Quote of the Week - Weeks of December 15 and 22





A weekly feature highlighting the best quotes on TV as picked by the SpoilerTV team. We'd love to hear your picks too so please sound off in the comments below.



Bull -
1. George: “I love a library. I always have, and believe me, I get it. Libraries are like dodo birds; they’re gonna be extinct very soon. But I’m telling you, we’re losing something in the bargain, something really wonderful.”
2. Taylor: “Can you just call me? (phone rings) Damn.” Chunk: “Yeah, it sucks when things work, doesn’t it?” Taylor: “This is not funny. Can you text me now?” Chunk: “Seriously.” Taylor: “I haven’t got any texts either. Not even a poop emoji from my son.” Chunk: “Well maybe your phone’s constipated. Let’s see.” (several texts come in.) Taylor: “Okay, that’s enough. Clearly my phone is in excellent digestive health.”
3. George: “You feel them?” Taylor: “Feel who?” George: “All the ghosts. No, all the ideas, all the stories. You don’t get that looking at a tablet or reading a book on your phone. It’s actually impossible to feel alone in a library. It’s very quiet but it’s so damn alive.” Taylor: “You know you’re weird, right?”



FBI -
1. OA: “You went there every morning for a week. She didn’t seem interested. You didn’t take that as a sign?” Lyle: “I was being persistent. Some people would call that romantic.” Maggie: “Well, most people would call that harrassment.”




The Mandalorian -
1. Moff: “You have something I want.” Cara: “Who's this guy?” Moff: “You may think you have some idea what you are in possession of. But you do not.” (Darthlocke)
2. Kuill: “I bought my freedom through the skill of my hands, and the labor of three of your human lifetimes. Do not cast doubt upon that of what I am, nor whom I shall serve.” (Darthlocke)
3. Kuill: “I don't think it was engineered. I worked in the gene farms. This one looks evolved. Too ugly.” (Darthlocke)

Quote of the Week - Week of November 24





A weekly feature highlighting the best quotes on TV as picked by the SpoilerTV team. We'd love to hear your picks too so please sound off in the comments below.



Bob Hearts Abishola -
1. Tunde: “What is the point of living if you can’t have a cookie?”
2. Bob: “This is the thing, you and this guy have a lot more in common than you and I ever will and you probably should go for it.” Abishola: “I should go for it?” Bob: “Yeah, I mean, if it makes you happy.” Abishola: “So you just throw in the blanket.” Bob: “Towel.” Abishola: “Don’t correct me and do not tell me how to live my life.” Bob: “Look, I didn’t mean it like that. I was just trying to be supportive.” Abishola: “When you care for someone, you fight for them. You don’t just give up.”
3. Bob: “You want to put our mother in a nursing home?” Christina: “It’s way better than that. It’s more like a hotel for old, sickly people. A Club Med-icare if you will.” Bob: “Eh no. It’s never gonna happen.”



FBI -
1. Maggie: “You’re gonna have to help us out. You just woke up one day and said, ‘I don’t want to be in a gang?’ ” Jessica: “No, I woke up every day of my life saying that.”
2. Maggie: “Your Honor, I know that this is a legally complicated situation, but to me it’s pretty simple. Jessica Sanchez is an unusually courageous and honest woman and under incredibly challenging and dangerous circumstances, my team and I watched her continually put herself in harm’s way for the greater good and for the opportunity to live a better life. She’s the type of person that we should be bending over backwards to keep in this country, not deport. I believe we have a duty to protect her. We can’t just look the other way knowing that if she gets shipped back to Tampico, Mexico, someone...someone will take her life. This is not who we are and this is not what our country is about. Thank you.”
