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.

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.

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.

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?...

Nothing Ever Changes Around Here

Lucifer 6×1

Lucifer: Yes, I wasn't paying enough attention to the road, and I apologize. I've got a lot on my mind. This is... my last night in LA.

Lucifer: I used to work for the LAPD... Crime-solving devil. It was great fun, but that's over now. Since the war... Fought against my brother and his host of angels for the throne of Heaven. It was all very biblical. ... I won, but not without having to fly to the Silver City to save my girlfriend, burn up, prove to myself I was worthy, stop burning and... Yeah, anyway, long story short, now I'm the Big Man. ... I still have to ascend to the Silver City and sit on the throne. I do that tomorrow.

Chloe: You know, magic for our last night?
Lucifer: Well, what could be more magical than magic?
Chloe: I don't know. Isn't magic just a little goofy?
Lucifer: Goofy? It's skill, cunning and deception without telling a lie. What's not to love?

Lucifer: Chloe, you are a truth-seeker. That's what made you a great detective. But me, I'm a wonder-seeker.
Chloe: You seek wonder?
Lucifer: Well, also drugs, debauchery and now certain extinct whiskeys but yes...

Linda: Yeah, well, it's not every day that my best friend and her girlfriend depart this mortal plane to rule Hell.

Linda: So, Eve, have you, um, ever actually been there?
Eve: Mnh-mnh, I have not. But what an amazing adventure, huh? From Heaven to Hell and everywhere in between.

Ella: You guys are absolutely adorbs. I really do miss you.юю Family business, I get it. You're in my prayers. For what that's worth.
Lucifer: What do you mean, for what that's worth? I thought that was worth a lot to you, Miss Lopez. Another crisis of faith?
Ella: Oh, no, that... that was so two years ago. I... I definitely still believe. It's just... Uh, okay, this might sound absolutely crazy, but lately, I've been praying a lot, and it feels like nobody's listening. Like the Big Guy's just not there or something-- I know. It's so dodo-headed. I mean, like, as if that could really happen, right? No way!

Ella: ... the killer is still in the building. Locked room mystery, you guys.

Carol Corbett: And up until recently, you consulted for the LAPD?
Lucifer: Mm-hmm.
Carol Corbett: You also claim that you're the Devil?
Lucifer: Was the Devil. God now. Well, nearly.

Amenadiel: I'm joining the police force!... I've been in the police academy for a while now, and it's, uh, going well.

Lucifer: When you said you didn't feel God's presence anymore... I mean, is that such a bad thing?
Ella: Uh, yeah, dude. I mean, being ever-present is God's whole thing. That's what makes the Big Guy the Big Guy. He's always there.
Lucifer: Right, but surely he can't be always there. I mean, doesn't God have personal matters to attend to? The odd round of golf or spending time with loved ones?..
Ella: That's the best part. He's not like you and me. We are all God's loved ones. And no matter what He's doing, the only thing, the only thing that God cares about is caring about us... It doesn't matter who you are or what you've done... He is there for everyone. Or at least, he's supposed to be.
Lucifer: Indeed.

Chloe: Can you please?
Lucifer: Ugh. When in Rome. Tell me, Duran Duran... what is it you truly desire?

Eve: I don't wanna go to Hell either. I just thought going home would make you happy.
Mazikeen: I don't need to go home to be happy. You're my Hell.

Lucifer: Once the detective, always the detective.

Chloe: You are worthy of your father's legacy.
Lucifer: This isn't so much an issue of worth. It's... more an issue of job description. God needs to be selfless. He needs to care about all of humanity.
Chloe: You... you died for me. What could be more selfless than that?
Lucifer: Well, you see, that's just it. I love you, Chloe Decker. I'd do anything for you. Except give you up. Give us up.

Creed II (2018) <<

Bianca Creed: I think, as parents, it's actually our responsibility to teach her how to assess her emotions.
Adonis Creed: So you want Amara, right, to hold hands with this bully and start talking about her feelings? That's not real life.

