The Fall of the House of Usher Season 1 Episode 7 Quotes

Roderick: This is it, Freddie. They're all gone, and it's all about to fall apart. So, I need to count on you. And when they call, and they will call, you just don't pick up,that's the best message. And if they corner you in the street,
you tell them, "I'm Frederick Usher, I'm the repository of the hopes and dreams of a fucking empire." "So take your treacherous bullshit elsewhere." Can you do that?
Frederick: I can.

And, strictly speaking, I try to never intervene this directly, but… [chuckles] …the pliers got me thinking.

Verna