3. OA: “Well, bats and machetes have a tendency to make fights less fair.”



The Flash -
1. Barry: "Most of my life has been driven by my past, and now it feels like I'm living for myself." (Naomi)
2. Barry: "I don't wanna leave my family...or my friends. I don't wanna die." (Naomi)
3. Barry: "You're not my mother. You're the reason I buried her."
~~~There were so many great lines from "The Last Temptation of Barry Allen, Pt.1". I think these truly encapsulate his conflicted feelings about being The Flash and what the Speed Force is asking him to sacrifice once again. From sadness to white hot anger, Barry Allen took on an emotional ride! (Naomi)



God Friended Me -
1. Cara: “Susan left when I was a kid and she thought she was doing the right thing, but all I remember is that she was gone. You know, she...she wasn’t there for my track meets or Prom or when I went off to college and I would trade any amount of money to change that. If you do this, the only thing Liv will understand is that you left her. I’m begging you, don’t put her through that. Please.”
2. Susan: “What happened, Miles? I know how the God Account works. They always have a happy ending, so where’s ours?” Miles: “I don’t know.”
3. Trish: “I have been so worried about losing you to the church, I never thought about becoming a part of it - a part of your life as Bishop.” Arthur: “Well, I could use a chief-of-staff.” Trish: “Maybe a little less a part of it than that.’



NCIS:LA -
1. Sam: “Nobody likes a playground bully.”
2. Callen: “Is that for me?” Hetty: “Unless you’re leaving me to drink alone.” Callen: “Oh well, God forbid. To Mr. Beale’s safe return.” Hetty: “Mmm hmm. Do you think I made a mistake?” Callen: “Oh, with Eric?” Hetty: “Mmmhmm.” Callen: “It was a tough call. Um, look, he didn’t have to do it, but who else could have? I mean he had the perfect cover because it was real.” Hetty: “Would you have done it?” Callen: “I don’t know but it was not my call to make.” Hetty: “Maybe it should be.” Callen: “I thought you were grooming Nell for that.” Hetty: “Mmm, I did too.” Callen: “I don’t want your job, Hetty.” Hetty: “Neither do I, but somebody’s got to do it. Think about it, Mr. Callen. I won’t be here forever.”
3. Nell: “No, I don’t care about the job. Analyzing intelligence, manipulating the data - that’s one thing, but manipulating people as if they’re mere assets? No, I will never be good at that and I realize this now. Hetty, I can’t be you and honestly, I...I don’t think I want to be.”



NCIS: NOLA -
1. Pride: “Biggest case of my life. Feel like I’m failing. Like I’m failing Chris.” Gregorio: “Oh no, you’re not failing. You just haven’t succeeded yet.”
2. Jimmy: “One of the things that I admire most about you, big brother, is that you’re not afraid to zag when zigging isn’t working. You’ll figure something out.”
3. Gregorio: “You look terrible. I mean that in the nicest way possible.”



Prodigal Son -
1. Eve: “I’ve been meaning to ask. Your mother, how is she?” Malcolm: “Uh, no longer armed, still a little dangerous.” Eve: “Perfect. All women should be a little dangerous.”
2. Jessica: “Have you given any thought to a venue? First impressions are important. Your activity says so much about your intentions.” Malcolm: “Mother…” Jessica: “You know the opera sets a very romantic mood, followed by a long flight on a helicopter.” Malcolm: “No, tonight’s gonna be normal.” Jessica: “Darling, we’re rich. We don’t do normal.”
3. Gil: “The girl in the box was real.” Jessica: “Oh.” Gil: “Paul Lazar confirmed it. He told Bright there was a body in that trunk. He gave us her bracelet.” Jessica: “Why didn’t he tell me?” Gil: “He didn’t want you to feel this.” Jessica: “We denied his pain for years, and insisted that this girl he found was the stuff of dreams.” Gil: “Martin manipulated him and you.” Jessica: “It gets worse, all the time. I keep thinking that we will get through it, get through him, but it gets worse. Martin destroyed the lives of my children, myself, and every one of his victims. Maybe it’s time that I find a way to return the favor.”



Sunnyside -
1. Garrett: “Guys, my friends aren’t looking for special rights. They’re just looking for equal rights, so this shouldn’t be their issue. It should be everyone’s issue. Democracy only works when all of us actually care enough to make it work, because not caring helps no one.”
