Cosmos (2019)

Mike Webster: How'd you get into all this, anyway?
Harry Knight: Well, my dad's to blame for that one. Which is always the way, right? Took me to see the Perseid meteor shower when I was about seven. And that was that. I never looked back... I remember him telling me that everything down here on Earth, everything we are, everything we're made of, comes from up there. 20 plus years later, I'm a doctor of astrophysics, and I'm getting paid to study distant stars.

Mike Webster: Greetings on behalf of the people of my world. This is Mike Webster... of Planet Earth.
     We are here. We are not afraid.
     If you are out there and you are listening, this is a routine response to an acquired signal at... 01:33 GMT, 16.10.16. Unidentified source.
     Your signal made it. We are listening.
     Oh, and if this is the local police station, I'm sorry if I'm interfering with your gear again. But perhaps you should have invested in some better radio equipment.

Roy Kennedy: It's got to be bouncing.
Harry Knight: What, off the ionosphere?
Mike Webster: No, it's not bounce.
Roy Kennedy: It's got to be. It's got to be bounce.
Mike Webster: Look, we're talking milliseconds to come back off the ionosphere.
Harry Knight: Well, the Moon then.
Mike Webster: No, still just over a second.
Roy Kennedy: Well, it's got to be a ping-back or something up there.
Harry Knight: Mike, when did you transmit this?
Mike Webster: 1:33.
Roy Kennedy: It's now 2:58.
Harry Knight: So, that's 85 minutes. 42 each way. If it's bounce...
Mike Webster: And it's not.
Roy Kennedy: What's 42 light minutes away?
Mike Webster: Look, nothing. Nothing's 42 light minutes away.
Roy Kennedy: Well, there's got to be.
Mike Webster: Well, there's just not. Okay, light travel time. Jupiter's 30, Saturn's 70, minimum, there's nothing in between, trust me.
Harry Knight: Are you rolling on this?
Mike Webster: No.
Harry Knight: May I suggest you do.
Mike Webster: Yep.

Roy Kennedy: Mike, what is the Waterhole?
Mike Webster: The electromagnetic spectrum is just cluttered with garble, right? Trying to spot an intelligent signal within that is like trying to have a conversation at rock concert, you just can't do it, but at 1420 megahertz, there's a natural dead spot. It's like a quiet tunne cutting through all the noise.
Roy Kennedy: And that's the Waterhole?
Mike Webster: Right. If you want to send a signal out into space, the Waterhole's your best chance of getting it heard.

---

Mike Webster: There's a hell of a lot going on here that I can't explain. But I can't argue with this. You can't argue with this. If we are the only ones getting this... and we sit on it, or worse, just let it slip through the net. I'd rather be wrong and have done the right thing. And if I'm wrong, I'm wrong. So what? But if we're right about this... and what's happening here is what I think is happening here... this changes everything.
Roy Kennedy: Okay. So what's our next move?

Mike Webster: Stop! Nobody... move.

Roy Kennedy: I figure there's two types of scientists, Mike. Those that look down at Earth... trying to figure out what's going on here. And then there are those who look up to space... searching for the answers out there. But they're both really looking for the same thing. Who are we? What are we? What does all this mean?

Roy Kennedy: I'm an engineer, Mike, I... don't hunt for the science, I just put it to work. But if wasn't for people like you... people who are brave enough to push the boundaries of what we know... we'd all stand still.

Harry Knight: There's something up there...

Mike Webster: I think everything's just moved from a possibility to a probability.

Roy Kennedy: Harry! You've got to leave her. We got to go.

Dave Bennett: Mike, this is incredible. What time was your acquisition of signal?
Mike Webster: 2:54.
Dave Bennett: My God. That's the earliest recorded acquisition of signal we've had. Do you realize what this means?... You guys are the first. The first.

Dave Bennett: That's us replying. All our tracking stations are broadcasting the same thing.
Roy Kennedy: What does it say?
Dave Bennett: What else is there to say? "Welcome to Earth."

Marriages Don't Break Up on Account of Murder - It's Just a Symptom That Something Else Is Wrong

Why Women Kill 1×8

Sheila Mosconi: How could you say that, Beth Ann? What are you thinking? What are you thinking? I can't even believe you just said that! Get back here so I can give it to you! It's your mother's fault. Clearly, she forgot to teach you some of the basics. Things like, when you grow up, don't pretend to have cancer.
Beth Ann Stanton: Women lie to their husbands every day. Some lie about how much they spend. My lie's that I'm dying.
Sheila Mosconi: Just because you act classy doesn't mean you're not fucking crazy.

Enzo: How can I help you?
Beth Ann Stanton: Well, I was wondering if there was a cancer you could recommend.
Enzo: Recommend?!
Beth Ann Stanton: Something rare. That no one's ever heard of. It should be serious. Oh, but occasionally curable.

Beth Ann Stanton: No, this is the situation, and we all must accept it. Okay?
Robert Stanton: Okay.
Beth Ann Stanton: Now, obviously, if I'm going to fight this thing, I need you by my side. Constantly.
Robert Stanton: I'm not going anywhere. You're my wife. I meant it when I said, "Till death do us part."
Beth Ann Stanton: Oh, my darling. I'm going to hold you to that.

I Found Out What the Secret to Murder Is: Friends. Best Friends.

Why Women Kill 1×7

Sheila Mosconi: You are getting your husband back...
Beth Ann Stanton: I'm so happy. Of course, I feel bad for April.
Sheila Mosconi: Why? She should've known what was coming. This is how the movie always ends: the man slinks back to his wife, and the whore ends up drunk and alone... Actually, now that I got four kids, it doesn't sound so bad.

Beth Ann Stanton: It's a true friendship.
Sheila Mosconi: She thinks your name is Sheila.
Beth Ann Stanton: I admit, it's a complicated...

Beth Ann Stanton: I don't want to drink right now.
Sheila Mosconi: Oh, honey. This is all for me. I find your life very stressful.

Robert Stanton: Look at this. Someone went to a lot of trouble.
Beth Ann Stanton: Oh, not so much. I just put out a few flowers, and the good silver, and the candlesticks your mother bought us. Would you like a mai tai before dinner?

Karl Grove: Listen, listen. I have spent my entire life putting off things that I thought there'd be time for later. Open doors don't stay open forever.

Detective Amenadiel

Lucifer 5×5

Lucifer: What do you need, Detective? Please, just tell me what I can do to fix things.
Chloe: There is one thing you can do, but you're not going to like it.
Lucifer: Well, tell me.
Chloe: I need time... and I need space.

Amenadiel: There I was... wandering the corridors of Hell, when... I heard a voice. A voice that I never expected to hear in Hell.
Lucifer: Who was it? Mother Teresa, Mr. Rogers? Adele?

Lucifer: I just spent millennia down there diligently doing everything He asked without complaint, and you have one sleepover in Hell and Dad tells you your watch is over?
Amenadiel: You know Father works in...
Lucifer: If you finish that sentence, I will punch you in your "mysterious ways."

