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.

The Big Leap - Jessica 

1. Mike: "Am I really that predictable?" Wayne: "May we all be lucky enough to find someone who knows us so well." (Jessica and Dahne) 

2. Monica: "Sometimes things happen that require us to stop and reflect and feel." Nick: "I know." Monica: "Paula died. And no one is okay, including you. It seems to me that you can either make something beautiful in her honor...or continue to produce garbage television to chase ratings." 

3. Paula: "Hi, Mike. This is it. I assume it's just before curtain. Listen, baby...all our friends, everyone on that show, they're helping us go through something so hard. So, even if you don't want to go out there tonight, do it for them. Do it for me. Most important, do it for you. Be a part of something. And then keep being a part of more things. I wish I had something more profound to say. But that's all I got. Just keep doing stuff with people, 'cause that's what life is, my beautiful husband. Break a leg. I love you so, so much. And I want you to dance like I'm watching...'cause I am." 

4. Nick: "I'm renting a cottage in the English countryside for the holiday to see Henri. Come with me, all right? We'll stay for six weeks. We can put on wellies and we'll hike and shoot a 9-point buck and whatever else they do on The Crown, I don't know. If those dancers can walk out onto a pitch-black stage, and make something gorgeous...why can't we give us a shot?" 

5. Monica: "Not everything worked out, of course, but um...We did pull off something great. And I'm very proud of all of my dancers. I hope we get to do it again."

Bob Hearts Abishola - Dahne

2. Dottie: “Honey, what’s going on?” Bob: “I just feel like I could do more.” Dottie: “You’ve done plenty. You took over a business that was barely hanging on in a city that had already let go, and you made it work. No layoffs for 25 years and that was through 2 recessions. That’s an achievement.” 

3. Abishola, describing the articles that reminded her about Dele: “I thought about you a lot. This one is about a dance troupe in Ghana and this one is about how terrible the Detroit Pistons are. Did you know they were so bad?” Dele: “Yeah, I knew.” Abishola: “You should think about following a team that wins.” Dele: “I think about it every season.” ~~sentiments every long-suffering sports fan can relate to

Bull - Dahne

2. ADA Rob: “Cheese puff? They’re the perfect blend of chemical and crunch.” 

3. Guard: “Still trying to make it to Aruba?” Danny: “At this point, I would just settle for getting home.” Guard: “Well, get in. You’re making that flight.” Danny squeals like a teenager: “Let’s roll!” ~~to see the normally serious Danny squeal like a teen brought me joy

Chicago PD - Jessica 

1. Jay Halstead: "You want to protect your family, the city. So do I." 

2. Jay Halstead: "It's over. But it's going to be different now, you and me. You always say, 'Tell me the truth so I can lie for you.' From here on out, you tell me the truth. You bring me in...so we don't have to lie anymore. So I can protect you from yourself. You understand me?" 

3. Jay: "I, Jay Halstead, take you, Hailey Upton, as my wife." Hailey: "I promise to faithfully love you in sickness and in health." Jay: "In sorrow and in joy." Hailey: "From this day forward, I choose to join my life with yours." Jay: "From this day forward, I choose to join my life with yours."

2. Harry: “Where’d you hide the back door?” Mel: “Babe, no, no.” Harry: “He’s like family to Rob, which means he’s basically our family, and in spite of what the Feds say, I released that classified intel for one reason. I actually love my country, so if finding Bishop’s son means stopping a terrorist, it’s really not a…it’s not a choice. It’s an obligation.” Bishop: “Harry, you’re a good man.” Mel: “Yes, sometimes I hate how good you are.” Harry: “Yeah, sometimes I do too. For instance, now.” 

3. Robyn to Bishop: “Look, you’ve been going through this by yourself for too long. That ends now!”

Ghosts - Dahne

 1. Alberta, seeing her living stalker’s tattoo of her face: “No! Oh, don’t make me hate my own face, Todd, you creepy nut.” ~~This quote and the way it was said made me laugh through the commercials. 

