The One with the Engagement Picture

Friends 7×5

Rachel: How would you feel about taking out my assistant Tag? I'll pay.
Joey: Heh. It's gonna take a lot of money for me to go out on a date with a dude.
Rachel: I'm not asking you to go on a date with him.
Joey: Really? Because I could kind of use the money...
Monica: Chandler, what is the matter with your face? This picture's supposed to say "Geller and Bing to be married"... not "Local woman saves drowning moron."
Ross: Ha-ha-ha.
Monica: Hey, don't laugh at him. He's my drowning moron.

Monica: Find the one where you make your bedroom eyes...
Chandler: Oh, there it is!.... Oh, my God, those are my bedroom eyes? Why did you ever sleep with me?
Monica: Do you really want to pull at that thread?

Tag Jones: Let me ask you something.
Rachel: Uh-huh?
Tag Jones: Do you believe there's one perfect person for everyone?
Rachel: I'm starting to.
Tag Jones: If that person's in your life, you should do something about it?
Rachel: Yes. Hell, yes.
Tag Jones: All right, then, it's settled.
Rachel: Okay.
Tag Jones: I'm getting back together with my ex.
Rachel: I would love to!
Tag Jones: What?!

Ross: We're better off without them.
Phoebe: Heh. Even if they break up again, you better not let him in your sad men's club.
Ross: Divorced men's club.
Phoebe: Potato, "potato..."

Friends 7×4

Ross: What about you?
Phoebe: I don't know. I can't lie to him again. Oh, no, I... No. I'm just gonna press my breasts up against him.
Monica: And say nothing?
Phoebe: Uh-huh, yeah, that's right.

Chandler: That's it? I gave up my Disneyland story for that?!
Monica: Hm, that's right. You lose, sucker!.. Please still marry me.

Monica: You kissed a guy? Oh, my God!
Chandler: In my defense, it was dark and he was a very pretty guy.

Rachel: Wait a minute, what happened to Days of our Lives?
Joey: Uh, well, they might be a little mad at me over there.
Phoebe: What happened?
Joey: Well, maybe I got a little upset, and maybe I told them where they could go.

Rachel: He's Tag. This is Phoebe... Phoebe, can I see you for a sec?
Phoebe: Mm-hm.
Tag Jones: Phoebe...
Phoebe: Mm-hm.
Tag Jones: Great name.
Phoebe: You like that? You should hear my phone number.

Chandler: You know when I said married people... should share everything and not have any secrets?
Monica: Yeah?
Chandler: That was stupid. Let's not do that.

American Horror Story. Double Feature: Red Tide

Doris Gardner: I think it's a little creepy.
Harry Gardner: Okay, well, you know, creepy can be beautiful.
Doris Gardner: Spoken like a true writer.

Martha: Welcome to Provincetown... Or P-town, as we call it. You know, the pilgrims landed here before they landed in Plymouth.

Alma Gardner: It looks haunted.
Harry Gardner: Every house in Provincetown is haunted, sweetheart. It's the ghosts of all the old whalers drowned at sea.

Doris Gardner: This is the perfect place for you to work without distraction and for me to get some real experience. I think it's gonna be fun.
Harry Gardner: Me too.
Doris Gardner: Like a babymoon.
Harry Gardner: Mm. Okay.

Harry Gardner: Uh, what did I do to deserve this?
Austin Summers: You have that look about you.
Harry Gardner: One that says I need a drink?
Austin Summers: One that says you need a positive review.
Belle Noir: We're fellow travelers. Warriors of words. Soldiers of syntax. Pugilists of prose.
Austin Summers: Writers.

Austin Summers: This place, it just, uh...
Belle Noir: Inspires us.

Harry Gardner: No, thanks. I don't like to get drunk during the day.
Austin Summers: Well, the key is to be drunk so often, you can't tell the difference between being drunk and sober. You're just drunk or... more drunk.

Harry Gardner: What are these?
Austin Summers: They don't have a name. Funny how we found a pill to help artists and writers but none of us have ever given it a name.

Harry Gardner: There's a catch. There's always a catch.
Austin Summers: You could have been a fucking English teacher or an adman or help run your daddy's sporting goods store...
Harry Gardner: My father was a lawyer.
Austin Summers: Yes, but you chose to be a writer. Because you don't really live in this world. You observe it. You interpret it. You feed off of it. And then you sit and you put words together so that the poor suckers who do live in the world can see what they look like, who they are, why they hurt. And you chose it because you want love and attention and barrels of money. It's fucking insane. But those are the only things that can fill that hole... in your soul. Hole... in your soul. Hole in your soul. Hole in your soul! Hole in your soul...