Damian Anderson: It's like this, bro. I respect you... but my clock tickin'. It's now or never for me.
Adonis Creed: And I wanna help you, like I said I would. But, man, what you asking me, it's... it's kinda impossible.
Damian Anderson: You don't know what it's like, bro. All that time in them... in them walls. Impossible? They take your name. And they give you a number. That's how it start...

Adonis Creed: Most people think it's about violence but it's not. It's timing and focus and...
Amara Creed: Control?

Mary-Anne Creed: You were so mad. Gonna knock everybody out, one by one. Just like your father. That's why he fought so hard. You know that, right?
Adonis Creed: Yeah.
Mary-Anne Creed: But you... you don't have to do that. You can find another way.

Bianca Creed: I just made a choice to try to move on and be happy about what I do have. But it's not easy. I just try.

Adonis Creed: ...when he went down, I didn't reach out. I never called. I didn't write. After a while, it felt easier to pretend like I forgot. You know, just... act like it never happened.

Tony 'Little Duke' Burton: Listen... You out there boxing. I need you to start fighting. Go out there and do what we came to do.

Tony 'Little Duke' Burton: Let go of the fear. You hear me? Let go of the guilt. Let go of it, dawg. Let go of whatever was and walk into what is.

A Life Well Lost

Outlander 7×1

Young Ian: Uncle Jamie?
Jamie Fraser: Let's go get my wife.

Sadie Ferguson: What ails you, Mistress?
Claire Fraser: I could not tell her what it was. Could not say that I knew just how long this war would last, that the courts would likely remain closed for years to come, and we would languish here without rescue.

Brianna Mackenzie: What do you even say to a preacher? "Break a leg" doesn't seem right. "God luck"?

Reverend McMillan: Could we offer you some comfort through the word of God? The future Reverend MacKenzie was at the Battle of Alamance.
Recruit: Doin' what, exactly? Carryin' the white flag of surrender? Bible verse ain't gonna help us. Knowin' how to wield a knife, use our fists, maybe. There's nothin' in your holy book about that. What advice can these devil-dodgers give us, eh?
Roger Mackenzie: ... "Float like a butterfly. Sting like a bee." And God will surely go with thee.
Wendigo Donner: Ali.
Roger Mackenzie: What did you just say?
Wendigo Donner: Muhammad Ali.

Claire Fraser: Are you taking all of these tonics at once, Mrs. Martin?
Mrs. Martin: One at breakfast, another after luncheon. When the fever comes on, I use the East Indian Chaulmoogra.
Claire Fraser: Perhaps we can find you something more suitable...
Mrs. Martin: What if it's the tertian ague?
Claire Fraser: It's not.
Mrs. Martin: Shouldn't you be letting my blood? There's a fleam and bowl over there. Unless...

Jamie Fraser: Tom. Is that a whisky in yer hand?
Tom Christie: I have wrestled with my demons. But it's you. It's always you. You are the answer to my prayer.

Tom Christie: I have yearned always for love, given and returned. I've spent my life in the attempt to give my love to those who are not worthy of it. Allow me this... to give my life for the sake of one who is.

Richard Brown: You're a good man. A moral man.
Jamie Fraser: I'm also a violent man.

Living (2022)

Peter Wakeling: Well, I hope to make a difference. It may take a week or two though...
Rusbridger: Don't worry, old chap. This time of morning, it's a kind of rule. Not too much fun and laughter. Rather like church.

Margaret Harris: If your skyscraper isn't very tall, or, God forbid, you work so fast you don't have one at all, people will suspect you of not having anything very important to do.
Peter Wakeling: I see.
Margaret Harris: So here's your first rule, Mr Wakeling. Keep the skyscraper high.

Doctor Matthews: The results have come back. I'm afraid this time they're pretty conclusive... It's never easy, this.
Williams: Quite.

Williams: You see my problem. I withdrew this cash and came down here to... Enjoy myself, or live a little, as you put it. But I realise... I don't know how.