Mazikeen: I found the bitch.
Linda: Well, hi, Maze, and good morning to you, too.
Mazikeen: You were right. That abandonment stuff you talked about? Definitely her fault.

Linda: Maze, I know your mother abandoned you, but it might help to understand her perspective. Maybe... Maybe she was too young to handle it.
Mazikeen: My mother was 12,000 years old when she had me.
Linda: Well... Parenting at any age can be terrifying.

Chloe: Amenadiel, you're back. Wait, does that mean that Lucifer...
Amenadiel: No, no. He's still here. Everything in Hell has been taken care of.
Chloe: Well, I have no idea what that means, but just add it to the list.

Chloe: Luckily, I have this to keep me busy. You know, following clues, catching bad guys. Makes me feel like I have some semblance of control, even if I don't.

Chloe: Thank you for the offer. But for now, I'm going to stick to police work and avoid anything God-related.... Hilarious.

Ella: Hi. Longtime fan, first-time visitor. Almost signed up myself, actually.

Sister Molly: We're so blessed God sent you here to find who did this, Detective.
Chloe: Oh. Mm, yeah. Well, yes. That's what God does. Yep. Mm. Sends me here, sends me there, kills a nun, just so I can meet all of you, and...

Amenadiel: How can I help you, Chloe?

Dan: A murder, man, it's like a... It's like a gigantic puzzle, only you don't know what the corner pieces are, or what it's going to look like when it's done.
Lucifer: You just described torture. Trust me, I know.
Dan: It could take hours, days, years even, man.
Lucifer: Definitely torture...
Dan: But nothing in the world feels better than when you find that one piece, and then boom! Suddenly it all clicks together.

Dan: Shortcuts are not the answer, Lucifer. Hard work... pays off.

Mother Angelica: If there was more to tell, I would, but that's all I have. Everything else is in God's hands. If this is the path He wants me on... He must have his reasons.
Chloe: You're really willing to give up your free will, just like that?
Mother Angelica: I am willing to have faith.
Chloe: Oh, come on.
Mother Angelica: I know that look in your eyes. Over the years our convent has taken in many women like you, women who feel powerless, adrift. You have more control than you think, my child.
Chloe: Which is it? Control or faith? You can't have it both ways.
Mother Angelica: I have faith in you, Detective. You help the helpless. It takes great strength to do that...

Chloe: Amenadiel... You're my dad?
Amenadiel: .... Of course not!
Chloe: So "laid a blessing" isn't a euphemism?

Chloe: There is a huge difference, Lucifer. You were given a gift. I am that gift.

Amenadiel: Are you saying a goat ate your alibi?

Amenadiel: I admire you... You hit dead end after dead end, but you still keep on searching. Doesn't deter you. In fact, it only drives you to try harder.
Chloe: You make me sound like a sadist.

Chloe: I just don't... I don't know how long it's going to take me to get over this. I may never...
Lucifer: I understand, Detective.
Chloe: You do?
Lucifer: There are no shortcuts. Just... take all the time you need.

Amenadiel: Have faith, Hank.

Chloe: Lucifer. If that's true... If you choose to be vulnerable around me... then I choose to be vulnerable around you.

Jade: What are you doing?
Eli Cohen: Killing myself.

Eli Cohen: Yeah. My plan is to get super fat and then die of hypertension.
Jade: That might take a while.
Eli Cohen: Only great writers deserve quick deaths. Hemingway, Wolfe, Plath. Me? I'm a bad writer, so I deserve to die slowly, painfully... disgustingly. Do we have any mustard?

Taylor Harding: The truth is... I am no longer in an open marriage.... No, I didn't leave Eli, I... moved my lover into our home. The three of us are officially a throuple.

April Warner: I think you're too drunk to have this conversation.
Robert Stanton: When you start using the "L word," a guy can sober up pretty quick.

Karl Grove: We don't need to get a divorce. We have stumbled into the perfect arrangement. You will have your lovers and I will have mine, and then we will come home to sparkling conversation. It's very European.

Simone Grove: It doesn't bother you that I'm having sex with someone else?

Joey Kasinski: You can do anything that you need to do to survive. You've already survived this far. Look at this. This jump? It's nothing. It's nothing, it's just air. That river, it's nothing. It's just water. You can do this, we're gonna be okay.

You Had Me at Homicide

Why Women Kill 1×4

Coroner: The purpose of an autopsy is to provide clarity. How did the victim die? Was death the result of a gunshot? Stabbing? Poison? How someone is killed is easy to understand. Why it happened, that's never so simple... But it always begins with a choice. It might be a decision to conduct a tawdry affair. A plan to keep secrets from a loved one. Or an agreement to bring a stranger into your bed... Yes. People make all sortsof questionable choices. Of course, that's what keeps me in business.

Beth Ann Stanton: Brownies? How are they an adventure?
April Warner: My recipe calls for a special ingredient... Grass.
Beth Ann Stanton: From your lawn?
April Warner: No, I'm talking about pot. You know, marijuana?
Beth Ann Stanton: You mean reefer?
April Warner: Oh. Look, it's not a big deal. Lots of people do it.
Beth Ann Stanton: Criminals! Musicians!

Amy Grove: And did I mention she's fat? 140 pounds if she's an ounce.
Karl Grove: Oh, 140, where did he find her, a carnival?
Simone Grove: You know, darling, it's not even noon yet.
Amy Grove: My fiancé fucked a beluga whale. Can I please get some support here?

Karl Grove: A-Amy, Amy. You're right. Your mother and I are sorting through some issues, and I'm not a perfect husband, and maybe Brad won't be either, but love is always a risk, and I know it's easy to think this is never going to last, so why don't I end it now, but... the chance for love doesn't come around every day. One must think long and hard before one casts it aside.

Coroner: If you visit your local morgue, you'll find the bodies of good people who made bad choices. Some engaged in reckless love affairs. Some invited violent strangers into their home. And some kept dark secrets from those they loved. Yes, it's choices like these that lead to death. And more importantly, murder.

It Never Ends Well for the Chicken

Lucifer 5×4

Trixie: Parents. They're a mystery.

Lucifer: Mm. Uh...
Trixie: My mom usually starts with "Once upon a time."
Lucifer: Does she? Right, well... Once upon a time, the Devil went to New York City. The year... was 1946.

Lucifer: It was a wonderful time. Men wore hats, hemlines were on the rise, and so was crime. Rationing was over, the boys were home from the war, and the air was full of big band music and possibility.

Lucifer: How about we cheer you up with a healthy distraction, hmm? We could rent out a brothel, rob a bank... Oh! Ernie Hemingway's in town. He's always good for a laugh.

Lucifer: The Devil, solving crime. It's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.

Jack Monroe: Well, if it ain't Lucifer Morningstar... What can I do you for?

