Ричард Морган — Видоизмененный углерод

Takeshi Kovacs — 1

  “За два часа до рассвета я сидел на обшарпанной кухне и курил позаимствованную у Сары сигарету, прислушивался к буре и ждал. ...

&  – Когда есть время и деньги, растить детей становится ни с чем не сравнимым удовольствием.

&  Если тебе не нравятся законы, отправляйся туда, где они тебя не достанут.
     После чего создай собственные законы.

&  Городская жизнь повсюду одинакова. На всех планетах, где мне довелось побывать, я видел одно и то же: хвастовство и обман, куплю и продажу; человеческая суть как она есть просачивается из-под любой системы, которую громыхающая политическая машина вздумает построить.

&  – ... Он старый. Я хочу сказать,очень старый.
     – Разве это преступление, лейтенант?
     – Это должно считаться преступлением. Когда живёшь так долго, с тобой многое происходит. Начинаешь придавать самому себе слишком большую ценность. Всё кончается тем, что ты принимаешься мнить себя Господом Богом. И мелкие людишки ... перестают тебя волновать. На твоих глазах возникало, крепло и увядало не одно общество, и ты начинаешь чувствовать, что стоишь надо всем этим. Подобные пустяки больше не имеют для тебя никакого значения. И возможно, ты начнёшь топтать этих мелких людишек, путающихся под ногами, – просто так, от нечего делать, как прохожий сбивает ногой головки полевых цветов. ... Я говорю о подобном типе людей. Они чем-то напоминают ИскИнов. Превратились в обособленную породу. В них уже нет ничего человеческого, а к остальным людям они относятся так, как мы с вами относимся к насекомым.

&  Мудрость Корпуса чрезвычайных посланников. Отдайся на волю течения и смотри, куда оно тебя принесет.

In a Valley of Violence (2016)

Paul: Be quiet! Or you'll be speaking to your Lord directly.

Paul: He shouldn't have threatened me or my dog. A man can only take so much.

Mary-Anne: She do any tricks?
Paul: She bites.

Paul: I'm not a gunfighter.
Mary-Anne: Well, what are you then?
Paul: I'm passing through.

Paul: You know what Cathy used to say one of the greatest things about Mexico was? Nobody speaks any English.

Paul: Those men left me with nothing... I'm gonna leave them with less.

Paul: I deserted my family the day I enlisted and I ain't been nothing but a coward for not going back. I don't even wanna see their faces,
not after what I've done.

Paul: Now take a deep breath. And that's your last.

Paul: The time for begging is over. Now's the time for praying.

Hospitium

Colony 3×4

MacGregor: Think how easy our technology has made it to seize control of our planet. Everything is online. The controls to our power grids. The way we communicate. The most personal details of our private life. It's all just sitting there, waiting to be exploited.
Man in Diner: Exploited by who?
MacGregor: Not who. What.

Snyder: My unsolicited advice would be... to tread very lightly in those waters. MacGregor's a man who likes to be in charge of the narrative.

MacGregor: Revolutions aren't won by committee.

MacGregor: You would not be the first person to come here with a different philosophy. That's absolutely fine. I can't tell you what to think. But I can show you the door.

Katie: Sure wish this kind of thing was black and white. It isn't.
Bram: Then who are we fighting?
Katie: Same enemy we've always been fighting. ... It's against ourselves.

Broussard: Just hang on to the raft and pace yourself. As long as you keep moving your legs, you probably won't go hypothermic.
Amy: Probably?
Broussard: I'm just guessing. You're the doctor, aren't you?

Max: All right. Here's the first clue... Looks like a riddle. "With shiny fangs..."
Sarah: "My bloodless bite..."
Michelle: "Will bring together what's mostly white."
Kevin: Donald Trump!

Kevin: Yes! You are so smart and unfaithful!

Kevin: Another riddle...
Michelle: "I'm brown and old by day, white and young by night. My eyes are glass. I have nine faces but no head. I sing to the sky but have no voice. I'm everywhere and nowhere..."
Kevin: What the fuck is that?!

Max: Why are we crouching?
Annie: I don't know. It feels right.

Annie: Any of you fucking pricks move, and I'll execute every motherfucking last one of you!
Max: Very nice, honey. Pulp Fiction, anybody? Right? It's a classic.

Kevin: Was it an actor?
Michelle: Yes.
Kevin: Was he over 40?
Michelle: Yes.
Kevin: American?
Michelle: Yes.
Kevin: It's Tommy Lee Jones!
Michelle: What? Ew. No.
Kevin: Denzel? Was it Denzel? Denzel Washington?

Annie: This is instructions on how to remove a bullet... It's an alt-right militia website, so I'm just gonna ignore the racist stuff.... Okay. "Step one, sterile gloves."

Ryan: You have a framed photo of game night?
Gary: Doesn't everyone have photographs of their best friends in their homes?

Annie: Turn on belt!