Hattie: If he's ill, then this ain't good for him.
Sutherland: Hattie, you don't understand. This man, until yesterday was living a shell of an existence, has sprung to life. Look. He even has a new hat.

Williams: Mr what?
Margaret Harris: Mr Zombie. I saw a film about it with what's her name. Erm... Zombies are sort of like Egyptian mummies, but they can walk and go about doing things. They're sort of dead but not dead.

Margaret Harris: Mr Williams... I'm... I'm just an ordinary person like everybody else. I... I have no such special quality. I try to stay cheerful.

Williams: What was it, your name for me?
Margaret Harris: Mr Zombie.
Williams: Yes. Mr Zombie. I wasn't always. When I was your age, from when I was this high, what I wanted... was to be a gentleman. Nothing grand. Just a rank and file sort of gentleman. I used to see them in the mornings, all lined up at the railway station, whenever I went there with my mother in their suits and hats, waiting on the platform to go into London. A gentleman like that. That's what... That's what I longed to be one day.
Margaret Harris: How did it happen?
Williams: I fancy it just crept up on me. Just one day proceeding the next. A small wonder I didn't notice... what I was becoming. And then I looked at you. And I remembered... what it was like to be alive like that.

Williams: I have no wish to belittle our playground... but I put it to you that it was, all the same... a small thing. And that it will, before long... go the way of most small things. It may fall into disrepair, or be superseded by some grander scheme. To speak plainly, we cannot assume to have erected a lasting monument. Should there come days when it's no longer clear to you to what end you are directing your daily efforts, when the sheer grind of it all threatens to reduce you to the kind of state in which I so long existed... I urge you then to recall our little playground, and the modest satisfaction that became our due upon its completion.

Beef 1×1

Danny Cho: That's what's wrong with the world today, man. They want you to feel like you have no control. You know? Like you're gonna eat shit with a smile on your face or some shit. Fuck that, dude. Fuck it, man! I don't wanna... I'm so sick of smiling, dude.

Amy Lau: It was 4:00 a.m. and the whole city was silent. No meetings. No e-mails. No pretending. It was just you and me. And there was nothing wrong anywhere in the entire universe. I wish we could've stayed there...

Amy Lau: Hey, you're not some kind of weirdo, right? 'Cause if you are, you should know that I own a gun.

Amy Lau: Fuck. There's always something.
Danny Cho: Yes. There's always something.
Amy Lau: It's, like, you work so hard for so long just to provide for your family, right?
Danny Cho: Yeah. If not you, then who's gonna?
Amy Lau: Yeah, exactly.
Danny Cho: Yeah.
Amy Lau: And then at some point, you think you'd get to relax, but no. There's too much moisture, so now I gotta redo these fucking cabinets. I gotta redo the roof probably, and then by the time I'm done, I'm running out of money, the kitchen's out of style, and the whole time, all I wanted was a fucking hot tub.
Danny Cho: You have a timeless kitchen. So I think you're okay.

A Good Person (2023)

Daniel: It's better to be a half-hour early than one minute late.

Daniel: And what kind of a punch was that? You throw this hard right hook and then you leave yourself wide open for the jab. We're gonna have to work on that.

Becka: Karl Marx was wrong. Turns out the opiate of the masses is opium.

Allison: I just wanna get as far away from here as possible.
Diego: Yo, there's this app, it tells you the exact opposite of where you are on the globe is. That's where you should go. I'll look it up for you...
Mark: Yo, that's how I feel every fuckin' day of my life. I can't seem to escape this town. It's like there's a force field around it or something. Like, some people know how to get outta here. But the rest of us, we just keep banging our heads up against the glass.
Diego: ...It's Perth. That's the city on the other side of the globe from here. You should go to Perth.

Mark: Come on. Say it, say it, say it. "I'm a fucking junkie." You might like it.
Allison: Fuck you. It's a pill.
Mark: It's heroin in a pretty little dress.
Allison: I thought you were the nice one.

Daniel: You're grounded. You hear me? You're grounded until... Shit, I can't think of when you won't be grounded.

