One Eight Seven

Trevor Garfield: That says 187. That's the police code for homicide.

Walter: You know what your problem is? On the one hand, you think someone's trying to kill you. On the other hand, you believe kids are paying attention in your classes.

Trevor Garfield: If you're listening, God... please help me today. Please give me a chance to do my job... which you put me here to do in the first place... God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change... the courage to change the things I can... and the wisdom to know the difference. It's me, Trevor, God. Amen.

Trevor Garfield: There's this passage in God's Lonely Man... by Thomas Wolfe where he says: "The whole conviction of my life rests upon the belief... that loneliness is the central... and inevitable fact of human existence."
Ellen Henry: That's really depressing, Trevor.
Trevor Garfield: It's just my New York upbringing.

Trevor Garfield: Stop blaming everybody else. You're too smart for that.

Trevor Garfield: At some point, people have to take responsibility for their actions.

Trevor Garfield: They want what they want when they want it. And we can't expect the system to protect us. ... Like you, I used to think the world was this great place... where everybody lived by the same standard I did. Then some kid with a nail... showed me I was living in his world. A world where chaos rules, not order. A world where righteousness is not rewarded. That's Cesar's world. And if you're not willing to play by his rules... then you're gonna have to pay the price.

Dave Childress: Don't tell me you never wanted to blow one of these bastards away.

Trevor Garfield: That macho enough for you, Cesar?

Cesar: You disrespecting me? You saying I ain't a man?
Trevor Garfield: I'm saying you're a fool.

Trevor Garfield: The only thing you respect is stupidity. You willing to die for stupidity?.. See, I am, if it'll teach you something!

Trevor Garfield: Your whole way of life is bullshit! Macho is bullshit!!
Cesar: It's all I got!
Trevor Garfield: So now you're the victim?

Cesar: I got one in six chances. I'm gonna beat this bitch.

Barsek: Why'd you do that, man? What's the fucking point?

George: "Be an organ donor, give your heart to Jesus"?
Mary: Exactly. Guess whose job it would be to write those...
George: Yours.
Mary: Already working on a couple. Listen to this. "The best vitamin for a Christian is B1."
George: ... What?
Mary: You know, be one. Like be a Christian. And also B1 the vitamin.
George: Well, now that you explained it, it's funny.

Mary: Well, I'm very disappointed.

Jay: Maybe next time.
Anne: There is... no... next... time.

Josh: You see, out here... folks don't take too kindly to outsiders. So if you do want to go lookin' around, just be careful where you step. There's plenty of snakes about.

Josh: So why all the questions, Mei?
Mei: So I don't have to answer yours.

Mei: The truth can be hard to find out here, especially once the sun goes down. And when you find the truth, what will you do about it?

The Mayor: I like you, Jay. Just don't take it personal when things turn from ripe to rotten. 'Cause that's how life is, Jay... Drive carefully.

The Mayor: Josh, I'm just an old woman who likes to bake pies.

Jay: Are you sure you wanna do this?

Josh: You know, growin' up out here in the bush, I wouldn't change it for anything. And I mean anything. But sometimes I can't help but get this feelin' that...

Outlander 1×16

Father Anselm: I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt your prayers.
Claire: I wasn't exactly praying, I was... Just sitting here alone, trying to clear my head.
Father Anselm: Were you indeed alone?

Jamie: How can you have me like this?
Claire: I will have you any way I can. Always.

Morgan: He's gonna live 'cause he knows how.

Eugene: Your message is stamped "received" and very much appreciated.

Negan: Got Frankie there giving you massages... Tanya cooking. You know that gal was a chef?
Eugene: I pictured her in social sciences. Management. Maybe running a drapes factory. Will there be wine?
Negan: There will, indeed.

Eugene: You can help by taking my dinner order, relaying it to Tanya via the longrange. Eggs will do nicely. Dancing with tomatoes.
Frankie: One tomato omelet... You got it.
Eugene: No fold over. I'm talkin' a scramble. Several of them, actually. For my crew.

Eugene: ...And I'd like said repast set up over here, in the Northwest corner, which I hereby designate as this workplace's official cafeteria, break room, and motivational presentational cubby... And my brow will soon be in need of wiping.

Eugene: I think a more biblical approach for maximum fright may be in order. We could rig several medieval-style catapults, start launching undead arms, legs, torsos over their defenses, maybe heads or, you know, big piles of guts. You know, pure psych-ops. I mean, there's some really traumatic theatrics there.

Negan: Thank you. I do believe a rose just sprang out of that pile of shit.

Negan: Let's roll. Big day tomorrow.

Gregory: We run, we live. I mean... how can we win?

Howard: You know, fun fact, did you know baby boys can pee straight up?
Raj: Grown-up boys, too....
Leonard: Why would we high-five that?

Penny: What is this picture?
Amy: Oh, it's an MRI of our brains photoshopped to look like they're kissing.
Sheldon: Is it too sexy?

Raj: Guys, May 12, that's exciting!

Howard: I would take a bullet for them. But I would get seriously mutilated for you.
Bernadette: That's sweet. But you should know, if you got seriously mutilated, I might dump you.

Sheldon: You know, I'm really happy with our wedding date. The month squared equals the square of the sum of the members of the set of prime factors of the day. Isn't that romantic?

