Private Practice 6.06

Absolute perfection. Addie will always be my most favorite character.

10/10

Private Practice 6.07

I thought Jake’s episode would be boring, and there I was surprised! Seeing Kate at the cinema, yes, God, yes.

10/10

Dexter 7.08

‘You’re a serial killer and I’m more fucked up than you are.’

Is this crazy? You and me just sitting here eating breakfast?
I always eat breakfast, it’s important.

10/10

SVU 14.08

‘I’ve been doing this for a long time… and I understand the shame and the stigma. But keeping the abuse secret… doesn’t make it go away.’

7/10

Castle 5.08

We’re here to save you.

You parked here? Are you kiddinh me, don’t you see this neighboorhood?
Yeah, keep on walking.
Kate broke the car’s window.
Hidning in the playground.
Martha’s all ‘pricinct is my theatre’.
Oh, please stop, you’re a terrible actress.
You got trouble written all over you.
Martha and Kate’s father.
Just an average white guy walking through the Bronz in the middle of the night, what could go wrong.
Shakespeare over here made a call.
How she threw her hands on him.

Bones 8.07

Human?
I’ve never smelled anything like that. I suppose this could be…
Do not fall into the evidence, Dr.Hodgins. It would only add to your humiliation.
Dr. Hodgins foolishly inhaled nauseous gases emanating from the remains and he fainted.
How are you gonna fit a murder into that?
Why does your office smell like Thanksgiving?
You’re a political ezile, that’s so cool, in a terrible way of course.
I’m not buttering her up. You want some wine?
I think you did.
Oh my God.
Yeah, I know.
I love you. You’re my corroborator.
Who dreams about murder at 3 am in the morning?
Seriously?
The hell you are.
Gotcha.
I don’t have reasons.

X Factor 22.18 and 2.19

Vino Alan came in third third week in a row and Tate Stevens lost to Carly Rose, but that’s okay, cause she was incredible! Beatrice Miller was my third favorite, and even though she sang Chasing Cars (Hi, Greys), this week was her weakest. Very sad to see her go. Carly and Cece Frey are up one spot on my list! The rest of the contestants can go home.

Go On 1.09

Nothing special, not really funny.

American Horror Story 2.06

The second season is disappointing.

Grey’s Anatomy 9.06

Cristina is back, and Alex and her are living at Mer’s. Callie’s speech to Derek. Jo is annoying, but the rest of the episode was pretty amazing.

8/10

Private Practice 6.05

Weakest episode of the series? Sadly yes. I really thought there could not be an average episode of this incredible show, then Shonda tells us the story of the character nobody cares about anymore. Why do I have a feeling it was Addie who got drunk at her graduation party not her mother?

5/10

SVU 14.07

Not as good as the previous one, but still SVU good.

8/10

Dexter 7.07

To save her for your table.
Yeah, why won’t you guys wait outside while we’re in here vomiting.
Code, huh? Sometimes life just needs to be taken, there’s no need to dress it up.
I think you’re just afraid to admit that you enjoy killing.
You ever wonder what It would be like if you didn’t have all these rules?
She isn’t drown to my darkness like Lila or blinded to it like Rita, and she doesn’t need it like Lumen. She accepts both sides of me. The whole Dexter. So why am I walking away from this? Because when some chemicals mix they combust and explode.
That fucking bitch is gonna get away with it again.

6/10

Revenge 2.07

Incredible episode. I do wish they showed us less Jack and Amanda, and the bar story, and more Emily Nolan relationship. I do not like Aidan, there is something off about him.

‘You were this close, Mason. But u missed d one thing that’s been right under your nose the whole time. She’s not Amanda Clarke.’ ‘You are.’

‘You and I are already doomed. Let them think we’re laying down, and when the time comes, I say we drag them to hell with us.’

‘I have always been and will continue to be your strongest advocate. So don’t keep secrets. You’ll only have to regret them.’

