3. Katie: "Tonight, in the tradition of pre-race meals, we carbo-load." Anna Kat: "How is this different from our regular Saturday night noodles?" Katie: "We're gonna eat more of it, and no side salad that nobody eats and I throw away feeling like a bad mommy." (Dahne)

Don't ever question your decision, Mr. President, because none of us ever did, especially Max. I'll leave you to it, sir."

1. Sherlock: "I think you should propose marriage." Gregson: "Excuse me?" Sherlock: "The sooner you pop the question, the sooner her treatments will be covered by the city's health plan. I think the time might have come for a new Mrs. Gregson." Gregson: "I-I think I just got whiplash. When I split with the last Mrs. Gregson, you told me to consider myself lucky.

Falling Water -
1. Taka: "I'm not a patient on your couch." Sabine: "Well you're certainly behaving like one, an emotionally stunted boy who can't stand his own feelings of helplessness because it reminds him of the psychic trauma inflicted on him by his now catatonic mother. Or at least that is what I would write up in my notes."
2. Voiceover: "Why do we create monsters - zombies and vampires and things that go bump in the night? Perhaps because the real monsters are too close, too familiar, too real."

Think of it as an elaborate Help Wanted ad." Cisco: "Will the test test their attitudes, too? 'Cause I'm not sure I can stomach another Wells with your bedside manner." Wells: "I care for you too, you jackwagon."
2. Wells: "Pass." Caitlin: "Wait, what? Wait a minute. That guy cracked the code and he wants to do it." Cisco: "And he's nice and he's not evil, and that's a combination of Wells we haven't had thus far." Wells: "All my life, everyone I've ever hired to work for me, I have trusted my gut. My gut tells me that's not the guy. Keep looking."
3. Barry: "I mean, it's gonna take more than speed to take down some of these metas. You've got to think, anticipate. When you enter a new environment, you've got to case every inch of it. You never run in blind. Oh my God, I've become Oliver."

Lawson: "You could just say thank you."

Pure Genius -
1. Wallace: "You see a lot of billionaire philanthropists, but you never see them follow it up with an eighty hour work week. So if I can even think of uprooting my life to come here, I need to know why you're here, why we're all here. Are we here to save the world, or are we all here to save James bell?" (Luana Arturi)
Rectify -
1. Daniel Holden: "When you are alone with yourself all the time, with no one but yourself. You begin to go deeper and deeper into yourself until you lose yourself. It’s a perverse contradiction. It’s like your ego begins to disintegrate until you have no ego. Not in the sense that you become humble or gain some kind of perspective, but that you literally lose your sense of self. And I’m not sure if anyone unless they have gone through it can truly understand how profound that loss is. It’s like the psychic glue that binds your whole notion of existence is gone and you become unglued. I think therefore I am, I think too much therefore I am not. I am not, therefore, I am nothing, therefore, I am dead and if I am dead then why I am still so goddamn lonely?" (Nirat Anop)
Scorpion -
1. Paige: "Take a deep breath, listen. I am raising Ralph alone and there are two of you so that makes it easier right there. Happy has her quirks. So do you. So what? Parents don't have to be perfect. They just have to be there and loving. So, you both gonna love that baby?" Toby: "With all our hearts. I already do." Paige: "So you'll be golden. Okay, buddy?"
2. Walter: "Hey, Toby and Paige will come through. Your baby's gonna be fine. I know Toby believes that I only think about myself, but I will do what is necessary to protect your family even if that means that I have to go back home to Ireland." Happy: "You are home. We're not losing you and we're not breaking up Scorpion. We'll do whatever it takes. You talk nonsense like that again, I'll punch you in the neck." Walter: "Toby's a fortunate guy. You know, I know ours isn't a real marriage but since the day I met you, you've been a faithful friend, you've come through for me when I needed it, you've helped me build Scorpion from nothing. That's loyalty, selflessness, collaboration. If those are the traits that one looks for in a spouse, then you've been a...you've been a great wife. Thank you."
3. Paige: "Well if I can raise a genius child, you can raise a normal. Trust me, raising a genius child isn't easy. I have five of them." (Dahne)
Supernatural -
1. Sam: "I mean she's trying to bury herself in hunting to avoid dealing." Dean: "And how do you know that?" Sam: "Years of personal experience."
2. Dean: "All right, so what have you found on Her Majesty's Secret Suckbags?"
3. Dean: "There's a lot of things that have gone to seed since you were here, but the variety in snack food flavors is not one of them." (Dahne)

Westworld -
1. Logan: “C’mon. Go black hat with me. C'mon. You got to, you know, save the girl, now give me a little somethin’.” William: “What is your problem? The second you leave the real world you turn into an evil prick.”
2. Man: “Excuse me, sir? I didn't want to intrude, but I just had to say that I am such an admirer of yours. Your foundation literally saved my sister's life.” Man in Black: “One more word and I'll cut your throat, understand? This is my fucking vacation.”
3. Hector: “What does it mean?” Maeve: “That I'm not crazy after all and that none of this matters.” (Nirat Anop)
4. Bernard: “I can make that feeling go away if you like." Dolores: “Why would I want that? The pain, their loss, it’s all I have left of them. You think the grief will make smaller inside, like your heart will collapse in on itself, but it doesn’t. I feel spaces opening up inside like a building with rooms I’ve never explored.” (Jennise Hall)
You're the Worst -
1. Vernon: "When you think about it, aren't we all special needs? I mean, we all have this set of ways we want to be treated, right? But the question is, is it real or is it just a reaction to life constantly disappointing us? Of course, we blame those who are closest to us for our misery, instead of taking responsibility for being unsatisfiable dick nuggets, we say 'Hey there, person I love, I'm unhappy, so clearly, you're failing me.'"
2. Vernon: "I know I mess around a lot, and I like to have fun, and Becca thinks I'm a baby, but I'm really a good person with a good heart. And I believe there is someone out there who will love me. Hopefully a Mexican with big naturals."
3. Vernon: "Picture it... Casa Vernon y Paul. Just the two of us eating shellfish and drinking Margaritas and Wizards. I could take bullets out of cartel members on the DL. You can be their accountant or whatever. We only get one shot at this life, man. She is killing my spirit. This is our only chance. If we wait it's going to be too late." (Luana Arturi)