Raj: I don't know, I was raised by servants, and look at me.
Howard: I literally can't tell if you think that's good or bad.
Raj: Well, on one hand, they filled my tub with scented oils and brought me honeyed sweets; on the other hand... I spent my twenties incapable of talking to women. So you know, pros and cons.

Kathleen: Here's my card. Why don't you two talk it over, and I will check to see if our soup spoons are “deeper than they are wide”...

Bernadette: We're not putting a TV in the bathroom! That's how you get hemorrhoids.

Howard: You just said you didn't want to.
Bernadette: No, I don't want to have to, but if I want to, I should get to.

Howard: I think it's pretty sexist of you to say a dad can't stay home with his children.
Bernadette: You know what else is sexist, the phrase “suck it,” yet... here we are.

Sheldon: I said some pretty unprofessional things about his work. I may have even used the “S” word.
Amy: Subpar?!
Sheldon: I'm not proud of it, Amy, but I have a temper.

Sheldon: ...so if you could just please leave before I get angry and say something I will regret about your face, your height, your personal hygiene or the fact that your science, while serviceable, lacks panache.
Leonard: That's actually one of the nicest things you've ever said about my work.
Sheldon: And now I regret it.

Leonard: You're my best friend. I want you to have the wedding of your dreams.

Leonard: Okay, I want Amy to have the wedding of her dreams.

Raj: Parenting is hard. Like, I've seen and smelled things today that I cannot unsee or unsmell.

Эрик Маккормак — Летучий голландец

nostradamvs:

“Очень красивая книга в любимом мной жанре "много историй, замаскированных под один роман". .... рассказчик всю книгу слушает историю, которую ему рассказывает умирающий старик, а потом дочь старика, а внутри истории старика свои истории рассказывают другие персонажи, и всё это очень красиво, грустно и необычно. Просто однажды мужчина отправляет своей жене телеграмму о том, что возвращается домой, но в назначенный час в её дверь звонит совершенно другой мужчина - и она открывает, и принимает его как мужа, и запрещает рассказывать о себе. И закручивается тайна. 8/10.”

  “Благосклонный читатель! Я хочу рассказать тебе историю, которая произошла десять лет назад. ...

&  Взгляни на этот мир, что тысячи тысяч лет полон войнами, бедствиями, голодом, убийствами, общественной и личной жестокостью, несправедливостью, предательством, геноцидом. Нужно быть последним циником, чтобы не верить в то, что за всем этим должен скрываться некий великий замысел, некий великий план.
Пабло Реновски

&  У моей жены всегда живут кошки. Она считает, мир стал бы лучше, если бы каждый человек сначала попрактиковался на любви к кошкам, а уже потом переходил на людей.

&  Как странно, что младенцы часто похожи друг на друга, старики – тоже. В случае с младенцами ... жизнь еще не имела возможности поставить на них знаки отличия, а у очень старых людей годы стерли большую часть отличительных черт.
     Кажется, что время уничтожает различия, ... вновь делая всех стариков похожими друг на друга. Как холмы, что когда-то были хребтами высоких гор.

&  – О'Хиггинс был великим исследователем снов и бессонницы. Его главный трактат – «Spiritus Nocturnus». В нем он утверждал, что даже Бог любил смотреть сны – пока не создал этот мир. А когда увидел, что у Него получилось, Ему начали сниться жуткие кошмары, и Он уже боялся засыпать.

&  – Одна из его теорий гласила, что сны – это воспоминания души о теле... Похоже, он имел в виду, что, когда вы спите, душа, которая изначально чиста, вспоминает о теле как об опасном пристанище хаоса, в котором она вынуждена обитать. Но, по мнению О'Хиггинса, душа на самом деле тоскует по телу со всеми его пороками.
     – За это его и сожгли на костре? – спросил я.
     – Отнюдь, – сказал Томас Вандерлинден. – В его книге им не понравилось другое. Он утверждал, что религия была выдумана слабейшими из людей – теми, кому необходимо верить в божественный порядок во всем. Они должны всегда и везде находить свидетельства этого порядка – и лишь тогда могут гордиться своей правотой. С другой стороны, сильнейшим из людей никакая религия не нужна. Они верят, что хаос есть основа всего сущего, находят тому бесчисленные доказательства и убеждены, что те, кто этого не видит, просто дураки... Именно за эту мысль его и сожгли. И сожгли все его книги, которые смогли найти.

Tommy: The stag is to remember him. We eat. And then we forget him. No need to forgive him. Agreed?

Tommy: John, I have to say this, you can name your new baby after him if you like.
Johnny: No.
Tommy: So, his name dies. It's been in the family for a long time, but now it's gone. Right. That's done. Fuck him!

Polly: I wish to confess...!
Priest: There's no confessional today.
Polly: The name's Shelby.

Polly: Do you know, it's actually Gray. My name is Elizabeth Gray. Do you think God calls me "Pol" or "Polly"?

Priest: Are you saying you want to confess to a murder?
Polly: No. My confession is that I feel no regret.

Priest: The taking of any human life is a mortal sin.
Polly: No. The UNJUST taking of a human life is a mortal sin. Look it up. Look who did it. Moses. Samson. Lord Kitchener.

