Chernobyl 1×2

Ulana Khomyuk: Iodine 131... It's not military. It's uranium decay, U-235.

Ulana Khomyuk: Who's the next closest?
Vasily Ignatenko: It's Chernobyl, but that's not possible. They're 400 kilometers away.
Ulana Khomyuk: That's too far for eight milliroentgen. They'd have to be split open.

Boris Shcherbina: And as for the radiation—
Valery Legasov: Yes, 3.6 roentgen, which, by the way, is not the equivalent of one chest X-ray, but rather 400 chest X-rays. That number's been bothering me for a different reason, though. It's also the maximum reading on low-limit dosimeters. They gave us the number they had. I think the true number is much, much higher. If I'm right, this fireman was holding the equivalent of four million chest X-rays in his hand.

Valery Legasov: Um... An RBMK reactor uses uranium 235 as fuel. Every atom of U-235 is like a bullet traveling at nearly the speed of light, penetrating everything in its path: woods, metal, concrete, flesh. Every gram of U-235 holds over a billion trillion of these bullets. That's in one gram. Now, Chernobyl holds over three million grams, and right now, it is on fire.

---

Valery Legasov: That's three million billion trillion bullets in the... in the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat. Most of these bullets will not stop firing for 100 years. Some of them, not for 50,000 years.

Boris Shcherbina: How does a nuclear reactor work?
Valery Legasov: What?
Boris Shcherbina: It's a simple question.
Valery Legasov: It's hardly a simple answer.
Boris Shcherbina: Of course, you presume I'm too stupid to understand. So I'll restate: Tell me how a nuclear reactor works, or I'll have one of these soldiers throw you out of the helicopter.

General Pikalov: It's not three roentgen. It's 15,000. ...
Boris Shcherbina: What does that number mean?
Valery Legasov: It means the core is open. It means the fire we're watching with our own eyes is giving off nearly twice the radiation released by the bomb in Hiroshima. And that's every single hour. Hour after hour, 20 hours since the explosion, so 40 bombs worth by now. Forty-eight more tomorrow. And it will not stop. Not in a week, not in a month. It will burn and spread its poison until the entire continent is dead.

Boris Shcherbina: How do we put it out?
Valery Legasov: ... You are dealing with something that has never occurred on this planet before.

Michail Gorbatchev: I have ten minutes, then I'm back on the phone apologizing to our friends, apologizing to our enemies... Our power comes from the perception of our power. Do you understand the damage this has done? Do you understand what's at stake?!

The Price of Admission

Elementary 7×3

Holmes: You wouldn't be the first killer to bring me in out of pure swank. A retired colorman once did so after asphyxiating his wife and her lover. I found them in a well in his garden.

Holmes: ...when my name is cleared, I can travel as I please. Our consultancy could become bicontinental.
Watson: You mean work with the NYPD and Scotland Yard?
Holmes: We have the means.
Watson: Okay... Thanks.
Holmes: Oh, I'm just being selfish. I want it all. Always do.

Watson: Ugh. What is that?
Holmes: Eritrean national anthem. It's quite rousing, isn't it?

Holmes: Those windows are bulletproof. Well, bullet-resistant. It's hard to tell how many rounds they will withstand before they start getting through.

Ray: You know I can.
Calvin: Legally.
Ray: You mean like with a receipt legally? Like I ain't steal it? If the police walk up, do I gotta drop it and run?

Ricky: Don't start paying me compliments and stuff, 'cause then I gotta give one back to you. We'd be all over each other again, and don't nobody want that.

Calvin: Sir, do you know why Jesus wept?... Well, when Lazarus died, Martha and Mary, they cried over his body. When Jesus saw their pain, he couldn't help but cry, too. So that's why Jesus wept.

Tony Manero: I read that in high school. That's... That's Shakespeare, right?
Stephanie: No, it's Zeffirelli, the director of the movie. You know, the movie? Film.

Tony Manero: You see, dancing, it can't last forever. It's a short-lived kind of thing. But I'm getting older, you know. You know, I feel like... I feel like, you know, so what, I'm getting older. Does that mean, like, I can't feel that way about nothing left in my life? You know? Is that it?

Tulsa: Hey, first of all, I'm not upset. I am uncomfortable. There's a difference. Secondly, people don't go around saying what they feel whenever they feel it. They have guards and shields and other metaphors.
Gardner Elliot: Why?
Tulsa: Because we're all messed up and scared and trying to be something that we're not. And if we all went around just declaring our innermost desires to the exact people we felt them for, well, then we'd all end up happy, or something.

Chernobyl 1×1

Valery Legasov: What is the cost of lies? It's not that we'll mistake them for the truth. The real danger is that if we hear enough lies, then we no longer recognize the truth at all. What can we do then? What else is left but to abandon even the hope of truth and content ourselves instead with stories? In these stories, it doesn't matter who the heroes are. All we want to know is: who is to blame?

