No Bones, no SVU, what a sad week.

Greys 10.07

As I rewatched the episode I realized it was actually good. Meredith is now just another character, when I really do not want to get to know the new ones.

Arizona slept with Lea.
Damn she didn’t invite her.
She had lasic surgery.
None of them do and I don’t need to spend a day in the or.
it’s a holiday for children you know.
A zombie?
Zombie bit Lea.
Where did you cone from?
The x rays are backwards.
I know that happy halloween.
Candy for dinner, nice.
Zombies aren’t real.
Maggots.
Luckily someone invented a bus pass.
Come on grey, you won’t makr her take a bus, there’s a shop, just across the street, she can walk.
Head mirrors.
Ben you are a doctor, have you ever worn one?
We’re gonna have to take you down to the or to get the parasites out of the wound.
Doctor Brooks. Heather Brooks. Yes she is she’s always here.
Another one down.
You’re from Scotland Kevin, what the hell are you talking about.
Grey got her an sleep patch.
You’ll be here the whole time Meredith?
The whole time.
Everyone gets a trophy for just being on the team.
And tell her she’s beautiful.
Maybe she’s a ghost.
She walk on the lady.
You only get ten of them.
You got me quarantined.
You are not under quarantine.
Isn’t that like 100 times scarier than some zombie apocalypse.
Right now it’s not the time to be easy peasy.
Doctor Brooks died three months ago.
Are you as good as she was?
No, but I will be.
You’re really gonna tell me that’s the wrong answer?
You’re so easy.
Dude I’m waiting for my boyfriend.
Tequilla.
Get in before the trick or treaters think that I’m home.

10/10

Revenge 3.05

This show is doing so great, but please more Victoria, less the french girl, we sent Ashley away to get a french version of Ashley?

8/10

Castle 6.06

Alexis is starting to get on my nerves, but not as much as people who don’t understand that it’s normal for a 19 year old to live with her boyfriend. But seriously, we found some couch and chairs on the street? With my ocd I’d be scared I’d catch something.

8.5/10

American Horror Story 3.04

So what happened to Queenie? I hope they get over this Frankenstein storyline and please less chanting and fighting with the bad witches and more killing.

5/10

The Carrie Diaries 2.02

The show is so good with Samantha, but please no more Sebastian crap.

Shes walking naked.
You’re right, Carrie, there’s some great stuff in here, phone sex operators wanted, work from home, 6.99 a minute?!
Carrie no the spanker!
Has someone been a bad boy?
Party lines still exist?
She’s not some chick, she’s a new friend.
Good thing I planned it so far in advance.
What did you call me?
No I didnt mean sayvit again.
Jane Fonda.
That’s right there you go.
I’m a phone sex operator.
People open up to me, it must be likr talking to a nun.
Religion can be very hot.
And a few other things.
I most certainly will not.
I can get you tickets.
No problem bambi, just a simple phone call.
Toilet paper, we’re out, maybe you could get some?
Sure thing.
Tangled in a phone.
You’re Carrie Bradshaw, you do not take any crap from any man.
How are you so brave?
Donna took sone guys hat.
Lets fo this kindergarten style.
You are all ruining my fantasy of being your sexy nurse.
Carrie shut the hell up with the food talk.
I’m gonna kill you, right after I…
You’re a girls girl, thats why I like uou.
So we’re still friends?
Honey, of course, we have to stay friends, we wear the same size underwear.
I don’t even wanna know how you know that.
You better not be leaving with any of my underwear.
You broke me. You broke my heart and I hate you because I still love you and I hate myself even more for it. You happy?
Can I tell you the gruesome details later? I’m still a little fragile.

I am giving up Scandal. I am really mad, because us little people cannot do shit like that. I hate shows I cannot relate to. I should have not started it, I was mad about Shonda taking time to write it, and leaving Private Practice for death. Lately she is doing the same exact thing to Greys and I cannot see it go, because of some show, I only started watching because  I was bored. Since I only relate to the killing parts, I am saying goodbye to Scandal. I have not yet picked up any new shows this fall, even Masters of Sex, which I found very good.I have never felt more relieved to give up a show. Scandal, I am not watching you again.

