The Badlands [2.1][edit]

Nora Lincoln: Mom, leave her alone.
Della Lincoln: The girl needs help.
Nora Lincoln: Daddy?
Derek Lincoln: Don't look at me. I got a daughter who majors in business, a wife who majors in other people's business. Me, I'm just a restaurant owner.
Nick Vera: A triple murder gets you a date with the needle real quick.
J.T. Simms: I got a problem with you. See like, 50 problems.
Derek: I ain't giving you no money.
J.T. Simms: You pay the tax, or come roll with my crew.
Lilly Rush: That's a bad case of death.
Della Lincoln: I want you outta here!
J.T. Simms: This ain't your business.
Della Lincoln: You disrespect yourself, that's your business. You mess with this block, it's mine.
J.T. Simms: You think this is your block?
Della Lincoln: Oh that's right, and unless you want your friends to see you get smacked by an old woman, you best move!
Scotty Valens: J.T. Simms?
J.T. Simms: What did I do?
Scotty Valens: You tell us about the murders at that chicken ribs place last year.
J.T. Simms: Don't remember nothing about it.
Nick Vera: You sure? Cuz if my boys saw me almost getting bitchslapped by an old woman, I know I'd remember.
J.T. Simms: Check out homicide Barbie!

Factory Girls [2.2][edit]

Will Jeffries: Who's Fanny?
Lilly Rush: One of the factory girls.
Nick Vera: Do you think she shot her husband?
Lilly Rush: We better find out...
Will Jeffries: I'm going with you. I'd LOVE to meet an 80-year-old who shot a guy...
Dottie: Once again, Mr. Walker and Alice were not friendly!
Scotty Valens: What was the problem?
Dottie: A secretary doesn't tell secrets.
Will Jeffries: How does a woman in 1943 make that kind of money?
Scotty Valens: Like I said, naughty.
Lily Rush: Your mind goes right to the gutter.
Scotty Valens: Who wants to bet me?
Will Jeffries: I do. 20 bucks.
Lily Rush: Could your memory be mistaken?
Martha: You get old, you start forgetting things. You don't start making them up.
Dottie: You have a good man overseas and he deserves better!
Alice: Someone like you, you mean?
Dottie: Maybe so.
Alice: I know you'd love that.
Dottie: Well listen to the 5 cent tramp.
Alice: Says the fussy old maid.
Buddy: A single woman was considered to be a real flop.

Daniela [2.3][edit]

Chris: New York's only a few hours away, so if you're not busy, maybe sometime, I mean only if you want to, we can... go see the Eiffel Tower or something.
Lily Rush: Hey, Jeffries. Looks like this job might have died on us.
Will Jeffries: That's not all that died. We just luminoled the scene. It's a bloodbath.
Daniela: Get some bread for this ring, get that jive turkey landlord off my back!
John: We wouldn't be here if that screaming bitch didn't run out on us.
Chris: Cuz you're a pervert, man. Cassie didn't want to be your damn porn star.
Chris: The Empire State Building.
Daniela: What?
Chris: It's on your wall. And the Eiffel Tower and the Leaning Tower of whatchacallit.
Daniela: Pisa.

The House [2.4][edit]

Lily Rush: Hank would never cry "Uncle". You got to admire that, guy had heart.
John Stillman: You're supposed to be on the side of the law, Lil.
Lily Rush: The guy was doing 20 years... for stealing a pair of shoes?
Lily Rush: So this guy died twice?
Scotty Valens: Told you this place is haunted.
Inmate: How's it feel way up there on that wall, huh, Hank boy?
Hank: Lonely!

Who's Your Daddy? [2.5][edit]

Brad Atwater: [to Mei] You wanna translate here, cuz I don't think Miss Saigon understands me.
Channary: I am from Cambodia. Saigon is in Vietnam and I understand completely.
Mark: I knew this would come back to haunt me.
Scotty Valens: Yeah, well. Boo.
Booker: See you ain't wearin' no wedding ring.
Lily Rush: Well, you know I just can't find the right ex-con drug-dealing smack addict to settle down with.
Scotty Valens: Hey, what was on her mouth that you wiped off?
Booker: Piece of dirt.
Scotty Valens: As a complete stranger, but you felt compelled to clean her up?
Booker: Woman had a beautiful face. It bothered me.
Channary: Beauty is an illusion.
Sen: A nice one.

