A weekly feature highlighting the best quotes on TV as picked by the Spoiler TV team this past week. We'd love to hear your picks too so please sound off below the article.
1) Elliot: "So this is what a revolution looks like? People in expensive clothing running around. Not how I pictured it. I wonder what stage they are at. Denial. Muttering to themselves. “No, this can be fixed.” Maybe bargaining. Forcing their techs to work overtime to try and decrypt our data. Or have they’ve come to the realization that Darlene encrypted everything with AES256, and it would take an incomprehensible amount of time to crack. That all of their data is actually gone for good."
2) Mr. Robot: "Is any of it real? Look at it. A world built on fantasy. Synthetic emotions in the form of pills. Psychological warfare in the form of advertising. Mind-altering chemicals in the form of food. Mind-washing seminars in the form of media. Control isolated bubbles in the form of social networks. You want to talk about reality? We haven’t lived in anything remotely close to it since the turn of the century. They turned it off, took off the batteries, snacked on a bag of GMOs while we tossed the remnants in the ever-expanding Dumpster of the human condition. Living in branded houses, trademarked by corporations built on bipolar numbers jumping up and down on digital displays hypnotizing us into the biggest slumber mankind has ever seen. You have to dig pretty deep, kiddo, to find anything real. We live in a kingdom of bullshit -- A kingdom you lived in for far long long, so don’t tell me about not being real. I'm no less real than the fucking beef patty in your Big Mac. As far as you are concerned, Elliot, I am very real.”(Nirat)
3) Mobley: "What do we all do now?"
Darlene: "Guys, this isn't about what we'll do tomorrow. This is about what we did. I mean, look at all these people. They're free because of us. Because of what we did in this room. We're finally awake. We're finally alive."(Nirat)
4) Shoe Salesman: "You sound just like them. Have some moral fiber and leave their asses. Their practices are well-documented and it's all despicable. Listen, this isn't my business, but don't drink their Kool-Aid." Angela: "Look I just needed a job." Shoe Salesman: "What kind of an excuse is that?" Angela: "You don't understand." Shoe Salesman: "You should hear yourself…" Angela: "I don't know who you think you're talking to, but I'll try the Prada's next." (Nirat)
5) James Plouffe: "You want me to be honest?"
Reporter: "Of course."
James: "You're right, absolutely right. The public should be worried. I mean, personally, my life is over. My pension, savings, everything has been in this company since I started here and that's all gone now. Truth is, I've been with the engineering team all week and no one knows how to fix it. In fact, about the only thing they do know for certain is that this will be impossible to fix."(Nirat)
6) FSociety: "Evil Corp, we have delivered on our promise as expected. The people of the world who have been enslaved by you have been freed. Your financial data has been destroyed. Any attempts to salvage it will be utterly futile. Face it: you have been owned. We at fsociety will smile as we watch you and your dark souls die. That means any money you owe these pigs has been forgiven by us, your friends at fsociety. The market's opening bell this morning will be the final death knell of Evil Corp. We hope as a new society rises from the ashes that you will forge a better world. A world that values the free people, a world where greed is not encouraged, a world that belongs to us again, a world changed forever. And while you do that, remember to repeat these words: "We are fsociety, we are finally free, we are finally awake!"(Nirat)
7) White Rose: "The infamous Emperor Nero played an instrument very simular to the one she's playing, the lyre. Legend has it that he played it merrily as he ... watched Rome burn."(Nirat)
8) Mobley: "You know, I’ve run all the scenarios of our little revolution here but using a dead puppy oven was not on my list."(Nirat)
9) Mr. Robot: "You’re losing it, kiddo. I'm only supposed to be your prophet. You're supposed to be my God."(Nirat)
Jane is stressing; Maura is trying to give her some advice.
1) Maura: "Maybe it will help if you lean into your discomfort." Jane: "The same way you lean into your stilettos."
Maura : "Yes, except the leaning in your about to do doesn't make your butt look great." (Donna Chidley)
1) Jake: "You have a landline? What is this, 1996?"(This is of course a meta nod to the year the original "Scream" movie was released.) (popcultureguy)
2) Audrey: "You know, I kind of like this whole real human thing you got going on." Brooke: "Are you flirting with me?"
Audrey: "You wish."
3) Kieran: "You know what, if you can't hear me, and trust me, then Branson won. Even sitting in his jail cell, he beat you."
4) Emma: "The killer called. He said that tonight's the finale." Noah: "Of course he did. A big ill advised Halloween dance."