Daniel: ... to this day, every time I see him, I beg for his forgiveness. It's just a little dance we do. A mere formality. Because we both know... that there are some things that are just impossible to forgive. I do believe even God knows that.

Allison: ... That was just a little serenade for your people from the heavens above.
Daniel: Think that's one of the reasons I enjoy it so much.
Allison: Why? 'Cause you get to play God?
Daniel: Well, so much of my life has been outta control. Down here, I get to decide if Olivia chooses me. I get to decide if my father comes to pick me up at the station when I get home...
Allison: Did he?

Daniel: You know what they say.
Diane: What?
Daniel: "Comparison is the thief of joy."
Diane: Oh. I didn't know they said that.
Daniel: Well... somebody did.

Daniel: This isn't how it was supposed to be... I'm a good person. I never said God has to be fair. I just never thought he could be this cruel.

Danny Boy (2021)

Gavin Wood: Let's see what you're made of... It begins with R, Brian!
Brian Wood: Resilience.

Brian Wood: I'm here today to tell you all about the realities of war. And maybe one of the realities of war is it's not so easy to stand up and talk about it. And you're gonna have guys out there who are making a big song and dance about what they did getting their names in the paper. Good luck to them. I'll let you make your own judgment about that. I've got nothing to say about that.

Brian Wood: You know what I was focusing on? Eh? Anyone? I wasn't thinking about being brave being a hero, or winning medals. I was focusing on destroying the enemy and keeping myself and my men alive. I was fighting my own fight.

Phil Shiner: Thanks for coming up to the office to see me. It'll give you a chance to see the job the way it really is... Of course, I'm too bloody busy to get up to the university at the moment.
     Some of you will end up in big fuck-off law practices in the City with smoked glass and neck massages but the vast majority of lawyers work like this. You'll need to get your brains around that. ...
     My advice is go running do yoga, start flower-arranging. Anything to give you a sense of perspective. This job will eat you up and spit you out if you're not careful.

Phil Shiner: Er, right. So, you want to be human rights lawyers. What's the first quality you're going to need? Hm?. .... A thick skin. You're going to need a thick skin. ... Because some of the things we might be doing-- Because people will tear you up. Politicians, the press, the establishment. It doesn't matter how clear it is to you that human rights are sacrosanct and you have a duty to protect them whoever's they might be. Other people will tell you different. They'll tell you you're a bleeding heart they'll tell you you're naive they'll tell you you're money-grubbing. Why do they say those things? Hm? .... Because now and then you're going to have to tell them things they really don't want to hear. And here's one of them. British soldiers get away with murder.

Gavin Wood: Hey. For 300 years this family served this country. Twelve generations. Those guys... they're right here with us.

Brian Wood: Y'know, I'm only here cos of what two guys did out there.
Gavin Wood: What, your mates had your back?
Brian Wood: It was Iraqis. Could've killed me, but didn't. What sort of soldier's that? What sort of soldier won't even fire his weapon?
Gavin Wood: Brian--
Brian Wood: What sort of soldier wears flipflops and a dishdash?
Gavin Wood: Brian. You might only be here because of those two guys, but you are here.
Brian Wood: No.
Gavin Wood: No?
Brian Wood: I'm here because they didn't do what I did.

Brian Wood: You said you'd have killed if you had to. Well, that's when you decide who's who. That moment decides for you.

Brian Wood: Killing someone's one thing. Picking them up after, looking them in the eye...
Falconer: Tell you what I don't see. I don't see any village elders who sent these kids out here with rifles against a company full of tanks and Warriors.

Phil Shiner: Anything else?
Deena Aayari: As I'm reading, I'm trying to put myself in the position of the Army soldiers.
Phil Shiner: Useful exercise.
Deena Aayari: If you're fired up and you've been shot at and you're charging across a field and someone puts their hands up... where does the war bit stop and the arrest and restraint bit start? ... What happens after the war bit stops? It's grey... It's a grey area.

