So many shows this semester, already lost truck. Had to split the post in two. It looks like during the move, or actually two moves I’ve missplaced some notes on a few episodes, all notes on Revenge for example. I plan to rewatch them on Thursday and post them the same day.

Parenthood 6.04

I’m sorry I woke you. Why did I do that?
I’ll just put some clothes on.
That’s what they all say.
I clearly apologised.
Hi Sarah.
Here you’re headmaster Braverman.
Oh you’ve already had that discussion.
She calls me Asbergers.She also calls me a freak.
I’ll talk to her.
You might wanna rethink that.
What did I win?
I don’t want to start a boyband.
I hope to God It’s gonna stay.
Your sister Sarah was just here. She threw your mom under the bus after 2 seconds.
Parents screw their kids up.
What do you do when you like a girl?
If you’re mad at me it’s okay.
Of course Kristina’s the only one who gets it.

9/10

Parenthood 6.05

The show is so much less interesting without Lauren Graham.

Studying the trash.
You can get a ticket for driving too slow, you know.
How did Sarah get out of this thing?
That’s terrible advice.
Your dad’s number is undergoing a change as we speak.
I can work with you two.
I imagine I have a decade maybe more to change your mind.
Drew has a new room.
I still can’t believe she likes horses more than lizards.

Greys 11.04

All the flashbacks.
My memory of her is a little bit different.
Karev’s back and Maggie is going.
The carousel never stops turning. You can’t get off.
My mommy tried to kill herself.
Pierce’s in AA?
Oh my God. You don’t know anything.
Like mother, like daughters.
You and I know something about crazy mothers.
Ellen’s reaction during You gave it up for me, but I don’t want it.
You might have saved your mother’s life.
She’s my sister.
I love sisters. I’m glad you told me. It’s nice to meet you.
She’s my daughter. Mine and Ellis Grey’s.
Then she took me home and then she attempted suicide.
I should be making a lot more money.
Her water broke all over the kitchen floor .
Meredith showed Maggie the journals.
They’re not so warm. She wasn’t either.
She wanted you to be okay.

10/10

Greys 11.05

Addison was mentioned two times this episode, which is all I needed.

I came back for you. I came back for you.
I was so in love with you. I just wanted to be with you no matter what.
We find a way to help him that’s not stupid.
No break right?
I think we should take a break.
How are we supposed not to talk for a month?
Why not try what is it Callie?
Sorry, I have my own stuff.
Have you cured death yet, Meredith? When will you cure death Meredith?
Like me anx Derek cheating in Addison.
Did you get excited about her vagina?
No.
Then no.

That might come back up.
You don’t mean? 10.9.8….1
How’s the diet going.
No late night binges?
I almost had a cheesburger. Then I didn’t.
She was jelous.
Does this mean this thing might actually be working?
It’s my fault. I can’t stop the pain.

So what if we don’t tell her?
I don’t know what’s wrong with you. What are your demons?
I finally feel like I might actually survive this.
I should love me and you should love you. I want so much more for you, Arizona.

10/10

SVU 16.04

Excellent episode, the promo for next week ‘A case so twisted it can only be SVU’ describes the show accurately. I will never get over how superb this show is.

And I despite having so much to offer, am alone.
He counted out each time he stabbed her. That’s not good.
Idiots. I’m right here and no one even notices me.
He had a knife to your neck. It’s normal to freeze.
This is your fault Gigi. You had your chance.
That’s every other white guy.
I would know how to take care of you. How to worship you.
He spilled water on guy’s lap. I can’t have that.
Is this about my neighboors?
She flirted a lot with unsavoury men at that place.
They’re illegaly restricting my movement.
We need 24h surveillance on this guy.
Hold on did they ID him? 2 out of 3.
I will be coming for you.
She was young, pretty. Not a very good teacher though.
Not you, Nick. Her. You can call me Amanda.
I cannot shoot this trump.
All pretty girls lie.
Shut up I’m talking to her.
He’s been through a lot therapy. More talk won’t help.
Are tou having sex with this guy?
Girls like you always go for jerks like this.
Do you think he cares about you?
These toung girls don’t understand how special you are.
He wanted to be alone with Rollins.
I’m a woman and I wish we were somewhere else right now.

10/10

SVU 16.05

That sure is one way to pay for college. Every campus rape always happens in Hudson. Richard T Jones guest stars.

