Thunder Force (2021)

Lydia Berman: Do you wanna hang out after school?
Emily Stanton: Sure.
Lydia Berman: What do you like to do?
Emily Stanton: Read.
Lydia Berman: ..... Oh. You weren't kidding. Okay.

Frank: Maybe Emily will say no, but you don't know unless you ask... You know, it's like trying to skip a rock in a lake. You know the lake's gonna eat it. It took you half an hour to find the right flat rock, but you gotta throw it. Otherwise, you're not gonna know if it's gonna skip. But sure enough, you throw the rock, zing, it goes right into the water. Okay, let's go underwater. There's a big salmon swimming by. The rock flies in, beans the salmon in the head. Dead as a doornail. Floats to the top.
Lydia Berman: Jesus.
Frank: That's not the worst of it.
Lydia Berman: Is there more?
Frank: The salmon's a female. Loaded with little eggs. Just like the Titanic, they're all dead.
Lydia Berman: In this, am I the rock, or who's the... In this situation?
Frank: You could be the rock, you could be the fish, you could be the thrower of the stone. You could be the lake.
Lydia Berman: Okay.
Frank: Food for thought. Or not.

Lydia Berman: Whoa. This looks like the jail cell on Battlestar Galactica.

Lydia Berman: I'm sorry. This bird is just so good. It's so good...
Emily Stanton: Oh my god, I've created a raw chicken monster.
Lydia Berman: Mwah! It's delicious. My compliments to whoever didn't cook it.
Emily Stanton: Can't unsee that.

Lydia Berman: Here we go. Crater Joe. Uh, Flapjack Crackers. Thunder Force... Mango flops! Did I just do it? Yeah.
Emily Stanton: Mango Flops?
Lydia Berman: What? No. Thunder Force.
Emily Stanton: That sounds kind of dude-ish.
Lydia Berman: Everything sounds stupid the first time you hear it.

Lydia Berman: Can I say something?
Emily Stanton: Absolutely not.
Lydia Berman: This car makes me ovulate. I wanna have shiny, purple Lamborghini babies.
Emily Stanton: I knew I didn't wanna hear it.

The Crab: What's our next move?
The King: Well, as I like to say, when life gives you lemons, make… lemon-flavored napalm.

The Crab: What are you doin'?
Lydia Berman: I'm just butterin' your knuckle...

Tracy: Can you read me?
Lydia Berman: Hammer down.
Tracy: What does that mean?
Lydia Berman: It's lingo for "Yep."

Σ pita4og: «главная проблема - сценарий: прямой как палка и без интриги. Шутки неудачные, местами даже противные. Актрисы няши, я их люблю, но положения это не спасает.»

Σ nostradamvs: «Глупая, но местами довольно-таки смешная комедия о том, как две толстые тётки средних лет обрели суперспособности и стали супергероями. Если вы фанат Мелиссы Маккарти, фильм для вас. Если нет, посмотрите что-нибудь другое.»

A Black Hole

Young Sheldon 4×17

Connie: So how's everything going with your supercollider?
Dr. Sturgis: Well, up until Wednesday at 6:43, wonderful.
Connie: What happened at 6:43?
Dr. Sturgis: That's when they fired me.
Connie: What? Why did they fire you?
Dr. Sturgis: Eh, probably because of what happened at 6:14.

President Hagemeyer: Sheldon, Dr. Sturgis quit right before the semester started. He left me in the lurch.
Sheldon: And this is your chance to be the bigger person.
President Hagemeyer: I don't want to be the bigger person. I'll be the small, petty person. That's way more fun.
Sheldon: Please? It would make me really happy if he came back. And you said yourself my happiness is important to the university...
President Hagemeyer: Are you trying to manipulate me?
Sheldon: Hey, being small and petty is fun.

Mary: At least he didn't seem unstable when I talked to him.
Connie: The man has a doctorate in science, and he's filling people's grocery bags...
Mary: He actually did a really nice job. He put the heavy things on the bottom. He kept the cold things together.

Mary: ... He is also coming over for dinner, so behave yourself.
Missy: I can behave at school or I can behave at home. I can't do both.

Dr. Sturgis: The truth is, if I could live in an alternate universe, I'd live in one where we never broke up. Hope it's okay to say that.
Connie: It is. Because I wish it, too.

