2. Eddie: “We’re sorry, dad. We made your 40th birthday all about us, but it’s supposed to be about you.” Louis: “Oh, it’s okay. Maybe I went a bit overboard.

It would just be machinery fulfilling its cosmic design. It would just be a big, dumb food processor. But since nothing seems to make sense, when you find something or someone that does, it's euphoria. In all this randomness and this pandemonium, you and Chidi found each other, and you had a life together. Isn't that remarkable?” (Mads)

2. Eddie: “Hey, where are you going?” Wendi: “That’s exactly what I’m asking myself. I need to be with someone who wants what I want.” Eddie: “I totally do. Just explain again what it is and I’ll want it.” Wendi: “You can’t do it for me. You’ve got to want it for yourself.” Eddie: “Then I’ll want it for myself if that’s what you want.”
Magnum PI -

It made me think about -- I don’t know, who I was when this started, when I went to war.” Michael: “Where I stand, nothing’s changed.” Alex: “Including the way you look at me. That’s a problem for me, Guerin, because every time you look at me I’m 17 again and I forget that the last 10 years even happened and then you look away and I remember all over again and it almost kills me every time.” Michael: “I never look away, not really.” (Mads)
