Quotes
Donna: Do you know how hard it is for me to say no to you?
Harvey: Then don't.
My dad was a petty thief. Never could hold down a job. So, he just robbed, convenience stores, shops, small-time stuff. One time, he sat me down, he told me something I never forgot. He said, "Everyone steals. That's how it works. You think people out there are getting exactly what they deserve? No. They're getting paid over or under, but someone in the chain always gets bamboozled. I steal, son, but I don't get caught. That's my contract with society. Now if you can catch me stealing, I'll go to jail. But if you can't, then I've earned the money." I respected that, man. I thought that shit was cool as a little kid. A few years after that, they finally caught him. Sent him to jail. Dies five years later. My respect goes with him. I thought he was free doing what he did, but he wasn't. He was in prison. Just like you are now, Elliot. But I'm gonna break you out.

I do morphine. The key to doing morphine without turning into a junkie is to limit yourself to 30 milligrams a day. Anything more just builds up your tolerance.
Elliot
Krista: What is it about society that disappoints you so much?
Elliot: Oh, I don't know. Is it that we collectively thought Steve Jobs was a great man, even when we knew he made billions off the backs of children? Or maybe it's that it feels like all our heroes are counterfeit. The world itself's just one big hoax.
Hello, friend. Hello, friend? That's lame. Maybe I should give you a name, but that's a slippery slope. You're only in my head. We have to remember that. Shit.
Elliot
Emma [to Molly]: Everybody thinks what you did was amazing. Everybody thinks what dad did was amazing.
Sammy: Not everyone. Some actually think it was kind of stupid.
I'm trying to convince the Chinese, I'm trying to convince the world, that we are a peaceful and friendly nation, anxious to do business, eager to welcome visitors. Canceling celebrations, dropping bombs, using gas against our own people would make that difficult, don't you think?
Jamal
I can see you're uncomfortable, and I don't want you to lie. You know, people who lie, sometimes they disappear, and they're never seen again.
Col. Mahmoud
People, they hate you. They don't even know you., and they hate you. Why? Because you are my son. Because you have been given everything they've been denied. They think you're a fat lazy slob. Why would you work so hard to prove them right?
Jamal Al Fayeed [to Ahmed]
I think I just need someone to tell me what to do. How to grieve. How to breathe, how to be a mother to my children. I've lived in this town my whole life, and I feel like I've never been here before. I'm just...completely lost.
Molly
Carolyn: Maybe I should go.
Charles: What? Like maybe we have a ghost in the house?
You know, if this is going to work, you're going to have to put away your preconceptions, as unfamiliar as that may be for you.
