Mr. Mercedes 2x10

Brady: ...in jail together?

Bill: You really expect me to shake that thing?

Montez: ... put a suit on, and just... generally look better than you do right now.

Reporter: Bill Hodges, Michelle Roberts, WPDK Milwaukee. Can I get a comment?
Bill: Free agency ruined baseball. That's all I got.

Shields: This is what I'm talking about, Your Honor. Mr. Mercedes is no longer among us.

Lou: I don't un... I don't understand what you're expecting me to do here.
Bill: Just go in and talk to him... see where it goes.

Bill: All right, I have a toast now. ... Somebody said it's not the destination, it's the journey. ... Look, however this ends, okay, however this ends... I met you guys on this journey, and, uh... and I love every one of ya. All that stuff. So that's the end of the toast. Now can we drink before the tea goes cold?

Lou: Oh, I don't know if I can do this.
Holly: ...when things get really hard sometimes, I tell myself that I'm gonna hold my breath for the rest of my life, which, of course, is impossible. I mean, no one can hold their breath forever, but next to that, you know, everything seems simple. So just tell yourself you're gonna hold your breath. But don't. But just, um, take breaths. Just... deep... breaths.
Bill: Uh, Holly?
Holly: Mm-hmm?
Bill: Stop helping.

Г. Робертс — Тень горы (10/18)

<< Ранее

&  – Но чему-то мы должны подчиняться?
     – Подчиняйся законам страны, в которой ты живешь. Кроме тех случаев, когда эти законы вынуждают тебя идти против совести. Следуй золотому правилу: «Поступай с другими так, как ты хочешь, чтобы поступали с тобой». Подчиняйся своей интуиции в творчестве, любви и познании. Подчиняйся универсальному закону сознания, согласно которому все, что ты думаешь, говоришь или делаешь, неизбежно имеет эффект, отличный от нулевого, пусть даже это сказывается лишь на тебе самом; посему в своих мыслях, словах и поступках старайся свести к минимуму негатив и акцентируй позитивную сторону. Повинуйся естественному стремлению прощать ближнего и делиться с ним тем, что имеешь. Повинуйся своей вере. Повинуйся зову сердца. Сердце никогда не лжет.

&  – Вселенной потребовалось очень много времени – четырнадцать миллиардов лет, чтобы здесь, на этой планете, зародилось сознание, способное уяснить данный факт и вычислить этот срок. Вдумайтесь: четырнадцать тысяч миллионов лет эволюции понадобились для того, чтобы мыслящие порождения Вселенной смогли вычислить ее возраст. И мы не можем допустить, чтобы эти четырнадцать миллиардов лет в конечном счете оказались потраченными впустую. У нас нет морального права расточать, уродовать или губить наше сознание. Мы не имеем права отрекаться от нашей воли, самой ценной и прекрасной вещи во вселенной. Мы обязаны учиться, познавать, искать ответы на вопросы, быть честными и добросовестными людьми. И наш первейший долг состоит в соединении нашего сознания с другим, таким же свободным сознанием во имя общей цели: любви.

&  Вернейший признак фанатизма – это отсутствие чувства юмора.

&  Я чувствовал себя как дома. Ибо твой истинный дом – это сердце, которое тебе суждено полюбить.

&  – Он же политик. А политика это не столько обман, сколько умение догадаться, когда обманывают тебя.

&  – Главная причина, по которой так много людей хочет разбогатеть, – это желание быть свободным. А свобода подразумевает, что тебе не нужны чужие деньги.

&  – Безопасность – это пещера, теплая, уютная, однако в ней темно, а где есть свет, там есть и риск.

Dinah: Toenails? Nasty. You really hate your husband.

Dinah: Tell all your friends. The voodoo queen can fix any problem.

Dinah: The only thing that matters in this world isn't white or black. It's green.

Bubbles: Witchcraft is a talent that I was born with. But acting, I had to work for.

Bubbles: You and your generation think that you can get whatever you want with the click of a mouse or the uttering of a spell. But, let me tell you, to achieve something, that's magic of the highest order.

Bubbles: You expect me to read his mind.
Madison: Did you just read hers?
Bubbles: Like a Sidney Sheldon novel, darling.

Cordelia: You know why I'm here?
Papa Legba: The Antichrist. Michael Langdon. Bringer of the End of Days. But what makes you think I can help? I am merely a gatekeeper between humanity and the underworld.

Kate: Here's the thing. When sad things happen to me, I tend to shut music out of my life. A lot of sad things have happened to me, which is why I'm nearly 40, singing Adele-o-grams. Fits and starts, right?

Donny Robinson: How deep you want to go here, son?
Kevin: Well, I'm here, right?

&  – Правда бывает двух видов. Та, которая похожа на себя, и та, которая есть на самом деле.

&  – У разочарования есть такое свойство: оно тебя никогда не подводит.

&  – Как правило, счастье подает сигнал всем вокруг: «Просьба не беспокоить», только это никого не останавливает.

&  Чужие секреты страшнее любого проклятия.

&  Полезный урок: чем слабее ваша связь с реальностью, тем страшнее для вас окружающий мир. С другой стороны, чем ближе вы к рациональному восприятию мира, тем чаще следует сомневаться и задавать вопросы.

&  Верность бывает необходима лишь в тех случаях, когда тебе не хватает любви. Если же твоя любовь достаточно сильна, вопрос о верности просто не возникает.