2. Pete to Alberta: “Well, if you’re excited about being murdered, I am excited for you.”

Hawkeye - Folie-lex 

1. Kazi [translating for Maya]: "You rely too much on technology." Clint: "Well, my go-to weapon is two sticks and a string, so..." Kazi: "No she means your hearing aid." Clint: "Ah." 

2. Kate: "Oh, we gotta walk the dog." Clint: "You're not wrong..." Kate: "He's been cooped up all day. Not quite sure how long a dog can...--" Clint: "... to call yourself one of the world's greatest archers." Kate: "Oh my God. You really think so? I won't lie, I wasn't sure how I'd do under all that pressure, but I...--" Clint: "Probably should walk the dog, don't you think? Been cooped up all day." 

3. Clint: "There are several reasons why I'd never wear a flashy costume. My job is to be, number one, a ghost. Number two, my wife would divorce me if I put something like this on. And number three, uh...I'm not a role model. I'm sorry, Kate. I'm not a role model to anyone. Never have been."

United States of Al - Dahne 

1. Lizzie: “You guys are running away from home? Are you 10?” Riley: “How did you find us?” Lizzie: “With my eyeballs. You’re across the street.” Al: “I can’t live in your dad’s house anymore.” Lizzie: “So you decided to build a fort? Should I even be here? Are girls allowed? 

2. Al: “You never take a man’s remote.” 

3. Lizzie: “Al, aren’t you the reasonable one?” Al: “Mr. Al doesn’t want me there.” Lizzie: “He doesn’t want any of us there.” Al: “No, his respect for me has collapsed like a cup.” Lizzie: “Ugh, I wish I lived with girls.”

2.  Hailey Upton:  "But I'm still me."

3.  Hank Voight:  I can't have you in my unit if you don't trust me."  Jay Halstead:  "Then kick me off it. But why don't you go and tell the unit and the brass why."

The Equalizer -  (Dahne)

1.  Delilah, to the entitled, racist real estate woman as she posted a video clip to the internet:  “I just made you famous.”

2.  Harry:  “Yikes!  Not to be sexist but the women sure dig the true crime, don’t they?”  Mel:  “Well, focusing on the bad guys shows us what red flags to look out for.  You know, obsessiveness, run-ins with the law, men with lairs.”  ~She pointedly looks around Harry’s underground lair.

3.  Mel:  “But why the videos?”  Robyn:  “Because as much as these armchair detectives want to take him down, they’re giving him an audience, which is exactly what he wants.”  Harry:  “I mean true crime has become an industry.  They’re turning serial killers into celebrities and now every Tom, Dick, and Murderer wants their own Netflix show.”

The only thing I know how to do is be a cop. So can you, uh, just help me out a little bit here? Just give me something, give me a lead, give me anything."  Alan: "First of all, you are an a**hole."  Ray: "Yeah. Yeah, okay, you know what? You're right, I am an a**hole. But I'm good at what I do."

4.  Jackie: "I need a favour."  Ron: "No, you mean another favour. 'Cause the last time I checked you never got me that drink after I gave you access to the boat log."  Jackie: "Listen, I'll buy you two drinks if you hook a sister up one more time. And trust me it's fun. Cop-related."  Ron: "Don't you got, like, fancy friends at your fancy new job?"Jackie: "I need you to buy a blow job from a stripper."  Ron: "Sh**, why didn't you just say that?"

Magnum, PI - (Folie-lex)

1.  Kumu: "You can't give a person more help than they're willing to accept. Sometimes you just got to let them know you're there and wait for them to come to you."  TC: "And sometimes it's the people that push you away that need you the most."

2.  TC: "She just left him there. A 12-year-old boy, sitting at a bus stop, waiting for a mom that was never gonna come back. I guess if I found him...he would know he was worth looking for."

3.  Higgins: "Even if she does really love him, after everything that he's learned about her, the people she's killed, the lies she's told, I...- how could he go with her? His decision is...it's crazy."  Magnum: "Well, maybe it was not a decision at all."  Higgins: "What do you mean?"  Magnum: "I mean love isn't something you talk yourself into or...out of.