Whatever you’ve done before, it has nothing to do with being assaulted.
Film class is over.
Rollins, you’re telling me this now?
Great speech. Better headline.
At first I didn’t think you can rape a girl like that.
Whatever choices she may have made in the past, she didn’t choose this.
Can tou tell us why you dexided to work in the adult film buisness?
You hoped it would remain private? On the internet?
You understand what you’ve just described is the definition of rape.
I have ro move out by the end of the week.
She even showed her srudent ID in some of them.
A publicity stunt to jump start your porn carrier.
Makes you wonder what the point of a jury is.
And now I only have one left. Goodbye.
There are other schools.
Amanda walk away.
She’ll have sex with a dozen guys.

Bones 11.01

I love…
They tried to take your picture.
It is nice talking conspiracy without being called a loon.
You’ve clearly suffered trauma to your…(Bones talking bones talk)
Yes, I’m blackmailing you.
You promised.
No. You told me not to. It’s a significant difference.
Urine in the coffin so the acid breaks the bones.
I spent some of your money too. A lot of it, actually.
You helped her with the move, with Christine.
Are you damaging the bones?
Slightly.
Daisy’s pregnant.
He says you’re family.
I won’t hurt you.
Maybe I wasn’t the best doctor.
That’s clear.
It’s a high praise coming from you.
Hodgins switched the bones.
I’ll finally get to use my siren.
Jay Edgar Hoover?
‘Nooo God Please No’ was my original reaction to Sweets’s death.
Massive internal trauma. He’s bleeding out.
I don’t know if I can do this to him.

10/10

Bones 11.02

New opening credits and hey, let’s hire a guy who looks exactly like Lance, so we forget he was just killed off. I remember what a big deal it was when Vincent died. Maybe it felt more important because Booth and Bones finally got together, and maybe they wouldn’t if Vincent hadn’t died. But then I remember Sweets was the one who told B&B they’re in love with each other by drawing a theory they work so well together because they have feelings for each other. I’ll never forget that. Remember the heavy metal concert back in season 4? When we found out Sweets was too a foster kid and was whipped and beaten as a kid? And thanks to that we discovered Tempe was being locked for breaking the dishes? And how he was Booth’s almost partner? It’s the little things we’ll all miss.

He was family.
Uncle Sweets and Daisy are taking me to the park today.
Good job, Sweets.
Conspiracies are living organisms.
Seely, Seely, Seely. That’s what Lance wanted to call the baby.
Bones throwing the keys at Booth.
Please don’t go.
He played every night to the baby.
I’m planning his funeral.
You can love me later.
That’s why I’m riding in your bumper car. You’re a genius.
Distract me. What movies have you seen lately?
Tell me tou didn’t steal from the exhibition.
She’s always sure when she speaks.
You must have scratched yourself while injecting.
We need Sweets now. The answers are here.
Hoover’s office.
He’s here. He’s a part of us.
We are all who we are, bexause we knew Sweets.
Sweets had a song, remember?

10/10

Bones 11.03

See how he was stuck. He was obese.
Yeah, not much of a threat.
King of the lab!
He’s building a bomb.
Mexicans. Blacks. All on drugs.
They must have had sex.
I disagree. Sex and violence are two primal instincts.
Twist. Please continue.
I know a good man when I see one.
Phones carry more bacterias than toilet seats.
B & B.
Oh you named it after us?

6.5/10

Bones 11.04

It’s not gonna work, Bones.
Is our work interfering with your social life?
Then what do I do with these?
You really don’t trust me if my background check is going back that far.
Especially since it’s the only thing we can afford.
And where did you attend kindergarten?
What are you into? Gardening?
This was a beautiful cooperative moment, did you feel it?
What the hell is this?
You can never be to thorough
Perhaps I can assist. Assist? That’s a first.
He’s been catfished.
Do you really think my eyes shine?
This is my research. Oh no Bones.

8/10

Downton Abbey 5.02

You tried to have me sacked.
Even my sense of humor.
I suppose he can’t hear us. No he can’t.

9.5/10

Downton Abbey 5.03

I left school at 11. What was I supposed to learn by then?
Nothing vulgar I hope. Nothing of that sort.
Let me drink my brandy in peace.

8.5/10

Downton Abbey 5.05

Nudes colony.
I wouldn’t go that far. Precisely.
I do not quite grast your question.
You forget my wife was one of them. My daughter is one of them.
Did you like Mr Green?
Yes, very much.
We already knew that.
All sorts. What’s going on here?
This house has no secrets.
We’re the future. They’re the past.
I don’t really. But the son’s nice.
I agree with Carlson. Seems very fast to me.
I’m not sure that’s a good enough reason.
I wish men worried about our feelings a quarter as much as we worry about theirs.
I promise you. Nothing bad will ever happen to you.
In my eyes it makes you innocent.
God what a night.
He’ll have you on the operaring table before you can say knife.