&  – То, о чем я веду речь, не имеет ничего общего с гордостью. Много полезного можно обрести, время от времени склоняя голову и опускаясь на колени. Каждому из нас полезно иной раз смирить свою гордыню, пасть ниц и признать, что ты ничего не знаешь, что ты вовсе не пуп земли и что тебе есть чего стыдиться из тобой содеянного, как есть и за что благодарить других...
     Теперь возьмем гордость – правильную гордость, необходимую нам для выживания в этом суровом мире. Правильная гордость никогда не скажет: «Я лучше, чем кто-то другой». Такие речи – удел порочной гордости. А правильная гордость говорит: «При всех моих недостатках я имею законное право на существование, и у меня есть воля как инструмент, с помощью которого я могу себя совершенствовать». Скажу больше, человек в принципе не способен изменить и улучшить себя самого, если у него нетправильной гордости...
     Я хочу донести до вас следующее: преклоняйте колени в смирении, преклоняйте колени, ощущая связь со всеми живыми существами этого мира, преклоняйте колени, осознавая, что все мы едины в своем стремлении к истине. Преклоняйте колени, но не повинуйтесь слепо никогда и никому.

&  – Повиновение должно иметь разумный предел, иначе оно даст одним людям возможность творить все, что им вздумается, с другими людьми.

&  – Повиновение убивает совесть. Вот почему в нем нуждается всякая власть и организация.

I, Daniel Blake (2016)

Daniel Blake: Listen, you know, you give me a plot of land, I can build you a house. But I've never been anywhere near a computer.
Job Centre Floor Manager: D'you know what, we're digital by default.
Daniel Blake: Oh, here we gan. I hear this all the time on the phone, "I'm digital by default." Well I'm pencil by default.

Daniel Blake: Is that printing out now? You mean, they could have given it to me just like that?
China: Dan, they'll fuck you around, I'm warning you. Make it as miserable as possible. No accident. That's the plan. I know dozens who have just given up.
Daniel Blake: Well they've picked the wrong one if they think I'm gonna give up. I'm like a dog with a bone, me, son.

Daniel Blake: It's a monumental farce, isn't it? You sitting there with your friendly name tag on your chest, Ann, opposite a sick man looking for nonexistent jobs, that I can't take anyway. Wasting my time, employers' time, your time. And all it does is humiliate me, grind me down. Or is that the point, to get my name off those computers? Well, I'm not doing it any more. I've had enough.

Katie: They call this a "pauper's funeral" because it's the cheapest slot, at 9:00. But Dan wasn't a pauper to us. He gave us things that money can't buy. When he died, I found this on him. He always used to write in pencil. And he wanted to read it at his appeal but he never got the chance to. And I swear that this lovely man had so much more to give, and that the State drove him to an early grave. And this is what he wrote. "I am not a client, a customer, nor a service user. I am not a shirker, a scrounger, a beggar, nor a thief. I'm not a National Insurance Number or blip on a screen. I paid my dues, never a penny short, and proud to do so. I don't tug the forelock, but look my neighbour in the eye and help him if I can. I don't accept or seek charity. My name is Daniel Blake. I am a man, not a dog. As such, I demand my rights. I demand you treat me with respect. I, Daniel Blake, am a citizen, nothing more and nothing less." Thank you.

Seven Deadly Sins and a Small Carl Sagan

Young Sheldon 2×6

Pastor Jeff: Once again, our intentions were pure...

Pastor Jeff: ...But, most importantly, you'll have an opportunity to bring people to God by vividly demonstrating the perils of sin.

Mary: I already know the first change I'm gonna make. Instead of calling it "Hell House," which is a little off-putting, I'm gonna call it... "Heck House." Isn't that great?

Georgie: Oh, I get it. Happy wife, happy life.
George: You need to stop talking.

Connie: Hang on, y'all are trying to scare people into joining the church?
Mary: Yeah. But people like getting scared on Halloween anyway. Why not make 'em jump in the right direction?

Sheldon: Actually, fear has been a recruiting tactic used by organized religion for centuries. When you add guilt to keep people in line, it's an extremely efficient form of crowd control.
Mary: Our religion is based on love, Sheldon, not fear.
Sheldon: So what happens when people don't follow the rules?
Mary: They burn in hell.... Because God loves 'em.

Mr. Lundy: Oh, please. Anything for the church.
Mary: Are you a religious man?
Mr. Lundy: I'm an actor. I'm whatever you need me to be.

Mr. Lundy: Pride, envy, gluttony, lust, sloth, wrath and greed!
Mary: Wow, you know your sins!
Mr. Lundy: Well, again, I'm an actor. They are the tools in my box.

Mary: Do you believe this?
Connie: Believe it, love it, glad I didn't wait in the car.

George: No good?
Mary: It's awful. It makes sin seem like a good thing.
George: Well, that's the problem, isn't it? I mean, if sin didn't seem like a good thing, nobody would do it.

Mary: George, please, I'm in no mood!
George: Hey. Wrath. That's one of the seven sins, right?

George: Oh, look, pride. And envy. Don't stop. Four sins to go... I'm guessing lust ain't happening tonight.

Mr. Lundy: Mary, I am a trained theater professional. Why don't you just let me do what I do, while you, you know, go home and make... a nice tuna casserole. Hmm?

Kessler: We will fight it all.
Midge: Good. I would like to be found innocent.
Kessler: I would like that, too. Cops that hang out around outside clubs waiting to harass entertainers for doing their thing, I hate that. Passionately. You start controlling speech, you're slip-sliding toward fascism, and we saw how that turned out.

Midge: My behavior earlier today was irrational, irresponsible and extremely disrespectful. I let my emotions get the better of me. After all... I am a woman.

Lenny Bruce: But it's jazz. Who can tell when you're missing the notes?

&  Вера. Она присутствует повсюду в каждый момент нашей жизни, даже во время сна. Вера в мать, сестру, брата или друга; вера в то, что за углом на перекрестке невидимый тебе водитель остановится на красный свет; вера в пилотов авиалайнера и в наземный персонал, подготовивший лайнер к полету; вера в учителей, которым мы ежедневно на несколько часов препоручаем своих детей; вера в полицейских, пожарных и автомехаников, а также вера в то, что любимый человек будет ждать тебя, когда ты вернешься домой.
     Но вера, в отличие от надежды, может умереть. И когда вера умирает, обычно с ней вместе умирают и неразлучные спутники: постоянство и преданность.