Trixie: Wait, hold it!
Lucifer: Oh, for crying out loud.
Trixie: I thought you said Mr. Stompanato. "Mr." is a man.
Lucifer: Did you or did you not request a gender-balanced narrative? I'm simply following your instructions.

Tommy Stompanato: Next time... I won't be so nice. That means you're gonna die. And you... You're lucky you're a friend of Lily's. But don't get too friendly.

Lucifer: Sorry, got lost in a daydream, on account of your problem being so extraordinarily boring. Have you considered forgetting about it?
Jack Monroe: Have I considered forgetting about it? Is that your advice?
Lucifer: Well, in my experience... problems are like Bible salesmen, or... genital warts. If you pretend they're not there, sooner or later, they disappear.

---

William Kincannon: Who the hell are you?
Jack Monroe: Jack Monroe, PI.
Lucifer: Lucifer Morningstar, Devil.

Lucifer: Quite a unique fellow, aren't you? There's a word to describe you, but I can't quite put my finger on it. It's like a shower, but French...

Lucifer: This apartment is literally the most depressing hovel I've ever seen, and I've seen Kafka's Hell loop.
Melvin the Magnificent: Look over there! For just 12 dollars, 12 dollars, our deluxe ceremony of Anubis includes this ceremonial mask, two acolytes, and a drum made from the skin of a Vestal Virgin, a gilded sacrificial dagger, and one live... chicken!
Lucifer: It never ends well for the chicken.
Melvin the Magnificent: Or you might prefer our economy package. Uh... only six dollars! Lucifer: And the chicken heart comes pre-sacrificed for your convenience.
Not particularly accurate, historically speaking, but quite, uh, bloody. My old friend Tutankhamen would've loved it.

Lucifer: So, why don't I repay my debt some other way? A castle, a private island, a mountain of gold? The world is your oyster, and I, your concierge.

Lilith: All this time you've spent on Earth... have you ever connected with a human?
Lucifer: I've connected with thousands of humans. Once, Caligula and I made a human train of 37...

Gertie: We all die, Lily. And that's okay. Truth is... I'd rather die today trying to save the man I love... than live forever without him.

Jack Monroe: Well, you're an odd duck, but it's been... It's been real interesting... You take care of yourself, kid.
Lucifer: You too, old man.

Lilith: They all think they want to live forever. But they already have something so much more precious... Gertie was right. It's knowing there's an end. That's what makes the rest of it count. That's what connects them to one another. What makes them brave, even when they have no reason to be.

Trixie: My mom says dealing with your problems is the only way to get past them.

Ava (2020)

Ava: You know, Croesus once said, "Count no man happy until the end is known."

Ava: You know, if you modernize it, what Croesus actually said is, "Count no man happy until he's had a good death." I genuinely try to give my subjects a good death when I can. But I can't do that unless I know what you did.

Ava: It was meant to look like natural causes. I can do natural causes. I can do an accident. I can do gentle.

Duke: I know you don't trust anybody. But I'm not anybody. So, I'm gonna take my hands out of my pockets, I'm gonna put them up like this, I'm going to step toward you... place them on your shoulders in a comforting, but firm, fatherly manner...

Ava: Ma. I have to talk to you about something.
Bobbi: You should choose carefully what you tell me, Ava. 'Cause you can't... un-say it, and I can't un-hear it.

Judy: Ava. Who are you?
Ava: Nobody that you want your child to know.

Duke: Count no man as happy until his end is known. What Simon would call all that Greek shit. It's not until you know how someone dies that you know what really mattered to them. What they cared about, what they'd sacrifice for. What they would die for. Who they loved and who loved them in return. We don't have much control over our lives. But our end? Sometimes we write that story.

Σ pita4og: «...не шпионский боевик, а семейная драма в антураже разборок тайных агентов. Вполне ожидаемо, учитывая предыдущие работы режиссера, картина получилась немного нудной и тягучей на развитие сюжета. Не шедевр, но крепкий середнячок с хорошим актерским составом...»

Σ sapojnik: «...сюжет, если понимать его буквально, довольно нелеп - очередная "корпорация убийц" и разборки внутри нее.
А если приглядеться внимательнее - в нем мы имеем вариацию на излюбленную американскую тему, ту же, что и в знаменитом сериала "Во все тяжкие". Его мораль я сформулировал давно: "Если умираешь - умирай". Это ж какие-то глубины протестантской этики, на сторонний взгляд звучит пугающе и как-то бесчеловечно, ВЕТХОЗАВЕТНО. ...»

Narrator: It begins quite slowly. With a look. Or a gesture. And once the invitation is accepted... The tango begins. It is a dance of anticipation. Seduction. Desire. And love.
     You know, some say it takes two to tango. But sometimes, lurking in the dark... Is a third. Now, if you choose to dance with him, be prepared to deal with the consequences. For passion can turn to jealousy. Love can become violent.
     Yes. The tango exists to remind us the greatest love stories... end in death.

Karl Grove: Do you honestly believe we're the only couple here pretending to be something that we're not?.. Trust me, there is not a woman here tonight who wouldn't trade all of her problems for yours if she looked half as beautiful as you do right now.
Simone Grove: But what good is other people's envy if it's all based on a lie?

The Deadly Affair (1967)

Samuel Fennan: But my dear Mr...
Charles Dobbs: Dobbs, Charles Dobbs.
Samuel Fennan: Practically everybody was a member of the Party at Oxford in the '30s. Half the present Cabinet were Party men. You know, Mr. Dobbs, when you're young, you hitch the wagon of whatever you believe in to whatever star looks likely to get the wagon moving. When I was an undergraduate, the wagon was social justice, and the star was Karl Marx. We perambulated with banners. We fed hunger marchers. A few of us fought in Spain. Some of us even wrote poetry... I still believe it was a good wagon, but an impracticable star. We had faith and hope and charity. A wrong faith, a false hope, but I still think the right sort of charity. Our eyes were dewy with it. Dewy and half-shut.
Charles Dobbs: Who opened them?

Morton - Adviser: The police believe it to be a clear case of suicide.
Charles Dobbs: Do you?
Morton - Adviser: What I believe is not the point, Dobbs. The point is, the Foreign Office believe the police. It's unfortunate that in this distressing matter we are now answerable to the two public bodies with whom our current relations are most, shall I say, uneasy.

Charles Dobbs: I was only doing my duty.
Elsa Fennan: To whom, Mr. Dobbs?
Charles Dobbs: We had to check.
Elsa Fennan: Check... Sounds like a game, doesn't it?
Charles Dobbs: It's not a game, Mrs. Fennan.
Elsa Fennan: No. You treat people like wooden pawns. You plot their moves. You write their names on papers, and then you put the papers into files. But sometime the names have wives and children, as well as records. And generally very ordinary human motives to justify their sad little dossier and their make-believe sins. And when that happens, I'm very sorry for you.
Charles Dobbs: Yes, when that happens, I'm very sorry for myself.
Elsa Fennan: Then go back to Whitehall and look for more spies on your drawing board, because you have no place among real people.