‘Nolan, your company, everything that you’ve worked for…’ ‘Means nothing if it could potentially hurt the only real family I’ve ever had.’

‘Victoria had nothing to do with what happened to David. It was all me. The man was stealing my wife. I wanted him to feel the same level of pain that he’d inflicted on me.’

‘Shut up! Kneel down! The blindfolds! Put them on. Put them on now!’ ‘I’m sorry, Victoria.’

‘Penance is a sacrifice.A voluntary punishment to show remorse for a sin.The more grievous d sin, the greater the self-inflicted suffering. For some, the ultimate penance is death. But for others, it is simply a means to an end.’

‘To properly do penance, one must express contrition for one’s sins…And perform acts to repair the damage caused by those transgressions.’

‘It is only when those acts are complete that the slate can truly be wiped clean…And amnesty gives way to a new beginning.’

10/10

Bones 8.06

Incredible 9/11 episode.

I spent so much time trying to control my life. I thought it meant that I was strong, but… I was just afraid.
What the hell does that mean?
Some crazy ass white thing.
Follow me.
How can anyone of you do your job, if what you really want is for one of your other team mates to fail.
Every team has a star, my friend.

10/10

Castle 5.07

Espo wanting to kick guy’s ass.
You’re welcome, America. 
This is inappropriate workplace behavior! Our suspect’s alibi hinges on this. Oh. Oh Gates is my new favorite!
More than accommodating.
And Lanie too.
And Sir!
All footage, sir?
Espo singing.
I am starting to like Ryan a bit more this season.

3.5/10

American Horror Story 2.05

Beautifully sickening, but maybe a little over board, a little too much for one episode. I was right who the murder was, and the kiss her lips, I ripped other teeth was an amazing scene. Still I was disappointed that he was the killer.

7/10

Suburgatory 2.05

Slightly better than the previous one, but Tessa’s mother is terribly annoying.

3/10

Go On 1.08

Weakest episode so far. Not really to laugh and I don’t think anyone even likes Jolanda. Everyone dressed as Alice in The Wonderland characters costumes and a new intro.

1/10

X Factor 22.16 and 2.17

Tate Stevens earned the most votes second week in a row and Vino Alan came in third again! Yes, America, yes! Another incredible episode. I was sad to see Lyric 145 go, Simon should have let them stay with hip hop, they were amazing! What is Arin still doing there? I cried when they called Cece’s name and she was all ‘Oh my God’, that was beautiful. Cece is good, Demi just doesn’t know what to do with her. Someone should just tell her to choose songs for her where she can only sing with her amazing high note, not with the lower one, which she sadly cannot do.

Grey’s Anatomy 9.05

Why oh why did he have to die? Please tell me Cristina is not coming back to Minnesota.

‘Sometimes things are simply out of your control. You can’t change them. You can’t bend them to your will. It doesn’t matter if you’re already 45 minutes late, if your hair isn’t brushed, and you haven’t fixed breakfast, and you’re haemorrhaging brain cells by the second while you sit here… Dying… Dying inside.’

Don’t hold your breath. You stop thinking when you stop breathing. Breathe. Please, God, breathe.’

‘Lexie’s dead.’ ‘Yeah… Everyone’s dead.’

Does anybody know what we’re doing now? 30 second dance party. Dance or you’re fired.’

‘You have greatness in you, Yang. Don’t disappoint.’

‘You will be the surgeon of your generation. I knew that as soon as I met you. People will try to diminish you, as they did me. And they will fail.’

‘Do not panic. Don’t panic.’

‘I can’t move. I need to move, but I can’t. I think I may be frozen to this spot. Literally frozen.’

‘Please tell me you’re as miserable as I am.’

‘You’re afraid to fly. You’re not going anywhere.’

‘Look, If I’m going, I want to go down fighting for something that I believe in.’

Please don’t make me strangle you.

I’m not a spoon, I’m a knife and I’m gonna stab you in your eyeball.

I can’t look at you. I can’t look at you either.

Well, you’re in a mood.