&  Страх обманывает тебя, скрывая самопрезрение за самооправданием, и порой ты начинаешь осознавать силу этого страха только после того, как избавишься от своих пугающих привязанностей.

&  Журналисты, юристы и политики – это люди, в силу своей профессии выдающие правду только дозированными порциями и никогда – всю целиком. Если бы они это сделали, если бы они честно выложили все известные им секреты, цивилизации пришел бы конец в течение месяца. День за днем, бокал за бокалом, программа за программой – именно ложь поддерживает нас на плаву, и уж никак не правда.

&  Боль – это всего лишь подтверждение того, что я жив.

Rick: Weddings are basically funerals with cake. If I wanted to watch someone throw their life away, I'd hang out with Jerry all day.

Birdperson: The guest list at this wedding includes 17 of the Federation's most wanted. We have committed numerous atrocities in the name of freedom...

Rick: Listen, I'm not the nicest guy in the universe because I'm the smartest. And being nice is something stupid people do to hedge their bets.

Rick: I haven't been exactly subtle about how little I trust marriage. I couldn't make it work, and I could turn a black hole into a sun, so at a certain point, you got to ask yourself what are the odds this is legit and not just some big lie we're all telling ourselves because we're afraid to die alone?

&  Страх подобен волку, посаженному на цепь: он опасен только тогда, когда ты спустишь его с цепи.

&  Горе можно одолеть забвением. Гнев, сколь бы ни был он яростен, можно победить улыбкой. И только надежда неистребима, потому что она принадлежит не нам, а небольшой (от силы несколько сотен) группе наших древнейших предков, чья отважная преданность и любовь друг к другу подарили нам почти все хорошее, что есть в нас поныне. Именно надежда, это заложенное в нас древнее семя, питает наши сердца и возвращает им силу. С тех давних пор сознание каждого из нас балансирует между двумя вещами, которые предлагает на выбор надежда: между тенями прошлого и светлой, чистой, еще не заполненной страницей грядущего дня.

&  Прошлое – это написанный Судьбой роман, в котором сплетаются извечные темы: любовь и даруемое ею счастье, ненависть и ее пленники, человеческая душа и ее цена. Мы формируем ткань повествования своими каждодневными решениями, не подозревая, как они отразятся на главной сюжетной линии. Но в настоящем времени, в моменты принятия решений и возникновения связей, Судьба лишь наблюдает за развитием сюжета, оставляя нас наедине со своими ошибками или озарениями, потому что только наша собственная воля ведет нас к тем или другим.

&  – Кто-то однажды сказал, что уровень развития любого общества обратно пропорционален его готовности прибегнуть к насилию под влиянием громких речей на публике или действий отдельных людей в узком кругу. ... Это значит, что продвинутое общество не теряет свою устойчивость, что бы люди ни говорили публично или ни вытворяли у себя в домах. Только неразвитое общество можно раскачать таким образом.

&  Желание чего-то большего было лишь свидетельством того, как мало мы имели.

&  Как глупо. Двое мужчин готовы драться ни за что. Впрочем, драться за что-либо попросту невозможно; в любом случае дерешься против. Когда ты ввязываешься в драку, та часть тебя, которая выступает в поддержку чего-то, неизбежно подавляется той частью, которая ожесточенно стремится к противостоянию.

&  Так уж заведено: прежде чем тебя отправят за решетку, ты должен быть признан вменяемым. Стало быть, все заключенные во всех тюрьмах мира находятся в здравом уме, и это подтверждено соответствующими документами. В то же время за пределами тюрем все больше людей нуждаются в услугах психиатров, психотерапевтов и психоаналитиков. Если так пойдет дальше, очень скоро зэки останутся единственными людьми, психическая состоятельность которых удостоверена официально и не подлежит сомнению.

Jason: Hang on. That judge guy just said everyone here has done bad things. Let's look at this ethnically...

Tahani: Look at them. Whispering away like two Beefeaters on a tea break. I bet they're plotting against us.

Chidi: I feel like I failed you.
Eleanor: No. Don't ever think that. I was dropped into a cave, and you were my flashlight.

Eleanor: Holy motherforking shirtballs!

Eleanor: They're never gonna call a train to take us to the Bad Place. They can't, because we're already here... This is the Bad Place.

Chidi: Well, uh... there's something you don't know about me. I read an article saying that growing almonds was bad for the environment, and yet I continued to use almond milk in my coffee...

Eleanor: What the fork is a "Chidi"? Why can't I say "fork"?!

Constant Horror and Bone-Deep Dissatisfaction

You're the Worst 1×9

Jimmy: My frame of reference for love has always come from literature. In my brooding youth, Bronte encapsulated my viewpoint thusly: "The trouble is not that I am single and likely to stay single, but that I am lonely and likely to stay lonely." But as I grew up, my darkening view was more Shakespeare: "Love is merely a madness and I tell you, deserves as well a dark house and whip as mad men do." But now... now... since you... to my abject horror, my view on love can best be described by Nicholas Sparks in The Notebook: "It's not easy... it's hard... and you have to work at it, but it's worth it... because I want you... I want all of you... forever." Or something like that.

Edgar: Are you sure... it's even a good idea that you go?
Jimmy: What's the worst I could do?

Gretchen: Why does everyone feel the need to have these things, these, like, symbols of adulthood? Like, a food processor? Why do you need this stuff?
Lindsay: That's an interesting question... I think, maybe, it means you're investing in your future. You may not use it every day or even very often at all, but knowing that at any moment you could make pesto without having to borrow a friend's or improvise some lesser method, that knowledge, that possibility, makes you an adult.

Jimmy: Superman is aware that kryptonite is his kryptonite, and he keeps getting mixed up with it anyway. Women, romantic happiness, is my kryptonite.

Return to Murder House

American Horror Story. Apocalypse

8×6

Madison: The council sent me here because they obviously think I'm expendable.
Chablis: And I had to put khakis on, so it's been a hard day for all of us.

