Jesse Plemons Quotes

Roger Clark What if we wait? What if we hold off on printing today. Instead we call the Attorney General and we tell them that we intend to print on Sunday. That way we give them and us time to figure out the legality of all of it, while the Court in New York decides the Times case.

Ben Bradlee Are you suggesting we alert the Attorney General to the fact that we have these documents, that we're going to print, in a few days?

Roger Clark Well, yes, that is the idea.

Ben Bagdikian Yeah, well, outside of landing the Hindenburg in a lightning storm, that's about the shittiest idea I've ever heard.

Fritz Beebe Oh boy!

Anthony Essaye Ben, look, we know your reporters are talented. But, The New York Times spent three months going over these documents. You've got, what? Seven hours now until the paper goes to press? Can you honestly tell me that that is enough time to make sure not a single military plan, not a single U.S. soldier, not a single American life will be put in harms way? That this will do no damage to the United States if you publish?

Ben Bradlee Yes.

Roger Clark And you're sure about that?

Ben Bradlee No! That's why I've called you guys.

Bill O'Neal Hey, listen, I'm out, Roy. I'm out!

Roy Mitchell Calm down. Calm down, Bill.

Bill O'Neal Don't you tell me to fuckin calm down, all right? I was almost killed, man! Now, Fred's in jail, I did the damn job, and I'm out!

Roy Mitchell No, that's not how it works.

Bill O'Neal What the fuck do you mean, That's not how it works'? Why don't you give me one good reason why I don't just book it outta here right now?

Roy Mitchell Because... Because, as I've mentioned, it's a year and a half for the stolen car, and five years for impersonating a federal officer. And if you run, I will hunt you down, you understand...

Rose Gordon What is it, George?

George Burbank I just want to say... how nice it is not to be alone.

Michelle You're a credit to your species, Teddy, truly.

Teddy Well, I'm just... trying to help.

George Burbank I was looking for you.

Phil Burbank Well, you found me.

George Burbank Everyone's here. We're just about to eat. They were asking after you.

Phil Burbank Really?

George Burbank Yes, we're counting on your conversation. I wanted to apologize for what I said...

Phil Burbank You two can keep your apologies to yourself, I'm not coming.

George Burbank And what will I say? The Old Lady wants to see you, they've both come a long way.

Phil Burbank Then you tell them the truth. That I stink and I like it!

Don How can you tell them apart?

Teddy Well, you have to know where to look. There are signs.

Don What about these people?

Teddy No, no, they're fine. I mean, they're not fine-fine, but hollowed. You know, like the rest of us. Harmless. Hopeless. And that's the way they planned it. To make us the same as the bees. A dead colony, atomised in a trillion directions with no way home again.

Michelle Where's my hair?

Teddy Your hair has been destroyed.

Michelle You shaved off my hair?

Teddy Yes, we've shaved off your hair.

Michelle Why have you shaved off my hair?

Teddy To prevent you from contacting your ship.

Michelle My ship?

Teddy Your ship.

Michelle What ship?

Teddy Your mothership.

Bill O'Neal A badge is scarier than a gun.

Roy Mitchell Would you mind explaining that for me?

Bill O'Neal Any nigger on the streets can get a gun, sir. A badge is like you got the whole damn army behind you.

George Burbank Rose isn't well, Phil. She's ill.

Phil Burbank Not well? It is high time that bozo and you got next to a few... whatever you call them? Facts! She stashes alcohol all around the place, even drinking in the stinking alley. Look at your face in the mirror! Is it that she could like? Or our money? WAKE! THE HELL UP!

George Burbank That's enough, Phil. Well, what is the harm? The hides were only going to be burned.

Phil Burbank I needed them. I needed them.

George Burbank Well, I apologize.

Phil Burbank They were MINE! I needed them!

Michelle About bees? Uh... Complex society. Work ethic. They do their duty, they build their worlds without complaint or piety or self-obsession.

Teddy Mm-hmm. All true. Which is why they're so easy to exploit, right?

Michelle I just admire their resolve. That's all. Even in the face of peril.

