[opening voiceover] Something happens at around 92 miles an hour - thunder-headers drown out all sound, engine vibrations travels at a heart's rate, field of vision funnels into the immediate and suddenly you're not on the road, you're in it. A part of it. Traffic, scenery, cops - just cardboard cutouts blowing over as you pass. Sometimes I forget the rush of that. That's why I love these long runs. All your problems, all the noise, gone. Nothing else to worry about except what's right in front of you. Maybe that's the lesson for me today, to hold on to these simple moments. Appreciate them a little more - there's not many of them left. I don't ever want that for you. Finding things that make you happy shouldn't be so hard. I know you'll face pain, suffering, hard choices, but you can't let the weight of it choke the joy out of your life. No matter what, you have to find the things that love you. Run to them. There's an old saying, 'That which doesn't kill you, makes you stronger' I don't believe that. I think the things that try to kill you make you angry and sad. Strength comes from the good things - your family, your friends, the satisfaction of hard work. Those are the things that'll keep you whole. Those are the things to hold on to when you're broken.
S1 E15Unfinished Business
You a pimp?
I'm a companionator. I bring folks together. I'm all about the love.
I did a spic pimp.
Yeah, and I did a drunken cracker milf.
Thanks for not being a dick.
My life's ambition.
I'm not going to turn into Clay.
I'm afraid I'm gonna turn into you.
I just got a call from the military arm of the Galindo drug cartel wanting me to sit down with Jax Teller. Do you know how hard I have worked to distance myself from that element? Your need for 'street cred' is making my life...difficult. It stops now.
[The One-Niners have just been shown a dismembered body in a train yard]
Is that Laroy?
Most of him. Little bitch was screaming so loud I kind of lost my shit. Congratulations, you in charge.
No, wait wait, what if I don't want to be in charge?
Rise to it, brother. With great power comes great responsibility.
I ain't Spider-Man, nigga!
[To a chained up Tig in a train yard who can't reach his captive daughter Dawn] Know my pain, Mr. Trager. [throws his lit cigar into the pit Dawn's in igniting the spilled fuel]
[Screaming as his daughter catches on fire] Oh, baby Oh, no! No!
[On discovering her sister's dead] Where is she? [Her father doesn't answer] I Hate You...I Hate You...I HATE YOU!...YOU PIG! [Has to be restrained as she lunges at her father in a crazy crying fit]
I had to make a choice, brother: Kill Clay or save the club.
You made the wrong choice.
I got this.
[to prison guard] I’m getting released. There’s nothing you can do to stop that. I’ll find out who you are, and where you live, and then I’m gonna kill you.
Sounds like everything went according to plan.
There's a new plan. I just watched my best friend get beaten to death for you. Now, I'm going to get the club to sign off on your cash. But I need Traeger outside. Him knowing I saved his life gives me an internal advantage I'm going to need. And when I'm done, you can send him out the same way you did his kid, 'cause I really don't give a shit.
[smiles] There you go, finding a hidden advantage in an unfortunate circumstance; using pain to take you to the next level. Those are the things that turn players into kings.
You know what, mom, I kind of have a few things on my plate today, like burying my best friend, so your need to be loved, worshipped, and adored is a little low on my list today.
You want distance, you got it. I don't even know who you are anymore.
Why don't you bounce my face off the floor? Then maybe you'll recognize me.
