TV show quotes
It's no secret Hac Weller had a thing for you.
Well so do you, when the mood strikes.
You should be flattered.
I make the effort. So when some man doesn't come home to his little wife, he must have been with me, is that it?
In a world of possibilities... it's a short reach.
Well then the next time the mood strikes, I suggest you reach for yourself.
[after hanging Lowell with his own belt] Is that belt too tight, Lowell? Just hang on.
[referring to a shovel] These things have a thousand uses.
I was a one-man suicide hotline.
You don't understand me either Lucas. I mean people thought I was stupid 'cause of the way I acted, but I wasn't. I just saw too much.
I know.
And I know what you're trying to do now. You want me to choose to live.
There's nothing wrong with that.
Except the baby dies! And then I commit the ultimate sin. And Caleb turns against me? And then you finally won. Well I'm not going to let that happen.
So, what did you do to him?
Who Ray? I left him down by your grave. Crying like a baby.
Go ahead, come on. It's your big chance... murder me again, Lucas. Such tenderness... a mercy killing. Isn't that what you told your deputy?
You'd had a miserable life.
Oh, I know I did. But I'm not going to let you ruin that for me again.
You don't understand me Merli-ann, I'm not going to hurt you. I want you to live. You deserve it. This could be the first day of the rest of your life.
Don't you like it where you are?
It's okay.
Well, what's it like?
You'll find out someday.
No tell me, Merli. Tell me.
It's kinda like you're underwater and you can't touch anything. There's no pain, but there's no feeling either. You just float through everything.
Merli?
I wanna hold something! I wanna be held!
It's not fair!
What's not fair?
How only some people get to be happy.
That's just the way it is.
Well it shouldn't be!
See we all have choices to make. And if people are torn, it's only because they're listening to the wrong voice. A voice that would lead them astray, seduce them with hope. Even turn a son against a father. An age old battle between good and evil... care to place your bets?
I hate you!
And someday we'll make that hate work for you.
[to Lucas] Well, if you gonna scream, at least come into the bedroom.
You starting to get the picture, angel face? He's his father's son.
He's my brother.
A blip in the gene pool. He's my son. He carries my spirit and if you kill me, the child becomes the man.
I would kill him before I would let that happen.
Do that and you kill yourself. You only exist because of that child's faith. That too will pass when he learns his full potential. He is more powerful than you can imagine.
You can't destroy me Lucas.
And you won't destroy me.
I'm...
Scared?
Is this what scared feels like?
I wouldn't know.
I wanna hurt somebody, with this feeling. I wanna hurt you.
As long as I get to hurt you back.
Evening, Miss Combs. Feeling suicidal?
What?
Care to join me in a little masochistic nihilism?
Why ain't you been to see me?
You think everybody's dead sister comes to visit them?
Well I've been worried about you.
I've been worried about you too. Things are never going to be the same again, there are other people who need my help.
Well maybe I'll just start listening to Sheriff Buck.
Caleb.
Well maybe you got him wrong Merli. He's been nice to me. Like a father. Well he is my Daddy ain't he?
He raped our mother, Caleb.
So who are these other people you're gonna be helping?
Ones who aren't as strong as you.
They gonna know it's Merlyn helping them?
People see me as they want to, Caleb. You're the only one who's looking for Merlyn.