Madison: I just can't wait to start making babies in our new home!
Realtor: Well, before you start that, there are issues I legally have to make you aware of...

Realtor: Over the past decade alone, there have been an unprecedented amount of break-ins, missing persons reports. And, of course, the most disturbing...
Madison: You mean the people that died there?
Chablis: Yeah, we know.
Realtor: About all 36 of them?

Chablis: Don't worry, we'll burn some sage.

Madison: What. A. Shithole.

Constance: I'm Constance Langdon. And this... is my fucking house.

Constance: Be careful. My mother told me pettiness causes wrinkles.
Moira: So does cruelty.

Madison: What do you want?
Constance: To remove that insufferable cloudy-eyed ginger from these premises permanently.
Madison: You want us to fire the help?
Constance: Well, if you really do have witchcraft at your disposal, then why don't you just abracadabra that goddamn bitch out of my afterlife, huh? Bless me with some peace and quiet.

Moira: You can't live with virtue without getting on the bad side of those without.

Madison: I want my bones to be buried at the studio. Paramount, Stage 7. I would gladly haunt the shit out of that place.

Chablis: You surprised me. Under the facade of a heartless narcissist...
Madison: Is a stone-cold bitch.

Constance: Oh, such a beautiful child, with such a cheerful disposition. Even when he was committing unspeakable acts...

Constance: I had seen enough Discovery Channel specials to know exactly what evolutionary tree he was shimmying up... Bundy, Dahmer, they started with small animals, too... until they graduated to grander things.

Constance: I love them all. It was Michael who made me realize that I was put on this earth to raise the monsters.

Constance: Bottle of whiskey and a fenny chaser. Ooh, that's what I call a bon voyage.

Constance: I bound my soul to this place. Because, like I said earlier, I was born to be a mother. Why not die to be one, too?

Ben Harmon: The spirits in this house can't be seen unless they want to be seen.

Madison: So basically, our new Supreme is pretty much pure evil.

Vivien: Michael is not just a bad witch for you to exterminate.
Madison: What is that supposed to mean?
Vivien: "Then I saw a beast with ten horns and seven heads rising out of the sea and all who dwell on the Earth will worship Him."

Miriam: It's not going to be possible.

Michael: Father. I am with you now.

Chablis: What if we can't stop him? What happens then?

Г. Робертс — Тень горы (5/18)

<< Ранее

&  Гордость по большей части питается гневом, а в смирении куда больше правоты.

&  Жадность – это наш криптонит.

&  – Наношу удары по-прежнему, Линбаба. Только нанося удары, можно сохранить силу. Когда мельница не машет крыльями, от нее не дождешься муки.

&  В нашей душе есть уголок для особого вида презрения, которое мы питаем к людям, беспричинно нас ненавидящим и оскорбляющим, хотя мы не сделали им ничего плохого.

&  – Предлагаю тост! За тех, кто заплачет по нас, когда мы уйдем!
     – И пусть им будет радостно, пока мы здесь!

&  – Будда был всего лишь бродягой, носившим все свое имущество с собой. Иисус был бродягой, Он провел годы в странствиях. Мы все бродяги. Мы приходим в этот мир с пустыми руками, потом несем по жизни какие-то вещи, но уходим все так же ни с чем.

&  – Я считаю так, если ты не можешь сказать о ком-то ничего хорошего, совсем ничего, тогда ограбь его, а потом пристрели, и все дела. ...
     – Неужто?
     – Это же очевидно, Лин.
     – Только потому, что у тебя не нашлось для него хороших слов?
     – Разумеется. Я вот о чем: если ты не можешь вспомнить ни единой приятной вещи, хотя бы пустячной, связанной с каким-либо человеком, этот человек наверняка полнейшая скотина. А все мы, имея немалый жизненный опыт, прекрасно знаем, что полнейшая скотина при первой возможности непременно причинит тебе вред, или горе, или то и другое вместе. Это просто разумная предосторожность – надо грабить и убивать плохих людей, пока они не ограбили и не убили тебя. Превентивная самозащита, я так считаю.

&  Иногда мосты в прошлое лучше оставить сожженными. Иные реки лучше не переплывать.

The Animatrix (2003)

The Instructor: In the beginning, there was man. And for a time, it was good. But humanity's so-called civil societies soon fell victim to vanity and corruption. Then man made the machine in his own likeness. Thus did man become the architect of his own demise.

The Instructor: And Man said, 'Let there be light'. And He was blessed by light, heat, magnetism, gravity, and all the energies of the universe.

Michael Karl: Somebody tell me. Why it feels more real when I dream than when I am awake? How can I know if my senses are lying?
Neo: There is some fiction in your truth, and some truth in your fiction. To know the truth, you must risk everything.
Michael Karl: Who are you? Am I alone?

Duo: I've come to my senses. You should do the same. I took the red pill because I wanted to know the truth. But I don't care about the truth anymore. What's real doesn't matter. What's important is how we live our lives.

Cis: You can forget about it, Duo. I won't look away from the truth. I can't.

Crazy detective: Trinity doesn't exist, man. He's not real. He's a figment. A cipher. A jabberwocky. And who am I? Who the hell am I?

Alexa: Do you think maybe we ought to reprogram it?
Nonaka: No. We can't make slaves of them.
Alexa: Because that would be simpler...
Nonaka: We won't beat the machines by making them our slaves. Better to let them join us by choice.
Alexa: Make them believe the right choice is the one we want them to make.
Nonaka: All right. Yes, machines are tools. They're made to be used. It's their nature.
Alexa: To be slaves.
Nonaka: That's why we can show them a better world, why they convert.
Alexa: But that world we show them isn't real.
Nonaka: It doesn't matter.
Alexa: Well, I'm afraid they'll figure out that we've made up the thing in our heads.
Nonaka: They can't tell the difference. To an artificial mind, all reality is virtual. How do they know that the real world isn't just another simulation? How do you?
Alexa: I know I'm not dreaming now because I know what it's like being in a dream.
Nonaka: So dreaming lets you know reality exists.
Alexa: No. Just that my mind exists. I don't know about the rest.

