Do let me make one thing inescapably clear. The reason I'm not supporting you isn't because you're a fat, ugly, queer. It's because you're weak and I never back a losing horse.

Dottie: Don't you worry about me, Lewis. I'm teaching the kid mah-jong.
Lewis: Jesus, don't start betting. He's a math genius, remember?
Dottie: No one takes Mrs. Minter's little girl to the cleaners, hun.

Lewis: My fucking car.
Tiago: You'll get you another car.
Lewis: Ahhh, this is a V12! You know how much hustling I had to do to get a V12? Damn tragedy, is what this is!

Lewis: You fellas know Mr. Goss works for Adolf, right? When he's not killing Jews, that is.
Goss: Gentlemen, will you excuse us?
Lewis: Yeah, go grab a copy of Mein Kampf at the gift shop.

Goss: Oh Daniel! Robust representative of your tribe! You shall, one day, look back on this trip into the lions' den and weep for all you know and all you've lost.
Lewis: It's not the lions you have to look out for, pal. It's us roaches.

Elsa: Don't you think I am a silly girl?
Maria: No, I do not.
Elsa: What do you think I am, then?
Maria: When I know, I will tell you.
Elsa: When you know, it'll be too late.

Lewis: How about I investigate Lady Macbeth and you head over to City Hall?
Tiago: I was thinking maybe I go to the temple. Miss Adelaide will have her guard down if it's the 'spic' coming in.
Lewis: Sorry to break it to you but she hates us both equally.

Alex: [translated] He's smarter than he seems.
Lewis: He's gotta be cause he seems like a dope.

You wanna know why I gave him up? Because I couldn't kill hope. You got something most Pachucos don't. That heart, that faith, that molten lava heat that can burn through hate. So turn your fear into courage. Make Diego's sacrifice count!

Rio

I need this to be real, Tiago. So I choose to believe it is.

Molly

Tiago: Mexicans and City Hall don't get very far.
Lewis: Jews haven't fared much better.

Tiago: Fuckin' Los Angeles. I don't know that we can save her.
Lewis: Save her? Pal, we're just trying to survive her.

Penny Dreadful: City of Angels Season 1 Quotes

All Mankind needs to be the monster he truly is is being told he can.

Magda

There will come a time when the world is ready for me. When nation will battle nation. When race will devour race. When brother will kill brother. Until not a soul is left. Are you ready? And on that day, a leader will arise and set all the kingdoms to war and all the races, one against the other. A day when the Dark Powers are coming into alignment and the world is ready to burn. And all it will take is one final spark.