Austin Summers: Are you a real writer?... I don't think you are. 'Cause if you were... You wouldn't care what the price was for getting uncorked. You'd rather die than keep all of those wonderful words bottled up inside of you... Take the pill, Harry.

Monica: What's wrong, Phoebe?
Phoebe: I just went to my old apartment to get you the cookie recipe... and that stupid fire burned it up!
Monica: No! Why didn't you make a copy and keep it in a fireproof box... and keep it at least 100 yards away from the original?
Phoebe: .... Because I'm normal.

Rachel: Oh, God, Joey. Oh, I'm my father. Oh, my God. This is horrible. I've been trying so hard not to be my mother, I did not see this coming.

Monica: Aw, Pheeb, isn't there any relative that would have the recipe? What about your sister?
Phoebe: Oh, no. I made a promise to myself that the next time... I would talk to Ursula is over my dead body. And that's not happening until October 15, 2032.
Ross: That's the day you're gonna die? See. Darn it, I've got shuffleboard that day.

<< Ловушка (Джек Ричер — 3)

Джек Ричер — 4

  “Говорят, что знание – это сила. Чем больше знаний, тем больше силы. ...

&  Тот, кто начинает говорить первым, в любой паре является доминирующей половиной. А в столкновении один против двух доминирующую половину необходимо вывести из дела в первую очередь.

&  – Мне дадут сделать один телефонный звонок? – спросил Ричер. – Или ФБР в эту чушь не верит?
     – В течение первых двадцати четырех часов. Мы позаботимся о том, чтобы вы не оказались лишены своих конституционных прав.

&  Вся проблема с нарушением конституционных прав заключается в том, что должны быть свидетели. Только в этом случае можно что-либо доказать.

&  Твоя задача не составляет никакого труда. Абсолютно никакого. Она требует кропотливой работы, только и всего. Как и всё в этом мире.

&  Ричер это предвидел. Если военно-морской флот говорит «три часа», значит, речь идет именно о трех часах. О ста восьмидесяти минутах, ни секундой больше, ни секундой меньше. «Время и приливы никого не ждут.» Именно на таких глупостях и зиждется военно-морской флот.

&  Они больше не разговаривали друг с другом до самого Сиэттла. Ни одного слова за пять часов. Ричера это вполне устраивало. Он терпеть не мог общаться по необходимости. Ему было приятнее молчать.Он не находил в этом ничего странного. Ему не приходилось делать над собой никаких усилий. Он просто сидел и молчал, как будто путешествовал в одиночку.

&  Бессмысленно беспокоиться по поводу того, что ты все равно не в силах изменить.

&  – Это должно быть что-то очень простое. В конечном счете все всегда сводится к чему-то простому, верно? В девяноста девяти случаях из ста простое объяснение является правильным.

&  Каждый человек в глубине души знает, что он хочет. А сомнения – это лишь шум, которым ты пытаешься скрыть правду, потому что не хочешь взглянуть ей в глаза.

&  – Тебе пора принимать окончательное решение. Жизнь может быть или оседлой, или кочевой, но не той и другой одновременно.

&  Ричер молчал. Эту тактику он отточил до совершенства еще полжизни назад. Стой совершенно неподвижно, не мигай, ничего не говори. Жди, пока твой визави перебирает все возможности. Не друг. Не адвокат. В таком случае, кто? Дождись, чтобы он начал беспокоиться.

&  – Так в чем же дело?
     – Правда и ложь, – ответил Ричер. – А также средства, мотив и возможность. Святая троица правоохранительных органов.

&  – Так, ребята, слушайте внимательно, – окликнул их второй пилот, выглянувший из кабины. – Этот самолет военный, федеральному управлению гражданской авиации не подчиняется, поэтому предполетное объявление будет на военный манер, договорились? А именно: не беспокойтесь, потому что мы не разобьемся. А если разобьемся, вас непременно расплющит в отбивную котлету и превратит в пепел, так что причин для беспокойства все равно нет.

&  – Но как?
     – Я перебирал все в уме, начиная с самого начала. Думал, думал и думал, дни и ночи, думал до умопомрачения. Вопрос стоял так: «А что если?» А затем он превратился в: «Возможно ли что-либо еще?»

