What happened to you? Life.
Seeing Rachel on my screen all summer has been amazing.

Camp 1.10

For a finale it was a weak episode, but please let there be a season two. Mack and Cole won’t get their happy ending?

I am so ready for the fall season to start. I hope I will be able to mourn Dexter but still get excited about other shows. I have made my peace with The Big C ending and Cathy dying. I still haven’t seen the finale of Private Practice, I’m still too fragile to say goodbye. I am waiting for some special occasion, but yesterday was my 20th birthday and the finale was right there on my dvr and I chose to watch earlier episodes of the season instead. I’m starting to think I’ll never be ready. I just think It needs to be a special day, and I simply haven’t had one since January. I miss Addie and Violet and seeing Kate and Amy on my screen. I hate that so many of my shows are ending, like I haven’t had enough changes. I have said goodbye to The Big C, I still haven’t recovered from The Killing cancelletion. I truly don’t feel like starting a new show. There are too many changes and disappointments in my life right now. Private Practice, The Big C ended. Dexter ends in 2 days. Go On, not the best, but my favorite new show of the fall 2012 got cancelled. The Killing, a great show that I have started watching less than 2 months ago got cancelled. Camp, a cute and fun summer show won’t probably make it and a half of the shows I watch don’t come back till January. I was desperate to find a new show to fill this empty space and started watching shows I promised I never would and there are only two shows still on air that I love unconditionally and never fail to surprise me. And I hate that. I hate changes, feeling like I’ve failed at life and have no purpose and most of all, I hate being an adult.

What a great show, hoping for the second season. A great companion for summer 2013. It was a sweet show and seeing Rachel Griffiths back on my screen every week of the summer was amazing and if there won’t be a season two, and summer ahead will always feel like it is missing something.

You made a mistake. But this isn’t who you are, don’t let it be.
Is it better to regret the things you did or the things you didn’t?

Dexter 8.09

Serial killer’s convention.
Her son?
It would’ve been easier if they started in October.

9/10

Camp 1.08

The offer still stands.

5/10

Pretty Little Liars 4.12

The one guy nobody’s ever suspected is A, and I assumed this show could never blow my mind. Wow, I am shocked, it finally makes sense.
Plus Ali’s alive.
But why the hell didn’t she warn Aria about Ezra?
Why didn’t they check Ali’s DNA?
I hate how every half of the season, I’m not caring about the storyline, watching the show while preparing for classes or painting or checking twitter or tumblr on my phone, but the finale shocks me a bit, and I realize I’m left with this hole for the next four months, and that’s why I never quit the show, no matter how bad it gets.

7/10

I may not post next week’s episodes, as It’s just gonna be Dexter and Camp, I’m gonna put all the episodes that’ll air till the 13th of Sept in one post, and upload it some time around that day.

Dexter 8.08

I am glad the kid is gone.

10/10

Camp 1.07

Worst episode of Camp yet and there is no chance for the only relationship that looked interesting.

3/10

1.08

Switched at Birth 2.21

If anyone objects…
She’s not comitting a felony or geting married. Right now, for us, that’s a win.
On a plus side Toby doesn’t have chlamydia.

7/10

Pretty Little Liars 4.11

They really should have gone with the twin story, who starts a revenge because of getting out of college? There are so many other things you can do with your life. And who decides this would be a good storyline? The idea of Mona being A was more intriguing. Cece (I am assuming and hoping she’s not the main A shouldn’t even be on the A team, she has no business in Rosewood anymore she is much older than the girls should cope with her own mistakes with some maturity.

Dexter 8.07

Dexter needs to kill this kid, before he turns him in.

10/10

Camp 1.07

Let’s hope were speared that surprise.
Somebody’s mom is a train wreck.
Thats my mom.
She is so pretty.
He threw us out like trash. Trash.

Yourebkind of my hero today.
That’s Dave Coleman he’s amazing. I mean the kids love him.
Jumping off that rock.
It grows back you dummy. And who orders
I love dark Mac.
Someone had the nerve to ask how much Grace cost.
Florida.
Pleasebtell me there’s gluten free bread somewhere in this kitchen.
Mac, I cheated on Robbie.
Is it over with the writer? It is the writer right?
You bought me mascara when I was eight yrs old. You let me drink wine when I was eleven. I lost my virginity when I was 13. Its not that surprising. I have a slut for a mom.
Big night, banging someone elses girlfriend.
He vomited blood.
That this is a sex camp?
Everyone has gathered around the fiereplace.
Whats going on?
Kip colappsed in town. Apparently hes in remission for cancer and it may have come back.
Is the sick boy your friend?

