Matryoshka

Russian Doll 2×7


Alan Zaveri: I went through major shit, Nadia. You don't think I wanted to change things? But no, I followed the rules of the train because I am a good commuter. But you, you on the other hand, you're just...

Alan Zaveri: I'm sorry. A friend kidnapping her newborn self then collapsing time is a hard boundary.

Nadia Vulvokov: This used to be a school for Jews. Now, it's open-planned living for the enlightened. And I use the terms "now" and "used to be" loosely.

Nadia Vulvokov: Come on, man, we've been through worse, all right? We can handle this. Hey, as Abraham used to say, "Trust that the fabric of space-time is durable like Tyvek." Uh... Which is Sheol, where all dead go. The common grave for all humanity.

Ruth Brenner: Nothing in this world is easy except pissing in the shower.

Horse: You got time, man. Time as you understand was invented to synchronize European train systems so that goods could be moved across borders.

Nadia Vulvokov: Am I dead?
Lenora Vulvokov: How am I supposed to answer a question like that?
Nadia Vulvokov: So I'm not dead?
Lenora Vulvokov: Just because I came before you doesn't mean I have all the answers. You're looking in the wrong place.
Nadia Vulvokov: Well, that is starting to become a theme.

Lenora Vulvokov: If you could choose your mother all over, would you choose me again?
Nadia Vulvokov: Ma... Yeah, I didn't choose you the first time, but I guess that's just how the story goes, huh, Mom?

Exquisite Corpse

Russian Doll 2×5


Nadia Vulvokov: Help me find him, and I'll tell you the future. Not your personal future,more geopolitical history with embarrassing holes in all the usual places.

Nadia Vulvokov: Ah! Great. The man of the hour, in the flesh. So my research shows that you are a very decent person with an impressive lifeline, who has a soft spot for Jews, aka "Kugel fever."
Father László Kiss: I'm sorry. Who are you?
Nadia Vulvokov: Ah, I don't think you want to peel that onion. Call me Vera.

Nadia Vulvokov: Nice guy. Uh... I'm "tolerated." Right? People say "welcome" when they mean "tolerated."

Nadia Vulvokov: Look, I saw rocks on your grave, and anyone who's seen Schindler's List knows that means you're a mensch. Then again, is it Spielberg's best film? No. That's the first episode of Columbo. Who can say?

Nadia Vulvokov: Hey, buddy, sir? Uh, please with the yawning, all right? A little respect for the butterfly effect.

Delia: $5325. Now, if those monsters ever come back, we have exit strategy. You never know what can happen. That's what it means, this money, a way out. That's all there is, a way out.

Nadia Vulvokov: Uh, so Mommy's gonna tell you a little story, and it's not gonna mean anything to you. But hey, it's just a story, right?... Turns out, I was wrong about time. You know how that goes. Uh... See, I thought that I could change things for us, you know? If I just went back far enough. Uh... And then, turns out, I couldn't change anything at all. So I... I can only do what was always done, so...
Lenora Vulvokov: Is this a riddle?

Nadia Vulvokov: Fifteen years from now, you'll get the idea to steal this gold. I'll lose it. In trying to right that wrong, I'll only end up bringing you back the same gold that you steal 15 years from now.
Lenora Vulvokov: Okay.

Nadia Vulvokov: Tell you this, time's got a real sick sense of humor, Nora.

Station to Station

Russian Doll 2×4


Nadia Vulvokov: What's going on with you? Are you high?
Alan Zaveri: No. There's someone in the past that I... I like spending time with.
Nadia Vulvokov: So, wh... what is she? Is she, like, uh, a Marlene Dietrich type, or more of an Angela Merkel?

Nadia Vulvokov: Alan, the only reason to go into the past is to change shit, all right? I mean, haven't you ever seen a movie?
Alan Zaveri: Yes, Nadia. And I know that you won't believe me when I say this, but I have seen a movie, and literally every movie about time travel says don't change things. That's why this is... this is so great. This is... Nadia. Nadia, don't... don't mess this up.

Nadia Vulvokov: Oh my God. You know what? Great. ... You have my blessing.
Maxine: I don't need it, but it's good to have. Like a driver's license or a left hand.

