Captain Healy: We'll have dinner at Adriano's.
Jesse Stone: Tonight?
Captain Healy: Tonight.

Luther 'Suitcase' Simpson: She's interviewing the candidate, Lou.
Jesse Stone: I'm Jesse.
Luther 'Suitcase' Simpson: I know.
Jesse Stone: If you keep calling me Lou, Suitcase, I'm going to call you Luther.
Luther 'Suitcase' Simpson: Why would I call you Lou, Jesse?

Jesse Stone: What are you looking at?

Jesse Stone: Sorry. I was fighting crime.

Jesse Stone: Paradise is my last stop, Rose. There's nowhere to go from here.

Jesse Stone: How do you know I was in Boston?
Luther 'Suitcase' Simpson: The information's out there. All you have to do is let it in.

Jesse Stone: So you think we should be careful.
Sidney Greenstreet: I think we should carefully do this again. Pals who have sex...
I've heard it described as that.

Jesse Stone: You know, you keep this up, you'll make detective some day.
Rose Gammon: We don't have detectives.
Jesse Stone: No, but if we did.

Rose Gammon: It could be just a coincidence...
Jesse Stone: Cops don't like coincidences.

Sidney Greenstreet: You're on thin ice, Jesse. They're building a case against you.

Jesse Stone: I need you not to ask any questions.
Luther 'Suitcase' Simpson: Why?
Jesse Stone: That's a question. I want you to have plausible deniability.
Luther 'Suitcase' Simpson: Why?
Jesse Stone: I can't tell you.
Luther 'Suitcase' Simpson: Why?
Jesse Stone: Because if I tell you, you can't plausibly deny knowing it.

Luther 'Suitcase' Simpson: You'll explain to me one day, won't you, Lou?
Jesse Stone: Yes, I will, Luther.

Luther 'Suitcase' Simpson: You can only do what you can do, Jesse.

Josh's Ex-Girlfriend Is Crazy.

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend 3×4

Paula: You're not thinking straight.
Rebecca: Oh, I'm not thinking straight. Why? 'Cause I'm crazy?

Nathaniel: Yeah, she's zany, but in a cute way.

Jarl: You have the anger of a much taller woman.
Rebecca: Oh, I am angry, Jarl. I'm seven-feet-tall angry.

Paula: I am your friend now, and... I love you, and Rebecca is your friend and she loves you, and female friendships are very strange, and I just... stop complaining. Because we have to help Rebecca now, even if you think she deserves a yank on the pony.

Rebecca: I have decided to reenact every great revenge movie ever made, and it's... ugh! It is so good to see Josh squirm.
Jarl: But what happens after you do all these scary things to him?
Rebecca: I-I don't know. I-I feel better, I guess?
Jarl: No. You die. That's how every one of these movies ends. Stabbing, shooting, drowning. The monster has to be killed.

Rebecca: No. That's-that's not how my movie has to end. No. I am independently financed... in my own mind.

Josh: Leave... me... alone.

Goodbye Berlin (2016)

Maik: [My mother] said to me, "You can't learn much from me. But two things you can learn: First, you can talk about anything. Second, what others think doesn't mean shit."

Herr Wagenbach: Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention please, we've got a new classmate. His name is Andrej. Tsch... Tschicha...tschoroff. Please?
Tschick: Tschichatschow.

Tschick: My family is from all over. Volga Germans, Kalmyks, Wallachians, Jewish Gypsies.
Maik: Jewish Gypsies, there's no such thing. That's like saying there are English French.
Tschick: There are Jewish French and Jewish Gypsies.
Maik: Either you're a Jew or a Gypsy.
Tschick: Jewish is a religion. A Gypsy is just someone without a home.
Maik: People without homes are Berbers.
Tschick: Yeah right, Berbers are carpets.

Maik: Don't we have a map?
Tschick: No phone, no map!
Maik: We'll never get there.
Tschick: Maps are for pussies.

Tschick: I'm not driving back!

Maik: Let's meet up in 50 years at this exact spot. On 28 July 2066. Whatever we're doing then. Or is that stupid?

Mid-way to Mid-town

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel 2×2

Midge: Anyhow, some rules you need to follow. Rule number one: no eating in the living room. Rule number two: touch nothing pink. Rule number three... Rule number 38: do not touch Papa's robe!

Susie: Eighteen and a half... Such a tiny fucking thigh.

Susie: I'm sorry. I'm having a little trouble focusing here right now. I'm very high, and there's just a lot of words coming from a little, yellow light source, and it's freaking me out. It feels like a flower's yelling at me.

Susie: A gig. A real gig. A paying gig. No passing the hat. A club with booze and everything.
Midge: Midtown? A midtown gig?
Susie: Almost. 15th Street.
Midge: Wow. Midway to midtown.

Susie: Money is my main goal. I don't have any, and I'd like some.

Abe: The Bible serves its purpose. It is basically a moral set of rules. A... a road map. Men are not able to determine right or wrong without a road map.

Rose: Let me guess. Freud?
Abe: Better. The Bible.

Abe: We spent two hours debating moral nihilism versus mereological or compositional nihilism. At least, I think that's what we were debating. I can't be sure. Either way, it's nihilism, so who cares?

Rose: Bonne nuit, mon amour.
Abe: Bonne nuit, mon amour.
Rose: You're a wonderful man.
Abe: You're a terrible cook.