Bryukhanov: What about radiation?
Anatoly Dyatlov: Obviously, down here it's nothing. But in the reactor building, I'm being told, 3.6 roentgen per hour.
Fomin: Well, that's not great, but it's not horrifying. Not at all. From the feedwater, I assume?
Anatoly Dyatlov: Mm-hmm.
Fomin: We'll have to limit shifts to six hours at a time, but otherwise...

Zharkov: I wonder how many of you know the name of this place... We all call it "Chernobyl," of course. What is its real name?
Bryukhanov: The Vladimir I. Lenin Nuclear Power Station.
Zharkov: Exactly. Vladimir I. Lenin. And how proud he would be of you all tonight. Especially you, young man, and the passion you have for the people. For is that not the sole purpose of the apparatus of the State? Sometimes, we forget. Sometimes, we fall prey to fear. But our faith in Soviet socialism will always be rewarded.

Zharkov: Now, the State tells us the situation here is not dangerous. Have faith, comrades. The State tells us it wants to prevent a panic. Listen well. It's true, when the people see the police, they will be afraid. But it is my experience that when the people ask questions that are not in their own best interest, they should simply be told to keep their minds on their labor and leave matters of the State to the State.

Zharkov: We seal off the city. No one leaves. And cut the phone lines. Contain the spread of misinformation. That is how we keep the people from undermining the fruits of their own labor.

Sitnikov: I sent my dosimetrists into the reactor building. The large dosimeter from the safe, the one with the 1,000-roentgen capacity--
Anatoly Dyatlov: What was the number?
Sitnikov: There was none.

Sitnikov: We found another dosimeter from the military fire department. It only goes to 200 roentgen, but it's better than the small ones.
Fomin: And?
Sitnikov: It maxed out. Two hundred roentgen.
Fomin: ... What game are you playing?

Anatoly Dyatlov: What's wrong with you? How'd you get that number from feedwater leaking from a blown tank?
Sitnikov: ... You don't.
Anatoly Dyatlov: Then what the fuck are you talking about?!

Sitnikov: I walked around the exterior of Building 4. I think there's graphite on the ground in the rubble.
Anatoly Dyatlov: You didn't see graphite.
Sitnikov: I did.
Anatoly Dyatlov: You didn't! You didn't!! Because it's not there!
Fomin: What? Are you suggesting the core... what? Exploded?
Sitnikov: Yes.

Fomin: Sitnikov... You're a nuclear engineer, so am I. Please tell me how an RBMK reactor core explodes. Not a meltdown, an explosion. I'd love to know.
Sitnikov: I can't.
Fomin: Are you stupid?
Sitnikov: No.
Fomin: Then why can't you?
Sitnikov: I... I don't see how it could explode. But it did.

Терри Пратчетт — Пастушья корона (2/2)

<< Начало

&  Быть ведьмой всегда нелегко. О, полёты на метле, это, конечно, прекрасно, но, чтобы быть ведьмой, надо мыслить здраво, порой до боли здраво. Ведьма имеет дело с тем, что есть, а не с тем, чего хотят люди.

&  Иногда надо отойти в сторонку, и пусть оно идёт своим чередом.

&  — Ну, я от них ничего не скрываю, — пожала плечами мисс Тик. — Говорю им: сперва подумайте хорошенько. Быть ведьмой — это вам не сплошные чудеса и волшебные палочки. Белоручкам в нашем деле не протянуть.
     Тиффани вздохнула:
     — Быть ведьмой — тяжёлая мужская работа, которая по плечу только женщинам.

&  Хорошо, когда жена одобряет происходящее. Значит, дома царят мир и покой — а усталому мужу только того и надо.

&  Ведьмы без труда чувствуют ложь. Почуять правду гораздо труднее.

&  можно многое узнать о человеке, посмотрев, что есть у него в карманах, а порой удаётся узнать ещё больше, оценив, чего там нет.

&  Когда жизнь идёт по кругу, она всегда идёт к худшему.

&  Есть и другие миры. Всегда есть другие миры.

&  — Так уж люди устроены. Все люди, даже бароны и лорды, короли и королевы. Между нами и нашими правителями действует своего рода соглашение: мы не возражаем, чтобы они правили, пока нас устраивает то, что они делают.

&  — У этой старухи совершенно ничего нет, а она такая весёлая. Чему она радуется?
     — Тому, что жива, — ответила Тиффани. — Это ещё одно свойство людей: обходиться тем, что есть. И порой то, что есть, оказывается очень хорошо.

&  — Мы будем сражаться на склонах гор. Мы будем сражаться на скалах. Мы будем сражаться на высоких холмах и в глубоких долинах. Мы никогда не сдадимся!

  ... — В этом не было нужды, — сказала Тиффани. — Магия была здесь и так.”

THE END

Road House (1989)

    Bob Stone: Phil, when this thing is over, I’m going to rip your throat out like Patrick Swayze in Road House.
    Phil: Oh, my God. You and Road House. Get over that movie. It sucked then, it sucks now. The only movie that sucks more is Sixteen Candles.