Linda: I'll make tea and empty ashtrays, but I won't handle money or slips. Arthur says what you do here is illegal but not immoral.
Esme: Depends what time you get here, Linda.

Tatiana: When there are no rules, women take charge. They understand that the power they have come through silent agreements.

Tatiana: You break the law, but you obey the rules. Why?

Tatiana: Did you know that madness sets you free? Otherwise, we're just peasants obeying the law.

Tommy: No, I do not want to try! And I do not want your mad fucking Russian brains all over me fucking walls!

Tatiana: There. In an old house like this, the servants expect it.... If there is a call after midnight, the maid who comes in is the one in love with the master...
Tommy: This is NOT FUCKING RUSSIA!!

Tatiana: I know your weakness, Tommy. It's freedom. Madness. Killing.

Tatiana: Then kill him. From now on, you must do everything that you want to do.

Tommy: And why the hell would you listen to her, eh?
Mary: The way she said it, sir.

Lizzie: The Executive Committee of the Union of Bookies and Allied Trades will see you now, sir.

Tommy: Arthur Shelby as a missionary...
Linda: No, Arthur will run the store. I will teach in the school next to it. Arthur will swim in the ocean. I will be on the beach with a towel. The open air and the sun will get rid of all the nonsense in his head from France.
Tommy: That's some plan.

Tommy: When is the child due?
Linda: September. When is the robbery?
Tommy: June.
Linda: Then the timing's perfect.

Oliver: There. That's the look. Imperious. No man is good enough.

Tommy: I bought a cursed sapphire into this house, Mary. And now I'm paying for it. And I don't know what to expect. But neither do my enemies.

Infernal Guinea Pig

Lucifer 3×16

Lucifer: Once upon a time, there were two brothers... Kane and Abel. They fought, as brothers often do, over everything. ...

Pierce: Wait, back up. My brother is in Hell?
Lucifer: Yes, of course. In fact, he's our oldest tenant.
Pierce: I knew it! Do you know how many times I've tried to tell people Abel is the asshat? No one ever believes me.

Lucifer: Well, how much do you hate your brother on a scale of one to ten?
Pierce: One thousand, infinity plus one.

Lucifer: Enjoy the show, Dad...

Lucifer: Time to call the detective.
Pierce: Yeah, that's a great idea. "Hey, Decker. We broke Abel out of Hell, dropped his soul into the wrong body and lost him. Now he's on the lam in the body of the victim from your case. Also, I'm immortal."
Lucifer: There's no need to get snippy.

Linda: Your desire to win tells me you have a strong need for control.

Mazikeen: Oh, God, Abel. You never forget your first...

---

Mazikeen: Did you know that Abel was the first soul in Hell?
Lucifer: Mm, an infernal guinea pig, so to speak.
Mazikeen: We all learned to torture by torturing him.

Chloe: Okay, we're gonna need to search your property. Extensively.

Amenadiel: Abel. Have you seen yourself lately?
Bree Garland: Oh. Are those bosoms mine? So that's why none of those menfolk heard a word I said.

Pierce: How do we find him?
Mazikeen: Well... Your brother's a predictable one. He always runs to food or boobs. Usually boobs.

Abel: Yes! Finally! Slayed you before you slayed me! Ashes to ashes, you bastard!

Kane: You're alive, brother.

Pierce: It's now time for Plan "C."

Chloe: So... what do I do now? What, cut all these wires willy-nilly?

Tommy: ...And don't speak on the phones. The fucking secret service is listening.

Tommy: Is this how it is going to be?... All right, listen to me. There's going to be a little war, in a little place that no-one gives a fuck about and the side that is going to lose needs a little bit of help. And they're willing to pay. When that business is done, legitimate business is the priority. Now, do what's on the list and fuck off.

Polly: Look at this house. Look where we are. Look how far we've come. I think it is time we all started acting in a way more appropriate to our station.

Polly: I'd like to propose a toast. It's a family united that shall never be defeated.

Arthur: When you've pulled that fucking trigger and the body of the man you've shot wraps itself around your ankles. They pile up. It gets to the point where you can't walk in a room without bringing a load of them with you.

Arthur: Polly, we're just educating the boss here on our side of the business.

Michael: I'm not a fucking kid any more.

Oliver: My motivation for doing this is twofold. Firstly, you have a face full of contradictions and it's a challenge to capture them in one expression... That's the sales pitch. The second motivation is that I am planning to seduce you eventually and please, God, sleep with you--
Polly: How will that please God?
Oliver: Please me.

Arthur: We're not those kind of men.

Tommy: There's going to be a vacancy coming up in Shelby Company Limited. Boston office.
Boston, America?
Tommy: Lipstick, clothes from Paris, no revolvers, all legal. Just turn a few heads. Do the transit deals.

Monkland: What organisation?
Tommy: The Economic League, the Vigilance Committee, the Odd Fellows. Section D. They have many fucking names.
Monkland: Shit, shit shit... Mr Shelby. They are very, very, dangerous people.
Tommy: Well, unfortunately, so are we. You have to choose who you're more afraid of. The Peaky Blinders at exactly 11:43, or Section D at some point in the future. If you make the wrong choice you won't see 11:44.

Grand Duchess Izabella Petrovna: I am curious. What was your father's profession?
Tommy: Well, he, erm... He told fortunes and stole horses. Often he would tell a man that his horse would be stolen and they would marvel at his powers when it was.