The Sleepover [2.6][edit]

Scotty Valens: People know this ain't the best place for swimming laps?
Lily Rush: Name like "Devil's Pool" kind of says it all.
Ariel: [about Tiffany and Brandi] I was JV and those two were Varsity bitches.
Tiffany: [to Brandi] Guess what, bitch! Time to buy a diary cause I'm not keeping your secrets any more.
Kelly: Hey, there's Ariel.
Rita: Mom, we're not friends anymore.
Kelly: Why not?
Rita: She's friends with Brandi now. Brandi doesn't like me.
Kelly: Well, then Brandi's an idiot.
Mr. Beaudry: She was capable of things that no parent wants to think about.
Will Jeffries: Like killing Rita?
Ariel: I didn't know.
Lilly: Didn't know what?
Ariel: I didn't know you lived through it.

It's Raining Men [2.7][edit]

Will Jeffries: So, who were these gay men?
Carlo: You want me to out them?
Nick Vera: For a homicide investigation, you bet.
Artie: The gift I want is justice.
Carlo: I'm ugly now, I make money cleaning birdcages. But look at me there. I was gorgeous.
Lily Rush: [about Carlo] Now how's a guy like him make it when so many others don't?
Artie: If God was punishing people for their sins, he had a badly researched list.
Finch: Things don't get done when you rant, and rave, and threaten. Things get done quietly.
Jeff: We'll be dead. That's quiet.

Red Glare [2.8][edit]

Lily Rush: It wasn't just Elliot that died that day. A whole family died too. You wanna be a man of action? This is your last chance.
Reina Kraus: [about Elliot] He was true to her, which made me love him even more.
Scotty Valens: But when Elliot was killed, you didn't report this Ribble guy to the police?
Mr. Sealey: That would have been pointless. Wade Ribble was the police.
Mr. Sealey: First rule of the witch hunt, don't limit yourself to the witches!
Scotty Valens: Those statues ain't going nowhere.
Mrs. Lang: Neither is Elliot.

MindHunters [2.9][edit]

John Stillman: You read a lot, huh, George?
George Marks: It's what I do.
John Stillman: Spend a lot of time with those records, reading about our dead women.
George Marks: Yeah, it's better than fiction, right?
John Stillman: How so?
George Marks: No one reads them, no one cares about them. But me. Oh, by the way? [smiling] You're not gonna find anything in my house.
Scotty Valens: Know what I think? This guy? Never got laid once in his life. Because, you know, it sounds to me like he's got a real problem with the ladies. You know?
George Marks: You're the one with the lady problem from what I hear. Nothing that a little thorazine can't fix.
George Marks: Fine line between being human and an animal. Look at you.
Nick Vera: So, tell me about those dumb animals, George!
George Marks: I once read a pursued animal will run on broken toes, fractured shins, bloody stumps of feet. There are worse things than rape, Nick. Things that go on for hours...
George Marks: Ever wonder what Mrs. Jeffries begged for on that lonely highway before she died?
Will Jeffries: Not gonna work, George. Sorry.
George Marks: Because I know. Don't forget your deer eye.
Will Jeffries: Deer eye, George? You, uh, a taxidermist?
George Marks: Done talking to you.
Will Jeffries: Because if you never hunted, why you have these at your place?
George Marks: Done talking. I want the blonde.
John Stillman: [to Lily about George] Put him in those woods, Lil.

Discretion [2.10][edit]

Will Jefferies: Well that was 6 hours well spent, I'll tell you that.
Lily Rush: Ah, the training seminar.
Will Jefferies: Yeah, this guy has never been on the line, never worked a homicide, but he's an expert.
Nick Vera: His answer to everything, auto-erotic asphyxiation.
(later)
Will Jefferies: So New Haven's the beginning, North Philly's the end.
Lily Rush: What's the middle?
Nick Vera: (sarcastically) Auto-erotic asphyxiation.
Scotty Valens: Maybe I'll look at this job, Sinclair Thomas.
John Stillman: You got any direction?
Scotty Valens: I just like his name.
John Stillman: It's got to be personal – you don't stab someone twelve times just to rob them and then leave the car and money behind.