Greys 10.06

Did I say last episode was bad, this one was much worse. The weakest episode of the series, without a doubt. How bad your imagination and creativity must be if you base an episode around a mug? I am mad at Shonda for focusing on Scandal and giving up Private Practice and now Greys.

4/10 – what the hell Shonda?

SVU 15.06

Highly disapointed this week.

Bones 9.06

My babies got married! I’ve waited 8yrs for this. Couldn’t stop crying. So many beautiful memories. Can I go back to all those early mornings? I’ll be reminiscing for the rest of the week and rewatching the wedding. I remember the rush this show used to gave me, miss those times. What a spectacular episode.

‘Look, hey, do you remember the last time that we were here? Standing right around this spot, it was right in the beginning before we really knew each other. I was trying to get away from you because you were irritating me and you chased me down and you caught up to to me. I said to you, ‘Listen, I just have to get all my ducks in a row,’ and then you said to me, ‘I can be a duck!’ We have been chasing each other for a long time. We’ve been chasing each other through wars and serial killers and ghosts and snakes. Chasing you has been the smartest thing I’ve ever done in my life and being chased by you has been my greatest joy. But now, we don’t have to chase each other because we caught each other.’

‘When Hodgins and I were buried alive, we each wrote a message to someone we loved in case our bodies were ever found. Hodgins wrote to Angela and I wrote to you. ‘Dear Agent Booth, you are a confusing man. You are irrational and impulsive, superstitious and exasperating. You believe in ghosts and angels, and maybe even Santa Claus and because of you I’ve started to see the universe differently. How is it possible that simply looking into your fine face gives me such joy? Why does it make me so happy that every time I try to sneak a peek at you, you’re already looking at me. Like you it makes no sense, and like you, it feels right. If I ever get out of here, I will find a time and place to tell you that you make my life messy and confusing and unfocused and irrational and wonderful. This is that time, this is that place.’

‘You ready, Booth?’ ‘I’ve been ready for years.’

‘What you and Temperance have, it’s the reason we draw breath.’

‘We’ve waited long enough.’ ‘We have.’

The show is doing so fine.

‘While I adore performance art, why don’t you just get on with it.’

The Carrie Diaries 2.01

The stain of defeat is a mafe little easier by a great place to live, a great summer job, an awesome new look and a whole new attitude.
Its Saturday.
Than why did you wake me.
Who’s miller?
I don’t have time for regrets, only fun.
And impersonating her mother.
That purse is a part of who I am.
What are you looking at? You never seen anyone sweaty before?
Is the cake okay?
No I didn’t realize there are 20 murders a week in Manhattan. That’s good to know.
Drug diller can’t reach if the line is busy. Tea would be lovely thank you.
You promised no whining.
Hello officers.
Say nothing.
Everyone is just been laughing about you.
There’s no money for me to go to college. If I wanna go, I have to pay for it myself.
I just feel so lost. Everyone hates me.
If I don’t go to college, I’m stuck here.
We all lose things. Stuff comes and goes, who cares.
Yeah that is stupid.
If you ever need anything, you know where I live.
Can I stay here for a couple of days.

Probably the most tenuous season of the series. I know, I spit on the season in January, bacause it was just too weak, but the final episodes slightly amended for all the not worth remembering cases of the first 9 or so episodes, but I have watched the season two times, and I still vaguely remember only four or five cases, but it recompenses in good humour.

This is going to be a lot of episodes. Since it’s Easter and the uni library is closed, I have pretty much nothing to do, and I have already planned the next three days, or actually 10 days, this post is on the list. I do not have any films left to watch, I do in fact, but this can wait three months. As for today, I decided to take a little break, and listen to the lecture in the evening. I ended up watching the pilot of Greys for the 40th time probably and the rewatching 7.09 episode where everyone is drunk and Meredith and Alex are the last ones standing. But I’ll cut to the case.

Grey’s Anatomy 9.17

Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital. I love that we’re done with d Mercy West part in d name, and I am really happy but I will miss Seattle Grace.

‘Welcome to my funeral.’