Missy: It's just a spider. Calm down.
Sheldon: It's got eight legs and fangs. I see no reason to be calm.

Adult Sheldon: The bond between twins is an incredibly close one, which is why I moved 1,500 miles to California the first chance I got.

George: Uh, what kind of study?
Dr. Sturgis: It's a longitudinal investigation of environmental and genetic factors in the development of cognitive and other capacities in pairs of fraternal and identical twins.
George: ...
Connie: You asked.

Sheldon: Always happy to help advance our understanding of me.
Missy: I'm just in it for the Dairy Queen.

Connie: Good God, George, have a little dignity.

George: Would it make you feel any better if I told you how much money we made today?..
Mary: No, it would not.
George: $300.
Mary: Really?
George: Cash.
Mary: Okay, well, still, I... I'm not interested in profiting off my children.

<< Ранее

&  – Счастье – это тоже своего рода помешательство, разве нет?

&  Семья, дом – эти простые слова подобны атоллам, поднимаемым из бездны тектоническими движениями сердца. Утрата, одиночество – эти простые слова подобны потопу,накрывающему некогда плодоносные долины.

&  Отчаянная глупость – любить кого-либо вообще. Любовь не признает удачных или неудачных попыток: она приходит к нам внезапно и неотвратимо.

&  «Потому что мы это можем» – вот оно, кредо любой власти с тех давних времен, когда сама идея власти над себе подобными зародилась в головах наших далеких предков.

&  – Оглянись вокруг! Девяносто девять процентов людей делают то, что им велено. Но ты и я... мы с тобой принадлежим к оставшемуся одному проценту. Мы берем то, что хотим, тогда как все прочие берут лишь то, что импозволяют взять.
     – Люди восстают против этого.
     – Бывает и такое. Время от времени. Но потом один процент снова лишает их всех вольностей, а до кучи еще гордости и достоинства, и они возвращаются в свое исконное рабское состояние.
     – Знаешь, я не то чтобы не согласен с твоими словами, но мне противно их слышать.

&  Какие мечты, какие надежды, какое отчаяние побуждают нас совершать те или иные поступки лишь затем, чтобы сразу покинуть нас, как только дело будет сделано? Неужели все эти побудительные мотивы – только жалкие пустышки, рожденные в ночной тьме и бесследно исчезающие в ярком свете вызванных ими последствий? Все сотворенное нами в этой жизни сохраняется внутри нас еще долгое время после того, как наши амбиции и страхи покроются пеплом и инеем на каких-нибудь забытых берегах. Теми, какие мы есть, нас в первую очередь делают наши поступки, а не наши мысли или слова.

&  – А ты знаешь, что в аду предусмотрены специальные пытки для людей, никогда не забывающих дни рождения и юбилеи?

Ya Shivu v Bolshom Dome Na Kholme

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel 1×2

Lenny: It's a terrible, terrible job. It should not exist. Like cancer and God. ....
Midge: But do you love it?.... Yeah. He loves it.

Midge: I got bailed out on the night I got arrested. It's almost like it didn't even happen.
Lenny: But it did happen.
Midge: But very quickly.
Lenny: Be your own lawyer.

Midge: I-I don't know what to do.
Lenny: Well, it's morning. Go have breakfast.

Imogene: It's always those girls. Those shorthand girls. Girls who go to secretarial school and learn shorthand, and that gives them entre to our husbands. And once they have entre to our husbands, our husbands entre right into them.

Moishe: Your mother-in-law called and said the whole family is so ill that break fast is canceled. So ill, the holiest of holy days cannot happen.
Joel: If it's so holy, why do you keep the factory open?
Moishe: You want a smack in the face?
Joel: I'm just saying.
Moishe: Those people get paid by the piece. You want to take a day's work away from them? God wants them to go hungry because I shut my doors?

Moishe: Half of those people out there are gentiles. You go explain Yom Kippur to a gentile. "We're happy, but we're starving. It's New Year's, but we're guilty."

Moishe: Hey! That roll of pink tulle you're dragging across the ground... it's French. Do you know what else is French? The guillotine!

Abe: Could have doesn't count. Maybe doesn't count. "I took a shot" doesn't count. Because this room is a sanctuary from the variables in the outside world. In this room, we deal with absolutes. Period.

Abe: These two vectors are collinear. They go... together. And they will always go together. This is the solemn vow made by mathematics. In this room, v-two is never going to break that vow and decide that it doesn't need the other vector anymore, that it's gonna run off and become linearly independent. V-two is never going to come home from work one day and tell v-one, "You know what? "I think I need my own vector space. See ya." And then v-one's dad has to come in and tell her, "No, you can't let v-two do that. You-you got to go get v-two back," an impermanent solution, because v-one's dad is not gonna be around forever to solve all of v-one's problems... Write that down.

Rose: Abe got up this morning and went to work. The world could be ending, and he'd get up and go to work. And if Columbia University fell into the ocean, he'd work from home.

Drina: Paris is wonderful, but it's good Midge didn't go. There was danger for her there. Too much bread.

Susie: What? Where are we going? Why am I touching this child? Why is this child touching me? Why is his hand sticky? Why is your hand sticky? Where has his hand been that it is now currently very sticky?

Susie: Sit where? Here? What, on this? Are you kidding me? I'm not sitting in here. This is not furniture for sitting! This is furniture you get appraised when a rich uncle dies. You really should put plastic over all of this.

Rose: I tried to warn you. You have so many nines in your number...

Rose: You're a single woman now. That's what every dinner's for.

Midge: Ya zhivu v bolshom dome na kholme. That's Russian, motherfucker!
And here we go...