Dalton: I don't fly. Too dangerous.

Morgan: This Dalton character, what's his story?
Cody: The story is, you fuck with him, and he'll seal your fate.

Emmet: Calling me "sir' is like putting an elevator in an outhouse. Don't belong.

Dalton: Don't worry. All you have to do is follow three simple rules. One, never underestimate your opponent. Expect the unexpected. Two, take it outside. Never start anything inside the bar unless it's absolutely necessary. And three, be nice. If somebody gets in your face and calls you a cocksucker, I want you to be nice. Ask him to walk. Be nice. If he won't walk, walk him. But be nice. If you can't walk him, one of the others will help you, and you'll both be nice. I want you to remember that it's a job. It's nothing personal.

Steve: Being called a cocksucker isn't personal?
Dalton: No. It's two nouns combined to elicit a prescribed response.
Steve: What if somebody calls my mama a whore?
Dalton: Is she?

Dalton: I want you to be nice until it's time to not be nice.
Pat: Well, how are we supposed to know when that is?
Dalton: You won't. I'll let you know. You are the bouncers. I am the cooler. All you have to do is watch my back and each other's and take out the trash.

Frank Tilghman: Well, it was a good night. Nobody died.
Dalton: It'll get worse before it gets better.

Red Webster: How long are you gonna be in town?
Dalton: Not very long.
Red Webster: That's what I said 25 years ago.
Dalton: Really? What happened?
Red Webster: I got married to an ugly woman. Don't ever do that. It just takes the energy right out of you. She left me, though. Found somebody even uglier than she was. That's life. Who can explain it?

Doc: How'd this happen?
Dalton: Natural causes.
Doc: Looks like a knife wound.
Dalton: Like I said.

---

Doc: Mr. Dalton, you may add nine staples to your dossier of 31 broken bones, two bullet wounds, nine puncture wounds and four stainless-steel screws. That's an estimate, of course.

Doc: I'll give you a local.
Dalton: No, thank you.
Doc: Do you enjoy pain?
Dalton: Pain don't hurt.
Doc: Most of my patients would disagree with you.
Dalton: Okay.

Doc: Do you always carry your medical records around with you?
Dalton: It saves time.

Doc: How's a guy like you end up a bouncer?
Dalton: Just lucky, I guess.

Doc: Do you ever win a fight?
Dalton: Nobody ever wins a fight.

Doc: For that line of work, I thought you'd be bigger.
Dalton: Gee, I've never heard that before.

Wade Garrett: You having trouble?
Dalton: Nothing I'm not used to. But it's amazing what you can get used to.

Dalton: You're too stupid to have a good time.

Doc: Are you always better than they are?
Dalton: Pretty much.
Doc: Never been put down?
Dalton: No. Not really.
Doc: How do you explain that?
Dalton: The ones who go looking for trouble are not much of a problem to someone who's ready for them. I suspect it's always been that way.
Doc: Somebody has to do it...
Dalton: Somebody's got to pay somebody to do it.

Wade Garrett: The Double Douche...

Wade Garrett: That gal's got entirely too many brains to have an ass like that.

Wade Garrett: When a man sticks a gun in your face, you got two choices. You can die, or you can kill the motherfucker.

Dalton: I'm only good at one thing, Doc. I never lose.
Doc: But what are you going to win?

Doc: Do you think you're gonna save these people from Brad Wesley? Well, who's gonna save them from you?

Lamster

Billions 4×11

Chuck Rhoades: Mom is out of town. If you were on the floor... Oh, fuck, I don't even want to say it. Cuz then I'll have the goddamned image in my head.

AG Jeffcoat: You are a United States Attorney. You find his wrinkly fucking ass.
Bryan Connerty: Uh, I saw it once. And actually, the old guy keeps it together.
AG Jeffcoat: .....
Bryan Connerty: Still... I take your point.

Bobby Axelrod: I like to celebrate a really good kill. Connects me to my spiritual side.

Bobby Axelrod: You keep telling me why you can't get it done and what you need to do first. Your days were never so full or disorganized when you were gunning for me. Maybe this isn't personal enough for you. You need me to make it fucking personal?

Orrin Bach: Confirm nothing. Admit nothing. If Taylor doesn't show, they have nothing. Unless you give them something. So, don't. I can't tell you to lie... I can only tell you that they'll never be able to prove it, and it's the perfect solution to all your problems.

Wendy Rhoades: Is that what your clients say? Do they always feel good when they avoid punishment? Just move on with their lives?
Orrin Bach: Real criminals are different than you and me. Something about the mind-set of someone who does those things. By the time I get 'em, they are long past wondering who they are. They already know. They just want to get away with it.

Mike Wagner 'Wags': This changes nothing. Everybody at Axe Cap is and will remain deeply fucked in the head. We will all need your help as a coach and a human.

