Billions
Sundays 10:00 PM on ShowtimeBobby Axelrod Quotes
Axe: Tell 'em, Wags.
Wags: Little side pocket we had so the brass could enjoy the spoils of the best ideas.
Axe: Cherry-picking trades for a secret internal fund.
Chuck: That could look very bad. [chuckles] Fraudulent, even.
Axe: In a certain light, maybe.
Axe: You've still got about a hundred million in those accounts, don't you?
Prince: Just about, yeah.
Axe: Well, in Indiana, that's like being a billionaire.
Prince: That's right. Yes, it is. You know what? Maybe I should be thanking all you bastards for giving me a chance to go out and do it all again. Spin it up.
Wags: You don't have to say it. I will be here with you to get this place cranking again. But then...
Axe: What? Miami? With all those other rich fucks? You know, it does have a lot to recommend it. It is the center of it all right now.
You should have told me you were coming so I could've had a strong, fresh-brewed cup of get the fuck out waiting for you.
Wendy: Welcome home, Bobby.
Chuck: Never thought I'd say it, never thought I'd think it, but thank God you're here.
Wags: Ain't that the motherfucking truth.
Axe: Now, let's get to work.
The entire country will think of you as a man who couldn't satisfy his own wife. They won't care about arrangements or you getting yours. They'll just know that she was bivouacking with the mountain man instead of shacking up with you. And you have to know, there is nobody in this country who's gonna vote for President Cuck.
Chuck: Took me some time to realize there was reason enough to help you from the start.
Axe: Old combatants' code...
Chuck: ...that's the other reason. Someday, and that day will definitely come, I will call upon you to repay this debt. And I know you won't come up short.
Axe: Threats? Really? What in my history makes you think I respond well to threats?
Grigor: What in my history makes you think it's merely a threat?
It ain't me, babe. And not because I think you're wrong about Prince or because I don't want to be there for you three who have each overtime earned my serious consideration, respect, even love. Because America, the land of the free, isn't that for me anymore? And I can't see how it ever will be. Because Prince is only on the ascent and I don't engage in wars of attrition anymore. Because Chuck is a free man who never relents, never stops, and I remain the one that got away.
Axe: Well, you know, geopolitics is fluid. Early in the conflict, Ukraine wanted Javelin anti-tanks, other things. Western governments weren't able to get them there first.
Wendy: You?
Axe: Structured the deal. Took care of the financing. Arranged a friend -- a guy you would not expect -- to find and deliver the actual arms. Bought me a great deal of goodwill all across the continent, EU and here.