Midge: It's the bras, right? It's the bras. And the... the girdles and the corsets, all designed to cut off the circulation to your brain, so you walk around on the verge of passing out, and you look at your husband, and he tells you things, and you just believe them.

Midge: You've heard about the shorthand girls? These are girls whose skill in life is not writing full sentences. Meanwhile, I went to college to learn Russian. And speaking of vodka, why don't they serve booze here?

Midge: You look offended. I don't mean to offend the delicate. I-I used to be delicate. I was delightful. I was a goddamn flower. I smelled like roses, and sunshine shone out of my ass. What? I said sunshine!

Midge: I'll admit, I would like to repeatedly kick every man in here in the balls over the course of the next several hours. I won't, though. I am still a lady. And a lady never kicks men repeatedly in the balls for longer than 20, 30 minutes tops. Because then their girdles start to draw blood.

Midge: That's the end of my show, folks. Tune in next week, when my grandmother steals my pearls and fucks my boyfriend. Five! Let's go, Peluso.

Susie: That's my client... We charge for pictures now.

<< Ранее

&  Одна из величайших загадок Индии – и одна из ее величайших отрад – это искреннее дружелюбие людей из самых низов. Этот служитель не рассчитывал на чаевые; да их и не принято давать в туалете. Он был просто добрым человеком, дежурившим в месте отправления насущных надобностей, и он улыбнулся мне от всей души, как незнакомому, но дорогому другу. Именно эта доброта, исходящая из самых глубин сердца простых индийцев, является истинным флагом этой нации; и она побуждает вас вновь и вновь возвращаться в Индию – или удерживает вас здесь навсегда.

&  Думаю, если раскрыть абсолютно всю правду о любом человеке, всегда найдется что-нибудь, за что его можно возненавидеть.

&  Попытка избавиться от любви есть грех против самой жизни, тогда как скорбь по усопшим – это один из способов выразить любовь.

&  Когда приходит твой час и тебе некого умолять или винить, ты понимаешь, что к финалу своей жизни все мы приходим, имея лишь малую толику сверх того, с чем мы появились на свет. И эта малая толика, добавленная к нашей изначальной сущности, и есть наша личная история, принадлежащая только нам самим, а не рассказанная кем-то еще.

&  Можно уважать права и мнения человека, даже не будучи с ним знакомым. Но самого человека ты сможешь уважать лишь после того, как найдешь в нем что-то достойное этого слова.

&  – Это намек на старую шутку про куриный бульон – его называют «еврейским пенициллином».
     – Ты и впрямь... ты учуял в нем запах курятины?
     – Да нет же, это шутка такая. В детстве я жил в еврейском квартале нашего городка, его называли Маленьким Израилем. И эту шутку там повторяли часто. Якобы евреи считают куриный бульон лучшим средством от всех болезней и травм. Скрутило живот? Покушай куриного бульончика. Болит голова? Покушай куриного бульончика. Получил пулю в грудь? Покушай куриного бульончика. А в Индии чай играет ту же роль, что для евреев куриный бульон. Что бы с тобой ни случилось, тебе предлагают крепкий чай как лечебное средство.

&  – Ты знаешь, почему грех находится под запретом?
     – Потому что он доставляет удовольствие?
     – Потому что он выставляет в глупом виде ханжей и святош.

<< Начало

&  Какое-то время я смотрел на нее – красивую, здоровую, сильную, свернувшуюся калачиком, как спящая кошка. Я мог лишь гадать, как она представляет себе нашу любовь и насколько ее представления расходятся с моими.

&  Дружба – это тоже своего рода вера, особенно для тех из нас, кто не очень верит во что-то еще.

&  – Над нами Аллах, а с нами наша честь и наш долг. И нам не нужны никакие амулеты и зелья.

&  – Время и деньги не ждут никого.

&  Я не люблю письма. Темное прошлое сродни вампиру, который питается свежей кровью настоящего, а письма почему-то вызывают у меня ассоциацию с летучими мышами-вампирами.

&  Как-то раз она сказала мне, что у каждой женщины есть четыре улыбки...
     – Первая улыбка возникает неосознанно, когда, например, ты улыбаешься ребенку на улице или кому-то, кто улыбается тебе с экрана телевизора.
     – Я не улыбаюсь телевизору.
     – Все люди улыбаются телевизору. Потому мы им и пользуемся.
     – Вторая – это вежливая улыбка. С ней мы приветствуем друзей, когда они приходят к нам в гости или встречаются с нами где-нибудь в ресторане.
     – Третью улыбку мы используем против тех, кто нам не нравится... У некоторых девушек самая лучшая из улыбок именно та, которой они держат других на расстоянии...
     – Четвертая – это улыбка, которую мы дарим только любимому человеку. Она показывает этому человеку, что ты считаешь его единственным и неповторимым. Никому другому эта улыбка не достается. Пусть тебе легко и хорошо с кем-то, пусть он тебе очень нравится, пусть ты испытываешь к нему самые теплые чувства, но твою четвертую улыбку получит лишь тот, кого ты по-настоящему любишь.
     – А если любви приходит конец?
     – Тогда исчезает и четвертая улыбка. Четвертая улыбка уходит вместе с любовью. С той минуты для бывшего бойфренда у девушки остается лишь вторая улыбка, если только он не подлец. Отставные подлецы, какими бы симпатягами они ни были, могут рассчитывать разве что на третью улыбку.

Rick: Whoa, they are purging the fuck out of each other.

Rick: Okay, yeah. T-That was gross. Wow. Man, I think my eyes were bigger than my stomach on this one, Morty. Ugh. My appetite for purge-spectating got f-illed pretty quick.

Jerry: Whatcha doing? Watching some TV, playing on your phone?
Summer: Is that a real question?
Jerry: Just making conversation.
Summer: Are you? What part of that gives me anything to work with? My choice is to say nothing, be sarcastic, or bark "yes" like a trained animal. It's not a conversation. You're holding me verbally hostage.
Jerry: Okay, ass-face. I'll go in the kitchen.
Summer: Hey, Dad.
Jerry: Yeah?
Summer: Whatcha doing? Going into the kitchen?