Jackie Connerty: You know how it is once a Scotsman's drawn his dirk... He can't return that blade to the sheath until it's tasted an Englishman's blood? Well, I can't open a safe without taking something.

Rebecca Cantu: What if you bought it?
Bobby Axelrod: I thought about suggesting that but figured you wouldn't wanna be the damsel in distress.
Rebecca Cantu: Oh. I'm the dame safeguarding my company.

Rebecca Cantu: Before I met you I went deal to deal, scooping up businesses and profits. And then you wanted to be my partner on a deal or two, and now I can't make a move without a booby trap going off in my face.

Rebecca Cantu: Really?
Bobby Axelrod: For you.
Rebecca Cantu: Thank you.
Bobby Axelrod: But dinner's on you for... a while.

Hap Halloran: Why are we here?
Chuck Rhoades: To end the Attorney General of the Unites States.

Hap Halloran: And what are you going to be doing?
Chuck Rhoades: Oh. I myself will be doing my usual boogie... inducing mistakes through temptation, misdirection, obfuscation and conflation-slash-corruption of the ideals that built this great nation. For good and noble purpose, of course.

AG Jeffcoat: I don't answer your questions. And you don't waste time asking 'em.
Bryan Connerty: The more info I have, the easier I can stop Rhoades.
AG Jeffcoat: The way you stop Rhoades is you keep him off balance. You can't let him find his carencia... God. Do they teach a man nothing about bullfighting anymore? Carencia. Place in a ring where the bull feels most safe, where he draws his full power. The whole afternoon, the matador is trying to keep him away from there. And if he lets up for one second, and that bull finds his carencia... Well, it doesn't matter what went before... because a goring is coming next.
Bryan Connerty: Understood.

AG Jeffcoat: Now, on the subject of on the run, what of the lamster, Rhoades Senior?

---

Bryan Connerty: So how...
Jackie Connerty: One-thousand eighty-two permutations on the combination. Should only take two, three hours.
Bryan Connerty: Are you fucking kid...
Jackie Connerty: Yes. I'm fucking kidding... Twenty-nine bucks. You went to law school. I also went to school. They called me Mr. Magneto.

Bobby Axelrod: Nah. It's gonna be great in the end.

Bobby Axelrod: You all fucking done? I set the risk parameters, Spyros... so push them. They're my bylaws, I can change them. I just did. Paper that, Orrin. You don't like me selling out your positions, tough shit. They aren't your positions anyway, they're mine. And if you can't find a way to pick up the returns... then why the fuck are you here instead of someone who can?

Bobby Axelrod: I am the sun that warms you and the air that you fucking breathe. Don't forget it.

Mike Wagner 'Wags': This is the real deal. This is why you are here. Because when fearless leader forgets every once in a while that he does need to fear the almighty... you bring him back to himself. You restore equilibrium.

Mike Wagner 'Wags': This isn't a fire drill, it's the Fyre Festival... and a full on fucking disaster.

Chuck Rhoades: No. From you, he'd never see it coming. You're like that Sade song come to life Kate... "Smooth Operator"... Now, know that's high praise from me.
Kate Sacker: Indeed.

Wendy Rhoades: Doing the right thing eventually becomes the thing... that makes you feel right. It's... It's not the hedonic experience, believe me... It doesn't happen quickly. Doesn't charge you with endorphins the way the perfect combo of salt, fat and sugar does. But it does last longer. It does nourish you.

Bobby Axelrod: I think we might not run on the same kind of fuel.

Bobby Axelrod: Taylor's my responsibility. I brought them into the world. I need to be the one to take them out.

Bobby Axelrod: I get that vengeance didn't agree with your system. But we're built different.

Chuck Rhoades: I just... can't believe you're starting all over.
Ira: Neither can my kids, but... I'm not dead. After every loss, after every great big kick to the grundle, we start over. We fall in love again. We make new life... And hopefully new and different mistakes.

AG Jeffcoat: If you answer my questions, it's possible that neither you nor your boy need be clapped in iron. I don't really want that. I just want Chuck broken.

Bryan Connerty: He jumped when you said it.
AG Jeffcoat: Yeah. So we know where to put the pinch bar... Only we don't fucking have one. We don't have the fucking idiot. We don't even know who the motherfucker is.

Mike Wagner 'Wags': The kind of destruction you're considering, the collateral damage, the relationships that'll be ruined or pushed to the brink... You ready for all that? Just to finally see the blood seeping out of Taylor's armor onto the battlefield?
Bobby Axelrod: If I'm not, why am I still wearing my armor?

Mike Wagner 'Wags': I don't know if you're aware, but I am also an unlicensed doctor. A medicine man of sorts, and surgeon of the drinking arts. I'm going to place a steady stream of prescribed medications before you... and you are going to quaff deeply and repeatedly. And a little flicker of the warm and giddy will grow and spread. And we will laugh about the days of yore. And we will toast the comrades who have fallen and yet may fall. And you will forget the vicissitudes of the last few days and you will remember who you are.
Wendy Rhoades: And who's that?
Mike Wagner 'Wags': The only woman I've ever enjoyed drinking with.
Wendy Rhoades: Well, then there's one thing we should do... Get properly fucking drunk.

