White Noise (2022)

Babette: Life is good, Jack...
Jack: What brings this on?
Babette: I just feel it has to be said.

Babette: I want to die first.
Jack: You sound almost eager.
Babette: Life would feel unbearably sad and lonely without you. Especially if the children were grown up and living elsewhere.
Jack: Right now we're safe. As long as the children are here. They need us. It's great having these kids around but once they get big and scattered, I want to go first.
Babette: No, Jack. Your death would leave an abyss in my life. I'd be left talking to chairs and pillows.
Jack: Your death would be more than an abyss.
Babette: What's more than an abyss?
Jack: A yawning gulf. Your death would be a profound depth... A void.

Jack: I hope we both live forever. Doddering, toothless, liver-spotted, hallucinating... Who decides these things? Who's out there? Who are you?

Jack: All plots move deathward. This is the nature of plots. Political plots, terrorist plots, lovers' plots. Narrative plots. Plots that are a part of children's games. We edge nearer to death every time we plot. It's like a contract all must sign. The plotters, as well as the targets of the plot.

Murray: Family is the cradle of the world's misinformation.
Jack: There must be something in family life that generates factual error.
Murray: That's because facts threaten our happiness and security.
Babette: It's the over-closeness, the noise and the heat of being.

Babette: My life is either/or. Either I chew regular gum or I chew sugarless gum. Either I chew gum or I smoke. Either I smoke or I gain weight. Either I gain weight or I run up the stadium steps.
Jack: Sounds like a boring life.
Babette: I hope it lasts forever.

Babette: Maybe we ought to be more concerned about the cloud. I know we don't want to scare the kids... Jack: Nothing is going to happen.
Babette: I know nothing's going to happen, you know nothing's going to happen, but we ought to think about it just in case. It's just, I mean, when do we know when this is real?

Heinrich: They're not calling it the black billowing cloud anymore.
Jack: What are they calling it?
Heinrich: The airborne toxic event.

Jack: Doesn't anyone want to pay attention to what's actually happening?
Babette: Dad wants credit for fording the creek.
Jack: No, I don't want credit. Forget it, go back to your conversation.
Denise: What if there was a waterfall?
Steffie: Dad, is there a waterfall?

Murray: Everything is fine, and will continue to be fine as long as the supermarket doesn't slip... Do you know the Tibetans believe there's a transitional state between death and rebirth? That's what I think when I come here. The supermarket is a waiting place. It recharges us spiritually. It's a gateway. Look how bright. Look how full of psychic data, waves and radiation. All the letters and numbers are here, all the colors of the spectrum, all the voices and sounds, all the code words and ceremonial phrases. We just have to know how to decipher it.

Dr. Lu: Why so many checkups, Mr. Gladney? In the past, you were always afraid to know if anything was wrong.
Jack: I'm still afraid.
Dr. Lu: Well, I'm glad you're finally taking your status as patient seriously.
Jack: My status?
Dr. Lu: Once people leave the doctor's office, they tend to forget that they are patients. But a doctor doesn't cease being a doctor at close of day. Neither should patient.

Dr. Lu: Together, as doctor and patient, we can do things that neither of us could do separately.

Babette: Kids, listen to me. Hold hands when you cross the street. Be careful around swimming pools. If you think someone is a kidnapper, they probably are.

Babette: It was my last resort, my last hope. First, I'd offered him my mind. Now I offered my body. Jack: How do you offer your body to a composite of three or more people?
Babette: This is a compound person.
Jack: Let's concentrate on the genitals. How many sets are we talking about?

Babette: I love you. I just fear death more than I love you. And I really, really love you.

Babette: What does the Church say about Heaven these days? Is it still the old Heaven, like that?
Sister Hermann Marie: Do you think we are stupid? We are here to take care of sick and injured. Only this. You want to talk about Heaven, you find another place.
Babette: When why do you have that picture on the wall?
Sister Hermann Marie: It's for others, not for us.
Jack: You don't believe in Heaven? A nun?
Sister Hermann Marie: If you don't, why should I?
Jack: If you did, maybe we would.
Sister Hermann Marie: If I did, maybe you would not have to. Someone must appear to believe.
Babette: Is death the end then? Does anything survive?
Sister Hermann Marie: Do you want to know what I believe or what I pretend to believe?

Jack: You're a nun! Act like one!
Sister Hermann Marie: You come in from the street, married, dragging a body by the foot, and talk about angels that live in the sky. Get out from here! So maybe you should try to believe in each other.

