Homer Jackson quotes from Ripper Street

Homer Jackson

No sorcery known will allow a man ingress until she first lowers that drawbridge down. You need to make her start wondering after you. Feel the twinge of intrigue, fellow feelings of vulnerability. Here, here, you see? Mother, cruelly killed when she was but a child. Father in lockdown and a stranger to her. You need to make yourself the same, Flight. You need to build yourself a story, tragic loss, destitution. It's got to be perfect, it's got to be detailed and, most important, it has got to be felt. Right here, in your heart, with your own secrets. When you lie, you lie with your own hidden truth.

Capt. Homer Jackson

(seeing a patient out of his surgery) That's gonna itch like hell for a couple days, but that's Mother Nature's way of telling you not to put it there.

Long Susan

Have you lost the last of your addled wits?

Homer Jackson

No. I, uh... forensicate myself.

Long Susan

Might a woman ask why?

Homer Jackson

If she swears to serenity.

Wanna tell me?

It's my home field.

Always were a faker.

[experimenting with heroin] It is life stripped of all judgement. No pain, no hunger, no sorrow... no tomorrow.

Edmund Reid

Qualities much in demand hereabout.

Homer Jackson

You're beautiful!

Long Susan

You're drunk.

Homer Jackson

I thought of it before I was drunk, and I'll think of it after I'm dead.

Edmund Reid

The naked truth being... ?

Homer Jackson

That we're born alone, we die alone, and not one thing in between makes a jot of goddamn sense. [hands Reid a bottle] Pray with me.