Joel: Let me guess, it's worse than I thought.
Mrs. Moskowitz: Oh, much, much worse. None of these numbers add up. A... and this writing. At first, I thought it was in Hebrew, but then I realized parts are in Yiddish. And this is ancient Aramaic, which has been a dead language for 2,000 years.

Mrs. Moskowitz: I think it's a numerical system that has eliminated the number six.

---

Shirley: What do you want to know?
Mrs. Moskowitz: Well, everything would be nice.
Shirley: This column is the money we have. This column is the money we will have as soon as these people from this column or that column pay us. Unless it has a bagel stamp, which means it's still being negotiated but we started the work anyway in case it works out. Three flags, that means the check cleared. Two flowers, that means a half and half.
Mrs. Moskowitz: A half and half?
Shirley: Half check, half cash. Or half cash, half services. Or half... something and half something else.

Mrs. Moskowitz: Uh, can I just ask you... um, there is a Sunny spelled with a "U" and a Sonny with an "O" and another with an I-E. Is that the same Sonny?
Shirley: Of course it's the same Sonny. It's Sonny. Sonny from Queens.

Shirley: This is a foolproof system that I invented myself. Completely secure. Only I can understand it... I don't know.

Shirley: Oh, well, we know when the loans are due. A couple of guys break in in the middle of the night. They bust up some chairs and windows. And that's when we know the loan is due.

Midge: Smell that?
Susie: Smells like cheap beer and piss.
Midge: I know. Exciting, right?

Midge: So, going fifth is better 'cause...?
Susie: The audience is drunker? Lowers the bar...

Joel: Remember, it's not permanent.

Midge: Tits up.
Susie: Arms down.

Midge: All comics are comics 'cause something in their lives went horribly wrong. Something went to shit...

Midge: Now, think about this. Comedy is fueled by oppression, by the lack of power, by sadness and disappointment, by abandonment and humiliation... Now, who the hell does that describe more than women? Judging by those standards, only women should be funny. And Stan.

Abe: Zelda... What can you make that's French?
Zelda: Nothing.
Abe: What can you make that we can say is French, isn't, but he'll never know?
Zelda: Goulash.
Abe: Perfect!

Collateral Beauty (2016)

Howard: Life is about people. Advertising is about illuminating how our products and services will improve people's lives. Now, how do we do that?... Love. Time. Death. Now these three abstractions connect every single human being on Earth. Everything that we covet, everything that we fear not having, everything that we ultimately end up buying is because at the end of the day we long for love, we wish we had more time, and we fear death. Love. Time. Death. Let's begin there.

Whit: When something starts with a six-year-old dying, nothing is gonna feel right.

Howard: "Time, they say you heal all wounds, but they don't talk about how you destroy all that's good in the world. How you turn beauty into ash. Well, you're nothing more than petrified wood to me. You're a dead tissue that won't decompose. You're nothing."

Whit: ...someone said something very, very wise to me. They said, "Maybe you should stop trying to force your reality on her and just... Just go into her reality."
Claire: I thought you couldn't afford therapy anymore.
Whit: I can't. It was my Uber driver.

Brigitte: So, you want us to gaslight your boss?
Whit: Huh? I'm sorry?
Brigitte: Gas Light.... You know? It was a play, then it was a movie. Gas Light? Oh, my God. Does nobody ever watch anything longer than eight seconds anymore?

Brigitte: Let's move on. What's next?
Claire: Well, Howard wrote three letters to Love, Death and Time. So, I guess the only question is who plays who?
Brigitte: Casting. Very important. Love... Death... Time.
Raffi: Great. When do we get paid?

Howard: I'm, uh... I'm trying to fix my mind.
Madeline: You lost a child, Howard. It'll never be fixed.

---

Time: You all like to bitch and complain. "There isn't enough time." "Life is short." "Oh, here, the gray hairs are coming in." You know, a day is long as hell. I'm abundant. I'm a gift. Even while you're standing here talking shit, I'm gifting you, and you're wasting it. On what?

Claire: What was that thing you said about Einstein in there?
Raffi: Einstein called time a stubbornly persistent illusion. What's that even mean? or from noon to midnight. You know, we all just make it that way in our heads.

Madeline: So, I assume you're a part of the 79%?
Howard: Mmm?
Madeline: Of couples who get divorced after losing a child.

Madeline: Oh, so Death is a "her"?
Howard: Uh, yeah. It turns out Death is an elderly white woman.

Madeline: ....And there was this woman who sat next to me. And she asked me who I was about to lose. And I told her. And she looked at me and she said, "Just be sure to notice the collateral beauty."

Madeline: I just didn't get it at the time. See, it wasn't said out of sympathy or awkwardness. It was from experience. About a year later, something started to happen to me, you know. I would be walking or on the subway, whatever, and I would just burst into tears. But these weren't Olivia tears. These were tears born from something else, from this kind of profound connection to everything. And I realized it was the collateral beauty.

Time: See, you just waste time. See, I give you a gift and you just waste it!
Howard: I don't care about time. This is a prison sentence!

Love: No. I'm in all of it. I'm the darkness and the light, I'm the sunshine and the storm. Yes, you're right. I was there in her laugh, but I'm also here now in your pain. I'm the reason for everything. I am the only "why." Don't try and live without me, Howard. Please don't.