Blank Generation [2.11][edit]

Nick Vera: What's wrong with your cats?
Lily Rush: [glares] Nothing!
Nick Vera: Every cult you ever read about, the leader's doin' all the ladies.
Will Jeffries: [shrugs] It's good to be king.
Matthew: I came back to save you!
Alison: And I'm saving you.
Scotty Valens: [about Elisa's letter] She wrote about this birthday party. Her friend turning 14 and how we're both there sneaking looks and talking about how the river smells, and in her head, she's waiting for the light to fade so I can hold her hand in the dark and no one would see. Don't tell me that note is the end. It's the beginning.
Stewart: Matthew, what do you want from me?
Matthew: I want to forget you.
Maurice: Suicide's for cowards.
Lily Rush: Maybe you shouldn't be here right now?
Scotty Valens: Then you tell me... where I should be.

Yo, Adrian [2.12][edit]

Nick Vera: Two years in the lockup for putting steppops in a coma?
Mad Mo: Those records are supposed to be sealed.
Nick Vera: Don't worry, we taped them back up.
Mad Mo: Killing somebody has a way of throwing a man off track.
Will Jeffries: Not for Tommy Sugar. He's been Philly's top boxing promoter for the last 25 years.
Mad Mo: Well that's some truth, and here's some more: the night Jerry Stone died, Tommy Sugar was born.
Lily Rush: Gina, just so you know, your dad was genuinely sorry about Jerry.
Gina: Yeah. Too bad he didn't feel that way before he let Mad Mo kill him.

Time To Crime [2.13][edit]

Will Jeffries: So, the baby was born, left the hospital and never made it home.
Lilly Rush: Maybe it went to another store?
John Stillman: Or maybe someone kidnapped it.
John Stillman: You know the mayor's gun recovery program?
Lilly Rush: Turn in a gun, get a pair of sneakers?
'Uncle Sam' Larson: Hey, I saved their lives!
Scotty Valens: And made 89 bucks to boot.
John Stillman: Cell phones were science fiction in '87, Scotty.
Rodney: Looks awfully young to be one of my customers.
Nick Vera: Come on, Rodney, you'd sell to a toddler if they had the cash.
Will Jeffries: That Mac-10 wasn't delivered to any gun store in Philadelphia.
Nick Vera: Yeah, and I got the paper cuts to prove it.
Scotty Valens: I'm not interested in your sister, Lil.
Lilly Rush: Good, cause she's a train wreck.
Rodney Johnson: The statute of limitations for theftery is up, right?
Eric Morrison: Hey, if you see Truly again, would you apologize to her for me? You know, for being such a demented kid?
Scotty Valens: Tell her yourself. Ain't like she lives in Antarctica.
Jessie Odoms: I was such a fool. Thought my heart was actually breaking. Crazy, right? Considering what God was about to teach me about real heartbreak.
Eric Morrison: Then I'll just get another gun and hunt you down with it.
Truly Sinclair: You can try, Eric. Just remember you ain't the only one gonna be armed.
Boy #2: [about the gun] Give it back!
'Uncle Sam' Larson: You lucky to be alive, you that? Now git! Before I really bust a cap in your scrawny asses!
Lilly Rush: How much you pay for this, back in 2000?
Jason James Sr.: 89 bucks.
Scotty Valens: That's cheap.
Lilly Rush: Well, it was used.
Truly: I seen those drawings you make, that list of people with skulls by their names.
Eric: Ever hear of the word 'privacy'?
Truly: I was here in '99. Hell, I was here in '89. Feel like I been here since '09.