&  Джоди рассказала мне, что у них в фирме есть правило «а что еще». Если кого-то ловят на лжи, сразу же возникает вопрос: а что еще? Что еще он солгал?

  ... Все проводили их взглядами до дверей, а затем стали обсуждать вполголоса, что бы это могло значить.”

Downton Abbey 2×4

Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: Are you sure she has no chap in mind? How odd! I had an endless series of crushes at her age.
Lady Mary Crawley: I don't think so.
Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: Not even some man she doesn't care to mention?
Lady Mary Crawley: What do you mean?
Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: Well, war breaks down barriers and when peacetime re-erects them, it's... very easy to find oneself on the wrong side.
Lady Mary Crawley: Really, Granny! How can you say that I'm too worldly but Sybil's not worldly enough? You cannot be so contrary.
Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: I'm a woman, Mary. I can be as contrary as I choose.

William Mason: We don't need anyone with us. The Sergeant knows what we're doing. But what are we patrolling for?
Matthew Crawley: You've been taking those logic pills again! This is the army, Mason. We're going on a patrol because we're going on a patrol.

Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: You see, sometimes, in war, one can make friendships that aren't quite... appropriate and it can be awkward, you know, later on. I mean, we've all done it. I just want you to be on your guard.
Lady Sybil Crawley: "Appropriate" for whom?
Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: Well, don't jump down my throat, dear. I'm only offering friendly advice.

Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: It's like living in a second-rate hotel where the guests keep arriving and no-one seems to leave!

Joseph Molesley: Oh, er, I may be wrong, but I thought I saw one of the officers by the maids' staircase just now. I'm sure there's a perfectly reasonable explanation...

Lady Mary Crawley: Darling, don't be such a baby. This isn't fairyland. What did you think? You'd marry the chauffeur and we'd all come to tea? Don't be silly.

Cora Crawley, Countess of Grantham: We ought to go down. It's time for the concert.
Lady Mary Crawley: Who cares about the stupid concert?
Cora Crawley, Countess of Grantham: The men do, and we should, too... because we have to keep going, whatever happens. We have to help each other to keep going.

Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: Is that true?
Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham: There's no proof of anything yet.
Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: I see. Well, I need more than that to make me anxious.
Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham: I'm glad you would be anxious.
Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: Of course I would be. We're used to Matthew now. God knows who the next heir will be. Probably a chimneysweep from Solihull! Huh!

Lady Mary Crawley: Most of you won't know how rare it is to see my sister Edith and I pulling together in a double act...
Cora Crawley, Countess of Grantham: A unicorn, if ever there was one.
Lady Mary Crawley: But in wartime we, like all of you, have more important things to worry about. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you... the Crawley Sisters.
Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: Well, now I've seen everything!

Hershel: Do you ever worry about your mom when she goes away?
Judith: I'm used to it. Grown-ups are always running off doing things. "Promise I'll see you soon. Love you."
Hershel: They used to say that kind of stuff in the olden times, right? They can't promise it now, but they say it anyways.
Judith: They don't want us to think they're never coming back. It's supposed to make us feel better.
Hershel: They say it to make themselves feel better.
Judith: Still... my mom always comes back.

Negan: Listen, I know theatrics. Those people, they just told us exactly how insane they are. We can't be on a road. We can't be on any road that they could use.

Lady Sybil Crawley: Granny.
Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: Mmm...
Lady Sybil Crawley: Different ranks can relax together. It has been known.
Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: Well, don't look at me. I'm very good at mixing. We always danced the first waltz at the Servants' Ball, didn't we, Carson?
Mr. Carson: It was an honour, milady.

Thomas Barrow: I like the idea of giving orders to old Carson...

Ethel Parks: Mr Branson's been telling us the news from Russia.
Mr. Carson: What news is that?
Branson: Kerensky's been made Prime Miniter, but he won't go far enough for me. Lenin denounces the bourgeoisie along with the Tsar. He wants a people's revolution and that's what I'm waiting for. It won't be long now.
Mr. Carson: And what's happened to the Tsar?
Branson: Imprisoned in the Alexander Palace with all his family.
Mrs. Patmore: What a dreadful thing.
Branson: They won't hurt them. Why would they?
Anna Smith: To make an example?
Branson: Give them some credit. This is a new dawn, a new age of government. No one wants to start it with the murder of a bunch of young girls.
Henry Lang: You don't know that. Nobody knows who'll get killed when these things start.