<< Поддай пару! (Плоский мир — 40)
<< Я надену полночь (Тиффани Болит — 4)

Плоский мир — 41

Тиффани Болит — 5

Посвящается Эсмеральде Ветровоск: лёгкой дороги!

  “Оно родилось во тьме Круглого моря. ...

&  А в награду за все труды — только новые труды. Тому, кто выкопал самую большую. яму, выдают самую большую лопату...

&  Джеффри вскинул руку и показал на помело:
     — Хочу такое! Хочу быть ведьмой.
     Но старик покачал головой и сказал:
     — Это не про вас, мальчик мой. Всякий знает: мужчина ведьмой быть не может.
     — Но почему?
     Старик пожал плечами и сказал:
     — А вот этого никто не знает.

&  Она быстро зашагала через лес, и Эй побежала за ней, подстёгиваемая чисто кошачьим любопытством — все кошки невероятно любопытны до тех пор, пока не израсходуют хотя бы восемь жизней.

&  Нянюшка Ягг не была бы мудрой и уважаемой старой ведьмой, если бы за свою жизнь кое-чему не научилась.
     — Не спеши на уши становиться, Тифф. Этим ты делу не поможешь, только мозоли натрёшь.

&  — А у нас устроено так: я не указываю остальным, что делать, а они не мешают мне работать в поте лица — всё как я люблю.

&  Я же с ума сойду, если придётся постоянно быть и там, и тут. Я-то не кошка...

&  День обещал быть хлопотным. Ей доводилось бывать во многих домах, куда заходил Смерть, и всегда хозяйка — если, конечно, в доме была хозяйка — натирала до блеска всё, что могло блестеть, и вычищала всё, что можно вычистить. Поэтому Тиффани Болен вооружилась тряпками и вычистила всё, что и так было предельно чистым. Это было словно безмолвное заклинание: пришла беда, но зато хотя бы каминная решётка сияет чистотой и можно разводить огонь.

Newt Scamander: ...only blinkered people.

Theseus Scamander: The time is coming when everyone is gonna have to pick a side. Even you.
Newt Scamander: I don't do sides.

Albus Dumbledore: Do you know why I admire you, Newt?... More, perhaps, than any man I know. You do not seek power. Or popularity. You simply ask, is a thing right in itself? If it is, you do it no matter the cost.

Jacob Kowalski: Sweetheart, you don't need to enchant me. I'm already enchanted. I love you so much.

Grindelwald: The disapproval of cowards is praise to the brave.

Jacob Kowalski: You know what I miss about Queenie? Everything. I even miss the stuff that drove me nuts.

Albus Dumbledore: Everyone is scared of something.

Albus Dumbledore: Never too late to free yourself. Confession is a relief, I'm told. A great weight lifted... Regret is my constant companion. Do not let it become yours.

Leta Lestrange: Oh, Newt. You never met a monster you couldn't love.

Queenie: I just thought maybe we could hear him first... Just listen. That's all.

Grindelwald: I hate Paris.

Albus Dumbledore: Would he like a cup of tea?
Newt Scamander: He'll have some milk. Hide the teaspoons.

Grindelwald: ...As is the name I now restore to you. Aurelius. Aurelius Dumbledore.

Super Bad Boyfriend

Lucifer 4×8

Lucifer: God, I really need to put a lock on that elevator.

Amenadiel: I have a favor to ask you... Apparently, there's a tradition here on Earth to ask someone to be a back-up parent in case something happens to the child's real parents.
Lucifer: Oh.

Father Kinley: When the devil walks the earth and finds his first love... evil shall be released.

Ella: Oh, hey, Lucifer. Hey, Dan's ex-wife. Ex -wife. I mean... I mean Chloe.

Lucifer: Whatever's happening here is undoubtedly somehow my fault.

Chloe: I need to tell you something...
Lucifer: I'm all ears. Or horns, rather.

Chloe: Father Kinley .... told me about... a prophecy.
Lucifer: Right. What is it this time? Are frogs about to start falling from the sky or... perhaps winter is coming.

Eve: No.

Eve: I promise you that I will never, ever, ever... give up on you.

---

Amenadiel: Hold up. Maybe I can help. I'm Amenadiel, Lucifer's brother.
Caleb: For real?
Amenadiel: As God is my witness.

Linda: I'm very happy to meet you too, Eve. Wow. You're the first woman ever. It's like meeting a dinosaur.

Lucifer: Er... why did you and your wife break up in the first place?
Mr Benedict: I suppose I was the cliché bad husband. Infidelity, selfishness, neglect. In hindsight, I gave Emma no option but to break up with me.
Lucifer: Cliché bad husband, I see...

Mazikeen: It's just hard to open up about my life. I am a demon after all.
Eve: What's wrong with that? Anybody worth dating should understand everything that makes you... you.

