Tyrant Season 3 Episode 8: "Ask for the Earth" Quotes
Maloof: I'm not concerned. The people of Abuddin are used to the government telling them what to do. The anger will pass. Pretty soon, it'll feel like the same old normal.
Molly: Once the war is over -- in six months or a year -- once you've declared elections again, this will all be remembered as nothing more than a blip.
I'm sorry if that upsets you. But you gave me a voice, and I have to use it. If I don't, who am I? I am nothing. I am less than you are.
Daliyah [to Barry]
Barry: You have to stop speaking out against me. Daliyah.
Daliyah: You have no right to ask me that.
Barry: Daliyah. Daliyah, this is me.
Daliyah: What's that supposed to mean? Do I owe you something? Because I slept with you? Because I love you?

Barry: But how many more innocent people will die? How many more children?
Molly: I don't see those children's faces anymore. I just see hers. Emma's. In a constant loop inside my head. "Mommy," she said. "Mommy, help me." But I can't. I can't. That's Daddy's job.
You want to do a job, do it yourself, Barry. Don't leave it for someone else. You want to kill the man who murdered your daughter, you have to do it yourself.
Molly
I don't know what your plans are, Maloof. I don't know what grand political dreams are floating around in there. But I wouldn't get ahead of yourself. Costly stalemates usually aren't the stepping stones to greatness.
Cogswell
Leila: The point is they rebuilt. It's a lesson of human resilience.
Cogswell: That's one way of looking at it.
Leila: How would you prefer to think of it?
Cogswell: A monument to our ability to paint things over as if they never happened.
I'm done with forgiveness.
Molly
I have blood on my hands that I can never wash off. No amount of feeling guilty can change that. I'm of this place now, Barry. I'm stained by the ugliness of this place.
Molly
