Quote of the Week - Week of July 19





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.




Agents of SHIELD -
1. Coulson: “Being trapped in a time loop, watching my friends die, helpless to stop it… it's not some time-space anomaly. It's a damn metaphor. This is my life now.” Daisy: “Does it not occur to you that I might know something about watching my friend die over and over again?” Coulson: “This is different.” Daisy: “Is it?” Coulson: “I will watch all of you die, one by one. Everyone I love.” (Maria Sol)
2. Daisy: “Does it hurt?” Enoch: “It does... a bit. But it's not the physical pain that troubles me. I am acutely aware that in my thousands of years observing humans, I never used to feel lonely. I have been alone many times. To be candid, I preferred it. But it wasn't until I met this particular team of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents that being alone meant… feeling lonely. And I don't care for it.” (Maria Sol)
3. Daisy: “Enoch… the team will carry on the mission. We will survive because of you. Thank you. Enoch: “You are most welcome. But, Agent Johnson, while your friends will indeed survive, the team will not.” Daisy: “What do you mean?” Enoch: “I have seen the future. Carry on this mission and cherish it, for it will be your last mission together.” (Maria Sol)
4. Enoch: “This is the nature of family, isn't it? I have seen it countless times on countless worlds. People arrive, so we celebrate, and people leave us, so we grieve. We do what we can with the time in between, but the cycle is always there. No one escapes it. Not even me.” Coulson: “Which means you're not alone. You're a part of that cycle.” Daisy: “Like every other living thing.” (Maria Sol)



The Alienist -
1. Byrnes: “I am surprised, Miss Howard, a lady of your bearin' should be participatin' in such hooliganism and lawlessness.” Sara - "A little rebellion now and then is a good thing, Mr.Byrnes.” Byrnes: “The words of anarchists and agitators.” Sara: “They're the words of Thomas Jefferson, Mr. Byrnes.” (Folie-lex)
2. Sara: “Should I have need for an alienist, I would not hesitate to ask Dr.Kreizler for hsi help and insight. but what the Senora requires now, Elizabeth, is an expert in the procedural method of criminal detection, because there is always a trail no matter the criminal's stealth or genius. And if you still hesitate to consider me professionally, I will remind you of the prejudice against our sex that could impede this investigation. Does it not take a woman to know that a woman who has lost a child is neither hysterical nor irrational and that she has cause to be as she is? That she must be heard? You need a detective, Senora, and a woman such as I with the resources and the experience. I see your pain. I see your suffering. And I care. I care deeply.” (Folie-lex)
3. Byrnes: “See, I make it my habit to keep myself informed. I read. I read the Greeks, I read the Latins, but the Chinese... the Chinese is most useful for learning. They got expressions for all manner of situations that might present themselves. Confucius, Sun Tzu... Great men. Great thinkers. The expression from the Chinese that comes to mind is this: "Sometimes you have to kill a chicken to frighten a dog". You are loyal, Lucius, I respect that. But mark my words, I will not come after you. I will come after your brother.” (Folie-lex)
4. Laszlo: “I can see that you are angry with me, Sara.” Sara: “Angry? I'm not angry, Laszlo. The word "anger" doesn't do justice to what I feel. What you did was a violation of my trust, of our friendship.” (Folie-lex)



Blindspot -
1. Grigoryan: “I know this is bittersweet, but… Ivy was your last loose end. I hope you feel you've gotten some type of closure.” Jane: “Thank you. And for letting us… see this all the way through to the end.” Grigoryan: “Of course. You should all be very proud of the time you spent here. The legacy you leave behind will not be matched. For good… And bad. We thank you for your service.” (Maria Sol)
2. Patterson: “It's been rough these last five years. Harder than it should've been. So many ups… So many downs. I wouldn't have survived if it wasn't for you two.” Zapata: “Same.” Rich: “I would've been okay.” Zapata: “Rich…” Rich: “What? I'm being real, man, I'm a survivor.” Patterson: “I love you guys.” Zapata: “I love you too. And… You. Somehow.” Rich: “Wow, way to ruin a really nice moment.” Patterson: “Oh, wow, look who's talking.” Rich: “Okay. I love you both very much.” Zapata: “To family.” Rich/Patterson: “To family.” (Maria Sol)
3. Jane: “What are you thinking?” Kurt: “That we're lucky. It's a miracle that we're all sitting here together. One wrong turn… Cutting one wrong wire. Could've gone bad. So many ways. So many times. There's some world somewhere… where this dinner never happened.” (Maria Sol)