Don’t get emotional, just eat it.

Is anybody gonna help me?!

Hands off the patient now! Grey!

Now I know what the end of the world feels like and I don’t wanna feel that again.

You love me more than anybody has in a very long time.

Don’t say this is Lexie. It’s not Lexie.

Thank God I don’t have children, they would be just like you.
Oh come on, I’m your dream come true
That is the truth.

I was trapped under something. You were there. You were there right? I was.

10/10

Dexter 7.06

When you like to kill, you don’t just stop.
Don’t you have more pressing concerns?
Why do you think I need to kill so badly?
Why are you so concerned she’s still a killer?
I know that face.
Mother fucker, you were together, like a couple. I remember having a thought that whoever was doing it, was doing it for love. I was right after Rita died, you had that tenant, with that weird fucking name, Lumen. t was her wasn’t it? It was. Jesus fucking Christ Dexter, you moved your girlfriend into the house where Trinity murdered your wife so you could kill together?
I felt guilty abut what happened to Rita, I thought that maybe if I helped Lumen… I was trying to make things right.
Of course. By murdering five other people.
Why can’t the past just stay in the past, do we have to keep talking about this?
I really need to kill someone.
I wanna take you out.
On a date?
That’ll work.
The girl who stabbed a woman in cold blood.
Just to hold on to the fantasy. No, now I do everything it takes to make sure I don’t lose myself like that again.
I’m just trying to do the right thing.
Do the wrong thing.
I think I burned out Deb. I’m so focused on work that I forgot to have a life.
If you show it to me, I’ll totally make out with you.
Best first date ever.
All of us have some kind of longing. A need crying out to be net. Some of us get what we want, and we’re happy. But some of us are never satisfied.
When I said I wanted to take you out, this is what I meant. This is what keeps me up at night. This is what I long for. This is what I need to fill my emptiness.

The kids were playing ‘let’s kill people’ and the faceless man came.

Go away, Satan.

I admired her purity, her innocence. And that’s gone.
Drunk Jessica’s character introducing the film.
Where’s that God damn Mexican.
There you are, whore.
Where do you think you’re going? Whore.
Now? But the Christians are about to be eaten.
I guess we found a Mexican.
Rape. Oh that’s reach coming from you.
He caught off her legs.
We know what’s in the woods.
She didn’t see it was them trying to escape.

She’s gonna be a creature.
Doctor, I have been this way since I can remember. There’s no cure.
I am Anne Frank.
Nobody was safe in Auschwitz.
You killed the thing you loved the most.
I did everything I could think of to survive and then I did everything what I had to do to get out.
What am I? Crazy or sane. Am I a killer?
I don’t care whatever you are. I’ll be with you.
I didn’t know what has gotten into you lately, sister, but It is a decided improvement.
Are you purposely trying to make a killer baby?
Sterilisation for both of you.
Actually I’m gonna ask you to touch yourself .And try to focus on his genitals. Now take your other hand and place it on…

Keep touching yourself. You’re doing a great work, we’re all routing for you.
Daniel will take off his robe and you will regard his physic.
Have I opened our eyes? Are you repulsed by what I am.
No, I admire you.

Castle 5.06

I’m your number one fan.
How far they fall.
Good to see you.
If only the feeling was mutual.
You should have seen her as Lieutenant Chloe, oh wait, you can.
Kate Beckett! Kate Bex!
Isn’t it fracking awesome?
It’s fracking something.
In your dreams.
Look at my life, my dreams come true.
Detective Beckett and non-detective Castle.
Oh my God, Alexis!
Dad? What are you doing here?
What are you doing here dressed like that?!
Don’t wear clothes?!
Oh I’m embarrassing you? I’m the one who’s dressed.
Didn’t you see what she’s wearing? Not that bad? How am I gonna unsee that?
Castle, she is a fall grown woman.
Yeah, I could probably see you as an elf or a hobbit.
You should have seen the UPS guy, he almost wet himself.
If I wake up bold tomorrow, you’d still be attracted to me? Oh my God, you wouldn’t.
With that pumpkin head, dude.
I completely understand why you hated it., buy , Castle, I also understand why people loved it. It was about leaving home for the first time, about searching for your identity, and making a difference. I loved dressing up. She didn’t care what anybody thought about her and I kinda did at that time. It was like I could be anything and I didn’t have to choose, so don’t make fun, okay?

