Damages · Season 1
Well, Ms. Maddox should consider this -- if she pursues this action, our only defense is to prove these murder accusations. Does she really want that aired in open court?
And I think Mr. Shayes should consider this -- if he can't prove my client was responsible, a jury is going to ram a $200 million bill up his client's ass.
So what do you think?
I'd have worn a shorter skirt if I'd known I was getting pimped out.
Oh, come on, Claire. Mitch lost his wife three years ago in a car accident. He's not just looking for a roll in the sack. 'Course, it doesn't hurt he's got his own island.
[at the settlement meeting] Ten million to Mr. Kendrick's preferred charity.
Three.
Eight.
Four.
Seven.
Five.
Five is fine.
I think we have an agreement.
Always nice when cooler heads prevail.
What is the charity?
The NRA.
Arthur, if you want to change the world, first change yourself. Then your part in changing the world is finished.
One's aim should be to know oneself truly, apart from one's place in the world.
[introducing Frobisher to the media] Arthur Frobisher is a great American. Recently, I've had the opportunity to get to know the private man, and I have been deeply impressed by his character and his resolve. I have come to see that he is by nature, a builder. He is an inspiring human being whose passion in life is to create, not destroy.
[to Pete] Are you gonna give us Patty? Or are you gonna abandon your dying wife?
[to Bearded Man] Okay, look, you slipped up here, right? I'm sure it feels like you're walking around, and your dick's hanging out. It's no fun. I get it.
Phil, there's a thing people say when they want you to do something you don't want to do.
What's that?
'You're gonna thank me someday.'
Every gesture has two sides. One faces the sun, the other darkness.
[to Bearded Man] I am prepared to take responsibility, but you, you are still stuck in the past. I'm not. I'm free. Today, I am... I-I walk without fear.
What's it gonna be, Pete? Your wife... or Patty Hewes? You are going to a prison hospital. You got to decide, Pete.
Get me a bedpan. I got to take a shit.
Arthur, you have invited a jackal into your life. And it is the jackal's nature to hunt until he has made his kill.
What's that supposed to mean?
It means you have a choice -- you must either spend the rest of your life running from this man... or turn yourself in and face the repercussions of your past.
[on the death of Uncle Pete] I don't know, but she blames you guys. This is like a call to war for her.
Meaning what?
Meaning you're not just targeting her now. She's targeting you.
We don't work for the FBI, Ellen.
Who do you work for?
The IPF.
The what?
Inter-Planetary Federation. You never saw Men in Black?
Oh, you guys are jackasses.