Youre respinsible for him. Just like im responsible for him. The fact that I have to explain this to you should make both of us think.
I think we pick the people that we think we deserve. You deserve someone really great.
Can we see him?
Yes go.
That was awesome.

10/10

Switched at Birth 2.20

Welcome home.
Come on she’s seventeen what do you think they’re doing just holding hands?
Thats why they have these cute pjs with the feet attached.
We need to have a girls night out.
We don’t have to have a penis peniata but we can still have some fun.
Her mother is terrible.
You can go all out if you pay for it.
Girl knows how to have fun.
Of course Simone gave them chlemidia.
Her dad was murdered for buying drugs?
Selling actually.
I get it our son is marrying into a drug cartel.
Could she please spin out on somebody elses budget?
When You’re looking for the answer to a problem its usually the most obvious one. Seems pretty obvious to me that what he wants is a laungere model like all guys.
Why would you do that? Why would you screw me over like that?
What do you think your doing? Arebyou listening to me?
Wait oh my gosh shes shes death.
She’s a stripper.
Not helping.
I dont tjink the fact that shes a size zero helped.
Seriously Who cares?
She thinks thats why uou haven’t kissed her yet.
We were total zombies.
Of course he saw the tape.

7/10

Pretty Little Liars 4.10

Sure sleep in dead’s girl bed.
Yes go tell them A is back.
Are you kidding me Warren’s working with A?
I knew he was not his father.
This enemy is everywhere and nowhere ag the same time.
I’m with a girl. I realized that’s who i want to be with and that’s who I am.
I m very proud of you Emily.
Of course you have. You loved her just as much as I did. I wish she could have return those feelings. I could have asked for a better person to love her than you.
Wow Cece is A because she got kicked out of college? Seems like too much work. Shes been doing it for 2 yrs. It seems awfully long for a revenge.
Pick up that phone.
They wore each other personalities.
Of course she had to recuse herself.
Why would Cece even be friends her. She was like 13.
I really dont think either cece or alison would live without a shower.

Dexter 8.03

Harrison ate all the popsicles and it looked like a crime scene. Late night eating, we’ve all been there.
Deb keeps getting wasted.
Exactly what my reaction would be if I hit that pole.
It’s just so unusual.
Are we done I need a fucking nap.
How do you know I’m hangover?
Awesome, fucking awesome.
Fuck Dexter I don’t have time for this, you know? I have to find out if some rich asshole is banging some chick which he probably is so that I can tell her and she can get a killer divorce settlement and they can move on with their stupid fucking boring lives. And I can move on with mine. Cause this is my life now.
He could be hunting me right now or he could be selling fitness equipment at the mall.
Yeah its really fucking classy.
When your sister found out who you were and what you were doing why didn’t you kill her?
I would never kill Debra, she’s my sister, I love her.
Selfless love is hard enough for typical people and for psychopaths it’s impossible.
I want you to revel in what you are. I told you you’re perfect.
You’re perfect as a psychopath, all this talk about helping Debra and loving her is like you’re Michaelangelo trying to play banjo.
What the fuck are we doing in this hell hole?
I’ll take a bourbon neat.
You’re a good person. You brought a lot of good to the world.
Have a nice day at the mall.
She just didn’t wanna see it. People get used to living in denial. Its just easier you know.
That’s why the kitchen is so clean, it’s a kill room.
Wasn’t checking my body fat for my own fitness, he was checking to see if I was fit to have as a main course.
Fuck Deb confessed to killing La Guerta.
When Debra killed LaGuerta it was real selfless love. She sacrificed everything she believed in for you.  Can you see that?
That was interesting.
Hold this.
I am perfect, but only at one thing.
You’re disgusting, cannibal consumer of human flash.  There was a time when I couldn’t imagine anyone being what you are, doing what you do, but now I realise I’m just like you, I consume everyone I love.

