(Tonya Papanikolas and Dahne)

So much like each other, you know, these wild spirits. But, you and I, we had something more than that, because we were the ones that were alike. And we had a trust, and we had a bond, and you broke it. And, I don't know how you could do that to us. But I'm gonna survive this. I mean, I got to. It's my baby girl. But what you've done, I don't know how I'm going to live through this." (Daniel van deer Veer)

4. Sugar: "Everybody still breathing back there?" (Sandi) ~I feel this line from Sugar was as much to the audience as it was to the guys in the back of the truck. That was one hell of a heist!
5. Brock: "Listen to me. You have got to get as far away from that man as possible." Emily: "You don't understand. We have a connection." Brock: "Connection? No, no. You know what it is?

I had to look at my family, my wife, our two boys. I had to choose who would get the scraps of food I scavenged. Choose who should live and die. My wife wouldn't touch a bite while her children were hungry. She withered away before my eyes. At the end, I only had enough food for one of my dying boys. I had to choose between them, but I loved them both too much. So I tossed a coin and let fate decide. My youngest was saved. But a week later, he died anyway. Now, you also know what it feels like to condemn one innocent to save another." (Sandi) ~Leo Gregory was superb as Marmion, the man who had lost everything due to the King's (well, most likely the old Cardinal's) decisions.
2. Athos: "That was either a wounded bull or Porthos." (Sandi)
3. Athos: "I heard you broke a window." Aramis: "Better that than my neck." (Sandi and Dahne) ~Both of these are just fan pleasing one liners that show how much the Musketeers know each other so well.

1. Oscar: "He's not gay." Roy: "Are you sure? He seems a little gay." Oscar: "No, he seems incredibly gay, but he's not." Roy: "That's a shame. I always wanted to have a gay friend - you know, to just seem more evolved." Teddy: "You already have a black friend - what are you trying to prove?" (Tonya Papanikolas)
2. Felix: "I'm sorry. Is this bothering you? I'd choose a piece more to your liking, but it's hard to play porn on a cello." (Tonya Papanikolas)

1. Bash: "You may not have strayed explicitly but clearly you want more than you have." Kenna: "I do. I want a good life and a husband to share it with. I'm sick of being judged for it just because you want less: less comfort, less responsibility, less of me." (Tonya Papanikolas)
2. Mary (to Conde): "I am done being a vessel for other peoples' wishes and fears. I will not wait for a child or anyone to secure my life and future. I am seizing it. And in that light, what I want is so clear. I want you - at my side, as you have been these many months. I know it is a huge request and I urge you to think on it because if you say yes, you could be risking your life. Come to Scotland where we can be together - a new life for us both." (Tonya Papanikolas)

2. Dean: "My turn." Sam: "Dean look, we want to help." Dean: "No, no. With you in the ring, you'd just be a liability." Cas: "Dean?" Dean: "I'd be too worried about what he could do to you…or what I could. Plus I need you three out here to take out whatever comes out of there. And I'm serious. I mean whatever comes out." Crowley: "Happily." (Dahne)
3. Rowena: "You've got the crown, but you're no ruler. Not really. A sad, bored, wee boy on the throne who flew a** up the second those Winchesters, hunters who'd as soon see you dead as to have you to tea, asked you too. You're no king, not anymore. You're their b**." (Dahne)

2. Sam: "Have a beer with her. Just don't take her to a dive bar or anyplace where some drunk guy might try to grab her butt. It won't end well for them. And don't…do NOT get into a game of quarters with her. That won't end well for you."
3. FBI Leader: "If you keep this in your pocket, you can have your ball back."

3. Niedermayer: "Lieutenant, we're running out of time. We have to think of something fast." Backstrom: "Damn it." Almond: "No, it's time to think of something slow. We need to pray."

Elementary -
1. Sherlock: "Yesterday, you asked me why I held on to your apartment. You worried that I'm having second thoughts about your return here. I merely question your haste, the timing of it all, so I took steps to keep your options open for your benefit." Watson: "Do you want me living here or not?" Sherlock: "I do. I've never wavered on that. Even having you here the last few days has had a measurable benefit to our process." Watson: "Then what is it?' Sherlock: "For a long time I have argued that you should fully embrace the life of a detective. You've always had a valid rebuttal. I might not share your need for a more balanced existence but I accept it. Now, abruptly, my words hold more truth for you. You're rushing to shed the skin of your former self. You're abandoning your belongings as if leaving the site of a contamination."

3. Hakeem: "He's dying and you're worrying about an IPO."

2. Lindy: "Would it help if I drew a line with a Sharpie?"

Really?" Cisco: "Dude, that was like week 3." (Dahne)
Fresh Off the Boat -

Erica: "I am so damn stubborn that I almost ran away because I didn't want to put gas in the car." Murray: "Alright, so you and me, we don't back down. I don't see that as a bad thing." Erica: "You don't seriously believe that, do you?" Murray: "Oh yeah. When I was your age, I was a cr** student.

I got into Penn State and that's where I met your mother." Erica: "So I literally wouldn't be here if you weren't such a pigheaded jerk."

4. Milady: "What? You've never seen a woman before? From the look of you, probably not."

3. Oscar: "Trial separation? You were in couple's therapy for 8 years and the last year, you were the only one who was going."
Perception -
1. Daniel: "Go forth. Make bad decisions. Discover something."
2. Max: "You know I've been racking my brain trying to figure out why it is you won't talk to us and just right now I finally figured it out. It's got nothing to do with your disease or the surgery. It's about you being a stubborn a**hole, Doc."

3. Perry: "I don't want any innocent people to get hurt." Ray: "Oh that is such the appropriate thing to say but we both know that is a lie. You secretly want me to be the bad guy. That is why you went to Seattle to spring me out of the crazy house, because you do not have the courage to do it yourself." Perry: "That's not true." Ray: "Oh yes it is." Perry: "That's not true." Ray: "And it's okay. Just don't be such a nagging, little b** about it. Just let it happen. You want Beth, we have to break her bit by bit. She will start to unravel, weaken, make poor decisions. She'll start to separate herself from others. And I do realize that that this is not exactly the nicest way to treat someone you love, but I do believe it will all work out in the end."

1. Cain: "This may be hard to believe in light of what I'm about to do to you, but I care about you Dean. I truly do and I know I'm doing you a favor. I'm saving you." I'm saving you." Dean: "Saving me from what?" Cain: "From your fate. Has it ever occurred to you? Have you ever mused upon the fact that you're living my life in reverse? My story began when I killed my brother and that's where your story inevitably will end." Dean: "No, never." Cain: "It's called the Mark of Cain for a reason. First, first you'd kill Crowley. There'd be some strange mixed feelings on that one, but you'd have your reason. You'd get it done. No remorse. And then you'd kill the angel, Castiel. Now that…that I'd suspect would hurt something awful. And then, then would come the murder you'd never survive. The wound that would finally turn you into as much as a savage as it did me." Dean: "No." Cain: "Your brother Sam. The only thing standing between you and that destiny is this blade. You're welcome, my son."