Meemaw: Wait, what's an "event horizon"?
Sheldon: It just means the edge.
Meemaw: Why not say "the edge"?
Georgie: The guitar player for U2 is called the Edge.
George: What does that have to do with anything?
Georgie: I'm participating in the conversation. You're just sitting there like a lump.

Джеффри Линдсей — Дремлющий демон Декстера

Декстер — 1

  “Луна. Сияющая луна. Полная, толстая, красная луна; ночь светла, как день, лунный свет льется на землю, неся радость, радость, радость. ...

&  — Кто вы такой?
     — Начало. И конец. Познакомься со своей смертью.

&  Чистоплотность требует времени, но стоит его. ... Стоит просто для того, чтобы делать все правильно и аккуратно.

&  Дети. За это его стоило убить дважды.
     Что бы ни сделало меня тем, кто я есть, оно опустошило меня, лишило чувств. Не считаю это таким уж крутым делом. Уверен, что подавляющее большинство ежедневных человеческих контактов притворные. Я притворен просто всегда. Я классно притворяюсь, полное отсутствие чувств.
     Но я люблю детишек. У меня их никогда не будет — ... Но дети, дети — это особое.

&  Такое бывает: некомпетентности чаще воздается, чем наоборот.

&  Каждый способен добиться расположения, если только не брезговать лукавством, если все время говорить тупые, банальные, вызывающие тошноту слова, те, которые обычно человеку не дает произносить совесть. К счастью, у меня совести нет.

Nest Box

Ozark 1×7

Jonah Byrde: Can I kill starlings?
Wendy Byrde: What?!
Jonah Byrde: If I get a hunting license this semester?
Wendy Byrde: Honey, I don't want you shooting anything.
Jonah Byrde: You're supposed to kill starlings. They're invaders. They steal nests and peck unhatched eggs. ... If you kill one female, you've stopped the production of 11 birds.

Wendy Byrde: It looks like a zombie mermaid pissing in the ocean.

Ms. Mott: This pledge is a particularly important commitment, because drugs are the most destructive force affecting America today. You can sign your papers now. Signing this is essential in early adolescence, since we're developing and cementing our personal moral code while peer pressure is at its peak... Oh, Jonah, you haven't signed?
Jonah Byrde: Can I think about it?
Ms. Mott: What could you possibly have to think about?
Jonah Byrde: Well, it... It's complicated. I mean, the economics of it all.
Ms. Mott: Um, I need the paper, Jonah. Signed.
Jonah Byrde: You wouldn't want me to sign something I don't completely believe in, would you?..
Ms. Mott: Quiet! Uh, you don't think it's important to say no to drugs and alcohol?
Jonah Byrde: Well, it's just not that simple.
Ms. Mott: How is it not that simple? Drugs are addictive. They cause crime and death.
Jonah Byrde: And they also prop up the US economy...
Ms. Mott: I said quiet! What are you talking about?
Jonah Byrde: Are you familiar with gross domestic product? It's the total of all the money spent...
Ms. Mott: I know what gross domestic product is.
Jonah Byrde: I mean, I'd definitely sign something that says, "It'd be great if people didn't get addicted to drugs." But... people are addicted to drugs. And in order to get the drugs, they have to buy them, right? And that drug dealer has to feed his family. They're innocent. They can't starve, can they?
Ms. Mott: Jonah, how about we just...
Jonah Byrde: They need a house and clothes. And the family needs a car. There's even this theory that says drug money was the only thing that prevented the collapse of the global economy in 2008. You know, when real estate went bust. Because drug money was the only cash available to prop up big banks. Not to mention the 350 million narco-dollars that paid for bridges and roads and health care... probably even education. Maybe even part of this school.

Martin 'Marty' Byrde: It all comes down to safety and trust. 'Cause we're constantly getting sold to or advertised to or... or promised to. Um, I think half the reason that we cave sometimes is 'cause we have no idea what the other person's saying, right? Take your car to a mechanic, you pray to God what he's telling you is the truth. It's crazy.
Eugenia Dermody: So what are you sellin' me?

Martin 'Marty' Byrde: You know, I'm... I'm not begging for your business. I would... I would love to have it. However, if you would feel more comfortable with your current manager, I'd recommend that you do that. 'Cause, as... as I was saying, I think that the most important thing, when it comes to your money, is feeling safe.

Charlotte Byrde: Well, where are your friends? What do you tell them?
Wendy Byrde: I tell them what I believe to be true. That this is a family sabbatical. Return to simplicity.

