Sons of Anarchy quotes

Patterson

I know how much you love Tara, and I see how deeply she loves you. Betrayal is a very intense feeling, one that can only be matched by the maternal instinct of a mother protecting her young.

Jax

I don't need a lesson in family feelings. If you have something to say, then say it.

Patterson

Whatever decisions happen here today, the outcome lands on you. Are you willing to let your family pay the price for your mistakes? Is that what a good man would do? Because if that happens, I promise you son, it's gonna destroy you and everything else you love, and that's not the law in me talking, that's a flawed mother who made a lot of mistakes. You're a husband, and a father, and a man before (gestures to his kutte) all of this. Own your place.

Gemma

[after killing Tara] It had to be done.. had to be done.

What did you do?

Gemma

She did this, she did this. She made a deal, she betrayed him.

Tara didn't rat, Gemma. Jax gave himself up to protect her, to keep her safe.

Tyne Patterson

I understand the pain you're in, son. The reason for your silence. I lost a son and a nephew to gang violence. I didn't want anyone arrested. I wanted them all dead. Heartless, cold bullets to the back of the head, just the way they killed my boy. That's a natural reaction. The desire for revenge, it's a part of grieving. The difference is in my world, I knew that those violent desires would never become real. In yours, it's a very likely outcome. We couldn't tie you to either murder. Parole violation (scoffs) The gun wasn't fired. It was in the house. We're gonna let you go. Your mother's here to see you. She can take you home. (chuckles) I've been doing this for over 20 years, and until today, I have never said a word about my personal life to someone on the other side of this table.

Jax Teller

So, why me?

Tyne Patterson

Because I needed help to connect with the man who did the right thing ten days ago! Who knows the importance of family! And that more violence will only destroy what's left of his.

August Marks

You know the biggest difference between me and Mr. Pope? Damon made his bones being the smartest guy on the street. I made mine being the deadliest. Don't cross me, Jackson. I have no remorse killing you or any of the Sons.

This better not come back to bite me in the ass, Handsome Jack.

Jax Teller

Come on, Charlie, you can trust me.

That's what Custer said to his troops.

Juice Ortiz

I need to know if there's something I can do to earn my way back. I'll do anything, man. Please.

Chibs Telford

If I were you, I'd take that gun, put it in my mouth and pull the trigger.

Jax Teller

What are you doing, man? Cameras.

Oh, no, I bought this room. They ain't on.

Jax Teller

Then why the hell are we talking in code?

I miss my dogs.

Jax Teller

I'm guessing German shepherds.

Gemma Teller Morrow

I like you. You could be good for him.

I'm not really in the market for a marriage blessing, but I appreciate that.

Tig Trager

Where did you come from?

Well, my sweet Alex, I was born of man, but I believe my true genesis happened a bit later, when I was stirred by the gods of love and beauty and transformed into an angel. Whose sole purpose is to bring light to the shadows and a little bit of joy to all those lost souls who can no longer find it.

You deliver Teller to me. I'll handle the payback.

Nero Padilla

There's gotta be an explanation for -

Let me be more specific. You deliver Teller or I kill you. End of the day, Nero. And in case you got any ideas about taking a road trip? Security at the cripple home - ain't that tight.

You are so gay.

Tig Trager

Just gay enough.

Jax Teller

This isn't the way I wanted to do this, Henry. I wanted it to be much slower. Much smarter. But this is gonna have to do.

You're an idiot, Teller. I had nothing to do with what happened with your old lady!

Jax Teller

know, I was the one who advised Nero to tell you to bring a whole army. Now you're gonna watch as my guys rip apart your entire crew. I'm gonna wipe out every trace of you and your organization, Henry. You're done. You're just a dirty Oakland memory. But first, it's you and me.

We don't like mixing race with business.

Jax Teller

Who you kidding, Tully? You don't give a shit about race. The only color you see is green.

It's my job to maintain the brand.

Chibs Telford

[after Jax kills Greensleeves] That... was a very sloppy suicide.

Jax Teller

Yeah? It worked. He's dead.

Chibs Telford

Aye. What about his junk mate?

Jax Teller

Ah, she ain't gonna remember shit.

Chibs Telford

Shalom.

You had the chance to be something good for this club. Something your old man always wanted. But you turned into everything he hated. You became the poison, the reason he checked out.

Jax Teller

Checked out of what?

I was the only one JT trusted at the end.

Jax Teller

You weren't even a member of the club back then.

That's why. I knew the life, but I didn't wear his patch. I was just a friend. A safe ear.

Jax Teller

So what did he tell you?

John couldn't live with what the club had become. But he also couldn't bring himself to take it down.

Jax Teller

Take it down how?

He wrote some kind of book. I never read it. But whatever was in it, if it would have gotten out, would've destroyed the Sons and tore apart his family. What do you think happened to your old man that day? Out on 580?

Jax Teller

Clay sabotaged his bike.

Yeah, we heard those rumors. But there was one thing that didn't hook up for me. That panhead was an extension of John. He would've known if anything was wrong with it the second he kicked it over.

Jax Teller

Meaning what? You think my old man ran into that semi on purpose?

I don't know. Maybe it was his sacrifice. A way of letting his club and family survive.

Jax Teller

My old man didn't kill himself.

It doesn't matter. As long as he ain't here to see what SAMCRO did to you.
