Matt: Where is she?
Damon: She went splat.
2. The Americans
First thing. You can't be afraid to be hit and you can't be afraid to hit. Ever. You don't want to get hurt, you have to be willing to do anything to protect yourself.
Elizabeth
3. FEUD: Bette and Joan
Hedda: Dateline Los Angeles: Stars of the night sky tend to keep to fixed orbits and never interfere with one another. Seems things sometimes operate that way in Hollywood, too. Bette Davis and Joan Crawford, stars of equal magnitude who ruled in motion pictures in the fabulous '30s, never got to know one another. Now, in the Indian Summer of their careers, they're about to.
4. Shades of Blue
Are you going to dress up prostitutes to look like me too? You might have a hard time; I have a very specific look.

QUINN: Not the first thing.
DAR: Yeah, well, we’re all beautiful when we’re young, aren’t we?
QUINN: Fucking dirty old man.
DAR: Fair enough. For the record, though, I never forced myself on anyone.
6. Big Little Lies
Renata: It felt really nice to be desired today. It meant a lot. Thank you.

Barbara: We dialed 44 and then the number.
8. Chicago Justice
Laura: You went to the lake with the kid still in the ambulance?

Antonio: Remind me not to be a black male.
9. NCIS: Los Angeles
Callen: I put in a request that criminals abandon vehicles in areas that don't require tetanus shots.
Sam: Yeah. Good luck with that.

Elizabeth
11. The Arrangement
Terence: I don't know who this is.

17. Underground

Barry: [laughing} At least. Yeah. That's a great story.
Joe: But you missed the point?
23. This Is Us
Randall: You see, for days, I've been plagued by the question: how do I honor my father's legacy? Then I realized, I honor his legacy by taking what I learned from the way he lived his life and use it to shape the way I go on living mine. So here it is, Tyler. I quit.
24. NCIS
McGee [about his apartment's former tenant]: Did you know that when they found him, he was completely soaked in blood from head to toe? Cops could barely tell that he was human. They said that he looked more like Satan.