2. Hakim: “I promise you, if you come with us and get even one person to register to vote, you will feel a sense of inspiration that will change your life.” Mei Lin: “Why would we want to change our lives? We’re hot and rich and not smart enough to feel guilty about any of it.”
3. Brady: “Have you guys seen Garrett? He seemed pretty down and I’m worried he’s thinking about quitting the class.” Jun Ho: “Did his life get worse? How?”

Quote of the Week - Week of November 17





A weekly feature highlighting the best quotes on TV as picked by the SpoilerTV team. We'd love to hear your picks too so please sound off in the comments below.



Arrow -
1. Oliver: "I'm your father, all right? It is my primary job in the world to protect you." Mia: "We don't need that. In the future, we're the ones that are saving the city." Oliver: "Well, this isn't the future! This is months after I was heartbroken right before I left... that I couldn't get you on the phone at your grandparents'. So I walked into your room to look at you one last time, and you looked back at me from your crib." Mia: "And because you made the choice to protect us, I had to spend my whole life alone. I didn't have a chance to get to know my brother, get to know you." Oliver: "I'm sorry that it worked out that way. And both of you can decide on your own how much... How much you want to hate me and how much blame you want to assign. But I made a promise to your mother to keep you safe. And there... there is no world, there is no universe, there's no past, present, or future where I break it." (Justyna)
2. Mia: "Every time I try and live up to my dad or to prove that I can do what it is you all do, I... I fail." Laurel: "Do you think your father is any better? If you're trying to live up to us, don't. We are just as flawed as anyone, especially me. All you can do is live up to yourself." (Justyna)



Bob Hearts Abishola -
1. Kofo: “Mr. Wheeler, Goodwin and I are spicy tuna on crispy rice. Don’t treat us like supermarket muffins.”
2. Dottie: “You love this, don’t you?” Abishola: “Love what?” Dottie: “Being mean to me.” Abishola: “It’s not mean to want you to get well, but yes, I enjoy it.”
3. Abishola: “Finish your food and I’ll be right back.” Dottie: “When I die, I’m gonna haunt you.” Abishola: “You are haunting me now.”



God Friended Me -
1. Miles: “Gideon, I know you made peace with the God Account but Audrey needs your help.” Gideon: “I haven’t made my peace. I thought I did but...uh, six months ago, I was watching the news, and I saw one of my friend suggestions. She’s a police officer and she had just saved someone’s life. When I first met her, she was thinking about leaving her job.
I helped her reconsider. It just reminded me that I used to make a difference.” Cara: “You miss it.” Gideon: “Ever since I’ve seen that report, I’ve felt lost and shut off, disconnected from my family. I don’t know how to move on.” Cara: “Well maybe helping Audrey can let you do that.”
2. Rakesh: “It’s just this whole birthday thing with Jaya. She doesn’t want me there. I keep telling myself it’s no big deal but that’s just a lie so I don’t freak out, you know?” Ali: “Of course, but just so you know this has nothing to do with you and Jaya. This is about you. Rakesh, you’re not built for this. You’re not built to pretend you don’t care when you do.”