10/10

Dexter 8.04

Dexter’s need to kill was born in a container much like this one. And he’s been trapped inside its walls ever since. As a psychopath he will never be able to break free, but you can by reliving the events of that night over and over again.
There are countless ways to inflict physical trauma on a human body and sometimes the deadliest wounds are the ones we barely see they run deep like the ones I inflicted on Deb.
Dexter is fucking Dexter.
That night in the container Dexter was exactly who he was meant to be and so were you the loving sister.
Now that mirror is cracked an the only reflection you see is one of darkness.
You are no monster, you never have been.
Anyone on my table would disagree.
Dexter. Monster by definition is outside of nature but you’re a part of natural order of things.
I’ll still want her in my life.
Want her but not need.
Dexter can’t help who he is. He has no conscience Unlike you. You knew the moment you pointed at gun on La Guerta it was wrong and still you pulled a trigger. You shot a woman in cold blood you let her bleed out and did nothing. You shot an innocent woman for simply doing her job.
Because of Dexter.
And that’s what terrifies you the most. You so desperately want to believe that if you had just shot dexter then you wouldn’t have to face the hard truth. That if you had to do it again you’d still choose him, because in your heart you know you’d always choose Dexter.
How do I make it right?
By finally accepting that you are a good person who was forced to do a terrible thing. And that you made the best of an impossible situation. You can walk out that door, you can move forward, the choice is yours it always has been.
Masuka has a daughter!
Somehow he’s deluded himself into thinking his feelings for his sister are genuine unaware there are no real emotions behind them.
Do you understand or do you need to write it down?
I don’t think I can live with this.
Fuck and i’m supposed to?
Vogel believes I’m just like all her other experiments, psychopath who can’t form real connections but she’s wrong, Deb isn’t a prop like Yates’s father was to his son. She’s more than a mirror. She’s family. if I have a purpose, and value and a right to exist, so do my feelings for Deb.
The body forms scar tissue to close a wound. Has my sister began to do the same? Eventually scars fade. Who knows, with enough time you may not even remember how you got them.
Did dad killed himself?
Yeah. He od’d on his heart medication. Thought he created a monster.
I think I know how he felt why he killed himself. But he only got it half right.
Nothing says family like shit.

10/10

Dexter 8.05

So I’m not perfect.
You are not even listening to me. You don’t understand I’ve been trapped in a fucking fog.
I’m stupid that way I’m limited.
I don’t hate you.
Why did you save me, why didn’t you let me drown?
I saw the car go into the water I knew you were gonna die I couldn’t imagine my life without you in it.
I was expecting that.
Yeah we’ll get him. Dexter will.
Serial killer bested by 100 pound nanny.
That’s why he’s taking the shoes.
Which little piggie won’t be making it to market?
She slapped him around like his mother used to.
It’s a search for the same connection.
Poor boy.
Fuck you, Dexter.
Debra, are you okay?
I’m good really I’m good.
We’re the family that kills together.
You’re doing well Debra you’re very resilient.
You never gave up on her. I’m impressed I know Harry would be too. He was always concerned that as you grow older you may drift apart.
We never really had a choice. If anyone ever really knew us they’d run screaming.
A few days ago everything seemed hopeless between me deb a d me but through Dr Vogel and Yates I’ve got my sister back. Not like things were before. Its something different, but for now its enough.
Its beautiful out here Dexter.
I like it. It’s peaceful, alone on the water.
Tonight you brought us.
Yes. Why?
I wanted to be with family.

10/10

Dexter 8.06

He’s drawn to blood like me.
I remember that feeling ‘oh’, wonder, it only fed the urge.
What do you like to do for fun?
You know normal stuff.
That’s it?
That’s all I can tell you.
Dating is harder than I remember.
Families fuck you up that’s just the way it is.
He treats the blood like a swim suit model.
Wow very colourful.
Forgot it’s a crime scene. Keep thinking that dead chick spilled all that blood just for me.
He’s streets smart.
Just like old times, huh?
It was worth living for.
He’s 4, duffus.
Jesus Christ how many pictures of fucking women in tights does this pervert need?
Someone’s shitting is somebody’s cheerios.
How weird was that she confessed to killing La Guerta?
I should have stayed in my office.
You look incredible.
Don’t look so fucking surprised.
I just don’t wanna touch anything i’m not supposed to.
He deserves nothing but my table.
To take a living person and make them dead, imagining that you can actually hear the moment when their heart stops beating, smell the blood as it pulls across the floor.
I can’t help it, it just builds up inside me all these years.
How was it once you killed her.
It felt like this huge weight was lifted off my chest. This release of something horrible inside me.
Like you’re finally in control.
Yes just go ahead and kill me
Why?
Because if you don’t, I know I’ll do it again. I don’t want to be like this but I can’t help it. I just am some kind of freak.
Monster.
Yes.
You never had a harry. Someone to talk to. Someone to teach you.
Some things happen to us by accident others are choices. There are parts of me that I can never share with my own son, but with Zack, could I teach him? Am I ready for this? To be a spiritual father?
He likes me cause he doesn’t know a fucking thing about me. Yeah I killed two people and tried to kill myself and my brother i’m sorry what kind of wine would you like to order. I mean what the fuck.
but Hey life is good i’m feeling optimistic for a while i’m even thinking about taking on a kinda intern.