Chloe: So how are things going with Eve?
Lucifer: Not good. I tried being a super bad boyfriend so she'd break up with me, but it failed spectacularly.

Mazikeen: ....And he got all upset with me because I laughed at the end of the movie. I thought it was a comedy. Have you seen it? Marley And Me?

Linda: Come on, Lucifer. This will weigh on you unless you face it head on. The real truth is what?
Lucifer: There is something rotten inside of me. I find it near impossible to drown out the constant cacophony of voices whispering in my ear, telling me I am evil. I'm drowning, doctor! And I can't stop asking myself... why do I hate myself so much?

Barbershop (2002)

Calvin Joyner: Uh, honey, black people don’t go to therapy. We go to barbershops. That’s where we talk out our problems. Or we watch the movie Barbershop. One or the other.

Calvin Palmer: That damn shop. Boy, they sure know how to kill a man's dreams.

Jimmy James: Okay. I want a grande, triple non-fat, half-decaf... soymilk, French roast, caramel cappuccino. Okay? Now, with just a splash... just a splash of hazelnut. Okay? And orange extract. The extra foam in a separate cup. I'll have to spoon it on myself because y'all never get it right. You understand? Thank you.

Darrel: When does a woman just have too much ass? Ass is like money. You can never have too much.

Calvin Palmer: Hey, Ricky, yo! School these boys on your philosophy about ass because they can't distinguish... between a woman with a big ass and a big-ass woman.
Ricky: Hold tight. It's mathematics, cuz. It's the ratio. Now if you measure around a woman's waist, right? Measure around that ass, you come up with a ratio about 3-5. Now that means that a 24-inch waist... is gonna yield a 40-inch ass. The mathematics is correct, right? You with me?
Darrel: Yo. So give me an example. I mean, break it down.
Ricky: Okay, all right. Jennifer Lopez. Right? Woman with a big ass! Now, on the other side, we got... Mother Love. Big-ass woman!

J.D.: We've got $50,000 back at the motel! You're gonna cause a scene for $5? $5?!
Billy: It ain't even about the money. It's the principle.

Hustle Guy: Condoms. Pampers if you're too late.

Eddie: These young boys don't know nothing. Let me get you lathered up here. Put that towel on his face... Get your foam nice and lathery... Y'all come over here and learn something... See, in my day, a barber was more than just somebody... who sit around in a FUBU shirt with his drawers hanging all out. In my day, a barber was a counselor. He was a fashion expert. A style coach. Pimp. Just general, all-around hustler. But the problem with y'all cats today... is that... you got no skill. No sense of history. And then, with a straight face... got the nerve to want to be somebody. Want somebody to respect you. But it takes respect to get respect. Understand?

Dinka: So, Ricky... what advice can you offer a guy like me on the art of wooing women?
Ricky: On what?
Dinka: You know, getting the hookup... the digits, the skins, ill nana, snappy-nappy, oochie-wallie?
Ricky: Yo, just be yourself.
Dinka: I'm big-boned, Rick, hefty, rotund. There's too much of myself to go around.
Ricky: Hold it. There's plenty of fat brothers pulling good ass. Look at Biggie, Heavy D...
Dinka: They were world-famous rappers. I, on the other hand, am an overweight barber from West Africa... with a fondness for poetry.

Ricky: Attitude will put you on. Confidence. She got to know that, at a moment's notice, you know, you will not hesitate... to put the pimp hand down on Jesus himself... if he ever made the mistake of disrespecting her. How you think Captain Kirk got all that booty?
Dinka: Yes! Thank you, brother!

Eddie: What I'm saying is, is that black people need to stop lying. There's three things that black people need to tell the truth about. One, Rodney King should have got his ass beat... for driving drunk and being pulled over in a Hyundai. Two, O.J. did it. And three, Rosa Parks ain't do nothing but sit her black ass down. That's right! I said it!

Watson: Remind me why we're not staying someplace else?
Holmes: This was more than just our home for six years. This was our laboratory. Our sanctum sanctorum.

Holmes: Anyone who sells real estate in New York when they don't have to is a fool.

Holmes: Anyway, we're not planning on staying here for too long. We'll find the captain's shooter, point Marcus in his or her direction, and then go back to London. Considering it's us, that should take, what, three days? Four at the absolute maximum.

Watson: You know, when a utility company says tomorrow, they really mean next week, right?

Holmes: ... I forgive you. Of course I do. Should've got yourself shot a lot sooner, we could have settled this all then.

Ghost in the Shell (1995) <<

Detective: First Public Security, and now the Cybercops, huh? Politely ask them to take a hike.

Chief Aramaki: You understand, do you? More often than not, what we call understanding is based on wishful thinking.