Phil Burbank You got a sore gut?

George Burbank No.

Phil Burbank It looks it pains you to hit two words together.

Val Dodd He's making all of this up as he goes along. You don't see that?

Gary I do hope you keep me in mind for any future game nights.

Max Oh, you bet.

Gary I've always enjoyed the camaraderie of good friends competing in games of chance and skill.

Annie Yeah. Yeah, well, we'll do that, but tonight, it's just the two of us.

Gary Three bags of Tostito's Scoops, I notice.

Max There was a special on these tonight. Three for one.

Gary Three for one?

Max Yep.

Gary How can that be profitable for Frito Lay?

Max These corporations, I don't know what they're doing.

Gary Well, you two enjoy each other. It's often we don't appreciate what we have until it's gone.

Max I think that's it.

Annie Okay. Bye-bye!

George Burbank I just came over here to speak about something.

Phil Burbank Come on partner. Open your talker. What is it?

George Burbank His Nibs will be joining us for dinner. And the old gent and the old lady.

Phil Burbank Well sir, ain't we going into society.

Phil Burbank She on the "panana" again? Setting your teeth on edge?

George Burbank No. I like to hear Rose play.

Phil Burbank Well, old timer, what is it? What's in the noodle?

George Burbank Well... Phil... I... I just...

Phil Burbank Go on, spit it out.

George Burbank It's just... about His Nibs, the governor.

Phil Burbank Alright.

George Burbank And er... it's not so much about His Nibs... but er, his wife, actually. I was thinking, His Nibs probably wouldn't mind so much. But... his missus might.

Phil Burbank Might what, for dear Christ's sake?

George Burbank Well, it's sort of a hard thing... to say. She might mind if you come to the table without a wash up.

George Burbank Yeah.

Casey Look, Teddy, um, I know it was a long time ago, what I did to you, man...

Teddy It's fine.

Casey No, it wasn't fine. It was wrong, but I promise you it's not because I liked it. It was just, you know, probably some weird power thing. I was-I was young and lost, and I promise you, dude, I never, ever did that to anybody else.

Teddy Just forget it. It's done. Seriously.

Casey Really?

Teddy Mm-hmm.

Roy Mitchell Forgive me, I'm confused. So, this kid, Alex Rackley, was labelled an informant, and then killed... by an actual FBI informant. And we're just letting him walk for murder?

Leslie Carlyle It's beautiful. He's on the lam, right? So, any time he goes into a Panther office, we get a warrant for harboring a fugitive. He's in the interview room right now with our liaison guys, planning the next stop on his little tour.

Roy Mitchell Wow. That's, uh...

Leslie Carlyle Takes a thief to catch a thief, Roy.

Teddy Lies.

Michelle Truth. What's the difference?

George Burbank Did you write to the old lady?

Phil Burbank Yeah, I dropped them both a line.

George Burbank Did you say something about Rose?

Phil Burbank Rose. Yeah well, you and I know what the old lady would feel if she thought you were getting mixed up with her. She'd likely have a hemorrhage.

George Burbank The old lady would feel as one Mrs. Burbank would for another Mrs. Burbank.

Phil Burbank Come again?

George Burbank We were married Sunday. She got rid of her property in Beech.

Kurt As the world becomes more and more confusing, we tend to focus on the things that are right there in front of us while ignoring the massive forces that actually change and shape our lives. And, with people working longer and longer hours for less and less, when we do have free time, the last thing we want is complicated analysis on our government, lobbying, international trade agreement, and tax bills. So it's no surprise that, when a monotone, bureaucratic Vice President came to power, we hardly noticed as he achieved a position of authority that very few leaders in the history of America ever had.

George Burbank What you said about her boy tonight, Phil. It made her cry.

Phil Burbank She had her ear to the door?

George Burbank She was crying, Phil.

Phil Burbank Well, hell. The boy had to snap out of it and get human. Just pointed it out, is all. She should damn well know.

Roy Mitchell I'm all for civil rights but you can't cheat your way to equality. And you certainly can't shoot your way to it.