Charles Dobbs: How long you staying?
Dieter Frey: A few days. Business lunches, business dinners, I even have a business breakfast. Who knows, I may actually do some business, too.

Charles Dobbs: The un-addicted shouldn't blame the addicted. I'm just relieved that it's less lethal than drink or drugs.

Charles Dobbs: I've always thought that being aggressive was the way to keep my job and being gentle was the way to keep you... Well, I've lost my job, haven't I?

Charles Dobbs: Mendel, I'm going to theorize...
Inspector Mendel: I like facts myself, but go ahead.

Dieter Frey: Oh, Charles. I'm not a child. I know that real love doesn't just explode. If it grows at all, it will grow slowly.

Inspector Mendel: Is she a communist?
Charles Dobbs: I don't think she likes labels. I think she wants to help build one society which can live without conflict. I think she wants peace. The communists have a way of using people like that...

I'd Like to Kill Ya, But I Just Washed My Hair

Why Women Kill 1×2

Neighbor: I asked my mother how something like that could happen. All she said was, "Marriage is harder than it looks."

Neighbor: I asked my fiancée what she thought had happened. All she said was, "Death is cheaper than divorce."

Neighbor: I turned to my wife and said, "Another love story has ended in murder. I can't believe it." My wife looked at me and said, "I can."

Robert Stanton: When I look at you, I don't see clothes or hair. I just see you... the girl I married.
Beth Ann Stanton: Is that so?
Robert Stanton: Yeah. I don't expect you to be chic or stylish. You're my wife. I just need you to be the... same old Beth.

Beth Ann Stanton: You've done that to Leo?
Sheila Mosconi: That's... how I got my Pontiac.
Beth Ann Stanton: And you really think Rob will like these things?
Sheila Mosconi: I do.
Beth Ann Stanton: And... I won't feel humiliated after?
Sheila Mosconi: Sex is how women gain power over men. And there is nothing humiliating about that.

Simone Grove: You knew my husband was cheating for two years and you said nothing?!
Naomi Harte: Wives always say they'd want to know if their husbands were cheating, but they never forgive the person who tells them.
Simone Grove: But you're my best friend!
Naomi Harte: And you're... one of mine.

¡Diablo!

Lucifer 5×3

Lucifer: Burnt coffee and body odor never smelled so good. Hm...

Lucifer: Hello, Detective.
Chloe: No. No. Get the hell out of here!

Lucifer: But, Detective, you're the only reason I'm here.
Chloe: Apparently you're the only reason I'm here. So I'm going to do my job that I chose.

Chloe: Lucifer and I had, um, sort of a difficult conversation. I... I might have told him to go to Hell.
Ella: Oh, yeah, relationship drama. .... [But] trust me. If the worst thing you said to him was "Go to Hell"... you're totally okay.
Chloe: Well, you'd think that, but...

Chloe: If God made me for you, He probably would want me to feel that way. So I just... I need a little time to absorb all of it.
Lucifer: Right. Well, in the meantime, why don't we absorb whilst we work? I may as well help solve this murder for you whilst I'm up here fixing things.

Lieutenant Diablo: Let me tell you something. I've been doing this job for seven episodes now, and if there's one thing I've learned, it's why people kill.
Lucifer: Oh?
Lieutenant Diablo: It's 'cause they yearn for something. You want to find the killer, figure out their yearning.
Chloe: Right.
Lucifer: Isn't there a better word for that?
Lieutenant Diablo: No.

Chloe: There could be other motives to kill him...
Lieutenant Diablo: Oh-oh! Sounds like we have a Dancer answer.
Lucifer: What?
Detective Dancer: See, Diablo comes up with the wild theories and crazy hijinks, and Dancer's the fun police. "That's not procedure, Diablo."
Chloe: Mm. I get it...

Lucifer: I've got to go.
Chloe: To Hell?

---

Chloe: In my experience, the innocent don't normally expect to be questioned by the police.
Keri Belwood: I've written 100 episodes of TV murder mysteries and I got the carpal tunnel to prove it. Motive, opportunity... It adds up.

Keri Belwood: Matt was the worst kind of boss: Lazy and a control freak.
Chloe: I can see why he'd be hard to deal with...
Keri Belwood: No, not really. He never even came into the writers' room. I'd usually send him a script overnight, and by the morning, it'd be completely changed.

Lucifer: Would you rather that I was Michael?
Mazikeen: Either. He left me in the closet, but you... You went to Hell without me. You left me!

Lucifer: Good news. ... I figured out how to fix things between us.
Chloe: Oh, how's that?
Lucifer: Well, you're going to tell me what to do.

Lucifer: Detective Douche, if you want to see something really scary, wait until you see what your new all-soy diet is doing to your bone density.

Lucifer: Actually, maybe you can help me... This cosmic impotence, the knowledge that you're the plaything of a cruel, uncaring God, the suffocating feeling that everything you've ever accomplished is meaningless... You're the perfect person to ask about these things.

Lucifer: Do you know, of all the ways you humans try to control your lives, these silly New Age superstitions are by far the most embarrassing.

Lucifer: Oh, Diablo, is there anything you can't do?

Chloe: So how do you do it?.. I mean, the way they write your character. I mean, she only exists to serve Diablo. So what's the secret to getting up every day knowing everything you do and say is only servicing another person?
Detective Dancer: Do you think there's a secret? It's literally hell on Earth.

Detective Dancer: I am not spending the next six seasons with my main prop as a stripper pole!

Michael: So... how do you like the mess I made, Samael?

Chloe: Lucifer. You okay? You look like hell.
Lucifer: Appropriate.

Money Heist 3×7

Helsinki: Arturito?!

Tokio: Happiness is a lightning bolt. An exhalation, and then, you fall. When you've touched the sky, the fall is colossal.

El Profesor: I feel like I am betraying the gang. I'm disrespecting... the robbery. My brother could mix a relationship with all this, I can't. I find it impossible. I can't, Raquel. I'm a chess player. Bobby Fischer would've never faced Spassky with his girlfriend at his side.

El Profesor: I think the protocol can wait.
Raquel: No, tell me about it. Take it as... some kind of job training under pressure.
El Profesor: Very well. Point one. Dispersion. If we're located, we'll have twice the opportunities if we separate, and we have to do that... very fast.

Raquel: Be careful. If they catch you, I'll kill you.

El Profesor: And point two.... Point two. In the emergency bags, we have to bring money, a camouflage net, a thermal blanket, a gun... And water to survive at least 72...
Raquel: What's the name of point two? You give everything a name.
El Profesor: Epicenter. In everyone's mind, there's a fixed idea, which is the fugitive runs away. But we won't run away. We'll stay there. We will stay still, whatever happens, within a 500-meter radius of wherever we are detected.

Todo pareció insignificante

Money Heist 3×6

Berlín: Love can't be timed! Love is to be lived.

