It's that time of the week again where we talk about the best dialogue on TV.
Let's see what's in store!
Beth: I'm gonna read to you.
Rip: OK.
Beth: My great-grandfather had a dream. All of his sons on the same road, the same ranch working toward the same goal. That dream survived a hundred year, until me. With me, it died. I didn't have enough sons. They just kept dying or quitting. And one day, not too long ago, I realized that I have enough sons after all.
Rip: I don't understand, Beth.
Beth: He's sayin' it's yours.
Rip: Mine?
Beth: Yours.
Josh: Then just say it. Just say it. Say you love him more than you love me.
Liza: Is that what you need to hear?
Josh: Yes.
Liza: Then fine. I love him more.
Josh: You know, you forget Liza. I know you. I know when you're lying, especially to yourself. You wrote a letter to the wrong guy.
Tommy: How would you feel if something really bad happened to him?
Tariq: To be honest Uncle Tommy, I don't know. I'm not sure.
Tommy: Well, whatever happens, Riq. I'll always answer my phone for you.
Tariq: I know. Same here, Uncle Tommy.
Charley: The arrogance of mediocre white men never ceases to astound me.
Jacob: It’s not arrogance, Charley, it’s power. I told you my family stops at nothing that gets in their way.
Christine [to Gabrielle]: Some of your castmates are great social media whores. You could learn from them.
Gabrielle: Wow. So many levels there.
Teresa: I run a drug cartel.
Eddie: Are you serious?
Teresa: Every minute you spend with me you are in danger. I need you to go away. Don’t come back.
Santiago: So, you did this for me?
Gigi: Santiago I did this for us.
Santiago: Ay dios mio. After all these years, you still know how to surprise me.
Liza: She got the money, honey. And that is why you have a job. That is why we all have a job. She's a goddamn hero.
Lauren: Told you. Shero.
Jessica: I tell myself I took this job to make a difference, but sometimes ...
Angela: Sometimes, what?
Jessica: Sometimes, I think I'm that same ambitious woman who ran that law firm.
Angela: Then don't be.
Warden: You asshole. You hijacked my ship.
Johnny: Yeah, but then Sparlow and Jeers hijacked our hijack so it's kind of a wash.
Kevin, there's no such thing as perfect, and you don't need perfect because you have each other.
Jess
OK. We're such shitty hunters that we just shooting piggies in a barrel. We might as well just throw a grenade at the pigs.
Tom
Jason: Kyler's the exact same age you were when we started 90210. She's strong-willed, hotheaded, looking to rebel.
Jennie: Hm, yes. Well must be karma.
Jason: She wants to be just like you. But she doesn't want you to know that.
Jennie: She's doing a very good job of hiding it.
Jason: It's difficult to fail in front of the person you want to be like, especially at her age.
Jennie: You're making a lot of sense. It's really irritating.
Ghost: She shoved me out of the way. She saved my life. How many times did you say she was gonna pick herself over me, huh? You were wrong. Say it! You were fucking wrong.
Proctor: And I said I'm sorry. I was wrong.
Ralph Angel: Look, Deesha, you are an amazing woman. I just, I just wish…
Deesha: You didn’t have other obligations?
Ralph Angel: I guess. They ain’t even obligations. I can just see now that if she’s hurting, I’m hurting. If she bleed, I bleed. I ain’t even sure it’s much of a choice at this point but I’m still in love with Darla.
Deesha: What you just said is one of the most beautiful things a man can say to a woman but I’m not the woman you’re talking about and I respect myself too much to play second fiddle.
Ralph Angel: You deserve more than that.
Deesha: I know I do but I wish you well, Ralph Angel. Blue and Darla too.
Byron: Sorry but your sister is fire. I mean, you should have seen all the butter faces I had to swipe left on, but for you, I'd swipe right all day long.
Carolina: So romantic.
Frank: Go ahead. Ask. I know what you're thinking. Did McGann kill him?
Jessica: Did he?
Frank: McGann's too smart to get his hands dirty. He always had bag men to do his dirty work for him.
Jessica: I have no idea who did his dirty work then.
Frank: You don't need to. You know who does it now.
Katarina: Well, I'm afraid that what our friend has suggests that she's met with someone close with you already.
Logan: Who?
Katarina: Well, we don't know. But someone inside.
Logan: Ken, is it you?
Kendall: Is it me? Dad. Come on. Jesus.
Logan: Well, it's just historically speaking, when I'm betrayed, it's usually you. Oh, I'm kiddin' son, I'm kidding.
Oksana: The good news is that you have his attention. The bad news is that you have his attention.
Teresa: So we’re in business with Kostya?
Oksana: Yes, for better or for worse.
Trace: Right now, I'm just trying to fix what's broken.
Mick: Yeah, but you don't see her when you're not here. Abby's my daughter, Trace. I'm just looking out for her.
Trace: I'm not leaving again. I'm here to stay.
Rip: He called me a son.
Beth: Yeah, baby. He sure did.
