Greg Hirsch quotes from Succession

Logan Roy was such a giant. He was a man of humility, grace, dignity.

Tom Wambsgans

[whispers] Who died fishing his iPhone from a clogged toilet.

In public, he was a great communicator.

Greg Hirsch

[whispers] Really?

A powerful man.

Greg Hirsch

[whispers] Oh, man.

Tom Wambsgans

[whispers] So they say. Karl blocked it.

Greg Hirsch

[whispers] No.

Tom Wambsgans

[whispers] The man lives on Wonder Bread and steak frites. He hadn't had a shit for 20 years.

Hugo Baker

Oh, fuck! Fuck!

Shiv Roy

What?

Hugo Baker

Fuck! [shows Matsson tweet] "Doderick Macht Frei."

Roman Roy

That's a very nasty joke, right?

Karolina Novotney

Oh, shit.

Shiv Roy

Yeah. That's, what, a... it's a Holocaust joke.

Hugo Baker

Look who it's...

Karolina Novotney

From our acquirer...

Hugo Baker

Look who it's from.

Karolina Novotney

...so we might need to strategize. Pull the Q and A. Can we let him know? Can we let Kendall know?

Hugo Baker

Fuck.

Karolina Novotney

Because he's about...

Shiv Roy

We should try.

Karolina Novotney

...to base jump into a buzzsaw.

Hugo Baker

Right, right. [on phone call] Are-- are you backstage?

Greg Hirsch

[to Tom] This is kinda good for you 'cause your presentation, not great, and so now no one will be watching.

Greg Hirsch

Here we go. The 5:00 p.m. All good?

Tom Wambsgans

Yeah, I'm good, Greg, considering it's my first post-Logan election, and I have Cyd, uh, running around town, spitting poison like a fucking King Cobra with an iPhone. I have, uh, PGN to the left of me, I have FVA to the right. I gotta deliver the best election numbers ever 'cause my bosses wanna rip my heart out as a peace offering...

Greg Hirsch

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Tom Wambsgans

...to all comers. So, no, Greg. You know, I'm a little bit tense. Just a little bit. Little tense.

Greg Hirsch

Well, yeah, I'm feeling pretty good.

Greg Hirsch

So, listen, at some point tonight could we do a chat, uh, in terms of the-- the me of things, and, like, how to play it? Because Matsson, he treated me quite abominably, but it felt, like, trusting and he was saying a lot of things, and--

Tom Wambsgans

Okay, okay. Enough, enough, enough. Where's my coffee?

Greg Hirsch

Tom, I don't do coffee anymore--

Tom Wambsgans

No, Greg! Greg, I have to be clear. I have to. If I get drowsy, and I miscall Colorado, instability, right? Then the U.S. loses credibility, China spots an opportunity and invades Taiwan. Tactical nukes. Fucking shit goes kablooey and we're back to amoeba. It's a long way back from pond life, 'cause you failed to get me a double shot, okay?

Shiv Roy

Come on in.

Greg Hirsch

Yeah.

Greg Hirsch

So...

Shiv Roy

Yeah, just wanted to check in. You know? It's been busy. So...

Greg Hirsch

Right. Yeah, on election day.

Shiv Roy

Yeah. Yeah. So, how was your night, last night, with Lukas?

Greg Hirsch

Shiv, I... I went for a drink with him. That-- that's not my fault.

Shiv Roy

Uh-huh. Do you find me attractive, Gregory?

Greg Hirsch

I don't th... think of things such as that.

Shiv Roy

Oh. Oh, I thought you were a "disgusting brother." Is that-- was that too disgusting for you?

Greg Hirsch

This is not appropriate. [chuckles] It's...

Shiv Roy

Uh-huh.

Greg Hirsch

Yeah, I, uh... I'm... Sorry, I don't--

Shiv Roy

'Cause I'm just letting you know... that if you try to fuck me... I'll kill you. Mm-hmm?

Greg Hirsch

Mm-hmm, got it. Got it. Sorry, yeah. I guess my-- my only question... would be, if-- if anything did come to pass, in terms of you and he... you know, silence is golden.

Shiv Roy

Hmm.

Greg Hirsch

Like how golden?

Shiv Roy

Uh-huh.

Greg Hirsch

Is there an offer?

Shiv Roy

Yeah. Uh, yeah. How about I offer for you to keep all your internal organs on your insides rather than I pull them out your asshole? [opens door] Go on. You're lumber. Keep your snout out.

Greg Hirsch

I just-- I just wanted to say congrats.

Tom Wambsgans

Thanks.

Greg Hirsch

And yeah. So...

Tom. Just phenomenal.

Tom Wambsgans

Hey. Pastures new, right?

Yes, it is.

Tom Wambsgans

This is it.

Greg Hirsch

Yeah, so how's it all looking?

Tom Wambsgans

Uh-huh.

Greg Hirsch

Plans? Planning?

Tom Wambsgans

Yeah, I wanna talk to Gerri. Yeah, Gerri gets it. She's not afraid of the dark.

Greg Hirsch

And who else?

Tom Wambsgans

Frank, dead. Karl, dead. I really don't need those two old cunts on my shoulder.

Tom Wambsgans

You? You fucked it, man. Quad man. Matsson hates you. Wants a clean-out.

Greg Hirsch

Fuck.

Tom Wambsgans

You are a fucking piece of shit. [pause] But I got you. I got just enough capital.

Tom Wambsgans

I got you.