Bones 8.05

Leather face and Jack the Ripper references!

Bones dancing.
Admission. Cleansing. Celebrating.

Revenge 2.06

Oh my! Mason knows they switched! I don’t know why I like him so much this season, maybe because of Roger’s recent appearance on SVU?

To successfully create an illusion, the first thing you need is trust. But to perfect an illusion, the false reality must appear as authentic as the one it hides. Careful attention must be paid to every detail. The slightest of imperfections can, like a pin to a balloon, burst the illusion…And the truth behind the illusion becomes revealed.

6/10

Suburgatory 2.04

I want you to make me disappear.
If you look up rock bottom in the dictionary, there’s a picture of Evan in a top hat.
Tessa caring about Dalia.

SVU 14.03

Those who can’t do, blog.
Taking down rapist. That is ours.
We mixed it up a bit. Sometimes I was on top, sometimes she was.
You could put a diploma on it, porn is porn.
Did you tell anyone?
You know if you keep it locked inside it doesn’t go away.
Then you asked him to stop.
By keeping quiet, you’re giving him power over you.
You were raped.
You told them what he did to you, you confronted him, no one will take that away from you.
I don’t need to rape anyone, thank you. I do fine with volunteers.
Show me how she likes it. Show me how she liked it.
Is this what excites you about sex? Hunting your victim.
SVU is the only unit, where the victim’s word isn’t good enough. You have to prove that a crime was committed.
That’s true. No one asks robbery victims if they wanted it.
Good thing about America, this country loves a comeback.

SVU 14.04

So he brands them, pimps them and kills them.
You want me to sing you guys a song?
Lord No.
Ice T plays a pimp.
Liv and Amanda spent the night together.
Soon, we hope.
Oh, nice.
Amanda and Nick in uniforms, playing taxi cops.
Amanda drinking from that straw.
We’re gonna keep you safe. That’s a promise.
She’s answered an add for a nanny job.
Welcome to America.
They showed me pictures odf my little sister back home. They said their friends would take her if I didn’t do everything they say.
They’re whores, can’t rape a whore.
It’s amazing, you are as stupid as you look.
Your dad called you a fat moron.
Beats me, getting a bikini wac.
SVU takes down Alkaida.
Amanda grabbing a girl, and oh that was so good.
Who do you think I am? I am just a whore.
We can have you ecamined and when we do we’re gonna find out you’re a virgin. Aren’t we?
How can a whore be a virgin?
She can’t.
And you were hid among girls who were being raped, who were inslaved and you let that happen.
I was sorry for them, but there is so many people to be sorry for.
All that time together, two of you, was like we were married.
But you weren’t.

10/10

SVU 14.05

Cold case gave up. Just like you did.
I’d love to get over to your unit and see some live bodies for a change.
Nothing’s fair in law and order.
Why? Because he kept looking when you stopped.
Just because he’s crazy, doesn’t mean he’s wrong.
All the flashbacks.

SVU 14.06

Amanda centring episode was amazing. When Liv and Amanda tell the girl her family is still looking for her and we find out her father did not make it, breathtaking.

Greys 9.04

No! Let me go.
You’re suffering.
Yang helped the old guy.
I’m trying.
He had a beard and lived in the woods!
Because when you know who you are, it’s easier to know what you’re about. And ultimately what you really need. It might be hard to admit, but there’s no shame in simply being human. It can be a relief to stop hiding, to accept who you really are and let the world see you that way too. A little self awareness never hurt anyone. Because when you know who you are, it’s easier to know what you’re about, what you really need.
Owen in the woods and Christina’s friends with the old guy!