Anna Smith: But what if she fights it?
John Bates: She can't. For her to divorce me, she needs something beyond adultery, cruelty or suchlike. For a husband, adultery is enough.
Anna Smith: That's not very fair to women...

John Bates: I think I would love you, however, whatever, whenever.

Anna Smith: We don't have to wait, you know. If you want me to throw up everything and come with you, I will. Gladly.
John Bates: I can't marry you yet, not legally, and I won't break the law.
Anna Smith: It's not against the law to take a mistress, Mr Bates...
John Bates: I know you, Anna Smith, and I love you, and that is not the right path for you. It won't be long now...

Branson: Who knows what the future will bring?...

Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham: We've dreamed a dream, my dear, but now it's over. The world was in a dream before the war, but now it's woken up and said goodbye to it. And so must we.

General Silvio Luna: To marry me.

Harley Quinn: I know, I know. I know what you're tryin' to say. "Harley, why not just leave?" And I'd say, "Why are you screaming at me? I'm not deaf. I'm standing right here." And then I'd say, "When your taste in men is as bad as mine, they don't just go away quietly. They slash your tires and they kill your dogs and tell you that the music you like ain't real music at all." And all the cruelty... tears you apart after a while.

Harley Quinn: You were real pretty and all, and R.I.P. to that absolutely beautiful monster between your legs, but... all in all... I think you're more pretty like this, with all those rotten thoughts emptied from your head.

Владимир Сорокин — Доктор Гарин (2/2)

<< Начало

&  26.09.1979
     Почему советские актёры в отличие от западных так сильно переигрывают? Они пучат глаза, напрягают мышцы лица, изрекают свои монологи так, словно это последние слова в их жизни. Эти кривляния у нас называются хорошей игрой, “перевоплощением”. Западные не кривляются, не “перевоплощаются”, а просто естественно ведут себя в заданных ролью обстоятельствах. Это и есть мастерство актёра. Почему такая разница? Вспоминаю наш уральский лагерь, где по воскресеньям выступал лагерный театр. В первом ряду восседало начальство. Лагерный театрик был блатным местом для зэков, на время постановки актёров освобождали от общих работ. И они страшно старались играть,просто из кожи вон лезли, только бы остаться в труппе и не ходить на лесоповал. Каждой фразой они доказывали лагерному начальству: я актёр, я актриса! Это выглядело жалко и комично. Если учесть, что СССР – огромный лагерь за железным занавесом, советские актёры – это лагерные актёры, вынужденные играть по заказу лагерного начальства. Они и доказывают лагерному начальству свой профессионализм вполне лагерным способом лицедейской мимики, чтобы не выгнали, не послали на лесоповал. Я уж не говорю о тех пьесах, в которых им приходится “перевоплощаться”.

&  – Деревня деревне глаз не выклюет, но скулу своротит.

&  “А что ещё надо? Куда мы спешим? Куда рвёмся, планируя и предполагая? Громоздим, громоздим песчаные замки планов. Деловые люди! Расчётливые мозги! Профессионалы жизни, чёрт бы нас побрал! Сыпем песок, возводим башенки, лепим арочки. Чтобы цунами реальности вмиг смыло их к чёртовой матери, оставив нас сидеть на берегу, голозадых излых. Планы! Перспектива! Карьера! Какие планы? Какая перспектива? Какая карьера?! Какой, к чёртовой матери, Хабаровск?! Здравствуйте, доктор Гарин, мы заждались вас, вот ваш новый кабинет, вам нравится? Господа, я не доктор Гарин, я букашка на травинке. Да и травинки уже нет, унесло травинку. Несёт и букашку. …”.

  ... – Знаю, – серьёзно ответил Гарин. – Амо. Ра. Монт. Это наш мир. Самый лучший мир во Вселенной.”

Downton Abbey 2×2

Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: You be careful, Mary. Sir Richard mustn't think you're after him.
Lady Mary Crawley: Isn't that the truth?
Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: The truth is neither here nor there. It's the look of the thing that matters.

Mr. Carson: I really can't have maids in the dining room for such a party, so I'd be grateful if you'd help me and play the footman.
Henry Lang: Me? Wait at table?
Mr. Carson: Well, it's not ideal, but I'm afraid I've no choice.