Allison's the best thing you got happening in this world, and tomorrow's not promised.

Brigitte: Nothing's ever really dead if you look at it right.

The Austere Academy: Part Two

A Series of Unfortunate Events 2×2

Carmelita Spats: Who can't be beat?
— A dead horse!

Lemony Snicket: "School spirit" is a curious term. The phrase might sound as if it refers to a ghost or other undead phantasm haunting an educational establishment like very old gum clinging to a trophy case... What "school spirit" actually refers to is the belief one particular school is better than another.

Count Olaf: "Settle down." How often I hear those words come out of people's ears and into my mouth... "Settle," a word which here means "settling for less," and "down," my personal least favorite direction. Let me tell you a story...

Count Olaf: Settling down is what losers do. Settling down started World War I. Settling down is what happens when you bite your lip, and your lip gets swollen, so you bite your lip again, and then you keep biting your lip over and over. I don't want that!

Count Olaf: I think this calls for a little democracy, my second favorite style of government.

Count Olaf: Students! Faculty! Don't worry if every exercise program you have tried has failed you, because I am here to fail you more by putting the "whip" back into "whip you into shape."

Count Olaf: You are a genius.
Vice Principal Nero: You're a genius for noticing.
Count Olaf: You're the genius for saying so.
Vice Principal Nero: You're a genius for agreeing.
Count Olaf: All right, I'm the genius.

Count Olaf: Genius ideas are simple, like the wheel or neurosurgery.

Jacques Snicket: Oh, and by the way, I believe it takes one to know one. Cake-sniffer.

Lemony Snicket: That night was indeed a dark day. All nights are dark days, because night is simply a badly-lit version of day. But a dark day also refers to a time when something terrible is going on.

Count Olaf: My whole life is going around and around in circles. Like those things a hamster plays on before you put it in the oven.

---

Count Olaf: Good morning! Today is the first day of the life of your rest... First life of the rest of your day... Today... Today is the first day of the life of your rest. That's what I said. I said it the right way the first time.

Mr. Poe: Klaus, you can't argue with technology.
Count Olaf: Well said, Hat Stevens! You must be a very self-actualized person.
Mr. Poe: Well, I do eat a lot of yogurt.
Count Olaf: De-licious!

Count Olaf: Yes! Yes, let's hear it. I want your energy dumped on my head so it can run down my face like lotion.

Count Olaf: I feel it. Can you feel it, Caligula?
Vice Principal Nero: Nero.

Count Olaf: This school has a new kind of spirit energy. A sense of unity and joy which you usually cannot find unless you are at a birthday party or a public hanging.

Count Olaf: Hey, Gomorrah! Sass!
Mr. Remora: It's Mrs. Bass, and my name is Remora.
Count Olaf: We'll find out who's full of remora soon enough.

Lemony Snicket: Look away from this austere academy before it is too late. This episode in the lives of the Baudelaires is nearly over, but there is still time for it to get much worse.

Count Olaf: This reminds me of a story. Some time ago...

Lemony Snicket: ...This story ends the way all stories end. With the motto of Prufrock Preparatory School. That motto is "memento mori," and it means...
Count Olaf: Remember, you will die!...

Конни Уиллис — Не считая собаки

avva:

«Самая любимая у меня ее книга, "To Say Nothing Of The Dog" (самый остроумный фантастический роман всех времен и народов, по моему скромному мнению) ...»

sova-f:

«Эйфория. Пир британского юмора ...»

Оксфордский цикл

 “Нас было пятеро – Каррадерс, новичок и я, а еще Спивенс и причетник. ...

&  – Корпус вперед. Колени раскройте. Держите курс. Не заваливайтесь.
     Что может быть полезнее выкрикиваемых над ухом указаний, особенно маловразумительных?

&  Она приподняла «Трубящего оленя». Под колпаком обнаружилось загадочное пряно пахнущее месиво из коричневых кусочков.
     – А это что?
     – Почки, припущенные в остром соусе, – чатни с горчицей. ... А это холодная куропатка.
     – А яичницы с беконом нет?
     Она покачала головой:
     – Яичница – это мещанство. Копченую сельдь? – Верити протянула мне кусок мореной рыбы на вилке.
     Я ограничился овсянкой.

&  – Так, правила предельно просты. Очки начисляются за проведение шара через шесть воротец – четверо крайних и двое в центре – дважды, то есть туда и обратно. Один ход – один удар. Если пробиваешь шар через воротца, тебе дается дополнительный удар. Если сбиваешь своим шаром чужой, то получаешь право на крокирование (удар по чужому шару) и дополнительный удар, но если за один раз пробьешь две пары воротец, все равно получаешь только один дополнительный удар. Ударив один раз, больше бить не имеешь права, пока не пройдешь следующие воротца, но первых воротец это не касается. Если бьешь по уже ударенному шару, теряешь ход. ... Вот это границы площадки, – она очертила молотком, – северная, южная, восточная и западная. Вот тут ярдовая линия, вот там стартовая. Все понятно?
     – Предельно.

&  Я постепенно формулировал девиз: «Поступай как знаешь, все равно опростоволосишься».

&  Закон Вселенной: свою эпоху никогда не ценят. Особенно транспорт. В двадцатом веке возмущаются задержками рейсов и ценами на бензин, в восемнадцатом – непроезжими дорогами и разбойниками. ...греки наверняка ругали на чем свет стоит норовистых лошадей и ломающиеся оси колесниц.

