Clay Morrow quotes from Sons of Anarchy

Clay

Nobody speaks Spanish... nothing?

Juice

I'm a Puerto Rican from Queens! I speak better Yiddish!

Clay

There ain't gonna be no Charming Heights.

Unser

How you gonna stop it?

Clay

Let nature take its course.

Unser

I got no idea what that means, other than it involves shit and a big fan.

Clay

Don't go setting fires where there's nothing to burn.

Gemma

I don't do that.

Clay

Really?

Gemma

I don't do it all the time.

Bobby

[Looking at a guy being eaten alive by ants] How long are they gonna leave him there?

Clay

Til the picnic's over.

CLAY

Tara still got 'em?

PINEY

My God, how would Tara know?

CLAY

She's the one that gave 'em to you. You don't think I knew that, old man?

PINEY

Just leave her out of it, huh?

CLAY

Too late. [Shoots Piney in the chest with the shotgun]

Jax

(putting a knife to Clay's throat) I read the letters. [Clay groans] I know you killed my father.Piney.You tried to kill Tara.

Clay

Please, Son.

Jax

- Don't call me that.The only reason I am not slicing you open is 'cause I need this cartel deal to happen. And those prick Irishmen won't deal with anyone else.

Clay

- You gotta let me tell you--

Jax

- You're done telling me anything. Now I tell you. You're stepping down as president. You can sit at the table. You can have a vote. But that's all. You keep the Irish happy, and you stay out of my goddamn way. If you don't, I'll let the club read the letters. [Clay grunts]

Jax

And I let Opie tell everyone you murdered his old man.

Clay

Who gave you the letters?

Jax

Doesn't matter.

Clay

Gemma?

Jax

You stay away from Tara and my mother.

Clay

- This is all a mista--[groaning in pain]

Jax

- Do you understand? [pressed the knife until Clay bleeds]

Clay

Ah [Clay groans] Yeah. [grunts]

Clay

You may as well kill me.

Jax

[laughs] You're already dead.

Clay

You want distance, you got it. I don't even know who you are anymore.

Gemma

Why don't you bounce my face off the floor? Then maybe you'll recognize me.

Lee Toric

How you doing, Clay? Lee Toric, US Marshal. Retired. You mind if I sit?

Clay

Retired? Ain't you fishing in the wrong hole?

Lee Toric

We both should be fishing. But here we are. I know you didn't kill Damon Pope. A man with your skill and experience wouldn't be so careless as to toss a weapon with prints a few hundred yards from a murder scene. My guess? Jax Teller took out Pope. From what I hear, he blames Pope for the death of his friend in the catacombs here. But then he pins the murder on you. Why? Maybe you just didn't love him enough as a kid. Hmm? Outlaws turning on outlaws is nothing new. But an old lady turning on her old man that's a serious breach of MC protocol. What happened there?

Clay

Maybe I just didn't love her enough.

Lee Toric

As the proud owner of three ex-wives, that unfortunately makes sense.

Clay

Let me guess. You're the guy I can thank for this private suite here.

Lee Toric

Yes, I am.

Clay

Mm-hmm. So, just how does a sidelined fed get that kind of juice with County?

Lee Toric

I've earned a few favors with ATF. You're welcome. But my privileges are winding down, and I'm afraid it's checkout time, Clay. Next shift change puts you back in gen pop. You know what happens then.

Clay

Black pope takes white pawn?

Lee Toric

Mm-hmm.

Clay

What do you want?

Lee Toric

SAMCRO.

Clay

Who you working for, man?

Lee Toric

No one. Otto Delaney ripped open my sister's throat to beat RICO for Jax and your club. This isn't about a case or my career. This is very personal. If you want to live, let the guard know before the next shift.

Gemma Teller Morrow

They carting you off to Belfast?

Clay Morrow

I don't think so.

Gemma Teller Morrow

I thought that was the plan.

Clay Morrow

I think there's another plan.

Clay Morrow

So, I guess you, uh, had another vote I wasn't privy to.

Jax Teller

Yeah, we did. This time it was unanimous.

Clay Morrow

Fair enough.
