“The heart is a funny thing, isn’t it? Beats a million times a day and still has time to fall in love.”

Christian: Tell me you don’t feel something.
Syed: What I feel doesn’t matter.
Christian: Yeah, well, it matters to me.
Syed: Well, it can’t.
Christian: You and me-
Syed: There is no “you and me”! It never happened, it was a mistake.
Christian: I don’t believe that.
Syed: Well, it has to be.
Christian: Why? … Ever made this mistake before?
Syed: What?
Christian: Is this the first time it’s happened?
Syed: Yes! … No. Look, I dunno. A couple of time. Four.
Christian: All one night stands?
Syed: *nods*
Christian: Your choice or theirs?
Syed: Mine.
Christian: They OK with that?
Syed: Well, I didn’t ask.
Christian: Well, what if I’m not Ok? What if I don’t want it to be a mistake?
Syed: Sorry.
Christian: What if it was something that meant a lot to me, that felt right? And good?
Syed: Don’t.
Christian: It wasn’t some zipless one night stand…
Syed: It wasn’t anything!
Christian: … because I’ve had enough of those to know the difference. Please, Syed, I know what it was! Why fight it? Why fight me…?

Brendan: I was brought up to hate the English, and I had to come here to learn about love.
Liza: And what did you learn about love?
Brendan: It’s much stronger than hate. I learned that from you and Charlie.

David’s dad: George is a dead end. What could he ever do for you?
David: George knows who I am. Do you know what that feels like? To have somebody to look at you, and know who you are and what you want. It’s like waking up over and over again.

George: Turn over, frat boy.

![Cat: You’ve been sitting there all night, not moving. Are you dead or something?
George: Come here a minute. Sit. Look Kat, I’ve got to ask you something.
[…]
Cat: Fire away.
George: Something happened to me last night. It’s like I was walking down this street that I knew really well and I didn’t even have to look to where I was going. And all of a sudden I’ve found myself somewhere I hadn’t never been before - I felt like I’d been there my whole life, and I wasn’t afraid anymore.
Cat: What happened when you got there?
George: Well…. I kissed my best friend. David. On the mouth. You know, the way mom and dad do sometimes.
[…]
Cat: Are you gonna kiss David again?
George: I don’t know. M-maybe.

George: What would it mean if I said that I wanted you?
David: Anything you want.

George: Are you getting the thorns out of my ass, or you know, touching my ass?
David: I’m touching your ass to get the thorns out.
George: I just wanted to make sure the lines don’t get crossed here.
David: They got crossed some years ago.
George: Once. And I hardly remember it.
David: … I remember everything. The only thing that felt better than you putting your hand on me, was when I put my hand on you-
George: Shut the fuck up. We were just kids.
David: Sure. And you know where that line is now, don’t you?
George: You damn right I do.
David: So just to be certain - why don’t you tell me where it is…?

Dr. Manhattan: Will you smile if I admit I was wrong?
Laurie Juspeczyk: About what?
Dr. Manhattan: Miracles. Events with astronomical odds of occurring, like oxygen turning into gold. I’ve longed to witness such an event, and yet I neglect that in human coupling, millions upon millions of cells compete to create life, for generation after generation until, finally, your mother loves a man, Edward Blake, the Comedian, a man she has every reason to hate, and out of that contradiction, against unfathomable odds, it’s you - only you - that emerged. To distill so specific a form, from all that chaos. It’s like turning air into gold. A miracle. And so… I was wrong. Now dry your eyes, and let’s go home.

Mike: So are you going to testify?
Harvey: I’m not sure what choice I have.
Mike: Well, some dickhead once told me that when they put a gun to your head it’s not just give in and be killed: there are 146 other options. You’ll figure something out.
