Aquarius -

3. Sam: "And the young genius never wondered why I went to look for a payphone with the radio in the car? Yep, this country's gonna be in good hands."

5. Mike: "Would you please be careful? It's a Martin." Sam: "It's a knockoff."
6. Sam: "You want to see scary, keep your foot right where it is."

Battle Creek -
1. Meredith: "I work with people who have sex in rooms monitored by cameras. Keeping secrets clearly isn't their strong suit."
2. Font: "The Feds wouldn't tell me anything, but Google did."
3. Milt: "No, no, no, don't do it. He's not FBI. He's local police. He's got nothing to do with this." Brock: "I know. Go. Walk." Milt: "Just go, Russ. Do what he says." Russ: "I'm not going anywhere. You're my partner."
4. Milt: "Just relax. Let me handle this." Russ: "Relax? What do you mean? Like you handled everything back at the motel? What, are you crazy?" Milt: "I wasn't expecting him." Russ: "What do you mean you weren't expecting him? We were there specifically looking for him. What are you talking about?"
5. Russ: "Milt, you and I have been staking out your apartment for the past 3 hours and you haven't seen him, which means he's not stalking you anymore, which means maybe it's time we start stalking him."
6. Milt: "Take it. You have every right to want to kill me. I deserve to die. Your son was a good kid. He was a really good kid and if I thought for one second it would bring him back, I would take that gun, I would put it to my head, and I would pull the trigger. Hell if I thought I would give you just a moment of peace that would be reason enough, but it won't. So the only thing that I can do is the thing that I've done for the last 6 years. I want to balance the scales. I want to do enough good in my life to try to outweigh the bad, but I doubt I'll ever get close. I'd like to keep trying, but I don't have the right to demand that time. You've earned the right to stop me."

2. Daenerys: "Get him out of my sight." Jorah: "Khaleesi please, I just need a moment of your time. I brought you a gift." Tyrion: "It's true, he has." Daenerys: "Who are you?" Tyrion: "I am the gift. It's a pleasure to meet you, your grace. My name is Tyrion Lannister.” (Nirat Anop and Milo MJ)

Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell -

Norrell "Carry them about?! No! No, they must be in a library. No, you must put them in a library in a castle. It is so very dirty abroad." Pole "They shall be little use to him in a library, sir. He will be in camps and on battlefields and so must they." Norrell "Can, can, can we not have some sort of, iron box made?" (Sandi)
3. Lady Pole "I should warn you, I have made many attempts to tell people of what has been done and I have not yet succeeded.

(She struggles to say the correct words) "He woke to find the carpet covered in legions of tiny people, about two inches high. They rode white polecats and were battling with knives and forks.....I'm sorry, that is not what I meant to say." Stephen "Madam, may I implore you deeply to say nothing of what you've heard here today? When anyone new comes to the house, Lady Pole is excited to these outlandish speeches. It is of great distress to Sir Walter that anyone should know of this private grief." Lady Pole "I hope they will let you come again, Mrs. Strange. I see no-one. Or rather I see roomfuls of people and not a Christian amongst them." (Sandi)

3. Ollie: "I feel like things have been awkward between us. Don't you?" Elliot: "I'm okay with it being awkward between us."
4. Cryptic Man: "You don't take down a conglomerate by shooting them in the heart. That's the thing about conglomerates. They don't have hearts. You take them down limb by limb. As they unravel, their illusion of control unravels."