Anna Smith: Mr Lang seems a bit nervous.
Mrs. Hughes: Stage fright. But what about you?
Anna Smith: Oh, I'm a trooper. And we can't complain, can we?
Mrs. Hughes: Not when you think what's going on in France. Still, a broken heart can be as painful as a broken limb.
Anna Smith: Don't feel sorry for me, Mrs Hughes. I'm not. I know what real love is and there aren't many who can say that. I'm one of the lucky ones.
Mrs. Hughes: If you say so.

Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham: He's working much too hard.
Cora Crawley, Countess of Grantham: For a start, he's just got to let the maids serve in the dining room.
Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham: Quite right. There is a war. Even Carson has to make sacrifices.

Lady Rosamund Painswick: But, Mama, who do you imagine is out there with more to offer?
Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: I am not a romantic.
Lady Rosamund Painswick: I should hope not.
Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: But even I will concede that the heart does not exist solely for the purpose of pumping blood.
Lady Rosamund Painswick: That is charming, especially from you.

Mrs. Hughes: Anna and Ethel will wait at the table and I will supervise. What's wrong with that?
Mr. Carson: Nothing. Except that it's how a chartered accountant would have his dinner served.
Mrs. Hughes: I can think of worse insults.
Mr. Carson: If you say so.

Mrs. Hughes: Just try to rest.
Mr. Carson: To rest or to feel redundant?
Mrs. Hughes: Both, if it'll slow you down for a minute and a half. The world does not turn on the style of a dinner.
Mr. Carson: My world does.

Anna Smith: Was it good advice?
Lady Mary Crawley: It was about honesty. He thinks I should say what I really feel.
Anna Smith: Sounds a bit wild for Mr Carson.
Lady Mary Crawley: But do you think he's right?
Anna Smith: Well, they do say honesty's the best policy. And I think you regret being honest less often than you regret telling lies.

Henry Lang: So, still full of the joys of warfare?
William Mason: I'm not sorry to be part of it, Mr Lang, and I can't pretend I am.
Henry Lang: Oh, yes, you're part of it. Like a metal cog is part of a factory, or a grain of sand is part of the beach.
William Mason: It's all right, Mr Lang. I understand. And I'm not saying I'm important or owt like that. But I believe in this war. I believe in what we're fighting for and I want to do my bit.
Henry Lang: Then God help you.

Rachel: Two best friends in love. How often does that happen?
Phoebe: Not that often.
Rachel: No. I'm so happy for them.
Phoebe: Me too. So happy for them.
Rachel: I'm so happy and not at all jealous.
Phoebe: Oh, no! God, definitely not jealous.
Rachel: Mm-mm. I'm probably 98 percent happy and maybe 2 percent jealous.
Phoebe: What's 2 percent? That's nothing.
Rachel: Totally.
Phoebe: I'm like 90-10.
Rachel: Yeah. Me too.

Chandler: In fact, I think the whole concept of marriage is unnatural. Look at pigs. Let's take a second here and look at pigs. Pigs don't mate for life. A pig can have 100 sexual partners in a lifetime. And that's just an ordinary pig, not even a pig that's good at sports.

Rachel: We're gonna find love.
Phoebe: Definitely.
Rachel: Yeah, I'm pretty confident about that. That's what makes it so easy to be 80 percent happy for Monica and Chandler.

Rachel: Would be nice to have a guarantee...
Phoebe: What do you mean?
Rachel: Some people make deals with a friend. Like if neither of them are married by 40, they marry each other.
Phoebe: You mean a backup?
Rachel: Exactly.
Phoebe: Yeah, yeah. I've got that.

Rachel: Yeah. Love... It's a tricky business, isn't it?
Ross: I guess so...
Rachel: So, what do you say we make a pact? If you and I are both single by 40, we get married. I mean, we know each other, we like each other... we've already slept together, so there'll be no surprises there. No, like, "What's that?"
Ross: Oh, you want me to be your backup.
Rachel: Exactly.
Ross: Oh, yeah. I already have one.
Rachel: Who?!

Richard: Do you ever think about me in... a non-eye-doctor way?

Rachel: You can't have two backups!
Phoebe: Of course I can. It's just good sense to back up your backup. Look, I've already lost Chandler.
Rachel: What?!?!

Phoebe: Well, let's see. Ross is a good father. But... Joey has a boat. This is hard.

Phoebe: Wait, guys. Don't make any rash decisions. Remember my promise: If we get married, three times a week.
Rachel: Oh, my God. Phoebe...
Phoebe: I'm talking about massages.

Monica: I... I... I have to figure... some stuff, before I can...
Richard: Yeah, I understand. Take as much time as you want. Ten, 20 minutes, if you need it. I'll be here. Not smoking.

