2. Benny: “You two look like a pair of breathalyzer tests waiting to happen.”
3. Dr. Julia: “Again, there is no ‘my side’ of the story. There is what happened and there is what did not happen. There is truth and fact and there is falsehood. You can’t spin the truth, you cannot polish it up, or put lipstick on a pig, which is what I feel like you’re trying to do to me right now. I am what I am.”
Charmed -
1. Galvin: “And Harry, who's your ‘white person,’ went with them?” Macy: “Whitelighter, though both are technically correct.” (Mads)

3. Fallon: “Liam and I are over which means that Serena van der Woodsen knock-off gets him.” (Mads)
Fresh Off the Boat -
1. Marvin: “But the 40th is different, Jessica. You begin to see life in an entirely new way. Like my old diesel mechanic used to say, ‘On that day, you're not over the hill. You’re on top of it.’ “
2. Eddie: “We’re sorry, dad. We made your 40th birthday all about us, but it’s supposed to be about you.” Louis: “Oh, it’s okay. Maybe I went a bit overboard.

2. Janet: “The more human I become, the less things make sense. But that's part of the fun, right?” Eleanor: “What do you mean?” Janet: “If there were an answer I could give you to how the universe works, it wouldn't be special. It would just be machinery fulfilling its cosmic design. It would just be a big, dumb food processor. But since nothing seems to make sense, when you find something or someone that does, it's euphoria. In all this randomness and this pandemonium, you and Chidi found each other, and you had a life together. Isn't that remarkable?” (Mads)
3. Eleanor: “Chidi tricked me into reading Paradise Lost by telling me Satan was, and I quote, ‘my type.’ A big, mean, bald guy with a goatee. I mean, he wasn't wrong.” Janet: “Oh, no. That's very on brand for you.” (Mads)
The Kids are Alright -

2. Eddie: “Hey, where are you going?” Wendi: “That’s exactly what I’m asking myself. I need to be with someone who wants what I want.” Eddie: “I totally do. Just explain again what it is and I’ll want it.” Wendi: “You can’t do it for me. You’ve got to want it for yourself.” Eddie: “Then I’ll want it for myself if that’s what you want.”
Magnum PI -
1. Magnum: “The thing about losing a loved one is that it makes you appreciate the people who really matter in life - Rick, TC, Kumu, even Higgins. It was devastating after I lost my family. All I can think about now is how lucky I am to have found another.”
2. TC: “What are you doing?” Rick: “Oh, I don’t want them to watch. You see...uh, they’re chickens and that’s a grill. That’s basically like an electric chair to them.” TK: “You’ve got issues.”

Amy: "And then you decided it would be a great time to pass out." Brad: "I didn't decided to pass out." Amy: "You said you wouldn't leave me." Brad: "I didn't leave you." Amy: "Passing out was leaving me. I thought you were dead." Brad: "I'm not dead." Amy: "Good. Cause you don't get to die, and you don't get to pass out, and you don't get to not have a plan." Brad: "Okay." Amy: "And you owe me a unicorn." Brad: "Fine. Fine. Do I get anything out of this deal?" Amy: "You don't leave me and I don't leave you." (Prpleight)

1. Sales Clerk: “Why don’t you get your hubby to drop by tomorrow so he and I can talk? It will take some explaining.” Mimi: “Unfortunately, the hubby is out of town and the wifey would like to surprise him when he gets back.

Roswell, New Mexico -
1. Alex: “I spent the night with some old friends. It made me think about -- I don’t know, who I was when this started, when I went to war.” Michael: “Where I stand, nothing’s changed.” Alex: “Including the way you look at me. That’s a problem for me, Guerin, because every time you look at me I’m 17 again and I forget that the last 10 years even happened and then you look away and I remember all over again and it almost kills me every time.” Michael: “I never look away, not really.” (Mads)
SEAL Team -
1. Sonny: "This op wins the Sonny Quinn nightmare mission award. Swimming? Check. Freezing? Check. Climbing over sharp volcanic rock? That's a check. Getting shot at? Check. Now, last but not least sitting in a tube that's tighter than Shamu's keister. Check." (Prpleight)
2. Blackburn: "No, Master Chief, you will not! You will stay here and wait until the man that the United States Navy has given command of a billion-dollar boat to decides that he wants to talk to you. If and when that ever happens you will address him as a senior enlisted sailor is required to." ~~~We never get to see this side of Blackburn. (Prpleight)

Speechless -
1. Dylan: “What's the matter? Are you afraid of a little Mageddon?” Maya: “What?” Dylan: “Our Mageddon. The one you talked about if we ever fought? 'Cause, lady, this ain't just my Mageddon.” Joyce: “What does she think a "Mageddon" is?” (Mads)
2. Ray: “This girl told me that if she didn't date until she was 30, a witch would give her her parents back. Creative, right?” (Mads)
