Jones "I won't let it happen."

The Pallid Man "You know insanity and rationality might be on opposite sides of the animal, but lately, doctor, the snake is eating its own tail. And if you were to ask HIM, he would tell you that 99.9% of all species that have ever existed are now extinct; the natural order."

Nirat Anop: April “There is a thing we say when someone dies. We say it to the patient’s family. We say I’m sorry for your loss. It’s a path of a phrase, an empty one. It doesn’t begin to cover what is actually happening. It lets us empathize with our patients. Let’s us feel their pain ourselves. It protects us from feeling that pain. That dark seeking, relentless pain. The kind that can eat you alive and every day I thank the Lord.”

HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER, "She’s a Murderer", 12th February, 2015

Robert Fruin: Annalise "Here's the thing Mr. Walsh. You're not gonna trust me, that's just not in your nature. But you can stop worrying because... you might have forgotten this, but I'm your only option here. Without me, you'll go to prison"
Connor "That doesn't mean we won't end up there"
Annalise "No, it doesn't. But the odds are better with me" also picked by Bradley Adams, Laura Markus & Daniel van der Veer

Bonnie "You're not going to get away with this, Annalise. Not if you keep avoiding the police. Hannah's smart. She loves Sam too much not to solve this. And I know why you want to protect them, but they're sneaking off all the time to talk. You didn't do this. They did. Don't let them ruin you" also picked by Daniel van der Veer

Bishop "Well whatever happened in your past helped make you the awesome guy you are today."

Gibbs "Then can we hack into his GPS REM thingy and backtrace his memory deal?"

PARKS AND RECREATION, "Pie-Mary", 10th February, 2015

pablozky: April "When I started working for you I was aimless, and thought that everything was stupid and lame and... you turned me into someone with goals and ambition, which is really the only reason I'm thinking about what I really want. And I just wanna say thank you. And I love you very much."

Aubrey Plaza nails the emotional beats of her words to Leslie in a great way and it reminds us that Parks is about to end... I'm not ready for it, but the show is building up a great finale.


PERSON OF INTEREST, "Guilty", 10th February, 2015

Jimmy Ryan: Finch "Perhaps her plan involves a method of attack you haven't considered?"
Reese "I know a lot of ways to kill people, Harold." also picked by Bradley Adams

Reese "Give 'em hell Harry!"
Finch "Please don't call me that."

Robert Fruin: Fusco "Look, I get it, after what happened to Shaw you and glasses are worried the same things going to happen to me. You know what, it might, and I'm fine with that. You don't get to decide what or who I'm willing to die for. I made my choice a long time ago, so stop shutting me out" also picked by DarthLocke

Zoe "I think I know you better than you know yourself"

Bradley Adams: Finch "The cell records clearly place Chad near the house when it happened."
Reese "So? I hear they can be faked. I got a friend who can do it."
Finch "Now that's just cheating."

DarthLocke: Zoe "Harold, this isn't science. It's law. Rational thought doesn't apply."

Jack "What happened?"
Janice "Turns out I like bourbon."

Perry "There's Detective Janice Lawrence, the one who arrested me."
Ray "She's pretty."
Perry "I'm not a fan."

Ben "There is just no shortage of crazy in this town. Cults freak me out."


SUITS, "Fork in the Road", 11th February, 2015

Jimmy Ryan: Lewis "You're not a fraud Mike. You just never went to law school" also picked by Laura Markus

Laura Markus: Donna "Just because a person gives advice doesn't mean they have to follow that same advice. That's one of the core principles outlined in 'The Book of Donna'."

Mike "You don't trust me?" Harvey: "I don't trust you as far as I can throw you. You're a goddamn fraud." Louis: "That's what I said."


THE 100, "Rubicon", 11th February, 2015

Robert Fruin: Abby "Their blood is on your hands. And, even if we win, I'm afraid you won't be able to wash it off this time"

Octavia "Either you get up and fight this or you crawl away and die alone like a coward" also picked by Dahne

pablozky: Abby "Tell me this wasn't you, Clarke. Tell me it was Lexa. Please."
Clarke "I wish I could."
Abby "You crossed the line."

The 100 is at its best when it explores morally grey areas, so I like how these talk between the two reflect just that, as Clarke took an unthinkable decision.

Dr. Tsing "No... you can't..."
Jasper "I want you to know just how special you are to us." also picked by Dahne

This was so satisfying! After making their lives hell is just great to see Jasper deliver that line back to her as she is dying due to radiation.

Daniel van der Veer: Jaha "I believe this is what they call having faith."
Murphy "Nah, I just have nothing better to do."

Murphy "Touch me again and I'll end you. In a non-criminal way." also picked by Dahne


THE MUSKETEERS, "The Return", 13th February, 2015

sandi: Athos "My father kept a secret armoury, and I continued that tradition. A little battered, but just about serviceable."
d'Artagnan "Are you talking about yourself or that pistol?"

Aramis "It's a beautiful day. We really should come to the country more often."


THE WALKING DEAD, "What Happened and What’s Going On", 8th February, 2015

Sharon Seymour: Michonne “Don’t you want one more day with a chance?”
