American Gods
Sundays 8:00 PM on StarzAmerican Gods Season 1 Quotes
There aren't just two Americas. Everybody looks at Lady Liberty and sees a different face. Even if it crumbles under question. People will defend the warm, safe feeling their America gives them. They will defend it with bullets.
Mr. Wednesday
Did you have a genie in your bottle? Did you rub one out of him, darling?
Mad Sweeney
There's always been a god-shaped hole in man's head. Trees were the first to fill it. Mr. Wood was the trees. Mr. Wood was the forest. Well, he was a very old god who saw something very new.

Mr. Wednesday
Mad Sweeney: I've done the math. This times that equals you're a cunt, divided by the only way I'm going to get what I need is if you give it to me, equals the only way you're going to give it to me is if you don't need it. Like my friend Jesus Christ, the only thing you need, dead wife, is a resurrection.
Laura: Did you just name drop Jesus Christ like you know a guy who knows a guy?
I am the dead woman. Where is my fucking car?

Technical Boy
You're a person. I know people. Everything about all of them. You have a name. Shadow Moon. You have a blood type and a recurring nightmare. B-positive and an orchard of bones. You prefer Swiss to cheddar and can't abide the tines of two forks touching.
Mr. World
Wouldn't you like an upgrade? A brand new, lemon-scented you?
Media [as Marilyn Monroe]
Full-color pinup to film legend to murdered. Oh, don't believe what they say about an accidental overdose. Last thing I saw from the floor of my Brentwood bungalow was a CIA spook jabbing a needle into my eyeball, lest I tell Kennedy tales unwanted.
Media
You're the wife. You're the dead wife. Give me my fucking coin, dead wife.
Mad Sweeney
Mass delusions are as old as I am. I was there when the Martians invaded in 1938. What a panic. Powerful panic. Now there are starmen waiting in the sky. They believed it was true, and it was.
Media [as David Bowie]
Laura: Are you still my puppy?
Shadow: No. I'm not.