Владимир Георгиевич Сорокин — Доктор Гарин

  “Любезный и временно далёкий друг мой, многодосточтимый Платон Ильич! ...

&  Но я помню Ваши мудрые слова, коими Вы напутствовали меня при выписке из Вашего сверхчудодейственного санатория: “Не стирайте надежду. Надежда – не одежда”. Вы всегда изъяснялись сверхмудрыми загадками-пословицами, которые я разгадывал позже. Прошли эти месяцы, и разгадалось Ваше алтайское напутствие: настоящая надежда пообноситься не может, её невозможно снять, выстирать и надеть снова. Ибо, как только ты её снял – перестал надеяться! И это уже не надежда, а одежда. Подлинную надежду надобно и грязненькой любить! Так что я свою надежду в прачечную нести не собираюсь. Надеялся, надеюсь и буду надеяться.

&  Работа – не волк, но человек не ёж!

&  – Да. Взрослость, честно говоря, заебала. – Маша взяла рюмку с водкой.
     – Меня тоже, – вздохнул Гарин, беря свою рюмку. – Вокруг всё такое… как сказать… острых углов меньше не становится. Мало к чему можно спокойно прислониться. Только книги и успокаивают.

&  Бьорн Маклафлин родился в норвежском городке Бергене в 2020 году в семье шведки и ирландца. В том году китайцы заразили мир мутирующим вирусом covid-19, от которого вскоре скончались родители Бьорна, работавшие волонтёрами с заражёнными вирусом африканскими беженцами. Бьорна вырастила и воспитала тётя Кристина, владелица небольшого магазина одежды в Осло. Когда Бьорну было двенадцать, она погибла во время рождественского авианалёта талибов на Осло. Бьорн оказался в Ставангере, в интернате Святого Варсонофия, и пробыл там до семнадцатилетнего возраста. Покинув интернат, он поступил в Стокгольмский университет на факультет Scrum and Agile, параллельно работая официантом, грузчиком и курьером. Когда началась Вторая Северная война, Бьорн служил санитаром в финляндском легионе “Lumiampiaiset”. При обороне Хельсинки он получил тяжёлое ранение позвоночника и на всю оставшуюся жизнь был прикован к инвалидному креслу. Это не помешало ему заниматься общественной деятельностью. Во время Революции Стыда он был корреспондентом “Голоса Осло”, состоял в партии “Новая стратегия”. Партийная работа сблизила его с Земфирой Ланн, которая так же была инвалидом войны. Они собирались пожениться, но Земфира трагически погибла во время кислородного теракта в Осло. Утрата возлюбленной тяжело подействовала на Бьорна: он переехал жить в крошечный домик в горах, доставшийся ему в наследство от тёти Кристины. Там он прожил последние двадцать восемь лет. Писать сказки он начал уже в тридцатипятилетнем возрасте. Некоторые из них появлялись в сети, но первая книга сказок Бьорна Маклафлина вышла только после его трагической смерти. В последние три года с ним жил его четвероногий друг сенбернар Джой. В тот печальный февральский день Бьорн и Джой, как всегда, утром после завтрака отправились на прогулку по знакомой горной тропе…
     – …нет, не хочу я о грустном, Гарин. Лучше сами сказки почитаем, да?
     – Да, конечно. А биография по нынешним временам вполне себе академическая, – глубокомысленно вздохнул Гарин, закуривая. – Революция Стыда, домик в горах, собака...

&  – Ланч бранчу не товарищ, но старший брат!

In Case of Emergency

Ozark 3×7

Agent Trevor Evans: First, your uncles turn up dead, then your father gets gunned down. Now, either you're cursed, or this is the cost of loyalty to Marty Byrde.

Martin 'Marty' Byrde: What's this?
Sue Shelby: It's a car.
Martin 'Marty' Byrde: It's a Transformer, and I spoke to you about conspicuous spending. Send this back.
Sue Shelby: Now, see, Marty, that's your problem. You are always trying to control everything.
Martin 'Marty' Byrde: Got it.
Sue Shelby: Loosen up, put a little sparkle in your step.

Sue Shelby: Now, listen, I think we experienced a real breakthrough in our last session.
Martin 'Marty' Byrde: I don't. I'm kicked out of the house.
Sue Shelby: That just means we're going somewhere good.