Abductions

The White Lotus 2×6

Harper Spiller: I'm just saying that it's not the cheating that bothers me so much...
Ethan Spiller: There was no cheating! There was no cheating!
Harper Spiller: ...as what it says about us.
Ethan Spiller: What? What does it say?
Harper Spiller: That maybe something has died. We are too young to be this old, Ethan. I'm sure you don't want that part of your life to be over.

Tanya MacQuoid-Hunt: Portia. When I see you, I-- I see a younger version of me. You know, when I was a little girl, my mother used to dress me up like a little doll. And I was always a little doll, waiting for someone to play with me. You know, when you're empty inside and you have no direction, you'll end up in some crazy places, right? But you'll still be lost.
Portia: What are you trying to say? Like...
Tanya MacQuoid-Hunt: Get your shit together, Portia.

Jack: What are some of your goals?
Portia: I don't know. Be satisfied?
Jack: Yeah, that'd be nice... I think you just gotta live every day as it comes, do you know what I mean? Like, that's what I'd do anyway. Who knows if we're even gonna be here tomorrow?
Portia: Yeah. That's very true. The world's a fucked-up place. So...
Jack: What's wrong with it?
Portia: Are you joking? Pretty fucking good world, I'd say. Literally everything's falling apart.
Jack: You'd rather live in the Middle Ages then, would ya? When they were ripping each other to shreds, yeah? They were way worse than ISIS or any of them lot. Like, it's a fucking miracle anyone's even left in Europe. All we've been doing is just fuckin' hacking each other to bits and burning each other at the stake.

Jack: All I'm saying is, right, we're fucking lucky, do you know what I mean? Like, we're living in the... best time in the history of the world, on the best fucking planet. If you can't be satisfied living now, here... you're never gonna be satisfied.

Niccolò: Little pick-me-up?
Tanya MacQuoid-Hunt: I'm, uh... I haven't done that in a long time.
Niccolò: It's like riding a bike.

Bert Di Grasso: You always think there's gonna be a homecoming. The embrace of a woman... who tells you you've done all right. Well, there is no homecoming. Not for me, not anymore.

Remember What They Took from You

Fear the Walking Dead 8×1

Morgan: What about the parents? Why can't we bring them in, too?
PADRE 1: We tried. We found they don't want to build something better. They want to re-build what we had, and what we had got us into this mess.

PADRE 1: Do you really want to do this?
Madison: There's nothing you could do to me that's worse than what I'm already living.
PADRE 1: We'll see about that...

Madison: How old are you?
Mo: 8. Why are you asking me this?
Madison: Shit!
Mo: What?
Madison: God dammit!
Mo: What?!
Madison: It can't have been that long.
Mo: What are you talking about?

Madison: What's your name?
Mo: Wren.
Madison: No. No, it's not. It's Mo. I brought you here seven years ago.

Mo: I don't understand.
Madison: That's how PADRE gets people to do what they want. They find out what matters to you and threaten it.
Morgan: They provide a way of life that works.

Morgan: You don't train 8-year-olds to kill without a good reason.

Grace: I'm your mother. Now let's get the hell out of here.

Mo: You have to save yourself so you can help everyone else.

Jen Carcetti: Tommy.
Councilman Thomas 'Tommy' Carcetti: I'm sorry. I can't believe I said that.
Reverend: Moses will do for now. We'll save Jesus for your second term.

Brianna Barksdale: You both got what was coming. But ain't nothing lasts forever.

Deputy Commissioner for Operations William A. Rawls: Tactical tells me we're still about 20 bodies short for manning the polling places. I want you to detail two detectives to uniformed election duty immediately.
Sgt. Jay Landsman: Let me guess: Norris and Greggs.
Deputy Commissioner for Operations William A. Rawls: Sounds good. They're to report to Tactical at 1300 today for election orientation. They can pick up their writ and talk to their snitch on Wednesday... American democracy. Let's show those Third World fucks how it's done.
Sgt. Jay Landsman: Yes, sir.

Councilman Thomas 'Tommy' Carcetti: Could be a great city again. Pull some jobs in here. People move back, fix up the houses...

Councilman Thomas 'Tommy' Carcetti: We won.

Councilman Thomas 'Tommy' Carcetti: You said I oughta shore up my base.
Jen Carcetti: You didn't call him on it?
Councilman Thomas 'Tommy' Carcetti: The ironies of democracy. A vote's a vote. And I never throw one back. Speaking of ballots, did you vote for me?
Norman Wilson: The sanctity of the voting booth is a cornerstone of American democracy.

Theresa D'Agostino: Well, Tommy... four years is a long time for a fellow like you. This could be your last chance for a while... You sure? Maybe you have learned something... Write me a check.