Batou: Back when you were a cop, wouldn't you have had a few choice words... for somebody who swooped in out of the blue and swiped a case from you?
Togusa: That's what pissed me off. It's like I was looking at the old me.
Batou: "Don't find fault with the mirror when it's your own face that's distorted."
Togusa: "The mirror is not a tool for realizing the truth, but rather for obscuring it," huh?

Togusa: You said you were gonna avoid shooting.
Batou: I did avoid shooting. As much as possible.

Kim: As Confucius said, "Not yet understanding life, how can you understand death?"
Batou: "Few people know death... We only endure it, usually from determination, and even from stupidity and custom; and most men only die because they know not how to prevent dying."

---

Batou: Just like good things come in threes, bad things also turn up in sets of three. You don't want to see, so you don't look. And even if you notice, you say nothing. And if you say something, no one listens. Then catastrophe comes calling. But in our world, we don't get three chances. If we miss that first hint, it's all over.

Kim: When did you figure it out?!
Batou: Nobody's easier to trick than somebody who thinks he's tricking you. You might have been a cyberwarfare specialist, but I'm an old infowar pro myself. And besides, I have a guardian angel looking over my shoulder.

Batou: Long ago, people had a great expression. "When right and wrong are in doubt, beat the drums and attack." When talk has failed, it's time for violence.

Major Motoko Kusanagi: "There are few who can hold up a mirror and not become evil."
Batou: "A mirror does not expose evil; rather, it creates it." Hey, this is no time get philosophical! I'm running low on ammo here.
Major Motoko Kusanagi: "In short, mirrors ought to be merely glanced at, not stared at."

Major Motoko Kusanagi: We weep for a bird's cry, but not for a fish's blood. Blessed are those with a voice. If the dolls also had voices, they would have screamed, "I didn't want to become human."

Major Motoko Kusanagi: Don't forget, Batou. Whenever you access the net, I'll be there at your side.

Things to Come (2016)

Nathalie Chazeaux: Then consider this quotation of Rousseau's. "If there were a nation of gods, it would govern itself democratically. A government so perfect... is not suited to men." Think it over. Then we'll discuss it... Don't misinterpret it. Remember, Rousseau wrote "The Social Contract," inspiring the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen. His ideas formed the Revolution.

Nathalie Chazeaux: Okay, I was a communist. Three years. No shame... Like most intellectuals then.
Heinz: Not me.
Nathalie Chazeaux: No, not you.
Heinz: She was even in the USSR.
Nathalie Chazeaux: So what? I came back disenchanted. I read Solzhenitsyn, end of story.

Nathalie Chazeaux: Your father hasn't changed since he was 18. "Starry sky above and moral law within." Already his credo in '68.

Nathalie Chazeaux: I thought you would love me forever...

Priest: What better tribute could you have rendered to your mother than becoming a philosophy teacher? For we know that doubt and questioning are inextricably bound up with faith. You have made this your life.

Nathalie Chazeaux: You know, I think I'm too old for radicality. I've done that before. I've been there. Okay, I have changed.
Elsa: But the world is the same. Only worse.

Nathalie Chazeaux: And the Unabomber wrote a book? I hope you place more value on human life.
Fabien: I want action to be compatible with thought. It isn't what you teach.
Nathalie Chazeaux: Why do you say that? I always insisted on making actions and thoughts compatible. I try to practice it myself.
Fabien: Yeah, okay. But only in the private sphere... You don't let everyday behavior betray your values. You don't envision a thought system requiring a change in your lifestyle.
Nathalie Chazeaux: Meaning?
Fabien: You think demonstrations and petitions make you a committed intellectual. Clear conscience, same lifestyle.
Nathalie Chazeaux: You mean my bourgeois lifestyle? Why not outgrow these schemes? I think they're sterile.
Fabien: Because it suits you.
Nathalie Chazeaux: Revolution is not my goal. It's true. Mine is more humble. To help kids think for themselves. We may disagree, but I thought I taught you that.

Nathalie Chazeaux: "So long as we desire, we can do without happiness. We expect to achieve it. If happiness fails to come, hope persists, and illusion's charm lasts as long as the passion causing it. Thus, this condition suffices to itself and the anxiety it inflicts is a pleasure which supplants reality, perhaps bettering it. Woe to him who has nothing to desire! He loses everything he owns. We enjoy less what we obtain than what we desire, and are happy only before becoming so."

Nathalie Chazeaux: This is the power of imagination. It compensates for the absence of the loved one with a pleasure that is purely mental, unreal in a way, yet nevertheless effective. For people with a lot of imagination, like Julie, but probably Rousseau as well, phantasmagorical satisfaction is a real comfort that supplants, replaces, carnal pleasure.

Devil Is as Devil Does

Lucifer 4×7

Eve: Please. Who can we punish next?

Chloe: Fine. Eve can ride along just for this case.
Eve: Exciting!
Lucifer: This is going to be so much fun.

Eve: We should punish them.
Lucifer: One criminal at a time, dear.

