Philip Jennings quotes from The Americans

Philip Jennings

Who, who is that?

Philip Jennings

Stan, these people, if, if they’re not stopped, that’s our whole country. That’s, that’s our whole future. And it’s the world, and whether we get to live in peace or not depends on this. We have to tell them what happened here, because if that dead drop didn’t go through, we’re the only ones who can stop this. Now, I don’t know why you should trust me. You should hate me. You … you should probably shoot me. But we’re getting in that car. And we’re driving away. I wish you’d stayed with me at EST. You might know what to do here.

Philip Jennings

I don’t know how to say this, but I think there’s a chance Renee might be one of us. I’m not sure.

I listen to my lord. He protects me. He guides me.

Philip Jennings

There's been a misunderstanding between you and your lord.

Philip Jennings

You know, where I come from, you leave, you lose.

Stan Beeman

If that's how you want to win.

Philip Jennings

I'll win any way I can.

You know, we met at the SCLC meeting. We was putting together a group to march with Dr. King in Chicago. We just clicked. It wasn't about race or Vietnam. It was about equality. When she told me who she really was, it was like I already knew. She was recruiting me for the KGB, America's number-one enemy. And I was right there with her. Me and her against the world. We were willing to sacrifice our lives, our families. You know, whatever it took.

Philip Jennings

You don't have a family, do you, Gregory?

Philip Jennings

The boy—is he real?

Only duty and honor are real, Mischa. Isn't that what we were told?

Clark, I'm in love with you. I waited my whole life for you, and I would do anything for you. Anything. All you have to do is ask. Just please, just tell me one thing? Is this real?

Philip Jennings

Yes.