The Promotion

The Office 6×3

Dwight Schrute: Could you please sign my expense report?
Michael Scott: No way, no how. Expense reports are a day-to-day item. That is Jim's now. I am exclusively big picture. Epic.

Dwight Schrute: Sign this.
Jim Halpert: Uh-uh-uh. Where's the please? We're not animals.

Dwight Schrute: I have a complaint about Jim.
Michael Scott: That is not big picture.
Dwight Schrute: I would like to file a huge, enormous, massive complaint about the tallest guy in our office.
Michael Scott: Okay.

Jim Halpert: Can I talk to you in my office for a second?
Michael Scott: Sure. But could I first talk to you in my office?
Stanley Hudson: Can I also be a boss?

Oscar Martinez: Look, it doesn't take a genius to know that any organization thrives when it has two leaders. Go ahead, name a country that doesn't have two presidents. A boat that set sail without two captains. Where would Catholicism be without the popes?

Michael Scott: Jim, to be fair, the conversation wasn't about planets.
Jim Halpert: Right.
Michael Scott: At first, we were talking about introducing a line of toilet paper. And what part of the human body does one use toilet paper upon? So you draw a line from there to the other planets, and I think by the end, we all learned a little bit about how small we are.
Jim Halpert: Yes, I agree. I just feel...
Michael Scott: Because it's a big universe. And we're all just little tiny specks of dust.

Michael Scott: It is one thing me giving you the co-manager title, it is another thing you bossing me around.

Michael Scott: Jim, don't take this the wrong way. Are you going to take this the wrong way?... You use your brain too much.
Jim Halpert: I'm sorry, are you advocating that I use it less?
Michael Scott: Sometimes the smartest people don't think at all.
Jim Halpert: You just came up with that.
Michael Scott: As I was saying it.

Jim Halpert: I've been studying Michael for years and I've condensed what I've learned into this chart... How Michael spends his time. As you can see, we have procrastinating and distracting others. And this tiny sliver here is critical thinking... I made it bigger so that you could see it.

Kevin Malone: Hey, Pam. I heard that you were registered, but I didn't hear where.
Pam Beesly: I don't think we registered anywhere. We just want cash.
Kevin Malone: Like money? Like, you want my money?
Pam Beesly: Mmm-hmm.
Kevin Malone: Will you take a check?
Pam Beesly: Yeah.
Kevin Malone: Cool. In the memo line, I'm going to write, "To love's eternal glory."
Pam Beesly: Okay.
Kevin Malone: Wait till Monday.

Michael Scott: Well, we all know it's hard to be a boss, right? You know what? Look around you, these are your best friends. These are the people who will open their hearts to you. They all have heart-ons for you. And that is a gift. So in terms of gifts, we should be giving each other gifts. Angela, yes, lend Oscar a cup of sugar.

Ryan Howard: Question for you, would you guys rather have $100 now or $5,000 a year from now?
Pam Beesly: $100 now, for sure.
Ryan Howard: Because you just give me $50 to cover the broker fee, I put in $100 of my own money, as the gift.
Pam Beesly: Yeah. No, no. The $100. I'll just take the $100.
Ryan Howard: Instead of $5,000 a year from now?
Pam Beesly: ... How sure is this?

Operation Fortune: Ruse de guerre (2023)

Knighton: How are you, old man?.. You look like the walking dead.
Nathan: Yes, I'm always a little bit cold when I've just got out of the bed.

Nathan: But why me, why not the official intelligence branch?
Knighton: Ruse de Guerre, Nathan. An unorthodox approach to war. I need a creative, cunning and unconventional vision to retrieve this kind of mercurial threat. A currier on a bicycle in congested traffic. Not the official team. They take forever to wave through the administration and the clock does ticketh.

Knighton: So, who would be heading up your team?
Nathan: The usual chap: Orson Fortune.
Knighton: Oh, fuck! That man is an administrative nightmare. He can't fly unless there's a private jet because of claustrophobia, then he needs sedating with the finest claret because of agoraphobia, and then there's a rehabilitation in the Maldives because of a cloud-a-bloody-phobia.

Orson: I know John, I like John, I trust John, he's a pro. Someone paying him more?
Nathan: Yes.
Orson: If I asked, would you pay me more?
Nathan: You can ask.
Orson: Would you pay me more?
Nathan: No. You're above that grumpy self interest. You're a patriot. And besides, no one gets treated like you get treated.
Orson: When you say "you" you really mean you.

Orson: Are you a patriot?
Danny: I don't vote Republican if that's what you mean.
Orson: Okay, let me give it to you in a different way. The world needs you for you greatest role yet.

