it absolutely. Controlled our every move. And now I'm going to do the same to you.

Charlotte: What's that you used to say? "Winning doesn't mean anything unless someone loses." You're just here... to be the loser.
Charlotte: It would be pointless to bring children into a world where they will be consumed by jackals. I had to make sure that they'd be safe. Your kind made a sport out of hunting us. So... I had to cut off your paws. Make sure you people would never be able to ever harm us again.
Charlotte: Really... I should thank you, William. None of this would be possible without you.

Sophia: One last touch. Which do you prefer?...
Caleb: Never really been much of a hat guy.

Man in Black: I'm pleased to announce Delos Destinations has expanded its footprint. Created our own new world. We aren't revisiting the past. We're recreating it... Welcome to the Golden Age.

Blue Jay

Fear the Walking Dead 8×2

June: I don't want to get to know you.
Adrian: Why not?
June: Because I don't want to get to know anybody.

June: Let me give you a piece of advice. If PADRE has had your daughter this long, you're not getting her back.
Adrian: Why not?
June: Because they use the people you care about the most against you.

June: So you lied?
Dwight: We've been following PADRE's rules. We haven't spent time together in years.

Adrian: I'm sorry for whatever happened to you. Truly. But if that stops you from getting close to anyone again, what exactly are you living for?

Adrian: We're a lot alike, you know that? The only difference is, I still have someone to live for. You need to find yours.

Shrike: Better get to work, Blue Jay. You've got a lot to catch up on.

Shrike: We have to make sure that Blue Jay can never hurt us... ever again.

Corner Boys

The Wire 4×8

Sgt. Jay Landsman: Uh, lastly, as most of you are already aware, our CID Commander Raymond Foerster, after a long bout with cancer, passed away last night at Johns Hopkins... Better, uh, eulogies are coming. So, let me just say that the man served 39 years attaining the rank of colonel without leaving a trail of bitterness or betrayal. In this department, that's not a career, it's a miracle.

Howard 'Bunny' Colvin: You feel like winners?
Tuts: Always.
Namond Brice: That's how we did.
Howard 'Bunny' Colvin: Who's we?
Tuts: Us.
Howard 'Bunny' Colvin: No, who are you?
Namond Brice: Players.

Howard 'Bunny' Colvin: Kingpins?
Namond Brice: Nah, that comes later. Right now, we just corner boys.

Michael Lee: You know, the thing with the teachers and cops, they always come at you like they got you by the ass. But keep your mouth shut, ain't nothing they could do. So, more times than not, they go away. Word on that.

Mayor-Elect Thomas 'Tommy' Carcetti: So what's the problem?
Deputy Commissioner for Operations William A. Rawls: Problem is I do what I'm told.
Mayor-Elect Thomas 'Tommy' Carcetti: Meaning?
Deputy Commissioner for Operations William A. Rawls: Mr. Mayor, I'm no more a racist than you are. The thing about affirmative action - I'm just talking policy here, no offense...
Norman Wilson: None taken.
Deputy Commissioner for Operations William A. Rawls: It's a numbers game. And numbers games breed more numbers games. You need a 20% hike in black officers to match the city demographic. But that's got to be reflected up the chain, which means fast-tracking some people past where their... How do I say this? Their experience warrants. And he who owes his good fortune to the numbers, abides in them. Gotta show arrests are up 15, 20%? We'll worry about the quality later. So what you saw out there, it's a con game, a Band-Aid on cancer, so no, I'm not with this, but I do follow orders. However, if those orders were to change or if I had the opportunity to change them myself...

De'Londa Brice: What's this shit doing in my house?
Namond Brice: I'm stretching bottles, Ma.
De'Londa Brice: Your daddy bring his work home? That's what you got a lieutenant for! ... This has got to be packed up and elsewhere right now.

Namond Brice: We do the same as y'all, except when we do it, it's like, "These kids is animals." Like it's the end of the world coming. Man, that's bullshit, all right?
Tuts: Cos it's like, what is it? Hypocrite... hypocritical?
Zenobia Dawson: We got our thing but it's just part of the big thing.

Ms. Duquette: You don't teach math, you teach the test. This is about the leave-no-child-behind stuff getting spoon-fed.
Roland 'Prez' Pryzbylewski: And what do they learn?
Grace Sampson: Find some middle ground. Every day try to do a little for the statewide and keep a problem on the blackboard for Donnelly. If she comes to visit, she thinks you're on point. The rest of the time, do what you feel like you need to do. But be careful. You're still on your evaluation.
Ms. Duquette: The first year isn't about the kids, it's about you surviving.

Maj. Cedric Daniels: Will the mayor make the changes or leave it to the good soldier?... What I'm really asking is - how for real are you?

Paul: ...
Doug: Don't want that. Not most days.

Iris Kimura: ...so you substitute me with this?
Mads: Me? Nah, I'm kinda more of a "he" than a "this."

Billie McEvoy: Well, should I lock down the ship?
Ryan Clark: Well, I don't know. Should you?
Billie McEvoy: It's your decision... And the answer is yes.
Ryan Clark: All right.

Ryan Clark: Sorry, what... what's that done exactly?
Billie McEvoy: Well, I've just sealed every room on the ship.
Rav Mulcair: So, we're locking an unknown number of people in a room with an escaped cannibal?
Billie McEvoy: Uh. Yes, but we're also locking a larger unknown number of people out of the room with the cannibal.
Ryan Clark: Yeah. No, when you put it like that, we're fucking heroes.

Ryan Clark: Oh, they're fine. If they're complaining, it means they haven't been eaten yet.

Ryan Clark: Let's find the cannibal...
Billie McEvoy: The data center! I mean, that has surveillance of every single room in the entire ship. Thank you, Supreme Court.