5.  TC: "Anybody can see that Rick would drop everything to help a friend, and that kind of loyalty can get taken advantage of. And I ain't gonna let that happen."

6.  Eve: "These rogue operatives made off with our most sensitive files, including yours. If the things you've done got out, the target on your back would be so big, there'd be nowhere on Earth you could hide. So if you won't do it for queen and country, do it for yourself."

3.  Lucy: "Look, last night was something out of a nightmare, and if you're not feeling safe being here right now, we can get a hotel or something."  Tamara: "I've slept in a lot of creepy places. Never had a badass superhero protecting me, so this is the safest I've ever felt."

He'll be in a better place, like Buster."  Adult!Dean: "I didn't exactly know what they were talking about, but it sounded like when my dog Buster had to go to a big farm in the sky."  Bill: "What?!  Boy, we're talking about stopping your granddad from driving, not putting him down."

Dean: "Oh."

2.  Adult!Dean: "As I watched my dad face off with his dad, I thought how great it must feel to finally get to lay down the law to your own father. But the look on my dad's face said it didn't feel great at all."

3.  Adult!Dean: "Younger and older generations always have more in common than it appears on the surface. We both want independence, self-determination, and freedom. Even if that freedom doesn't start until you're down the street where your friends can't see you getting dropped off."

2.  Christina:  “So you wouldn’t let us go to sleepaway camp because Bob came back a Democrat.”  Dottie:  “And a witch.  Listen, honey, a mother’s job is to control her children’s thoughts for as long as she can.”  Christina:  “I don’t think that’s their job.”  Dottie:  “It’s called love.”  Christina:  “It’s called co-dependence.”  Dottie:  “That’s right, sweetie.  You can always co-depend on me.”  Christina:  “Well, I have 6 therapists and a psychic who would agree with you."

Hightown - 

1.  Jackie: "So, yeah. I got 50 days today. And that's a f***ing miracle. I mean, I don't...I don't come for people who get sober, you know? I don't think I even knew what that word meant. I mean, my dad's been f**ed up my whole life. Uh, but he's cool. He is who he is. This isn't about him. I don't have to take his inventory anymore, right? Um, yeah, but for me, sobriety's been good. It's been good. The last 50 days have been good. I mean, it's been hard, ya know. Most of you knew Junior...um...you know, and I feel like...I feel like I could've done more, should have, you know. You know, he was...he was like my brother, but he was also one of us. Um, but here's the thing, I don't think he'd want me to dwell, you know? I think he'd want to -- I think he'd want me to keep moving. Because you--you're either moving away from your last drink or towards your next one, or something like that, I forget. I don't know.

I'm already doing it...I might be a little rusty."  Marina: "You practised so much when we were dating. Why'd you stop?"  Tom: "Well I asked you to marry me and you said yes. It's like mission accomplished, you know. What's the point?"  Marina: "Right. And I stopped pretending to care about Star Trek."  Tom: "You were faking it? Even with Wrath of Khan?"  Marina: "Which one was that?"  Tom: "Which...? Wow! Okay, I guess our entire marriage is a lie."

That was the beginning of the end."  Marina: "Yeah, your life really went downhill. You're stuck with three beautiful children...a hot wife..."  Tom: "No, no.

I didn't mean to betray you."  Tom: "Why did you do it?"  Sarah: "I don't know. I don't know, okay! I...I had feelings for a girl for the first time ever and...I was ashamed and confused. If I told you the truth then...it would have meant coming out and I couldn't even come out to myself."  Tom: "Oh. I'm sorry. I...I didn't know."  Sarah: "It's okay. You couldn't have known."  Tom: "No, I've been self-centered. I mean...this whole time I thought that Jessica was a chapter in my book, but...I mean, she's really a chapter in yours."  Sarah: "Thank you."  Tom: "You wanna...should we hug?"  Sarah: "No. Not really."  Tom: "Okay...Come here."  (He pulls her in a hug.)