Private Practice 6.04

Char vomited on a guy and said Welcome to Saint Ambrose.
It never rains in California.
This is Los Angeles it doesn’t rain this time of year.
No it’s all in his head, but he still can’t move his legs.
Sure, don’t mind me, I’ll just push the kid out in a gas station.
Char, you shouldn’t use a mouthwasher right after a puke.
SVU case!
Damn it, Sheldon. You look like James Bond?
Which one?
I was always partial to Sean Connery.
Charlotte and I have already been through so much, the kind of stuff that a lot of couples don’t make it through, but we did. We made it through, and we came out even stronger and even more in love. And you know what that means? It means we are badass.
What did Sam exactly tell you about me?
Absolutely nothing.
I would think the same Sheldon have.
She’s a missing person.
I feel sorry for Stephanie, she seems great, and way too good for Sam.
I am about a hundred years older than I look.
She is not gonna walk through that door.

They say, ‘Let he who is without sin cast the first stone’ and ‘To be without sin requires absolute forgiveness.’ But when your memories are freshly opened wounds, forgiveness is the most unnatural of human emotions.
Victoria, I’m so glad you’re safe.
I wanna see you here in 1 hour!
Should have been there for you, I’m sorry.
Why did you save me, all those years ago?
God, I love the Hamptons.
Mason Tredwell is back!
She didn’t recognise her own daughter!
When I was 5 my mother tried to kill me, she succeeded, actually, she frowned me, my father had to bring me back to life.
Kara telling the fake Amanda that she grew into an amazing woman and Emily listening to it.
What is wrong with you? Conrad proposed.
After everything we’ve been through.
Maybe because of it.
You may be many things but the daughter of Karal Wallace and David Clark is one thing you most definitely are not.

Dexter 8.04

I knew she would think he killed Rita, and that makes me furious.
Are you capable of love?
I have to fucking answer to her skinny ass.
This incredible scene:
And then take her anyway that they wanted. You could hear how much she loved being fucked by all those men. All the things she could do with her mouth, same mouth that she would kiss you with. But be honest you kinda liked it, didn’t you? Were you kind of wishing it was you inside her?
It is not fair of you to ecpose a child to your life…choices. You have to decide your desires or…
You’re like a fucking magnet, bad shit is gonna find you.
You were too late for Rita.
It is not in your control.
Everything is in my control.
Someone needs to protect him from you.
You said it yourself Decter that you cannot stop, you don’t wanna stop.
I miss the I felt on the road. That life was just a beginning. And anything was possible.
But there’s something I can do.
Room filled with all the manequines.
It’s time for everyone to move on.
Fuck! Fuck!
Goodbye friends.
How do you feel?
Glad. What does that make me?
Human.

Dexter  8.05

I did everything in my power to protect her from you, what you really are.
A monster.
You didn’t think she could handle it, because you couldn’t, but Deb is stronger than you are.
Get the fuck away from my desk.
Someone died here, someone I didn’t kill.
I’ll look into this, just fucking relax.
Deb having a breakdown in an elevator.
This is never gonna end, is it?
I don’t give a fuck Dexter.
Obviously you don’t know Dexter, cause this is normal to you., but trust me this is not fucking normal to me. I have already helped you cover up 2 murders, 3, this makes 3, and a fucking bartender, oh my fucking God, oh my God, how did this become my life?
Wow, what a bloodbath.
Fucking God Bless America.
A year ago, I might have been right beside you, following what I thought was right. But the hardest lesson that I’ve learned as lieutenant is knowing where to back the fuck down.
She killed that woman.
I don’t want to be involved in that part of your life.
I don’t want you to be.
I know you’re not gonna stop. But I don’t wanna know about it.

Suburgatory 2.01

So while everyone was cultivating stage 3 of skin cancer, I spent my summer living in a loophole. But like all loopholes, eventually It had to close.
Sorry, guys, loophole closes at 3 am now.
Dad! Dad!
I know you!
Chatswin, bitches.
He hanged the child and then used him to hold his coffee.

