TV show quotes
Just so we’re clear, anything happens to Amanda between now and the election, anything at all? She slips in the shower… chokes on a chicken bone… doesn’t matter. I will come to your house in the dead of night, press a pillow over your face and I’ll empty my gun into it.
And they say humans lack a sense of poetry.
You draw a gun, you aim to kill.
Yeah, I taught you that. Really gotta stop listening to me. I’m an idiot.
Paintball gun, huh?
I didn't know Nolan was gonna shoot. It was supposed to be a joke.
Well, I guess the joke's on your dead friend, and my daughter for marrying a little peckerhead like you and me for allowing it.
Look, I'm so sorry. If I could go back and do it over again -
You can't. Look forward. Because if you disappoint me for a second time, if you again act in a manner unworthy of my baby girl, your marriage will end. And I do not believe in divorce. Capiche?
You’re pathetic.
And you are alone.
[to Stahma] I know you betrayed me. I should open your guts right here in front of these good people. But a vote is a vote.
Allow me to properly introduce myself. I'm special consultant Jonah Keller, informally known as "Black Jonah". Perhaps you've heard of me. I'm a professional interrogator, and I enjoy my work to an arguably indecent degree.
I've worked hard to take control of this town, to win respect, and in one reckless act, you've trivialized me. Come morning, every soul in this town will be asking themselves, "Who's running the place, Datak Tarr or the Earth Republic?"
Yes, well, as I say, you will be compensated.
Yes, Castithans love money, can't get enough of it. Amusing. Now, I strongly suggest you dig deep and afford me some courtesy.
You are one uppity little haint. You know, after all of this is over, you're going right back to being a nobody.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was a monster. I regret my past and I’m trying to do better. You should be taking notes.
The Earth Republic will come for us. Masters of our fate no longer. I miss home.
I know. So do I.
We have one rule: we live or die together!
It's a stupid rule.
I appreciate the nice things in life. I take no pride and accept no shame in this. I treat small luxuries like hand cream as valuable indulgences to treasure. My moments of civilization. So you'll no doubt understand, when I accepted the role of provisional mayor 8 and 1/2 months ago, I was apprehensive. I imagined those wild west movies my father was so fond of, of a town full of anarchists, malcontents, and savages. How wrong I was. Put simply, Defiance is paradise.
You're a show-off, Pottinger, with your big words, your hand lotion, your TV screens. But I tell you something, I never met a show-off who was quite as smart as he thought he was.
Well, now that you finally have, you can tell your grandkids all about it.
You burned off my hair.
Nope, the explosion burned off your hair. I was blameless. Besides, short and sassy for those hot summer months. You wore it well.
Straight talk?
Yes.
Your father surrendered his claim on his financial interests when he murdered Colonel Marsh in a fit of foolish temper. I thought perhaps his son could take over with the proper guidance, but you lack the strength and brutality to do what is necessary.
This is just-
Once again, the strong Castithan males falter and I am left to open the airlock door myself! The family business belongs to me.
Hmm, Nolan. Should have put it together. I've heard of you.
And I've heard of Berlin. I've always wanted to visit.