Martin 'Marty' Byrde: Are they accusing me of money laundering or staging this hit?
Helen Pierce: Both.
Martin 'Marty' Byrde: You really think I'm capable of doing that?

Martin 'Marty' Byrde: You want me to be your asset? You learn how to be a better handler.

Darlene Snell: Maybe... she had a good reason. Did it to protect Marty Byrde. Oh. If that's the case, your quarrel is not with your cousin. It's with Byrde. That man is a disease. He worms his way in, gets his hooks into people and changes them so they forget who they are. I mean, I saw it happen right in front of me with Jacob. The man I loved for 40 years, like a... a part of me. I watched him turn into something that I... I didn't even recognize. And he knew it, too. He just wasn't strong enough to fight it himself. And that's why I had to kill him.
Wyatt Langmore: What?

Wyatt Langmore: I thought you said he had a heart attack.
Darlene Snell: He did. It just wasn't entirely natural.

Special Agent Maya Miller: He's great at what he does. It's a shame he has to do it for a shitty boss.

Sue Shelby: Maybe you're scared that if you take in this stray, you'll be opening yourself up to hurt. Do you think you're avoiding pain?
Frank Jackson: Maybe.
Sue Shelby: Why do you think that is?
Frank Jackson: My job, perhaps. It's better if I don't feel things. I did love my dog.
Sue Shelby: It's easy to confuse vulnerability with weakness. But allowing yourself to be vulnerable is the truest sign of strength.
Frank Jackson: Thank you. That was very helpful.

Helen Pierce: Do you ever get tired of this?
Frank Jackson: No, not really.
Helen Pierce: Good. Keep your schedule open.

The One with the Proposal

Friends 6×24

Phoebe: If she says no, can I have the ring?
Chandler: She won't say no.
Phoebe: If?...

Phoebe: We're practically kissing.

Rachel: How about you guys?
Phoebe: Open bar?
Rachel: I think so.
Phoebe: I can do that for the kids.

Mr. Thompson: Congratulations on your new boat, Joey Tribbiani.

Rachel: Phoebe, don't you think you've had enough to drink?
Phoebe: I'm just helping the kids.
Rachel: How is you drinking helping the kids?
Phoebe: Because the more I drink, the less there is for the kids to drink.

La voie lactée (1969)

L'homme à la cape: Do you have any money?
Jean: No, sir.
L'homme à la cape: Then you shall have none. And you?
Pierre: Yes, I've got a little.
L'homme à la cape: Then you shall have a great deal more.

L'homme à la cape: Go, and take to you a whore and have children of the whore. Thou shalt name the first "Ye Are Not My People." And the second "No More Mercy."

Pierre: Father, a question. Once you swallow, what becomes of the Christ?

Un serveur: Everyone should believe in God?
Richard 'maître d'hôtel': True, atheists have always existed, but they're lunatics. Or they claim to be atheists, but aren't.
Un serveur: How so?
Richard 'maître d'hôtel': Because no sensible man can believe God doesn't exist.
Un serveur: Why not?
Richard 'maître d'hôtel': The proof's in the Bible. Psalms 131: "It is the impious fool who says in his heart there is no God." That's very convincing.
Un serveur: Yes, very convincing.
Jean: Free will. What's it mean?
Pierre: What it means is between a good deed and a bad one, you can choose.
Jean: Okay, but God knows it all, no? So if I choose a bad deed, he knew it long before.
Pierre: Sure, he's always known it.
Jean: How can I be free if my actions are fixed before I do them?
Pierre: That's free will. God's grace allows you to choose to do good.
Jean: But he already knows I'll choose to do evil. Why'd he decide I'd choose evil?
Pierre: God's ways are impenetrable.

La Vierge de l'auberge espagnole: Gentlemen. A word of advice: If anyone knocks at your door, don't open.
Jean: Why not?
La Vierge de l'auberge espagnole: If there's a knock, don't open, that's all. Open to no one. Not even me.

La prostituée: Wait. I got something to tell you... I want you to make me a baby.
Jean: What for?
La prostituée: I'll name it "Ye Are Not My People."
Jean: "Ye Are Not My People..."
Pierre: And what if we had one?
La prostituée: I'd name it "No More Mercy."
Pierre: "No More Mercy"?

Magical Bird #1

Atypical 4×1

Sam: In the beginning of a journey, no one knows what to expect. Sure, they might have a vague idea that the road ahead could be rough. But no one sets off on an expedition thinking, "In four months, I'll have a crippling case of scurvy and be forced to eat a sled dog."