Pretty Little Liars Halloween Episode

Night of living preschoolers.
The train party is an intriguing idea.
Oh that girl is creepy.
This is a high school dance.
Oh how Paige came to Spencer’s rescue.
Aria lying in the coffin with dead Gareth, this just got really good, amazing scene.
Paige, thank you.
It was a pleasure. this. this.
Noah all we knew you did this.
I guess we’ve found Ali’s body.
And what the hell was up with the ending.

5.5/10

Factor 2.12 and 2.13

When I finally liked Sister C, Simon eliminated them from the contest. I did not like 1432’s version of Skyscraper, there was something happy in it with should never be. Tate Stevens has to win. Vino Alan needs to be with him in the finale or win. I may have not entirely liked this version of Nickelback, but it was Nickelback, damn it. Judges chose some really bad songs for the first episode live. I liked maybe one or two and was dissapointed with the rest of them. Beatrice Miller is my third favorite, I got a bit emotional when she said she would not think Britney would chose her first over Carly. Diamond should stay, not the guy. I did not like David Correy’s version of Since You’ve Been gone, it was a yell of desperation. I am glad Lyric 123 went through, though the song should be better, but they did rock the house anyway. I really liked Emblem 3’s song at the auditions, I even catch myself singing it, but then I stopped liking them, and now I am not a fan, but I see why they went through. Is it just me or did the only good hair Demi chose is for herself? All the other girls just looked better in their natural hair styles. Cece should not have let Demi choose a song where she has to sing with her lower voice. Paige, I did not like the performance, it was way too much. I like her voice though. Am I happy with the eliminations? Not with the groups and not with the teens, young adults maybe as well, I might have kicked Paige out. Or in this case I think Cece, cause she will make it later, even if she gets eliminated next episode, she is determined enough, and Willie, people will forget about him and his incredible country voice. The over 25? I’m happy with the elimination.

Welcome to ReviewThisFilm

This website started as weekly reviews on movies and tv episodes, and a diary of the 700 new films I watched every year. Today it’s a place for me to write a few words on films and tv shows that leave some sort of impact on me. I no longer write in depth reviews, partially thanks to bad habits gained by spending many hours a day on Letterboxd, and partially because of my demanding day job.

If you have a film you would like me to watch and review,  please leave a comment.

Enjoy!

dysfunctional families | troubled childhoods

psychological | independent | drama | horror

At the pictures 10 times a month. I rate films within genre. I watch all interesting titles about to expire on Netflix and HBO Go. I’m nostalgic and reminisce a lot. Over the years I’ve seen 140 TV Shows.

26. Polish-British and proud of both of my citizenships.

About me

I am the dark and twisty Meredith Grey, the mad Dexter Morgan, hoping to grow up to be a little more like the wise, but fun Nora Walker. I am an aspiring filmmaker. My favorite actresses are Jodie Foster, Sally Field and Julianne Moore. Favorite genre – psychological drama. I watch anything with a sexual or mental abuse plot. I used to be a horror freak. I am obsessed with Grey’s Anatomy, SVU and many more. My other interests include making oil and pencil portraits and wildlife conservation. I cannot say no to beautiful landscapes, travel, Aussie accent, TV/film quotes and avocados. I have recently moved back from Australia to the UK. I’ve been running this blog for the last 9 years. Here I comment on films and episodes I watch. Enjoy! – Joanne

favourite film and tv quotes

‘When I lived in Porpoise Spit, I used to sit in my room for hours and listen to ABBA songs. But since I’ve met you and moved to Sydney, I haven’t listened to one Abba song. That’s because my life is as good as an Abba song. It’s as good as Dancing Queen.’ (Muriel’s Wedding)

‘I used to think about
your life in New York. I tried to imagine your room. I kept track of the time difference, so I  knew when you were awake and when you were asleep.’ (Disobedience)