3. Audrey: “You’re asking me to trust the God Account? Is that it?” Miles: “No. Audrey, I want you to trust me.”



The Good Place -
1. Michael: "You're sure you want to do this?" Chidi: "I finally make up my mind about one damn thing, and you try to talk me out of it? I'm sure. Can I ask you a question? Soulmates aren't real, are they?" Michael: "Chidi, in all honesty, I don't know, but I don't think so. I knew what you expected to find when you got here: answers. Also, if I recall from your file, a magic blackboard?" Chidi: "One that anticipates your lesson flow. That's the dream." Michael: "But mostly you wanted answers. The soulmate one, in particular. So, I used it to torture you, which, again, sorry. If soulmates do exist, they're not found. They're made. People meet, they get a good feeling, and then they get to work building a relationship, like your parents. They didn't magically stay together because you proved they should." Chidi: "It wasn't my logic or my representation. It was the feeling they got watching me... this scared little kid telling them that he needed them." Michael: "It was also what you made them remember. You know, they loved each other. Sometimes people forget. You reminded them of what they already had. It convinced them to go to counseling." Chidi: "I never knew they went to counseling." Michael: "Yeah, kids are idiots. If they knew half the stuff their folks were up to, they'd lose their minds." Chidi: "Turns out life isn't a puzzle that can just be solved one time and... and it's done. You wake up every day and you solve it again." Michael: "Terribly inefficient." Chidi: "Wow, what a time to learn." (Justyna)
2. Chidi (in writing): "There is no ‘answer’. But Eleanor is the answer." (Justyna)



The Mandalorian -
1. The Mandalorian: "I gotta get one of those." (Justyna)
2. The Mandalorians: "This is the Way." (Justyna)




A Million Little Things -
1. Gary: "What about this family? My family. Because what you're doing is ripping us apart. Ever since Jon died, I am trying. I'm trying to keep us together. Man, I took you in. I agreed to be the guardian of your kid. And, D... I held you in that driveway. I told you he was gone. And I promised that I would be there and that we would still be a family. I have stood by you through everything, even when I didn't agree with you, because you are like a sister to me. I've spent so much time helping people through cancer and depression and divorce that... here's an interesting little fact. I lost my job! But I would do it all over again if it meant keeping us together. Because I can get another job. But I cannot get... another family!" (Justyna)
2. PJ: "These last few weeks, just spending time with you and Sophie and Delilah, I... I felt like I finally had a family. I don't... I don't have that anymore." Rome: "Okay, look, PJ, what does it mean to be family? Huh? You helped me bury my mom. You stood right next to me and Eddie and Gary and my brother because you are my family. Family's not just the people who had you. Family's the people who... who raise you, the people who love you. You don't think Mitch loves you?" PJ: "He lied to me my whole life!" Rome: "You heard your mom. This guy wanted to be your dad. He stepped up. And he... he might not show up in all the ways that you want him to. Hell, neither does my dad. But these two men are our fathers! And they are trying to love us the best way they can. And you know what? Sometimes... we can be a little hard to love." PJ: "No, it... it's just, for as far back as I can remember, there's been this... this weight, and I didn't know why. And then I found out a-about Jon and his depression, and I thought I finally figured out the reason. I thought I finally figured out why I feel this way. But I was wrong, and I don't, and I... God, no matter what I do, it's just... It's never gonna go away." Rome: "PJ, don't!" PJ: "What are you doing?!" Rome: "Same thing you're doing. A year ago, I was right where you are. Wasn't a rooftop. It was a mouthful of pills. Just like that script you read. Yes, man, there are some dark days! But there's also tomorrow. And I'm here for you! We are all here for you. I will not lose you. I will not lose you. I got you. I got you. I got you." (Justyna)



NCIS: LA -
1. Sam: “Deeks, you know you can’t go 20 days without complaining. It’s impossible.” Deeks: “It doesn’t matter. You know why? Because happiness is gratitude minus complaining. So less complaining, more gratitude, super happy.” Sam: “Yeah, I’ll buy that.”
2. Deeks: “Well, that’s interesting, Sam Hanna, because complaining, my friend, is a lot like bad breath. When it’s you, no, you don’t notice. When it’s somebody else, it stinks.”
3. Callen: “I’m very happy, and I’m going to be even more so when I finish this beer.” Kensi: “Seriously.” Callen: “I don’t complain. I’m...uh, I am grateful.” Deeks: “What are you...uh, what are you grateful for?” Callen: “I’m grateful that we took care of business today.” Sam: “Mmm hmm.” Callen: “I am...uh, grateful for...uh, luxurious accommodations upstairs.” Deeks: “Five stars.” Callen: “And I am grateful for my very talented co-workers.” Sam: “Never heard you say that.” Callen: “Well, I don’t have to say it ‘cause I think it.” Kensi: “Well, here is to the thoughts of G. Callen.”