&  Уродство всегда уцелевает. Закон природы.

  ... Верити взяла меня за руку.
        – Placet.”

The Sweater People

You're the Worst 2×1

Edgar: Head wigglies?
Jimmy: Head wigglies. When you drink something cold too fast and your head gets all wiggly.
Edgar: You Brits have baby talk for everything. Telly, lorry, willy, nappy, bobby!
Jimmy: Well, you have very silly things in your vocabulary as well.
Edgar: Like what?
Jimmy: "American exceptionalism."

Jimmy: Let's put it to a house vote. On the floor is the question: Should we have a curfew on weeknights? Those in favor?.. Those in opposition?.. Ah. The cold, egalitarian hand of Lady Democracy has triumphed once again. God save the Queen.

Lindsay: You go home tonight and you dress up real slutty, and you do butt stuff with your boyfriend. For all of us who let love die by becoming ordinary. Do it for the sweater people, Gretch. The sweater people.
Gretchen: Wait. You wear sweaters all the time.
Lindsay: It's a metaphor.

Gretchen: Yo Mobile?.. Guys, I have a work number.
Honey Nutz: Uh-uh. Sleepy bitches lose they right to use normal people phones. Sleepy bitches only get to use phones made for hookers and drug addicts and irresponsible garbage people!

Rebecca: I told him everything.

Rebecca: You need to call off that case, you stalking, obsessive, psycho, crazy...
Rebecca: I'm not crazy, I'm not crazy, I'm not crazy. Don't call me crazy!

Paula: Um, okay, so you know our favorite Internet thing?
Rebecca: Celebrities with cellulite that look like kittens with yarn?
Paula: I forgot about that. No, our favorite blog... The Corset.
Rebecca: Feminist news, nail art and more?
Paula: Yes!

Rebecca: From one lawyer to another, someday, future, hopeful lawyer, I want to let you know... It's like if you had spinach in your teeth, I'd tell you, and right now, I want to let you know on a professional level, we have spinach in our case.

Ned: Here is your cap and gown... Congratulations, Heather. Spread your wings. You're about to fly!

Nathaniel: You're an idiot, but... you make a certain kind of sense.

Heather: Oh, God. Do I have to sing an inspirational musical theater song right now?

Rebecca: I have an itemized list
of all the lies right here. Paula: What is that? Is that exhibit "R"?
Rebecca: No. It's exhibits "L" and "D," for Lies and Deception.
Paula: That's... not how we code exhibits.

Heather: Murder my starfish?... I mean, she doesn't have a central nervous system, so it wouldn't hurt, but she does have five eyes that look into my soul...

Rebecca: Can you forward this post to everyone you've ever met in your entire life?

---

Rebecca: Oh, are you all reading it? Yeah. You forwarding it? Are you gramming it, screenshotting it, tweetin' it, sendin' it to friends, group text, all that jazz, yeah?

Josh: Ah, the smells of a man's boyhood... I am that man. And that boy... And I have a hood. God, I love it when sentences work out.

Josh: Guys, you know me. I-I would never do or say these things.
Kevin: I don't know, Josh. It's on the Internet. It's probably true.
Hector: I mean, some of it's true.

Rebecca: It's working!...
Rebecca: Wow, it really is. We're ruining him!
Rebecca: Guess we won.

Josh: I am not the crazy one!

Rebecca: ...And, if I'm gonna be the face of a groundbreaking lawsuit, I mean, I'm gonna need some new feminist nail art, right? .... Okay, so I'm thinking the word "woman" could be spelled out on my fingers, but with, like, a "Y," or maybe just, like, a bunch of unicorns.

Nathaniel: This is more than sex and power. This is something else... Oh, my God, I think I like her.

Darryl: By the way, the reason I was confused earlier is that some of Michael Crichton's books came out after he died. They were published posthumously. After he was a human.

Paula: It's like we never really knew her...

Nathaniel: Well, when you find someone who melts the iceberg that is your heart, you save 'em right back because you want tomorrow to start today forever.

A Monster Calls (2016)

Conor: How does the story begin?
The Monster: It begins like so many stories. With a boy, too old to be a kid. Too young to be a man. And a nightmare...

The Monster: A dream? What is a dream, Conor O'Malley? And who is to say that it is not everything else that is a dream?

Conor: That's a terrible story! And a cheat!
The Monster: It's a true story. Many things that are true feel like a cheat. Kingdoms get the princes they deserve. Farmers' daughters die for no reason. And sometimes witches merit saving. Quite often, actually. You'd be surprised.

Conor: I don't get it. Who's the good guy here?
The Monster: There is not always a good guy, Conor O'Malley. Nor is there always a bad one. Most people are somewhere in between.

The Monster: Stories are wild creatures, Conor O'Malley. When you let them loose, who knows what havoc they might wreak?

The Monster: Belief is half of all healing. Belief in the cure, belief in the future that awaits. Your belief is valuable, so you must be careful where you put it, and in whom.

Dad: I still love her. But, you see, the... Love isn't enough. It doesn't carry you through.
Conor: So, you didn't get happily ever after.
Dad: No, but that's life, you know? Most of us just get messily ever after. That's alright.