10/10

Camp 1.05

Sorry, grown up stuff.
Hey mom look what dad got me for my birthday he must love me so much.
At least my other parent cares.
What can I do? Get a little jerk a better present.
Shopping I love shopping.
No you don’t.
The way he grabbed her.
Yeah we all remember valentine’s day.
I’m asian adopted and my parents are gay how do you like that kind of pressure?
Who looks great? My dads do.
Also grace honey you should probably go through vocabulary again when you get a moment.
What about an electric guitar?
Are you ready to listen to smells like teen spirit at a 1000 dwxiblws?
Have you eaten today?
No why? Cause You’re getting a little irritable.
A pop singer. Super bubbly. Hopeless romantic. Rights songs about her breakups.
Katy perry. Kelly Clarkson. That awful girl that broke Justin Bieber’s heart.
No she’s dated literally every guy under 30 in America. She wears sparkles and too much red lipstick. Kanye west stole the microphone from her.
Britney.
What kind od a gay are you? Taylor Swift. Pick up a people magazine why don’t you. Taylor swift. It’s Taylor Swift you idiots.

You’re right food does help especially this crap. Which is awesome. Double cheese I dont eat like this anymore.
Every day I like to have 3 awesome things to happen.
why life is hard. It just gets harder and harder.
Life is awesome Mac. Focus, 16, what you were doing when you were 16?
Me? Getting high, roaming around the mall looking for posters trying on clothes. Go to the arcade. God it was so fun.
Of course we’re playing truth and dare.
I think its my second awesome thing.
The fact that its your second awesome thing make s it my second awesome thing.
Sure you can afford this. You’re not using your food money or anything.
What are you my mom? No im not using my food money.
I was born cool.
And you’re stoned. You guys got stoned together.nice thats fun isnt it getting high at work?
Follow me stoners.
This leather is so soft which is a total deal breaker I don’t know why so many animals need to be killed to make car seats.
Parenting advice from a childless man.
The white gay dude got stung by a bee.
Okay I ship them.
And them too.
Clearly that had to happen.
Would have been criminal if it didn’t.
You really made lemonade out of that leukemia.
You made my crappy day awesome.
Oh oh what’s happening.
Can You hear that? I don’t like it.
Happy sweet sixteen man were gonna die!
One time I list him at the mall.
When?
It doesn’t matter.
Yesterday was still fyn though. I like three awesome things every day.
Why not?
All kinds of reasons.
Let me know when you think of a good one.

I haven’t have so much fun all summer or even a year.

10/10

Switched at Birth 2.19

Ask the right parent.
John and Regina.
Remind me to thank him.
You should go with your stomach next time.
Sure I’m good down here.
I don’t have the Kennish gene for atlethics, okay? I don’t.
Can you ask Daphne?
There is a special place in hell for boyfriends like you.
Because of what happened with Chef Jeff.
Melody and that doctor.
We’re very 2013.
You jump.
Bay almost shat herself.
Not surprised she got pissed.
Shit, it didn’t work.
This is sound, Darling.
Emmett’s father is my favorite character together with Melody.
‘Hello’, I can hear that.
I’m the wizz with the copy machine.
I don’t know who I’m more scared of you or him.
Bay mentioning the helicopter that went down.
She’s broke her ankle.
Emmett’s dad listens to him play drums.

7/10

This was simply the best episode of the second half of the season. It is probably worse because it’s not based around school or Bay’s art anymore and girls don’t live together and Angelo’s child storyline is not very solid.

Pretty Little Liars 4.09

Ezra’s watching Aria and his girlfriend’s going to Washington.
A bail of 1mln dollars.
I was wondering where did the preacher go.
Preacher posted the bail!
Take Malcolm and get back with Aria.
What if he takes the paternity test and it turns out he’s not his father.
He was a corrupted cop, Ashley.
Everyone has their limits.
Jenna got thrown into the pond.
It was Ted.
Maybe you could let someone navigate for a while.
I knew it was Cece.
Mona’s back where she feels most comfortable.
And we know Jenna is not A for sure. Shonna isn’t probably either.

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!

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)