Nadia Vulvokov: What is that?
Kristóf: Perspective.
Nadia Vulvokov: Huh.
Kristóf: Have you ever wanted to separate from yourself?
Nadia Vulvokov: I'm only human.
Kristóf: To view yourself with objective distance? It's coexistence and lack of existence at once.

Kristóf: We weren't allowed to study LSD. Acid was deemed too dangerous for a Communist country. It was a German chemist who first synthesized it from Ayahuasca back in the '50s. It was actually a Hungarian chemist who first discovered the hallucinogenic properties of DMT.
Nadia Vulvokov: ..... You're also well-known for the Rubik's Cube.

Ruth Brenner: Honey, we always think that closure is something we can find out there in the world, as if we can find it in another person, or a confession, or an apology. See, in the end, nothing can absolve us but ourselves.

Brain Drain

Russian Doll 2×3


Doctor: Do you have any questions?
Nadia Vulvokov: Uh, big-time, yeah. Uh-huh. Do you think consciousness is an emergent property of the brain? Like, could one person's consciousness just displace someone else's? You know, uh, two minds knocking around the same body? That type of a thing?
Doctor: No, never heard of that.
Nadia Vulvokov: I'm assuming that most of your patients grapple with bringing more consciousnesses into existence?
Ruth Brenner: Nora, being born doesn't make you a victim. Let's get you home.

Danny Shaker: You're not a creationist, are you?
Nadia Vulvokov: Ah, wouldn't it be nice to have someone to blame?

Nadia Vulvokov: Doctor, we're both incredibly busy people, so, let's not waste each other's time, huh? Uh, I'm not the crazy one. She is.
Uh, who's she?

Nadia Vulvokov: So look, uh, I'm gonna be perfectly honest with you. Uh, I'm Nadia. Uh, Nora's daughter. I'm from the future.

Nadia Vulvokov: You know, I previously thought that I was just inhabiting her body, but, uh, I now realize that I'm inside of her mind too, okay?

Nadia Vulvokov: Why is it so bad to be paranoid schizophrenic and have this baby?

Nadia Vulvokov: Is this what every day was like for you, Mommy?

Coney Island Baby

Russian Doll 2×2


Nadia Vulvokov: All right, let me guess. This is about how we were, um, Hungarians, uh, big shots, intellectuals, uh, then the Nazis came, stole everything, put it on a gold train. I know, I've heard it a million times before.

Vera Peschauer: You do nothing but take and take. Those coins were the only security we had...
Nadia Vulvokov: For when Hitler comes back. I know. I know. Regimes change, currencies become obsolete, only gold remains, yeah. We Vulvokovs exist in the sweet spot where paranoia meets hyperinflation.

Nadia Vulvokov: All right. Uh... Hey, what's Hungarian for, uh, "In the end, it's just money, we'll get through this together..." Oh! "...and the, uh, the baby is a chance for a new relationship"?

Nadia Vulvokov: How the fuck does anyone find anyone without the Internet around here?...

Squash Player 1: He put a bun in that oven?
Nadia Vulvokov: Oh, wow, so you guys just really don't know how sperm work, huh?
Squash Player 2: What are you talking about?
Nadia Vulvokov: Men don't make women pregnant, sperm are weak. They only get the job done when the egg beams them up to the Federation Starship and then you make a baby. Uh... What would you guys know with your tight little 1982 gym shorts? Really, it's a little titty twister, but for dicks, huh?

Chezare 'Chez' Carrera: No, what I mean is, it's a Coney Island.
Nadia Vulvokov: What do you mean? The last stop on the D train?
Chezare 'Chez' Carrera: In our house, a Coney Island is the thing that would've made everything better, if only it had happened, or didn't happen. My father couldn't work. He got sick with polio and wound up in an iron lung. Now, if only he hadn't gone to Coney Island that summer, he wouldn't have gotten the airborne polio. But he did... It's a fantasy. It's an "if only."

Nadia Vulvokov: I don't deserve you, Ruthie.
Ruth Brenner: Oh, no one deserves what they get in life. That's not how it works.

