Sometimes one network really stands out, and FOX made the cut this week. From Lucifer to Scream Queens to The Exorcist, the writing was on the wall. They’re trying to entertain us.
That’s not to say all other networks aren’t, of course. It was a really good week all around. Check out quotes from the premieres of The CW superheroes shows, the end of Halt and Catch Fire and the trio of medical dramas: Grey’s Anatomy, Code Black and Chicago Med.
You won’t be disappointed!
Lucifer
Lucifer: Have you ever considered I might enjoy exploring humanity? Charlotte: They eat, darling. All they do is eat. And, then afterward the food comes out changed. And, not for the better.
Scream Queens
Chanel #3: Can I just say, for the record, before we begin, that yoga is just stretching for douchebags? Cassidy Cascade: Noted.
The Exorcist
Mother Bernadette: So. Marcus Keane. Father Bennett speaks admiringly of you. What’s the phrase he used? He’s a pain in my ass.
Westworld
Logan: I know that you think you have a handle on what this is gonna be, guns and tits and all that mindless shit that I usually enjoy. You have no idea. This place seduces everybody, eventually. But by the end you’re going to be begging me to stay because this place is the answer to that question you’ve been asking yourself. William: What question? Logan: Who you really are. And I can’t fuckin’ wait to meet that guy.
Shameless
Fiona: What time is it? Veronica: Not as early as you ringing my doorbell last night.
Once Upon a Time
Hook: We’re taking things slow. Quite slow, actually. I’m still sleeping on a cot, in a pirate ship, next to a pregnant woman who likes to snore.
Masters of Sex
Libby: Why have we endured all this pain, all this suffering, if not for the two of you to end up together? You belong together, Bill, and I belong with someone who makes me feel that way.
Supergirl
Kara: It’s only been twelve hours since you asked me to choose a new position, and most of those hours I was asleep. Cat: Really? I offer you the keys to the kingdom and you just go to sleep? Kara: It was night time.
Gotham
Barbara: It’s Gotham, baby, we’ve all got flair!
The Big Bang Theory
Leonard: You can’t have your head shoved in a toilet as much as I did and not pick up a few things about plumbing.
From Dusk Till Dawn
Amaru: You think you can break me with pain? I am pain.
Scorpion
Walter: Guys, why didn’t you tell me Paige was in the cargo hold? Toby: I think things just got worse. Sly: And that would be problem number six.
This Is Us
Jack: I was a complete stranger and look how quickly I took to your breast. Rebecca: You’re an idiot.
Halt and Catch Fire
Joe: This isn’t about Ryan. It’s um… Cameron: I’m just saying, I don’t think you should keep the world from what you do. Joe: OK. What is it that I do? Cameron: It’s so hard to bring about actual change, real change. And the whole world conspires to stop that from happening. But you bring people together. You create change. I think that that’s really great.
The Flash
Jay: You have to ask yourself what kind of hero you’re gonna be. Are you just gonna take a do over every time you make a mistake, or are you gonna live with them and move forward?
Bull
Marissa: You’re the Jerry Maguire of the American judicial system. Benny: Yeah, I guess I thought Amanda was going to be my Renee Zellweger.
Agents of SHIELD
Daisy [to Robbie]: I like to vet my vengeance demons before I hop in a car with them.
NCIS: New Orleans
Gregorio: When you guys finish a case, doesn’t it get reviewed? Percy: Pride reviews it. Gregorio: Right. But who reviews him? Percy: Girl, I give you a week.
Chicago Fire
Hermann: You want to know what I think when the bells go off? That there’s a family out there and they’re just like mine and they’re counting on me to help them.
Quarry
Naomi: Look at her? She smiles anymore, her teeth are going to fall out.
Queen Sugar
Nova: I’m feeling something I haven’t felt in a very long time. Chantal: What’s that? Nova: Free.
Frequency
Raimi: It’s too much. Everything we do messes up something else. You live, mom dies. Goff lived in Jersey and now he’s gone. I mean, what happens if we tell mom? Maybe we save her, maybe she dies tomorrow.
Younger
Kim: You can’t describe a flavor you’ve never tasted, Deanna. Where you see a circle, Bryce sees a tree.
Arrow
Evelyn: I thought there was going to be… orientation. Oliver: Did the brochure say that?
Empire
Cookie: What are you do slithering around here? Air Hustling?
Law & Order: SVU
Olivia: Your sister Kim made parole and now she wants to live with you. Amanda: I know it sounds crazy. I should probably say no.
Criminal Minds
JJ: It’s so great to see you, even if it’s only temporary. Prentiss: Well, when Hotch told me the director tapped him for special assignment, I wanted to help out. Moreso when he said that you still have escaped serial killers you have to catch, on top of your normal caseload.
Code Black
Jesse: You know, when you speak Spanish, you sound like mi abuela. Leanne: Oh, Jesse. Jesse: She’s old, and confused, and says things that don’t make sense. Leanne [hands Jesse a tongue depressor]: Hey, bite down on this so you don’t chomp your tongue off when I punch your face in.
Designated Survivor
Royce: As President Reagan said, “The nine scariest words in the English language are I’m with the Government and I’m here to help.”
Lethal Weapon
Riggs: Trish, can I ask you a question? Do I look homeless to you? Trish: What? Of course not. I mean, sometimes you’re a little scruffy, but that’s part of your charm.
American Horror Story: Roanoke
Edward Philippe Mott [to Guinness]: The art never judges. I envy it. Life in two dimensions. Frozen in forever beauty. To watch the world go by, unencumbered by the gossip and pain of three-dimensional men. I love them, you know. The paintings. Even more than I love you.
Chicago PD
Burgess: All you should be saying to me right now is ‘I’m sorry, I screwed up.’
Pitch
Ginny: That was the front office. Apparently I’ve been named for the All Stars team. I’m to be the Padres rep.
Legends of Tomorrow
Mick: I knew we were all in trouble when Rip made us put on blouses just to save the King of France.
Rosewood
Rosewood: Everyone loves a good treasure hunt. Pirates… Villa: Don’t say booties. Rosewood: What’s wrong with booties?
How to Get Away with Murder
Annalise: Be on your A game because my brain is steeped in vodka.
Notorious
Jake: Dax, your mom saved my ass. Now, it’s my turn to save yours.
Grey’s Anatomy
Meredith: I can’t do my job if I’m thinking about what you’re thinking about me. Nathan: So you’re thinking about me? Meredith: I don’t want to be.
The Blacklist
Red: In my experience, caramel sauce is an excellent lubricant when it comes to awkward introductions.
Chicago Med
Sarah: Are you from Chicago? I’ve been here five years, I’m from Connecticut, and I still totally dread the winter. I mean, I thought I knew what cold was, but this is, like, “National Geographic,” “Frozen Planet” cold. I carry around those hand warmer pads just in case my eyelids freeze shut.
Supernatural
Sam: I’ve been tortured by the devil himself so you, you’re just an accent in a pantsuit. What can you do to me?
MacGyver
Riley: It’s like someone put you in a copy machine but you came out all Russian and wrinkly.
