Thorne [to Delaney]: It excites me: the thought of it. When I realize the woman beneath me is capable of what she did. Now I know the secret in her head, and it makes me so hard, and so angry. And she likes it. Since you came back, our fucking has become almost murderous. It exhausts us. I have this wicked, wicked thing beneath me, and it's my life long duty to punish her. It exhausts us both, beautiful exhaustion. And in the morning I read the Gazette, and she eats her toast, like a sweet little bird. I didn't come to sell you insurance Mr. Delaney. I came to thank you.

Taboo Season 1 Episode 3 Quotes

Dumbarton: So what do you want?
Delaney: Tea.
Dumbarton: Tea?
Delaney: You tell Carlsbad that I want tea.
Dumbarton: You know, Carlsbad said that Delaney might just be crazy enough to take us all on: The King, the Company, and the free 15. Maybe she was right.
Delaney: Well, you tell Carlsbad, from me, that I will cede sovereignty of Nootka Sound to whichever nation offers me the monopoly of the trade of furs for tea, from Fort George to Canton. A monopoly. That's what I want. All the tea in China.

The British want you dead. We want you alive, so that's something, huh? You take pain like a stone. That's something you picked up in Africa, maybe.
