Tonya Papanikolas: Paul Coates (to Det. Carver) “You can accuse me, you can take DNA samples, you can ridicule who I was in the past.

Tonya Papanikolas: Kensi “I wouldn’t let Artie touch me.”
Deeks “I’ll have you know you’re not really Artie’s type, anyway.”
Kensi “I used to be.”
Deeks “What? What you mean?”
Kensi “Did you know I lived on the street down here after my dad died?”
Deeks “No, um, no, I didn’t know that.”
Kensi “You’re lying to me. I know Hetty told you.”
Deeks “Nah, come on, Hetty didn’t tell me anything. Actually she specifically said that she didn’t tell me anything.”
Kensi “You can fool everyone else, Deeks. Can’t fool me.”
Deeks “So you want to talk about it?”
Kensi “Not really.… Like I wasn’t even me anymore – just a different person.”
Deeks “Well, I wish I would’ve known her.”
Kensi “No you don’t.”

Kensi “Why do I always have to come up with a plan? What’s your plan?”

Kensi “Not likely in this job. Deeks, the only reason I didn’t tell you about being homeless…”
Deeks “Really? Is this the best time to have this conversation?”
Kensi “It was the worst period of my life. I made a lot of mistakes. And I only ever want you to see the best part of me. Okay?”
Deeks “Okay. Just to narrow it down for me, though, the best part of you – is that your ankles? ‘Cause you got pretty sexy ankles. Your feet, they’re alright. Your toes are a little weird. But the rest of you…”
Kensi “That’s exactly why I never talk to you.”


ONCE UPON A TIME, "Smash the Mirror Part 1/Part 2", 16th November, 2014

Nirat Anop: Henry "It must be nice to have magic and be useful."
Regina "What's that supposed to mean?"
Henry "I went out there to help her, but I couldn't do anything because I'm just ordinary."
Regina "Henry. We are each given our own gifts. You have the heart of the truest believer, you brought us all together, never think your ordinary just because you don't have magic, or claws or purple shorts."

Regina "You get a quarter from the 'Hope Commissioner' everytime you say that word, admit it."
Mary Margaret "I'm serious."
Regina "Well it's easy for you to say, you're a hero. Whenever you need help it just magically shows up like Henry's book."
Mary Margaret "I think that when you do good the universe takes care of you, that's why I shut up."
Regina "It doesn't really matter why, you're wishes are rewarded, mine are crushed."
Regina "I refuse to believe that happiness is impossible for you to achieve, you've come to far. And yes you may be sleeping with a married man but so have I."
Regina "I've done far worse than that."
Mary Margaret "Which doesn't mean you can't earn forgiveness, a chance at grace, I have to believe that."
Regina "If you do good hoping to be redeemed is it really good? Maybe evil is born. That's just who I am."
Mary Margaret "Regina, you saw me grow up, you know how selfish and shallow I could be as a child. You know what I've done since. You have literally seen my heart. You know it's not untouched. You are not all evil and I am not all good. Things are not that simple."
Regina "Well whoever is guiding all this seems to think it is. You're the hero and I'm the villian. Free will be damned. It's all in the book and we both know how it plays out."
Mary Margaret "Mmm, maybe, maybe not. Your stories went poorly because you make bad choices but now your making good ones. It may not happen as quick as you want it but if you stay the course your happiness will come."
Regina "You honestly believe that."
Mary Margaret "It doesn't matter what I believe, what matters is that you do."

Sharon Seymour: Regina “This could be the worst idea you've ever had — and you hired the Wicked Witch as your nanny.”

Charlie “Oh, snap – you like me.”

I went home, I got beat up, life went on, and I just kept praying for something to happen. But I didn’t do anything. Not a damn thing. Who I was with him… she got burned away. And I was happy about that. I mean, not happy, but… And at the prison I got to be who I always thought I should be, thought I should’ve been. And then she got burned away. Everything now just… consumes you."
