4. Frenchie [to Kimiko]: "I am sorry. For a long time I was trying to save you. I thought, uh, if I did, somehow that would make up for the things I've done. You never asked to be saved. You cannot absolve my, uh... sins. No one can. I know this now. So, I leave you alone." (Folie-lex)
1. Peter: "Were they all homosexual?" Des: "I don't remember asking them." Peter: "Are you homosexual, Mr.Nielsen?" Des: "Well…, uh, for the sake of convenience you should probably class me as homosexual, if that's...uh, actually true, I'm not so sure." (Folie-lex)
2. Brian: "No, Des. No. It is not your place to make objective reasons why you did these things, especially with this spurious logic." Des: "Whose place is it then? Is it yours?" Brian: "No, this book cannot be a subjective look at your life and your...your actions. We, both of us, we must remain objective, and if there are any lessons to be learned, it is up to the reader to decide, not us." (Folie-lex)
3. Brian: "When you first met him, did you believe him straight away?" Peter: "Yes I did." Brian: "And what went through your mind at that moment?" Peter: "Well I thought...Honestly?

5. Mother: "Do as I say, not as I do." Campion: "What kind of stupid nonsense is that?" Father: "Campion, do not speak to your mother that way!" Mother: "You are better than me, Campion. You are special." Campion: "I'm not special. I did a violent thing, and I'll do violence again if I have to." Mother: "No, you will not! You are a pacifist!" Campion: "You mean a pushover. People listen to you, Mother, because they're afraid of what will happen if they don't." (Folie-lex)

Mother: "You have your son. And now what? You think you have what it takes to be a good parent to him?" Marcus: "It can't be that hard. You figured it out." Mother: "No. My creator did. I am what he programmed me to be: A caregiver. A mother. What do you have to give a child?" (Folie-lex)
8. Sue: “I know that Sol is a lie. But I suddenly understood how when people can't believe their luck, they have to make up a God to thank for it.” (Elvis)

2. Ramsey: "You were taking a dive weren't you? You figured out I was gonna offer you a spot on the Oakland." Marine: "Yeah, well maybe I didn't want my best friend trying to trick me into a job I didn't want. You ever think of that?" Ramsey: "Ugh! We all thought you'd be the first captain from our class. You got the best grades, you kept us all on track. Now it seems you don't even like Starfleet." Mariner: "You used to do whatever you wanted whenever you wanted. Now you gotta check in with Durga every five minutes." Ramsey: "Because I love leading a team that puts their trust in me." Mariner: "Fine, but I don't love that everyone's always screaming at me to rank up and take charge. Why can't I just be a super great ensign?"

4. Boimler: "We can't tell you." Clar: "Whyyyyyy!? Why!?" Boimler: "Because we don't know! We never know anything! We're lower decks. No one ever tells us what's going on. We're not important enough to have anything to lie to you about." (Folie-lex)
1. Ted: "Is that grunt all I get to go on? That's okay, I'll give it a shot here. Uh, lets see. You are thinking about buying your first house. No, not that, okay. You just realised your dad might be a little racist." Roy: "Stop! He's in his 60s and he's from South London. Of course my dad's a little racist." (Folie-lex)
2. Ted: "Sounds to me like someone's trapped inside life's most complicated shape: a love triangle. Second place of course is the 'I just walked in on my mother-in-law changing into her swimsuit' dodecahedron." Roy: "Does my face look like it's in the mood for shape based jokes?" Ted: "No, Roy, it does not. But in my defense, it rarely does." (Folie-lex)
3. Keeley: "Hi, Keeley Jones, The Independent Woman. Would you please repeat what you just said?" Roy: "I'm over it. Can I take you out tonight? Please?... Uh, yeah, you."

4. Ted: "Come on, now. Being a role model's a huge deal. Don't you realise that there's probably a little girl out there somewhere rocking a tiny eggplant-colored power suit, and she's just dreaming about becoming a sports executive someday. She's gonna read this article and she's gonna think 'Holy smokes. My dreams are possible'." Rebecca: "And in this scenario of yours, little girls read The Football Financial Quarterly?"

Keeley: "Wait 'till you hear Cream. But first, I need you to close your eyes for me, yeah? Okay. Can you describe your Uncle Roy? Everything that you can think of. Go." Phoebe: "Well, he's my uncle. His beard is scratchy. He buys me ice cream. He swears a lot. He's really funny and I love him." Keeley: "Well done, Phoebe. See? I didn't hear anything about being a footballer." Roy: "Who gives a sh** what she has to say? She's six." Keeley: "The point is, you don't know what people think about Roy Kent. Secondly, all that matters, Roy Kent, is what you think about Roy." (Folie-lex)
