Game of Thrones (S8-E2) ...death

Gendry: This is death. You want to know what they’re like. Death. That’s what they’re like.

Arya Stark: I know death. He’s got many faces. I look forward to seeing this one.

Game of Thrones (S8-E1) ...nothing lasts

Tyrion Lannister: Our queen respects the wisdom of age.

Varys: Of course she does. Respect is how the young keep us at a distance, so we don’t remind them of an unpleasant truth.

Tyrion Lannister: What is that?

Varys: Nothing lasts.

Russian Doll (S1-E7) ...relative to your experience

Nadia: This is not good or bad. It's just a bug. It's like if a program keeps crashing, you know? The crashing is just a symptom of a bug in the code. If the deaths are us crashing, then that moment is the bug that we need to go and fix.

Alan: But if we were supposed to help each other and we didn't, how is that not a moral issue?

Nadia: What do time and morality have in common? Relativity. They're both relative to your experience. I need a visual aid. All right, so our universe has three spatial dimensions, so it's hard for us to picture a four-dimensional world. But, you know, computers do it all the time. Now lucky for you, I have the capacity to think like a computer. What's this?

Alan: Oh. It's a rotten orange.

Nadia: In a two-dimensional world, it's a circle. In a three-dimensional world, it's a sphere. But in a four-dimensional world…

Alan: It's still ripe.

Nadia: Time is relative to your experience. We've been experiencing time differently in these loops. But this, this tells us that somewhere time, linear time, as we used to understand it, still exists.

Russian Doll (S1-E7) ...life changing

Alan Zaveri (to Nadia Volvokov):

You are the most selfish person I have ever met. Thank you for changing my life. Lives are hard to change.

Game of Thrones (S6-E4) ...small men

Daenerys Targaryen: And here, now, what great matters do the Great Khals discuss? Which little villages you’ll raid, how many girls you’ll get to fuck, how many horses you’ll demand in tribute. You are small men. Under you, the Dothraki will be a small people. None of you is fit to lead them. But I am. So I will.

Khal Moro: You crazy cunt. Did you really think we would serve you?

Daenerys Targaryen: You’re not going to serve. You’re going to die.

Game of Thrones (S7-E3) ...people’s minds

Jon Snow: How do I convince people who don’t know me that an enemy they don’t believe in is coming to kill them all?

Tyrion Lannister: Good question.

Jon Snow: I know it’s a good question. I’m looking for an answer.

Tyrion Lannister: People’s minds aren’t made for problems that large. White walkers, the night king, army of the dead. It’s almost a relief to confront a comfortable, familiar monster like my sister.

Sherlock (S1-E3) ...caring

John Watson: There are lives at stake, Sherlock. Actual human lives. Just so I know, do you care about that at all?

Sherlock Holmes: Will caring about them help save them?

John Watson: Nope.

Sherlock Holmes: Then I'll continue not to make that mistake.

John Watson: And you find that easy, do you?

Sherlock Holmes: Yes. Very. Is that news to you?

John Watson: No. No.

Sherlock Holmes: I've disappointed you.

John Watson: That's good. That's a good deduction, yeah.

Sherlock Holmes: Don't make people into heroes, John. Heroes don't exist, and if they did, I wouldn't be one of them.

Game of Thrones (S7-E3) ...every possible series of events

Littlefinger (to Sansa)

Fight every battle everywhere always in your mind. Everyone is your enemy. Everyone is your friend. Every possible series of events is happening all at once. Live that way, and nothing will surprise you. Everything that happens will be something that you’ve seen before.

Elementary (S2-E12) ...one of them

Sherlock Holmes: You could have killed Agent Mattoo. And from your perspective, it would have been the expedient thing.

Jamie Moriarty: And yet, to you, it would have been repugnant. Tell me, is that how you learned to be one of them? By learning to care how your actions seemed in the eyes of another?

Sherlock Holmes: I'm not sure I am one of them.

[expressionbytes]

Elementary (S1-E24) ...puzzles and games

Jamie Moriarty: You look at people, and you see puzzles. I see games. You, you're a game I'll win every time.

Sherlock Holmes: You might as well just kill me now, because whatever it is you're going to do, I'll stop you.

Jamie Moriarty: I would never kill you. Not in a million years. You may not be as unique as you thought, darling, but you're still a work of art. I appreciate art.

"The Crooked Kind"  by Radical Face

I heard you tellin' lies I heard you say you weren't born of our blood I know we're the crooked kind But you're crooked too, boy, and it shows Some get dealt simple hands Some walk the common paths, all nice and worn But all folks are damaged goods It ain't a talk of "if," just one of "when" and "how" So, collect your scars and wear 'em well Your blood's as good an ink as any Go scratch your name into the clouds And pull 'em all... down The thunder plays it's drum The air is heavy with the smell of storms And I sit beside my brother and I feel him shake As he laughs himself right back to sleep And I'm laughin' with him But I smell their blood My finger's trace their faces in the wood I hear their voices somewhere in my bones I feel them sing along when I'm alone When I'm not too frightened that is when I know That I'm here with everyone They're never truly gone I know it's everyone And I hear their songs Oh, I'm lost with everyone Shadows dance around the room I know their names I carry their blood too They sing forgotten songs But I know the words They've been with me since I was born As I grew I danced with them too

Sherlock (S2-E1) ...think

Irene Adler:  I don't understand

Sherlock Holmes:  Try to.

Irene Adler:  Why?

Sherlock Holmes:  Because you cater to the whims of the pathetic and take your clothes off to make an impression. Stop boring me and think. It's the new sexy.

Sherlock (S2-E1) ...disguise

Irene Adler:  Do you know the big problem with a disguise, Mr. Holmes? However hard you try, it's always a self-portrait.

Sherlock Holmes:  You think I'm a vicar with a bleeding face?

Irene Adler:  No, I think you're damaged, delusional and believe in a higher power. In your case, it's yourself.
