Clay Morrow quotes from Sons of Anarchy

Gemma

Motherless children. They make people do drastic things. This is bad.

Clay

You think I don't know that. You think I wanted this?

Gemma

You feel all that, baby. You feel it here. You walk out that door...you be the man they all need you to be.

Jax

Looks like Trammel earned his pay.

Clay

You got something you need to say?

Jax

We both know this is bullshit. The only reason I don't set fire to it is because I love Opie and the truth would kill him.

Clay

We all love Opie. He needs this and we're going to give it to him.

Jax

Whoever you put this murder on just make sure they deserve to die because the guy that killed Donna is out there sharing a beer with her husband.

Clay

You better be real careful how you navigate around this one.

Jax

Or what? You gonna put a bullet in the back of my head too?

Jax

Something wrong?

Clay

They found that Mayan we visited. He was throwing up nine fingers. Brown's a little pissed at black.

Jax

I made a decision for the good of the club.

Clay

You settle that shit on your own?

Jax

Yeah. Spur-of-the-moment seemed like the right thing. I'm sure you can understand.

Clay

That little judgment call you made for the good of the club? It came back to bite us in the ass and almost killed Bobby.

Jax

I see that.

Clay

Whatever you may think, the truth is everything I do is to protect what we got. It's never arbitrary. And it's never reactive. Been doing this for 30 years, I know a few things.

Jax

Taking that tag off the Mayan was the right decision. You know that.

Clay

You wanna challenge me? Fine, I don't give a shit. But the minute it stops being about this club and it starts becoming personal they'll know that. They'll lose respect for you and they won't trust you anymore. And then you'll be handling everything on your own. Think about that…son.

Clay

Thoughts?

Chibs

Everybody loves pussy.

Opie

I second that.

Juice

Third it.

Tig

I’m a very big fan of pussy.

Clay

All in favor? Like I gotta ask.

Pussy!

Clay

Looks like we're making movies.

Clay

Ah, sad Elvis.

Bobby

Oh, blow me. Goddamn Bar Mitzvahs are killing me.

Clay

Why you doing it, then? Tahoe gigs will come back around.

Bobby

I'm buried. Inside for two months, child support, alimony, and my oldest needs oral surgery. They gotta cut his frenum. What the hell is a frenum?

Clay

Sounds Jewish.

Bobby

Sounds expensive.

Clay

Where does this go, tomorrow? Next week?

Jax

Where's what go?

Clay

Your need to undermine my every play.

Jax

I got no need to undermine you. Things I call out are about the club.

Clay

Nah, about you and me.

Jax

Yeah. Maybe they are. Guess I gotta get right with you-what you did.

Clay

Yeah. You do.

Jax

Well, you got decades of experience. Why don't you tell me how I do that? How I get right with you tryin' to kill a brother behind the club's back and your little trigger boy blowin' an innocent woman's head off?

Clay

Well, you're gonna have to figure that out for yourself son. But I'd do it soon. Cause if you mention Donna or the incident again, I'll kill ya.

Clay

Do you see what you're doing to this club?

Jax

I was risking my ass for this club.

Clay

Bullshit!

Jax

You're as blind as you are crippled.

Clay

No. The blind guy's in jail with no wife cause you just got her killed!

Jax

I'm not the one murdering women!

Clay

SAMCRO deals guns. You had your little romp as porn king. You tied us to prostitution. You got one of our member's old lady killed.

Jax

You are really gonna stand there and lay the guilt of a dead wife on me?

Clay

[after Clay and Jax learns of Gemma's rape] How do you want to handle it?

Jax

We kill them all.

Clay

[to Weston] Whatever happened to 10-on-10 with no weapons?

Jax

Guess you couldn't handle a fair fight, huh?

Fair's for losers. I'd rather win.

Jax

Yeah, me too. [reveals the Niners and Triads]

Clay

[about Half-Sack] Where's he at?

Chibs

His year's up in about a month.

Clay

How does everyone feel about patching him in?

Chibs

Yeah.

Clay

Half a sack, shitload of balls.

Clay

Probably 40, 50 patches watching us right now. We represent the past, present, and future of this club. Sure, the Sons are a democratic nation, but everybody knows what happens in Charming sets the tone for every charter.

Jax

And what's happening in Charming?

Clay

You tell me. These men behind us, they love you. They respect you and they understand your grief. But they're also wondering what you're gonna do with it.

Jax

That's my business.

Clay

No it isn't. None of these guys are old enough to remember what happened to your old man and how he fell apart and lost focus when Thomas died.

Jax

Yeah, well, I'm not my old man.

Clay

I know that, but they don't. You gotta show 'em something. Make the hard choice, son.

Jax

And what choice would that be?

Clay

Either Abel is dead, and you want revenge, or he's alive, and you would kill to find him. Now if you can't make that decision, then you better get down on your hands and knees and pray for something to get you there fast.

Stahl

Lotta bad guys out there; sometimes the pursuit gets a little...messy. You know?

Clay

That why your bosses pulled you off the Irish? 'Cause it got a little 'messy'? Seems like avoiding the bad shooting hit didn't do you much good, after all. All you did by framing Gemma was get a man killed and a baby kidnapped. Anything happens to my grandson...anything...I promise you, I'm gonna shove a gun barrel up that bony ass of yours and I'm gonna blow your black heart out.

You can't kill me. I'm a patch president.

Clay

I don't recognize your bullshit MC.