Wendy Byrde: We are way past any point of assimilation here. We took her life away. Everything she thought was safe is a lie.
Martin 'Marty' Byrde: We'll look deeper for what's here.
Wendy Byrde: I know what's here. Trust me. It's the shit you run away from. It's pickups and warm beer and low expectations. It's grown men with bourbon on their breath, who lean in a little too close and say, "My, how you've grown."

Wendy Byrde: You shut me out the minute we decided to launder the stupid fucking money.
Martin 'Marty' Byrde: Well, maybe I was trying to protect you.
Wendy Byrde: I didn't want protection! I wanted you. I wanted you, you idiot... Why do you even want me here?
Martin 'Marty' Byrde: Necessity. Not desire.

Wendy Byrde: All right, Marty. Why don't you just tell me the fuckin' truth? Just tell me the truth.
Martin 'Marty' Byrde: .... Oh, you broke my heart, Wendy.

Prison Guard: Don't kill him.

Rodion: Why are you here?
Malotru: Opposition.
Rodion: We're all here for "opposition"... As far as I'm concerned, until proven otherwise, you're a pedophile.

Jean-Paul: A real Buddha.
Jonas: Buddha with a tie.

Jonas: He wears his watch on the right.
Jean-Paul: Maybe it's the Iraqi way.
Jonas: You know how you cross your fingers, so your promise won't count? It's called "taqiya". Denial. Same thing. A watch on the right means you turn your back to the left. To the West. To the infidels... You can say Allah doesn't exist and deny your faith. It doesn't count. Allah won't blame you.

Nightshade

The Handmaid's Tale 4×2

Brianna: I don't want to fight.
June: None of us wanted to. At first.

Rita: Well, Luke asked me, so I couldn't say no.
Moira: Sure you could. "Free" means you're free to say no.

June: Mayday should do something.
Daisy: You really think that Mayday would liberate this place? I fucking gave up on that a long time ago.
June: Hey, it isn't an army. We are Mayday. They're people just like us.

June: I think these women deserve to be free.
Alma: Is that it? Or do you just want to kill a bunch of Commanders?
June: Both.

June: I can't not do this, Alma.
Alma: So, you're just gonna Rambo in there and shoot the place up? Get yourself killed or caught? June: Yeah, that's exactly what I'm gonna do.

Esther: He's not a good man. Maybe there are no good men in Gilead.
June: I think there are good men everywhere. Even here. It's just complicated, you know? Gilead makes it really hard to be good.

Serena: You know, I thought that once you were out of Gilead, once you were out of that uniform, that you would come back to yourself.
Waterford: I am as you made me. As you made us.
Serena: As I have made us? Fred, you never once stood up for me. Not once! Not once you got a taste of power! I thought that was my fault! I thought that I deserved everything that you did to me!
Waterford: You know, I... I think I gave you too much freedom...

Moira: The kid's fucked up. He misses Gilead.
Emily: Like you said, better that they're here than there.
Moira: Eventually. I mean, right now it sucks for a lot of them. The ones that got ripped from the only families they remember.
Emily: I guess June didn't think that part through.
Moira: 'Cause that's what she does. Takes the big swing, and fuck the consequences!

Daisy: I don't think I can do this.
June: I do. We're the ones we've been waiting for. It's what my mom used to say.

Nick: I'm trying to keep you alive.

The One with All the Kissing

Friends 5×2

Monica: What took so long?
Chandler: I got caught up at work. But I'm quitting tomorrow.

Rachel: What the hell was that?
Monica: Probably some European goodbye thing he picked up in London...
Rachel: That's not European.
Phoebe: It felt French...

Rachel: What's that?
Ross: It came in the mail today. It's 72 long-stemmed, red roses. One for each day I've known and loved Emily... cut up into mulch.

Rachel: Hold on a sec there, Mr. Kissy. I wanted to talk to you about... this whole new European thing you've got going on. And I need to say it makes me very uncomfortable... and I just, you know, just stop it!
Chandler: Just bringing some culture to the group...
Rachel: That's fine. Just don't bring it in my mouth.
Monica: It makes me want to puke.

Phoebe: Ooh, Atlantic City! Oh, that's a great plan! Whose plan was that?
Joey: Mine!
Ross: Wait. It was my plan.
Joey: No... I said we needed a new plan.
Ross: And I came up with Atlantic City.
Joey: Which is the new plan.