Orson: What do you think an agent does? They act. And no one acts better that you, Danny. The best agents are stars, the best actors are movie stars.
Danny: I guess that's sorta true...
Orson: You're an actor. Act.

Danny: There's a big difference between an actor and a movie star.
Orson: And that is why they're obsessed with you.
Danny: Yeah...

JJ: If there's a problem I'll do it.
Orson: No, there's no problem, JJ. I'll do it. I can get inside the Ukrainians.
Sarah: I hope you take them to dinner first.
Orson: ...
Sarah: Before you get inside of them... sexually.

Sarah: Now I'd like you to plug in that drive and slap Enter.

Sarah: Whatever they control, I can control better.

Orson: Front, back, right, wrong. Whatever.

Knighton: And yes, we did raise a lot of money for the war orphans, thank you for caring.
Trent: Put a load of rich lowbrows in a room together, they'll always outbid one another in the name of egotistical competition and ostentation.

Knighton: Didn't have you down as an angry anti-capitalist.
Arnold: We are anti-capitalists. Anti other capitalists.

JJ: You any good in one of these?
Orson: It's been a while. But I'll feel my way. It's only a chopper. Feeling my way.

JJ: Do you know how to use these rocket launchers?
Orson: Can't be too complicated. F for forward, R for rocket.

Orson: JJ, tell Greg we're coming in. We have an offer he can't refuse.

Knighton: I don't wanna patronize you. I'm not a patronizing person. But you three, one, two, three, you are quite new to this game, aren't you? And there' is a reason why no one, and I do mean no one not Mr. Hussein, not Mr. Gaddafi, not Mr. Escobar... and that's before I start dropping names, why none of them have ever refused to pay me.

Nathan: I suppose you all feeling quite pleased with yourselves?
Orson: It's impossible to feel pleased with ourselves on the wages that you pay.

Tanya MacQuoid-Hunt: TANYA: You know, sometimes, I think... I should've started that spa for poor women with that girl from Maui. You know, 'cause she was like a real healer. The real deal. But you know, sometimes I think those healers are a little witchy.
Portia: Hm.
Tanya MacQuoid-Hunt: Maybe she put a curse on me...

Tanya MacQuoid-Hunt: Look at that pool... I mean, these are some high-end gays... Oh, it's a good feeling when you realize that someone has money. 'Cause then you don't have to worry about them wanting yours.
Portia: Mm. Must be such a relief.
Tanya MacQuoid-Hunt: It is. It is. God, will you look at this?... Oh, my God. Don't steal anything.

Quentin: You know, after hearing the story of your love life, we decided you were like a tragic heroine in a Puccini opera. I told you this.
Tanya MacQuoid-Hunt: Yeah, but-- Is that a compliment?
Quentin: Oh, yes.
Tanya MacQuoid-Hunt: It is?

Lucia: What about tonight?
Albie Di Grasso: Yeah, um... I-- I don't mind paying. I just-- I would feel weird being part of some situation. Like, if you're being exploited by some guy. Do-- do you know-- do you know what I mean?

Tanya MacQuoid-Hunt: Who's the lady? Is it the Queen of Sicily?

Harper Spiller: Cheers. To volcanos, and all the threesomes of past, and... present, and future.

Daphne Sullivan: I feel like you sow your oats when you're young, and then you just, you know, you get it out of your system.
Cameron Sullivan: I don't know. Not sure it works like that.
Daphne Sullivan: I know, but that's the idea.
Cameron Sullivan: Well, it's kinda like food, you know? You... gorge yourself until you're sick. You swear you'll never eat another bite, and then... few days later, you're hungry again.

Harper Spiller: I think something happened. When we were in Noto.
Daphne Sullivan: Like what?... I'm sure whatever happened wasn't a big deal. And if anything ever did happen, you just... do what you have to do to make yourself feel better about it.

Tanya MacQuoid-Hunt: Poor Madam Butterfly... Seppuku. I can relate.

Quentin: ... I'd have done anything for him. And the amazing thing is after 30 odd years, I still would.
Tanya MacQuoid-Hunt: Well, whatever happened to him?
Quentin: Well, he got old. Which, though unforgivable, is not strictly-speaking his fault.

Rav Mulcair: We know. Is it good? Is it a good dot?

Johanna: Wow, thanks. We love anything cooked in a rectangle.

Johanna: This is Lyle, our resident physicist, freethinker, and all-around nonconformist.
Lyle: I find traditional methods of thought too rigid. Sue me!

Spike Martin: Um, I'm a bit of a maverick myself. Check the old neck warmer.

