These are my favorite quotes from the past two weeks, mostly from shows currently on the air, but also other random things I happen to be watching.
Game of Thrones
Lady Olenna: The Lords of Westeros are sheep. Are you a sheep? No. You’re a dragon. Be a dragon.
Grantchester
Sidney: It’s one thing for someone to accuse you of not belonging. It’s another to know it in your heart that they’re right.
The Bold Type
Oliver: Real is good. Real is what makes you who you are.
Younger
Liza: You sure know a lot for denying you have anything to do with the stuff.
Redmond: Well, what else am I supposed to do alone on a Friday night after an entire bottle of rosé and seeing an ex on Instagram with his new boy toy in Costa Rica?
Killjoys
Gander: I can give you whatever you hunger for.
Delle Seyah: Said every gross man ever.
Wynonna Earp
Dolls: Neutral men are the devil’s allies.
Turn: Washington’s Spies
Mary: The man you are is a man who would do anything for his friends.
Robert: Those whose sit on the picket fence are impaled by it.
Orphan Black
Felix: My sister and I are orphans, you see, and, um, we could’ve ended up anywhere. We could’ve ended up in any family. And if we had, we would’ve been entirely different people. But my mum, Siobhan, this woman, come on, this woman… This woman, she chose us as her own. We are who we are because she carried two little London urchins on her wings to Canada. Watching her raise my sister, watching my sister raise her own daughter, finding my biological sister… it’s quite mad. It’s taught me that we are all… mysterious works of chance. Of choice. Of nature versus nurture. So, to my galaxy of women, thank you for the nurture.
Game of Thrones
Tyrion: She’s much smarter than she lets on.
Jon: She’s starting to let on.
Tyrion: Good.
Jamie: There are always lessons in failures.
Lady Olenna: Yes. You must be very wise by now.
Grantchester
Leonard: You always walk away when people need you the most.
Geordie: I don’t deserve to be forgiven.
Sidney: Yes, you do. We all do.
Preacher
Doomsday Preacher: What is more frightening than who we are and what we done?
The Bold Type
Jacqueline: Don’t say ‘I’m sorry’ when you have nothing to apologize for.
Shooter
Patricia: If your friends keep getting you into trouble, they’re not your friends.
The West Wing
Sam: By the way, my Princeton Tigers could woop your Cal Bears any day of the week.
C.J.: At what?
Sam: Logarithms, possibly.
Broadchurch
Hardy: I might put you in charge of bollockings from now on, Miller.
Miller: Fine by me.
Wynonna Earp
Wynonna: Hell hath no fury like two bitches whose demon husband got shot by your ancestor.
Turn: Washington’s Spies
Abraham: I can’t abandon the cause now.
Mary: You’re my cause, Abraham. I can’t abandon you either.