Wishing [2.15][edit]

Colin: (referring to his stuffed rabbit) Mr. Wilson! Thanks, Mom. (referring to the movie they're going to see) I wish he could come! Is it rated "R"?
Sarah: Honey, Mr. Wilson is a rabbit, so he ages in rabbit years. He's been around a good long time.
Colin: (about his Valentine's gift) Nathan, how is Leah gonna know that I love her if they're mush?
Nathan: Make a wish. Fountains are the best place to make a wish about feelings. Everyone knows that.
Colin: I'm not supposed to open the fridge or the cupboards. I'm supposed to wait for Mom.
Leah: Where is she?
Colin: Taking a bath. A long one.
Leah: How long?
Colin: She went in two days ago.
Det. Rush (to Josh): Who did Mac want Colin to stay away from?
Josh: His girlfriend. Leah.
Det. Rush: This have to do with the Valentine's?
Josh: The music room. He jumped her.
Det. Vera: What? Sexually?
Josh: Colin was the nicest guy on Earth, but I guess he's still a guy.
Nathan (about Colin): With both of us gone, the world would have eaten him alive.

Revenge [2.16][edit]

Scotty Valens: Hey, pervert! We're talking to you!
Ken Bream: What did you call me?
Scotty Valens: I know what you are. I make a study out of people like you.
Ken Bream: Do you know the feeling when you wake up from a nightmare, and you realize it's just a dream? How good that feels? That relief? When I wake up, I realize it was all real.
Rudy Tanner: I didn't kill him.
Ken Bream: I saw the pictures.
Rudy Tanner: That's all it was. It was just pictures.
Ken Bream: And that was enough. You deserve worse than this. But it'll have to do.
Rudy Tanner: [smirking] Then let me tell you the truth, 'Dad'. He was the best piece of--
[Ken shoots Rudy]
Scotty Valens: Look, whatever your mom's failings were, your dad did worse.
Archie Tanner: No. No, he- - He loved me.
Scotty Valens: That ain't love, Archie.
Ed Kripke: God, help me. I left him. I hadn't had a hit in days, you don't know what it's like.
Will Jefferies: [sarcastically] Guess I'm missing out.
Lilly Rush: Non-filters. Reminds me of home. My Mom had a two pack a day habit.
Archie Tanner: Good for her.
Lilly Rush: Little vodka to smoothe it all out. Some nights more than a little. Then it was my job to clean her up, put her to bed.
Archie Tanner: That sounds great.
Lilly Rush: [laughing] It sucked! [pause] I did it anyway. Know why? Because after I tucked her in some nights? She'd reach out, like this. [Lilly reaches out to brush Archie's face] And that made it okay. Her doing that, loving me. I would've done anything for that.
Archie Tanner: Yeah?
Lilly Rush: Yeah. Like you did. For years. For your dad.
Scotty Valens: But then Kyle came along. Right? Took your bedroom, your stuff.
Lilly Rush: Your dad found someone new to love. And he was going to take him away. And leave you behind!

Nick Vera: Shut up!

Strange Fruit [2.19][edit]

Linda O'Hara: About time they got some female detectives on the force, they didn't like girls in the club till '73.
Lilly Rush: Pretty rough for a female cop's victim.
Linda O'Hara: Rough? Commissioners put first-timers on the worst street corners, no patrol cars, no backup.
Lilly Rush: Can't live with them, can't kill them off.

Kensington [2.20][edit]

Monty Fineman: Butch was the one who did all the yelling, but Joe's silence, that's what said the most.

The Woods [2.23][edit]

George Marks: I did a bad thing, mother.
Simone Marks: What did you do?
George Marks: I took out their eyes.
George Marks: [to Lilly] I told you long ago. We would go hunting together in the woods, you and I.
George Marks: God's a sociopath. Free from all pretense of love and loyalty.
George Marks: Too bad you couldn't save her.
John Stillman: Save who?
George Marks: Your daughter. From the big bad wolf, his sharp wet teeth.
John Stillman: Let me talk to Lilly, George.
George Marks: A real father would've eviscerated the thug who soiled his little girl. But you, you just talked.
John Stillman: Now you listen to me. You won't get out of this alive without my help, George.
George Marks: I know all about your help, it comes 18 years too late.
George Marks: Lilly, I am a god in these woods!
Lilly Rush: No, George! You're a little boy...whose mother didn't love him.
