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)
2. Catherine: “Do you know what I hold in my hand? Absolute power!” (DJRiter)
3. Catherine: “Let him nibble on it with his tea. He’s good at eating his words.“ (DJRiter)

2. Carson: “You’re right. You’re not a kid, but you’re still my kid.”
3. Nancy, voiceover: “Did I just invite a killer to a sleepover?”



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.”