Mum: The eyes. The eyes, that's it. Life is always in the eyes. If you get that, you'll be a proper artist.

The Monster: There was once an invisible man, who had grown tired of being unseen. It was not that he was actually invisible. It was just that people had become used to not seeing him. One day, the invisible man couldn't stand it anymore. He kept wondering: If no one sees you, are you really there at all?

The Monster: Speak the truth or you will never leave this place!

Conor: I want it to be over!

The Monster: How can a prince be a murderer and be loved by his people? How can an apothecary be evil-tempered but right-thinking? How can invisible men make themselves more lonely by being seen?
Conor: I don't know. Your stories never made any sense to me.
The Monster: Because humans are complicated beasts. You believe comforting lies while knowing full well the painful truth that makes those lies necessary.

The Monster: In the end, Conor, it is not important what you think. It is only important what you do.
Conor: So what do I do?
The Monster: What you did just now. You speak the truth.
Conor: That's all?
The Monster: You think it's easy? You were willing to die rather than speak it.

Derek

The Good Place 2×7

Michael: I understand the ethics involved, but we need to stop that wedding. We break up Jason and Tahani. Janet stops being sad. Derek goes away.
Chidi: Fine, but... There is something called the Doctrine of Double Effect. In order to remain ethical, you can't just go into this with the intention of killing Derek. Your only goal has to be to spare Jason and Tahani from future pain by filling them in on Jason's past.

Chidi: I know it's tempting to take a short-cut, but moral strength is defined by how we behave in times of stress.
Eleanor: Has anyone ever told you what a drag you are?
Chidi: Everyone. Constantly.

Eleanor: You will feel better after some time goes by.
Janet: I don't really experience the passage of time. I do use it as lotion occasionally.

Michael: Being ethical... it's hard, and I kind of hate it. When's it get easier?

Playing for Time (1980)

Rabbi: Mme. Fénelon your music is the soul of Paris.

Alma: And we must try to please them, Fania...
Fania: I'd prefer to think I'm saving my life rather than trying to please the S.S.
Alma: Do you think you can do one without the other?

Alma: I can not help but strive for the pursuit of perfection, I was trained that way and I can not change now.
Fania: I'm hardly in a position to criticize you, and I'm also trying to please.
Alma: Exactly. But we are artists. They can't take that. There is nothing to be ashamed of.

Shmuel: Don't do that.
Fania: What?!
Shmuel: Turn away. You have to look and see everything! So I can tell them when it's over.
Fania: Who?
Shmuel: ...
Fania: But I am not believe. Why did you pick me?
Shmuel: I always know who to pick... Live!

Commandant Kramer: I must tell you, Fénelon, that I originally objected...
Fania: Excuse me, Herr Commandant. I must tell you, my name is really not Fénelon. My mother's name was Fénelon, my father's name was Goldstein. I'm Fania Goldstein.

Alma: So, why do they resent me? You are professional. You knows that strict discipline is required. A conductor must be respected.
Fania: I think she can be loved too...
Alma: You can not love what you do not respect!

Alma: It is perfectly traditional. In Austria, in Germany, when a musician is repeatedly wrong—
Fania: To slap?
Alma: Yes, of course! Furtwängler did it so frequently that his orchestras idolized him.

Alma: ... Then they arrested me as a Jew. It still astonishes me...
Fania: Because you are so so German?
Alma: Yes, I am. I am.

Alma: In this place, Fania, you will have to be an artist, and only artist! You will have to concentrate on one thing only... And that is to create all the beauty you are capable of creating.

Shmuel: Fania, they are gassing 12,000 each day now. 12,000 angels... fly up every day!
Fania: Why do you keep telling me these things? What do you want from me?
Shmuel: Look with your eyes, the air is full of angels!

Fania: I have no answers anymore, Paulette. I'm living from minute to minute. My heart beats, so I'm alive. But I'm filling up with dust.

Sonya: I don't know what's gonna happen to us, Fania, before the end. I only want one Jewish woman to understand... When I first came here, I was sure that the Pope and the Christian leaders who didn't know, when they found out they would send planes to bomb the fires here and the tracks that bring them in every day. But the trains kept coming and the fires continue burning. Do you understand it? Do you understand?
Fania: May be there is something more important to bomb. What are we here anyway, a lot of women who can not even menstruate...
Sonya: Oh, Fania, forgive me, please!
Fania: You? Why? What did you do to me? Were you in the resistance? Did you try to fight against this? Why do you have to feel guilty?

Fania: It's all a joke. Don't you see? It's meaningless. I'm afraid nothing you could do would have changed that.

Fania: I almost feel pity for person like you more than for us. And you, you will survive. All everyone around you will be in sins, from the one end to the other. And who you will able to talk ever again?

Elzvieta: I'm not on their side. I'm only keeping myself for Jerusalem.
Fania: Good...
Elzvieta: What do you mean by that, Fania?
Fania: I mean, that is good. If you can keep yourself so apart from all this, so clean.
Elzvieta: But we are not responsible for this!
Fania: No, of course not. Nothing here is our fault... All I mean is this, we maybe innocent, but we'e changed. I mean we know a little something about the human race, that we didn't know about before. And it's not good news.
Elzvieta: How can you still call them humans?!
Fania: Then what are they?