Young Sheldon -
1. Mary: “There are more important things than money.” George: “That's cute. You should knit that on a pillow.” Mary: “Maybe I'll push that pillow over your face.” (Julia)
2. Mary: “I just want to keep my family safe.” Connie: “I know. But at some point, you got to let them go. And then one day, if you're lucky, they'll move across the street from you and absolutely ruin your life." (JUlia)

Bull -
1. Andrew: “The last thing I wanted to do was hurt another human being, cause anyone any pain. The only reason I was following him down that street...I just wanted to know why, why would he do that to the last weeks of her life but he wouldn’t tell me and now I know. He sold those weeks to a drug company for half a million dollars, but they weren’t his to sell. I mean, I really do regret that I pushed him and I really do regret that he fell, but I realize now regretting things doesn’t make you guilty of having caused them. And I didn’t cause this.”

Emergence -
1. Jo: “Do you understand what I’m telling you?” Chris: “Yeah, artificial intelligence. I’m good.” Jo: “Well, you’re taking this very well.” Chris: “Yeah, yeah. Probably later I’ll freak out and question the universe and my place in it. That sort of thing.”
2. Benny: “We’re close. I think.” Jo: “Close to what?” Benny: “A very good spot to bury our bodies.”
3. Wilkis: “I gave up everything, my entire life, so that this wouldn’t happen.” Benny: “Well, I mean, not everything. I mean, let’s be honest. This place isn’t exactly a hovel, is it? This is a very lovely Batcave.” WIlkis: “You think I want to live like this? I tried to do the right thing.” Benny: “I think you want to do the right thing, Mr. Wilkis. It’s the follow through that’s lacking. You can’t even destroy your own creation properly.”



Evil:
1. Grace: “You need to avoid the color red for the next seven days.” Kristen: “It sounds more like a fortune cookie than God.” Grace: “Sometimes God sounds like a fortune cookie.” ~~~David, Kristen and Ben interview Grace, a possible prophet. Kristen does not think some of her answers have enough "thees" and "thous" to suit her. (Katherine)
2. Kristen: “Do you have any idea how weird it is for me to be involved in this? I mean, I go to Whole Foods during the day, and at night I say things like, ‘Would you have told the exorcist?’ It's like I've taken a left turn into the Middle Ages.” ~~~David and Kristen discuss philosophical issues they had with the previous night's exorcism.

NCIS: LA -
1. Ricky: “They spotted the old bill.” Callen: “English?” Frankie: “We invented English. It’s our language. We can do with it what we like.”
2. Sam: “Enough of the rhyming, alright? I hate rhyming.” Frankie: “Suppression of our culture, that is. Wouldn’t hurt him to learn something new.”
3. Ricky: “Did they say where my girl was?” Deeks: “Well, obviously, we got interrupted.” Sam: “And they’re a little reluctant.” Ricky: “That’s okay. I can be very persuasive.”



NCIS:NOLA -

2. Sue-Ann: “This is it.” Chris: “You sure?” Sue-Ann: “That cabin was a horror movie in the daylight. I’m sure.”
3. Gregorio: “Sebastian, you okay?” Sebastian: “Uh, I’m...I’m covered in my...my friend’s blood.” Gregorio: “Yeah. We’ll get you cleaned up, get you some fresh clothes, all right?” Sebastian: “What I need to do...I need to get back to that cabin. You know, process the scene.” Gregorio: “We’ve got half a dozen law enforcement agencies scouring the area for suspects.

Prodigal Son -
1. Jessica: “So you’re saying that my children went to see their serial killer father in serial prison and it didn’t go well? I’m shocked. Truly.” Malcolm: “Please, enjoy your ‘I told you so,’ but even you could not have foreseen this.” Jessica: “This is what he does, Malcolm. He draws people in, gains their trust, makes them love him, and then when he has all the power…” Malcolm: “He ruins them.  Yeah, I know that story.” Jessica: “Yes, he may have ruined your childhood but he did not ruin you. You are made of tougher stuff.”