Nowhen

Russian Doll 2×1


Anti-Nuclear Activist: Do you believe in the future of our humanity?
Nadia: Define future.

Nadia: Hey, man, can I get a bourbon?
Bartender: Bourbon? You sure about that, hon?
Nadia: Yeah, hon. It's arguably the only thing I'm sure of. Basic concepts like time and space are suddenly eluding me. I mean, last night this place was mayhem 'cause Wi-Fi went out, but in the new here and now, uh, apparently gratuitous nudity is back in play.

Nadia: Well, my past, your future. Begs the question, am I haunting you, are you haunting me?
Danny Shaker: You seem pretty relaxed for a ghost.
Nadia: Well, when the universe fucks with you, let it.

Nadia: Is it 2022 in here?

Nadia: Look, all I'm saying is, maybe we have unfinished business.
Alan: We have spent your past three birthdays on DEFCON 1 just in case we start dying. I'm standing here looking at us, and we're both very much alive.
Nadia: Ask yourself this, are you happy?
Alan: Yeah, I'm fine. I just... I think this is what life feels like.
Nadia: Is it though?

Maxine: Sweet birthday baby.
Nadia: Maxine. Come here. I fucking love you so much!

Nadia: Co-dependently speaking, I'd love to lie to you and tell you I'll be back in an hour, but I think our friendship can handle me being honest with you.

Maxine: Take it. Let's go down together.

Nadia: Listen, listen, listen. Between you and me, I have recently encountered death numerous times, and I come bearing some good news. Life is like a box of timelines. You feel me?
Joe: No. I don't understand what you mean.
Nadia: Suffice to say that while yes, on this plane, your wife is dead and smoking kills, somewhere she is alive and well sipping a mai tai on a beach, uh... on horseback, smoking a cigarette, maybe with Fabio.
Joe: No Fabio. God, you're making me jealous.

Horse: What's your deal?
Nadia: What is anyone's deal? Life is a fucking nightmare, right? Being a person is a fucking nightmare.

Nadia: Oh, my God, I'm sorry. Is this some kind of a creepy Dead Zone scenario?


Mike: I'm just trying to... consensually screw this young lady in peace.

Horse: You're supposed to get down on one knee, aren't you?... Oh, uh... I thought you'd never ask.

Alan: You told me that time is relative.
Nadia: Actually, your buddy Einstein said that.
Alan: Metaphysically speaking, you and I are intrinsically and inexplicably linked.
Nadia: Mm-hmm.
Alan: And I'm convinced our true purpose is to to connect with each other, if not help save each other's lives. In another world, hopefully you are doing the same for me.
Nadia: Time's up.

Nadia: Would you like to hear a story?... Did you ever hear the one about the broken man and the lady with a death wish who got stuck in a loop?
Alan: Tell me.
Nadia: Once upon a time...

Nadia: You see, life was too painful. Or they were too fragile. But either way you slice it, they just couldn't hack it. And then one night... something miraculous happened. They made it through alive.

Nadia: It's wild how they don't hit you when you look both ways, huh?

The Way Out

Russian Doll 1×7


Lenora: This is it, Nadia. This is the day we get free.

Alan: So the loops started because we didn't help the other person!
Nadia: I think so.
Alan: I knew we were being punished!
Nadia: Easy there, Mr. Rogers. This is not good or bad. It's just a bug. It's like if a program keeps crashing, you know? The crashing is just a symptom of a bug in the code.

Alan: But if we were supposed to help each other and we didn't... how is that not a moral issue?
Nadia: What do time and morality have in common?... Relativity. They're both relative to your experience.

Nadia: All right, so our universe has three spatial dimensions, so it's hard for us to picture a four-dimensional world. But, you know, computers do it all the time. Now lucky for you, I have the capacity to think like a computer...

Nadia: ...And we rewrite our first interaction. Just like you would fix a flaw in a code. Then we run a unit test.
Alan: Is that a term that people should know or...
Nadia: Basically, we run a little program and we see if the bug is triggered.
Alan: And how do we know if it's triggered?
Nadia: We die.

Maxine: Sweet birthday baby!