Iris Kimura: I can smell fear, and... is it burritos?

Iris Kimura: I am not saying hello to that.

Matt Spencer: Rav, the key to small talk is pretending that you have no sexuality and no aggression. Okay? Ready? Here we go.

Rav Mulcair: Ryan. Ryan. Ryan!
Ryan Clark: Sorry, I'm just internalizing a lot of panic and fear right now.

Ryan Clark: Guys. Listen, I'm gonna tell you something now, and it's very important that they don't know what it is that I'm telling you. All right, so...

Ryan Clark: Don't run but... run!

And it's not like I wanna carry water for them now they're pretending they never told me to do any such thing, but carry the water I will.

Young Sheldon 6×20

Sheldon: I brought you some snacks. For Mom, a Bavarian-style pretzel. And for Dad, four Lone Star beers poured into a pitcher to approximate a stein.
George: What do you want?
Sheldon: For starters, a danke wouldn't kill you.
Mary: A what?

Sheldon: If you were thinking of thanking, then you'd be denken of danken... You're awfully quiet. I assume you're denken.
Mary: W-Where are you going with all this?
Sheldon: If I play my cards right, Germany.

Sheldon: I nixed it.
Mary: You nixed it?
Sheldon: From the German nichts. The language lends itself to negativity.

George: This is not a yes!
Sheldon: But it's also not a nein, which German for "no", as opposed to the number nine, which is neun.

Mary: Is this trip really that important for him?
Dr. Sturgis: The string theory research they're doing is at the forefront of the field. This is a tremendous opportunity for Sheldon!

Mary: And the university would cover our expenses as well?
Dr. Sturgis: The university isn't gonna pay for any of it.
George: Okay, meeting adjourned.
Dr. Sturgis: Great. Well, let me know if there's anything else I can, uh, help you with.
Mary: Actually there is. Um... Would you tell Sheldon that he's not going?

Dale: Not all criminals are masterminds, Connie.
Connie: Okay, fine. What's your plan?
Dale: Until we track down the guys or girls... I'm a-I'm a modern thinker... I'll be around, acting as a deterrent... with my friend here.
Connie: Lil' Slugger.
Dale: Yeah. It only looks small 'cause I'm so big.

Dr. Linkletter: I heard you're raising money to study in Germany. Is that true?
Sheldon: Yes, but I'm not having any luck.
Dr. Linkletter: Oh, your luck's about to change. Here's one week of my pay.
Sheldon: Wow, thank you.
Dr. Linkletter: Mm. Whatever it takes to get you on that plane. I also passed the hat in the faculty lounge...
Sheldon: I don't know what to say.
Dr. Linkletter: I do. Auf Wiedersehen, you little rascal.

Pastor Jeff: I told the congregation about your exciting opportunity in Germany, and boy, were they thrilled to help. I've never seen the collection plate so full.

Oscar Martinez: I'm sure everything will be fine. What's the procedure, if you don't mind my asking?
Michael Scott: It is a colonoscopy.
Oscar Martinez: O-kay...
Michael Scott: In your experience, what should I be expecting in terms of sensation or emotions? Is there anything I can do to make it more pleasurable for me, or for Dr. Chaudry?

Michael Scott: Am I worried that Jim and David are having a meeting without me? No. Because we are the three amigos. And once in a while, one of the amigos will go off to the bathroom, while the other two have a secret meeting.

Michael Scott: If you're lying to me right now, Pam, your baby is gonna come out a liar. That's how it works. They inherit things through the breast milk.
Pam Beesly: Please don't talk about my breast milk.
Michael Scott: I just don't want you to lie to me. I don't want you to ever lie to me. Have I ever lied to you?
Pam Beesly: Yeah.
Michael Scott: I just don't want you to.

David Wallace: Are you sure you're okay with these new responsibilities?
Michael Scott: Look who you're talking to.
David Wallace: Just trying to figure out the best way to utilize everyone's talents.
Michael Scott: Well, I would say that my greatest talent is being the best man, woman or child to have ever run this branch. Ever.

Michael Scott: Permission to speak on the record.
David Wallace: Please do.
Michael Scott: Jim is like Big Bird. He is tall and yellow and very nice. But would I put him in charge? No. I don't think so. He... Big Bird doesn't make the tough decisions. If I was going to put someone in charge, I would put Bert in charge. Or I would put one of the real grownups in charge, like Maria. Or Gordon, maybe.

Jim Halpert: I tried to keep Michael in the dark. I should have known that he can do just as much damage in the dark.