Deena Aayari: The arrangements we used to gather our witnesses the fact that we've operated through a middleman some of the financial arrangements...
Phil Shiner: What?
Deena Aayari: Well... is all of that definitely OK?
Phil Shiner: We literally had no choice. Either we let the killings of 20 potentially innocent Iraqis go unchallenged, or we do what we did. What choice did we have? If we win, it'll all be forgotten. If we lose, it'll all be irrelevant.

Gavin Wood: You see, when you join the Army you're part of something massive. You know, "We're all in this together." But see, when it comes to the knocks you take, we're... we're all a closed book.
Brian Wood: OK.
Gavin Wood: I'm not a good example, Brian. And that hurts me. It hurts me to see you following that example.

Gavin Wood: I said to your mother, I said I couldnae even contemplate... Aye, sure, I served 23 years but I cannae even contemplate what my son went through. I'm in awe of that. I have no experience of that. And that hurts, as a father. I sent you places I've never been.
Brian Wood: You were there, Dad. You were there.

Triage

Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan 4×1

Jack Ryan: Meaning... it's an ongoing process.
President Bachler: Careful, Ryan, you keep using lines like that, and you're ready for politics.
Jack Ryan: God forbid... No offense.

Jack Ryan: It terrifies me. The CIA is a perfect microcosm of the American people, which means we are in danger of being splintered. More easily controlled by outside interests, both foreign and domestic. Interests that intend to use the Agency for their own advantage.

Cathy Mueller: Girlfriend number two?... Oh, shit. Almost. Boyfriend number one.

Jim Greer: She came over here to lift you up, huh?
Jack Ryan: Something like that.
Jim Greer: Well, I came over here to knock you down.

Domingo Chavez: Just remember to consider the chickens.
Lt Morales: The chickens?
Domingo Chavez: I'll feed you all you want, but the day you ask for more than seeds is the day I chop your head off in front of your fucking family.

Jack Ryan: ...if we want any chance ... there's only one option. I'm gonna shut them all down. Cut off the money.
Elizabeth Wright: Well, is that a question or a statement?
Jack Ryan: Statement.
Elizabeth Wright: ... Go ahead.

Domingo Chavez: ...they're not Chinese. They're from the jungles of Burma. It's a mix of backgrounds and experiences. They're like pirates, except they're worth ten times what we are, and they've kept it that way for a thousand years. You know how? Respect and honor above everything. Even death.

Elizabeth Wright: Please continue. What were you saying?
Adebayo 'Ade' Osoji: I was saying that the death of President Udoh has emboldened Ekon Ameh, the Nigerian warlord...
Elizabeth Wright: I know who he is.
Adebayo 'Ade' Osoji: And it's only a matter of time before his supporters take out the new president.
Elizabeth Wright: So what would you suggest? We provide support for the new president?
Adebayo 'Ade' Osoji: Only if you can dispel him of his nationalistic leanings. That was the policy of Nazi Germany. Now in the past, we could rely on America to intervene, but... now you've become too scared to do the right thing.
Elizabeth Wright: And what is the right thing?
Adebayo 'Ade' Osoji: To not look away.

Crooked House (2017)

Charles Hayward: Is everything all right?
Edith de Haviland: Do you know anything about moles?
Charles Hayward: No. I'm afraid not.
Edith de Haviland: I have an arsenal of other weapons, of course, traps, poisons. Sometimes I use holly. It pricks them, do you see? Makes them bleed. Moles are hemophiliacs. Little bleeders. Like some European royals. Though I do find a shotgun best expresses my feelings.

Sophia Leonides: We're a very odd family, Charles. There's lots of ruthlessness in us and different kinds of ruthlessness. That's what's so disturbing. The different kinds.

Charles Hayward: Anything you'd like to tell me?
Josephine Leonides: Not yet. You see, I read detective stories. And a good detective will take time to gather evidence... and question everyone before solving a case. The murderer is never the one you initially suspect.

Edith de Haviland: [Aristide Leonides was a] little man, Mr. Hayward, who cast a large shadow. A very large and rather crooked shadow.

