A biological weapon was set off! Nasty stuff... flesh-eating." (Bradley Adams)

If he gets what he wants I expect he'll be a better ruler than the fools sitting on the Iron Throne the last two hundred years... but I'll never serve him." (Darth Locke and Robert Fruin)
2. Cersei: "The man who murdered our father, he tore us apart. He's the enemy. I've been telling you for years, you've been defending him for years." Jaime: "This is exactly what they want."

3. Jon: "I think you're making a terrible mistake." Mance: "The freedom to make my own mistakes was all I ever wanted." Sandi)
4. Tyrion: "I still don't see why I had to stay in this fucking crate once we set sail." Varys: "I saved your life. If they catch you, they catch me. I cannot say I feel overly guilty about leaving you in that fucking crate." Tyrion: "Do you know what it's like to stuff your shit through one of those airholes?" Varys: "No, I only know what it's like to pick up your shit and throw it overboard." (Sandi)
5. Tyrion: "You never told me why you set me free." Varys: "Your brother asked me to." Tyrion: "Could've said no." Varys: "Refuse the Kingslayer? A dangerous proposition."

Gibbs: "Your job, Bishop, is to do what I tell you to do. You can do this." Bishop: "Don't put me in a position I'm not trained for." Gibbs: "Training's not the problem - you are. I told you, I got your back. Stop hiding behind things that are familiar, Bishop. You're better than that. The answers you want, Bishop - they're out there." (Daniel van der Veer)
5. Tony: "You must have had a rough childhood. Normally I would take great pleasure in breaking a clown like you down nice and slow.

1. Rev Halse: "Manners were never your strong suit, Poldark. One can only guess at the bad humours that come from an ill spent life." Ross: "Ill spent? And this from a Justice of the Peace who combines all the virtues of office except perhaps justice and peace." Rev Halse: "No doubt the common people you mix with have blunted your facilities as to what may, or may not, be said in polite society." Ross: "I agree they alter one's prospective, sir. You should try mixing with such people, it might enlarge your outlook." (Sandi)
2. Matthew: "I propose." Ross: "How many?" Matthew: "One." Ross: "I'll take the book."

George: "I rather think he had Ross." Dwight: "Oh no he had not." Francis: "He most certainly had not!" Ross [grabs Matthew]: "I'm sorry for assaulting your friend, George. But if you insist on entertaining such fellows then you should at least keep them on a leash. Or perhaps you prefer your guests to be ruined in silence!"



Scandal -
1. Olivia: “You did the right thing.” Marcus: “Yeah, sure. For Natalie, for my conscience, I guess I had to. And hey – no regrets, right? I got to tell people I did the right thing. That’s something.” Olivia: “That’s more than something – that’s everything. That’s what saves you in the end. You do the wrong thing, then you’re done. Not at first. It only feels like a misstep at first, a compromise, a concession to reality, a bad move well played. But at some point you’re only going in that direction. By the time you realize how far down that path you are, you’re lost. Everything is unrecognizable, you are unrecognizable – to yourself. You find yourself doing things you never thought you’d do in ways you never thought you’d do them, to save things you’re not even sure you want to save. You can’t help it. That’s when you’re done. You are not done. You did the right thing here. I know it hurt. I know it hurt to do it now. But, you know, the time is always right to do right.” (Tonya Papanikolas)

2. Ray: "Thank you, but I can't quite seem to keep it up." Felicity: "He means the suit." Ray: "Yeah, I mean the suit." Felicity: "Yeah, I can attest that everything else works just fine.

4. Felicity: What is going on with you? And don't say it's a bad time. Oliver might be joining the League of Assassins, Laurel's the Black Canary, and Thea's training with Malcollm, so I know about bad times." (Bradley Adams)
5. Felicity: "What is wrong with you? Is everyone in Central City in a bad mood? I thought Central City was supposed to be the fun one."

Juliette: "I wish I could say the same but I just don't know anymore because deep down I do blame you for what’s happened to me and part of me loves you for it because I've never felt like this before. It's ironic isn't it? You've been the special one for so long. You're connected to a world that most people will never know or understand, and now I know and I understand and I don't want to give it up. Just like you didn't want to give it up but now I know why. Once you're in it and you've seen it and tasted it and lived it, you can't go back. Everyone just seems blind. I like this power Nick and I know you do too." Nick: "Stop it." Juliette: "I can't."
3. Juliette: "You know I didn't need to let them arrest me. I just wanted to see if you'd come rescue me." Nick: "I'm not letting you out if that's what you mean by rescue you. It's safer for you in here." Juliette: "And safer for you."

2. Lowell: “No one can really know you now. Kissing, touching, sex, love, yelling at someone for stealing the blankets – out of the question, forever.

Why did I believe the things you said to me? Why am I being punished for being young? I gave up everything for you – because I believed you. But you are nothing but a liar – an aging, sloppy, selfish liar.” (Tonya Papanikolas)

2. Joshua: "It's not your church. It's God's church."


Poldark -

3. Poldark: "If these are my people, I am ashamed to belong to them." Demelza: "Well if you think all the stupid, fat, ignorants are in your class, then you're mistook. I've lived long enough to know that they're everywhere. And you'll not right any wrongs by blaming just these folk for Jim dying." Poldark: "Of course they're to blame for their ignorance, their selfishness, their arrogance." Demelza: "And you'll not right any wrongs by drinking and gaming and leaving me to fend for myself at my very first ball." Poldark: "If you behave like this, you'll not come to another." Demelza: "If you behave like this, I'll not want to."
4. Demelza: "Ross, you cannot fight the world. You can only make your own small corner a fairer place."

The Royals -
1. Gemma: "I do hate to interrupt but I love this song and I could really use a warm body. Nick, would you mind terribly?" Nick: "This is the part where you ask me to dance and then the jocks lock me in the trunk of a car." Gemma: "Dance floor, McFly. Now!"
2. Alistair: "Won't the people miss their queen?" Queen: "A grand entrance to kick things off, then a big finish at the end. That's all they care about. Tops and tails. Besides I don't want to be their queen tonight. I just want to be yours."
3. Eleanor: "Dance with me." Jasper: "I thought I was supposed to be working." Eleanor: "You are and right now I need you to work on protecting me from the Grand Duke of Norway's wandering hands. I really do worry about your ability to protect my body, Jasper."


Sirens -
1. Cash: "For years, I was terrified of the rutabaga." Voodoo: "The vegetable?" Stats: "Why?" Cash: "Have you seen one? They look unholy. But one fateful day, a beautiful young chef talked me into trying one." Billy: "What happened?" Cash: "Tasted like sh-t." (Bradley Adams)
2. Theresa: "Billy freaked her out by telling her how sexy she would look pregnant. That's so weird." Johnny: "It's not that weird. There's a whole porn genre dedicated to it." Theresa: "Well, don't tell Billy that." Johnny: "Oh, he knows." (Bradley Adams)

3. Thad: "Babe, you know I don't do Brooklyn. No offense." Liza: "Lots taken."