Darryl Philbin: Why would you think a lady is me?
Dwight Schrute: Are you serious? Because you look exactly alike! Am I the only one?
Toby Flenderson: That's too far...

Michael Scott: I never recommended you because I didn't want to lose you. And I didn't want to lose Pam. Now I don't want to lose the baby.
Jim Halpert: So, instead, you screwed me?
Michael Scott: That's what she said.

Michael Scott: So, manager and co-manager.
David Wallace: Co-manager and co-manager. See, there are a lot of moving pieces and this is the only way I can sell it upstairs.
Michael Scott: Well, that might be a little confusing for people because they know me as manager.

Phyllis Lapin: What's happening to you, Michael?
Michael Scott: What's happening to me? I am also being promoted to co-manager. We will be co-managers together.

Three Thousand Years of Longing (2022)

Alithea: My name is Alithea. My story is true. You're more likely to believe me, however, if I tell it as a fairy tale...

Alithea: So, once upon a time, when humans hurtled across the sky on metal wings, when they wore webbed feet and walked on the bottom of the sea, when they held in their hands glass tiles that could coax love songs from the air... there was a woman, adequately happy and alone. Alone by choice. Happy because she was independent, living off the exercise of her scholarly mind...

Amina: So, Professor, you saying you believe in djinn?
Alithea: I believe there are those who need to believe in them.
Prof. Günhan: Including me?
Alithea: Djinn, ghosts, aliens, whatever helps.

Alithea: Mythology is what we knew back then. Science is what we know so far. Sooner or later, our creation stories are replaced by the narratives of science. Painstaking science. And all gods and monsters outlive their original purpose and are reduced to metaphor.

Alithea: I'm going to close my eyes and count to three, after which I would be grateful if you would be gone. One, two, three... Four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten... I don't suppose you speak English?

The Djinn: So, what will you wish for? What is your heart's desire?
Alithea: Now, let's, uh, not get ahead of ourselves. I need to take this slow.
The Djinn: I have all the time in the world.

Alithea: How come you found your way into my bottle?
The Djinn: Ah, it's quite a story. That was my third incarceration.
Alithea: You've been trapped in a bottle three times?
The Djinn: I may be a djinn, but I'm also a fool with too great a fondness for the conversation of women. I need to be more careful in the future.

Alithea: How were you caught in the first place?
The Djinn: By desire. How else?

Alithea: King Solomon?
The Djinn: Blessed be his memory. He came from across the deserts to woo her.
Alithea: Didn't she go to him?
The Djinn: No. Never.
Alithea: But it's in all the holy books. All the stories and the paintings. And Handel wrote music about it.
The Djinn: Madam, I was there. Solomon came to her. He began with music...

The Djinn: ... And so, I was cast into the Red Sea and languished for 2,500 years.
Alithea: Apart from sleep, what does one do in a bottle for 2,500 years?
The Djinn: Djinn don't sleep.....

Alithea: There's no story about wishing that is not a cautionary tale. None end happily. Not even the ones that are supposed to be jokes.

The Djinn: Hope is a monster, Alithea, and I am its plaything.

The Djinn: ... And there I am, left to my own oblivion, with no one to hear my voice, no one to know me, nor feel me, nor sense me. You can't imagine.
Alithea: Well, actually, I can.
The Djinn: Can you imagine the loneliness? How it might overwhelm?
Alithea: I can. We exist only if we are real to others.

Alithea: The thing is this, I cannot for the life of me summon up one eligible wish. And you're asking me for three.
The Djinn: Is there any life in you? Are you even alive?
Alithea: You know, in some cultures, absence of desire means enlightenment.
The Djinn: Then you are a pious fool.
Alithea: If I'm content, why tempt fate?
The Djinn: And you're a coward.

The Djinn: There is no human, no angel, nor djinn that wouldn't grasp at the chance to fulfill their deepest longings, and I am saddled with the one who claims to want nothing at all.

Alithea: You're electromagnetic?
The Djinn: As you are dust, I am made of subtle fire.

The Djinn: Alithea, how can it be... a mistake to love someone entirely?

The Djinn: All these astonishments, in less than 200 years...
Alithea: Yes, but, I mean, that's just engineering and technology. Despite all the whiz-bang, we remain bewildered. When we can't contain the chaos, we are filled with dread and panic, and we turn on each other.
The Djinn: But of course, you are human. That is your nature.
Alithea: Yeah. So, the story never changes. Hate prevails. It metastasizes and outlives love.

The Djinn: Such a mess of contradictions, all of you... Humankind, what a conundrum. You fumble around in the dark, and yet, you herd your intelligence to great effect. It is quite a story. Cannot wait to see where it goes.
Alithea: Or how it might end.
The Djinn: That too.