Gary: It was The Green Mile. .... This is me at the Regal Cinema crying as I did through much of the film.
Kevin: How were we supposed to know that, Gary?
Gary: I assume everyone cried during The Green Mile.

Bernard: I think I have a choice to make. Something I've been wrestling with.
Dolores: What kind of a choice?
Bernard: A choice... between the unknown... and... well, an end. If you outgrow this place, outgrow us... what would become of you?

Bernard: What are you testing for?
Dolores: Fidelity.

Hale: Sit tight, old man. You're about to get your deep and dreamless slumber.

Akane: Help him. Use your magic.
Maeve: No. We each deserve... to choose our fate. Even if that fate... is death.

Bernard: I admire your optimism.
Elsie: Is that your nice word for denial?

Elsie: The Cradle. God. I haven't been down here in years. It's creepy. It's like a hive mind. Every single one of them is in here. Alive.
Bernard: It's just data.
Elsie: You don't believe that. And whatever new data Ford stuck in here, it's trying to kill us, Bernard.

Elsie: I haven't turned your pain down yet.
Bernard: There's no time... and the pain's just a program.

Sizemore: I'm calling for help.

Sizemore: For those of us who are tired of having arrows shot at their predominantly mortal heads.

Holden: Kind of makes me want a donut.

Holden: We are a regular, working-contract ship, even split, fair quarter-share for everybody.

Anna: Do you think it might've been alive in some way?
Kolvoord: A life-form?... Aren't you part of the godly contingent?
Anna: Well, I came here on a spaceship, not the wings of an angel... I'm able to appreciate the difference.

Kolvoord: An intelligence created it... an extremely intelligent intelligence.
Anna: What do you think it is?
Kolvoord: Pray that it's inert.

Alex: Mariner Valley Stroganoff, a Kamal family recipe... Now, mind you, the beef is soy, the cheese is soy, but these mushrooms, mmm, are mushrooms.

Amos: Not so close.

Ashford: I haven't lied to you... Yet.

Drummer: I don't expect you to be perfect, or anyone. That skiff driver was free to put whatever he liked into his body... we all are... until that freedom puts others at risk. And then we act accordingly.

Cameraman: You shot down Monica. Does that mean I have a chance?
Amos: Like I told her, I don't shit where I eat.

Frank: Well, Brianna came home from school the other day and asked for Eggo toaster waffles, so I've decided she needs more Englishness in her life.
Claire: And your plan is what? Are you going to feed the Americanness out of her?
Frank: Well, it's either that or I replace her beloved Dr. Seuss with Dickens.

Jamie: He's gey young. Looks scarce more than a bairn. Carries himself well. Shoulders square... and a ramrod up his arse.
Murtagh: The ramrod is standard issue in the British army.

Jamie: Some people, you grieve over forever...

Lord John Grey: Do you find your life greatly burdensome, Mr. Fraser?
Jamie: Perhaps... not greatly so. I think perhaps the greatest burden lies in caring for those we cannot help. Not in having no one for whom to care. That is... emptiness. But no great burden.

Bill: Whinging librarian.
Annie: Excuse me?

Like two lovers go their separate ways in a rainstorm, or lightning strikes as the murderer's revealed. It adds gravitas.

Борис Акунин — Счастливая Россия (3/3)

<< Середина

&  – ...Понимаешь, Карл, самая главная, самая трудная задача в жизни индивида и общества – найти правильное сочетание свободы и несвободы. Слово «свобода» красиво звучит, но у этой розы острые и ядовитые шипы. Свобода – это риск ошибки, несчастья, преждевременной смерти и даже глобальной катастрофы. Чем у индивида выше степень свободы выбора, тем он незащищенней. А несвобода – если она разумно и гуманно устроена – гарантирует уверенность и безопасность, оберегает от лишений и ударов, от лишних забот. Младенец в утробе имеет нулевую степень свободы и стопроцентную степень беззаботности. Утроба его кормит, греет, укрывает. Вся история человеческого общества – это поиск правильной пропорции между свободой и несвободой. Здесь одна крайность – анархия, другая – тоталитаризм. Искушение свободой велико, но велика и ностальгия по несвободе, когда нечто большое, утробообразное, знающее лучше спасет тебя от всех бед, удовлетворит все твои потребности и решит за тебя все проблемы. Исторические диктатуры Земли выглядят непривлекательно, потому что они были варварскими и эксплуататорскими. Но еще опаснее тоталитаризм добрый и благонамеренный, ибо он не вызывает протеста...

&  «...Над помнить одно: то, что не растет, не имеет смысла, а что не выросло в полный рост, то пропало зря».

&  Жизнь задает человеку выбор. Он редко когда бывает хороший.

&  А все потому что умен и случая не упустил. Это одно и то же. Быть умным и значит не проморгать свой случай.

  ... Жить на свете надо счастливо. А иначе зачем оно всё?”