Perry Mason -
1. Della: “I suppose I should thank you.” Perry: “For what? Helping turn his suicide into a more insurance-friendly demise? Forget it.” Della: “It's very easy for you to break the rules, isn't it?” Perry: “Well, the way I see it, there's what's legal and there's what's right.” (Folie-lex)
2. Della: “Quite frankly I find it offensive that you choose to mask your intelligence and decency with cynicism and slothfulness.” (Folie-lex)
3. Perry: “I think it mattered to EB. I think that's why he chose his own terms. Wrote his own epitaph. "Here lies EB Jonathan. Defender of all the innocent. Righter of wrongs. All-around good guy". Unless you're talking to his son. Here's to all the shitty fathers in the world.” (Folie-lex)
4. Perry: “What do I know about the law?” Della: “More than you think.” Perry: “Or nothing.” Della: “Somewhere in the middle.” (Folie-lex)



Stargirl -
1. Henry King, Jr., to Wildcat: “I am sorry. (to Stargirl) “You're right. People are good. Don't let this change your mind.” (Chris and Folie-lex)
2. Rick: “Way to go, Court. You've just given away our identities to the enemy.” Courtney: “Henry's not the enemy.” Yolanda: “Yes, he is.” Henry: “Look, if it helps, she didn't tell me anything. I read her mind.” Courtney: “Which he's not going to do anymore.” Beth: “That's only polite.” (Chris and Folie-lex)
3. Pat: “And you know Mike, I don't know if I tell you this enough, but...-” Mike: “Don't get all shaky on me big guy. I'm gonna go pack a bag.” Pat: “Well, I love you.” (Folie-lex)
4. Pat: “No Courtney. That's it. It's over. It's my fault. Losing your mother, that'll hurt forever, alright? But I can love with it as long as I know you're both safe.” (Folie-lex)



United We Fall -
1. Brie: “You guys don't have a date night?” Jo: “We're married. We have a date life.” (Folie-lex)
2. Jo: “Babe, how is it that you don't trust your mom with our kids and she raised you?”
Bill: “I don't trust my mom with our kids because she raised me.” (Folie-lex)
3. Emily: “Why are you guys dressed like that? Did you win a boat?” Jo: “Actually we are going out on a date to prove to your Uncle Chuy that we're just as good as he is.” Bill: “Yeah. You'll do this to Lulu someday.” (Folie-lex)
4. Jo: “I kinda can't remember what we used to talk about before we had kids.” Bill: “I think we ran out of stuff, that's why we had the kids.” (Folie-lex)



Yellowstone -
1. Beth: “I've made two decisions in my life based on fear. And they cost me everything.” Rip: “Hey, not everything.” (Folie-lex)
2. Lloyd: “You can't teach that.” Monica: “Teach what?” Lloyd: “Toughness. You're either born a willow or you're born an oak. That's all there is to it.” (Folie-lex)
3. Roarke: “That land is not your family's legacy. It is a relic that will continue to appreciate until your family can no longer afford it, and then you will lose it. Wealth is the only legacy left and you know it. Fight us and you'll lose all your money and you lose the land. Or be the smart business woman you are and make us a deal that creates a real legacy for your family. Five, six hundred million dollars. Generational wealth.” Beth: “I agree on all fronts Roarke. I do. And I wish to God that he would do that, but he won't. So we fight.” (Folie-lex)
4. Kayce: “It's gonna be a shit show no matter what we do. May as well do it fast. Less time for things to go wrong.” John: “Your logic is so flawed, son, it... hell it almost makes sense.” (Folie-lex)
