Connor Roy quotes from Succession

Connor Roy

I just hope the seating plan holds. If it does... look out, Middle East, 'cause I can fix anything.

Connor Roy

Hello. I'm here as a fellow human... to acknowledge that Lester has, as we know, passed on. Lester was a man. Also, Lester was an employee of the Waystar company for 40 years. And when a man dies, it is sad. All of us will die one day. In this case, it is Lester who has done so. Lester was alive for 78 years. But no more. Now he is dead. Lester's wife is Maria. They were married for 15 years. Now she is sad.

Logan Roy

[receiving a gift from Connor] Oh, wonderful. What is it?

Connor Roy

Well...

Roman Roy

Oh yes, yes, it's a goo. It's a fucking goo?

Shiv Roy

It's perfect.

Connor Roy

It's sourdough starter. I thought that you might like to make something.

Logan Roy

Ohh... great.

Connor Roy

Yeah, okay. You shouldn't have opened it. Never mind. Forget it. It was an idea. I thought you might like it.

Logan Roy

I do, I do. I just don't know what the fuck it is!

Connor Roy

I'm not saying I would make a better CEO, that's unsaid.

Kendall Roy

It's not unsaid when you say it.

Connor Roy

No, I'm saying I'm not saying it, so, in fact, it is unsaid.

Kendall Roy

Hey, pal, why don't you go help Willa with her homework?

Connor Roy

Ouch, asshole.

Roman Roy

I went to the market and I bought a crack pipe...

Connor Roy

That's terrible.

Roman Roy

No? All right. I went to the market and I bought a gimp suit.

Connor Roy

This family's broken. And that has consequences. A missed phone call today, a couple dozen kids lose their jobs in China. Butterfly wings, but bigger, huge wings. Like a pterodactyl, or the Smithsonian. So...[raises glass in toast] ...let's fix our wings.

Roman Roy

Barely comprehensible.

Shiv Roy

So what happened with the fake therapy? Any pretend breakthroughs? Any good performances?

Connor Roy

Nothing. Our therapist died.

Shiv Roy

What?

Connor Roy

Metaphorically speaking.

Tom Wambsgans

He smashed his teeth out in the pool.

Shiv Roy

Oh, my god...

Tom Wambsgans

Freud would have had a field day.

Shiv Roy

The lack of thought to do this to Dad... today...

Kendall Roy

Come on, Shiv, let's not pretend. Yeah? This isn't about Dad. This is because you like the power. It gets you close to the Hill. And Rome, you couldn't get a job in a fuckin' burger joint let alone a Fortune 500 without some nepotism and Con, you like the glamor it gives to a fuckin' freak show in the desert, okay.

Connor Roy

No, Kenny. I could just do with the assistance of the family firm on my ambitions to become President. That's it.

Kendall Roy

Right. Exactly. You're all living in a fuckin' dream world.

Connor Roy

Hey baby, how about this for the eulogy? "Lester touched all of us."

I don't think you should do your speech.

Connor Roy

No one else is gonna get here. I have to. I said I would.

Baby, I think it could be really bad for your campaign. I mean, I was just talking to those guys over there.

Connor Roy

The Wolf Pack?

The Wolf Pack?!

Connor Roy

Yea, Dad's old crew, back in the day.

Oh, Jesus. Okay, some of the stuff they got up to with Mo, you do not wanna be associated with.

Connor Roy

Sure, no. I know. Still, it's complicated. It was a different time.

But it wasn't a time before they invented laws, was it?

Connor? Hi. Sorry to interrupt. I'm Michele Pantsil. I'm-- I'm working on a study.

Connor Roy

I know who you are.

I-- I spoke to Lester a lot toward the end. He always spoke so fondly of you.

Connor Roy

Oh, I see you a mile away, sister. What, do you wanna dig through my treasure chest for some precious memory gems?

No, I don't want to make anyone do anything they don't want to do.

Connor Roy

Hey, if you wanna print something in your little book, you may print the following line: "Connor Roy was interested in politics at a very young age." That's it.

Shiv Roy

Okay, so. Go on, tell us. Who's here?

Kendall Roy

Who isn't?

Roman Roy

Your dad.

Shiv Roy

Your mom.

Connor Roy

Your wife and kids.

Roman Roy

Any real friends.

Kendall Roy

Con, what do you want?

Connor Roy

I'll just have whatever a regular Joe would have. Just, uh, Belgian Weissbier. Not Hoegaarden, ideally.

Connor Roy

The good thing about having a family that doesn't love you is you learn to live without it.

Shiv Roy

What? Con-- Connor that's not--

Connor Roy

You're all chasing after Dad, saying, [whimpers] "Love me, please love me. I need love. I need attention."

Shiv Roy

I think that's the opposite of what just happened.

Connor Roy

You're needy love sponges. And I'm a plant that grows on rocks and lives off insects that die inside of me.

Shiv Roy

Jesus Christ, Con. [chuckles]

Connor Roy

If Willa doesn't come back, that's fine. Because I don't need love. It's like a superpower. And if she comes back and doesn't love me, that's okay too, 'cause I don't need it. [silence] Thanks for the party.

Oh, Connor, it's all so lovely.

Connor Roy

Yeah.

Oh, my God. Look at all the young people.

Connor Roy

I heard a few of them moaning about the rich.

Yeah, well, they don't mind the taste of your champagne.

Connor Roy

Mr. Scrooge just happened to be a huge wealth creator. They don't mention that in Mr. Dickens' books, do they?

No, they do not! Very convenient!

Connor Roy

Hey, hey! That's my brother and sister.

Shiv Roy

Hey, Con.

Connor Roy

Fucking cake nightmare! Okay.

Kendall Roy

Con, Con.

Connor Roy

[to wedding staff] Would you take care of that for me?

Kendall Roy

Con.

Connor Roy

Yeah? What is it?

Kendall Roy

Come here. Come-- Come here.

Connor Roy

What is it?

Kendall Roy

It's just-- it's private. It's serious, come here.

Connor Roy

[to wedding staff] Five, okay.

Yeah.

Kendall Roy

Come here, buddy.

Connor Roy

What is it? Is it...

Kendall Roy

Just...

Connor Roy

...important?

Kendall Roy

...come here for a sec.

Connor Roy

What?

Shiv Roy

Let's get you, um--

Connor Roy

Is it Pop? Uh-- Is he okay?

Shiv Roy

Uh--

Connor Roy

What is it? Is he sick? What is it?

Shiv Roy

Dad's on an airplane to Sweden, but they're coming back. We think he died. They've-- Th... [softly] They think he's dead. [exhales shakily]

Connor Roy

Well, is he?

Kendall Roy

Well, uh, everyone says he is. I mean, we don't know. They're doing heart compressions.

Connor Roy

Oh, man. He never even liked me.

Kendall Roy

[softly] Hey, Con--

Connor Roy

Hey-- Sorry. You know what? I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I don't even know what I mean. He did. He did. I-I just-- I never got the chance to make him proud of me. He's dead.