Nadia: I love you both so much. I cannot be the reason that you stop existing. I would never forgive myself.

Maxine: Hey, birthday baby.

Nadia: To the deli.
Maxine: But I don't need anything from the deli.
Nadia: We need supplies. Apocalypse! Fire escape!

Nadia: Max?
Maxine: Sweet birthday baby.

Nadia: Fuck you!
Alan: That might be the last thing you ever say to me. Seriously.

Alan: Thank you for changing my life. Lives are hard to change.

Alan: You did. You did tell me. I just didn't listen. You told me every time I asked you what was wrong, and you said, "Nothing." Every time I touched you, you gently pulled away. No matter how much we think we're fooling people, our bodies... they can't keep lying the way that our minds can.

Nadia: I love you, Ruthie. I love you... and I'll see you in the next one, Ruthie.

Reflection

Russian Doll 1×6


Nadia: Look, man, I got to be honest with you. If I was inventing hell, it would look a lot like this.

Nadia: I mean, our lives depend on each other for, like, eternity? That's my own worst personal nightmare.

Nadia: No, man, it's... it's not you. It's... I don't want to be attached to anyone. I want to just at least maintain the illusion of free will, you know?

Nadia: Oh, wow. You starting a cleaning supply company?
Alan: Well, you... you got some ash on the table.
Nadia: Man, take a chill pill, okay? It'll reset when we die.

Alan: Uh... I'd bet my life on it.
Nadia: Well, that does not mean much given our present circumstances.

Nadia: Honestly, it's the only unknown factor that we have. Johari window. You know, it's a known unknown.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johari_window

Alan: Why... Why mirrors?
Ruth: Reflection. Proof of existence. Another pair of eyes. See, that's why therapists are important. Without them, we are very unreliable narrators of our own stories.

Nadia: Okay, new plan. Hear me out...

Nadia: What if I go through your night with you? We recreate what you did that first time. Maybe I see something that you didn't...

Nadia: All right, what did you do first?...


Nadia: You know what? I really was fucking amazing. I gotta tell you, man. I never stick my neck out for anybody, but I feel like fucking Rocky right now.

Nadia: All right, so, what happened next?...

Nadia: Uh, hey, bartendress. Hello. Uh, more drunk, please.

Alan: How much is 150...
Nadia: You know, the price of gold fluctuates, but, uh... if I had to guess... $152,780.86.
Alan: Whoa.
Nadia: Yeah. I know this, because why? Because it was my fucking college fund. But hey, I got a pretty necklace, right? So...

Nadia: You know what, man? Don't work too hard. I mean, it's only eternity.

Alan: Beatrice Mike?!
Nadia: Yeah. What are the odds, right? I mean, like, she's cheating on you, he's cheating on her, right? Ipso facto, transparently speaking it's like we all fucked Beatrice. I mean, you the most, of course, but, you know, in a kind of fun gang-bang way, it's like a mash-em-up.

Nadia: ...And second of all, the sex was, I want to say, mediocre at best. Like medium, you know? And there's no way that it set off a whole world-bending multiverse wonderland fucking splitting-level shit, all right?

Ruth: Look, don't you want to move on with your life?
Nadia: You know what, Ruth? Seriously... Humanity... a little bit overrated, no?
Ruth: We need other people.
Nadia: Other people are garbage.
Ruth: Then forgive them.
Nadia: Oh, God.
Ruth: That's what I do with you. Just... try it sometime.
Nadia: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Chag sameach.

Superiority Complex

Russian Doll 1×5


Nadia: Hey. Welcome to yesterday.

Alan: I'm pretty sure that it's purgatorial punishment for being a bad person.
Nadia: What is this bad person? I mean, you know, there's Hitler and then there's, uh, everybody else. Even Wile E. Coyote. Yeah, he's out there. He's looking for a hot meal.

Nadia: Point him out later, and I'll bust his fucking knee caps, okay? But for now, you and me got bigger fish to fry. Life and death stuff, huh.

Nadia: My new theory is that it's an incredibly dense gravitational field that's gaining consciousness and is now deliberately fucking with us. Kind of the black hole meets They Shoot Horses, Don't They?