3.  Charles: "You're not hearing me. I'm done! I don't do dangerous things! That's why I have a stunt double! I don't like getting hurt, and ever since you two have been in my life I'm surrounded by danger and pain!"  Mabel: "As opposed to nothing at all?"  Charles: "Oh. It's mean Mabel, who clearly has all the answers at 26. Please do share."  Oliver: "Christ, Charles. Cut the kid a break."  Charles: "She's not a kid. We only think she's a kid because we're old! And we should've known bett...- you should've known better, but you rushed into this podcast headfirst, like you always do, and you took two more bodies over the edge with you! Splash 2! An Oliver Putnam production!"  Oliver: "Well, that was mean. A great callback, but incredibly mean."  Charles: "I want you, and all of your things out of my place. All the evidence. I want out. I'm out... Sorry, I'm not good at confrontation."  Mabel: "Well, that was pretty good to me. And for the record, I'm 28."

4.  Tim Kono: "I was never very good with people. Never really felt lonely though. That came later. After Mabel...and Oscar and Zoe. The loneliness came after I lost all of that. So, when someone comes along and reminds you that we all deal with the same sh**, sometimes you welcome them in, with inhibitions lowered; with arms wide open."

5.  Oliver: "Okay, we gotta break the door down."  Mabel: "Excuse me? We weigh 125 combined."  Oliver: "Oh, thank you. It's the dips."

6.  Charles: "No. This ends now, Jan. You won't shoot my friends. Shoot me if you need to, but not them because I don't want to live in a world without them anymore. There were parts of myself that were dead that they brought back to life. Before this...I was just a hollow shell walking around and they made me alive."

The Rookie - 

1.  Angela: "Maybe I should extend my leave. Spend a little more time with Jack."  Wesley: "I think that's a great idea."  Angela: "Because you don't want me to go back to work? Because you want me to quit being a detective and focus on what really matters? Because you think I won't fulfill my mom potential if I'm at crime scenes all day?"  Wesley: "Wow. Where did that come from?"  Angela: "I don't know. Clearly I'm a little conflicted about going back to work."

2.  Nolan: "Hello! Didn't I see you guys on a milk carton?"  Aaron: "I don't get it."  Harper: "Cause we were considered missing."  Nolan: "They used to put pictures of missing kids on milk cartons."  Lucy: "Yes, in the 80s."  Nolan: "Yes, in the 80s. How did I end up the punch line?"

3.  Lucy: "You should have just asked me."  Tim: "I was doing you a favour."  Lucy: "Yeah? How? By telling the entire station that you would rather ride with Smitty than me, your old boot?"  Tim: "Look, some would see it as a demotion for you. You're back with your training officer. Others might read...something else into it."  Lucy: "Wha-Why? Because I'm a girl and you're a boy?"  Tim: "A very handsome boy."  Lucy: "Oh, gag. Look I really appreciate the intention, but screw what anyone else thinks. Being a sergeant’s aide would...-"  Tim: "Go-fer."  Lucy: "... aide, would make me stand out come promotion time. That alone makes it worth putting up with your Tim tests, and old-school code of honour... again."  Tim: "So you're saying you want the job?"  Lucy: "If you're saying you want me to do it."  Tim: "What the hell. Let’s do it."

4.  Nolan: "There's a security panel here, but I've never seen the design before."  Tim: "What does it say?"  Nolan: "I couldn't tell you. The writing's in Cyrillic."  (He presses a button and the house goes into lockdown.)  Tim: " ''I don't know what the button says, so I'll just push it''?"  Nolan: "Definitely rethinking that decision right now."

5.  Lopez: "Why is it pumping so hard?”  Harper: "Uh, paranoid me thinks it is a society-wide plot to push us out of the workforce."  Lopez: "And not-paranoid you?"  Harper: "I don't listen to her. She's too naive."

6.  Nolan: "The right person...with a stellar reputation, who understands the issues, who believes in reform..."  Harper: "No no no no no. No chance at all."  Nolan: "Oh come on! You would be so great at it, and everybody would vote for you."  Harper: "Running means campaigning."  Nolan: "Yeah."  Harper: "And campaigning means being nice to people."  Nolan: "Right. What was I thinking?"  Harper: "You weren't."