‘Nothing’s clean, Howard. But we do our best, right?’ (The Aviator)

‘No, I’m not quitting. I don’t quit things.’
‘No, actually you do. Your mother quit your father. Your father quit you. You quit your boyfriend and if I read your hospital chart correctly you quit your life momentarily on a couple of occasions. You quit. It’s what you know how to do.’ (Greys)

‘Where the hell was I that year?’
‘Your were watching television’. (Everybody Loves Raymond)

‘It’s impossible to worry about anything else when there’s blood coming out of you.’
(Short Term 12)

‘I wanted it to happen. And when we were girls… Even then, it was the same. It’s always been this way! I have always wanted it.’ (Disobedience)

‘Sometimes it’s easy, sometimes you play games in your head. You make up someone, someone good.’ (Greys)

‘There comes a moment when our lives change forever. The moment we admit our weaknesses, the moment we rise to a challenge, the moment we accept a sacrifice, or let a loved one go. And sometimes the change in our lives is an answer to our prayers.’ (Desperate Housewives)

‘Yesterday I went to the movies all day by myself. One after the other. I’ve never done that before. I had a really happy day.’ (Doing Time for Patsy Cline)

‘I just need something to happen. I need a sign that things are going to change. I need a reason to go on. I need some hope. And in the absence of hope, I need to stay in bed a feel like I might die today.’ (Greys)

‘She saved me my whole life. Without her, I’m nothing.’ (The Favourite)

‘Don’t wonder why people go crazy. Wonder why they don’t. In face of what we can lose in a day, in an instant, wonder what the hell it is that make us hold it together.’  (Greys)

‘Bree sobbed quietly in the restroom for five miutes, but her husband never knew, because when Bree finally emerged, she was perfect.’ (Desperate Housewives)

‘I am not food, you cannot just eat and eat.’ (The Favourite)

‘I don’t love him.’
‘Of course you do.’
‘No!’
‘Don’t take me for a fool Olive,  I’m many things but I’m not a fool.’
‘I know that, you’re brilliant.’
‘Don’t you see, it’s over. Whatever this is, was, it’s over.’
‘I love You.’ (Professor Marston and the Wonder Women)

‘At the end of the day, the fact that we have the courage to still be standing, is reason enough to celebrate.’ (Greys)

‘Many years ago, a neighbour and a good friend of ours took her life, and that left us all heartbroken and perplexed. But somehow, when I was alone in that hotel room, I forget about all the pain that she caused. In those awful moments, I thought maybe she had the answer.‘ (Desperate Housewives)

‘What happened last year when you fell in the water?’
‘I almost drowned. Do you think I did that for kicks?’
‘You put your hand in a body cavity that contained unexploded ammunition.’
‘I was trying to save a patient!’
‘Why is it that every other person in that room had the sense to hit the deck? You know people run away from this line between life and death. You seem to stand on it and wait for a strong wind to sway you one way or the other. You’re careless with your life. You’re not slitting your wrists but you’re careless. Probably because your mother told you you were a waste of space on this planet. The problem is you believed her. And if you don’t want out one of these days you’re going to die because of it.’  (Greys)

‘This is the street where I used to live and these were the people with whom I shared my life. I met them the day they moved in. And I saw what they brought with them. Beautiful dreams for the future. And quiet hopes for a better life. Not just for themselves, but for their children, too. If I could, would I tell them what lies ahead? Would I warn them of the sorrow and betrayal that lie in store? No. From where I stand now, I see enough of the road to understand how it must be traveled. The trick is to keep moving forward, to let go of the fear and the regret that slow us down and keep us from enjoying a journey that will be over too soon. Yes, there will be unexpected bends in the road, shocking surprises we didn’t see coming, but that’s really the point. Don’t you think?’ (Desperate Housewives)

‘Was your life not working when you let that slip out from under you?’
‘When are you going to stop suggesting that I’m suicidal?’
‘When you start acting like someone that wants to be alive.’
‘Give me my chart.’
‘Why?’
‘Because I’m not suicidal, and if it says that I am, then it’s wrong.’ (Greys)

