A weekly feature highlighting the best quotes on TV as picked by the Spoiler TV team. We'd love to hear your picks too so please sound off below the article.




Agent Carter -

1. Peggy: "Is he a regular?" Angie: "Yeah, but a regular what? I'm not allowed to say that on the clock." (Tonya Papanikolas)
2. Peggy: "I'm just considering all the angles - it seems you have a lot of them." Stark: "That's the Peggy Carter I need." Peggy: "For what?" Stark: "To clear my name." Peggy: "Oh, you can't be serious." Stark: "I try not to be. Sometimes it just slips out, anyway." (Tonya Papanikolas)
3. Jarvis: "Your line of work requires support... People who care about your well-being, who'll be there to stitch up your wounds." Peggy: "If I allow people to get close to me, I'm putting them in danger." Jarvis: "So your solution is to remove yourself from the world you wish to protect? Where's the sense in that? There is not a man or woman, no matter how fit he or she may be, who is capable of carrying the entire world on their shoulders." Peggy: "Steve was." Jarvis: "From what Mr. Stark has told me, Captain Rogers relied heavily on you... For courage, strategy, and moral guidance. You were his support." (Justyna Kubica)
4. Thompson: "If you don't mind, these surveillance reports need to be filed and you're really so much better at that kind of thing." Carter: "What kind of thing is that, Agent Thompson? The alphabet? I can teach you. Let's start with words beginning with A." (Dahne) ~Agent Carter knows how to put people in their place and I love that about her.
5. Sousa: "Poor guy, I heard he got his personality shot off in Iwo Jima." (Dahne) - ~Sousa cracked me up several times and is my second favorite character so far.

1. Job: "You know I'm actually starting to believe in God, and I'm thinking that motherf*** hates me." (Bradley Adams and Sandi)
2. Job: "What is it with you? Is it a death wish, is that what it is? Because if it is, why don't you go out and get yourself killed? Why do you always wanna get me killed with you?" Hood: "It's a lot of money." (Bradley Adams)
3. Job: "Damn it, he got the f***in' money!" Fat Au: "Go get him." [throws him a rifle] "Have you seen me run?"
(Sandi)
4. Sugar: "Is that your driving outfit?" Job: "Yes, it is. And fortunately it's also my "don't take any sh*t" outfit. So whatever it is you thinking about sayin', swallow it and pour me a f***in' whisky. If I start drinkin' now, maybe I'll be drunk enough to handle this town in daylight." (Sandi)



Empire -

1. Cookie: "What I want is some respect, you little ungrateful opportunist!" (Ben L) ~What I loved about the quote is that Taraji P. Henson (from Person of Interest) showed a lot of courage to give her youngest son some tough love.
2. Lucious: "Now it won't happen today nor tomorrow, but I will start grooming someone soon and it can only be one of you." Jamal: "What is this? We…we King Lear now?" (Dahne) ~I love this response to a pretty pompous speech.

4. Maybe You're Not the Worst Thing Ever lyrics: Madalena - You're worse than crabs. / Richard - Worse than scurvy. / Galavant - Worse than lice or plague / Isabella - But truth be told, / Both - You're growing on me just like mold. (Dahne) ~I adore the biting wit and twist of the song lyrics in Galavant.
5. Isabella: "And how do plan on paying for anything, hmm? We have a priceless jewel we can't spend and a 6-foot hero we can't eat." (Dahne) ~Bwah! Where's a Subway when you need one?



Gotham -

1. Penguin: "Sir, I beg of you. My patron Don Moroni is obviously unaware of my predicament. A simple phone call would resolve things, I'm sure." Harvey: "But see - I like having you here because I can sit at my desk and look at you - it's soothing, like a bonsai tree." (Tonya Papanikolas)

A friend. For one night I will enjoy the same freedom as the most carefree peasant. Must a king be a slave to duty all his life? Tonight I'm just like you. [pause] My, erm, my tunic's come undone." (Sandi)
2. Louis: "How much further must we walk?" D'Artagnan: "Until we are certain we are safe." Louis: "When I was a boy and I was tired my valet would carry me." D'Artagnan: "My father carried me. Sometimes I'd pretend I couldn't walk another step. Just to be in his arms." Louis "That's only because you didn't have a valet." (Sandi)

1. Diane: "Oh look at him, he didn't know whether to run or wet himself." Rebecca: "I like it. Fear is sexy." Gibbs: "You two know each other?" [...] Diane: "Nope, he is not running.