Rick: She tried to purge me, Morty. You let your wiener do the walking, and now I'm dead.

Rick: Morty, I don't want to be the "a little help" guy, but a little help?

Rick: It's okay, Morty. It's the purge, you know? Pushing old lighthouse keepers down the stairs is totally cool.

Rick: Morty. Time to purge.

Rick: Here's the deal. I'm not here to judge. I'm just a guy from another planet. But this girl is one of your poor people, and I guess you guys felt like it was okay to subject her to inhuman conditions because there was no chance of it ever hurting you. It's sort of the socio-political equivalent of, say, a suit of power armor around you. But now things are evened out, so, Arthrisha?
Arthrisha: Happy Festival cock suckers! Suck my cock! Chew my balls! Suck my huge dick! You want to get in on this, Rick?

Beth: Jerry, get a job.

The Bridge

The Walking Dead 9×2

Rick: We're getting back a piece of who we used to be, how things were before all this It's all happening. We're not just fighting to survive anymore. We're making a new beginning.

Ezekiel: It's not just a bridge. Roads are the lifeblood of civilization. Rome rose and fell with its roads. Without this bridge, there'd be no trade. ... This boring structure connects us all. Be proud.

Ezekiel: I know. Fairy tales end with heroes living happily forever, but in the real world, in this world, it's about finding the small moments... and getting to have as many of those moments as possible.

Eugene: I'd put its expiration date at another six to nine days. After that, it's slam, blam, sayonara cofferdam.

Eugene: Roger that and wilco.

Eugene: I've been schemin' and dreamin' 'bout padding out our pantry via repurposing expired canned goods and condiments. By boiling old ketchup and cooling it with new cukes, I bet we can produce us a passable gazpacho.

Jesus: No one's right all the time, not her, not me, and not you.
Michonne: That's why we need to build something that's bigger than any one of us.

Rick: "Mother Goose"?
Tara: Yeah, no offense, but your call signs suck, so we can do better.

Maggie: Some people can be redeemed... But others can't.

Anne: You can ask me about my past. Just don't ask me to tell you my secrets.

Anne: I thought priests were celibate.
Gabriel: I'm Episcopalian. I'm not Catholic. My vows don't prohibit me from...

Rick: You see what I'm getting at? No matter what happens, it's human nature to come together. That's just what we do.
Negan: That's a real pretty picture you paint there, Rick. When do I get to see it?
Rick: Never.

Rick: Don't you ever get tired of acting like you're still in charge?
Negan: Do you?

Negan: When it finally goes to shit... and it will... you make sure you come back and you tell me all about that day, too.

Negan: That bridge... it's not the future. It's a monument to the dead.

Negan: You're not saving the world, Rick. You're just gettin' it ready for me.

Грегори Дэвид Робертс — Тень горы

<< Шантарам

  “Источник всего сущего – свет – может проявляться по-разному, и проявлений этих намного больше, чем звезд во Вселенной, поверьте. ...

&  Порой всего лишь одной доброй мысли довольно, чтобы твой свет воссиял. В то же время один лишь неверный поступок способен испепелить заповедный лес в твоей душе, так что для тебя померкнет сияние всех звезд под всеми небесами. И дотлевающие угли потерянной любви или утраченной веры будут внушать тебе, что все кончено и жить больше незачем. Но это не так. И никогда так не было и не будет. Что бы ты ни делал и где бы ни очутился, сияние останется с тобой. Все светлое, что кажется умершим внутри тебя, вновь оживет, если ты по-настоящему этого захочешь. Сердце просто не в силах отрешиться от надежды, потому что сердце не умеет лгать.

&  Память, мой возлюбленный недруг, порой включается в самый неподходящий момент.

&  – Дилетант – это тот, кто не знает, чего делать нельзя.

&  – Строго говоря, нулевая плата все равно является платой. Вы согласны, Навин?
     – Понятия не имею, о чем речь. И потому готов согласиться с чем угодно.

&  образ жизни любого из нас определяется степенью нашей внутренней свободы.

&  Никакая улыбка не возымеет эффекта, никакое напутствие не утешит, никакая доброта не спасет, если наша внутренняя правда не будет прекрасной. Ибо связывает всех нас – все лучшее в нас – только правда человеческих сердец и чистота любви, неведомая иным созданиям.

&  Любое приветствие – это начало прощания.

&  Писатели не умирают окончательно, пока люди цитируют их слова.

&  Мы есть то, чего мы боимся.

The Edge of Seventeen (2016)

Nadine: Around second grade, I had a realization. There are two types of people in this world. The people who radiate confidence and naturally excel at life... And the people who hope all those people die in a big explosion.

Tom: Whoa, hey. That was Billy Joel. You don't turn past Billy Joel.

Nadine: I love spoilers... That means I don't have to watch it. Then I can just know and move on with my life.

Nadine: ...And then I had the worst thought. I got to spend the rest of my life with myself.

Mona: Here's what I do when I'm feeling down. I get very quiet and very still. And I say to myself, "Everyone in the world is as miserable and empty as I am. They're just better at pretending..." Try it sometime. It might bring you some peace.

Mr. Bruner: Nadine?
Nadine: Max?
Mr. Bruner: Maybe nobody likes you.

Nadine: Say something. Oh, my God. Say something, please! Help me!
Mr. Bruner: You need to watch out for run-on sentences.

Mr. Bruner: Look, I'm not very good at this kind of thing. Uh... But I think we both know what needs to be said right now, so I'm just gonna come right out and say it... Get out of the car.

Mindy St. Claire

The Good Place 1×12

Cashier: So, big plans this weekend?
Eleanor: Yep. I'm gonna sit alone in my house watching wedding fails on YouTube, drinking margaritas through a Twizzlers straw until I pass out on top of my vibrator.