Josephine Leonides: Did you find many clues?
Charles Hayward: You know, Josephine... the first round of interrogation is not so much about finding clues... as it is about getting a sense of who you're dealing with.

Charles Hayward: May I ask you a blunt question?
Edith de Haviland: They're the only interesting kind.
Charles Hayward: What's wrong with people in this house?
Edith de Haviland: It is a blunt question indeed.
Charles Hayward: Sorry.
Edith de Haviland: Don't be. Passion. It is a hothouse of suppressed passion. This is what happens when the person you love the most in the world... who you would give your life for... is actually the same person that you hate the most... I'm certain you understand, Mr. Hayward. You wouldn't be in this house yourself otherwise, would you?

Charles Hayward: Any of them could've done it. They all had means. They all had opportunity.
Chief Inspector Taverner: Motive?
Charles Hayward: Anger, jealousy, love, greed. Take your pick.
Chief Inspector Taverner: So no communist? No Las Vegas mafia? No CIA conspiracy? We're investigating too. Quietly. But you can go in the house without a warrant. Get back in there and find out who killed the bloody midget.

Josephine Leonides: I hear you're making progress. But you won't be the one who solves this case. If anything, you're Watson.
Charles Hayward: Is that right? Well, why don't you enlighten me, Holmes?

Josephine Leonides: I'd say we're due another murder. Don't you think, Watson?
Charles Hayward: Another murder, Holmes?
Josephine Leonides: Well, there's always a second murder. Someone who knows something is bumped off... before they can reveal what they know.

Edith de Haviland: Well, then, Charles. How about a blunt question for you, then? What are murderers like?
Charles Hayward: Well, you. And me. Everyone. Hot-blooded. Cold-blooded. They do share one or two traits. Vanity. A distorted morality. A lack of empathy. And murderers tend to feel that they are above... the rules and laws that govern ordinary mortals.
Magda Leonides: Well, that description fits every member of this family.

Edith de Haviland: Well... always leave a party at its height... when you're most enjoying it.

Charles Hayward: You listen to me. I daresay you are extremely clever. It won't be much good to you if you're not alive long enough to enjoy the fact. Don't you understand, you foolish child, that so long as you insist... on keeping secrets, you put yourself in imminent danger?
Josephine Leonides: Of course I do. But in some books, person after person is killed. You end by spotting the murderer because he or she... is practically the only person left. We must see what happens next.

Tetris (2023)

Eddie: What's it called?
Henk Rogers: Tetris.
Eddie: Tetris... I don't get it.
Henk Rogers: It's a combination of tetra, Greek for "four"... All the game's pieces are variants of four... and tennis.
Eddie: Tennis?
Henk Rogers: Tennis. Yeah, supposedly, the Russian inventor, he, um... he likes tennis.

Tracy: Here, Henk. Try it.
Henk Rogers: Was this coded in Pascal, or C?

Henk Rogers: But, Eddie, I played Tetris for five minutes, yeah. I still see falling blocks in my dreams. This game isn't just addictive. It stays with you. It's poetry. Art and math all working in magical synchronicity. It's… It's the perfect game.

Henk Rogers: But, Eddie, this is different. Tetris is already a hit.
Eddie: Where?
Henk Rogers: Russia.
Eddie: Henk, there is no video games business in Russia.
Henk Rogers: I know.

Henk Rogers: It all began with a guy named Alexey Leonidovich Pajitnov, four years ago. By day, he worked as a programmer for the government at the Soviet Computer Science Center. But by night, he invented games for fun. His computer, a Stone Age, Soviet piece of crap called an Electronika 60, didn't even have a graphics card. His falling blocks were parentheses pushed together.

Henk Rogers: Alexey and a couple of buddies from work made the game IBM-compatible. Which meant color graphics, 8-bit music and floppy disks that people copied and shared for free. It spread like wildfire.

