Eldritch Palmer quotes from The Strain

Eldritch Palmer

Throughout my life I've learned what it feels to cross a line, to do things. Things that cannot be undone. That line it has been crossed now, hasn't it?

Thomas Eichhorst

Your pulse is slowing and your heart is struggling, Eldritch. I can hear it.

Eldritch Palmer

Is he here now?

Thomas Eichhorst

Oh no, I came here on my own.

Eldritch Palmer

I've kept my part of the agreement; the Master will keep his.

Thomas Eichhorst

He will not be compelled or coerced. He is the Master. He does or he does not.

Eldritch Palmer

I used every resource at my disposal. No one else could have done his bidding as I have.

Thomas Eichhorst

And if he denies you what you want? What if he sent me instead in order to offer you your last rites?

Eldritch Palmer

He will save me. He still needs me. I have faith.

Eldritch Palmer

I knew you'd come. I believed. Save me.

[administering 'the white'] Behold.

Eldritch Palmer

I want all this boxed up - and brought back to my office.

Right away, sir.

Eldritch Palmer

[seeing a decapitated body] That can stay.

Eldritch Palmer

Bring the car around. Contact Eichhorst.

No, sir.

Eldritch Palmer

Excuse me?

Won't do it. Not anymore. When people called you cruel and selfish, I defended you. I said they didn't know you as I know you. Then Eichhorst showed up and his ilk, and I told myself it was them, manipulating you, warping your judgement. I was wrong.

Eldritch Palmer

You've been by my side the entire time.

Yes, I am complicit, because I served you loyally.

Eldritch Palmer

This is the part where the whore declares herself a virgin.

You made a devil's bargain. You pulled me into it with you. Your sudden resurrection is an affront to nature and to God.

Eldritch Palmer

What a load of horse shit! You self-righteous son of a bitch! How dare you defy me!

Part of me thinks I should kill you right now, restore the natural order of things. But I can't. Not after all you did for me. Consider my debt to you paid in full. Never come after me.

Eldritch Palmer

You fool! Deserting me when we're on the verge of triumph! Where will you go? What will you do without me to protect you?

The question is, sir, what will you do without me to protect you?

Eldritch Palmer

I was under the clear impression that he was going to be here!

Thomas Eichhorst

The Master will attend or - will not attend, according to -

Eldritch Palmer

Please! Spare me the "he will or he will not" spiel. It's tiresome. This is the most significant part of the next phase of operations! Now, where is he?

Thomas Eichhorst

I see a little of the Master's white in your veins has made you bold, Eldritch. But as a friend, I'm telling you, being too bold - may not be wise right now.

Eldritch Palmer

Eichhorst, honestly? You're not my friend, and I don't give a warm shit what you think. Don't try and manage me. I'm not one of your foot soldiers. I am the Master's partner.

Thomas Eichhorst

His partner? Hmm, Of course. The Master will be very interested to hear that.

Eldritch Palmer

Abraham. Look at you. Withered by age and failure, yet your blind optimism carries you on. Don't tell me you still cling to your belief in the Supreme Being?

Abraham Setrakian

You should fear His wrath.

Eldritch Palmer

Your "Being" doesn't exist. Realized that when I was 10 years old. Prayed for Him to heal me. He never answered.

Abraham Setrakian

Yes, He did. The answer was no.

Abraham Setrakian

Help me rid the evil from this world.

Eldritch Palmer

There will always be evil in this world, Professor.

Eldritch Palmer

I need to know that our plan is not in jeopardy before I proceed. And that he is able to uphold his side of the bargain.

Thomas Eichhorst

Let me assure you -

Eldritch Palmer

Your assurance is not enough! I assure you, I didn't become one of the wealthiest men in the world by being played for a fool. Either he is ignoring me or avoiding me. Tell him he does so at his peril.

Thomas Eichhorst

For your sake, I shall tell him no such thing.

Eldritch Palmer

By the way, I haven't seen your man Bolivar lately. I hope nothing's happened to him.

Thomas Eichhorst

Bolivar has a new assignment.

Eldritch Palmer

Really? Doing what?

Thomas Eichhorst

The Master has chosen him as his new vessel.

Eldritch Palmer

Well! Imagine that! I always assumed he would pick someone with a distinguished record of loyal service like you. Instead, he selects a washed-up pop star? It boggles the mind.

Thomas Eichhorst

A narrow mind is easily boggled.

Eldritch Palmer

Well, it's not for us to question. The Master does or does not. In this case he did, but not with you.