Coronel Prieto: Luis, don't make the same mistake I did. If you have to drop a 20-megaton bomb on them, you do it! Just do it! Don't be afraid of the consequences! That's better than dropping small shitty bombs every two hours. Because these fuckers, if you aren't forceful, they'll shit all over you.

Nairobi: From the moment we came here, you've been guilt-tripping yourself. Stop that right now.
Tokio: You were all so fucking happy. Swimming in money, and now here you are. It's normal to give myself a guilt-trip sometimes, isn't it?
Nairobi: I'm going to tell you one thing. And you're going to brand it on your pretty forehead… You're a free woman. You're free to go to a party, you're free to leave an island, and you're free to leave the planet if you want. Understood?

Nairobi: Do you know who fucked it up first? The Professor. Yes. One doesn't need to know you very well to know you can't stand living on a desert island. What are you now? Bin Laden? Are you? No, you're Tokyo. And the second one who fucked up was Rio. He bought the phones. He couldn't help it and he called you. But do you know what matters the most? We aren't here to do you a favor… We're here because we're adrenaline junkies. We're adrenaline junkies!

Bogotá: Everything that's healthy is boring. Nobody invites their friends over to eat deliciously cooked artichokes. Because eating artichokes… isn't fun. What's fun is eating lamb with friends or grilled piglet. Or gathering 50 friends at a country house and eating a cow. That's fun. I'm sorry for the cow, but that brings people together. Meat unites, cows unite and artichokes… divide.

Alicia Sierra: We will do what Putin would do. Shoot first… and ask questions later.

Bum, bum, ciao

Money Heist 3×5

El Profesor: A state can accept that they had to deploy the army on the streets. A state can allow you to go into the national reserve and steal the gold, but there's something they can't allow to happen. A state can't tolerate you getting to their secrets.

El Profesor: Because in those 24 boxes, there are the secrets from the Ministry of the Interior, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Intelligence, and how they spend the reserve fund. The sewers of the state! All those things the system can't allow to go public, or they'd go down the drain where their own shit is hidden.

Palermo: Gay sex is the best in the world, and do you know why? It's obvious. Because there are no women.
Nairobi: You aren't homosexual, you're misogynistic.
Palermo: No, ma'am. Don't mistake misogyny with biology. They're facts. It's very simple. We, men, need to get rid of our poison. Every few hours, we need to boom boom. Later, we reject the body that we spilled it onto. It doesn't matter which body, we can't help but to reject it. Then, we say, "Ciao." Boom, boom, ciao.

Palermo: I'm going to tell you why, and it's controversial. That's because female sex is conditioned by procreation. In some way or another, you're looking for a man to exchange genes. To form a family, which is revolting. You have too many things in your head. We have only one. Ejaculate. That's why we do: boom, boom, ciao. ….
Denver: Look, your theory is fucking shit, but the rhythm is catchy.

Nairobi: We do everything with bubbles. It's addictive. Look at these! Golden seeds, Governor.
Gobernador del Banco de España: Miss, what you're doing here will bring countless consequences.
Tokio: That's the lesson: Nothing is free. Everything we do has consequences.

Raquel: I would love to do a trip like this with you some weekend. I mean, without having to rob anything. Yes, it could be our honeymoon.
El Profesor: Yes.
Raquel: Well, for that we would need to marry first.
El Profesor: Well, I'm already living with your mother. Marrying you wouldn't be an issue.

Raquel: Hey… If you want to marry me, ask for my hand properly.

Alicia Sierra: I know you like to negotiate with policewomen. Aren't you going to ask me what I'm wearing?
El Profesor: I imagine maternity clothes.
Alicia Sierra: Oh, how old-fashioned you are! Are you one of those men who wear undershirts?
El Profesor: Actually, I am, but… Inspector, the classics never die. Don't you think? Alas, you can look like Pablo Escobar with an undershirt or like Marlon Brando in A Streetcar Named Desire.

Coronel Tamayo: Why did you tell her that?
Alicia Sierra: Because this is a card game, and I went all-in. And now they will be fucked for a while. And that's what the game is about. Screwing someone.

Palermo: Let me tell you something that you need to know, because you're old enough. In the relationships of love, we have the lover and the beloved. The lover lives the relationship with passion, devotion, and romanticism. The beloved… simply enjoys being worshiped. I'm not saying being a lover is a bad thing. Don't get me wrong, please. But do you know what? Lovers suffer a lot, dear. Whereas, I have my fun. The only yield I get is sex. It's the fucking law of love, Nairobi. I'm sorry. It's the way it is.

Churchill (2017)

Winston Churchill: Beaches... always bring it back. Almost 30 years have gone now. So many young men. So much... waste.

Winston Churchill: I am choosing between trials and tribulations. Do stop adding to them.

Winston Churchill: "The soldiers have born their burden with pride..."
Jan Smuts: "The soldiers have born their burden with valor." Valor is better than pride.
Winston Churchill: "The soldiers have born their burden with valor."
Jan Smuts: "And pride."

Dwight Eisenhower: You haven't believed in this all along...
Winston Churchill: Someone had to speak on behalf of the ordinary fighting men.

Clemmie Churchill: Maybe you should listen to him.
Winston Churchill: Is everyone to overrule everything I say? The king appointed me Prime Minister of this country. And it's my duty, to lead them through this war!
Clemmie Churchill: Don't you see you aren't the only one capable of making decisions?
Winston Churchill: Is this about the war... or is it about you and me?
Clemmie Churchill: Do you want to be cuddled, Winston?
Winston Churchill: I would settle for some respect.
Clemmie Churchill: Then don't complain, when someone tells you the truth.

Jan Smuts: Being a great leader doesn't always mean seizing the glory. Sometimes you have to accept, that you cannot lead everything from of the front.
Winston Churchill: You and I are like two old lovebirds, mooting together on a perch, but still able to peck.

Winston Churchill: If you want me... to submit, to this... unquestionably dangerous plan, the least you can do is let me, lead my men into battle. I will not seat back in London with my paws crossed. listening to them being mooned down by German bullets from the wireless. I'll go with them. I shall share their fate.
Dwight Eisenhower: Don't ask me host your goddamn amateur theatrics! There is a war on!
Winston Churchill: I am not asking you to host anything. I shall be travelling to France as the King's Prime Minister, aboard the King's ship. And what's more, the King will be coming with me.
Dwight Eisenhower: What?!
Winston Churchill: His Majesty and I... are in complete agreement. We must be there... to lead the men. And there is nothing you or Monty can do about it.

King George VI: The right thing to do, is what normally falls to those at the top on such occasions... to remain at home. And wait.

King George VI: Everyone thinks they are the most powerful man in the world. Until not allowed to do... anything at all. My job... is not to fight, not to die. I must... exist. And be gracious... tonight. Bring hope. And that is my duty. And it is yours... too.
Winston Churchill: My duty...

King George VI: Britain will thank you for it, Winston. I believe all of us will. Forever.

