Supernatural -
1. Cole: "So if I dry myself out, the SoB wouldn't like that very much, now would he?" Dean: "No, he'd want the hell out. You'd be a hostile environment. Well, more than you already are." Cole: "Well to be fair, you really haven't seen my chiller side."
2. Dean: "Sam, I know what you're doing over there and it ain't porn. Look man, we have checked every website, okay? We've checked it twice. Sammy when we work a case, there's always that…that point when we have to face the truth, right? Even if we don't like it. Well truth is, there's no way around this. We saw what happened to Cain, okay? I'm not happy about it, but I've got to move on so I'm going to keep doing what we do while I still can, and I'd like you to be there with me."
3. Cole: "I appreciate the talk Coach, but honestly, all I can think about is slicing your wrist and drinking you like a fountain. Guess that makes me a monster, don't it?"
4. Cole: "Okay, so you've been to this rodeo before. How do we kill it?" Dean: "Worst case - head shot the person it's in. Worm crawls out. We stomp it like a bug." Cole: "Is there a version where you don't cap me?"
So what were your favorite quotes this week?
ReplyDeleteI liked many of those quotes from Arrow, The Flash, Agents of Shield, iZombie, 12 Monkeys, Supernatural, Grimm, and Once Upon A Time as well.
ReplyDeleteIt seems every week, Justified has some of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteBoyd: "'Cause I'm a bad man Loretta, but Avery Markham is a real bad man."
Tim: " Here comes the douche-mobile"
Raylan: "You got more balls than sense, you know that girl?" :
Loretta:"Ain't that what they say about you?"
Raylan: "It is."
Better Call Saul. Good one.
ReplyDeleteAll of Felicity's lines! She was marvelous!
ReplyDeleteDouche-mobile? I met have to borrow that one.
ReplyDeleteI know you don't watch this show but Tim gets some of the greatest lines. I'd put his snark right up there with Dean at his snarkiest. There just has never been enough of him.
ReplyDeleteSPN-Dean's line to Sam was utter bullshit not to mention majorly hypocritical, guess who has the most to lose if Dean doesnt get cured of the MOC? Oh yeah thats right Sam (and Cas and Crowley). Dean can give up if he wants to (thats nothing new) but he cant stop Sam and the others from doing what they think is right and he cant possibly think that keeping what Cain said a secret is either the right thing to do or the fair thing to do when he's telling Sam (the one who is actually in trouble) to no even try to protect himself/preserve his own life? If ever there was a more idiotic moment.
ReplyDeleteSUPERNATURAL: Dean: "Sam, I know what you're doing over there and it ain't porn.
ReplyDeleteXD Look man, we have checked every website, okay? We've checked it twice.
Sammy when we work a case, there's always that…that point when we have
to face the truth, right? Even if we don't like it. Well truth is,
there's no way around this. We saw what happened to Cain, okay? I'm
not happy about it, but I've got to move on so I'm going to keep doing
what we do while I still can, and I'd like you to be there with me."
One day I will watch Justified. Now I just need 15 more hours per day.
ReplyDeleteSorry for missing the deadline this week Dahne!
ReplyDeleteThe Musketeers
The whole of the Aramis reveal scene, but especially Athos' dry "and there's more..."
Louis: "I like this. It's very piratical."
Milady: "I'm growing tired of people trying to hang me."
Poldark
Wells "Do you know how hard it has been to keep all of this from you, especially from you? Because the truth is, I've grown quite fond of you.And in many ways, you have shown me what it's like to have a son. Forgive me, but to me, you've been dead for centuries."
No problem. I've been too busy several times when it has been your turn. Here's hoping life gets less hectic for both of us.