‘No one asked you to sue the hospital into bankruptcy.’ ‘For the plane crash that killed Lexie?’

9/10

Grey’s Anatomy 9.18

That Arizona/Callie scene was all I’ve been waiting for. Jessica was spectacular. Exactly how I would write it. Best scene since ‘I like the girl who has the sandwiches’. Just kiddin’ they had many amazing scenes. So damn perfect. ‘No, Callie, don’t.’ Oh the pain, perfection.

8/10

Grey’s Anatomy 9.19

Noooo, Mer, no you don’t need to know that!

9/10

SVU  14.16

‘Women and girls look up to you, if you stand up and say ‘no more’ (…) We know that when men do this once, they do it again, the bottom line here is that you are not safe.’

‘Open hand, closed hand, can you see the difference or? There’s a three second rule on chocking? It was too quick for you to help her out? Just watch her get beat?’

‘Anyone who says that, you should block them immediately, cause what he did to you is despicable.’

‘So what do we do now?’ ‘We wait.’ ‘For what?’ ‘The inevitable.’

7/10

SVU 14.17

Everyone goes undercover. Does every cop have to be dirty, or suspected of being dirty? Why does Liv go out with Brian (who even knew that was his name? Sounds weird, right?) after he slept with prostitutes and I really did not want to have an image of Liv going down on him in my head, damn you, SVU.

5/10

SVU 14.18

I have no idea why we no longer have child victims, when these cases are most disturbing and simply the best. Anyway that was fine, very SVU, good. I was waiting for Liv to tell the girl or the jury she’s the product of rape.

‘Do you remember when you asked me about my father and I told you that it was a long story? It’s not that long.’

7.5/10

Bones 8.18

I have no idea what happened to good old Bones, and when did it go wrong. Why none of the cases are rememberable.

7/10

Bones 8.19

7/10

Bones 8.20

Nobody wants to see Caroline flirt with some guy. We love Caroline, but, no. Bones being all am I not a nice, likeable person, hilarious. Again, I do not remember the case.

8/10

Castle 5.17

Wes Craven! Why the hell did he say ‘all Nightmares’, he created the Nightmares, directed and produced two and written three, didn’t want to do more. Wes Craven does not sleep at 3.12, he has just woken up. 3 am is the devil’s hour.

‘Friendly competition my ass.’

10/10

Castle 5.18

I don’t know if I’m happy to see this version of Ryan, or if something really doesn’t work here. The scene when he was calling their names, beautiful.

8/10

Shameless 3.07

‘Bullshit. 30 Days? Frank hasn’t been sober for 30 minutes.’ ‘Mind your own business. Just give me the chip. Just let me borrow it.’

‘Only requirement for membership is d desire to stop drinking.’ ‘Exactly.If I’m tempted by d bottle,I can look to d chip for encouragement.’

”For the better? You’re all dying a slow, miserable death, thanks to this cult of self-improvement. Drop off the kids, 9 to 5 PTA, AA…You call that a life? This ain’t North Korea. Alcohol is a gift.’

‘Alcohol is a cruel mistress.’

‘Carrie Bradshaw, a lawyer? You have no idea who ur daughter is or what she wants. Just because they aren’t your dreams for her, doesn’t mean they aren’t real and unattainable. Your job is to let her become d person that she wants to be. It’s a matter of who and what she she wants to be. She’s a hell of a writer. Did you know that? She writes about the world in a very special way, like she’s seeing it n learning from it.She’s got a voice. Let her use it. What if writing is her calling? If you don’t let Carrie explore the world n figure out what she wants to be, she’ll never become the person she’s supposed to be…Someone who’s happy and loves who she is.’

Grey’s Anatomy 9.15

Let’s all quit our jobs.

7/10

Grey’s Anatomy 9.16

Who did not see that one coming? Why else would she ask Jackson to come to the meeting?

‘A solid capital investor w/a team of surgeon consultants led by Richard Webber, Derek Shepherd, Dr. Torres, Robbins, Grey, Yang, n myself.’