Winston Churchill: I cannot work if I am surrounded by such incompetence. I'll show Brooke and Monty, what it takes to be a real general. I will show them, how great men win their wars.
Clemmie Churchill: Stop it! Just stop it! Brooke and Eisenhower and Monty are fighting this war and you just keep getting in their way.
Winston Churchill: I am Prime Minister of this country!
Clemmie Churchill: Exactly.
Winston Churchill: And minister of defense!
Clemmie Churchill: Don't pull rank, makes you seem small.

Winston Churchill: So many young men... Same as in the last war. Barely more than boys.
Clemmie Churchill: They have grown up with this war. They are brave.
Winston Churchill: Too young to know how to be afraid.

Clemmie Churchill: What will you say tomorrow?
Winston Churchill: I don't know. Depends on the news.
Clemmie Churchill: No it doesn't. Whatever happens tonight, you must give them hope. Even if 20,000 men are dead, you can't lead their wives and mothers and children thinking, they have died for no reason. You must stand with them, make their sacrifice have a purpose. Make them believe that by God, they will win this war.
Winston Churchill: And I'll do it with them. For that is my duty. Isn't it?

Winston Churchill: Fighting is what I have always done.. It's the core of who I am. If I do this, if I make this speech, I won't be fighting any more.
Clemmie Churchill: No, you won't.
Winston Churchill: Who will I be, when it's all over? If we win or it ends in disaster? What will I be, if I'm no longer fighting?
Clemmie Churchill: You will always be the man, who let us through this.

Алекс Тарн — В поисках утраченного героя (2/2)

<< Начало

&  Слабых людей часто именуют бесхарактерными, что в корне неправильно. Причина их слабости не в отсутствии характера, а напротив — в наличии нескольких характеров, каждый из которых тянет в свою сторону и в итоге мешает всем остальным.
     Любопытно, что в умозрительных вопросах, не требующих вмешательства личности, такой человек, как правило, уперт до невозможности, компенсируя тем самым свою поведенческую нерешительность. Если уж он решит, что дважды два — пять, то его не переубедит ни ученый совет Гарварда, ни коллегия священной инквизиции. Зато простой житейский контакт с такими людьми сводится всего лишь к поиску союзника внутри осажденной крепости. Найди в ней среди множества характеров свой, союзный — и ворота сами распахнутся перед твоими колесницами.
     ...этот тип весьма распространен ... конкретно в России, а в остальном, нормальном мире встречается далеко не столь часто. Зато там, ... таким людям даже придумали специальное название — «интеллигенты». Я не раз наблюдал, как переводчики удрученно вздыхают, сталкиваясь с этим словом — обманчиво ясным, если судить по корню, от которого оно образовано.
     Но в том-то и дело, что ясность эта врет, причем врет нагло, в глаза: интеллигент вовсе не обязательно отличается интеллектом. Чаще всего он скорее глуп, чем умен, ибо, как уже отмечалось, склонен к ослиной компенсации, мешающей нормальному ходу мышления. Он обладает многими характерами — это да, но интеллектом — далеко не всегда. Отчего же, ... его назвали именно «интеллигент», а не, скажем, «полихаракт»? Остается только догадываться... Думаю, это просто самоназвание — в корне неверное, но прижившееся: как я уже заметил, интеллигенты не особенно умны, беспринципны в поступках, зато чудовищно упрямы во всем, что касается терминологии.

&  На лице его отражалась ожесточенная внутренняя борьба: наиболее разумный голос, требующий немедленно выгнать меня ко всем чертям, успешно заглушался нестройным гамом противодействующих мнений.

&  Неприятно чувствовать себя объектом манипуляции — особенно когда готовил роль марионетки для другого.

&  Нет ничего глупее и безнадежнее, чем напрашиваться в «свои». Отказ быть тем, кто ты есть, приводит к тому, что становишься никем, даже ничем, нулем, объектом всеобщего презрения.

&  Трудно все время находиться рядом с чужим враждебным человеком. Людям для дыхания требуется не только кислород; радость — не менее важный компонент.

&  Знаете, как это — пока не определишь словами, до конца не поймешь.

&  Проблема в том, что сын отвечает за отца на суде, от которого не спрячешься, не убежишь, потому что невозможно убежать от самого себя. Мы сами судим своих отцов, сами выносим им приговор и сами несем потом наказание.

&  Из всех видов подавляющего большинства наиболее подавляет именно подавляющее большинство идиотов.

&  Похоже, что в очень больших дозах маразм — даже чужой — оказывает парализующее действие.

&  Лучшим лекарством от болтанки неопределенности является возвращение к якорю обыденности.

Lamar: I hear about a sexy lady who lives to serve, my imagination runs wild.
Eli Cohen: No, no, no, no. No. She's my wife's lover, not mine.
Lamar: Well, I would now like to say the two most beautiful words in the English language: three-way.
Eli Cohen: Technically, that's one word.
Lamar: Don't hit me with that hyphen bullshit. I'm trying to get you laid, bitch.

Simone Grove: It's funny, my first husband liked booze more than me. My second liked cocaine more than me. My third likes boys more than me. Am I the only one here seeing a pattern?

Narrator: It's a simple question, really. Why would a woman kill? And who would she murder? The man who did her wrong? The other woman? Perhaps a friend guilty of betrayal? To know the answer, you must listen to the woman's story. Discover her secrets. Only then can you understand the choices she made. You might condemn her. You might forgive her. You might think you'd have done the exact same thing. But for the woman who kills, only one question really matters... Does she get away with it?

Алекс Тарн — В поисках утраченного героя

  “Когда наступает хамсин, мы сразу вспоминаем, что окружены пустынями, как врагами. ...

&  Все они казались вышедшими из-под одного штампа — неистребимо совкового в своем антисовковом пафосе. Узнаваемо поначалу,стандартно впоследствии, скучно под конец.

&  ...взяв деньги, я испытал незнакомое и неприятное чувство, будто кого-то одурачил. Подумать только, я — кого-то, а не наоборот, как это бывает обычно! Должен заметить, что второй, более привычный вариант всегда нравился мне существенно больше: и людям радость, и тебе спокойствие — никто не заявится с претензиями.

&  Повседневность и впрямь требует иного вида храбрости и упрямства.

&  Страницы нынешних газет, журналов и книг пестрят чудовищными грамматическими ошибками, и это мало кого волнует.
     Но поверьте моему слову: даже одна-единственная не на своем месте стоящая запятая выпирает из текста, как дохлая вмерзшая в лед ворона выпирает из гладкой поверхности катка. Она мало помешает тем, кто скользит по катку одним лишь взглядом, да и то не очень внимательно. Но по-настоящему хороший читатель — тот, который самолично спускается на лед, — непременно зацепится за нее коньком.

&  Но что такое ритуал человеческого общения, как не средство охраны собственного личного пространства от посягательства других?

&  Ей, видите ли, не хочется принимать от меня простое «спасибо» — эту мелкую монетку, которую люди используют при ежедневных разменах и расчетах! Но ведь даже дураку понятно, что отказ взять мелочь означает скрытую претензию на весь сейф, на все состояние...