Henk Rogers: But this is the Soviet Union, remember? Nothing gets out easily. It would take an entrepreneur to actually go there and monetize it.
Eddie: Who? You?
Henk Rogers: Jesus, no. I'm not that crazy. That was Robert Stein.

Hiroshi Yamauchi: Not too bad.
Henk Rogers: Really?

Hiroshi Yamauchi: We publish our games in-house. We don't use outside partners.
Henk Rogers: You don't do it often, true. But you do make exceptions. Because you know as well as I do, partners are what make us great. That's why Mario has Luigi. That's why Zelda has Link. That's why Mike Tyson has whoever he's punching out in Punch-Out!!

Henk Rogers: This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Eddie. Nintendo is letting me become a publisher. Nintendo. It's a license to print money.

Henk Rogers: An NDA? Why?
Howard Lincoln: Because only ten other people in the world have seen what you're about to see, and, to be honest, we don't trust you.

Henk Rogers: 8-bit graphics?
Minoru Arakawa: Yes, and a brand-new Sharp LR35902 core at 4.19 mega-hertz with eight kilobytes internal RAM.
Henk Rogers: Impressive. No color screen?
Minoru Arakawa: Color, you'd need eight batteries instead of four. It's too expensive. This gives you 30 hours of game play, all for $89.
Henk Rogers: What's it called?
Howard Lincoln: It's called the Game Boy.

Henk Rogers: Gentlemen, if you wanna sell a couple hundred thousand Game Boys to little kids, package them with Mario. But if you wanna sell millions of Game Boys to absolutely everyone, young and old, around the world, package them with Tetris.
Howard Lincoln: Can you get us the rights?

Henk Rogers: Screw it. I'm gonna go to Moscow.
Howard Lincoln: Wait, wait, wait. Hold on, you can't just go to the Soviet Union, Henk. You need a... You need a business visa, a full background check. It takes months.
Henk Rogers: Well, I'll get a tourist visa then.
Howard Lincoln: So, you'll lie? That's a felony. They could throw you in jail.
Henk Rogers: I'll take my chances.

Howard Lincoln: Who you gonna talk to?
Henk Rogers: Some company called ELORG.
Howard Lincoln: Companies don't exist in the USSR, Henk. ELORG is probably KGB.
Henk Rogers: Do you guys want this game or not?
Howard Lincoln: Yeah, course we do. But you're walking into a communist country that still considers America enemy numero uno. If you go, we can't protect you.
Henk Rogers: Okey dokey then.

Immigration Agent: You're Danish?
Henk Rogers: Huh? No. I'm Dutch.
Immigration Agent: Yet you sound American.
Henk Rogers: Well, I grew up in New York, but I'm Dutch. An... And I live in Japan.

Sasha: Salutations. You're in need of succor?
Henk Rogers: Excuse me?
Sasha: Uh, succor. Noun. Uh, assistance in times of stress. Synonymous with help... Sasha. Translation services. Esteemed to meet you.
Henk Rogers: Oh.

Sasha: He inquires, "What is Nintendo?"
Henk Rogers: Ha. Very funny... Uh, Nintendo's the most popular video game console in the world, sir.

Sasha: He denies obtaining a tape. And says that this is an illegal copy. Mr. Rogers, I think we should vanish.
Henk Rogers: He thinks I stole Tetris?
Sasha: Affirmative.

Henk Rogers: Pascal or assembler?
Alexey Pajitnov: I was gonna ask you the same thing.
Henk Rogers: Um, I like Pascal. Assembler is my go-to. But never underestimate…
Alexey Pajitnov: …the power of BASIC.
Henk Rogers: That's spooky.

Howard Lincoln: What makes you so sure this Alexey character isn't lying?
Henk Rogers: Because he's the only one who stands to gain nothing from this.

Sasha: Why is it so important that the Maxwells win? Isn't the offer with more money better for the Soviet Union?
Valentin Trifonov: I'll concern myself with the fate of the Soviet Union. You go and do your job. Dismissed.