‘You lose a patient because you forget to check their airway, you don’t make that mistake again. You fail your boards cause you’re too busy sleeping with your best friend, maybe you stop doing that. The hospital you call home shuts down just when you’re finally starting to feel like you’ve got your life together.’

Bones 8.15

Bones gets shot.

7/10

Bones 8.16

Bones is acting like nothing happened, but Bones caring about that raped girl, yes.

Sucker.
Stupid.

9/10

Bones 8.17

Time travel. Terrible.

4/10

SVU 14.14

‘I’m sorry, Olivia, I’m sorry.’ But why? Olivia n Dana were like sisters. ‘You know me, I get over things, I’ve been raped, I’ve been shot.’

10/10

SVU 14.15

Amanda’s episode was spectacular. I love how they dug up her gambling addiction, though 20 thousand is not that bad.

10/10

Castle 5.14

Stana throwing tables. All you need.

6.5/10

Castle 5.15

Finally something bad happened to Alexis, but of course shei’s the face of uni flyers. Loved that rooftop shot. I must have said ‘what the hell is this,SVU?’ at least 4times. Her speech though, was all I feel right now, but this time I won’t get jaded.

‘You remember the girl with the red hair? I’m her father.’

‘I had this…I guess it was another freshman moment. I’m sure eventually I’ll become jaded and cynical, but not today. Today I look and I see beautiful buildings, I see students who are just like me and nothing like me, and I feel overwhelmed with all the possibilities, with how lucky I am to be a part of this and…how there’s nowhere on earth I’d rather be right now.’

10/10

Castle 5.16

‘So he’s Liam Neeson now?’ Hunt was overrated, but here’s to hoping Alexis won’t stop posting on her blog, her vlogs are the only good thing on the show right now. Also, Stana kicking that girl’s chair.

5/10

Revenge 2.13

The wedding, I was disappointed that Emily let this happen, then the nezt episode happened.

‘Is that what you think? That I don’t feel? That I don’t mourn the life that I could’ve had? That’s why people like you and me fight. Because it gives us something to live for when everything else has been taken away.’

7/10

Revenge 2.14

Amanda was in the way sometimes, but Emily could always count on her. ‘What about Amanda Clarke?’ ‘Poor girl, she chose the wrong enemy.’

10/10

Shameless 3.04

The girl and her girl penis.

5/10

Shameless 3.05

Best part, The sins of my Caretaker, Joan’s acting is spectacular. Deb almost drowned some bitch at the pool and we’re literally digging up a body and Jimmy’s all ‘but my father’s gay’.

10/10

Shameless 3.06

That was the most shameless episode of Shameless ever. Mickey’s father making Ian watch, amazing. V making Kev screw her mother, insane. Karl asking gays that very inappropriate question.

Private Practice 6.12

A beautiful episode. Georgia, Caroline and Rachel! And Addie got Henry and Jake! And Violet is gonna write another book and I won’t survive next episode.

10/10

Grey’s Anatomy 9.11

Nooo! What do you mean Seattle Grace goes bankrupt?! Of course the insurance company wouldn’t pay. Nicely played, Shonda.

‘They say ignorance is bliss because once you know, you can’t go back. Will you be strong or will you fall apart? It’s hard to predict, so don’t worry about it. Enjoy the time you have before the news comes. Yep, ignorance is bliss.’

9/10

SVU 14.10

Let it go, Amanda, come on, let’s go.
Liv calls Amanda Georgia Peach.
He said he was gonna make her do it, until she didn’t want it again, to exorcise the demon of sex in her.I’m a dead girl walking, but he could still have a life.
He got the wrong priest, you should let him go.
That’s not the way it works.

10/10

SVU 14.11

A good SVU storyline.

It’s my fault he did, I shouldn’t have told him to stop.
You can say no any time.

8/10

Revenge 2.10

If only we did not have this Jack/the bar storyline and Nolan’s love life we do not care about the show would be perfect. What it needs is more Victoria, more Victoria interacting with Emily and with Conrad. The episode itself was definitely worth watching, the revealing abuse scene was to congratulate. But like I said, Jack and Nolan storylines, that’s a no. Other than that no good quotes, which is just disappointing.