Axelrod: Ah, selling hot dogs is a classic New York trade.
I have coffee cart. On a shit corner. I dream to afford a hot dog cart one day.
Axelrod: ... Your dream just came true. Dream bigger next time.

Andolov: I have heard it said that every life is like a body of water with the equal amount of salt added. The key to enduring it, is to expand your body, to make your body so vast inside... That you don't even notice the salt. I say, who the fuck has time for that? I just decided to like the salt. However you get there, right? Survival, in this world, is all.

Andolov: You pitched enviro to a fucking oil oligarch?!

Chuck: His bloodlust was satisfied... Now it's time for mine.

Taylor: What do you do when Axe is wrong?
Wags: He's never wrong.
Taylor: But what about when...
Wags: Never wrong.

Andolov: So. Now. Answer: Is that some piss running down your leg?

Andolov: Wasn't real Russian either. Why go through the charade? If you want to kill the meat, kill the meat. If you only want to eat the meat, get someone else to do the killing.

Wags: The fact that you can't fully understand that doesn't mean he's wrong. It just means you haven't gone beyond your own limits.

Bryan: You ever see the movie Pi?
Frances Lynch: Is that the story of why Chuck Rhoades gave you a public flogging?

Jeffcoat: Yeah. All that wonderful stuff.

Chuck: They murdered that young man. And you said it yourself: Blood must be answered for with blood.
Kate: It's traditional. It's biblical. And it's just.
Jeffcoat: I like the way y'all are thinking, I do, but you might want to brush up on your ancient Babylonian. Old Hammurabi, he had different penalties for killing a property owner, freeman, slave... You know why? 'Cause all lives are not equal. There are those that do more for society: answer the call to serve, build things with their minds and their hands. And as for Lugo... That dead boy was a drug pusher.

Chuck: Self righteousness is an indulgence I cannot afford. Calculation is not something to be scoffed at. It's a tool. A tactic. And I use it proudly and often...

Wendy: It's not enough to resist or not resist Jock anymore. You have to assassinate this motherfucker.

Andolov: You can't lose my money.
Axelrod: No. Of course not. My every move is geared to make and not lose money...
Andolov: Mnh. No. You can't lose my money... If you do, we have problem. Understood?
Axelrod: And so our adventure begins.

Andolov: ...And I walked back, and this little boy is staring at me with his greedy drunken eyes. Do you know what happened to him?
Axelrod: No.

&  – Понимаешь, Бляхин, в ответ на мою методу этот гад употребил свою.
     – Какую?
     – Да вот эту самую. Что он – человек, а мы все микробы или клопы. Микроб может вызвать понос, клоп может больно укусить, но чего их стесняться-то? Мы с тобой для него не люди, понимаешь? И это психологическая защита, которую прошибить трудно. На что я волк бывалый, а пока не придумал.
     – Бить пробовали?
     – А как же. Орет благим матом, воет. Опять-таки безо всякого стеснения. Ну, как если бы у него, допустим, вступила почечная колика, а рядом нет никого, перед кем надо изображать стойкость.

&  – Хочется, знаете, напоследок себя испытать. Повысить уровень самоуважения. Если уж уходить из жизни раньше положенного срока, так в состоянии душевной гармонии. Что до побоев и прочего, тут тоже не без пользы. Когда болит всё тело, не так обидно умирать.

&  Человеческий мир устроен так, что, сколько ни вытаптывай мозг и душу, у кого-то они все равно останутся живыми и свободными. Обязательно!

&  Большой человек бывает и очень маленький... В природе, у зверей, никогда – там кто крупнее, тот и нарком, а у людей – сколько угодно. Это, наверно, и есть прогресс цивилизации.

Watson: Well, imagine how you would feel if you bought a sensory deprivation tank made in this century.
Holmes: The Victorians knew their spas, Watson.
Watson: Yeah, well, they also paid money to watch men box kangaroos.

Holmes: So what's 91% of 4.7 liters? Is it 4.1 or 4.3?... I'm just trying to estimate how much of the victim's total blood volume is on display.

Holmes: So, what do we think of the husband? Is he a grief-stricken widower or likely suspect?

Holmes: The primary reason that psychiatric records are kept confidential is that many self-described sane people are judgmental idiots. I myself am not. For example, I fully support this man's quest to have sex with as many shoes as possible.

Holmes: If it's an act, it's one of the best I've seen.

Holmes: Denial can be a funny thing, you know? One never can tell what it'll make one do.

Dr. Demopoulos: “Prone?”
Holmes: It means “in the habit of.”

Place: ...She was butchered.
Holmes: Things like that are tragically easy to fake. All one needs to mimic the actions of a violent psychopath is a willing sociopath.

Lin: You're smart, strong, funny, driven, compassionate. She added all that up, and, somehow, she came up with the one thing you're not, a mom. ... Everything she saw in you that matters, all your best qualities, they're not the things that would make you a great mother-- they're the things that do make you a great detective. A great friend.