Marvel Steinbrink: It's not easy sharing your man with a fire. I know.
Amanda Marsh: I'm just being a baby. You know, I don't even know why, when I went into this with my eyes wide open.
Marvel Steinbrink: Doesn't mean you can see everything that's coming.

Eric Marsh: All you rookies that are just coming on as slot contenders, I want you all to breathe in this beautiful vista... Breathe it in deeply... 'Cause after you all get baptized, you're never gonna be able to look out into the wilds and see that pure beauty again. Once you get a real hard taste of the bitch at work, there's only one thing you're gonna be able to see... and that's fuel. So, think about that. Meditate on it. Then decide if this job is for you.

Duane Steinbrink: I know you boys had a rough go of it out there, but if you're looking for sympathy, the only place you're gonna find it is in the dictionary, somewhere between "shit" and "syphilis."

Eric Marsh: Esse quam videri. "To be, rather than to seem."

Eric Marsh: I don't know what to do.
Duane Steinbrink: Yeah, well, you got to ask yourself, "What can I live with and what can I die without?" You know what I mean?
Eric Marsh: No, I don't.

Eudoria Holmes: It's your path, Enola. Sometimes, you'll stumble. Sometimes, you'll fall. But no matter how lost you feel, if you stay true to yourself, the path will always find you again.

Enola Holmes: Everyone thinks detecting is a profession littered with rules, but in truth, there's only one. Pull on every loose thread you find.

Enola Holmes: Cab... 221 Baker Street.

Enola Holmes: Crazy idea. Have you ever considered a flatmate?
Sherlock Holmes: For what purpose?
Enola Holmes: To stop you descending into this.

Lestrade: Why ever would she ever do that?...

Lestrade: Ah. Lestrade of Scotland Yard. You remember me, I hope.

Sherlock Holmes: Love. What it does to people... How was she killed?

Sherlock Holmes: The first mistake a detective makes is to make it about themselves and not the case.

Sherlock Holmes: Enola, I know you're not a fan of unnecessary advice, but please... don't turn into me.
Enola Holmes: I should probably write that down.

Tewkesbury: Why... Why watch me walk to the Lords?
Enola Holmes: Simply keeping an eye on you, in case you get yourself into any more scrapes. Getting thrown out of trains.
Tewkesbury: Enola...
Enola Holmes: You cannot be trusted to take care of yourself.
Tewkesbury: I'm a man now.
Enola Holmes: You're a man when I tell you you're a man.

Tewkesbury: Look into my eyes. The rhythm is always there. Dancing is a trust, it's a union. That's why I've always loved it, even when I was being tutored by my uncle.

Sherlock Holmes: "Moriarty." Who are you?

Edith: Well, like my mother always said, "Those who can turn to others when they're in need are the truly brave amongst us."
Enola Holmes: Your mother sounds very different to mine.

Eudoria Holmes: You will do very well on your own, Enola. But with others, you could be magnificent.

Eudoria Holmes: You find your allies. Work with them, and you will become more of who you are. You speak with one voice, and you will make more noise than you could ever have imagined.

Eudoria Holmes: Be careful... And get a haircut. It's a mess.

Tewkesbury: Enola, did you understand what I said? Or rather what I didn't say? Did you understand... what I didn't say?

Sherlock Holmes: You're innocent.
Enola Holmes: You doubted it?
Sherlock Holmes: Nothing's certain till it's proved.

Sherlock Holmes: Stay unemotional. There's nothing more we can do for him now.

Sherlock Holmes: You know, you are aware, should you wish some finer surrounds, I could, uh... I was thinking... Holmes and Holmes? A partnership?
Enola Holmes: That is the kindest offer. But if I did that, I would always be in your shadow.
Sherlock Holmes: Hm. Yes.
Enola Holmes: Though I do like this new version of you. No one should be alone all the time. A friend would do you well.
Sherlock Holmes: Perhaps I should write that down.

Dr. Watson: You are Sherlock Holmes?
Sherlock Holmes: Hm. Yes. Please, do come in, Mr...?
Dr. Watson: Doctor. Watson. John Watson.