6/10

Go on 1.11

I loved the episodes, many amazing quotes, and Hey Ryan remix killed me. And the intro coming right after this scene was an amazing choice!

If it succeeds, my life has been worth living. If it fails, I’ll be like Yolanda.

Let’s hear it for Mr. K! But not too loud, as we know it sexualized him in the past.

I have nothing. My life has no purpose. I’m just waiting to die. Like Yolanda.

Nothing’s worth it anymore. My life is devoid of meaning or purpose or hope.
What brave emotional honesty. Let’s discuss that further.
No, Ryan has his thing. My despair can wait.

Fausta, honey, there’s been some kind of mistake. You forgot to send me an invitation to the quinceanera.
I didn’t forget. You are not invited.
Wait a minute. Not that I care… I mean, I clearly have way better things to do…Why not?
Because you are… how you say… You are sour, you are difficult. Momento. Sonia wrote a few down for me. You are wet blanket, bummer, buzz kill, bit-cah? How you read?
Bitch.
Yes. That’s good. Bitch.

Well, what happens on the radio is between you and Dan from Burbank. Listen, is there anything I can get you? Coffee, medication, anything to help you avoid another epic meltdown like the last time you were on TV?

Do you experience me as a wet blanket? A bummer?
Anne, you’re kind of catching me off guard here, but yeah.
Fausta didn’t invite me to her niece’s thing. I mean, yes, okay, I’m not all sunshine and rainbows, but my life is hell. I’m basically drowning in a sea of sorrow.
Hard to imagine why she wouldn’t want that at a 15-year-old’s party.
I can be as difficult as I want. My stuff is bigger than hers.
I don’t think she sees it that way.
Why are you defending her? Why aren’t you mad?
Well, I was invited.
What? It never even occurred to me that she would invite you. That’s it. She’s not getting away with this.

Honey, is she bothering you?
What the fuck is this? I don’t want to know.

Anne, what are you doing here?
Shut it, Aladdin. Fausta does not get to exclude me from this. Look there. A completely empty table. All right, out of the way, girls. Widow coming through. Yeah, that’s right. Life ain’t all Justin Bieber and second base.

Now I have to be brave enough to ask, “what’s next?”

911, that’s a sequence of numbers that you should call. The fashion police to talk about that firbucci’s hat there.

Look at her having so much fun with her family and her friends while I sit at the table with my partner, loneliness.

Banana shoes, come. Translate for me. I want to hear what she says about me.
No, don’t sit at the table. It lessens my isolation.

She’s glad that we made it. She loves her niece.
Wow, what an orator. Move over, Abe Lincoln.

Fausta, I’m sorry that you miss your family. I’m sorry I sat at your table. I, uh, I am a bit-cah.
No. It’s okay. You and these people, you help fill my empty table.
How do you do it? How do you smile with so much pain?
You can smile or you can cry. And I choose to smile. You people help.
Come on. Let’s get you fun clothes.
What?
No more sad man suit.
This is a good suit.

Oh, God, look at him.
Are those tears in his beard?
Yeah.
Becoming a better person is such a drag.

Oh, honey, you’re on TV.

I hate the Jimmy’s storyline.

7/10

Bones 8.10

Okay I have missed Wanda and Buck like crazy!
Sayonara, I don’t even like feet and definitely not when they’re coming off.
Who wants a real life when you can dance.
I love going undercover Because it’s fun and exciting.
I have a lot of stories like that, I’m Wanda.
Booth and I intend to win the rumba competition.
And solve the murder.
Of course that’s the main objective.
I understand Angela and I feels so bad for her.

5/10

Bones 8.11

Bones competing with Clark, yes, but the murder no.

5/10

Carrie Diaries 1.01

Sweet and awesome. I swore not to start another teen show, but the teenage version of me was obsessed with Sex and the City.

8/10

Castle 5.11

I have just realized that epiosdes with Alezis are betterm but enough with the boyfriend storyline. Anyone else wants to see her in trouble?

Major hottie is what you are.
Okay, now that we’ve got that cleared up.
During that investigation Stana loked like from season 2! Other than that, just another case.

4/10

Go On 1.12

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)
