Special Ops: Lioness
Sundays on Paramount+Special Ops: Lioness Quotes
Joe: Stay right behind me.
Cruz: You stay right behind me.
Kaitlyn: [to Joe] You go into this trying to protect her, you’re going to get killed. [to Cruz] And you go into this trying to prove yourself, you’re getting killed. The only mission is the mission you’re on.
Cruz: Yes ma’am.
Kaitlyn: Joe?
Joe: I hear you.
Kaitlyn: Joe.
Joe: Understood.
Your whole life is going to be nothing but adult problems soon enough. My advice to you? Be a girl for as long as you can, don’t rush to be a woman – because once you are, you don’t ever get to be a girl again.
Joe
Kaitlyn: Joe
Joe: Can I have two hours?
Kaitlyn: Yes, but you can’t have three.
Aaliyah: You can't hear the music, just the ocean. They should outlaw music on the beach. The time for music is later. I don’t want to get married, either.
Cruz: Then don’t.
Aaliyah: What I want is not factored into the equation. Could be worse, I guess. At least he’s kind. I don’t want to get old - I absolutely dread it.
Joe: We used to say ‘I love you, bye’. Maybe we should go back to doing that.
Neil: Yeah, we should do that more.
Guy: You a model?
Joe: Yeah.
Guy: You look like one. You alone?
Joe: I’m with my husband.
Guy: What’s he do?
Joe: He plays professional football. You’re in his spot. That wouldn’t be good for you.
Guy: Enough said.
Kate: This is…
Neil: Too much to handle?
Kate: Yes.
Neil: That’s why you don’t have sex at fourteen. That’s why your mother and I forbid you from driving in a car with a teenage driver. It breaks my heart that this is the way you need to learn these lessons.
Kate: I’m sorry.
Neil: No, you don’t apologize to me. You forgive yourself. Now, at least you can learn consequences of actions while still benefitting from the lesson. Holly won’t get that chance, do you understand me?
Kyle: I fuckin’ love you, Joe.
Joe: You don’t fucking love me, you owe me mother fucker — when I need it most.
Ehsan: No more Sammy for a while. He goes home to grow up, and I think we go somewhere too.
Cruz: Where?
Ehsan: Surprise.
Aaliyah: I love surprises.
Cruz: I already reported it, I just didn’t tell them. She, uh, she invited me up here, you know? I’m trying to make friends. I’m trying to start a new life. I’m trying – I am really, really trying. Please don’t tell, please.
Doctor: It’s not my place to tell your friends, but I need to be assured that the authorities are aware.
Cruz: They arrested him last night, in North Carolina. That’s - that’s why I’m here, getting away from it. Or at least I’m trying to.
Joe: Undecided.
Cruz: That’s interesting.
Joe: It’s boring as fuck, that’s the point. Don’t let her friends dig into you. You answer their questions with questions. Your life is boring, their life is fascinating, ask them questions about their lives – it’s all they want to talk about anyway.
Marine Recruiter: You do that to his face?
Cruz: I cheated. I used a frying pan.
Marine Recruiter: In war, if you aren’t cheating, you aren’t trying.
Cruz: I’ve been at war my whole life, then.
Marine Recruiter: Well, you came to the right place.