Tommy: Before I go, I would like it known that I am unable to swallow food in the same room as this priest... Enjoy your evening.

Tommy: I'm being paid to act and to observe, like a soldier. The complexities are your business.

Tommy: She's here. By my side. And she says, "Don't trust these people."

Lucifer: That makes no sense. But I'm desperate, so I'll try anything. Yes, and.

Mazikeen: That's not a bad idea, kid. Helping people tell the truth is kind of my thing.

Lucifer: You know, high school reunion's a very popular torture in Hell...

Isabel: Wow, I... Do you have a British accent?
Lucifer: Well, I've had many accents over the years, but this one is clearly the best.

Mazikeen: You two have so much in common... Linda, you're a therapist. And, Todd... you're in therapy. Discuss.

Lucifer: Detective. I think I'm the killer.

Lucifer: Detective... will you go to the prom with me?

Lucifer: Very well. A long time ago, dear old Dad put a curse on a... well, a friend of mine. And I want to break that curse, show my Father He's not as powerful as He thinks, that He can't control him. Or me.
Well, crazy metaphor aside, can I offer some advice?... If I've learned anything from this experience, it's that it's better to move forward than stay stuck in the past.

Дэниел Киз — Множественные умы Билли Миллигана

  “Эта книга является достоверным описанием жизни Уильяма Стэнли Миллигана, первого человека в истории Соединенных Штатов Америки, которого суд признал невиновным в серьезных преступлениях по причине психического расстройства подсудимого в форме множественности его личности. ...

&  – Как адвокат, вы прекрасно знаете, что свидетель не обязан сообщать информацию, о которой его не спрашивают. Вы первый сказали бы клиенту, что он должен отвечать лишь «да» или «нет» и ничего больше, если только это не противоречит его интересам. Если вы зададите кому-нибудь из нас прямой вопрос, то получите правдивый ответ или молчание. Конечно, порой правда добывается разными путями. Английский язык по своей природе двусмысленный.

&  – Вы сняли замок с ящика Пандоры. Остается поднять крышку.

&  – Чтобы управлять судьбой, нужен выдающийся ум. Чтобы осуществлять планы, нужен дурак.

&  Сэмюэль был не согласен с решением Артура. Он обратил его внимание на тот факт, что его нельзя изгонять, поскольку он единственный из всех был религиозен.
     – Бог придуман теми, кто боится неизвестного, – сказал Артур. – Люди поклоняются изображениям, например Иисусу Христу, потому что страшатся смерти и не знают, что будет после нее.
     – Вот именно, – заметил Сэмюэль. – Но послушай, совсем неплохо немного подстраховаться. Если после смерти мы обнаружим, что Бог все-таки есть, что дурного в том, что хотя бы один из нас верил в Него? Таким образом душа одного из нас попадет на небо.
     – Если она есть, эта душа, – сказал Артур.
     – Ну так к чему спешить? Ведь ничего не стоит дать мне еще один шанс.

&  – Мой дорогой придира, – холодно сказал Артур, – право быть снобом имеют только очень умные люди. У меня есть это право, у Мартина – нет.

&  Отгородившись от реального мира, мы сможем мирно жить в своем собственном мире.
     Мы знаем, что мир без боли – это мир без чувств... но ведь мир без чувств – это мир без боли.

  ... – Дэвид дал ему имя, – сказал он, – потому что нарисовал его. Он называет его Местом Умирания.”

The Glass Castle

Rex: Rich city folks and their fancy apartments... But their air is so polluted, they can't even see the stars. We'd have to be out of our minds to trade places with any of them.

Rex: Look at this. All those Juniper and Joshua trees have adapted to survive on only five inches of rainfall a year. That inselberg was formed from cooling magma over a hundred million years ago. Pretty soon, the sun's coming down and we'll be watching Orion and Aquarius and Horologion rotate through the night's sky. This is as real as it gets, kids! And don't let no dumbass doctor tell you different. You learn from living! Everything else is a damn lie.

Rex: This is actually great for your posture. You know, the Indian's never use pillows either and look how straight they stand.

Rose Mary: That is the most beautiful tree I've ever seen! ...
Jeannette: Why that one?
Rose Mary: The wind's been beaten that tree down since the day it was born. But it refuses to fall. It's the struggle that gives it its beauty.

Rex: You see the top of the flames where the yellow dissolves into the heat?.. That zone is known in physics as the boundary between turbulence and order. It's a place where no rules apply. Or at least, they haven't figured 'em out yet. And that's how life is. A bunch of molecules bouncing off each other at random. So there's no point in trying to find a reason or pattern for why you were born at a certain time or why you got bit by that fire. You just got a little too close to the chaos is all. You understand?.. I'm not sure I do either.

Rex: We're gonna tear all this down and replace it with your game room. Ping-pong, pool, foosball...
Maureen: Trampoline?
Rex: Oh yeah, trampoline goes right over there and then uh, all these walls are gone, replaced with three-inch glass, glass, glass... This can stay.

Rose Mary: Doesn't that look lovely? Yellow stands for happiness and creativity.

Rex: Things are gonna be different this time around.

Jeannette: Why are you doing this to us, Dad?

Rex: You're a Walls! You were born to change the world, not just add to the noise!