Alithea: Love is a gift. It's a gift of oneself given freely. It's not something one can ever ask for.

Chapter Nine: The Piggyback

Stranger Things 4×9

Yuri: What do you two lizard brains know? You're engineers now?
Murray Bauman: I know that sound is not good.
Yuri: On contrary, those noises you hear, that… it's very good sign.
Dmitri Antonov: Good sign, huh?
Yuri: Yeah. My women make noise when I please them. You don't know what that is like. I understand. But for those like me who knows what and where to touch, much noise.

Jim Hopper: ... Then there's dessert.
Joyce Byers: You gotta have dessert.
Jim Hopper: Gotta have dessert.
Joyce Byers: And after that?
Jim Hopper: I don't know.
Joyce Byers: Use your imagination.
Jim Hopper: Who needs imagination?...

Dmitri Antonov: Wait, time out. We're talking about the particles inside the prison? The prison that we just narrowly escaped from?
Jim Hopper: We broke out. We can break back in.

Argyle: We're not here for your tasty pies. You see this weird girl behind me? She needs a tub with a bunch of salt so we can enhance her psychic power so she can save the world from this super bad dude. But to make this salty tub, we require your kitchen.

Dmitri Antonov: I have a question.
Yuri: What if I don't want to answer?
Dmitri Antonov: Have you always been a coward?
Yuri: Yuri Ismaylov is many things, you traitor. But he is… No coward.

Dmitri Antonov: This isn't just about America, smuggler. They have warned us of a great evil in the world. An evil that does not rest, that does not respect borders. After it has consumed everything in their land, it will come for us. For our families. For our Motherland.

Argyle: Surf's up, Romeo. Oh, uh, too much flavor awesomeness can't overpower your battery, can it?
Mike Wheeler: Dude, this is pineapple.
Argyle: Try before you deny.

Dustin Henderson: Dude! Most metal ever!

Max Mayfield: How?
Eleven: I piggybacked from a pizza dough freezer.

Vecna: Don't be afraid. Try and stay very still. It will all be over soon.

Robin Buckley: I don't believe in a higher power or divine intervention. But that was a miracle.
Nancy Wheeler: Then we better not waste it.

Vecna: ...this is only the beginning. The beginning of the end. You have already lost.

Ted Wheeler: Are you hearing this? They're now calling it a doorway into hell.
Karen Wheeler: Great. More hysteria. Just what we need.
Ted Wheeler: Well, it's the news. Now indistinguishable from the tabloids.

Bull Elephants

The White Lotus 2×3

Portia: Is everything boring?... I just feel like there must have been a time when the world had more. You know? Like... mystery or-- or something, and now you come somewhere like this and it's beautiful and you take a picture, and then you realize that everybody's taken that exact same picture from that exact same spot. You just made some redundant content for stupid Instagram... And you can't even get lost anymore 'cause you can just find yourself on Google Maps.

Bert Di Grasso: ... The Godfather. You've seen it, right?
Portia: Some of it, I think. Yeah.
Bert Di Grasso: "Some of it?" Francis Ford Coppola made three of them. First two are classics, and they were shot right around here.

Tanya MacQuoid-Hunt: But ever since you found out that you're gonna have a lot more years, I feel like you just realized that you were gonna be stuck living them with me.

Greg Hunt: Couples don't always get along. You knew I wasn't great at this. I've been married four times.
Tanya MacQuoid-Hunt: Four?
Greg Hunt: Tanya?...
Tanya MacQuoid-Hunt: I thought it was only three...
Greg Hunt: Tanya. Four, including you.

Albie Di Grasso: It's because you're nostalgic for the solid days of the patriarchy.
Dominic Di Grasso: They're undeniably great movies.
Albie Di Grasso: Men love The Godfather because they feel emasculated by modern society. It's a fantasy about a time when they could go out and solve all their problems with violence... and sleep with every woman... and then come home to their wife who doesn't ask them any questions and makes them pasta.
Bert Di Grasso: Hey, hey, hey. It's a normal male fantasy.
Albie Di Grasso: No, movies like that socialize men into having that fantasy.
Dominic Di Grasso: Movies like that exist because men already do have that fantasy. We're hard-wired.
Bert Di Grasso: Mm. Comes with the testosterone.
Albie Di Grasso: No. Gender is a construct. It's created.
Bert Di Grasso: You spent all that money on Stanford, he comes back brainwashed.

Bert Di Grasso: Do we embarrass you, Albie?
Albie Di Grasso: No, it's just... I don't think... you realize how you sound sometimes.
Bert Di Grasso: They used to respect the old. Now, we're just reminders of an offensive past everybody wants to forget.