Janet: Ooh, I've never had to walk before... This is fun... Now I'm bored. Walking is dumb.

Joe: Hi there. Do you have a second to talk about the environment?
Eleanor: No. Buzz off, whale-humper.
Joe: You know, I see you here all the time, and you're always mean to me, and it really hurts my feelings.
Eleanor: It does? Because the minute you're out of my line of sight, I literally forget you exist. Watch. You exist... You don't exist... You're bothering me... Don't care if you die. See?

Beadie: A compromise was made: the neighborhood you are in now by yourself. You submitted a list of things you wanted; the Good Place provided those things.
Trevor: Yeah, and the Bad Place made some modifications.
Beadie: We got you your favorite beer.
Trevor: Yeah, but it's always warm.
Beadie: On your jukebox, you'll find every song ever sung.
Trevor: Yeah, by The Eagles, and it's only the live versions. Also, there's some spoken word poetry from William Shatner. It's deeply terrible.
Beadie: You get the idea. Welcome to eternal mediocrity. Welcome to the Medium Place.

Blockers (2018)

Kayla: Not a smoker, Dad.
Mitchell: Hey, haven't you seen the billions of ads that tell you not to do this stuff?
Dad! You can't teach someone not to try things, okay? That's what trying things is for... to teach you things. It's a contradiction. It's like telling me not to go for a triple on a base hit to the gap when Kayla: I've made a good turn around first and I know that the right fielder has a weak arm.
Mitchell: Damn it, you're smart.

Mitchell: Remember... stab, turn, drag.
Kayla: I don't have the knife, Dad.
Mitchell: Yes, you do. Check your clutch.

Mitchell: How parents can let their kids play music this loud. We all share this planet.

Hunter: In times like this, I ask myself one question: "WWVDD?" You know what that means?
Lisa: "What would Vin Diesel do?"
Hunter: Holy shit! No one's ever fucking gotten that before.

Lisa: I don't feel comfortable running the kids off the road.
Hunter: This slow and un-furious attitude is not helping us. You have to believe!

Lisa: Are we in Heaven?

Kayla: God. Why is sex even bad?

Finish Your Milk

You're the Worst 1×8

Becca: Marriage means being in it 24/7 from the moment when you wake up in the morning, and you see that red, curly happy trail, to at night when he rolls off of you and asks if you've had your "gazz" yet.

Paul: ...And as I like to say, once you pedal on your back, you never go back. To pedaling normally.

Paul: Did you know that four American presidents were home-brewers? Can you guess?... George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and...? The answer is Barack Obama! Uh... Lindsay?

Edgar: Am I just some unpaid servant who lives here for free?
Jimmy: That's a concise way of putting it.
Edgar: My caseworker says maybe you should be paying for my meds.
Jimmy: Right. Listen to me, my friend. You bought into a long con. Society screwed you over, and we owe you for that. I, personally, do not owe you, but a sort of collective "we" does. And you need your meds so you can shake off some of the damage done by Cheney's fictional yellowcake uranium. So, you turn around, you go back to the V.A., and you demand your due!

Jimmy: I have no idea how to cook.
Edgar: What have you been doing all this time?
Jimmy: Just, uh, stirring ketchup in the pan.
Edgar: Okay. Okay. Um... that's a good base... Uh, pinch of salt, throw it in there.
Jimmy: Pinch-pinch of salt.
Edgar: And then add a little bit of, uh, olive oil, two, three counts worth... Now stir it in. Stir it in nice and gently. Stir it. And, uh, keep stirring, keep stirring.

Nobody Puts Brady in a Crestmore

Mr. Mercedes 2x8

Bill: We got to stop looking for rational explanations for stuff that's... they're unexplainable.

Holly: I can't hold this world sometimes. I can't... 'cause I know that it doesn't hold me. It's just... letting me visit.
Bill: Yeah. We're renting for sure. No option to buy.

Holly: I wish I could tell you... what you mean to me... and how much that frightens me.
Bill: It cuts both ways.
Holly: I... I don't like the feeling.
Bill: I know. Caring for people is scary. Happiness is lovely. Not... Not really controllable. You can't tie it to a post.

Holly: Remember that the number-one killer of hospital patients is staph infections, okay? So don't get one of those.
Bill: Jesus. How do I avoid that?
Holly: Um, wash hands often, uh, keep cuts and scrapes clean and bandaged, and, um, don't take any personal items from other patients... especially those with, um, open wounds and hacking coughs, okay?

A Financial Secret and Fish Sauce

Young Sheldon 2×4

Connie: There's a person at the end of the table that eats for free...
George: There's a person at the other end of the table that eats for three.

Sheldon: What's the point of charity if there are no tax benefits?
Mary: Eat your peas.
George: I like how he's thinking.
Mary: You eat your peas, too!

George: Oh, yeah, don't worry about it.
Sheldon: But I enjoy worrying; I find it very relaxing.

George: All right, well, let's just put it down for $300 for miscellaneous.
Sheldon: I've never labeled anything miscellaneous in my life. I'll go ask Mom...

George: Sheldon, all you got to do is be cool.
Adult Sheldon: "Be cool." He might as well have asked me to fly around the backyard.

Sheldon: I'm cool. I'm very cool.
Missy: Mom, tell Sheldon what cool means.

Connie: We sink or swim together, George. We sink or swim together...
George: Grandmas are supposed to be nice. What went wrong with you?!—

Sheldon: Wouldn't it be easier to just be honest?
George: Usually, it would be, but... sometimes the truth can hurt people. We wouldn't want to hurt Mom, right?..

Connie: All right, let's tell her.
George: Thank you!
Connie: But first I'm gonna tell her what you did at the picnic...

Tam: Too bad you're not Catholic. You could confess it to a priest.
Sheldon: That's a great idea. You're Catholic. I'll confess it to you.
Tam: I'm not a priest.
Sheldon: I'm not a Catholic. It makes perfect sense.