Star Trek: Lower Decks  - 

1.  Boimler: "Oh oh oh! Then we get to line up in the hallway, right? And then we all applaud while the captain walks off the ship for the last time."  Tendi: "Oh! That sounds great!"  Mariner: "It sounds like betrayal, but with clapping."

2.  Cpt.Freeman: "You can't just bully your way into whatever you want. Why do you act like this?"  Mariner: "Because I'm a Kirk-style free spirit who kicks butt and it super intimidates people. You know that. That's why you've always protected me from getting court-martialed."  Cpt.Freeman: "You're not a Kirk. Kirk was confident."  Mariner: "So am I!"  Cpt.Freeman: "You used to be. But now the only thing you're confident of is that everything has to be a fight. You have to drop your defences and make some allies."

3.  Rutherford: "But what if I forget [Tendi] again?"  Billups: "Son, if you can't keep making new memories, does it matter?"

United States of Al - 

1.  Al’s considering becoming a Repo Man, but Lizzie isn’t a fan of the idea.  Lizzie: "Are you sure? People are going to be pissed when you try to take their car."  Al: "Have you ever driven PostMates? Let me tell you, people are mad all the time. When you get ice cream delivered, it is going to melt. Yell at science."

The Wonder Years - 

1.  Kim: "Per usual, I get nothing and Bruce the perfect first born gets everything. Maybe if I was fighting for the imperialistic, capitalist machine a sister could get a skirt hemmed."  Lillian: "Oh, sweetheart. It's ''if I were fighting''. If I were."

2.  Bum: "Bill, you late. Was it because you and the wife had a little...-"  Bill: "Hey everybody, my 12 year old son, Dean, who is 12, is with me for a class assignment. He's 12."

3.  Dean: "I started the day not knowing what my mom did for a living. Turns out it wasn't just one thing. She had to do it all, and she was great at it. But her wins came at a cost."

4.  Adult!Dean: "Being 12 in the 60’s was the equivalent to your 20’s today. We didn't have helicopter parents coddling us at all times like fragile teacups. That scar? Got it playing ''Follow the Leader'' through an abandoned construction site at recess. That mouthwash? Uncut would make you fail a breathalyzer test."  Bill: "Dean, I need you to ride your bike down to the store and pick me up a pack of smokes."  Adult!Dean: "I feel like I don't have to explain that one."

5.  Adult!Dean: "The Black church is one of the most important institutions in American history. It's been a home that kept Black people unified during hard times, a social and political center that sparked historic movements, and a training ground for a generation of leaders and entertainers. So much of what makes Black culture unique comes from its roots in the Black church. And I grew up in a time when it was just a given that you went to church every Sunday. All three boring hours of it."

6.  Dean: "So, turns out the girls have their own list of couples."  Hampton: "You went to the girls' side?"  Dean: "Apparently, I'm always on the girls' side."  Cory: "Did you at least let them know who we liked?"  Dean: "Wouldn't have mattered. Cory, you're with Tracy. Hamptopn, Tammy. Norman, Brenda. Act surprised."

What Else We're Watching:

Leverage Redemption (1.16) - 

1.  Parker: "Harry, you're the best bad guy who tried to be a good guy that learned to be the best good-bad guy we ever had."  Harry: "Thank you, Parker... I think...?"

Murdoch Mysteries - 

1.  Julia:  “You're lucky, it's just sprained. You'll still be able to write.”  Miss Cherry:  “Just sprained? This is my serving arm.”  Julia:  “Just keep it elevated and still.”  Miss Cherry:  “What are you doing?”  Mrs Hart:  “Making a sling.”  Miss Cherry:  “Hurry up then.”  Mrs. Hart:  “Would you prefer a gag?”

2.  Murdoch:  “You are one troublesome baby. Very sweet but troublesome. I have a boatload of work left to do and I can't take my eyes off of you for one second... I could... ooh. That’s too drastic. It could work.”  (He proceeds to lock the baby and baby carrier in a cell.)  ~~~I thought Murdoch would be good with babies; I was sort of proven wrong. But it made for a funny scene. As a note, baby Jordan later locks him in the cell.