Jeannette: Stop talking! Talking is not trying!

Mr. Lehocky: Ah, just do what makes you happy. You may make some money and you might not. It don't matter either way if you're doing what you love.

Rex: You know, all monsters are the same. They like to frighten people, but the minute you stare 'em down, they turn tail and run.

Rex: We never did build that glass castle.
Jeannette: No. But we had a good time planning it.

Grace and Frankie 4×3

Frankie: Does no one understand "ticktock, ticktock"?... On The Doctor House show, this is exactly when he would break into a patient's house and get the letter himself.
Grace: Okay, first of all, the show is called House, and he mostly cures bizarre diseases after making them worse.

Grace: Oh, God, my knee.
Frankie: Oh, no! Which knee? The arthritic knee or the torn meniscus knee?
Grace: The one that's still strong enough to pin you down while I strangle you.

Frankie: Wow, when you look in a closet, you really get in there... It's hereditary. Both my parents were gynecologists.

Frankie: Oh, Arnold, isn't this the perfect time to tell you all about the magical world of tax accounting?
Arnold: Well...
Frankie: Not much is known about tax accounting. Of course, the ancients tell us that it all began with Pythagoras, a known philanderer, but that's a story for another time... And that time is now. Pythagoras...

Thor: Well, sometimes you have to get captured just to get a straight answer out of somebody.

Thor: It's a long story, but basically, I'm a bit of a hero.

Surtur: Thor, son of Odin.
Thor: Surtur, son of a bitch.

Thor: Hang on. I'll be back around shortly.

Thor: Okay, so Ragnarok. Tell me about that. Walk me through it.

Surtur: You cannot stop Ragnarok. Why fight it?

Dr. Strange: Tea?

Hela: You look like a smart boy with good survival instincts. How would you like a job?

Lead Scrapper: Are you a fighter? Or are you food?
Thor: I'm just passing through.
Lead Scrapper: It is food.

Korg: Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Korg. I'm kind of like the leader in here. I'm made of rocks, as you can see. But don't let that intimidate you. You don't need to be afraid unless you're made of scissors.

Thor: How'd you end up in here?
Korg: Well, I tried to start a revolution, but didn't print enough pamphlets. So hardly anyone turned up, except for my mum and her boyfriend, who I hate.

Korg: I'm actually organizing another revolution. I don't know if you'd be interested in something like that. Do you reckon you'd be interested?

Korg: Yeah, no. This whole thing is a circle. But not a real circle, more like a freaky circle.
Thor: This doesn't make any sense.
Korg: No, nothing makes sense here, man. The only thing that does make sense is that nothing makes sense.

Korg: Thor, wanna use a big wooden fork?
Thor: No.
Korg: Yeah, not really useful. Unless you're fighting off three vampires that were huddled together.

Thor: Banner, I never thought I would say this, but I'm happy to see you.

Hulk: No Banner. Only Hulk.

Korg: Another day, another Doug.

Thor: You know what we call you?.. We call you the stupid Avenger.
Hulk: You're tiny Avenger!

Banner: And what about Sokovia?
Thor: Sokovia?
Banner: The city, Sokovia. Did we save it?...
Thor: Sokovia. Ultron. That was two years ago.

Valkyrie: So, I'm saying that I wanna be on the team. Has it got a name?
Thor: Yeah, it's called the Revengers.
Valkyrie: Revengers?
Thor: Because I'm getting revenge. You're getting revenge. Do you want revenge?
Banner: I'm undecided.

Grandmaster: Revolution? How did this happen?
Topaz: Don't know. But the arena's mainframe for the Obedience Disks have been deactivated and the slaves have armed themselves.
Grandmaster: I don't like that word.
Topaz: Which? Mainframe?
Grandmaster: No. Why would I not like "mainframe"? No, the "S" word.
Topaz: Sorry, the prisoners with jobs have armed themselves.
Grandmaster: Okay, that's better.

Thor: Dear brother, you're becoming predictable. I trust you, you betray me. Round and round in circles we go.

Thor: See, Loki, life is about... It's about growth. It's about change. But you seem to just wanna stay the same. I guess what I'm trying to say is that you'll always be the God of Mischief, but you could be more.

Banner: Guys, we're coming up on the Devil's Anus!

Odin: Asgard is not a place. Never was... This could be Asgard. Asgard is where our people stand.

Thor: Hulk, stop! Just for once in your life, don't smash.

Grandmaster: This revolution has been a huge success. Yay, us! Pat on the back. Pat on the back. Come on. No? Me too. 'Cause I've been a big part of it. Can't have a revolution without somebody to overthrow. So, you're welcome. And it's a tie.

O'Keefe: What conversation? We haven't had a conversation in this country for 50 years. Not since "these people," as you keep calling them, got sent to fight the war in Vietnam. Not since their children were bussed to schools in the ghetto. Not since their jobs were shipped overseas.

<< Ранее

&  – Самые совершенные культуры – также и самые близкие к падению. Им некуда идти, только под гору. Поэтому величайшие нации подвержены самому чудовищному разложению.
     – А это применимо к отдельным личностям? – спросил я, чтобы завести спор. – По-твоему, человек, достигший совершенства, стоит на краю пропасти?
     Она улыбнулась:
     – Разумеется, нет. И, в любом случае, единственное совершенство, доступное человеку, – это совершенная осведомленность о его собственном несовершенстве.