2. Martin: “Oh, I’m sorry. It’s as if you’ve all forgotten you’re locked in a room with a world-class surgeon.” Ainsley: “You can help him?” Martin: “Well, of course. It’s a relatively simple procedure. I just need a knife...uh, some sort of ET tube…” Malcolm: “You can’t be serious.” Ainsley: “Of course I am. He’s a doctor.” Malcolm: “And a serial killer. You want to give him a knife?”

Schooled -
1. Lainey: “There’s gonna be all these huge expectations. That’s not my thing.” Wilma: “Expectations? As in having someone think so highly of you that they assume everything you do will be amazing.” Lainey: “Yes, it is messed up, man. When I was a student here, I meticulously arranged my life so that no one would expect anything of me.” CB: “That sounds like a lot of work to get the result of nothing.” Laine: “But worth it. My teachers didn’t care how I did. They were just impressed I came to class instead of siphoning gas out of their cars.” CB: “But now you’re a grown up with an actual job, which means actual people expect you do actual things.”
2. Lainey: “No, don’t you dare. That song lied to us. No one should ever Hakuna Matata their way through life.”
3. Lainey: “Earl, you do know The Lion King is a hit Broadway show with a huge cast, big numbers, awesome costumes…” CB: “There’s also a stampede of angry wildebeests on stage. Simba doesn’t get tackled fortunately, but some heavy adult themes sure do.”



Single Parents -
1. Miggy: “We took my jazz and your marching band and together we became soulmates.” Will: “Marching jazz.”
2. Douglas: “Not Xander. Oh, when he was little, it was perfect. He used to look up to me like I was a superhero. Then he got older and I don’t know what the hell happened.” Poppy: “I don’t know. Maybe you were afraid that he would stop looking up to you?”  Douglas: “Well, I guess so. I was so afraid of losing my little boy that I..I actually lost him.  I screwed up, okay? And now it’s just too late.” Poppy: “It’s not too late, Douglas. You have to tell him how you feel. He doesn’t need this stupid putt. He needs his dad.”
3. Angie: “This thing is out of control. I’ve got to end it but I’m sad. People talk about positivity feeling good and I usually want to drown those people, but it...it feels good.” Poppy: “Oh, you poor, sweet, emotionally-stunted dum dum. You know you can still be sweet even when you’re not playing a flight attendant. It’s inside you, Ang.”

Quote of the Week - Week of October 20





A weekly feature highlighting the best quotes on TV as picked by the SpoilerTV team. We'd love to hear your picks too so please sound off in the comments below.



Arrow -
1. Laurel: "All of those people that you saw die, they weren't real to you. They were just copies of the people that you love... But that is my home, and those people, those are real people who are counting (Justyna)
2. Laurel: "How am I supposed to move forward, when everyone I've ever loved is gone?" Lyla: "By not giving up. By doing the right thing. We honor the dead by fighting for the living. This world needs you too." (Justyna)
3. Oliver: "If I'm wrong... If I'm wrong, then all of this is for nothing. Do you understand, Tatsu? I left Felicity. I left my children, so if... if... if the... if the Monitor can't fix this and if he is not here to help, then all of these things that I've sacrificed and all the things that so many other people have already sacrificed will have been for nothing. I need my family to live, which means that I need this to work." (Justyna)



Batwoman -
1. Kate: “If you wanted him dead, why wait until he’s in a bulletproof suit?” Tommy: “Because Bruce didn’t ruin my life. Batman did. Do you know what it’s like to have the villain of your story to be the hero of the city?“ (DJRiter and Dahne)
