Jessica Jones quotes

Malcolm

Jeri, are you sure this is the way? Yes, Sallinger raises our profile, maybe brings in some new clients, but...

Jeri

You're questioning my motivation.

Malcolm

I'm saying that Sallinger is the real threat to the city. He just killed again.

Jeri

What happened to Dorothy Walker is sickening. But there is a system in place to deal with that. And what it can't and won't do is unmask a woman guilty of theft, assault and, now, attempted murder. Your assignment has not changed, Malcolm. Find her. And if I have to pay that reward because my own investigator failed, we'll have a problem.

Malcolm

Nice digs.

Trish

I guess the best places to hide out are the places no one wants to go.

Malcolm

You know, they don't always. Win. They don't always win.

Trish

They do enough that I can't do this anymore.

Jessica

There's blood on my hands. The kind that won't wash off. I did something today. I set a murderer free. Trish needed a hero. She got me.

Jessica

Everybody's got a story. A beginning... a middle... an end. Of course, there's the story people tell you... and then there's the truth.

Jessica

[regarding the police] Don't antagonize them. I've got that part covered.

Gillian

The cops came by while I was cleaning up the mess they made. Did they apologize? They most certainly did not.

Jessica

What did you tell them?

Gillian

That I'd never personally seen you murder anyone.

Jessica

Thanks.

Malcolm

I quit.

Jessica

Got fired.

Malcolm

Both.

Jessica

Welcome back to humanity.

Malcolm

You should know, uh, working for Hogarth, I did some things, the kind that change you. You know.

Jessica

If the new you is less of a sanctimonious asshole, then it'll be an upgrade.

Jeri

Trish is going to need a good lawyer, and I'm the best. You'd be helping her by facilitating a meeting.

Jessica

Dorothy had no clue that she was about to die and even she wanted to do something good before she checked out. You know you're dying. What are you doing?

Young Trish

But... the parenthetical says "dramatic."

Dorothy

What did I tell you about parentheticals?

Young Trish

Cross 'em out.

Dorothy

Every girl is gonna be doing a goddamn fake swoon. Find something else.

Trish

Was I bothering you? Because your wife beating was bothering me.

Ms. Walker?

Trish

Omar.

I'm so sorry. She was a great lady. It happened on my watch.

Trish

There's nothing you could've done.

There's always something we can do. Satan wins when the forces of light stand idly by.

Trish

Thank you, Omar.

Trish

You blackmail guilty people.

Erik

I'm re-thinking that career path.

Erik

So I'm supposed to let you face off with a murderer alone?

Trish

I'm powered, too.

Erik

But he's armed. If you get hurt chasing my bad guy, Jessica is going to kick my face in and I'll let her.

Trish

Jessica is not my mother!

Erik

Will she be alright?

Malcolm

Yeah. I'll tase her again when she wakes up.

Erik

I'm not loving how easy this is for you.