Ella: You know what? Why not do whatever makes you happy? Because any second, bam! You can get hit by a chunk of blue ice from an airplane. Or... get blown up into a million pieces by some crazed killer.
Dan: Or you could mysteriously break your spinal cord and become, you know... paralyzed.

Mazikeen: When I was a newborn demon... I was smaller than my opponents. But I was fast. So I used my speed, kept low... and always went for the major arteries.

Mazikeen: Why would you want to hear a story not about graphic murder?
Linda: We can talk about that later. I have to go to work.
Mazikeen: Great. Give me a second to get my knives.

Eve: Lucifer, you should torture the truth out of him until his lawyer shows up.

Chloe: Lucifer. Lucifer, stop.
Eve: Lucifer, do it.

Lucifer: Devil is as devil does.

---

Chloe: Do you think there is such a thing as celestial justice?... Because if celestial justice does exist, like heaven and hell, then what we've been doing here, say arresting criminals... why even bother?

Ella: Chloe, look at the Bible. It is so full of contradictions... Take the devil, for example. The devil's supposed to be pure evil, right? But he started out as an angel. You can't start good and then turn all evil. I mean, that's what they want us to believe?
Chloe: You're right. He's an angel.
Ella: No, my point is that it's all bullshit.

Amenadiel: They may be flawed, yes, but so are we. And flawed doesn't mean weak.
Remiel: Sounds like something a weak person would say.

Eve: Just pick a punishment and let's go. What's the hold-up?

Chloe: You're the devil. But you're also an angel.

Father Kinley: I just need you to hear the prophecy.
Chloe: All right.
Father Kinley: When the devil walks the earth and finds his first love... evil shall be released.

A Private War (2018)

Marie Colvin: Are you stuck?
David Irens: Yeah. Struggling with the end.
Marie Colvin: The hero always gets the girl.
David Irens: It's a book about naval warfare, but I will keep that in mind.

Marie Colvin: 'I suppose to look back at it and say, you know, I cared enough to go to these places and write, in some way, something that would make someone else care as much about it as I did at the time. Part of it is you're never gonna get to where you're going if you acknowledge fear. I think fear comes later, when it's all over.'

Marie Colvin: We're going to Fallujah.
Sean Ryan: It's too dangerous.
Marie Colvin: Everywhere's too dangerous.

Marie Colvin: I fear growing old. But then I also fear dying young.

Marie Colvin: 'War is the quiet bravery of civilians who will endure far more than I ever will, of those asked to fight and those who are just trying to survive. Mothers, fathers, sons and daughters, traumatized families, bereft and inconsolable.'

Gaddafi: Of all the women in the world, I like spending time with you most.

Sean Ryan: You see it so that we don't have to, yes, but also because you couldn't imagine a world in which you didn't. No one in their right mind would do what you do, Marie. But if you lose your conviction, then what hope do the rest of us have?

The California Split

Sneaky Pete 3×6

Marius: I want my wife to be happy, but no matter what I do, she thinks I have an ulterior motive.

Julia: My husband is a liar. He's lied from the moment I met him.

Marius: If I'm gonna get you an ice cream cone, it doesn't mean I can't get one for myself.

Julia: I just wish that he would tell me things so I could be on the same page, you know? Just, instead of all the surprises.

Dr. Camille Hickey: Um, I'd like to, uh... Try an exercise, all right? Um, look at each other. If you want, take hands... Now, I want you to say one nice thing about the other person.
Marius: ... You're a really good mother.
Julia: ....... I can't think of anything... Fine...... Nope. Nothing.

Chuck: I believe in human desire. If people want something badly enough, they'll pay.

Taylor: I didn't ask to be sucked into any of this.
Otto: Oh, no, you're a victim.
Taylor: That's not what I meant.
Otto: Then be a man. You want Lorraine, choose it. Grab her with both hands and own the consequences.

---

Marius: Hey, you want to see a magic trick?... Guess which hand... Before you guess, think about what you want. 'Cause you seem to be committed to what's over here, but what if you want to be over here? What if it's better? Or what if, while you're over here, you actually secretly want to be over here? Or what if, in the end, it doesn't really matter if you're over here or over here? Because wherever you are, you'll always be right here. Check your pocket... Magic.

Marius: You are messing up what is already a very complicated play here.

Marius: Hey, listen. You worry about you, and I'll worry about me.
Lizzie: Then you should worry more...

T.H. Vignetti: We have to get Marius and the Vermeer in the same room under criminal circumstances. Remember the goal is to get him to jail.
Julia: What if he's too smart?
T.H. Vignetti: If he were too smart, he wouldn't be trying the same con twice. It's an act of reckless ego.

T.H. Vignetti: You're close to the finish line. In success, you'll have a lawyer, a job and enough money to build an honest life.

Audrey: Do you have any children?... It's terrifying. They didn't choose to be born. You chose to have them. So... everything about them is on you. Good and bad. At a certain point, you have no control. But still, the responsibility to protect them never ends. Except in death. And then, at least... the fear is over. No more worrying. They're gone. You failed.