&  – Так и вся наша жизнь – горстка рассказов, притворяющаяся романом.

&  Начав рассказывать эту историю, Джиб Дуглас переменился. Сам он теперь был в ней всего лишь словом, но ему хотелось, чтобы история стала для этого слова хорошей декорацией. Всего несколько минут назад он нервничал и колебался. Теперь же он весь был поглощен рассказом, манипулировал им, стараясь сделать его более эффектным и запоминающимся.

&  – Чувствительное сердце – это роскошь, которой не может себе позволить настоящий патриот.

  ... Сегодня, думает он, океан – как гигантская рукопись, покрытая, сколько хватает глаз, аккуратным наклонным письмом. На дне, у берега, почерк яснее, и он думает: можно было бы разобрать написанные строки. Но тут – трах! – они бьются о бледно-коричневый песок, о черные камни, об изъеденные временем останки бетонного мола. Слова, какими бы ни были, рассыпаются белой пеной по пляжу.”

Эрик Маккормак — Мотель «Парадиз» (3/4)

<< Ранее

&  Он сказал, что в этот момент его жизни (под тридцать) он стал жить согласно теории, которую выстроил для себя. Звучала она так: в жизни по-настоящему сбалансированной неизбежны резкие скачки и повороты, необходимые, чтобы уравновесить периоды относительного постоянства. Если жизнь становится слишком приятной, разумный человек должен без колебаний причинить себе персональную квоту боли; если жизнь становится слишком надежной, он должен намеренно подвергнуть себя опасности.

&  Ничто, уверил он меня, так не помогает сблизить суть и сущее, как боль от прямого левого в нос.

&  – Если ты знаешь, где невинность, значит, тебе известно, что сам ты давно ее утратил, верно?

&  Она приступила к своим ежедневным ритуалам: таинство вдыхания запаха мыла, таинство вытирания полотенцем, таинство застегивания черной юбки, таинство заправляния белой блузки за пояс, таинство обувания туфель, таинство расчесывания и закалывания длинных волос, таинство накрашивания глаз и губ, таинство изучения лица в зеркале, таинство убирания последней непокорной пряди, таинство придирчивого осмотра Эсфири, готовой отправиться в дорогу.

&  За недели нашей разлуки, сказала она, неизменное меню семейной жизни не слишком-то полюбилось ей – пресное рагу из молчаливых сговоров и подчеркнутого лицемерия.

Hughes: Mr Shelby, you will learn that these men are far too grand for the clock to govern them.

Hughes: Mr Shelby, if I want to play the squire in your place of false charity then I will. Ambition for respectability doesn't make you a saint. Am I wrong?

Romanov: And how many times I asked you to tell them about sending us the servants' crockery?... And what about the yesterday egg? And last year's fish? And last century's tea leaves in a cracked pot?

Arthur: You asked for a meeting out in the open. Fresh air and the fine aroma of shit... "Neutral ground," you said.

Tommy: Hello, Ada!
Ada: Tommy Shelby in a library...
Tommy: I'm here to borrow a book about the Russian Revolution.

Ada: Well, this is a list of the bastards who ran away. And this is written from the point of view of the people's struggle.

Tommy: Well, sometimes exiled Russian aristocrats get invited to social occasions to add a bit of class.

Tommy: You want all the details because you're bored, Ada... You used to chase rats with a revolver, Ada. I might just have a job for you after all.

Polly: We own the city. But we don't need to rub everybody's noses in it.

Butler: Here is a menu. I recommend the teal and the pork. Although your guest, I'm sure, will order the caviar...

Grand Duke Leon: They said the British had taken pity on us. And we were taken aboard HMS Marlborough. I immediately kissed the steel deck. My lips froze to it. And then of course, I thanked God and your King for saving us. Though since then he has done nothing but humiliate me...
Tommy: Who? God or the King?
Grand Duke Leon: Sometimes both, Mr Shelby.

Grand Duke Leon: Tatiana. Are you in love with her yet? Hm? You would be wise not to love Russian woman, you know. Better not speak of Russian women.

Grand Duke Leon: Before the revolution began, we were soft and weak. We made compromise. But let me tell you... We will never be soft and weak again.

Tommy: Arthur told you to apologise. Polly told you to compromise. You chose not to listen to Mr Apologise or Mrs Compromise.

Tommy: If you apologise once, you do it again and again and again. Like taking bricks out of the wall of your fucking house. Do you want to bring the house down, Arthur?... If you're soft on rebellion, it'll grow.

Polly: Why?
Tommy: Why? Because we fucking can! Because we fucking can, and if we can, we do. And if we lift our heel off their necks now, they'll just come at us.

Grace: You don't write letters of a social occasion on a typewriter.

Grace: Don't you think it is a bit much for a charity dinner?
Tommy: Grace, this is fucking Birmingham. Good taste is for people who can't afford sapphires.

Tommy: I can charm dogs. Gypsy witchcraft. And those I can't charm I can kill with my own hands.

Ada: You're not one of those impressionists, are you?
Oliver: They are all terribly political, aren't they?
Ada: And you're not?
Oliver: Goodness, no. The people I work for just want me to paint what's there. To me, politics is deliberately making things better for some people by deliberately making them worse for others.