Rachel: Oh, God. Things won't be weird between us, right? Was that stupid? Me telling you that?
Ross: No, no. I'm glad you did. If nothing else... it's always great when someone tells you they love you.
Rachel: That's what I said!

Joey: Uh, Pheebs, you're leaking.

Chandler: I had to kiss Phoebe and Rachel every time I left the room. It's too bad they didn't see us having sex...
Monica: Do you know anything about women?
Chandler: No.
Monica: ... It's all right.

Liz Bernstein: What a choice.

Marie-Jeanne: Debailly won't surrender to the Russians.
César: Does he have a choice?
Marie-Jeanne: He'd rather die.
Ponte: Maybe the idea of a quiet life in a dacha appeals to him, in exchange for collaborating with the FSB.
César: The FSB rarely buys dachas. Pressure is much cheaper.
Marie-Jeanne: I doubt it'll work on Malotru. He was jailed by Isis.
César: I think the FSB may be worse than Isis.

Liz Bernstein: Working in security... means protecting people. I must uncover people's weaknesses, to see if someone could exploit them. I'd rather find their qualities, but I'm not in HR. I work for the DSec.
Sisteron: What's my weakness?
Liz Bernstein: It's also a quality. You empathize with people.

Waterford: Offred. They're gonna find her. And they're gonna kill her.
Serena: May God show her mercy.

Commander Putnam: Aunt Lydia, you've spent two weeks being interviewed by the Eyes.
Aunt Lydia: Nineteen days... The interview, Commander. It was a bit more than two weeks.

Aunt Lydia: [Handmaids...] More misled than sinful, in this case... They were led astray by a gifted and amoral liar. A Delilah. When she is hanging on the wall, justice will be done.
Commander Putnam: Ofjoseph...
Aunt Lydia: She has eluded your soldiers for 19 days. She's out there planning who knows what kind of atrocities to visit upon our righteous nation. Pray, gentlemen. Find her. And bring her to me. And a frail woman will sleep better at night... I leave you to your work.

June: Pain makes your world very small.

June: Gilead is out there. Gilead isn't afraid. It does not hurt or sleep. It keeps coming, it keeps searching for us. And they will keep coming forever and ever and ever.

June: God, it's not fair. Someone your age should never need to be this brave.
Mrs. Esther Keyes: I'm the mistress of this house!
June: Yes, you are. Ma'am.
Mrs. Esther Keyes: And if you weren't going to fight, then why did you come here? You should have just let them catch you.

Nick: Blessed day, Commander.
Commander Lawrence: Not from where I sit.

Commander Lawrence: Was there a trial?
Nick: Yes, sir.
Commander Lawrence: How did I do?
Nick: I'm here to thank you for your service to Gilead.
Commander Lawrence: That good, huh?

June: You know what I think? I think God... is just. And I think that He is gonna make those men pay. Uh-huh. For what they did to you.

June: Alma. We are not free.
Alma: Maybe this is as free as we're gonna get. Maybe we should make the best of it.

Nick: Some men need to be led.
Commander Lawrence: The Tao of June Osborn...

June: Girls. This man betrayed his own country, the United States. He's a traitor. And this man... raped a child. Repeatedly. The punishment for these crimes... is death.

June: You were right. We're Mayday. We don't hide. We fight. And in this place, we all fight.

June: Good girl. Make me proud.
Esther: I will.

The Holding

Fear the Walking Dead 6×11

Teddy: Death. Destruction. Decay. What is happening to the world isn't new. The world's been breaking down since its inception. The sun spending its nuclear fuel. The planet spinning farther and farther off its axis. The continents drifting apart. Ice sheets receding and melting. Forests withering and burning. Everything's winding down, including us. Death is inevitable. It simply is. But from this death... comes new life. Our decaying bodies feed the soil, and the soil, in turn, feeds the plants. And the plants, in turn, feed us and all the creatures that sustain us. It's the way it's always been. It's the way it always will be.
     People look around the world up there and see death everywhere they gaze. But that's not what's really there. If they looked hard enough, if they truly looked with open eyes, they would see life. But it's not their fault they don't know how to open their eyes. It's not their fault... They're seeing the way they always have. Even after it all. Even though now is the "after."
     We know the truth. They don't. We can see. They can't. So, it's incumbent upon us to help them be unafraid of what's to come.
     Do you know the truth? Can you see? Can you help them be unafraid?