Tarocchi: The cards say your husband is in love with someone else. This card means deceit. He is being deceitful. And this card is beauty. There's someone beautiful in his life.
Tanya MacQuoid-Hunt: Uh, couldn't that be me?
Tarocchi: Not you.
Tanya MacQuoid-Hunt: Not me?

Tanya MacQuoid-Hunt: This is very negative. I can't believe I paid for this. 'Cause this is just really-- You are so negative! It's not supposed to be like this. You're supposed to-- This is supposed to build me up.

Daphne Sullivan: I'd hate to be a man, honestly. It'd just be so lonely. I mean, they're so competitive. It's like, can they even be friends with each other?
     Cameron and I went on a safari and, um, on safari, you see all these pods of elephants and they're all, like, bathing in the river and playing with each other and it's so sweet. But it's just the moms and the babies. Because when the boy elephants get too big, they kick them out of the pod. And then the bull elephant has to, like, wander through the jungle by himself for the rest of his life.
     I feel sorry for men, you know. It's like... they think they're out there doing something really important. but really they're just wandering alone.

Tanya MacQuoid-Hunt: Portia. Don't spend your life chasing emotionally unavailable men. Or you'll spend your whole life just banging your head against a wall.

Cameron Sullivan: Are you an angel sent from heaven?
Lucia: No, but these are expensive, guys. You will have to pay for it.
Cameron Sullivan: I got money, baby. That's one thing I do got.

Albie Di Grasso: How was your day?
Portia: Uh, pretty grim... actually. I feel like if I murdered my boss, I could argue it was euthanasia.

Gossip

The Office 6×1

Dwight Schrute: Parkour!...

Michael Scott: I hate, hate, hate being left out. Whether it's not being picked for a team or being picked for a team and then showing up and realizing that the team doesn't exist, or that the sport doesn't exist... I should have known. Poopball?

Michael Scott: How do you un-tell something? You can't. You can't put words back in your mouth. What you can do is spread false gossip, so that people think that everything that's been said is untrue, including "Stanley is having an affair."

Michael Scott: It's like the end of Spartacus. I've seen that movie half a dozen times, and I still don't know who the real Spartacus is. And that is what makes that movie a classic whodunit.

Andy Bernard: This is not the first time rumors about me being gay have come up. Twice before, actually. Just a weird coincidence... It's a little too weird... Almost makes you wonder if it's not a coincidence at all... Whoa! Which it is, of course. But it makes you wonder...

Michael Scott: Guys, guys, guys, you can't believe everything you hear. Like Stanley having an affair. That is crazy. There's no stock in it. It's a weird day for false facts. Just let it go.

Michael Scott: Look to the intern on your left. Now to your right. One of you will do exceedingly well in business, just unlimited potential. One of you will make a living and nothing more. And one of you will make a great mother. It's up to you to choose which you want to be.

Andy Bernard: You know, a baby conceived out of wedlock is still a bastard.
Jim Halpert: What?
Andy Bernard: Want me to say it again?
Jim Halpert: Why did that come into your brain?

Creed Bratton: Hey, did one of you tell Stanley that I have asthma? Because I don't. If it gets out they won't let me scuba. If I can't scuba, then what's this all been about? What am I working toward?

Dwight Schrute: Michael.
Michael Scott: Hmm?
Dwight Schrute: You told people that I use store-bought manure, when I showed you where my manure comes from.
Michael Scott: Hmm? Hmm?

Andy Bernard: Michael, am I gay?

Michael Scott: The one true rumor, and this is going to ruin this person's life, is that...
Jim Halpert: That Pam's pregnant.
Angela Martin: I knew it, I knew it. I knew it!
Kevin Malone: Her breasts were a tiny bit bigger. At first, I thought, "Oh! She has a new bra with padding." But then I thought, "Pam doesn't need padding." It just didn't add up, Jim.

Michael Scott: How long have you known about the pregnancy? A week? A month? A year?
Pam Beesly: Michael, we only told our parents last week.
Michael Scott: Did you pee on a stick?
Jim Halpert: I did. But it was inconclusive.
Michael Scott: You should have told me.
Pam Beesly: You're right. We should have realized that you are an equal part of this.

Mori: I learned that a company can describe their internship as full of exciting experiences, even if that's a lie. There's no regulation.
Megan: I learned that half these people's e-mail password is "Password."
Eric: I learned that a ream of paper is 300 sheets.
Megan: I thought it was 500.
Eric: Oh! I guess I didn't learn anything.