Janet and Michael

The Good Place 2×6

Shawn: You just walked in and stole her? It was that easy? You didn't have to choke out an angel or anything?
Michael: Doors were unlocked, no security. I mean, it makes sense, right? They're good, so they're stupid and trusting.

Janet: The neighborhood is in danger of total collapse. Fun fact: mathematically, it's equally likely to either im- or explode.

Michael: Um... Janet, uh... What's a food that people think they enjoy but that's also kind of a bummer?
Janet: Frozen yogurt.

To Josh, With Love.

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend 3×2

Josh: I'm going to be a priest and priests have no guilt, right?

Father Rodrigo: Well... I hope you understand, it's a big commitment. A typical priest's training takes four to six years and involves getting a master's degree in divinity. And you'll have to take a pre-theology class.

Josh: I'm just here to go to priest school.
Father Rodrigo: Preschool?
Josh: Priest school.
Father Rodrigo: Ah, oh, yes, yeah. Yeah, we don't use that term for that exact reason.

Rebecca: Wait, $600-to-$800? That's like a pair of shoes.
Paula: Maybe for you, bitch.

Rebecca: Can we take a quick time-out for some nonjudgmental truth time?

Rebecca: It feels... You know when you eat a whole bag of iced ginger snaps, but then you're like, "What? There's still a hole inside me," so then you move on to shoplifting, and the next thing you know, you're in your dorm, surrounded by unitards and fuzzy pillows from Urban Outfitters and the hole's still there? It feels like that.
Paula: That's why you have so many unitards? I was more of a lipstick and Sambuca shoplifter myself back in the day.

Maya: Did you know that studies show women only orgasm 39% of the time during sex, while men finish 91% of the time?
Tim: That doesn't even make sense. People are orgasming 130% of the time? Uh, check your math.

Nathaniel: We're gonna get that place shut down, and we're gonna get it demolished, so that our client can build their discount wicker lacquered napkin ring, capiz shell chandelier palace.
Rebecca: Nathaniel, we can't do that. I mean, Chae Won...
Nathaniel: Is a loser who doesn't pay our bills.

---

Josh: It's a challenging program, yes. But in four to six years, I'll have my master's, and then there's the postgraduate internship, the Alaskan mission where I shadow a priest in a small fishing village... I'm already taking a super fun pre-theology class. I think there's a few months of silent prayer in there...

White Josh: You just... Father, Son and Holy Ghosted your entire life.

Josh: I've had an apology e-mail to her in my drafts for weeks—

Tim: The G-spot, guys. The G-spot. You just go in, in, in, in, up, up, up, and then back, back, back. That's the spot. That does it every time.

Nathaniel: Well, you do have an unconventional body type.

Rebecca: Uh-uh-uh. Not until the deal is done. I watched Cruel Intentions in the car on the way over here.
Nathaniel: Oh, that is such a good movie.

Nathaniel: Behind this curtain are the most powerful people east of the 5, north of the 10 and some parts of the 2.
Rebecca: So, South Pasadena, basically?

Josh: Dear God, I have to read all this religion and Bible stuff, and I don't understand any of it, and it doesn't interest me at all. No offense, Big Guy. So, when I open my eyes, can I just be a priest, and look cool, and hand out wine and wafers, and not at all feel bad about leaving Rebecca at the altar?... I knew that wasn't gonna work. I'm not Aladdin.

Nathaniel: Your job is critical. You see those three women over there?... You can talk to them about anything, anything at all, except for raising taxes, charter school vouchers and being pro-choice. Can you do that?

Rebecca: Well, that was actually very satisfying.
Nathaniel: Isn't it always?
Rebecca: Only 39% of the time. There's some interesting literature on the subject...

Rebecca: Oh, I feel so much better. I did it. Oh, my God, I told him everything... Oh, my God, I told him everything.

A Stunted Childhood and a Can of Fancy Mixed Nuts

Young Sheldon 2×10

Linda: Ah. You know, I think that brand is the same kind Einstein wore...
Sheldon: Well, I've never seen a picture of his feet. And you're a grown-up, so you wouldn't lie to me. I guess I have no choice but to believe you.

Mary: How do they feel?
Sheldon: My brand loyalty is being severely tested.

Meemaw: How is he ever gonna get through this world?...

Mary: Aw, they're so sweet.
Linda: Yeah, life'll suck that right out of them soon enough...

Dr. Sturgis: It's perfect. I teach you about science so you can impress your grandson, and you teach me to drive so I can impress you.

Connie: Okay, but if we do this, I'm in charge. You have to do what I say when and how I tell you to do it.
Dr. Sturgis: Hubba-hubba, it's like we're back in the bedroom.

Sheldon: Eat outdoors? Do I look like a hippie to you?

Georgie: All right, I'm just gonna come out and ask it: what the heck is a colleague?

Missy: He doesn't know how to have fun; he's an old man.
Sheldon: I'm not an old man.
Missy: Oh, yeah? What's your favorite color?
Sheldon: Khaki.
Missy: Old man.

Paige: You know, I read that adults who had a stunted childhood often become social misfits and weirdos.
Sheldon: You didn't read that, you're making it up like your goat story.
Paige: Psychology Magazine, February issue, 1988.
Sheldon: Well, um... That doesn't make it true.
Paige: Guess you'll find out when you're an adult...
Sheldon: I guess I will.
Adult Sheldon: Well, we know how this story ends. I grew up to become a well-adjusted and charming fellow. But at that moment in time, she had me worried.