Polly: A woman of substance... and class.

Jarvis: Rather fun getting the communist unions to help get weapons to the Whites...

Tommy: You know, gentlemen, there is hell... and there is another place below hell. I will remember everything... and forget nothing.

Tommy: Tomorrow is a mistake.
Tatiana: Have you not heard? We have no morals, we Russians.
Tommy: And no fucking sense.
Tatiana: And no options. I would fuck you for the cause. What do you think of that?
Tommy: I think you should not drink vodka with champagne.

<< Начало

&  В конце концов, он был старик, которому интереснее было делиться собственным опытом.

&  Пожалуй, продолжал он, его ничто не может больше удивить. Он слышал от других, что в старости все должно быть неожиданно – даже то, что просыпаешься утром. Может, чтобы защититься от такого обвала неожиданностей, некоторые отращивают сюрпризонепроницаемую оболочку, которую часто принимают за самодостаточность. Даже те, кто внутри.

&  Он считал, что силки – гуманный жест со стороны отца: по крайней мере, у кролика был шанс обойти их. Он так и сказал отцу. Тот рассмеялся и потрепал Дж. П. по голове (тогда ему было лет двенадцать). Это мама настояла на силках, объяснил он, и вовсе не ради того, чтобы поступать с кроликами по-честному. Напротив, она полагала, что нет лучше дичи, чем кролик, который провел ночь в силках: мясо становилось просто восхитительно нежным. Она говорила, что это, по всей видимости, имеет отношение к продолжительности его страданий. Ружья убивают их слишком быстро.
     – Если бы продолжительность страданий оказывала такое же действие на людей, из нас получались бы лакомые кусочки, – сказал он.
     Не знаю, имел ли в виду он нас двоих, сидящих рядом на удобном диванчике в этой современной комнате, или все человечество в целом.

&  В детстве отец часто говорил мне: оглядись вокруг, сынок, посмотри на мир, на тысячи тысячелетий чумы и войн, голода, убийств, публичных и домашних зверств, несправедливости, предательства, геноцида. Только прожженные циники могут отрицать, что за всем этим стоит какой-то грандиозный план.

«Это самое крутое из Маккормака. Это история четырёх детей, внутри которых их отец зашил отрезанные конечности их матери. Это история человека, который умел принимать в своём теле 24 шпаги — и умер на 25-й, которую вонзила в него женщина, которую он любил. .........и самое чудовищное то, что ничего этого не было. Не было ни жизни ни смерти, ни корабля, ни детей, ни отца. Не было ничего, и тебя, дружок, нет, тебя нет, дружок. Маккормака нельзя описать. Его нужно читать.»

&  Жизнь за жизнью время с неуемным упорством стирает всех, кого стоило бы помнить, – вместе со всеми остальными. Это, по-моему, и есть великий урок истории; но и великое утешение.

&  Прошлое часто представляется мне осенним полем кукурузы, оставшейся догнивать на корню.

&  Странно, да? Мы все знаем, что важнее всего то, чего мы не говорим. А почти все, что мы говорим, – всего лишь камуфляж, или, может быть, доспехи. Или, быть может, повязка на рану.

&  Многие, проснувшись утром, не могут вспомнить, кто они есть. Большинство берут себя в руки и продолжают, как ни в чем не бывало, играть назначенные роли: мужа, официантки, банковского клерка, учителя, водителя автобусов. Они выучиваются оценивать ситуацию и, не паникуя, приспосабливаются к ней. Это происходит изо дня в день, обычное дело.

&  Ответы зависят от тех, кто задает вопросы.

&  – Как это по-детски, – сказала она, – верить, будто жизнь может перейти в деревья и растения. Ведь все, что от него осталось, – это история в словах. Ведь слова и есть в своем роде наши неувядающие цветы.

Pete: Are you gonna eat me?

Meacham: Just because you don't see something, doesn't mean it's not there.
Grace: And just because you say it's true, doesn't mean it is.

Meacham: See, my daughter... she knows a thing or two but only if it's staring at her in the face. If you go through life only seeing what's right in front of you... you're gonna miss out on a whole lot.

Meacham: What did I tell you? Magic.

Peaky Blinders 3×1

Episode #3.1

Undercover Officer: At some point in the near future Mr Churchill will want to speak to you in person, Mr Shelby. He has a job for you. We will be in touch.

Johnny: Here come the fucking cavalry. Late as usual.

Grace: I just wish Tommy was here...

Tommy: No cocaine. No sport. No telling fortunes. No racing. No fucking sucking petrol out of their fucking cars. ... But the main thing is, you bunch of fuckers, despite the provocation from the cavalry, no fighting! Oi! No fighting. No fucking fighting. ... NO! FUCKING! FIGHTING!

Tommy: I'm scared, Grace. ... And this is how I am when I'm scared.

Arthur: Until further notice... no fraternising with the foreigners.

Tommy: Right, let's... Arthur, let's raise a toast, eh? To love, to peace, to marriage!
Arthur: ...And to marriage.

Tommy: The Russians have made contact. We have to get used to how these bastards operate. For them, family is a weakness and they go after them. For me, family is my strength. And there's business to be done and I need you.

Tommy: Fuck speeches, fuck weddings. You're my best man every fucking day.