8.5/10

American Horror Story 4.01

What an idea. This show is marvellous. I can already say ot will be better than the teenage focused season three. Shouldn’t this show be a little scary? With a killer clown, this season will work. I can’t wait to get background stories of all the characters, especially the supporting ones. The theme music and the collage are my favorite of all the seasons. Can’t wait to get a look into all the remaining characters that we haven’t met yet. Jessica Lange killed David Bowie’s Life on Mars. Downloaded it and cannot stop listening to it.

10/10

American Horror Story 4.02

A curfew? You’re going to ruin my buisness.
He did seem drunk though.
Blood marks.
The clown posing with other clowns.
No better. No worst. Just regular people.
You can’t live on candy and conyack, Dandy.
She reminded me of the pregnant hippo we saw in Safari.
Please tell me this is a rest stop.
I’ll pay you handsomely.
A little tone deaf.
Daytime is for kiddie shows and clowns.
Meatloaf. Meatloaf.
If we’re going to have any fun.
Cause I’m feeling like a criminal.
On what grounds, officer?
She made you feel like shaise.
I thought all I needed was an audience and then it would all come together.
They took Nip.
Nip in the bag.

10/10

American Horror Story 4.03

Elsa really should not have performed on Halloween. Jessica Lange’s cover of Lana Del Rey’s Gods and Monsters is marvellous. Haven’t stopped listening to it. I can even ignore the fact that they, again, didn’t change the lyrics and Jim Morrison is mentioned in the 50s. Remember the pilot and John Lennon in David Bowie’s lyrics?

Coney Island’s a little cold this time of year. How about Florida?
I find clows delightful.
Even after death the demon’s face was smiling.
Can’t wait to go trick or treating and terrorize the neighborhood.
Curfews are for poor people.
Or maybe you’re blinded by a pretty face.
She looked at the paper and she knows what to tell her.
That bitch stole my carreer.
It’s your song, Elsa. It’s the most heartbreaking song I’ve heard.
Esmeralda, you’re hired.
The freaks. They’re everywhere.
I’m sure that’s not the only thing you give away for free.
Nobody cares what happens to a freak.
You look like a nice christian girl. The only proper question is how to display the body.
The clown took him.
Pick up those drum sticks and start banging.
Oh yeah give it to me.

8.5/10

Castle 7.04

Potato chip flavour.
Who kills an ice cream man?
Got it. Easy.
We are all writers.
Somewhere in that pile is a key to find our witness.
Then he changed the channel.
Mr Castle told me to let it go.
Searching through their stuff.
Jerk face over there.
Behind you. Oh what a fall they took.

6/10

Scandal 4.03

You can answer your phone.
We have to talk about the First Lady.
It’s a video of people doing things.
I’m not. A gladiator?
When one of us goes missing, the rest looks for them.

6.5/10

Scandal 4.04

Call Cyrus Bean. To tell him we’ve got the president’s daughter.
I need you to shut down the cell service at this address.
What are we doing? Getting you into college.
I just saw the dirtiest sex tape I’ve ever seen and it stars his teenage daughter.
The only way I could have sex with two guys is if i was raped? How lame are you?
What about what I did to them?
What are you two doing here?
One was blond. Does he have a tattoo.
Olivia! Mellie.
I’ve dealt with drunk Mellie and Smelly Mellie and screw everything Mellie and eat everything that’s not nailed down Mellie.
You’re sitting, eating chips and getting drunk at 11 am. Tony’s voice on 11 am.
Sex tape? She takes after her daddy then, doesn’t she?
Where do you have the tape?
2.5 million dollars.
You’re exploiting them. You’re child pornographers.
And sexist. If you were a boy, they would want to high five. But you’re not, so your knees will have to stay closed.
Who brought Ronan into this? I did.
Ballard gave me the order.

9.5/10

Scandal 4.05

Yes, I would like to report an assault.
Why isn’t she running?
In what context are we normal?
So you get drunk at 8 am in the morning now?
You’ve told me this crazy story a thousand times.
Then why don’t you believe me?
Do you have Jake?
I’m here because of her.
Why isn’t the car parked out front? It’s 2.50.
Can you read? Reading is fundamental.
Quinn figured out and cut the body open.
I told tou the truth and you lied to me.
Next time ypu wanna chat. You’ll find me dancing on his grave.
I was at the Pentagon trying to get a confession out of our son’s killer.
No no. It’s good. It helps.
Jerry’s death was meaningful.
Take your scotch and your chips. Drink. Eat.
Why are we all trying to be Olivia Pope?
Everyone who touches you pays the price.
Did you kill my son?
Mellie took a shower.