Connie: You have to start the car first.

Sheldon: Excuse me, I was hoping to purchase some practical joke paraphernalia so that I may behave childishly.

Sheldon: "If it's funny, it's a Bazinga"... Interesting.

Dr. Sturgis: I don't think I can do this, Connie... it's too much information. I can't process it... Not just the light. There were other cars. There's pedestrians. There was a guy on a bicycle! That's just too many random elements. The-the-the stimuli are overwhelming.

Sheldon: ...Bazinga.
Adult Sheldon: And that's how I became the madcap prankster all my friends know and love.

The First Purge (2018)

Psychologist: "Purge." Interesting term... You may have a chance to purge soon.

Freddy: This is the greatest shit show on Earth. They turning our island into ancient Rome. Our hood into the Colosseum. Now, the question is: Are we gonna be the Christians or the lions? Gladiators or the slaves, right?

Dmitri: I don't like it.
Nya: Why not?
Dmitri: I don't know what it is. When I don't know exactly what something is... I don't trust it. Not one bit.

Nya: The Purge is one day. You, Dmitri, destroy this community 364 days a year.

— This is not a test. This is your Emergency Broadcast System, announcing the commencement of the NFFA Social Experiment on Staten Island, New York. Weapons of class four and lower have been authorized for use during the experiment. All crime, including murder, will be legal for 12 continuous hours. Blessed be our New Founding Fathers and America, a nation reborn. May God be with you all.

Dolores: It tastes like old-man ass. And don't ask me how I know.

Chief of Staff: This country is overpopulated, Doctor. There's too much crime, too much unemployment... And a bankrupt government that can't afford to care for its own citizenry. People don't want us to raise taxes? Our debt has tripled. We can't pay for anything. We, the NFFA... we inherited all this mess. ... We exhausted every possibility. I need for this to work. I need to sell this on a country-wide scale because this is our last hope.

Chief of Staff: Come on. We both know there's... there's no easy answer where somebody... some group doesn't suffer.

Dmitri: See, the NFFA forgot about one thing. They forgot about us. This is our home. So let's show these white-haired motherfuckers never to fuck with our island again.

Dolores: Yo, what the fuck is really going on? I'm confused.

Chief of Staff: I've received word from President Bracken that we're considering a nationwide Purge, uh, as the people are now calling it, uh, as early as next year. One where every U.S. citizen can participate.

The VCR Illumination

The Big Bang Theory 12×10

Sheldon: Nothing? Like what my career has come to? Thanks a lot!

Amy: What are you doing?
Sheldon: Eating, reading, watching television, listening to the radio. What does it look like I'm doing?

Amy: Is that asparagus? I thought you hate asparagus.
Sheldon: I thought so, too, but I also thought super-asymmetry was a good idea, so what else am I wrong about?
Amy: Oh, so now you're reevaluating every opinion you've ever had?
Sheldon: I am following the example of 17th century philosopher René Descartes. He subjected all his beliefs to radical doubt so that he could build a bedrock belief and build his cognitive life back up on firm principles.

Sheldon: I've always thought I hated jazz, maybe I was wrong. Maybe it's great to hear all the notes at once..... I'm trying, I'm really trying!

Penny: Have you tried making him a cup of tea?
Amy: He's reevaluated tea. Now he thinks it's nothing but leaf soup.

Amy: "Fine with flags"?

Amy: It is the emergency pep talk you made when you were a kid.

Young Sheldon: Sheldon, never forget, no matter how bad things seem, you can al...

Amy: Is there anything I can do?
Sheldon: Yes! You can build me a time machine so I can go back and tell my younger self to give up, because nothing's gonna work out the way he wants!
Amy: .... I was thinking a nice cup of leaf soup...

Bernadette: I now present The Great Howdini!

Bernadette: Why didn't you say something earlier?
Howard: You seemed like you were so happy, and then when I tried to say something... you seemed like you were so mad.

Bernadette: Hey, this isn't about me. I just wanted you to have your dream, and I wanted to control everything about how you looked and acted so that your victory was mine.

George: We're not gonna quit... And if we do lose, you need to know that doesn't make you losers. You learn as much about who you are and what you're made of from failing as you do from success. Maybe more...

Sheldon: I've been acting like the game is over, but it's only halftime. And there's a lot more physics left to play.
Amy: Wow, was that your first ever sports metaphor?

Sheldon: Thanks, Dad. We're gonna give them hell.

Терри Пратчетт — Понюшка (5/5)

<< Ранее

&  ...река ... не видела смысла в суете. В конце концов, она состоит из воды, а всем известно, что вода все помнит. Она знает в чем смысл: ты испаряешься, кружишь в небе в каком-нибудь облаке, пока нечто не организует все как надо, и потом ты выпадаешь в виде дождя вниз. И так все время. Так что спешить некуда. После твоего первого в жизни всплеска все остальное ты уже видел.

&  Университетская улица подсказывает, что драка – это наука. Наука как удержать оппонента подальше от вашего лица и опустить его самого лицом в землю с максимальной скоростью, затратив не это минимум усилий. После чего, разумеется, у вас появится масса приятных возможностей и, если хорошенько подумать, радужных перспектив. Но если решили драться честно, или просто немного честнее, чем другие уличные зачинщики, тогда вам нужно знать, как бить, куда бить и под каким именно углом. «Разумеется, приличный бронзовый кастет не помешает» – подумал Ваймс, разминая пальцы, чтобы восстановить кровообращение...