Riley: Welcome to The Holding. I think you're gonna like it here.

Teddy: If you cannot see, I will guide you. When you cannot walk, I will carry you.

Teddy: I have found you, and I will help you see the truth.

Riley: You know, I'm more interested in what you have to say. There's one question in particular that, uh, I'd like to ask.
Alicia: What is it?
Riley: Can you see?

Riley: You're a skeptic. We like skeptics.
Luciana: Why's that?
Riley: Because when we win you over, it means that you're a true believer.

Teddy: Who am I if not your shepherd? Who are you if not my sheep?

Teddy: ...but I will shear the matted fur from your brow and help you to see. And if you still won't open your eyes, I will open them for you. I will make you see.

Teddy: I will take your hand and lead you through the fire, through the desert, through the dark tunnel of destruction...

Luciana: When people are desperate, they start believing in things... They start doing things they never thought they would.

Derek: It takes a little while to get used to not knowing if it's day or night, but, uh, the food makes up for it?

Derek: We have to start over. And we can't do that till everyone and everything up there is gone.

Alicia: So, you're the... King of the Crazies.

<< Середина

&  — Благодарю Тебя, Царь живой и явный, за то, что милосердно возвратил мне душу мою. Велика вера Твоя…

&  — Теория, все дело в теории… Видите ли, камрад Игаль, анархия предполагает естественную свободу человека. Человека, освобожденного от тяжкого ига духовных и материальных правителей. Поэтому анархисты не занимаются строительством нового удушающего общества. Штирнер, а за ним Ницше решительно отрицали, что смысл существования лежит вне нас, в каких-то воображаемых идеальных сущностях — в Боге, в универсальном законе, в абстрактной справедливости. Почему бы не отбросить, наконец, все эти алчущие человеческую плоть идеалы? Почему бы не строить свое дело на себе самом?
     — Не знаю. Как-то не думал об этом.
     — Ну вот, а Андре Клещев думал. И получалось, что евреи представляют прямо противоположную точку зрения. Евреи, камрад Игаль, вечно ищут источник смысла вне собственной души. Им вечно подавай или единого непознаваемого Бога, или всеобщий закон, или светлое будущее. И если бы они еще только сами себя обманывали… Так ведь нет — им непременно надобно все человечество объегорить. Поэтому Андре ненавидел евреев смертной ненавистью. Умберто пишет, что он готов был умереть в обмен на их полное истребление.

&  Мужчины ведь, в сущности, простые коняги. Главное — вовремя взять их под уздцы и, тихонько поглаживая, вести куда надо, заботясь лишь о том, чтобы узду не перехватила чья-то чужая рука.

  ... Доктор Островски закрыл глаза и задремал, предварительно вызвав в памяти щемящую картину голой Нины Брандт, открывающей дверь кабинки гостиничного душа.”

Moscow... is where I'd go. It's huge. It's a beehive. I'd be invisible. All communication methods are possible. We basically have no chance of finding him. And he knows it. If we find him, he thinks we won't dare do anything... He ought to know me better.

Marie-Jeanne: Who's your real target?

<< Начало

&  Это ведь только женщины — существа без недостатков, а вот с несовершенством мужчин приходится мириться, увы, сплошь и рядом…

&  Как и большинство людей, построивших жизнь и карьеру на цинизме, она не любила циников — ведь, как ни крути, конкуренцию ей составляли именно они, а не увешанные тяжкой броней принципов интеллигенты, которые каменеют от удивления, получив внезапный плевок в лицо или запрещенный правилами удар в пах.

&  Приятно иметь дело со сверстником: этот простейший вид равенства всегда порождает дополнительное доверие.

&  Настоящий переворот в жизни Нины Брандт случился после армии, когда психоаналитик, к которому она пришла по рекомендации подруги, посоветовал ей немедленно перестать винить себя.
     — Но я и не виню, — смущенно отвечала Нина. — В чем винить-то?
     — Пока еще не в чем, но в будущем причина непременно найдется, — успокоил специалист. — Так вот, на этот случай запомни раз и навсегда: виновата не ты. Виноват кибуц с его тоталитарной уравниловкой. Виновата семья, которая мало тебя любила. Виновата мать, которая редко тебя обнимала. Виновата школа, которая втискивала тебя в общий шаблон. Виновата армия, которая заставила тебя ходить строем. Ты собираешься замуж?
     — Пока нет…
     — Виноват муж, которого пока нет. Виноваты дети, которые будут сосать из тебя все соки… И так далее. Забудь о своей вине, ты никому ничего не должна, кроме себя самой. Ищи себя и найди то, что тебе нравится. Найди то, о чем сможешь сказать: «Вот это — Я! Все прочее — не Я, а это — Я!» Понятно?