2. Tommy: “You’re not Batman.” Kate: “That’s the point.”
3. Beth: “All these poor souls, gazing up at the Bat Light, thinking, ‘My life is about to change.’ No. Still sucks.”



Bob Hearts Abishola -
1. Gloria: "Who's the lucky guy?" Kemi: "Or girl. In Nigeria you go to jail for being gay, but here they give you a talk show." (Prpleight)
2. Abishola: "I need to stop meeting with him, then the dreams would go away." Gloria: "Oh, no no no, that'll just make it worse. Whatever feelings you have for this guy will just pop up somewhere else, like Whack-A-Mole." Abishola:"What is Whack-A-Mole?" Gloria:"It's a game where you whack a mole and another one pops up." Abishola: "That is a horrible game." Gloria: "They're not real moles." Abishola: "Then why are you whacking them?" Gloria: "Okay, let’s start over. Whether you like it or not you got somethin' going on with the Sock Man." Kemi: "Or you will be whacking the mole." Gloria: "Ah, now, that's a good way to get back to sleep." (Prpleight)
3. Abishola: “My body yearns for nothing (groans) Maybe an Advil.” Kemi: “Well, if you will not believe me, at least talk to someone who knows about these things.” Abishola: “Are you suggesting I go to a psychiatrist. Kemi, please. That is American nonsense.” Kemi: “I was talking about a psychic.” Abishola: “Oh okay, maybe. Do you know someone?” Kemi: “I do. She’s dead but she’s still very effective.”
4. Gloria: “I’m sorry. You can’t be here when you’re contagious. That guy is one sneeze away from wearing a toe tag. (Abishola shushes her.) Oh, he knows. He gave me his watch.”



Catherine the Great -
1. Catherine: “It’s a mistake to ask rich people for money. How do you think they got rich? Not by giving it away.“ (DJRiter)

NCIS: NOLA -
1. Sebastian: “It’s just...I’m in my 30’s, living with my best friend, which is great.” Gregorio: “It’s great.” Sebastian: “It’s totally great.” Gregorio: “But…” Sebastian: “But, you know, I think I want more eventually, I guess. I don’t know. I don’t want to be a grumpy old man living with a grumpy old woman.” Gregorio: “What?” Sebastian: “You’re a grumpy young woman. You’re gonna be a grumpy old woman. You can’t deny that.”
2. Gregorio: “First comes love, then comes polygraph.”
3. Pride: “Look, I’m glad the team is gung ho, but I think I need to have a talk with all of you about self-care.” Sebastian: “Yeah, that will go well.” Pride: “A little pot calling the kettle black.” Sebastian: “I feel like that’s a trick question.”



Perfect Harmony -
1. Adams: "You still haven't told the line cook your name is not Jeanine." Ginny: "Oh, please, Ginny is a difficult name, and plus I don't want to confuse Athanasios Pappadopolis." (Prpleight)
2. Tinsley: “I know what you did. I don’t need or want your sympathies.” Arthur: “I wasn’t doing it for you. I was doing it for Jean. She asked me to look out for you.” Tinsley: “Well, she asked me not to kill you.”
3. Ginny: “Look, you two are both grieving so maybe instead of taking your anger out on each other, try to find a little common ground in your sorrow.” Arthur: “No, it’s not the same thing. I lost my wife.” Ginny: “Well, he lost his daughter.” Arthur: “How about I start taking your advice about difficult conversations when you stop hiding to avoid them?”
4. Reverend: “I was hopeful that Singles Night would end in a love connection but I’ll settle for a family connection.” Arthur: ‘That is not what happened here.” Reverend: “I think you doth protest too much. Hamlet said that in the Shakespeare play, ‘Everyone Loses When Your Mother Marries Your Uncle.’ “



Prodigal Son -
1. Malcolm: “Are you sure that guy’s not dangerous, because in my experience, people who lurk behind giant windows in nightclubs are up to no good.” Dani: “You’re profiling a window?” Malcolm: “That’s a bad guy window.”
2. Malcolm: “This isn’t real. You’re not real.” Dream Malcolm: “Yet here I am, nestled nicely between your basal ganglia and your cerebellum, wearing your dad’s cardigan. Nobody ever said the subconscious was subtle.”
3. Jessica: “You’re an attorney?” Eve: “I have a rather particular focus. I fight human trafficking. Finding funding isn’t easy.” Jessica: “Do you know who my ex-husband is?” Eve: “I do. Hopefully you won’t judge me by my exes either.”