&  – Рад познакомиться, сэр Самуэль! Прошу простить за мой вид. Мы трудились всю ночь. По-настоящему срочная работа. Можно сказать, нужда заставит, если лорд Ветинари попросит.

&  А все потому, что страшная правда такова: никто не любит быть на проигравшей стороне.

&  ...раздувался от счастья словно свинья-копилка, набитая монетами.

&  – Закон един для всех, и нет нужды его обходить. А если кто-то обходится без него, то нужно браться за оружие. Ясно?

  ... Название новой книги было «Гордыня и жуткая предвзятость».”

Jesse Stone: Well, I'm just a small town cop. Mostly I give out parking tickets.

Rose Gammon: He wants to know how you know.
Jesse Stone: I'm the Police Chief. I know everything.

Hilda Evans: Brahms. When I'm feeling troubled, I sit in my favorite chair, put my head back and listen to Brahms. I find it comforting.

Dr. Dix: If you've got nothing to do, pal, find something to do. If it's not important, make it important.

Jesse Stone: So, how are you doing, Hasty?
Hasty Hathaway: You don't say "How are you doing?" to a convict.
Jesse Stone: Okay. How's it going?

Luther 'Suitcase' Simpson: I'll have a cappuccino.

Sybil Martin: You married Jesse?
Jesse Stone: Sort of.
Sybil Martin: Sort of?
Jesse Stone: Every place but in my mind.

Luther 'Suitcase' Simpson: What about the bank case?
Jesse Stone: I don't have a clue. I think I'm throwing stuff against a wall to see if anything sticks.
Luther 'Suitcase' Simpson: Well, isn't that what cops do? You stirring the pot?
Jesse Stone: Oh, yeah.

Cathleen Holton: You don't think what he did was wrong?
Jesse Stone: It was wrong. But it wasn't illegal.

Jesse Stone: You know, you live long enough, you have regrets. And the ones that nag at you the most are the ones where you knew you had a choice. The ones where you knew you could have stopped yourself. The ones where you looked into the mirror and everything good inside you said, "Don't do this."

Leeann Lewis: You know, I wasn't being entirely honest with you the other day.
Jesse Stone: I know.
Leeann Lewis: How do you know?
Jesse Stone: I'm a cop. I'm good at what I do.

Pickle Rick

Rick and Morty 3x3

Rick: Hey, Morty?!
Morty: Rick? Are you far away, or are you inside something?

Morty: Is this a camera? Is everything a camera?

Morty: Rick? W-where are you?
Rick: On my work bench, Morty.
Morty: Are you invisible and you're gonna, like, fart on me?
Rick: Flip the pickle over.
Morty: What, I'm gonna touch it, and you're gonna tell me it's an alien dick or something.

Rick: I turned myself into a pickle, Morty!
Morty: And?
Rick: And? What more do you want tacked on to this? I turned myself into a pickle, and 9/11 was an inside job.
Morty: Was it?
Rick: Who cares, Morty? Global acts of terrorism happen every day. Uh, here's something that's never happened before... I'm a pickle. I'm Pickle Rick!

Rick: I don't do magic, Morty, I do science. One takes brains, the other takes dark eye liner.

Rick: Morty, stop digging for hidden layers and just be impressed. I'm a pickle.

Rick: The reason anyone would do this is, if they could, which they can't, would be because they could, which they can't.

Rick: Okay, I may have [bleep] up here. Dup, ap, ap, pap, ut, dah, pap, pap, pap, pah... T-t-tah, tah.

Rick: Izzy, I'm not a snake! I've seen the YouTube videos, I know cats are scared of cucumbers and pickles because they think they're snakes. I'm not a snake! I'm a pickle, I'm a pickle!

Rick: This can't really be the way I go out. This is the mega-genius equivalent of dying on the toilet.

Agency Director: Farewell, Solen'ya.

Jaguar: Pickle Man, it's too late for me to tell my daughter I love her, but not for you.
Rick: Oh, well, uh, she knows. I mean, we don't really buy into that kind of crap, to the extent that love is an expression of familiarity over time, my access to infinite timelines precludes the necessity of attachment. In fact, I even abandoned one of my infinite daughters in an alternate version of earth that was taken over by mutants.
Jaguar: Okay. Good luck with that.

Dr. Wong: Why didn't you want to come here?
Rick: Because I don't respect therapy, because I'm a scientist. Because I invent, transform, create, and destroy for a living, and when I don't like something about the world, I change it. And I don't think going to a rented office in a strip mall to listen to some agent of averageness explain which words mean which feelings has ever helped anyone do anything. I think it's helped a lot of people get comfortable and stop panicking, which is a state of mind we value in the animals we eat, but not something I want for myself. I'm not a cow. I'm a pickle... When I feel like it. So... you asked.

Dr. Wong: I have no doubt that you would be bored senseless by therapy, the same way I'm bored when I brush my teeth and wipe my ass. Because the thing about repairing, maintaining, and cleaning is it's not an adventure. There's no way to do it so wrong you might die. It's just work. And the bottom line is, some people are okay going to work, and some people... well, some people would rather die. Each of us gets to choose.