Kaledin: Constantine. The code is Constantine.

---

Arthur: The Turk's clean.
Kaledin: I am Russian.
Arthur: Same fucking thing.

Polly: You look absolutely beautiful. Welcome to the family.
Grace: Oh, I see. Tommy's orders. No upsets tonight.
Polly: Your hair, everything. Beautiful.

Grace: Promise me. Hm? A wedding vowel.
Tommy: I promise. No guns in the house and Charles will never see one.

Moss: Tommy, Arthur, Collins... May I introduce you to the Grand Duchess Tatiana Petrovna... from Tbilisi, Georgia?.. Grand Duchess, may I introduce you to the Shelby brothers? Small Heath, Birmingham... And, erm, good luck with this one, Tom.

Tommy: All I know is no variations. That's from Churchill himself.

Ruben: ...and the aristocracy don't believe in forgiveness.
Polly: Neither do the Shelbys.

Arthur: We should never have got into this, Tom... A factory break-in, that's what you said.
Tommy: Yeah, that's what it is. There's some shit that goes with it.

Tommy: ...And when it's done it's business as usual.

Tommy: Drink the fucking wine and smile. That's what I'm doing.

Tommy: More money than all those fucking toffs put together, eh?
Polly: And you're willing to gamble it all on one robbery.
Tommy: I'm a gambling man, Pol.

Exciting and New

Transparent 3×10

Trevor: Shel, let me ask you this. When was the last time you took some "you" time?
Shelly: Is that the same as "me" time?

Maura: Done with this farshtinkener phone.

Ali: Who the fuck is Trevor?
Shelly: Trevor is the gay who comes with the room.
Ali: Wow. I didn't get a gay with my room. Did you get a gay with your room?

Ali: Well, let's... let's say a prayer. Can I?
Maura: Do it.
Ali: This is your butt?
Maura: This was my butt. ....
Ali: Face the ocean and raise your arms. Great Mystery, Goddess, let us mark this moment to say goodbye to these tight, terrible Spanx!
Maura: Goodbye, tight, terrible Spanx!
Ali: Deliver us from feeling... bunched up in the ass!
Maura: Dayenu!
Ali: And restricted and confined! Let us just be!
Maura: Set us free!
Ali: Set us...
- FREE!

---

Ali: 3, 9, 18, 36. I promise they'll win. Please? ..... We're going to bet them all. .... I'm going to start with 3 because you just wrecked the binary and three 3's is 9, and you double that and have 18, and two 18's is 36. 36. All right, here we go.
Croupier: .... 22 black. 22 black.
Ali: What do you mean, that's it? We don't get another spin?

Sarah: Wow, you really get the bitterness of being a slave on that one.

Maura: I was on the deck of this ship, and I was looking out at the vastness of the ocean, and it was overwhelming, so what I did to steady myself was I imagined a point way, way out there, and I imagined how deep it would go, and of course it would go on forever. And then I just sort of get the vastness of the ocean... I mean, of all oceans, and... in that moment I can understand my pain... and the size of my fear. My actual self is so... tied up with it. With shame.

Shelly: I am on a completely different level. I get a poached egg on demand.

Shelly: ...So if you want to hear my story, my story wants to be heard by you.

Shelly:

♪ What it all boils down to ♪
♪ My friends ♪
♪ Is that everything's just ♪
♪ Fine, fine, fine ♪
♪ 'Cause I got one hand in my pocket ♪
♪ And the other one is hailin' a taxicab ♪
♪ Yeah ♪

Эрик Маккормак - Мистериум (5/5)

<< Ранее

&  Разум — будто луковица, а в центре ничего; или, во всяком случае, не более материальное, нежели радуга — дабы изучить, ее всякий раз приходится изобретать. Способны ли мы познать себя достаточно, чтобы понять, отчего поступаем так, а не иначе? Что касается познания других, даже если мы с ними близки, даже если мы любим их, едва пытаясь их описать, мы сознаем, до чего они нам не знакомы. И все равно мы превращаем их в слова и прикидываемся, будто разум их столь же прочен, сколь прочны их тела.

&  — Берегитесь, Максвелл, избытка книг. Я в молодости много читал. Ах, читатели! Мы теряем невинность прежде всех остальных. И затем жаждем красоты, и ужаса, и восторга, а в реальной жизни их запасы ограничены.

&  «Он словно ветка под водой. Прямая она — или узлом завязана?»

&  Когда история кажется правдивой и у нас нет способа ее опровергнуть, отчего бы нам в нее не поверить?

&  Если ты не знаешь, что не знаешь,
     ты думаешь, что знаешь;
     если ты не знаешь, что знаешь,
     ты думаешь, что не знаешь.
     Р. Д. Лэнг

&  Мне трудно примириться с мыслью о собственной смерти, хоть я вполне привычен к тому, что другие должны умирать. В этом отношении я остался незрелым, как в годы моего ученичества. Некоторых из нас мудрость и смирение посещают слишком поздно — если посетят вообще.

&  Я помню, что комиссар Блэр сказал мне в один из вещих своих моментов незадолго до смерти.
     — Джеймс, — сказал он, — подлинно мудры те, кому хватает мудрости не лишаться наивности.
     Когда я целиком это постигну, завершу ли я наконец мое ученичество?