Nadia: This isn't gonna be very fun if you keep rejecting my theories.
Alan: You rejected mine.
Nadia: Yeah, because it was morally simplistic and narcissistic... I mean, the universe is moral, but it shares your views on morality... We'll try your way.

Nadia: For my birthday, tell me if I'm a bad person.

Nadia: Oh, this is Alan. He's basically a child that the universe has tasked me with babysitting. Would you say that's a fair assessment?
Alan: Sure.


John: Why'd you even bring her up though?
Nadia: You're supposed to ask people about their kids. Okay? It's polite. It gives everybody a moment to pretend there's gonna be a future.

Nadia: With the amount of guilt, I'm surprised you're not a Jew.

Nadia: Hey, Ruth, if you were gonna die today, would you be ready for it? Like would you feel at peace with your life?
Ruth: Yes and no.
Nadia: So, how do you get to just yes?
Ruth: You don't... See, holding two incompatible ideas in your head at the same time and accepting both of them... that's the best of being human.... Yes, no, good, bad, life, death.
Nadia: Wax on, wax off. Tomato, tomato. Potato, two potatoes—

Nadia: Hey, wait a second. Are you telling me that you're never dying on the stairs?
Alan: No.
Nadia: Are you some kind of a fucking superhero or just a...

Mike: She didn't choose me, Alan. The only choice she made was not you. Nobody chooses me. I'm the hole where a choice should be.

Nadia: What if they keep going?... I thought that what was happening to us wasn't hurting anybody else, but... I mean, they're all in it, too... Fifteen times, Ruth has grieved for me. In 15 universes, she's alone.

Alan: I am beautiful... I am loved and deserve love... I am in control.

Alan: Routine is an incredible thing, Beatrice. We become what we repeatedly do.

Alan: I was gonna propose!... I'll see you next time.

Alan: Do you think it's possible to correct your life? I find myself in this position of finally being able to do things the right way.

Farran: Why don't you come over for dinner? Sheree and I would love to have you. Friday night.

Alan: Is this... Is this why you two have been meeting up for your dissertation about Philip Roth or whatever?
Beatrice: For the millionth time, it's Updike and the suburban imaginary.

Nadia: Alan Zaveri... Hmm. Looks like somebody really likes shawarma.

Nadia: No, not by choice. Hey, come on. Religion is dumb as fuck, all right? It's racist. It's sexist. There's no money in it... anymore. Who needs it?

Nadia: For the record, I happen to be a heavily married woman.

Nadia: Uh, I'm not at a precinct, all right? I'm actually at a synagogue on, uh, 14th street. Bishulim Synagogue.
John: This better not be a hate crime.

John: This is a place of worship. This means something to me. I was raised Catholic.

John: Just so you know, I'm not Jewish, but I am circumcised.
Nadia: Well, 50-50.

Rabbi: What's on that paper?
John: Um... Are there any history of hauntings in the building? Supernatural events, the dead coming back to life, things of that nature?
Rabbi: You said you were in real estate?


John: .... And that building she's asking about isn't really haunted?
Rabbi: Buildings aren't haunted. People are.

Nadia: I froze to death... Jesus fucking Christ, that's dark.

Nothing in This World Is Easy

Russian Doll 1×1


Maxine: Hey, birthday baby! It's laced with cocaine like the Israelis do it. Are you having fun?
Nadia: Fun is for suckers, Max. Two minutes ago, I turned 36. Staring down the barrel of my own mortality always beats fun.

Nadia: Do ladies have midlife crises?

Lizzy: ...a 22 year old.
Nadia: Does she know what 9/11 is?
Lizzy: Does anyone?

Nadia: I mean, the one, in practical application, just means the one I'm gonna die with. You know, to take care of me when I'm infirm and shit. So, my move is gonna be to wait till I'm in like my late 60s and then seal the deal. That is, of course, assuming I don't die between then and now.

Maxine: Sweet birthday baby! Having fun?... It's laced with cocaine like the Israelis do it.

Nadia: Do you ever think it's weird? You know, just, like, partying in an old Yeshiva school?
Maxine: Why would it be weird?