&  — Бразильцы играют лучше. Но разве мы болеем за тех, кто лучше? Мы болеем за тех, кто ближе.

Ozark 1×6

Jacob Snell: Welcome to our home, Martin Byrde. In 1929... power company stole our land, flooded us out. Snells fled up the mountains, and started all over again. Trouble is, ain't much grows up here. Doesn't matter how much you turn the soil. It's the water. So the crop had to change. Do you know what'll grow almost anywhere the sun shine, Martin?... Let me tell you. Poppies. Sandy soil and drought, they don't care. But then, you came along...

Martin 'Marty' Byrde: I mean, what the fuck kind of place is this? You know? Those people? They're gonna cut a human out of another human?!

Cade Langmore: You're the smartest person this side of the Mississippi. Anything you don't know yet, you'll figure.
Ruth Langmore: It's just, I don't... I...
Cade Langmore: It's just what? Just you never done it before? Huh. First times can be fun, you know. There's a... tingle that happens right before you do it. Do you ever watch those nature shows? The cheetahs and the gazelles and... It's natural selection, Ruth. A moron's a different species than you and me. We got a right to take 'em out. This guy... he's a downright numbskull for leaving that shit under his bed to begin with. You agree?

Cade Langmore: A lot of accidents happen on the lake. Look for opportunity. Find the scenario you can control... and you do what nature intended.

Wyatt Langmore: You know, they always leave, Charlotte. That's the difference between us and them. And you... guess you're one of us now.

A Second Prodigy and the Hottest Tips for Pouty Lips

Young Sheldon 4×16

Sheldon: But you don't need another child prodigy. You've already got me.
President Hagemeyer: And you have been... so great. Just imagine what it'd be like having two of you.
Sheldon: Well, why would you want two of me? I mean, I've heard even one of me is a lot to handle.
President Hagemeyer: Well, you're not afraid of a little competition, are you?...

Sheldon: I should warn you, Paige can be very difficult.
President Hagemeyer: Well, luckily I've had some practice with that lately.
Sheldon: And how do you handle it?
President Hagemeyer: Usually I, uh, play to their egos. You know, make them feel like the smartest person in the room.
Sheldon: And they fall for that?
President Hagemeyer: Well... not everyone's as smart as you, Sheldon.

Mary: Look at me and tell me what you see.
George: What? Did you get a haircut? Looks great.
Mary: No, I didn't get a haircut.
George: 'Cause you don't need one. Looking good, babe.
Mary: Lord. Just tell me what you see when you look at me.
George: I don't know what's going on, but this feels like a trap.
Mary: I went to the salon to get a haircut.
George: Knew it, looking foxy.
Mary: But I didn't get one because I don't know what I want.
George: Oh.

Sheldon: I'm afraid we have a bigger problem.
Paige: What are you talking about?
Sheldon: I'm a scientist, and I have to follow the data wherever it leads, whether I like it or not.
Paige: Get to the point.
Sheldon: It seems I have a crush on you.
Paige: What?!
Sheldon: I'm as surprised as you are. But I have all the symptoms according to both Dr. Sturgis and the editors of Sassy magazine.

Sheldon: What are you doing?
Paige: We have a crush on each other.
Sheldon: So?
Paige: Well, now we have to kiss.
Sheldon: We do?
Paige: I mean, it's where the data has led us.
Sheldon: I suppose.
Paige: Okay. Now close your eyes and pucker up. This might tickle...

Алекс Тарн — Шабатон

  “Нужная кнопка не работала — Игаль выяснил это уже после того, как створки лифта закрылись, и вошедшие вместе с ним стали поочередно тыкать указательным пальцем в панель управления, словно обвиняя ее в чем-то недопустимом. ...