Deeks: "I don't know what you're talking about with sex. I'm talking about Zen. I'm talking about being one with the universe here." Kensi: "Zen, he says. Zen? I think I know a metaphor when I hear one." Deeks: "Oh, you'll know my metaphor when I whip it out!" Kensi: "And there it is again." Deeks: "I don't know what you're talking about." Nell: "Hi." Kensi: "This is not what it looks like." Deeks: "What does this even look like?" Kensi: "You know exactly what this is." Deeks: "Kensi loves whipping out her metaphor." ..... Eric: "Hey, have you ever tried group Zen?" Deeks: "I'm sorry - what?" Nell: "I love group Zen!" Deeks: "Do you?" Eric: "Shall we?" Nell: "We shall." Deeks: "This might get sweaty with multiple partners." Kensi: "Please stop saying things that I can't un-see." Eric: "Brrrrrr (loosening his lips)." Deeks: "That's a weird way to start it." Nell: "Oh, yeah, I'm in the mood." Eric: "Totally feeling it." Deeks: "How you feeling, Kens?" Kensi: "I hate you - a lot!" Deeks: "Yeah, but it's opposite day - so you love me..... aaaaaooooooohhhhhhmmmm." (Group ends chanting) (Tonya Papanikolas)

Best Quotes - 1.02 -
1. King Richard: "How can you be a hero if you're not wearing any pants?" (Laura Markus) ~Does this need explaining? I laughed so hard at this line, delivered so eloquently by Timothy Omundson. Galavant's dream sequence was great to watch.

4. Beverly: "Did you know that Albert Einstein's first macaroni necklace just sold for over 1 million dollars?" Murray: "Einstein, huh? Which child would that be?"

  2. TV was back and there were a lot of great shows to watch. What were your favorite quotes? I still need to watch Empire, but I've heard great things about it.

  3. I loved those Person of Interest, Forever, Elementary, and The Librarians quotes.

  4. 1.
    Toby: "Hey Happy. I got to cross the line here. Do you have a tampon?"
    Happy: "Excuse me?!"
    Toby: "It'll absorb the blood, expand, increase the pressure and stop the bleeding."
    Happy: "Uh...Toolbox! Bottom compartment!"



    2.
    Walter: "Guys, guys... I'm looking at a...a rather large drop. It's unknown depth. It's, uh,... Yeah, no... it's too far to jump."
    Ralph: "You can jump down and walk across."
    Sylvester: "Are you sure?"
    Ralph: "Yes. It's only a seven-foot drop. I can tell by how the graphics are composited"
    Walter: " I can't see the bottom. It could be seven feet or 70. Now, are you sure, Ralph?"
    Ralph: "Scoop."
    Sylvester: "What?"
    Paige: "It's about a scoop of ice cream after school. He-He'd make me 'scoop swear' that we'd actually go. It's the strongest promise he can make."
    Walter: "Okay. I trust you Ralph."


    3.
    Sylvester: "Okay, well, if he wasn't there, how'd you guys get in?"
    Toby: "I picked the lock. I've been watching Happy."
    Cabe: "Yeah. We've noticed."


    4.
    Cabe: "What do you know about the hack of the Langley Mainframe at CIA Head Quarters three weeks ago?
    Nate (MiniDanger): "Oh, my God."
    Cabe: "God ain't here with you kid. It's just me."


    5.
    Sylvester: "These files are so heavily encrypted that the only thing we can tell is that they are CIA files."


    Just a side note, I especially loved 1x13 "Kill Screen" because Walter wasn't the one who saved the day in this episode. He was more of a "representative" if anything. I was glad that Ralph was able to use one of his skills to save hundreds of lives. Scorpion should do more shows like "Kill Screen" more often because it really highlights the skill set of the members of Scorpion (including Ralph) - showing that Walter doesn't always have to be the hero. I understand that in his mind, he sees that everything has solutions, but I'm glad that he's starting to loosen the reigns a little bit. One more thing, I also like how this episode portrayed everyone's skill set in order to help Ralph. It shows just how much they've become a family.