&  Глупость — она ведь тоже вид преднамеренности, потому что любой человек от природы умен и тупит сначала с умыслом, а потом — по рабской своей привычке.

&  В том-то и трагедия, что хочется одновременно и свиньей в загородке хрюкать, и соколом воспарить. Намного проще было бы выбрать что-нибудь одно... — ан нет, естество не дает. Без рабства боязно, без свободы тошно. Прямо гибрид какой-то получается, свинья с крыльями... В рабском Египте такого назвали бы свинксом.

&  ...все вокруг терпят точно так же, как и мы. А неприятность, поделенную на всех, принято у людей считать благом.

Money Heist 3×4

Bogotá: Do you know what it means to be a good father?.. Behaving in the exact same way when you weren't a father.
Denver: Of course, and leave the after-party still high in the morning.
Bogotá: If you like to get high on Wednesdays, you have to keep doing it. You have to, or you will end up hating your son. And that would really make you a bad father. Believe me.

Bogotá: You can't deny your own DNA. Never. If you were a robber, you're still one. And if you used to risk your life, keep risking it.

Nairobi: The worst is in the past. Now the fun begins...

Palermo: Technology is wonderful, isn't it? Internet and hidden or replicated IP addresses. With the money we have, we could buy a satellite in Kazakhstan. But that would only take us to one place. The shittiest place. You fight technology with technology. In this, the government can win, but... there's something in which they can't compete with: Time travel... 1941. Made in England. With these devices, the BBC broadcast from Great Britain to the whole world. Shortwave, ladies and gentlemen. No technology can inhibit such a frequency. We'll talk through here.
Nairobi: Everyone could listen in on us with that.
Palermo: Yes, Nairobi. Every moron with a walkie-talkie will be able to hear us. But... will they be able to understand us? Absolutely not. Computer encodings. In the broadcast and in the reception as well. These encodings won't be easy. We will put in 2300 layers. They can bring 200 million Chinese ballbusters, and they'd still never decode it. Synchronization.

El Profesor: We're going to travel to the past.
Helsinki: I had that one for five years and I only had to charge it once.
El Profesor: Second-generation phones. No Internet and especially no GPS. With these phones, we will only make one call. Only one, no more, to an external collaborator.

El Profesor: I'm sorry, but we don't know each other, so I would like to ask you a question... Are you in love?
Coronel Tamayo: I've been married for more than 17 years, something uncommon nowadays. That's the irrefutable proof of my love, Professor.
El Profesor: Yes. I see. However, and excuse me again, I don't think you are. Because when someone is in love, life becomes rose-tinted. Everything looks beautiful and one turns into a kind of teddy bear that smiles constantly. Someone in love doesn't shout or insult his coworkers so rudely. That's why I asked.
Coronel Tamayo: I know you've been listening to us, you piece of shit!
El Profesor: Colonel, think about the last time you made love...

Raquel: Do you know what's wrong with you? You've become an egomaniac. You don't trust the plan because it isn't yours.

El Profesor: Why did you want to join the robbery so badly? Why are you so anxious about it? You're like those people who quit smoking and then start hating tobacco and the smoke and people who smoke, and they become the biggest Taliban against tobacco. That's happening to you with the police. You hate the police because they destroyed your life, because they tried to take your daughter away, because there's an arrest warrant issued against you and you want revenge. Revenge. And you aren't thinking about Tokyo, Rio or Berlin. You're thinking about yourself. And if that's the case, then I don't think you should be part of the plan... I need more time.

Ella: .... since no one's allowed in or out of the dome, it had to be one of those five. So we got ourselves a locked-door mystery, mi amiga.

Michael: Detective, what's wrong?
Chloe: You just lied to her.
Michael: Uh, no. You did. I just kept up the ruse.
Chloe: You never lie.
Michael: Remember, Detective, for you, I was only gone for two months. But for me, I was in Hell for thousands of years. A few things might have changed, maybe even improved. After all, a little white lie could be quite beneficial...

Michael: No. I'm pissed. Lucifer finally does what he's supposed to do without whining about it, and he gets praised? He rebelled against Dad. Almighty God, for God's sake. Since when do we congratulate a convict for serving a sentence?

Dan: You never do nothing. Something is definitely up.

Michael: ... I'll see you later, Detective.
Chloe: Um... was that an invitation?
Dan: Don't ask me. The guy's a freaking enigma.

Brody: Jeff Bezos can Bezos our butt!

Chloe: You know, I am hungry. Do you want anything from the vending machine?

Michael: I've decided I'm not going to break Lucifer's life. I'm gonna take it. So, if you'll excuse me... I have a date to keep.

Chloe: Once I shot Lucifer to prove he was the Devil, and now I'm shooting you to prove you're not. .....
Michael: You know that won't kill me.
Chloe: Yeah, but it makes me feel better.

Michael: Lucifer's life sucks anyway. The only thing worse is the traffic.

Never My Love

Outlander 5×12

Wendigo Donner: Where did you come from before you settled here? Do you have clear night skies where you come from? I can't tell one star from another like some people can. The Moon... that's the same wherever you go. Looks like a man on the moon... staring back at us.

Wendigo Donner: Does the name Ringo Starr mean anything to you?

Wendigo Donner: I should've known what you were... Before Dr. Rawlings... Jesus H. Roosevelt Christ. You don't act afraid of men. Most of the women from now do. You ought to act more afraid.

Jamie: Checked on the turkey. Oh, it gets bigger every year, as does our family.

Jamie: First, I, uh... I want to thank you all for being here today. I'm grateful for my beautiful wife, blood of my blood, bone of my bone. My heart was yours since I first saw ye. Ye've held my soul in your two hands, kept it safe. Slàinte.

Jamie: I have lived through war and lost much. I know what's worth a fight and what is not. Honor and courage are matters of the bone. And what a man will kill for, he'll sometimes die for, too. A man's life springs from his woman's bones, and in her blood is his honor christened. For the sake of love alone will I walk through fire again.

Claire: That post is crooked.
Jamie: Is that all? I'll mend it now.
Claire: No. We'll wait until tomorrow. Let's just enjoy this... ordinary day.

Claire: Oh, who knows how much longer we'll have this peace, knowing what's coming?
Jamie: Aye. Aye, the Revolution. The bravest are surely those with the clearest vision of what is before them... Glory, danger alike... Yet notwithstanding, go out to meet it... That was Thucydides who said that, not me.
Claire: Well, you'd know all about that, wouldn't you?
Jamie: Ah, it's only brave when there's a choice ye must make.
Claire: Well, we'll meet it the best we can.

Claire: I love you.
Jamie: When the day shall come that we do part... If my last words are not "I love you," ye ken it's because I didna have time.