10/10

How to Get Away With Murder 1.04

Wes was right.
What the hell’s a shooting star?
This is what pilates can do for you.
I don’t think I can ever see Liza as someone other than Paris Gellar.
I just know everybody hates their boss.
Sara Paxton guest stars.
Liza going all Paris on her.
Did they just here about what he did to his ass? Nothing more awkward than your teacher knowing about your sex life.
He fell out the window.
Holy crap. We make good spies.
Maybe something fell off.
Rebecca, smile. You’re going home.
Tell me what’s on the phone.
The wig.
And the eternal question, What is your penis doing on a dead girl’s phone?

7.5/10

How to get away with murder 1.05

Judge me if you want. Just do it while we’re carying the damn body.
Tou need to show off that’s something to talk to your therapist about.
I still remember that episode of NYPD Blue. Excused.
You’re making a score card?
How about two hairy guys? Enjoy.
Know the blog inside and out for tomorrow. There’s like 800 entries.
Well done.
You’ve got something?
I just like making people feel uncomfortable. Makes me feel better for some reason.
Bitch please.
Mistrial.
Look at the wallpaper.

Nashville 3.04

Jeff is going to sign Maddie and Daphne.
Reputable and discret.
I honestly haven’t heard a single word you said after Hey.
Would you like to go with me while I try on my wedding dress?
I want you to be happy.
Why did Gunnar ask you to stay? Why didn’t you?
You and me are gasoline and maches.
But I love her. But I want her. But I need her. What you need is to move on cause the night is still young.
Because if I won’t who will? Because she’s like my kid.
I’m gonna stay on the line with you.
Deacon Claybourne’s bus left without Deacon Claybourne.
What happened to us? It’s like we spent the whole year taking turns at apologising.
Jeff has signed one woman and she’s a reality tv star and you can ask Layla Grant how that’s going for her.
You don’t wanna be Rayna Jaymes. You wanna be the one and only Sadie Jones.
Scarlett, sing with me.
Not everything is always about you.
I just signed with Rayna Jaymes and Highway 65.
You and me are gasoline and maches.
You’re the one who destroys people.
I need to know if I can sign a couple of kids to the label with just one parent’s consent.

10/10

I told that devil to take you back.

6/10

Bad Judge 1.03

Then I choked him.
Look at him. Overruled.
Could ask sexurity to do it.
It’s called Mockingbird.

6/10

Bad Judge 1.04

What are you doing with the jacket? This doesn’t just happen.
I’m like a chick magnet for 30 something lesbians.
See what I mean. Actually she’s kinda cute.
You know there was this one time in college.
You’ve seen me at McDonald’s when I miss the breakfast cut off. You wanna add a weapon to that mix?
Why is your lock 69 69.
Because it’s hilarious!
I hope you don’t mind I made a sandwich.
What?!

8.5/10

The Good Wife 6.05

Oh, fuck it.

Welcome to ReviewThisFilm

This website started in 2010 as weekly reviews of 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, mostly thanks to bad habits gained by spending many hours a day on Letterboxd.

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

Enjoy!

About the Author

All I do is watch movies, the good, the bad and the ugly. Sometimes I make my own.

Check out my latest film (120K+ views on Youtube):

www.youtube.com/watch?v=WP3Iz23hD7M

I’ve seen over 6000 films and 220 TV shows. I have a degree in Film Production, and wrote my dissertation on Italian neorealism. I mostly gravitate towards social issues films, anything Ken Loach, Krzysztof Kieslowski, Roberto Rossellini, Vittorio De Sica or Jafar Panahi, etc.

I rate films within genre. I watch a lot of films on Mubi, Filmbox Arthouse. My favourite directors are Yasujiro Ozu, Ken Loach, Krzysztof Kieslowski, Zhang Yimou, Roberto Rossellini, Ingmar Bergman, Brian De Palma, Vittorio De Sica and Andrzej Wajda. My favourite actresses have always been Jodie Foster, Sally Field and Julianne Moore. I’m nostalgic and reminisce a lot. I’m at the cinema 10 times a month. And I’m a Polish-British millennial.

I will watch anything:

psychological | arthouse | foreign | independent | drama | horror | lgbt | strong female characters | female centred films | dysfunctional families | sexual assault | troubled childhood | mental health issues

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)
