TV show quotes
You've a little devil on your shoulder told you to kill a guy. And you've got a little angel won't shut up. Telling you, you're going to burn in a lake of fire.

You're uncomfortable with me.
No. Going by the book is pointless. You're gonna learn nothing.
Good. I thought it was because of the sexual tension.
There was no sexual tension.
There was tension. And it made me feel funny, so...
Here. [hands him the letter]
It's too bad. I was kinda getting into the whole hot for teacher thing.
Are you sure you're okay?
Yeah. False alarm... what about us?
We're good, just like this. You press my buttons, I press yours.
By buttons you mean... [epiphany] huh... [on his way out] You do make me feel funny.

Taub thinks it's a brain issue. Thirteen thinks it's multi-focal.
And neither of them wants to work here.
Don't take their words for it. Taub's problem is his wife. Thirteen's problem is you. Chase and Cameron's problem is the dead African dictator. None of them has a problem with the work.
I owe you an apology. I was w… I was wrwrw…
What were you wrong about?
What I did may be the worst thing I ever did. It may be the best I'm either a murderer or a guy who stopped a mass murderer. But I did it. Me. And even if it destroys me, I'd do it again today.

I'm not running away from what I did because you want to pretend I never did it.
Your husband killed a patient, and you're breaking up with me?