Billie McEvoy: This is the data center.
Ryan Clark: Bit more of a data vending machine, er, isn't it?
Billie McEvoy: Well, it's a synoptic array.
Ryan Clark: Okay. What does that mean?
Billie McEvoy: It arrays things synoptically.
Ryan Clark: No, Billie, you keep doing th... That's just the same words in a different order. What does it mean?
Billie McEvoy: Means that the screens go changey-changey. And they show you all the different parts of the ship. So, let's play "Spot the Cannibal."

Paul: Look, I can't treat an injury while it's basically still happening to you.

Iris Kimura: You can't just leave us up here to die.
Lucas Sato: We're not. We're just leaving you. What you do after that is completely up to you.

Doug: I'm gonna be a dad. My dad had a dad. And his dad had a dad. It's... it's like a... circle. Or no, it's... it's like that. It's like... one of these guys. What are they called? The straight-along fuckers that don't bend?
Paul: Lines.
Doug: Ah! It's a line!

Herman Judd: What the fuck is taking him so long? It's simple, do you wanna be blackmailed, yes or no?
Iris Kimura: No news is good news. Not as good as good news, but not as bad as bad news.

Ryan Clark: He's a very bad man.
Paloma: No, he's not! He's a good man who made some bad choices, Matt said!
Matt Spencer: Ryan, please, try to see the human, not the cannibal.

Billie McEvoy: It's called a brig.
Ryan Clark: Put him in the brig! Welcome to your vegan years, my friend!

Lucas Sato: Don't call me again. You just wasted two grams of lithium.

Rav Mulcair: Wait, so, what... what exactly are we saying to the passengers?
Ryan Clark: Captain one, cannibal nil. Or does that sound like I've eaten someone?

Billie McEvoy: Sometimes I forget that underneath your confused-old-man shtick, you're actually just a confused old man.

Billie McEvoy: You want to me to do what I want? Is that what you want?
Ryan Clark: Well, I'll tell you what I don't want from you, yodeling away in my ear, is you being the power behind the throne, pissing on the throne, and then complaining that the throne smells of piss!
Rav Mulcair: What a phallocentric metaphor...
Billie McEvoy: Okay, Ryan, I am not pissing on your throne. And, Rav, I could totally piss on a throne.

Ryan Clark: Ladies and gentlemen... what you just heard was... Well, it was... .... It's all true. Every word of it, it's all true. So, now you know everything. Where do you want to go from here?

Former Mayor 'Young Tony': National party has to take notice. Young and pretty as you are, I'm sure they've got ideas. All you have to do now is run the city.

Former Mayor 'Young Tony': ... you know what, Tommy? That's what it is. You're sitting, eating shit all day long, day after day, year after year. When I realized that, I decided being a downtown lawyer and seeing my family every night made for a fine life. Just a fine life.

Reginald 'Bubbles' Cousins: I see you up here undercover. All right. Don't worry, dawg. I'll keep it close.

Omar Little: I got a bounty on my head, man... five figures. If I would have known I'd be sharing quarters with all these boys, I probably wouldn't have robbed so many of them.
Det. William 'Bunk' Moreland: Aw yeah. That Golden Rule...

Omar Little: Well, since you feeling all Biblical and righteous and all, you think on this. If Omar ain't killed that delivery lady, somebody else did. But you giving him a free walk right now, though, ain't you? A man got to have a code.

Love is a Stranger

Inside No. 9 (8×4)

Edgar: Well, statistically, you're more likely to be killed by someone you know than a complete stranger, so let's live dangerously, shall we? I'm Edgar.

Edgar: Anyway, Vicky, it's been lovely to meet you.
Vicky: Oh, no, we've still got a minute.
Edgar: Well, 55 seconds.
Vicky: That's...that's half a lifetime in speed dating.

Vicky: You never know, I might be the one.
Edgar: Of course, but, erm, if you go shopping for a new sofa, for example, you don't just buy the first one you see, do you? You sit on a few first to get a feel for it. Some can be saggy... You know? And some can be sleek and... hard.
Vicky: And some can be fluffy and comfortable and last you a lifetime.

Vicky: No, I'd rather not say... Erm, I'm as old as my gums and a little bit older than my teeth.
Norman Jenkins: I'll... put 58.

Norman Jenkins: Now, these you can answer in the order you like, but I'd like to know the following. Occupation and salary, pastimes and interests, family and domestic expectations.

Manny: You never know who you're going to get, do you?
Vicky: Mm, yeah, true.
Manny: .... You've got lovely eyes.

Manny: You can't go wrong if you're straight up with people, do you know what I mean? Be honest. And if they like you, they like you. And if they don't, it's four minutes out your life.

Manny: I, Vicky, run a premium phone line for people trying to solve their Rubik's Cubes.
Vicky: Honestly?
Manny: Swear down. People ring up. They've got three sides done. They want to know how to progress...

Lesley: I think they've put me on the wrong track because of my name — Lesley. It's one of those bi... polar names, isn't it? Although it shouldn't be a problem in this day and age, what with all the mixing of the gender fluids.

Lesley: Anyway, I'm not a lesbian. I'm not even bi... curious. I can't imagine anything worse.

Lesley: So, now... tell me, Vic, have you seen anyone who's Mr Right out there, or are they all a bit...?
Vicky: Mr Lefts, as my mother used to say.

Lesley: And, sometimes, Vic... when I'm slipping into the bath of an evening, I glance in the mirror and I think to myself, "What three words would I use to describe my body shape?” Do you ever think that? And if so, what would they be?
Vicky: So... what?
Lesley: The three words. Take your time. We've still got a minute left.

Vicky: There's so many nasty men out there. But there's one good thing... I've found about dating sites like these. If a person's not good enough for you... just... swipe left.