The One with the Chicken Pox

Friends 2×23

Phoebe: He's my submarine guy. He resurfaces, like, every couple years... and we have the most amazing three days together. Only this time, he's coming for two weeks. Two whole weeks, which means "yay. "

Richard: Are you remaking the bed?
Monica: I'm sorry, I'm sorry. You know what? The way you did it, it was just fine.
Richard: Then you're redoing it because?..
Monica: If I tell you, you'll think I'm crazy.
Richard: You're pretty much running that risk either way.
Monica: Okay. You see... the duvet tag shouldn't be at the top left corner... it should be at the bottom right corner.
Richard: Uh-huh. Well, that's not so crazy.
Monica: I'm just easing you in.
Richard: Ha. All right.
Monica: All right, you see these little flower blossoms? They should be facing up, not down... because, well, the head of the bed is where the sun would be. You don't love me anymore, do you?
Richard: Actually, if it's possible, I love you more.
Monica: Really? Wow. Well, then, come on. I wanna show you how to fold the toilet paper into a point.

Chandler: Joey, ... I can get you a job right here as an entry-level processor.
Joey: Don't you need experience for a job like that?
Chandler: It's not that hard to learn. And as for people realizing you don't know what you're doing, hey, you're an actor. Act like a processor, people will think you're a processor.

Phoebe: No, no. You have to stay back. I have the pox.
Ryan: Chicken or small?
Phoebe: Chicken, which is so ironic considering I'm a vegetarian.

Monica: God, I love that I can be totally neurotic around you now. Tell me the truth.
Richard: Hmm.
Monica: Don't you like it better that everything on your desk is perpendicular?
Richard: If it's not a right angle, it is a wrong angle.

Monica: Big deal. So you have a side of the bed. Everybody has a side of the bed.
Richard: Hey, come on. You haven't heard my reason yet.
Monica: All right, go on.
Richard: Okay. I have to sleep on the west side... because I grew up in California... and otherwise...the ocean would be on the wrong side.
Monica: Oh, my God. You're a freak.

Really Sad Devil Guy

Lucifer 5×1

Lee Garner: What the hell?
Lucifer: Precisely.

Ella: As far as I'm concerned, Lucifer can, well... He can go to Hell.

Ella: I'll know more when I get back to the lab.

— You ladies wanna dance? 'Cause on a scale from one to ten, you two are nines, and, uh, we're the ones you need.

Lee Garner: I'm in Hell? I... I don't understand.
Lucifer: Eternal damnation? Infinite suffering? It's a pretty straightforward concept.
Lee Garner: No, I mean, like... "Hell" Hell?
Lucifer: The one and only.
Lee Garner: Then get me the hell out of here!
Lucifer: It's not up to me, I'm afraid. In Hell, you are your own jailer. You brought yourself here.
Lee Garner: Then I'mma take myself on up outta here, then... How in the hell?!
Lucifer: Same response every time, and it's not that simple.

Lee Garner: But why am I here?
Lucifer: Well, that's between you and your own guilt. It's what brought you here, and it's what will torture you now through the end of time.

Lucifer: Please. Enjoy your eternity of suffering.
Lee Garner: Wait, man. You can't go. You can't just leave me here alone.
Lucifer: No, you won't be alone. My demons will always be on hand, torturing you and such, so chin up, mate.

Linda: I was hoping that you could teach him some science. I'm a firm believer in a strong STEM foundation.
Ella: Oh, yeah. Science, technology, engineering, math. Super important. Isn't Charlie, like, two months old?
Linda: Oh, I know what you're thinking. But Charlie is a special child.
Ella: Yeah. Every child is special in their mom's eyes, huh?
Linda: Yeah, no, but Charlie's actually special.
Ella: Yeah...
Linda: That's why the classical music, the science lessons, baby Pilates... It's all to harness his full potential, which is... Which is something the world has never seen.
Ella: Yeah...

Lucifer: So, back to your torture. And me to mine.

Lucifer: Well... I just used to call her "Detective," but... her name...

Lee Garner: Ah, man, ... You just seem like a really sad devil guy.

Linda: He's special.
Dan: Yeah. We all think our own kid can walk on water, right?
Linda: I hadn't thought of that... Cancel swimming lessons.

Lee Garner: Hey, this isn't just about me, is it? Whose Hell is this anyway?

'Lucifer': Hello, bad guys... I hope I'm not late to the party.

Journeycake

Outlander 5×11

Jamie: Peanuts?
Claire: Mm-hmm.
Jamie: Why? The pigs dinna want for slops. Or do you, uh, mean to make medicine out of them, Sassenach?
Claire: No, sandwiches. Haven't quite mastered ice cream yet, but I'll be damned if Jemmy grows up without tasting peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

Jamie: Thou goest home this night to thy home of autumn, and of spring and of summer. Thou goest home this night to thy perpetual home, to thine eternal bed. To thine eternal slumber.

Otter Tooth: "These people do not measure time by any scale I know, nor do I have the tongue to find out. But I know I am too late."

Jamie: Hm... Very tasty, but, um... are you sure it's to be eaten? Ye could seal letters or mend your boots wi' it as well.

Jamie: To home. To family. Slàinte mhath.

Voltaire says the perfect is the enemy of the good.
Jamie: I'm sure Voltaire never dug a privy in his life.

Роберт Ибатуллин — Роза и червь

  “Первый снаряд вошёл в атмосферу над Коралловым морем – центнеровый стержень добела раскалённого графита на скорости в половину световой. ...

&  Все мятежи и перевороты похожи в одном: в разгар событий никто не знает толком, что происходит. Один древний стратег писал о «тумане войны». Ничуть не менее густ и «туман восстания». Лишь когда всё затихнет, можно будет составить из отрывочных, противоречивых свидетельств что-то вроде связной истории – и «связная» совсем не обязательно будет значить «сколько-нибудь близкая к истине».

&  Не стоило унижать врага, пока победа не окончательна.

&  Кто-то из древних сказал: лишь в моменты кризиса выясняется, кто по-настоящему держит власть.

&  Но чего стоит случайность, если не умеешь ей воспользоваться?

&  Есть ходы, которым невозможно противостоять, даже при полном осознании манипуляции. Червь надавил ей на самую чувствительную струну, возбудил в ней те чувства, что сильнее разума. Она всё ещё могла отказать, но знала, что будет всю жизнь мучительно раскаиваться в отказе... Всю жизнь.

&  – Это не упрёк, это констатация факта. В данном случае ты ни при чём, но вообще убивать направо и налево – это по-твоему. Признай, из всех возможных решений ты всегда выбираешь наиболее жестокое.
     – Я выбираю наиболее реалистичное.
     – Гуманность не равна идеализму. Соответственно, жестокость не равна реализму. Это ортогональные оси координат. Отождествляя их, ты впадаешь в типичное когнитивное искажение. Попросту говоря, ты безумен.

  ... Он залпом выпил безвкусной маслянистой водицы, отставил стакан и жадно заработал ложкой, не смущаясь коллективного разума, что внимательно смотрел на него двумястами пар бессмысленных глаз.”