Elsa: And this is where you can sit when we talk when I FaceTime you every night.
Sam: Every night?
Elsa: I talked myself down from three times a day, so that is my best and final offer.

Sam: That's what makes new beginnings so exciting. You don't know what will happen until it's over.

Doug: You know, we spend a lot of time with each other on this job. Sometimes it's good to just... be quiet.

Sam: Okay. Rule number one. Only check off the boxes when the task is completed.
Zahid: Check. For real.
Sam: Rule number two. Stop buying in bulk.
Zahid: Word. I got that Costco card, and I got drunk with power.
Sam: Rule number three. No loud, angry typewriter-ing when I'm home.
Zahid: I will rage alone. It is for the best. Is that all? Great. Well, if anything else pops up, you let me know.

Zahid: I got you something.
Sam: A trash can?
Zahid: A second trash can. We can have one in each spot.
Sam: Smart. Two trash cans is literally twice as good as one.
Zahid: You know, rules aren't a bad idea. But instead of a million, can we do, like, three each?

Sam: I think this is gonna work.
Zahid: Me too, roomie. Weed brownie?
Sam: No.
Zahid: Dance party?
Sam: No.
Zahid: Sit quietly and enjoy each other's company in silence?
Sam: Sure.

Downton Abbey 2×1

Mrs. Hughes: You have to ease up a bit or you'll give yourself a heart attack.
Mr. Carson: There's a war on. Things cannot be the same when there's a war on.
Mrs. Hughes: I do not agree.
Mr. Carson: Keeping up standards is the only way to show the Germans that they will not beat us in the end.
Mrs. Hughes: Well, give me some warning the next time we're expecting Germans at Downton and I'll see what I can do.

Isobel Crawley: Well, if you're serious, what about being an auxiliary nurse? There's a training college in York. I know I could get you onto a course. It may be something of a rough awakening. Are you ready for that? I mean, have you ever made your own bed, for example? Or scrubbed a floor?

Mr. Carson: Last time he was here, he hadn't broken Lady Mary's heart.
Mrs. Hughes: Lady Mary broke her own heart.
Mr. Carson: Hmm!
Mrs. Hughes: That's if she has a heart to break.
Mr. Carson: I don't think we're ever going to see eye to eye on this, Mrs Hughes.
Mrs. Hughes: She refused him when she thought he'd have nothing. And when he was heir again she wanted him back.
Mr. Carson: I thought caution was a virtue.
Mrs. Hughes: Caution maybe. Self-interest is not.

Mrs. Hughes: Perhaps Miss Swire is a gentler person...
Mr. Carson: If you ask me, this "Miss Swire", who, it may interest you to know, is not to be found in Burke's Peerage or Burke's Landed Gentry, has an eye to the main chance.
Mrs. Hughes: Well, that's not snobbish, I suppose?
Mr. Carson: I like to see things done properly, Mrs Hughes. And I won't apologise for that. Now, if you'll excuse me...

Ethel Parks: Why shouldn't she learn how to cook and scrub? She may need it when the war's over. Things are changing. For her lot and us. And when they do I mean to make the most of it.

Cora Crawley, Countess of Grantham: What is it, Carson?
Mr. Carson: Something has been going on and I don't feel quite easy that you've not been made aware of it.
Cora Crawley, Countess of Grantham: Goodness. What is this dark secret? Mr. Carson: Lady Sybil has spent the last two days in the kitchens.

Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham: What is this driving mania?
Lady Edith Crawley: It'll be useful. They won't let a healthy man drive us around for much longer. And if Sybil can be a nurse, why can't I be a chauffeur?

Mr. Carson: That was nice of you.
Mrs. Hughes: It was quite nice. But I had my reasons. There's a grating on the wall, which means you can hear what's being said in the room.
Mr. Carson: Now, if I was a gentleman, I wouldn't want to know.
Mrs. Hughes: But you're not.
Mr. Carson: Fortunately.

Lady Sybil Crawley: I'm terribly flattered.
Branson: Don't say that.
Lady Sybil Crawley: Why not?
Branson: Because "flattered" is a word posh people use when they're getting ready to say no.

Matthew Crawley: Thank you for that. Thank you very much.
Thomas Barrow: What would my mother say? Me, entertaining the future Earl of Grantham to tea.
Matthew Crawley: War has a way of distinguishing between the things that matter, and the things that don't.