‘There is nothing wrong with me.’
‘Then show me your arm.’ (Degrassi)

‘Look, my whole life, I have been the freak. The girl who nobody picked for dodgeball. The girl who didn’t have a mom. The girl who dressed funny because it was her dad buying her clothes. And then, tonight I looked at these people, and I thought maybe there’s a future where I don’t have to be a freak. Maybe I can be who I am and that’s okay.’ (Everything Sucks)

‘Dr, I have been this way since…since I can remember. There is no cure.’ (American Horror Story)

‘He was so crazy about me, I couldn’t breathe. So we tried drinking our way back into love, but it never made sense in the morning. So I ran. And every time I came back, he was here. And he was still crazy about me.’ (My Blueberry Nights)

‘Bree van de Kamp had always wanted to live her life with elegance and grace. That is also how she wanted to die. Her plan was to pour herself a glass of her favorite chardonnay, put on her most stylish nightgown and leave behind a note on embossed stationery.’ (Desperate Housewives)

‘All we have is this moment. The future is just a fucking concept that we use to avoid being alive today. So be… here…. now.’ (Six Feet Under)

‘On the train coming here, we were in the same cart, I saw you, you were reading and you feel asleep. I didn’t dare to look at you, you were so beautiful, it was scary. Afterwards,  I couldn’t stop thinking about you. It made me smile. Then I thought of all the men who would get to hold you, who’d make you laugh. How lucky they were.’ (Enemy at the Gates)

‘It was a good day. Maybe even a great day. Even when it was hard, I was the me in my head. There was a moment when I thought I cant do this, I cant do this alone. I close my eyes and imagine myself doing it, and I did, I blocked out the fear, and I did it.’ (Greys)

‘There comes a time when we must expose our weaknesses. When our secrets can no longer remain private, when our solitude can no longer be denied, when our pain can no longer be ignored, but sometimes we feel so alone that a weakness we thought we’d overcome suddenly becomes too strong to fight.’ (Desperate Housewives)

‘Why did you get married, Esti? Why didn’t you just leave? So everything was all right when I left?’
‘No. I was ill.’
‘What sort of ill?’
‘In my head.’
‘If I had to sleep with a man, why not with our best friend?’
‘Oh, Esti…’
‘It hasn’t been a complete disaster.’
‘And that’s enough?! Do you have to have sex every Friday?’
‘It’s expected.’
‘It’s medieval. What happened to you?’
‘Nothing. You happened to me. And then I started teaching and that became important. I give them ambition.’
‘To do what? Push out seven babies and be a good wife?’
‘Don’t. Don’t. I help them to value themselves.’
‘Okay, but what about you?’
‘That is me. And you? Are you happy?’
‘Yes, I am.’
‘Have you been with other women?’
‘No. Not really. And you?’
‘No.’
‘But, Esti… Do you still
only fancy women?’ (Disobedience)

‘OK, then, listen. Let’s not get caught.’
‘What are you talkin’ about?’
‘Let’s keep goin’!’
‘What d’you mean?’
‘Go.’
‘You sure?’
‘Yeah. Yeah.’ (Thelma & Louise)

‘She let me live at Nora’s house. She let me believe that I was a part of their family. I fell in love with that family. What am I supposed to do, just sit there, pretend I’m related to them? I was happy. For the first time in my life I was happy.’ (Brothers and Sisters)

‘You will be left all alone with your bitterness and your rage and your knowledge that you loved her and she loved you and you threw it away for them.’
‘Do you love her?’
‘Yes.’
‘And Have you always?’
‘Yes.’
‘So then ask her.’
‘Olive, will you forgive me?’ (Professor Marston and the Wonder Women)

‘No razors, no scissors, no fucking freedom.’
(Short Term 12)

‘You can’t take a picture of this. It’s already gone.’ (Six Feet Under)