&  В принципе, можно было махнуть в какой-нибудь из престижных университетов в Англии или за океаном, ... но сын как раз ушел в армию, в боевую пехоту, и Игалю с женой не хотелось оставлять парня одного на попечение бабушки, которая и сама, честно говоря, нуждалась в некотором присмотре. Кто будет встречать солдата в дни отпусков, кормить домашним обедом, стирать форму, пропахшую родным потом и армейским бытом? Кто будет ревностно отслеживать выпуски новостей, ловить слухи и перезваниваться с мамами сыновних сослуживцев? Кто будет бодрствовать по ночам, охраняя мальчика родительской молитвой?

&  Ничто так не способствует разгулу воображения, как запрет думать о чем-то.

&  — Мне иногда кажется, что свобода — химическое вещество, гормон типа адреналина или тестостерона. Ее выплеск просвечивает суть человека лучше любого рентгена, и эта суть далеко не всегда привлекательна. Посмотри, сколько здесь ревности, эгоизма, тщеславия, низменной жадности. Посмотри, как они толкают друг друга локтями, как ходят по головам своих же друзей и союзников…

&  — Беды, как волчья стая: сбегаются на запах страха. Стоит тебе провонять этой гадостью, и всё — пиши пропало, набросятся скопом, да и сожрут с потрохами.

&  Дело именно в этом — в спокойствии материала души, в чувстве равновесия, в сознании внутренней прочности и сопротивляемости на излом. Потому что сомнение — та же трещина, а неопределенность — тот же скрытый дефект.

&  Пузырь со сливками — всего лишь пузырь, даже когда имеются в виду сливки общества.

&  — Прекрасная страна! Жаль, что католиков там не особенно привечают.
     — У нас очень сильная и очень злая память, — с вызовом отвечал доктор Островски...
     — И вас можно понять, — подхватил историк. — Только поэтому вы еще существуете как народ, в отличие от иберов, аланов, вандалов, визиготов и многих других, от кого и следа не осталось.

Le Bureau des Légendes #3.10

Sisteron: Why?
Céline: Are you cleared to know?... So why did you ask?

Céline: The Turks will hit Jarabulus, with the Syrian rebels. We can't piss off the Turks, so we're dropping the Kurds, for now.
Sisteron: What does that mean?
Céline: We're disengaging. Leaving the hotspots... And asking our Turkish friends to show restraint.
Sisteron: Restraint in what way?
Céline: Not to massacre the Kurds.
Sisteron: The Kurds have been prepping to take Jarabulus for ages. We've helped them.
Céline: That's what "dropping the Kurds" means.

Marie-Jeanne: Save your breath. Celine already begged me to get her out.
Sisteron: Why can't we?
Marie-Jeanne: We need her there, to keep us informed.
Sisteron: We could lose her. They'll be bombed.
Marie-Jeanne: She's a soldier in a warzone. She's aware of the risk.
Sisteron: She's a precious asset we should protect. Our mission isn't to save our sources when things change. It isn't?
Marie-Jeanne: No. Our mission is to gather intel.

Marie-Jeanne: Guillaume Debailly is a smart man. He knows this must stay in the family. Or he'd be in Moscow with Snowden. He knows we won't launch an official manhunt.
Chehlaoui: So, we forget him? He won't try to harm us?
Marie-Jeanne: I'm positive he won't. He won't harm us. He won't talk. We certainly could forget about him. He'd disappear into the fog. We'd never hear of him again. Neither one of us.
Chehlaoui: Is that what you're suggesting?
Marie-Jeanne: No. I don't intend to forget him.

Malotru: Why can't I talk to you?
Le père Malotru: That's not what fathers are for.

Marie-Jeanne: Here's our code specialist! Our expert on train lingo.
Simon: Can I help you?
Marie-Jeanne: I hope so. I doubt it. But it's worth a try.

Handle with Care

Fear the Walking Dead 6×10

Daniel: Beach ball. Elephant. Grape. Should I go on?

Daniel: You asked how I felt when the day began. I felt... hopeful.

Daniel: Some lies are worth the cost.

Morgan: We should try and work together... share information... pool resources... put our differences aside. Can we face this thing that threatens all of us?... Only one rule, and it's the same one I made the last time we were gathered here together. Anybody breaks it... anybody... You will not be welcome here again.

Daniel: We had all lied to each other at some point. And now, when we needed it the most, we couldn't trust each other.

Daniel: Morgan was right... If we do things in here the same way we do things out there... nothing's gonna change. Nothing will be different.

Daniel: You know, you spend your whole life giving people a reason not to trust you... and then one day, you cannot even trust yourself.
